Anatomy of a Scandal - Season 1 Edit

A "Shitbit" as it were.

A bit assertive, but not brutish?

A bit frustrated, not… not enraged.

A bit…

A Conservative, but a feminist nonetheless.

A fling is just that.

A former Oxford rowing Blue, I understand.

A frenzied bout of lovemaking

A key?

A kid in my class's parents knew just what I asked Father Christmas for.

A kiss in the lift was one thing, exciting, a bit dangerous,

A little black dress.

A little, yes.

A lot of horrible things happened that night,

A lot of people think they know me.

A man jumped, or fell, to his death,

A man who abandons a long standing colleague and friend

A man without doubts or qualms.

A matter of minutes?

A mere three metres away.

A necklace. Platinum with a charm shaped like a key.

A nightmare.

A serious crime, obviously.

A sign that she'd become integral to my

A subordinate?

A test of what?

A thousand apologies for my beastly friends.

A typical sort of day?

A violent act of **** to which Miss Lytton did not consent?

A violent ****.

A Whitehouse.

A woman who still loved him,

A woman who was willing to resume the relationship?

About everything.

About everything. The future.

About his wife?

About me?

About your part in what brought Mr Whitehouse here?

Abrupt.

Absolutely no ear.

Absolutely. Yes.

Accusation.

Actually, Tuppence, she's of another generation.

Adonis.

Advice from your barrister or Chris Clarke?

After Miss Lytton told Mr Whitehouse she found his arrogance attractive,

After she showed me that bruise.

After she told me about him ripping her underwear.

After she told me what he'd called her.

After that we were in sync, as it was with us.

After the Green Knight picks up his own severed head.

After you told him you found him terribly attractive

Against his leadership.

Aggressive consensual sex.

Ah, hey.

Air is crucial.

Alec died.

Alec,

Ali, I had no choice.

ALISON JESSOP

All consensual and not in dispute.

All I meant to say, Miss Woodcroft,

All I've done this morning is boil an egg and wash my face.

All of those end of year parties…

All of your stories

All the Bolly, now pour it away!

All the Bolly, now pour it away! All the Bolly, now pour it away!

All the Bolly, now pour it away! All the Bolly, now pour it away!

Already?

Although a philanderer too, no doubt. He's a married man.

Always.

Am I looking at him?

Am I to understand

An act of passion,

An administrator from Oxford went to the police and claimed

An allegation of ****.

An allegation of what?

An athlete.

An attraction…

Anal what?

And "A bank error in your favour, collect £200." Excellent.

And a very forgiving person.

And a young woman named Olivia Lytton.

And A, because I'm taking the children

And again, we know what the words mean in literal terms,

And apparently, we've got a proper cunt,

And as I have said from the beginning, my case is a very simple one.

And c, A does not reasonably believe that B consents.

And charged off in the other direction.

And confidant of the prime minister,

And don't stray from the main issue.

And Emily's started biting her cuticles again.

And for the record, I have also replayed other moments from my past,

And for the sake of the timeline, when was Miss Lytton's birthday?

And for what? She's upset over a fling.

And fucking her in a Westminster lift before elevenses?

And has therefore been stripped of his ministry.

And have sex with him?

And he gives you what might be called a love bite above your left nipple.

And he has my full support.

And he has to choose between loyalty or courtesy.

And he held the door open with his hand and waited for you to enter?

And he ignored you."

And he just kept going?

And he ushered me inside.

And he would say he needed to go home to see his family.

And he's a minister.

And help me fix it.

And how did she respond?

And how did the staff feel about Mr Whitehouse?

And how the House of Commons needs to be a safe space, blah blah,

And I can't do it, James.

And I collided with a woman in the cloisters who looked familiar.

And I don't know who the fuck I am,

And I don't like it.

And I have never had sex that was not 100% consensual.

And I love you for that.

And I love you for that.

And I relied on her for her incisive mind.

And I sat on the beach and remembered that I knew how to read.

And I take the safety of my constituents personally.

And I think you told us

And I thought of all the people in the world, she would put me right.

And I want to thank them for standing by me unequivocally.

And I was planning on an early morning workout, so I went back.

And I was…

And I wonder, Miss Woodcroft…

And I'm sorry to say, I didn't need any convincing.

And if his dear chum, Mr Whitehouse,

And ill equipped to fund science wings.

And in doing so, he proves his commitment to the code of chivalry."

And in every fibre of my being,

And in theory, the EU could come to trade agreements,

And is that your signature at the bottom?

And It became pretty clear, pretty quickly, that was going to happen.

And it was…

And just to be clear, what did you think might resume?

And look, I'm just trying to be honest with myself.

And look… [chuckles]

And my esteemed constituents.

And no as soon as Mr Whitehouse became violent.

And no, for the record, I ****d exactly no one.

And now, all of a sudden, he's choosing to remain silent.

And occasionally compelling.

And of course, we… we know what the words mean, obviously,

And Olivia worked for him.

And on the 12th of October, a week after their affair had finished,

And once again, anyone, press included,

And proceeded to have sex with her?

And say that I know in my heart, in my soul,

And studied public policy as a postgrad.

And successful at everything that he tried.

And that I remove the Whip from an accused rapist.

And that is what the jury needs to see.

And that is why you had to force yourself on her.

And that might have been that.

And that my colleagues, especially James, weren't aware.

And that's why she's accused you of ****.

And the little green man flashed for a mere five seconds.

And the night of Alec's accident.

And the underwear with the ripped elastic,

And then convulsive crying.

And then had full sexual intercourse on his desk.

And then he called the lift and you entered, without question.

And then one crucial, glaring, irreconcilable difference.

And then this latest thing, James, has become a tipping point.

And then what happened?

And then what happened?

And then when you show her you want her,

And then you immediately collide and kiss?

And then your hand is on her bottom?

And there's no need to offer my resignation?

And they don't bother to contact me, because I'm just a schoolteacher

And this is part of a pattern of reckless sex in the workplace.

And three, at the point of penetration

And to tell you the truth, I won't mind missing today's evidence

And to that, I say bravo.

And took a degree in political science.

And tried to push him away,

And until he was charged with this offence, a government minister.

And we are agreed that the first of April is suitable.

And we're going to take things slowly.

And what about a duck caught having an affair

And what about the laddered tights?

And what am I, good man?

And what are his bail conditions, Miss Woodcroft?

And what did you do?

And what did you say?

And what happened then?

And what is that to the left of it?

And what is the thing about Whitehouses?

And what was he saying about Olivia?

And what's he gonna say to the press?

And why is it a foul word?

And why was that?

And why was that?

And wrenching your shirt to get into your bra.

And yes, I did give her a special gift for her birthday.

And yet you told her, "Don't be such a prick tease."

And yet, Mr Whitehouse, within a minute or so,

And yet, you are a modern man.

And yet?

And you can state to a certainty

And you play with it through elisions, omissions, and half truths.

And you usually shy away from the high profile ones.

And you, for that matter.

And you, James Whitehouse,

And you'd be in handcuffs by now.

And young?

And, as you say, bruised your nipple,

And, two days before that, in the BBC recording studio,

And, uh…

And, yes, I have reflected.

Angela scored some points.

Another woman's been ****d, another woman deserves her day in court.

Anyone could have called the lift and found us there.

Anyone could have walked in, couldn't they?

Anything else?

Anything sweet. Just a nibble.

Anything.

Anything. Sure.

Anyway, I like her.

Anyway, she thinks that James Whitehouse looks like a rapist.

Anywhere at all?

Apologies for bailing on Mark's birthday.

Apparently not.

Are these teeth marks, Miss Lytton?

Are you a family man, Mr Whitehouse?

Are you certain of this, Mr Whitehouse?

Are you coming?

Are you fine?

Are you hungry?

Are you leaving, Holly?

Are you sure Miss Lytton was consenting to intercourse?

Are you sure there's nothing I can do?

Are you sure, Krystyna?

Are you talking about Whitehouse?

Are you to conduct your own research.

Aren't you due in court today?

As always.

As I re examine my past encounters,

As I replay what happened in that lift,

As I sometimes say to my children,

As I try to repair the damage done to my beloved family

As I've already told you a thousand times, only Olivia.

As is the secret you kept from me.

As long as it's not ****.

As long as she follows your lead.

As long as you know what you're doing.

As my learned friend would have it.

As someone who finds the notion of friendship foreign,

As told to her, about the ways in which you kissed, sucked,

Aside from what happened to you.

Ask Daddy about it. Go, go. I'll call you when it's pizza.

Asking myself could I have possibly got it wrong?

At least, our sex is great. It's never been a problem for us.

At Oxford, you fancied him.

At the beginning of this trial,

At uni.

B, B does not consent to this penetration,

B, how do you know?

Back to the question,

Based on what?

Because I always define myself through you.

Because I always thought I alone got the real thing from you.

Because I do so appreciate your talent.

Because I expressly said it wasn't relevant.

Because I need to see your lying face.

Because I was in love with him.

Because if I do, who will our children become?

Because it meant things might resume.

Because it sounds like something you would say.

Because last time I checked, a man accused is not a man convicted.

Because sometimes, I think it was just easier to acquiesce.

Because that is something you would never say?

Because that word in that sentence

Because the behaviour of entitled toffs

Because until an allegation is proved

Because we have the utmost faith that the jury will see the truth.

Because when we talk about consent,

Because you did not want him to stop, did you?

Because you disapproved of her relationship with her boss?

Because you know, James, the distinct parallels

Because you only ever said "yes" to Mr Whitehouse.

Because you'd been called arrogant by The Times?

Because you're so damn good at it.

Because you're trying to send my husband to prison?

Before she reported that her boss, James Whitehouse, had ****d her.

Before you stands a man who made a mistake.

Believe me, Angela, the last thing I want

Believe me, if the best idea came from the most junior member of staff,

Believe me, your absence was not lost on anyone.

Besides which, he's the most naturally gifted politician

Besides, sex doesn't have to kill a career these days.

Better to do it before he does.

Between the way you do those things to me were less than fun to hear.

Beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law,

Bites of passion, to bruise.

Bizarre because it never happened, Tom. It's fiction.

Black is black and white is white, and never the twain shall meet.

Bloody hell, they're fast.

Both of you.

Both.

Bravely volunteers to accept the Green Knight's challenge,

Brought up to believe he can take whatever he wants.

Brutish?

But also not joking.

But also somehow seeking reassurance.

But an affair is not a crime.

But anyway, it got me a job.

But don't for a second assume I am unaware

But even if she did say it,

But Grey Shirt Guy is definitely on our side.

But he doesn't abandon his old friends,

But hearing about the trial,

But how can a person here know

But I didn't say it. It's a foul word.

But I fear it won't be good.

But I fear it won't be good.

But I got my life back.

But I got my life back.

But I have spent my entire career in service

But I have the Commons to answer to.

But I need to work.

But I still managed to get a degree from one of the best universities.

But I think so.

But I want you to be impervious to whatever you've read or heard.

But I want you to know it's not true.

But I was raised to stand by a mate when he's down.

But I went after you, remember?

But I… I did want to know what he wanted, and if he missed me.

But I'm gonna have to see how I feel in three months' time.

But I'm only halfway through the book. [chuckles]

But I'm sure this one has learned his lesson.

But if I don't get some order in my thoughts,

But if it comes to it, rest assured, I will do what needs to be done.

But if she did know, she'd have already told James

But if you'd feel more comfortable elsewhere, then I'd happily have a chat

But in order for a working environment to thrive, people need to feel safe,

But it is impossibly complex and literally life and death.

But it seems we are both dealing with nonsense.

But it's a school day.

But it's bringing it all back.

But it's like you're being mean to yourself,

But it's too late now.

But Kate Woodcroft was off her fucking game.

But no, I would never do that to you. Have fun.

But no, your boyfriend got dealt all the best cards,

But now I forget the specifics.

But occasionally I do imagine the unfortunate accident

But on the other hand, it's sort of like, "Yes, thank you."

But once we started, it was difficult for us to stop.

But one leading backbencher tells me they're nearly there.

But only weeks away from your graduation. I remember the sense of urgency.

But our power imbalance is in the past.

But people believe it's true.

But shame, anger, humiliation

But she doesn't gain any advantage by doing this, does she?

But show me an old bird who could manage that.

But so did he.

But that won't be possible tomorrow.

But that's not going to work, is it?

But the past informs the present, doesn't it?

But the witness…

But there are some points we need to check.

But there was a charge there from the beginning.

But they'll be looking to her.

But this wasn't the first time you'd had sex with Mr Whitehouse

But to put yourself through this…

But we will, because we're Whitehouses.

But what did you mean when you said "not here"?

But what does the word mean?

But what was your purpose in saying them?

But what, Mr Whitehouse?

But what?

But you and Holly were very close.

But you did get the real thing.

But you didn't actually say the word "no" did you?

But you just told this jury you didn't say "no."

But you must not let preconceived ideas or conjecture

But you were late for her, weren't you?

But you were so enthusiastic about the auction.

But you will get through this.

But you'd had sex in the workplace

But you're a shit liar. You always have been.

But you've just told us it was exactly like that between the two of you.

But your office seemed to have lost track of you.

But, Miss Woodcroft, I can look you in the eye

But, point of clarification,

But, Sophie, why? We've been in hell, but we've come through that.

But, uh…

But, um…

But… [sighing]

But… but then things changed when he got forceful.

But… little things add up, don't they?

By a journalist he knew and rated, a contemporary from Oxford.

By May, the two of them had embarked on an affair.

By two individuals caught up in the moment?

Bye.

Bypassing Angela even?

Called to see if you fancied a drink.

Calling me entitled, essentially.

