0:01:27 > 0:01:31I didn't know whether you was tea or coffee or how you took it.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Mrs Fisher was always tea... - You'll have enough on your plate.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Refreshments I can do myself.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Oh.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41OK... Well, I'll just...
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Careful, or your bum fluff might blunt my razor.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- You're not funny. - And you're not old enough to shave,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58so stop tarting about and go and get Nan her breakfast.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01HARLEY SIGHS
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Remember to get her tablets, yeah?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Yeah, yeah.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Morning, Nan.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Harley's just getting your breakfast.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15It's a beautiful day, you know.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Do you fancy coming downstairs?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22It'll do you good.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Nan?
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Nan?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- He came back from the dead. - Like Jesus?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I'm serious. It was all over the paper.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- It must be true(!)- And there was a documentary about him.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56He's like a proper celebrity.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Just because he got stabbed by a pupil? Quick, Finn, get your autograph book.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03You what, mate?
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Are you all right?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Yeah, course. It's just this place.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- Sam would've wanted us to get over her, move on.- Yeah.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15What is that?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19THEY LAUGH
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- Nice wheels. - Feast your eyes on the Burmobile.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Full body kit, alloys.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Eh, you should hear the stereo. - They did.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- Must've set you back a bit. - Got a fruit stall on the market. I'm raking it in.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- He wastes his money on this while we're still living at his mum's.- Not for long, babes.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43So, here we are. Fresh start.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Leave our troubles behind us.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Professional, remember?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Good morning, Sian.- Hello.- Jeremy.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- How was the honeymoon? - It was fine, thank you.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07- Fine? It was amazing. Sun, sea, sand and loads of... - I think Michael gets the picture.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09I'm glad you had a good time.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Back to business now, though.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Lots of work to do.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Why can't he just call me Jez? It really winds me up.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19There's your answer.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I'm Mr Byrne, your head teacher.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23And this belongs to...?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- It's mine, Sir.- Come on, move it outside. You can't park here.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Sir, I can't park it out there! It'll get nicked.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- Then I'll have to charge you. - How much?
0:04:31 > 0:04:35One lunch time a week. You run a club for any budding mechanics.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I'll find an old banger for you to pimp up.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Deal.- And we'll have top buttons and ties done up.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44I expect years 12 and 13 to set the standards.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Thank you.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49He seems all right.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Ambulance, please.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Are you mad?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- She might be in a coma or something. - She's not, she's dead.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10If it gets out, they'll take us to Dad's.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- They wouldn't dare.- We're minors. We need somebody to look after us.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Nan didn't look after us, we looked after her.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19It don't matter. Until we're 16 we need a legal guardian.
0:05:19 > 0:05:25- So we're just going to leave her up there until you're 16? - Harley, I'll think of something.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30- Until then, you just have to act like everything's normal.- No way.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35We're already late. The last thing we need is truancy officers round here.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I'm not going. I can't.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Have you forgotten what Dad's were like?
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Always drunk, never any food in the house, the beatings.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52I'm going to miss her so much.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I know.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57But she wouldn't want us going back to Dad's.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05"Despite being stabbed outside his former school,
0:06:05 > 0:06:09"Super-head Michael Byrne insists it will be business as usual
0:06:09 > 0:06:13"when he takes up his position at Waterloo Road, with a focus on core education and discipline."
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Hallelujah!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Oh! I'll have some of what you're on.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Nothing but hope.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23The days of Karen "Mollycoddle Them" Fisher are gone.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27At last we have a head teacher with a firm hand.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29And don't tell me you're not out to impress.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34- Well, Michael wants me to interview for the deputy head.- Management?
0:06:34 > 0:06:39- Et tu, Brute.- Well, we'll take it you weren't asked, then?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- Hello, stranger.- Hi.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- What scandal brings you back here? - What do you mean?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Giving up a cushy number in the private sector? You must have done something really bad!
0:06:48 > 0:06:51I was head hunted by Michael Byrne. He only picks the best!
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Daniel.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58Pleased to see that public school superiority hasn't rubbed off on you.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Hi. I'm Sian Diamond.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- Tom Clarkson.- Hi. Matt.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03- Hello.- Er, Daniel Chalk.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- Nice to meet you.- Mr Budgen. - You might have to bear with me.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- I can recite the periodic table backwards, but names I'm rubbish with.- Jez Diamond.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- That's right. - Tom Clarkson.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- I saw you play for the Dale. I didn't know you'd come into teaching.- Yeah.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22- Thank God I did, or I wouldn't have met my better half.- Married couple in the staff room, I'm afraid.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24It's great to have you on board.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27I'm sure our teams will learn a lot from an ex-pro.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Like how to win. I mean, no offence, but I'm after results.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- It's not all about the winning though, is it? - Try telling Michael that.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- There's Mr Byrne.- Big deal.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49You're lucky I persuaded him to give you another chance.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Are you listening, Tariq? - Yeah, yeah.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59- What do you think? - That I wouldn't have to be here if he hadn't got himself banged up.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Shhh! That's in the past.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04But I still get to be part of the freak show. What did I do wrong?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Nothing. You're a good girl, Trudi.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Look, I'm sorry you have to go through this.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Nobody goes anywhere yet, please. Thank you.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33All present and correct. Good start.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Well, good morning, everyone.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40Some of you know me from my last school, some of you don't. I'm Mr Byrne, your head teacher.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45And you are all here because your parents have asked me to give you a chance.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48And it is your last chance.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Parents, if you could step to the side for a moment please.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Thank you.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03All right, here's the deal.
