00:00Mum, we need to find the culprit.
00:02Mum! Mum, what have you done?
00:04She's off her drink, she's not going to go back.
00:06Are you sure? I mean...
00:08I believe her this time.
00:09See you, loser.
00:11Keep that out of my business.
00:14I want to lodge a complaint.
00:17I'm going to die.
00:24Playing with fire is no laughing matter.
00:26Will you help me die?
00:30Weekday
00:48Weekday
00:54Weekday
00:58Weekday
00:59Weekday
01:00I don't know.
01:30Get a move on will ya?
01:54Why do you always sit so long in there?
02:00Then again, I suppose there is a lot to wash in there.
02:10Are you not going to wait for me? I'll give you a lift.
02:12No thanks.
02:13Have you no idea what I'm going through?
02:15I thought I was getting everything back on track,
02:17but McFall victimising me?
02:19Well, it's all too much.
02:20And how is drinking going to help with that?
02:22Don't start on me, Connor, not now.
02:25You know she said I was being oversensitive?
02:28That I'm not right in the head?
02:30When did she say that?
02:32She always gets to me when no one else is around.
02:34I'm just worried she's going to convince everyone that I'm lying.
02:36She won't.
02:37Well, how do you know that?
02:39Even you started doubting me, my own son.
02:42Look, I'm not angry at you.
02:44It's just her playing her clever little tricks.
02:47But I refuse to back down.
02:49You can't let people just push you around.
02:57Is my skirt ready yet, miss?
02:59Sorry, flower.
03:00I'll have it for you tomorrow.
03:01Hmm?
03:02Are you alright?
03:03Fine.
03:05Jade.
03:06I have done me Aunty Carol's special pregnancy breakfast.
03:11There you go.
03:12She had half a dozen healthy babies, did Carol?
03:14Not all at once?
03:16No, you wally.
03:18Thanks, Maggie, but I'm not really hungry.
03:21It's not for you.
03:22It's for Junior.
03:24There you go.
03:25Now, scrambled eggs for the protein,
03:28wholemeal toast for the rovage,
03:30and sardines for the iron.
03:38Is there something wrong with it?
03:43Excuse me.
03:57Well, are you gonna tell us what's up
03:58or do I have to drag it out of you?
04:00What are you talking about?
04:01I'm fine.
04:02Yeah, you hardly touched your breakfast.
04:07You and Scout better not be kicking off again.
04:09I heard you arguing this morning.
04:11She thinks she owns this place.
04:12Enough.
04:13I'm not having you and her at each other's throats, man.
04:16You've got to try and get on.
04:18Please.
04:19For me.
04:20Hmm?
04:26Morning.
04:28Morning.
04:29Are you still angry at me?
04:31What would I have to be angry with you about?
04:33Michael, I'm sorry.
04:34The cash prize was a mistake.
04:36Yes, it was.
04:38But it was a week ago.
04:39Maybe it's time for us to move on.
04:41Well, that's fine, Lorraine, but you know what?
04:43It's not the only thing.
04:44You don't listen to me.
04:46I'm the man that you hired to run this place.
04:48So I'm stubborn.
04:49Listen, I'm new to all this.
04:50I'm not.
04:51That's what I do.
04:52Message received.
04:54And by way of an apology, I've got something for you.
04:56Or should I say someone?
04:58Who?
04:59A PA.
05:02Right.
05:03Yeah.
05:04She's coming in this morning.
05:06That's great.
05:08Did I just raise a smile?
05:09Morning.
05:24I've done the report you wanted on the bullying charge.
05:26I could probably set up the mediation for today, if you want.
05:29I don't want to be too hasty.
05:30You never know, it might blow over.
05:33The threat of it might help, though.
05:36Okay.
05:39Tom, this arse and red alert, don't you think?
05:42It's a bit...
05:43Excessive, yes.
05:44But ours is not to reason why and all that.
05:46Yeah, well, if I am to retain even a shard of my sanity, I must have my breaks.
05:51Well, tell me about it.
05:52Yeah, well, at least you don't have to spend every waking minute with the swine.
05:56Do you want me to do your lunchtime shift?
05:59Would you?
06:02Mediation, what, so she can twist everything?
06:05Thanks, Whitmore, thanks.
06:06Well, this is part of the process when you bring a formal complaint against a colleague, Christine.
06:11Unless you want to withdraw it.
06:13Oh, no.
06:15She's a bully, I don't see how talking about it's going to change that.
06:19You can see what I'm up against, but I'm happy to do that if you think it makes it straight.
06:23I want my name cleared.
06:24Thank you, Audrey.
06:25Don't let her drag you into it.
06:26I'm not, but this affects us too, you know.
06:28If my mum loses her job, then we're going to have to move again.
06:31She won't get sacked if she's telling the truth.
06:36Why don't you back off and leave my mum alone?
06:38I beg your pardon?
06:39You won't be happy to have ruined her career, will you?
06:42You shouldn't believe everything that woman tells you.
06:44That's my mother you're talking about.
06:45And a fine example she's setting you.
06:47I can see where you get your tendency to vent your spleen.
06:49I've got that book you wanted on war poetry, Connor.
06:52Excellent idea, Kevin.
06:54Real suffering for a noble cause.
06:56That should put things into perspective for you, Connor.
07:02What are you on about?
07:03Oh, there's no harm in keeping her sweet.
07:05Don't rise to the old witch.
07:06Shouldn't give her the satisfaction.
07:08See you later.
07:10Tracksuit bottoms are not uniform, Rhiannon.
07:12Go and change, please.
07:13Put my skates in the wash.
07:14Then you can get one from Lost Property.
07:16Are you serious?
07:17No.
07:18Please, Rhiannon.
07:19Michael.
07:20I think you should know the staff are starting to grumble about your firewatch rotor.
07:23Let me guess.
07:24Grantley?
07:25Well, not just him.
07:26Giving up their lunch breaks to patrol the school isn't what they signed up for.
07:29Well, it might not be, but we have to deal with this, Tom.
