00:26Okay, that's great, everyone.
00:27Could I have a word with a couple of clothes mates and, er, Mr. Rimmer?
00:32It's brilliant publicity, this. For him, yeah.
00:36Right, guys, just a couple of questions.
00:38Er, Mr. Rimmer, how has clothes disappearance affected the school?
00:42Well, we're all extremely worried about clothes.
00:44Everybody's thinking about her. We want her back.
00:48Janice and Maxine, what message would you send clothes?
00:51She's our best mate. We really miss her. And so does her husband, Dante.
00:57Despite, er, clothes disappearance, we're not going to let it stop Waterloo Road going from strength to strength.
01:04And, er, whose idea was the balloon release?
01:07That was mine and Max's.
01:09Is there a message?
01:10Yeah, it's, erm, there's a picture of Chloe on her and a number to call if you see her.
01:14Okay, ready?
01:28Nice and prominent, yeah.
01:30Daughter of murdered teacher runs away.
01:32One-paged off this, Jan.
01:47Here we are.
01:48Oh, thanks, love.
01:50What have you got on this morning?
01:52Oh, it's year nine horrible class.
01:56Hormones raging.
01:57You'll sort them, though.
01:58Oh, yeah.
01:59I'll be sat there with the gums shut.
02:01Can't cope with chattering prepubescence first thing in the moment.
02:05Right, well, I'll stick these in the wash, er, if you've got your remotes.
02:10Try and remember what the quacks said.
02:15Get a little exercise.
02:17All my Christmas hamper money's on the side.
02:19Will you see that it gets paid in?
02:21Yeah.
02:40Look, er, haven't come to cause trouble.
02:44I just think you should be out looking for her.
02:47She is your wife.
02:48Wives don't do what she did.
02:51I just want to help look for her.
03:00That's stuffed.
03:06Sometimes we are cheating coming in.
03:08Break.
03:09Problem?
03:10No.
03:12I've seen her.
03:12Right flaming.
03:13Public serving.
03:14She's an ex headmaster.
03:16It's always good to get an outsider's point if you want to.
03:18What's that lot up to?
03:19Mr. Bolton's smiling.
03:30Are we having a picnic or tea?
03:33China night banquet, do you?
03:35Lovely.
03:38And we'll have it, right after I collect my winnings.
03:47What, your mum's decorating her red fluorescent pink, is she?
03:50I've got that in art.
03:51You've got that spraying my walls. Again, you're covered in the stuff.
03:54It's not spraying walls, it's graffiti art, innit?
03:58September, organising fights.
04:00The same month spraying foul and abusive language on my science block.
04:05October, here we go again. I'm sorry Candice, he's had his chances.
04:09Look, do you realise how serious this is? Every penny I earn from this kitchen goes on him.
04:14You exclude him and...
04:16I can't. I won't have drugs promoted or glorified in my school.
04:21No, Mr Rimmer. I'm not saying he's not had it coming, but if he's at home all day on his
04:26own,
04:27well, he'll have all sorts coming round.
04:30Yeah, well, maybe Dalyfield Eye can do something with him.
04:34That's at least four miles away.
04:35Yeah, well, George Maddow, he's the head there, he owes me a favour.
04:37Maybe they'll take him.
04:38I ain't being billin' inmates in Daly High! No way!
04:46And if you can get the boys to go through the chorus, that'd be great.
04:49They were useless yesterday.
04:51Mark, why are we doing this, eh?
04:53We've got two good singers, a kid who can play chopsticks and the rest are...
04:57Coming along nicely.
04:59Ah, Brett, just the man.
05:00I've changed your arrangement for one of the songs.
05:02Any chance I can see at lunchtime?
05:03Give the lad a break.
05:04You might take your mind off things.
05:08OK.
05:08I'll be there.
05:11Anyway, I'm gonna have to love you and leave you.
05:13Management meeting calls.
05:21They've kicked him out, haven't they?
05:24I know.
05:25Yeah, well, that Rimmer's always had it in for us.
