Ready? Watch this.

Don’t...

- What do you thinking? - Fuck off.

- Poppy? - Hey, babe.

- I’ve got something to say. - Okay.

Don’t be with him.

- He’s an idiot. - Beth!

He doesn’t deserve you.

You deserve to be with someone who will treat you like a queen.

And who’s that?

Me.

A bit of toast,

then you can take your tablets.

You had a good sleep?

- Yeah. - Good.

Needed it.

- Have you got school? - No,

I’m not going to go in today.

- I want to stay with you. - You can’t miss school.

It’s fine,

it’s nothing special.

Hey, I’m expecting big things from you tomorrow.

I’ll catch up.

What’s wrong with you?!

- You’ve showed your face, then. - You marked her wrists.

She kept running away.

She’s embarrassing herself.

So?

You can’t just tie her up like a dog!

What would you rather, she ran in the road?

I’m going to call the hospital.

No, you’re not.

Do that again, and I will.

I am warning you.

Go on.

What are you going to do?

Tell me what to do and I’ll throw you away.

Who the fuck does she think she is?

Right, big day, ladies and gentlemen, so nice and quiet, please.

Focus.

- Morning, Madame Bummer. - Off me.

Miss, the boy struck me!

- Struck me, I tell you! - Enough, Priest.

- And turn your chair back. - What, you said sit down, Miss.

- You didn’t say how we had to sit down. - Just move, will you?

Be more clear, then.

- Travis, have you seen Bethan? - No.

Right, is she coming?

- How am I supposed to know? - Okay, and Lydia?

- I’m not their baby-sitter, miss. - All right.

Heya, Pops,

how’ve you been?

Sorry, Olivia, I’m really trying to focus.

- You all right? - Yeah.

- Good? - Good.

- Turned out nice again, hasn’t it? - Yeah.

I’m going to sort the garden out.

Get you some fresh air.

There you go.

Could paint your nails for you, if you like.

That’d be nice.

Fuck.

Why don’t you go out the back, Mum?

Get a bit of air.

- Is that all right? - Yeah, of course it’s all right. Go on.

- Who is it? - Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Hello? Hello?

- They’re a bit pushy. - I know.

Hiya, are you all right?

Oh, there you are.

- What happened today? - Sorry.

It’s nothing, I’m just not very well.

The school didn’t have any notice from your parents you’d be absent.

Really? My mother said she’d call.

Yeah, she must have forgotten.

Both you and Lydia were no-shows,

- so I was worried. - It was Lydia’s birthday yesterday, so...

she’s probably just hungover.

Are your mum or dad at home?

- Why? - I need to talk to them about you resitting.

It’ll affect your GCSE grade if you don’t.

They’re at work.

Okay, when are they back?

- I’ll call your mum later. - My mother’s got yoga tonight,

- so not till about nine-ish. - Bethan.

- Yeah? - You’re A-star material.

Don’t throw it away now, all right?

- I just need to talk to your mum. - There’s no point.

- My mother had a breakdown. - Guys, who’s this?

Bethan’s mum!

There’s no point.

Cos I’m going to come in anyway now, so...

- Okay. - Sorry if this is TMI, but

I had diarrhoea this morning, yeah.

My mother thinks it was a dodgy prawn,

but it’s eased off now, so I was going to come in for the afternoon.

That doesn’t sound fun.

Yeah. Gave my toilet a beating.

- Yeah, no, that’s TMI. - Sorry.

I really want to retake it.

I’ve done so much revision.

All right.

Come to my class at break.

And get an Imodium down your neck.

Yeah, I will. See you in a bit.

My God.

Good.

Don’t like it when you miss school.

I need to go in for the afternoon,

got to hand some course work in, okay?

Don’t miss that.

- Got to do well for uni, ain’t you? - Yeah.

You need a coat, it’s cold out here.

Doss arse, you.

I need to go to school for a couple of hours.

You all right till I get back?

I’m going to put some new rose bushes in, I think.

What do you reckon, Trina?

I’d love pink roses out here.

She needs her tablets again now at 3.

- I left them in the kitchen. - All right.

