12x07 - Episode 7

Post by bunniefuu »

Morning, Preston.

I'm Dr Jones, I'm
a psychiatrist.

We're here to help you.

Your ankle isn't healing
as quickly as we'd hoped.

How long till he's
able to play properly?

He's got a trial with
Leicester next week.

There's going to be quite
a wait on that, I'm afraid.

I would tell them that
you need to postpone.

The CBT sessions will begin
to build your self-esteem,

help you to start thinking
about food in a healthier way.

What do you think?

I don't need therapy.

Preston...

Are you getting in?

Actually, I think
I might just walk.

I'm a bit nervous, to be
honest, back at Waterloo Road,

on that stage with loads
of people listening to me.

Just try and remember
WHY you're going in.

Come and find me as
soon as you get there.

I will.

I know it was scary, but
I'm sure he'll be fine.

Wait.

Meet me after class, I need to
talk to you about something.

She's been giving me
the evils all week.

I basically waved goodbye to their
VIP experience in the canteen.

But it weren't your fault.

No, but I knew about the bulimia
and I didn't say anything.

Can you imagine if he'd...?

Come on.

So, Preston's had a heart attack

and Auntie Debs is
still kicking us out?

Yeah, well, she
wants the place back,

so we've got a couple of weeks
to sort summat. Heart of gold!

Well, listen, I've got to get
this stuff to the staffroom,

and I'm late already,
so I'll see you later.

You can't even get it to work.

Right, come on. And don't
forget your mum's coming

to pick you up at the radio launch
later. Is she definitely coming?

She won't have forgotten.
She was well excited.

I'll come and get
you when she arrives.

You both better have remembered
to pack your toothbrush.

Yes. Yeah. Right, good. Right,
go on, you're going to be late...

Packed his toothbrush,
left his helmet!

Unbelievable!

So, as many of you already
know, the insurance is void...

It's all right, come in.

The insurance is void because
the alarm wasn't on, so we are

going to have to look at other
ways of replacing the computers.

The Wishing Tree Foundation raised
a lot more than we were hoping,

so that'll help, won't it?

It will, thank you, Coral.

But it doesn't take away the fact
that someone stole from the school,

from all of us, without
taking into account the impact

on the students, who've already
been through so much already.

But all evidence points
to the thieves having help

from within the school. CLATTER

Sorry.

The CCTV was disabled and, as Kim
said, the alarm was switched off.

But do we not need to be asking

who's most likely to
be able to do that?

I don't think it's helpful
to speculate at this point.

On a more positive
and much-needed note,

we have got the school
radio launch this afternoon,

so we've got governors and
invited guests coming in.

So, if you could all make sure
you put on your best faces,

that would be fantastic,
wouldn't it, Neil?

And as well as our two
talented DJs playing music,

I've got Danny Lewis coming in
to talk about his experience

of knife crime, and that will
be broadcast live from the hall.

MURMURING

Finally, Val has played
a blinder by getting us

a mention on local radio,
so, well done, you're a star.

And that is everything, so,
unless anyone else has got...? No?

OK, brilliant. Well,
have a great day.

Thank you very much.

SCHOOL BELL RINGS

They don't know what they're
on about, my ankle feels fine.

We have to tell Leicester
that you aren't ready.

No, I'll lose the trial offer.

As if they're going to wait for
some doctor to say I'm all right...

What? There'll be another
club when you're ready.

I'm ready now, OK?

Do you know what it's like,
spending every single day

with these no-marks
in this place?

Do you?

No, you don't, do you?

And they're the ones who messed
up everything for me, Mum.

Everything.

What is it?

You might not make
it as a footballer.

What?

It won't be anyone's fault,
but we have to accept it.

In the meantime, you need
to knuckle down at school

and make the best of it.

There is no way I am not
going to get found out.

There's no proof. There
doesn't have to be, does there?

They're looking at everybody. I'm
probably going to get questioned.

We have to tell them. No.

No way.

We're both inside
if you do that.

Is that what you want?

Maybe I could get the stuff back.
They might even thank us for it.

What, just walk up to
Vinnie and ask him?

Tell him you've
changed your mind?

