Episode 13 Waterloo Road

-Congratulations.

-I don't get it.

-You are taking that job.

-Will you be my civil partner?

-No.

I'll be your wife, though.

My mum is not a dinner lady.

Then how come Rhiannon just saw her in the toilets wearing

a polyester uniform?

Do you want me to rip that tongue out of your head?

You keep your sweaty hands away from me.

Do you know how much money you cost me tonight?

-I'm sorry.

-What's this?

-Loss of earnings?

Hey, you.

This is the last time I'm going to wake up next to you like this.

That's the last of the charity shop stuff.

Connor, Connor. Connor, you can't get rid of all this.

These are memories.

You're throwing out Stripey?

Mum, I think it's time to let go.

Hey.

Well, I think it's about time we got on our way.

I'm going to wait here with Connor for his taxi.

Imogen, we discussed this - school for both of us.

You have a presentation, remember?

I'll be glad when we get a place of our own. That bed is like a rock.

Now that we're betrothed and all.

-I guess I should start looking, really.

-You forgot this.

Oh, right. I thought it was in my bag.

-You got a text from Eve.

-Oh.

-I already texted her back.

-What?

Just to say that you can't wait to see her.

That's all right, yeah?

Yeah, it's fine.

Are you sure you're OK?

I just didn't sleep very well.

That'll be the bed.

I'll make sure you're on form for tonight, for Eve.

Hey, we'll be like a proper little family.

Yeah.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Imogen, do you mind if I have a moment with Connor?

I'll wait in the car.

You are going to be awesome.

I'll text you when I get on the plane.

My little boy, out on his own in the big wide world.

Come here. I want a proper hug.

PHONE BUZZES

It's the restaurant. I've got to take this.

Hello?

Yeah, speaking...

I'll be home in a few weeks to visit.

Sorry. Yeah, that's great news.

Right, brilliant.

Oh, Vix sent me a picture.

Oh! Oh, that is beautiful.

Right. Thank you.

It's all happening so quickly - not a criticism, just an observation.

Yeah, it's been a bit of a whirlwind.

Yeah, and meeting Eve this weekend. I mean, Vix can't wait.

That's one lucky daughter you've got there.

Two mums to look after her.

Oh.

-Is that Connor?

-Yep. Thanks for the lift.

-Do you fancy a takeaway tomorrow night?

-Just me and you?

Yeah, well, I'll need a hand

to sort out a few more things to send to Connor.

You know what he's like.

-He's probably only packed two pairs of socks.

-Erm...

..yeah, OK.

-Morning.

-Morning.

So did Connor get off all right?

Christine, could I have a quick word about the Resilience Camp?

Simon, I'm running a bit behind.

Can you put something in the diary with Sonya? Thanks.

Can I get to my desk first, please?

Sorry.

Don't know where I'm supposed to slot you in.

She's timetabled herself to teach for most of the day.

I think she's keeping herself busy, you know,

with Connor flying the nest and that.

Darren!

Ball!

Ah, Miss, don't be harsh.

Sir...

..any Friday night plans?

If I did, it would certainly be none of your business.

Yeah, well, I was joking, so chill out.

DYNASTY SNIFFS

Do you smell that? I think it's...

Yeah, it is - desperation.

What was that? Sorry, it's just your accent.

It's particularly incomprehensible today.

He's gone.

Oh, babes.

BELL RINGS

Imogen, you have e-mailed me that Midsummer project, haven't you?

Imogen, you have done it?

Look at them, like two peas in a bag.

Maybe we'll be like that one day.

OK, everyone. Ms McFall is running late.

Can anyone tell me what you have been studying?

Gabriella?

We've been studying the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution.

Thank you.

Sir, do you fancy Gabriella?

CLASS: Oooh!

Of course I don't.

Gabriella, he doesn't fancy you, so get a life!

Dynasty, don't be mean.

OK, settle down, please.

Open your books to wherever you last were. Silent reading.

So what do you think... about the best friend thing?

Every friendship comes to an end, Rhi-Rhi...some sooner than others.

Why don't we end with something like, "Hopefully,

"as we've demonstrated, the course of true love never does run smooth"?

Yeah. Oh, I like it. I like it a lot.

If she touches my fella again...

Er...

..excuse me, but I wasn't aware that JD Salinger

-wrote A Midsummer Night's Dream.

-Sorry, Miss, but we've got

a really big presentation due for Mrs Mulgrew this afternoon.

