Ackley Bridge (2017) s05e08 Episode Script
Season 5, Episode 8
1
Here she is.
Forget Jonny Wilkinson,
we've got Marina Dobson.
Rugby legend!
- My talents are endless.
- Pity she can't play for the lads team.
St Mark's are going to walk all over
Ackley boys in your match tomorrow.
She's my mate you know.
Taught her everything.
Haven't heard from you all
weekend. We need a major debrief.
Me and Jasper think we
should go on a double date
somewhere dead expensive.
Oh, I see. She's all about lover boy!
Obsessed much? Catch you up, yeah.
Can't wait to see my Jasper
at the match tomorrow.
Him and his mates are
much more sophisticated
than the boys at this school.
You don't actually think
he's interested in you?
He says I'm his soulmate.
Are you thick? You're his bit of rough.
He's only being nice to you
so he can get what he wants.
And you're putting it on
a plate for him. Pathetic.
Marina.
This isn't Love Island, love.
Looking good, sir.
I wasn't born in a suit you know.
Hi, Marina
Marina?
Marina?
What's that all about?
Leave me alone.
Talk to me, will you?
Has something happened?
None of your business.
You don't have to play
the 'stepdad' no more.
Maybe not, but I still care
about you. Have you been crying?
Look, if you're worried
about your school work,
you can retake the year.
- You're smart enough.
- Smart? Me?
Yeah, right. You don't
actually believe that.
Can you just sit down for
two minutes, so we can talk?
I know what you think of me.
Same as what everyone
round here thinks of me.
I'm Kayla's dumb slag of a sister.
Nowt but a council house chav.
Good for one thing and that's about it.
That's not true. Don't say
things like that about yourself.
Yeah, it is true. Even my
own mum called me a bitch.
Didn't she tell you?
So I guess it's about time
I got what I deserved, eh?
What happened, Marina?
Hey. Don't touch me.
All right.
If something's happened,
you can tell me.
I can't.
Look
forget about me and your mum.
I'm here for you.
Talk to me.
It was at a party.
And a lad
He made me.
All right.
It's OK.
Take as long as you need, pet.
Thanks.
Marina, we've called the police
and an Independent Sexual Violence
Adviser is on her way, all right?
We came as quick as
we could, where is she?
Oh, my God.
Hold on a minute. Let me get this
straight. So you're telling me
All we know is that a
sexual act took place
and she didn't want it to, full stop.
She needs calm, all right?
I'll leave you to it.
Are you all right?
Hello. I'm here for
Marina.
I'm Trisha and I'm here to help.
Would you like your family
to stay while we chat?
No.
I thought he were dead nice.
Good looking, but not full of himself.
Not like lads round here.
I just wanted him to like me.
It was just flirting and saying stuff.
It didn't mean that I wanted to.
Take your time. No rush.
The voice in my head
it were telling
me to make him stop
to get away from him, to
tell him you don't want this.
But I couldn't.
I just froze.
That's more common than you think.
And it doesn't change what happened.
He bought me flowers.
Maybe he didn't realise? Maybe
he thought that I wanted it?
Marina
I didn't say no, did I?
It's not just about saying no.
If you didn't want it to happen
and it did, then you didn't consent.
No-one's entitled to make you feel
like you should go along with things.
I can't.
Stop.
You're OK, Marina.
You're safe now.
You OK? Why didn't you tell us?
So Josh dumps you and you have to
go ruin everything for me and all?
- He never dumped me.
- That's not what he's saying.
Them flowers were his
way of saying ta-ra.
Hayley.
- I'm telling the truth.
- Like you did with your 'modelling contract'?
Lads at party told us
she's been posting nudes
for money on some dirty app.
That's enough, Hayley.
You were all over him. We all saw you.
Give us girls a bad name.
- I'm not
- A lying slag?
- She didn't mean it.
- Marina, wait.
Done you a brew.
Done good.
Stick a film on
tonight, if you fancy it?
Egg and chips in front of
the telly. Can't beat it.
Ah, hello. Marina, is it?
Who's this?
I gather there's been some
kind of misunderstanding
between you and my son?
Misunderstanding?
We both know what kids are like.
A couple of drinks, mixed messages.
Josh has got a bright
future ahead of him.
You don't want your name dragged
through the mud either, do you?
Because it will be.
Just admit you made a mistake,
tell everyone it didn't
happen the way you say it did.
My son is innocent.
I'm sure we can come to
some kind of arrangement.
If she takes back what
she said, it's all yours.
It's five K.
You think you can buy us off?
I'm just doing what's best for my kid.
If I was you, I'd clear
off away from my house
before I do something to
you that no amount of money
will bring you back from.
Inside. Come on.
All right?
Can I come in?
Why didn't you take the money?
