00:20How many more times?
00:22Totally professional, yeah?
00:23It's not my idea to have your kids crawling over my work.
00:26It's Eddie who's keenly learning about Enterprise.
00:29Well, I just wish you wouldn't let him bully you into it.
00:31Funny as it may sound, I did it to please you.
00:35Well, next time, just buy me theatre tickets, yeah?
00:40So, what time are you leaving for your mum's?
00:42About five-ish?
00:43But if you let it be, this trip might actually be fun.
00:48Yeah.
00:49Miss Cole?
00:51See you later.
00:52Yeah, see yous.
00:58Hey, Mum.
00:59Yeah, I was just about to call.
01:02Where are you?
01:04Rochdale Station.
01:06What? No, no, no, I'm coming to yours.
01:08Yes, I know you were coming to me, but I couldn't face rattling around at home.
01:14Not today.
01:15So, I bought an overnight bag.
01:17No.
01:17Where's your state in that long drive?
01:20No.
01:20Oh.
01:22Sorry, Matthew.
01:24I think the taxi's here and I've got to go.
01:25I'll see you in a moment.
01:55Moves it at home.
01:57three of us.
02:12Go, Paul!
02:14Oh, shit!
02:16Hey, tell us.
02:19Joey!
02:22Hey!
02:23Hey!
02:24Hey, buddy.
02:25É AVerse!
02:25Hey!
02:25He's faster.
02:25Hey, buddy, just wait.
02:30Mum!
02:37Alright, alright, I'm coming!
02:43Shouldn't you be at school?
02:44Shouldn't you be at school?
02:45You're not asking me for a reference for a different career.
02:49The law?
02:50Yeah, well, I didn't exactly expect your approval.
02:53Too right. I'm not giving you a reference for this.
02:56I really want you back.
02:58And how are you going to do that? It's been a week.
03:00Even the kid they were bullying has not changed the story.
03:03I know.
03:03Yeah, so what are the chances Michaela will?
03:06Eddie, I've been there, remember?
03:08Right now she doesn't give her monkeys what you or I think.
03:10All she cares about is losing face with her mates.
03:13She'll never back down.
03:15I know the odds are stacked.
03:17But you can't give up.
03:18Yeah, so what, we drag it all on and get my face splashed all over the papers?
03:23Look, I'm going to need something fast.
03:25If only to make my mum and dad think that leaving was my decision.
03:29Hmm?
03:32You don't know, do you?
03:34Know what?
03:35The parent governors.
03:36They've called me in for my hearing.
03:39Tonight.
03:46Morning, Mr. Clarkson.
03:50Look like they own the place.
03:54Our favourite pupils on the prowl, are they?
03:58Can't believe it's come to this.
04:00Jasmine's stuck at home and this lot are here loading it up.
04:02Well, we followed the rules.
04:04It's not our fault they only favour one side.
04:08Wookie like Jasmine.
04:10Knock her down, she just might not bounce back.
04:13As if we're not short enough as it is.
04:16And the Lord said.
04:22What's going on?
04:23Why is it all right?
04:28I'll, um, make up the spare room if I'd known you were coming.
04:31Oh, Matthew, stop fussing.
04:33I'm sure I can throw a sheet on.
04:35Yeah, sorry.
04:36You just caught me off guard a little bit.
04:38Well, if I waited to be invited, I'd have waited forever.
04:41I began to think you were in some sort of shack.
04:44Well, hardly.
04:46No.
04:47Can you afford it?
04:48Mum, I can afford it.
04:51Two bedrooms is handy.
04:53Though, I imagine, by the time you start thinking about a nursery,
04:57he'll be somewhere more suitable.
05:00Ah, that's a way off yet.
05:11People still remember.
05:13Your father's only been dead for four years.
05:17Oh, the truth is, I simply couldn't face sitting waiting to see you today.
05:21That's why I came.
05:24I'm just really sorry that I can't get out of this trip.
05:27Well, I wouldn't want you to.
05:29But maybe you can show me around later.
05:32You get that from your dad, putting other people first.
05:37You two always were alike.
05:40You got to loads of stuff in the dark.
05:44Don, you're my killer, eh?
05:48Well, I could want you anyway, dog breath.
05:53All right, all right, shut it.
05:56Can anyone tell me what's going on?
05:58Er, slight problem, Deputy Headmaster.
06:01The whole school's dark.
06:02Oh, great, that's just what I need.
06:04Who else took them?
06:05We did.
06:08Maker.
06:08We're trying to reduce our carbon footprint.
06:11So we bought these instead?
06:13Oh, have you now?
06:14Of course, what we'd really like is for you to take that monstrosity of a car off the road.
06:18Do you know you're emitting twice as much carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons as other cars?
06:22Pretty selfish, wouldn't you say?
06:23Well, it still doesn't give you the right to do this.
06:26This is a working school, not somewhere for you to practise your infantile politics.
06:32Er, that's out of order, sir.
06:34We were told we could.
06:36Didn't Miss Mason tell you?
06:39Excuse me.
06:43Morning.
06:44Morning.
06:45All set for our little jaunt?
06:47Mm, as I'll ever be.
