00:00So, you've no idea why Boston wants to see me?
00:02Maybe it's about me going to America.
00:04Barry, are you jealous?
00:07I hope you don't mind, but we're using your visit as a fundraising opportunity for Casey.
00:12Yeah, it's cool.
00:13I'm telling you, we've not done too bad on the raffle.
00:15And this is what we made on the snacks.
00:19This is amazing.
00:20I'll pay to see what we made on.
00:27I'm just so warmed up about the wedding.
00:29Is that really all you can think about?
00:31Are you deliberately trying to undermine me?
00:33It seems your plan to discredit me has worked.
00:35I got the letter from your future father-in-law this morning, bringing the headteacher interviews forward.
00:39You might think I was about to throw in the towel, but you're under a hell of a fight.
00:59What is going on?
01:24I've got an interview to prepare for.
01:25Nearly there, nearly there, nearly there.
01:27Ta-da!
01:28Well, don't just stand there, man.
01:30In you come.
01:31It's all yours.
01:33Dance balls, I can't.
01:42I'll get it.
01:43You're early.
01:50Just came to wish your mum good luck with her interview.
01:52She doesn't need luck.
01:53She's got it in the bag, haven't you?
01:55You look great, by the way.
01:57Thanks.
01:58Shame I'm nervous as hell.
01:59You'll be fine.
02:00You've been doing the job all last term anyway.
02:01That's because Michael insisted.
02:03This time they have a choice.
02:04You mean Mr Lowsley?
02:06And others.
02:06You OK?
02:09Well, you know someone from the PTA sits in on the headteacher interviews?
02:14My mum's on the PTA.
02:17Your mum's on the interview panel?
02:19Look, it's not her decision.
02:20She can influence it, though.
02:22Sorry, I'm not doing it, but your mum and Mr Ben.
02:23Sally doesn't hate you.
02:24She just...
02:25It'll be fine.
02:25Just believe.
02:26Yeah.
02:27Believe.
02:27It's so exciting!
02:35Oh, look at the stairs!
02:38It's so amazing, isn't it?
02:40I know.
02:41Imagine a house all paid for.
02:43Oh, my God!
02:44Sis!
02:45Oh, I wasn't expecting you until the wedding tomorrow!
02:49How you doing, Sally?
02:52Holding up OK?
02:54A little bit nuts, this, isn't it?
02:55No, no, not at all.
02:56Not sure I'd want a house bought for me.
02:58Flight ticket's one thing, but this...
02:59It's a wedding gift, and it's just a deposit.
03:02You'll be paying the mortgage.
03:04Welcome to the family.
03:05You make it sound like with a mafia.
03:07I walk in the park by comparison.
03:09She's just trying to wind you both up.
03:10A place like this goes with a new job.
03:12I need to get it first.
03:14Aye!
03:14You've got a great CV, a good track record.
03:17You're not going to let me down now, are you, son, eh?
03:19No, no, no, of course not.
03:21Oh, Twinkle, come upstairs and see we've got his and hers matching.
03:24Sing for the old sweet pot!
03:26Amazing!
03:26Thanks!
03:27Ha, ha, ha, ha!
03:39Twinkle?
03:40Left on me?
03:41Twinkle?
03:42I'm a pro-boy, I'm so ready!
03:47I'm a pro-boy, I'm so ready!
03:48I'm a pro-boy, I'm so ready!
03:49I'm so ready to hide, somewhere to hide.
03:52It's a way to survive, somewhere to hide...
03:54I'll stay, kid.
03:56Pick you up after school and we are straight to that airport.
03:59It's going to be dead strange without you babes, just think.
04:02Last time you walked through these gates.
04:04She's only gone for a term.
04:06Yeah, I know. You know what I mean?
04:08Fuck are you, eh?
04:09We're grown up.
04:10A barry off to the States.
04:12All expenses paid.
04:15Come on, you.
04:17See ya.
04:18I bet your dad's thinking about what we could do with all that cash.
04:21Oh, shut it.
04:22At least my girls have done me proud.
04:23She's only going to America.
04:25Yeah?
04:26And I never thought in a million years I'd want mine to do that.
04:29So zip it.
04:33You want to be in with me, you've got to earn it.
04:36Name it.
04:38You see, Stevie Stusserhead.
04:40Weirdo, right?
04:41Right.
04:42Who is it?
04:43Hey, starter boy.
04:46Didn't you hear me, you little freak?
04:48Get lost.
04:50Mouthing off?
04:51I didn't have that.
04:53Stevie, where are you watching you going, please?
04:57Nice one.
04:59What did you do that for?
05:03That's more like it.
05:05K-k-k-k-k, got you to the tongue.
05:07Mum, I can't be here, I can't go in.
05:32Hey, superstar.
05:34I spoke to the course leaders in Miami last night and everything's set, so...
05:39How are you feeling?
05:40Oh, like she's finally tunneled her way out.
05:44A bit nervous, if I'm honest.
05:45She'll be fine when you've settled in.
05:47Of course she will.
05:48What sort of look forward to?
05:50Listen, we've organised a little bit of a presentation for later on.
05:53What sort of presentation?
05:56Well, we thought we'd get together some friends, present you with your money and send you off in a blaze of glory.
06:00Yeah, woo-hoo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, yes!
