Episode 15 Waterloo Road

-Next week we're relying on you lot to step up with the Resilience Camp.

-Lord help us all.

-George's mother has only gone and outed him and Carol Barry!

-What?

Hope you're not going to be this boring on the Resilience Camp.

We're going to be on top of each other for a whole three days.

He doesn't fancy you so get a life.

This is harassment. You're harassing me.

Why are you being like this?

It'd better go to plan, Simon. Do you understand me?

I won't take my eyes off the pupils for a second.

You're a violent, spiteful woman.

Mother, wait. I shouldn't have said...

-She's dead. She died.

-That's awful.

Hey! Yes!

-What do you think?

-She is perfect.

You're not taking this, are you?

Yeah, too right.

It's for around the camp fire later on. Show off my soft, mellow side.

To who? The kids?

-Not the kids, you idiot.

-Then who?

Three days. No way you can get out of it?

I'll make it up to you, I promise.

See you later, campers! Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

ATCHOO!

-You shouldn't be here.

-I'll be fine. It's just a cold.

I've got to do these hand over notes for my cover.

I am sending you home.

But what about the school camp? Mr Lowsley needs me.

Well, Mr Lowsley will just have to get someone else.

Oh, I'm ever so sorry.

-Don't worry. I'm sure someone will jump at the chance.

-Yeah.

Any takers?

I'll get someone even if we have to drag them in off the street.

Good. Cos I've got a special mission of my own for this trip.

-Are you talking about Nikki?

-What if I am?

Firstly, she's immune to your charms. And something else.

Oh, yeah, she's a lesbian.

She's engaged to my sister-in-law.

Hector. I am a genius.

I bet they all sleep with their mouths open.

Snoring and choking on flies.

So ditch the camping adventure.

I'll give you all the adventure you need.

I would but...

..I just love the smell of tarpaulin. Ciao.

Morning, guys.

After the past few weeks, I thought

you two might be interested in the emergency services.

Let me have a look.

The police?

I've applied for drama courses in London.

Dynasty?

Maybe.

-You? In the police?

-Why not?

Oh, cos my dad's in the nick and my brother's a thug?

-Well, if the cap fits...

-Yes, thank you, Gabriella.

You, Miss Barry, can be anything you want to be.

And what's his form group? All right, well, what year's he in?

OK. Well, just give me his date of birth.

See if she can remember that.

Carol Barry? Really?

Well, the agency didn't have anyone left.

Seeing as all the kids are at school camp,

the canteen's going to be dead so I thought outside that box.

What?

Don't you like her?

She's cheap.

Yeah, it's fine, it's fine.

You've got to admit, Christine, she's great on the phone.

Thanks for letting us know, Mrs Peters.

I'll be sure to make the changes to the file straightaway. Bye.

Stupid mare. She's only just moved her boyfriend in

and she wants to change her kid's name to his.

I ask you.

Right, where will I find his file?

No, no. Leave a note on the desk.

Sonya will deal with it when she gets back.

I can do much more.

Just confine yourself to answering the phone and taking messages.

-Are you saying I'm not capable?

-I love them earrings, Carol.

Thanks. They were George's mother's.

They've been in the family for years.

That's really sweet.

-How is George?

-Gutted. It's all stiff upper lip with him.

I said to him on the drive in this morning,

"You're keeping it all inside."

He's here? He's supposed to be on compassionate leave.

Don't worry, he's getting all the compassion he needs right now.

From me.

You're off your head if you think you stand a chance with Mr Reid.

And I wonder where you got that from?

It's a pity it's all in your sick little head.

Cos then our Barry would be shot of you.

I've got your Barry exactly where I want him.

-Then he's a moron.

-Family trait is it?

You're pathetic.

BELL RINGS

OK, everyone who's going on the Resilience Camp, I'll see you

in the main hall in ten minutes

and the rest of you, I'll see you next week.

I need your help with something.

Why'd you have to go and tell her that?

She's going to get us back now.

Imogen! I have got something to show you two. Come on.

Come on.

Right, guys, listen up. This is not just a trip.

