0:00:02 > 0:00:04The local authority are discussing our status,
0:00:04 > 0:00:07whether we're failing as a school or whether I'm failing as a head.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11You get another girl pregnant, you're on your own, son.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14This is Scout. She's new today and she's in your class.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17- I'm pregnant. - My dad is going to kill me.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20My period's late. It's Aiden's.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22How could you be so stupid?
0:00:22 > 0:00:27- It wasn't enough nicking my girlfriend, was it? You had to get her pregnant as well.- What?
0:00:27 > 0:00:31It gives me no joy to serve a warning notice on this school.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52MUSIC: "Say Aha" by Santogold.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- I'll be late for school. - And they're paying you, are they?
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Jess, are you all right? I've got an early meeting.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Fine.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Apparently it's worse in the beginning.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01OK. If you're sure.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05I've decided I'm going to keep it.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Great. Uncle Harry. How old does that sound?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Are you absolutely certain that's what you want?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Well, you said it's my decision.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19And I'll back you.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Can we just keep it to ourselves for now?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25The last thing we need is for the whole school to find out.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Did you hear that, Harry?- Yeah!
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Speak later.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57DOG BARKS
0:03:07 > 0:03:08Morning.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14I'm sorry for dragging you in so early, but I wouldn't do it without good reason.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18The LA have served us with a warning notice.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23- What, they're shutting us down? - No, it's only a warning.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Um, no final decision has been made.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- That's reassuring(!) - On what grounds?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33They're blaming a breakdown in management.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36My management.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40But we have got the full support of the governors and we'll be appealing the notice.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45- Well, I'm glad to hear it. - The bottom line is we have to be whiter than white.
0:03:45 > 0:03:53Can we put this behind us today, as it's the sixth form elections?
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Try and enjoy it.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Pointless charade if ever there was one.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00We'll be announcing the results after school.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01Thanks, everyone.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Richard, everyone's pretty rattled. She's just told them about it.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11But I thought you should know, she's saying she's got the support of the governors.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Look, it's a weekend viewing or nothing.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15I'm very busy at work.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Estate agents. Just kill 'em!
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Right, time to prove what a load of crap this warning notice is.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Why bother? It'll be P45s by Friday.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30Not if we offer Karen our support, starting by nailing our colours to the mast.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35- Are you sure you want to take me on? I was a member of the Tory Party at 15.- Counts for nothing round here.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- Labour heartland.- Lib Dem?- What? And get into bed with you lot?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I wouldn't mind getting into bed with you.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Metaphorically speaking.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Vote Conservative, guys!
0:04:50 > 0:04:56- Hi, vote for Labour.- Vote for Jess, Conservatives!- You guys vote for me. Thank you.- Vote Conservative!
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Minging.- What did you expect from the Slapper Party anyway?
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- What are you like?- Serious. These are dangerous weapons.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Massage you into submission any day.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Oh, might have to take you up on that.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Don't forget to vote Conservative!
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- How's it going?- Yeah, great.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29The longer you leave it, the harder it's going to be.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31They hate me.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Yeah.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Oi, come on, come on!
0:05:35 > 0:05:39We agreed - you're going to step up and take some responsibility.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- You're a Scotcher. - We do the right thing.- Good.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Vote Conservative.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50The future's bright, the future's blue.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Didn't know you supported City.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Jess, can we just talk about this?
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Which bit do you want to talk about? You cheating on me or that we're both pregnant?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I'm trying to do the right thing, give you some support.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Yeah, well, you haven't told anyone, have you?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Hardly.- Good. Because it's no-one's business.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10This is my baby too. I've got rights.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12You had your chance, Aiden, and you were AWOL.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25KNOCK ON DOOR
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Come in.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31What is it?
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Ah, OK.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39I've had a long chat with Aiden and he'll speak with the girls today.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Well, that's a start.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Oh, he'll do the right thing, Karen.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45I'll make sure of it.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Good.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- Was there anything else?- No.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I'll leave you to it.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Haven't got a pen, sir.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Here.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Sit down.
0:07:16 > 0:07:22Right, finally, we gently heat the test tube over the Bunsen burner.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Eurgh. Ah, that stinks!
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Nearly as bad as Scout.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32CHILDREN LAUGH
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- Denzil!- Take a proper sniff. Hopefully it's poisonous.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Oi! That's enough, you two. Right, everyone, back to your seats.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Homework!
0:07:42 > 0:07:48I want you to write up the results of this experiment on these worksheets.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Bring it in next lesson, please.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Is there any danger of you ever turning up on time?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I keep getting lost, sir.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Not used to t'area.- Well, this place isn't a drop-in centre.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07BELL RINGS
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Make sure you get a worksheet off me before you leave.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Ah-ah, kids before pigs.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24CHILDREN LAUGH
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Welcome to the first of today's hustings.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Miss Chaudry?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Each candidate will make a brief opening statement.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42First up - Jess Fisher, Conservatives.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49The Conservative Party stands for diversity.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54So if you vote for me, you will get a full social calendar.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59Film nights to salsa classes, from bingo to...all sorts.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01This place will be buzzing.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Thanks, Jess. Vicki MacDonald, the Labour Party!