06:08Thank you, Darren.
06:10No way, that's well embarrassing.
06:12Well, we're not going to let you go without a bit of a fuss, are we?
06:17I'm here, love.
06:18Where are you?
06:20I'm over here, Mum.
06:22What are you doing in there?
06:25Mum, I can't be here.
06:28You can, Stevie.
06:30You've got to try.
06:33I'm not putting up with this.
06:40Simon, you look very smart.
06:42Oh, thank you.
06:43You too.
06:45This term has been very difficult for both of us.
06:48Well, it's what are under the bridge.
06:50Yeah.
06:52Are you OK?
06:52You seem a bit on edge.
06:53Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
06:54It's just what with the wedding and everything.
06:56Well, exciting times.
06:57Yeah.
06:58Yeah.
06:59So, today is a level playing field, yeah?
07:02May the best man win.
07:04Old woman.
07:08I'd like to speak to Mrs Mulgrew.
07:10I'm Avril Mack, Stevie's mum.
07:12Have you got an appointment?
07:13No.
07:14I don't need an appointment.
07:16My son's being bullied and I want to talk to someone.
07:18Now, Stevie didn't want to come into school today, but I insisted.
07:22Then they have a go at him before he even makes it through the door.
07:24And you lot go on about anti-bullying.
07:29Excuse me.
07:33I'm sorry to hear that, Stevie.
07:34I'm guessing you're not about to name names.
07:37These kids are making his life hell and I've had enough.
07:39You know Stevie has problems with his speech.
07:41It makes him a target.
07:43And we have support in place for that, but...
07:46Well, that doesn't stop those kids having a pop at them, does it?
07:48Never mind what's in place.
07:50What are you doing about that lot?
07:51Mum.
07:52No, it's gone on long enough.
07:58Mrs Mack, we will investigate this.
08:01Mr Lowsley is the best there is at dealing with these issues.
08:04Really?
08:04Is that before or after he's fiddled with his phone?
08:07I'm sorry.
08:07I apologise.
08:08Don't worry.
08:09We can sort it out.
08:12Stevie, could you wait outside with Sonia?
08:13We'll be out in a minute.
08:15Thank you, Mrs Mack.
08:16Oh, sorry.
08:23Look, I'll take it from here.
08:27If you could just head back to class and hand these out, please.
08:30Mr Lowsley, have you got a minute?
08:32Uh, I'm a bit busy right now.
08:33Well, um, I won't keep you.
08:36Stevie, do you want to wait in there?
08:41Sorry.
08:42It's just...
08:43Sue, that house was a bit of a surprise, you know?
08:46Good surprise, I hope.
08:48I just want to get this interview out of the way.
08:50Well, I've got something that might help.
08:51I didn't have a chance to give it to you at the house
08:53and I might not properly see you again before your interview.
08:56It's a crystal.
08:57Mum gave it to me before she died and, well, it's for luck.
09:00Oh, right, OK.
09:02Thanks.
09:03What do I do with it?
09:04Just the stick in your pocket.
09:06Right, OK.
09:08How's it going, lovebirds?
09:09Great, yeah.
09:10We went to see the new house this morning.
09:12Wow, you two don't hang about, do you?
09:14Talk about nesting instinct.
09:16You don't need to be babies next.
09:17Hey, you ain't got a little bun in the oven already, have you?
09:20No.
09:20Definitely not.
09:22Look, can we not talk about this now?
09:24Please.
09:26Anyhow, let's get on.
09:30Sue, now's really not the time.
09:32Seriously.
09:38Right, then.
09:39What are we going to do with you, eh?
09:41With me?
09:42Yeah, sorry.
09:43It's just a figure of speech.
09:45I mean...
09:48Look, Stevie, to be honest, there's not an awful lot we can do today.
09:51No, no, no, no, sir.
09:52No, because it's the last day, so it might be best if you can try and keep your head down
09:57and then we can start afresh after the break.
10:00N-n-n-next term?
10:02What if they have a go again?
10:05Sir?
10:07Sorry.
10:08You're right.
10:09I tell you what, I've got a bunch of stuff to sort this morning, so why don't we meet
10:15after lunch and we can have a proper chat then, yeah?
10:19Yeah, straight after the lunch bell, I promise.
10:21Hey, hey, you know me, right?
10:25Look, if you get any more grief, just, er...
10:29Just try and ignore it, you know?
10:32Anyway, off you go.
10:39And, of course, remember to elide the SNEA, so nous allons, vous allez, nous avons...
10:52Ah.
10:54Good morning, Mr. Mack.
10:56Good of you to join us.
10:58Quick as you can, please.
11:00Er, anywhere.
11:09The Yanks are gonna love you.
11:17I'll feel it in me waters.
11:19Not that they're gonna understand the words you're saying,
11:20cos you talk too fast, you dozy gal.
11:23Was that all right?
11:23Yeah, that was great.
11:26Oh, please, kill me now.
11:28Seat now, please.
11:30What's going on?
11:31We're recording messages to show Casey.
11:33They're making right idiots of themselves.
11:36We're gonna show them at the presentation.
11:37Will you do one, miss?
11:38Oh, I don't think so.
11:40Well, that's a shame.
11:41Cos I got you a card and a prezzy for tomorrow as well.
11:44Oh.