I can't do this. I can't.

Nicky, you're not a criminal, but
if you tell people what happened...

..it's what they're
going to think you are.

You've just got to think
about Preston and Tonya, yeah?

Oh, God!

What are they going to do?

SHE SOBS

You can't say anything.

I've got to go.

We had some disappointing news
from the specialist this morning.

Myles's injury won't heal
sufficiently well enough for him

to attend his football trial.

I'm really sorry to hear that.

If he knows that everyone
at Waterloo Road is going to

do what they can to help him, it'll
be easier to come to terms with.

Well, of course we will.

I mean, we would do it for every
student, Myles is no different.

That doesn't always necessarily
mean cutting him a break.

Sometimes quite the opposite.

Preston Walters is recovering
in hospital, thankfully.

Did you hear? Yeah.

What a relief.

His family must have
been so worried.

Yeah, they really were.

As a governor, I'm going to be in
this afternoon for the radio launch,

as you know.

If there's anything
I can do to help...?

Thank you, that's
much appreciated.

And Myles will receive all
the support that he needs.

We're here for you.

When you're ready for
lunch, just give a text.

You can't go anywhere on your
own so, if you need the loo,

Donte holds your hand.

Promise. OK.

Thanks.

Hiya, Sami.

Claire said she saw you.

I thought you weren't
coming in till later.

I've got to write
what I'm going to say.

I've sent you, like,
a million texts.

Why have you been ghosting me?

Where were you after the race?

When Preston had his heart
attack? I never saw you.

I was going to come and see
you at the end but, obviously,

I'm not allowed in
the school, so...

I saw you, Danny, you and
Vinnie right after the robbery.

What were you doing with him?

You think I've nicked the
computers. Well, did you?

Out of all people, I didn't think
it'd be you I'd have to convince

that I weren't a criminal.

Is this why you've
been ignoring me?

Why didn't you just
come and talk to me?

Cos I was afraid
of what I'd hear.

Well...

..it had nothing to do with me.

I was nowhere near it.

All right?

I want to believe you.

SCHOOL BELL RINGS

OK, that's it! Pack
up and ship out!

Essays in on Monday. That's
three days' time, Noel.

You've got a proper gift
for counting, you, sir.

Whoa! Sorry, man.
Didn't see you there.

Yeah, of course you
didn't, you thick tool.

Hey, what are you saying?
Don't worry about it.

See, we do worry,
though, don't we?

Cos you're still here, and we still
have to look at your ugly mug.

Then why don't you stay away
from me? How about that, huh?

All right, all
right. Handbags away.

Well, it was him
what started it, sir.

Oh, God's boots! Dean Weaver,
how old are you, son? Get gone!

Everything OK?

It's just everyone's angry
with me, sir, that's all.

Well, you can't really
blame them, can you?

No, it was my
fault, I messed up.

It won't last for
ever, though, right?

That's a very
philosophical attitude.

Very stoic.

The more painful a lesson, the
more value it has, by and large.

Listen, sir...

If I could just give
you some advice.

Let go of the idea that you've
got to be good at everything.

Most of us are ordinary Joes, and
there's nothing wrong with that.

Those who think they have
to excel all the time

suffer with what I
call exceptionalism.

Told their whole lives that
they're brilliant, special.

Sound familiar?

Sir.

And they're not. You're not.

But that's fine.

Cos what matters is working
hard and trying your best.

Being a decent and
humble human being.

Mm?

Mm.

All right, off you go.

Loser.

TANNOY: Now, I don't usually
give rivals a shout out

but we're making an exception this
morning from Radio Waterloo Road...

..launching this very afternoon.

On the line now
are Noel and Caz.

Sounds like you two are after
my job. Ha-ha, too right.

Yeah, we're coming for you,
Chris. Better watch my back.

What time is it on,
and how do I listen?

You can tune in every lunchtime
on the Waterloo Road website.

We've got a special launch event at


An honest discussion about the
consequences of knife crime

with Waterloo Road's
very own Danny Lewis!

Look, all I know is, someone
definitely turned the alarm off.

It's got to be one of the kids.
It's none of the staff, is it?

