00:19Do you reckon Mum will be allowed to come home straight away?
00:22In Miss Mason's car?
00:26I don't know.
00:28I don't think that's really how it works then.
00:33When she comes home, we'll start again, just the three of us.
00:39No vows, no secrets.
00:44Fingers crossed.
00:46Morning girls.
00:47Lindsay, you're all set.
00:49We don't have to leave for a while but I'll meet you back down here, okay?
00:52Morning girls.
00:54Morning girls.
00:55Morning girls.
01:01Morning girls.
01:18What are you doing?
01:20I moved out.
01:23When do you come?
01:24In a hurry.
01:25A conversation about the details of the divorce, moving out the whole process, didn't go down
01:30too well.
01:32What and you slept in there?
01:34No, I finished arguing about 3.30.
01:38My options are limited.
01:39Lindsay, are you going to another funeral?
01:42Leave it, Michaela.
01:44What's your problem?
01:45She's going to court, isn't she?
01:47Is that today?
01:48It's going to be better than telly.
01:49Do you reckon we can watch?
01:50You are joking.
01:51Double English.
01:52I'll watch Lindsay's mum get banged up.
01:54See ya.
01:54Can't you just leave her alone?
01:56Er, no.
01:57It's going to be great.
02:02Hey, did you hear about Joel?
02:05I know that outstanding teacher award.
02:07It's amazing, isn't it?
02:08I suppose Max will have something to say.
02:10Yeah, he's not in yet but I assume he'll be jumping at the chance to make a speech.
02:14Er, can you keep a little eye on Emily today?
02:17Yeah, of course.
02:18Well, if there are any problems, just give me a call.
02:22Okay.
02:23Good luck.
02:35Hey.
02:36Lindsay.
02:38Hey.
02:39How are you feeling?
02:40Yes.
02:41Alright.
02:43Nervous.
02:44Yeah.
02:45Go get going.
03:02Actually, just give it a minute and then come in after me, yeah?
03:05Are you ashamed of me?
03:06No, it's...
03:07You know what everyone's like, especially Steph.
03:09It'll be Gossip Gold if we arrived together.
03:11Just give it a minute.
03:12Come on.
03:24Trouble getting out of bed this morning?
03:27No, it's not like that.
03:29Of course it isn't.
03:33Morning.
03:34Morning everyone.
03:34I'd like to announce and start the day by congratulating Jo Lipset.
03:40As some of you may know already, she's been nominated for the party for the party.
03:42for an outstanding teacher award.
03:46Needless to say, I'm delighted, but I'm not surprised.
03:48He's left his wife.
03:50Is that what he's saying?
03:51Gifted teacher, unerringly focused on progress and the achievements...
03:58He turned up on my doorstep with all of his stuff in the back of the car.
04:02Taking the MFL department from strength...
04:04Men like Max, they know what they want, they get it, and they move on.
04:08Be careful, Kim.
04:12Joe, you are the bastion of good-quality teaching here at the new Waterloo Road.
04:18We're all very proud of you.
04:20Well done.
04:25Well, steady, eh? You'll be showing the rest of us up.
04:31Well done, Joe. That's there to William.
04:34That's so boring you, Steph.
04:36Kim and I had a lot to catch up on.
04:39Yes.
04:40I hope you're not sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong.
04:43Well, you know...
04:45You know us girls.
04:46We tell each other everything.
04:48Listen to each other, keep an eye on each other, that sort of thing.
04:52Kim's a good friend of mine, so obviously I'm going to look out for her.
04:55That's just the way I am.
04:56And you'll get used to it if you're serious about her.
04:59You make sure you look after her, eh?
05:02Otherwise I shall have to hunt you down like an animal.
05:07Yes.
05:20Hi, Miss Mason.
05:22Hi, Lindsay.
05:23All ready?
05:24Yeah, yeah, I think so.
05:25OK, you're nice and early.
05:25We'll be starting soon.
05:27OK, your mum will go in first.
05:29And when we're ready for you, this gentleman here,
05:31he'll come and get you.
05:33You can go in too.
05:34Turn left and sit in the public gallery.
05:35OK.
05:36Public gallery?
05:39How many people will we be watching?
05:40Come on, just put it out of your mind, Lindsay.
05:42Just answer as many questions as you can, as best you can,
05:45and try to ignore everybody else.
05:52Jo, I'm made up for you.
05:54An award-winning teacher on our team.
05:57Well, thanks, but I haven't won anything, actually.
06:00Yet.
06:01Anyway, this calls for celebration.
06:02Let me be responsible for some fizz at Sula Glass.
06:06So, congratulations.
06:08Thank you, Steph.
06:11This is just not my kind of thing, but thank you anyway.
06:15For?
06:16Well, it's a kind gesture, but you could warn me, Max.
06:20Well, who said it was me who nominated you?
06:22That might be seen as improper.
06:24Oh.
06:24Well, thank you to whoever it was then.
06:28Saw Steph making a fuss.
06:30Oscar-winning performance, then.
06:32I didn't think she was putting on a show.
