0:00:32 > 0:00:33You forgot that you had a gun?

0:00:33 > 0:00:36I'm not stupid. My dad's in prison for using one.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38You're not far behind.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41We're in the PRU. We don't need to prepare. We just need to stay awake.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44- I'm closing the unit.- You can't close it. I need my education.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46One last chance. Prove me wrong.

0:02:25 > 0:02:26Oh, hello.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Is Connor in?

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Yeah, yeah. He's in the kitchen.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Imogen, I'm really glad you two have patched things up.

0:02:33 > 0:02:34Connor's like...

0:02:34 > 0:02:36He's like a different person.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Everything OK?

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Yeah. Sorry. Miles away.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45Got a lot on with exams coming up and everything.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Well, if there's anything I can do to help...

0:02:47 > 0:02:50No, it's fine. I'll manage. Thanks, though.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54I can do mates rates on private tuition, if you like?

0:02:59 > 0:03:01I thought I was calling for you this morning?

0:03:01 > 0:03:02Yeah, well, I was up early so...

0:03:04 > 0:03:07You all right? You look exhausted.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11Thanks(!) I just didn't sleep too well.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Nothing a bit of concealer can't fix.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15- Can I use your bathroom? - Yeah, on you go.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Jade!

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Come on! Everyone's waiting.

0:03:23 > 0:03:24Why?

0:03:24 > 0:03:28Nowt. It's just Maggie's made her extra-special scrambled eggs again.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30- I'm not hungry. I might miss it. - You can't!

0:03:30 > 0:03:32I mean, you know, you've got to eat, haven't you?

0:03:32 > 0:03:34I'll get something later. I've got stuff to do.

0:03:34 > 0:03:38What you in such a hurry for, anyway?

0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Adoption forms?- That's private.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Is this for real?

0:03:46 > 0:03:48I haven't got time for this. I need to go.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50How long have you been planning this for?

0:03:50 > 0:03:52I told you, Scout. Just leave it.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54It's just...

0:03:54 > 0:03:56Maggie's got a surprise planned.

0:03:57 > 0:03:58Is it about the baby?

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Ta-da!

0:04:13 > 0:04:16I know you wanted to sort things for your baby yourself,

0:04:16 > 0:04:20but I saw this and I couldn't resist.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22She spent ages trying to find the right one.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24That baby's so lucky.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29Don't you like it?

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Cost more than my last car did.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35No, it's lovely, Maggie, really. It's just...

0:04:35 > 0:04:36It's just too much.

0:04:36 > 0:04:41Oh, rubbish! Anything to keep my little granddaughter here happy.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44It's great. Thanks. I've got to get going though.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46I've got some stuff to pick up in town before school.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49You've got your phone on you, yeah? In case anything happens.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51SHE MOUTHS

0:05:01 > 0:05:03- Better now?- You tell me?

0:05:03 > 0:05:05You don't need make-up to look gorgeous.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09We've still got some time before we need to head.

0:05:09 > 0:05:10I'm not in the mood.

0:05:12 > 0:05:13You're OK with this...

0:05:13 > 0:05:15with us, aren't you?

0:05:15 > 0:05:16Yeah, course I am.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Have you brushed your teeth today?

0:05:22 > 0:05:25This isn't right, Jade. You need to tell someone what you're doing.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27Forget you ever saw anything.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30What's so wrong with a baby staying with us, anyway?

0:05:30 > 0:05:33Because she deserves a proper home, a normal one.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35What's that supposed to mean?

0:05:35 > 0:05:39She needs two parents who can look after her and care for her,

0:05:39 > 0:05:41like I've never had.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45You've got us, though, now. That's better, isn't it?

0:05:45 > 0:05:48It wouldn't be the same. You know it wouldn't.

0:05:48 > 0:05:52But this is your own flesh and blood you're talking about giving away, Jade. A baby!

0:05:54 > 0:05:56I know.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58But it'll be best for her in the long run.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00You haven't met these guys, Scout.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03They're all she needs. They're perfect.

0:06:03 > 0:06:04But you might be perfect, too.

0:06:09 > 0:06:14They want this more than anyone I've ever met,

0:06:14 > 0:06:18they really do, and I'm just not ready for it yet.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21So is this where you're going now, then? To meet them?

0:06:23 > 0:06:26We've been meeting over a couple of months.

0:06:26 > 0:06:27I haven't rushed this.

0:06:28 > 0:06:32Fine, then I'm coming too, and see it for myself,

0:06:32 > 0:06:34because if they are really as good as you say,

0:06:34 > 0:06:36someone's going to have to back you up to Maggie

0:06:36 > 0:06:37when it all comes out.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55- KNOCK ON DOOR - Come on, we're going to be late!

0:06:55 > 0:06:57Coming!

0:07:04 > 0:07:05Morning, Michael.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09Morning. Are we all set for the PRU presentation later on?

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Mmm. Chance to show the rest of the school what the PRU is capable of.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Well, I must say, I'm impressed with what they've been doing.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Yeah, they seem to be improving academically,

0:07:17 > 0:07:20and today, I thought, would bolster their public speaking skills.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23Well, I look forward to seeing it.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Oh, Jodi in particular has made massive improvements.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28She keeps this up, it's a case for uni.

0:07:28 > 0:07:29Well, one step at a time.

0:07:29 > 0:07:30But hopefully it will help

0:07:30 > 0:07:34to justify Lorraine's continued investment into the PRU.

0:07:34 > 0:07:35< Shut up, you!

0:07:35 > 0:07:37As long as everyone behaves themselves.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Yeah, he was lucky to get away with a caution

0:07:39 > 0:07:41after the stunt he pulled last week.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43Well, I'm sure it's nothing Sian doesn't have under control.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45What's that?

0:07:45 > 0:07:46Mr Barry, over there.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Yeah.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51You going to be watching my presentation, Miss?

0:07:51 > 0:07:54- I can't wait.- Actually, Barry, I think it might be best

0:07:54 > 0:07:57- if you spent the afternoon with Miss McFall.- What?

0:07:57 > 0:08:00You're lucky to be in school at all after what happened last week.

0:08:00 > 0:08:01- But, Miss...- No arguments.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09I can see your point, Sian, but he's been working really hard.

0:08:09 > 0:08:10I don't want to take the risk.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13Especially not with such a public opportunity to cause trouble.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23See you after break, yeah?

0:08:23 > 0:08:24Connor!

0:08:24 > 0:08:25Are you all right?

0:08:25 > 0:08:27You hardly said a word on the way in.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Yeah, I've just got a lot on my mind.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31You?

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Yeah, course.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41Still not come to your senses, then?

0:08:41 > 0:08:42Why can't you just be happy for us?

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Because I can't believe you're forgiving him for doing that to you.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47Yeah, well, I'm not you.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49I'm surprised your Mum's on board.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51My mum would kill anyone who hurt me like that.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53It's got nothing to do with her.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55You haven't told her?

0:08:55 > 0:08:56Imogen!

0:08:58 > 0:09:01What do you think? Got them online.

0:09:01 > 0:09:02Bit small for him, aren't they?

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Mr Byrne knows you're in here, does he?

0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Do you think Jade will like them? - She must have enough stuff

0:09:07 > 0:09:09to open her own branch of Mothercare by now.

0:09:09 > 0:09:10Behave! It's only a couple of quid!

0:09:10 > 0:09:12On top of the couple of hundred I've already spent.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Look, I'm doing my best to support Jade and her baby.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17It's not like she's got anybody else, is it?

0:09:17 > 0:09:20Just remember, it is HER baby, not ours.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Hearing the patter of tiny feet, are we?

0:09:22 > 0:09:25Fine, if you can't be bothered I'll manage myself.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28Lorraine, are you coming to the presentation this afternoon?