Not on my time, please.

-Dynasty?

-I'm saving it, Miss.

All right, just carry on quietly.

Hey.

-Thanks for coming.

-Are you OK? You really freaked me out on the phone.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, everything's fine, um...

Wow! Another big step!

Oh, no, that's not what this is, um...

I need you to clear out your stuff.

-Are you breaking up with me?

-No.

No, it's just...it's a bit soon for Eve,

but if you can just make sure it looks like it's just me.

Where's your engagement ring?

I did that for Eve's sake, not me.

Oh, how gallant of you(!)

I knew you'd react like this.

A martyr and a mind-reader - how lucky can a girl get?

What are you so afraid of?

Could you do this for me or not?

Yeah.

So, what's the panic, big man?

We don't have enough staff volunteers for the Resilience Camp.

-I can't get us insured.

-What does that mean?

If we don't have the numbers, Christine will pull the whole thing -

and that's that. End of.

No, she wouldn't, would she?

She won't have a choice. No-one's interested.

Well, I am. The kids certainly are.

I'm sure Christine is.

Then we need to do something to try to convince the rest of the staff

that it's worth saving.

What are you doing?

Thinking.

Are you're sure this is going to work?

I have absolutely no idea, but it's worth a shot.

When you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose, right?

That's a good one, mate.

Get that one out a fortune cracker, did you?

It's fortune cookie, actually.

Good point.

Hey, are we still bowling tonight?

Bowling? How wholesome.

I thought it was just us two?

It is. And Kevin.

Oh. Right. Um...you guys go.

I fancy a night in, I think.

Or if you fancy a girls' night out, I'm up for it.

Thanks, that's really kind of you, but I should stay in.

I've been out every night with Connor this week.

I'm going to go get a drink from the canteen.

-Do you want anything?

-Yeah.

Yeah, all right. I'll come.

So are we all set for the presentation?

All done and dusted, babe.

Took your time, didn't you?

I thought I was going to get busted.

Nice work, Rhi-Rhi.

How do you know his PIN?

It's his date of birth.

How do you know his date of birth?

-It's on his Facebook.

-Oh.

See, look at his calendar - he IS out tonight...

..which means so am I.

Hey, I forgot my wallet.

Thanks.

Er, Kevin, I don't really want to go bowling any more.

Can I just come round to yours or something?

Yeah, OK. Cool. I'll, um, I'll download a film or something.

What you want to see?

-I don't know. You choose.

-All right. Thanks.

-Ha-ha, nice one, Miss.

-You'll be laughing

on the other side of your face in a minute. Get to class.

-I've not got my food yet.

-You heard Mrs Barry, to your lesson - now.

Erm...

Have you changed your number?

Sorry?

Did you not get my message?

I got your messages, all of them.

Yeah, well, what's the matter then?

I just think with you here now full time,

this is not entirely appropriate.

I thought you were, you know, keen?

PHONE RINGS

Yes, Mother?

There's a car picking you up from the station, I did tell you this.

Yes. Yes, I've booked you first-class. Yes, Mother.

No, Mother.

Bye, Mother.

First-class? It's all right for some.

Do you know what? I think

he might be one of the most annoying men I've ever met in my life.

Yeah, and the fact that he's minted

-makes him even more annoying, don't it? Anyway, pound.

-Cheers.

-Cheers.

Right, Victor Hugo. Anyone tell me anything about him?

-Anyone at all?

-Didn't he write that film, sir, with Anne Hathaway?

Giving that he died in 1885, that would be quite some feat.

He actually penned the novel upon which the film was based.

He actually did. I thought I'd done enough of these, but obviously not.

Imogen, do you want to come with me to the school office

-and wait for the print-outs?

-Can't you just give me the code?

Last time I gave the photocopying code to a student,

it resulted in 200 copies being made of my face

attached to the body of a gazelle.

I'm not asking you to draw blood, come on.

Keep the noise down, everyone. Thank you.

I just wanted to say how great it's been working with Kevin

on the Midsummer Night's Dream project.

You know, it's a compliment, you're a really cute couple.

Thanks.

Such fantastic news about his bursary application at Edinburgh.

He's frighteningly bright.

And did you hear, I got an interview at Oxford? Magdalen College.

Although, I'm not too sure, though,

what with all the offers from LSE, Durham and Warwick.

Listen to me, I'm babbling.