05:27Hey, listen, he's had plenty of warnings.
05:28Yeah, well, there's loads of them that have had warnings, Mr Lawson.
05:31But how come it's always our Bolton that gets it in neck?
05:34I mean, one minute he's telling me I can't have bursary,
05:36and next he's slinging him out.
05:38Sorry, what bursary?
05:39One's for single mums.
05:40He said I'd missed deadline.
05:42Alicia Dillon's been telling everyone she's got two grand to come here.
05:45Yeah?
05:45Yeah.
05:46The whole thing stinks, I'm telling you.
05:48If he thinks that...
05:50Anyway, come on.
05:52Candice!
05:52I'm going to education.
05:59PHONE RINGS
06:04Hi.
06:05Um, we started setting up a website for Chloe,
06:07and we wondered if you'd like to contribute.
06:12Erm, she's an evil little cow,
06:14and I hope she throws herself under her bus.
06:16Mika!
06:17Never mind Mika!
06:18Why are you doing this?
06:21I'd never let my boyfriend get between me and my sister.
06:24As if I had a sister?
06:25Yeah.
06:26Like I really need a lecture on my sister from a junkie.
06:28All I'm saying is I wish I had a sister.
06:30We need to work together on this.
06:32Oh, but how would you react if she slapped me your boyfriend?
06:35I wouldn't want her to top herself like she does.
06:38None of you know what it's like, so don't start judging me.
06:42He's the reason she's gone missing.
06:52How did you think you'd get away with it?
06:54Eddie, listen.
06:56I've had a lot on, and I just didn't have the chance to get...
06:59I can't believe this.
07:00You're paying middle-class parents two grand to send their kids here?
07:05It's hardly jackpot money.
07:07It is to the likes of Candy Smiley.
07:09Look, this is for single parents whose kids can make a real academic difference to this school.
07:14Actually, I've lost the plot, mate.
07:15Yeah, well, maybe I have lost the plot working in this place for 15 years.
07:19Maybe that's the problem.
07:20No!
07:20The problem is Ofsted and your value-added crap and your league tables.
07:27You know, that's before you get to your 33% free school meals
07:31and a special needs register that reads like a psychiatrist's waiting list.
07:35These ten kids have transformed this place, and do you know what?
07:39Next year, there'll be ten more. We won't have to pay them.
07:41I went on the flaming radio and said what a great community school we are!
07:46Look, I'm only trying to do what every other head in this country is trying to do.
07:55Eddie, listen. We can extend the scheme next year.
07:58Bit late for Candice and Bolton.
08:00Yeah, well, I might have been a bit hasty or not.
08:02You get paid not to be hasty.
08:04I think Rhea Cheetham has found out she's coming in a break.
08:08What do she's rumble, dear?
08:09What about you, now that you know?
08:12Eddie!
08:14You could be looking at the sack here, mate.
08:22Jack?
08:23Not now, Steph!
08:36Sir, you know horses?
08:39It says here that they ate other horses.
08:42That's daft.
08:44Daft.
08:45Now, why didn't Shakespeare use that adjective?
08:49They turned wild in nature, broke their stalls.
08:53It was daft.
08:56Right.
08:56But in the Grand National, right?
08:58How come they don't start eating each other?
09:01Shh!
09:02Could you put a bit on that?
09:03Let me give you some very sage advice, Miss Dillon.
09:07Get on with your work and do not raise your head until the bell goes.
09:20Can I have a whirlwind, Miss Shackleton, please?
09:37How are you doing?
09:39Fine.
09:42Could we go for a drink after?
09:44You know, no strings, just...
09:46Look, Jack.
09:47This is going to be hard for both of us, so let's just...
09:49I'm in trouble.
09:53I don't want to know.
09:55Not anymore.
10:24Not anymore.
10:35Rimma sees you or get kicked out for good!
10:40Why are you here?
10:41I need to know if she's alright.
10:44Have you and Tom heard anything?
10:45I don't believe it.
