00:00The End
00:30Let's go.
01:09Hi, sweetheart.
01:12Sam?
01:15Sam, are you there?
01:20Sweetheart, please talk to me.
01:22I just want to make things right.
01:30I just want to make things right here.
02:00Yeah, you and Cressida came to blows.
02:02She attacked me.
02:04Let the Cheetham Hall jungle drums know, will you?
02:06People are going to gossip.
02:07They might as well get their facts straight.
02:09And yes, I said jungle drums.
02:12Good luck with the meeting.
02:14We both know you don't mean that, do you?
02:17It's not like you've ever made the wrong call about something.
02:20Made an error of judgment that could cost you everything if word got out.
02:24Helen.
02:25You worried I'm going to drag you down with me?
02:26You should be.
02:27I'm a menopausal woman full of bitterness and rage.
02:30Who knows what I might let slip?
02:42Right, I'll get straight to it.
02:44I'm afraid, regardless of the outcome of your disciplinary hearing,
02:49the board have made the decision to terminate your employment here at Cheetham Hall.
02:54Your position here has become untenable.
02:57How much did the Bancroft family offer you for my scalp?
03:01This isn't about Cressida Bancroft.
03:03It's about the fact that you are woefully out of touch with the students of this school.
03:08You've lost their trust, and you've lost their respect.
03:11Because I refuse to sanitize their education.
03:14A child died, Helen.
03:15You can't keep pointing fingers and deflecting blame.
03:20D. Rainford Thomas was failed by this school.
03:24We all need to own that.
03:28Yeah.
03:30I'm so sorry to interrupt, sir,
03:32but the police are here to speak to Cressida Bancroft about the alleged assault.
03:36But she's missing.
03:37Reception called looking for you, Helen.
03:40There's been an incident.
03:42Miss Terry.
04:00What are you doing?
04:02Just calling my dad.
04:06I am probably going by before.
04:09Watch me out.
04:10Why were you calling him?
04:11I just...
04:12I feel a bit bad about the way we left things.
04:19Well, he is still my dad.
04:22He attacked me, Sam.
04:24Well, have you forgotten that?
04:26No, of course not.
04:27I'm sorry.
04:30I need to feel safe with you.
04:37I thought you were on my side.
04:39I am.
04:41Yeah, of course I am.
04:42I'm just...
04:45I'm messed up.
04:47You know?
04:47I'm ready.
04:51I think I'm left.
04:52I'm right.
04:57I'm fine.
05:25The police called the school and said you were in here.
05:27What happened?
05:29Cressida.
05:31She did that?
05:33I told you she was dangerous.
05:35You should have picked her up last night after what she did to me.
05:37We had to establish the facts.
05:39I gave you the facts.
05:43Cressida.
06:11This was posted this morning.
06:16That's Shakespeare.
06:17Sorry?
06:18Did my heart love till now?
06:20It's from Romeo and Juliet.
06:21She's taunting me.
06:24I'm telling you, she is manipulating him.
06:27Given the recent suicide at the school, we need to tread very carefully.
06:32Our priority right now is bringing both teenagers home safely before things escalate further.
06:37But I will keep you both informed as and when.
06:42Why didn't you call me?
06:44What would you have done?
06:46He's my son.
06:48When was the last time you had a proper conversation with him?
06:51He can talk to me about anything.
06:53That's not how he sees it.
06:55He was there, Hel.
06:57He saw how you reacted when I was struggling.
07:00How could he possibly come to you for help?
07:03Well, I can't just sit around here and wait for the police to find them.
07:06I need to go.
07:09I know.
07:23I know.
07:30I know.
07:33I know you're wrong to see him.
07:48It's ok. You can look.
07:53When did you start cutting yourself?
07:56After my mum left.
07:58Dad could barely look at me.
08:02As if mum leaving was my fault.
08:06She didn't love me enough to stay so...
08:11Maybe he has a point.
08:15I couldn't bear anyone at school finding out.
08:20Feeling sorry for me or laughing at me.
08:25What did it feel like?
08:30Were you scared?
08:32Not at all.
08:34It felt like release.
08:39I can show you.
08:41If you like.
08:58I can't do it.
09:11You're scared.
09:12I can't do it.
09:14Like you could have a balance of your hand.
09:19You need to take you.
09:24Yes, that's okay.
