" Everyone, this is Rhydian Morris." " You smell like my parents." "He could expose us all." "It's got to be cool having a family you can be yourself around." "Rhydian's in foster care?" "Poor lad, imagine going through all that on your own." "I thought something smelled funny!" "Got a problem, Leek Boy?" " What on earth is going on here?" " I'm so sorry." "I don't need help!" "That monster's real and I'm going to prove it!" " You're like me." " I'm not like you!" "You may be like me, but you think the same as them." "What I turn into, that's better than anything I've ever known" "And I'm not letting anyone take that away from me." "I'm just fed up of lying." "I can't even tell my friends who I really am." "And we're going to the Man U game." " He's not on call or anything then?" " No." "He promised to make it this time." "No emergencies, no distractions." "Just me and my dad." " Let's see your drawing, Rhydian." " Yeah, I bet it's brilliant." "What's that got to do with family?" "That's just spooky." "And weird." "Rhydian, stop it." "Is that "normal" enough for you?" "You're not actually going to listen to them, are you?" "Why not?" "You do." "Pretending to be something you're not." "You're just like them." "Pretty and fake." "The question, "What does family mean in the 21st Century?"" "is been something we've been exploring across different subject areas this term." "We are very proud of our students' work and I'm sure you will be too." "Shine the light to reveal what made me who I am?" "It's ultraviolet." "Did you consider using a barium silicate lamp" " for a higher spectral range?" " Yeah." " Is that your mum?" " Yeah" "She wore this the night dad asked her to marry him." " That jacket?" " Yeah." "She'd kill me if she knew I had it on." "All this football." "I'd never guess it was yours." "It's lovely, Tom." "So, er..." "is your mum not here?" " No." "She's working late." "But Dad will be here soon." " Good." "Ah, very inventive." " Was this when you were Player Of The Year?" " Yeah." "Who's damaged this?" "He, erm, had some issues with the subject matter." "Poor kid." "We need to get him round more, make sure he knows he's welcome any time, right?" "Mum!" "For the past two weeks, he thought he was the only Wolfblood in the world." "Give him some time to adjust, will you?" "Listen." "Rhydian needs to be round his own kind." "Pack animals don't do well on their own." "Here, didn't you used to have a jacket like that?" "Wait for me!" "You're not wearing that to Bernie's are you?" "Why not?" "Because it's horrible." "You might get food on it, you should leave it here." "Yeah." "Pick it up Monday." "Hang on." "Is your dad still not here?" "He's stuck in traffic." "He'll be here soon, it's cool." "Well, have a great weekend." " Take care." "See ya." " Bye." "And the third goal was ridiculous!" "From 20 yards out, he was, like, bang!" "What happened?" "Mum's jacket!" "Who would do this?" "Mum's going to kill me!" "No-one is supposed to be in here!" "Just don't touch anything." "What happened, sir?" "Someone came back here Friday night, after the exhibition closed." "What about the security cameras?" "All we have is a glimpse of someone running away." "At that speed, in the dark, it could be anyone." "This school has a zero-tolerance policy towards vandalism." "If school property is not treated with respect, then privileges will be withdrawn from the entire school." "The end of term disco is cancelled." " Sir!" "You can't do that!" " Unless the vandal is found." "So if any of you know anything, now is your chance to speak up." "Mum and Dad fly back for their anniversary on Friday." "Maybe she won't look in the wardrobe?" "They're having an '80s party, what do you think Mum's planning to wear?" "The jacket." "It's all your fault, for making me leave it here!" "You shouldn't have worn it in the first place!" "Stop it, OK!" "We just need to find another jacket." "Hey, Leek Boy!" "Is it true you smashed up the darkroom on your first day?" "I knocked some stuff over." "What do you care?" " Where were you Friday night?" " It's none of your business." "If you're innocent, tell us where you were." "I can tell you where he was." "I saw him, skulking round the playground like a burglar." "Is this true?" "Why pretend to go home and then come back?" "Yeah, Welshie!" "Unless..." "Hands." "Like you care." "You think it was me as well." " Was it?" " No, it wasn't!" "OK, I know you were there." " I seen you at the window." " Well, yeah." "I got here, I looked in, and saw you and your parents." "Why didn't you come in?" "Just, you know." "I'm not ready for all that." "All right." "I believe you." "Thanks a bunch." "Not that it matters." "I'm just going to get blamed for everything anyway." "Not if we find the person who actually did it." "How?" "I don't know yet, but I'm not going to stand