0:09:28 > 0:09:29No, it's the first I've heard of it.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32Oh, right, we're giving the PRU pupils

0:09:32 > 0:09:34a chance to showcase themselves.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36That's a great idea, but I've got meetings all day.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39It'll be a great morale boost to the kids to see you there.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Jade Fleming has a fantastic performance lined up.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44It would be great of you could see it.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47I'll see if Tanya can juggle my diary. All right.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50I've been working weeks on my art work for this presentation!

0:09:50 > 0:09:52I was going to film it for my dad and everything!

0:09:52 > 0:09:55How could you expect to be involved after what happened last week?

0:09:55 > 0:09:58This is my chance to make amends for it, do something right for once.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01I thought that's what today was about, proving yourself?

0:10:01 > 0:10:04It's going to take a bit more than a show and tell in your case.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Let me make a start, Miss, please?

0:10:06 > 0:10:09For your sake too.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12You've helped me loads and I just want a chance to repay that.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14- All right, enough of the violins. - So you'll let me do it?

0:10:17 > 0:10:19If you step out of line for a second...

0:10:19 > 0:10:22I won't. You won't regret it, Miss, I promise.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28This is going to break Maggie's heart, do you know that?

0:10:28 > 0:10:30Why do you think I haven't told her yet?

0:10:30 > 0:10:34So you were just going to give birth then give it away?

0:10:34 > 0:10:36No, I just didn't know how to tell her.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Sarah runs this place.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43A cafe?

0:10:43 > 0:10:44Just be cool, OK? They're good people.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Sorry I'm a bit late.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55Don't worry about it. You're here now, looking radiant as ever.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57Sarah, look who it is.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01You've grown so much since last week! I can't believe it!

0:11:02 > 0:11:04Scout, this is Kaz and Sarah Winters.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Pleasure to meet you, Scout.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09It's Jodi, actually. Just Scout to my friends.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11OK, well, come and sit yourselves down.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16So when you wanted to meet so soon again after last week...

0:11:16 > 0:11:20Just thought we should have a final catch up before she gets here.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22Only a few more weeks to go!

0:11:22 > 0:11:23Feels like a lifetime.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26You look gorgeous, though.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28You should cherish this time, Jade.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30It's very special.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33We took some more photos of the nursery for you.

0:11:36 > 0:11:37It's come on loads!

0:11:37 > 0:11:40This is an amazing thing you're doing for us,

0:11:40 > 0:11:41you know that don't you?

0:11:41 > 0:11:44Yeah, well it's not like you're not helping me out as well.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47And how's the rap training going? You got your flow down yet?

0:11:47 > 0:11:49Yeah, totally! I think I've well improved!

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Kaz has been helping Jade. He's a music producer.

0:11:52 > 0:11:53Oh, yeah? Who for?

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Probably no-one you've heard of.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57It was a while ago.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59But I know how nerve-wracking it can be

0:11:59 > 0:12:02to perform in front of an audience for the first time, so...

0:12:02 > 0:12:05We got you a little good luck gift to help you out.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12Oh!

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Drew would have liked that, wouldn't he?

0:12:14 > 0:12:18So, what does he think about this little thing, then?

0:12:18 > 0:12:21You said you weren't in touch. It was a one night stand?

0:12:21 > 0:12:24- Sarah!- Sorry, did I say something?

0:12:24 > 0:12:27Yeah, it was a long time ago. Bit embarrassing.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31Yeah, well, don't worry about it.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34We're just so grateful that you're doing this for us.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40BELL RINGS

0:12:40 > 0:12:43- All right?- Not exactly.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45Whoa! That's huge!

0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Tell the world, why don't you?! - I mean, it's only the box, though.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50You don't know it's positive.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53She was acting weird this morning, like she had something to hide.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55What are the chances? You two have only just got back together

0:12:55 > 0:12:57- and then this happens?- I know.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59If your contraception is almost 100% effective,

0:12:59 > 0:13:01that means there's got to be

0:13:01 > 0:13:03a statistical margin of error of approximately...

0:13:03 > 0:13:05Right, thanks, mate, but I don't need a maths lesson.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07I need to understand why she didn't come talk to me.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Girls can get funny about this kind of thing, can't they?

0:13:09 > 0:13:12And you'd know..?

0:13:12 > 0:13:14Either way, you're going to have to talk to her about it.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16I guess.

0:13:16 > 0:13:17Man up! Do the honourable thing.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Show her you're there for her, whatever she needs.

0:13:20 > 0:13:21Yeah, of course.

0:13:26 > 0:13:27Sorry I'm late, Miss.

0:13:27 > 0:13:28At least you made it.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31Which is more than can be said for some.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34Rhiannon, do you know where Jade and Scout are this morning?

0:13:34 > 0:13:37Jade said she went into town before school, but that were ages ago.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39Scout?

0:13:39 > 0:13:42What am I? Their bodyguard?

0:13:43 > 0:13:44This has been great, guys,

0:13:44 > 0:13:46but I do have to get on.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48It's busy this place, isn't it?

0:13:48 > 0:13:51PHONE RINGS

0:13:51 > 0:13:55Thankfully, I've lined someone else up to run it when the baby arrives.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58The next time we see you, it'll be with our little girl.

0:13:58 > 0:14:02I can't wait. You take care.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05I'll drop you back. I'll meet you downstairs,

0:14:05 > 0:14:07- I'll just get the car. - They're great, yeah?

0:14:07 > 0:14:09It's not them I'm worried about now.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11I mean, you're acting as though

0:14:11 > 0:14:12- you want them to adopt YOU. - Whatever!

0:14:12 > 0:14:15They're just going to turn up at the hospital and take your baby?

0:14:15 > 0:14:17Should you be meeting them like this?

0:14:17 > 0:14:20The agency organises it. It's up to me how often I meet them.

0:14:20 > 0:14:21And Drew, he was a one night stand?

0:14:21 > 0:14:23I thought he was the love of your life?

0:14:23 > 0:14:26I'm not going to tell them he got banged up for stabbing someone.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28So? You could have told them something.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31I mean, have you even told him what you're doing?

0:14:31 > 0:14:34Jade! He's out in two months, he's going to find out!

0:14:34 > 0:14:36It'll be done by then. He won't be able to stop it.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41It's not that I don't love him anymore, Scout. I do.

0:14:41 > 0:14:45It's just...I can't ever see him making a good dad.

0:14:45 > 0:14:46You know, a reliable one.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Listen, just do me a favour

0:14:50 > 0:14:52and keep this between us, please?

0:14:52 > 0:14:55I can't deal with everyone getting on my case.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03So, turn to page 56, and I'd like you to review

0:15:03 > 0:15:06how enzyme properties can be used industrially, OK?

0:15:06 > 0:15:07We'll take 15 minutes.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09You're going to have to tell your mum eventually, though.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11You can't keep seeing Connor in secret for ever.

0:15:11 > 0:15:15I tried, but she just kept going on about how much she hates him.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17Reckons he'll be locked up by the time he's 18.

0:15:17 > 0:15:18You never know.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20It's bad enough dealing with Mrs Mulgrew

0:15:20 > 0:15:22without my mum getting involved as well.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Why can't people just let us be together?

0:15:24 > 0:15:26Look, I know I don't agree with what you're doing,

0:15:26 > 0:15:28but I'm still your mate, right?

0:15:28 > 0:15:31And if that means keeping a secret, then so be it.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33I think I can manage that.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36Thanks, that means a lot.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39I'm doing it for you, thought not for him.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Dynasty, how are you feeling about enzymes?

0:15:42 > 0:15:43Yeah, I'm all for them, Miss.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46Perhaps you can be all for them from your own seat?

