00:00Knocks from our city calls are criminals.
00:02Change the record, Lula.
00:03You make this school fee-paying and you will kill this community.
00:06Well, taking Waterloo Road back under L.A. control is good for everyone.
00:09Because we won't let it happen.
00:10And just how are you going to stop it?
00:12As long as the school keeps its head down, we'll be fine.
00:15You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
00:17You needed to know.
00:18On my wedding day!
00:20If you leave with him tonight, then you are not into me.
00:24Scope the factory, security, CCTV, everything.
00:28Too busy to take your old job back.
00:30You've got the future all mapped out, have you?
00:33Well, I don't know.
00:34I had a few thoughts on the church today.
00:58I feel good being back in the hot seat, Mr Byrne.
01:05Look, Nicky did her best.
01:07It's Robert Byrne from the Educational Department.
01:09Are you expected?
01:10Yeah, I'm here to see Michael Byrne and Lorraine Dunnett.
01:13Who's that?
01:15Oh, Michael.
01:16Right, yeah.
01:17He's here.
01:18Good morning.
01:19Good morning, how are you?
01:20Good.
01:21Thanks.
01:22You're welcome.
01:23Good morning.
01:24I'm very good.
01:25How are you?
01:26Excellent.
01:27Good.
01:28Just down here on the left.
01:29Can I get you a tea?
01:30Coffee?
01:31A tea?
01:32Yes.
01:33Lorraine not here yet?
01:35She'll be here.
01:36Don't worry.
01:37You know, I'm still surprised she agreed to this takeover.
01:41Why would you invest all that money then?
01:43Just walk away.
01:44That's multi-millionaires for you.
01:46Milk?
01:47Sugar?
01:48Your sister in yet?
01:52Oh, no, but she's just texted to ask me to bump your finance meeting to 10.30.
01:56Why didn't you call me?
01:57I've just got a text.
01:58Well, when she does get here, tell her I need to see her immediately.
02:01And two Ts when you get a second.
02:04Robert, I'm sorry.
02:05It looks like Lorraine's running a bit late this morning.
02:07I wondered if you could wait until maybe 10 o'clock.
02:10Oh, yeah, I've got a free morning.
02:11You could give me the tour.
02:13The committee still want me to cross the Ts and dot the Is.
02:16Problem?
02:17Um, Robert Bain is here.
02:20Director of Education.
02:22Just, something weird's going on and I just thought you should know.
02:26Um, give me a call back when you get this message and maybe just get into school.
02:30Alright?
02:31Wait.
02:35Lula?
02:36Starting early?
02:37Big day, miss.
02:38Trip to Knox Pharmaceuticals.
02:47How's things?
02:48Yeah?
02:49It's getting better.
02:50Ta-da!
02:52Are you really cooking tonight?
02:53Yeah.
02:54I thought you were joking.
02:55No.
02:56I, er, I stole the recipe from, er, Chalky's Masterchef book.
02:59Tagalatelig habanara.
03:00Ooh!
03:01Aren't you a boss?
03:02Yeah, yeah.
03:03Well, it's my dynasty.
03:04You are.
03:05Dynasty!
03:06You're not been answering me calls.
03:07You've got no signal, you new gaff.
03:09Just leave it, Mum.
03:10We're trying to get on with our lives right now.
03:12Hey, hey, look.
03:13No things haven't been easily, but just come home.
03:16We can put things right.
03:17Things are right.
03:18What with that little weed?
03:19Kevin's been there for me.
03:21What have you done, eh?
03:22You've stood by me.
03:23Believe me.
03:24I believe you too, mate.
03:25Course I do.
03:26I'm here for you.
03:27But, you know, maybe if I hadn't turned you back on us, things might have been a bit different.
03:30Meanin'?
03:31Well, we would have protected you.
03:32What?
03:33And Kevin Cartwright?
03:34He's hardly Arnold Schwarzenegger.
03:35Yeah.
03:36I know.
03:37But he's man, I love him.
03:40Come on, let's go inside.
03:43Oh, Dinity, don't walk away, please.
03:46Come home.
03:47Look, I'm sorry, Mrs Barry, but she's already got her home.
03:50This is you, this, isn't it, eh?
03:52Turning me daughter against me.
03:54Hmm?
03:55You think you're better than everyone else, don't you?
03:57Locking down your nose, eh?
03:58With your fancy words.
03:59He hasn't even said it, Mum!
04:00You!
04:01Leave my daughter alone.
04:02Mum, what are you doing?
04:03I'm sorry, Mrs Barry, but I've got nothing against you.
04:05It's obvious you think we're scum.
04:08Yeah.
04:09Oh.
04:10He's got egg on his face.
04:11Very mature.
04:12Mum, get lost!
04:13What have I done?
04:14Dinity's happy, Mum.
04:15Can't you just leave her be?
04:16No.
04:17You're not going home.
04:18Buddy, you've got to stop it.
04:19Go on.
04:20Admitted.
04:21Lorraine's overcommitted.
04:22Running this place must make a hefty dent in the bank balance.
04:23Would you excuse me for a second?
04:24He's really busy.
04:25I'll see.
04:26Mr Barry, I'd like a word, please, about my dynasty.
