Original subtitles

It's.

Smashing the dog on it.

Hey, Leanne.

Hey.

You've been out robbing.

You know what he killed.

Trump the street at night.

Christmas sales came early to me.

That's nice.

I'm taking that.

Trainer.

So show me.

Come here, then.

Jamie.

Stashed it yet?

Of course.

That's what I'm talking about.

Sam.

Thank you for coming in today, Mrs.

Lindson.

We were all highly impressed with your CV and particularly interested in what made you want to lecture on sociology for 15 years.

I've always been fascinated by the impact society has on people's lives.

So what changed?

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean.

Why did you quit the safety of the lectern?

For a career in child welfare, I suppose.

I'm tired of talking.

Do you have any children of your own?

No.

Lots of people apply for these jobs, Kate.

But in my experience, the reality is often too much for them.

Look, I know I've got a lot to learn, but I feel like I've got something to offer and, well, I'm at a stage in my life where I'm ready for this kind of commitment.

Your job here is to house some of the most disturbed children in the borough that the authorities don't know what to do with.

I understand.

Do you?

Yes.

What good does it do to love you this way?

You've broken my heart and all I can say.

What the Was you doing in my room?

I saw you.

Calm down.

O O.

Any danger of turning the volume down or what?

Hey, listen.

Piss off.

He was about telling me to piss off.

I'm trying to have a lie.

Shut up, you fucking div.

Calling me.

You disrespect him for me?

Kill you.

Pray.

That's enough, Lean.

Thank you, Jamie Ryan, back to your room.

These riots were not about race.

The perpetrators and the victims were white, black and Asian.

These riots were not about government cuts.

They were directed at high street stores, not at Parliament.

And these riots were not about poverty.

That would insult the millions of people, do whatever.

The Hudgens never dream of making others suffer like this.

Now, this was about behavior.

People showing indifference to right and wrong.

People with a twisted moral code.

People with a complete absence of self restraint.

Got to show to him and everyone like him the party is over.

But if someone hurts us.

Yeah.

Fuck sake.

Course he got Nick, man.

The stupid prick stuck it on Facebook proper giving it large.

First he was all, I'm gonna go and join in with the riots.

Next thing, he's telling everyone how he's chored this 52 inch plasma out of curries and at a Rennie Takers.

What is he thinking?

Well, I know what you're thinking now, how am I going to get through the next two years in Felton without getting topped in?

He's going to get properly mugged.

Off.

But he's a.

Bottom line is the Feds are properly on this.

Yeah.

So if you've got anything lying about, you've got to get rid.

Yeah, Give you a ton for the lot.

Oh, off.

Don't look like I got mug written on my forehead.

Well, if you don't want to spend the next two years in Holloway, take it to cash converters, see how you get on down there.

Yeah, well, they've got him on CCTV walking out of curries with a PlayStation under his arm looking like a catalog model.

Yep.

Yep.

All right, see you down there.

Bye.

Course.

Is it a bad time?

I'm afraid they've just picked up another one of ours for looting.

They?

They just announced on the radio they've already charged 250 people.

Oh, well, then the problem solved.

Look, I know I said we'd get a chance to talk, but I've got to get down the station.

So Fiona, she's one of our senior care workers, she's going to show you around.

Now, a general rule of thumb is never say you're delighted to be going home because this is their home.

And never enter a resident's bedroom unless you're accompanied by a fellow member of staff.

Bun Garage.

We do keep it open, but actually they can have drinks 247 as well.

This is the TV room where residents tend to congregate when they're not in their rooms.

Every time I try and watch the telly, you come in here and try.

Give me the bruv.

I swear to God, every time he can forget drinking, drugs.

That remote control causes more arguments than the two of them put together.

Have you ever managed to get any of the older ones back into education?

By the time they reach us, education's way down on the list of priorities.

Just get some keys.

Hi, Alice.

Oh, hello.

Hello, I'm Alice.

Oh, that's a lovely Alice.

You know the rules.

Sorry, no touching aloud or even holding hands.

No.

Oi.

Have you heard back from the council about the flat I put in for?

I'm afraid not.

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

You just have to be patient.

Patient?

You're not the one who's gonna be homeless in nine fucking months, are ya?

Who's that?

Jaime Harrison and Leanne Dixon.

Always Together.

Life will be a little less challenging if they weren't.

I'm going up.

Yeah, I'll be up soon.

You're supposed to be in bed by now.

I want to sleep with you.

Can't.

You know the rules.

But I see things in my room.

All right, come on.

Can't keep doing this.

A big girl.

Now can we sing?

No.

Please.

All right.

I know which one.

And on a Monday I'm gonna love you and on a Tuesday I'm gonna hug you and on a Wednesday Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday Gonna love ya.

Chili.

So sad and he seemed Seemed.

Oi, oi.

You cool Watch.

In trouble.

What's up?

I want my allowance.

Oh, I.

I don't think I can give it to you early, Jamie.

Why not?

Because if I do it for you, I have to do it for everyone.

I think that's a rule.

The rules.

This is my life.

What's wrong with you?

Leanne, that's enough.

Leanne, bring us.

Come on.

Don't you ever change your channel when I'm in here again.

Are you all right?

Get the out of my face.

