0:00:02 > 0:00:05It's a design competition, and the winner takes £5,000.
0:00:05 > 0:00:06No, not going to happen.
0:00:06 > 0:00:07Michael, listen...
0:00:07 > 0:00:10- Connor told me... - About?
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Your drink problem.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13It's not that I don't approve.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16I just think there are better ways to motivate the pupils than money.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18I was thinking of maybe fostering.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Excellent idea.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23You don't think I'll make a pig's ear of it?
0:00:29 > 0:00:31I am not your mother, Madi, and I don't want to be!
0:00:31 > 0:00:33I don't want to move out.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36I didn't think you'd darken my door again.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38To what do I owe the pleasure?
0:01:05 > 0:01:06Done?
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Brilliant. That's me for another year.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10You haven't even seen it yet.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13There's no need. I trust you.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16DOORBELL RINGS That'll be the post.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18It's good, that.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25BOY SIGHS
0:01:25 > 0:01:27He's not going to be happy, you know.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31If I win, my picture will be in the paper.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32- DOOR SLAMS - Mum might see it.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35So? Who cares about her? She left us, remember?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41You're not leaving that there.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Fine, I'll take it outside.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Have you washed your hands?
0:01:50 > 0:01:54You really like it? It's all sustainable wood.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59Morag, you know as well as I do, sustainability is a
0:01:59 > 0:02:05confidence trick by big corporations who plant forests to get rich, yeah?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09I love it. It's brilliant. Come here.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12I'm really proud of you, and the school will be proud of you too.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Now go and get ready.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44This competition is about unlocking the potential in every pupil.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47We seek the unique. Nothing more, nothing less.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- Thanks, Neil. - Thanks, Miss Donnegan.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Mum gets the results from the doctor's today.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Alcoholics aren't known for doing what their doctor says.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Don't say that. Alcoholic.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00It's just a word that people throw at somebody that drinks.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02It means nothing.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04She's off the drink, and she's not going back.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Are you sure? I mean...
0:03:05 > 0:03:09I believe her this time. She really means it.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11That's good enough for me.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Nice bench, Connor.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15If I was betting man I'd put a tenner on him.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Connor?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I hope you haven't been discussing our business again with...
0:03:26 > 0:03:28..Little Miss Loopy over there.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Of course not, and stop calling her that.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Just remember if she starts spreading lies...
0:03:33 > 0:03:35She's not going to say anything.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I hope it all goes well today at the doctor's.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Me too. I'll let you know.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43You've done really well, Mum, whatever happens.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Shows you what bands are playing in your area.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Wow, that's so amazing.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I can't believe you haven't got a mobile.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56I couldn't live without this.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Hey, did you know it takes 32 kilos of CO2 to
0:04:00 > 0:04:02manufacture just one mobile phone?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I bet you didn't know that either.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07No, I didn't, no.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11What's that?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13That's for recycling human waste.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19I should come into the school and give a talk on freeganism -
0:04:19 > 0:04:21alternative strategies for living.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23It's not all about raking through bins.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25I'll have a word with Mr Byrne.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27It's not him you need to worry about.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29It's that Donnegan.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Where there's money like that, there's always some kind of power.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Too right. Five big ones.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Shall we get this on the trailer?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Wait a minute. What do you mean, "Five big ones"?
0:04:40 > 0:04:44We're running a little competition, just to keep the kids motivated.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I knew you were up to something.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50So what does the winner of this competition get?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Money towards uni fees.
0:04:52 > 0:04:545,000.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55£5,000?
0:04:57 > 0:04:58I don't believe this.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02I thought schools were meant to fight against paying fees, not support them.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04What's Byrne got to say about this?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Mr Murray, it's just a competition.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Dad, just leave it. Sir, can we go?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11No, nobody's going anywhere. Morag, you just stay right where you are.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Where's he going? - I think you should leave.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21This now represents everything I've ever fought against.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Dad, it's just a bench.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28No. It's a disgusting attempt to bribe children.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30OK, could we just calm down, please?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40You're either with me, or you're against me.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- What's this going to achieve? - A lesson.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51A lesson in standing up for yourself and your family.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00You can do better than that, Morag.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Mr Murray, please.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14This is out of order, mate. This is wrong.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Have you got kids of your own?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19You ever thought about trying to teach them the difference between
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- right and wrong? - Yeah, but not like this.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Come on.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Ewan, go and get your school stuff.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48What're you doing?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Er, nothing.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I'm Kevin, first day.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Phoenix. This is Scout.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57Did you do that?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Yeah, what's wrong with it?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Nothing. Good poster.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Hey! What do you think you're doing?
0:07:08 > 0:07:09That could have hit us there.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Oh, no way, sir, simple parabolic curve.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Had it all worked out.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15What did you just say?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Nothing. I missed anyway. Big deal.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Pick the can up.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32New boy. You know his name?
0:07:32 > 0:07:34I know his middle name - trouble.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Hey.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Good news?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57It's nothing important.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I know things have been a bit strained between us,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03but you don't have to hide things from me.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14You got a job on a cruise ship?
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Not yet.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Well, you'd have to quit school. You've got exams.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20We both know it's a waste of my time.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21I'm going to fail anyway.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23You don't know that.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28I mean, you can't be serious, this is for a cabin maid.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31But it's a job. And I'll get to travel the world.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35OK, I know it's a bit...
0:08:37 > 0:08:39You can't solve your problems by running away
0:08:39 > 0:08:42and you are so much better than this.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43All right, well, it's my life.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I can do what I want with it.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Madi...
