00:56You
00:57Hi sweetheart
01:00Sam
01:02Are you there?
01:06Sweetheart, please talk to me
01:08I just want to make things right
01:11I
01:30I
01:38I
01:42I

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