10:47She's got everyone running round after her.
10:50Am I the only one that sees Chloe for what she is?
10:53Please.
10:54I'm just coming out and we'll look for her.
10:57I'll see you later, Dante.
11:00What did he want?
11:02The same as everyone wants.
11:04Helping up for her.
11:06Mika, I wish you'd think about this, love.
11:09That's all I've done.
11:11Think and cry.
11:13Chloe's 16.
11:14She's made a big mistake and she's paying for it.
11:16I'm not feeling sorry for her.
11:18You won't have to.
11:19Because wherever she is, I'm sure she's feeling sorry for herself.
11:32Right, Dante, lad.
11:34I said it.
11:35Can I borrow your moped?
11:36I want to go round a few places me and Cleo used to go.
11:40You're not insured, mate.
11:42The last ever bothered you.
11:43I'm a pillar of the community.
11:45I can't risk getting points on my licence.
11:49Tell you what, though.
11:50I'll come back after and I'll wish you round.
11:51Oh, come on.
11:52I need to go now.
11:53Sorry, mate.
11:54Come and see me at free.
11:55I've got a spare helmet.
12:08What do you reckon Larson and Mr Rimmer are arguing about?
12:11Larson's probably found out, but we've known for ages.
12:14Rimmer lacks the intellectual capacity for the job.
12:16Oh, Mr Rimmer's ace.
12:18Rimmer might be getting sacked.
12:19Hey.
12:20What for?
12:20Dunno.
12:21For being him.
12:22It's enough for me.
12:23I see Dante's done some work on your face.
12:27Good lad, Dante.
12:28Have you heard him?
12:29It's not to do with you.
12:30He's a mate, right?
12:31We're going into town after school, look for Chloe.
12:34Put these posters up and that.
12:35Don't forget to check the marks.
12:37Two teenage suicides every day in Britain.
12:39It's a known fact.
12:40Wish you'd top yourself.
12:51Yes, I can see that, Jack, but what I don't see is any collaborative partnerships with
12:56your cluster schools.
12:58Sorry I'm late.
13:01Eddie Lawson, deputy head.
13:04Hi.
13:04Ria Cheetham.
13:06I've asked Eddie to sit in with her, so I hope you don't mind.
13:09No, no, no.
13:10I'd, er, quite like to have his input.
13:17So they were arguing in the corridor?
13:19In front of the kids?
13:20Yep.
13:21Apparently Jack's been doing a bit of jiggery-pokery with the butcher.
13:25Doesn't surprise me.
13:26He'd do just about anything to big himself up.
13:27Yeah, well, whatever.
13:28I think he's in a lot of trouble.
13:30Good.
13:30About bloody time he got his fingers burnt.
13:33I mean, do any of you really know what you're supposed to have done?
13:37More than you do, evidently.
13:39Well, if you know anything else, then fill us in.
13:40Yeah, come on.
13:41What has he done?
13:43Well, I know that.
13:44He works fifteen hours a day, six days a week.
13:46And I know that parents who wouldn't have looked at the school last year are now sending
13:50the kids here.
13:59They received a bursary to come here.
14:02You see, they're from single-parent families, and that's who we wanted to target.
14:06That's not what the EIC money is meant for.
14:09You can't do this.
14:10Why not?
14:11I mean, Excellence in Cities funding is for our school development grant.
14:14It's money to spend as we see fit.
14:16But it's to be spent on pupils, not parents.
14:19Well, it's for school improvement and pupil achievement.
14:22Right.
14:22So, where's your school improvement plan?
14:26It's twenty grand.
14:28It's not half a million.
14:30Look, it's not just the G&T kids that are doing well.
14:34They're bringing on others as well.
14:37Mr Lawson?
14:39Please.
14:40Eddie.
14:43I think it might be a nice idea for you to meet these kids.
14:57Right.
14:59This is, erm, Ms?
15:02Mrs?
15:02Mrs?
15:03Mrs.
15:03Mrs.
