CAULFIELD: A student died.
He was entrusted to us, and you failed him.
I'm so sorry about Zac.
It's not your fault, Miss.
We've a warrant to search your home. This is now a murder investigation.
Can you think of any explanation
for why Zac's phone might be under your roof?
No! What about your husband?
Why didn't you tell me you called in sick the day Zac died?
'And why are there deleted messages from Zac on your phone?'
What are you hiding from me?
Timothy Oxley, I'm arresting you
in connection with the murder of Zac Webster.
Is Dad going to prison?
Is there something you wanna tell me?
So you were telling me the truth,
then, about Zac carrying a knife on him?
CHLOE: They found it on him, right? No.
Did whoever kill him take it? Possibly.

A little bit louder next time, mate.
There's people in Salford who didn't hear it.
Come on. Up and at 'em. DOG BARKING
Can't be late today. Got a meeting with Caulfield.
You OK?
Yeah, all good.
You sure? Yeah.
Well, you won't be needing this, then.
Cheer you up.
Nice one, Dad.
Hey, come on. Let's go.
JIMMY EXHALES
Yeah, but I've been calling all night,
and no-one's telling me what's going on.
Are you releasing my husband or not?
CALGETTI: 'As I've already told you, there'll be news when we have it.'
He's innocent. Surely you've realised that by now?
'You've made yourself clear. Goodbye.'
Hey, listen.
If anyone has anything to say about your dad, just ignore it.
No-one thinks he's guilty.
Yeah, they do.
Hey. It's gonna be OK.
So why hasn't he come home yet?
He's coming home.
Promise?
I promise.
INDISTINCT CHATTER
Try not to worry, darling, please.
BOY: What's that cheating slag doing back here?
Hi. Hiya.
Chloe?
Have you seen Sienna this morning?
You need to stop harassing her.
I'm not. She said you were.
So you have seen her, then?
Is she coming in?
She's sick.
She is, actually.
She's been sick ever since your husband was arrested.
He hasn't done anything.
Why was Zac carrying the knife? He wasn't.
And even if he was, I don't trust you or your husband.
None of us do.
Isn't your shag suspended?
It's... Leave it. Leave it. It's not worth it.
Someone knows something.
Tim needs us.
The police haven't released him yet?
He's done nothing wrong. Right? So...
he'll be home soon.
Listen, Dani, I think you'd best go. You shouldn't be seen here.
I've gotta go.
KNOCK AT DOOR
Come in.
Is now a good time? Mm-hm.
Thanks.
Thank you for agreeing to talk to me.
Erm...
Look, I've spent the last few days thinking about what I've done.
And... yeah...
I've let you down.
I have. I-I let the school down and myself. I know that.
I don't deserve your forgiveness.
But... I need to be back in the classroom.
I wanna help these kids try to... get back to some kind of normality.
What happened is a tragedy.
But you've also made it grubby.
And for that, I can't forgive you.
Yeah, I understand.
I'd suspend you if I could, but...
the investigation's ongoing,
and I've got three teachers signed off with stress
and two already suspended, so...
Oh, OK, great. Well, I'll get straight to it, then. Thank you.
This doesn't mean you're in the clear.
Not by a long shot.
Yeah, understood.
Er, is Matthew joining us today?
Yeah.
His form tutor said that he could do with some time off?
We're not ones for wallowing, so...
He's fine, thank you. Mm.
Thanks for your time. Mm-hm.
DISTORTED VOICES
BOY: Hey, Matt.
We thought you'd like that. You all right?
BOY 2: What's up with him?
Just leave me alone.
DANI: Are you sick?
You did Zac proud last night.
Everyone's saying Mr O did it.
He didn't.
But I think you know that.
Sienna, all I'm asking you to do is think.
Did Zac mention any fights he'd had? Was he scared of anyone?
I don't wanna think about Zac any more!
You'll never STOP thinking about him.
In time, it'll be more about the good stuff,
not how he died.
Do you remember what you told me about your mum?
About how... when you see her in your dreams now,
it's her before she became an addict?
RETCHES, SPLUTTERS
Hey.
You all right?
Oh, God.
That's four minutes.
Not quite.
So, there's a chance you could be.
Are you seeing someone?
Miss.
I think...
we might need to have a chat about contraception.
I know, I know.
I'd rather have burnt myself alive
than have this chat at your age, but...
you've got your whole life in front of you, darling.
All that talent. THEY CHUCKLE
Don't waste it.

