Original subtitles

And what about Ashton? You could try dealing with him?

So it's all right for him to wreck my family life,

but you don't want him anywhere near yours. Hey, I never said that.

JOE: He's been written off too many times.

He needs someone who's going to put him first for once in his life.

And that has to be you? Well, I don't see anyone else stepping up.

Domestic abuse? You're talking like we're married.

Jared is 17.

And good looking, charming.

And something like that could never happen to someone like you, right?

But one day, you will realise it is happening...

..and you've got no idea how to make it stop.

So when you need me, I'm only a phone call away.

Libby! Did he do this to you?

I just want to come home.

Hey, come on. Let's not be late.

Get through this meeting and then everything will be back to normal.

I know how you feel.

It broke my heart when your mum left us.

Mum didn't report you to the police.

And the police didn't charge you,

because they know that teenage tiffs are normal.

A rite of passage.

I miss her.

You can't let this derail your studies

any more than it has already.

I'll see you in the car.

Are you sure you can't notice anything?

Yes, don't worry. Cat's done a really good job of hiding it.

You can barely see the bruising now.

I don't want to see him.

I shouldn't have to. It's not fair.

Yeah, I know.

But this mediation will be supervised and safe.

Listen, I will never forgive myself for not protecting you from him,

but that's going to change now,

because I am going to be with you.

Hmm?

Here, I got you something.

It's a...

It's a personal attack alarm.

Now, I know you think that's over the top.

If Jared even comes within spitting distance...

Thanks.

CORAL: Neil, can you shut the door, please?

Come on, then. We're going to be late.

Jared and his dad are here. What?

Well, they're early.

I know. Shall I offer them some tea?

Oh, no. We can dispense with the pleasantries.

If the police had charged Jared,

we wouldn't be going through this palaver of mediation.

Just tell them to wait. OK.

PHONE VIBRATES

Helmet, head. Hmm?

And you shouldn't be wearing those, either.

Did you never do your bikeability?

No. I just got this ability to steal bikes.

Right, don't joke about that.

No, my dad never bought me a helmet.

So, you know, that's 1-0 to you and Mike.

Well, fostering is not about keeping scores.

But how about we make it 2-0, take you out for dinner tonight?

No, I'm busy tonight.

Yeah? Doing what?

Well, my dad never asked questions.

So that's 1-1.

Erm, I will have a tenner, though, if you're offering?

No. That's... that's not how it works.

Er, well, what do you need money for?

Forget about it.

Yeah? First day back at school,

you've got your big brother to show you the ropes.

It's not my first day, is it, though?

Yeah, it's a new building.

Yeah, you might get lost.

Wish someone would.

Izzy! Listen, I've got all my old mates here -

don't need to be so, like, happy family, all right?

Wow. She really don't like me being around, does she?

No, she...she does.

You know, it's just going to take a bit of time to get used to it.

You know, it's just been her and Tommy for as long as

she can remember. PHONE RINGS

Sorry, got to take this.

Hello? Hello, this is Moorhill Primary.

Yeah. Can you come in to chat about Tommy's behaviour?

Yeah, I'll be there straight away. Thanks very much. OK, bye-bye.

Right, I've got to go.

All right? I'll see you later.

I'm sorry about this.

It's fine. Libby's always fashionably late.

His mum was the same.

It's a woman's prerogative.

KNOCK AT DOOR Come in.

I think it's just the one introduction needed.

Mr Guthrie, this is Mr Jones, Jared's father.

We missed each other at Parent's Evening.

Mm, apologies.

My partner went into labour.

So I heard. Congratulations.

Can I just say, before we start...?

No. Er, you'll have a chance to talk later.

The school environment has to be a safe environment for every student.

And the purpose of this meeting is to ensure

that that is the case going forward.

Of course.

I completely agree.

Did you not hear Mrs Drake?

We are not here to listen to you.

Hey! All Jared wants is to put everything back into proportion.

Oh, so you're accusing my daughter of putting things out of proportion!

Gentlemen, that's enough!

We're here because Libby reported Jared for coercive control.

The police conducted an investigation but, ultimately,

decided there wasn't enough evidence to press charges.

Despite her black eye literally staring them in the face.

I didn't do anything.

She fell. Hmm.

And you didn't systematically isolate her from her family,

cut her off from everyone, lock her in a caravan?

Mr Guthrie... Actually, she locked me in the caravan.