11:45Well, thank you.
11:47That's so kind.
11:48So, does that mean that we could get the rest of the lesson off?
11:51No, Kevin.
11:52But I will film a message for Casey.
11:55Thanks, miss.
12:00If...
12:01If...
12:02If...
12:03If...
12:04If...
12:05If...
12:06If...
12:07If...
12:08Ilia
12:10Combien
12:11They live?
12:13None by the time he finishes.
12:15We'll all be dead.
12:21Ow!
12:22Are they all right, Lisa?
12:24Stevie just threw something at me.
12:25Did.
12:26See?
12:27He even admits it.
12:28Not.
12:29Any more stunts like that, Lisa,
12:30and I'll put you on report for next term.
12:32How does that sound?
12:33You can't do that.
12:34Try me.
12:34But it was him...
12:35And there we go.
12:36You're on report for the whole of next term.
12:40I'll get you back for that.
12:42Morning.
12:44Ready for the onslaught?
12:46I can't say I enjoy interviews much.
12:48Don't mind them.
12:51Can't help feeling this place needs a fresh start.
12:53Really?
12:53Someone new entirely?
12:55Not completely.
12:56Just someone to blow away the cobwebs.
12:57Look, I've got a few minutes.
12:59I'll back them now.
13:03Oi!
13:04Loser!
13:06Happy now?
13:07Eh, not so fast.
13:09You owe me.
13:10Oh, you?
13:12No, nothing.
13:12I'm on report because of you.
13:14Tough.
13:15Your own fault.
13:17Your own fault.
13:18Stop it.
13:20I can't believe you just did that,
13:22you little rat.
13:22Hey, hey, hey!
13:23I don't think so.
13:25Do one.
13:25You deserve that.
13:34Oh, don't you start.
13:42How long have I got to do this for?
13:44Don't you start to feel sleepy?
13:46Oh, sick, come on, eh?
13:47Hey, what's going on?
13:49Where did you get that?
13:50Er, I found it.
13:51On the floor in one of the classrooms.
13:53On the floor?
13:54Yeah.
13:56Well, it's mine, so please give it back.
13:58Now!
14:03Oh.
14:03Sweet winner.
14:10Stevie, er, now's really not a good time.
14:12Can we just talk at lunch, yeah?
14:15Robert, everything all right?
14:17I was worried about you.
14:18You disappeared sharpish this morning.
14:19Yeah, yeah, I'm just really focused on the interview.
14:22Yeah, I need you at the top of your game today.
14:24I'm fine, honestly.
14:25Let me at him.
14:25Remember what I said, the 3P?
14:27Yeah.
14:28Performance, principles, passion.
14:30Good lad.
14:30End of term.
14:33Can I only mean one thing?
14:35No more work!
14:37No.
14:38Reading.
14:39For the holidays.
14:40Um, have you, er, have you got a minute?
14:46Well, I'm in a class.
14:47Is it important?
14:48Er, yeah.
14:50Like, times about a hundred.
14:52Good.
14:53Right.
14:54Rhiannon, could you hand these out, please?
14:57I'll be right back.
14:57Oh.
15:05Don't be alarmed, it's not the end of the world
15:09If we're breaking the rules, it's fine
15:12I disregard this kind of problem all the time
15:18It's not as if it's gonna kill anyone
15:24If there's no victim, then there's no crime
15:28Christine, everything okay?
15:31No.
15:32Casey's account has been cleared.
15:35Sonia got a call from the college
15:36and the money hasn't been transferred.
15:38They had an enrolment fees weeks ago.
15:40Yeah, but her maintenance and accommodation was due today.
15:43The college has said if it's not paid today, then Casey can't go.
15:47What do we do?
15:48We have to get her some money now.
15:50You see to your class and I will call the police.
15:52Ah, I don't do it till Casey.
15:53Well, we have to.
16:02You all right, miss?
16:03Looking well, right, P?
16:05Yeah, I'm fine, thank you.
16:06You might want to work on your happy face, then.
16:08Today's supposed to be a good day, isn't it?
16:11What with our case jetting out of here.
16:12Sorry.
16:21Sorry.
16:27Anything you need to tell me?
16:29About me?
16:30No?
16:30I don't think so.
16:43You all set for your interview, or have you forgotten anything?
16:46Well, I'm probably not as on top of the pupil stance as I should be, but...
16:49I meant this.
16:52A couple of fifth years, found it on the floor.
16:55If you didn't like it, you should have just said.
16:57No, no, I do like it.
16:58I do.
16:58Simon, are we OK?
17:02Yeah, yeah, of course.
17:04Let's put this on.
17:05Do you love me?
17:06You haven't said so in ages.
17:09Haven't I?
17:10I need to know.
17:12Now?
17:13Yes, now.
17:14I've pushed you into this.
17:16Quite the brides of the rear lead.
17:17Sue, listen.
17:18No, you listen to me.
17:19I know what it's like to be sucked into something that makes you unhappy.
17:22I am a rubbish, unhappy teacher.
17:25And I'm only doing this job because my dad didn't approve of me being a flight attendant.
17:29I won't do that to you.
17:31I don't need to do something that makes you miserable.
17:35What are you saying?
17:36What I'm saying is...
17:38I love you to bits.
