0:00:34 > 0:00:36Ah, Dad.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37All right.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40'We're just calling to wish you good luck, son.'
0:00:40 > 0:00:41- Thanks.- 'Remember what we said.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43'Keep your answers to the point.'
0:00:43 > 0:00:45'Don't digress, but if you do,
0:00:45 > 0:00:48'don't be afraid to ask them to repeat the question.'
0:00:48 > 0:00:50OK, thanks, Dad. I'll call you later, OK?
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Oh, babe. Listen,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55printed it off and put it right here. Here.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58What was the point in me buying you that sat nav?
0:00:58 > 0:01:02- It takes me all round the houses. - You hate being told what to do.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- It's got an American accent. It vexes me.- For goodness' sake...
0:01:05 > 0:01:06I like maps. I'm weird.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09You're impossible when you're like this.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Oh, great, cheers.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15It's my pleasure. Now hurry up.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Your deputy head has a new set of wheels?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- He's not MY deputy head. - He wants to be.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- He does not.- Yes, he does.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Bet he wears sunglasses indoors.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35I hope it goes well today.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Remember, be yourself.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Your application was fantastic.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42A "good luck" will suffice.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Good luck.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Thanks.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Try to relax, Sam. You'll come across as a mentalist.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Say hello to your parents for me.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Yeah.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56See you Sunday.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Bye.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06- Let's go!- Yeah.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31It was nice to meet you, Mr Russell.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33So, unless there's anything else...
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- There is.- I'm sorry?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38There is something else.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40I know I'm crap...
0:02:41 > 0:02:43..not very good in these situations,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I get nervous,
0:02:45 > 0:02:49but if I leave now without saying what I should say...
0:02:49 > 0:02:50I'll be gutted.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Go for it.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Uh...
0:02:58 > 0:03:00My dad, right,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02is one of the brightest men I know.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06But...he was programmed
0:03:06 > 0:03:07for manual work
0:03:07 > 0:03:09so he's a...
0:03:10 > 0:03:11..well, manual worker.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16He encouraged me and my sister to study, work hard
0:03:16 > 0:03:19and do something important.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21So why did I waste my time at school
0:03:21 > 0:03:24and end up on the building sites?
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Well, the truth is...
0:03:25 > 0:03:29I didn't find any of the lessons that inspiring, you know?
0:03:29 > 0:03:33My girlfriend is a teacher, primary school, and she's good at it.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36She encouraged me to study. She thinks I could be good at it too.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37So do I.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42I know this school has a bit of a reputation
0:03:42 > 0:03:43but that's what excites me.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46If someone is into hip-hop,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49let's re-imagine a Shakespeare play as a rap.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Show them that Shakespeare felt exactly the same then as we do now
0:03:53 > 0:03:56but he used language and poetry
0:03:56 > 0:03:59to express how he felt about the struggles of being alive
0:03:59 > 0:04:03and let them know he was speaking to us all, not just a select few
0:04:03 > 0:04:05like a lot of people would think. That's important.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09Er...
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Well...
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Sorry, I kind of went off on one then, didn't I?
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Not at all.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23We'll be in touch.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25OK.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Uh, thank you.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Pleasure. Thank you.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48- 'Samuel?'- Didn't feel like it had my name on it, Dad.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50'What do you mean?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52'You didn't go off on one, did you?'

0:05:15 > 0:05:16Eddie!
0:05:16 > 0:05:17So, how'd it go?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Not good.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Ah. Oh, well. Don't worry about it.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23'The van wouldn't start
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- 'so all in all, not a good day. - What are you on later?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I'm getting wasted with you and the boys.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31You off the leash, then?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- She's at her mum's for the weekend.- Oh, nice.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Things ain't too good there either, though, bro.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39She giving you grief?
0:05:39 > 0:05:40It's me, not her.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44I've had my head in all this, not been giving her enough attention.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47You've always been a bit of a self-centred git.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Yes, thank you. That is great news.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10That is great news, thank you.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Connie! You see what happens when you put your mind to it, boy?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Let me talk to him.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17SHE LAUGHS
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Congratulations, son.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22'Mum, thanks.'

0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Stop talking about it! Come on.- No!
