13x07 - Episode 7

[bunniefuu]

Open this door right now. Schuey!

Sorry, sir. There's nothing
we can do. It's totally jammed.

It was Schuey Weever, and I think
Libby Guthrie played a part, too.

I want them dealt with.

I think maybe we should
think about coming clean.

What, tell the kids? That's if we're
definitely going to be together.

Enjoy yourself.

Do that and you'll soon forget
about Kelly Jo.

I told you you could do better.

Kels. Let go!

We split everything down the middle.
We? Yeah, we.

Partners in crime now, innit?

I know what you've done, Libby.
I know it is a lot to ask.

I promise I'll pay you back.
Please don't tell my dad.

Bowel cancer, stage two.

They operated to remove the tumour.

Why didn't you tell me?

We need to... Oh, my God...!

Oh, my God!

Yeah, yeah. I've got it.

I'll have it to you
by the end of the day.

Tonya!

Is your phone broke?
Oh, no. My mum took it off me.

Said I'm on it too much...

Don't lie to me, Tonya.

We're partners in crime, aren't we?
Now, what have you been nicking?

Nothing. Everyone is going on at me
and I couldn't get out.

You've not been here,
so I thought we were done.

We're done when I say so.

You need to get our stash.

I've got somebody to buy it.

We need to get it or else.

I'll text you later.

And you're going to answer me
this time.

Oi, soft lad?

You coming to this meeting
with the head or what?

It's this way, Dad.

Hey, you all right? What? Yeah.

He was just messing about.

Wanting to know the time,
so he grabbed my phone.

OK, well, if he gives you any
hassle again just let me know, yeah?

Yeah, I will.

This is so embarrassing.

Ah, well, maybe if you hadn't
gotten yourself suspended,

you'd be trusted
to make your own way in.

Let's just let her wait
here for her friends.

Fine. But no trouble.

It's a lot for her, coming back.

She's only been suspended
for five days.

Oh, have you got my lunchbox? No.

Oh! I must have left it in the car.

Can you hold my bag, please?

Watch it!
Nice bag that, there, sir.

Yeah, keep moving.

So I should come in
at the usual time then?

Yeah, OK, thanks. Bye.

They, erm, they said that I should
come in for chemo as normal.

They'll need some tests. Oh.

What tests? Er, just some bloods,
maybe an X-ray.

I'm sure it'll be fine. Yeah.

I actually don't feel that bad
this morning.

Why don't I make us
some toast and a brew?

Oh, I can't. I'm already late.

I'm sure they'll cut you some slack.

I don't want them to cut me
any slack.

I'm not the one who's ill.
No, that'd be me.

Sorry, I didn't, I didn't mean to...
No, I know.

Er, do you want me to stay?
No, I don't.

No, I don't need you to. OK.
Go. All right.

Erm, well...

..just give me a call
if you need anything.

Yeah. See you later. Bye.

And we will be welcoming back

Libby Guthrie and Schuey Weever
following their suspensions.

Yes. It's looking like Schuey
will go straight to the BU,

and Libby will be back in class.

So, if there's any issues
just let us know.

And keep your store cupboards
locked.

Is Matt doing OK?

He's still off sick.

Is that everything, yeah?
Yep, think so.

Is Kim OK? Yeah, yeah. She's fine.

She's just running late.

BELL RINGS

Right, thanks everyone.
Go and change some lives,

or some other feel-good mantra.

Thank you.

Coral, can I just ask...?
I'm sorry, Neil.

I need to get to registration.
I'll see you later.

Problem?

Coral's.

Look, I'm not going to have
a conversation with you

about your sex life, Neil.
Yeah, I wouldn't want that either.

Just don't know what to do.

Well, you should probably check
she's OK.

Right. Yes.

And say what?
Well, she's YOUR girlfriend!

Remind her that she can talk to you,

and remind her that
your relationship is a safe space.

Or whatever you feel is appropriate.

Just, regardless,
you must talk to her.

Look who's back. Yeah, I thought
I could smell desperation.

Isn't that insulting your boyfriend?
Oh! Oh, well.

He's not my boyfriend,
and you need to watch your back.

Not here, Kels.

Just stay out my way,
or there'll be trouble, all right?

Reckon I did you a favour. You what?
Well, you couldn't keep him.

At least now you know.

Come on. We're late.

I'm fine. OK.

You're not helping the situation,
fanning the flames.

She started it.
You could have ignored her.

Look, Libby,

I agreed to keep quiet
about everything,

because you convinced me
you learnt your lesson.

I have, Coral. I promise.

Well, seeing you provoke
Kelly Jo like that

certainly doesn't feel like it.
She just winds me up.

I shouldn't let it get to me,
but it does.

