00:06This all actually started with a boy called Ravi.
00:10He wasn't like my usual crowd.
00:12He was, um, streetwise.
00:14I was a bit snobbish.
00:15He drove a car without insurance, and that to me was like, whoa.
00:21You know, I, um, called him my gangster friend.
00:30I can have you floating on cloud nine.
00:31No aviator, my intentions is much greater.
00:35Thanks for that.
00:38See you next week.
01:03I didn't know what to do at first.
01:05I mean, I didn't normally accept requests from boys who I didn't know.
01:09Jab, jab, cross.
01:11Okay, Ravi.
01:12Jab, jab, oh.
01:13Sorry, sorry, sorry, man.
01:15Sorry, wait, I'll be fine.
01:16Ravi, what are you doing?
01:20Alright, Dad.
01:20Yes, man.
01:22You're gone.
01:23Yep.
01:24Oh, gee.
01:26Yeah, I got it.
01:28What's up?
01:32Nothing.
01:33Taking your time.
01:34No, it's taking his time.
01:36Okay.
01:36Yeah.
01:37Yeah?
01:37Let's see the pushes.
01:38Let's go.
01:39That's it.
01:40You got that in you?
01:41Oh, yeah?
01:41Of course, mate.
01:42Let's go.
01:42Yes.
01:46And yeah, like Ravi,
01:49Gagan became another secret I didn't tell my family about.
02:00Gagan was already making a name for himself with his Sikh TV channel.
02:04He seemed respectful, progressive.
02:08I like that.
02:13You know what the truth is?
02:16I mean, we are different when we return to the faith.
02:19If we see others smoking weed or drinking or eating burgers, we want to do it.
02:30If we see other people dating, we want to do it.
02:35And we might start looking at women in the wrong way.
02:41You know, the lust comes in because you're in that environment.
02:47You've put yourself there.
02:50And that's why I say when you look in the mirror, have the courage to stand out.
02:56It will remind you what you chose for yourself at your highest level of consciousness.
03:04Vahe Guruji ka kalsa, Vahe Guruji ki fater.
03:23You're popular.
03:26Is it all right?
03:27I kind of hate everyone looking at me, but still feel compelled to do it.
03:35No, you're a natural.
03:39It's, uh, it's good to meet you in real life.
03:48You know my mate, don't you?
03:51Yeah, we, um, we do karate together.
03:54Sounds fun.
03:56Maybe I'll, uh, come along.
03:58You should.
04:01Gagan and Ravi, they couldn't have been more different.
04:04Really, my son was clever, ambitious.
04:07But Ravi, who's weak, easily led.
04:12Gagan was so kind to him.
04:14So kind.
04:15He, he loved him like, like a brother.
04:19And they were very close.
04:23Until she came along.
04:31Well, look at this.
04:40Yeah.
04:41Good call, guys.
04:422
04:431
04:502
04:551
04:573
04:584
04:595
04:597
05:006
05:006
05:10killing
05:26Left?
05:28No, no.
05:30I can take her.
05:32Yeah.
06:11Hey.
06:12How was the ride?
06:14It was good of him to drive me all the way back there.
06:17Yeah, all good of him.
06:19He's got everything, doesn't he?
06:22Hmm?
06:23Fancy car, fancy job.
06:28Gets everything he wants in the end.
06:30So, you're too close now?
06:31What?
06:32He's a friend.
06:33I bet you're a friend.
06:35Right.
06:36Does he know that?
06:38Why?
06:40Are you jealous?
06:44Well, what if I was?
06:48Besides, he doesn't do boyfriend-girlfriend.
06:50He's not looking for a girlfriend.
06:53He wants a wife.
06:57Oh, we can wear like Matthew Clarins!
07:10No, you're not holding up today.
07:14There he is!
07:17How are you?
07:21Hey, you fancy having a drink with your old man?
07:23I'm okay. Thank you, Dad.
07:24Come on.
07:25It's just one.
07:27I mean, it's a bit much.
07:28I was gonna say.
07:29Just a small drink.
07:29No, I appreciate the gesture, but I said no, okay.