06:49Oh, come on, Matt.
06:51Crack a smile, at least it gets us out of this place for a day.
06:54Yeah.
06:55It's just bad timing.
06:57Well, as they say, the problem's shared, eh?
07:03Eddie, it was an off-the-cuff remark.
07:06Mika was doing her eco-worry a bit, and I said if she cared so much, what were her and
07:10Brett doing about it?
07:11It would have been nice to have been told.
07:13How was I supposed to know what they had planned?
07:15I half hoped they'd use the school council.
07:18Must have been beneath them.
07:19And that's not the only thing you haven't told me.
07:21What, the parent governors?
07:23I only found out myself last thing.
07:25Never heard of a phone.
07:26I just didn't want you charging in and making things worse.
07:30Do you think I could?
07:31Mika is lauding it, and the whole school's waiting for a supply teacher who never shows.
07:35I have called the agency, and they're sending someone in.
07:38We don't need someone else.
07:40We should be fighting tooth and nail for Jasmine.
07:43No, Eddie. What we're required to do is remain impartial.
07:46I'll remember to tell her.
07:48Have you seen her?
07:49She's after a reference to retrain.
07:51Eddie, you've got to keep your distance. Is that understood?
07:57Hello.
07:58Wilson Bingham. Replacement supply.
08:00Covering Ms. Koreshi's glass.
09:02Well, you should have said, Maxine.
09:04I'm sure I could have rustled you up some extra French.
09:08OK, let's test the balls, please. Come on.
09:11Right.
09:13This is Mr Scott.
09:15He's helping our Step to Work initiative.
09:17Now, hopefully, today will give you a better idea
09:19of what it's like in the big bad world.
09:21Only, first off, it's Colin.
09:23Mr Scott makes me feel ancient.
09:25Morning, Colin.
09:27So, what we have here is a collection of small businesses.
09:30People I've helped get started.
09:31Like Dickran here, who's offered to lend a hand.
09:34He runs his own business.
09:36Profits last year in the low six figures.
09:38And for those of you struggling with the maths,
09:40that's a sight more than I earn.
09:43OK, let's start.
09:44Dickran, can you take them through?
09:46Yeah, sure.
09:48Do you want to follow me, guys?
09:50Can't be.
09:58Can we talk?
09:59Yeah, sure.
10:01A little bit of a problem.
10:03Mum arrived.
10:04I thought you were going to her.
10:06Yeah, not any more.
10:07She's in the flat?
10:09Spare room, yeah.
10:10Oh, nightmare.
10:11What a way to find out.
10:12How did you take it?
10:14She, um, didn't.
10:17She hasn't worked it out yet.
10:18I was too sure in her bed's a bit of a giveaway.
10:20Yeah, um, we're not going to.
10:24Cos didn't have much of an option,
10:25so I kind of cleared your stuff out.
10:29You did what?
10:30Look, I'll put it all back as soon as she goes, OK?
10:32You evicted me from my own flat?
10:35Well, I've spoken to Simon.
10:36It's all good.
10:36You can stay at his.
10:37You're palming me off onto mates now.
10:39This keeps getting better.
10:40Well, be fair.
10:41I mean, what else can I do?
10:43Be straight with her.
10:44Oh, no, sorry.
10:46That's what you are being.
10:56Don't run on the stairs!
11:02Why'd you let him book in?
11:04You made him look an idiot over those light bulbs.
11:06Big deal.
11:07He's still murdering the planet with that tank of his.
11:10So what do you want to do about him?
11:12I don't know.
11:14If he thinks he's getting away calling us infantile.
11:18Jasmine's a deterrent in the morning.
11:20She's going to walk before she's pushed.
11:22I tried to talk her around, but...
11:24maybe you have to leave her at the chat.
11:26Oh, she's away, remember?
11:28Listen, there's something else she told me.
11:31In confidence, right?
11:32It seems when Jazz was a kid, she took to wait about as well.
11:37Well, er, maybe that's something we shouldn't shout about, eh?
11:40Otherwise we'll play right into Michaela's hands.
11:43Hmm.
11:43I don't know if about bullies from Mika.
11:46Mika?
11:47Yeah, last year, she had a spider being bullied herself.
11:54I'll see you, all right?
11:57I'll tell you, mate, Michaela's dead up for it.
12:00Get in there!
12:02Oh, you're weird.
12:05OK, time to get your hands dirty.
12:08Dickran and I have prepared something for you to do.
12:10Er, yeah, what I do is, er, make promo films.
12:13Online stuff.
12:14It's about getting recognition for new bands, product, whatever.
12:18Buzz marketing, letting the customer find you.
12:21Which is what we're going to do for Waterloo Road.
12:23Ah, cool.
12:24Er, I've done the filming.
12:26Er, that's our source material.
12:27Can't guarantee it's any good, but...
12:29OK, let's, er, crack on, shall we?
12:32OK, and obviously we can add music to it.
12:34Er, you can choose the music yourselves.
12:36Right, this first image, as you can see...
12:40Hey, I didn't plan this, did I?
12:43You had long enough to stop it happening.
12:45How many times have I pleaded for you to tell your mum?
12:48That time was never right, was it?
