ORGAN MUSIC AND HUMMING

BEEP

Sir, I have Carol on line one.

BEEP

She says it's urgent.

Oh, for flip's sake.

Now is not convenient, Tiffany.

That woman will not ruin this day.

What the f*ck is going on in

this backwards place, man?

Did you not even open your handbook?

It's, like, the most anticipated

event of the year.

Ooh, is the Duke of Edinburgh

coming?

You're an idiot, you know.

Bro, this is some Midsommar,

like, Wicker Man-type sh*t.

Proper human sacrifice and all that.

Why have you always got

so much to say? Come on.

ORGAN MUSIC

Erm Whose mixtape is this?

What the hell is he wearing?

I don't know.

It's kind of working, though.

Carruthers Challenge commence!

CHEERING

Yeah, they're going to k*ll us.

Did you drug me or something?

Er, no.

You had shrooms, remember?

Wait, did we fall asleep together?

Oh, I swear to God, if you say

anything to anyone about this,

I'll nail your ba*ls to the

notice board. Of course not, Rupert.

Rupert. I just know you

want to slip one in

and I can't be giving you

such easy access, can I?

You wish. Like I'd want

to touch your arsehole

when I know your bathroom routine.

Well, come on, spray up.

It's Carruthers Day.

Come on, we're going to be late.

For generations, Carruthers

Challenge has showcased the very

best of the future

leaders of this country,

who hail from our

very own St Gilbert's.

They show us their endurance,

their grit, their selflessness.

Nice of you to join us, lover boys.

LAUGHTER

I will deal with both of you later,

just as Lord Carruthers did

when he sacrificed his left foot

to win the Battle of Coventry.

His foot? So, every single

winner of the Carruthers Challenge

goes on to achieve a reputation

at St Gilbert's that goes on

way past their graduation.

Because this is more than a

competition.

This is a legacy.

This could be the making of you.

So, I encourage as many of you

sixth formers as possible to take

part and let us see what

you are really made of.

Mrs Goodlow.

For those who are brave

enough to compete,

today will push you to your limits,

physically and mentally.

You'll have to overcome

not just your opponents,

not just your team-mates,

but yourselves.

The rules are simple.

In teams of three, find the Pip,

retrieve the ceremonial boot,

and cross the line unscathed.

If at any point you are hit,

you drop your weapon

and you can only play defence.

You may be a team,

but there can only be one winner.

And how you decide who crosses

the line with the boot

is none of my concern. Clear?

ALL: Clear!

What is a Pip?

A ceremonial what?

Good luck.

And to the victor

..go the spoils!

CHEERING

Oi!

Are you two still sulking?

You guys still haven't

told me about the party.

I'm so gutted I missed it.

God, I love shrooms.

Bet it was stupid fun.

It was fine. Fine.

I hear you hooked up with

Toby again, Abs.

Did you know about this, Flo?

Hm-mm.

Well, anyway, I came up with

a new team name for us.

It's FAB - it's Florence, Abby,

Beatrix.

God knows how I came up with it,

but I really love it.

We will get the boot this year.

A whole day with zero classes

and you still want to

do some organised sh*t.

It will be fun!

I bet you're up for it, Flo.

Babe, I'm broken.

Then we'll help you, won't we, Abs?

I think that's the least

that you can do.

Anyway, I have already signed us up,

so there is that.

No, you have f*cking not!

You've done what?

Oh, come on, ladies.

The three of us, together again.

We will be unstoppable.

Come on!

Why are you so happy? Ugh.

Felix is defending his crown.

These are all of the different

winners of the Carruthers Challenge.

It looks about white.

It looks a little male-only too.

Look, we've got to get me

across the line with that boot.

"We"? Yeah.

Uh Are you speaking French?

Cos "we" ain't got to do anything,

all right?

Listen, I'm done dealing with this

higgidy-haggedy system.

Higgidy-haggedy? Yes.

All right, you know

this sh*t ain't for us.

A Pip and some dusty old boot

somebody cut some of his foot off?

No, he didn't cut his

foot off for the boot.

