By the end of the third episode of ITV's Believe Me, Carrie (Miriam Petche) had decided to waive her anonymity in order to be a focal point for the John Worboys case in the hopes of encouraging more victims to come forward.
Laila uses the opportunity to inform the women that she was told by the police that the true number of Worboys's victims was up to 500, a harrowing and sobering thought. But nevertheless, with Harriet's help, the pair moved forward with their case against the Metropolitan Police under the Human Rights Act.
But how did the final episode of Believe Me unfold? Read on to find out.
Believe Me ending explained: What happened to Sarah and Laila?
As for Sarah and Laila, they meet with Harriet, who continues to gather evidence that the Metropolitan Police investigations into their allegations weren't effective at all. The facts are disappointing for Sarah and Laila but the evidence speaks for itself and Harriet says that QC Phillippa Kaufmann (Rachael Stirling) will be able to take on the case for them in court.
The women convene with Phillippa and they engage in a very heated meeting with the Metropolitan Police. A training programme is proposed for police officers, with the invitation extended to Sarah and Laila so that their experience can teach them. It's a metaphorical slap in the face for them and the pair of women are incensed to take their case further, with Harriet and Phillippa agreeing.
We then see Sarah call Laila some months later and inform her that they've won their case against the police and that the judge ruled that if it wasn't for the failures of the investigation into Sarah's initial allegations, Laila would not have been raped by Worboys. It's an emotional moment for the pair as they celebrate their win and their compensation – but it turns out it's an even bigger day as it's actually the day of Laila's engagement.
Neither her nor Laila were informed by anyone and they're, of course, distressed to learn that Worboys could be released back into public. With Phillippa and Harriet, they try to find out what the process was to reach the conclusion that Worboys is fit for release and conclude that they'll be going after a judicial review.
Harriet and Phillippa comb over the evidence at hand and find that Worboys has used a story about a relationship break-up as the basis of an explanation for his crimes, something they seek to tear apart. On the day of the court hearing, Laila bails and can't make it but Sarah goes along, facing her fears of riding in a black cab in order to get there in time. After an emotional hearing, the decision to free Worboys is overturned and we then see a happy Sarah enjoying time in her garden with her three children.
Things are a bit more sombre for Laila who is sat outside on her garden bench, clearly preoccupied with her thoughts. When her husband sits beside her and asks if she's okay, she takes that opportunity to finally tell him about her experience. We don't hear their conversation but instead, see him embrace Laila.
What happened to Worboys at the end of Believe Me?
He turns to a life of religion as he seeks solace in Christianity and now attends church. He meets with a forensic psychologist who is there to review his "progress" and Worboys says that he has now changed his stance on the case. He explains that he accepts full responsibility for his offences but when probed about why he's changed his mind, he cites his belief in God. He expresses feeling guilty about his offences and says that he's ready to start the sexual offenders treatment programme.
When we then see Worboys meeting with the psychologist again, he's reeling off a story about an ex-girlfriend and how their break-up impacted him so much. He says they rekindled a year later but that he found her drunk and just took her home to her mother's, but was furious about it.
Worboys returns to prison after his parole decision is quashed.