12:50So instead, today happens, and your first reaction is to panic.
12:53What else am I supposed to do?
12:55Rub a nose in it?
12:57I didn't mean that.
12:58It's what you said.
13:00Mark, today was a gift for our chance.
13:04Won't you come round?
13:07Like, as a mate?
13:08Look, just let her get used to you.
13:10Going about our man-city need a decent midfield, like real blokes.
13:13Shh, shh.
13:14You only think adding another line will make, telling her any easier.
13:17Coles, I'm trying, please.
13:21No.
13:23I'm coming home, and I'm sleeping in my own bed.
13:30Now you're being ridiculous.
13:35Shouldn't you be with the others?
13:41What am I to you, Matt?
13:43I went along with the charade with your mother.
13:45I thought one day you'd...
13:47Well, it's not going to happen, is it?
14:08It's one of the basic effects we've got is the fade, so I've got some of you.
14:11Pull it back very slowly and carefully.
14:14Look at the middle two screens.
14:15Is that your legs, Janice?
14:17There you go, change.
14:19And go back again.
14:20Go back up.
14:22Excellent.
14:23Okay, so we're looking at about 90 seconds max.
14:25Now, remember, this is all about hooking the viewer, yeah?
14:29Yeah, I know what I saw.
14:30It was the right hissy fit.
14:32Well, I don't know about them, but I'm having a great time.
14:35Glad someone's enjoying today.
14:37Okay, anyone, any questions so far?
14:40Can I ask something?
14:42How come you and Mr Wilding met?
14:45I don't think that's very relevant, Maxine.
14:48Well, what I mean is, are you just mates or are you, you know...
14:53And just what I thought you might be growing up.
14:56I am only asking, seeing as they both like musicals and that.
15:00Right, are there any serious questions?
15:03What are you?
15:10So they know.
15:11Big deal.
15:12This isn't 1950.
15:14People accept it.
15:15Schools aren't like that.
15:17Kids work on figuring out your weakness and then going at it.
15:21Then stop thinking that way and start being proud of who you are.
15:24Hey, I am.
15:25I'm really proud of us.
15:28What I said earlier about rubbing a nose in it.
15:32That's not what I think, you know that.
15:34Then why is it so hard to be honest?
15:37You mean with mum?
15:40It's just not that simple.
15:43What's the alternative?
15:44Go on lying?
15:46Don't you think I hate this?
15:50Then let's do it.
16:57We feel if we had a bit more time, we might be able to sort this out in-house.
17:03No, it's not a stalling measure.
17:07Oh, well, I wouldn't want to inconvenience a governor's holiday plans, thanks.
17:12For nothing.
17:13No joy.
17:15Even if the ad said yes, I don't know what I could have done.
17:18Michaela and the little gang don't look like breaking ranks.
17:20Yeah, well, the rest of the school are too intimidated to go against her.
17:26Well, so that's it?
17:27What, Jazz just resigns?
17:30Well, that means it could be his lucky day.
17:33Grantley reckons he's trying to make an impression.
17:36Hmm.
17:37Ask me he's sniffing around for something more permanent.
17:40There isn't a vacancy.
17:42Anyway, I hate to add to your good mood, but I've just taken that off the front notice board.
17:48Mika, I'll have a word.
17:50No, I will.
17:51Look, Eddie, no offence, but you kicking off is just going to make her dig her heels in even harder.
17:55It's funny.
17:56What is?
17:57Something Jasmine said about Michaela.
17:59She said the only things kids listen to is each other.
18:11I am fed up having my car ridiculed.
18:15I could recommend a good crusher, sir.
18:17Shut up for once, Aspinall.
18:20And listen.
18:21Because what I'm offering you is a deal.
18:23Like what?
18:26The head wants you to use the school council as a platform for your future eco-complaints.
18:31No way.
18:32The only thing we'll accept is your car off the road.
18:35Yeah.
18:36Why would we waste our time with that?
18:37Nothing the council comes up with ever gets to listen to.
18:40Maybe because, until now, the council didn't have any backing.
18:45You?
18:48And why would you support anything we put forward?
18:51That's where your part of the deal comes in.
18:54First off, I want the council to establish credibility.
18:57So, send a report to the head on something that she can't chuck in the bin.
19:02Bullying.
19:03This has to do with Miss Qureshi, isn't it?
19:05If you like.
19:06But think about it.
19:08If we tackle bullying, we all win.
19:10Before you know it, the head's lording the council to the governors.
19:13Another example of how inclusive we are.
19:16And then we can bring forward stuff we're really into.
19:20Like banning cars from school property.
19:23Think about it.
19:25But I need an answer today.
19:36OK, so, what's anybody learnt?
19:41Well, I hope we haven't wasted Colin and Dick Rand's time.
19:46I mean, I'd hate to think that there wasn't going to be interest in other trips.
19:51Is that not to be scared in starting up our own business?
19:55Yeah, and, like, not to be put off by other people and that.
19:58Exactly. If it's what you want.
20:00Go for it.
20:02The only things in your way are things you put there yourself.
20:06OK, um, I'm sure we'd like to thank Colin and Dick Rand, so...