I'm fine, really.

Are you sure it's not painful?

No, no, honestly, it wasn't intentional.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Thank you.

Welcome to Alpha House.

Stop fucking burning me.

Do you want it off or not?

Yeah, but I'm working on my leg.

Thank you.

Ah, shut up, you pussy.

Come on, man.

Cool.

You're gonna have to push, you pregnant bitch.

Come on.

Squeeze.

Daddy crack, bitch.

Fucking hell.

Oh, that's what I'm talking about.

Freedom.

Oi, you.

Come here.

If anyone asks, I'm on my period.

Tucked up in bed, okay?

Yeah.

Good boy.

Come on, let's get out of here.

What are you, dumb?

What are you, stupid?

What are you, mad?

What are you, dumb?

What are you, bad?

What are you, stupid?

What are you mad?

Yo, they don't wanna give me no encore Wanna knock me down like I'm Russell But I still get way like sit and die and I still get highlighted what are you saying?

What are you mad?

Check yourself and then go to the back.

Get out.

Beating me?

Why you mad at me?

Keep my name in your.

Oh, roll up.

I said I thought you were waking up but my mistake awakened until the wall inside crashes down I've been looking for reaction I've been waiting for connection Here we go again, here we go again on the outside reaction on the other side you can be listening Here we go again, here we go again Back to the place where you belong.

I will wait here looking on.

Right, can I have small packet in Mayfair, please?

10 pack.

And now I can have the red ones, please.

790.

And some filters as well.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Come back here.

Come here.

Come here.

Come here.

You think you're doing?

Come here.

Come here.

Think you're dead?

What?

Finding the police?

Are you mad?

Look, the thing you've got to understand is this isn't a game, Jamie.

I mean, in nine months time you're gonna be 18 years old, right?

Do you know what that means?

Save it for someone who gives a shit.

It means you will no longer be considered a minor by the courts.

Which means if you continue acting like this, you'll end up inside.

Well, it's just a bit where you tell me a horror story.

Talk about ligatures.

Self harm.

Tell me I'm gonna get fisted in the showers.

Hope it might turn me into going straight.

You know what?

There's nothing you can say to me that I haven't been through already.

Are you done?

Where's Kim?

Kim couldn't make it, so I'm here instead.

These are Jamie's bail conditions.

Okay, thank you.

Great.

Shall we?

You know it's your fault I got lifted, you know that?

Why is that?

Because if I had the money in my pocket, I wouldn't have gone out choring, would I?

It's.

So sorry I'm late.

One of the kids got arrested and needed picking up from the first place.

Yeah, we went ahead and had the first course.

Oh, God, David, I'm sorry.

What can I do?

Just bring wine in some veggies here, guys.

Well, you haven't tasted them yet.

Hey everyone.

Good, thanks.

Is my husband looking after you?

Not care if he's not the right word.

I mean that's just.

That's an assumption on my part.

But you know, to do with the education, the only one in full time education is a six year old girl.

No school will take the rest.

That's hardly surprising, is it, Kate?

I mean, after some of the things you've told me about them.

Yeah, well, the point I'm making, David, is that finding anything constructive for them is the biggest challenge we face.

No wonder they get into trouble.

I mean, we've got a 13 year old alcoholic who should be in rehab, but there isn't the budget for that.

It's crazy.

I mean, the government want these kids to toe the line, but they won't allocate any money to help them rehabilitate.

Why should they get preferential treatment?

I mean, there are lots of innocent kids out there with some pretty big problems too.

Yeah.

Cos if you don't help them, David, how do we expect them to assimilate into society?

Society?

You pass the wine, please.

Oh yes, I'd like some more, thanks.

Lovely.

Right then.

The next resident I'd like to discuss is Jamie.

I need someone to fill Kim's position as Jamie's acting key worker.

Why?

What's happened?

She's been signed off with emotional exhaustion.

So which brave soul wants to volunteer?

Look, I know she's not the easiest, but someone's got to do this.

I will.

She's a handful.

Yeah, I'd like to give it a shot.

Any objections?

No.

Sold.

Sold.

Jamie, can I have a word?

What about?

I've been appointed as your new key worker.

What do you want, a medal?

Walk right on in Stretch out your arms Let the love light shine on my soul, baby and let love come running in.

And I'm about to lose my mind Walk right on in Let your love come running in Open the door to your favor Open the door to your heart Open the door to your heart Let love come running in Let your laughter run it in Let it flow like a river.

Hey.

What?

We're about to have a cake to celebrate Liam's birthday.

I wondered if you wanted to come down and join us.

No, you're right.

Okay.

Has anyone ever told you you've got a lovely voice?

Has anyone ever told you the staff aren't allowed in residents bedrooms?

I'm not in her bedroom.

Yeah, you are.

You wouldn't be careful.

Kids around here make up all kinds of.

How are you getting on with Jamie?

Taking it slowly.

She's a bit defensive and really suspicious.

If I try and express Any interest in her?

Well, they all are.

What's with all the Etta James posters on her wall?

Her mum was really into Northern Soul.

You know, singers like Etta James and Barbara Lynn, that sort of thing.

The only thing Jamie got to keep when she came into care was her mom's record collection.

