0:00:03 > 0:00:06Two excellent candidates for the deputy headship, so they both get the job.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Just imagine what you could be like with a bit of practice, huh?!
0:00:09 > 0:00:12I can't, can I? I haven't got a guitar.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15- Don't want anything to do with these losers. - That's my decision, not yours.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18If you want a guitar, I'll get you one.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22- We need the numbers today.- One of the downsides of management, that -
0:00:22 > 0:00:25- having to trot out the party line, mmm?- I'm a teacher,
0:00:25 > 0:00:30- which means trying to inspire then educate the kids. - My department, my methods.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48ROCK MUSIC PLAYS
0:01:18 > 0:01:21How did we do on attendances last week?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26We... Er, better.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Only 14 cases of truancy. Usual suspects.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- "Only"?- I think Tom's saying we're moving in the right direction.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Well, it's not good enough. We need to inspire each and every one of these kids.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Er, with respect, I don't think any of us are capable of that.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Well, I have a secret weapon. - Really? What?
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Not what.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Who.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51ROCK MUSIC PLAYS
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- Looks like fun. - Yeah, well, I aim to please.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13You're doing very well so far.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- What do you reckon? - Yeah, it's nice.- Nice...
0:02:27 > 0:02:29OK.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Well, it's not as if she's been on holiday.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Yeah, well, I'm just happy to have her home.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Listen, there's not a day gone by when I haven't thought of your sister cooped up in that cell.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43And this is a new start. Go back to normal.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Sitting round the dinner table, taking the mick out of each other.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Arguing about who's better-looking - Robbie Williams or Jason Orange.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54I'm not stupid. Lindsey's going to find it tough. I know that.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56But we can help her find her feet.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Everything's OK, isn't it?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06It's fine. You're going to be late for school.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Well, why can't I go with you? It's just for one day.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12She'll be here when you get back.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Listen, love, we just have to tread carefully, OK?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Now go on, you're going to be late.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22See you later.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Bye.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Ah-ha! The oasis of calm.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Linda Radleigh. New head of English.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Hi. I'm Sian Diamond, deputy head. Er, this is Matt, music...
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Chalky, maths. Er, Tom Clarkson, one of yours...
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Morning, and the other deputy head.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41And this is Grantly...Budgen.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45He's been doing a sterling job as acting head of department.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47You knew?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50I only found out this morning, let's just move on, hey?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54That man has brushed me aside without so much as a "by your leave"!
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I'm sure he meant nothing by it.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58I am this school's elder statesman,
0:03:58 > 0:04:02and it's about time someone taught Michael respect.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Hello, you!
0:04:03 > 0:04:06I've got a bottle of single malt in the car with your name on it.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- You shouldn't have. - It was a get-well present,
0:04:09 > 0:04:11but you slipped under the radar after the stabbing.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- I'm sure everybody will make you feel at home. - I've never been head-hunted before.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18We've known each other since teacher training.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20This is her first HOD post, but not before time.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Flattery will get you everywhere.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25She'll be shadowing you two today, getting a feel for the department.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- Excuse me.- Tom how are you fixed later on? One of our Year 11s
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- needs a spot of pastoral care - Emily James?- Oh. Trouble at home?
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- Potentially, yeah. Her sister's out of prison today.- What did she do?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Manslaughter.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Pleaded self-defence.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Don't they all?- Kid should never have gone to prison in the first place.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- The courts obviously didn't think so. - Linda...
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Her father was sexually abusing her.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Sorry, I've already drawn the short straw for lunchtime detention.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Oh, I don't mind. She can help me get my bearings - my own Passepartout!
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- Just make sure she stays in school. - So what's the deal?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Mrs James hasn't heard from Lindsey in weeks.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Seems she doesn't want to come home. She needs to find out what's wrong.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Emily turning up at the prison is the last thing she needs.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- Doesn't this Emily have a right to know?- It's for her own good.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15"Children abdicate responsibility because the system encourages them."
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Isn't that one of yours? - Everything has a context.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Right, now remember, this is a new week so I want your best behaviour.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- Whatever.- I mean it, Madi. That was your first and last exclusion.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Sian's got enough on her plate as it is. Listen, do me a favour...
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Put one of them up in your form room, and you.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- I can count on the pair of you to be there, right?- You are kidding?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41What with him keeping me up last night?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43I couldn't sleep, that's all!
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- Listen, mate, is there anything on your mind?- Just drop it, yeah?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Come on, mate you can talk to me...
0:05:52 > 0:05:54All right, Em - when's this party?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- You're joking, right? - Your sister's going to want to let her hair down.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59After everything she's been through?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02No way. I'm taking it nice and easy.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Oi! Oi! Don't go flashing that about!
0:06:05 > 0:06:09It's not like I can practise at home, is it?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Can't hear above the telly. - Well, your mum needs her hearing tested!
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- She needs a kick up the backside. - What's up?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Liam's not coming home.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Social services came to do an assessment,
0:06:21 > 0:06:23and my mum couldn't be bothered
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- getting out of her PJs. - You two need to team up and sort both your mums out.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29My situation and hers isn't the same.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32No offence, but we're not exactly chavs, are we?
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- Who are you calling a chav...?! - Hey, you two! Pack it in!
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- She started it!- I don't care. BELL RINGS
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Class - now!
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Welcome to Waterloo Road.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51You know, Michael and I always said we'd end up working together.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- Yeah, he said you were at teacher training college. - Oh, many moons ago.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57We thought we'd change the world.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Well, Michael's certainly made a start.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02We've bumped into each other on the conference circuit ever since.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Well, hotel bars, mainly.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Turns out we're both suckers for a single malt.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- God, that makes me sound like such a lush.- Oh, not at all.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12All right, darling?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- Hey!- This is my husband, Jez, and this is Linda Radleigh.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Hi... Well, er, I'll leave you to it.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24- Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt. - No, it's fine.- Is it?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Only I got up this morning and you were gone.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31I'm sorry, I should've left you a note. Michael called a meeting, first thing.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34It's OK. Things will calm down eventually.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Yeah, well, I wish I could say the same about Zack.- Not again.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Yeah. I found his sheets in the dryer. I mean, he's 14!
