0:00:02 > 0:00:04- Richard.- You sound surprised to see me.- I thought you loved me.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Me and you, Ronan, we're over.
0:00:09 > 0:00:10What?
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Well, do one of you two want to tell him or shall I?
0:00:13 > 0:00:15I told you, I deserve a smack.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Waterloo Road provides a lifeline for a great many people here.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20I want another chance, Rob.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25I told him to do the right thing and come clean.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Why would he do that when his father's so good at keeping secrets?
0:00:28 > 0:00:31From what I've seen today there's something wrong with this school.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34The buck stops at Karen Fisher's office door.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Why do I feel like we're being chaperoned?
0:00:54 > 0:00:55I'm heading into town anyway,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58then I'll go home and clean up after you two.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59That'll be a first.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04- You might want to do some shopping. We're out of pizza.- Oi!
0:01:04 > 0:01:06What is this? "Boys ganging up" day?
0:01:11 > 0:01:14All right, don't rub her face in it.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19So, what's this invigilating you've been on about, then?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- It's part of my training.- Walking around a room watching us sweat?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Yes, and you'd better be.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28There is no sweat required.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Cocky.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Cocky, cocky, cocky.- Good luck!
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Yeah, yeah.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38We're OK, aren't we?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Us? Yeah.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47All set?
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Glad to see things are working out so well with you and Naomi.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52I'm very happy for you.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Oh, thanks for these. I'll take them with me.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Does Karen know about your meeting this afternoon?
0:02:03 > 0:02:04She should do by now.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09I expect that's why she's just invited me to lunch. Unless you know any different?
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- No, but then she wouldn't tell me, anyway.- Big exam day.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17AS and A-level papers for the sixth formers!
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- There's a lot more riding on them than we thought.- Why's that?
0:02:20 > 0:02:25The local authority are having a meeting today at three to discuss our status,
0:02:25 > 0:02:30whether we're failing as a school or whether I'm failing as a head.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Is it specifically about Waterloo Road?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34More specifically it's about Karen Fisher.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38I've tried to help. I've given her loads of suggestions for the kids.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42But she likes the sound of her own voice. She's bordering on self-obsessed.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47I'm just preparing a report for them, how we move things forward.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- Possible layoffs.- Redundancies? - Only as a last resort.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Richard Whitman's problem lies with me.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59So...what are you going to do?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Prove them wrong.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Does this school have a future?
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Let's just say that a failing school in my catchment doesn't look good.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- What the hell are you doing?- I've been trying to get hold of you.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- I've been ringing, texting. Why are you avoiding me? - I'm not. What's the big deal?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Nothing.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Make your flippin' mind up.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41What is it?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I messed up.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50I mean, I've really messed up.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Why? Just tell me.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Look, don't hate me, Aiden...
0:03:59 > 0:04:00I'm pregnant.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08You sure?
0:04:10 > 0:04:14My dad is going to kill me. I mean, I take it it's mine?
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Yeah, course it's bloody yours! Me and Ronan are always careful.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I can't believe it!
0:04:22 > 0:04:26Lads, get your energy drinks here, yeah? Go on, get your five a day.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Go on, it's got vitamin B, suitable for vegetarians!
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Yes, girls, come on, how about an energy drink? No?
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- How're you doing? - I just want to stay in bed and forget about everything.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42- Can't believe we've got exams as well. I just wish it was all over. - Don't wish your life away.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Sam would've wanted us to be together, wouldn't she? - Tell him that.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51Right, you haven't told anyone, have you? We say nothing to nobody, yeah?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55We sort it out ourselves first.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Easy for you to say, my head's banging.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00All the more reason to keep it quiet.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- We'll do the exam and then we'll talk, OK?- How can I?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06I've not had any sleep. I've been up all night worrying.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Keep it down, people'll start to realise something's up.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- OK?- Is there a problem here, Aiden?
0:05:14 > 0:05:20- No, miss. Just a bit of last-minute nerves.- Are you sure, Vicki?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Yeah. Like he said, it's just exams.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- I can't do this.- You can.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Once you get inside and it starts, it'll all come back.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Just focus.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39The first person in your family to go to uni and all that, eh?
0:05:39 > 0:05:44That's the thing. I can't remember anything. My mind's gone totally blank.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Quid. High-energy sports drink, packs a real "pick me up" punch.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Do I look stupid?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Those things have got more caffeine in them than a coffee shop.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- Well, you look like you need it. - Do I?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Well, she looks like she needs it more than I do.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06(SHOUTS) I mean, look at the state of her.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Look at me. You're fine.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- Trust me. - All right, everyone, in you go.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I will sort this. OK? Yeah?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18All mobile phones off.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Once you're inside, no talking.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Oh, I've booked that restaurant for your lunch. It's dead posh.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Me and me mum looked through the window once.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Reckon we could only afford a pudding if we shared.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- I thought you were getting this fixed.- Yeah, it's on the top of my list. Ish.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08So have you called someone to come out and have a look?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I could pop it down to Resources if you want. Although my heels are killing me.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14It can wait.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17ALARM BLARES
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Now what?
