00:08He lied to the police, obstructed an investigation and a vulnerable student took their own life.
00:14No more lies, Mrs Simpson. You're going to tell us what happened.
00:57No more lies, Mrs Simpson.
01:00No more lies, Mrs Simpson.
01:30No more lies, Mrs Simpson.
02:02All right!
02:42Good. You get in, you shut the door.
02:46I know how yesterday looks, but if I could explain...
02:49What the hell were you thinking?
02:50It wasn't out of nowhere. Cressida has been targeting me for weeks.
02:56Sorry, something funny.
02:58Oh, you make it sound like you're the victim of a 17-year-old child.
03:02She is not just a child.
03:04She has been bullying me, Simon.
03:06Just little jabs at first, criticisms, whispers.
03:10Oh, so normal teaching then?
03:11Undermining me in front of others, but it quickly got out of hand. More hostile like the petition.
03:16I'm not talking about Cressida, Helen. I'm talking about Dee.
03:19I knew about that recording.
03:25She threatened me with it. She tried to blackmail me.
03:28Just...
03:28Ashley, Sebastian, would you mind?
03:35What was... what was he even doing here?
03:38Due to the severity of your actions, the guidelines state that your responsibilities be reassigned while under investigation.
03:46You're giving him my job?
03:48Yes, Helen, I am suspending you.
03:50I have no choice while we investigate your actions.
03:53I know. I made a mistake, and I'm...
03:56Do you really think your words to a vulnerable child, a child who then took their own life, can be
04:02described as a mistake?
04:11We have a duty of care, Helen, which you totally and utterly neglected.
04:18Please, Simon, just hear me out.
04:20Oh, I've heard enough.
04:24I think we all have.
04:34Hookson suspended me.
04:36Good.
04:37It's not what it looks like.
04:39So you didn't say those things, then?
04:42Yes. Yes, I did, but I...
04:44Well...
04:46I am absolutely broken about what happened, but she...
04:50They!
04:53They were just a child.
04:55You know, I told you those things in confidence, and you used them to go around...
05:00No, no, not the...
05:00I meant Cressida.
05:01It's just a child too, Helen.
05:04From a broken family.
05:06I mean, do you really not understand how that can affect children?
05:09You!
05:10Really?
05:12She needs support.
05:14Not whatever this is.
05:18On the day that we found it, I told you that it was my fault.
05:26That I'd failed them.
05:29I took responsibility.
05:34And you let me.
05:38Yes, I'm so sorry.
05:40Are you?
05:41Are you sorry you just got caught?
06:01So, from now on, we'll be using my student-led learning method.
06:09You guys get a say.
06:11The reading list, for example.
06:13Let's get more voices from the margins.
06:16Queer writers.
06:17Diverse texts.
06:18Authentic representation.
06:34Leo?
06:36Sorry, are you busy?
06:46So, as I was saying, I want you guys to take more control.
06:51Take the reins.
06:55Leo?
06:56Everything okay?
06:57Yeah.
06:58Everything's worked out just great, hasn't it?
07:00For you.
07:01Oh, come on, Leo.
07:02Don't go like that.
07:03You think I wanted this?
07:05I'm just stepping up where I'm needed.
07:08See you, Cookson.
07:10Leo?
07:11That's not a good idea.
07:13Look, if it's a shit, what happens to me?
07:15They get expelled, it'll be a relief.
07:18Like I've got nothing to lose.
07:19Can't say the same for you, though, can I?
07:20Look, you're mad at the wrong person here.
07:25It wasn't me that pushed them over the edge.
07:28We both know who did.
07:31Maybe we should stop blaming ourselves.
07:47You think you're touted?
07:53Hey, bitch.
07:54First of all, Chris, yeah?
07:59Did you really get fired?
08:02No, no, it's suspended.
08:05So what happens to me?
08:06Yeah, because I can't stay here and potentially go viral for telling me to kill themselves.
08:11Sam, I get that things are tough right now.
08:14I get it.
08:14Well, after everything that happened at my last school.
08:17This is hell for me, one.
08:20And it's your fault.
08:20Sam.
08:21No.
08:21Sam, wait, please.
08:23No, actually.
08:23Sam.
08:24Just stay the fuck away from me.
08:25Sam.
08:37Hey.
08:40Apparently I'm some kind of raging turf bigot now.
08:45How are you holding up?
08:49No one's asked me that.
08:51No?
08:52Feels like no one cares.
08:55Well, you don't always make it easy.
09:01Sam told me what happened.
