Boarders (2024) s02e01 Episode Script

1
Your talent is what got you your
scholarships at St Gilbert's.
Don't be who they
expect you to be.
This serious.
The scholarship kids need
to fit in with the school,
not fit the school around them.
If you just want my
attention, then just say that.
I don't want your attention.
Then what do you want?
I heard you're the weed man.
Are you embarrassed of me?
I just don't know why you
always have to be the joke.
I promised my dad I
would do well here.
We you know you're black,
but we are struggling to figure out
what you're actually excellent at.
Yeah.
Have you lot not
watched Get Out?
That's how you man end
up in a sunken place.
What are you waiting for?
SHE SCREAMS
Apparently there's,
like, a secret society.
Brother, you've got to let
this secret society thing go.
Make sure you don't forget us.
Remember, we made
you right here.
You're a Rah'scal.
Smile.
We look good together.
Please welcome your acting
head, Mrs Watlington-Geese.
As messed up as this place
is, I think we all love it.
OVERLAPPING CHATTER
You know we're missing
this train, innit?
Leah, we've got enough time.
I'm only supposed to take four.
Big man, I beg you,
relax your batty.
We're going to fit.
Omar, get on Femi's lap.
Can I not? You know what?
If we just took overground, we
would've got to the station quicker.
Hey, yo, hey, ring
him again, please.
He's not answering.
I'm not taking five.
Keep running your mouth and
I'm dropping you two stars.
Hey!
VENTS IN BENGALI
BEEPS HORN
Don't forget to take your
nastiness out the fridge.
It's not nastiness, Grandma.
It's a science project.
Why unu inna ye posh school
can't just read book?
Want to cut up pig, cat
and cow, want to play God.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And don't stress yourself
about us, you hear?
Yeah.
Come give me a hug, then.
There's, like, three
quid left on the metre
and Grandma doesn't get
her money until next week.
Yeah, Malachi's going
to come through.
Bruv, he ain't
been here for time.
Just give me Mum's number,
innit? Just give her a chance.
Come give me a hug, I got to go.
He's fine.
Take that nastiness and go.
MALACHI: Yo, I'm
busy. Leave a message.
Malachi, where are you, bruv?
I need you to help Caleb out.
Call me when you get the chance.
Jaheim.
What?
I, um
I was going to pop this
through the door for you.
How many times do we have to
tell you we don't want to know?
Yo, you can't read a watch now?
Missed you too,
brother. Missed you too.
But look at you greeting me
like this, bro. Come on, man.
My turn. Good?
Calm, still. People's good?
Come on. What you
lot saying? Good?
All good, you know
what the time is?
Move, bro, I don't care.
What do you mean move?
Hurry up.
Ah, ah, ah!
Aarh, you're crushing my knees!
You lot comfy, yeah?
Oi, this doesn't feel safe.
Hey, to St Gilbert's,
to bloodclart, bruv.
HORN BEEPS
Let's go! Here we
go! We're going.
I swear these uniforms
have gotten uglier.
Hmm? You sure it ain't
just, like, your face? Oh!
Cheeky.
Uh, don't know about
you lot, though,
but this time round
feels kind of better.
We survived the
first term storm.
Mm.
Endured the darkest depths.
Faced the wrath of the titans.
Mmm.
Well, I guess some things never
change, huh? Always beefing.
Nah, she's just
being petty. Mm.
You did get her dad
fired. Suspended.
Pending an investigation.
I beg you, chat to
her for me, please.
Me and her don't chat.
She called me a joke, innit?
Why are you lot
always so sensitive?
OTHERS CHUCKLE
Forget all that.
I'm on the lookout
for a new ting now.
Actually, there
is this new girl.
Please, please, please,
please be a black girl.
Devonye Green. Yeah, she's
definitely a black girl.
I knew a white
girl called Ebony.
No drama this time.
Just good time.
Look how man's
attitude's switch up
now he's getting that
good-good, innit?
What? This one? This one.
Is he?
Don't worry about that.
What?
LAUGHTER
Mm, I've missed this.
We was doing it a lot
over the holidays.
Now, we can do it every day.
Multiple times a day.
Nice pants.
Doctor Who's a big
man show, you know?
They've got matching earrings.
Gilbertus numquam concedat.
ASSEMBLY: Gilbertus
semper duret.
Welcome back, everyone
Hey, Miss.
You may want to zip that.
As you are all aware, due to the
leadership of our previous head,
St Gilbert's has been
run into the ground.
This decline in admissions
has created a deficit,
and the only way St Gilbert's can
continue delivering its renowned,
excellent education
..is by tightening
the purse strings.
At the end of the current
term, I will be reducing
Master Ashford's scholarship