I just guess I didn't realise
how bad I still feel about it all.

We've all made mistakes
we'd rather forget.

Just please promise me
I have done the right thing.

Yeah, you have. I promise.

I'm going nowhere near Dean
or alcohol again.

And I'll pay you back
that charity money.

I'm already
looking for a part-time job.

I'm just really happy you were
there to help me.

I think my dad would be, too.

I think that's why he loves you.

Thank you.
Anyway, let that be the end of it.

BELL RINGS

Well, doesn't this
look professional?

Hey! I'm really getting into
these life skill lessons, you know.

Yeah? Does that mean
I have to call you Mr Charles?

You can call me whatever you like.

I just can't believe
I'm teaching now.

I used to be, like,
the worst kid at school.

Ah, well you see, that's
a toxic trait of mine, you know,

because I love a bad boy.

Oh, yeah? Is that right? Mm-hm.

Hey, what are you doing tonight?
I promised Izzy that I'd cook.

Thought I could do enough
for all of us.

You can cook? Of course I can!

What sort of question is that?

I'll have you know that my
chicken fajitas are legendary.

Mm. Yeah, just enough spice.

OK, then. Well, why don't we tell
the kids when we're all together?

About us?

Yeah. Yeah, all right.
Sounds like a plan.

OK. I'll see you later.

Mr Weever's been keeping me
entertained.

What time do you call this?

Er, just give me two minutes,
please, Mr Weever.

Oh, yeah, because I've got all day.

Mr King and Mr Casey
are in your office. Thank you.

And thank you.

I see where Schuey gets it from.
Yeah.

Er, right, how did the staff
briefing go? Yeah, all good.

How is Andrew? Yeah, yeah. He's OK.
And you? I'm fine.

Is that the behaviour contract?
Yeah, he'll be in there

until the end of term,
and then we'll review. OK.

What?
It's just a bit harsh isn't it?

I mean, Libby's back in class
and we're choosing the BU

for a first offence? But it's not
his first offence though, is it?

It's just the first thing
he's been caught for. Yeah.

What about his general
classroom behaviour?

I'm just worried about
what message it sends.

I think it's precisely the message
we need to send.

Are we doing this or not? Mr Weever!

OK, I'll leave you to it.

Right, can I just...? Thanks.

OK, do you want to take a seat
at the table? Thank you.

Schuey? Want to come on through?

The point of these sessions

is to figure out maybe
what you might like to do

once you finish with us next year.

So, I'm going to go round

and if you've got a question
just shout out.

What's all that about? My plan.
So, I've got six unis on my list.

Some are better for courses
and placements.

Are you serious? Yeah.

What about you?
Whoa! Caz, you've been busy.

Are you still sticking with
environmental law?

Oh, Miss, don't get her started.
You know what she's like.

How else are we going to save
the rain forests, Miss?

How else? What about you, Kai?

I'll probably just get a job,
stay close to home.

Oh, right.
Gosh, no, I'm surprised by that.

So you're not going anywhere
because of Preston?

No. I'm happy here.

I've got everything I need.

Why would I go anywhere else?

Schuey is going to be spending
the rest of the term

in the behavioural unit.

Yeah, as long as I don't
have to have him at home,

you can put him wherever.
This is serious, Mr Weever.

The next step is permanent
exclusion. I haven't done anything.

You keep your mouth shut.

Right, so if you could both
read the contract,

and then once you're happy
you can sign on the next page.

Pen?

Sign that. And I don't want any
more phone calls from this place,

do you understand me?
Right, are we done? No, we're not.

I wanted to take you over
to the behavioural unit

so that you could...
Yeah, I'm a busy man.

You know how it is.

SHE SPEAKS FRENCH

Why are you still doing
that stupid voice?

I'm speaking French.
No, you're speaking stupid.

Tonya, can we just swap partners?
That's rude, that.

Schuey's just messaged.
He's been sent to the BU.

He said to tell you to get the stuff
and meet him after school.

OK.

What's that about? Nothing.

BELL RINGS

Where you going? Toilet.

Mr Guthrie wants two pages.
Front and back.

Miss Chambers?

Bag searches are held at random.

Mobile phones go in this box.

I haven't got my phone.
Er, Schuey, not in the mood. Phone.

We work in silence
unless it's group work.

That is your desk.

Is there no car maintenance
on today?

Life skills lessons are a privilege.

You've lost them. This is a joke.

This is a proper joke!

I haven't done anything.

We've been through this. All right?
I'm not wasting any more time on it.

Er, thank you.

I'm sorry.

Accident. Yeah.
It always is with you, isn't it?

Even the slightest problem,
you let me know, OK? Will do.

Can you be trusted with a pen
or shall I get you some crayons?

