Today you'll vote house captains. Lewis, you're Kingfisher captain.
You can't have an abortion just because Tom wants you to.
You're doing this behind his back?
"It's hell on Earth here. I don't know if I can cope much
longer. Please come and see me."
Ahmed, fancy earning yourself some dosh?
Lewis, if you could say, "deux chevaux," that way Haydock won't tell they're copies.
What's up? Jimmy, he's glued my locks. Hey, girls...
Need a lift? You swine!
Mum... It WAS him!
I'll be sending you a bill for fixing my car and a copy to the solicitors.
I'm not giving you anything until you let me see my daughters. Screw you!
You want to know how to beat the Kingfishers at homework?
Can I offer you a lift anywhere? You going my way?
What is it, Chloe? Mika's read your diary. She knows about you and Mr Clarkson.
What's wrong? Our baby...
isn't alive.
It was dead hard, like, you know. I mean... essays...
I'd rather do spelling and stuff.
I'm going to get a GCSE!
Maybe next time, you get a couple of wraps, yeah? Nah, you're all right.
Be brilliant seeing him off his face!
I don't do stuff...
You know? Drugs and that.
Hear him? "I don't do drugs an' that." What you talking about?
Everyone loves a buzz. Even you.
Be like one of them vindaloos up your nose... Come on.
You're doing my nut in, Speccy. Can't you go any faster?
It's me that's going to get it if we're found out. So?
- Just tell folk say you're helping people who aren't as swotty as you. - So shut it and get on.
Best week of attendance since I've been at Waterloo Road. Must be doing something right.
Have you seen the French grades?
Steph Haydock's making real progress.
Who knows, we might even have a couple of passes.
Steady on, Andrew.
We'll see.
I've got to hand it to you, though.
I had my doubts, as you know, but...
this house-system thing, I think it's actually working.
Would you let me carry it for you?
Give it to me. I'm fine, honestly.
It weighs a ton.
Are you feeling up to seeing everyone? I think so, yeah.
I've asked Izzie to let everyone know.
She'll be so relieved to see you back at school.
She was really worried when I told her.
She's a good friend. We're both lucky to have her.
Hey...
What? Any advance to report on your secret romance?
Don't think you're getting any details, Grantly.
But put it like this, the stunning improvements in my coursework are hardly likely to go unrewarded.
Don't think Jack will be thrilled with yours, though.
If only all I had to teach was menus, which seems to comprise the entire
French curriculum these days.
I mean, who can't translate "le roast beef", "le sandwich", eh?
"Le Big Mac". Well, you try teaching
the pluperfect to kids who can't even speak their own language. Hmm.
Well that, I do grant you, is a fair point either way.
Yeah, well, either way I'm winning, so...
Hi, guys. Hi, Iz.
I've got some photocopies to pick up from Estelle.
Aw...
- How's it going, Lorna? Fine, thanks. We've just got to look forward now. - That's the spirit, love.
What I always say is, "Every day is a new beginning," so you go for it.
Quick tea?
Oh, thanks, Iz.
I can't tell you...
Tom, how sweet he's been since...
I'm so glad, Lorna. You took such a big risk. I feel terrible I let you.
Don't. I mean, I might have had a miscarriage anyway, who knows?
But if we do get lucky with another baby, then Tom's going to love it
and that's what matters. Yeah.
Tom won't ever need to know any different, will he?
Well, he won't from me, of course he won't. Me neither. I'll never
lie to him about anything again.
MOBILE RINGS
Hang on.
What now? You know dead fine what.
You think I'm paying to fix your car locks, refusing me access to see me own kids?
DIALLING TONE
Right, you cow...
DIALS NUMBER
'Hi, it's Mika. Leave a message.'
Mika, it's your dad. I am going to sort out this mess once and for all. You just watch.
Hiya. Can you see make sure these get put up around the school?
Congratulations, Miss Haydock. Very impressive results you're achieving with your coursework.
Thank you, Headmaster. I'll be hoping to collate another good batch for you today.
All the better for saving the school. The LEA's definitely turning the heat up.
Let's hope we'll soon be doing the same, eh?
BELL RINGS
Left!
Andrew, I'm sorry about last week.