programme from five places to three.
I believe financial aid
should be based on talent,
rather than background.
Those on such scholarships
will be given report cards.
My God.
The three with the highest
marks across the term
will be awarded
the scholarships.
And
Ah, that's everything.
Enjoy the new term.
Yo. Meter's run out.
There's still no
sign of Malachi.
My phone's on 10%.
I can't even make toast,
G. I'm going to pattern it.
Just give me Mum's number.
She said she can help.
I'll sort it, bro, chill.
Jaheim.
Jaheim!
You look stressed.
Bro, we've all just been
thrown into the Hunger Games,
and you want me to be happy? Mm.
This guy. Fair enough.
What, you're still on the
hunt, yeah? Yes, bruv.
Honestly, I ain't pree'd
this new ting yet.
But everyone else that's
decent's already paired up. Mm.
You know, sometimes you
have to look further afield.
All right.
Can't lie though, it's barren.
Yeah?
Dead.
Dead.
Dead.
THEY CHUCKLE
Oi, that's a bit of you, innit?
Bruv. I know you love
your white tings.
You're the one preaching
chop-chop, bro.
Deal with what
you're dealt with.
What, the head boy
and the polyglot
not too worried about
getting kicked out, yeah?
Not as worried as you should be.
MOCK CHUCKLES
Anyway, by acting headmistress.
Acting.
She's pretending, she can't
take away our scholarships.
Well, she's acting like she can.
Here.
I usually like my double D's.
CHUCKLING
Yeah, very funny, very funny.
It's not the time
to be making jokes.
If we all get A's, maybe she
won't be able to kick us all out.
OK. This is not right,
and it's targeted.
Like, we have to
jump through hoops.
No, we should tell her
fi suck her mudder.
So, you learned absolutely
nothing from last year?
You're just giving her more
reasons to kick you out, eh?
Listen to me, all right?
We just need to strategise.
No, no, let me
land. Go on, go on.
OK.
We could, like, do a march.
OTHERS: Oh. No, no, no, no,
let me land, let me land.
All the time. No, no, no, no.
We skip classes.
This is why my dad said I cannot be
hanging around you foolish goats.
You cheeky bastard.
Listen. Good luck, suffragette.
OK. Power to the people.
All right, you lot just
leave me to it, then.
You lot can suck
your mudders too.
SCHOOL BELL RINGS
So, I'll come to yours
or you can come to mine.
Yeah, sure.
Mine is fine, yours is fine.
Whatever is fine.
Is that you this term,
yeah, Omar? Yeah?
Last term it was all weird
drawings and secret societies.
Which obviously
was a hoax. Is it?
I've heard nothing
from the Raisinettes.
That's a good thing.
Less with that stupidness.
More time for you
and Dilton to
What? Jab our dicks together?
I don't know what you man do.
Look, he's just
coming over to study.
Study, eh? Study, eh?
No, we, we haven't
I'm-I'm bricking it.
Not surprised.
Two virgins having sex.
Just bear hands and genitals.
Shouldn't you be telling
me to relax and enjoy it?
Relax? Brother, the last
thing you want to do is relax.
You came in as a virgin.
You don't want to
be leaving as one.
Hear me?
Hey, pretend you
told me a joke. Why?
TOBY LAUGHS
Toby.
What? Can we talk?
I was wondering if you
wanted to pop round later.
Why would I do that?
Right, yes.
Well, I understand that some
ill-chosen words were thrown around.
Mm. But what we
had was fun, right?
Let's be honest.
Yeah, it was decent. Decent?
Fine. It was lit. You happy now?
Yes, well
Um, I'm not saying that we
get back together or anything.
I do have principles, you know.
As do I.
But I also enjoy fun.
As do you.
Thank you, Abby,
for your kind offer.
But, um, respectfully,
imma decline.
BOTH: Babe.
What?
I just think you
should apologise.
For what?
For calling him a joke.
Yes, but to, to
apologise is to
..admit I was wrong.
You were wrong.
Exactly!
Uh.
Hey, I love those locks on you.
You're black!
THEY CHUCKLE
Oh, my gosh. Wait, sorry.
What are you even doing
here? Oh, I'm just
I'm on, like, an exchange
student sort of thing.
Although I didn't
I didn't really realise it was
going to be this melanin deficient,
you know.
Um, sorry, I'm Devonye.
I'm Leah. Um, so, what,
do you normally go to, like, private
schools, like, back in the US?
Yeah, yeah, but just on
scholarships like you.
Oh, nice. I've never, I've never
been anywhere this fancy before.
Yeah, no, I'm still
getting used to that.
MABEL CLEARS THROAT Like,
it's mad. Oh, this is Mabel.
Hi.
Hi. Hi. Oh, my God,
I love your freckles.
Oh.
Yeah, like, I could just,
like, pick 'em off and wear
'em as sequins, you know.
OK.
OK, weird.
AWKWARD LAUGHTER
SCHOOL BELL RINGS
Oh, that's the school bell,
which means that you should
probably take your seat.
