00:04How are we going to face the parents?
00:11Don't, don't, don't.
00:12Don't go down that aisle. What can we be doing?
00:15Okay, we need to plan for classes, yeah?
00:19Yeah, I'll...
00:20Maybe I'll come to the kids.
00:26Wesley, what's going on?
00:29What's going on?
00:32I'll be able to...
00:33I'm so sorry.
00:37So sorry.
00:55Thank you, all of you, for the gathering at this heartbreaking time.
01:04The last few hours have been deeply, deeply harrowing, to say the least.
01:11I know that some of you were personally close to Dee.
01:16This will take some time to process, but the authorities will want to speak to all of you.
01:24Particularly about the pills that Dee took.
01:27It's imperative that we find out who or what drove them to this, and that it does not happen to
01:32anyone else.
01:33So, we need to identify and monitor the most vulnerable students.
01:37I think we should all keep a close eye on Leo Dalton, Dee's best friend.
01:42Leo's in my phone group.
01:44I'll touch base with him, and report back.
01:49At this devastating moment, we have a duty of care to these children.
01:55They need our support at this fragile time.
01:58We're working with the police to discover how and why this happened.
02:03Helen, DS O'Brien would like to speak to you first.
02:15Leo, are you in there?
02:20Leo, Leo.
02:21I just heard him out.
02:23I'm so sorry.
02:24Is there anything I can do?
02:27Right, well, I'm staying at it, okay, for as long as you need me.
02:37We're trying to paint a picture of who Dee was.
02:40Anything that might go some way of explaining why they took their own life.
02:48Well, she was bright as a button.
02:51You could say a bit quiet, but nothing out of the ordinary.
02:55How about their schoolwork, exam pressures, any areas of concern?
02:59She missed the mark on her last essay, but it's nothing I was overly concerned about.
03:04What about the drugs found in Dee's room?
03:06Did they have a reputation for that?
03:08No, I wouldn't, Dee wasn't like that.
03:11Personally, I found her a pleasure to teach.
03:14I noticed your use of female pronouns.
03:17We understand that Dee, I identified as non-binary.
03:20Yes, sorry.
03:21What's that?
03:22This wasn't a source of conflict between the two of you, was it?
03:25No.
03:27They hated conflict.
03:31You covered detention with Dee yesterday, am I correct?
03:36What was the reason for that?
03:39Late homework.
03:42You were the last teacher to have any interaction with Dee before they overdosed.
03:48May I ask how they seemed?
03:52They were right to reign, as far as I could tell.
03:58Was there anything said that might give you cause of concern?
04:01Anything that might shed some light on the events of the world?
04:05It was a boxed hand in detention.
04:10I did some marking, they sat in silence.
04:13No one D left, any signs of an ease of distress.
04:18Not that I clocked.
04:23No.
04:31You may go.
04:43I've got you back.
04:45So, just stay strong and don't say anything to anyone.
04:49We'll be alright.
05:07President.
05:11I just wanted to check that you're okay.
05:17Are you serious?
05:19Because I'm worried about you.
05:22You mean you're worried I'm going to cross on you for what you said?
05:25No.
05:26No.
05:27Look, I just feel that after this dreadful thing that's happened, we all need time to process.
05:34Yeah, sure.
05:36But I'm not going to say anything anyway.
05:41I don't need to.
05:45I've got your whole tirade recorded.
05:48What's in your corner?
05:50You are alone.
05:51And if you pull the handle, man, you might as well kill yourself now.
05:54I'm going to be so...
05:58I didn't mean that.
06:00But you said it.
06:01Well, you will not die innocent in this.
06:03Time after time, they asked you to stop causing chaos.
06:07How do you know it wasn't your little fight that tipped them over the edge?
06:10I didn't tell them to kill themselves.
06:13What do you intend to do with that recording?
06:17Oh, Cressida.
06:19There you are.
06:21DS O'Brien would like to speak to you, if that's okay.
06:25DS O'Brien would like to speak to you, if that's okay.
06:54DS O'Brien would like to speak to you, if that's okay.
06:56I would like to speak to you, if that's okay.
07:02Take a seat, Cressida.
