01:00I can't live without you, but this world will keep turning if you do.
01:09Would you even want me looking like a zombie?
01:15Would you even want me, want me, want me?
01:21Ooh, check out the shading on that horn.
01:30You really have a talent when it comes to drawing unicorns.
01:33It's Clemmie's.
01:34I know.
01:35I was, um...
01:37How is she?
01:40Kim's taking her to York for the day.
01:42Ooh, York.
01:43That's historical, educational.
01:46I wish I was you.
01:49What do you mean?
01:50Well, everything's so simple, isn't it?
01:53Brushing things aside.
01:55Moving on.
01:56Well, I've, uh...
01:57Never been one to dwell on things.
01:59I'm talking about how you were with me yesterday.
02:02Just admit it, Joe.
02:03You're ashamed of me.
02:04You're ashamed of my past.
02:05Okay, yeah, yeah.
02:05I do.
02:06I bury my head in the sand.
02:07I do.
02:08Um...
02:10But that is not because I'm ashamed of you.
02:15I can't begin to imagine what it was like.
02:20Tell me.
02:21We can talk about it.
02:23Okay.
02:26You'd be repulsed.
02:28By the world.
02:30By everyone else.
02:32Yes.
02:35Never you.
02:44I was still at school.
02:46Fifteen.
02:47I'd been in and out of care for years.
02:50I was just desperate to stand on my own two feet.
02:53And that's when I met Alex.
02:55Time to graft, poppet.
02:57Don't call me that.
02:59I'm sensing...
03:00Tetchy.
03:02My gran calls me it.
03:03Yeah.
03:03Give anyone the ick.
03:06Let's stick with Flossie then, eh?
03:08Is this what you call dressing nice?
03:10Sus.
03:12Hmm.
03:15Is that it?
03:17Quality.
03:18Not quantity.
03:19Valuable client.
03:20Likes the personal touch.
03:22He'll expect you to stick around for...
03:24Glass of Pinot.
03:28I don't think that.
03:30Smells of cat weed.
03:32Mojito.
03:33Alka-pop.
03:34He won't judge.
03:35I need this to go right, kid.
03:39Reputation is everything.
03:42Yeah.
03:46He seemed nice.
03:48He helped me out.
03:49Money and food.
03:50But then he got more into drugs and slowly things shifted.
03:57He started saying I had to do things to pay my way.
04:01Oh.
04:08Hi.
04:12Jimmy left some socks in the drawer.
04:14Oh, right.
04:15Well, I didn't notice.
04:16I'll go and have a look.
04:17Look, I know we're not officially speaking, but...
04:19I don't open it, Laurel.
04:27Oh, you silly cow.
04:28Come on, sit down.
04:29Come on.
04:35How's the house?
04:38Moist.
04:39Smells like mouldy mushroom soup.
04:43Gonna turn it on?
04:47Let's do it together.
04:49The first time it happened,
04:53I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
04:58Alex had a mate
05:00that he thought could get me some work.
05:05I didn't even twig what kind of work he was meaning
05:07until I got there.
05:09And he...
05:10He forced you to...
05:13Alex did.
05:14Not his mate.
05:17Who...
05:17I soon realised it wasn't even his mate at all.
05:20It was just some random bloke
05:22who got what he wanted
05:23and then chucked Alex 20 quid.
05:2720 quid.
05:28And Alex was laughing about it.
05:31Just so made up.
05:33Straight out to score.
05:38Are you wondering why I stuck around?
05:41I had nowhere else to go.
05:43I had no one to turn to.
05:44I just...
05:45I just...
05:46I felt trapped.
05:50Like I owed him something.
05:52It's so stupid.
05:55It's so weak.
05:56I just...
05:57And he was so sorry.
06:02Afterwards.
06:05He said he loved me.
06:09And then he offered me more drugs to help me forget.
06:13Which it did, obviously.
06:15And he got you hooked?