06:34Don't let her get you.
06:35I know having a member of her department heralded like this
06:38only serves to highlight her own failings.
06:44Hey, Chris.
06:45Just the man.
06:46The man in charge.
06:47You know, today strikes me as a good day to get a few things sorted.
06:50Such as?
06:50Well, I'd like to pull Steph Haydock in for a chat, for one.
06:54A chat?
06:55About what?
06:55I'm a bit concerned about her attitude of late.
06:58I'd just like to check in on her.
07:00I think we should wait for Rachel.
07:02Well, I'd like to do it today.
07:04I don't think we need to bother Rachel,
07:06unless you have a problem with me
07:08talking to my own members of staff now.
07:11No.
07:12Good.
07:13Good.
07:21Michaela!
07:26What are you doing here?
07:27Well, if you're going in,
07:28she'll need to see a friendly face as well.
07:31Right, well, ditch the school stuff
07:32because I don't want to get chucked out because of you.
07:34Come on.
07:43Come on, let's not do this.
07:45What?
07:45You've got to be joking.
07:46I'm not.
07:47This isn't right.
07:48Sick.
07:49Sick is awesome.
07:51Can we go in now?
07:55There she is.
07:59Who's that?
08:01It's my aunt.
08:04My uncles.
08:05I don't want them here.
08:07They hate Mum and they hate me.
08:08Well, they can't hurt you, Lindsay, you know.
08:11Just be strong.
08:12Ignore them.
08:13Pretend they're not there.
08:15He showed deep wounds to the torso,
08:17starting in the front, mid-abdomen,
08:20and running around the left side of his torso to the back.
08:24He died from a combination of major organ failure and blood loss.
08:30She must have gone crazy.
08:31What injuries suggest to you, if anything,
08:33about the state of mind or the intentions of the person who inflicted them?
08:36The pattern of the wound suggests Mr. James was turning away
08:40to defend himself or escape.
08:42There were lacerations to the hands, too.
08:45Told you this would be better than the telly.
08:49How are you feeling, Emily?
08:52What?
08:53Are you OK?
08:55She's stressed out because of my mum and that.
08:58It's a trial.
08:59Lindsay's at the court with Miss Mason
09:01to decide whether to let her out or bang her up.
09:03Yes, I know, Denzel.
09:07Oh, is that for me?
09:09I'll be fine soon.
09:12We're only coming home.
09:17Lindsay came upstairs.
09:20She was in a panic.
09:22She said she had something to tell me.
09:25She was so terrified.
09:29I'd never seen her like that before.
09:34At first, I didn't believe it.
09:38What did she say?
09:40She told me what Tony had been doing to her
09:44when I wasn't around.
09:47Mrs. James, I know this is hard,
09:49but can you clarify?
09:51Doing what?
09:54He was abusing her.
10:01A summons.
10:03Stephanie, what have you done?
10:05Has anyone got one?
10:07Maybe you've won one of those
10:09outstanding teacher awards as well.
10:12Hilarious, Grantley.
10:13It says to discuss your performance.
10:16Ouch.
10:17But why is he picking on me?
10:18I don't understand why you're always so paranoid.
10:21Give it time.
10:25Em had just come down.
10:27And I didn't want her to know about any of it.
10:30So I went and I got the kids out.
10:32You sent them to school?
10:34It was the first day of term.
10:38Lindsay didn't want to go.
10:40I made her.
10:42And what happened next?
10:45I snapped.
10:48There was a knife on the side.
10:52I picked it up and
10:56I must have stabbed him.
10:57I don't remember, really.
11:00I just wanted him to stop.
11:06Lindsay James, please.
11:10Now.
11:12Now, now, what is it now?
11:13Yes, and you're going to be fine, OK?
11:15I'm going to be in the gallery.
11:16I'll be rooting for you, OK?
11:17You will be all right.
11:19And I'll take your stuff.
11:21Come on, Lindsay.
11:35You wanted to see me?
11:38Come in.
11:41Come in.
11:42Come in.
11:43Come in.
11:44Come in.
11:45Come in.
11:45Come in.
11:45Come in.
11:47Come in.
11:48Is there something wrong?
11:53Well, yes.
11:56The thing is, Steph, we've got a bit of a situation here.
12:01And you know, Joe has been nominated for this teaching award.
12:05And that's good, isn't it?
12:07Yes.
12:08I'm glad you're happy for your colleague.
12:09However, Joe's nomination has shone a spotlight on the modern foreign languages department and illuminated certain unacceptable weak links.
12:32Please take your Bible in your right hand and read the words on the card out loud to the room.
12:39I swear by all words of God that the evidence I shall give shall be the truth, the whole truth,
12:45and the thing but the truth.
12:49He said that I was this close to being out on me Todd.
12:53Clearly, that outstanding teacher business has gone to her head.
12:57So, what now?
12:59I thought maybe you could have a word.
13:00What, with Joe?
13:01With Max.
13:02Well, he listens to you and Joe listens to him.
13:06Yeah, and?
