SHE BREATHES HEAVILY
TEAH: You look different from everyone else here.
That's because I am different.
Makes two of us.
I'm gonna be speaking with your mother and father soon.
Go easy on my dad.
He's a bit of a dick, but he means well.
And, er...
..tell my mum...
sorry I ruined the party.
Anything else you wish me to pass on?
Tell them...
Tell them this is on me.
DIONE: Why else would they pull us out of the party?
But eco-terrorism! That's a bit extreme.
What else could it be?
This is our daughter you're talking about.
Yeah, and last month, some of her Earth Warrior besties
paint-bombed that NCT coffee morning, remember?
Yeah, and?
And what if she decides that real bombs are more "on point".
No, no, no, no. Teah still believes in non-violence at heart.
She also believes the Earth is completely screwed.
Listen, even if you're right, and I'm certain you are not,
I would know if things are getting out of hand.
How? I just would, OK?
Teah's always kept me in the loop. She knows I'm an ally.
Well, that's not what she called you the other day.
BEEPING, DOOR OPENS
HE BREATHES IN, CLEARS HIS THROAT
Good morning. I am Judicial Inquisitor Sarah Willis.
Sorry, to keep you waiting.
I somehow doubt that.
David and Dione Sinclair, you're being assessed
as mandated by the Milligan Act 2033.
This inquisition will seek to ascertain if the accused,
Teah Grace Sinclair, was a victim of wilful neglect -
psychological, physical, emotional, financial, empathetic,
or a combination of any of the above.
This is so incredibly offensive.
In the event that guilt is established, you will be charged,
pending further investigation.
Any questions?
None.
No.
DOOR OPENS
There.
We'd like to see Teah, please.
That isn't possible.
Well, at least tell us why she's been arrested.
I'm not at liberty to discuss that.
Look, whatever mess our daughter's got herself into,
I can guarantee you she's been coerced.
The girl is easily led.
I wouldn't describe Teah as "easily led".
What I'm trying to say is, if you don't tell us the problem,
we can't fix it.
We're not here to fix it.
This is an inquisition, not a boardroom negotiation.
I ask questions. You will answer them.
How is she doing? Teah's doing well.
Most importantly, cooperating.
Did she say anything about us?
No.
Now, before we proceed, how would you prefer to be addressed?
The condemned? You know, or just brand us...
Dione and David's fine.
Dione Sinclair has approved all access to personal cyber records.
I have nothing to hide.
I'm glad to hear it,
as lying to a judicial inquisitor is an indictable offence,
carrying a minimum sentence of five years.
David Sinclair has refused access to said cyber records.
A court warrant has been sought.
It's an infringement of our civil liberties.
Very well.
The assessment is a two-stage procedure.
Stage one is pre-conception.
Simply put, how you met, what attracted you to each other
and why you deemed yourself child-creation compatible.
Stage two comprises gestation, growth and birth and development.
Now, do you have any questions before we proceed?
No. Yes. Our daughter...
is a caring, confident and loving young person.
Only last year, she donated her annual NHS budget
to an economically challenged Glasgow family.
HE SIGHS I suppose,
what I'm trying to say is,
that kind of attitude isn't created in a vacuum.
Duly noted.
Dione Millicent Sinclair, Order of the British Empire,
born Peckham, London, the 12th of the 6th, 1979.
CEO Idea Engineering, PLC.
No cautions, arrests, civil or criminal convictions.
South London girl done well for herself.
David Peter Sinclair.
Born Chorlton, Manchester, the 25th of the 4th, 1979.
Unemployed.
Er, part-time landscape gardener and photographer, if you don't mind.
Duly noted. Thank you.
Arrested three times for trespass.
Two cautions, no formal charges or convictions.
You must have an excellent lawyer.
As you're gonna find out after this sideshow.
David, would you describe yourself as political?
Socialist, and proud of it.
Moving on. Er, aren't you forgetting someone?
Women do still have the vote.
Well, being apolitical isn't relevant.
Apolitical?
As stated in your wife's OBE acceptance letter.
Well, I learn something new about you every day.
Sorry for the interruption.
Don't apologise.
She was just trying to bait you. Hm.
Please describe to me when and where you first met.