06:16I would give anything
06:18to go back
06:21and tell that gullible...
06:22Scared.
06:24Vulnerable.
06:25Overtrusting.
06:26Child.
06:28Just...
06:29Not to do it.
06:33To walk away.
06:35Turn back.
06:37Run.
06:38Get help.
06:40But that's not how life works, is it?
06:42Can I help you, love?
06:53Er...
06:54Reasent me.
06:56Oh.
06:58Come in.
07:08I wasn't sure who to expect.
07:09Well, you're a new face.
07:14What do you make of him?
07:16What, Ray?
07:17Er...
07:18Yeah.
07:19He's all right.
07:21He's a right div.
07:29He sent this for...
07:31For you.
07:32Ta.
07:33I'll just come from the meeting from hell.
07:37Who'd be a school inspector, eh?
07:38I'll just come from the meeting.
07:41Gotcha.
07:45I bet I hated school even more than you do.
07:51Er...
07:52Did.
07:53I'm...
07:53Not there anymore.
07:56Right.
07:58Well...
07:58You still do good.
08:01I did.
08:02Well, I suppose we better road test this.
08:08Ray's usually good for quality, but...
08:10Trust no one, eh?
08:14What's up, love?
08:17Is it because I mentioned school?
08:20Secret's safe.
08:22Chill.
08:23Have a drink.
08:24Can I use your toilet, actually?
08:26Of course.
08:30Charge you 50p, though.
08:31What in the Lord's name?
08:34I...
08:35I...
08:36I...
08:36I...
08:36I...
08:37I...
08:37I...
08:37I...
08:37I...
08:38I...
08:44I...
08:52I...
08:53Oh, what in the Lord's name? I can't switch it off.
09:02What is it?
09:03With one of those, erm, pop-up video things.
09:06It's a wall to make it go.
09:08Oh!
09:09Oh, ah!
09:10Oh, no, it's gone.
09:13Oh, that was disgusting.
09:15It just appeared. I mean, I didn't go looking for it and it was there.
09:19This is what we're up against?
09:21That's what a young lad's expecting of his future sex life. God help us.
09:26Hang on.
09:27It came up on this page. Look, he follows him.
09:31Oh, yeah, I've heard of him. He's some muscle man guru type.
09:34The terrible things they're saying about women and girls, look.
09:37A woman's placed in the home are better still than the bedroom.
09:40What is this, the Dark Ages? No.
09:43You're not telling me this is the kind of stuff lads buy into these days.
09:47He's got over 100,000 followers.
09:50Yeah, but Carl's got his own brain, surely.
09:53We've taught him respect.
09:55Especially after...
09:57Tom.
09:59I had no idea that you were so young.
10:04Prostitution at 15.
10:08I wasn't a prostitute.
10:10I was under the age of consent. I was raped.
10:15Groomed. Coerced.
10:19Did you go to the police?
10:21After that first guy, I just wanted oblivion.
10:29And then the heroin took over and Alex's world became my world and it wasn't an easy place to leave.
10:41Young girls like me, they weren't missing all the time.
10:44And tell the police.
10:46And you might turn up dead.
10:49So, everything okay?
10:51If you'd tried it, you'd know.
10:53My boyfriend would dump me if I did drugs.
10:56Circle of trust. What happens here stays here.
11:00Yeah, well, he'd be able to tell.
11:02Cos it'd be the first time he'd seen you smile.
11:06Sorry.
11:09What I mean is, lads nowadays, they think they can tell lassies what they can and can't do.
11:15Dylan's not like that.
11:16I'm glad to hear it.
11:18Shame he's not here.
11:20Supposed to be four of my pals coming for a sesh.
11:23And they've blown me out.
11:25Every single one.
11:28Shame.
11:29Come on.
11:32Let your hair down.
11:34Not gonna let me party on me own, are ya?
11:37I can't.
11:38I'm on duty.
11:40This is your duty.
11:42So Ray told me.
