1
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,640
Martha was barred for an incident
shortly after the attack on Teri.
2
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:18,920
There you are!
3
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,440
You cowardly, two-timing fuck.
4
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,640
The nerve you showed me the other night,
rubbing that skank in my face.
5
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,240
All right, that's enough, Martha.
6
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,200
You've made an enemy of me, reindeer.
7
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,840
- Make no mistake about it.
Martha!
8
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,440
- I hope you know what you've done...
Enough!
9
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,160
- ...in wounding me like this.
Martha!
10
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:37,320
Your mouth's
gonna get you in trouble, boy.
11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,960
For a moment,
I thought that might be the end of it,
12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,880
but she just multiplied
across all other areas of my life.
13
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,880
Hey, you should see
the woman he's dating. Pig ugly.
14
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,560
If he stooped any lower,
he'd be a hunchback.
15
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,400
Yes! Uh, hello, ladies and gentlemen, s--
16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,000
He's a hunchback! Quasimodo!
17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,800
Head in a gutter of skanks!
18
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,120
Yeah, there he is, Mr. Two-timing Slut.
19
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,480
Don't trust him, guys.
20
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,920
He'll promise you sex,
then sprint the other way.
21
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,160
It was killing me, all of it.
22
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,840
{\an8}A free pass to the comedy final
on account of Martha ruining the gig
23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,120
{\an8}offered little comfort
in the face of everything.
24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,480
I thought about quitting the bar
or moving house
25
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,320
or pausing the comedy for a while,
26
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:17,120
but I didn't wanna
give her the satisfaction
27
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,760
of taking any more than she had.
28
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,280
So all that was left to do
was lie and wait,
29
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,600
questioning what else
she might be capable of.
30
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,080
Mum! Someone just threw something
in my face.
31
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,440
You'll be all right.
Just wash it out.
32
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:47,920
What's going on?
33
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,320
Someone just attacked me!
- What?
34
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,960
I thought it was acid.
I thought I was gonna go blind.
35
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,400
Jesus. I mean, what was it?
36
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,680
I don't know. It was, like, a fizzy drink.
It was Coke, I think.
37
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,800
Coke? As in, like... As in, like... like
38
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:02,360
Diet Coke?
39
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,760
I wasn't paying attention
to the sugar content, Donny.
40
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,280
- Jesus Christ!
- Yeah, no, of course.
41
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,280
It was that woman
from the cooking group.
42
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,920
I saw her running down the street
when I came to the window.
43
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,480
Oh yeah. No, I... I...
I think I remember her. Yeah.
44
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,520
She said, "That's for fucking Donny,"
before she threw it in my face.
45
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,400
What is going on here?
46
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,640
She's this woman.
47
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:28,560
She's been
48
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:30,720
stalking me.
49
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:32,920
She's been stalking you?
50
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,160
Wait, is this that Martha woman
who's been harassing me on Facebook?
51
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:39,040
Oh my God.
52
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,240
She's been in my home.
53
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,680
You are a fucking idiot. You know that?
54
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,280
How long's this been going on for?
- I don't know. Like, six months.
55
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,400
- Six months?!
- Have you been to the police?
56
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,560
Yeah, I have, but they, you know,
wouldn't take it seriously.
57
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,920
They might if you tell them
what just happened to me.
58
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:00,480
What, that someone
threw a Coke in your face?
59
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,120
You know what?
I can't believe you.
60
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,320
No, that wasn't what I meant.
I just meant...
61
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,320
Oh my God, I'm just saying, like,
62
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,080
if they don't take this woman sending me
hundreds of emails a day seriously,
63
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,080
they're not gonna give much of a shit
about a soft drink, are they?
64
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:17,920
Well, in that case...
65
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,200
I really hate to do this to you, Donny.
66
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,640
I think you'd better move out.
67
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,160
I moved to Kilburn with two guys
from my drama-school days.
68
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,560
One of their dads owned the flat,
so it was just about affordable for me.
69
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,120
I expected the absolute worst,
70
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,080
but as the door opened onto my new place,
71
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,800
all my dread and frustration
at the whole situation just vanished.
72
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,440
It was perfect. A fresh start.
73
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,120
Anonymity again.
74
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,360
Holy shit, this place is nuts.
75
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,400
Yeah, it's such a find, honestly.
76
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,760
Jesus Christ. The balcony!
77
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,360
Yeah. Always nice to look down on people
as they go about their lives.
78
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,760
Thought you'd have done enough of that
at private school.
79
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,440
Haven't seen you for two years,
already with the class digs. Good.
80
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,120
How's the comedy going?
81
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,480
Yeah, not bad. Got to the final
of a new-act competition recently.
