00:31The first words are often the hardest.
00:34People I work with have been abused, exploited, intimidated.
00:39It's natural to disengage.
00:43Others are in denial.
00:45Accepting you've been manipulated can feel like the final thread of control slipping away.
00:50Some believe it's all they're worth, what they deserve, and that there's no way out.
00:54But most are simply still stuck in a moment, too petrified to speak.
01:02Whatever you tell me, Bear, is completely confidential.
01:07Your son said you used to be a wrestler. Is that right?
01:11She doesn't give a toss about wrestling.
01:14She's just trying to get into your head.
01:16Ted is Ray. He's Ray. I'm your only friend, remember?
01:20I know it'll never be over.
01:24This secret.
01:26It's something we're all going to have to live with.
01:29We just need to hold our nerve.
01:31What do you think I'm talking about, Ray?
01:34What else are we talking about?
01:37Everything comes back to that man.
01:39Everything.
01:42He's a cancer.
01:44So who do I blame for the rest of it, then?
01:48The rest of what?
01:50My pathetic life.
01:53How come I get away with all of this?
01:56You, the police, hot chocolates, the sympathy card.
02:00When you've been a victim of exploitation...
02:03April, there's a word for what you've been through.
02:06You can't just shrug it off.
02:10I knew what I was doing.
02:12And you hate yourself for it. I know you do.
02:14Please don't make out that this is nothing.
02:17Sexual exploitation of a child...
02:20There is nothing lower.
02:24The thought of those men pressuring you...
02:26I know how it feels.
02:28No.
02:29No, don't compare them to Pierce.
02:31They tried to force themselves on you.
02:33And they failed.
02:35Both of them.
02:38Um...
02:38Runner, I wasn't raped.
02:40I didn't have to go through the hell that you did.
02:44With Callum, I went into that room.
02:48I knew what he wanted.
02:50I took that risk and I made that choice.
02:51No.
02:53Ray and Celia made that choice for you.
02:56They were pulling the strings.
02:58Just the same as they were with Bear.
02:59And Dylan.
03:00But with Bear, he was hauled up in an attic,
03:02being forced to work for Scraps.
03:04And Dylan, Dylan never would have been involved with Ray
03:07if he'd have had the cushy life I've had.
03:08Cushy?
03:09You have had more trauma and grief than anyone I know.
03:13When is everybody going to realise the person that I truly am?
03:16I'm not brave.
03:19I'm a spoiled, selfish little cow.
03:22Have you always done physical work?
03:23Like on the farm?
03:25You think I'm some kind of sap, don't you?
03:28I promise you I don't.
03:29No, I've been taken advantage of.
03:31Why would I think that?
03:32Because that's what my son's told you.
03:34Why'd you even let him call her?
03:36He's clearly painted me as some kind of psycho.
03:39Paddy, he can be overprotective.
03:43Farm work's brutal.
03:44You tell her, Ted.
03:47Young'uns like him, they don't understand graft.
03:50When I were 13, I weren't in some breakfast club before school.
03:54I were mucking out pigs.
03:56That must have been tough.
03:58Patronising!
03:59No, it was just graft.
04:01Plain and simple.
04:02And the farm?
04:03Was that graft?
04:05It were tough.
04:06Aye.
04:07Array were firm.
04:08But he were a good boss.
04:09Well, as good as...
04:11As good as I could, pretend.
04:12You tell her...
04:13You tell her all the things I've done for you.
04:17I were fed and wattered.
04:19Paid?
04:19I protected you.
04:21I sheltered you.
04:23He did what he could.
04:24But he weren't the organ grinder.
04:27That were her.
04:28Celia?
04:29Sir Ray was...
04:30He was my mate.
04:31He looked out for me.
04:33You tell her, Big Ted.
04:35And I'd still be with him now if I could.
04:38What?
04:42None of this was your fault.
04:44It never is, is it?
04:46But the bad stuff keeps on happening and it always will.
04:49Dylan, the past is the past.
04:51It's over.
04:51It's done.
04:54You don't believe that any more than I do.
04:56Well, I wouldn't say it if I didn't.
04:57Then why does everybody keep looking at me like I'm some puppy that needs putting down?
05:02What?
05:03You're doing it now.
05:05Look, everybody sees the same thing, don't they?
05:09You, Charles, the police.
05:11And damaged goods.
05:13A charity case.
05:15You don't seriously think I see you like that?
05:17Just look around, Paddy.
05:19I'm the problem.
05:22I'm always going to be used by someone.
05:26Look, anything I touch, I destroy.
05:28And if you can't see that, then you will.
05:31That's why you need me gone.
05:39Everyone thinks that I'm Little Miss Innocent.
05:44Paying half fare on the bus.
05:46Getting ID'd at the cinema.