I'm so sorry. Yeah.

Now everyone thinks it's me.

Well, I haven't heard
anything. Are you joking me?

The school and the police
might have ruled me out,

but the rumour's
still going around.

It's the last thing
Izzy needs right now.

It would be mad if
anyone thinks it's you.

Yeah, that's the problem.
It isn't, though, is it?

Hey, I've not even
asked you about Preston.

I mean, I just can't
believe after all this time,

no-one even realised, you know?

Oh, Nicky, I didn't mean...

Oh, it's fine.

I'm his mum, I
should have known.

It's just one thing after
another at the minute.

Got to find somewhere
else to live now.

Hey? I thought you and
Debs had pitched things up.

Yeah, yeah, that lasted
all of about five minutes.

Been on the housing
list for ever.

Well, stay at ours, then.

We can't do that. Why not?

I told you, if you get stuck,
you can always crash at ours

and, to me, it sounds
like you're stuck.

We can't just drop on you like
that, you haven't got room.

We'll find room.

But I don't even know how
much rent I could pay you.

Don't worry about all
that, we'll sort it.

I'd have to pay you something.

Hey, the laugh will
be on you, mate.

We're hell to live with.

You know, tops off ketchup
bottles, milk left out,

pants lying around everywhere,
and blowing off all the time.

Hey, and that's just our Iz!

Hey, it'll be fine, OK?

It might be just what
Preston and Tonya need.

Thank you.

See you later.

So, I heard, you know that
Bethany in year 12, you know,

with the... She said that
the lads from her estate,

yeah, are the ones who robbed
the computers, Can Man!

What? Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They
flogged them online.

Have you heard this?
Yeah, and it's not funny.

What?

I can't believe you'd leave
someone to die. Who are you?

You weren't even there. How
do you know what happened?

Cos everyone's saying
it, that's why.

And you believe them, huh?

Just cos you can't be arsed
finding out for yourself.

You're a sheep, just like
everyone else in this damn place.

Why didn't you help him, then?

Cos he fell over, and I thought
he'd tripped, or something.

I was in a race, so guess what?

I carried on running. What's
your problem? Yeah, sure.

Yeah, you think what you want.
I couldn't care less anyway.

So, where's everyone
going to sleep, then?

I don't know, we'll
work something out.

Right, so I was thinking, Tonya
with me, Preston with Tommy,

and... are you
sharing with Nicky?

What? No. Look, it's
nothing like that.

I'm staying on the sofa, OK?

OK.

LIVELY CHATTER

How's Prest?

How do you think he is?

He's in hospital
after a cardiac arrest

because of bulimia that you
knew about and you said nothing!

And now he won't
let anyone help him.

I should've said something.

I wish I had.

But he told me not to
say anything to anyone.

I promised.

I am so, so sorry.

I really am. Yeah.

Well, so you should be.

Well, sorry's not
good enough, Kai.

HE SIGHS

You shouldn't even be near
me after what you did. Yeah?

What are you staring
at? Not much.

Oh, gobbing off at me now?

Do you really expect me to feel
sorry for you or your brother?

Look around.

There's enough people doing that
already, don't you think, huh?

Preston could have died.

Yeah, but he didn't, did
he, so what's your point?

You don't know what
you're on about. No, I do.

I do know what I'm on about.

I know there's nothing wrong with
him so, again, what's your point?

He's got bulimia, so shut
up. He's got bulimia!

Oi, Willie Walters has got
bulimia. Is everyone hearing this?

Is everyone listening? Google
disease of bulimia, eh?

LAUGHTER

Yeah, gobbing off now,
aren't you? Tonya, stop!

You're sick! Everyone
here hates you!

Tonya, my office. No, miss...

We will discuss it
later. Off you go.

Sad git!

Uh, Dean, join Tonya, please.

Yeah, worth it, miss.

Do you want to tell me how this
started, Myles? No, I don't.

Come on, let's get you
cleaned up. Get off me!

OK.

All right, off you go.

Kim.

Andrew, Lenny, hi.

Sorry I'm late. I had an
afternoon open up in the diary,

decided I really wanted to
be here for Danny's talk.