0:09:08 > 0:09:10POLITE APPLAUSE
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Bingo?
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Doesn't that prove just how out of touch the Conservatives are?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18We want to know what you think.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23We're going to set up an entertainment committee to get this party started.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- Whoo! - APPLAUSE
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- What about a mother and toddler group? - LAUGHTER
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Oh, that's a bit of an exclusive club.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38For God's sake, stop going on like it's something to be proud of.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Just let it go.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44I don't think you're going to get the sympathy vote on getting pregnant with that idiot.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47You can't talk, you hypocrite.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Shut it, Aiden!
0:09:49 > 0:09:52What? You going to deny it?
0:09:52 > 0:09:53She's up the duff as well.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55EXCITED MURMUR
0:09:55 > 0:09:58You couldn't keep your big mouth shut, could you?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Have any of them heard of protection or..?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03No, they don't make condoms small enough for him.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Let's just simmer down, shall we?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Get back to the election, please.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08- Quiet, please!- Settle down!
0:10:08 > 0:10:13Let's hear from the other two cos I'm not going to waste my vote on these two slappers!
0:10:13 > 0:10:16You! Into the cooler. Now!
0:10:20 > 0:10:25- I had no idea.- Oh, I'm sorry, did I not run it by you first?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- It's Aiden's?- Yes, it's Aiden's. I don't sleep around.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Will you all shut up!

0:11:12 > 0:11:14What're you doing stealing food?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Don't they feed you at home?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- Big appetite.- I don't think so.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20You're skin and bones.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Metabolism, isn't it?
0:11:23 > 0:11:27You'd know that, being a science teacher.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30But washing in the canteen.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34- It's none of your business.- It is when you're meant to be in class.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38Look...
0:11:41 > 0:11:47You can stop the teasing by just making sure you have a wash before you come to school.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Mum was hogging the bathroom.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57She's a model. Needs to look good.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00I don't want to have to call her in, Scout.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06OK.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10I'm sorry.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13It won't happen again.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15Happy?
0:12:15 > 0:12:20No. No, I'm not. Something's going on. What is it?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Nothing's going on.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25I promise.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28OK.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Off you go.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Scout?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43If you change your mind, you know where I am.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49I'm not tolerating that kind of behaviour.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52You can take a couple of days to cool off.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53And what about Jess and Vicki?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56It takes two to make a baby, in case you'd forgot.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Enough! Apologise.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05- You're disrupting the whole school, you know that? - You can stuff your school.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- I really thought I'd got through to him.- Obviously not!
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- I'll try again. - The suspension still stands.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Can't you give him another chance?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I'm going to do what's right for the school.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Oi.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Oi!
0:13:31 > 0:13:33What is it with you, Aiden? Mm?
0:13:33 > 0:13:38You promise me you're going to grow up, you end up behaving like a petulant child.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40- Listen to me.- Get off me!
0:13:41 > 0:13:45You know, as soon as things look all right, you screw it up for us.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50What is it you expect from me? I am what I am.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53I'm a screw-up. I can't change that.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01Yeah, come in.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Erm, I hear, er, you've got some concerns about Jodi Allen?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10At least the grapevine's in fine working order.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15Yep, I've got her file here. It's a rainforest's worth of truancy reports and letters home.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Well, she's, er, definitely here today.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20In body at least.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27I'll take it from here.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Come on, Goldilocks.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I'm not giving up this time, Scout.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48So you may as well stop all the games and tell me exactly what's going on.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50I was up early on my paper round.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55Loads of kids have paper rounds, you don't see them falling asleep in class.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58You ever been to one of Mr Chalk's lessons?
0:14:58 > 0:15:02The last thing this school needs is a reputation for letting kids sleep the day away.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04PHONE RINGS
0:15:04 > 0:15:05That should be off.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Oi!

0:15:17 > 0:15:21No. You've got it wrong. Give it back, sir. I need 'em.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26- Come on. You're coming with me. - It's my mum's, she's ill!
0:15:29 > 0:15:31She's got MS.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Please, Mr Mead. She's really suffering.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42The drugs the doctors give her, they're rubbish.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Let me have it back. Please?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46You know that I can't do that.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Look, I'm sorry about your mum...
0:15:49 > 0:15:52You're not sorry. You're just like all the rest!

0:16:06 > 0:16:09Oi! Oi! Is it man?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Or is it a machine?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- BOTH:- No, it's sperminator!
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Shut it!
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- What you doing?- Leaving. I can look after myself.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- You can't leave.- Watch me!
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Er, have you forgotten something?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- I'm pregnant and so is Jess. We need to talk.- You'll be fine.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41And how d'ya work that one out? I've got no-one else.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44It's too late. I'm out of here.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Mrs Allen? Hi. It's Chris Mead from Waterloo Road.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00- That woman!- I knew I wasn't the only one they hung up on.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- I hope that's fairtrade. - On teacher's wages?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I knew you couldn't do it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- And what's that?- Green is too much of a modern concept.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23You're still steam engines and coal fires. A dinosaur.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- I can do green. - Tenner says you can't.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- I'll have some of that. - You're on.- Daniel?