Can I get you a cab?

Can I get you something?

Can I have a turn?

Can I help you?

Can I make it clear at this stage

Can I take you back to the 12th of October?

Can we get you anything?

Can you come home with me?

Can you confirm that is what you said to the police?

Can you describe the kiss?

Can you describe what happened next?

Can you give your full name to the court, please?

Can you please go to page four, paragraph two.

Can you return to the dock, please, Mr Whitehouse?

Can you say how it came to be damaged?

Can you stand here and swear to me

Can you swear in the witness?

Can you swear in the witness?

Can you walk?

Careers hang in the balance in cases like this.

Carrying the burden alone.

Cases.

Certainly not before I've given your client a good kicking.

Chambers.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Chocolate?

Chomping at the bit.

Chris Clarke?

Chris Clarke's on his way over.

Chris says the case against you is pitifully weak.

Chris thinks they're gonna start digging into the past.

Chris, perhaps this is confusing for you,

Christ.

Collegial.

Collided with a woman who looked "barely familiar"…

Collided?

Come on then.

Come on, James!

Come on, man, open it.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Please?

Come on. Quick, quick.

Come to bed.

Coming!

Confident.

Confirming I'm gonna keep a low profile.

Consensual sex.

Consent.

Consent.

Consideration of the measure will proceed

Could have walked in?

Could so misread and misrepresent what happened in that lift,

Could the Prime Minister clarify for the electorate

Could you just tell us a bit about

Could you please confirm, Miss Lytton, that this is the statement that you made

Could you state your name, please?

Could you tell us when Mr Whitehouse broke off the relationship?

Could you…

Counsel have discussed the date

Course correction, perhaps,

Criminal behaviour, I know. [chuckles]

Cruel?

Daddy?

Daddy's got a surprise for you.

Dangerous.

Deflect and dismiss, but never deny. Got it?

Demonstrates you knew full well she didn't want to have sex with you.

Denials have a way of coming back to bite you on the arse.

Destroying my career was perhaps her goal.

Detective Sergeant Willis.

Did he respond when you asked him to wait?

Did he say anything else?

Did he say anything?

Did he succeed?

Did he wait for a response?

Did James Whitehouse commit **** or make love?

Did Mr Whitehouse have any particular role in that meeting?

Did Mr Whitehouse reasonably believe that Miss Lytton was consenting?

Did she describe the events in the lift to you?

Did she go to Liverpool?

Did she or he call the lift?

Did she or he enter the lift first?

Did she or he initiate the kiss?

Did the whole office know?

Did you approach her?

Did you approve of your friend,

Did you discuss, once she'd regained her composure,

Did you do it?

Did you enjoy your work?

Did you ever know Holly Berry?

Did you finish the whatsit?

Did you give her gifts?

Did you go to Oxford?

Did you hear her say that?

Did you meet Mr Whitehouse in the recording studio

Did you **** Holly?

Did you say it?

Did you say it?

Did you say that?

Did you say, "Don't be such a prick tease"?

Did you socialise together?

Did your views on infidelity

Didn't question little things when I should have,

Distressed.

Do I go to the judge?

Do I have that right?

Do I have to defend myself against your nightmares as well now?

Do I know you?

Do I know you?

Do you agree with Sophie's analysis?

Do you ever think about the population of the woodwork?

Do you fancy a drink, Olivia?

Do you find the defendant, James Whitehouse,

Do you have a moment?

Do you have any idea where she is?

Do you know of any reason why Miss Lytton

Do you know what finally gave you away?

Do you know what vamp means, other than in terms of music?

Do you know what? I, um…

Do you know why?

Do you need to ask?

Do you remember the exact date?

Do you see the section which reads,

Do you see the word "no"

Do you still expect me to do your homework for you,

Do you still love me?

Do you think there's anything there?

Do you want to have a little chat about it?

Do you?

Do you?

Do you?

Dodged another bullet, didn't he?

Does anyone have chocolate?

Does either party have any difficulties with the date?

Does indeed continue to enjoy the Prime Minister's full confidence,

Does she always stay this late on a weekday?

Does she have a last name?

Does that make us complicit?

Does the prime minister still have confidence in your husband?

Doesn't bring down his government, you stupid cunt.

Don't answer the door if it's a reporter.

Don't be ridiculous.

Don't be ridiculous. Come in.

Don't be smug, Sophie. You owe me more than that for God's sake.

Don't be such a prick tease.

Don't be such a prick tease.

Don't follow my example.

Don't get sharp.

Don't let her catch you off guard,

Don't let Whitehouse's fucking fuck up bring you down.

Don't look so serious.

Don't take this the wrong way,

Don't underestimate her,

Don't work too hard.

Don't you ever wonder?

Don't you remember her?

Drive. Hurry, please.

Ease up. One last blowout, old chap.

Em wants to watch Daddy call that lady a liar.

Enjoy your tea. Hmm?

Entitles you to ****?

Especially in the fishbowl of politics.

Especially not his closest, and you're one of those.

Esteemed colleagues,

Even as a very little boy, he was like that.

Even though I told him 'not here'"?

Even though the meeting was starting in just a few minutes?

Even when your shirt is open, you just say "not here."

Everyone was partying that week, even Holly was there.

Everything's going to be okay.

Exactly who they were born to become.

Excellent.

Except he was upset.

Except it wasn't.

Exciting.

Excuse me, would you hold that thought?

Excuse me?

Feels endless.

Felicity?

Fine.

Finn's back to wetting the bed,

Finn's just doing his reading. We've got one more sentence.

First it's an affair, then a ****. What's next, cannibalism?

First of all, show me an old bird, Mrs Murray.

Five months?

Five months.

Foolish and so ashamed, honestly.

For fuck's sake, live a little, Woodcroft.

For fuck's sake, Tom.

For her own set of surely complicated reasons,

For lying about you, for trying to destroy you.

For Miss Lytton's lies.

For now.

For recognising my innocence.

For taking such good care of the children.

For the greater good.

For the life of me, it's a mystery how it even start

For the office romance?

For the record, I have replayed the events with Miss Lytton in the lift

For the sake of the court recording, Miss Lytton is nodding.

For the way I've always let you curate the truth.

For the zillionth time, I can't remember.

For what?

For what? You're speaking in riddles.

For whatever it's worth.

For whatever reason, somebody is lying.

For which I'm already on trial, on behalf of someone else.

For which you have great sympathy,

For your careful deliberations in this matter.

Forever.

Forgive me, it just sounds like it's well made.

Forgiveness and understanding must be earned,

Forgiving.

Form and content.

Former minister.

Four hours?

From "yes"

From Slough.

From the friend reinforcing Olivia's words,

Fuck yes.

Fuck you very much, Chris.

Fuck, first time?

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck. Fuck.

Fuck. Fuck.

Fuck's sake.

Fucker!

Fucking… Sorry. Sorry.

G&T, please, Sam.

Gawain's a womaniser,

Given that his dear friend

Giving up my career.

Glad to hear luck went your way in the Butler trial.

God knows these knobheads are capable.

God, such deliberation.

God.

Gone are the days when a shag would be a mark in the Whip's black book.

Gone because Holly Berry is Kate Woodcroft?

Gone?

Good night.

Good.

Good. Good.

Great idea.

Greenaway, at university.

Grey shirt guys always vote to convict.

Guilty or not guilty

Guilty or not guilty?

Had accused you of ****?

Had sex with his female aide in a lift in the Commons."

Had she told you about the affair prior to this?

Had you ever had an affair with a colleague before, Mr Whitehouse?

Half past.

Halfway "to the lighthouse" as it were.

Has anyone ever said no to you, Mr Whitehouse?

Has been arrested for soliciting young male prostitutes for sex.

Has everyone seen those Libertine pics of him with the PM?

Has made you all the more determined to keep your own family together.

Has the jury reached a verdict on which you are all agreed?

Have a glorious weekend.

Have been privately discussing pursuing a vote of no confidence

Have fun.

Have I got that right?

Have nothing to do with each other!

Have we met before?

Having sex in a lift with your ex mistress.

He

He

He asked you?

He assaulted me,

He assaulted me.

He called her a prick tease.

He can sell anything to the public.

He can't be seen with me right now.

He grabbed one of my

He had a heavy workload,

He held it and waited for you to go inside.

He is a member of Parliament,

He is married with two young children.

He just doesn't know that he knows. [chuckles]

He just shoved it inside me, even though I didn't want it.

He knew it, mind you.

He knows.

He needs to be "former" best mate, "former" inner circle,

He promised he would leave the constituency on time for once, but…

He ****d her

He ****d her

He repeated the word.

He said

He said it was consensual.

He says I have a discerning palate.

He says this Kate Woodcroft is relentless.

He started wrenching at the top buttons of my shirt

He told me he was gonna speak with you.

He tugged at my skirt, so it rode over my bottom and up round my waist.

He was always so happy and handsome

He was my boss, and we were at work. I followed his lead.

He was upset about the article. How could you tell?

He whispered…

He would be admonishing her for not wanting sex?

He wrenched it. It was forceful.

He… he seemed vulnerable for once.

He'd never touched me. No.

He's a good man.

He's a man.

He's a rapist.

He's asleep. He's…

He's bringing me back into the Home Office.

He's coming here? Now?

He's moved to number one.

He's not a brute.

He's the god of beauty and desire.

Heads are idiots.

Hearts are much smarter than heads.

Hello, you. Hey.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello.

Hello. Hi.

Her ears are bionic.

Her husband is a rapist, and she knows it.

Her Majesty's government is about to implode.

Her mother said she'd moved to Australia and they'd lost touch.

Heroin?

Hey.

Hey.

Hi, Daddy.

Hi, hi, hi.

His father and I have always made that quite clear to him,

His word, as a QC.

History. Nothing more complicated.

Hmm. Sounding a little less than impartial there, lovely.

Hmm. Was it?

Holly Berry?

Holly Berry.

Holly Berry.

Holly Berry.

Holly Berry.

Holly Berry…

Holly, James Whitehouse is taken.

Holly.

Holly.

Holly. [chuckles]

Honestly, Soph, you didn't seem that interested in the full set of facts.

Hotel rooms?

Hours after a rumoured motion of no confidence

How about giving your employer some privacy for once?

How about Sunday?

How about that he's innocent. Would that count for anything?

How are we, chaps?

How are you doing, dear?

How can you be so sure she initiated the kiss?

How close would you say you were, exactly?

How could you tell all that?

How could you tell?

How dare you?

How dare you.

How did you intend for her to interpret that?

How do you account for the bruise on Miss Lytton's breast?

How do you know?

How do you look him in the eye every day?

How do you plead?

How long did he carry on touching your arm?

How lucky he is to have you.

How many more are there gonna be? This is never gonna fucking end, is it?

How quickly did things change, Miss Lytton?

How so?

How to lie.

How was he?

How was Mum and Dad?

How would you describe the culture within the office?

How wrong I was.

Huh. Well, I doubt his tears were anything to do with me.

I always think when someone's that handsome, look out.

I always thought that our marriage was, um…

I am grateful for one thing.

I am here to put the Crown's case.

I am innocent.

I am Miss Woodcroft, and I appear on behalf of the prosecution.

I am not a rapist!

I am not my mother.

I am so, so sorry.

I am sorry if it didn't

I am terrified.

I am, my darlings.

I am.

I answered that question in court.

I apologise, My Lord. Perhaps the point is better put this way.

I appear to have hit a nerve.

I appreciate it.

I assumed she was leading me somewhere where we could discuss how to handle it.

I attended good schools,

I beg your pardon?

I believe that completes the housekeeping?

I beseech you, Prime Minister,

I broke it off two weeks ago, right after the party conference.

I can and I do.

I can barely remember what happened last week.

I can rule out the possibility of assaulting her.

I can think of at least three government blokes accused of similar things

I can.

I can't deal with this shit.

I can't deal with this shit.

I can't kill Kate and can't deny Holly. I'm fully fucked.

I can't sleep either.

I can't sleep.

I can't speak for her.

I can't stay.

I chose you because you're unavailable.

I control your message, not your fucking party.

I could go to prison.

I couldn't process the words coming out of his mouth.

I couldn't stay that. How would it look?

I did not **** her!

I did not.

I did something terrible. Unethical.

I did.

I didn't do anything wrong.

I didn't do what I'm accused of.

I didn't enter the lift thinking that was going to happen.

I didn't force myself on her.

I didn't know about this thing called anaphylactic shock.

I didn't know that about you.

I didn't know what was happening, but I… I It was like I left my own body.

I didn't mean to imply that you weren't a serious student.

I didn't quit.

I didn't quit.

I didn't **** her.

I didn't rip her underwear.

I didn't stand a chance.

I didn't think it was fair.

I didn't want it to end…

I didn't want to wake you.

I didn't.

I do admire people with that sort of restraint.

I do believe you,

I do hate waste.

I don't care how high profile he is.

I don't care who he is.

I don't even know Holly.

I don't know how you do it, miss.

I don't know if I can bear it. And what use would I be anyway?

I don't know who the fuck you are anymore.

I don't know why she said that. I don't even know if it's true.

I don't know why that's relevant.

I don't know why, but I said…

I don't know, but I was scared.

I don't know.

I don't know. Perhaps.

I don't remember the sound of a rip.

I don't think it's in dispute that you went to Cambridge University

I don't think that's what you want to do at all.

I don't understand marshmallows.

I don't understand.

I don't wanna hide anything from you.

I don't wanna know.

I don't want her to feel like a pawn. I'd never forgive myself.

I don't want to go to school.

I don't want your guesses. Why didn't you see this coming?

I doubt he's ever had a woman talk to him that way.

