Original subtitles

You didn't waste no time.

Front room's out of bounds.

Ronnie!

I didn't have the guts to say how I felt or do what I wanted.

Call it. You did this.

Ask him.

I don't know what I hate about Lady Daisy.

We're done.

I'm trying to ride the part of the ashes like a phoenix.

Tell the situations that could have gone left. I'm lucky that I'm still

breathing. Waking up early just to go back home in the evening.

What are you... You can't be here.

I just want to see you.

You can't just turn up here, Dad.

You know that.

I think you left me that cake.

That was from you, wasn't it? Yeah.

Well, that doesn't give you the right to barge your way in.

So you don't want to see me?

I never said that. It's just... Just not here.

Billy!

I... I can explain.

Explain what?

Wake up in the morning, we rise When the early bird call it, yeah we rise When

we get up in our feelings, do what the phoenix do So of course we rise, when we

go and get to plan We rise, when we fuck under the ash We rise, all my friends

gonna see this through Cause we just do what the phoenix do, we rise

Are you sure you've got your P .E. kit?

You're like Billy.

Oh, you were up early.

Catching a worm, innit?

Big day.

Big, big day, actually.

It's just Mark.

Um, I was thinking maybe we could go see Dad later?

Really?

I'm worried about him.

Another day, yeah?

Let me get through these exams first.

Bye! Good luck!

That's what I like to see, bright and early.

Yep, early bird and all that.

Oh, I thought I'd be the first one.

Everyone feeling good?

I'm feeling something, sir.

Not sure I can tell you what it is yet.

Hey. Hey.

You OK?

Yeah. You?

Yeah.

Um, I... What's happening?

What do you say, legend?

Yes, come on, mate. And the quiet is over.

Morning, Darcy.

All right, sir.

I had meant to belly me this morning.

I'm ready.

Morning.

Morning.

I'm not even joking, bro.

Yeah, man.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ronnie.

Hey, Ronnie. Can I talk to you?

You just got ads.

Yes, Billy.

Boom. Boom.

Embarrassing.

Let's not forget the golden rule.

Don't leave me hanging.

Read the question.

Read the question properly.

Twice. Three times.

These might be just mops, but they're important.

Bit of focus, please. Phones away.

No, sir. We just... That grade four won't get itself.

Right. Quickly, to registration.

Let's treat these exams like the real thing.

And remember... to breathe.

You'd better give that big brain of yours a break before it explodes.

I shouldn't worry. I doubt it'll make much of a mess.

There's only something smarter than that mouth of yours. Can you two quit

already? I've got enough stress today as it is. Just stand back and get ready to

be astounded at the mad knowledge pouring out of me.

Uh, sir.

Everything okay?

Yeah, yeah, good.

Um... You said about taking the exam theory, and I

am. No cap.

Yeah, whatever that means.

What is it?

I promised my mum that I'd get my head down at school.

Like, properly focus.

You know, and... Now with the exams... Um, you know, I'm

just... Scared?

Yeah.

That's absolutely fair enough.

You know, we all harp on about what a big deal exams are.

Never mind the pressure you're putting on yourself.

I can tell from that session you've done a lot of revising.

Geek levels, sir.

You've had a lot to overcome this year.

And you've done it.

You're ready.

Your mum would be incredibly proud of you.

You smashed that session, Billy.

Let's have a bit of that in the exam, yeah?

Yes, sir.

I said let's have a bit of that in the exam, shall we?

Sir. I said, all right, that's enough.

You've got this.

Really. It's yours for the taking.

We're running.

I know what you're going to say.

You do?

I owe you a podcast.

It's nearly finished, I swear. It's just... What do you think I should do?

Not even a hello.

Look, how am I supposed to fix this if you won't even talk to me?

You OK?

Yeah, just trying to get a hold of my dad.

He's... Hi, Dad.

Um, can you call me back when you get the message, please? Just let me know

you're OK and still here.

I'm sure he's fine.

What would you know?

When you go to the boiler room, can you ask Billy to message him, please?

He might be better off asking someone else.

Did you hear me? I said...

Quiz time.

