Fern is seen struggling and begging to be let go as she is bound to a tree in a forest. Shannon is reading a newspaper about a missing teenage girl named Fern and tries to get her friend Leah's attention about the dangers of social media and meeting strangers online, but Leah does not seem concerned. Leah is texting a boy she met on Facebook while Shannon worries that what happened to Fern could happen to Leah if she isn't more careful about meeting people from social media.

FERN
Please let me go
Fern is seen running through the forest, evidently upset
and trying to escape something that is pursing. She is
pictured bound to a tree in the final clip of her.

Let me go, just let me go, please, please, let
me go.

CUTS TO
INT. SIXTH FORM COMMON ROOM SOFAS – AFTERNOON
Shannon is sat reading a newspaper with a picture of Fern
as a missing teenager on the front page. Her friend Leah
is sat on the opposite end of the sofa, going through her
phone and not listening to Shannon.
SHANNON
Hey Skye!
Skye continues to be on her phone.
SHANNON
SKYE!
Skye finally looks up.
SHANNON
Have you heard about this girl called
charlotte?
LEAH
Who is she?
2. SHANNON
She looks familiar. She’s a 17-year-old girl,
who’s gone missing. She’s the first student to
go missing, in what has been called a dark age
on our streets.
(No reaction from Leah)
It’s serious.
She was last seen by her friends and CCTV
follows her boarding a bus towards Bentley
priory.
LEAH
(Long pause) We don’t know her.
SHANNON
I know but still. Who you texting?
LEAH
That boy I met on Facebook.
SHANNON
Oh, here you go, this will be funny. Social
networks such as Facebook, twitter and tumbler,
have been blamed for recent abductions and
attacks on young people. Are you listening?
Skye this could be you one day! Do you not
realize that?
LEAH
It’s not exactly gonna be me is it.
SHANNON
Well you never know!
Shannon exits angrily, clearly annoyed at Leah’s blasé
attitude. Leah opens out the paper and begins to read.
