The Barbecue The Dumping Ground

Smile. Eh?

Come on, that's not a smile.

It'll be OK.

Does Carmen know you're here yet?

Yeah, I texted her so she knows I'm coming.

Well, I'm not sure she'd thank you for pointing this at her right now.

Why not?

I only put this new varnish on this morning!

Right, that's it. I'm not doing any more.

"Full," I said.

Yes, I know, but I've got to tidy my room, cos Lily's coming over,

and she's not going to want to stay if it's a mess, is she?

-Come on, now. To the top, yeah?

-Are you being serious?

I hate this place!

It looks like you're digging for treasure.

It's a nice camera.

Thank you. It's new. It's my dad's.

I just hope it's got a big enough memory card.

I don't think you need to worry about that.

You've got bags and bags of memory up there in that head of yours.

Are you all right?

You'll feel better once you've spoken to Carmen.

Oi! Drop the gloves, shrimp.

Me a shrimp? And Tyler's not a shrimp?

You're a girl. That's like double shrimp.

Point that camera at me and you're dead.

Is that a Man U shirt he's got on?

Yeah. He has to wear it all morning cos he lost a bet.

He was knocking rugby players.

May-Li bet him he couldn't score three penalties with a rugby ball.

He scored none.

Bailey.

Stop!

Does anyone know anything about a barbecue?

She does. Look at her face. You know something.

No! No!

Take a picture of me, Lily! Me versus Bailey.

Don't you dare.

Bailey in a Man U shirt. There's one for Frank.

He's still paying for smashing the telly.

-I'm sure it was an accident.

-SHE SCOFFS

Something to say, Tee?

I'll say it.

He kicked the ball right at her.

-Grass.

-It's not grassing, it's just true.

Excuse me, what have I told you about having that ball indoors, huh?

Yeah, take his side.

That's the rules.

Maybe you could take pictures on your phone, if it's bust?

Was it switched off when it went in the water?

Eh, yeah. Yeah, it was.

It might be all right, then.

Just don't turn it on till it's properly dried out.

Eh! My rice!

-It soaks all the water up.

-Camera fried rice.

Have you spoken to Carmen yet?

Weird spud! Weird spud. Look.

Isn't this weird spud?

-You have to...

-Hey, Lily! When did you get here?

What are you two whispering about?

Carmen, in here, please.

-What?

-Carmen, when you are given a chore, you do it.

Mo wanted to help.

-We were digging for gold.

-Shut up.

-Gold?

There's always gold under one potato in every new crop.

THEY CHUCKLE

Carmen said so.

It wasn't even my turn to do the vegetables.

It was meant to be Faith's turn.

Well, sorry for getting run over(!)

You know what? You can make good chips out of this. All sliced up.

No! What's he ever done to you?

Lily, would you mind going out and helping Carmen do the veg, please?

I'm trying to get her to take some responsibility.

Come on, Carmen.

Come here, folks.

Gather round, I've got something I need to tell you.

-Erm, Floss, why don't you go and play?

-Why should you get the gold?

Look, there isn't any, Mo was wrong.

Look, you can have these toffees... if you go.

Just let her dig, go on. Carry on, Floss, you never know.

And remember, put the spuds in this bucket, OK?

Promise me that when we're older and have a flat-share,

we don't have a garden. Not even one with a window box,

-or it'll be you that has to do it all.

-I'll be doing the cooking.

I don't mind cooking, though.

Yeah, but I've got to get good at it.

Why?

OK, erm... You know that...that cafe that Shannay's sister has

down south?

By the seaside? Yeah.

Yeah, that one. She asked my dad and Shannay to run it.

Full time?

Won't that mean they have to live there, though?

Yeah, there's a flat above.

Shannay's sister even said Shadow could go.

She's allergic to dogs, so...

Wait, I almost forgot.

Who does it remind you of?

Shadow.

Except with too many legs.

Can I see?

You don't like it, do you?

No, I love it.

It just looks a bit expensive, that's all.

No, it's off the market.

Lily, they cannot just pack up and move you miles away.

How long does it even take to get there?

Hours.

And what about your sisters?

Does he expect them to pack everything up and come too?

Poppy and Rosie are settled, they're fine where they are.

You're best where you are, Lily.

Have you told your dad this isn't fair?

No, you haven't. Lily, he has messed you around too many times.

Carmen.

You move here, you live there, you live back at the Dumping Ground,

then you live back with him.

-When are you going to tell him it's not fair?

-Carmen.

-Just tell him that you want to stay.

-Listen to me. I want to go!

I want to go.

-Carmen, please.

-Lily! Lily, catch!

Stop! Carmen, please wait!

