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 cup 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.
03:44She 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?
05:38Thanks.
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.
06:09Yeah.
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.
06:30They will not be cutting 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...
06:44Not a problem at all.
06:49I will pay you back the second I can.
06:51It's no rush.
06:52It's what I'm here for.
06:56When Ryan told me he was moving back into Carlos...
06:58And then...
07:00you blackmailed him.
07:02To pay you back?
07:04Yeah.
07:05To pay 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, so come on.
07:29What's all this about?
07:33I can't do it.
07:35You can't?
07:36You can't do what?
07:38Be a grown-up.
07:40What do you mean?
07:43All this.
07:44All what?
07:45All this.
07:49It's like every day, there's some...
07:51A new bill.
07:54I turned the fridge off because there's an outing it.
07:57I've got no money on my electric card anyway and I'm freezing.
08:02I'm freezing all the time.
08:05I'm sleeping in my coat.
08:06I'm covered in old blankets and anything else I can find.
08:09I'm really behind on the rent.
08:12I can't do it. I can't...
08:14I can't live like this. I can't be an adult.
08:16Hey, hey, we've spoke about this.
08:18I've got cash.
08:19But I already owe you loads.
08:21No.
08:22I do.
08:23I knew when I lent you that money
08:25that I might not see it again.
08:27And that's fine.
08:28It's not.
08:30If you can pay me back one day...
08:32Brilliant.
08:33But I never expected you to.
08:37It's not right.
08:40Well...
08:41Hey, I know I've bored you to death with my life lessons.
08:46But as your self-appointed life coach,
08:48you should know by now that the world is not fair.
08:53I get paid loads to do what I do.
08:58And it pains me that you're sleeping in your coat
09:00to keep warm while I can...
09:03I don't know, I can just go out and spend 20 quid on a bottle of wine.
09:0720 quid?
09:09It's a really nice one.
09:13Yeah, but...
09:14It's 20 quid.
09:22Look, I don't know you really well,
09:25but what I do know is if you were in the same position as me,
09:28you'd help someone out too, wouldn't you?
09:30You would.
09:34Yeah, I like to think I could.
09:39But I've never...
09:42I could never imagine being able to do that.
09:47Oh, you will.
09:52You will.
09:53You're too good.
09:55And nice.
09:56Don't.
09:57Good things happen to good people, I swear.
10:00But that's just it.
10:03What if I'm not good?
10:05You know what?
10:06If bad things happen to me, because I deserve it.
10:08Don't go down that road again.
10:09It's just so hard.
10:12It's so hard.
10:15And I can't see how things are ever going to get any easier.
10:19Of course it will.
10:21You've got me in your coat.
10:22You've got me in your coat.
10:24Of course it will.
10:25You've got me in your corner, haven't you?
10:29Look, this is no big deal for me.
10:33I've got money.
10:36So I'm going to put some credit on your electricity card,
10:39I'm going to get some food for your fridge
10:41and I'm going to pay your rent.
10:45No buts.
10:46I'm going to sort this for you, OK?
10:50OK?
10:54I don't know if I'll be able to pay you back.
11:00And I...
11:01I don't care if you don't.
11:10I wish there was something I could do for you.
11:13Something to say thank you.
11:25It's OK.
11:29It's going to be alright.
11:54It's OK.
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.
12:29I'd never pay for it.
12:31I wouldn't charge for it either but...
12:34you 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?
12:45Guilt money, whatever, but...
12:48it's what you did.
12:51It might have made you feel better
12:52but it just made me feel worse.
12:55I...
12:57I helped you.
12:58I...
12:59No!
13:22Oh, sorry.
13:24It's OK.
13:31I've always...
13:33I've always been good to you.
13:36I always treated you right.
13:47You're lying.
13:49To yourself, maybe.
13:51You're lying.
13:53I should know.
13:57I'm an expert at it.
14:02Because I was lying to you.
14:06Lying to myself.
14:09Lying to others.
14:13I lied to everyone.
14:16But at least I knew I was lying.
14:18You didn't.
14:20You 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?
14:31I don't have time for games.
14:32I'm not playing games.
14:34No!
14:35I've got you!
14:36Get off me, Joel!
14:46Lauren...
14:48I 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.
15:05Bye.
