Original subtitles

Grace is gonna take her top off.

No, I'm not.

Yes, she is. You said.

You better join the catalogue, or else I'm going to slice you up.

Stop pissing everyone off and just come here.

Don't get Grace mad.

We're coming for you.

Pow.

When people imagine England

I guess they think of London and the Beatles and the royal family.

But most people have never heard of Richford Lake.

And I found out there were two sides to it.

There were people who lived on the Wetherford Estate.

They called it "The Island."

And those that didn't.

Everyone wanted to live on The Island.

Inside homes most people could only dream of.

Juliet, I would call "old money."

People like her cared about reputation and appearances

and being the perfect mother to the perfect daughter.

Allegra was given everything she wanted.

She was queen bee.

But what does a teenage girl want these days?

Good morning.

- I don't know. - Morning, Miss Juliet.

- Any sign of life? - But their house was huge.

You are one seriously bad bitch.

All right, we'll see you out there, yeah?

Yeah, yeah.

Let's go.

Come on.

Now, not everyone in Richford Lake lived on The Island.

They lived on the other side of town.

Like Lorna, they made it without mommy and daddy.

They got famous or started some business.

But I heard they came for the schools, really.

Put that away, please.

So there's money at the front of your backpack

and your dad will pick you up.

- Are you excited? - First day of big school.

Can you guys stop saying that?

All right. Love you.

- Have fun. - Mwah.

You know, people always say girls are high achievers.

And it was true of Grace. She knew she had to be the best.

It was a world of privilege for all of them.

In the most British way.

It was kind of messed up.

A beautiful fucking mirage.

How was rowing?

I am coming for that gala.

- Year 12, baby. - I know, I feel so old.

Did your mom say you could go to Jasmine's party?

Yeah, but she asked me a million questions.

She's so paranoid.

Wow, Iris!

You showed up for school this year.

And no phones during break.

She's joking. See you in English.

- Hey. - Morning.

Oh, my God, you're giving serious girlboss energy.

I need to take a photo.

Oh. Can I post it if I put a filter on it?

- Do I need one? - Uh... maybe not.

Steven needs to file the Q3 reports today.

He's dropping Mia at school.

Just reminding you about your meeting at one.

- You nervous? - No, I got it. We got it.

It's such a fun name for your debut book.

"How to Parent Your Teens.

P.S. They Can Be Your Best Friends."

Thank you. That's very sweet. Thank you.

Now, you're quite the mommy influencer yourself.

But your daughter, Allegra, she's also a social media star.

Her videos get 50,000 views.

I love seeing her express herself in creative ways.

Do you worry about the online world, deepfake apps, AI and whatnot?

No, it's a lot of fearmongering.

I think it's about trusting teenagers to know what's okay and what isn't.

There's something so exciting about being young.

- I almost miss it. - I bet you were a handful.

I still am.

- You were great on there. - Thank you.

If you ever need mic-ing again, I'd be happy to oblige.

Do you offer that service to all the guests?

Only those that want it.

What makes you think I want it?

Juliet, are you ready? Your car's waiting outside.

Ready for our big meeting?

I have my proposal.

Hm... your proposal?

Well, may I propose if you win this client

I will have sex with you tonight?

Very indecent proposal.

Sorry to interrupt, but school's on the phone.

Hello, Mrs. Gibbons. Mr. Hawkeridge won't be a moment.

Can you please take a seat?

Five minutes. That's it. All right. Bye.

I'm here to see Guy.

Mr. Hawkeridge won't be a moment.

- Can you please take a seat? - Juliet? Hi.

Hi. What are you doing here?

Oh, Allegra's got caught up in a spot of trouble, it seems.

Oh, would you look at that? So has Grace.

- I'm going to kill her. - Kill them both.

I blame the parents.

Right. Sorry to be a pain, Ruth, but I'm super busy today

and we'd like to know what exactly is going on.

Well, I have sent him a message.

Mrs. Lonsdale, I have asked that you wait.

- Guy. - Sir. I did ask them to wait.

That's okay, Ruth.

Hello. Uh... please sit down.

We appreciate you coming in, considering you're both so busy.

These things are never easy.

Um... Miss Cayman is our well-being director.

She's across all child safeguarding issues.

Do we know if this video has been shared?

We don't know. And that is concerning.

Which is why it's important to understand

exactly what's happening first.

Come.

- Mum, what are you doing here? - You're fine.

Everything's fine. Come and sit down.

Hey. It's okay.