20:14Right, let's get you lot on the bus.
20:18What are you doing now?
20:19Well, what do you think? I won't let no-one else say they found out about Mr Wilding first, was
20:23I?
20:23That's where you're wrong. I already knew. I just didn't think it mattered.
20:30No snogging in the back!
20:32Hey!
20:33Sorry, miss.
20:36You're me.
20:38Hey, Colt. I'm, er, going to see your band tonight. Don't know if you fancy.
20:44Er...
20:46Er...
20:47Sorry, I can't.
20:48Well, er, if you fancy another night.
20:56You OK?
20:57Yeah.
20:59Listen.
21:00Sorry it all had to happen like this.
21:02So am I.
21:04I've been thinking...
21:05I don't think it's best to do anything tonight.
21:07I'm driving Mum back tomorrow. I will tell her then, OK?
21:10And if you get down there in the moment, it's still not right.
21:13I need you to decide.
21:16I need you to swear you'll tell her tomorrow.
21:20I'll try, OK?
21:22In which case, I'll clear the rest of my things out. I'll be gone by the time you get back.
21:26Oh, come on!
21:26It's not what either of us wants.
21:29Who knows this?
21:42Oh, we're getting these, Pa. They don't do normal lessons.
21:46So Mr. Fudgen said.
21:48Why can't we do photocopy cheats? That's what suppliers usually do.
21:51Not this one. Health and safety. I'm worried you'd lick all the ink off and go off on a trip.
21:57No, I thought we'd have a go at a bit of Shakespeare.
22:00Blokes in tights?
22:02Yeah.
22:03Blokes in tights.
22:04Blokes in make-up.
22:05Blokes pretending to be girls.
22:07Oh, yeah.
22:08All of human life is here.
22:10Hatred.
22:12Jealousy.
22:13Rhymoxies.
22:14That's what happens.
22:16But you know what? Shakespeare can be boring. But it's not going to be with me. I'm going
22:20to make it relevant. You're going to understand it. There we go. If you open it, page 30.
22:27Look, I'm not saying we trust him. Just give it a go.
22:31I'll catch you up.
22:32He's gay!
22:33Any idea what stirred this mob? What shift? One minute, OK? The next, blaming hyper.
22:40I noticed that as well.
22:46So how come Clarkson didn't tell you about Wendy Wilding? Look, whatever it is you want
22:51on about, I'm not interested. Unless, he's one and all. One what? Queer. I mean, your
23:00mum. She was always a bit dykey. Maybe they were just covering up for each other.
23:06Look, whatever it is you're flaming on about, leave my mum out of it. Or what?
23:11What? So you hide behind your mates, do you? Well, that's what you're there for.
23:16Er, shut it, you. Like with Miss Qureshi. You lied to cover her back. And they don't
23:21kid yourself. She dropped me straight in it to save herself.
23:24You are really asking for it. Well, now's your chance. This has nothing
23:28to do with you two. Why not just leave it between me and her?
23:34And have you go mouthing off to Clarkson? No way. Come on, girls. She ain't worth it.
23:48Right. Tell your mates any incidents of bullying this term that are reported to the year rep
23:54in time for the school council meeting.
23:58Did you get my text? Can you believe it? The lion's den.
24:04It's not likely to get any worse. Colin ended it.
24:08And you just let him.
24:10Well, why don't you ring him? Or better still, go back and see him.
24:13And say what? That he was right? I'm a coward.
24:18So this is what a coward does, is it?
24:21Comes in to teach you knowing that one day you're going to face this.
24:24Come on.
24:33Oh, who, dear, me, didn't know, dear.
24:36I'm trying to get detention, are you, Michaela?
24:38Take your notice, sir.
24:40If anyone gives you an hour time, let me know and I'll get people to do some serious damage.
24:44Violence isn't the way, is it, Janice?
24:45Missed out on a proper little minder there, didn't you?
24:48No.
24:50This is something I should have on my side.
24:51You've done that.
24:52You've done that, man. I'm a lad.
24:53Don't be a woman on your life, like, wildest.
24:55What are you up to?
24:57Nothing.
24:59Stay here.
25:01I'm not going to bear with him.
25:02Told you we should have gone.
25:03Oh, sure.
25:09Who did it?
25:10What?
25:10You're looking at an exclusive concert.
25:12Empty concerts.
25:13Me?
25:13Do it now.
25:14I didn't even do it.
25:15What do you mean?
25:15You've got an album.
25:16Here, hide this.
25:22All right, Langley.
25:23Don?
25:24No.
25:24Do it!
25:29Say you can't.
25:30Shut it!
25:30Cooler, now.
25:31Yes, sir.
25:32Let's see what the head has to say, shall we?
25:34Yes, sir.
25:41What are we going to do now?
25:46So unfair.
25:47What is that?
25:48Because it wasn't you?
25:49Dom, you were left carrying the can.
25:52Literally.
25:52Please, sir.
25:53I didn't even...
25:53Right.
25:53I'll give you a choice before Miss Mason gets here.
25:56You tell me you did it, you can go.
25:59They killed me.
26:00You don't know what it's like.
26:02Fine.
26:02Your choice.
