This is The Guardian.

Hello, it's Mike.

Today we bring you the third episode of the extraordinary story of Julia,

a woman who escaped modern slavery right here in the UK.

If you haven't listened to the first two episodes,

then I suggest you go back and listen to those first and then come back to this one.

And a warning before we start, this series includes references to suicidal thoughts

and descriptions of sexual exploitation and violence.

So take care when listening.

Do you think that he was expecting you?

I mean, he must have known that Julia had been taken away by the police.

Without a doubt, he wasn't expectant.

When the police break down the door in Sumbrian Thames, they find Julia alone.

She tells the detective, Martin, that he doesn't know who he's dealing with.

Her boss is a dangerous, but she wants to escape.

And she wants justice for what they've done to her.

Julia tells Martin, her boss, Alexander, is in Epsom.

She doesn't know the address exactly, but the view from the window is etched in her mind.

Her description is enough for Martin and his team to pinpoint a location.

So two days after he finds Julia, Martin pays Alexander a visit.

There was a lady just for the occasion waiting for a client.

She was in one room, which I can only describe as like a control centre.
