01x03 - King of Cov

[bunniefuu]

What do you think about that
Summer? She seems all right.

Maybe Billy found
somewhere he'd rather be.

This is Nathan.
All right, Khaled.

They're my nails,
you little rat.

You should've took
them when you left.

I hate snitches. So I'd
watch my back if I were you.

You mess with Khaled, you
mess with the boiler room.

Sleep with one eye
open if I were you.

Whahh!

Morning, guys.

The crowd roared
"Joshy! Joshy! Joshy!

"Joshy! Joshy!"

Your face. Did you think
I was going to hit you?

Are you all right?
My heart's racing.

You see what you've
done? No, in a good way.

You see, someone gets it.

What's your problem, Billy boy?
Scared to have a bit of fun?

You, the clown on the bike.

Just having a giggle,
man. Chill, yeah.

Do you see anyone laughing?

What is it with
people at this school?

Why does everyone take
themselves so seriously?

CRUNCHING

♪ Wake up in the morning, we
rise when the early bird calling

♪ When we get up in our
feelings, do what a phoenix do

♪ So of course we rise.
We've got to get to class

♪ We rise. We rise

♪ All my friends
gonna see this through

♪ Cos we just do what a
phoenix do. We rise. ♪

No-one's mum walks them to
school. Well, yours does.

Now, hush up and hurry up.
I'm going to be late for work.

What's in that letter?

We'll talk about it later.

It was about me, wasn't it?

Is she going to live there?
You know that's not possible.

Why not? Because I have your
welfare to think about, Layla.

Your sister. What?

See the friends she hangs out
with. The trouble she's caused us.

She's doing really well.
You know, like super well.

I know it may be hard, but it's
the best outcome for everyone.

For you, more like.
That's enough.

If you spoke to her, you'll
see how much she's changed.

Huh!

Instead of trying to fix your
sister, just focus on your show.

Your mate Rihanna's there.

Why don't you walk the rest
of the way of her, yeah?

Give your sister some space.

Maybe one day we can
be a family again.

This bike cost more than
that heap of a junk car.

Driving about at your
age. That's embarrassing.

And that's definitely the attitude
you're going with, is it? So!

Look, I've apologised and
I'll pay for any repairs.

This... Like you
can afford that.

Shall we move on nicely or
are we going to get you down

to the drama department,
showcase your little performance?

You can't talk to me like that.

I think you'll find I just did.

Yeah, you better leave.

Have you heard this?

There you go, OK.
Good as new, innit?

I found these.

Found?

All right. Borrowed.

This is all my fault.

I'm the one who
let Nathan in here.

Can we stop blaming each other?

We just need to make sure
someone's in here at all times.

What happens when
we're in lessons?

I, erm...

..made a timetable.

It's colour-coded.

See? Teamwork.

Who's on until noon? Layla.

Well, we might as well kiss
this place goodbye, then. Billy.

Well, she needs to start pulling
her weight or she's out of here.

Can you believe that mad
old woman mashed up my bike?

Layla: We've got bigger
things to deal with right now.

Like what? The Nathan issue.

Oh. I'm the bringer of dreams.

Lay all your glory upon me.

Anyone wants to get in here, they
have to get past this bad boy.

Did you get my text? Yeah.

Hey, B, wait up.
That bag is lit.

Sorry, I haven't been around
much. I'm busy with a musical.

Mum was asking about
you this morning.

Don't lie, Lou. It
doesn't suit you.

Brooklyn, we're the
kings, Phoenix Rise.

You put your cloud,
Kings, up, go.

VIDEO CONTINUES

If you're quite ready, Mr Trent.

Now, in order to
multiply our fractions,

what do we need to do with them?

I'll give you two minutes.
Discuss it in pairs.

Show me that.

That's my old school.

Were you kicked out for
crimes against fashion?

Who even wears that any more?

What are they saying?
Something about some stunt.

They want to know if we're
up for the challenge.

Well, tell them we've got better
things to do with our time.

Are you serious? Our
reputation's at stake here.

Sounds like fighting talk to me.

I'm liking this new Summer.

Someone's got to liven
things up around here.

You up for it, Bill?

What? Making a fool out
of myself to beg likes.

No, you're all right.

I guess Phoenix Rises have
arrived just in time now.

You seriously going to do it?

Who else could? They're not
going to know what's hit them.

I can't believe they're still
bothering with auditions,

we're literally right here.

SCUFFLING

I told you to get off me.

Leave my sister! Give it back!

Oh.

Miss Abel, B's trying
to nick my bag.

I ain't no thief.

Miss, she ain't no thief.

I saw B take it.

Jealousy stinks, Miss.

Or is that just a natural
fragrance. Enough.

I should have known. Where
there's B, there's trouble.

That's bang out of
order! Bang out of order!

Is there an echo in here?

Right. Listen, you'd do well
to stay away from your sister

or else you'll end
up in isolation too.