15:04Cheetham.
15:05And she's from the LEA.
15:06And she'd like to talk to you.
15:09About...
15:10Well, I'm gonna let her tell you.
15:13Mr Rimmer's told me a lot about...
15:15Mr Rimmer, you'd better come to the canteen now.
15:17Candice is kicking off big time.
15:25Why did you lot come to Waterloo Road?
15:27Our mum's made us.
15:29Did you know anything about the school before you came?
15:31I knew it was a dump.
15:33Is that what everyone thinks?
15:35Is that all right?
15:36Is that all right?
15:37Is that all right?
15:38Yeah, but we gave you loads of homework.
15:40What's the world coming to, eh, Mrs Cheetham?
15:43I've been to four schools now, and this one's the best.
15:46Mr Rimmer's the best.
15:50No!
15:50That's out of debt and...
15:53Oh, my God!
15:57Candice!
15:58It's all for school.
15:59He can't make healthy eating!
16:01That's enough!
16:01I don't think so.
16:03I've only just started!
16:04Candice!
16:04Enough!
16:06I'm not cleaning up all this.
16:08Come on, let's go to my office.
16:09We can talk about this, yeah?
16:10Come on.
16:10I'm not one of your flaming school kids!
16:13Why don't you sack me, eh?
16:14I don't care.
16:15Hey, you've had a day of it, haven't you?
16:17Getting shot of our Bolton, now me!
16:19Look, I'm not getting shot of you nor Bolton, all right?
16:23Just...
16:23Calm down.
16:25Listen.
16:27I made...
16:28I've changed my mind, all right?
16:30I'll give him five days, one of which can be spent scrubbing my walls.
16:35So you're not kicking him out?
16:37Not permanently.
16:41I'll, er...
16:42I'll have this lot cleaned up in two minutes, Mr Rimmer.
16:59How am I done for?
17:00Calm yourself.
17:01The kids have been our biggest selling point.
17:03What, even Elisa didn't?
17:04I bet she enjoyed sticking the knife in.
17:05She tried?
17:06See.
17:07But the others outvoted her.
17:08We'd better get busy.
17:10Have you flagged any of this bursary stuff up on the SEF forms?
17:13Reports to governors?
17:15We've got to give her something.
17:17I thought you were ready to string me up.
17:19No, well, you're not out of the woods yet.
17:20She's on the phone to her people now.
17:38Tom.
17:39Tom.
17:40You wouldn't mind keeping an eye on my year sevens, would you?
17:43OK.
17:43Next lesson.
17:44Hey, just, like, for the last five minutes, I've got to get to the bank.
17:49Oh, er, payback time, is it?
17:50Yeah, don't worry about that.
17:53But it might have to come in a couple of instalments.
17:56What happened, mate?
17:56I need that money.
17:57I've got money coming in this week, and it's gonna go right in your pocket.
18:03Just five minutes, then.
18:06Cheers.
18:08OK, I've added a bit to our development plan, and I've tweaked a few of these departmental evaluations.
18:16Why are you doing this?
18:18Why are you doing this?
18:18Because I think you've got a chance, if Nigel backs you.
18:23Ria, come in.
18:25Gentlemen.
18:26How did you find the kids?
18:28Great.
18:29They spoke very highly of the school.
18:32I'll come straight to the point.
18:34I suggest you contact your chair of governors and ask him to convene an emergency meeting here at about two
18:39o'clock.
18:40Why?
18:41What's happened?
18:42The LEA will be laying formal charges of financial misappropriation.
18:46At you, Jack.
18:50Yes.
18:52Go on, now.
18:53Go on, then, Bertie.
18:54Go on, son.
18:59Come on.
19:02Hey, get your whip out.
19:04Go on, hit him.
19:05He's not gonna mind.
19:06Go on.
19:08Come on!
19:10Yes!
19:11Yes!
19:12Yes!
19:12Come on!
19:13Go on!
19:15Come on, Big Bertie.
19:17Go on, son.
19:18Go on.