I was an idiot, and it's good to be given a second chance.
And I'm lucky that Lorna's done the same on the home front. Good. Excellent.
Just have to keep it up, won't we?
No worries. Well done, you.
Cheers. Thank you, Tom.
Appreciate your support.
Morning, Mr Treneman. Morning, Miss Campbell.
Make sure that your design has big, bold outlines
with positive and negative spaces, so that you can cut out your stencil.
Tiny details, thin lines just won't work, OK?
Once everybody has worked out a design, we'll pick the best one for each house
and we'll make it into a stencil.
The best design overall will win 10 house points, OK?
We'll just let Affi do it. She's our best drawer.
Lewis... Miss?
Did you do this homework yourself?
Yeah, Miss, took me two hours.
- What's gone wrong, then? You what? Well, why haven't you matched any of - your adjectives to their nouns? Eh?
And what's happened to your spelling?
Pomme de terre... P-O-M D-E T-E-A-R?
At least you've spelt your name right. Let's see.
- So, you're saying it's crap? Well, it's not up to your usual standards. - It better be.
SNIGGERS
Eh, tais-toi, you!
Nobody in this class is crap.
Especially not Lewis here. You see, Lewis, I'm even wearing your house colours today,
because overall I'm very pleased with the marks you're achieving. Now sit down.
What we have to do is keep up those high standards.
Every day and every way.
Right, Ahmed, stand up.
Correct spelling of pomme de terre, please?
Um...
P-O-M-M-E
D-E
T-E-R-R-E.
Well, they're all excellent.
- And art's one of those subjects where you can't easily say that one piece - of work is better than another.
Oh, go on, Miss, we done ours to win top marks.
Janeece, I know how the system works. So I am going to pick one winner.
And that is the one that was made with the best group collaboration.
And that one is...
The Robins.
No way! As if.
You'd better tell me what happened in French.
Eh? Don't crap me about, man.
I don't know what you mean. I'm paying you to get us "A"s, not "C"s. I'm sorry, Lewis.
Sorry? I'll make you sorry.
I forgot to take my French dictionary home last night.
I'll do it right next time, yeah?
I paid you to get it right THIS time!
Have you done what I paid ya?
Good.
Better not have told nobody. I haven't. Janeece...
What? I'm not sure if I want to do this anymore.
Who cares what you think?
BELL RINGS
It can't be.
KNOCK AT DOOR
Don't all rush at once.
How dare you disturb my coffee!
Sir, can I see my mum?
Is it an emergency? Yeah.
Miss Redpath, your daughter claims it's an emergency.
What is it, Mika? I'm late for my class.
Mum, I think Dad's on the roof.
What? Dressed as a bunny.
Jimmy, if that's you, I m going to kill you!
It is me!
And I'm not coming down until you accept that I'm entitled to see my daughters whenever I like.
What is it with these idiots? Think dressing up as Spiderman
proves they're fit to be parents?! Bloody opposite, if you ask me.
I'm sorry. I can't believe how much trouble we've caused this school.
Yeah, well, we can't cope with another disaster.
You'd better talk him down, and quick.
Oh, you've really done it this time.
Just pack your things and go before the headmaster calls the police.
Oh, for God's sake! What do you think you're going to achieve?
Your picture in the paper, so everyone can see how stupid you are?
You're just showing your kids up.
If you wanted to do right by them you'd get a proper job instead of messing with mine.
Just... just go, Jimmy!
You have forfeited your rights.
Get off me! Stop it, that's enough!
Any more aggro and I'm going to jump.
Get in. And I want it in writing, Izzie!
He's just trying to get his own back, make out I'm a witch because I've been so unfair to him.
He can't do it on my school roof. We've got the spotlight on us enough already.
And I definitely do not want another visit from the cops.
We'll also need the fire brigade
and ambulance if he's threatening to jump.
He won't jump. Risk his own precious life? We've got to think about the risk to our kids here.
That's what I AM thinking of. If we get the cops involved,
then the bloody press gets wind.
- Do you think the LEA are going to tolerate another drama? They can't - blame us for it. Can't they?
"Member of staff in custody battle"? I won't sign my kids over to him,
so don't ask me to. I'm not.