I overheard her singing in her room.

She's good.

Has anyone ever tried to help her do something with it?

In between court appearances and probation offices, there isn't much time for singing lessons.

No.

Oh, Hello.

Yo, where you at?

I'm de.

I thought you're supposed to meet your probation officer.

I said I'm coming.

I'm coming.

I can walk by myself.

Get off me.

J.

Sake.

Wait, J.

Make sure you pack up my room.

I don't want anyone showing any of my.

Mate, can you lose me, please?

The cut in my wrist.

Wait, J.

I'll send out a visitation order as soon as I can.

Yes, I'm getting in.

Sam.

Haven't you got any decent music in it?

Yeah, there's some CDs in the glove compartment.

Why don't you put that one on?

I think there's an Etta James track on there.

We sang a cover of Something's Got A Hold of Me last year.

I sing in the choir.

That song ain't what you think it's about.

She wrote about being a heroin addict.

She had a proper tough life.

In and out of rehab.

Did time for armed robbery as well.

All that shit.

She still managed to sing like a lady.

Can we have some privacy, please?

Sure.

I'll go and get a coffee.

Anyone like anything?

Gotta hate when they try and be all mate and everything.

Gosh.

Cunt.

How you holding up?

Just riding out front of telly, playing pool.

Anyone try strong in it?

Yeah.

Do you give Dean my letters?

Yeah.

You know, Lisa's gonna go mad when she finds out what's happening.

Not my fault Dean got bored of.

You gonna be all right on Thursday dinner?

Wish I could be there for.

Sam.

Sa.

Hello?

Kate?

Yeah, it's Ian.

Jamie went missing last night.

We just heard.

She's been arrested for drunkard disorderly in Redding.

What's she doing there?

That's where Mom's buried.

Yesterday, with the anniversary of her death, she needs picking up.

Okay, I'll leave straight away.

Yep, Yep.

Bye.

Don't you get tired of all this?

Tired of what?

Managing people's lives.

They're not people, David.

The children.

Yeah.

Yeah, who are not ours.

Is that a reason not to care?

It's not going to bring him Back, you know.

Is it?

For you.

Thank you.

Do you want a cigarette?

I can't begin to imagine how painful it must be to lose your mum at such a young age.

But I do know what it's like to lose someone you love.

Is that why you're religious?

What makes you think I'm religious?

Said you belong to some choir.

It's a community choir.

Religion's got nothing to do, is it?

It's just about singing.

I started going after my son was murdered.

What happened?

No, he was.

He was on his way back from football training one evening and got mugged by two boys who tried to steal his phone.

He put up a fight and stabbed him.

Passerby found him lying in the street, but he died on his way to hospital.

So when you sing, does it help?

Does it help you to forget?

No.

No.

Helps me to remember.

Into the place I have made for us both to lie there's no ide.

To escape.

Please just close your eyes.

If you run I would say if I have the choice Just step away from the edge or you'll fall right into the spell again.

You don't know everything.

I feel I feel.

Open your eyes and then look at my face to see I feel I feel.

I feel I feel sa.

Oh, I feel I feel.

Excellent.

Good.

All right, Jimmy.

It's all right.

If you want to stay and listen, Look for enthusiasm.

No.

Okay.

You want to go get some?

Okay.

No.

In there.

Alice.

Yeah, that's it.

That's it.

Good girl.

In here, I think you'll put some.

Why do they even call it sunflower cake?

Because the flowers follow the sun as it moves across the sky.

And no matter how dark it gets, they always manage to find the light.

Liam, why don't you take some of that grass over there and start building a pile?

There we go.

Okay.

Nothing good on television.

I didn't mind you coming to watch the rehearsal the other day.

Did you like what you heard?

It was all right.

It's something that interests you, Jamie.

Well, she loves music.

I mean, she sings all the time, but actually, she's never done something like this before, so.

It would be great if you could give her a chance.

Just hear a sing.

That's all I'm asking.

Okay, fine.

Single.

This is you.

I'm free Thursday evening.

Yeah, bring her down.

We'll have a listen.

Great.

All right.

Thank you, Meg.

Pleasure.

Bye.

Bye.

What concerns me the most is what if she doesn't get in?

Because these kids are so sensitized, the slightest hint of rejection and sends Them off the rails.

Yeah.

And we're the ones who have to deal with the fallout.

Okay.

Okay.

So what do we do?

Continue to sit back and watch her not be able to express herself?

Or do we take a risk and give her the opportunity to channel all that frustration and negative energy into something positive?

I just don't see what we've got to lose.

What does everyone else think?

Yeah, Quiddle.

It's worth a shot.

Dangerous.

Fine.

Let's roll the dice and see what happens.

Well, I think it's got disaster written all over it.

Can we give her five more minutes?

Sure, but I've got to be out here by seven.

Okay.

There you are.

What's wrong?

I don't feel good.

That's just your nerves.

Just don't want to sing.

Good.

Come on.

Hey, this is Jamie.

This is Michael.

Hey, Jamie.

All right, so here we are.

What are you gonna sing?

Barbara Lynn, you're losing me.

Barbara Lynn, the queen of Northern Soul.

I like it.

Why Barbara Lynn?

Okay.

I downloaded this way.

