00:25Hello?
00:26Breakfast!
00:38No way, it's too far.
00:40It's London, not the moon.
00:42And this demo's important.
00:44Leon says it's got a real chance of making people think about the environment.
00:47Leon this, Leon that, that's all I've heard all weekend.
00:49Haven't even met him.
00:50Neither has she.
00:52You're on thin ice, I know.
00:53Why?
00:54Because you're way too smart to give blue rinses all your life.
00:57That's debatable.
00:58Well, when I've got my own Saturday job.
01:00A bit of experience.
01:03No hairdressing, no London.
01:04You're unreal.
01:06Look, I think it's great that you've got a hobby and an interest in the environment.
01:09A hobby?
01:10This is about where we live, the air we breathe.
01:13Oh, so you won't want to lift to school in the motor car?
01:16No thanks.
01:17I'll cycle.
01:19And I'm going to London.
01:21You can't stop me.
01:32All right, Paul.
01:34What are you reading?
01:35It's a story, Macbeth.
01:36She gives a head start.
01:38Mr Wildman's getting us to read it, but it's a lot of gobbledygook.
01:41Well, that's a good idea.
01:42I should have had one of these in my day.
01:45You could have borrowed mine if you want.
01:47You want?
01:47Maybe I will afterwards.
01:48I can't believe I got through 40-odd years without knowing me Othello from me Hamlet here.
01:51I'll get thee to registration.
01:54Come on, you lot.
01:56Five minutes to registration.
01:58Get a shift on.
02:16What's up?
02:18Tom's been a pig, that's all.
02:20He doesn't want me.
02:21Sorry, he's not letting me go on the deforestation demo next week.
02:25Well, it means we could do something.
02:27I'm going.
02:28I don't think I'm giving up in what I believe just because Tom says so.
02:31Why is this demo so important?
02:34Leon says that deforestation is like smoking.
02:37The damage is hidden.
02:38He says we should be doing anything and everything we can to increase awareness.
02:41Well, we can hardly bring the rainforest to Rochdale.
02:44Won't be so sure.
02:47Come on.
03:10Come on, I've shifted the car to here.
03:12We're not going anywhere.
03:14We've got a job to do, will ya?
03:15I don't think you have.
03:17Come again?
03:18You're not vandalising our heritage and jeopardising our future.
03:21Listen.
03:22Sonny.
03:23You are really starting to get on my...
03:24Not a son, Neanderthal.
03:25If I was, I'd be flipping burgers.
03:27Don't you get it?
03:28By killing these trees, you're killing the planet.
03:31Think about it.
03:32Oh, now you put it like that, I know where you're coming from.
03:36What have I been doing all these years?
03:38Lick, give me a hand.
03:40We've got a couple of tree huggers.
03:41Lay one finger on us and you'll be sharing a jail cell with someone even uglier than you.
03:46Maybe.
03:47We don't have to lay a finger on ya.
03:50Sonny.
03:52Sonny.
03:54Don't move.
03:55You won't do anything you can't.
03:56Sonny.
03:59Sonny.
03:59Sonny.
04:02Sonny.
04:03Sonny.
04:04Sonny.
04:04Sonny.
04:08Sonny.
04:12Sonny.
04:15Sonny.
04:15Sonny.
04:16Sonny.
04:16I'll get the headteacher.
04:17He can sort them.
04:21We can get back up too.
04:29Sonny.
04:30Sonny.
04:34Sonny.
04:34Sonny.
04:36Sonny.
04:36Hey, watch the six pack.
04:39Sonny.
04:39I should have let Mika go on a demo in London.
04:43Some save the trees march.
04:45Just got involved with this guy over the internet.
04:47He sounds like a right-knit-your-own-yoghurt type.
04:51Erm, if she's going with people that you don't know, I'd say no.
04:56And I think you're right to be concerned, but...
05:00But what?
05:01Well, she's nearly 18.
05:03And passionate about her beliefs.
05:08So I should let her go?
05:10Well, that's your decision.
05:13All I'm saying is that, is that whether you think her views are immature,
05:17they're just plain daft.
05:19You need to respect them.
05:38Have you told anybody I'm leaving?
05:40No, not yet.
05:41I'm going to put in a final newsletter to parents.
05:45I'm just writing out the new deputy's job spec.
05:48It's given me a chance to really think about the role.
05:51I want to expand the senior management team next year.
05:55So they're not parachuting anyone in, then?
05:59No.
05:59No, just a straightforward replacement.
06:02With a new staff restructuring next year, in some ways,
06:04you going now makes it a relatively easy transition.
06:08Well, fingers crossed, we'll get a good field of candidates.
06:12Any internal candidates, you think?
06:15No.
06:17No, I want new blood.
06:18You know, fresh ideas.
06:19Someone with real enthusiasm and passion.
06:23Hi.
06:24Tom Clarkson's done a good job with Pastoral.
06:27OK.
06:29Right, we'll send someone down in a minute.
06:31Great.
06:33Looks like we've run into our first little snag with the building work.
06:36Apparently we have a little protest on our hands.
06:39Sounds like one for you, Eddie.
06:43Just for a change.
06:45Are you looking forward to seeing Dante in action?
06:47I'm not bothered.
06:49I think I prefer more normal subjects.
06:51All this work-related learning stuff, just doing my head in.
06:55But you love the hairdressing, what's up with you?
06:57Nothing.
06:58I'm just so bored with the whole merits for self-promotion thing.
07:03Not that Celine's got a problem with it.
07:04It's just showing off.
07:06I just don't really want to see them lot all.
07:08Oh, babes, you're amazing.
07:10I don't want to feel sick.
07:11Yeah, right.
07:12Or would you just not like seeing Dante doing well for himself?
07:15I'd love to see Dante do well for himself.
07:18I can't believe you said that, Maxine.
07:21All right.
07:24What are you lot doing?
07:25Get back to registration!