0:06:33 > 0:06:36He's on probation the first year, anyway.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39He'll rock back up at the site, begging for his old job.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41He'll be back.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Listen, no chance, bro. I ain't messing this up no way, no how.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Listen, listen, seriously.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50They're pretty eyes, anyone ever tell you that? I'm joking. Listen!
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- This is serious business, my friend!- Yes, yes.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56What are you going to do about all them fit sixth formers there?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- No, I'm serious! - Don't talk nasty to me, yeah?
0:06:58 > 0:07:02I am buzzing right now. I am buzzing. Let's celebrate!
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- He's going to do it!- Celebrate!
0:07:04 > 0:07:07My boy! 'Scuse me? What you laughing at? This is my brother.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Pretty girl, nice to meet you. How's it going? Hey!
0:07:11 > 0:07:13My boy over here, he's about to...
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Come in, both of you, both of you.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22This is a bar... There's two types of bar.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24One more! Come on!
0:07:24 > 0:07:26MUSIC THROBS
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Oh, Sophie!
0:08:01 > 0:08:03How is he?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06He's unconscious. They're doing tests. Mum...
0:08:06 > 0:08:09What the hell happened? Were you fighting?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- Dad, no.- Every time, it's the same damn thing.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12No, he fell.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Eugene, don't.- Remember when they were chased by bouncers?
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- Dad, listen.- I thanked God when Naomi came on the scene.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- You guys are nothing but trouble! - Sam fell and banged his head.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Eddie saved his life by getting him here so quickly.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I'm sorry.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34It's OK, Mr Russell.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Sorry.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Has anyone called Naomi?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42'Sam has a fractured skull.'
0:08:42 > 0:08:46There's some bleeding in the left temporal lobe
0:08:46 > 0:08:49but it's difficult to assess the severity of the injury
0:08:49 > 0:08:51due to the swelling in the brain.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55We need to bring the swelling down and make a proper assessment.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Are we talking a life-threatening situation here?
0:08:58 > 0:09:02The next 24 hours will be crucial.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Essentially, we've put Sam into a temporary induced coma.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Would you please answer my question?
0:09:10 > 0:09:15Any traumatic injury can send the body into shock.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17It could be life threatening.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Oh, my God.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23But he's an otherwise healthy young man
0:09:23 > 0:09:24so, let's wait and see, yes?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50My baby.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Not a mark on him.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01When are they going to try and bring him round again? It's been hours.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Earlier,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I thought,
0:10:16 > 0:10:17if he dies...
0:10:19 > 0:10:23..I'll kill myself and the pain will stop.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27But there's Sophie...
0:10:28 > 0:10:30..and little Adam.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37SHE SOBS
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Everything was going so well for him.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48And now this.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Why?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53What?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Why get so drunk?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59You need to eat.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01It's always the same.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Your blood sugar is low.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Ever since he was a child, he always did as he wanted to,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11never thinking of the consequences.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Now listen to me, Eugene Russell.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18I will not allow you to bring all this negativity
0:11:18 > 0:11:20into the room where my boy
0:11:20 > 0:11:23is fighting his way home to us.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27So take a moment to eat, and breathe.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Then come back.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35You see, it have mayonnaise.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Connie, you know I don't like mayonnaise!
0:11:45 > 0:11:47He that dwelleth...
0:11:48 > 0:11:51..in the secret place of the Most High
0:11:51 > 0:11:54shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Still here after all these years.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10I know I don't have any patience
0:12:10 > 0:12:12and I know I can be harsh sometimes.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19And I'm...
0:12:19 > 0:12:21not too keen on mayonnaise.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25I'm sorry about that.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32But if there's anyone out there...
0:12:34 > 0:12:36God...
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Allah...
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Buddha...
0:12:48 > 0:12:52..take me instead of my boy.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Please?
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Eugene?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Quickly!
0:13:13 > 0:13:16So, yeah. Eddie's our hero now.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Never thought we'd say that, eh?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29All right, Dad?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32How you feeling, boy? How you feeling?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Easy. Easy, boy.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37You scared us, though, hey?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42You'll be OK. You'll be all right.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I can't wait to get out of here.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49So depressing.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52That Mr Reece is a good man.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53He said you'll be fine.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Yeah...yeah, he's all right.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Apart from him being a Tottenham supporter...
