01:30Give yourself some time to settle when you get there.
01:32I don't need to settle.
01:33It's a big thing called.
01:35I don't remember Kira's trial.
01:36No, I'm not Kira.
01:37I haven't done anything wrong.
01:38I'm just going there.
01:39Say it how it is.
01:40And you, baby girl, gonna be absolutely brilliant.
01:42Thanks.
01:43See, someone believes in me.
01:45Can you just tell her to get ready, please?
01:47Get ready.
01:48Look, if you want to worry about someone, worry about no-
01:50It's a nugget.
01:51He's the one with like half a kidney.
01:52Love you too.
01:53Your brother is fine.
01:55Uh, are we cabbing it?
01:56Sookie's dealing with the HMO, so it's just us three for now.
01:59Um, yeah.
02:01Does someone want to do something helpful for me?
02:03Oh well, I find your outfit.
02:04Does someone...
02:05I want to put a chocolate spread on my toes.
02:07Right, princess.
02:10Bring a bucket so that we're ready, please.
02:12Um...
02:13Yeah, I've just got a bit of work.
02:14Work?
02:15Yeah.
02:15Oh no, you get in the cab.
02:17It won't take long and I'll see you there.
02:19Okay?
02:20Okay, please.
02:21Take that.
02:22I told you I'm off calves.
02:23I know.
02:24Ooh.
02:26Did you see their faces when she kicked off?
02:29This isn't over, Joel.
02:30You proper showed her, though.
02:32Even if she doesn't come back, there's still...
02:34Did you tell me...
02:35I want my dad to come see me.
02:36Bring me some crisps or something.
02:37There's a breakfast in this place.
02:40What?
02:41You did call him, yeah?
02:44Hey.
02:45He...
02:46He said he'd see you in court.
02:50Well, can you call someone else?
02:55Yes.
02:56Woo!
02:57Woo!
02:58Woo!
02:59Woo!
03:00No!
03:01Stop!
03:02What are you doing?
03:03Girls, please!
03:04Stop!
03:05Stop!
03:05What are you going to do?
03:06Hmm?
03:07Oh.
03:08Oh.
03:09Oh.
03:10Oh!
03:10Oh.
03:11Oh.
03:12Oh.
03:13Oh.
03:14Oh.
03:15Oh.
03:15What.
03:16I had to go for a wall.
03:19I had to go for a wall.
03:20walk just get away from everyone doing my head in I mean they think they will get it
03:25huh
03:30you
03:35It's weird, Gem, because sometimes that...
03:40I don't ever really think about it, I just hang out with...
03:45...body, chat rubbish on my phone and just chill.
03:50But other times, it's like, I remember.
03:55And it just feels like I'm going through it all over again.
04:00I had a bat yesterday.
04:05Is that right?
04:10What if Joel is how he is?
04:14Because...
04:15I don't...
04:19I don't...
04:20I don't want to make you feel unimportant or anything like that.
04:24But this whole...
04:25...toxic boy thing.
04:27Like, that ain't all because of you.
04:30Even if it ain't all me.
04:33I am still part of...
04:35...of what isn't they doing.
04:39I've done so much.
04:40Lots of things that are very wrong.
04:43Who wasn't?
04:45This ain't about...
04:47...what you've done.
04:48Okay, because nothing...
04:51...at all means that what that loser did is right.
04:54Okay?
04:55And look, if you feel like you can't go through with anything...
05:00...any more of it...
05:01...than...
05:03...
05:06The boy's a waste man, innit?
05:08I will personally deck him for the both of us.
05:10It's okay.
05:15I love him.
05:19I'll keep up...
05:20You really don't need to do this, you know.
05:24Come on, listen.
05:25Remember, you don't know him anything, OK?
05:26I want to talk to him.
05:28No-one said bring a babysitter.
05:29Anymore of your...
05:30You don't have a lip.
05:30All right, that's fine.
05:31We're going to be right here, OK?
05:33They said you can go.
05:34No.
05:35We'll be right here.
05:38At least that's one thing I don't get in here.
