0:00:02 > 0:00:06- It's just me and you. - Then we're over. I've had enough.

0:00:06 > 0:00:09- I was wrong to think this could work.- Please don't do this to me.

0:00:09 > 0:00:10I'm sorry.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12You and Michael?

0:00:12 > 0:00:15They had a bit of a fling, just before you saw the light.

0:00:15 > 0:00:18We crossed the line, never to be repeated.

0:00:20 > 0:00:24At last, we have a head teacher with a firm hand.

0:00:24 > 0:00:27Me and you are going to see a lot more of each other. Eh?

0:02:06 > 0:02:08the first impression I was going for.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10- Now you've definitely got your pills?- Yes!

0:02:13 > 0:02:17- Dad's out tonight, so you guys can come round.- Free house?

0:02:17 > 0:02:20You know what you should be thinking? House party-y-y!

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Let's do it

0:02:22 > 0:02:26- Freddie?- Mm?- Are your alarms set for your pills?- Yes, I told you.

0:02:26 > 0:02:30Pills - check. Stationery - check. Overbearing mother - check.

0:02:30 > 0:02:31OK, OK!

0:02:33 > 0:02:34Give us a hug, then.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36What's he doing?

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Would you really let your mum do that on your first day?

0:02:38 > 0:02:42Mum, you're mining new depths of uncool here. Just back off.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45- I'll be fine.- Sorry, I just... - I'll see you later.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48Don't worry, I'll try not to die.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57I'll do you proud, mate.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59I promise.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01MOBILE RINGS

0:03:05 > 0:03:06Hello?

0:03:08 > 0:03:09Hello?

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Come on, say something.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Coward!

0:03:21 > 0:03:26School debate. Have you seen this?

0:03:26 > 0:03:30As if our lot needs instruction on how to argue and answer back!

0:03:30 > 0:03:34I think it's a great thing. Shows the kids they can aspire to something more.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Exactly. This school initiative is really positive.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Hear, hear! Here you are, babe. A cup of tea.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43- You all right?- Yeah.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46- Just busy.- You need to let off a bit of steam, you know where I am.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49You know what they say the best relief for stress is?

0:03:49 > 0:03:52- Thank you. - Just saying, that's all.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55- Oh Sian, I'm so sorry! - It's OK.

0:03:55 > 0:03:56No problem.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58You look tired.

0:03:58 > 0:04:02Must be all the late night rendezvous at Michael's flat.

0:04:02 > 0:04:03I'm sorry?

0:04:03 > 0:04:07The other night. I was there. I saw you both.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11OK, everyone.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13As some of you know, we have a very special visitor today.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Waterloo Road has been short-listed for a grant

0:04:15 > 0:04:18of £50,000 from a local company.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21The managing director's wife, Margaret Harker,

0:04:21 > 0:04:24has been observing all the short-listed schools

0:04:24 > 0:04:27and she'll have a big say in which school gets the final grant.

0:04:27 > 0:04:31I think our debates this afternoon will help us to shine.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34Oh great(!) So, more scrutiny, more pressure,

0:04:34 > 0:04:35Just what we need(!)

0:04:35 > 0:04:38Well, let's show her what Waterloo Road is all about

0:04:38 > 0:04:41and our improved results aren't just a flash in the pan.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43..turned this place around and he's dead brainy.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47So, if you put Stephen Hawking, Nelson Mandela and Superman

0:04:47 > 0:04:49all in a blender, you'd get Mr Byrne.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53Well, I certainly appreciate your enthusiasm for your head.

0:04:53 > 0:04:57- But the cheque hasn't been signed yet. We'll see how things go. - Margaret...

0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Welcome to Waterloo Road. - Nice to see you again.

0:05:00 > 0:05:04- I'm looking forward to what you have to show me.- Excellent.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07- You ready for the grand tour?- Yes.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10- Hey.- Hiya.- Just wanted to let you know I've given notice on the flat.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Right, OK. Well, we need to pay last month's rent,

0:05:13 > 0:05:15but I'm going to sell the Bur-mobile.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18No. I'll pay, it's fine. I'll see you later.

0:05:23 > 0:05:24Whoa! Watch it!

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Sorry.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29I'm Freddie, by the way. It's my first day.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34So, how you finding life in the land of the dumped?

0:05:34 > 0:05:36You tell me! I'm sick of moping around.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39Need to bounce back. Hey, you heard about a party tonight?

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Yeah. Let's go get our hands on some women.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50Really trying to make this place a much more positive environment.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53Inspirational quotes, positive imagery.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56I think it's really important to encourage these kids to aim high.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59It's all really impressive, Michael.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02This is exactly the sort of progressive thinking

0:06:02 > 0:06:04that we value at the company.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07If things move forward, we should talk about a joint PR strategy.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10It's important that we're seen to be supporting the local community,

0:06:10 > 0:06:14and a school with a celebrity headmaster is always handy.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Well, as I think you know, it's a team effort.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18Speaking of which, allow me to introduce

0:06:18 > 0:06:21- one of my Deputies, Sian Diamond. - Hello.- Hello.

0:06:21 > 0:06:26Actually, we have a staff shortage issue.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29The kids have produced exceptional art work this term.

0:06:29 > 0:06:34- Perhaps you'd like to take a look? It might surprise you.- Of course.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Linda knows.- What?

0:06:38 > 0:06:40About us. She saw me at your flat.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43- What did you say to her? - Nothing. We were in the staffroom.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45Jez was there. Do you think she'll tell him?

0:06:47 > 0:06:51- I don't know. Let me talk to her. It'll be all right.- OK.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Everything all right?

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Er, a couple of suppliers have cancelled on us.

0:06:56 > 0:07:01But we were hoping Mr Byrne might step in and cover the debate class?

0:07:01 > 0:07:02Of course! My pleasure.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Ah! An added bonus.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08I'll get to see the master in action, then?

0:07:08 > 0:07:12Yes, I suppose you will. Well, I'd better get myself prepped, hadn't I?

0:07:12 > 0:07:15This way.

0:07:21 > 0:07:22Morning!

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Morning. Good morning.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30- You got a busy day ahead or...? - Is there any other kind?

0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Miss Radleigh, do you have a moment? - Yes, of course.

0:07:33 > 0:07:37- Mr Chalk, would you mind finishing off the grand tour for me?- Me?

0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Yes, show Mrs Harker around? - Yes, of course.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42- This way, please.- Thank you

0:07:49 > 0:07:51What have you said to Sian?

