0:01:54 > 0:01:58No, why should there be? Back on my old stomping ground.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Fantastic.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Have you contacted your dad yet?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06No. Not yet. Been a bit busy.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11You should take a look at these - a bit of a mixed bag, I'm afraid.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Mr Findlay, the head of Havelock High School,
0:02:13 > 0:02:15is accusing us of stealing his pupils
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- and he has been out briefing the press big-time.- Right...
0:02:18 > 0:02:20But, there are some good ones too.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22"Waterloo Road Proves A Hit With Parents." See?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24That's better.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I wanted it spotless, yeah?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Hey!
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Morning, guys.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41THEY LAUGH
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- This old place has scrubbed up well. - Yeah, it's not bad!
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Yeah, I suppose it'll have to do.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47But we have good teachers...
0:02:49 > 0:02:50..largely.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56If there's one reason to make this place work, it's Denzil Kelly.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Weren't we meant to get the results of the inquest by now?
0:03:00 > 0:03:01Yeah, they came in yesterday.
0:03:01 > 0:03:06Just as we thought - the driver of that lorry was TWICE over the limit.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Um, I think I'm going to go over to the School House and let Tariq know.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- OK.- OK.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Here we go.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43What the hell are you doing in that?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I found it, all right?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I didn't know how to tell you...
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Tell me what?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54I want to go Waterloo Road, Drew.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59It's a school. The headmaster sounds brilliant.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Wanting everyone to come, no matter how poor you are.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Don't be stupid, Jade.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12I need to get qualifications.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13But you can't.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Not yet. You know this! They'll be looking for us.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20They'll never find us. I used a false name and address.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23What you saying?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Have you gone and enrolled?
0:04:28 > 0:04:32I went to the local library. They had all the forms there.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Why are you doing this?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- I thought I was enough for you. - We can't go on the run forever, Drew.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Just give it a few more weeks, yeah?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Make sure all this has died down.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I can't. Today's the first day of term.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50How can a stupid school...
0:04:50 > 0:04:51be more important than us?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53I am thinking about us.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57I want to get a job some day! We need to live somewhere decent!
0:05:00 > 0:05:02OK... If you're going to school, me and all.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07You're joking me! You can't! I mean, someone might've seen...
0:05:07 > 0:05:08It's a risk I'll have to take.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I'm not asking you to come with me.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Anyone would think you don't want me there.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- Is that it?- Don't be stupid.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Course I do.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Right. Well, that's settled, then. I'm coming with you.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28OK.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31If you want to come to school, you're not showing me up. Come on!

0:05:50 > 0:05:53We've got kids out there to look after...
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- House Daddy.- Do not call me that!

0:05:57 > 0:05:59I'm winding you up, man!
0:05:59 > 0:06:02You make it so easy for me.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Why did I sign up for this?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Because we need the extra money.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Get yourself in the shower, come on!
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I can't believe I am sharing a house
0:06:12 > 0:06:16with a bunch of feral teenagers from Waterloo Road!

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Good morning, Tariq. Did you sleep OK, pet?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37I can manage.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45I'm full.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- Hope you enjoyed your breakfast, Rhiannon.- Yum, yum.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52You done that on purpose. You know I like them.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- There's plenty of fruit. - You should have the fruit.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Ey! Ey! Ey! What is it with youse two, eh?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02We've only been in this house a couple of days
0:07:02 > 0:07:05and you've been at each other's throats the whole time.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08She's just jealous cos I got a bigger room than her.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11We picked those rooms fair and square, Rhiannon, out of a hat,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13so you better live with it.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Or hand in your key. I'll give you the bus fare back to Rochdale.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- I'm not going back to that foster mum. No way.- I don't like it here.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21You'll have to try, won't you, Harley?
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- I just want to go home. - Hope springs.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Dad wouldn't want us home. We're here whether we like it or not.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28And hope draineth away.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Phoenix, will you go and look after your brother?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35It's just a touch of homesickness.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Join the club.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40There you go!
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Scout? Can I get you a cooked breakfast, love?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Morning, everyone!- Good morning! - ALL:- Morning, Miss.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51I thought I'd pop over, see if I could be of any use.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Fancy giving us a bath?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Ahh! Jeez!
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Under your arms and all!
0:08:04 > 0:08:06You look hot in that uniform, babe.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14You're not finished yet!
0:08:14 > 0:08:16SHE SHRIEKS
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Not finished yet!
0:08:17 > 0:08:19THEY LAUGH
0:08:24 > 0:08:26So we got the results of the inquiry,
0:08:26 > 0:08:28who was responsible for the crash...
0:08:28 > 0:08:31What do I care? Won't change anything for me.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32I'm a crip.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35That is the last time you'll use that word in my hearing.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Do you understand?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39You can do anything that anyone else can do.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Yeah? You want to try taking a slash with no legs.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45You know, there's a canoeing club near here.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50- So?- So you should think about joining up. It'll keep you fit,
0:08:50 > 0:08:53and it'll give you a sense of... freedom, and control.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55You need legs to get in a boat.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58We can find a couple of guys to lift you in. It's...
0:08:58 > 0:08:59HE TUTS
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Rhiannon!
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Grantly!
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Right! Where is it?!
0:09:09 > 0:09:10- What you on about?- You know fine.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- My school uniform!- Saying I nicked your uniform?- Well, somebody has!
0:09:14 > 0:09:17That's a new one on me, nicking a school uniform.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Byrne'll go ape! I've only got these jeans and hoodie.- Not my fault.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21For God's sake!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26What's the bet she's flogged it down the local market?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30She's nicking anything and selling it for skunk. I seen her.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- You're not serious, are you?- Don't tell her I told you. She'd kill me.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- What are we going to do? - Be as of the wise monkeys.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44"See no evil, hear no evil."