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Freegans?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Do they not rootle about in bins and knit their own yogurts?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Well, there's a bit more to it than that.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01The poor kid was devastated, her dad just lost it.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Well, it sounds like the behaviour of a class A bully.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I mean, if he's capable of that in front of you
0:09:05 > 0:09:08what's he going to be like behind closed doors? There's losing it and then
0:09:08 > 0:09:10there's abuse. I'll give him a call.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12They don't do phones.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Well, then, I'll go round there later, and I'll let you know.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Morag? Are you OK?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Yeah, I'm fine.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22I tried to stop him.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25There was nothing you could do, sir.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Look, I've been thinking, what about I help you put a new bench together?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30We could get some scrap wood, do a different design,
0:09:30 > 0:09:32knock it up in no time.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35No, sir, it wouldn't be fair. It wouldn't be my work.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37What happened this morning wasn't fair.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43I can't, sir. Thanks for the offer, but I just can't.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50No offence, Connor, but she said she'd mark it
0:09:50 > 0:09:51and then give it us straight back.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54It would be good to know at least what we've got going into the exam.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Morning, everyone. - Morning, Miss Mulgrew.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Take your seats, please, while I do registration.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01I vote you ask her, Imogen.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I could ask her really nicely.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I don't want to stress her out any more than you do.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- If I don't do it, one of this lot will.- Quiet!
0:10:11 > 0:10:13They're already slagging her off.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- Ash.- Here.- Dolby.- Here.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16- Hanford.- Here.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20B-Tec Travel and Tourism. It offers training, work experience...
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Yeah, but that's dull. I'm talking sailors and sunshine.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26You'll be cleaning toilets.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Get some qualifications behind you. Just look at it.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35She's right, you're too clever to be a cleaner.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Look, I know it's not the best job in the world, but there'll be
0:10:38 > 0:10:41no parents, no curfews and I get to travel all over.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- BELL RINGS - It's a big wide world, Libby.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Not now.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Miss?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- We were just wondering if...? - We?
0:10:58 > 0:11:03Yeah. Some of the girls were asking if you'd marked our coursework yet.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Miss, can we come in?
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Yes, in you come, Lula.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Morag. Sit here.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Did you watch EastEnders last night? Harley got me into it.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24No, I don't watch it.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Then what do you watch?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Erm, I don't really watch telly.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30You don't watch TV?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Why not?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I'm a bit of a geek, I prefer reading.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I mean, you must watch something.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Yeah, I watch some things.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- What? - The news.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42LAUGHTER
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Sorry, miss.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46All right, let's make a start.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48I don't want to put her under any pressure,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51but if we don't do something it's just going to build up.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54She'll just have left it at home. Don't worry, I'll sort it.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58She's dead lucky to have you, do you know that?
0:11:58 > 0:12:02So the object of a film review is to do what?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Morag?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Inform, describe, analyse and advise.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Go, geek girl!
0:12:08 > 0:12:11It's OK, miss, Morag calls herself that.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Yeah, well, I don't want to hear it.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Morag, what was the genre of the last film you watched?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Erm...
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I can't remember, miss.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Miss, she doesn't watch TV, so she probably doesn't watch films.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31All right, Lula, liking the sound of your own voice this morning?
0:12:31 > 0:12:32LAUGHTER
0:12:34 > 0:12:38OK, well, just name any film that you've watched in the last month.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41No?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Well, you must have watched the Twilight films?
0:12:46 > 0:12:47Miss, I know this.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52It's called the well-fit genre - Kristen Stewart, oh yes.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57All right, all right, calm down.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Yep, that sounds like Kevin Skelton, four schools in three years.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04We're still waiting on his records, but I've agreed to take him because
0:13:04 > 0:13:08he's bright, potentially really bright, but doesn't like to show it.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Also lazy, awkward,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14difficult to manage - all the things that we like.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Oh...
0:13:16 > 0:13:18..that's the number for social services.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Why does he want the number for social services?
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- It's nothing to do with Janeece, is it?- No, no, Janeece is happily
0:13:27 > 0:13:30sunning herself in Ibiza.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I keep getting postcards from her.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Daniel's considering fostering.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Oh, good for him.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39So, um, how's your father?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41I'm actually seeing him tonight.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Really? Mm-hmm. Good.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47You should take him some soup. He likes minestrone.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- See, you already know him better than I do.- I wouldn't say that.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Yeah, just get the photographer to meet me here. All right, bye.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56I need a coffee.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Everything going well?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- BELL RINGS - Yeah, thanks for asking.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- Sian, you still all right to be on the judging panel?- Of course.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Good. Michael, I'm sure you won't be able to resist saying a few words?
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Oh, I shall mock the time with fairest show.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12What does that mean?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Don't worry, he'll be there.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15Good.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Now, let's write that in index form.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Powers - two squared times three cubed?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Sir, what's the point of prime numbers? They're totally useless.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Hey, a-ha. Now. They're not, actually, that's where you're wrong.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27They're used in cryptography.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- Cryp-what? - Making information secure.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33You know, like when you do your shopping online or
0:15:33 > 0:15:34use your mobile phone.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- So Morag won't need it then? - LAUGHTER
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Hey! Hey!- It's not her fault she's doesn't own a mobile phone.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41It's not fair, it is, sir?
0:15:41 > 0:15:45I don't know so much, sometimes I wish I never had one.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Our lives are ruled by them nowadays, aren't they?
0:15:47 > 0:15:52I'm just saying she can't text anyone, network, I mean.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Hey, come on, get on with your work, please.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Morag, you OK?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- LAUGHTER - Morag, I'm sorry.- Hey!
0:16:16 > 0:16:17I was just...
0:16:19 > 0:16:20Hey...
0:16:21 > 0:16:23..has something upset you?
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Someone.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Yeah, well...
0:16:29 > 0:16:31don't let them know they've got to you, all right?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35It's always worked for me.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37I should know, I've been in more schools than a dolphin.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42It's not a pupil, I mean, not really. It's my dad.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Yeah, well, adults always make the best bullies.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Now she's basically bribing the kids.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52I mean, this school, everything,
0:16:52 > 0:16:55it's just becoming like one big millionaire's plaything.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Bit lost are we?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01No, sir. This girl here's a bit upset.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Morag, what's the problem?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06We'll handle this, you get off to your next class.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09Kevin.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15It's nothing really, sir, I just got a bit upset in class.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16I'm fine now.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Is this about your bench?