17:41But I don't want to marry someone that doesn't love me back, so...
17:45If you want out, you should say so now.
17:47Do you?
17:49Sue.
17:50Sorry.
17:50Now's not a good time, Stevie.
17:53I was just waiting.
17:54It's really not a good time.
17:55Sue.
17:56Sue, wait.
17:57You...
17:58Look, not now, Stevie, all right?
18:04There you are.
18:05Look, it's about this.
18:06You don't care.
18:07Take it easy.
18:08I'm on your side.
18:09Shape my life.
18:10Shape it.
18:11Come on, then, you, Stevie.
18:14Oi!
18:15Get your hands off!
18:17Break it up!
18:19Get off that ball!
18:20What's happened?
18:27We have a problem with the money for Casey's trip.
18:30What sorts of problem?
18:31It's gone.
18:32All of it.
18:33We think someone accessed the bank account and stole it.
18:36What?
18:36Well, obviously, the bank are investigating.
18:39Hopefully, we'll have some answers soon, but...
18:41I'm not going, am I?
18:43We're doing everything we can.
18:44Well, you best put your fingers out,
18:46cos she is getting on a plane today.
18:47End of.
18:48Look, the thing is, the college has said...
18:50I don't give a monkey's what the college has said!
18:52I'm sick of you lot making false promises to my kids!
18:55Mum...
18:55Look, they need to be told,
18:57and if I get my hands
18:58on the thieving scumbag that did this,
19:00I will kill them!
19:01Mum, you're not helping.
19:02I need to do something.
19:04There's nothing you can do!
19:06And kicking off isn't going to help!
19:08I'm not going, all right?
19:10So just leave it!
19:12Hey, hey, I'll come with you.
19:14No!
19:15Back off!
19:17All of you.
19:19I want to be on my own, all right?
19:31What's wrong, kiddo?
19:33I'm not going to America.
19:35What?
19:38What are you on about?
19:40Tough.
19:41Whole thing.
19:44Do you want to talk about it?
19:47Come on.
19:51Nothing ever goes right for me, does it?
19:54Don't say that.
19:56I wanted this so bad.
20:00Do I deserve this for being a Barry?
20:02Hey.
20:03This is not your fault.
20:05Blame the school.
20:08If you want to blame anyone.
20:10Blame Boston.
20:11For bigging you up like that just to knock you down.
20:14Blame the lowlife who stole your money.
20:18You can't trust this lot of your case.
20:20They're full of it.
20:21But you'll be all right though, eh?
20:25You stick with me.
20:27Yeah.
20:28Oh, did you know?
20:29Oh, did you know?
20:42You know what?
20:44That the money had gone.
20:49Because you told me?
20:51No, I didn't.
20:53I just figured, you know?
20:55It's always about the money, isn't it?
20:57Barry.
20:58Barry.
21:00Did you take it?
21:03Me?
21:05Don't be soft, Case.
21:07It weren't me.
21:09Liar!
21:09You know how much I wanted this.
21:12Have you any idea what we could do in nearly ten grand, Case?
21:26You know, you just can't stand the thought of someone doing better than you, can you?
21:29No, see, because I want to keep this family together, something you clearly don't care about.
21:36How selfish is this?
21:52What are you doing?
21:54I know you're upset, Casey, but...
21:56Upset?
21:58You have no idea.
21:59Excuse me?
21:59You think you know me, but you don't.
22:03None of you do.
22:05I'm okay, Casey.
22:06No!
22:07You had to push it, didn't you?
22:09Make me believe in something that just doesn't happen for kids like me.
22:14Well, thanks.
22:16Thanks for nothing.
22:19You know, you've ruined my life.
22:23I hate you.
22:25Cooler now, Casey.
22:38In you go.
22:40Right.
22:42You need to sit down and think things through.
22:44It'll do you some good to clear your head.
22:45I don't need to think anything through, all right?
22:48Fine.
22:49You okay?
22:50Do I look okay?
23:05Do I look okay?
23:05Sorry.
23:05Really bad day.
23:07Sorry. Really bad day.
23:11What are you doing here anyway?
23:15Kicked off. Good.
23:19It's about time you stood up for yourself.
23:23Not really.
23:27Missed. Mr. Lowesley.
23:31You decked a teacher?
23:35Nice one.
23:39What about you?
23:41I thought you were gone. So did I.
23:45Wish I was.
23:49What's that?
23:53It helps you now.
23:55Well, sometimes.
23:57To talk about stuff.
24:03It's.
24:05From my.
24:07Dad.
24:09Well, that's good news, isn't it?
24:11So you two not get on.
24:15He's coming back.
24:21And you don't want him to.
24:25Who.
24:27What are you gonna do?
24:29I don't know.
24:33You should talk to your mum.
24:37And Mrs. Mulgrew.
24:39If it's bothering you that much.
24:41Is that what you.
24:43Would.
24:45Do.
24:47Well.
24:49I'm not you.
24:51But.
24:53Yeah.
24:55Yeah, I'd tell.
24:57I'm sorry.
24:59I messed up.
25:01I thought you had it under control, Simon.
25:03We told Mrs. Mike we'd sort things out.
25:05I know.
25:07I know.
25:08And I promised Stevie I'd have a proper chat with him over lunch.
25:10What?
25:11And he didn't want to?
