00:00I don't see what the problem is.
00:16I just think we should get a proper car.
00:18What are you talking about? This is a proper car.
00:19It's a builder's truck. Not a builder. He'll teach her.
00:23And what about you? Any complaints?
00:25All good.
00:26Right. I'll see you later.
00:28Yeah, see ya.
00:30Hello? Yeah, it's me.
00:34Look, I'm just about to go into work, all right?
00:37Sorry, say that again?
00:40No, that's impossible. I don't even use that credit card.
00:51Can't stop thinking about last night's meeting.
00:54About actions, not words?
00:55Oh, no, yeah, that one meeting, too.
00:58What are you talking about?
01:00Just last night's Bible book.
01:02Oh, that.
01:03It was about how serving God is all about hard work.
01:05What? Singing a few hymns?
01:08Sounds exhausted.
01:09Yeah.
01:10You wouldn't get it.
01:15Officer.
01:15It's a nice place.
01:16It's a bungalow in Benadour.
01:19Don't let your Auntie Sheila hear you saying that. She loves that villa in Spain.
01:28Yeah, and she's finally agreed to let us have it for a fortnight.
01:30A fortnight?
01:31Oh, what? You said a week.
01:33You can't get a decent time in a week, kiddo.
01:35Oh, Mum, do I have to go?
01:37Well, I mean, I'm not going to force you.
01:39Good.
01:40Because Preston told me to tell you that he's not going either, so...
01:43Ooh.
01:44Oh, lovely.
01:46Right, fine.
01:47I'll tell her we're not going.
01:48She's going to be really disappointed, you know.
01:50Thanks, Mum.
01:51What are you on about?
01:52Auntie Shez will not give a toss.
01:54Yes, I know that.
01:55I just wanted to have one last holiday with my kids before they got too old for it.
01:58Well, I think that ship's failed, don't you?
02:01Anyway, I'm off to my office.
02:05You mean Wendy's office.
02:06You're standing in for a day while she sorts this recruitment drive.
02:08Yeah.
02:09A date is all I need to show Mrs Drake that there's more to me than mopping.
02:12Just do as you're told and listen.
02:15If I wanted your advice, I'd ask for it.
02:18What?
02:27Is that a bad one?
02:28How bad?
02:29No, no.
02:30You could have picked a better card.
02:32Brilliant.
02:33Good things are coming for you.
02:36Do you want to draw another?
02:37Might be able to see a bit more then.
02:40Nah.
02:41I don't want to jinx.
02:42Fine.
02:43Who's next?
02:44Me.
02:44Okay.
02:49What questions have you got for the cards?
02:51When will I be famous?
02:53When?
02:53The cards aren't going to give you an exact date.
02:56Yeah, but just what's there?
02:58Come see me at break.
02:59Okay.
03:02Morning, girls.
03:04Anyone interested in a bargain?
03:07Ooh, what do you got?
03:08Have a look.
03:09Have a look.
03:10Some trains.
03:10Ooh.
03:11Caps.
03:12Are they proper?
03:12No, of course they're not the fates.
03:14They're good ones.
03:15You can't tell the difference.
03:17And they're only half the price.
03:20No?
03:21Fine.
03:22I'll be in the playground at break if you change your mind.
03:24Hi, welcome back.
03:41How are you?
03:43How are things?
03:44Things are good.
03:45Yeah.
03:47Listen, we are so sorry for what you went through.
03:49You don't have to be sorry.
03:51There's only one person to blame.
03:52Yeah, but he had us all filled.
03:54And we're all here for you if you need us.
03:56Yeah, we've got your back.
03:58Today is our recruitment drive.
04:01Our year six guests will be joining us shortly.
04:03Stella and our student ambassadors will be doing the meet and greet,
04:06and then they will be split into groups.
04:09Can you?
04:10Oh, yeah.
04:12They will then circle round PE, maths, English, history and music
04:16before ending up in the labs with Miss Charger and her science.
04:20That sounds wonderful.
04:21Thank you, Nisha.
04:22You're welcome, but I didn't realise that I would be covering all of Mark's work
04:27when I agreed to help out with all this.
04:28I know, and we'll talk about long-term solutions later.
04:31Well, a good solution would be getting him back to work.
04:33Oh, well, I wish it was that simple.
04:35Right, so we're supposed to believe that Mark has a drug problem.
04:39Nisha, please.
04:40Right, OK.
04:41Fine, Stella.
04:42Our pressing problem is admissions for next year.
04:45At this rate, we'll barely have a year seven cohort.
04:47After the events of the last few years, our numbers have been plummeting.
04:52So we've got to show that Waterloo Road can still provide an excellent education.
04:56I want these children begging their parents to come here.
04:59Speaking of which, we will be welcoming the mums and dads after school.
05:03So come to the assembly hall, bring your best smiles.
05:06Hmm, is that compulsory?
05:08Refreshments will be provided.
05:10Refreshments sound good.
05:11Hmm, don't get your hopes up.
05:12Meet ya.
05:20I can give you a hand today, if that helps.
05:22Er, no thanks.
05:23I can manage.
05:26Right, miss.
05:27Hiya.
05:29Do?
05:30Yeah.
05:31There you go.
05:32Sure, mate.
05:34Whoa.
05:35Got yourself a bargain?
05:36They're just a pair of trainers, so I don't need them anymore.
05:39All right, let's have a look.
05:41Come on.
05:42Very nice.
05:46You'd almost think they were the real deal.
05:49You do know it's illegal to sell cancer-fed goods, don't you?
05:53Just don't let Mrs Drake catch her, all right?
05:58Oh!
05:59Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
06:06So I want you to list everything you would expect to see in a horror movie.
06:10What are the conventions of the genre?
06:13You've got ten minutes, and then we'll have a discussion, OK?
