00:00I'm sorry.
00:30I'm sorry I couldn't come back until now.
00:33I couldn't.
00:36I was so scared.
00:40And at first I sort of just hoped it'd all blow over.
00:44But then I was scared of what might happen to me.
00:51I'm sorry.
00:54I saw her online.
00:56I saw those lads attacking you and I was beside myself.
01:01And now this.
01:06I had to come and see you.
01:09I had to come back.
01:12To see if he was...
01:14Hello.
01:16I suppose you're the niece.
01:18He's been asking if you can come and see him.
01:22Is he going to be alright?
01:24He's already a lot better than when he was brought in.
01:28Can I get you a cuppa or anything?
01:31No, I've got to.
01:34Holler if you change your mind.
01:37Try and get some rest.
01:39We'll look after him.
01:41Thanks.
01:54Take care.
02:25It's alright, it's alright.
02:28I'm not going to hurt you.
02:30I just want to talk to you, OK?
02:32Lauren, just talk.
02:35I'm not going to hurt you, you've got nothing to be afraid of.
02:38Alright?
02:40OK?
02:45Let me out.
02:47I just want to talk to you.
02:48Let me go!
02:49Lauren, please.
02:51I am so sorry.
02:53For dragging you in here.
02:55I had to talk to you and I didn't want to risk...
02:58I only want to talk.
03:01What do you want?
03:04To see you.
03:06To see how you're doing.
03:09I want to help you.
03:14Help?
03:16Yeah.
03:17Yeah.
03:20That's all I've ever wanted.
03:23To look after you.
03:33Joel Dearing, duty solicitor.
03:36I'm your knight in shining armour.
03:41My mum's a million miles away.
03:44And she won't want anything to do with me.
03:48My dad's in prison.
03:51I don't want anything to do with him.
03:55Now...
03:57I don't mean for this to sound harsh.
03:59It may help me get you out of here, but you...
04:02don't have anyone.
04:05I'm so sorry, Lauren.
04:08Everything you've been through and...
04:10and now this.
04:11It's no wonder you temporarily took leave of your senses.
04:18I swear I will do my best to get you out of here.
04:21And when you're out, here's my personal number.
04:24Call me any time, day or night.
04:27I won't let you down.
04:32My knight in shining armour, yeah?
04:34Yeah.
04:39Dee Dee couldn't believe I'd got you off on a caution.
04:43She was so impressed.
04:45The first time we met...
04:48not even a year ago and now, look at us, we're...
04:51planning on getting married.
04:55So please don't mess that up for us, eh?
05:00For her.
05:03Did you have any plans on me back then?
05:07When you walked into that interview room and you saw me all alone?
05:11No family? Friends?
05:14Plans? I...
05:15I don't know what you mean.
05:16You were simply a client who needed legal assistance, that's all.
05:21Right.
05:23So that knight in shining armour thing...
05:25doesn't sound like usual solicitor stuff.
05:28I was showing you...
05:30a bit of kindness.
05:35A little housewarming present?
05:38Oh, thanks.
05:39I'll open it now, eh? Have you got a corkscrew?
05:41Oh, er...
05:42I don't know.
05:51I'll have to get you one.
05:54Cheers.
05:55And...
05:56thanks for yesterday.
05:58I was convinced I'd be charged.
06:00No problem.
06:06Er...
06:07I should be making tracks.
06:09Yes.
06:10Well, you've got my number now.
06:12Mm-hm.
06:13Call me if you need anything.
06:14Legal, corkscrew, whatever.
06:17See you.
06:18Laters.
06:28Today they've announced rail tickets,
06:30which will not be coming after us.
06:32This is something that we on this show and you, our listeners...
06:36So I thought I had this.
06:37This chance of making some money.
06:39You know, like a little job on the side.
06:41It's not happening now and I didn't know where else I could ask, so...
06:45Not a problem at all.
06:50I will pay you back the second I can.
06:52It's no rush.
06:53It's what I'm here for.
06:57When Ryan told me he was moving back into Carlos...
06:59And then...
07:01you blackmailed him.
07:03To pay you back?
07:04You blackmailed him?
07:06To pay you back.
07:08I was desperate.
07:10And then I helped you.