MABEL CHUCKLES
Um, I think there's some
empty seats over there,
on the other side of the room.
Oh, cool, yeah.
Awesome, well, I'll
see y'all around then.
I'll see you around, babe.
See ya.
MOCK VOICE: See y'all later.
I'm American. So American
OK, Mabel, stop it.
Oh, my God, she's
nice, like, what?
MABEL SUCKS THROUGH HER TEETH
What was that? Did you just?
Don't, don't do that again.
But I had it that
time. No, mm, no.
Mm-mm.
Mm.
Also, we need to talk about
the black emojis thing.
Oh, is that a no? No.
Should I just use
the yellow ones?
Exactly.
Not getting that many likes?
You really like to think you're
the only person with problems,
don't you? Only the real ones.
Just because my houses
are bigger than yours
doesn't mean everything's
perfect, Jaheim.
Oh, more money, more
problems, right? Hmm.
And how are your problems?
Shouldn't you be kissing arse
to save your scholarship?
Ha-ha! So, you got
jokes now, huh? Mm.
Speaking of jokes, where's,
uh, where's Rupert?
On work experience.
During term time?
In term time.
OK.
Well, got to find something
to do for free period, do you?
I've got to study. So
Have fun.
WHISPERS TO HIMSELF
LAUGHTER, INDISTINC
CONVERSATION
Right, right, right,
you get those.
Yes, check the supplies.
You shall be bestowed
What's with all the condoms?
It's for tomorrow night.
It's this, um, new society
that we signed up for.
Aah. Mm. The bumming society?
Ah, ah, au contraire,
mon ami, non.
We shall be dabbling
in a spot of the
..dramatics.
I didn't take you
lot for thespians.
Darling, I just want to
climb upon these racks.
Have a look at this, Femi.
Yeah.
This is the new dramaturg, OK.
She's a writer-in-residence
and she's,
like, at St Gilbert's to inspire
her next theatrical piece.
And the Guardian said she's
Britain's most urgent playwright.
And guess what?
I most urgently need to
get into her panties.
THEY CHUCKLE
Come on, you should come.
Oh, I can't do that
kind of stuff right now.
Don't be a killjoy, mate.
I thought you guys would have been
used to leaving me behind anyway.
Kind of like how you
did over the holidays.
That's where you got the
matching jewellery, right?
Well, you were invited skiing.
Yeah, don't be narked with us
because you couldn't afford it.
OK, Graham, that's,
that's enough.
No, all you had to pay for was
the flight and you couldn't.
You're poor, mate.
Get over it.
We have.
God, no!
Hm.
Just, I—I need to go
catch up with the boys,
so I should probably
do that, yeah?
See you later,
yeah? Yeah, yeah.
MABEL: OK, I got some croissants
and some nuts.
You're not allergic
to nuts, are you?
Mabel, it's a
protest, not a picnic.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, look. Here comes
little Miss Beg Friend.
Hey, thank you for coming.
Yeah, anything to support.
Nice.
So, where's everyone else?
This is it.
Oh.
Miss Dulverton.
Acting headmistress.
The Afro-Caribbean Society.
Problem? Absolutely not.
However, St Gilbert's
is a community
and it's vital everyone
feels included.
As much as I'd love for us
to all sing Kumbaya, I ain't
really feeling what you're feeling.
If you could all pack
up your belongings,
today's event is cancelled.
Mm.
Shutting down the one society that
looks different to the status quo
seems pretty divisive to me.
Not the society, just
whatever this event is.
And until you can prove yourself
to be a true team player,
you will be stepping
down as chair.
Oh, and I may be
acting head now,
but I have several board members in
favour of my permanent appointment.
Just something to bear in mind.
Have a lovely evening.
Shit.
No. No, no, no.
You need to chill.
I'm just going to talk to her.
No, you're not,
OK, you're angry.
Do I look angry? Yes.
And it's fine. We just need
to just channel that anger.
Channel it into what? She
just shut down my whole thing.
Does it matter? There's
no-one here, anyway.
What you got going on is cute.
Cute? Cute.
Which is not the vibe when she's
trying to stop you from saying
and doing shit.
I mean, she's fighting dirty.
So, you need to show her that
petty is a two-player game.
Look, you can take her
down, but you need an army.
And the only way to get that
army is if you show them
that you's a fucking
leader, girl.
I'm listening.
RING TONE
PHONE RINGS
What you saying?
Oh, so now you care.
Watch your tone, bro.
Where are you? Bro, why
aren't you at school?
Lights are out.
Couldn't do my homework.
I ain't trying to get
shouted at at school.
Listen, I'm going to sort
it out with Malachi, yeah.
I promise.
Now, you do something for
me and go to school, please.
Yeah, when you
get the lights on.
Caleb.