It was the boot he was wearing

when he cut his foot off.

As in the m*therf*cker in

the cotton-picking painting.

As in the founder of this school.

Yo, Jaheim, focus.

Jaheim!

Look, I'm going to be honest

with you right now -

I don't care, all right?

Of course you don't.

Jaheim. Jaheim, wait!

Look, all right, any time

I involve myself with this place

or anybody in it, it blows

up in my face, all right?

I'm not giving any of myself to

this school no more. I'm done.

I'm keeping my head down.

But the prestige.

Imagine one of our black

faces in that book.

Ah, look. Hey, hey, Mabel!

Why don't you sign up with

Mabel and, you know,

topple the patriarchy

and all that, yeah.

That is actually a really good idea.

How about it, Mabes? This could

be the year of the female.

We could 100% win if

we just strategise.

I'll do the running. Oh

I actually already have a team.

But good luck, though.

LAUGHTER

There's his girlfriend!

There she is!

Look who it is!

LAUGHTER

Koku! Koku!

You f*cked him, didn't you?

II cannot let him win.

Ahhh!

You are so jarring, you know that?

Right, I'll help you out now.

I'll play your stupid little game,

but I'm not ruining my Air Forces

for this sh*t, all right?

You are the best!

What about Toby as our third?

There's no prize money, Toby.

Yeah, but that trophy's

got to be worth something.

Hmm. Maybe.

PHONE CHIMES

Femi-Femi-Femininity, feminine

darling energy, queen, er Yeah.

What's up, guys? You good?

Listen, erm, Toes has the shits.

Really bad. Erm

But that means that Graham and I

are looking for a third. You in?

No, you're all right.

I'm with these lot.

Oh. OK. Suit yourself.

Hrm-hrm.

I can be your third.

Erm

Is that you, yeah, Xiang?

I know I don't look impressive

or physically strong or

All right, get along

with the pitch, bro.

..but I actually am fast,

and loyal, and I'm smart.

And I know where the Pip might hide.

What is a Pip, bro?

Please, please, please?

Fine. Bro What?

What? He seems like

he knows his stuff.

Listen, have you seen this

guy's legs? He can't run.

He's a keyboard warrior.

Who else have we got?

Come on, let's go.

I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.

Yes. Yes!

XIANG CHUCKLES

It'd just be good to get you there

early so we can, erm, do a few

pieces to camera and, you know, have

you greet the kids as they arrive.

What's this?

In the back.

Hello, Stanley.

Oh, hey. So glad I caught you.

Busy, busy today, I know, I know.

I won't keep you long. Yeah.

I brought cupcakes.

Oh, why, thank you.

Do you have that list I asked for,

of the students who stayed

on the grounds over exeat?

Yes, yes, they're, yeah

Er

There you go. Yeah.

Oh, wow.

Just as I thought.

Yeah. If you could bring

the following names

to the main office

Hmm, of course.

Bro, come on.

What do you mean, "Come on"?

It's made of gold.

Toby, help me out here. No, no, I

doubt that the trophy is solid gold.

OK.

Hey, Dilton.

What's that about?

Yeah, um,

I might have messed that one up.

And my chances with the Raisinettes.

Oh, my God.

Ooh, trouble in paradise?

Bro, it's not like that.

You know he liked you. Yeah, I know.

It's justtwo friends needed help

and I had to make a tough call.

Him and?

Oh.

Don't be dumb, we just

slept together. Fire. Huh?

Not like that.

We just slept together.

Yeah, full fire. No, we just

fell asleep at the same time.

So, it was you that was

with my boyfriend.

He didn't pick up any of my calls.

No, look. Rupert isn't g*y.

And I would never do that, Florence.

I'm joking, Omar.

I swear you're blushing.

Black people nah blush.

What are you going

to do about Dilton?

I don't know, I might just leave it.

You proper wanted to

be in the Raisinettes

and you blew that off for Rupert?

Man, just chat to this

Dilton brother.

I'm with Toby on that. Mm.

Apologise.

I think he'll understand.