07:31If we go stoking it up, we could end up with a copycat on our hands.
07:34If we keep careful watch over the school, that won't happen, will it?
07:37Underhill.
07:38Here.
07:39You know I'm here for you.
07:40Wilson.
07:41Here.
07:42But you can't let her get to you like this.
07:43Right.
07:44Here.
07:45It's not about me.
07:46It's about Mum.
07:47Okay, everyone off you go and remember.
07:48Be careful out there.
07:49You all should be on strike.
07:50What about?
07:51Miss McFall.
07:52And her bullying.
07:53That's enough, Connor.
07:54Great.
07:55We're still daddy around here, isn't there?
07:56Hope it's you next in the firing line.
07:57I said that's enough.
07:58I'm telling you, mate.
07:59The shouting about it isn't going to get you anywhere.
08:00Yeah.
08:01Apparently not.
08:02So why don't you do something about it?
08:04Woah, look at the size of this.
08:06I thought we can't fit in a leg.
08:08He's big enough for an elephant.
08:09Give me that guy.
08:10No, I'm not.
08:11I'm not.
08:12I'm not.
08:13No, I'm not.
08:14I'm not.
08:15I'm not.
08:16I'm not.
08:17I'm not.
08:18I'm not.
08:19I'm not.
08:20I'm not.
08:21I'm not.
08:22I'm not.
08:23I'm not.
08:24I'm not.
08:25I'm not.
08:26I'm not.
08:27I'm not.
08:28Give me that and get out.
08:58Now, there is nothing like a first-hand account to get a real insight into what these men
09:05went through, which is why I have brought in something very special for you to look at.
09:11Now, my grandfather was a chaplain in the First World War.
09:15He was at the front, and these were the sermons that he gave to the men before they went into
09:20battle.
09:21Brave words to inspire very scared young men, some of whom would have been the same age as
09:28you are now.
09:30So, did he fight too, miss?
09:32Fortunately, no.
09:33Because he was a chaplain, he didn't have to.
09:36Or I probably wouldn't be here today.
09:38Woo-hoo.
09:39Lucky us.
09:41Do we get to rid it then, miss?
09:43Must have been pretty persuasive material to get young lads to give up their lives.
09:46Of course!
09:47I know I'm looking fabulous, but she'll be paying attention to her, not me.
09:54Thank you for that, Rhiannon.
09:56Now, if anyone would like to have a closer look at the book, come up at the end of the
10:00lesson.
10:01But you will have to wear these gloves.
10:03You saying I've got dirty hands or something?
10:05No.
10:06It's just the book is extremely delicate, and even the slightest bit of sweat from your
10:10fingers can damage it.
10:11I won't let her near it then, miss.
10:13She sweats like a fat pig.
10:14Jodie, that's enough.
10:16Oink, oink.
10:17If I'm a pig, you're a scrawny little rat.
10:19Sit down, Rhiannon.
10:21That's alright, miss.
10:22I'm happy standing if you don't mind.
10:23Yes, I do mind, actually.
10:24Please sit down.
10:25What's the big deal?
10:26I just want to stand up.
10:27First, you're extremely late, and now you're being insolent.
10:30If you're so keen to stand, you may do so outside.
10:33I will deal with you later.
11:03I thought we got dirty.
11:04Yes, I did.
11:05I think we got dirty.
11:06I saw you then.
11:07I think we got good here.
11:08Absolutely.
11:09I don't think we got dirty.
11:10I can't do anything.
11:11Because we got dirty.
11:12Yes, I do.
11:13I think we got dirty.
11:14But we got dirty.
11:16I thought we got dirty.
11:17We got dirty.
11:22Do you want to go?
11:23I know I don't have to do anything.
11:24Good morning, everyone.
11:45Good morning, everyone.
11:49Right.
11:49Uh, where's Rhiannon?
11:56Miss McFarl's kept her back.
11:58Oh.
12:00Has she now?
12:10What was that all about, Rhiannon?
12:12I've got to go to English.
12:14I think you need to take a long, hard look at yourself.
12:17I've got a test.
12:19I think you're compensating for your weight by playing the clown.
12:22You can't say that.
12:24Being overweight can affect your self-esteem and it can change the way other people view
12:27you, too.
12:28What's it got to do with you?
12:29I'm concerned for you, that's all.
12:31I'm trying to help.
12:32Well, leave me alone, then.
12:37What is the difference between endothermic and exothermic?
12:42Um, endothermic absorbs heat energy, exothermic gives it out.
12:47Whatever.
12:48Okay, so endothermic would be like an ice cube melting.
12:53And exothermic.
12:54And exothermic.
12:55Um...
12:56Get a little bit of this on the table.
12:57And then add a drop of this to it.
13:00What does that do?
13:01It causes an explosion.
13:03Which makes me pretty angry and it gets you guys sent to the cooler.
13:06Great.
13:07Oh, that's not actually fair, miss.
13:08Um, it's all my fault.
13:09I was just demonstrating the difference between endothermic and exothermic.
13:11And that was going to be totally exothermic.
13:12Well, I'm glad you see the benefits of practical demonstration, Kevin.
13:13Oh, yeah, I do, miss.
13:14It's all very well done.
13:15It's all very well done.
13:16It's all very well done.
13:17It's all very well done.
13:18It's all very well done.
13:19It's all very well done.
13:20It's all very well done.
13:21It's all very well done.
13:22And less talk, more do, kind of thing.
13:23I couldn't agree more.
13:24Off you go.
13:25Fair enough.
13:26Oh, thank you.
13:27Thank you, Miss.
13:28I'll be quiet.
13:29Oh, thank you, Miss.
13:30Oh, that's not actually fair, miss.
13:31It's all my fault.
13:32I was just demonstrating the difference between endothermic and exothermic.
13:33And that was going to be totally exothermic.
13:34Well, I'm glad you see the benefits of practical demonstration, Kevin.
13:35Oh, yeah, I do, miss.
13:36It's all very well talking about chemical reactions.