26:03Please, no.
26:05Just...
26:05They're things that got ripped.
26:07I don't think them.
26:08I know there's nothing wrong with you.
26:10Yeah, but you were still a part of it.
26:12They had to be.
26:16If I'd have gone, then they would have wondered why.
26:19What's that supposed to mean?
26:24Because...
26:25They might think things like...
26:34Like what?
26:40That I was gay as well, sir.
26:46I know a lot of kids will be intimidated, but I've got Mr Lawson's assurance that anything
26:52we're given will be treated in confidence.
26:59Right.
27:00I'll start.
27:02Today, Michaela White tried intimidating me.
27:05And I was scared.
27:07And the easiest thing would have been not to speak up.
27:13Amber?
27:19How long have you known?
27:22I'm not sure.
27:25Does anyone else know?
27:29I'm not sure how best I can help.
27:32I just wanted to say that...
27:34With you being...
27:36I thought you'd understand.
27:41I'm hardly the best person to give advice.
27:46What did you do when you first...
27:53Nothing?
27:59You won't tell no one?
28:02No, of course not.
28:05I don't intend to punish you either, all right?
28:09Go on, get out of there.
28:10I don't know.
28:24Been an eventful day.
28:28You in the mood for a talk?
28:31Any choice?
28:36Matt, I can't imagine how you must be feeling.
28:41Really?
28:42It's not your private life being bandied around, is it?
28:46No.
28:48That doesn't mean I can't put myself in your shoes.
28:52And I would like to offer my help.
28:55Offer it as a friend.
28:59Any time.
29:13I don't know why you let me off, all right?
29:16I just did.
29:17Gay blokes always know what to wear.
29:20And the smell nice.
29:21Whoa, hold on.
29:22Alk needs to snog flokes to use deodorant.
29:30Here you go.
29:32Well, having the head on your side must be a plus.
29:36You think?
29:37If I let her down, what if I can't hack it?
29:41And without Colin, I'm not sure I'll want to stay here anyway.
29:44Oh, come on, Matt.
29:45You'll love your job.
29:46Yeah, it just might be easier somewhere new.
29:49And you think this situation won't happen again?
29:52You've just got to sort it out.
29:54Get me out of there doing that.
29:55It's my hurting mum.
29:57Eggs get broken, as my mum used to say.
30:01There'll be time to sort that later.
30:05I've got a free next bird.
30:06I'll be back by the attend, OK?
30:08Well, I'll cover for you if you're not.
30:11I completely forgot.
30:12Mum wants to be shung round the school.
30:15Hey, mum.
30:18You promised anonymity.
30:21Some of the kids only fessed up because of that.
30:22Don't worry.
30:24Michaela will not find out.
30:26Then I'd say we delivered.
30:30So, about your car, then?
30:33What about my car?
30:35Well, next meeting we mean to pass a motion banning cars from school property.
30:40Only if you were to lead the way, it would carry more weight.
30:44Voluntarily, like?
30:46I'm not slogging all the way in here on public transport.
30:52Look, what if I got a smaller car and parked it on the road as a compromise?
31:01Deal.
31:15And, er, this is my drum room.
31:17Ooh.
31:24It's tidier than I expected.
31:26I see what you mean about some of the children being a bit rough.
31:29No, I said challenging.
31:31Well, same difference.
31:32We do have the odd one.
31:34Oh, I don't doubt it.
31:35But I'll hand it to you, Matthew.
31:37You did the right thing coming here.
31:39A year here should stand you in very good stead.
31:42Did I say I ran into David Weaver the other day?
31:47He's the head of the prep in their mums.
31:49He was very impressed.
31:51He's terribly keen on staff bringing different experiences with them.
31:56You're talking like I'm after a job there.
31:58Oh, no, darling.
31:59Though there is a vacancy in September.
32:02Ooh.
32:03Sounds convenient.
32:06Why don't I take you for lunch?
32:08All right.
32:13I thought you might have made you a packed one.
32:15Something like häufig.
32:19Caterpillar is there.
32:20Caterpillar is there.
32:21Yes, I've got some cow's hooves there.
32:23Cows hooves.
32:23Well cooked and everything.
32:25I've also got some, oh, I'm not getting there yet.
32:28I've got some chicken feet here.
32:30Chicken feet.
32:31My god, I can see the lady's fighting for this already, but come on, not here girls, I've got a
32:35lot, okay?
32:37Come on, I've got clothes on me, but...
32:42Jasmine? Jasmine, it's Eddie!
33:06There you go.
33:09Oh, this is nice.
33:11She was pleasant-ish.
33:13Steph, yes, she's great.
33:15I thought you were fond.
33:17Not in that way, no.
33:19Oh!
33:20Oh, well, I can't pretend I'm unhappy.
33:24I hate to think of you throwing yourself away on someone unsuitable.
33:28No, there's nothing...
33:28Well, in a way, that's all the more reason to get you settled.
33:32At the prep.
33:33Well, why ever not?
33:35I won't pretend.
33:37Part of wanting you closer is selfish.
33:40It would be nice to know you were there in case anything happened.
33:43Mum, I really need to...
33:44And you do have to start thinking about settling down.