0:07:23 > 0:07:24Right! OK! Silence, please.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Leave your belongings and make your way to the assembly point.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Not risking this lot.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38There should be no talking.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Stop messing at the back. Line up!
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- Sir, does this mean we don't have to do the exam?- Dream on, Kyle.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40My lot are present, and as correct as they'll ever be.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Ditto.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- It's a false alarm. - Oh, surprise, surprise.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Well, something set it off.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Do you want me to talk to them? See who...
0:08:49 > 0:08:52No, I think that's my job, don't you?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Sure...sorry.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11It's Sam's tree!
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Come with me. I've got something for you.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33Can you oversee that?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- I thought I was meant to be doing some invigilating?- Another time.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43I really need you to concentrate on getting ready for Sam's memorial.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- I could really do with something going right today.- OK.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- You stole it?- I had to! Who d'you think set the alarm off?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Aiden?!
0:09:56 > 0:10:01Right everybody, that was a false alarm, so back inside, please,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03as quickly as possible.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I'm trying to help you out here, Vicki.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08I figured a few minutes looking at this, it'll all come flooding back.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11That's going to take some digging.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Nice of you to volunteer.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Think I can help.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Oh, thanks.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22That's £1.50, mate.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- For the university fund, is it? - Nah, think I'll skip that bit.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29I'll be a millionaire by the time I'm 20.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Going to take a while at this rate, isn't it?
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Have you seen enough?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Yeah? OK?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Come on, then.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Excuse me?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Where do you think you're going? You're not a pupil at this school.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Give that man a gold star.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Er, well do you want to tell me what you're doing here, then?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Name's Scout. I'm starting school here.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21You can't just turn up at a school. It doesn't work like that.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Your parents have to get in touch and get you registered.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28I'll tell you what, you're best off talking to my social worker.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30I can give you his number if you want.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35We're in the middle of something right now. Janeece? Have you got a sec? This is, um...
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Jodi Allen, but don't bother calling me that cos I won't answer it. Scout or nothing.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Will you take her up to the office? I'll deal with her later.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- She's got a right gob on her. - Please, Janeece.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49All right, you lot.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56In you come quickly and quietly, please. Straight back to your seats.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58It'll all be over soon.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Let's hope no-one else pulls a stunt like that.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- Did you open these?- No.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Someone has.- You're joking?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17An exam paper's been taken.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Presumably by someone in this room.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Quiet, please!
0:12:25 > 0:12:27No-one gets out of here until that paper is returned
0:12:27 > 0:12:32and no-one will be able to sit the exam until we find out who is responsible.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I said quiet!
0:12:34 > 0:12:39Now, I suggest whoever took that paper, owns up now.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46It's a pretty rotten thing to do, don't you think? To your friends?
0:12:46 > 0:12:50A lot of people have worked very, very hard for this exam today.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Think that's fair, do you?
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Ronan?! What're you doing?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09You need this more than I do.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15It was me, miss.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26And you can wind your scraggy neck in an' all.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Just go straight through.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Janeece, can you find the number of the exam board, please?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33This is the new girl, apparently.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Mr Mead's dealing with her. Oh, and Miss Fisher, I've got that file.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39I've been looking after it for you.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Why did you do it?
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- I wasn't thinking straight.- Clearly.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58That's not good enough.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02I don't know, a moment of madness.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08And the real reason?
0:14:17 > 0:14:18Right.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Well, I'm going to have to telephone your mother
0:14:21 > 0:14:25and ask her to come in this afternoon. Do you understand?
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- Well, that was a disappointing start to the exams.- What d'you expect?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Doesn't do to get your hopes up round here.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Eh!
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- Great, I'm starving.- Oi!
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Those are for staff.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42I AM staff.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Shouldn't let people walk all over you like that,
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- especially not some chit of a girl. - It's only a biscuit, Grantly.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55- Hmmm.- Yeah, well, don't expect me to dip in for your leaving present.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59What leaving present?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Er, Janeece. Janeece! Janeece, a word.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11You've suddenly changed your tune.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14I can't say anything because Mrs Fisher values my professionalism.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Well, then I'm sure Mrs Fisher
0:15:16 > 0:15:19will be enthralled to hear about your lack of discretion.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Right, I didn't say anything, but next year
0:15:30 > 0:15:32there's going to be redundancies.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Mrs Fisher's going to meet Richard Whitman at lunch to talk about it.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- Could have you done for assault. - Don't tempt me.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57We're OK to get started, I've spoken to the exam board.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Great. Let's get cracking.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01OK, everyone, listen up.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05The exam is going to go ahead as scheduled. You can turn over your papers now.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- I've finished, sir.- You're sure?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50OK. Off you go.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Pens down.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08OK, that's time, everyone. Please stop writing and put your pens down.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Whoa! Steady!
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Look, we don't have to do this now, you know. There's no rush.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Dad's right.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- We could at least wait until we've finished our exams.- No.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32We said we would.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40She thought she'd lost this.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- She said I'd nicked it. - Well, you'd better have it, then.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Finn. It might help.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56How'd you work that out?
0:17:56 > 0:18:01- If you want to talk.- Well, it's not going to change anything, is it?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07What have you got there?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10It's a photo from that field trip.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15I'll leave you to it all right?