05:40I don't know, having to deal with that.
05:41Why did you want to see me?
05:44I don't know, I was...
05:45I wanted something normal.
05:47Five minutes with a mate.
05:49I mean, I...
05:50That's what you said you was looking for, so...
05:53This place.
05:55If you're going to start crying again, mate, just go.
06:00And that ain't your mate.
06:02They really have cut them off you, ain't they?
06:04What?
06:05Watch your mouth, Jo, yeah.
06:06Mum...
06:07I've got it.
06:10Being a man...
06:14You're right.
06:15You're right.
06:16It's hard.
06:17But it isn't exactly easy being a girl.
06:20I can put you in a skirt next.
06:25Well, they said in court.
06:30Me, and my mum, every day.
06:33I wish I never did that.
06:35But I did.
06:40But I don't need to make anyone else feel small to make myself feel bigger.
06:45Okay, you can go now.
06:46And if that's what makes you feel strong, then that ain't being a man.
06:50Not being proud of yourself.
06:52Oh, I said you can go now, but...
06:53And if you don't change...
06:55Then you're going to be in somewhere like this for the rest of your life.
06:59And who's the big man...
07:00And who's the big man then, eh?
07:04And you know, you talk so...
07:05...too much...
07:06...about men needing to be tough.
07:08But Joel...
07:10You can't even stand up and say what you've done!
07:15...you can't even...
07:17...to have to be tough.
07:20I mean, what's that look like?
07:21I'm going to be in my room at our house, I'm going to be in my room.
07:23I'm going to be in my room at L-2.
07:25And this is the time before I go to...
07:27There he goes.
07:29I'm going to be in my room!
07:30Just a bit.
07:31There he goes.
07:32I just can't believe that Sookie's left you to tidy all this up on your own.
07:36Sookie doesn't even know.
07:37Mishy's gonna kill me, I'm gonna lose my job.
07:39You can't get sacked for being burgled.
07:42Have you met...
07:42Sookie's a bigger problem than I thought, you know.
07:44I'm supposed to be heading to that trial and just...
07:47What's happened to you?
07:50Kids.
07:51And you're doing anything to...
07:52Oh, she's not injured, thank you for asking, and you are?
07:57Sookie's staying with me.
07:59Right.
08:00Right, well we need to...
08:02Check the CCTV.
08:03Can you clear this up?
08:04Really?
08:05We've already looked at it.
08:06No.
08:07Faces.
08:08Really is nothing to do with that little B&B, is there?
08:11No.
08:12Much has been taken, a handful of scratch cards, a bottle of brandy...
08:18Random, I know.
08:20Right, I'd better get back to work.
08:22To my little B&B.
08:24Finny, we need the police report for the insurance.
08:27The bruins in the back, right?
08:28You don't have to.
08:29No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
08:30I've got lunch prepared.
08:31No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
08:32You don't have to.
08:33No, no, no, no, no, no.
08:34I've got lunch prepared.
08:32Yeah, so you've got time to sort it.
08:37Yeah, so you've got time.
08:42You've got time.
08:47Maybe a few more minutes.
08:52I think perhaps we should move on to the next witness.
09:07Miss Fowler, ready to start?
09:10Yes.
09:28Hi.
09:29Did you ask her to put a screen between you two?
09:31There's no shade.
09:32I mean, ask her to...
09:33Mum, I ain't scared of Joel, Mum.
09:34I ain't got nothing to hide, either.
09:36He ain't coming, is he?
09:41I bet your dad's gonna be here, okay?
09:44Okay?
09:45Hi.
09:46Hi.
09:47Hi.
09:48Hi.
09:49Hi.
09:50Hi.
09:51Hi.
09:52Hi.
09:53Hi.
09:54Hi.
09:55Hi.
09:56Hu.
09:57I think being a boy today...
10:02...of all these pressures, how you're supposed to be...
10:07...all this stuff online.
10:09And when they see the women around them...
10:11No, you're not doing that to me again.
10:12Not today.
10:18When I fell in love with Joe's dad...
10:21...I took him...