So, so
So.
So, so, so, so
..so.
It's OK.
Are you OK? Um
Uh, I'm nervous.
Oh.
That wasn't the reaction
I was expecting.
No. Um
..I was gonna say
the same thing.
I'm
..scared as hell.
I guess we can be
scared together.
Yeah.
Um
I I need to use the
bathroom real quickly.
Yep. OK. OK. Um
Yeah, I'll I'll

Please, please, please,

This is what I have to do.
Sweet Jesus, baby.
Phew.
DOOR CREAKS
Hello?
KNOCK AT DOOR Yeah?
What you doing? Uh, working.
Well, aren't you
the goody two-shoes?
Ooh, how about we
don't touch that?
It's for biology, and
if Carol has her way,
then I won't be here
next term, so
I know that feeling.
I think my dad has stopped
giving my mum money.
She says that he hasn't, but
now the finance department
is emailing me, asking why she's
stopped responding to their letters.
I think I am well
and truly screwed.
PHONE CHIMES
Jaheim? What? You
could say something.
Mm.
What's this? Who's it from?
You're a bit nosy
today, aren't you?
I'm not nosy, I'm just curious.
You OK? Good.
Are you sure? What's up?
Just wanted to hang.
Sorry, Xiang's coming
back in a bit, so
Well, we don't have to shag.
Well, what are you
doing here, then?
Look, um, I didn't mean that.
I think I'm just gonna go.
HE GRUNTS
HE SIGHS
Hello?
This is weird.
Drop your pants and assume
the position against the wall.
Sorry, what? Every new Raisinette
must receive the initiation paddles.
I've come too far
to back out now.
Oh, God no, sorry, I was, I
was just fucking with you.
Wow, you really want
to be a Raisinette.
It's Um ..it's
OK, I won't tell anyone.
Pop on your cloak and
mask and follow me.
But what is this place?
It was a munitions storage
during the Second World War.
Now, it's the Walls of Smut.
Every secret, every
private conversation,
every truth that is
scared to be uttered
that takes place at St Gilbert's
is etched onto these walls.
What secret will
you add to the wall?
Oh, I don't think I will.
Everyone has to add to the wall.
But I don't know any secrets.
I wouldn't let anyone
else hear you say that.
You'd better find some out
soon or you're screwed.
Wait, what, what do
you mean by that?
You don't want to know.
Trust me.
Wait, is
..is that Dilton?
Yeah. Hilarious, right?
But it's not true,
though, right?
Of course it's true.
It's the Wall of Truth.
Yelena, I need to
change to a forward.
I have my forwards.
Change me out for Parker.
She was dogshit last term,
and you know it. Hmm?
No offence, Parker.
Why? The sports bursary
is up for grabs, right?
Forwards score goals,
goals get attention.
I'll think about it.
Wh what is there to
think about? Yelena!
One less eardrum,
thank you, Beatrix.
What's wrong with Bea?
Jaheim, ooh-ooh.
But they were so cute together.
Oh, my God, I have other
problems aside from Jaheim.
Of course, but you
were cute together,
and now I am really sad for you.
Aw. There's nothing
to be sad about.
There was a spark
and now there's not.
No love lost.
What are you girls
yapping on about?
Jaheim couldn't get
Beatrix to spark.
THEY LAUGH
We have a game.
I know, Yelena.
If you want the bursary, take
your mind off of genitals
and keep it on the game.
Everyone, kit up.
Come on!
I'll be your boyfriend, Beatrix.
Sorry. Oops, don't mind me.
Just heading from
class to class.
I like to see how
everything is running.
Ooh, full hands, shall
I take that for you?
Thank you.
Good luck.
Sorry, mate. I think
you dropped something.
CLASS GIGGLES
Anybody want to tell
me what's going on?
Um, nothing.
Well, not nothing.
People are saying you couldn't
get it up with Beatrix.
Uh
Minor though, innit?
Fuck my life.
Right, presentation day.
Who shall start? Um
OK, um, Marsham comma Jaheim.
Give him a round of applause.
Woo!
Lungs do more than just
the simple intake of oxygen
and expelling of carbon dioxide.
They also are a
filtration system.