My dad found me.

You know, the police wouldn't need any evidence

if you just told the truth.

I did.

I explained everything that happened between us, rationally.

The bad as well as the good times.

No, you lied. Like you always do.

You lie and you twist!

You called the police on me.

Am I not allowed to defend myself?

Look, I would never deliberately hurt you,

and if I ever did upset you, then I'm sorry.

Upset me? You gave me this!

No, no. No, you attacked me.

Yes, the argument was my fault

because I prioritised my homework over spending time with Libby,

but she went for me and she lost her footing.

Oh, my God. Are you for real?

This is not the first time that it's happened.

He...he's grabbed me by the hair,

and he...he's pushed me on the floor.

And before me, there was Chanelle.

Or was she making it up as well?

Libby, we're not here to pick over

what the police have already investigated.

Rightly or wrongly, Jared has the right to remain in the school.

NEIL: Libs... No, I'm not staying here. He's dangerous.

I'm not safe here. I'll go back to New Zealand.

Hey, fam.

Want to chill tonight?

Lucy's going out - you could come over.

Erm...

Yeah, I'm already out.

Where? I never see you any more.

I'm going for tea with Joe and Mike.

So, er, another time, yeah?

I'm sorry that you had to go through this, Libby,

but you can't throw away your education.

My education? Have you seen what he's done to my grades?

You can catch up. I can't.

Not with the threat of him.

Yeah, but if you drop out now, that scumbag wins.

You're a strong, intelligent young woman.

You stood up to him on your own.

Now you'll have our support.

What does that even mean?

I propose that you're kept apart and you don't engage with each other.

I will get a new timetable drawn up

so that you don't have to share any classes with him.

Would you be happy with that?

BELL RINGS

So, remember, you use the present tense of the verb...

Ah, je sue content de te revoir, Izzy.

Merci, Monsieur.

Sorry I'm late. I got lost.

Pas de probleme.

Take a seat.

OK, so... Budge.

..we're going to work together in pairs through the exercise,

turning present tense into past.

Yes? All got that?

Great.

I want to come tonight.

I'm sorry?

I barely see Schuey any more.

And he's acting weird.

Like you've turned him against me.

Portia, we would never do that.

Then let me come to tea.

We aren't going to tea.

Well, he told me you were.

Well, he told me that he had other plans.

Agnes plans.

She's the one getting in his head, isn't she?

Er, you need to...

You've got some work to do, haven't you?

Yeah, good. Thank you.

Ahem.

I'll get your teachers to print out their lesson plans.

Why do I have to work alone?

It's for your own safety.

That's what they tell prison snitches

when they put them in solitary.

Why am I the one being treated like a criminal?

It's only for a few hours so Mr Casey can rejig the timetable

so you won't be in any of Jared's classes.

You are not being punished, Libby.

We're given the chance to catch up on your studies,

rebuild your life and move on.

And if he so much as looks in your direction, you let me know.

How? I've not got a phone, and you're on paternity leave.

Not any more.

This is too important.

I've got loads of paperwork to catch up on,

and I can keep checking in on you.

OK.

There's no need to cut short your paternity leave.

You can trust me with her safeguarding.

Well, no offence, and as much as I'm happy to toe the party line

to reassure my daughter, and I admit I dropped the ball too,

this all happened in this school...

..on your watch.

Fine. I'll get Wendy to amend the paperwork.

Thanks for coming in, Mr Charles.

So, like I said at parents' evening,

Tommy's been getting on really well in year three

and I'm very happy with his work.

Ah, he loves school more than his old man did.

We have had to have a talk about your behaviour recently,

though, haven't we, Tommy?

What have you been up to, mate?

You've been pretending to shoot your friends and teachers.

Well, that's just little boys for you, isn't it?

You know, cops and robbers, bows and arrows.

It's the level of violence I'm concerned about.

He said he'd seen it on a video game.

And I'm afraid other parents have complained.

I-I-I'm sorry, but I don't let him play violent video games.

Are you sure he hasn't got it from one of his friends at school?

Tommy?

I've been playing with Ashton.

That's his new brother, isn't it?

Tommy's been talking about him a lot.

Yeah, well, I'm...I'm sorry about that.

I'll, er...

I'll have a word.

We've also had to talk about your swearing, haven't we?

Hey, Ton, check this out.

Answers to Miss Chandra's homework.

Where did you get them?