I hope you don't mind
me tagging along.

Everything OK? Yeah.

Yeah, everything's... fine.

Why don't I show
you both the studio?

SCHOOL BELL RINGS

TANNOY: OK, it's back to classes
now but stick around after school

for more massive noise,
massive sounds, massive tunes.

And a massive gob! All right.

Here you go. Nice.

All right, guys?
Very impressive.

Are you ready to
roll? Massively.

Taking requests?

A bit of Britpop,
Pulp, Supergrass?

An oldies' slot.
Yeah, good idea, sir.

Ouch.

Thank you for being here.

It's been a bit of a nightmare
day, what with the robbery,

and I really appreciate
your support, thank you.

The truth is, I cleared
the afternoon ages ago.

Wasn't going to
be anywhere else.

HE GRUNTS

HE BREATHES DEEPLY

LIFT BELL DINGS Second floor.

Hey.

Cute sweats.

What are you doing here?

I've come to see you, obviously.

Why did you tell them
about the bulimia?

You had a cardiac arrest. Yeah.

Yeah, and now they think
my head's messed up.

They want us in therapy.

What was I meant to do?

Nothing. What?

Look, therapy might
not be such a bad idea.

It obviously wasn't working
doing it on your own.

Have you thought about that?

I wasn't just going to sit and
watch you get worse, OK? No.

It wasn't anything
to do with you.

What? It was.

I love you.

I can't do this now, Kai.

SCHOOL BELL RINGS

I am so sorry.

I've got this new boss and because
I forgot to put a shift change

form in, she wouldn't
let us go, the tight cow.

I'm glad you're here.

So, Radio Waterloo Road,
hey? How posh is that?

And you have not heard it yet.

Oh, that's the spirit, Dwayne.

Right, shall we get
in there, then? Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, it's just through
the assembly hall there, yeah.

Danny, all set?

Yeah.

Everything all right, mate?

Just girlfriend problems.

Might sort itself,
you never know. No.

She can do better
than me, to be honest.

Hey, if you want to talk about
what it's like to be judged

and binned off, you are
looking at the right fella.

And if people can't
deal with your past...

..you're better off without 'em.

ANIMATED CHATTER

What on earth happened?
Don't worry about it.

Myles!

Hey. How are you doing?
Yeah, I'm fine, thanks.

In five, four,
three, two, one...

You wanted it. You asked for it.

Let's face it, you were
practically begging for it.

Well, now you've
got it. Here it is.

BOTH: Welcome to the massive
sound of Radio Waterloo Road!

Brilliant, guys.

Woohoo!

And here she is!

I've just been telling Andrew what
a great job you've done this year,

under what you might call
exigent circumstances.

There's none as resilient or
as resourceful or as dedicated

as our Miss Campbell.

Believe me, I know. Mm, yeah.

Yeah, I see.

History.

HE CHUCKLES AND COUGHS

Thank you, Neil.

That's amazing to hear.

What does "exigent" mean?

Dwayne is turning
into a proper man.

It won't be long.

Uh, Lisa.

Uh, we would like you to see
the boys as much as you can.

It's important that you three
get to feel like a family.

Thank you so much.

It's all I want.

Well, it'll take time but, you
know, they'll get used to it.

And we will help you with
whatever you need. All right?

Two sugars OK? Yeah.

Brilliant, thanks.

Did you know? It was
my idea. Oh, was it?

Well, tea is my speciality so...

Are you all right?

Yeah.

We don't need a piece of paper
to tell us that we're dads,

because we are. I'm fine.

Uh, I thought it was show time?

Yeah. It is in a bit.

I'm bricking it, though.

Do I even have to say the words?

You're amazing. You're
going to smash it.

It's times like this I
just wish Angel was around.

You know what I mean? Nothing
like a sloppy, wet kiss

to just get you in the
zone! Stop. THEY CHUCKLE

THEY CHAT

Ready for you now, Kim.


by. Brilliant, thank you.

Just excuse me a minute.

WALKIE-TALKIE BEEPS Hi, Noel.

I'm just coming up
onto the stage now.

Let me know when
you are ready. Over.

Look, stay calm, relax.

