00:00I saw to you that this would be a fresh start and I meant it, stay.
00:03So you're moving, stay in?
00:05Yeah, we're official now.
00:06Look, this is the life I want.
00:07Listen, you have commitments, right?
00:09You're trying to tell me you want out.
00:11No.
00:12We'll need someone extra special for this party.
00:16I think your friends will love who I have in mind.
01:01We can dance if we want to.
01:03We can leave your friends behind.
01:05Turn the music down.
01:10We can go where we want to.
01:13Place they will never find.
01:15And we can act like we come from out of this world.
01:17We don't know one far behind.
01:20We can dance if we want to.
01:30We can go if we want to.
01:32Night is young and so am I.
01:34And we can dress real deep.
01:35Just go to sleep, please.
01:44Let's go get smashed.
01:56Do you think I should ring Jacob again?
01:58He's been out all night.
02:00He can look after himself.
02:03This must be our ride.
02:06What, are you two going to dress up nice?
02:08House party.
02:09Come with us?
02:10We might get dumped outside the hospital.
02:12That'll never happen again.
02:14Look, why don't you come with us?
02:15It's going to be fun.
02:18I'll think about it.
02:20Come on.
02:24Hey, I'll make yourself useful.
02:25I'll walk home with you.
02:27Do you know his party they're going to?
02:29No idea.
02:30I ain't supposed to be his new best mate.
02:34I know how to ever care anymore.
03:06How long does it take to go to the shop?
03:08Yeah, well, we needed everything.
03:10Toothpaste, bog roll, tin opener.
03:12It's the one thing you can never find when moving house.
03:15Bean's on toast for tea then, is it?
03:19I've just got him off.
03:21Yeah, well, it's about time he was sleep trained anyway.
03:23What, you started puppy training him already?
03:25So you get a biscuit, you fetch his a ball?
03:27No, you just let him cry out.
03:29He's got to learn that we're not always going to come running.
03:31It's the oldest parenting trick in the book.
03:33I didn't do that with Leroy Lucas.
03:35You know, it sounds cruel.
03:36If you hear a baby crying, you pick it up.
03:38Where did you learn that anyway?
03:40For Stimes.
03:41I should go on to the party.
03:43What party?
03:44You're going nowhere where there could be drugs or alcohol.
03:48Not after your day and your new visit.
03:49We'll have our own party, all right?
03:50We'll have a, uh, unpacking the boxes party.
03:53Look, stick James in our bedroom,
03:56dig out the earplugs,
03:57and we'll take it in turns to check on him.
03:59Step into your hand.
04:04Is this the right address?
04:05It looks dead.
04:06Hope so.
04:21Done.
04:22What happens at the party stays at the party, right?
04:32Very nice.
04:34Ah.
04:35I am so glad you managed to make it to my little soiree.
04:39Here.
04:41I have a gift for you.
04:44Is that you?
04:45Mm.
04:46Not your first roger, is it?
04:50You, please.
04:53Leave me alone.
05:05Please, please.
05:19It's so nice to remember
05:21Yes
05:26Shall we?
05:27Thank you
05:36I want me, you want it when you saw me, I like how you look baby, call me, call me
05:401, 2, 3, 1, let me see if you want some more like
05:44Push it, push it, catch me working, I'm perfect
05:471, 2, 3, 1, let me see if you want some more like
05:52Push it, push it, catch me working, I'm perfect, perfect, perfect, I'm perfect
05:58Hang on then, did you get into a fight or what?
06:00Not really, it was in the loft, Grace wanted help sorting out a Larry Punter so
06:05What do you mean? That's all
06:06That's all
06:10Second night in the apartment, you two are already arguing
06:12We're not arguing, are we Steve?
06:14Dad, have you taken your medication?
06:16I took my medication, Lucas, okay
06:18I didn't be
06:21Oh
06:25Erm, this is all happening too quick
06:29Maybe we made a mistake moving in together
06:31Steve
06:31You said this was going to be our safe space
06:34Me, you and the baby, a happy home, no violence
06:36Yeah, and I meant it
06:37Bruised knuckles? Should it be a normal part of our lives, Rex?
06:41I don't want the baby growing up in that environment, that's how I grew up, I'm not having the same
06:45for him
06:45Okay, I'm sorry
06:46Alright, I'll tell Grace not to involve me in her business anymore
06:49It's going to take more than that
06:51You don't actually talk to me, why is violence so normal to you?