I enjoyed your use of "privileged" and 'liberties"

I expect she'll be dubbed "the ravishing researcher."

I feel

I feel like I can trust you with anything.

I follow your instructions, Kate, always.

I followed her in.

I gave Alec the drugs. I told him to jump.

I genuinely wanted her opinion on the article.

I get so angry in the middle of the night when I think of that girl's vicious lies.

I got it in exchange for two beers.

I got through it, at least.

I got Tom out of there because, well

I guess I'm finally both.

I guess she's always been that too.

I had a dream last night about Holly.

I had never intended to have an affair with Miss Lytton,

I had no idea at the time.

I had some line edits,

I had to make the relationship sound real. It was purely strategic.

I hate Christmas.

I hate her.

I have been simultaneously over and underestimated my entire life.

I have never been more certain of anything.

I have no further questions for this witness.

I have not.

I have this image of us dancing.

I have.

I haven't a clue.

I haven't even told you a fraction of it.

I haven't gone in months. Haven't you noticed?

I haven't got another.

I haven't met many virgins.

I heard voices.

I heard your answer in court. I'm asking you here, now.

I hereby christen our lovely new pooch…

I hesitate to interrupt you, Miss Lytton, but could you look at Photograph B?

I hope it goes without saying.

I hope you don't mind me saying what I've always suspected.

I invented three separate excuses in less than 30 seconds on your behalf.

I just don't know where she is.

I just had a visit from Chris.

I just have a few more points to clarify.

I just left out one small detail.

I just needed to hear a familiar voice.

I just remember a lot of "bloody Narnia"s" and "fuck Narnia," and

I just want to thank the women and men of the jury for seeing the truth.

I know I said I'd have the Woolf notes,

I know it's been It's been a while.

I know my husband.

I know that sounds silly.

I know you don't give a fuck,

I know you'll not make the mistake of thinking

I know.

I know.

I know. Time's gone blurry, hasn't it?

I know. You came for my sparkling company.

I left it at once.

I let things slide. I…

I lied for you.

I like a woman who likes her whiskey.

I like the pomp.

I like to think so.

I like working for you

I literally did not understand what I was being told.

I love her. Got it?

I love my wife, I love my family.

I love the clear goal, and I quite love the number 10,000,

I love you, Soph.

I love you.

I made a call today

I made a mistake.

I made a mistake.

I made sure it didn't affect my work

I make a statement expressing deep concern,

I make it all the time.

I may leave her one day.

I mean it.

I mean today, in the House. And she's not half his age.

I mean, I think they decided that pedestrian crossings

I mean, it's not brilliant, but could be worse.

I mean… [sighing]

I might go down.

I might have been with her.

I more or less cut ties.

I must dispute her objections to this amendment.

I need a drink, Brian, but I'd settle for a towel, thank you.

I need to ask her something.

I need to stop doing that.

I need to work.

I never questioned what you told me.

I owe you forever.

I owe you Parliamentary Questions in the morning.

I practically lived in Narnia while I did my dissertation.

I prosecuted someone I knew in another life.

I put my arms around her in an embrace.

I realised I'd forgotten my gym bag at the office,

I remain convinced, and adamantly so,

I remember being struck by it.

I remember the young Kate. You never wanted kids.

I remember what you were wearing too.

I remember.

I repeated the question.

I s said that some

I said that about arrogance.

I said that Miss Lytton's journey in the lift was one from yes to no.

I said that sometimes arrogance can be terribly attractive.

I said, "I probably shouldn't, but…

I said, "I think you're ruthless when you need to be."

I said, "not here," meaning "no, not here."

I said, "You do realise what he's done, don't you?"

I said, fuck off!

I said…

I saved you.

I saw a woman and I thought, "My God, that's Holly."

I saw the note come in.

I say this as one who has affection for James.

I see what you're doing.

I see what you're doing.

I see.

I sent her flowers on occasion.

I should go.

I should have found another…

I spot a trio of Libertines over there.

I stay here.

I stood on the kerb, and I counted.

I suggested she go to the police.

I suppose I didn't love it like you love your job,

I suppose it has been quite a while.

I suspect you do.

I swear by Almighty God that the evidence I shall give

I swear by almighty God that the evidence I shall give

I swear it.

I swear.

I take it this is the "quite high profile" case

I thank you for the message.

I think he would have gone for you.

I think I yelped in shock, uh, a and I tried to push him away.

I think I've fucked up, big time.

I think it's a possibility.

I think it's cracking.

I think it's possible Olivia asked you to stop.

I think so.

I think that's a wonderful idea.

I think things get more interesting

I think we both tried to resist it,

I think you're revising history a little bit.

I thought I saw her today.

I thought it was a mistake.

I thought we were clear all those years ago.

I told her to go to the police because he ****d her,

I told the core truth,

I told you about that night at the Libertine's party.

I told you to stay out of the study. Don't be a snoop.

I took a photo of it.

I tried to help, but things were pretty heated by that point.

I tried to tell her she was wrong.

I turned a blind eye all these years

I understand that old bird isn't giving up.

I vote for the former.

I want to be a civil engineer.

I want to watch Daddy call that lady a liar.

I want you to know that,

I wanted to know if he still had feelings for me.

I wanted to thank you.

I was a parliamentary researcher.

I was about to ask the same of you.

I was brought up to control my emotions. I've suddenly lost all my skills.

I was conceived on Christmas Eve.

I was doing my job.

I was flattered.

I was focusing on not letting him see my lip move.

I was frustrated with the preschool division.

I was gobsmacked.

I was planning to introduce the amendment to the immigration bill.

I was protecting you.

I was running back to your room,

I was utterly invested in children's literature.

I was very sexually robust in my youth,

I was weak.

I was weak.

I was your alibi the next morning

I was your pupil master once upon a time.

I was… I was just rushing to collect my bag.

I wasn't sure, to be honest. I…

I will give up all this.

I will miss them when I go back to Podolsk.

I will not be the long suffering spouse.

I will not live my mother's life.

I will stand up right now and tell this room full of MPs that I resign.

I wish I had a time machine.

I wish she hadn't been on your payroll.

I wonder if the Prime Minister fears postponement of its consideration

I would also contribute writing to briefings and press releases.

I would give them chapter and verse on the ways in which one cannot do that.

I would have had you over tonight, but Felicity decided to stay in town.

I would like to have a number in mind.

I would've gone a bit slower.

I wouldn't use the word "arrogant."

I… I think she kept hoping she could will away the fact that it happened.

I… I told you, he hurt me.

I… I'm not your job. [chuckling]

I'd adopt it.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed.

I'd been for a drink with friends earlier from the office.

I'd call it navy.

I'd call it night.

I'd call it night.

I'd do it happily.

I'd like to go over this again.

I'd like to propose a toast.

I'd like to take you back to what happened

I'd love to know the brand.

I'd love to, but I got pulled into something.

I'll be back.

I'll be back.

I'll be back.

I'll be ready.

I'll call you back.

I'll support you.

I'm a grateful man.

I'm a grateful man.

I'm a Libertine.

I'm a married man.

I'm already sipping a Scotch, you'll be happy to hear.

I'm Angela Regan.

I'm begging you.

I'm fine.

I'm giving evidence tomorrow.

I'm going to bed.

I'm going to marry that boy one day.

I'm going to start with what they agreed on.

I'm guessing we should focus on the usual suspects.

I'm here.

I'm honoured to have the immigration portfolio,

I'm hopeless at languages.

I'm joking, Ellie.

I'm just checking your statement here, your words.

I'm just glad you left.

I'm merely referring to his ability to seduce the electorate.

I'm not a brute.

I'm not a liar, Olivia.

I'm not a man who wrenches blouses open.

I'm not asking you about your past, Mr. Whitehouse,

I'm not busy.

I'm not here to answer your questions, Mr Whitehouse.

I'm not in the mood for a crowd.

I'm not in touch with anyone from Oxford.

I'm not interested.

I'm not leaving you here.

I'm not open to it now.

I'm not saying it was you. I believe you.

I'm not sure I should take this one.

I'm not sure I'd call it luck.

I'm not sure.

I'm objecting to the lingo, not the concept.

I'm quite serious. Go and have a life.

I'm really interested in infrastructure.

I'm so sorry for showing up like this at this hour.

I'm so sorry for the way I spoke to you earlier.

I'm so sorry, Soph.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

I'm someone who finds unethical behaviour repugnant.

I'm sorry about that. [chuckles]

I'm sorry I don't understand.

I'm sorry I left.

I'm sorry to have disturbed you.

I'm sorry, but I can't let it go.

I'm sorry, Minister.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I had to ask.

I'm still in love with you.

I'm still married.

I'm sure I could get hired somewhere.

I'm telling you, no words were exchanged.

I'm tired.

I'm too dizzy.

I'm trying to be honest with you.

I'm trying to find someone.

I'm trying to help your husband.

I'm your comms director, not your Whip.

I'm… I'm gonna keep this really brief.

I've already told you that I did not say that.

I've avoided it.

I've been a part of it too, complicit, and I hate myself for it.

I've been so stressed out at work these past many months.

I've fucked up, big time.

I've got a cab outside.

I've got to get to practice.

I've heard those posh uni parties went to extremes back in the day.

I've learned a lot, actually.

I've told you everything now.

I've witnessed every kind of weather

If a man said it, but this man did not.

If a Member of Parliament said they were having a relationship with an employee,

If a, he intentionally penetrates the vagina, anus or mouth

If he missed us.

If he outs you, he outs himself. That's mutually assured destruction.

If I can ask you to cast your mind back a fortnight before this incident.

If I can.

If I have learned anything in my 44 years on this Earth, it is this.

If I have traded on the currency that the world told me was mine, well…

If I'd stuck it out, moved on to YA…

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck,

If mere infidelity were enough to ruin a marriage,

If only he were a bit dim, it might seem fair.

If that's what you want.

If the future doesn't include you, Sophie Whitehouse,

If you believe me, you'll be there.

If you don't help me to get there, I don't know what I'm gonna do.

If you don't show up in court,

If you knew it was wrong, why did you continue to allow yourself to be mistaken?

If you tell me to…

If you're calling to tell me he's continuing to stand by me,

If you're going to be nasty, I'm going to bed.

If you're still you,

Immigration is top of both mind and agenda in our cabinet.

Immune.

Impossible to tell one from the other at this vantage point, surely.

In a heartbeat.

In a lift

In a lift in the House of Commons on the morning of the 12th of October.

In black and white.

In black and white.

In every fucking county willing to give me a heads up.

In fact, it might be taken to communicate "yes,"

In horrifying detail.

In light of which, Madam Speaker,

In March.

In order to tell me about a hearsay assault from decades ago

In Prime Minister Tom Southern's government,

In that case, how do you reconcile your affair with Miss Lytton?

In that part of your statement?

In the broom cupboard?

In the committee room corridor on the morning of the 12th of October.

In the House of Commons, was it?

In the Lloyd George Room, no doubt having read the article, he said…

In the meantime, you have to rally the troops.

In the opposite direction of the meeting you were due to attend,

In the Palace of Westminster.

In the same sentence.

In the street.

In the three and a half decades I've been here.

In this case, it is the Crown's simple contention

In this location.

In Wiltshire.

In years to come, we'll be able to say

In your position as parliamentary researcher

In… in your office.

Including a spot as an Oxford Blue.

Inexcusable.

Influence you at any time.

Insisting on changing the rules.

Insubstantial.

Into James Whitehouse's Oxford years with any of the case officers, did you?

Into ****.

Intriguing. I'll take a look.

Irrevocably flawed, two separate things.

Is a wet turd on the floor of the Palace of Westminster.

Is about to stand trial at the Old Bailey for ****?

Is Angela ready?

Is based on what, exactly?

Is everything okay?

Is facing a charge of ****,

Is for anything to interfere with this trial.

Is he going to go to jail?

Is it a popular route?

Is it inconceivable that Miss Lytton would say no to you?

Is it just me, or does it feel many degrees colder than it is?

Is it only at this stage,

Is it over?

Is it possible she could have said it and you didn't hear her?

Is it the budget impasse?

Is it your evidence that you did not say "don't be such a prick tease,"

Is not only fair weather but spineless.

Is she a bad person?

Is something the public no longer finds cute.

Is that a fair assessment?

Is that a threat?

Is that all it cost you?

Is that all of it?

Is that better?

Is that careers hang in the balance in cases like these.

Is that correct?

Is that Miss Ledger hounded the complainant.

Is that okay?

Is that right, Mr Whitehouse?

Is that what I think it is?

Is the reason you were so keen for your friend to go to the police

Is this because of you?

Is to rebuild trust all around.

Is you should have been in court today…

Isn't that James Whitehouse's wife?

Isn't that right?

Isn't tonight usually your PTA meeting?

Isn't… isn't this a sackable offence?

It both elevates and rubbishes the whole idea of chivalry.

It comes from the Canaanite word for "lord."

It could start to make your loyalty look ill advised.

It does not mean unwilling.

It doesn't require him to lie to me.

It had been going on for about five months.

It is if you've never had to worry about it.

It is not for the defence to supply a motive

It is possible that we were not in sync, and maybe I got it wrong.

It is.

It leaves Mr Whitehouse's proposed amendment to his own immigration bill,

It left a bruise above my left nipple. I…

It left a bruise.

It manages to be tough and humane and apolitical all at once.

It may have snagged when she pulled it down.

It may seem insurmountable to you at the moment,

It means someone who likes to have a good time.

It means we can't survive if we can't breathe.

It meant nothing.

It most certainly matters.

It only remains for me to thank you

It really is no more complicated than that.