04:27I'm sorry.
04:28I'm sorry, Mrs Barry, but we're rather busy this morning.
04:29You're not going home.
04:30You're not going home.
04:31Buddy, you've got to stop it.
04:36Go on.
04:37Admitted.
04:38Lorraine's overcommitted.
04:39Running this place must make a hefty dent in the bank balance.
04:43I'm sorry.
04:44I'm sorry, Mrs Barry, but we're rather busy this morning.
04:46Really?
04:47Well, that's a shame.
04:48After all my family have been through lately, you couldn't just squeeze me in later.
05:06I mean, I can wait.
05:08I promise I won't get in the way.
05:10Sonia, can we see if we can accommodate Mrs Barry later on?
05:12Look, you're really busy.
05:13Sonia, any time this afternoon, we'll be fine.
05:16And get Mrs Barry a cup of tea for me, please.
05:19Look, instead of us hanging about, why don't we have this to her?
05:23Okay.
05:39Miss?
05:41I couldn't sleep last night.
05:42I'm just so excited about getting into the Knox lab.
05:48I know how much you want to see the animals free again.
05:51Just remember, this is about raising awareness, showing what Knox is doing.
05:55I'm going to take my phone in so I can film inside.
05:58Okay.
05:59I'll see you on the bus, Miss.
06:01Lula, I'm not going.
06:02What?
06:03Well, they can't prosecute a child but me.
06:06Knox would make sure I didn't teach again.
06:09The batteries present a unique challenge but thanks to the PRU it's one we're more than happy to take on.
06:18Well, I'm looking forward to seeing it in action.
06:20What's going on in here?
06:22I thought I was showing you the PRU.
06:25Bob's your uncle.
06:26Fanny's your aunt.
06:27Apologies for the interruption, Mrs Budgen.
06:32Mr Bain here was keen to see what you and the class were getting up to today.
06:37Don't look too hard.
06:42I'm making it up as I go along.
06:45Everybody, carry on with your shopping lists.
06:48We're trialling a new initiative here today.
06:50Mrs Budgen will use her extensive experience in the professional world to help with life skills.
06:55Wow, wow.
06:56Very holistic.
06:58Well, I couldn't believe it when Mr Byrne gave us a go ahead.
07:01They never had anything like this in my day.
07:03My dear.
07:04We're using it as a bit of curriculum downtime for the sixth formers really.
07:08I mean, this lot right.
07:09There might be whiz kids on the internet but you give them a budget and a house to run.
07:15Well, I think what you're doing is great.
07:22My pleasure.
07:23That's what the private sector does so well.
07:26Innovate.
07:31Hi Jean.
07:32I'm with an I.
07:38I'm so excited.
07:39It's a trip to a pharmaceutical company, not Alton Towers.
07:42This trip is important.
07:44Why?
07:45Why?
07:46Casey, we need to make these people sit up and listen.
07:49And who are these people, Lula?
07:51Knox Pharmaceuticals.
07:53She never shut up about them.
07:55And this relates to Cathy's views on love how exactly?
07:58This means nothing.
08:00What uses Emily Bronte when there are things going on out there that actually matter?
08:06Okay.
08:07We need to have a little chat.
08:08Why?
08:09Outside.
08:10Now, please.
08:11The rest of you, get on with your work.
08:13Quietly.
08:20I was going to speak to you after the class.
08:21About what?
08:22But we thought about it and after your poison pen letters last week, we can't possibly let you go on the trip.
08:27But I've said I'm sorry about that.
08:30Miss Donegan doesn't want any more trouble.
08:32She's only interested in how much money Knox can make for her.
08:35It's none of your business where Miss Donegan invests her money.
08:42The decision's been made.
08:43You won't be going.
08:44I've got Mrs. Collins coming in to see you instead.
08:46No!
08:48I don't want to see a psychologist!
08:53This can be happening.
08:54It can.
08:55And it is.
08:56Now back inside.
08:59Now!
09:05See, I think in Act One, Macbeth is a war hero.
09:07He's brave.
09:08Honourable.
09:09Good point, Kevin.
09:10And that is why Duncan came to visit in the first place.
09:13Yeah, but Macbeth uses the visit to bump Duncan off.
09:17So you think Macbeth is a villain?
09:20Yeah.
09:21In scene three, it's Macbeth who starts thinking about murder.
09:24The witches never say kill the king.
09:26But they say he will be king.
09:28It is his destiny.
09:29Yeah, but he could change that though.
09:30Could he?
09:32Isn't that what the play is asking us?
09:34Is our fate set in stone or do we choose our futures?
09:38But that's in the witches' prophecy.
09:40Yes.
09:41It can't be Macbeth's fault.
09:42P.I.U.
09:43Of course.
09:44It's fine.
09:45Thank you, Miss Morgan.
09:46Well done.
09:51So what's happening with your new friend?
09:55Everyone's suspicious.
09:57We should talk.
09:59I thought maybe we could go out for lunch.
10:02I'll hold you to that.
10:04Got to.
10:05Go.
10:08He never takes her for lunch.
10:10Maybe he's got something important to say.
10:13Oh, she's been banging on about weddings since Miss Macfalls.