0:17:35 > 0:17:37I've just found this on Jodie Allen.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- Ah, well, that explains a lot. - She's saying her mum's got MS.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- You don't believe that. - Can you file it for me while I get it checked out?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Yeah, course.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Well, the LA can't accuse us of not caring.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57What do you think? Fitting for a returning officer?
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Very Maggie.

0:18:19 > 0:18:25I thought that it was going to make her feel a bit older but it's given her a right lease of life.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Ah, that's reassuring to know.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Although she did take up knitting.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Could you get Chris Mead to countersign that
0:18:36 > 0:18:38and then fax the whole thing through to the governors?
0:18:41 > 0:18:45I hope you don't mind me asking, but this warning notice...

0:20:14 > 0:20:18# I could feel him in the back of my brain... #
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- Had to do it on the hob.- Thanks.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Was waiting for Scout to put some more money on t'leccy.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29I thought I'd find her here.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Haven't seen her since this morning.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35She told me about your illness. Must be hard for all of you.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39I caught her with drugs. She said it was for your MS.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Yeah...yeah, that's right.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46I know when I've been played.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51They're not hers.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54She just looks after 'em for people.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- Cops don't turn over 15-year-old girls.- And you're OK with that?
0:21:01 > 0:21:06Benefits don't go very far and till our numbers come up,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08it's one way of bringing extra cash in.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- One way? - She's got a paper round as well.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14You can't rely on Scout to provide. What does your social worker say?
0:21:14 > 0:21:18No, don't tell them. They'll take her away.
0:21:18 > 0:21:24She's a child, she shouldn't have this much responsibility.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27She turns up to school, doesn't she?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Look, I don't know what she was used to at her last school,
0:21:30 > 0:21:32but we take the welfare of pupils seriously.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36She's all right. Just...just leave us alone.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41- It's not fair on Scout.- Please. She's all I've got.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51No, I understand. Thanks for your time.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Problems?
0:21:55 > 0:22:00Social services can't help Scout. They say she's not a high risk.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Things didn't go too well with the mother, then?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06She's a waste of time. She relies on Scout to do everything.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11The authorities have their hands tied, so... another kid lost in the system.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Surely they're entitled to some help if the woman's ill.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17She was lying about the MS.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21She's running drugs to pay the bills.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Tom...can we lose them?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30You're not serious?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32This is a kid's future.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34But there's a line you don't cross.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Especially when we've got this warning notice hanging over us.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40If this girl drops out, she'll be just like her mum.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43A kid in tow and all the spark gone. I don't want that to happen.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Please...
0:22:49 > 0:22:53You get her sorted, I'll take her name off the form.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- But you've got to hand the drugs in.- Cheers, mate.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57You've got my vote.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Where d'ya find that?
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Antiques Roadshow? What happened? Daddy take off your stabilisers?
0:23:22 > 0:23:26I was only messing, you loon!
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- Hey, you all right? - What do you care?
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- You're just jealous. - Like why? He's a minger.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43It'll be me he's running those fingers along.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- Wahey! Two-nil, Scotcher! Back of the net.- Shut up.
0:23:46 > 0:23:52- At least the CSA won't be on your case.- Oh, mate, they'll bankrupt Aiden, big time.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- Cheaper being a jaffa. - Leave him alone.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56What, like you did?
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Ronan, wait.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- You know Aiden's left? - Pity he didn't take you with him.
0:24:03 > 0:24:08- Ladies, mind if I join you? - We were just leaving.- I wasn't.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20- I need that grass back. - Your mum hasn't got MS. I went round to your flat.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Think you know everything 'bout us now, then, do you?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27I know that she shouldn't be relying on you like she does.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32I'm in trouble cos of you. They want the stuff. Don't you get it?
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Yes, I get it. Which is why there's no way I'll give it you back.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Your mum might not have a problem with it but I do. It's illegal.
0:24:39 > 0:24:45- So?- So, if you get caught, it's a one-way ticket into care.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49- Or prison.- What are you going to do? Grass me up?
0:24:49 > 0:24:53If that's what it takes, yes. Get inside!
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Hey, it's not the end of world, you know? I mean, look at me.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Single mum, great job. I couldn't be happier.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06The actual birth bit is pretty painful and gross but you end up...
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Are you waiting for me, Vicki? Come on through.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Just take a seat.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31I want to leave.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34Why?
0:25:35 > 0:25:41- Aiden's going.- Is he taking you with him?- Hardly!
0:25:42 > 0:25:46I'm as much to blame for this mess. And everyone here hates me.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47I don't think so.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49They do.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53And seeing them everyday reminds me of what a cow I've been.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56I mean, where did I go wrong with the lad?
0:25:56 > 0:26:00It's like he's got a self-destruct button.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02It's not your fault.