We need to discuss something with you both...

that might be upsetting or embarrassing.

There was a video shown to a teacher today

that was not only inappropriate

but a serious safety concern for the school.

In the video, you were dancing in underwear.

You appeared high, and you were displaying

sexually explicit behavior.

Which isn't necessarily wrong to express.

It's just how you express it.

Are you both aware that it is illegal to share videos of this nature

even of yourselves?

Can we see the video?

As Miss Cayman explained to your parents, the video was deleted

before we could apprehend the phone.

But you were identified.

I mean, I do make videos

but I would never post that sort of content.

This is offensive.

And if one of our peers is making up rumors about us

then we have a right to know who it is.

We are not able to reveal the name of the pupil

but I do need to ask

whether someone pressured you to film something.

- No. - Girls.

A video might disappear, but reputations last forever.

Are you saying we were being sexual with each other?

Oh, sorry. Am I making you all feel uncomfortable?

It's okay if you and Grace are... exploring.

- Is that what this is? - No. We're not.

We haven't made any video.

We're being accused of something we haven't done without any proof.

I have never sent a video of myself in underwear, ever.

This meeting is patronizing and violent.

Don't get upset.

It is possible they've been misidentified.

I mean, if Allegra says she hasn't recorded a video

I believe her.

- Lorna? - Uh...

- Yes. - We trust our daughters.

So unless you can show us evidence, this needs to be dropped.

Girls, you can head back to lessons

but we are taking this extremely seriously.

We appreciate your time.

What the fuck?

Someone has done this. Someone's got it in for us.

Grace, I'm not gonna let anyone fuck with us.

Mrs. Lonsdale, if they are making lewd videos--

Oh, come on!

Lewd videos? For goodness sakes, it's 2025.

And even if they did do it, I'm not having you

sex-shame teenage girls.

I mean, God forbid they take their chastity belts off next.

I can arrange for Grace and Allegra

to speak to one of our private counselors here.

Sorry. Grace does not need therapy.

She loves being a prefect. She's never been in trouble before.

We can't risk upsetting other pupils, parents

- the Board of Governors would-- - Perhaps you'd prefer to speak

to my father, Lord Akerly.

Be a great excuse for him to come and view

the science block he paid for.

Uh... it's in all our interests to draw a line under this.

I should caution, however, that there's usually

no smoke without fire.

He thinks we don't know our own daughters.

Condescending prick.

Lucky I don't pull Allegra out of this school.

If she wasn't nearly finished, I would.

You wouldn't. None of us would.

I flogged myself to get Grace in this place.

The girls here will be running the country one day.

But he needs to stop being such a misogynist.

He's got an obsession.

He sees every form of self-expression as rebellion.

I mean, they're probably just bored. It's like that at all girls' schools.

Do you think they did it? 16, filming themselves in underwear?

Even if they did do it, they certainly won't be doing it again.

It could stay online forever if it was shared.

I don't want Grace to think that she can lie to me.

We have an honest relationship. She tells me stuff.

No, no. Of course.

Same with me and Allegra. Completely.

But look, I'm choosing to believe Allegra and Grace.

Fine. But let's speak to them properly.

Shit. I have a meeting.

Well...

Where do you think Ruth gets her hair cut?

- Stop. You are terrible. - No! Why?

No, I like it.

Don't stress. Please.

I won't.

What do you think Ferdinand meant

by "Whether we fall by ambition, blood or lust.

Like diamonds, we are cut with our own dust"?

Just have a think about that.

If you remember

what we discussed in the other lessons...

Hi, Lorna?

Hi. Yes. That's me.

- Pleased to meet you. I'm Penny. - Afternoon.

- Thank you for meeting me. - This is lovely.

I don't come out to Surrey very much, but I drove through The Island.

- What a beautiful place to live. - Yes, they're very lucky.

I'd love to tell you about how we work with all our clients

to establish their financial goals

and advise on investments that feel genuinely personalized.

I'm so sorry.

Excuse me for just jumping in. Would you like a coffee or...

Um...

I'm not actually here to talk about my financial portfolio.

I apologize if this feels forward, but I wanted to make sure

we could meet in person.

I'm here on behalf of my client.

Your client? Who's your client?

Jeremy Trevy.

Mr. Trevy wants to propose an arrangement.

An arrangement?

I can't undo what's already been fucking done.

"A complex analysis

that encourages self-reflection as a mother.

Can't wait to see what she tackles next."

These came for you.