We're just discussing our options,
that's all. I could give it a shot, if you like.
Hi. Mr Grainger, isn't it?
I'm Andrew Treneman, deputy head teacher. Stop there.
I'd like to be in my class teaching my pupils. Two of whom are your daughters.
Yeah. Get their mum to agree me access in writing, and I'll be off as well, OK?
She's not going to agree to anything, Mr Grainger.
Certainly not under duress. Duress?! I'M the one that's under duress, not being allowed to see my kids.
This isn't going to help. Have you got any children? Have you? No, but...
Then, you don't understand a father's grief, having your own flesh and blood taken away from you.
Look, Mr Grainger, my responsibility is to ensure the survival of Waterloo Road.
I'm asking you... please...
If you want to stage this form of protest, do it elsewhere.
Or your daughters could very soon lose their school.
Yeah, well, you can blame their selfish mother if that happens.
I'm taking this action so they don't lose their dad.
BELL RINGS
Well? He's...
Waste of time. I've a good mind to go up there and chuck him off myself.
Let's get them back inside.
Hey, back inside!
Every dad has got the right to see his kids, right? Yeah!
Dad!
Can you believe this? No, I flaming don't.
What an idiot! I'm just trying to
show my girls what they mean to me.
You're showing us up. Get down!
It's all a man can do now is protest.
Cos the courts - they never listen to the dads. It's all what the mother wants.
Right, everyone inside now! You've got 10 seconds.
Anyone left outside will lose their house points.
You two as well. I hate you for this!
I'm absolutely mortified.
The kids are going to be impossible next period.
I could just kill him. I don't know what he's playing at. He's trying to embarrass me.
- I mean, making demands, it's - laughable. He used to see them maybe twice a month for five minutes.
There's nothing I can say to make you feel better, is there?
I just can't bear my next class.
I'm free. I can take it for you if you like.
No, I didn't mean that.
Let him... You're a star.
Have another cup of tea.
I'll send the farmer after him, eh?
Sorry? Get your dad off the roof.
♪ Run rabbit, run rabbit... ♪ I know you don't like him,
but I don't want him off the roof.
It's just your mum's a bit upset, that's all.
You know why that is, don't you?
Everyone's got it in for my dad, but it's not him to blame.
Well, no-one forced him on to the roof.
Sir, there's no point in pretending.
I know it's true. Know what's true?
About you and my mum.
I think you're going to have to explain yourself.
What do you mean, me and your mum?
I don't know. Just get the feeling something's going on. There's nothing going on, all right?
Well, Mrs Clarkson knows there is.
Eh? Cos her and Mum had a secret meeting. What meeting?
Last week, after school. The day Zoe had her baby.
Mum wouldn't even tell us where she was meeting her, it was that secret.
So maybe you'd better ask Mrs Clarkson what SHE knows.
Kids need dads! Kids need dads!
Izzie... Last week, did you go with Lorna for her check-up?
Yeah, yeah, I did.
So...
I don't get this. Why, when I told you she'd lost the baby, did you pretend you didn't know about it?
I just thought that...
What's going on, Izzie?
Izzie? Look, Tom...
I've got enough going on out there.
You're going to have to speak to Lorna.
- I can't see any way of getting him down, other than getting the police. - Well, there's the weather.
Where's the bloody rain when you need it?
We've got everybody moving to lunch in half an hour.
- Do we know what he's got with him in terms of food or whatever? He's - got a bloody Primus stove up there.
He can't be planning on sleeping in that suit. We don't know what he's planning.
I strongly recommend that we call...
Kim, let's organise a lunchtime disco or something. A disco?
Well, something to keep them happy. You know, loud as. Let's drown him out, eh?
Estelle... Yes, Headmaster?
Staff announcement. All pupils to be lined up to go to lunch via the back door.
After lunch they'll be escorted to the assembly hall.
No-one to leave the building without my permission, OK? Right-o.
You've no objection if I head off to collect your dry-cleaning? Just don't talk to any bunnies, right?
Anyone know a good rain dance?
Yeah, hello, this is Tom Clarkson.
My wife Lorna Clarkson she came in for a pregnancy check-up last week.