Er, well, that would've been, er, third year of university.
November 12th, 2000.
She never forgets a date. It's uncanny.
At City University, where you studied Business and Economics.
And you? Media Studies.
What were your first impressions of each other?
Well, I mean, apart from the superficial...
Superficial?
Well, he thought I was drop-dead gorgeous.
And intelligent and highly driven.
And what attracted you to David?
Well, he... Good looking, nice bum.
THEY CHUCKLE Very cocksure of himself.
Well, I'd call it self-confidence.
Mm.
Is arrogance a trait you value in others, Dione?
I value...
..clarity of direction and purpose.
In this instance, David made me feel desired.
Oh, and he made me laugh, which few people have ever managed.
Ha! It was basically love at first sight for me.
And did you feel the same? Sorry, why is this relevant?
Everything is relevant when you decide to bring another human being
into this world.
Unless you disagree?
Love at first sight is simply a neurotransmitter cocktail
that produces something called limerence.
Did you have sexual intercourse on that first night?
No. HE CHUCKLES
No, it, er... it wasn't like that for me.
Oh, come on. You would have jumped me if you were physically able.
David's sashimi didn't agree with him.
He wound up in A&E.
Where you stayed with me for hours and hours.
You see, even back then, Dione's nurturing and...
compassionate nature was obvious.
She doesn't need the hard sell.
So you began a relationship?
Yes, and it was passionate...
..intense and wonderful.
We were amazing.
Yet, according to cyber records,
you decided to end it after only six months, Dione.
Yeah, only because I wanted to go travelling.
Yeah, and becoming a dropout wasn't an option for me.
DEVICE BEEPS
LIEUTENANT SIMONS: 'Inquisitor, you requested an update.'
Please excuse me. Interview paused.
COMPUTER VOICE: 15:28 and eight seconds.
Why do you have to call me a dropout?
You OK? You mentioned an update?
Yeah, the suspect asked to speak to a lawyer.
So? One of ours.
What else?
AI scans of the girl's diary
are complete and uploaded on your tablet.
About time. How'd the search of the house go?
Nothing of interest yet.
Dig up the father and the daughter's arrest reports.
I'm just puzzled why CPS never made a case against them.
Yeah, that is odd. I'll look into it.
So... first impressions on Mummy and Daddy?
This isn't personal. HE CHUCKLES
It's always personal with you, Inquisitor.
I just feel humiliated.
You know they're probably listening! I don't give a shit!
A husband should know his wife's politics.
Oh, come on, you don't even know if I'm faking an orgasm!
Yeah, make a joke out of it, but I'm telling you,
that woman wants us divided. No, she wants us to lie.
BEEPING, DOOR OPENS
Interview resumed.
COMPUTER VOICE: 15:50 and three seconds.
So, in 2001, the relationship ended.
When did you reconnect? Er, that would have been...
April 2017. Yeah.
So, a year after your first husband passed away.
Why, that too soon in your book? It was like we'd never been apart.
I can see you have no offspring from previous relationships.
No, my ex and I tried, but, erm, she couldn't conceive.
That's what finished us in the end.
Moving on.
When did you begin cohabiting?
Er, David moved into my place May 2017.
So, almost immediately?
Well, he was basically homeless.
Well, not... not meth-addict homeless.
HE LAUGHS
I was just, you know, between addresses.
In 2017, can you remember your job title at that time?
Hmm.
Joint Head of Strategy.
You were Head of AI Creativity.
Correct. My mistake.
Oh, one easily made, huh,
given the number of promotions over the years.
And every single one earned, and then some.
I'm sure. With that said,
would it be fair to say that you're career-orientated?
No. I'm success-orientated. There's a critical difference.
How so?
Well, you can have a long career and still achieve next to nothing.
Much like your average politician.
Or even worse, never realise your full potential.
Very well. You're success-orientated.
Would you still agree that your career defines you?
My career is important to me, yes.
Don't worry, I know where the inquisitor's going with this.
Three months after yet another major promotion,
you learn that you're pregnant.
And we're at the races.
Was it your first pregnancy?
Third.
I had two prior terminations.
But surely, all that matters is that we were both over the moon?
Mm.
COMPUTER VOICE: Voice note. Dione Sinclair.