13:07Well, surely he can pull rank.
13:10Hang on, wasn't it you that was saying to me this morning that I should be keeping away from him?
13:13I wouldn't ask you, Kim, if I really didn't need the favour.
13:19Yeah, OK.
13:20I'll talk to him.
13:22He's certainly pulling out all the stops.
13:25Hmm.
13:27No, I really want it to work.
13:28It's just, you know, after everything that's happened, I just need him to take it slowly.
13:34Max doesn't do slow, Kim.
13:36He's persistent.
13:37I just don't want you to end up on a daytime talk show.
13:40I slept with my married boss.
13:45You have somewhere to be, Steph.
13:47I'm, um...
13:48I'm still on my free, actually.
13:51That's what cares for the pupils, not the staff.
13:56When did he start behaving in a sexual way with you?
14:06When I was about M's age, about 11.
14:08Why didn't you tell your mum from the start?
14:11Because he said I'd be destroying the family.
14:14Didn't want my mum to get hurt.
14:15Did you ever see, with your own eyes, your dad hitting your mum?
14:19Yeah.
14:21Yeah, loads of times.
14:24Um, once I came downstairs, uh, he didn't used to shout.
14:29He was just kind of like hitting at her, you know, like really mean.
14:33A bit quiet, so he didn't wake me and Em up.
14:36I saw him.
14:38He was kicking her.
14:39She was lying on the floor, and he was kicking her in the back.
14:42So, why did you choose this particular morning to tell her?
14:46I had to tell her.
14:47You had to tell her.
14:49Why?
14:49Had he threatened you?
14:54Miss James, is there anything you're not telling this court?
15:02I just couldn't take any more.
15:05Steph seems to think that you're not exactly her biggest fan, and, you know, she's not known
15:11for her discretion and stuff, so...
15:12And I'm so petty, I'd let it cloud my professional judgement.
15:17Is that what she said?
15:18Oh, come on.
15:19You can't...
15:20You can't blame her for feeling a little bit paranoid at the moment, can you?
15:24Well, I can blame her for using you to get to me.
15:28I know she's a good friend of yours, but she's a rotten teacher.
15:33She's certainly not the kind of person you should be listening to, Kim.
15:36You've got to start trusting me.
15:39You do trust me, don't you?
15:44I'll tell you what.
15:46I'll have a word with Jo and try and dissuade her.
15:49Okay?
15:51No promises.
15:54And that's flowers, by the way.
15:56Someone must be head over heels.
16:05I heard you had a meeting with Max earlier.
16:07Yeah, yeah, I did, and I think I got the message loud and clear.
16:11How's your special day going?
16:13Yeah, good, thanks.
16:15I mean, I've been so busy, though, I've hardly had time to think about it.
16:17I mean, everyone's been lovely, though.
16:19I mean, the press have been on to me and everything.
16:20Really?
16:21Well, you know what they say, it's windy at the top.
16:31On the morning of your father's death, what time did you leave the house?
16:34Like I said, earlier than usual.
16:38My mum made me go to school early after I told her everything.
16:40She wanted me and him out of the way.
16:42Now that's understanding.
16:44Yeah.
16:48So, you got up, got dressed, had a big row with your father.
16:52You went and told your mum about all these years of abuse.
16:55Then your mother came down, got breakfast, got U&M, packed off and out to school,
16:59all in time to have a massive argument with your father and eventually kill him.
17:03And this all happened in...
17:0815 minutes?
17:12I don't know.
17:13You told us you got up at 7.30am.
17:16Yeah.
17:16The estimated time of death is 7.45am.
17:21You can see my confusion.
17:27So, what did you do between 7.45 and 9am?
17:32I just went to school early.
17:33Ah, not according to the school.
17:36No, you didn't get there until after registration.
17:40Look, haven't I answered enough questions yet?
17:42We have two witnesses who have testified to seeing you leave the house at about 8.20am.
17:47That's a good half hour after your father's death.
17:49Can you explain that?
17:50I'm not answering any more questions.
17:51Lindsay, were you there?
17:53No, no, I wasn't.
17:55I would suggest that you were there before, during and after your father was killed.
17:59No.
17:59Yes.
18:00Yeah, you were there.
18:00And in the half hour that follows, your mother got you to cook up some story about a violent,
18:05abusive father.
18:07She got you to lie in order to win the sympathy of this jury.
18:11Is that not the case?
18:12Will you leave her alone?
18:14It wasn't like that.
18:15It wasn't.
18:15She didn't tell me to say anything.
18:23What was it like at school that morning, Miss James?
18:26Knowing that you had to keep that awful secret.
18:29I wasn't keeping a secret.
18:31It must have been very tiring, very stressful.
18:34Sitting there, knowing that your father was lying on the kitchen floor, dead.
18:38No, I didn't.
18:39I didn't know anything.
18:40Will you just leave me alone?
18:41Leave me alone!
18:42Stop it, please.
18:43Just stop it.
18:44I don't want to say anything more.
18:45I don't want to say anything more.
18:54You wanted to see me?