Er, Kai?

Kai, Kai - have you got a minute?

Erm...yeah. Yeah, OK.

Just what you were saying in class
this morning really got me thinking.

What did I say? Oh, just about

having everything
that you need here.

Well, yeah, it's true. But if you
don't know what's out there,

how do you know there isn't, say,
some other place

that you would rather be?
Miss, I have a TV.

I know there's other cities
in the world. I'm OK. Yeah, OK.

I was, erm, I was reading
about this placement scheme

in my teacher's supplement
and the government fund pupils

to explore other options.

Mm-hm. Basically you get to go and
study for a term in another country,

anywhere in Europe. It's perfect.

Do they pay for it? Yeah,
you get accommodation and expenses.

Just have a read.

Look, there's nothing wrong
with wanting to stay here.

Of course not. But...

..you don't have to settle.

CHATTER

Right. You all right, sir?
Yes, very well. Right, take a seat.

Morning, sir. Good morning. Morning.

Kelly Jo, morning.

Put your phone down please,
Kelly Jo. Thank you.

Dean's texted me again.

I just want to launch my phone
through the window.

Guys, be quiet, please.
Just ignore it. Yeah, I am.

Right, today, we're going to be
talking about electricity in the...

..in the home. Yeah.

OK, right, we're not going to
need anything but yourselves,

so, please, bags out the way.

I'm like Bob the Builder, like...

Kelly Jo...

Please put the screwdriver down,
yeah?

Keep your hands to yourself.
Thank you.

Hands free, hands free. Right. Er...

Hey, look at this lot.

Chin up, man. We've all been dumped.

You've never even had a bird.

No, you don't need that much fruit.

I said a handful of each, didn't I?

LOUD CHATTER

Kelly Jo, please put the fuses down.
They're not meant...

OTHERS GROAN

HE SIGHS

OK, all right. Funny.

All right, the show's ov...

CAMERA CLICKS

Guys, come on, help me out here.

LOUD CHATTER

OK, t-tell you what.

Who wants to win a tenner?

Seriously? Yeah.

Yeah, that's right. Er...

First one to wire a plug correctly,
OK, wins £10.

Come on, go faster.

I'm going as fast as I can.

Look how crammed this is.

I swear she said half full.

So I've sent you all of those
attendance reports,

so can you just do all that
magic with the pie charts?

Let's plug it in.

Er, hang on.

No-one tries anything until
I've checked it first, all right?

Gotta get your vitamins in, man.

Are you still here?

Er, yeah. No, nearly...nearly gone.

Any problems, just give me
a call and I will...

Whoa, that wasn't me.

All right, everyone,
just calm down, all right?

WHIRRING SLOWS

Get some kitchen roll or something.

What the...?!

I think the lid come off it.
It's faulty.

SHE SIGHS

Right, don't touch anything, OK?

The lights are off up here as well.
OK, so it's school-wide.

Hey, I'm not too sure
but I think this could be my fault.

Yeah, we were wiring some plugs
and Kelly Jo was messing around.

Well, no, hang on.
It could be my fault.

We were just making smoothies and...

Miss, can I get my
PE kit to change into?

Not right now, Noel.

THEY CHUCKLE

I'm not finding this funny.

Well, Kim, come on. This place
is literally on its last legs.

It could have been anything.
Hey, don't you have to be somewhere?

Er, no, I can't leave you with this.

No, it's probably just a tripped
switch, right? I'll take a look.

Yeah, we can sort it.

Really? Joe's right.
We've got it covered.

OK. Well, I'm going to go get my bag

and if you need me,
I'll be on my mobile.

We are like Batman and Robin,
me and him. We're going to be fine.

Oh, my gosh,
if I come back to school

and either of you are in tights...

We're... We're fine. It'll be fine.

Thank you.

Hey, do you think
the staffroom's out?

I could m*rder a coffee.

I'm going to check.

It looks like the power's out
in the whole building,

so everyone on an early break
while I see what I can sort,

but I want you all back
as soon as the bell goes.

Do you understand?

Go on, then.

Urgency, people. Come on.

CLICKING AND WHIRRING

Oh! Let there be light.

Don't get too excited, mate.

Need to see what's
come on and what's not.

So it's not fixed?
Well, no, not yet.

We need a specialist electrician,
mate, for the rest of it.

Hey, look, I've done what I can,
but this board is ancient.

Hmm. Hey, look, Joe,
before you go, mate...

Two bags full of gear.
Looks all brand-new to me.

Ooh, someone's been making
the most of a five-finger discount.

Ah, right, well, get that
to Kim's office

so we can see
what we're dealing with.

I'll call Mike and I'll
get the police on it. Thank you.

The police?

Yeah, found all this stolen gear.