0:07:51 > 0:07:54Didn't take her long to come running to you, did it?

0:07:54 > 0:07:55I don't know what you think is going on...

0:07:55 > 0:07:58Oh please, Michael!

0:07:58 > 0:08:01I'd appreciate it if you kept this to yourself.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05Don't worry. Your secret's safe with me.

0:08:06 > 0:08:10Anyway, while I've got you, there's this new lad just transferred in.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Freddie Jackson. He's in my form...

0:08:12 > 0:08:14You know, my car got keyed that night.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Sorry?- You wouldn't know anything about that?

0:08:17 > 0:08:21You were quite upset when you left.

0:08:21 > 0:08:22Are you serious?

0:08:23 > 0:08:27How juvenile do you think I am? I've better things to do with my time

0:08:27 > 0:08:30than indulge in acts of petty vandalism.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34If nothing else, I'm a professional, Michael. You know that.

0:08:38 > 0:08:39Here's Freddie's file.

0:08:39 > 0:08:44Why don't we just concentrate on the important things, hm?

0:08:52 > 0:08:55- Watch yourself, mate! - Here, let me help you.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58Oh, thanks.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00- I'm Freddie.- Rhona.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Eurgh! Come on.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09Oi! Won't your mum get jealous if she sees you talking to other girls?

0:09:09 > 0:09:11No, but yours might.

0:09:11 > 0:09:12Whoa, chill your boots!

0:09:12 > 0:09:16- I was only joking! I didn't mean anything, mate! - I'm not your mate.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21Ah, you must be Freddie.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23You making new friends already, then?

0:09:32 > 0:09:35Knowing how to debate effectively can put the world

0:09:35 > 0:09:37in the palm of your hand. It can decide wars,

0:09:37 > 0:09:40affect the future of the planet.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Or just give you the opportunity to tell Simon Cowell

0:09:42 > 0:09:45who you think should be the next number one.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47LAUGHTER

0:09:47 > 0:09:51Our topic, "Without law and order, we have no freedom."

0:09:51 > 0:09:52A classic paradox.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54GENERAL CLAMOUR

0:09:54 > 0:09:58- Yes.- A teacher's pet as well as a mummy's boy!

0:09:58 > 0:09:59Impressive, right?

0:09:59 > 0:10:01MOBILE BEEPS

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Tut, tut! Shouldn't that be switched off?

0:10:19 > 0:10:23So, I'm going to put you in teams of two to prepare for the debate.

0:10:23 > 0:10:28Sir, can we be partners? Reckon we've got loads to talk about.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36Freddie. You've met Phoenix already, haven't you?

0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Er... - Good! Then you two can be partners.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40LAUGHTER

0:10:44 > 0:10:47Right, I'm expecting great things from you lot today.

0:10:47 > 0:10:51So turn to page 31 in your textbooks, and in twos, I want you to complete

0:10:51 > 0:10:55the experiments that have been set out in front of you, OK?

0:10:55 > 0:10:59- Heard about this party tonight? - Yeah, someone mentioned it.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01Should be fun. Is anyone going that you fancy?

0:11:01 > 0:11:04- Er...- Oh, go on! Who've you got your eye on?

0:11:04 > 0:11:08Actually, I've kind of started seeing somebody.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10- Oh, yeah?- It's just a family friend.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Really? Well, is it serious? - It's early days,

0:11:13 > 0:11:15my Dad really likes him,

0:11:15 > 0:11:17so I'm going to see if I can make it work.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20Lucky you! I wish I could find a decent fella.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24You all right, girls? What's his name then?

0:11:24 > 0:11:25Sorry?

0:11:25 > 0:11:27This family friend?

0:11:27 > 0:11:29- Finn, that was a private conversation.- Not private enough.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31Don't mess about, do you?

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Who is he, then?

0:11:33 > 0:11:35Guys, can we save the gossip for the playground, yeah?

0:11:35 > 0:11:38Finn, back to your experiment.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45SCHOOL BELL RINGS

0:11:47 > 0:11:50- What's Trudi playing at? - You need to let her go, Finn.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53- Hey, Lauren. Do you know who this guy is?- What does it matter?

0:11:53 > 0:11:56She likes him. Her family like him.

0:11:56 > 0:12:00It's just not going to happen for you two. I'm sorry, mate.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05Remember what I told you, guys.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09Know your subject, keep your focus, but enjoy it, all right? Have fun!

0:12:09 > 0:12:11Wonderful work, Michael. Wonderful.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14- I'm looking forward to this afternoon.- Nothing revolutionary, really.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17For me, it's more a question of making it relate to them somehow.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Ah, I wish I'd had a teacher like you in my day.

0:12:20 > 0:12:24- Freddie? What's your next class?- PE.

0:12:24 > 0:12:28What I want you to do is take all of that passion,

0:12:28 > 0:12:29put in maximum effort.

0:12:29 > 0:12:33It doesn't matter what people think, don't give up.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37Just one thing. I forgot my kit. First day nerves.

0:12:37 > 0:12:41That's all right. There'll be something in lost property.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43- Thanks, sir.- OK.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Phoenix, can I have a word for a second?

0:12:47 > 0:12:51Do you mind going along to the staff room?

0:12:51 > 0:12:52I'll be right behind you.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06- What the hell are you playing at? - You attacked that guy, I saw you.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08What do you want?

0:13:08 > 0:13:11Go to the police. Tell them what happened.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13- It's not that easy, Phoenix. - Why not?

0:13:13 > 0:13:14Because it isn't!

0:13:17 > 0:13:19What is all of this really about anyway?

0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Just go to the police. - What is it, money?

0:13:22 > 0:13:27Fine. If it's money, here.

0:13:27 > 0:13:31There's 100 there, right? But that's an end of it. We're done!

0:13:32 > 0:13:34Wait a minute.

0:13:34 > 0:13:37Where's the footage?

0:13:39 > 0:13:41- Proud of yourself? - Take it, get out.

0:13:54 > 0:13:58- You look lost. - Sort of. Got PE next.

0:13:58 > 0:13:59The changing rooms are this way.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Thanks.- You're welcome.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04How's your first day going?

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Well, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Right.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15It must be hard for the new kid.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18Maybe we should, like, introduce ourselves?

0:14:18 > 0:14:19You know, say hiya and that?

0:14:19 > 0:14:23No, no, no. He'll be fine. Leave him to it. Come on.