0:07:40 > 0:07:43So, he wet the bed. It's not the end of the world.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45It's probably just the upheaval.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Would you talk to him? I reckon he'll open up to you.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- He won't talk to me.- I'm hardly flavour of the month, am I?
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Please, cos...
0:07:53 > 0:07:55..he just won't open up to me.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57You'll find a way.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- Oh!- You should have got her acacias.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Sorry?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Floriography. Language of flowers.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28The Victorians had way too much time on their hands.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Yellow acacias mean secret love.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36Oh, no, no, no. I'm just the messenger.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37It's...
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I haven't got the guts to ask her face-to-face.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Faint heart never won fair maiden.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- How was the tour?- Eye-opening.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55A hotbed of romance.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57That's teenagers for you.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Well, I wasn't talking about the students.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I just met Sian's husband. Jez?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I would never have put those two together.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06How's your classroom?
0:09:06 > 0:09:10It's nice. Just needs zhuzhing up a bit.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Sounds ominous.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15I wanted to say thanks for the opportunity.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- I'm sure you had plenty of other people in mind.- No contest.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22I don't have time to micro-manage. I need self-starters on my team.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24You won't regret it. I promise.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29You've a free hand with your department. Anybody gives you any grief, let me know.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Aye-aye, captain.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- All right, sir?- Not really, no. Have any of you seen my guitar?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43If I do, I'll give it a good plucking.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49What's up with Wilding, has he ran out of hair gel?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- Looks like you had most of it. - You know, gotta make an effort.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Never know who might be giving you the eye.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Have you not got the message, or do I have to spell it out for you?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- You can spell, too? Did you learn that in the ASBO class? - Cheeky little...
0:10:02 > 0:10:04You two. Curb it.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Inside, now, please.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I told you not to wind him up.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Own goal, mate. Own goal.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17This is my classroom.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Where's the door?
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Michael's idea. Encourages transparency and cohesion.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Apparently.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28And this lovely lot are my year 13s. So, if you'd like to join me.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Actually I think I'll sit in on Grantly's class.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Your wish is my command.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40The skin cracks...
0:10:42 > 0:10:45..like a pod.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Does anyone know what the poet is referring to?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56The scorched earth, write it down.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Hey, you, whiteboard's that-a-way.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Sorry, Miss. I've got to get this finished, it's for my sister.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08So you're Emily James.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10How do you know?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Just get on with your work. - Am I in trouble or something?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I've been asked to keep an eye on you, that's all.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Why? What have I done?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Don't worry. It's not you.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Well, what is it, then?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- Well, your mum called...- My mum?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28When? Has this got something to do with my sister?
0:11:28 > 0:11:32The best thing you can do is stay in school, let your mum deal with it.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Deal with what?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Tell me!
0:11:36 > 0:11:40She's a bit worried your sister might not be coming home. I'm sure it's nothing.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45I take it you aren't enraptured by my teaching style.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Sorry. It's just...
0:11:46 > 0:11:51regurgitating facts kind of went out with elbow patches and tank tops.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Though that one is very nice.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00And how do you propose we enlighten these lost souls?
0:12:00 > 0:12:01BELL RINGS
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Right, everyone. Follow me.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13I thought you had a double period.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Linda is about to show me where I've been going wrong all these years.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Well, the more the merrier, eh?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Mum? It's me. will you call me when you get this message?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Ah, no happy ever after? Shame.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Well, you'd know all about that, wouldn't you?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31If you ask me, your brother's better off in care.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Er, Liam's got no choice.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Sounds like your sister doesn't even want to come home.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43Trudi! I'm sorry, I shouldn't have wound your brother up. I won't do it again.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Look, the party. I made a mistake. I don't know what I was doing.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- I had a pretty good idea. - Take the hint, will you?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50It's not going to happen.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- Come on, at least give me a reason, then?- Why do you think?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- I'm not scared of your brother. - He's out on licence.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I'm not doing this to protect YOU.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11""Brass, copper, aluminium, plastic buckets,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14"frantic hands like naked children screaming in the liquid sun,

0:13:16 > 0:13:19"Flashing light, as the blessing sings over their small bones!"
0:13:21 > 0:13:25So what does the metre tell us about the poem?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Yes? Sorry, don't know your name. - Scout.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31It's like a dripping tap, and then it changes to like, a gush.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34All hail Scout!
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- All very "a la mode", I'm sure. - Grantly...
0:13:37 > 0:13:40What, you don't approve?
0:13:40 > 0:13:45Nearly 30 years I've been doing this job.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50Fads ebb and flow like the tides pounding the cliffs of common sense,

0:13:59 > 0:14:01Er, where do you think you're going?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Right, let's get rid of this rubbish.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Er, I need the toilet, Miss. - Really?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08You can't not let me go.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- It's against my human rights. - Fine. After you.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- I don't need a chaperone. I do know where I'm going. - That makes two of us.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25Oi!
0:14:25 > 0:14:28A sorry wouldn't go amiss. Why aren't you boys in class?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Emily?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Emily? Stop mucking about.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Emily?
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Emily!
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Stupid thing.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Problem, Janeece?
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Ta-da! I only passed my administration course. A merit, no less.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Well, maybe we should sign you up for a basic DIY course.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Oh, no more probation for me, then?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Congratulations.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Linda! Have you met our new head of English?