25:12No, he did.
25:13That's why he was in the canteen.
25:14Only me and Sue were.
25:15Okay.
25:16Anyway.
25:17I took my eye off the ball, all right?
25:18That's probably part of the reason why he's upset.
25:21Is his mum coming in?
25:22On her way.
25:23Well, look.
25:24Let me speak to her, okay?
25:25I can explain.
25:26No.
25:27It'll be better coming from me.
25:28Stevie's the one you should be speaking to.
25:30Yeah.
25:31Look Stevie, I know you're angry.
25:36Right?
25:37And you have every right to be.
25:38Yeah.
25:39Two right he has.
25:40Yeah.
25:41All right, Casey.
25:42I kind of hoped we could put this behind us.
25:45Move on.
25:46What do you reckon?
25:50I messed up.
25:51All right?
25:52I made a promise.
25:53And I went back on it.
25:55I shouldn't have done that.
25:56I...
25:58Thought...
25:59That I could t-t-trust you.
26:04But...
26:06You're just like everyone else.
26:09I'm truly sorry.
26:11Really I am.
26:12I let you down badly.
26:15I'd like to try and make it up to you though.
26:17If you let me.
26:18You should go get your mum here.
26:20Come on.
26:22You should go get your mum here.
26:25Come on.
26:38Fighting?
26:39Must have been self defence.
26:41Apparently not.
26:42He lashed out at a fellow pupil and managed to hit Mr Lowsley in the process.
26:49Mrs Mack.
26:50Could I talk to you for a minute?
26:53I really don't see what there is to talk about.
26:56Mrs Mack.
26:58It sounds...
27:01...as if Stevie is angry about something.
27:04I wondered if you had any idea.
27:06Why would I?
27:07I wasn't here.
27:08I left him in your care, remember?
27:10I just wondered if there was anything else.
27:12Something at home.
27:13Perhaps.
27:15So now this is my fault?
27:16No, not at all.
27:20Do you think Stevie blames himself for something?
27:25No, I...
27:29And before you start, that doesn't make me a bad mother.
27:32Well that's what you're thinking.
27:33You teachers are all the same.
27:34No we're not.
27:36I have no room to talk about parenting.
27:38Just because I'm a teacher doesn't mean to say I know any more than you do.
27:43It's not easy being a single mum, you know.
27:46Yeah, I do know.
27:48It's just me and my son Connor at home.
27:51And I have the war wounds to prove it.
27:52Then you should know how this feels.
27:56What if this was your son hunting?
27:59What would you do about it?
28:18Whoa, whoa!
28:20You're gonna smash something?
28:21Why is it always the kids like Casey that get the raw deal?
28:25Isn't there anything the bank can do?
28:27Not today.
28:28Well maybe it's for the best.
28:30This boxing's so barbaric.
28:32The training camp will hold her place or won't there till her money comes through.
28:37She's gonna lose everything she's worked for.
28:40Huh.
28:41Unless...
28:42Unless...
28:44Unless what?
28:49I'm sorry to pull you out of glass, Connor, but it's important.
28:51What's the matter?
28:52Is that an interview?
28:54No, no, I just need you to have a chat with someone.
28:56Open and honestly.
28:57No holds barred, okay?
28:59About what?
29:00You'll see.
29:01You'll see.
29:06This is Mack.
29:08Avril.
29:09This is my son Connor.
29:11Um, Mrs Mulgrewy, are you sure this is a good idea?
29:14Yes, I am.
29:16I know this is a bit unorthodox, even by my standards.
29:20But, Connor, I need you to explain to Stevie...
29:24...what we've been through.
29:25What are you doing?
29:26I don't think there's any need.
29:28I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important.
29:31Yeah, but I don't know what you mean.
29:32Been through in what way?
29:35I mean about my Afghanistan.
29:39Mum, Christine...
29:40No, it's fine, really.
29:42Believe me, my son has seen things no kid deserves to see.
29:48But he is the only reason I got through it.
29:51Because eventually, we were truthful with each other.
30:00I need them to know that we coped.
30:02That things worked out.
30:05It's important for you.
30:10Okay.
30:11What about it?
30:13How bad did it get?
30:17Pretty bad.
30:22Um...
30:24I couldn't understand why she chose the drink over me.
30:30And I guess I thought it was my fault.
30:35So what did you do?
30:38I would self-destruct.
30:40And, um...
30:42I did some pretty bad things.
30:44And it's a place that I would never like to go back to.
30:47But...
30:49I guess...
30:51I guess I learned that it's never too late to change.
30:53How?
30:55By talking about it.
30:57It's a nightmare, huh? But it does...
30:59It does work.
31:03And now I'm really proud of her.
31:04Which is why, Stevie, if you need to talk to us or your mum about anything...
31:14You can.
31:18Listen...
31:20This is it, mate.
31:22It doesn't get any harder than now.
31:24It's...
31:26D...
31:28D...
31:30D...
31:31Dad.
31:33What about him?
31:35He s...
31:36Says he's coming back.
31:38What?
31:41And you don't want him to?
31:43No.
31:45He...
31:47Punches and...
31:49Beats.
31:50Who does he beat, Stevie?
31:53Me.
31:55It...
31:57It was all my fault.
31:59I...
32:00Got angry and...
