-I'm gonna call the doctor.

-I'm fine, seriously.

I just need to get some sleep.

[groans]

[car horn honking in distance]

-There he is.

-[chuckles] Morning.

-You sleep all right, love?

-Yeah, good.

All right. Well, you look better.

How was Lucy yesterday?

Different.

Yeah. So were you.

Keep thinking

if your mum was still with us,

she'd be out there now,

kicking doors down,

trying to find the little bastards

that did that to you.

Tom!

-What are you doing?

-It's Monday.

You've just been shot in the head.

I think they'll give you

a bit of time off school.

It's exams... or doom.

Well, stay out of trouble.

[sighs]

Tom.

[grunts]

Easy.

Sh*t. You took a head shot

and you're already walking.

Is it true they had to pull

bits of phone outta your brain?

-Left most of it in there, I think.

-Mate, I am...

-I am glad you ain't a vegetable.

-[chuckles]

-Thanks, Danny.

-Wait, I know you're not going to school.

-I thought I might.

-Head trauma is wasted on you, mate.

Danny, can I ask you something?

I don't know anything about it.

No one on the estate does.

Yeah, but--

Bruv, just forget about it now

and move on.

-[vehicle horn honking]

-I think Eugene was there.

Eugene? Come on, man.

The guy wants to be a bad boy,

but he's got a line, you know?

-Yeah, but what if he was? What do I do?

-Look, he wasn't there.

That's all there is to it. Come on.

-[electronic buzzing]

-[indistinct chatter on phones]

-Tom? Tom!

-Huh?

Did you hear what I said? Party tonight.

-Oh. Hadn't heard about it.

-Yeah, he might not have invited you.

Everyone still thinks

you're in a coma now.

-Right.

-But you should come.

-What? You're not going to school?

-They've done all they can for me, son.

[scoffs]

-But I'll see you there, yeah?

-In a bit.

[indistinct chatter]

[Lucy screaming]

[Lucy]

No!

[screams]

No!

[electronic buzzing]

-Ah, f***.

-[students laughing]

-[woman] Eugene, put that away now.

-[Eugene] Shut up, man!

Excuse me, everyone. Quiet down.

-It's funny, innit?

-[woman] Eugene.

You know what else is funny?

I know where you live, you little--

-Bruv, you made it.

-Yeah.

How you feeling? How's your head?

[electronic buzzing]

[grunting]

[pool balls clacking]

What the f*** you staring at, Tom?

What you staring at, Tom?

-What the f*** are you--?

-All right, Eugene.

-Chill out, bruv. Hey, just chill out.

-Get him out of here now.

-Relax. Chill out.

-Take him back to Nanny, bruv.

-I'll sort it. Just chill.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah, sort it, Danny.

[can clattering]

What's the matter with you?

Do you want another hole in your head?

You start a fight in there,

you ain't gonna win it.

They were there.

-What you talking about?

-At Lucy's.

When are you gonna get it

through your head that this wasn't them?

[scoffs]

You talk like you're not one of them.

I know they've already got you selling.

What, you think this won't escalate?

Don't be a d*ckhead about it, Tom.

I'm doing what I want.

You get that? You know what? One day,

it'll be me at the top giving out orders,

and it won't be none of this sh*t,

just business.

Tom, I can't always be there, you know.

[phone vibrates]

[door opens, closes]

-You smell like weed.

-[chuckles]

You got any?

-Comes out here empty-handed.

-[chuckles] Sorry.

-How was the party?

-It was all right. Didn't miss much.

How you feeling?

Good.

Yeah?

-Yeah.

-That's good.

Maybe you'll be able to come

back to school soon.

-Yeah, maybe.

-Boring without you there.

Got no one to throw chips at

in the canteen.

-Like you'd ever dare throw chips at me.

-Yeah, what would you do about it?

Give you a slap, obviously.

[chuckles] You'd have to find

a chair to stand on first.

[chuckles]

You're gonna regret all this talk

when I'm owning you in front of everyone.

Okay. I wouldn't mind that so much.

[boys speaking indistinctly]

[glass shatters]

It's gonna be all right, you know.

Yeah.

[phone dings]

[man]

Next up, you have virtual private network.

[overlapping chatter]

[man 2]

...all of the pages from the web server.

Five steps to remotely hack

into a DNS server.

-PHP Web Shell and Stealth.

-[overlapping chatter]

-Just chill out, bruv.

-Naw, man. No time to chill.

-What am I gonna call her for?

-For me.

[indistinct chatter]

-Good seeing you, Cutz.

-What's going on?

[Cutz]

Cool, yeah?

Half a brick there, yeah.

Sure you can--?

-Why are you leaning on my car for, fam?

-Cutz, man--

Get off the f***ing car.

-You sure you can handle it, yeah?

-Well, it's easy, man.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Should we start talking to you now?

Stand over there, fam.

He's cool. Listen.

All right, Cutz. He's cool.

-Don't worry about him.

-Are you sure?

Yeah, yeah. He's cool, he's cool.

-Mind how you lot go, fam.

-Yeah, I'll bell you straightaway.

-Make sure you call me, yeah?

-I'll bell you. Safe.

-Safe, Cutz.

-Safe.

[indistinct chatter]

[phones ding]

Wow, that was exactly

the same time, you know?

What?

-I'll bell you.

-Safe, Cutz.

Let's go.

-You're bugging out, bruv.

-F***, bruv.

I wondered if you wanted some tea, love.

[clock ticking]

-[indistinct chatter]

-[man] No, no. Shh! Quiet, please! Hush!

Quiet-- Quiet, please. Shh!

Thank-- Shh! Hush! Thank you.

So, for this morning's thought of the day,

we will be discussing with you

future planning.

Now, as you know, many of the top here

will be, uh, taking their exams soon.

Much sooner than many of them would like.

-[boy] Hey, yo, that's you.

-[man] But it's always at this-- Shh!

It's always at this time of year,

as we prepare to say bye-bye

to some of you,

that my thoughts turn to...

to what lies ahead of us

on the road to...

Um, okay. Everybody, quiet, please.

As we-- Quiet, please!