She copied and pasted it off the internet.

Ooh! Ooh, rookie error.

Mm-hm.

Means you're free tonight if you fancy the cinema?

Maybe.

Is Izzy coming?

No, she's not. It's just you, me and a nacho combo.

Like a date?

No, no, no, no. It's just, you know, Izzy's been kind of off with me.

Been a proper ice queen with me recently.

Just cos she doesn't know you.

Just give her time and she'll realise that you're all right.

Just all right?

No. No, that's bad.

Hmm?

Sir...

..it's break. I know.

I know, I just want to see what you're plugging into, eh?

What is it, eh? Is it grime? Drill?

Is it drill?

No, erm, it's actually only suitable for those under the age of 40.

Under the age of 40?

You cheeky little...

I can't believe they let him stay.

Innocent until proven guilty, apparently.

Oi, what's up with you and lover boy?

Look, they think you've split up.

So, did he find someone else or did you do the dirty on him?

Come on, why did he dump you?

Actually, she dumped him.

There's no way she finished it.

She were punching well above with him.

Look, ignore them.

They're idiots. Rude!

Er, you're not allowed to talk to her.

You had every right to report me.

I've got you something.

No hard feelings?

It was my mum's. You can give it back to her, then.

I can't.

She left when I was little.

Er, guys, no. Y-You're not meant to be having any commun...

Just give us a second. That's what I was saying.

Libs?

Libby?

STACE: Oh-ho-ho!

She put it in the bin!

Well, what did I say?

Hey, she defo did the dumping.

You did say that.

Always right.

Stella, I've got Coral on the line.

Oh, right, OK.

Ahem.

Hiya, Coral. How are you doing? How's George?

Stella, hi. Yeah, he's wonderful.

I mean, it's...it's difficult at times, but it's wonderful.

Oh, great. Oh, and I'm sorry that, erm, Neil

wants to cut short his paternity leave to look after Libby.

Please tell me you're joking.

Oh, right. You didn't know.

Oh, I'm sorry if I've put my foot in it.

It's all right. It's not your fault

Neil has abandoned me with our one-week-old baby!

Oh, all right. OK, thanks, Coral.

Hmm. I bet that went down like a proverbial excrement sandwich.

Maybe she's had enough of his neurotic fussing.

Well, she's a natural mother, that one.

Yeah.

LINE RINGING Hello?

Hi, Sam, i-it's Mum.

Hello, er, this isn't Sam.

Sorry, who is this?

We live next door.

We found the phone in the road.

Where's Sam?

Come on. Big smiles, it's not that bad.

Er, ooh, could I have a word?

Er, I'd like to pay for tonight.

See, we were going to take Schuey for dinner

but as he's already got plans, erm,

you know, I'd still like to pay for him.

I'll, er... I'll give you the cash after class.

OK, before you make this look any more inappropriate

than it already does,

I'm not going out with Schuey later.

Oh.

Well, I-I just assumed that...

..when he said he had plans, that it would be...

With me? Mm.

No. If you still want to pay...

No. No, that would be inappropriate, wouldn't it?

Yeah?

Thank you, Agnes.

I'm going out.

Er, you've got a video call with Serena Michelle in ten minutes.

My daughter's in hospital.

Bye.

Here you are.

The money from the charity cake sale.

Yours sold out straight away.

Thank you.

And what did your last arcade worker die of?!

I don't know why you're giving me evils,

it's your sister who's got a screw loose.

What did you say?

Stay away from Libby, you nutter.

Stop with the mind games.

Who's playing?

Hey! Right, Mrs Drake's office now!

NISHA: So, if we expand that out, we get

two x squared

plus 12x

plus 18.

Yeah?

How about this one?

MUSIC FROM EARPHONES BLARES

Schuey?

STUDENTS GIGGLE

Take them out.

Out! You can have them back at the end of lesson.

Fine.

Go to Mrs Drake.

Ah, er, Mrs Drake's got a lot on, so I thought...

Hmm. Thanks, Wendy.

I'll deal with her.

I don't need to be dealt with. Jared does.

Isn't he supposed to be staying away from her?

That's right. So what's he doing giving her a necklace

in the canteen?

See? Nobody's doing anything about it, so we need to.

Yeah, but that's what he wants, he wants to draw us in.

We just need to protect Libby.

Oh, yeah, but that... Jared will get what's coming to him soon enough.