06:16Sorry to interrupt.
06:17I need help with my year six visitors.
06:20See what I can do.
06:21Mark was supposed to take the maths lesson.
06:23I've already offered Nisha my help.
06:24She made it very clear that offer wasn't welcome.
06:26Well, she might pretend that she doesn't need a hand, but she clearly does.
06:29She hasn't even done a lesson plan, I don't think.
06:31Stella really needs this day to go well.
06:33OK, well, I'll take one for the team.
06:36I'll sort something out, but only cos it's you, Wendy, OK?
06:39I owe you one.
06:42We're not having a discussion yet, please, Mr Johnston.
06:45I'm afraid she's unavailable to take your call this morning.
06:48I'll let her know you've rang.
06:50Ah, you're welcome.
06:51Have a nice day.
06:52What do you want?
06:56Nothing.
06:57Just, er, came to check on some orders.
07:00Checking in on me, you mean?
07:01We don't need to, cos this is a piece of cake.
07:03I'm glad to hear it.
07:04But if you do need anything, all right, fine.
07:08There should be a wine delivery this morning for the parents' reception,
07:11so you're going to have to sign for it
07:13and then put it safely in Mrs Drake's office.
07:15Have you got that?
07:15Is it a posh do, then, this?
07:16Well, Wendy's requested two types of olivants and a vegan option, so, yeah.
07:22Um, is Miss Whitwell here?
07:32Does she look like she's here?
07:34She's with the Year 6 Bratz all day.
07:36Er, it's just, I need to borrow the stapler.
07:39Staplers.
07:45Anything else?
07:47Er, no, thanks.
07:49We'll bring you back when you're done with it.
07:50Right, here they are, our school ambassadors.
07:55Here are your schedules for today.
07:58If you can take one and pass it along.
08:02And the bus bus is here.
08:04Thanks for helping out.
08:06Like I had a choice.
08:07I thought you'd be proud to represent the school.
08:10And me.
08:11Here we go.
08:12You're so little.
08:16You're so noisy.
08:17You're so noisy.
08:20Welcome, everybody.
08:22I'm Mrs Drake, the headteacher.
08:24Good morning, Mrs Drake.
08:26I'm always waiting.
08:28Dee, dee, dee, dee.
08:29Allow it.
08:31The chambers.
08:36In Guthrie.
08:38Oh!
08:39Guthrie!
08:40Perfect timing.
08:41Oh, thank you.
08:43Sorry.
08:45Neil.
08:45Look, um, I know we've only just met and, er, you don't really know me, but I hear your
08:51Libby's back today.
08:53How's she doing?
08:54Oh, well, you tell me.
08:56She says she's fine, but, er, I don't believe a word of it.
09:00Could she use some support?
09:02Yes.
09:03I just don't think she'll take it.
09:07Yeah.
09:07OK, look, they don't have the PE kits, so we're just going to have a kick about it, yeah?
09:28Bit of fun.
09:29Fun?
09:30I thought we were meant to be showing them what a great education they'll be getting if they're
09:32coming.
09:33PE's still a lesson.
09:34Thank you, Kat.
09:36Fine, let's do this.
09:37Look, someone will be in to supervise in a minute, all right?
09:41Hey, thanks.
09:49You all right, mate?
09:50What's up?
09:51Ah, don't ask.
09:53Someone's took my bank card and spent, like, four grand on it.
09:55Yeah.
09:56Could be worse, though.
09:57Oh, it is.
09:58You want to see the interest that's piling up?
09:59Did none of that show up on your statements?
10:00Well, yeah, that's what I said.
10:02I can't remember the last bank statement that they sent me.
10:05Mate, I just don't get it.
10:05I don't even use the card, you know?
10:06It's just for emergencies.
10:09As far as I know, the card is in my drawer at home.
10:13Right.
10:14Er, listen, I don't want to cause any trouble, but I think you need to have a word with your
10:18boy.
10:22Thanks for organising today.
10:24Oh, as soon as I got the teachers on board, it was quite straightforward, really.
10:27Don't minimise your efforts, Wendy.
10:28I'm aware of the work that you put in, and I really appreciate it.
10:32Have you thought any more about the management training scheme the Trust are offering?
10:36It's a great opportunity, and you'll get to see how other schools are going.
10:39Yeah, but I'll be away for months.
10:41Think about it.
10:43OK, let's see if we can get a tune out of you.
10:46Now, in front of you, you'll find some instruments.
10:48OK, I am loving the enthusiasm, but a big part of playing music is listening.
10:58Can you be quiet, please?
11:03Miss Chambers was talking, which means you shouldn't be.
11:11Thank you, Mrs Drake.
11:13I think I can take things from here.
11:17So now we need a tune that we all know.
11:20Does anybody like Olivia Rodrigo?
11:22Me too.
11:25OK, open your books.
11:26Chapter 15.
11:29Today, we're going to talk about bias in historical sources.
11:35Sorry, Mr Guthrie, can I just borrow Ashton?
11:37It's pretty urgent.
11:39Off you go, then.
11:47Thanks.
11:50Is it true you've been selling stuff in school?
11:52Oh, come on, everyone knows they're fake,
11:54so I'm technically not ripping people off.
11:56Yeah? And where'd you get your stuff from?
11:58You can find anything on the internet if you know where to look.
12:00Got a couple of baseball caps to start off with.
12:02Sold them straight.
12:03So, I got most of.
12:05What, by using my credit card?
12:08What?
12:10No.
12:10Yeah, I wouldn't go on Dragon's Den with that business plan.
12:13What do you think it was?
12:13Free money?
12:14I didn't take your car.
12:15Ashton, don't lie to me.
12:16I'm not.
12:18You know, I'm already into my overdraft.
12:20I can't even cover the interest on the debt that you run up.
12:23I don't even know what I'm going to cut back on.
