0:00:02 > 0:00:06- Keep your eye on the ball! Yes!- Well done!

0:00:06 > 0:00:08She's some player!

0:00:08 > 0:00:10- One of yours! - It's not feminine, is it?

0:00:10 > 0:00:13What? You want me to be like her? All lippy and boobs?

0:00:13 > 0:00:16It's one thing having a kick about with your big brother,

0:00:16 > 0:00:17but all those lads in the changing room?

0:00:17 > 0:00:21I was thinking about you actually, and us...getting married.

0:00:21 > 0:00:25- What?!- Why not? Spend the rest of our lives together!

0:00:26 > 0:00:28Those drawings were great! You've got real talent.

0:00:28 > 0:00:31That's the first time anyone's said anything good about me

0:00:31 > 0:00:34- at school before.- Well, keep on track. I like the new you.

0:00:34 > 0:00:35See you tomorrow, Miss.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38I overheard Connor talking to some of his friends about you

0:00:38 > 0:00:43and a pregnancy scare. I thought we were careful, Christine.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46You can relax, it was a false alarm, just like us, apparently,

0:00:46 > 0:00:49but it's good to know you were so terrified at the prospect.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51- I should go.- Christine!

0:01:14 > 0:01:17# Can't stand the heat in the kitchen

0:01:17 > 0:01:19# From what I've been wishing

0:01:19 > 0:01:22# I'm fearing the truth will now out

0:01:23 > 0:01:24# If I can't believe it

0:01:24 > 0:01:26# Then what now I've seen it...

0:01:26 > 0:01:27'Kacey!'

0:01:27 > 0:01:29# No reason to shout...

0:01:29 > 0:01:30Just a minute!

0:01:30 > 0:01:33Kacey, come on! Get a move on!

0:01:33 > 0:01:37# The fe-fe-fe-fe-feeling grows

0:01:37 > 0:01:41# The fe-fe-fe-fe-feeling grows

0:01:41 > 0:01:43# The fe-fe-fe-fe-feeling grows

0:01:43 > 0:01:48# The fe-fe-fe-fe-feeling grows...

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Kacey!

0:01:51 > 0:01:53We're going to be late!

0:01:59 > 0:02:00What are you doing in there?!

0:02:00 > 0:02:02SHE GROANS

0:02:02 > 0:02:05I give up! I'll see you at school!

0:02:05 > 0:02:09# The fe-fe-fe-fe-feeling grows

0:02:09 > 0:02:13# The fe-fe-fe-fe-feeling grows

0:02:14 > 0:02:17# The fe-fe-fe-fe-feeling grows

0:02:17 > 0:02:19# Why won't you admit

0:02:19 > 0:02:20# You keep feeling the same?

0:02:20 > 0:02:22# I can't keep calling the shots

0:02:22 > 0:02:24# I've given all that I've got

0:02:24 > 0:02:26# See, we're more than just friends

0:02:26 > 0:02:28# Do you want it to end...

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Hey, who is that?

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Oh, you mean "our Kacey?"

0:02:32 > 0:02:35# The fe-fe-fe-fe-feeling grows... #

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Careful you don't fall off that thing!

0:02:37 > 0:02:39You can't get injured before the big cup final!

0:02:39 > 0:02:42Since when do you care about school football?

0:02:42 > 0:02:43Hey, you're me kid sister.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46If you care about the team, well, then I care about it.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Oi, Kace! Think fast!

0:02:50 > 0:02:52This is going to be an easy match!

0:02:52 > 0:02:53St Dominic's won't know what hit them!

0:02:53 > 0:02:57- They got to the final without dropping a single goal.- Who cares?

0:02:57 > 0:02:59In a few hours' time we'll be bringing back that trophy!

0:02:59 > 0:03:02Oh, well, if it happens, it won't be thanks to you.

0:03:02 > 0:03:06Everyone knows you losers couldn't win a game without her.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Whatever.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Barry, why'd you have to do that?!

0:03:11 > 0:03:14Truth hurts, Kace. He knows you'll either make or break that game.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16We're a team!

0:03:16 > 0:03:19I was thinking of running a book, taking a few bets.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23You know everyone's going to put money on Waterloo Road to win.

0:03:23 > 0:03:24Yeah, cos we will win.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27And if we don't, guess who'll be quids in?

0:03:27 > 0:03:30It's like I said! They can't win without you.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34Maybe, you could have a bad day at the office.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Accidentally...on purpose.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39I knew you wouldn't let me down.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46- We've got a problem. - Well, it is a day ending in Y.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49I was just having a nice cup of rosie, bickie,

0:03:49 > 0:03:51little relax before the start of the day...

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Yeah, I do hope this is meandering towards a point at sometime.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56..when I realised that I hadn't filled in the paperwork

0:03:56 > 0:03:59that the league cup organiser sent over for the footie team.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02It's not an issue, we'll e-mail them before the match.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Thing is, formal guidelines on sports participation.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Check out clause 2.5.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Girls ain't allowed to play on mixed teams after 14.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Kacey's already 15, ain't she?

0:04:14 > 0:04:15Yes, thank you, Sonya.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19The association reckon they sent the paperwork through to Mr Clarkson

0:04:19 > 0:04:20at the start of the season.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Morning. Hey.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Eh, listen, I know you've got a lot on your plate,

0:04:24 > 0:04:25but we're a linesman short later on.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Couldn't put the word out, could you?

0:04:27 > 0:04:30I think we might have a little more luck if it came from you.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33Formal guidelines? This is serious now, Tom.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Well, eh, you knew about this from the start.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39It's not just about building Kacey's confidence, it's gone too far now.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41It doesn't change anything now. We're in the cup final.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44Waterloo Road are in the cup final. Kacey Barry is not.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46- Are you serious? - She's off the team. End of story.

0:04:46 > 0:04:47End of story?

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Kacey's been through a group stage, two knockout rounds

0:04:50 > 0:04:51and months of training for this.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53I'm more than aware how hard Kacey has worked.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Are you? She's done everything we've asked of her.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59Kept her head down. Now you're going to snatch it away from her.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01I can speak to her if you prefer that?

0:05:01 > 0:05:05No. The least I owe her is to tell her myself.

0:05:05 > 0:05:09It's my team. At least I thought it was.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Hey, little man? Fancy a flutter on the game?

0:05:16 > 0:05:17I don't know.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20Come on. You do want Waterloo Road to win, don't you?

0:05:20 > 0:05:22Barry, can I have a quick word?

0:05:22 > 0:05:24I just wanted to let you know

0:05:24 > 0:05:27that we'll be seeing a lot less of each other from now on.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Yeah?- I met with Mr Byrne yesterday and we both agreed,

0:05:30 > 0:05:33you've made enough progress to be taken off special measures.

0:05:33 > 0:05:37- Seriously?- Well, don't look so surprised. You deserve it.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40But report to the PRU as normal this morning, OK?

0:05:40 > 0:05:44Oh, Barry. Keep your nose clean.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Think she'll be so buddy-buddy

0:05:48 > 0:05:50when she finds out you've been taking money off of kids?

0:05:50 > 0:05:53And how are you coming up with cash for Dad's lawyers?

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Yeah, I didn't think so.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58So that's the stairway, and upstairs we have Maths.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Yeah, very funny. I've been in the PRU, not Mars.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02I'm just helping you get your bearings back.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05It's good to have you back with the rest of us.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Here, come here.- What're you doing?

0:06:10 > 0:06:14Right, I was going to wait until after school to give you this but...

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Open it.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21It's second-hand, but I spent all last night cleaning it.

0:06:21 > 0:06:27It's beautiful, but I think people might notice

0:06:27 > 0:06:29if I'm swanning around wearing that.

0:06:29 > 0:06:30Who cares if they notice?

0:06:30 > 0:06:33They're going to find out soon enough anyway.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36I just like keeping it between us. Why do we have to shout about it?

0:06:36 > 0:06:37Cos we're in love.

