Original subtitles

You're

a shoe in some machine.

Will you not supervise it?

No. there is just an incident.

You didn't let you don't even care.

I didn't imagine a friendship.

So what?

Sorry. sorry.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

So what happened?

Do you not think you'd be better off in a

different class or a different school or something?

We can't be here discussing this earlier.

I'm sorry. but handling the behaviour of difficult children is part of the future.

I just think if I had someone to help with it... How am I going to pay for that?

How?

This is your last chance.

You're not going to tell me anything else.

So. today we were supposed to be talking about our side of the visit that we went

on yesterday and maybe write a recount of it.

But instead I decided that we're going to switch things up a little bit.

So today we're going to dive into the world of poetry and music.

So. I am curious.

Have any of you ever come across a piece of poetry

or a piece of writing that really spoke to you guys?

Anyone?

Have any of you late?

I was just telling everyone that we're going

to have a talk about poetry and music today.

Right. okay.

So. this particular piece of writing on the board

is one that's always really resonated with me.

And it's by a musician called Ricky Lee Jones.

And it's called On Saturday Afternoons in 1963.

So. I hope that you can get on with that as well.

Everyone look at me.

So. let's look at the first paragraph.

The most. as you'll ever go. is back where you used to know.

The grown-ups could laugh this slow. whereas you watch the hours now.

Years may go by.

So. what does that first paragraph mean to you guys?

I miss. Charlie. look at the board.

Look at the board.

Yeah. of course.

First. like. laugh faster?

Yeah. maybe. yeah.

But what do you think she means by that?

Danny's wearing a mask off on his desk.

Sure.

All right. Danny.

Danny. what about you?

Have you ever spent a Saturday afternoon just feeling like tying the stretcher on?

Have you ever felt that way?

Well. Ricky says that you watch the hours now.

This is such a lame song.

I hate it.

Danny. can you just pay attention. please?

Miss. you don't stand to hear that.

We're just going to move on. okay?

Let's just move on.

Miss. you see that?

Miss. this is coming up on our sats.

No. it's not.

No. it's not.

I'm sorry.

It's not coming up on our sats.

This is just something that I wanted to show you that I think is really nice.

Miss!

Danny!

Language!

I'm going to have to put you in orange. okay?

We're just going to list them to the salmons set. all right?

Why did you touch the camera so much?

Miss. my mum says you're incompetent.

I said. fuck!

Fuck!

Don't touch me!

I'm not touching you.

I fucking hate you!

I'm not going to touch you.

My shit.

Right?

See you next.

So you always want to put in my picture?

Yeah. yeah. for as long as I can remember.

And. do you. like. think that's why you are all...

um... Can you talk about this after school?

Could you do me a favour and just walk with Danny?

Okay. Danny.

It's not all right.

That's just what you're doing every big favour.

All right.

Okay.

Yeah.

Stop.

Down here.

Down here.

Hi.

Um. Miss Morgan sent me.

We need an instant report. and if you could document the answer.

You need to come and get yourself some.

Yes. I was going to.

It's just...

Kay. you know. there's not a lot of space right now. so if it's the right to just

keep it at the house for a bit. that would be great.

Okay.

You're right.

By the way.

What do you think?

Sorry.

Yeah.

Bye.

What was that?

Um.

Austin inspection.

No.

Tomorrow.

No.

Okay. just call Miss Morgan.

Can you call him?

Josh Carter.

Yeah.

Because we need to keep Danny far away from here tomorrow.

Yeah. I know. but we haven't been able to get in touch with Josh. have we?

Yeah?

Yeah.

If. uh. Miss Spencer. Danny's teacher.

I tried calling you earlier about an instant app that was built today.

You're not following yourself.

Sorry.

Right.

Okay.

Um. well. I just wanted to let you know...

Okay.

You can push the girl down the stairs.

Yeah.

No. he just. he's racist. you know.

It's just that.

What's to do with him?

It's just the way he is.

Only now he's got a big eye.

I can't cope with him. Miss.

I can't cope.

I know.

That's why I thought it was important for you

and I actually connected with this. right?

Yeah.

I really need to get back to work on this.

I'm sorry.

I've got nothing to say.

I need to sign it again.

Right.

Okay.

About tomorrow. we've had no other option.

Good day.

Yes.

Sorry. we've also been losing the accident.

We've fallen to touch. babe.

Everything's going to be fine.

We're here now.

It was an accident.

Okay.

You fucking strangled me. Miss.

You got on top of me.

You've suffocated me.