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Otherwise this job is going to be 24/7.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51It's supposed to be 24/7. That is what they're paying us for.
0:09:51 > 0:09:57And drugs found in this boarding house could lose us our jobs.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59And no jobs, no wedding.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01And no... Zip it, Grantly,
0:10:01 > 0:10:07because we are not having a "small do" in a registry office.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I remember the first time you did this for me.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18That was when you really got to me.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- I was shaking, man! - Well, don't shake now
0:10:20 > 0:10:24or you'll be wearing bits of toilet paper on your face all day.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I love you, Jade.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29You know that, don't you?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34I know that.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42There's no way I'm going to let you go to this school on your own.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Don't say stuff like that.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48I didn't mean anything by it.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Yeah, but you know what that guy said.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- You need to control yourself. - I know, babe.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56I'm trying, you know?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01But think about it - I mean, this could be good for me, too.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03I could turn my life around.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06You never know...
0:11:07 > 0:11:10..I might grow up to be a brain surgeon.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Get a move on, you've got two minutes.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- Two minutes?- Two minutes.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19SHE SQUEALS AND LAUGHS
0:11:21 > 0:11:23There's still a lot we can do in two minutes!
0:11:23 > 0:11:27So we have got a full school roll!
0:11:27 > 0:11:28- Yes.- Didn't I tell you?
0:11:28 > 0:11:33- Parents round here want better for their children.- Mine didn't.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Mrs Mulgrew!
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Thrilled that you accepted our offer.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I'm so glad you accepted my application, Mr Byrne.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45No, no, your references were outstanding
0:11:45 > 0:11:48and our English Department needs you. You must be Connor.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Mm.- Welcome to Waterloo Road.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Right, well, um...
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Off you go, Connor. See if you can make some new friends.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57What's the point?
0:11:59 > 0:12:03I just want to thank you, Mr Byrne, for taking Connor on.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- He seems like a fine young man to me.- Oh, he is.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10It's, er... He can just be a bit of a stranger to the truth at times.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Mrs Nielson. How are you?
0:12:14 > 0:12:15Don't look so suspicious.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20They might not let you in dressed like that.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22If they don't let me in, it's them who'll be sorry.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Jade! Don't look so worried. I'm joking.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30If things don't work out, we can just pack up and go home. OK?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33No! No, I think I'm going to like it here.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Wish I could be so sure.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46I thought I was giving you a lift this morning.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Wish you did. It was freezing waiting for that bus.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50They said it'd be cold but not flaming Baltic.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Why, what happened?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Mr Byrne wanted me to come in early to sort this lot out.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- Do you know that we've had nearly 300 applications?- Really?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Oh, and forget about that lift home.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Looks like I'm going to be here till midnight.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03That's a... That's a shame.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11I was just wondering if you fancied going to see a movie later?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Are you asking me on a date, Chalk?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16A-A date? No.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21Just a movie. A movie's not a date. It's just...just a movie.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23It's just, I've got our Cheryl.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27But I could ask the childminder to stay a little while. She won't mind.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29So that's a yes, is it?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Well, I'm not paying her extra for nothing, am I?
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Right.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50- Good luck today. - I'll see you after.- OK.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- Audrey McFall. History.- Ah!
0:13:53 > 0:13:56I note a woman of mature years, Audrey.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Tell me, did Michael bring you out of retirement
0:14:00 > 0:14:02for his glorious experiments?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I was about to ask YOU the same question.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06CHALKY CHUCKLES
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Didn't you teach in this building when it was Havelock High School?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Not a happy time.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Dress code, corridor code, code of conduct...
0:14:14 > 0:14:15It's like a military academy.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19You should try teaching somewhere where there are no rules.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21BELL RINGS Assembly time.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Hello there. We've not been introduced.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30I'm Daniel Chalk. Most people call me Chalky.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Hello, Chalky. Nice to meet you. I'm Christine Mulgrew.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36So you from Havelock High as well?
0:14:36 > 0:14:41Er, no, I was teaching in Glasgow before.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45My son and I just fancied a change.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- Let me get that for you. - You sure? Thank you.

0:15:25 > 0:15:26My acceptance letter.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Thank you.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- And you?- My name won't be there.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Cos...her mum forgot to register me here.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39She's a little bit gaga, isn't she, Jade?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42I'm sorry, I'm going to have to ask you to leave the premises.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- We need you to enrol. - Sir, please let him in!
0:15:45 > 0:15:46I've read all about this school.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49You said you'd take any kid, no matter what their background, right?
0:15:49 > 0:15:53- As long as they want to work hard and learn?- Mm-hmm...
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Well, that's me.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- Isn't it, Jade?- Deffo.- I'm sorry.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00We have rules. And you haven't enrolled. Excuse me.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Enrol, enrolled - what's the big difference?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Well, like you said, we're full.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Didn't someone say that to Mary and Baby Jesus?
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Look, there is an alternative school in the area. Have you tried there?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Ah, see, I would, sir. But the headmaster's not up to much.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22I think he's well out of order slagging you off in the papers.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24It's great you've opened Waterloo Road.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Nothing like a bit of competition to raise the standards.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28Thank you for the cabaret.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Surely we can fit in just one more?
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Look, me headmaster, you hands-off sponsor, remember?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41All right, Drew, how does this sound?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Show me what you're capable of
0:16:43 > 0:16:45and we MAY be able to come to some arrangement.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Get yourself up to my secretary's office,

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Nah, it's the gym. Can't you tell?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08The head man says I have to give you my details.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11More details? That's all I need.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Says you have to enrol me.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Like, now.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21I am NOT taking orders off you.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38You're Year 12?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42You got a problem with that?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Got a problem with you, you cheeky git.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49I was held back a year at my old school for being thick.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Like your jumper.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53MUSIC RESUMES
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Welcome, all of you...
