00:00I've been speaking to Uncle Rob, and he said we can live with him.
00:02Are you sure you want to go?
00:04At least your sister's got some sense between her ears.
00:06You always had something about him, Steve.
00:08Nicky Rafferty. I didn't know you worked here.
00:10Neil, what on earth are you doing?
00:12I like you. I'd really like us to give this a go.
00:14She was homeschooled, but now, unlucky for us, we have to put up with her.
00:21I am so proud to be stood here as your new acting head.
00:25It's about us having serious concerns about your leadership.
00:28You've known an entire staff, walk out on their head teacher.
00:31I will be stepping down.
00:32Trust have approached me to step in as head.
00:34But I want you to know that your job is safe.
00:37Nobody knows Waterloo Road like you.
00:58I was blind.
01:20Morning, Miss.
01:39Don't worry. I've not forgotten my pencil case and my ruler.
01:41As long as you're not claiming it on expenses.
01:43Expenses? How do you think I got this car?
01:51I'll have working for you.
01:53I know what happens if I don't keep a close eye on you.
01:56Oh, aye. I get schools out of special measures.
01:59I'm a right nightmare.
02:00And that's why we've flown you in on short notice.
02:03But this isn't St. Clement's.
02:05Waterloo Road is not a school.
02:08It's a ticking time bomb and it's always ready to go off.
02:10Well, I'm a big boy, Serena Michelle.
02:13I think I can handle it.
02:14I'm serious.
02:16Joe Casey thought he could shake this place up
02:18and it blew up in his face.
02:19And he knows Waterloo Road better than anybody.
02:22I need to reassure the board that everything's back under control.
02:26No governor's meetings coming to blows.
02:28Honestly?
02:29He punched one governor.
02:30Stephen, no surprises, no drama, buy the book.
02:36You understand me?
02:37All right. Buy the book.
02:40You're welcome.
02:47Your mum is with the angels now.
02:50Giving us all down here a right slagging.
02:52Auntie Eileen.
02:54Bless.
02:56I just can't believe she was on her own.
02:58I think if I'd have taken her to hospital,
03:01I wouldn't have left her to go to work.
03:03Well, it was out of the blue.
03:04I don't know how you can go now.
03:05I like to keep busy.
03:08Stops me thinking bad thoughts.
03:09Well, what are you going to do about the funeral?
03:10Are you just leaving that as well?
03:11It'll be at the church hall, won't it?
03:13I can make the butties myself.
03:15No.
03:16Because that's not what she wanted.
03:17Look.
03:20Barbara Rafferty's funeral wishes.
03:24What's all these names?
03:25People she don't want coming.
03:29Horse-drawn carriage.
03:30Six white horses.
03:32Yeah.
03:32I think that'd be really nice.
03:34Have you read that bit about the doves?
03:35Yeah, what are they for?
03:36Crapping on the people she didn't want coming?
03:38Well, there's no need for that negativity.
03:40Kelly Jo, we can't afford a scabby donkey,
03:42never mind six white horses.
03:44I'm not asking you to pay for it all.
03:45I just need a lender.
03:46Oh, here we go.
03:47It's not my fault she'll have a policy, is it?
03:49It's typical of mum, though, isn't it, eh?
03:52Can't be bothered paying for it herself.
03:54Someone else will do it.
03:55Well, it won't be me.
03:56Why are you being like this?
03:59It's what nan wanted.
04:01Yeah, I know what she wanted.
04:02To make things as difficult as possible
04:04for the rest of us after she'd gone.
04:06Do you know what?
04:07I've heard it all now, Nicky.
04:09Too tight to pay for your own mum's funeral.
04:11Oh, shut up, Deborah.
04:12Morning, builders.
04:28Am I right?
04:29That's the chip one we give to the parents we don't like.
04:31I think the word you're looking for is,
04:33thank you.
04:36Now, don't be expecting this every day, but...
04:39Oh, thank you.
04:44Oh, no chocolate on my cappuccino, you remembered.
04:49Can we chat while I get straight?
04:50Yeah.
04:52You were so easily bought, you.
04:56I know you and Kim were a proper team.
05:00Same as me and my old deputy.
05:02It's got me through a fair few scrapes.
05:04Which is why I need to rely on you in the same way, Joe.
05:10Not really got the best track record right now, though, have I?
05:13I'm the new boy.
05:14I need to learn from you.
05:15I'm really sure what I could teach you.
05:17I see every troubled school like a broken-down car.
05:21You can have the best mechanic in the world,
05:23but it's the fellow who drives it every day
05:24who knows where to kick it.
05:26You realise I ride a bike?
05:27Look, I've already got Serena Michelle breathing down my neck.
05:31You know all the personalities,
05:32how they fit together,
05:33and I want to learn how to manage them.
05:36So today, I'm going to take a back seat
05:38and watch you run the show.
05:41Me.
05:41Whatever happened at the start of term,
05:43I trust you 100%.
05:45I just need you to learn to trust me the same.
05:49Yeah? Right?
05:50Good.
05:51Let's start by getting the staff back on side, shall we?
05:53Yeah.
05:55Wow.
05:56An actual staff room.
05:58What a luxury.
06:00Don't let it suck you in.
06:01I know Steve Savage.
06:03Gives you a few chairs and a pile of tatty TESs,
06:05and he'll be asking for the world.
06:07So, did anyone else wake up to a surprise in their inbox today?
06:10What you and Neil get up to is your own business.
06:13Can't just be me shortlisted for the, er,
06:16co-deputy head role.
06:17Oh.
06:18No?
06:19No.
06:19I'd probably kill the head.
06:21I'd rather poke my own eye out.
06:22Well, one of you must have gone for it.
06:23It can't be that easy for me.
06:24I hope you're messing.
06:31Well, I've been passed over time and again.
06:33And finally, a head comes along who I can work with.
06:36I mean, this is the only chance I've got.
06:38Or you could support your partner.
06:39But it's me that needs support.
06:41I'm a cis white male, or as they used to call it, a man.
06:45You know, it's just stacked against me from the start.
