00:24Good morning, Jo.
00:27Good morning, Steph.
00:30How are you today?
00:30Oh, you know me.
00:32Carved DM and all that, but are you OK?
00:36Yeah.
00:37Yeah, absolutely.
00:38I just wanted to check in on my troops, you know.
00:40Well, this is one little soldier you don't have to worry about.
00:43New leaf turned over, nose to the grindstone.
00:47I'm really glad to hear that.
00:48See you later.
00:50See you later.
00:55Well, Carol, I've been nearly as bad as I'm close.
00:57It's a cup of banana.
00:59Cup of banana?
01:01You know what I mean.
01:06Mum's veil earrings in the paper today, so whatever anyone says, just ignore it, OK?
01:11What?
01:12Mum's going to be home by the end of the day.
01:14That's all that matters.
01:16Yeah?
01:17Yeah, by tea time she'll be at where she belongs.
01:19So will we, no more Aunt Julie.
01:22See?
01:22It's more like it.
01:24Hello.
01:25Morning.
01:27Morning.
01:28How are we?
01:29Kim?
01:30Lex.
01:32Senior management intern?
01:33Mm-hm.
01:34Yep.
01:36Uh, Lindsay James.
01:38We've had her answer on this morning.
01:40Apparently she hasn't exactly been a delight at home, so I said we'd keep an eye on her.
01:44OK.
01:44Let's check with the subject teachers, make sure they're not missing anything.
01:47Mm-hm.
01:53Hey.
01:55Morning.
01:58Well, you can't go on like this, Tom.
02:00It just doesn't make any sense.
02:02I mean, why would you make up something like that?
02:05Maybe he's not.
02:06But he has to be.
02:07It was only the ones, so we were really careful.
02:09What I mean is he's got no reason to lie, hasn't he?
02:12He's just going on what he's been told and everything he knows about you has got from his mum.
02:17If anyone's lying.
02:19Anyhow, we'll find out soon enough.
02:21I'm going to go and see her today.
02:23Yeah?
02:23Yeah, I'm free all afternoon.
02:25I'll nip off then.
02:26Well, if you're really dreading it, I could come with you.
02:28Well, because that wouldn't be awkward at all, would it?
02:38The students, they don't get up till lunchtime.
02:41And just because you give them a number to a boy doesn't mean they can arrange you.
02:44I don't.
02:44You think she's not been home?
02:46Well, Bob, my parents think I was at her house.
02:50Her parents think she was at mine.
02:52Are you still drunk?
02:53I don't know.
02:53It's only about we put away.
02:56I'm fine, but slammer queen over there.
02:58Hey, shut up!
03:06Scamble.
03:07Mr. Tyler.
03:13Max?
03:14What?
03:14Where is school?
03:15This isn't school.
03:16This is my office.
03:19Your office?
03:20It's one of the perks of the job.
03:24Come.
03:26Morning.
03:27Hey, Chris.
03:28How's Trace?
03:29Yeah, great.
03:30Hi, Kim.
03:30Hiya.
03:33Oh, Rachel.
03:34Right.
03:36Well, we'll get straight to it.
03:38If we're serious about exam results and improving our league table positions, we need every single
03:43teacher at the top of their game.
03:45A single standard of excellence across the school.
03:48Which has always been our aim.
03:52What we really need is a one-off, across-the-board assessment by all heads of department starting
03:57today.
03:58Can we do that?
04:00Absolutely.
04:01No sound like the present.
04:03Shall we?
04:07Don't you think this might backfire?
04:09Huh?
04:09Some of the staff may feel it, but it shows a lack of trust.
04:12I've been talking to Jo Lipsa.
04:13She's ready to start today.
04:15But what?
04:15You've already set this up?
04:16The results in her department are certainly below what we're after, considering her exemplary
04:21record.
04:22Right.
04:22And the staff are being assessed.
04:24Do they know about it?
04:25No.
04:25We want to see how they really teach from day to day.
04:27And if they're good enough, then why wouldn't they be?
04:29There's no problem, is there?
04:31Morning, everyone.
04:33As you all know, years seven and nine are out on field trips today.
04:36Hey.
04:37So, this gives us the perfect opportunity to start our new staff-wide teacher assessment.
04:41You are all going to be monitored in class by your head of department starting today.
04:46Why?
04:47Well, just install CCTV and be done with it.
04:51Jo Jo will eat your heart out.
04:54Think of it as a clean slate.
04:56New school, new standards, new start.
05:00We'll let you know more as and when.
05:01In the meantime, if you have any questions, Rachel will be happy to answer them.
05:05Departmental heads would like an update at the end of play.
05:08Today?
05:09Yes, Tom, if that's not too much trouble.
05:12That's all I need.
05:13Oh, don't worry about it.
05:14It's just window dressing.
