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.
00:46No more lies, Mrs Simpson.
01:27No more lies, Mrs Simpson.
01:30No more lies, Mrs Simpson.
01:56Mrs Simpson.
01:57Yes, Mrs Simpson.
02:01No more lies, Mrs Simpson.
02:03All right!
02:32it's
02:41Good. 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.
02:52Cressida 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.
03:05She has been bullying me, Simon.
03:07Just 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.
03:15More hostile, like the petition.
03:16I'm not talking about Cressida, Helen.
03:17I'm talking about Dee.
03:19I knew about that recording.
03:25She threatened me with it. She tried to blackmail me.
03:27Jess.
03:29Actually, Sebastian, would you mind?
03:35What was he even doing here?
03:38Due to the severity of your actions, the guidelines state that your responsibilities be reassigned
03:44while 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.
03:54I 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,
04:02can be described as a mistake?
04:11We have a duty of care, Helen, which you totally and utterly neglected.
04:17Please, Simon, just hear me out.
04:20Oh, I've heard enough.
04:24I think we all have.
04:35Hookson suspended me.
04:36Good.
04:38It's not what it looks like.
04:39So you didn't say those things, then?
04:42Yes.
04:43Yes, I did.
04:46I am absolutely broken about what happened, but she...
04:50They!
04:54They were just a child.
04:55You know, I told you those things in confidence.
04:58And you used them to go around...
05:00I meant Cressida.
05:01It's just a child too, Helen.
05:03From 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 her...
05:21I told you...
05:23That it was my fault.
05:26That I'd failed, Ben.
05:29I took responsibility.
05:35And you let me.
05:38Yes, I'm so sorry.
05:40Are you?
05:41Are you sorry you just got caught?
06:01So?
06:02From now on,
06:03We'll be using my student-led learning method.
06:09You guys get to see.
06:11The reading list, for example.
06:13Let's get more voices from the margins.
06:16Queer writers.
06:17Diverse texts.
06:19Authentic representation.
06:34Leo.
06:36Sorry.
06:37Are you busy?
06:48Are you busy?
06:51Take the reins
06:55Leo
06:56Everything okay?
06:58Yeah, everything's worked out just great, hasn't it?
07:00For you
07:01Come on, Leo, don't be like that
07:03You think I wanted this?
07:05I'm just stepping up where I'm needed
07:08See you cook, sir
07:10Leo
07:11That's not a good idea
07:12Give a shit what happens to me
07:15Being expelled would be a relief
07:18Like I've got nothing to lose
07:19Can't say the same for you, though, can I?
07:20Look
07:23You're mad at the wrong person here
07:25It wasn't me that pushed them over the edge
07:28We both know who did
07:32Maybe we should stop blaming ourselves
07:47You think you're tough?
08:00Did you really get fired?
08:02No, no, it's suspended
08:05So what happens to me?
08:06Yeah, because I can't stay here
08:08And potentially didn't go viral
08:09For telling me to kill themselves
08:11Sam
08:12I get that things are tough right now
08:14I get it
08:14Well, after everything that happened
08:16At my last school
08:17This is hell
08:18For anyone
08:19And it's your fault
08:20Sam
08:21Sam, wait
08:22No, actually
08:23Sam
08:24Just stay the fuck away from me
08:25Sam
08:37Hey
08:40Apparently I'm some kind of raging turf bigger now
08:45Are you holding up?
08:49No one's asked me that
08:51No?
08:53Feels like no one cares
08:56Well
08:56You don't always make it easy
09:01Sam told me what happened
09:04Yep
09:04So now it's a disciplinary
09:07And the police want to speak to me again
09:09Right
09:11Why?
09:12More questions about
09:13Dee, about Cressida
09:14About all of it
09:18Whatever happens
09:18Just give them what they want
09:20If it all goes tits up
09:21Fuck it
09:22Maybe it's for the best
09:23Just walk away from it all
09:23I won't give up my life
09:26Fine
09:27What about Sam's?
09:28All you have is to just
09:29Chuck that down the drain
09:31Like you did with mine
09:31Like you did with ours
09:32It's time to go
09:33Oh, more than happy, Sue
09:37Oh
09:38Did you hear from him yet?
09:40Sam, no
09:41Why?
09:41He's at mine
09:42Just 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
10:17Can't it?
10:18I gave you the exam papers
10:19You deleted that video
10:20We had a deal
10:21You really think
10:22I 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
10:34You can't do that anymore, can you?
10:37Let me know when you've figured it out
11:08I'll show you
11:09What are you going to do?
11:11Let me know when you want to do this
11:12I'll show you
11:12I will show you
11:12Be sure
11:13What are you going to do?
11:15You need to find out
11:17Let me know
11:18What are you going to do?
11:30I'm going to explain
11:30I'm going to be
14:02And that's wrong.
14:04All it takes is for someone to see you.
14:14I'll be right back.
15:01So why do you leave your school?
15:02I'll be right back.
15:14I'll be right back.
15:59I'll be right back.
16:08I'll be right back.
16:50I'll be right back.
17:14I'll be right back.
17:20I'll be right back.
17:26I'll be right back.
17:26I'll be right back.
17:32I'll be right back.
17:47I'll be right back.
17:51So you didn't use it to blackmail her for these?
18:03No.
18:05And what were they doing in your dorm?
18:12I have no idea, sir.
18:15Probably put there by the same person who made this.
18:19She hates me.
18:22I'm telling you I'm being targeted.
18:26And I've worked so hard and it's not fair.