11:44What exactly has Ray told you?
11:49Quite like the innocent act.
11:52One line.
11:54Get you in the mood.
11:55I reckon we're gonna have a bit of a laugh, you and me.
12:00Hm?
12:01Whoo.
12:05I'm on duty.
12:06You're on duty.
12:08I don't know.
12:09I'm on duty.
12:10I'm on duty.
12:11I'm on duty.
12:12I'm on duty.
12:13I'll do that too.
12:14I know.
12:18You, for your arm.
12:19Yeah.
12:20I'm on duty.
12:21You don't know me.
12:22I just need to hold on your arm.
12:23I don't know you.
12:24That's all you need to hold on for it.
12:25And you're on duty.
12:26I'm on duty.
12:27You won't have a laugh.
12:28All of you not even know me.
12:29Sorry, I have no mixes.
12:32Vodka's always better than neat, I think.
12:35Hits the spot.
12:40Still seem uptight, though.
12:44I'm fine.
12:48You are bonnie, lass.
12:53I bet you'd look nice even without all that slap.
12:57I'm fairly plain.
12:58I call you natural.
13:01You're pretty.
13:04From what I can see of you.
13:11I'm carrying a lot of tension in those shoulders, though, love.
13:15I'm really not.
13:17I might look like I'd be clumsy, but I'd give a decent neck rub.
13:23Come here.
13:24Come here.
13:25No, I thought you were going to line up for me.
13:29It's my turn.
13:31That's the vodka talking.
13:33Couple of drinks in, and you can't resist temptation.
13:41I am the same.
13:43Where are you going?
13:44Sit back down!
13:45You haven't done what I paid for!
13:47You...
13:51I kept trying to leave Alex.
13:54Back and forth.
13:55Back and forth.
13:57Until I ended up sleeping on the streets.
14:00Full-blown addict.
14:02But I met Beth.
14:05Clemmie's mum.
14:07And was she in the same situation as you?
14:11She saved my life, you know.
14:13Some guy was trying to shove me in his van and she took off her shoe and she wagged him.
14:19And we just legged it.
14:21I mean, she was fierce.
14:22She was the kind of mate you wanted on the streets.
14:25Until she wasn't my mate.
14:28She slept with Alex.
14:30Oh.
14:31Yeah, we both had terrible taste in men.
14:34But then...
14:37Clemmie.
14:39That's a good thing, right?
14:41Yeah.
14:42I mean, she's here now.
14:43You did that.
14:44You've...
14:45You've broken the cycle.
14:46But the thing she's seen...
14:49It's just...
14:50Her idea of what is a normal, healthy relationship is tainted.
14:54I know, I know.
14:57And I just wanted to protect her from that.
15:00It just shows that any child can be exploited.
15:03Even the ones you see every day.
15:06That you pick up from school.
15:08And that you tuck into bed at night.
15:12The only thing we can do is teach them what's right and what's wrong.
15:25I know you're angry, but it's not my fault.
15:30And your poor face.
15:32It's red raw.
15:41Where's your grandad?
15:43He's out.
15:46Why don't we get you home anyway though, eh?
15:52Come on.
15:54You were right to report it.
16:01I feel sick, Laurel.
16:03Sick and ashamed of myself mainly.
16:05Well, it wasn't your fault.
16:06Well, of course it was.
16:08He's only had the phone a few weeks and it's already poisoned his brain.
16:13Spends hours on it.
16:14They all do.
16:16When Angel first came on, I swore life had changed.
16:21That we'd do more family things.
16:23Then work, school, those damn things.
16:27They all get in the way.
16:28Not like when we were kids, eh?
16:31When I was a kid, I used to kiss a signed pencil drawing of George Michael.
16:37And eat too many e-numbers, that was as risky as it got.
16:40I was more of a Morton Harkett fan myself.
16:42I wish it was 1987 again, Laurel.
16:44We're out of our depths.
16:46No, we're not.