07:33And I don't think you should be doing it either.
07:35Whoa.
07:37What happened to you, Gogi? You used to be fun, you did.
07:40Oh, leave him alone.
07:41Kids are different these days.
07:43They want different things.
07:43The question is, what is it that they want?
07:45What do you want?
07:46What do you want?
07:46What do you want?
07:47Stop.
07:49Who's that?
07:50Some curry.
07:51No, he's not.
07:52He's not a girlfriend.
07:52He doesn't have a girlfriend.
07:54No, no, no.
07:55Guys, just Ravi.
07:56Okay.
07:57Anyway, I've got to go.
08:00Say hi to Ravina.
08:02Don't be late, okay?
08:03Ravina.
08:04I love you.
08:07Bye, Gogi.
08:08Bye.
08:09He's so handsome.
08:14I only met Guggan's mum once.
08:16You seemed really keen for me to meet her.
08:19It didn't go too well.
08:25Saasliya Gandhi.
08:26I'm Mandil, a friend of Guggan's.
08:29Is he in?
08:29I've got his jacket.
08:30I thought I'd drop it off.
08:32Oh.
08:33How did you get his jacket?
08:34If he's not in, I can just wait for him.
08:36Oh, no, no, no.
08:37It's fine.
08:37I can give it to him.
08:38No, that's okay.
08:38I'm sure it won't be long.
08:47He's never mentioned her before?
08:49No.
08:50Do you think he likes her?
09:02Have you eaten?
09:04No.
09:04Yes.
09:12I didn't like her.
09:14I didn't like her.
09:14The minute I saw her, I didn't like her.
09:17I just knew.
09:17You can just tell, can't you?
09:19With some of these girls, you can just, you can just tell.
09:22And I knew.
09:23From the minute I saw her,
09:26I just didn't trust her.
09:28He was the one that we have.
09:30I didn't like her.
09:32Forget her.
09:39No.
09:43I just want her.
09:44How did you know she's not in, what?
09:47So she's not wearing.
09:49I think she was in, what?
09:52Who is she is wearing?
09:54No.
09:55Well, no, no.
09:55No.
09:56Yeah.
09:58I have a man of love
10:01People in your face
10:03I have a man of a man of a man of a man
10:11Come on...
10:15Come on...
10:17Come on...
10:19It's your mom...
10:19Come on...
10:20Come on...
10:22Listen...
10:24Please...
10:29I love you.
10:32When he told me he loved me, I didn't know what to say.
10:40The truth is, I really only saw him as a friend.
10:45There's never anything more than that for me.
11:00Yeah, I had a great time.
11:03Maybe see you next week.
11:16Bundle really liked you, wasn't it?
11:18She was up until 2am talking about me, was she?
11:22It wasn't that late.
11:23Yes, it was. I waited up for you.
11:26She's a good girl, Mum.
11:31Come on, Baba.
11:33Do you think that you're the only one she's doing this with?
11:36Going out all hours of the night.
11:40She most definitely is not a good girl.
11:52She's my best friend.
11:56I know.
11:58Girls and boys cannot be friends.
12:00I told you this before.
12:02Anyway, I just couldn't accept her in her house.
12:07She's not the right girl for you.
12:10Hmm?
12:18Yeah, yeah, so I used to wash his hair when he's in the bath.
12:22Yes, so he's 21.
12:24You know, he used to say to me,
12:27Mum, do you not think that you shouldn't be doing this?
12:30Because other mums don't do this anymore.
12:32And I said, I don't care.
12:36You'll always be my child.
12:53Look at that.
12:53Look at that.
12:54Look at that.
12:54Look at that.
13:08Look at that.
13:10Look at that.
13:15Look at that.
13:18Look at that.
13:18Everything okay?
13:21What about Dad?
13:28Gagan's father was murdered in India
13:32By a close friend
13:35It was shocking
13:41He was never the same after that
14:22He was never the same after that
14:22He was a kid
14:28Are you okay?
14:31I wish I could have told him how much I loved him.
14:35I needed him.
14:38I feel so...
14:42alone.
14:44You're not alone.
