0:00:02 > 0:00:04CAMERA CLICKS What you doing?

0:00:04 > 0:00:06It's demeaning, you cannot do this. It's degrading.

0:00:06 > 0:00:08These images are poison.

0:00:08 > 0:00:11GIRLS: OUT, OUT, OUT!

0:00:11 > 0:00:15Early signs are positive. He should make a full recovery.

0:00:15 > 0:00:18Look, I told you, no violence. Put that down!

0:00:18 > 0:00:20SHE SCREAMS Simon, do something!

0:00:20 > 0:00:23Maggie, I'm afraid I'm going to have to suspend you as of now.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25I want to see you first thing on Monday morning

0:00:25 > 0:00:26and we can review the situation.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28Nothing wrong, I hope?

0:00:28 > 0:00:30Nothing to worry about.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32'Large vodka, no ice.'

0:00:51 > 0:00:54PHONE RINGS

0:01:20 > 0:01:21You need to get up.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25Wake up.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43Can I have a quick word?

0:01:43 > 0:01:47I'm so sorry to bother you, but Mrs Mulgrew hasn't turned up.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49She's not answering her mobile neither

0:01:49 > 0:01:51and I've got a social worker waiting for her.

0:01:51 > 0:01:52That's unlike her.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55I hope she hasn't forgotten that we've got a meeting with

0:01:55 > 0:01:57- the Education Board. - I'll take the briefing,

0:01:57 > 0:02:00- you better deal with the social worker.- Why me?

0:02:00 > 0:02:03Because you're a people person and I'm not.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06Sorry for the delay in starting, everyone.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09It was my fault, I had forgotten that Mrs Mulgrew said that she

0:02:09 > 0:02:10wasn't coming in this morning.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12She's not unwell, is she?

0:02:12 > 0:02:16No, she's fine. Just otherwise engaged.

0:02:16 > 0:02:17What about my meeting with her?

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Will I be able to start teaching again or not?

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Er...yeah. Knock yourself out.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25If you could keep the pupils off the roof this time, maybe.

0:02:25 > 0:02:26No more riots, please.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Apart from that, it's business as usual.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Other than a visit from the Board of Education.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34They're coming in to discuss

0:02:34 > 0:02:37the possibility of Resilience Education being rolled out across

0:02:37 > 0:02:41the authority, which would obviously be an enormous coup for us.

0:02:50 > 0:02:51Keys... Keys...

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Stop. Just stop.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12Why don't we make a rule. Always to the left?

0:03:12 > 0:03:16Or we could go continental, and always to the right.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Do what you want.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21How long are you going to keep this up?

0:03:21 > 0:03:25I know that this is a game to you, but I have screwed up,

0:03:25 > 0:03:28and seeing your grinning face every day isn't helping.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31- I'm not going anywhere. - Don't I know it?

0:03:34 > 0:03:36I'll just stand still.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Look, don't beat yourself up.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42I'm not sure I would have put up much of a fight either,

0:03:42 > 0:03:43him knocking on my door.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Yeah, but I should have.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48Biggest mistake of my life. Well, one of them.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Come on, put your back into it.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Need to leave on time today. Plane lands at three.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03I can't wait to have our Kacey home. The family back together.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06It's not the whole family, though, is it, eh?

0:04:06 > 0:04:07What a mess to come back to, eh?

0:04:07 > 0:04:10We've got to concentrate on Kacey. Keep her focused on her career.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Kacey's tough, Mum. She'll understand.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15We just need to be honest with her tonight.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17There's a time and a place for honesty,

0:04:17 > 0:04:19and it is not the minute she walks through that door.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21You think we can keep this a secret?

0:04:21 > 0:04:24Let's just let her get settled in before we tell her about Barry.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26What about Barry?

0:04:26 > 0:04:29I got on an earlier flight. Thought I'd surprise you.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Babe!

0:04:32 > 0:04:34- Oh, I've missed you so much. - You OK? I've missed you too.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44PHONE RINGS

0:05:48 > 0:05:50I knew you'd be devastated, love.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52That's why I didn't tell you over the phone.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57I know he's family and we're supposed to stick together,

0:05:57 > 0:06:00but there's just some things you can't ignore, Kace.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02We're not talking about a bit of knock-off here.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04He was people trafficking.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06Young girls.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09He's on remand, no bail.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Please say something. I don't want you to hate me, Kace.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20Of course I don't hate you. And you shouldn't hate yourself either.

0:06:20 > 0:06:21You did the right thing.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24We thought you'd be more upset.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Yeah, well, Coach Matthews says you should only

0:06:27 > 0:06:28worry about the things you can control.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31Everything else is just a distraction.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36Has Coach Matthews got any tips on nausea,

0:06:36 > 0:06:38cos Mum's got something else to tell you.

0:06:40 > 0:06:41She's got a boyfriend.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44Well, that's great, isn't it?

0:06:44 > 0:06:47Yeah, well, glad you think so, love. Right let's get cracking.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49His name's George.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51Classy. Like the royal baby?

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Exactly like the royal baby.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55They're name's Windsor too, isn't it, Mum?

0:06:58 > 0:07:00You have got to be kidding me.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04Morning, Mr Windsor.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Charming(!)

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Sorry. Miles away.

0:07:09 > 0:07:10Somewhere nice I hope?

0:07:10 > 0:07:15Rome, Carthage, Knossos and Athens, actually.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17- In that order.- What?