Come on.

I owe you one. Libby's the one that's owed

after what that boy put her through.

What...? Er...

MUSIC BLARES

It's OK.

Just got something for you.

I don't want anything from you.

The necklace was stupid.

I was desperate and...

..well...

..here you go.

I went round our teachers and got revision sheets.

I know you're worried about falling behind.

And, erm...

..some notes from class this morning.

Thanks.

But it's not going to change anything.

We're done.

I know.

I've accepted it's over.

Just happy with memories.

Just, erm, one question.

Were you ever happy with me?

Yeah, of course.

But that was before I knew what you were like.

That...that was the real me.

That was who you deserved, not the...the angry me.

Looking back, I don't even recognise that person,

so, yeah, it must have been so confusing for you.

Not any more.

I know what you are.

Then you know that, even at my worst, I'd never want to hurt you.

You didn't have to call the police on me, though.

That wasn't going to change anything.

Only I can change me.

I need to take responsibility for myself.

Work on being a better person.

I'm sorry.

No, wait.

Maybe I did overreact.

It's OK.

I understand why you did.

And I respect your space.

I just don't want to lose you completely.

Maybe we can talk later?

As friends?

Maybe.

What's that?

Nothing. It's just summat Ashton gave me to help with my homework.

Yeah, right.

No, seriously.

Because he wants to go to the cinema with me.

Right.

You two seem pretty friendly lately.

You know, it's fine if you don't want to go cinema with him.

Don't let him...don't let him pressure you.

He's not.

He's actually being really nice.

He always is, it's just...

The feeling's not mutual?

It's just, I'm still trying to get my head around the endo.

And it's not just the pain.

It's...it's how it's going to change my life.

Listen, there's plenty of time for boys when you're older.

Just concentrate on you for now, yeah?

Good girl.

Ah, oh!

Game over.

Hey, I had a burger riding on that.

Game over!

Come on. Right, er...

Speak to you in a minute, Dwayne, yeah?

What? What?

What do you think you're doing gaming with Tommy?

He's been pretending to massacre his class.

I told you not to play violent games!

Oh, that. Yes, that.

The kid's eight. He shouldn't be playing shooting games!

Look, he wasn't playing.

He were watching when I wasn't looking

and then started asking all these questions.

And what, you've been teaching him how to swear whilst you're at it?

No.

I don't swear!

I swear I haven't been swearing.

I'm sorry, do you think this is funny?

No.

Sorry.

You know, your mum said this is a bad idea.

Oh, no. Don't listen to her.

It's barely been a week.

A week!

And already she's being proved right.

Sort it out.

Oh.

Tell me you haven't been sent here.

I haven't been sent here.

And who didn't send you here?

Miss Chandra.

Why?

She was trying to get these.

Yeah? You shouldn't have those in class.

Yeah, I know.

Sorry.

Er, where did you get them anyway?

Just a mate.

A mate? A mate.

Is this the mate that you are seeing tonight?

Just a mate.

Er, why did you tell Portia that you were coming for dinner

with me and Mike?

Er...

OK.

Why don't you invite your friend out with us?

No! Erm...

It's a nice offer, but no.

Ah. You're embarrassed of us.

No!

No, of course not, sir.

It's just that he's, erm...

..shy.

"He." OK.

Well, I...

..would like to pay...

..for your dinner. There you are.

Thanks.

Should get sent out more often. Er, no.

No. Just, go on.

Get to where you need to be, yeah?

Hey, keep those out of your ears.

Ooh.

Lovely.

Have you seen an envelope of cash? It was just here.

Hmm?

Oh, no.

Is everything OK?

Yeah, why wouldn't it be?

Just sussing whether you're salty or sweet.

Popcorn...at the cinema.

Erm, about that.

I find it uncomfortable to sit still for such a long time.

Yeah, absolutely. Understood.

Er, how about bowling?

I'll let you have the rails up.

I've just had an operation, remember?

Look, Ashton, I really like you.

But just as a friend.

And I don't want to lose that.

Yeah. No, no. Me neither.

Yeah, friends is good.

First Dad, now Tonya.

That Ashton charm is really working a treat.

Yeah, lap it up. You've got what you wanted.

If Donte gets his way, I won't be in your life for much longer.

STUDENTS EXCLAIM Er, no, no.

Put him down.

It's cool, yeah? See you laters.

Cheers, mate.

