I May Destroy You

This programme contains very strong language and some scenes of a sexual nature.

I took Bob aside, I said, "Can you stop?"

Barely finished speaking before he's looking all horrified,

saying he'll never talk to me again cos it's safer,

looking at me like I'M crazy.

Well, Bob probably does think you're crazy.

He thinks this is all a little uncalled for

and this personal space thing is all going a bit too far.

And he's very confident in his view

because he's gone exploring to see for himself what boundaries

and violations these women might be banging on about,

because Bob's thorough.

And on his explorations, Bob found the line that separated him

from everything else.

Rather than crossing it, he tiptoed on it

and he experienced this feeling of being on the boundary...

..on the border...

..right on the line of being neither in one place or another,

and saw how, in this grey area, where nothing was quite clear,

no-one could BE clear.

He can't articulate, follow our words,

he couldn't pinpoint exactly what

it was he did that we felt was so wrong.

So, yeah, Bob thinks you're crazy.

Yeah, he thinks he's the smartest man in the room who knoweth

all the things, because Bob has observed the detail.

We have to start observing Bob...

..telling him...

..we do see the detail.

We see you, Bob. And if we see you, it means we are right there with you

tiptoeing in line, right behind you,

and, in that place, where rules, clarity,

law and separation cease to exist,

we will show you exactly what we mean by violation.

We're all somewhere on a line. Sexuality's a spectrum.

We're all on the spectrum. Really?! I had no idea. Let's all have sex.

I don't know why it's a big deal for you two. You're straight.

I'm not straight, I just love dick.

Yeah, and I have dick, so...

So does my brother, but what's the point in hand?

The point in hand is that,

as you know, sex with men is not safe for me right now,

after being sexually assaulted by one of them,

so I'd like to have sex with...a female. A female!

I'm dead.

My brother's dick, my brother's dick, my brother's dick.

Boobs and a vag, boobs and a vag, boobs and a vag.

Your nostrils are flaring. You're disgusting!

Wank. Just wank, please, and leave the females alone. Say wank, yeah?

Huh? Huh? Wank, yeah?

Huh? Huh?

Where are you going? Where are you going?

Yo, what's good? Hey!

Hey. Are your ears itchy? I was just thinking about you.

Really? Um, no, they're not itchy.

Are yours? No. And you just crossed my mind, so I guess that is...

Oh, my God!

Oh, fuck. Heartbroken. Gutted.

Are you...are you with people? Your eyes are sort of darting around.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm just with a couple of friends

at the moment, so... Ah, right. I'd better get back to work anyway.

Um...

..do you...do you by any chance want to go out tonight?

I'd really like that. Er, yeah.

Yeah, me too. Yeah, I'll be free. Good. I'll talk to you later, yeah?

I'm dead, I'm dead.

Oh, my God. I'm dead!

Wow, wow, wow.

What?

Hello?

Congratulations!

Thanks. Oh! Girl or boy? Do you know yet? It's a girl. Aww!

Hello. Double congratulations. Hello! Oh, my God!

Thanks for coming today.

Tell me you guys get to leave.

We do. Bless you.

We need to be pregnant baes. Literally, your birth is my cause.

We'll do a YouTube channel and an Insta page... Obviously. ..pregnant baes.

Oh, my God. Do it. Endorse us. I love it.

Oh, are you going to, like, film each other's births?

Us? I don't think that's our... Oh, OK.

That's our shit. We're kind of trashy like that.

Yeah, we probably should... Yes, no, of course. Yeah. Sorry.

I'm going to read you a summing up of what we've done.

I appreciate it's been nine months since your first interview. Oh!

The initial inquiries we made were to find out where the crime

took place. We did manage to trace you quite successfully on CCTV.

We scrutinised that CCTV

and potentially identified a possible suspect who was

already on remand for a very similar offence in a nearby area.

Yeah, that's the one you arrested.

He was interviewed and his DNA was taken.

