0:00:02 > 0:00:05- You might have to hand over Janeece for the day.- Might I?
0:00:05 > 0:00:07I want to see Michael before I die.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10I'm sure he will come when he knows how serious your situation is.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13But I want to make peace. I don't want his pity.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16I am fine, Connor.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19That's why I've booked you a doctors' appointment.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22We'd be delighted to accommodate you here at Waterloo Road?
0:00:22 > 0:00:25I was only trying to prove myself to Miss Donnegan.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28I swear on my life, it'll never happen again.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Mummy, look at this.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50Cheryl, Mummy's on the phone.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Come on, Chalky, pick up!
0:00:59 > 0:01:02MUSIC SYSTEM BLASTS "Sweet home Alabama"
0:01:02 > 0:01:04(BARELY AUDIBLY) PHONE RINGS
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Chalky!
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Chalky!
0:01:25 > 0:01:30Now, don't move off that sofa until Chalky gets here, OK, hun?
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- I reckon there's about 12 of them, in total.- Sorry! It's just...
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I've never done anything like this before.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18I don't want to let you down.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21You're joking? Compared to your real job, this is going to be a breeze.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24I've seen the way you run that school. I know Michael thinks he's in charge,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- but you're the one who gets her hands dirty.- You think?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Definitely. But if you don't get out your comfort zone,
0:02:29 > 0:02:30how are you ever going to move on?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Unless you want to be a school seccy the rest of your life.- No way!
0:02:33 > 0:02:36I really appreciate you doing this for me at the last minute.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- I hope childcare wasn't a problem. - That's what Chalkys are for, innit!
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Good. You ready? Come on, then.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- My hand hurts!- Cheryl?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Someone's peed in my bed.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Ah, it's all right.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Don't worry about it.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- It's minging!- It's nothing to be embarrassed about.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Are you not hearing me? I never wet my bed.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- Rhiannon!- That's just plain daft, now, that is.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I mean, I know you two don't get on,
0:03:38 > 0:03:41but she's been making a real effort.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45It's probably just a bladder infection.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Here, drink plenty of water today,
0:03:48 > 0:03:50and we'll get you to the GP as soon as.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54We can't have you disappearing to the lav during my wedding vows, can we?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- But, I didn't do it.- Morning.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00You've not seen Mr Budgen anywhere, have you?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I have found the best white tuxedo on the internet.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05He'll look the spit of Sean Connery.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09What?
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Heard about your little accident.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Hope Miss C's not been too hard on you.- How do you know?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16If you need a hand later with that dirty laundry, Miss...
0:04:16 > 0:04:19You're all right. I'll manage.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27And I think we're all clear on that last one, so, thank you very much.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- See you soon.- Cheers.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31See, what did I tell you? You were fabulous!
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Thanks. Didn't know that being a PA would be so interesting!
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Glad you think so.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Cos I've struggled to find a decent PA,
0:04:38 > 0:04:40someone who's not just using the job
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- as a springboard to management. - Really?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Way things are going, there are going to be more events
0:04:44 > 0:04:46and overseas travel than my secretaries can handle.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51- Sounds wicked.- I'm always on the look-out for the right person. Have a think about it, will you?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I so will! Cheers.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59How many units of alcohol do you drink in a week?
0:05:00 > 0:05:0215, maybe 20.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Want to tell me the truth now?
0:05:06 > 0:05:11It's hard to say. I mean, the size of wine glasses in pubs these days.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15I think we're looking at a figure closer to 100 or more.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Don't be ridiculous.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Miss Mulgrew, you have to face facts.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Drinking is making you extremely sick.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Well, it can't be. I don't drink any more than anyone else I know.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30So, what else do you suggest is causing your stomach pain,
0:05:30 > 0:05:35- itching, swollen legs, fainting episodes?- Stress.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I'm a single mother with a demanding job,
0:05:37 > 0:05:40but what would you know about being a working mum?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- Miss Mulgrew... - We are finished here.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Before you leave, could I ask you to take a look at these.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52They're your liver function test results.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Are you sure that's right? That...
0:05:59 > 0:06:01It's 15 times what it should be.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04We can repeat them if you want.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07But they only confirm my diagnosis.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- Cirrhosis? - Alcoholic hepatitis.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Am I going to die?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Not if you stop drinking.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28You should've waited. I'd have given you a lift.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30I needed some air.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- So, what did you think of my proposal, then?- It was all right.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36I'm discussing it with Michael in a minute. Any thoughts?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39You haven't read it, have you?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42How am I supposed know? I'm not a teaching expert.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Fine.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Listen, I might be late home tonight.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48There's a gig that me and some mates are going to...
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- What mates?- Just mates.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Thought we were watching the game, getting a takeaway, aren't we?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Fine.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I need to copy these and she's changed the code again.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Does anyone happen to know
0:07:02 > 0:07:05where she keeps the key for the stationery cupboard?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Great. I'm supposed to be discussing this with Michael in five minutes.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Post is in. - How is the groom-to-be?
0:07:11 > 0:07:16Let's just say that Margaret's interpretation of "low key"
0:07:16 > 0:07:21exists in a parallel universe to mine.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25It's a sad state of affairs when you're the only one of us in a serious relationship.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30Jealous, are we, that I've stolen your crown as resident Romeo?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33You're welcome to it, mate. I'm done with all that.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35I'm keeping my life nice and simple from now on.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Oh! Don't remember receiving my invitation to this party.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39We're waiting for Janeece.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41What is she playing at?
0:07:41 > 0:07:42I assume, as this was still on her desk,
0:07:42 > 0:07:45you haven't had a chance to look through my new module ideas.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46No, I'm afraid not, no.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Well, I've got a free period,
0:07:48 > 0:07:49we could have a chat in half an hour or so?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52I can't, Tom. I've got an anti-bullying charity coming in
0:07:52 > 0:07:55and God knows how I'll find the brochure underneath all of this.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57It's the syllabus deadline tomorrow.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Look, I'll have a read of it before lunchtime and catch up with you then.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- I promise. Is that OK? - If it's not too much trouble.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Everything all right? - What does it look like?
