0:00:02 > 0:00:03If there's anything you want to tell me...
0:00:03 > 0:00:05You want to get back with her, don't you?
0:00:05 > 0:00:08How are you going to do that without telling her the truth?
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Ah, you've spotted Miss Donnegan's car, have you?
0:00:10 > 0:00:12That won't be parked there much longer.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Right, I'll just nab it, then, shall I?
0:00:14 > 0:00:15Where's my car?
0:00:17 > 0:00:20I don't want anything more to do with you.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25A Dictaphone.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28You just push this button here and it'll record all your lessons.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Thanks, sir.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57CHRISTINE: 'They will lock you up, Connor.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01'You want to get back with her, don't you?
0:01:03 > 0:01:05'And what do you think she's going to say?
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- IMOGEN:- 'I don't want anything more to do with you.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11'They will lock you up, Connor.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14'They will, they will lock you up, Connor.'
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Morning.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Morning.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25I'm told it's an acquired taste.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Told by who, Dr Jekyll?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Ms McFall.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33It's her recipe. She claims it's the secret of her inner vitality.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35And why do I get dragged into it?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Because you look like you could use it.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Come on, Connor, talk to me.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Don't go all Oprah on me.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Hey.
0:01:50 > 0:01:5390 days sober today.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55You've done great.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57A lot of it's down to you.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Come on, get dressed.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13You're driving.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Do you want some orange juice? Vitamin C, get it down you.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Aaargh!
0:02:29 > 0:02:32What's this lot, then?
0:02:32 > 0:02:36'This is Miss Boston. What's this I hear about you breathing without my permission, Jodie?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38'You're a very, very naughty girl.'
0:02:40 > 0:02:41I were only having a laugh.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44You idiot, Boston is going to kill me.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46You've recorded all over yesterday's lessons.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49I wanted to play them back before school.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53We're in the PRU. We don't need to prepare, we just need to stay awake.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54How's this going to help?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57I don't get everything what people say to me first time.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Pardon?
0:02:59 > 0:03:00I said, I don't...
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Oh, just get lost, will you?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Careful, the baby'll pick up bad vibes.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Hello, the baby's fine.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Right, you lot, off you go, come on.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I'll help you, I've got all the notes.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Cheers.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Nice driving. Jensen(!)
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Come on, Dynasty. Mum says we need to go and see Dad as a family.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38You make it sound like Legoland.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- It's not Mum you need to worry about. - Why should I worry about you, eh?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- You'll be sharing a cell with him soon enough.- Watch your mouth.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Look at you! Daddy's mini-me.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Stop it, Dynasty.- You say one more thing and I swear....
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Get off me!
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Hey, cut it out.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55You're late. Get yourselves to the PRU now.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Go on.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Divide and conquer?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- Yeah, maybe. You OK with this?- Yeah.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Barry, cut it out. Come on, come with me.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- That's it, go and join the other brain-deads.- Barry!
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Dynasty, come on.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16You too, Kacey, or no football at lunchtime.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18You want to dance, or something?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Leave him with me. Come on, Barry.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Come on, you're late.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Audrey, thank you so much for your delicious drink.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41We couldn't get enough of it, could we, Connor?
0:04:41 > 0:04:42No.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Quite the double act, aren't we?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Dynasty, wait, hold on!
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Dynasty, seriously, it's not worth bothering about.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Connor, are you OK?
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Yeah, sure. Why wouldn't I be?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Well, you seem very up.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Not up, Audrey, happy.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I know that's a crime in your book
0:05:04 > 0:05:06but some of us have to count our blessings.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12There you are. The network's on the blink again.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Would you be a love?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16See you, then, Danny boy.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19I've told you it's Mr Chalk on school property.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Just the man. Here, take this, give us a hand. Over here.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Right.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31This is what I want Waterloo Road to be all about.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34It's cross-curricular. It's technological.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36It's cutting edge.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37What planet are you on?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Who's got time for that on top of their day job?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I don't want a party political broadcast. I just want to know
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- you'll enter on behalf of the school.- I don't have time.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53For the first time since we came here, everything's on an even keel.
0:05:54 > 0:06:00If I could just get Connor to perk up a bit, my life would be complete.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Hey, Chrissie. They said I could wait for you here.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11So you did it? Good for you.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14You always had your heart set on becoming a teacher.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Why are you here?