07:30How did I know it was gonna be you two?
07:34Right.
07:35We'll talk about this inside.
07:36No chance.
07:38We're staying put.
07:39It wasn't a request.
07:42Miss Granger, I seriously suggest that you consider your option-
07:46We are not letting this lot rip up in five minutes what it's taken nature a hundred years to create.
07:50And these trees are gonna make a difference?
07:53Absolutely.
07:54I know you're a math teacher, sir, but I'm sure even you've heard of photosynthesis.
07:58Mika, I would love to stand here and discuss the ins and outs of biodiversity.
08:03But this building guarantees a future for pupils who don't have your academic prowess.
08:07That's a bit patronizing.
08:09Well, you've got an NVQ in that already, Brett.
08:14What about replanting?
08:15We'll replace all the ones we take out two for one.
08:18Trees take ages to grow.
08:20What about now? Our green space, our environment?
08:23You know, this could be considered a criminal act.
08:26Civil disobedience, Mr Lawson.
08:28There's an honorable tradition of it in this country.
08:30Do you know how pathetic that sounds?
08:32What's going on, Mika?
08:34You lot! Do one!
08:36We're joining the protest, sir.
08:38This is an issue the school magazine can't afford to ignore, sir.
08:41And we've got a chance to be part of the story.
08:43Don't even think about it.
08:45Yet.
08:46Now!
08:59Eddie!
09:01It's our Mika, innit?
09:03They stood right in front of a three-ton JCB ton.
09:05They could have been killed.
09:06What's going on in their heads?
09:07Look, I'll have a word. They're just plain silly beggars.
09:10I'll get them in. There's no need to let Rachel know.
09:12She already knows, I'm afraid, and she's not happy.
09:14You'd better come with me.
09:15But it says in the window.
09:17Corfu, out of Manchester, 14 nights, 216 quid.
09:21Well, I've got a similar deal in Portugal, and that's 199.
09:27Me and the girls are going together.
09:28Sun, sand. You get the picture.
09:32OK.
09:34What about two weeks in a beefer, and that's for sharing?
09:39Do you think that's really Dante or a clone?
09:41Yeah.
09:42Sounds like a proper travel agent.
09:44It's not going to be dynamical for three of us to share.
09:45Anyone can see that.
09:47Just look at your computer screen and see what else you can find.
09:50Right, well, perhaps, erm, maybe you could bring someone else with you.
09:54Well, what are you doing for the next two weeks?
09:57I'm with somebody, sorry.
09:59Your loss.
10:00She must be fit.
10:02Oh, she is.
10:04Really fit.
10:05Er, we, erm, we get the picture.
10:07That was brilliant, Dante.
10:09You stayed calm and you didn't get angry with her.
10:11Well, the boss says it only fears the situation miss.
10:14So, soak it up his best and just keep smiling.
10:16She's his girlfriend.
10:18It's hardly a test.
10:20OK, Dante, Celine, how do you fancy round two?
10:28Against me.
10:29And where would you like to go, Seth?
10:33We need to nip this in the bud.
10:35No, no, no, no.
10:36I need to.
10:37Aren't you supposed to be teaching?
10:39Tom and I can deal with this.
10:39No, I'm not teaching at the moment.
10:43You should be trying to find yourself another job,
10:44not worrying about this place.
10:46Right.
10:49Well, I bet you, in five minutes,
10:51Horgley's on that phone,
10:52wondering why his 120 quid a day workers
10:54are sitting round on their backsides,
10:56drinking tea and playing rummy.
11:03Er, Eddie's leaving.
11:04Yeah, yeah, he, erm,
11:06he resigned last week.
11:10Right, er, well, I think we should let them stew for a bit
11:13before we speak to them.
11:14With a bit of luck, they might get bored and call it a day.
11:16Oh, and we also need to make sure that no more kids get involved.
11:19And then it's over to you, Tom.
11:20What do you mean?
11:22Well, I don't know.
11:22With your good parenting skills,
11:23you should be able to talk meek around,
11:25get things back to normal.
11:27Right.
11:27Yeah.
11:31That's for flights.
11:32Er, three nights in Reykjavik
11:34and a trip to the Hot Springs.
11:36Hey, and if you pay for it now, sir,
11:38we'll give you the 5% online discount.
11:41Er, yeah, we're gonna have to put a hold on that.
11:43The customer wants to check with his party first.
11:45I'll tell you what.
11:46I'll go for it.
11:48We need both names.
11:49You and a friend.
11:51Yep, it's Colin.
11:53Colin Scott.
11:54Credit card.
11:57He's brilliant.
11:58He could sell burgers to your sister.
12:01Three, three, four, eight.
12:03The okay clock.
12:05I'm fine.
12:06Eight, seven.
12:07Eh, a bit twice the price tomorrow, that.
12:09Three, two, one, seven.
12:09I knew it wouldn't be one very rich man.
12:19I don't think she's feeling well, sir.
12:21Just see if she needs anything.
12:26And have you got insurance for that, sir?
12:33Hey, what's wrong?
12:35I thought I was dealing with it, but...
12:37I can't.
12:39You want him there.
12:41Your first thing you gotta do,
12:43don't let Darty see it's bothering you.
12:45What, is it that obvious?
12:46Duh!
12:47I miss him.
12:49I really miss him.
12:51It's too hard watching them.
12:54They've all been going out a few weeks.
12:56Try a couple of months.
12:58And they're so into one another.
13:02I should go Darty.
13:03Don't start chasing him!
13:05So what do I do?
13:06Darty hasn't seen you loved up yet,
13:08go out with somebody else.
13:09Yeah, but like who?
13:10That dick run from Colin's office,
13:11he was up for it.
13:13He's texted me.
13:14Don't text him back.
13:16What have you got to lose?
13:19Do it.
13:23I bet any money that don't isn't over yet.
13:25You can't be, you were together too long.
