01x08 - Get Even

[bunniefuu]

All competitors in the
Havenmoor Regional Cheer Competition

must complete registration
within the next five minutes.

That's five minutes to register.

How long is
this going to take?

They can't keep us
hanging on like this.

It's okay. Ms.
Carson's on her way.

It's not good.

In the light of what's happened,

- Bannerman has been disqualified.
- What?!

That's not fair. We
didn't do anything wrong.

- Neither did he.
- Right, they must know he's innocent.

The allegation concerns
performance-enhancing drugs,

but they can't rule out the
possibility that you've all taken them.

I will pee in a cup if it
means that we can compete.

There's no time to test
and get results back.

Great.

So it's easier to just…

Well, that was brutally quick.

Can we talk in my office?

We can talk here.

I mean, hasn't the
worst already happened?

No.

Coach Harris, you are
suspended from your position

until further notice. It's
effective immediately.

- You know how wrong this is.
- I have no choice.

You could look into who set me up
instead of treating me like I'm guilty.

Right now, my priority is
the reputation of the school.

We are still the
hosts of this event.

I expect you to make
Bannerman proud.

Go out and welcome our guests.

It's done.

What are you doing here?

Enjoying my victory.

Today is gonna be fun.

I brought popcorn.

Enjoy it because it won't last.

You're cute when you get angry.

You know it's not hard to go to the police
and tell them everything you've done.

Why haven't you?

Oh, but I know why.

You have no evidence.

You don't know what
we have on you.

Yes, I do.

- How?
- I have my ways.

Think about what you're doing.

This could ruin my dad's life.

Still worth it.

What happened to you?

Because something did
to make you this way.

I just learned that life's
more fun when you're winning.

Welcome, everyone,
to Bannerman Independent School.

We are proud to be the hosts of
the Havenmoor Cheer Regionals.

Good luck to all the
teams competing today.

- Poor little Clara.

You're not even in the game.

Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.

Hi, welcome to Bannerman.

You'll find everything
you need on that map,

and good luck for the
competition, I guess.

I don't need a map,
obviously.

- You're on Bushgrove's team?
- I know. It's so great to be on a team

which doesn't have a
druggie for a coach.

And I'm guessing great to have new
teammates to bully and belittle.

I was looking forward to
beating Bannerman today,

but this… this is better.

This way, I get to watch you
all depressed on the sidelines.

Too tragic to even compete.

Oops!

Wait. What are you doing here?

I didn't message you.

Or you.

I'm here because I'm seriously frustrated
and I needed a place to be that.

I needed a break from
being nice to people.

And usually I'm down with that.

What about you?

I was feeling pretty terrible,

probably because I didn't have
the best kind of weirdos around.

Okay, can we hug now,
please? Because I don't know

if we're supposed to speak out
our issues or something, but…

Not being friends
with you guys sucks.

I don't know. I
mean, I was fine.

It's not like I was up
here crying or anything.

Oh, no. Me too. Totally
chill without you guys.

Not to distract from the
hugging and healing, but…

All of us here, now.

It has to be a sign.

I did find something.

I was thinking about why
Mouse is the way she is.

And those photos on her pinboard,
the same face over and over again.

They obviously
meant a lot to her.

So I did some digging, and I
found something that could help.

- Tell me we're going to put this right.
- We have to.

We're DGM after all.

Everyone
has someone, right?

Someone they listen to.

Someone who can make
them change or stop.

I think he's that
person for Mouse.

Based on my sleuthing,

he comes here to run
every Saturday afternoon.

What if this is the one Saturday
he decides to stay home and study?

Worse, what if I have to run?

I don't think we have
to worry about that.

- Hey, Christopher Beeman?
- Yeah.

Who are you?

My name's Clara.

Clara Harris.

We're here to talk to you about
your sister. She's been kind of

off the rails.

And terrorizing the school.

- We think it's revenge.
- For what?

For you.

We think she's doing
it all for you.

I recognized you from
some of the photos she had

and did some research.

I know you were
framed for m*rder.

And that Bannerman did nothing.

They just wanted someone, anyone,
in prison so they could move on.

And focus on what they
really care about,

restoring their reputation.

Are we right so far?

Did you wanna show up and remind
me of a really bad time in my life?

We didn't want to show up
at all. We had to show up.

Things haven't been good at Bannerman,
so we decided to do something about it.

And we decided it was time
that DGM made a comeback.

We know that DGM cleared
your name, helped you.

So we're hoping you can help us.

Hey, big bro.

Bushgrove just performed.

Mouse will be here soon.

Wait, what did
you just call Meg?

Oh, um, Mouse.

It's sort of her nickname.

I think Viola started it.

Because she's
quiet, like a mouse.

Wow, she really is
having a hard time.

