00:04How do I miss this?
00:07How are we going to face the parents?
00:11Don't, don't, don't.
00:12Don't go down that aisle. What can we be doing?
00:15Okay, we need to count for classes, yeah?
00:19Yeah, I'll...
00:20Maybe I'll come to sleep with my kids.
00:26Wesley, what's going on?
00:29What's going on?
00:32I'll be out.
00:33I'm so sorry.
00:37I'm so sorry.
00:39I'm so sorry.
00:55Thank you, all of you, for, um, gathering at this heartbreaking time.
01:04The last few hours have been deeply, deeply harrowing, to say the least.
01:12I know that some of you were personally close to Dee.
01:16This will take some time to process.
01:18But the authorities will want to speak to all of you.
01:24Particularly about the pills that Dee took.
01:27It's imperative that we find out who or what drove them to this.
01:31And that it does not happen to anyone else.
01:33So, we need to identify and monitor the most vulnerable students.
01:38I think we should all keep a close eye on Leo Dalton, Dee's best friend.
01:42Leo's in my phone group.
01:44I'll touch base with him, and report back.
01:49At this devastating moment, we have a duty of care to these children.
01:55They need our support at this fragile time.
01:58We're working with the police to discover how and why this happened.
02:03Helen, DS O'Brien would like to speak to you first.
02:15Leo, are you in there?
02:20Leo, Leo.
02:22I just heard him out.
02:23I'm so sorry.
02:24Is there anything I can do?
02:26Okay.
02:27Right, well, I'm staying at it, okay?
02:31For as long as you need me.
02:37We're trying to paint a picture of who Dee was.
02:40Anything that might go some way of explaining why they took their own life.
02:48Well, she was bright as a button.
02:51You could say a bit quiet, but nothing out of the ordinary.
02:55How about their schoolwork, exam pressures, any areas of concern?
02:59She missed a mark on her last essay, but it's nothing I was overly concerned about.
03:04What about the drugs found in Dee's room?
03:06Did they have a reputation for that?
03:08No.
03:09I wasn't...
03:09Dee wasn't like that.
03:11Personally, I found her a pleasure to teach.
03:14I noticed your use of female pronouns.
03:17We understand that Dee I identified as non-binary.
03:20Yes, sorry.
03:21Also happy.
03:22This wasn't a source of conflict between the two of you, was it?
03:25No.
03:27They hated conflict.
03:31You covered detention with Dee yesterday, am I correct?
03:36What was the reason for that?
03:39Late homework.
03:42You were the last teacher to have any interaction with Dee before they overdosed.
03:48May I ask how they seemed?
03:52They were right as rain, as far as I could tell.
03:58Was anything said that might give you cause of concern?
04:01Anything that might shed some light on the events that followed?
04:05It was a...
04:06It was a...
04:07...lockstand in detention.
04:10I did some marking, they sat in silence.
04:13I wouldn't be left.
04:14Any signs of an ease, distress.
04:18Not that I clogged.
04:31You may go.
04:43I want you back.
04:45So, just stay strong and don't say anything to anyone.
04:49We'll be alright.
05:07President.
05:10I just wanted to check that you're okay.
05:17Are you serious?
05:19Because I'm worried about you.
05:22You mean you're worried I'm going to cross on you for what you said?
05:25No.
05:26No.
05:27Look, I just feel that after this dreadful thing that's happened, we all need time to process.
05:34Yeah, sure.
05:36Well, I'm not going to say anything anyway.
05:41I don't need to.
05:45I've got your whole tirade recorded.
05:48What's in your corner?
05:50You are alone.
05:51And if you pull the handle back, you might as well kill yourself now.
05:58I didn't mean that.
06:00You said it.
06:01Well, you will not die innocent in this.
06:03Time after time, they asked you to stop causing chaos.
06:07Boss, how do you know it wasn't your little fight that tipped them over the edge?
06:10I didn't tell them to kill themselves.
06:13What do you intend to do with that recording?
06:17Oh, Cressida.
06:19There you are.
06:21DS O'Brien would like to speak to you, if that's okay.
06:25Yeah, sure.
06:27I think Miss Simpson and I have done talking.
06:31Do you want to follow me?
06:32Yeah.
06:43Runs.
06:45Room C12 on the Humanities Corridor is going to be your pupil support room.
06:52It'll be open all day with a member of staff available to speak to.
07:02Uh, take a seat, Cressida.
07:04I'm just explaining about the protocols that the school has set in place and what the plan's
07:08going to be for the next couple of days.
07:09I know you may all have questions, but I just don't have all the answers.
07:14Excuse me, Miss.
07:14Can I say something?
07:18Go ahead.
07:24I've been thinking about the drama final.