0:15:50 > 0:15:52Rhiannon, do you know where Scout or Jade's got to?

0:15:52 > 0:15:55Miss Boston tells me they haven't been in school all morning

0:15:55 > 0:15:56and they're not answering their phones.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59No, why's everyone keep asking me that?

0:15:59 > 0:16:02Duh! Jade's nine months pregnant and you are her housemate!

0:16:02 > 0:16:04They're fine, they're probably just

0:16:04 > 0:16:06skiving their presentation or something.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09Though Jade were looking kind of peaky this morning, weren't she?

0:16:09 > 0:16:12And she's due to blow any day now. What if she's burst already?

0:16:12 > 0:16:14Stuck in the hospital by herself!

0:16:14 > 0:16:17I better phone Braeside, see if they've heard anything.

0:16:19 > 0:16:20Imogen?

0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Can I have a word?- Course.

0:16:26 > 0:16:27In private?

0:16:29 > 0:16:30OK.

0:16:33 > 0:16:34Shouldn't you be in the PRU?

0:16:38 > 0:16:40Some things are more important than that.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42Such as?

0:16:46 > 0:16:50Now, look, Imogen, I know I've not been the best boyfriend.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53Right...

0:16:54 > 0:16:57But that's all behind us now. A new start, yeah?

0:16:57 > 0:16:58No more secrets?

0:17:01 > 0:17:02Course.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07So, I just wanted you to know that

0:17:07 > 0:17:11if anything did change between us that I'd still be here for you.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13For BOTH of you.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18Both of you?

0:17:18 > 0:17:19What?

0:17:19 > 0:17:20You think I'm pregnant?

0:17:22 > 0:17:24This is yours, isn't it?

0:17:24 > 0:17:26You left it in the bin this morning.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29That's not mine. Don't you think I would have

0:17:29 > 0:17:31talked to you if I did think I was pregnant?

0:17:31 > 0:17:35Yeah, but when you came in this morning looking all tired, I just...

0:17:36 > 0:17:39If it's not yours, then it must be...

0:17:44 > 0:17:46What are you doing?

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Miss, he's copying me!

0:17:49 > 0:17:50Miss?

0:17:50 > 0:17:52Harley, just concentrate on your own work.

0:17:52 > 0:17:53I was, though, Miss.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57And you can finish off the rest

0:17:57 > 0:17:59at break, in detention!

0:18:03 > 0:18:06Psst! What's all that about?

0:18:06 > 0:18:10I don't know. She's been in a weird mood all morning.

0:18:10 > 0:18:11Quiet!

0:18:12 > 0:18:15Oi! Oi! Take it round the side!

0:18:15 > 0:18:18What, no-one's seen them since they left this morning?

0:18:18 > 0:18:19Not a thing, nothing.

0:18:19 > 0:18:24I've phoned Braeside, the General Infirmary, Greenock West.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Nobody's heard anything.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30Something's happened to her, Tom, I just know it.

0:18:30 > 0:18:31Yeah, well, why don't we ask her ourselves

0:18:31 > 0:18:33before we get too carried away?

0:18:36 > 0:18:38You didn't have to bring us all the way in.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41I'm hardly going to make you walk further than you had to!

0:18:41 > 0:18:42Jade?

0:18:42 > 0:18:44Everything OK?

0:18:44 > 0:18:47Yeah, that's Maggie. The one I told you about.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49Where've you been, girls?

0:18:49 > 0:18:51Just in town, like I said. What's the big deal?

0:18:51 > 0:18:55The big deal, young lady, is that you are nine months pregnant

0:18:55 > 0:18:57and you haven't been in school all morning.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00And now you're getting lifts off strange men, apparently!

0:19:00 > 0:19:03Well, I better introduce myself. I'm Kaz Winters.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05And you are?

0:19:05 > 0:19:07One half of the baby's adoptive parents.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Adoption? - What? You haven't told them?

0:19:14 > 0:19:15What's he talking about?

0:19:15 > 0:19:17I wanted to tell you. I just...

0:19:17 > 0:19:19She didn't want to freak you out.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22Of course I'm going to freak out!

0:19:22 > 0:19:24Is this your doing? Brainwashing her?

0:19:24 > 0:19:26- Maggie...- No, it was Jade's idea.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28I'm sure the police will have something to say

0:19:28 > 0:19:31about you taking two girls out of school without us knowing!

0:19:31 > 0:19:34Police? She said she had a free period this morning.

0:19:34 > 0:19:35Right, let's go inside.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38We'll talk about this sensibly, yeah?

0:19:40 > 0:19:42Scout, get to the PRU, please.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47I just don't believe this.

0:19:47 > 0:19:51Have you completely lost your mind, Jade?

0:19:51 > 0:19:52I think I can probably explain.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55I want to hear from her, not you. I think you've done enough damage.

0:19:55 > 0:19:56Maggie!

0:19:56 > 0:20:00After everything we've been through. Six months.

0:20:00 > 0:20:04Six months of antenatal classes, all my special little eating plans.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06How could you do this to me?

0:20:06 > 0:20:10Without even coming to me and talking about it first?

0:20:10 > 0:20:13I just wanted her to have the best start, that's all.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Yes, and that is with us.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19I don't understand why you're even considering this.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21Adoption, right, is for people with no other choice.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23I'm giving you options.

0:20:23 > 0:20:27How can you turn your back on that for the sake of this...for him?!

0:20:27 > 0:20:31- Excuse me?- Stop it, both of you!

0:20:31 > 0:20:33It's my baby, my choice!

0:20:33 > 0:20:36Yeah, well, it's the wrong choice.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38How can you say that?

0:20:38 > 0:20:41Maybe you should leave us to discuss this for now, Maggie.

0:20:41 > 0:20:42Hang on a minute, Tom.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45I'm her house mistress and this is my concern.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47And it's obviously a very emotional issue.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50I think you should go away and consider that.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52Please.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14You need to talk to her, Connor. Say something.

0:21:14 > 0:21:15It's none of my business.

0:21:15 > 0:21:19It is, if you're going to have a little half-brother running around.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23I'm sorry for any trouble,

0:21:23 > 0:21:25but there's obviously been a bit of confusion

0:21:25 > 0:21:27over who knew what about Jade's adoption plans.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29Caused in no small part by you, it seems.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31- I knew she'd overreact. - That doesn't mean

0:21:31 > 0:21:33you couldn't be honest about what you were planning.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35It's a big decision.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37You can hardly blame her, the way that woman reacted.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39"That woman" has a very close relationship

0:21:39 > 0:21:40with the children in her care.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42- Too close, if you ask me.- Oh?

0:21:42 > 0:21:45Well, maybe we need to start finding Jade somewhere else to live,

0:21:45 > 0:21:47if she's going to lose it like that.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49I don't think that will be necessary.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52This whole process is stressful enough for Jade and her baby,

0:21:52 > 0:21:54without adding her into the equation too.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56I appreciate your concern, Mr Winters,

0:21:56 > 0:21:59but we are more than capable of looking after Jade, believe me.

0:22:01 > 0:22:02Jade?

0:22:15 > 0:22:17This is SO heavy, Miss!

0:22:17 > 0:22:18It's good for you.

0:22:21 > 0:22:22What happened this morning, Jodi?

0:22:22 > 0:22:24Skipping class?

0:22:24 > 0:22:26It won't happen again, Miss. It was an emergency.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28You know I should give you a detention.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30I wouldn't have done it unless it was important.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32I'll make it up to you today with my presentation, yeah?

0:22:32 > 0:22:34I just don't want you to let yourself down.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Not when you've put all this work in.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41So that's what happened to you and Jade this morning, then.

0:22:41 > 0:22:42Skiving to get out of it.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45You'll find out soon enough.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47Scout?