0:07:17 > 0:07:21Mother, it seems, was planning a tour of the Ancient Mediterranean.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23I just got a call from the travel agent

0:07:23 > 0:07:25confirming two first class tickets.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29Well, no-one could accuse the old girl of not knowing how to live, could they?

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Two tickets. You reckon she had a fella on the go?

0:07:32 > 0:07:34The thought had occurred to me.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36But I managed to dismiss it,

0:07:36 > 0:07:39before it activated my sensitive gag reflex.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41There's nothing wrong with a bit of silver sex, George,

0:07:41 > 0:07:43as long as the old ticker doesn't give way.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47I'm so sorry.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Yeah, well, anyway, it's all paid for...

0:07:49 > 0:07:51so I'll have to try and get a refund.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Or you could use them.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56I can't think of anything worse.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Having to get dressed up to the nines every evening for dinner

0:07:59 > 0:08:02and vying for a place at the Captain's table.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Yeah, sounds awful.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07And anyway, who goes on a cruise on their own?

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Not even my elderly mother by the sounds of it!

0:08:10 > 0:08:12What if you weren't to go on your own?

0:08:12 > 0:08:17That's really sweet of you, but I'm sure it's not your kind of thing.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Oh, really, and why's that? - You'd be bored rigid.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23There's no bingo or knobbly knees contests.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27Knobbly knees?

0:08:27 > 0:08:30So that knot would actually hold all your weight

0:08:30 > 0:08:31if you fell from a mountain?

0:08:31 > 0:08:33It would get tighter the more weight you put on it.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35So you've climbed in the Alps?

0:08:35 > 0:08:37What's the highest you've ever climbed?

0:08:37 > 0:08:40- There was...- Kacey! When did you get back?!

0:08:40 > 0:08:43This morning. I wanted to surprise my mum.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45- Couldn't wait to see you all. - Was it totally amazing?

0:08:45 > 0:08:46Don't you mean -

0:08:46 > 0:08:48AMERICAN ACCENT: Was it totally awesome?

0:08:48 > 0:08:52Get rid of one Barry and another one crawls from under her rock.

0:08:52 > 0:08:53Kacey's sound.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56Come on, you can help me set up in the lecture hall.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58So can you knock people out with one punch now?

0:08:58 > 0:09:00See if you can, start with him.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Watch out girls, creeper alert!

0:09:02 > 0:09:05He's been taking proper dodgy photos again.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07He shouldn't even be allowed back at school!

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Have you got a hold of Lula?

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Oh, no, I've tried to get through, but, so far, no luck.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32I'll keep trying.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Harley is desperate to make sure she's OK.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Well, she's in Kinshasa, we know that, but that's about it.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Poor kid.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41I know, it must be such a cultural shock.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44She'd been here such a long time.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46If Mrs Mulgrew can't even be bothered to show up,

0:09:46 > 0:09:48why are you listening to anything she says?

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Mrs Mulgrew raised some very serious concerns, Darren,

0:09:50 > 0:09:53and our own home visit confirmed them.

0:09:55 > 0:09:56So what?

0:09:56 > 0:09:59What, you're just going to put me into care?

0:09:59 > 0:10:01We have to consider every option.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05However, Mrs Mulgrew did mentioned that the school might be able

0:10:05 > 0:10:07to help Darren stay in the family home.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10I wonder if you have any idea what she had in mind.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16Well, it's difficult to say without having spoken to her.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19What?! This is a joke! He doesn't even know what's going on?!

0:10:19 > 0:10:21I must agree.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23There does seem to be something of a communication

0:10:23 > 0:10:26breakdown between yourself and Mrs Mulgrew.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Where is she?

0:10:28 > 0:10:30SCHOOL BELL RINGS

0:10:33 > 0:10:34KIDS LAUGH

0:10:34 > 0:10:37Hurry up and get to your lessons!

0:10:41 > 0:10:44Imogen, I'm sure you've got a class to go to too.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55I'll be back in touch in a day or two

0:10:55 > 0:10:58- once I've completed my assessment. - If you can just hang on

0:10:58 > 0:11:01a bit longer, I'm sure Mrs Mulgrew will be along soon.

0:11:01 > 0:11:02I'm so sorry I'm late!

0:11:02 > 0:11:04It's Georgina, isn't it? My apologies.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07It's Darren that I think you should be apologising to.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09I'll be in contact shortly to rearrange.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11I'm here now. I need to talk to you about some ideas

0:11:11 > 0:11:14I've got for supporting Darren. If you'd like to go back inside...

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Unfortunately, I have another appointment

0:11:16 > 0:11:18and I'm in danger of being late myself.

0:11:18 > 0:11:19It will take a few minutes.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22If you'd sent them in writing over the weekend like you promised...

0:11:22 > 0:11:25You really should have been here.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28This isn't the only case I'm dealing with this morning.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32Well, I'm sorry if we've taken up your precious time.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34- I beg your pardon? - Darren isn't a case,

0:11:34 > 0:11:36he's a boy who needs our understanding and support.

0:11:36 > 0:11:37You'd do well to remember that!

0:11:37 > 0:11:40And you'd do well to turn up to meetings on time.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42Now, if you'll excuse me.

0:11:44 > 0:11:45I can't believe you've done this.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48Do you know I'm going to be put into care cos of you?

0:11:48 > 0:11:49No decisions have been made yet.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51I'm not leaving my mum.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53I'll just keep running away, I'm telling you.

0:11:53 > 0:11:54I couldn't do nothing!