82
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:23,880
New act?
83
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,840
You've been doing this for five years now.
84
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:28,600
At this rate, I'll still be doing them
when I'm picking up my pension.
85
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,600
How about you? What are you up to?
86
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,120
- I'm taking a gap year.
In London?
87
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,720
Are you working? Saving up or something?
88
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,400
Nah, I'm, uh, living off my savings.
89
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,440
Finding my way. Enjoying my freedom.
90
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,760
We steal Wi-Fi from the café downstairs.
It's fast as fuck, so we save there too.
91
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,200
Fucking hell, this is insane.
92
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,240
What's the catch?
93
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,920
I found it tediously predictable
that Francis had failed to mention
94
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,280
that him and Bijou had taken time off
to fulfil their...
95
00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:22,960
Cultural, psychoactive destiny, man.
96
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,360
Psychedelics, bro.
97
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,560
{\an8}They give you an insight, a clarity,
like nothing you've seen before.
98
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,720
My thoughts exactly.
99
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,600
A gap year, people think
that means getting on planes and shit,
100
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,640
but you can do an entire round trip inside
your living room these days, brother.
101
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:36,920
This all sounds very riveting,
102
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,400
but if it's okay,
I'd quite like to take a shit now.
103
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,720
So this was my life.
104
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,880
Hiding away in my bedroom
while the heat rose through the floor
105
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,360
and the walls pounded with
the shittest fucking music known to man,
106
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,160
feeling utterly overcome
107
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,280
with how much I hated Martha.
108
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:05,640
Hello?
109
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,280
I've got a daughter.
Two month-old. Two-month-old, right?
110
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:20,400
So I called her Adolf.
I'm joking! I'm joking!
111
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,520
What's going on?
112
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,440
She's three months old.
113
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:24,720
Oh, for fuck's sake.
114
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,960
Look, just fucking get that off.
115
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,840
No point. We've watched 'em all
several times.
116
00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:34,040
This is gonna sound like a crass question,
but why isn't it funny?
117
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,120
Ask Norwich.
It's Norwich that's not funny.
118
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,080
We laughed at it for two seconds,
then sat around depressed as fuck for you.
119
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,400
It's like when someone dies,
and you know you can't joke about it.
120
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,400
It makes me not wanna do acid again
121
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,800
in case I wake up
inside your comedy routine.
122
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,120
Sorry, who's this?
123
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,440
- That's Digsy. He's new.
- Make yourself at home, why don't you?
124
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,960
Whoa, don't take it out on Digsy.
It was Martha that told us.
125
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,920
I almost unbarred her there and then.
126
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,200
You don't have the authority to do that,
you fat prick.
127
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,280
To be fair, it's a lot funnier than
the audience are giving you credit for.
128
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:06,320
- That's true.
- Yeah, marginally so.
129
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,200
Don't pity me. That was my first gig.
I'm a lot better now.
130
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,240
Well, we look forward to seeing it.
131
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,560
Yeah, and until then, I'm thinking
let's project that on the wall.
132
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,920
- Beam this cunt round the entire pub.
- Right.
133
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,880
Yeah?
134
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,400
♪ You ask me if there'll come a time ♪
135
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,200
♪ When I grow tired of you... ♪
136
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,280
I started spending
more and more time around Teri's place.
137
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,600
I thought the incident with Martha
would be the end of us,
138
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,240
but instead it bound us
tighter than ever before,
139
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,480
Teri's experience allowing her
to better understand mine.
140
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,640
Jesus, those guys
are such assholes.
141
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,720
Did you tell them you have
a big, fancy comedy final coming up?
142
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,840
No, I don't think the prospect of becoming
the Laughing Duck New Act of the Year
143
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,000
would have done me favors
in a conversation like that.
144
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,560
They'll be laughing
on the other side of their face
145
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:05,840
when you take home the crown.
146
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,400
Mm, I like that attitude.
147
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,640
- Don't get used to this, by the way.
I won't.
148
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,720
- Too much chili?
Too much?
149
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,760
Christ, Teri,
they're gonna feed me this in hell!
150
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:27,680
Oh my God!
151
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,640
Here, drink your milk, pussy!
152
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,960
I feel like I can see into the next life.
153
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,160
And within the comfort
of Teri's flat,
154
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,120
with all the safety she needed
and all the privacy I did,
155
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,960
we flourished into the couple
we should have always been.
156
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,320
And in a strange sense,
I'd gotten everything I'd ever wanted,
157
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,960
a closed-door relationship,
158
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:51,280
as I tried very hard not to feel grateful
towards Martha in some fucked-up way.
