-I'm the one telling the truth.

-I'm the one telling the truth.

-

-They're bound to believe you.

-People change their stories.

-Yes.

-It would be lovely

-if Aaron's conscience kicked in.

-But you have nothing to fear.

-The truth will out, Abi.

-Are you sure you can face them?

-It isn't too late

-to give evidence behind a screen.

-No.

-I want to stand in front of him...

-..so that everyone knows

-how vile he is.

-You're brave,

-and doing the right thing.

-Are you ready?

-Are you ready?

-

-Why wouldn't I be?

-Just asking. Who ate your breakfast?

-Did you cook them this morning?

-No.

-Where are they?

-Where are they?

-

-No idea, sorry.

-I'm glad the lads

-came to support him.

-I know you're scared of taking

-the stand. It's only a white lie.

-Then it'll all be over.

-He'd do it for you.

-He'd do it for you.

-

-Yes.

-There you are then.

-You have to do it.

-His army mates would hammer you

-if you jibbed.

-PHONE

-Hi, love. Where are you?

-OK. Hurry. You need to see Abi

-Tell him he's being unreasonable.

-We're due in court shortly.

-We're due in court shortly.

-so difficult for me?

-We won't be long.

-At last. I want it over.

-Which is more than you do for me.

-Tony wouldn't do it!

-That's enough.

-Or you'll be in the dock.

-Why are you doing this?

-Are you jealous?

-What?

-Tony and Aaron will be my stepsons

-once Brian and I marry.

-It doesn't mean I'll love you less.

-Love me?

-Please.

-I'm telling the truth, Mam.

-Miss Mackay is going to prove it.

-No luck?

-The next thing I remember is...

-Take your time, Miss Meredith.

-The next thing I remember

-is waking up on Tony's bed.

-I knew something...

-..wasn't right.

-I could feel it.

-I knew something had happened.

-Can you elaborate, Miss Meredith?

-I'm sorry.

-Tony...

-..Tony...

-..had taken advantage of me.

-He raped me.

-How did you know you'd been raped?

-I just knew.

-My top had been opened...

-..roughly...

-..and I wasn't wearing tights

-or anything.

-Your top was opened roughly.

-There were buttons missing

-and I wasn't wearing underwear.

-Do you remember taking them off?

-No.

-When I opened my eyes...

-..I saw Tony walking away

-from the bed, and out of the room.

-I'm sorry, but I have to ask

-the question again.

-Are you sure

-that Tony Edwards raped you?

-Perfectly sure.

-Thanks, Miss Meredith.

-Miss Meredith.

-You say that you woke up

-on Tony Edwards's bed.

-I've said what happened.

-You claim not to remember

-taking your underwear off.

-Because I didn't.

-He did.

-He did.

-

-Do you remember him doing it?

-No.

-So, you only think that he did?

-We were the only ones in there.

-Miss Meredith, did Tony Edwards

-threaten you as he left?

-No.

-Was he unpleasant towards you?

-Was he unpleasant towards you?

-

-No. He didn't say anything.

-Was he threatening or unpleasant

-during the party?

-No.

-Had he been unpleasant

-to you previously?

-No.

-Yet you say that Tony Edwards...

-..who had never threatened or

-been unpleasant to you, raped you.

-Because he did.

-He doesn't deny

-that you had sex...

-..but he denies raping you.

-He says that you

-wanted to sleep with him.

-What?

-No!

-These are Mr Edwards's words.

-"She was all over me like a rash."

-He says that you led him on.

-It isn't true.

-He has a witness who says it's true.

-He has a witness who says it's true.

-

-His brother is also a liar.

-So you say.

-You don't remember

-going upstairs or undressing.

-But you do remember

-that you didn't lead him on.

-Yes.

-How? You admitted to my learned

-colleague that you were drunk.

-Look.

-I didn't want to sleep with Tony.

-I didn't lead him on either.

-I can't stand him.

-You went to the party

-of a man you detest.

-Odd.

-Very odd.

-Members of the jury,

-I'd like you to study this photo.

-It's Miss Meredith

-in Blackpool last Easter.

-Also present are the defendant,

-Tony Edwards...

-..his brother, Aaron,

-his father, Brian Edwards...

-..and Miss Meredith's mother,

-Emma Meredith.

-They are laughing and drinking.

-It doesn't look to me like you

-hate Tony Edwards, Miss Meredith.

-It would appear

-you get on well with him.

