Can you be more precise?

I was raped by three people in the house.

Ruba...

...his brother...

and another man who came to

the house to learn the Koran.

SHE COUGHS:

How old were you at that time?

I was 12.

Did you tell anyone about this abuse?

- Would you like to take a break?

- No!

Moist hands.

No eye contact.

Stand up. INTERPRETER TRANSLATES.

Stand next to him.

About 5' 7 ", 5' 8".

You'll receive a letter with an

appointment to see Social Services.

They will carry out an age assessment.

INTERPRETER TRANSLATES

Here is a list of solicitors

and a map of how to get here.

We're done. You can leave.

DANCE MUSIC BLARES

- Rafi, man? - Rafi?

- Come on, we thought it might be good for you, you know.

- Go down the park, have a few laughs.

- I don't come! - Oh, Rafi!

The Feds won't recognise you, man.

Dress how you like.

We are going Bollywood-style,

man, your favourite.

You go as a gangster, innit? The

bad boy all the girls love.

- Do not say to me. I don't come.

- Oh, Rafi, please.

Rafi, it's good, you will like it.

I don't come, that's it.

Rafi!

Rafi, of course it's safe!

I'll look after you.

Another raghead.

Assalaamu Alaikum.

You guys know each other from back home?

You are all my brothers, eh? Mmm?

DOOR OPENS:

I will come. THEY CHEER.

- Rafi...

- Rafi? Where's he going?

Omar.

MUSIC SEEPS FROM HEADPHONES

Stinks in here.

Sorry?

Div!

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

RECEDING FOOTSTEPS

I suffer you in my arms

Ooh-ooh-ooh...

- Hey, Chloe!

- LAUGHTER.

Take a picture for back home.

- Alpha! - Wait, what? - Move over.

- No, no, no, no, stop. I didn't ask...

- This is not a family photo!

- Right, cheese! - Wait, wait, wait!

- Oh, Rafi, what are you doing?

- Again. - Abdul!

Hey, introduce yourselves, idiots.

Give me the phone!

LAUGHTER:

- What did he say?

- The beautiful girl is Chloe.

Ooooh!

- What the hell is this?

- Diwali!

It represents the triumph

of good over evil.

Papers, please.

- Papers, please, young man.

- Sorry?

Papers, please. Thank you very much.

- Can I see your papers, please?

- I haven't done anything, Officer.

I know. Can I have your name?

Can I have your name, please?

- My name is Rafi.

- Your full name and your address?

THEY ARGUE:

- I'm talking to your friend, all right?

- I haven't done anything!

The sooner you let him do his job, the

sooner you can all be on your way.

Have you got anything

that you shouldn't have?

- No, I don't have anything.

- Nothing at all?

Stand aside, please, sir.

Stand aside, please.

Can you just stand aside, please?

- We're talking to him.

- Rafi, go!

Go, Rafi, go!

- Go, Rafi, run! Go, Rafi!

- Go, Rafi!