13:49I can't believe I just did that.
13:55I thought Janice was coming back to school today.
13:58Maybe she needed a bit more time.
14:00It's ridiculous.
14:01It could have been any one of us.
14:02He had all our photos.
14:03No, we'd have seen through him.
14:04He knew that.
14:06He went after Janice because she's the one who wouldn't.
14:08That's what Steph said.
14:10She's right.
14:11Only a muppet like me could have fallen in love with that creep.
14:19I know.
14:20I know we look a mess.
14:22You heard all of that?
14:25You can hear everything if you're in there long enough.
14:30What's this about a tree protest?
14:33Mika's on this green kick thing.
14:37Come on.
14:38Let's go check it out.
14:41I'm not sure.
14:43Oh, it'll be a laugh.
14:45Come on.
14:47Come on, Janice.
14:52Inside! Now!
14:54Come on, kids.
14:56The playing fields are out of bounds.
14:58Nobody's allowed beyond this point.
14:59Is that because of the tree protest, ma'er?
15:01No, because we don't want you endangering yourselves.
15:03Oh, do you just not want us to hear what they've got to say?
15:06Yeah.
15:06You've got nothing against free speech, Chloe.
15:08That's why you've got the school council.
15:10I don't know about you, but I'm getting a little bit sick of Mika's free speech right now.
15:15Why don't we just drag them in kicking and screaming?
15:17I am, Tom. You've got a lot to learn about teenage girls if you think that laying down the law
15:21is going to make them do what you want them to do.
15:23It never worked with me and it won't work with Mika.
15:25Come on, kids. Let's get inside. That's enough.
15:28Come on. Move off.
15:29Come on.
15:35Come on.
15:35Come on.
15:35Stay close.
15:36Where?
15:40I'm in my uniform.
15:42Looks like you're bald, Chloe.
15:43Come on.
15:57I know what I'd do if Mika was my daughter.
16:00Oh.
16:02Might be a good day to bury bad news.
16:07Hoardley's donation.
16:09He's bounced a cheque on us.
16:10Well, these things happen.
16:11Do they?
16:12Do you want me to tell Rachel?
16:14No, I'll deal with it.
16:15Wonder how Mason's going to get herself out of this little jam.
16:19She can't keep them in all day.
16:21With a bit of luck, Aspen Orwell will get the whole school behind him and it's free periods for all.
16:27You are the one thing I'm not going to miss about this place.
16:31Moving on.
16:32Eddie?
16:33You leaving?
16:35I've handed him a resignation, yeah.
16:37Been offered a headship?
16:39No.
16:39Well, what the heck are you going for?
16:42Let's just say there are irreconcilable differences between me and the way this school is run.
16:46What's that supposed to mean?
16:48It means he's had a falling out with Her Highness the Superhead.
16:51Has Rachel asked you to go?
16:52No.
16:52It was my decision.
16:55Made your day, has it?
16:56Well, it was always going to end in tears.
16:58But, to be honest, I thought you'd last another term or two.
17:06How much did it cost you?
17:08Erm, nothing.
17:09It's a lease car.
17:11I only drive it to look cool and attract women.
17:13It worked for me.
17:15It wasn't really working for me.
17:17So, erm, shall I pick you up at lunchtime?
17:19Where are we going?
17:21Up to you.
17:21I was just mad up to get your texts, really.
17:29Right then.
17:31See you later.
17:32See you later.
17:35Oh, she loves him.
17:37She wants to kiss him.
17:40She wants to marry him.
17:41I'm only doing it to make him jealous.
17:43Yeah, right.
17:44I'm a liar.
17:44It's true.
17:46Whatever.
17:49Where is everybody?
17:54So, which one are you lots and Mika?
17:57Why do you want to know?
17:58Leon!
17:59Said I'd help out, didn't I?
18:02This is your internet eco guy.
18:04And you are?
18:05This is...
18:06Brett.
18:06Mika and I have been coordinating the protest.
18:09Really?
18:11You look like you couldn't run a bath, mate.
18:13There's more on their way.
18:15Right.
18:16We've got a lot of work to do.
18:21Yeah.
18:21Approach from the rear.
18:23Silly sods are only watching the school.
18:25I'll meet you there.
18:29Well, getting them in was the easy part.
18:31How are you going to stop the protest?
18:33I'm not.
18:34You are.
18:35Your powers of persuasion coupled with the threat of 45 days exclusion should bring them to the census.
18:39What happened to not laying down the law?
18:41Tom, my role is head and your role is a dad of holes apart.
18:45Mika and Brett are disrupting the whole school.
18:47And they're pulling other kids into it.
18:49I'll deal with it.
18:51Tom.
18:52I want those builders digging holes in 20 minutes.
18:59Hey.
19:00You okay?
19:02Anything I can do?
19:02No.
19:03I've got it covered.
19:04I'll soon blow over.
19:05And I'll try and respect Mika's views.
19:17You've got to stop this.
19:19Oh.
19:19Okay then.
19:20Since you asked so nicely.
19:23Miss Mason has asked me to tell you that unless you call a halt to this, you'll be excluded.
19:28You'll be out.
19:30Till the end of the year.
19:31You'll miss your exams.
19:32Everything.
19:33My parents are going to kill me.
19:35She doesn't scare me.
19:37Come on Mika.
19:38Think about it.
19:40I know you're passionate.
19:41But this could affect your future.
19:43What would your mum say?
19:44Don't start with all that.
19:45What would your mother say stuff?
19:49Okay.
19:50Look.
19:51You can go to London.
19:53I'll even give you the train fare myself.
19:55Embarrassing you, am I?
19:56Look.
19:57We are not giving up until an agreement is made to save these trees.
20:01You will be excluded.
20:03That's no exams.
20:04No qualifications.
20:05No university.
20:06Nothing.
20:06For a few trees.
20:08Thanks for taking my views seriously.
20:11You just don't get it, do you?