0:09:03 > 0:09:09I'm offering you the most precious thing I can - an education.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14I promise you that a decent education will change your life.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18I want you to leave your past at those gates.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23When you enter this school you come with an open mind ready to learn.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27You arrive on time, you respect your teachers and your fellow pupils.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31You make each and every lesson count.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37By entering those doors, you commit to playing by these rules.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39So, what's it to be?
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Er, I don't want to worry anyone, but, um...
0:10:11 > 0:10:16The dregs of every sink estate for miles around. God help us.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Teaching's meant to be a challenge. That's half the fun, isn't it?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Oh, yeah, they look like a barrel of laughs!
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Michael will have them turned around in no time.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Sorry I'm late, everyone. I've been having a word with our new intake.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32They've all been excluded from their previous schools, so keep an eye on them.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37Oh, I'm sure you'll soon have them knocked into shape, Mike.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40It's not about knocking them into shape.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43We have to inspire them to want to learn.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Teachers are the cornerstone of any school.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50I've never met a failing pupil, only failing teachers.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52As Waterloo Road is officially a failing school,
0:10:52 > 0:10:56I've recruited some of the best to help me turn it round.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- Sian Edwards. - Actually, it's Diamond now.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03Sorry. With a first from Cambridge, she's one of the brightest science teachers in the country.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05We're very lucky to have her.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Also new to us, Jeremy Diamond. Our new head of PE.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13He didn't mention that I was top scorer at the Dale two seasons running, did he?
0:11:13 > 0:11:18And, finally, I've managed to poach back someone you may remember. Matt Wilding.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Matt will be spearheading my new drive on music and drama.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27Now I'm sure you're all aware of my ongoing court case. The verdict is expected this week.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31I hope you'll understand that I'd like to be there. And that's all.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Make every lesson count.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- Tom, two o'clock for your interview? - Absolutely.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- Sian, 1.30 for yours. - I'll be there.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44He was looking straight at us when he mentioned failing teachers.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49Nah, must be a squint. He can't do without us. We're the ones at the coal face.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Tell that to his last school. 25 teachers didn't last a term.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58- Chalky, can I have a look at those articles? I thought I was the only candidate.- No problem.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00The five Ps, you see?
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Preparation prevents pretty poor...
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Performance.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Performance. I want those back.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11I'll... I'll make copies. Cheers.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17You two! You've missed registration.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- We're here.- Not if you carry on with that attitude. Names?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- Phoenix and Harley Taylor. Who wants to know?- Your head teacher.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27And you've just earned yourself an after-school detention.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29He can't. Nan... Nan's...
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- Don't sweat it. I'll be there. - Make sure you are.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35The cooler, 3.30.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37What did I say about acting normal?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- You just got a detention. - Like I said. Normal.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Hello. I'm Finn.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- You're new, right?- And astounded by your deductive reasoning.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00That's a cool thing you've got going on.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I didn't know you were allowed trendy burkas and stuff.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Being Muslim doesn't stop me expressing myself.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10- No, of course not.- And it's a hijab.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Right. So I'm the burka, then.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Shut your mouths. Open your books.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24Er...
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Right...ssh!
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Who has got...?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Sex, seduction, sacrifice, murder and execution.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44What a great way to kick off your GCSE year.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Phoenix, nice of you to bother.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Right, start reading through the first chapter. And properly!
0:13:53 > 0:13:55That means one word after another.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00What happened to hanging out over the summer?
0:14:00 > 0:14:04My nan was sick. I spent most of my time looking after her. Sorry.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Oh, that sucks.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10And there were me sunning myself in St Tropez. Can't you tell?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13New foster family? Loaded, are they?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15I wish. I moved back in with mum, didn't I?
0:14:15 > 0:14:20There's no change there. She takes as much looking after as your nan.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- It's an open classroom policy. - It's an invasion of privacy.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27- You're worried you'll get caught reading the Racing Post. - That's slander!
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Come on. If you've nothing to hide, what's the problem?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Well, he obviously doesn't trust us.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- You'll get used to it. - Of that, I have no intention.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Sir, I feel sick. - You were all right a minute ago.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Honest, Sir, I feel like I'm about to vomit.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00He should see the nurse.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03OK.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Not you, Scout. - He can barely walk!
0:15:07 > 0:15:11- Oh, I'll be all right.- Look, go on then, come straight back.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Bug's been going round. I had it last week.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Couldn't stop puking everywhere.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23My mum thought it were morning sickness. She got her hopes up there'd be an extra child benefit.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27- But then there's nothing wrong with you, is there?- Course there is.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29This is me you're talking to.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Who were that text from?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Mind your own business!
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Signings for you, Mr Byrne.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Thank you.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Can we lose all the pink fluff?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45This is an office, not Paris Hilton's boudoir.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49He's in then.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53I would've knocked except of course there's... Oh!
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- Seems to be the only room that does still have a door.- Don't tell me,
0:16:01 > 0:16:03I'm abusing your civil liberties.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Not mine. It's the pupils who will be distracted.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- You're a good teacher, aren't you, Grantly?- I like to think so.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Then you shouldn't have any problem engaging a class, door or no door. MOBILE BEEPS
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Was that all?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23He's nothing but an overpaid bloody hypocrite!
