00:26Loving
00:29Love's out, find a feeling
00:37Screaming
00:39Screaming
00:41Time for healing
00:47You feel the moment's gone too soon
00:58You're watching clouds come over you
01:09Torn in two
01:15You close your eyes for someplace new
01:21Torn in two
01:26Jack?
01:28You come to escort me off the premises?
01:31Andrew's told me you two have had a chat.
01:33I thought it might be helpful if the three of us sat down for a meet.
01:37Ensure a smooth handover.
01:39I'll just do as I'm told now, yeah?
01:41Well, obviously I'll be expecting you to be a supportive deputy.
01:45I've told Roger that we've agreed to implement his zero tolerance exclusions policy.
01:50Kick out all of the scumbags.
01:52Great.
01:53The children who want to learn will think so.
01:56Excuse me.
01:57I've got to go home and work on my lesson plans.
02:00It's all yours now, Andrew.
02:02Andrew.
02:03Andrew.
02:05Andrew.
02:06Andrew.
02:06Andrew.
02:07Andrew.
02:09Andrew.
02:09Andrew.
02:09Andrew.
02:09Andrew.
02:10Andrew.
02:10Andrew.
02:10Andrew.
02:10Andrew.
02:13Andrew.
02:15Andrew.
02:17Andrew.
02:33Andrew.
02:34Andrew.
02:34Andrew.
02:34Andrew.
02:34Andrew.
02:36Andrew.
02:38Andrew.
02:38It's sourdough.
02:39It's gorgeous.
02:41Yeah, worth hobbling into town for.
02:43How is the ankle?
02:44Oh, it's still a bit tingly up my leg, but not like it was,
02:47and my foot feels fine now, so I'll drive myself to work today.
02:52There you are.
02:53Do you want some of this toast, Mika?
02:54Lorna bought it especially.
03:00Ooh, someone's got boyfriend trouble.
03:02Why are you saying that, Mum?
03:03Mika hasn't got a boyfriend, has she?
03:05Well, then it must be hormones.
03:06Whatever. It was rude.
03:08I'll just grab the bathroom.
03:11I'll go and watch telly.
03:16Hey, if she can hobble off to town, she can hobble off to a hotel room.
03:20Tom.
03:21Well, what are we pussyfooting around for talking about toast?
03:23It's been over a week now with her practically lying down the middle of our bed.
03:28I'm going to go and have a wee with her.
03:30Or she has another go at throwing herself down the stairs.
03:32No, don't. I'll do it. Just...
03:34You still don't believe me about her, do you?
03:35Oh.
03:43Mika?
03:45What do you want?
03:47I just want to talk to you.
03:49Because I know you resent me being here.
03:51But please believe me.
03:53I'm really embarrassed about turning myself into an invalid.
03:56And I am trying to find a flat of my own.
03:58And your mum's been helping me.
03:59So it really isn't fair on her to make things so awkward.
04:02You haven't got a clue what you're doing.
04:04None of you are.
04:09Just stop here, will you?
04:11Yeah.
04:11I don't want people seeing you with you.
04:14Mika, it's you that's making this a big problem.
04:16Chloe's not fussed, is she?
04:20It won't be for too long anyway.
04:22What?
04:23You and him?
04:24I'm with you.
04:24Mika!
04:25That's what's caused all these problems.
04:30I can't believe I'm having another child.
04:36Morning, Mr. Rimmer.
04:39Sorry I'm late for my first day.
04:41We're there.
04:43Two minutes.
04:46Sadly, you're a good week late for me, Miss Shackleton.
04:49Sorry?
04:51I'm back in the classroom teaching history.
04:53Acting head's Mr. Trennaman now.
04:57Oh.
04:58Still, doesn't mean that you and me can't be the best of pals, eh?
05:05So, er, what happened to you then?
05:08I'm a bad boy.
05:10Hello?
05:13You must be our new Secchi.
05:15I'm Steph Haydock.
05:17French.
05:18Devaney Shackleton.
05:19Nice to meet you.
05:20Likewise.
05:22So, what do you think Miss Shackleton's going to make of our new acting head?
05:26Steph?
05:26Well, why don't I take you through and introduce you to him, Davina?
05:30Then you can find out for yourself.
05:32Right.
05:32I'm sure we'll be keeping you very busy.
05:36Abusive and threatening behaviour to a teacher is something we won't tolerate here, Courtney.
05:40She shouted at me.
05:41I'm not debating it with you.
05:43As of now, you're excluded from Waterloo Road for nine days.
05:47Collect your things on the way out.
05:48Give this to your mother.
06:04Set and get off the car!
06:06I mean it!
06:12Right, I'm going to call the police.
06:13You're banned from coming anywhere near this school.
06:15Oh, I'm sorry, Miss.
06:17I forgot I got a nice bow.
06:19Have to see you downtown then.
06:30You're a bit disappointed, actually.
06:32I like you, Nick.
06:33Oh, do you?
06:34Well, you'll like Andrew Treneman more.
06:36Mr Treneman, this is your new Estelle.
06:40Miss Shackleton.
06:42Found her in the car park.
06:43Oh, right.
06:44Welcome to Waterloo Road, Miss Shackleton.
06:47He's unattached if you fancy somebody your own age.