0:18:07 > 0:18:09..to Waterloo Road.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:18:16 > 0:18:19This is the first day of our future together
0:18:19 > 0:18:22but before we celebrate that future,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25I think we should remember the past.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Our dear friend, Denzil Kelly...
0:18:28 > 0:18:30..who, as many of you know,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33tragically died in the accident over the summer.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40If we could just take a moment of silence now to remember him.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Waterloo Road is a school IN the community...
0:18:56 > 0:18:57..and FOR the community.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00The only qualification you need to come here
0:19:00 > 0:19:01is that you live in the area
0:19:01 > 0:19:04and you want to learn.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08But this school wouldn't even be here
0:19:08 > 0:19:09without one very important person.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13So let me introduce the woman who's paying for all of this,
0:19:13 > 0:19:16your very own school benefactor -
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Ms Lorraine Donnegan!
0:19:18 > 0:19:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Lorraine Donnegan!
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Where is she?- Hi, guys!
0:19:33 > 0:19:35SHE CHUCKLES
0:19:35 > 0:19:41Don't you all look gorgeous...
0:19:41 > 0:19:43in your new uniforms?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47The reason I set up this school...
0:19:49 > 0:19:50..is to help kids like YOU.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- I'm in.- You're in!
0:19:54 > 0:19:58I set up my first business in this town, and I've done all right.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01And the main reason for that...
0:20:01 > 0:20:04is that headmaster sitting there.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06The best in the country.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:20:09 > 0:20:13HE was the teacher who turned my life around.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17And I know he's going to do the same for you.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21You're in the best hands. So work hard!
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Work VERY hard!
0:20:27 > 0:20:28And make yourselves proud!
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Puts me in mind of the Nuremberg Rallies.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46MUSIC: "WOR" by Django Django
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Right! Inside, please. Single file and no talking.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04She's a bit hatchet-faced, ain't she?
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- You want to try living with her. - You know her?- She's my mum.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- For real?- I said no talking.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15# Side effects have me walking in a daze
0:21:17 > 0:21:20# Then the fallout from this thing just radiates
0:21:20 > 0:21:22# You'll be the first
0:21:22 > 0:21:24# I'll always be the last
0:21:24 > 0:21:28# I'll duck and cover till the threat has passed
0:21:28 > 0:21:31# Make your move now and try to win the game... #
0:21:32 > 0:21:36If you don't know how to spell "belief" at this stage...
0:21:37 > 0:21:40We're going to have an uphill challenge
0:21:40 > 0:21:41getting you to A-level English.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I'm trying my best, Miss.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Maybe you should try a bit harder.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48(My mum's in prison.)
0:21:48 > 0:21:51(I thought SHE was the worst mum in the world.)
0:21:51 > 0:21:53No, it's definitely her.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Walk!
0:21:59 > 0:22:02God, I've got history next! I hate history!
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Really? I love history!
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Oi! That's my blazer. And they're my trousers and all!
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- You must've broke into my room and nicked them!- Leave her!
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- Scout! What's going on? - She stole my uniform. She's a thief.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17That's my badge. I've had it for years! They're my trousers and all.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Get to your classes, you lot, please.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21And you.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23She's with me.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25No, she's not. She's with me.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- My classroom.- Isn't there a rule
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- against teachers taking a girl into a classroom on her own?- And you are?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Drew...Willis.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Mr Clarkson. Deputy Head.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Like I said, get to your class.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- She doesn't fancy you, if you're thinking that.- Shut up!
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- I'm looking after you. - You two! Wait there.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44MUSIC: "Temper" by Breakage
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Sit there.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55You've got a problem. That girl seems scared of you.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Nah. You're crazy.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02She loves me. Ask her!
0:23:06 > 0:23:09I'm going to be watching you.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11You report back here to me at morning break.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Do the same at lunchtime. Do you understand? Follow me.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Where are you taking Jade?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Well, that'll be my little secret.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Come on!
0:23:22 > 0:23:25# Losing your temper... #
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Somehow I'm not surprised to see you again.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I'm really sorry, sir. I didn't break in or anything.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42I just walked through the door. It wasn't locked.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Some burglars smash windows, some walk through open doors.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46Either way, you're still a thief.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Please don't call the police, sir.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55First thing you'll do is give Jodi back her uniform.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- I don't want it now. She's boggy. - Enough!
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Er, maybe Jade should just keep hold of the uniform, Mr Byrne.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04We've got new ones in stock, haven't we?
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Jade,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11I'd like you to apologise to Jodi, please.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13I'm dead sorry, Jodi.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- It's Scout.- Honest to God.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17My mum wouldn't give me any money for a uniform
0:24:17 > 0:24:18and I really wanted to come here.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22It's all right. Those trousers were horrible on me, anyway.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24That's very big of you, Jodi.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Go and collect a new uniform from Ms Croft.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Now, Jade,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32on to your next class, please,
0:24:32 > 0:24:34and I don't want to see you in this office again
0:24:34 > 0:24:37until you're picking up the prize for best pupil. All right?
0:24:37 > 0:24:38Off you go.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45You ever feel you're being lied to?
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Oh, yes. There's something going on between her and another pupil.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Yeah, Drew Willis.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52They're half-brother and sister.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Well, if they are, there's definitely something not right.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01When this school was the old Havelock High,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03they wanted to take history OFF the curriculum.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07But there's so much we can learn about ourselves
0:25:07 > 0:25:09from towering figures of the past -
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Winston Churchill, Robert the Bruce, Henry VIII.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15What can we learn from Henry VIII?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17I beg your pardon, Connor Mulgrew?
