The Gathering (2024) s01e06 Episode Script

1
Oh, I really, really don't
feel well.
What's happened?
What's wrong with her?
There was a significant amount
of ketamine in your blood.
Your golden girl drugged
my daughter.
How is it that a gymnast
with no respect for you
or her team-mates
gets welcomed back onto
the team without so much as
a wag of the finger?
I'd say a girl who buried her mum in
the morning then showed up
for training that same day has
plenty enough respect
for her team-mates, wouldn't you?
Listen, Ad, any chance you can
get hold of
a bit of the other gear?
You want lemo?
Don't say you got it from me.
Louis Rhys Hughes?
You're being arrested on suspicion
of supplying drugs to a minor.
Get out. Dawn
I want you to leave, Louis.
I bought this watch when I opened
my first law practice.
No, Dad. I can't. Yes, you can.
Can't have my fine boy letting
the side down?
Mr Bullan claims you were wearing
a striped orange T-shirt
on the day of the alleged incident.
Surely one of your mates must have
filmed what happened?
I asked everyone last year,
there was nothing.
Lab results must be back.
What do you mean, 'inconsistent?
Listen, any of yous seen Bazi?
Josh, give us a mo, will you, mate?
What's happened? He's ghosted us.
You're light. You think this is like
booking a holiday, lad?
You want to get your act together if
you want to see that sister
of yours again. I can get you
the money. How much do you need?
Why would you do this for me?
This isn't a transaction, Bazi.
There's no strings.
Who is this? Get your da to drop
that case against mine,
or everyone's going to know you've
been paying for sex with
the people he's supposed
to be helping.
She knows.
She saw. Look, if my dad finds
out
Hey. Hey, slow it down, man.
Who saw?
Look, I'm sorry, Bazi. I
am so sorry, but
..I can't go ahead
with what I promised.
Come on, Jules,
by your own admission,
the guy was just in and out.
The contact just wasn't prolonged
enough to leave any DNA.
You saw the photographs -
bastard good as pulped my face.
My blood must've been
all over his clothes.
Not according to the lab it wasn't.
I'm sorry, Jules.
What if they took the wrong exhibit?
The police search was extensive
and thorough.
We're not going to action
another one, Jules,
it's not in the CPS' interest.
What? What?
There is something else,
isn't there?
I've heard the girl's witness
statement's in.
His girl?
Were you aware the incident was
being filmed?
No, I was not.
She said that in her
witness statement?
Well, I don't get it.
Why would she offer up evidence
that's going to incriminate
her father?
She doesn't know
..does she?
He's told her it wasn't his fault,
hasn't he?
He's said it was me that
attacked him.
Well, surely, we can summons
whoever it is
to produce this video
in evidence now, can't we?
Unless they've got rid of it.
Why would they do that?
Nah
Who is it, anyway,
this mystery cameraman?
She said it was your son.
Charlie?
Come on
Fuck!
You told me
you could get the money.
I've already called
her handlers, man -
what if they're on their way?
You know what they'll do to her if
I'm not there with the money.
You can still get it.
If she tells my dad about us
She won't. She fucking knows what
you do.
What I do?!
What about what YOU do?
Look, Kelly's here, man.
Help me find her.
Hi, it's Jess.
Leave a message
and I'll get back to you.
Jess, where are you?
I thought we could order in tonight,
try that the new Kashmiri
I was telling you about?
Watch a movie?
Love you.
Call me.
And just how important
is this event?
Oh, it's huge.
It's like the pinnacle
of our Gymnastics' calendar.
Tumbling Gymnastics is still
not considered
an Olympic sport, so World
Championships are a very big deal.
And you're here today to raise
awareness about Gym Relief,
is that right?
The club fees, kit,
travelling costs -
it's just not sustainable
for many low income families.
Especially when you get
to elite level,
you're training five
or six days a week.
So, I've been lobbying
the Government
to try and make this sport more
accessible through
And how's that going?
It's a slog,
but we're getting there.
Thank you, Debbie.
And is there anyone we should be
watching out
for at these World Championships?
I don't like to single people out.
But if pressed?
Kelly Deacon, one of our own.
She's definitely one to watch.
Debbie Farron, thank you.