0:17:21 > 0:17:25Morag...we can't help you if you don't talk to us.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Would you just go and take a seat over there for a minute?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34I knew this would happen. It's obviously a delayed reaction.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- What do we know about the mother? - Well, she left them a couple of
0:17:37 > 0:17:39years ago. She works abroad a lot.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Look, somebody needs to sort this bloke out.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Look, I said I'd go, you're liable to flatten him.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46He just needs to know how miserable he's making his daughter.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Come on. Let's see if we can't sort this out, eh?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38If you want I'll have a word with the rest of them.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39No, sir. Please...
0:18:40 > 0:18:43..they didn't mean to hurt me.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Well, if they're your friends then they'll understand. Talk to them.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48I can't talk to anyone.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52I don't have anything in common with anyone,
0:18:52 > 0:18:54and the one thing that I was good at...
0:18:55 > 0:18:56..got wrecked.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Sir...
0:19:03 > 0:19:04..I know it's probably too late,
0:19:04 > 0:19:09but I was wondering about what you said earlier, about the bench.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I don't think we've got time now.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19I'm sick of it, the mickey-taking, all of it.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23I just want to show them that there's something I can do.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25Please, sir.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Congratulations.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38- I got an A minus. - Me too.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41They were just on my mum's desk.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43A star, you swot.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46This is the best mark I've had all year. I only spent an hour on it.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47What's the matter?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Nothing. I'm pleased.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55We need some help in the hall. Two of you, please.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Imogen, Liberty?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Oh, what's this? What's this?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01We all got As for English.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Oh.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Well, you'd need to write a wee bit more than that to get
0:20:07 > 0:20:09an A in History.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Morag's having some friendship problems.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21I think she lacks the cultural references of the other children.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24She's having difficulty fitting in.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27I didn't raise my children to fit in.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30She'll cope.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34She's growing up, Mr Murray, getting some ideas of her own.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Yeah, she's a freegan.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40She's opposed to a society controlled by materialism.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43And she won't be swapping that for the latest mobile phone.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Oh, and keep that Donnegan woman away from my daughter.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Well, I'm the headteacher, not Miss Donnegan.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56She who pays the piper calls the tunes, eh?
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Look, it's really not some big capitalist conspiracy, I promise you.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Why don't you come down to the school and see what we're about?
0:21:10 > 0:21:17OK, as long as your kids know that your principles aren't more important than they are.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38DOOR CREAKS
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Right, that's the last of them.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44- Amazing. - What do we do now?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46We turn those into this.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51KNOCK ON DOOR
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Sorry to interrupt.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00I thought you should know you've created quite a stir
0:22:00 > 0:22:01giving all your Years 12s an A grade.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06The thing is, there seemed to be quite a discrepancy
0:22:06 > 0:22:10in quality between the scripts. You may want to think about that.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- What are you talking about? - Your coursework.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19I don't know what the English department's moderating procedures are...
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Eh, eh, em, ah...
0:22:22 > 0:22:24What has this got to do with you?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27I'm forewarning you. In my last school...
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Forewarning or passing judgement?
0:22:29 > 0:22:30No, no, not at all.
0:22:30 > 0:22:36You know, here is my advice, Audrey - keep that out of my business.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42I absolutely did not intend to make
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- a judgement on your professional capabilities.- Good.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51In all my years of teaching I have never been...
0:22:58 > 0:23:01You are a very ill-mannered woman.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Looks great.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Really original.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15My mum says there's no such thing as an original idea.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Do you see much of her?
0:23:17 > 0:23:18Not really.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22She sends us stuff, like clothes and food, but she's busy.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Dad says she steals money off people. She's a lawyer.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Right, let's get this down to the hall.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33- Anyone asks, it's all your own work, OK?- Sir...
0:23:33 > 0:23:36do you mind me asking... but why have you helped me?
0:23:36 > 0:23:40I mean, won't you get in trouble if they find out?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Nah, don't worry about that.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44My son, Josh, he's always having a go at me
0:23:44 > 0:23:46for not doing what feels right.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49You've got a chance. That's what counts.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57# It don't get much bigger than this
0:23:57 > 0:24:00# It don't get much bigger than this
0:24:00 > 0:24:03# It don't get much bigger than... #
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- This is great, Madi, well done. - It's only one piece of coursework.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Don't put yourself down.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11I think this proves you've got what it takes.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14You're not still thinking about the job on a cruise ship, are you?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Kind of, yeah.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20A good English grade would open so many doors for you.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Maybe you should reconsider?
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Hmm.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- Wicked bench, Mo. - Thanks.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32Kept this quiet.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35I thought Morag's bench got smashed up?
0:24:35 > 0:24:40Afternoon, everyone. It is amazing to see so many fabulous entries.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Well done.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47OK, let the judging begin.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58She accused me of cheating, of giving children grades they didn't deserve.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Well, that doesn't sound like Audrey.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Well, you didn't see her.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05And she's been discussing it with the whole class. Totally unprofessional.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Those papers should have been marked weeks ago and none of this would
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- have happened.- The exam board's sending out new marking guidelines,
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- you know what they're like.- OK, I'll have a word with her,
0:25:13 > 0:25:17- leave it with me.- She is bullying me. I want to lodge a complaint.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19That won't be necessary, Christine.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27An official complaint?
0:25:27 > 0:25:32I will not have my professional integrity impugned.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36OK, but I'll have to talk to her before any formal procedures begin.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38Thank you.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Scout says your mum works here. How awkward is that?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Yeah, a bit.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55So what about yours? How come you move around so much?