0:25:18 > 0:25:21I mean, he married his dead brother's wife,
0:25:21 > 0:25:23got rid of her, married another five
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- and executed two of them. - Wow, you know loads.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30All parents have signed up to our strict rules of classroom behaviour.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34He can do what he wants. His mum's an English teacher in this school.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- Why'd you tell her that? - You two will write me an essay
0:25:36 > 0:25:39on why schools SHOULD teach history.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42500 words.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Yes, Lula?
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Will we also study the history of Africa?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Well, we may not get round to all of it.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Do you have a special area of interest, Lula?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Jade's. No paperwork for him yet.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01It's giving me a "This number is not recognised" message at this address.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04I phoned up the council. The house has been boarded up for months.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Right. Keep an eye on Drew, Tom.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- I've got him reporting to me at morning break.- Good.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15Now, don't forget, it's an equation, so if it doesn't balance at the end,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18you have to start from the beginning again.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19KNOCK ON THE DOOR
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Morning, class.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27ALL: Morning, Mr Byrne.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Thank you. Sit back down, please.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Sorry to interrupt, Mr Chalk.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- I need a quick word with Jade Willis.- Of course.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37And, Drew, what are you doing here? I thought you'd be in Year 13.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39How old are you?
0:26:40 > 0:26:41I'm 16, sir.
0:26:41 > 0:26:4417 next September.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48Jade...
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Er, Jade's being fitted for a new PE kit
0:26:52 > 0:26:55so unless you'd like to try one on...
0:26:55 > 0:26:57CLASS LAUGHS
0:26:57 > 0:26:59I'll be fine, Drew.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Come on.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Now, come on, interruption over.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Back to your favourite subject - equations!
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Jade, I need you to be honest with me.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23This "application"...
0:27:23 > 0:27:24It's all nonsense, isn't it?
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- No, sir, it's...- The address, the phone numbers, you made it all up.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Is there anything in this that's true?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Yes, sir.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40It's true that I really want to come to this school.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43I need to be here.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45And what about Drew?
0:27:45 > 0:27:48You can stop lying, Jade. He's not your brother, is he?
0:27:50 > 0:27:53OK, you can tell me, or I'll call social services
0:27:53 > 0:27:56and you can explain the whole thing to them. Your choice.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01So how about we just start from the beginning?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Move, will you?
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Just cos you can't walk, don't mean you can boss folk about.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- Let go.- Where are you going?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18- To the toilet.- Fine.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Mrs Mulgrew?
0:28:23 > 0:28:27- Yes?- Ms McFall, history.- Oh, hello!
0:28:27 > 0:28:28- Er, your son...- Yes?
0:28:28 > 0:28:32He's bright. Very bright, but there's just a little too much
0:28:32 > 0:28:34playing to the gallery, if you know what I mean?
0:28:34 > 0:28:38After all the warnings I've given him? I really do apologise.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42Well, it's not that bad. But I just thought I'd mention it.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54You looking for someone?
0:28:54 > 0:28:57A pain in the backside called Drew Willis.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01And here's me thinking this school was going to be a nice, easy ride.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Thanks, but I can manage.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08I wouldn't be here today if I hadn't let people help me.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11You don't know what it's like having everyone take the piss out you.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Yeah, really? I heard you had a nickname for me
0:29:14 > 0:29:17when I was in the psychiatric ward. The Mentalist?
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- Maybe you heard wrong.- Really?
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Oi! What're you doing?
0:29:36 > 0:29:39It's not that bad. Gets a bit cold at night, though.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45How long have you been living like this?
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Only a week or two.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Maybe a couple of months?
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Look, I had nowhere else to go.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Drew came with me because I was scared on my own.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04We love each other.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11- Your mother has to know you're safe. - She doesn't care about me.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Why else do you think she hasn't reported me missing?
0:30:13 > 0:30:17- How do I know that she hasn't? - She couldn't care less about me.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Jade, you need to come on back to school, OK?
0:30:19 > 0:30:22I mean, look at this place!
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Why do you think you're so...
0:30:24 > 0:30:26run down?
0:30:26 > 0:30:30And I'll need you to get checked out by the school nurse,
0:30:30 > 0:30:32you and Drew both. So collect up all your things
0:30:32 > 0:30:35because you're not staying here another night.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37SHE SIGHS
0:30:40 > 0:30:43- Where's Jade?- Don't shout at me, pal. I don't know where she is.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46- I want to know where she is!- Hey, what do you think you're doing?
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- The headmaster's got Jade. Where's he taken her?- None of your business.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52She is my business. She's my girlfriend!
0:30:52 > 0:30:54So you say.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Why? What's Jade said?
0:30:59 > 0:31:03- I asked you a question! - She's not your property, pal.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04What are you trying to do to us, eh?
0:31:04 > 0:31:08- You trying to split us up or something?- Now you're being stupid.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Someone's going to get their face punched!
0:31:10 > 0:31:12OK, you have got two options. One -
0:31:12 > 0:31:16you are coming down the cooler with me, where you will calm down
0:31:16 > 0:31:18or two - you're going out of that door for good.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Yeah, you'd like that, wouldn't you?
0:31:25 > 0:31:29HE PANTS
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Mum!
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Where are you going?
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Scout! There's that girl that stole your uniform.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- Oh, aye? Fancy her or summat, do you?- What?
0:31:48 > 0:31:53- No. It's just...- Look, Phoenix, I'm not trying to be cheeky, but...
0:32:00 > 0:32:02The bin's on fire!