0:26:02 > 0:26:07You've got to stop making excuses for him. I mean, he did the crime.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- He's not leaving.- Well, why not?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11That's what he wants to do.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15Because he has to learn you can't keep running away.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19He's got everything for him here.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Don't you think it's time you stopped telling him what to do?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25He's old enough to make his own decisions.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31It shouldn't be your responsibility to provide for your family.
0:26:31 > 0:26:37Shouldn't. Couldn't. Whatever! It's all right for you with your nice job, nice house, nice car.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40We need that money.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45- I'll lend you some. How much? - I'm not a charity case.- All right.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48All right, then, work for it.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50I'll pay you to help at the election party.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53You won't earn as much but it's a start.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56You just steer clear of the drugs.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58I'm not working for you.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00My family look after each other.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03You're looking after your mum and your brother.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Nobody's taking care of you.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06I can take care of myself.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11Have you any idea how much trouble you're in?
0:27:22 > 0:27:25All right...
0:27:25 > 0:27:27you need to think about this.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45How are you doing?
0:27:45 > 0:27:49So much for the whole school not finding out.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52- I could kill Aiden.- He's going.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55I heard.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58Vicki wants to go as well.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02Well, I'm sure they'll make a nice couple.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06- Bonnie and Clyde. - She's not leaving with him.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09She doesn't feel that she's welcome here any more.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14- That's perceptive. - You don't mean that.- Don't I?
0:28:18 > 0:28:21She could really use a friend right now.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Why is everybody so concerned about her?
0:28:24 > 0:28:29She slept with MY boyfriend behind MY back.
0:28:29 > 0:28:35She doesn't have anyone, Jess. Don't you think she's had enough punishment?
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Yeah, well, at least she hasn't got people judging her.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Don't pretend you want me to keep this baby.
0:28:42 > 0:28:47I just don't want you to do anything you'll regret.
0:28:47 > 0:28:52The only thing I regret is telling you anything about it.
0:28:54 > 0:29:00Atticus warned that, "It's a sin to kill a mockingbird." Why?
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Why, Jodie Allen?
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Miss Allen?
0:29:15 > 0:29:20Because they do nothing but sing their hearts out.
0:29:22 > 0:29:23Meaning?
0:29:23 > 0:29:27We shouldn't harm those who don't harm us.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33Right, I want two sides from all of you on the role of Boo Radley.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36- CLASS GROANS - Shhhh!
0:29:41 > 0:29:42Who's Boo Radley?
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- Won't you need a gas mask sitting there?- I'll survive.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50- PHONE RINGS - Turn it off.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57Lend us some money?
0:30:04 > 0:30:07What is going on?
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Couldn't lend us a tenner, sir? CLASS LAUGHS
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Cooler. Now!
0:30:26 > 0:30:29PHONE RINGS
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- Read that out for me. - "Ethanol is made..."
0:30:53 > 0:30:55- Carry on with that, yeah? - "..barley and potatoes..."
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Scout?
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Did you want me?
0:31:08 > 0:31:09Is that job still available?
0:31:12 > 0:31:14How much do you owe him?
0:31:15 > 0:31:1725.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22All right, but there's one condition.
0:31:24 > 0:31:29No more couriering and you never go near drugs ever again.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31- That's two conditions. - I'm serious, Scout.
0:31:31 > 0:31:36- I'm not helping if I can't trust you.- You can. Promise.
0:31:36 > 0:31:41Good. And I meant what I said - you're earning this.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Thanks, sir.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05You won't survive without Waterloo Road. You need this place.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07I'm not the one tied to a family.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09You won't be free when that one comes.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13At least I won't have people telling me what to do with my own kid.
0:32:13 > 0:32:18Because you won't know anybody, so there won't be much chance of a night out with your mates.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30- Listen to us.- Like a couple of bitching politicians.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40I'm... I am really sorry, you know, Jess.
0:32:43 > 0:32:44I just wish this never happened.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Yeah, well, it wasn't exactly on my life plan...
0:32:50 > 0:32:54being up the duff without a paddle before I leave school.
0:32:55 > 0:33:00I always said if I had a kid, I'd give it everything I never had.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Like stability, a proper family.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Now there's not much chance of that, is there?
0:33:11 > 0:33:14You know, I could really use someone to talk to.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Someone that...understands
0:33:19 > 0:33:22just how terrifying all this really is.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37You all right?
0:33:43 > 0:33:46- I can't do this any more. - Is this about the bike?
0:33:46 > 0:33:50Look, I feel really bad about that. Just keep the money to pay for it.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52I mean it, Darren.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58- If I get caught... - You're too good to get caught.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04It doesn't matter what they tell you in there.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07You're never going to earn this sort of money anywhere else.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13You don't want to let me down, Scout?
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Pick up some gear from there and keep it safe till tomorrow.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:34:30 > 0:34:34- ..And the Labour Party will set up an eco-committee.- What?! Thieving...
0:34:34 > 0:34:37No, no...thieving magpie. That is one of ours.
0:34:37 > 0:34:43- We also propose to get rid of uniform for sixth form. - Not that old chestnut!
0:34:43 > 0:34:45We can express ourselves.