20:13Mika.
20:14This is something I need to do.
20:15Something I really care about.
20:17And if you can't see that then...
20:18Mika.
20:19Just get lost Tom.
20:30Tax.
20:31Bank interest.
20:33Mortgage rates.
20:35All percentages.
20:37VAT.
20:3817 and a half percent on everything you buy.
20:41Why is that?
20:42That is a very good question.
20:44But at least it's easy to work out.
20:4610% is.
20:47Whereas 17 and a half, isn't it?
20:49No.
20:50If you know 10%, you can work out 17 and a half percent.
20:53No calculator required.
20:55What's the VAT on 242 quid?
21:0242 pound 35.
21:06Wicked.
21:07Like I said, 10% is easy.
21:09What's half of 10?
21:115%.
21:12And half of that is?
21:14Bolton.
21:20Bolton!
21:22Sorry, sir.
21:242 and a half percent.
21:25So 10% plus 5% plus 2 and a half percent equals 17 and a half percent.
21:31Late night, was it Bolton?
21:33No, sir.
21:35Just come to have that little chat with Paul.
21:37I thought we were leaving that to the heads of the department meeting.
21:40It's an executive decision, sir.
21:42Hmm.
21:44Paul.
21:45Can we have a word, please, mate?
21:49Calm down, everyone.
21:53Nothing to worry about, mate.
21:57VAT on 743 quid.
22:00No calculators.
22:01Back in a minute.
22:02Bolton!
22:03So what would you say to rejoining the main school curriculum?
22:07What? Back in normal class?
22:08Oh, you know, based on the strong progress you've made this term, we think you're ready.
22:12So I get to sit the GCSEs?
22:14GCSEs and everything that comes with them.
22:16Yeah.
22:19Eddie.
22:21You have done a really good job of that class.
22:25Look, I know it's a lot to ask, but, um...
22:28When the new deputy head arrives, would you talk them through what you've done here?
22:32You know, your scheme of work, your lesson plans, that sort of thing.
22:35It's just that I hate to see your hard work go to waste.
22:38Yeah.
22:39Sure.
22:40Great.
22:44Wake up, Bolton!
22:45They won't come. I don't know what they're playing at.
23:13I'm going to follow up.
23:16They'll now go look.
23:17They will never come.
23:17I love that.
23:18It's the last time that I was under control.
23:20I could be bothered.
23:21It's difficult for the next time.
23:31They've chained themselves to the trees.
23:33Hey, come on, chop-chop, they haven't got all day, you know.
23:44So how long have you been seeing Mr. Sport's car?
23:47I want all details and pin numbers.
23:50He's picking her up at lunchtime.
23:52It's early days.
23:54And he's loaded.
23:56Hey, he's taking her to lunch at that dead posh restaurant on Merchant Street.
24:00Can we just drop it?
24:08Isn't this sort of defeating the object?
24:11We're defending the tree, so no-one else can get up there.
24:16You have to get up pretty early in the morning to catch you out, Mr. Clarkson.
24:19I hate to point this out, Brett, but you're not actually up there yourself yet, are you?
24:24I've got that covered, Tar.
24:26Who's Swampy?
24:27Yeah, funny, not heard that before.
24:30They call me Leon.
24:31That's Spoons Flapper.
24:34Well, Miss Mason's definitely going to call the police now.
24:38But it's nice to put a face to the name.
24:40You do all your brainwashing.
24:41Oh, I'm sorry.
24:42Recruiting online, do you?
24:44She's very dedicated to the cause.
24:46Yes, she was to her schoolwork.
24:48And what do you do, Leon, when you're not up trees?
24:52Well, normally I'm on the ground.
24:54Are you here for a reason, Tom?
24:56Miss Mason called a school council meeting.
24:58She wants you and Brett to attend.
24:59Oh, and she thought we'd come running, did she?
25:02Mika, it'd be a good place to get our point across.
25:05No, we leave and they've won.
25:08Well, I'll go, you stay.
25:09No, Brett, we need to stick together.
25:12Mika, this is serious.
25:14When Miss Mason finds out that this lot are on the school premises, she's going to go ape.
25:18The police will be here in minutes.
25:19Why don't you let Brett talk to her?
25:22Fine, do what you want.
25:24Don't.
25:24Don't do me any favours.
25:26No, it'll be a good chance to negotiate and we can sit down and talk-
25:29Alicia, Danielle, do you want to go?
25:31Yeah, of course.
25:32We'll go.
25:35Right.
25:37Here's a list of our demands.
25:47I don't know, she just asked me to sit in.
25:49Well, I started the school council, it's my responsibility.
25:52Well, maybe she's got plans for when you leave.
25:55Do you think you'll stay and teach you?
25:57What?
25:58Well, it's just that they're recruiting for that new supermarket.
26:04Oh, sir, where are you going?
26:05I just heard I said you're leaving.
26:07Do you not like it here, sir?
26:08What?
26:09What?
26:09What?
26:11Isn't it?
26:12Look, I haven't made a decision yet, all right?
26:17Well, that's it.
26:18I'm calling the police.
26:19That's what this Leon character wants.
26:21What?
26:22Well, publicity.
26:23His face in the paper.
26:24It's nothing.
26:24It's just him and two of his mates.
26:26Tom, they're on school premises.
26:28The police will shift them in minutes.
26:29Yeah, well, they won't.
26:30They've put up a barbed wire barricade.
26:32And they're going to climb the tree.
26:36Look, I'm pretty sure that Brett wants to give it up.
26:38If we let him work on Mika, then they'll move on.
26:42Then I will give it until the end of lunchtime.
26:53So, is this everything?
26:54Yeah.
26:56Light bulbs, paper cups for the coolers, energy efficient heating, uniform...
27:01Uniforms?
27:02We want ethically made uniforms.
27:03Mika says the kids that make our uniforms in third world sweatshops don't get to go to school.