It's a chance to test yourself in a new and challenging environment.

Potentially a life-changing experience. But first...

..we're doing a bag check. Open up.

GROANING

What?

This isn't fair, sir. There's nothing in there.

Invasion of our privacy, that, sir.

Okey-doke, shall we have a look in here?

Mr Lowsley's just checked my bag, sir. It's all clear.

I'm going to do you again.

Oh, what do we know?

How did that even get in there?

Beats me.

Nice try, boys.

Right, everyone, this is Miss Spark who's very kindly agreed to

join us on our trip so let's give her a nice welcome.

WOLF WHISTLES

Oh, yes, sir, she is well fit.

Yeah, all right, Darren.

-Kevin, where's Dynasty?

-Erm?

MUSIC: "Taste It" by Jake Bugg

# Fill my head with the future

# Fill my eyes with the sky

# Whole of my life I've been left behind

# But I've never felt more alive

# High-speed conversations

# Speeding on down the line

# Looked in your eyes Said the saddest goodbyes

# But I've never felt more alive. #

You sure asking her is a good idea?

She might not have had disclosure checks.

-She has, as it goes.

-Really?

-She's going to be taking a jewellery

class as part of my Resilience Entrepreneur module.

-You should be thanking me.

-For what exactly?

Stopping you making a total prat of yourself.

Gee, thanks, Simon(!)

Come on, you lot, hurry up.

-Sorry.

-See your bags.

What? This is so unfair!

Everyone else has had them searched.

There's nothing in my bag. Look.

OK, good. Get on the bus.

Mr Reid, can I have a word?

INAUDIBLE

Dynasty Barry, come back here.

Nice try, Dynasty.

Haven't Rhiannon and Imogen been in enough trouble recently

because of alcohol without you encouraging them?

Aw, don't blame them. It was all my doing. I'm sorry.

Well, so am I. I've been hearing such good things from Mr Lowsley.

Now you pull a stunt like this. Wait outside.

-Miss, don't stop us from going to camp.

-Out.

SHE SIGHS

That is totally ingenious.

You better hope no-one else has got any stashed somewhere strange.

What a horrible thought!

Seriously, you will you make sure that nothing else goes wrong?

Nothing will. Simon's got it planned down to the very last second.

I know. He's worked really hard but I'm under the cosh from the council.

-Just keep me informed, please.

-OK.

Right, well, you better put Dynasty out of her misery. Have fun.

Mother, it seems, has transferred all her monies

to an offshore account.

-Really?

-Which means there are various legal holes for me

to jump through before I can access it.

Well, do you know how much...longer it's going to be?

Cos I know this is really painful for you.

Your daughter tried to smuggle this onto the camp.

The little... I knew I didn't finish that.

Listen, George, don't worry about a thing, OK?

We'll get this sorted, I promise you.

I thought you were going home.

I had to go over a couple of things with Carol.

Oh, I confiscated this from Dynasty Barry.

I could take that if you like?

Thank you, Sonya. I can be trusted with a bag of cheap wine.

Oh, I didn't mean anything by it.

For heaven's sake.

Go home, Sonya.

Oh, yeah.

Teacher coming through.

Hello. I thought you were Carry On Camping.

Yeah, but I've got this rotten cold, haven't I?

-Carol's covering for me.

-Carol Carol?

Yes. I don't think Mrs Mulgrew's too happy about it.

-I think it's to do with her and Mr Windsor.

-Really?

Yes, they was all over each other in the office earlier.

Mrs Mulgrew's mouth did that twitchy thing it does.

You get off home, pet. Put your feet up.

Yeah, I will. See you later.

Come on, everyone, gather round.

This is glorious.

SQUELCH!

LAUGHTER

Oh, great.

You know, I'm pretty experienced,

what with my Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award, if you need to use me at all.

I do. Help give these out.

These are your survival packs.

Inside you will find a map, a compass and a set of coordinates.

Now, the first group back will get their own luxury tent,

complete with its very own bush shower.

Bagsie it!

One last thing -

on the back of the map you will find an emergency number that will

get you straight through to me.