10:17Since the additional support app, we've struggled to sustain a referral unit.
10:22Not something I'm proud of.
10:23Well, we'll be happy to be a beacon of excellence for other schools.
10:28Hmm.
10:30It's just so rare to be handed a school that's doing so well that knows exactly where it's going.
10:35We've worked extremely hard to make a success of our PRU.
10:40And it should.
10:42I can't wait to thank Lorraine.
10:44Shall we?
10:45Yep.
10:46There's only one Year 12 group for English literature, Mrs Barry.
10:55So?
10:56So?
10:58The dynasty and Kevin can't be separated if they're both doing the same subjects.
11:02They're teenagers.
11:03They shouldn't be joined at the hip.
11:05I'll let you get started this as soon as possible.
11:07The process is quite complicated, so I'll just...
11:09I want to take my daughter out of this place.
11:11Mrs Barry, you'll have to wait.
11:12No.
11:13I've waited long enough.
11:14You don't send your kids here.
11:16Ah, well, actually, if mine were still young enough,
11:18I could think of nowhere better to send them.
11:20And from what Michael's told me, his school's worked wonders with yours.
11:23I wouldn't believe everything you hear, Mr Bain.
11:27And it's not his school.
11:29It's mine.
11:34I can't believe you haven't discussed this.
11:37Robert, look, I'm sorry.
11:38I just wanted you here to help explain to Lorraine our vision for the place.
11:41I have a plan for my school.
11:44Come on, Lorraine, this is your out.
11:45Work on an agreement with the LA.
11:47Robert's very impressed with what we're doing here.
11:49And that's down to our independence.
11:51Do you really need the grief?
11:54Mr Bain, I'm sorry.
11:56Michael's clearly wasted your time.
11:58Yes, he has.
12:00And I don't appreciate being used, Michael.
12:02Robert, please.
12:03I'll make one observation.
12:05Schools fail not because of poor teachers or badly behaved pupils.
12:09They fail because of a lack of clear leadership and direction.
12:13And for what it's worth, I think Michael knows more about leading a school than anyone.
12:18Michael lives in a fantasy land where private money's dirty and infect everything.
12:26It's called the 70s, but I'm way too young to remember.
12:28Lorraine, can we just...
12:29Here, did you get my voice now?
12:39What can I help?
12:40Just get him away from me for starters.
12:41Good.
12:42Lorraine, just listen to me.
12:44Give me a moment.
12:46What's happened?
12:47He wants me to give the school to the council.
12:49What's that?
12:51Don't pretend like you didn't know.
12:53Come on, my office.
13:04Did you know?
13:05No.
13:06Mr. Clarkson just told me.
13:08Sorry.
13:09Can't you talk to Miss Donegan or something?
13:12It wouldn't be appropriate.
13:14You talk about saving animals.
13:17You talk about doing something to stop their pain.
13:20But as soon as it gets difficult, you back down.
13:23There are some wars that just can't be won.
13:25If Miss Donegan says you can't go, there's nothing I nor Mr. Clarkson could do about it.
13:29Talk.
13:30All I hear is talk.
13:32You know what?
13:33I need your talk.
13:36Shall I go in, Miss?
13:37Wait, er, five minutes.
13:38I'll be right back.
13:43OK.
13:45Quiet, listen up.
13:47You need everyone to be on their best behaviour at the lab, please.
13:50Remember, you are all ambassadors for Waterloo Road.
13:53Now, Mr. Singh and Mrs. Abernethy will be supervising and reporting back on any nonsense.
13:58OK?
14:00Harley Taylor.
14:01Yep.
14:02Casey Barry.
14:03Yeah.
14:04Richard Barnes.
14:05Yeah.
14:06Sandra King.
14:07What are you doing there?
14:08OK, so let them have your normal phone.
14:11Smuggle this one in.
14:12For what?
14:13Roger Brown.
14:15Harley, film as much as you can.
14:17Louise Parker.
14:18OK?
14:19We need to see where they keep the animals, how they treat them, and then you can post it online after the tour.
14:24After the tour.
14:25I've already set up the link.
14:26And the Venice.
14:28Rebecca Walker.
14:29Are you sure about this?
14:30Of course.
14:31Are you not?
14:33Bonnie Perry.
14:34Oh, yeah.
14:35Good.
14:36Nicole Flores.
14:37Don't let me down.
14:39Please.
14:40OK?
14:41Ah, nice of you to join us.
14:42I'll get you on the bus.
14:43Right, now we can all get on the mini bus.
14:45Quietly.
14:46Please.
15:01I know about the council.
15:05Lorraine told me, well, shouted it at me.
15:09That's immaterial now.
15:10Lorraine won't budge.
15:13The deal's off.
15:14She wants things her own way.
15:18So she's still gonna charge fees?
15:22Well, she's digging her own grave.
15:24Just wish there was a way to make her see some sense.
15:28Well, I can help you with that over lunch.
15:32Be nice to get out for a bit.
15:37Lorraine's stubborn.
15:40I'm not sure you'll be able to make her change her mind.
15:42No, maybe I won't.
15:43Perhaps someone else will.
15:46In war, people get hurt.