27:07Is this a wind-up?
27:09Sir, this is a fair trade stroke eco-protest.
27:14Oh, Mr. Aspinall, down from the trees I see.
27:16Yes, miss.
27:18Temporarily.
27:19I'm afraid that list of demands is now superfluous.
27:32Ah, Davina, I need a favour.
27:34Will you ask Grant this government year nines?
27:36I need to be in this council meeting to sort this business out with Mika.
27:39Yeah, sure.
27:39Cheers.
27:40She looks still off a tree, is she?
27:42Look, it'd be funny if it wasn't so serious.
27:44She could get excluded over this.
27:47Look, Tom, I'm sorry.
27:49I know the girls have been through a lot, but...
27:51Well, I remember my dad dragging me out of a school disco once.
27:54And at the time, I hated him for it.
27:56But it was the right thing to do.
27:58You know, a good telling off never did me any harm.
28:02Thanks for the advice.
28:04I'm only trying to help.
28:05This is a crucial time for Chloe and Mika. If I get this wrong...
28:08I think they've got you wrapped around their little fingers.
28:11You just need to stand up to them.
28:15Well, you are full of great advice today.
28:22Well, it's your call.
28:23And it's a lot of money.
28:26And how much is the delay costing?
28:27I don't know, but it's probably more than this.
28:29A conservation on the cheeky devils.
28:32Well, now they've got these eco-warriors winding them up.
28:36Look, you know, when you were a kid and you started to go out on dates,
28:40the only thing the boys were interested in
28:42was getting to fourth base as quickly as possible, yeah?
28:44Oh, I hate to think why this is leading, but yeah.
28:46So, to give them something to remember the night by,
28:48and to keep them interested, you let them get to first base.
28:52Okay, so hopefully they forget about fourth.
28:54Exactly.
28:55Give them a bit of top, get to keep your knickers on.
28:58Oh, so I'm told.
28:59Shall we give it a go?
29:05I need a word.
29:06Two minutes, yeah?
29:08What's going on?
29:09I'm still the deputy, I've got a contract.
29:11You're handing out all my responsibilities.
29:13When you sign that piece of paper, you wash your hands of this place.
29:16I have to think about the future.
29:17Steph A, Doc.
29:18Steph has worked here for 15 years.
29:22Her loyalty isn't in question.
29:24Oh, it's...
29:25I mean, what's he asking me for?
29:32What do I know?
29:33Well, he's struggling.
29:34A 16-year-old and a 17-year-old to come on.
29:37Yeah, well, all I seem to do is wind him up.
29:40Tom's a good guy.
29:42He knows you mean well.
29:43Hmm, I don't know.
29:46I haven't got a very good feeling about this.
29:50Listen, he's crazy about you.
29:53Is he?
30:03Aw, Clough.
30:06You're not mint, mate.
30:14Is he a lad with a sports car?
30:16Yeah.
30:17He's taken out for lunch.
30:19That's the one I got out of her.
30:21Well, go for Chloe.
30:23Come on.
30:24Ice caps melting.
30:26Oceans getting warmer.
30:28Summers of rain.
30:30Winters of sun.
30:31It's happening already.
30:33It makes me so angry.
30:35Good.
30:36It should.
30:41So, who's this Tom fella when he's at home?
30:45He's my stepdad.
30:46Kind of.
30:48He's so nice, but...
30:50It's just...
30:52He listens, but he doesn't hear.
30:54Or he hears, but he doesn't listen.
30:56Whatever.
30:58And what's your story?
31:01I've always loved nature and that.
31:03Like animals.
31:04Used to beg my mum for a pet.
31:07Yeah, sure, but why this?
31:09Why take up the struggle?
31:11I mean, this is some serious stuff we're dealing with here.
31:13Yeah, I know.
31:15I just...
31:16I wanted to be taken seriously.
31:19People were slagging me off because I'd turned veggie.
31:21Take it.
31:23This isn't about you.
31:24You know?
31:25Or me.
31:25Or spoons.
31:27Or anybody.
31:28You need to be in this for the planet.
31:30No one else.
31:32Humans are naturally solipsistic.
31:34You...
31:34You need to condition your mind to think altruistically.
31:38I mean...
31:39If you're just in this for yourself, then...
31:42Well, we might as well just pack up and go home.
31:44No.
31:45No, I'm...
31:45I'm not in this for myself.
31:47I want to do what's right.
31:53Are they listening yet?
32:02Well...
32:02Ask me who has just negotiated a fully organic conservation garden in the school grounds.
32:07They're moving the new building?
32:10Mika, they can't...
32:13No.
32:15But Mason's agreed to offset any environmental damage, plant twice as many trees and establish
32:19this garden.
32:21It's a complete victory.
32:24Don't know about you, but I came here to save these trees.
32:29So did I.
32:32Guys...
32:32I want to save the trees too, but...
32:34Well, come on.
32:35You fought a good fight.
32:37Brett's got you a good deal.
32:38Miss Mason's even gone out on a limb for you.
32:41Hey, up.
32:41No, she didn't.
32:43These trees are still gonna die.
32:44That's non-negotiable.
32:46Mika, you listen to me.
32:47This is gonna end.
32:48Now.
32:49Look, she's serious about the expulsion, and trespass, and criminal damage, and anything
32:53else you can think of.
32:54Ooh.
32:55That's really scary, mate.
32:58I'm not your mate.
32:59And you're not Mika's.
33:01She should be in school.
33:02No, Mika is here.
33:03I'm warning you, Mika.
33:04You get down.
33:05Now.
33:06You're not listening to me.
33:08I am listening to you, and I've been listening to you for the last two months.
33:11I've had enough.
33:12Now, grow up.
33:13What?
33:13So I can be like the rest of you?
33:15Do you think I'm gonna stand by and let you throw 13 years of school down the drain?
33:19I'm not doing that.
33:20This is my decision, and you can't stop me.