13:37But to really understand them, you have to see them in action.
13:39And less talk, more do, kind of thing.
13:41I couldn't agree more.
13:42Yeah.
13:43Off you go.
13:44Fair enough.
13:52Rhiannon, I understand what you're going through.
14:01No, you don't.
14:02I do.
14:03Trust me.
14:14That's me.
14:16Don't be stupid.
14:18It is, I promise.
14:20I used to spend my life comfort eating.
14:21I was very unhappy.
14:23I was bullied relentlessly at school.
14:34And eventually, I decided I'd had enough.
14:38Deep down, I knew I wasn't worthless.
14:40So I started being strict with myself.
14:43Less food, more exercise, a lot of work, a lot of discipline.
14:48And I lost weight.
14:50Turned my life around.
14:52I mean, suddenly, everybody looked at me differently.
14:54I started looking at myself differently.
14:57Why are you telling me this?
14:58Because I understand what you're going through.
15:01No, you don't.
15:01I take a group of staff, power walking, down by the water, every lunchtime.
15:08You should join us.
15:10Are you having a laugh?
15:11Oh, it's not that strenuous.
15:13We all motivate each other.
15:14It's fun.
15:15There's a sense of being in it together.
15:17I am not going with you and the other teachers, jogging.
15:20Power walking.
15:21All right, well then, just come for a stroll.
15:24But, Rhiannon, we've got to do something about your weight, haven't we?
15:28It's the root of your problems.
15:30So let's deal with it.
15:35Fine.
15:36That's settled.
15:37You'll come then.
15:37Just saying, there are smart ways to get at McFour.
15:52Sorry, sir.
16:07What do you think you're doing?
16:26Holding your pupil back so she misses my class?
16:28Bec your part.
16:29Thanks to you, she missed an important test.
16:32This is not the time or the place.
16:33Not only is it disruptive, it's also extremely rude.
16:36But I suspect you know that already, Audrey.
16:42You are in so much trouble with Miss Mulgrew and it's all your fault.
16:46No, it's not.
16:46Well, I told her it was.
16:48So what are you going to do about it?
16:49Jodie, leave her alone.
16:50I wasn't doing nothing.
16:52You two have been at loggerheads for far too long.
16:54It's high time you've sorted things out.
16:56No way.
16:57Right.
16:58Jodie, you will join us for our lunchtime power walk.
17:02See, if that doesn't clear your daft heads.
17:06Sorry to bother you, Michael.
17:15Is it important, Christine?
17:16I'm up to my eyes on it this morning.
17:18Ah, yes it is, I'm afraid.
17:19I just thought you should know that as a result of the bullying charge,
17:22Miss McFall is now trying to undermine my job as a teacher.
17:25Really?
17:26She kept Rhiannon back after her class, which meant she must have a very important test with me.
17:30No explanation, no apology, nothing.
17:33And I'm worried she's taking her aggression out on Connor too.
17:36Right.
17:38I said, Master, I assumed you would want to know if one of your teachers was compromising the professionalism of a colleague.
17:43I'll have a word with her, but you need to figure out a way of working together.
17:46You don't know what she's like.
17:47She's draconian.
17:48The woman is stuck in the dark ages.
17:50She has no place in a school like this.
17:51Christine, you started the ball rolling on this.
17:53You must have expected some fallout.
17:58All I can do is suggest that we bring the mediation forward.
18:01Is that what you want?
18:01Right, so, this is the secretary's office.
18:13Wow, this is all right.
18:15Sonia, just try and be cool, yeah?
18:17Remember, first impressions count.
18:18A window.
18:19So that's how I can keep an eye on him, eh?
18:21Are you listening?
18:23Right.
18:25First impressions count.
18:27Be cool, girl.
18:27Be cool.
18:31Come in.
18:35Sonia, this is Michael Byrne, our head teacher.
18:39Pleased to meet you, Mr Byrne.
18:40I've heard so much about you.
18:42Don't worry, it's all good.
18:43Sonia, have a seat.
18:46Did you have a chance to look at Sonia's CV?
18:48Yes, I had a quick scan.
18:51All seems very impressive.
18:53I see you volunteered for a children's charity working with...
18:56Little cherubs.
18:57Um, working with disaffected teenagers.
19:04I just love young people.
19:06All kinds.
19:07Sonia, why don't you tell Mr Byrne why you want the job?
19:12Right.
19:13Well.
19:15Um.
19:17Dead organised.
19:18I like everything to be neat and tidy.
19:23And...
19:24I'm a stickler for timing.
19:27Never like to be late.
19:29Good.
19:30And, er, what is it that appeals to you about this job in particular?
19:34Well, I've read a lot about the school.
19:38And heard a lot from Miss Donegan, obviously.
19:42I think it's great, what you're doing here, and...
19:47I'd really like to be part of it.
19:55OK, Sonia, thanks for coming in.
19:57No worries.
19:58Thanks for seeing me.
19:59We'll be in touch.
20:00Bye.
20:03So, come on.
20:06How'd I do?
20:07On the strength of that little shambles, I wouldn't hire you as the cleaner.
20:10Really?
20:10Everything all right?
20:13Yeah, I'll have to go.
20:14Oh, in that case, why don't we give Sonia a trial?
20:16She can make a start on the filing while you're out.
20:18Sure.
20:20Yeah, knock yourself out.
20:22Lorraine.
20:23OK.
20:29One of your rejects, I presume?
20:31It's a bit harsh.
20:33Where exactly did you find her?
20:34Well, she was recommended by a friend.
20:36Who you owe?
20:37Hang on, you put up with Janice for how long?
20:39Janice was...
20:40What?
20:41Efficiency personified.
20:42Inherited.
20:49What did he say?
20:50Just keep your head down, your mouth shut, and he might just give you the nod.
20:54Right.
20:55Sonia, if you mess this up, it could reflect badly on me.
20:58You make me sound like I'm a liability.
20:59You are a liability.
21:00I'm only doing this as a favour to Mum.
