0:00:02 > 0:00:04He's only gone and lost his sodding teeth.
0:00:04 > 0:00:05- What, your Jimmy?- Yeah.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07- Again?- Yeah.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10I said, if you didn't come home blind drunk, you wouldn't lose them,
0:00:10 > 0:00:12would you, for God's sakes.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14But he's convinced I've hidden them.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17He's probably dropped them down toilet again.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18- Excuse me.- Maybe four.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21- Is it OK to clean in here? - Yeah, OK, so what I'll do is...
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Well, it will take me about 40 minutes, yeah.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Don't worry about it. Yeah, OK.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28And I'll grab a pizza, yeah.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29See ya. Bye.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Why would I want to hide them anyway, I said?
0:00:39 > 0:00:41To stop me going out, he says.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42I want you to go out, I says.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44- I'm sick of this...- Who's that?
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Oh, him. Supply teacher.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48So I told him.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50I said to him, you come home again in that state
0:00:50 > 0:00:53and it won't be just your teeth that's gone missing.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56It will be another part of your anatomy altogether.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00And one you consider far more precious than a set of teeth.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Come on, Rachel. Come on, love. RINGING TONE
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Thanks, Lou. Thanks. See you later.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Bye.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18PHONE RINGS
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Hi, Mum.- Rachel.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Can we talk?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Not now.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26I need to speak to you, love.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28I can't. I'm just picking up the kids.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- Seat belts.- Please, love, it's important.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- I'll call you later.- Listen to me.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Not now.- I've just seen him.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Who?
0:01:37 > 0:01:38He's still teaching.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46I've got to go.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48No, I'm coming round. MUM HANGS UP
0:01:48 > 0:01:49No, don't.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Mum.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Mum?
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Hiya, Gran!
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Hi, pet.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- What's Gran doing here?- Don't know.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09- Hiya.- Hi, love.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Go on inside. Come on, you two.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17- Can I come in?- No.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18He's at my school.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Go on upstairs. Go and play on Xbox.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- No piano practice?- No. Come on.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- Cool.- And you, young lady.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- How do you know it's him? - How could I forget?
0:02:50 > 0:02:52It was 30 years ago. He would have changed.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- It's him.- There's no way he'd still be teaching.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- He'd have been found out by now. - It's him.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Rachel, you've got to do something. - I'VE- got to do something?
0:03:01 > 0:03:03It's a bit too late for that, don't you think?
0:03:05 > 0:03:06I know I was wrong.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11My teacher abused me and you did nothing.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14I asked you what you wanted me to do and you said, "Do nothing."
0:03:14 > 0:03:17How can you expect a child to make a decision like that?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28You should go now. Ben will be back soon.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34If you don't report him, I will.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Don't you dare, you've got no right.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38You can't just let him walk away, all over again.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39I don't want my kids put through this.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Well, what about the kids he's teaching?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Do you want it to happen to them?
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Well, do you?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50It's in the past. It's staying there.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- <- He's in my room again! - I'm not doing anything!
0:03:52 > 0:03:54God. I don't want to talk about this any more.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Eddie, get out of there right now!
0:03:56 > 0:03:57< Get out!
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Please, go.- Please, Rachel, can't you see I'm trying to...
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Just go, Mum, there's nothing more to say. So just go.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Oh, you've got plenty more to say.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09You're just frightened.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Dad. Can I go to Laura's this weekend?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25She's having a sleepover for her birthday.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26I don't know about that.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Well, everyone else is going.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Who's everyone else?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32My friends. All of them.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Dad, please.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- I don't know, love. - It's just one night.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- Go on, then.- Yes! - But ask your mother.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- Ask me what?- Laura's birthday.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45She's having a sleepover and everyone's going.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46- No way.- What?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- I said, no.- But Dad said...