14:45I'm here.
14:50Do you mind if we stay on the phone for a bit?
14:53Yeah.
14:55Of course.
14:58Guggan started to rely on me more and more after his dad died.
15:04You know, he was always texting, calling really late into the night.
15:10I saw him as a friend, but he started to become more needy and possessive.
15:23I valued his friendship, and I really, I worried about him, but at times it, at times it felt like
15:37emotional blackmail.
15:50More than once he turned up to Brighton out of the blue.
15:54That day I was alone in the house.
15:56I didn't think I was in danger.
15:59That's when it happened.
16:01Oh, uh, hi, I wasn't expecting you.
16:06I just wanted to wish you luck.
16:12It's embarrassing enough that I have to retake.
16:15It was the first time for everyone.
16:17Even little Miss Perfect.
16:21They're beautiful.
16:23The thing is, uh, sounds lame.
16:27I know one of my car lights is busted.
16:30Bit of a drag to drive all the way back now on the motorway.
16:34Oh, uh, it's just that I'm, I'm by myself here.
16:39I promise I won't get in your way, or bother you.
16:43Um.
16:45It's not a problem, is it?
16:48No.
16:49No.
16:50No, come in.
17:01I can't see up chatting.
17:03You know that, right?
17:07You can, uh, hang out in here.
17:09I'll be upstairs.
17:10Can't you just stay for a bit?
17:14Please?
17:17Please?
17:19You know I can't go again.
17:22Uh.
17:24I'll be upstairs, okay?
17:26I need to study for my exam tomorrow.
17:53What?
17:55You know what?
18:00I don't need to concentrate.
18:03Why?
18:04The sofa's doing my back in.
18:09I'm fine.
18:11I'm forgiven.
18:11You can have it.
18:13What?
18:14My bed.
18:17Oh.
18:18Well, where are you going?
18:21Downstairs.
18:23You sleep.
18:25I'll always down there.
18:42I'll always down there.
18:44I'll always down there.
18:45I'll always down there.
18:46I'll always down there.
18:46I'll always down there.
18:47I'll always down there.
18:48I'll always down there.
18:51I'll always down there.
18:55What now?
18:59I can't take your bed for God's sake.
19:03You're the one taking the exam tomorrow.
19:07Go back up there, okay?
19:09I'm shattered.
19:11I know.
19:43There we go.
20:08There we go.
20:34There we go.
20:38There we go.
20:47There we go.
20:52There we go.
21:02There we go.
21:07There we go.
21:14I can't stop.
21:16I can't stop.
21:28I can't stop.
21:30I can't stop.
21:32I can't stop.
21:33I can't stop.
21:33I can't stop.
21:36I can't stop.
21:37I can't stop.
21:46Oh, my God.
21:49Oh, my God.
21:53I'm sorry.
21:57My thumbs.
22:03I'm so sorry.
22:05I don't know.
22:12I don't know.
22:16That wasn't me.
22:19You know that wasn't me.
22:21Okay.
22:24I love you.
22:29I would do anything for you.
22:31I wouldn't do anything to hurt you.
22:32You know that.
22:34I'm sorry, okay?
22:38I'm sorry.
22:42Get out.
22:43Mundo.
22:44I've got the police.
22:45Mundo.
22:47Mundo.
22:49Please.
22:52Get out.
22:54Get out.
22:59I'm sorry.
23:03I'm sorry.
23:08I would never do anything to hurt you.
23:13I would do anything for you.
23:18I'm sorry.
23:23I love you.
23:25I love you so much.
23:29I think I need some help.
23:35Is it okay if I talk about this to someone?
23:45Get out.
23:46Get out.
23:47Get out.
24:03I think I can try to rape me.
24:07I didn't go to the police.
24:09I didn't report it.
24:11I thought it was my fault.
24:14I let him stay.
24:17Who could see a girl does that?
24:21What if my family found out?
24:25What if the community found out?
24:27Who'd leave me anyway?
24:31They'd say that I was leading him on.
24:37I felt too ashamed.
24:41I knew if I told my parents or brother this is what happened,
24:46I'd be disappointed.