159
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,040
When did you first figure out
you were open to dating trans women?
160
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,200
I think I asked God one day
if he could make my life more complicated.
161
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,960
How do you identify sexually?
If there was a gun to your head.
162
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,960
Oh, please, pull the trigger.
163
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,000
Shut up, asshole.
164
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:10,280
I don't fancy that funeral.
All the speeches.
165
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,760
"Donny was a top lad with great banter."
166
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,600
Will my gran
be the only one that's speaking?
167
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,680
Answer, idiot!
168
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,920
I don't know. Like, bi, maybe.
169
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:26,920
And what makes you bi?
170
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,000
Because I feel like a fraud
no matter who I sleep with.
171
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,000
What's it gonna take
to give you some confidence, huh?
172
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,400
Seriously, think about it.
173
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,840
I'm not sure you ever have.
174
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,760
I don't know. What's that phrase?
175
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,760
You know, the one about...
dancing and watching.
176
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:54,960
Confidence is dancing
like no one's watching you?
177
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:56,480
Yeah.
178
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:58,960
I don't know.
179
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,000
Just seems quite nice.
180
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,240
Well, that's easy.
181
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,160
See? Piece of cake.
182
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,720
Yeah, and you look like a total knob too.
183
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,280
Ten years of ballet,
two in tap and jazz.
184
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,960
My mom definitely wanted a girl.
185

No way.
190
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,360
- Don't be shy.
- No, not a chance in hell.
191
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:37,680
- Just try.
No, no.
192
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:40,080

- Oh, don't be such a bore.
193
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,760
Fine. I'm sandbagging.
194
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,320
No. I'm sandbagging. No.

00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,880

I dunno.
200
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,640

No, no. I'm... I'm fine.
I'm just finding it hard to...

00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,480
Shake off your prejudice?
212
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,040
Please. No lectures during foreplay.
213
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,600
Oh, come on. Don't act like
you wouldn't find me hot as a lecturer.
214
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,080
- Mm.
- Power suit. Secretary glasses.
215
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,080
One of those pointer things
to hit you with.
216
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,960
Oh, I'm sorry. No. No. I'm... I'm not ready.
217
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,200
I'm sorry. My... my body,
it's... it's just not letting me.
218
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,800
Hey, don't worry. It's fine.
219
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,080
Happens all the time.
220
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,440
- Does it?
Yeah.
221
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,320
- So I've heard.
Shut up!
222
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,480
- Would you like a tea or something?
Yeah, sure.
223
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:21,480
Okay.
224
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,360
It was strange.
225
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,880
After all the awful things
that had been done to my body,
226
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,760
I just couldn't lose myself
in intimacy anymore.
227
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,360
Now there were feelings involved,
it all just felt too much.
228
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,400
The touch, the love, the confirmation.
229
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,840
Sorry, it's just not happening.
230
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:57,120
Over the next fortnight,
after repeated failed attempts,
231
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,160
I started noticing a change in Teri.
232
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,760
Days spent predominantly in bed,
233
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,680
skulking around the house
in yesterday's clothes,
234
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:10,000
blurring the line between night and day
without her usual spark.
235
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,520
Is everything okay?
236
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,400
Yeah, I'm fine.
237
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,280
Then I would wake in the night
to find her shrinking inside of herself,
238
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:20,320
her wings clipped.
239
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,120
Is everything okay?
240
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,120
My God, stop asking that.
241
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,880
Well, maybe if you explain,
I might be able to help.
242
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,120
Look at my hair, Donny.
Look at the state of it.
243
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,200
- It's growing back in weird clumps.
I think it looks great.
244
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,840
It looks horrible, and you know it.
245
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,240
I look like fucking Beetlejuice.
246
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,360
Great. Now you're laughing.
247
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,600
What? That was funny.
248
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,160
Look, Teri, if this is anything to do
with all this awkward sex stuff...
249
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,480
No, it's the way you make me feel
during the sex stuff.
250
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,200
Like your body's manifesting
251
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,360
all the awful things
she said to me that night.
252
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,000
No, no, Teri,
it's got nothing to do with that.
253
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,120
It's just the whole Martha situation.
That's what's getting to me here.
254
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,200
I just feel so fucking stressed.
255
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,040
But what are you even doing
to fix the situation, Donny?
256
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,280
We've been stuck inside
for God knows how long now,
257
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,160
waiting for you to figure it out.
258
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,840
Well, I've been to the police,
but they were useless.
259
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,080
Did you mention what happened to me?
260
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,440
Of course I did.
261
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,520
Then why haven't they been round?
262
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,960
It's because you didn't say shit!
263
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,040
That's not true.