0:06:37 > 0:06:41Because the whole point of getting married is to shout about it.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Hey, Gen. I can count on you to come up to the game later?

0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Who's Gen?- It's short for Imogen.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51He thinks it's funny cos I hate it.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54St Dominic's have a mega following, so let's make sure we do too, yeah?

0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Go Waterloo Road.- You hate football.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59It's not about football, it's about supporting the school.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01Nice one, Gen.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Glad to see you made friends when I was gone.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09I got stuck with him as a chemistry partner the other day.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11He's actually a pretty good laugh.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Hmm. See you later, Gen.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Connor, wait. Connor!

0:07:18 > 0:07:22Excuse me. Excuse me. Calm down.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24There's enough room for everyone.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30Yes! Not that I'm surprised.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33It'd be a crime to rob the world of this talent.

0:07:33 > 0:07:34- What the hell is that doing up? - I got picked.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37It must be a typo. I'm kidding.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Is something wrong?- I haven't had a chance to tell Kacey yet.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42Where's my name? Sir?

0:07:45 > 0:07:47There's no easy way of saying this.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49You won't be playing in the match this afternoon.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52- What? But Sir?- If it was up to me...

0:07:52 > 0:07:55It is up to you. You're our manager. You pick the team.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58- I don't make the rules. - You mean it's because I'm a girl?

0:07:58 > 0:08:01Mr Byrne has decided that he can't go against regulations.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03That's not fair.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Munch, what's up?

0:08:05 > 0:08:08I won us the semifinals and the quarters.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10And I've scored in every single group match.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14And you're right. It's not fair.

0:08:14 > 0:08:15I'm sorry.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Calm down, yeah?

0:08:18 > 0:08:20I have to play. I have to.

0:08:20 > 0:08:21You knew it had to end sometime.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24You can't play with the boys your whole life, can you?

0:08:24 > 0:08:26And what would you know about it?

0:08:26 > 0:08:28# Expertise on air guitar

0:08:32 > 0:08:35# So your fingers never bleed... #

0:08:38 > 0:08:39Kacey?

0:08:40 > 0:08:44- Who are you?- Zoe. From the BMX forum.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46You go here?

0:08:46 > 0:08:48As of today, yeah.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Do you want to get out of here?

0:08:53 > 0:08:55Yeah.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Must have missed the shout, "Bring out your dead."

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Stick to your class of reprobates

0:09:06 > 0:09:08and leave the humour to those better suited.

0:09:11 > 0:09:15Tom, I just heard about Kacey. I'm so sorry.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18It's her you should feel sorry for. She's given everything to that team.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20And what if she had broken her leg or something,

0:09:20 > 0:09:22cos she's not as strong as the lads?

0:09:22 > 0:09:23Why let a kid follow their passion

0:09:23 > 0:09:25when there's health and safety to consider?

0:09:25 > 0:09:28Morning, everyone. If I could have your attention for just a sec?

0:09:28 > 0:09:31I know that lunch time is your own time so there's no pressure.

0:09:31 > 0:09:32Here we go.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35But I'd like to see as many of you as possible out there

0:09:35 > 0:09:36to support the football team.

0:09:36 > 0:09:40Why not fit us for nosebags and scrap lunch altogether?

0:09:41 > 0:09:43We're also looking for an extra linesman,

0:09:43 > 0:09:45so if any of you would like to volunteer?

0:09:47 > 0:09:48Grantly?

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Thank you. That's a lovely gesture.

0:09:54 > 0:09:55THEY LAUGH

0:09:57 > 0:09:59OK, grab a Bunsen burner and get into pairs.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05Here you are, mate, this one's for you.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Eh, if you'd rather work with someone else...

0:10:07 > 0:10:12No, it's not you. It's Imogen. I think she's gone off me.

0:10:12 > 0:10:13- Oh, come on.- No, I'm serious.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15I bought her something I'd put a lot of thought into

0:10:15 > 0:10:17and she just knocks it back.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19And then she's being all flirty with Jack.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21- All the girls are flirty with Jack. - Not Imogen.

0:10:21 > 0:10:22Well, if she's having doubts,

0:10:22 > 0:10:26and I'm not saying she is, maybe you need to fight for her.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Fight? How? She already knows how much she means to me.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32Just show her you're better than lover boy over there.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35I hope you're moving with some sort of scientific purpose, Jack.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Of course, Mrs Diamond.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40- Eh, Robbie Hays had to pull out the match.- Great.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Now we've got no star striker and no goalie for the game.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45Of course we've got a star striker, what are you talking about?

0:10:45 > 0:10:46I'll do it.

0:10:48 > 0:10:49HE LAUGHS

0:10:49 > 0:10:52What? Just cos I haven't played before doesn't mean I can't.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54Jack, back to your seat, please.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58You sure about this?

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Yeah, whatever it takes.

0:11:00 > 0:11:04So all that extreme sport stuff they talk about in the forum,

0:11:04 > 0:11:06you really into it?

0:11:06 > 0:11:07Yeah, aren't you?

0:11:07 > 0:11:12I like BMXing and skateboarding when I get the chance, but...football.

0:11:13 > 0:11:19It sounds small, but when I'm on that pitch nobody can stop me.

0:11:19 > 0:11:20It's like...

0:11:22 > 0:11:23No, go on, please.

0:11:24 > 0:11:29It's like flying. Like I'm free. You know what I mean?

0:11:31 > 0:11:34You're so different to how I imagined you.

0:11:34 > 0:11:35Yeah?

0:11:35 > 0:11:39I mean, you're not like any other lad I've ever met.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45Erm, did I say I was a boy?

0:11:45 > 0:11:48- I don't think I did, but, I mean, maybe...- Oh, OK.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51- If I did, then...- No, you didn't.

0:11:51 > 0:11:59I guess I just assumed and then I saw you with the football.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01So you're a girl?

0:12:03 > 0:12:04I've got to go.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07No, don't. It doesn't matter, not really.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12I can't believe you really thought I was a boy.

0:12:17 > 0:12:21So what do people do for fun around here?

0:12:23 > 0:12:27Take a seat, turn to act two, please.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Tom, a quick word?

0:12:31 > 0:12:33Quietly.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37I thought you should know Kacey Barry hasn't turned up

0:12:37 > 0:12:39for either of her classes this morning.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42Right. I had a feeling something like this might happen.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46Look, I don't think Michael realises how much this match means

0:12:46 > 0:12:47to these kids. Kacey especially.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50You knew she couldn't play football with the boys for ever.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52It might have been an idea to prepare her a bit.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55- What I should have done is told him where to stick his rules.- Tom.

0:12:55 > 0:12:59I'm serious. He reckons it's his job to follow the letter of the law

0:12:59 > 0:13:02but it's mine to do what's right by these kids.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Tom, don't do anything you'll regret.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Why can't I hit anything?

0:13:12 > 0:13:13Here.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17BELL RINGS

0:13:17 > 0:13:18Ha, yes!

0:13:18 > 0:13:21I thought you were supposed to be the sporty type?

0:13:21 > 0:13:22For the record,

0:13:22 > 0:13:27if we were go-karting or rafting or cycling right now, I'd be winning.

0:13:27 > 0:13:28Now you really are kidding.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30You think a lot of yourself, don't you?

0:13:30 > 0:13:32When there's reason to.

0:13:32 > 0:13:36Then you won't mind if I pick what we do next?

0:13:36 > 0:13:38Seeing as you're so good at everything.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41Come on, you can win me a teddy bear.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Well, it's not ideal,

0:13:43 > 0:13:45but Sonya dug this out of the bowels of the PE cupboard.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48- What's this?- Grantly's volunteered to run the line at the game later.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51I'll look like a stick of liquorish in that.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54Well, we all have to do our bit, Grantly.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57Maybe we should find you a nice pair of cycling shorts to go with it?

0:13:57 > 0:14:00Lucky you're not hung-over, eh?

0:14:00 > 0:14:01Hung-over?