It says here Daddy was a Libertine.

It says it can hold six people, but it can't possibly.

It sounds very unlikely, doesn't it?

It took her two whole weeks.

It was a clear indication that Miss Lytton did not want to continue.

It was a consensual relationship,

It was a game we perfected.

It was a sort of crying I hadn't seen since childhood, to be honest.

It was a test, I think.

It was a tragedy, but I lied for Tom.

It was all lost socks and narcoleptic dinosaurs.

It was all quite proper in the office.

It was certainly 100% not ****.

It was just enormous.

It was just my mind…

It was just sex.

It was like he was possessed.

It was like I was no longer there.

It was Olivia.

It was ****.

It was some report about an assault at uni in the '90s.

It was the 5th of October.

It was the most relaxing holiday of my life.

It was the only time I'd ever seen him cry.

It was the worst thing I have ever done.

It was thoughtless.

It was Tom Southern, wasn't it?

It was your evidence only yesterday

It was, as you said, a stupid mistake.

It was.

It wasn't awful, but Kitty Ledger was great.

It wasn't like that.

It wasn't. It was brand new.

It will. It has to.

It would make the public wonder what it's based on, Prime Minister.

It wouldn't have changed anything.

It wouldn't have registered with you. She's not your type.

It'll be over soon.

It's 1:30 in the morning. Where have you been?

It's a bit true.

It's a drinking game the rugby boys like to play.

It's a long way away.

It's a shortcut to the committee room corridor.

It's a sound immigration reform the minister is proposing.

It's a statement, a fact.

It's a very small lift, a little more than a metre wide.

It's a woman who sexually arouses a man and doesn't plan on following through.

It's absurd.

It's almost like you're being rewarded.

It's an eyeball.

It's as thin as a fucking wafer.

It's been a long, long uphill climb,

It's been a long, long uphill climb,

It's bloody hot!

It's demeaning and presumptuous.

It's different now. The road is paved in Me Too land mines.

It's Holly.

It's just that you look so familiar.

It's like a toy for you, the truth.

It's making me wonder if there's something that you're not saying.

It's Molly. No, Polly.

It's my fault.

It's nice that it's not last week. [chuckles]

It's nice to see you.

It's not cheating. I've got a "Get out of jail free" card right here.

It's not going to help her career, is it?

It's not just the physical aspect of the assault, it's…

It's not that.

It's nothing.

It's okay. [scoffing]

It's old fashioned slang for a flirtatious woman, isn't it?

It's Olivia who's haunting me.

It's over, mate.

It's probably nonsense.

It's smack?

It's Sophie Whitehouse.

It's still unclear how close the rebels are

It's subversive.

It's the case. I'm distracted.

It's true I should have gone to the judge.

It's true. You don't even know me, not really.

It's very easily ripped in a moment of passion,

It's what it does to you mentally.

It's worth a lot.

It's you, actually.

It's yummy, Daddy.

James can't make it. There's been some sort of emergency,

James taught the kids how to sail,

James thought it was deeply unfair.

James was due to give evidence on the new immigration targets.

James Whitehouse had an affair.

James Whitehouse, the defendant,

James Whitehouse's famous shepherd's pie.

James Whitehouse's privilege does not extend to ****.

James?

James.

James.

James.

James.

James.

James.

Jesus!

Jesus.

Johnny Public bankrolls your salary as a minister in Her Majesty's government.

Just a bit of rain, dear.

Just as a token.

Just at that moment.

Just get my bearings back, I suppose.

Just go away.

Just got off the phone with Tom.

Just not here

Just now.

Just outside for a bit of fresh air.

Just so you know, James, Mary and Roger are still managing constituent emails

Just tell me.

Just that I valued her.

Just to be clear, who called the lift?

Just wandering the streets in the middle of the night?

Just… instinct.

Justice has prevailed.

Kate Woodcroft.

Kate?

Keep changing.

King Arthur's knight.

Krystyna?

Krystyna?

Late July.

Lays the ground for thousands of migrants

Lead you to hound your friend to go to the police?

Lest we forget, we live in a country where raping your wife

Let's begin at the beginning.

Let's consider what you might take, because it'll be right up the arse.

Let's divide and conquer.

Let's drink it and piss it up the wall.

Let's try it this way.

Liar.

Lie.

Like Benjamin Button.

Like the man said, he made a mistake.

Like what?

Listen to me, you little prick. This isn't a fucking joke, it's my life.

Listen, are you gonna expose me?

Liverpool.

Look at us in our silly costumes.

Look I know it's late, but I really need to speak to you.

Look, I can see how that sounds.

Look, I hate to say it, but he seems to be doing a good job, for a Tory.

Look, I really shouldn't discuss it.

Look, I told you. She's gone.

Look, I wasn't there,

Look, I'll just be distracted until I finish with these papers.

Look, the prince, the princess, and the queen.

Look. I didn't come here for the lecture, so…

Looking fantastic, by the way.

Love bites? Yes, it was something she wanted when we made love.

Love you.

Lovely.

Lytton.

Madam Speaker, there's a notable absence in our chamber today.

Maggie, I need a word.

Making this right with you is all I care about.

Malcolm Thwaites, Labour MP for Penthorpe,

Mark has been roped into some constituency event,

Mark talked me through how it was all going to work,

May I ask

May I ask why

May I remind you that you are still under oath, Miss Lytton.

Maybe don't fuck an underling in a House of Commons lift.

Maybe it's best I'm not there.

Maybe it's the wind.

Maybe.

Members of the jury, I think we know exactly which one of them is lying.

Men were guilty of selfish exuberance.

Merry Christmas, Holly Berry.

Might make a false allegation of **** against you?

Misogynistic.

Miss Lytton claims there came a point when she became unwilling.

Miss Lytton claims you wrenched her blouse open.

Miss Lytton continued to work for James Whitehouse,

Miss Lytton has given you an account of a crime that was committed against her,

Miss Lytton has told us that she was in love with you.

Miss Lytton says you ripped her underwear in the lift.

Miss Lytton says you wrenched her blouse open.

Miss Lytton was giving me every indication

Miss Lytton was his parliamentary researcher.

Miss Lytton, could you point out the bruise?

Miss Lytton, I'll try not to keep you long,

Miss Lytton, I'm afraid you must answer the question.

Miss Lytton's evidence is that she said, "Not here."

Miss Lytton's evidence is that you said,

Miss Lytton's, affair with James Whitehouse?

Miss Regan.

Miss Woodcroft, enough.

Miss Woodcroft, you can continue.

Miss Woodcroft?

Miss Woodcroft.

Miss Woodcroft.

More Bolly!

More champers.

More likely to be second or third year piss.

Most importantly, you are not to discuss the case outside the jury room.

Mostly I was concentrating on my own.

Mouth.

Mr Aitken can rest assured I have no such fear.

Mr Whitehouse has told you a different story.

Mr Whitehouse maintains he never heard "not here."

Mr Whitehouse was preoccupied about a comment piece in The Times

Mr Whitehouse, as his Lordship has said, may look familiar.

Mr Whitehouse, do you need me to repeat the question?

Mr Whitehouse, I want to go straight to the day this incident occurred.

Mr Whitehouse, the jury are here to consider the issue of consent.

Mr Whitehouse, you are free to go.

Mr Whitehouse!

Mrs Whitehouse.

Mrs Whitehouse.

Mrs Whitehouse.

Ms Long Curly Hair in the front row

Ms Lytton, I'm going to ask you some questions

Much better.

Mum.

Must be sending them home.

Must be.

Mwah!

My affair with Miss Lytton was wrong.

My back was against the wall, a and he was in front of me,

My counsel is effective.

My dad taught me.

My darling man, where the fuck are you?

My girls don't have it.

My heart says yes, but my head says no. My future headache that is.

My left breast.

My middle name, plus my ex husband's surname.

My only point, darling,

My pupil. I told you about her.

My solicitor says the cops keep telling her to piss off.

My son

My underwear.

My wife always said, "Once, okay. Twice, go away."

Neither do I.

Never better.

Never happened before?

Never.

Next level stuff, I'd say.

Next to the lift where the assault occurred.

Next to you, Michelangelo just threw paint at the chapel Jackson Pollock style.

Nice to see Sophie here.

Night night.

Nine something.

No one else was qualified, not like me.

No one knows me like you.

No one wants to put words in your mouth

No one's paying you to bang the help in a House of Commons lift.

No reason.

No senior member of government took a shit this morning without your knowledge.

No surprise if you feel a bit wobbly.

No words were spoken?

No, and it makes me worried about her, to be honest.

No, but I was trying to push him off.

No, I Just

No, I did I didn't want it, and I told him I didn't want it.

No, I wasn't.

No, it wasn't normal.

No, James, mostly we were born and raised lucky.

No, no, no. Kate Woodcroft won today.

No, no, no. That won't be necessary.

No, of course not.

No, really. Won't your wife be wondering where you are?

No, the first two times were consensual sex.

No, this won't take long, um…

No, you can't be my lawyer. I've fucked up.

No, you're mistaken.

No!

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. He just kept going.

No. He ripped them.

No. How can you ask me that?

No. I followed her after she called to me and said…

No. I just made it up. [chuckles]

No. I think I'd remember that name.

No. James Whitehouse.

No. My fear.

No. No.

No. No. That's not possible.

No. Nothing happened until a week later.

No. Now?

No. She reached up to kiss me.

No. She said nothing.

No. That would be your case, lovely.

No. Why?

No. You should go.

No. You're not.

None.

Nor under any circumstances

Normally, she was quite blasé about things.

Not bad, Angela.

Not even a disturbance.

Not guilty.

Not guilty.

Not immediately, no.

Not made up.

Not many lawyers could've pulled that one off.

Not only was she consenting,

Not really.

Not reasonably believing that Olivia Lytton consented.

Not that I recall.

Not that there's ever been anything wrong with that part of us.

Not the kind of man who'd…

Not the middle, the end.

Not the word, perhaps, but I was

Not to anyone?

Not when there's such a difference in status and age.

Not with family.

Not with friends,

Not yet, but I am getting an essay from my friend Ned later.

Not…

Not… not lie as much as redirect attention to more favourable facts.

Nothing that wouldn't qualify as "boys will be boys."

Nothing, My Lord.

Nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing.

Now and then my imagination does.

Now aside from what a nasty business that is,

Now it seems to have deserted us, our luck.

Now listen. Be good to that wife of yours.

Now that just tells me you're terrified.

Now that we've regained our sure footing,

Now that would suggest

Now, boys will be boys,

Now, I know that you do have more important things to consider,

Now, I understand both sides have agreed

Now, let's look at what they don't agree on.

Now, that's a buzzword for you. Agency.

Now, this is very important,

Now, we all have prejudices,

Nowhere in particular. I was upset.

Observation.

Obviously.

Obviously.

Of another person, B, with his penis,

Of any legislation in the past 50 years!

Of course I would have, but she didn't say that.

Of course it's not a threat.

Of course not.

Of course not. But in this instance, we were both saying yes.

Of course she didn't mean it.

Of course you should.

Of course you will.

Of course, I'll leave that determination to the jury.

Of course, I'm still me.

Of course.

Of course.

Of course.

Of that I am certain.

Of the personal cost of those transactions.

Of us getting to spend the whole night together.

Off the committee corridor in the heart of the House of Commons.

Oh cheers.

Oh don't be ridiculous. You can certainly tell me.

Oh don't. James.

Oh for fuck's sake.

Oh forgive my manners then.

Oh fuck, I'm so sorry. You should have said.

Oh fuck.

Oh fuck.

Oh fucking hell, Kate.

Oh God, look at you. You're just as lovely without make up.

Oh I feel so stupid, literally staring me in the face.

Oh I love them, Aunt Kate!

Oh I think you do.

Oh I wish I'd known.

Oh I'm so pleased, Ollie.

Oh it's much bigger than Frisk.

Oh my God, are you saying there's more?

Oh my God, I love this song!

Oh my God.

Oh no, we'll go up after that.

Oh nonsense. You're a model wife and mother.

Oh we were. Yes.

Oh you must be joking.

Oh, apologies for my vulgarity, Sophie. I was raised by wolves.

Oh, but 44 is the luckiest number in ancient Egypt.

Oh, don't give it another thought.

Oh, Finn's flavour.

Oh, honestly,

Oh, how unfelicitous.

Oh, I did, almost.

Oh, I thought this place was my little secret.

Oh, it's just the basics really, miss.

Oh, mate. I'm only here because the PM told me to be.

Oh, my friend, you fucked up.

Oh, please don't tell me that you've ever been assaulted.

Oh, she's always been that.

Oh, that's fine, Miss Lytton, just tell us the words he used.

Oh, where the fuck's me pumpkin coach?

Oh, you mean other than having an affair with a subordinate half his age

Oh!

Oh! So sorry. Sorry, sorry.

Oh.

Oh. Speak of the devil.

Oh… [chuckles]

Okay, now you're sounding a bit paranoid.

Okay?

Okay?

Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. I need to have a quick chat with Mummy.

Okay. Is it better?

Olivia Clarissa Lytton.

Olivia loved risky situations. We both did.

Olivia loves policy.

Olivia Lytton made it clear to you

Olivia Lytton?

Olivia Lytton.

Olivia Lytton.

Olivia! He's old and married.

Olivia.

Olivia.

Omertà of the Libertines!

Omertà of the Libertines.

Omertà of the Libertines.

Omertà of the Libertines.

Omertà of the Libertines.

On a girl I don't know and who you haven't even spoken to.

On our side of the Chamber.

On the 29th of October to the police.

On the count of ****?

On the day in question,

On the right honourable leather sofa?