0:04:48 > 0:04:50I don't care what your dad said.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52That's not fair.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54EDDIE SNIGGERS
0:04:54 > 0:04:55Shut up.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Hey, sit.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34ECHOING: It's him.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37If you don't report him, I will.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Up and at 'em, Eddie, please.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Come on, little fella.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Don't you dare lie in.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Get out of bed.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Come on. Get that uniform on.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- BELL RINGS - Hey, guys. Wait.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Bye, then.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Hi, it's Rachel.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Yeah. Listen, I'm really sorry, but I'm going to have to call in sick.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Yeah, I'm sorry.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Thanks. Thanks.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- Hi.- Hi.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Can I come in?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Yeah, of course.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Haven't slept.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Me neither.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24There's nothing you can call me I haven't called myself.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Nothing you can throw at me I haven't thrown at myself.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30So go for it.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35I've thought of nothing else all night.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Do you realise how much of a hypocrite this makes you?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48It's been going on for 30 years and you haven't turned a hair.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Only now. Now that you can actually see the kids
0:07:51 > 0:07:54who might fall victim to him. Suddenly it's a crisis.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59It's always been a crisis.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04There've always been kids at risk.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08We lived with it then. So why not now?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10And I know.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14I just know just by the way you're looking at me
0:08:14 > 0:08:18that you think you are somehow more sensitive, more moral than me.
0:08:18 > 0:08:23Because you feel compelled to act while I do not.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Well, I can assure you...
0:08:27 > 0:08:30..I've always felt compelled to do something,
0:08:30 > 0:08:32but I've managed to live with it.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I, the victim, have managed to live with it,
0:08:35 > 0:08:37so how dare you say you can't?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Two things came together.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49The first was listening to the news, on the radio.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54All these people come forward to the public inquiry.
0:08:54 > 0:09:00Now, after years of being... silent, learning to disappear.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05And then...bang.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06I saw him.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Out of the blue like that.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15I felt so helpless.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Couldn't even open my mouth to speak.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23It's like he took the breath right out of me.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27And I thought, I can't, I can't let him do this to me again.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29To you?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- To us.- Why didn't you do something then?
0:09:34 > 0:09:40I've told you. I did what you told me to do.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42And you told me to do nothing.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45I said what you wanted to hear.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47And you wanted to hear, "Do nothing."
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- Yeah.- Why?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00I thought they'd kick you out.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- What?- I'd worked so hard to get you there.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11And it cost so much, your uniform and your kit,
0:10:11 > 0:10:13and your God knows what.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20And I told myself, who'd believe me anyway?
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Just a cleaner.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Just a single mother, bog Irish.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26I didn't belong there.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28They made that obvious every time I went there.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33That I should thank my lucky stars that my girl was in their school,
0:10:33 > 0:10:38so how dare I spread filth all over their lovely old floors.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43I'm so sorry they made you feel that way.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Go to the police.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- They'll say, "Why have you waited all this time?"- They won't.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Why would I want to put myself through that nightmare all over again?
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Why?
0:11:03 > 0:11:04What's the point?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Because it's the right thing to do.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17I'd have to tell Ben and the kids.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Yeah.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25No. I can't do that.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I'm the perfect mother to them, you see.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31And the perfect mother can never be a victim.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33You're not a victim.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36You're a survivor.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41And if you go to the police, you can put that man where he belongs.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51I can't, Mum.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56I just can't.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11TIMER BEEPS
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Tea's ready.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17I'm starving.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- What's to eat, Mum?- Looks great.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22What have we done to deserve this?
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Oh, nothing. Just felt like it.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- How was work?- Fine, and you?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Oh, patients all day, I'm exhausted.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Barely had time to pick up the kids.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37How did you find the time to do all this?
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- You all right, love?- Yeah, fine.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Just a bit quiet.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Need an early night, that's all.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55Right.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02" 'What would you do for your queen,' asked the Red Knight?
0:13:04 > 0:13:08" 'I would sacrifice my life for my queen,' replied Lancelot.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12"The Red Knight just laughed.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14"It was infectious.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15"Others started laughing, too.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22" 'We would all sacrifice our lives for our queen,' said the Red Knight.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24" 'But would you sacrifice your honour?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27" 'Would you lie for her?'"
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- Is he asleep?- Yeah.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58And Lyn?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00She's doing her homework.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Want a glass of wine? There's still some left.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06No, thanks.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I've something I need to talk to you about.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15Oh, yeah?
0:14:17 > 0:14:18Could you do that later?
0:14:20 > 0:14:21What's up?
0:14:24 > 0:14:25You sit down.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- What's wrong? - Will you sit down, please?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45I don't know how to say this.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48What's going on?