0:18:22 > 0:18:25I thought you'd done something stupid.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27What, like you did, you mean?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- I can't let Ronan take the blame. - Shut up!
0:18:30 > 0:18:34Ronan screwed himself over. I didn't ask him to.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Doesn't even need his A levels. He's not going to uni.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40How can you think this is OK?
0:18:40 > 0:18:44Just one less thing to worry about.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Look. About the other...
0:18:47 > 0:18:50It's a baby, Aiden. It's not a thing.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53You know what I mean.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56What are you planning?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I haven't had a chance to think about it yet, have I?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01No. Of course.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03But...
0:19:05 > 0:19:07But what about university?
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Just going to do what's right for me and the baby.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14It's not really a baby, is it?
0:19:14 > 0:19:17I mean, there're options. You don't have to keep it.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Don't you dare tell me what I do or don't want.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31I've spoken to your mum and your social worker.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- At least they know you're here. - Does that mean I can stay?
0:19:34 > 0:19:39- I've still got to clear it with the authorities, but you'll be OK to sit in on classes.- Boss!
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Denzil?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- You OK?- Yeah.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Just wanted the toilet, that's all.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Well, if you're on your way back to class, you can walk with us.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Hey! Pack it in!
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Mr Chalk. A moment, please.
0:20:03 > 0:20:09And if any of you so much as breathe, I will have your guts for garters.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Walls have ears.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32WHISPERING: Redundancies on the horizon.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36No names specified, but we've got to be on our guard.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38That's bound to be me, isn't it?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Hardly a shining light, am I?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43It's not just you that needs to worry.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- There's Chris, let's ask him.- No!
0:20:48 > 0:20:52He's senior management.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Are you missing someone?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Yeah, Denzil. Denzil! I wondered where he'd got to.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01- This is Scout, she's new today and she's in your class.- Hello, Scout.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- Is everything all right, Grantly? - Fine, thank you.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16We need to keep our powder dry.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Looks like we're going to be mates.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24What's this place like, then?
0:21:24 > 0:21:25That good, eh?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Scout, stop talking, please.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Sure thing.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- So, what's wrong w... - Just shut up, all right?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Leave him alone. He's just lost his sister.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- Thanks, Em.- Yeah, can we stop all the noise, please?
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Right, then, Scout, can you work this sum out
0:21:41 > 0:21:43instead of interrupting the class?
0:21:43 > 0:21:49- Yeah, 53.- I make it 72. - You got the square root wrong. 53.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Correct.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54How did you get there, then?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56In my head.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Right, well let's try another one, then.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02BELL RINGS
0:22:16 > 0:22:17- Sam's top!- What?- It was in my bag!
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Rob?
0:22:34 > 0:22:35Oh.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36Exam not go well?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Vicki's pregnant.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41Aiden...
0:22:41 > 0:22:43you are joking.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50- Does your dad know? - Of course he doesn't.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53All he ever goes on about is me keeping out of trouble.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57OK. So, he doesn't need to know anything right now.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- What about Vicki's family? - She hasn't got anyone.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03OK, well that's something. At least we won't have her lot kicking off.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05How far gone is she?
0:23:07 > 0:23:08How far gone is she?
0:23:10 > 0:23:11A few weeks.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14She reckons she's going to keep it.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21Aiden...give her a couple of days to sort her head out,
0:23:21 > 0:23:23then she'll see things differently.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27He's going to kill me.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Not a word, d'you hear me?
0:23:30 > 0:23:34We've got me, you, your dad to concentrate on for the minute.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35That has to come first, yeah?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Right, come on.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43You can't stop here. You've got to act like everything's OK.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Are you going to lunch meeting? It's a bit early, isn't it?
0:23:45 > 0:23:49I know, I know. I just thought I could use some prep time.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Just give him the report and tell 'im like it is.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53I'll be back for the memorial service.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Are you planning on saying something? One of us should.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00- That's a good point, absolutely. I'll get onto that straightaway.- OK.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Maybe Mr Chalk picked it up.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- It doesn't matter!- Denzil, it obviously does. What is it?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10It was Sam's favourite, all right?
0:24:13 > 0:24:16I feel very proud
0:24:16 > 0:24:20to have known someone as special as Sambuca Kelly.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24She had...a heart
0:24:24 > 0:24:26a mile wide,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- and a smile to match. - And the mouth of a trucker.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Sorry I, er... I forgot my...
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Well, it'll look great there.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Yeah. Yeah, it will.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43So, Sam?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46First time I met her she gave me a right mouthful
0:24:46 > 0:24:49about not getting the basketball court open on time.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Sounds like Sam.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54And the second time the same thing.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58One of the reasons I like this school is because, er...
0:24:58 > 0:25:01you treat the kids as individuals.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02We try.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Just be honest.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Hey that new girl, Scout, she's bright, she is.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- I'll believe that when I see it. - Bright or not, there's no point if there's no teachers to teach.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Why? What's going on?
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Redundancies imminent, which doesn't bode well if we don't get good exam results.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- Well, they can't do that.- Watch 'em.
