All language subtitles for The Principal s01e03.eng

This place is a war zone.

- What the fuck are you?
- Your new principal.

If they can't fix a doorknob
that's been busted for 18 months,

how are they gonna fix this place?

Give me two weeks.

Have you seen Mum's necklace?

Sisi's girlfriend, I seen her wearing it.

- Are you sure?
- He stole it.

And then gave it to her.

- You're a fucking dead man.
- Sisi, come here. I wanna talk to you.

- Fuck you.
- No!

You said you'd keep them safe!

I'm sorry.

Sisi was at my house last
night. Fell asleep on the couch.

Listen, what do you
know about Kenny Mavondo?

WOMAN: It's not the murder weapon.

He said he needed it for protection.

Why aren't you in uniform?

The principal says it
intimidates the boys.

- No wonder he asked for you.
- He asked for me?

A few years ago, a female student
made a complaint against him.

Inappropriate contact.

(SILENCE)

This is the night of the murder?

No, he didn't go in that
night. He just called.

This is two days before.

Is that the husband or the wife?

- 6:20 on the fourth.
- That was a Monday.

Well, the husband would
have been at his other job

We just spoke to him at 7:00
and he was home from work.

If they were having an
affair. That's pretty risky.

Isn't that the whole point?

- Wouldn't you go somewhere else?
- Where's he gonna go?

It's not exactly like
he can go to his place.

You'd be able to relate to that.

No, the husband, he could have found out.

Not on that night.
They're both out at 6:31.

Pull their bank records. I don't
care if he's got an alibi.

He might have paid for
somebody else to kill him.

Oh, and I'll need your school files.

- Just leave them on my desk.
- No.

I've got a duty of care to those students.

What does that mean? Protecting
them from a murder charge?

Not everything in those files
relates to your investigation.

Anyway, you don't want to waste your time

reading about a kid who's
tagged a train carriage

or nicked some chips from the canteen.

I'll go through them and put
anything relevant on your desk.

Sure. As you've got nothing
better to do tonight.

(PHONE RINGS AND VIBRATES)

Hi, Mum.

No. No. I'm not gonna be home for
dinner. I've got to work late.

I don't... Just... I've got to go. Bye.

Let's do it.

The cops aren't going to do
anything, bro. We have to.

Come on. We can't let
them get away with it.

Shh. Shh. Wait.

Your brother's dead. He's fucking dead.

- And you're just walking around like
nothing's happening. - I said wait.

Hey, Sisi.

Come anywhere near the funeral
and we'll fucking kill you.

Hey, Farid. Where are you going?

This is shit, sir. You
said there'd be manoush.

I said we would see, if you turned up.

And I did. I could have
still been sleeping.

How about a jaffle maker?

I can get one of those tomorrow.

O... only if there's baked beans.

And white bread, too. None of
that bullshit with the bits.

You tell your mates spending
their money on manoush every day,

8:55 every morning, breakfast club.

Today, you've got to put up with cereal.

Got any sugar?

(TRAIN RATTLES PAST)

(YAWNS) Fuck.

I wish I was in a gang. I
could do with some sleep.

Did you go out last night or something?

My, uh... my wife is
eight months pregnant.

Congratulations.

(ROLLER DOOR CREAKS OPEN)

Here we go.

The big guy's Dakan Malik. He went
to Boxdale a couple of years back.

He dropped out after Year 10.

I dunno who the other guy is.

Yousef Boulos.

He's the one Middle Eastern
reckon killed Sisi's brother

but they couldn't make it stick.

(CAMERA CLICKS)

We can't even question them.

I mean, the numbers Karim called were for
burners that were chucked out weeks ago.

Call MEOCS, speak to Frank Ferguson

and give him their names and any
others you think might be in there

and see if there's any overlap
with their persons of interest.

It's Kalid Jamal.

Aham Hussan...

.. and Abdul Elomar.

E-L-O-M-A-R.

Yep.

OK. OK.

Oh, shit. Shit. Fucking goose chase.

Tell him while he's at it to look
up the names of everyone in there.

He hung up.

Oh, for fuck's sake.

- Hey.
- Hey. Thanks.

That's alright. Looks like you don't
need the extra help after all.