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- This is Janeece, my secretary. - Personal assistant, nice to meet you.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Likewise.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Linda's a one-off.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26A real inspiration, and the kids love her.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Yeah, well, if there's anything that you need, just ask.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35- I was wondering. Do you still have Lindsey James's file?- Problem?
0:15:35 > 0:15:40- Just familiarising myself with the family. - See? That's what I expect from you.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Thorough. I'll leave you to it.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Lovely flowers, Janeece.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Ah, they're from a secret admirer.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- All yours.- Thanks.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01You and I both know he should have advertised the job internally.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03I appreciate what you're saying.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06And you stood by and let it happen.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I didn't know.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09I didn't!
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Even his storm troopers are kept in the dark.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16The man is acting like a dictator.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23- Lost your way again, Janeece? - Er, no, actually, I need a sort of vase to put these in.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- They're gonna wilt otherwise. - Are you brightening up the office?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28I've got a secret admirer.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35- So, em, what's this I'm hearing about a fit club? - Oh, why, are you interested?
0:16:35 > 0:16:37I love getting sweaty, me.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Count me in. I'll help to organise it, if you like?
0:16:40 > 0:16:45- I know my star jumps from my squat thrusts. - Out to impress Janeece, eh?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47I'll look forward to it, Chalky.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- Hey...- All right? - How did it go with Zack? - I haven't had a chance yet.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Oh, well, he's down in the canteen now if you want to catch him.
0:16:54 > 0:16:55- You know what, good idea.- Yeah.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Sian, are you free to go over the departmental budgets with me later?
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- Yeah, course. - Er, sorry, did I miss something?
0:17:04 > 0:17:09Sian was going to cast a forensic eye over the budgets.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13- Well, you know what they say. Two heads are better than one.- Great.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Thanks.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16Tough morning?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- Worse.- Somebody stole his guitar, apparently.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22I've had her since university.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Tenner says it's already in a pawnbroker's window.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Excuse me. I need to see my sister. She's being released today.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Lindsey, Lindsey James.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50James? Er...
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Right, James...
0:17:53 > 0:17:56I'm afraid you've missed her. She's gone. She went first thing.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Where?- Don't ask me. I just get paid to jangle the keys.
0:18:00 > 0:18:06# No matter how well you play your hand... #
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Emily!
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- Not so fast. - I've got to get home.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- The only place you're going is back to school.- But Lindsey'll be there. She's not here.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Look, just wait.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Fine, I'll give you a lift, all right?
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- Can you pack it in for five minutes? - Who made you the boss of me?
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- Is that... Oi! That's my guitar?- Oi!
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- Stealing people's property is a very serious offence.- I didn't.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44Give me one good reason why I shouldn't march you both to the headmaster's office?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Ah, give her a break, sir. She just really wants to learn.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Theft is theft, however well-intentioned.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Sorry, sir.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Strike one.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00- You nicked that guitar? - It's the thought that counts, right?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Lindsey!
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Lindsey!
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- What are you doing home? - Where's Lindsey?
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- Linda Radleigh, Emily's English teacher.- I'm sorry, love. I tried. I really did.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35What do you mean, you tried?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39She can't face it. Too many memories.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- Where is she?- I don't know.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- You don't know?- She was granted an early morning release, she didn't tell me.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- I thought she was still there. - But why didn't you tell me there was a problem?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Listen, I only just found out this morning.- You're doing it again.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Don't lie to me. I know you spoke to school.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02I just needed to speak to Lindsey on my own. I didn't want to worry you.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05How long have you known for?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I had my suspicions.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I thought I was just being a typical mum and over-worrying,
0:20:11 > 0:20:15- but then when she didn't show for the visit... - That was three weeks ago!
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- You told me she was fine! - She didn't return my letters.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20I thought if I could just talk to her...
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Save you the heartache.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25And her phone calls? You lied about them too?
0:20:25 > 0:20:27I'm not a kid any more.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I could've handled it. I could've helped.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33- Nothing would've changed Lindsey's mind, I promise you.- Promise me?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36You expect me to believe a word you say?
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Emily! Wait! Please.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Maybe you should let the dust settle.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44I'll look after her.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52How was your week off? Manage to shift your hangover?
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Bet your house is like comedy central at the moment, innit?
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Nah, Sian's tripping over herself to be nice to me.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02It was a great flat-warming, by the way.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Well, what I can remember of it.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- You can party hard, I'll give you that.- So when's the next one?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09I wouldn't hold your breath.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- We'll be lucky if we make this month's rent.- Shame.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- What did she want?- What? Apart from my body and my brains?
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Body, maybe.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27She was just being friendly, that's all.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35How can Lindsey do this to me?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38How can she leave me with her?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Your mum only did what she thought was right.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43You have no idea what it's like.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47The last two years...
0:21:47 > 0:21:49it's been awful.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Come on, hey, it's OK.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Forget it. Doesn't matter.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Why don't we do this somewhere comfier? Give me half an hour
0:22:00 > 0:22:03and I'll meet you in the pastoral care room, eh?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07What's the point?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Nobody cares how I feel.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Hey. I care.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Fit Club does exactly what it says on the tin.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24But it's not just for students, it's for staff too.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26And if Mr Chalk can do it, anyone can.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31Now the final exercise on the circuit is the plank.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33I'm going to need a volunteer.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- Janeece.- Ooh!
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Press-up position but on your elbows and forearms, please.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- Oi, what do you think you're playing at? - Oh, so I'm not invisible, then.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Zack, mate, come on!
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- Do I have to hold this for much longer?- Sorry. Right, OK.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54No, keep your back straight, that's it. There you go.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Oh, I hope that you've got nice warm hands.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Sorry, I don't think that's appropriate, Mr Diamond.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Thanks for your input, Mr Chalk. OK, Janeece, up you get.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Right, now everyone go to a station
0:23:05 > 0:23:08and you're going to move in a clockwise direction until
0:23:08 > 0:23:10you've completed every exercise on the circuit.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14You've got one minute on each. Wait for my whistle.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16Quicker!