21:02No more free rides, remember?
21:03I'll be back to check on you later.
21:15I'm afraid I've not got long, Dad.
21:21You look much better today.
21:24I used to visit from my favourite nurse.
21:25Ah, the one with the blue eyes.
21:28No.
21:28The one with the drugs.
21:32Right.
21:36Funny how the prospect of death clears your mind.
21:42Does it?
21:43If I had my time again, I'd do things differently.
21:46Yeah, I know.
21:47I know that.
21:48I can't live like this.
21:52Dad?
21:52I can't do that.
21:58I'm not going to lose you.
21:59Not now.
22:00Not just as I'm finding you.
22:03So please don't ask me that again.
22:08Now, I've most teachers on that, Spar.
22:10With the right plan, we can get away with anything.
22:13And we can have some fun in the process.
22:16I think you're like me.
22:17You love a bit of chaos.
22:19So what is this plan that you're hatching, then?
22:20Well, you don't need to know the details.
22:23But have you ever heard of plausible deniability?
22:26Suffice to say, it's going to properly bring Miss McFall down.
22:30Just cover for me at the end of period four.
22:32Yeah?
22:33Yeah.
22:34And as her carer, I thought you should know she's pretty vulnerable at the moment.
22:37She seems her usual confrontational self to me.
22:42No, that's just a facade.
22:44Underneath it, she's got very low self-esteem, which I'm trying to help her with.
22:48Well, God help the poor girl if you're on her case.
22:51I presume you're talking about Rhianna?
22:53I wasn't talking to you, Christine.
22:54Excuse me, ladies.
22:55Well, I've talked to Michael about your plan to undermine me.
23:02I cannot work out if you're paranoid or just self-obsessed.
23:06But I was not trying to undermine you.
23:08I was trying to help a student who was upset and in need of some support.
23:15But this is my free period.
23:17I know.
23:17I'm sorry, it's really not fair.
23:21But it's Miss McFall's fault for keeping you behind.
23:24So why should I have to suffer?
23:27I had a word with her about it, but you know what she's like.
23:31Just don't let her push you around that she does everyone else.
23:35We did a test on Keats last week.
23:37And now we need to do another one.
23:39I can't let one of my stars fall behind.
23:41I need you leading from the front.
23:45I'm not a star.
23:46You have a lot of potential, my girl, more than you think.
23:49Now we're having a laugh.
23:50I'm serious.
23:53Just don't get distracted, okay?
23:56And if Miss McFall tries to keep you behind again,
23:59tell her you've got more important things to do than listen to her spouting.
24:02And if she doesn't like it, don't worry.
24:04I'll sort it.
24:07Here.
24:09You've got 40 minutes.
24:16The title is a reference to John Donne's No Man Is An Island.
24:24What does that mean, do we think?
24:26The people need other people.
24:28Right.
24:29But we can't exist in isolation,
24:31which within the context of the book,
24:33is all about comradeship.
24:35Now this is a recurring theme of the novel.
24:36Now we know that these men are prepared to die together.
24:42But what else is Hemingway telling us about Jordan?
24:45That he likes blowing things up.
24:47Well, I was actually thinking along the lines of Jordan's sense of duty,
24:51but thank you, Kevin.
24:52Well, it's quite a tragic love story too, isn't it?
24:54He's willing to sacrifice his girlfriend for his cause.
24:57Exactly.
24:59And the writer has us on tenterhooks about what he actually achieves.
25:02OK, turn to page 62 and read the first three passages, please.
25:07What's going on with you?
25:09What?
25:11You've been acting weird all day.
25:13You've barely spoken to me.
25:15I'm fine, just worried about Mum.
25:26Hmm.
25:28Looking good.
25:29Yeah.
25:30Excellent.
25:30I'll mark it later and give you the result tomorrow,
25:34but as I say,
25:35you have a lot of natural ability for analysing poetry.
25:38Oh, thanks.
25:43Are you all right?
25:45Um, sit down.
25:47Do you want some water?
25:48No, thanks.
25:49I'm just feeling totally rubbish today.
25:51Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
25:54And the last thing you need is McFall pushing you around.
25:56No, it's not that.
25:57No, but it can't help.
25:59I mean, I know what she's like.
26:00She's got a reputation.
26:04Is there...
26:05anything you want to tell me, Rhiannon?
26:09I'm fine now.
26:11Sure.
26:12It's probably because I haven't eaten.
26:14You not eating?
26:16Well, that's a first.
26:16Can I go now?
26:20Sure.
26:21And, um, well done.
26:28Er, is Mr. Burn in?
26:30Not in at the moment.
26:31Er, I'm Sonia.
26:33Er, I should come back later.
26:34I need to go back to class.
26:36Oh, never mind that.
26:37Come here.
26:42Tell me, what's Mr. Burn like?
26:46I mean, I was quite surprised when I met him.
26:48Me sister never said he was so buff.
26:50Your sister?
26:58Sonia.
26:59When exactly were you going to tell me about this?
27:06Well, you would have guessed sooner or later.
27:09I mean, we'd have spit at each other, don't you think?
27:13Can you ask Miss McFall to come and see me, please?
27:15She's history.
27:17Oh, dear.
27:18No.
27:19She's head of history.
27:22Oh, right.
27:24Sorry.
27:25Turn right out the door, down the corridor, through the crush hall.
27:29Sonia!
27:37Oh, they're right.
27:47Come in.
27:49Hello.
27:50Sorry to bother you.
27:52I'm Sonia.
27:53Mr. Burns' PA.
27:54Well, for the day, anyway.
27:56Hopefully permanent.
27:57Fingers crossed.
27:58I'm on trial.
27:59Oh.
28:00Well, good luck.
28:02Thanks.
28:05Can I help you?
28:06Oh, yeah.
28:08Mr. Byrne was wondering if you'd pop along and see him.
28:10Mr. Chalk, can you help me with this cordon unstuck?
28:26Yeah.
28:26Oh, what a pickle, eh?
28:34How interesting.