18:55Hey.
18:56Come in.
18:56Take a seat.
19:01So, what's up?
19:05Listen, Jo.
19:07I know it's never nice to hear this sort of thing, but I had Steph in here earlier, and
19:12she wasn't exactly acting like your biggest fan.
19:17What did she say?
19:18Well, can't go into details, but you shouldn't be surprised.
19:22She's not exactly a team player, is she?
19:24No, but we've been through a lot together.
19:27I mean, I thought we were over any trouble.
19:29She's jealous.
19:30She's jealous that you're her boss, that you're younger than her, you're more capable than
19:35her.
19:36And this award nomination, I mean, it's just about pushed her over the edge.
19:41To be honest, I think we might be running out of options with her.
19:46She has the worst record of any member of staff I've ever had.
19:50But she's showing genuine improvement.
19:53All of these courses she's been on, she's really, really trying, Max.
19:56Yeah, and you've done more than your fair share to keep her in this position.
20:00But today, today she's showing her true colours.
20:03Well, let me talk to her.
20:04If you talk to her, she'll be on her best behaviour for the next two days.
20:09You'll tell me you're making progress, and then all of a sudden we'll be back to square
20:13one.
20:13Well, it sounds like you're suggesting that we get rid of her.
20:22Let's let her cool off for a bit.
20:25Get over the sour grapes of this nomination.
20:27It's your day, Joe.
20:29You should be enjoying it.
20:31OK?
20:32So I'll go back and have a little chat with her.
20:38Right.
20:42Giving up for the boxing bar, Wadley Rhodes Poetry Pugilist, the one, the only, Bolton Smiley.
20:48Yeah, man, go on, Bolton, son.
20:53Come on, mate.
20:54We proper want to hear it, don't we?
20:55Yeah.
20:56You're not hearing anything until it's ready.
20:58I'm a perfectionist, innit?
21:00Anyway, Ryan's the star of the show.
21:02Do some budging or something?
21:04Yeah.
21:07108 years in this bubbling cesspit of a learning institute, and do I get any thanks from a
21:12little miscreants?
21:13No.
21:14That's so him.
21:15Do some hey, Doc.
21:16Hey, Doc.
21:16Hey, Doc.
21:18Paul Langley, translate for me, please, into French.
21:21Does my bum look big in this?
21:24Miss Hey, Doc, what's the French word for bum?
21:26Bum.
21:27Hmm.
21:28Hmm.
21:28I don't know if I know it.
21:30Phil, mate.
21:30Ah, bum.
21:31Let me think for a second.
21:32Ah, boom.
21:33Le boom.
21:34Huh?
21:38Not funny?
21:40Very funny.
21:44Very funny, right?
21:45A word?
22:02Oh, I probably shouldn't.
22:07No, I think you should.
22:08Take a seat.
22:10I imagine Miss Hey Doc's a rich source of material.
22:15I suppose so.
22:16Mm-hmm.
22:18I mean, uh, not always firing on all cylinders.
22:23Yeah?
22:25Ah.
22:27Would you like to do me a favor?
22:32Well, between you and me, it would be very useful if I could know a bit more about when Miss
22:38Haylock's performing well and when she's performing not so well, particularly the last bit.
22:44Right.
22:45It's my job to know what's going on, but I can't be in every lesson all the time, can I?
22:50No.
22:53So, it would help me if you could give me a few examples of, I don't know, times when Miss
22:59Haylock's grasp on discipline has not been all it should be, or, say, uh, when her grasp of the
23:06French language is a bit shaky.
23:07I don't know about this.
23:09Which bit don't you know?
23:10Well, I mean, it just doesn't seem right.
23:13Ryan, I'm your executive head.
23:15If I say it's right, it's right.
23:17Well, you know, I mean, there's nothing in particular.
23:20You know, Miss Haylock's all right.
23:21I was just having a laugh before.
23:22Does your entire family lack ambition?
23:25Sorry?
23:26Sorry.
23:28Oh, I see.
23:29You think I'm being unreasonable.
23:31I didn't say that.
23:32Then why will you not do what I'm telling you?
23:35I just can't, OK?
23:37Where do you think you're going?
23:38I haven't finished with you yet.
23:47That was clumsy, wasn't it?
23:51Well, you'd best stay on my good side.
23:54For Miss Mason's sake.
23:57You'd best serve her by buckling down.
24:02I'll do it.
24:04Good lad, Ryan.
24:06Good lad.
24:09You're all the head teacher, aren't you?
24:11Want to tell me exactly what you teach people at that school?
24:14Um, I'm sorry.
24:15I don't understand what you mean.
24:16Why is Lindsay telling all those lies?
24:18Can you imagine how much it hurts our family?
24:21What about me mum?
24:23Listening to her granddaughter spouting that kind of filth.
24:26No, I do appreciate it.
24:27It can't be pleasant hearing that about your brother.
24:30But I just think right now Lindsay needs, she needs the support of all her family, doesn't she?
24:34As far as I'm concerned, she's no niece of mine.