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Can you get me Sian, please?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30And block me out for a couple of hours.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39SWITCHES MUSIC ON There are at least 15 different orchestral instruments in this mix.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42I want you to write down as many as you can, OK?
0:16:49 > 0:16:50OK, everyone, tell you what,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53let's all close our eyes and really think about
0:16:53 > 0:16:57the instruments you're listening to before you write them down, OK?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Is it Harley, yeah?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- What's wrong?- Nothing.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12You're upset by something.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16I said it's nothing, all right? If I was upset, I'd tell you. Happy now?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18There's no need to speak to me like that.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Maybe you need some time alone in the cooler or something?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29What's happened?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32The jury are returning. I'll be gone two hours tops, so you're in charge.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Well, someone should go with you.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36There's no need. They haven't hung around.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38So...?
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Well, it's obvious, isn't it? They've found him guilty.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Your bluffs never worked on me, remember?
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- Who's bluffing?- You are, Michael.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Plus I've got a free period, so you're all out of excuses.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Ah, Tom. Just the man. I've got to go to court.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Right. Well, um, fingers crossed.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09Sian's coming with me, so if you could keep an eye on things here. Any problems I'll be on my mobile.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Hey, I'll do that. You get reading. We're counting on you to get this job.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Thanks, Janeece, and don't get your hopes up.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Is Michael in?- You just missed him. Tom's in charge.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I've just had Harley Taylor in tears in my class,
0:18:24 > 0:18:26but he wouldn't tell me what it was about.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Maybe you could have a word?
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Yeah, sure.
0:18:34 > 0:18:40Yes, well, I don't care if it is de rigueur at Academies to promote transparency in the classroom.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Puh, it's no wonder they're failing, is it?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45After all I've done for the NU...?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Don't worry, I'll do it myself.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Sian!
0:18:51 > 0:18:55- Where are you going?- To court. I don't think he should face the verdict on his own.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- You're going to hold his hand? - He needs someone on his side. - Why you, though?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Because I've got a free period. Look, it's fine.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I'll let you know when we know anything, OK?
0:19:04 > 0:19:05It's fine.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Come on.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07All rise.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Members of the jury,
0:20:18 > 0:20:19have you reached a verdict?
0:20:20 > 0:20:21We have.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26And on the indictment of attempted murder, do you find the defendant guilty or not guilty?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- Not guilty. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Come on!
0:20:30 > 0:20:31Get in!
0:20:33 > 0:20:34- Michael...- No way!
0:20:34 > 0:20:38That boy stabbed me. He's not getting away with it!
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Brenda? Brenda, it's Pauline.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Meals on wheels!
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Brenda!
0:20:54 > 0:20:57She's on one of those Rotary day trips. Blackpool.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- She's been on about it for weeks. - You bunking off while she's away?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04No, I did a history report, just left it at home.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Oh, she'll have a right appetite after all that sea air.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10You make sure you heat it through.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12We don't want to be giving her food poisoning.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- Hey...- What did the solicitor say?
0:21:20 > 0:21:24No grounds for appeal. I told them what happened - they didn't believe me.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26It's not that - they just needed more proof.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Well, I'll do better than that - I'll get a confession.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Michael, you've got a new school and new kids, focus on them.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35No, this has nothing to do with Waterloo Road,
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- and it's nothing to do with you. I didn't ask you to come! - Michael...!- Oi!
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Mr Byrne!
0:21:41 > 0:21:42Can you smell that?
0:21:44 > 0:21:48- Freedom!- Don't let him wind you up. - You won't get away with this. - I haven't got away with nothing.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Innocent and on remand when my kid were born.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55It's you who should be locked up. Trashing my rep with your lies.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56Michael, let's go, please.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01You'll pay for what you did.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Get off it.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13- It'll cost you. What do you think it's worth?- I said give it me!
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Leave him alone.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- Cuss me again and they'll be feeding you through a straw.- Whatever!
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- Was that worth getting your head kicked in for?- It were Nan's.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30- "Was"?- She give it me this morning.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Does he want us to knock or something?
0:23:59 > 0:24:03- Bit flimsy, isn't it?- Get the tape!
0:24:03 > 0:24:05The rest of you, get in quickly.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Does Mr Byrne know about this?
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Oh, Mr Byrne is well aware of my position on the matter.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Down there.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18- We won't be able to open it. - It's not like you're going anywhere. - It's a fire hazard!
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Don't start any fires!
0:24:32 > 0:24:34KNOCKING
0:24:34 > 0:24:36HE GROANS ANGRILY
0:24:36 > 0:24:38(Right, OK.)
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- LAUGHTER - Shush.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43I don't know what is funny.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- I know you're upset, but there's no need to be so... - Can we just leave it?
0:25:49 > 0:25:53There was me thinking you might need some support. Someone to talk to.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56I had enough psychobabble therapy in the hospital, ta.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- I meant as a friend. - Talking never changed anything.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01You get on in this world through action,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03not reflection.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07It's about moving forward, not dwelling in the past.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12What is it with that boy?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16HORN HONKS REPEATEDLY
0:26:18 > 0:26:19All right, I heard you!