28:36Let's see what we can do.
28:37Hmm.
28:38now, yeah.
28:51It's okay.
28:52Come on.
29:03She's plucked this whole scenario out of her fevered imagination.
29:11Enough of the recriminations.
29:12It's like dealing with a couple of bickering pupils.
29:16Uh, I'm going to bring the mediation forward.
29:19You're both free period sex.
29:24Well, if you'll...
29:25Excuse me, I promised Rhiannon I'd help her this lunchtime.
29:29I'm a woman of my word, if nothing else.
29:33Oh, watch where you're going.
30:00Sorry, I haven't found my way around yet and I'm a bit lost.
30:03Who exactly are you?
30:05I'm Sonia. Mr Burns' PA?
30:07Well, hopefully.
30:09I wouldn't look so damn happy about it if I were you.
30:12Why's that?
30:13There's only one thing worse than not getting that job.
30:16What's that?
30:17Getting it.
30:18What do you mean? I'm loving it.
30:20Mr Burns seems really nice in this place as well.
30:23It's brilliant, isn't it?
30:25You're either woefully naive or mentally incompetent.
30:28Either way, you'll fit right in.
30:32I wouldn't have thought a skinny rat like you could afford to miss lunch, Scout.
30:59Well, I'm quite surprised to see you today, to be honest.
31:05Well, of course. I've been looking forward to this for ages.
31:08I know.
31:09I'd understand if you didn't want to join us today, Sean.
31:11Don't be silly, Audrey. We're all adults, OK?
31:14Rhiannon, well done. How are you feeling?
31:17Up for anything, me, miss?
31:18Good girl. Take it at your own pace, but I want you to try and push yourself, all right?
31:22I'm faster than this lot any day.
31:24That's the spirit!
31:30Come on.
31:32Can you move, please?
31:33What the hell's going on?
31:35There's been a fire.
31:36Started deliberately by the look of it.
31:38And you are?
31:39Sonia.
31:40Michael's PA?
31:41He hasn't got a PA.
31:43Yet.
31:43I'm on trial.
31:45This looks like a book.
31:47Why would anyone want to burn that?
31:49Because it's Audrey's?
31:50Come on, Jodie.
32:03Approach this with the right attitude and you might actually find you enjoy it.
32:06Yeah, likely.
32:08Who wants to walk with a bunch of old fogies?
32:10I want you to look after Rhiannon, OK?
32:12Oh, do I have to?
32:13Yes.
32:15Are you sure she's fit enough to this, miss?
32:16Well, we're hardly doing the marathon, and yes, I am sure.
32:19We have to push ourselves, Jodie.
32:25If you're that tired, you may as well go back now.
32:27What's the matter?
32:28Where did I beat you?
32:30Yeah, of course I have.
32:32I could if I wanted to.
32:33Ha!
32:33I could run backwards and still beat you.
32:36Pfft, wanna bet?
32:37All right, then.
32:47Get back!
32:50Give me just your hand.
32:51Oh, get off me.
32:52Suit yourself.
32:53And another thing.
33:06It's highly unlikely that the fire was accidental.
33:09Thank you, Sonia.
33:09And the fact it was placed on Miss McFall's desk suggests a statement.
33:13Sonia, do you mind?
33:14Sorry.
33:15Thank you for putting out the fire.
33:17We'll see you later.
33:18Right.
33:19I can't believe this has happened again, right under our nose.
33:22Well, it isn't necessarily the arsonist.
33:24Look, like I was saying, we might have a copycat.
33:27The fire was started during lesson time, so let's get hold of the registers and find
33:30out who's unaccounted for.
33:34Connor!
33:35Have you heard about the fire?
33:37What?
33:38Someone's burnt some stupid bit of arteries.
33:42Well, now she might actually realise how much everybody hates her.
33:47And she accused you of being over-sensitive.
33:50Oh, who cares?
33:51If someone wants to help me in finding ways to get rid of her, then bring it on, I say.
33:55Finding ways?
33:58What, like manipulating people into thinking you're the victim?
34:02And much less bullying is actually true.
34:04No, she's got a point.
34:09You're not right in the head.
34:12Oh, grow up, Connor.
34:13And don't start judging me.
34:18Rhiannon!
34:20Rhiannon!
34:21Why are you beating yourself up?
34:22Let's just go back to school.
34:25You all right?
34:26Rhiannon!
34:27Oh, get off me.
34:28I'm just trying to help.
34:29Yeah, right.
34:31I bet you're loving this, aren't you?
34:33Do you want me to get you some water?
34:35Er, what are they teaching?
34:36Oh, just leave me alone.
34:39What's that?
34:40Leave me alone, will you?
34:44Don't you dare tell anyone.
34:46Why?
34:47What's happened?
34:48Oh, just go away.
34:58All right, Kevin.
34:59Er, why did you leave the, er, study period early?
35:01I didn't.
35:03Yes, you did.
35:04Tried to find you at the end.
35:06I wanted to ask your advice on some coding.
35:10Oh, yeah.
35:11Er, it's not a legal to go to the toilet, is it?
35:13No, no, no.
35:14Of course not.
35:18Sorry, I didn't think you'd notice.
35:21Hey, it was worth it, though, wasn't it?
35:23Obviously rocked a few boats.
35:24I don't know.
35:27It was really important to our family.
35:29I did it for you.
35:30Maybe you shouldn't have.
35:31You said she was asking for it.
35:33And you smell good as your family.
35:35We need to find Miss Diamond and be worried about us.
35:46And you need to tell her.
35:48Tell her what?
35:49That you're injured and that Miss McFall forced you.
35:52She's got no right to do that.
35:54I mean, it wasn't like a punishment for anything, was it?
35:56I'm not talking to any teachers.
35:58What do they care?
35:59Hey, what's happened?
36:00Miss McFall's been looking for you.
36:01Sorry, Miss.
36:03We got really behind.
36:05Rhiannon, you're bleeding.
36:07I'm fine.
36:08She's not.