33:48I know your father always hoped that you'd move back home.
33:52No, Dad always encouraged me to go out and do things.
33:55Well, he would, wouldn't he?
33:57I mean, with him being away in the army such a lot, he could hardly turn round and tell you
34:01to stay home.
34:03But when he got ill, it was always understood you'd come home, take up the reins.
34:09Mum, the thing is...
34:10I know part of that was out of guilt.
34:13Guilt?
34:14It was silly.
34:16I told him so.
34:17And what did he feel guilty for?
34:18Well, the way you two pushed me out when you were little.
34:23I didn't push you out.
34:24No, I'm not saying you meant to.
34:27And it's daft to dwell on it.
34:29But what's a day like today?
34:33It's never intentional, Mum.
34:36I know, sweetheart.
34:37I know.
34:39And I'm the lucky one.
34:41That's what I have to keep telling myself.
34:44I missed out on you as a boy, but...
34:47Well, I've got the whole future to look forward to.
34:58We don't even have to wait for the governors.
35:00We hit the dad with proof of Michaela's bullying,
35:02and he'll have to drop the charges against you.
35:05I imagine so.
35:06And Michaela gets excluded, one way or another.
35:10Oh, so it's a bargain, is it?
35:12Do you know what I mean?
35:13It's a good thing, Jasmine.
35:15Michaela can't play the little innocent with this on the table.
35:18In other words, be grateful.
35:21Look, Eddie, I didn't ask for any of this.
35:22This isn't some game.
35:25It's my future.
35:26I don't understand you, Jasmine.
35:28Well, I asked for a reference, not this.
35:31I'm trying to save your career.
35:32Well, I don't want it saved.
35:34Look, I'm not coming back.
35:36This decision wasn't some knee-jerk thing.
35:38And all this has made me think about my life and who I am.
35:43And what I should be doing.
35:45And what I shouldn't.
36:06I don't have much chance of getting him back, do I?
36:10Oh, well.
36:12Let's all give up that easy, then.
36:14No, you don't get it.
36:17There's a lot of history.
36:21Now, Mum and I, we never got on, but...
36:25The minute I tell her, it'll be like I'm slamming the door on everything that she wants.
36:30So instead, you slam it on the one person you want?
36:35I really love him, Steph.
36:38Really?
36:40Then more fool you.
36:43Cos if this little heart of mine was hit a pattering over any fella,
36:48I wouldn't give him up.
36:50History or no history.
37:05Look, Eddie, I reckon I got off late.
37:07I get to resign.
37:09Could be a lot worse.
37:10Next time, who knows?
37:12It won't be a next time.
37:13What other job is there where you're expected to be a sitting target?
37:18Would they put you through all this?
37:20Well, you're not alone.
37:21That's what it felt like.
37:24Tom, Rachel.
37:26You know, I could see it in their eyes.
37:28The slightest doubt.
37:30Cos that's what untried teachers do.
37:32They snap.
37:33I believed you.
37:35It's not enough.
37:37And I believe in you as a teacher.
37:40Then, Eddie, you're wasting your time.
37:42No, I'm not.
37:43Kids need teachers like us.
37:45People who understand them, who empathise with them.
37:48We're from the same place.
37:51That's important.
37:53And what if it's something I don't want anymore?
37:56Look.
37:58The Governor's meeting's at 5.30.
38:03If you're not there, I'll know.
38:13I thought you weren't coming.
38:14Contractors meeting.
38:15Sorry.
38:17Still, I hope I'm worth the wait.
38:27It's all there.
38:29A man of my word.
38:34I'm grateful.
38:36Any other time, and I'd offer you a drink, but I've got a Governor's meeting.
38:38No, that's okay.
38:40I'll settle for the chance to take you out for dinner again.
38:42I thought that new Thai place might be worth exploring.
38:45Shall I take that as a yes?
38:47I can't.
38:48Rachel, it's a meal.
38:50Two consenting adults sharing a bit of food.
38:52If it goes any further, then...
38:53That won't happen.
38:55Apart from anything else, I want to...
38:56I want to start with a clean slate.
38:59Right.
39:00You got what you want, and that's it.
39:02Let's leave it at that, please.
39:07Oh, I'm sorry.
39:09I didn't realise you got company.
39:11No, you're fine.
39:12Rachel and I are just about done, I think.
39:15For your time.
39:16I think we're straight.
39:23What did Nob the Builder want?
39:26Well, it was more than just delivering something.
39:28As you ask, a date.
39:31And I said no.
39:32Happy?
39:33I can't be happy if you let me address the governors.
39:35I thought we agreed to be impartial.
39:38I want to present some evidence.
39:46OK, we're looking for the lead instrument.
39:48I'll give you an extra mark for a composer.
39:53OK.
39:54What have we got?
39:55Fulton?
39:57Dom knows.
39:58Oh, what don't?
39:59You just wrote it down.
40:01Why he's gribbling it out for?
40:02Because it's wrong.
40:03Well, you don't know unless you say.
40:05How come you're not answering anything?
40:07Sir, how come he's not answering anything?
40:09You've done something to him?
40:10Of course he never.
40:11Then say it.