16:47We're not.
16:48Because knowledge is power and we can be each other's eyes and ears, can't we?
16:52Yeah.
16:54Limit screen time.
16:55Block stuff?
16:56Dangerous stuff they can access.
16:57And any whispers, we can tip one another off.
17:01Be an amazing mum, you know that.
17:05And you are an amazing friend.
17:08Mostly.
17:10Can I move back in?
17:11No.
17:16Sorry.
17:18Just needed a minute.
17:19Kim rang.
17:20She's on her way back.
17:22Good.
17:24Do you know what you need?
17:26Pizza.
17:28Let's go out, all of us.
17:30Yeah, the kids would like that.
17:32I'll just sort out my face.
17:34Hey.
17:36Everything that Clemmie has been through has been...
17:42But we can help her through that.
17:45No one was ever there to do that for you.
17:47But we can shield her.
17:49And Lucas.
17:50We really can.
18:06Better?
18:16That Tim's a clown.
18:18He would never have hurt you.
18:20He wanted me to do coke with him.
18:22He undid his belt and I thought that he was going to force me to...
18:25You have a special talent when it comes to dealing with men.
18:27It's a rare gift.
18:28He's going to go off his nut.
18:30I know he is.
18:31I'll talk to him.
18:33He listens to his mother.
18:36You...
18:37You're his mum?
18:39I am.
18:40For my sins.
18:43You know...
18:45You're like me.
18:47I hate change.
18:49I hate trying new things.
18:51But it's unavoidable.
18:52It's part of life.
18:54I suppose.
18:56I bet when you first met Ray,
18:59you couldn't have imagined you'd be able to handle him the way you do now.
19:02It'll be the same for our customers.
19:03I don't want to see Tim again.
19:05Pussycat compared to some.
19:08But...
19:09He tried to get me to...
19:10Feel important.
19:12If you had fluffed up his ego a bit,
19:14you'd still be sat here now.
19:16But with a big chunk of that debt paid off.
19:20I won't do what he was asking.
19:21Except you have no choice.
19:24And it's quick and easy money.
19:27No shame in that, is there?
19:33I'll talk to Ray and Tim, smooth things over,
19:36and we'll just...
19:38write today off.
19:40Have you told Dylan?
19:42Good.
19:43Him and Ray are getting along so well.
19:46Don't see him tonight.
19:48Wait till you've calmed down a bit.
19:49No point in him thinking there's been some big drama, is there?
19:53Text him.
19:55Now.
19:56Good girl.
20:12It's better this way.
20:15Keep the peace.
20:17Keep trouble from your door.
20:20Protect your loved ones.
20:22You ready?
20:35Two minutes.
20:37No rush.
20:38You look great.
20:40Hardly.
20:42I love you, Dawn.
20:44I do.
20:46Oh, shut up, you soppy git.
20:47I know I always say it.
20:48But I mean it.
20:50You don't see me differently now.
20:52I do.
20:53I see you.
20:55I see you.
20:57You don't see me differently now.
20:59I do.
21:00I see you stronger.
21:01And more amazing than ever before.
21:03No, I'm just lucky.
21:05I see you stronger.
21:07And more amazing than ever before.
21:09No, I'm just lucky.
21:11So many kids aren't.
21:13They're trapped and desperate through no fault of their own.
21:16No, I'm just lucky.
21:18So many kids aren't.
21:20They're trapped and desperate through no fault of their own.
21:21And it's still happening now, every single day.
21:23They just need the strength to escape, because the help is out there.
21:28If they can find the courage to reach out.
21:30If they can find the courage to reach out.
21:31If they can find the courage to reach out.
22:01They're trapped because they're
22:10given this point of everything.
22:12You can find the courage to initiate one more than ever before.
22:17Because of the nerve therapy, from because they're still on outside and out of the garage,
22:22they should get away and get off with it.
22:25Maybe the courageous, when seeing the courage to reach out.