I'm just wondering if you can bring her details up for me, please.
Yeah, Lorna Clarkson.
No, she definitely did. Last week.
A pregnancy check-up. Er...
Thursday.
No, I just...
Are you absolutely sure?
Oh, she must have got muddled up, that's all right.
Yeah. Thanks for your time.
Thanks, bye. Bye.
BELL RINGS
Why are we not getting a lunch break?
Is it because Chloe's dad's on the roof? Hurry along.
You're going to listen to me until you're sick of the sound of my voice.
Kids need dads!
Miss, me and my mates would rather play football than go inside, wouldn't we, Ahmed?
Do you think the headmaster sent that order round to have you question it? Quickly!
He's only jealous cos we're smashing Kingfishers in maths. We got four "A" s in our coursework.
Yeah, but you're doing crap in French! Excuse me, will you two stop with the competitive stuff right now.
Thought that's what it was all about. Trying to win. No! The houses are there to help you.
And all the rest of the pupils. Learn what it means to be a part of a team.
You're doing really well so far, so don't spoil it by going over the top, yeah?
Come on, shift through.
Come on, chop-chop!
Got a surprise for you, Ahmed.
So meet me after school. What surprise?
Instead of those wraps I promised, I made you a space cake instead.
I don't want it.
After I've gone to all this trouble?
You'll eat it, and you'll say thank you.
Oi! What you saying to Ahmed? And what's it to you?
Nothing.
Just want a word with you later, Ahmed.
I need to ask you something.
I don't understand what's going on, Lorna.
Why didn't you tell me Izzie was with you when you had your miscarriage?
Why did she pretend to me that she didn't know anything about it?
She went with you when you had your check-up, didn't she?
Why, what's she said to you?
Did you go for a check-up, Lorna?
Of course I did. Tell me the truth!
Because you didn't go to the surgery. They've just told me!
So what else don't I know?
Where were you when you lost the baby?
Tom... not now.
What are you covering up?
If Izzie was with you when you lost the baby, when it happened,
then why would she pretend it was all a great shock to her? Why wouldn't you want to tell me that?
Because I asked her to. What?
Because I didn't want you to know.
I had an abortion, Tom.
Tom, please say something.
You aborted our baby? I had to. You didn't want it.
Oh, my God, Lorna... It was the wrong time. It was going to break us up.
Izzie knew about this? She knew what you were doing, she knew you were having an abortion?
- She tried to talk me out of it. - Why didn't you talk to ME about it?!
Because I didn't want to burden you with it. It was my decision. It was my baby too!
I did it for us. You made me feel it was impossible to have it.
You lied to me. Again!
Tom, please can't you see why?
I feel like an idiot, to be honest.
Although it's not hard to see where they get the idea.
Of all the stupid... Don't go there.
Oh...
You believe there's such a thing as youth culture? Of course.
Oxymoron, as far as I'm concerned. Excuse me.
Well, at least we tried.
I mean, you can't say they're not loyal to their houses, can you?
Oi, oi! Got another job for you.
- Janeece, maybe cheating isn't the best way to beat the Kingfishers, - you know what I mean?
Maybe you'd get a better buzz winning fair and square?
Don't start, Ahmed, not after taking 50p a jotter off me and writing crap
for it. I'll give it you back.
I don't want it back, I just want the right answers in them.
And if you're worried Lewis Seddon's going to find out, don't. Cos he's as thick as Wayne Rooney. Go on.
Hey, you!
You messed up our work for her?
I needed the money. My dad's lost
his job. We've got nothing to eat.
I'll give you this to eat if you don't shut it with your lies.
He can work for anybody he wants. He's not working for anybody no more
cos he's going to swing for this.
So you meet me behind the bike sheds after school. Cos I'll be waiting.
Jack was right. They weren't ready for the responsibility.
They don't know how to be responsible. Their lives are chaotic.
We need children to think for themselves. But they just need a decent set of values.
The problem is, they don't have YOUR values. Well, obviously I need to be tougher on myself.
Oh, Andrew, will you stop beating yourself up about it. There's things that have worked.
I mean, it's definitely improved behaviour-wise.