0:22:47 > 0:22:50I only found out this morning, Maggie, I swear.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52And you didn't think to tell me as soon as you knew?

0:22:52 > 0:22:54Yeah, but she wanted to keep it a secret

0:22:54 > 0:22:55in case you tried to stop her.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57I'm here to look after you lot, right?

0:22:57 > 0:22:59To save you from making mistakes.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02- I don't think she sees it that way. - Well, maybe not now,

0:23:02 > 0:23:06but who knows how she's going to feel in ten years' time, two even?

0:23:06 > 0:23:09This couple, are they putting pressure on her or something?

0:23:09 > 0:23:12No, they're all right, actually.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14Drew, then?

0:23:16 > 0:23:17What?

0:23:19 > 0:23:20It's just...

0:23:20 > 0:23:22I don't think she's even told him yet.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24Look, just talk to Jade, all right?

0:23:24 > 0:23:26I've got to go set up my presentation, yeah?

0:23:35 > 0:23:36You going to have a go as well?

0:23:36 > 0:23:39Tell me what a mistake I'm making?

0:23:39 > 0:23:43No. I just want to make sure you're OK.

0:23:43 > 0:23:44You've got a lot to deal with.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46Well, I've dealt with it.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48It's the others you need to worry about.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54And you're sure this is your own decision?

0:23:54 > 0:23:56I'm not a child. I know what I'm doing.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58I'm not saying that.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00I went through an adoption agency.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02I chose to meet Kaz and Sarah.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04It's just, I thought you were looking forward

0:24:04 > 0:24:05to raising her yourself?

0:24:05 > 0:24:08It just wasn't the way I saw her life going, I guess.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11Or mine. I just didn't know how to tell anyone that.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14It's not like I'm enjoying having to make this decision.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16It must be tough.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19Miss Budgen's going to hate me.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21- Kick me out for sure. - She won't do that.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23She'll calm down once she's had a chance

0:24:23 > 0:24:25to see things from your point of view.

0:24:27 > 0:24:28Shouldn't you be in class?

0:24:28 > 0:24:31Setting up for the presentation. You coming?

0:24:31 > 0:24:32What? Today?

0:24:32 > 0:24:35Poster's been up all week.

0:24:35 > 0:24:36Oh, I'm sorry, son. I forgot.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39Right.

0:24:39 > 0:24:40Everything OK?

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Course.

0:24:43 > 0:24:44Course. Look, I'd love to come,

0:24:44 > 0:24:47but I'm covering a class for Mr Clarkson. I'm sorry.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51No worries. Obviously got a lot on your mind.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00Have you spoken to her, then? Connor!

0:25:00 > 0:25:02I tried, but she was busy.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06Oh, let me take them for you.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08Wouldn't want you to strain yourself.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11- You told him? - I had to speak to someone.

0:25:11 > 0:25:12I was worried about you.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14It's nothing to be ashamed of.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17New life, it's a beautiful thing.

0:25:17 > 0:25:18It wasn't my test, you div!

0:25:19 > 0:25:22Well, so, if you're not preggers, who is?

0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Who do you think, Einstein?- His mum.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35You know, I'm just worried, she seemed really upset.

0:25:35 > 0:25:40Scout's been telling me about your anti-adoption campaign.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42This isn't a joke, Grantly.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45Of course. I know it can't have been easy for you to hear.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47The thing is, I've just spoke to Drew.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49You what? You told him?

0:25:49 > 0:25:52He had every right to know.

0:25:52 > 0:25:55This is Drew we're talking about, remember?

0:25:55 > 0:25:57If he gets out, he'll stop her.

0:25:57 > 0:26:02Well, actually, he's even more up for it than she is, apparently.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04But he were crazy about her, and the baby!

0:26:04 > 0:26:07Seems he can't control his temper

0:26:07 > 0:26:09and so they've added another year to his sentence

0:26:09 > 0:26:13and he's not even had the courage to tell Jade about it.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16Looks like we've all dodged a bullet there.

0:26:16 > 0:26:17We should tell Jade.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19She were terrified of what he might do.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21Let me talk to her first about it, please,

0:26:21 > 0:26:22before we all get carried away.

0:26:22 > 0:26:25Are you sure that's a good idea?

0:26:25 > 0:26:27I don't want you getting too involved.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29I don't want you getting hurt.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32There is no "too involved," Grantly.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34This is a family we're talking about.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36In employment terms, yes.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38Not as far as I'm concerned.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41These are as good as blood, and do you know something?

0:26:41 > 0:26:43I'm not going to stand around here and do nothing,

0:26:43 > 0:26:47even if that means adopting that baby myself.

0:26:53 > 0:26:54Yeah?

0:26:54 > 0:26:58Mrs Mulgrew's here, shall I send her in, or do you need a minute?

0:26:58 > 0:26:59No, no. Send her in, please, Sonya.

0:27:03 > 0:27:04All very formal.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09Have I done something wrong?

0:27:09 > 0:27:11No, I just wanted to check how you were.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15Great. You?

0:27:15 > 0:27:16Yeah, not bad.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18Good.

0:27:20 > 0:27:24I wanted to talk to you about a rumour that's been going around.

0:27:24 > 0:27:29- OK.- I overheard Connor talking to some of his friends.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31- Yes?- About you...

0:27:33 > 0:27:34..and a pregnancy scare.

0:27:37 > 0:27:38Right.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46That a problem?

0:27:46 > 0:27:47No, no, it's not a problem.

0:27:47 > 0:27:50It's not ideal, is it?

0:27:50 > 0:27:52Look, I just wanted to talk to you about it,

0:27:52 > 0:27:57particularly as it's more than likely me that's involved as well.

0:27:57 > 0:27:58More than likely.

0:28:00 > 0:28:02I thought we were careful, Christine.

0:28:02 > 0:28:06- KNOCK AT DOOR - Coffee?

0:28:06 > 0:28:07No thank you, Sonya.

0:28:07 > 0:28:08- Tea?- No!

0:28:13 > 0:28:15What happened?

0:28:15 > 0:28:16Nothing happened.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18You can relax, it was a false alarm.

0:28:18 > 0:28:20Just like us, apparently.

0:28:20 > 0:28:23But it's good to know you were so terrified at the prospect.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25I'm sorry if I overreacted.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28- KNOCK ON DOOR - I should go.- Christine...

0:28:28 > 0:28:30I'm sorry, I thought we had a meeting.

0:28:30 > 0:28:31Oh, no, it's OK.

0:28:31 > 0:28:33We're done here.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39Adoption? No way!

0:28:39 > 0:28:41When was she planning on telling us?

0:28:41 > 0:28:43She wasn't, that's the point.

0:28:43 > 0:28:45Look, you can't tell anyone else.

0:28:45 > 0:28:46Please, it's a secret.

0:28:46 > 0:28:49Maggie is going to sort it, just let her speak to her.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51Rhiannon, please?

0:28:52 > 0:28:55Jade? Can I have a word, pet?

0:28:55 > 0:28:57I've not come to shout at you again.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01I've got a little proposition.

0:29:07 > 0:29:10You and Mr Budgen? Are you serious?

0:29:10 > 0:29:12If you're serious about adoption,

0:29:12 > 0:29:16then why not with people that you know and trust?

0:29:16 > 0:29:17Erm...

0:29:17 > 0:29:21And you can change your mind, then, later, if you want to.

0:29:21 > 0:29:24I just don't think this will be the best thing for her, Maggie.

0:29:24 > 0:29:27It can't, no offence.

0:29:27 > 0:29:30It's no weirder than what you're trying to do, flower.

0:29:30 > 0:29:35WHY would you give up your baby?