0:11:54 > 0:11:57Darren, go to class. I'll come and find you later.

0:12:00 > 0:12:01What did she say?

0:12:01 > 0:12:04That our communication is a shambles.

0:12:04 > 0:12:05Why didn't you send her the info?

0:12:08 > 0:12:10I needed to speak to her face to face.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13I needed to put Darren's case before I gave her all the details.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15What details? What haven't you told her?

0:12:16 > 0:12:19She doesn't know about the photos on Darren's phone.

0:12:19 > 0:12:20What?

0:12:23 > 0:12:24Be quiet!

0:12:24 > 0:12:27I'm not sitting there. He's a pervert.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30I can assure you that the school is dealing with any wrongdoing

0:12:30 > 0:12:32that Darren may be guilty of.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34But, miss, if he really has been perving again,

0:12:34 > 0:12:37shouldn't he be excluded or something?

0:12:37 > 0:12:39- Don't worry, I wouldn't bother taking pictures of you.- You what?

0:12:43 > 0:12:45I'll go.

0:12:49 > 0:12:50What is going on in here?

0:12:50 > 0:12:53Some of the pupils have been complaining about Darren

0:12:53 > 0:12:57being in the class after the letters their parents have received.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00Well, the last time I checked, decisions about who should

0:13:00 > 0:13:03or shouldn't be in class were made by me, not the pupils.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05So I don't want to hear any further comment.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Do I make myself clear?- (What's happened to her? Looking rough.)

0:13:08 > 0:13:09Settle down.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11I don't need you sticking up for me.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13I'm sorry?

0:13:13 > 0:13:16You heard. I don't want any favours from you.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Darren Hughes, you will mind your tone.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20You think you're better than everyone else.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23- She can't even put her shoes on properly. - LAUGHTER

0:13:23 > 0:13:25Did you get dressed in the dark or something, miss?

0:13:25 > 0:13:27No way! Her shoes don't match.

0:13:27 > 0:13:31Perhaps we should continue this conversation outside, Mrs Mulgrew?

0:13:31 > 0:13:33Do you have any idea how hard I'm trying to help you?

0:13:33 > 0:13:34Mrs Mulgrew...

0:13:34 > 0:13:38If you don't apologise this minute, you can go straight to the cooler.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41Looks like I'm going cooler, don't it?!

0:13:41 > 0:13:42- Wahey!- Wahey!

0:13:42 > 0:13:44Perhaps we all need to calm down!

0:13:44 > 0:13:46Excuse me?

0:13:46 > 0:13:48I didn't mean...

0:13:48 > 0:13:50I am the Head Teacher of this school, not some errant pupil.

0:13:50 > 0:13:54I will not be told to calm down and I will be treated with respect.

0:13:57 > 0:14:01PHONE RINGS

0:14:05 > 0:14:08RINGING CONTINUES

0:14:10 > 0:14:11You OK, Christine?

0:14:14 > 0:14:18I heard you finally lost patience with er...Saint Audrey.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21It's just all this stuff with Darren Hughes.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23I think I have made a right mess of it.

0:14:23 > 0:14:27Simon said that you weren't feeling too good.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30I'd be fine if everyone would mind their own business.

0:14:30 > 0:14:34I'm not prying, I'm just worried. As is Simon.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39Worried I won't perform to the Board of Education, more like.

0:14:39 > 0:14:44He just wants to blow his Resilience Education trumpet, doesn't he?

0:14:44 > 0:14:49Look, Christine, I hope you'll take this in the spirit in which it's intended, but...

0:14:49 > 0:14:52you need to go home.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54- No, I don't.- Yes, you do.

0:14:56 > 0:14:57You need to go home now.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59Don't be ridiculous,

0:14:59 > 0:15:02I can't take a day off every time I feel a bit under the weather.

0:15:02 > 0:15:03And he'd love that, wouldn't he?

0:15:03 > 0:15:05A chance to do the presentation all on his own.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08- A chance to shine.- I'm not saying don't go to the meeting.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10I'm just saying, before you do, you need to go home...

0:15:10 > 0:15:12and take a shower.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14I beg your pardon?

0:15:14 > 0:15:17You need to have a shower and brush your teeth, Christine.

0:15:17 > 0:15:21You reek of alcohol. Do you understand what I'm saying?

0:15:30 > 0:15:32And we should call you a cab.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44I was getting so used to being a different person out there.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46An athlete.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48You are an athlete.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50Yeah, but I'm a Barry too.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53Everyone around here knows what that means. We're wasters.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55My dad's doing a stretch

0:15:55 > 0:15:58and my brother is well on his way to joining him.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01Yeah, and you and Dynasty are well on your way

0:16:01 > 0:16:04to making something of your lives.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07It's not just the men in your family

0:16:07 > 0:16:09who define what being a Barry really means.

0:16:14 > 0:16:18Is it wrong that I'm more freaked out that Mum's got a boyfriend?

0:16:18 > 0:16:21Considering who it is, probably not, no.

0:16:21 > 0:16:25The scary thing is, she actually seems to like him.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28You must be Kacey. I've heard a lot about you.

0:16:28 > 0:16:29- I'm Mr Reid, the new PE teacher.- Hi.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32I was just showing Miss my stuff from Miami.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35Do you mind if I have a look?

0:16:35 > 0:16:37It's a leaving present.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39It's got all my photos, certificates,

0:16:39 > 0:16:40and training programme on.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43- These are brilliant. - SCHOOL BELL RINGS

0:16:43 > 0:16:44You know what would be great?