0:06:28 > 0:06:32The only way I could trace you was via this place.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35This is where I work. You've got no business being here.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39I'm sorry.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Leave. Now. Please.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45I know this is a shock for you but I wouldn't be here
0:06:45 > 0:06:48if it wasn't important. I need to talk to you.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50No, I-I-I've got a class.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54This isn't easy for me either but there's something I have to discuss.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56You walked out on me when I was pregnant with our child.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58There is nothing to discuss.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Our child?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Yes, our child.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Five minutes and then I'll go.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07I need your help.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Please.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13I don't want you hanging around here.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21Meet me in this place, in town.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Lunchtime.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- What, that's ages...- Lunchtime.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- Look, Audrey, everything's fine. - Rubbish, who was that man?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- My husband.- Husband?
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Ex-husband.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I see.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48No, you don't.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51But now you've got yourself a nice little exclusive, do me a favour
0:07:51 > 0:07:53and keep it to yourself. Connor cannot find out he's here.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I won't say a word but don't shut me out.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57I am here to help, remember.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Our...
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Our kids are so far ahead of the game that their teachers can
0:08:02 > 0:08:05spend half their classes hanging around in corridors, can they?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I'm on my way.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08I've sat them down.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11They're probably halfway through Great Expectations by now.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Hello. Excuse me, the network's down.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33May I?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40You the new IT guy?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42I'm an IT guy.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44I'm actually here to see someone.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Hey!
0:08:47 > 0:08:48That's the first one fixed.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Look, I've got a lot of time to kill
0:08:50 > 0:08:52so if you want me to give you a hand.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Great. Daniel.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Joe.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59So where do you want to start?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Let's start at the top. Head teacher's office?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11I mean, I already run after-school tutoring groups.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Now they want me to drop everything and build a robot.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Yeah, well, kids can be demanding.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19I'm wasn't talking about the kids. I'm talking about the boss.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23I'll start at the common room, you finish up here then do Sonya.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Daniel.- Mr Byrne.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- What's going on here? - Oh, Mr Byrne, this is...
0:09:29 > 0:09:31You've now got access to your database
0:09:31 > 0:09:33while the network's being fixed.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Thanks.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36You're not the usual IT guy.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38No, I'm Joe Mulgrew, Christine's husband.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42I thought you were out of the country?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Joe's just helping out.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46If that's OK with you?
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Yeah, I suppose.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50That's fantastic news. Yeah, I'll be over.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52All right. They've found my baby.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Where did they find her?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56In a packing crate on the docks.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Oh, in case you're worried, it's her car she's talking about.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Police are on their way over now.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Lorraine, won't that alarm the pupils?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I hope so. Might put a stop to the crimewave
0:10:06 > 0:10:09you've helped introduce to the school.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19INDISTINCT BACKGROUND CHATTER
0:10:32 > 0:10:33Quiet!
0:10:39 > 0:10:43We think that Miss Havisham was jilted at the altar...
0:10:43 > 0:10:45because she's in the same house.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49She's wearing the same dress, like she's frozen in time.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- DYNASTY:- And what if this guy that she's so mad about came back?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55He's just going to find some wrinkled old nut job.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- IMOGEN:- Then there's her child, brought up to have a heart of ice.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Mum? Mum, what's wrong?
0:11:10 > 0:11:11BELL RINGS
0:11:18 > 0:11:21What's happened to Christine? She's done a runner.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23I've had to cover her class again.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I don't know, but I'll take care of it.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28You do that. Then I want an explanation.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Where's your mother?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33She left mid-sentence.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Can I use your phone?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20PHONE RINGS
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Now, listen, Audrey...
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Mum.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Connor?
0:12:39 > 0:12:40'Where are you?'
0:12:44 > 0:12:46I just needed to get a bit of air.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52I blame Audrey and that stupid potion of hers.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Do you want me to come and meet you?
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Look, come back. I'm worried about you.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02'Whatever it is.'
0:13:04 > 0:13:07You are not using me as an excuse to skip classes, young man.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Mum, let me know when you're back. I'll be in the library.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30So, to summarise, for your homework assignment,
0:13:30 > 0:13:34you take two poems you want to compare, use the York...
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Do you know this off by heart?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Maybe you'd like to come up here?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43No, no, I don't. I...
0:13:46 > 0:13:48I'll have that.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55'This is Miss Boston. What's this I hear about you breathing
0:13:55 > 0:13:59'without my permission, Jodie? You're a very, very naughty girl.'