Thank you. And now back to
Has there been any discolouration?
Any pain at all?
Charlie? And where did you get it
done again?
Where is he? Where is he? Charlie?!
You don't have to apologise, hon.
These voucher offers can be too good
to turn down, can't they?
Why don't you meet me at
the salon in half an hour,
let me take a look?
No, no, Nicki,
you're not going to lose your lip.
I'll see you in a bit.
What are you doing?
What's his password?
I don't know.
Jules, what's going on?
Look, he filmed the whole fucking
thing on his phone,
didn't he, that's what's going on.
Filmed what?
That bastard in the park -
the attack.
Charlie filmed it and he's fucking
sat on it this whole fucking time.
Will you keep your voice down?
Did you know about this?
Just keep your voice down.
Where've you got all this from?
Where is he? I need to find him.
At the beach.
Well, he's not going to be there,
is he?
That's not Tash's thing.
Well, maybe he didn't go with Tash.
London not work out then?
How can you do those things?
It don't mean anything.
Well, it means something to me,
Bazi.
That lad's ripped my family
to bits.
He's nothing like his dad, Kel.
Are you in love with him? No.
It's just work, all of them.
You said I made you feel good about
yourself.
That's what you said.
And then
..then you just cut me off.
You ghosted me.
This is my sister, Nour.
We tried to get out together,
but we got separated.
She's stuck in a camp.
I found some people who can bring
her over but
..for a price.
They started asking about you.
Maybe to make sure I did as
I'm told, I don't know.
But I was scared.
For you.
Why have you never told me this?
All I've talked about the last two
years is the same story
of how I came to be here,
how my parents died
..what they did to my cousins
for speaking out,
what they did to their mother
..how they made the children line
up and watch.
And everyoneeveryone
gives me that look.
And no-one has ever once
looked at me the same,
cos all they see now isis my
trauma.
That's why I didn't tell you.
Because I liked
how you looked at me.
And, yes, Kelly
..you made me feel nice.
Charlie is helping me, Kelly.
He's going to help me bring
my sister back.
Please Please don't
..don't mess this up for us.
Please.
I just need her here. Safe.
And I need my dad, Bazi.
So does my brother.
So you get your hero
to make his dad drop
the case against mine.
Good.
Excuse me.
We need to have a conversation,
you and I.
What's going on?
This is a timeline of messages from
the parents' WhatsApp Group,
alleging everything from pressure
cooker tactics
to psychological bullying,
body-shaming,
and fundamental
duty of care negligence.
Ridiculous. Really?
Your track record doesn't exactly
hold up to scrutiny, does it?
Highest number of injured gymnasts
in any club -
2021, '22 and '23.
Highest number of gymnasts leaving
the club with skills confusion.
And didn't a gymnast file
a complaint against you
at your former club,
for coercing her into
a move that she didn't feel she was
ready for?
She snapped her femur, didn't she?
Not exactly what you're trumpeting
on your application form, is it?
You must know that
every single second
of what happens down here is being
recorded over there?
And you must know as well as anyone
what a seething snake pit it is.
Yeah, I do.
The only reason those pushy little
shits don't hang you out to dry is
because they're still hanging out
for their meal ticket,
their I'm A Celebrity moment.
But I could destroy you like that.
Jessica will return
to training tomorrow.
And she will take
Kelly Deacon's place
at the Championships next month.
Enjoy the rest of your evening.
I can't sleep.
What was the name of
that place we used to go to?
Remember, when Charlie was doing his
academy training?
The one with all the tunnels
and the ropes.
The Crocky Trail?
The Crocky Trail.
We should go again.
Go and jump in with Mum.
It won't be as noisy round
the front.
It's Mum's middle name,
then the year he was born.
What is?
Why didn't you just come
and see me?
Please don't make a scene.
How long have we known each other?
I asked him not to.
Yeah, I might've known
he was behind all of this.
He was positively gloating,
wasn't he,
when he was plying his daughter
with wine?
There's a bit of a difference
between
a glass of Rioja
and an illegal substance, Dawn.
An illegal substance?
You were the biggest speed-head
going at university.
At least Ella had the guts
to come round and see me.
Where is she? Is she here?