11:34, May 6th, 2017.
DIONE: 'David, Where are you? This is a fucking disaster!'
Am I to conclude the pregnancy wasn't planned?
Yes. Were you on birth control?
Just ask the question.
At this early stage, did you consider a third termination?
DIONE SIGHS
I considered it, yes.
And I would have supported Dione in any decision she made.
Why did you opt against it?
Well, there were a number of factors. Erm...
Basically...
..my mother talked me round.
And that would be Ruth Majors. Correct.
In what way did your mother influence your decision?
Well, amongst other things...
..she believed that the baby was a gift from God.
A gift from God. Are you for real?
She was sick at that time. She'd always wanted a grandchild.
She'd just received a terminal diagnosis.
Am I to understand you were unaware of this fact?
Er, yeah. Correct.
I don't see how it matters now. Don't worry about it.
You still got what you always wanted.
Mm.
Moving on. Let's talk about your pregnancy.
I think what Dione meant was...
She knows what I meant. Can we maybe take a break now?
No. Dione, during your pregnancy
you suffered from a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum.
Is that correct? Mm-hm.
Please describe your symptoms.
Nausea, vomiting, weight loss.
Perfect if you're a supermodel,
challenging if you're running a billion-dollar project.
But she got through it like the trooper she is. Mm.
COMPUTER VOICE: Voice note. Dione Sinclair.
11:05, December 3rd, 2017.
DIONE: 'Off to NCT class. Please kill me now!
'Some of the women are so buzzed to be knocked up.
'I feel like I'm a different species.'
COMPUTER VOICE: 13:42.
'Miss overly friendly just asked if I'm having my first.
'I told her, "And my fucking last!"
'Her face was hilarious.'
COMPUTER VOICE: 17:43.
'Fucking baby-on-board badges! Why?
'Might have one made up that says "Energy sucking vampire on board".
'David would lose it.' DAVID CHUCKLES
Why would you say all that?
Because it's how I felt at the time.
According to your daughter's voice journal dated the 5th of June,
you shared some of these feelings with her.
Do you have any recollection of that conversation?
Hang on, you were talking about this when she was seven?
Well, she was always inquisitive, you know that.
I still should have been involved in the conversation.
Do you remember the conversation? Well, it was a long time ago.
Perhaps this will jog your memory.
COMPUTER VOICE: Teah Sinclair voice journal.
12:06, June 5th, 2025.
TEAH: 'Mummy and I talked about her pregnancy.
'Sounds messed up.
'Can't believe she went through so much to bring me into this world.'
And no doubt, Dee went on to explain that Teah wasn't to blame
and she shouldn't feel any form of residual guilt.
Actually, I didn't need to.
I seem to remember she felt you were to blame.
She what?
Please elaborate as to why Teah felt her father was to blame.
Hang on, no. I wasn't to blame, all right?
In a nutshell, because he's a man, he produces semen, and...
well, semen made me pregnant.
DAVID SCOFFS She asked me a question.
I gave her an honest answer,
which is the "David child-rearing philosophy", as I recall.
Yeah, even so, the fact that my sperm had been weaponised.
Trust me, no-one is suggesting your penis is a weapon.
Returning to this particular conversation.
COMPUTER VOICE: Teah Sinclair voice journal.
12:08, June 5th, 2025.
TEAH: 'Mummy then said
'that she occasionally regrets bringing a child into this world,
'but never regretted being my mother.'
You actually said that?
Fuck's sake, why don't you ring the dinner bell, Dione?
You're serving us up on a plate here.
Our daughter deserved to know the truth,
no matter how provocative or challenging that may be.
In my opinion, a concept challenging for a seven-year-old to take in.
No, not if the seven-year-old has an IQ of...
We'll get to Teah's mental development and growth
in due course.
When are you going to tell us what Teah has been accused of?
When it's relevant.
Why don't we take that break now?
Interview paused.
COMPUTER VOICE: 15:58 and 27 seconds.
TANNOY: 'Welcome to the Office of Judicial Inquisition.
'Fighting for the truth. The Office of Judicial Inquisition.'
GUARD: It's time to go back.
Is, er, is Teah close by?
I just wanna tell her, you know, everything's gonna be all right.