0:26:22 > 0:26:25What are you doing for lunch?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27No plans...yet.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30She's only been here five minutes, she thinks she owns the place.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35Why do I want the job? I'm glad you asked because some people would say I'm the heart of this school.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- This failing school.- Tom!
0:26:38 > 0:26:39Hey.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42We heard about the verdict.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- I'm sorry. - Has everything been OK here?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Yeah, running like clockwork.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- Right, well, why have I just seen Phoenix Taylor in town?- What?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Find him, send him to my office.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Which part of no doors don't you understand, Grantly?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10It's not a door...
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- ..it's a screen. - Don't play semantics with me.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18Look, I have rights. Rights to certain working conditions.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Then take it to your union.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29HE CHUCKLES
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Oi! here have you been?
0:27:35 > 0:27:39- Geography.- Nice try. Mr Byrne saw you in town, wants you in his office.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Nurse sent me to the chemist. Crime to be ill now, is it?
0:27:42 > 0:27:46- You expect me to believe that? - Believe what you want. You always do.- Go on.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52That's the brother, is it? Attitude in the gene pool, brilliant.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Did you get the chance to talk to Harley?
0:27:54 > 0:27:58No. Sorry, mate. I've been a bit distracted with this interview prep.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02- What have you done with the Tom who puts the kids first? - I said I'd talk to him.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- I was shopping for Nan. - During school?- Couldn't do it after - I had detention.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11This is your GCSE year, Phoenix, the most important year of your life.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16- You can't miss lessons because you're running errands. - Who else was gonna do it?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18- Sorry, Sir, I didn't mean...- What?
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Are you caring for your nan?
0:28:28 > 0:28:30- Yeah, and everything's cool.- No.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Not if you're skipping school.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34I have to call Social Services.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36No, don't.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Please. It'd break Nan's heart.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39She's proud.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41I'm only concerned with your education.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Problems at home are for Social Services. Do you understand that?
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Then I'll get help. No biggie.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49Aunty Rose is up the road.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53- I won't miss another lesson of school.- Make sure you don't.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58And we'll extend tonight's detention to the rest of the week, so you can catch up on what you've missed. Go.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02Janeece!
0:29:04 > 0:29:08- Yeah?- Get me Phoenix Taylor's file and a number for Social Services.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11- Right away.- And Janeece?
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Your basic spelling and grammar are atrocious.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Mrs Fisher might have had time to proofread, but I don't.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23- Blame this place - I did have Budgen for English. - This is an administration course.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Take it and you pass the exam.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Until then, you're on probation.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38- Have you had anything to eat? - I'm not hungry.
0:29:38 > 0:29:43- What would Nan say about that?- It doesn't matter what Nan says, she's not here. She's on her way to hell.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49Calm down,
0:29:49 > 0:29:51or you'll blow everything.
0:29:51 > 0:29:52I don't care any more.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55She needs a proper funeral with a priest and stuff.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57We don't need a priest. I've got it under control.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Just keep it together. Just go and get something to eat.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- What's going on?- Nothing.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08- You wouldn't happen to have any money, would you? - Me? Rolling in it(!)
0:30:10 > 0:30:14- Are you in trouble? - I will be if I don't get the house right before Nan gets back.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17- We've got no cleaning stuff. - You don't need money for that.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Ta-da! Take your pick.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Oh, cheers, Scout. You're a proper mate.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- Where's your nan been?- Blackpool.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35I thought she was ill?
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- She's all right.- What about Harley?
0:30:38 > 0:30:40He seemed pretty upset about something.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42He had a fight over your nan's necklace.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Will you stop with all the questions!
0:30:44 > 0:30:48We're friends, aren't we? If you're in trouble, I can help.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49No, you can't.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52So, you ARE in trouble, then?
0:30:57 > 0:30:58Wait, Phoenix...!
0:31:01 > 0:31:05Check these subs out, absolutely massive. Have a look at that amp in there.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Want to have a look? Hey, bit more than you could afford!
0:31:08 > 0:31:09What a bunch of muppets.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- TURNS VOLUME UP - Tune!
0:31:20 > 0:31:22- Watch it, you almost had my head off! - Oi!
0:31:22 > 0:31:25He's looking for a reaction. Don't give it to him.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Just stay away from my car!
0:31:30 > 0:31:32You'll be sorry you did that!
0:31:33 > 0:31:37Do you have to be such an idiot? You're making me look really stupid.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41I'm doing you a favour, sis. You don't want anything to do with these losers.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44That's my decision, not yours.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Hey, Harley.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15- Mr Wilding said you were upset about something.- It's OK. It was nothing.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Well, it's pretty obvious that there's something's wrong.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20My rabbit's just died.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22It's all right. She was old.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Was your rabbit religious?
0:32:26 > 0:32:29No. But my nan was.
0:32:29 > 0:32:34My nan is. She said I could give it a funeral, if I chose a reading.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37Can't help you there, I'm afraid.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40But you know where I am if you need to talk.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Thanks.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Phoenix! I know you're in there.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Go away!
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Ssh! I said go away!
0:33:44 > 0:33:49What's wrong with you? D'you want the whole street out?
0:33:49 > 0:33:51You've been crying!
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Nan died.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01I'm so sorry. Why didn't you say anything?
0:34:01 > 0:34:05- We're supposed to be... - I haven't told anyone. That's how I want it to stay.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- Oh, my God, is she still...? - It's all right.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15- How can it be all right? You've got a flippin' dead body upstairs!- I'm sorting it.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17No...you can't do this...