06:47When I get the job, it will be because I'm the best candidate.
06:50I'll get you on time.
07:01Well, what have I got to stay home for?
07:05It's all right for cash.
07:06Because I told you, if you need anything, you should ask.
07:11I shouldn't do this, but...
07:14I'm only looking out for you.
07:16All right.
07:17You've got to smile back on your face, eh?
07:20You've thought any more about doing something for me?
07:29Morning, everybody.
07:32Get ready for the top thumping.
07:33Now, I'm not going to start off by doing a big speech,
07:35but what I will say is I'm excited to be working
07:38in such a fantastic new building
07:39with a dedicated and talented team.
07:42I thought you weren't doing a speech.
07:43Oh, no, you're quite right.
07:45You must pick me up on that.
07:47This week, my main aim is to keep a low profile.
07:50I want to see what works, what doesn't work
07:52before I jump in with my size 10.
07:53So, for the sake of continuity,
07:55Joe Casey is going to continue to run the show for now.
07:58Now, I know we got off to a bit of a rocky start,
08:00but we can all agree that Joe is a major asset to this school,
08:03and I know that you're giving the support and respect
08:05that you'd give any senior manager.
08:07Has he met us?
08:10Joe.
08:11Hi, Steve.
08:11Yeah, Ty didn't suit me anyway.
08:15No, obviously, there were a few problems,
08:18and Steve and I really think it's down to communication.
08:21So, we want to give you a voice.
08:24Today, we'd like you to carry out a review
08:25of each other's departments.
08:27Sorry, you want us to report on each other?
08:29No, we want you to learn from each other.
08:33Yeah, share your experience and your talents.
08:35Right, where can we improve?
08:36What can we do cross-curriculum?
08:38You tell us, and we will listen.
08:41You know why I've got a full timetable?
08:43Oh, we're well aware that it is a big ass,
08:45but Joe's organised some cover to buy you some time.
08:48Oh, right, yeah, it's a new day.
08:52Yeah?
08:53Great, OK, thank you.
08:59See?
09:00Typical Steve Savage.
09:02Gets us doing the work for him.
09:04Makes it sound like he's doing us a favour.
09:08Preston, have you seen Tonya?
09:17She went off upset.
09:19How come?
09:20Your mum and my mum having a go at each other.
09:22I know, mum would have loved it.
09:24Hey, you know what else you love?
09:26When you used to...
09:27You used to get your little instrument out in the living room.
09:30What are you on about?
09:33I'm on about your guitar.
09:35I come by Garvin...
09:36Oh, and anyway, she actually wanted you to do a song at a funeral.
09:41Look, don't worry.
09:43I told my mum that you don't play no more.
09:45Says who?
09:47You haven't played for years.
09:48Right, but it's natural talent.
09:50It doesn't just go away.
09:51You said that you had talent.
09:53Nan!
09:54Preston, nans think that you have talent if you wipe your own bum.
09:57Right, OK.
09:58Well, we'll tell Aunty Devs I'll do it.
09:59You're all funny, man.
10:05That was funny.
10:06Have a taste.
10:08I don't know why you're...
10:09I'm being deadly serious.
10:12Oh, Mog, er...
10:13I didn't see you at basketball practice this morning.
10:17I got a plate.
10:18Well, that's a few times now.
10:21Or maybe cut back on the all-night gaming.
10:25I don't feel well, actually.
10:27Yeah, so...
10:28So cut back on the all-night...
10:29Just leave me alone.
10:31I see they all can't wait to get into their shiny new building.
10:46It's a daily routine.
10:47Er, right, the bill has gone.
10:49Yeah, and we'll be taking those vapes, thank you.
10:51They are not allowed in or out of school.
10:56Get a load of the new TA.
10:57Thinks we have to do what he says.
10:59Oh, yeah.
11:00Mr Savage, it's your new head teacher, Weaver.
11:03Right, anyone with vapes, hand them over now.
11:06Give me that, Ronaldo.
11:11New TA, yeah?
11:13Great life.
11:14Thanks for making sure that I always remember who you are.
11:21Come on.
11:23Er, excuse me, where do you think you're going?
11:27Shop?
11:28Er, no, in.
11:28I'll only be a minute.
11:30School started in.
11:33Come on, let's go.
11:35Come on.
11:39Carla Duggan?
11:42What are you doing here?
11:44You want to get out of my way?
11:45I will do when you tell me what you're doing in my school.
11:48You're not my head teacher now.
11:49Joe, pupils vaping.
12:03Can we take your names?
12:04I don't have a list as long as my arm.
12:05Let's do a full bag search.
12:07What, for vapes?
12:08We don't know what effect they're having on children's health, and that's the legit ones.
12:11The snide ones could have anything in them.
12:13Oh, I don't disagree, but...
12:14Are we allowed vapes in this school?
12:16No.
12:16Right.
12:17But the full bag search, you've got to have proper grounds.
12:19I've got proper grounds.
12:21Well, what are they?
12:22Let's just get on with it.
12:23I know it seems heavy-handed, but I've got me reasons, Joe.
12:26Right, fine.
12:30Uh, so much for taking a back seat.
12:36Right, it's £2.50 each, but I can do you a special offer.
12:39Two for a fiver.
12:42Am I looking at me like that?
12:43It's £2.50.
12:44I'm literally robbing myself.
12:46Are you stupid or what?
12:47Sell the vapes in school?
12:49Shop clothes, donuts.
12:50What?
12:51What's your thing going to happen if Mr Savage catches you?
12:53Well, some of us don't have a rich new mummy and daddy that we can go to for cash.
12:57You know what?
12:57I'm so glad I listened to Tonya.
12:59Running away with you would have been the worst thing I ever did.
13:02What?
13:02What are you all doing here?
13:04Shouldn't you be in lessons?
13:05Why are you loitering?
13:07I'm looking for a pen.
13:08Yes.
13:09Pen?
13:10Wow.
13:10Schumacher Weaver arrives with pen.
13:12Shock horror.
13:13Get to lessons.
13:19Come on.
13:23What?