Er, Cat told me what happened in the canteen.

Why didn't you tell me? You've got to report him, Dad!

Well, from now on, if he goes anywhere near you, you call me.

Cheers, Dad!

Upgrade! Thanks, Jared.

Too soon? Er, these are for safety, not for socials.

Of course, thanks.

Oh.

How thoughtful.

What would have been more thoughtful is having the decency to tell me

you'd cancelled your paternity leave.

Oh, I am sorry, love. I was just about to call.

It's fine.

How are you, after this morning?

Well, he's still allowed to stay,

but he can't come near me.

Like that's stopped him.

Well, at least you've got your dad here to keep an eye on him.

Thanks. Right, I shall see you later.

Er, Coral?

Are you forgetting something?

I have got a postnatal appointment, remember?

Nappies are in the bag.

He's definitely due a change.

Hi.

I'm here to see Samantha Drake. I'm her mother.

Why don't you take a seat, Mrs Drake?

OK.

My name is Ade, I am one of the nurses who admitted your daughter.

Well, thank you for looking after her.

Is she all right? She's resting.

And calm.

Can I ask how you knew your daughter was here?

Erm, when...when I called her, her neighbour answered.

They'd found her phone in the road.

So, can I see her?

I'm afraid not.

But I'm her mother.

We had to medicate her quite heavily.

But she has also told us that she doesn't want to see you.

Well, that's not right.

I had a missed call from her earlier.

I didn't know that she was having a turn.

She...she doesn't know what she's saying.

When Samantha's psychotic episode,

"turn" as you put it, was brought under control,

I explained to her that she was being detained under

Section Three of the Mental Health Act.

You are her emergency contact.

Exactly, that's why you should have contacted me.

She asked me not to.

Well, that's not her decision to make.

Or yours.

When was the last time you saw your daughter, Mrs Drake?

I beg your pardon.

A couple of months maybe. I...

I've been busy.

Samantha said it was almost a year.

The day after her son's birthday.

Well, it sounds like you had a lovely little chat, doesn't it?

She's in crisis, yet she can still convince you all

that I'm the worst mother in the world.

Your daughter is in the best place for her.

I will let her know that you came by.

If she changes her mind about seeing you,

I'll be in contact straight away.

I'm sorry.

I know it's difficult.

What's happened to her children?

BELL RINGS

OK.

Look at each of the equations and use differentiation

to work out the tangent of the curve at the marked points.

We're going to spend the next section of the lesson

working through these.

I want you to remember... Mate. ..the tangent line...

Have you seen this? ..touches the curve at just one point,

and shows the direction the curve is going at that point.

It's worth recapping everything the we've...

PHONE CHIMES

A bit like mechanics, the rate of change of displacement

when thinking about time, is the...

PHONE CHIMES

..something we need to know about now,

but this is also known as the Leibniz notation.

Try to include quite a few examples on the worksheet I've handed out.

But questions might ask you to... Give me your phone.

..differentiate the function... I'm on a high score.

Let me have it! Whoa, easy, fella!

Hey, hey! Hey, what's going on?

He's trying to nick my phone there, sir.

Hey, Jared! Hey!

Schuey.

A moment?

Er, some money has gone missing from Wendy's desk.

You think I took it?

Well, I think you were in the area.

Also, I think I saw you with your new friend at the gate.

You don't know him.

And you don't know me.

OK. Er, why did you lie to Portia about what you're doing tonight?

That's my business. Well, missing money is mine.

So can you show me what's in the bag, please?

No.

Sorry, I thought you'd changed.

I have changed.

But you are still assuming the worst of me.

OK, well, then show me what's in the bag...

Schue...Schuey, don't... Well, that's not... Schuey!

HE SIGHS

Oh, my God...

INDISTINCT CHATTER

ALARM BLARES

GIRL: Is that the fire alarm?

What's the rush?

There's no fire.

You set the alarm off, didn't you?

What choice did you give me?

Right, year nines, can you get in a line, please?

We're going to do a register, OK?

OK, year 11s, let's get together.

It's always you out of line, isn't it?

Go on!

Right, where was I?

ALARM CONTINUES

They'll come looking for us.

Good, then you can tell them that all this stuff that's been

happening between us has been some stupid misunderstanding.

Just listen!

Libby, just... just...

Just listen to me! Just...

All I'm asking for is one more chance.

Please, let go of me.