Maybe Sisi's smarter than we thought.

Hmm.

Sir, why are the cops taking photos?

It's because you look so
good in your school uniform.

Ladies, you agree?

Allahu Akbar.

Allahu Akbar.

Allahu Akbar.

Allahu Akbar.

(RECITES SOFTLY)

(MOURNFUL MUSIC)

(SIGHS)

Hey, listen, thanks for doing this,
especially as you can't even...

- It's OK. It's my day
off, not yours. - Exactly.

The guy with the tatts back at the mosque,

he's with the gang that
Karim was involved with?

Yeah. We're pretty sure.

Drugs?

Mmm. Drugs, guns, extortion,
sexual assault. You name it.

They do what they like 'cause
no-one ever presses charges.

Mohammad can take some of the boys.

- But if you're...
- How is he?

I can't even imagine.

Yeah.

Is your dad still alive?

Yeah.

You must never see him with
all the hours that you work.

I hope you've got some good air freshener

'cause you're about to be hit with
the body odour of four teenage boys.

(GENTLE PIANO MUSIC)

Thanks. I was going mad
with all that free time.

What's going on?

Ursula put Rina off all paperwork
and put her back to part-time.

We needed the funds to pay for
new laptops. You weren't here.

May as well chuck that
money out the window,

that's what the kids are
gonna do with those laptops.

Teachers need to be able to teach.

Miss, your car's too small.

Yeah, well, I don't plan on
driving you around every day.

My uncle has a dealership in Burwood.

I could, uh, get you a good deal.

Thanks. But I like this one.

You need something with
more doors, for your family.

Farid, stop pushing me, bro.

Why does Farid get to sit in the front?

- I'm the best looking.
- No, it's 'cause you're fat.

- (LAUGHTER)
- Hey, settle down. Settle down!

You know, Tarek's lucky to
have mates like you guys.

- What classes are you missing?
- Double maths.

- I could drive you
back if you want. - No.

- Bilal...
- What, bro?

Fuck.

- Thanks, miss.
- See ya.

Shit. Shit. Shit.

Where did you get the necklace?

I found it.

Why do you keep perfume in here?

- I don't like handbags.
- Hmm.

I like this one.

You can have some.

I saw you at the funeral today.

- Did you steal the necklace?
- No!

Where did you get it, then?

Karim.

He gave it to you?

Does Sisi know?

He gave it to her for their
two-month anniversary.

MAN: (ON PHONE) What's the girl's surname?

It's Dragovic. I said you'd
need to interview her.

I told her that you'd be careful.

Maria, get hold of the
parents of Lucinda Dragovic?

We need to talk to their daughter.

Yeah, can you just... Can you be careful?

It's just if Sisi doesn't
know, he's gonna ask why...

- (HANGS UP)
- Shit.

MAN: Mate, it's too late.
The order's gone through.

Listen, the good news is

I've got one of those breakfast TV
shows interested in doing a story

on the kids receiving the laptops.

- You know, sort of a feelgood thing.
- No. Forget about it. Cancel it.

I'm trying to do you a favour here, Matt.

I mean, you could use some good PR.

I'll tell you what I can
use -- what I already had.

A staff member to take care of the shit

that gets in the way of
teachers actually teaching.

OK, well, think about it like this --

the laptops will give them extra time.

Well, what do the kids get out of it?

Matt, I am not the enemy here.

Hi, Val. Is Sisi in today?

Yes. He's in maths with Mr Paglan.

- Do you want the room number?
- No. Thanks.

I might just... I've got some
other stuff I need to do.

(BELL RINGS)

Hey, Matt.

Hey. I just need to talk
to you about something.

Yeah, sure. What is it?

Well, here's not really the best place.

Well, here's where I've got to be.

Miss, your hair looks nice.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

I thought maybe we could
meet up after school.

We could go over your
side of town if you want.

Best you make an appointment with Val.

Hey.

Hey. Hey.

- Do you want a doughnut?
- Are you having a go?

What? No. No. No.

We were making loukoumades in
class. I was just wondering if...

'Cause I'm a cop and I sit on my
fat arse all day eating doughnuts.

- I never said anything about you...
- You mean calling me fat?

