Electric run out again?

Whoa, whoa! Not bad for deadbeats and dropouts, eh?

I got the note.

Who knows what it is?

It's... It's a squirrel!

DARCY LAUGHS

LAUGHTER CONTINUES

Wake up in the morning We rise

When early bird calling We rise

When we get up in our feelings

Do what the Phoenix do

So of course We rise

When we've got to get to class We rise

When we're stuck under the ash We rise

All my friends gonna see this through

Cos we just do what the Phoenix do We rise.

We should give it a proper burial.

Don't be scared.

I've seen a dead squirrel before.

Is it definitely dead?

Try giving it mouth to mouth.

Get a life, Darcy.

I've got one, mate. Unlike Sally.

Who's Sally? The squirrel.

Come on! School time, people.

Let's go!

And don't forget about harvest day.

More charity stuff?

Helping people in need again, yes.

DARCY GROANS

I've got no credit on my phone.

We've got to be smart with our cash, Ri.

When was the last time you spoke to Dad?

Er...

The other day.

Billy?

Yeah.

What really happens?

You know, like, when you die?

Good people go to a good place.

Like Mum.

But what if Dad's lying on the side of the road, too,

and no-one knows?

He's fine, Ri.

Trust me.

Look, I'll buy you a magazine tonight.

Same one that Dad usually gets you.

Really?

You deserve it.

For lunch.

I know. I'll get some shopping, too.

Thanks.

What, too soon? BABY CRYING

Get Ri's face out of that!

It looks like she's seen a ghost.

Why have you ever done that, you weirdo?

Watch it. What's going on?

Hand it over.

BABY CRYING

Is that really a kind thing to do?

It's kind of funny.

Delete it. Easy, Billy.

Why are you having a go at me for?

Cos there's no need to amp up the situation.

But he shouldn't have... Billy, mate!

Whatever!

What was all that about? Get off my back.

My office. Now.

This silence is going to get really boring really quick.

You know I'm here to help.

I don't need it.

Thanks.

Fine.

After school, in the sports hall. What?

No, sir. Why?

Just be there.

And if you're not, I'll be calling home.

All right.

KNOCKING

Sir, can I talk to you?

Sure.

I can always rely on you for an uplifting,

positive chat.

What would you like to talk about?

Death.

Lovely weather so far.

I don't know how long it will last, but I'm not afraid of storms.

For I'm learning how to sail my ship.

That's great. Let's stop there.

Thoughts, anyone?

Rani?

I think, er...

I didn't know women could be sailors back then.

It's a good point, Nathan.

Women on ships were considered bad luck.

But she's talking about sailing the ship of life.

Not a real ship.

She's saying growth can be gained

through experiencing difficult times.

It's about finding strength within adversity.

BELL RINGS Er, sit!

Homework!

Tomorrow, everyone will speak.

Tell us about a time when you have overcome adversity

in your own life.

Off you go.

Thanks, Rani. You read well today.

You know, it's fine telling someone else's tale.

But do you know when a story becomes more than just a story?

Er, no.

When you find the meaning behind it.

How it relates to you

and your world.

Your life.

Go on. Off you go.

Rani?

You don't talk much, do you?

But...your face says a lot.

See?

Good chat.

Darcy.

What was all that with you and Billy earlier?

You know what Billy-boy can be like.

Just a disagreement between mates?

Exactly.

OK.

So, er, how's Billy been recently?

Sir, you don't look like Harry Potter.

So why are you trying to turn me into a rat?

Look, I'm just asking.

We ain't besties. That doesn't mean I'm going to be out here

singing like a canary.

I'm not trying to turn you into a rat,

or a canary, or any other animal for that matter.

I just... I'm no snitch, sir.

All right, Darcy. Go on.

And I'm sure of it.

Is it cool if I come round later?

Legit! My house is your house.

Think I could stay over?

Not tonight. Nan's crashing at mine.

Oh.

OK.

Can I borrow your phone?

Mine, er, ran out of credit.

RECORDING: Sorry, the number you have dialled

has been disconnected.

RIHANNA SIGHS

You all right?

Straight to voicemail.

Voicemail's so gross.

Exactly.

I'll call later.

It's just banter.

We used to do all the time at boot camp.

And what was it like there? Oh, a nightmare.

Press-ups, sit-ups, all the ups.

Well, joyriding a quad bike, you could've killed someone.

You're lucky it weren't young offenders.

But I get it.

You guys use banter to communicate.