Someone's going to be in trouble.

Hold on, shouldn't you be in class?

They sent us all on an early break.

Ah, OK.

Have you done something
different with your hair?

No.

I, erm...washed it.

THEY CHUCKLE

Erm, Coral...

..I-I want to talk to
you about something. OK.

Erm...

I just, erm...

We-we need to feel like we
can be honest with each other.

Mm-hm. That this is our...safe...

Erm...

You know, doodah. Space.

You been talking to Amy again?

I...I found something this morning.

I wasn't prying.

It... It was an accident.

I just want you to know that you
could come to me for support.

Me?

Well, if it's not yours...

A pupil.

Why was it in your bag?
I must have kept it.

What pupil? Just forget about it.

Was it Libby's?

Please don't say anything to her.

She just wanted a bit of support.

Someone to go with.

You took my daughter to get
the morning-after pill?

You didn't tell me?

I didn't take her.
She could go on her own.

But I did talk to her about it

and what she could do in the
future to...protect herself.

She could not have sex for a start!

Oh, come off it, Neil.
You've been a teacher long enough.

But I'm not her teacher, am I?
I'm her dad!

Well, I thought that
you'd be pleased I'd helped!

You have no right
to parent my child.

Hey.

Why are you avoiding me?
You don't need to be weird.

What part of "leave me alone"
are you not getting?

I know we hooked up,
but it was a one-off.

It's not a big deal.
Yeah, you're right.

It were a one-off.

So, we can still be mates?

Why would we do that?

Cos we get on. We have a laugh.
Get each other.

No, we don't.

Look, you were just there, Libby.

Right.

And what we did...

..I just want to forget
it ever happened.

I need to get Kelly Jo back.

Tonya.

I thought you were in the BU?

Oh, you got my message
from Portia, then?

Yeah, well, I tried to get the
stuff, but the power went out and...

All right, let's go get it now.
No, no, no, we can't.

Izzy's dad found it and now
the police are involved.

I'm getting £400 for that.

Yeah, I know.

So, you are either going
to go and get that stuff

or you are going to get me my money.

How am I meant to do that?

It's not my problem. BELL RINGS

Tonya.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Schuey, you need to be
back in the BU.

I lost track of time.

Well, maybe tomorrow you should stay
inside so you don't get confused.

What did he want?

Nothing. Just leave it, Izzy.

Where are you going?
I need to get out of here.

Ms Spratt has mentioned a potential
placement... Preston! Preston!

I'm worried about Tonya. What?

Schuey's just had a massive go at
her and she's just left school.

Do you want me to tell Nicky?

Er, no. No, no.

No, it's all right.
I'll sort it, yeah? OK.

OK, I guess we can put
this up another time.

Yeah, I need to go and find Tonya.

We'll talk later, yeah?

tr*mp.

LAUGHTER

We need to have a talk after class.

Coral told me what happened.

OK, so I moved Amy out
of the drama studio,

Val has brought the BU
students back inside

and Wendy said she's
found an electrician.

What are you doing?

Looking for a new phone.

I'm joking. Joking.

You know you're getting your
prints all over that, right?

It's not CSI, it's kids
and a load of stolen gear.

How about we just...

Ah! How about we just
leave it for Mike?

Yes, all right.

Right, well, shall I call Kim

and tell her the electrics
are sorted at least?

But they're not, are they?

I know, but it's only the BU,
the red canteen and the kitchen.

Everything else is on.

She said she wanted an update,
that's all I'm saying.

And when it's sorted, we will.

OK.

Oh, hey, hey, hey. Wait there.

That'd suit you, that.

SHE SIGHS

BELL RINGS

£2.50, please.

Thank you, bye. See you.

PHONE RINGS

Hiya, mate.

Yeah, thanks for returning my call.

What the hell are you doing?!

Tonya!

Tonya! Tonya!

How stupid are you?

Right, you're banned from there.

How did you find me?

HE SIGHS

I used that app.

That's for emergencies,
not stalking.

Yeah, and Izzy was worried.

Izzy needs to learn
to keep her gob shut.

This is stupid, Tonya.

Are you still robbing? I had to.

What do you mean?

SHE SIGHS Forget it. I was bored.

Right, well, you're lying.

Is someone making you do this?

No.

Is it Schuey?
Is that what he wanted?

Just leave it, Preston.

What's he said to you?

You know, I'm not dropping it,
so you might as well tell me.

He didn't make me steal.

I wanted to at first,
but I thought it had stopped.

Then he came back today
and he wanted the stuff,

but Donte had found it and he's
saying I get him his cash

or, I don't know,
he's going to batter me.

You can't keep robbing for him,
Tonya.

Right? You'll get caught.