15:59The butchers at Knox, they need to pay for hurting the innocent.
16:05Mr Clarkson tells me this passion for animal welfare has come about very quickly.
16:11Has anyone influenced you?
16:14A friend? A family member? A teacher?
16:17I can read, you know.
16:19The internet.
16:25I had enough.
16:27It was time to act.
16:29Coffee.
16:31Thanks.
16:33Got anything stronger?
16:34Do you know, it feels like you're the only one fighting my corner here.
16:37I owe you.
16:39I support you, Lorraine, but I'm not against Michael.
16:42What?
16:44He went behind my back.
16:45He had no right to do that.
16:47Have you ever considered the possibility that you're both as bad as each other?
16:51No.
16:52In my position, you have to know you're right all the time.
16:55PHONE RINGS
16:59Michael?
17:01He said I might lose my job if I didn't help him.
17:04You've lost me.
17:05Follow me.
17:06What's going on?
17:20Nicky, Sonia, could you leave us to it, please?
17:31What is this?
17:32Just look at the picture, Lorraine.
17:36This is the newspaper report from the day that we opened the school.
17:40Breathing new life into a dying community.
17:44Yeah.
17:46And?
17:48We did that.
17:51You and me.
17:54Council were going to knock this building down.
17:57Local kids were being bussed out miles to the new Havelock.
18:00I don't see how any of this is relevant.
18:02Tarek Siddiqui.
18:08A lost kid that we turned around.
18:11His parents could never have afforded to pay for his education.
18:17Jodie Allen.
18:19Now in her first term at teacher training.
18:21But look at the slogan, Lorraine.
18:24From the estate to the campus.
18:27We did that for her.
18:30Kevin Chalk.
18:32Up to now he's spent most of his life inside the care system.
18:36Yet...
18:38...he's the brightest kid I've ever had the honour of teaching.
18:42Liberty Gordon.
18:45Jade Fleming.
18:47Phoenix Taylor.
18:49The list goes on and on.
18:51All kids whose parents have no money that Waterloo Road sent on to better things.
18:55Michael.
18:57Cut the schmaltz.
18:58You stabbed me in the back and now I'm supposed to thank you for it?
19:10Lorraine Donegan, aged 15.
19:16She couldn't have paid for her education.
19:18Let our kids keep their school.
19:37Tell me a bit more about your family.
19:39And the pastor.
19:41You told her.
19:43I had to.
19:44You had no right!
19:45Lula, please.
19:47Mr. Clarkson briefed me.
19:48It's nothing untoward.
19:50It was in the past, okay?
19:52That's not really what I'm getting at.
19:55Sometimes we bury things from our past.
19:59Things we want to forget.
20:09I shouldn't have sent those letters.
20:11I know I was wrong.
20:12So, you understand that actions have consequences?
20:17Yes.
20:19I behaved badly and I wasn't allowed to go on the trip with other people.
20:28Lula, will you meet us halfway and help us find a way forward?
20:34Yes.
20:36That would be good.
20:38So, we'll set up some more sessions and take things one step at a time.
20:43Sounds like a plan.
20:46Okay, you can go to class.
21:10Well?
21:11Alright, I'll see you now.
21:13About time to.
21:15Right.
21:20I want to send a letter out to all parents.
21:22Then I want you to call an urgent staff meeting.
21:24Why? What are you going to do?
21:25That is none of your business.
21:26And I don't appreciate you giving that article to Michael.
21:29Oh, never. He had it already.
21:31Lorraine, I think you should listen to Michael about the council.
21:35Please don't be pig-headed.
21:36Who said I was being pig-headed?
21:38Who said I was being pig-headed?
21:39Now, just type, will you?
21:41Right.
21:43Dear parent.
21:45It is with much thought and consideration,
21:48I'm announcing today that Waterloo Road will want them separated.
21:51Denisty and Kevin's relationship is absolutely none of the school's business.
21:56If you have a problem with who your daughter is seeing,
21:58I suggest you take it up with her yourself.
22:01At home.
22:02Well, that's just it, see. She's not at home.
22:04She's shacked up with little Lord Fonsalroy
22:06and some fat that one of your teachers gave him.
22:08Mrs Barry,
22:10Denisty could do a lot worse than Kevin.
22:12What are you trying to say about my daughter?
22:14This conversation is over.
22:15You'll regret this.
22:17I doubt it.
22:27I'm about to talk to the staff.
22:29You coming?
22:36Now they teach you to chill, sort of little clonker.
22:39She's not in kind with the time table, son.
22:41Looks like Mr Byrne got rid.
22:42Never underestimate my mother.
22:47There's always a plan B.
22:53Everyone, can I have a moment?
22:55This won't take long.
23:01Michael's convinced me that my fee paying plan won't work.
23:07What are you telling us?
23:08So, from tomorrow, this is no longer Waterloo Road,
23:13but the Lorraine Donegan Institute of Excellence.
23:16What?
23:17What are you talking about?
23:18Is this a joke?
23:19You swayed me, Michael.
23:21Kids like Kevin and Tarek, they can't afford a private education.
23:24So they're all out.
23:25You can't do that.
23:27I just did.