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Dad's an engineer, so we go where his work is.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Hey, it's a pity your mum's not one of the judges.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03All right, mate.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08You'll be fine. It looks amazing.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- It's not the bench I'm worried about.- Your mum?
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Sorry. She'll be fine.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16If it was good news she would have found me by now.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Connor, tell us about your bench.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23Right, OK, well, I spent six weeks on it, wasn't easy,
0:26:23 > 0:26:28and I was trying to go for a steampunk kind of thing.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Hey, feeling better?
0:26:35 > 0:26:37I can hardly breathe, I'm so nervous.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Hey, like I said, don't show it.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Act bored, they'll think you're super cool.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Thanks, I think.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44Hey, works for me.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Hey, Morag. This looks rustic.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Well, Morag's passionate about the environment, aren't you?
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Yeah, it's a really simple design and, erm...
0:27:00 > 0:27:02..and...sorry.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05It's OK, just relax, it looks really good.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08We've got a really high standard here.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09I'm so impressed.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Connor Mulgrew's - wow! That boy has vision.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15He's talented, he's innovative and artistic.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- Don't know where he gets that from. - Tom?
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Well, I thought Morag's was good, she's very creative.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Really? I thought it looked like the first time she'd ever seen the thing.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31All right, everyone, I know it's taken a bit of time
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- but we've reached our decision. - Mr Murray?
0:27:34 > 0:27:35The three finalists are...
0:27:38 > 0:27:39Connor Mulgrew.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Harley Taylor.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51And Morag Murray.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Did you put her up to this?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59No, absolutely not. I've no idea how this happened.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03I suppose she's just as determined as you are to do what
0:28:03 > 0:28:05she believes in.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21You don't need to come. I just want to tell her I'm in the final.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- Have they announced the winner yet? - You're drinking again?
0:28:37 > 0:28:39I've had one.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42I needed something to steady my nerves after the mess you've dropped
0:28:42 > 0:28:45me in. You and your little girlfriend. I know it was you.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47I was trying to help.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Help? You could have cost me my job.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52You said you wouldn't drink again.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54You promised.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58The doctor said if you took another drink you'd die.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Yeah, well, they got it wrong.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Blood tests are clear. There's nothing wrong with me.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09It says that you're improving, not that you're cured.
0:29:09 > 0:29:10Mum, you can't hit the drink again...
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Don't be so dramatic.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Leave it!
0:29:19 > 0:29:21I've got to go.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34You should have heard the woman. She was thoroughly vicious.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37So you're saying she just gave everyone an A grade?
0:29:37 > 0:29:38- Yes.- Why would she do that?
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Audrey, could I have a word?
0:29:40 > 0:29:41We're just about to...
0:29:41 > 0:29:42Now. Please?
0:29:46 > 0:29:51OK, everyone, let's make a start. Morag, you're up first.
0:29:51 > 0:29:52Just take your time, Morag.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56Talk us through your original idea for the bench.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Come on.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01It's good of you to come, to support your daughter.
0:30:01 > 0:30:02- You all right?- Bit scared.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Byrne persuaded me to come and have a look.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Doesn't mean I've changed my mind.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10I wanted to make something sustainable.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Something that doesn't affect the environment.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15OK. What's your design's number one selling point?
0:30:15 > 0:30:19We have so much rubbish that we could literally live off for years.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Benches like this don't cost anything to make.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25All I did was bring the wood back to life as a reusable product.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Thanks, Morag.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29OK, Connor.
0:30:29 > 0:30:30Has anyone seen him?
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Connor?
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Oh, there you are. Thought we'd lost you.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39OK, tell us, what was the thinking behind your design?
0:30:39 > 0:30:42I just wanted to make a bench. No big deal.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- And what inspired you? - What?
0:30:45 > 0:30:48What inspired you? Why did you enter the competition?
0:30:48 > 0:30:49£5,000.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Surely it was more than that? Come on, you're creative, aren't you?
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Nah, not really.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00It's just a bench.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01Somewhere to plonk your arse.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03LAUGHTER That's enough, Connor.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Harley, tell us about yours.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Cheating and bullying? I did nothing of the kind.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16All I said was that giving everyone the same grades might raise
0:31:16 > 0:31:18a few eyebrows, that maybe she should re-mark them.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21She didn't mark them in the first place, that was a pupil's idea
0:31:21 > 0:31:23- of a joke.- There you go. I don't see what the problem is.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26The problem is that you claimed that Christine has marked them.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28The inference being she was trying to gain
0:31:28 > 0:31:31an unfair advantage for her students.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Now obviously I have to investigate that further.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40- Leave it with me. - Thank you.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Connor, wait, what's wrong?
0:31:43 > 0:31:45You've probably just lost your chances of winning.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47I don't care about winning.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49- What happened? - Nothing happened,
0:31:49 > 0:31:52they're just asking really stupid questions, like you are now.
0:31:52 > 0:31:53It's your mum, isn't it?
0:31:53 > 0:31:56- Yeah, and thanks to you she's drinking again.- That's not fair.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- No?- Is it her results? What do the doctors say?
0:31:59 > 0:32:01She thinks there's nothing wrong with her.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02I don't understand.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06No, you don't.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11Right, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we have our winner.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Mr Byrne, everyone.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Thank you.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17First of all, I'd just like to congratulate
0:32:17 > 0:32:18all of you on your designs.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21I think it just goes to show what can be achieved when you
0:32:21 > 0:32:24properly apply yourselves to a task and, like Miss Donnegan,
0:32:24 > 0:32:28I look forward to a similar level of commitment with your exam courses.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31OK, now...
0:32:31 > 0:32:34the three finalists' benches will be on display in
0:32:34 > 0:32:38the foyer, so all that remains is to reveal who the winning designer is.
0:32:38 > 0:32:39Thank you.
0:32:39 > 0:32:44So moment of truth. This was quite a hard decision.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47This person has won for the simplicity and practicality
0:32:47 > 0:32:50of design. I'm pleased to announce that the winner is...