09:25I'm sorry.
10:00Where do you want to go next?
10:03We could drive around and see where we end up.
10:05Um, yeah, I don't know.
10:08You want to go back?
10:10No.
10:14I don't know. Not yet, but...
10:16Well, after everything that's happened.
10:18It's okay, yeah, we'd figure it out.
10:24Promise?
10:30I know where we can go.
10:42I just need a few minutes in a room.
10:45No, it's against school policy.
10:47Not to mention an abuse of Cressida's rights.
10:51Your rights?
10:53I have a responsibility to these kids.
10:55It's my job to protect them.
10:57Two minutes.
10:58I won't tell anyone, I swear.
11:03I know I have no right to ask you to trust me.
11:06One of my students is dead because of you.
11:08You have no right.
11:09I've fucked up.
11:10And I'm sorry.
11:13I'm not asking as a friend.
11:15I'm asking as a mother.
11:18She wants to punish me.
11:20And yes, I deserve it.
11:22But Sam does it.
11:25I can't lose it.
11:27Please.
11:29Please.
11:47I'll fill the van up.
11:48Why don't you go in and see what food there is?
11:51Yeah, sure.
12:18Helen, we have to be quick.
12:25What do you think you're going to find?
12:28I don't know.
12:29Anything that won't give me a clue as to where she's going.
12:38She looks like a different girl.
12:40So happy.
12:42Yeah, you joined the school just after Mrs. Bancroft jumped ship.
12:47Walked out of a daughter's life and never looked back.
12:55I've often thought that it'd have been better for Cressida if her mother had died.
13:00Still awful, but just less rejection.
13:13Oh, God.
13:23You know, earlier, in the hotel, when you asked about my scars, have you ever thought about it?
13:36Things, um, things got pretty heavy at my old school.
13:41Is that what you transferred?
13:49Have you ever, um, gone too far?
13:53You mean, like, tried to end things?
13:56Yeah.
13:57Sometimes it just feels like it would be if...
14:01Easier?
14:03Yeah.
14:06The thought of having to go on just feels so...
14:11Heavy.
14:14I'm so sick of hearing people say that you've got your whole life ahead of you.
14:20Like it's exciting.
14:23The future's not even real.
14:26It's just a big black hole.
14:32Does that sound crazy?
14:34No.
14:36I get it.
14:40You know, my dad tried sending me to therapy.
14:45God forbid he actually talks to me himself.
14:50The psychologist tried to convince me things would get better.
14:57Do you think they will?
15:01No.
15:04We can try and ignore it, but...
15:07It will never stop hurting.
15:18Um, I'm going to go to the bathroom before we head off.
15:23Mm-hmm.
15:47All right.
15:51Yeah.
15:54Like...
15:58Mm.
16:00Hmm.
16:00Mm.
16:02Mm.
16:04Mm.
16:05Mm.
16:17Let's go.
16:47Let's go.
17:17Let's go.
18:14Let's go.
18:17Let's go.
18:48Let's go.
19:21Let's go.
19:36Let's go.
19:52Let's go.
19:59Let's go.
20:01Let's go.
20:02Let's go.
20:04Let's go.
20:04Let's go.
20:05Let's go.
20:07Let's go.
20:14Let's go.
20:15Let's go.
20:18Let's go.
20:24Let's go.
20:27Let's go.
20:31Let's go.
20:47We still go on holidays here.
20:49Dad would go hunting with his army mates.
20:53And me and my mum would chill by the house and swim in the lake.
20:59I feel being here would make me feel closer to her again.
21:04Does she ever get in touch?
21:07I guess the stepkids keep her busy.
21:20Is that okay?
22:01What happened to you all at school?
22:15I got accused of sexual assault, he was my best friend, but he wanted it to be more,
22:30you know, we both did. But then at this party, somebody walked in on us, and Jackson made
22:47out like I'd forced myself on him. I mean, from that point on, I was fully cancelled at school.
23:01His mates used to follow me home, and they would beat me up a couple of times, and then
23:12one time after swim practice, somebody pissed all over my clothes. I mean, stuff on socials
23:21was...
23:22What did your mum say?
23:26She apologised to him, and his family.
23:33Are you serious?
23:35We never even talked about it. And like, she's not great on feelings and that, but...
23:46it's just like how she was when Dad told me.