0:25:23 > 0:25:28Thing is, Tom, if I get made redundant, who's going to pay for Fleur's nursing home?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Well, it won't come to that, for any of us. We'll make sure of it.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- You worried for your job?- Me?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Cross that bridge... IF we come to it.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48So you think you can turn Waterloo Road around?
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Well, interestingly...I've, er,
0:25:52 > 0:25:55drafted some options here.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58The way forward. It's all in there.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12I'm not sure a document is going to crack it.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16It's less about the "what" and more about the "who".
0:26:16 > 0:26:19You mean me.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21That's what you're saying, isn't it?
0:26:23 > 0:26:27You need to embrace the concept of change.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Find a way forward.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31OK.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35If you were in my situation, what would you do?
0:26:36 > 0:26:37- Me?- Hmm-mm.
0:26:37 > 0:26:43Well, I'd improve exam results, nail the budget, get more pupils
0:26:43 > 0:26:47registered and prove to us this school's still a viable proposition.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49We all want it to work.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51I can do that.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53I hear what you're saying.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Just let me try.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56I've never doubted your commitment.
0:27:01 > 0:27:06Are you willing to say all this in your meeting?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Well, I'll do what I can.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10And let you know the outcome.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13Thanks.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22OK. Let's have it.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27- What?- The exam?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- Went well.- Yeah, it was good.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Yeah?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Yeah.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Good. Good!
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- I'll see you later.- Bye, love.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Excellent.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Don't s'pose you fancy pulling a sickie, do you?
0:27:53 > 0:27:54I wish.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57See you later.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Thought you'd gone home.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Thinking about what to tell my mum.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07It's all right.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09She doesn't care about exams.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Why did you do it, Ronan?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Could ask you the same question.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25This isn't right. I'm going to go to Mrs Fisher and tell her it was me.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28There's no point. They've already failed me.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31- But you'd worked really hard for it. - So did you.
0:28:31 > 0:28:37You tell Mrs Fisher now, you've blown it. University, everything you wanted.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38Stop being so nice.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45What is it?
0:28:46 > 0:28:48I promise it's OK.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50No, I'm going to put this right.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Vicki!
0:28:52 > 0:28:57Ah, Karen, good news about Jodi Allen. She can stay with us.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Spoke to her mum and the LA, there's just the paperwork to complete.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02That's great.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06- So, come on, how did lunch go? - Well, actually I'm a bit thrown.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10- It went well.- Great. So you think you've done enough?
0:29:10 > 0:29:12I hope so.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Sir? Mrs Fisher?
0:29:14 > 0:29:15Don't do this.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17I have to.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Ronan didn't do anything.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24He didn't steal the paper.
0:29:25 > 0:29:26I did.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29He's just doing it to cover up for me.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33So, you smashed the fire alarm,
0:29:33 > 0:29:35you waited until everyone had gone outside
0:29:35 > 0:29:39and then you went back in and you took the paper?
0:29:41 > 0:29:43- I don't believe you, Vicki. - Nor do I.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47You do realise we're going to have to fail you because of this?
0:29:48 > 0:29:51But can Ronan re-sit the paper? He didn't cheat.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Then who was helping you?
0:29:57 > 0:29:59It was me and Aiden.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04I'll speak to Ronan. Do you want me to get Aiden up?
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Why did you do it?
0:30:14 > 0:30:17- Aiden was just trying to help me. - Help you with what?!
0:30:18 > 0:30:21You've got to tell me what's been going on, Vicki.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25I'm pregnant.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Oh, Vicki.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Why didn't you tell me sooner?
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Or another member of staff?
0:30:45 > 0:30:47We could have helped you...
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- ..supported you.- I'm sorry.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01That was a nightmare. Did anyone else do the calculus?
0:31:01 > 0:31:03No chance. I didn't get close.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Least that's it till tomorrow, though.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Just Sam's memorial left. Longest day ever.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- Don't do that, Amy.- Do what?
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Lump our exams in with Sam's memorial! It's not right.
0:31:15 > 0:31:20- I didn't mean it like that. I can't say anything right, can I? - What are you doing with all that?
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Might as well lash it, it's just junk.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Finn!
0:31:25 > 0:31:26It's Sam's.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30It's just pens, man.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Eh, look.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37I remember when she did this - when you first kissed.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42And wasn't this the first time you went to the cinema?
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Like I said, it's just junk.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54The Scotchers are in your office.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Including that woman.
0:31:56 > 0:32:01- Don't you mean Aiden's mother? - Well, I've got a few other names for her, but yeah.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04You do know you've blown any chance of getting into university?
0:32:04 > 0:32:08- I'm only doing my A-levels because you told me to.- It's my fault again.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12It's just an exam, it's not worth getting worked up about.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16These exams are important for Aiden's future.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18- Don't you get snotty with me. - Drop it.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22- It's all right Rob, I can defend myself, thank you.- Sorry.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24I just want to know why.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28- Did Vicki make you do it? - No!- I think we should go.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32I'm afraid there's still a lot to discuss.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36Don't take that tone with me. He's my son. You can't keep us here.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40And this is my school, and I think we need to sort this out.