It's all good, Kim. Over.

Excuse me?

Well, I just thought, cos
I'm your producer now,

we could keep it a bit
more casual, innit?

No. Over.

Sorry, miss.

Hello?

SHE CLEARS HER THROAT Hello.

This is one of the only times
that you are going to hear

my voice on Radio Waterloo Road,

but I just wanted
to say something

about our community,
about our family.

I think it's really important that
each and every single one of you

feels that you are a part of
who we are, that you have...

TANNOY: a voice to
express your thoughts

and your feelings
and your ideas.

You are the lifeblood, and this
is your radio station, yeah?

Use it to be even more
brilliant than you are already.

OK, I thought long and hard about
inviting our first speaker today,

but I felt that they had
something very important to say,

and that we should hear him.

I believe that you can
come back from anything...

..if you really want
it badly enough.

I reckon you're right.

But you can't change the
things that have happened...

RADIO: or forget the things
that you wish you could forget.

TANNOY: I've made
some big mistakes,

and the hardest thing I'll ever
have to do is live with them.

I wish I didn't know
what knives did.

I wish I'd never seen it.

Me, too.

Honestly, I wish I
wasn't the usual suspect.

And it's hard to change people's
minds once they've made 'em up.

It was my fault.

Why?

I stabbed someone.

Doesn't matter what
the reason was...

..but I'm not that person.

Hey...

..you are being honest
about who you are now.

That is the only thing
that matters, innit?

It's not easy...

..taking responsibility.

It's actually the hardest
thing in the world.

Wow! That was powerful.

Yeah, and his levels
were spot-on, too.

You're such a natural!
Yeah, cans on me.

I am so proud of you.

Thank you. Really.

And thank you.

Have you thought any more
about what's next? Yeah.

I have, actually.

Well, whatever you decide,
Danny Lewis, back yourself.

You're going to be all
right. I can spot a winner.

LOW CHATTER

Move out my way now!

You see that?

That's what happens when
you're one of the good guys.

Listen, I'll talk to you in a
bit, yeah? Yeah, yeah, in a bit.

Hey! Erm...

I went and saw him. I
had a free period. Right.

How is he?

Really mad at me. Wouldn't
listen to anything I said.

Right.

Well, I'll tell you what.

How about we both go see him?

Tell him that there's
nothing to be ashamed of

or angry about.

But you know, he...
he needs help.

Do you think he'll listen?

How about we give
him no bloody choice?

DOOR OPENS

So, that was amazing.

Look, I judged you, and you're
right to hate me for it.

I don't hate you.

I love you.

I love you more than I thought
I could ever love anyone.

I'm no good for you.

You don't need me
dragging you down.

And, you know, you
were right, Sami.

You were right not to believe a
word that I say about anything.

I don't get it.

I knew the robbery
were happening.

I saw Vinnie outside
with Preston's mum,

and I got a bad feeling,
so I went after 'em.

Preston's mum?

She was helping him.

She turned off the CCTV. Why?

She owed him money,

and he was threatening
her, Tonya and Preston.

But why didn't she
just go to the police?

Cos it's never just
as easy as that, Sam.

There were people coming,
she was going to get caught,

and even then, she'd still
have Vinnie on her back.

So, I took the computers out

and I said to Vinnie
to leave her alone.

That must have been when
you saw me with him.

I know I shouldn't
have done it...

..but I couldn't just
leave her like that.

Sami, I did it for
Preston and Tonya.

SHE SIGHS My gosh!

I'm sorry. I really am.

Sorry about what?

Risking everything
just to help someone?

What I said before...

..it's still true.

I'm no good for you. You're
better off without me.

Do you really think that?

Are you really that stupid?

Cos it turns out...

..you're the best thing
that's ever happened to me.

What are you doing out
of bed? And dressed!

I was coming to see you.

We've been through this
- you need to stay here.

We've missed you, Preston, but
you need help. Yeah, I know.

I wanted to tell you something
and I didn't want to wait.

That I'll do it.

I don't want to die. Oh,
baby, come here. It's OK.

PRESTON SNIFFLES

ELECTRO MUSIC POUNDS

What? RESPONSE
DROWNED OUT BY MUSIC

I know. I can't hear anything.