-It's mine! You're mean!

-You stop teasing him.

-We were just having a joke.

-Well, he doesn't find it funny, does he?

Oh, so. Who cares?

No Man U top, Bailey?

The bet was to wear it all morning.

He's only missed it by an hour.

Missed his penalties by a mile, though.

Why don't you come and sign Lily's goodbye card?

Yeah. That's one less person on my back.

You know what? I think I'll tell her you said that.

That way she'll definitely put that picture of you on the internet.

Or maybe I will.

-HE SCOFFS

-You can forget nicking that.

Call the police.

-It belongs to Lily.

-And?

Now. That's enough. Give me that, please. Now!

Thank you.

If you can't get yourself in a better frame of mind, Bailey,

you might as well stay away from Lily's barbecue.

This is not how she would want to remember us, is it?

Hm? Sit down.

Not that she would want to remember him anyway.

That's not helping.

Carmen?

MUSIC: "Sleep Alone" by Two Door Cinema Club

# Know

# My only goal

# Is to see

# When I'm only fast asleep... #

Carmen, where are you?

# It takes more than strength to find... #

Carmen.

# This peace of mind

-# So I'll hold, hold, hold

-GLASS SHATTERS

# Hold it close to my heart

# Beating with every step

# Hold, hold, hold it close... #

Whoa, whoa, whoa, steady.

-I'm going to kill him!

-What's happened?

It was him. Smashed my window.

-No, I didn't. Mike, have you seen my ball?

-Can you believe him?

It was in the garden and now it's gone. Have you confiscated it?

-No, I haven't.

-You know exactly where your ball is.

Now my room's covered in glass, thanks to you.

-I haven't done anything.

-I saw you.

-Saw me what?

-Kick the ball right at my window.

-No, you didn't.

-You calling me a liar?

-That's enough.

-Yeah, you are.

-I said enough.

-Easy. Easy.

In the office now, please, Johnny, thank you very much.

Go to your room.

-I haven't done nothing.

-We'll talk to you later.

-I know what I saw.

-Come on.

Room, now, please.

Calm down.

Policy number? Yeah, sure, it's T...

Tango, Hotel...

Hotel? This place?

Tango Hotel...Lego. Six, five, three, two.

-M...

-Mardybum.

March.

-How soon can you come out and fix it?

-THL6532M, yeah.

It's for a smashed window. We just need a claim form, please.

Yeah, there's a bit of damage to the window frame too.

An accident? If only it had been, huh?!

Oh. Really? Well, just say it was an accident, then.

Why not?

I realise what I said earlier but you can just tick the other box.

No, it's not a lie, it's...

It's an interpretation.

Brilliant, that's great.

Thanks, well, we'll see you later.

OK. Bye.

You don't record every phone call, do you?

-What time are they coming?

-They just said today.

You do know that this is a care home, yeah?

Fine. Fine. Fine.

Just e-mail me the form, please. Thank you. Goodbye.

Easily over £200, apparently.

Well, it depends on how much damage there is to the window frame.

Yeah, there's damage.

Well, we're in trouble, then.

If it's non-accidental, it's criminal damage.

And we need a crime number or they won't pay out.

A crime number? As in we have to report it?

Yes. And there is no way that I'm going to the police about this.

There you are. I've been looking all over.

Look, Carmen, please don't be angry with me.

I'm not angry.

I just...

I just don't see why you want to go.

To be with my dad, be part of Jonah growing up.

Look, I don't know, it's important.

Aren't your sisters important? Me, the Dumping Ground?

Doesn't what's here add up to more than a dad that's let you down

-more than enough times?

-It's a new start for me, too.

There's a college not far, I can sign up for a catering course.

Maybe one day I'll be a professional cook.

What, and there's no colleges here?

Carmen, we are completely different people.

We want completely different things.

This caff, it feels like...

I don't even know what it feels like.

When I imagine it all, all of us working together, cooking,

making the place feel dead welcoming...

..it's exciting.

Carmen, you won't be sticking around here for long either.

Once you've got enough money and you've left school,

you'll be travelling the world.

Have you told the others?

Mike's telling them.

How long has he known for?

Only a couple of days.

I rang him to say I wouldn't be staying again.

Someone might need the bed.

Wait, so Mike's known for days and you decide to tell me

the day you're going? See, if it had been me,

you know you'd have been the first person I told.

Carmen, I wanted to tell you face-to-face, but...

How can you say that you're going to come and visit when you won't bother

-to cross town to tell me you're going?

-Carmen, I will visit.

-No, you won't.

-Carmen, I have to. Poppy and Rosie are here.

Yeah, that's right, your perfect little family.