23:28From next term, there'll be a 100% fee paying enrolment.
23:31Every pupil will get the benefit of my expertise,
23:33and when that generation is out there making millions,
23:36you can all pay me the respect I'm due.
23:39Now I know some of you won't like my plan.
23:41So this afternoon I'll be in the deputy's office.
23:44You can either sign up or collect your P45s.
23:47Is she for real?
23:54Just give me a minute.
24:01Rimey, where'd you learn how to type?
24:03It ain't my fault.
24:05Someone was leaning over me shoulder and put me off.
24:07Going out for lunch.
24:12When I get back, I'll clear my desk.
24:17Can she really change to fee paying just like that?
24:21Yeah.
24:22It's our school.
24:23After us all training up here to keep Waterloo Road alive,
24:25she's killing it.
24:27And what about the schoolhouse?
24:28The kids?
24:29Where are they gonna go?
24:31Clearly not a priority for Her Majesty.
24:33Well, it's obvious what you're gonna say to Lorraine.
24:35Well, I don't know what I'm going to say to her.
24:37I don't want to work in a private school,
24:38but trying to find somewhere new.
24:40The Lorraine Donegan Institute for Excellence
24:42where profit comes before people.
24:45Let's go.
24:56A what?
24:57Just don't.
25:03Aye.
25:05What?
25:08Two of them?
25:09You're joking.
25:10What's wrong?
25:12Right, I want them all on that bus and back here immediately.
25:16Yeah, I'll be waiting for them.
25:18Little cow.
25:19What's wrong?
25:20Lula Sibi.
25:21Her and her gang of little saboteurs have gone way too far this time.
25:23Drinking at lunchtime, sir.
25:24It's not like you.
25:25There's nothing else for it.
25:26Not exactly fighting talk.
25:27Oh, what's the point?
25:28I thought I was building something here.
25:29Asking all of those teachers to join me in Greenick, and for what?
25:30It's a disaster.
25:31Not just for the school, but for the whole community.
25:33I'm handing in my notice, and I'll do it properly this time.
25:34You're the best thing, isn't it?
25:35I'm handing in my notice, and I'll do it properly this time.
25:37You're the best thing in that place.
25:38The PRU, the exam results.
25:39I'm handing in my notice, and I'll do it properly this time.
25:40You're the best thing in that place.
25:41The PRU, the exam results.
25:42I don't know what's the point.
25:43I thought I was building something here.
25:44Asking all of those teachers to join me in Greenick, and for what?
25:48It's a disaster.
25:49Not just for the school, but for the whole community.
25:53I'm handing in my notice, and I'll do it properly this time.
26:00You're the best thing in that place.
26:05The PRU, the exam results, university acceptances.
26:09It's all because of you.
26:10You should be proud.
26:11I am.
26:20Michael.
26:23I meant what I said about moving.
26:26Yeah, I know.
26:28We can go anywhere.
26:31Yeah, but that's just it.
26:32Christina, I'm not sure where it is.
26:34Because I want to go.
26:41We can decide together.
26:45Christine.
26:46We're a team, aren't we?
26:48We're there for each other.
26:49We get on, we have a laugh.
26:50Yeah, of course we do.
26:52You have been my biggest champion.
26:57You know how much I care about you.
27:03Don't.
27:04Look, this isn't easy, alright?
27:06Maybe we've just been there for each other.
27:09I am still sober.
27:10That's not all because of me, is it?
27:12We've both been feeling guilty.
27:13You with your drinking and me about my father.
27:14Maybe it's just been an easy fit.
27:16Don't.
27:17Don't.
27:18Don't you dare.
27:19I know you probably don't want to hear it, Michael, but I love you.
27:21There, I said it.
27:22I love you.
27:23There, I said it.
27:24I love you.
27:25It's just a shame.
27:26You're too wound up to hear it.
27:28It's just a shame you're too wound up to hear it.
27:55Excuse me, last glass of white wine please.
27:59Christine.
28:01For me.
28:08Get off me!
28:09I know it was you behind things at Knox.
28:12I don't know what you're talking about.
28:17I pulled my heart and soul into this place and for what, hmm?
28:20For the likes of you to throw it back in my face will know more.
28:25This is my school and I want you out of it.
28:29Got it?
28:31Oh and just so you know,
28:33I'll be increasing my shares in Knox pharmaceuticals as of tomorrow.
28:36You can't do that!
28:37Just you watch me!
28:59Did you have it all planned?
29:00Lunch in a fancy restaurant, let her down gently.
29:01It's not like that.
29:02Well you really shouldn't have bothered, I'm obviously not worth it.
29:03Christine, I don't think that's a good idea.
29:04Christine, I don't think that's a good idea.
29:05I don't think that's a good idea.
29:06I don't think that's a good idea.
29:07I don't think that's a good idea.
29:08It's not like that.
29:09I don't think that's a good idea.
29:10I don't think that's a good idea.
29:11I don't think that's a good idea.
29:12I don't think I am.
29:13What did you think?
29:14I don't think that's a good idea.
29:17You were the one who gave me focus.
29:22How could you do this to me?
29:27Yes, I don't think it's a good idea.
29:39How could you do this to me?