0:32:41 > 0:32:42Sort what out?
0:32:46 > 0:32:50Perhaps Aiden can explain for himself.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54It's his business, and if he doesn't want to, that's fine.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- Come on, Ade.- Aiden?
0:33:05 > 0:33:06Karen?
0:33:06 > 0:33:10- SHE SCOFFS - You ask your son, not me.
0:33:12 > 0:33:13Why did you have to tell them?
0:33:13 > 0:33:15It wasn't fair on you.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18And how's this any better? Now we're both disqualified.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- I don't care about me.- Well, I do!
0:33:21 > 0:33:22I didn't mind, you know. I wanted to do it.
0:33:26 > 0:33:27I miss you, Vics.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- Can't we just...?- Don't.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Mr Mead said Aiden took it for you.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Why? What's going on?
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Come on.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49There must be some reason why he'd do something so stupid.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51It's not like you need the help, is it?
0:33:52 > 0:33:55I'm really sorry, Ronan.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58I'm pregnant.
0:34:03 > 0:34:04His?
0:34:13 > 0:34:16I mean, who does Naomi think she is?
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Rob should know what his son's been up to.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Maybe she wants Aiden to tell him himself.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23maybe it suits her for him never to know. What a day!
0:34:23 > 0:34:25We've got three pupils not sitting their exams,
0:34:25 > 0:34:27one of them's pregnant and all on a day
0:34:27 > 0:34:32when I'm supposed to be convincing the LA that we are worth it!
0:34:33 > 0:34:35- This a bad time?- Can it wait?
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Yeah, right, OK. I'll speak to you later.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42How did your exam go?
0:34:42 > 0:34:43Fine...I think.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50What?!
0:34:50 > 0:34:53- When will you two tell me what's going on?- Leave it, Rob. - You proud of yourself?
0:34:53 > 0:34:58- Ronan, please not now. - Enough. Let's go.- It wasn't enough nicking my girlfriend, was it?
0:34:58 > 0:35:02- You had to get her pregnant as well? - GASPING AND MUTTERING
0:35:05 > 0:35:08What? Is this true?
0:35:10 > 0:35:12I said is this true?!
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Rob, don't.
0:35:14 > 0:35:20- I'm sorry, Dad.- You sorry bloody idiot!- I wasn't thinking!- Too bloody right you weren't thinking!
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- Not with your head at any rate! - Rob, stop this now!
0:35:23 > 0:35:26- I warned you about this. You promised me!- Stop!
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Get home!
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Get home...the lot of ya!
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- This doesn't have to be a big deal, Dad.- What?
0:35:45 > 0:35:49Mum's right - she can have an abortion.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56- What have you been saying to him, you stupid woman?- This isn't her fault.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Get out of my sight.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04No, not you, Naomi.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09I need to talk to you.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22- You all right, Ro?- No.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- You haven't heard yet?- Heard what?
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Vicki's up the duff.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33She's pregnant?!
0:36:33 > 0:36:34By Aiden.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44He doesn't want a baby. Why would he?
0:36:44 > 0:36:45Is that your answer?
0:36:45 > 0:36:49What, you get a girl pregnant and get rid of it,
0:36:49 > 0:36:53and then just move onto the next, with no responsibility whatsoever?
0:36:54 > 0:36:59I seem to recall we weren't very responsible about those things.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Yeah, but we didn't walk away, did we?
0:37:05 > 0:37:07And I didn't turn my back on either of you.
0:37:09 > 0:37:10They're teenagers.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12These things happen.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Are you serious?
0:37:16 > 0:37:18"These things happen."
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Why don't we go home, all of us?
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- Talk this through? - I can't do this.- What do you mean?
0:37:23 > 0:37:26You haven't changed one bit, have you?
0:37:28 > 0:37:31I was a mug to even think you could.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35- Always looking for the easy option. - Please.- You're a lousy mother...
0:37:37 > 0:37:39..and the most selfish person I know.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Aiden's better off without you and so am I.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44You're wrong.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47I'd do anything for you two.
0:37:48 > 0:37:54So you'd be happy living with a caretaker and playing grandma to an illegitimate child?
0:37:59 > 0:38:01I didn't think so.
0:38:04 > 0:38:05It's over.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Are you all right?
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Yeah, just needed a bit of space.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07I know I should've come to you sooner, before I messed things up.
0:39:10 > 0:39:15Vicki, this doesn't have to mean giving up on your education. I know it's early days,
0:39:15 > 0:39:17but have you thought about what you're going to do?
0:39:19 > 0:39:21I can't imagine not having it.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26In that case, you have to be realistic.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30- Everything about your life is going to change.- I know.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Mum... Mum, wait! Where you going?
0:40:04 > 0:40:07I'm leaving. It's over, me and your Dad are finished.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10- But you can't leave! Where will you go?- Somewhere as far from here as possible.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12But what about me?
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Come with me.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18- You're old enough.- What about Dad?
0:40:18 > 0:40:20What about him?
0:40:20 > 0:40:22I want the three of us to stick together and just sort things out.
0:40:22 > 0:40:27- That's not happening I'm sorry. I've tried.- Why did I have to mess things up for us?!