You're still waiting on your media studies course, right?

How do you know?

Imogen told me.

Now, out of interest, do they give grants to people like you?

Only it would be such a shame if people from

a lower socioeconomic scale were discouraged from higher education.

Then again, you could always go work in the canteen with your mum.

I don't need this.

Mum?

What's the matter?

Is it that Kevin?

I'll chop his little noodle off if he's been messing you about.

It's not Kevin.

Well, what, then?

I didn't get in to uni.

Well, at least you gave it a go.

Is that all you've got to say?

If there's something I've learned the hard way, it's that life's

not fair. You've just got to get back on that horse and keep riding.

What's the point when other people get things handed to them

on a plate?

Rich parents, nice holidays, everything first-class.

We get nothing, Mum.

We've got each other.

Come here, give us a hug, you big softie.

Whereas most of the fairies are beautiful and ethereal,

Puck is often portrayed as being somewhat funny-looking.

Another fairy mentions that they call Puck a "hobgoblin",

a term decidedly less glamorous than that of a fairy,

but, glamorous or not, hopefully we've demonstrated is that...

TOGETHER: ..the course of true love never did run smooth.

Excellent, both of you. Really excellent work.

Dynasty, where have you been? The class is almost over.

I didn't feel well, Miss.

Well, as you're here, I'd like to see your presentation, please.

Imogen?

Are you OK?

In your own time.

William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream demonstrates

the various headstrong women that were restrained by society.

Did you save it?

Girls, is there a problem?

Dynasty can't find the slides.

Don't blame me. I did the work.

May I make a suggestion?

You can shut up!

OK, outside, now...

..both of you.

When I set a task, I expect it to be completed.

I did the work, Miss.

So where is it?

I don't know.

And that's the best excuse you can come up with, "I don't know"?

-She worked hard, Miss. She did.

-Thank you, Imogen. I was asking Dynasty.

Yeah, and I'm telling you.

Oh, lunch-time and after-school detention for both of you.

I didn't do nothing.

BELL RINGS

Babe, what was that about?

If you're still up for that night out, I'm in.

Come here.

Hmm! The Teenager And You. Wow, that's dedication...

if a little bit weird.

You were in the Army, right?

Whatever the punch line is...

No, there is no punch line. I need your help.

-We need your help.

-Who's "we"?

Guys, if I could just have a few moments?

I know lunch-times are precious, so I'll keep it short.

We're really struggling for volunteers for the Resilience Camp.

I can't imagine why.

Hard enough keeping up with the curriculum as it is.

So, give us an opportunity to change your mind.

Let us show you what this Resilience Camp means - not to me,

but to our students,

and if that's not enough, there will also be cheese and wine!

So, hopefully, see you all here, yeah, after school? Thanks.

Er, Simon, Simon?

You said we were going to get a new hoover tonight?

Yeah, we will. We'll go after.

And where are we getting all this cheese and wine from,

and have you cleared it with Christine?

Didn't think so.

Christine, can I have a word?

I'm afraid not, I'm up to my eyes in it,

so could you put something in the diary for Monday?

I heard you've timetabled yourself in this afternoon?

Yeah, yeah, it's good to get back on the shop floor.

Mrs Dalloway, always giving parties to cover the silence.

Sorry. You've lost me there.

Mum used to get the blues

when I was younger and it got really bad when I left for university.

Connor's been gone a matter of hours.

I've hardly gone to pieces just yet.

Sorry, didn't want to pry.

Then what did you want?

I wanted to talk to you about the Resilience Camp.

Simon, please, I do not have the time to talk about this again!

Whatever... Whatever it is, just sort it, OK?

Understood.

You OK?

Fine.

You?

What's wrong? What's happened?

Can we go out later, just us?

I'll tell Kevin he can't come.

-I said I'd go out with Gabriella.

-What?

-Come with us if you want.

-No, you're all right.

You two have probably got something really intelligent to talk about.

Imogen, back in your seat, please.

Dynasty?

Fish and chips, please.

Certainly.

-Would you like a nice little slice of lemon with that?

-Thank you.

That would be lovely.

Er, Mrs Barry, can I have a quick word?

If it's about the nuggets, the kids like them dark and crispy.

No. I'm hosting some drinks after school, cheese, wine, nibbles,

that sort of thing, erm, for the staff.

That's really kind of you but I can't make tonight, sorry.

Actually, I was wondering if you'd cater?