Okay?

Yes.

Great.

All right.

Let us sing Barbara Lynn.

I'll give you the key.

Yeah.

And then you just start whenever you're ready.

All.

Right.

If I told you once I've told you time and again.

If you don't do right I'll find another man.

Cause you're losing me, baby And I just.

I just wanna let you know it.

You're losing me, honey And I just.

I've got to show it.

I know you got someone else I can tell by the way you carry yourself now right now I'm disgusted.

Seems like no man can be trusted.

Yeah.

Cause you're losing me, baby And I just, I wanna let you know and know it.

That you're losing me, honey And I just.

I wanna show it.

Okay.

Thank you.

Nice.

Really nice.

I would like you to join our choir.

What?

Just like that?

Yeah.

Yes, just like that.

But it's.

It's a commitment, Jamie.

And I'd only want you to come on board if you think you can fulfill that.

Yeah.

Okay.

Good.

You're in?

Yeah.

Gotta run.

Thank you.

Well done.

See ya.

Bye.

You did really well.

How do you feel?

All right.

Never been asked to be a part of anything before.

Well, I'm really glad that you're a part of this.

Would you like a lift back home?

Nah, I'm all right.

I think I'm gonna walk.

Thanks.

Okay.

Late night.

Morning, Jamie.

Morning.

Oh, Kate told me about the choir.

Congratulations.

It's a real achievement.

Where are you going?

I can't do this.

This Ain't for me.

No, no, there's nothing to worry about.

All anyone cares about in there is whether you can sing or not.

And you can.

Okay?

Come on, be fun.

Come on.

Right, okay, let's gather, team, gather.

Gather, please.

I'd like to say a warm welcome to a new member of our choir, Jamie Harrison.

Jamie's a soprano.

This is her first time singing with choir, so be gentle and nice with her.

So, Jamie, welcome.

Let's get the tongues in full working order.

Sally saw Sylvester stacking silver saucers side by side.

Okay, Deep breath in.

And here we go.

Louder.

Good.

We'll make BBC radio broadcasters if we all.

Yes.

Okay.

Sinking to the bottom, please.

Diana happy?

Okay.

Take a breath and turn around.

Nice.

Very nice.

Will you be there as I call?

Ready?

I wait for the right time to arrive Let the moment fall away.

Come on.

Okay, let's stop there.

Let's keep that energy.

Move to bar 53, please.

Dan, at the end.

Okay.

What makes a good climax?

Lots of noise.

Okay, Here we go.

Yeah, it was cool.

That was really lovely.

Good night.

Thank you.

Bye.

Good night, Kate.

Oh, nice.

Well done, J.

Thank you.

I just want to say it was a joy singing alongside you this evening.

Thank you.

See you next week.

Okay.

Yeah.

Let's go.

Looking a great change in her attitude.

Yeah.

She even opened the door right for me yesterday.

Ain't smiled.

I don't think I've ever seen Jamie Harrison smile, let alone any care worker.

She's really impressed me.

She hasn't, Mr.

Hersell.

And she turns up on time having learned all her words.

Well, let's hope she can keep that up after Friday.

Why, what's happening?

Leanne gets out.

Where's William O?

I'm afraid it's the best I can do, Leanne.

Oh, come here.

You good?

Yeah.

What's this?

Tattoo Got bored.

Right?

We're going out tonight or what?

Yeah.

Cool.

Shotgun coming in.

Whole.

What's going on?

Why are you swerving me for?

Oh, don't do this now, Leanne.

Yeah, do what?

Well, look, I'm staying with Lisa now.

That's it.

Now, what about every you said to me before I went inside?

Well, that was then.

This is n.

Where are we going?

These.

Oh, you bad bitch.

Man, you.

What the is wrong with you?

Thought it was different.

I really did.

It.

Never again.

At least you never let me down, Right?

We're going out tonight.

Oh, there's something I'm doing tonight.

Like what?

Just this thing I've started going to.

Why are you being like that?

Like what?

All secretive and shit.

I'm not, you are.

It's just I've joined a choir, alright?

A what?

A community choir.

You hanging out in the Bible verses now?

It's not religious.

Just a bunch of people who get together to sing songs.

Sounds like a bunch of weirdos to me.

There I as it goes.

Of toil and danger should grace be the.

J.

Stopping.

Excuse me.

Can I help you?

Oh yeah.

I won't have one of these if you got one now.

What are you doing here?

What's it look like?

I come for me audition.

Look, you got to leave.

No, come on.

I want to go.

Why not?

No, come on, I'm a really good singer.

Give me a go.

Hey, if you're very good I might even give you a blowjob.

Come on.

Why would you embarrass me like that?

Oh, off.

What's happening?

Funny.

Oh, chill out.

You got off out.

Oh, there she is.

Do you like the look of her?

Is that it?

Stop checking the shit, Leah.

Do you want to get your hands down there, have a little feel?

See how wet it is?

Shut up.

We've been through everything together.

Nothing can come between us.

Especially some old wrinkly dyke like you.

Just fucking stay away from her.

See you later, James.

Alfia.

She doesn't mean any of it.

She just gets like it when she's had a drink.

Come on.

Come on.

I'm really sorry.