0:08:10 > 0:08:14I was just wondering if you had a chance to visit your father yet?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16I think you already know the answer to that question.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21It's been years, Michael. You're both different people now.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23He's got to you, hasn't he?
0:08:23 > 0:08:24He's an old man.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Sian, he's a bully.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30And a good one. So, just leave it.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I knew it were you.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Well, aren't you the Sherlock Holmes.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42What kind of disgusting psycho pees in someone else's bed? It's crazy.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46So no-one's going to believe you if you tell them. All right, Phoenix?
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Mum!
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Mum!- Are you trying to give me a heart-attack?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Sorry. What did the doctor say?
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Everything's fine.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06I'm not stupid.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09All right, stop your nagging.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Fine... I do have something.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17It's called alcoholic hepatitis.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20You need to stop drinking. I know all about that...
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Know? How could you possibly know?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Just tell me what you need.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29No-one must find out. I mean it.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32If I lose this job, that's it for us, Connor. Promise me.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Course...
0:09:34 > 0:09:37But shouldn't you be at home though?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Won't you get withdrawal symptoms?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42I can handle it.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Doctor Lee, senior registrar.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Daniel Chalk.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58You brought Cheryl in today?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- So, what happened?- She burned her hand on some hair tongs.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04I wasn't actually there at the time...
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Was your wife?- No, no.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Janeece, Miss Bryant, Cheryl's mum...
0:10:09 > 0:10:12we're not... we're not married.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13You live together?
0:10:13 > 0:10:17No, in the same building, different flats.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- That's why I didn't see the note at first.- Note?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Yeah, it's all my fault, really.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25I should've heard her knocking, but I had the music cranked up to 11.
0:10:25 > 0:10:31She wanted me to drop Cheryl off at the child-minder's.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Miss Bryant, she had an urgent call.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37The child was home alone?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40No...
0:10:40 > 0:10:45Well, yes, but nowhere near as long as the last time,
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- could only have been a couple of minutes.- So, this isn't the first time it's happened?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52This is coming out all wrong.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Janeece, she's a great mum, you'll see when you meet her.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58I can't get in touch with her. I can't get a signal in here.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- Do you think she'll be able to get in this morning?- Definitely, yeah.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06If you let a nurse know when she arrives, I can sort out a time for Social Services to interview her.
0:11:14 > 0:11:20- Something stinks. Can you smell it? - No.- It's like toilets. Stale toilets.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Oh, yeah. Sorry, Scout.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27THEY LAUGH
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Where's Mr Chalk?
0:11:32 > 0:11:33SHE WHISTLES
0:11:33 > 0:11:36I said, where's Mr Chalk?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38He's not here.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39What d'you mean he's not here?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41He's popped out or he's-not-here, he's not here?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Miss Bryant! Where have you been?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47And where is Mr Chalk?
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Right, I'll meet you back down at the office, thank you.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54The rest of you sit back down, please.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58I'll be sending up some cover in a minute, so don't get excited.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09And then suddenly the fire alarm started going off.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13So everyone started legging it to the car park, pyjamas and everything,
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- and then, I left my keys in the flat.- And Daniel?
0:12:16 > 0:12:17The same.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Right, so both you and Daniel locked yourselves outside your flats?
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Nightmare. And then we had to wait for hours for the fire brigade to break back in for us.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Why didn't you call?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Because I dropped my phone and the fire engine ran over it,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32and then it got smashed to pieces...
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Look, Lorraine asked me to do a job
0:12:40 > 0:12:42and Chalky said that he was going to drop Cheryl off,
0:12:42 > 0:12:45and he didn't turn up and he's not got in touch and I'm dead worried.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Lorraine should've known that you needed to be here.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51It won't happen again.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54You're absolutely right. Have you any idea how serious this is?
0:12:54 > 0:12:55I can't run a school like this.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00No more disappearing acts, Janeece. Consider this an official warning.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- What?!- This office is the beating heart of Waterloo Road.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05I need you totally committed.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08And I am.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10PHONE RINGS
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- And no more personal calls!- Fine.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15PHONE BEEPS
0:13:17 > 0:13:19I'm sorry.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Janeece. JANEECE!
0:13:22 > 0:13:24I'm thinking of doing a running buffet
0:13:24 > 0:13:28but I reckon a sit-down's much more classier, don't you think?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Anyway, I'm going to try a French fish soup this lunchtime,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33see what this lot make of it.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37I...
0:13:37 > 0:13:40That was my birthday present off Grantly.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42It wasn't me!
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Scout, I don't know what to say to you.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52How long are you going to keep this up for?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Till everyone sees you for the cow you really are.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12BELL RINGS
0:14:17 > 0:14:18How come I can't see her now?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21I've told you, she's in the loo with one of the nurses.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I feel sick.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25The worst has happened. We just got to get her better.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Why did I go to Lorraine's stupid meeting? I'm such an idiot.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32No you're not.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Janeece, there's something I got to tell you...
0:14:34 > 0:14:38PHONE BEEPS
0:14:38 > 0:14:40This is Michael.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Don't worry. I'll be here as long as you need me.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48No, go.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49You sure?
0:14:49 > 0:14:53I don't want you to but you've done more than enough for us today.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Janeece...
0:14:56 > 0:14:57My baby!
0:14:57 > 0:15:01SHE CRIES
0:15:01 > 0:15:06Come to Mummy. Look - we'll be fine. Just go.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Blanche Dubois does not want to live in the real world,
0:15:17 > 0:15:22so she invents a...fantasy one.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Sorry, where was I?
0:15:33 > 0:15:34Fantasy world.
0:15:36 > 0:15:42Do you think this has anything to do with her downfall?
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Yeah. She's her own worst enemy. She can't handle who she really is.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Is it hot in here?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50No.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52It is. It's very hot.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Blanche is in denial and...