0:13:58 > 0:14:01THEY CHUCKLE
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Glass me that... Sapp...
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- The glass?- Hmm.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09There you are.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Mum, will you stop?!
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Hey, Connie,
0:14:15 > 0:14:19why don't we go home? They say he'll be getting tired very easily.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21He wants us gone. We'll be gone.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24I didn't say you should go.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26If I'm starting to annoy you,
0:14:26 > 0:14:30you're getting back to your old self again. That suits me fine.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35All right, boy? Easy now.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36THEY LAUGH
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Was I rude?
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Yes.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49SAM WINCES
0:14:51 > 0:14:53You OK?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56I just hope they're telling me everything.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Why wouldn't they?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Suppose there are long-term effects,
0:15:02 > 0:15:04suppose I have more fits,
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- suppose my personality changes? They may not know everything.- Hey!
0:15:08 > 0:15:10You're here. You're fine,
0:15:10 > 0:15:12and you are you.
0:15:16 > 0:15:17I hope so, baby.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Yeah, everything is good.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I promise.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39You sure you don't want to stay with us for a few days?
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- I'll make sure he doesn't move from the sofa.- Here.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Get under the duvet and watch TV all day.- Bye!
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Bye.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59You all right, hun?
0:15:59 > 0:16:00Um...
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Yeah, yeah, fine.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- Bye, sweets.- Bye. Dad.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Call if you need anything, eh?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14How about this one?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17It's been ages since we watched it.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Hey, come here for a sec, please, babe.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22What is it?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Can you read what it says on the side of that van?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Yeah, why?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31I can't. Not properly.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33What do you mean?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35I couldn't read the newspaper...
0:16:36 > 0:16:37I don't understand.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39The words, the words,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42they're not making any sense. Look.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46What's this called? What's it called?
0:16:46 > 0:16:47Journals From The Past.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Nur...nur...nurj...
0:16:50 > 0:16:54I can't make out the words!
0:16:54 > 0:16:55Can you see all right?
0:16:55 > 0:17:00Yeah, it's just, the words don't seem to be computing. I knew it.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02You're exhausted.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Mr Reece said not to over-tire yourself.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- What does this say? - Planning Lessons.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10It might as well be written in Chinese.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Are you in pain?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I've got floaters in my eyes and I still feel a bit hazy.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Should I call the hospital?- No.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21No.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25You've had a huge trauma.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Your body's under all kinds of stress.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Sleep.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31See how you feel later.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Yeah.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Yeah.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Don't worry about that now.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48It might well be a psychological reaction.
0:17:48 > 0:17:53Your fear that the injury has, in some way, changed things...
0:17:53 > 0:17:57It's possible it could have caused a sort of mental block.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00But you don't know for sure, do you?
0:18:00 > 0:18:01No, I'm afraid not.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05OK. Well,
0:18:05 > 0:18:07how do we sort it, make it right, then?
0:18:09 > 0:18:13People react differently. It may rectify itself in days
0:18:13 > 0:18:15or it may take months.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18I'm starting a teaching job soon.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23I'll arrange for you to see a speech and language therapist.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24How long will that take?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26About two weeks.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31They'll assess you and we'll take it from there.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33In these situations, it's not uncommon
0:18:33 > 0:18:36for the brain to forget things it once knew.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38I won't be able to start the job...
0:18:41 > 0:18:42What am I going to do?
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Let's just wait and see, yeah?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Billy...ran...
0:19:18 > 0:19:21up... s...
0:19:21 > 0:19:22What's there?
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- Stairs!- Yeah, so...
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Billy ran upstairs!
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Yes!
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Have a look at this one here.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Nine letters. "Make peace with"?
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I...I dunno.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36He's really come on.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39They've noticed at school. She's great, isn't she?
0:19:39 > 0:19:40Yeah.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43She must be, to put up with you.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- You OK, bro? - Why, what's wrong with you?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I'm just tired, Mum.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Naomi, is he telling me the truth?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54You're always sleeping.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Well, he still gets tired easily.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59When do you go back for a checkup?