36:09She fell.
36:10I think we'd better get you back to the school nurse.
36:12No, I don't need the nurse.
36:14Just get me to the changing room.
36:15All right, we'll see.
36:31There you go.
36:38Thank you, dear.
36:39It's the least I could do.
36:41You poor thing.
36:42This must be very upsetting.
36:44My mother gave this to my sister.
36:47And when she became ill, she passed it on to me.
36:50I'm so sorry, Audrey.
36:51My grandfather wrote little notes in the margins about which sermons had had the most impact on the young soldiers.
37:00It was more than a family document.
37:03It was an important record.
37:06I can't believe someone would do something like this on purpose.
37:09There's some very sad and twisted people out there.
37:14How is your trial day going?
37:20Not great, to be honest.
37:22I'm not sure Mr. Burns is too happy with me.
37:24And now he knows I'm Lorraine's sister, I reckon he won't want me round.
37:28You're Miss Donegan's sister?
37:30Really?
37:31Can't he tell?
37:35Well, now you mention it.
37:38Dead proud of her.
37:40Not that I'd tell her that to her face, mind.
37:43What do you mean?
37:44I wasn't there, so I don't know.
37:46But she said Miss McFall were banging on about her weight and that.
37:49And she had to go on the walk with her.
37:51And she made me go to punishment.
37:53Keep an eye on her.
37:54I'll be back in a minute.
37:57Are you all right?
38:14Why aren't you at lunch?
38:20Lost my appetite.
38:21If you've come here to get all self-righteous, you're wasting your time.
38:24I am not listening.
38:25Have you any idea what you've done?
38:27With any luck, I'll have to get rid of the vile witch.
38:29By lying?
38:30I really thought she was bullying you and I tried to support you like you asked.
38:33If you and your little girlfriend hadn't poked your noses in where they didn't belong, none of this would have happened.
38:37Oh, so it's our fault now, is it?
38:39Yes, it is.
38:41The sooner you cut loose from that little tart, the better.
38:43She's not the one causing all the problems.
38:45She is clouding your judgment, Connor.
38:47Yeah, and the drink's clouding yours.
38:49You're pathetic, you know that.
38:50I am cleaning up your mess.
38:52If you don't like how I'm doing it, tough.
39:05Audrey, can I have a word?
39:08Certainly.
39:09Did you make Rihanna go on that walk?
39:12I suggested she join us.
39:14I certainly didn't force her.
39:15Right, well, it seems she fainted halfway through.
39:18The scouts brought her back to school, but they're under the impression that you made her do it?
39:21I sent Scout on the walk as a punishment, but not Rihanna.
39:24She was upset this morning.
39:26I wanted to help her.
39:27I thought the fresh air would do her good.
39:28It obviously didn't.
39:30Well, I didn't mean to be pushy.
39:32Can I talk to her?
39:33Yeah, by all means.
39:34They're in the girls' changing rooms.
39:35Thanks for letting me know.
39:36Okay.
39:37This won't affect the mediation, will it?
39:40So you're going to tell me what happened?
39:49Did you cut yourself on purpose?
40:00Why can't you just mind your own business and leave me alone?
40:04You have, aren't you?
40:07If you tell anyone, I'll kill you.
40:09I won't, I promise.
40:15Doesn't it hurt?
40:17Yeah, a bit.
40:22So, why do you do it?
40:25Don't know.
40:26Makes me feel better.
40:27Can you give us a moment, please, Jodie?
40:44I am so sorry if it seemed I was forcing you.
40:50I was trying to make things better for you.
40:52I should have listened instead of preaching.
40:55That's okay, miss.
40:56No, it's not.
40:58I was trying to help you.
41:00And I've gone about it in completely the wrong way.
41:03There are worse teachers than you.
41:07We're a tricky lot, I know.
41:11And I suppose you don't believe you can trust us.
41:14We must seem like the enemy sometimes, always telling you what to do.
41:19But I promise you, Rhiannon,
41:21if you feel like talking,
41:23whatever you tell me will be strictly between us.
41:26There is something.
41:32It's okay.
41:33You can tell me.
41:34You can tell me.
41:34But how can it be, Kevin?
41:59The fires were happening before he arrived.
42:00Look, I'm not saying he's the arsonist.
42:02I'm just saying I think he might have been involved today.
42:03All right.
42:04Thanks, Daniel.
42:04Keep this to yourself for now.
42:07Well, that's what I was saying.
42:09Now we've got our copycat to contend with.
42:11Well, what exactly are you advocating?
42:13That we ignore the fires?
42:14No.
42:14Well, I'm saying that by letting him know how seriously we're taking it, we might be making
42:18it worse.
42:19Tom, I don't care what it takes.
42:21We have to find out who's behind us.
42:23So let's start by talking to Kevin.
42:26I'm so sorry to hear this, Rhiannon.
42:29But you did the right thing by talking about it.
42:32You know there are specialist counsellors who could help you?
42:36If you want me to, I could introduce you to someone, but only if you want me to.
42:41Do you ever think about it and let me know when you're ready?
42:45I know you've not had an easy time of it, have you?
42:49Do you have any contact with your family?
42:52I don't ever want to see my parents again, that's for sure.
42:55What were they like?
42:56They didn't love us, they didn't give us stuff about us.
43:01Do you have brothers and sisters?
43:04A brother, Lee.
43:06Do you ever see him?
43:07We were split up and we were taken into care.
43:11Would you like to see him again?
43:14Looking like this.
43:17What does that matter?
43:20He's a footballer.
43:22Why would he want to see me?
43:23He's brilliant and everyone adores him.
43:28What would he think?
43:30That you're his sister.
43:32And he loves you.
43:34And he's missed you.
43:36That's all.
43:36I think you should contact him.
43:44I bet he'd love to see you.
43:51Mr. Chalk says you left early.
43:53Yep.
43:54About 30 seconds early.
43:56Am I not allowed to go to the toilet?
43:58Fire was started just before the lunch bell and you were unaccounted for at that time.