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Someone open a window, please.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01And she will do anything to keep herself
0:16:01 > 0:16:04in her safe, make-believe world.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Is that why she's always knocking back the booze then, Miss?
0:16:07 > 0:16:08THEY LAUGH
0:16:08 > 0:16:10What is up with her? She's lost it!
0:16:10 > 0:16:15- Enough!- Chillax, will you! - Miss, you nearly hit her!
0:16:15 > 0:16:1720 years I've been teaching that.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19It's time for a change.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21No way. We've done a ton of work on it already!
0:16:21 > 0:16:24I am in charge here, you little creep!
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- You can't talk to him like that. - What about this coursework?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- WHISPERING:- Oh, God, help me, help me...
0:16:29 > 0:16:34So, the past two months have been a complete waste?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I'm off to tell Mr Clarkson about this.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Shut...your...face!
0:16:39 > 0:16:42MISS!
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- Are you all right? - I am. But I don't think she is.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49For God's sake. Scout!
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- What?- Why did you...?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53I never! I swear!
0:16:53 > 0:16:56It's all ruined. My work... my diary...
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Where's Mrs Mulgrew? What in the world is going on here?
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Look what Scout did.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Little...
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Stop that, this minute.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20You! Make your way to the cooler, now!
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- This is all you!- She keeps doing this. Making up stories about me.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- Why can't any of you see she's twisting things?- I'm not!
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Tell her, you smashed her perfume!
0:17:29 > 0:17:31No way! You know I'm allergic to perfume!
0:17:31 > 0:17:34This blaming Rhiannon has got to stop!
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I'm sick of this! And I'm sick of you lot.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38I'm going to get proof. And then you're going to be the sorry one.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Miss Bryant... Where are you going?
0:17:54 > 0:17:56I'm going home. The nurse said when Cheryl comes back, we can go.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- Didn't Mr Chalk tell you? - Tell me what?
0:17:59 > 0:18:04We've had to report your daughter's injury to Social Services.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06What does that mean?
0:18:06 > 0:18:09We can't discharge her until you've spoken to a social worker.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Well, what's Chalky said?
0:18:11 > 0:18:15I'm sure the social worker will be able to answer all your questions.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20What you did was completely irresponsible.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24I had no choice. Put yourself in my shoes, what would you do?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26I'd have notified my employer, for a start.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I tried to call you, of course I did. I couldn't get a signal.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31The point is, you're not even the child's father.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Your duty is to the student population here.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Could you keep it down, please? The whole school can hear you.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41This about you being late?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I was at the A&E with Cheryl.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46She was left in the house, on her own and she hurt herself.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47Where was Janeece?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49At some meeting with Lorraine, apparently.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Well, that's totally out of order. You should have a word with her.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- I will an' all.- You won't have to. Social Services are taking care of it.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Social Services? You've not dropped her in it, have you?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00No. I'm taking care of it.
0:19:00 > 0:19:05Good. The last thing Janeece needs is the Social sniffing around.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Don't take any notice of him. You did the right thing.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Look... I don't know what department.
0:19:18 > 0:19:23Child Welfare, Child Protection, whoever takes care of hospitals.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25I need to talk to someone urgently.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- There's been a serious misunderstanding here. - There you are!
0:19:29 > 0:19:31I heard about your perfume.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Yeah, I didn't think Scout had it in her to be so nasty.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Why would she do such a thing?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Don't waste your time pondering the unanswerable.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46I could always show you this instead.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49I saw it and I thought, that is my Grantly.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Then it came to me, right?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54James Bond-themed wedding,
0:19:54 > 0:19:58you - Bond, obviously, me - Pussy Galore,
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Michael - Goldfinger,
0:20:01 > 0:20:02Chalky - Jaws!
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Right. That's it.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08One more word about tuxedos, flowers,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11or chocolates in the shape of a giant panda
0:20:11 > 0:20:14from the foothills of the Himalayas,
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I'll be a lot more than shaken and stirred!
0:20:17 > 0:20:19It was just an idea.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Consider it binned.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Jitters.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29Hello. There must be somebody I could talk to.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- No!- I wasn't going to drink it.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Is this your idea of helping? Cos the only thing you're helping me do is want to drink.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- And when I do, it'll be your fault! - Mum...
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Stop going on! I've had enough of it today.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Why? What's happened?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24What does this mean?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- Get off me!- What did you do to my mum?- Nothing.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Yeah, not what I heard!
0:21:31 > 0:21:33She attacked me. She's a total nutjob, just like you.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Connor. Let him go! It wasn't his fault.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Your mum, she's in a bad way.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46She was totally out of it. I even saw her asking for help.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Asking who?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50It looked like she was praying.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54You know I'm here for you, if you need me.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58What's up with your mum? It's bad, isn't it?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05I'm managing just fine.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07PHONE RINGS
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Do you feel as if you're spending enough time with your daughter?
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Course.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19She does seem to be in other people's care a lot of the time.
0:22:19 > 0:22:24As her mother, do you feel you could make more time?
0:22:24 > 0:22:25What?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27That word, "mother".
0:22:27 > 0:22:32A mother's middle-aged, dresses boring and fancies Jason Donovan.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Me and Cheryl, we're more like best mates.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36PHONE RINGS
0:22:39 > 0:22:43We're concerned that Cheryl's needs aren't being met.
0:22:43 > 0:22:49I know things aren't perfect, but I've been offered an amazing job.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Have you heard of Lorraine Donnegan?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Well, I'm going to have plenty of money coming in,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58to set up for Cheryl's future.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02PHONE RINGS
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Take the call if you want.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12It's "right now" you need to focus on, rather than the future.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15And we can help by paying regular visits to your home
0:23:15 > 0:23:18and working with you on everything from night-time routines
0:23:18 > 0:23:20to dietary plans...
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Are you going to take my baby away from me?