0:14:23 > 0:14:24What have you got next?

0:14:24 > 0:14:28Oi, Phoenix. You ought to see the playlist for this party.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30It's going to be sick!

0:14:30 > 0:14:34- How many people have you invited? - Don't worry about it.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Seriously, man. How many? - Just a few.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Oi, what's wrong?

0:14:40 > 0:14:42You got a hairy back or summat?

0:14:42 > 0:14:44LAUGHTER

0:14:49 > 0:14:51KNOCKING ON WINDOW

0:14:56 > 0:14:57Mrs Diamond?

0:14:57 > 0:15:00There's a problem with the supplies for my next lesson.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02- What? - I will show you. This way.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Sorry.- Have you spoken to Linda?

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Yeah, I don't think she'll say anything.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13Well, that's something, but if other people know,

0:15:13 > 0:15:16then I have to tell Jez now.

0:15:16 > 0:15:17He can't be the last to hear.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Do you think that's a good idea?

0:15:21 > 0:15:23Yes. He deserves to hear it from me.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26It's the least I can do. I'm going to tell him tonight.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30WHISTLE BLOWS

0:15:36 > 0:15:38Come on, boys, talk to each other.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Could you just wait here, just one minute?

0:16:24 > 0:16:27I thought I was supposed to be shadowing you. What's the matter?

0:17:09 > 0:17:12- I just need to get my breath back. - Why didn't you tell anyone?

0:17:12 > 0:17:14I just wanted to do as you told me, sir.

0:17:14 > 0:17:18- What's going on? - He has a heart condition. - You what? Why didn't I know that?

0:17:18 > 0:17:22Phoenix, go and get the nurse. We can play the blame game later.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25Mrs Harker, why don't you come with me? We'll continue the tour.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29Tattoos or piercings?

0:17:29 > 0:17:34Mmm...I'm not sure. What do you think?

0:17:34 > 0:17:37- Tattoos. - Really? Would you ever get one?

0:17:37 > 0:17:41Yeah, course I would, would you?

0:17:41 > 0:17:45I don't know. Maybe. Do you think they're cool?

0:17:45 > 0:17:47Yeah, well cool. Do you?

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well cool.

0:17:49 > 0:17:50I'm so going to get one.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53Hiya. Phoenix is having a party tonight because his dad's away.

0:17:53 > 0:17:54Do you fancy coming?

0:17:54 > 0:17:55BOTH: Yeah!

0:17:55 > 0:17:57Oh, gosh, you two are worse than us.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01- I thought we were the only twins at this school! - THEY LAUGH

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Sounds like we need to get some booze in.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05You up for a little lunchtime field trip?

0:18:08 > 0:18:11You're lucky he's all right. I've got a good mind to sue!

0:18:11 > 0:18:14- Mrs Jackson, I...- Mum, I'm fine. It was just a funny turn.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17If you knew his medical history, why on earth was he allowed to do PE?

0:18:17 > 0:18:20It just slipped through the net.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22- "It slipped through the net"?! - DOOR OPENS

0:18:22 > 0:18:25- I heard what happened, is everything all right? - Who's this?

0:18:25 > 0:18:29- This is Miss Radleigh, Freddie's form tutor. - And what have you got to say?

0:18:29 > 0:18:34Well, I gave Mr Byrne Freddie's file with all the info.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36Unbelievable. I should go to the press about this.

0:18:36 > 0:18:40- See how much you like reading about yourself then. - There's no need for that.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43Freddie's all right. The nurse checked him over thoroughly.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Well, I'm taking him home. - If you think that's best.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49No, Mum, I don't want to go home. You heard him. They checked me out, I'm fine.

0:18:49 > 0:18:53- I'm happy to keep Freddie here if that's what he wants. - Absolutely not.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56He's coming home, where he belongs, where he's safe.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58So I can just be a prisoner again?

0:18:58 > 0:19:00Freddie?

0:19:00 > 0:19:04- Mrs Jackson. - Maybe just give them a minute. Mmm?

0:19:05 > 0:19:08How much did you know about Freddie?

0:19:08 > 0:19:12I had exactly the same info as you had from the enrolment form.

0:19:12 > 0:19:13Do you do this deliberately?

0:19:15 > 0:19:16What?!

0:19:16 > 0:19:19You think I'd put the safety of a child in jeopardy because of you?

0:19:19 > 0:19:23Don't flatter yourself. I gave you his file.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25I told you to read it. I did everything right!

0:19:25 > 0:19:29If you knew it was that important, you should've made it 100% clear.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34This is on you.

0:19:51 > 0:19:52What the hell?

0:19:55 > 0:19:57We tried, but you're not up to it. Come on, let's go home.

0:19:57 > 0:20:02- You know how much this means to me. How much I've been through, I'm not going back home.- Freddie.

0:20:02 > 0:20:07- I'm not leaving school. You'll have to drag me, kicking and screaming. - Then that's what I'll do.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09If you're not going to let me live my life,

0:20:09 > 0:20:12you may as well have just let me die in there!

0:20:13 > 0:20:18All right, all right. I don't want you getting worked up.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23You can stay, if that's what you want.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27Just please promise me you'll be careful?

0:20:27 > 0:20:31Yes. Just leave me alone, Mum.

0:20:31 > 0:20:32Please, OK?

0:20:35 > 0:20:39He's staying. On your head be it.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42Superhead, my arse.

0:20:42 > 0:20:43CHILDREN LAUGH

0:20:48 > 0:20:51Well, what are you all looking at? Get inside your classrooms. Now!

0:20:55 > 0:20:57MUSIC: "Go Outside" by Cults

0:21:00 > 0:21:04Phoenix, is it true we're having a massive party at ours tonight?

0:21:04 > 0:21:07Yep, party to end all parties.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10- That's if we can get our hands on some cash. - All right, calm down.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16Phoenix, where've you got this money from?

0:21:16 > 0:21:17Does it really matter?

0:21:28 > 0:21:29Do you want to sit here?

0:21:29 > 0:21:31OTHER TABLE GIGGLES

0:21:32 > 0:21:36Er...no, I've got to go. See you.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45Ah. Come to keep your hubby company, have you?

0:21:45 > 0:21:47Something like that, yeah. Erm...

0:21:47 > 0:21:50Do you have any plans for this evening?

0:21:50 > 0:21:53I was going to have a little kick-around in the park with Zack, but...