32:02I'm sorry.
32:03Oh, no.
32:06Never.
32:08None of it was your fault.
32:11I'll give you guys a moment.
32:18I'll give you guys a moment.
32:41Christine, it's me.
32:43We're back on.
32:44We need to get everyone together.
32:45We need to get everyone together.
32:52Christine it's me. We're back on. We need to get everyone together.
33:13Yeah. Yeah. I know.
33:17I've got to hand it to you. That took some guts.
33:23Yeah, but we're good at dealing with hard times in my family.
33:26No, Christine. The way you just laid your heart on the line like that. I can't even guess how hard that must have been.
33:35And I can't ever imagine being able to do that myself.
33:39You know, when you first started, I thought, he won't last five minutes. The kids will chew him up and spit him out.
33:46But then I saw how you were with them at setting up the apprentice scheme and then with the junction.
33:52That was great.
33:57What happened, Simon?
33:59All this ambition?
34:03Teaching is a gift and you've got it.
34:07Don't blow it.
34:09You better get going.
34:17Good luck, Simon.
34:19Good luck.
34:20Good luck.
34:41Ah, Mr Loseley. Please come in. Come in. Good to see you. Take the seat.
34:46What is all this about?
34:53Mum? What are you doing here?
34:57Austin called me back in.
34:58Why?
34:59What for?
35:00Said it was good news.
35:01Oh, I don't know. One minute one on, next one off.
35:03I just took them a mess in our case here about.
35:08Obviously, it's a great asset that you're familiar with the school without being, well, overly tied to the current leadership, wouldn't you say?
35:17Sorry, how do you mean?
35:18Well, there are, I'm sure, things you'd like to improve. Perhaps you'd like to tell us about that.
35:25Not really.
35:28Take your time. We understand that you're nervous.
35:32No, no, I'm not nervous.
35:37I'm just not the man for the job.
35:41Not the man for the job?
35:43I'm sorry for wasting your time, everyone.
35:46I'd like to withdraw my application.
35:51Performance, principles, passion.
35:56Words synonymous with Christine Mulgrew.
35:59You're endorsing Mrs Mulgrew, given her history.
36:03You know, Christine's not perfect.
36:07But who is?
36:09And anyway, this job isn't about perfection, is it?
36:12It's about instinct and heart.
36:16And she's got both in spades.
36:19And what you call her history, well,
36:22it's actually life experience.
36:24Something she's prepared to use for the good of the pupils.
36:35I thought you wanted this job.
36:43Not like this.
36:48Excuse me.
36:49What was that about?
36:59I want to stay in the classroom.
37:01I want to learn.
37:03And if I ever reapply, I want to be considered on merit.
37:05Not because I might be the son-in-law of the LA head.
37:08What about everything we've talked about?
37:10We're different, Robert.
37:12I'm sorry if I've misled you, but I won't be bought.
37:14I don't want the house.
37:15Hey, the house was Sue's idea.
37:16She was the one who wanted to buy you.
37:21She wanted that, don't we?
37:23Yeah, it's no wonder, innit?
37:25Because she's got no confidence of her own.
37:27Because you forced her into a career she doesn't enjoy and shouldn't be in.
37:30I mean, who does that?
37:31Who would do that to their own daughter?
37:33Oh, you think she should have stayed being an heir stewardess?
37:35If it makes her happy, yes!
37:37What kind of father are you, anyway?
37:39How dare you criticise me?
37:41And how dare you show me up in front of that stuck-up mob?
37:43And which stuck-up mob is that exactly?
37:50I'm sure Sue will be interested to hear about your change of heart.
38:13In the real world, you don't win.
38:22In the first tale, wisest day.
38:26Hey, Case.
38:27What do you say we get on with that presentation of yours?
38:41Well, there's no point moping around here all day.
38:44You've got a flight to catch.
38:47The bank came through.
38:49Your money's been reinstated.
38:51What?
38:52I take it that your bags are still packed.
38:54But I don't understand.
38:56Don't worry.
38:57The bank's sorted it. That's all that matters.
39:00So you're coming or what?
39:01I told.
39:02Good on you, mate.
39:03Come on, love.
39:04What's that all about?
39:05Nothing.
39:06Nothing.
39:07Come on, everyone's waiting.
39:08Shouldn't you be at your interview?
39:09This is more important.
39:10No, Christine, it's not.
39:11You're doing an amazing thing.
39:13Good luck, Casey.
39:14Why do Mrs Mulholland have her in the room for you?
39:16I'm not.
39:17I'm not.
39:20I'm not.
39:21I'm not.
39:22I'm not.
39:23I'm not.
39:24You're not.
39:25I'm not.
39:26I'm not.
39:27You're not.
39:28I'm not.
39:29I'm not.
39:30I'm not.
39:32You are.
39:33I'm not.
39:34I'm not.
39:35I'm not.
39:36You're not.
39:37I'm not.
39:38I'm not.
39:39Why did Mrs. Mulgrew say that?
39:41There's nothing important.
39:42Come on.
39:43Come on.
39:47And here she is!
39:59OK, thank you, everyone.
40:02Casey going to America isn't just her dream come true,
40:05it's been everyone's,
40:06and you guys have raised over £9,000.
40:10So thank you so much.
40:15Now let's hear it for Casey Barry!