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Think about it, yeah? I'm going to go and pack my stuff up.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34I won't leave until you get back.
0:40:43 > 0:40:44- What's up, bro?- I lost Sam's top.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Grab another one, she must have had hundreds.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50It was her favourite!
0:40:51 > 0:40:53I can still smell her on it.
0:40:54 > 0:40:59- Look, mate, it'll turn up.- She'd be furious at me for losing it!
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Oh, no, she wouldn't. She'd tell you to stop stressing.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Let's go to this memorial, eh?
0:41:28 > 0:41:30- Hey, Lauren?- Hmm?
0:41:30 > 0:41:33- Still got that box?- Er, yeah. Why?
0:41:33 > 0:41:36I was thinking about what you said, and it's not junk.
0:41:37 > 0:41:42- We should bury it next to the tree. It'd be like she's really be there then.- That's a lovely idea, Finn.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46I think you keep that, Finn.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50I reckon she'd want you to.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Cheers, mate.
0:41:59 > 0:42:00Oi!
0:42:01 > 0:42:05Get off that! That's my sisters', you silly little cow!
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Denzil! Hey, that's enough!
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Where did you get this from?
0:42:09 > 0:42:12It was on the floor after maths.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17I must've dropped it.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21- I didn't know. - The next time you find something, you hand it in, OK?
0:42:23 > 0:42:26What would've happened if I hadn't been here?
0:42:26 > 0:42:27I'd've stopped him, sir.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29I'm asking you.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34I'm sorry, I don't know what got into me.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Let's get the tree sorted, yeah.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47I bet you're happy Dad's ended it with Mum.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49He needed to know, Aiden.
0:42:49 > 0:42:54Your dad has to be a part of it because you're going to need him now more than ever before.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56- I need my mum, too.- Of course.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00The difference is my mum's leaving and wants me to go with her.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03Well, running away isn't going to solve anything.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06My mum barely stood a chance with Dad
0:43:06 > 0:43:10and now you're butting in. No wonder she wants to leave.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13- Aiden, wait!- Karen?
0:43:13 > 0:43:16Richard wants to talk to you.
0:43:17 > 0:43:18I...
0:43:18 > 0:43:20presume this is about the meeting?
0:43:20 > 0:43:24Mum...have you got a sec?
0:43:25 > 0:43:29Chris, can you take Richard up to my office? I'm sorry, I shouldn't be a moment.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31Yeah. Come with me.
0:43:35 > 0:43:39- Whatever this is, couldn't it have waited?- No.
0:43:39 > 0:43:43- Mum, I need to speak to you now. - Let's go in here.
0:43:44 > 0:43:46Is it your exams?
0:43:46 > 0:43:49Have they got too much for you?
0:43:49 > 0:43:50Because we can sort that.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52Mum...
0:43:58 > 0:44:00..my period's late.
0:44:04 > 0:44:06Two weeks.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10It's Aiden's.
0:44:13 > 0:44:16How can you be so stupid?!
0:44:18 > 0:44:22We've talked about sex, protection!
0:44:22 > 0:44:26You silly, silly girl!
0:44:26 > 0:44:29Mum, I know, I am sorry, OK?
0:44:29 > 0:44:33- I didn't know what to do, I had to tell you.- Have you done a test?
0:44:37 > 0:44:38What am I going to do?
0:44:38 > 0:44:43Maybe you should've thought about that before you jumped into bed with the local tomcat!
0:44:45 > 0:44:48- We'll talk about this later. - Why not now?
0:44:48 > 0:44:51Well, let me think!
0:44:51 > 0:44:56Perhaps it's because I've got Richard Whitman from the LA waiting for me in my office,
0:44:56 > 0:45:00or maybe it's because I had to disqualify three pupils from their chemistry exam.
0:45:00 > 0:45:05Or maybe it's Sambuca Kelly's memorial service that I had to prepare for.
0:45:05 > 0:45:10Or the fact that TWO pupils have told me that they're pregnant.
0:45:11 > 0:45:15So, excuse me if I don't have time to chat!
0:45:16 > 0:45:18Why is it this place always comes first?
0:45:20 > 0:45:24Don't you dare twist this on me, girl.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29I've said we'll talk later...
0:45:29 > 0:45:30and we will.
0:45:31 > 0:45:33And crying won't fix it!
0:45:40 > 0:45:43Richard, I'm sorry I'm late.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47Did Janeece offer you a drink?
0:45:47 > 0:45:50Several times, but I didn't come here to drink tea.
0:45:51 > 0:45:52So how did the meeting go?
0:45:52 > 0:45:57We had a long and frank discussion and the decision was unanimous.
0:45:58 > 0:46:03It gives me no joy to serve a warning notice on this school.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12- On what basis? - We believe there's been a total breakdown in management.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14So this is about me?
0:46:16 > 0:46:18And what about our meeting at lunch?
0:46:18 > 0:46:22- I thought we'd talked a few things through.- Karen, you are meant to bean experienced Head,
0:46:22 > 0:46:25but you asked my advice on how to run your school.
0:46:25 > 0:46:29That, on top of all the other failings, left the Council
0:46:29 > 0:46:31with no confidence in your ability...