06:54And I'm on my way to the office.
06:56I'll, erm, go and get started on the post, shall I?
06:58Excellent.
07:02Kim.
07:03Look, I know we've got our differences,
07:06but we always have had.
07:07Hasn't stopped us being civil.
07:10Come on, this is silly.
07:12No.
07:13No, actually, this is frightening.
07:15I've just had to run the gauntlet
07:17through some of your excluded pupils
07:18outside the school gates,
07:19led by Louis Seddon.
07:21Yeah, because thanks to yours and Aspinall's hard line,
07:24he's got a whole posse of angry boys with him now.
07:26Morning, sir.
07:27Nick.
07:28Morning.
07:32Denise Bryant?
07:34Oh, no.
07:36Is that mine?
07:39I can't believe it.
07:41Sir, my mum must have put it in my pocket.
07:45There.
07:46Won't ring again.
07:47That's a promise, sir.
07:48You can collect it at the end of the week.
07:51Well, sir...
07:52Your mother signed up to this
07:53like 89% of all the other parents.
07:55So go.
08:00There's no way that he's keeping my phone for a week.
08:02You haven't thought this through, have you?
08:04I'm sick of the things.
08:05So is every teacher in every school in Britain,
08:07the ones that haven't banned them already.
08:08Well, let's just hope for your sake
08:10that there isn't a pedophile stalking one of our kids, shall we?
08:12There are no more child abductions than there were 40 years ago.
08:15Oh, you've got it all rehearsed, I mean, yeah.
08:17And perhaps, now we're keeping him out of this school,
08:19we'll have no more robberies,
08:20or happy slappings,
08:21or bullying texts,
08:22or pornography.
08:23Do you want me to go on?
08:26Andrew.
08:29I've been waiting for a moment to grab you alone.
08:31I'm a bit out on a limb in the staff room at the moment,
08:34but I just want you to know
08:34I'm personally really excited about everything
08:36Mr Aspinall wants to achieve here.
08:38Oh, how to admit, that's really nice to hear.
08:40Yeah, well, some teachers always see change as a threat.
08:44Lorna, um, maybe we should have a catch-up later.
08:48You're free period five, aren't you?
08:50I've got a proposition I want to put to you.
08:51Oh?
09:06See you later, then.
09:07Yeah, see you later.
09:20Hi, Mika.
09:22Why are you doing this to me, Leanne?
09:24Eh?
09:25Don't pretend.
09:26I know it's you who set up that hate site.
09:28Hate site?
09:30Mika, you're saying someone's set up an hate site about you.
09:35You cow.
09:36Brett must be mad hanging out with you.
09:38I don't know what you're talking about,
09:40but you'd better not even think about bad-mouthing me to Brett.
09:49Hey, Mika, did you get me to...
09:53Why does she keep freezing me out?
09:56She's so sensitive, isn't she?
09:58I mean, we all got off our heads at night.
09:59Why is she making such a big deal of it?
10:01Is she getting into trouble with her mum or something?
10:02Honest, Brett, I think she's just dead uptight.
10:05I've tried everything to get her to talk about it,
10:07but it's like...
10:17Tee for two.
10:20Cheers.
10:21I'm not used to seeing you here in the staff room.
10:24Yeah, well, I can't say that I'm thrilled
10:26to be back teaching the Reformation
10:27to a bunch of comatose 12-year-olds, either.
10:30You are still going to apply for the permanent headship,
10:32though, aren't you, Jack?
10:32I mean, you're not just going to roll over.
10:34Too right on bloody applying.
10:36If Aspinall wants to fight,
10:38he's picked the right bloke to give him one.
10:39I'm just holding my fire.
10:41See which way the wind blows.
10:43Well, you know who I'm rooting for?
10:45Onwards and upwards, eh?
10:50So now we move on to the birth of the Industrial Revolution?
10:53You mean the birth of immoral capitalist morons.
10:57You know, it's funny,
10:59but I've had this annoying buzzing in my ear
11:02for the whole lesson
11:03and it's driving me flaming crazy!
11:08Good.
11:09It's gone.
11:10Where was I?
11:13Er, Mr. Rimmer, could I just...
11:15Now?
11:18Turn to Chapter 4 in your books.
11:21Sorry to interrupt your class.
11:24Problem?
11:25I'm trying to find last year's capitation budget.
11:28Is there one in the drawer?
11:29No, well, that's because
11:29there'll be in the filing cabinet
11:31marked Departmental Budget.
11:34Right.
11:35Great.
11:35Thanks.
11:36Think I didn't keep on top of the paperwork?
11:46This is going to be fun, isn't it?
11:48Oh, cheers.
11:49Thanks.
11:53Lorna, about you staying on at ours...
11:56Yeah, I'm definitely going to start paying you some rent.
11:58No, no, we don't want any money.
11:59You know, and I'll give it to you in vouchers, then,
12:01cos I really owe you is.
12:03It's been really healing for me staying with you and Tom.
12:08Look, he really wants to make a start
12:10on turning the box room into a nursery.
12:14It's Mika, isn't it?
12:15She's not happy about me, is she?
12:18Well, look, I'm sure I'll like one of these new flats
12:21at the weekend.
12:21Well, there's no chain or anything, so...