264
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,200
You stopped me calling them
the night she attacked me.
265
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,000
You stopped everyone calling.
266
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,200
You couldn't have whisked me
out of that pub any faster.
267
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,120
- I was trying to get you to safety.
- Yeah. Sure you were.
268
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,560
The safety inside your own fucking head.
269
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,560
She said I look like a man, Donny.
270
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,560
Do you know what that's like for me?
271
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,080
No, I don't.
272
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,760
But for what it's worth,
you don't look like a man at all.
273
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,160
Pretty rich coming from someone
who's always treated me like one.
274
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,560
I should have gone then.
275
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,200
I should have grabbed Teri's hand
276
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,440
and brought her
to the police station with me.
277
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,040
But still my shame won out.
278
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,000
I just had to find a different way.
279
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,680
We can't charge someone for masturbating.
280
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,000
It's not about the masturbating.
Read the email.
281
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,000
You shouldn't be allowed to send that.
282
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,640
If anything, her email implies
that she's gonna stay away.
283
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,560
I think you're missing the point here.
284
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,080
I'm giving you the arguments
she'll come back with.
285
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,080
To arrest someone
on the basis of an email,
286
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,400
we need a credible threat
or something sexually aggressive.
287
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,640
If I was a young woman
and a 40-year-old man
288
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,440
kept emailing stuff about wanking,
would that be a credible threat?
289
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,960
With male-to-female gender stalking,
the threat of a man is physical.
290
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,160
He carries more weight.
291
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,720
Nobody carries weight
against a fucking knife, do they?
292
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,520
Again, if I could see any evidence
that would suggest violence--
293
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,040
Oh, Jesus fucking Christ,
she's ruining my life here.
294
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,840
Type her name into the system.
Martha Scott.
295
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,240
There'll be something there.
I'm telling you.
296
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,320
Right.
297
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,320
Yeah. I... I believe I've found her.
298
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:52,640
Just... Tell you what...
299
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,000
why... why don't...
why don't I get you your, um...
300
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,400
Actually, why don't you
just come through to the back?
301
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,000
'Cause I'd better get my...
my supervisor just to look through this.
302
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,920
- Sorry, is there someone coming?
Yeah. Uh...
303
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,920
Oh, just... just now, in fact.
304
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:34,400
Thank you.
305
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,000
Good afternoon.
I'm Detective Joanne Culver.
306
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,800
So, Martha Scott.
307
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:56,920
Yeah.
308
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:58,920
I can't say too much here,
309
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,920
but all you need to know
is she is a very serious woman.
310
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,680
So serious that she once
stalked a policeman.
311
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:07,960
Right.
312
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,920
My colleague tells me she's not
in possession of your phone number.
313
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:11,880
Is that correct?
314
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,640
Yeah, that's... that's correct.
315
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,400
Good. Let's make sure
we keep it that way, shall we?
316
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,440
Yeah. Yeah.
317
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,720
Now, ideally,
you would draw up a timeline for us.
318
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,320
Everything that's happened thus far,
to give us a sense of the scale of it.
319
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,000
That's fine. And in the meantime?
320
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,560
We will talk to her,
321
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,760
warn her regarding any future conduct.
322
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:32,680
Great.
323
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:34,480
Then what?
324
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,560
The presence of the police
can change things, Mr. Dunn.
325
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,080
Mm, I get that,
but you literally just said
326
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,880
she's a serious woman
who even stalks policemen.
327
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:47,840
We'll do what we can.
328
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,760
The police's presence at Martha's
door brought with it a sudden silence.
329
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,680
Strange, eerie silence.
330
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,440
Not a single day from the moment I met her
did she not contact me.
331
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,080
Now silence.
332
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,200
Strange, eerie silence.
333
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,360
Weeks went by, and I started to panic.
334
00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:21,120
The emails allowed me
to tune into every facet of her emotion.
335
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:23,640
I knew when she was sad,
when she missed me,
336
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,520
when she was ill or drunk or angry.
337
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:26,880
Now nothing.
338
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,680
I found myself awake at night,
339
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,760
worried, terrified, in fact,
340
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,920
that I was gonna get up one morning
to find she'd killed herself,
341
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,880
an email in my inbox
expressing that I was the reason why.
342
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:57,760
Did I miss her?
343
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,640
Was there some part of me that missed her?
344
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,320
Missed the drama, missed the attention,
345
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,920
missed the distraction from him
and Teri and myself and what happened.
346
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:07,960
Did I miss her?
347
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,320
And the strangest part about all of this,
348
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,760
I started to masturbate over Martha.
349
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,480
There was something so awful yet thrilling
350
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,520
about doing something
that would devastate my life even further.