You couldn't kill me.

I'm going to tell the police.

I'm going to tell everyone.

You attacked me.

You attacked me. Miss.

You're mental.

You saved me.

We need the first sign I cast.

You can put a message if you want.

Like. get a letter for me or friends for life or something.

Well. say something. Miss.

Well. say something. Miss.

Open up your books.

And for our current page...

Oh my god. it's page 48. Miss.

Yes. I'm Paris.

Page 48.

What is repetition?

Say again. Miss.

What is repetition?

That's very good.

That's very funny.

Right. so we spoke about different ways that we can...

that we can make our writing more interesting.

Where's Danny?

He got suspended.

Yeah. yeah.

Yeah. that's right.

Get your exercise books.

Relative cause.

Any ideas?

Miss. I know the answer.

You do?

Yes. Miss.

It means peace.

You do this.

I have no idea you're so good at drawing.

Let's say. let's say. let's say. should we... sing the school song. maybe?

You're so good at it. I think we should give it a go.

Ready?

We are the children of Washington Brock School Club.

We take our pride in...

Danny. I made you some dinner. because I thought you might be hungry.

It's pesto pasta.

I'll only bring you some if you promise no more fighting. okay?

Can you just show it so I know you're not near the door?

Okay.

There's more if you want seconds.

I won't go home.

Yeah. no. of course.

Soon. okay?

Oh. yeah.

Of course.

I think

this will cheer you up.

So. I've got college uni. I've got a farming

simulator. and this is the full following.

There you go.

Yeah. cool. my dad.

I did. yeah. but he didn't answer. so...

I think it's best for you to stay here tonight.

What's the Wi-Fi?

Oh. I haven't had the internet set up yet. sorry.

That's for your ones and twos. over there.

I hope you don't mind.

I'll get you something better than that.

Right. okay.

You're fine. yeah?

Yeah. okay.

Okay.

I

couldn't say. really.

Four boys complaints. three police warnings. and a five.

What about his dad. Josh?

You know. Josh was trying his best.

Yeah. as you may already know. Josh waited

almost 24 hours before reporting Danny missing.

Maria. I appreciate your trying not to upset anyone.

but we'll keep asking questions until we find him.

So please be honest.

Yeah.

Josh was usually quite late picking up Danny from school.

There's no easy way to say this.

Danny has been reported missing.

I don't know where he is.

If he's gone forever. of course not.

He's just run off his mental course.

What?

He is still missing?

Probably just in the woods eating rats or something.

Does anyone have anything that they'd like to share?

Does anyone feel sad or anxious?

Okay. if you are.

No?

Alright.

Get your box out.

Yes.

I was just wondering if tomorrow. in my history lesson. if I could bring a

keyboard from home and sing a song that they've written. it's about D-Day.

Okay.

I don't think that's a great idea for right now. but maybe another time.

Okay?

Anything else you wanted?

Delivery?

Oh. it's here.

God. I didn't...

I didn't think it'd be working.

Well. I do.

We're not.

You should have been there for it.

It's not my fault.

It's not your fault.

It's not my fault.

It's not.

I'm sure he's okay.

And I'm sure he'll come back.

Yeah.

Oh. yeah.

I'm sorry.

Let's get fucked up.

Do you want to roll through?

Grace. okay. I know that this isn't like normal.

but this way I don't have to worry about you.

So I did think that we could use the time to catch up on some of your schoolwork.

You're serious?

Yeah. come on.

So we wrote stories today and you were going to write one as well. okay?

It's that bright story that's just lies there.

Do you want me to get you a different pencil?

Yeah.

Okay. right once upon a time. okay?

What's wrong?

Current?

Current. do it.

What do you mean?

You can write.

I think it was a paper to do it for me.

I didn't. I didn't know this.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Okay. that's okay.

We'll work on it together.

And I'll come up with a plan and it'll be fine. okay?

So let's start with this.

See how we go. okay?

A is for apple.

B is for boy.

C is for clothes.

D is for democracy.

For

extraordinary people.

Ladies and gentlemen. I'm telling you all my father not sorry told me.

For first and foremost. it's not the man by the fire.

And I'm ready to fight with him.

The dearest step of them. pushing a soft change on them. I will be as closer as of

his head was raised just now to see the fire.

In the starry. starry sky.

And next comes I.

The investigations continue into the disappearance of Danny Carter.

Last seen. nearly six weeks ago.

The off-stage inspection came in.

Good with outstanding features.

And you were singled out for praise.

Really?

So thank you.