23:51What?
23:54He had a nervous breakdown, and, uh, Mum just checked out and walked away.
24:09Even if you could talk to her, she wouldn't get what you're going through.
24:16I guess no one can ever really fully understand what anyone else is going through.
24:24At the end of the day, we're all just...
24:28alone.
24:31Dealing with our own shit.
24:34Until the lives go out for good.
24:45What if it gets too heavy?
24:47.
24:49.
24:49.
24:50.
24:50.
24:50.
24:50.
25:17I don't want to be here anymore.
25:19Okay. Where do you want to go?
25:23I don't want to be anywhere anymore.
25:30Come with me.
25:34We'll do it together.
25:50Has anyone heard from Presider? Or my son, Sam Simpson?
25:57Helen, this really isn't appropriate.
25:59You're going to lecture me on what's appropriate.
26:02Does anyone know where they are?
26:04Do you know this place?
26:09Look at it. Really look at it.
26:11No?
26:12Miles?
26:18No?
26:22Look, I know...
26:25I know you kids don't owe me anything.
26:28But this isn't about me.
26:30If you hear from either of them, will you please tell Tessa?
26:36Miss Stewart?
26:42Look, I'll show you out.
26:47I know where the door is.
26:55You should go home, Helen.
26:57It won't do you any good to be seen there.
26:59Oh, save your faux concern.
27:03We both know you.
27:04You're just looking out for number one because that's all you ever do.
27:08Yeah, I made mistakes, but I am not the only one.
27:12You can let them dictate the syllabus, but that doesn't make you a good teacher.
27:18They need guidance, not someone who's going to let them sneak alcohol into the Easter Ball
27:22and then cover up a drugs overdose to save his own skin.
27:26Instead of helping Leo Dalton grieve his best friend, you made him keep your secret.
27:30Tormenting Leo to cover your tracks?
27:33You are a disgrace.
27:36D. Rainford Thomas deserved better.
27:41For both of us.
27:45My office.
27:47Now!
27:56When Terry got sick, you were done in.
28:00That doesn't make you a bad person.
28:07I don't think Terry would agree.
28:14And you all wasn't being fair.
28:18Resenting him.
28:21It was cruel.
28:22I couldn't stop myself.
28:28I should have seen what it was doing to Sam.
28:35My son wanted to kill himself.
28:38Then he couldn't talk to me.
28:40Oh, please, come here, come here.
28:42Come here.
29:01You know that picture he showed us?
29:02I think I know where it is.
29:05It's where Cressida had her 16th birthday, isn't it?
29:08It's one of her family's holiday homes near Buxton.
29:11Were you there?
29:12For her birthday?
29:14Yeah, yeah.
29:14I'll text you for your address.
29:15Come on.
29:16Go.
29:21Go, go.
29:32This way.
29:34Let's go.
30:04Let's go.
30:39Let's go.
30:41Let's go.
30:49Let's go.
30:53Come on.
30:55Let's go.
30:56Let's go.
30:58Let's go.
30:58Let's go.
31:00Let's go.
31:01Let's go.
31:06Let's go.
31:08Let's go.
31:09Let's go.
31:10Let's go.
31:13Let's go.
31:13Let's go.
31:16Let's go.
31:18Let's go.
31:20Let's go.
31:21Let's go.
31:21Let's go.
31:22Let's go.
31:22Let's go.
31:22Let's go.
31:38Let's go.
31:39Let's go.
31:39Let's go.
31:40Let's go.
31:41Let's go.
31:51Let's go.
31:52Let's go.
31:58Let's go.
32:04Let's go.
32:06Let's go.
32:12No.
32:13Wait.
32:15I can't watch you die.
32:18It's okay.
32:21You don't have to.
32:23You can go first.
32:31It's easy.
32:52Let's go.
33:11Let's go.
33:19It's normal.
33:21Just think.
33:23We'll be free.
33:27From all the pain.
33:35I won't let you suffer.
33:58Just let go, Sam.
34:04Sam!
34:06Do it, Sam.
34:07She doesn't deserve you.
34:11This is the only way we could be free.
34:13Like Dean.
34:31I don't know.
34:34Sam! No!
34:41Samy.
34:43Samy.
34:44Look at me.
34:45Let the gun down.