0:16:44 > 0:16:47If you came in and spoke to my sixth form students about this.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49I think they'd find it really inspiring.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51I don't know.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53I'm not very good at speaking in front of people.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55- I'd be dead nervous. - You should, Kacey.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Everyone needs to see what you've achieved.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59Will you be there, miss?

0:17:01 > 0:17:06No...I've got classes, but Mr Reid will take care of you.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10Period three in the lecture theatre?

0:17:12 > 0:17:14OK. I'll see you then.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17I'd better get to class. See you later, miss.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19All right. See you.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27- What?- Do not use the students to try and worm your way

0:17:27 > 0:17:29- back into my good books. - As if I'd do that.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36COMPUTER BEEPS

0:17:46 > 0:17:48- Hello?- Hello!

0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Can you hear me? - Yes, I can hear you.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52Oh, you look so great, miss.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Oh, Lula!

0:17:54 > 0:17:56I've been trying to call for days.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59Well, how are you, Lula? We've been so worried about you.

0:17:59 > 0:18:04Courtney, Courtney, get Harley Taylor now! Tell him it's Lula.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Oh, come on. It'll do you good.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08Kacey's home, you want to see her, don't you?

0:18:08 > 0:18:11But school?

0:18:11 > 0:18:13Everyone's desperate to see you. They all miss you.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16I can't, I still need that.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19I thought you were braver than that.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22You were the first one to tell me to go in with my head held high.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24When all that stuff with Barry happened.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Maybe next week.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30I'll ask the therapist. I'm sure we can sort something, yeah?

0:18:35 > 0:18:38I've been spending a lot of time with my dad.

0:18:38 > 0:18:43So it's been great. I didn't realise how much I'd missed him.

0:18:43 > 0:18:44What's it like there?

0:18:44 > 0:18:47It's a total mess. Nothing really works.

0:18:47 > 0:18:51And the school, it's just falling to pieces.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53Sometimes we have to miss classes,

0:18:53 > 0:18:55there's just not enough teachers here.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57Where are you living, Lula?

0:18:57 > 0:19:02With relatives. Just near my school, so it's not far to walk.

0:19:02 > 0:19:05I'm planning to help teach the young children.

0:19:05 > 0:19:09Well, that's admirable, but what about YOUR education?

0:19:09 > 0:19:11I'll be OK.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13We all miss you very much here.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15Me too.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18We must try and stay in touch and...

0:19:19 > 0:19:23Where's she gone? Come on, get her back.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26What a remarkable young woman she is.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28At least we know she's safe.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33PARTY MUSIC PLAYS

0:19:33 > 0:19:35PEOPLE CHATTER

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Hey! Here she is.

0:19:52 > 0:19:53What are this lot doing here?

0:19:53 > 0:19:56Carrying on the party, babe. Round two. Ding-ding!

0:19:56 > 0:19:57I need you to leave.

0:19:57 > 0:20:02No, no, no, what you need is the hair of the dog.

0:20:02 > 0:20:06Put that lovely wee smile back on your face. Here you go.

0:20:11 > 0:20:15You know, you were much more fun when you had a drink in you!

0:20:18 > 0:20:20Right, you lot - out!

0:20:20 > 0:20:23Come on, babe! Don't be like that.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26Listen, I thought we had a connection, me and you?

0:20:26 > 0:20:29Are you kidding? I can't even remember your name.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35Well er...let me remind you, Christine, eh?

0:20:37 > 0:20:39Talk about blowing hot and cold.

0:20:39 > 0:20:40Please just leave.

0:20:40 > 0:20:45You're all very prim and proper now aren't you,

0:20:45 > 0:20:46Headmistress?

0:20:51 > 0:20:52That's right.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56You weren't exactly shy in coming forwards on Saturday night.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00I wonder if the kids know what a goer you are.

0:21:00 > 0:21:01Get your hands off me.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05- Now she's angry.- You've got five minutes to get your mates

0:21:05 > 0:21:08and yourself out of my house before I call the police.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10Is that angry enough for you?

0:21:10 > 0:21:14And risk the parents finding out how you spend your weekends?

0:21:15 > 0:21:16When the police come,

0:21:16 > 0:21:20who do you think they'll cart off to a cell to sober up,

0:21:20 > 0:21:22me or you?

0:22:41 > 0:22:43Don't often see you in here, Carol.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46I was just looking up a recipe.

0:22:47 > 0:22:48A recipe?

0:22:48 > 0:22:50Yeah, that's right.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52A recipe for what?

0:22:52 > 0:22:53Souffle.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56You might as well show me what you're looking at

0:22:56 > 0:23:00- cos I'll only check the computer history when you're gone. - You can do that?

0:23:00 > 0:23:02Yes. And so can every kid in this school,

0:23:02 > 0:23:05so I hope you haven't been looking at things you shouldn't be.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15SHE BURSTS OUT LAUGHING

0:23:16 > 0:23:20Sorry! "How to pull a posh bloke and keep him!"

0:23:20 > 0:23:25I'm guessing the posh bloke you've got in mind is George?

0:23:25 > 0:23:27I just wanted to give him a little treat, that's all.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29"Make self-improvements to become the kind of woman

0:23:29 > 0:23:30"he can be proud of..."

0:23:32 > 0:23:34You know, he's not exactly Benedict Cumberbatch himself!