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Morag Murray.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Come on, let's hear you.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Morag, come and get your prize.
0:32:57 > 0:32:58Well done, Morag.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02And a little extra on top of the university fees - £1,000 cash.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04- Well done.- Lorraine?
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Spending money while she's at university. Dave..?
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Mr Murray, I'm so sorry. I didn't know about the money.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- I don't believe a word you say.- I understand. Could we not do this
0:33:12 > 0:33:14here, not in front of everyone, please?
0:33:14 > 0:33:15She's not getting away with it.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19I understand. I agree. Can we talk about this in my office? Please?
0:33:34 > 0:33:35What do you want?
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- Sorry, Mrs Mulgrew, I'm looking for Connor.- He's not here.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41I knew you'd blame Connor for the coursework. It was all my fault.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Well, I know that. Most of his daft ideas he gets from you.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46He's really upset. What happened?
0:33:46 > 0:33:49I am not discussing my family with you.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51I've never seen him like that before.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54He lost out on the bench competition because of it.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56You know, if you stop using him and lying to him...
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Don't you dare accuse me of lying!
0:33:59 > 0:34:01You know, the best thing you could do is to leave us alone.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04One day he'll leave. He'll get up and he won't come back.
0:34:04 > 0:34:10I know what he's like, Mrs Mulgrew. You think I don't, but I do.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Go away.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Christine. Christine, sorry, could I have a word?
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Really, I'm not in the mood.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23Michael's told me that you've made a complaint, saying that
0:34:23 > 0:34:25I accused you of cheating.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Bullied you?
0:34:27 > 0:34:28That's exactly what you did.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33I'm at a loss here, I merely pointed out...
0:34:33 > 0:34:36That my grades were wrong. That I was responsible.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Tell me, Audrey, what other conclusions should I have drawn
0:34:40 > 0:34:42if it wasn't that you thought I was cheating?
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Well, if that's how my remarks were interpreted...
0:34:46 > 0:34:49There is no other way to interpret them.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52The children got the same grades, so you thought...no,
0:34:52 > 0:34:55you were certain that I was a fraud.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Well, let me tell you, Audrey, you are the fraud.
0:35:00 > 0:35:05With your high-minded ideals and your so-called professionalism.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08You are nothing more than a malicious little gossip.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12I certainly never meant to cause you any offence.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14You've clearly got the wrong end of the stick.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Well, that's for Michael to decide.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18It's with him now.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Sian, you're a teacher, you would say that.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34It doesn't mean you're not capable of getting that mark.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36You couldn't believe it. I saw you face.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37That's not true.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Sian, it doesn't matter. I'm not bothered.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41I've made up my mind anyway.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Can you just stop for a second? Madi, stop.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Look, ten A stars couldn't stop me doing this.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48I'm taking the job, there's nothing you, nor anyone else,
0:35:48 > 0:35:49can do to make me change my mind!
0:35:49 > 0:35:53Would you listen to yourself?! You sound like a twelve-year-old.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56I'm sorry, Madi, but it's true. It's time you grew up.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Well, how am I supposed to do that if I'm sponging off you?
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Ah!
0:36:10 > 0:36:11Kevin, come in, please.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15Welcome to Maths, the key to the door of all science.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Uh-oh, who let one out for the day? LAUGHTER
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Kevin has joined us
0:36:21 > 0:36:24and I have a feeling he's a bit of a maths whizz-kid.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27You going to keep up on our toes, are you?
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Are you some kind of brainiac or summat?
0:36:29 > 0:36:30As if.
0:36:30 > 0:36:35Now your starter question, on the board, say what - five minutes?
0:36:37 > 0:36:40How about five seconds for you, eh, Kev?
0:36:40 > 0:36:42I don't think we've done this, sir.
0:36:46 > 0:36:51You, er, finished already, have you?
0:36:51 > 0:36:53No, sir, this is way too hard. RABBLE
0:36:53 > 0:36:56All right, all right.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58I was just seeing if Kev here could show us how it's done.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Obviously not.
0:37:01 > 0:37:02I dunno who told you I was a
0:37:02 > 0:37:04whizz-kid, sir, but it might have
0:37:04 > 0:37:07been the person who told you that shirt and tie combo was a good idea.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13That's it, now that's enough, please, thank you.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Look, I do understand, but that money is strictly for university fees.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19As far as I'm concerned it's bribery, pure and simple.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22You're a freegan, yeah? Doesn't that mean you believe in freedom?
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Freedom to choose? Take money if it's offered?
0:37:24 > 0:37:28We believe in community, social concerns, cooperation,
0:37:28 > 0:37:31things you obviously know nothing about.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- KNOCK ON DOOR - Yes?
0:37:34 > 0:37:35Sorry to interrupt.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Morag, just the girl we want.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42We've...I've got a confession to make.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45I helped Morag with her bench.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Yeah, so?
0:37:47 > 0:37:48So she cheated?
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Well, it was her design. I just helped her build it.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Look, after what he did this morning I just didn't want to
0:37:53 > 0:37:55- let her down. I'm sorry. - Me too, miss.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59I hardly recognise you.
0:38:00 > 0:38:01This isn't Morag's fault.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05Right, listen, this problem's easily solved.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07I'll just announce Connor as the winner and that'll be it.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10And, to be honest, I thought you showed great initiative
0:38:10 > 0:38:13and guts, Morag, but rules are rules and you broke them.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15You should be proud of her - even after what you did,
0:38:15 > 0:38:16she didn't give up.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Tom, a word.
0:38:21 > 0:38:22I sent my kids to this school
0:38:22 > 0:38:25because I thought I was getting them the best possible education.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26Of course.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29But it turns out that you people are more concerned with creating
0:38:29 > 0:38:31the next generation of consumers and capitalists.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Well, look...
0:38:33 > 0:38:35I'm taking my children out of this school.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37There's no need to make snap decisions...