No, she isn't.
She said she'd been completely
upfront with you both,
she admitted that she'd basically
brow-beaten them into giving her
a line. She's a child.
I can't believe you're defending
him. He's a good father, Vanessa.
Is that why you've kicked him out?
He's so busy mourning
his own adolescence,
he has no idea what his own
teenagers are up to.
That stuff your son is sending
to Ella - it's not OK.
Oh, spare me the moral high ground,
will you?
Your child was all over Adam,
it was embarrassing to watch.
You really have no clue, do you?
Adam's lovely.
I was talking about Joshua.
Joshie, wh?
Chuck it! Chuck it! I'll throw
it at you. Fuck off.
Fuck off. Agh! Dick!
All right, Jess?
Come and sit with us.
Aww, don't be shy, we've all
seen you
..in your pretty pink panties.
What are you talking about,
you little shit?
"Oh, Adam. Play with yourself.
"Show me your big dick.
Come on my face."
Steady on, lad.
What?
Slut.
Josh?
Joshua?
Louis, cancan you come over,
please?
We need to talk.
No, notnot about us, Lou.
About Joshua.
I trusted you!
How could you do that?!
Who else have you shown?!
What are you on about? Shown what?
Our pictures!
How could you do that to me?!
I'd never show no-one.
Don't fucking deny it!
Yo. Cool it, will ya?
I'd never do that.
Where are you getting all
this shite from?
He told me. He's seen it.
They've all fucking seen it, Adam!
Who? Your brother and his mates!
Me brother?
When did you see my brother?
Talk to me when you're not trashed.
I'm hot. Really hot.
Need to get out.
Kelly? You OK?
I don't like it, Josh.
I need to get out.
What have you taken?
I'm thirsty.
I need to go home.
Right, I've got you.
Ten out of ten. What about her?
Nah. You'd have to fucking pay me
to roofie her.
Thirsty.
I'll go and find you some water,
OK?
I'll be right back. Stay there.
What are you doing? You
What are you doing?
Sh.
Get off me.
It was you, wasn't it,
you little freak? You spiked me.
Shut up. No, I'm speaking to you.
You fucking tell me
what you did to me.
DID to you?
You think I'd put my dick in there?
Adam deserves better than you.
Oh, you're jealous, aren't you?
Poor little Joshie.
You wouldn't know what to do anyway,
you're pathetic.
You're still a virgin, aren't you?
Best save that small dick energy
for when Adam finds out.
He's going to kill you.
Josh? Kelly!
Ugh, bitch!
What have you done, Josh?
Why did you do that?
Kel, you don't know what
she's been doing.
Don't be like that.
I'd never hurt you, Kelly.
Help her!
Help her!
Stop, it Kelly!
Help! Keep it fucking down!
Kelly, where are you going?!
Kelly, stop! Kelly!
Stop!
Shut up! I told you to keep quiet!
Kelly, stop!
Police are
responding to an incident at
a beach party on Hilbre Island
in the Dee Estuary,
after a teenager was found
unresponsive downriver from
the island.
Coastguards were initially called to
the remote beauty spot,
which are notorious
for their treacherous tides.
Around 05:30 this morning,
a girl
was found half a mile down
the coast from the site of
an illegal gathering.
West Mersey Police have set up
a crime scene in the area
and are carrying out
formal investigations.
The police are also asking
young people
to consider their safety before
attending illegal events
such as this.
The teenager, who remains in
a critical condition in
Arrowe Park Hospital,
has been named locally as
Kelly Deacon.
The police are asking
anyone who may have seen
the girl at the illegal rave
to come forward.
Thanks, Caroline.
Now let's have a look what the
Who are you?
What are you doing back?
Where's Dad?
I'm right here, Charlie.
Give us a minute, sweetheart,
would you?
We've met, haven't we, Bazi?
At football.
You should go.
Bazi?
So, you and Bazi
..you're friends?
Well, sort of,
you know, we just chatted to
each other at the footie that time,
and then, there he was at the party,
you know?
Do you want a smoothie?
You could have come to me.
No No, I couldn't.
It's not who you are, Charlie.
It's this fucking world,
it's all the shit you're being fed.
I like boys, Dad,
I've always liked boys.