0:34:17 > 0:34:21- You've got to tell someone!- No! They'll send us to live with Dad.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24You have to, you can't just leave her.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Oh, God, Phoenix, you're never gonna get away with it!
0:34:27 > 0:34:31- I will if you keep your gob shut. - Someone's gonna find out.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33- Harley's about to crack up. - He won't say anything.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35And neither will you.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37She's dead.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41You can't...just hide her away for ever.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45This is totally twisted.
0:34:45 > 0:34:46I've got a plan!
0:34:46 > 0:34:49I don't wanna know. This is sick.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52You need help.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Look, don't...
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Don't tell them!
0:34:56 > 0:34:58You can't!
0:35:07 > 0:35:09- Denzil Kelly?- Yes, Sir.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Jodi Allen?
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Scout...are you here?
0:35:16 > 0:35:19- Sir?- And what about Phoenix?
0:35:19 > 0:35:21He went to doctor's.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24BELL RINGS
0:35:24 > 0:35:25Quietly!
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Scout...what's going on?
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Phoenix wasn't sick this morning - he was bunking off.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41And I know it wasn't because of some dead rabbit.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43- Rabbit?- Exactly.
0:35:43 > 0:35:44So are you gonna tell me?
0:35:46 > 0:35:47Scout?
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Fine. Then I'll have to take it up with Mr Byrne.
0:35:52 > 0:35:57I'm sure another unauthorised absence would nail Phoenix's exclusion.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01- It's not his fault.- What isn't?
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Please, Mr Clarkson, you wouldn't believe me anyway.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06Try me.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16Hi. I've got a study period. Can you tell me where the common room is?
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- Sure... - Left at the end of the corridor.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Thanks. Lauren and Josh, right?
0:36:21 > 0:36:23- Yeah, that's right.- Thanks.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31- Asking about me, was she? - No, just get over yourself.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33All right!
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Now the beauty of making ice cream with liquid nitrogen
0:36:39 > 0:36:42is that we don't have to wait for it to freeze overnight,
0:36:42 > 0:36:45because the boiling point of nitrogen is...
0:36:45 > 0:36:48ALL: Minus 196 degrees Celsius.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50And this is an example of...
0:36:50 > 0:36:52ALL: The Leidenfrost effect.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Very good!
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Write up the experiment for me, please.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03- Hi.- I was told the common room was down here.
0:37:03 > 0:37:08Ah, I think someone might have been having a little joke at the new girl's expense.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10It's actually on the first floor.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- Top of the stairs and then left. - Thanks.- OK.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03You've got to be joking. Do we really have to go through this?
0:38:03 > 0:38:05It's an interview. You'll have three minutes.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08Fine. Do your worst.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Tell me why you want to be deputy?
0:38:13 > 0:38:16You know how passionate I am about science and education.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20I've got the experience and we've always worked well together.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22KNOCK AT DOOR
0:38:22 > 0:38:26- Is this a dirty trick to scupper the competition?- No. Sorry, Sian. It's about the Taylors.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30I've spoken to Social Services. Phoenix admitted they're caring for their nan.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33- Not any more. She died this morning.- What?
0:38:33 > 0:38:38Jodie Allen's been around the house. Phoenix is there now with the body.
0:38:38 > 0:38:39- Doing what?- I don't know.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43- But it explains why Harley's been acting up. - We'll have to call the police.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47And have them wade in with their size 12s? No, let me talk to him first.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51See if you can find out if there are any other relatives - he mentioned an aunt.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53- I'm on it.- I'll talk to Harley.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40He shall send his angels
0:39:40 > 0:39:43with a great sound of trumpets
0:39:43 > 0:39:44and they shall gather together
0:39:44 > 0:39:46his elect from the four winds...
0:39:46 > 0:39:49from one end of heaven to the other.
0:39:52 > 0:39:53- Leave us alone!- It's OK.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59- I just want to talk.- What's there to talk about? She's dead!- I know.
0:40:00 > 0:40:01I'm sorry.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05Phoenix... I just want to help you.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08My personal life was none of your concern, remember?
0:40:08 > 0:40:11I wasn't talking about something like this!
0:40:14 > 0:40:17- Come on. Let's go.- No!
0:40:17 > 0:40:19You're not taking me to Dad's!
0:40:19 > 0:40:20OK...
0:40:21 > 0:40:23OK.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Is that why you kept this quiet,
0:40:28 > 0:40:30because of your dad?
0:40:30 > 0:40:31You don't know what he's like.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Maybe not. But I do know if you try and bury that body,
0:40:34 > 0:40:37- you'll be arrested.- Why?!
0:40:37 > 0:40:39It's not like I killed her, is it?
0:40:40 > 0:40:42I looked after her.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46I loved her.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54- I understand how you feel. - No, you don't!
0:40:54 > 0:40:56When I was younger,
0:40:56 > 0:40:59I thought I could deal with everything on my own,
0:40:59 > 0:41:03but there comes a point where you just have to accept...
0:41:03 > 0:41:04that you can't.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15You did a wonderful, wonderful thing helping your nan...
0:41:17 > 0:41:20..but don't you think she'd want to know someone was looking out for you?
0:41:48 > 0:41:50HE SCOFFS Does he think he is it or what?
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Oh, check out them budgie smugglers!