15:09Come on!
15:11And then you'd buy me things to make yourself feel better.
15:14Might as well have been a collar.
15:16It makes you look nicer, doesn't it?
15:21A little bit more respectable.
15:26Almost.
15:27Dressing me up.
15:29Like one of your playthings.
15:31You weren't complaining at the time.
15:36You are proper deluded.
15:38You were happy.
15:39I wasn't!
15:40Why are you rewriting what went on?
15:43I was scared of you.
15:48You were scared of me?
15:51Why were you scared of me?
15:56You hurt me.
16:03Come on.
16:04You know, you loved it a bit rough.
16:07Come on.
16:08You know, you loved it a bit rough.
16:11No girl has ever loved what you did to me.
16:15And I asked you to stop.
16:19But you won't listen.
16:21You won't listen.
16:24I asked you so many times.
16:27So many times.
16:29Shh!
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.
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.
17:19If you're lying right behind.
17:21If you know you're doing the right thing.
17:23Right, Bobby.
17:28You're dirty mouth.
17:31You don't make a sound without my say so.
17:34Understood?
17:38You never hate me.
17:43Like you.
17:44Don't listen, please.
17:46Please, please.
17:50We have to make time for this.
17:52I've been calling you for days.
17:54Yeah, 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.
18:06Doing 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 that I was ready for what you wanted.
18:29I said.
18:36Oh.
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.
18:56Go now or I'll call the police.
18:59Police.
19:00What exactly will you tell them?
19:03That you're trying to kill me.
19:05I'm not trying to kill you.
19:07Get out.
19:09The police wouldn't believe you anyway.
19:12Your word against mine.
19:14Well, Dee Dee would believe me.
19:18Help.
19:19Help.
19:26Don't say her name.
19:33Don't say her name.
19:51Lauren.
19:52Lauren.
20:02Lauren.
20:32Fuck.
20:57And that's why I had to disappear.
21:00I had to.
21:03Are you to kill me?
21:05No.
21:07Sorry.
21:09Are we playing a game?
21:12Is that what we're doing?
21:14Was I getting it rough because that's what I liked?
21:16Is that what you think?
21:18No.
21:20You left me for dead.
21:24You just left.
21:28All of this.
21:30It stops now.
21:33I'm ending this.
21:37Where 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.
22:22Don't be silly.
22:24No, don't.
22:25Don't.
22:26Don't.
22:27Don't.
22:28No.
22:31No.
22:33No.
22:59Is...
23:02Is it mine?
23:07I haven't slept with anyone else.
23:10I don't put it about, despite what you might think.
23:15How?
23:16I mean, how far gone are you?
23:19Is it too late to make it go away?
23:23I'm just wondering how.
23:25I'm just wondering how I, if...
23:29Five months.
23:30Five months?
23:40Have you told anyone about it?
23:44I haven't got anyone else to tell.
23:49That's a relief.
23:52No, I...
23:54So how come you've let it get this far?
23:57I 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.
24:24This might have had something to do with you at the start,
24:26but it's got nothing to do with you now.
24:30OK.
24:31It's mine.
24:36I feel him move.
24:42Him?
24:47Or her.
24:54They're moving around inside me, and it's...
24:59For the first time since I...
25:02I can't remember.
25:06I've got... I've got somewhere.
25:10I've got someone.
25:16Lauren.
25:18We have to talk about this.
25:20Don't talk about...
25:21OK.
25:22Look, 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.
25:44Me, I...
25:46I was in a total state.
25:49I legged it from the flat.
25:51I ran as fast as I could.
25:55Yeah, I suppose I could have just called for an ambulance straight away,
25:58but I don't know, I wasn't thinking straight.
26:01But then I saw this ambulance heading along the road.
26:04I ran towards it, waving my arms around, calling for it to stop.
26:07I was so desperate to get help.
26:10To get you out of the flat, but I didn't know what to do.
26:14I was running around like a headless chicken.
26:19They must have had an urgent call.
26:21They put their sirens on and they sped off before they saw me.
26:28Then I came to my senses and I realised I could just call for an ambulance.
26:34But I couldn't find my phone.
26:37I thought I must have dropped it when I was running around.
26:42So I ran back to the flat, to you.
26:45To you.