0:23:34 > 0:23:38I hardly think you're in a position to be giving me relationship advice.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40At least I'm putting up a fight to save mine.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Look, you're not going to impress him

0:23:45 > 0:23:49by learning some upper-class etiquette on a stupid website.

0:23:49 > 0:23:54You need to show him you're interested in the things he is.

0:23:54 > 0:23:55Like red wine and Newsnight?

0:23:55 > 0:23:59I've tried them both and I can't be doing with either.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01No. Like the theatre.

0:24:05 > 0:24:06Are you taking the mick?

0:24:24 > 0:24:26Audrey.

0:24:26 > 0:24:27Can I help you, Mrs Mulgrew?

0:24:28 > 0:24:31I want to apologise for the way I spoke to you earlier.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35In front of the pupils, Christine.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38I know. It was unforgivable.

0:24:41 > 0:24:45I've just been so stressed out over this whole Darren Hughes thing.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47I let it all get on top of me.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50Well, I suppose it can happen to the best of us.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52We'll not mention it again.

0:24:53 > 0:24:58I knew you'd be understanding, Audrey. And, well...a good friend.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02Thank you, Christine.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05We managed to get through to Lula.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07- She's well.- Oh, that's a relief.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09Well, perhaps things are looking up.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17Rita's not stupid, Carol.

0:25:17 > 0:25:21She's a daft bat from Liverpool, who's trying to better herself. I've seen the film.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23No, she's actually really bright.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26Being uneducated and being stupid aren't the same thing, Carol,

0:25:26 > 0:25:29and don't let the likes of George convince you otherwise.

0:25:32 > 0:25:34What?

0:25:34 > 0:25:37You're a smooth talker in a tight corner, Miss Boston.

0:25:37 > 0:25:41- I can see why our Kacey thinks the world of you.- Does she?

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Yeah. Never stops going on about you.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46I'm just glad she's got someone who never lets her down,

0:25:46 > 0:25:48cos God knows I've done that enough.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51Bless her, she's got this presentation this afternoon in Mr Reid's class.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54You should have seen how chuffed she was to be asked.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57I like that Mr Reid, I think he's one of the good guys too.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04Doesn't it feel good to be back?

0:26:04 > 0:26:05Yeah, I suppose.

0:26:05 > 0:26:09Come on. They're your mates. They've done nothing but ask about you

0:26:09 > 0:26:10since it happened.

0:26:11 > 0:26:12Hey, cover it up.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18It's all right, I fixed it. No-one saw.

0:26:18 > 0:26:19I want to go home now.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25The cab's gone now, let's go inside.

0:26:25 > 0:26:29I promise you, Kev - it's going to be OK.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38That's a bit more like it.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43I think I'm over the worst.

0:26:43 > 0:26:47Right. You don't need to do that, you know?

0:26:47 > 0:26:48Do what?

0:26:48 > 0:26:51Pretend. It's me you're talking to.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54I don't judge, because I'm not exactly without flaws,

0:26:54 > 0:26:58and I don't gossip because I have no friends.

0:26:58 > 0:26:59So, the perfect confidante.

0:27:01 > 0:27:02Thank you, George.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07You can pay me back by keeping Lowsley on a short leash

0:27:07 > 0:27:09when it comes to the Board of Education.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12No more new initiatives, please.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14I'll see what I can do.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16Oh, and Christine?

0:27:16 > 0:27:20The occasional defeat doesn't mean you're losing the war, you know that?

0:27:28 > 0:27:30There you are, Mrs Mulgrew!

0:27:30 > 0:27:33I've got a couple of police officers in here looking for you.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35Something to do with your car.

0:27:35 > 0:27:39I'm afraid it's been found abandoned having been involved in an accident.

0:27:39 > 0:27:40Really?

0:27:40 > 0:27:43When was the last time you saw the vehicle, madam?

0:27:43 > 0:27:47I assumed it was there this morning when I left the house.

0:27:48 > 0:27:52One of my colleagues picked me up. Miss McFall, we do a car share.

0:27:55 > 0:27:56You know, now I think about it,

0:27:56 > 0:28:00I don't remember actually seeing it, so maybe it wasn't there.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04Are you thinking it was stolen?

0:28:04 > 0:28:07It would seem the most likely possibility.

0:28:07 > 0:28:11Well, I am shocked. It's usually such a quiet neighbourhood.

0:28:13 > 0:28:15So - what happens now?

0:28:15 > 0:28:18Luckily, there's CCTV on the street where it was found,

0:28:18 > 0:28:20so we're just waiting to get the footage.

0:28:20 > 0:28:23- Then we'll know exactly who was driving.- CCTV?

0:28:23 > 0:28:26Yes. Let's hope it doesn't turn out to be one of your students!

0:28:33 > 0:28:36That was in Colorado last summer.

0:28:36 > 0:28:38Is that close to Miami, where Kacey were?

0:28:39 > 0:28:43Gabriella, would you mind if we postponed your presentation?

0:28:43 > 0:28:47Kacey is back from the States. She's going to be talking today.

0:28:47 > 0:28:49Give me your tablet.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51Mr Reid, it's all set up.

0:28:51 > 0:28:53It would be great for everyone to hear about her time there.

0:28:58 > 0:29:00Coach Matthews took that one.

0:29:00 > 0:29:03- Look who's come to visit. - Kev! You're back. That's amazing.

0:29:03 > 0:29:07- Hi, Rhiannon.- Why didn't you tell me you were coming in?- She didn't...

0:29:07 > 0:29:10Great, isn't it? He's really on the mend.