09:04Yep.
09:05So now it's a disciplinary, and the police want to speak to me again.
09:09Right.
09:11Why?
09:12More questions about D, about Cressida, about all of it.
09:18Whatever happens, just give them what they want.
09:20If it all goes tits up, fuck it.
09:22Maybe it's for the best.
09:23Just walk away from it all.
09:23I won't give up.
09:25I won't give up my life.
09:26Fine.
09:27What about Sam's?
09:28All you have to just chuck that down the drain like you did with mine.
09:31Like you did with ours.
09:33It's time to go.
09:33Oh, more than happy to.
09:37Oh.
09:38Did you hear from him yet?
09:40Sam, no.
09:41Why?
09:41He's at mine, just so you know.
09:43And he's staying there.
10:11You dropped this earlier.
10:14Thought you might need it.
10:15The truth can be painful, can't it?
10:18I gave you the exam papers.
10:19You deleted that video.
10:20We had a deal.
10:21You really think I wouldn't have kept it back up?
10:23Well, that's actually kind of sweet.
10:25This is not a fucking game, Cressida.
10:26This is my life.
10:27I'm warning you.
10:30What?
10:30What are you going to do?
10:32Put me in detention again?
10:34Oh, wait.
10:35You can't do that anymore, can you?
10:37Let me know when you've figured it out.
11:01Let me know when you've figured it out.
11:08Let me know when you've figured it out.
12:02Let me know when you've figured it out.
12:08I don't know.
12:44I don't know.
13:09I don't know.
13:11I don't know.
13:12I don't know.
13:17Hey.
13:18Hey!
13:21Look, I know your mum and I have our drama,
13:24and this isn't my place to say it, but I-
13:26Didn't you start a petition to get us out?
13:29Oh, yeah.
13:32Which is why I wanted to see if you were all right.
13:35I mean, because it's okay, if you're not.
13:43This sucks.
13:46You getting caught up in all of this.
13:47But there's something I want to say, if you'll hear me out.
13:52D, U, Leo, it's unfair.
13:57You're people who get torn apart just for being who they are.
14:02And that's wrong.
14:03All it takes is for someone to see you for who you are.
14:13Come on, I'll walk with you.
14:19Help me
14:27It's about time you don't want to fight your own back.
14:29Because out there, in the real world, there is no one in your corner.
14:33You are alone.
14:34And if you go on the handle, you might have to...
14:37Give yourself now.
14:38Because if you're gonna get...
14:39...everything you're gonna get...
14:40...your parents...
14:42...you're gonna get...
14:43...you're gonna get...
14:44...you're gonna get...
14:49...out there...
14:50...there is no...
14:52...you're gonna...
14:53...you're gonna get...
14:55...you're gonna get...
15:00...so why did you leave your school?
15:03Uh, just...
15:04...you know, stuff...
15:07...dram...
15:07Bad stuff?
15:10Uh, I don't really want to talk about it...
15:12...if that's okay?
15:13Sure, of course. Sorry.
15:16What was it like, though?
15:17My school? So different to this.
15:19It was just like a normal state school, so...
15:21...no squash courts, no borders...
15:23...I mean, half the windows didn't even open.
15:25What? No equestrian centre?
15:28So...
15:29...we're supposed to just ignore the fact that...
15:31...your dad is a walkerman.
15:32So much for being an ally.
15:34You feel a shit, Bancroft.
15:45This is brilliant!
15:48Oh, who did this?
15:50I'll send one to my dad!
15:52It's true.
15:53Of course it's true.
15:55Why do you think I hate them so much?
15:58But just because your parents are complete flats...
16:00...doesn't mean that you should have to take the stick for it.
16:03Right, Sam?
16:06Christina?
16:07Yes, sir?
16:08Mr. Cookson wants to see you.
16:20Oh, you've figured out how to use Google.
16:22Well done.
16:22You've got one already.
16:24Good.
16:24Yes, thank you.
16:25Don't worry, I'll recycle it.
16:27Your dad funds regimes that execute the kids you pretend to fight for.
16:32Impressive.
16:33Most scandals are hiding in plain sight.
16:36Is that really the best you can do?
16:37No.
16:38That's waiting for you in there.
16:40Let's see how much you care about the truth.
16:49What's Miss Simpson doing here, sir?
16:51It doesn't make me feel very safe.
16:54This isn't about Miss Simpson, Cressida.
16:57This is about you.
17:00Your detention with Dee.
17:02You recorded it.
