00:00The authorities will want to speak to all of you.
00:03Particularly about the pills that Dee took.
00:05Any signs of an ease? Distress.
00:07Not that I clocked.
00:08I didn't tell them to kill themselves.
00:11What do you intend to do with that recording?
00:13He's gonna be lost and I just wanna help him.
00:15I want a copy of the drama AS exam paper.
00:18You know I can't. How would I even gain access?
00:21Leave Helen alone. It ends now.
00:23You knew who you were and always made me laugh.
00:26You're my ride or die.
00:27You might as well just kill yourself now.
00:29Because it doesn't get any easier from here.
00:56You lied to the police. Obstructed an investigation and a vulnerable student took their own life.
01:03No more lies, Mrs Simpson.
01:05You're going to tell us what happened.
01:07?
01:22How was it done?
01:23combustible
01:23Itu
01:24With
01:24land
01:24null
01:37Mom.
02:07Mom.
02:37Mom.
02:37Mom.
02:39Mom.
02:39Mom.
02:41Mom.
02:49Sam.
02:50Yeah?
02:56All right!
03:11Oh!
03:28Dirty times!
03:31Bitch.
03:39Good. You get in, you shut the door.
03:43I know how yesterday looks, but if I could explain...
03:46What the hell were you thinking?
03:47It wasn't out of nowhere. Cressida has been targeting me for weeks.
03:53Sorry, something funny.
03:55Oh, you make it sound like you're the victim of a 17-year-old child.
03:59She is not just a child.
04:02She has been bullying me, Simon.
04:04Just little jabs at first, criticisms, whispers.
04:07Oh, so normal teaching, then.
04:09Undermining me in front of others, but it quickly got out of hand.
04:12More hostile, like the petition.
04:14I'm not talking about Cressida, Helen. I'm talking about Dee.
04:17I knew about that recording.
04:23She threatened me with it. She tried to blackmail me.
04:27Just...
04:27Ashley, Sebastian, would you mind?
04:33What was he even doing here?
04:36Due to the severity of your actions, the guidelines state that your responsibilities be reassigned while under investigation.
04:45You're giving him my job?
04:47Yes, Helen. I am suspending you.
04:50I have no choice while we investigate your actions.
04:53I know.
04:54I made a mistake, and I'm devil...
04:56I think your words to a vulnerable child, a child who then took their own life, can be described as
05:03a mistake.
05:11We have a duty of care, Helen, which you totally and utterly neglected.
05:19Please, Simon, just hear me out.
05:21Oh, I've heard enough.
05:25I think we all have.
05:36Cookson suspended me.
05:38Good.
05:39It's not what it looks like.
05:41So you didn't say those things, then?
05:44Yes.
05:45Yes, I did, but I...
05:46It was...
05:49I am absolutely broken about what happened, but she...
05:53They!
05:53They!
05:54They!
05:56They were just a child.
05:58You know, I told you those things in confidence, and you used them to go around...
06:03No, no, not Dee! I meant Cressida.
06:04It's just a child too, Helen.
06:07From a broken family.
06:09I mean, do you really not understand how that can affect children?
06:13You!
06:14Really?
06:15She needs support.
06:18Not whatever this is.
06:22On the day that we found Dee,
06:25I told you
06:27that it was my fault.
06:31That I'd failed them.
06:34I took responsibility.
06:39And you left me.
06:43Les, I'm so sorry.
06:45Are you?
06:46Or are you sorry you just got caught?
07:07So, from now on, we'll be using my student-led learning method.
07:15You guys get a say.
07:17The reading list, for example.
07:20Let's get more voices from the margins.
07:23Queer writers, diverse texts, authentic representation.
07:41Leo?
07:44Sorry, are you busy?
07:54So, as I was saying,
07:57I want you guys to take more control.
07:59Take the reins.
08:04Leo?
08:05Everything okay?
08:06Yeah, everything's worked out just great, hasn't it?
08:09For you.
08:10Oh, come on, Leo.
08:11Don't be like that.
08:13You think I wanted this?
08:15I'm just stepping up where I'm needed.
08:17See you in Cook, sir.
08:21Leo, that's not a good idea.
08:22I don't give a shit what happens to me.
08:25If I get expelled, it'll be a relief.
08:28I'm like I've got nothing to lose.
08:29Can't say the same for you, though, can I?
08:31Look.
08:33You're mad at the wrong person here.
08:36It wasn't me that pushed them over the edge.
08:38We both know who did.
08:42Maybe we should stop blaming ourselves.
08:59They kicked out.
09:05Hey, bitch.
09:06You lost a page, Chris.
09:12Did they really get fired?
09:14No, no, it's suspended.
09:17So what happens to me?
09:19Yeah, because I can't stay here
09:20and pretend you didn't go viral
09:21for telling Dee to kill themself.