06:55What do you mean?
06:56Was the violence in the foster home?
06:57Yes, sometimes!
06:59There we go
07:00You know, I had to survive
07:02I grew up
07:04Realising that the only person that I could ever rely on was myself
07:09And by the looks of it, some things never change
07:39It's so good, it's so good, it's so good
07:53I wish Lucas was there
07:56I miss him
07:58You know, that kiss with Jacob
08:02I don't know why I freaked out so much
08:05I'm going to call it
08:06No, no, no, leave it
08:08He's just a kid
08:19I think I'll go and get myself a marriage
08:27You're here
08:28And so are you
08:32I, I, I, I don't even know your name
08:36Cooper
08:38And still, isn't it, right?
08:40Yeah
08:41So
08:43Got your eye on anyone?
08:46Nah
08:48Having too much fun on my own
08:49Do you know what I mean?
08:52Well, just so you know
08:54The night we had together
08:56It was the best 200 quid I ever spent
09:06I, uh
09:09I, I need to find my friend
09:35Frankie
09:36Frankie, I need you to come
09:39Now
09:44So, everyone seems more than happy in there
09:47Mmm
09:48You did good
09:50What about the other locations?
09:51Are they just as busy?
09:53Yep
09:54Our little worker bees are bringing home the bacon
09:58You're not having second thoughts, are you?
10:00About Frankie
10:01No
10:02She's got the potential to go far
10:04She's my little project
10:07I like working with you, Grace
10:12What are they up to?
10:15What are you doing?
10:17Look, I was talking to some well-hot guy
10:19I think he's an estate agent
10:21Look, I need to tell you something
10:22Okay, that guy I was talking to
10:24I think he'll pay Rex to sleep with me
10:26What?
10:27What are you on about?
10:30He told me
10:31But Rex wouldn't do that
10:33He's your mate
10:34And Grace wouldn't let him
10:35Unless she's in on it as well
10:38Alright, did you see who was at that party
10:39It was mostly older guys
10:42And then people at our age
10:44So what?
10:46You, you're just freaking out
10:48You've probably had too much drink
10:50Alright, what if it's
10:52It's some sort of introduction
10:54Either they pay to meet us
10:55And then we have sex
10:56Oh, you, stop being ridiculous
10:59Okay
11:00Let's go and find Grace
11:01And she can tell you how stupid you're being
11:03I'm telling you
11:04She's in on it as well, Frankie
11:05She invited us here
11:09What was that?
11:13Hello?
11:15Is someone there?
11:20Who's down there?
11:41I do get it, you know
11:43I know how hard it can be to break the cycle of violence
11:48Look at what I told you about my stepdad
11:50Than what I put Amy through
11:53And I've got to live with that guilt forever
11:59Was it really bad then?
12:03In the homes?
12:07Someone nice enough
12:12Someone abusive
12:18I just thought it was normal
12:20You know
12:22Never complained
12:23I just went out and found my own family
12:28And who were they?
12:30I'm just
12:33Gangs I used to run round with
12:35I would start some of their gear
12:37Some drugs
12:40I would do
12:42Anything that they wanted
12:43Just to put a roof over my head
12:46I've done some bad things
12:49That I'm not proud of
12:50Stay
12:51So many terrible things
12:53But I was young
12:58Lost
13:02I didn't know what I was getting myself into
13:05I've also seen some messed up stuff
13:08Drugs used to control vulnerable kids
13:10And maybe we're just wasted in imagining things
13:16Oh right
13:16Okay
13:17We need to call Lucas
13:18Because he can come and get us
13:20He's sober
13:20We're not
13:21And he's just gonna come here
13:22And he's gonna tell us that everything's alright
13:23Yeah
13:25Yeah
13:25I'll call him
13:29Listen
13:31You stop crying
13:47Lucas
13:48Lucas
13:49We're at this party
13:49We need help
13:51Who is it?
13:52Who's there?
13:57Hello?
13:59Hello?
14:01Hello?
14:07Help me!
14:14This area is out of palace
14:25There was someone in that room
14:27Right?
14:27They were trapped
14:27Listen
14:29You are imagining things
14:30I might think you've got a little bit too much sugar in your tank
14:32No
14:33There is something dodgy going on here
14:35What is it, Grace?
14:37Right
14:38Dylan's found out that someone paid Rex to sleep with him
14:40Is it true?