12:25It's going to hurt all of us.
12:27You know, you think about that.
12:29OK, you think about that,
12:30and you come and find me when you want to tell me the truth.
12:33I am.
12:33I'm going to get to class.
12:53Hey.
12:54Oh, hi.
12:55Ready?
12:56Yes, lovely.
12:57OK, in you go.
13:01OK, find a seat, everyone.
13:04Nice and quiet, please.
13:09How did the rest of the lesson go?
13:10Good, after you left.
13:12Oh.
13:13I think they're a bit intimidated by you, Stella.
13:16It's a lot, coming to the big school,
13:18and then they're getting in trouble with their mistress.
13:20OK.
13:21Just saying.
13:22Thanks, Miss Chambers.
13:26Right, so...
13:27Welcome to your English lesson, everybody.
13:31We take English very seriously at this school,
13:34and we expect everyone to get good grades.
13:37So, if you come to this school,
13:39you'll do a lot of reading.
13:41How does that sound?
13:45Well, I love to read,
13:47and I am going to share with you one of my favourite books.
13:50But first, I would like to hear about your favourites.
13:54Anybody reading anything exciting at the moment?
14:02OK, right.
14:03Well, we'll come back to that, then.
14:05Um, so, I am going to read you something
14:08from The Secret Garden.
14:11OK.
14:13There was something mysterious in the air that morning.
14:16Nothing was done in its regular order.
14:19She's just so brave.
14:21Everyone's talking about her.
14:22We might as well talk to her.
14:23I mean, I like her.
14:24How do we feel about the room?
14:26No.
14:27Why?
14:27I like it.
14:28She definitely got the inspeed from me.
14:30Yeah, she copied her.
14:30I was thinking it was giving, like,
14:3290s disco, 80s disco, 70s disco.
14:34Do you just look at maths?
14:35Because I really can't do this.
14:37Well, shall we be fine?
14:39Can we?
14:41Libby?
14:43I'm Jack.
14:44I don't know if your dad mentioned me to you.
14:47You're the counsellor,
14:48and you're going to ask me if I want to talk.
14:50Well, that was easy.
14:51So, even if I did want to sit in a room with you
14:53and a box of tissues, I can't.
14:55Not until the court case is over.
14:57Well, we wouldn't have to talk about specifics.
14:59I don't want to talk about it at all.
15:02I don't want to do anything
15:03that will stop Jared from getting what he deserves, okay?
15:07Okay.
15:09Well, if you change your mind...
15:12I won't.
15:25Are you all right?
15:26So, you're not allowed to talk about Jared at all?
15:30Not until it comes to court, no.
15:31Well, that's stupid, isn't it?
15:33Because everyone knows what he did.
15:34So, this is exactly the sort of conversation I can't have?
15:37Yeah, but it's just not fair,
15:38because, like, he's the criminal,
15:39and you're his victim.
15:42Well, she is a victim.
15:43And he needs you to talk to Dante for me.
15:57About what?
15:58He thinks I've stolen his credit card.
15:59Er, quiet, please.
16:06Look, I swear, it wasn't me.
16:07So, who else could it be?
16:11Who else has been in the house?
16:13How would I know?
16:17It was you, wasn't it?
16:20Hmm?
16:23You've got to tell Dante.
16:24I'm serious.
16:25Tell him or I will.
16:26He won't believe you.
16:30You know he will.
16:31Seriously?
16:32Oh, you're taking the...
16:33Er, Ashton!
16:34What?
16:36What?
16:38Come and sit here.
16:38Come and sit here.
17:04Go on.
17:05Go play with your friends.
17:07You're it.
17:09So, how have you all lot been?
17:10I've been asking loads of questions.
17:11Yeah.
17:12Feels like a practice for the exams, eh?
17:14Yeah, I wish.
17:15It's only one day.
17:16So, I'm one day behind.
17:18I never should have volunteered.
17:19You volunteered for this?
17:21Yeah, we all did.
17:22Why?
17:23Because it's a good thing to do.
17:25To help the school.
17:26It's called being a team player.
17:28Side before self.
17:29Yeah, all right.
17:30Calm down, sport-a-kiss.
17:32I loved that show.
17:33Of course you did.
17:33Hey.
17:41Er, are you busy?
17:43Er, what do you reckon?
17:45Huh.
17:45Er, don't worry.
17:46It doesn't matter.
17:47No, go on.
17:48Which one of them is it this time?
17:51Ashton.
17:51Eh, shocker.
17:53Yeah, he's been using my credit card.
17:55Yeah, tell me about it.
17:57And then, there's Izzy.
17:59Now, I am trying.
18:00I am really trying with her, but she'll even talk to me.
18:03I mean, unless she's moaning about something.
18:05It just makes me feel like I can't do anything right.
18:07Well, that's called having a teenage daughter, I'm afraid.
18:10When it gets worse.
18:11Yeah, I'm in trouble, aren't I?
18:14What am I supposed to do, Nick?
18:15Well, one problem at a time, yeah?
18:17First of all, clear off that credit card.
18:19I'm speaking from bitter experience, as you well know.
18:22That's easier said than done.
18:24I'm stretched as it is.
18:25I think I get more money on a building site.
18:29Ew.
18:30Have you got a spare stapler?
18:31Er, this is a kitchen, Deb, so I'm going to say no.
18:35Well, apparently, every time Dick and Harry in this school
18:37wants to do a spot of stapling.
18:39Ah, no, they don't.
18:40I need to show you what that is.
18:42Er, sorry, I'm going to have to...
18:43It's fine.
18:43I know what I need to do.
18:44Right.
18:45Come on.
18:46What are you doing with it?
18:46Oh.
18:50Remember, good things are coming your way.
18:53You've just got to be open to it.
18:55I will be.
18:56I am.