12:26I think Andrew Treneman fancies me.
12:28Eh?
12:29I suppose I should probably give that B&B a call, shouldn't I?
12:32See if they've got their plumbing sorted.
12:40Miss, Miss Fennman said I was to leave this on his desk.
12:44Fine.
12:44In you go.
12:51Come on.
12:52Hurry up.
12:54Just making sure to see you there.
13:01Blinging tart.
13:02Only $4.99.
13:04Amazing.
13:14Mika?
13:16Are you concentrating?
13:18What's the point?
13:19I'll never be any good at French.
13:21Well, don't be put off by how good Brett is.
13:23I'm hoping he's going to be an inspiration to all of you.
13:27J'ai offert de l'aider, mais elle n'est pas intéressée.
13:30Frément?
13:33Brett says he's offered to help you, but you don't want to know.
13:37Well, I would take him up on that if I were you.
13:40Practise your conversation together, expand your vocab.
13:43Might even come along meself.
13:46Mika already gets enough help with her English.
13:48Living with three teachers.
13:50Oi.
13:50T'es toi, you, Leanne.
13:52Well, it's true, innit?
13:53I don't get any bloody help at home.
13:55I don't even talk to Mr Clarkson if he really want to know.
13:57Never mind his stupid wife.
13:59All right, all right.
14:00Can I see you all concentrating, please?
14:07We've just got to make sure that she finds a flat this weekend.
14:10I mean, she wants to.
14:11No, she knows it's causing problems with Mika.
14:13The only way to shift, Lorna, is to tell her straight.
14:18This is her last night, Iz.
14:19Do you have to be so confrontational?
14:22Give her another day and she'll take a week.
14:24Another week, then it's a month.
14:25Well, then what?
14:26She's then when the baby's born.
14:27I wouldn't put it past her taking turns at breastfeeding.
14:30She's just desperate not to be on her own.
14:35Do you know, I think someone up there's punishing us.
14:38And we deserve it and all.
14:40No.
14:41No.
14:42Lorna is punishing us.
14:52Are you doing anything lunchtime?
14:55Let's go to the pub, eh?
14:56Have a chat.
15:06Mika.
15:07Just wait on a bit.
15:22What was all that about, then, eh?
15:25Nothing.
15:26Come on, love.
15:26I can tell you're not happy.
15:29Look, Mika, I don't want to pry, but are you being given a hard time because of, you know,
15:33things at home?
15:35No.
15:36It's just rubbish.
15:37I wish I'd get extra help with my homework.
15:38Well, you don't have to put up with being bullied, you know.
15:41Do you want me to have a chat with your mum?
15:42No way.
15:43What for?
15:44I'm not being bullied.
15:46I'd say if I was.
15:47I'm just not getting on with all this new work I've got to do.
15:50All right.
15:50All right.
15:50Well, listen, don't let it get you down.
15:52You've got plenty of time ahead.
15:54Come on.
16:01All right.
16:01Come on close.
16:03Get lost.
16:03Come on close.
16:04Stop it.
16:05You look good.
16:06This.
16:07Told you I'd get it back.
16:08How?
16:09Just took it.
16:11What?
16:11Out of his office?
16:12Don't you think he's going to find out?
16:14He's not going to find out.
16:15Not when there's about a million other ones in there.
16:23Oh, watch this.
16:24What are you doing?
16:29Dante.
16:34Oh, that's well done.
16:37You idiot.
16:41Isn't this the same one I confiscated this morning?
16:45You stole it from my office?
16:49Come with me.
16:54You idiot.
16:56I'm sorry, babes.
17:10I want a bottle of vodka, Mr Patel.
17:12I want to see some ID.
17:15You're a hard man, Mr Patel.
17:21No ID.
17:22No alcohol.
17:23You've seen it.
17:25You've seen this.
17:26Refusing me drink because I'm white.
17:28Well, that's discrimination.
17:29Aye.
17:30I think you should call the police.
17:32I'll call the police.
17:33Before you do.
17:36Hey, come on.
17:38This is my living.
17:39Put that back.
17:40Hey.
17:43They won't get away with this.
17:46It's been a racialist.
17:50Cheers now.
17:55Where's the paper cups?
17:57Oh, are you?
18:01We're just going to have a little chat.
18:03I can't stop the hassle.
18:05You've got to leave this to me now, okay?
18:10They're at the worst when they're monster for him.
18:14Kim.
18:15Can I have a word?
18:19I see what you mean.
18:28What?
18:29I'm going to have to exclude Janice Bryant.
18:32Another one?
18:33We're going to have the best pupil-teacher ratio in the whole country, the way you're going.
18:37She broke into my office and stole something from my desk.
18:40Stole what, exactly?
18:42Her confiscated mobile.
18:44I just thought I'd do you the courtesy of letting you know...
18:46No, Andrew.
18:48Let's just talk about this sensibly.
18:52Janice, you more than anyone know how much of an effort she's made.
18:56I'd never believe that she'd choose to come back and reset her GCSEs.
19:01Can we not just give her another chance?
19:03Look.
19:03A last chance.
19:04I can't make an exception.
19:06Something of this magnitude, it means automatic exclusion.
19:10Andrew, I know that it's a lot to ask.