44:02In a proper court of law you need means, motive and opportunity.
44:05Right now all it seems to me is you have opportunity.
44:08So why would I want to set fire to a moth-eaten book?
44:11That's what I want to know.
44:13Well that's an easy one.
44:14I wouldn't.
44:16Anyway, it's obvious you didn't.
44:17You're arsonist.
44:18Thank you for your insight.
44:21You can go for now.
44:29Should I just ignore her instead of letting her get to me?
44:31She shouldn't give what she can't take.
44:33I know.
44:34I still feel bad though.
44:36Underneath it all she's actually alright.
44:38So what was her problem then?
44:40Why was she always malving up?
44:43You know what they say?
44:44The best form of defence is attack.
44:46Are you okay?
44:51I've really messed up.
44:54I feel so bad.
44:56Do you have something to do with the fire?
45:00But I never knew I was going to do that.
45:03It's all my fault.
45:05No it's not Connor.
45:07It's her fault.
45:08We've got to get you away from her.
45:12Yeah.
45:14I think you're right.
45:16All right.
45:21Things going well with Sonia then?
45:23Not exactly a chip off the old block.
45:25What are you talking about?
45:26The fact that she's your sister.
45:29Look, I know I should have told you,
45:30but you wouldn't have given her the time of day
45:31if you knew she was my sister.
45:33No, of course I wouldn't.
45:34And I don't want your spy in my office.
45:36Spy?
45:37Why would I want to spy on you?
45:38Tell me.
45:39What are you so worried about anyway?
45:41You've got something to hide?
45:42No.
45:43So what's the problem?
45:44You need a new PA.
45:45I've found us what I can afford.
45:47It smacks of nepotism, if you ask me.
45:50What, for your information, I detest nepotism,
45:52which is why I've never given Sonia a job.
45:53Right, so what's this?
45:54We should be working for you, not me.
45:56If she gets the job.
45:57My apologies.
46:01Thank you, Audrey.
46:05So, as you know, the purpose of the session
46:07is to try and resolve the problem by talking it through.
46:10Talk a way out of it, more like.
46:12If you can both try and keep an open mind,
46:14we might be able to leave here today with it behind us.
46:17Isn't that what we want?
46:18Sean, I would like to say something,
46:20and it may speed things up a bit.
46:22Go ahead.
46:22I learned something about myself today.
46:26I made an error of judgment,
46:28and it's made me realize that there may be some truth,
46:32a fragment of truth, in what Christine is saying.
46:37I'm sorry if my attitude's been misconstrued,
46:39and I would like to apologize to you, Christine,
46:44if I've been pushing,
46:45and if you feel I've intimidated you in any way.
46:48It was not my intention.
46:49Christine?
46:55Well, I'm glad you've finally seen the light.
46:57If you accept her apology,
46:59we could close the matter here and now.
47:00I really am genuinely sorry, Christine.
47:06That's all very well,
47:07but now you've admitted you're a bully,
47:08I don't see that you've got any right to be teaching.
47:11I mean, you were even at it today.
47:12That's hardly a sign of remorse, is it?
47:14So I'm sorry.
47:15But your apology isn't enough.
47:17Christine, you mustn't understand how serious this is.
47:22Of course I do.
47:23This complaint will go on Audrey's record as it is.
47:26If you pursue the matter, the implications could be serious.
47:28She's clearly hell-bent on destroying my reputation, Sean.
47:33There's nothing more I can do or say to appease you.
47:35So you just go ahead and do whatever it is you feel you need to do.
47:40Well, I will.
47:45Well, I'm sorry you've taken this position, Christine.
47:49You do realise if it falls the other way,
47:50it could be you that's in trouble.
47:52Michael won't tolerate a false accusation against a colleague.
47:55You do know that.
47:56Kevin?
48:08Kevin!
48:09You alright?
48:10No.
48:11I'm not alright as it goes.
48:12Why did you have to go and tell Mr Byrne that I left to study period early?
48:15Because you did.
48:16Well, thanks a bunch.
48:17Now he's accusing me of starting that fire.
48:19Well, it was you, wasn't it?
48:20I thought you were on my side.
48:26I am.
48:27I'm not going to turn a blind eye when you do something stupid, am I?
48:30Why did you do it?
48:33I don't know.
48:35I wanted to be someone round here.
48:37Get some respect, make my mark, you know?
48:39That is not how you get respect.
48:41That's how you get thrown out.
48:43Look, you're a smart lad.
48:44You're a really smart lad.
48:47Why don't you just be yourself?
48:48That's impressive enough.
48:50Is Mr Byrne going to kick me out?
48:55I don't know.
48:57But look, if you want a chance at saving yourself,
48:59you better get back in there and take responsibility for what you've done.
49:03I'll come in with you if you like.
49:06Come on.
49:12Kevin approached me and admitted everything.
49:14Well, after he'd already been accused.
49:17He's sorry for lying.
49:18And once he started, he couldn't find reverse gear.
49:22No, no.
49:22The fire was a calculated act deliberately destroying articles of property that were of great personal value to Miss McFall.
49:28He's still trying to find his feet.
49:31He mistakenly thought it would gain him some respect.
49:35Respect?
49:35What kind of idiot thinks that starting fires will gain him respect?
49:40He regrets it.
49:41Yeah, well, it's a bit late for that now, isn't it?
49:43What kind of message will we be sending out if we allow this type of criminal behaviour to go unpunished?
49:48I'm not saying it should go unpunished.
49:52He's got great potential.
49:54You kick him out now, it could have damaging consequences for the rest of his life.
49:58What kind of message is that sending out?
49:59Fine.
50:04Then we'll let Miss McFall decide.
50:08Thank you, sir.
50:13I've been an idiot, and I'm so sorry.
50:17That book must have meant a lot to you.
50:20Why did you do it, Kevin?
50:21I don't know.
50:26Some crazy spur-of-the-moment idea that doing something dangerous would make me look cool.
50:32I suppose it's just, well, I've always been a bit of an outsider, and I don't want to be.
