00:08You
00:30I
00:30I
00:30I
00:30I
00:30I
00:30I
00:30I
00:30I
00:30I
00:30I
00:59I
00:59I
01:00Sam
01:02Are you there?
01:06Sweetheart, please talk to me. I just want to make things right
01:39Excuse me. Helen, how are you? Top of the world. Yeah, you and Cressida came to woes. She attacked me.
01:48Let the Cheetham Hall jungle drums know, will you? People are gonna gossip. They might as well get their facts
01:53straight. And yes, I said jungle drums. Good luck with the meeting. We both know you don't mean that.
02:00Do you? It's not like you've ever made the wrong call about something. Made an error of judgment that could
02:06cost you everything if word got out. Helen. You're worried I'm gonna drag you down with me. You should be.
02:11I'm a menopausal woman full of bitterness and rage. Who knows what I might let slip.
02:17I
02:25I
02:25I
02:25Right, I'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 Cheetham 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.
02:53Because I refused to sanitize their education.
02:55A child died, Helen.
02:57You 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, but the police are here to speak to Cressida Bancroft about the alleged assault.
03:16Which is missing?
03:17Reception called looking for you, Helen.
03:20There's been an incident.
03:21It's Terry.
03:36It's Terry.
03:38What are you doing?
03:41I'm just calling my dad.
03:45I've probably gone by before.
03:47What's 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, are you still my dad?
04:00He attacked me, Sam.
04:02Or have you forgotten that?
04:04No, of course not.
04:05I'm sorry.
04:08I need to feel safe with you.
04:14I thought you were on my side.
04:16I am.
04:18Yeah, of course I am.
04:20I'm just...
04:22I'm messed up.
04:24You know?
05:00The police called the school and said you were in here.
05:02What 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, claiming Miss Simpson had hit
05:24her.
05:25That is a lie.
05:26Yeah.
05:27Sammy 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.
05:40No, no.
05:40He'd already left.
05:41So 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.
06:00Given 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 at help.
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.
07:16It's okay.
07:19You can look.
07:21When did you start quitting yourself?
07:23After my mum left.
07:26Dad could barely look at me.
07:30As if mum leaving was my fault.
07:34She didn't love me enough to stay, so...
07:38Maybe he has a break.
07:42I couldn't bear anyone at school finding out.
07:46Feeling sorry for me.
07:48Or 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.
08:10If you like.
08:58No, he's empty.
09:23Why do you want to go next?
09:25We could drive around and see where we end up.
09:27Um, I don't know.
09:30He wants to go back.
09:32No.
09:36I don't know.
09:37Not yet, but...
09:38What, after everything that's happened?
09:40It's okay.
09:41I'll need to figure it out.
09:46Promise?
09:51I know where we can go.
10:03I just need a few minutes in a room.
10:05No.
10:06It's against school policy.
10:07Not to mention an abuse of Cressida's rights.
10:11No 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.
10:23I 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, I'm asking as a mother.
10:37She wants to punish me.
10:38And yes, I deserve it.
10:40But Sam doesn't.
10:43I can't lose it.
10:45Please.
10:47Please.
11:05I'll fill the van out.
11:06Why don't you go in and see what food there is?
11:08Yeah.
11:09Sure.
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 might 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 would have been better for Cressida if her mother had died.
12:13Still awful.
12:15Just less rejection.
12:26Gone.
12:27Gone.
12:28Gone.
12:29Gone.
12:31Gone.
12:34Gone.
12:36You know earlier?
12:38In the hotel, when you asked about my scars?
12:43Have you ever thought about it?
12:48things um things got pretty heavy at my old school is that what he transferred
13:01have you ever um gone too far you mean like tried to end things yeah sometimes it just
13:09feels like it would be easier yeah the thought of having to go on just feels so heavy
13:25i'm so sick of hearing people say that you've got your whole life ahead of you
13:30it's like it's exciting the future's not even real it's just a big black hole
13:42does that sound crazy no i get it
13:50you 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

16:10I don't know.
16:44I don't know.
17:05I don't know.
17:06I just need to know he's okay.
17:10I'm sorry.
17:11Alright, I'm sorry about everything.
17:13Just please...
17:14Please don't hurt him.
17:15No!
17:45No!
18:15No!
18:19No!
18:20No!
18:24No!
18:24No!
18:27No!
18:29He must have written it after he and Jackson, after the unit.
18:34He never finished it.
18:36He started it.
18:37He thought about it.
18:39How could we have missed this?
18:41We're his parents.
18:43We're supposed to know.
18:44We should have seen it.
18:45I should have seen it.
18:49It's not too late.
18:51What if he doesn't come back?
18:54He will come back.
18:55How do you know?
19:39We're still going on holidays, here.
19:41Dad would go hunting with his army mates
19:45And me and my mum would chill by the house and swim the lake
19:50I'm sure being here would make me feel closer to her again
19:55Does she ever get in touch?
19:58I guess the step kids keep her busy
20:33I guess the step kids keep her busy
20:50What happened that you went to school?
21:03I got accused of sexual assault
21:10He was my best friend
21:13But like
21:16He wanted it to be more
21:18You know we both did
21:21But then at this party
21:26Somebody walked in on us
21:28And um
21:33Jackson made out like I'd forced myself on him
21:40And from that point on I was
21:43Fully cancelled at school
21:47His mates used to follow me home
21:49And um
21:52They would beat me up a couple of times
21:54And then
21:57One time after swim practice
21:59Somebody pissed all of my clothes
22:02And the stuff on socials
22:07What did your mum say?