0:23:22 > 0:23:25We're going to be keeping a very close eye on Cheryl,
0:23:25 > 0:23:27making sure she gets all the care and attention from you
0:23:27 > 0:23:29that she needs.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Sorry, I didn't look at this until now.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46- It's been a bit of a morning. - So I gather.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Don't you think you were a little bit hard on Chalky earlier?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Well, I think he's got his priorities wrong.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55In fact, same thing could be said about your proposal, if I'm honest.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Media literacy is important.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Well, if we combine different media forms, like reality TV
0:24:03 > 0:24:05and adverts, it will make their lessons more relevant.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Don't you think they're bombarded with that kind of stuff already?
0:24:08 > 0:24:11So, you think we should just ignore the outside world?
0:24:11 > 0:24:15No, I think Shakespeare and Wordsworth can provide GCSE students with all the literacy they need.
0:24:15 > 0:24:21- I'm not saying that we can't have both.- Tom, you're not convincing me.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Sorry, can I interrupt? Michael, I'm aware you've plenty on your plate at the moment,
0:24:24 > 0:24:28but earlier this morning, I discovered Christine's Year 12 class sans teacher.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32To say it was pandemonium would be an understatement.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34What is going on?
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Teachers dropping like flies!
0:24:41 > 0:24:44I told you to work on in pairs.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Keep the chat down.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55An A? I can't believe it.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58It's those extra classes, they really helped. Thanks.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Mr Chalk?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Sorry, we were... Where were we?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13I was thanking you. For this.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16You deserved it. You worked hard.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Is it Janeece?
0:25:25 > 0:25:26How do you know?
0:25:26 > 0:25:30The whole school can see she's got you running around like a lapdog.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- Sorry.- I'm exhausted just thinking about today,
0:25:36 > 0:25:39let alone years of Janeece-related drama.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Yeah, I think my dad thinks the same about me.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48Don't think he'll ever let me move out, so he can keep an eye on me.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51It's sounds daft, but it's like, ever since he's been on his own,
0:25:51 > 0:25:54it's like he sort of uses me as some sort of relationship substitute.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Don't get me wrong, I love chilling with him, it's just sometimes we're like an old married couple.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Have you told him?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Don't want to upset him.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06It might upset him at first.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09But once the truth's out, you can start to fix things.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12What are you worried about, then?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Abandoning your class mid-lesson,
0:26:20 > 0:26:25public meltdowns, allegations of assault.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Something to do with Phoenix Taylor?
0:26:33 > 0:26:36It's all been a big misunderstanding.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41I wanted to take the heat out of the situation.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46You see, Phoenix has been making...
0:26:49 > 0:26:50..advances towards me.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55What?! Well, then we should get him up here right away.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Let's not be hasty,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00everything's under control.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03I mean, I've been round the block a few times
0:27:03 > 0:27:07and this isn't the first time I've seen something like this.
0:27:07 > 0:27:13I find it's normally boys lacking in a father figure.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18But you needn't worry, I can handle it.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Well, if it does happen again, make sure you come to me.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Believe me, it won't.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Therefore, the line AB has the equation
0:27:37 > 0:27:403x plus 2y equals 7.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42This is impossible!
0:27:42 > 0:27:45I run an extra class on a Friday afternoon after school,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- if you're interested. You're all welcome.- Sweet.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Count me in.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Wait, I can't.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- Why?- Just forget it, yeah?
0:28:00 > 0:28:05So, Mads. Looking fine today.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08So, listen, I've a couple of tickets for a gig tonight. You interested?
0:28:08 > 0:28:11I'd love to...
0:28:11 > 0:28:13All right.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17..if I was desperate to hang out with a brainless ape child.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19THEY LAUGH
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Get on with your work, please.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25BELL RINGS
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Quiet on your way out. I'll see you tomorrow.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42How could you do this to me? How could you betray me?
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- Not in front of the kids. - You're my best friend!
0:28:45 > 0:28:50I didn't betray you. They asked me questions, I couldn't lie.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51Why not?
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Why should I? I'm sick of lying for you.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58I'm sick of being a 24-hour baby-dumping service!
0:28:58 > 0:29:01I'm sick of watching you neglect Cheryl.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05You're just like the rest of them. You think I'm a bimbo who can't do right by my girl.
0:29:05 > 0:29:06Well, do you know what?
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Lorraine saw my potential and she's offered me a job.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12For once in your life, can't you see? It's not about you.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14It's about Cheryl.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19You are so... You're so selfish.
0:29:19 > 0:29:20Excuse me! I'm selfish?!
0:29:20 > 0:29:22You're the one that's been using us,
0:29:22 > 0:29:25because you're a sad, lonely old man, who'll never amount to anything,
0:29:25 > 0:29:27and never have a family of his own!
0:29:27 > 0:29:29I wouldn't want to be part of your family anyway.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31All right, everyone. Show's over.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Taken care of it, have you?
0:29:43 > 0:29:44Dad.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48What's going on?
0:29:48 > 0:29:50He shouldn't have done that to Janeece.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52What, so he should have lied?
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Yes...No.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Cos that's what you do with everything, innit?
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Just lie to yourself, everything's fine,
0:30:00 > 0:30:03just expect all your problems will magically disappear.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04What's that supposed to mean?
0:30:04 > 0:30:07It means I don't want to hang with you all the time.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09I know you're lonely, but it's too much for me.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11I need my own life too.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14I'm not your partner, I'm your son.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29Do you want some ice with that mood today?
0:30:29 > 0:30:31- What's your problem? - What is it with you?
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- Always wanting to know what a man's thinking.- Get over yourself.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36I'm not the one with a problem here.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Forget it. I can't be doing with games.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41THEY GIGGLE
0:30:52 > 0:30:53Why aren't you sitting there?
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Cos I know what you're going through.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02You can't say she doesn't deserve it.
0:31:02 > 0:31:03Of course she doesn't!
0:31:03 > 0:31:07We are talking about the same Janeece?
0:31:07 > 0:31:11The mother who concealed her child's chicken pox rash with makeup
0:31:11 > 0:31:15so as not to be inconvenienced?