0:14:01 > 0:14:04Word of advice, Grantly. Don't play out on a school night.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07Or if you do, learn to hide it better.

0:14:10 > 0:14:11I didn't see you with anything stronger

0:14:11 > 0:14:13than a cup of tea last night.

0:14:13 > 0:14:17You can't keep track of my every move, try as you might.

0:14:20 > 0:14:21Sian filled you in about Kacey?

0:14:21 > 0:14:24Yeah, I'll deal with Miss Barry when she reappears.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26You do realise that it's your decision that's led to this?

0:14:26 > 0:14:28A decision that you've forced me to make.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30Well, I've got a free period next.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32I was going to drive into town, see if I could find her.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Good idea.- I just wanted to get your permission first.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37In case leaving school during teaching hours

0:14:37 > 0:14:39is against regulations.

0:14:39 > 0:14:40Look, just find her.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45Guess whose boyfriend has made the footie team?

0:14:45 > 0:14:48He means him? What happened, they need a mascot or something?

0:14:48 > 0:14:50- Goalie, actually.- Oh, right.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53What about the study group? We've got a meeting at lunch time.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55I thought this is what you wanted?

0:14:55 > 0:14:58For you to turn into a meathead. Why would you think that?

0:15:02 > 0:15:03What is up with you today?

0:15:03 > 0:15:07Me? You're the one who's had a personality transplant.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Are you getting cold feet, is that it?

0:15:10 > 0:15:12Look, talk to me.

0:15:14 > 0:15:15I...

0:15:17 > 0:15:19Right. Got it.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Trouble in paradise?

0:15:24 > 0:15:28More like trouble with me. Why can't I just say what I mean?

0:15:28 > 0:15:30Cos you're a human being.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32Helpful.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Look, if you can't tell him how you feel,

0:15:34 > 0:15:37eh...why don't you find a way to show him?

0:15:40 > 0:15:42You're a genius, do you know that?

0:15:42 > 0:15:44Oh, aye, Mensa here I come.

0:15:44 > 0:15:48Did that make you happy? Me thinking you were a boy?

0:15:48 > 0:15:49Is that weird?

0:15:49 > 0:15:54No. I mean, it's different, but everyone's different.

0:15:54 > 0:15:55Look at me.

0:15:55 > 0:15:59I'm a girl who likes extreme sports, can't stand cooking,

0:15:59 > 0:16:00hates watching TV.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02People have thought I'm a freak my whole life.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04Really?

0:16:04 > 0:16:07People will get it, you know? A lot of them might even be cool.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09Yeah, right.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12I'm serious. Everyone's got their thing.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14This is just your thing.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16Just?

0:16:16 > 0:16:18OK, so it's not JUST anything.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21But I like you for who you are and that's it.

0:16:22 > 0:16:26And if I think that, why wouldn't other people?

0:16:26 > 0:16:32The thought of everyone knowing, it's, I don't know, scary.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Scary how?

0:16:36 > 0:16:41When people think I'm a boy, it doesn't feel like pretending.

0:16:41 > 0:16:46The bit where I'm correcting people, going into the girls' loos,

0:16:46 > 0:16:49that's the bit when I'm not being real.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56Oi! Enjoying our little outing, are we?

0:16:56 > 0:16:59I think we better go and see Mr Byrne, don't you?

0:16:59 > 0:17:00Come on.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06Zoe, I know it's your first day but I'm sure that you're aware

0:17:06 > 0:17:10- attendance is a prerequisite of being a pupil here.- Yes, Sir.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12And if you're hoping to get off to a good start

0:17:12 > 0:17:14then I'm afraid you've failed. Who's her form tutor?

0:17:14 > 0:17:18Mr Chalk. I'll have a word. Make sure he knows to keep an eye.

0:17:18 > 0:17:19Right. Off you go.

0:17:22 > 0:17:23As for you, Kacey...

0:17:23 > 0:17:26Please, sir? Just let me play, I'll do anything.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29This is about your education, this is not football.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34I'm afraid I've no choice but to put you back in the PRU.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36- What?- Would you take her back down there, Mr Clarkson?

0:17:36 > 0:17:38Inform Miss Boston, please.

0:17:38 > 0:17:39Come on.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43This is ridiculous.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Are you sure about this?

0:17:48 > 0:17:49The PRU wasn't designed

0:17:49 > 0:17:52to be held over the pupils' heads as a punishment.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55Kacey was only brought back into the mainstream on a probationary basis.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58It seems entirely appropriate to send her back to the PRU.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01Even though she's been improving steadily in the mainstream?

0:18:01 > 0:18:03There's no evidence of that based on today.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Barry's also been improving, by the way.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07That's something we might jeopardise

0:18:07 > 0:18:09by putting him and Kacey back together again.

0:18:10 > 0:18:14Well, I just hope this doesn't knock them both back to square one.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18This is so stupid.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20I've been playing as a lad for months and no-one's cared.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23I belong on that team, you know I do.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Byrne's the only one making this into a big deal.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27Well, unfortunately, he's the man in charge.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29Now, come on, let's get this over with.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31- Miss?- Yeah?

0:18:31 > 0:18:33Is it all right if I take a copy of Romeo And Juliet

0:18:33 > 0:18:36- back to the school house for Jade? - Yes, good idea, Jodie.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38In fact, come back to me at the end of the day

0:18:38 > 0:18:42and I'll get together a pack together of everything she needs.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44Swot!

0:18:48 > 0:18:51All right, carry on with your quiet study time.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53I thought we got rid of her?

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Looks like she's back in the special unit, then.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02I was hoping not to see you in here again.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04You think I want to be here?

0:19:04 > 0:19:05Oi, mouth.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08Look, with a bit of hard work, it's only temporary.

0:19:08 > 0:19:09And why should I bother doing that?

0:19:09 > 0:19:12All right, enough, Kacey.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14Now, you need to catch up so you'll need to stay with me

0:19:14 > 0:19:16in the PRU at lunch time.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18You mean I don't even get to watch the football?

0:19:18 > 0:19:19That's a bit over the top, isn't it?

0:19:19 > 0:19:22None of you care, do you? About what I want.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25About how I feel. I just wanted one day.

0:19:25 > 0:19:26One day to try and...

0:19:26 > 0:19:27SHE YELLS

0:19:27 > 0:19:29- Kacey!- For goodness' sake!

0:19:31 > 0:19:33- It's fine. I'm all right. - Let me see.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38I better take her down to the nurse, just in case.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40Yeah.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43Well, looks like Michael made the right decision.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50I didn't know we were hiring.

0:19:50 > 0:19:54Connor's been picked for the footie team.

0:19:54 > 0:20:00I just thought it'd be nice to show some support.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03Well, as the team's new number one fan,

0:20:03 > 0:20:07I hope you won't be baying for my blood over Kacey Barry as well?

0:20:07 > 0:20:10Hardly. Everyone wants to win this match, Michael,

0:20:10 > 0:20:12but the rules are the rules.

0:20:14 > 0:20:17Well, that's the oranges, juice, water.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20That should keep the little tykes energised in the second half.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22I'm sure you've got everything under control, Maggie.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24Not checking up on us, then?

0:20:24 > 0:20:26No.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40I'm glad I caught up with you.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43We didn't really get a chance to talk, not properly.

0:20:47 > 0:20:48Coffee?

0:20:51 > 0:20:52Let me buy you a coffee.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59I'm just starting to be the mother Connor deserves.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02Let me just concentrate on that for now.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06And, eh, you and him are good?

0:21:08 > 0:21:12- Better than we have been in a really long time.- Great.

0:21:13 > 0:21:14You deserve it.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21BELL RINGS

0:21:26 > 0:21:29Hey. What's the verdict on the hand?

0:21:29 > 0:21:31A bit bruised, that's all.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Still match-fit, if that's what you're asking.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Look, Kacey...

0:21:35 > 0:21:37"If there's anything I can do I would." Whatever!

