She said no!

-It's really weird.

-Hm?

-I think...

I think I love you more than I did 16 minutes ago.

More like 12...

Yeah!

LOUD MUSIC PLAYS

RINGS BELL TWICE THEN KNOCKS

Ron!

Ronnie!

'We can't just hide from her!'

Why not? Every time Roxy clicks her fingers, you jump, Ron.

She's fine. Roxy's always fine, ain't she?

Rox!

Rox!

Roxy!

What do you want, her and that Dean kicking off again?

Engagements, stag dos. Ain't we had enough drama for one day? Hm?

What time's your train?

I thought I might stay for a couple of days. Penny'll understand.

Do you want a drink?

Mm...

Yeah, I suppose.

Come on, babe! Don't be like this.

Roxy?

Dean!

I know what I saw, Dean!

What did you see exactly?!

Did you walk in on me punching her?

Did I give her a black eye?

You were holding her down!

No! No, I didn't, because she is my fiancee.

And if you really have to perve and know about my private life,

women like Roxy, they like it rough.

-What?

-If you hadn't stuck your nose in and embarrassed her,

she'd be here right now!

You were forcing her!

No. No!

If you really believe what you are saying, you are seriously...

You are wrong!

This has got to stop, Dean, understand me!

LAUGHTER AND SHOUTING

'It's not your fault.'

You couldn't have known.

I could, though.

Sharon.

I just can't stand all this waiting.

What if he wakes up and doesn't recognise me?

Sharon.

I think he moved.

Denny...

Denny?

-I dared you to be a lion!

-That was a big cat.

A lion is a cat.

Right, come on you!

Oh, well done(!)

Was it Les or Shrimpy who wanted the battered sausage?

I don't know, I can't remember.

You OK?

Yeah.

I'm just an idiot.

SHE SOBS

Roxy?

I'm so sorry.

What for?

I'm so sorry.

It's all right, darling. It's all right, sweetheart.

Linda...

I'm so sorry.

It's all right, it's all right.

Linda! It's all right, darling.

It's all right, Rox. It's all right.

It's OK, you're OK now.

She's poisoned your mind.

You finally bought into Linda's sick fantasies.

I'm a victim in this.

I am.

Rapist? Me?

Do you really think I'm a rapist?

Rape disgusts me.

I'm a victim.

What other bloke do you know

that could put up with this type of persecution?

This last year has been a witch hunt.

And she's won.

Linda's finally won. Because she's turned you against me.

My own mum.

I only stuck around here for you.

You can't go.

Listen to me, Dean.

You can't leave what's up here. You'll only take it with you.

Obviously, there are issues.

You must see that... and you, you need to talk.

-You need to talk to someone professional to figure it out.

-No.

-Please!

-Why?

Because I can't let you go. And...

I don't know how to help you.

How about you stop patronising me?

How about you actually step up and you put me first!

Me! Not Mick. Not Buster.

-Not Jade.

-Jade is your daughter!

And I'm your son. I'm your son!

So just be my mum.

-Stop it, Dean. Stop it.

-Just please be my mum!

Why was I never good enough for you? Why?

What did I do so wrong?

Why was I never good enough for you, ever?

Stop it.

You're supposed to be there no matter what,

you're supposed to care about me, no matter what.

What is so wrong with standing by your own son?

Just please, please, I am begging you, make it better.

Please make it better, Mum.

OK.

Please.

OK.

-Please make it better.

-OK.

HE SOBS

Shh. Shh.

Denny...

Denny, do you know who I am?

Denny, it's Mummy.

'He wouldn't let me go.'

I finally get the guts to get up and leave him and...

-I just couldn't make him listen to me.

-I know.

How the hell has he done this again?

You know, if Shirley hadn't walked in...

I was so scared. I was scared of him, of my own fiance.

And I know what you said, I know.

I know what everybody said, but I trusted him!

Cos you know, at the end of the day,

I've only ever really just wa...

He said he loved me.

You know this isn't your fault.