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Shall I leave, shall I?
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Wouldn't want to spoil a good gossip.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22I was just saying I think you're right.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25I didn't do anything apart from tell the doctor what happened.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28You did the right thing, Daniel. This is not your fault.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30This is none of our business.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34It is, as a matter of fact. We're her friends.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36It's our job, not the Social's, to help her out.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Really? So what have you done?
0:31:39 > 0:31:43What have you been doing in the way of Good Samaritan?
0:31:43 > 0:31:44What have any of you done?
0:31:44 > 0:31:49I'm the one that looks after Cheryl. I'm the one that knows her.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52She's not a happy kid.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55I tried telling Janeece 1,000 times, but she doesn't want to hear it!
0:31:55 > 0:31:58You wouldn't understand, Chalky. You've no family of your own.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00You've no idea what she's going through.
0:32:00 > 0:32:05I do. And I'm going to prove it.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07I'll prove you wrong.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Are you sure that's Rhiannon's?
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Shhh. I need to listen for the click...
0:32:18 > 0:32:20- CLICK - And we're in.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Nice one! What are we looking for?
0:32:24 > 0:32:29Yes, Scout, what are you looking for?
0:32:29 > 0:32:32If it's a long suspension, I think Mr Byrne would agree with me,
0:32:32 > 0:32:34- you've just found one. - What do you think I'm doing?
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Do you think I want to touch that cow's stuff?
0:32:36 > 0:32:40I can't believe that I was feeling sorry for you.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42I came out here, you know, to make amends.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45This is just beyond me.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48You know what? I don't care any more, because I know I'm right.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Scout!
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Whatever.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05HE COUGHS
0:33:12 > 0:33:13I'm sorry you didn't like my soup.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17Home-made minestrone?
0:33:17 > 0:33:21You kidding? Just lost my appetite.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- Bring me some more next week, you'll see.- We both know I can't keep sneaking round like this.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Michael needs to know. And he doesn't need to hear it from me.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29No progress, then?
0:33:29 > 0:33:32No, you have to tell him.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33- No!- This isn't fair.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35I told you, I won't have his pity.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39Can you not see how ridiculous this is? Michael is your son.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43I've lived alone all these years. I'm sure I can manage to die alone.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Rhiannon, how could you?
0:33:55 > 0:33:57This was in your locker!
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Because she planted it in there!
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- I don't believe you.- You're lying!
0:34:02 > 0:34:03Show her your hands.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- What?- You heard. Show her.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07No way.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- That'll be your perfume allergy, then.- No!
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Scout, I'm so sorry.
0:34:21 > 0:34:27Never in my life have I come across such mean, spiteful,
0:34:27 > 0:34:29atrocious behaviour...
0:34:29 > 0:34:32I think maybe you should both me in there, in a minute.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34- Please?- You heard him. Move!
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Fat cow! THEY LAUGH
0:34:38 > 0:34:39That's right!
0:34:39 > 0:34:43Fatty, ginger...
0:34:44 > 0:34:46..moose...
0:34:47 > 0:34:49..minger...
0:34:50 > 0:34:52That's funny, innit?
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Slag, skank.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00These are words that have been around for years.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05In the corner of the class room,
0:35:05 > 0:35:07the top deck of school buses.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11But just recently, bullying's come out of the shadows.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Bullying has turned pro.
0:35:14 > 0:35:19The internet, television, and your newspapers.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20All of a sudden, everyone,
0:35:20 > 0:35:25everywhere, is trading on hating and bitching.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29In fact we've got so used to it, we don't even know that we're doing it.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35Now, no matter what you call them, it's still bullying.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40So, today, I'm going to offer you all a bullying amnesty.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44If you are bullying someone, this is your chance to stop it
0:35:44 > 0:35:45and offer an apology.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49And if you think that you are being bullied,
0:35:49 > 0:35:52there's even the potential here to forgive.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Janeece.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Janeece. Look, I know you think I messed up...
0:35:58 > 0:36:00I'm not listening!
0:36:00 > 0:36:05Believe me, I'm not feeling particularly warm and fuzzy towards you either, right now.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08A lot of stuff's been said, a lot of bad stuff.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13We've got to work through that.
0:36:17 > 0:36:22Look, if you're going to take this job with Lorraine...
0:36:24 > 0:36:30Why don't you and Cheryl move into my spare room,
0:36:30 > 0:36:34just till you get yourself, you know.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37I'm not like those other men in your life, Janeece.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40I'm not using you.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45I'm your friend.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Good friends.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54I don't think so.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58Not after everything that happened today. I'm sorry.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03You been avoiding my calls?
0:37:03 > 0:37:04- No.- Right, well, we've things to discuss.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Lorraine. How about I'm busy?
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- Later?- No, I don't think so.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12In fact, this whole day has turned into total chaos
0:37:12 > 0:37:15since you decided to steal my secretary again!
0:37:15 > 0:37:16I pay her wages.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18And I run the school.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23- OK, pop by my office in a few minutes, right?- Right.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28So, a bullying amnesty.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30- Forgiveness.- Absolutely.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Shame you can't apply that to you and your father.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40PHONE RINGS
0:37:41 > 0:37:42Look at the state of this place!
0:37:42 > 0:37:46- Are you completely incompetent today?- Oh. I've had it up to here with you, Mr Byrne.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49You're bossy, you never laugh,
0:37:49 > 0:37:53and don't you just love the sound of your own voice going on and on?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Janeece?
0:37:55 > 0:37:56Do you know what?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58You can take your stupid job and you can shove it.
0:37:58 > 0:38:03Don't feel sorry for me cos I'm going to go and work for someone who actually appreciates me.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Lorraine!
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Phoenix, there you are.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Have you got time for a quick word?
0:38:12 > 0:38:14I've got nothing to say to you.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17I just want to apologise for my behaviour before.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18I was out of line, I admit it.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22You lot are always going on about manners and stuff, but you're just a hypocrite.