24:36OK, there's no point having this conversation.
24:38I am sorry.
24:39She's a liar.
24:43Where is she?
24:44She's in a private room.
24:45She's fine.
24:46Don't give her time to calm down.
24:47Can I go and see her?
24:48Of course, she's down the corridor.
24:50Third on the left.
24:52Miss?
24:54Kayla, I don't know what you two are thinking coming here today.
24:57Look, I didn't know.
24:59I thought it was going to be a laugh.
25:01Miss, I feel so awful.
25:04It's a really awful situation.
25:06But you two need to get back to school now, OK?
25:08Right now.
25:09And look, remember, what was said in there today was not meant to be shared with you,
25:14so if either of you ever mention a word of what you heard...
25:18No way, Miss.
25:18No, we won't.
25:21Come on.
25:22Yeah?
25:22Get back to school.
25:26OK.
25:30And then Miss Campbell's here, she's like,
25:32Ooh, Mr. Tyler, let me pay you, let me pay you with so many lines that will just capture your
25:37essence.
25:37Yeah, and then he's like,
25:39Miss Campbell, it will be my pleasure.
25:41Close on, I'll close.
25:44Lauren?
25:45Sambuca Kelly!
25:47Funny, is it, to mock your teachers?
25:49No, sir.
25:50Is it funny to gossip and lie about the people who bend over backwards to lift you and the rest
25:54of your feral family out of the gutter?
25:56Well, I wasn't gossiping.
25:57Play games with me again, Sambuca, and your whole family will suffer, you vermin.
26:15Well, I'll put my mum on my wall on it.
26:19You shouldn't even think about that.
26:21I know, that's why I'm here, isn't it?
26:22I'm here to help prove what happened.
26:30So, I'm going to say, if I go back, mum's been done for murder, eh?
26:36Because of me.
26:38I promised her, I promised her.
26:40It wouldn't be because of you, Lindsay.
26:43None of this is your fault.
26:46What your dad did to you was horrific.
26:48And you're not responsible for any of it.
26:51Aren't I?
26:53No.
26:54And you don't owe your mum or Emily anything at all, other than to tell the truth.
27:07That's just it, miss.
27:11I haven't told the truth.
27:13Come on.
27:15Hiya.
27:16Emily's joining me today.
27:18Thought I'd give up behind-the-scenes talk.
27:20I'm playing Big Brother while Lindsay's not here.
27:22Oh, a role that suits you so well, Chris.
27:24Well, if you need me to take over, I can do.
27:26I don't know, I'm fine, thanks.
27:27I'm enjoying it.
27:30Erm, shall we have a little digestive?
27:33Yeah.
27:34Hey, not on my account, I'm just leaving.
27:37Come on over then, let's see what you've done.
27:41Can I have a word, please?
27:44Yes.
27:45You're the boss.
27:48Look, I'm getting the impression that things have been said, things that maybe aren't...
27:51It's funny, that, because I'm getting exactly the same impression.
27:55Right, well, I think we should have it out then.
27:57Oh, I get it.
27:59Let's engineer a big blow-up so that Steph looks unreasonable.
28:03Nah, I think we should just keep our distance, don't you?
28:07Do you know what?
28:08I don't like being made to feel like I'm the bad guy.
28:11I'm sure you don't, what with you being such an outstanding teacher and everything.
28:16I didn't have you down as a jealous type.
28:18Can you two just pipe down a bit?
28:20And I didn't have you down as a backstabbing Judas.
28:24Oh.
28:25Well, I suppose it takes one to know one, doesn't it, Stephanie?
28:27I think it just makes you realise that you never really know a person, do you, Joe?
28:32Steph.
28:33Steph.
28:37What's going on?
28:38Steph!
28:39I thought I understood where she was coming from, but she's been behaving like a complete
28:42spoiled brat ever since this damn nomination was announced.
28:46And do you know what else, Chris?
28:47Max is gunning for her.
28:49If she carries on like this, she ain't even going to make it through the day.
28:53Where does that snotty cow get off?
28:56Well, you didn't exactly do yourself any favours back there, did you?
29:00Oh, I see.
29:01Well, I've not noticed you doing me any favours either.
29:03Hold on a minute.
29:03I did my best, OK?
29:05Doesn't exactly make me look great trying to pull strings with the boss, does it?
29:08Oh, I'm so sorry to embarrass you in front of your boyfriend.
29:11At least I know where I stand.
29:13Well, maybe if you'd shown some restraint in the first place, you wouldn't be in this mess.
29:17God, you're even starting to sound like him now.
29:23There's something that you need to know about that morning.
29:29OK.
29:33It didn't happen the way they're saying.
29:39Right.
29:41So how did it happen?
29:52Lindsay, were you there?
29:54Were you there?
29:55Did you see it?
29:58Yeah.
30:01Yeah, I was right there.
30:03You saw your mum do it.
30:08I'm sorry, I don't understand.
30:10What is it you're trying to tell me?
30:17My mum's not a murderer.
30:21I know she isn't.
30:22I know that.