Are you a parent? Not yet.
It's not an easy gig.
Maybe it's not supposed to be.
We loved her at first sight. We?
I thought the concept of "love at first sight" wasn't a real thing.
Dione, you returned to work just one week after giving birth,
leaving David to assume the role of principal care provider.
I prefer the title "head of domestic operations".
It was only logical - Dee's career had reached a critical phase,
and I've always felt that a child needs a stay-at-home parent.
See, we're quite old-fashioned like that.
HE EXHALES
When you returned to work, how did you find the transition?
Erm, fairly tiring, but nothing I couldn't handle.
Any detachment, anxiety issues, postpartum depression?
If this is your way of asking whether I missed my baby,
then you have to understand
that my job requires a high degree of focus.
But when home, Teah received her undivided attention.
Can... Can you please stop trying to defend me?
If I was a man, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.
Yes, we would.
For the purposes of this inquisition,
gender is inconsequential.
Years zero to three,
testing confirms Teah is non-neurodiverse.
Year four, Teah undergoes a Stanford-Binet intelligence test...
registering in the top percentile range.
Yeah, we always knew she was really bright from the get-go.
She potty-trained herself...
David, trust me, she couldn't give a shit.
Three months later, you employed the services of Dr Claire Peters,
a child psychologist.
Why?
Er, Teah was having trouble sleeping.
She was having nightmares.
Don't all children? Not like hers.
Night after night, our little girl dreamt about the end of the world.
Dr Peters believed it was triggered
by the Bangladesh flood disaster.
No, she said it was a possibility.
200,000 people dead in three days,
and you allowed her to watch it on livestream.
Well, how was I to know she was gonna take it so badly?
You confused intellect with emotional maturity.
Did the therapy help? Up to a point, but...
..she wasn't the same. Oh, Dee, come on.
It's a fact. She changed.
In what sense?
In the sense that she became obsessed with global warming
and everything eco.
"Obsessed" is a little strong. Well...
How else would you describe a five-year-old who refuses to fly,
or travel in any non-electric vehicle,
who... who will only eat locally sourced foods,
or wear second-hand clothes?
Sounds like it was a bone of contention.
It was. It effectively took over our lives.
Well, more my life.
It's not an accusation - I'm just stating a fact.
Returning to the conversation you had with Teah
regarding your misgivings about motherhood.
You're twisting my words. Not your words.
COMPUTER VOICE: Teah Sinclair voice journal...
OK, OK. I get it. I get it.
TEAH: 'Mummy then said
'she occasionally regrets bringing a child...'
It doesn't mean I didn't want her!
'But never regretted being my mother.'
Whether that's true or not, some may conclude...
"Some" being you!
..that your candidness was part in factor
in formulating your daughter's world views.

DISTORTED AUDIO
SCRAMBLED VOICES
Would you like me to have a go?
TEACHER: 'Welcome, everybody... '
This video was taken at a school assembly when Teah was aged nine.
Oh, no, not this! 'Teah, you're up next.'
DAVID: 'You've got this, Teah!'
'At least pretend to be interested.'
'Hello, my name is Teah, and this is my truth of the week.
'Could all non-students who consider themselves
'an eco-advocate please stand?
'Now, remain standing, please, if you have children,
'or are in the process of producing one.'
'I thought she was gonna talk about ethical broccoli.'
'You are all fakes and hypocrites.
'By exercising your biological imperative,
'you're in fact contributing to ecocide.
'Humans are destroying this planet, and every child spawned
'is another resource-grabbing, CO2-emitting maggot,
'feeding on Mother Earth's twitching corpse.
'Thank you for your attention, and please, stop breeding immediately.'
BLEEP, AUDIO STOPS
She's always been very passionate.
She was a confirmed anti-natalist at age nine.
Our daughter's entitled to her beliefs.
BEEPING
If you'll please excuse me. Interview paused.
COMPUTER VOICE: 16:57 and 13 seconds.
The search team just found a burner phone in the house.
Cutting-edge tech, encrypted,
and the girl's fingerprints are all over it. Thoughts?
Well, she's obviously more radicalised than we thought.
My money's on an Earth Warrior cell.
Er, Eco Terrorism are trying to crack it now.