I could get us a takeaway after. Curry!

- Get your coat. - “Get your coat.”

- I’m being serious, Mum. Oy. - “Being serious, Mum.”

- Bye. - Bye!

Fancy going for a drive?

My mum tucked me and my brother both in last night.

You know Neil, he’s, like, getting a six pack and stuff. Great.

- Hey. - I reckon you’d like him.

Hey, babe, where you been?

My God, it’s a long story, it’s fine now.

Can we go somewhere?

Yeah, yeah.

- Is she looking? - What the fuck?

Stalking me as always.

- Is everything okay? - Yeah, fine.

I spoke to Ms. Morgan earlier. I’m going to resit.

What happened?

I just got sick and

I had... a sickness bug.

Is that true?

Yeah.

Just vomming, it was gross.

Why?

Don’t know, I just thought maybe

things ended a bit weirdly last night.

I didn’t think it was weird.

That stuff I said about Jamie...

I was worried it might have upset you and maybe that’s why you didn’t come in.

It’s cool.

Yeah, I’m happy for you.

Okay.

Does that tickle?

It’s weird for Jamie.

It, it’s fun, and he’s sweet.

All this head girl stuff’s exciting, obviously, but...

kind of feel like now I got you, do I even need all that?

Do you know what I mean?

Like, if we just did this every day, I’d be happy.

And I was thinking last night after you left...

what if we hadn’t started hanging out?

I can’t imagine my life without you, Beth.

- We should... - Yeah.

See that?

Do you know what that’s called?

A great black-backed gull.

Just looks like a seagull.

Yeah, it is, basically.

A seagull in a tux.

It’s a bit windy.

Nah, it’s fresh!

Are you glad to be out?

Yeah, and me.

- No. - Drop won’t hurt, will it?

I’m not allowed with my pills, Dil.

Go on, now, go get us an ice cream.

Ice cream?

It’s freezing.

Need a cup of tea.

Yeah, whatever. Come along.

- Hi, Nan. - Where you to?

Just getting to my friend’s. Why?

Well, because I come here to see you, and there’s nobody here.

They won’t be long. I think they’re just getting a curry.

What time does the postman come here?

I don’t know, midday, why?

Because the post is still stuck in the door.

Right, Nan, I’ve got to go. I’ll speak to you later.

Love you, bye. Bye-bye.

- Hang on a minute. - Hey, is Lydia home?

- He’s like 45. - Yeah, but whatever, like,

let’s just forget about that part.

Heya.

What do you want?

Why did you miss the exam?

I only tell things like that to my friends.

She went to see Tony Chippy last night.

This isn’t a big deal.

Last thing she remembers is going to see him in the shop.

Hey, keep your voice down.

And then he dropped her off in the village a few hours later.

So what happened?

Well, we weren’t doing watercolours, were we?

She doesn’t remember,

but she didn’t have any knickers on.

What?

He’s old as hell. What’s he doing having sex with a 16-year-old?

- Whatever, just because you’re both frigid. - Lydia, can you please just take this?

- Yeah, I will, all right? Just chill. - No, now.

All right!

Don’t burst a blood vessel.

Oh my God.

What was she thinking? Like, he’s such a creep,

- he’s minging. - You know, Beth...

- What? - I texted you, I...

I asked you to come, and you just ignored me.

- I told you she needed someone. - I know, but I was with my gran.

I thought you said your dad had cut his hand?

Yeah, he did, but after that I was with my gran.

You’re just full of shit, Beth.

You’ve just left me to look after her, and I can’t do it by myself.

- I’m sorry. - I don’t care if you’re sorry,

- because it’s too fucking late now. - What do you mean, Trav?

- Trav, just... - I would never have let you down.

- Trav! - Ever.

- There you are. - Hiya.

What, are they still not back?

- No, I’ve been sat here like a spare dick. - Sorry, Nan.

Have you rung them?

- Yeah, there’s no answer. - Okay. Come on, let’s go in.

Sorry.

10-hour shift,

I done. My pins are bloody killing me.

- He hasn’t given her her tablets. - Jeepers creepers.

What’s he like, man?