On the roof.

On two occasions within weeks of this incident in the lift.

One moment, honey.

One of them is lying.

One of them is lying.

One way or the other.

One way or the other.

One, did penetration by a penis take place?

Only needed a second per metre.

Only whether or not in this instance

Or am I arguing both sides today?

Or ashamed, or even angry.

Or could you have torn it while you were ripping it off?

Or God forbid, Clarke.

Or had been before her relationship with the minister ended.

Or take any away from you.

Or the CPS, or even Angela.

Or the zillions of women you had sex with that year?

Or was it already torn?

Or was it, as the defence submits,

Or winter?

Or you could get me another drink.

Or your sexually robust youth.

Or… or moved together.

Order!

Order! Order! Order!

Our members are hearing from constituents, not to mention fucking Labour.

Over and over and over again in my head,

Oxford.

Painting me as arrogant,

Passionate.

Patrick and Kitty, the staff in the private office and I,

People are sick in the head, okay?

People of privilege can no more break the law without consequence

People will wonder what he's got on you to earn your support.

Perhaps it is your hearing which is suspect, Miss Woodcroft.

Perhaps it's a male thing, that complete self belief.

Perhaps she felt embarrassed,

Perhaps this might be a good time to adjourn for the day.

Perhaps we shared a mutual friend.

Perhaps?

Perhaps. Just not at that particular moment.

Perhaps…

Pick and choose details

Pizza?

Playing tricks.

Please answer my next question either "yes" or "no."

Please forgive me.

Please leave your name and number. I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Please tell me that puddle I stepped in was cider and not fresher piss.

Please. I am your best mate.

Poisonous.

Politics could always use more poetry.

Politics requires a certain agility in that regard.

Presentation matters.

Pretty much. She knows I'm Holly.

Pretty Polly.

Prioritise your family and constituents,

Prosecuting sexual assault is as urgent as it is frustrating.

Prosecuting your own

Publicly cut ties.

Pulled it out of my bra and began to kiss and bite it quite savagely.

Pulling my clothes off, biting me, and

Pushed?

Put your todger back, man.

Putting on your side of the story.

Quite. So do your fucking job, mate,

****, sir.

****?

Rapist?

Reach out to Tom. Make sure he really is still on side.

Ready?

Really?

Really?

Really?

Really? Is that why you had Tuppence

Really.

Really.

Regarding Prime Minister Tom Southern's future.

Relatively.

Represents the most equitable approach to both skilled and low skilled workers

Respecting the opinion of the honourable member from Morewood and Barnsford,

Rewarded, no. Restored.

Ribena.

Richard, forgive me, but

Right now.

Rubbish. She's lucky to have you.

Run.

Sadly.

Said the accused's barrister.

Same thing.

Say hello to Sophie.

Says so right here.

Scarlet was talking about Daddy going to court today.

Seconds. When he started doing things he'd never done before.

See you tomorrow.

Seriously, doesn't it ever wear you down?

Several places. It's a…

Sex we both wanted.

Shaken and…

Shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Shall I wait?

Shall we have a key made?

Shall we?

She blamed herself for the fact that he ****d her.

She came forward thinking it might be relevant.

She can see that.

She continues to work for you,

She could have told your wife.

She couldn't even speak for a long time.

She didn't.

She doesn't distinguish between days.

She doesn't mean anything to me. It was just sex.

She forgets nothing.

She guided my hand there.

She helped me unbutton it.

She is.

She just has an instinct about him.

She keeps pestering the cops to locate the girl.

She knew I was upset about the article in The Times.

She looked at me in a certain way that we had.

She moved one of my hands down to her bottom.

She must be confused.

She needed a friend and knew I would be discreet.

She needed to admit to herself what had happened

She said it was true. She said she was in love with you.

She started working for him in March of last year.

She told us she did tell you to stop.

She trusts me.

She was a virgin, it turns out.

She was accusing you.

She was insisting.

She was saying, "Hell yes."

She was very reluctant at first.

She went to Oxford?

She wouldn't give you what you wanted,

She wouldn't say the word.

She… she was just there.

She's a she, and she needs a name.

She's a woman, not a horse.

She's champing at the bit, not chomping.

She's direct, doesn't hold back.

She's lying now.

She's lying when she says you ****d her?

She's lying, I'm sorry to say.

She's mistaken.

She's not feeling well, so I have to take over with the kids.

She's so warm.

She's trying to exploit his good nature.

Shit happens, Tuppence.

Should be exempt from hearing it.

Should not have the power to convert consensual sex

Should you talk to the judge or something?

Shouldn't we have called an ambulance?

Shoved it inside me.

Showed disrespect to my marriage,

Simple as that.

Smart decisions and bloody hard work.

Smug? Me?

Snob.

So after the first encounter, the relationship continued.

So bright.

So despite the fact that he'd wrenched open your blouse

So do you have those notes?

So don't be seen with him.

So from this point on, you are instructed

So he acquitted himself well?

So he said, "I can't deal with this shit."

So how did it come up?

So I don't presume to ask for those yet, but I do ask for patience

So I want you to make absolutely sure.

So I was… I was pushed

So I've, more or less, one more hour of peace, quiet, and laundry.

So if she'd said "not here," you'd have heard her?

So if your friend comes to you, upset about her relationship

So in this state of terror, after you'd said "not here"

So it appears that after you end the relationship,

So it is a test.

So just to be absolutely clear,

So let me ask you again, Mr Whitehouse,

So let me get this straight.

So let's look at the evidence.

So many fucking crazy people stuffed in there,

So once in the lift, did you talk?

So she's new?

So sorry. I feel very confused.

So the constituency event is late on Saturday night?

So they were aligned with the world as you preferred it to be.

So today… [scoffing]

So very close?

So we now won't be here.

So we're all fine then?

So what happened? What suddenly made you want to have sex?

So when Miss Lytton tells us

So when you were kissing, were you consenting?

So you are threatening me?

So you can't rule out the possibility that you were with her?

So you enter the lift, she looks at you in a certain way,

So you get into the lift, then what happened?

So you got it fixed then?

So you might have reasonably expected for her to be willing to do this again?

So you want to look for a job, now?

So you were passionately kissing when he put his hand on your bottom.

So you weren't looking for somewhere to have private sex?

So you're next to the lift, talking.

So you've already told us he was touching your breasts and bottom

So your blouse is open

So, James, I repeat,

So…

Some fun on the side with a filly.

Some language I think might help push it through.

Some random woman comes crawling out of the woodwork accusing me of a crime

Someone should set the Sexual Offences Act to music.

Someone's coming out punching. That is very good.

Something I did in the throes

Something she told us herself.

Something terrible happened.

Something that could be prosecuted in court?

Sometimes, I can't believe I spend my life defending these people.

Sometimes, I think I'm partly to blame.

Sometimes, I think sex is the root of all evil. [scoffs]

Soph, as awful as this week has been, and everything I put you through,

Soph, this is two decades ago.

Sophie Whitehouse.

Sophie, I've never seen you like this before.

Sophie, she knows.

Sophie!

Sophie!

Sophie! Do you think he can get away with it?

Sophie?

Sophie.

Sorry I'm late. Did you do the notes?

Sorry, his affect terribly attractive.

Sorry, Miss Lytton?

Sorry! So sorry! Sorry, sorry.

Sorry.

Sorry. After you said you found arrogance terribly attractive,

Sorry. I'm fine.

Sounds like her mind's going down a dirty little path.

Speaking of cheeky buggers,

Speaking of Mr Whitehouse,

Standing by him doesn't mean I have to sit there, lapping it all up.

Stares at him for hours like a starstruck teenager.

Still eating sweets, Mr Creosote?

Still?

Stood by me.

Stupid mistake.

Such as?

Surely there are less catastrophic ways for her to express her hurt?

Swim.

Take it from your pupil mistress, Maggie,

Take the notes and go. I did next week's too.

Take your time, please.

Taxi!

Teeth marks.

Tell me everything's gonna be okay.

Tell me the truth, darling.

Tell us, where does the lift go?

Ten or 20 centimetres apart, or perhaps less even?

Tended to be

Terrified.

Than anyone else.

Than this trial, with your husband's life?

Thank you all.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you, My Lord.

Thank you, My Lord.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. And good morning, My Lord.

Thanks, lovely.

Thanks, lovely.

Thanks.

Thanks. [chuckles]

That "arrogance can be terribly attractive."

That accused him of being arrogant.

That boundaries will be respected.

That card doesn't even exist.

That closet is magic.

That different rules apply to the rich and powerful.

That doesn't matter.

That he'll weather this no confidence storm

That I have never crossed the line.

That I'm some kind of privileged beast

That I've never overridden the will or wishes of a woman,

That is exactly what we need right now.

That is impossible.

That is not a small detail, James.

That is not how I feel, James.

That is not what you said in court.

That is the degree to which those words did not compute.

That is what consent comes down to.

That is what has shaken you to the core…

That my Fitbit's on the blink.

That night he ****d you…

That on the 12th day of October 2018,

That people who aren't used to the word no

That she did not want to have sex.

That she was saying, essentially, yes?

That sounds like a seasonal stuffed animal.

That the defence do not accept that these are teeth marks?

That their liberties are different.

That this was something she very much wanted.

That three months will be adequate for preparation.

That was Chris Clarke,

That was cracking, Kate.

That was in the middle of your affair with her, correct?

That was not the plan.

That was rather embarrassing.

That wasn't on my mind at that moment.

That what began as a "yes"

That when the lift door opened,

That when you "collided" with him in the lift, you still loved him.

That when you were at university, a girl said you'd assaulted her.

That won't be necessary.

That would be extremely fucking helpful.

That would lead to having my gorgeous godson all to myself.

That you decided she didn't mean it.

That you knew she didn't want sex.

That you never had sex with my tutorial partner?

That you said, "Don't be such a prick tease", joking,

That you say "not here"?

That you've never wrenched a woman's blouse in a moment of passion?

That's academic, I didn't say it.

That's all for today!

That's all I have to ask, My Lord.

That's an absurd question.

That's bonkers. Come round for a drink.

That's enough.

That's exactly what you were doing.

That's great. Thank you so much.

That's how it was when they were at uni.

That's how talented a politician James is.

That's how, what was your word, "insubstantial" the underwear was?

That's not fair. We weren't exclusive till the end of that year.

That's not going to happen.

That's not my name.

That's not true.

That's not true.

That's not why we're here.

That's our boy.

That's Photograph A in your bundle.

That's rubbish. Sex is great.

That's such a shame that Ginny will have to miss her dance recital.

That's the truth.

That's what I always thought.

That's what I was raised to do.

The 23rd of July.

The 23rd of May.

The affair lasted five months.

The affair?

The affair. The way he ended it.

The allegation was made by a third party.

The answer is yes. That is not in dispute.

The answer to that question can be found in only one place,

The answer's yes.

The article accused me of being breathtakingly so.

The article's accusation of arrogance, it rocked me,

The blurriness of consent.

The boys were carrying on in Alec's room, and somebody brought heroin.

The British judicial system has once again proven its sturdiness…

The case must be tried solely according to the evidence.

The certainty that you are the person I want to die with.

The core truth.

The CPS thinks it's a strong case.

The Crown Court isn't a place for children.

The date for the trial has been set for the first of April.

The day in question?

The defendant, James Whitehouse, is represented by Miss Regan

The encounter fell short of her romantic expectations.

The evidence.

The exact words.

The fact that you survived a broken home as a child

The future is shite.

The hard part, of course, is that she fancied him.

The honourable lady is concerned about fairness.

The House wasn't sitting, and I hadn't expected to see him.

The idea we might get caught.

The journey was stationary.

The jury is dismissed.

The last thing you need now is a posh sex offender for a best friend.

The Mail is splashing it tomorrow. Online, late tonight.

The man himself.

The married father of two also shared a room

The next day.

The night of the end of year Libertine party…

The no confidence motion, is it Frisk that's poisoning the well?

The old bird, not the girl in Australia.

The one that I just came up in.

The one that made the headlines?

The one who jumped or fell.

The one who was making up stories about my client from his uni days.

The only conversation we had was physical.

The only thing I keep in my wallet is a picture of you, and you, and Mummy.

The Oxford police making inquiries about my client.

The paparazzi on our doorstep, having to lie on our behalf.

The past is the past as far as I'm concerned.

The PM will make it clear if he wants that,

The question of yes and no,

The reason you were late for her

The relationship.

The result of an over exuberant love bite.

The said Olivia Lytton not consenting to the penetration,

The seriousness of the allegations against you in this trial

The simple answer is he didn't.

The stakes couldn't be higher.

The story is about to break.

The sum of your script is this, deep regret, brief affair,

The Terrace Bar.

The thing is we all know how this story is going to end, don't we?

The thing is, I'm not that man.

The thought that any woman

The thought that any woman

The trial is, yes.

The truth is, Miss Lytton,

The usual… [sighs]

The ways in which you are unrecognisable.

The word "****" and my name

The word.

Then everything can go back to the way it was.

Then he sort of…

Then he…

Then what happened?

Then what? What's happened?

Then why did you allow it to happen?

Then yes.

Then yes. Yes, I was following his lead.

Then, after a moment, he said…

There is no dispute that sexual intercourse took place.

There is no doubt.

There is no logical reason why this

There is nothing else.

There is so much to read and so many more fun things to do.

There is something in your pigeonhole.

There was a power imbalance baked into their relationship.

There was no journey from "yes" to "no" in that lift,

There was no reason for you to get into that lift together, was there?

There wouldn't be an intact family in this whole bloody school.

There wouldn't be any more surprises from my past,

There you go, madam.

There, above the nipple.