I can offer a fee.

A real page-turner, eh? Apologies about the ambush.

Si beat me to it. It's all very last minute.

Well, it's lucky for you I've got a free period this afternoon.

I noticed...earlier.

Also noticed that you weren't wearing your engagement ring?

I took it off when I was washing-up.

I know you think... I'm a bit of a joker,

that I can't take anything seriously, but...

..if you ever did want to talk,

it wouldn't go any further.

-I'm fine.

-Cool.

So next lesson - there is something I forgot to mention.

OK, everyone, come on, gather round, gather round.

Bit of hush, please.

So, you've all seen and had a go on the assault course before,

and a small number of you have even succeeded,

but today you will all succeed.

In your teams, you will help your comrades across the finish line.

Consider this your Everest.

Do we have to, Sir?

Yes, we do. And today we have company.

Sergeant Boston?

Everyone in line. Now.

Why are we getting filmed, Miss?

Silence!

Actually, I probably should answer this one.

We're giving a presentation this evening to the rest of the staff

about the Resilience Camp and we want to showcase you guys. Carry on.

All right.

Your mission, if you accept, which obviously you will...

..is to conquer this assault course.

No man, no woman, is to be left behind.

I want two teams with two captains. Put your hands up.

-Anyone else?

-Me, Sir. I will.

Gabriella Wark. Dynasty Barry.

Come here, pick you teams.

-Kevin.

-Rhiannon.

-Imogen.

-Megan.

-Emma.

-Brian.

-David.

Right, get behind the line. Organise yourselves.

OK, everybody. Remember, teamwork makes the dream work.

Are you ready? Three, two, one.

WHISTLE IS BLOWN

This isn't just about the brawn, it's about the brain!

Very good. Keep going!

You're only as good as the weakest member of your team.

All right, next one over! Next one over!

Remember, guys, it's not just about the physical.

SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

Keep those knees up, knees up, knees up, knees up!

That's it. You're into the final furlong now, guys, come on.

Let's press on. Go, go, go!

Great work! Come on!

You can make it!

You're only as good as your weakest link.

Let's go! Right to the end!

Come on, guys, you're almost there!

Keep going, keep going!

All the way!

One more to go. Go, go, go!

WHISTLE IS BLOWN

CHEERING

Good work, Sergeant!

Dynasty, you beat me, fair and square.

Why did you let her win?

I thought she could use a confidence boost.

What did you just say?!

You think you're so superior, you, don't you?

-Dynasty, calm down.

-Babe, what do you mean?

It's that awful accent again.

COMMOTION

GABRIELLA SCREAMS

Dynasty, get off!

Are you OK?

I think so.

Er, Miss Barry, the bell hasn't gone, come back.

Oh, let her go.

You can, er, stop with the Sergeant Boston thing now if you want.

Role-playing, it's over.

Seriously, I think what you and Simon are doing is...

it's really something.

-What?

-I'm just waiting for the inevitable barb

that follows one of your compliments.

Er, yes? Can I help you?

-Eve!

-Hey.

-What are you doing here?

-The train was cheaper in the afternoon,

so I thought I'd come and surprise you.

Great. Brilliant.

Oh, um, Mr Reid, this is Eve.

She's my...daughter.

Hi.

Sorry, I hope it's OK that I'm here?

Yeah, of course it is. We'll go and grab a...

tea, a cup of tea.

-Right, um, yeah. Can you finish up here?

-Sure.

-How are you?

-I'm OK. Sorry I'm dressed like this.

Just been...

Couldn't you rustle up some sausage rolls...or something?

-I'd have to turn the ovens back on.

-What does that mean?

Another twenty quid.

Can you check the wine? I got a few different bottles...

but I don't know whether they're any good and do you know what?

-It's, like, really stressing me out.

-Just pour 'em.

SHE SIGHS

I know a bit about wine.

-Really?

-Mm-hm.

-Do you think could... give me some advice?

BELL RINGS

Well, I am now officially off duty.

Is Mrs Mulgrew coming or what?

Dynasty, you were like an animal in there.

-I thought you were going to kill her.

-I should of.

Gabriella let you win that stupid race

to make you feel good about yourself, because she's a nice person.

I've seen people like her before,

stuck-up toffs who think they're better than everyone,

think they can get anything, everyone and everything.

Dynasty, I'm sorry. You're my best friend, but maybe you're jealous?