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Right, on my whistle.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Oh, that's a good look, Chalky.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26WHISTLE BLOWS Get on with it.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Straight backs.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37Keep going, boys, come on.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39You can do better than that, come on.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14WHISTLE BLOWS
0:24:22 > 0:24:24WHISTLE BLOWS
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Someone's had their three Shredded Wheat, in't they, mate?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Ah, come on Chalky, you can do better than that.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- Timber! - Oh, my God, Chalky! What's up?
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Oh, my God! Umm, compressions.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- What are you doing? - He's having a heart attack!
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- Just stop! - I've lost count now!
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- Look, he's got a pulse. You'll kill him.- Please don't die.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- Please don't die.- Right, Janeece, get an ambulance now.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02You're going to be all right, Chalky, mate.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Ambulance is on its way, son.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Oi! Pick it up!
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Make me.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21And I thought you were supposed to be pretty bright.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23You don't know anything about me.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26I know a stuck-up cow when I see one.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Should've known you're all talk.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32You don't know how lucky you are. You've got your sister back.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37- Just try being grateful for once in your life! - Lindsey's not coming home!
0:25:45 > 0:25:46It's well mad.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- Chalky's not even that old. - About the same age as my dad.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Just goes to show, don't it. Carpe diem and all that.
0:25:54 > 0:26:00- Finn. We've been through this.- It doesn't mean we can't be friends. We can still chill together.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Tariq wouldn't like it. He can't do compromise.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04He doesn't have to know.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07You wouldn't tell anyone? Not even Josh?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Not if you don't want me to.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13Yeah?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Any luck?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Lindsey's number doesn't work.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Is that her?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36We went to Leeds. See the ballet.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39Lindsey loved all that.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Said she'd move there one day.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Just so she could go every week.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51I can't remember the last time I was that happy.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Were you close?
0:26:54 > 0:26:58We were, but it's not so easy
0:26:58 > 0:27:01when you're sat opposite each other in a visiting room.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02Suppose.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Why would she want to know what goes on in school?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11All she could talk about was life inside.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13Different world.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18No wonder she wanted to start again.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20I would.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24Who wants to be the daughter of a paedo?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26So...
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Stuff everyone else.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Be who you want to be.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37I've got to go.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- I'll go with him. - Just keep me updated.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Look, you're going to be all right, do you hear me?
0:28:30 > 0:28:32I was beginning to think you'd changed your mind.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Slipped out the back door.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- How's Emily? - Oh, all taken care of.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39What's taken care of?
0:28:39 > 0:28:43Emily spoke to her mum. She knows Lindsey's not coming home.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45- Is she OK? - Oh, she's fine.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49- How was your lesson with Grantly? - Prehistoric. The man's a dinosaur.
0:28:49 > 0:28:54And we know what happened to them. Have you got a moment to sign off on your department budget?
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Yeah, yeah, that's fine.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08I don't suppose you've seen Emily James?
0:29:08 > 0:29:10AWOL again? Oh, dear.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Once is careless.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- Twice is negligent. - OK, Grantly, I get it.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17You don't like me.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19But hey, news flash, I couldn't give two hoots.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Really(?)
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Michael's 100% behind me.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25He really values my opinion.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- You'd do very well to remember that. - Are you threatening me?
0:29:28 > 0:29:32You don't like the way I do things, you know where the door is.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33In fact,
0:29:33 > 0:29:35I'd be happy to open it for you.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Could I have your attention, please?
0:30:28 > 0:30:31I'm sure you've all heard the news about Daniel.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35- Is there any word from the hospital? - When I hear anything, I'll let you know.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37I will be arranging a replacement,
0:30:37 > 0:30:41but in the meantime, I'll be asking some of you to step into the breach.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42And that's all. Back to work.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Oh, business as usual.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46- Chalky's a footnote.- Grantly...
0:30:46 > 0:30:50No, no. If he has a grievance, let's hear it.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56We are working our fingers to the bone - for what?
0:30:56 > 0:31:00For your apparatchiks to waltz in and steal all the glory.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01Excuse me?
0:31:01 > 0:31:06I should have been offered the chance to apply for the HOD post.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08You really want to do this here?
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Why not?
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Since you are such a fan of transparency and cohesion.
0:31:15 > 0:31:16All right.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21I didn't think you were a strong candidate.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24You were happy enough to make me acting head.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Tom's deputy head, that left me with a choice of one.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29That doesn't mean that you can flout the rules.
0:31:29 > 0:31:30There are procedures.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34The board of governors agreed I could bring in key members of staff.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Oh, I thought my ears were burning.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47It's against the law and you are not above it.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50- You cannot bring in who you like, how you like.- Those were my terms.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56A school cannot be run without teachers, right?
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Grantly, get to the point.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01What is it that you're trying to say?
0:32:01 > 0:32:02You've left me no option.
0:32:04 > 0:32:05As of now, we are on strike.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Don't be so ridiculous!
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Until the union gets back to us,
0:32:10 > 0:32:12we shall not be entering the classroom.
0:32:13 > 0:32:18No, he's right. The union's got guidelines - this is discrimination.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Are you really sure about this?
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Mm-hmm.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03I'm just saying, Michael was the one who appointed me.
0:33:03 > 0:33:04It just seems a bit disloyal.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08This is about standing shoulder to shoulder with your comrades.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Or did you join the union for the free pen?
0:33:12 > 0:33:13Go on, Sir. Stick it to the man!
0:33:13 > 0:33:14What's all this?
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Teachers are on strike!
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Listen up, everybody, it's party time,
0:33:18 > 0:33:20cos teachers are on strike!
0:33:20 > 0:33:21Wooo!
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Everyone, teachers are on strike!
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Scout.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- Have you seen Em?- No, why?