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Do you think this match means any less to me than it does to you?

0:21:39 > 0:21:41It must, or you wouldn't let Byrne do this.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43Seeing you lot rise to the challenge,

0:21:43 > 0:21:46that's the best thing I've done since I've got here.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49We can't give up now. We just can't.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52If you play and we get caught, we'll get disqualified.

0:21:52 > 0:21:53I don't care, we've got to try.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56There's a chance that Mr Byrne won't allow a football team next term

0:21:56 > 0:21:59and definitely not one with me and you involved.

0:21:59 > 0:22:00Bringing that cup home, though.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03I've never been good at anything in my whole life.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06All everyone's seen me as is just another useless Barry,

0:22:06 > 0:22:08but I can do this.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10I can win this match for us, I swear.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12You know you want it too.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18You better get that hand wrapped tight.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21We don't want it getting knocked during the game.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23- Yes!- We need the rest of the team to agree to it first.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26They'll agree. They want to win, don't they?

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Come on, Waterloo Road.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34Right, lads. Gather in.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38We have to make everyone believe that Kacey's a lad,

0:22:38 > 0:22:39like the rest of you.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42Isn't that what we've been doing all tournament?

0:22:42 > 0:22:44Yeah, but now Mr Byrne isn't on side.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46So if we get caught out, we could face disqualification.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49- We have to be ready for that. - So you're going to let her play?

0:22:49 > 0:22:51If everyone's in agreement, yeah.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54Well, she's scored in every game so far. We need her.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56- Yeah?- Yeah.

0:22:56 > 0:22:57Right, then.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00Now, we've all seen St Dominic's play, we know how strong they are.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03Tight in defence. Dangerous in attack.

0:23:03 > 0:23:04But we are better than them.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07Better on the pitch and better up here.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10Cos we're a team. Thinking and operating as one unit.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12Looking out for each other. Supporting each other.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14That's the only way to show them what we're made of

0:23:14 > 0:23:17and bring that trophy where it belongs. And where's that?

0:23:17 > 0:23:18ALL: Waterloo Road.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20- Can't hear you! - ALL: Waterloo Road!

0:23:20 > 0:23:22- Where? - ALL: Waterloo Road!

0:23:22 > 0:23:24Let's get out there. Let's do it.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28If Mr Byrne sees you, let me handle it, all right?

0:23:28 > 0:23:30Go get changed.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32CROWD CHEERS

0:23:32 > 0:23:35Come on, lads. Get warm. Focus.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39Come on, Kace, you can do this.

0:23:39 > 0:23:43Michael not here, then? I hope you know what you're doing.

0:23:43 > 0:23:44Yeah, my job. Jack?

0:23:48 > 0:23:52Her and Scout probably stopped off for some munchies or something.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00Go Kacey.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03I'm not interested in any stupid final, let alone take tips from you.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06- Keep your mouth shut, yeah?- Oh, I get it. This thing's totally bent.

0:24:06 > 0:24:07Is there something going on here?

0:24:07 > 0:24:10Just a friendly discussion. You know what it's like.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12He's scamming everyone left, right and centre,

0:24:12 > 0:24:14taking bets on the football game,

0:24:14 > 0:24:16but only if they put money on Waterloo Road to win.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18- Is this true? - No way. Compulsive liar, that one.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20I know what you're like.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22You wouldn't bet unless you thought you could win.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25Is Kacey in on this? Is she going to throw the game?

0:24:25 > 0:24:27Rhiannon, go inside.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31Hand it over.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35It wasn't a request.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40- Turn out your pockets. - You what?- Now.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43Come one, Miss. You know you don't want to do this.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45I will be going through this list

0:24:45 > 0:24:48and returning the money to its rightful owners.

0:24:48 > 0:24:49- You can't do that.- Watch me.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51You can report to me at registration tomorrow.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54- You're back on special measures. - Why bother taking me off?

0:24:54 > 0:24:55Because I believe in you, Barry.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57I just wished you believed in yourself.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59And if what Rhiannon says is true

0:24:59 > 0:25:00and you have involved your sister in this,

0:25:00 > 0:25:03I suggest you think about how much she means to you

0:25:03 > 0:25:05and about how much this game means to her.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10CROWD CHEER

0:25:13 > 0:25:16- Afternoon.- Afternoon.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21Captains? Captains?

0:25:25 > 0:25:26Go on.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34Shake hands.

0:25:34 > 0:25:35Heads or tails?

0:25:35 > 0:25:36Heads.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Heads it is.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42We'll have this side. You can have kick off.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44We've got centre, lads. Let's do this.

0:25:44 > 0:25:46Come on, boys. CHEERING

0:25:46 > 0:25:48Christine?

0:25:49 > 0:25:51Shouldn't you be at the game?

0:25:51 > 0:25:54I'm just on my way there now, but I wanted to talk to you first.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57I think I owe you an apology for earlier.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59Michael...

0:25:59 > 0:26:03Look, just hear me out. I was very forward.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05I pushed.

0:26:05 > 0:26:09But I want you to know that I'm willing to move at your pace,

0:26:09 > 0:26:10whatever that is.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14Do you think he'll like it?

0:26:14 > 0:26:17Once we've finished, all the boys will want one.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20Are those two an item or what?

0:26:20 > 0:26:24I don't think so. Looks like they want to be though.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27Maybe someone else is having trouble saying how they really feel.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36Come on, Waterloo Road. Get stuck in.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42CHEERING

0:26:44 > 0:26:46You look more nervous than they do.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48I remember being in the cup final when I was at school.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50I got so nervous I couldn't stop throwing up.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Did you win?- Let's hope it's second time lucky, eh?

0:26:56 > 0:26:57How are you?

0:27:04 > 0:27:06You've got to be joking me!

0:27:06 > 0:27:08Come on. Talk to each other.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11Can you please tell me what you think you're doing?

0:27:11 > 0:27:14Helping these kids achieve something. What are you doing?

0:27:14 > 0:27:15The game's already kicked off.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17There's not much we can do about it now.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19Unless you want to punish the whole team.

0:27:23 > 0:27:26To Jack. To Jack.

0:27:26 > 0:27:27Go on, Kacey.

0:27:30 > 0:27:31CHEERING

0:27:37 > 0:27:43Oh, Imogen. It's so masculine. Really intense, just like me.

0:27:43 > 0:27:45- SHE GIGGLES - Leave it out.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47I'll wear it for ever.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52Don't take this the wrong way

0:27:52 > 0:27:55but maybe you're just better off buying Connor something?

0:27:55 > 0:27:58No, it has to be more personal than that.

0:27:58 > 0:27:59An IOU's personal.

0:27:59 > 0:28:02This is important, Scout. I really messed things up.

0:28:04 > 0:28:08Well done, lads. Make sure you get something to eat and drink.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11You were great out there. Seriously.

0:28:11 > 0:28:15Kace? What I said earlier about the betting and that...

0:28:15 > 0:28:18Just ignore me, yeah? You play your heart out.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25Well, I'd love to hear you justify

0:28:25 > 0:28:27going against my specific instructions?

0:28:27 > 0:28:29I don't need to justify it. I broke the rules.

0:28:29 > 0:28:30Went against your authority.

0:28:30 > 0:28:33Kacey's finally engaged with the school. Invested in it.

0:28:33 > 0:28:36Football's done that, not the iron fist.

0:28:36 > 0:28:39- You won't get an apology out of me. - Right, I need to see you later on.

0:28:42 > 0:28:47OK, look, I'm just going to come out with it, because someone has to.

0:28:47 > 0:28:51I mean...is he really worth it after everything he did?

0:28:51 > 0:28:55- We've put all that behind us now. - Are you sure?

0:28:55 > 0:28:56We have.

0:28:56 > 0:29:00I'm just saying, cos if someone had hurt me like that

0:29:00 > 0:29:02I'd want to see what other lads had to offer.

0:29:02 > 0:29:05Hurting me was the worst thing that ever happened to him.