05:16Executive head flexing his muscles.
05:17Look, I'd be fine if they didn't expect you to do any actual teaching.
05:21Are you ready for the off, Steph?
05:23What do you mean?
05:24Well, the assessment Mr Tyler was just talking about.
05:27Yours starts this morning, first period.
05:29But don't worry, just act like I'm not there.
05:32Anyway, I'm very keen to see this new leaf you've turned over.
05:36I am.
05:53I am.
05:55I am.
05:55That went well.
05:57No way.
05:58This is the history of you and it was just the deal.
06:01Oh my God, I'm fine.
06:02It's like, oh.
06:03No, I'm awesome.
06:04I am.
06:05Wasn't that you? I swear you were eyeballing a pirate stick.
06:08Ah! Ah!
06:09Careful!
06:12What's going on?
06:13Nothing.
06:14Nothing?
06:15You stink of alcohol.
06:17Where have you been?
06:18Nowhere.
06:19We're just tired from studying.
06:21Yeah, right.
06:22And I'm Beyoncé.
06:24Look, you two better sort yourselves out.
06:26I am not having you coming into my lesson
06:28letting me down in front of the head of modern languages.
06:31OK?
06:32Go on.
06:38It's a good night, isn't it?
06:39Anyway, I'm going to get off now, so I'll talk till later.
06:42See you in a bit.
06:46All right, mate.
06:48How do you do it?
06:50Get them to notice you like that.
06:53All right?
06:53Have you got someone in mind?
06:55Ah, nah.
06:57Nah, not at all, to be honest, mate.
06:58Just wondering, you know, for future reference.
07:00All right, yeah.
07:01Course.
07:02Future.
07:02So, Colin, what's the secret?
07:04Well, obviously good looks help.
07:07To be honest, mate, yours won't.
07:10Don't worry about it.
07:11But the next thing a girl wants is a guy who makes him laugh.
07:13Works every time I'm telling you.
07:15Look at Johnny Vegas.
07:18See you there, mate.
07:24All right, all the time I'm telling you.
07:31et regarde la marée montée.
07:37Très bien, Denzel.
07:40Mais comme pensons les autres?
07:46Very good, Denzel.
07:48But what do the others think?
07:54Anyone?
07:58OK, erm, what was the passage about, Denzel?
08:06First it was about a dog,
08:08then it was about a boy who falls in love with his mother.
08:15Not quite, but a good try.
08:17Anyone else?
08:20It's about a man describing how he loves the sea.
08:23Thank you, Em.
08:26Le maire, the sea.
08:28La maire, the mother.
08:31Anything else?
08:34OK, erm, read your worksheets
08:37and answer the questions carefully
08:39and take your time.
08:42They're, erm, very slow this morning.
08:46Hmm.
08:48What an uncountable creature is that brother of mine
08:51to send them to the house as an inn?
08:52Ha-ha, I don't wonder at his impudence.
08:57Oh, come on, who's reading The Maid?
09:02What?
09:03Danielle, it's not like you.
09:09Look, if you can't be bothered to read aloud,
09:12at least do us the courtesy
09:13of trying to stay on the right page.
09:17We wouldn't want to waste
09:18our head of department's time, would we?
09:21Right, someone else read it, Triona.
09:24But what is more, madam...
09:25I'm just getting great.
09:26Stop being such a lightweight, yeah?
09:28Asked me if you were barmaid.
09:30He mistook you for the barmaid.
09:31You've got me.
09:33You're a coast in there, Steph.
09:36It's like you dug out some old worksheet
09:38that you've been using since you qualified.
09:41In subsequent lessons, I want to see a sharp...
09:43Subsequent lessons?
09:44What I want to see is a sharper focus,
09:47a clear command of the syllabus
09:49and a little bit of classroom control.
09:52If an exercise isn't working,
09:54then you make it work.
09:55Or you just try something else.
09:57You don't blame the kids.
09:59You're there to teach them stuff.
10:01You have to give them what they need to learn.
10:05OK. Got it.
10:07Look, I'm here to help you.
10:09All right, I am not here to try and catch you out.
10:13Why don't you give me your lesson plans beforehand
10:15and I can help you get them into shape?
10:18Lesson plans?
10:19Won't that ruin the surprise?
10:22Jo?
10:27How's it going?
10:30OK. I'm just getting started, really.
10:32Don't be afraid to come down on her heart.
10:34She's exactly the kind of teacher
10:35who's been holding this place back.
10:37Hang on a minute.
10:38I mean, aren't either one doing the assessment?
10:40Yes, yes, of course.
10:42But you said yourself,
10:43Steph's a poor performer, questionable attitude.
10:45This would be the perfect opportunity.
10:47Look, Max, I would feel much happier
10:48having this conversation
10:50after I've actually assessed her yet.