round while the wrong person gets accused." "If he is the wrong person." "What?" "We're taking Jimi's word now?" "You might not trust him, but I believe him." "And he's family." "We need evidence." "We found one!" "It's that place in Framden." "I can get Dad to drive us over there tomorrow." "Kara's getting them to put it aside." " And how much is it?" " I've got some birthday money left." " And I can get my allowance early." " I've got 30 quid in the bank." "Right, we'll get back to you." "£250!" "All right, Sherlock, now what?" "Follow the motive." "If we can work out why someone did this, we can work out who." "If all the best paintings are damaged, the vandal was jealous." "If one person's work had been picked on, the vandal has a grudge against them." "Tom." "Who have you fallen out with recently?" "What am going to do?" "Mum'll go nuclear, she'll probably send me to that super-strict boarding school on TV." "I'll have to wear a pinafore!" "Try my new mascara." "A makeover always cheers me up." "I don't think a makeover is going to solve this, Kay!" "Want to bet?" "Psst!" "You look like a really nice girl." "Which is so last season." " Amazing!" " Spectacular!" " You like?" " Yeah!" "And only five quid!" "I don't have five quid!" "How much have you got?" "Tell your mates to come and we'll let you off the rest." "OK!" "Another 50 like her and your mum has a new jacket!" "50?" "Call this pizza?" "My chemistry textbook tastes better." " You just got spoilt in Manchester." " What?" "The pizza place." "Where you and your dad went." "Oh, yeah, that." "It's brilliant." "Design your own pizza." "Anything you want!" "It was amazing." "You're in trouble, Welshie." " Is that right?" " You'll see." "You lot should definitely try it out." "It was brilliant." "Whatever, Tom." "And there was this guy playing bongos in the corner..." "Look, Rhydian." "I know you're angry, but don't take it out on Tom." "Tom's a lot angrier than I am right now." "Just ask him." "What are you talking about?" "Look at him." "Really look at him." "He's obviously lying about something." "It's a cold day today." "Nobody else is sweating." "So why is he?" "And you should be able to pick out his heartbeat, it's easily the fastest." "Are you sure this works?" "Normal humans get hunches when someone's lying." "I just learnt to do it better." "And when you have a new home and a new school every few weeks, it's really useful knowing who's telling the truth." "Yeah." "Except Tom wouldn't lie." "Sounds like you had the greatest weekend ever, mate!" "Yeah." "Best weekend ever." "Five quid thanks, next!" "You wanted to speak to me about something?" "I thought you might want to tell us what really happened this weekend." "Did you and your Dad have a fight?" "No." " Tom, I know something happened." " We didn't fight, Mads!" "He just never turned up." "He sent me a text." "Saying how he couldn't make it." "He's been trying to ring all weekend, but I told Mum I didn't want to speak to him." "Did he say why?" "He let me down, again." "Does it even matter why?" "They're letting everyone take their art, so I got yours and Mads'." "Keep it." "Sorry, but I need to speak to Rhydian Morris." " Nice one, Jimi." " He'll be expelled, for sure." "I don't feel very well, Sir!" "You were seen hanging around on Friday night." "I came." "Then I changed my mind." "So, Mr and Mrs Vaughan." "They drove you here, and back?" "I made my own way." "You walked." "From Stoneybridge?" "Don't call me a liar!" "Rhydian!" "Calm down!" "Act natural." "Don't let on that you can hear me." "What happened on Friday night was a serious matter, Rhydian." " A criminal matter." " I didn't do it!" "You need to calm down." "Shut up!" "I beg your pardon!" "You can't just accuse me." "I'm simply asking you, young man, to explain where you were and why." "I'm trying to help you, Rhydian," "Keep breathing" "Keep breathing and stay calm." "Just think about lying in a green field, in the sun." "What exactly is so funny about that?" "You are trying my patience." "Rhydian?" "Are you OK?" "Last chance, Rhydian." "Where were you on Friday?" "OK." "What you need to say is..." "I said, I came on my own," "Maddy's parents gave me a lift home." "Yeah." "That's right, call them." "They'll back me up." "Hello?" "Mr Jeffries!" "What's the matter?" "It seems you were telling the truth." "You cut that a bit fine, young lady." "Yeah." "Sorry, Mam." "Thanks." ""Think about lying in a green field."" "How lame is that?" " It worked, didn't it?" " Yeah." "Well, now Jeffries knows it wasn't me, it's not our problem." "Actually, it is." "Tom was the last to leave the building on Friday." "Tom?" "His marvellous weekend in Manchester?" "Never happened." "His dad never showed up." "Told you he was lying." "And his artwork was the worst damaged." "Photos of him and his dad." "So talk to