19:19You're there!
19:19Go on!
19:20Go on, lad!
19:20You're next.
19:21Go on, lad!
19:28Go on, lad!
19:30Go on, lad!
19:31Good, good, good!
19:48Oh, what?
19:50You forgot. I'm sorry, sir.
19:55How's it going?
19:57Yeah. Not bad.
20:00Look, I know this is a difficult time for you, but we sort of need you.
20:12I'm, er, not gonna be able to do the show.
20:17Sorry?
20:18It won't be any use. My mind's all over the place.
20:23Are you serious?
20:29Well...
20:31No lead, no show.
20:34Good luck here, yeah?
20:37Why are you doing this, Brett?
20:38You could still find someone to take the role.
20:40You only got it cos no-one else wanted it.
21:01I've got some foot-popping to do.
21:06I told you, Jack. I don't wanna know.
21:09You're gonna hear about it sooner or later.
21:10I don't care.
21:14You know, I've even been trying to stick up for you in the staff room.
21:17I just want you to know that what I've done, I've only done for the kids and for the school.
21:22You're such a good lawyer.
21:24I'm not lying about this.
21:25You lied about everything else.
21:27Steph, your ability to cope.
21:29What do you want me to say?
21:31I want you to explain to me how you ended up sleeping with a desperate middle-aged woman when you
21:36had me.
21:38You just don't think things through, do you?
21:40You just charge straight ahead.
21:41Look, I messed up, you know.
21:43It doesn't take complex analysis, but...
21:47Maybe we can get through this.
21:49And do what?
21:52No.
21:54It's too late for us.
22:03In the 140.
22:05Thank you, mate.
22:20Seddon.
22:26Lewis.
22:27Good night, Mr Budgen.
22:30I want you to do me a little favour.
22:33There's a horse running in the 140 at Green Valley.
22:37Chocolate Flapjack.
22:39Look.
22:42There's £100 to win.
22:44Should be about 20 to 1.
22:47Go on, then. The bookie's five minutes away.
22:49Oh, right. You want me to...
22:50Well, I'll have to get permission off no-can-do-can-bees.
22:53It's misconduct leaving work.
22:57I'll give you a tenner.
22:58A tenner? To win you two grand?
23:0120 quid, take it or leave it.
23:03I can always get someone else.
23:04You might be struggling. The race starts in 10 minutes.
23:07I tell you what, Mr Budgen.
23:09If it loses, an out.
23:11If it comes in, I want 10%.
23:14If only you'd shown this endeavour when you were a pupil here, Lewis.
23:21Go.
23:23I want to see the winnings and or prove the bet was laid.
23:27Staff room 315.
23:39OK, you may as well all know there's been an emergency governor's meeting called for this afternoon.
23:45Ria Cheetham, the school advisor, has objected to me targeting funds at our new Year 10 kids.
23:53The gifted and talented group.
23:55Of course.
23:56Can't be seen to be helping clever kids, can we?
24:00Yeah, well, I did bend the rules a little, so there's a chance I might be suspended.
24:07Thank God.
24:09But I need to get one thing clear in my mind.
24:12The G&T kids, a success?
24:14Yeah.
24:15Because if Mrs Cheetham gets her way, then we're going back to mixed ability teaching.
24:19Hang on a minute, Jack. Are you serious? You could be suspended.
24:23I'm reasonably confident that the governors will see things our way. Don't worry about that.
24:41You're joking. Donny, I'm going away, Steve!
25:12I'm going away, Steve!
25:14Have a great day!
25:22Have a great day!
25:34Bye!
25:44Okay, 20 minutes.
25:46I want every I dotted, every T crossed.
25:48Are you sure about Nigel?
25:50Look, the last thing they want to do is look for a new headmaster.
25:52And with you in there rooting for me...
25:54Yeah, well, that'd be to, you know, show some remorse.
25:57I mean, technically, they haven't got you over a barrel.
25:59Listen, I'll bring in the custard. We can all have a slice of me humble pie, yeah?