OK, Miss Boston and I will go set up the base camp.

Can I come too?

No. Sorry. You're needed here.

Hold on. Can't you stay here and I'll go ahead with N...Miss Boston?

Oh, please. I'm responsible for some pretty serious equipment that you

wouldn't know how to handle.

Right, sorry. Good luck, everyone.

Yeah, good luck everyone.

OK. The advantages of speaking French.

Les advantages de parler Francais.

Mademoiselle Brown?

Me? Sir, I can't think.

Tell me something I don't know. Anyone?

Why are we even doing this?

Because, Monsieur Brown, it helps us

appreciate the value of learning a second language.

What sorts of things could we do

if we were fluent in French, for example?

No, OK, well, how about careers?

We could join the diplomatic service or become

an interpreter at the United Nations.

Or be a holiday rep.

I suppose.

Nice.

Bonjour, madame. Repete, "Bonjour, madame."

ALL: Bonjour, madame.

Just pretend I'm not here.

Right, where were we? Um...

Right, lets put the resilience skills we've learnt into action.

-Who's with us?

-Whoo!

Yeah, thought so. Mrs Lowsley, Miss Spark?

Let's get that luxury tent.

I don't think so! That's ours.

Come on. Yeah!

Resilience Camp!

CHEERING AND SHOUTING

Simon, you really should put this on.

You know what you're like with the midges.

I'm not poncing around in that thing.

Don't come crying to me when your face is like a dot-to-dot book.

Gabriella!

What? She knows this stuff. I'm out of here.

Gabriella, wait up.

CHEERING AND SHOUTING

Resilience! Come on! Yeah!

They're definitely going the wrong way. Come on.

-Are you sure you know where you're going?

-Yeah.

Gabriella, wait up.

Everything all right?

I just wanted to check on you.

You're back sooner than I expected.

Well, as you can see, I'm still standing.

Well, if there's anything I can help with.

If you need more time off.

No, I'd rather be here but thank you.

So did everything go all right with the funeral?

Yes.

If you'd told me the arrangements, I would've come.

-It was just family.

-You took Carol.

I did indeed. Yes.

Well, I'm glad you're bearing up.

Sir, I'm finished.

-Gabriella, wait.

-No.

Gabriella! Gabriella! I don't know where I'm going.

Oh!

-Will you stand still!

-My legs are jelly.

Stop it! You're an idiot.

Behave. I've got to finish this shower handle.

So, you and Vix. What's it like?

Hector.

I meant what's it like to be coupled up?

You've been in a relationship, haven't you?

Of course I have. Loads.

Oh, why am I not surprised? Here, done.

Seriously though, how can you think about just being with one person?

Especially when, you know, you...bat for both teams?

What? I've met your kid, remember?

You telling me that was the immaculate conception?

No.

Yeah, I used to love Eve's father Stuart but, well, now, I love Vix.

When you meet the right one, you just you know, don't you?

-You don't really have to think about it.

-Don't you?

No.

One minute you meet this amazing person

and then, before you know it, it's...

Yeah, commitments, planning a future, growing old together,

that sort of thing?

-Too heavy-duty for you?

-A bit.

Oh!

PHONE RINGS

-Yes?

-Mr Reid. It's me. Rhiannon. I'm lost.

Rhiannon. Calm down. Have you looked at your map?

-It's no use.

-Yes, it is. You need to look around until you see

'something that you recognise then use your compass.

'It always points North, remember.'

It's OK, I can see Darren and that lot. Bye.

Rhiannon.

-She all right?

-She will be.

Right.

Do you think that's too high?

No, I think that's... Argh!

What was that for?

-To cool you down.

-Yeah, right.

You just wanted to see me with my kit off, didn't you?

Happy now?

Mr Reid...

-..you're so sexy.

-Really?

No!

SHE LAUGHS

PHONE RINGS

-Yes?

-Oh, hello, Hector. Hi. It's Sue. Hi. We're lost.

-We are NOT lost.

-Yes, we are.

Blooming midges!

Aw, Twinkle you have sweet blood.