But maybe try different a method with Billy.

My boy can give as good as he gets.

What about his little sister? It was a joke!

You do know she lost someone?

They both did.

There's a phrase.

All for one and one for all.

Who cares if a squirrel got squished?

It's not all about you, Darcy!

Sometimes you have to think of other people's feelings.

Feelings?

Becky, I've got 99 problems, but a squirrel ain't one.

Are we done?

For now.

LAUGHTER You know the play's sold out?

Really? But...

So you think you're, like, REALLY ready for this?

Born ready, babe.

If there was, like, Oscars for school musicals,

I would SO get one.

I'd like to thank God for this gift.

My mum.

B.

Billy, of course.

Darcy!

Spoken to your parents and we're going on a little detour.

What? No.

I've served my time today. I should be free to go home. Follow me.

DARCY SIGHS

That's it, yeah. Strong. GRUNTING

Great. Good work. Good work, everyone.

It's a kata.

Helps imagine you're in combat

so you can release aggression in a controlled way.

Not this again.

I think I'd prefer detention.

MR STEWART CHUCKLES

You know, sometimes the best help comes from someone

who's travelled with the same road.

We've travelled the same road? Similar ones.

You think a black kid from East London

making it to head teacher - you think that was easy?

I-I guess not.

When I was younger,

things wound me up.

I'd lash out on anything or anyone in front of me.

You ever feel like that?

Karate helped channel my anger.

It's got to be worth a go, right?

So...

..how do you do these katas?

A food bank? Becky, my fridge is full.

Not here for a shopping trip!

You're here to help out.

What have I done? This ain't fair!

It's not a punishment.

My friend said you could help out for an hour.

I thought you said this weren't a punishment.

Be good for you!

Walk in someone else's shoes for once.

Why would I want to do that when I've got these creps?

Not bad for someone totally uninterested.

Hey?

How about we try some kicks? Yeah? You ready?

Mr Stewart, one of the parents from 7B is here to see you.

Yeah, just give me a few minutes, please.

I've got to be going, sir. Billy, wait.

It's urgent.

Er, we're going to have to wrap it up.

You're going to speak to the parents looking like that?

There are 1,000 students at Phoenix Rise, Mr Stewart.

You're here for the many, not just the few.

It's not just the homeless that come here.

I mean, people with full-time jobs come here, too.

What? Some people with jobs still don't earn enough money

to buy food and stuff?

Well, rent, bills, food - it all adds up.

That's nuts.

Right, so, can you make a start on sorting through those donations?

All right. Thanks.

You'll never guess what.

Leila reckons she's going to win an award for her performance.

Well, she is the lead.

Which would be fine if it was a play.

But it's a musical.

And she can't sing.

Well, maybe she just needs to rehearse more.

There aren't enough hours left.

I feel terrible saying that.

But...

What?

Leila's my best mate.

I don't want her to embarrass herself.

Maybe, if someone else came forward,

someone with an amazing voice who Sam couldn't say no to...

Someone like that girl in that video.

What girl?

The girl with the fox filter.

Oh, that girl.

Right.

I was in the toilets the other week and I heard the same girl singing.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Come on, Rani.

I know it's you.

What? Me? It's not...me.

I saw you.

You're so good. I just...

I think, if you audition, then... No, I can't.

Please, Rihanna, you can't tell anybody.

Do you understand?

OK.

OK, my lips are sealed.

I heard you give out food.

Do you have your voucher?

What voucher?

Well, we can't give you anything without one.

Have you had a referral?

From who?

Your doctor, social services...? Please!

I just need some food!

I am so sorry.

But if we don't follow the rules, then they might shut us down.

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault.

Here.

This explains about the referrals.

Please talk to your parents, or even your school.

I mean, we're here to help.

Here.

Take this to tide you over.

Thank you.

OUT OF TUNE: And we're sure of it

We will fight till we're given much more than this.

Now I know how Taylor Swift and Beyonce feel.

You promised.

I-I can't seem to find my wallet.

And the cat ate my homework.

Don't you mean dog?

Please. I promised my little sister.

Put the magazine back, Billy.

Come on, Mr Somarski.

I'll do the paper round for two weeks.

That's more than what the magazine's worth.

No, I already got someone.

Hey, I'll get this.

Miss Jenny. No, please!

Thank you.

So, did you learn anything?

Let me just say thanks and then I'll walk you home.

Please, I just need some food!