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Detention.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04You've got it all wrong, miss.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05Bang to rights, I'd say.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07It's not mine, I borrowed it.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Off the back of a lorry?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12The sooner you start playing by my rules, the better.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Say hello to Joe, everyone.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Hello, Joe.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29He is the hero that got your computers working today.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Now, open your spreadsheets from last week.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Can we do something on AI?
0:14:33 > 0:14:34What do you mean?
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Artificial intelligence.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38I know what it means. What has it got to do with the curriculum?
0:14:38 > 0:14:41The robot competition. I think it'll be good for the school.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42We're not doing it.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45We haven't got the time or the resources, is that clear?
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Yes, Mr Chalk, sir.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Here you go, this one's ready.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Right, come on, everyone, let's get cracking.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27You come with me.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Mum?
0:15:47 > 0:15:48In here.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51So that's the boy, then?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55His name is Connor.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56Why are you still here?
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- I told you, I needed...- To talk. So talk and then you can go.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03My dad's dead.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08He always liked you.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16And I guess that's why he never changed his will after we separated.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21It's clearly on oversight
0:16:21 > 0:16:24so just need your signature to relinquish your claim.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32If I could buy you out, I would, right?
0:16:34 > 0:16:35You always hated the place.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43I'm in a relationship.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45We're expecting a kid, and this would be a new start.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52You left me...
0:16:54 > 0:16:57..to raise our son alone.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00This is for him.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05You're still trying to make out that boy's mine?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08We were barely sleeping together. He can't...
0:17:08 > 0:17:10No, no, no. That is just what you told yourself
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- to make it easier to leave. - I don't believe this.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Why would I still be lying after all this time?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19I don't know, I just thought...
0:17:19 > 0:17:21There was never anyone else.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29So you're saying that boy is definitely mine?
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Yep.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Does he know about me?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Every birthday and Christmas I send him a card from you.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Why?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Because I didn't want him having a coward as a dad -
0:17:49 > 0:17:52someone who ran out on him before he was even born.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57You left us without a penny.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I'm not going to let you do it again.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Then I want to see my boy.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09I have to make things right.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13But what will you even say to him?
0:18:13 > 0:18:14I don't know.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16I told him you were a paramedic.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Well, you always wanted to go off and make a difference, didn't you?
0:18:23 > 0:18:27So that's what he thinks you've been doing all these years.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38If you ever want to get those papers signed...
0:18:40 > 0:18:42..don't disappoint him.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Just wait outside and I'll...
0:18:50 > 0:18:52I'll tell him you're here.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01MUSIC: "Who Is The Hunter" by Liars

0:19:33 > 0:19:37# I only wanted more... #
0:19:37 > 0:19:38BELL RINGS
0:19:38 > 0:19:40# I only wanted time
0:19:40 > 0:19:48# To watch her feel around. #
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Why are you behaving so weird? Who's that guy?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57He's your father, Connor.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02What? That guy?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07We were sitting in the same room together
0:20:07 > 0:20:09and you never even said anything?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Why didn't you tell me he was here?
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Look, it's not that simple, Connor. I was trying to...
0:20:15 > 0:20:16Where is he?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Hiya. Lorraine Donnegan.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Barry, these gentleman want a word with you.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10It's all right, Munch. He'll be back, come on.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33I've got a class waiting.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Then get back to it.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Not until you tell me what's going on? Where have you been?
0:21:45 > 0:21:50Joe wanted to see Connor. They're talking now.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Well, that's great, isn't it?
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Is it?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57You've struggled on your own for far too long.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59And the boy could use a father.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04What's the worst that could happen?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Give it a chance. You may be surprised.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16You know, it's so hard to talk to you sometimes, Audrey.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Everything is so black and white.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21I just didn't want you to think you're on your own with this.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24You've got people around here who really care about you
0:22:24 > 0:22:26and want to support you.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Over here.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Thank you for the birthday card.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00You got it? Good.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03All of them.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07I wanted to write back but Mum never knew your address so...
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Yeah, well, I moved around a lot, you know.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Your mother and I were young when we split up.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20There was stuff I needed to get out of my system.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23You're a doctor, right? You work abroad?
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Yeah, something like that.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31So why are you here?
0:23:34 > 0:23:38I've got some business with your mother.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Business. You're here on business?
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Yeah.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49So when were you planning on seeing me?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58I'm sorry. I don't think I can deal with this.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00I can't...
0:24:00 > 0:24:02No, you can't just walk out on me.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Why can't everyone in this family be straight with each other?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17I'm here because my father,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19your grandfather, died.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23That's my business with your mother.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Sorry.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28Thanks.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33I wish you could have met him. He was...