24:49So I kept it to myself.
25:07Bugs, bugs.
25:08Bugs, bugs.
25:09Bugs, chill, chill.
25:15Get it.
25:23Pull out the back.
25:44When she said in court Guggan did this, you know,
25:49I was very upset.
25:52Because you're only hearing one side of the story.
25:56For six months, she didn't say anything publicly.
26:01Nothing.
26:02And I knew she'd say whatever she has to say to make her story stronger.
26:06Guggan did this.
26:06Guggan did that.
26:07But for six months, you don't say anything publicly?
26:11And your brother is a police officer.
26:14Why wouldn't you go to your brother and say,
26:16Now, you see this guy on TV who's pretending to be really pure?
26:20This is what he did to me.
26:22She only said what she said when it was useful to her.
26:26Because the fact is, they were very close.
26:30They spent a lot of time with each other.
26:32Evenings, phone calls throughout the night.
26:36You know she let him stay at her house.
26:40Why?
26:43Why?
26:48I don't know.
27:13I don't know.
27:18Mandel never had any sexual intimacies with any boys, ever.
27:23She wasn't interested in sex.
27:26Following the incident, she just seemed angry.
27:32She always had a very carefree attitude, and this had gone, and she just seemed burdened,
27:39and just quite withdrawn with all this load that she just couldn't shift.
27:50Don't pick up.
27:51What's the problem?
27:54He'll give up eventually.
27:58That's too many times. You can't be calling me that many times.
28:01Mandel said that he was a lovely guy, but she was being hassled by him.
28:06He told her that he loved her.
28:08He proposed marriage to her.
28:13He was depressed.
28:15She didn't want to cut off contact because she was scared that he might harm himself.
28:22How many times he's texted me?
28:23Yeah, you should block him.
28:25Let's call him.
28:25Yeah, you can.
28:29I don't know. That's not right.
28:30His phone calls caused her stress and would create flashbacks.
28:37He...
28:38Well, after August, he threatened to commit suicides unless she agreed to meet him.
28:51them for purposes only are one, not one, not one, not one.
29:02That's that's massive!
29:04What do you want?
29:05I don't know.
29:54This isn't something's happened. It's fucked up, bro. I need to see you.
30:00A bit like now. It's about Goggin.
30:06What the fuck have you done? What the fuck have you done?
30:23Is Goggin in? No. No, he's not.
30:27Where is he? I don't know. I don't know where he is.
30:30Alright, well, tell him I came round, yeah? You'll know why.
30:37I know he's in there, bro. He can't hide forever. I won't let him.
30:41We need to teach him a lesson. Call him again, budgie.
30:49Goggin? Goggin? Are you okay, bubba?
30:52Yeah.
30:59Don't you know I'm no good for you?
31:06I've learned to lose. You can't afford to.
31:15Tore my shirt to stop you, baby.
31:43Why did he do this to leave on me?
31:52What can I do? You have to do something.
31:57There's someone I think you should meet.
32:02A friend.
32:05I think he can help. He lives on the estate.
32:09Who knows Goggin too?
32:32You know Goggin?
32:34Yeah, we go way back. You know, um, when his dad, he'd come to me for advice on something like
32:40that.
32:40Sometimes, that sort of thing.
32:43Okay, look, let's be real here. Goggin is in a lot of trouble. And he needs our help.
32:51You want to help him?
32:53We need to make him realise how important it is for Avanda to respect a woman.
32:56Hmm.
32:58Okay.
32:58When you choose what Goggin has chosen, and that is a strict religious path, okay?
33:04And when you fall off that path, you rely on people around you who care for you to tell you
33:09what's right from wrong, right?
33:11Yeah, yeah. We just, we want to teach him a lesson.
33:13A lesson in seek values.
33:14Right, exactly.
33:16Now, the problem is that Goggin has completely stopped responding to my messages.
33:20And we need to bring him back into the hole.
33:22You said he sought out your advice.
33:23Yeah, no, he did, but right now his mind state is, is, it's gone.
33:28He has no interest to hear what I have to say at the moment.
33:32Yeah.