I'm still not seeing a connection between the victim and the girl,
much less a motive.
Yeah, well, Counter Terrorism couldn't give a shit.
They're ready to step in.
It's like the dad said - attitudes aren't born in a vacuum.
You've really got it in for those two.
Have you eaten today, Sarah?
I'll grab something later.
Don't I even get a thank you?
Interview resumed.
COMPUTER VOICE: 17:11 and nine seconds.
Aged 11 to 14, Teah excels at school,
sitting her GCSEs two years early,
obtaining the highest grades in all 12 subjects.
And then the wheels fell off.
Trust me, that's where Inquisitor Willis is heading now.
Am I right?
Teah then joined the extreme eco-action group,
the Earth Warriors.
This is followed by five cautions for trespass, aggravated trespass,
obstructing a police officer, criminal damage
and affray within 16 months.
But no actual convictions.
Indeed. Just like yourself.
I'd argue no crime was committed in the first place.
Teah was fighting to ensure the planet's survival.
What? Someone has to defend her.
You think you're defending Teah?
Yeah, you went on some of those demos
and got your collar felt, but come on, let's be honest,
you only did it to have something to talk about
at those god-awful meat-free, alcohol-free,
gluten-free dinner parties with your wanky friends.
She doesn't have to hear all this. No, but you do.
While you were jumping on the eco-bandwagon,
the Teah I knew was fading away.
And you were too busy playing "Dad of the Year" to even notice.
Yeah, at least I was present.
Which brings us to the now, and yesterday's incident.
What fucking incident?! What has Teah done now?
Allegedly. Hm?
During a search of your premises, we found a mobile device.
Very specialised and illegal to own without a licence.
I'm sorry, but what the hell has that got to do with our daughter?
Would you like to tell your wife, or shall I?
Tell me what?
What the fuck is she on about, David?
Don't look at her! I asked you the question.
I'm a police informant.
SHE LAUGHS
Is this some kind of a sick joke?
He's a "resting" landscape gardener for God's sake!
For the past two years, David has been acting
as an intelligence resource for our Security Services.
Oh, intelligence resource.
It's come to light when a breach
on the device's security alerted his handler.
A handler's someone...
Just, please don't even try to mansplain, or I... God.
If I hadn't cooperated, they'd have locked Teah up.
And what exactly did this "cooperation" entail?
I provided certain information from time to time.
What kind of information?
Meetings, dates of demos, that kind of thing.
So, Teah's friends, the ones who were arrested and went to prison...
It was them or Teah.
It appears your husband
has proved to be an invaluable intelligence tool.
Yeah, "tool" being the operative word!
Hence the leniency shown towards your daughter.
Yeah, and I'll get Teah out of this, just like I always have.
I'm afraid there's no more deals to be had.
You... You consoled Joe and Lexi
when Micah trashed that fertility clinic...
I had to maintain my cover. Oh, my...
Your cover? God, do you...?
Can you even hear yourself sometimes?
I was protecting our baby. No, you were enabling her.
Perhaps if she'd been arrested and punished two years ago,
we wouldn't be here now!
Well, excuse me for not wanting our only child
to be tossed into the fucking meat grinder!
Oh, my God. This is unreal.
You've never stuck at anything your whole life,
and now suddenly, you're a fucking spy!
I mean, how does that even happen?
Maybe I've finally achieved my full potential. Oh...
Apparently, you weren't as successful
at covering your tracks as you thought.
What are you talking about?
According to intercepts from your handler,
you've been under suspicion
with Earth Warriors themselves for over a month.
Your local committee even asked your daughter to spy on you,
which explains why we found her fingerprints on the device.
Yeah, and why she had that meltdown, why she called you a traitor.
When did this meltdown happen? Oh, it was two nights ago.
She left the house to stay with some friends.
She couldn't even look at David. I'd never seen her so upset.
You're loving this, aren't you?
Mm. According to this, the timeline doesn't correlate.
Teah found the device over three weeks ago.
No, that doesn't make sense.
Then two days ago, it appears Teah was instructed to surveil you.
It... The same day.
And according to this, not only did Teah follow you,
she tracked your whereabouts.
Bear with me, I'm just getting this through in real time.
10:30am, Dad visits The Bell Cafe.