0:34:45 > 0:34:51Fact is, if you've got it, you'll look good in anything! I don't have a problem with uniform.
0:34:51 > 0:34:56Formal uniform is elitist and unnecessary, much like the honourable lady.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Oh! And what is he going to do when pupils get victimised
0:35:00 > 0:35:03because they can't afford the latest fashion?
0:35:05 > 0:35:08You can get three decent outfits for the cost of a blazer.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12Yeah, thanks to sweatshops in the Far East!
0:35:12 > 0:35:15I thought you were the party that campaigned for workers' rights.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Is New Labour condoning slave labour?
0:35:18 > 0:35:22- No, of course not. Of course not. - Sorry, out of time...
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Jess?
0:35:24 > 0:35:30The Conservatives will introduce a new pupil-teacher committee where we work together on issues.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34Er, whoa! What good will that do? They can't agree as it is!
0:35:34 > 0:35:35LAUGHTER
0:35:35 > 0:35:37BELL RINGS
0:35:37 > 0:35:41- OK. Voting is now open in the hall! - CHEERING
0:36:11 > 0:36:17- Thought I'd been stung for a minute there.- Sorry. Had to put some leccy on t'key for Mum.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Did you have any trouble paying that debt?
0:36:20 > 0:36:25He wasn't happy at losing his employee of the month but he didn't get nasty or nothing.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Good.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30New start?
0:36:30 > 0:36:33It's lost property but it'll do.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39Got to look your best, haven't you? Now, shoes!
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- Eww!- What you doing?
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Best to be on the safe side.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54There's a wash bag here, the changing rooms are open.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Why are you being so nice to me?
0:37:04 > 0:37:09Most people are, when you give 'em half a chance.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14I won't be making a habit of it, you know?
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Eleanor?
0:37:23 > 0:37:27Ah, come to witness a historic Conservative victory?
0:37:27 > 0:37:30No time for frivolities, I'm afraid.
0:37:30 > 0:37:35Karen's causing more waves than expected, so keep the lines of communication open.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39How about...drugs?
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Go on. I'm interested.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48Chris Mead found some on a Year Ten girl this morning.
0:37:48 > 0:37:53- Have the police been informed? - Not that I know of.- Don't you think they should?- Well, I...
0:37:53 > 0:37:57- Would you mind? Can't keep Her Majesty waiting.- But...
0:37:59 > 0:38:01..the police? Isn't that going a bit far?
0:38:01 > 0:38:06- Well, we have the information, we have to act on it.- I thought we were after Karen Fisher.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Eleanor, you can't back out now.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20I told him he couldn't come straight in.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23It's all right, Janeece. I'll take it from here.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Richard, how can I help you?
0:38:29 > 0:38:32I've just had an interesting call from your chair of governors.
0:38:32 > 0:38:37- What have you been saying? - He has a right to know the truth.
0:38:38 > 0:38:43- I have his backing.- If you think they'll believe you, you're more deluded than I thought.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47We both know this isn't about Waterloo Road,
0:38:47 > 0:38:49this is about a problem you have with me.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53That's just semantics. You need to face facts, Karen.
0:38:53 > 0:38:58You're a failure, this school is a failure and it will be closed.
0:38:58 > 0:39:03I have two weeks to appeal this notice.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07- And I will. - Don't embarrass yourself.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09You appeal this notice and the gloves are off.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12If you want a fight, Richard, I'm ready.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Resign.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22- I beg your pardon?- Resign today.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25I'm giving you a way out.
0:39:25 > 0:39:31This school needs me to protect it from you.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Now, get out. I'm busy.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Oi! Been looking for you.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50- Wow. You look like a...- What?
0:39:51 > 0:39:53..a girl.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Don't! You look all right.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59- Come on.- What?- Come on!
0:40:01 > 0:40:07- Wait for it.- What's the story with Mr Mead anyway? He seems all right.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11Better than some, I suppose. He's still a teacher. Ready?
0:40:12 > 0:40:16- Oh, my God! It's...- Mint?
0:40:16 > 0:40:20- Yeah! Why'd you do it? - Mr Scotcher helped me.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24You've got your own thing going on.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29- You're off your head. - I get first crack.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34MUSIC BLARES
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Look, I've been thinking...
0:40:40 > 0:40:41HE SWITCHES MUSIC OFF
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Do you know what, Aiden? You're right.
0:40:44 > 0:40:49- I should be treating you like an adult.- Hallelujah!
0:40:49 > 0:40:52So if you want to leave... leave.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55- You're OK with that? - It's your decision.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01- Where would we go? - We wouldn't go anywhere.
0:41:01 > 0:41:02I'm staying.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Let me know.
0:41:07 > 0:41:08Wait!
0:41:11 > 0:41:14- I was just saying... saying that about leaving.- Mm-hm.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18Cos I was mad at myself for messing up.
0:41:23 > 0:41:24Like father, like son.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Hardly.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28You were a mistake, you know?
0:41:28 > 0:41:33Well, me and your mum, we weren't that steady.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Never saw past the weekend, me.