There'd been an unfavourable comment piece in The Times

There's a verdict.

There's more.

There's more.

There's no complainant. And when they tried to track her down,

There's two weeks left until the end of term.

There's… there's been a…

Therefore, do not elaborate.

These last few months have been a living hell for my family,

These last few months have been a living hell for my family…

They enter the lift and began to passionately kiss.

They had engaged in spontaneous sex several times before.

They haven't been able to locate her because there's no such person.

They haven't located her yet. She moved abroad apparently.

They might not stop there this time.

They published those when I became PM.

They trust you and feel safe with you.

They were because he'd come dangerously close

They're completely disgusting.

They're massacring us.

They're more sceptical these days.

They're out for blood.

They're sick in the fucking head.

They're two different things.

They're unstoppable.

Things might not go my way tomorrow.

Things were very different when I was at uni,

Thinking.

This case concerns an event that took place between two individuals,

This case is about the here and now.

This doesn't qualify as a squall.

This is a **** case.

This is copycat stuff.

This is going to end.

This is insane.

This is May?

This is my colleague, Detective Constable Rydon.

This is the real me.

This is version 2.0.

This isn't the first time Malcolm Thwaites…

This proposed change to the immigration bill

This was so lovely. Thank you.

This was the first time in 12 years of marriage, I swear on my life.

This wasn't a normal situation for you, was it?

Those cocktail eyes of his don't hurt.

Those hyperventilating breaths.

Three bites of shrimp. My face…

Time to be done with this case.

Times have changed since you were my pupil master.

To "yes."

To an acquaintance in the press.

To be clear, it was fast, what happened in the lift.

To be similarly left hanging.

To cheat at Monopoly?

To destroying his golden future.

To get into my bra to my breasts.

To have sex with you in another Commons setting?

To know that however you behave, you will always be excused and forgiven.

To my children, my loving wife,

To my children, my loving wife,

To my community, my constituents, and my country.

To my family, and to the trust of my constituents.

To reaching the tipping point,

To stay off the Internet.

To surrender his passport and not to contact any prosecution witnesses.

To tell the PM to do what he should've done long ago, as far as you're concerned.

To the country for the day to see your parents.

To unburden yourself.

To which you referred?

Today?

Today.

Tom supplied him with the heroin, and I disposed of the evidence.

Tom, he's not going to have survived that.

Tom, please don't make me say it.

Tom, time to go.

Tomorrow will probably be worse.

Tosser probably thinks he can fly.

True.

Trust me, you don't.

Trying to invoke the Libertine club, weren't you?

Turns out the old one was defective.

Tweaked and poked her.

Two decades on?

Two hundred bloody quid, lasted less than six months.

Two narratives that start off the same and then diverge.

Two Ns, two Ps.

Two of his fingers, his middle and index, I think, inside me.

Two, at the point of penetration did Miss Lytton consent?

Ugh.

Uh,

Uh,

Uh, "James Whitehouse, a Home Office minister

Uh, can I say that?

Uh, conducted his affair with his parliamentary researcher

Uh, except the truth, that you know the man you're prosecuting.

Uh, he sort of…

Uh, I'm just trying to thank you in Russian.

Uh, I'm not sure what that was.

Uh, Miss Regan, I don't think the evidence

Uh, no, thank you, Krystyna.

Uh, no. Not initially.

Uh, one sec, guys.

Uh, seriously, Krystyna, I…

Uh, should I make you something to eat?

Uh, so listen. No details, but also no denials.

Uh, this is terrible of me.

Uh, we were kissing, being intimate.

Uh, we worked long hours and felt like we were in the trenches together.

Uh, well, there's no need for that.

Uh, where are you going?

Uh, yeah. It's on the desk, on top of the blue folder.

Uh, yes.

Uh…

Uh… [scoffing]

Uh… Oh, soon. We need to start assembling.

Um,

Um, is there more?

Um, it was a club that Daddy was in at Oxford with Uncle Tom.

Um, just barely. It was dark.

Um, Miss Woodcroft?

Um, strategically, expertly,

Um, uh, did you eat?

Um…

Unashamedly lying at Cluedo and cheating at Monopoly.

Unclear.

Under the general auspices of the Home Office.

Under vastly less serious circumstances,

Undersecretary of State in charge of drugs policy.

Understood.

Unless I fail her.

Unless you've been residing under a rock,

Unless, of course, having upright sex with a woman

Unshakeable.

Until later.

Us dancing,

Usually late at night.

Velcro Whitehouse.

Velcro.

Very much. I was able to put my education to use.

Very quickly became a "no."

Vote aye for that duck.

Wait.

Wake up, Big Brother.

Walk you through the recipe on three occasions?

Walking.

Was because you were having sex with Mr Whitehouse in his office,

Was I born into fortunate circumstances? Yes.

Was it a peck?

Was that feeling mutual?

Was that one of the sites of your affair?

Was that part of getting your bearings back?

Was that Russian?

Was that the lift?

Was the same night that one of the Libertines fell to their death.

Was this, as the Crown submits,

Wasn't and isn't.

Wasn't legally considered **** until 1991.

Wasn't she helping you with homework?

We all called him Minister, but he preferred James.

We all liked him, respected him.

We always come out on top.

We always come out on top.

We are lucky.

We are officially formerly lucky.

We are talking about something very different here.

We are tutorial partners after all.

We can get pleasantly pissed while you watch me fold.

We cared for one another.

We could argue the merits of a position or a protocol for days.

We didn't see it happen. We know nothing.

We didn't talk.

We drifted apart after she moved back to Liverpool.

We finished.

We got to watch him in the House of Commons.

We had a shorthand, as colleagues do.

We had sex, how about that?

We had sex, how about that?

We have to do both.

We have to figure out how to protect our children from it.

We have to get ahead of this.

We haven't had this in ages.

We need to be out of the door in ten minutes.

We sort of collided and then we kissed.

We submit that it is often the nature of such bites,

We were attracted to one another, deeply.

We were both a bit drunk.

We were equally invested in each other.

We were guilty of failure to communicate.

We were in very close proximity.

We were kissing.

We were rich enough to pour our Bolly away.

We were well acquainted with one another's bodies and signals by this point.

We weren't there.

We will, of course, reimburse you for the damage.

We'd been involved for five months.

We'd like to ask you a few questions in connection with an allegation.

We'll be fine.

We'll get through this.

We'll write a letter.

We're getting on.

We're in a bar, not Court 2.

We're just going for the day. A bit of country air will do us good.

We're looking forward to Saturday. I promise no last minute bailing.

We're talking about ethics.

We've always been so lucky, you and I.

We've been married for 12 years. We share two children.

We've been trying to contact you.

We've got Percy Pigs.

We've had a great time, but it had to conclude. We both know that.

Welcome to the family.

Well, afterwards, she… she seemed…

Well, always.

Well, announcing that you're leaving.

Well, as we've learned,

Well, at the very least she'd like to acquit him.

Well, curious he's got the PM on his side, Whitehouse.

Well, he made it clear he wanted me to go with him.

Well, he…

Well, he… he dropped it once I'd put my shoe back on.

Well, I don't know how you can ask me that when it's obvious I'm ageing backwards.

Well, I should hope so. I'm prosecuting your husband.

Well, I switched my mobile off while I had tea with my wife.

Well, I would ask, uh, "How's things?" but…

Well, I'm sorry you had to sit through that.

Well, I'm sorry.

Well, if I don't know you, I should.

Well, if I don't know you, then I probably should, yeah?

Well, it will always be vagina, anus, mouth, penis to me.

Well, it wouldn't be very nice to return our new pup. Would it?

Well, James is on trial for ****.

Well, Miss Lytton's underwear

Well, not music, but a mnemonic thing. VAMP, for vagina, anus, mouth, penis.

Well, now you do.

Well, of course.

Well, people will talk. We've discussed this.

Well, perhaps I should have said "dissemble."

Well, say what?

Well, she's been convincing so far, Olivia.

Well, soon I'll look just like Brad Pitt.

Well, thank you for the vote of confidence the night before I give evidence.

Well, that could come in handy.

Well, that would make the opposite of a juicy read.

Well, that's absurd.

Well, that's surely a first for a member of the Conservative Party.

Well, the girl chose not to pursue it, and the administrator couldn't force her,

Well, trapped against it. I… I… I couldn't move.

Well, try not to reveal too much of yourself in the process.

Well, uh…

Well, unless it's utterly verifiable.

Well, we really shouldn't be speaking.

Well, what did she

Well, when all this is over, then.

Well, yes, dissertations are hard,

Well, yes.

Well, you can chase it with some fizz.

Well, you had an affair with the man, told him you found him terr

Well, you just spent the afternoon with my parents. You call that luck?

Well, you'll have Chris to support you.

Well, you're exhausted.

Well, you're the one who encouraged me to take it.

Well, you're the one who jokes about having charmed your way through a degree.

Well…

Were you clear that you didn't want it?

Were you planning to have sex in those few minutes, Mr Whitehouse?

Were you saying yes, essentially?

Were you still attracted to him?

Were you still distressed a week later?

Weren't you?

What a bizarre thing.

What a bunch of pretentious arseholes.

What a massive workout your penis was getting.

What about her past?

What about her?

What about the amendment? Uh, the immigration amendment?

What about the fact that she'd also been your lover?

What about you? Who are you, Holly or Kate?

What are you implying?

What are you suggesting?

What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?

What did he do?

What did Miss Lytton tell you the next day about what happened in the lift?

What did she look like?

What did she say, Finn?

What did they say, the Oxford police?

What did you mean by that?

What did you take that to mean?

What did you think about your friend's involvement with the minister?

What did you think he was apologising for?

What do you mean by that?

What do you mean?

What do you think?

What do you think?

What do you think?

What do you think? Can I have some more?

What do you think? Shall we have some more?

What does that word mean, Mr Whitehouse?

What does the honourable gentleman think such a duck should do?

What else are they gonna find but photos of a bunch of posh lads behaving badly?

What happened when the lift arrived?

What happened?

What happened?

What happens if they've found me out and I've tried my last case?

What have I missed?

What have you learned?

What I want for my family is what I want for Mrs Sibyl Murray of Thurlsdon.

What if James Whitehouse is just your garden variety philanderer?

What if she has told him?

What if they've gone directly to the press,

What is in dispute is the nature of it.

What is it?

What is that?

What kind of agency did she really have?

What makes you think I said anything to him?

What on earth are you talking about?

What possessed you to take this case?

What secret?

What the fuck did you say to him?

What the fuck?

What the Oxford administrator said about Holly.

What this girl is doing to James is inexcusable.

What time is it?

What use would you be, Sophie? I can tell you right now.

What was going through your head when you were kissing?

What was the gift?

What was the same night?

What was your reaction when you were told that Olivia Lytton

What were you hoping to discuss exactly?

What were you planning to do in that time?

What were you running away from?

What will you study there?

What you need to remember is it's all a big misunderstanding.

What you're planning to tell the children?

What your work as a parliamentary researcher involved?

What, at this hour?

What, if any, action she should take?

What, on desks?

What, rapists?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What… what can I do?

What's "crucial"?

What's going on?

What's going on?

What's that?

What's the matter?

What's there to like?

What's this?

Whatever happened would have been at the end of our first year.

Whatever it is, it wouldn't be admissible at this stage anyway.

Whatever the defence suggests,

When are you leaving?

When did Miss Lytton first tell you about the events we are concerned with?

When did you become so crass?

When did you get back?

When did you start working for Mr Whitehouse?

When he has his mouth on your breast,

When I found you in the loo at uni, after your assault.

When I went by a different name and looked like a different person.

When it hasn't been said?

When it seemed like Tom Southern couldn't cut ties fast enough.

When the apocalypse comes, I hope I'm with you.

When was the last time you saw her?

When we first went for a drink together on the 18th of May.

When we spent two weeks in Corsica, and we made love every single night,

When we…

When will they be home?

When will you be back?

When you come to consider your verdict, you must decide three things.

When you entered the lift, were you hoping that sex might take place?

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Where else?

Where the sex was as unbridled as it was spontaneous.

Where were you going?

Where?

Where?

Where?

Where's Daddy?

Where's the girl?

Where's Tom?

Where's Tom?

Whether he still has full confidence in his dear friend,

Which could mean that Britain would have no control over its trade policy,

Which I assured him there would not.

Which I take no pleasure in asking.

Which is that she wanted it.

Which is what I needed to tell you.

Which is what she wants, she accuses you of ****.

Which is why I…

Which is why, as you told me,

Which old bird?

Which talent?

Which usually means a debate about noise pollution, but…

Which was ended by Mr Whitehouse on the 5th of October.

Which way are you going?

Which we would have to abide by,

Which word?

Which would be directly in contravention to our own country's interests.

While you were kissing passionately.

While you were travelling from A to B was normal for you?

Who do you think they would have believed?

Who is Holly? I can't even conjure a face.

Who raised the question of ****?

Who says I've cracked?

Who sits to my right.

Who, our guys?

Who?

Who?

Who's lying?

Who's Maggie?

Whoa! Elder abuse.

Whoo!

Why are you doing this?

Why are you here, Mrs Whitehouse?

Why are you taking them there?

Why can't you sneak out here and join us? Come on.

Why can't you tell me who did this to you?

Why did you quit?

Why did you wanna meet me?

Why didn't you report it to the police?

Why do we still buy into all of this nonsense?

Why do you say that?

Why do you want to find her?

Why doesn't he focus on Olivia Lytton for God's sake?

Why don't we just enjoy the rare fact

Why is she lying about you? Why doesn't he poke into that?

Why not just be there? The worst is over.

Why not?