29:40All right, we're all right.
29:41How could you do this to me?
29:42I'm sorry.
29:46I do...
29:46What, love me?
29:48Let me guess, you're just not in love with me.
29:58I wish I could find the right words.
30:03Christine, you're an intelligent, passionate woman,
30:06so I'm not gonna lie to you.
30:07You'd see right through me.
30:12In fact, I think you already have.
30:19I'm sorry, Christine, but I don't love you.
30:29Just trying to be honest.
30:31No, no, no, no.
30:33You said quite enough already.
30:37I don't know.
30:54Willa?
30:55There's no video, and Miss Donegan, she knows.
31:06Sorry, miss.
31:07We wanted to talk to Lila.
31:09We will never get the chance now.
31:11How can you be so stupid?
31:13I can kill you right now.
31:14Stop it.
31:15I told them exactly what to do.
31:17How can they screw it up?
31:19Are you happy now?
31:21Leaving the animals to be tortured.
31:23Enough!
31:25Lila!
31:27Er, is she giving you grief?
31:29No, it's fine.
31:31You two, cooler now.
31:34I heard all about your little phone japes at the lab.
31:36Move!
31:40These animal rights protests are getting out of hand.
31:43You do know that Lila saw a counsellor this morning?
31:45No.
31:46If there's anything wrong, I need to know.
31:48There's nothing wrong, Tone.
31:50Good.
31:51Well, wish me luck.
31:52I'm off to resign.
31:53Have you made up my mind?
31:55Well, I haven't a clue what I'm going to do yet.
32:08Hey!
32:11Shouldn't you be in class?
32:13Just go in, sir.
32:14Just go in, sir.
32:43Right, I want an employment lawyer on speed now, just in case.
32:44It's not precisely the type to get legal with me.
32:45Right, I want an employment lawyer on speed now, just in case.
32:46It's not precisely the type to get legal with me.
32:47Cheers.
32:48Cheers.
32:49Cheers.
32:50I don't care how much it's gonna go.
32:51I don't care how much it's gonna go.
32:52I don't care about her.
32:53I'm gonna close.
32:54I'm gonna close in.
32:55Right, I want an employment lawyer on speed, though, just in case.
33:09It's not precisely the type to get legal with me.
33:13Cheers.
33:19I don't care how much it's going to cost.
33:21This time next year, the school's going to be paying for itself anyway.
33:23Hello, y'all.
33:29I assume there's a class somewhere bereft of your presence.
33:32Make your way to it immediately, please.
33:34What?
33:35You won't be out of my back.
33:36You can't tell me what to do.
33:38Excuse me, young lady, but I think you'll find that I can, and I just have.
33:42Now, off you go.
33:44What was it?
33:53Audrey, take a seat.
34:03Right, let's get to business.
34:05In or out.
34:05I'm going to stay, what with Grantley and everything.
34:11I need this job.
34:12I don't even need to ask, do I?
34:13Correct.
34:14I just don't know what to say.
34:15This is so subtle.
34:16Actually, ma'am, I'm sorry, but I won't be requiring your services next term.
34:21It's not complicated.
34:22It won't be the same without Michael's leadership.
34:26But I suppose Waterloo Road, sorry, the Lorraine Donegan Institute of Excellence, would be rather
34:35handy for me.
34:36Your home economics, well, it's a gimmick, and the schoolhouse doesn't quite fit in with
34:40my plans going forward.
34:41And what about the kids who are living there already?
34:43Some of them have got nowhere else to go.
34:45I suppose I'll take that as a yes, then.
34:48Good.
34:55No odd feelings, Tom.
34:59The feeling isn't mutual.
35:06All the best.
35:15Um, Lorraine's seeing people in the deputy's office today.
35:29Yes, yes, I know that.
35:30Um, it's you I've come to see.
35:36I'm going to be staying on here.
35:40And a lot of our friends are going to be leaving.
35:42I just think it's important that we clear the air.
35:49And stick together.
35:57I'm so sorry, Audrey.
36:00For everything.
36:08Do you know what's worse than a broken heart?
36:11No.
36:13Two.
36:40Two.
36:41Two.
36:41Two.
36:41Two.
36:42Two.
36:42Two.
36:42Do you know, we are going to make one hell of a team
37:00once we clear out the Deadwood.
37:04I won't be a part of it, Lorraine.
37:07You haven't got the first idea about teachers,
37:09about what makes us tick.
37:10Especially not a teacher like Michael Byrne.
37:13It's his lifeblood, and you're destroying it.
37:17His passion, his vision...
37:19His ego, more like.
37:22And the Lorraine Donegan Institute of Excellence isn't about yours?
37:29So you'll be one in your P45, then?
37:35I just don't get it.
37:36Dear, this school.
37:40We're trying to build lives, not put bums on seats.
37:43Hang on a minute.
37:43Don't save it!
37:45Right, you talk about the business of education,
37:47but you just...
37:48You don't get it!
37:56It seems there's no teaching you either.
37:58Just take it and go.
38:18You'll be leaving with Michael?
38:29Well, you've got one half of that, right?
38:33What?
38:34I am leaving, but...
38:37Michael...