0:32:02 > 0:32:03Sir, there's a fire! Sir!
0:32:05 > 0:32:09Stand back, don't get close to the bin!
0:32:09 > 0:32:11- Fire extinguisher? - Tom's gone to get one.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15- How did this happen?- There is such a thing as spontaneous combustion.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Thanks, Tom. Thank God we banned mobile phones.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20This would be all over YouTube! We need to find the culprit!
0:32:20 > 0:32:23- Maybe the headmaster from Havelock High.- Get back to your breaks.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25You all right with this?
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Jade?
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Er, Michael?
0:32:29 > 0:32:31We need to fill you in about the boyfriend.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44We'll have to find them both rooms in the School House for tonight.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46That's not a good idea.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48They need to be kept apart.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Like I said, Drew acts like he owns her.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53We're going to have to contact social services anyway,
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- so I'll get Drew's file.- That'll be a work of total fiction as well.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Come on, you. With me.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Jade,
0:33:06 > 0:33:09can you remember when you had your last period?
0:33:09 > 0:33:14I'm not really sure. My life's been upside-down for months.
0:33:14 > 0:33:15Do you know you're pregnant?
0:33:21 > 0:33:24I need to know why you were both sleeping in a derelict house.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Jade's given me her story.
0:33:30 > 0:33:31What did she say?
0:33:31 > 0:33:35Never you mind what she said. I want to hear your version.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42We're both over 16, we can do what we want.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45No, not when you're in my school, you can't. I have a duty of care.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Do your parents know you've been sleeping rough?
0:33:50 > 0:33:53My mum's off the planet.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56They took her to an institution. I couldn't pay the rent. So...
0:34:00 > 0:34:02So you don't have any other relatives?
0:34:02 > 0:34:05No friends who could give you a couch to sleep on?
0:34:10 > 0:34:13I'm just Billy No-Mates, aren't I?
0:34:16 > 0:34:17Right.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21We need to get you checked out.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- Checked out?- Yes!
0:34:24 > 0:34:27You could have caught anything sleeping in that dump.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40How long have you known?
0:34:40 > 0:34:44I dunno. I was just praying that it wasn't for real.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46But I've missed three now.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49- And do you know who the father is? - Of course I do. I'm not a tart.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- You'd better tell him. - You can't tell anyone about this.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53This is my private business.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54KNOCK ON THE DOOR
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Come in.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Everything all right, nurse?
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Er, yes. Everything's fine.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10Jade, go to the dining room, get yourself something to eat, please.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16We're going to offer Jade a room in our School House
0:35:16 > 0:35:20and try to find some foster accommodation for you.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Split us up? No way.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26I'm not banning you from seeing each other.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Cos I'm not going to let you.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Can I get that and all?
0:35:36 > 0:35:40To be honest, I shouldn't be giving you anything to eat.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- That was a pack of lies you told me about Scout, wasn't it?- Eh?
0:35:43 > 0:35:46There wasn't even a hint of any drugs in her room.
0:35:46 > 0:35:47How do you know?
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Never you mind how I know.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53You two are going to have to try and get on.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00MUSIC: "The Keeper" by Bonobo
0:36:07 > 0:36:09They're trying to split us up, Jade.
0:36:09 > 0:36:10Huh? What're you talking about?
0:36:10 > 0:36:14That headmaster says he's going to get you a room in the School House.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17- Don't look like you're happy about it!- I dunno, Drew.
0:36:17 > 0:36:18If it's just till we get sorted...
0:36:18 > 0:36:21I've got something I need to tell you.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24If they call social services, I'm going to get found out.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26No, you won't. Listen to me, Drew...
0:36:26 > 0:36:28We have to make a run for it.
0:36:28 > 0:36:29Now.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31I can't.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36- If I say we make a run for it, we make a run for it, OK?- Oi! Off her!
0:36:36 > 0:36:40- Please, Drew! Stop it, Drew. I'm not coming with you.- Hey!
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Jade, tell me where it hurts.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Jade! Come on, get up.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47I can't. I'm carrying our baby.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50I can't do this anymore.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- Call an ambulance.- OK. Maggie?
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Get off me! Get off me!
0:36:55 > 0:36:59Get off me! Jade...
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Everyone sit back down, please, nothing to see. Finish your lunch.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Jade, are you OK?
0:37:04 > 0:37:06You're going to be OK. You're going to be fine.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09You'll be fine cos I'm going to stay with you, OK?
0:37:09 > 0:37:12I'm going to stay with you, I'm going to be with you all the way.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14You've got nothing to worry about, OK?
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Drew, you stay here. Thank you.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- Get out of my way! - Calm yourself down.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23# My heart's content
0:37:23 > 0:37:25# I say that to please her
0:37:25 > 0:37:29# Happiness is on a face, It's not mine that greets her... #
0:37:29 > 0:37:31CHILDREN SCREAM
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Whoa, whoa, whoa! OK, OK,
0:37:33 > 0:37:35don't be stupid, son, don't be stupid.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39Anyone comes near me, they'll get it!
0:37:39 > 0:37:40Drew, we can help you.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44# Sat down here with my head hung down and I just seem to find
0:37:44 > 0:37:46# A bit of peace, bit of love
0:37:46 > 0:37:49# Bit of something left behind... #
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Quick, Tom!
0:37:52 > 0:37:56SIREN WAILS
0:37:58 > 0:37:59Jade!
0:38:03 > 0:38:05JADE!
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Right, I think it's time we called the police.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10Yeah.
0:38:12 > 0:38:13This really is Waterloo Road.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Real name is Drew Kelly.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20He and Jade Fleming ran away from their care home
0:38:20 > 0:38:23in Hackney three months ago.