Why not?

Why not?

Why not?

Why **** a woman who was willing to have sex with him?

Why would I throw all that away over a stupid mistake?

Why would James Whitehouse force himself upon Olivia Lytton,

Why would she lie about that?

Why would she lie about you, Daddy?

Why would you do that?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Will be proven innocent.

Will the defendant please rise?

Will you be my lawyer?

Willing to pass along lies. This is nonsense.

With a duckling in his employ?

With a married man,

With another minister or different department.

With Holly?

With stunning Olivia Lytton, 28, during the party conference."

Without knowing the full facts.

Won't happen again.

Work mostly.

Worry about the morning tomorrow.

Would die for.

Would he be so kind as to explain why?

Would it be fair to say that at this point the relationship was serious?

Would sometimes go for a drink.

Would you like a pepperoni or plain cheese?

Would you like tea?

Would you turn that up, please?

Would've been acutely embarrassing, yes.

Wouldn't you agree?

Yay.

Yeah, agreed.

Yeah, but you keep talking about the balance of power.

Yeah, it's Polly.

Yeah!

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. I'm all right.

Yeah… Miss Regan, that is a comment.

Yep.

Yes and no.

Yes or no?

Yes, but I was determined to be professional.

Yes, but not at this point. At this point, I was saying no.

Yes, but she never said anything.

Yes, but you're kind.

Yes, but you're unhappy.

Yes, cruel.

Yes, he…

Yes, I suppose.

Yes, I was.

Yes, I'm sure.

Yes, it is.

Yes, it is.

Yes, it was before I knew about my shellfish allergy.

Yes, it was.

Yes, mate.

Yes, My Lord.

Yes, or no.

Yes, please.

Yes, there is, Brian.

Yes, when they were kissing,

Yes, you will.

Yes!

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. And I'll be there for you.

Yes. But it's James Whitehouse.

Yes. He bit me.

Yes. I can see it oozing out now.

Yes. I was… [inhales deeply]

Yes. My name is James Charles Whitehouse.

Yes. Of course we are.

Yes. That all got featured when Tom Southern was made party leader.

Yes. The truth is always convincing.

Yes. Yes.

Yet.

You admitted as much.

You all right?

You all right?

You always smell so good.

You and Miss Lytton had had sex in the Commons before on two occasions.

You appear to be a no nonsense person, Miss Ledger.

You are here to determine the truth.

You are more concerned with your first year tutorial partner

You are not a fucking junkie.

You are pretty.

You are such a lovely woman.

You can be my alibi, sweet Soph.

You can.

You can't help yourself.

You can't possibly know that.

You can't very well admit it. Can you, Mr Whitehouse?

You can't.

You come here, at this hour, to my house,

You coming up?

You could do anything you want.

You could have reasonably believed that Olivia Lytton gave you her consent.

You did do what you were not accused of.

You did well.

You didn't assume he was taking you somewhere private?

You didn't discuss making inquiries

You didn't say "no."

You didn't say "stop it."

You don't behave like an entitled arsehole.

You don't just switch off your feelings. At least, I don't.

You don't look the same, you don't sound the same.

You entered her even though you knew she was telling you no.

You gave her an expensive gift that said as much.

You go by some made up name.

You gonna tell him you're gonna marry him?

You have a lot going on.

You have expertise when it comes to the substantiality of a woman's underwear?

You have half your whole life ahead of you.

You have to believe me, I did not know.

You intentionally penetrated the vagina of Olivia Lytton with your penis,

You knew him?

You know better. You know me better than anybody else.

You know most of it.

You know that.

You know what it reminded me of?

You know what Maggie was saying?

You know you don't stand a chance with this one?

You know, I often wonder what it must be like

You know, I thought I was, um, fine coming here,

You leave with our gratitude.

You led the way into the lift?

You look familiar.

You may as well announce to the world you think I'm guilty.

You may not be open to sharing a drink with me tomorrow.

You may recognise the man being tried.

You mean the facade.

You mean this?

You met Mr Whitehouse in his office at just after 9 p.m.?

You met Mr Whitehouse there at 9 p.m.

You might even gain some fans amongst the older male voter.

You might think the public are looking to me,

You must be Sophie.

You need a towel, miss.

You need company? Chocolates?

You never said "no,"

You never told me who it was.

You okay?

You owe me.

You owe me.

You performed oral sex on him

You raise one, you raise all three.

You ran from the scene,

You said it.

You said that in the committee corridor,

You said you were worried someone might see you?

You said, "Don't be such a prick tease," she must be lying.

You say you are not a brutish man.

You seem to be taking it rather personally.

You should both go home.

You sound a bit ambivalent, darling.

You testified that it was a foul phrase.

You think he's a good man, don't you?

You think like a poet.

You think you know me.

You want me to go?

You were attending the Home Affairs Select Committee together,

You were due to address the Home Affairs Select Committee meeting.

You were due to go to a friend's leaving party.

You were enraged when you entered the lift, weren't you?

You were frustrated at Macmillan.

You were hoping he was taking you somewhere private.

You were in a sexual relationship with Mr Whitehouse?

You were spontaneous?

You won't be seeing me. I'm not coming to court.

You won't.

You'd brought your father's flask.

You'd have stopped if you'd heard her say "not here."

You'd scoured yourself to the point of breaking skin.

You'd view any sex that occurred between them as wrong?

You'll be great.

You'll do the same tomorrow.

You'll get home earlier this way.

You'll know that the honourable member for Thurlsdon

You're a goddess.

You're a good friend.

You're absolutely sure you didn't?

You're amazing, Olivia. You're young, you're bright.

You're an accused rapist, twice over.

You're clever.

You're good for him.

You're his type.

You're just lucky I have police contacts

You're not gonna be springing any surprises on us?

You're not suggesting that a lifetime of service

You're not telling me just to tell me

You're right.

You're the one who told me he's number two on sexymp.co.uk, or whatever it is.

You're the problem.

You've been sucked into the whole hideous mess.

You've got one too. Never have enough.

You've probably met her. She's one of my aides.

Your case is getting a lot of attention.

Your charm is a plus, but your certitude won't serve us today.

Your colleague, Kitty Ledger, was waiting for you in the Red Lion.

Your full name and a little louder, please.

Your left handed scribbling and your colour coded notes.

Your primary concern was about being seen?

Your support is far more meaningful, believe me.

Your torn underwear, Miss Lytton,

Your voice on the phone earlier,

Your wife must be wondering where you are.

1991.

…lifted me up against the wall… [Olivia gasping]

…um, hanging, as it were. [murmuring]

'Cause you keep extras. In your wallet.

[all] Yeah! [scattered clapping]

[Angela] A passionate kiss, you said? Yes.

[Angela] But you went willingly? Yes.

[Angela] Heated? We were hungry for one another.

[Angela] You sure? One's my limit.

[both breathing heavily] [Olivia moaning]

[both chuckling] Cheers.

[bottle hisses] How are we, boys?

[boy] Excellent work, Tom. [Tom] Let's not drink it.

[boys clamouring] Omertà of the Libertines!

[Brian] How was it, miss? Awful.

[cell phone chimes] God, he's vile.

[children] A Whitehouse. And what's the thing about Whitehouses?

[Chris] What did you say to him? Why are you FaceTiming me?

[Chris] You said you told me everything. I did.

[clothes tearing] [Holly gasping]

[cork squeaks] [glass sliding]

[coughs, laughs] [Olivia] So I read your draft proposal.

[dishes clattering] Well, because, um

[dog barking] Come on.

[door closing] [lock clicking]

[door opening] [knocking on door]

[driver] Can I ask you a question though? Of course.

[driver] Sure. Thank you.

[elevator bell dings] [Olivia moaning]

[Ellie] Lucy. [Lucy] Ellie, darling.

[Emily] Are you home for good? I am.

[Emily] Are you surprised? [James] Yes.

[Emily] Daddy, you cheated. [Finn] Cheater.

[Emily] Daddy! [Finn] Cheater!

[Emily] Daddy. Oh!

[Emily] I missed you. How are you?

[Emily] To what? To Mummy.

[Emily] Whoo! [man speaking indistinctly]

[Finn] Come on, Mum! [Sophie] Coming!

[Finn] Daddy! [Emily] Daddy!

[Finn] Granny! Grandpa! Granny!

[Finn] Mummy, hug, too? Hi, sweetie.

[footsteps approaching] [door closing]

[girl 2] Hey! [James] Come on.

[girl 2] Morning, Sophie. How are you? Morning.

[girl] Sophie! [Sophie] Hey!

[girl] Whoo! [rock music playing]

[high pitched whirring] [Sophie shuddering]

[Holly] But [Sophie] I'm just being practical.

[Holly] I've got to go. [boy] What, really?

[Holly] The Malory? [Sophie] Yeah.

[Holy gasping] [James groaning]

[James breathing heavily] [Kate] Did you say anything?

[James grunting] [Olivia] He just

[James laughing] Oh, now it's empty.

[James] Do I know you? [Holly] It's Holly.

[James] Got everything? Okay. [woman] Yes, sir.

[James] I hope in time you'll be able to. Not your affair.

[James] No. You were angry about the article.

[James] She has a brilliant mind. [Chris] That'd make a better headline.

[James] Soph? [gasping]

[James] Thank you so much. Thank you.

[James] Thank you. [Angela] My pleasure.

[James] What kind of name is that? Holly?

[James] Who's that? Uh, she's my tutorial partner.

[journalist 3] Mrs Whitehouse! Good morning.

[journalist] Here he comes! [journalist 2] Mr Whitehouse!

[journalists clamouring] [camera shutters clicking]

[journalists clamouring] [camera shutters clicking]

[journalists clamouring] [camera shutters clicking]

[Kate sighing] [jury laughing]

[Kate's breath shuddering] Sorry. Sorry.

[Kate] And were you worried about that? [Olivia] Yes.

[Kate] And what did he say to that? He didn't.

[Kate] But what, Miss Lytton? He wasn't listening.

[Kate] But you understand what it means? Of course.

[Kate] Did it leave a mark? [Olivia] Yes.

[Kate] Do you think I can't hear you? Also, her ears are bionic.

[Kate] How did she seem? [Kitty] Very upset indeed.

[Kate] I prefer it. I fear it.

[Kate] In how long, Mr Whitehouse? I don't know. Not long.

[Kate] On a key issue? Yes.

[Kate] Where are Ed and your kids? He took them to a movie.

[Kate] You're sure of that? Yes.

[kids laughing] [Sophie] Do you want us to come home?

[kids] Miss you, Daddy! [Sophie] Miss you!

[knocking on door] [door opens]

[knocking on door] [doorbell ringing]

[knocking on door] [doorbell ringing]

[knocking on door] [doorbell ringing]

[loud knocking on door] [Sophie gasping]

[Lucy] Hello. You've reached James Whitehouse.

[man 2] James. Tom.

[man 2] Yeah. [man 3] Yes.

[man clearing throat] [woman coughing]

[man] Prime Minister. Afternoon.

[man] Thank you. [woman 5] Enjoy your night.

[Olivia groaning] [clothes tearing]

[Olivia] I was happy at first, honestly. Why?

[Olivia] Yes. [Kate] How did that change come about?

[seagulls warbling] [waves crashing]

[sighing heavily] [Krystyna] Let me help you.

[Sophie scoffing] …for everyone's sake.

[Sophie shushing] [James breath shuddering, sniffling]

[Sophie] Good. Yeah. Listen, I was just saying to James.

[Sophie] Hello. I don't like the number 44.

[Sophie] Hey. I woke you. I'm sorry.

[Sophie] Hi. Hey.

[Sophie] How are you? Very good.

[Sophie] How many? Well, I didn't count.

[Sophie] Oh God. This is it.

[Sophie] Sorry. No.

[Sophie] What are you doing with that? It was in the study.

[Tom] Fuck it. [anchor] Momentum appears to be building…

[Tom] Good morning, gentlemen. Ladies. [men] Good morning, Prime Minister.

[Tom] How's Sophie? Pretty great.

[waitress] Champagne? Thank you.

[whispering] Hi. [James whispering] Hi.

[woman 2] Mrs Whitehouse. How are you? Oh hello.

[woman 4] There she is. Hello, hello.

[woman] Hi, Sophie. Hello, darling. Hi.

[woman] Prime Minister. Afternoon.

[woman] Sorry. Sorry, sorry.

Administrative? Parliamentary researcher.

Advantage? In terms of her career.

Ali, she knows. [Ali] Sorry?

Alison? [gasping]

Alliterative and to the point. [James] Christ almighty, Chris.

And opened your blouse? He wrenched it open.

And say what? [Kate] Do I get a lawyer?

And so [James] A bruise was not the goal.

And we had a lot in common, actually. [Angela] Such as?

And what are you, my good man? [Finn] A Whitehouse.

And what did he say to that? He didn't like it.

And what happened when you stumbled? He helped me.

And you like clarity, is that right? Absolutely.

Another time. Please.

Are you all done with homework then? Yes.

Are you joking? [James] No.

Because I'm leaving you. What?

Because it doesn't matter. [woman] Kate!

Because she reached up for my face. James.

Best one yet. Well done.

Bright, ambitious. Which is why she got out of Slough.

But James never did. [man] I don't disagree.

But the blouse remained unharmed? Yes.

But, Mummy, what is a Libertine? [Sophie] Mmhmm?

Bye. [Emily] Can't wait to show Daddy.

Can I go over to Joe's? Not today, darling. No.

Can I take your coat? Thanks.

Cheater! [Emily] Daddy!

Cheater. [James] Help!

Cheeky Sophie. [man 2] Happy birthday.

Chris. [Sophie] Ugh.