07:13Without the goodness of your heart, though, was it?
07:15Of course it was.
07:21What other reason could there have been?
07:26OK.
07:27So come on.
07:29What's all this about?
07:31I can't do it.
07:33I can't.
07:34You can't do what?
07:37Be a grown-up.
07:39What do you mean?
07:41All this.
07:43All what?
07:44All this.
07:48It's like every day, the summit.
07:50A new build.
07:53I turned the fridge off because there's now in it.
07:56I've got no money on my electric card anyway.
07:58And I'm freezing.
08:00I'm freezing all the time.
08:03I'm sleeping in my coat.
08:04I'm covered in old blankets and anything else I can find.
08:07I'm really behind on the rent.
08:10I can't do it.
08:11I can't.
08:12I can't live like this.
08:13I can't be an adult.
08:14Hey, hey.
08:15We've spoke about this.
08:16I've got cash.
08:17But I already owe you loads.
08:18No.
08:19I do.
08:21I knew when I lent you that money
08:23that I might not see it again.
08:25And that's fine.
08:26It's not.
08:28If you can pay me back one day, brilliant.
08:30But I never expected you to.
08:34It's not right.
08:37Well, hey.
08:39I know I've bored you to death with my life lessons.
08:43But as your self-appointed life coach,
08:46you should know by now that the world is not fair.
08:50I get paid loads to do what I do.
08:54And it pains me that you're sleeping in your coat
08:56to keep warm while I can...
08:59I don't know.
09:00I can just go out and spend 20 quid on a bottle of wine.
09:0420 quid?
09:06It's a really nice one.
09:10Yeah, but...
09:11It's 20 quid.
09:19Look, I don't know you,
09:22Look, I don't know you really well,
09:25but what I do know is,
09:27if you were in the same position as me,
09:29you'd help some out too, wouldn't you?
09:32You would.
09:37Yeah, I like to think I could.
09:42But I've never...
09:45I could never imagine being able to do that.
09:49Oh, you will.
09:54You will.
09:56You're too good.
09:57And nice.
09:58Don't.
10:02Good things happen to good people, I swear.
10:04But that's just it.
10:07What if I'm not good?
10:10You know what? If bad things happen to me, because I deserve it.
10:13Don't go down that road again.
10:14It's just so hard.
10:15So hard.
10:18But I can't see how things are ever going to get any easier.
10:23Of course it will.
10:24You've got me in your corner, haven't you?
10:28Look, this is no big deal for me.
10:32I've got money.
10:35So I'm going to put some credit on your electricity card,
10:38I'm going to get some food for your fridge,
10:40and I'm going to pay your rent.
10:42No buts.
10:43I'm going to sort this for you, OK?
10:47OK?
10:51I don't know if I'll be able to pay you back.
10:57And I... I don't care if you don't.
11:07I wish there was something I could do for you.
11:10I wish there was something I could do for you.
11:13Something to say thank you.
11:28It's OK.
11:31It's going to be all right.
11:39OK.
12:10I should.
12:11Yeah.
12:17I'll get some cash for you tomorrow.
12:20Sort you out.
12:24You're making it like I was paying you for it.
12:28I don't need to pay for it, I'd never pay for it.
12:31I wouldn't charge for it either, but you always give me cash when we did it.
12:35Don't be so disgusting.
12:36I'm just saying it how it was.
12:39That's what happened.
12:41You can't say it didn't, right?
12:45Gold money, whatever, but...
12:48It's what you did.
12:50It might have made you feel better, but it just made me feel worse.
12:56I... I helped you.
12:58I...
12:59No!
13:09I...
13:23Oh, sorry.
13:30I've...
13:32I've always been good to you.
13:35I always treated you right.
13:40SHE BREATHES HEAVILY
13:46You're lying.
13:48To yourself, maybe, but you're lying.
13:52I should know.
13:56I'm an expert at it.
14:01Cos I was lying to you.
14:05Lying to myself.
14:09Lying to others.
14:13I lied to everyone.
14:16But at least I knew I was lying.
14:18You didn't.
14:19You were thinking.
14:21You were nice.
14:22No!
14:23Are you messing me around?
14:24No, I'm not.