27:15To you.
27:40But the door was locked.
27:42I ran, 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!
27:55No!
28:10Then I thought you might not be there.
28:13I thought you might have gone to the hospital.
28:17I searched everywhere for you.
28:19No, no, no, no!
28:26SHE PANTS
28:33Hey, we're at home this weekend. Everton?
28:36Should totally smash them, right? I mean, on paper.
28:39Oh, well, that's the thing, we don't play on paper, do we?
28:41Tell me about it.
28:43Oh, well, it should be a busy weekend.
28:45Days, 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.
29:08I flipped out and I hurt you.
29:10I know that.
29:12And I hate myself so...
29:15You should.
29:18I mean, it was no-one else's fault, was it?
29:20I ain't done out to deserve that.
29:25No-one deserves what you did.
29:29No-one deserves getting spanked over the head with a massive lump of wood,
29:33not just once.
29:36You hit me. Again.
29:38And again.
29:39I'm so sorry. I've got issues.
29:41You think?
29:42I've got issues that I need to work on and I've already started.
29:46I have.
29:49I'm, erm...
29:51I'm seeing a counsellor now.
29:53And...
29:55she's helping me work through these feelings.
30:02You're getting off hurting women?
30:09I shouldn't have hurt you.
30:11I shouldn't...
30:12I shouldn't have hurt you. I shouldn't...
30:15And this...
30:16This is no excuse.
30:18But I'm... I'm...
30:21I messed up.
30:26All the time we were together, eh?
30:29And I was giving you the worldly, wise voice of experience,
30:32telling you how you should live your life.
30:36I had no right.
30:37I had no right.
30:45I've never told anyone this before, but...
30:51when I was a kid,
30:53I found out my mum was having an affair.
30:56I saw it with my own eyes.
30:58My mum with another man.
31:02And my dad must have found out about it too.
31:04And, well, he went downhill.
31:07From there, he got depressed.
31:09Like...
31:11properly depressed.
31:22Roy?
31:23It's OK.
31:25Hello, Laura.
31:27No.
31:28Oh, it's Nina.
31:30Hello.
31:31Hello.
31:34Lauren.
31:40You probably thought my life was all sunshine and rainbows
31:44in comparison to yours, but...
31:47my dad, he's better now.
31:49But...
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.
31:59My mum must have known about it.
32:02He told me not to tell her.
32:04He threatened me, but she must have known,
32:06she must have, but she did nothing.
32:10This therapy,
32:12counselling, made me realise that this is where it all started.
32:20In my head, my mum destroyed my dad
32:23and then she chose not to protect me when he started to hurt me.
32:28When I...
32:31lost it with you...
32:36that's what was going on on the inside.
32:41But...
32:43I know now.
32:45And I'm changing...
32:48I'm changing my thinking, I'm sorting myself out.
32:51I swear to you, Lauren, I swear I will never...
32:54I swear to you, Lauren, I swear I will never...
32:57lay a finger on you again.
32:59Ever.
33:07So, erm...
33:10go on.
33:12Let's get out of here.
33:16Please, Lauren, let's...
33:18let's go somewhere where we can talk properly.
33:21Give me this chance and you won't regret it.
33:25Let me make amends.
33:31Please.
33:51Rest.
33:52You need to rest.
33:55I saw Lauren.
33:57You saw Lauren?
33:59Here, here, she was here.
34:03No.
34:04Roy, Lauren's not been here.
34:07Lauren...
34:09was here.
34:10I've been with you the whole time and I've not seen Lauren or anyone else.
34:14It was before...
34:15before you...
34:17before you came.
34:21Lauren was here.
34:32Excuse me.
34:33Sorry to bother you, but I was just wondering if anyone has been in to see my uncle before me.
34:37You're his immediate family? There's no one else?
34:40Yeah, just me.
34:41And I imagine they didn't allow you in until he was comfortable?
34:44Yeah, yeah, that's right.
34:45Then no one else would have been here before you.
34:47Oh, OK. Thank you.
34:52Thank you.
35:04What are you thinking?
35:07Tell me, please.
35:12I'm thinking...
35:16that 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.
35:22You'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.
35:49I lay there, holding my breath,
35:51praying that you'd go.
35:55And when you did...