0:29:10 > 0:29:12This is turning out to be a day of returning heroes!

0:29:20 > 0:29:22You ready for the Board?

0:29:22 > 0:29:24Absolutely.

0:29:24 > 0:29:27I hope they can see what can be achieved with all this.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29I think the results at Waterloo Road speak for themselves.

0:29:29 > 0:29:33We've had a few hiccups, admittedly, but it's a learning curve.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36We just need to focus on how efficiently it could be

0:29:36 > 0:29:38- rolled out elsewhere.- Got it.

0:29:38 > 0:29:41Demonstrate that the blueprint for Resilience Education already

0:29:41 > 0:29:43exists, and that it's just a matter of implementation

0:29:43 > 0:29:45- and they'll be onto a winner. - I said, I've got it.

0:29:45 > 0:29:47I'm just making sure we're on the same page.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49Well, I don't need coaching.

0:29:49 > 0:29:52- I was here when we did this, remember?- Of course.

0:29:52 > 0:29:55You go ahead, I'll be over in a minute.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57Christine, if you're not feeling well,

0:29:57 > 0:30:00it might be better to postpone, we need to get the pitch right.

0:30:00 > 0:30:03- I'm fine.- Because if you're not feeling up to it...

0:30:03 > 0:30:06Simon, I'll be right there. Just give me a second. OK?

0:30:06 > 0:30:07OK. Good.

0:30:47 > 0:30:48And that's the last one.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50APPLAUSE AND CHEERS

0:30:53 > 0:30:55When I first got offered the place,

0:30:55 > 0:30:57I didn't think I was good enough.

0:30:58 > 0:31:01Then Miss Boston said that I WAS good enough,

0:31:01 > 0:31:08and she told me to believe in myself, and I'm glad she got through to me.

0:31:08 > 0:31:11My Miami coach, Coach Matthews, said she did a great job.

0:31:12 > 0:31:15Because Coach says it's all about the top two inches.

0:31:15 > 0:31:19- The what?- What you've got up here. Between your ears.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22Mind over body.

0:31:22 > 0:31:25Coach Matthews says if you want your body to do something

0:31:25 > 0:31:28that badly, then it will do it.

0:31:28 > 0:31:31It just might take some time to get used to the idea.

0:31:32 > 0:31:34So never give up.

0:31:34 > 0:31:35Mind over body, Kevin.

0:31:35 > 0:31:38Getting your body used to the idea of being battered seems

0:31:38 > 0:31:41- pretty mindless to me. - Boxing isn't about getting battered.

0:31:41 > 0:31:45It's about using your speed and agility to avoid that.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47Can you give us a demo, Kacey?

0:31:47 > 0:31:48Yeah, sure.

0:31:48 > 0:31:51Do we have a volunteer?

0:31:51 > 0:31:52How about Kevin?!

0:31:52 > 0:31:54How about you, Gabriella?

0:31:54 > 0:31:59Well, getting punched is preferable to hearing more about Coach Matthews.

0:32:00 > 0:32:04You see, basically, boxing is more than just fighting.

0:32:04 > 0:32:07It's about wrong-footing your opponent.

0:32:07 > 0:32:09It's about being patience.

0:32:09 > 0:32:11Knowing when to attack.

0:32:11 > 0:32:14And when to drop back.

0:32:14 > 0:32:17You need to find their weaknesses.

0:32:17 > 0:32:19All the time trying not to give yours away.

0:32:19 > 0:32:25So, by the time you that finally make contact, they're unbalanced.

0:32:28 > 0:32:29CLASS LAUGHS

0:32:30 > 0:32:33And they go down like a sack of spuds!

0:32:33 > 0:32:35That's what Coach Matthews says anyway.

0:32:44 > 0:32:47What we've seen is an increase in the conduct

0:32:47 > 0:32:49we associate with good citizenship.

0:32:49 > 0:32:53Behaving responsibly, treating others with respect...

0:32:55 > 0:33:00And with that, a reduction in antisocial behaviour.

0:33:00 > 0:33:04Both unauthorised absences and exclusions are down.

0:33:04 > 0:33:07Well, it's very impressive, I must say, Mr Lowsley.

0:33:07 > 0:33:12An excellent initiative introduced by a very innovative young teacher.

0:33:12 > 0:33:16But, unfortunately, we have some other issues on the agenda

0:33:16 > 0:33:19which are not a cause for celebration.

0:33:19 > 0:33:21Ah - excellent timing, Ms Wilkes,

0:33:21 > 0:33:24we were just about to move to the next item on the agenda.

0:33:24 > 0:33:27I didn't know there were any other items on the agenda.

0:33:27 > 0:33:30Nor did I, Mrs Mulgrew, until this morning

0:33:30 > 0:33:33when I was inundated with calls from irate parents.

0:33:33 > 0:33:36The ones who received letters from you, informing them

0:33:36 > 0:33:39that their daughters had been photographed inappropriately.

0:33:39 > 0:33:42- An issue I am dealing with.- Ah!

0:33:42 > 0:33:45I may well have been inclined to believe you had it in hand,

0:33:45 > 0:33:48had I not also had a call from Social Services

0:33:48 > 0:33:52expressing some concerns about an issue of child protection.

0:33:52 > 0:33:55I was extremely alarmed to discover from Mr Bain

0:33:55 > 0:33:59that Darren had been taking photographs of a sexual nature,

0:33:59 > 0:34:01something you had omitted to mention at our meeting.