Of her?!

-I don't know.

-I don't think you do.

Some best mate you turned out to be.

I don't know why I bother with you.

Er, where are you going? You've got detention.

-I'm not staying in here with her.

-Excuse me? You will do

-what you're told.

-I don't need this. Connor moved to London today.

You seem to have forgotten.

And you? You're just taking it out on me.

That's not true.

It's Friday. The bell's gone and I'm going.

And as for tomorrow, make that a takeaway for one,

cos I won't be there.

Well, Maggie's got some vodka I can nick.

As if I'm going to the schoolhouse.

I'll just meet you there.

Cool. Where is it we're going again?

Morton's.

Mr Reid's going to Morton's? That place is a dive.

Well, I guess he likes it dirty.

I'll see you there in an hour.

Don't you want to walk home together?

Absolutely not.

Gabriella.

Are you OK?

Bit shaken up. How's Dynasty, is she all right?

Seriously, don't waste your time worrying about her.

So, what's the plan for tonight?

-See you at The Cabin bar in an hour?

-Deal.

# I'm gonna row down the river

# I'm gonna row

# I'm gonna go wherever

# I'm gonna go... #

Got my ball back, Miss.

Enjoy the weekend, Darren.

See you Monday.

# I'm gonna row down the river

# I'm gonna row... #

Are you sure you don't mind coming to this drinks thing with me?

I promised I'd be there.

No, whatever. I'm cool.

You heading down?

Yeah, on our way.

Actually, where are the toilets?

Oh, er, down the corridor, first left, first right.

I'll wait for you on the stairs. OK.

Didn't have you down as the...maternal type.

That makes two of us.

What about Vix?

Some of this stuff isn't bad.

-Really?

-Mmm.

-Thanks, George.

Now, be a love, would you, and take these through to the staff room?

They'll need another bottle of vino too.

What did your last slave die of?

Oi, watch it, you.

Listen, George, I'm sorry if I've been a bit full-on.

I'm just a bit out of practice, that's all.

Yeah, well, you and me both, and I apologise for the cold shoulder.

It was...ungallant.

Perhaps we should start over, a nightcap, once we're through here?

Perhaps.

Now, wine, nuggets, go.

-Oh, sorry!

-No, my mistake.

No, no, it was mine.

Um... roll on the weekend, I say.

Absolutely.

Listen, I've got one of those 2-4-1 vouchers for some pizza place

if you're free?

I'm not really a big pizza fan.

Well, I'm sure they do pasta and salad.

Yes, no, I expect they do, but I'm not really free.

Oh, right.

George...why are you carrying a plate of chicken nuggets?

For the drinks.

What drinks?

Simon's drinks. You know about them?

Yeah, of course I do.

Ah, ladies, can I get you a drink?

Red wine?

Yeah, nice try(!)

Ah, you must be Eve? I've heard all about you.

Sue, actually...

It's so lovely to meet you. You can call me Auntie Sue.

Er...OK.

Sue, I think we're nearly ready to start.

Lovely to meet you, Eve.

Who was that?

I could do with a drink.

Thanks for doing this, George, this is above and beyond.

-In for a penny.

-Absolutely. That's the spirit.

So can I put you down as a volunteer?

I'd rather be minced up, rolled in breadcrumbs

and served as one of these nuggets.

I tried to talk to you earlier.

You could have told me you were organising drinks.

You might have squeezed that in

amongst your Virginia Woolf quotes, no?

I didn't want to burden you, what with everything else going on.

There is nothing else going on. I'm fine.

-Christine, I'm on your side.

-Well, that's not what it looks like.

Er, sorry to keep you guys, I'll just get straight to the point.

The Resilience Camp is not just a great opportunity for the pupils.

It's vital for the survival of the Resilience Initiative.

Steve Jobs once said that "our time is limited,

"so don't waste it living someone else's life."

Now, for whatever reason, many of our students are choosing not to

live their own lives.

Many are scared.

Many are living vicariously

through their carefully-crafted online personas.

So we want to take these young people, our pupils...

..not just to some camp but towards a better way of life.

And we need you.

Hector, if you could do the honours.

Welcome to Waterloo Road's Resilience Education.

WHISTLE IS BLOWN

Go, go, go! Now, guys, remember, it's not just about the brawn,

it's about using your brains too, helping each other.

20 years from now, you will regret...

Babes, that jacket is so stunning.

Thanks. It's ancient.

