School's Out Forever

Sir. Um...

-Sir... -Master Keegan,

this is a letter to your parents

explaining the circumstances of your suspension.

That's mental.

You'remental.

You disrupted an entire block during class.

You absolutely terrified Mrs. Stapleton.

OK. Well, I'm glad I got this opportunity

to tell my side of the story.

There is no story.

I disagree.

I think there is a story.

I think there's a story of when a faculty

repeatedly hands out detentions to students

for sitting on top of dangerous lockers

that could fall over at any moment,

when actually it's a health and safety management issue,

and if you just screwed the lockers to the walls,

they wouldn't be dangerous, but you don't.

And I think it's because you're worried about reducing the value

of your grade-whatever listed building,

that one day you'll probably sell for billions

and then divide that amongst the shareholders.

That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

You haven't been in Mrs. Stapleton's class.

You don't give a toss about the lockers, Lee.

You just like to cause trouble. It's childish.

This is St. Mark's. We don't indulge children, we make men.

You of all people should appreciate that.

A scholarship here is rare, Lee.

Very rare.

You don't realize how lucky you are.

Hopefully you will now.

Come in.

Yes, Mr. Bates?

Keegan's bag, Headmaster.

Thank you.

Is there something else?

Oh, Lee.

You planted that?

Lee.

Where are you going?

Home. For good this time.

No.

That's mental.

Yeah, it wasn't for the prank, either.

Oh, and if you want your weed back,

you'll have to go and have a chat with the Headmaster.

-Zero tolerance policy. -Lee. Get in.

Wait, wait, wait. I can do something.

-Maybe if I talk to him-- -He won't want you involved.

Lee!

Wait.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Why?

Well, I'm just sorry you had to come and pick me up.

It's not your fault, is it?

Bell ends!

I'm...

I mean, no, it's not my fault.

Thanks.

There's no need to thank me. I wasn't gonna leave you there.

They said I had to show you this.

Shh! Shh!

That's all very well,

but the question people are asking me

is, are we closing the borders?

We're looking at all options and...

It's a yes or no question, Minister. Yes or no?

The situation is obviously developing very fast.

Borders, yes or no?

That's not the way

we've ever responded to a pandemic, and...

Are we going to quarantine the country?

If you won't let me answer...

Two weeks ago, Minister, there were people dropping dead

in Europe, two weeks ago.

Since the first reported cases...

What would you suggest, then, Minister?

Jesus, bloody government.

Could this be a terrorist act?

Why can't you just say "closing the borders"?

I wish you would answer a question.

How about my first one? Borders, yes or no?

I mean, when we look at various precedents...

What was it you wanted to show me?

Um...

Nothing, really.

Just a, uh, video with a cute cat.

I don't think your mum's coming home this summer, Lee.

- Mum? - Lee! Thank God.

Lee. Are you OK?

He's really bad, Mum.

Lee, listen to me.

You can't catch it.

Understand?

You don't need to be scared anymore, love.

You're gonna be OK.

And... what about Dad?

There's no cure.

Lee? Baby.

It's your blood. You're O negative.

Only O negatives are immune.

It's rare. You get that from me.

I'm so sorry, Lee.

Your dad is gonna die.

Please don't hate me.

You can't be alone, Lee.

You have to be somewhere safe, with people you trust.

Seems fine here.

What about school? Lee? St. Mark's.

I, uh... I can't go back there.

Why not?

Just the people, you know? They're just...

Come on, it isn't the time, Lee.

Go to St. Mark's.

I'm not asking.

Hello?

This is occupied.

Shit.

Oh, shit!

Shit, shit, shit!

Come on! Come on!

Come on!

I'm gonna have you now!

I'll fuckin' have you now, you bastard!

For once, Lee,

for once just do what I tell you.

Will you go to St. Mark's? Wait for me there.

Just wait for me.

I'll get home, I promise. And, Lee...

Be a good boy.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello? Sir?

Help.

Hello, Lee.

Hello, Nurse.

It's Matron now, thank you.

-Prick. -Sorry?

Such a waste.

We didn't even know he was still here.

Matron died and he just...

took off his ring...

and never said a word about it.

But he must have really missed her.

Funny, he was always such a pervert when she was around.

We?

Well, it's not just you and me, Lee.

B3 to 5-7, or we can go

B32, B3-4-5, B5-5-4.

Used to be a nightmare,

but it's obviously pretty clear now.

Anyway, we are going to take the lesser routes,

because the main roads will be blocked or dangerous.

I will take this, just in case.

I am the only one to handle it, understood?

Lee Keegan.

Sir.

You're on probation.

OK, remember, we're looking for food with a long shelf life.

That's packaged goods.

So, forget organic, forget fresh.

It's the opposite of everything you've been taught in food tech.

And I suggest we go out in...

Yes, Lee?

Sorry, sir, it's just,

how do we know there's anything left at Tesco?

It's just that it's pretty mad out there.

I passed a few shops on the way here

and they were empty already.

And Tesco's is, like, the first place you'd go to, so...

Well, we have to try, Lee.

Every little helps.

Mac.

You are vice-cap on this mission.

Keep up the rear and keep everyone together.

-Lee's short third man. -I don't know what that means.

It means get on the team, man.

Exactly.

Now, boys, I know, I know it's been tough.

But we have everything we need here.

You may not feel it now, but this old place

is still giving you all a head start.

Help us!

- Help us! - Mr. Hammond?

Someone's coming.

Jane, please, you need to hide us.

Calm down, Mr. Hammond.

Help us, Ken!

Lock it.

Sir, do you have the key?