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Morag, go and get Ewan.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42We have to have the courage of our convictions.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44You're assuming...
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Me and Ewan never had a choice.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51I want things too, Dad. I want to live a normal life.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31She's really vulnerable. I don't know what to do.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Tom, I understand you had to help her.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Girl's got talent. It's just a shame her dad holds her back.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38I know I shouldn't have done it.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41I just felt sorry for her, that money would have changed her life.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44You couldn't just give her the cash anyway, could you?
0:39:44 > 0:39:45You saw what she was up against.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Listen, next time you want to play
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Good Samaritan don't do it on my time, yeah?
0:39:49 > 0:39:51I don't appreciate being made to look like a fool.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13Tom? Tom, I'm looking for Connor, any sign of him?
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Listen, something's happened. There's white spirit all over
0:40:16 > 0:40:18these benches. Somebody wants to start a fire.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Keep people away. Michael needs to know about this.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24It's just not the kind of school I wanted for you.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26But I don't want to leave.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28- I love it here. - Well said, Morag.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Here she comes, Briber-in-Chief.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Making sure her greed poisons everything.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36It might surprise you to know, Mr Murray, that one of my
0:40:36 > 0:40:39companies won Ethical Business of the Year three years running.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Here you go, Morag, call it compensation, you deserve it.
0:40:42 > 0:40:43Lorraine, that's not helping.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45I think she should decide that, don't you?
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Thanks, miss, but I can't accept it.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Michael, we've got a situation.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54I think somebody's tried to set fire to the benches in the foyer,
0:40:54 > 0:40:55covered them in this.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Thanks, Tom. This will have to wait.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Just keep moving along, please.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07- Anybody got a match? - On your way, you.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12Hi.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16I'm sorry about earlier. It wasn't your fault.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20I'm on your side, you know. Don't treat me like a punchbag.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22The coursework was a big mistake.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25I promise I'll never take it out on you again.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Everybody keep moving, please. Where's Christine?
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Right, we need to get to the bottom of this. Round this lot up.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32- The bell's gone! - I don't care. Lecture hall, now.
0:41:34 > 0:41:35Who wants some money?
0:41:35 > 0:41:37- CHEERING - Mr Murray!
0:41:37 > 0:41:41Mr Murray, get down from there or I'm calling the police.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Dad, what are you doing?
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Redistribution of wealth, Morag.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Lorraine, this is your enterprise ethos in action - successful?
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Get these kids out of here!
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Right, everybody, lecture hall now! Come on. Get up!
0:42:06 > 0:42:07I would never sent you here
0:42:07 > 0:42:10if I knew that this school promoted this kind of greed.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12You sent her to this school because it was free. Because I'm paying.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15- Yeah, yeah, I've had just about... - Dad, please!
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Whoa, whoa, that's enough, thank you, Mr Murray.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19I thought you were a man of principles.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21It turns out you're a sell-out just like the rest of them.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Stop it!
0:42:24 > 0:42:26You happy now?!
0:42:27 > 0:42:29You proved your point!
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Listen to your daughter, Mr Murray.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36- I'm so sorry, miss. - No, I'm sorry, Morag.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41My office is free.
0:43:00 > 0:43:01Hi.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08I'm sorry about my attitude earlier.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11I do really appreciate everything you've done for me.
0:43:11 > 0:43:16It me that should be apologising. It's your life and I shouldn't judge.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19No, you were right. I need to grow up.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23It just feels like the right thing to do.
0:43:25 > 0:43:30Don't tell Mr Byrne I said this but academic success...
0:43:30 > 0:43:32it's not the be all and end all.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34You think I should go for it?
0:43:34 > 0:43:38Well, seeing the world, experiencing different cultures...
0:43:38 > 0:43:39Getting paid for the privilege.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41Meeting interesting people.
0:43:41 > 0:43:42Meeting fit blokes on ships.
0:43:42 > 0:43:44I meant you could learn a language.
0:43:44 > 0:43:49All right, meeting fit French blokes, meeting fit Spanish blokes.
0:43:53 > 0:43:57Come on, let's go let Mr Byrne know.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01Oh, my god. This is weird.
0:44:02 > 0:44:04So that was my last day?
0:44:05 > 0:44:07It's OK, I'll come visit.
0:44:07 > 0:44:09- You'll be on a boat. - Actually, it's a ship.
0:44:11 > 0:44:13I'm going to miss you, come here.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22Quiet!
0:44:24 > 0:44:25Lorraine, anything you want to say?
0:44:28 > 0:44:31Right, that carry-on in the foyer just now was a disgrace.
0:44:31 > 0:44:35All money will be handed back to Mr Budgen.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37Someone tried to set fire to those benches.
0:44:39 > 0:44:41Police have been called, and I expect each
0:44:41 > 0:44:45and every one of you to cooperate fully with their investigations.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48Playing with fire is no laughing matter!
0:44:51 > 0:44:53People can get hurt...
0:44:53 > 0:44:55or even killed.
0:44:57 > 0:45:02The person who is responsible for this will be caught.
0:45:02 > 0:45:05- Right, let's go home. - Come on.
0:45:08 > 0:45:10Thanks for your support in there.
0:45:10 > 0:45:13I don't think your blanket threats were very helpful.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15- It needed to be said, Lorraine. - Not like that!
0:45:15 > 0:45:17A critical situation and I dealt with it.
0:45:17 > 0:45:20Unlike you, this is not a hobby for me.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22That is out of order.
0:45:22 > 0:45:25Anyone fancy a bonfire? Got plenty of wood for it.
0:45:25 > 0:45:28Something about this situation strike you as funny, Mr Skelton?
0:45:29 > 0:45:32Haven't you heard of the healing power of laughter?
0:45:32 > 0:45:36Don't worry about Kevin, Mr Byrne, he's very clever.
0:45:36 > 0:45:38It's a shame his parents didn't teach him any manners.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52Hi.