19:14But I'm asking.
19:18So you wanted to just lose everything for breaking one stupid rule?
19:22Having a heated debate, are you?
19:24Yeah.
19:25Yeah, about you.
19:27No.
19:28It's just a lot of us are noticing that if you're a poor kid around here and your life
19:31chances are next to nothing, you're being shown the door.
19:33I was poor myself once, Miss Campbell.
19:35But my parents taught me respect for authority and how to conduct myself.
19:39Really?
19:40Well, you seem to have forgotten.
19:42Or do you not think you need to try any more because you're rich?
19:50Well, that's put me in my place.
19:53She's just passionate.
19:55So am I, Andrew.
19:56Got the latest set of plans with the swimming pool layout.
19:58Marvellous.
20:00About that bank transfer, it doesn't seem to have cleared into the school's account.
20:04Just that Zions are desperate for their textiles.
20:07I'll give the bank a rocket.
20:09Mr Chairman.
20:11Hi, Mr Aspinall.
20:14Davina.
20:14Happy in your new job?
20:16Yes, thanks.
20:17Er, we've had a phone call.
20:19From a Mr Patel.
20:22A local shop.
20:25Right.
20:26Er, could we meet up later, Roger?
20:29Say, last period?
20:31Sure.
20:40Jack, we've got a gang of our ex-pupils terrorising the local shopkeeper.
20:45I've got to get down there.
20:46You want to use my car?
20:48I want you to come with me.
20:50This is my PPA time.
20:52You're the disciplinarian.
20:53Jack, I need your backup.
20:55I think Lewis Seddon's involved.
21:02…
21:09…
21:12…
21:17Whee!
21:19Whee!
21:20Whee!
21:21That's it.
21:22Whee!
21:24Whee!
21:26Whee!
21:30What did you say to her, Doc, then?
21:31Cos it better not have been about me.
21:33What would I want to talk about you for?
21:34Dead obvious what your problem is, innit?
21:36Well, apart from your mum having it off with another teacher's husband.
21:39Look!
21:40Will you just leave me alone?
21:41No.
21:42Not until you piss off out of this school, Mika.
21:44Cos if you don't, it'll be a picture of your tits on that website.
21:48Mika!
21:49She's getting me mixed!
21:50Yeah, I just saw.
21:51Come on, both of you.
21:52Inside, now.
21:59Why do you let them run riot?
22:01They're no longer with us, Mr Patel.
22:03I walk to the road.
22:04What do you mean?
22:05Half of them are little kids.
22:07They should be sitting in the classroom on their bums instead of drinking, sniffing, gloating,
22:13God knows what else.
22:14They've been excluded.
22:16Half the school's been excluded.
22:17Now they run riot on the estate.
22:20My business, it's ruined.
22:22You know how much for security?
22:25£8,000 a year.
22:28Cameras and alarms and insurance.
22:31And you two.
22:32You just wash your hands.
22:35Not your problem.
22:37Have you tried calling the police?
22:38If the police could help, why is he a prisoner in his own shop?
22:41They slash your tyres.
22:44Fritting your children, your wife.
22:46I'm sick of it.
22:48I'm sick of it.
22:49No one can run a business here now.
22:56Poor bloke.
22:58What a mess.
23:12I just lost my temper.
23:15It wasn't about her.
23:17I'm just totally fed up of being back at school.
23:20You know that I'm here to help you talk about any problems.
23:23I wouldn't have any problems if I could just leave school.
23:26I'm sick of it.
23:27I don't want to stay on for A-levels.
23:30Really?
23:30I just, I know I'd be much happier in a shop or an office, you know, working my way up.
23:37You know I'm going to have to send you to the cooler for this, don't you?
23:40Fine.
23:41Send me to the cooler.
23:43Don't matter.
23:44I won't be coming back to school tomorrow.
23:58You don't seem to be enjoying that.
24:01Look, Lorna, I'll get to the point.
24:05This isn't working.
24:07You living with us.
24:11We need you to leave tonight.
24:15If you need money for help for a hotel room, we're really sorry.
24:22Oh, for goodness sake, Tom, don't be.
24:24I completely understand.
24:25I mean, you've both been fantastic to me.
24:27I'll get on to it after school.
24:31Well, don't say anything to Izzy, I don't want her upset with the baby and everything.
24:35I presume you'll pay.
24:37Of course.
24:39Well, thank you for lunch, Tom.
24:46Hello, love.
24:48Heyo, Tom.
24:51Bill Winslow, union rep.
24:54You all right?
24:55What Grantley's telling me, I don't think you are.
24:57Not a happy ship, is it, Waterloo Road?
25:00Well, not exactly.
25:01Not since Aspinall's been stalking the corridors looking for trouble.
25:05I haven't had much dealings with him myself.
25:08No, it's just me so far.
25:09But if this isn't constructive dismissal, then all your job contracts are written on toilet paper.
25:16Yeah, well, Jack's felt the squeeze himself now, hasn't he?
25:19He should just walk back into your job.
25:21Force Treneman to show his hand.
25:23I've got a better idea.
25:25Why don't we get all our members in the English department to walk out with me, eh?
25:32Better be getting back.
25:34Hmm.
25:35Rouse the troops on my behalf?