30:24She just did what anyone might have done.
30:26No, she...
30:26She didn't do...
30:29Anything.
30:32OK.
30:33OK.
30:36My mum didn't do anything I did.
30:43I killed him.
30:50Tell him what Mr Tyler said.
30:52What he called you.
30:53Call me vermin.
30:55Are you sure?
30:57What do you mean I'm not sure?
30:58He says you're vermin, you are.
31:00Can you believe that, man?
31:02Well, vermin's like rats, isn't it?
31:04Well, what had you done to make him call you that?
31:06That doesn't matter what you did, Tom.
31:08He's not allowed to call her things like that.
31:10That's an insult to all of us, that is.
31:12Are you absolutely sure?
31:14Tom, Sam wouldn't make something like this up.
31:16Would you mind to go and speak to that Mr Tyler?
31:18Call him a few names of my own?
31:20Are you sure that's a good idea?
31:21Why?
31:21You're going to do something about it?
31:23Me?
31:24Why should I speak to him?
31:25Well, you're head of department.
31:26You're more on his level.
31:28I might be better coming from a colleague.
31:30Better for you.
31:31Please?
31:34Go on then.
31:36I'll see what I can do.
31:41If you're going back to school, you're going on your own.
31:44I can't face it.
31:46I'm going back in.
31:49If Mason catches you, you're dead.
31:51I don't care.
31:53We can't just leave Lindsay now.
31:56Well, she told Rose.
31:59Rose Kelly.
32:01The dinner lady?
32:03Yeah.
32:05Her mum.
32:07She said you called her vermin.
32:09Sorry, I'm confused.
32:10You want me to speak to Rose?
32:12No.
32:14So, why are you here?
32:17Just as a favour.
32:19It's great that you've got time for favours, what with your new position and everything.
32:23How's that going, by the way?
32:24It's going all right, I think.
32:26You think?
32:27Well, yeah, it's going well.
32:30The job's what you make of it, Tom.
32:33You've got Jo lips at what she's managed to achieve this week.
32:36Can't imagine she's found the time or the inclination to run around after ladies in the canteen.
32:45When mum comes home, I'm going to behave myself all the time.
32:52Emily.
32:54It's good to stay positive, and I know that everyone's doing all they can to help your mum,
32:58but you can't be absolutely sure that she will come home right away.
33:04I just don't want you to be disappointed, that's all.
33:09It'll be all right.
33:11Lindsay said.
33:17Miss James, do I need to remind you that you're still under oath?
33:22If we discover that you're not telling the truth...
33:24I'm going to tell you the truth.
33:27I'll tell you the truth right now if you'll listen.
33:33That morning, he'd arranged a trip for me and my mum.
33:38A shopping trip.
33:40He said we deserved it.
33:42But I knew what he was planning.
33:43He wanted Em alone.
33:46Lindsay, don't.
33:48Please, tell her to stop.
33:50My mum was upstairs with Em.
33:53I went into the living room, and I told him I was not leaving my little sister with him.
34:00He said it was my fault.
34:02That if I'd been nicer to him, that if I'd been nicer to him, he wouldn't need Em.
34:06So what happened then?
34:09I tried to hit him, but he pushed me away.
34:12He shouted at me.
34:15He said it wouldn't just be me who got it.
34:18If I kept making a fuss, my mum would get it too.
34:22I said I'd tell her about us.
34:25But he said she wouldn't believe me.
34:27So, you told your mum?
34:31No.
34:34I went into the kitchen.
34:37And I picked up a knife.
34:42And when he came in, I stabbed him.
34:45Lindsay, no.
34:47God, no.
34:49Mrs James.
34:50I killed him.
34:52And I'm glad.
34:54You deserved it.
34:55Please.
34:56She's just making it up.
34:57She just wants to help me.
34:59Lindsay!
35:00Mum.
35:01Mum.
35:02I just want my mum.
35:03Mrs James, stay where you are.
35:06I just want my mum.
35:08I just want my mum.
35:11I just want my mum.
35:13I just want my mum.
35:13I just want my mum.
35:14I just want my mum.
35:15I just want my mum.
35:17I just want my mum.
35:19I hear there was an altercation in the staff room earlier.
35:22Well, after what you told me this morning, I couldn't pretend nothing had happened.
35:24In front of other staff and, I believe, a pupil.
35:27Yes, well, I'm not that two-faced.
35:28Not like Joe Lipset.
35:29See, that's your problem, isn't it?
35:31Confrontational, unprofessional, difficult to work with.
35:34Rachel won't stand for this.
35:35Rachel can't save you.
35:38You're pretty much washed up.
35:42Your head of department has made an official complaint about your attitude.
35:46Pupils have complained to me about your lessened content and conduct.
35:50And you're certainly out of allies in the staff room.
35:52You can't just fire a teacher like this, surely.
35:56I'm not firing you.
35:56I'm suspending you, and then I'll fire you.
36:01Anything else?
36:05You'll go to your classroom, get anything you need, then get in your car and go home.
36:10And we'll be in touch.