0:21:53 > 0:21:56Why, what have you got to offer?

0:21:56 > 0:21:59I thought maybe we could have dinner together, just the two of us.

0:21:59 > 0:22:04Absolutely. Right, the kick-around's just been postponed. I tell you what, I'll cook.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07- No, please don't go to any trouble. - No, seriously, it's fine.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09You can relax and I'll take care of everything.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12Nothing but the best for you, my love.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15- I can't wait. - I'll see you, then.

0:22:22 > 0:22:23You lot, scarper. Go.

0:22:30 > 0:22:31What the hell is this?

0:22:31 > 0:22:32My literacy homework.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36I guess you understand why I want to get away from here,

0:22:36 > 0:22:37from you...

0:22:37 > 0:22:39You think any of this is fair?!

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Mr Byrne?

0:22:42 > 0:22:43What's wrong?

0:22:45 > 0:22:49The lad was...mouthing off, that's all. Off you go, Phoenix. Go!

0:22:52 > 0:22:57He was mouthing off. I won't repeat any of what he was saying obviously,

0:22:57 > 0:23:00but we have certain standards of conduct here

0:23:00 > 0:23:03- and they will be upheld.- Indeed.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05Why don't we go to your office?

0:23:05 > 0:23:10- I was just about to show Mrs Harker the delights of the canteen.- Great.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Er... It's just this way.

0:23:24 > 0:23:28- Oi, new kid. Heard you've got a pig's heart or something.- Eurgh!

0:23:28 > 0:23:30- Is that true then? - Have you got a scar?

0:23:30 > 0:23:33- What?- Can we see it?- What? No.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35Leave him alone. He don't want to talk about it.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39- Is it a human heart? Is it a girl's heart? - That's mad. Can they even do that?

0:23:39 > 0:23:42- Stop it.- Shut up! Just leave me alone, all of you.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46Please tell me that you don't think he's still fit?

0:23:50 > 0:23:54- Hey.- Do one. I'm not in the mood.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56What's the matter? You scared or something?

0:23:56 > 0:23:59Scared, of you? Don't be stupid.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02- Come on, then. - I'm not going to fight you.

0:24:02 > 0:24:03Why not? Come on, why not?

0:24:03 > 0:24:05I'm not going to fight some little weirdo

0:24:05 > 0:24:07with some heart condition, am I?

0:24:07 > 0:24:09CROWD JEER

0:24:13 > 0:24:16Don't start something you can't finish.

0:24:18 > 0:24:19< Phoenix.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22Come on. I said, come on!

0:24:56 > 0:24:57Phoenix!

0:25:00 > 0:25:04Miss, that new kid's got Phoenix's bike!

0:25:15 > 0:25:18What is going on with you and Phoenix? Are you OK?

0:25:18 > 0:25:20Just frazzled, all this business with Freddie.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22I really dropped the ball there.

0:25:22 > 0:25:26- If we're to stand any chance of getting this grant... - Margaret isn't stupid. She knows

0:25:26 > 0:25:29you have a difficult job, she'll expect curveballs.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32- There's just so much to do with the debate. - I can help out with the debate.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35Don't tell me that's what you're stressed out about.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Are you really going to tell Jez about us?

0:25:40 > 0:25:43You don't want me to?

0:25:43 > 0:25:47No. I just... I just worry about what it'll mean for both of us...

0:25:48 > 0:25:51..if it becomes public knowledge.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56- We can't keep it a secret for ever. - Sorry to interrupt.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59Don't tell me. There's a meteor headed for Waterloo Road.

0:25:59 > 0:26:00Not exactly.

0:26:00 > 0:26:03- Right, what is it? - Freddie's gone AWOL.- What?

0:26:03 > 0:26:07- He drove off on Phoenix's moped. - You didn't think to stop him? - I'll call Mrs Jackson.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09- No, I'll deal with this. - Where are you going?

0:26:09 > 0:26:12- I'm going to find him myself. - Michael!

0:26:15 > 0:26:18- What we doing here? - Five-finger discount.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23You keep guard, and... I'll get us a bottle.

0:26:23 > 0:26:28# As I start this story

0:26:28 > 0:26:33# I might shed a tear or two Just for effect

0:26:33 > 0:26:40# The day started at six And started with the flick... #

0:26:40 > 0:26:43That was easy. He didn't even look at me.

0:26:45 > 0:26:46- Oi!- Quick, run!

0:26:46 > 0:26:49# I'm happy when I'm happy Happy when I'm sad

0:26:49 > 0:26:52# Happy cos it's Monday

0:26:52 > 0:26:55# I'm happy when the tears Come rolling down my face

0:26:55 > 0:26:57# Happy cos it's Monday... #

0:26:59 > 0:27:01That was too close.

0:27:01 > 0:27:04Don't worry. He was never going to catch us.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06He won't find us round here.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08We should be getting back now.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10Come on. We just got started.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13What would you rather be, stuck in boring lessons

0:27:13 > 0:27:15or come and have some fun with me?

0:27:17 > 0:27:20Oh, look. What a coincidence.

0:27:21 > 0:27:22SHE LAUGHS

0:27:22 > 0:27:24You're not serious?

0:27:26 > 0:27:27You planned this?

0:27:27 > 0:27:31What? Not scared, are you?

0:27:37 > 0:27:39I just feel so bad for the lad.

0:27:39 > 0:27:43If I'd known he had a heart transplant, I never would've let him play football.

0:27:43 > 0:27:45- Everything OK, Linda?- Fine.

0:27:46 > 0:27:51Actually, no, it's not. I know we're supposed to be on-message today, but Michael's doing my head in.

0:27:51 > 0:27:52All right, well...

0:27:52 > 0:27:55He refuses to take any responsibility over Freddie.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58It's you and me that'll get dragged over the coals for this.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01It's not enough he has a special relationship with your wife.

0:28:01 > 0:28:04Erm, what's that supposed to mean?

0:28:04 > 0:28:06Oh, come on, do I have to draw you a picture?

0:28:06 > 0:28:07You know what? Behave, Linda.

0:28:07 > 0:28:11- You're just stirring because Michael gave you a knock-back.- Oh, please.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16I've got to get to class.

0:28:16 > 0:28:19Don't take any notice of her, mate.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29MUSIC: "Gob" by DELS

0:28:47 > 0:28:49MUSIC STOPS ABRUPTLY

0:28:49 > 0:28:55- Hush! Right, let's get on. Graham Abbot.- Here.