0:46:31 > 0:46:34- You had this planned all along. - Clearly you're very upset.
0:46:34 > 0:46:36It's understandable.
0:46:37 > 0:46:42I'll give you some time to digest the news, and then be in touch as to what happens next.
0:46:50 > 0:46:54Is everything all right? You look a bit...
0:46:54 > 0:46:55What is it, Janeece?
0:46:55 > 0:46:59Oh, er, you're needed - it's Sam's Memorial.
0:47:06 > 0:47:07Tom!
0:47:10 > 0:47:15Would you mind reading my speech at Sam's memorial?
0:47:16 > 0:47:18Why, what's the matter?
0:47:18 > 0:47:23I... I just don't think I'm the right person to do it, that's all.
0:47:23 > 0:47:24Karen, of course you are.
0:47:24 > 0:47:26Oh, I don't know.
0:47:26 > 0:47:31I'm not really sure whether I'm cut out for this, to be honest.
0:47:34 > 0:47:36Hey, when we lost Sam the way that we did...
0:47:38 > 0:47:39..I learnt a lot of things.
0:47:41 > 0:47:45One of which being that you don't just give up when the road gets bumpy.
0:47:47 > 0:47:49You know what she'd say?
0:47:50 > 0:47:53She'd say, "Stop being a stupid old cow
0:47:53 > 0:47:55"and get your arse in gear."
0:47:59 > 0:48:01We've got to carry on.
0:48:04 > 0:48:06We're still here.
0:48:07 > 0:48:12- Better get my arse in gear then, hadn't I?- Yeah.
0:48:16 > 0:48:21I feel very proud to be here today,
0:48:21 > 0:48:25proud to have known someone as special
0:48:25 > 0:48:26as Sambuca Kelly.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39The first day I met Sam,
0:48:39 > 0:48:42I was new to the school,
0:48:42 > 0:48:45and at the time, Sam seemed to me
0:48:45 > 0:48:47to be one of my biggest challenges.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52She was full of attitude,
0:48:52 > 0:48:54was opinionated
0:48:54 > 0:48:56and very mischievous.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58And that's putting it politely.
0:49:02 > 0:49:03At first,
0:49:03 > 0:49:06I tried to control Sam.
0:49:07 > 0:49:08Big mistake!
0:49:09 > 0:49:13Sam was wonderful because she knew who she was...
0:49:15 > 0:49:18..and she'd fight for what was right.
0:49:18 > 0:49:20She taught me
0:49:20 > 0:49:23what Waterloo Road
0:49:23 > 0:49:24is all about.
0:49:28 > 0:49:34Life has a habit of throwing up some very big challenges
0:49:34 > 0:49:36to each and every one of us
0:49:36 > 0:49:39when we least expect them.
0:49:42 > 0:49:45And it's how we deal with them that matters.
0:49:46 > 0:49:51Sam never ran away from anything in her life. She faced things head on
0:49:51 > 0:49:53and I know
0:49:53 > 0:49:56that I'm not the only person here today
0:49:56 > 0:49:59who will miss her
0:49:59 > 0:50:01more than words can ever say.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14APPLAUSE
0:50:19 > 0:50:20Lauren...
0:50:20 > 0:50:23and Amy...and Finn...
0:50:23 > 0:50:24over to you.
0:50:34 > 0:50:37Hey you, come here.
0:50:37 > 0:50:39We'll get through this, you know.
0:50:41 > 0:50:43I don't know how, but we will.
0:50:46 > 0:50:50- What if I forget about her? - No, that's never going to happen.
0:51:00 > 0:51:02You OK?
0:51:02 > 0:51:04Yeah, I am if you are.
0:51:07 > 0:51:09- It's beautiful, isn't it?- It is.
0:51:12 > 0:51:16- Look, we'll pop round later, see how you're doing.- You know...
0:51:16 > 0:51:19I think you two should have some time together, just the two of you.
0:51:19 > 0:51:22You sure? It's no problem.
0:51:22 > 0:51:26Yeah, I'm fine. I've got Denzil and Prince to look after me.
0:51:28 > 0:51:30You know where we are if you need anything.
0:51:41 > 0:51:43- Thanks.- Mrs Fisher.
0:51:43 > 0:51:46Got a bit of a proposal for you.
0:51:47 > 0:51:48Go on.
0:51:48 > 0:51:52Well, I know that the school is struggling a bit, and I...
0:51:52 > 0:51:54well, I'd like to help.
0:51:56 > 0:51:58English masterclass,
0:51:58 > 0:52:01courtesy of yours truly. Open to years ten
0:52:01 > 0:52:04and eleven on a Saturday morning.
0:52:05 > 0:52:08That's sounds like a great idea.
0:52:09 > 0:52:10Starting next term.
0:52:10 > 0:52:12I will be here,
0:52:12 > 0:52:13er, teaching,
0:52:13 > 0:52:17- as usual next term? - Is this about the redundancies?
0:52:18 > 0:52:21There are no redundancies.
0:52:21 > 0:52:27But thank you very much for your offer of a Saturday school, I'm sure it'll help the school.
