Martha doesn't tell anyone that she's going to see Gary Rush in prison. Not Billy or Clive, who would probably offer to come with her. This is something she has to do alone.
Rush looks sullen in the small room she is allowed to see him in. Being a QC has its advantages. There are a couple of guards there for her protection. Martha sits across the table from Rush, who can't meet her eyes.
"What do you want?" he says finally, when she doesn't speak.
Martha doesn't know the answer to that. She supposes she wanted to see that Rush is no longer a threat to her, that he is as pathetic and unthreatening as he looks now.
"I liked you," he says plaintively, when she still doesn't speak.
"Is that why you punched me in the stomach?" Her voice finally comes out, anger flooding her. "Is that why you killed my unborn baby?" She was already having twinges before Rush had punched her, but he doesn't need to know that.
"You strung me along. You made me think you liked me."
"I did my job by defending you." Martha leans in, too angry to be scared any more. "You broke into my home, followed me around and then you attacked me."
"Cause I had just found out you were having another man's baby!"
Martha suddenly realises how pointless this is. Rush is insane, deluded. She can't reason with him or make him feel guilty.
"I'm leaving now." She gets to her feet. "If you really like me you'll plead guilty, so I don't have to give evidence. Otherwise I'll see you in court."
She can hear Rush yelling after her as she leaves, as he is restrained by the guards, but she doesn't listen to what he's saying. Outside, she lights a cigarette with trembling hands. She hates Rush for what he did to her, to Clive, to their baby, but most of all she hates him for making him doubt her life's work.
Innocent until proven guilty, she had told Nick, when he questioned her defending Rush. Four words to live by.
She puts her cigarette out and goes back to work.