0:28:57 > 0:28:58Jodie Allen?

0:29:00 > 0:29:02Jodie Allen?

0:29:02 > 0:29:05No, sir. She's...she's not here.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07Oh, and neither is Emily James.

0:29:11 > 0:29:13Ah, Mr Clarkson.

0:29:13 > 0:29:16I think you should know, as deputy head,

0:29:16 > 0:29:20that I have two girls mysteriously absent.

0:29:20 > 0:29:24Oh, no prizes for guessing who. Right, OK, leave it with me.

0:29:24 > 0:29:25Mm.

0:29:29 > 0:29:32I'm not too sure about this.

0:29:32 > 0:29:37Come on, Scout. It's going to be dead cool, this. A statement.

0:29:37 > 0:29:42You and me against the world. Sisters, bonded forever.

0:29:43 > 0:29:48Yeah. Does it really hurt as bad as they say?

0:29:48 > 0:29:50- There's only one way to find out. - MOBILE PHONE RINGS

0:29:50 > 0:29:52It's school.

0:29:52 > 0:29:53HANGS UP PHONE

0:29:55 > 0:29:56Don't chicken out now.

0:30:16 > 0:30:18I'm sorry I let you down, mate.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30Freddie?

0:30:31 > 0:30:36Been looking for you everywhere, what on earth are you trying to do?

0:30:37 > 0:30:41- Come on, enough of this. You need to come back to school, now. - I'm not going anywhere.

0:30:41 > 0:30:44- Do you want your mother to find out about this?- Do you?

0:30:47 > 0:30:49No.

0:30:51 > 0:30:52No, I don't.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00I didn't want to go back to my old school.

0:31:00 > 0:31:04Being two years behind everyone else, everyone staring at me.

0:31:04 > 0:31:06I just wanted to be normal.

0:31:06 > 0:31:09To be able to go to school like everyone else.

0:31:09 > 0:31:12To run around, to muck about, have a laugh.

0:31:12 > 0:31:13Now everyone thinks I'm a freak.

0:31:13 > 0:31:16No, you're just different, that's all.

0:31:16 > 0:31:17That's OK.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20Why don't you come back to school and we'll deal with this?

0:31:20 > 0:31:22I'll help you in whatever way I can.

0:31:25 > 0:31:27Just be honest.

0:31:28 > 0:31:31People will accept you the way you are.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33But you have to give them a chance.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40I think we should get that bike back to its rightful owner.

0:31:40 > 0:31:43I wish I was more like Phoenix.

0:31:45 > 0:31:46You're much better off as you.

0:31:51 > 0:31:53Time to face the music.

0:31:59 > 0:32:02Nice of you to come back.

0:32:02 > 0:32:06As if it's not enough that the two of you were caught playing truant, again,

0:32:06 > 0:32:09we've had a call from a shopkeeper in town.

0:32:09 > 0:32:13Said two girls in Waterloo Road uniforms were seen shoplifting vodka.

0:32:13 > 0:32:18Well, it doesn't take Hercule Poirot to put that one together, does it,

0:32:18 > 0:32:19given your previous history?

0:32:19 > 0:32:21Hand it over.

0:32:29 > 0:32:33He's decided not to press charges, though why I stuck up for you, I don't know.

0:32:33 > 0:32:36What you fidgeting at? What's wrong with your arm?

0:32:36 > 0:32:39- Er, nothing.- Show me!

0:32:49 > 0:32:50Show me yours.

0:32:54 > 0:32:58Oh, well, this just gets better and better, doesn't it?

0:32:58 > 0:33:00Your mum's going to love this one.

0:33:05 > 0:33:08Mrs Harker, welcome to our grand finale!

0:33:08 > 0:33:12We wondered if you might like to be on the judging panel?

0:33:12 > 0:33:14- I'd be honoured.- Great.

0:33:14 > 0:33:16Where is Mr Byrne, by the way?

0:33:17 > 0:33:19One of our pupils has gone off site.

0:33:19 > 0:33:20He's gone to get him.

0:33:20 > 0:33:24He always goes the extra mile for these kids.

0:33:24 > 0:33:27If there's a problem - he gets involved - that's just his style.

0:33:27 > 0:33:29We're very lucky to have him.

0:33:29 > 0:33:31I think he's lucky to have you.

0:33:31 > 0:33:35Well, you know what they say - behind every great man...

0:33:35 > 0:33:37- is an exhausted woman.- Yes.

0:33:37 > 0:33:43- No, it's good to see he obviously has the support of his senior staff. - Full support, absolutely.

0:33:52 > 0:33:54I've just spoken with Emily's mum.

0:33:55 > 0:33:57There's no easy way of saying this,

0:33:57 > 0:34:02but she's speaking to Social Services about you staying somewhere else.

0:34:02 > 0:34:04What? No, she can't do that!

0:34:04 > 0:34:06I want to stay at Emily's.

0:34:06 > 0:34:08Where else am I supposed to go?

0:34:08 > 0:34:10They're looking into foster care.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14No.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16No, no, please...

0:34:16 > 0:34:19Look, your Social Worker will be looking after your best interests.

0:34:19 > 0:34:21It's out of my hands.

0:34:23 > 0:34:27I'm sorry, Scout, but you've brought this on yourself.

0:34:34 > 0:34:39Before you say anything, I shouldn't have taken your bike, I'm sorry.

0:34:39 > 0:34:42After this you're finished, heart condition or not, mate.

0:34:42 > 0:34:45Freddie, would you like to sit down now, please?

0:34:45 > 0:34:48- Is there a problem, Phoenix? - There could be for someone.

0:34:48 > 0:34:50What's that supposed to mean?

0:34:50 > 0:34:53It means, I'm going to be up there,

0:34:53 > 0:34:55with a microphone and a video projector.

0:34:55 > 0:34:58- You wouldn't dare.- Wouldn't I?

0:35:12 > 0:35:14Good afternoon, everyone.

0:35:14 > 0:35:17I'd like to thank you all very much for coming,

0:35:17 > 0:35:20a very warm welcome to the Waterloo Road School Debate.

0:35:20 > 0:35:24Now, for those of you unfamiliar with how this works,

0:35:24 > 0:35:27our students will debate in teams of two,

0:35:27 > 0:35:31one to take the affirmative and one the negative.

0:35:31 > 0:35:36The students will be graded by both myself and our judging panel,

0:35:36 > 0:35:39and the marks will count towards their final English grades.