09:24Sam, I get that things are tough right now.
09:27I get it.
09:27Well, after everything that happened at my last school.
09:30This is hell for me, Mum.
09:33And it's your fault.
09:33Sam.
09:34Sam, wait.
09:35No, actually.
09:36Sam.
09:37Just stay the fuck away from me.
09:39Sam.
09:51Hey.
09:54Apparently I'm some kind of raging turf bigot now.
09:59How are you holding up?
10:04No one's asked me that.
10:06Huh?
10:07Feels like no one cares.
10:10Well, you don't always make it easy.
10:16Sam told me what happened.
10:19Yep.
10:20So now it's a disciplinary
10:22and the police want to speak to me again.
10:25Right.
10:27Why?
10:28More questions about Dee, about Cressida,
10:30about all of it.
10:33Whatever happens, just give them what they want.
10:36If it all goes tits up, fuck it.
10:38Maybe it's for the best.
10:39Just walk away from it all.
10:40I won't give up my life.
10:43Fine.
10:44What about Sam's?
10:45Or are you happy to just chuck that down the drain
10:47like you did with mine?
10:48Like you did with ours?
10:49It's time to go.
10:50Oh, more than happy to.
10:54Oh.
10:55Did you hear from him yet?
10:57Sam, no.
10:58Why?
10:58He's at mine, just so you know.
11:00And he's staying there.
11:02Oh.
11:29You dropped this earlier.
11:32Thought you might need it.
11:34The truth can be painful, can't it?
11:36I gave you the exam papers.
11:38You deleted that video.
11:39We had a deal.
11:40You really think I wouldn't have kept a backup?
11:42Well, that's actually kind of sweet.
11:44This is not a fucking game, Cressida.
11:45This is my life.
11:46I'm warning you.
11:49What?
11:49What are you going to do?
11:51Put me in detention again?
11:53Oh, wait.
11:54You can't do that anymore, can you?
11:57Let me know when you've figured it out.
12:01I'll see you later.
12:06What's your name?
12:08What's your name?
12:18It's my name.
12:18What's your name?
12:19What's your name?
12:28I said to myself.
14:45Hey.
14:49Look, I know your mum and I have our drama, and this isn't my place to say, but...
14:53Didn't you start a petition to get us out?
14:57Well, yeah.
15:00Which is why I wanted to see if you were all right.
15:03You know, because it's...
15:04It's okay.
15:05You're not.
15:14You're getting caught up in all of this.
15:17But there's something I want to say, if you'll hear me out.
15:21It's...
15:22You...
15:25It's unfair.
15:26You're people who get torn apart just for being who they are.
15:31And that's wrong.
15:33But all it takes is for someone to see you, for who you are.
15:43Come on.
15:45I'll walk with you.
15:55You're a little girl.
15:58It's about time you've learned to fight your own battle.
16:00Because out there, in the real world, there is no one in your corner.
16:04You are a loathe.
16:06You are a loathe.
16:06And if you pull the handle back, you might as well just kill yourself now.
16:09Because it doesn't get any idiot from here.
16:12I think your parents will take to all items on the people who are not being told that you
16:15weren't their primitive little girl anymore.
16:17It's about time you've gone.
16:19It's about the real battle.
16:20Out there, in the real world, there is no other people at all.
16:24You are a loathe.
16:26You're a loathe.
16:26You can't have a loathe.
16:27I can't have a loathe.
16:28You can't have a loathe.
16:29You can't have a loathe.
16:30You can't have a loathe.
16:33You can't have a loathe.
16:34What was your old school?
16:35Uh, just, you know, like, stuff.
16:39Drama.
16:40Bad stuff?
16:43Uh, I don't really want to talk about it, if that's okay.
16:46Sure, of course.
16:47Sorry.
16:49What was it like, though?
16:50Like, a nice school?
16:52So different to this.
16:53It was just like a normal state school, so no squash courts, no borders.
16:57I mean, half the windows didn't even open.
16:59What?
16:59No equestrian center?
17:01Heh.
17:02So?
17:03We're supposed to just ignore the fact that your dad is a walkerman.
17:06So much for being an ally.
17:08You're full of shit, Bancroft.
17:20This is brilliant.
17:23Who did this?
17:25I'll send one to my dad.
17:28It's true.
17:29Of course it's true.
17:31Why do you think I hate them so much?
17:33But just because your parents are complete twats doesn't mean that you should have to take
17:37the stick for it.
17:39Right, Sam?
17:42Cressida?
17:43Yes, sir?
17:44Mr. Cookson wants to see you.
17:56Oh, you've figured out how to use Google.
17:58Well done.
17:59You've got one already.
18:00Good.
18:01Yes, thank you.
18:02Don't worry.
18:03I'll recycle it.