40:25I don't get here.
40:27Where did the money come from?
40:30You never did.
40:33It was worth every penny.
40:34Oh, thank you.
40:36Don't.
40:43Casey?
40:44This is for you.
40:48You all right, Casey?
40:50I'm going to miss you, you know.
40:52I hate goodbyes.
40:53You think I'd be good at it by now.
40:54And still,
40:56good on you, Gase.
40:58You're ace.
40:59I'm going to miss you.
41:00Go, girl.
41:04The Yanks are going to love you.
41:06I'll feed it in my waters.
41:08But not that you don't understand you,
41:09because you talk too fast to do as you can.
41:11Well, I have to say I'm disappointed.
41:16One walks out, one doesn't show up.
41:19Oh, I'm not so sure about that.
41:20Something more important to attend to, Mrs. Mulgrew?
41:26Oh, please.
41:29Well, we have been waiting over half an hour.
41:31We have to be fair to everyone.
41:32Which is why we'll hear you out.
41:41All right, our kids.
41:43Where to start?
41:45The truth.
41:47I'm dead proud of you, you know.
41:50My family is the most important thing to me.
41:54They're all I've got.
41:56And I would be lost without them.
41:59But I've always done my best for you.
42:01Put your face like...
42:02Really, you are a lesson to us all.
42:09A proper inspiration.
42:10And I just wish...
42:11They didn't come good, did they?
42:14Yeah, of course I did.
42:16I don't...
42:16You put that money up, didn't you?
42:19Because you're the star.
42:21Nobody's ever done anything like that for me before.
42:26I just want the best for you, Casey.
42:28You're going to be brilliant.
42:29Besides, I'm not going to spend it on designer handbags or shoes, am I?
42:33It's a shame everyone's not like you.
42:35He's right behind you.
42:37And me too.
42:41Make something of your life.
42:42What a beautiful speech, Barry.
42:50I'm actually quite choked.
42:52What a lucky sister I am.
43:02But...
43:03But it's all lies, isn't it?
43:07All of it.
43:10Every word he said.
43:12Are you all right, Case?
43:15My money.
43:18The money that you all raised for me.
43:21Stolen by him.
43:26My brother.
43:28The brother that loves me so much.
43:31Stole it.
43:32Can you believe that?
43:38You didn't, did you?
43:41What are you on about?
43:42You've got the money.
43:44You're going to America.
43:45What's your problem?
43:47Yeah, I am.
43:49But only because someone cares for me more than you do.
43:53Someone who put that money up out of their own pocket.
43:55I have no idea what you're on about.
43:59You, wasn't it?
44:00No.
44:01Right.
44:01Out.
44:02Now.
44:13We want confident pupils at Waterloo Road.
44:17Strong wills.
44:19Independent minds.
44:21Pupils who can face challenges themselves.
44:25I won't lie to you.
44:26There are better head teachers than me.
44:30More qualified.
44:33Less emotional.
44:36But I know I can do the job.
44:38And since I took over as acting head,
44:41I swear I have never wanted anything so much in my entire life
44:45to continue what we've started
44:47and to make a real difference to the students.
44:51Do you admit to personal issues?
44:54Is that relevant?
44:57No, I think it is.
44:59It's fair to say I've made mistakes.
45:02But I'm not going to hang my head in shame.
45:05I'm not proud of some of the things I've done,
45:06but I've come through it.
45:09And I am proud of that.
45:12Am I filled with hope for the future?
45:15Yes.
45:15Do I know how hard life can be,
45:17but problems can be overcome?
45:19Definitely.
45:21And will both those things help our students
45:22overcome their problems and fulfil their dreams?
45:26You bet.
45:30I think that answers your question, Mr Bain.
45:34Thank you, Christine.
45:35We'll be in touch.
45:37You stole from your own flesh and blood.
45:48See, but that's just it.
45:50That's why you did it.
45:51For us.
45:52For the family.
45:53You did it for yourself.
45:55Where's the cash now?
45:57It's safe.
45:57Mum, hang on a minute.
46:01I just think.
46:03No more worries.
46:05This will put us on our feet.
46:07It's nearly ten grand.
46:10You betrayed your sister.
46:12I always knew you had a black heart for this.
46:14You're going to give the money back
46:16and you're going to hand yourself in.
46:20Mum, please.
46:22I want him to give the money back,
46:23but I don't want anyone else in this family in prison.
46:26It's too late for that.
46:28Mum, please don't do this.
46:30Mrs Berry?
46:34You deserve to rot in hell.
46:38But thanks to your sister,
46:40I'm going to give you one last chance.
46:43Will that make it up to you?
46:45No, you won't.
46:47We don't want you out in my life.
46:49And theirs.
46:53You don't mean that.
46:54I've never been more serious about anything.
46:56My entire life.
46:58Just go, just go before I change my mind.
47:02Mum!
47:03Bunny!
47:04Go!
47:04I'll break that would make it up.
47:08There's always some reason
47:12to feel not good enough.
47:16And it's hard at the end of the day.
47:21You won't call the police?
47:29No.
47:31Thanks for everything, Miss.
47:35Are you okay?
47:36I'm okay.
47:44Come on, Rocky.
47:45Playman, wait.
47:46You better go.
47:51Be amazing, Casey.