Do you like them?

They're to say well done on your new book.

- My goodness, they're beautiful. - Ew.

I'm sorry. I forgot showing any form of affection is disgusting.

Well, she's not your girlfriend, weirdo.

Okay, well, then you can post them online if you like

and pretend you bought them.

Or maybe I can buy you a dildo and you can make a video--

Allegra. I'm right here.

Arthur, she didn't mean it.

Can you both come here and take a photo with me?

It'll take two seconds.

Really lovely. Arthur, smile.

Okay.

Well, these are nice.

Arthur, darling. Oh.

Did you make that video?

No. I have a boyfriend.

Did you make it for Hugo?

Someone is trying to mess with me

and get everyone to follow like sheep.

Don't be a sheep.

I'm not a sheep. I'm your mother.

I wish Dad was here.

I know you miss him.

But I'm here.

Can you finish your second glass of wine?

I don't want to be late. I have Jasmine's party tonight.

At the start of every school year

it was a chance for the parents of Richford Lake to fundraise

show off their daughters and gossip about each other.

But they should have been listening to what their daughters

were talking about that day.

Maybe things wouldn't have gone so wrong.

I'd like to thank you all again for your support

and ask Mr. Freddie Gladstone to formally open

our new multi-purpose music center, the SCA.

And I knew. I knew that video was going to cause problems.

They look so bad.

She's right. They look terrible.

Look, I'm sorry I didn't have time to bake for you.

I was too busy running a company while you got us a shiny new client.

Did we land it?

I think so, yeah. Almost.

I'm proud of you.

Look, if Grace says she didn't do the video, then she didn't do it.

Well, it's not exactly easy to confuse her

with the other girls, is it?

Hey, it could have been any one

of the other six or seven Black students.

They still mistake me for the caretaker.

- And he's 60. - Did you get into a lot of trouble?

We nearly did, so obviously we're pissed.

Allegra's gonna find out who did this

and then they're done for.

What is she going to do?

Shh. My mom's coming.

Oh hey, Lorna. You look good.

Oh hi, Iris. Sold many raffle tickets?

Daniel says if we sell them all, we get to sit in on a procedure.

Would a doctor say that? I don't think I said that.

Sorry, I have to steal Grace for a minute.

Of course. But will you tell your husband I want to see him at Padel?

Okay.

I don't get why I have to help Daniel with the raffle.

I mean, the parents here could buy a thousand pianos.

Why do we have to pretend to fundraise?

You're helping because I'm trying to teach you a good work ethic.

Sorry life is so hard.

Yeah.

Being called into the headmaster's office on the first day of term...

not a good look.

I said no about the video, and you don't believe me.

I know I have to be better than everyone else.

But you have to trust me.

I do. I...

You're my heart.

Come on.

You're my heart too, Mum.

- Hi, Juliet. - This is painful.

Do you wanna go to the toilets and do a quick line?

Yeah. My dealer's on the way.

Allegra asked if Grace can stay tonight, by the way.

I'd rather they didn't go to Jasmine's party tonight.

God, no. I'm not picking them up.

How'd it go with Allegra?

Oh, she feels dreadful. Absolutely dreadful.

No idea why anyone would make it up.

Good thing is, the school is gonna want to keep this quiet.

- What's up, bitches? - Why is my mum wearing a headband?

She's so rogue. It's like she's trying to look toxic.

I heard you guys are freaking 'cause Grace and I got in trouble.

I mean, yeah, we are, because you haven't told us about this video.

So someone at our school went to the teachers?

Yes. Clearly this girlie has it in for us.

Hey.

Does that mean I'm in the catalogue?

Yeah.

- Okay. - The vote's on Sunday.

Do the school know about the catalogue?

No. But we need to find out who the snake is.

And cut her head off.

I saw Juliet on television this morning.

I put the link in the mods group. It was amazing.

And Francis told me you're going to be in Tatler.

Thank you, I am. So hopefully someone buys the book.

Did they pay you a lot of money to write it?

Jelena, you can't ask things like that.

Oh, Susan will be turning in her grave.

Freddie barely knows her.

Six months, and he's moved her into the house.

What does she know about mothering? She's 12.

She's super rich, apparently. Part of that Californian set.

I thought she was a yoga teacher.

Gold digger alert. Hey, Gigi.

Hi. Such a beautiful space.

The girls here are so lucky.

I'll be working with the school too, actually.

- Oh, that'll be exciting for you. - It is.