If there's any time left, you can come over and give me five minutes.

-I didn't mean that.

-Or stand at the top of the street and wave.

-Carmen, please...

-Leave me alone!

-Do you think they'll make Bailey pay for the window?

-With what?

He'll be forking out for months for the telly,

then there's Lily's dad's camera...

Yeah, but the camera should be all right.

Poor Lily, what a last day, eh?

Didn't they get sausages?

May-Li said they were in the fridge.

No.

We'll have to eat more potatoes then...so give them here.

Hey!

I am only joking.

You're being really quiet - are you OK?

I'm sure they'll sort your room out, yeah?

DOORBELL RINGS

There you are. You need to sign Lily's card.

Do I?

We're looking for a Bailey Wharton.

Can we deal with this internally?

Not if something has been reported to us.

By who?

-Not the insurance company, surely?

-No.

We're not saying you're guilty of anything, it's procedure

and we have to follow it. Did you do this?

You need to be interviewed under caution.

-He thinks he can do whatever he wants.

-I never smashed no window.

Then there's nothing for you to worry about,

but you need to tell us that in the interview.

They can't make him go, can they?

We have to let the police officers do their job.

TUTTING

If anyone saw anything that will help prove

either Bailey was or wasn't involved in this offence,

you'll need to tell us, OK?

You should be grateful no-one called the police

when you used to kick off.

What?

Was it you?

Was it you who called them, Johnny?

Yep!

I never smashed your window!

I suppose you never broke Lily's camera either? Or the telly?

Let's keep things calm, boys, please.

I'm not going anywhere with you, so tough!

Bailey Wharton, I am arresting you on suspicion of causing

criminal damage.

You do not have to say anything,

but it may harm your defence if you fail to mention,

when questioned, something you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be used in evidence.

Go away, Floss.

I want to see the dog.

-What dog?

-The silver dog.

-Floss, get out of my room.

-No.

-Floss, if you don't get out my...

-You smashed the window.

I saw you. I won't say anything...

if you give me the silver dog.

Have it. Now get out.

Ready, Floss?

Big bite for me. That was a big bite, well done.

Smile, Rick, you big cook!

Cheers.

Thank you!

I was waiting ages for that.

-So was I!

-I was first!

-No, you weren't!

At least I get to remember you pair as you usually are - arguing.

Smile, Faith.

-Take one of me, Lily.

-Go get the ball, Johnny.

Hang on a sec. If you want one of Jody, I'll get the biscuit tin.

LAUGHS SARCASTICALLY So funny. Go and get the ball.

Making a nature documentary? Shrimps in the wild?

How come you're back?

Bailed, pending further enquiries - they've got nothing on me.

Yet.

They said I should just admit it, get off with a caution.

But why would I when I didn't do it?

-Johnny saw you.

-You sure about that?

Cos he couldn't have saw what never happened.

You did see him, didn't you, actually kick the ball?

You saw the state of my room.

If you were at the window when you saw him kick it,

then surely you would have got hit?

Oi, Lily. Over here.

What did you actually see?

Johnny?

Lily, take one of me now!

FLOSS: Another one.

Let me see that.

Carmen doesn't want it. Hates it. She gave it to me.

Look, Carmen, I know you are in there.

You not gone yet?

Carmen, I lied about the Shadow charm.

I didn't buy it off the market.

I borrowed my first week's wages off of Shannay.

Are you listening?

Do you know what? You go on about mates.

If you were really a mate, you'd be happy for me.

All you care about is yourself.

Lily, I am not the one who's just turned up, "Oh, by the way,

"I'm leaving and didn't bother to tell you."

I am not the one that threw a present back in your face.

-I didn't.

-Gave it to Floss, then. Same thing.

Lily, I didn't give it to Floss.

Why do you think I bought you that charm?

Because it's me that'll be forgotten, Carmen.

-Lily, I didn't give it to Floss.

-She told me!

I don't care, she can have it.

Have a nice life, enjoy your travelling,

I hope it makes you really happy.

Why do you think I make all these plans about travelling?

I don't even know if that is what I want to do.

You go on about it enough.

Yeah. So I can be the one that's moving away,

instead of everyone else moving away from me,

because that's what happens, isn't it? Everyone leaves.

Now you're just feeling sorry for yourself.

It's you that's pushing people away.

So you are saying I pushed my mum away?

No, you know I didn't mean that.

I've never pushed anyone away and you know that,

people just move on and find something better than me,

which is exactly what you've done.

It's not better. It's just next.

Look, Lily, I never gave it to Floss, OK? She made me.

Yeah, right. Look at the size of her!

-What did she do, kick you in the shins?