- They're golden syrup.
- Fuck off with your doughnuts.

Hey. Hey. You can't go in there.

Give me a break! It's my day
off. I just want a Cherry Ripe.

Hopefully this is enough.

If they think that they're
talking to the cops,

it's gonna make things worse.

Why do you think the
chocolates are so expensive?

Would you be prepared to make a statement?

Sami?

Sir, do you have our recipe plans?
I forgot to put one thing in...

Yeah, I'll be getting to
that in just a minute.

Kenny.

OK. Yep.

Just keep the noise
down back there, Kenny.

Sef can't concentrate up here.

Piss off, sir.

OK. Um... Tarek.

- He's not here today, sir.
- I think he's sick.

Sick of being in the
same class as a murderer.

Bilal! Do I have to call Miss Bright?

No. That's a pretty old
phone you've got there, sir.

You should get a better plan.

The only plan I'm worried
about are your recipe plans.

And from what I can see, they're
reading really, really well.

So, good job, guys.

So, today, what we're going
to do is make a shopping list,

taking into account all of our
pantry staples, including...

- Oh, come on in, Tarek.
- Fuck off, faggot.

Our pantry staples include,

um... flour, sugar, rice, onions.

Can anyone think of any others?

Get the fuck off me!

Argh!

(SHOUTS AND SWEARS INDISTINCTLY)

Fuck you! Fuck you!

(SHOUTING CONTINUES IN THE BACKGROUND)

Don't even look at me, Bilal.

Hey. Hey, let him go.

- Matt, he's clearly on something.
- I said let him go.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

Don't fucking touch me.
Don't fucking touch me.

- I'm calling the police.
- No!

What do you mean no?

Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey, just calm down.

OK, he's 16 years old. You call the
police, that goes on his record.

The cops are here.

It wasn't me.

- It's the detectives.
- I'm taking him to hospital.

- Sir, I have to pray.
- Not now, Sami.

- Sir, I have to!
- Just go. Quickly. Quickly.

The rest of you sit down now.

How can I help you?

We're here to collect Francis Parata.

Um, OK. I'll just... I'll get him.

- MAN: Bilic with you?
- No. Why?

Mid East Crime got a match
on one of our names.

Going on their terror watch list,

went to a memorial service
a couple of months back

for a 41-year-old male, Isham Bivas.

He went to Syria to visit family
and got killed in the crossfire.

I don't understand.

Well...

.. his father, her husband.

Apparently the tuck shop lady's number
shows up on their guy's phone records

multiple times in the week
leading up to the murder.

What's this?

CCTV footage --

to go back to the school.

Apparently Bilic pulled an
all-nighter watching them.

Nothing.

MAN: Miss!

- You know it wasn't me, miss.
- Settle down.

I didn't fucking do it, miss. Why
do they keep blaming me for this?

It's OK. They just want
to ask you some questions.

- Well, they took my phone.
- They'll give it back. It's OK.

Your mum and dad are on their way.

- No. No, Pig's my guardian.
- Not today.

Oh, miss. But you know my parents
do night shift. If they...

Pig said he was with you the
night Karim was murdered.

He was.

The problem is we've got
security footage of him

in a club in Parramatta.

I killed him.

That's what they all think.

It doesn't matter what I say, right?

(SIGHS)

I didn't do it, miss.

Did you talk to the butcher?

Yeah. Minimart extortion checks out.

Corroborated with some
other local businesses

who all say they've been
heavied by the Sons Bazur.

Karim was probably their bagman.

Maybe they needed to get rid
of him for skimming off the top.

Sisi's girlfriend thinks that he did it.

- Did she say that?
- No.

But he's been texting her all day.

No reply.

He is OK.

I think the worst part is over.

I don't understand what is wrong.

He took a drug called ice.

Most of it's worked its
way out of his system,

but they just need to monitor
him until he wakes up.

For all of this to happen,
it's probably his first time.

Mohammad.

(SIGHS)

Attention, please, teachers and students.

If everybody could assemble
in the quadrangle now.

Oh, no, that's alright.
No need to fill me in.

Have we missed anything? What's going on?

- Just a Jesus impersonation.
- I thought he was Muslim.