Where is he?

Cos there's a pub full of men out there who would happily hang that bleet up by his knackers.

Mum!

Look, I know. I know it's not my fault...

It's Dean's.

You should go to the police.

Yeah, I know.

We'll come with you.

I'll go back to the pub.

No, Mum.

I don't want you running your mouth off until this is over with, OK?

Come on. We'll give you a lift.

You won't be long, will you?

Thank you.

For coming with me.

PHONE BUZZES

ANOTHER PHONE RINGS

'If you are cold calling,

'selling something or telling us you can repair our computer, please hang up now.

'Otherwise leave a message

'and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

'Phil, where are you? Denny's awake and he said my name.

'The doctor reckons it's a good indication'

that there's no brain damage...

Well, wherever you are,

I just thought that you might be remotely interested.

Can I have a cab, please?

You've been robbed.

That's what I said to the second hand dealer.

Hey, Shirl, love.

You seen Mick's car?

No, it would have been L, would have been L, the little star.

I guarantee you now, Beale ain't got a drop of cod about him.

With Elaine in the front,

they'll probably end up in Southend wouldn't they, eh?

Mind you, I do like a little pot of winkles.

Oh, I bet you love a winkle, you winkle nut.

You all right Shirl, love?

No.

No... She's more than all right. Look at her. She's beautiful.

Beautiful. For an old girl.

You've changed your tune.

No, I've always loved her.

No, the past is the past. Nightmare over... And we're going to...

We're going to look forward.

And I'll tell you why we're going to look forward.

Cos I'm getting married!

Yeah.

You coming back?

There you go, darling.

You're taking a risk being here.

What if Phil turns up, or someone tips off the police?

I've got the right people on my side.

I'm a master of disguise.

Worth it to see our boy open his eyes.

I'm glad you called.

Look, Sharon, I've got plans.

I'm leaving for Hong Kong.

How? When?

Soon. Look, I don't want to pry, but if Phil doesn't show...

What I mean is...

If you wanted a new start, you know, when Dennis is better...

..you could join me?

She could change her mind, that's all I'm saying.

Will you give her a minute? It takes guts to walk in there.

I'm just saying, what did the police actually do for you?

How many times? I left it too late.

You know that!

Um... Thank you for the lift.

What?!

Don't. Move.

I can't believe I'm doing this.

I never really make a decision about anything.

Takes me about half an hour to choose which pair of shoes to wear.

Do you think it's going to take long?

Cos I need to get home

and I need to check on Amy and tell her good night,

and she's forgotten her toothbrush, so...

Oh, come on, why am I even doing this? He didn't...

He didn't...

It's so important that you're here.

Do you want me to come in with you?

No. No.

Yes, please.

We're doing this for our daughters, OK?

Elaine. What? Say it again.

MUSIC: Roll With It by Oasis

What?!

It's just this is home, you know.

Understood. Will you keep in touch?

Look, thanks for coming.

Oh, and I forgot to say, thank you for my present.

It suits you.

Sharon!

Well, Roxy is down the police right now calling Dean a rapist

and I don't know what to do

cos Elaine told me to tell Mick,

and, you know, if I tell Mick, he's going to go mad.

But he'll go mad if I don't tell him.

No. Don't do anything.

What do you mean?

He's MY boy.

Then we'll have a drive over to our East London Haven,

photograph any injuries, take swabs...

and after that we'll bring you back here to take your statement.

It's not as bad as it sounds.

I did tell them at the desk.

It happened to me an' all.

Same man.

Ah. Right.

You might want to make a call.

Your being here would be an issue if the CPS decide to pursue the case.

What, so she can't come with me?

It's OK. We won't leave you on your own.

What about Ronnie?

No.

It's all right, I'm a big girl, ain't I?

I have a bikini wax every month and I pay for the pleasure.

How bad can it be?

The worst is over.

Roxy. Listen to me. You are doing the right thing.

You're doing the brave thing. This next bit...

It can't be as bad as a bikini wax.