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Erm... Couple of weeks.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Very good! Very good.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Mum? I knew every single one of them, didn't I?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Man is a genius. It runs in the family.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Right, my darling. Hey, say thank you to Naomi.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- Thank you. - You're welcome, sweetheart.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19You must come round to ours for dinner.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21And no snide remarks, you.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Come on, let's go.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30NAOMI: See you soon!
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- Bye, everyone!- Bye!
0:20:32 > 0:20:34See you later, man.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Mm.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50I can do it, babes.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52What?
0:20:54 > 0:20:59I'll re-learn all the words I've lost before the new term starts.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01How?
0:21:03 > 0:21:06The flash cards. Look how Adam's come on.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11Adam's a child learning for the first time. You have a specific neurological problem...
0:21:11 > 0:21:14They think it might be psychological.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Yeah, "think", being the operative word!
0:21:16 > 0:21:19I don't have any other symptoms.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- You get words wrong.- Occasionally.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- You have to see the therapist. - And I will.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27But, in the meantime, I'm going to be ready for the first day of term.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30You're not serious! Are you serious?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32You are?
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Look, I'm not starting from scratch. It's all in here somewhere -
0:21:36 > 0:21:38just a bit mixed up.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42You can't possibly take that job, Sam. You have to tell them.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44See, you don't understand,
0:21:44 > 0:21:46because you've already fulfilled your potential.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Oh, not the "I want to make my dad proud" thing.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have been able to do my degree.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54He lent me every single penny he had.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- It's only money. - It's only money when you have it.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05I've failed at everything I've ever tried.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07What?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09But with this...
0:22:09 > 0:22:11I can be good at it, I know I can.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13I can do something important.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16And I want it, like...
0:22:17 > 0:22:20..I want nothing else.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22It's my last shot, Naomi. If I don't take it then...
0:22:22 > 0:22:26There'll be other jobs.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29In this climate?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32I want people to be proud of who I am.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35We are!
0:22:35 > 0:22:37I have to try, Naomi.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41And I don't want anyone else to know. So, help me.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Or don't, but I have to try.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47His...
0:22:49 > 0:22:52..g-g-jeans.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57- His, oh...- G... G... G... G... - G... G...
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Sat.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09S-s-s-sat.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- Swim...- Swim, swim...
0:23:14 > 0:23:17..ing. His swimming...trunks.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24E... Eve? Eve?
0:23:24 > 0:23:26This is impossible, Sam. It's too much.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30No, no, listen. Let's just have a break, OK?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Erm... Cup of tea, yeah?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Babe, could you come here for a sec, please?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50It's an e-mail about the induction period at St Frederick's.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52This bit here. What's it say?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Our faculty administration supervisor, Sharon Kelly,
0:23:55 > 0:23:59will go through procedures with you. Um...
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Curriculum, timetables, passwords.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07That's the reading list.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Roo...
0:24:13 > 0:24:17fing. Roofing.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20PHONE RINGS
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Hello?
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Sammy-boy! Fancy a game of pool?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27What, now? Sorry, mate.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Aw, you never come out any more, man. Go on.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31No, I can't.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Look, I'm just round the corner. I'll pick you up.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38You know, actually, I'm at my mum's, though.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40All right, yeah. Suit yourself.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Naomi?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- Naomi?- Aw, great!
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Play nice now.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- Hello.- How's it going? - OK.- All right?
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Sorry to hear about your...
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- How are you doing?- Good, thanks.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- You were lucky, by the sound of it. - So people keep telling me.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Sorry. He's not very good around people at the moment.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13No worries.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15- My brother had a stroke when he was 27, so...- Ah!
0:25:15 > 0:25:18SAM BLASTS THE HORN
0:25:18 > 0:25:20I'd better go.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23A few of us meet up for a drink on Fridays at the Vaults.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- Come if you like?- Yeah.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Bye!
0:25:31 > 0:25:34That was rude. Plain rude.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36"You were lucky." "You!"