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Well, there's nothing in her locker.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Excuse me?
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Have you got room for a little one?
0:33:51 > 0:33:53- Where are you heading?- Leeds.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Must be your lucky day.
0:33:58 > 0:33:59Cheers.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Lindsay this, Lindsay that.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13That's all Em's been banging on about for the past few months.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14What? And now she's not coming home?
0:34:14 > 0:34:18- Well, it doesn't necessarily mean she's run away.- Oh, Scout, tell her.
0:34:18 > 0:34:23- She's pretty cut up about it. - Let's not jump the gun.- She's not answering her mobile!- OK, OK!
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Any idea where she might have gone? You know, people, places.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Leeds. She said her sister wanted to move there.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30- It's a long shot. - What if she's trying to find her?
0:34:30 > 0:34:36You're in charge of the map. Keep trying her mobile. Phone us if you hear anything. Come on.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47PHONE RINGS
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Someone's desperate.
0:34:55 > 0:34:56What was it?
0:34:56 > 0:34:58Row with your fella?
0:34:58 > 0:35:00I've not got a boyfriend.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05How many teachers are we down?
0:35:05 > 0:35:06Seven at the last count.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07Make that eight.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Jez is there too.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11There's no way we can cover that amount of staff.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Then we utilise the teaching assistants.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16They can supervise classes and hand out worksheets.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20- Keep this disruption to an absolute minimum.- I think it might be a bit late for that.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23The union won't back this.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25The afternoon off? There must be a God!
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Let's hope it's smiling on Chalky.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Yeah. So what are we going to do then? Just chill back at ours?
0:35:30 > 0:35:32No, I've got loads of chemistry to do.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36Mrs Diamond wants three sides on isotopes and atomic structures.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37Sounds riveting!
0:35:37 > 0:35:40And I've got to do notes on genetic code and sexual reproduction.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- That's more my area of expertise. - Is that all you think about?
0:35:43 > 0:35:46All right! I'll just work on my new business plan.
0:35:46 > 0:35:47What business plan?
0:35:47 > 0:35:51Actually, I think I'm just going to go to the library and get my head down.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52Yeah, me too.
0:35:52 > 0:35:53See what you've done?
0:35:53 > 0:35:57Hey! Where do you think you're going?
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- Back to lessons now!- If the teachers can't be bothered, why should we?
0:36:00 > 0:36:01Ten seconds, starting now.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Knew it were too good to be true.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11There was nearly a God though.
0:36:19 > 0:36:20'Hello?'
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Hello, Em?
0:36:22 > 0:36:24'Got you! Leave a message.'
0:36:37 > 0:36:38So what's in Leeds?
0:36:38 > 0:36:41I'm...at uni.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Brains and beauty, eh?
0:36:43 > 0:36:44Well, I'm not sure about that.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50I bet you're not short of offers, stunner like you.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57I haven't really got time for a relationship right now.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59I'm the same. Why tie yourself down?
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Plenty of time for all that.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Exactly.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Sow your oats while you're young.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07That's what I say.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17GIGGLING AND SHOUTING
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Everyone back to class now!
0:37:24 > 0:37:25NOW, do you understand me?
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Look out! Look out!
0:37:27 > 0:37:29SCREAMING
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Zack! Stop it! Stop it!
0:37:33 > 0:37:37- Get out of my way. What the hell do you think you're doing? - Taking a leaf out of Madi's book.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40Well, this isn't helping, is it? Get to the cooler, now!
0:37:40 > 0:37:45Let's just get them in the hall, all right? So we at least know where they are. Hall - now!
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- I thought you said Leeds. - A man's got to eat.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04But we were just at a service station.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Nah, soulless places.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09There's a beautiful spot just up here.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Trust me. You'll love it.
0:38:22 > 0:38:23Come on, Miss.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Can't we just go home?
0:38:25 > 0:38:28TEXT MESSAGE ALERT
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Denzil, you know the rules. There's no... Denzil!
0:38:31 > 0:38:32Denzil!
0:38:35 > 0:38:37MOBILE PHONE RINGS
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Denzil, is she all right?
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Where? Miss!
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Miss, it's Denzil.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47- What's he saying? - Emily's stuck in some van.
0:38:47 > 0:38:52- He's really worried about her. - What do you mean, "stuck"? - Shhh... Say it again?
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- He's just come off the motorway - junction 22.- Take that.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06# Can you feel it coming?
0:39:06 > 0:39:09# Can you feel it coming?
0:39:09 > 0:39:11# Can you feel it coming?
0:39:11 > 0:39:12# Can you feel it coming?
0:39:12 > 0:39:15# Move back his wrecking ball
0:39:15 > 0:39:17# Reach through the package
0:39:17 > 0:39:18# More violence, he's coming
0:39:18 > 0:39:22# He's coming, he's coming
0:39:22 > 0:39:24# Move back his wrecking ball
0:39:24 > 0:39:26# Reach through the package
0:39:26 > 0:39:28# More violence, he's coming
0:39:28 > 0:39:31# I'm running, I'm running. #
0:39:31 > 0:39:32Told you, didn't I?
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Sandwiches.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42What? Do you think I'd hurt you?
0:39:46 > 0:39:51- Um, can you help me with the door? It's stuck.- Course.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01What are you doing?
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Open the door.
0:40:05 > 0:40:06Open the door.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Open the door!
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Open the door!
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Open the door NOW! Open it!
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Grantly's made it perfectly clear where he stands.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23But we can still rescue this.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Management require 48 hours' notice for a strike - union rules.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29So?
0:40:29 > 0:40:31So they've made themselves eligible for the sack.
0:40:31 > 0:40:32You're not serious?
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Our priority is to provide our students
0:40:34 > 0:40:36with the best education possible.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40You can't do that standing on a picket line.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42- You can tell them they've until the end of today.- Me?