We've been wandering around for ages now

and we just seem to be back where we started from.

So technically you're not lost. You know exactly where you are.

-Can't we have a little clue?

-'Sorry, no clues.'

The whole point is to make you more resilient. See you later.

I was just saying to Maggie, Edinburgh uni's been on the phone.

Kevin's bursary interview's been brought forward.

-I'm dead proud of him.

-Can you believe our Dynasty's bagged

herself the next Stephen Hawkins? Without the wheelchair that is.

-Make sure he gets the message, Maggie.

-Do you know,

I never realised just how sexy brains were until I met George?

Can you get on with your work and let Mrs Budgen get on with hers...

please?

It must be around here somewhere.

Oh, come on, guys. Help me find the last coordinates.

In a minute.

I found it!

And the final checkpoint is... base camp!

-What are yous doing?

-What does it look like? Having a rest.

Come on. Push on.

Think about the luxury tent!

Do you know what? I'm not too bothered about the tent actually.

I mean, it's not like we're going to get to share it, is it?

It's not about the tent.

It's about getting there first and being the best you can be.

Proving to yourselves you can do it cos we can.

Now come on. Follow me. I'll get you there in no time.

Come on.

BELL RINGS

Er, George, are you heading for lunch? I'll join you.

I'm heading out.

Oh. Is everything OK?

Yes. Fine.

You know if you need someone to listen...

I don't.

This is me you're talking to, George.

You don't need the stiff upper lip, OK? Not around me.

I've got things to do. I'd better go.

You need to grieve, George.

I need to keep my mind off it.

Why don't you get that?

Oops(!)

Thought I'd get these going. The smell might draw them in.

Surely you have another top you can put on.

I'm not cold.

Or shy.

Or maybe I didn't want to deprive you of the sight.

Or modest either.

PHONE RINGS

Is that one of the pupils?

They must've hung up.

Hi, it's Gabriella. I'm in the middle of a lake, in a boat.

I'm quite far out and I don't know how to get back.

Could you come and help me, please?

What are you doing?

I'm finding you something to wear before the others come...back.

This is the one you took off Harley Taylor, isn't it?

In case of emergencies.

I thought we'd be grateful of it later.

Unless you want some now? Heat us up.

I thought you weren't cold.

I am now. I'm getting frostbite off of your dirty look.

So do you fancy a quick one?

What?

A drink. What did you think I meant?

What are you playing at?

Didn't notice you objecting.

-DYNASTY:

-Oh, yeah, come on! Come on! We made it. We made it back.

-Welcome back, everyone. How was it?

-I'm starving.

Are we the first ones back?

Yes, you are. Well done.

The sausages are on the go.

Yeah, and the luxury tents are at the top.

-Miss Boston! Over here.

-Hey!

So, did you miss me?

Yeah, course. Mr Lowsley. Good time. Not good enough.

-Sorry.

-Made it back before you, sir.

That's excellent. Well done.

It's amazing what you can do with a good team around you.

Though actually it was all Dynasty. She did an unbelievable job.

And she kept us going. Wouldn't let us slack.

It's amazing what you can do with a good team leader.

Hi. It's me. Again. Can you come and get me, please?

I'm getting quite cold and scared. Thank you.

PHONE RINGS

Mr Reid?

Barry.

Barry, I can't talk right now.

Because I said I can't talk!

# Today was gonna be the day

# That they're gonna throw it back to you... #

My brother in law and midges.

# ..realised what you gotta do.. #

-Chocolate muffins?

-Thank you.

PHONE BEEPS

Work e-mail.

This is my mum's favourite.

This song is well ancient. Don't they know any Rihanna?

# The fire in your heart is out

# I'm sure you heard it all before

# But you never really had a doubt... #

-There's a problem at the studio. I've got to go back tonight.

-What?

Right now. I'm sorry, there's absolutely nothing I can do.

Want a shot, mate?

-I'm really sorry about this.

-What's wrong?

There's a problem with my collection.

I'm needed at the studio.

SUE: But, Vix, you can't leave us in the lurch.

