The Dumping Ground series two episode one
Introduction
There's a children's care home in Newcastle called Elmtree house, but the kids who live there call it the Dumping ground, because they've all been dumped there by someone. There are two care workers in total at Elmtree house and they are called Mike Milligan and Gina Conway. There are thirteen young people all together who live in Elmtree house.
Chapter one
Johnny Taylor woke up from his sleep to find his two friend's Carman Howle and Lily Kettle facing him. Johnny quickly gets out of his bed and he faces the two girls.
"Tee's gone missing!" Carman informs Johnny.
Johnny immediately falls into panic.
"Alert Mike and Gina!" He demands the two girls.
All of a sudden Tee jumps out of Johnny's wardrobe to scare him.
"APRIL FOOLS!" Lily, Carman and Tee laugh at Johnny together.
Johnny isn't left happy at all by the girl's humours and therefore he doesn't agree to laugh with them.
"If you'll all excuse me I need to go out for a run!" Johnny informs the three girls.
All of a sudden Faith Davies makes her way into his room.
"Are you ready Johnny I want to go?" She informs him.
Johnny then shakes his head in response to Faith's informing question.
"No these idiots are stopping me from getting dressed!" He tells her in response to her information.
Faith then rounds on the three girls.
"Come on girls leave Johnny alone," she tells them all.
Tee, Lily and Carman then all begin to disappear out of Johnny's bedroom one by one.
Chapter two
All the kids from the Dumping ground gather round the kitchen table in Elmtree house for breakfast, all accept from Johnny Taylor and Faith Davies who have gone out for a run together. There is no Mike or Gina there to greet the young kids while they sit down for their breakfast.
"Where are Mike and Gina?" Floss Guppy questions Harry Jones.
Harry then shrugs his shoulders in response to Floss' question. Elektra Perkins then turns to face the two youngest children (Harry and Floss).
"This will be Mike's idea of an April fools he'll try and trick us all into thinking that he's not coming in, when really he'll be in the office," she tells them both.
Jody Jackson then races out of the kitchen in response to Elektra's words to try and find both Mike and Gina in the office. Carman then turns excitedly to face Lily at the breakfast table.
"I think we're home alone!" She informs her in excitement.
Suddenly the doorbell rings out throughout the house, and everyone turns to young Mo to answer the door. Mo then struggles to his feet off his chair round the table, and he then disappears out of the room.
Chapter three
The young lad Mo with no sense of fashion who has dark black hair and glasses slowly answers the front door of Elmtree house. A lady with dark black long straight hair, with very slightly tanned skin and wearing a black leather jacket is stood behind the door.
"Hi I'm Tracy Beaker I used to work here," the lady informs Mo.
Johnny Taylor and Faith Davies then hurry into sight out the house. Johnny is amazed to discover just who's returned to the Dumping ground.
"Tracy!" Johnny cries out in great delight.
Hearing the familiar voice Tracy turns round to face Johnny, and she gives him a little smile. Mo then gives Tracy a little hug, because he likes to give every new person he meets a little hug.
"Welcome!" Mo says happily to Tracy.
Johnny doesn't take his eyes away from Tracy he looks at her continuously.
"Welcome home, don't take it personally Mo hugs everyone!" Johnny informs Tracy.
Beaker then looks at Taylor desperately in the eyes in panic.
"I need to find Mike!" Tracy informs Johnny in a desperate tone of panic.
Mo then shakes his head at Tracy.
"Mike hasn't turned up for work today," he explains to her.
Tracy is left off course a little bit surprised by Mo's words, because she knows that it isn't like Mike to be late for work. Suddenly a police officer marches into the garden. The officer immediately turns to address Tracy, because she's the oldest. Faith then turns to face Johnny.
"Take Mo back inside," she tells him in a gentle tone.
Johnny then grabs Mo firmly by the arm and he leads him back into the house. Faith then turns back to face both Tracy and the police officer.
"Look officer you're better off talking to someone else other than me, I haven't been here in a long time and I haven't seen or heard from Mike Milligan in a long time," she informs him.
The officer then turns abruptly to face Faith.
"Then I'll proceed and talk to you young lady!" He snaps sharply at her.
The officer and Faith make direct eye contact with one another.
"I regret to inform you young lady that Mr Michael Milligan and Miss Gina Conway have both gone missing, and this is not an April fools repeat this is not an April fools!" He informs her.