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Surely it's going to be better coming from you.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47You'd rather I ask Sian?
0:40:47 > 0:40:48No...
0:40:48 > 0:40:50No, I'll do it.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57- Leave me alone! - Open the door!
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Emily!
0:41:11 > 0:41:13- Get him away from me. - What have you done to her?
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Nothing.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17Not that it's any of YOUR business.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18Well, it is my business.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20I'm her English teacher. Emily's 15!
0:41:20 > 0:41:21Eh?
0:41:23 > 0:41:27I thought I was doing her a favour. This is the thanks I get?
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Well, I suggest you get in your van and clear off.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30I need my keys.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Here!
0:41:36 > 0:41:41Let's get you back to your mum, eh? I'll give her a tinkle, get her to meet us at school.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43I need to find my sister.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46You have to let her go, for now at least.
0:41:46 > 0:41:47But why?
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Because she's... She's changed.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54She's a different person.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Deep down you know that.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Because I'm guessing you have, too.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Everything used to be so simple.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07Lindsay needs time to find out who she is.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Move on with her life.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13You all do, eh?
0:42:14 > 0:42:15Come on.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Up for visitors?
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Your daughter's having kittens out there.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38It's a work colleague.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Oh. I'll go and get her, shall I?
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Do you want to come in?
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Is he going to be OK?
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Aren't you a sight for sore eyes?
0:42:56 > 0:42:57Really?
0:43:03 > 0:43:06Thank God you're all right.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10I don't think I would've forgiven myself if... You know...
0:43:11 > 0:43:14- I didn't know you cared so much. - I nearly killed you!
0:43:14 > 0:43:16Sorry?
0:43:16 > 0:43:18It was that CPR.
0:43:18 > 0:43:22I think I need to take a refreshers course.
0:43:22 > 0:43:23It's OK.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25What did the doc say?
0:43:25 > 0:43:27Turns out it was angina.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29What's that?
0:43:29 > 0:43:31Wake-up call.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35Do you know, there was one thought
0:43:35 > 0:43:38just kept going round and round in my head...
0:43:38 > 0:43:42- Who's going to miss me when I'm gone?- Hey, I'd miss you!
0:43:42 > 0:43:47You're the only one that saves me any biscuits in the staff room.
0:43:47 > 0:43:48Stingy gits!
0:43:48 > 0:43:50There's something you should know.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53I...
0:43:54 > 0:43:55The flowers...
0:43:57 > 0:43:58It was...
0:44:01 > 0:44:02You?
0:44:02 > 0:44:06I thought perhaps we could...
0:44:08 > 0:44:09..go out?
0:44:11 > 0:44:13I'm touched, Chalky.
0:44:13 > 0:44:16- I'll take that as a "No" then.- No!
0:44:16 > 0:44:18I am, really.
0:44:18 > 0:44:19You're kind,
0:44:19 > 0:44:22funny, caring...
0:44:24 > 0:44:26Maybe if I was a bit older though.
0:44:26 > 0:44:31It was just meant to be a prank, you know, a wind-up between mates.
0:44:31 > 0:44:32Got you!
0:44:32 > 0:44:34Listen, you...
0:44:36 > 0:44:39The right woman is out there, somewhere.
0:44:40 > 0:44:44- I'm going to come see you tomorrow. - Really?
0:44:44 > 0:44:45Try and stop me.
0:45:01 > 0:45:02Hey, what's going on?
0:45:02 > 0:45:04- We're on strike.- Apparently.
0:45:04 > 0:45:07But there's always room for you on a picket line, Janeece.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10Oh, so I'm one of you when it suits?
0:45:10 > 0:45:12Um, how's Chalky? Is there any news?
0:45:12 > 0:45:15Yeah, he's all right. The doctor said that he's got Angora.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17An-gina.
0:45:17 > 0:45:20Angora's a country, isn't it?
0:45:20 > 0:45:22Yeah, well... I knew that.
0:45:22 > 0:45:23I was just testing you.
0:45:23 > 0:45:25It's where the jumpers come from.
0:45:25 > 0:45:26HE SCOFFS
0:45:27 > 0:45:30Ah, come to join the proletariat?
0:45:30 > 0:45:34- No, I didn't think so. - Here to...negotiate?
0:45:34 > 0:45:35Not exactly, no.
0:45:37 > 0:45:39Look, you're breaking union regs.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42Michael needs 48 hours' notice.
0:45:42 > 0:45:46- Continue with this strike and you're all eligible for the sack.- Ha!
0:45:46 > 0:45:51- Look, don't shoot the messenger. - I think "turncoat" is the word you're groping for.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55You should know, Zack's in the cooler.
0:45:55 > 0:45:58He's been letting off fire extinguishers.
0:45:58 > 0:46:02- I'd better go and deal with that. - What about your comrades? - Family comes first.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05- And what's your excuse? - Uh, mortgage? Sorry.
0:46:09 > 0:46:11First, the stunt in the yard, now this.
0:46:11 > 0:46:14- Do you want to get chucked out? - That's the general idea.- You what?
0:46:14 > 0:46:18Face it, I'm an embarrassment.
0:46:18 > 0:46:23- HE SIGHS - I'm very proud to call you my son.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26You and Madi will always be my greatest achievement.
0:46:26 > 0:46:30Swiftly followed by the hat-trick I scored against City in the FA Trophy.
0:46:30 > 0:46:34Why do you do that? Cover everything serious with a joke.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38I'm sorry. It's...
0:46:38 > 0:46:40It's just your mum was good at that stuff.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42But you don't even try.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53Look, erm... It's just hard for me, Zack,
0:46:53 > 0:46:55being your teacher and being your dad.
0:46:55 > 0:46:58The bed-wetting - it's nothing to be ashamed of.