36:17Oh, Steph, I'm glad I've seen you.
36:18I want it to ask.
36:25What was all that about?
36:26Sit down.
36:27I'll fill you in.
36:34What's up with Miss Haydock?
36:36It's all right, madam.
36:40Is everything all right, Miss?
36:41Yes.
36:42Yes, it's just perfect.
36:45Are you going home early?
36:47I am going home early, yes.
36:49And just a word of advice for the future girls.
36:52Be careful who you're nice to, because you know what they say?
36:54No good deed goes unpunished.
36:56What good deed?
36:58Ask Miss Lipset.
37:01Tom.
37:03Tom.
37:04Hey.
37:05Well?
37:08Right, I saw him.
37:10And?
37:11Maybe Sam's overreacted.
37:14Overreacted?
37:15To being called barman?
37:16What, we don't know he called her that.
37:18Oh, he's calling her a liar now as well, is he?
37:20No, I'm just saying, we don't know the full story.
37:23Is that why you went to see Max, Tom?
37:25To get the full story?
37:27Look, and to be fair, it sounds like she was banged out of order the way she was behaving.
37:31Well, thanks, Tom.
37:32You've been a great help.
37:33Well, what do you want me to do?
37:34Give him a bollocking?
37:35Maybe.
37:36I thought you might go in there more like a man and less like a schoolboy.
37:39Do you mind?
37:40This shouldn't be my job, you know.
37:41I'm some schoolteacher.
37:42You're a parent.
37:45Yeah.
37:47Thanks for clearing that up, Tom.
37:49I didn't mean it, like...
37:50We'll talk about this later.
37:52No, we won't.
37:53I've got kids to look after.
37:58Chris, I can't talk now.
38:00I'm sorry.
38:01I'm going to have to explain later.
38:03It's quite unbelievable.
38:05No, what is it that's so urgent?
38:07I'm not...
38:09Steph.
38:10Look, I can't deal with that now.
38:11It's not my main priority.
38:14Chris, I'm going to have to go.
38:15I'll get back as soon as I can.
38:21Lindsay!
38:22Lindsay!
38:24Michaela!
38:24No, Miss, please.
38:25Can I just talk to her?
38:26Well, now isn't the time.
38:27Lindsay, I'm so sorry.
38:28Look, we shouldn't have fought all the gangers.
38:29But please!
38:30It was stupid.
38:31We're going to get you out, OK?
38:32We're going to get you in the paper and stuff.
38:34Miss, you shouldn't have to go to Jenna's life, right?
38:36I know, I know, love.
38:37Will she be OK, Amy?
38:38I hope so, Roz.
38:39You two get back to school now, OK?
39:03OK, what's going on?
39:08Is it some kind of a joke?
39:11An answer, please.
39:13Somebody?
39:14No, it's not a joke, Miss.
39:17We're just showing you our backs, Miss.
39:19So it'll be easier for you when you decide to stab us in them.
39:24You two?
39:25Outside.
39:26Now.
39:42Who have I stabbed in the back?
39:44Miss Haydock.
39:44We know you had us act.
39:46Just because you think you're all that now with the award and everything.
39:49This is ridiculous.
39:52All right?
39:52I mean, I admire your loyalty.
39:55And I'm sure she would be very, very flattered.
39:57But whatever you think you know about myself and Miss Haydock, you've got it all wrong.
40:01All the stuff you don't know, too.
40:03Meaning?
40:03Meaning if it wasn't for Miss Haydock, you wouldn't even be up for this stupid award in the first place.
40:07Yeah, it was her that persuaded us to do it.
40:10Do what?
40:11Vote to get you nominated?
40:13She wanted to do something nice for you.
40:15We shouldn't have listened now.
40:17Do you think we can denominate?
40:20Are you sure about this?
40:21We wrote the letters, didn't we?
40:23Has Miss Haydock been fired or what?
40:25Oh, firstly, it's none of your business.
40:27Okay, so that's a yes then.
40:28And secondly, no, she hasn't.
40:30So why is she packing up all her stuff and going home then?
40:42What did you say to Steph?
40:44I'm not allowed to discuss.
40:46Oh, rubbish, Max.
40:46Don't go quoting all your protocol and your procedure now just because it suits you.
40:49All right?
40:50You just tell me that you did not go behind my back and discipline Steph Haydock.
40:53Oh, for God's sake, grow up.
40:55If I had to wait for everyone's approval in this place, nothing would ever get done.
40:59I'd be out of a job and then pretty soon you would be too.
41:01Yeah, well, it was my understanding that you were just going to have a little chat with her.
41:04What is it about Steph that threatens you so much, Max?
41:08No, seriously.
41:09I don't know what personal acts you have to grind regarding that woman.
41:11Well, nothing apart from her appalling professional record.
41:14I don't know why you're so fond of her considering the way she acted after your nomination.
41:22It was Steph that nominated me for this award.
41:26See?
41:28You're not as good at playing people as you think you are, Max.
41:34Divide and rule.
41:37Doesn't always work.