0:25:36 > 0:25:39I don't want you discussing me with him.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41People ask about you.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44You just have an irrational problem with him.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46He's after you, Naomi! I'm not stupid.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49You are. He's gay.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53I hate him even more now,
0:25:53 > 0:25:56not for being gay, just for trying to hide it.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58PHONE RINGS
0:25:58 > 0:25:59Ah, don't tell me - Mum!
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- PHONE RINGS - Hi.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- How are you feeling? - Absolutely fine, Mum.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08If there's a change, I'LL call YOU.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Stop fussing! Bye.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28You know what I miss?
0:26:28 > 0:26:32Getting really lost in it.
0:26:32 > 0:26:38So lost it's like everything else just disappears.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41I miss it.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Oh! I had this word, this morning.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- Sam...- Don't tell me.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52I spoke to your mum earlier. She knows something is wrong.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- I'm so close. It's all in here. - You're pushing too hard.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Ah, no, the therapist said I should practise every day...
0:26:58 > 0:27:01That's all you do. It's not healthy.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02And I'm improving, aren't I?
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Enough to teach English to Year Nines, in a few weeks' time?
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Those CDs came. Look!
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Everything I need to learn about the texts.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13You'll learn Frankenstein, A View From A Bridge
0:27:13 > 0:27:15and Of Mice And Men in a couple of weeks?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Most of it's discussion-based learning in the first term,
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- so they'll have to do the reading. - What about essays?
0:27:22 > 0:27:25You read them, I'll mark them.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27And specific questions someone might ask?
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- I'll deal with it. - OK. The induction day,
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- how will you deal with that?- I'll cry off and get them to e-mail stuff.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38The register? You still have difficulty of words of more than two syllables.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Why put a downer on everything? I'm trying to find solutions.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45- PHONE RINGS - Hello?- 'Sam?'
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Ed, yes.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49I never see you any more.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Watching the money, you know.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Come on, man. Look, if things are that bad
0:27:54 > 0:27:58I'll get you a couple of weeks on this job I've got coming up. Yeah?
0:27:58 > 0:28:00You're still a hell of a plasterer!
0:28:00 > 0:28:04I could do with the money, but it's just...
0:28:04 > 0:28:07I've got a lot of stuff to prepare before I start. You know...
0:28:07 > 0:28:08Mm-hm.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Well, the offer's there.
0:28:10 > 0:28:15Look at this! Wenger's about to splash the cash, yeah, right.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17That'll be a first. You seen this?
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Another pint?
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Hey, hey! Come on, come on, come on, come on, sit down.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Your money's no good here. Yeah?
0:28:24 > 0:28:26- You having the same again, yeah? - Same again.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Two more, please.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38- MOBILE RINGS - Only answer if it's Laurence.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40You know them girls are chasing me, right?
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Yo, Sam, who is it?
0:28:53 > 0:28:57Sam, who is it?
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Who is it?
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Hey, Sam, who is it?
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Sam!
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Sam!
0:29:12 > 0:29:14I've got to go, yeah?
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Sam!
0:29:16 > 0:29:18- You look gorgeous!- Thank you!
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Good boy, have a good time!
0:29:24 > 0:29:26- Bye!- See you!
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Be still or I shall eat you. Eyes. I like eyes best.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36- Stop it, Uncle Sam. - Yes, stop it, Uncle Sam!
0:29:36 > 0:29:38So, I'm going to get you some warm milk,
0:29:38 > 0:29:43and then we're going to read a bedtime story, yeah?
0:29:43 > 0:29:46You choose a book.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50Look! This is a funny one.
0:29:50 > 0:29:55Zombies do not like tasty kid's stupid books.
0:29:59 > 0:30:05Look! Billy...Loses...His...
0:30:05 > 0:30:11Underpants! It's dead funny. Read what it's about.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Billy...

0:30:49 > 0:30:51Sam!
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Sam?
0:30:53 > 0:30:55What's wrong?
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Uncle Sam can't read my book.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Just a couple, remember?
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Yeah.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20- Jack! Hello.- Hi!
0:31:20 > 0:31:22- You know Sam?- Hello.- All right?
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Sam, this is Ruby and Callum.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26So, what have you been up to?
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- Remember that show I was telling you about, the Tim Minchin one?- Yeah?