Faith then exchanges terrified looks with Tracy.
"Thank you for bringing this to our attention officer!" Davies thanks the police inspector.
The officer then folds his arms.
"I must question all the young people to see what they know about Michael and Gina's disappearances," he says.
Tracy then shows the officer into the care home. Faith follows both Tracy and the inspector into Elmtree house.
Chapter four
Johnny Taylor makes his way into the kitchen in Elmtree house, and he looks directly at Elektra Perkins.
"You'll never guess who's just returned to the Dumping ground Tracy Beaker," Johnny informs Elektra.
Perkins is left surprised by Taylor's information as is everyone else in the kitchen.
"AGAIN!" Lily Kettle says in response to Johnny's information in a surprised tone.
Tracy Beaker then appears out of nowhere in the kitchen before all the young people. All the young people are all amazed to find her standing before them.
"Who are you?" Young Floss questions Tracy in a troubled tone.
Guppy's never met Beaker before today. Tracy smiles at Floss.
"I'm the woman who's going to find you all both Mike Milligan and Gina Conway!" She informs her.
The police officer takes a seat on the sofa in the comfortable sitting room. Frank Matthews' is the first young person to enter the room to speak with the inspector. The officer gestures Frank to take a seat opposite him in the room. The young lad neverously takes a seat down on a sofa opposite the inspector's sofa in the room.
"I believe I'm now speaking to a Mr Frank Matthews'," the inspector says to the young lad.
Frank then nods his head neverously in response to the officer's words. Tracy Beaker then enters the room carrying a tray with two warm drinks on it and two little biscuits on it. Tracy hands a cup of coffee each over to Frank and the inspector. Frank begins to drink his coffee slowly; he isn't a real coffee person.
"So Mr Frank Matthew's what can you tell me about the disappearance of Mr Michael Milligan and Miss Gina Conway?" The officer questions Frank.
Frank looks neverously from the inspector to Tracy.
"Maybe it's better if I wasn't here," Tracy tells the officer.
The inspector then nods his head in agreement to Tracy's words.
"Go and remind all the young people that I'd like a word with them all," he tells her.
Beaker then disappears out of the room in response to the inspector's words. Frank clears his throat loudly.
"I can't tell you much sorry officer, all I know is that everything's just gone a little bit weird with Mike going missing and Tracy returning," he tells the inspector.
The inspector appears to be listening carefully to everything that Frank is telling him.
"Are you suggesting that Miss Beaker is responsible for the disappearances?" The officer questions Matthews'.
Frank then nods his head in response to the inspector's question. The officer then jumps to his feet and he storms angrily out of the room.
Chapter five
The outraged police officer locates Tracy Beaker hanging the washing out in the garden of Elmtree house. Tracy gives the officer a nervous little smile, because he appears to be quite a scary man.
"Have you spoken to the children?" Beaker questions the inspector.
The officer then shakes his head angrily in response to Tracy's question.
"Miss Tracy Beaker I'm arresting you on the suspicion of murdering Mr Michael Milligan and Miss Gina Conway!" The inspector yells angrily at Tracy as he slaps a pair of handcuffs firmly onto her wrists.
Tracy can't quite actually believe what's suddenly happening, she can't quite take it in that she's all of a sudden being arrested.
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU PLAYING AT? MIKE IS LIKE A FUCKING FATHER TO ME WHY THE HELL WOULD I MURDER HIM, AND AS FOR GINA YEAH I BELIEVE HER TO BE A RIGHT PAIN IN THE BUM HOLE, BUT I WOULDN'T EVER MURDER HER!" Tracy tries to explain herself to the officer in an inpatient roar.
Off course the inspector chooses to ignore everything that the disgusted Beaker is telling him. The officer leads Tracy angrily into the kitchen where all the children are now having lunch.
"I'm being arrested!" Beaker informs the children angrily.
Frank then rounds angrily on Tracy.
"Where's Mike?" He demands an answer from her in anger.
Tee then rounds disgustedly on Frank.
"Tracy didn't kill him!" She snarls angrily at him.
Johnny then rounds on the officer.
"Leave Tracy alone she didn't kill Mike I did!" He informs him in a lie.
Everyone then believes Johnny's information (all accept from Tracy), and they're all left horrified by his information. The police officer then releases Tracy and he arrests Johnny. Taylor has just managed to save Beaker.