0:38:22 > 0:38:23You're absolutely right.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30The problem is, I don't think you understand what an immensely powerful,
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- physical presence you have.- Eh?
0:38:34 > 0:38:39A few years ago, I was attacked...in class.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44And when I saw you, standing there like that...
0:38:47 > 0:38:50..I think my reaction today was more about him, and not you.
0:38:50 > 0:38:51But I would never try to...
0:38:51 > 0:38:54No, I know, I know. Of course not.
0:38:56 > 0:38:57Phoenix, I am sorry.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02If you want to take this further, then I understand.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05You must do what you think is best.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07It's all right, Miss.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Thank you, Phoenix.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Is he free yet?
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Two secs.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Oh, actually,
0:39:29 > 0:39:33I've got this lunch meeting I need to sort out for tomorrow. You all right to help me out again?
0:39:33 > 0:39:35- Yeah, definitely.- Great.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Lorraine...
0:39:42 > 0:39:44..you know this PA job?
0:39:44 > 0:39:49- Well, I've decided. - Great. Just email me their details.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52I've decided that, well,
0:39:52 > 0:39:56I'll do it. I'd love to be your PA.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Janeece, I'm sorry, but I didn't mean you.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03I was asking you for suggestions.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07The type of PA I'm looking for would need to be a researcher,
0:40:07 > 0:40:10write reports, deputize for me, manage budgets.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15- Have you ever managed a corporate budget before?- No.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18And can you speak any foreign languages?
0:40:19 > 0:40:22No.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26Janeece I think you need to be honest with yourself,
0:40:26 > 0:40:28know your limitations. You're a fantastic girl.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31But, in my experience, there's no point wasting your life
0:40:31 > 0:40:34trying to be something you're not.
0:40:34 > 0:40:35All right?
0:40:47 > 0:40:52If you want a copy of past papers, see me at the end of the lesson.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Sir, please can I go to the toilet?
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Lunch break finished not half an hour ago.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01- You've had plenty of chance - Sir. But it's really urgent.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- I'm feeling sick.- Me too.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15- Bunch of incontinent infants... - Not you too?
0:41:15 > 0:41:17I can't get sick like that!
0:41:17 > 0:41:20I don't care about me. But what about the baby?
0:41:20 > 0:41:23Perhaps you should alert Mr Byrne.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31HE PASSES WIND
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Will you excuse me...
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Janeece?
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Well done, Chalky. Ten out of ten. You was right.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04I'm an idiot.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06I didn't say that.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Lorraine's job - it never even existed.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11You've still got your own job.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15Not after the fight... I quit.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18I've decided I've had enough.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20I'm going to go stay and with me mum.
0:42:20 > 0:42:21Ibiza?
0:42:23 > 0:42:25For how long?
0:42:25 > 0:42:28I don't know. Maybe forever.
0:42:32 > 0:42:38I really think you should think about giving Janeece her job back.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41You can't be serious.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45I understand, but... I think maybe, you know...
0:42:45 > 0:42:48There's a good reason she's been off her game today.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51It's not just about today, all right? And it's nothing personal.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53This is about my office ceasing to function,
0:42:53 > 0:42:56which, in turn, affects the whole school.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58- That's it, then?- Yes. I'm sorry.
0:43:04 > 0:43:08Look. This job, it... It means everything to her.
0:43:08 > 0:43:14- Yes. And the efficient running of Waterloo Road means everything to me.- Please...
0:43:14 > 0:43:16Just give her one more chance.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19I guarantee she won't let you down. I'll take full responsibility.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Sir, Mr Budgen sent me.
0:43:21 > 0:43:25There's a bunch of people throwing up.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27Yes. OK, I'll be there.
0:43:28 > 0:43:32- All right, one more chance. - You won't regret it.
0:43:32 > 0:43:36Daniel, this might be none of my business, OK? But I think you're getting too involved.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38I need to be able to rely on all of my teachers.
0:43:38 > 0:43:42Well, you can. You know how dedicated I am to my job.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45I think you're so wrapped up in what Janeece wants at the moment
0:43:45 > 0:43:48that you've forgotten about what it is that you want.
0:43:58 > 0:44:02- Look at that neat baby bump. How many weeks?- 17.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06Are they giving you a hard time?
0:44:06 > 0:44:08How you feeling?
0:44:09 > 0:44:13Knackered. Excited. Scared.
0:44:13 > 0:44:17There's going to be this little person
0:44:17 > 0:44:20and it's completely up to me to look after them.
0:44:20 > 0:44:23You're dead lucky, you've got Mr Chalk.
0:44:23 > 0:44:25He'd do anything for you!
0:44:25 > 0:44:27Not any more.
0:44:27 > 0:44:29So, why did I see him shouting at Mr Byrne,
0:44:29 > 0:44:31getting you your job back?
0:44:31 > 0:44:33Chalky did that?
0:44:33 > 0:44:38Must be so great having someone supportive.
0:44:38 > 0:44:41- I wish I did.- Thank you!
0:44:44 > 0:44:46You have saved my life once again.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49How many more times, Mr Chalk?
0:44:49 > 0:44:51I'm glad.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56I realise I was a bit hasty before, you know,
0:44:56 > 0:45:00when I said about the moving in idea. A bit daft, really.
0:45:00 > 0:45:05No. I think it's the best idea that you've ever had.
0:45:05 > 0:45:10But, if we're going to do it, we do it properly.
0:45:10 > 0:45:12None of that spare room rubbish.
0:45:12 > 0:45:16I don't think you... You what?
0:45:16 > 0:45:19Well, I've been dreaming about a fairy tale for years,
0:45:19 > 0:45:22only it's been the wrong one.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24Because...you've been there,
0:45:24 > 0:45:28and I should've kissed you a long time ago.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31Does that make me the frog in this scenario?
0:45:31 > 0:45:33Eh?
0:45:33 > 0:45:35Never mind.