0:38:23 > 0:38:24You had a lucky escape, sir.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28Last person tried to separate those two got his lung punctured.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29Bloody hell.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33She'll need police protection.
0:38:37 > 0:38:38How cool is that?
0:38:38 > 0:38:42He's one of the fastest runners in the world, he's got no legs!
0:38:47 > 0:38:50You could beat us all in that thing!
0:39:07 > 0:39:09- Grantly!- Christine!
0:39:09 > 0:39:12A friendly visit. Didn't see you at lunch.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15No, I had to nip out, er...
0:39:15 > 0:39:18unexpectedly.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Was there something...?
0:39:21 > 0:39:25A tradition with the Waterloo Road staff,
0:39:25 > 0:39:28to repair to the local hostelry after a hard day's work
0:39:28 > 0:39:30for a light libation.
0:39:30 > 0:39:35Well, you need something to lift your spirits, don't you, Grantly?
0:39:35 > 0:39:40Hm. I see it as a reward for a job no sane person would willingly do.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42It's so good to know you have a sense of fun.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44You know, the teachers at my last school
0:39:44 > 0:39:47were a bunch of miserable sods.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50So I trust, The Bannockburn Arms? Four o'clock?
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Looking forward to getting to know everyone.
0:39:53 > 0:39:54HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Oh, my God! How embarrassing!
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Hm. Small malfunction in the wardrobe department.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Yeah, that's, um...
0:40:03 > 0:40:05That's never happened to me before.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09So, the Bannockburn Arms, then, at, er...four.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:40:58 > 0:41:01MUFFLED VOICES ON POLICE RADIO
0:41:15 > 0:41:16You OK?
0:41:19 > 0:41:21You're having our baby.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30It's mad, innit?
0:41:30 > 0:41:33I mean, in a good way.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37The doctor's coming any minute.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41I think I'm all right, though.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44We both are.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49You can't stay here, Jade.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51It'll be all over for us.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53There's more than just us now, Drew.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58We can't go on the run with a baby.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00What are you saying? We have to.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04I need to stay at the School House.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11For our baby's sake.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22I told you not to go to that school.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26But you didn't listen.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29HIS BREATH SHAKES
0:42:53 > 0:42:55I'm going back to Scout's tonight
0:42:55 > 0:43:00because one of your staffroom mates gave us punishment exercises to do.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Well, you must have deserved it.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05So what time will you be back?
0:43:05 > 0:43:07- Dunno.- Just don't be late, Connor.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09I'll see you at home. I've got a few things to do.
0:43:09 > 0:43:13I hope Scout can keep you out of mischief.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17- Maybe I'm wrong about your mum. She seemed dead nice then.- Hm.
0:43:20 > 0:43:21Good night, Mr Clarkson.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24Ms McFall.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27There's a few of us heading to the pub if you fancy it?
0:43:27 > 0:43:28Oh, you betcha.
0:43:28 > 0:43:32We all need a stiff drink after that first day. I'm buying.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35Great!
0:43:35 > 0:43:39So I'll pick you up about seven? We'll get a big bag of popcorn!
0:43:39 > 0:43:41I hate it when people munch through them things!
0:43:41 > 0:43:42Box of chocolates, then?
0:43:42 > 0:43:47You go to a movie to watch and listen, not to stuff your face.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49How about we go for food after?
0:43:49 > 0:43:53A nice meal? You can afford it, can't you?
0:43:53 > 0:43:55Happy with that, Janeece. More than happy.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01"Everyone needs to know where they've come from
0:44:01 > 0:44:03"because they need to know where they're going.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05"A deeper study of history
0:44:05 > 0:44:08"will help analyse current events, individuals and places,
0:44:08 > 0:44:12"therefore it is essential in every school curriculum."
0:44:12 > 0:44:15- Job done.- What are you going to write for yours?
0:44:15 > 0:44:17I'll think of something.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20- Do you fancy her or something? - Don't be daft.
0:44:20 > 0:44:23Well, good. Cos me and Scout are together, all right?
0:44:23 > 0:44:25No, we're not, Phoenix. Maybe we were in England.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28- Things are different now. - Don't think anyone wants us!
0:44:28 > 0:44:31OK, everybody, grub's up!
0:44:31 > 0:44:33Me and all?
0:44:33 > 0:44:35Well, yes. There's plenty for everyone.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37Don't look so shocked!
0:44:37 > 0:44:40It's just that I'm not allowed folk back to my house.
0:44:59 > 0:45:02METALLIC SCRAPING
0:45:07 > 0:45:09Now what good's that thing going to do?
0:45:12 > 0:45:14This school...
0:45:14 > 0:45:17has ruined everything.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19You've taken Jade away from me.
0:45:19 > 0:45:21Drew...
0:45:23 > 0:45:26..what you do right now
0:45:26 > 0:45:29is going to determine the rest of your life.
0:45:29 > 0:45:31I don't have a life any more! Don't you get that?!
0:45:36 > 0:45:41Jade's going to be a mother. That's what's changed everything.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47We know about the stabbing at the care home.
0:45:51 > 0:45:52Yeah, we know about it.
0:45:54 > 0:45:57So if you really want a chance of seeing Jade and your baby...
0:45:58 > 0:46:01..there's only really one thing you can do, isn't there?
0:46:01 > 0:46:04No, I can't.
0:46:04 > 0:46:05You hand yourself to the police,
0:46:05 > 0:46:09there's every chance they'll cut down that sentence.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12You'll have time to get out and really make something of your life.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15That's why they took Jade away from you.
0:46:19 > 0:46:22It just became unhealthy, Drew. Your parents abandoned you.
0:46:24 > 0:46:29The judge will take into account any mental health issues...