0:35:39 > 0:35:44So, without any further ado, I suggest we begin.

0:35:44 > 0:35:49The West uses the excuse of freedom to run amok all over the Middle East.

0:35:49 > 0:35:51They've tried to bring democracy to these countries,

0:35:51 > 0:35:53and look what's happened.

0:35:53 > 0:35:56Violence, death, civil unrest...

0:35:56 > 0:35:58Maybe democracy is worth those sacrifices.

0:35:58 > 0:36:01But surely that's just ideological imperialism.

0:36:01 > 0:36:04Or maybe the values are just stupid.

0:36:04 > 0:36:07Maybe their beliefs are outdated.

0:36:07 > 0:36:10Maybe some people need someone from outside to open their eyes.

0:36:10 > 0:36:14You're only capable of seeing things from your cultural perspective.

0:36:14 > 0:36:17Maybe I'm only capable of seeing the truth.

0:36:17 > 0:36:21People should have the freedom to choose what they really want, not be dictated to.

0:36:23 > 0:36:27CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:36:27 > 0:36:31MUSIC: "Pretend" by Emika

0:36:31 > 0:36:32# That we are friends

0:36:34 > 0:36:36# Till the end

0:36:38 > 0:36:40# Just for tonight

0:36:42 > 0:36:44# We can pretend

0:36:46 > 0:36:48# That we are friends

0:36:49 > 0:36:51# Till the end

0:36:53 > 0:36:54# Just for tonight... #

0:36:56 > 0:36:58Feminism paved the way for female role-models

0:36:58 > 0:37:01such as Lady Gaga, Madonna and Katy Perry.

0:37:01 > 0:37:05From the Suffragettes to Cheryl Cole, women are leaders now.

0:37:05 > 0:37:08Freedom for women is a good thing.

0:37:08 > 0:37:09Go, girl power!

0:37:09 > 0:37:11AUDIENCE GIGGLING

0:37:11 > 0:37:15MUTED APPLAUSE

0:37:28 > 0:37:32Well done, girls - very...interesting point of view.

0:37:37 > 0:37:39# Just for tonight

0:37:41 > 0:37:43# We can pretend... #

0:37:43 > 0:37:49Now to our next debaters, Phoenix and Freddie, would you like to present your rebuttal, please?

0:37:49 > 0:37:53- I'd like to remind you to stick to the subject. - Are we allowed to use visual aids?

0:37:53 > 0:37:55- Absolutely not.- Shame, cos I'd something prepared.

0:37:55 > 0:37:58Well you can't use it!

0:38:04 > 0:38:08Freddie, your rebuttal, please.

0:38:12 > 0:38:15Feminism...is one kind of freedom,

0:38:15 > 0:38:20but...freedom means different things to different people.

0:38:21 > 0:38:24Look, a lot of you don't know me.

0:38:24 > 0:38:26It's my first day here.

0:38:26 > 0:38:31But, to me, just being here, being able to run, to play footy,

0:38:31 > 0:38:35it probably seems like nothing to you, but I've been dreaming about it.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39To me, this is freedom.

0:38:39 > 0:38:42You take it for granted every single day.

0:38:43 > 0:38:45I know you've all heard stuff about me.

0:38:47 > 0:38:50So if you really want to know...

0:38:50 > 0:38:51I'll just show you.

0:38:54 > 0:38:56GASPING

0:39:06 > 0:39:08I had a heart transplant.

0:39:08 > 0:39:10A human heart, from another boy.

0:39:15 > 0:39:17James Andrew O'Connor.

0:39:17 > 0:39:20VOICE BECOMES FAINT AND ECHOING

0:39:20 > 0:39:23He was driving back from a training session with his dad.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26They got into a crash on the bypass. A drunk driver hit them.

0:39:28 > 0:39:30He was in a coma...

0:39:31 > 0:39:33..and he died.

0:39:33 > 0:39:37He was a boxer. A fighter.

0:39:37 > 0:39:3919 years old.

0:39:39 > 0:39:44Whole life ahead of him, then...nothing.

0:39:44 > 0:39:45All gone.

0:39:47 > 0:39:51Someone gave their life to give me the freedom I now have.

0:39:51 > 0:39:55And, I suppose, to some extent,

0:39:55 > 0:39:58I've been trying to live his life...

0:40:00 > 0:40:03..to carry on where he left off.

0:40:09 > 0:40:12I wish I could be like James.

0:40:15 > 0:40:17But I can't live a lie.

0:40:18 > 0:40:20And I can only be me.

0:40:25 > 0:40:29APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:40:29 > 0:40:31Remarkable.

0:40:36 > 0:40:39Well done, Freddie. Really, very well done.

0:40:42 > 0:40:45That's it.

0:40:55 > 0:40:59PULSING DRUMS AND LOUD BREATHING

0:41:12 > 0:41:14Sorry...

0:41:20 > 0:41:21To conclude, we have...

0:41:25 > 0:41:27Thank you, Mr Byrne.

0:41:27 > 0:41:32So, a huge round of applause for everyone involved this afternoon, thank you.

0:41:32 > 0:41:36The panel will now retire and work out the grades for everyone involved.

0:41:36 > 0:41:40If you listen carefully, you should be able to hear

0:41:40 > 0:41:43the sound of 50 grand being flushed down the toilet.

0:41:45 > 0:41:48Well, that was, er, interesting.

0:41:51 > 0:41:53Well done.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55Must be something in the air today.

0:41:55 > 0:41:59Poor lad, bad enough having heart trouble at my time of my life, but at his age...

0:41:59 > 0:42:03I don't know, affairs of the myogenic muscular organ, eh?

0:42:03 > 0:42:05You, erm, fancy a drink later?

0:42:05 > 0:42:07What, really? Unless you...

0:42:07 > 0:42:10No, the pub's perfect, I'll see you there.

0:42:16 > 0:42:19It was all a bit of a mess in there, weren't it?

0:42:19 > 0:42:22Yeah, well, we did our best under difficult circumstances, so...

0:42:22 > 0:42:24Let's go home and open a bottle of wine, eh?

0:42:24 > 0:42:27I can't tonight, something's come up.

0:42:27 > 0:42:29Yeah? With who?

0:42:31 > 0:42:33One of my uni mates - she got dumped,

0:42:33 > 0:42:35I said I'd go round and take care of her.