Yeah, let's get it

Another day, another hustle

Staying active 365

Only thing dem know is struggle

Doing what I got to do to survive

Another day, another hustle

Staying active 365

Only thing dem know is struggle.

Morning. I've been thinking.

Can we ditch school today?

Have some mother and daughter time?

What's wrong?

Ms Benson.

She's making everyone stand up and talk about stuff.

Don't be afraid, especially of other people's thoughts.

You've never been afraid?

Once, back in Iraq.

I was afraid of bringing you into an environment of war.

How'd you get over that fear?

Oh, well, you know my story.

I know the story.

How did you find the courage to do it?

I can't tell you how.

I just knew in that moment what I had to do.

I wish it was something I could teach you.

But finding that courage is something you have to do.

I can never be as brave as you.

You're my daughter.

Everything you need is inside here.

I'm starving.

You reckon Bill wants one of those?

You want anything?

No, I can't decide.

I'm going to buy him one.

Two of those, please.

I deleted the squirrel meme.

Why? Can't a guy just do a good thing?

So, tell me about helping out at the foodbank yesterday.

So proud of you.

It was nothing.

Aren't you hungry, Billy? No.

Just have some. No, I'm good.

Look, Bill, you can just save some for later

if you don't want it now. No, I'm good.

Nothing? Come on, Darcy.

Look, Summer, it wasn't.

Can I have that? It's got bacon in it, mate.

And I said I'm good.

Bill, if you don't want it now, you can just save it for later.

It'll be cold later. I always eat my food cold.

It tastes back that way. Bill, you can...

I said I'm not hungry.

There's no need for that!

What is his problem?

I was struggling to get onto the A-squad for gymnastics

so my dad hired a coach,

and within a week I could do a double pike.

Thank you, Stacey.

SCATTERED APPLAUSE

Rani.

Rani?

Are you with us, Rani?

You're up.

Is it definitely my turn, Miss?

Afraid so.

DEEP BREATH

I wish my mum had listened to me this morning.

I said I didn't want to come into school today.

But she didn't. My mum, she...

She knows all about overcoming adversity.

She was a teacher. She...

..adored her job, even though it was risky.

Schools were under constant attack.

Mum loved Iraq.

She was determined to stay. It was home.

And then, when they announced the troops were leaving,

things got bad.

They started forcing teachers to preach their hate.

But all my mum knew was love, and she said no.

That's when the threats came.

She and my dad had to start hiding at neighbours' houses.

They hid far enough away to be safe, but it was...

..still close enough to see the flames of the house on fire.

It broke her heart to leave.

She wanted to stay and fight, but...

..then she found out she was...

RANI SNIFFS

She was pregnant...

..with me.

And that's when she knew what she really had to fight for.

My future.

I'm always scared.

I think this stuff all the time.

Was the right thing to say?

What will people think? Are they going to laugh,

call me stupid?

Am I any good at anything?

And it's a lot. So rather than speak,

I kept quiet.

That's the easy thing to do, right?

It's actually the hardest thing to do.

But if my mum can be brave, then why can't I?

So...

..maybe I won't be so quiet any more.

CHEERING

We...

I am gathered here today.

Hey.

Should I say a few words, then?

That's not the real...Sally?

Oh, no, that's off the internet.

We're all here today for...Sally.

Sally was...

..a squirrel, wasn't she?

It's not like I knew her.

To be honest, most squirrels look alike,

so I might've seen her before.

Ahem, anyway, we don't know what Sally did every day in her life.

We do.

Most squirrels generally gather food all day

and then sleep at night.

And wind up dogs.

Right, so we know a few things.

But we know her death weren't for nothing.

She brought us all here.

Together.

Sally made us realise things.

It's like that saying.

All for one and, er, one for all.

Sometimes we've just got to squash the beef...

..come together...

..and have each other's backs.

Even if that means going against everything you stand for.

What are you doing in here?

I'm not a rat or a snitch. OK.

Sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do

for the greater good.

Right.

I-I need to tell you something...

..about Billy.

Sometimes I just need to be on my own.

I need you to tell me what's going on at home, Billy.

What have you told him, Ri?

We're on our own. Always have been.

Right, there's no Boiler Room without Billy.

So let's bring him home.

Wake up in the morning We rise

When the early bird calling Yeah, we rise

When we get up in our feelings

Do what the Phoenix do

So of course We rise

When we've go to get to class We rise

When we're stuck under the ash We rise

All my friend's going to see this through

Cos we just do what the Phoenix do We rise.