19:00Hey, Portia.
19:01Can we talk?
19:02Have you got a quid?
19:04No.
19:04No, I don't want my cards doing.
19:06Then I don't want to talk.
19:09It's just some cards.
19:10You're not worshipping Satan.
19:11Chop, chop.
19:25Chop.
19:25This card means confusion, like when someone's being two-faced, pretending to be something
19:47that they're not.
19:49Okay.
19:51Well, sure he's not putting on an act.
19:53He's really found what he needs in the church group.
19:56Yeah, for those suckers who don't really know what he's like.
20:02The film, reversed, literally means someone's being taken for a fool.
20:08I'm not an idiot, Portia.
20:10I know that Shuri can be his own worst enemy sometimes.
20:13But you think you can change him?
20:14No.
20:15No, I don't.
20:16I just think that there's another side to him.
20:19He can be so caring.
20:21You're talking like he's not my brother.
20:22Like I don't know him.
20:23Well, people grow, so maybe you don't anymore.
20:26You know what's really funny?
20:27Before he met you, the only time he went to the church was when he was on the road with
20:31my dad.
20:32I bet he didn't tell you that, did he?
20:34It was an Irish festival or something.
20:39They were collecting some of the soup and that.
20:41You know, for the poor.
20:43And me dad had a lot.
20:45And I was sure we helped him.
20:46He thought he was hilarious.
20:49That's who he is.
20:50He'd give them monkeys.
20:52Not about religion.
20:53And not about you.
20:55He's only in it for what he can get.
20:57I'm gone.
21:05Last card.
21:07The devil.
21:09Oops.
21:10Sorry.
21:16Anything, mate.
21:18Yeah, evenings, weekends, whatever you need.
21:19Yeah, it's just, er, it's just been tough.
21:26You know how it is.
21:28Yeah, look, you got my number.
21:30Just call me, alright?
21:31Right, mate.
21:35Good job I didn't sell the van.
21:37And when I need it, from going back to working on site.
21:39You've already got a job.
21:40How are you going to do that?
21:41Good question, Ashton.
21:44What do you want?
21:46Nothing.
21:47We'll get to class then.
21:48What is it, Neil?
22:02I just wanted to say that if you had anything that you wanted to say to me,
22:08then you can say it to my face.
22:11Because I'm not touchy.
22:13Clearly.
22:14Why would I think that?
22:15Oh, well, let me remind you of some of your own words.
22:18Can often be over-sensitive and unreceptive to even the mildest criticism.
22:26How have you got hold of that?
22:27I can take criticism all day long, as long as it's constructive.
22:30In fact, I actually welcome it.
22:31Staff appraisals are meant to be confidential.
22:34Yeah, I know.
22:34So why did they give me this?
22:35Well, that's a damn good question.
22:36But why are they asking for a stapler if they just want a bag of crisps?
22:47Right.
22:48Remember what it was like when we were kids and mum used to forget to give us our dinner money?
22:51Forget.
22:52She just didn't have any money.
22:53Right.
22:53And did you ever tell anyone that?
22:54No.
22:55I'd as soon have starved.
22:56So that's why me and Wendy set this up?
22:57Oh, so they asked for a stapler.
22:59Because it's code, so they don't actually have to say that they're skint.
23:02Right, I'm going to go.
23:03Shout me when the wine turns up, yeah?
23:05Okay.
23:08Debs, did you hand out the staff appraisals?
23:10I did, yeah.
23:11And I can do any other task you want me to do?
23:13They're only meant to be seen by the senior management team.
23:17Oh.
23:17Yeah.
23:18Oh.
23:32Hello.
23:34Hello.
23:40Hi, everyone.
23:41Welcome to your mum's class.
23:43It's nice to see you.
23:48Val's just torn a strip off me.
24:04Why?
24:04What have you done?
24:05Well, something about not posting sensitive information to staff pigeonholes.
24:09Anyway, she's going to tell Mrs Drake at lunch, so that's me back in the broom cupboard.
24:12No.
24:12Come on.
24:14How's it going?
24:16Uh, yeah.
24:17Good, I think.
24:18Could do with livening things up a bit, actually.
24:21So, uh, what have you got planned?
24:23A worksheet.
24:26But it's all I had time to do when, uh, I did say I'm shorthanded.
24:29And this was supposed to be Mark's lesson.
24:32I think maybe I can help here.
24:33I have to put a little something together.
24:35Thank you, Mr Donovan, but I did say I can manage.
24:38Yes, but you also said you were pushed.
24:40And, uh, we need a win with these kids.
24:42So, uh...
24:42Honestly, just leave it to me.
24:45Right, good morning, everybody.
24:47Now, who here knows how to play...
24:50Bingo!
25:01Hi, Val.
25:02Um, listen, about the staff appraisals.
25:06Debs was just trying to be helpful.
25:08She wants to make a good impression on Mrs Drake.
25:10Yeah, I know, I know, she was probably a bit over-enthusiastic,
25:14but she's in the staff room right now getting them back.
25:16And most of them haven't even been looked at, so...
25:18Then I don't see why we should take it further.
25:22Thanks.
25:22OK, contestants, eyes down for your next number.
25:29Drum roll, please, Wendy.
25:34That's it, you've got it.
25:35Thirteen!
25:36Thirteen, she says.
25:38Unlucky for some.
25:39But not for you!
25:42That's correct!
25:45House!
25:48Oh, we've had a call of house.
25:51Miss Chandra, will you check the numbers, please?
25:56Pause to build the tension.
25:59Of course, Mr Donovan.
26:02Thank you very much, indeed.
26:16Oh, er, hello, Mrs Stella.
26:18How's it going?
26:19Good.
26:20How's your morning been?
26:21Great, yeah.
26:22Better than great, actually, yeah.