Isolation? Seriously?

Yeah. Carmen, can you please
pick this stuff up, please,

and get to your
lesson? Thank you.

You follow me, you
get to your lesson.

Come on, guys. Show's
over. Get to your lessons.

Oh, it's going to be sick.

I'm going to show him his boss.

Brooklyn's a Phoenix Rise. Oh.

Phoenix Rise, everybody, look,

yous at the back come forward,

big things happening.

Catch Brooklyn's get put
in their place, 4pm today.

Spread the word.

Get down, what if
the teacher hears?

So what if they're here?

Give them a show.

Just do a video, you doughnut.

Whatever.

We'll catch you up, yeah, as
you think this is all so bad.

Briony, Summer's asked me to
try and find people to audition

for the musical. I thought
Layla was the lead.

Yeah, I think Summer's trying
to keep her options open.

Well, do you want me
to help backstage?

Unless...

Unless what?

I thought maybe you'd
like to audition.

I can't sing, I'm sorry.

Erm, maybe you can
help me backstage then.

My parents want me to focus
on my school at this time.

But, Briony, we
need you. Please.

Briony, could you tell all
intakes that I need to see them

in the haven of happiness
at break, please.

Is everything OK, sir?

I'll stick your name down, then.

You two forget your books again,
it'll be isolation tomorrow.

Thank you very much.

OK, so we're going to go with
number one, idea conception.

Specify the idea and
minimal viable product.

That's MVP.

Can you two stop talking?

Thank you.

OK, focus. Number two.

If you want to see your boy Darcy
secure the title for Phoenix Rise,

head to the back of
the playground for four

and prepare to have your
tiny little minds blown.

Didn't we have more beanbags?

All right. Is this all of you?

Layla's not here, sir. Again.

I want to make sure you
have the support you need

to make your transition
to mainstream school

as easy as possible.

With that being said, I'd
like to introduce to you

our new behaviour
mentor, Ms Ruiz.

That's quite an introduction.

What? No way! Oh, my days!

You're going to get me
in even more trouble.

I never meant to make
it worse. Well, you did.

I like the bag. Is it real?

Where'd you get it? Prison.

I'll get one when I'm famous.

They'll send me one
so people see it.

Free advertising,
innit? Mm-hm. OK.

You could always come with me
on the red carpets or whatever.

You need to leave.

I wish you hadn't.

How's Amy? Foot in mouth, Bill.

We broke up. Again?

Can always rely on you to make
a girl feel better, Khaled.

Right, mainstream can be tricky.

So, I'll check in
with you each week.

Sort out any dramas
before you mess up.

I ain't cleaning mess.

Who's she? Becky,
an absolute legend.

Aren't there supposed
to be six of you?

Layla, she's MIA
right now. Right.

Well, go and enjoy what's
left of your break,

and I'll catch up
with each of you soon.

How you getting
on, Bill? All good.

Clean slate. Glad to hear it.

How's dad and Ree?

Yeah, well, they're
all the same.

You're not usually short
of something to say, Darcy.

We've already met, sir.

Don't worry, I've already put you
down for a cycling proficiency test.

So what actually is
this stunt, then?

Yeah, Darcy. We're all ears.

Yeah, the whole school
is talking about it.

You better not show us up.

Maybe we could challenge them
to a chess match or something.

Boring. Well, we could
just snap them back.

So, there's been a
change of plan? Yeah.

Darcy's all talk and no action.

See that building there?

For entertainment, I would jump
from that building to that one.

It's impossible.

For you, maybe. Not for the
under-16 parkour champion, it's not.

Fortune favours the
brave, Billy boy.

It's probably why you're broke.

Your funeral.

You don't have to do it.

No-one will judge you.

Well, some people might,
but they don't matter.

It's happening.

At least let me help you. How?

My dad always says fail to
prepare, prepare to fail.

What does that mean?

Meet me in the gym at lunch.
We'll work out a plan together.

What have you done?

Well, when we think of snow,
what are some of its properties?

Sorry, we had to cancel on you.

It's just really...

No drama.

I went to talk to B.
She was not happy.

Anyone?

No?

Well, it's white. It's fleeting.

Maybe we can do another time.

I'm busy with big
sister stuff, yeah?

Er, Layla. Where's the fire?

Mr Stewart wants to see me.

Well, I'm sure it can
wait till after break.

You have to talk with him.
He's the boss, isn't he?

What are you looking at?

Can't tell yet, but
it's hurting my eyes.

Argh!

Give that back!

Stop her!

Girls! Give me the bag, Layla.

You don't understand.
It wasn't hers to take.

Now. Look out.

She's out on the rob again.

I'm not a thief.

You need to give it back to B.

Mr Stewart's office. Now.

Now, Layla.

You'll have your opportunity
to explain yourself.

Then we can decide whether
you're still going to be in

the school musical. Come on.