Oh, I'll never let you go. Don't you understand?

I'm nothing without you.

Then you're nothing! It's over!

No, don't say that.

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, we don't need them.

We can make this work. We just need each other.

Seriously?

Get away from me, or I will use this.

You really think anyone's going to come and rescue you?

Stop, just...

Libby!

Nobody will love you like I did.

It didn't feel like love,

it felt like prison!

When people see I'm happy, they'll know what you are.

Stop! Help me! Help!

Libby, stop!

Argh!

Ow!

Now look what you've made me do.

I told you not to block me out of your life.

Stella, the call point outside the library's been smashed.

Libby Guthrie and Jared Jones are missing.

Has anybody seen Libby and Jared?

Yeah, he went mad and stormed out of maths.

Call the police.

Libby's missing. Where's Stella going?

Er, she went that way. Could you, erm...

And... Sh!

Neil! Sh!

You've forgotten your baby!

Dad.

Yeah?

Ashton think's you're kicking him out.

Yeah, why would he think that?

You, obviously.

Yeah, I just warned him about playing X-rated games with Tommy

and teaching him how to swear.

Yeah, well...well, maybe you're a bit harsh.

Hold on a minute. You've changed your tune.

Tommy really likes him, Dad.

Yeah. Yeah, I know.

That's my worry. He's not the best role model in the world, is he?

Because he's never had to be.

He's always been bottom of the pile, ain't he?

That's Libby's bag!

Libby!

That boy should never have been at this school.

Neil! You and your empty promises about protecting my daughter.

How could you let all this happen?

PHONE RINGING

Libby!

Oh, no, no! Libby!

Libby, love.

We need an ambulance!

Oh, baby, can you hear me?

Oh, God.

Libby! Ambulance, please! Libby!

Waterloo Road. We have a student who is unconscious.

She's been assaulted. I'll get Wendy to get all the students inside.

Wendy, we need everyone back inside.

Just please tell me she's going to be OK!

Try not to worry, sir. Libby?!

Neil. Neil, what's happened?

Erm... I have to tell Cat.

You...you stay with Libby.

I'll go and get Cat, OK?

Right. Yeah. Right, thank you.

Hi.

I'm so sorry to call, erm...

It's Libby.

She's, erm...

There's been an incident.

OK, let's get a move on.

Everyone back to class, thank you.

Ashton!

What's this about me wanting you to leave?

I never said that.

Well, you never said you wanted me to stay, so...

Yeah, but I didn't mean that...

Look, I'm sorry, OK?

I'm... Izzy thinks that I'm being too hard on you.

Izzy, as in hates-my-guts Izzy?

Izzy, as in your sister who hasn't got to know you yet.

Now, maybe I haven't either.

I need to learn to trust you a little bit more.

No, that's on me, OK?

I've got to earn it, haven't I?

I'm sorry that I got Tommy in to trouble.

I know. And I'm sorry that I never made you feel welcome.

It's just, family is the most important thing to me.

And you are a big part of that now.

Through thick and thin?

Through thick and thin.

Right, go on, get back to class.

See you later. See you.

I'll let her know Libby's safe.

Oh, he's absolutely fine.

His Auntie Wendy can have him for as long as you need.

OK, bye-bye.

Ah. He'd like to go back in his pram now.

Oh, erm... Thank you.

Careful, careful.

Oh.

Any news on Libby? Oh, I've just heard.

She's stable.

Oh, hey, that's a relief.

Er, Wendy.

Please tell me that's not the missing money.

Oh, no, it wasn't missing, it was just in the wrong drawer.

You...

Oh, can you watch him?

Wendy, could you, er, photocopy this for me?

Ah, Coral just called.

Libby's out of danger.

That's great news. Do you want a cup of tea?

Make that two...

..please.

And then you can tell me what all this is about.

How's she doing?

Well, she's still alive.

No thanks to your lot.

Yeah, she wouldn't be here if you lot hadn't released him.

I'm sorry but without evidence there's not a lot we could've done.

Is that enough evidence?

I'm really sorry, Neil.

Yeah, so am I.

Oh.

Erm, I hope it's all right me being here.

Val called me.

I must say, I was surprised to get your call.

If I'm honest, I'm surprised myself.

I don't normally do this - ask for help.

But it's...it's important.

I thought things were bad in my day.

It sounds like it's got worse.

It probably has.