I won't. I know how to do it now.

No-one notices me,
just like at home.

What are you on about?

Everyone thinks I'm upstairs
or I'm watching telly...

..when, actually, I've gone out.

And when I get back in,
no-one asks where I've been.

That's not true. It is.

You, Izzy - everyone notices
when you're not there.

Do you really think that?

It's just how it is.

I'm not bothered. It means I can
do what I want and no-one cares.

But I care.

I care about you...

..so much.

Right, come on.

Let's get back to school before
Mum finds out you're gone.

Did you not hear me?
Schuey, he'll batter me.

I'm your big brother, Tonya.

Right? You leave
Schuey Weever to me.

Yeah?

Thanks, Preston.

Don't even think about hugging me.

As if I was going to! Yeah, OK.

Oh, shut up! Go on. Yeah.

SIREN WAILS

HE SIGHS

How long does it take to check
an X-ray and some bloods?

That's the third time you've
checked your phone in ten minutes.

Sorry. No, I just meant you
can call them if you want to.

I don't want to.

Andrew Treneman.

HE SIGHS

Won't be long.

Kim, call Joe.

Put your mind at rest.

PHONE RINGS

Hello.

Joe. Kim, what's up?

Nothing. I just wanted an update.

OK. Yeah, sure. Erm...

Well, the electricity was
trickier than we thought.

Really? Yeah, yeah,
but it's back on now.

Mostly. "Mostly"?

Yeah, it's just the BU,
the kitchen and the red canteen.

OK, anything else?

Er, yeah, there's an
electrician on the way

and I'm just waiting for Mike
to sort the stolen goods.

What? No, no. Er...

No, Donte found them.

Yeah, but Mike is dealing with it,
and, yeah, nothing to worry about,

we've got it under control,
but I've got to go now, OK?

Bye, bye-bye.

She rang me. Sure.

Yeah. Guess what? What?

Electrician's cancelled. What?!

Flat battery. I mean...

OK, do you have any other numbers?

I've tried everyone.

The LEA have obviously been a bit
flaky cos that's what happens

when you leave them
and become an academy.

Oh, and Nicky said the stock in the
freezer won't last much longer

without power and all the rest
of the freezers are full, so...

Well, we can't scrap
a load of food, can we?

I've just told Kim that we've
got everything under control.

OK, maybe we can get in touch with
the trust. Maybe they can help.

Can we do that, yeah?
Well, do you want to tell Kim

you can't fix the problem?
No, no, no.

Oh...

Come on.

Off.

No chemo for me today.

OK, well, it's only one session.

For now.

What happens if it's
the same next week?

It won't be. This is ridiculous.

Something as mundane as a cold
can stop you having treatment.

Come on.
Let me drop you off at home.

I just need to clear my head.

SHE SIGHS

BELL RINGS

HE SIGHS

I know it's not easy,
talking about things like this...

..with me...

..but Coral told me that you were...

..that you'd had...

Well, you know.

You could have come to me, you know?

I was scared you were going
to send me back to Mum's.

Libby, Libby!

We all make mistakes.

I know. It was so stupid.

But this'll only work if you...

Well, if you're honest with me,

because only then
can I keep you safe.

Now, I don't need
all the details, but...

It was with Dean Weever in
a cupboard in the staffroom.

HE BREATHES DEEPLY
Oh...

Ha! Mmm. Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.

Ngh... That's probably more
details than I needed.

Oh, Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean,
Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean,

Dean, Dean.

HE SIGHS

Did you use any protection?

Dad!

I've got a good mind to have
a word with Dean about that.

No, you can't.
This is why I didn't tell you.

It's not just about...

It's not just about
getting pregnant.

You can catch all kinds of things.

Well, that's why I went to Coral
to ask her what to do.

I thought if you can trust her,
then so can I.

HE SIGHS

And was Coral helpful?

Yeah. She was really nice about it,
so please don't be mad at her

cos it wasn't her fault.

Coral can fight her own battles.

I know, but I like having her around

and I wouldn't want to
ruin that for you two.

You haven't.

But from now on...

..talk to me.

OK. Promise.

Thanks, Dad.

Oi.

Tonya send you instead?

Yeah.

Stay away from my sister.

When she gives me what she owes me.

She doesn't owe you anything, right?

And if you go near her again -

if you go near her again -

I'll call the police.

Tell them you've been robbing.

And drop Tonya in it?
You think I'm dumb?

She did all the lifting.

If anyone is on CCTV, mate,
it's your sister.

You're lying.

And she's got previous, so try it.

Try it.

Try me.

Watch what happens!

All right, you'll get your stuff,
so leave Tonya alone.

By the end of the day.

Do you mind if we...?

No, of course not.