11:30, Harbour Gym and Spa.
Well, I was... I was having a facial.
Since when do you have facials?
16:05...
12 Maple Close, Clapton.
Lieutenant, please come in. OVER TANNOY: 'Yes, Inquisitor.'
What's at 12 Maple Close?
David... please answer me.
DOOR OPENS
What's at 12 Maple Close, Clapton? DOOR CLOSES
Not "what" - who.
Aurora Miller?
The woman your husband's been having an affair with.
And who your daughter tried to murder yesterday.
I'd like to see my mum and dad now, please.
Ms Miller suffered a minor wound to the shoulder
before restraining your daughter.
Turns out, as well as being a yoga teacher,
she's also a mixed martial arts expert.
Oh, you're fucking a yoga teacher.
Could you be a bigger cliche?
How are they doing? "They"!
Yeah. Yeah, of course she'd be gender neutral.
Both mother and baby are fine.
Baby?
Ms Miller is seven months pregnant.
Oh, my God, you finally knocked out the second child.
Oh, God. Well, I hope it was worth it, you fucking...
..useless fucking waste of oxygen!
Sorry to interrupt.
Your daughter's asking to see you.
Come on.
Teah. Teah, don't... That's far enough.
Oh, OK. OK. All right. OFFICER: Sit down, please.
All right.
Teah, don't say another word until we've got a lawyer.
I'm locking this down.
I've already confessed.
You've done what?! What?! No. No. No.
Wait, she's made a mistake. A mistake?
Guys, relax. It's OK.
Nothing about this is OK.
What have you done to her?!
I could say the same to you.
I know what I'm doing. No, you just think you do.
Teah, you're unwell.
Actually, I've never felt more centred.
But... they're saying that you tried to kill your dad's...
No, I didn't. I didn't try to kill anyone.
I-I tried to liberate the poor parasite inside her womb.
There's a difference.
One is murder. Mine, it's... It was an act of mercy!
You don't mean that. She can't possibly mean that.
Oh, Dad... Not being horrible, Dad, but...
..you've never got me, or the cause.
To bring another child into this broken world, it's...
beyond wrong.
I shouldn't have called you a traitor the other night.
A traitor betrays something they believe in, but you...
SHE SIGHS ..you're just a tourist.
Teah's pleaded guilty to attempted child destruction.
No, no. The baby's fine. It doesn't matter.
The act alone still carries a life sentence.
Please say that isn't true. You coerced her into this.
Right, we're gonna get the best lawyers in the country.
We need to think about damage limitation now, Teah.
What I did was damage limitation, Mum!
Did they use us to try and threaten you?
No. My... No.
Mum, OK, it's nothing to do with you.
None of this has anything to do with you or Dad, OK?
Like I told the Inquisitor earlier, this is on me.
I'd like to go now.
Don't hate on each other too much.
I'll let you fill them in on the rest.
Teah. Teah, Teah.
Teah! Teah, wait.
OFFICER: Whoa. Sit down. Teah!
Please, no, Teah! I love you, Teah!
Please don't do this! We love you.
You can't... No, please.
We love you. So prove it.
Let me finally find peace.
No, Teah... Don't do this! Please!
Teah! Teah!
No! DOOR CLOSES
Fuck off!
DIONE SIGHS
Well, what's going to happen to her now?
Teah's requested she serve her sentence in punitive coma.
No. No. No, no, no, no. We... No.
No. We-We won't allow that.
No, that's barbaric. We won't allow that!
Actually, Teah felt it was a blessing...
..not to have to watch the world die in front of her.
Either way, it's an option that won't be afforded to either of you.
Er, an option? What do you mean? I don't understand.
Dione Sinclair, David Sinclair...
you are hereby charged with gross psychological,
emotional and empathetic neglect of a minor.
You will be remanded into custody pending prosecution
as sanctioned by the Milligan Act of 2030.
LOCK WHIRRS, DOOR THUDS
She looks so beautiful. So perfect.
She left us some graffiti.
"So long, and thanks for all the fish."
What does that mean?
It's a line from The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.
It's the dolphins' final message to humanity
when they realised the Earth was doomed to destruction.
What if...?
We'll do better, my love.
We'll do better.