0:29:05 > 0:29:09I swear, you don't know what it did to him.

0:29:09 > 0:29:13He really loves me, Scout. And I really love him.

0:29:16 > 0:29:17CHEERING

0:29:18 > 0:29:21- Not long now.- Yeah.

0:29:23 > 0:29:28Close him down. Close him down!

0:29:35 > 0:29:37CHEERING AND GROANING

0:29:43 > 0:29:46Come on. Heads up, Waterloo Road.

0:29:46 > 0:29:47Come on, Kacey.

0:29:47 > 0:29:50Shouldn't you step in before we have to call an ambulance?

0:29:50 > 0:29:53Why don't you take a breather? You look like you can do with it.

0:29:53 > 0:29:57Grantly Budgen is a lot of things, but he is not a quitter.

0:29:57 > 0:29:58Since when?

0:29:58 > 0:30:00Come on, lads.

0:30:02 > 0:30:05That's it, Waterloo Road. Come on.

0:30:16 > 0:30:18Go Kacey.

0:30:23 > 0:30:25CHEERING

0:30:26 > 0:30:28WHISTLE BLOWS

0:30:29 > 0:30:31CHEERING

0:30:35 > 0:30:37You did it.

0:30:39 > 0:30:42- What do you think you're doing, you perv?- What?

0:30:42 > 0:30:44Get your filthy hands of my sister.

0:30:44 > 0:30:46MURMURING

0:30:46 > 0:30:49- She's a girl? - She doesn't look like a girl.

0:30:56 > 0:30:57Sir? What should we do?

0:30:57 > 0:31:00You go back to school. I'll handle this, all right?

0:31:00 > 0:31:01That's bang out of order.

0:31:01 > 0:31:05Kacey? What was all that about?

0:31:05 > 0:31:08I wasn't supposed to... they found out.

0:31:08 > 0:31:10Not that. You and Zoe?

0:31:10 > 0:31:13I don't know what that was.

0:31:13 > 0:31:15You know you can talk to me?

0:31:15 > 0:31:20I mean, if you and her are... you can say.

0:31:21 > 0:31:22I've got to go.

0:31:30 > 0:31:33Connor? Connor, wait?

0:31:33 > 0:31:35I need to talk to you.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40I haven't got cold feet, I promise.

0:31:40 > 0:31:44The last thing I want to do is call anything off.

0:31:44 > 0:31:45Then why knock the ring back?

0:31:45 > 0:31:48Why flirt with Jack and not come up to see me play?

0:31:48 > 0:31:50I wasn't flirting with Jack.

0:31:50 > 0:31:54I missed you when you were in the PRU, that's all.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56I didn't knock the ring back.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58I love the ring, but...

0:32:00 > 0:32:02But what?

0:32:02 > 0:32:04I just got so freaked out at the thought of everyone knowing.

0:32:04 > 0:32:07Why? Everyone's going to be pleased for us.

0:32:07 > 0:32:09My mum won't be.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12I haven't told her we're seeing each other again,

0:32:12 > 0:32:16let alone planning to...you know. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier.

0:32:18 > 0:32:20I got this totally wrong, didn't I?

0:32:20 > 0:32:26I think we have to work on this communication thing.

0:32:26 > 0:32:28I made you this.

0:32:28 > 0:32:31I had to get Scout to help me cos I was so useless, but...

0:32:31 > 0:32:33It's great.

0:32:33 > 0:32:36I thought I could maybe wear the ring on my necklace,

0:32:36 > 0:32:39just till I get Mum on side.

0:32:39 > 0:32:40Seriously?

0:32:40 > 0:32:45From now on, I promise to be honest with what's bothering me.

0:33:01 > 0:33:05Well, I know we said we would treat you like one of the lads, but...

0:33:05 > 0:33:06THEY LAUGH

0:33:06 > 0:33:09- Sorry, I...- No, no. I mean, stay here all you want.

0:33:09 > 0:33:12There's not much to see here anyway, is there?

0:33:15 > 0:33:17I'll just...

0:33:17 > 0:33:24# Are your secrets mine to hide inside?

0:33:24 > 0:33:27# Cos it might be my

0:33:27 > 0:33:34# The frozen lake where we walk

0:33:34 > 0:33:38# Is gonna change

0:33:38 > 0:33:42# In the thaw, I know

0:33:42 > 0:33:45# It's just a lake of

0:33:45 > 0:33:48# And I wanna be someone

0:33:48 > 0:33:53# Who makes you feel beautiful

0:33:53 > 0:33:56# I wanna be someone

0:33:56 > 0:33:59# Who does

0:33:59 > 0:34:02# I wanna be someone... #

0:34:04 > 0:34:06You think you're such a big man, don't you?

0:34:06 > 0:34:07Aw, just do one, lezza.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10Kacey needs your support, not your mindless prejudice.

0:34:10 > 0:34:12Look, I can see how you'd get the wrong end of the stick.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14A girl playing football.

0:34:14 > 0:34:18Short hair and all that, but Kacey's normal.

0:34:18 > 0:34:21- She's not a freak like you.- You really don't understand her, do you?

0:34:21 > 0:34:23Don't talk to me about my family.

0:34:23 > 0:34:25It's not about who she wants to sleep with.

0:34:25 > 0:34:26It's about who she is inside.

0:34:26 > 0:34:30What you on about - who she is? No-one knows Kacey better than me.

0:34:30 > 0:34:33Really? And do you know that inside she's not a girl at all?

0:34:33 > 0:34:34Oi!

0:34:34 > 0:34:35What did you say?

0:34:35 > 0:34:38You heard me.

0:34:38 > 0:34:41Haven't you made enough of a nuisance of yourself today?

0:34:41 > 0:34:44I think you should report to Mr Clarkson, don't you?

0:34:44 > 0:34:46Go on.

0:34:48 > 0:34:53As for you two miscreants, five minutes to cool down that temper

0:34:53 > 0:34:55before you head back to class.

0:34:56 > 0:34:58You. Kacey get changed. Now!

0:35:03 > 0:35:06I still don't understand why I'm the one having to defend myself here.

0:35:06 > 0:35:08Because you're the one who's been causing trouble

0:35:08 > 0:35:09all morning, that's why.

0:35:09 > 0:35:11I know what it looked like between me and Kacey,

0:35:11 > 0:35:14but she'd never have done that if it wasn't for him.

0:35:14 > 0:35:15- Done what?- Pushed me away.

0:35:15 > 0:35:18To be honest, it's more your attitude that I'm bothered about.

0:35:18 > 0:35:21Day one, skipping school, disruptive behaviour.

0:35:21 > 0:35:23- Someone had to put him in his place. - Put Barry in his place?

0:35:23 > 0:35:25I can tell you haven't been here that long.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28It's all very good that you want to stand up for yourself,

0:35:28 > 0:35:31but why don't you try keeping your nose clean for, say, a few hours.

0:35:31 > 0:35:35- Can I go see Kacey, please? - This is a school. Not a social club.

0:35:35 > 0:35:39Please? I want to tell her that it's OK. I understand.

0:35:39 > 0:35:41You're losing me a bit here, Zoe.

0:35:41 > 0:35:44No, you get it. You're one of the only ones that does.

0:35:44 > 0:35:45What?

0:35:45 > 0:35:48You've been letting her play as a boy for ages.

0:35:48 > 0:35:51Pity other people weren't so enlightened.

0:35:51 > 0:35:53She needs people like us.

0:35:53 > 0:35:55People who accept her for who she really is.

0:35:58 > 0:36:03All right. Now that you're all here, let me just say this.

0:36:03 > 0:36:07Attendance at this school is not optional.

0:36:07 > 0:36:10You do not duck out whenever you fancy it.

0:36:10 > 0:36:13I've heard of somewhere like that. What is it?

0:36:13 > 0:36:15Oh, yeah, prison.

0:36:16 > 0:36:20Kacey has proved today that she hasn't understood this basic rule.

