Episode 12 EastEnders: E20

Donnie!

Donnie!

Donnie!

3 Albert Square, Walford. Hurry up, yeah?

Where you going?

Don't make me regret I didn't throw that thing at you.

DOORBELL RINGS

Richard Vance?

You're under arrest for sexual assault.

Where's the victim?

Downstairs.

You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention...

KNOCKING

Ava?

KNOCKING

Ava, can I come in?

Ava, I'm PC Rasheed.

We have to take you for some questions and some checks.

Is that OK?

It won't be with him at the police station, it'll be somewhere safe.

Have you got anyone to come with you?

Erm...I don't know.

You're Faith? Yeah.

I have to take your statement as evidence of early complaint.

Can you, like, send someone here? Of course.

Ava?

I want to come.

It's up to you, Ava.

Did you call this in? yeah? Yeah, but I made it up.

I'm a compulsive liar. Now get in your crappy car and sod off!

Sorry, darling. I'm not going anywhere. Oi! not without...

Not without a story anyway.

We need to do a forensic examination and a medical exam.

It's not pleasant, but it's important.

And we'll arrange an STI test and the morning-after pill.

Have you had a shower since last night?

No.

That helps.

It means it's easier for us to collect evidence.

You OK?

Let's go back, yeah?

He was always a bit dodgy, you know?

I swear I once caught him looking at me when I was in the shower.

I know how it feels.

What?

Nothing. I'm being serious.

I felt bare, exposed and stuff. Can we go back?

I don't want to go in there. That's fine.

I don't want to ever go in there again. You don't have to.

Are you sure?

Cos I'll take it, you know. Bare room, boy!

You can have my crib.

KNOCKING AT DOOR

DOORBELL RINGS

DOORBELL RINGS

Hello again, is Olivia there? I told you. It was a mistake.

There is no Olivia here. Now go. That's her!

What's going on? Why have you changed your name?

Any comments for the family of the old couple that died? I'm sorry. Can someone explain?

Is this because of him?

Because he doesn't fancy you? No.

You want to be me, you can have it!

You can have no parents and go to jail and live in care.

And I'll go to the posh boarding school and be the spoilt little princess,

with Grandma living just across the Square when I get in trouble. Sound fair? I didn't know.

Listen, there is nothing to see here.

Now, can you all just step off? Leave us alone.

Where did Olivia go? Are you deaf? There is no Olivia!

NO Olivia! Understand? How well do you know Olivia?

All right, you asked for this.

I thought it was over.

What do they want?

Ava?

What is it about Olivia Bryan?

Ava?

Tell me.

When I was 12,

I had these friends.

We just used to muck about, you know, have fun.

One of them...

I don't know who it was,

found this empty house.

It had loads of letters in the letterbox.

And we thought it'd be cool to light them.

The house wasn't empty.

When I went to the unit,

everyone knew who I was.

Everyone knew that I was Olivia Bryan.

The girl who killed the old couple.

They looked at me like I was a monster.

So when I got out,

I decided never to let anyone know who I was again.

I decided to be Ava.

Excuse me. Let me through. Let me through! You!

Stop that right now!

Do you mind? That's invading privacy.

Go away!

I'm entitled to be here.

Go away, or you'll regret it.

All right.

My name is Theresa.

And as you can see,

I am your new care worker.

You must be Faith Olubunmi.

I don't care.

You don't understand. I'm a terrible person.

I changed my name, I did everything right,

everything I could to get away from it all,

and still bad things happen.

What's wrong with me?

Nothing.

What's the point of even trying?

Because things can change.