0:46:58 > 0:47:03I remember this one time, I was doing night exercises with the TA...
0:47:03 > 0:47:04Here we go, any excuse.
0:47:04 > 0:47:09I was hunkered down in a foxhole, right? And...I was bursting.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13I had no option, I just had to pee myself.
0:47:13 > 0:47:14Is that true?
0:47:14 > 0:47:16Mm-hmm.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19I pretended it was sweat. Lads didn't buy it though.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22Not for a second.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24But it turned out it wasn't really a big deal.
0:47:29 > 0:47:31We're all still adjusting.
0:47:33 > 0:47:36But I will always be there for you.
0:47:37 > 0:47:41I mean, you and me, mate, we're the A-Team.
0:47:43 > 0:47:47So why don't we all go out for a Chinese tonight, eh? All four of us?
0:47:47 > 0:47:50As long as you don't start drumming on the table with the chopsticks.
0:47:50 > 0:47:53- It's embarrassing. - What about the walrus?
0:47:53 > 0:47:56Can I still do the walrus? Come on!
0:48:00 > 0:48:01Emily!
0:48:03 > 0:48:05I'll leave you to it.
0:48:10 > 0:48:11Am I in trouble?
0:48:11 > 0:48:13I think we'll call this one a draw.
0:48:17 > 0:48:20A-ha! Present for you.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22- Serious?- Yep, one of the students dropped out.
0:48:22 > 0:48:27So there's an empty seat in the orchestra, if you're still interested?
0:48:27 > 0:48:30- Oh, thanks, Sir!- Come on.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32So you lost her twice?
0:48:32 > 0:48:36- Technically.- You should've come to me the first time.
0:48:36 > 0:48:38You wanted teachers to be self-sufficient.
0:48:38 > 0:48:43- Not with something as serious as this. Context, Linda!- OK. Mea culpa.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46I shouldn't have stuck my size fours in.
0:48:46 > 0:48:49But at least Em and her mum are talking. That's something, right?
0:48:49 > 0:48:54OK. INSINCERELY: It won't happen again, I promise.
0:48:54 > 0:48:57Well, every cloud has a silver lining, I suppose.
0:48:57 > 0:48:58I don't understand.
0:48:58 > 0:49:03You've saved me a lot of legwork with Grantly.
0:49:03 > 0:49:08- Please, don't tell me you're going to fire them? You can't!- I will not have him use you as a Trojan horse
0:49:08 > 0:49:09to spring his own agenda.
0:49:09 > 0:49:11- KNOCK AT DOOR - Yes?
0:49:11 > 0:49:15Sorry, employment lawyer's on the phone.
0:49:15 > 0:49:16I need to take this.
0:49:16 > 0:49:18PHONE RINGS
0:49:18 > 0:49:21- What on earth happened to you? - It's my job.
0:49:21 > 0:49:23You used to lead - inspire.
0:49:23 > 0:49:26Not polish your jackboots on everyone else's backside!
0:49:26 > 0:49:29- You're out of line!- So fire me. DOOR OPENS
0:49:29 > 0:49:33Mr Gibbs again. He said that he got cut off.
0:49:38 > 0:49:40PHONE RINGS
0:49:43 > 0:49:44Mr Gibbs.
0:49:46 > 0:49:49Sorry, I don't know what happened either.
0:49:49 > 0:49:52Anyway, apologies.
0:49:54 > 0:49:56It was a false alarm.
0:49:59 > 0:50:00Yes.
0:50:00 > 0:50:04I thought Lindsay didn't want to talk to me.
0:50:04 > 0:50:06I thought I'd done something wrong.
0:50:06 > 0:50:08Why didn't you just say something?
0:50:08 > 0:50:12You hardly spoke two words to me.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14But I thought...
0:50:14 > 0:50:17All I get from you is a quick hello, and then you're gone -
0:50:17 > 0:50:19upstairs, plugged into the TV.
0:50:19 > 0:50:22Even when I'm watching the same thing downstairs.
0:50:22 > 0:50:24Cos you don't want me around.
0:50:26 > 0:50:28That's just not true...
0:50:30 > 0:50:32Then why didn't you ever say anything?
0:50:32 > 0:50:36Because I didn't want to upset you.
0:50:36 > 0:50:39I thought it was your way of coping.
0:50:41 > 0:50:43You just carry on.
0:50:43 > 0:50:46Dusting, tidying, and...
0:50:46 > 0:50:50reorganizing the kitchen cupboards.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52Yeah, well, maybe that was mine.
0:50:56 > 0:50:57I really miss her.
0:50:59 > 0:51:00Me too.
0:51:02 > 0:51:03Em...
0:51:05 > 0:51:07..I promise,
0:51:07 > 0:51:09from the bottom of my heart,
0:51:09 > 0:51:12that things are going to be different from now on.
0:51:15 > 0:51:18Trust me.
0:51:22 > 0:51:24I'll try.
0:51:34 > 0:51:37As you know, I'm well within my rights to sack you.
0:51:38 > 0:51:42But that's not going to happen.
0:51:43 > 0:51:47Do I hear the faint footsteps of a climb-down?
0:51:47 > 0:51:53I won't apologise for wanting to turn this school around.
0:51:53 > 0:51:56But I will admit that I can't do it without you.
0:51:56 > 0:52:00Which is why I've asked the site manager to put the classroom doors back.
0:52:00 > 0:52:03- And what about Linda? - Linda's a good teacher.
0:52:03 > 0:52:08She believes passionately in what she does.
0:52:08 > 0:52:10In fact, you two have a lot in common.
0:52:10 > 0:52:14Then I look forward to forging a fruitful relationship.
0:52:20 > 0:52:21- SCHOOL BELL RINGS - Impressive.
0:52:21 > 0:52:23Couldn't have done better myself.
0:52:23 > 0:52:25Well, you know what they say.