0:36:20 > 0:36:23So I can only presume that the rest of you haven't either.

0:36:23 > 0:36:26- Oh, here we go.- What are we getting dragged into it for?

0:36:26 > 0:36:28She's the one that bunked off.

0:36:28 > 0:36:29We're a unit.

0:36:29 > 0:36:33And if one person steps out of line then they let the whole unit down.

0:36:33 > 0:36:34So not fair.

0:36:34 > 0:36:37I get it. It's supposed to teach us about loyalty.

0:36:37 > 0:36:41Yeah, loyalty and responsibility, amongst other things.

0:36:43 > 0:36:44Right, on your feet.

0:36:47 > 0:36:51On your feet. In a line. File out.

0:36:53 > 0:36:57If I come back with sweat patches, I'm going to kill you.

0:36:57 > 0:36:58Now.

0:37:01 > 0:37:03Her tears fell with the dews at even

0:37:03 > 0:37:06Her tears fell ere the dews were dried

0:37:06 > 0:37:08She could not look on the sweet heaven

0:37:08 > 0:37:11Either at morn or eventide.

0:37:13 > 0:37:14Thank you, Imogen.

0:37:14 > 0:37:15KNOCK ON DOOR

0:37:19 > 0:37:22Now, all continue reading, please. In peace.

0:37:22 > 0:37:24Sorry.

0:37:26 > 0:37:28They were like that in study group earlier.

0:37:28 > 0:37:31So I've been thinking, and I've come up with a plan.

0:37:31 > 0:37:32Whoa, wait a minute.

0:37:32 > 0:37:35I thought maybe we could book them a table at a restaurant.

0:37:35 > 0:37:37- Find some way to get them both there...- No, not a good idea.

0:37:37 > 0:37:39Come on, they obviously like each other.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42Look, I know you're trying to help but Mum's just not ready.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44She's not ready to be happy?

0:37:44 > 0:37:47I don't want her getting hurt again, especially not by him,

0:37:47 > 0:37:49the way he acted last week.

0:37:49 > 0:37:52Look, I'm sure she'll be happy to know you're looking out for her,

0:37:52 > 0:37:55but she's a grown woman, Connor.

0:37:55 > 0:37:58You can't look after her for ever.

0:37:58 > 0:38:01Besides, he's not bad looking. For an older guy.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03Yeah?

0:38:03 > 0:38:06Come on, Rhiannon. The slower you go, the longer it will flipping take.

0:38:06 > 0:38:08Don't blame me, it's not my fault.

0:38:08 > 0:38:10Less of the chat, please. Head outside.

0:38:10 > 0:38:13Start doing laps of the playground. Kacey, hang on.

0:38:15 > 0:38:18You want to talk to me about anything?

0:38:18 > 0:38:19Like what, Miss?

0:38:21 > 0:38:24Look, I know I'm not as touchy-feely as some of the others here,

0:38:24 > 0:38:26but I'm hard on you for a reason.

0:38:26 > 0:38:29I want to push you so that you'll do better.

0:38:29 > 0:38:32I do care, you know?

0:38:32 > 0:38:36You can talk to me about anything. Any time.

0:38:40 > 0:38:42Can I just join the others?

0:38:43 > 0:38:45No, actually.

0:38:45 > 0:38:48Go and clear out the stationery cupboard and then go upstairs

0:38:48 > 0:38:51and put a textbook on every desk.

0:38:51 > 0:38:53Here's the key code. Go on.

0:38:53 > 0:38:56Yes, Miss.

0:38:58 > 0:39:00BELL RINGS

0:39:04 > 0:39:05My footie star.

0:39:05 > 0:39:07It's a shame you couldn't see me play.

0:39:07 > 0:39:09It was actually not that bad.

0:39:09 > 0:39:12I was there in spirit. Backing you all the way.

0:39:12 > 0:39:15I know there's been a lot going on lately.

0:39:15 > 0:39:18Well, that's certainly one way of putting it.

0:39:18 > 0:39:22But me and you, we're OK. I mean, I'm here for you whatever.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25All I want is for you to be happy.

0:39:25 > 0:39:28Connor, you're a good boy.

0:39:30 > 0:39:32Are you happy then, Mum?

0:39:32 > 0:39:35As long as me and you are back on track, that's all that matters.

0:39:35 > 0:39:37Yeah, but that can't be your whole life.

0:39:37 > 0:39:40For now, it can. It's going to take me a while to make things up to you

0:39:40 > 0:39:43and until I do, you are my priority.

0:39:43 > 0:39:45So you're going to put everything on hold for me?

0:39:45 > 0:39:49Connor, where is this coming from? You don't have to worry about me.

0:39:50 > 0:39:53- See you at home then?- Yes.

0:40:00 > 0:40:03- Well?- So what's this plan of yours?

0:40:07 > 0:40:09Sir?

0:40:09 > 0:40:11Imogen, what can I do for you?

0:40:11 > 0:40:13Sir, I was wondering if we could have a chat after school.

0:40:13 > 0:40:15It's kind of sensitive.

0:40:15 > 0:40:18- OK, no problem. - Your office, end of period six?

0:40:18 > 0:40:20Sure.

0:40:25 > 0:40:27Stage one complete.

0:40:39 > 0:40:40DOOR SLAMS AND LOCKS

0:40:42 > 0:40:44Is it true, Kace?

0:40:45 > 0:40:48Did you tell that Zoe you were a boy?

0:40:48 > 0:40:50- I didn't tell her... - She made you. Is that it?

0:40:50 > 0:40:52Maybe it makes her feel better for fancying girls

0:40:52 > 0:40:55- if she can make out you're a boy. - It wasn't like that.

0:40:55 > 0:40:57Then what? What was it like?

0:41:00 > 0:41:02You want the truth?

0:41:10 > 0:41:11What've you done?

0:41:14 > 0:41:16I learned how to do it on a website.

0:41:17 > 0:41:20A website? What?

0:41:20 > 0:41:22I didn't even know I was looking for it

0:41:22 > 0:41:24and then I was going on it all the time and...

0:41:24 > 0:41:26Don't say anything else.

0:41:26 > 0:41:29It's about how to make yourself pass as a boy.

0:41:29 > 0:41:33- So this is like some experiment, yeah? Some prank?- No!

0:41:33 > 0:41:35Well, what is it then?!

0:41:37 > 0:41:41It's who I am. I can't help it.

0:41:44 > 0:41:46Are you a lezza? Is that it?

0:41:46 > 0:41:50It's got nothing to do with that. It's about me.

0:41:50 > 0:41:53My body. It's not right and it's not mine.

0:41:53 > 0:41:57- Today was supposed to be some sort of test.- What?

0:41:57 > 0:42:01To see if I could really do it. Be who I am, properly.

0:42:06 > 0:42:10This is my fault. Always letting you tag along with me.

0:42:10 > 0:42:13Treating you like one of the boys. No wonder you got confused.

0:42:13 > 0:42:16But we're going to fix this, Kace. We're going to make it better.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18You want to be normal, don't you?

0:42:18 > 0:42:19I just want to be me.

0:42:19 > 0:42:21Right.

0:42:21 > 0:42:23What're you doing?

0:42:23 > 0:42:25You're a girl and I'm going to prove it.

0:42:27 > 0:42:29Somebody help!

0:42:30 > 0:42:31Look at me!

0:42:31 > 0:42:33SCREAMING

0:42:33 > 0:42:34Somebody! Help me! Help!

0:42:38 > 0:42:41- Barry, get off her. Open this door! - Look at me.

0:42:41 > 0:42:42BATTERING ON WINDOW

0:42:42 > 0:42:45Barry! Barry, stop it.

0:42:47 > 0:42:49Barry, turn round and open this door.

0:42:49 > 0:42:51I can't open the door, he's locked it. Barry, stop it.

0:42:51 > 0:42:53- Come here!- Tom?- Stand back.

0:42:58 > 0:43:01I'm not a girl. I'm a boy!