0:14:51 > 0:14:52I didn't go to work today.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54- No?- No.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57Mum came round yesterday.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00Why?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07HE SIGHS
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Come on, love, you're getting me worried now.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18There's something I haven't told you.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25When I was a kid at school...
0:15:27 > 0:15:28..I was abused by one of the teachers.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47I was 12.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Oh, Rachel...
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Why have you never told me this?
0:16:05 > 0:16:06I was too frightened.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14I was ashamed.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26It's confusing, being introduced to a man's body like that.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Your body betrays you.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38The confusion stays and...
0:16:41 > 0:16:43..it never goes.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55He stopped before I turned 13.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03I was an angry child.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Afterwards, I tried to forget about it.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18The memories come flooding back sometimes.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Smells and...
0:17:25 > 0:17:28..other things, things I just don't want to remember.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29You could have told me.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31You didn't need to hide it from me.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37It's more of a reflection on me than you, honest.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41But I didn't want you to think that I was damaged in some way.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43What?
0:17:43 > 0:17:44That's how it makes you feel.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Didn't want to put you through it.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51And why now, why are you telling me now?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Mum saw him two days ago at the school where she works.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59He's a supply teacher.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Well, you can't just leave it.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07Not if he's still teaching.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12I don't want it all stirred up again.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- Are you sure it was him? - Well, Mum is.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Well, I think you need to find out for yourself, don't you?
0:18:20 > 0:18:21- No.- I'll come with you.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Don't think I could face it.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27I know, I know. But if he's still working with kids...
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Do you think I haven't thought of that?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I keep turning it round and round in my head.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33I can't stop thinking about it.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35I know, come here. Come here.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Lyn, come on!
0:18:50 > 0:18:51We're going to be late.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- What do you think you're doing? - Nothing.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00That's not nothing. Who are you texting?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03It was for Laura. Just showing her what I'm wearing to her birthday.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04- Give me that thing.- No.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06- Give me it.- No, it's my phone.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- Who are you sending the pictures to? - Give it back!
0:19:08 > 0:19:09- Who?- Laura, I'm telling the truth.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Right, you're not going.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12- But Dad said...- I SAID NO!
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Two more periods...
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- Do you remember me?- Sorry?
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Do you remember me?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12My name is Rachel Mason.
0:20:12 > 0:20:1433 years ago I was Rachel Moxton.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16Well, I've taught a lot of kids.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19I'd have thought I'd have been stamped on your brain
0:20:19 > 0:20:21like you've been stamped on mine.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I was 12 years old. You taught me history.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24And regularly abused me.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26I did no such thing.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28You'd done it before. I just know you'd done it before.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30But please tell me you never did it again. That I was the last.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32I don't know what you're talking about.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35You're still teaching, which means you were never caught.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36You never did it again,
0:20:36 > 0:20:39which means my silence did no harm, no-one else suffered.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Tell me that's the case and I will walk away
0:20:41 > 0:20:43and you will never see me again.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45I've never seen you before in my life.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47You have a scar on your thigh.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50You were impaled on railings when you were eight years old.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52You showed it me that first time.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Afterwards you sent me packing down the corridor.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Not a soul in sight.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58You called my name and beckoned me.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00So I walked all the way back,
0:21:00 > 0:21:01thinking it was going to happen again.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05And when I got to you, you pointed to my tennis racket and you said,
0:21:05 > 0:21:06"You forgot that."
0:21:06 > 0:21:09And you laughed. You actually laughed.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11I'm sorry for whatever's happened to you,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13but I can promise you, it's got nothing to do with me.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14I have never seen you in my entire life.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16You're lying! You're lying!
0:21:16 > 0:21:18You broke me!
0:21:18 > 0:21:20You broke my mind, my body!
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Can you just let go of the door, please?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25You filled me full of shame and self-loathing. And it's you.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27It's you who should feel ashamed.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- Just let go.- In 33 years, not one day has passed
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- without my remembering it. - I've never seen you before.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- Take your hand off the car.- Without thinking about what you did to me.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Can you just let go of the door? - I will not take my hand away!
0:21:37 > 0:21:40You're in here, whether I like it or not!
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- SHE SOBS - You ruined my life.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- I've never seen you before.- How many other lives have you ruined?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Look, I've never seen you before.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51HE STARTS CAR
0:21:51 > 0:21:52You're lying.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56You're lying!