10:22...I took Joel on and all.
10:24And I tried.
10:26We both tried.
10:27So very hard.
10:29And...
10:31...he would just lie.
10:33Every time.
10:35Pretended change.
10:38And we'd believe him.
10:41Because we wanted to be...
10:42...and believe him.
10:47All I ever wanted was to make our little family...
10:50...work.
10:52To be the mum to Joel.
10:57...that I knew he needed.
11:03And he would cut me down...
11:06...and call me out.
11:08Make me feel useless.
11:09Make me feel like women were the problem.
11:11Like I was the pro...
11:12...a low value female.
11:15That's what he called me.
11:16That's what he called me.
11:17Like I was worth nothing at all.
11:23And I let him do it to me again.
11:25Yesterday.
11:28I let you do it to me yesterday.
11:31And I am not...
11:32...having him do it to me again.
11:36He beat me.
11:38And he filmed it.
11:40And he left me lying.
11:42There.
11:43And it stops.
11:45Today.
11:47It stops happening.
11:49To me.
11:50To all the others.
11:52To all the others.
11:55This.
11:56This.
11:57Adds.
12:00Hee hee hee.
12:01No more questions.
12:02Thank you, Miss Fowler.
12:05Call our next witness.
12:07Avani Nandrahat.
13:57And I think maybe he did.
14:00so maybe I hurt him.
14:05I'm...
14:05But then I started getting these messages from...
14:10one of these girls, like, just calling me a skat
14:13and saying some other really...
14:15..horrible things, and I thought that...
14:20..he just told everyone, because that's what boys do, you know?
14:23Like, they mouth off.
14:25Um, but he had, um...
14:30..that he had filmed it...
14:32..and he didn't tell me.
14:35In fact, I only found out about it recently.
14:40Um...
14:40In the video, I had my clothes off.
14:46And he had been showing everyone.
14:50He even put it up online.
14:53F***
14:54It was my first time, you know?
14:56It was meant to be...
15:00I don't know, it was just something for everyone to laugh at,
15:02just to put me in my place.
15:04He made me...
15:05..feel...
15:06..really...
15:07..dirty...
15:08Do you think this is...
15:09..and it's funny?
15:10Because it ain't funny.
15:12Avani.
15:13Sorry.
15:14Um...
15:15..and...
15:16..and...
15:18Ah!
15:19I will give you something to laugh about!
15:20I'm not...
15:21I'm not...
15:22I'm not serious!
15:23What's working?
15:24Never a bit of Avani, eh?
15:24It ain't worth it.
15:25Please!
15:26Can everyone just calm down?
15:27Maybe we could take five minutes.
15:28I don't even know why I'm here!
15:29I'm trying to make you all believe me!
15:30All I wanted was someone to make me feel good about myself!
15:34But you know what?
15:35I don't need a boy for that!
15:36Because I know who I am!
15:37And what I am is...
15:38And what I am is good!
15:39Thank you!
15:40You've been very brave!
15:43No more questions!
15:48No need for cross-examination, I think.
15:52Evidence over!
15:53And for the defence...
15:55And for the defence...
15:57And for the defence...
16:18It's as if nothing ever happened.
16:23I have to say, Bea has been amazing.
16:27I was just giving a little...
16:28A little mop, you know, to help out.
16:30She only popped in yesterday to drop off her CV.
16:33And, uh, well, she stopped her shock lifter then, too.
16:36You don't want to bother him with all that, are you?
16:38I did tell her, Mr Penisar, that you weren't looking for any...
16:43Good, honest, reliable, hard-working members of Star Wars.
16:47I see you have...
16:48Lots of experience.
16:49And it's not like I'm not safe working here on my own, but...
16:53We could give you a try for a month, see how it goes.
16:58Are you serious?
16:59Are you serious?
17:00Mr Penisar is always serious, very serious.
17:02Now, you go and have that lunch with Penny.
17:05Thank you so much.
17:07You are...
17:07You are so not going to regret this.
17:09I hope not.
17:12You are amazing.
17:15You are amazing.