See the thing abut being
a radio personality, yeah?

Everybody seems to
think I'm their mate.

That is a proper responsibility.

Seriously, k*ll me now.

Yeah? Yeah, what's
happening with this cable?

What cable?

I don't know. They've just
asked me to ask you. Come here.

Mate, there is no cable.

Arrgh! Whoa! Whoa!
Whoa! Get out!

Oi, you maggot!
What are you doing?

MUSIC STOPS

You open this door now!

Oi, everyone, listen
to me right now.

OVER SPEAKERS: You want to
know what I wish I'd known?

How many losers there are
in this school. Sorry.

I wish I'd known how much of a
waste of a time this place is...

Come on, man! ..how it's full of
people who aren't going anywhere

or going to achieve a thing!

Just look at the teachers
and how crap they are!

Please get off the stuff,
man! Myles, one...! Myles!

I mean, how was I ever going
to learn a single thing

from a useless
git like Guthrie?!

Cheeky little toerag!
Just ignore him.

I wish I'd never
come here. Myles!

And Dwayne Jackson, who tried
to take my football career

away from me! Myles!
Myles, open the door!

Just cos he's a nobody

doesn't mean he can turn
me into one, as well! Nah!

That is never going to happen!

Do you want me to break
it in? Erm, no. No, no.

Myles, come on. I'm
worth a thousand of him,

and a thousand of his two g*y
dads he has to live with, as well,

just cos his mum don't want him.

What's he doing?

Do something! I'm worth a thousand
of Preston Walters. Stop him!

Kim. Erm, the power. Power.
Cut the power to the room.

I'm on it. I'm on it.

He's got bulimia! Myles! Myles!
Did you know? A girl disease!

Goes to the bathroom,
grabs a bar of chocolate,

scoffs it down his face, and
pukes it all back up in secret!

You couldn't write
it, could you?

Oh, you're all
pathetic! Pathetic!

You belong in this
crap hole of a school.

All of you are nothing!

ELECTRICITY POWERS
DOWN Nothing! Enough!

How could you take their side?

Open the door.

Myles... No, get away
from me! Myles! It's fine.

I'll handle it. I'll see
if Jamilah's still here.

OK, well, I'm coming with.
Can you just...? Yeah.

I need to see what our social
worker thinks of all of this.

When the power comes
back on, play a banger.

Britpop, yeah. Britpop,
K-pop, hip-hop - play it loud.

Argh! Who do you think you are
that you can say those things?

What is wrong with you? Nothing.
There's nothing wrong with me.

You're a disgrace.
Shut your mouth.

A spoilt little mess who
needs to sort himself out,

and it's my fault.

I've let you get to this.
I said shut your mouth!

You are not better than
anyone else, Myles!

Right now, you are the
opposite - you're pathetic,

you're an embarrassment.
No, you are!

No-one here's ever
going to forget me.

And as for the rest of them,

it'll be like they never existed,
including you, you sad witch!

Listen to yourself.
You're like a little boy.

Grow up, Myles!

Take some responsibility
for yourself

or you are going to
end up a nobody. Argh!

Tell me you're sorry. What?

Tell me you're sorry!

VOICE TREMBLES: Myles,
please... Myles...

He hit me. You hit
your mum? You psycho!

It wasn't my fault.

You don't know me. You
don't know anything!

Myles!

Open this door, for
Christ's sakes! Arrgh!

BANGING ON DOOR

Open it!

BANGING CONTINUES

Myles! It's going to be OK.

We're going to get
out. Open the door!

Myles!

MUSIC PLAYS, LOW CHATTER

Miss Campbell!

FIRE ALARM RINGS

OK, everyone, keep calm.

Can you all make your way to
the assembly points, please,

slowly, slowly and calmly?

Teachers, can you go and take
your designated classrooms?

Keep away from the
drama studio, though.

Keep calm, please, everybody!

Nice and calmly, everybody.
Straight outside.

MUSIC CONTINUES

Oh, my God. Noel! Hurry up!
We need to go now! Hurry up!

What are you doing?
It's my vinyl.