But there's a part of me that thinks today could have been avoided.

You played it by the book.

You did everything you could have done.

Did I? Huh!

When I took this job, I removed all the counselling provision.

Would that have made a difference to this?

I don't know, but I think it was a mistake on my part.

I mean, the pastoral support was...was framed all wrong.

We had tepees and Zen spaces rather than a strategy for resilience.

But that doesn't mean there wasn't a need...

..that I ignored.

It's difficult to get the balance right.

But not impossible. That's why I'm going to bring it back.

On a smaller scale and more focused.

And I need somebody who is qualified to run it.

Me?

It would only be part-time.

You'd be a perfect fit. You'd have experience in both camps.

I'm sorry, I don't do that any more.

I haven't been in a school for years.

In our session last week, I...

..I got the impression that you missed education.

It's called empathy for my client.

You don't know me.

Look, I'm not interested.

Maybe it's for the best.

You're obviously not the person I thought you were.

He scores!

Right, Ashton, that's enough now.

Ashton!

Mr Rimmer?

Donte Charles?

What are you doing here, sir?

Sir?

I, erm...

Well, never mind that. What are you doing here?

I'm a teacher. I work here now.

I know, it's mad, innit?!

Caretaker one minute, PE teacher the next.

Well, you never did do things the conventional way.

And this, er...

This is my, er...

This is my son, Ashton.

He's a proper chip off the old block, so be careful, all right?

Pleased to meet you.

I heard about Chlo.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, I appreciate that.

Yeah, it's been tough.

But she lives on through Izzy and Tommy.

So, er... What about you, sir?

You, er, still in contact with Miss Haydock, eh?

You know, after all I did for you reprobates,

and that's my legacy?

I'm only playing.

You know, er, Mr Rimmer was the best Head Teacher that I ever had.

Yeah, imagine you on your worst day, he had that with me every day.

Was he a wrong 'un?

Your dad was, erm... Was, erm...

..one of my more exuberant pupils.

Yeah, yeah, I knew it!

Total wrong 'un, you were, weren't you?

Yeah, I still managed to turn it around, though.

Thanks to Mr Rimmer.

You know, seriously, though, sir, I, er...

..never got to thank you before you left.

You know, you were the first person to believe in me back then.

I've never forgotten that.

So...

..what are you doing here?

Can I make you a coffee? We can catch up.

I'm her dad.

It's my job to protect her.

You could see what was happening.

Why couldn't I?

Well, because I've been there.

You don't know you're in a coercive relationship

because you normalise that abuse.

And they're very clever. It's not just their victim they manipulate,

it's everyone around them,

so the signs are really hard to see.

What's teenage angst and what's something more sinister?

I am so sorry.

So, what do I do?

How do I fix her?

You just have to love her.

Really love her.

With real, unconditional love.

Don't worry, I will.

I am going to, er,

let Coral know that she's OK.

INDISTINCT VOICES

She recorded the attack.

RECORDING: Get away from me!

JARED: I'm nothing without you.

Then you're nothing. It's over!

BELL RINGS

Hey, thanks for sticking up for me with your dad.

It's all right. That'll be 100 quid.

I'm being serious.

That's a good price for keeping you in his good books.

What? You think half blood is thicker than water?

All right.

Then it'll cost you 100 quid to stop me from telling your dad

it's you who's been swearing in front of Tommy.

How do you know that?

I didn't.

But now I do!

They said they didn't have enough evidence before.

But they'll believe me now, won't they,

when...when everyone hears it?

It might be a while until everyone hears it, Libs.

I can send it now.

I want people to know.

It's just...

If people hear it already online,

then it could prejudice the trial.

How long will that take?

I'm not going to lie, it'll be a while.

And that's if it does go to court.

So no-one will know how bad it really was.

How can I let him get away with this?

What if he does it again to someone else?

You should send it.

People need to know what he's like.

Don't think about what anybody else thinks.

You've got to put yourself first,

do what you think is right.

You didn't put yourself first.

You risked everything for me.

I really wish I'd listened.

Is he for real?!

Yeah, what are you doing here?!

I'm just getting my bag.

Yeah, the cheek on you, man!

Mate.

Look, I'm sorry about the phone thing.

It was just seeing Libby gloating after almost destroying my life.

Is that why you beat her up?

You what?

You put her in hospital.

What are you on about? I...

I haven't been here. I was bunking to clear my head.