0:24:36 > 0:24:38We were very close.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41But we could be too.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48Right.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56I didn't send those birthday cards. Your mother did.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00What?
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Why would she do that?
0:25:01 > 0:25:05And she told you I was a doctor, paramedic, whatever. I'm not.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Why should I believe you? I don't even know you.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Because I want to make things right.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13I don't want to lie to you.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Mum found it simple enough.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25Don't blame her. It couldn't have been easy for her.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Mum's an alcoholic, she lies about everything. She's made my life hell.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Everything would have been so different if you'd been here.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Why did you never try and get in touch?
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Well, you know what your mother's like. She made it impossible.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55You didn't walk out, did you? She threw you out.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Let's not dwell on the past, eh?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Things are going to be different now.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Shouldn't you be getting to class, or something?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Are you going to stick around?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22I'm your dad, aren't I? Of course I'm going to stick around.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43So did you miss me?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Sit down, Barry.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50They released me. No evidence.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54They want to see you next.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20Up to the double doors.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Michael.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Hang on a sec, gentlemen.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Can I talk to you? It's about my husband.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Yes, he was in my office earlier.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36I thought you said he lived abroad.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38What are you doing bringing him into school?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Look, look, I didn't bring him.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43I can explain. Can we do lunch?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Right, you want me to cancel the emergency SMT meeting for you?
0:27:49 > 0:27:51No, of course not.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55We need to keep things professional. We'll talk about it later.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Sorry. It's this way.
0:28:29 > 0:28:30You back?
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Course I am. Cos they've got no evidence that I did anything at all.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Means they're probably just trying to build a case, doesn't it, miss?
0:28:39 > 0:28:41I'm sure the enquiry is ongoing.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Well, the police are convinced that Barry is responsible
0:28:46 > 0:28:48for the car thefts but there's no hard evidence.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Barry's not the only one that was interviewed, remember.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Meanwhile Lorraine's concerned the PRU isn't working
0:28:53 > 0:28:55and she wants Barry out.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57If he goes he'll take Kacey with him. Dynasty too, probably.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Which is why I think we should listen to Sian's idea.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Barry's trouble, right?
0:29:02 > 0:29:04And a bad influence, especially on his sisters.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Yeah, and the PRU is equipped to deal with him.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10Well, I was thinking of something to support the work of the PRU.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12There was that set-to this morning in the playground.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15I don't think the Barrys are getting too well.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17And Dynasty's run-in with her mother last week.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Exactly. So why don't we split the family up?
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Assign each one an individual member of staff
0:29:22 > 0:29:24for break times and after school.
0:29:24 > 0:29:25Carol Barry won't like that.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Well, we should push the positive, sell it to her as extra tuition.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Sounds good. I'll take Kacey.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33And I've got someone in particular in mind for Dynasty.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36She's a bright student. There's lots of potential there and
0:29:36 > 0:29:40she seems to respond better to male teachers, especially those
0:29:40 > 0:29:43you might not think she'd take an interest in.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48I can't wait to see Grantly's face when you tell him.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50That leaves me with Barry, yeah?
0:29:50 > 0:29:53I'd like Sian to keep an eye on Barry, if you don't mind.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56- With all due respect... - If that's all?
0:30:04 > 0:30:06I've got far more experience of dealing with thugs like Barry.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08If he hears you talking about him like that,
0:30:08 > 0:30:11- he'll know you've written him off. - OK, wrong choice of words.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14In fact, he's not the only student you appear to have written off.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Ever since your car went missing,
0:30:16 > 0:30:18you've been giving Jodie Allen a pretty hard time.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21With good reason. She stole it!
0:30:21 > 0:30:23The police interviewed her today.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Let me make this absolutely clear. There is no evidence whatsoever
0:30:26 > 0:30:29to suggest that Jodie Allen is responsible for those car thefts.
0:30:29 > 0:30:34This has got to stop. I'll be watching you, Nikki.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36I've already got one bully in the school.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38- I don't need another on my staff, is that clear?- Fine.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Old Pokerface has got a face like thunder.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49No. It's more like this -
0:30:49 > 0:30:53"Jodie. I do believe you shot John F Kennedy. Now come on, girl.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56"Own up. I think hanging's too good for you."
0:31:00 > 0:31:02I'm getting out of here.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10You might be able to pull the wool over the police's eyes
0:31:10 > 0:31:13but you're not going to do it to me. This is just the beginning.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Not now, Barry, all right?