0:45:52 > 0:45:53What's going on?
0:45:57 > 0:46:01I asked Mr Clarkson to contact Mum.
0:46:01 > 0:46:02I don't believe it.
0:46:04 > 0:46:07She has no right being here, I've got custody, yeah?
0:46:07 > 0:46:09The hell are you people playing at?
0:46:09 > 0:46:11Hang on, she's not here.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15She couldn't get away from work. She'll call you later, OK?
0:46:15 > 0:46:17Typical.
0:46:17 > 0:46:21Utterly selfish. Me, me, me, me, all the time.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24Morag, Morag, you see what she's like?
0:46:24 > 0:46:27But I'll tell you what, if you want to go live with her,
0:46:27 > 0:46:28that's fine.
0:46:28 > 0:46:32I'm sure she'll buy you these mobile phones you so desperately need.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35- Mr Murray.- This is absolutely none of your business.
0:46:35 > 0:46:39I know that. Just listen to what Morag has to say, please?
0:46:39 > 0:46:42I didn't ask Mr Clarkson to get Mum to come
0:46:42 > 0:46:45so that I'll live with her. I just want to be able to talk to her.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48I just want you two to be able to talk to each other,
0:46:48 > 0:46:51to show that I'm not against anyone.
0:46:51 > 0:46:55I love my family, you and Mum.
0:46:56 > 0:46:58I don't want to move away.
0:46:58 > 0:46:59Well, I thought...
0:47:02 > 0:47:05..I thought you'd had your head turned by your mother's money.
0:47:05 > 0:47:10Mum's made choices that hurt, but so have you.
0:47:12 > 0:47:15How come you get to pick and choose and I don't?!
0:47:20 > 0:47:23I'm going to leave you to it, OK?
0:47:24 > 0:47:27But it seems to me like there's a compromise to be had here
0:47:27 > 0:47:30without chucking your principles out of the window.
0:47:40 > 0:47:41Hey.
0:47:42 > 0:47:43Hey, you.
0:47:47 > 0:47:48After your mother left...
0:47:50 > 0:47:51..I looked after you and your
0:47:51 > 0:47:54brother, yeah? I did my best to make sure you were both OK.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56I know that.
0:47:56 > 0:48:00You and Ewan come first.
0:48:00 > 0:48:02Always.
0:48:03 > 0:48:08And you're right, the way I live my life and the way your mother
0:48:08 > 0:48:09lives hers...
0:48:12 > 0:48:13..it doesn't have to be how you live yours.
0:48:16 > 0:48:17Compromise, hmm?
0:48:18 > 0:48:19Like old Clarkson said.
0:48:21 > 0:48:22Come here, you.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28I'm going to go for it.
0:48:28 > 0:48:30Well, it looks like you both made up your minds.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32We wish you lots of luck, Madi.
0:48:32 > 0:48:35Thank you, sir, for everything, it's been great.
0:48:38 > 0:48:39Can you give us a minute?
0:48:39 > 0:48:40Of course.
0:48:42 > 0:48:44Your mother sent this for you.
0:48:46 > 0:48:48Go on, give her a call.
0:48:48 > 0:48:49Thanks, Dad.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56It's good to see a father connecting with his offspring.
0:48:58 > 0:49:00Well, that's subtle.
0:49:03 > 0:49:05Here.
0:49:05 > 0:49:06What's this?
0:49:06 > 0:49:09Some research. Try and buy you and your father more time.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15So chocolate stop on the way home?
0:49:15 > 0:49:19No, I'm going to pay for dinner tonight, to say thank you.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21You're treating me? Sounds good.
0:49:21 > 0:49:25Course you're going to have to sub me the money just until I get paid.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30Connor!
0:49:30 > 0:49:32- Maybe you should talk to her. - I don't want to.
0:49:33 > 0:49:35Connor, I need to speak to you.
0:49:35 > 0:49:36You go, I'll catch up.
0:49:40 > 0:49:43You won the competition, The Murray girl, she cheated.
0:49:43 > 0:49:46I know. Imogen told me.
0:49:48 > 0:49:50Of course she did. Come to my classroom.
0:49:50 > 0:49:52I'm going back to Imogen's.
0:49:52 > 0:49:54Five minutes, that's all I'm asking.
0:49:56 > 0:49:58That one is walking around telling me
0:49:58 > 0:50:00and everyone how she gets you and I don't.
0:50:00 > 0:50:04That's because she does, and I get her, so you better get used to it.
0:50:04 > 0:50:05You haven't even known her a term.
0:50:05 > 0:50:07Mum, stop!
0:50:07 > 0:50:10This thing you've got about Imogen,
0:50:10 > 0:50:12it's getting really, really boring.
0:50:14 > 0:50:17# Don't know the truth, but we can lie
0:50:18 > 0:50:19# Lie
0:50:19 > 0:50:21# Lie
0:50:21 > 0:50:23# Lie here together
0:50:23 > 0:50:24# Lie
0:50:24 > 0:50:25# Lie
0:50:25 > 0:50:27# Lie
0:50:27 > 0:50:29# Lie here together
0:50:31 > 0:50:36# Good things come to those who don't wait for the right time
0:50:36 > 0:50:37# For the right place
0:50:37 > 0:50:42# Good things come to those who don't wait for the right time... #
0:50:42 > 0:50:45I just think we should slow things down a bit, all right?
0:50:45 > 0:50:47Try to communicate a bit better.
0:50:47 > 0:50:50I saw what happened today, Michael, lesson learned.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52But neither you or I would be here today
0:50:52 > 0:50:55if I quit at the first sign of trouble.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57ENGINE ROARS
0:50:57 > 0:50:59# Don't know the truth, but we can lie
0:50:59 > 0:51:00# Lie
0:51:00 > 0:51:01# Lie
0:51:01 > 0:51:03# Lie

0:51:17 > 0:51:18MAN COUGHS
0:51:19 > 0:51:21Just a minute.