"Can't you see you're making a mistake Johnny just told you that he murdered both Mike and Gina to save me, but I'm not guilty and neither is he!" Tracy tries to tell the police officer in a sharp tone.
Elektra then turns to face Tracy.
"Johnny must be guilty or why would the officer arrest him?" She questions her.
Tracy then points to her own head with her finger.
"Because the police officer is not right in the head," she tells Elektra.
Johnny himself then turns to face Elektra.
"I have always loved you," he informs her.
Everyone is then left both surprised and shocked by Johnny's information, Elektra more than anyone else. The police officer then allows Johnny to share a loving kiss with Elektra on the lips, before leading him both firmly and roughly out the room and out the house.
Chapter six
Tee Taylor finds Frank Matthews' sitting angrily on his bed in his bedroom listening to his headphones. Frank looks up in anger when he watches Tee enter his room.
"Sorry I can't believe Tracy allowed Johnny to take the blame for her like that;" Matthews' makes an apology to Taylor.
Tee can't believe Frank's words and she pulls a shocked face at him.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you being like this blaming a friend for killing a friend? Why are you blaming Tracy for killing Mike? Do you really think Tracy Beaker has it in her to kill the man who's like a father to her?" Taylor questions Matthews' in anger.
Frank then looks up at Tee in sadness.
"Jade's broken up with me," he informs her in a tone of sadness.
Instead of feeling sorry for him Tee just feels angrier towards Frank.
"So you take your anger out on Tracy!" Tee shouts at Frank in an angry strong tone.
Elektra then makes her way into Frank's room and Tee turns to face her.
"It seems my brother loves you," Miss Taylor informs Miss Perkins.
Elektra lets out a sweet little laugh in response to Tee's information.
"Imagine that me and Johnny an item!" Perkins laughs.
Frank then looks up at Elektra.
"Move on that boy will never be allowed out of prison now!" He tells her in a snap.
Tee then looks at Frank disgustedly in the eyes.
"I hate you!" She informs him in a tone of disgust.
Frank then throws his phone angrily at Tee.
"GET OUT MY ROOM!" He roars out at her in a terrifying tone.
Tee then quickly flees from Frank's room. Elektra then rounds on Frank.
"You're responsible for all this Mike and Gina going missing, Tracy nearly getting arrested and Johnny getting arrested! I heard you telling Mike to go and find Liam yesterday, Liam's gone mate, he's been gone for two years now, why can't you just get over him? I thought Rick was your best mate now at least that's what you keep telling him. You knew deep down this morning while talking to the police officer that Tracy didn't kill Mike, and you told him that she did. You're horrible! You're a traitor! Fix your mess Mr Matthews' if you still can!" She demands him.
Frank then launches himself angrily at Elektra.
"YOU ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE WHAT THEY SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT DO! YOU ALWAYS HURT PEOPLE AND NOW YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL GUILTY! I'M A BETTER PERSON THAN YOU ANYDAY! I HEARD YOU ENCOURAGING THE POLICE MAN TO ARREST JOHNNY, I SAW YOU THROW LIAM OVER THE POOL TABLE ALL THOSE YEARS AGO, I WATCHED WHILE YOU GAVE TYLER A HARD TIME LAST YEAR, TELLING HIM THAT HE WAS NOT RIGHT IN THE HEAD, I SAW YOU STEAL ALL JOHNNY'S MONEY LAST YEAR, I OBEYED YOUR ORDERS TO LOCK HIM IN THE SHED, AND I KNOW THAT YOU ALWAYS TRY YOUR HARDEST TO GET PEOPLE INTO TROUBLE! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME ELEKTRA! I'M FALLING APART! MY GIRLFRIEND'S JUST LEFT ME NOT THAT ANYONE CARES, MY GRANDDAD LEFT ME, AND YES ALRIGHT I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING HE DIED, BUT IN A WAY HE STILL LEFT ME, AND MY BEST FRIEND LIAM WHO WAS LIKE A BROTHER TO ME DOESN'T WANT TO KNOW ME ANYMORE!" Frank rages at the top of his head at Elektra in anger.
Perkins then slaps Matthews' full on in the face.
"Pull yourself together Frank! You're special to all of us especially Liam, isn't Liam's brother quite ill at the moment, and he needs some support of you, but where are you to give that support oh yeah that's right out with Jade if who I recall has now left you. One girl wow one girl has left you, Frank there are hundreds upon hundreds of girls in the world just waiting for a spare bloke like you, yeah you've lost a girl get over it move on, and until you've moved on help me, Tee and Tracy bail Johnny out of prison and help us all to find Mike and Gina!" She commands him.