25:36Well, I'll test the water for you, mate, but I think you've got to get the union position clarified.
25:41The union's only as strong as its members.
25:43Well, I mean, there's a lot of positive things happening.
25:46Like the discipline's a hundred times better and, er, well, the new school, everyone wants
25:49a piece of that.
25:50It's a bribe.
25:52To make you forget you've got rights.
25:55Well, it was you who walked, Grantly.
25:57You could probably negotiate a great settlement, never see the inside of Waterloo Road again.
26:01Sounds like bliss to me.
26:02Then Aspinall and Treneman will have won.
26:04Hmm.
26:05And they'll pick off the rest of you, one by one.
26:15What I can't get to the bottom of is why she hit you.
26:19I mean, did you do something to provoke her?
26:21No, miss.
26:22But it's not like Mika to just, er, lash out at someone.
26:25It's embarrassing.
26:27Come on, Leanne.
26:31I need you to tell me.
26:34It's all since Brett Aspinall invited me and Mika around to his house.
26:38Mika got dead drunk and she tried to get us to have a threesome.
26:45Honest, it's true, miss.
26:47Me and Brett were dead shocked.
26:48He had to get his dad's driver to take her home.
26:52Now it's like she's really got it in for me.
26:54Like it's me that's made Brett go off her.
26:58Was Mr. Aspinall aware of what was going on?
27:00He was upstairs.
27:02Look, miss, I don't want to make a bigger thing out of it.
27:05I mean, me and Mika used to be best mates.
27:08I just think she's turned really funny.
27:17I'm so sorry, Lorna.
27:19Forgot all about our meeting.
27:20No problem.
27:21No problem.
27:22I know you're a very busy man.
27:25Proposition?
27:28I'd like you to take over as acting head of English.
27:31Me?
27:31Well, if you're up for it.
27:33I certainly think you're capable.
27:35Well, um, gosh.
27:37Well, I'd love to.
27:38Um, it's a big challenge.
27:40Well, I'm here if you need any help.
27:44Yeah, well, I'll take you up on that.
27:45Please do.
27:47Um, you don't foresee any problems having Tom and Izzy working on, do you?
27:53Well, we're the best of friends, Andrew.
27:55I mean, they've even invited me to share their home.
27:59Well, that's a first, surely.
28:01Yeah, well, we go back a long way.
28:02I just hope this proves to everybody we've finally put our troubles behind us.
28:06And I'm happily single again.
28:08Well, it won't be for long, I'm sure.
28:10Yeah, well, here's hoping.
28:24Izzy, I've just had to send Mika to the cooler.
28:27For hitting Leanne Galloway.
28:29I saw her do it.
28:30She's her best friend.
28:32She wouldn't explain why.
28:34Well, apart from to say that she was fed up with school.
28:38Well, what did Leanne say about it?
28:41I can't make out what the issue is.
28:43I just think that you should try and get Mika to talk to you.
28:46She's obviously got a lot going on.
28:49Well, I know she's been a bit moody.
28:50I don't not talk to her.
28:52I really think she's in a bad way, Izzy.
28:55Maybe just make a special effort with her tonight, then...
28:57Kim.
28:58I don't need lessons on how to mother my own kids, all right?
29:04Sorry.
29:05I shouldn't have snapped.
29:07You're right.
29:07I have been ignoring Mika and Chloe.
29:09It's fine.
29:11Look, I know you're under a lot of strain.
29:16Yes, Charles, what is it?
29:19Sir, I'm hoping...
29:21Well, the thing is...
29:24It was me who deliberately got Janice into trouble.
29:29Look, she doesn't want to get chucked out, sir.
29:32And if she does...
29:35You're going to have to chuck me out and all.
29:39Give me the blasted thing.
29:42You've not heard the last of this.
29:46Go.
29:51The exclusion policy.
29:53We're going to have to rethink it.
29:55Oh, and it's working so well.
29:56It's causing havoc out there.
29:58The system can't deal with all these feral children just dumped on them.
30:02Yeah, and one school can't deal with them all either, Andrew, like you said yourself.
30:05And I'm only interested in this one school.
30:07Yes, I know, but...
30:08Look, I'm telling you.
30:09This time next year, we'll have them queuing round the block to get their kids in here.
30:13We will get the support of this community.
30:16Not if what I've seen this afternoon is anything to go by.
30:20And all these letters.
30:22Eh?
30:22This from a Mrs MacPhail.
30:24She's 83.
30:26Two boys, she says, are sitting on her wall all day long,
30:29swearing and spitting at her when she leaves her home.
30:31Has she contacted her MP?
30:33Er, it doesn't say.
30:35All she knows is that they're from Waterloo Road.
30:37Not anymore, they're not.
30:38I know they're not technically,
30:39but the impression out there in the wider community is that we're responsible.
30:43Look, here's another.
30:44The church on the edge of the estate...
30:46Andrew, Andrew.
30:47This is how it is.
30:49I'm paying my hard-earned money to give our poor kids a decent education.
30:53And I'm not having it disrupted by a bunch of thugs.
30:56End of.
30:58Once the local folks start complaining through the proper channels,
31:00that'll put a rocket up the politicians' backsides.
31:03It's their problem now.