The New York show's been brought forward. Look, I feel terrible.

Don't. Work has got to come first.

Hang on, we'll be an adult down. What are we going to do?

We'll manage. There's no more unsupervised excursions now.

-It's all camp-based.

-Maybe we should go back to the school.

No, no, no, no. Not after all the hard work we put in.

The kids too. We can't let them down. Come on, let's eat.

Let's get back to it, shall we, guys? How are those sausages?

Do you think you could do that in your own time?

Just browsing. Anyway I'm on my lunch.

If George ever gets back with that sushi.

You know, Carol, George and I go back a long way.

Yeah. He's told me all about that.

He's a very clever man. But he can be a fool when it comes to women.

And who are you? His mother?

No. She died. I thought you'd remember

-since you've been dipping into the family jewels.

-Excuse me?

-I just don't want to see him get hurt.

-Or happy?

Sorry?

That's what's bugging you, isn't it?

You thought, if all else failed, you and him could be two bitter,

disappointed old teachers together.

But he got out. He got a life.

PHONE RINGS

-Are you going to answer that?

-No, I'm not. Answer it yourself.

Like I said, I'm on my lunch.

Where's the luxury tent?

Oh, what?

What? We didn't get the luxury tent?

Yes, everybody, I think we should have a group photo.

-Mrs Lowsley, could you man the camera?

-Yeah.

Come on, everyone, gather round.

All right, little ones to the front, big'uns to the back.

-Yeah, everyone, gather round.

-Quick, guys.

And where's our Resilience Camp Queen?

Everybody squeeze in. Come on, guys at the back, quick, quick.

You're going to miss your opportunity.

All right. Big smiles. Three, two, one...

Lovely. OK, this time I want you to shout out, "Resilience Camp!"

-ALL:

-Resilience Camp!

Lovely. OK, now, this one, I want you to jump in the air.

THEY CHEER

And this time I want you to do your biggest, baddest monster faces!

Guys. Guys, where's Gabriella?

Right, has anyone seen her?

She's very capable. She'll be fine.

-What if she's had an accident or something?

-Yeah, yeah, phone her.

It's going straight to voice mail.

Right, has anyone seen her at all?

-VOICE MAIL:

-'Hi, it's Gabriella. I'm in the middle of a lake, in a boat.

'I'm quite far out and don't know how to get back.

'Could you come and help me, please?'

-She called you?

-Er, no.

Hector, you know about earlier...

Not now.

Simon's arranging a search party, right? Tell him I'll try the lake.

GIRL: Will she be all right?

Gabriella!

Gabriella!

Gabriella!

Gabriella(!)

-Gabriella!

-Gabriella!

-Gabriella!

-Mr Reid! Please come and help me! Please come! Please!

Sit down. I'm coming.

Hector, be careful.

-Please!

-She's stranded. Call Simon.

Tell him we found her.

Why's she in a boat?

Simon, it's Nikki. Yeah. Yeah, we've got her.

She's in a boat.

SHE BABBLES

No, Gabriella, it's fine, it's fine.

Please, Gabriella, sit down.

OK. It's OK. You're OK. Just sit down. No! Please.

Get down, Gabriella!

SHE SHRIEKS

You're all right. It's OK. It's OK.

Have you got a minute?

Carol wasn't at the desk so I just came straight through.

My curriculum development plan.

Oh, yeah, thanks, I'll take a look at that.

So George and Carol? Odd couple, eh?

I've not really thought about it.

Well, good luck to Carol, that's all I say.

I mean, don't get me wrong,

George is very smooth but he's high maintenance, isn't he?

I mean, you'd have thought she'd want someone a bit more

reliable, someone to support her and look after her.

I'm not being funny but that's not George, is it?

No. I guess not. Thanks, Maggie.

Are you two OK, yeah?

Gabriella, what were you doing out there? You've had us worried sick.

Why didn't you phone Mr Reid for help?

I lost my phone.

Let's get you back to the camp, get you dried off, yeah?

Yes, sir!

PHONE RINGS

Hello, Waterloo Road. Nikki, is everything all right?