33:35He'll respond to me.
33:37He's always texting you?
33:38Yeah.
33:39Matter of fact, Mandela, you're the only person he will respond to.
33:43Yeah.
33:47I don't want to see him.
33:49I mean, you wouldn't be alone with him.
33:53I can't.
33:55I can't.
33:55When I see him, it all comes back to me.
33:58I understand, Mandela, but listen to me.
34:00This is really important, okay?
34:03For us.
34:05For Goggin.
34:06For you.
34:08Just think about it.
34:29You're all right.
34:30What's wrong?
34:33Some friends want to sort out.
34:36You know.
34:37So he won't bother me again.
34:39Sort out.
34:40For me.
35:01Yeah.
35:14Oh, oh, oh, oh.
35:43Vaheguru Ji ki kalsa, Vaheguru Ji ki fathah.
35:48Where there is greed, there is death.
35:53Where there is forgiveness, there is God Himself.
35:58We cannot embrace Vaheguru's forgiveness if we cling to past wounds.
36:09Forgiveness releases us from the burden of hate.
36:15Forgiveness is not a reward.
36:18It is given, gifted, whether someone has deserved it or not.
36:28Forgiveness isn't a sign of weakness.
36:30To forgive takes courage.
36:37Let me be you for a minute.
36:42I've never told anyone this before, but there was this weird thing that happened.
36:48You know, Guggs kept getting these messages from some girl who loved his videos.
36:52And, uh, his responses were kinda lame.
36:59We'd just get, like, just frozen.
37:03He was such a good looking guy, man.
37:05Like, he got so awkward around women he liked in that way.
37:11I just...
37:14I just really wanted to help him.
37:17Okay, Rita.
37:19What?
37:28Hey.
37:56What the fuck, Jazz?
37:58What?
37:58What?
37:58That was too much!
37:59Bro, you wanna meet in real life, right?
38:01This internet chat's not real.
38:04I'm not looking today, okay?
38:07Guggs.
38:10He got so mad at me after that.
38:12And, um...
38:13And then later...
38:15You know...
38:18After everything that happened, uh...
38:21I realised that...
38:23Maybe that girl wasn't real.
38:27I have a feeling it was Robbie.
38:29He was pretending to be that girl.
38:31He was trying to trick Guggs and he was...
38:33He was deliberately trying to get Guggs in trouble.
38:54Hi, this is Guggs.
38:55Sorry, I can't take your call right now.
38:57Please leave a message after the tone.
39:03Guggs, bro.
39:04How long are you gonna keep this up for?
39:06Call me back now!
39:34I'll catch you guys up in a bit.
39:45What is that?
39:47You definitely haven't heard from him.
39:52You sure?
39:54I'd hate to think what would happen if...
39:55No, nothing.
39:57For months.
39:58My texts, my things.
40:01You know what I told you if I had?
40:03I'd tell you everything.
40:09It's just...
40:14There's something you should know.
40:17What?
40:20You're not gonna like it.
40:23Tell me.
40:28Sonny's heard rumours that Dagen's been...
40:34inappropriate...
40:35with other girls.
40:41Like it was with you.
40:48Of course my son wasn't harassing and bothering lots of girls.
40:52Where were these other girls?
40:53Tell me, where were they?
40:54Not one girl came forward.
40:56Not one.
40:56There was no me too, me too, me too.
40:58Before or after.
41:00And the police, they checked out the story.
41:03Nothing.
41:04They made it all up.
41:05She made it all up.
41:07It's a bunch of lies.
41:09That's what it is.
41:10A bunch of lies.
41:11it's just...
41:21Oh, my God.
41:24.
42:00Hey.
42:02Okay.
42:05It's not right what he did.
42:08It's not.
42:10I'll meet Sonny again.
42:14Get him to come around to yours Wednesday.
42:17We'll get Chinese.
42:19We'll need to suss him out, work out what we're going to do.
42:21I can state yours, right?
42:22On the sofa.
42:24Yeah.
42:28Are you sure, yeah?
42:38Yeah.
42:39Sure.
42:52Yeah.
42:58Yeah.