I'm...
We need to get you checked in with your GP.
No! No-one can know.
Hey, it's OK. You've got options.
I'm not getting rid of it!
It's fine. It's your choice.
Really, YOU need to decide.
Who's the dad, Sienna?
OK, forget the dad.
Is there anyone you'd like to involve?
A friend? Chloe, maybe? Matt?
No way. No.
Is there anyone you'd like to tell?
Zac.
Oh, God. If he'd known...
..it could've been different.
What could've been different?
KEY IN DOOR, DOOR OPENS
Tim?
He can't know!
SHE EXHALES HEAVILY
What's happened?
Bailed.
Pending further inquiries.
What, they still think you did it? HE SIGHS
I didn't.
I know.
Jesus, of course I know!
But why were you at the Mallory the night before?
I knew about you and Jimmy.
I've known for months.
I saw you and him having a drunken snog
at Eddie's leaving do.
DANI SIGHS HEAVILY
Hm.
I kind of hoped that it was a once-off...
but I sensed that it wasn't... because you guys are so close, so...
I went to the Mallory to see, and I saw...
Why didn't you say anything?
Cos then I'd have to do something about it.
He wanted me... and I liked it.
You haven't touched me in months.
I know that's not an excuse, but...
Why were you texting Zac?
HE SIGHS
Tim, I can't help you if you won't talk to me.
I wasn't sleeping.
After I saw what I saw...
wasn't sleeping, and, er...
what the doctor was giving me wasn't even touching the sides.
Doctor?
She wouldn't up my prescription, so...
..Zac was supplying me.
Zac sells drugs?
Not illegal ones.
Er, you know...
You know that there are kids
selling pills in school yards all around here.
All I did was catch Zac doing it.
And I know I should have reported it, but I was desperate, so...
And once I'd bought it once, I was trapped.
We arranged to meet in the park for a handover a number of times.
And what, Zac was blackmailing you?
No, he wasn't blackmailing. He was just...
kept asking for favours.
Nothing weird.
Silly stuff, you know?
Like, erm...
"Make me centre forward, Sir."
"Make me player of the season, Sir."
But all of the messages were on the phone.
And all it would take is one person to see them, to find them, so I...
took it. I took the phone.
And I know it was stupid.
Are you on pills now?
I'm weaning myself off.
And the police know? Yeah, they know.
SHE SIGHS
I was convinced you'd think I was guilty.
Don't be stupid.
I didn't think they were gonna let me go.
All I wanted to do was come back here...
..to you and Stan and...
SHE SIGHS
Hey.
Sir.
How are the kids?
Well, a few tears from the Year Sevens, but...
the older kids seem to be getting on with it, yeah.
Have any of them said anything?
Well, Tim's name keeps cropping up.
They think he could have done it? Well, it sounds like...

Shh, it's OK.