0:41:37 > 0:41:42But, er...as soon as I found out she was pregnant,
0:41:42 > 0:41:44first thing I did was talk to her.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Why didn't you tell me before?
0:41:48 > 0:41:52I can't see it makes any difference.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56I promised her I'd always be there. And I've been true to my word.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02Hey, look, I can't criticise you for what's happened.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06If I hadn't done the same, I wouldn't have...
0:42:06 > 0:42:08the most precious thing in my life.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12- I don't want to go, Dad.- Good.
0:42:12 > 0:42:18Now, Jess and Vicki are good girls. You're going to have to step up.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Thought you weren't going to tell me what to do any more.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Old habits die hard.
0:42:24 > 0:42:29- Besides, got my own life to be getting on with.- Oh, yeah?
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Time to move on.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Good afternoon, everybody, and a very big thank you
0:42:40 > 0:42:45to everyone who's been involved in today's elections.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49Now, the votes are in, so without further ado,
0:42:49 > 0:42:53I'm going to pass you over to Waterloo Road's returning officer.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Returning officer. That's fitting, that,
0:42:59 > 0:43:02cos I did used to be a pupil at this school,
0:43:02 > 0:43:04and now I'm back as a sort of teacher.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07GIGGLING
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Get on with it.
0:43:09 > 0:43:17So the number of votes that have been cast in the constituency of Waterloo Road are as follows...
0:43:17 > 0:43:21Liberal Democrat, 97.
0:43:21 > 0:43:25APPLAUSE
0:43:25 > 0:43:28Green Party, 113.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31Yes!
0:43:31 > 0:43:36Conservative, 138.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38APPLAUSE
0:43:39 > 0:43:42And Labour is...
0:43:43 > 0:43:47..138. It's a draw.
0:43:47 > 0:43:51- I demand a recount. - Is there no end to the misery?
0:43:51 > 0:43:56Well, there is an alternative.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58A coalition?
0:44:13 > 0:44:16APPLAUSE
0:44:25 > 0:44:28- Have you seen Jodie Allen? - Try the cooler.
0:44:32 > 0:44:36- Tut, tut! Go on. - We're going to be out of pocket.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40Mrs Fisher?
0:44:42 > 0:44:44It's the police.
0:44:44 > 0:44:46Karen Fisher.
0:44:52 > 0:44:55Oi! You're meant to be working. C'mon.
0:44:55 > 0:44:58- Got to go! - I'll keep your seat warm!
0:45:03 > 0:45:05Orange juice for the mums!
0:45:05 > 0:45:08Are you ready to work those magic fingers?
0:45:08 > 0:45:11I can feel the tension already.
0:45:11 > 0:45:13Yeah, if you want.
0:45:17 > 0:45:20Look, next time you want to make someone jealous, don't use me.
0:45:20 > 0:45:21LAUGHTER
0:45:31 > 0:45:35- Chris?- Yes?- The police have just received a tip-off
0:45:35 > 0:45:38that there are drugs in the school.
0:45:38 > 0:45:41- They want to search the premises. - OK.- OK?
0:45:45 > 0:45:48Are those drugs still locked in the staffroom?
0:45:48 > 0:45:51- Yeah.- We might have some explaining to do.
0:45:51 > 0:45:55OK, if I can have your attention, everybody, please.
0:45:55 > 0:46:01The police are on a routine inspection, so if we could have your co-operation. Thank you very much.
0:46:01 > 0:46:06You did file them, didn't you? Chris?
0:46:10 > 0:46:13- You've got some on you, haven't you? - He was threatening me.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16- He told me I had to look after 'em. - Here.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24Chris?
0:46:29 > 0:46:33This is Chris Mead, our deputy head. He'll show you round.
0:46:37 > 0:46:42The dog has indicated, so can you empty your pockets, please, sir?
0:46:42 > 0:46:47- There must be some mistake, this is one of our teachers.- Sir?
0:46:47 > 0:46:52- Sorry, did you hear what I said, this is my deputy head?- Sir?
0:47:08 > 0:47:10What the hell have you done?
0:47:10 > 0:47:15Nothing. It's not mine. It's Jodie Allen's.
0:47:15 > 0:47:20- Why didn't you tell me we've got a pupil using drugs? - She's couriering them for money.
0:47:20 > 0:47:23- Unbelievable! Have you told them? - No.
0:47:23 > 0:47:28- And I'm not going to. As far as they're concerned, I found them.- Sir?
0:47:28 > 0:47:32Can we sort this out in my office?
0:47:32 > 0:47:36- Has to be at the station. He's under caution.- I'll explain later.
0:47:37 > 0:47:41Right! Show's over.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44- Everything OK?- Yeah, it's great(!)
0:47:44 > 0:47:49My deputy has just been arrested for drugs. Couldn't be better.
0:47:56 > 0:48:00- Somebody must've tipped off the police.- D'you think?
0:48:00 > 0:48:02Yeah. They say it's routine - never is.
0:48:02 > 0:48:06Poor Chris. It's the last thing the school needed today.
0:48:08 > 0:48:10At least the election was a success.
0:48:10 > 0:48:15Yeah, but that won't mean a thing if we get shut down.