I had a good chat with Libby,
cleared things up.

I'm sorry, Neil.

I should have told you
as soon as she said.

No, no, no, no. Look...

We're still trying to navigate
this whole situation, aren't we?

And I probably overreacted earlier.

It's good that she had
someone to talk to.

I just want to move on from it all.
Me too.

And let's agree, no more
secrets between you two, OK?

Anything she tells you,

you just...you just let me know.
Hmm?

Mm-hm.

Ah, just the person I wanted to see.

So, do you want to fill me in
on what I've missed?

Yeah, about that...
Ah, so you've fixed it, then.

You're a star.

Yeah, I owe you a pint.

OK, bye.

Ah, sorry about that.

That was the electrician.

Apparently it was a wire pulled
loose in the cupboard

that blew the whole circuit board.

Right. Does someone want to
tell me what is going on?

The electrician that we found,
his, erm...battery was...flat.

So the trust came to the rescue.

Seriously, though, we have a long
list of approved contractors

that work with our academies.

We throw a lot of business their
way, so they're quicker than most.

Quite the hero, then.

You didn't need to come all
the way in, though, did you?

No problem.

And these things are
better in person.

Besides, since we technically own
the building,

I wanted to see if it was
still standing.

Ah, Libby.

I'm sorry your dad found out.

Are we...OK?

Yeah, of course we are.

I get why you told him,
so I got him to make up with you.

Good.

I think we shouldn't keep
anything else from him.

OK. So...we should...

..tell him about the money.

What? The money you took
from Chlo's charity.

Why would he need
to know about that?

Because it's the right thing to do.

Are you trying to ruin my life?
Of course I'm not.

He doesn't know anything about that.

You sorted it and I told you
I'd pay you back eventually.

But we shouldn't have
kept it from your dad.

These things have a habit
of coming out, like today.

Because you were stupid
enough to keep the leaflet.

I wanted to make sure you were OK.

As the adult... Don't patronise me.

Who cares about money
for a stupid charity?

It's not stupid.

Well, if you tell my dad, he will
send me back to New Zealand.

I know it. He won't.

How can you say that?
I can't lie to your dad again.

Get over yourself, Coral.
Everyone lies.

Not me. Not any more.

I'm going to put this
straight right now.

Look, you can't do this to me!

Coral!

SHE SCREAMS

Libby!

Call an ambulance!

Keep her away from me.
She pushed me!

Well, thank you for popping by.

Well, I only wish I could stay
so we could have a proper catch-up.

How is Andrew, by the way?

He's fine. Hmm.

You let me know that there's
no rush for him to come back.

You know, I'm happy to
keep things ticking over,

so he can take as long as he needs.

Just send him my love, yeah?

Ah, thank you, Serena.

Serena Michelle, thank you.

WHISPERS: Serena Michelle.

Right, where's all the stolen stuff?

PHONE RINGS Oh, yeah, it's, we've...

Hi, Amy. What's up?

What's happened?

Look, it doesn't matter
what happened.

We can sort that out later.

Oh! The important thing is
to make sure you're OK.

How's she doing? They want to
take her in for observation.

How is she? I need to see her.
Not now, Coral.

She's being looked after.

I think it's best that you go
home for the rest of the day.

I didn't actually push her, Kim!
Surely you must know that!

Coral, this is not
the time or the place.

As you know, there is a procedure.

But there's been a misunderstanding.

Libby, Libby, just tell them! Coral!

You can't be here.

You're suspended until
we've looked into it properly.

Now, go.

What you doing?

What are you doing in here?

Er...

It's mine.

What? I stole it.

Well, that makes absolutely
no sense, Preston.

What has to make sense?
It's mine, I robbed it.

Why? What do you mean?

I mean, this isn't you, Preston.

You don't know I couldn't do
something like this. What? Come on.

You don't know the first thing about
me. What are you talking about?

You didn't even know I had bulimia
until I collapsed, right?

You think you know everyone in
this school, but you don't, yeah?

You only care about the kids
that cause you problems.

That is not fair.

And the ones that
don't do anything wrong,

it's like they don't
even exist to you!

I want to help every single
kid in this school!

God, you have got no idea, have you?

I leave this school every
single day and I am exhausted

because I worry about the future
of every single one of them.

You have been given a second chance
after you had a heart attack.

You could have died. I know, I know.

I have got a partner at home
who has got cancer

and he might not get
a second chance!

How is that my fault?!

I know it's not your fault!

but you are throwing your
life away for...for...

..for a jumper?!

For a...

What are you doing?!

What are YOU doing?!

Get away from him, now!

SHE BREATHES SHAKILY

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Are you OK?

Yeah. Yeah.

Just leave it, Mum. No, I won't.