0:31:29 > 0:31:32I spoke to my friend, Annette, and she reckons
0:31:32 > 0:31:35she can get tickets to see it, she knows someone in the cast.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36Yeah, he's a genius.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Yeah, the reviews have been amazing.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Sam, did you hear that?
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Jack knows someone who can get tickets for Matilda.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Great!
0:31:46 > 0:31:48You're not into Tim Minchin?
0:31:48 > 0:31:50He's a bit smug for me.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52But I like Dennis Kelly.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- What you do, Sam?- I'm a plasterer.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02- It's Quiz Night, babes, did you know that?- No.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- Cheers?- Cheers! Cheers!
0:32:07 > 0:32:10In which Shakespearean work does Duke Orsino say
0:32:10 > 0:32:14- "If music be the food of love, play on..."?- Twelfth Night.
0:32:14 > 0:32:15Don't be giving the game away.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17In case we start a riot?
0:32:17 > 0:32:19- Sh!- No-one's bothered!
0:32:19 > 0:32:23From which US city can one travel south to Canada?
0:32:23 > 0:32:27- It's Detroit, isn't it?- I thought you said he was well travelled!
0:32:27 > 0:32:29I'll put Detroit.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Yeah, you put Detroit.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Based on the number of passengers,
0:32:33 > 0:32:36which five cities have the busiest airports in Europe?
0:32:36 > 0:32:38- Heathrow's got to be one of them. - Obviously.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- Why, obviously?- It's THE busiest.
0:32:41 > 0:32:42- I'm ready to go. - Which is what I said!
0:32:42 > 0:32:46- You didn't, you said, "one."- That's a bit depantic...petandic...
0:32:46 > 0:32:49You trying to be funny?
0:32:49 > 0:32:50You're tired, let's go, Sam.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- I'm fine.- Good idea.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55What did you say?
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- I said, "Good idea." You should go! - I'm sorry.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- Hey, listen, don't be apologising for me!- I'll ring you.- Yeah.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Whoa, what's going on? He's having a pop, so you're siding with him?
0:33:04 > 0:33:08- Please...- You're trying to make me look a fool in front of your mates?
0:33:08 > 0:33:12- All this pretence is making you paranoid.- Shut up!
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- Don't speak to her like that. - What?- It's OK, really.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17- Take her advice and go home.- Make me.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19- Don't!- We've all been drinking.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Why don't you and your boyfriend here make me?
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Sam!
0:33:25 > 0:33:29Stop it! Stop it!
0:33:31 > 0:33:34- No, no!- Go on, then! Don't do me any favours.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38I'm not. You're recovering from a brain injury, aren't you?
0:33:38 > 0:33:40I don't want to risk going down for murder.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44And I don't know where you get the idea that I'm gay from
0:33:44 > 0:33:47but you're well off the mark.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Urgh! Shoosh!
0:34:02 > 0:34:04You're making this so hard on yourself.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08I was an idiot. I'm sorry.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11I'm talking about the job.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13- You're not ready yet. - I've just woken up.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Getting back to normal will take time,
0:34:17 > 0:34:20pushing it is driving you insane.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23I was drunk, OK?
0:34:23 > 0:34:27Your sister is worried about her son telling silly lies,
0:34:27 > 0:34:29like Uncle Sam can't read his book.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31I'll talk to her.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33I'm not covering for you any more.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Do you realise how hard this is?
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Self pity is really unattractive.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Yeah? And so is a superiority complex!
0:34:48 > 0:34:51No. Naomi, please. Don't do this.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53You have an e-mail.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58There's a welcome party on at the school next Thursday, five o'clock.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Why did you lie about Jack being gay?
0:35:00 > 0:35:03To avoid having to answer ridiculous questions about him.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07- So, there is something going on between you then... - Oh, listen to yourself!
0:35:07 > 0:35:12I'm sick of being your teacher. I'm sick of you burying your head
0:35:12 > 0:35:14and pretending everything is all right.
0:35:14 > 0:35:15It's not.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19It's so not.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23I love you, Sam,
0:35:23 > 0:35:27but you need to face up.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Listen, Naomi. Please, listen.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31Don't go!
0:35:33 > 0:35:36OK? Not now.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38What am I going to do without you?