22:12She 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
22:26But
22:30She's like how she was when Dad told me
22:35What?
22:37He had a nervous breakdown
22:40And mum just checked 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
23:00Understand what anyone else is going through
23:06At the end of the day
23:07We're all just
23:10Alone
23:13Dealing with our own shit
23:16Until the lights go out for good
23:26What 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
24:09Come with me
24:13We'll do it together
24:28Has anyone heard from Predator?
24:30Or my son Sam Simpson?
24:34Helen
24:36This really isn't appropriate
24:37You can election me on what's appropriate
24:39Does 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 of them
25:09Will you please tell Tessa?
25:13Miss Stuart
25:18I'll show you out
25:22I know where the door is
25:30You should go home
25:31You should go home Helen
25:32It won't do you any good to be seen there
25:34Save your foe concern
25:38We both know you
25:39You're just looking out for number one
25:40Because that's all you ever do
25:42Yeah I made mistakes
25:43But I am not the only one
25:47You can let them dictate the syllabus
25:49But that doesn't make you a good teacher
25:52They need guidance
25:53Not 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
26:01You made him keep your secret
26:03Tormenting Leo to cover your tracks
26:05You are a disgrace
26:09D.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
26:45And you all wasn't being fair
26:49Resenting him
26:52It was cruel
26:53I couldn't stop myself
26:58I should have seen what it was doing to Sam
27:05That Sam wanted to kill himself
27:08And he couldn't talk to me
27:10Oh please come here come here
27:12Come here
27:30You know that picture you showed us
27:31I think I don't know where it is
27:34It's where Cressida had her 16th birthday
27:37It's one of her family's holiday homes in Buxton
27:39Were you there?
27:41For her birthday?
27:42Yeah yeah
27:42I'll text your view address
27:44Come on
28:00This way
28:01This way
28:21This way
28:22I don't think I don't know where Bob
28:23I don't know who he's
28:23I don't know who he is
28:28I don't know who he is
28:32This way
28:33I don't know who he is
28:35He's
28:35He's
28:35He's
28:38He's
28:39And he's
28:54No 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.
29:21Come on.
29:29Come on.
29:30Come on.
29:32Come on.
29:33Come on.
29:36Come on.
29:37Come on.

30:03Come on.
30:10Come on.
30:13Come on.
30:24Come on.
30:25Come on.
30:55Come on.
30:55Come on.
30:55Come on.
30:58Come on.
31:00Come on.
31:12Come on.
31:30Come on.
31:32Come on.
31:35Come on.
31:35Come on.
31:37Come on.
32:02Come on.
32:02Come on.
32:29Come on.
32:46Come on.
32:46Come on.
32:47Come on.
32:49Come on.
32:56Come on.
32:58Come on.
33:00Come on.
33:03Come on.
33:19Come on.
33:20Come on.
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.
33:28Then you don't want to hear it.
33:29No.
33:30No, I'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 when I left your father, but that was about me.
33:38You just walked away.
33:40Not from you.
33:41Dad 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?
34:01Why you blamed him?
34:05I didn't.
34:06You apologized to the other boy's family as if Sam had done something wrong.
34:11You should have been on his side.
34:13Part of Herbert believes that you assaulted that boy.
34:15But you came out 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.
34:28I was wrong to make you think I wasn't on your side.
34:31And I was wrong to walk away from our family.
34:35I should have thought that I am here now.
34:41I'm here now.
34:43I'm not going anywhere.
34:49Please let me make me a friend.
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.
35:29I told you I wasn't going to let you suffer.
35:30Where is that?
35:31I'm not going to let you get dragged into a life of pain and misery with someone who lies
35:36and manipulates you into thinking she cares, playing happy families when it's all nice.
35:41Sam, go and wait in the car.
35:43This has never been about him.
35:47Let him go.
35:53Sam.
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.
36:24I'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.
36:42I failed, dear.
36:44Because I didn't see them.
36:46And I didn't see you.
36:51And 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 really 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.
37:18But 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 that.
37:30None of it was his fault.
37:35So many people have let you down.
37:41Let me in, Clint.
37:44Let me in, Clint.
37:53I'm sorry.
38:00Please, let's stop.
38:06Do you really think I'm going to fall for that sentimental potion?
38:12No.
38:24Don't you think you've won?
38:29This is going to fall for you forever.
38:35I'm freezing up.
38:38Sam!
38:39Sam!
38:42Don't be here.
38:43Sam, help!
38:48Sam!
38:49Sam!
38:50Sam!
38:57Come here!
38:58Come here!
38:59Sam!
39:03Stay here!
39:04Stay here!
39:05I'm calling an ambulance!
39:07It's okay.
39:31Sammy just called. He's staying at Leo's tonight after the gig.
39:37We should get going.
39:40I really want me to come with you. I can cancel my shift.
39:42This is something I need to do on my own.
40:32I can cancel my shift.
40:33I can cancel my shift.
40:39How are you?
40:44Look around.
40:49Why did you invite me here, Cressida?
40:56Why did you come? Guilty 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. I hope you have them.
41:18This is goodbye, Cressida. For good.
41:22Is it?
41:44Oh, I'm more late, Sam.
41:47I'm more late, Sam.
41:50I'm more late, Sam.
41:54I'm more late, Sam.