26:24If anything, I'm a bit bored.
26:26Oh, well, I'm sorry to hear that.
26:28I mean, as in, like, I could do this with my eyes shut.
26:31Yeah, well, I would prefer it if you didn't test that theory.
26:33Oh, yeah.
26:34Oh, and can you put those somewhere safe, please?
26:37Yeah.
26:37Yeah, yeah, I'm on it.
26:38Well, who knew you could win over a load of 11-year-olds with a bit of bingo?
27:02Well, everybody, it's the oldest trick in the book, turning maths into a game.
27:06Well, that must be why it worked.
27:11Look, I feel like you and I have got off on the wrong foot.
27:13Yeah, well, it hasn't really helped Darius.
27:15You just waltz into my classroom, taking over like you owned it, so...
27:18I honestly was just trying to help.
27:21But I can tell I've overstepped, so...
27:23I am sorry, it won't happen again.
27:29Oh, do you know what?
27:30It's not even you.
27:32I just feel that I shouldn't have been left short-handed in the first place.
27:36Yeah, well, that's not your fault.
27:37Yeah, I know, but it doesn't make sense.
27:40Like, of all the people to get caught with drugs, Mark is, like, the last.
27:45Honestly, he's clean as a whistle.
27:48Oh, he's really good at acting like he is.
27:52You never really know what's going on in someone's life.
27:55People put on a front.
27:56Don't tell you, he's gone back to working on building sites.
28:15Grafted all the hours just to pay off.
28:18You're there.
28:19You have to tell him the truth, is it?
28:22I told you, I can't.
28:23Why?
28:24Well, because you'll be the screw-up and not me.
28:26I'm not going to make a difference.
28:27He'll still owe the money.
28:33He won't understand, he'll hate you.
28:34That's never going to happen.
28:35Look, he didn't even cross his mind that you might have been the one that took his card.
28:41Couldn't wait to blame me, though, could he?
28:45I get it.
28:47It's not the first time I've been caught stealing,
28:49but there's a bit of a difference between nicking a credit card
28:52and taking a card for a spin.
28:54And he's still stealing.
28:54Cars are insured.
29:03Where are you going?
29:05To sort this out.
29:13We need some prawn crackers out there.
29:16Morning.
29:17And, um, that stir-fry wants taken out.
29:20Okay.
29:29Burnt that.
29:30Oh, it's like Nigella Lawson's just walked in the room.
29:33What do you want?
29:34I mean, it's not the end of the world,
29:37but some of that wine's gone missing out of the office.
29:40But it's fine.
29:41I'll replace it.
29:41I'll go to the shop.
29:42No, you need to find out who's taking it.
29:44Well, one of the kids will have had it.
29:45Yes, and what do you think they're doing with it?
29:46Well, I don't know.
29:48What am I supposed to do?
29:49Stop and search every kid?
29:50Sniff its breath?
29:51Not happening.
29:52Right, well, you need to tell Mrs Drake what's happened.
29:53Oh, no.
29:54She's going to think I'm an idiot.
29:55Oh, well, she'll respect you for being honest.
29:57Oh, yeah, that's going to happen.
29:58Too right, it is.
29:59Unless you want me to break the news to her.
30:03Fine.
30:08Oh, right.
30:12How are you doing?
30:14Good.
30:16But I don't know how you're doing it.
30:18Like, I would be in pieces.
30:20And I just want to say that I'm really proud of you.
30:25That's great.
30:27Now, do you think enough people have seen us together?
30:31Have you shown them how lovely and kind you are?
30:33Or do you need me to cry?
30:35Really sell it?
30:37Have you learnt nothing from what happened to you?
30:39Such as?
30:40I don't know.
30:41Not to be such a cow.
30:44I see.
30:45And that's why Jared did what he did.
30:46To teach me a lesson.
30:47I didn't say that.
30:48You're twisting my words.
30:49Then stop talking.
30:50I don't know.
30:57That was quite something.
31:00Apparently I'm not being enough of a victim.
31:07Everyone wants me to cry and be sad so they can hand me a tissue.
31:10Feel like they've done something useful.
31:13And what do you want to do?
31:15You don't want to know.
31:16I do.
31:18And I think you should have a safe space to say it out loud.
31:20Somewhere that isn't here.
31:22I can't.
31:23I told you.
31:26And I totally respect that.
31:27But, you know, we'd only talk about your feelings.
31:32That's it.
31:33No pressure.
31:34No judgement.
31:36No expectation to be anything except yourself.
31:39And that can be whatever you want it to be.
31:44Okay?
31:47Okay.
31:50Okay.
31:52So, she made you pay for a tarot reading that you didn't even want.
32:04Well, it's the only way that she'd talk to me.
32:06Yeah.
32:07I'd have saved my money.
32:09I was just trying to figure out what her problem was.
32:12Did you find out?
32:16So, she ripped you off.
32:18She is a weaver.
32:19Well, actually, saying that, she did mention something quite interesting about you.
32:29Something about the Harvest Festival.
32:31Where you were helping yourself to some of the tins of food.
32:38Yeah, um, well, the thing is, um, about, the thing about that is that was my dad.
32:47You know?
32:47I was just there.
32:49Really.
32:49And, um, they did say it was for the needy.
32:56What are you laughing at?
32:59You.
33:00Sure, chill.
33:01Okay?
33:01I'm not going to fall out with you over something that happened years ago.
33:06I keep trying to tell you, I don't care about your past.
33:11Just who you are now.
33:14Okay?
33:14Go on, have some more.
33:26Nah, I don't think I should.
33:28Go on.
33:29Forest, forest, forest, forest, forest, forest, forest.
33:33Hello.
33:34What's going on here?
33:35Er, nothing.
33:39Sardine.
33:40Basic.
33:41What?
33:41Shut up.