0:41:53 > 0:41:55That's disgraceful, look at it.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58That is grim. That should definitely be left to the imagination.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Oh, no look at that one, what a poser!
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Where've you been? Anybody'd have thought you'd got lost.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Look at this one.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12THEY LAUGH
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Very mature.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Making fun of the new girl. How very big of you all.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22- What's going on? - Like you don't know.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Giving me the come on all day when you've already got a girlfriend.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28- What?!- Thanks for making me feel so welcome(!)
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Yeah! It's as easy as that, boys.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46See. Here we go, let's roll!
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Ronan, quick!
0:43:38 > 0:43:41Out! My office now!
0:43:44 > 0:43:48Maybe you should be investing in a decent car alarm before the go-faster stripes.
0:43:59 > 0:44:04- I didn't say anything. They found out somehow. - It don't matter, mate. It's over.
0:44:05 > 0:44:07It's not my fault.
0:44:07 > 0:44:09- Honest.- It's nobody's fault.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12Can she have a proper funeral now?
0:44:17 > 0:44:20Yeah, of course she can.
0:44:20 > 0:44:24- Michael, this is Josephine Wilson from Social Services. - Could I have a word?
0:44:27 > 0:44:29So, what happens to them now?
0:44:29 > 0:44:32We'll find temporary accommodation while we secure a permanent place.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35They'll be local? They can still come to this school?
0:44:35 > 0:44:37I can't guarantee that. Sorry.
0:44:37 > 0:44:38SHOUTING
0:44:38 > 0:44:41Would you excuse me for a moment?
0:44:41 > 0:44:46- ALL:- Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! Rage! Blow! You cataracts and hurricanoes!
0:44:46 > 0:44:51And you lot, louder. Come on. Louder!
0:44:51 > 0:44:55I'm really trying to get them into the heart of the storm!
0:44:55 > 0:45:00- Don't you love Lear?- Yes. His descent into madness is surely a lesson to us all.
0:45:00 > 0:45:06- But not one the whole school should have to listen to.- I'm sure I could curb their enthusiasm.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08A door, perhaps?
0:45:11 > 0:45:15You're not fooling anyone. I've dusted off those lesson plans of yours.
0:45:15 > 0:45:19- Acting out plays isn't your style. - I am merely trying to inspire.
0:45:19 > 0:45:21No, Grantly, you're being a pain in the backside.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27You've got to hand it to him, he's determined.
0:45:27 > 0:45:32- How are the Taylors?- Social Services are making the arrangements. I'm hoping they can keep them local.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35Their dad's local, but he's the only relative I could find.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38That won't work, he's why they kept this thing quiet.
0:45:38 > 0:45:43- They don't want to be sent back to him.- He wouldn't have them. - What? You've spoken to him?
0:45:43 > 0:45:45Yep, a Nelson Smith. Says he feels bad for them,
0:45:45 > 0:45:48he's a changed man, but he doesn't have room for them in his new life.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51- What do you mean his new life? - He's a reformed alcoholic.
0:45:51 > 0:45:56Wouldn't shut up about it. Thinks he deserves a sobriety medal just for holding down a job.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58See if you can find out where he is.
0:45:59 > 0:46:00I'd like to talk to him.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03WHISTLES
0:46:03 > 0:46:06You can cut that right out, you lickle pervs.
0:46:06 > 0:46:09What do you expect, wearing something like that?
0:46:09 > 0:46:13Do you want me to type your exclusion letter up now, or when it's official?
0:46:16 > 0:46:18You lot, with me.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25Nothing to say for yourselves?
0:46:28 > 0:46:29It's a nice office.
0:46:33 > 0:46:34All right.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38You're all on a week's detention. Get back to lessons.
0:46:39 > 0:46:41Not you, Tariq. HE TUTS
0:46:45 > 0:46:49If there's one thing I hate more than anything else,
0:46:49 > 0:46:51it's potential going to waste.
0:46:51 > 0:46:55There's not many here who could command the sort of loyalty you got
0:46:55 > 0:46:57out of those boys in less than half a day.
0:46:57 > 0:47:00I think you're a natural leader.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06But I want you to channel it.
0:47:09 > 0:47:11- This is a joke, right?- No.
0:47:12 > 0:47:16It's your last chance to show me that you can take some responsibility.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19I'm putting my faith in you. You mess this up, Tariq, you are out.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22Heavy. My dad's gonna be buzzin'.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24Comments like that have got to stop.
0:47:24 > 0:47:29- If you're gonna be a prefect and wear that badge, you lead by example, right?- Yes, Sir.
0:47:32 > 0:47:38Nelson Smith's a foreman on a building site. They've finished for today, but you might find him here.
0:47:38 > 0:47:39Good work.
0:47:39 > 0:47:42Are you sure this is a good idea?
0:47:42 > 0:47:46Well, I'd want my dad to explain why he deserted me, wouldn't you?
0:47:50 > 0:47:53- Oi! You owe me for the damage. - Don't think so.
0:47:53 > 0:47:55Should've wrote it off and done you a favour.
0:47:55 > 0:47:57- I want my money. - You ain't getting nothing.
0:47:57 > 0:48:00- Get your hands off me! - Who are you talking to?
0:48:00 > 0:48:02Oi! Cut it out, the pair of you.
0:48:02 > 0:48:05Shouldn't you be clearing your locker?