-Wouldn't you agree?

-I went on holiday to keep Mam happy.

-She wanted me

-to get on with the boys...

-..because she's going out

-with Brian.

-I agreed because

-I knew Aaron would be there.

-We were good mates.

-That's why I went to the party.

-Aaron says you led his brother on.

-He's lying.

-Blood is thicker than water.

-For some.

-Miss Meredith.

-Why wait until 8 March

-before going to the police?

-I was scared.

-I was scared.

-

-Scared of what?

-Well...

-..it's complicated.

-Mam is seeing the father

-of the man who did that to me.

-People think Tony is a hero

-because he was in Afghanistan.

-I knew no-one would believe me.

-I knew no-one would believe me.

-

-Does anyone believe you?

-Objection, Your Honour.

-What others believe is irrelevant.

-Stick to the facts, Mr Lloyd.

-Stick to the facts, Mr Lloyd.

-

-I'm sorry, Your Honour.

-Why, on 7 March, did you decide

-to report it to the police?

-Mam and Brian got engaged.

-I knew I'd be stuck

-with the family forever.

-Thinking about that made me ill.

-I couldn't take any more.

-Jealousy, Miss Meredith.

-You'd have to share your mother

-once she married their father.

-No.

-Your mother's new family

-made you feel lonely.

-No way!

-Do you think I'd put myself

-through this because I'm jealous?

-You wouldn't be the first.

-You wouldn't be the first.

-

-Objection, Your Honour.

-I've been through hell.

-I've lost everything.

-Family, friends.

-I'm on my own and no-one cares.

-And it's all his fault.

-We'll adjourn now.

-The court will rise.

-They're coming, Llinos. Hurry.

-They're coming, Llinos. Hurry.

-

-OK.

-Stop staring at your phone

-and get to work!

-My sister wants to borrow

-my dress. She's not having it.

-Good story. Get a move on!

-Soup.

-Soup.

-

-That's 1, please.

-Two coffees, please.

-How do you think it's going?

-At first, I didn't think

-she stood a chance.

-After that, it could go either way.

-Cuppa?

-Are you OK?

-Are you OK?

-

-My car keys were here.

-Where's Aaron?

-Where's Aaron?

-

-In the witness room.

-No-one has seen him in over an hour.

-No-one has seen him in over an hour.

-

-Are you serious?

-Of course I am. Where is he?

-Of course I am. Where is he?

-

-I don't know.

-Where would he go?

-I don't know that either.

-I don't know that either.

-

-Think - and find him.

-Without his evidence,

-Tony could be looking at five years.

-Don't let her or her lapdog know.

-It would be music to her ears.

-Mam...

-..never used to be like that.

-Since she's been with Brian...

-..he always comes first.

-Come here.

-Where the hell have you been?

-Shift yourself back to court!

-Tony needs you.

-Dad...

-All you have to say

-is that you saw Abi leading Tony on.

-The jury will have to let him walk.

-The jury will have to let him walk.

-

-I didn't see that happening.

-I know, but Tony didn't rape Abi.

-I know, but Tony didn't rape Abi.

-

-No.

-He didn't.

-What?

-Tony didn't, Dad.

-I did.

-God knows what they do to you.

-God knows what they do to you.

-

-Worried about my health?

-Do what you like.

-At least I'm not on 30 a day now.

-At least I'm not on 30 a day now.

-

-A great comfort.

-I've kicked my dirty habits.

-I've kicked my dirty habits.

-

-If you say so.

-I can't, Dad.

-I can't, Dad.

-

-How could you!? You're married!

-Your wife is pregnant!

-Your wife is pregnant!

-

-I know.

-When I saw her lying there...

-What? You decided to help yourself?

-What? You decided to help yourself?

-

-I was sorry the minute I did it.

-Tony walked in

-and saw what had happened.

-He went nuts.

-He went nuts.

-

-Are you surprised?

-She woke up when Tony went back

-to check if she was OK.

-She saw the wrong bloke.

-You've let Tony take the blame?

-You always tell us

-to look out for one another.

-That's why I have to say

-Abi flirted with Tony.

-Tony thought he'd get off.

-But now the day is here...

-..I'm scared witless, Dad.

-What if I...

-What if I...

-

-You won't crack. And you're right.

-Look out for one another.

-Tony has looked after you.

-That's what you're going to do.

-If you do a runner again,

-I'll hammer you.

-No-one else must ever find out.

-Understand?!

-Come on.