lungs, they, um

Uh, do you know what,
sir? I think I'll go next.
Yeah, I've been using a
virtual dissection software,
basically, to help me study
the anatomy of rodents.
So, uh, hope no-one's
scared of rats!

That led to, um
Ah! Ah.
The divide of Christianity
in Western Europe.
We've gone over this, my
brother. I know, and I know it.
It's the same crap we did
in the exams to get in here.
I'm, uh, I'm just
I'm always just Ugh!
Stop panicking.
You're so uptight.
I can hear your bum cheeks
clenching from here.
Yeah, I know. I can't help it.
I'm always feeling like people
are surprised that I'm here.
Yeah. We are, bro.
Cos of how you move, innit?

people think, I've told you this.

I'm going to teach you
some breathing exercises
when I get back, yeah?
You just keep reading.
I'll be back in ten.
Who am I kidding? Five.
Look, we've got a
whole term together,
we can't keep on
living like this.
Listen, yeah, did I
like your dad? No.
Was he a prick? Yeah.
Probably still is. Well,
this is a great start.
Let me land.
When I trashed the
portrait last time,
I genuinely thought I'd
be the one going home.
Not your dad.
I swear.
And I wanted to send
"hey" so many times.
Well, I was hoping you would.
Come here. I'm so sorry!
Oh, what's with the balaclavas?
If Carol's planning to stay,
I need to figure out a
way to force her to leave.
No. My dad will be back.
This is all just a
formality. I don't think so.
Carol's saying that she's got board
members on side and everything.
Bullshit.
She sounded pretty
confident to me.

TEXT MESSAGE
Close the door, bruv!
Yo, it's Toby here.
Don't leave a message cause
I get charged for voicemails.
You said you'll be ten minutes.
If you think I'm a lost cause,
it would be nice if you
just were honest about it.
Hello. My name is Miss Bradshaw,
but you can call me Jude.
Uh, "Ms" Bradshaw, so you're
not, you're not married?
No, why?
It's just very
good to know, Jude.
SNIGGERING
Yeah.
Would you like to come in?
The reason we can drop the airs and
graces is because I'm not a teacher.
I am a writer in residence
and I am hoping to create
stories from your experiences
that we will stage together.
Whatever those
experiences may be.
Why don't we start with
a game? A bit of improv.
Any volunteers?
Do you know what? Toes actually
loves improv. I'll be gentle!
What's your name? Femi.
Femi, would you like
to come up here?
OK, can someone
give me a location?
A bedroom!
And, um, our relationship?
Uh, husband and wife.
And a scenario?
Oh, um, it's your wedding night.
THEY SNIGGER
OK.
What a night.
It was great.
So much dancing.
What was your favourite part?
The first dance.
I'm glad to be back in our room.
I was thinking about
us starting a family.
Me too.
Can you help me with my dress?
What now?
Now
..we fuck.
SHOCKED LAUGHTER
Oh, my God!