33:24Well, we'll see about that.
33:26Tom!
33:27You, er, might wanna watch that, mate.
33:29It's nasty stuff.
33:44Can I help you, mate?
33:46Oi!
33:47What do you think you're playing at?
33:48You wanna work?
33:49It's better than the trees, so let's make a start by shifting this barbed wire, eh?
33:52Sorry, mate.
33:52You're not insured.
33:53What, for the pen of bulk, cuz?
33:55Oi!
33:55Told you.
33:56Don't you wanna work?
33:58Yeah, well, help me clear this lot, and then you can get cracking.
34:00I've teacher's IQs fallen since I was at school.
34:03I said, you're not insured to work on this site.
34:06Now, op it.
34:08You tell him, slap him.
34:22It's only lunch.
34:31Hiya.
34:34You, er...
34:35You look great.
34:36Sorry I'm a bit late.
34:37That's right.
34:48Do you fancy bunking off up a tree?
34:50Oh, I thought you'd never ask.
34:54Where's she going?
34:55And who's that?
35:02Hmm, what happened to the trials and tribulations of Z-list celebrities, then?
35:07Hmm.
35:09Hmm.
35:09You mean this?
35:10Monsieur Lagarde sent it over for me.
35:14You know, the millionaire businessman in France I've been liaising with?
35:20The language labs?
35:22Hmm.
35:23So he does exist, then?
35:24Well, of course he does.
35:25He's coming over in a fortnight.
35:27Have a look at this.
35:32It's in French.
35:36My dear Stephanie, he's a bit straight-laced.
35:40I am very much looking forward to seeing you again.
35:44Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
35:46And I can confirm that my organisation is considering your project for a substantial cash sum.
35:54What do you think of that?
35:56Not a lot.
35:58Comes to something when the education system's being propped up by foreigners.
36:03Not content with nicking our football clubs and after our schools as well.
36:08What?
36:09People having difficulty closing cupboards?
36:13Well, look, do you mean, I wouldn't.
36:15It doesn't look like he's in the mood to talk just now.
36:17Just wait till all this tree stuff's over.
36:19Well, he doesn't look like he's handling it very well.
36:23Anyway, there's no point in me saying anything.
36:26I'll just get my head blown off.
36:27Help me decide.
36:32When I climb a hill or shoot for the moon.
36:38Two more. Good.
36:41Right.
36:43We need to hit back.
36:45Show them we can't be intimidated.
36:46Um, I think Mr. Clarkson's just demonstrated they can't do much if we're up here.
36:50Come on, you're just a bunch of kids playing games and that's what they're banking on.
36:53Well, we didn't know we were going to be doing this today.
36:56So?
36:57We need to make an impact.
36:59Do something they won't be expecting.
37:00I could call the press.
37:02Nah, nah.
37:04Leave it to me.
37:05I know what we can do.
37:08Bonjour.
37:10Je voudrais parler à Claude Légard.
37:14Claude?
37:15Ah!
37:16Comment ça va?
37:18C'est moi!
37:20Steph!
37:24Steph! Steph Haydock!
37:25Waterloo Road!
37:28La Rue de Waterloo!
37:33I love this place.
37:34I've never been here before.
37:39I was, um, pretty gobsmacked when I got your text.
37:42Oh, well, I've been thinking about you for a while, you know?
37:46I, er, I thought you weren't interested.
37:48That was the vibe I was getting a few weeks ago.
37:51I just needed to be sure.
37:53I haven't done a lot of dating since my last relationship.
37:56Oh, sorry.
37:58Painful experience.
37:59No.
38:01Not really.
38:26I, er, I had to go.
38:43You're a lunatic!
38:44You could've killed someone!
38:46Classrooms were empty.
38:48We didn't ask you to go and smash up the school.
38:51It's just to create a little rippel, that's all.
38:53You're a chill, Brent. No-one got hurt.
38:54Yeah. Yeah. We know what we're doing.
38:57It's only a few cuts and bruises and better that than a roasted planet. Yeah?
39:05Calling the police. That's what I say.
39:07There's a couple of blokes. We need protecting here.
39:10Either that or danger money.
39:11Well, I don't think it's safe to teach on that side of the school, is it?
39:14No. We should send everybody home.
39:16Just like that. The whole school.
39:18What's it to you whether the school stays open or not?
39:21A mister here today gone tomorrow?
39:23This is down to that eco lot. Eddie, can you go and find Tom, please?
39:27This is a health and safety issue. We shouldn't have to work under these conditions.
39:31Dead right.
39:39Still think bringing them in on this was a good idea?
39:42They're making people sit up and take notice.
39:45And this is over. We're in a lot of trouble.
39:48Well, if that's what it takes, then it's a small price to pay.
39:50The end justifies the means.
39:52Look, maybe we're just a bit naive.
39:55This problem's bigger than a few panes of glass.
39:57And if someone gets hurt?
39:58No-one's gonna get hurt.
39:59If you don't want to stay, Brett, that's fine.
40:01Don't be daft.
40:03I'm not leaving you up here with him.
40:08Look at the likes of Nicky Clark, Trevor Sorby. I mean, hairdressing is big business. If you've got the drive
40:14and passion for it, I'd say definitely go for it.
40:17It's just the idea of working for myself. Doing something that I love doing.
40:22Oh, it's the best. Listen, I can help you with a business plan. This is something you really want to
40:29do. Just discuss it with Tom. He'll see the passion you've got for it.
40:35Oh, erm, I'll give you a lift back, eh?
40:38No, there's no need. I've got to get some stuff in town.
40:45Call me, yeah?
40:46Yeah. Of course.
40:50Call me, yeah?
41:52We'll talk about this later.
41:54No, we won't.
41:56It's just a Saturday job.
42:00Cloe!
42:01Does she always ignore you?
42:10Someone could have been killed.
42:13Come on.