18:31I'm being punished.
18:33I'm bullied by a person in power.
18:36And I don't know how much more I can take.
18:46Look, I really understand why D did what they...
18:54Okay, look.
18:56I know that this is an incredibly upsetting time.
19:02So we call this a warning.
19:04All right?
19:09Thank you, Mr. Cookson.
19:17I, um...
19:18I hope Miss Simpson gets the help she needs.
19:35Leo.
19:37Leo.
19:49Leo, please, you don't want to do this.
19:51Don't I?
19:54Leo, 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.
20:32Why are you talking about Blake?
20:34What's he said?
20:35What?
20:35You know about the bull?
20:38About what he did?
20:39About what I did?
20:44No, Leo, I honestly don't.
20:48But you can tell me.
20:51If you want to.
21:14He was struggling.
21:18Stuff at home, parents, and the bull was meant to be fun.
21:26So we'd snuck some drinks in.
21:28Blake was cool with it.
21:30He was always trying to impress us like that.
21:32But D, they were just so wrecked.
21:38So I thought, maybe if they stopped thinking, they'd chill out.
21:45So I gave them.
21:52It was an accident.
21:57D just went white.
22:01I started shaking in the rice.
22:02Blake, what did Blake do?
22:04Blake, what did Blake do?
22:04He cleaned it up.
22:07Kept it quiet.
22:08Told me not to say anything.
22:09But he just wouldn't leave it alone.
22:11Kept pushing me.
22:12Liam, I won't say anything.
22:14You can't.
22:15He'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 Dean.
22:23And I see it with Sam.
22:32Can you get rid of this for me?
22:34Please?
22:50Hey, Sam.
22:54Can I ask you a thing?
22:56Uh, yeah.
22:59Yeah, sure.
22:59What's up?
23:11You've got 150 windows open.
23:14I mean, it's brave.
23:15Or lazy.
23:17Okay, rude.
23:22You know a few of us are heading out tonight.
23:25To celebrate, do you?
23:28You want to come?
23:30I'll buy you a drink as a thanks.
23:33Uh, yeah.
23:34Yeah, sure.
23:35Maybe.
23:36I'm just not exactly sure I'd be welcome.
23:38Plus, I was supposed to be going to see Leo.
23:43Honestly, Sam.
23:44Just forget him.
23:46It's his loss, anyway.
23:48Is it?
23:49Yeah.
23:51It's Leo.
23:52He's, like, a lot.
23:54Oh, it's so much drama.
23:55You seem genuine.
23:57You deserve better.
23:58Yeah.
24:23Everyone, today!
24:27Today!
24:28Woo!
24:30Woo!
24:30Woo!
24:51Sorry, isn't this kind of in bad taste?
24:54No!
24:56Do you love it?
24:57Everyone has to have fun.
24:58Come on!
25:00Hey.
25:03Hey.

25:55The aggressor is going off to Sam. She's targeting him. He's out with her right now.
26:01Well, it's not just her, is it? It'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. She's ridiculous. She is using him to get to me. You have to put a stop to
26:21it.
26:21Look, I will sort it.
26:23How?
26:27He brought her home?

30:40you
30:53you
30:54I don't know.
31:24I don't know.
32:00I don't know.
32:11I don't know.
32:12I don't know.
32:17I don't know.
32:20I don't know.
32:48Sam?
32:50Sam, can we talk?
32:53Sam, I'm coming in.
32:58Oh, my gosh.
32:59Sorry.
33:00Why didn't you say you were in here?
33:10You okay?
33:11You okay?
33:12I can't.
33:13Your dad just walked in on me getting changed.
33:17Hey.
33:18I'm sure he just didn't realize.
33:22He was hovering outside the bathroom yesterday, too.
33:27He really creeped me out.
33:30Right.
33:33Well, he's taking me to work later after school, so I can talk to him then if you want.
33:37No, it's fine.
33:40No, it's fine.
33:40I'm probably just being paranoid.
33:43Ignore me.
33:45Okay.
34:04I'm sorry.
34:17What do you want, then?
34:19Oh, to cry about Sam.
34:22I called your dad.
34:27I was going to send him the photos you sent me,
34:30and six screenshots, before you could delete them.
34:33Sam, it's illegal to share sex pics and nudes,
34:37especially without the consent of your partner.
34:38I wonder what the police and school senior management team will make of it.
34:43Who the fuck do you think you are?
34:46Don't worry, your daddy didn't care to talk to me,
34:49or care to hear about you, rather.
34:53All your drama and chaos, it isn't activism.
34:57It's performance.
34:59It's a desperate cry for attention from a father who couldn't even be arsed to take my call.
35:05Does he even take your calls?
35:06Or do you get put on hold, too?
35:08Shut up.
35:09He didn't give a shit.
35:10Does he let you go home in the holidays?
35:12Or 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, by the way?
35:19You don't know anything about me.
35:21I know you think you're in control,
35:22but all I see is a scared, shitless little kid
35:25trying to punish someone who isn't even here.
35:28And you've been making the rest of us pay for it ever since.
35:31Mostly me, because I abandoned Terry, too.
35:34Right?
35:34That's it, isn't it?
35:35That is your sick, fucked up reasoning.
35:37You think you hate me, but the truth is
35:39you hate yourself.
35:40You hate that I see you,
35:42but most of all, you hate that I'm right.
35:44Good.
35:47The president!
36:10Yes, O'Brien, please.
36:12You have been assaulted.
36:21No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