0:48:15 > 0:48:18- Do you think it'll come to that? - Yeah, well, who knows?
0:48:18 > 0:48:19A warning notice is serious stuff.
0:48:21 > 0:48:26I know you haven't been here long but I can't tell you what this place means to me...
0:48:26 > 0:48:29the pupils...everyone.
0:48:29 > 0:48:34I'm just worried, that's all. C'mon! Let's get to the pub.
0:48:34 > 0:48:37I'll buy you a drink, you bloody Tory.
0:48:52 > 0:48:56Leave that. Mess'll still be here tomorrow.
0:48:56 > 0:48:59You can say that again.
0:48:59 > 0:49:03- Seriously, I'll do it, you get yourself home.- Well, I can't.
0:49:03 > 0:49:07I've given Jess and Vicki some space to talk things through.
0:49:07 > 0:49:11Yeah, there's a lot for us to think about.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15Aiden's going to stay.
0:49:15 > 0:49:17If that's OK with you.
0:49:17 > 0:49:21As long as he knows what's expected of him.
0:49:21 > 0:49:24He does. He really does.
0:49:24 > 0:49:26Good.
0:49:27 > 0:49:31Look, er...look, thanks, Karen.
0:49:31 > 0:49:36In a few months' time we could be grandparents.
0:49:36 > 0:49:41I may as well just swap knitting patterns with Janeece's mother now!
0:49:42 > 0:49:47- I don't want things to be difficult between us.- Oh, me neither.
0:49:47 > 0:49:49We're going to be part of each other's lives, like it or not.
0:49:49 > 0:49:53I'll be happy with that. Share the pain.
0:49:56 > 0:49:59I am sorry that it got out of control with Naomi.
0:50:01 > 0:50:02Mostly forgotten.
0:50:06 > 0:50:08I hope so.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16So, are you going to stick around?
0:50:16 > 0:50:18Reckon. What about you?
0:50:21 > 0:50:25- You going to keep it?- Yeah.
0:50:28 > 0:50:30I don't care what people think.
0:50:31 > 0:50:36You still like him, don't you? Aiden.
0:50:37 > 0:50:39After what he did?
0:50:41 > 0:50:44I always imagined I'd be sharing all this with Ronan.
0:50:44 > 0:50:46Well, there's nothing stopping you.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50Yeah, right.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52I was dealing with the situation.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54By harbouring drugs for a pupil?
0:50:54 > 0:50:57- She needed my help.- I can't believe you're trying to justify this.
0:50:57 > 0:51:01Scout was in serious trouble. She owed someone money.
0:51:01 > 0:51:05Not our problem. Chris, you are the deputy head.
0:51:05 > 0:51:07Yes, I know that!
0:51:07 > 0:51:10But I'm also the one person that girl felt she could turn to!
0:51:10 > 0:51:12Stop shouting.
0:51:12 > 0:51:17Then perhaps you're the one who can tell her that she's expelled.
0:51:17 > 0:51:21- No. No, no, you can't expel her. - Yes, I can.- It's not her fault.
0:51:21 > 0:51:25The only reason she's mixed up in this is to put food on the table.
0:51:25 > 0:51:30And I feel sympathy for her but I can't condone this.
0:51:30 > 0:51:33Have you forgotten what this school stands for, Karen?
0:51:33 > 0:51:37I mean, forget warning notices and management breakdowns.
0:51:37 > 0:51:43Our priority has always been our pupils. Pupils like Jodie Allen.
0:51:50 > 0:51:52This is her last chance.
0:51:54 > 0:51:57I'll suspend her for a week.
0:51:57 > 0:52:02- Thank you. - And I'm suspending you as well.
0:52:04 > 0:52:07- They didn't charge me. - You were lucky.
0:52:07 > 0:52:09This is for the good of the school, Chris.
0:52:12 > 0:52:15Thanks for your loyalty, Karen(!)
0:52:19 > 0:52:21# So when you're near me
0:52:21 > 0:52:25# Darling, can't you hear me? SOS! #
0:52:27 > 0:52:30Ah, hair of the dog, I think!
0:52:30 > 0:52:32Mr Mead's been suspended.
0:52:32 > 0:52:34What?
0:52:34 > 0:52:38Sure this lot will fill you in on all the gory details.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41None of my business. I was just going to ask what you're having.
0:52:43 > 0:52:46Woo!
0:52:46 > 0:52:52I think you will find I've minimised my carbon footprint
0:52:52 > 0:52:56and I have done a full ecological survey of the school.
0:52:56 > 0:53:01I will present my recommendations to our esteemed leader on the morrow.
0:53:01 > 0:53:02That's a tenner each, wasn't it?
0:53:02 > 0:53:04Looks like your round, Mr Budgen.
0:53:04 > 0:53:09And I'll have... sex on the beach, please.
0:53:09 > 0:53:13- You're a good man, Grantly Budgen. - Er...Chris?
0:53:13 > 0:53:17No, I'm going to get going. I'm not in the mood.
0:53:17 > 0:53:19Ah, c'mon, mate, you'll be back before you know it.