0:31:21 > 0:31:23All this trouble over a car with windscreen wipers that only
0:31:23 > 0:31:25worked on slow.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Must have been hard to see what was going on in front of you.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31How do you know that?
0:31:31 > 0:31:34I'd better leave you to pick this up, miss.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36After all, it's your mess.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58So, is there anyone special?
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Mum didn't want us to be happy. So she split us up.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Why, what happened?
0:32:10 > 0:32:13I don't really like talking about it.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14OK.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22I started a fire in the school.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24I was angry, but Imogen got hurt.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Mum took the blame so now I'm stuck with another one of her lies.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35- I know I need to tell Imogen the truth.- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42You can get into a lot of trouble trying to make a bad situation good.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49- Lorraine.- Hi.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54I think Barry's just admitted to stealing my car.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57It's amazing, isn't it? The police know the Barrys are villains
0:32:57 > 0:33:00and yet Michael rolls out the red carpet for them.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02But the police talked to Jodie.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Er, yeah, that was me, I'm afraid.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08You were convinced that it was her so I asked the police to have a word.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11But listen, from today - no more Barrys in Waterloo Road
0:33:11 > 0:33:16- unless Michael comes up with something pretty spectacular. - He already has.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19That's what the PRU is designed for.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21It's one-to-one attention for kids like the Barrys.
0:33:21 > 0:33:27Look, the SMT is right behind it and I just think it might just work.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Right. We'll just have to see how that pans out.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- You're leaving? When?- I've got to get back to my girlfriend.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40We're expecting a kid any day.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46I should have told you. You're going to have a baby brother.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51- Can I come and see him? - Yeah, sure, you bet.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52Where do you live?
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Well...
0:33:55 > 0:33:59..we were planning on putting down roots here.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01It's my dad's farm.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04It's been in our family, your family, for generations.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Can I come with you?
0:34:10 > 0:34:11It might not happen.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Unless your mum waives her share of your grandad's estate,
0:34:16 > 0:34:17I'm going to have to sell.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Let me talk to her.
0:34:31 > 0:34:32Oh, Christine!
0:34:35 > 0:34:36It's not working, Audrey.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42It's meant to take away everything but I can still see him.
0:34:45 > 0:34:46Connor, no.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53Drunk again. You come to tell me off?
0:34:53 > 0:34:56Where are the papers? Dad needs them signed.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58It's his farm, it belonged to his father,
0:34:58 > 0:35:00it has nothing to do with you.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03I'm not going to sign them, Connor.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05That's your inheritance we're talking about.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09I know - and I'm going with Dad.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12We're going to live there - so just sign.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18Connor, I don't want you going anywhere near that place!
0:35:18 > 0:35:22- Pathetic.- Connor. Don't speak to your mother like that.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Look at her.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28Do you know what? Fine, have it your way.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30But I'm going.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32I'd live in a tent if it meant getting away from you.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Connor!
0:35:34 > 0:35:35Bye, Mum.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Connor!
0:35:48 > 0:35:52Get away from me. Just get away from me.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Please don't touch me.
0:35:58 > 0:36:03Please don't hurt me. Get away from me.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Audrey, what is it?
0:36:10 > 0:36:14Oh, Sian! It's Christine. Please come, come.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27- I think the sugar's- dissolved- now.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31What?
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Yeah.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Jodie Allen tells me you've damaged something of mine.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39The Dictaphone.
0:36:40 > 0:36:41That was yours?
0:36:41 > 0:36:42Yes.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47She was recording my classes.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Yes, that was the plan.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51She doesn't always catch everything first time round.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53She wanted to prove herself to you
0:36:53 > 0:36:57so she was going to catch up in her own time.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- I didn't realise.- She's put a lot of trust in us, Nikki.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Come a long way to make a better life for herself.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Why are you treating her like this?
0:37:08 > 0:37:11I've been so wrong about her. I've made her life hell, Tom.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Too right.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15She's a vulnerable kid.
0:37:15 > 0:37:16We have a duty of care.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28How much do you want?
0:37:30 > 0:37:33It appears my talents as a mentor
0:37:33 > 0:37:38have finally been given the recognition they deserve.
0:37:38 > 0:37:43Mr Byrne has charged us with an extremely hazardous mission.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Look, Grantly, I'm a bit busy.
0:37:47 > 0:37:52Since we met, I have ceased to think of myself and yourself
0:37:52 > 0:37:54as two separate entities,
0:37:54 > 0:37:58but rather, as two discrete parts of the same whole.