You've betrayed me.
No, I didn't, Dad.
Why, Charlie?
Why did you never once mention
this footage?
Don't look away.
I want you to see it,
look at it, watch it,
right to the end.
Why have you sat on this
all this time?
Cos you deserved it.
No!
No!
Stop it, please! Get off. Get off!
He'll be punished, trust me.
I won't let it lie.
But right now
..you need to sit tight
..you need stay off social media
and pray to God that your friend
makes it through.
I
I have to stop him, Mum.
He He has stuff on me.
Stuff?
Jessica, what kind of stuff?
Pictures. Videos.
He stole them from Adam's phone.
How bad?
Come on, Jess. I need to know.
Are we? Are we talking pictures
in your underwear? Nudity? Worse?
Videos. What do you mean, videos?
For God's sake, Mum. We sent each
other videos, what did you think?
Why would you do that?
The same reason you go
and meet strangers in hotel rooms.
Cos I wanted to.
Ad?
How is she?
You not get me messages?
Battery died hours ago. Is she out?
She is. She's going to be all right.
Mate, go and get us some chocolate
out of that machine, will you?
She was attacked.
Attacked? By who?
She doesn't remember.
Police are coming back to talk
to her again. Did you see anything?
There were some bad scals there,
like. I don't know, Paul.
She's asking for you.
Best get him home.
Come on then, mate.
I'm sorry, Paul.
I should've been lookin' out
for her.
Can't handle your pills, you,
can you? Lightweight.
Don't.
They took me spleen out.
I know, mate.
I'm not going to be able to
compete now.
Forget all that. It'll come again.
Ad?
Look, er
..I wanted to tell you first
..before I give me statement.
It was Josh.
Josh?
Did he try something?
No
Not with me.
But I think hehe tried to
with Jess.
He spiked her, at your dad's party.
Are you sure, Kel?
It's them lads he knocks about with,
them fucked up little no-marks.
I'm going to kill him,
I'm telling you.
Adam, mate, he doesn't need
a hiding.
He needs help.
Look, I'm going to have
to tell them everything, Ad,
the busies.
You know I've got to do that,
don't you?
I'm sorry, Kel.
What did you do to Kelly?
I didn't. I was looking after her.
Looking after her?
She's in the hospital.
They've took her fucking spleen out!
And what about Jess?
Why do you even care about her?
She's a fucking whore.
Lad, what has gone on with you?
With ME? What about with you?
How can you go out
with someone who does those things>
And I have to listen to them,
in your room.
They Do whatever you want.
They just hand it over
to you like it's nothing.
You don't even have to ask
for it, do you?
And all I wanted waswas
a nice girl.
Someone who didn't speak to me like
I'm a piece of fucking shit.
Mate, your ma's in there
fucking devoed.
It's her own fault.
She has not let me go
to one fucking party.
I'm nearly 15 years old
and I am stuck
in my fucking bedroom
week after week, watching it all
happen from my phone.
I hate her. I FUCKING HATE her!
Josh
..you need to get dressed.
You need to come with
the police station.
Adam, out of here.
I'm dealing with this.
Dealing with it? In what way are you
dealing with it, Dad?
Tell me. Do you have any idea what's
going on here?
Do you know what they'll do
to him,
if he gets sent down?
You need to get him to hand himself
in before they come for him.
He's not going anywhere, Adam.
Are you two for real?
If you say anything, Adam,
anything at all
What? That's you and Kyran out.
Yeah, I'mI'm calling about
a patient on your ward?
Kelly Deacon.
Can you tell me how she's doing?
Thank you.
I'm just a friend.
No. No.
No message. Just
Thank you.
OK. Bye. Bye.
It's open.
Where the fuck have you been, lad?
You look like proper shit.

It says three weeks here, Dad.
The doctor said six weeks.
Well, he knows best, eh?
You've got to get all your vaccines,
give 'em time to work.
Eh, Tate, what's all this, mate?
Some girl asking you
to "get speaking."
Get off that, you"
"I want to get close."
Eh, watch her stitches, you.
It was better when you was
in hozzie.
Eh, did you heard that, Dad?
Got to keep an eye out
for little Romeo over there.
