Clique

Haven't seen badass Holly in a while. Where'd she come from?

I read about you last year. I think we might have something in common.

Want someone to walk you home?

It's Jack by the way.

You came because you're turned on. Why not just stop pretending?

CLIQUE

Season II episode 2

What's happened?

We were attacked.

Two guys... Their faces were covered.

- Did they... - No.

They didn't touch me. Not like that anyway.

They stripped me, they...

NO THANKS

Fraser tried to protect me.

It was brave.

They were two of them...

But he still tried, didn't you?

We can tell them, Fraser. We have to tell them.

It's okay.

I already told the police.

We saw one of them.

We saw him.

Good morning.

- She needs to go. - What?

Sorry. He means sorry, you need to go.

Whatever, I'm not lying here and expect some breakfast.

Jesus...

Okay, well...

We all need to go down, make a statement.

- But Jack's arrested? - Yeah.

Did you come back with him?

No. Did you?

Does it matter? I'll say whatever he needs me to say.

The death of our good pal and Edinburgh MP John Evans

has caused the usual feeding frenzy

around the dreaded subject of by-election.

It's no secret that I want to get my hands on his seat.

But, I'm just going to come out and say this,

I won't be standing as a member of the party

that's been my family for 14 years.

I'm starting a new party. It's called Forward

because that's the direction we intend to travel, obviously.

And if being a single mother has taught me anything,

it's that if you wait around hoping someone else will make things better,

you'll be waiting a bloody long time.

New policies, new approaches,

new dedication to equal representation.

Jack!

Jack...

- I'm his mother. Has he been charged? - I'm not a minor, they didn't call.

I sure as fuck didn't call. And yet you're here.

- Jack, why don't you just come... - You're pathetic.

It's okay you were with me. Don't worry.

How did you get the phone, Rachel?

What, you want a blow by blow?

If you keep calling me, I'll tell your case worker.

No, you won't. How else are we going to chat?

Has it started yet?

Rachel, I'm gonna go.

What's going on? What's his name?

Give me the name, Holly. You know I can help you.

Jack Yorke.

- Hello gorgeous. - I need to speak to him.

Who? Lots of excellent men to speak to in this house.

Barney, just let her in.

What's up, Hol?

Turn around.

Is this a casual call or have you got a question?

Who the fuck are you?

Looks like you've already decided.

Rayna seemed pretty clear... of what she saw.

Well then... you know it all.

- You invited her to that party. - I don't even know her.

You want to talk about the interview I just did at the police station...?

Three hours being treated like a monster.

They bailed me... Till they work out how to ruin my life.

Wanna know what they asked me? How about what I said, huh?

Ask me...

Go on...

Ask me, did I do it?

Jack.

Give us a minute.

Are you two done?

I don't like sexual tension in the house if it's not directed at me.

Shut up, Aubrey.

How's your girlfriend, Hol? She send you round?

Barney, not now.

- What this is? - Holly...

Get out, will you?

Hey... hey!

Don't I know you?

No.

Rayna asked me to step in.

I can help you, tell people what's happening.

Don't you think we should wait for the police

before we start sending e-mails?

What? No, Fraser. We need to send it now.

Hey.

They discharged you then?

I discharged myself. I'm fine.

You been at uni?

Yeah. Has the liaison officer been round?

About as useful as a slap in the face.

There's no CCTV at that part of the prom.

So there's no real evidence.

Just what you and Rayna saw.

Yeah.

He's out on bail. They can't even say if they've got a case.

This the reason why people don't come forward.

That's why Rayna is upstairs having basically been told she's on her own.

I think I'm going to lie down for a bit.

We've been dicks, Holly.

We should join Women Rise, we need to help her now.

Is she still sure it was Jack?

Why wouldn't she be?

Let me clarify for you.

We found the worst people in the world. Again.

So let's not be as fucking stupid as we were last time.

He won't talk to me.

Rayna, you're sure it was him?

Fraser's being so mean.

How d'you mean?

He was attacked too. He must have been terrified.

Rayna...

Rayna, wait...

Rayna!

- Everyone's cross with me. - No. I promise you they're not.

You know what saved me last year? After everything went wrong...

The truth...

Just keep telling the truth.

Do you like me, Holly...?

You still like me right?

How is Forward new? What was wrong with the old one?

Well, representation, for a start.

Why should a bunch of old white men decide

how much child benefit a single mother gets?

Or what our kids are thaught in school?

What about the young people? We feel ignored.

That's why at Forward

we want to create new oppotunities for young people,

make sure that their voices are heard, make them part of...

I Googled you.

You were a lecturer. And then you were fired.

I don't like corruption.

And that's why you set up Twitcher?

To speak out about corruption at university?

This goes a little way past university, Holly...

Our news-media is entirely one-sided.

And Twitcher is the other side? It's a home for little lost boys.

What's going on with you and these boys?

Young guys just come to me, Holly.

We've been alienating these men for decades.

Telling them they are nothing more than patriarchal oppressors,

monsters in waiting...

I don't know what discrimination you think young men are facing...

They're going to ruin Jack's life, Holly.

You cannot come back from this sort of accusation.

It is a life destroyed in a few short words.

You think he didn't do it.

I think we live in a world where you need to follow up for yourself,

rather than believing what you read or what you're told.

Holly, we need you.

Look, I'm having a thing at the office tonight.

I think the boys are coming. You should too.

Do you know how powerful you are? How people will listen when you speak.

- You owe it to those boys to... - I don't owe anyone a fucking thing.

Jack!

I found it. It was freshers, last year.

I don't remember.

We were fucked.

But she was there, Jack. You know her.

Where were you last night?

I don't know.

You don't know?

Okay.

It's gone.

Talk to Ben. He gets it.

He can help.

Why are you napping?