-I think we should get you to a hospital.

-I'm fine, really.

Yeah, I'd still like to get you checked out.

-I wasn't even in the water that long.

-Better safe than sorry.

Sir, why do we have to go home when it was all her fault?

Sorry, guys, it's not my decision.

She wasn't even in trouble. She just likes drama.

-Yeah, with herself at the centre.

-Look, just get on with it, OK?

Thanks for going over my head.

I phoned when the crisis was over.

I didn't know she'd pull the plug, did I? I had to tell her.

Yes, but I should've been the one to have done that.

I promised. I promised I'd phone her if anything went wrong.

Yeah, and you did. Well done. Clever girl.

We're one adult down with Vix gone.

What if something really serious had happened? We're not insured.

We'd have been screwed. All of us.

Yeah, but you should've asked me first.

Listen, Si, I know you're upset but it's not Nikki's fault, all right.

-What do you mean?

-I...

I'll go pack up the shower.

Auf wiedersehen, Jungen und Madchen.

-Why do I bother?

-Go, go, go.

-Where did you disappear to then?

-Just popped out for a bit.

Had to get away from Little Miss Sunshine.

Mulgrew. She had a proper go at me earlier.

-Why would she do that?

-I think it was the earrings.

-No, still not with you.

-They came up in conversation and, you know,

I said they were your mother's.

-And then all of a sudden she's calling me a gold-digger.

-What?

I mean, it's like she can't stand the thought of us being together.

-Is she jealous?

-Well.

-Maybe it's just an angry streak.

What, she actually used the word gold-digger?

I mean, as if I'm interested in your money.

We've had a connection from the word go, haven't we? Even before...

you know.

What are you...?

Oh, you don't need to... No, really.

Honestly, it's you I care about.

So you'll have a word with her?

Listen, I'm sorry, everyone, for how it's turned out.

It's all right, sir, it's not your fault.

Go with Mrs Lowsley to the medical room to get checked out.

Everyone else, go straight to the assembly hall

while we contact your parents.

Wait here. I'll fetch the key.

We have a little secret, don't we, Mr Reid?

I must have left six, seven messages, asking...

Look, Gabriella, I'm really sorry.

The number you gave us. It was switched off.

Stop this. Please.

Oh, I won't get you into any trouble. I won't tell a soul.

-I appreciate that.

-If you take me out tonight.

You know I can't do that.

Oh, you can. Just think.

It'll be another little secret.

Meet me the gym in half an hour.

Right, Gabriella, in you come.

If you're looking for Carol she's gone AWOL.

-I hear the two of you had a little tete-a-tete.

-Ah.

Interfere with all your staff's private lives, do you?

You're not just staff.

You're my friend.

I won't let her take you for a mug.

Good grief. She's right.

You are jealous.

I'm just looking out for you.

-By accusing her of being a gold-digger?

-She said that?

We're a lot closer than you think.

Then I feel sorry for you.

No. You feel sorry for yourself.

Pining for something you didn't want until someone else had it. Mm?

George!

Is this a good time?

Couldn't be better.

That's a nice little plan you had going there.

Damsel in distress, getting rescued by the Action Man hero.

Pity it all backfired.

Oh, I got what I wanted.

What? Drama? Attention?

You don't have much imagination, do you?

I don't know what you're trying to achieve.

But you can't walk on people and get away with it, you know.

People like you don't really count.

TOILET FLUSHES

Are you going to be coming in with me?

I'm imagining that you think you stand a chance with Mr Reid.

Like he'd ever touch you!

Well, he's already set a date, so...

What were you doing in a lake, in a boat, where no-one was,

you stupid div?

Oh, you did it on purpose.

Well done, Miss Marple.

Momentary flash of imagination - so out of character.

It'll be such a shame when you don't get into the police.

I'm thinking too much of a stretch for someone so limited.

It might be less painful if you just cut to the chase.

You could come and be a cleaner for us.

We've got a nice big house so you'll have plenty to do.

We both know it's where you're going to end up.