Mr Adebayo, Mr Palmer-Grace

and Mr Staithes,

you must report to the

main office immediately.

Come with me. Come on.

Come on, let's go.

What's What's going on?

MURMURING

sh*t

Uh-oh.

Carol!

Hi. Oh, Florence!

Oh, God, so beautiful.

Turn 18 and get married already

so I can call you daughter.

Um, I I thought they stopped

parents observing the challenge.

Oh, yes, I won't be going

anywhere near the field.

Well, darling, you

were probably in town

during all of this

commotion over exeat,

but someone brought

drugs onto school grounds

and then there was a fire.

God. Nothing to worry your

gorgeous little head about.

Ohhh, couple goals, am I right?

Ha-ha!

Aww.

Bye. Bye.

What is your mum doing here?

Oh, hi to you too.

I have a really bad

feeling about this.

I think they know about the shrooms.

How would they have found out?

Who cares? It's fine.

I mean, the worst that happens is we

get one day of overs. It's fine.

Well, we should tell the others,

so we're all on the same page.

On the same page? What? And how do

you know one of them won't snitch?

Well, Omar definitely wouldn't.

He's like your bestie, right?

You guys, like, sleep together.

No, we f*cking don't.

What are you talking about?

Sleep in the same room.

Surely that counts for something.

I'm not f*cking five years old.

I don't have any best mates.

He's a roommate at best.

OK, I was joking. I don't know what

Omar's been telling you, but I was

high as hell on those shrooms,

all right?

Omar hasn't said anything,

so why don't you relax, hon?

God forbid you have a friendship

with someone who actually

gives a sh*t about you.

Hear ye, hear ye, from Pip's hand

to journey's end,

you must evade the

wrath of thine enemy

and cross the line by eventide.

What the hell does that even mean?

HORN BLARES

What's with the likkle running yute?

HORN BLARES

The Pip is the fastest year

seven in the school.

He needs to survive all day

without getting caught.

It's brutal for them.

They get absolutely battered.

But they're children-children.

They've got the boot.

No head shots.

N-O head shots.

WHIRRING

Let the games begin!

Remember to always wear protection.

Let's go!

k*ll, k*ll, k*ll!

Come on, hurry up. Bloody slow.

What are you doing? Get on there!

All right, let's go.

I'm low-key frightened, you know.

Come on, Flo, come on.

Take no prisoners, boys.

No mercy, no surrender!

Hey, Abs, cover my back. Cover me!

Ride or die!

Yeah, boy! All right, all right.

Let's go. Go, man.

So, what is it this time?

They taken the ketamine

from the horses again?

There was a fire, Barry.

They're out of control, these kids.

Oh, wow. They're cooking meth, then.

We need to nip it in the bud now

before it escalates.

Do you need anything from

from me, Carol?

SHOUTING

Over there!

Ouch, got me in the eye!

And as soon as I see

that b*tch of a boy,

I'm aiming for his d*ck and ba*ls.

Damn, Leah, d*ck and ba*ls,

that's kind of crazy.

Yeah, well, he's a prick and

you shouldn't be backing him.

Listen, I don't know

the bruddah like you do,

but still, d*ck and ba*ls

is kind of mad.

It's like all you bruddahs

think with is your dicks.

And as soon as that gets wet,

you miraculously and audaciously

lose any sense and logic

you might have had.

Look, I'm going to be 100% honest

with you right now,

I don't know what the f*ck

you're talking about.

I'm talking about how you boys act

one way until you get what you want

and then it's complete, like, 360.

You mean, 180.

I-Ithink.

Listen, yeah, I don't know what

that Koku brother did to install

this much anger inside you, yeah,

but listen, that bruddah showed you

what he was like from day dot,

I'm telling you. Bro, this is

a different world he's from.

They're all from this world, like.

If you're trying to find

understanding here, then sorry, B,

but you're not finding that.

Different world or not,

still, d*ck and ba*ls.

It's easier to hold someone else

accountable than yourself, so

h*-h*, Xiang with the bars, yeah!

Shhh!

What? Can we please just

be quick and quiet?

I think I know where the Pip is.