We've got the school sprayed with graffiti! But it's not a reason
to give up on the whole system.
We just need to take things more slowly, that's all.
Miss...
I want to see you in my room right now.
Janeece, come with me.
Lewis...
You've made your point. How long are you going to stay there? As long as it takes.
You're looking like a complete prat.
No-one gives a damn.
Because you've kept all the kids
indoors. No, because every journalist in the city's at another incident.
So you'll get no publicity.
Soon as night falls, the police'll come in and move you down.
Izzie Redpath is an unfit mother.
She drinks too much
and she's up to her eyes in debt.
Pack it in, pal, eh? You've had your say.
You're trespassing. Sue me.
Nobody's listening to you, so get stuffed!
Estelle! I'm sorry, Headmaster, I just couldn't refrain myself.
Just give me a break, please, eh? I've got a school to run here.
It's not easy with a muppet like you on the roof.
If you cared about this school like you say you do,
you'd get Izzie to make sure that I get access to my kids.
Else I'll get my own publicity.
I've got my own camera right here.
I'll send pictures straight to the news desk. Say cheese!
Tell her she's got one last chance...
or else!
It was Lewis who done it first.
It was his idea to pay Ahmed for his homework.
And you followed lemming-like?
No, I just copied him.
Do you know what really annoys me, Janeece, is I was the one who argued
so that you could elect your own captains.
And then you let me down badly.
Thought you'd have been pleased we all got good marks.
Pleased we've got a cheat and a liar as captain of a house?
I'm not a liar. Don't answer back.
And you're a bully.
Why, Janeece?
Hey, what's wrong with fair and free competition?
Lewis was cheating. You can't be a cheat if you cheat someone that's cheating.
Are you incapable of getting good
marks on your own? Yeah. Why's that?
I'm a muppet. Sorry?
I'm thick. I'm rubbish at everything.
This was your chance to prove that you were a good leader, Janeece.
Come back in.
You will go to the caretakers and ask for a bucket and scrubbing brush and take off every stencil you see.
People should clean their own graffiti. Or spend yet another session in the cooler.
Sir, I'll clean them all.
I hope this'll teach you - cheats never prosper.
It's us that's been cheated on! Rimmer said he'd give us money.
I think he was joking, Lewis.
Joking? So we were in it for nothing?
We got tricked into it. Don't be ridiculous. We flaming did!
Speak to me like that again and you won't be at school much longer. Look, it's clean up or cooler.
Lewis, it's up to you. And there's going to be new captains of the Canaries and the Kingfishers.
Big deal.
Don't know what we can boast in the way of coursework now.
Izzie, you'll have to think of something clever.
Otherwise I've got to call in the cops. Just let me talk to him. I know what'll get him down. Jack...
my latest coursework results.
I think you'll be very pleased.
Have you not heard the news?
Two of the house captains have been organising a mass cheating.
You what?
Lewis Seddon and Janeece Bryant.
I'm calling a crisis meeting. All the coursework from their houses is as good as useless.
Just hear me out, Mika. We all need to help get your dad off the roof
because he could fall and hurt himself.
Say you'll agree with what he wants then.
That's what we've got to sort out.
He needs to be clear exactly when it is he wants to see you.
- And if, for instance, he would want to take you away on holiday maybe - for a couple of weeks.
And then... I would see if that was all right with you.
Well, it's not all right with me.
- You see what I mean? He can't make me agree to let him see you - as and when he wants, can he?
You won't let him see us at all.
I will, Mika.
If he agrees to take proper care of you,
then I would let him have you every other weekend. No way.
You stay with Mum then, cos that'd be brilliant.
Let's just go up there and talk about it sensibly
and we'll try and work something out, yeah?
Come on.
I'm gonna murder that little grasser, Patel.
It should be him getting done for what he's done to me.
Just forget about it, Lewis. Rules are rubbish in here.
My own rules, innit? No-one grasses me up and gets away with it.
It's you won't get away with it. Treneman'll see to that.
And I'll be paying him back and all.
Big time.
Jimmy, are you listening?
What?
I've got Miss Redpath and your daughters here. They want to talk to you.
Great. Send 'em on up.
No. You come down here.
Are you joking me? No way.