07:04I'm just explaining about the protocols that the school has set in place and what the plan
07:08is going to be for the next couple of days.
07:09I know you may all have questions, but I just don't have all the answers.
07:14Excuse me, miss.
07:14Can I say something?
07:18Go ahead.
07:24I've been thinking about the drama final.
07:28I know you had your reasons for choosing Shakespeare, but I was wondering if after what's happened,
07:42you'd reconsider and change things up?
07:45I don't think now is the time to discuss this.
07:47DS O'Brien would like to speak to you, if that's okay.
07:47I disagree.
07:48I think it would be great to show our solidarity with Dee by doing a play that we dedicate to
07:53them.
07:53DS O'Brien would like to speak to you, if that's okay.
07:54The thing is, the syllabus...
07:55DS O'Brien would like to speak to you, if that's okay.
07:55I'm thinking Spring Awakening.
07:57It was Dee's favorite play.
08:00Gender, expression, sexuality, queer culture, radical.
08:06I don't know about anyone else, but I think a project like this would help me process my grief.
08:14Miss I stand with Cressida, who votes to ditch Midsummer Night's Dream and Dew Spring Awakening for Dee.
08:30What if you're willing to put in the extra work, then you're supposed to.
08:36You won't regret this.
08:45Something I can help you with?
08:47I've seen some video footage I need to discuss with you.
08:51Right.
08:52I just...
08:52I can't leave the students unsupervised.
08:56Mr. Blake's on his way to cover.
09:22A video has been shown to us that we find deeply concerning.
09:24Do you know what I'm referring to?
09:49Hey!
09:50Hey!
09:51Hey!
10:00Am I right in saying that this fight is the reason that you gave Dee and Cressida detention?
10:08Then why didn't you mention it before?
10:10Why did you tell me that Dee's relationships with other students were fine?
10:16I forgot.
10:19It was just a spat that got out of hand.
10:22Hormonal teenagers, it didn't ring any alarm bells for me.
10:25A fight between two pupils, one whom committed suicide soon after, didn't ring any alarm bells.
10:31Obviously, it should have.
10:33I just thought they dealt with it, and by the time we got to the actual detention, the issue seemed
10:38to be resolved.
10:40I'm sorry.
10:42This has all been very traumatic.
10:47I mean, is there any more key information that you've failed to disclose?
10:53No, I don't think so.
11:06I don't think so.
11:08I don't think so.
11:12I don't think so.
11:29Sorry I'm late, love.
11:31I'm going to have a day.
11:36You okay?
11:40Actually, can we talk about something?
11:43Of course.
11:44Come sit down.
11:45Hey.
11:50So, it's about Leo.
11:53Right, okay.
11:56I'm sorry, I'm worried about him, and how he's sort of taken to his death.
12:03Yeah, he's beating himself up over it, and without them, he's going to be lost, and I just want to
12:08help him.
12:09I'm sure you being there for him is helping more than you know.
12:13And I'll look out for him too, okay?
12:17Together, we will get him through this.
12:20I promise.
12:24Coming.
12:49Hello?
12:52That won't help when you know it.
12:54Oh, not now, Terry. I'm not there for a lecture.
12:57Sam called. She's going to see how you're doing.
13:00Shit, how do you think?
13:01Yeah. Yeah, sounds about right.
13:04Sam?
13:07As well as can be expected, I guess.
13:09Oh, don't call him down. He's in his room.
13:12I just wanted you both to know that you're me, if you need anything.
13:19Thanks. That's... that's appreciated.
13:24No doubt this has been easy.
13:26Something like this in his first term.
13:28I doubt this new school might make things better for him.
13:30Well, how was I to know this would happen?
13:32It won't. I'm not... I'm just trying to...
13:34Well, don't.
13:37I'm sorry.
13:41I'm here because I give a shit, Els.
13:43About both of you.
14:00Good morning, Miss Simpson.
14:04What can I do for you?
14:06I was thinking we could have a creative conversation about Spring Awakening.
14:11How do we ensure that we're representing the themes to a modern audience?
14:18Teenagers, complex identities, representation, reclamation, the power of being seen.
14:24I think that's to be discovered in rehearsals.