0:42:35 > 0:42:40I tried to get out of it, but it was, you know, difficult.

0:42:40 > 0:42:42Well, another night, eh?

0:42:42 > 0:42:44Yeah, sorry.

0:43:22 > 0:43:25Michael, what the hell is going on, are you all right?

0:43:28 > 0:43:30Leave me alone!

0:43:40 > 0:43:42Who do you think you are?

0:43:42 > 0:43:45You think I wanted any of this to happen? Do you?!

0:43:45 > 0:43:47You don't understand the situation.

0:43:47 > 0:43:50You've no idea how complicated this is, Wayne Johnson is an animal!

0:43:50 > 0:43:53- I just...- It's not enough that you try and blackmail me,

0:43:53 > 0:43:57now you send me, what, a funeral wreath? What was all that about?!

0:43:57 > 0:44:00- Do you want me dead?! - I don't know what you're talking about!

0:44:00 > 0:44:03- Come on, the crank calls, the threats...- What crank calls?

0:44:03 > 0:44:05Michael, stop it! Stop it!

0:44:05 > 0:44:07- Are you all right?- Yeah.

0:44:07 > 0:44:08Go home.

0:44:08 > 0:44:11- Is he all right?- Phoenix, go home.

0:44:11 > 0:44:12Michael?

0:44:17 > 0:44:19No, I'll walk.

0:44:19 > 0:44:20I said, I'll walk.

0:44:20 > 0:44:22- See you in a bit.- Freddie?

0:44:22 > 0:44:23Yeah?

0:44:23 > 0:44:27- Look, I'm, er...really sorry for earlier.- Right.

0:44:27 > 0:44:30So, how do you fancy coming to a party?

0:44:30 > 0:44:32Yeah?

0:44:32 > 0:44:35Uh-huh. I'll see you later, all right?

0:44:35 > 0:44:40Listen to me. Wherever they put you, they're not going to keep us apart, OK?

0:44:40 > 0:44:42What if I don't get to see you?

0:44:42 > 0:44:45I could end up in another school, another city.

0:44:45 > 0:44:48I've told you. I don't care where you end up. I'm not going to lose you.

0:44:48 > 0:44:52I can't believe this is happening. We were only having a laugh.

0:44:56 > 0:45:00- Why are you REALLY upset, Scout?- What?

0:45:00 > 0:45:05I mean...are you upset about going into foster care?

0:45:05 > 0:45:07Or are you upset about leaving me?

0:45:11 > 0:45:13I'm upset about leaving you.

0:45:16 > 0:45:18I've already lost one sister.

0:45:19 > 0:45:21I'm not going to lose another one.

0:45:28 > 0:45:32This isn't just about Phoenix mouthing off. Something is going on.

0:45:32 > 0:45:34- It's complicated.- Tell me.

0:45:37 > 0:45:39I think someone's stalking me.

0:45:39 > 0:45:40What?

0:45:40 > 0:45:43You know about the break-ins, but that's not the half of it.

0:45:43 > 0:45:46I've had my car keyed, all kinds of threats,

0:45:46 > 0:45:48crank calls at night, and now this.

0:45:48 > 0:45:52Why didn't you say something before?

0:45:54 > 0:45:57I didn't think I could trust anyone.

0:45:57 > 0:46:00You can trust me.

0:46:01 > 0:46:05Come here. Come here.

0:46:08 > 0:46:12No-one can be strong all the time, OK?

0:46:13 > 0:46:17I've told Jez that I'm busy tonight.

0:46:17 > 0:46:19You're not going to tell him?

0:46:19 > 0:46:22No, I am, just not tonight.

0:46:22 > 0:46:25We'll just have to trust that Linda doesn't say anything.

0:46:25 > 0:46:27I think that we should maybe get away,

0:46:27 > 0:46:33book a hotel, somewhere that you can relax and get a good night's sleep.

0:46:33 > 0:46:34KNOCK ON DOOR

0:46:34 > 0:46:36Michael...

0:46:36 > 0:46:39Hold...hold on a second.

0:46:47 > 0:46:52- Margaret, hi! Come in. - Is everything all right? I've been looking for you.

0:46:52 > 0:46:55If I didn't know better, I'd think you were trying to avoid me.

0:46:55 > 0:46:57Of course. Sorry.

0:47:00 > 0:47:02We were having a debrief.

0:47:02 > 0:47:04Actually, I was meaning to find you.

0:47:04 > 0:47:07I wanted to apologise for how I've been behaving. Sorry if I seemed...

0:47:09 > 0:47:12- ..you know...- Yes?

0:47:14 > 0:47:18Actually, I've been dealing with some issues outside of my work here.

0:47:18 > 0:47:22But I hope you'll agree that the entire school,

0:47:22 > 0:47:24students AND teachers, have put on a great show for you,

0:47:24 > 0:47:28and I can promise you, hand on heart, that any investment here

0:47:28 > 0:47:31will be well used and everyone will reap the rewards tenfold.

0:47:31 > 0:47:34I'm sorry, but on the basis of what I've seen today,

0:47:34 > 0:47:38I'm not going to be able to recommend Waterloo Road for the grant.

0:47:38 > 0:47:40Thank you for your hospitality.

0:47:40 > 0:47:43As you say, there's some real potential here with these kids.

0:47:43 > 0:47:46And Mrs Diamond is a real asset to your team.

0:47:46 > 0:47:49But as a head teacher...

0:47:49 > 0:47:52frankly, you need to leave your own troubles, whatever they may be,

0:47:52 > 0:47:55- outside the door.- I know today wasn't my finest hour.

0:47:55 > 0:47:57There are mitigating circumstances.

0:47:57 > 0:48:00We were short-staffed, I've got kids playing truant.

0:48:00 > 0:48:03The decision is final, Michael.

0:48:03 > 0:48:05I'm sorry.

0:48:29 > 0:48:32Hiya. Look, I've been thinking,

0:48:32 > 0:48:34and I want to give you this towards the rent.

0:48:36 > 0:48:37How?

0:48:37 > 0:48:41The Bur-mobile was a better investment than you thought.

0:48:43 > 0:48:45Thanks, but it's all right, I can get the money.

0:48:45 > 0:48:47I'm not your problem any more.

0:48:49 > 0:48:50You take care, Vics.

0:49:04 > 0:49:06Steady on.

0:49:06 > 0:49:09Cheers for letting me come, Phoenix. I hope we can be mates.