10:52You're right.
10:54All I'm saying is that if we send out
10:56a clear message to the others,
10:58it should be the perfect place to start.
11:27Girls today, eh, Bolton?
11:29I know, it's shocking.
11:31I don't know why he's bothered with them clubs, man.
11:33They're a rip-off.
11:34Isn't it?
11:34Maybe we like them because guys like you don't go there.
11:38Yeah, you're right.
11:39I don't go to them because they're full of girls like you
11:41getting sleazed up by greasy older guys.
11:46He has got a point, though.
11:48I mean, why do you go to those places
11:50when you've got talent right here?
11:53Oh, leave it out while you're
11:55I'm close enough to puke in it, that is.
11:57However the dog's what you need,
11:59it works every time.
12:01We're in school if you haven't noticed.
12:03Come on.
12:06Right, try it three or four times
12:08and see if the results vary.
12:09Yep, that's enough.
12:12Rob and Paul?
12:16Yes, sir, the retort stand, it keeps slipping.
12:18Yeah, cupboard down there, box on the left.
12:30You might don't get to see
12:32and also it's a key-changing smell.
12:53I don't know how you can be so calm.
12:56I've got all this and I don't even know
12:57when I'm being assessed yet.
12:59Oh, Helen, when you've been doing this job
13:01as long as I have,
13:02it takes more than some assessment
13:03to get the wind up you.
13:06I'm prepared.
13:07At all?
13:08We had to have a lesson plan
13:09for every class at John Foster's.
13:11Normally, you see, I do my work up here.
13:14But if Mr Tyler wants us to write it down, then...
13:17I know he can be a bit severe,
13:19but he is a pretty inspirational leader.
13:22Really?
13:24So is Mussolini.
13:29I'm not sure I've ever seen you plan a lesson before.
13:32And you still haven't, Tom.
13:33I went on the computer
13:35and found some old B.Ed. student coursework.
13:46Right, you lot, get on with your work.
13:47I just need a word with Miss Mason.
13:56What are you doing?
13:58You wanted hair of the dog.
14:05Ethanol.
14:06The chemical name for alcohol.
14:08Your cocktail awaits, madam.
14:10I'm not drinking chemicals.
14:13Dirt, everything is a chemical.
14:15And this is alcohol.
14:16Oh, pfft.
14:20No?
14:22Get it.
14:28Ugh.
14:30Yeah.
14:31Mmm.
14:39Yeah, it's not bad, man.
14:41Not bad at all.
14:44No way.
14:45I'm not drinking that.
14:57Now he's lightweight.
14:59Oh.
15:00Oh.
15:00Mm.
15:01And have you noticed, right,
15:03you see these kids on TV,
15:04these teenagers,
15:05and they look fantastic.
15:06You know, they've got brilliant hair,
15:08lovely clothes,
15:09very glamorous,
15:10but in reality,
15:11they just look like me.
15:12Just, just.
15:13Are you doing stand-up?
15:16Um, no.
15:18No, that's not what I'm doing.
15:19Oh, so it must be rap.
15:21Look, did you want something?
15:22It's nothing to be ashamed of.
15:24I love stand-up.
15:25Come on, let's see us.
15:26Nah, no way.
15:27Come on, I can give you feedback.
15:29No.
15:30Go on, just one tiny little joke.
15:32One teensy, weensy little...
15:33Just get out.
15:35Okay.
15:36You don't need to be like that.
15:40Roz.
15:46Stupid.
15:47Oh!
15:48Aye, aye!
15:48Ha, ha, ha!
15:50Shut up!
15:51And some of this.
15:53Ha, ha, ha.
15:54Ah, what about, what's it?
15:56A hairy dog.
15:57Oh, just drink some of this
15:59so we don't get busted.
16:00I don't want to...
16:02All right, will you on your own?
16:03Aye, is everything okay?
16:06There's only one miss, Ada!
16:08What's going on?
16:09She's in a worse state than she was before.
16:11I don't understand.
16:12Well, she can't go walking around like this.
16:13She'll be excluded in a heartbeat.
16:15We're in your class next.
16:16No, you're not.
16:17There is no way she can come into my class.
16:19I'm being inspected.
16:21I cannot believe that you've been...
16:23Today, of all days.
16:25I was hoping that you two were going to
16:26dazzle Miss Lipset with your brilliance.
16:28Now there's more chance of her
16:29knocking her out with her breath.
16:34All right, quick.
16:35Get her in there.
16:36Get her a glass of water
16:37and she can sleep it off.
16:40And listen,
16:41if anybody finds her,
16:42we never had this conversation, all right?
16:44And you, young lady,
16:45I want you on top form for period four.
16:47Get her in.
16:48All right, go on.
16:48What?
16:48Wait, please.
16:49I'm not going here.