42:13It's just a couple of panes of glass.
42:15Nobody got hurt.
42:16It's gone a little bit too far now, Tom.
42:18Look, it's just a few militant nutters.
42:21It's not our maker.
42:22Well, it's time to let them know.
42:23They either come down now or I'm excluding them.
42:31Okay.
42:32You need to come down now or we'll have to call the police.
42:36You've got three minutes.
42:38Good.
42:39We want people to know what's happening.
42:42Look, most of you are in this for the skive.
42:45So don't get arrested for the sake of skipping double mats.
42:49Look, this isn't about a few light bulbs anymore.
42:51No, it's not.
42:53Miss Haddock and Mr. Budgin were both in their rooms when the windows came through.
42:57They're lucky they weren't seriously injured.
43:00Is Miss Haddock okay?
43:01Well, she'd like to see a friendly face.
43:04Oh, I can't be doing with this today.
43:06Come on.
43:09So, I mean, you think this is worth expulsion and a possible criminal record?
43:14That's where you're all headed.
43:23Sorry, Mika.
43:28Your Mika's alright, mentally.
43:30She's not stuck with the flaming tree.
43:33Mr Lawson says they're getting suspended.
43:36Hey, what's happening with you and Decra?
43:39Oh, Janice, no, I'm telling you, she's in love.
43:41Oh, no!
43:42She's going!
43:46Listen, you're not going to get a criminal record.
43:49You'll probably just get a warning.
43:51And you believe him, do you?
43:54These trees, they've been here for hundreds of years.
43:57This is a limited offer.
43:58You've got one minute left.
44:00After that, all you're getting is your one phone call down at the station.
44:04It's just you and Brett now, Mika.
44:07We are saving these trees.
44:10Mika, you've made your point.
44:11We've got some new trees and all the other stuff.
44:14Great.
44:14A couple of epoxy light bulbs.
44:15That's nothing.
44:18He can't tell me what to do.
44:20Leon can't either.
44:22Make your own mind up.
44:23I am.
44:24Are you?
44:25Take a step back and think about what's happened today.
44:28Has this really been about saving a few oak trees or battle of wills with you and Tom?
44:31What was Lawson's car?
44:34That's different and you know it is.
44:36Brett, we have to make people understand.
44:41Sorry, Mika.
44:44It's just too much.
44:55I don't think there's anything you can say to make her give this up.
44:59Well, they obviously need to speak to her face to face.
45:04Look, Stuart, this has got absolutely nothing to do with Waterloo Road.
45:08I take it you've called the police?
45:10Well, no, not yet, but I'm about to.
45:13So far, we've been able to contain it ourselves.
45:15I'm down five grand before a hole's even been dug.
45:18Well, I'm afraid any compensation claims need to go to the LEA.
45:22What, you don't want them prying into your affairs?
45:25Just get it sorted, all right?
45:32Yes, please, please.
45:36Hello, I would like to report an incident of vandalism and trespass.
45:41Tom, leave us alone!
45:46Give it a kick, it'll scare him off.
45:48Tom, go back down.
45:50Cool head, Tom. Don't do anything stupid now.
45:52Tom, quick, before he gets any further up.
45:54We're gonna sort this out.
45:55Do it!
45:58We can't, we-
45:59Tom!
46:00Tom!
46:03Tom, you okay?
46:05Tom!
46:05Just try and keep still, mate.
46:07Tom!
46:09I was only trying to scare him.
46:11The ambulance.
46:12He's dead, I know he is.
46:13Waterloo Road School.
46:16That's right, right.
46:18It's all right, mate, take it easy.
46:20I'm sorry.
46:20Yeah.
46:21No, one of our teachers has fallen off a ladder.
46:23I'm fine, I'm fine.
46:25Don't touch him.
46:27Well, yeah, he's conscious, but...
46:29Can you just hurry up, please?
46:31Yeah, as soon as you can.
46:32Thanks.
46:33Try to keep still, mate.
46:41Do you need a tape inside?
46:43Thanks.
46:46I would've preferred a negotiated settlement, but I suppose a swan dive from a twenty-foot
46:49tree is one we're getting them down.
46:56What's happened?
46:58Is he all right?
46:59I could've killed him.
47:00No, he's fine.
47:02It's nothing major.
47:04Come on.
47:06OK, listen up.
47:07On your way.
47:08The show's over.
47:10Looks like you've got a bed for the night.
47:12I'd get a shift on if I were you.
47:14Why?
47:15Done nothing?
47:16Of course.
47:17Smashing windows, trespassing, endangering kids' lives.
47:21We've raised a profile, yeah?
47:24Don't think this is over.
47:25When the locals find out what you're planning to do here, they'll be up in arms.
47:29We'll have 200 of them camped out here.
47:31Yeah, right.
47:32Good luck in your career.
47:33Yeah, yeah.
47:37He wound the whole thing up.
47:39This wasn't Mika's fault.
47:41I know.
47:42But she's part of it now.
47:44Can't change that.
47:48I mean, where did you find those nutters?
47:51They should throw away the key.
47:53It wasn't Leon.
47:55It was me.
47:56I pushed the ladder.
47:57You?
47:58Well, it all just happened, so...
48:01Are you sure you're not just covering for this Leon guy?
48:07They did the windows, but...
48:10It was me that pushed Tom off the ladder.
48:16Are you all right?
48:18Yeah, I'm fine.
48:20Yeah.
48:38How's Clarkson?
48:39Er, sorry.
48:40Mr. Clarkson, that is.
48:42He'll be all right.
48:44Er, Michelle tells me that you got a new man.
48:46Guy with a sports car.
48:49I suppose.
48:51Well, er...
48:52I'm really happy for you, babes.
48:55Sorry.
48:56Er, we both needed to move on, though, didn't we?
48:59I mean, I just felt a bit bad being so happy with Sel, and...
49:02Well, you know...
49:04It's good.