26:04Mika Grange is here to see you.
26:06She seems a bit upset.
26:07I haven't got time.
26:18Come in.
26:21Come on, Nigel. Come on, Nigel.
26:24Come on, Nigel.
26:28Yes!
26:29Two thousand quid, I think I hope!
26:34Right, yes, just a little bit of good news, that's all.
26:37Just get on with your work.
26:40In fact, no.
26:41We'll stop there.
26:43Yeah, I know it's a bit early, but you can have a blether on, can't you, for the last ten
26:46minutes.
26:47And before you ask, yes, you can listen to your personal stereo, what's-its.
26:55I just keep asking myself what my mum would do.
27:02She'd be proud of you, Mika.
27:04She'd be proud of both of you.
27:08I worked with your mum long enough to know that she loved you both unconditionally.
27:14Why?
27:17What?
27:20When mum died, did she, you know, say anything?
27:29When it happened?
27:32It's just...
27:32I know Tom don't want to discuss it, but...
27:38She, um...
27:42She said, look after them.
27:45She said, look after my girls.
27:51Listen, it's going to be all right, Mika.
28:00You OK?
28:10I'm sorry. Are you using this room?
28:14No, er... I just saw you from outside.
28:17You all right?
28:19No.
28:22You heard about Jack?
28:24Yeah.
28:25Listen, I feel really bad about earlier.
28:30I know that you and him...
28:31There is no me and him.
28:33It's over between us, so...
28:36Er, I'm sorry, I didn't know.
28:38You don't need to apologise, Tom.
28:42Is that your fault?
28:43No.
28:48I'd best be getting off.
28:50Give me a shout-out, yeah?
28:52It's never been the same, you know?
28:55Since Izzy died.
28:58Cold sweats.
29:01Dark mood.
29:02Anti-depressant.
29:04And that's just the good days, yeah?
29:17I'm sorry.
29:19It's never been the same.
29:20It's not good.
29:32It's never been the same.
29:34It's never been the same.
29:36You've been the same.
29:36Go, go, go, go.
30:10It's Chatham.
30:36Ladies.
30:37Come on, Mr. Goodwin.
31:04Sir?
31:04Mr. Rimmel wants to see Daniel and Alicia.
31:19I know Mr. Rimmel's done a great job.
31:23This isn't personal.
31:25It's about what's right and what's wrong.
31:26Excellence in cities, the national strategy.
31:30You won't find anything in there about bribing parents with handouts.
31:33It's not a bribe.
31:34I selected these pupils, yes, because we needed their impact at Waterloo Road.
31:40We have to create a pro-school culture.
31:43I think we've done it.
31:46We definitely need a massive demon.
31:49Of course.
31:50That'll really shake him up.
31:51No, some of you might not like him, but Mr. Rimmel's helped just about everybody here.
31:55Me, Max, you, you.
31:58What can we possibly achieve?
31:59Maybe nothing.
32:00But if it weren't for Rimmel, I'd be cleaning tables and serving fries.
32:03Yeah, so if you hate him that much, you can always go back to that posh school and do us
32:08all a favour.
32:10I'll admit, when I met the pupils, the majority of them are genuinely pleased to be here.
32:15But what support have they been getting?
32:16Every flaming level of support.
32:18Extra lessons, new curriculum, targeted mentoring.
32:21So not only do the parents get a wad of school cash, you give them extra help and tuition.
32:27And sod the other kids.
32:32You're putting a nice little spin on things, Mrs. Cheetham.
32:37I'd like you to hear from Bridget Morley.
32:41Nigel.
32:44What the hell's going on?
32:45Mrs. Cheetham, I'm not entirely sure that...
32:47Mrs. Morley's the school bursar here.
32:49She knows better than most about how a school budget runs.
32:54PHONE RINGS
32:59Tom, any news on Jack?
33:01No.
33:02Hey.
33:03Told Fleur.
33:05That's it.
33:06Bump.
33:06No more flaming shopping channel.