We had numerous conversations with forensic scientists to decide

which items of your personal belongings were best suited

to examine and where we might find any kind of... The flannel.

When you tested the flannel. Yes.

Subsequently, forensics detected semen on the flannel.

In a normal case, we could just upload it onto a DNA database

and wait for a match to come along.

But unfortunately, the DNA detected wasn't substantial enough

to conduct a mass comparison, so our only option was to directly

compare individual DNA profiles with the sample.

We asked about any consensual partners at the time of the assault.

Biagio. Yeah. He did go into a station and his DNA was taken

in Italy.

It didn't match. It was a negative match.

Subsequently, we compared the DNA results with the suspect

already under arrest.

That was also negative, so, unfortunately,

that line of investigation didn't go anywhere.

So, it's no longer an active investigation.

I'm really sorry to give you that kind of information.

We...we have your belongings back from forensics.

Would you like them back?

How are you doing, bae? If you want to chat, chat.

If you want to cry, you can cry.

Cos, I mean, I don't know how healthy it is to be here any longer.

You know what I mean? Cos I'm like,

I know the story hasn't been sweet

and we've been here lingering for an hour, so I'm like,

"Let's transport Arabella out of the police station

"into an environment that sparks joy."

I need to leave. Yeah, yeah. Good. Get a taxi. Destination - self-care.

Maxed out my cards. Bae, I haven't. I've got you.

There is something. OK. Go on.

I can't say it. Do you want to come and whisper it to me?

Huh?

Bella, I can't hear you. I need a plane ticket to Italy.

Bella...

What? ..what is it about Italy?

You know what it is about Italy.

Bella, man! Bella, listen. I don't understand.

His dick game was strong. You fell, hook, line and sinker.

But now, it's time to sink him, hook, line and sink him.

This is the same guy, yeah, that told you you had a drug problem

and then sold you drugs in the same breath.

It wasn't in the same breath. What?

It was in the same night, which is different. Listen, he's a hypocrite.

He's controlling. Is being around a controlling hypocrite

good for your recovery? Let me just check the recovery tool box.

Ooh! "Surround yourself with people who affirm you."

And that's...you? Yes.

That's you? Yes, it is.

So, if you were to suddenly not affirm me

when I needed affirmation the most, it would make you someone

I should stay away from, and a bit controlling and hypocritical?

# When they wanna watch face They double click on my avi

# I've always been too on my name Shoulda been Tinashe

# I told 'em I'll never change I gave it all to my cabby

# I whip it up in the kitchen I shoulda got me a Grammy

# I'm boasy, you know me Never get too cosy

# Don't mention my name Just come and approach me

# I'm not that type to type in emojis

# You ain't important I'm gonna leave you in a lower key

# It's not my b-day But I got my cake up

# I dropped out the weave and I left the make-up

# Everyday scheme from the time you wake up

# Your full-time job shoulda been a hater. #

How's the journey? Was it all right? Yeah, yeah, it was good, thank you.

Oh, my God. You're seeing my face up close for the first time.

I'm shitting it. Don't. What you talking about? You're stunning.

Oh, well, you know. Nerve-racking when the veil goes...

You're gorgeous. I love your hair.

Don't say that you like my hair.

It's the only thing I know cannot be liked by anybody. It's awful! What?

I have a hat in my bag. That's how much I hate my hair.

You carry a hat in your bag? On every one of these things.

Oh, yeah? So, how does that work?

Well, I sit across from you and if I see your eyes darting up

to my hair, then I excuse myself to the toilet

and I come back...like this.

Seriously.

I like to do what I can to make it a pleasurable experience

for both parties. A pleasurable experience? Yeah.

All right. Well...we should drink to that. What are you having?

A G&T would be amazing. Thank you.

Well, are you into white girls?

Black girls?

Do you have a particular interest in Greek girls?

Er...

..um, nah, I'm pretty open.

I'm into everything.

But you're here with me.

Yeah. Walking me home.

What about you? Do you have a type?

I'm into guys with some edge.