17:04But you didn't report it.
17:06Why?
17:10I...
17:12I should have.
17:15But...
17:16I was scared.
17:20I've been targeted by Miss Simpson since term started because I questioned her lack of respect.
17:29Miss Gendering Dee.
17:32I filmed the detention, hoping that she'd reflect.
17:37So that she'd see.
17:42But...
17:42I...
17:43I...
17:47I...
17:47I was just trying to help.
17:51So you didn't use it...
17:55To blackmail her for these?
18:03No.
18:05Then what were they doing in your dorm?
18:09Oh...
18:12I...
18:12I've no idea, sir.
18:15Probably put there by the same person who made this.
18:19She hates me.
18:23I'm telling you, I'm being targeted.
18:26And...
18:27I've worked so hard and it's not fair.
18:31I'm being punished.
18:33I'm bullied by a person in power and...
18:38I...
18:39I...
18:39I...
18:40I don't know how much...
18:42How...
18:44I don't know how much more I can take.
18:48I've...
18:49I really understand why Dee did what they...
18:54Okay, look.
18:56I know that this is an incredibly upsetting time.
19:02So we call this a warning.
19:04Alright?
19:05Alright.
19:09Thank you, Mr. Cookson.
19:16I, um...
19:17I hope Miss Simpson gets the help she needs.
19:20Okay.
19:36You're sorry.
19:37No...
19:38Ah...
19:38No...
19:40Fuck.
19:48Leo?
19:49Leo, please, you don't want to do this.
19:51Don't I?
19:53Leo, whatever it is, let's talk.
19:56Okay, let's talk about D.
19:58How they were finally starting to fall out themselves.
20:00And then you came along and fucked it all up.
20:03Told them to toughen up or die.
20:04I was trying to help.
20:05How the fuck is that helping?
20:06Because life is tough, Leo.
20:08You have to be able to fight your own corner.
20:10So that's your job, is it?
20:11What, to break us in?
20:12No, my job is to prepare you.
20:15Look, I should never have said what I did to D.
20:19But telling you kids everything you want to hear, like Blake does?
20:24Wrapping you up in cotton wool just to win your approval?
20:26That's not teaching.
20:28That's negligence.
20:31Why are you talking about Blake?
20:34What's he said?
20:35What?
20:36You know about the ball.
20:37About what he did, about what...
20:41About what I did.
20:44No, Leo, I honestly don't.
20:48But you can tell me.
20:51If you want to.
20:52You can tell me.
21:02Puss.
21:15He was struggling
21:17Stuff at home, parents
21:20And the ball was meant to be
21:22Fun
21:26So we'd snuck some drinks in
21:28Blake was cool with it
21:29He was always trying to impress us like that
21:32But D, they were just so...
21:36Wrecked
21:38So I thought
21:39Maybe if they stopped thinking
21:42They'd chill out
21:45So I gave them
21:51It was an accident
21:57D just went white
22:00I started shaking in their eyes
22:02Blake, what did Blake do?
22:04He cleaned it up
22:07Kept it quiet
22:07Told me not to say anything
22:08But he just wouldn't leave it alone
22:10He kept pushing me
22:12Liam, I won't say anything
22:14You can't, he's right
22:15If I get expelled after everything
22:16You were trying to help
22:18You care about your friends
22:20I saw it with D
22:22And I see it with Sam
22:32Can you get rid of this for me?
22:35Please?
22:50Hey Sam
22:54Can I ask you a thing?
22:57Uh...
22:58Yeah?
22:59Yeah sure, what's up?
23:11You've got 150 windows open
23:14And it's brave
23:15Or lazy
23:17Okay rude
23:22You know a few of us
23:23Are heading out tonight
23:25To celebrate D
23:28You wanna come?
23:30No
23:30I'll buy you a drink
23:31As a thanks
23:33Uh, yeah
23:34Yeah sure, maybe
23:35I'm just
23:36Not exactly sure
23:37I'd be welcome
23:38Plus
23:39I was supposed to be going to see Leo
23:43Honestly Sam
23:44Honestly Sam
23:44Just forget him
23:46It's his loss anyway
23:48Is it?
23:49Yeah
23:50It's Leo
23:51He's like
23:52A lot
23:53Ooh it's so much drama
23:55You seem genuine
23:56You deserve better
24:05We're in?
24:11A lot of ideas
24:14I would love you
24:16I would love you
24:23I'd love you
24:24He'd love you
24:24Want me to miss
24:24today
24:26Sh Decky
24:27Woo
24:28Woo
24:30Rio
24:30We-
24:39I'll pick youうわ
24:51Sorry, isn't this kind of in bad taste?