0:49:09 > 0:49:11Yeah, sure...

0:49:12 > 0:49:14MOBILE BEEPS

0:49:17 > 0:49:21Right, who wants to go outside and play Ice To See You?

0:49:21 > 0:49:23Yeah? Come on.

0:49:23 > 0:49:27Ready...steady...go!

0:49:27 > 0:49:31Go on, get in there! Go on! Oh, yeah, go on, Finn lad!

0:49:53 > 0:49:55# Now I'm only falling apart

0:49:58 > 0:50:03# There's nothing I can do A total eclipse of the heart... #

0:50:09 > 0:50:13Sorry about that. I just made some room for the buffet.

0:50:13 > 0:50:16# Now there's only love in the dark

0:50:16 > 0:50:20# Nothing I can say A total eclipse of the heart... #

0:50:33 > 0:50:35- So...- Yep.

0:50:40 > 0:50:42CLEARS THROAT

0:50:43 > 0:50:46I'm no good at this dating lark. It's not really my thing.

0:50:46 > 0:50:49No, me neither.

0:50:49 > 0:50:51Why don't we just skip the preamble

0:50:51 > 0:50:53and have a night of wild, passionate sex?

0:50:55 > 0:50:56SHE LAUGHS

0:51:05 > 0:51:07I've always liked you, Rhona.

0:51:07 > 0:51:08I'm Shona.

0:51:19 > 0:51:22All right, mate, how's the quest going?

0:51:22 > 0:51:24- Do you even have to ask? - FINN BELCHES

0:51:26 > 0:51:28Oh, this is ridiculous.

0:51:29 > 0:51:33Look at all these birds. We've got to sort our heads out,

0:51:33 > 0:51:35get back in the game.

0:51:39 > 0:51:41- Hiya.- Hi.

0:51:43 > 0:51:45What?

0:51:46 > 0:51:50- Knock it off, Ro!- What? - It is obvious

0:51:50 > 0:51:53you're not over Vicki. I'm not up for being your rebound.

0:51:53 > 0:51:56- It's not like that.- Oh, really?

0:51:56 > 0:52:00Look, yeah, I admit that I'm having a crap time of it at the moment.

0:52:00 > 0:52:02But that doesn't mean that I don't like you.

0:52:07 > 0:52:11All right, well, let's not rush things, yeah?

0:52:12 > 0:52:15And you need to look after Finn. He's wasted.

0:52:15 > 0:52:17I'm going home, all right?

0:52:17 > 0:52:20What was going on with Mr Byrne today?

0:52:20 > 0:52:22He seemed to have a meltdown. Honestly, it was bad.

0:52:22 > 0:52:26Excuse me. I just want to let you know you look really fit tonight.

0:52:26 > 0:52:29- And you're drunk.- So what?

0:52:29 > 0:52:31- No, Finn, come on.- Finn, get off.

0:52:33 > 0:52:35LAUGHTER

0:52:35 > 0:52:37Let's go.

0:52:40 > 0:52:43- Finn, come back, mate. - Leave me alone.

0:52:45 > 0:52:49BOTH: # You and me could write a bad romance

0:52:49 > 0:52:50# Woah-oh-oh-oh

0:52:50 > 0:52:53# I want your love and all your lover's revenge

0:52:53 > 0:52:56# You and me could write a bad romance

0:52:56 > 0:53:00# Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

0:53:00 > 0:53:05# Oh-oh-oh, caught in a bad romance... #

0:53:11 > 0:53:14Down it, down it! Down it, down it!

0:53:20 > 0:53:24OK. That's Denzil there, Thursday with a fiver at five-to-one.

0:53:24 > 0:53:27- What's all this?- I'm taking some bets.- What on?

0:53:27 > 0:53:29On when we think Mr Byrne's going to quit.

0:53:29 > 0:53:33The guy's obviously cracking up. You seen him in the debate today.

0:53:33 > 0:53:36He's a goner. You want in?

0:53:36 > 0:53:38What?

0:53:38 > 0:53:41I tell you what, I'll give you ten-to-one on him never coming back.

0:53:50 > 0:53:53This is great. I don't know why you'd want to give up all this

0:53:53 > 0:53:57- just to join the Army. - I'm not going into the Army, mate.

0:53:57 > 0:54:00You what? I thought you were dead set on it.

0:54:00 > 0:54:03Nah, I never really wanted to join up.

0:54:03 > 0:54:05I just didn't want to be here.

0:54:06 > 0:54:08Freddie?

0:54:09 > 0:54:11Are you all right?

0:54:11 > 0:54:13I'm all right.

0:54:13 > 0:54:14Honestly.

0:54:17 > 0:54:19Freddie?

0:54:29 > 0:54:31Freddie!

0:55:04 > 0:55:08Phoenix is going to kill me. Tell him I'll pay him for any damage.

0:55:08 > 0:55:10Don't worry about it. It's a house party -

0:55:10 > 0:55:14someone was bound to throw up or break something at some point.

0:55:14 > 0:55:17You kinda killed two birds with one stone.

0:55:19 > 0:55:22- Are you going to be all right, though?- Yeah. I think so.

0:55:26 > 0:55:28HE RETCHES

0:55:28 > 0:55:30Look, Freddie, not everything in life

0:55:30 > 0:55:32has to be a competition.

0:55:32 > 0:55:35Why don't you just take some time and chill out a bit?

0:55:35 > 0:55:36I just wanted to show people...

0:55:36 > 0:55:40I know what you was trying to do, but you can't do it all in one day.

0:55:40 > 0:55:42Do you remember what you said in your speech?

0:55:45 > 0:55:47I'm sorry about today. I should have stuck up for you.

0:55:47 > 0:55:50Nobody's perfect, right?

0:55:50 > 0:55:51Right.

0:55:56 > 0:55:58This is all my fault.

0:55:58 > 0:56:02- This whole school was counting on me, and I blew it. - You're only human.

0:56:02 > 0:56:05It didn't work out this time. There will be other opportunities.

0:56:05 > 0:56:08I don't know what I would have done without you today, Sian.

0:56:08 > 0:56:12You don't have to come, you know? I'll be all right.

0:56:13 > 0:56:15I want to come.

0:56:22 > 0:56:26I love you, Sian.

0:56:28 > 0:56:30Do you know that?

0:57:15 > 0:57:17PHONE RINGS

0:57:20 > 0:57:23'You're through to Sian. I'm unavailable right now,