Maria. I was... I was wrong about you.

I saved this for you.

It's very nice.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And I will have with you what I'm giving you some more. please.

Thank you.

Good.

I like this new Maria Spencer.

What's that supposed to mean?

I don't know.

You just seem to be coming out of the show.

Look. it's nice.

It's nice and you look well.

You're good.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Thanks.

That's nice.

Good.

Outstanding features.

I'm dead.

Please. laugh.

I will not.

That's why you didn't write football.

Who says?

You shit.

You just running around in me.

I'm shit.

Is that your offense?

It's not for you. is it?

Yeah. I don't be your ass tonight.

Better than you are.

I'm still better than you.

I'm not playing this all day. is it?

You're not better than me.

I hope not.

Go on.

That is enough of that.

Lovely.

Shoot!

Come on!

Oh. my God.

No.

Oh. I've done it.

I've done it.

No.

Go on!

Oh. my God.

You hit it.

You hit it.

You hit it.

It was still good.

I think that.

I think that.

I think it was amazing.

Oh. my God.

Even having the controls at all. it never made me lose.

I'm good.

Oh. put it back.

Oh. fuck.

I'm good.

Oh!

Oh.

Absolutely rubbish that.

Come on.

Come on.

Miss?

Hi. Miss.

Hiya. Pauline.

What are you doing at my house?

Why do you have time?

What. what do you mean?

I heard you and him talking.

No.

Johnny's gone missing. remember?

But I heard him.

What. like in your hand?

No. I heard him shouting. go!

It's okay.

He can't tell me.

There's no one here. Pauline.

He looks scared.

Pauline. Daddy's gone missing.

No. he's not.

He's here.

He's not here.

He's here.

Help me.

Daddy?

Pauline?

Please. help.

Please. help. help me.

Help me. please.

It really isn't what it looks like. okay?

Okay.

Please. look at me. Pauline.

I'm just teaching him for a little bit.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Right. so we'll just... We'll make our secret. yeah?

Is

this where you live?

Yeah.

It's magnificent.

I like your books.

Oh. do you?

Thank you.

Do you have a lot of books at home. then?

No.

My dad doesn't even write them.

Oh.

He says more than a thousand.

Actually. I think you have a book that you'd love.

Oh. Pauline.

Pauline. I'm pregnant.

You have so many nice things.

You like that dress?

Yeah. because if you want it. you can have it.

Really. it's yours to take it.

Really?

Yeah. yeah.

Mm-hmm.

You look really nice.

Have a walk.

What's she?

She goes off?

Yeah.

Here. excuse me.

If you don't mind me asking.

What's she like in class?

Because she's fucking weird or... She's great.

Yeah.

Yeah. but you know what?

Don't you?

No.

What do you care about down in this room?

Is she going to end up in all this whimsy talk?

I wish she does. my lord.

I mean. she's a kid. so she'll probably just grow out of it.

Will she?

One time I was early. so he said. at four a.m.

in the morning. he'll knock it out of the barns.

But he can fix it.

Then pigs. they could be fucking vicious.

I'm going to head off. okay?

Yeah. all right.

I've got your fish and chips.

I don't want any fish and chips!

You be good. okay?

I don't want fish and chips!

I don't want any!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

That's not true.

That is not true.

Lots of people care about me.

Come here.

Come here.

That's okay.

You have to help me.

No. that's not true.

I care about you.

It's okay.

I'm sorry.

Good night. big one.

You said what I was looking for.

No. it wasn't mine.

Yes. he's looking for you every day.

I promise.

What is it that you was looking for?

I... I heard...

that you used to struggle with solutions.

Bunny!

Don't say you're shagging.

It's inappropriate.

No. I moved here to be with him.

And we bought this house.

And we were going to do it all.

Thank you.

Lovely.

I was very excited about it.

Then he left me for someone else.

So that's...

why I'm here alone.

Whoa. what was that?

I want to stop.

Yeah.

You're going to take that.

Thanks. honey.

This gave it to me.

Why?

I can't know if I'm the favourite.

Okay. everyone. let's get started. yeah?

Yes.

Yes. Polly.

I've done the drawing.

Okay. we'll look at it later. yeah?

That's lovely.

Go sit down.

Go sit down.

It's a program.

I'll see you tomorrow. okay?

My daddy must get lonely.

I can't be teacher.

Okay. so we've been working on jaw boards. Polly. and just affiliate. okay?

Where?

Okay. so what do you want to be when you grow up?

I'm going to be someone famous.