13:36Um, do you know where 10S is?
13:45Are you all right?
13:46Do I look all right?
13:49Um, well, are you not going to lessons or...
13:51My nan's died.
13:53I ain't going nowhere.
13:55Why are you even in school then?
13:59Mum's acting like nothing's happened, so the rest of us have to run all.
14:03That's why.
14:05Oh, it's bad, that.
14:07I was off for weeks.
14:10When you lost your nan?
14:13Um, not my nan, no.
14:16Have you tried phoning her?
14:17What?
14:17Um, her voicemail, I mean.
14:20You know, hear her voice, leave her a message even.
14:22It helps somehow.
14:23It does for me anyway.
14:25Phone her.
14:32You're weird.
14:33I'm pressing the button.
14:39Yes, I've tried that.
14:40There hasn't been any beep.
14:42There hasn't?
14:43You lied, didn't you?
14:44Oh, this is Barbara Rafferty.
14:46I'm afraid I'm...
14:47Nanny, it's ton.
14:52Mum's wrecking me head.
14:53I reckon she's in a big night with herself and she's taking it out on everyone else.
14:57If you were here, I'd tell you all about it.
15:03You'd give some rubbish advice.
15:07It'd still help.
15:11See you, nan.
15:17Your nan sounds class.
15:19Yeah, she was.
15:24You knew?
15:24Uh, Billy.
15:26Tanya.
15:30Was it your mum?
15:33How do you know?
15:34She'd never let you come to school with your tie like that.
15:40I'm in tennis.
15:42Come on, I'll show you.
15:43Hey.
15:55No one's expecting you back at work, you know?
15:57Yeah, well, I'm the manager now, aren't I?
15:59I can't just be taking time off.
16:02Hey.
16:04This place ain't gonna fall down without you.
16:07What, is it because of the new head starting?
16:09It hasn't even crossed my mind.
16:10Look, the funeral, Nick, yeah?
16:14You need to be involved.
16:15Yeah, yeah.
16:16Why don't we just have a two-minute silence and get Elton John to write a song and all?
16:19Well, we could always get her loan.
16:21That's how your mum wanted to go out.
16:23She doesn't have to sit through it.
16:25She doesn't have to pretend that she's just lost a devoted, loving mother.
16:30Because she's gonna be in her top of the range of a sarchy bloody coffin,
16:33having the last bloody laugh.
16:34Look, I nearly let my anger get the better of me at clothes for you, Mum.
16:44And I would have regretted it if...
16:45You didn't know my mum.
16:47Not really.
16:49Not when she was bad.
16:51Yeah, I know, I'm just...
16:52No, you don't get it, Dante.
16:54Don't forget to upload your answers.
17:02Tonya.
17:03New kid I don't know.
17:05Be on time next lesson.
17:07Soz.
17:07And when you're early, I expect a bit more than a soz.
17:10Soz miss.
17:13Soz miss.
17:15Tonya.
17:16What have you said to Portia?
17:18Get lost.
17:18She was totally up for going with me, and then it all changed.
17:23I told her she'd be mad to listen to anything you said.
17:26Of course I did.
17:26And how is that your business?
17:28She said get lost.
17:29Billy, it's fine.
17:30So get lost.
17:32Stop right there, Weaver.
17:35I didn't even start it.
17:36I don't care who started it.
17:38You both go to Mr Case's office.
17:41Now.
17:42You are dead.
17:44Dead.
17:46That is not the way to Mr Case's office.
17:48New school.
17:49I don't know my way.
17:52Billy, you don't want to pick a fight with him.
17:56Mr Case, sir.
17:58I was just sending this boy to come and see you.
18:00Well, it's your lucky day, isn't it?
18:01Did you get me instead?
18:04Miss Chandra, do you mind if you use your classroom?
18:05Yeah, sure.
18:09Right.
18:10The rest of you, off to your next lesson, thank you.
18:13And have your bags out on the desk, ready for inspection.
18:16Inspection?
18:17Yeah, yeah, it's all right, Dwight.
18:18Come on.
18:18We're just looking for vapes.
18:20Nice and quick.
18:30Fighting?
18:31The other lad's a little rat who likes threatening girls.
18:33Oh, you're trying to look cool in front of everyone before they find out you're the head son.
18:37I brought you here to keep you out of trouble.
18:42I was fine.
18:43That school wasn't helping you reach your potential.
18:46Well, I might have if you'd not been down there every five minutes kicking off like you knew better.
18:49I expect the same standards of your school as I do of my own.
18:52So now it is the same school.
18:53How exactly do you think that's going to go down for me?
18:55I don't have bullying at my school.
18:57I know you don't believe this, Dad.
18:58But there are some things in life that you just can't control.
19:04Three strikes, Billy.
19:05And that's your first.
19:07You can't do this for no reason, sir.
19:17I do have a reason, sure.
19:22Anyone happen to?
19:24Let's see who's missing.
19:28Billy Savage.
19:29Savage.
19:31Oh.
19:32Savage?
19:33As in, like, Mr Savage?
19:35Right, Mug.
19:37Yeah, right.
19:38Clean sheet, year ten.
19:39Let's keep it that way.
19:42Thank you, miss.
19:43Thank you, sir.
19:45Right, let's get on.
19:47Last lesson.
19:48We covered the world and context in which Shakespeare...
19:52In which he wrote Macbeth.
19:56Macbeth.
19:57So today we'll go through a summary of the story.
20:02Don't mind me.
20:03Just here to do an inter-department review.
20:06So on the board, you'll see bullet points with the themes.
20:10It's a tale of ambition.
20:12Murder.
20:13Deceit.
20:14And betrayal.
20:18Betrayal.
20:26What do you want?
20:40You, uh, play guitar, don't you?
20:42Yeah.
20:42No-one spanks the plank like me.
20:44Okay.
20:44Um, well, I've accidentally asked Preston if he can play a song at our Nana's funeral.
20:51He's going to show himself up.
20:53And me.
20:55No.
20:55What do you want me to do about that?
20:57Well, maybe help him out.