351
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,880
I would come quickly every time
and be left with the same confusion
352
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,400
that had become my post-orgasm trademark.
353
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,320
"What the fuck was that?
Where did that come from?"
354
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,800
I wasn't even attracted to her,
355
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,840
but the idea of it
became this wild obsession for me.
356
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,360
♪ ...take a stand ♪
357
00:20:44,360 --> 00:20:47,600

370

Out of all the things
I expected Martha to do next,
371
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,120
fixing my broken libido
wasn't one of them.
372
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,080
♪ ...of the morning, angel... ♪
373
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,480
And I hated
how happy it made Teri too.
374
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,640
♪ Then slowly turn away ♪
375
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,240
I didn't know anything anymore,
376
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,920
so, in a tailspin
as to where this all might end,
377
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,240
I felt abused again.
378
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:06,560
Surely with the police now involved,
she'd be foolish to do anything else.
379
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,640
Have you put together a timeline?
380
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,640
Uh, not yet. Sorry, I... I...
381
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,120
I haven't found the words.
382
00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:20,080
Well, no problem.
Just get it to us when you can.
383
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,120
So we spoke to Ms. Scott.
384
00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:24,440
What did she say?
385
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,000
Uh, well, she was surprisingly cooperative
in the end.
386
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:32,400
Really?
387
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,960
She said she was embarrassed
and went on to accept our offer of help.
388
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,600
In fact, she has attended
two of our social-adjustment courses
389
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:40,800
since we last spoke to her.
390
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,600
Social-adjustment courses?
391
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,280
It's usually for ex-convicts
who have done lengthy prison sentences,
392
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,200
but it helps with reoffenders as well.
393
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,320
So, did she say anything else?
394
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,680
Nothing that causes concern.
395
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,680
She didn't, like, pass anything on?
396
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,480
Nothing that comes to mind.
397
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,120
But she was upset, right?
I mean, she must have been upset.
398
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,880
No. No, she took it quite well, actually.
399
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,640
So, that's it, then?
400
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,360
That's it.
401
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,480
If she contacts you again,
we'll move the process on to the CPS,
402
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,160
who will decide the judicial outcome,
403
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,200
and likely result in you obtaining
a full restraining order.
404
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,880
You can breathe out now, Donny.
405
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,080
So, what? She just accepted it?
406
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,120
Yeah. Strange, right? I at least thought
she'd say something back.
407
00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:45,640
You know, make shit up.
But, apparently, she was very cooperative.
408
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:46,680
Weird.
409
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,120
You think you know someone.
410
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:51,040
Yeah.
411
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:54,600
What's wrong?
412
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,680
Not the big showdown you were hoping for?
413
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:02,280
{\an8}I don't know. It's just, like, odd
that she had self-restraint all along.
414
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,200
{\an8}Makes me think
she wasn't all that mad to begin with.
415
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,520
Now you're talking like the crazy one.
416
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,960
I'm not crazy.
40,000 law firms say otherwise!
417
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,960
Hey, this is still a mentally ill woman
that we're talking about here.
418
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:15,880
Okay, okay.
419
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,280
I'm still a therapist.
420
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:18,680
I can't be seen indulging...
421
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:21,640
...rank impressions, baby reindeer,
422
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,440
baseless lies and slander.
423
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,040
What was that?
424
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,480
Was that...
Was that a Martha impression? Wow.
425
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,040
Who's that?
426
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,040
It's my mum.
427
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,720
Get it. I'm intrigued. You can always
judge a man by how he treats his mother.
428
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,120
What the fuck do you want?
429
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,480
I'm only joking. I haven't picked up.
430
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:54,920
I'll get back to her later.
This night is for us.
431
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:58,280
Here.
432
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:01,920
To new beginnings.
433
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:03,920
To new beginnings.
434
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,400
- Do you know what you're having?
No idea. What are you getting?
435
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,280
I usually pick the only thing
I can pronounce on the menu,
436
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,720
so I think it's the ham hock for me.
437
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:22,280
First new message,
received Sunday 28th at 8:28 p.m.
438
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,600
Will you pick up?
We've been ringing every hospital
439
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,400
to figure out
which one you've been taken to.
440
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,240
Nobody knows a thing, so if you would--
441
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,440
Give me that, will you?
Son, pick up your bastard phone.
442
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,760
We're sitting here
wondering where the fuck to go.
443
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,640
Nobody has any records of you anywhere,
444
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,920
or a car crash
or anything we've been told.
445
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,720
So tell us what's going on.
446
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,400
We can't get back through
to the person who called either.
447
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:44,680
What's her fucking name?
448
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:47,160
Martha.