31:06Speaking of hard-earned money,
31:08what do the banks say about the transfer?
31:09I'll call them just as soon as I've got a minute, Andrew.
31:13Just give me the invoice in the meantime.
31:19Excellent.
31:34Can I have a word with makeup, please?
31:35Yes, please, go ahead.
31:46Darling.
31:49I need you to tell me what's going on in your head.
31:55Look,
31:55Look, I want you to know that nothing means more to me than you and Chloe.
32:02Not Dom, not Lona, nobody.
32:05Yeah, right.
32:10Why did you hate Leanne?
32:13Felt like it.
32:45Let's go.
32:48Hi.
32:50Hi.
32:58I don't bloody care. I've got nothing left. Nothing.
33:06I can't do it.
33:13You'd better get out there.
33:14Sorry?
33:14And so you should be and you.
33:16Kim, you...
33:16You've just turned this whole community upside down with your big stick theories and for
33:20what?
33:21Hey, to show us all how tough you are or to pander to his gigantic ego?
33:24Kim!
33:25Just look out of the window.
33:27We are the enemy now, Andrew.
33:29Do you know what?
33:29It was bad enough when it was you on your own.
33:31Now you've teamed up with that moron.
33:37What a mess.
33:38This is exactly the time we need to stay strong.
33:41I'll need to sort this out.
33:43If you ask me, Kim Campbell should be following budging out the door.
33:46She might be a decent teacher but her heart's not in what we're trying to do here.
33:49Well, looking out there, it's hard to defend what we're doing, isn't it?
33:54I hope you're not going soft on me, Andrew.
33:56Kim Campbell is an excellent teacher.
33:59She might express herself too forcefully but only because she is passionately committed to this school.
34:04No one speaks to me like that and expects to stay in my employment.
34:21Do you believe this?
34:23Yep.
34:26Oh, thank God the money charge is here.
34:29You know, one good thing about them not having mobile phones is that they can't take a picture and send
34:34it to the local paper.
34:36Leave me alone, you!
34:37Imagine what they'd make of this.
34:39Right, come on, break your own now!
34:42Get out!
34:43We had to have a disciplinary...
34:44Inside, please!
34:46Mr Patel, I really can't understand why you're upset but it's really...
34:49You can't understand anything!
34:52The Gazette's been on the phone.
34:55You'll sort it out.
34:59So, what are you doing after school?
35:03Why?
35:04Well, if you didn't have any plans, I know this great little place we can get back to eat.
35:08Maybe pick your brains a bit.
35:11Sounds intriguing.
35:13So you're up for it then?
35:15I'm not doing anything else.
35:19Well, I'll see you later then.
35:22When the coast is clear.
35:23See ya.
35:37Mr Treneman, Denise is here to see you.
35:41Dead sorry, sir, honest.
35:43If there was any way you'd give me another chance, I'd never get expelled again.
35:48Just wanna get my GCSEs.
35:55Here you are.
35:59I'm not expelling you, Denise.
36:02Miss Campbell has persuaded me to be lenient.
36:05For real?
36:06Take it home and leave it there.
36:10No, sir.
36:11I'd rather you kept it.
36:12Just in case I'm tempted.
36:17Maybe I should test myself.
36:20Just to see if I can do better.
36:33I presume you've got a minute.
36:36And you are?
36:37I'm Grantley's union rep, Bill Winslow.
36:40And this is our union's case to say that he's been constructively dismissed from his post, that he's been bullied
36:45and discriminated against.
36:47I'm seeking immediate reinstatement compensation and an apology from the bully.
36:54You.
36:56Me?
36:57You are the headmaster, aren't you?
37:03Do your worst, Budgen.
37:07He won't get any apology from me.
37:15Me?
37:16Isn't there any way we can all just, you know, chill a bit?
37:20This stuff with you and a neon, it's crap.
37:23I mean, we're, like, going to be spending a lot of time together.
37:26No, we're not.
37:27I'm chucking it.
37:28What?
37:29Your own levels?
37:30How are you going to get to uni?
37:32Uni isn't everything you know.
37:33Don't be daft, Mika.
37:34What are you going to do the rest of your life?
37:35Work in a shop?
37:37Just leave it, brat.
37:39Come on.
37:39At least talk about it.
37:40Let's meet up tonight.
37:42Mika!
37:52Roger.
37:54I'm glad I caught you before you left.
37:56All yours.
37:57The thing is, I can't continue to support your exclusions policy.
38:02Come on, we've had one blow-up incident.
38:04We can't be blamed for those yobs behaviour.
38:06I think I understand that.
38:08Perhaps I've come to the conclusion that there are better ways of disciplining our pupils,
38:12especially when their lives are so chaotic.
38:14What, Miss Campbell's ways?
38:16Sit them down for a cosy chat about the problems?
38:18Well, there's got to be something better than just trying to bomb them into submission.
38:21Is there?
38:23It doesn't matter what you give back to a community if you've already destroyed half of it.
38:27Which is why I'm not your man to run the school.
38:30Don't talk rubbish.
38:31I'm not.
38:32The fact that you don't value the work of teachers like Kim Campbell.
38:38Well, I can only hope she's truly grateful to you.
38:51Oh, he's never gone and expelled you.
38:54I'm about to expel you, we're not.