HE SIGHS

What the hell was that?
What do you think you're doing?

I know, I know.

No, he is a child.

You cannot treat him like that.

I know, Nicky.

I shouldn't have done it, but...

..you need to speak to Preston about
all that stuff that he has stolen.

Stuff that he's stolen?
Yeah, yeah. He's just told me.

It's up to the police, now. Kim!

SHE SIGHS

Right, you. You'd better tell me
right now what is going on.

LAUGHTER AND CHATTER

Hey, guess who I am!

Get up, man. Go on, guess.

Wait, wait, wait. This...

"Ah, please! My back!"

Noel, just leave it, yeah?

What? I'm Libby, innit?

OK, that's enough.

All right.

Hey, bet you wish you were the one
that pushed her down the stairs

and not Miss Walker!

Hey. No-one pushed anyone.

That is what's going round school.

I think it's karma.

Always gets you in the end.

But if I was to push somebody down
the stairs...

..it'd probably be you.

Oops.

BELL RINGS

Ouch indeed.

AMY KNOCKS

I thought you were going home.

I am. I...

I don't, er...

I don't know what I'm doing.

Why would she say it?

I could lose my job.

Oh, I'm sure it won't come to that.

I've been suspended.

Yeah, just while they
do an investigation.

She was in shock.

I'm... I'm sure
she'll have told Neil

everything that happened by now.

He can clear this all up.

If he even believes me.

Of course he will.

People know you are a good teacher.

But I've got form.

I lied about Chlo's accident.

When I saw Libby lying there,
it brought it all back.

Don't, don't.

Don't do that to yourself.

You did not cause Chlo's death
and you did not push Libby.

I think...

I think you should speak to Neil.

Go to the hospital,
find out what's happening.

You think I should? Yeah.

Take Libby some chocolates
or some magazines or something.

You can clear all of this up.

Yeah...

Yeah, you're right.

Thank you, Amy.

It's all right.

Thank you.

BELL RINGS

I just heard your mum
and Miss Campbell

having a right row about Preston.

No, you never. Yeah.

She knows all about the
stuff Preston stole.

I don't know. I think they're
going to call the police.

Sounds like he's in
a lot of trouble.

What do you think that's about?

It's nothing to do with you.

Just cos we share the same house

doesn't mean we're a
weird family, right?

He isn't your brother.

Nicky. Oh, not now, Kim. Please.

Look, I get that you
don't want to talk to me,

but I just need to tell you,

I am so sorry how...

What I did was totally unacceptable

and you are well within your
rights to go to the trust

and I will...I'll put up my hand.

Look, I lost control.

What am I doing wrong?

Nothing.

Maybe I'm not firm enough.

Maybe I don't care enough.

Nobody's blaming you.
Well, maybe they should.

I just don't know
what to do any more.

I don't know how to
make this better.

Well, you're...

..asking the wrong person.

It's like no matter
what I do, I'm wrong.

Tell me about it.

You're not sleeping.

It's the eyes.

Mine are a dead giveaway an' all.

Is it Andrew?

Must be so worrying.

I can't take any more sympathy,
Nicky.

I get that.

I mean, I know it's not the same,

but when I was really struggling, I
hated it when anyone was nice to me.

Yeah.

Or everyone telling you that
it's all going to be OK.

Yeah, that as well.

I'll tell you what did help, though.

Being honest with myself.

I used to pretend to
everyone that I was OK.

Said it so many times I actually
started to believe it myself.

NICKY SIGHS

And then, one night,
I just sat there on my own...

..and I just said it out loud.

That thing, that one thing
that I was most afraid of.

That I was totally on my own.

Didn't change anything.

It was something about
saying it just, just...

..helped.

I'm not going to report you, Kim,
for what you did to Preston

and he won't want to either.

You don't have to do that.

I was wrong. Yeah, I know.

But you've given me more second
chances than anyone I know

and I think you deserve the same.

And...if you ever want to chat...

Same.

Why aren't you in class?

Mum, I've done something really bad.

It wasn't meant to go this far.

What wasn't?

Preston said he'd sort it, but
Shola said you've called the police.

He hasn't done anything wrong.

Tonya, what are you trying to say?

I'm really sorry, Mum...

..but I was the one that stole
all that stuff, not Preston.

Don't let him get in trouble for me.

So, are you thinking about applying?

Yeah, maybe.

I don't know.

I was hoping to speak
to Preston about it,

but he's got other
things on his mind.

Well, I'm happy to talk about it.

It's pretty amazing.

Yeah, I've got to admit I was pretty
jealous when I read the criteria.

It's just, it's far.

Berlin.

Oh, is that where you'd choose?

There's an art college there.

But?

Preston.

He's only just overcome
his eating disorder.