Look, it's 400 quid.
Are you stupid? No!

Oh, my...!

We're going to get out, OK?
Myles! We're going to get out.

Open the door! We're going to
stand, OK, Rose? Stay with me.

Hold on to me.

What are we going to do?

Are you OK? Mm.

Oh, my God!

Danny! Right, come on.

We've got to get out.
This way. This way.

Myles! What are you doing?

Look who's laughing now.

Argh! Argh!

Danny! Samia, go!

Argh! Come on.

We can't leave him in there!

Danny! Come on.

Come on, Myles, get
up. Myles, come on.

expl*si*n

Has anyone seen Samia?

Um...

Danny! Samia! Samia! Samia! Come
on, we've got to go. Come on.

Let's get you out.
You need to breathe.

Samia! Danny is still in
there with Myles Massey.

We couldn't get to him.
Where are the fire engines?

They're on their way.
Are you all right?

It's going to be all
right. He's still in there.

I know. I know. But, listen,
they will get him out, all right?

They'll get him out.
But you need to just...

DANNY COUGHS

Danny?

MYLES COUGHS

Danny!

Samia! No. No. No! No! No! No!

Danny's in there. I
need to go and get him.

No. I'm so sorry, you can't.
You can't. It's not safe.

HE GROANS

HE COUGHS AND SPLUTTERS

Myles! Myles, are you OK? It's
all right. It's all right, mate.

Deep breaths. Take some
deep breaths. Danny!

Tell me you didn't.
Yeah, I did. Why?

Why would you do that?

Cos it's what this
place deserves.

Samia!

Danny! expl*si*n

Danny! No! We've
got to get them...

Danny's in there!
Danny's in there!

We need to clear.
We need to clear.

One more person stuck
inside, all right?

Yeah, where's the boys? They're
out front with everyone else.

What's going on?
Danny is still inside.

I think it was started
deliberately. Deliberately?

Oh! I know.

HE COUGHS

Fire Service. Anyone in here?

Fire and rescue service.
Can anyone hear us?

I've got a door.

Casualty located.

RADIO BEEPS Can we get
the paramedics here?

Oh, my God!

Danny!

Is he OK? Are you
his family? Yes.

CAR DOOR SHUTS

I know what you
must think of me.

No-one's judging
you, Mrs Massey.

But I'm all he has.

I'm going to live this with him.

I don't know how, but I will.

SHE SOBS

Baby, come here. Oh, baby!

Donte...

..tell me it's not
true... about Danny.

He's going to be all
right, though, innit?

I'm sorry, Kai.

HE SOBS

SHE SNIFFLES This is on me.

No.

Absolutely not. That's
nonsense. Oh, this is on me.

BREATH TREMBLES

I should have... I should
have listened to myself.

I should have listened
to myself about Myles.

And I didn't. I didn't.

I didn't and I've lost them.

Andrew!

You couldn't
possibly have known.

You couldn't
possibly have known.

Hey. Come on, let's get
the kids out of here. Wait.

I need to tell you something.

What is it?

BREATH TREMBLES It was me.

The computers.

I helped this guy,
Vinnie, and...

..I unlocked the door and
I turned off the alarm.

Why?

Because I owed
him so much money.

I couldn't see a way out. I
didn't know what else to do.

I just did it for the
kids, and I'm sorry. Hey!

Hey! I'm sorry! That's
OK. It's all right.

I'm sorry! Ssh! I know.

Does anyone else know?

Danny did.

OK. And the police - do
you think they'll find out?

OK. Then we tell no-one.

We don't mention
this again, ever.

All right?

Come here.

Hey, it's going to be all right.

It's all of us now, remember.

Val... I couldn't sit
at home on my own.

I needed to be here.

Some didn't go home at all.

Last term, I failed. This
term, I'm putting it right.

Danny Lewis's death
will not be in vain.

Are you coming to watch us
practise? No, I'm coming to play.

And you will, just not yet.

Life has changed for him. He
can't do all the stuff he used to.

I'm leaving sixth form for good.

Join the trust.
Become an academy.

What if the CEO promised
to be hands off...

..professionally, at least?