I know he's like probably come here to get away from stuff like that, but I swear it wasn't my fault.

Promise it won't happen again.

Okay.

All right, let's take it from the top.

Okay?

Good.

All fine.

I was concerned something like this was gonna happen.

She's always been really possessive about Jamie.

So what do we do?

It would be unfair if Jamie was discouraged from going.

Yeah, but it's not about the choir, is it?

It's about you getting in between them.

If I try and distance myself, that will only confuse her and create more problems.

Then you just need to be extra sensitive around Leanne.

That's all right.

Don't rush off homework.

Okay?

Let's get these words down by next week.

If possible, please take one.

Pass it on.

Any More on there.

Yes.

Jamie J, you're awesome tonight.

Oh, cheers.

Listen, I don't want you to feel under any pressure at all, but would you like to sing a solo at the concert on the 22nd?

All right.

Yeah.

All right.

Learn that.

Go.

See you.

Bye.

What's wrong?

I thought you'd be thrilled.

I am.

It's just I ain't got anything smart to wear, that's all.

What about an old school uniform?

I haven't been to school in three years.

Have you got any allowance left?

All right.

These are exceptional circumstances.

I could buy you something to wear and you could pay me back.

You ain't got to do that.

Singing in public for the first time is a big deal.

Gotta loop the part.

Hey.

How you doing?

Leanna, I know we seem to have got off on the wrong foot, but, you know, there's no reason why we can't get along.

What do you say we start over?

I'm taking Jamie into town tomorrow.

Why don't you come with us?

I don't want you to buy me a fucking Happy Meal so we can all sit around smiling, pretending to be mates.

Because you're not my fucking mate and you never will be.

You're just another do good or his whole fucking job.

Okay.

Oh, wow.

Never worn a skirt before.

Oh, I think you look great.

I look like a waitress.

No, you don't.

I look like a waitress.

Whatever.

Sure.

Okay.

Is that.

Is that the receipt?

Yeah.

Is it?

Okay, I'm going to frame that.

Why?

First time I've ever paid for gums in my life.

Hey, come.

Selfie.

Cookie.

Okay.

Look at that.

You should smile more.

I did smile.

That's my smile.

My feet will always land just right towards an easy way of life.

I'll be right there on the edge looking down I'll be there with you.

You can tell by my face I'm not messing around.

Gotta grab your senses and I'll lose out and the scratches are much deeper in your frame of mind I should know I was down.

But if you run off again I hope to see you at the end.

And if you find any trace I'll be standing in the right place and look behind can you see all the people that cannot see?

And if you find any trace I'll be standing in the right place.

My feet will always land just right to what's an easy way of life I'll be right there on the edge looking down I'll be there, will you?

But if you run off again I hope to see you at the end and if you find any trace I'll be standing in the right place look behind and you see all the people that do not see and if you find any trace I'll be standing in the right place and if you find any trace I'll be standing in the right place.

And press warrant for Leanne Dixon.

Jamie Harrison.

Well, Leanne's in the room.

Jamie.

Why, you.

Little Dave.

What have you.

Downstairs.

And they've got a warrant for you and Jamie.

Right, close the window behind me and tell them you saw me go out an hour ago.

You okay?

There's someone I want you to meet.

Jamie, this is Michael's friend, Charlie.

Charlie.

He's the head of songwriting at a music academy called Access to Music.

It was great work up there.

Oh, my God.

Michael says you've never sung a solo before.

You had a dang cold.

Thanks.

I always shitting myself.

Sorry.

Charlie and I were at university together.

Whilst I kept my head inside a book, Charlie and his band were busy becoming famous, touring the world.

Well, touring the world, yeah.

Famous?

Well.

Nah, debatable.

Unless you talk to my mum.

So, have you ever thought about singing professionally before?

You should come down and audition sometime.

Seriously?

Yeah.

Well, on the lookout for new talent.

You up for it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

A thank you.

Thank you.

Get in.

You know what?

What?

Thought that Charlie guy was winding me up.

No, no.

If you manage to get a place there, it could totally change your life.

But don't those places cost money?

Yes, they do, but all you need to focus on is preparing yourself for an addition.

I'll look into all the other stuff.

Okay.

Hello?

Yeah, we're just getting back from the concert.

Everything okay?

Yeah, do you mind just dropping me off right here?

There's something I've got to do.

Yeah, sure.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Charmaine called me.

Lisa gave Dean's mobile to the feds and scored our video of us nicking shit from the riots.

Fuck she do that for?

She found my letters I wrote from prison.

Foxy, I fucking knew this would happen.

Yeah, but I didn't feature Turn Grass, did I?

All right.

I've got a mate, he lives in Brighton.

He can put us up for a couple days.

No, we've got to take care of that first.

Forget that.

We have to go now that she ain't getting a free pass.

Services.

Okay.

Hi, Kate.

So, Jamie's been charged with burglary, criminal damage and abh.

She was lucky to get bail.

Who's Leanne?

Oh, she's been remanded back into custody.

Okay, thanks, Kirk.

Back.

K, K, what were you thinking?

Why would you go and throw everything away like that?

You don't understand.

No, no.

One hour.

One hour, Jamie.

After you've been offered an addition that could change your life, you decide to go and violently assault someone?