Okay. I was asking daddy.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Come on. there must be something that you're into.

What's that name?

Sport.

So I would say athlete then.

Would you?

Mm-hmm.

Okay. so let's write that down.

A.

What's the next letter?

F.

T.

H.

Which one?

Donnie.

Donnie. come back.

Donnie. you were doing so well.

Anyway. it's A-T-H-L-E-T-E.

Okay.

Why is she not a beautiful girl?

She's doing a project.

She's doing a drama project.

And she wants to remain in character. if you don't mind?

Yeah. I do. actually.

Because when you're at home. it's about beautiful. don't you?

I just think it's like. you know. we need to be encouraged in imagination.

Like. she could be the next Meryl Streep. but I wouldn't know.

Or the next A-T-H-L-E-T-E.

I wouldn't know.

Why?

I wouldn't know.

Why?

No. the project stops.

It stops now.

Okay. but I just think... No.

Stop.

It stops.

Oh. my God.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry. take it.

Oh. I've seen one of your students who just got me lost.

I'll be there now.

That's where your house is.

Come here. here.

I just see you there. bro.

Oh.

Oh. okay.

Yes.

Hi.

She's came knocking at my door. and she's been telling me all about your basement.

Oh. yeah. yeah.

We do casual lessons.

Yeah. it's actually time for one right now.

I was just calling.

Ow!

Pauline. I didn't invite you to my house tonight.

Sorry?

So. you can't just be here.

You need to start hanging out with people your own age.

Okay?

I have to get back to the school.

The parents meet.

Okay?

I need to go.

Fine.

That's my age.

Pauline.

Not tonight.

Please. anything will happen.

I don't think I'm getting Pauline.

Oh. my God.

Truth or death.

Pauline.

Me first.

Move out of my fucking way!

Fucking move!

So. what's this. Spencer?

My parents. I was in the student council. had the whole fun to myself for Pauline.

You need to go home.

And I fell into a hole.

But it was more of a cesspool. really.

And after I passed the point of uncle. I saw something.

Pauline.

You need to go.

I want to stay over.

No. you're not staying over.

No. you can't.

We never discussed that.

And your parents are going to be worried about you.

I want that.

No way.

No way.

I want it.

Or I'm telling everybody what you did.

Fine.

No.

What are you doing?

Miss!

Stop.

Put it down.

Why are you laughing?

Stop!

I'm going to tell my miss that even when I'm not here. you can speak all the time.

You fucking idiot.

She's not your friend. Danny.

Stop.

You know what?

No one cares. you listen.

No one's even asking about you anymore.

Everyone thinks you're dead.

Actually. everyone's much happier now.

Even your dad.

It's true. isn't it. Miss?

Miss?

Pack a bag.

Pack everything.

Pack everything.

Pack everything.

Pack everything.

I didn't hear it tonight before. Paulie.

We need to come up with a story if I give them. I

don't know. hiding in the woods or something like that.

And hones need the other state to it. okay?

Because otherwise. I can't let you go.

Hiya.

Yeah. I'm on my way.

Yeah. I'll do that.

Okay.

You're really letting me go.

Miss Spencer. thank you for joining us.

Right.

We're all aware of the tragic circumstances after which I was talking

about this in this operation right now. so I think I should start by telling you

that in the last hour. I've had a phone call from the police and Josh Carter has

been arrested in connection with the disciplines.

Apparently. he. his co-operating. came willingly.

So now we can only hope that Daniel is found safe and well.

Because we're here. do you talk about your attention?

And later on. I have a special thing to discuss.

Just

focus on the downtown visitor.

Mr. do you want to talk a little bit more?

I want to sing a song this.

It's not that kind of music.

Miss Spencer. they could.

Didn't you?

I forgot.

It's the project that I was telling you about that Olly wants to show you.

Well. that would be lovely. but it wouldn't be appropriate.

Well. go on. perhaps. because it's you.

Come on. let's sing.

Yeah. let's sing.

Fine.

Of course.

Olly.

I need a keyboard.

We are children of last-in-brook school.

We take pride in the things we do.

Learning together and having fun is for a good day. everyone.

We are children of last-in-brook school.

We take pride in the things we do.

Learning together and having fun is for a good day. everyone.

Thank you.

Everyone especially. everybody has kids. so we're

going to work together or we're going to work together.

We are children of last-in-brook school.

We take pride in the things we do.

Learning together and having fun is for a good day. everyone.

I'm not finished.

Thank you.

I'm not finished.

It's for Danny.

Please.

It's for Danny.