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Don't lie to me, don't you dare lie to me.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04You're lying!
0:22:04 > 0:22:06You're lying!
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Rachel. Rachel.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- Get off me!- Rachel. I just want to know if you're OK, love.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- I'm just trying to help. - I said leave me alone!
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- You should've seen what happened today.- What?
0:22:46 > 0:22:47Laura asked James out.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49And is like crying because he said no.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- Really?- Yeah.- Laura's a lovely girl.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- Why did he say no? - He just doesn't like her.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Where have you been?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Got held up. Sorry.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08- You OK?- Yeah.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Fine.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14DOORBELL
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Hi.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30I hope I'm not disturbing you.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- No, why?- It's just...
0:23:33 > 0:23:36I live across the road and I saw you at my son's school just now.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38And I wondered, are you all right?
0:23:40 > 0:23:41- You know, after all that.- I'm fine.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- Are you sure about that? - Yes, I'm sure.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46So what was all the fuss about then?
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Nothing, it was nothing. It was just a misunderstanding, that's all.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52You were attacking a member of staff.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Is there something the parents need to know?
0:23:54 > 0:23:55- No.- I'm worried for my son.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57If there's something that parents should know,
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- I think you should just tell us what's going on. - There's nothing to tell you.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- What was that about? - I'll tell you later.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10No, tell me now, please.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12What's all this about you going to my friend's school?
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- What?- Everyone's saying they saw you kicking off about something.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16Oh, put that stupid thing away.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Mum, what's going on?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Why do you have to go and make a scene in front of everyone?
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Is this what I think it is?- I said, I'll talk to you about it later.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- You're so embarrassing. - Lyn.- What's got into you?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- You're acting like a mad woman. - What am I supposed to do?!
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Come on. Come on, you two.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Upstairs.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Why won't you tell us what's going on?
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Nothing's going on.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50- I'm not stupid, Mum.- Lyn.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51Just leave it.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59DOOR OPENS
0:25:16 > 0:25:17It is him, then?
0:25:23 > 0:25:24He said I'd got it all wrong.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Denied everything.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Lost it.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Wanted to kill him.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44I feel sick.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45I'm going to go and see him.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50- No.- Well, you can't just expect me to sit here and do nothing.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54I can't stand seeing you like this, Rachel.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- Just let me go.- No, don't!
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Promise me you'll keep out of it.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Promise me you won't go anywhere near that man.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17I promise.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22- What about the police?- No.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- Why not?- You know why not.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28I don't. You said something about not putting us through all this.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31That's exactly what's happening, anyway.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33The police can't make it any worse.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- They can only help.- They won't believe me, I know that.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Well, of course they will. Why would a child make up something like that?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41I'm not a child. I'm a 45-year-old woman.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Why wait 33 years, that's what they'll say.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47You need proof.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48I've got nothing on him, nothing!
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Can't you see? I don't stand a chance.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25See you later!
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Bye!
0:27:29 > 0:27:31BELL RINGS
0:27:37 > 0:27:39- Lyn!- Yeah?
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Do you still want to go to Laura's sleepover?
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- Yeah.- Right.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Can I go?!
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Yeah.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51Will you keep your phone on?
0:27:53 > 0:27:54- Course, yeah.- Right.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58Thanks.
0:27:59 > 0:28:00It's OK.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04See ya.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13You're Lyn's mum?
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- Yeah?- Why did you accost my dad yesterday?
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Why did you accost my dad yesterday?
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Why don't you ask him?
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Because to ask him is to doubt him.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27And I do not doubt him in any way whatsoever.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29He brought me, my two sisters and my brother up.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32And you could not wish for a better father.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33Kind and decent.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Now, I don't know exactly what was said yesterday,
0:28:36 > 0:28:40but I've heard the gist of it. And I'm here to warn you,
0:28:40 > 0:28:42if you ever repeat those allegations you will suffer for it.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45He's a teacher, for God's sake.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Lies like that could destroy him.
0:28:49 > 0:28:50You...
0:28:50 > 0:28:52You stay away from my father.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55You ever do that again and your feet won't touch the ground.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59You've turned our lives upside down!
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Rachel!
0:29:33 > 0:29:35I'm sorry, am I bothering you?
