How was it?

- Great, you would have enjoyed.

But you have to be happy

you're back?

Look for a job. You can not

I cannot find a job. I have epilepsy,

they leave me no longer on the train ride.

I know you f***

epilepsy, but you need ...

now, and another

type of job.

Daddy?

Shut up.

- Are you okay?

Dad, calm down.

Stay calm dad.

Dad, calm down.

Dad, calm down.

Stop staring at him.

Dad, Dad!

Where the hell have you been?

Weather in the cafe?

I have been waiting for.

And you, he is just five minutes back ...

and he sits back in the cafe.

Come back here, you little prick!

Come here!

Leave him alone, do you want.

Why are you always so?

You never do anything!

Your dad would have beat you more often.

Do not touch my father! Get off of him!

Do not hurt him!

You little prick!

You gonna just stand by and watch?

Let him do it?

Do not touch me!

I gotta f***ing have him.

Come here!

You tried to give me a right,

is not it?

Yes, you did it?

I will see what your right hand is doing.

No!

- Yes, I'll f***ing show.

Dad!

Could you give me a right?

- Dad, she's going to do it. Help me!

Dad, help me!

- Do not turn away from me.

Please let me go.

So, as a bird with a broken wing

flies that perfect circles ...

fate had brought me back to

this pink tin house ...

where nothing ever changed.

The outside world changed.

But my world did not change.

Hey, Kev!

Is it okay?

Shut up, Claire!

It feels like with fries.

My name is Mr. Smith.

The new dude.

- And for you who do not know ...

I am your new teacher.

Let's go to Tesco

where Kevin gets his best clothes away.

I come out of Liverpool ...

as you know what home is

of the world's best football team.

Dalglish, corner.

Yes, top of the league.

And of course where the best pop music

comes from the world.

Okay.

You are here to teach.

And I'm here to teach.

Want to buy my sweets vouchers?

- 50 cents each.

Two pounds for the whole zakie.

There you can buy a lot of soaps.

And I really love my job.

So, you do your work

and I do mine.

And who knows, you are taught

as much fun as I like to give.

Any other questions? Not? Well.

Go to page 34 of your book, please.

Act one, scene one, King Lear.

You in the back, so are you.

Sir, he cannot hear you,

because he is a bum.

That's enough.

What is this?

Lewis?

No, good, you may remain behind.

Then the bum anyway

have somewhere to go to it.

And you can join him in detention.

Sit down.

Otherwise you can sit again detention.

Well, that's twice detention.

Three times detention.

Kev, please.

Four times in detention. Look, we can solve this

continue to do the whole lesson, Lewis.

Okay, back to your books.

Okay guys,

You can store your stuff.

see more, so try to conduct yourself.

Lewis, same time tomorrow.

Hey you two.

Okay guys, that was it.

You may go home now.

Suggsy,

These do not belong in school uniform.

Kevin, what's going on.

You're always tired and never concentrated.

And your attitude in class is horrible.

Sorry, just leave me alone.

Wignall, you're next.

What is that?

- But, sir ...

Hold that down, you're next.

Go inside.

Gordon which is the story of Lewis?

- Lewis without shorts?

I have little to do with him.

He never does it ...

is always an excuse,

You know those figures though.

I mean, I do not gossip.

Of course not, Gordon.

- But since you asked ...

His father is an alcoholic and his mother

Frankenstein's rags, or something.

Troubled, you know.

His brothers and sisters go to

another institution you know.

Lewis is clear of the family.

Ok guys, here we go. I am somewhat

later, Samantha Fox kept me busy for a while.

A lap and we do some stretching.

Thank you. Smith, so it is.

One, two, three one today and fun

to have had Madison.

Lewis.

Now you feel?

Okay, get dressed.

That's detention,

no answer back.

Do you like classic music?

I have not heard before.

Do you find the sound of

nice restful moments?

I can make a copy for you if you

likes it?

I have nothing to play it.

Take this.

That is my old one.

Where are the bruises from, Kevin?

Let me see the scars on your neck.

Where do they come, Kevin?

She keeps biting me.

And those other places?

A belt buckle.

Yes, I know the Lewis family very well.

How may I help you?

Well, Kevin has blue spots and bites

his whole upper body.

When did this happen?

To be honest, I think

it been a while in progress.

What makes you so sure?

Who did this to you Kevin?

They did.

- You mean your mother?

How long has it been going?

Since you have put me back there.

- Tell me the truth, Kevin.

I do.

Why did you bring me this

than never told?

Because you f***ing me

never asked. Or you?

Where did the bruises come from?

Precisely so, now ...

He tried to give me a smack and missed,

and fell down the stairs. Or not?

Kevin?

Is that what really happened?

Kevin, can we talk here soon?

- No, I'm busy.

Everything all right, Mr. Smith?

- Yes, I am fine director. Thank you.

I did not realize that he

would.

Why cannot your nose

my business account?

Look, I know you do not want to talk

but I would have brought you.

I have nothing to play with.

All right, Kev?

Hey, where one is that of

love bites that I've heard about.

You do not girlfriends

spell it?

See how they mock him.

- Do not get involved.

They tease him for his bite wounds

in his neck.

Lewis Dark Force.

Come on, let the guys

see that love bites ...

where we have heard.

He was kissed by Dracula.

Sorry, that was not my intention.

What?

- Sorry.

Come on, let's go talk,

you and me.

Dominic, it meant nothing.

- Shut up, Clair.

It runs from the hand.

I'll go with you.

- You cannot save them all, Collin.

Go f***ing dead.

Lewis, that's enough.

Take it easy.

Quiet, boy.

Relaxed.

It's over.

Provoked or not,

I shall not tolerate such behavior.

Well, boy?

Close the door.

Stand up.

Thank you, sir.

Sit down.

You will also have no contact

with your son, Mrs. Lewis.

We take him to a new location

and a new school ...

and it is up to Kevin if he still wants to see you.

Do you understand?

We will miss.

- I'll also miss you.

Kevin, do not go.

I'm going and i do not come back.

Get out the damn car.

C'mon, Kevin.

I'm sorry for everything that happened.

Hang in there, huh?

Take care of yourself.

With us will be fine.

Sometimes fate just looks the other way ...

perhaps derived from the misery

someone else.

And the Angels of Prosperity ...

bring you into safer hands.

Hi, Kevin.

I'm Alan.

- Hi, Alan.

Come take a look at my wife.

This is where we live.

Nice.

You're a bantamweight I see.

What is that?

- Do you know anything about boxing?