- Samburg, shut up.
- (CAT-CALLING)

Attention, please, everybody.

I've just come from the hospital.

And there's a boy there in a bed.

A kid just like you.

He's got a drip hanging out of his arm,

he's had charcoal pumped into his
stomach to help him throw up.

But you know what? He's lucky
because he could be dead.

Now, I'm not going to be taking
any other kids to the hospital.

And I won't have any
more drugs in my school.

So if any of you have anything
in your bags or in your lockers,

go and get it.

You've got from now till the
bell goes off for next period

to put them in this bin

which Raymond is going to put
at the bottom of the stairs

next to the canteen.

And nobody's going to see anything.

Teachers are going to make
themselves a cup of coffee.

Staff?

I won't be watching. Not today.

But tomorrow, the next day,

and every day for as long as
you're here at this school,

I will be watching you.

So this is your chance. And if
you're smart, you'll take it.

And if anyone thinks they're going
to get to what's in that bin

before I do,

well, just know one thing --
I will find out, so don't.

(MURMURING)

An amnesty on drugs.

If you want a fight about
this, it'll have to wait

'cause I've got to get
back to the hospital.

Yeah, I don't know if you've noticed,

but there is more than one
student at this school.

Tarek is not one student,

he's everything about
this place that is wrong.

And if we can't help him, then we
haven't got a fucking hope in hell.

(KNOCKS AT DOOR)

Kellie, come on in.

Sorry, it's just I've
got a flight to catch

and I didn't have any
time to pack this morning.

Is it just you living here?

Well, Matt and I bought
this place together.

When we split up it was just
easier for me to stay put.

I don't have a lot of
time to look for a place.

You didn't seem surprised when I called.

Well, I heard about the murder.

I know people in Matt's position
are under scrutiny all the time.

Like with the girl at Lakehurst.

That happened when we were just married.

- Did you ever think
that maybe...? - No.

Matt would never do
anything to harm anyone.

Yeah. He really cares about those kids.

That's easy for him.

Well, if you meet some of
them, you might not think so.

It's harder for Matt to let
someone be there for him.

He could never really let me in.

If you ask me,

he never really got over the death
of his friend back in high school.

It's just my theory, though.
He'd never talk about it.

He just ran... all the time.

Do you remember his friend's name?

(KNOCKS LOUDLY ON METAL DOOR)

Dakan tells me you're a friend of Karim's.

That's right. I saw you at the funeral.

You don't look like a friend.

You look more like the guy on the
news in front of the high school.

- (SCOFFS) I'm the principal.
- All the same to me.

What do you need?

You're sweating, man. It looks
like you're missing Karim.

(CHUCKLES)

I don't want you or your drugs
anywhere near those kids.

You wanna play with me?

Huh?

No.

What you do here, that's your business.

What I do at that school, that's mine.

And you so much as give a fucking
Panadol to a Boxdale kid after today,

I'll make it my business
that you don't have one.

You got a fucking death wish or something?

(STARTS ENGINE)

Hello.

Norton, better get down here.

It's the African kid,
he's covered in blood.

What?!

One of your guys brought him in.

Apparently he attacked someone with
a knife. He's in the interview room.

- DoCS are on their way.
- And where's Sisi?

His parents come and got him.
Couldn't get a confession.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Hey, Kenny.

Where's my dad?

He came.

It's pretty good here, hmm?

No phones, no Skype, no laptops.

No boys to yell at.

But the food's pretty shit.

Not like yours.

It's not even as good as Bilal's.

And we both know he only did food tech

because he thought it'd
be a female teacher.

Are you hungry?

Yeah.

- (KNOCKS)
- Cinda.

Open up. It's Sisi.

(KNOCKS)

Cinda.

Cinda!

One of the older kids at his
foster home's been abusing him.

Yes, Joseph Kimbe, 18, on remand
for assault and sex offences.

Well, if you knew about that, why
didn't you report it to DoCS?

We didn't know about
it and neither did they.

Maybe that's why he stole the knife.

He wasn't at home.

He was sleeping at the school.

Maybe there's more than one
person he's afraid of --

a gang member, a racist.

A kid that was bullying him, a teacher.

What?

Oh, shit. How could I miss this?