Right, I’ll see if they’re at the curry house.

If they are, tell them to get me a bhaji.

All right.

You know that woman,

I hate her daughter, right, well, she turned up today,

she called three houses,

- three bongos... - Hiya,

I was wondering, have you had an order placed for Dilwyn or Trina?

No worries. Thanks.

They’re not there.

Well, this is your father we’re talking about.

One guess where he’ll be.

Yeah.

Watch out, it’s the old bill.

Well, as I live and breathe.

Is this a mirage I see before me?

All right, Cliff, I haven’t seen you since you were stood on this bar jiggling your tits.

Hey, these aren’t tits, they’re love handles.

- All right, call them what you like. - This is never little Beth?

Yeah, that’s my girl!

Doing her GCSEs soon. You going to uni, aren’t you?

Yeah. Has my dad been in today?

No. My takings are down.

Elaine!

You haven’t seen Dilly Gwyndaff, have you?

Today, no, our takings are down.

That’s what I just said!

Well, does he drink anywhere else? Do you know?

No, we’re the only ones stupid enough to have him in.

Last week, I caught him out the back pissing on my flower bed.

The little sod. Anyone would think I dragged him up.

Nan, come on.

- Laters. - Ta, now.

- Ta! - What was that?

What?

I’m going to call the police.

Hang a bang, let’s not jump the gun.

Yeah, well, Nan, he’s a liability,

- I don’t trust him at all. - Yeah, but don’t call the police!

- They’ll lock him up! - Yeah, well,

- he deserves it. - Come off it now.

No.

- We don’t know what’s happened! - I do, I...

This is nice, Dil.

I like the sea.

- No, thanks. - What’s the matter?

I’m not allowed on my pills.

Well, chuck your pills, then, they’re monging you out.

Trust me, I think you just need a holiday.

Just you and me for a bit? What are you so scared about?

What about Beth?

My mother can watch her.

Come on, Trin.

Have a drink, don’t leave me drinking on my own.

Come on.

There we go.

Good girl.

Nice, isn’t it?

There’s a nice caravan park not far from here.

I’ll go rent us one for the night, yeah.

I don’t want to.

Trin, I’m trying to be nice. I’m trying to do something nice for you.

I’ll go home now. I want to see Beth.

No, no.

You’re going to hurt yourself. Right.

We’re having a few nights away, me and you, all right?

Another time, Dil, not now.

I want to go and see Beth, she’s at school.

Do you love me?

I said, do you love me?

Please, Dil. Not like this.

Come with me now,

or we’re done, hear me?

Is that what you want?

Yeah, it is.

Yeah.

Fucking shit.

I told you before.

The only way you’ll leave me is in a body bag,

- do you understand? - No.

Let me give you a very simple choice

that maybe even a mad bitch like you can follow.

One,

come with me now, we’ll have a nice holiday,

we can sort this out?

Or two.

I’ll drive us off this cliff.

Up to you.

Choose.

Have you tried calling them?

- Well, we’re not thick, are we? - Nan.

They left their phones at home.

We know he’s done something.

- We don’t know. - I do.

I reckon he’s run out of petrol,

or he’s lost track of time or something.

You’ll have to call the police and ask them to bring her in.

Look, I just said this to her, we don’t need to involve

the police, it’s just bringing trouble to our door.

Sorry, Trina’s on the Section 17,

if she goes AWOL, I have to call the police.

It’s not a choice.

Go on, then.

Are you coming with me?

- Answer me! - Please, Dil!

- Let me out! - Answer me, or I’ll drive us straight off!

- Watch me! - Get off!

Sit down.

Sit down!

Do you see this?

Consequences.

- No! No! - Consequences for your actions!

This is what you want, yeah?

No, Dil! Please!

This is what you asked for!

No, wait! No!

You fucking broke my nose!

Fuck! Fucking...!

Where are you...?

Thought you was going to top yourself!

I wouldn’t give you the satisfaction.

Oh, God, Beth. Where the hell are they?

Nan.

It’s all right. It’s going to be all right.

Any news?

The police just called.

They’ve picked up a woman giving Trina’s name.