DANI SIGHS Hey.
Why don't you go up to bed?
I'm sorry...
..for neglecting you.
Don't, please.
Don't apologise.
I think I was trying to punish you.
All the time you gave to those kids, just...
..I don't know, just felt like there wasn't enough time left for me.
Silly, but...
You think you could...
forgive me... for what I did?
Yeah.
This family's all I've ever wanted,
and now I can't help but feel that I'm gonna lose it.
Hey, don't say that. Oh, no, no, no, no.
The police don't believe me, Dani. You know?
And now I can't stop thinking about all the things
that I wanted to do with...
Tim. ..you and Stan...
Tim... ..plans, holidays.
..you are not going to prison.
HE GROANS OK?
Listen, I didn't wanna say anything until I knew more,
but I think one of the students
knows more than they've told the police.
Who... Who? Let me deal with it.
You gotta go to the police. No.
It'll scare them off.
Dani... This kid...
they're delicate.
But you are not going to prison for this, I promise.
Just hang on in there, OK?
OK.
I don't deserve you.
I knew what I signed up for.
I don't wanna see you till the morning. Go to your room.
What's your problem? Get upstairs!
BREATHING SHAKILY
BOY: We're all here, if you need anything.
Yeah.
SIGHS HEAVILY
Hey.
I've just been to the house. I thought you might be here.
Yeah.
Either here or the park.
It was always one or the other I had to drag him home from.
I just wanted to check in, see how you were doing.
Is Tim still under arrest?
No. He's been bailed.
Nina, he's got nothing to do with this, you know that.
You will get answers.
The vigil was beautiful, I'm told.
It was.
Sienna read a poem she'd written for him.
Yeah, she did him proud.
I may be way off...
but was there more to Zac and Sienna's friendship?
Zac's not into girls.
He was gay? He never said. Mm.
What, is he... is he meant to make an announcement?
No, of course not, I...
It's Matt.
Matt's got a thing for Sienna.
Matt and Sienna?
BOTH SIGH
Has this got something to do with what's happened?
No.
Where are you going? Staying with Mum.
What, because you're grounded,
you're gonna go running off back to her?
I don't think so, sunshine. Give it back.
You're gonna play me and your mum off against each other? Really?
I can... I can't stay here any more.
Mate, put your bag down.
Come on.
Let's go have a talk.
Tim?
I think I'm onto something.
You're having his baby?
It's not mine. You always wanted another baby.
It's not my test. It's a student's.
I thought you were having his...
HE SIGHS
OK. Which student?
No, you've got enough on your plate.
Jesus, Dani, can't they go to somebody else for once?
We have enough of our own problems.
I just...
I need to get something straight.
Which student? The student I told you about.
I don't know how yet, but I think it's connected to Zac's death.
What, Zac's the dad?
No, I think it might be Matt Spencer.
HE SCOFFS
Of course.
Yeah, I'd have loved another baby.
We've spoken about this.
Well, I asked, you said no. It's not the same.
I would have liked more kids too, Dani.
I would. But I know your limits.
You were so intense with Stan. It wasn't healthy, that's all.
You know that. That's not fair.
My limits? SHE CHUCKLES
What are you, my carer?
HE SIGHS
You "knew what you signed up for". What the fuck did that mean before?
You wanna know why I fucked Jimmy?
Anything...
Anything not to feel like a charity case,
so grateful for being cared for by you.
We've always said that a family of our own was all we ever wanted.
Well...
it's still enough for me.
KEYS JANGLE
DOOR SHUTS
I know, but Matty, I just don't get it.
Thought we'd put all this behind us.
You don't like talking about him, so...
That's not fair.
I'm trying to keep things normal for you.
Right.
What you beating that lad up for?
He was chatting shit.
What, about you? About Zac!
Wanna talk about Zac? Don't force yourself.
Listen, I'm here, right? I'm listening.
Last time Zac was here...
we had a row, up in my room.
I've started to feel weird up there!
I can't sleep.
I'm too scared to close my eyes.
Mate...
What did you two fall out about?
HE SIGHS
Matty, come on. Hey, you're scaring me.
We-We were in my room.
Music on. We were dancing.
He... He kissed me.
I-I stopped it. But...
I don't give a shit that he's gay, he's my mate!
But it was weird.
I was happy to move on, but then he got all angry.
Nobody likes being rejected.
But he crossed a line.
He made some joke about Mum.
And it got out of hand, and then we just didn't speak.
You know, I can't even remember what we were arguing about.
He probably didn't either.
You know, it sounds to me, it sounds like feelings got hurt,
and then no-one wanted to be the bigger person and say sorry.
But Dad, what if he died thinking I hated him?
Hey, how could he think you hated him?
How could he think that?
A few words said in the heat of the moment doesn't...
doesn't change a friendship.
Come on.
No more talk about moving out, right?
Come on.
I'll get the camp bed down, and I'll sleep on your floor
if that's what it takes.
And we can... we can keep talking about him.
Yeah. I'd like that.
All right? Yeah.
It'll be all right, OK? Yeah, right.
You got me. I know.
Dad, can I have a hug?
Come on, bring it in here.

Sienna, it's me. I need to talk to you.
I think you know something about what happened to Zac, don't you?
'I don't know what you're on about.'
You said things could have been different if Zac had known.
What did that mean? 'Nothing.'
Well, it must have meant something.
'Sienna, I'm sorry, but if you won't talk to me,
'I'm gonna have to go to the police.'
No! No, please, Miss, you can't go to the police.
'You can't tell them anything. I thought I could trust you.'
Calm down.
'Where are you?'
I'm at the home.
'OK, stay there. I'm coming over. You can tell me everything.'