0:43:02 > 0:43:06I mean, I... It's not how it...

0:43:06 > 0:43:09- You, in the cooler! Now! - Get off me! Just get off!

0:43:12 > 0:43:15- Let's get her out of here.- Come on.

0:43:23 > 0:43:27Years of abuse to this old body and then what to do you do, eh?

0:43:27 > 0:43:31You volunteer to be a linesman. What possessed you?

0:43:32 > 0:43:36Might have been a bit... Bit gung ho.

0:43:36 > 0:43:39I do think I might be coming down with something.

0:43:40 > 0:43:42Could be flu.

0:43:42 > 0:43:45Man flu, you mean. There's little Jade, eh?

0:43:45 > 0:43:49Coming back to school tomorrow, barely a week after giving birth,

0:43:49 > 0:43:52and here's you - moaning about having the sniffles.

0:43:52 > 0:43:55Good job I've got you to keep me on my toes, isn't it?

0:43:55 > 0:43:59Isn't it? Come on, let's get you home.

0:43:59 > 0:44:02If you're lucky and you play your cards right,

0:44:02 > 0:44:04I'll make you a hot toddy.

0:44:05 > 0:44:08An offer no sane man could refuse.

0:44:14 > 0:44:17- Where is Kacey now? - With Sian in pastoral care.

0:44:17 > 0:44:20Tom, do you have any idea how damaging it could be for a girl

0:44:20 > 0:44:23who's confused about her gender to feel pressured into

0:44:23 > 0:44:25behaving like a boy for the sake of a football match?

0:44:25 > 0:44:29Yes, I do. Look, if I had any idea that Kacey was feeling that way

0:44:29 > 0:44:31then obviously I would never have done it. None of us would.

0:44:31 > 0:44:34You were the one who allowed the situation to escalate

0:44:34 > 0:44:36by putting your own agenda before a pupil's needs.

0:44:36 > 0:44:39I honestly thought that I was doing what was best for Kacey.

0:44:39 > 0:44:40Well, you weren't.

0:44:40 > 0:44:43Kacey has a potentially very difficult journey ahead of her

0:44:43 > 0:44:45and this is the last thing that she needs.

0:44:45 > 0:44:47And I'm going to do whatever I can to make it up to her.

0:44:47 > 0:44:50Support her in any way that I can with this.

0:44:50 > 0:44:53I'm sorry, but I don't think that's going to be possible.

0:44:53 > 0:44:56I'm suspending you pending an enquiry into your behaviour.

0:44:56 > 0:44:57What? Come on.

0:44:57 > 0:45:01Tom, I'm sorry, but I think it's best that you don't finish the day.

0:45:01 > 0:45:05For the record, it was never just about the winning.

0:45:08 > 0:45:11We will work with an educational psychologist

0:45:11 > 0:45:13and support you however we can.

0:45:13 > 0:45:16We're going to make sure you get the help you need with this.

0:45:16 > 0:45:20Help me? I don't even know what THIS is.

0:45:20 > 0:45:24You heard Barry, he thinks I'm a freak.

0:45:24 > 0:45:26It might take some people a bit of time.

0:45:26 > 0:45:30They're my family, and Mum will be ten times worse.

0:45:30 > 0:45:33I can't... There's no way.

0:45:34 > 0:45:38Maybe I can be normal. If I tried really hard at it.

0:45:38 > 0:45:40I don't have to be like this.

0:45:41 > 0:45:43Sorry to interrupt.

0:45:43 > 0:45:47I was just reassuring Kacey that we're here, whatever she needs.

0:45:47 > 0:45:49- Whenever she needs it. - I don't think I can do this.

0:45:49 > 0:45:52No-one thought you could play football either

0:45:52 > 0:45:53but you proved them wrong.

0:45:53 > 0:45:56Do you know what I think?

0:45:56 > 0:45:59I think you can do anything you put your mind to.

0:46:02 > 0:46:04I owe you an apology.

0:46:05 > 0:46:08If I had known you were feeling like this, there is no way

0:46:08 > 0:46:10I would have asked you to play as a boy.

0:46:10 > 0:46:12You didn't make me. I wanted to.

0:46:12 > 0:46:14Well, I pushed you. It wasn't fair.

0:46:14 > 0:46:17From now on, no-one's going to make you do anything

0:46:17 > 0:46:18that you're not ready for.

0:46:20 > 0:46:23What if I end up alone?

0:46:23 > 0:46:24That will not happen. OK?

0:46:25 > 0:46:28I was going to act as Kacey's pastoral care mentor,

0:46:28 > 0:46:29but if you'd rather?

0:46:29 > 0:46:32- No, you go ahead. - Where are you going?

0:46:33 > 0:46:36If you need anything, Mrs Diamond knows how to get in touch with me.

0:46:36 > 0:46:39- Tom?- I'm sure it's only temporary.

0:46:39 > 0:46:42Sir?

0:46:42 > 0:46:44You did the right thing.

0:46:46 > 0:46:48Thanks for letting me play.

0:46:49 > 0:46:51You're very welcome.

0:46:53 > 0:46:57# We used to be closer than this

0:46:57 > 0:47:02# We used to be closer than this

0:47:02 > 0:47:06# We used to get closer than this

0:47:06 > 0:47:09# Is it something you... #

0:47:09 > 0:47:11Sitting in silence isn't going to help anyone.

0:47:15 > 0:47:19Barry, it's natural to feel thrown by this.

0:47:20 > 0:47:24Bottling up your feelings. Lashing out.

0:47:31 > 0:47:33How's Kacey?

0:47:33 > 0:47:38Confused and frightened, but she's tough. How about him?

0:47:40 > 0:47:42Silent.

0:47:44 > 0:47:46Maybe you'll have more luck.

0:47:52 > 0:47:54BELL RINGS

0:47:54 > 0:47:56I heard about her, she's a freak.

0:48:00 > 0:48:02MURMURING AND LAUGHING

0:48:11 > 0:48:12LAUGHING

0:48:12 > 0:48:14Leave her alone.

0:48:14 > 0:48:17Kace? Kacey?

0:48:17 > 0:48:20- Sir?- Now's not the time, boys. We need your help, Sir.

0:48:20 > 0:48:22It's about Kacey.

0:48:24 > 0:48:28I've just told Kacey we'll support her however we can.

0:48:29 > 0:48:31Same goes for you, Barry.

0:48:31 > 0:48:34Obviously this isn't going to be easy

0:48:34 > 0:48:36but I know how much she means to you.

0:48:36 > 0:48:37HE LAUGHS SOFTLY

0:48:39 > 0:48:41She?

0:48:41 > 0:48:42Excuse me?

0:48:42 > 0:48:45How much she means to me.

0:48:45 > 0:48:47My sister, yeah?

0:48:48 > 0:48:50Not some freak.

0:48:50 > 0:48:53Using that kind of language isn't going to help anybody.

0:48:53 > 0:48:56You think I'm just going to watch her turn into some joke

0:48:56 > 0:48:58and say nothing?

0:48:58 > 0:48:59Act like everything's all right?

0:48:59 > 0:49:02To be honest, I don't really think you're going to have much choice.

0:49:02 > 0:49:05She's always going to be your family.

0:49:06 > 0:49:12She's nothing to me. She does this. Blackens our name.

0:49:12 > 0:49:15Has everyone talking about us. Saying things.

0:49:17 > 0:49:19- She might as well be dead. - Calm down.

0:49:19 > 0:49:23Don't tell me what to do. You don't know me.

0:49:23 > 0:49:26I know that you're desperate to prove you're a man

0:49:26 > 0:49:28but this kind of behaviour, it just proves the opposite.

0:49:30 > 0:49:32You think I'm not a man?

0:49:35 > 0:49:37I'm a boy, am I?

0:49:40 > 0:49:42Am I a boy to you?

0:49:47 > 0:49:49I've kept you long enough. You can go.