Is she all right?

What's happened? The police are looking for you.

I haven't done anything.

Right, so how did she end up in hospital, then?

I don't know.

I swear. You are one sick puppy!

LIBBY: Get away from me!

JARED: I'm nothing without you.

Then you're nothing. It's over!

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. We don't need them.

We can make this work. We just need each other.

Seriously? Get away from me or I will use this.

You really think anyone's going to come and rescue you?

Stop, just...

Libby!

Nobody will love you like I did.

It didn't feel like love. It felt like prison!

No! Help me! Help!

Libby, shut up!

Argh!

Ow!

Now look what you've made me do.

Wow.

You know, she deserves an Oscar.

It's been edited.

That...that never happened.

Mate, she's sick.

She made the recording and...and she beat herself up.

Right.

Why would she do that, mate?

I don't know.

Because she's tapped in the head?

Because she can't cope with rejection?

At this point, I've given up trying to understand her.

What's this, then?

No! Put me down!

Let go!

I didn't do owt.

Mate, I'm sorry.

She made me do it.

She made me do it. I didn't... I barely touched her.

Er, Schuey!

Schuey, just wait.

You're not going to get very far without this ticket.

You went through my locker?

Well, you were so protective over your bag that I...

You've changed, and I stuck with my prejudices.

I'm sorry, I thought the worst of you.

I'm used to it. Well, you shouldn't be, right?

You should be proud of the man that you are and finding your own way.

Look, erm...

I need to help Tyler set up, so...

What are you waiting for? Yeah, go, go.

There's too many fallen souls of darkness.

My heart opened to you, and it rose from this mess.

Ah, in the footsteps of the son you gave.

We street soldiers on a mission to save.

We inked 117, your love we praise.

Your light cutting through their shade.

Sheesh!

What up, bruv?

Yo, listen.

I've been listening to that one on repeat.

Oh, yeah?

Give it a go yourself.

Come on, mate, that's going to be terrible.

Well, you don't know until you try it.

I do have a bit of good news.

Libby is conscious and her injuries are being treated.

And Jared? I hope they throw away the key.

Well, let's not speculate until we have the full facts

of what happened. Yeah, but the facts are

his behaviour was red flagged by Amy and by Libby.

Well, obviously, with hindsight, things might have been

dealt with differently, but the important thing is,

is that we, er...we learn from our mistakes.

We?

My mistakes.

And one of those was pulling back on the counselling.

Hallelujah. Despite what you think, I'm not against pastoral provision.

I prioritised other areas due to lack of funds,

and because I saw a counselling service that was being exploited.

But you're right, if...

..if I hadn't, maybe, er, today's events might have been averted.

Thank you.

Stella. Mm?

Thank you.

It was her decision. Did you encourage her?

Have you even thought about the consequences?

I wanted to do it, Dad.

Hey.

It takes so much strength to carry on when no-one believes you.

You have been so brave, Libby.

It's over now.

This means you're coming back, right?

Now everyone knows you were telling the truth,

they have to let you stay.

Er, actually, I've, erm...

..got a new job.

Not enough young people are being taught about healthy relationships,

domestic abuse or...

..coercive behaviour.

And it's not just the young people that need educating.

Do you want a cup of tea?

Tea? Tea?

All right, I'll, erm...

I'll give you a minute.

Don't be angry, Dad.

I'm not angry.

I just love you both so much.

STELLA: Jack?

I'm glad I caught you.

I just wanted to say thank you.

And I'm sorry about before.

Anything else you need, you know where I am.

How about a time machine?

I've...I've been doing this job for a long time,

and I thought I'd seen it all,

but it's a different world these days.

And I keep getting it wrong.

That's life.

Certainly in the teaching profession.

I've always believed that schools should be a sanctuary for learning.

I thought it should be education, education, education.

But the school gate isn't a boundary any more, is it?

Teachers do have to be social workers, psychologists,

carers, parents.

All for less money and more hours.

That's why so many of them are leaving.

I fired a good teacher this term

when she was just trying to help someone.

She lost faith in the teaching profession and that was my fault.

You know...

..not everyone can handle the pressures of the job.

Yeah, and I'm starting to see why.

I think it is a younger person's game.

You know you don't believe that.

And you can't go quitting now.

So, you'll email me the details of your recommended counsellors...

I'll take the job.

Are...are you sure?

No.

See you Monday.

Mm.