No, I saw Koku's fat head

go that way.

Let's take him out.

I thought you wanted to win.

Sounds like somebody's

got other intentions.

Wellobviously I want to win,

it's just, like

..we've just got to

take out the competition.

I don't know about you, bro,

but it sounds like somebody doesn't

want to take accountability.

He's got a point.

What?

XIANG TUTS AND SIGHS

What, bro?

Swear to God,

you lot annoying as hell, bro.

So, we have brought you Ahem.

So you're aware, this isn't

an interview, it's just a chat.

You're free to leave at any time.

Yeah.

As a young black man,

I'm well versed in such proceedings.

Well, it's come to my attention

that there was a fire

started on school grounds

and we suspect it was due to the

manipulation of ill*gal substances.

We're talking about meth.

Mm, now, if someone was

cooking up meth, I'd want to know

if it was for personal

use or distribution.

Bro, what are you talking about?

Man, that's that white people sh*t.

How do you explain this? Hmm?

HE SNIGGERS

Is that Is that weed oil?

The fact that you know what it is

isn't helping your case here,

young man.

This is an arrestable offence.

Why do you reckon we're here?

Do you think it's

because of the weed?

Or the shrooms?

Could it be the fire?

Argh, I can't believe

you got me into this.

Sorry, what?

I wouldn't have been there

if you lot weren't so

So? So, what, Femi?

I shouldn't have been there.

Well, sorry for

extending the invite.

Sorry for trying to

bond with you people.

"You people"? Yeah?

Femi, are you for real right now?

It doesn't matter how many

polo shirts you buy,

you will never be one of them, Femi.

That's why they bailed on you.

FEMI CHUCKLES

Bailed on ME?

Sorry, er, where's

your mate, Rupert? Hmm?

Funny how him and his girlfriend -

who brought the drugs - aren't here,

but you are.

And you're making it out

like I'm the naive one.

Ori e o pe.

FEMI SUCKS TEETH

Did you know that in this town

alone, there are over 5,000 opiate

and heroin and crack users?

That's double the

national average, you know.

And you come in here,

talking to me about weed.

It's still a class B drug.

That?

This?

This isn't even a pack.

It's probably some medicinal

sh*t or something.

Sorry for swearing

..but, I mean

I wouldn't know about that.

You're so full of sh*t, Jaheim.

I thought you said you were going

to help me win. What the hell?

Oh whatever, man.

Listen, this game is rigged anyway.

It's not meant for us to win.

Oh, shocker - same shitty attitude

you've had all term.

Why are you even here if you're not

going to try and that? Oh, my God,

shut up and listen, yeah?

Cos if you would've let me land,

I would've said it's not meant

for us to win because it's meant for

the people that were born in this.

It's meant for the men that have

this in their flipping back garden.

Look.

What?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm just trying to make the game

a bit more fair, innit?

In fact, think your boy, Koku,

ain't too far from here

Wait, Jaheim

You hacked the drone?

Yes, I did.

Oh, my God.

I could f*cking kiss you right now.

Well, don't do that.

Haaa! You could kiss me.

Would you keep up?

Is her foot even broken?

Huh.

I think we should go right.

We can gain higher ground.

Last year, the Pip was

found by the river.

OK, so?

So, it's always there.

This isn't news, hon.

Maybe sh*t is different now.

Deal with it.

Let's just try something else

and be done with this.

What, so you can get back

to your new best friend

and swap f*cking haircare secrets?

ABBY GASPS

Get over yourself, Markle.

You can't say sh*t like that.

I always say sh*t like that,

but suddenly, I'm a b*tch,

it's a problem, I'm ignorant.

You are ignorant.

Name one ignorant thing

I have ever done to you.

I'm not sitting here tallying

your indiscretions, Florence.

Clearly you are, Abby, because

you've been acting like a stuck-up

b*tch ever since you remembered

you were bla

I dare you to finish that.

One ignorant thing. Go on. OK.

That stupid joke you made about

Jaheim's d*ck taking out

a whole village.

That was Beatrix!

Well, he was wearing grey

f*cking shorts.