But it's because of her, everyone
else is having a hard time too.

I'm still not sure
about that. The stuff you told me,

hurting your sister,
setting your dad up,

that's not who she is.

If you don't believe me,

promise me something.

Promise me you'll dig.

Push her. Ask more.

Get to the truth.

Isn't this nice?

You weren't kidding when
you said this was serious.

Is what they're saying true?

What have you been up to, Meg?

Things and stuff.

You can
tell me. I get it.

I know better than anyone
what Bannerman is capable of.

That was then. Things
are different now.

Not so much.

You're at uni.

But I'm stuck here.

The bullying, putting
everything under the carpet.

Still,

framing someone isn't
gonna help anything.

It's time to come clean.

I would.

But I don't know what
you're talking about.

Haven't you lied enough?

- Aren't you bored of it yet?
- Aren't you?

They lied to me, Chris.

They pretended like we were going
to change the school together.

Even worse, they pretended to
be my friends just to trick me.

And that hurt because
I needed friends.

I don't have any.

Is that true?

We didn't think we
could trust her.

In that case, I can't trust you.

- Yep.

Thought you might
still be packing.

Congratulations. A
fine performance from St. Annes.

Doubt it.

Their baskets are a mess,
like drunk birds in a tornado.

Hey, what have I taught you
about being a good sport?

Even today?

In these circumstances?

No, you're right.

Today we're allowed to wallow.

And to do that properly,
we're going to need snacks.

Well, go to the vending
machine near the sports hall

- because it has the best...
- It has the best crisps. I know.

- Grace.
- Do you have a minute?

I have, like, one minute.

You know what? I'll
catch you later.

I just wanted to say…

I'm sorry you didn't
get to compete today.

Thanks.

I'm sorry about that too.

I realized something.

I think I know why you were talking
to my tutor and in my house.

The stuff happening around
school, you thought it was me.

What does it matter?

I was wrong.

It matters because I was hard on
you for lying, but you had a reason.

So, you know, it got me thinking
about the things I've done and…

- What's my excuse?
- And?

I think I need to get better
at taking no for an answer.

Yeah, you should work on that.

Maybe start with some
form of YouTube tutorial?

Yeah, I came back.

Uh-huh. I see that.

I didn't want you to think that I was
giving up on you, because I'm not.

I wanted to give you space, which
isn't the same thing at all,

and I wanted you to know that.

So I've said it.

I'm going now.

Evan, wait.

Thank you for giving me
space, not pressuring me, but…

you don't need to
do that anymore.

In terms of not
getting what you want,

this feels like a harsher
lesson than a YouTube tutorial.

Give me a year and I might
just be happy for them.

Attaboy.

Congratulations to
our final team to compete today.

Now it's time for the judges
to collate their scores

and pick a winner.

Okay, thank you, everyone.

What an amazing day.

Uh, I'm sure our judges are
going to have a hard time

- deciding a winner.

We interrupt regionals to
bring you an urgent message.

Earlier today, Bannerman
was disqualified.

DGM would like you
to know the truth.

Okay, yeah.

I set up Coach Harris.

But I had to do it.

I knew it would trash
Bannerman's reputation.

That's Mouse!

And she doesn't
even sound pathetic.

I knew it would
trash Bannerman's reputation.

We're DGM after all.

I spoke to Mouse and
she was so convinced

that we didn't have
anything on her.

It got me thinking how
she knew for sure and…

She must have planted
it on me yesterday.

Rumi, can you re-route
a listening device?

So the recording
comes to us? Sure.

Good, because we're
gonna need a plan B.

Christopher Beeman?

Who are you?

My name's
Clara. Clara Harris.

We're here to talk to
you about your sister.

It's just us. You can be honest.

- Promise you won't hate me?
- I could never hate you.

Okay, yeah.

I set up Coach Harris.

But I had to do it.

I knew it would trash
Bannerman's reputation.

Bannerman's
reputation.

What
about everything else?

- Leila, how do you explain that?
- Leila.

Leila got a warning. It's
not my fault that she ignored it.

You
could've stopped there!

It wasn't
enough. I had to go gaga.

- You lost yourself.
- I found myself.

Honestly, I've had
the best time, Chris,

and Bannerman can't
survive much more.

When that happens, it'll
be because I'm awesome.

I don't think
you're going anywhere.

You underestimated us.

Did you seriously think we
were just going to quit?

We're called DGM. You know
what that stands for, right?

I know. You don't get mad.

Rumes, you want to
finish that sentence?

We get even.

And you know what, Mouse?

We were always in the game.

Meg.

Will you come with me, please?

This whole situation
is highly irregular.

Yes. However,
you heard it yourself.

Coach Harris was framed.

There's no longer any reason
for our disqualification.

Except the day is
basically over.