05:49But what I am, the things that I have done to protect yourself, to stay alive.
05:56Addicts will have died because of me.
05:58You don't know that.
06:01People that I shared the squat with.
06:04Sad cases with nothing and no one.
06:07Girls my age who would sleep with guys just to get a hit.
06:12I became part of that.
06:14Not out of choice, love.
06:15Everyone has a choice.
06:17And drug dealers, they are the lowest of law.
06:20You were never a proper dealer.
06:21I sold drugs.
06:22Runner, why can't you just accept who I am?
06:25Because I know who you are.
06:28You're the girl who fed her dad when he couldn't hold a spoon.
06:33You're the girl who was my rock when I was dead on my feet.
06:37Yeah, well that girl's gone and she's not coming back.
06:40So who's the girl who's teaching Ivy Makaton so she can talk to her brother, eh?
06:44Or the girl who...
06:45Who what?
06:47Left her baby in a toilet and then couldn't even go to her funeral.
06:53What kind of person does that?
06:55One who's been to hell and back.
06:58One who has lost her mum.
07:01Nearly lost her dad.
07:03One who was treated worse than dirt when she was on the street.
07:07So much so that she has started to believe it.
07:11He appreciated me.
07:13I had a function.
07:15A purpose.
07:17And you don't have a purpose now?
07:18I'm an old man.
07:21Old man aren't worth scrap.
07:23My grandma once said she felt invisible.
07:26I didn't exist.
07:27Not until I found you.
07:31You youngsters have no idea what's ahead.
07:35That day you wake up and you're nothing but a nuisance.
07:39Under folks' feet.
07:41Surplus to requirements.
07:43You just sat there, rotting away, adding nothing to no one.
07:47You told Paddy you feel this way.
07:49You said it's all on me yet, but it's not.
07:52Happens to all of us if you lived long enough.
07:55But you didn't feel like that on the farm.
07:57He was my best worker.
07:59I can understand why you'd want to get back there.
08:01We all want to feel needed.
08:04Valued.
08:05Ray were troubled.
08:07Complicated.
08:08He'd had a rough start.
08:10And that's why we had a connection.
08:13Why he took me under his wing.
08:15You sound very fond of him.
08:17Oh, I am.
08:18I...
08:19I were.
08:22You were like a...
08:23Like a son.
08:25Say it, Ted.
08:26Don't be embarrassed.
08:28Relationships can be so complicated.
08:30If only we could draw nice, clear-cut lines.
08:33He weren't this monster.
08:35Not the Ray I knew.
08:38So you were never afraid?
08:39Oh, come on, Ted.
08:39You never saw that side of him?
08:41You can handle yourself.
08:42No, I'm never scared.
08:44What about the others?
08:45Were they scared?
08:47I don't know.
08:48Some of them, maybe.
08:50You said he wasn't a monster.
08:51That must be really hard to reconcile.
08:54What are you getting at?
08:55Someone who's shown such kindness.
08:57Who can then manipulate teenagers into selling drugs.
09:00No, no, no.
09:01That's not the Ray I knew.
09:02So you don't believe he did that?
09:03Or that he procured vulnerable young kids into prostitution?
09:06No, no, it's not any of that.
09:07I mean, whatever he did, he did because he had no choice.
09:11But did he give you a choice?
09:14Stop twisting things.
09:16You're messing with me, Ed.
09:18I'm sorry.
09:18I don't mean to do that.
09:20Whoever I was, whatever I did, I didn't deserve to die like that.
09:27You think you know it all, but you don't know half of it.
09:30Then tell me.
09:31Go on.
09:32Tell her.
09:33Tell her how you killed me.
09:35How you wrapped your arms around me until I stopped breathing.
09:38I mean, you are the victim in all of this.
09:57Can I get you a drink?
09:59Charles said we can help ourself.
10:02What would you like?
10:06Oh, whatever's going.
10:08Choice.
10:10It can be overwhelming, can't it?
10:12We need to wrap this up, Ted.
10:14I only drank water for six months when I escaped.
10:17It felt like a safety in it.
10:20The routine.
10:21The not thinking.
10:22How do you mean when you escaped?
10:25Sorry, I thought that you...
10:28I've been where you are now.
10:30Sat opposite a counsellor trying to make sense of what happened to me.
10:33What's going on here?
10:34So, you're...
10:35Survivor, yeah.
10:37That's why I do this.
10:39Cos I understand.
10:44You're not going anywhere.
10:47Yeah, it's better I go now before you start to hate me.
10:49Hate you?
10:50I told you.
10:51You're like a son to me.
10:53All I do is bring you trouble.
10:55No, Ray brought trouble.
10:57All you've brought is kindness and love.
11:00Yeah, until the next disaster.
11:02When...
11:03When I need bailing out.