Do you want to risk your daughters' lives as well as your own,
clambering up here in the sodding rain?
Look, just come down here and talk to them, will you?
So you girls managed to talk your mum round to seeing some sense, eh?
Listen Jimmy, let's just get this done quickly.
I want you to tell the girls how often you want them at yours, how many weeks' holidays,
and promise me that you'll look after them.
Well, whooaahh. We don't have to set a schedule, do we?
Just as long as you let me see them when I want.
Tell them what that means.
Just say every other weekend and two weeks holiday, Dad.
That'd be great, but we have to see how things pan out.
You know, I can't just promise.
Why not?
Cos I could be in the studio, I could be on the road, doing a gig.
I have to fit looking after the girls in around my work,
but I thought you'd want to share, y'know, at least at weekends.
You do, don't you Dad?
All this is about is me getting you to accept that I've got rights. Talk about details later.
You don't have rights without responsibilities.
They're entitled to know what I'm agreeing to.
So you're still not listening to me then, are you?
No, Dad. She's covering up for what
she's guilty of. And I can prove it.
You photographed Mum's diary? Listen Mika...
I've stopped your dad seeing you
because he stopped his cheques.
I didn't want you to think he didn't care, but I don't think he does.
Why should I pay for what I don't get? Because you owe it to them.
What's Mum saying, Dad?
That you don't pay her for having us? Course he pays her for us.
He hasn't paid anything since he moved out.
That's the truth, Mika, ask him.
Is that true, Dad? Dad?!
Listen sweetheart, you don't understand.
Why don't you just go back up there and jump?
Just go before you make it worse for her.
And don't think about going back up there, it's locked.
Mika, Mika love.
Don't think bad of me.
I showed you how much you meant to me up on the roof, didn't I?
You should've paid Mum what you're supposed to.
I will sort something out with her, yeah?
I promise. Whatever.
Well, you won that one.
Obviously I take full responsibility for my own disaster.
Most of the graffiti's been removed.
Kids, eh. They turn everything on its head, don't they?
You give them a system and their first instinct is to cheat it.
I hadn't expected them to be so...
tribal.
That's what happens when you've got nothing.
Or you've got nothing to give?
- Well, we're not abandoning it over a few teething problems. - I think it's working.
I wouldn't say they were teething problems... Andrew.
Don't wimp out on me.
I told you how damned hard this job was when I interviewed you.
Do you think we're going to let a
couple of morons hijack it for us?
- Leave him, - let the little grass go cack himself.
Izzie...
Lorna, I think Tom knows something.
I've told him.
And? He's devastated, just like you said he would be.
You've just got to go home and talk to him about it. Home? What's that?
Don't be silly. Look, I can't deny I think you've made a big mistake, but Tom'll forgive you.
I don't know if I can forgive myself.
I have been deceitful. I've been a bloody idiot.
You were desperate, it makes us
do stupid things. I should know.
You'd never have done what I did, Izzie.
You take the car.
I'll get the bus.
Right.
Thanks.
I'll see you at home.
I'll come back here for you, and then we'll go out for tea.
Burger? If that's what you want.
S'pose I'll train your taste buds one of these days.
Can't afford to.
Right, well as long as you know that you both mean the world to me. Got to go.
What are you doing? I'm going to visit Donte.
Hey? Don't say, Mika. I'll be back before Mum.
You're mad. Got to see him. Promise you won't say anything?
All right.
Give us an hand.
You got money for the bus?
Right, shot each, you jump in.
I want the rest of you in turns to head the ball in the net,
jumping as high as you can.
Tom? I hope this is the last conversation we have.
I couldn't tell you. It wasn't my secret to tell.
- Some things you don't keep secret, like when someone's baby's murdered. - It's not a baby.
It is - sorry, was - to me.
I thought it may have meant something to you, your best friend expecting a baby?
I couldn't have been more wrong. John, you come out...
Hiya. Hi. Are you all right?
Donte?
How's Waterloo Road?
What do you think? Scuzz hole.
Yeah, well, bet it's ten million times better than in here.
I'm gonna do it.
There's no way you're staying in here a minute longer.
I'll make a confession,
it was me driving the car.