18:04Your dad funds regimes that execute the kids you pretend to fight for.
18:09Impressive.
18:10Most scandals are hiding in plain sight.
18:13Is that really the best you can do?
18:15No.
18:15That's waiting for you in there.
18:17Let's see how much you care about the truth.
18:27What's Miss Simpson doing here, sir?
18:29It doesn't make me feel very safe.
18:33This isn't about Miss Simpson, Cressida.
18:35This is about you.
18:39Your detention with Dee.
18:41You recorded it, but you didn't report it.
18:45Why?
18:49I, er...
18:51I should have.
18:54But...
18:55I was scared.
19:00I've been targeted by Miss Simpson since term started because...
19:05I questioned her lack of respect.
19:09Misgendering Dee.
19:12I filmed the detention,
19:14hoping that she'd reflect.
19:18So that she'd see.
19:23But...
19:23I...
19:24I...
19:28I was just trying to help.
19:32So you didn't use it...
19:36to blackmail her for these?
19:45No.
19:47Then what were they doing in your door?
19:51I...
19:54I've no idea, sir.
19:57Probably put there by the same person who made this.
20:01She hates me.
20:05I'm...
20:06I'm telling you, I'm being targeted.
20:09And...
20:09I've...
20:10I've worked so hard and it's not fair.
20:13I'm...
20:14I'm being punished.
20:16I'm bullied by a person in power and...
20:21I...
20:22I...
20:23I...
20:24I...
20:24I don't know how much...
20:25How...
20:28I don't know how much more I can take.
20:32I've...
20:33I really understand why...
20:35Why Dee did what they...
20:38Okay, look.
20:41I know that this is an incredibly upsetting time.
20:46So we call this a warning.
20:49Alright?
20:54Thank you, Mr. Cookson.
21:02I, um...
21:03I hope Miss Simpson gets the help she needs.
21:36Leo...
21:36Please, you don't wanna do this.
21:38Don't I?
21:39Leo...
21:40Whatever it is...
21:42Let's talk.
21:43Okay.
21:43Let's talk about Dee.
21:44How they were finally starting to fall out themself.
21:47And then you came along and fucked it all up.
21:50Told them to toughen up or die.
21:51I was trying to help.
21:52How the fuck is that helping?
21:53Because life is tough, Leo.
21:55You have to be able to fight your own corner.
21:57So that's your job, is it?
21:59What? To break us in?
22:00No.
22:00My job is to prepare you.
22:02Look, I should never have said what I did to Dee.
22:06But telling you kids everything you wanna hear?
22:09Like Blake does?
22:12Wrapping you up in cotton wool just to win your approval?
22:14That's not teaching.
22:16That's negligence.
22:20Why are you talking about Blake?
22:22What's he said?
22:23What?
22:24Do you know about the bull?
22:26About what he did?
22:27About what...
22:30About what I did?
22:33No, Leo.
22:34I honestly don't.
22:37But you can tell me.
22:40If you want to.
23:05The bull was a good...
23:06Dee was struggling.
23:08Stuff at home.
23:09Parents.
23:11And the bull was meant to be...
23:13Fun.
23:17So we'd snuck some drinks in.
23:19Blake was cool with it.
23:21He was always trying to impress us like that.
23:23But Dee, they were just so...
23:27Rekt.
23:29So I thought, maybe if they stop thinking, they'd chill out.
23:37So I gave them...
23:44It was an accident.
23:50Dee just went white.
23:53I started shaking in her eyes.
23:55And Blake, what did Blake do?
23:58He cleaned it up.
24:00Kept it quiet, told me not to say anything.
24:02But he just wouldn't leave it alone.
24:04Kept pushing me.
24:05Liam, I won't say anything.
24:07You can't. He's right. If I get expelled after everything...
24:10You are trying to help.
24:12You care about your friends. I saw it with Dee.
24:16And I see it with Sam.
24:27Can you get rid of these for me?
24:29Please.
24:45Hey, Sam.
24:47Hi.
24:49Can I ask you a favour?
24:52Er...
24:53Yeah.
24:54Yeah, sure. What's up?
25:07You've got 150 windows open.
25:10I mean, it's brave. Or lazy.
25:13Okay, rude.
25:18You know a few of us are heading out tonight.
25:22To celebrate Dee.
25:25You wanna come?
25:27Er...
25:27I'll buy you a drink as a thanks.
25:31Er, yeah.
25:31Yeah.
25:31Yeah, sure. Maybe.
25:33I'm just...
25:34Not exactly sure I'd be welcome.
25:36Plus...
25:37I was supposed to be going to see Leo.
25:41Honestly, Sam.
25:42Just forget him.
25:44It's his loss, anyway.
25:46Is it?
25:47Yeah.
25:49It's Leo. He's like...
25:51Er, a lot.