-No.

She just saw me do something.

Look, I was upset...

..and I kicked the ball and I bust the window.

Wait, Johnny's window?

Floss saw.

She said if I gave her the bracelet, then she wouldn't tell anyone.

Bailey was arrested.

You watched the police take him away.

Lily, I was upset.

Arrested, Carmen. And you let that happen?

Fine!

What are you doing now?

Mike, take me to the police station. I smashed the window.

-Wait, slow down.

-Don't let her go, this is stupid.

Haven't you got packing to do?

If you don't take me, I'm going to walk.

-At least let me come with you.

-No, thanks.

I'll go.

Carmen, wait!

She's just upset that you're leaving.

Do you know what? I don't even care.

Another one?

It's the same incident, Sergeant, it's all a misunderstanding.

I'm sure.

OK, Carmen, now you are in custody, you have three rights -

the right to a solicitor,

the right to read this fascinating little booklet here,

which tells you our codes of conduct,

and the right to have someone informed that you're here.

Is there anyone you'd like to phone?

PHONE RINGS

What was it you wanted to say to Lily, Floss?

-QUIETLY:

-Sorry.

With a bit of volume.

Sorry. I loved the dog.

It's not a excuse, is it?

Carmen should have been honest about the window, I suppose.

Will you still take my picture?

Give me your best sorry face.

We don't need DNA this time.

Is all this really necessary?

We treat everyone the same.

She's just a kid. She broke a window.

It was an accident.

No, it wasn't.

If she wasn't a care kid... Do you have kids?

Twins. Girls. Drive me round the twist.

And if one broke a window?

Eva did once.

We grounded her for a month.

Felt like it was me being punished not her.

But you didn't need a crime number

or to have her fingerprinted, did you?

We just deal with the allegations.

We'll be with you in a sec, Carmen. Why don't you take a seat?

You should have let us deal with this at home.

I know you're upset about Lily going...

I'm not.

She wants to try something new.

If you care about her, and I know you do,

then you should be trying to make it easier for her, not harder.

Don't go!

This is from everyone.

Everyone?

Carmen didn't get a chance to see it before, erm...

You know, before.

I'll open it later, then.

Erm...

Everyone, let's go and get a last shot, yeah?

We'll have to get a picture of Mike and text it you, yeah?

-And Frank when he shows up.

-Yeah, and Carmen.

OK, erm... I want to see your funniest faces.

Funny faces, yeah?

Yeah. One, two, three. Cheese.

Isn't that supposed to be Mike's?

Tell you what, I won't touch it.

And later on, you can all accuse me of eating it.

Where's Lily?

-I got arrested because of you.

-Carmen - she had to go.

She couldn't wait any longer.

Yeah. Said she was sorry for how things were.

Carmen...you could have Mike's burger.

MIKE: Hey, guess what?

LILY: I forgot my dad's camera. He would go absolutely...

crazy.

Right, everyone, outside.

I'm sure Lily wants to take another photo now everyone's here.

Are you OK?

Yeah.

-Lily, I'm so sorry.

-I'm sorry.

Was it awful at the police station?

I was reprimanded,

but I shouldn't have let Bailey get arrested in the first place.

I should have just owned up.

You must think I'm awful.

Look, you were upset. It doesn't really matter now.

When I was at the police station,

they asked if there was anyone I wanted to phone,

and I just thought if you weren't my friend, then...

I am. Of course I am.

Don't think like that.

Good!

Come here...

Come on! Photo!

-Mo!

-Come on!

MIKE: Come back up the garden. Come on!

Gather round at the top there, please.

Gather round, gather round.

Don't be too hard on Carmen.

It weren't her fault, it was mine.

Look, forgive her and I promise I'll delete that picture

of you in the Man U shirt as soon as my camera's fixed.

-Cross your heart?

-Hope to die.

-Right, gather up.

-We just need Lily. Where is Lily?

I'm here. Thank you.

One, two, three. Lily!

ALL: Lily!

-Wait, give it to me.

-Everybody move out of the way...

Take it!

Thanks.

Listen, I'm, erm...

I'm not going to watch you go...

or say goodbye, OK?

-Bye, Lil.

-Bye, Lily.

See you.

Well, at least we've got a crime number.

The insurance will cover it now.

Bye, Lil!

-CARMEN:

-I'm not going to watch you go...or say goodbye.

Is she crying?

I think it's probably best if we leave her alone for a bit...

..or not.

PHONE DINGS

Whoa! That was so good!

Whoa, gold! I knew it was true!

Look, gold!

Can I keep it?

Yeah, Mo, you can keep it.

HAPPY CHATTER