38:38I couldn't care less what he does.
38:42Something happened?
38:43You were right all along.
38:48He's always going to put his beloved job first.
38:55You've split up.
38:59Christine, I'm sorry.
39:02Don't pretend you have a heart, Lorraine.
39:06Everybody knows you haven't.
39:07Is it true that you're kicking us out, Miss?
39:31Guessing we're only a matter of time till he gave up on us.
39:33But it don't matter.
39:34Everyone does.
39:34Not everyone.
40:02We can't go attacking people.
40:03It's the opposite of what we believe.
40:05You are a fake.
40:06You don't have the courage to do things that needs to be done.
40:10What have I done to you?
40:11I have lost control of what I was doing.
40:13You're...
40:13You're vulnerable.
40:15What do you mean?
40:16Mr Clarkson told me about the counsellor.
40:18I'm fine.
40:19Lula, you need help.
40:21I don't care what people think of me, okay?
40:23I'm not crazy.
40:24I don't care what people think of me, okay?
40:25I'm not crazy.
40:26Did Lula put you up to this?
40:35Running riot at the lab?
40:39She did, but we think it's Miss Fairclough telling her to do it.
40:44Mr Clarkson, we need your help.
40:46What's happened?
40:58It was an accident.
40:59I'm fine.
41:00I did it.
41:02It's me.
41:03What?
41:04Don't listen to her.
41:06It's my fault.
41:07I put her up to this crusade.
41:11I don't understand.
41:13The anti-vivisection protests stand to me.
41:17Her campaign was my campaign.
41:20I thought I could control the situation, but everything's gone wrong.
41:24You need help, Lula.
41:26Mr Clarkson will help you.
41:28Wouldn't you, Tom?
41:30I'm not concerned with what we're going to do with you.
41:33I came to this school with a vendetta against Lorraine.
41:37And her investments.
41:38I shouldn't have involved you, Lulan.
41:40Sorry.
41:43Lula, go to the pastoral care office.
41:45Now, please.
41:46Sorry.
41:47Go on.
41:56I think we'd better go to the police, don't you?
41:59Whatever you think.
42:00I deserve it.
42:03Lula is my priority at the moment,
42:05but I'll drive you to the station
42:07and you can explain everything to them.
42:19Am I the bad guy here?
42:20You really want me to answer that?
42:29This place is putting years on me.
42:31I offered you a way to change it.
42:34That's what I love about you, Michael.
42:36You never give up.
42:38No.
42:38Not when it comes to protecting the futures of my pupils.
42:43Our pupils.
42:52Does this mean...
42:53Corbain.
42:57Let's make a deal.
42:57Mum.
43:16Look, I just wanted to say that if you and Mr Burner are getting married, it's cool.
43:24Look, he's good for you.
43:26You're happy and, well, you deserve it.
43:34What's wrong?
43:37Mrs Mulgrew, Mr Burner would like to see you in his office.
43:42Now?
43:42Thank you for joining us, Christine.
43:46Is it OK if I call you Christine?
43:49Yeah.
43:50Well, Miss Donegan's changed her mind.
43:53Waterloo Road is going to be taken over by the local authority.
43:57Now, leaving a school in transition is always difficult.
43:59It requires careful handling and the respect of both the pupils and the parents.
44:03And the staff.
44:05Oh, exactly.
44:05I agree.
44:11So what?
44:13I would like you to be acting head teacher, Christine.
44:24Michael is the head here.
44:26Well, Michael's stepping down.
44:27Anyway, he's too much of a maverick for our LA tastes.
44:30You were Michael's recommendation.
44:32Christian?
44:41Sir, I need some time to think about this.
44:45Yeah, of course.
44:47I'm going to have a cup of tea and...
44:48Actually, no, I don't need time.
44:51You've got the wrong person.
44:54Sorry.
44:54Michael's treated you abominably, but you'd be a fool not to take this chance.
45:07I'm not up to it, Audrey.
45:09Oh, yes, you are.
45:10What's the alternative?
45:12Crying in your cups all day.
45:14You step up to the mark.
45:16You take this biggest challenge of your life on board.
45:19Christine.
45:20Christine.
45:20Christine.
45:20Christine.
45:20Christine.
45:24Do you think that makes it okay to treat me like this?
45:36Throw me a bow and make me a teacher and everything will be all right?
45:39No, I recommended you because I think you'll be a great leader.
45:44You know I'd never compromise the children's education by recommending a second rater.
45:48The job's yours, Christine.
45:57Please.
46:05Mrs. Collins will be able to see you again tomorrow.
46:09Miss Fairclough and I are going to the police station after school.
46:11What Miss Fairclough did was wrong.
46:17She knows that.
46:19And I think you do too.
46:23What's going to happen to her?
46:27She's going to get help.
46:30But you need to concentrate on your future, Lula.
46:35What about the animals?
46:36Well, I'm not saying turn your back on the cause.
46:41But there are other, less extreme ways of getting your point across.
46:50Look, maybe we could organise a class debate.
46:53See if we can't convert the non-believers.
47:06I'm not saying turn your back on the cause.
47:14Esther?
47:14Everyone, I know the bell's gone, but thanks for staying behind.