40:12That's enough.
40:13Come on.
40:13Say it.
40:14Say it.
40:15Say it.
40:16Say it.
40:17Say it.
40:18Say it.
40:18Say it.
40:19Right, shut up!
40:21Look, Kayla, Paul, stand up.
40:22What?
40:23Stand up!
40:27You've obviously got something to say, and I assume it's to do with the incredible revelation
40:31that I'm gay.
40:33So let's hear your bigoted stupidity, shall we?
40:36It weren't to do with you.
40:38It's more about Dom, sir.
40:39How come you let him off?
40:43I let him off because it was blatantly obvious he didn't spray the graffiti.
40:47Sure it wasn't favouritism?
40:48Because you fancy the pants off him?
40:49Did you try it on, sir?
40:51Is that why you let Dom off?
40:52I beg your pardon?
40:54You never.
40:55Did he?
40:56You can have him for that.
40:57Get the police on him.
41:00Sit down, Michaela.
41:01We don't have to put up with nothing.
41:03He tells on you, and you'll be out.
41:06Just like Koreshi.
41:08Did he touch you, Dom?
41:09Of course he didn't.
41:10But he wanted to.
41:11It's just as bad.
41:13Still makes him a perv.
41:15You are seriously out of order.
41:17Don't think you can get away with it, because we'll say we saw you.
41:20And you've been lying.
41:21He let me off because I saw him I was gay all right.
41:24Cheeky-o.
41:25Are you saying you're queer, G?
41:27You get changed next to me.
41:29No, look.
41:29He's lying.
41:30He said it to get out of punishment.
41:32No, sir.
41:32Don't do that.
41:33It wasn't a lie.
41:35I don't know what I am.
41:36No, I don't like that.
41:38Stuff, yo.
41:41Calm down.
41:43Shut up!
41:46Before you start, ask yourself this.
41:48How big were his mates that were ready to see him excluded for something that they did?
41:53Or Michaela, who just lies through her teeth?
41:56I can have you for that.
41:57You heard.
42:03Sit down.
42:24You okay?
42:30That was really brave what you just did.
42:32Don't think I could have done it.
42:35Who cares what they think?
42:38If they don't like it, they're not mates.
42:40Mates are important, aren't they?
42:42Not the wrong ones.
42:45Why should I have to make out that I'm something I'm not?
42:50What did you mean when you said about not knowing who you are?
42:57I don't know.
42:59Girls, they're just...
43:01They're in your face.
43:03Too sure of themselves.
43:06It's just easy with mates.
43:11But does that mean that you fancy other boys or not?
43:19Dom, have you ever had sexual feelings for another boy?
43:27No, but I haven't for girls neither.
43:30I wish you'd told me this earlier.
43:33Why?
43:34Because this, this is...
43:37a little part of the confusion of being your age.
43:42You've got to give yourself time.
43:47You're right about one thing, though.
43:50Lying about it isn't the way to go, is it?
43:52No.
43:57Well, come in when you're ready, yeah.
44:11Colts, we need to talk.
44:13So what's the payoff?
44:14Because me, the Granger, would not do your dirty work for nothing.
44:17Maybe I'm persuaded there are more urgent things than solar panels.
44:21Well, how you got it, it's not going to be enough.
44:23Because unless the Governor's believed Jasmine's a decent teacher,
44:26there's nothing more to pay for her.
44:27Do you think she's going to turn up?
44:32Would you be stupid not to give Lawson a chance?
44:34He never said he wouldn't.
44:36I just think he might need reminding.
45:03There we go.
45:04Crack open the custard creams.
45:07I thought you were the one who was confident of a result.
45:23Dr. Hemp, Kayla.
45:33Mrs. Koresha was aware of the time?
45:36Yes, we checked.
45:37In which case, it's unfortunate she hasn't elected to appear.
45:41It does tend to suggest she's less than certain of her own defence.
45:44Actually, before we kick off, I'd like to show you this report.
45:47Is it pertinent?
45:48I think you should be the judges of that.
45:52This is drawn up by the school council.
45:55It lists over 40 incidents of bullying perpetrated by Michaela.
46:00You what?
46:01Let's have a look at some, shall we?
46:05First day back, Michaela White held a year eight boy's head
46:08in a full sink of water until he nearly passed out.
46:12It's making it up, Dad.
46:14Yeah, they're just sticking up for each other.
46:16So you don't remember that incident?
46:18Well, let's try this, and this had seven different witnesses.
46:25Michaela and her gang made a year nine boy eat grass and moo.
46:29Shall I carry on?
46:31Mr. White, that does cast a different light on matters.
46:35Michaela is a thug and a bully.
46:37Are you?
46:40No, Dad.
46:42Look, it was Sasha. I was just there.
46:46Well, it doesn't matter anyway.
46:48Koreshi hit me.
46:49I had a bruise out there.
46:52There's no getting round that.
46:54Michaela has a point.
46:55Especially since Miss Koreshi isn't here to dispute these claims.
47:14Hey.
47:16Thanks for coming.
47:17I, erm, thought that I'd set us all down or something.
47:21So you've not said?
47:22Well, no, I was waiting for you.