him." "Better coming from you than someone else." "Couldn't save Leek Boy this time, could you?" "I didn't need to." "He didn't do it." "Ultraviolet!" "Can you remember Kara's ultraviolet painting?" "The ink was spilled everywhere." "The vandal must have trodden in it." "So they won't have washed it off." "Because they don't know it's there!" "How are you going to check everybody's shoes?" "Dog-dirt detector!" "Show us your shoes!" "You're just going to confront him?" "I don't have any choice." "If she gets near him with that UV light..." " Show us your shoes!" " Any luck?" "We need to talk about Friday." "What really happened." "What?" "I know you were the last one to leave school." "You're kidding me." "You really think I'd do that to other people's work?" " I wouldn't" " I'm just trying to help you." "If you really think it is me..." "..check it yourself." "Thanks, Mads!" "Some friend you are!" "Tom." "Could we, you know, have a chat about Friday?" "We could go for a burger." "It's all right, your mum knows I'm here." "It's not "all right"!" "You let me down, again!" "You promised there wouldn't be any emergencies." "I know, but this wasn't hospital business, it was a family emergency." "So your new precious baby is family, and I'm not, yeah?" "Tom, wait!" "Tom, please!" "Maddy." "I was trying to explain." "You let him down with a text, Mr Okanawe." "We were on the way to hospital." "Grace, our baby, she was ill, really ill." "I didn't want to let Tom down, but what choice did I have?" "And now he won't even listen!" "Why don't you let me talk to him?" "I don't know where he's gone." "I suspect I can find him." "I thought I'd find you here." "Tom, I'm sorry." "I jumped to conclusions." "I shouldn't have accused you." "Well, no, you shouldn't have." "I just spoke to your dad." "Grace was ill." "No surprise there." "All he ever talks about is her." ""Grace can smile, Grace can crawl, Grace can sit up."" ""Want to meet your little sister?" I never wanted a half-sister!" "All I want is my dad." "Well... sometimes others need the people we love more than us." "I mean, if he'd come to meet you instead of getting Grace to the hospital and something had happened." "Yeah, I know." "It's just sometimes..." "I need him too, Mads." "I think he understands that." "Why don't we go back and see what he's got to say?" "Well, that can't be everyone." "I never saw Kay and her mates, or Ryan Boswell." "We're bound to have missed people." "Let's try again tomorrow, yeah?" "I'll take this back." "Push off, Leek Boy!" "I just want to know why you did it." "Get lost!" "Did you do all that damage just to get me in trouble?" "NO!" " You've had it in for me since I arrived." "You told Jeffries I was here that night." "You think everything's about you, don't you?" "Poor little orphan boy!" "You don't know how lucky you are!" "No-one telling you you're not good enough, you're a disappointment." "If that's a family, who needs one?" "Next time you lose your temper, smash up your own things." "Off to tell on me, are you?" "He doesn't have to." " £38.50?" " Check it yourself if you don't believe me." "All those makeovers, and that's all we made!" "So, with our allowances and the birthday money." "We still won't have anywhere near enough!" "Hey, Jimi, you're loaded." "Lend us 100 quid." "What is all this?" "Sorry." "But her mum's jacket got ruined when the art show was smashed up." "We're going to buy her a new one, but it's going to cost £250." "That is a very sad story." "Here." "Let me help." "Should be enough." "Thank you!" "Thank you so much!" "This is brilliant!" "Don't thank me, thank Jingguo." "It's all coming out of his allowance for the next six months." "Take me to Mr Jeffries' office." "So, how's Grace?" "She's improving." "You should come and meet her soon." "Spend the weekend with us." "All of us." "OK." "But you'll actually have to turn up, though." "Still fancy that burger?" "And Jimi confessed?" "Just like that?" "Must be my charming personality." "Do you think he'll get expelled?" "Not my call." "He deserves it." "Trying to get you done for it." "Jimi's got problems of his own." "Like what?" "His family's loaded." "All families have problems." "It's nothing to do with money." "Yeah." "Maybe I'm the lucky one, being on my own." "You're not on your own." "I've got to go." "You're on the brink of transforming." "How are you going to cope with a whole week of exams?" "As you know, the week's exams will start with maths." " You worry too much, Thomas." " Uh-huh?" "I have a plan." "Oh, no!" "Urgh!" "What is that?" " I think..." " Come on, Kaz, you can tell us anything." "How many more times are you going to let him down, Maddy?" "I've just got a little bit to deal with than babysitting Tom today, OK?" "Hey, Shan!" "Do you have any idea what'll happen if we get caught?" "I think..." "I might be.."