17:00One-fifty, mate.
17:01Here.
17:01There we go.
17:02One-fifty.
17:03One-fifty, by the way.
17:08One-fifty, mate.
17:09One-fifty, please.
17:11Get it while you can,
17:11because it's going fast!
17:12One-fifty, you're part.
17:13I've only got a quid.
17:15Don't worry about it.
17:17Let's keep it between me and you.
17:17One-fifty, mate.
17:19Cheers.
17:19Can I have one, please?
17:20Cute.
17:23One-fifty, one-fifty, one-fifty.
17:24One-fifty, one-fifty.
17:25One-fifty, one-fifty.
17:25One-fifty, one-fifty.
17:26One-fifty, one-fifty.
17:27Is that the stuff you gave Danielle?
17:28Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:29You asked us some and all.
17:30You're selling it?
17:31Gosh!
17:33You can't.
17:34Danielle's hammered out of her mind.
17:35Duh.
17:36That's what alcohol does to people.
17:38It's good stuff, though.
17:40It's not like normal alcohol.
17:42Danielle only swigged it a few times and she's mashed.
17:45Yeah.
17:47If it does act to work, what do you think it's going to do to these?
17:49Can I have one, please?
17:50They know what they're buying.
17:51What they do with it, that's up to them in it.
17:55Until they get busted and they find out that you've nicked it.
17:57You're going to get us all excluded, you div.
18:02You said it was alcohol, man.
18:04It is.
18:05It's just, er, just a bit stronger or something.
18:09What?
18:09You don't know?
18:12Why is this down to me?
18:13You do science, too.
18:15Don't sell any more, okay?
18:17Don't want that Tyler on my back again.
18:19Have a red one, please.
18:21Don't pay for me.
18:24Sorry.
18:25Sorry.
18:29Hiya.
18:30Hey, Bolton.
18:30You've got that bottle I sold you earlier.
18:32Look, I told you I'd get the money.
18:33Do you not believe me?
18:34I just need it back.
18:35I can have your quid.
18:36Do you not think I can handle it?
18:37Yeah, something like that.
18:38Just give it here.
18:39What are you going to do if I do it?
18:40Oh, look, Sam, I ain't got time for this, man.
18:42What are you doing?
18:45Sorry.
18:46Watch it.
18:47What are you...
18:48What's that?
18:54Give me...
18:58Well, now we're going to examine the explanation of the piece.
19:10Um...
19:11Why are we doing this, miss?
19:15You might not find this challenging, Carla, but just because you don't doesn't mean that...
19:18But it's not challenging.
19:20That's the problem.
19:22The grammar's basic, the vocab is a GCSE standard, and the piece itself feels like it's come from a really
19:27old textbook.
19:28Really?
19:29Well, maybe you should swap places with me, Carla.
19:32Why, miss?
19:33You're the teacher.
19:35It's just that this isn't teaching us anything.
19:38Well, best let me be the judge of that, eh?
19:42Alicia.
19:44Alicia.
19:45What?
19:47I think you'll find the word you're looking for is pardon.
19:50Or, more appropriately, pardon.
19:54Is something distracting you, Alicia?
19:56Something that perhaps you'd like to share with us?
20:00No, sorry, miss.
20:02Good.
20:02Then I'd like you to read section B, please.
20:24I don't quite believe this. Bootlegging in a school.
20:27Well, it's a first for me, too.
20:29It's two at Waterloo Road's finest, is it?
20:31Paul Langley and my old friend Bolton Smiley.
20:34I told you not to sell any more, you idiot!
20:36Look!
20:37We're raking it in! What's your problem?
20:39You two!
20:40Here.
20:41Now.
20:44Ethanol.
20:45Selling legitimate alcohol would be bad enough.
20:50Ethanol?
20:51Okay, who have you sold this to?
20:53I dunno.
20:55Not good enough.
20:56I don't know everyone in the school, you know.
20:58Do you have any idea how dangerous this is?
21:01Right, I think that we need to go from class to class before someone drinks this stuff.
21:05I think we need a more direct approach.
21:08Joyce!
21:09You phone the fire service, tell them it's a false alarm.
21:15Out!
21:20Okay, everyone leave your things and leave the building calmly and quietly.
21:25No running.
21:26Hey, Miss Dillon, come on please.
21:33Saved by the bell, eh?
21:35I don't know what was worse.
21:36The outdated plan or the lifeless way you delivered it.
21:40Anyone would think you hadn't written up yourself, sir.
21:42Hmm.
21:43Would they indeed?
21:44Dean?
21:56You've got to get this Stapez on the line, Jen.
21:59Oh-oh!