33:43Are you going to tell your gran?
33:44Why would I do that?
33:53Oh, no.
33:54Holds the bell.
33:55Come on, then.
33:58Oh, no.
34:00I don't like that.
34:02I don't like that at all.
34:03Wow, you look well drunk.
34:04Oh, really?
34:06I'm going to sit down again.
34:07We have to go.
34:09I'll leave in a minute, all right?
34:11I'm not waiting.
34:11I'm not waiting for you, mate.
34:25Er, why aren't you doing lessons?
34:27Er, I'm on my way.
34:28Mrs Drake.
34:28Right, well, get going, please.
34:33Mrs Drake!
34:34I've done something really stupid.
34:35I need to tell you about it.
34:37Yes, I've already heard.
34:39And from what I understand, you were just being helpful.
34:41Yeah.
34:42Yeah, I was.
34:42And Miss Chambers tells me that you got most of the appraisals back, so no harm done.
34:46Appraisals?
34:47Mm.
34:49Yeah.
34:50No harm done.
34:51Okay.
34:55Okay.
34:56Okay.
34:57Okay.
34:57Okay.
34:59Okay.
34:59Okay.
35:29My name is Crispin Everard.
35:47And I died of the bubonic plague.
35:53The great plague came to Manchester in 1605 and my symptoms included a high fever, lumps
36:07in my armpits and groin, grow up, and vomiting blood.
36:15A play was nature's way of reminding us that hygiene at the time was, like say, some par.
36:22Now, I don't know whether it was the flea-bitting rats.
36:25Dad?
36:27Yeah.
36:28Hey.
36:30What is it?
36:35You okay?
36:37It was me.
36:38I used your credit card.
36:44It started months ago.
36:45I didn't realize how much I'd spent.
36:47I promise I'll help you pay it back.
36:49What'd you spend it on?
36:50Stupid stuff.
36:52Stupid stuff?
36:53Great, is it?
36:54Just great?
36:55Stuff to make me feel better.
36:58Better than what?
37:00Than being sad.
37:01All the time.
37:02About Mum.
37:03That going to me is not out with anything.
37:07No.
37:08Just made it worse.
37:09Just felt lonely.
37:14You see.
37:15Hey.
37:16Why didn't you say anything?
37:17Because I shouldn't still feel like this.
37:19Why not?
37:20Hey.
37:21Hey.
37:22Hey.
37:23Hey.
37:24Hey.
37:25Hey.
37:26Hey.
37:27Hey.
37:28Hey.
37:29Hey.
37:30Hey.
37:31Hey.
37:32Hey.
37:33Hey.
37:34Hey.
37:35Hey.
37:36Hey.
37:37Hey.
37:38Hey.
37:39Hey.
37:40Hey.
37:41Hey.
37:42Hey.
37:43Hey.
37:44Hey.
37:49Hey.
37:50Hey.
37:51Hey.
37:52Hey.
37:53Hey.
37:54Hey.
37:55Hey.
37:56Hey.
37:57Sweetie.
37:58No, darling. Only sometimes.
38:04Come here.
38:14He'll be alright.
38:18What about Ashton?
38:21I'll talk to him.
38:23He's not been back since lunch.
38:25Great. Where is he then?
38:28No, he said something about car insurance.
38:32Oh, no.
38:34Okay.
38:38Not again. The stupid little idiot.
38:41Yeah, I should call the police, let them deal with him.
38:43They won't, though, will you?
38:44No, I'm gonna have to go find him, aren't I?
38:46How?
38:47The truck. It's got a tracker on it.
38:49No, I mean how? You haven't got a car.
38:54Stay there. Stay there!
38:58Hey, Nick.
39:02Look, whatever it is, I'm too busy.
39:04The year six parents will be here soon, and I have got nothing to feed them.
39:07Yeah, can I borrow your car?
39:08Why? What's up with your car?
39:09Ashton, it's just Nick mine.
39:10Well, what are you gonna do?
39:11Well, I'm gonna find him, resist the urge to kill him, tell him that everything's gonna be alright, and do whatever I can to make it right.
39:17Right, keys, where are they?
39:18They're in the office.
39:19Hello again. Take a seat and put your safety goggles on. All our experiments today are about food.
39:29Oi, what's so funny? Are you drunk right now?
39:33Is he?
39:37Yeah, that's what he was doing at lunch while we were looking after this lot. He could barely keep it together in history.
39:42So, the first thing that we're going to make today is some fizzy lemonade.
39:46How do you manage that?
39:48Skills.
39:50So, as you can see, you've got some lemons in front of you.
39:53I'd like you to pick up your lemons and squeeze as much juice as you can into your beakers, okay?
40:03Forrest?
40:05What?
40:16Oh, come on.
40:20Sit over there.
40:22Well, I think we've worked out where the missing wine went. Into him.
40:25I didn't even like it.
40:27Right, so, what are we gonna do?
40:29We?
40:31No, no, no, no. I don't have time for this. You need to get Mrs Drake.
40:33No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
40:35I can't do that.
40:36Well, she already knows about the missing wine, doesn't she?
40:39Look, it's nearly home time.
40:41No-one needs to know about this.
40:43Please, Nick.
40:44Go and get him some water.
40:47What about a strong coffee?
40:48Just get the damn water!
40:51Sorry, Forrest, but when Debs gets back, I'm gonna have to go and find Mrs Drake.
41:02It's round here somewhere.
41:03You sure?
41:04Yeah.
41:05What does it say on the tracker?
41:06Er, just keep going. Keep going round.
41:09Where now?
41:10Right here.
41:11Right? You sure?
41:12Yeah, pretty sure.
41:13Come on, it's probably round here somewhere.
41:17What the...
41:18What the fuck is that?
41:19What's it doing?
41:30Stay there.
41:31Ashton!