14:25You are!
14:26I don't want to do this!
14:29Are you playing games?
14:31No.
14:32I don't have time for games.
14:33I'm not playing games.
14:34No!
14:35I've got you!
14:36Get off me, Joel!
14:40Ow.
14:45Lauren...
14:48..I have 1,001 things that I need to be doing.
14:51So stop messing me around!
14:56Come on.
15:02I won't be long.
15:05Well...
15:10..come on.
15:12And then you'd buy me things to make yourself feel better.
15:17Might as well have been a collar.
15:18It makes you look nicer, doesn't it?
15:23A little bit more respectable.
15:28Almost.
15:29Dressing me up.
15:31Like one of your playthings.
15:33You weren't complaining at the time.
15:36You are proper deluded.
15:39You were happy.
15:40I wasn't!
15:41Why are you rewriting what went on?
15:45I was scared of you.
15:51You were scared of me?
15:53Why?
15:54Why were you scared of me?
15:59You hurt me.
16:00You hurt me.
16:07Come on.
16:08You know, you...
16:09You loved it a bit, Ros.
16:11No girl has ever loved what you did to me.
16:15And I asked you to stop.
16:19You won't listen.
16:21You won't listen.
16:24I asked you so many times.
16:27So many times.
16:29So many...
16:30Shh.
16:38That day.
16:40That last day.
16:42The last time I saw you.
16:44You're listening to Weatherfield FM, online and on digital.
16:46The time is 2 o'clock on Friday 23rd February.
16:49Let's head right over to our newsroom.
16:59Foxy!
17:00I'm feeling fine.
17:02Don't feel sorry for me.
17:05Don't feel sorry for me.
17:07I'm feeling fine.
17:09Visually seething.
17:11Hoping that you'll leave.
17:12If you're feeling lost.
17:14If you're feeling scared.
17:16Remember it's you who put yourself here.
17:19I feel like I'm right behind.
17:21If you know you're doing the right thing.
17:23Right, Bobby.
17:25Oh!
17:27Shut your dirty mouth.
17:31You don't make a sound without my sleep sound.
17:34Understood?
17:38You never hate me.
17:42Like you.
17:44Now listen, please.
17:45Bab, please.
17:47Please.
17:50We have to make time for this.
17:51I've been calling you for days.
17:53Yeah, I know and I've been trying to find my time for you.
17:55Shut up.
17:57Liar.
18:00You don't want me coming here.
18:02You said you don't want me doing this.
18:08I'm in charge, not you.
18:13How dare you say you don't want this.
18:17Stop.
18:18No, I swear.
18:20I've been trying to find time so I was ready for what you wanted.
18:44Please, Joel.
18:45I don't like this.
18:46I don't want to do this anymore.
18:47You're scaring me.
18:49I don't want this.
18:50This is what we do.
18:53It's what I pay you for.
18:55Not anymore.
18:57Go now or I'll call the police.
18:59Oh, the police.
19:00What exactly will you tell them?
19:04That you're trying to kill me.
19:07I'm not trying to kill you.
19:08Get out!
19:10The police wouldn't believe you anyway.
19:13Your word against mine.
19:15Well, Dee Dee would believe me.
19:19Help!
19:20Help!
19:27Don't say her name!
19:50Lauren.
19:52Lauren!
20:19Fuck.
20:50Fuck.
20:57And that's why I had to disappear.
21:00I had to.
21:03Or you'd have killed me.
21:05No.
21:07Sorry.
21:09Or we were playing a game.
21:12Is that what we were doing?
21:14Was I getting it rough because that's what I liked?
21:16Is that what you think?
21:17No.
21:19You left me for dead.
21:23You just left.
21:27All of this,
21:29it stops now.
21:33I'm ending this.
21:36Where do you think you're going?
21:39Move.
21:47I thought you said you were scared of me.
21:51I was.
21:54But now I'm not.
21:56Oh.
21:58And why's that?
21:59You found some inner power?
22:01You go girl.
22:02I'm not scared of you.
22:04Because I'm not alone anymore.
22:06Oh.
22:08Have you got a boyfriend?
22:09Some big bloke who's going to treat you really nice?
22:13No.
22:14No?
22:16Then who?