22:12The liquid's being paddled by the beatin'
22:14Two is poisonous drinking even a small amount could make you seriously ill
22:22Anyone who bought some should come forward now
22:27We need to collect every last drop of this stuff guys, so no one gets hurt
22:34Okay
22:35You leave us no choice
22:37Members of staff will search your pockets
22:41They'll then go inside and search each and every school bag every locker
22:46There's no hiding place
22:53Well done kids you're doing the right thing there
22:56Mr. Budden I'll leave you in charge to take down the names collect all the contraband
23:10Oh
23:11Steph, how's the assessment going?
23:14Should be a walking apart for a seasoned pro like you
23:17Yeah
23:18Yeah, it is. Can you just
23:22Steph
23:31Daniel, come
23:32Danielle
23:39Danielle
23:42Daniel!
23:46Dan!
23:51Daniel!
23:53I just thought you should know, I'm gonna go and see your mum.
23:56Today.
23:58Finally decided to accept the truth then?
24:01Josh, I don't know why your mum's told you what she did, but it just isn't true.
24:05Like, it can't be.
24:07Oh, so mum's a liar now?
24:08Is that what you're saying?
24:09No.
24:12Mistaken, maybe.
24:14So not only do you just walk away and leave us, you then have the nerve to blame us just
24:18to cover your own arse.
24:19Josh.
24:20So leave me alone.
24:21Josh.
24:23Danielle!
24:25Steph!
24:27Steph, what is going on?
24:28Danielle, I think she's drunk some of that stuff.
24:32Why do you say that?
24:40Oh my God, Danielle.
24:43Oh, sweet eagle.
24:50Ethanol?
24:50Where did she get hold of that?
24:52She stole it from school.
24:54What concentration was it?
24:55I don't-
24:56And how much did she have?
24:57I can't imagine it was a lot.
24:59It doesn't have to be with ethanol.
25:00If you could find out how much you'd have, that'd be great.
25:03Can't you just pump her stomach?
25:05No point.
25:06By now she'll have absorbed it all into her cistern.
25:08All we can do is keep an eye on her, monitor the damage and not the best.
25:12I've never heard anything like it in my life.
25:15An illicit alcohol ring here in school.
25:18I can think of worse things.
25:19Like what?
25:20Knives, guns, drugs.
25:22Should be this place's motto.
25:24Alcohol is a drug.
25:26Yeah, but this was ethanol, which they stole.
25:28Well, which I'd let them steal from my classroom.
25:31Don't know why they bothered.
25:33Tastes like sheet polish and gives you a splitting headache.
25:36But they were selling it as alcohol, weren't they?
25:38Cos that's what the kids wanted.
25:40I can't believe you're defending them.
25:43Well, I'm not.
25:44But the kids will be drinking,
25:45whether they're buying it from Paul Langley or from a supermarket
25:48or nicking it from home.
25:49And you think that's all right, do you?
25:51No.
25:51But us just saying they shouldn't, well, that doesn't achieve anything.
25:54Well, it doesn't teach them the dangers or how to drink safely.
25:58It just makes us feel like we've done our bit.
26:00Well, all we're really doing is washing our hands of it.
26:05Shoes.
26:06Okay.
26:07Danielle, can you hear me?
26:08Danielle?
26:09Danielle?
26:10Can you hear me, Danielle?
26:12I don't know.
26:13They're saying she might have hypoglycemia and other horrible things.
26:18No.
26:20Anyway, I need the information of the ethanol bottle.
26:25Yeah.
26:31Well, just let us know as soon as you hear anything.
26:34Oh, thank you, Steph.
26:38Well?
26:40It's not good.
26:42I'm being monitored, but I'm just going to have to sit and wait.
26:46Steph clearly knew something.
26:49Why else charge into the building like a demented bison?
26:52Well, under the circumstances, it's a good job she did.
27:03Oh, my God.
27:05Danielle?
27:06Not now.
27:08Oh, my God.
27:10Danielle?
27:11Not now.
27:13Oh, my God.
27:18Danielle?
27:19Not now.
27:22They're not letting her out.
27:23What?
27:25I'm sorry.
27:26I was sure they'd release her, but she's got to go back to jail.
27:31What about us?
27:32Maybe if we tell them how much we miss her.
27:35You said she'd get out, Lindsay.
27:38This isn't right.
27:39I want to see Mum.
27:40We can't.
27:42Not till after the trial.
27:43What?
27:45She's not allowed to speak to us because we're witnesses, some crap like that.
27:50What if you find her guilty?
27:52Em, that's not going to happen.
27:53How do you know?
27:55They said she'd be home tonight, cooking us dinner by the time we got back from school.
27:58Em, Em.
28:00You've got to stop this, please.
28:02Be brave, yeah?
28:04Mum would hate to see you like this.
28:08That's it.
28:09Good girl.
28:10Look.
28:12You've got to trust me.
28:13Everything's going to be okay.