07:27I know you had your reasons for choosing Shakespeare, but I was wondering if after what's happened,
07:41you'd reconsider and change things up?
07:45I don't think now is the time to discuss this.
07:47I disagree.
07:48I think it would be great to show our solidarity with Dee by doing a play that we dedicate to
07:53them.
07:54The thing is, the syllabus...
07:55I'm thinking Spring Awakening.
07:57It was Dee's favorite play.
08:00Gender, expression, sexuality, queer culture, radical.
08:06I don't know about anyone else, but I think a project like this would help me process my grief.
08:15Miss I is down with Cressida, who votes to ditch Midsummer Night's Dream and do Spring Awakening for Dee.
08:30Well, if you're willing to put in the extra work, then you suppose so.
08:36You won't regret this.
08:45Something I can help you in?
08:47I've seen some video footage I need to discuss with you.
08:51Right, I just, I um, I can't leave the students unsupervised.
08:56Mr. Blake's on his way to cover.
09:08Mr. Blake's on his way to cover.
09:22A video's been shown to us that we find deeply concerning.
09:25Do you know what I'm referring to?
09:49Hey!
09:50Hey, hey!
09:51Hey!
09:54Hey!
10:00Am I right in saying that this fight is the reason that you gave Dee and Cressida detention?
10:08Then why didn't you mention it before?
10:10Why did you tell me that Dee's relationships with other students were fine?
10:16I forgot.
10:19It was just a spat that got out of hand.
10:22Hormonal teenagers, it didn't ring any alarm bells for me.
10:25A fight between two pupils, one whom committed suicide soon after, didn't ring any alarm bells.
10:31Obviously, it should have.
10:33I just thought they dealt with it, and by the time we got to the actual detention, the issue seemed
10:38to be resolved.
10:40I'm sorry.
10:42This has all been very traumatic.
10:47And is there any more key information that you failed to disclose?
10:54No, I don't think so.
10:56No, I don't think so.
10:57No, I don't think so.
11:12No, I don't think so.
11:14No, I don't think so.
11:15No, I don't think so.
11:15No, I don't think so.
11:16No, I don't think so.
11:16No, I don't think so.
11:16No, I don't think so.
11:16No, I don't think so.
11:16No, I don't think so.
11:17No, I don't think so.
11:19No, I don't think so.
11:29Sorry I'm late, love.
11:31It's been a hell of a day.
11:36You okay?
11:40Actually, can we talk about something?
11:43Of course. Come sit down.
11:45Hey.
11:50So, is it Svartlia?
11:53Right. Okay.
11:54Uh, I'm worried about him and how he's sort of taken to his death.
12:03He's beating himself up over it and without them he's going to be lost.
12:07I just want to help him.
12:09I'm sure you being there for him is helping more than you know.
12:13And I'll look out for him too.
12:16Okay?
12:17Together, we will get him through this.
12:20I promise.
12:23Come in.
12:27Come in.
12:52That won't open, do you know it?
12:54Not now, Terry, I'm not in there for a lecture.
12:57Sam called.
12:58Just came to see how you're doing.
13:00Shit, how do you think?
13:01Yeah.
13:03Yeah, sounds about right.
13:05Sam?
13:07As well as can be expected, I guess.
13:09Don't call him down, he's in his room.
13:12I just wanted you both to know that you're me, if you need anything.
13:19Thanks.
13:21That's...
13:23That's appreciated.
13:24No doubt this has been easy.
13:26Something like this in his first term.
13:28I thought this new school might make things better for him.
13:30Well, how was I to know this would happen?
13:32It won't.
13:33I'm not...
13:34I'm just trying to...
13:34Well, don't.
13:35What?
13:37I'm sorry.
13:41I'm here because I give a shit, Howells.
13:43About both of you.
14:00Good morning, Miss Simpson.
14:04What can I do for you?
14:06I was thinking we could have a creative conversation about Spring Awakening.
14:11How do we ensure that we're representing the themes to a modern audience?
14:18Teenagers, complex identities, representation, reclamation, the power of being seen.
14:23Dean?
14:24I think that's to be discovered in rehearsals.
14:29Okay.
14:32I was also thinking about casting.
14:35I reckon I make a great Wendler.
14:38I could use the monologue for my drama school audition.
14:41The police know about your fight with Dean.
14:45I know.
14:46I told them.
14:48I thought it was better to be open and honest.
14:52But you didn't talk about the detention.
14:55Hmm.
14:56I'm not sure that's my story to tell.
15:02Is this all just a pimp your uni application?
15:05No.
15:06I genuinely think you deserve to pay if you're outdated and problematic opinions or you'll never learn.
15:11What does that mean?
15:15Wait and see.
15:27Oh.