21:01Give him a lesson.
21:02Him?
21:03Yeah.
21:04You know he's never even found me for my part in saving his life.
21:07He's really upset, no?
21:09You're not going to play the dead man card.
21:10He's really, really upset.
21:13No, don't.
21:14My Nana just died.
21:16OK, come on, open up.
21:41Oi!
21:42A few babes, but that's it.
21:44Yeah, same.
21:45Problem?
21:46Yeah, I think someone's avoiding a search.
21:48Oh, right.
21:49It's Mr Casey.
21:51Open up or we'll open it for you.
21:56Right.
21:57OK.
21:57All right, I'm coming in.
22:04Right, you can't open the door on me.
22:06I'll sue.
22:07Give me the vape.
22:08No.
22:09I'm not going to give you anything.
22:12Oh, hey, don't touch me.
22:13Shui.
22:13You and me know every time you open that without thinking,
22:18it makes things worse, doesn't it?
22:22So, you tell me,
22:24what do you think is your best option right now?
22:26Hmm?
22:31Have you got any more?
22:33No.
22:34Turn your pockets out, then.
22:40Office now.
22:47Thanks for that.
22:48Dante, isn't it?
22:49We sort of met the other day.
22:50Oh, yeah, my other half was the stranger that was sobbing at heart out in your good suit.
22:54Oh, we're not strangers.
22:55We went to school together.
22:58Yeah.
22:59Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course you did.
23:02Steve.
23:03They are not mine.
23:19They were hidden where we found you.
23:20I were only in there to stop you getting my vapes.
23:22Oh, well, that's okay, then, isn't it?
23:25It's during school time.
23:26Where did you get the vapes from?
23:28The shop.
23:29They weren't given to you for free?
23:33A little extra for the work you're doing, maybe?
23:34No.
23:35Did somebody ask you to deliver this package somewhere?
23:37No.
23:39Did Carla Duggan ask you?
23:44No.
23:45Shewie, I saw her outside this morning.
23:47Okay, but I don't know her.
23:48Former St. Clement's pupil.
23:50Bright girl.
23:51Not bright enough to stay clear of the gangs.
23:54Did she tell you how much money you could earn?
23:56Yeah?
23:57Did she also tell you about the time she was hospitalized?
23:59What about when she did time in Young Offenders?
24:03No, I didn't think so.
24:06And do you know how she started?
24:08Selling vapes in my school.
24:12Do not make the same mistake.
24:17I'm trying to help you, Shewie.
24:19Funny.
24:23That's what Campbell said.
24:24I helped get my dad in prison.
24:28Get me in a dive living by myself.
24:30Miss Campbell was the only reason you weren't excluded.
24:34Shewie, you brought drugs.
24:35Yeah, into school.
24:38If you don't want to be chucked out, you need to start talking.
24:40What's the point?
24:45What is the point?
24:46I mean, it don't matter what I say.
24:48You two, you've already made your minds up.
24:49Right, okay.
24:50I think you need to go to isolation for a bit, whilst we decide whether to contact the police.
24:54Yeah.
25:01You should have said about Carla, Steve.
25:03I'm safeguarding lead for the school, so if there's a county lines dealer hanging around, I need to know.
25:09I could have wheeled off a list of vulnerable kids before we'd done a full bag search.
25:12Yeah.
25:13And if I had, Shewie Weaver would have been right at the top.
25:18They went right through my stuff, though.
25:20I mean, it's wrong.
25:21It's invasive.
25:22Get your dad's to complain.
25:23Has the new head not heard of civil liberties?
25:26Well, you raise a very interesting question, from a historical perspective.
25:31You'll remember we were discussing liberalism in 20th century Germany.
25:41Sorry.
25:41Um, just get your worksheets ready, please.
25:47Uh, you're not down to observe me.
25:49I swapped.
25:49I've just saw you scribbling your little notes all through my lesson.
25:53Well, it's like Joe said.
25:55What are the problems, and where can we improve them?
25:58Mm-hm, mm-hm, mm-hm.
25:59We can all play that game.
26:03Right, so, uh, the Weimar Constitution provided us with a lot of rights that we take for granted
26:10today, such as, um, freedom of speech and anti-discrimination laws.
26:18And so on.
26:21Uh, yet, uh, democracy failed, and Germany ended up with a fascist dictator.
26:27So, how do we reconcile this?
26:33Mm?
26:37Who let you in?
26:38You're not answering my calls.
26:40Well, I'm at work, and we're short-staffed, sir.
26:42I've got to be the funeral director, Lou.
26:45I don't know what to say.
26:46Oh, I don't know.
26:47Do they do a cardboard box?
26:49That's not funny.
26:52Look, I can't do this by myself, Nick.
26:54I'm brassic.
26:55You were working in Ibiza, weren't you?
26:58Oh, yeah, by the time I ever pay my rent, I'd like...
27:00And have it large every night.
27:03I've helped you out plenty of times.
27:05Oh, yeah, I know.
27:06And you'd never let me forget it, have you?
27:07You're just like her.
27:10Someone else will pay, namely me.
27:13I'm sorry, but I just can't afford it.
27:19Moira, where are you?
27:22What do you mean you're not coming in?
27:25Well, what time is this to be telling me that?
27:31Great, and where am I supposed to get cover now?
27:35I think Mum would want us to help each other out,
27:37not you.
27:41Yeah.
27:42It's like these potatoes look smaller,
27:43they won't cook in time.
27:45Yeah.
27:52Nicky?
27:55All right.
27:56I didn't see you there.
27:57Yeah.
27:58Well, I can go.
27:59No, no, no, you don't have to.
28:01I don't want to get in your way.
28:03Well, I mean, you are in the place
28:05I like to take out my grievances on an animal object.
28:07Because, I mean, that bin's had a right kicking.
28:09Yeah, I bet.
28:15Hey, you know, like I used to smoke, struggle to give up.
28:18Missed me ciggy breaks.
28:19Well, eventually I realised,
28:21it wasn't the ciggy I was missing,
28:22it was the break, the thinking time.