OK?
Hi. Hey.
Hear me out.
It's just a clinic where you can chat through your options.
I told you, I'm not getting rid of it.
And if she's a girl, I'm gonna call her Davina,
after my mum.
I get the appeal of having a baby to love.
Shh! No-one can find out.
Sienna, if you're determined to keep this baby,
people will find out.
What's this got to do with Zac?
Just leave it. I can't.
My husband's being blamed for something he didn't do.
Now you care about your husband?
Sienna, you told me you'd tell me everything
if I didn't speak to the police.
So tell me everything you know, now.
Was Zac jealous of you and Matt?
He was your best friend.
His mum deserves to know the truth.
What's Matt's involvement?
Oh, for...
Talk to me! Just stop it.
This is not the time for loyalties.
Or if you're scared of someone,
I can protect you and the baby.
But I will not let my family be torn apart
while you protect a killer.
Do you hear me? Because I'm not leaving until you explain.
Oh, just... just stop talking.
Sienna, tell me what happened.
I know you're hiding something.
Sienna, please, you can trust me.
It was me!
I killed Zac.

Don't lie to me.
Are you involved in something?
Eh? Someone give this to you?
It was Zac's.
How have you ended up with it?
Dad, I...
Wait, was this before or after he died?
Did you see something?
Dad... You need to talk to me.
Look, I'm sorry, Dad.
You need to talk to me. Come here, Matt!
Matt, you need to talk to me!

How?
SOCIAL WORKER: One second, and I'll see if I can find it.
He was your best friend. Why?
Sienna, why?
Was anyone else involved?
Did someone force you to do it?
I don't understand. Cos he wouldn't stop!
Wouldn't stop what?
He just wouldn't stop! He wouldn't leave me alone!
You need to tell the police. No.
Sienna, they will find out.
It's much better that you tell the truth first.
Give your side of the story, whatever that is.
I'll be right there with you.
I just... want you and your baby to have the best chance.
So, we'll go...
and we'll talk to them together, yeah?
Thanks for coming at such short notice. Yeah.
It's important we support each another, so...
Yeah. Yeah, of course, yeah, it is.
Right, there's enough behind the bar
for two moderately priced drinks each, so go nuts. Thank you.
You, don't feel any pressure to stay if you need to be home with Matthew.
Matt? No, he's fine. Yeah, he's OK. Thank you.

was when he forgot to sort his work experience placement,
and he had to help out the dinner ladies for a week.
OTHERS CHUCKLE
Hey, you remember the derby against St John's?
What was it? I think it was 1-1 at extra time.
You remember that?
He goes to take to take the penalty before anyone could stop him,
and whew... skies it over the bar.
HE CHUCKLES
Only Zac, eh?
Not one of you phoned to say that you knew it wasn't me.
Not one.
You need to go home.
You're still under investigation. But he can stay?
He can stay, but I can't? That's not fair.
Could have been any bloke.
Yeah. Turns out that my wife, all she wanted was a shag.
So... match made in heaven.
You're upset, I get it.
Am I?
HE CHUCKLES
Apple doesn't fall far from the tree, though.
Matty's a little shagger, too.
Looks like you're gonna be a granddad.
Get him out.
It's OK. It's all right.
I just called Dani.
What did you just say?
What the fuck did you just say?
No. You don't call my wife.
Tim...
That's my family that you're messing with, Jimmy.
They're all that I have.
Tim, calm down.
You don't get to call my wife!
You do not get to call my wife! You're on bail, Tim.
You don't get to call my wife! Stop. Stop! Think, Tim, think!
We're sorry. What's wrong with you?!
CAULFIELD: God's sake.
I can't believe you.
God!
Do you WANT to go to prison? Not like you care.
How do you think Stan would cope, eh?
Let's go home, sober you up.
No. No, Dani, just...
Fuck doing nothing, OK?
I'm innocent! Who's the student that knows stuff?
Huh? Who's pregnant? I mean, Jesus, they think I'm a murderer!
Who's pregnant? It's Sienna.
Tim?
Shit.
Dani, you all right? Yeah. I'd better go after him.
I'd go after him myself, but his head's gone. What can I say?