You know, you're not Preston's
only source of support.

Nor should you be.

I keep thinking about Danny.

How he would have wanted me
to just go for it.

Maybe that's not just Danny.

Maybe that's that little voice
in your head that's telling you

what you really want.

It just feels selfish.

Sometimes you've got to be selfish.

You can still be there for everyone,

but you've got to show up
for yourself too.

Miss.

If I do apply, can you help me
with my application?

Any time.

Er, just not now.

Well, I am going to have to take you
down to the police station, Tonya,

and we will have to do
a formal interview.

And what about Schuey?
She said there were two of them.

I'll be dealing with him separately,
but he has left the premises.

Ha! Done a runner, more like.

Well, he won't be getting far.

He's still going to batter me
when he catches me.

Not if I catch him first.

Can we just keep the focus
on Tonya, please? Thank you.

Will I go to prison?

Well, that will be up to
the youth offending team...

..but it's likely that it'll
be a conditional caution

and that will go on your record.

Why don't I get the car and
I'll meet you both out front?

I don't believe this is happening.

Mum... Did you seriously think that
you could take the blame for her?

I am sure that he thought he
was doing the right thing. We...

We all make mistakes in the moment.

Live to regret it.

You did the right thing, though,
Tonya, telling the truth,

so, thank you.

I'll get my bag.

Preston, can I...? Erm...

I just wanted to say how
very, very sorry I am

about my behaviour earlier.

It was completely out of order.

It's all right, Miss.

Let's just forget about it.

The doctor says you need to stay
in overnight,

but that's just for a precaution,

and hopefully we'll have the results
of the X-rays back soon.

What is she doing here?

Did you ask her to come?

Dad, I really don't want to see her.

All right, let me deal with this.

This place is like a maze.
It took me ages to find you.

What are you doing here?

I brought some bits for Libby.

Didn't know if she'd need pyjamas.

You can't be here.

It's not true.

What she said,
she has to take it back.

You should go.
But I didn't push her.

Just let me talk to her,
make her see sense.

You are going nowhere near her.

You believe her?

She's my little girl, Coral.

You can't ask me to choose.

If she doesn't tell the truth,
Neil, I could lose everything.

Just let me talk to her.

No, you-you...you need to leave.

Neil, please. Please.
Just don't make this any worse.

Stop walking so slow. I'm freezing.

I'm not.

You can go on.

What are they doing here?

I think I know.

Dad's not going to be happy.

Nick. I'm sorry, darling.

I just heard. Is there anything
I can do to help?

SHE SNIFFS What's happening?

Er...

They're taking me and Tonya to the
station so she can make a statement.

Ah...

Hey, it's going to be OK,
all right? I'm here.

I'll go home,
I'll put the tea on and...

Yeah, I know that we said that we
were going to be all together

tonight, tell the kids, but...

No, no, no, I didn't mean that.

Look, you concentrate
on what you need to do,

make sure Tonya's OK and
I'll put your tea in the oven.

Thank you.

# I don't find it easy

# To look on the bright side

# I'm tired and wheezing

# Been running for miles and I know

# That there's a hole

# Take no notice, take no

# Well, I've been roaming around

# Gravity down, energy low

# What a way to exist

# But you've been polite
ignoring this hole

# You said slow down and I said no

# You said don't burn
both ends of the candle

# I can't hide... #

Hey.

SHE LAUGHS

What are you wearing?

It's all I could find.

I thought I'd cook.

Apology curry OK?

Yeah, curry's great.

Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong?

Oh, sorry.

I can't do this.

We don't have to have a curry.

No, I can't...

I can't lose you.

SHE SOBS

Today, when they told me
that I couldn't have treatment...

..I wanted to scream.

Honestly, I'm petrified too.

I'm sorry.

No, I shouldn't...
I shouldn't be putting this on you.

Look, can we make a pact that we
never apologise for being honest?

Even if it's not always nice.

Everyone keeps...

Everyone keeps telling me that
it's going to be OK

and that...that we're going to get
through this, but...

..they said that about...
about Dexter and I...

SHE SNIFFS

..I-I can't...
I can't hurt like that again.

I know that I said that
I could handle all of this...

..but I don't...I don't think I can.

And I know that's really selfish...

I don't think that's selfish.

I just think it shows
how much you love me.

I don't know how this
is going to end, Kim.

And I need to be OK with that.

No, I know. I know, I know.

But...

I don't...I don't think I can...
do all that again,

where I'm smiling when it
when it hurts so much.

Then don't. Not for me.

I'm not Dexter.

I'm big enough to shoulder this.

I'm not asking you
to be brave for me.

I'm asking you to live with me
in the uncertainty...

..for however long we've got.