28:15It's just some stupid judge.
28:17You've got to stay strong, yeah?
28:32Do you have any idea what you've done?
28:36You've risked the wellbeing of other pupils' lives for your own personal gain.
28:42Flouted several school rules.
28:45Lowered the tone of school life and, to top it all, broken the law.
28:51You think this is funny?
28:54Danielle Harker's in hospital because of you.
28:57Look, she didn't have to drink what we offered her.
29:00We didn't force people to buy our stuff.
29:02They were queuing up for it.
29:04Supply and demand, innit?
29:05Give me some respect!
29:07Max.
29:07Just because there's a demand doesn't make it okay for you to supply.
29:10What you two did was wholly unacceptable, yes?
29:13Yes, sir.
29:14Now, obviously, we don't know the full extent of the damage you've done to Danielle,
29:18but rest assured, gentlemen, I intend to make an example of you both.
29:26You got a problem with that?
29:28No, sir.
29:35I saw some dumb incidents driving mad.
29:39Really?
29:54My mum says that your mum must have been really frightened to do what she did.
29:59Thanks.
30:01It's mad, isn't it?
30:03Any time I try to talk about it, Lindsay just tells me, don't worry.
30:09Because my mum would definitely be that out at the trial.
30:12She can't know that.
30:13There's always a risk.
30:14That's what I keep saying.
30:16When it's always, shut up, Em.
30:18Be brave, Em.
30:20My mum says that you should never bottle things up.
30:23Because the longer you do, the more upset it'll cause.
30:26And that'll just make the problem even worse.
30:28It's all right for you.
30:31But who can I talk to?
30:38There are people that understand them.
30:54I think she's perked up a bit.
30:57That's just the rehydration.
30:59Doesn't mean she's out of the woods yet.
31:01Ow.
31:02If you're big enough to get yourself in this state, you're big enough to take a pinprick.
31:06She's been poisoned.
31:07Of course she has.
31:08It's never their fault, is it?
31:12I'm sorry, it's just the amount of time we have to allocate to the likes of her.
31:16Stupid teenagers all messed up.
31:20Looks like she's one of the lucky ones.
31:23Whatever she drank today, on top of last night's binge, it could have caused some real damage.
31:31I'll check on her again in a little while.
31:49Philip.
31:50Look, I'm sorry about earlier, OK?
31:52I shouldn't have kicked off you later.
31:53OK, well, I'm sorry for whatever it was I did that made you so worked up.
31:58No, it wasn't you.
31:59I was just...
31:59It's just, you're the last person I thought would be doing stand-up.
32:03Thanks.
32:04Because you're quiet.
32:05Shy.
32:07Well, that's just it, isn't it?
32:09You know, if I've got to be really awkward and figure out what I'm going to say before
32:13I say it to one person, then it's not much of a bigger step to being in front of a
32:16crowd.
32:17I mean, it's no more difficult, in theory.
32:18You better get a practice in, then.
32:21If you lose it like you did today in front of an audience...
32:23I won't.
32:24At least I hope not.
32:26Well, don't.
32:27Because normal Philip's pretty funny, but mad shouty Philip not so much.
32:32All right, so that's normal Philip, funny.
32:35Mad shouty Philip, not so funny.
32:37Yeah, that's pretty much it.
32:39Well, I guess I'll have to bear that in mind.
32:47I've just proved your point, haven't I?
32:50Mmm.
32:56I'm...
32:57Yeah, because I...
33:01See ya.
33:06That's good.
33:08I don't... I don't remember.
33:11I don't remember much of anything.
33:14Bits of...
33:15Last night.
33:16Bits of school, but...
33:17The main thing is, you're gonna be okay.
33:21Yeah, right.
33:22My dad.
33:24School.
33:24Well, you'll have to deal with that as and when.
33:28For a while it was looking really serious, Danielle.
33:32Why did you do it?
33:34Because it's fun.
33:35Oh.
33:37I've had fun, Danielle.
33:38And believe me, it doesn't end up like this.
33:41You're a bright girl.
33:42You don't need me to tell you that...
33:44That this is not right.
33:47You have got off very lightly this time, but you've got to be more careful.
33:52Being that drunk, anything could have happened to you.
33:56And I'm not saying don't have fun.
33:58God knows I'd be the last person to say that to you.
34:02Anyway.
34:04I'm gonna get back to the school and...
34:06Let them know you're through the worst.
34:09Miss Haydok?
34:10Mm-hmm.
34:13Thanks.
34:14For you.
34:15You know.
34:16I'm just glad.
34:18You're gonna be okay.
34:34So they're gonna keep her in overnight just to make sure, but they don't think there's any permanent damage.
34:38Well, that's something, I suppose, isn't it?
34:40And I've told her that that's no way to behave.