11:05Putting you in the line of fire.
11:06I ain't doing that.
11:07It's never going to happen.
11:09There's something rotten inside me, Paddy.
11:12Scum like Ray can see it.
11:13And they pounce on it, alright?
11:15And they always will.
11:16Dylan, this is all in your head.
11:17And then...
11:18And then people around me suffer.
11:21Bex.
11:22April.
11:23Your dad.
11:25Look, Ray's not the only cancer.
11:27No, right.
11:28Don't do that.
11:29Don't call yourself that.
11:31Right?
11:32I know you've had a rough time.
11:33But your past does not have to dictate your future.
11:36It does.
11:38Alright?
11:39There's no happy endings for people like me.
11:43The future.
11:44It scares me.
11:46Like, whenever something good happens, it's like I'm just waiting for it to...
11:49What?
11:50Go wrong.
11:51People only say that because they're exhausted.
11:54And because they're worn down.
11:55But patterns change.
11:56And people change.
11:58And you've never had anybody fight in your corner.
12:00But anyone can change their lives with the right support.
12:03And you've got that now.
12:05They're nice words.
12:07If it was only words, I wouldn't be stood here now, would I?
12:09Well, this is me, Paddy.
12:12Who I am.
12:14Who I've always been.
12:17I'm a curse.
12:19All right?
12:21And that's why my dad wanted rid of me.
12:23That's why I ended up on drugs.
12:25Sleeping with blokes on the street.
12:29That's why Ray chose me.
12:32So, what happened to you?
12:35I don't think that I should...
12:36No, no, no.
12:37Please, please, please.
12:37I want to know.
12:39This is pathetic.
12:40You are pathetic.
12:43There was a woman called Louise.
12:46She picked me up when I was at my lowest and saved me.
12:50At least I thought she did.
12:52That's what she wanted me to believe.
12:55I was lost.
12:58Bones of my backside.
13:00And she gave me a job in a nail bar.
13:03Six days a week.
13:05I slept in the back and thought nothing of it.
13:08Open your mouth.
13:09There will be consequences.
13:11So she'd treat you bad.
13:12You want to cross that line, do you?
13:14Not always.
13:15She could be kind.
13:17Supportive.
13:20But she could do this.
13:25It's okay.
13:26It doesn't hurt anymore.
13:29She promised me a wage, but...
13:31That never came.
13:34She said I should be grateful I'd got somewhere to kip.
13:38I was fed.
13:40Watered.
13:43And you think Ray is like her?
13:48Only you can tell me what Ray was like.
13:52My arm.
13:54It still gives me chip.
13:57Do you want to tell me what happened?
14:00Well, it was nothing really.
14:02It was an accident.
14:04It was an out compared to her.
14:07Who?
14:09Anya.
14:10This is Anne.
14:11My friend.
14:12She was a pretty little thing like you.
14:15I mean, we looked out for each other.
14:17And where's Anya now?
14:19Are you still...
14:23She died.
14:24It's okay.
14:24It's okay.
14:25She...
14:27She was sick.
14:29We're just waiting for the boss man to come with your medicine.
14:32Did Ray take her to the hospital?
14:34She wouldn't let him.
14:35His mum...
14:35He couldn't take her.
14:37So he left her to get worse?
14:39No, no, no.
14:40I tried to get help.
14:42Wake up properly!
14:43I did, I tried.
14:44I'm sure you did.
14:45I asked him to get meds.
14:46I mean, he promised.
14:48I mean, I asked him.
14:49I asked him again and again.
14:50She was in such pain.
14:52She started dreaming.
14:53A little girl.
14:54Red ribbons.
14:56Running through the fields.
14:57I begged him again and again.
14:59But he didn't listen.
15:00No, he did note.
15:01Note.
15:02When he brought the meds, it were too late.
15:04He let her die.
15:05She was in agony.
15:06For the love of God, help!
15:11How could he do that?
15:16It were evil.
15:19Evil!
15:22Okay.
15:23Let me play devil's advocate here.
15:25Let's just say you are this embodiment of evil.
15:29Hmm?
15:30If that is the case, then what about Dylan?
15:33Because you only got involved with Ray and Celia in the first place to help him.
15:37None of this is Dylan's fault.
15:39I didn't say it was.
15:40But according to your way of thinking, surely Dylan is culpable too?
15:44That's different.
15:45How?
15:46It just is.
15:47Because everyone saw what happened when he tried to break free.
15:51Ray and Celia knew that you were vulnerable.
15:54That's why they targeted you.
15:56Both of you.
15:56And Bear.
15:57Unless he had a choice in all of this too.
16:00Every decision any one of you made was manipulated by them.
16:05Right from day one.
16:06And this fake debt that they told you you had to pay back.
16:10I mean, where is the choice in that?