0:29:35 > 0:29:39No, I was just... No, of course. Not at all.
0:29:39 > 0:29:40Come in.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Come in.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51Oh, I think he likes you.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54- How old is he?- Six months.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56How old are yours now?
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Seven and 12.
0:30:00 > 0:30:01Has it really been that long?
0:30:08 > 0:30:10So, were you just passing or...?
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Actually, I came to ask you something.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19You remember what happened at school?
0:30:21 > 0:30:22That teacher we had.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- I saw him again.- When?
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Yesterday, he's on supply at the school where my mum works.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Why are you telling me this?
0:30:48 > 0:30:51You remember when I used to change in the toilets for PE?
0:30:53 > 0:30:55You asked me why once.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01I showed you the bruises I had.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05I want to make a statement.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11I was wondering if you would help back me up.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14I've got no proof otherwise.
0:31:21 > 0:31:22It were years ago.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30- Let it rest.- I won't take up much of your time, I promise.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32I'm sorry. I can't help you.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36We were inseparable at school, you and me.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37Well, things change.
0:31:39 > 0:31:44I just want someone to tell me I didn't imagine it.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46I didn't make it up.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57You didn't.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02That's the awful truth about it.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05He made you feel special.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Till you realised you're just like all the others.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12You're just one of many.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16You're nothing special at all.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24There's no way I'm going back to that hell again.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Not for anything in the world.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36BABY GURGLES
0:32:59 > 0:33:00I'm going to the police.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04I don't care what people think.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Well, I wondered if you'd come with me.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10Of course.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Course I will.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33I'd like to make a statement, please.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48We'll get through this.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06If you can tell me what happened,
0:34:06 > 0:34:08as clearly as you can remember it, please.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Trouble is, it...
0:34:15 > 0:34:16It was quite some time ago.
0:34:18 > 0:34:19When did the incident take place?
0:34:22 > 0:34:23It was summer.
0:34:25 > 0:34:261985.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Sorry, this was a mistake.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Go on, go on.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Tell me what you remember.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Would you mind stepping outside, please, Mum?
0:34:56 > 0:34:57Oh...right.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02I'll...I'll be waiting for you.
0:35:16 > 0:35:17Um...
0:35:27 > 0:35:29It was the first day back at school.
0:35:32 > 0:35:33After the summer holidays.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42I was wearing my new school uniform.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Feeling proud.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Could tell Mum was, too.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Um...
0:36:12 > 0:36:14I remember the pain.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20The unbelievable...
0:36:34 > 0:36:35It was a shock.
0:36:37 > 0:36:38At every level.
0:36:41 > 0:36:42It was as though...
0:36:44 > 0:36:45..I had left my body.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50I flew out of the room.
0:36:53 > 0:36:54Out of the building.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Somewhere far away.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05The only way I could survive was to...
0:37:09 > 0:37:11..to learn not to feel.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20It went on for nearly a year.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26My mum found out soon after it stopped.
0:37:32 > 0:37:33It never leaves you.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37The memory of it.
0:37:41 > 0:37:42A constant reminder.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50The images that fly across your mind that you try to force to disappear.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58I look at my daughter and...
0:38:01 > 0:38:04..I'm reminded of myself at her age.
0:38:04 > 0:38:05And...
0:38:14 > 0:38:16..my mum's face when I told her.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22I'd never seen her look like that before.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27It was just sadness.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Utterly powerless.
0:38:32 > 0:38:33Panicked.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40She asked me what I wanted to do.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50I just wanted her face to stop looking like that, so I said...
0:38:53 > 0:38:54.."Don't do anything."
0:39:01 > 0:39:03I've learned to live with it, but...
0:39:09 > 0:39:12..I'll never forgive him for what he did to my mother.
0:39:26 > 0:39:27Thank you.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52It's done.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28I did it.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45I'm proud of you.
0:41:01 > 0:41:07He found his teeth, bottom of a recycling bin, non-recyclables.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10I know what he did now.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12I'd done spare ribs that night,
0:41:12 > 0:41:15so he'd taken his teeth out so he could have a good suck on them.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17- SHE SCOFFS - Drunken idiot.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52The police came to the school today.
0:41:54 > 0:41:55I know. I heard.
0:41:59 > 0:42:00I'm sorry.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05I'm so sorry.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09I know.