You look amazing.

Oh, babes, that's so sweet.

Is that yours?

Shall we?

Where's Rhiannon?

She'll be here in a minute.

Let's get messy.

Are you looking for the ladies?

No, actually I was looking for you.

Oh.

ROCK MUSIC PLAYS

Gabs, it's Rhi-Rhi. Just checking where you are. I'm here.

Where are you?

Packet of crisps, please, and a Coke.

Full fat.

Well, I must say, I think it all looks rather exciting.

-Mmm! It's a bit like Survivor. Do you remember Survivor?

-Yeah.

If we can pull it off, I think it will be great for the kids.

-Mmm!

-Anyone fancy a curry after this?

Actually, I'm heading off in a minute. Sorry.

Christine, I'd love to have done that

but I've got to get back for Mitzi because she's got the vet tonight.

-And we're picking up a hoover.

-Not a problem. Just a suggestion.

Have a nice weekend, everyone.

Thank you, and you.

Er, has anyone seen Eve?

Sue? What is it?

SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

You look...very nice.

You really think so?

Very much.

Is this a good idea? I do teach your daughter.

Well, maybe you could teach me a few things?

I've been looking for you everywhere.

Why didn't you tell me about Vix?

I didn't want to...freak you out.

Mum, I've seen Modern Family.

I know all about the bees and the bees.

I didn't know if...you knew or not. Obviously you do, so...

-It just makes sense now. That's all.

-Are you angry with me?

No. I...

I just don't understand why you wouldn't tell me about her.

I was scared that I might push you away

when we're just getting to know each other.

But then what Simon was saying, you know, about our time being limited.

He's right.

I want you to be a part of my life...

..part of all of it...

..which means I need to be completely honest.

OK.

Vix, this is Eve. Eve, this is Vix...

..my fiancee.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Yeah.

Did you get everyone you needed?

Yeah, yeah. Fingers crossed.

We don't need to pick up that hoover tonight after all,

so we wondered if you were still up for that curry?

I appreciate what you're trying to do, but I don't need charity.

It's not charity, it's a curry.

I've got a lot of work to do,

so close the door on your way out, please.

Told you.

# I've been infected with restless whispers and cheats

# They're manifested in words and the lies that you speak

# I've been infected with restless whispers and cheats

# They're manifested in words and the lies that you speak... #

THEY SIGH

-I think I need a water.

-Water's for cheaters.

I'm going to call Rhiannon.

What?

I told her we were meeting at Morton's.

Gabi! Why did you do that?

Hey, look, there's Mr Reid. What a coincidence.

He is so fit.

-Did you know he was going to be here?

-Let's go and say hello.

No, that's really weird.

No, it's polite.

-Mr Reid, what a surprise.

-Hi, Sir.

What are you doing here?

Just grabbing a drink. Can I get you anything?

No, thanks.

Then we'll join you.

Gabriella, you're not 18 and this is not appropriate.

This yours?

I found it in school.

Oh, you found it? Really?

Come here.

I've tried my best to be polite to you, but this is harassment.

You're harassing me.

Sir, chill out. We're just having a drink.

No, we're really not.

You need to leave before I call your parents, which I will.

Why are you being like this?

Because you're a child and I'm a teacher.

Now, leave me alone.

-Where've you been?

-Misunderstanding, guys, come on.

-Let's get some drinks.

-I've got to play catch-up now.

This isn't a playground, girls.

Sorry, what was your name?

My name's Marie.

Mary, the concern is touching,

but we're all here on a night out and we have ID, all of us.

Look at him again and they'll be nothing left of yous to ID.

We should go. This is stupid, Gabriella.

Does anyone know how to play poker?

Carol? George? Hello?

-Simon?

-Look, I just want to thank them. Hello?

Look, they're not here. Can we just go, please?

She hasn't cleaned up.

Typical! I didn't pay her to do half a job.

We'll have to do it. Come on.

If you think I'm spending the rest of my Friday night cleaning

up the school canteen...

-It won't take long.

-No way.

We've still got time to pick up the hoover.

Let's go.

Simon, I'm being serious.

Have they gone?

I think so.

THEY GIGGLE

What are we like?

I don't know what we're like, but whatever it is, I like it.

-Hmm. You know what?

-What?

-You're not as bad as I first thought.

What do you mean by that?

Nothing.

Rhiannon, I think you should stop now.

I think we've had too much.