Oh, and they can think what they want,

but, as no-one else was there, my story stands.

Ciao.

The bottom line is it was just one pupil...

Who, unsupervised, got lost and nearly drowned.

We know it looks bad.

And you were an adult down. What happened there?

Sue's sister got called away on business.

And you didn't think to tell me? I'm sorry.

This is the final straw. Resilience Education is over.

You can't do that!

I know you've put a lot into it, but it isn't working.

It's expensive, it's more work for the staff,

and the pupils don't seem to be reaping many benefits from it.

Christine, some of the kids are really thriving on it!

Yeah, Dynasty Barry. She was outstanding today.

She showed initiative, leadership, she's thinking outside the box.

I am going to ban people from saying that.

Christine, the point is, Resilience Education has been great for her.

Have you forgotten what family she comes from?

No, I haven't.

Nor have I forgotten the family Gabriella Wark is from.

Or the pressure I'm under from the LA.

My mind is made up.

Look, she nearly drowned.

She's a scheming little cow.

Why are we even waiting, anyway?

They're phoning our parents to make sure someone's home.

Er - it doesn't matter to me. I live in the school house. Duh.

Actually, do you know what, I've got an idea.

I'm just going to run it by Mrs B.

Gabriella didn't think about us at all.

It's all right for her.

She can jet off on holiday whenever she likes.

Forget about the rest of us.

Right, guys, listen up.

We've just spoken to Mrs Mulgrew,

and I'm sorry to tell you that the camp's been cancelled

for the foreseeable future.

What? That's not fair, Gabi's all right now.

All right.

Resilience Education is also cancelled.

We'll be back to the old timetable next week.

Listen, guys.

You've all done so well, you know,

and you should be proud of yourselves.

I'm proud of you.

I'm sorry it hasn't worked out.

He was gutted.

This is all Gabriella's fault.

Out of order.

Yeah, well, she needs to apologise.

THEY MUTTER AGREEMENT

All the organising. All the work for what...

How did it go with Christine?

Let's see. She cancelled the camp. Ditched Resilience Education,

and wiped the floor with the pair of us.

We just need to re-group, come up with some fresh ideas

-and present it to Christine.

-I don't see the point.

Come on, Si. I thought you believed in this.

(Speak to him.)

(Me?)

Nikki's right. You can't give up after all your hard work.

What happened today really wasn't your fault.

Look, guys, I know you mean well, but you're flogging a dead horse.

I appreciate all your hard work, but it's over.

I have to go. Sorry.

KNOCK

Yeah, come in.

Can't this wait till tomorrow?

No. It can't.

All right, pet?

Yeah. Everyone's getting fed-up of waiting.

Some of them want to come back to the school house.

That might not be such a bad idea.

What are we going to do without you?

Right, let's get these calls finished

and then any stragglers, we'll have them back for a sleepover.

And, er, by the way, we've had Edinburgh on the blower

and they want to bring your bursary interview forward.

-What?

-Don't look so worried, you'll do great.

Mr Lowsley can help you swot up.

Yeah, yeah, all right, thanks. Thanks, Miss.

This is major. Thanks.

It was my vision.

I put my heart and soul into that programme.

It's just a setback. You'll feel differently tomorrow.

Hey.

Christine.

Hector has persuaded me

to think again about cancelling the Resilience Education programme.

It has to be scaled down and it has to take place on school premises.

We can do that, can't we, Simon?

I'm not finished yet, Nikki.

Mr Reid, however, is on an official warning.

In fact, he's lucky he's not suspended.

For what?

Well, let me see. Gross negligence.

Unprofessional conduct

and totally irresponsible behaviour.

I'll let him tell you what he just told me.

When Gabriella Wark got into difficulties,

she phoned me several times.

But your phone never rang.

I switched it off.

By accident, yeah?

-No.

-Why?

I didn't want to be disturbed.

Have you got any idea how much damage you've caused?

I have, yes.

The people you've let down!

Yeah. I know I've let you down.

No, not me, or your colleagues.

What about the pupils?

You're an idiot. I can't believe you'd pull a stunt like this.