0:48:05 > 0:48:09Leadership qualities. Something you wouldn't understand, Sir.
0:48:10 > 0:48:13- Is that for real?- I hope not.
0:48:15 > 0:48:19- The Taylor boys? - Still with the social worker, I'm on my way back up there now.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21Good. Tom, your interview?
0:48:21 > 0:48:24Let's forget it. I'm hardly the strongest candidate.
0:48:24 > 0:48:28- Aren't I the best judge of that? - I think I'd be better off concentrating on the pupils.
0:48:28 > 0:48:30We'll talk about it when I get back.
0:48:35 > 0:48:36You all right?
0:48:37 > 0:48:40So, how does this place compare to your last school?
0:48:40 > 0:48:44- Badly. On ALL levels. - You've got it all wrong about Finn.
0:48:44 > 0:48:49- I'm not interested in someone who'd cheat on their girlfriend. - She's not his girlfriend any more.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52On the rebound. Even better(!)
0:48:52 > 0:48:53She died.
0:48:55 > 0:48:58Oh, right. Sorry.
0:48:58 > 0:49:00No, you weren't to know.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02It should've been us that's sorry.
0:49:03 > 0:49:06- I'm sorry I've been such a bitch. - You said it.
0:49:06 > 0:49:10- Will you give me another chance?- Not like I've got any other mates here.
0:49:10 > 0:49:14And about Finn...he seriously wasn't messing with you.
0:49:14 > 0:49:17I think he's just trying to prove he can move on.
0:49:17 > 0:49:18It's just gonna take him time.
0:49:18 > 0:49:20Will you give him it?
0:49:21 > 0:49:22Suppose.
0:49:32 > 0:49:34Nelson Smith?
0:49:34 > 0:49:36- Maybe.- I'm Michael Byrne,
0:49:36 > 0:49:39your sons' head teacher. Could I have a word?
0:49:39 > 0:49:43- As I told a woman earlier, I'm not interested.- Don't worry, neither are Harley or Phoenix.
0:49:43 > 0:49:47- I don't how you treated them when they were younger, but... - You know nothing about me!
0:49:47 > 0:49:50I know you've a problem with your drink.
0:49:59 > 0:50:03Listen, I've been on the wagon now for eight years.
0:50:03 > 0:50:04I did it for them.
0:50:04 > 0:50:06Save that for your AA meetings.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10Look, I'm not proud of what I did, all right.
0:50:10 > 0:50:13By the time I got straight, that old witch had got custody.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16No-one even told me that their mum had died.
0:50:16 > 0:50:20- That old witch brought up your sons. - And probably did a better job than I could've done.
0:50:20 > 0:50:25Well, now that she's gone, you've the perfect opportunity to find out whether that's true.
0:50:25 > 0:50:28- Those boys need you, Mr Smith. - I've got my life now.
0:50:28 > 0:50:31And I don't need YOU poking your nose into it.
0:50:31 > 0:50:35I'm sorry, I'm not going to let them go into care, while you swan around jollying it up.
0:50:35 > 0:50:39Should I ask around? Maybe there's someone half decent here who can take them in
0:50:39 > 0:50:42because their feckless father can't be bothered.
0:50:44 > 0:50:45They deserve a dad.
0:50:50 > 0:50:51Trudi?
0:50:53 > 0:50:56Look, I wanna say sorry about earlier.
0:50:56 > 0:50:59- I'm not trying to mess you about. - Don't worry about it.
0:50:59 > 0:51:01Lauren told me about Sambuca.
0:51:02 > 0:51:03Reckoned I would have liked her.
0:51:03 > 0:51:07Yeah. You would. You've got the same type of attitude.
0:51:07 > 0:51:09I mean, not that... Like..
0:51:09 > 0:51:10I know what you mean!
0:51:15 > 0:51:17Where are they taking you?
0:51:17 > 0:51:20- What's it to you? - I only grassed because I care.
0:51:20 > 0:51:24- You'd never have got away with it. - She was trying to help.- I'm sorry.
0:51:24 > 0:51:26You're all right.
0:51:28 > 0:51:29Phoenix!
0:51:31 > 0:51:34- I've just been speaking to your dad. - What did you do that for?
0:51:34 > 0:51:35Hear me out, all right.
0:51:35 > 0:51:39- He doesn't drink now and I think he wants to make things right between you.- Just like that?
0:51:39 > 0:51:45I believe him. Everyone deserves a second chance. Going into care is a last resort,
0:51:45 > 0:51:48particularly for you. You looked after Harley and your nan -
0:51:48 > 0:51:50- you're a family man.- And now you want me to look after Dad?
0:51:50 > 0:51:53No, I want you to be able to concentrate on your education.
0:51:53 > 0:51:56I'll keep an eye on your dad, all right,
0:51:56 > 0:51:59make sure he's doing the right thing by both of you. I promise.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04Just give it a go...
0:52:04 > 0:52:05that's all I ask.
0:52:10 > 0:52:12Thanks, Josephine.
0:52:15 > 0:52:16Tom...
0:52:17 > 0:52:20So, about this interview, I think you're right -
0:52:20 > 0:52:22it is a waste of time.
0:52:22 > 0:52:25Like I said, I don't want to be distracted from what's important -
0:52:25 > 0:52:27the pupils.
0:52:27 > 0:52:31Which is exactly the reason I'd like you to have the job.