Why?

Why?

Crossed us up.

What, they deserved to end up in hospital?

Listen, you're smarter than this.

I don't believe you would have done that if you hadn't been with Leanne.

What do you expect me to do?

What, a chopper out because something better's come along?

Yeah, don't work like that where we're from.

Mian's been like family to me.

She's been there ever since.

My mom's fucked off and she's never left me since.

I understand.

No, you don't.

You don't understand.

How could you?

I mean, how?

How could.

You?

What about your mum?

Well, my mum, I was about 6, remember?

Because it was a day after my birthday.

Spent the whole day waiting for a handout off the Social.

But the handout never came.

They accused her of working on the side and they were right.

She was working full time.

Being a smacker is a 24 hour job.

Always trying to get money.

Try everywhere.

Neighbours, punters, strangers.

Of course, nobody wanted to know.

I can still see her now, standing in front of me in Kings Cross Station with these fucking crazy eyes, telling me we're going to the seaside.

Believed her?

Why wouldn't I?

She's my mom.

Went off to get the tickets.

Never came back.

Back?

Last time I saw her, six weeks later, I heard she was dead.

Sit down there.

Leanne Dixon, you are sadly no stranger to this court.

You have previously been convicted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, shoplifting, car theft, vandalism, possession of class A drugs.

The list goes on and on.

I hereby sentence you to 18 months in prison.

Get off me.

Coming.

I hope you die of cancer.

I hope you die of cancer.

Yes.

Jamie Harrison, you've been found guilty of burglary and criminal damage.

At the beginning of these proceedings, I received a glowing character reference provided by your key worker at Alpha House, the care establishment in which you reside.

But despite being a talented singer and valued member of a local community choir, your participation in the summer riots resulted in you looting several shops.

I hereby sentence you to six months in prison.

You.

All your feet.

Hey.

Go on, say it.

Say I told you so.

You did your best.

She's in prison.

Look, the bottom line is she's gonna be 18 in four months.

She won't be your problem anymore.

What would everyone have said if we decided to give up on Ben when he needed us most?

Yeah, but she's not Ben, is she?

Look, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I know this is your way of trying to deal with it, but it isn't going to change things.

You haven't visited the grave since the funeral.

You need to try and find closure.

Closure?

Fucking closure?

I despise that word, David.

What does it even mean?

I just mean trying to move on.

Jesus Christ.

Why is it so hard for you to understand?

I can't move on.

I live with this pain daily.

I live with it too.

But I'm not trying to tell you how to deal with it, am I?

I'm not you, David.

I can't go to a therapy group and share.

I can't do that because I'm still feeling the pain.

And that's the worst part.

I know it will never stop.

No matter what I do, what anyone says.

It will always be there.

Continue to be there until the day I die.

You know, Meantime, I'm gonna keep finding reasons to get up in the morning.

And I'm not going to give up on Jamie.

Because that's exactly what happened to those boys who killed Ben.

What are you talking about?

They were abandoned by their parents and they were angry.

Can't you see that?

Oh, no.

I can't deal with this anymore.

You're drunk.

Got us a radio, some tea bags, tampons, airbrush and some face.

How sweet is this?

Running together like old times.

What are you doing?

All right, ladies, time's up.

Off now.

We're playing a game.

Ah, no, girl.

We're playing now.

You got a problem with that?

No, that's what I fought.

Fucking pussy.

What are you linna take liberties for?

What do you mean?

The whole wing was waiting to see what you were about.

And he melted.

Look, I'm not trying to serve more time than I already have, all right?

Yeah, but if you don't do something, the next six months will be the longest of your life.

Don't have to feel sorry for me.

Done a lot of bad in my life and I've gotten away with all of them.

It's only fair I do my time.

All right?

I've spoken to Charlie.

And his offer of an addition still stands.

Many other girls in here have an opportunity like that waiting for them when they walk out the gate.

And I thought you might like to have this.

What are you doing?

If that.

I found it when I was packing.

But cinder's private.

You're Entitled to.

But I think you write beautifully and Charlie agrees.

The fuck is he reading it for?

Because we both want to try and help you do something with your talent.

Jamie, look at me.

Look what the fuck I'm at.

Do you think people like me have talent?

Do you think people like me go to college?

We don't.

That's not true and you know it.

Why?

Because of this?

You're not thick.

You're a bright, intelligent girl who owes it to herself, not to become just another stupid statistic.

I don't expect you to forget everything that has ever happened to you.

But if someone offers you a helping hand, you have a choice.

You can take it or you can walk away.

It's up to you.

My advice?

Don't walk away.

This.

Hello, girls.

Oh, there's a bachelor she could jog on.

We were wondering if either of you might be interested in Own the guitar.

Anyway, I'll be in the gym in about an hour if you are.

All right, girls, thank you very much.

Thanks.

Okay, listen.

We are very lucky to have the musician Billy Bragg here with us today.

He's come to talk to us about the initiative that he set up.

So over to you.

Thank you very much.

So for the last seven years, I've been running an initiative called Jail Guitar Doors.

I've been getting guitars into prisons to people like yourselves.

And it may seem like a big deal, you know, trying to learn to play a guitar, but it's something really that's, you know, it has the potential, I think, to help you to unlock the door.