47:24Then don't.
47:25What?
47:26Matt, I don't want you to.
47:28I didn't know we were expecting.
47:30I'm not stopping.
47:32I'm Colin.
47:33Matt's squash partner.
47:34Hello.
47:36So, will you have a look at this engine for us or what?
47:46Hey.
47:47Why'd you do that?
47:48Because I won't let you dump this on me.
47:50Do what?
47:51The guilt.
47:53Do this for me. How's that supposed to make me feel?
47:55That I love you?
47:57And the first time something goes wrong.
48:00Matt, you can fling this back at me anytime you like.
48:02The wonderful sacrifice you've made.
48:05Even if she accepts us, that's not something I want round my neck.
48:09Well, then I can't win either way, can I?
48:15I'll do this without you.
48:33Miss?
48:34Look, the idea's to intimidate me.
48:36It's not.
48:38Miss, I did it.
48:39I hit Michaela.
48:41She told me to.
48:46Well, telling me isn't good enough.
48:48You can tell her I said if you want.
48:56I'm sorry, but this is daft. Just because Jasmine isn't here, it doesn't mean-
49:01You said yourself.
49:08I'm sorry I'm late.
49:10Miss Qureshi.
49:12Look, what I've got to say won't take long.
49:15I didn't batter Michaela.
49:17Says who?
49:19Says your mates.
49:20They just fessed up.
49:22Sasha hit you.
49:26So, there's no case to answer.
49:29Oh, hold up Eddie.
49:30I'm not finished.
49:32Jasmine, if Sasha and Angie are withdrawing the witness statements, you leave here without
49:35a blemish.
49:36Well, this ain't finished.
49:38Oh, I don't doubt it.
49:40So, if you fancy taking me, then go ahead.
49:44Or, you could always try learning from me.
49:47Someone the same as you.
49:49Someone who came out the other side.
49:52So please, don't go reinstating me because you think I've learnt my lesson.
49:56It's me as I am.
49:58Or this.
50:01My resignation.
50:07Oh, did you get it fixed?
50:09What fixed?
50:10Well, the engine, of course.
50:11No, right.
50:12That's not why Colin came round.
50:13I've been looking for a corkscrew.
50:15Right, I'll get it.
50:16I'll get it.
50:18I know we're remembering your father, but-
50:21There were some photos there.
50:23Well, I haven't seen them.
50:25I probably won't stay up late.
50:29It needs to get out of the habit as you get old.
50:38You know, don't you?
50:40I don't know what you mean.
50:42Mum, stop lying.
50:43I won't be accused of lying.
50:44Stop it!
50:46You know I'm gay, don't you?
50:54Yeah, it was almost as if she'd been coached.
50:56Not coached.
50:57Reminded.
50:58Why we do this.
51:00Well, it's not for respect, is it?
51:02Listen, I've got to take the governors out for a drink.
51:04Can I leave you to lock up?
51:05Yeah, of course.
51:06Okay, nighty-night.
51:07Night.
51:12I can't believe you'd find out and then let me spend the whole day lying.
51:15Matt, take it easy.
51:15Yeah, but how could you?
51:16Well, why shouldn't I?
51:17I've been doing it long enough.
51:24You knew before?
51:27How long?
51:30How long?!
51:31Oh, do you think I was blind?
51:32The way you were.
51:33Or the way you weren't.
51:36You could easily have changed if you hadn't wanted to put your dad and me through this.
51:43Daniel.
51:44Oh, he was all for sitting you down and having it out, but I said not under my roof.
51:49You stopped him.
51:52Why?
51:52Why?
51:53Oh, do you think I haven't wanted to know why?
51:56What have I done to have you inflict this on me?
52:01We gave you so much.
52:03All that time your dad spent with you and this is how you repay us.
52:08It's not exactly gratitude.
52:14You could have helped me.
52:19Mum.
52:22This is me, okay?
52:25I won't change that.
52:27Well, then I want to go.
52:50I won't change that.
52:51You have no choice.
52:58I'll praise you.
53:03What can you do?
53:05I'll save you now.
53:06I'll be back in the ingest waits.
53:06I'll save you.
53:06I'll save you now and everything's new.
53:07You have to watch and learn the other.
53:07Yo!
53:53Lumped.
54:07Lumped.
54:08Lumped.
54:14Lumped.
54:16Lumped.
54:28Lumped.
54:35Lumped.
54:39Lumped.
54:43Lumped.
54:55Lumped.
54:56What have you done outside your door?
54:59I don't know.
55:01I would have liked to have found out.
55:05Lumped.
55:06So?
55:07What do you want to do now?
55:11Well, I don't want to lose you, I know that.
55:15You're all I want.
55:17And have ever wanted.
55:25Marry me.
55:29Serious.
55:38Well, how do I get a taxi here quicker?
55:40No.
55:43I've been waiting ages.
55:51I've been waiting.
55:52My brother.
55:59I can't.
56:02I can't.
56:03I can't.
56:06I can't.
56:08I can't.
56:09I can't.
56:11I can't wait for you.
56:12But what I hang at the car?
56:13I can't wait for you.
56:14Yeah.
56:17I can't wait for you.