0:49:52 > 0:49:55Thank you, Miss.

0:50:06 > 0:50:08Can I borrow you for a minute?

0:50:08 > 0:50:11- Actually, Sir, I just want... - It won't take long, I promise.

0:50:21 > 0:50:22What's all this?

0:50:22 > 0:50:26Well, we didn't want you to rush off without giving you this.

0:50:26 > 0:50:28The match ball?

0:50:28 > 0:50:30The man of the match.

0:50:30 > 0:50:31You OK with that?

0:50:31 > 0:50:33- Man of the match?- You deserve it.

0:50:33 > 0:50:37It's like Mr Clarkson said, we're a team, we look out for each other.

0:50:37 > 0:50:38Says the fella who'd never even played

0:50:38 > 0:50:40a game of footie before today.

0:50:40 > 0:50:42And nearly saved every ball that St Dominic's got on target.

0:50:42 > 0:50:44It's a hidden talent.

0:50:46 > 0:50:47Thanks.

0:50:47 > 0:50:50Thanks? You don't think you're getting off that easy, do you?

0:50:50 > 0:50:52Three cheers for Kacey. Hip, hip...

0:50:52 > 0:50:54ALL: Hooray.

0:50:54 > 0:50:55- Hip, hip. - ALl: Hooray.

0:50:55 > 0:50:56- Hip, hip. - ALL: Hooray.

0:50:56 > 0:50:58THEY APPLAUD

0:51:02 > 0:51:04I was just on my way out when they nabbed me.

0:51:04 > 0:51:06It's a very heartening sight.

0:51:06 > 0:51:09You've certainly galvanised them into a team.

0:51:09 > 0:51:10That was always the plan.

0:51:12 > 0:51:16Look, the football association have called me.

0:51:16 > 0:51:20- We are being stripped of the win. - I'll let them know.

0:51:20 > 0:51:22No, leave it until tomorrow.

0:51:22 > 0:51:26I think they deserve to feel like winners for one night, don't you?

0:51:29 > 0:51:32And then this time next week,

0:51:32 > 0:51:34you can begin thinking about next season.

0:51:34 > 0:51:37Well, I'm not sure I'll be here next week, will I?

0:51:37 > 0:51:42Tom, rules are rules and they're there for a reason,

0:51:42 > 0:51:45but I think these kids would be a lot worse off without someone

0:51:45 > 0:51:47who was willing to break them now and then.

0:51:47 > 0:51:50Is that your way of saying, "I'll see you in the morning"?

0:51:50 > 0:51:52Don't be late.

0:52:02 > 0:52:04You look like you've had a long day.

0:52:04 > 0:52:06Well, aren't they all?

0:52:06 > 0:52:09This one seems to have sorted itself out.

0:52:09 > 0:52:11Even if we won't have our name on that trophy.

0:52:11 > 0:52:13It would have been nice, but...

0:52:13 > 0:52:16It's not all about the winning, is it?

0:52:16 > 0:52:19Anyway, thanks for stopping in, but I have a pupil meeting me

0:52:19 > 0:52:21here any minute now.

0:52:21 > 0:52:23Then why did you ask to see me?

0:52:23 > 0:52:25I didn't.

0:52:25 > 0:52:28Well, I think you did. You left this on my desk.

0:52:28 > 0:52:30That's not my handwriting.

0:52:36 > 0:52:37Which pupil are you expecting?

0:52:37 > 0:52:39Imogen.

0:52:40 > 0:52:44Imogen. Connor must have written this with his left hand.

0:52:44 > 0:52:45The little...

0:52:47 > 0:52:50So we've been had, is that what you're saying?

0:52:51 > 0:52:53CREAKING

0:52:53 > 0:52:56Oh, the plot thickens.

0:53:11 > 0:53:13A dinner reservation for two.

0:53:13 > 0:53:16It's quite a nice Italian, as it happens.

0:53:16 > 0:53:18So you think we should play along, do you?

0:53:18 > 0:53:21Well, they do seem to have gone to an awful lot of bother.

0:53:21 > 0:53:24It would be rude just to throw it back in their faces.

0:53:24 > 0:53:27Yeah, and it has been a very long day.

0:53:31 > 0:53:35I don't suppose there's any notes in there to pay for dinner?

0:53:36 > 0:53:38No.

0:53:38 > 0:53:42Remind me to give my son a stern talking-to when I get home.

0:53:47 > 0:53:51Sorry if I made everything worse. Kissing you like that.

0:53:51 > 0:53:54You didn't. It just took me by surprise, that's all.

0:53:54 > 0:53:56I just...

0:53:56 > 0:54:03- I like you and I was proud of you and I thought...- It was nice.

0:54:04 > 0:54:11But I don't think... I don't think I'm ready for that kind of thing.

0:54:11 > 0:54:12Kissing you mean?

0:54:12 > 0:54:15With anyone, for probably a while.

0:54:15 > 0:54:18I just think I need to get used to be being me first.

0:54:22 > 0:54:26I don't think I could have handled any of today if it wasn't for you.

0:54:30 > 0:54:32So...what now?

0:54:34 > 0:54:37No idea.

0:54:37 > 0:54:39Kace? I'll walk you home.

0:54:40 > 0:54:41Mind my nails.

0:54:51 > 0:54:53See you around?

0:54:53 > 0:54:55Guaranteed.

0:55:06 > 0:55:08Do you think they've ordered yet?

0:55:08 > 0:55:11What do you think they're going to have to eat?

0:55:11 > 0:55:14Lasagne and chips followed by a candlelight kiss?

0:55:14 > 0:55:17I've not really thought about it. Not sure I want to.

0:55:17 > 0:55:19Oh, sorry. I wasn't thinking.

0:55:19 > 0:55:24Guess it would be pretty awkward having Mr Byrne as your new dad.

0:55:24 > 0:55:28As long as he treats my mum better than my real dad did.

0:55:28 > 0:55:31You've not really mentioned him since he visited.

0:55:31 > 0:55:33Do you want to talk?

0:55:33 > 0:55:37One, day but from now on I only want this family to have

0:55:37 > 0:55:39good things to look forward to.

0:55:39 > 0:55:42Well, I can think of one really great thing coming up.

0:55:42 > 0:55:45You think we'll ever be able to tell our parents?

0:55:45 > 0:55:47Have them be happy for us.

0:55:47 > 0:55:49Yeah, definitely.

0:55:49 > 0:55:50Promise?

0:55:50 > 0:55:53Me and you are going to live happily ever after

0:55:53 > 0:55:55and nothing's going to get in the way of that.

0:55:55 > 0:55:57Cross my heart.

0:55:57 > 0:56:00As long as we love each other nothing can go wrong, can it?

0:56:00 > 0:56:02# Never knew love like this

0:56:02 > 0:56:06# The wind, moon, the earth, the sky

0:56:06 > 0:56:08# Sky so high

0:56:08 > 0:56:12# Never knew pain like this

0:56:12 > 0:56:13# Everything die, then die

0:56:17 > 0:56:19# Never knew love like this

0:56:19 > 0:56:25# The sun, the sea, you and I

0:56:25 > 0:56:29# Never knew pain, never knew shame

0:56:29 > 0:56:32# Now I know why

0:56:32 > 0:56:36# Bury me, marry me to the sky

0:56:36 > 0:56:40# Bury me, marry me to the sky... #

0:56:48 > 0:56:50What the hell?

0:56:50 > 0:56:51Oh, my God.

0:56:59 > 0:57:01It's him. It's Barry.

0:57:01 > 0:57:04- Out!- Get off me!

0:57:04 > 0:57:07Out, get out. Don't even think about messing me about.

0:57:07 > 0:57:13Is this you? Heels? A skirt? Time to get the old Kacey back.

0:57:13 > 0:57:14Hiya, love.

0:57:14 > 0:57:16Mum, what are you doing here?

0:57:16 > 0:57:19I want to be a proper mum.

0:57:19 > 0:57:20Give me another chance.