41:32Ashton!
41:33What have you done?
41:35Thought I knew you were angry.
41:36No!
41:37That's not why.
41:38Look, it's for the insurance.
41:39Insurance?
41:40What do you mean insurance?
41:41You'll get the replacement costs for the tools as well.
41:45Enough to pay off the debt and get a new car.
41:48It's gonna be alright.
41:51Come on.
41:52Where's it going now?
41:53Come on.
41:54Get in the car!
41:55Come on!
41:56Vote for you!
42:01It's done.
42:02Let's get out of here.
42:03So, this gel-er is the biggest gel-er that you have ever seen.
42:16And when I take it out of this bucket, I want you to time how long it keeps its shape for.
42:21Are you ready?
42:22Okay.
42:23Let's turn it over.
42:27And...
42:29Go!
42:30One...
42:31Two...
42:32Three...
42:34Four...
42:35Five...
42:36Ah, it's gone, it's gone.
42:38Okay, how long was that?
42:41Yeah?
42:42Four seconds.
42:43Four seconds?
42:44Five seconds.
42:45You got five?
42:46Yeah, four, five seconds.
42:48Now, that's not long at all, is it?
42:50Maybe, Dwayne, you can tell us why.
42:52Why is that?
42:54Right, so, it's because of the force of gravity pushing it down.
42:59And...
43:01And...
43:03The jelly is not strong enough to resist.
43:05Yeah, that's exactly right.
43:07Now, there is a way to make it stronger.
43:09So, this jelly, which I made earlier.
43:12Dwayne, if you'd like to pass it over here to me.
43:16Now, this other jelly has got two bags of this pasta set in it.
43:21It's what we call an aggregate.
43:23So, when we unmould this jelly, it should...
43:26I will be back in one minute.
43:31Do not touch anything till I get back.
43:33Think you feel rough now? Wait till the morning, kid.
43:40What a lightweight.
43:42Sit down and be quiet.
43:44Found him wandering the corridors.
43:46Apparently, he's had an afternoon drink.
43:48Do you know anything about this?
43:49Er...
43:50Bets, what are we gonna do? Drive him up?
43:52Go on.
43:53What were you gonna do?
43:54Well, I was actually just waiting for Devs to get back
43:59so I could come and find you.
44:01Yeah.
44:02I decided to keep him here
44:03so that he wouldn't run into the Year 6 parents.
44:06But I've already phoned his mum
44:08and Mrs Sumi's on her way in.
44:10Don't insult my intelligence
44:12by pretending that you were doing this for the school
44:14when you were just covering up your mistakes.
44:16You should have come and found me immediately.
44:18You are the catering manager.
44:20And this is very obviously not a kitchen.
44:23I suggest you both go back to your actual jobs
44:26and leave this to me.
44:30I'm gonna kill you.
44:38Are we supposed to be impressed because you're drunk?
44:40We're meant to be ambassadors for the school.
44:42Get over yourself. We're babysitters.
44:44Oh, whatever.
44:45Some of us actually care about this school
44:47and you've only been here for five minutes.
44:48It's all it takes.
44:49Oi, keep your voices down.
44:51You don't care.
44:52Full stop.
44:53We're responsible for these kids.
44:54We're meant to be making...
44:55Oh!
44:56Oh!
44:57Oh!
44:58Oh!
44:59Oh!
45:00Okay.
45:04Yeah, Mark.
45:05I really don't know what else to say.
45:07Oh!
45:08Get me!
45:09No!
45:10No, I believe you!
45:11Oh!
45:12Oh!
45:13I know you didn't do it.
45:14Of course I believe you.
45:17You wanna get me in the face?
45:18Oh!
45:19You wanna get me in the face?
45:24What on earth?
45:32Care to explain?
45:33So...
45:34I really like science.
45:39Have you been drinking?
45:42Not so cool now, are you?
45:48Are you sure there's no cameras on the street?
45:50Yeah.
45:51That's why I parked it there.
45:52Okay.
45:53Then I suppose we just wait for the police to call.
45:55What?
45:56You gonna get the insurance?
45:57Well, technically, my truck did get stolen and destroyed, Ashton.
46:01Why'd that grin off your face?
46:03Yeah, Ashton.
46:04Look, this isn't a win.
46:06It's just a way to get a fresh start.
46:09Look, we can't go on like this.
46:11Right?
46:12You need to tell me what's going on in your stupid little lads.
46:18And I need to listen.
46:19Look, we will find a way to make this family work, okay?
46:25I promise.
46:28I just don't know how yet.
46:32But I will.
46:35Just bear with me, alright?
46:38Okay?
46:41Come on.
46:49Come on.
46:50Come on.
46:51Come on.
46:52Come on.
46:53Come on.
46:54Come on.
47:01Yo.
47:04What are you doing?
47:05Telling Agnes all this rubbish about me.
47:07Did a lie.
47:08It's not the point, Portia.
47:10Why are you being like this?
47:11I could say the same.
47:13All this church you took, it's where she were.
47:16No.
47:17It's a good thing.
47:19Alright?
47:20It's good for me.
47:21Then I'm glad for you.
47:22Yeah.
47:23Sounds like it.
47:24I don't know you anymore.
47:25What?
47:26Don't be daft.
47:27Ever since we got fostered, I only see you in school.
47:29And even then, just for five minutes, if you could be bothered.
47:33I'm talking to you now.
47:34Yeah, to have a go at me.
47:36Alright.
47:39I'm sorry.
47:41Whatever happens, I'm still your big brother, I've still got your back.
47:45That's just words.
47:47No.
47:48I mean it.
47:49Look, you ever need anything, anyone ever messes with you, I'll sort them out.
47:55Aren't you supposed to turn nearly cheap?
47:58Yeah.
47:59Funny.
48:00You know, you could do with some God in your life.