0:34:01 > 0:34:03That's probably my fault...

0:34:03 > 0:34:07Then again, had you attended the meeting in its entirety, perhaps it would have been covered.

0:34:07 > 0:34:09You were too busy to give this case the time of day.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12Isn't strange you suddenly have a window in your schedule?

0:34:12 > 0:34:14We're not talking about a case,

0:34:14 > 0:34:16we're talking about a child, Mrs Mulgrew.

0:34:19 > 0:34:21Fine.

0:34:21 > 0:34:24Maybe I should have informed Social Services about the photographs

0:34:24 > 0:34:25and the Board about Darren's situation,

0:34:25 > 0:34:29but I have been responding to events as they happen.

0:34:29 > 0:34:32Parents aren't confident in your handling of the situation,

0:34:32 > 0:34:35neither are Social Services and, frankly, neither am I.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37I'm not sure that's fair, Mr Bain.

0:34:37 > 0:34:40- Well, I think it is, Mr Lowsley. - Mr Lowsley! Mr Bain!

0:34:40 > 0:34:43Is that what you call each other at Sunday lunch?

0:34:43 > 0:34:46I'm not sure what you're trying to insinuate, Christine,

0:34:46 > 0:34:48but perhaps we can try and focus if you can.

0:34:48 > 0:34:51This is a potential PR disaster.

0:34:51 > 0:34:53I might have known THAT would bother you.

0:34:53 > 0:34:56Well, someone's got to care about the school's reputation!

0:34:56 > 0:34:59This is entirely typical of an LA that offers no support,

0:34:59 > 0:35:00a bare minimum of funding,

0:35:00 > 0:35:03but yet is first in line to criticise our every mistake.

0:35:03 > 0:35:04Simply not the case, Christine.

0:35:04 > 0:35:06Your selective memory is unbelievable.

0:35:06 > 0:35:08What, and yours isn't?

0:35:08 > 0:35:10I seem to recall you being a little less than supportive

0:35:10 > 0:35:12of Simon's Resilience Education initiative.

0:35:12 > 0:35:14In fact, as far as I understand it,

0:35:14 > 0:35:16you've threatened to cancel the whole thing

0:35:16 > 0:35:18- on more than one occasion. - Robert, I'm not sure that...

0:35:18 > 0:35:20Oh!

0:35:20 > 0:35:23Robert, Simon, so now I really DO know

0:35:23 > 0:35:24what's discussed over Sunday lunch.

0:35:26 > 0:35:28Thank you for your loyalty, Simon.

0:35:29 > 0:35:31- Christine! - No, I'm going to leave you two

0:35:31 > 0:35:33to your mutual appreciation society.

0:35:33 > 0:35:35Some of us have a school to run!

0:35:44 > 0:35:46What the hell was that about?

0:35:46 > 0:35:47Oh, that felt good.

0:35:48 > 0:35:51You can't possibly think you've done us any favours at all in there!

0:35:51 > 0:35:52Us?

0:35:53 > 0:35:57There's isn't really an "us" in your world, is there, Simon?

0:35:57 > 0:36:01Your initiatives, your promotion, your career.

0:36:01 > 0:36:03It must be so tedious when the children and the school

0:36:03 > 0:36:05come between you and your five-year plan.

0:36:05 > 0:36:06That is not fair.

0:36:06 > 0:36:09I've done everything I can to stand by you.

0:36:09 > 0:36:12Yeah, it's no secret that I want to be a head teacher,

0:36:12 > 0:36:14but that doesn't mean to say I want your job.

0:36:14 > 0:36:17Is that what you tell yourself?

0:36:17 > 0:36:19Is that what you tell yourself so you can sleep at night?

0:36:20 > 0:36:23You get back in there and you explain to them

0:36:23 > 0:36:25that you haven't been well and apologise.

0:36:25 > 0:36:27Everyone has an off day, Christine, they'll understand.

0:36:28 > 0:36:32This isn't an off day, Simon. This is an on day.

0:36:32 > 0:36:33This is the first time in ages

0:36:33 > 0:36:36I have had anything resembling clarity.

0:36:37 > 0:36:39So there will be no apology.

0:36:41 > 0:36:43I'm not playing the game any more.

0:36:43 > 0:36:44It's yours.

0:36:44 > 0:36:48The job, the big office, you are welcome to it.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50- I am done.- No, you don't mean that.

0:36:50 > 0:36:51- Don't I?- No.

0:36:53 > 0:36:55Simon, we'd like to talk to you.

0:36:55 > 0:36:56Yeah, run along, Simon.

0:36:56 > 0:36:58You may be determined to ruin your own career,

0:36:58 > 0:37:01but I will not let you drag him down with you.

0:37:01 > 0:37:03Oh, don't worry - after today,

0:37:03 > 0:37:05Golden Boy can do what he likes with this place.

0:37:06 > 0:37:07I quit!

0:37:07 > 0:37:08Christine!

0:37:08 > 0:37:10Let her go.

0:37:19 > 0:37:20SHE SIGHS

0:37:22 > 0:37:25I think Kacey got a lot from that presentation.

0:37:25 > 0:37:27If I didn't know you better, Nikki,

0:37:27 > 0:37:28I'd think that was an apology.

0:37:30 > 0:37:32Well, it's a good job you know me better, then, isn't it?

0:37:34 > 0:37:37I got this one for winning a pull-up competition.

0:37:37 > 0:37:39I beat all the boys and everything.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41And I heard for a while you WERE a boy!