34:42Staying out all night, coming into school half-cut, so you don't need to worry about that.
34:46No, but what we are worried about, Steph, is that you saw her in that state,
34:49and then again after she drank the ethanol, and you did nothing about it.
34:53Alicia told us everything.
34:54That amounts to professional misconduct.
34:57Danielle is a good kid.
34:59I didn't want her getting into trouble for letting her hair down once in a while.
35:03Yes, but that delay could have resulted in her getting seriously ill or worse.
35:07I know.
35:08And if I could turn back the clock and do things differently, then I would.
35:10But the main thing is that she's okay.
35:14I can't believe you're getting your knickers in a twist because I didn't stick to the bloody rules.
35:18Steph, the rules are there to protect the children, and so are the staff.
35:23I was trying to help her.
35:25But you're her teacher.
35:26You're not her mate.
35:28Exactly.
35:30Her mates were making it worse, you could have nipped it in the bud.
35:33Couldn't you?
35:36If you'd reported Danielle when you first saw her, there is no way she would have ended up in hospital.
35:40What she needed from you was protection, Steph.
35:43You know, a mature response.
35:44If you'd have acted like a teacher in the first place, none of this would have happened, would it?
35:51It's my fault.
35:54Anyone else, this wouldn't have happened.
35:57But it was me.
35:59Oh, Steph.
36:01Steph, don't.
36:11There she is.
36:15No.
36:17Her.
36:19One.
36:26No one makes my little sister cry.
36:29I didn't.
36:30I didn't.
36:31It was you.
36:31She was upset about.
36:33If you saw much as look at her again, you'll get worse than this, you understand?
36:38My hand.
36:43Bring your word.
36:46I know that's over, yeah?
36:49Finished.
36:56We can keep that and all.
37:03Em.
37:05Em.
37:06E.
37:07Em.
37:07Em.
37:26Em.
37:27Em.
37:27Em.
37:27Em.
37:28Em.
37:47Are you okay?
37:50Does it matter?
37:52It's not.
37:53No, seriously.
37:55You two were right.
37:58And there's me being all pally with the kids, thinking that that's what it's all about.
38:02And then look what happens when I try to help them.
38:04Look at Danielle.
38:07Maxine.
38:09From where I'm sitting, everything I touch just turns to crap.
38:17I'm sorry, Steph.
38:19I know you've had a difficult day.
38:22And I wish that deep down, I could say that I can see a really good teacher, but it's not
38:28true.
38:30I like you.
38:32I do.
38:33I really like you, but at the moment, I don't think you're up to teaching in my department.
38:38So what, are you going to sack me?
38:40No.
38:42But if you want to stay, I want to see some real commitment.
38:47Proper hard work.
38:48Yeah?
38:51Yeah?
38:54There you go, then.
38:57What's this?
38:59After today's events, we all think that you'd benefit from some retraining.
39:04What, are you sending me back to college?
39:06Mm-hmm.
39:07Part-time.
39:08Think of it as a refresher course.
39:12Do I have to?
39:14Yeah.
39:20Boys, definite exclusion.
39:23Temporary exclusion.
39:25Alicia and Danielle.
39:27Should be dealt with through pastoral care.
39:34Look, whatever happened today, Max, you can't just punish alcohol out of these kids' lives, can you?
39:40Let's use Danielle as an example.
39:42You saw how shaken up Alicia was.
39:45This is a perfect opportunity to make an issue of the problem.
39:49Fine.
39:50Kim's a safe pair of hands.
39:52Stuff Haydock, on the other hand, I'd happily suck in a heartbeat.
39:56Heaven knows we've got enough cause, too.
39:59And I would rather we didn't.
40:00Joe Lipset's already been bending my ear.
40:03She's happy to take on responsibility for Steph, but on a last-chance basis.
40:08Quite a roll call, then.
40:10Waterloo Road's very own dirty dozen.
40:12Oh.
40:15What was it you were saying this morning, Max?
40:17Your brave speech in the staff room.
40:19Clean slate?
40:19New school, new standards?
40:21Did you actually mean any of that?
40:22Of course I did.
40:24Then maybe you ought to implement it, starting with yourself.
40:26Because while you insist on seeing the old Waterloo Road as the source of every problem that we have here,
40:31this place does not stand a chance.
40:33Sorry, but you really need to see this.
40:41Okay, there you go.
40:45There she is.
40:48Who did this?
40:50She won't say to...
40:55I don't believe this is happening.
40:57Well, it seems like we're not alone in seeing a divide between the skulls.
41:03Carla, whoever did this to you will be very, very sorry.
41:09Shall we go and get you cleaned up?
41:11Chris, can you?
41:12Yeah.
41:20I've got to say, I will be glad to get out of this place this evening.
41:25Yeah, um, I'm not going to be able to make it tonight.