0:53:19 > 0:53:23Shouldn't have got to this. Since when is it a crime to help a kid?
0:53:23 > 0:53:25Well, you did more than help her out.
0:53:25 > 0:53:28To be fair, you did jump in with both feet, mate.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30Sometimes that's the only way.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33Look, I've done it myself in the past.
0:53:33 > 0:53:35But at the end of the day, we're only teachers.
0:53:35 > 0:53:37There's only so much we can do.
0:53:37 > 0:53:39Says who?
0:53:41 > 0:53:43Oh, my God, that's good.
0:53:46 > 0:53:50What? Well, I don't get out much any more.
0:53:57 > 0:53:59Haven't you done enough already today?
0:53:59 > 0:54:01Mrs Fisher's suspended me.
0:54:07 > 0:54:10You know the best advice my dad ever gave me?
0:54:10 > 0:54:12Hmmm?
0:54:12 > 0:54:14Never trust a Tory.
0:54:14 > 0:54:19My mother always said socialism is a road to serfdom.
0:54:19 > 0:54:22Yeah, but my dad knew what he was talking about.
0:54:22 > 0:54:24You do know where you are, don't you?
0:54:24 > 0:54:26- Not on your planet?- No, Rochdale.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29Home of the co-operative movement.
0:54:29 > 0:54:351844. The Rochdale Principles, and my dad lived by those principles.
0:54:35 > 0:54:37I wouldn't expect you to understand.
0:54:37 > 0:54:40Ah, don't give me that working-class chip on your shoulder.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42I'm from Falinge!
0:54:44 > 0:54:47We're from the same side of the road.
0:55:02 > 0:55:04What were you thinking?
0:55:04 > 0:55:06Three hours I was in that police station.
0:55:06 > 0:55:09I have never been so humiliated.
0:55:09 > 0:55:12You didn't have to. Could've told them the drugs were mine.
0:55:12 > 0:55:14And what would that have achieved?
0:55:14 > 0:55:18You'd be in a load more trouble and for what?
0:55:22 > 0:55:24I'm sorry, Scout, it's been a long day.
0:55:25 > 0:55:31I...I did try and tell Darren I wouldn't work for him any more,
0:55:31 > 0:55:32but...
0:55:32 > 0:55:35it's not that easy.
0:55:35 > 0:55:40He got some lads to threaten me, the ones who smashed my bike up.
0:55:40 > 0:55:46I didn't know what else he'd do if I stopped delivering stuff.
0:55:46 > 0:55:47Hey, here you are, c'mon...
0:55:50 > 0:55:55I want to help you but I can only do that if you're honest with me.
0:55:58 > 0:56:02Mrs Fisher wanted to expel you but I talked her out of it.
0:56:02 > 0:56:04I think you're worth something.
0:56:04 > 0:56:07So, from now on, I need to know.
0:56:07 > 0:56:11Something goes wrong, tell someone. Don't deal with it yourself.
0:56:11 > 0:56:15I promise...thank you.
0:56:15 > 0:56:20And I'm sorry you got suspended. I'll talk to Miss Fisher - explain.
0:56:20 > 0:56:23Don't worry about me, I could do with time to think.
0:56:27 > 0:56:29Thank you.
0:56:32 > 0:56:33Tuck in.
0:56:33 > 0:56:39You're sound, you know. Best teacher I've ever had.
0:56:39 > 0:56:42And from now on, it's just school and paper round.
0:56:42 > 0:56:47Which one do you read? I'll make a detour.
0:56:47 > 0:56:52- D'you really think I'd give you my address?- Nah, good point.
0:57:00 > 0:57:03Beer or...beer?
0:57:04 > 0:57:06I don't want a drink.
0:57:19 > 0:57:23Now, you sure you've got enough to get by for a few days?
0:57:23 > 0:57:28- Good. I'll see you next week. - Thanks, sir.
0:57:28 > 0:57:35- Hey, stay out of trouble! - Scout's honour.
0:57:40 > 0:57:43It's a matter of time before Karen finds out I've been helping you.
0:57:43 > 0:57:47- She won't...unless you say something.- Maybe I will.
0:57:47 > 0:57:50You need to go and see a doctor. This isn't right.
0:57:50 > 0:57:52Vick?
0:57:52 > 0:57:54I've lost my baby.
0:57:54 > 0:57:58You're saying your mum left your three-year-old brother in the flat on his own?
0:57:58 > 0:58:01- He must have got out. We've got to find him! He's only three.- Calm down.
0:58:01 > 0:58:03Liam! Liam!
0:58:03 > 0:58:07Stay there! Stay there! Don't move, don't move!
0:58:07 > 0:58:11You're a bully, Eleanor. Why don't you sod off back to school?!
0:58:11 > 0:58:13I know I need to change, I want to change.
0:58:13 > 0:58:19I had one of your staff approach me, a grievance about the way you've been running this place.
0:58:19 > 0:58:22This member of staff.
0:58:22 > 0:58:26It wouldn't happen to be Eleanor Chaudry, would it?