47:54You too, Miss.
48:00Bye, Casey!
48:02Bye!
48:03Good luck!
48:04See you later!
48:05Bye!
48:05Have fun!
48:06See you, what a nerd.
48:22Dad, have you seen Simon?
48:25How did his interview go?
48:26Um, I'm afraid Simon walked out on the job.
48:33Why would he do that?
48:36He had some sort of a tant of conscience,
48:38a road to Damascus experience.
48:42Obviously, I think everything's changed.
48:46He said he doesn't want the house.
48:47And what about me?
48:52Does he still want me, Dad?
48:54I don't know.
49:02Mr. Lowsley?
49:04I've been thinking.
49:06You know I said I'd sort things out for you next term.
49:09Well, maybe we could have a chat over the holidays instead.
49:12I mean, only if you'd like.
49:15That would be good, sir.
49:17Now, we're out of school now.
49:18You can call me Simon.
49:19And you know that right hook you gave me in the dinner hall?
49:24I'll let you have that one.
49:26You've got the same hair.
49:45The job's yours, if you want it.
49:47Really?
49:49Yeah, of course I do.
49:52You should now sign me with Drew.
50:06What do Mr. Bean want?
50:08Just to tell me that's him.
50:09I got the job!
50:11I got the job!
50:12Are you kidding?
50:13I don't know.
50:14I can't wait.
50:16I can't wait.
50:17I can't wait.
50:17I can't wait.
50:18I can't wait.
50:19I'm sorry.
50:31I know.
50:33No wedding, right?
50:38No, I'm sorry for everything.
50:42For losing sight of myself.
50:46The kids.
50:49You.
50:56I don't want to pretend anymore.
50:59I want to do us for real.
51:03You laid your heart on the line for me and I wanted to serve that.
51:10If you let me try.
51:16Money.
51:17You look lovely.
51:28You look lovely.
51:42You don't look too bad yourself.
51:46Well, special occasion.
51:48Not every day you ask me to be your plus one.
51:51Well, Connor didn't really fancy it, you know.
51:54Touché.
51:55You should have been sharpish yesterday.
51:58Had me fearing the worst.
51:59You were right to.
52:01You are now looking at the official head of Waterloo Road.
52:06You're right.
52:07You're right.
52:07You're right.
52:08Really?
52:08Excellent.
52:09Double celebration.
52:12Definitely calls for champagne.
52:13Don't you think?
52:14Sounds good.
52:16Sounds good.
52:26So how did Lord Loseley take the news?
52:30Knows out of joint, I imagine?
52:33No.
52:34Seems he's kind of the reason I got it.
52:36What time did they call this?
52:45Five minutes after the last time you checked.
52:47Relax.
52:47They'll be here.
52:48Won't they?
52:49Yeah, of course they will.
52:50I didn't push her away, did I?
52:53Maybe I overdid it.
52:55What, agreeing to buy her a house and then frog-marching your son-in-law into a job?
52:58Yeah, I'd say you overdid it.
52:59You know you do it because you love us, really.
53:09Cheers.
53:13Champagne, anyone?
53:14Why not?
53:16And we need to raise a glass to the new head of Waterloo Road.
53:20You never did.
53:21I did?
53:22OMG!
53:23Congrats, Christine!
53:24Well done, boss.
53:25Simon pulled out, apparently.
53:27Bit of a turn up on books.
53:28The competition saw him off.
53:30Well, there is only one person who deserves that job.
53:33I'll raise a glass for that.
53:35Cheers.
53:36Cheers.
53:38And to the fact that Casey's money has mysteriously reappeared.
53:43Barry returned it.
53:44Seems he's got a conscience after all.
53:46Well, I've heard it all now.
53:49Excuse me, can I have your attention, please?
53:51There's been a slight change of plan.
53:54Sue and Simon send their apologies.
53:56Not to worry, they're still getting married.
53:59But they've decided to do it on their own.
54:02So, they've eloped.
54:06But they want us all to stay here and enjoy the party.
54:09Not least to keep Dad's drink topped up because he's still paying.
54:12As long as they're happy, that's fine by me.
54:21The newlyweds.
54:22The newlyweds!
54:24Oh, freedom.
54:32It's a brilliant feeling.
54:47Yeah, everything ahead of us.
54:49Who knows, we may still even have that chat about kids.
54:52Steady.
54:54One thing at a time from now on.
54:55In the arms of men.
55:03In the arms of love.
55:07In the arms of the play.
55:10Now, if I'd have known Sue had such sexy colleagues, I'd have called in at playtime.
55:15Who do you meet?
55:16Shall we get another drink?
55:24Come on, drink up.
55:27You deserve it.
55:27Shall we, er, go on somewhere else?
55:43Sure.
55:45Just gonna, er...
55:47Good call, Christy.
56:06Hey, Connor.
56:10I'm coming home.
56:13Are you ready, Mr. Loseley?
56:17Yes, Mrs. Loseley.
56:20Let's go, then.
56:23Your carriage.
56:26Get in there.
56:27Well, come on, get in there.
56:29Get sorted.
56:47Never look back and never give, never give, never give, never give, never give, never give, never give up.
57:06Waterloo Road will return in the new year.
57:18While doing the right thing comes with consequences for Glenn,
57:21someone call A&E.