0:29:35 > 0:29:38When there's an entire house filled with people

0:29:38 > 0:29:40who are willing to look after her?

0:29:40 > 0:29:42It's not the same, is it?

0:29:43 > 0:29:45She needs a normal family.

0:29:45 > 0:29:47A proper one.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49We ARE a normal family.

0:29:49 > 0:29:52If it's the shame of being a single mum...

0:29:52 > 0:29:54It's not that.

0:29:54 > 0:29:55You're not listening.

0:30:02 > 0:30:06Why don't you wait for Drew to get out?

0:30:06 > 0:30:08Before you decide.

0:30:08 > 0:30:10Try again with him.

0:30:10 > 0:30:13You really think he'd make a good dad after what he did?

0:30:13 > 0:30:15People can change, can't they?

0:30:15 > 0:30:17Especially when there's a little baby involved.

0:30:21 > 0:30:26And he's meant to be getting out in the next couple of months, isn't he?

0:30:26 > 0:30:29So, at least just wait until then, eh?

0:30:29 > 0:30:31Till after you've had the baby,

0:30:31 > 0:30:34before you make any rash decisions. Hmm?

0:30:38 > 0:30:41I'm going to need a hand setting up in the lecture theatre.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43I'll do it, Miss.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45Right, well, we'll be back soon.

0:30:45 > 0:30:46Just carry on with what you're doing.

0:30:53 > 0:30:56- I think we need a word, don't you? - Huh?- Rhiannon!

0:30:56 > 0:30:58What's all this crap about you

0:30:58 > 0:31:00- giving the baby away without telling us?- You told them?

0:31:00 > 0:31:02They were going to find out eventually.

0:31:02 > 0:31:05This doesn't just affect you. It affects all of us.

0:31:05 > 0:31:06I can't believe you did this!

0:31:06 > 0:31:08I was going to do a presentation this afternoon

0:31:08 > 0:31:10on how this class is like a family to me.

0:31:10 > 0:31:12Don't think I'll bother now. I were wrong.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14- You're not being fair. - And neither's she!

0:31:14 > 0:31:16She doesn't seem to care what anyone else thinks

0:31:16 > 0:31:19and from what I heard, she didn't even bother telling the dad.

0:31:21 > 0:31:23I had to tell her, she wouldn't leave me alone.

0:31:23 > 0:31:24So Drew knows as well?

0:31:24 > 0:31:26Yeah, but its OK, he's fine with it.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29Says it's up to you, cos he's got locked up for another year.

0:31:29 > 0:31:30What?

0:31:32 > 0:31:34Maggie was supposed to tell you.

0:31:34 > 0:31:36Isn't that what she came to talk to you about before?

0:31:38 > 0:31:39Oh, Jade!

0:31:45 > 0:31:47Maggie!

0:31:47 > 0:31:51Is it true you spoke to Drew and didn't tell me?

0:31:51 > 0:31:53I was going to tell you, love, I just...

0:31:53 > 0:31:55Didn't! You lied instead!

0:31:55 > 0:31:56I didn't want you to make a mistake.

0:31:56 > 0:32:00Stay away from me and my baby!

0:32:00 > 0:32:03# On my way

0:32:03 > 0:32:06# Falling down

0:32:10 > 0:32:15# I hide behind lies

0:32:15 > 0:32:18# And I'm safe

0:32:19 > 0:32:24# Every letter that you sent

0:32:26 > 0:32:32# Despite everything I've said... #

0:32:34 > 0:32:35She should be back by now!

0:32:35 > 0:32:38What if she's done a proper runner? It's all your fault, Rhiannon!

0:32:38 > 0:32:40Why are you so bothered anyway?

0:32:40 > 0:32:42Cos my parents binned me and my brother off

0:32:42 > 0:32:44and it didn't exactly make me feel great, did it?

0:32:44 > 0:32:45This is different.

0:32:45 > 0:32:48Jade's picked the people to look after her baby,

0:32:48 > 0:32:50instead of just sending her off to a bunch of foster homes.

0:32:54 > 0:32:57- Where's Jade? - She went to the nurse, Miss.

0:32:57 > 0:32:59She wasn't feeling very well.

0:32:59 > 0:33:02God, let's hope she not planning on dropping it on the premises!

0:33:05 > 0:33:07I knew I shouldn't have left you by yourself.

0:33:07 > 0:33:10It won't happen again. We'll make sure of it.

0:33:10 > 0:33:12I'm not going back there after this. They hate me now.

0:33:12 > 0:33:15After all that hard work you put into your presentation?

0:33:15 > 0:33:16Can't I hang out with you guys instead?

0:33:19 > 0:33:22People will worry, Jade. You saw what happened this morning.

0:33:22 > 0:33:25They only care about the baby. Not me.

0:33:25 > 0:33:28Well, we could come back to school with you, if you like?

0:33:28 > 0:33:30You need to show them that you've made your decision

0:33:30 > 0:33:32and you're proud of it.

0:33:32 > 0:33:35And if they think they can give you any more grief with us there,

0:33:35 > 0:33:36they've got another think coming.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45Hey, you made it!

0:33:45 > 0:33:48Think I'll miss the chance to see where all my money's being spent?

0:33:48 > 0:33:51- Well, I hope you'll be as impressed as I am.- Me too.

0:33:55 > 0:33:57Hey, where is Jade? She should've been here by now.

0:33:57 > 0:34:00She's probably got baby stuff to be dealing with.

0:34:04 > 0:34:06OK, take your seats.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10Thank you.

0:34:10 > 0:34:14OK, welcome to this afternoon's PRU presentation.

0:34:14 > 0:34:19What we're hoping to show you this afternoon is how a supportive

0:34:19 > 0:34:22learning environment can help pupils' confidence

0:34:22 > 0:34:26and it gives these guys a chance to tell you exactly what they've

0:34:26 > 0:34:28been doing in their own words.

0:34:30 > 0:34:33Now, we were due to begin with a performance from Jade Fleming

0:34:33 > 0:34:36but unfortunately she's not very well.

0:34:36 > 0:34:38So we will start with...

0:34:40 > 0:34:44I was just getting prepared, actually. Last-minute changes.

0:34:44 > 0:34:47I brought these guys. They've been helping me out.

0:34:48 > 0:34:51Sure.

0:34:51 > 0:34:53I'll tell you later.

0:34:53 > 0:34:55Is that them?

0:34:55 > 0:34:58Right, over to you, Jade.

0:34:58 > 0:35:02OK, well, I was going to do this rap about everything I've been

0:35:02 > 0:35:05through since I've been here, but turns out some of you think

0:35:05 > 0:35:09you know already, so I'm going to do a new one, a freestyle.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13RAPS: Cos I thought I had life sorted.

0:35:13 > 0:35:16Had it all worked out perfect, see, but then these people come and

0:35:16 > 0:35:19try change that, tell me how I think, and how it should really be.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21Had my house mum try and talk supportive,

0:35:21 > 0:35:25one big happy family, under one big roof but the fact is they're not

0:35:25 > 0:35:28always going to be there, can't be relied on to tell the truth.

0:35:28 > 0:35:30I worried about having to tell the baby's dad,

0:35:30 > 0:35:33think he might lose it, come after me, but the guy messed up

0:35:33 > 0:35:37more than I did, couldn't keep his temper check to keep himself free.

0:35:37 > 0:35:39So the truth is, you got to do your own thing,

0:35:39 > 0:35:43do what's right for you and yours and not them cos the PRU's about

0:35:43 > 0:35:47finding your own voice, having the confidence to have it heard again.

0:35:47 > 0:35:51APPLAUSE

0:35:55 > 0:35:57Excellent.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59Follow that, Rhiannon.

0:36:08 > 0:36:11This you come to say I told you so?

