Preaching to the Perverted Page #4
and the trial lasts three days,,
it could amount to 250 000.
I'd have to commit suicide.
We'll be billing you in advance.
What kind of security can anyone offer?
It's called a home.
Now, you're definitely prepared to go
into the witness box, son,
- with all the scrutiny that will come with it?
- Yes. Are you definitely going to prosecute?
We, son, we. Most definitely.
These are the kind of affidavits jurors
read with one hand when they get home, eh?
By the end of the week,
the writ will hit their fan.
Why so glum?
I'm making you permanent
if this comes off.
Big career opening up for you.
I came to warn you, basically.
You're next.
I'm sure it was Peter Emery
who tipped the Yard off.
Nasty neighbour did
the tipping off, actually.
I sent the bloody dog
back in a Woolworths bag.
Didn't deserve any better.
Look, I still think we should make
Let's get ready for the show.
They tell me the police
may raid tonight.
Well, let'em come!
Is anyone here from Scotland Yard ?
Step right up !
Looking for my secret past?
Whatever happened to you as a child,
I feel I should know.
He looks like an abuser.
My mom's ashamed of me now,
but I grew up happy,
so she keeps sending me reminders.
Of a dull past,
if Mistress will permit me to say so.
I used to do straight sex,
go shopping, wear loose clothes.
Beurk.
Consigned to the dustbin of history?
Mistress, What you going
- He's not a slave.
- Quite, Mistress.
So he's either after information,
or a vanilla relationship.
I love you.
You're not permitted to say that.
You're here to serve me,
not complicate my life.
Neither you or the boy
are going to have me.
Eugenie! Stop electrocuting Peter.
We were out of line
leaving him in the road.
with a private prosecution.
F*** them. I'll be back
in the States by then.
No. There'll be an immediate attempt
to injunct your act.
- On what grounds?
- To prevent corruption of public morals, -
actual bodily harm,
keeping a disorderly house..
- Well, the last part's true.
- Don't laugh!
An 18th century law can send you to jail
just the same as a modern one.
And how come your information
is so good?
I can't go into that.
Can't you calm down?
Be a bit more like normal women?
- And woo men?
- Tanya, they'll get you.
Better to serve a few months,
than sacrifice my lifestyle.
Could be years, not months.
I'll bet your hot ass would love
some cold cream.
What's your darkest fantasy?
Just thinking about it makes me
wet with sweat.
I love you.
Is that all that's troubling you?
Why don't we both...
just go away for a while? On a holiday?
No sex of any description.
I'll lose my job, if necessary, and... -
you'll avoid prosecution.
Let's play for big stakes.
If it points at me,
I'll go on that holiday. No sex, right?
If it points at you, you get
to play my darkest fantasy. Tonight.
Your bridal suite, please.
Yes, Miss. er...?
- Cheex.
- That's Cheex, with an 'x'.
Will you be needing an extra... pillow?
A husband, a dog, two kids...
- Your darkest fantasy.
- Take me!
I think you have to take me.
I'm the virgin, remember?
Promise to be gentle.
- Oh, Peter!
- Tanya.
Oh my God.
You f***ed me.
You f***ed me.
- Wasn't that the idea?
- F*** no, it was a game.
Don't ever come near me
in your miserable life again!
Tanya!
Will sir be needing to borrow some clothes?
Hi. "Hell For Leather" dispatch?
Hug me, Eugenie.
Clark, the Bill of Parliament.
- What are you smirking at?
- A naughty pony.
You enjoy serving... Eugenie?
You think I enjoy buying supersize
for someone past her menopause?
I'm sorry.
Can I make it up to you?
How?
Peter is working for Henry Harding.
- How did you find out?
- I went through his briefcase.
Mistress didn't carry out
They have more than enough
evidence to jail us.
Get out.
Please don't do that.
I'm not a man trying
to possess you.
I want to honour you and love you!
Eugenie, you're the one
who runs this business.
It's your ideas
that make us a success
Take over.
I prefer to hand in my notice.
Eugenie, they need you!
I need you!
You expect me to eat these cold?
Go and bake some more
before I punish you!
And what are you all grinning at?
Back to work!
So, did this, er..
Tanya woman seduce you or not?
I think the answer's no.
I was so drunk.
No.
Then your testimony
can't be discredited.
I'm sorry Mr. Harding.
- For getting in so deep with her.
- Eh, devilish things, women.
I'm not sure she's that evil.
Isn't branding, beating, cutting
people's skins evil?
It's against Christian teaching, lad.
You and I know that.
This private criminal prosecution -
is the first step in reversing
the moral slide of the nation.
Mr. Harding, you and your body police
say that no one should endure pain in a sexual context.
- I don't want a slanging match with you on the pavement.
- You do every day in Parliament.
I aim to uphold the law of this land -
concerning bodily harm in a sexual context,
- gross indecency...
- Wouldn't you say that removal of clothing
indicates sexual context?
Absolutely, yes.
Then why, when you were a headmaster at Chopham
School did you punish boys with their trousers down?
- Is that true, Mister Harding?
- No, that's a pack of lies. it's typical of those people.
- Do you whip young boys?
- No, No, No, No comment.
Mrs. Cutts-Watkinson, why haven't you
resigned as head of television?
Now what did the children think about
it all? Mrs. Cutts-Watkinson?
"Cutts-Watson"
If the spectacle outside -
was intended to
advance your cause in the public eye,-
let me tell you that the slightest repetition
will result in an instant custodial sentence..
And if the defendant displays her bosom
in such a wanton manner tomorrow, -
I shall impose severe penalties
for contempt of court.
M'lud, in view of the disgusting nature
of the evidence the jury must soon face, -
might I suggest recess now for...
refreshments?
Five minutes.
Tanya.
Of all the men I've ever met, you're
the only one I was ever attracted to as a friend..
- I tried to warn you, believe me.
- What do you believe in, Peter? In God?
- Yes
- And is that who you're doing this for?
Or is it for your career?
The things you do at clubs are so bloody sick,
no one should be allowed
Preaching to the perverted now?
Your dick got pretty stiff some nights,
I remember.
Listen, I'm told
the only way you'll avoid jail, -
is by pleading guilty
and giving it all up.
Don't worry, son.
Mr. Emery, you're
to witness the video.
And this frame, -
You may observe what is known as
"penis torture".
See the spiked cage,
the weights attached,
attached by that woman there.
There are a further
37 instances of flagellation, -
piercing, branding, ritual cutting...
known as scarification.