50:40You know that all you've achieved is to put your future in jeopardy.
50:46I know.
50:47But if you give me a second chance, I'll show you what I can do.
50:50I'll show you I'm worth keeping, and I'll make up for what I've done.
50:54I'll do voluntary work around the school.
50:57Whatever it takes.
50:59Just, please, give me another chance.
51:03You won't regret it.
51:04You know, I'm a great believer that in life, it's not just what happens that counts, but how we deal with it.
51:11I've also been stupid today, and I hope I've learnt from it.
51:15You've been brave admitting what you've done.
51:17And I think you have it in you to make us all proud.
51:22So if you're asking for my opinion, I think you should be given a second chance.
51:30Sorry to interrupt.
51:31Just to say, I'm off now.
51:35Don't worry.
51:36I know I ain't got the job.
51:37But thanks for the opportunity.
51:44She's a lovely girl, Michael.
51:46In the spirit of second chances.
51:49Sonia!
51:58See you tomorrow.
52:00Yes!
52:01Kevin, I'll leave you with Miss McFowl to decide on your punishment.
52:11You've been given a second chance.
52:13Don't take it for granted.
52:21Thank you, sir.
52:22I really thought that was it.
52:24So did I.
52:26I didn't mean what I said earlier.
52:28I was mad.
52:29That's all.
52:29That's okay.
52:31Hey, it all turned out for the best, didn't it?
52:35You'd make a really great fuss to Dad, you know?
52:37You reckon?
52:38Yeah.
52:40I do, actually.
52:41Well, thanks, mate.
52:43I'll, er, I'll see you tomorrow.
52:45I'll see you tomorrow.
52:45I'll see you tomorrow.
52:46I'll see you tomorrow.
52:46All right.
52:53Hey.
52:55How's that?
52:55Well, I find it difficult to believe that woman's a bully.
52:58Oh, she's not a bully.
52:59I think she probably has her moments.
53:01Anyway, Christine's a no more to compromise.
53:04Well, I think we just have to let this thing run its course.
53:06It's a shame to lose either of them, though.
53:08I value them both.
53:09Hmm.
53:10My dad's expecting me.
53:11Oh, how is he?
53:13Eh, up and down.
53:15He's better today, but I don't think he can take much more of it.
53:18Sorry.
53:19I think he's aware that it's only a matter of time.
53:25He asked me to help him.
53:29What?
53:30I know.
53:32Well, tell me you're not considering it.
53:35Michael, he could change his mind and decide to put up a fight at any moment.
53:40The man's in agony.
53:41What kind of existence is that?
53:42Well, it's not for you to end his life, is it?
53:44Besides which, it's illegal.
53:45I've got to go.
53:47See you tomorrow.
53:48Michael.
53:49I'll come with you.
53:55He is well fit.
53:58Don't know about that, but he's well good.
54:00When am I going to meet him?
54:01Forget that.
54:02He's way out of your league.
54:04Anyway, he's got a girlfriend.
54:05Says so on Facebook.
54:06Oh.
54:07You going to get in touch with him?
54:10Yeah, I reckon I will.
54:13You're not as bad as you made out, you know.
54:15Well, I bet.
54:17I really hated you.
54:18I'm not surprised.
54:21After what I did.
54:25It's all right.
54:26I forgive you.
54:27I still think he is well fit, though.
54:33He's still out of your league.
54:34Whatever.
54:37How's your brother?
54:39Liam in it?
54:41He's okay.
54:43He said he's missing my mum, law.
54:47What are his foster mum and dad like?
54:48They're all right, I guess, but it's not the same, is it?
54:54Is it fostering?
54:56It's not family.
54:57Imogen, Imogen, Imogen, Imogen.
55:14Did you ever stop texting that girl?
55:16Well, it wasn't Imogen.
55:20Surprise, surprise.
55:22We're not seeing her anymore.
55:23It's over.
55:26You were right.
55:30Right?
55:30Well, I'm sorry to hear that, son, but I do think it's for the best.
55:37And stay away from him.
55:45He is trouble.
55:50I think I'll try to get out to see the footy next week.
55:53Fed up watching it on the telly.
55:55Yeah?
55:55Well, it's great that you're feeling up to it.
55:57I'm sure I will be.
55:59I can get two tickets if you fancy joining me.
56:01I don't know what sort of girl you take me for, Minnie.
56:03They're very respectful to pretty girls these days.
56:07I see.
56:08Well, if you're up for it, I am too.
56:12Right, I'd better go.
56:14Thank you for the tea.
56:16Are you sure you can't stay for another one?
56:17No, I've got a mountain of marking to do, unfortunately.
56:20I'll see you tomorrow, then.
56:22See you tomorrow.
56:23I'll stop in and see you soon, Billy.
56:24Take care, okay?
56:26Stay out, love, Miss Chegg.
56:27Well, well, love.
56:28Bye.
56:29Bye.
56:33Don't have to pretend, Dad.
56:39Not for Sian or anyone else.
56:42Pretending's all I've got left.
56:44Fine, then.
56:45Put on a show.
56:50Or put up a fight.
56:57Everyone loves a fighter.
56:58I've got nothing in the tank.
57:05Oh, I wish I had.
57:07I wish I could make you proud of me for once.
57:11See me battling against the odds.
57:14Then do it.
57:17Fight this.
57:17Just give us a bit more time together.
57:21I can't.
57:26I want out and I want you to help me.
57:37Okay.
57:42When the time comes, I'll help you.
57:47Some difficult pupils continue to hold the others back.
57:55Phoenix Taylor, I'm afraid, is an obvious example.
57:57It's time.
58:00Does my brother know that we're not coming back?
58:01What will your age look after him?
58:03Not me, right?
58:04Will you marry me?
58:08It's over, you stupid girl!
58:09Ah!
58:10Ah!
58:11Ah!
58:17Connor!
58:17Connor, you need to get out, come on!
58:20I thought she was done.
58:21She's ruined everything.