16:13I could have refused to pay it.
16:15I told you sooner.
16:17And what happened when you did, huh?
16:18We didn't have the answer.
16:20We had no more of an idea of what to do than you did.
16:22But that's how these people work.
16:25You know, they corner you.
16:27They seal up the exits until you cannot see a way out.
16:31I am not some victim.
16:32Okay.
16:33Okay, you don't like the word, so let's not use it.
16:35But you are not some drug kingpin either, April.
16:38You are not somebody who feeds off other people's misery.
16:41And why do I feel like this?
16:43Because you are a good person.
16:45Because you have a conscience.
16:46I mean, do you think Ray and Celia ever tortured themselves like this?
16:52Now you listen to me.
16:55You are a beautiful, kind and caring young woman.
16:59And I am proud.
17:01I am so proud to call you my daughter.
17:07When I said you were like a son to me, do you think I meant it?
17:12Because I'd do anything for you.
17:14Anything.
17:15But I think you know that, and maybe that's what scares you.
17:18Maybe that's what makes you want to run.
17:22What, fancy yourself as a shrink now?
17:25You said it yourself.
17:27When something good happens, you're waiting for it to go wrong.
17:32So what's a little bit of self-sabotage?
17:35Anyway.
17:37If you won't listen to me.
17:40What a self-help book.
17:43As if...
17:44Hey.
17:45This has got me through some very, very dark nights.
17:49It's a compilation.
17:50It's real stories.
17:51It's people that couldn't see a future for themselves, but they've all managed to turn their lives around.
17:56I mean, if you hate it, then you hate it.
17:58But the people in there, they proved that they were more than just their pasts.
18:03Second chances.
18:04Starting new lives.
18:07But that's all totally doable.
18:09And why can't I see it happening?
18:11Because you've been through too much.
18:12You need to heal.
18:15Well, when Marlon persuaded me to drop that gun, it's not like the clouds suddenly broke apart, but in time.
18:26I started to see a future.
18:29Yeah, well, I just want to believe it's not always going to be like this.
18:32Yeah, well, trust me.
18:35I believe in you.
18:36Even if you don't.
18:39You weren't bothered if she lived or died.
18:42But the same with me.
18:45Big Ted.
18:46That's not my name.
18:48Just used it to butter me up.
18:51I could have bled to death for all he cared.
18:54I know it's a lot to take him.
18:57With me headed.
18:58It's like a jumble sale.
19:00What's processing?
19:01What's truth, what's lies?
19:03I'm lost, aren't I?
19:06I'll never be raised again.
19:08I've been that sick.
19:09There's no hope.
19:10Every step to wellness starts with precisely that.
19:13A step.
19:14Which is what you've done today.
19:16I know, but...
19:16People do get their lives back.
19:18I did.
19:20I can't promise the road to recovery's short.
19:23It'd be cruel to suggest there's ever a quick fix.
19:25This is your journey.
19:27Your recovery.
19:28You're the one driving the car and I'm just in the passenger seat.
19:33Ready to pull out a map if you get lost.
19:38You're a good man, Bear.
19:39Oh, why did you have to say that?
19:41Well, because it's important to be kind to yourself.
19:43Kind?
19:44You don't know what I'm capable of.
19:46Well, anyone.
19:47Even good people can be pushed to their limits.
19:49Good people aren't murderers.
19:52I killed him.
19:55I killed Ray.
19:58You talk of monsters.
20:00Well, I'm one.
20:03That's what he's made me into.
20:06Just got to take things day by day.
20:09Yeah, I know.
20:10I'll try.
20:11Well, it's not easy.
20:12Because I've been there and I've done that.
20:17How about we go bowling later?
20:19Bowling?
20:20Yeah.
20:21Everything's felt so dark lately.
20:23I just...
20:23Oh, well, I thought it might be nice to do something that we used to do as a family.
20:26Or something normal.
20:27Yeah.
20:28And fun.
20:30Yeah, I'd love that.
20:36For everything that you've done for me.
20:37You've always been on my side and it means more than you'll ever know.

20:46When he gets out of that session today, it won't be fixed.

20:53Pads?
20:55Dad?
20:59I'm sorry, son.
21:00Hang on.
21:01Why is he in handcuffs?
21:02Mr Dingle, your father has just admitted to the murder of Ray Walters.
21:06No, no, no.
21:06There's a mistake.
21:07He's confused.
21:08He's clearly traumatised.
21:09I'm really sorry.
21:11Look, Bear called the police himself.
21:13Dad!
21:14Dad!
21:15Dad, I'm not leaving you.
21:17All right?
21:17I'll see you down the station.
21:19But you're not alone.
21:21Right?
21:22Dad!
21:23You're not alone!
21:52I'll see you down the station.