0:46:34 > 0:46:37MUSIC DROWNS OUT WORDS
0:46:41 > 0:46:43Argh!
0:46:43 > 0:46:45DREW SOBS
0:46:45 > 0:46:48All right, you need help, son.
0:46:48 > 0:46:50OK? You just need help...
0:46:50 > 0:46:53DREW CONTINUES SOBBING
0:46:59 > 0:47:01Well, if today isn't a slap in the face
0:47:01 > 0:47:05for our zero-tolerance smug headmaster, I don't know what is.
0:47:05 > 0:47:06I think Michael Byrne is brilliant.
0:47:06 > 0:47:09Ooh! Has everyone got that from Miss McFall?
0:47:09 > 0:47:12If she hears anyone call Mr Byrne smug,
0:47:12 > 0:47:14she'll give us all lines!
0:47:14 > 0:47:18- My shout, I think. - Tom, while you're up there...
0:47:18 > 0:47:20Is it me or are these bottles getting smaller?
0:47:20 > 0:47:24- Hey, Chalky, you ready?- Yeah, don't want to miss the trailers, do we?
0:47:30 > 0:47:32Surely not?
0:47:32 > 0:47:35I am usually of the opinion there is nothing new in the world.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37I've just been proved wrong.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41A little wager on the end result?
0:47:41 > 0:47:44- Give them a chance, Grantly. - Now, believe me -
0:47:44 > 0:47:48that is a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions waiting to happen!

0:48:10 > 0:48:11I've told her I'm sorry.
0:48:11 > 0:48:14I'd do anything for her. I love her.
0:48:14 > 0:48:17Well, well done for writing this.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19You'd better look after her.
0:48:19 > 0:48:22What's happened?
0:48:22 > 0:48:24I've been a bad boy, Miss.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26Thanks for giving me a chance.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28See you later.
0:48:31 > 0:48:34He's been on the run from the police for months.
0:48:34 > 0:48:37He stabbed a worker at his care home.
0:48:37 > 0:48:40Well, if I ever needed a lesson in butting out...
0:48:40 > 0:48:43You might have to brace yourself for the headlines tomorrow.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46OK, look. I'm not taking no for an answer.
0:48:46 > 0:48:50Us three are going for a nice meal on me. My favourite restaurant.
0:48:55 > 0:48:58Tom? You doing anything at the moment?
0:49:01 > 0:49:05Well, it's a delicate one, but I think you're the man for the job.
0:49:07 > 0:49:10THEY LAUGH DRUNKENLY
0:49:11 > 0:49:15- Hrrgh!- What're you doing? You are...

0:49:37 > 0:49:38Hi, Mum. I'm just leaving.
0:49:38 > 0:49:40Were you?
0:49:40 > 0:49:43Why don't you... (stay and have another?)
0:49:43 > 0:49:44What a good idea.
0:49:44 > 0:49:48- No, Mum. We've got to go. - You're such a spoilsport, Connor.
0:49:48 > 0:49:52- Come on, Mum.- All right, little goody-two-shoes.
0:49:52 > 0:49:54- Whoops!- You all right, Mum?
0:49:54 > 0:49:57- HE LAUGHS - Er...
0:50:01 > 0:50:03Where are you going?
0:50:03 > 0:50:05I've left the car at the pub.
0:50:05 > 0:50:07You are not driving in that state.

0:51:11 > 0:51:15talking course work and lesson plans...
0:51:17 > 0:51:22Grantly Budgen, you don't look like you can string two words together
0:51:22 > 0:51:25let alone discuss lesson plans,
0:51:25 > 0:51:27especially with HER.
0:51:27 > 0:51:29I'm sone cold stober.
0:51:29 > 0:51:32Yeah, well, you will be when I hoy this at you.
0:51:32 > 0:51:34Oh, Maggie, don't be like that.
0:51:34 > 0:51:37Just joining in with my new work colleagues.
0:51:39 > 0:51:43Who'd've thought they could drink me un...under the table? Hmm?
0:51:43 > 0:51:48Yes, well, the next time that you decide to go to the pub
0:51:48 > 0:51:52to chat work, I'll be joining you.
0:51:52 > 0:51:54Somebody's stole my brother's photo. And I know who.
0:51:54 > 0:51:57What are you laughing about, Raspberry Face?
0:51:57 > 0:52:00Hang on, don't upset yourself, we'll get it sorted.
0:52:00 > 0:52:03You better - or Rhiannon Salt's going to get murdered!

0:52:32 > 0:52:34Bunty, come here! Come here!
0:52:34 > 0:52:36How good was that, eh?
0:52:36 > 0:52:39To be honest, I could sit through the whole thing again.
0:52:39 > 0:52:43Probably cos the company was so good.
0:52:43 > 0:52:47Had enough of them. I'm trying to watch my figure, aren't I?
0:52:48 > 0:52:49Why? You're lovely!
0:52:51 > 0:52:53'Spose we should be getting back.
0:52:55 > 0:52:58Look, I've got a bottle of red wine...
0:52:58 > 0:52:59I hate red wine.
0:52:59 > 0:53:01White?
0:53:04 > 0:53:08Listen. If we're out, then we're out.
0:53:08 > 0:53:12There's no way I'm going home to see Cheryl bawling her head off.
0:53:19 > 0:53:21I'm not sure about this, Janeece...
0:53:23 > 0:53:26Janeece? Janeece!
0:53:26 > 0:53:28Michael. The school curriculum...
0:53:28 > 0:53:29Mm-hm?
0:53:29 > 0:53:34It's a bit...snooty, isn't it?
0:53:34 > 0:53:39Well, I think "elite" might be the word you're looking for.