33:09Yeah.
33:09Glad to hear it.
33:10And, er, I'm sorry for putting you on the spot.
33:14You know, er, what with Chloe and everything.
33:18Hey.
33:18Forget it.
33:22All right?
33:25A nightmare, isn't it?
33:28Totally out of the blue.
33:29Well, this has been brewing for weeks.
33:32If your suspicions he was going to bail out, you should've...
33:35You're not talking about Brett flaming Aspinall.
33:37You do know that Jack Rimmer's face in the sack.
33:39Sorry, yeah, I heard.
33:42Look, the show, we can... we can put it on next year.
33:46I don't care about the sodding musical, Matt.
33:48If I have to listen to another talentless teenager...
33:52Is, er, Mr Budge in there, please?
33:55Lewis.
33:58Donny Charles, er, robbed me moped.
34:00So I never got a chance to put it on.
34:06That's 2,000 quid you've cost me!
34:09Get lost.
34:09I've not cost you now.
34:10I've lost out and all.
34:11It's Donny Charles you what I see.
34:13Is everybody flaming mental round here, or what?
34:21Mrs Cheetham's talked a lot about rules and frameworks.
34:27And do you know what?
34:28I've had it up to here with evaluation and policy review.
34:32I just want to run a successful school.
34:36Waterloo Road.
34:39And I'm sorry that I didn't tell the governors what I was doing, Nigel.
34:42You are responsible for the operational management of the budget.
34:46That doesn't give you carte blanche to go and spend it on whatever pet project takes your fancy.
34:51Pet projects?
34:51What about the single parents whose kids have finally found a school that believes in them?
34:56Tell that to Carla Bentham, our Aspergers pupil.
34:59Three schools before she ended up here.
35:01Very bad girl.
35:02Actually not a beneficiary of your bursary.
35:07Yeah, well, look, we are going to achieve the highest GCSE grades in our history.
35:14And it's going to get better.
35:16There's no paperwork, no receipts, no accountability.
35:20You know, last week they were breaking.
35:22Police called me at two o'clock in the morning.
35:23That's accountability!
35:25Jack, your own bursar didn't even realise what you were up to.
35:32Section 38.3 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998.
35:37The headteacher is required to inform governors of all transfers of money to and from school accounts.
35:43I'm really sorry to say this, but in cases of mismanagement of money,
35:48the LEA will consider legal proceedings.
35:57Look, I don't agree with what Jack's done, but his heart's in the right place.
36:05He's seen off two takeover bits, suffered every head's worst nightmare,
36:10and we're still here fighting for this community.
36:15If what Jack's done is illegal, I'm proud to be his deputy.
36:25I'm proud of him.
36:40Hey.
36:44No news on Jack?
36:46I think I'm scared.
36:48You don't mean that.
36:53Come here.
37:01Jack, you've taken us from the abyss to the brink of academic success.
37:05We've been lucky to have you.
37:08But we must manage the school finances in accordance with the LEA rules.
37:14Of course, there'll be an inquiry.
37:17Until that time, I must suspend you.
37:21You can't suspend him.
37:23I ask you to leave the premises and not to return until I call you.
37:27This is crazy. You can easy fight this.
37:29It's OK. It's OK.
37:32I'm sorry, Jack.
37:34Don't be.
37:35You're only doing your job.
37:38I might know that I could depend on your lack of support.
37:52You'll have my resignation by the end of the day.
37:54Oh.
37:56Jack, I said suspended. There's a very good chance.
37:59I've brought the rules, Nigel.
38:03I won't put the school crew another tribe in.
38:06It takes some time to consider your decision.
38:08Will you be considering yours?
38:22Good old mate.
38:24Good old mate.
38:35The best way to live?
38:41What is your decision?
38:42Yes, it's so bad that you've learned when you've traveled.
38:42Well, it acaba it's not calculating.
38:51All right, you're right?
38:51Well, it's all best.
38:59Jack, I know what you said in there, but I can't believe you're just going to throw the towel in.