Do that again.

You know what my dad says.

I know, I know.

Prepare and fail. Not quite.

You need to practise.
You can do it, Darcy.

Or maybe not.

Argh! It's too dangerous.

I'm not doing it
properly now, am I?

Saving my energy for... later.

Actually, erm...

The buildings are
a bit more like...

..this is a really bad idea.

What are you talking
about? I've got this.

Argh!

Another go at this one?

I really, really don't...

It's not doing
much for me either.

So...

..what brings you here?

As if they haven't told you.

I'd... rather hear it from you.

Layla's your sister, isn't
she? Don't talk about her.

Her friends said she's not
been around much lately.

I wish. She won't
leave me alone.

She misses you. You're
her big sister, B.

Her idol. Such an idol,
they packed me off to care.

Give me the worksheet.

I didn't do anything. I promise.

That's what your sister used to
say. Look how she turned out.

Boo.

What do you want?

There's something
you need to know.

And you wonder why I want
them at different schools.

This isn't B's fault.

The only reason Layla was
put in the referral unit

in the first place was to
keep her away from her sister.

And look where we are.

I appreciate it's been a difficult
few months for your family.

Do you think it was easy?

Putting my own
daughter into care?

I had to, to protect Layla.

I don't need protecting!

And yet, here we are -
history repeating itself.

I didn't steal the bag.

So what were you doing with it?

Oh... DOOR OPENS

It was me.

I made her do it.
What did I tell you?

She's lying!

I told Layla to nick it
for me. That's not true.

You were right to keep
us apart. Don't say that.

Look, do what you want to me,
but Layla's done nothing wrong.

Go back to class, Layla.

But, sir! Do as he says, yeah?

Layla.

Best stay away from home, yeah?

VIDEO PLAYS,
INAUDIBLE CONVERSATION

You could always lock
yourself in a cupboard.

You think I'm scared? I was
scared on my trip to Skegness.

Cassidy told everyone she was
going to put blue in my hair.

What did you do?

Well, I told Miss Benson.

They made me spend the whole day
on the teacups with Miss Abel.

You ratted her out?

Polly the snitch.

It's better than what
they used to call me.

Bet your head's
fried after that.

Mine is a bit.

No offence, but who are you?

Becky. Bit of a new kid too.

Bit old for a kid.

No offence.

Sassy. I like it.

I'm the behaviour mentor.

How about you tell me
what's been going on?

B says she's in care. Yeah.

Must be tough.

So what's that
like for you there?

Don't know. Rubbish.

I never get to see her any more.

Well, I don't think I can
do anything about that,

but I can tell them what
really happened with the bag

and maybe we can
get it back for her.

How's that sound?

VIDEO PLAYS

Must be the
lesser-spotted Layla.

Huh? So much for being
in this together.

Where have you been?
Family stuff, innit?

You're either with
us or you're not.

No more excuses.

She said she was
busy, didn't she?

So back off.

Since when did you
start speaking for her?

She's my best mate.

You got a problem with Layla,
you can talk to me, all right?

You can see where
she gets it from.

You better get outside.
It's almost four o'clock.

We going to watch this
disaster movie, then?

You know what? Don't even
think about it, kids.

Sorry for being
such a cow to you.

Forget it.

Your brother was even fitter
when he was telling me off.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Well, I heard Darcy got
kicked out of his last school

for stealing the Head's car.

I thought he blew
up the science club.

You know what I said
in Stewart's office...

..about you staying
away from me?

I never meant it.

Sisters. Yeah?

Oh, and Lai.

Kick off the advertising early.

Come on.

Over there! There he is.

CHEERING

Phoenix Rise.

Who's ready for a show?

CHEERING

I said, who's ready for
a show? Come on, louder!

CHEERING GETS LOUDER

But I need a count down.

ALL: Ten, nine...

Sir, come quick.

ALL: five, four,
three, two, one.

Stop! Game's over, folks.

Darcy Trenton, get down
off that roof, now!

STUDENTS GROAN AND BOO

Oh, sir.

Told ya, it's never going to happen.
How couldn't you cut him some slack?

Shame.

Brooklyn's aren't going to
let us live this one down.

Come on, everyone, get going.

Come on. Home time.

Well, our teachers
suck. They ruined it.

Yeah, THEY ruined it.

What are you saying?

It's a bit convenient,

Mr Stewart coming out of
his office when he did.

You're talking rubbish.

Are you really that desperate
for people to like you?

It's pathetic.

You think you've got
everyone fooled, don't you?

Summer.

Becky.

Mr Stewart.

I don't buy it.

Wherever it is
that you're hiding,

I'm on to you.

Do you want something to eat?

Wow, you look...

You sent the message just to me.
So I forwarded it to everyone else.

There are no other girls.

No, I got chatting to
someone the other day.

Turns out he went to
your last school, Bill.

He had a few stories to tell.