He was only there for a minute.
I'm sure there's an explanation.

Well, he said he runs.

Yeah. His wife said that too.

You mean ex-wife. Play it again.

He looks like he's just been for a run.

Yeah, but why run in
the middle of the night?

Kenny didn't say anything
about him, either time.

Does he have anything to
do with the kid day to day?

- There's a breakfast club.
- Breakfast club?

Kenny didn't want to go
home, we know why now.

He was just making sure
he had something to eat.

- Getting him something
he needed. - Hmm.

So that he'd trust him.

Nick. Alright, mate?

This is the kid that I was
telling you about from my school.

He's gonna give you a run
for your money one day.

- Hello, mate. I'm Nick.
- Tarek.

Good to meet you.

I'm gonna need you to run the pass
while I go out and sign for a delivery.

I'll just be a sec.

MAN: Order up, table 16.

That looks like my mum's kibbeh.

Is she the reason why you like to cook?

She'd be proud of you, you know,

what you're doing in Mr Karidis's class.

Your dad will be too.

Maybe he wasn't today, but he will be...

.. if you try him.

It's up to you.

You don't have to use
the whole tin, you know.

- Oh, sir.
- Alright.

I'm not the one who's gonna be
cleaning it up when it overflows.

Oh, sir.

- Maybe I'll give you the day
off tomorrow. - Oh, si...

Really?

- No.
- Oh, sir.

- Did you see Kenny today?
- No, sir.

(HORN BLARES)

Where the fuck is she?

So, it's M-A-V-O-N-D-O.

Yeah.

Where's he gonna go?

There's a residential care
unit not far from here.

- By not far, you mean...
- He'll have to change schools.

Given the circumstances, the
current situation with his guardian

and that there's no next of kin...

- Have you got my details?
- Yeah. On the police liaison.

Listen, I'll talk to Legal Aid.

They'll assign someone for the
further questioning tomorrow

and we'll organise
someone to bring him in.

- What time do they want him?
- First thing. 9:00. 9:00's good.

OK. Good. We're done here.

Kenny, do you want to check this over,

make sure I've done everything right?

I'll check with my colleague in the
car, see if they're ready for you.

Do you want to take this?

Kenny, you need to check that
she's spelled your name right.

And if you want to put me down
as your emergency contact...

Mrs Langworthy?

I was wondering if you could tell me
if your son Chris knew a Matt Bashir.

Better not get that
shit on my shirt, yeah?

My mum just washed it.

Bilal, focus on your own dish, please.

Sir, it's not fair.
I've got nothing to do.

Well, you missed the
last couple of classes,

so I don't have a recipe plan
to get ingredients for you.

How about you just walk around,
see what everyone's doing,

and get inspiration for your own dish?

Sir. I'm not sure whether the whole
tin goes in or just the pineapple.

Well, why don't you ask someone
else from Samoa? They might know.

Sisi's not here.

Alright, let me have a look.

So, what? This whole thing goes
in there like a pastizzi, does it?

- No, sir, it's paifala.
- I'm just saying.

Hey, sir, wh... why isn't my name here?

Oh, God.

It says it's for work experience
but, uh, my name's not there.

Tarek, can we talk about
this later, after class?

Why isn't my name there?

Look, after yesterday,

I just don't think it's a good
idea anymore that we send...

You said I could go to Bon Gusto's.

Until you can prove to me that
you are able to work in a safe...

This is bullshit.

They were great mates.

Matt would come up the farm sometimes.

Sounds like you knew him pretty well.

He didn't get on with his dad so
he spent a fair bit of time here.

Seemed like a nice kid.

But you never really know

what's going on in the
head of a teenage boy.

- Sir.
- Tarek.

- Tarek! You can't go in there.
- What's going on?

I'm going down the station to help
these men with their investigation.

Sir, Mr Karidis said that
I can't do work experience.

- Sir! - Tarek, I can't
help you right now.

You know, I never trusted cops as
a kid and you just reminded me why.

- Did you kill Karim?
- What do you reckon?

Don't answer the door. If Tarek
gets in touch, you call me.

You've being accused of improper
conduct with a student in the past.

And you have formed close relations

with a number of vulnerable young students

including the victim's brother.

I can't help you.