0:45:36 > 0:45:40Listen, you're tired. You don't know what you're saying.
0:45:40 > 0:45:44It's the only thing that's made sense all day.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47Chalk, who's the only person that makes me laugh?
0:45:49 > 0:45:53Who's the first person that I run to when I've got some stupid gossip to tell?
0:45:53 > 0:45:56And who was the first person that ever taught me how to play the air guitar?
0:45:56 > 0:46:00Well, all the best relationships are built on mutual air-guitaring.
0:46:00 > 0:46:06- Why do you always have to make a joke when I'm trying to be serious, Chalk?- I wasn't joking.
0:46:06 > 0:46:11See? We're like a bickering couple already, aren't we?
0:46:11 > 0:46:14Come on, Chalk, Cheryl needs you.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17I need you.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19It is what you want, innit?
0:46:19 > 0:46:21Course.
0:46:28 > 0:46:31Mr Byrne, can I have a word, please?
0:46:31 > 0:46:33I am so sorry.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36- I think this is all my fault.- Go on.
0:46:36 > 0:46:39I tried a new recipe at lunch time -
0:46:39 > 0:46:41French fish soup.
0:46:41 > 0:46:44I thought the shellfish were all right, but they can't have been.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47Thank you for telling me.
0:46:48 > 0:46:53Oh, my God! What have I done to you?
0:46:53 > 0:46:55- I can't believe this is happening! - I know what you mean.
0:46:55 > 0:46:59Right, we need to go out at the weekend and celebrate. Which club shall we go to?
0:46:59 > 0:47:04- Well, we could just stay in, couldn't we? Get a takeaway, watch a bit of telly.- Perfect.
0:47:04 > 0:47:09- Hey, there's an X-Files night on one of the channels. - It's X Factor. Bless.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13I better get back to my class.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18My prince.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24Those who are unwell,
0:47:24 > 0:47:28please stay where you are until your parents arrive.
0:47:28 > 0:47:32Everybody else, make your way out of the building now!
0:47:35 > 0:47:40This has got something to do with you, hasn't it? Whatever it is, you need to tell the teachers now.
0:47:40 > 0:47:42Jade could get sick and all.
0:47:43 > 0:47:46You as well?
0:47:46 > 0:47:48It's OK, flower.
0:47:48 > 0:47:51No.
0:47:51 > 0:47:52I'm so sorry.
0:47:52 > 0:47:55I've waited since lunchtime to hear you say that.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58No. You don't understand.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00The sick people -
0:48:00 > 0:48:02- it's all my fault. - Course it's not!
0:48:02 > 0:48:04I did it.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09I put it in the soup. And now people are going to die cos of me.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22HE SIGHS
0:48:32 > 0:48:36Josh! Josh, wait up!
0:48:36 > 0:48:39Look, I'm not going to bother with the match tonight.
0:48:39 > 0:48:41- I'll give you a lift to your gig. - We're getting the bus.
0:48:41 > 0:48:47- I'm sure I could squeeze you all in. - There's seven of us. - Message received.
0:48:47 > 0:48:48You two made it up, then?
0:48:50 > 0:48:53Yeah, thanks, Mr Chalk - for the chat.
0:48:53 > 0:48:55Glad I could help.
0:48:55 > 0:48:59Well, you've been busy today, sorting out everyone's kids for them.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01Who me? What would I know? Eh?
0:49:01 > 0:49:03Not being a parent, myself.
0:49:03 > 0:49:05Chalky...
0:49:07 > 0:49:10..I'm sorry - about Janeece.
0:49:12 > 0:49:14I understand, you did it for Cheryl.
0:49:16 > 0:49:20You are so lucky that that stuff wasn't lethal,
0:49:20 > 0:49:23but... Just tell us, why.
0:49:27 > 0:49:30I'll tell you what I think.
0:49:30 > 0:49:35I think that you're so full of hatred and anger that you don't even know who you are any more.
0:49:38 > 0:49:39I'm so sorry.
0:49:39 > 0:49:44I don't expect you to forgive me. But I'll try and make it up to you.
0:49:44 > 0:49:47Don't you ever come near me or my mates again.
0:49:51 > 0:49:53Can you pass us that cloth, please?
0:49:53 > 0:49:56Ta.
0:50:07 > 0:50:09I'm sorry if I've been a nightmare.
0:50:11 > 0:50:14And if you want to call the wedding off, I understand.
0:50:14 > 0:50:16Only can we stay friends?
0:50:16 > 0:50:22Why on Earth would I want to call it off?
0:50:24 > 0:50:28- What's this?- I was saving it.
0:50:28 > 0:50:31But I think you need to open it now.
0:50:39 > 0:50:45"I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears, of all my life."
0:50:47 > 0:50:50Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
0:50:50 > 0:50:53And I mean every word.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57You've brought me back to life, Margaret,
0:50:57 > 0:51:00made me remember a me,
0:51:00 > 0:51:06a joyful me I'd forgotten existed.
0:51:06 > 0:51:10You're my family now.
0:51:10 > 0:51:13All I've got.
0:51:13 > 0:51:16Sorry, I'm late.
0:51:16 > 0:51:18You should go.
0:51:18 > 0:51:20I thought you was giving me a lift.
0:51:20 > 0:51:24Why don't we go home and spoil Cheryl rotten?
0:51:24 > 0:51:25I meant Ibiza.
0:51:25 > 0:51:28You should go to Ibiza, to your mum's.
0:51:28 > 0:51:31Yeah, well I thought you hated the hot weather?
0:51:33 > 0:51:37Can you honestly put your hand on your heart and say I'd make you happy?
0:51:40 > 0:51:41But I love you.
0:51:49 > 0:51:52That's the first time anyone's ever said that to me.
0:51:52 > 0:51:54And I know that you love me, too.
0:51:54 > 0:51:57Of course, I do.
0:51:57 > 0:52:00Look, me and you - we're good together.
0:52:00 > 0:52:05- We're going to have such a laugh... - A laugh's not enough - for either of us.