0:52:31 > 0:52:32What?
0:52:32 > 0:52:34Yes.
0:52:34 > 0:52:38You put these kids first. You're always in their corner.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41They talk to you. And, more importantly, they trust you.
0:52:43 > 0:52:45Right...
0:52:45 > 0:52:48OK, well... it's not what I was expecting.
0:52:48 > 0:52:50There are going to be some big changes ahead, Tom,
0:52:50 > 0:52:53and I want YOU at the helm with me.
0:52:54 > 0:52:56What do you say?
0:52:56 > 0:52:58Yeah.
0:53:07 > 0:53:09Where'd you find that?
0:53:10 > 0:53:14A man of integrity never reveals his sources.
0:53:14 > 0:53:18Would a pint loosen your tongue? My round.
0:53:18 > 0:53:20Pleasure to have you back. Lead the way.
0:53:49 > 0:53:52Open classroom policy. Whoever heard of anything so stupid?
0:53:52 > 0:53:56Well, you've changed your tune. This morning, he was the second coming.
0:53:56 > 0:53:58Well, that was before I met him. Mano a mano.
0:53:58 > 0:54:02- It doesn't always do what it says on the tin.- I agree.
0:54:02 > 0:54:05There's nothing in here about making joyriders prefects.
0:54:05 > 0:54:09- Apparently, he displays signs of leadership.- Psychosis, more like.
0:54:09 > 0:54:12I think it would be boring without the Tariqs of this world.
0:54:12 > 0:54:14I'm talking about Michael Byrne.
0:54:14 > 0:54:17- Careful, that's her ex you're slagging off.- Sorry, what?
0:54:17 > 0:54:21- Jez!- You, er... You and Michael?
0:54:21 > 0:54:24Had a fling. Just before you saw the light, eh, darling?
0:54:24 > 0:54:28- Oh, my God. How come he didn't give you the Deputy Head job, then?- What?
0:54:29 > 0:54:31Oh...I'm sorry.
0:54:31 > 0:54:33Me and my big gob.
0:54:33 > 0:54:35It's fine.
0:54:35 > 0:54:37Congratulations, Tom.
0:54:37 > 0:54:38Thank you.
0:54:38 > 0:54:42I'm sorry that you had to hear about it like that.
0:54:42 > 0:54:43No hard feelings, though, eh?
0:54:43 > 0:54:47Eh, but don't tell him that I said, I'm on probation as it is.
0:54:53 > 0:54:57I think it was Wilde who said, "There is only one thing worse than being talked about.
0:54:57 > 0:55:00"That's not being talked about."
0:55:02 > 0:55:04Same again, folks?
0:55:06 > 0:55:10- Same again for that table. - You could've told me you'd given Tom the job.
0:55:10 > 0:55:16- Worried about allegations of favouritism? Jez told them about us. - You only have half the story.
0:55:19 > 0:55:21Everyone, as you know,
0:55:21 > 0:55:26two excellent candidates applied for the deputy headship. They have varied,
0:55:26 > 0:55:28but complementary qualities,
0:55:28 > 0:55:32so I have decided that they should both get the job.
0:55:36 > 0:55:39I'd like to thank you for all your efforts today.
0:55:39 > 0:55:41Your drinks are on the way.
0:55:41 > 0:55:43Are you not joining us, Mr Byrne?
0:55:43 > 0:55:48No, I'll see you all tomorrow morning bright and early. There's something I have to do.
0:55:50 > 0:55:52Sian...
0:55:54 > 0:55:56..thanks for your support today.
0:55:56 > 0:56:00And I'm sorry about everything I said after the court.
0:56:00 > 0:56:02I'm glad you were there.
0:56:03 > 0:56:05Oh, and Grantly...
0:56:05 > 0:56:07nice try with the door.
0:56:09 > 0:56:12It's been decommissioned. GIGGLING
0:56:12 > 0:56:15Well, to Tom...and Sian.
0:56:35 > 0:56:38RAVE MUSIC BLARES
0:56:54 > 0:56:58Just me and you now, Wayne, no police, no courts, just me and you.
0:56:58 > 0:57:00- What do you want?- A confession,
0:57:00 > 0:57:02I want to hear you say it!
0:57:02 > 0:57:04Innocent until proven guilty.
0:57:04 > 0:57:06And you couldn't prove jack!
0:57:06 > 0:57:08I'll be the judge of that.
0:57:08 > 0:57:11- So let's try that again, right? - I didn't do it!
0:57:11 > 0:57:13- Not good enough.- I'm innocent!
0:57:14 > 0:57:16Wayne?
0:57:54 > 0:57:56We need to talk.
0:57:56 > 0:57:59You can't just turn up like this. Mr Byrne,
0:57:59 > 0:58:02this is my ex-wife and my children.
0:58:02 > 0:58:03Trudi! Let's go!
0:58:04 > 0:58:07- No, Finn, please. - If you come near her again,
0:58:07 > 0:58:09I WILL kill ya!
0:58:09 > 0:58:13- He's drunk.- No, I'm not! - He is. I saw him.
0:58:13 > 0:58:17What ARE you talking about? I haven't been drinking. I don't drink!
0:58:17 > 0:58:18Madi?
0:58:18 > 0:58:23- Now everyone knows the truth. - Madi, I didn't take your father away from you.- You're a liar!