0:51:21 > 0:51:23Me, Dad, take your time.
0:51:29 > 0:51:30Sorry, son.
0:51:44 > 0:51:45MAN COUGHS
0:51:48 > 0:51:50- Need your oxygen?- No, I'm OK.
0:51:50 > 0:51:53I'm OK. Put the kettle on.
0:51:53 > 0:51:55I'll get a key cut.
0:51:57 > 0:52:00How's things going at school?
0:52:00 > 0:52:01Aye, well.
0:52:01 > 0:52:04Sian said you liked minestrone.
0:52:04 > 0:52:05What?
0:52:07 > 0:52:08You don't like it?
0:52:09 > 0:52:12I didn't have the heart to tell her, hate the stuff,
0:52:12 > 0:52:15I'm a pea-and-ham man. Oh, don't you tell her, though.
0:52:15 > 0:52:17Don't want to hurt her feelings.
0:52:18 > 0:52:22No, I won't say a word. I think her visits are good medicine for you.
0:52:22 > 0:52:25Right, cup of tea coming up.
0:52:30 > 0:52:32- You OK? - Yeah, I'm good.
0:52:37 > 0:52:38That tea going to be long?
0:53:08 > 0:53:09Daniel Chalk.
0:53:09 > 0:53:11If you just take a seat over there.
0:53:21 > 0:53:22Kevin?
0:53:25 > 0:53:28So what are you doing here?
0:53:28 > 0:53:30I'm here to see my social worker.
0:53:31 > 0:53:33Social worker, why?
0:53:34 > 0:53:36I'm in foster care.
0:53:36 > 0:53:38I thought you lived with your mum and dad?
0:53:38 > 0:53:41No. I was raised by three bears in the wood.
0:53:44 > 0:53:47So that stuff about your dad being an engineer...?
0:53:53 > 0:53:55At school, I don't like to talk about it.
0:53:55 > 0:53:57Well, don't worry, I won't say anything.
0:54:04 > 0:54:05So why are you here?
0:54:08 > 0:54:12Well...I've, I've got a meeting with a...
0:54:13 > 0:54:17..a meeting about being a foster carer. If they'll have me.
0:54:20 > 0:54:22Ah, Soduko, I love them,
0:54:22 > 0:54:23Sudoku.
0:54:24 > 0:54:27Yeah, it was on the table.
0:54:31 > 0:54:32Hoo, blimey.
0:54:34 > 0:54:36I'd struggle with some of these.
0:54:40 > 0:54:44Look, I don't understand, why... why do you hide your ability?
0:54:44 > 0:54:46I don't.
0:54:48 > 0:54:51That problem in class, you knew how to do it, didn't you?
0:54:56 > 0:54:58Being smart singles you out.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01I'd rather just go under the radar, there's enough about me
0:55:01 > 0:55:04- that's different already. - Yeah, but Kevin...
0:55:04 > 0:55:07Can we just drop it?
0:55:07 > 0:55:09Sorry, I didn't mean to, um...
0:55:15 > 0:55:18Mr Chalk?
0:55:18 > 0:55:19I'll see you at school.
0:55:30 > 0:55:34Here, I'll get that. I'm not in the knacker's yard yet.
0:55:34 > 0:55:36You sit where you are.
0:55:38 > 0:55:41Sorry, son, I tire easy.
0:55:41 > 0:55:43- Can I get you anything?- No.
0:55:57 > 0:56:00Dad, Sian found me some research.
0:56:00 > 0:56:03Look. These are trials for new drug treat...
0:56:03 > 0:56:05Tell her thanks but not for me.
0:56:05 > 0:56:08- They're worth a look.- Michael, I've had a decent innings.- Dad.
0:56:08 > 0:56:12No, it's all right, son. I've lived probably longer than I deserve.
0:56:12 > 0:56:13We've been through that.
0:56:13 > 0:56:17Look, I'm not one for rubbish talk but it's not for me.
0:56:17 > 0:56:19I'm going to die.
0:56:26 > 0:56:28Do you want to know something?
0:56:32 > 0:56:33I'm proud of you.
0:56:35 > 0:56:38I never stopped being proud of you.
0:56:38 > 0:56:43But I don't want you upset on my account. I don't deserve it.
0:56:45 > 0:56:50But some, some of these new treatments can make a difference...
0:56:50 > 0:56:52Look, I've read all about them. No. It's not for me.
0:56:54 > 0:56:57You coming back, that's my difference.
0:57:00 > 0:57:02I just wish we'd done it sooner.
0:57:09 > 0:57:11I've got something to ask you.
0:57:11 > 0:57:14- A favour. - Anything, just say it.
0:57:14 > 0:57:18Doc says I've got three months, maybe four.
0:57:18 > 0:57:19I don't want that.
0:57:21 > 0:57:24I want to go when I choose, here...
0:57:24 > 0:57:26with my family beside me,
0:57:30 > 0:57:31You do that for me, son?
0:57:33 > 0:57:35Will you help me die?
0:57:43 > 0:57:44She's a bully.
0:57:44 > 0:57:46I don't see how talking is going to change that.
0:57:46 > 0:57:49- Why don't you back off and leave my mum alone?- I beg your pardon.
0:57:49 > 0:57:50It's big enough for an elephant.
0:57:50 > 0:57:52Just give me that and get out.
0:57:52 > 0:57:54The way you look makes you unhappy, doesn't it?
0:57:54 > 0:57:56She has no place in a school like this.
0:57:59 > 0:58:02You know, she's got a point, you're not right in the head.
0:58:02 > 0:58:04Oh, grow up, Connor.
0:58:04 > 0:58:06If you tell anyone, I'll kill you.
0:58:06 > 0:58:07I won't, I promise.
0:58:11 > 0:58:12Doesn't it hurt?