0:52:08 > 0:52:10Don't do this, please.
0:52:14 > 0:52:16What am I going to do without you?
0:52:27 > 0:52:31My Dad always said I was nothing, and he were right.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33That's the problem with parents - think they know everything.
0:52:33 > 0:52:37You going to send me back to Rochdale?
0:52:37 > 0:52:39No. I'm going to let you stay,
0:52:39 > 0:52:41but in addition to your suspension, there is one other condition.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44I'm going to introduce you to someone I know.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46She's setting up an anti-bullying website
0:52:46 > 0:52:49run for teenagers by teenagers.
0:52:49 > 0:52:52They're recruiting for people to work on the helpline.
0:52:52 > 0:52:54Think you can handle that?
0:52:55 > 0:52:57- KNOCK ON DOOR - Come in.
0:52:57 > 0:52:59You've just got to forget about your family, Rhiannon.
0:52:59 > 0:53:02Get on with your own life.
0:53:02 > 0:53:06- I've tried. It doesn't work. - Well, keep trying.
0:53:10 > 0:53:13If you want to screw yourself up, that is fine. But not the kids.
0:53:13 > 0:53:17What? I'm just offering advice. It's life tools.
0:53:17 > 0:53:21- It worked for me.- Your life tools have worked so well, your father will end up dying alone!
0:53:21 > 0:53:24What are you talking about?
0:53:24 > 0:53:28He didn't want me to tell you because he didn't want your pity.
0:53:28 > 0:53:29But I see there's no chance of that.
0:53:29 > 0:53:33How dare you invade my privacy like this!?
0:53:33 > 0:53:34My family is nothing to do with you.
0:53:34 > 0:53:37So, if you know what's good for you, you'll just back off.
0:53:37 > 0:53:39Do you understand?
0:53:39 > 0:53:43I'll back off, but I cannot pretend to understand you.
0:53:45 > 0:53:49Your father's not the only bully in your family.
0:53:49 > 0:53:52DOOR SLAMS
0:53:59 > 0:54:01I'm scared.
0:54:01 > 0:54:04No, you'll be grand.
0:54:04 > 0:54:10I suppose I can spend more time with Cheryl, try being a great mum.
0:54:10 > 0:54:13That's the most important thing, isn't it?
0:54:23 > 0:54:26So, this is it, then?
0:54:26 > 0:54:29Come here, you.
0:54:31 > 0:54:35I'm sorry about everything I said earlier.
0:54:35 > 0:54:38I didn't mean it - not all of it, anyway.
0:54:40 > 0:54:43And you know if that things don't work out for you in Ibiza,
0:54:43 > 0:54:46you can always come back to us.
0:54:46 > 0:54:49You're part of the family.
0:54:49 > 0:54:50I'm going to make you both so proud.
0:54:55 > 0:54:57You still here?
0:54:59 > 0:55:00Mum?
0:55:00 > 0:55:02SHE SOBS
0:55:04 > 0:55:07Mum!
0:55:07 > 0:55:12I need to get out of here...
0:55:12 > 0:55:13Why me!?
0:55:13 > 0:55:16Mum, Mum! It's Connor. I'm here.
0:55:16 > 0:55:18Mum...
0:55:18 > 0:55:20Connor...
0:55:20 > 0:55:23I love you.
0:55:27 > 0:55:28Mikey.
0:55:32 > 0:55:34I can't believe you're here.
0:55:34 > 0:55:36Look at you!
0:55:36 > 0:55:39I came here for one reason, Dad.
0:55:39 > 0:55:42- To tell you to stay away from me. - But I am staying away.
0:55:42 > 0:55:44How dare you use Sian to get to me?
0:55:44 > 0:55:48I just want to make peace before it's too late.
0:55:48 > 0:55:50I don't believe you.
0:55:50 > 0:55:53HE COUGHS AND WHEEZES
0:56:13 > 0:56:17I remember the day we brought you back from the hospital.
0:56:17 > 0:56:22You were so tiny. So perfect...
0:56:22 > 0:56:24Spare me the cliches, please.
0:56:24 > 0:56:26What about the day you locked me in a cupboard
0:56:26 > 0:56:28because I contradicted you in front of your friends?
0:56:28 > 0:56:31Or the day you beat me with that belt because I spilt tea on your chair?
0:56:31 > 0:56:34It wasn't like that. You always had an active imagination.
0:56:34 > 0:56:38Oh, and let's not forget your spectacular ability to re-write history.
0:56:38 > 0:56:41- I must have done something right.- No!
0:56:41 > 0:56:44No way.
0:56:44 > 0:56:47Any success I've had is in spite of you, not because of you.
0:56:50 > 0:56:52Which is why I will not allow you back into my life.
0:56:55 > 0:56:57Don't contact me again.
0:56:58 > 0:56:59Please...
0:57:01 > 0:57:04Do you not understand? I'm dying.
0:57:05 > 0:57:08I buried you a long time ago, Dad.
0:57:28 > 0:57:32You all right, Sian? You dirty stop-out. It's me again.
0:57:32 > 0:57:33Do you remember Home Alone kid?
0:57:33 > 0:57:36The work experience initiative will be a great opportunity.
0:57:36 > 0:57:39At least it'll give them an idea of the options open to them.
0:57:39 > 0:57:42Yeah, like earning money instead of getting into serious debt.
0:57:42 > 0:57:45- Got a new fella, than?- What makes you think I've got a new fella?
0:57:45 > 0:57:47Stop trying to make decisions for me.
0:57:47 > 0:57:50You're breathing down my neck all the time. I can't stand it.
0:57:50 > 0:57:52Oh, now-now, you two. Leave it out.
0:57:52 > 0:57:54How much do you want, leech?
0:57:54 > 0:57:57£3,000.
0:57:57 > 0:58:00What's the big deal? It's just a room with a bunch of headsets.
0:58:00 > 0:58:02This is the land of opportunity.