49:05Yeah.
49:08All right.
49:09Well, er, I'll see you tomorrow, then.
49:19What is it with you, Brett?
49:21Huh?
49:21You're an extremely clever young man.
49:23Here we go.
49:24Forget about what's going on in the world and concentrate on your exams.
49:26Come on.
49:27You're a dabbler.
49:29You're a dilettante.
49:30This is all some intellectual test for you.
49:33Look, you can question my commitment all you like.
49:35For God's sake.
49:36You climbed up a tree and you wouldn't come down.
49:39Do you know what?
49:39I'd have more respect for you if you actually cared about what you fight for.
49:44Remember with Meeker?
49:45At least she's got passion.
49:46She's got substance.
49:47But you?
49:49I take it Mr. Clarkson's injury's put paid to the conservation garden?
49:53Why?
49:54I gave you my word.
49:56Some of us have got principles, Brett.
49:59You can go.
50:06I told the police no charges.
50:10So you're just going to have to face the wrath of Miss Mason in the morning.
50:15Might be a few days at home, I'm afraid.
50:21Look, Meeker, I know you care passionately about the environment, but not like this, eh?
50:27I think somebody could have been seriously hurt today, not just me.
50:32I've been acting like a right, spoiled brat.
50:38Brett's right.
50:41I think today I was doing most of this just to wind you up.
50:46And when you did a good job.
50:52So no more internet eco-terrorists.
50:55And that's the last we've heard of Leon and Spoons.
51:00Spoons.
51:05I'm so sorry.
51:10I've got an apology to make too.
51:13Because you're an adult.
51:15And I'm going to treat you like one from now on.
51:29You'll be happy to leave this place behind.
51:33I've got a list of deputy head vacancies.
51:36A couple of head teacher jobs.
51:38Give you good reference.
51:43There are some good schools out there.
51:46Not many as challenging as Waterloo Road.
51:51Second thoughts?
51:54I'm not stupid, Rachel.
51:57All day you've been showing me what you think I'd miss about this place.
52:01It really winded me up.
52:03So stay.
52:10OK.
52:13But Hoardley's got to go.
52:15It's the only way we can work together, Rachel.
52:17You've got to call his bluff.
52:18It's not a bluff.
52:23I was going to deal with this myself, but...
52:32I've got to stop him.
52:35I'll call.
52:38I'll call the council.
52:39I'll...
52:40I'll tell them everything.
52:49Hiya.
52:50Hiya.
52:52Won't be forever, you know.
52:53Tom, he's sorting it out.
52:55It's just been a bit of a day.
52:56I think what happened today is going to make things harder for me and Tom.
53:00Oh no, don't be daft.
53:02After today, he'll see how good you are with Mika, and you've always got on with clothes, so that's half
53:06the battle, weren't?
53:07You could have asked me what I thought.
53:09You know, I do have some idea how the female teenage mind works.
53:12He'll get over it.
53:13It's just men.
53:15My dad would rather have all his toenails extracted without using an aesthetic before he'd asked my mum for advice.
53:21Hey.
53:22I think it's time we got proactive.
53:24You provided a shoulder for Mika, didn't you?
53:26I know, but I didn't...
53:28But nothing.
53:28Listen, he'll see that you were there for Mika, and she'll appreciate what you did.
53:39You alright?
53:42Got my roasting off Mason, but I think she'll hold to her promise of the conservation garden, so it hasn't
53:49been a complete waste of time.
53:51I should have listened to you. Sorry.
53:54Hey, don't worry. I'll call you later, okay? I'll let you get on.
54:00See ya.
54:06How about we get a takeaway?
54:09Veggie boonah, of course.
54:11I'm not hungry.
54:12No?
54:13Chloe?
54:14Nah.
54:17I'm sorry about earlier.
54:19What, Chloe?
54:20The hairdressing thing.
54:22I should back off a bit.
54:24Stop thinking about what your mum would say.
54:26Don't try and second-guess mum.
54:28I never could.
54:31Just be patient with me.
54:33Let me make some mistakes too, eh?
54:36Deal.
54:37I'm not going to stop you doing things that you enjoy and that you're caring about.
54:41Knife's too short.
54:42So, are you saying I can take this job?
54:46If it doesn't affect your schoolwork, yeah.
54:48Hey!
54:49That's your number two all out of us.
54:50No, thank you.
54:51Come here.
54:59Come on.
55:02Tom.
55:06I'm glad you seem to have sorted things out.
55:10Sort of.
55:12Listen.
55:13Just fancy going out to get something to eat.
55:16Save yourself from cooking.
55:19Thanks, but, er...
55:20I'm going to get these two home.
55:22I need to spend more time with them.
55:24They're not going to be around much longer.
55:26Yeah, of course.
55:29See you tomorrow then.
55:30Thanks anyway.
55:32See ya.
55:56Do it quickly, then it's over.
56:06I'll do it.
56:07No, I can do it.
56:23Yes, hi, it's Rachel Mason.
56:25Can I take your order?
56:27That's right, Wardley Road.
56:29Can I speak to the Director of Finance, please?
56:32Do you want to place an order?
56:34Can I leave a message?
56:35I need to discuss the Wardley contract.
56:38Well, as soon as possible, I've got some, er...
56:40I've got some disturbing information about Stuart Wardley's bid.
56:44I think you got the wrong number, love.
56:48Okay.
56:49Well, if you can call me in the morning.
56:52Bye.
56:56The Director of Finance is calling me in the morning and I'm top priority.
57:01I am so proud of you, Rachel.
57:05Wish I could see his face when you tell him.
57:08Now, come on.
57:09Anything he throws at us, we'll handle it together.
57:13Okay?
57:13It's okay.
57:15I'll leave her alone.
57:16Yeah.
57:21Bye.
57:22Bye.
57:24Bye.
57:32Bye.
57:35Bye.
57:40Bye.
57:43Bye.