I love this new Femi.
Mwah! Let's go! Let's go!
LAUGHTER
Let's get smashed!
Didn't see you at dinner
so I brought you this.
Thank you.
Just so you know,
I didn't spread those rumours.
Everybody thinks I can't
get it up now, so
Couldn't be further
from the truth.
Look, all I said to the
girls is that we aren't
..vibing.
I thought we were.
Take away us sleeping
together and what is there?
I didn't know we were there.
I didn't say we were.
It's just
I want to spend time with somebody
who wants to do more than just shag.
All I know about you is
that your name is Jaheim
and you love black pepper.
Well, um

Oh, fun? Fun.
Brother, you're worried about
getting kicked out, yeah?
This is how you do it, you know.
Yeah, well, I'm already out.
You don't know that
yet. Of course I do.
I'm the weakest out
of the lot of us.
I'm, I'm fucked.
I might as well enjoy
my time whilst I'm here.
You know, go out like a legend.
Have something for my
friends to remember me by.
Brother, they
ain't your friends.
And you are?
Big man, I'm sorry I
bailed on you, innit?
It's fine, it's fine, it's fine
Bro, listen, I went to link Abby
I'm not surprised.
Everyone hates me.
It's my fault.
I pushed you all away.
Lay in the bed that
you made, right?
Tobes, Tobe
Femi.
I'll see you later. Let
me chat to you. Toby!
Femi. Don't chat to me, man.
What do I pay you for?
I'm going to get it cleaned up.
And as we speak,
I'm having the CCTV footage
downloaded onto a USB.
So, uh, we're going to get it
cleaned straight away, Carol.
And, um, I'm going
to get it sorted.
I'm going to get to the
bottom of it, Carol.
I can promise you
that much, I
I love you, Carol.
Toby, hey. Hello.
You seen what's happened
to Carol's car? Yeah, LOL.
Look, I'm sorry about yesterday.
Something important came up.
Yeah, well, we've all got
important stuff going on, Abby.
Wow, someone's sensitive.
Maybe because I let people down
so I could be stood up in
the toilet like a dickhead.
Well, it's simple, don't let
people down for a quickie.
Well, I thought it was
more than just a quick
I mean, yeah.
I guess I did.
I don't know why.
Not like it would
have been worth it.
KNOCKING Yeah? Ah.
Settling in to your new office?
Mistress. Oh, stop it.
You can call me Carol.
We missed you over the holidays.
Not so much as a phone call.
I know. We got stuck in a tiny,
tiny village north of Bordeaux.
Terrible phone signals.
Just a bit of homework
to take to Rupert.
Carol
Rupert and I are not really
Rupert is struggling, Florence.
He's not doing particularly
well at the moment and
..I just need you
to be there for him.
What have you been
saying to people?
He's on work experience.
Oh, my star head girl.
BOTH: Mwah!
You still thinking about
Cambridge summer school?
Yes, mistress. Carol.
Well, do come and find me
when you need a reference.
That's an order.
Next time, I won't
be giving it back.
PHONE BUZZES
Man like J. Bro,

Now, look, man, you know I wouldn't
have disappeared unless I had to.
I'll explain everything

You're mad right now.
Wait, what? You're coming here?
Right, look, J, I've

In a bit.
Malachi.
Hi, J. Sorry for rocking

It's calm.
You good? Always.

Let's talk about
it inside, innit?
Welcome, everyone.
Places, places, big smiles!
Less teeth. Much less teeth.
They are on to me, man.
I've just got to lay low
elsewhere, you hear me?
Move, bruv!
Cryyyy.
Dev is cool. I just don't think
she's being completely honest.
You know it's OK just to
tell her you like her. Who?
You lot just love playing
games with each other.
Aaah!
I thought you were so over him.
I think he still likes me.
Well, this is exciting.
I'll tell your father to
book you a ticket to Lagos.

intuition finally kicked in?
Can anybody help me?
This was a warning.