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Thrive, hopefully.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44I'll be at Jenny's.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46OK, well, if you leave,
0:35:46 > 0:35:52then, there's no way back, OK? It's over.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58You want to be honest, come and find me.
0:35:59 > 0:36:05If not, then, yeah, it's over.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Isn't it illegal or something?
0:37:08 > 0:37:11I'm asking you to read a few things when I get stuck,
0:37:11 > 0:37:14not drive a getaway car.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16I accused Adam of lying.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20Yeah, I'll make it right. I promise.
0:37:20 > 0:37:25Hm. E-mails and letters, that's all.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28- See you tomorrow.- Tomorrow?
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Sunday lunch at mum's. Naomi didn't tell you?
0:37:40 > 0:37:44- Knew there was something wrong. Didn't I say?- Don't make a fuss.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- She's found someone else, hasn't she?- No!
0:37:47 > 0:37:50They're having problems so she's staying with a friend.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53And it doesn't concern us, so don't say anything.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55About what?
0:38:06 > 0:38:09It's odd around the table without her.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11When was the last time we had Sunday lunch?
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- I know what he means. - Eat up.- Don't like green beans.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- Yeah, so do I. - You liked them last week.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21Maybe a bit of time.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Can you pass the gravy, please, Sophie?
0:38:24 > 0:38:26- Not eating them. - A bit of breathing space.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30Dad, can we change the subject, please?
0:38:30 > 0:38:32I'm not having them on my plate.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- Stop it, Adam! - Greens give you brain power.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38You want to be clever like your Uncle Sam, don't you?
0:38:38 > 0:38:41- He's not clever, he can't read my book.- That's enough!
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Stop forcing the boy!
0:38:44 > 0:38:48- Can we finish our lunch in peace? - Naomi always has a calming effect.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- How many times?- Hey! Your mother was only worried about you.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53It's my relationship, OK? So butt out.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57Yes, and this is my house. You better watch your mouth!
0:38:59 > 0:39:02- She put you back on track. - Back on track?- Yes!
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Did she take my exams for me?
0:39:04 > 0:39:06I am capable of doing things by myself.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10- I thought we were finishing lunch in peace!- You give up too easy.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12- You're unbelievable.- Sam? - Unbelievable!
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Now look what you've done!
0:39:36 > 0:39:38You all right, mate?
0:39:42 > 0:39:44You're, er,
0:39:44 > 0:39:47angry with me, aren't you?
0:39:47 > 0:39:50You know how I can tell?
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Well, you're not looking at me,
0:39:52 > 0:39:55and your shoulders, they're all hunched up.
0:39:59 > 0:40:04That's how you knew I was struggling with your book, isn't it?
0:40:04 > 0:40:07You just said it like it is.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Listen, your mum shouting at you...
0:40:15 > 0:40:20..it wasn't her fault, she didn't know.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23It was me not being honest.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27I should have put her right, and I'm sorry.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33You know people say a lot of things without words.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Words are amazing, but...
0:40:37 > 0:40:41they don't always tell you the whole story, do they?
0:40:43 > 0:40:48You're a smart one for working that one out.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52You knew you were right, cos you'd read it right.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58You're a clever little lad.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04# Just like a star across my sky
0:41:04 > 0:41:08# Just like an angel off a page
0:41:08 > 0:41:12# You have appeared to my life
0:41:12 > 0:41:16# Feel like I'll never be the same
0:41:16 > 0:41:20# Just like a song in my heart
0:41:20 > 0:41:24# Just like oil on my hands
0:41:24 > 0:41:27# All of the love...#
0:41:31 > 0:41:36Here he is. The latest addition to our English Department.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Hello.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04Hello.
0:42:04 > 0:42:10Um, I went to the welcome party at St Frederick's today.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Yeah?
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Yeah, I told them I wasn't up to the job.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20Not yet anyway.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24You will be. Eventually.
0:42:24 > 0:42:25Yeah.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31I wanted to tell you face-to-face.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Seemed important.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38It is.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44See what a good catch I am?
0:42:44 > 0:42:46I've not got my specs on.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Are you cold?
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Freezing.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Do you want to come in?