0:53:39 > 0:53:42I was thinking more along the lines of...
0:53:42 > 0:53:43"bollocks".
0:53:43 > 0:53:45Like you said, I'm not running the school,
0:53:45 > 0:53:47but I do have an interest in helping the kids
0:53:47 > 0:53:49learn things that'll be useful to them.
0:53:49 > 0:53:53So I thought I'd get the ball rolling with this.
0:53:54 > 0:53:55It's a design competition.
0:53:55 > 0:53:58And the winner takes £5,000.
0:53:58 > 0:54:00No, not going to happen.
0:54:00 > 0:54:02Michael, listen, once the parents hear
0:54:02 > 0:54:04their kid could be up for winning five grand,
0:54:04 > 0:54:06they'll come flocking even more.
0:54:06 > 0:54:09We don't need any more pupils, Lorraine.
0:54:09 > 0:54:12Did I mention the bench was for Denzil's peace garden?
0:54:14 > 0:54:16Right, fine, but only if the money
0:54:16 > 0:54:18contributes towards their university fees.
0:54:18 > 0:54:20You are such a spoilsport.
0:54:20 > 0:54:23There's nothing wrong with kids competing for financial reward.
0:54:23 > 0:54:27- There is if it disrupts their academic goals.- Come on. We are supposed to be celebrating.
0:54:27 > 0:54:31Who'd have thought we'd ever have parents queueing up to get their kids into Waterloo Road?
0:54:31 > 0:54:33Me, for one.
0:54:33 > 0:54:35Well, as least we know the worst day of the year is over.
0:54:35 > 0:54:37- Cheers. - GLASSES CLINK
0:54:37 > 0:54:38Ah!
0:54:38 > 0:54:42I thought it was you lot - the carpetbaggers.
0:54:42 > 0:54:44Here they are, folks,
0:54:44 > 0:54:48the hoi polloi celebrating destroying your local school.
0:54:49 > 0:54:50You're Byrne, I take it?
0:54:50 > 0:54:52Yes, and who the hell are you?
0:54:52 > 0:54:54Your rival.
0:54:54 > 0:54:57He's the Head of Havelock High. And he's a moron.
0:54:57 > 0:55:00We'd like to dine in peace, if you don't mind.
0:55:00 > 0:55:01Oh, yes, yes, yes, of course!
0:55:01 > 0:55:03And why don't you clink your glasses
0:55:03 > 0:55:06to the four members of my staff I let go this week?
0:55:06 > 0:55:09- Yeah - ask yourself why. - Because you told them a lie.
0:55:09 > 0:55:12That you need private money to give kids a good education.
0:55:12 > 0:55:16No, excuse me, not one child is paying to go to Waterloo Road,
0:55:16 > 0:55:18and I wouldn't be there if they were.
0:55:18 > 0:55:21Watch your back, Byrne. I'm coming after you.
0:55:21 > 0:55:25I mean it. Watch your back.
0:55:26 > 0:55:27You've been warned.
0:55:41 > 0:55:43Mr Clarkson.
0:55:43 > 0:55:46Hey, Jade. Thought I'd pop in, see how you are.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48I didn't expect a visit.
0:55:48 > 0:55:51I got you some bits and pieces from everyone at Waterloo Road.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54Thank you. Thank you so much!
0:55:56 > 0:55:59We know all about you, Jade Fleming.
0:56:00 > 0:56:02How you were in care with Drew and what he did.
0:56:04 > 0:56:06He didn't mean to do it.
0:56:06 > 0:56:09I love Drew, but I thought I might be pregnant -
0:56:09 > 0:56:11and I knew everything had to change.
0:56:11 > 0:56:13It's why I enrolled.
0:56:14 > 0:56:17I know, well, you made the right decision.
0:56:17 > 0:56:20You've got to think about yourself now, and your baby.
0:56:23 > 0:56:26And we'll be there for you both back at the school. OK?
0:56:28 > 0:56:30You might want to read this.
0:56:39 > 0:56:41'Beautiful Jade.
0:56:41 > 0:56:44'Please forgive me for breaking my promise to you again.
0:56:44 > 0:56:48'This time, I'm going to get the help I need.
0:56:48 > 0:56:51'And who knows? When I'm better, maybe we can meet up again -
0:56:51 > 0:56:54'you, me and our baby.
0:56:56 > 0:56:58'I love you and you know I'd do anything for you.
0:57:00 > 0:57:04'Good luck at Waterloo Road, I know you'll do brilliant.'
0:57:13 > 0:57:18CAR ALARM BLARES Oi! You lot! Get back here!
0:57:18 > 0:57:19Havelock...
0:57:21 > 0:57:24HE SPEAKS IN FRENCH
0:57:24 > 0:57:29I see what you are. The pastor knows what you are.
0:57:29 > 0:57:31Three bottles you had last night!
0:57:31 > 0:57:34I never thought I'd say this, but you're getting boring.
0:57:34 > 0:57:38- I reckon you had some sort of out-of-body experience. - I said, leave me alone!
0:57:38 > 0:57:41- Lula! Lula what do you...? - Don't touch me!
0:57:41 > 0:57:44Let's talk about the motifs Fitzgerald employs in Gatsby.
0:57:44 > 0:57:47Wasn't Fitzgerald an alcoholic?
0:57:47 > 0:57:50Why are we listening to a bunch of drunks?
0:57:50 > 0:57:55Must be strange being back - all those ghosts waiting for you.
0:57:55 > 0:57:56Oh, I don't believe in ghosts.
0:57:56 > 0:57:59- Let's hope this pastor's as good as your uncle says he is- No!
0:57:59 > 0:58:01SHE SOBS
0:58:01 > 0:58:03You have to stop them!