I had nothing growing up.
Always skint. No way out of this place.
That ain't going to be your story.
That money's not how
you're going to do it.
You know I love you, don't you?
Get our tea on.
Is she home?
Upstairs.
Can you lot not take the hint? 50
missed calls from Chloe and all.
Never seen your room before.
Imagined walk-in wardrobes
and oil paintings of you.
I'm so sorry for what happened to you.
Maybe it were my fault.
I sold nudes, made money.
Just wanted to buy nice things.
£260 and 14p.
Turns out that's all I'm worth.
Can't even buy a decent
handbag with that?
- They've got nothing to do with what he did.
- He's seen them.
That's why he thought I were easy.
It's your body to do what you want with.
All right? It doesn't mean men can.
And don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Nothing you do validates assault.
Don't make a difference now anyway.
- They all think I'm a lying slag.
- But you're not lying.
Might be easier if I am.
You can't mean that.
Here.
That's an exfoliating wipe.
Weirdo.
Oh.
She can do one. Always
blowin' up her ego.
- You listening to me, babe?
- Yes. Sorry, babe.
Marina gives folk round here a bad name.
- We don't though, do we babe?
- No thank you.
Don't tell me you don't eat chips
'cos that's make or break for me.
You know Josh isn't always
as charming as he makes out.
What? You don't reckon
there's owt to it, do you?
I mean he's your mate.
- Well, he can be a bit
- What? Jasper, spill. What do you know?
I don't know. At the party,
he said something about her.
- It was awful.
- What did he say?
- I swear to God, if you don't tell us
- I can show you.
- Trust me, it's is a classic.
Right, we're just going
to put this on, chill out,
and just forget about
the rest of the world.
I always wondered what
the hell Kayla saw in you.
Still don't get it!
Oh, yeah, just show yourself in.
Make yourself at home, why don't you?
Marina, I'm sorry. Should have listened.
- What are you doing here?
- You've got to see this.
What you on about?
Right, I'm going to get a drink.
- Oh, here he is.
- Wehey, my guy! How you doing?
Did you and Marina get off then?
Well, you know what
girls like her are like,
they act like they don't want it,
but your boy Josh always gets his way.
Marina, I'm so sorry.
I should have believed you.
Get rid of it.
No, we need to give it to
the police. It's evidence.
No. That's never getting out.
I don't want everyone knowing that
I'm the girl he's talking about.
- They tried to pay you off.
- I don't care. I just want to forget.
I don't think I can do this.
- Yes, you can.
- We're going to do it together.
If anyone says anything,
I'll set Hayley on them.
And I'm worse than next
door's dog when I want to be.
Let's go, girls. And head up.
Marina, Jasper says that Josh
might be at the rugby match today.
We won't let him anywhere near you.
Can you go and phone the
police, please, Mr Hyatt?
Game faces on, boys.
I told you you shouldn't have come.
Why not?
Excuse me.
The police have advised him
to stay away from this school.
It's the only reason why I
gave the go ahead to the match.
So you can just turn around
and get back on the bus.
My son's done nothing wrong,
so if you don't mind,
he's got a game to play.
You think you can do what you like,
with your silver spoons
shoved up your backsides.
- Mrs Carp
- No, this needs to be said.
They're a waste of skin.
Go on. Go.
What you doing?
Jasper?
Come on boys, really?
Calm down. Just calm down.
You know what you did.
And now everybody else does.
"Well, you know what
girls like her are like,
they act like they don't want it,
but your boy Josh always gets his way."
No, I
Dad
I'm so sorry. Are you OK?
It's OK, babe. I'm here.
Sweetheart, it's OK. It's OK.
All right, Ackley, back to class.
I'm here, darling. Oh, God.
Well, this takes me back.
You, me, Kayla in our jamas
drinking hot chocolate.
Watching Strictly.
You doing your hair, Kayla
dancing around in front of telly.
How is she?
Well, she misses you. We both do.
I was thinking about sticking
around for a couple of weeks.
I want to be here for you, darling.
I know we haven't
always seen eye to eye.
I've said some things
in the past that
I'm so, so, sorry.
If anything I said ever made
you feel bad about yourself
or made you feel like
you had to go along with
that lad.
It don't matter.
It does.
It does.
Because you
You are worth ten of him.
10,000.
He's scum.
- Mum
- I know I've let you down.
I want to make things better between us.
Please?
I love the bones of you.
I don't ever want you to feel alone
because I am always here for you.
Everything is going to be all right.
I promise. Cross my heart.
Everything all right?
Mum's staying.
Oh, right.
Great. Mi casa, su casa.
You two under the same roof?
It'll never work.
Here she is.
Forget Jonny Wilkinson,
we've got Marina Dobson.