Frank looks at Elektra in the eyes.
"Will you go out on a date with me?" He asks her.
Elektra then shakes her head in response to Frank's question.
"I'm taken by Johnny," she informs him in response to his question.
Frank then winks at Elektra friendly in the eyes.
"Congratulations for finding someone, Johnny's a lucky man," he tells her.
Elektra then shrugs her shoulders in response to Frank's words.
"He won't be a lucky man if he doesn't get out of prison," she says to him.
Chapter seven
Elektra Perkins and Frank Matthews' find Tracy Beaker and Tee Taylor together in the kitchen of Elmtree house. Elektra looks at Tracy directly in the eyes.
"Frank has decided to help us rescue Johnny and find Gina and Mike!" She informs her.
Frank then looks at Tee sweetly and apologetically in the eyes.
"Sorry for what I did getting Johnny arrested and throwing the phone of you!" He apologises to her.
Tee then shares a loving kiss with Frank on the lips.
"Apology accepted!" She promises him.
It appears that Frank and Tee are in love with one another. The time of love has begun. Frank then turns to face Tracy.
"I also owe you an apology," he apologises to her.
Tracy then shares a hug with Frank.
"Apology accepted!" She makes a promise to him.
Elektra then claps her hands loudly together.
"Right let's find Mike," she says to the others.
Faith Davies then makes her way into the kitchen and she turns on the spot to face Tee.
"You and I need to go and pay Gina's mum a visit!" Davies informs Taylor.
Tee then nods in agreement to Faith's information as she follows her out of the kitchen. Elektra then winks at Frank.
"You see I knew there would be another girl for you in the world," she tells him.
Frank smiles happily in response to Elektra's words.
Chapter eight
Faith Davies and Tee Taylor are sat before Gina Conway's mum (Hattie) in her room in the care home.
"Hello I don't know who you two are but you're welcome in my room anyway," the old lady tells the two young girls in a gentle tone.
Tee then places her hand gently upon Hattie's arm.
"Where young people from the children's care home where Gina works," she tells her.
There's a moment of silence old Hattie is clearly troubled about something.
"Where is my Gina?" She wonders.
Tee and Faith then exchange shocked looks together.
"We were hoping you would be able to tell us where she is," Tee tells Hattie.
The old lady then shakes her head in response to the young girl's words.
"I don't know where my little girl is child," she says to her in an honest tone.
Faith then gives Tee a little smile.
"We should go," she tells her.
The two young girls leave Hattie's room and the care home together.
Chapter nine
Tee Taylor and Faith Davies wander down the street leading away from the care home where Hattie is together. Faith gives Tee a little smile.
"I'm sorry about Johnny," she apologises to her.
Tee then gives Faith a little smile.
"We're going to find Gina and Mike," she promises her.
The two girls bump into a gang of lads at the end of the street together, the gang of lads round on Tee and they ignore Faith.
"What are you all doing?" The terrified young girl questions all the fearsome lads in a fearful tone.
A lad licks his lips greedily at Tee.
"Fancy a kiss lassie?" He begs her.
The lad then grabs Tee firmly by the arm and he refuses to let go off her. A lad then rounds on Faith.
"Do you know a lad called Seth?" He questions her.
Tee then gives Faith a look and in that look she manages to tell her that Tracy knows Seth.
"Oh Seth yeah off course I know Seth," Faith tells the gangster in a lie.
The lad then folds his arms in anger.
"Ok then bring me him and I'll let your friend over here pretty eyes go!" The gangster snarls at Faith.
There's a long moment of silence, the lads already have Tee's arms trapped in her firm grips. Tee can't escape the gang.
"What if I don't bring you Seth?" Faith questions the gangster.
The gangster then lashes a gun quickly out his jacket and he aims it harshly at Tee.
"If you don't bring me Seth then that bitch over there will die!" The gangster promises Faith.
Tee then looks at Faith in the eyes.
"It's alright don't bring them Seth!" She begs her.
Faith then looks at the gangster in the eyes.
"I'm going to bring you Seth!" She promises him.
Faith then quickly hurries away from the fearsome gang leaving Tee at the mercy of them.
