Apple Tree Yard

The more we learn about DNA,

the more avenues there are for gene therapy.

You were very articulate in there, Professor. Oh, good.

I've never done anything like that before.

You're married.

So am I.

'Dear X, the only person I can talk to about you is you.'

Is everything OK? No, it's not that girl, is it? Rosa?

If you're sleeping with her, you can tell me, you know. I'm not.

You're beautiful.

What are we doing?

Remind me what it is you do again?

Well, you know, civil service.

Life's mysterious, which is a good thing.

Hey.

It's a dummy camera.

It's easy to tell the difference if you know what to look for. Oh, my God.

I just left my stuff in my office, won't take me a sec.

No, come on, George, don't be silly...

Get off me!

'Fear - that's what makes animals of us all.'

This programme contains some strong language

and scenes which some viewers may find upsetting from the start.

Home time.

'Dear X...

'..you made me feel special.

'But I'm not special.

'I know what I am now...

'..nothing...

'..no-one.

'It turns out that all it really takes for your life and

'everything you thought about yourself to change for ever

'isn't love or passion.

'All it takes is one good, hard slap.'

'Hello?

'Are you playing it cool?

'Yvonne? Hello?

'Is everything OK?'

No.

Hi. Hey.

Oh, Jesus.

Did you know him?

Who was he?

George Selway.

He was at the party.

He works at the university and we do...

external exams, you know, panels together.

I've known him for about two years.

He couldn't have seemed more harmless.

You... You haven't got any marks on...? On your face or...?

He used the flat of his hand.

Like he knew what he was doing.

Have you got bruises anywhere else?

I've got...

I've got finger bruises on my thighs from when he...

And I've got internal bruising.

And an anal tear.

I didn't fight back.

Listen, do you want me to get some people to take a statement from you?

No, a team that's used... Used to handling this sort of thing?

I can't make a statement, you know I can't.

If they take a swab...

..you.

Your semen will be on it.

Jesus.

Your semen will be on it as well as his.

You could... You could leave it for a bit.

They don't necessarily need forensic evidence to bring a prosecution.

It's OK.

I don't want you to.

I just needed to see you.

What about your husband?

Are you going to tell him?

No. Won't it be obvious there's something wrong though?

I'll just be I'll. I'll...

I'll be ill for a few days.

Well, you're not hot.

It comes and goes.

Took a paracetamol.

Hmm.

How was Sunderland?

Windy.

You don't have to exile yourself in here, you know.

I might be up in the night - you never get back to sleep.

Poor old thing.

Are you sure it's not just the hangover from hell?

Less of the "old".

I'll bring you a cuppa.

Hey!

Anyone in?

Adam?!

Hi, Mum.

What are you doing in my room?

Are you sure you don't want some toast or something?

I'm good, thanks.

It's OK, then?

Just for a bit?

Adam, love, this is your home.

You can stay as long as you like.

It's just a couple of days,

just to sort some stuff out.

Stuff to do with your music, or...?

Maybe I will make myself some toast.

You've reached Doctor Carmichael's phone.

I'm out of the office.

For urgent enquiries, please contact my assistant, Rupa Patel,

on extension 223.

Thanks, bye.

The twisted little fuck.

You did the right thing.

Just cut off communication.

But log it somewhere, yeah?

Any attempt to contact you, just log it,

just in case. In case of what?

Just in case.

He knows about us.

How?

Don't know.

Maybe he saw me with a phone.

It's as though he smelled it on me...

..the sex.

Apple Tree Yard.

Did you tell him anything about me?

Did you mention my name?

No, of course not.

He doesn't know who you are, just that you exist.

We were talking, and I was quite pissed.

God, why was I so pissed?

Look, hey, listen.

None of this is your fault -

none of it.

What did he say?

I was talking about Gary and...

He said, "Is that why you're fucking someone else?"

And that's when he... It's OK.

Yvonne...

..it's going to be OK.

It will.

I'm sorry.

You didn't sign up for this.

I signed up for you.

My signature dish.

Microwaved to perfection, if I may say.

I did try.

Oh, if you're not hungry, you're not hungry.

It's...

It's girl trouble.

He's talked to you?

Oh, a tiny bit. Just that really.

There's this girl.

It's not... whatshername, from the halfway house? Ellie?

No, I don't think so.

Von, don't go rushing in.

Oh, for God's sake, you think I don't know by now?

I've barely asked him a question.

I know it's hard.

Hard, yeah.

Why don't you go back to bed, hmm?

You look like you're at death's door.

Yeah.

Hi.

Listen, I've thought of something.

I've got someone that you can talk to about what happened -

an expert.

I'm not sure I want to talk to anyone.

You wouldn't have to go to a police station.

It might just give you a clearer idea of your options.

OK?

Kevin should be able to advise you on reporting an incident like this.

We went up to his office to get his stuff.

We were both quite drunk by that stage.

And he tried to kiss me.

I wasn't really taking it seriously.

And he hit me...

..across the face, really hard.

That's all it took.

And then...

It just seemed to go on for a very long time.

I was too scared to move.

Did he... speak at all?

There were a few... instructions.

He said at one point...

He said, "Give me your mouth."

That's a terrible thing you've been through. I... I am so sorry.

Now, I'm just going to talk you through the process of

reporting the rape, yeah?

But I can give you contact details

for counsellors trained to help women

in a situation such as yourself.

No, I don't think that that...

Oh, well...

Thank you.

Unfortunately, look, I'm not going to sugar-coat it, Dr Carmichael.

Being drunk will be a gift for the defence.

You spent the evening with this man.

At a party.

But you see where I'm going.

They'll try and frame it as a date rape type situation.

The first thing this bloke's solicitor will do, if he's charged,

is try to get anything he can on you.