I know a prominent d*ck

outline when I see one.

You call me exotic-looking

whenever I put on eyeliner.

You say my hair is wild

when I haven't pulled it back!

Girls! You asked me once

if I knew Swahili.

Swahili, Florence!

Girls! I found the f*cking Pip!

Please don't sh**t me.

That depends on one thing.

Hand us the boot.

b*tch!

Weed, Carol. Really?

Remind me of your badge number,

kind sir.

Barry, trust me,

let's cut this one loose.

I know I can get something

out of one of the other ones.

I promise there's more than

weed at play here.

We just have to find it.

DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING

There's no need to be scared.

I'm not scared. I just don't know

what I'm doing here.

I get it.

No snitch, no stitch. Right?

We want to get this sorted

out quickly and internally.

It's how we do things

here at St Gilbert's.

No-one needs to know.

Or we call your parents.

What do you say?

What the f*ck have you been

saying to Florence? What?

Why have you been running your

mouth? Rupert, I don't have time

for this right now. No, no, no, no.

No, get off! I'm about to be

questioned by the police. What?

Presumably over your girlfriend's

drugs. So chill.

sh*t.

Police?

sh*t, I'm sorry.

I had no idea.

You take the left.

You, right. Come here.

Let's do this.

Move out.

Back up. Back up.

g*ns on the ground.

Don't move.

Back off.

LAUGHTER

We don't want to ruin your pretty

little outfits,

so why not give up the boot, eh?

g*nf*re

Ooh! Ooh!

Whoo! Brap, brap, brap, brap, brap!

That's what you get, b*tch! b*tch!

Whoo! as*h*le. Whoo!

Too busy hunting me down.

Didn't realise you got shot too.

What?

Mabel.

Hi.

You shot me. Wagwan?

Nothing wagwan, Leah. It's a game.

Yeah, right, as if it's not about

this fat forehead prick.

Well, maybe if you were thinking

about someone other than him,

you wouldn't have been shot.

Oh, so it is about

the limp d*ck prick.

I'm right here. I know.

Mabel, I apologised. Barely.

You said we'd talk about it later

and we never did

because you're all about you

and all your sh*t.

You didn't even

check in to see how I felt.

Well, I'm sorry if I had to cleanse

my body from the Uncle Tom

I let inside of me.

Again, all about you.

And Jesus Christ, Mabel,

you are so f*cking needy!

What? Yes. Me?! You.

Needy?! Needy. Shut up!

Leah, you got shot but we didn't.

We're still playing.

I drop everything to help you

and I'm needy?

f*ck you.

Mabel, I didn't mean

Show's over, Little Mix.

Hand over the boot or

we will empty our loads

..from the paintball g*n.

f*ck me.

Do you know what?

Yeah, you can just have it.

It was your idea to play this

f*cking game!

I just wanted us

to spend some time together

but instead, all we've done is

assassinate each other's characters

and I, I hate it!

You are both being selfish,

self-centred little hags

and it stops now.

Just stop being little shits

and apologise!

Sorry.

MUMBLES: Sorry.

Oh! Properly!

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean anything I said.

I was just upset cos it's like you

found Leah and suddenly,

we didn't matter any more.

Just because me and Leah are friends

does not mean that you two

are not my b*tches.

I would never say anything

to hurt you.

Well, I can just be an insensitive

jealous d*ck sometimes

butI love you.

You're the most beautiful girl

I know.

I love you too.

I'm sorry I've been distant,

and I am sorry about your foot.

It's all right. It's not like you

did it on purpose.

Abby, you sadistic cow.

LAUGHS

In all honesty,

it's not even broken.

Oh, yeah, we know.

We know.

I love you b*tches.

I love you too. Slag.

THEY GIGGLE

And I love you both.

You wh*res! Oh!

Sowe can have the boot? Xiang.

Uh, hey! b*tches, slags, wh*res,

yeah, whatever.

Um, quick question - cos you guys

aren't playing any more

and we are, could we maybe,

you know, have the boot, please?

We, we, we don't have to

have that one.