28:23So now, I'm still having a ciggy break,
28:25who'd help the ciggy?
28:27All right, well, whatever gets you through the day.
28:32Listen, er,
28:33I'm sorry about the other day.
28:36You know, you know,
28:37emotional and...
28:38Hey.
28:41You've just lost your mum.
28:43You've got nothing to be embarrassed about.
28:47How are you?
28:50You'll think I'm evil.
28:51I always like that about you.
28:53Well, she wants this big, mad funeral
28:56and I'm expected to just go along with it.
28:58Like she was some kind of saint.
29:00Your mum?
29:01Yeah, that's how she saw herself, you know.
29:04Like she was hard done to
29:05and I abandoned her.
29:06I was the world's worst.
29:08I'm sure she loved you.
29:10In her way.
29:12Here.
29:15Don't have a ciggy.
29:16It helps.
29:17It's hard.
29:18Oh, I met your fella properly.
29:23Did you?
29:23Yeah.
29:24Wasted as a caretaker.
29:26Oh, yeah, I know he hates it.
29:28He's got it in him to be so much more, you know?
29:31Yeah, well, I might be able to find him something better.
29:33We're in the middle of a staffing crisis,
29:34so we need good people.
29:36Wouldn't that be so good of you?
29:37Yeah, well, I owe him one.
29:38He helped me out with a difficult pupil.
29:41Do you know, um,
29:42a lad called Schumacher?
29:44Oh, absolute little rat.
29:46Oh.
29:48I was going to say it reminded me of myself
29:50when I was his age.
29:53People just saw a kid in care.
29:56No, he's just a bad'un.
29:59And I'd say that whether he was in care or not.
30:01Some kids, you can just see the trouble a mile off.
30:11Right.
30:13I'd best be off.
30:14I'm sorry.
30:18I'm sorry.
30:26I'm sorry.
30:26I've left a message with this social worker. If she calls back, will you let me know?
30:49So I'm gonna have to get the police involved as well.
30:51Who do you get to deliver your big bag of pills?
30:54Mine?
30:55A lad like Schumacher, he gets stopped every two minutes. The gangs know that.
30:59They're looking for the kids who fly under the radar, the ones you don't notice.
31:03I don't think he's our man.
31:04Well, you think he's telling the truth?
31:06What? He clearly knew Carla's name.
31:08The ceiling panel's been moved. Someone's been back to look for their stash.
31:11I'm telling you, John, there's someone else involved, and we need to figure out who it is.
31:25Oh, yeah!
31:35Oh, yeah!
31:37Ah, so you digging my text? I knew you couldn't resist half a veggie rat.
31:42I'm in trouble. Like, bad trouble.
31:48OK. Just take a deep breath, and...
31:55What's happened?
31:57I'm supposed to be in Leeds.
31:59Leeds.
32:00Leeds?
32:01To deliver a package.
32:05Mog.
32:06I got caught in a bunker first thing.
32:08Then they did the search, so I hid it.
32:10But I went back and it's not there.
32:11Now Carla's gonna kill me.
32:13Well, it's all Carla's a dealer, yeah?
32:17How do you even know her?
32:19From a game.
32:21What?
32:22I've got loads of friends I've met in games.
32:25We were doing all these missions together and she started buying me upgrades.
32:29Next thing she's saying, I owe her.
32:31And I realise I've told her loads of stuff, like where I live, where I go to school, all this.
32:36And she's like, you do a thing for me to pay it back.
32:39I thought it'd be once and that's it.
32:42But it wasn't.
32:46It's gonna be okay.
32:47I'm gonna get help.
32:49You can't tell no one.
32:51Mog, you have to.
32:53I just want help from you.
32:54Look, if you let me some money, I could pay it back for it.
32:57Even if I could do that, it's not gonna make any difference.
33:01You need to tell a teacher.
33:02Just make everything worse.
33:04That's what I used to think.
33:06With my eating.
33:07But they know what to do, they know how to fix things.
33:10Not this, they don't.
33:12If I grass it, it'll be a million times worse.
33:15You can't say a word.
33:16Promise me.
33:17Right, if you're not decided by the time you're here, you can get what you're given.
33:22Next!
33:23Oh, thank you.
33:24Be nice.
33:25What's this?
33:26Just, er, saving your auntie Nicky's backside, aren't I?
33:27What do you think?
33:28Well, er, yeah, you're rocking that, I guess.
33:29It suits me, doesn't it?
33:30Yeah.
33:31Hey, I'm available tomorrow, you know.
33:32And the next day.
33:33And the day after that.
33:34Yeah, I'm not buying this.
33:35I know what you're doing.
33:36What's that?
33:37She's just trying to get me to pay for your nan's ridiculous funeral.
33:39No, I said I'd pay.
33:40If I give her a job, it'll be a week before she's bored and chucks it.
33:41And then, we went up out in the house.
33:42Yeah, you can get me married.
33:43Oh, my God, you're now.
33:44Just making sure.
33:45You're not sure what you're going to get me.
33:47I'm going to get married.
33:48It's going to get married.
33:49You can't get married.
33:50I'm going to get married.
33:51I'm going to get married.
33:52No.
33:53And I go, OK.
33:54And then I go.
33:55Yeah.
33:56And then I go, that's a happy life.
33:58I'm going to get married.
33:59Oh, well, see what you think?
34:00I don't want to get married.
34:01What do you think?
34:02Well, er, yeah.
34:03You're rocking that, I guess.
34:04So, you've got married?
34:05That's a happy.
34:06No, I've got married.
34:07I was trying to go.
34:11pocket, me. This isn't even about the money is it? This is about you having one final
34:16dig up mum while you've got the chance. I'll tell you what, why don't we just all go along
34:18with it then eh? Like she was some kind of saint. She was for putting up with you. Oh
34:23yeah, that's right, yeah. That's right. That's the story isn't it? I was the problem. Well
34:27nan didn't think that of you. You reckon? Yeah, she was your mum. She loved you. Even
34:36if she didn't say it every two minutes. If she didn't think about me. Your shift's
34:45over.