15:28Sorry, miles away.
15:30You okay?
15:31Yeah, I was just thinking about Leo.
15:33Um, are you busy tonight?
15:35I was thinking I could maybe ask him over.
15:37Hang out.
15:37I don't think we can get into the habit of asking other students over to the house.
15:41It is against the rules.
15:43Mum, I really think he needs somebody to talk to.
15:45I don't want you getting too attached to his trauma, you know.
15:49I just thought that maybe away from school he might relax and open up a bit.
15:56You know, in like a normal home environment.
15:57Um, please.
16:01Yeah, I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important.
16:03Yeah, alright.
16:05You invite him over tonight.
16:06I'll cook.
16:07But this has to stay between the three of us.
16:10Alright?
16:12Thanks.
16:14Yeah, yeah.
16:16Thanks.
16:30Yeah, yeah.
16:37I'm sorry.
16:43Dinner's ready.
16:44Hope you like enchiladas.
16:49There you go.
16:51Thanks.
16:53This is delicious.
16:54Cheers, Miss Simpson.
16:56Not a problem.
16:57I can't compete with campus food, but I do my best.
17:01It's just nice to be away from the sad, sympathetic looks.
17:07People don't even say anything.
17:12They probably just don't know what to say, Leo.
17:20Who is it?
17:20Uh, Tessa.
17:32I'm sorry, lads.
17:34I need to nip out.
17:35It's urgent.
17:36What?
17:37Where are you going?
17:38I just need to sort something with Tessa.
17:40I won't be long.
17:41You two can have some alone time to chat.
17:43Mom, that's...
17:50Right.
17:50Let's go out.
17:51Me and you.
17:52Let's go straight first.
18:10You've got to give me a bit more notice.
18:12I've ordered us the deluxe taster menu.
18:15That's a treat.
18:15Really?
18:16You shouldn't be drinking that.
18:20So, you gave the police the video of that fight purely to mess with me.
18:25More mission accomplished.
18:26You happy now?
18:27One of my classmates just passed away.
18:30I'd hardly say that I'm happy.
18:31Come on.
18:32You couldn't give a flying fuck about me.
18:34You got on that bandwagon to rile me up.
18:37You don't know me.
18:38You're right.
18:40You're right.
18:41I don't.
18:46So tell me.
18:59I just keep thinking how selfish they are for abandoning me like this.
19:03I knew I fucking hated Wang of all shit and whole.
19:09It's not easy here, is it?
19:11I mean, I thought it would be better too.
19:13It's awful.
19:15But with me it was bearable.
19:18Friends aren't meant to leave each other in the shit.
19:23Look, I know I'm not them.
19:24Yeah, I'm not trying to be.
19:26But if you want to try and talk about anything, then...
19:29I'm here.
19:30I should've known.
19:33After what happened before.
19:36Being such a...
19:39Such a shit friend.
19:42I just...
19:43I don't think getting wasted is such a great idea right now.
20:03I got into...
20:10I got into this job because I believe that theatre can help young people.
20:15That it holds up a mirror to ourselves and the world.
20:19There's nothing to do.
20:19As long as the reflection only represents your narrow view.
20:22No.
20:23Not necessarily.
20:24Look.
20:24Believe it or not, we have more in common than you think.
20:28I understand...
20:29That since your mum left...
20:31You feel the need to act independent.
20:34You know nothing about my family.
20:36Teachers talk.
20:37I know more than you think.
20:39Well, you're just as bad.
20:41Abandoning your family.
20:44You have no idea the hurt you're causing.
20:48Half the male teachers in our school have left their families.
20:51Why are you gunning for me?
20:52It's a bit anti-feminist.
20:54Also, Sam still lives with me and I still speak to his father.
20:58So don't compare me to any other women in your life.
21:25Leo?
21:28Sam.
21:30No, no listen. Can you believe?
21:34I've agreed to do a fucking speech at the memorial
21:38Well, what was it? Maybe that's what to think about that right now, okay? Here's what I suggest
21:45Call my mom to come pick us up and go back to mine find a film and we just touch
21:49it all night
21:50Yeah, hey, why don't you have some water?
21:53Oh
21:57Shit, sorry. It's fine. Leo. It's just a glass
22:01fucking stupid
22:05Yeah
22:17So what will it be are you going to delete that footage so we can both move on with our
22:21lives
22:23Why would I do that you do realize that blackmail is a criminal offense you do know that your dinosaur
22:28opinions are hurting people
22:30We try talking to you, but if I don't do something about it who will?
22:35Don't paint yourself to be some kind of anti-hero. It is pathetic
22:41Not as pathetic as you trying to negotiate when you've got nothing on me
22:52I decide how this ends
22:58She's paying
23:03She's paying