17:16Oh, that's what friends are for.
17:17Oh, I'll cry.
17:18You and me behind that counter.
17:21Matching tap odds.
17:22Oh, no.
17:23Oh, no.
17:23Oh, no.
17:27All I wanted was my dad.
17:32Someone...
17:32Someone to, you know, help me find my way.
17:37Mum leaving us, moving out.
17:40All he was doing was work, and then he...
17:42I met Vicky, and all he wanted to do was see her.
17:47I was, like, 14 at the time.
17:50And then, because she wanted to come back...
17:52He dragged me away from all my mates and dumped me somewhere.
17:57I didn't know anyone.
17:59And spent all this time on her.
18:02I mean, I ain't saying I got everything right.
18:07Now, you know what it's like being a teenager.
18:10He's going to get off, isn't he?
18:12But...
18:12Every time I got stuff wrong,
18:14they just started throwing money at it.
18:16Make it all worse.
18:17How am I meant to know what's right and wrong?
18:20I just thought all my mess-ups were getting...
18:22in the way of their fun.
18:24I mean, she gives it all about wanting to be a good mum,
18:27but what kind of...
18:27Mum goes and gives money to girls
18:29because their boys try chatting them up?
18:31And what kind of mum?
18:32I'm sorry, you ain't doing this.
18:34Mr. Marshall...
18:35No, I'm sorry, I can't...
18:36You seriously still choose...
18:37I don't know, Dad.
18:39Look, whatever happens,
18:41whatever you did...
18:42I am here for you
18:44because you are my son
18:45and I love you.
18:46Mr. Marshall, once I've finished...
18:47my questioning.
18:48But I also love my partner.
18:51And I need to stand up for her.
18:52Right?
18:53None of this.
18:54It wasn't her fault.
18:56Right?
18:57It was mine.
18:57And I'm mad enough to admit that.
19:00So, child.
19:02Please.
19:04Everything that happens...
19:06Everything you've done...
19:07That is on me
19:09and that is on you.
19:12Can I talk to my brief?
19:17Please.
19:22Ian's all talk.
19:27He's not going to...
19:27stop till he shuts us down.
19:29He's not even going to get elected.
19:31And my...
19:32He's not even owned the Vic for a while.
19:35Store on the market.
19:37Caf.
19:37Like a chippy pie shop
19:39and as a prominent local businessman,
19:41ladies...
19:42If he sends you...
19:42sleep, I've got some spare bedrooms.
19:44Which she'll happily charge you by the hour for.
19:46That is a lie!
19:47Of course.
19:47One of the first things I'll do
19:48if I get elected
19:49is to clamp down on so-called vice
19:52in the...
19:52Warford's always been about family, hasn't it?
19:56Well, you should know.
19:57I've had enough of them.
19:59He's not going to get elected.
20:01He barely squeaked it last time.
20:02I shall stand against him
20:06and we...
20:07in.
20:12Joel, you have been charged with three very serious offenses.
20:17Grievous bodily harm, voyeurism, and...
20:22...making and distributing indecent images of a child.
20:26They don't even go, ain't they?
20:27And on all charges, you have changed your plea to guilty...
20:37The court will require the youth offending team to prepare a report on you...
20:42...and your background.
20:44We will adjourn your case for sentence on a future...
20:47...date by when that report will be ready.
20:50We will see you again then.
20:52Thank you all for your time.
21:15She's standing for the council.
21:17If mum wants to run, I'll let her run.
21:19If you can have a bit of good luck, why can't she?
21:37I want my money.
21:38You got your scratch cards.
21:40In fact, more than we agreed.
21:42Yeah, but we didn't win nothing.
21:44That's karma for you.
21:47Off you pop.
21:48Off you pop.
21:52Close your bus.
21:53Don't go Fazio.
21:54Both people can eat a chicken.
21:55So you'll use to help run them out.
21:56You'll use all the government of Southwise.
21:57It's because I've already filled some foreign foreign foreign foreign foreign foreign foreign foreign French.
21:58It's because of a gender kennedy family wash aÃ.