If I hadn't stolen my dad's limo... It was down to me that it crashed.
Yeah but... Donte, there's no other way.
- If there's one argument against this GCSE coursework nonsense, - then surely this is it?
How could any teacher think this
was the work of the same child?
Steph Haydock is the teacher equivalent of Janeece and Lewis.
So if you get a teacher who cheats, you've a built-in advantage?
- Sit them all down on the same day with the same exam, that's equality. - No, that's memory work.
- And when did we decide that memory work was something to be despised? - Late 70s?
Early 80s? And who decided?
Andrew, what seems to hack you off is that working class kids do well at coursework.
Hang on... OK guys. Don't we have more important things to worry about here?
Like how we sort out this mess.
Andrew!
What the bloody hell...
Oh, my God.
You see to him, I'll...
You're lucky, there's no glass in it.
Great. Need to see a doctor, though.
No, honestly, I'll be fine.
I'm taking you to casualty.
No arguments. I'm not dizzy.
I'm just bloody angry. You don't know what you are.
You've had a blow to the head, you could wake up dead.
Well, fine, but you don't have to mother me. I'll call a cab.
Look, I'm not being ungrateful, Kim,
but I'm sure you've got other plans for tonight.
- I've got a cab number somewhere. - Not a bloody sign of 'em.
You all right, Andrew? I'm going to take him to the hospital.
You know who did this, don't you?
Course, yeah, Lewis Seddon, but try and prove it.
With no witnesses, his parents would have us up in court like
that for false accusation.
They wonder why teachers leave the profession.
Look, why don't you get off to hospital and I'll sort this lot out.
I'm a selfish cow, aren't I?
I can't believe what I've done to you.
It was me that caused the accident.
I let you take all the blame.
Babes, babes, come on, we're both to blame. And that's the truth.
But this way, neither of us have to spend years locked away in a dump like this.
You're sure you're right about what'll happen?
I promise, Chlo,
if we both say we done it, we both get off.
Cos we're cancelling each other out. That's what the law says.
I'm going to top myself if I have to stay in here.
I love you, Donte.
I promise,
I'm going to do this.
BUZZER SOUNDS
Soon as we get out of here, you and me's going to get engaged.
Engaged? I'm too young, aren't I?
No-one's saying we're going to get hitched.
That can happen when you're 16.
Why, you saying you don't want to?
No! I just...
wasn't expecting it.
Well, there's a lot of things you'll get you won't expect.
See you on the outside, yeah?
Yeah.
OK, maybe you won't wake up dead...
Sir, what happened?
Someone bash you on the head?
Andrew.
I want a word with you, Seddon.
The rest of you, off the premises.
Now!
You think you've put one over on me.
What? I know you threw that brick.
Someone threw a brick at you, sir?
Now why would somebody do that?
Not against the rules to have fun, is it?
Just get yourself off home, Lewis, scram.
Was him that stopped me, Miss.
Thought you were going to hit him then. I almost bloody well did...
What's happening to me, Kim?
I have never in my entire career even thought of hitting...
I have. In fact I've fantasised about it.
So don't be so hard on yourself.
I did exactly what he wanted me to do.
Let him get to me.
Lewis Seddon will be dealt with.
OK, so just get yourself in the car.
Just drop me off, then. I don't want to keep you from your boyfriend.
Erm... sorry? Christopher?
He's my brother, he's not my boyfriend.
Oh...
Sorry, I thought...
Are you going to shut up now?
WHISTLE BLOWS
Right, OK everyone, wind it up now.
Well done, everyone.
Tom, can you just listen to what I've got to say? Nope.
It was the most difficult decision I ever made.
Mine was marrying Lorna. I discussed it with you first. You told me to go ahead.
Fine, make me out to be the bad one. The truth's a whole lot different.
The truth! No-one tells me the truth about anything.
Tom, before you married Lorna you told me you loved me.
Then Lorna tells me she's having
your baby, then she has an abortion.
Think about it. If I'd have told you,
you might have split up and then I'd have had to live with the guilt.
You're doing my head in. Yeah? You and Lorna are doing mine in, so just leave me out of it.
Oh, you made it.
Ran all the way from the bus stop.