48:02No, thanks.
48:03I'll leave that to you.
48:04Whatever.
48:05Whatever.
48:08It's the best I could do, sorry.
48:13Would you like a top up, Mrs Drake?
48:14No, not for me, thanks.
48:16Mrs Drake?
48:17Yes?
48:18So, it's nothing to worry about, but there was an incident last lesson.
48:22Bit of a disagreement between these school ambassadors.
48:25But in front of the visitors?
48:26Yes.
48:27You need to speak to Ben, about drinking alcohol.
48:34Don't worry, I'll be speaking to him later.
48:36At length.
48:44Aha!
48:45I do not know what happened in the last lesson, but the kids loved it.
48:49I've had three parents say they're going to send their kids here next term already,
48:52and that's just the start.
48:53So we might actually have pulled it off?
48:55Yeah.
48:56Well, don't look so surprised.
48:57Apologies.
48:58Everyone's working very hard for you, Mrs Drake.
49:01I'm not the only one who goes above and beyond the call of duty.
49:04You all right?
49:05You look really sick.
49:06That's because I am sick.
49:07Something you ate?
49:08Something I drank.
49:09Something you're allergic to?
49:10I have allergies.
49:11They can be really serious.
49:12Do you want me to go get a teacher?
49:13You know, I'm okay.
49:14Well, do you want me to get you something?
49:15A drink of water or something fizzy?
49:16No, but do you know what I do want?
49:17Name it.
49:18For you to do one.
49:19Give me a headache on top of everything.
49:20So am I trying to be nice?
49:21Hmm.
49:22I'm not really sick.
49:23I'm really sick.
49:24No, it's because I am sick.
49:25Something you ate?
49:26Something I drank.
49:27Something you're allergic to?
49:28I have allergies.
49:29They can be really serious.
49:30Do you want me to go get a teacher?
49:31You know, I'm okay.
49:32Well, do you want me to get you something?
49:33A drink of water or something fizzy?
49:34No, but do you know what I do want?
49:36Name it.
49:37For you to do one.
49:38Giving me a headache on top of everything.
49:41So am I trying to be nice?
49:43That was out of pocket.
49:47Like, I just snapped.
49:48And at this point, I just called her a cow.
49:50I don't know who she thinks she is.
49:51Alina!
49:52Can I just say something?
49:54I'm sorry about what happened at lunch.
49:56It was rude.
49:57Yeah, fair.
49:58I wasn't saying you deserve what happened to you.
50:01I would never say that.
50:03No, I know.
50:04You were just trying to be nice.
50:05So, thanks for that.
50:06Yeah.
50:07You're welcome.
50:08But can you stop?
50:09I mean, it's already bad enough everyone at home treating me like I'm gonna brig
50:12into a million pieces.
50:14I mean, no shade, but can you just treat me normally?
50:17Normal?
50:18We could, we could do that.
50:19I mean, as normal as you freaks can be.
50:23So, this fringe, I really want to get a fringe.
50:34No.
50:35Well, you wouldn't suit a fringe.
50:36Yeah, you might quite a fringe.
50:37Come on.
50:38I feel like a fringe.
50:39Yeah.
50:40I think you see one, a small one.
50:43Come in.
50:49Um, listen, I'm gonna save you some time.
50:51So, just give me my marching orders and I'll clear out my locker.
50:54Can I ask you a question?
50:56Do you find your job boring?
50:57Well, there's never a dull day around here.
50:59Have you not realised that yet?
51:01No, that's not what I asked.
51:02Do you find being a catering manager unchallenging?
51:04Because you're clearly good at it.
51:06And everything in the kitchen runs pretty smoothly.
51:08Meaning that's where I belong and I should learn to keep my nose out of other people's business?
51:13No.
51:14The opposite.
51:15I thought you were just looking out for your sister.
51:16But you were actually following procedure.
51:18You've got great problem-solving skills.
51:21Take your stapler system.
51:23You know about that.
51:24I know everything that goes on in this school.
51:26But if you're finding yourself with enough time on your hand to implement something like that,
51:30then clearly we're not making the best use of you.
51:33Well, what do you suggest?
51:35Well, the Academy Trust runs a management training scheme.
51:40It's a chance for you to increase your skill set.
51:42It's all in here.
51:43You find out where your talents lie and what you really should be doing.
51:46How does that sound?
51:48Good, yeah.
51:50What does it involve?
51:52You'll be away for a couple of months.
51:54The training takes place all over the country.
51:56And then you'll bring back what you've learnt to Waterloo Road.
52:01Can I... can I think about it?
52:03Yeah, of course.
52:04But I need to know as soon as possible.
52:08Every last trace.
52:16You must fancy a drink.
52:17No thanks.
52:18I'm buying.
52:19Apology for earlier.
52:20No, it's... it's fine.
52:23Are you sure?
52:27You really don't know when to give up, do you?
52:30Fair enough.
52:31But I could say the same about you and Mark.
52:33I really do think you should take a step back.
52:38If Mark hasn't done anything wrong, he's got nothing to worry about.
52:41But he's got no right dragging you into this.
52:44So...
52:45There.
52:46That's it.
52:47I'll meet you in the pub.
52:51But you're still buying.
53:00Oh, Mum, come on.
53:02You have to take it.
53:04Do you reckon?
53:05Yes.
53:06Yes.
53:07I know, I'm gonna be away.
53:08For weeks.
53:09And what, like we can't manage by ourselves?
53:12Sorry, after today?
53:14Well, do you know what?
53:16Maybe it's a sign.
53:17I should start dealing with my own problems.
53:19It's about time.
53:22Mum, you need this.
53:25Yeah, I do.
53:26Don't I?
53:29Okay.
53:30Well...
53:32I think I'm gonna do it then.
53:33I'm gonna go.