47:44We've all been through the mill over the past few weeks, and the priority now is to restore
47:51stability so we can all do what we do best, and that is to learn and to teach.
47:59Mr Byrne and I are leaving the school.
48:02But Mr Byrne, you can't leave.
48:06You're the best headteacher ever.
48:08Don't go, sir.
48:09Stay.
48:10Please, sir.
48:11Stay.
48:12Stay.
48:13Stay.
48:14Stay.
48:15Stay.
48:16Stay.
48:17Stay.
48:18Stay.
48:19Stay.
48:20Stay.
48:21Stay.
48:22Stay.
48:23OK.
48:24OK.
48:25Calm it down.
48:26Calm it down.
48:27Take your seats.
48:28Come on.
48:30Take your seats.
48:31No, really.
48:35I'm very flattered.
48:38But the school is being taken over by the local authority.
48:42And I suppose I got too used to running things to let someone else take control.
48:48Now, I'd like to thank Miss Donegan personally.
48:51Without her vision, her energy, her tireless commitment, and let's face it, her money, we
49:01would not have any school at all.
49:04And because County Hall probably won't, and because I want to, I'm going to keep on funding
49:22Mrs Budgin and the school boarding house.
49:25It's with great pleasure I can now tell you that your new acting head will be Mrs Mulgrew.
49:42Did you know?
49:43Effective immediately.
49:44Don't you think what I said?
49:45I'll be leaving you all soon, but before I do, I just wanted to say a few words.
49:52You've all achieved so much this year.
49:56And I know that under Mrs Mulgrew's leadership, you'll go on and achieve so much more.
50:05I'm proud of you.
50:09But Waterloo Road isn't about whoever it is that sits in the head's office.
50:15No.
50:17It's about you guys.
50:19In your classrooms, in the PRU, and in the staff room.
50:27You're the lifeblood of this place.
50:29Pupils and teachers.
50:31You're what makes this place tick.
50:37I'd like you all to remember that.
50:41Mr Bain here thinks that you could be the best school in the county.
50:47But I know that you already are.
50:51Oh, here we are.
50:52Never miss a photo opportunity, Robert.
50:53Right, all get in.
50:57Come on.
50:58Get behind us.
50:59That's it.
51:00Ready?
51:01Right.
51:02Three.
51:03Two.
51:04One.
51:05Smile.
51:06Smile.
51:07.
51:08.
51:09.
51:10.
51:12.
51:13.
51:42.
51:45.
52:01.
52:05.
52:09I'm sorry.
52:29Lauren.
52:31Hey.
52:32Hi.
52:33Did I just do the right thing?
52:36Yeah, you always do.
52:39Except with us, eh?
52:43Ancient history.
52:51I'll see you around. Better go.
52:53Lula!
52:55Yeah, thanks very much, yeah.
52:57Yeah, I can't wait to see you.
53:03Are we okay?
53:05I think we'll all be.
53:16Rickies.
53:17What now?
53:18Babe.
53:19Mum, I don't want to hear it.
53:21I got us on the Julian Noble show.
53:23Called them, told them our story.
53:25They want us on.
53:26They think Julian can help us sort out this mess.
53:28Oh, you've got to be kidding.
53:30What the hell can't you get to see what a car crash and weather you are?
53:33On TV.
53:34When we're in, I'd say.
53:36Life's enough.
53:37We're in.
53:38No way.
53:39Come on.
53:40Good.
53:41Bring it on.
53:52Mum.
53:53Come here.
53:54It was me and you again, Connor.
53:59Me and you and...
54:00This place.
54:01It was me and you again, Connor.
54:02Me and you and...
54:03This place.
54:04It was me and you again, Connor.
54:08Me and you and...
54:09It was me and you again, Connor.
54:14Me and you and...
54:16This place.
54:17Even this place.
54:47Michael.
55:00Were we a success?
55:16Well, we built this place up from nothing.
55:21And these kids have a safe place to learn and grow, so yes.
55:26I'd say we were a success.
55:30What's next for you?
55:32Make lots of money.
55:35You?
55:37Another school.
55:39Well, if you ever decide you want a proper job, call me.
55:43No, no, Lorraine. There's only ever been one job for me.
55:48Running a place like that.
55:55Want a lift?
55:57No, I'm all right.
56:00Bye, Lorraine.
56:02Bye.
56:04Bye.
56:11Bye.
56:13I don't think that you and your mum
56:42Having a scrap on the Julia Noble show
56:44It's going to be the key to our future
56:45If she wants to go on telly slagging me off
56:47Then bring it on
56:48You again
56:50Imogen can finish out the week
56:52And then I'm moving her to Havelock
56:54It might be a boycott I'm afraid
56:56About what?
56:58Me
56:58Our guests are a family from Greenock
57:01Who have stopped communicating
57:02Because as mum Carol says
57:03My daughter's boyfriend has poisoned her mind
57:06What is your problem with me?
57:09I think the school needs strong, clear leadership
57:11And I'm not sure you've got the thick skin
57:13Required for the job
57:14We've tried every treatment possible
57:15And now we have to discuss
57:17Taking him off the ventilator
57:19And Waterloo Road continues next week