0:52:25 > 0:52:28Keep your friends close...
0:52:34 > 0:52:36I'll catch you up.
0:52:38 > 0:52:39Scout!
0:52:41 > 0:52:44I just wanted to say thanks, yeah?
0:52:44 > 0:52:45For today.
0:52:45 > 0:52:48- Who knows what would've happened. - It's all right.
0:52:50 > 0:52:52I've got you a present.
0:52:54 > 0:52:56It's a friendship bracelet.
0:52:58 > 0:53:01- Serious?- You've been a real mate.
0:53:04 > 0:53:05Stuck up cow.
0:53:05 > 0:53:07Chav.
0:53:07 > 0:53:08See ya.
0:53:13 > 0:53:16Come on, everyone. It is for a good cause. Chalky is one of us.
0:53:18 > 0:53:20Have you got any change?
0:53:22 > 0:53:26Um, why don't we all go out for dinner tonight, my treat?
0:53:26 > 0:53:30Are you sure your comrades won't mind you fraternising with the enemy?
0:53:30 > 0:53:34Yeah, sorry about that, it was just a sudden rush of blood to the head.
0:53:34 > 0:53:36Go on, I'll even let you have a bite of my prawn toast.
0:53:36 > 0:53:40- Meanwhile Zack spends all evening staring at his shoes? - No, no, it's fine.
0:53:40 > 0:53:43I fed him some line about me wetting myself while I was on exercise.
0:53:43 > 0:53:48Look, I know, but it was the first thing that came into my head. And it worked, it was great.
0:53:48 > 0:53:50Sian, you ready?
0:53:50 > 0:53:55- These departmental budgets won't finalise themselves. - I'd completely forgotten.- Me too.
0:53:55 > 0:53:58Well, there's no need for all of us to stay late.
0:54:01 > 0:54:03The first round's on me.
0:54:03 > 0:54:04I'm sorry.
0:54:04 > 0:54:08No, it's fine. I was planning on seeing Chalky anyway.
0:54:08 > 0:54:10So I'll just get a take-away for me and Zack,
0:54:10 > 0:54:13- and we'll have a proper lads' night in.- Great.
0:54:13 > 0:54:15As promised.
0:54:15 > 0:54:19From, "Get Well" to, "Thank You". Now it's more of a "Forgive Me?"
0:54:19 > 0:54:21Apology accepted.
0:54:21 > 0:54:23I could do with a drink after the day I've had.
0:54:23 > 0:54:25Sian and I are on the late shift.
0:54:25 > 0:54:27Oh. Well, some other time.
0:54:32 > 0:54:34Come on then, Linda.
0:54:34 > 0:54:37I'll introduce you to the bolt hole.
0:54:43 > 0:54:45To Chalky.
0:54:45 > 0:54:47Mmm, a true comrade.
0:54:47 > 0:54:50Just because I'm deputy head
0:54:50 > 0:54:52doesn't mean my heart's not in the right place.
0:54:52 > 0:54:55That's the thing about climbing the career ladder.
0:54:55 > 0:54:57What's that?
0:54:57 > 0:54:58You get to the top,
0:54:58 > 0:55:01and you realise there's nothing there but the view.
0:55:01 > 0:55:03- Budge over.- What the...?
0:55:03 > 0:55:05Vodka shots - melon flavour.
0:55:05 > 0:55:07Trust me, they're good.
0:55:16 > 0:55:17Not bad.
0:55:17 > 0:55:20See? Try something different, you might surprise yourself.
0:55:20 > 0:55:22Touche.
0:55:22 > 0:55:25I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot.
0:55:25 > 0:55:30You're the cornerstone of the department. Without you, the whole thing crumbles.
0:55:30 > 0:55:34And you, my dear, are a rose between two thorns.
0:55:34 > 0:55:36Excuse me. Nature calls.
0:55:39 > 0:55:43Still, you wouldn't want to cross me twice.
0:55:43 > 0:55:46Your round?
0:55:49 > 0:55:51I think it all just about adds up.
0:55:51 > 0:55:54Whoever invented spreadsheets was an evil, evil man.
0:55:54 > 0:55:57Or woman.
0:55:57 > 0:56:00What, everything in boxes? No, it was definitely a man.
0:56:02 > 0:56:03Thanks for sticking with me today.
0:56:03 > 0:56:05It's OK. It's what you pay me for.
0:56:05 > 0:56:07- Night cap?- Yeah.
0:56:13 > 0:56:15Single malt.
0:56:17 > 0:56:19Linda holds a torch for you, I reckon.
0:56:19 > 0:56:22Please...
0:56:22 > 0:56:24She's so not my type.
0:56:36 > 0:56:37Michael...
0:56:39 > 0:56:41I should never have left you.
0:56:43 > 0:56:45You know what?
0:56:45 > 0:56:48I never really liked whisky.
0:57:08 > 0:57:12Look, Ronan, you don't get it. I'm re-sitting, it's my last chance.
0:57:12 > 0:57:16- I've been thinking about leaving. - What did Mr Byrne say?
0:57:16 > 0:57:20- He said I'm 16, I can leave when I want.- Ken Watling, a professional rugby coach.
0:57:20 > 0:57:22I get that you want to do well in your exams,
0:57:22 > 0:57:24but can you try and be a bit nicer sometimes?
0:57:24 > 0:57:26That's why I asked Madi to help me -
0:57:26 > 0:57:30- cos she was interested, cos she didn't look at me like I was a loser.- Because she fancies you!
0:57:30 > 0:57:32Well, at least someone does!
0:57:32 > 0:57:37I want him back in school by the end of the day. And don't make me involve the authorities.
0:57:37 > 0:57:40- Leave him alone! - I don't know what you heard, but I never touched Vicki!
0:57:40 > 0:57:44Give me one reason why I shouldn't sack you now?