25:52Oh, it's so much drama.
25:54And you seem genuine.
25:55You deserve better.
26:03We're in.
26:24Everyone!
26:26Today!
26:27Today!
26:28Woo!
26:33Woo!
26:34Woo!
26:38Woo!
26:38Woo!
26:40Woo!
26:41Woo!
26:44Woo!
26:52Sorry, isn't this, like, kind of in bad taste?
26:55No!
26:57Dee loved it, though.
26:59They want us to have fun.
27:00Come on!
27:02How are you coming at that?
27:05Hello, come on.
27:06My little guy.
27:17Hi, are you coming!
27:51Oh, fuck.
27:58What is it, Helen?
28:00Cressida is going off to Sam.
28:02She's targeting him.
28:03He's out with her right now.
28:05Well, it's not just her, is it?
28:07It's a thing for Dean.
28:09Then why has she just sent me a photo of them kissing?
28:12What photo?
28:13I'll forward it to you.
28:19It's gone.
28:20She deleted it.
28:22She's dangerous.
28:22She is using him to get to me.
28:25You have to put a stop to it.
28:27Look, I will sort it, okay?
28:29How?
28:31Look, I've got to go.
28:33He bought her home?

32:33I trusted somebody and I thought I knew them, but...
32:39Turns out I didn't. Like, at all.
32:47I just really don't want to get it wrong again.
32:53You won't.
32:57You can trust me.
33:07Okay.

35:39Your dad just walked in on me getting changed.
35:43Oh.
35:44You okay?
35:45I'm sure he just didn't realise.
35:49He was hovering outside the bathroom yesterday too.
35:54He really creeped me out.
35:58Right.
36:00Well, he's taken me to work later, after school.
36:03So, I can talk to him then if you want.
36:06No, it's fine.
36:07I'm probably just being paranoid.
36:11Ignore me.
36:20No, I'm pretty.
36:22I'm ready.
36:31I'm already.
36:31I'm ready.
36:37Okay.
36:40I'm pretty.
36:47What do you want then?
36:49Oh, to cry about Sam.
36:51I called your dad.
36:57I was going to send him the photos you sent me.
37:00I took screenshots before you could delete them.
37:04It's illegal to share sex pics and nudes,
37:07especially without the consent of your partner.
37:09I wonder what the police and school senior management team will make of it.
37:14Who the fuck do you think you are?
37:16Don't worry. Your daddy didn't care to talk to me.
37:20Or care to hear about you, rather.
37:24All your drama and chaos, it isn't activism.
37:29It's performance.
37:30It's a desperate cry for attention from a father
37:34who couldn't even be asked to take my call.
37:36Does he even take your calls? Or do you get put on hold, too?
37:40Shut up.
37:41He didn't give a shit.
37:42Does he let you go home in the holidays?
37:44Or are you one of those rejects that gets abandoned on campus
37:47because you don't go to your mum's, do you?
37:49How is your mum, by the way?
37:52You don't know anything about me.
37:54I know you think you're in control,
37:55but all I see is a scared, shitless little kid
37:58trying to punish someone who isn't even here.
38:02And you've been making the rest of us pay for it ever since.
38:04Mostly me, because I abandoned Terry, too.
38:07Right? That's it, isn't it?
38:09That is your sick, fucked-up reasoning.
38:11You think you hate me, but the truth is
38:12you hate yourself.
38:14You hate that I see you,
38:15but most of all, you hate that I'm right.
38:21You hate that I see you, but the truth is
38:48I don't know.
39:19Oh, my God.
39:51Oh, my God.
40:22I'm sorry.
40:25It's okay.
41:03What are you doing here?
41:05Where's Sam?
41:10What's up to your face?
41:12You should ask your ex.
41:15No.
41:17No, she'd never.
41:18Not buying it.
41:19Doesn't matter.
41:21Sam does.
41:24What have you told him?
41:26How you've been looking at me.
41:28And, of course, that you threatened me before the memorial.
41:34Put your hands all over me.
41:39I might have adjusted a few details of the nature of it.
41:42Cressida?
41:46Get away from me.
41:49Sam, help!
41:50What do you think you're doing?
41:51Don't touch me.
41:54What the fuck's going on?
41:55I don't know.
41:56I didn't touch her.
41:57He just grabbed me.
41:59Son, listen to me.
42:00No, stay there, Dad.
42:03Sammy.
42:04Son, it's me.
42:10Come on.
42:11Sammy.
42:29We can get away from here.
42:32Go somewhere safe.
42:41Just me and you.
42:46Okay?
42:49Okay?
43:19I probably can't find me before, so leave me a message.
43:22Terry, I got her.
43:24I think I really got her this time.
43:30She's done.
43:32Call me back.
43:55And the teacher concludes tomorrow at nine, or stream it on five.