22:21Move.
22:23Don't be silly.
22:24No, no.
22:25Don't.
22:26Don't.
22:27Don't.
22:30No.
22:32No.
22:45No.
23:03Is...
23:05Is it mine?
23:10Well, I haven't slept with anyone else.
23:12I don't put it about, despite what you might think.
23:17How?
23:18I mean, how far gone are you?
23:21Is it too late to make it go away?
23:24I'm just wondering how
23:27I, if...
23:29Five months.
23:30Five months?
23:31Five months.
23:41Have you told anyone about it?
23:45I haven't got anyone else to tell.
23:50That's a relief.
23:53No, I...
23:55So how come you've let it get this far?
23:58I mean, I thought you might not have wanted to keep it,
24:00considering what you said about how you felt about me.
24:02I didn't realise at first.
24:06Not for a bit.
24:10And then when I...
24:12When I did realise, when I knew for definite,
24:15I don't know, I just started to feel things
24:18I could never imagine feeling.
24:26This might have had something to do with you at the start,
24:28but it's got nothing to do with you now.
24:32OK. It's mine.
24:38I feel him move.
24:44Him?
24:49Or her.
24:54They're moving around inside me, and it's...
24:58For the first time since I...
25:01I can't remember.
25:06I've got... I've got someone.
25:09I've got someone.
25:15Lauren.
25:17We have to talk about this.
25:19Don't talk about...
25:21OK, look, I get it, I do.
25:25I get what you're saying, but, Lauren, please,
25:27if you'd let me, I would love to be a part of the day...
25:29No, you nearly killed me, then left me for dead.
25:31No, I didn't. I went to get help. I left to get help.
25:34You have to believe me.
25:36It's the absolute truth.
25:41After...
25:42Well, us. Me, I...
25:46I was in a total state.
25:49I legged it from the flat. I ran as fast as I could.
25:52Yeah, I suppose I could have just called for an ambulance straightaway,
25:55but I... I don't know, I wasn't thinking straight.
25:59But then I saw this ambulance heading along the road.
26:02I ran towards it, waving my arms around, calling for it to stop.
26:05I was so desperate to get help.
26:08To get you out of the flat, but I didn't know what to do.
26:12I was running around like a headless chicken.
26:18They must have had an urgent call.
26:20They must have had an urgent call.
26:21They put their sirens on and they sped off before they saw me.
26:29Then I came to my senses and I realised I could just call for an ambulance.
26:34But I couldn't find my phone.
26:38I thought I must have dropped it when I was running around.
26:43So I ran back to the flat, to you.
26:50I'm sorry.
27:20I'm sorry.
27:40But the door was locked.
27:41I couldn't understand, but then I presumed you were OK and you'd locked me out.
27:45I called to you through the letterbox, begging you to open the door.
27:48Telling you over and over again that I'd made a mistake.
27:51No! No, no, no!
27:54No!
28:10Then I thought you might not be there.
28:12I thought you might have gone to the hospital.
28:15I searched everywhere for you.
28:32Hey, we're at home this weekend. Everton?
28:34Shut up, you're smashing right.
28:36I mean, on paper.
28:37Oh, well, that's the thing, we don't play on paper, do we?
28:40Tell me about it.
28:42Oh, well, it should be a busy weekend.
28:44Days, weeks passed and I kept asking around for you.
28:50But nobody had heard anything.
28:53I thought you might have gone back down south to your mum's or a mate's somewhere.
28:59I was so worried about you.
29:03Yeah.
29:04Absolutely.
29:06I made a mistake.
29:09I flipped out and I hurt you.
29:11I know that.
29:12I know that.
29:14And I hate myself so...
29:16You should.
29:19I mean, it was no-one else's fault, was it?
29:22I ain't done how to deserve that.
29:27No-one deserves what you did.
29:31No-one deserves getting spanked over the head with a massive lump of wood, not just once.
29:38You hit me. Again. And again.
29:41I'm so sorry. I've got issues.
29:43You think?
29:44I've got issues that I need to work on and I've already started.
29:50I have.
29:52I'm, erm...
29:54I'm seeing a counsellor now.
29:57And...
29:59She's helping me work through these feelings.
