Ackley Bridge (2017) s05e05 Episode Script

1
I've told you, you've got
nothing to worry about.
These exams are gonna be a doddle.
I know Ken wants me to fail.
You won't, will you?
And I've heard you didn't
have to drag Kyle in
on the truant bus today?
So, you must be getting through to him.
Or he's trying to avoid me.
Don't look now.
Woo!
I kept the bag in for five
and gave it an extra squeeze.
Here mate, just take it.
Play it cool. Come on.
Sic. Let's go bro.
Oi! Don't think I don't
know what's going on.
I see everything. What you got to say?
Sorry, but you told me
to broaden my horizons
- get off the internet and that.
- Have you lost your mind?
Whoa, whoa, it's business.
Supply and demand.
I will supply you with bloody toppa.
Give.
Oh, crack cocaine?
So, now you big drug dealer, that it?
It's not drugs. It's a dog tag.
Oh, Mum.
This is Tyson, best dog ever.
You bought his bloody dog?
I've got enough trouble
cleaning up after you.
No. It's a no deal.
Now you get to class.
And you.
You can't leave him out here.
Move!
Why is this animal on the premises?
Don't worry Mr Reever.
I'll put him in my
office for rest of day.
All day?
I want him out of my school
by lunchtime, Mrs Paracha.
This is his doing, I bet.
I will take care of it.
I suspect you've taken
on more than you can chew,
with laddo over there.
I will eat my hat if you can
manage to get him under control.
I will bloody feed it to you.
DOG WHIMPERS
Ah, the wanderer returns.
I was promised you'd wipe the
floor with St Mark's debate team,
what happened?
If you don't mind Mr Weaver,
we were just about to pray,
unless you'd like to join us?
We best not have another
debacle, Ms Farooqi.
I do not want this rugby
tournament going belly up.
You're still on probation, after all.
DOOR CLOSES
Sorry about walking out on the debate.
I shouldn't have put
pressure on you to take part.
I can handle it.
You sure?
I know things can't be
easy, what with exams and
How's your dad?
Yeah, fine.
You know,
if you ever need to escape,
you can always come in here.
To pray? Nah. Not really my thing.
Although I like what
you've done with the place.
Just think of this room
as a Weaver-free zone.
Do you really think
religion has all the answers?
Faith helps us but, ultimately,
we make our own choices.
So, what's the point,
if we can do without it?
You can do without friends,
but you wouldn't want to, would you?
Faith's always there when you need it.
Well, for me, anyway.
If something's wrong ?
Nothing's wrong.
You know you can always come to me.
From now on, you and me,
we're like Chuckle Brothers.
Ant and the Dec. We're
the study buddies.
I'm not letting you out of my sight.
What have you done with Tyson?
Don't you worry about him, we
take him back at lunch time.
- Mrs Paracha?
- Pretend you don't see me.
Morning.
And activity is
Any one?
Saleem, come on.
The rate at which a source
of unstable nuclei decay.
And decay is measured in?
Bequerel.
Played for the Reds him, didn't he?
All right, Mr Dobson,
if you're not gonna take this
seriously, I suggest you leave.
You can't chuck me out. I
ain't done nothing. Have I?
Oh, just calm down.
I'm not the one with the
problem, it's this guy.
GLASS SHATTERS
- That's enough. Out!
- It was an accident.
You don't need to get
your knickers in a twist.
It's OK. We can clear it up.
Go and get dust pan and brush.
- Go on, there's a good boy.
- CLASS LAUGHS
Haven't you got some roof
tiles you could be nicking?
Hey, Dobson!
Door!
EXCITED CHATTER
All right.
You could start argument
with a bloody mirror.
It's no wonder you end up in the juvi.
How you end up there, anyway?
We're being kidnapped, Ty.
Kidnapped
You got two options.
You can spend rest of day in Resolve,
or you apologise to Mr Hyatt.
Or we spend the day?
Why not? Haram, is it?
I can't go swanning off in middle
of day with you. I got work to do.
Treat me to a meal deal and
I won't say owt to Mr Weaver.
I seen him breathing down your neck.
Jumped up little slaphead.
He does have the slaphead.
TYSON BARKS
No. Right, we're taking that thing home.
Don't worry, Tyson, it's not personal.
Just her lot don't do dogs.
My lot? What you know about my lot?
Koran says you're dirty.
So, you don't do dogs
and you don't like women much either.
Says they should stay in the
kitchen and out of education.
TYRES SCREECH
You know so much,
why don't you go in there,
tell them what you know, eh?
- Go on.
- No, ta.
No?
Then shut your bloody mouth.
Hey.
I don't know why I did it.
I'm ridiculously attractive.
And you're only human.
Have I made things weird?
Weren't the worst
thing you've ever done.
Fancy getting chips?
I I need to go home.
But I've got this thing coming up.
Is it infectious?
It's a poetry, spoken
word kind of night.
Terminal, then.
Shut up. You might actually enjoy it!
Heathen.
MESSAGE ALERT PINGS
Ooh! He's got ironing
board out, must be serious.
He's going on pull, in't he?
What he means is I'm hoping
to meet a nice young lady,
and spend a few hours in
her enchanting company.
Oi.
Get us some cigs.
That's a lot of cash. You've
sold them fake solar panels?
Did I hell. Tyson did the business.
Thought you said he weren't
good for breeding now?