I'm not that bad.

Marie, can you get a move on?!

-Bottom's up, everyone.

-Cheers.

Let's see the cards, then.

Flush.

Royal Flush.

Cash in the pot, sexy.

Playing for money is so bourgeois.

What would you suggest?

What are you doing?

Strip poker it is.

Do you think I'm sexy?

Only, there's a man called Hector, and he doesn't.

Marie, join us.

We're having a laugh.

Yeah. Mary, sit down. You're boring everyone.

More shots!

Stop.

Marie...stop.

Dynasty, will you please tell me what's wrong?

Is this it?

So they didn't want you, more fool them.

Another uni will take you, a better one.

What, an idiot reject?

You're not an idiot.

Imogen thinks I am.

What did she say?

She didn't say anything.

I haven't told her. She hates me.

She doesn't hate you.

Look, see this, this means nothing. You're going to make it, babe.

You're beautiful, you're so clever

and, most importantly, you have got an amazing boyfriend.

-Do you really think I'll make it?

-Yeah. I really do.

I really do.

Does Dynasty know you're back?

You say nothing to Dynasty or anyone else, do you hear me?

Barry, get off me.

Dynasty as in...Dynasty?

Yeah, Barry is Dynasty's sister.

How do you even know that lot?

You lot should go, before it all kicks off.

Oh, but I haven't even had a chance to say thank you.

And how do you propose to do that?

Get the drinks in, girls.

Gabriella, don't you dare. I'm serious. Don't!

Come on. We're going.

You're not leaving already, are yous?

Three vodkas.

-Where's your boyfriend tonight?

-He'll be here in a minute, actually.

I think I'm going to be sick.

Rhiannon!

You're not going to be rude, are you?

You know what? I don't even want this.

You should have it.

Where are they?

I need to check on my friend.

Rhiannon? Rhiannon, where are you?

Rhiannon!

# Now everywhere I go

# I see you

'This is Connor. Sorry I can't take your call.

'Leave a message and I'll get back to you.'

PHONE RINGS

Imogen?

I must say, you were a dab hand with those nuggets.

I'm not just a pretty face.

I feel like a teenager again.

Me too.

How about we spend the weekend feeling like that?

I'm afraid my mother's coming up tomorrow.

The old dragon would eat you alive.

Just the night, then?

You don't even know me.

I want to know you.

Nobody else does.

It's OK.

-Please, Rhiannon, we need to go.

-Get off me.

We need to go.

Leave us alone.

You girls just don't know when to give up, eh?

What's the PIN, sweetheart?

Excuse me, I'm looking for someone. Her name's Imogen Stewart.

She was in here.

Excuse me? Have you seen her? Her name's Imogen.

She's about this high, dark hair.

-Don't know what you're talking about, sweetheart.

-She rang me.

-She said she was here and she was in trouble.

-About this high?

-Dark hair? Cute as a button?

-Yeah.

Nah, not in here. Not tonight.

That's hers.

Now where is she?

Always running away from Mummy, is she? The little minx.

Thanks(!)

Please!

No, please, I don't know it!

Imogen?

Imogen! What have you done? What have you done?

IMOGEN CRIES

Imogen?

Come here. Come on. Ssh-ssh-ssh! Ssh-ssh-ssh! It's OK, it's OK.

I've been so stupid.

Come on.

Into bed.

My mum would have killed me if I'd gone home like this.

Thank you.

I'll be speaking to you and Rhiannon, don't you worry.

Sorry...

for tonight and for walking out of detention.

I shouldn't have said...

I'm sorry.

There have been worse crimes committed, I'm sure.

Are you OK?

I mean, like properly?

You'll understand when you've got children of your own with Connor.

Night, Imogen.

# I know what you want to say

# I see the words

# Behind your eyes

# By the time you show me

# What you're hiding

# It won't be no surprise

# Why do you keep on whispering?

# Talking with your face turned away

# You say that love don't come easy for you

# What makes you think I ain't afraid?

# Speak your heart

# Speak your heart

# Speak your heart... #

Barry? What's he doing back?

-I want to come home.

-It's not me you need to speak to, it's my mum.

You could tell her I've changed.

You're not coming home, Barry.

Yeah, I am.

Mother?!

She's your new bit of stuff.

What should you do if you think that you've discovered something

but other people don't really believe you?

Well, if your gut instinct tells you there's something wrong,

chances are, there is.