24:54No!
24:55Gene loved it, hey.
24:57They want us to have fun.
24:58Come on.
25:11Come on.
25:47Oh, fuck.
25:54Why is it, Alan?
25:55Cressida is going after Sam.
25:57She's targeting him.
25:59He's out with her right now.
26:01It's not just her, is it?
26:02It's a thing for Dean.
26:04Then why has she just sent me a photo of them kissing?
26:07What photo?
26:08I'll forward it to you.
26:14It's gone.
26:15She deleted it.
26:16She was ridiculous.
26:17She is using him to get to me.
26:19You have to put a stop to it.
26:21Look, I was sorted.
26:22How?
26:26He bought her home?
26:28I said I was sorted.
26:29I said I was doing it.
26:29It's a shame.
26:30I said I was to put a stop to it.
26:41I said I was in.
26:55Come in.
27:00How was it?
27:02Yeah. Yeah, it was cool.
27:06Nice to be with friends and remember Dee.
27:11Well, no, you're ready to head off and I'll call you a taxi.
27:14Actually, I was thinking maybe she could stay.
27:17No, no, not tonight, son. I don't think that's a very good idea.
27:21Why?
27:23Your mum won't be very happy given everything that's gone.
27:28Okay, she doesn't need to know.
27:33Look, I know all about your little photo.
27:36The one you sent to wind up Helen, you two kissing and whatnot.
27:40I didn't send anything.
27:43I swear.
27:47She's lying.
27:50Come on, son.
27:51How else would your mum know?
27:55I'm sorry, maybe I should just go.
27:57No, I want you to stay.
27:58Your mum just doesn't want you getting hurt.
28:00Okay, so maybe she should stop trying to ruin my life.
28:03I mean, first she drags me to this school and then drops a bomb on it.
28:08Wrecked my own friendship.
28:09Bought me somebody to suicide.
28:10Dads.
28:13And now this.
28:15Have you seen the photo?
28:21I want you to leave then.
28:24Sammy, go!
29:00My mum left three years ago.
29:04Just walked.
29:07Didn't even pack.
29:11I woke up one day and there was one last place set at the breakfast table.
29:19No one said anything.
29:23That was it.
29:25No, no, no.
29:27Goodbye.
29:30I was...
29:33Sorry.
29:37Your mum might be a fucking mess.
29:40At least she's still around.
29:46I'd kill it to have fun.
30:09I'm sorry.
30:11I'm...
30:12It's just this has happened before.
30:15I trusted somebody and I thought I knew them, but...
30:21Turns out I didn't.
30:23Like, at all.
30:29I just...
30:29I really don't want to get it wrong again.
30:35You won't.
30:38You can trust me.
30:42Careful.
31:09I don't want to die.
32:48Sam?
32:50Sam, can we talk?
32:53Sammy, I'm coming in.
32:57Oh my gosh.
32:59Sorry, why didn't you say you were in here?
33:10You okay?
33:11I can't.
33:13Your dad just walked in on me getting changed.
33:16Hey.
33:18I'm sure he just didn't realise.
33:22He was hovering outside the bathroom yesterday too.
33:27He really creeped me out.
33:30Right, um, well he's taking me to work later, after school, so I can talk to him then if you
33:37want.
33:38No, it's fine.
33:40I'm probably just being paranoid.
33:43Ignore me.
34:17what do you want then
34:19oh to cry about Sam
34:22I called your dad
34:26I was going to send him the photos you sent me
34:29and took screenshots
34:31before you could delete them
34:33it's illegal
34:34to share sex pics and nudes
34:36especially without the consent of your partner
34:38I wonder what the police
34:40and school senior management team will make of it
34:43who the fuck do you think you are
34:45don't worry
34:46your daddy didn't care to talk to me
34:48or care to hear about you
34:51rather
34:52all your drama and chaos
34:55it isn't activism
34:57it's performance
34:58it's a desperate cry for attention
35:01from a father who couldn't even be asked to take my call
35:04does he even take your calls
35:06or do you get put on hold of it
35:07shut up
35:09he didn't give a shit
35:10does he let you go home in the holidays
35:11or are you one of those rejects that gets abandoned on campus
35:14because you don't go to your mum's
35:16how is your mum
35:18by the way
35:19you don't know anything about me
35:21I know you think you're in control
35:22but all I see