35:58When the door closed and I dared to,
36:00I got up and I left.
36:02Without a second thought of what I needed or where I was going.
36:05I'm sorry.
36:06I liked it away.
36:08Away from...
36:10from my home.
36:14The one place where I belonged.
36:17I finally, once in my life, I belonged somewhere.
36:24Friends.
36:26People that cared about me.
36:30Everyone except you.
36:33I had to leave that.
36:36Everything good in my life because of you.
36:44I had blood.
36:46Pouring from my head.
36:48My head was soaked with it and I just ran.
36:52Terrified that you'd be round the next corner.
36:54I couldn't breathe.
36:57My head hurt.
37:00My chest hurt.
37:03Every little bit of me...
37:06hurt.
37:12I had to keep running.
37:15I was tired.
37:19But I couldn't stop.
37:24Eventually I got into town.
37:27Started 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.
37:59It felt like I'd only started breathing normally again once we got on the motorway.
38:05And I started thinking about what had happened.
38:09And I just cried.
38:12But I couldn't...
38:14I couldn't stop.
38:16The tears were just pouring from my face.
38:21It couldn't work out. I'd got myself into this mess.
38:24But I knew it was my fault.
38:27Yeah, I was the one that made you flip out
38:30because I didn't give you what you wanted.
38:34But then you always just did what you wanted anyway.
38:38So I thought maybe it wasn't that after all.
38:41Maybe it was because I hinted I'd blackmail you.
38:46I mean, you knew I could do it.
38:48You knew I'd done it to Ryan.
38:50That thought never entered my mind.
38:52Oh, I know.
38:54Because you exploded.
38:57You suddenly lost it.
39:01And that's something else, that.
39:03An immediate reaction.
39:05Not a calculated thing.
39:09But I figured it out
39:13when I was sat at the back of that coach.
39:18That the reason you snapped
39:24was because I said her name.
39:28Dee.
39:31Dee Dee.
39:33You lay one finger on me
39:35and I will scream this entire building down.
39:45She's mad, isn't it?
39:47Her name.
39:49Out of my mouth.
39:51Your beautiful girlfriend's name
39:55out of the mouth of your dirty little bit on the side.
40:01SHE SNIFFS
40:03How 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?
40:15But that's what I did that day, innit?
40:19That's what I did wrong.
40:24Do you know what, days, weeks after it happened,
40:28do you know what blinding realisation I had, Joel?
40:32I hadn't done anything.
40:38I had done nothing to deserve nearly getting beaten to death.
40:42Cos nobody deserves that.
40:44Nobody.
40:47It had absolutely nothing to do with me.
40:52But it 100% had everything to do with you.
40:58Look at me.
41:00Look at me!
41:03You're the problem.
41:06Not me.
41:08You.
41:10So, no, I don't want to talk to you.
41:14And I don't want you anywhere near me and my baby.
41:17Mine. Not yours.
41:21Because deep down...
41:24..I 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.
41:39Where are you going?
41:41Oh, my...
41:43Oh!
41:45Oh!
41:58Oh, God.
42:16Door closing.
42:19Door opening.
42:21Door closing.
42:28Door closing.
42:37Hi, baby, OK?
42:39I'm good. Where are you?
42:41Just heading into work. Problem with some admin, really.
42:44Boring thing, you know.
42:46Oh, isn't it weird?
42:48Oh, yeah, I wish it could.
42:50I've got an old client hanging around outside the building.
42:52She's got a bit of a grudge.
42:54She got a custodial back in the day.
42:56A nightmare, yeah.
42:59Are you running?
43:01The sooner I sort this problem, the sooner I can rest.
43:11Are you sure you're OK, though?
43:13Yeah, yeah.
43:15All right, well, do you want me to come round
43:17on a mercy mission with some food and a bottle of wine?
43:19Oh, you know, that would be lovely.
43:21But? But I don't know how long I'm going to be.
43:23I might be half an hour. I might be...
43:25An all-nighter.
43:27OK, OK, we'll just not work too hard, yeah?
43:30Yeah.
43:32Yeah.
43:34I love you, too.
43:39Go, go, go!
43:41Just go! Drive!
43:44No, stop! Drive! Drive!
43:46Stop!
43:49Stop!
44:19Stop!