0:36:11 > 0:36:14Scout told me what happened with Jade.

0:36:14 > 0:36:17I would have told her about Drew eventually.

0:36:17 > 0:36:19You crossed the line when you phoned him.

0:36:19 > 0:36:21What were you thinking of?

0:36:21 > 0:36:24Look, I didn't want her to make the same mistakes I did.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27- What's so wrong with that? - It's not the same, is it?

0:36:27 > 0:36:30And it might not be a mistake for her.

0:36:30 > 0:36:34Anyway, it's Jade's mistake to make.

0:36:34 > 0:36:38You can disagree all you like but you can't stop her.

0:36:38 > 0:36:43I know that, all right, but it just breaks my heart, all right?

0:36:44 > 0:36:46All the things she's going to miss.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50Not seeing her little girl grow up.

0:36:52 > 0:36:54Come here.

0:36:55 > 0:36:58It's Jade that needs you now.

0:36:58 > 0:37:02No matter how much she pushes you away.

0:37:02 > 0:37:06No matter how painful it is.

0:37:06 > 0:37:10She's not going to want anything to do with us now.

0:37:10 > 0:37:17Of course she is. Just give her a bit time, eh, to calm down.

0:37:17 > 0:37:20I was just trying to protect her.

0:37:20 > 0:37:23That's what a decent parent does.

0:37:23 > 0:37:25To be there for them no matter what.

0:37:27 > 0:37:30So, why don't you go home...

0:37:30 > 0:37:31OK.

0:37:31 > 0:37:33..and make her a special tea?

0:37:33 > 0:37:36Yeah, show her how much she means to you.

0:37:40 > 0:37:42Thanks.

0:37:45 > 0:37:50As you can tell, today's trend for powerful female role models

0:37:50 > 0:37:54might seem like a recent one, but without the trailblazers of 19th

0:37:54 > 0:38:00century literature, like Jane Eyre and Elizabeth Bennett, and obviously

0:38:00 > 0:38:04the kick-ass female authors that created them, you wouldn't

0:38:04 > 0:38:09have any of your Hermione Grangers or Katniss Everdeens of today.

0:38:09 > 0:38:13APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:38:13 > 0:38:16You're doing some really great work here.

0:38:16 > 0:38:19She just needs to smash those exams, she's on her way to uni.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21I think you might be right.

0:38:21 > 0:38:24Great, Scout. Thanks very much.

0:38:24 > 0:38:26OK, next up is Connor.

0:38:26 > 0:38:29APPLAUSE

0:38:29 > 0:38:32Knew you could do it, kid. You did me proud.

0:38:32 > 0:38:34Couldn't have done it with you guys though.

0:38:34 > 0:38:38Looks like you two are the only two I can count on right now.

0:38:38 > 0:38:39I'm sure that's not true.

0:38:39 > 0:38:42It is. You've been really supportive and it means a lot.

0:38:44 > 0:38:45To us, too.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47We should go out tonight, celebrate.

0:38:47 > 0:38:49I could come back afterwards to your place.

0:38:49 > 0:38:50Erm...

0:38:50 > 0:38:53We might need to stay there for a little bit now, anyways.

0:38:53 > 0:38:55- Oh? - Well, at least until the baby's born.

0:38:55 > 0:38:58It's not like I can go back to the school house now after what

0:38:58 > 0:38:59Miss Budgen's done.

0:38:59 > 0:39:04- You said we should keep in contact. - I think I meant phone calls.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06But this is even better, right?

0:39:09 > 0:39:11We can talk about that later.

0:39:11 > 0:39:13You should catch the rest of the presentations.

0:39:17 > 0:39:20We can't do this, Kaz. We have to tell her.

0:39:20 > 0:39:22Not before it's done we don't.

0:39:22 > 0:39:24If she's had the courage to be honest about what

0:39:24 > 0:39:27goes on in her life, she deserves to know.

0:39:29 > 0:39:31Thanks and that's my presentation on Steam Punk.

0:39:31 > 0:39:34APPLAUSE

0:39:34 > 0:39:37That's great, Connor. Really interesting.

0:39:37 > 0:39:40OK, so, next up is Mr Barry.

0:39:40 > 0:39:42APPLAUSE

0:39:42 > 0:39:44Brace yourself.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48I guess I don't need no introduction.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51There's probably a lot you've heard about me already.

0:39:51 > 0:39:54I could stand here and tell you how I feel about this school

0:39:54 > 0:39:56but I thought I'd show you instead.

0:39:58 > 0:40:00Right, you, you, you up. Come on.

0:40:02 > 0:40:03Here we go.

0:40:10 > 0:40:13LAUGHTER

0:40:13 > 0:40:18So, these drawings represent my vision of the PRU's dirty half dozen

0:40:18 > 0:40:21and crack team of highly trained teachers sent in to

0:40:21 > 0:40:25turn this group of misfits into an award winning A-team.

0:40:25 > 0:40:29Led by their no-nonsense captain, The Boston Bruiser,

0:40:29 > 0:40:33putting the 'ard back into Bard, no mistake.

0:40:33 > 0:40:36And then we have the brains of the operation, The Byrne-imator,

0:40:36 > 0:40:40part man, part machine, and just when you think he's given up on you,

0:40:40 > 0:40:41"He'll be back."

0:40:41 > 0:40:43LAUGHTER

0:40:43 > 0:40:46The Benefactor, a hotshot entrepreneur determined to

0:40:46 > 0:40:50- turn the boardroom into anything but. - MOBILE PHONE RINGS

0:40:50 > 0:40:51Thanks, Barry.

0:40:51 > 0:40:56And we all know Corner Flag Clarkson and Betting Slip Budgen.

0:40:56 > 0:40:58LAUGHTER

0:40:58 > 0:41:01And last but not least, the Saintly Scientist.

0:41:01 > 0:41:04Now there's not that much to joke with her, really.

0:41:04 > 0:41:09Just to say that she makes you want to be a better person.

0:41:11 > 0:41:13Even when you mess things up from time to time.

0:41:16 > 0:41:19APPLAUSE

0:41:24 > 0:41:27All right, speak, then. Oh, hi.

0:41:27 > 0:41:32I'm not sure we've met. Lorraine Donegan. The benefactor.

0:41:32 > 0:41:34- Kaz Winters, friend of Jade's. - Right.

0:41:34 > 0:41:37- I've been helping her with her presentation.- Oh.

0:41:37 > 0:41:40- I was a music producer in a former life.- Oh, right.

0:41:40 > 0:41:42Well, you done a good job, you must be proud.

0:41:42 > 0:41:45Nothing she didn't have a natural talent for in the first place.

0:41:45 > 0:41:47Still, you gave her the inspiration to do it.

0:41:47 > 0:41:50Maybe you could come and talk to the kids some time.

0:41:50 > 0:41:53- Spread that talent of yours. - Sure, that would be great.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55Could even get you doing some teaching,

0:41:55 > 0:41:58although I can't promise to match the kind of salary you'd be used to.

0:41:58 > 0:42:03Tell you what, why don't you take my card, give us a call,

0:42:03 > 0:42:06we'll have dinner some time, see what we can come up with?

0:42:07 > 0:42:13- I'd like that, Lorraine, a lot. - Strictly business, you understand?

0:42:13 > 0:42:14- Course.- Kaz?

0:42:17 > 0:42:20- It's not what it looks like. - Yeah, actually it is.

0:42:20 > 0:42:24- What's going on? - I can't do this, Kaz.

0:42:25 > 0:42:28I won't. It's not fair.

0:42:30 > 0:42:32What are you talking about?

0:42:34 > 0:42:36Kaz and I are separated.

0:42:38 > 0:42:41We have been for the last six months.