Everyone at this school

But they're wrong That's why I wrote this song

This place is vast The teachers make me sad

Mis-better But now I know You're just a demon

I'm sorry. but that's... that's crazy.

Wait. wait a minute.

Polly. what are you saying?

Are you saying that Danny's in Maria's basement?

Yes.

Polly. this is really important.

Where did you see Danny?

I went to Maria's house and he was there in the basement.

He has a vent with lots of drawers and in a faithful chair.

Oh. come off me!

Josh did it!

Just do it!

Miss Spencer's house.

I'm going to her home.

But where was this?

On Wednesday.

On Wednesday.

It's true.

Okay. Polly. maybe we should talk about this on Monday.

Mr. Moon. if you wouldn't mind just taking us home.

Yeah. absolutely.

Come on. Polly. okay?

If they come alive. you can go to their house.

I suppose it can.

No. it's a business site right now.

You can't go.

Uh. okay.

You haven't had any builders yet.

We live on the same street.

Moon. are you still alive?

No.

So. what are you hiding?

A little boy.

He's hiding a little boy.

Wait.

Just a little bit.

You know you have him.

I didn't mean to do it.

I told you. Sylvia. that he was out of control.

I told you that.

And he was attacking my car.

And I was trying to stop him.

Right?

And then I panicked because he passed out.

And then he threatened to tell everyone that I had attacked him.

And I hadn't.

And so then he ran into my basement.

And I locked the door.

And he's still in there.

No.

But he's fine.

Shut the fuck up!

He's fine.

He is fine.

And he's thriving.

And so are all of your kids now since he's gone.

Because they've come to be the teacher that they need me to be.

Like. Clea. for example.

She's this incredible artist.

Did you know that?

She sees the world in the most beautiful. unusual way.

And I never would have known before.

And Charlie...

Charlie is like a maths genius.

I've never seen anything like it before.

And I never had the chance to actually connect with the kids.

I'm so tired.

I'm so sad.

I'm so sad.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I'm

calling the police.

Wait.

Wait!

As head of the PTA. I think that everything... every decision should be voted for.

There is no discussion.

What he's saying is. it's Danny's fault in the first place. isn't it?

He's a traumatiser.

Danny. a traumatiser.

Sweetheart stress.

Because what Miss Spencer did is what we all should do. isn't it?

You know. down at the farm. you separate the week from the

strong. the week from the job. you make the living out of it.

I think what Frank is feeling is. I'm just... He broke her arm.

He's not just about to feel it.

It's fucking dangerous.

Frank. I feel you've been paid.

And what about our kids?

Leah has been flying since she's not been picked on.

We keep the lid on this.

I think what you want to say is. let's sit at the heart of the shoot.

It's going to slip.

It's not going to slip.

It's not going to slip.

It's not going to slip.

No. no. no. no.

Miss Spencer has been brilliant.

If she goes. they will end up at an uncle.

Frank said he spoke.

Their lives will be paid.

Oh. God.

Shit.

No. no. no.

I'm all right.

Nobody leaves.

Everyone stays put.

All right?

Where's Miss Spencer?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I guess...

There's a covenant.

Okay.

You're all right.

Love this place.

It's like a little Mediterranean oasis.

It's a little... Peace is very good for you.

You're going to hug yourself into mine.

No. no. no. no.

Listen.

Miss Morgan's resigned.

Yeah?

It's just... Up to the left.

I guess she wanted a better work life balance.

Which makes me the new actor in there.

If you can believe it.

And... As the head. I feel like... I need to respect the wishes of the pair of them.

And... They all agreed not to make it into a whole thing.

So I'm just saying. maybe... You should...

Stop.

No.

Listen.

The board likes you.

Parents like you.

We can make this school a better place.

We can give these kids a future.

And I want you to be my deputy.

It's going to be all right.

Oh. there you are.

See. I packed my bag.

And I'm ready to go to my car too.

What?

No. no. no.

We go on here.

To

be Carter's scholarship. in honour of Danny. a belonging

student who used disappearance has deeply affected us all.

And I'm so pleased that Josh Carter. Danny's father can be here with us today.

And so I'm glad that the police were right in the end.

This is a scholarship that I think embodies the

boundless generosity of our West Country community.

It's allowing us to recognise and reward students who share Danny's remarkable

kindness and eagerness for learning all uplifted by the

gracious support of Franklin. the Bishop and his life.

I'd

like to extend a special thanks. actually. to our Deputy Head. Maria Spencer.

This is for Danny.