0:37:58 > 0:38:03I'm going to discreetly ram this down your hole if you don't get lost.
0:38:03 > 0:38:04All right, all right.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06I'm not a slice of toast, Grantly.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08I'm a human being, and I can think for myself.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12AND I like to know what I'm being buttered up for.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19I've been asked to give Dynasty Barry extra tuition.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Great, we like Dynasty.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26- We do?- Yeah. She's got a bit of oomph about her.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32How much has she had, Audrey?
0:38:32 > 0:38:35She hadn't drunk for three months before today.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36How much?
0:38:36 > 0:38:38A lot.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42Well, if she's not been drinking, it's a shock to her system.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43No wonder she's in such a state.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Right, there's a class in here in half an hour,
0:38:47 > 0:38:50so you get her to the nurse's station and I will let Michael know.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54No, don't tell Michael.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56- Ssh, ssh!- I don't want him to see me like this.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- It's all right, Christine. - I don't want him to see me...
0:38:59 > 0:39:01I'm sorry, Christine, you're on probation
0:39:01 > 0:39:04and you've had enough warnings.
0:39:07 > 0:39:08Ah, the woman of the hour.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12Well done. Lorraine's on board with your plan for the Barrys.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14This isn't about the Barrys. This is about Christine.
0:39:14 > 0:39:19- What about her? - She brought alcohol into school.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22And she drank it. And, oh, did she drink it!
0:39:22 > 0:39:23I'll deal with it.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24She's really disturbed.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27She doesn't seem to care about anything.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29- I said, I'll deal with it. - Michael, she's on probation!
0:39:29 > 0:39:31We have a duty of care to the pupils.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Are you questioning my professional judgment?
0:39:33 > 0:39:37Questioning it? I'm saying you've thrown it out of the window.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Getting involved with a member of your own staff?
0:39:39 > 0:39:41An alcoholic on probation?
0:39:41 > 0:39:43I don't know what you were thinking.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46If she's not dismissed after this, we all know why.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09OK, can I have a bit of hush, please?
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Thank you.
0:40:14 > 0:40:19I'm very quick to criticise you lot publicly when you mess up.
0:40:21 > 0:40:26So I think it's only fair I own up publicly when I make a mistake.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Are you going to send yourself t'cooler, miss?
0:40:28 > 0:40:30SHE LAUGHS
0:40:32 > 0:40:36My treatment of Jodie has been reprehensible.
0:40:39 > 0:40:44Especially now I've learnt she's a totally innocent party.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Can we just get on with the class, miss?
0:40:50 > 0:40:51Yeah.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Connor!
0:40:59 > 0:41:00Connor!
0:41:02 > 0:41:04You going to tell me what's up?
0:41:04 > 0:41:05I'm leaving.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10- What? - I'm going with my dad. For good.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15You can't. You've been my best mate since I arrived.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Things are never going to work out for me here.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22I know the feeling.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25He's all right.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27I hope things work out for you too.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32# I wish I could change the past today
0:41:32 > 0:41:33# I'm sorry that it went this way
0:41:33 > 0:41:37# I feel for you
0:41:39 > 0:41:42# I really do
0:41:49 > 0:41:52# Oh-oh
0:41:54 > 0:41:57# Oh-oh
0:41:58 > 0:42:02# You don't have to understand
0:42:03 > 0:42:06# Baby, would you hold my hand?
0:42:08 > 0:42:10# Cos time is so fast and I know it's cruel
0:42:10 > 0:42:13# I really don't know what to say
0:42:13 > 0:42:15# It's the price I pay... #
0:42:15 > 0:42:17RETCHING
0:42:22 > 0:42:25TOILET FLUSHES
0:42:36 > 0:42:38SHE SIGHS
0:42:42 > 0:42:47Thanks, Audrey. I'll, um...I'll be fine now.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51You know, the first moment I saw you, Christine,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54I thought, that woman's a brilliant liar.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59She lies to her son, people around her, she lies to everyone.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07But she tells the biggest lies to herself.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17Just close the door quietly on your way out. My head's splitting.
0:43:24 > 0:43:28Who are you trying to protect with your fairy tales? Connor?
0:43:28 > 0:43:29Yourself?
0:43:30 > 0:43:31Audrey, don't.
0:43:33 > 0:43:38What secret is worth losing your son over?