We can go and find

another one, right?

But just that one on your shoulder

would do very nicely, please.

Please.

Thank you.

CHANTING: Carruthers! Carruthers!

Carruthers!

Right, uh, well done, everyone.

That was very touching. Let's go.

Take one for the team.

No, it's not really about winning

though, is it?

It's about the power of friendship.

I feel like no-one's

listening to me.

Fab-a-lab-a-ding-dong.

f*ck's sake. Sorry, girls.

g*nf*re, GIRLS SCREAM

Good luck. Yeah.

How you doing?

Someone's got to win soon. Yeah.

How was it? Did you find the Pip?

SHE SOBS

Tears of joy. Yeah. Hmm.

PHONE BUZZES

Hello?

Well, of course I'm hard to reach,

Tiffany.

I'm in the middle of nowhere.

What?!

I can't believe they're still

getting away with this sh*t.

Getting away with what?

The whole strip search thing, right?

I mean, clearly that's what

they're doing in there.

I'veI've never been stopped

by the police before.

Look, if I know anything about

school policy, and trust me,

I know school policy,

they've already

searched your room for drugs and

obviously found nothing in there,

right? So

Right. The easiest thing for you to

do is just show them

that you have nothing on you.

How do I do that?

OK. Um

..just unturn your pockets so they

can see there's nothing there.

See? There you go. Yeah.

Nothing there.

Thanks.

Right. Ah, but, no, you might have

something strapped around here,

so, you're going to have to take

that off. Yeah.

Take it off. I'm being serious.

OK.

Someone had drugs on school

grounds over exeat.

So, we have to call your parents so

we can get a drug test authorised.

Drug test?! Ke?!

Nah. Please. I-I

..I'll get sent to Nigeria!

Unless Unless what?

Well, unless we find who this

actually belongs to,

we have to assume it's you.

Google what he's saying.

Ooh, trainers too. Yeah, dealers

always have drugs in their trainers.

OK. Hm-mm.

Mm, socks too.

But can't they see an outline

through my socks?

Like, surely I don't need to do

this. No, no, no, no.

These days, dealers have all

sorts of hidden compartments.

Come on, socks off.

It's for your own good.

Quickly. Come on,

someone could come.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's it.

What else?

Maybe the vest.

Or maybe, uh Whoa.

Tracksuit bottoms?

What? f*ck you doing? f*ck!

Huh? The vest too?

Ain't this what you want, Rupert?

Cos I can't see any reason why you'd

want this except to see my d*ck!

You're a f*cking weirdo.

No, I'm a f*cking idiot

ignoring what everyone

says about you.

Yeah? What's everyone saying?

You're a sociopathic, pathetic knob.

And that's without everyone

knowing about your daddy issues.

Yeah, that's funny that, I'm the

sociopath with the daddy issues,

yet you're the f*cking loser

who could just about get me

to be his mate.

If playing with me gets your

sad little rocks off

..get your fill. I did.

Thank you.

What the hell is going on here?!

Carol, what have you done?

sh*t.

The quickest route crosses paths

with Felix. But if we take

the longer route, they'll beat us

there and batter us

before we've even crossed the line.

Bro, where's all this negativity

coming from, man?

I'm just being real, Jaheim.

Listen, I did not come this far

just to lose, right?

I'm doing this for you two. So,

we'd better find a way around it.

Thanks for the positivity, Oprah,

but we will lose

because Felix is watching.

He's always watching.

I'm just going to run.

Give me the boot. What? No.

Give me the boot!

Give me the boot!

Stand by.

Get ready.

Aargh! Hold it! Go, go, go!

THEY SCREAM

Ow!

Urgh! Ow, ow, ow!

Well, well, well.

Looks like we've caught

ourselves a little whopper.

I've blown off three dicks today

and I will blow off three more.

No, I didn't I

I didn't, I didn't mean it like

that. You

You're out. Remember?

If you sh**t us, your whole team

will be disqualified.

Bad luck.

Oh, and, uh, you were right.

I am always watching.

We know, you perv!