41:29Oh.
41:30But it's just something's come up.
41:32A friend in need, that kind of thing.
41:35Well, it's a shame.
41:38But maybe another time?
41:41Yes.
41:42Sure.
41:43Sure.
41:45Sure.
41:59The character of Teresa actually changes the rest.
42:04It's the rest of the play.
42:05It is such an important point.
42:13Just...
42:14Excuse me a minute.
42:19Oh, my God.
42:22Tom Clarkson.
42:26It just seems that he's incapable of accepting anything that he doesn't fully agree with.
42:31I don't know if that's fair.
42:33Look, he's so divisive.
42:36Everything's us and them with him.
42:37It's...
42:37It's my way, it's my school, it's my teachers, you know.
42:44And he humiliated me in front of the staff for that assessment thing.
42:49He cuts me out of the loop at every single chance he gets.
42:54But do you not think that you would have always found it difficult, anyone coming in as the executive head?
43:01Sure, yeah, yeah.
43:03Yeah, there might be an element of that.
43:07But, you know, this feels like a coup.
43:11It feels...
43:13It feels like he's trying to take the school from me.
43:17Anyway, where would we be without these things to try us?
43:25All this stuff he's coming out with, I mean, it's like he's obsessed.
43:28I don't know where he's getting it from.
43:30I mean, he said you told him, but why would you...
43:31I did.
43:33But why?
43:34Because it's true, Tom.
43:37You're his father.
43:42What?
43:44Biologically.
43:47But I... I can't be.
43:50We took precautions.
44:00How can you be sure?
44:02You can't have had tests done.
44:03Because there was nobody else it could have been.
44:06I don't make a habit of it, you know.
44:12Can you not see it?
44:14His eyes.
44:18I don't believe you.
44:19Why didn't you tell me?
44:21You were a student.
44:22It was a one-night stand.
44:25Look, I know...
44:26I know I should have said something.
44:27I can see that now, but...
44:29We were never going to have a life together.
44:31Be realistic.
44:33Oh, why did you lie to Josh, then?
44:35I didn't.
44:36You told him that I abandoned him.
44:39That I walked away.
44:40No, I told him that you were too young and you couldn't handle it.
44:43I was going to tell him the truth when he was old enough, but he just seemed to accept it.
44:48What?
44:48That I'm some heartless git that left him in the lurch?
44:53You should have told us both the truth when he came to the school.
44:55How did I know you weren't there?
44:57You lied to him and you lied to me.
44:59I didn't mean any harm.
45:02It was just an accident.
45:04What?
45:04That you let carry on for 14 years?
45:08Well, all this time I've had a son and not known about it.
45:13I can't handle this.
45:23Drive safely.
45:24Take care.
45:25See you later.
45:30Miss Campbell.
45:35Mr. Tyler.
45:37Often lurk about in pub car parks, do you?
45:39Oh, I just happened to be passing.
45:41That was Rachel.
45:42You didn't tell her about it.
45:44Right, of course not.
45:46Anyway, what am I going to say?
45:48It's all so furtive.
45:50Even I don't know what's going on.
45:52I'm just being careful.
45:54Maintaining that balance between personal and professional.
45:56Ah, right.
45:57Is that what it is, is it?
45:58Of course I'm surprised a woman with your obvious talents struggling with something as simple as that.
46:02My obvious talents?
46:04Yeah, I can explain them to you if required.
46:07Over a bottle of wine.
46:09I thought you'd have seen enough booze for one day.
46:12That's school.
46:15Does this look like school to you?
46:20No, Mr. Tyler, it does not.
46:24Well then.
46:52Tom, look, I just wanted to say sorry for the way this is happening.
46:54Oh, well that makes everything okay then, doesn't it?
46:57Tom, I know this is horrible for you.
47:01But you've got to believe I never meant to hurt you.
47:04In any way.
47:06But please don't hurt Josh.
47:08You know, whatever's happened, however badly I've got this wrong, it doesn't change the fact that he's your son.
47:14You can't just walk away.
47:17Well, that's rich.
47:19First I don't deserve to know, and now you're telling me I can't walk away.
47:23Make up your mind.
47:25Josh came looking for you.
47:27He obviously feels he needs something that I can't give him.
47:30Until ten minutes ago, Josh was just another kid that I taught.
47:34One among hundreds.
47:35It means nothing to me.
47:37You can't rewrite the last 14 years.
47:39Don't say that.
47:41Look, I have nothing against the kid.
47:43But there's nothing there.
47:45Because of you.
47:46You chose to deny him a father.
47:48Not him.
47:49Not me.
47:49You.
47:51Tom.
47:53Josh is completely blameless in this.
47:55Look and know you're angry.
47:57You've got every right to be, but please, I am begging you.
48:00Please, you'll stop.