0:43:40 > 0:43:42SHE LAUGHS
0:43:44 > 0:43:49You know, feeding you lies is like feeding chocolate drops to a puppy.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52You just sit there with your tongue hanging out
0:43:52 > 0:43:55and then you lap them up and come wagging your tail for more.
0:43:56 > 0:44:01Why can't you just be human and accept failure for once?
0:44:03 > 0:44:06- SHE SOBS - I just wanted to help you.
0:44:06 > 0:44:09No, no, you were just tickled at the thought
0:44:09 > 0:44:11of saving some poor, lost soul!
0:44:13 > 0:44:15I pity you, Christine.
0:44:15 > 0:44:16I really, really pity you.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20I have a class.
0:44:22 > 0:44:24Children for whom there is still some hope.
0:45:00 > 0:45:02Right, come on, Kasey, let's go.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04Good luck.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Now, please.
0:45:11 > 0:45:15Look, I've had a really long day. I just want to go home.
0:45:15 > 0:45:19Yeah, me too. You've got writing materials, I take it?
0:45:19 > 0:45:23The only writing I do is righting wrongs
0:45:23 > 0:45:25that have been done to me and mine.
0:45:25 > 0:45:28And this is one of them.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31How poetic. Sit down.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43But it's about baseball.
0:45:43 > 0:45:46Well, it's about life.
0:45:46 > 0:45:49About how it's never too late to achieve your goals.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51Jodie, will you just wait a minute?
0:45:54 > 0:45:55Right.
0:45:57 > 0:46:01I've uploaded loads of visual and audio aids onto this.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03It basically covers everything that we cover in class
0:46:03 > 0:46:06and each day we're going to go over it.
0:46:06 > 0:46:08But this is your laptop.
0:46:08 > 0:46:10Yeah, it's OK, I can manage without this one.
0:46:11 > 0:46:13I'm sorry, Jodie.
0:46:13 > 0:46:15I want to make it up to you.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20All right, let's have a look at it. So...
0:46:24 > 0:46:26Never cooked nothing before,
0:46:26 > 0:46:28so if it works on you, I'm going to test it on monkeys.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30- Isn't that right, Mags? - That's right!
0:46:30 > 0:46:33Does it contain nuts, Dyno?
0:46:33 > 0:46:36It'll contain yours if you call me that again.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38Is that us done, then?
0:46:38 > 0:46:41What? You must be joking! You're not getting off that lightly!
0:46:41 > 0:46:43You and Mr Budgen will be hitting the books later.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45Christine.
0:46:48 > 0:46:50- What are you doing?- Connor's...
0:46:50 > 0:46:53Never mind Connor. What's going on with you?
0:46:53 > 0:46:56Connor's leaving, I need to find him.
0:46:57 > 0:46:58OK, I'll drive you.
0:47:59 > 0:48:01It was always your home. Never mine.
0:48:03 > 0:48:05Always waiting for you to come back.
0:48:11 > 0:48:13So I went out and found myself someone else.
0:48:13 > 0:48:17And don't ask, because I don't remember him. He's gone.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21You're not Connor's father.
0:48:25 > 0:48:28I wanted you to be. Once.
0:48:32 > 0:48:34Come on, Joe. I'm giving you the chance to go.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36You're having a new start, remember?
0:48:40 > 0:48:42He's a good kid.
0:48:43 > 0:48:45Deserves better than you.
0:48:45 > 0:48:47Well, you could have stayed with us, given him better.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49I was right not to, though, wasn't I?
0:48:49 > 0:48:50He wasn't mine.
0:48:50 > 0:48:53Well, what difference does it make? I get it now.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57You'd have stayed if you loved me.
0:49:01 > 0:49:05Come on, Joe. Time to disappear.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08You're quite an act, Chrissie.
0:49:08 > 0:49:10You always were.
0:49:44 > 0:49:46Don't try and stop me.
0:49:47 > 0:49:49Connor, your father's gone.
0:49:50 > 0:49:53I don't believe you.
0:49:53 > 0:49:54I'm so sorry, Connor.
0:49:56 > 0:50:00Connor! Connor!
0:50:00 > 0:50:04Connor! Your dad will promise you the world,
0:50:04 > 0:50:07but he makes promises he can't keep and then he runs.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10I want you to be different.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14I know you're angry, all those silly stories,
0:50:14 > 0:50:16but I was only trying to protect you.
0:50:16 > 0:50:19What were you trying to protect me from, Mum?
0:50:20 > 0:50:22Maybe I've got you all wrong.