14:29Okay.
14:32I was also thinking about casting.
14:34I reckon I make a great Wendler.
14:38I could use the monologue for my drama school audition.
14:41The police know about your fight with Dean.
14:45I know.
14:46I told them.
14:48I thought it was better to be open and honest.
14:52But you didn't talk about the detention.
14:55Hmm.
14:56I'm not sure that's my story to tell.
15:02Is this all just a pimp your uni application?
15:05No.
15:06I genuinely think you deserve to pay if you're outdated and problematic opinions.
15:10Or you'll never learn.
15:11What does that mean?
15:15Wait until...
15:27Mum.
15:28Sorry, a mouth away.
15:30You okay?
15:31Yeah, I was just... I was thinking about Leo.
15:33Um...
15:34Are you busy tonight?
15:35I was thinking I could maybe ask him over?
15:37Hang out?
15:37I don't think we can get into the habit of asking other students over to the house.
15:41It is against the rules.
15:43Mum, I really think he needs somebody to talk to.
15:45I don't want you getting too attached to his trauma, you know?
15:48No.
15:48I just thought that...
15:51Maybe...
15:52Away from school he might relax.
15:54And open up a bit.
15:56You know, in like a normal home environment.
15:59Please.
16:00Mum.
16:02Yeah, I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important.
16:03Yeah, alright.
16:04You...
16:05Invite him over tonight.
16:06I'll cook.
16:07But this has to stay between the three of us.
16:10Alright?
16:13Thanks.
16:14Yeah, you.
16:30I can't...
16:34I can't get anyachtes, I can't get anyed.
16:40I can't get any of that.
16:43You can't get any of that.
16:43Dinner is ready.
16:44Looking like enchiladas.
16:49There you go.
16:50Thanks.
16:53This is delish.
16:54Cheers, Miss Simpson.
16:56Not a problem.
16:57I can't compete with campus food, but I do my best.
17:01It's just nice to be away from the sad, sympathetic looks.
17:07People don't even say anything.
17:12They probably just don't know what to say, Leo.
17:20Who is it?
17:21Tessa.
17:32I'm sorry, lads.
17:33I need to nip out at the surgeon.
17:36Where are you going?
17:38I just need to sort something with Tessa.
17:40I won't be long.
17:41You two can have some alone time to chat.
17:42More than those.
17:50Right, let's go out.
17:51Me and you, let's get your best.
18:09You could have given me a bit more notice.
18:12I've ordered us the deluxe taster menu.
18:14That's a treat.
18:15Really?
18:16You shouldn't be drinking that.
18:20So, you gave the police the video of that fight.
18:22It's purely to mess with me.
18:25More mission accomplished.
18:26You happy now?
18:27One of my class notes just passed away.
18:30I'd hardly say that I'm happy.
18:31Come on, you couldn't give a flying fuck about me.
18:34You got on that bandwagon to rile me up.
18:37You don't know me.
18:37You're right.
18:40I don't.
18:46So tell me.
18:59I just keep thinking how selfish they are for abandoning me like this.
19:03I knew I fucking hated wank of a cheating pool.
19:09It's not easy here, is it?
19:11I mean, I thought it would be better too.
19:13It's awful.
19:15But it would be it was bearable.
19:17Friends aren't meant to leave each other in the shit.
19:23Look, I know I'm not them.
19:24Yeah, I'm not trying to be.
19:26But if you want to try and talk about anything, then...
19:29I'm here.
19:30You should have known.
19:33After what happened before.
19:36I've been such a...
19:39Such a shit friend.
19:43I don't think getting wasted is such a great idea right now.
20:03I got in...
20:10I got into this job, because I believe that theatre can help young people.
20:15that it holds up a mirror to ourselves and the world.
20:19As long as the reflection only represents your narrow view.
20:22No, not necessarily.
20:24Look, believe it or not, we have more in common than you think.
20:27I understand that since your mum left,
20:31you feel the need to act independent.
20:34You know nothing about my family.
20:36Teachers talk. I know more than you think.
20:39Well, you're just as bad.
20:41Abandoning your family.
20:44You have no idea the hurt you're causing.