38:56What? What for?
38:59Got you worried then.
39:01No.
39:02So you're staying?
39:03Told ya. I'm going to get my GCSEs.
39:07Right, you two. Say your goodbyes.
39:12Close.
39:13Didn't you make her head off?
39:14I didn't see her.
39:15Look, she must have done then.
39:17Honest to God, this is a nightmare.
39:28Oh, my God.
39:31Oh, no.
39:31Oh, no.
39:40Ah...
39:41Sure.
39:43Oh, my God.
39:54Oh, Jack.
39:57Thought I'd missed you.
39:59I'm, er, cooking for two tonight.
40:01Steak frite.
40:03Do you fancy?
40:04Sorry, Steph, I'm already booked for tonight.
40:06Oh, where are you going?
40:09I'm going out with Davina.
40:12Davina?
40:13Look, Steph, don't kick off, yeah?
40:15Yeah. You know that you and me were just going round the houses.
40:18No, I don't. I thought you and me were going to my bed last week.
40:21Yeah, well, I was at a low end then.
40:23You owe me better than that, Jack.
40:27Obviously, I owe you loads.
40:29And I'll stick by you in school, but...
40:32Come on. We're adults, yeah?
40:36Yeah.
40:39I just wonder why an adult would want to go out with someone who looks half their age.
40:52I just wonder why an adult would want to go out with someone who's going to go out with someone
40:59who's going to the house.
41:00Oh, my God.
41:01I just wonder why an adult would want to be a girl.
41:02I don't think so.
41:02I think so.
41:03I don't think so.
41:14I don't think so.
41:16Well, it's clearly something.
41:24Mika, can you handle half a cider?
41:33Kim?
41:35What?
41:36You can drop the hostility.
41:39I told Roger I don't want the job.
41:43Did you hear me?
41:45I'm not going to be a headteacher any more.
41:47You were right.
41:49I shouldn't have taken it on.
41:53And I couldn't stand Aspinall driving a wedge between you and me.
42:01I hoped you might be out for a drink.
42:04To celebrate.
42:06What with you?
42:08I'd rather go out with Louis Seddon.
42:11For God's sake, do I really deserve that?
42:13You deserve a lot worse.
42:15Hang on a minute.
42:16Sorry, Andrew.
42:16The only reason you're saying this now is because you've messed up.
42:20It's a bit late for Mr Patel, innit?
42:22I've just about had enough of your holier-than-thou attitude.
42:25Wouldn't it be nice to be you?
42:27Just standing on the sidelines, carping.
42:30Some of us actually tried.
42:31There's the difference between you and me.
42:33Well, I'm glad there's a difference.
42:34Because as sure as hell wouldn't want people thinking we were the same.
42:50It just never seems to stop.
42:53You've got to go right to the top with this, Mika.
42:56You've got to tell Andrew Treneman.
42:58I can't tell him.
42:59Well, why not?
43:01He'll be right on your side about bullying.
43:03He's not flaky like Mr Rimmer was.
43:05When it comes down to it, I mean, it's nothing really.
43:08Just a few snidey comments and some texts.
43:11And a hateful website.
43:14This girl is out to make your life a misery.
43:17Believe me.
43:18I know.
43:20I've been bullied myself, to be frank with you, Mika.
43:22So don't go telling me it's nothing.
43:25Please, miss.
43:26Steph.
43:28Look, I know what you're worrying about.
43:29You read about it in the papers every day, don't you?
43:32Somebody gets bullied.
43:33They tell their parents.
43:34The parents complain to the school.
43:36And all that happens is the bully comes back at them even worse.
43:39Well, not this time.
43:41This bully is going to get a ton of bricks come down on her.
43:47Can you handle another?
43:49I'd better let my mum know.
43:51Only, I don't have my mobile.
43:53Well, I'm still allowed mine, aren't I?
43:55For the time being.
43:57Let me phone your mum.
44:00Why hasn't she contacted me?
44:02You don't get yourself in a state.
44:03Don't tell me how to behave.
44:04You're not a mother.
44:05Is he?
44:06It's only seven o'clock.
44:08Look, I know you feel guilty about Mika, but she's going to feel so much happier now.
44:11Lona's going.
44:13PHONE RINGS
44:16Hello?
44:17Hi, Izzy.
44:18It's Steph.
44:20Yeah, yeah, fine.
44:21Erm, just to let you know, I've got Mika with me.
44:25Yeah, we're just finishing going over some, erm, coursework.
44:29She'll be home in about half an hour, so I'll pop her in a taxi.
44:33Okay.
44:34Bye.
44:37Voila.
44:40Right.
44:41There is no way I'm allowing you to give up A-level French, so you're just going to have
44:45to be slyer than her.
44:47Slyer and more ruthless.
44:49Could never beat Leanne at her own game.
44:51Oh, you could, Mika.
44:53And you will.
44:55Trust me, it'll work.
44:58Can I, erm, have the same again, please?
45:05Well, I'm up for making a night of it.
45:07No wife waiting for you at Harman.
45:10No wife.
45:11No mistress.
45:12No nothing.
45:15I'm assuming it's the same for you.
45:17I'm not married, if that's what you're asking.
45:19Divorced?
45:20Nope.