0:50:22 > 0:50:24Maybe there's something I'm missing,
0:50:24 > 0:50:27something so big that it'll make me see you in a whole new light.
0:50:30 > 0:50:33No, didn't think so.
0:50:59 > 0:51:01I'm so glad you were here, Michael.
0:51:11 > 0:51:12What?
0:51:12 > 0:51:13Christine...
0:51:15 > 0:51:19I have a responsibility to the school, to the kids.
0:51:19 > 0:51:20That has to come first.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25Are you firing me?
0:51:25 > 0:51:27Well, you were on probation. You knew the score.
0:51:27 > 0:51:29What else am I supposed to do?
0:51:39 > 0:51:41What about us?
0:51:43 > 0:51:47Well, I wanted that to work too, but I guess it was...
0:51:47 > 0:51:49I suppose I was fooling myself.
0:51:55 > 0:51:56Christine.
0:52:00 > 0:52:02You're a recovering alcoholic.
0:52:06 > 0:52:10You need to give yourself the time to put your life back together.
0:52:10 > 0:52:14This will never happen again, I swear.
0:52:16 > 0:52:19You need to try and find a way of telling people the truth.
0:52:21 > 0:52:24Starting with your own son.
0:52:25 > 0:52:27That's never going to happen.
0:52:29 > 0:52:31Connor can never know the truth.
0:52:36 > 0:52:37You need help.
0:52:43 > 0:52:45What is it?
0:52:49 > 0:52:50Christine, what is it?
0:52:57 > 0:52:58Joe...
0:53:00 > 0:53:02..isn't Connor's father.
0:53:04 > 0:53:06I was raped.
0:53:53 > 0:53:54What happened?
0:54:00 > 0:54:01Hey.
0:54:04 > 0:54:06You can trust me.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21I, um...
0:54:24 > 0:54:27I was on my own in the farmhouse.
0:54:29 > 0:54:31Joe's father...
0:54:34 > 0:54:35..came in.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42He was covered in mud, absolutely covered.
0:54:42 > 0:54:46I said something. I had a go, and he got angry and...
0:54:51 > 0:54:53..he was on top of me.
0:54:59 > 0:55:02I thought I'd put all this in the past. How crazy is that?
0:55:05 > 0:55:08And when I heard he left me something in his will,
0:55:08 > 0:55:10my blood ran cold.
0:55:29 > 0:55:31We'll find a way through this.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54See you tomorrow.
0:56:34 > 0:56:35Sorry for what?
0:56:35 > 0:56:38Sorry for bending back the pages in my book?
0:56:40 > 0:56:42Sorry for leaving without saying goodbye?
0:56:44 > 0:56:47Or sorry for abandoning me when I needed you most?
0:56:54 > 0:56:56So it all went a bit crazy today?
0:56:58 > 0:57:01I think I was wrong about my mum.
0:57:01 > 0:57:03Then you're way, way ahead of me.
0:57:04 > 0:57:07Hey...
0:57:07 > 0:57:09he's not making a lot of sense,
0:57:09 > 0:57:11but at least he's looking at me
0:57:11 > 0:57:13and my scarred face.
0:57:19 > 0:57:22I don't want the lies to destroy us like they did me and her.
0:57:28 > 0:57:30Mum didn't start the fire.
0:57:35 > 0:57:36I did.
0:57:38 > 0:57:41Look, listen, OK, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
0:57:41 > 0:57:42- Sorry?- Listen, listen!
0:57:42 > 0:57:44Sorry?!
0:57:54 > 0:57:56You can't just sweep this under the carpet.
0:57:56 > 0:57:58That's not what I'm trying to do.
0:57:58 > 0:57:59Do you have any idea how hard it is
0:57:59 > 0:58:01to live with strangers again and again?
0:58:01 > 0:58:03There you are with your dirty little secrets!
0:58:03 > 0:58:05Well, I'm not spending any more time with you.
0:58:05 > 0:58:08We need to make a good impression on Mr Austin Healy.
0:58:08 > 0:58:10- Got any rubbish? - Oh, more than you can imagine.
0:58:10 > 0:58:13CHEERING
0:58:15 > 0:58:17I told Imogen the truth. That it was me that started the fire.
0:58:17 > 0:58:19Oh, Connor, please tell me you didn't.
0:58:19 > 0:58:22Kevin told me what he saw.
0:58:22 > 0:58:24Information indicating you aren't who you say you are.
0:58:24 > 0:58:27Why are you listening to Kevin all of a sudden?