Not to this place, I'm afraid, but to the next part of your life after you get out of this place.

I'm hoping that you can use these instruments to learn how to play a song.

Okay, over to you, ladies.

Questions.

What about if you can't play at all?

Well, all of us started out not being able to play at all.

And I can be perfectly honest with you, I'm not very musical.

If you want to make the weather and you have to take the plane if sometimes dark clouds fill the sky and it starts to rain Folks complain and though you hate me Tell you to run and hide Listen to your heart and you find me right by your soul what you got there?

No toy.

Oh, just a guitar.

Let me see.

No, you're all right.

Don't worry.

I ain't gonna chore it.

Just wanna have a look.

Sweet.

I'm having this.

Go on.

Now.

Off.

It's.

What are you doing?

Come at us again and I open you up.

You understand?

You better not be.

Are you smiling about something nice?

Like what?

Gas.

You bought me Chinese and you're taking me out today?

No.

The resettlement team have found your flat in Isleworth.

Are you being for real?

And when you get out of here, you can move in straight away.

Oh, my days.

How did you manage that?

I took my clothes off.

Jamie Harrison.

Jamie Harrison.

Do you want to come with me, please?

Right, your copy's to take away.

Now, I know there's a lot of information here, but essentially what you need to remember is that if you break any of your license conditions, you will be recalled and sent back to prison to serve out the rest of your sentence.

Do you understand?

Now, how do you intend to fill your days whilst on probation?

I'm going to try to find some work and I've got an audition at a music college in two weeks.

That's a really positive start.

Well done.

Oh, my God, this is sick.

Got me own bath.

Yeah, there's a lock on the door.

This is.

This is cool.

Right?

So.

So fine.

Going there.

Okay.

Did you get a James poster?

Right there.

Just.

Why don't you tell me how you feel when you sing?

It feels different.

Sometimes I'm.

It's like I'm escaping from myself.

I can be anyone.

I can go anywhere.

All the shit stuff around me just disappears.

Other times, even if it's just for a moment.

Don't feel so bad.

I feel happy.

Look, just give me a number.

Got the same number as you have, Leanne.

She.

She's probably had it cut off.

And tell me where her flat is then.

You know we can't do that.

Oh, fuck off.

I know you know where she is.

Look, she's my best mate and I got a right to know where she is.

I'll get a message to her asking her to contact you.

Okay?

Fuck this shit.

Hey.

Hey.

Yeah, I'm in here.

Your car's on fire.

What?

Maka at the front.

God.

Cory, get back.

Get back.

It's a bit of a mess in it.

Any idea who did it?

Leanne Dixon.

Leanne Dixon.

Any idea where she might have gone?

Yeah.

Hello?

Jamie Harrison?

Yeah.

We're looking for your friend, Leanne Dixon.

Your best friend.

You seen her at all?

No.

When was the last time you saw her?

It's been a while.

Really?

Well, if she does make contact, you must inform us immediately.

Okay?

She's wanted in connection with a serious crime.

Yeah, okay.

All right, thank you, Jamie.

Header gone.

It posh for you, this place?

In it.

Right.

Where am I sleeping?

Got in what?

Access to music.

I got in.

No one, however, ventured very far from their village.

Goodbye.

They've offered me a full scholarship.

J.

Oh.

Sorry.

Against the rules.

Sorry.

Oh.

Coming.

It.

Blank page.

That's where it all starts.

Right.

But what inspires someone to fill it up?

As varied as we are, this module is about exploring the development of your creative ideas and turning them into finished songs.

So let's start by kicking around a few songs, try and deconstruct their meaning.

Um, Jamie, give us a song, Any song.

Blowing in the Wind.

Bob Dylan.

Great.

Now, what do we think Dylan was writing about?

Fellatio.

If you're looking for oral pleasure in a song.

Lollipop.

Lil Wayne.

That's the one.

Jimmy.

Jamie.

Jimmy.

You should see the look on your face.

There's a warrant out for your arrest.

I have an obligation to inform them of your whereabouts.

You ain't gonna say you know it because you don't want to get Jamie and just trouble.

Yeah.

If you really were her best friend, you wouldn't put her in this position.

Sa.

Because by hiding her, you're implicating yourself.

What am I doing?

What she would do for me.

Okay, what about your parole conditions?

I can't.

I can't just kick her out, Kate.

I'm all she's got.

She's going to drag you down.

Why can't you see that now?

When everybody else had written me off, you put yourself in the line and you stood by me.

Why can't I do the same for her?

If they find her at your flat, you're going straight back inside.

You'll lose your place here, your flat.

You will lose everything.

Whatever.

Hello.

Back.

Hey.

Okay.

Hey.

Hey.

What is it?

What's happened?

Come on.

It's okay.

It's okay.

I just think it's important to remember that what you've achieved with Jamie is and really is nothing short of a miracle.

If she gets arrested, they'll send her straight back to prison.

A lot of him for nothing.

I know.

I know it's hard.

But you have to accept that some things are out of your control.

Yeah.

Just want it to be the right choices.

Yeah.

You can't make somebody choose something.

You know that better than anybody.

She's an adult.

And you gotta let her go.