34:49Sorry, I'm just working on my staff review. Can you come back later?
35:05What did you write about me? Oh, I'm afraid I found your rote and uninspiring
35:11methods somewhat lacking. Sorry. Is it okay if I borrow a...
35:16Tried and trusted methods. Waiting for a hands up. Have you even heard of cold calling?
35:22Oh, well I don't suppose there's much need for hands up and there's such little knowledge
35:26content. Look, I don't want to say any of it. I'm just making a point that any of us can
35:31go in and be negative.
35:36Look, suppose you do get the job. That will make you my boss. You can't tell me that that's
35:44not going to affect our relationship. No, I don't think it will, no, because there isn't
35:47going to be a relationship. Oh, come on.
35:49I don't think I want to be with someone who feels so obviously threatened by me.
35:54Sorry, is it... Is it okay if I just borrow these? Yes.
35:58PHONE RINGS
36:03Oh!
36:06We think this is a game. Apologies for disturbing lessons, everyone. Now, earlier today, as you
36:13know, we had a search for vapes. We've become aware that gangs are using vapes as a way...
36:18Tell your dad, you've heard all this before. I say it a bit louder, why don't you?
36:23Billy's a grass, whatever. I get it. You get it, man. You're Teflon. You're my new bestie.
36:31Right now, in this school, someone you know is involved with a drugs gang. And let me tell
36:37you, that person's life is in danger. I've died of boredom.
36:43Now, if it is you, we can help. You'll not be in trouble, and I promise you that I will
36:50keep you safe. If it's not you, then do you know who the person might be? Has someone you
36:57know been missing a lot of school without explanation? Do they seem more isolated than usual? Are
37:04they dropping out of activities? Do they suddenly have more money? If you recognise any of this
37:10in one of your mates, you owe it to them to come forward. It could save their life.
37:17Just ask yourself this question. How would I feel if something happened to my friend? How
37:23would I feel if they never got out of that world? Because I think you'd feel pretty terrible.
37:28I think you'd feel that maybe it was your fault. So please, if you're any sort of mate, do the
37:37right thing. OK? Thank you, six hours.
37:43We've got a Mog Richardson. Mog Richardson? Oi, Mog. Where are you going?
38:00Mog?
38:05Mog, you need to trust us. We know it was you. You're the girl that stopped going to the
38:12shop this morning. Was that when Carla gave you the package? Where were you really taking
38:16it to? Come on, I know it feels like no one can help, but we can. You can't though. Hey,
38:23we've been in this position loads of times. Believe me. Yet you're not the first person
38:28to be involved. I know it feels like no one can help, but we can. You can't though.
38:33Hey, we've been in this position loads of times. Believe me. Yet you're not the first person
38:40to be involved. The police? You can't tell the police. But we have to. Please, just give
38:45me the package just this once. You know we can't do that. But they'll kill me. And my mum.
38:50She said my mum could get her. You have a chance here, Mog. I can't do that.
38:56You have a chance here, Mog. Not just to help yourself, but to help others too. To stop Carla
39:06Duggan putting other kids into the position that you're in right now. That, that is not
39:11important right now, though. What is important is that we get you the help that you need.
39:15Mr Casey, a word. I do not want Carla Duggan walking away from this.
39:25Our responsibility is Mog. We refer to the police. We do what we can to support her and
39:31her family. The rest is out of our control. I don't accept that. I know it went bad for
39:35Carla, but that's not down to anything that you did. We've got to just do it by the book.
39:40I did it by the book, Joe. I referred her to the police, social services. Someone somewhere
39:45dropped the ball. I should have done more. I can't let that happen again. What do you think
39:48you're going to do? Go after her yourself? What do you want to move your door? Mr Liam Neeson?
39:52I want Carla Duggan out of the picture. For Mog's sake. For the sake of all children
39:57she's got her hooks into. And how are you going to do that?
40:03We get Mog to arrange a meeting and I go to. Are you out of your mind? I just need one chance
40:07to see Carla face to face. I really think... You are talking about deliberately putting
40:12a pupil in danger. No, it shouldn't be any danger because I... Steve, you said that you trust me.
40:16And I mean it. So don't do this. This is breaking every rule.
40:24Joe, sometimes in life you reach a fork in the road and you can either play by the rules
40:30or you can get stuff done. This needs fixing now.
40:35Look. I know you're scared. Any of us would be. You've been threatened. They threatened your mum.
40:50But my worry is, how many other kids is she doing this to? How many others didn't have the bravery
40:56to tell a friend? Mog. We can help stop this. Plus, well you brought drugs into my school
41:07and whatever the reason that is a permanent exclusion. What?
41:11I can help you with that but I need you to help me. If you want to stay in school.
41:19Call her. Tell her you want to meet.
41:26I think you sent one of your reviews to the wrong printer.
41:36Lacks authority. Really.
41:39Do you mind? It's an early draft.
41:43You heard what Coral said about me.
41:45I just never knew you were so ambitious. I presume you were as harsh on the other departments.
41:49Look, I just get the one free period when I'm not observing, so...
41:54I just... throwing your relationship away for a promotion. It's a bit more for Wall Street.
42:00Thank you for bringing back my private documents.
42:04Yeah, no, yeah. I can totally see it.
42:06Blood pressure rising because you've got the head and the trust and the governors to deal with
42:11and none of them agree with you about anything.
42:13Yes, well, I can be very diplomatic.
42:16Coral should realise that I am playing to win.
42:19Yeah, I think she's starting to.
42:22And I think that's why she's so disappointed.
42:27Coral is the best thing that has ever happened to you.
42:31You do realise she actually wants this job.
42:34This is not a game for her, you know.
42:36You were supposed to go to Leeds.
43:04I told you what to do. Dead simple. Why didn't you do it?
43:07Back off, Carla.
43:10What's this?
43:11Don't speak to her. You speak to me.
43:14Oh, my God. You're stupid. Do you know what you've done?
43:17I said don't speak to her.
43:19What do you want?
43:20I want to know how you made such a spectacular car crash of your life.
43:24Is that what you think?