30:05You're getting off hurting women?
30:12I shouldn't have hurt you. I shouldn't.
30:16And this is no excuse.
30:19But I'm...
30:21I'm messed up.
30:26All the time we were together, eh?
30:30And I was giving you the worldly, wise voice of experience, telling you how you should live your life.
30:37I had no right.
30:42I've never told anyone this before, but...
30:49When I was a kid, I found out my mum was having an affair.
30:54I saw it with my own eyes, my mum with another man.
30:59And my dad must have found out about it too.
31:02And, well, he went downhill from there.
31:06He got depressed, like...
31:08Properly depressed.
31:19Roy?
31:20It's OK.
31:22Hello, Lauren.
31:24No.
31:25No, it's Nina.
31:27Hello.
31:30Lauren.
31:31No.
31:34Lauren.
31:40You probably thought my life was all sunshine and rainbows in comparison to yours, but...
31:47My dad, he's better now, but...
31:51When he was at his lowest, he took it out on me.
31:55I was only a kid and he used me as a punching bag.
32:00My mum must have known about it.
32:03He told me not to tell her.
32:05He threatened me, but she must have known, she must have, but she did nothing.
32:11This therapy, counselling, made me realise that this is where it all started.
32:21In my head, my mum destroyed my dad and then she chose not to protect me when he started to hurt me.
32:30When I...
32:33..lost it with you...
32:38..that's what was going on on the inside.
32:43But I... I know now.
32:47And I'm changing...
32:50I'm changing my thinking, I'm sorting myself out.
32:53I swear to you, Lauren, I swear I will never lay a finger on you again.
32:59Ever.
33:07So, erm...
33:10..go on.
33:12Let's get out of here.
33:16Please, Lauren, let's...
33:18..let's go somewhere where we can talk properly.
33:22Give me this chance and you won't regret it.
33:26Let me make amends.
33:30Please.
33:49Rest. You need to rest.
33:53I saw Lauren.
33:56You saw Lauren?
33:57You saw Lauren?
33:59Here, here, she was here.
34:03No, Roy, Lauren's not been here.
34:07Lauren...
34:09..was here.
34:10I've been with you the whole time and I've not seen Lauren or anyone else.
34:14It was before...
34:15..before you...
34:17..before you came.
34:21Lauren was here.
34:28Oh.
34:30Excuse me.
34:32Sorry to bother you,
34:33but I was just wondering if anyone has been in to see my uncle before me.
34:36You're his immediate family? There's no-one else?
34:39Yeah, just me.
34:40And I imagine they didn't allow you in until he was comfortable?
34:43Yeah, yeah, that's right.
34:44Then no-one else would have been here before you.
34:46Oh, OK. Thank you.
34:58SIGHS
35:04What are you thinking?
35:07Tell me, please.
35:12I'm thinking...
35:16..that I don't believe a single word that falls out of your mouth.
35:19It's the truth. You've got to be...
35:21No, no.
35:23You've said what you've had to say, and good for you,
35:25but I need you to get out of my way now.
35:27Please, Lauren...
35:28No, Joel!
35:30You tried to kill me.
35:35Have you any idea what that's like?
35:38I thought I was going to die.
35:41I laid there thinking I was dying.
35:44And if I weren't, then I soon would be if you knew I was alive.
35:48I lay there, holding my breath,
35:51praying that you'd go.
35:55And when you did...
35:58..when the door closed and I dared to,
36:00I got up and I left...
36:02..without a second thought of what I needed or where I was going.
36:05I'm sorry.
36:06I legged it away.
36:08Away from...
36:11..from my home.
36:14The one place where I belonged.
36:17I finally, once in my life, I belonged somewhere.
36:21Friends.
36:23People.
36:24That cared about me.
36:27Everyone except you.
36:30I had to leave that.
36:33Everything good in my life because of you.
36:41I had blood...
36:43..pouring from my head,
36:45and my hair was soaked with it.
36:47Pouring from my head, my hair was soaked with it,
36:50and I just ran.
36:52Terrified that you'd be round the next corner.
36:55I couldn't breathe.
36:58My head hurt.
37:00My chest hurt.
37:03Every little bit of me...
37:07..hurt.