39:07There's only so many times it can go to the wire.
39:13I've burned out, Eddie.
39:19I haven't got a stomach for it anymore.
39:24You know, in a funny way, I'm relieved.
39:31School needs to move on.
39:43Come on.
39:55None of you got homes to go to.
40:02I've resigned.
40:04With immediate effect.
40:08I won't be making a speech.
40:10I'd be glad to hear.
40:11I'd just say my goodbyes.
40:13Individually.
40:14Paul.
40:17You're doing a good job with that musical.
40:18Keep it up.
40:18Cheers.
40:20Jasmine.
40:23Now, I want you to keep an eye on Grantley for me.
40:25Keep my mind straight and narrow.
40:27All the best.
40:28Hey.
40:30Thanks.
40:32Look after yourself, eh?
40:42Don't hate me.
40:46Should have worn me waterproof, Buzzy.
40:48Come here.
40:53Love you loads.
41:06Jack.
41:08She's still here, you know.
41:13Davina.
41:43I can't believe you're leaving.
41:46It won't be the same.
41:49You'll manage.
41:52I know things have been braided back between us,
41:53and that's my fault.
41:54There's no need, Tom.
41:55There is.
41:57I've just got things all twisted in my head.
42:03I don't blame you.
42:06You know.
42:12It's going to work out for you, you know, Tom.
42:15Jack.
42:16A mob of kids are surrounding the governor's.
42:18They won't let him leave.
42:22We want river.
42:23We want river.
42:25We want river.

47:56You too, mate.
48:01Nigel wants me to give him a call.
48:06Guess I'll be holding the fort.
48:11Look after the place, won't you?
48:15Well.
48:32No luck.
48:42You look shattered.
48:44And everywhere we ever used to go, Mika, nothing.
48:48Look, come inside.

48:51All right.
48:52You don't want me in there.

49:03Come on.
49:03Come on.
49:04Come on.
49:17Come on.
49:23Come on.
49:24Alan Morrison.
49:25And this is my colleague, Paul Connor.
49:27We're county court-appointed bailiffs.
49:29We're here to weather distress on a widescreen television.
49:34Upstairs.
49:35First on the left.
49:47Who are you?
49:50Grandway!
49:51Grandway!
49:52Don't panic.
49:53Look, I'll explain later.
49:55What's going on?
49:55Where are they taking the telly?
49:57Please, don't worry.
49:58I'll sort it, sir.
49:59If I could trouble you for the remote control.
50:28Just one more letter, then I'll be out of your way.
50:31Mr Rimmer.
50:33Rhea Cheesham didn't give me a choice.
50:35Listen.
50:37Don't worry about that.
50:38That was my fault.
50:40Okay?
50:54I've, um, just bumped into a rather frazzled Mr Larson.
51:00Yeah, well, he's, um, he's in at the deep end, I'm afraid.
51:05What are you going to do?
51:08I'm going to do what you shouldn't.
51:13I'm going to take some time out of education.
51:17Whereas you have what it takes to be an outstanding teacher.
51:22Passion.
51:23Intelligence.
51:25And you're not an old cynic like me.
51:29I mean it.
51:30I think you've got what it takes to go all the way.
51:34Jack.
51:36You've put everything into this place.
51:43There were times recently when I thought I was going to end up on that roof, like the previous, Ed.
51:51Now, I'm getting out with my pride.
51:56Just about intact.
52:02I want you to know that.
52:06I think you're an amazing guy.
52:12I think you're an amazing guy.
52:40I don't think I'm going to be able to do this.
52:42Yes, you are.
52:45You're stronger than the lot of them put together.
52:52I've never met anyone like you.
52:56I'll come back in a few years, you'll be running the flaming place.
53:05I'll see you then.
53:07Yeah.
53:07God, let's go.
53:10I'll see you then.
53:12I'll see you then.
53:26Bye.
53:26Bye.
53:26Bye.
53:31Bye.
54:33We're right back.