43:25Because I make more money than you, I know that.
43:27Yeah, I'm sure you do. But how? Ruining kids' lives?
43:31Ruining them. I'm helping them.
43:34I'm the biggest job agency around here.
43:36What a waste.
43:37You could have done anything. You were dead clever.
43:40What do you know?
43:41Well, I know you had every opportunity.
43:42Who told you that, my mum?
43:44Surprised you could ever even get her down to the school.
43:46She couldn't get out of bed before half three.
43:48You're not the only one who had a crap start.
43:51But it's no excuse to make crap choices.
43:54Well, I've given you a million chances over the years.
43:57Let me give you one more.
43:59It's not too late to turn your life around.
44:03I can help you.
44:09Or you can take these and you can disappear.
44:12And you don't come near my school or my pupils ever again.
44:18You okay?
44:31Yeah.
44:32I can help.
44:41Mike Rutherford.
44:42Yeah, Steve Savage, Waterloo Road.
44:45It's not the best introduction, but you might want to know
44:47that there's a dark blue Mazda turning to Burnside Street.
44:52The driver may have some Class A drugs in the vehicle.
45:02What rhymes with heaven?
45:05Devon?
45:06You know people are staring at me.
45:08What?
45:09Yeah, because you knew.
45:10I'm actually not that bad to look at.
45:17That doesn't make sense.
45:18My nan never went to Devon.
45:22You know, I'm just going to end up like one of those freaks
45:24that people have to avoid.
45:25And I told my dad about it, but he didn't listen.
45:27Again.
45:28Mother does.
45:29I'm massively sympathetic and that, but you try writing
45:32something poetic about someone who wore the same tracky bottoms
45:36for three weeks.
45:39Why do you have to write it anyway?
45:41Because our Kelly Jones said it was my job.
45:44And would your nan really want you stressing out over a poem
45:46at a time like this?
45:48No.
45:49She's probably saying just copy it out of her book or something.
45:54No one will notice.
45:55Well, there we go.
45:56It's what she would have wanted.
46:01You're not that much of a freak.
46:04You might actually be quite useful to have a mind.
46:07Cheers.
46:08It's all right.
46:09Cheers.
46:23It's bad, isn't it?
46:24I'd be struggling too if I had to play in front of all my dead nan's mates.
46:29Nah, it's not that, really.
46:32Just, er...
46:36Bad day.
46:39Look.
46:41She's not awful.
46:43Right?
46:44You're just making things very hard for yourself.
46:46Yeah?
46:47Slow it down.
46:48She can always get faster.
46:49Yeah?
46:50She can make a mistake.
46:52Stop it.
46:53Get it.
46:54Move on.
46:55Yeah?
46:56Yeah.
46:57Right, we're gonna go from the, er...
46:58From the, the sea.
46:59The sea.
47:00Yeah.
47:01Yeah.
47:02Right.
47:03From the top.
47:04On you.
47:06The pipes, the pipes are falling.
47:10Preston, can you, can you not play that one?
47:12Oh, well, I'm, I'm just getting the hang of it.
47:14Yeah, it's just that that's what your, your nan used to sing to me when I was little.
47:18Er, yeah, I know.
47:20Um...
47:21She, she wanted me to play it at the funeral.
47:24Yeah?
47:25Yeah.
47:26Yeah.
47:27From the top, yeah?
47:28From the top.
47:29On you.
47:30Oh, Danny Boy.
47:33The pipes, the pipes are calling.
47:37Yes, you're getting it now.
47:39From Glen to Glen.
47:41And down the mountains side.
47:45Oh!
47:53How about...
47:54Remains?
47:55That's got some, like, fella getting his guts ripped out.
47:58I'm not reading anything from power and complex at my nan's funeral.
48:03Donut.
48:06Keeps me in isolation all day.
48:09Then says I'm lucky not to be excluded.
48:12I'm gonna wreck savage his head, man.
48:15Ian.
48:16I heard that's his lad.
48:25What, are you still doing here?
48:26Waiting for Kelly Jo?
48:27I'm not angry with her for anything she did.
48:40I'm not angry with her for anything she did.
48:41I'm angry with her for going.
48:55I'm not angry with her.
48:56I'm not angry with her.
48:57I'm not angry with her.
48:58I'm not angry with her.
48:59Still not having you back in there, showing me up.
49:02I've got you a cleaning job, though, if you want it.
49:08Are you serious?
49:09Have you done that?
49:10Have you fluked my eyelashes at that ex-boyfriend?
49:11Er, no!
49:12I'd rather that wasn't common knowledge, thank you.
49:13Okay.
49:14I've got it.
49:15Never happened.
49:16And, er...
49:18I'll find the money for Mum's funeral.
49:22You're right.
49:23She should go out the way she lived.
49:25OK. Got it. Never happened.
49:31And, er...
49:34I'll find the money for Mum's funeral.
49:37You're right. She should go out the way she lived.
49:42Taking two fingers up at the world.
49:46Sprout this on.
49:50Do you know what to stop?
49:55I think I need you more than I thought I did.
49:59Come here.
50:02I'll pay you back with my wages. I'm not...
50:05I don't want it.
50:08I'd rather see you getting yourself back on your feet.
50:11That's what Mum would have wanted.
50:20Mog, are you OK?
50:24Mum's on her way.
50:27What's going to happen?
50:29What's going to happen is we're going to do things properly.
50:32The police will speak to you, put you in touch with an agency
50:35that specialise in getting kids out of situations like this.
50:38I believe Carla Duggan has been arrested.
50:41Picked up with her quantity of drugs in her possession.
50:45Wendy, can we get Mog some tea?
50:48Come on, Mog.
51:04Steve, what you just did is unforgivable.
51:07She's been picked up by the police. It's over.
51:09You risked the kid's safety on a personal vendetta.
51:12I did what I had to do to keep her safe.
51:15Some mentoring advice I probably should have given you, Jo.
51:19What they're really paying you for when they make you the boss
51:22is to make decisions no-one else wants to.
51:24You cannot expect me to support...