37:12I had to keep running.
37:15I was tired.
37:19But I couldn't stop.
37:24Eventually, I got into town.
37:27I started asking people for money.
37:30A quid for a bed for a night.
37:33I knew it would risk it.
37:37But I had to keep my head down.
37:41It took hours.
37:45I ended up with enough to get on the coach.
37:49Where to?
37:54I got on the coach.
37:57I sat at the back.
37:58It felt like I'd only started breathing normally again
38:01once we got on the motorway.
38:04And I started thinking about what had happened.
38:08And I just cried.
38:11I couldn't...
38:13..I couldn't stop.
38:15The tears were just pouring from my face.
38:20It couldn't work out.
38:21I'd got myself into this mess, but I knew it was my fault.
38:25Yeah.
38:26Yeah, I was the one that made you flip out
38:28because I didn't give you what you wanted.
38:33But then you always just did what you wanted anyway.
38:37So I thought maybe it wasn't that after all.
38:41Maybe it was because I hinted I'd blackmail you.
38:45But you knew I could do it.
38:47You knew I'd done it to Ryan.
38:49That thought never entered my mind.
38:51Oh, I know.
38:52Cos you exploded.
38:56You suddenly lost it.
39:00And that's something else, that.
39:03An immediate reaction.
39:05Not a calculated thing.
39:09But I figured it out...
39:13..when I was sat at the back of that coach.
39:18That the reason you snapped...
39:24..was because I said her name.
39:27Didi.
39:29You lay one finger on me
39:31and I will scream this entire building down.
39:40She's mad, innit?
39:43Her name...
39:45..out of my mouth.
39:47Your beautiful...
39:49..girlfriend's name.
39:51Out of my mouth.
39:52Your beautiful...
39:54..girlfriend's name.
39:56Out of the mouth of your dirty little bit on the side.
40:04How dare I say her name?
40:07How dare I bring her and everything she means to you
40:11into your head when you're with me?
40:16But that's what I did that day, innit?
40:19That's what I did wrong.
40:24Do you know what?
40:25Days, weeks after it happened,
40:28do you know what blinding realisation I had, Joel?
40:33I hadn't done anything.
40:38I had done nothing to deserve nearly getting beaten to death.
40:43Cos nobody deserves that.
40:45Nobody.
40:48It had absolutely nothing to do with me.
40:53But it 100% had everything to do with you.
40:58Look at me.
41:00Look at me!
41:04You're the problem.
41:07Not me.
41:08You.
41:11So, no, I don't want to talk to you.
41:14And I don't want you anywhere near me and my baby.
41:17Mine.
41:18Not yours.
41:22Because deep down,
41:24I know how little you think of me.
41:28To you, I'm just a problem.
41:32Something to be gotten rid of.
41:35You're wrong.
41:40Where are you going?
41:41Agh!
41:42Agh!
41:43Agh!
41:44Agh!
41:45Agh!
41:46Agh!
41:47Agh!
41:59Oh, God.
42:11Oh, God.
42:16Door closing.
42:19Door opening.
42:27Door closing.
42:36Hey, baby, OK?
42:37I'm good. Where are you?
42:38Just heading into work.
42:39Problem with some admin, really.
42:41Boring thing, you know.
42:43Oh, couldn't it have waited?
42:46Oh, yeah, I wish it could.
42:48Just bumped into an old client hanging around outside the building.
42:51She's got a bit of a grudge.
42:53She got a custodial back in the day.
42:55A nightmare, yeah.
42:58Are you running?
42:59The sooner I sort this problem, the sooner I can rest.
43:09Are you sure you're OK, though?
43:11Yeah, yeah.
43:12All right, well, do you want me to come round on a mercy mission
43:15with some food and a bottle of wine?
43:17Oh, you know, that would be lovely.
43:19But?
43:20But I don't know how long I'm going to be.
43:22I might be half an hour, I might be an all-nighter.
43:25Hey, OK, it'll just not work too hard, yeah?
43:28Yeah.
43:29All right, love you.
43:31Love you, too.
43:33Love you, too.
43:38Go, go, go!
43:40Just go! Drive!
43:44Drive, stop!
43:45Drive!
43:46Stop!