And I wanted to remind you guys about my little lunch this weekend.

All the moms and teens are welcome.

I'll be talking about my life coaching.

Ooh, that's one step too woo-woo for me.

Allegra's been seeing Gigi, actually.

Has she?

I know it's not very British

but, uh, it's hard for teenagers these days

what with all the pandemic PTSD.

Poppy's always making stuff up.

Oh, no way. She's a pussy.

- Can you not say that? - What, pussy?

- It's just a word, Noori. - Who do you think?

I don't fucking know. What about a teacher?

Oh, maybe Mr. Roberts. 'Cause Grace wouldn't suck his dick.

What? It's so obvious he fancies you.

Shut up! He's my rowing coach.

He's sex-mad and he wants to put it in your face!

Oh, my God, Ally!

What? Girls can be sex-mad too.

He's so fit, though. And he's older.

Now, I spoke to the school secretary earlier.

Apparently a couple of the girls have got in trouble for sharing...

...a nude video.

- Really? - Yeah.

Gosh. That's terrible.

Truly. That sort of behavior is contagious.

Maybe the parent should read your book.

Yes. Very good.

Good evening.

Pleased to meet you. My name's Juliet.

- Your wife. - So you are.

Stop.

Raef just got back from a cricket event in Pakistan.

Were you playing?

I'm not playing. Not anymore.

Just schmoozing and shaking hands.

You must be so proud of the book.

I'm beaming. It's what Jules deserves.

People finally taking notice of her brilliance.

Are you sure the school haven't seen the catalogue?

The app's private.

Well, they have enough access to have proof.

Who said they have proof?

Yeah. What proof?

Well, I'm just guessing.

The teachers must know something about the app, no?

Hey, everyone chill.

Okay? They don't have proof.

Maybe it's time to delete it.

Sorry, I forgot you were too cool to be in the catalogue anymore.

Anyway, who's excited to go to K Rizz's motive later?

- Don't you mean Jasmine? - I hope there are lots of hot boys.

I know. You know K Rizz asked Allegra to be part of Rizz House.

I can't believe K Rizz wants to collab with you.

He's literally famous.

Well, I've got to impress him first.

I would be dead.

Speak of the devil.

I hope you know what you're doing.

... next up, we've got

the top five most overrated influencers

as decided by me, K Rizz.

- Bye. - Bye.

Aria Vonn. Listen, your hair is terrible...

Show me.

Number two, Kailey Bleu.

Does she know that we can touch her lip filler through the screen?

And her voice is bare annoying. Get out of here.

Just get out of here, man, with your dead lips.

It's perfect.

Yes. That was amazing.

Thank you so much.

Whoo!

- Juliet. - Oh, hi.

Will I see you at my lunch?

Uh... Sorry. Yes.

I'll try and swing by.

I know you all love Susan

and I understand people are skeptical

but I hope you do come.

Best thing to do is put it in the mods group.

Everything important gets put there. Social calendar.

- Coffee-- - Would you add me?

I asked Frances. But she... she hasn't responded.

Frances is the admin.

She likes candles.

Candles? Thank you, friend. Allegra.

That was so good.

Thank you.

- See you at our next session. - Oh, I can't wait.

Dad wants to leave, so can we go?

I know you're feeling upset, but... can I have a hug?

You're so like me, it's terrifying.

Ugh, Mum.

You're drunk.

Oh, sorry.

Well, actually, Allegra, I wanted to talk to you.

Um, Mia showed me a video that you sent her.

This K Rizz is rating girls on how unattractive he thinks they are.

Well, it is on the Internet.

She is gonna see that sort of stuff.

Yeah, that's not the point.

It's mean. And I don't want you sending it to Mia.

- She's 11. - I only sent it to her

because she's all sad, like a little puppy.

What do you mean, sad?

You didn't ask her about her first day at school.

I forget things too when I'm busy.

Love you.

Do you think Frances knows something?

Oh, God. She knows nothing. She's a drunk, like me.

Oh.

Fancy a glass of wine?

Uh, no. No, I'm off to bed.

I'm hungry. I don't want to be too bloated later.

- Maybe Martha can make something. - Dad's just tired from his trip.

Come on. I'll make a hot chocolate before bed.

Let's go.

- Can I have marshmallows on mine? - Be a crime not to.

Raef is such a girl dad.

Why doesn't he sleep in the house with your mum?

They say it's because he has sleep apnea, but it's because he hates her.

- But why does he hate her? - Because she thinks she's perfect.