20:48Half the male teachers in our school have left their families.
20:51Why are you gunning for me?
20:52It's a bit anti-feminist, don't you think?
20:55Also, Sam still lives with me and I still speak to his father,
20:58so don't compare me to any other women in your life.
21:26Leon, Leon.
21:28Sam, no more.
21:30Leon, listen.
21:31Can you believe that I've agreed to do a fucking speech at the memorial?
21:38What am I supposed to say?
21:40Maybe you're best to think about that right now.
21:42Okay?
21:43Here's what I suggest.
21:44You call my mum to pick us up, you go back to mine,
21:47find a film and we just chat shit all night.
21:50Yeah?
21:51Hey, why don't you have some water?
21:57Shit, sorry.
21:58It's fine, Leon.
21:59It's just a glass.
22:00I'm so fucking stupid, I just...
22:03I've hurt everyone.
22:05No, I can't have people near me.
22:09Leon.
22:10Leon!
22:17So what will it be then?
22:18Are you going to delete that footage so we can both move on with our lives?
22:23Why would I do that?
22:24You do realise that blackmail is a criminal offence.
22:27You do know that your dinosaur opinions are hurting people.
22:30We tried talking to you,
22:32but if I don't do something about it, who will?
22:35Don't pay yourself to be some kind of anti-hero.
22:38It is pathetic.
22:41Not as pathetic as you.
22:43Trying to negotiate when you've got nothing on me.
22:52I decide how this ends.
22:57She's paying.
22:58You do know that blackmail is a criminal offence.
23:57What is it?
23:58What are you doing?
24:01Sorry, how exactly were you planning on getting into my phone?
24:05Space ID.
24:08This needs to end, Grissida.
24:12Don't think you can go rooting through my stuff and then tell me how it's going to be.
24:18What now?
24:20Well actually there is something.
24:23I want a copy of the drama AS exam paper.
24:26No, you know I can't. The exam papers are kept locked away securely in the exam office.
24:32How would I even gain access to them?
24:37You realise if I got caught, I'm risking everything. My whole career.
24:42Fine. I'll just upload the video to socials and we can see how that affects your precious career.
24:49Okay. Fine. But this is where I draw the line. I mean it. If I get you this paper, you
25:00have to agree to delete that video.
25:02Do you?
25:03Do you?
25:04Do you?
25:17Do you?
25:20Do you?
25:30Do you?
26:30Leo?
26:32Leo, I've been looking everywhere for you.
26:34What happened?
26:36Leave me alone.
26:37No, Leo, come on.
26:38I know everything's a total shit show right now, but you've got to tell me what's going on.
26:42Come on.
26:44Here we go.
26:55The drugs the police found in Dee's room...
26:59No, man.
27:03What?
27:07I was selling them, and Dee tried them one time at the end of Tom Prom, but when they asked
27:16for more the other day, I said no.
27:19But I never moved my stash, so it's my fault.
27:22No.
27:22If I hadn't...
27:23No, no, no.
27:23None of us knew what was going through the radio.
27:25I should've though.
27:28Because I knew they couldn't off the last time.
27:31What are you talking about?
27:36Nothing.
27:37Nothing.
27:37I just...
27:42Don't leave.
27:43We are better.
27:43No, no.
27:44Please.
27:46It's not your fault.
28:04Here.
28:05Now we're even.
28:07Even.
28:08Right, you bullied one of my classmates into taking their own life.
28:11How can we ever be even?
28:12We agreed.
28:13I do this, and then that's it.
28:15Quiz.
28:15Done.
28:16We're done when I say we're done.
28:17Just wanted to see how far you'd go.
28:19Day!
28:21Every day I feel sick with guilt about what I said to Dee, and you don't care, do you?
28:25You would gladly ruin my life.
28:29Okay.
28:33Fine.
28:35If you're last stressed out about it, I'll delete it.
28:42There.
28:43Done.
28:46And Helen?
28:48Don't ever talk to me like that again.
29:15Hello?
29:17Oh.
29:18How?
29:19Sorry.
29:20Just saying all this.
29:24Yeah.
29:28I've been, um, liaising with Dee's parents about the memorial.
29:35A few of the students are helping.