Finally. I knew you couldn't keep away.

Let me past.

Let me past.

You know Mr Reid's going to be here any minute.

That's all right cos we've got someone looking out.

Nikki, wait, please. Look, I don't want you to hate me.

Why did you lie to me?

If you must know, I lied because of you.

I turned off my phone so no-one would disturb us.

We were just, you know, getting on so great.

Bouncing off each other.

Right.

That kiss was a mistake.

So...can we forget about it?

-But I thought you...

-I said, forget it.

For what it's worth, I just want to say...I'm sorry.

I let everyone down today. Especially you.

SCREAMING

What was that?

Reid and Boston are coming.

-What is going on?

-What's going on?

Oi!

GABI CRIES

Hey, Gabi, you sit up. Sit up for me.

Here you go.

Hey, Mrs Budgen's looking for you lot.

Slow down. Right, Dynasty?

Hey, Dynasty!

Care to explain what's going on?

It's Dynasty Barry.

She's blaming me because that stupid camp got cancelled.

If it's anyone's fault, it's mine.

You called for help and I didn't answer my phone. I'm sorry.

I accept full responsibility and Mrs Mulgrew's been informed.

I'll try and sort you some dry clothes from lost property.

Yeah. Here, do you want to give your hair a dry?

She all right?

Yeah, no thanks to you.

You know, I don't know what to make of you, Dynasty.

One minute you're a star pupil. The next, you're smuggling in alcohol.

And then in the woods, you were outstanding.

The way you took control, the way people looked up to you.

I'll be speaking to the other ringleaders first thing tomorrow.

Sir, it was all my doing. It was my idea.

And where you lead others follow, right?

I'm sorry.

Yeah, so am I.

I'm sorry that a girl I believed in would instigate a witch-hunt,

whip up a lynch mob.

Is that how you want to use your leadership skills?

You know, you could have a good career ahead of you.

But you need to decide fast.

Are you the girl in the woods or that girl in the gym?

George. George, can we clear the air?

I don't know. Can we?

I was out of line earlier. I'm... I am sorry.

Fine. Apology accepted.

It's just...

Well, if I'm honest, I've been finding it really hard

since Connor left. There's... too much time to brood.

Christine, my mother's just died.

So can we do a deal?

You don't tell me your sad stories, I won't tell you mine.

We done here?

You sent a lynch mob after Gabriella?

I thought she deserved it.

What, she deserved to be waterboarded?

Things got out of hand.

Look, you do realise how lucky you are that she didn't press charges?

This could have affected your future.

You never would have gotten a job with the police with a record.

You need to rise above it. Shake hands and move on.

Do you really think I could get in?

All I'm good for is being a criminal like my dad.

Oh, shut up.

You can do anything you want.

You make it sound dead easy.

It is. The only thing you have to rise above is yourself.

You all right?

I'm sorry. I took it too far.

I should've told Darren to stop it.

Can we move on?

Please?

I'll see you later.

Hey, Gabs? Come on. Your carriage awaits, m'lady.

So I was thinking we could go to the pictures

and see something you'd like.

Babes? What's wrong? Has something happened?

Come on. Come on.

Gabs, come here.

Do you think that'll solve anything?

Probably not.

I just wanted to say that I appreciate you coming clean to Christine.

You didn't have to do that.

Didn't I?

And what you did for Gabriella in the water today.

You know, I don't know anybody else who could've done that.

You made a mistake, but you are one of the good guys.

Don't be nice to me, all right?

Why not?

Because it was easier when you were wiping the floor with me.

Si's right. I'm a total idiot.

By the way, apology accepted.

Earlier.

The last thing you need is to get caught drinking that here.

Where should I be drinking, then?

Back at mine?

Look who's here.

Hiya, you all right?

Did you come this morning?

Couldn't let you face that panel on your own, could I?

It's a conditional offer from Strathclyde University.

I've got an interview for the police.

I might not be able to come to Edinburgh.

It's true - they spent the night together.

-It was a mistake.

-It?!

Getting deported. Me and my mum, we have to leave the country.