He's not. An opportunity
arose to put him in a fight.
Tyson in a fight? You
promised me you wouldn't.
You're joking me, right?
It's easy money, Kyle.
It's not that he won.
I've seen more fight
in a battered sausage.
Bet against him.
Well, where is he?
He's, er,
gone into early retirement.
Tyson! TY!
What?
On the menu tonight,
we have Pythagoras
with a side of lightly
sautéed Venn diagrams. Oh!
Or would Madam prefer to
skip straight to dessert?
You think this a bloody joke?
Me taking exams is bloody hilarious.
That's not what I meant at all.
But maybe if you spent less time
running around after Kyle Dobson.
Running around? Is that
what you think I do all day?
No, I just think you should
step back. These exams.
Exam, exam, exam.
That's all the people talk to me about.
I can do my job without exam.
But if Ken's insisting
you need qualifications,
don't let Kyle get in the way.
He's doesn't deserve your time.
What about what I deserve?
For once in my life,
I have proved to everyone,
I have proved to myself,
I can do more than just cook the rotis
and bring up the kids.
If I fail these exams, Ken will sack me,
unless I make it clear that
the school really needs me.
It won't come to that.
Be confident.
I love my job. I can't lose it.
You don't get it, Rashid.
I am really, really scared.
FRANTIC KNOCKING
He's dying!
Has he been run over?
In a fight.
- So take him to the vet!
- I can't. They'll ask questions.
- Nobody can know about my dad's dogs.
- I'm sorry, but
No. If we don't go
now, he won't make it.
WHEEZY BREATHING
Why do you think I were selling him?
My dad breeds dogs for fighting.
You made me take him back.
And he put him in a fight.
He's gonna die, look at him!
Look, Rashid, you could
take him to the vet?
I don't think
Just don't say he's got
owt to do with me or my dad.
Just say you found him in t'road.
I'll go get the car.
HE CRIES
DOG BARKS IN DISTANCE
This what you've been doing all day?
Don't pretend you care.
I don't.
No-one ever does.
Kyle, you only just come out of
juvie bloody five minutes ago,
and you getting mixed up in all this?
Breeding the dog for
fighting is illegal.
Think about your future.
My future isn't 'owt to do with you.
It will be, if I tell the
police what's going on.
No, you can't. You can't do that.
How many more of these
puppy you got in back garden?
Kyle, tell me.
Six.
Why?
Well, I wouldn't have nothing
to report if they weren't here.
We take them to animal shelter.
- Mind Rocky, he's riddled with fleas.
- Oh!
Oh, I give you bloody flea behind ear.
Hey. Proper little twocker now, Mrs P.
- What?
- Taken without owner's consent.
We got no time for the chitchat.
It's all right, me dad's gonna be ages.
Right now he's telling some lass
about that time he
was a roadie for Oasis.
Right. Come on.
PUPPY SQUEALS
Oh.
Oh, I feel like a Thelma and Louise.
You nearly had us killed.
I'm a very careful driver.
They like you.
Oh. Well, we leave them here
and then I drop you home.
Why you doing this?
I don't want you to
mess up your education.
Yeah. Says the woman who's
taking her GCSEs at 50.
50, eh? You want to
get your eyes tested.
You know, you'd be all right if you
didn't wind the people up all time.
People wind me up.
You know, they should be more like
dogs. They don't muck you about
and they don't let you down.
They'll be all right, you know.
I battered someone.
That's why I was in juvie.
You can't go round hitting people, Kyle.
He was hitting my mum.
I had to do summat.
You were protecting your mother. Oh
Wish I hadn't bothered now.
The ungrateful cow.
- Don't talk about her like that.
- She dobbed me in.
It was her fella I beat up.
She took his side.
That must have been very hard for you.
PUPPIES GRUN
They're gonna wazz on the
seats if we don't get 'em out.
OK.
Have you got any room for some puppies?
Oh, yeah, but I need
to take some details.
Oi! Where's my bloody dogs?
What you doing with her?
Mr Dobson. I know everything.
About the breeding,
and Tyson in the fight.
I think it's disgusting. How
you be so cruel, I don't know,
putting an animal through all that?
You done?
Only reason I'm not at
police station right now,
is because I don't
want it coming on him.
- You and your big gob.
- Don't touch him.
You've really messed it up for us now.
Dad, it weren't my idea. I
didn't want nothing to do with it,
but she said she'll
call police if I never.
Well, go on. Get lost!
Go!
How are you my son?
CAR ENGINE STARTS

Fabulous, aren't they? I

LAUGHS
How much this cost?
I did a business plan.
We're gonna be millionaires.
I'm gonna add it to the act.
Start a franchise, go international.
Right, you said it was gonna be a shop.
There's more to life than
tinned fruit and teabags.
I'm gonna do hens, birthdays,
funerals, barmitzahs.
Call me and I'll bring
the party. Ha-ha-ha-ha!
ICE CREAM VAN JINGLE PLAYS

I lied, there is something. It's my dad.

- Fizza, go. I can't.
- No, please.
I don't know what to do. Leave me alone!
Are you drunk?
Don't look at me like that.
After everything I've done for you.
No, Miss, I didn't mean.
You don't get to look
down your nose at me.
You've caused me enough trouble already.
Got him back from vets.
I can see that.