34:49Please, Sam, whatever's going on, we can fix it
34:53You can't fix anything
34:54You're the problem, you did this to him
34:57I found the letter
34:59The one you wrote after me and your dad split up
35:02I'm sorry I didn't realise how much pain you were in
35:05That's because you can't see anyone but yourself
35:07Sam, I need you to listen to me now
35:08I don't know what she said to you to make you feel like this is the only way
35:12But she's wrong
35:14We'll find someone for you to talk to
35:16A professional
35:17Because you don't want to hear it
35:18No, no, I'll be there every step of the way if you let me
35:21She's lying
35:22I let you down
35:24I know that when I left your father but that was about me
35:28You just walked away
35:29Not from you
35:30Dad needed help but you just left
35:32It was selfish
35:35And I'm so sorry if it made you feel you couldn't show me that you were hurting
35:39I love you, Sam, more than anything
35:42There is nothing you can do or say to me that will change that
35:47Nothing
35:48What about Jackson?
35:51How you blamed him?
35:56I didn't
35:57You apologised to the other boy's family
36:00As if Sam had done something wrong
36:01You should have been on his side
36:03Part of Herbert believes that you assaulted that boy
36:06That you were capable of that
36:08She was disgusted by you
36:11Sam
36:13Sam, I wasn't
36:17I should never have apologised to Jackson's family
36:19I was wrong to make you think I wasn't on your side
36:23And I was wrong to walk away from our family
36:27I should have fought for her
36:28But I am here
36:31Now
36:34I'm here now
36:36I'm not going anywhere
36:42Please let me make this right
36:46Sam
36:52I love you
36:59I'm sorry, baby
37:01I'm so sorry
37:04All right
37:05All right
37:09All right
37:10It's all right
37:11It's going to be all right
37:12It's all right
37:15I'm sorry, baby
37:16I'm so sorry
37:23I told you I wasn't going to let you suffer
37:26I'm not going to let you get dragged into a life
37:28Of pain and misery
37:30With someone who lies
37:31And manipulates you into thinking
37:33She cares
37:35Playing happy families
37:36When it's all lies
37:37Sam, go and wait in the car
37:39This has never been about him
37:42Let him go
37:48Sam
37:50Sam, go
37:52Sam, go
38:13So that was the plan
38:15Get Sam to kill himself
38:17To punish me
38:19I'm not going to let you hurt him anymore
38:24It's over, Cressida
38:27Don't make things any worse for yourself
38:28Put the gun down
38:29Let me help you
38:31You don't want to help me
38:35I know I made mistakes
38:36I'm not denying that
38:40I failed, Dee
38:42Because I didn't see them
38:45And I didn't see you
38:49But I see you now
38:52I see you
38:56You need help
38:58Cressida
38:59Proper help
39:00If you do this
39:01You will spend the best years of your life
39:03Behind bars
39:07For what?
39:09Your parents have really taken so much from you
39:13You don't know what you're talking about
39:14I know your mum walked out on her family
39:16Just like I did
39:18But taking it out on me
39:19Won't bring her back
39:21I left my husband
39:23Because I was scared
39:25Of his vulnerability
39:28It had nothing to do with Sam
39:31None of it was his fault
39:36So many people
39:38Have let you down
39:43Me included
39:55I'm sorry
40:02Please let's stop
40:09Do you really think
40:11I'm going to fall for that
40:13Sentimental
40:14Bullshit
40:15No
40:27Do you think you've won?
40:33This is going to fall for you
40:35Forever
40:39No
40:40Cressida

41:15It's okay
41:19It's all right
41:38Sammy just called
41:39He's staying at Leo's tonight
41:40After the gig
41:44I don't know why we should get going
41:47I'm sure you want me to come with you
41:48I can cancel my shift
41:49This is something I need to do on my own
42:19I need to do on my own
42:21store
42:24Please
42:25It's okay
42:26I'll cut
42:27Just go
42:27Just put this
42:27To check
42:28Just put this
42:28Shit
42:29Do you want to
42:30Green
42:32No
42:32It's right
42:35No
42:35It's fine
42:36It's all
42:36It's
42:37You
42:42You
42:42Nobody
42:42Floals
42:43They
42:43They
42:45You
42:50How are you?
42:55Look around.
43:00Why did you invite me here, Cressida?
43:07Why did you come?