14:42I mean, look at this house, guys
14:45Right
14:45There is a lot of men downstairs with a lot of money that they want to spend, right?
14:49This is a world of opportunity
14:51See, I knew it
14:52Grace, what are we doing here?
14:55You are at a party
14:57Right?
14:58You're having fun
14:58You're laughing
15:00You are not the same scared little girl you were yesterday
15:03I thought that's exactly what you wanted
15:05And I thought Rex was my mate
15:07That we were stashing some vapes
15:09He used me
15:09How ungrateful can you be?
15:11Right?
15:12You're driving around in your nice car
15:14You're living in your own flat
15:15You don't pay any bills
15:16I'm doing that
15:17Right?
15:18No-one else is doing that for you
15:19What's the last thing Darren did for you?
15:22You deserve to be taken care of
15:25Right?
15:25You deserve to have everything you want in the world
15:27And why not?
15:29Why not have the parties and the drugs and the jewellery
15:33Right?
15:33This never has to end
15:35As long as we what?
15:37Sleep with men
15:38See, you're doing it again
15:40You're overthinking it
15:42Right?
15:43Sex shouldn't be a bad experience
15:46Right?
15:47It could be fun
15:48It could be romantic
15:49It could be anything you want it to be
15:51I mean, you enjoyed your night with Cooper, didn't you?
15:55Yeah, I did
15:56But I didn't know then that he paid for me
15:58Listen, Frankie
16:00All those men downstairs are looking at you
16:03Like you're the most gorgeous, glamorous, confident young woman
16:07Right?
16:08You can be anonymous here
16:10You can start again
16:11You are not the victim anymore
16:14And you can learn to enjoy being with a man consensually for the first time in your life
16:24So, do we get to choose who we go with or not?
16:28Of course you do
16:30I've not just dragged these guys off the street
16:34They've been carefully vetted
16:35They are safe
16:36Right?
16:37And think of the opportunities these guys can introduce you to
16:42This is unbelievable
16:44She's 17
16:45And you know what she's been through
16:47Yeah, and for once
16:48She is in control
16:50Listen
16:51I would never put either of you in a situation that I didn't think was safe
16:56Right?
16:56You don't have to sleep with anyone you don't want to
16:59You get to choose who you want to be with
17:03Right?
17:03You're in control
17:04You enjoy it
17:05And you'll see this is just a taste of the good life
17:14All sorted
17:17Who are you?
17:19What do you mean?
17:21I just mean you're really brilliant with James
17:23Knowing about sleep training and that
17:24But you're also a little bit damaged
17:27The next minute, you're kind to Lucas
17:29But you're also like playing the hard man
17:31So who's the real Rex?
17:36I wish I knew
17:40Did your last boyfriend ever find out?
17:45I've never had one
17:47Well, you've never been in love before?
17:52Sex was always, um
17:55A means to an end
17:59Mostly with people that were bad for me
18:02And what does that mean?
18:07I did what they made me do
18:15What do you reckon?
18:16Should we get out of there?
18:17Why would we want to go back to the life that we had before?
18:22Yeah, and Grace wants us to lie in our pockets
18:26Yeah, we get the drugs
18:27We get the lifestyle
18:29Right, and I get to be normal
18:31I don't have to be afraid anymore of
18:34Men and
18:36Sex
18:38She's right
18:40I don't have to be a victim
18:46Is this really the answer?
18:48Are we actually safe?
18:49Frankie, we can just walk away
18:52We can just go
18:54Pretend like none of this ever happened
18:55Right, but why?
18:57Why, when I am getting something out of this
19:01I'm finally in control
19:05I thought I had control over it
19:07But I didn't
19:08And I knew it wasn't right
19:12It's damaged me
19:18I've never really got over it
19:24All that's changed now
19:26You're in my life
19:31I feel like I've only just scratched the surface with you
19:52You know, this doesn't have to be a bad thing
19:56And besides
19:59You've already done it
20:19Still here
20:22Thought he'd have been snapped up by now
20:28Yeah, well, I guess I'm just picky
20:32Fans going somewhere a bit more private
20:44Yeah
20:45Yeah
20:45Why not
20:48Got nothing to lose
20:59I don't know
21:02I don't know
21:06I don't understand
21:08I don't know
21:14I don't know
21:23I feel like I'm just somebody
21:24I'm just ineffective
21:24I don't know
21:27I don't know
21:31I can't feel free