OK. OK.

Words are cheap! And you, you are full of it...

Look, once again, you leave me to carry the can. On my own!

I am sorry.

What is more important right now than that little boy?

Well, go on!

You know I hate you! I actually hate you.

Sharon, I'm sorry, all right?

And from now on, I swear to you, I will not go anywhere.

OK? I promise.

Please... Please.

Oh, you are kidding me?!

You never said don't make a phone call.

What is the point of us giving statements

-if you can't keep your mouth shut?!

-I was acting in your best interest.

How?

Well, Mick's best interest.

He's going to be your husband, he's got rights.

He's already thumped Dean once tonight!

If Mick kicks off now, it'll ruin everything!

The prosecution will fall apart.

Everything Roxy's going through in there legally will count for nothing.

All because of one stupid phone call!

We have to do things right this time, Mum.

Fine.

So now you have to make a statement.

What? What a complete waste of time.

Where were you? I thought you'd gone without me.

I saw Tina.

Roxy's gone to the police.

What?

I thought she loved me.

I think she did.

What, are they buying it?

Does she know how much trouble that I'm going to be in?

OK. OK. We need to go and we need to go now.

No.

You need to bath first.

What?

And I need to burn your clothes.

We're not going to run, Dean, we're going to walk.

And if you're stopped, I don't want them to find anything on you

that they can use to fit you up.

All right, yeah.

Where's Mick? Where is he?!

Right, Buster, give me something nice. I'm sick of all the...

LOUD DRUNKEN CHATTERING

Oh, thank God you didn't tell him.

No.

Only Shirley.

She said she'd handle it.

How?

We can go anywhere we like once we leave the country.

Be like a holiday...

We never had a holiday, did we, Mum?

No.

'I love you.'

You know that, don't you?

No.

I've always loved you.

Shirley!!

Shirley!!

Shirley?

It's my fault.

No. Sit.

SIRENS IN DISTANCE

FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

You tried to kill me! You actually tried to kill me!

Why? Why? Because I'm in the way again, is that it?

Because you didn't want to come away with me? I should break your neck for trying!

-Oi!

-You are sick!

All those years waiting for my mum and it turned out you weren't worth waiting for.

Yeah, well, we never are, are we, Dean? It's because you're pathetic.

If I was your mum, I'd be ashamed an' all!

What is your problem with me?

Do you still fancy me or something? Do you want another go?

I never fancied you!

What did you say to me that night?

"You're a good-looking man, Dean. I've got feelings for you"!

That's what you said. "You can trust me. You are wanted."

I was being nice. It was never meant like that!

Did you, or did you not, say it?

Yes! But I... I was trying to make you feel better about yourself!

I think you'll find it was the other way round.

You are a child, Dean!

There is nothing, nothing about you that turns me on.

You are a little boy that never learned right from wrong.

What are you now? A psychiatrist?

Who thinks if he kicks hard enough he'll get what he wants,

but you can't! You can't force someone to want you.

Not me. Not poor Roxy. No never means yes!

Poor Roxy?! Don't start with that poor Roxy stuff.

Don't go buying her sob story.

She's been deliberately provoking me for a long time -

you've no idea how that feels.

-So this was all Roxy's fault?

-Well, how is it mine?

Like it was my fault an' all?

It was my fault you raped me?

Yes! Yes! Yes, it was!

SIRENS IN THE DISTANCE

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

Are you ready to give us your statement now?

Yes.

Mick!

What's happened?

Dean's tried to rape Roxy.

She's at the Old Bill station now.

What the hell happened?

L! Where is he? Did he touch you?

He admitted it, Mick.

Tina, have they caught him?

He admitted what?

Dean ain't going to get far.

I know him. He won't let this go.

He finally told the truth.

Dean admitted that he raped me.

He can get as far away and as quickly as possible, for all I care,

if he knows what's good for him.

Shirley's right.

He can do what he wants.

Son?

I'm... I'm truly sorry.

Come here.