Basically
over isn't over.

My team have worked
hard for this.

I'll need to discuss this
with the other judges.

Can he fetch us some
water while we confer?

I'm not a "he." I'm a "they."

- Sam, I don't think now is really…
- No, no, it's okay.

I apologize.

Just don't let it happen again
if you want to get hydrated.

Thank you.

So now we just wait?

Whatever happens,
you didn't give up.

You made Bannerman proud.

You fought back.

From now on, so will I.

Look at you all,

eager and waiting and hoping,

like it's Christmas and
Santa might show up.

Viola,

- go jump in a ditch.

If I did, I'd land perfectly.

Unlike someone else around here.

Sorry, do you mind if
I just… Can I just…

Sorry. So sorry.

Yeah,
sorry. Excuse me.

Yeah, thanks. Um, ooh.

Thank you.

- Hmm. Stalker.
- Technically, you ran to me.

Sure, but…

Why are you here, Jess?

If I answer honestly, it'll
ruin my plan to play it cool.

Okay, you said you never know what's
going on with me, so here it is.

I freaked out.

There were other reasons I canceled,
but that's the main one, fear.

What were you scared of?

I thought I'd date a ton of
cute girls, casually, for years,

and then maybe at 33 or something,
I'd find someone I really liked.

You turned up early.

Okay.

That was possibly the
most perfect first kiss.

Good, because the second
one's gonna be terrible.

You're right. So bad.

I guess we should kiss again to
remove the memory of kiss number two.

Can I have the
Bannerman cheer team here?

You'd better…

Yes.

I have done a lot
of running today!

- What?
- You can compete.

Yes!

It needs to happen now.

Competition hours
finish at five pm.

- You've got 5 minutes.
- Bannerman, are you ready?

- We can do this, can't we, guys?
- Yeah!

Come on, then!

Now, in a
change in the schedule,

please welcome Bannerman Cheer!

The person who put you in the
hospital is now with the police.

Yeah, because of you.

You said you'd find out who hurt
me and you kept your promise.

I admit nothing.

You, Rumi, and Grace,
it has to be you guys.

Again, I admit nothing.

You started it because
of me. You did it for me.

Don't get emotional or anything,
but there's a lot I'd do for you.

You know, I've been thinking this
team needs more than one flyer.

Hey, Dad. I mean, Coach!

Me and Clara, we're
gonna split the routine.

Didn't we just cover how
you don't need to be scared?

This isn't about fear.
This is about winning.

- I take stunts, you take baskets?
- It makes sense.

I mean, she is better
at baskets, right?

- Well, I think the team agree.
- We agree.

100% agree.

- Can we just get on with it already?
- Okay, let's do this. Come on.

- Whoo!

Thank you to all the
performers today.

Uh, please bear with us
while the judges confer.

Well done, team.

Clara.

Are you going to tell me what you
had to do with clearing my name?

Nothing.

And earlier on today, you were making
sure I hung around just long enough.

- That's just coincidence?
- Yep.

Clara, I need you
to know something.

Do you need me to
know this year?

Cut me some slack, love, please.

This is hard.

Okay, sorry.

I think you helped me.

I'm not going to push you to make
you say it, but I think you did.

Because I think you
are really smart.

When I do things that
you don't understand,

like making Leila flyer,

it's not because you're
a second thought.

It's because… It's because
I don't worry about you.

I mean,

I wouldn't mind it if
occasionally you worried about me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.

Sorry, that came out wrong.

Um…

I push Leila

because she needs pushing.

Yeah? You don't.

I look at you and I see a girl
that could rule the world.

I had no idea.

Well, that's on me.

I'm going to try to be more

obvious from now on.

More obvious that you
think I'm awesome?

Okay. Yeah, you fish
for compliments.

It's fair. You're awesome
and you're clever.

Stop.

And, um…

thank you

for saving me.

Attention, everyone.
The results are in.

- Third place goes to St. Annes.

Bannerman and Bushgrove, can
I get you both down here?

Whoo!

Amazing performances
from you both today.

And…

congratulations!

For the first time ever,
the regionals trophy

goes to Bannerman
Independent School.

Whoo!

Okay, so from
this vantage point,

I kind of feel like
this is our kingdom.

It is, in a way.

I mean, we caught
the bad guy/girl.

And we can do more.

Do you remember that thing I said
when I was running for president?

Not really, no.

I was only half-listening.

The bit about how no one here should
feel scared or alone or bullied.

I think DGM need to stick
around to make sure.

But first, Rumi, you need to tell
us what the deal is with Jess.

Oh!

And Grace needs to tell us what's
happening with her and Evan.

- Okay, yeah, lots to discuss.
- Mm!

And I kind of like
my sister now.

Yeah, we should
definitely cover that too.