Question one for ten points.

Some metals are obtained by removing oxygen from

metal oxide.

What is this chemical reaction called?

Reduction.

Ding, ding. One point to Hopkins.

Next question.

Using plants to extract metal is called what?

Photomining.

All right, Dilly.

Leave some for the rest of us.

Next question.

Please, talk to me.

Or look at me.

Something. Ronnie.

I'm saying sorry.

I don't know what I did to make you betray me.

You didn't do anything.

Then why?

It makes no sense.

Or did I make a massive mistake trusting you in the first place?

My parents spent their money for the electric bill on my jacket.

I begged them for it.

I wanted to look good.

For once.

Nathan said he'd wreck it if I didn't help him.

So you sold me out for a jacket?

Unbelievable. It was wrong.

We could have never seen that blooming thing.

Sorry.

I don't even think you know what you're apologising for.

Locking him in the cloakroom?

Yeah.

And what about Miss Abel?

You might not like her, but she doesn't deserve to get catfished. You know what

it feels like to be a victim.

It's Abel.

A victim.

She's a bully.

Causing her actual real pain that you can't take back. What does that make

Look. Here.

Gone.

Done.

Why is he annoying even when he isn't saying anything?

Oh, my days.

We should just sort it out already.

There's nothing to sort out.

He's a pig, and I can do so much better.

How is a covalent bond formed?

I don't know, electrons?

I think they're going to need a bit more than that.

How long have you been eavesdropping?

Long enough.

I think I did it.

I sorted things out with Rani. Can you ask her why she's offering me then?

She probably blanked me.

If we're done here, this pig is ready to go and smash these exams.

I thought you guys were tight.

Me too.

For a bit.

But not anymore.

Have you ever just felt kind of nothing?

Like, no -one really notices the way you feel or think, and they need something

from you?

More times than I'd like.

You feeling a bit used?

I don't know.

Yeah.

Maybe, I don't know.

Wasn't that part of friendship?

You're there for each other, give and take, like a back -and -forth thing.

What if you're the only one giving?

Well, we all need more at different times, and sometimes that means that we

can't give as much.

Part of being a friend is knowing when your friend needs you and hopefully you

can step up for them.

Does that make sense?

Thanks, Becky.

Why has Rani just left the grave?

Maybe she did it by accident.

I hope they ask about renewable energy.

Or if they ask about resistors.

You ain't got a chance.

Well, they're not going to, are they?

Why not?

You never know.

Yes, I do. This is chemistry.

That's physics.

You're joking.

See? Physics.

That's today.

What?

As if I ever looked twice at him.

State.

Are you good?

Have I revised the wrong thing?

It actually happens if we fail. You'll be fine.

Whatever happens in there, you'll never be that clown.

Come here.

Breathe, mate.

Right. Here we go.

Phones off and in the box, please.

This is a human rights infringement.

Single file into the hall, please.

Thank you very much.

Come on, Billy.

Thank you.

You have three hours to complete the exam.

That's three hours that will determine the rest of your lives.

Enjoy.

Begin.

Enter.

Sir, Riley needs to go to Mr Stewart's office.

What for?

Dunno. Something you'll have to ask him, isn't it?

What is it?

I wanted to see you.

I thought you were ignoring me earlier.

Why would I do that?

You're with your friends?

You're the prettiest girl in the school.

I'm proud to be singing with you.

Did you threaten to destroy Kelly's jacket?

No, I... I'm so mad at him.

But he's not a liar, Nathan.

Okay, I may have made a bit of a joke, saying he best taught me the right

About you.

I mean...

He could have told me you were proper into drill. It could have been a

nightmare.

Look, I know I was out of order with Khaled before, but I meant it when I

I'd changed.

Maybe he's still... I don't know, traumatised?

What do you mean?

Any innocent little thing I say to him, he takes it the wrong way.

Thinks it's worse than it is.

I've got something for you.

I feel like a shark.

So they can walk on land.

You said you accepted my apology.

I told you how much I like you.

Now it's up to you.

What do you mean?

We could go out.

A cold city match, maybe.