29:40Leo's a great to do a speech and Chris is a sort of music.
29:43Right.
29:45Hey, you alright?
29:47Yeah, I can't seem to get my head to go.
29:50Come on.
29:52We can't let this beat us.
29:54The students are relying on us to stay strong.
30:01I just feel like I'm, like I'm losing control a bit.
30:08I'm so sorry, El.
30:09But if we crumble, let's all go to shed.
30:14You're right.
30:15I know.
30:16I know.
30:17Thanks.
30:30You said you'd keep an eye on him.
30:33What?
30:34Leo.
30:35You promised.
30:36I let you invite him for supper.
30:38That was already crossing a line.
30:39Oh, the supper that you bailed on and left me alone.
30:41To give you two time to talk?
30:43It was you I wanted him to talk to, Mum.
30:46Why didn't you say that then?
30:48I shouldn't have to spell it out for you.
30:50We needed help.
30:51Yeah, after D died.
30:53Look, I am not exactly the most qualified in the emotions department.
30:57I'm not asking you to be his therapist, Mum.
30:59I just needed you to be there.
31:01Where even were you?
31:02Look, I've been distracted.
31:05Alright?
31:05I'm sorry.
31:06I'm sorry.
31:07I'm sorry if I let you down.
31:09Stop making up excuses, Mum.
31:10I'm not.
31:11I'm just-
31:12Yes, you are.
31:13You're trying to swerve blame to avoid responsibility.
31:15I mean, who is the fucking parent here?
31:17I knew moving back in with you would be a mistake.
31:39Just me.
31:40Got a check in.
31:43Huh?
31:47This Cressida girl sounds like a nasty little mitch-mitch.
31:52You're not wrong.
31:56What happened to the team is awful.
31:58Don't make out like you're some kind of an expert on this whole non-binary woke thing.
32:03I don't understand any of this corona and stuff.
32:07But, back in our day we had Annie Lennox and David Bowie and they're just different and we all just
32:14accepted it.
32:15All I'm saying is, you didn't have to get all uppity about it.
32:21I mean, what happened to Liv and let live?
32:22Sorry you won.
32:24Yours.
32:26Always yours.
32:30Look, I can call you out if I think you've gone too far, but I also don't think anyone deserves
32:36what this Cressida girl is doing.
32:38You're both things can exist.
32:40You're not perfect.
32:42She's a twat.
32:47You always were fair.
32:50No wonder was that to be.
32:53Ouch.
33:16Leave Helen alone.
33:17What?
33:18You childish games with Helen Simpson.
33:20It ends now.
33:21What?
33:22Oh, you don't want to fucking know.
33:24Your parents might have shipped you off to boarding school and forgotten all about you.
33:28Helen is my family.
33:30And I'll protect her no matter what.
33:36Fine.
33:38I'm sorry, I'll stop.
33:39I'll stop.
33:53Hey.
33:56Do you mind if I come in?
33:59If you're here to convince me to come to the memorial, don't bother.
34:02You don't have to go.
34:04And if you don't want, you've got to grieve in your own way.
34:16I know it's weird, but I have their jacket with me to try and fill them.
34:20Close.
34:24I just miss them so much.
34:28Have you written it yet?
34:29Your speech, I mean.
34:49Beautiful.
34:51See, you would have loved it.
34:53Yeah, that's alright.
35:05What would he say?
35:07Yeah, if they were here now.
35:12Can you grab the rugs on your slug?
35:18Are you sad?
35:21Please?
35:28Get your glad rugs on your slug.
35:411
36:03I'm sorry, I just, I don't think this is a good idea.
36:06Yeah, well, with, like, the grief and everything, you're not in the right headspace, and I just...
36:11Yeah, no, it's cool, whatever, it's fine.
36:16Let's just, let's just go.
36:25Hey, where have you two been?
36:27Sorry, sir, we just, we weren't feeling up to face syndrome.
36:31All right, well, hurry up, it's starting soon.
36:35You breathe a word, and I'll know.

36:45What was that about?
36:48Just checking in.
36:50Usual.

36:55Nope, but I ain't got a choice.
36:59You'll be fine.