51:26No, I don't. That's the beauty of it.
51:28I take all the risk. You take none of the responsibility.
51:32Enjoy it.
51:33Let me tell you, if there's a fire in this school while I'm head,
51:36I'm the one holding the matches.
51:38Jo, it's going to get bumpy.
51:41It's the only way I know.
51:42But I promise you, we will get to where we want to be.
51:45What, without giving me a heart attack in the process?
51:47Well, I can't promise you that.
51:49You're on.
51:54Our nan looks gorgeous.
51:56She always put in an effort, isn't she?
51:58Yeah, sometimes she manages to put on a dressing gown and slippers.
52:01Preston!
52:02What?
52:03Oh, I'm telling you, you need a mortgage for chips these days.
52:06Preston, plates, come on.
52:08Yeah, I like that one.
52:09That one needs to be on the front of the funeral booklet.
52:11Hey, that's the thought. What, we're going to bury her in?
52:13She'd want to go out looking her best, wouldn't she?
52:15Yeah.
52:16She wouldn't want no-one getting her stuff cheap in the charity shop, though.
52:19Oi!
52:20Has she still got them designer eels?
52:22Oh, not the ones she got for free.
52:24What, bought a bag pair from the market?
52:26Yeah, and then she took them down King Street,
52:28told them they were faulty and swapped them for a real pair.
52:31She'll still have them. I'll go and have a look.
52:41You all right?
52:43Hey, you know, guess what?
52:45Mr Savvy's messaged.
52:47Reckons he's got a new role for me and wants me to go see him about it.
52:50Right, yeah.
52:52It's brilliant.
52:53Hey, why didn't you tell me that you knew him?
52:56What do you mean?
52:58What, he said that you and him go way back?
53:00Yeah, well, I'd just lost my mum.
53:03I mean, wasn't the time to get out of the yearbook.
53:06Yeah.
53:07Yeah, of course not.
53:09And what I noticed in music is that Val begins with a communal warm-up.
53:18It knocked out a lot of the restlessness.
53:21It's something we could employ across subjects.
53:24I love it. I love it.
53:26What about rooms for improvement, Coral?
53:28Well, I must admit there are certain department heads that seem...
53:33...resistant to change.
53:36Sorry.
53:37I've been working on my feedback.
53:39OK, take a seat, Neil.
53:40Bye.
53:41Cool.
53:42As I was saying, my observations in certain departments gave me cause for concern.
53:48Actually, can I jump in with mine?
53:50Excuse me?
53:51It's just that I've got a war game club, you see, and I should really be there now.
53:56War game club's just you and Ralph.
53:58You can't just barge it.
53:59I happen to take my extracurricular duties seriously.
54:05Erm, sure.
54:06Neil.
54:07Alright, thank you.
54:08Erm...
54:09Right.
54:10I will be starting my observations with the English department.
54:15Miss Walker.
54:16Miss Walker.
54:28She comes in at weekends to do wall displays.
54:33Gives GCSE lessons in the holidays.
54:37Lives and breathes the job.
54:40And, er, for me, that's been an education.
54:47It goes without saying that she is unbelievably valued by pupils and by her colleagues.
54:54By me.
54:57Look, I know that the, er, this wasn't the aim of the review, but I would like to recommend Coral for Deputy Head.
55:05Oh, not yourself, aren't they?
55:06Mmm.
55:07Oh, great, you found them.
55:08Okay.
55:09Wait.
55:10No.
55:11What?
55:12Is that none?
55:13Oh, my God!
55:14I'm doing it from the social!
55:15Oh, she weren't daft, was she?
55:16How much is even in there?
55:17I've not even counted.
55:18Huh?
55:19Yeah, take this.
55:20Oh, my God!
55:21Oh, my God!
55:22Oh, my God!
55:23Oh, my God!
55:24Oh, my God!
55:25Oh, my God!
55:26Oh, my God!
55:27Oh, my God!
55:28Oh, my God!
55:29Oh, my God!
55:30Oh, my God!
55:31Oh, my God!
55:32Oh, my God!
55:33Oh, my God!
55:34Oh, my God!
55:35What's this?
55:38For the chips?
55:40What are you on about?
55:41I was going to have to pay for the funeral.
55:43No, you said you'd pay for that.
55:44This is separate.
55:46Well, if that's the case, I'm owed more than 30 quid.
55:49Well, it was in my house, so...
55:51Finders keepers.
55:52After everything I said before!
55:54The brass neck on you!
55:56Whoa, whoa, whoa!
55:57Hey, let it go!
55:58Come on.
55:59You won't get away with this, you thieving cow!
56:01Come on.
56:02Come on.
56:03It's on you.
56:04What about my chips?
56:06Thanks for today, everyone.
56:07I know it was a bit of a pain that you could have done without,
56:10but it was incredibly useful.
56:12And, actually, I enjoyed it.
56:13I enjoyed listening to how passionately you speak about this school, about the pupils,
56:18about your job, about each other.
56:21There it is.
56:23Daddy, boy!
56:24But in between all the words, I heard a request.
56:27You want change.
56:29Get lost!
56:30Hey!
56:31Come here!
56:33I'm not in that classroom inspiring children, enabling them to be the best version of themselves,
56:39giving them hope for their future.
56:41You may as well top yourself now.
56:43It's every second of every day that you spend in my school, you're all gonna wait.
56:49It's you in that classroom.
56:51It's you who they remember for the rest of their lives.
56:54And every time that you see me coming, you'll wish you were dead.
57:19You are not alone?
57:20I hope you werehtaed.
57:22Let me open it for you.
57:24Week.
57:25I love you.
57:26I need you.
57:27stage.
57:28As the Alexandre hill, you should discover your life.
57:30As the Dimension Video, you aren't going to leave a family anymore.
57:32Just Platz 2 on your eve.
57:33Let me enter from the commute.
57:34All Shelley.
57:35I need you to drive to investigate the box and you're trying to take your plans right in town.
57:37It's a wonderful welcoming thing.
57:38I love you.
57:40Two roads.
57:41Do not View.