There's one on tonight.

Or maybe your mates won't let you.

But I'm going to go to my first football match, I will.

So is that a yes?

Mrs Stewart, we have an intruder on the premises.

Wakey -wakey part.

Skyden again?

Your dad.

What about him?

He's here. In the school.

He doesn't look right.

What?

Rihanna, what are you doing?

I need to speak to Phyllis.

And this is a mock exam. You shouldn't be in here.

Look, whatever this is, we can talk about it outside, OK?

What is it? What's happened? It's Dad.

Rihanna, you need to leave right now.

In here at the school, there's a police car and everything.

Billy?

Billy, sit down.

Er, some of us are trying to concentrate.

Shut up, Cassidy.

Billy? Billy?

You walk out, that's an automatic fail.

All right. Sit. No.

Sit down.

I'm going to go back. Okay.

Go get back.

Becky.

Where is he?

Dad!

Right, just stay back.

Dad!

Guys, everything's fine. Get off me. Just keep back.

Everything's going to be fine.

What are you doing?

Calm down.

Dad! Keep back. Get off him!

Look,

we had no choice, Bill. Your dad's not even at the school.

It's my fault.

He was just trying to talk to me.

I'm dead.

It's all right. They'll take good care of him.

Did you call him? I didn't know it was your dad. You've had it in for him from

the start.

All right. Look, we have a safeguarding policy for a reason, Billy. It's done

nothing wrong.

Come on, Billy. You don't want to do this to you.

What are you lot looking at?

Like father, like son, Bill.

Shut your mouth.

Everyone go back to their classes now.

Billy, let's talk about this in my office.

Someone keep an eye on her, yeah?

Billy!

Oh, he just... Leave him to it.

Let's just unravel everything that we've achieved, okay? If there's any trouble,

they've got an issue, mate. I know how you're feeling. Stop acting like we're

the same! You've got no idea what it's like, do you, mate? Shut up!

Try not to worry.

Your dad's going to be okay.

I want Billy.

I'll find him.

I know you think they're this loyal little crew.

But they're all wrapped up in their own dramas.

They don't need you, Ronnie.

They never have.

Where are you going?

I've messed up.

Big time.

I just lost it with Mrs. Stewart. It can't be that bad, can it?

I was on my last warning.

Then go back in there and fight. I'm done.

Fighting.

What will we do without you?

Is Ria okay?

She asked for you, but she'll be okay.

She's with the others.

If you want to talk, I'm with you. There's only one person who's ever

got me, you know?

You going to talk to them?

I've been thinking a lot about friendships and how we're better

I started at the school convinced I'd never fit in, not really wanting to, but

then I met this gang of misfits, of people just like me.

Phoenix Rise brought us together, a place that showed us the power of

togetherness, of understanding, of second chances.

Every one of us knows what it means to have to find strength in adversity, but

we do it better when we come together.

For a split second, I thought it was going to be good.

When do things ever go good?

I've ruined... Everything.

I promised.

I promised I wouldn't mess it up.

I tried.

You know?

I did.

I tried for you.

For Rhi.

Even for me, a bit.

I'm sorry.

Coming to the boiler room?

I'm not being funny, Summer, but how long are you going to keep us hostage?

It's not a hostage situation.

Leave if you want to. It's not like this group hasn't already fallen apart.

Have you seen Rani?

I think she's on her way.

So what about this match?

I don't think she's coming.

The only reason I liked this stupid school was this.

You lot?

No, we don't even have that.

What do you think's going to happen to Billy?

I don't know.

And you know what? I won't be here to find that out.

You okay?

I'm moving to London.

What are you talking about?

I'm leaving Phoenix Rose.

No, Billy knows he's totally blown it. Have you thought about what this must

have done to him?

He's got nowhere left to turn, sir.

I like this girl, but I mess things up.

Sometimes you just can't let someone know you're being real.

Abel, she's the biggest bully of them all. What are you doing?

You'll see.

So of course we ride, when we go against the plan We ride, when we fuck under

the ash We ride, all my friends gonna see this through Cause we just do what

feelings do We ride