0:42:41 > 0:42:44We just kept up the pretence for the sake of the adoption

0:42:44 > 0:42:48because you wanted it so much

0:42:48 > 0:42:51- and I did, too. - So, you lied to me?

0:42:51 > 0:42:54After everything I was going to do for you.

0:42:54 > 0:42:57It's not as bad as it looks, Jade. We can explain.

0:42:57 > 0:43:00- I trusted you. - I don't know what you two think you're playing at

0:43:00 > 0:43:03- but you're going to have to get off the premises.- Jade?

0:43:03 > 0:43:04Now!

0:43:09 > 0:43:11Jade, I know, but please just don't worry, yeah?

0:43:11 > 0:43:13Everything will be fine.

0:43:13 > 0:43:16- Looks like your secret plan fell through, then.- Rhiannon?

0:43:16 > 0:43:17Leave me alone, Rhiannon, please.

0:43:17 > 0:43:19Don't worry, I will, cos you can forget about us

0:43:19 > 0:43:22- helping you with the baby after this.- Rhiannon, shut it.

0:43:22 > 0:43:24Just leave me alone. I can't deal with it right now.

0:43:24 > 0:43:28Jade? Are you all right? Is it happening? Get help.

0:43:28 > 0:43:31Go on, move!

0:43:34 > 0:43:35- Mr Budgen?- Get out.

0:43:35 > 0:43:37No, you don't understand, we need you. It's Jade.

0:43:37 > 0:43:40- What happened?- She's ready to burst. - Eh?- The baby!

0:43:42 > 0:43:45Just remember to breathe.

0:43:45 > 0:43:47In, two, three. Out, two, three.

0:43:47 > 0:43:49In, two, three.

0:43:49 > 0:43:53- Out, two, three.- Where's the ambulance? It should be here by now.

0:43:53 > 0:43:55It'll be here in a minute. Don't worry.

0:43:55 > 0:43:57What if the baby comes first, then what?

0:43:57 > 0:44:00- I can't. I'm not ready. - Well, it's definitely coming.

0:44:00 > 0:44:05Just go and get some towels, Rhiannon, and plenty of hot water.

0:44:14 > 0:44:17Help me, please.

0:44:21 > 0:44:24SIRENS WAIL

0:44:25 > 0:44:28- Somebody help. - Find out where the ambulance is.

0:44:28 > 0:44:32- Help me. - We are, don't worry. You'll be fine.

0:44:36 > 0:44:38Good girl.

0:44:38 > 0:44:40Help me, please, Grantly, help me.

0:44:51 > 0:44:54Hurry up. She's having a baby!

0:44:54 > 0:44:57Look, she's really young and she's never had a baby before.

0:44:57 > 0:45:00She's in the library, all right? Come on.

0:45:04 > 0:45:07Looks like I might owe you an apology for today.

0:45:07 > 0:45:10No sweat, Miss. I'd have been worried if I were you.

0:45:10 > 0:45:15Well, you proved me wrong, so, I'm sorry. You did well.

0:45:15 > 0:45:17And those drawings were great. You've got real talent.

0:45:17 > 0:45:19- Yeah?- Yeah.

0:45:19 > 0:45:22You know that's the first time anyone's ever said anything

0:45:22 > 0:45:24good about me at school before.

0:45:24 > 0:45:27- Now I know you're taking the mick. - Yeah, course.

0:45:30 > 0:45:33Well, keep on track. I like the new you.

0:45:36 > 0:45:39- See you tomorrow, Miss.- Bye.

0:45:46 > 0:45:48Is she all right? I just heard.

0:45:48 > 0:45:49The paramedics can look after her now.

0:45:49 > 0:45:52You can't let her go by herself. You'll have to go with her.

0:45:52 > 0:45:55- Yeah, Grantly.- I'll call Maggie, get her to join you. Go on.

0:45:59 > 0:46:01You'll be all right.

0:46:11 > 0:46:14It went well.

0:46:15 > 0:46:18My presentation.

0:46:18 > 0:46:19Right.

0:46:21 > 0:46:23You OK?

0:46:24 > 0:46:28Well, I'm not pregnant if that's what you're getting at.

0:46:28 > 0:46:31Mr Byrne heard you and your friends talking about it earlier.

0:46:35 > 0:46:37What did he say?

0:46:37 > 0:46:40That doesn't matter.

0:46:40 > 0:46:42It's over between me and him, anyway.

0:46:44 > 0:46:47Sorry, Mum.

0:46:49 > 0:46:51Don't be.

0:46:54 > 0:46:56But you should have just spoken to me.

0:46:56 > 0:46:59I hope you know you can, anytime.

0:47:08 > 0:47:11I know...

0:47:11 > 0:47:13..about you and my dad.

0:47:14 > 0:47:17You don't have to hide it anymore.

0:47:20 > 0:47:22Hide what?

0:47:23 > 0:47:25That Joe isn't my real dad.

0:47:29 > 0:47:30That you were raped.

0:47:37 > 0:47:39How do you know?

0:47:41 > 0:47:45I heard you and Mr Byrne talking the night that Joe left,

0:47:46 > 0:47:48But it's OK, I understand.

0:47:48 > 0:47:52It's not OK. How can it possibly be OK?

0:47:52 > 0:47:55You were trying to protect me, I get that.

0:47:56 > 0:47:59I don't care who my real dad is, either.

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

0:48:07 > 0:48:10I'm sorry I never spoke to you, I'm sorry I didn't.

0:48:10 > 0:48:13- I'm sorry.- It's OK, Mum.

0:48:15 > 0:48:16It's OK.

0:48:33 > 0:48:36Excuse me, Jade Fleming?

0:48:36 > 0:48:38- That ward there.- Thank you.

0:48:51 > 0:48:54SHE MOUTHS

0:49:00 > 0:49:03Not exactly the end to the PRU presentation you had planned,

0:49:03 > 0:49:05I guess?

0:49:05 > 0:49:07No, sorry about that.

0:49:07 > 0:49:09Listen, don't apologise. Nikki, you done a great job.

0:49:09 > 0:49:13The kids, they seemed really engaged, energised.

0:49:13 > 0:49:16Well, hopefully it's just the beginning.

0:49:16 > 0:49:18You stuck with it. I admire that.

0:49:18 > 0:49:21- I wasn't exactly the PRU's biggest fan.- You don't say.

0:49:21 > 0:49:24But if you can achieve these types of results with

0:49:24 > 0:49:26a pupil like Barry, there's hope for them all.

0:49:26 > 0:49:28Boston Bruiser.

0:49:29 > 0:49:33Thanks, Lorraine. Good night.

0:49:33 > 0:49:34Night.

0:49:38 > 0:49:42She's had the baby and they're both going to be fine.

0:49:42 > 0:49:46- So what now? Do we get to keep it? - It's down to Jade, isn't it?

0:49:46 > 0:49:48- Don't see what choice she's got. - I can't wait.

0:49:48 > 0:49:51It'll be so cool to have a cute little kid around to play with.

0:49:51 > 0:49:55- Maybe for you, but what about Jade? - She needs to let me look after it.

0:49:55 > 0:49:57I'll show it what's what.

0:49:57 > 0:49:59We're not going to be around forever, you know?

0:49:59 > 0:50:03We'll be around to hear it screaming the house down.

0:50:03 > 0:50:05This isn't just some toy you can just pick up

0:50:05 > 0:50:07and forget about whenever you want, you know.

0:50:07 > 0:50:11- It's a baby. A proper commitment for life.- I know that.

0:50:11 > 0:50:13So, there's no point us enjoying having a cute little

0:50:13 > 0:50:15kid around if Jade doesn't want it, is there?