Well, yippee-ki-yay, m*therf*ckers!

CHEERING

sh*t! sh*t on it!

Yeah!

f*ck! Don't f*cking touch me!

Yeah!

The police?!

Barry's hardly a SWAT team.

They're kids. There was a fire,

Bernard! Drugs!

There's always drugs!

It's a private sch

This is a private school,

not a monastery.

I told you I have a handle on it.

No, you don't.

I've got half a mind to call

the board and tell them

What? That you, uh, had three

underage kids questioned without

parental knowledge or

authorisation?

Get the hell out of my school.

It's only a matter of time before

everyone else sees what I can,

then you're gone.

DOOR SLAMS

BEEPS

Send him in, please.

Sit down.

Omar, I

..I have no words.

What Mrs Watlington-Geese

did to you was despicable

and I intend to

get to the bottom of it.

I don't want anyone to know.

It will just blow back on me.

No, I wouldn't let that happen.

Why don't you leave the matter

with me? And I promise

I willhave it resolved in

a timely and discreet manner.

Can I leave, please?

Of course.

Hey.

Dilton.

Don't you mean Rupert?

Honestly, I'm so sorry.

No, no, no. It's not your fault.

I'm the twat

cos I left my fate and

the Raisinettes on you.

It meant a lot to me, too.

More than you could imagine.

I can't imagine.

And I don't believe you.

Is this the champion chariot?

Yes, it is!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Oh

CHEERING

Yeah! Whoo!

Jaheim! Come on. That's my boy!

Yo, thank you for letting me get

past that line with the boot, man.

Only one winner.

I'm glad it was you.

Wait, what? Why are the police here?

What?

And the boys still haven't

messaged you back? No.

Thank you. Incredible.

Why don't this feel right, Jaheim?

Why were the police here?

Toby, Omar and Femi

weren't at the challenge.

Why?

That is none of your concern.

But it is my concern.

They're my friends.

Yes, and they're my students.

Was there anything else,

Miss Ashford?

SHE GASPS, SCOFFS

Sit down.

How did Carol get hold of this?

I've absolutely no idea, sir.

Well, first things first,

we need to contact Omar's parents.

We thought it might help for Preeya

and I to speak with them first.

From a PR standpoint,

it's important that we contain it.

Omar has decided he does not wish to

draw attention to the matter,

so, it's, it's best we don't, uh,

take it any further.

Let that be a relief to us all.

Uh, the school is currently going

through a difficult chapter,

so we think following all

procedures

and policies would

probably be best, B.

HE SIGHS

Fine.

But after the fundraiser.

That's weeks away.

Without donations, the school

cannot function,

and we certainly can't support

our new scholarship students.

Last thing I need right now is

our donors getting a whiff of yet

another sh*t storm.

PR aside, I mean, we just saw Omar,

we could at least

Listen, the children's wellbeing

is my job, not yours.

Of course.

Stanley, before the fundraiser,

I want you to search every dorm

and confiscate every piece

of contraband you can find.

I don't want to find so much as a

cough drop on the school grounds.

Understood? Of course.

We could take away their phones,

we could turn off the internet,

and that way, they won't be able to,

uh, contact their dealers.

Just a suggestion.

Good idea. Why not? B,

I know things can feel like

they're closing in on you

I promise you that this

issue will be resolved.

But right now, we need to ensure

that this fundraiser

goes without a hitch.

Is that clear? Yes, B.

Yes, Bernard. Yes, sir.

So, I told that copper,

I ain't no snitch.

You're a bloody rah'scal,

that's what.

ALL: Rah'scals, rah'scals,

rah'scals, rah'scals,

rha'scals, rha'scals, rha'scals!

ALL CHEER

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Omar, I just saw the police.

Where have you been all day?

What happened? Can we just leave it?

I can call Gus. Look, right? Listen

to me. Listen to me for once, right?

No, but if I just No, no, no, no.

Listen. Right? I'm not your child.

It's none of your business.

Sorry, but if I just call him

Look, leave it!

Right? Leave it.

I'm fine. I'm f*cking fine!

Leave me alone.