41:39Now, what Steph Haydock needs to know is that there's been a mistake.
41:43And that you are very sorry.
41:47You have to be joking.
41:49Or I walk.
41:54I'm sorry to hear that.
41:56You're clearly not the teacher I thought you were.
42:13Lindsay, I want you to listen to me.
42:15In a moment, we're going to charge you.
42:18Okay?
42:18No, I don't want you to panic.
42:19I have to do this.
42:21I know.
42:22It's going to sound bad when they say it, but it just means they believe what you told them.
42:26I know.
42:26I know.
42:27It's fine.
42:31Your solicitors explained?
42:32Yeah.
42:33Yeah, it's fine.
42:34Just do it.
42:35You, Lindsay James, are being charged with the murder of Tony James by stabbing.
42:39You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention now something
42:44which you'll later rely on in court.
42:46But anything you do say may be given in evidence.
42:49Do you understand?
42:54Yeah.
42:56Rose.
42:59I'm sorry.
43:01Not earlier.
43:02No, you have nothing to apologise for.
43:05I do understand.
43:06I should have been so far away.
43:07No, you've got your career to think about.
43:10You can't jeopardise that over some name-calling.
43:18Listen, Tom.
43:20I can't expect you to be a father to my kids.
43:24And I was wrong to expect you to...
43:26No, it's not that I'm just...
43:27No, no, no.
43:28No, no.
43:29Hear me out a second.
43:31I know that with everything else that's going on in your life, you're head of department now and, you know,
43:38the whole dad thing, that it's not going to happen.
43:43And that's fine.
43:50If it makes you feel better, we could call it a break.
43:53See how it goes.
43:54See how it goes.
44:27Hi, Philip.
44:28Are you OK?
44:29Yeah, I'm all right.
44:31Just spread my back a bit.
44:33That's all.
44:33It's not a problem.
44:33I don't know.
44:34You should see a doctor.
44:35Look, I'm all right, OK?
44:39Hiya.
44:40Hi.
44:41What a nightmare, eh?
44:43You OK?
44:44Big drink tonight.
44:45You can tell me all about it.
44:46Yeah.
44:47Several good drinks, I think.
44:50What's been going on?
44:51Well, I don't want to add to your worries, but I wanted to catch you.
44:54Before you bumped into Max, the Steph thing's got worse.
44:58How?
44:59In that, it's not just Steph.
45:01What?
45:02Joe's, um, walked out with sympathy.
45:05Are you joking?
45:06No, I'm not.
45:07I'm sorry, Rachel.
45:08I feel like I've let you down.
45:09No, you haven't.
45:11I've only needed you.
45:11I think you've prioritised perfectly.
45:13Has she gone home?
45:14Yeah, her auntie's picked her up.
45:16Is Max still inside?
45:17In his office.
45:18Right.
45:20Good luck.
45:30Okay, Max.
45:31Come on.
45:33Tell me what happened today with Steph and Joe.
45:36Simply recommending Steph Haddock's dismissal to the Board of Governors.
45:40She's disruptive and a drag on morale.
45:42I'm doing what should have been done years ago.
45:45In the meantime, she won't be coming in.
45:46And do I really need to remind you about procedure?
45:49We have to give Miss Haddock a certain number of chances to improve her performance,
45:53but I'd say we're well beyond that, wouldn't you?
45:55So why did Joe go?
45:57Cold feet.
45:59I'll have a word with her when she's called off.
46:01She'll be back in tomorrow.
46:02Yeah, they'll both be back tomorrow.
46:05Excuse me?
46:08I'll be contacting them this evening,
46:10making it clear that Steph's dismissal was illegal
46:12and that I expect to see them both back at school tomorrow, as usual.
46:17Where exactly do you get the nerve, Rachel?
46:21In case you hadn't noticed, there was a real crisis today.
46:24But as usual, you weren't here.
46:27You're right.
46:28I left you alone for one day and there was a crisis.
46:31You should be thankful I had the guts to act and do the right thing.
46:34You don't seriously expect gratitude from me, do you?
46:37Are you not at all embarrassed by your failure to leave this school?
46:42I'll tell you what I'm embarrassed about, Max.
46:46I'm embarrassed that it's taken me this long to realise what you are.
46:50You're a bully.
46:52Pathetic.
46:54Old-fashioned bully.
47:19Well, this is a meeting of the ex-language teachers.
47:23I'm not sure you qualify.
47:26I'm sure our lord and master has filled you in on how destructive Stephanie has been today
47:30and how she's failing the school.
47:32Yes, and it's all nonsense and none of it stands.
47:35I'm not sure he'll agree with that.
47:36Well, I don't give a toss what he agrees with.
47:39He's trying to run the school like a mini-dictator.
47:41It's not happening, so I expect to see you both at school tomorrow, as per usual.
47:44Have you cleared that with him?
47:45I don't need to.
47:46I'm the headteacher.
47:48I'm in charge of staffing, you know?
47:52Want to see another?
47:52I don't need to.
47:56I don't need to.