0:50:15 > 0:50:17She doesn't know what she wants. You saw what happened.

0:50:17 > 0:50:19It seemed pretty clear to me.

0:50:21 > 0:50:24She's amazing, Jade. Just look at her.

0:50:24 > 0:50:27I tried to feed her, but she didn't like it.

0:50:27 > 0:50:30It just takes a bit of practice, that's all. Get used to it.

0:50:30 > 0:50:34Yeah, I guess I will. Haven't got a choice in the matter, now.

0:50:34 > 0:50:36There's always a choice.

0:50:38 > 0:50:41It's what you always wanted, anyways. You should be happy.

0:50:41 > 0:50:44I was out of order today, Jade.

0:50:44 > 0:50:49I am so sorry. I've treated you really badly.

0:50:49 > 0:50:51Yeah, same as them.

0:50:53 > 0:50:55They faked the whole perfect couple thing.

0:50:55 > 0:50:58I wanted her to spend her first night in the world with

0:50:58 > 0:51:00the people that were going to bring her up.

0:51:00 > 0:51:03Not stuck with me or passed around until they found someone for her.

0:51:03 > 0:51:05I know, Jade, that was wrong

0:51:05 > 0:51:10but I guess it proves how badly that she wanted to be a mum.

0:51:12 > 0:51:14You can not fake that.

0:51:17 > 0:51:20- Stick.- Your mum not expecting you home, Imogen?- Not for a while.

0:51:20 > 0:51:23She's pretty relaxed about what I get up to, actually.

0:51:23 > 0:51:25- I'm going to stick, too. - Go on, twist.

0:51:27 > 0:51:29Oh, that's me out. Bust.

0:51:29 > 0:51:33- 21. Not enough for my killer moves, eh?- Brains and beauty, see?

0:51:35 > 0:51:37I just think I'll give you two some space.

0:51:37 > 0:51:41I was actually just about to walk Imogen home. See ya.

0:51:43 > 0:51:45See you, son.

0:51:51 > 0:51:54You've done all you can, love.

0:51:57 > 0:52:01Thanks for calling. I know how hard that must have been.

0:52:01 > 0:52:05I'm not promising anything, but we'll see.

0:52:07 > 0:52:11I know it's a lot for you to take in, Jade,

0:52:11 > 0:52:14but you need to think about this.

0:52:14 > 0:52:17I can see now that you're not ready to be a mother

0:52:17 > 0:52:20and I've had my go.

0:52:24 > 0:52:26So will you see her?

0:52:47 > 0:52:53I'm sorry for everything that happened today. I really am.

0:52:53 > 0:52:55Yeah, me too.

0:52:55 > 0:52:58And if I could do anything to go back and change things.

0:52:59 > 0:53:02Well, you can't. None of us can.

0:53:07 > 0:53:10Why couldn't you just be straight with me?

0:53:11 > 0:53:16Because you seemed to want the perfect home, the perfect couple.

0:53:16 > 0:53:19I don't think there's any such thing as perfect.

0:53:19 > 0:53:22Just good parents and bad ones.

0:53:38 > 0:53:40# Every now and then

0:53:40 > 0:53:44#I see a part of you I've never seen... #

0:53:44 > 0:53:48She's even more beautiful than I could have imagined, Jade.

0:53:50 > 0:53:52You can hold her if you want.

0:53:56 > 0:54:05# One of these days you'll realise What you mean to me, oh-oh-oh

0:54:05 > 0:54:10# Every now and then I see A part of you I've never seen... #

0:54:10 > 0:54:14- What's on your mind now? - Nothing, why?

0:54:14 > 0:54:16Cos you've hardly said a word since we set off.

0:54:16 > 0:54:18Got me thinking you were going to accuse me

0:54:18 > 0:54:20of being pregnant again, give me a weight complex.

0:54:20 > 0:54:22Not this time, promise.

0:54:22 > 0:54:26I was thinking about you, actually

0:54:26 > 0:54:28and us getting married.

0:54:28 > 0:54:30What?

0:54:30 > 0:54:31Well, we love each other, right?

0:54:31 > 0:54:33Yeah, but...

0:54:33 > 0:54:36So, why not spend the rest of our lives together?

0:54:37 > 0:54:39As long as we keep it between ourselves, yeah?

0:54:39 > 0:54:42- Just the two of us. - I thought no more secrets?

0:54:42 > 0:54:45I just don't want anyone to come between us again.

0:54:45 > 0:54:48As long as I get to be with you, that's all that matters.

0:54:48 > 0:54:53# So, if you ever love somebody

0:54:53 > 0:54:57# You gotta keep them close

0:54:57 > 0:55:01# When you lose grip Of their body... #

0:55:04 > 0:55:08I better give her back. I could get used to this.

0:55:08 > 0:55:11Maybe you should...

0:55:13 > 0:55:14..get used to it.

0:55:16 > 0:55:20You keep her. She looks happy with you, where she belongs.

0:55:25 > 0:55:29You won't regret this, Jade, I promise.

0:55:33 > 0:55:37I'll contact the agency, as long as I'm not hated for it.

0:55:38 > 0:55:41Course not, pet, don't be daft.

0:55:41 > 0:55:44We will all support you, no matter what.

0:55:51 > 0:55:53Do you want some time alone with her?

0:55:54 > 0:55:59# Days fading into memories

0:55:59 > 0:56:04# Pick another way for me to grow

0:56:04 > 0:56:10# Eyes set upon the ceiling

0:56:10 > 0:56:15# Watching as the cracks explode... #

0:56:15 > 0:56:19'Cos this isn't a goodbye, my little baby, just a see you soon

0:56:19 > 0:56:21'if that's OK.

0:56:21 > 0:56:24'Cos when you're all grown up and ready, I really hope you'll

0:56:24 > 0:56:28'want to see me again that day then I'll finally get a chance to

0:56:28 > 0:56:33'say how much I loved you, and wanted this to turn out some other way.

0:56:33 > 0:56:38'But the truth is I'm just not ready, don't think I ever was,

0:56:38 > 0:56:40'and that's OK.

0:56:40 > 0:56:42'Cos one day we can finally meet again,

0:56:42 > 0:56:45'when I'm done with all my growing up here, too.

0:56:45 > 0:56:49'And in the meantime, if I can find someone else who loves you,

0:56:49 > 0:56:51'even if it's just by themselves and not as two,

0:56:51 > 0:56:54'then surely that's the best place for you to be right now,

0:56:54 > 0:56:57'and the right thing for me and for you.'

0:57:01 > 0:57:04# Free

0:57:04 > 0:57:08# If you will let me be

0:57:08 > 0:57:11# Free to see... #

0:57:15 > 0:57:18Come on, Waterloo Road. Get stuck in!

0:57:18 > 0:57:20Where's my name? Sir?

0:57:20 > 0:57:22- You won't be play in the match this afternoon.- What?

0:57:22 > 0:57:23This is serious now, Tom.

0:57:23 > 0:57:26Waterloo Road are in the cup final, Kacey Barry is not.

0:57:26 > 0:57:27Let me take you for a coffee.

0:57:27 > 0:57:30I'm just starting to be the mother Connor deserves.

0:57:30 > 0:57:32Let me just concentrate on that for now.

0:57:32 > 0:57:35You're not like any other lad I've ever met.

0:57:35 > 0:57:38- So you're a girl? - Did I say I was a boy?

0:57:38 > 0:57:39Well, you've got to be one or the other.

0:57:39 > 0:57:42He might reckon it's his job to follow the law

0:57:42 > 0:57:44but it's mine to do what's right by these kids.

0:57:44 > 0:57:47Tom, don't do anything you'll regret.

0:57:47 > 0:57:50I'm suspending you pending an enquiry into your behaviour.