Chris. Has he got something on you?

Christ. Yeah. That was the other possibility.

Come on. [Tom] No.

Come on. [Tom] What?

Come on. Believe in yourself.

Come on. Come on. [Tom groaning]

Daddy, you were cheating. Naughty Daddy.

Daddy. [music stops]

Did we win? Not yet.

Did you call him James? No. Always Minister.

Did you know her? She was my first year tutorial partner.

Did you know this was coming? [James] No.

Do you think I'm arrogant? I

Do you want me to beg? Please don't.

Do you want me to check with the officer? [Angela] Yes, if you could.

Do you want to come in? [Sophie] Thank you.

Do you want us to come home early? [James] Yes, please.

Does he know who you are? I don't know.

Does that mean I said stop talking.

Don't be such a prick tease. [Finn] Daddy?

Don't go anywhere. I've nothing to hide. Suit yourself.

Don't say that. Because that would fucking kill me.

Even consensual sex? Is that right? I don't see how that matters.

Everybody does that. Everybody bloody doesn't.

For the children! [James] Not a great look!

For what? For saying I was in love with her.

Four novels. Heaven. [cell phone chimes]

Fuck! Sorry! [Finn gasping] Daddy!

Get back. Come on. [journalists] Mr Whitehouse!

Good. Napkins.

Grey is overrated. [jury chuckling]

Guess what? [children] What?

Happy birthday, Mark. Excuse me. Sorry.

Have they had lunch? Yes.

He's no longer a minister. Who's your best mate.

He's unctuous and talks too much. He doesn't have the balls.

Hello there. [Sophie] Hi, Ellie.

Hello, Emily. Remember Mr Clarke?

Hello. Hello, darling.

Hello. Hi.

Her name's Holly. James!

Hey. Oh my God.

Hey. Where are you?

Hi, it's Whitehouse. [whispers] Hi.

Hi. I'm starving. You guys?

Highly associated with wealth and wisdom. Is that true?

How? With his body language.

How's the birthday boy? In denial.

I didn't want you to carry that weight. Oh God. I could have decided for myself.

I don't know him. You were tutorial partners with his wife.

I followed him. Why?

I have no idea what you're talking about. Who's behind it then?

I have to go. [Sophie] Already?

I knew it was a Libertine. What?

I miss you all. Miss you, Daddy.

I miss you. [Sophie] Bye, bye.

I needed a break! I'd like a break!

I said, "pomp." [woman chuckles]

I saved your life, Tom. Do not say any more.

I should go. You don't mean that.

I think so. You think so?

I was worried about Olivia. But you believe affairs are wrong?

I wish I could help. Sorry. Do you?

I wish you'd gone to the judge. It would've served nothing.

I would find that helpful. I don't know. 20, 30.

I… I don't understand. I know.

I'm a fucking liar. [Richard] Kate.

I'm hungry. [Sophie] Ugh.

I'm so sorry, I just need to be alone. [Richard scoffing]

I'm sorry. [Ali gasping]

Involving Whitehouse? Hmm.

Is it Frisk? Why do you suspect Frisk?

Is she pregnant? No. God, no.

Is that a criticism? Not at all.

Is there anything you'd like me to do? No. I'll be back.

Isn't that Granny's recipe? [James] Only better.

Isn't that right, Brian? Quite right, miss.

Isn't that right? Yes.

It is more inclusive, not less! [indistinct clamoring]

It sounds like you did. Join us.

It was Olivia. She said in her evidence that it was you.

It would be my pleasure. [woman chuckles]

It's champing. What?

It's not personal. He's not a rapist.

It's only a game, dear. With which he honed his ability to lie.

Just like him. Stop it.

Just take these back to Chambers, then? [Kate] Yes, please.

Keep the change. [driver] Thank you.

Krystyna, would you some? No. Thank you.

Krystyna. Sorry. I didn't realise you

Let's waste it. [boys clamour in agreement]

Look, it wasn't Tom Southern. Then who?

Look. I don't wanna talk about that I know you don't. And I get it, I do.

Looks it. Plus, he's popular.

Lovely. It's not just that he's a minister

May I ask what this is about? Olivia Lytton.

Minister. Olivia.

Miss Lytton. [Olivia] Yes.

Mr Whitehouse, where's Sophie? Where's Sophie?

Mr Whitehouse. [James] Yes?

Mummy, what's a Libertine? Beg your pardon?

My Lord! Miss Woodcroft.

My Lord. Miss Regan.

My Lord. Miss Woodcroft.

My throat closed off, I got sick… Sophie?

No, no, no. I've already bought us a third round.

No. [Tuppence] Oh thank God for that.

No. Did you say "don't tease me"?

No. If you say so.

No. Or some other use of the word "tease"?

Not long. [James] You should be asleep, darling.

Nothing's just sex. But it was, Soph.

Of course I do. Of course she's not leaving.

Of course I'm concerned. You choose to take the day off!

Oh my God. I'm sorry. [Olivia] Sorry, James.

Oh my God. I'm sorry. Sorry.

Oh, sweet pea! Good to see you.

Oh, they ripped by themselves then? No.

Plain cheese, please. [Sophie] Okay. I'll call when it's ready.

Play a bit of croquet. [Finn] Yes!

Prime Minister, your diary I know. Thank you.

Prime Minister. [man 2] I believe he's in?

**** her? [Tom] Yes.

Really? [James] I know.

Right away. Thank you very much indeed.

See you tomorrow. Too late.

She hates tea. No. I hate tea.

She said, "Not here." She didn't.

Should I confess? No, you'd end your career.

So I was googling him. [Kate] Who, Brian?

So is there anything else? Yes.

So the dog will stay in the garden? [door closing]

So, what Chris Clarke said was true. [James] Was rubbish.

Sophie. Mrs Whitehouse.

Sophie. Come in. I know what you like to do.

Sorry. I didn't mean to [Sophie] Of course I'm not leaving.

Sorry. What would you like for dinner? Pizza?

Sound? It's brilliant. [indistinct chatter]

Sounds a bit dramatic. It's the truth.

Talk tomorrow? [Richard] Yeah.

Thank you. Where are you going?

That was Holly. Come on, Kate.

That's when Holly left. I don't give a fuck about Holly!

That's why you called her a prick tease. I never said that.

The meeting was just about to start. [James] Correct.

The truth won today. [door closes]

There's another one. Another what?

They're old friends. He looks like a rapist.

To Mummy. [all] To Mummy.

To the future. [glasses clank]

Tom, run. What about

Tomorrow's another day. Indeed.

Uh, were there any buttons missing? No.

Very funny, Alison. Oh, I didn't think you'd show.

Was it torn? [Olivia] No.

Well, that's not enough time, is it? No, it's not, Minister.

Well, the feeling isn't mutual. [Sophie sighing]

Well, then you should stay. [Sophie] I can't. I heard from Krystyna.

Well, this is different. What's different?

Well, this is the worst of it? Yes.

Were you sitting on the stairs? How long?

What about Fucking run.

What are they doing? They're anal chugging.

What are you playing at? Sorry?

What could be bad on this beautiful day? [woman 2 chuckles]

What did you mean by that? I already explained.

What do you mean "luck"? [Brian chuckles]

What happened next? He asked me for a drink.

What the fuck do they want with me? Wait. Wait. Please, I can't hear you.

What? End of the first week in June.

What's this about? You might not want to hear this, Sophie.

When? Tonight.

Where are you going? Where are you going?

Where's James? Let me find out.

Where's your handsome half? That is a very good question.

Who came forward? The administrator.

Who the fuck's that? Press?

Who? [Kate] Maggie.

Who's there? [girl] Me.

With your blessing. Yes. Amend away.

Would you go back? [Sophie] To Corsica?

Would you like some wine? Please.

Yeah? [Tom] Yeah.

Yeah? I love you.

Yeah. Let's go.

Yes. [Angela] And just

Yes. [Angela] And you told him, here it is,

Yes. [Kate] So not very long.

Yes. [Kate] Where did you go?

Yes. And how did the split make you feel?

Yes. Oh, Holly Berry, Sophie Greenaway.

Yes. You have never said it before?

Yes. You sure about this one?

You all right? [Olivia] Yeah.

You are such a mucky pup. [Sophie] Bit of a spill.

You can do it, mate. [James] Tom.

You can't. [Tom] Well, I'd rather not, obviously.

You cheated. [Finn] Cheater.

You don't need this shit. Is there a pill you could take?

You heard what Chris Clarke said. Chris is a cunt.

You remember Lawrence Hughes Davies? Of course.

You told me not to be such a spod. And are you? A spod?

You told us. Isn't that right? That was before.

You wouldn't want to see me shaking. I would, actually.

…"Don't be such a prick tease."

…and, uh…

…and, while I will go to my grave

…but quite high profile.

…it blew up like a balloon. It was absolutely…

…it's made of thin material.

…it's passed.

…put his fingers…

…spontaneous.

…superior. [scoffs]

…trying to push him away.

…what if you're wrong?

…you've got to fuck up brilliantly.

'Cause it's a busy time.

'Cause otherwise, you wouldn't stay working here, would you?

'Cause she's the most wonderful woman I know.

'Course.

[all] All the Bolly, now pour it away!

[all] Happy anniversary!

[anchor 2] But let's be quite clear. You know, what she said is…

[anchor speaking indistincly over radio]

[anchor] …could not accept staying in the Customs Union,

[anchor] …members of Prime Minister Tom Southern's own party

[anchor] Rumours are swirling in Westminster

[anchor] There are rumblings this morning in Parliament…

[Angela chuckling]

[Angela] 1,753, that's more like it.

[Angela] And then the lift arrived,

[Angela] But on the date in question, you had split up, hadn't you?

[Angela] Can you believe it? It just stopped working.

[Angela] Depressing to drink alone.

[Angela] Despite the fact that things had ended?

[Angela] Had that happened before?

[Angela] Hmm.

[Angela] I'd like you to look at your statement, please.

[Angela] Is there a strict hierarchy in your office?

[Angela] More than distressed. You were angry, weren't you?

[Angela] No. The mum said she went to Australia.

[Angela] No. They replaced it.

[Angela] Oh, one other thing.

[Angela] So did he wrench it or pull it apart?

[Angela] So once in the lift, you kiss.

[Angela] What did you think he was doing, calling the lift?

[Angela] Yes, My Lord.

[Angela] Yes, My Lord.

[Angela] You valued her.

[Chris] Basically, your priority from now on

[Chris] Brilliant, that's all I needed.

[Chris] But did you speak to her leading up to this?

[Chris] Johnny Public's gonna be reading this in the Daily Mail.

[Chris] Let's just hope his suicidal support of you

[Chris] No. No, you can't not stand by him.

[Chris] So she's a classic woman scorned. Is that it?

[Chris] Still, if he gets full on MeToo'd,

[Chris] That's the Oxford girl's name apparently.

[Chris] Think anyone's making distinctions?

[Chris] This won't be the end of it.

[Chris] You should publicly distance yourself from Whitehouse.

[Kate] And had anything like that ever happened before?

[Kate] And on the 18th of May, when you ran into Mr Whitehouse,

[Kate] And then?

[Kate] And what did he say the second time?

[Kate] And what did he say?

[Kate] And what was that?

[Kate] And what was your role in his office?

[Kate] And why didn't the minister join the staff for drinks?

[Kate] At the office.

[Kate] Both.

[Kate] But the truth is,

[Kate] Can you tell us please, Miss Ledger,

[Kate] Can you tell us what's in the picture?

[Kate] Did he acknowledge you?

[Kate] Did the affair with Mr Whitehouse start that night?

[Kate] Did things change between you and Mr Whitehouse?

[Kate] Did you respond?

[Kate] Did you talk about anything else?

[Kate] Do you need to take a break, Miss Lytton?

[Kate] Do you remember the words he used?

[Kate] Fuck!

[Kate] Go on.

[Kate] He assaulted me.

[Kate] Hmm.

[Kate] How did you address him?

[Kate] How long did the relationship last?

[Kate] How long had you been in the lift by this point?

[Kate] I

[Kate] I can't stop thinking about the case.

[Kate] I need to refine my closing.

[Kate] I thought the girl was dead.

[Kate] In what way?

[Kate] Is that how they looked when you put them on that day?

[Kate] Mr Whitehouse?

[Kate] No, it's my fault. I'm fucked.

[Kate] No. I'm fine.

[Kate] Now, can you describe the lift itself?

[Kate] Of course.

[Kate] Okay.

[Kate] Okay. Can we take this in stages?

[Kate] So he rips your tights and underwear.

[Kate] So he whispered,

[Kate] So if a man did say it to a woman, do you agree

[Kate] So when you charged off down the hallway

[Kate] So you got into the lift not knowing where you were going?

[Kate] So, what were you feeling at this point?

[Kate] Sorry.

[Kate] Thank you, My Lord.

[Kate] That day in the office,

[Kate] Ugh.

[Kate] Well, tell us, please.

[Kate] What did you think was happening?

[Kate] What happened next?

[Kate] What happened next?

[Kate] What happened on the 23rd of May?

[Kate] What time did you have to be back for the meeting?

[Kate] What was he like?

[Kate] What was it?

[Kate] What'd you do when he charged off like this?

[Kate] Where were you at this point?

[Kate] Yeah, in minutes.

[Kate] You're a strong man, Mr Whitehouse.

[Kate] You're certain of that?

[Kate] Your own?

[man 2] It's the Christmas season. Come and join us.

[man] Oh great. Do you like it?

[man] Oh, James.

[man] See you later, old chap.

[man] Sophie!

[man] Well, you can buy me a drink and save on gift wrap.