0:52:30 > 0:52:32- It was beautiful.- Thank you.
0:52:36 > 0:52:41That file was confidential and you shouldn't have read it.
0:52:41 > 0:52:46- Yeah, but...- Sorry to interrupt. ..Do you have a minute?
0:52:56 > 0:52:59- That was a nice speech.- Thank you.
0:52:59 > 0:53:00I've told Naomi it's over.
0:53:02 > 0:53:04It was never going to work...
0:53:08 > 0:53:10..and I was just too stupid to see it
0:53:10 > 0:53:12and I am sorry.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17I don't care about Naomi, Rob.
0:53:17 > 0:53:19Not after today.
0:53:19 > 0:53:21Jess is pregnant.
0:53:21 > 0:53:23She just told me.
0:53:23 > 0:53:26And yes, before you ask,
0:53:26 > 0:53:27it is Aiden's.
0:53:29 > 0:53:33You need to sort that boy out, he's out of control.
0:53:47 > 0:53:50Aiden? Get down here, now!
0:54:27 > 0:54:29Mum's gone.
0:54:30 > 0:54:31She left without me.
0:54:31 > 0:54:36- She didn't even say goodbye. - And what, you were...
0:54:36 > 0:54:39- thinking of going with her, were you? - I had to, Dad.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42I've let you down,
0:54:42 > 0:54:44I've let everyone down.
0:54:46 > 0:54:50- We could've worked things out. - Look, just hang on a sec, son.
0:54:50 > 0:54:54Let's get one thing straight. Your mother, she didn't leave
0:54:54 > 0:54:57because of me, or because of you.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01She left because of who she is
0:55:01 > 0:55:02and what she is.
0:55:05 > 0:55:07D'you understand what I'm saying?
0:55:07 > 0:55:10Is...
0:55:10 > 0:55:13- Is this what she did last time? - Yeah.
0:55:14 > 0:55:16Oh, yeah.
0:55:20 > 0:55:23OK, Aiden, there's something else you should know.
0:55:24 > 0:55:26Jess is pregnant...
0:55:26 > 0:55:28and it's yours. Her mum just told me.
0:55:30 > 0:55:35- I'll put some stuff into a bag and I'll just go.- You're going nowhere.
0:55:35 > 0:55:36I'm really sorry, Dad.
0:55:36 > 0:55:39What about your job...
0:55:39 > 0:55:41this place?
0:55:41 > 0:55:44I have ruined everything.
0:55:44 > 0:55:45Well, I, er...
0:55:46 > 0:55:50D'you know what, I don't know what's going to happen,
0:55:50 > 0:55:52but I do know one thing...
0:55:54 > 0:55:56..you're stuck with me.
0:56:02 > 0:56:05Jess? Can I have a word?
0:56:05 > 0:56:08Yeah. ..Catch up with you guys later?
0:56:14 > 0:56:17Jess, about what happened earlier...
0:56:17 > 0:56:19I don't think I handled it very well.
0:56:22 > 0:56:24What's it going to do to you, Mum...
0:56:25 > 0:56:27..when this lot find out?
0:56:29 > 0:56:32No matter what...
0:56:32 > 0:56:33I'm here for you.
0:56:37 > 0:56:39- See you later.- Yeah.
0:56:43 > 0:56:44Karen?
0:56:44 > 0:56:46Why didn't you tell me?
0:56:46 > 0:56:48Tell you about what?
0:56:48 > 0:56:53About the Warning Notice. I've just spoken to the Governors. They've been trying to get hold of you.
0:56:53 > 0:56:55I was going to when we'd finished here.
0:56:55 > 0:56:57This just seemed a lot more important.
0:56:57 > 0:57:00Hey, you know that I'm behind you, don't you?
0:57:00 > 0:57:04- And the rest of the staff, they will be as well. - What if they're right, Chris?
0:57:04 > 0:57:07What if Waterloo Road would be better off without me?
0:57:07 > 0:57:10Don't be ridiculous. We are going to fight this.
0:57:10 > 0:57:12I just don't want to let anyone down.
0:57:12 > 0:57:15Well, you give up now and you will do.
0:57:17 > 0:57:20All right.
0:57:20 > 0:57:21Fight's on.
0:57:29 > 0:57:32You're a failure, this school is a failure
0:57:32 > 0:57:34and it will be closed.
0:57:34 > 0:57:36I thought we were going after Karen Fisher?
0:57:36 > 0:57:39- Eleanor, you can't back out now. - You going to deny it?
0:57:39 > 0:57:42- She's up the duff as well. - You're disrupting the whole school.
0:57:42 > 0:57:45- You know that? - You can stuff your school!
0:57:45 > 0:57:47She slept with MY boyfriend behind MY back!
0:57:47 > 0:57:50Don't you think she's had enough punishment?
0:57:51 > 0:57:53Oi! Can we lose them?
0:57:53 > 0:57:57- You're not serious? - I need that grass back.
0:57:57 > 0:58:00Our priority has always been our pupils, pupils like Jodie Allen.
0:58:00 > 0:58:03This is her last chance,
0:58:03 > 0:58:05and I'm suspending you.