45:22So, you'll need to tell me where Roger fits in the picture.
45:26Not very subtle, are you?
45:28I know he's a big fan of yours.
45:29Big fan of himself.
45:31Oh, haven't you noticed?
45:33Oh, yes.
45:35He likes to be in control.
45:38So maybe you're his plant.
45:40Checking things out.
45:42Feeding him back information.
45:45Excuse me.
45:52Roger.
45:53What can I do for you?
45:55Waterloo Road doesn't have a headmaster.
45:58Treneman's chucked it in.
46:00No.
46:01Really?
46:02I want you to take over again.
46:06Well, obviously I appreciate your renewed confidence in me, Roger, but, er, to be honest,
46:12I'm not sure I want to, given the hassles.
46:16I think we've all learnt something from this, Jack.
46:20You're the man for the job.
46:25You've been brilliant, miss.
46:26Well, just remember, whatever was said in there...
46:31...between you and me.
46:32I promise.
46:34Right.
46:35Well, get yourself off to your mum with a smile on your face, please.
46:43Bye.
47:00Hi, Mum.
47:02Tam.
47:02Sorry if you were worried about me.
47:04Me care.
47:06I want you to come and tell me what's wrong.
47:09Honest, Mum, I've just been a bit tense, that sort of what, with everything.
47:12I know.
47:13I know.
47:14And I want you to tell me what you've been tense about.
47:16And if it's Lona, then don't be.
47:18She's on her way out of here tonight.
47:20Oh, brilliant.
47:21Look, I'm dead tired.
47:22Can we talk about this in the morning?
47:24Okay, darling.
47:25Night.
47:26Cheers.
47:27Night.
47:28Night.
47:29Well, maybe we should get Steph to sort out Lona's problems, too.
47:33Mm.
47:34Before he's on in ten, I'll get a couple of cans.
47:37Not for me, darling.
47:39I never said they were for you.
47:42And don't worry about me.
47:43I'll soon talk to you when she's ready.
47:46My head is absolutely fried.
47:49Lorna.
47:51Oh, God, I'm so sorry.
47:52I didn't mean to interrupt.
47:54And perhaps we should have a special code so I know when to steer clear.
47:58Well, I hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew.
48:01Andrew wants me to take over as head of English.
48:03Eh?
48:04Say hello to your new boss.
48:08I've got a weak load of files and whatnot to get through here.
48:11Er, hang on a minute.
48:11You have got yourself a hotel room.
48:14You can't expect me to move into a hotel when I've got this lot to do, can you?
48:17Yeah.
48:18We can.
48:19Tom!
48:20Look, I know you want an evening to yourselves, but I really want to make a good impression on Andrew.
48:24No, I'll get her some drinks.
48:25I'll have a whisky.
48:28We need to get your stuff, put it in a suitcase and go.
48:31Tom, don't be like that.
48:32Now!
48:34Fine.
48:34I'll go and pack.
48:35Don't make a scene.
48:37Here you go.
48:38Er, not for me, darling.
48:39I'm gonna go and pack my bags.
48:41What?
48:42Let's stop pretending, Iz.
48:43No!
48:44Sit down, Lorna.
48:45It's Tom who can pack his bags.
48:46Oh, sod this.
49:08Don't worry, Iz.
49:09At least Tom's finally been direct with me.
49:10That's a breakthrough.
49:11I can't stand this.
49:17We'd always be friends, Izzy, you and I.
49:19You mustn't fall out with Tom on my account.
49:21Yeah, but why is it being so difficult?
49:23Mika got over herself.
49:24Why can't he?
49:25Well, he obviously still has some deep issues.
49:30Lorna?
49:32Lorna, are you all right?
49:33Hey!
49:34Lorna, what's wrong?
49:35I'm taking you to a hotel.
49:37Now!
49:37She's not going anywhere.
49:38She's sick!
49:39I'll stick my backside.
49:41Get your coat.
49:42Can you just give me a moment?
49:43Look!
49:43Just drop it, will ya?
49:44You're not staying here.
49:45Have you got that?
49:46Are you listening to me?
49:51Roger would hate this.
49:53Yeah?
49:55You seem to know him very well.
49:57Intimately, even.
50:01See?
50:02There you go again.
50:04Why don't you just ask me out, right?
50:06Are you having an affair with Roger Aspinall?
50:09Okay.
50:09Are you?
50:10No.
50:12Have you ever had an affair with Roger Aspinall?
50:16No.
50:17And shall I tell you why?
50:19Why?
50:19He's a creep.
50:21He's got his hands in too many places.
50:24That's not all.
50:25No, but Fleming isn't.
50:28Well, I'm surprised he recommended you for the job then.
50:32He just wanted me out of his office.
50:35I asked too many questions.
50:37What about his widgets?
50:42He hasn't got a clue what I know about him.
50:45And what's that then?
50:50What's he paying for this academy?
50:54Two million?
50:57Now that's a hell of a lot of money.
51:00Right, it's peanuts for him though, isn't it?
51:01His factory makes him a fortune.
51:04It doesn't make him a penny.
51:10It doesn't make him a penny.
51:11Yes, I did.
51:30It went chicken.
51:37You're using Cochran.
51:37It just brought him around.
51:38It started.