And you can tell your friends they’re with you

He’ll have to go.

- No. - Checking in.

Okay.

- Can I get the crisis team, please? - Mum?

Mum?

Mum?

- You okay? - Yeah, I’m fantastic! Yeah!

Just tried to drive us off a cliff.

What?

Just tried to kill us both, yeah.

Tried to kill us both,

but I made him think he can’t touch me.

- He knows that now. - Yeah.

I’ve got angels. Angels watching me.

It’s good.

I’m on telly with the Queen tomorrow.

Okay.

Going to be on telly with the Queen tomorrow.

- Send her my love. - I will, you daft bastard.

Why aren’t you complimenting me?

- What do you want me to say, Trin? - “Thank you very much.”

Thank you very much.

Okay, Trina, why don’t you come with us?

Do you know who I am?

- I would like an en-suite this time. - We are going to look up... Yes!

All right. Come on, then.

Let’s go, Trina.

“Let’s go, Trina. Let’s go, Trina.”

I’ve got Trina Gwyndaff.

She was getting better.

She was so good today, Nan.

Go on, go home.

- No, I’ll wait with you. - No, go on.

Go home, run a bath, go to bed.

She must have been so scared.

I know.

God. I hate him.

I wish he was dead.

Don’t say that, he’s your father.

Just tried to drive my mother off a cliff.

He wouldn’t have gone through with it.

Fuck.

Right.

Just...

text when you get in, Nan.

Great.

If you ever touch my mother again...

I’ll kill you.

Yeah?

Do you want to try?

I promise you,

I will kill you.

Okay.

- Hey. - Hey!

Oh my God. My mother just made me watch Turin Horse with her.

Have you seen it?

- Can we meet? - Now?

Yeah, at the park.

All right, yeah.

- By the benches in 15? - Cool.

Bye.

What have you been doing?

Dogging?

You all right?

Oh my God. Seriously, The Turin Horse, right?

It’s two and a half motherfucking hours,

and it’s black and white, which is just like...

Why? Why is it... Why?

Are you okay?

I don’t know.

What’s wrong?

Poppy.

I’ve just been with Jamie.

Yeah?

And?

Well, I had to tell him about earlier.

He was really angry.

Wait, why did you have to tell him?

Because he asked me out, like,

officially, and I said yeah, so...

he deserves to know.

- I thought you didn’t like him. - Of course I like him.

And I feel really fucked off with you, Beth.

What? Why?

You had no right kissing me,

and it just...

made me feel like, why can’t I have a friend who doesn’t fall in love with me?

I didn’t say I was in love with you.

I didn’t say that.

This has gotten weird.

How? How is it weird?

Because, Beth, I’m...

I’m not a lesbian.

Neither am I, like, I was literally having a laugh.

Why are you making such a big deal about nothing?

It’s not a big deal, we just need to stop hanging out.

Okay.

Well, like, for how long?

I don’t know, a while.

Well, until you can figure out if you can think of me as just a friend.

God, I do, I do.

I do think of you as just a friend.

Seriously.

Honestly, right. I was literally having a laugh,

I’m not trying to, like, marry you or anything, Poppy.

- Look, I can go and tell Jamie... - Beth, I’m about to have the biggest

opportunity of my life being head girl, and I...

To be honest, I can’t have people like you distracting me.

But I can still help you write your speech, Poppy. I’ll...

We can write jokes and... it’ll be the best speech ever.

You’re acting like a stalker, Beth, seriously.

Look, I’d better go.

I left Jamie across the park.

Jamie’s here?

Yeah.

What is this?

Like an ambush or something?

I told you I was with him, I’m not trying to be a bitch.

I just want to do what’s best for you.

Take care, okay?

Hey, it’s Pops. Leave me a message.

- Love ya. - No.

Answer the phone.

Hey, it’s Pops. Leave me a mes--

Fuck!

I genuinely don’t know what to do. I think she’s stalking me or something.

Beth, I’m about to have the biggest opportunity of my life

being head girl. And to be honest, I can’t have

people like you distracting me.

Fuck this.

Miss, I want to run for head girl.