I don't know why you keep going back to him.
Because he's the best.
Donte wants us to get engaged.
Don't be stupid, you're 14.
Eh, there's no law says you can't get engaged.
Yep, we want everyone to know that we're a couple.
You said yes to him?
Mum is going to go ape.
Why d'you keep getting on her nerves?
Gran never liked Dad, but it never stopped Mum from being with him.
And what if Donte goes to prison?
Well, then I'll wait for him.
Chlo, you're being daft.
It isn't a proper marriage if your husband's in prison.
Not everything's about sex, Mika.
I'm worried how Mum's going to take this, Chlo.
Don't tell her then.
I didn't expect you to still be here.
Well, lucky for you, I was working late, as usual.
I'm after your coursework. Oh, coursework schmourse-work.
Heaven preserve us from league tables, eh, Jack?
Now tell me the real reason you're here.
Because I'm prepared to drop my plans like that
if you want a date. Is it in there?
Well, for goodness sake, why can't it wait until Monday morning?
I was just about to leave.
You're not going to have much of a weekend if you take all that home.
We're going to be here all night, aren't we? Well, to tell you the truth, yes, we are.
I'm not exactly the best filer in the world.
In fact, if you found a family of gerbils living in there, I wouldn't be surprised.
But if you've got a few hours?
Then maybe we can have a little late night snack after?
Just make sure you get them to Estelle by Monday morning, all right?
Not a problem.
Feel dead bad now I know what went on with Dad not paying nothing.
You saying you'd have felt sorry for her?
I just wish she'd have told us.
Well, she couldn't, could she?
She didn't want to hurt us.
Listen, you won't say anything to her about me and Donte, yeah?
Let's go out and have a fantastic night together.
Mum, you know when people say sorry and they don't mean it?
Mmm. Well, I really, really do.
Let's go and pig out.
Can we just go home instead?
If that's what you'd rather.
Chlo?
I think I've found a civilised way for us to proceed.
So we can both get out of this marriage and stay friends.
That is if you're not too angry with me?
What d'you mean?
No more lies, Tom.
So we've just got to be grown up and...
Lorn...
No, don't, I'm fine.
This is the only thing that I have ever done that's been any good for us.
- See, I thought that if we each take a share of the bills till - the house is sold, then...
Sell the house? Well, unless you want to buy me out, of course.
Which is fine by me.
You just have a think and let me know when I get back.
Back from where? I'm going to my mum's for the weekend.
I'm taking the car, if that's all right?
Don't you think we should we talk about this now? No, Tom.
I'm really sorry.
I'm really sorry too, Lorna.
I'd better get going. You take care.
Oh, you did it!
Are you going to live up to that?
That was so out! That was in your eye!
Sorry, sorry, my turn...
Rubbish, try again.
My turn.
Yes!
Mum? Mmmm?
Did you ever love Dad? For real?
Course.
So, why did you never get married?
I just didn't fancy it, being given away by my dad.
Disgusting when you think about it.
Maybe one of us'll get married.
Not me. Not till I'm about 50, anyway.
Good for you, Mika.
Right, catch.
JIMMY: I've just posted you a cheque.
For the car locks.
There's a fiver in it for each of the girls an' all.
Not enough for a decent pair of tights, but it's a start.
OK, Mika,
one more chance...
It was just on the edge.
Nearly good, come on.
I went to see Donte today, Mum.
Chlo, you'd better be joking me.
How many times have I told you, you do not mix with that criminal.
If he's a criminal, so am I.
Chlo, a criminal is someone who goes out to do wrong.
You just happened... No, not if they don't know what they're doing,
cos of drink and drugs and things.
I know you were drinking that night, darling, but you weren't driving the car.
I'm sorry, Mum...
What you talking about?
I'm going to tell them the truth.
It wasn't Donte driving the car that night.
It was me.
You know what's going on. Yes, I do. It wasn't Donte driving the car that night, it was me.
And I'm going to make a confession.
She's lying.
What do you mean she's lying?
I've changed my mind,
I'm going to plead guilty.
French silk,
I got it especially for you.
There comes a point when passive
sniping tips over into obstruction
and that's something I won't tolerate! Are you threatening me?