We're gonna get off our tits.

Ooh, I should wear something like this.

No fucking way. That's not your brand.

What's my brand then, Kris Jenner?

Your brand is "Bad Bitches Do It Better."

Give the fans what they want, and then we'll be rich.

I'm already rich.

Generational wealth, bitch.

I'm gonna be disgustingly rich.

And I'm going to be fucking famous.

Night, girls.

- Good night. - Good night, Mum.

Oh, my God. There he is.

- Yo, Leggy. Welcome to Rizz House. - Yo.

You're about to tear the Internet up. Ready for later, yeah?

Born ready. Thanks for inviting my friends.

Yeah, it's all good.

Enjoy the party. I'll come find you.

Oh, come on.

Don't be neeky. I took it.

I guess it's a crime to have an original thought in your head.

You would know about crimes. Isn't your dad like a war criminal?

At least he doesn't sit around all day in his boxers smoking heroin.

What a fucking fake justice warrior.

You're such a dick, Hugo.

Shut up! Shots! Let's do shots.

I'll check on her.

- I think it's Iris. - Hm.

- She said something earlier. - Yeah.

Fucking snitch. How fucking dare she do this to us?

What's the fucking secret?

Did you share the photos with anyone?

I'm not stupid. None of my boys are. What's going on?

We've got an issue with someone.

Iris.

Frances is sniffing around about the video.

Hm... Not good.

You know Gigi is Allegra's life coach?

Who's Gigi?

Freddie's new, much younger American girlfriend.

Everyone in this town needs a therapist.

Therapy isn't a bad thing.

You just don't like to talk about stuff.

Yeah, because I get on with it.

Hopefully it helps with Allegra's attitude.

- She's so full of herself. - Yeah. Like father, like daughter.

I knew you were gonna bring him up.

I don't get why you never liked Raef.

Well, at least I'm honest about it. Unlike you.

Well, you don't like your best friend's daughter.

Well, no. Okay.

I worry about her.

Juliet doesn't have the same kind of relationship that me and Grace do.

I know she's written the book and everything, but, you know

children need boundaries, not money.

Right.

Maybe Grace will rub off on her. She's a good kid.

As opposed to Allegra, who's a bad one?

No, I didn't say...

Why isn't this app working? I can't see her location.

Get off the app. Grace is fine.

Come back to bed.

You're tense.

Let me help you relax.

I'm sorry. I'm not...

I'm not really feeling...

Maybe I could lie here and touch myself while you watch.

Forget it.

I love you.

I love you too.

Iris. It's Iris.

Did you go to the teachers?

Excuse me? I told you, it's not me.

- You guys, stop. - Was it fucking you?

- Back off, Allegra! - You told someone.

Stop showing these photos. It's so messed up.

So it was you.

- It's just an app. - No, it's not.

Why don't you just run away again? Oh, wait.

Maybe because your parents don't fucking care.

Allegra.

What's up? Are you cool?

She's lying.

- Bitch. - You good?

- Yeah. - Are you ready?

It's showtime.

You got this.

We know it was you.

Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything

it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing.

I don't know what that means, Iris.

Hey.

This is what you wanted, yeah?

Recording.

You ready, yeah? Okay. What's going on, people?

Yo! You know we just moved into our new house

and we got a little something for you.

- Yeah. - Introducing Leggy xoxo.

She's out here killing it right now, so let's go.

Okay.

Hey.

Call me a whore.

You filthy whore!

Hey. Hey!

Leggy xoxo.

Trina as well. Killing it, killing it.

I told you. It goes off in Rizz House.

Hey, what are you saying? What?

What can I say?

Why did you tell the teachers?

Grace, I know he's sharing photos from the catalogue

and putting them online.

Who is?

You know who.

You're in love with him. Why do you even like him?

What are you talking about?

What the fuck?

Brother.

Nah, what's going on? This is my party, bro. You're not invited.

Aye, call the police if you got a problem.

It's our party now.

We need to go. Where's Allegra?

- You're lying, Grace! - Iris!

- You're lying! - Wait! Iris!

Get a picture, man.

Oi, you.

What did you do? Why are you wet?

What's going on?

Have you girls been out?

I could say the same about you.

It was maybe too easy to say that people underestimated them

because they were women. Teenage girls.

But it was probably true.

Nobody knew what they were capable of.

Even me.

You better join the catalogue, or else I'm going to slice you up.

Pow.

Until it was too late.