You know, for her sake and for you.

Okay.

Fantastic.

That's it for today.

Next week we're going to be concentrating on your showcase songs.

Now, why are these songs so important?

Answer.

Because with one song, you were saying to the world, this is me.

Now take him Seriously, this showcase might be the moment.

What the is going on?

What do.

This is my home.

Little crack house.

Oh, chill out.

Get him out of Elian to get them out.

I said get out of my fucking.

Get out now.

Fucking get out of my flat.

Go and get out, you fucking prick.

Get the out of my flat, you idiot.

Hurry up.

Think I'm fucking playing?

Look, got no one to talk to.

I was lonely is all.

You need help, Leanne.

You need to get clean.

Duh.

I can stop whatever I want.

That's what my fucking mum said.

That doesn't have to be like this, you know.

What?

A constant fucking struggle.

Always looking over your shoulder in case the feds come.

What, sleeping with crackheads?

Yeah.

Still alive, aren't I?

Yeah.

Surviving and living are two different things.

Listen, I've been thinking.

Forget about all that shit.

I've been thinking.

I ran into this girl I was sharing a cell with yester, and her brother's a big time dealer from Swansea.

She said he'd have no problem ticking us and ounce of gear every week.

We'd fucking smash it.

Jame.

What'd you say?

Me?

You.

50.

50 straight down the middle.

I don't want that kind of life anymore.

I want something better.

I want that for you too.

Like what?

Anything.

Anything.

You've got your whole life ahead of you.

No, I'm just trying to have a good time before they catch up with me and put me back inside.

And then what?

Go straight back in after they let you out?

Is that what you want?

Why not try and use your time in there?

Positively, yeah.

They've got detox programmes.

You can do some courses, gain some qualifications.

I can't read, Jamie.

You can learn all four so's I can stand in line at the dole office.

Fuck that.

I need proper dough and I ain't gonna get it by cleaning out a Bog on 3.95

an hour with the rest of them.

Immigrant ain't no shit shoveling.

Leanne, What's happened to you?

Leanne.

Leanne.

Leanne.

Leanne.

Why can't you hear what I'm saying?

Don't break my heart, don't break my heart, don't break my heart.

You make me say things and I rather be than anyone else but if you make me mad.

But if you make me mad.

Don't break my heart don't break my heart, don't break my heart.

In my heart.

Where are the roses and whisper signs?

Where are the compliments and dreaming eyes?

It doesn't matter.

That is it.

I know you love me.

Oh.

What are you doing here?

You said you wouldn't come between us.

What are you talking about?

She was all I had, and you took her away from me.

No, I didn't.

I didn't.

Didn't.

Le.

That's not true.

Come on.

No.

It's okay.

It's okay.

She was my friend.

She wasn't yours to have.

No.

Leon.

Come here.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Basic love.

Never die.

Don't break my heart don't break my heart don't break my heart don't break my heart There are the roses and whispers Compliments and dreamy lies it doesn't matter, you see I know you love me real.

Hi, Mom.

Don't break my heart.

My weary wandering steps he leads where peaceful rivers soft and slow Amid the vern the landscape flow though in a bare and rugged way through devious lonely wilds I stray Thy bounty shall my pains be Big owl.

The barren wilderness shall smile.

Thanks.

I'm so sorry.

Make her proud.

Please.

You okay?

Come on.

Let's go home.

All right, next up is someone who I am very proud of.

She's very dear to me.

She has developed so much in the little time that I've known her.

In fact, in all my time working at Access to Music, I have never met a student more deserving of a place.

She's extremely talented, and she continues to surprise us all and herself.

Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for Jamie Harrison.

Hiya.

Well, my song is about.

Well, sometimes we can all use help.

And I think the most important thing is that when anyone offers you help, it's your responsibility to recognize it for where it is.

And you know it's a good thing.

So don't walk away from it.

It's absolutely fine.

And it's my first song I've ever written, so.

It's called Car Crash.

Black eyes caught in the light of the fast cars Moving away at high speed Left on my back I am waiting to catch my breath I look up, see you Wondering if you would walk away.

Big flash heading my way as the wind wind cracks over my face I can't hear I cannot hear what they're saying Right to my face I look up, see you more Wondering if you would walk away.

I don't know why you would walk away.

Please, please raise your hands and then take me home.

Clear what's around me so I can breath.

I can tell by the tears that I'm breaking in your heart Please take me home.

I can't hear they are sad I can't hear what they are saying no one can hear.

J.

Say.

I don't know why you would walk away.

I feel I could turn myself around Take a breath and turn around Will you be there if I call.

I'll wait for the right time to arrive Let the moment fall away Watch your way into the landscape I can hear what you say loud and clear does this this really matter?

You keep on looking we wrapped it in the eyes you say yes this really matters.

The hours meant to stop from shaking to the bottom.

Until my hands are down until I stepped away walk away into the landscape I could hear the words you say loud and clear but does this really matter?

You keep on looking right between the eyes you say yes this really matters.

From sinking to the bottom.

Sinking to the bottom.

I was meant to stop from sinking to the bottom.

I was meant to stop from sinking to the bottom you.

Don't you know I'm sicking I'm sicking don't you know I'm s I'm sinking sa.
