out there.

That's all I'm asking.

Just let me out.

No. No. Now...

Don't you even think about that!

- Aah!

- You f***ing...

Aah! Ohh!

- Get off me!

- Unhh!

Unhh!

Aahh!

Get off! Uhh!

Get the f*** off me!

- You stay back.

- Get off!

Fine. He's all yours.

Ow!

Oh, God!

Let him up!

They say you want to talk.

Leave us.

I'll be fine.

Nigel set me up.

How do you figure that?

You have to believe me.

He set the whole thing up

to make it look like I did it.

Nigel set it up to make it look

like you killed him.

I think you can do better than that.

I didn't kill him.

You don't exactly come across

as the victim here, Alex.

Feel that?

Can you feel that?

He's here.

He's listening.

He's watching.

Who, Alex?

Shh!

Listening.

Listen.

All rise!

# Onward, Christian soldiers #

# Marching as to war #

# With the cross of Jesus #

# Going on before #

# Christ, the royal... #

Have you ever had that feeling

that there was someone inside your head,

listening to your thoughts?

I read this article on twinning

about how two people

can communicate across countries

through the mind.

Now, just imagine if that were true.

Your darkest secrets

floating out there like radio waves,

just waiting to be picked up on.

There was something about this guy.

#... Jesus #

# Going on before #

Be seated.

Now...

it's come to my attention that some boys

from, um...

What?

Do you two have

something important to contribute?

Hmm? Campbell? Forbes?

Stand up and share with us

whatever it is that obviously can't wait

until after this assembly.

Campbell, do your tie

up properly.

Well? Campbell?

Nothing, sir.

Forbes?

Oh, nothing important, I suppose.

Both of you,

outside my office after assembly.

Be seated.

Now, it's come to my attention

that some of the boys in year-12 drama

will be performing

the Tennyson play Beckett this term,

and they're looking for volunteers

for props and stage building.

Will you calm down?

Nobody on the train could've possibly

known where we're from.

Will you just relax, please?

Inside.

I do recognize your academic achievements

this year, both of you,

but why do you insist on bucking the system?

Hmm?

Be seated.

Till recently, I've always been able

to rely on both of you to set a good example.

Come on.

I beg your pardon?

Well, if that was the case,

then I wouldn't be having

a freak in my room, would I?

Most of your fellow students

have three boys to a room.

I don't think you're too hard done by, Forbes.

Most of my fellow students have a real home

away from this hellhole.

I'm putting your names down to help

with this year-12 play.

Oh, no. I don't have time for this bullshit.