0:37:41 > 0:37:42I heard for a while you were an idiot.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44Oh, wait there, you still are!

0:37:45 > 0:37:47Carry on, Kace.

0:37:47 > 0:37:49This was for my work on the punchbags.

0:37:49 > 0:37:51- That's brilliant.- Completely unaccredited certificates.

0:37:51 > 0:37:54- How amazing(!)- It's not really about the certificates,

0:37:54 > 0:37:56it's about what they represent.

0:37:56 > 0:37:57Don't expect her to understand.

0:37:57 > 0:38:00If she can't stick it on Daddy's credit card,

0:38:00 > 0:38:01it's not worth having.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03Well, if your boyfriend likes certificates so much,

0:38:03 > 0:38:06maybe they'll give him one for learning how to pee on his own.

0:38:06 > 0:38:08That's right, everyone.

0:38:08 > 0:38:11Kevin pees in a bag now. I can smell it from here.

0:38:11 > 0:38:12You're sick, you know that?

0:38:12 > 0:38:16- HECTOR:- Hey, stop that now! That's enough! Gabriella, cooler.

0:38:16 > 0:38:18She's not worth it, Kacey.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20CRUNCHING

0:38:25 > 0:38:26Sorry, Kace.

0:38:29 > 0:38:31I don't see why I'm the one getting in trouble.

0:38:31 > 0:38:34- She attacked me.- You're starting to become a very unpleasant young woman,

0:38:34 > 0:38:37- do you know that?- Gabriella?

0:38:37 > 0:38:39Go along to the cooler, please.

0:38:39 > 0:38:41Mr Reid will be with you in a minute.

0:38:43 > 0:38:45- That was a bit harsh, don't you think?- Uh, no, I don't think.

0:38:45 > 0:38:48She just humiliated Kevin Chalk in front of everyone

0:38:48 > 0:38:51and all because I postponed her poxy little presentation.

0:38:51 > 0:38:54Well, I suppose that shows how much it means to her.

0:38:54 > 0:38:56You're taking her side?

0:38:56 > 0:38:57I just hope that the way you're treating her

0:38:57 > 0:38:59has nothing to do with her outing you and Nikki.

0:38:59 > 0:39:03Thanks, mate, for assuming the absolute worst of me.

0:39:03 > 0:39:04Hector!

0:39:04 > 0:39:05Just do one, Simon!

0:39:05 > 0:39:07HE SIGHS

0:39:08 > 0:39:10How did the big presentation go?

0:39:12 > 0:39:13Shake hands.

0:39:13 > 0:39:16Now - you that way, and you that way.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24Victoria, I've ordered ahead.

0:39:26 > 0:39:27Oh!

0:39:27 > 0:39:31I don't know about you, but I am absolutely starving.

0:39:33 > 0:39:35She's not worth it, Vix.

0:39:35 > 0:39:37I know, she's really sorry.

0:39:37 > 0:39:41- When did she give you that? - Simon gave it to me.

0:39:41 > 0:39:44You're not seriously thinking about giving her another chance?

0:39:46 > 0:39:49She'll only hurt you again. You deserve better.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54Yes, I do.

0:39:56 > 0:39:57ENGINE STARTS

0:39:57 > 0:40:00You can't just leave, not because of that stupid cow.

0:40:00 > 0:40:02No-one cares about her anyway.

0:40:02 > 0:40:03What did you say to me this morning?

0:40:05 > 0:40:06What are you talking about?

0:40:06 > 0:40:10You promised. Everybody's laughing at me.

0:40:10 > 0:40:12No-one's laughing at you, Kev.

0:40:12 > 0:40:13They want you to get better.

0:40:13 > 0:40:15Well, I'll get better in the hospital!

0:40:17 > 0:40:18OK.

0:40:30 > 0:40:32I heard about the meeting.

0:40:32 > 0:40:35Things needed to be said, so I said them.

0:40:35 > 0:40:37So what now, this is you leaving?

0:40:38 > 0:40:41I no longer think my position here is tenable.

0:40:42 > 0:40:44This isn't you speaking.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46Well, my lips are moving, George, so it must be.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49Christine, you're drunk. You need to go home and sleep it off.

0:40:49 > 0:40:52Deal with the fallout tomorrow when your head is straight.

0:40:55 > 0:40:56I don't want this.

0:40:56 > 0:40:59And I don't think you should have any more of it either.

0:40:59 > 0:41:01When did you become so sensible?

0:41:01 > 0:41:05We didn't go a week without a lock-in down the Blacksmith's.

0:41:05 > 0:41:08- HE SIGHS - That was then.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10I used to worry about you, George. Can you believe that?

0:41:10 > 0:41:14I used to worry that YOU liked to drink a bit too much.

0:41:14 > 0:41:15I DID like to drink a bit too much.

0:41:15 > 0:41:19Here but for the grace of God go you, eh, George?

0:41:19 > 0:41:20Quite possibly.

0:41:21 > 0:41:26You know, I'm not sure I like you when you're being sensible, George.

0:41:26 > 0:41:28I think I prefer you when you're behaving badly.

0:41:28 > 0:41:30Oh, for goodness' sake!

0:41:30 > 0:41:33Oh, sorry. "My bad!", as my son would say.

0:41:33 > 0:41:36I forgot, you've got lovely Carol to think about, haven't you?

0:41:36 > 0:41:37But George, really?

0:41:38 > 0:41:40Carol Barry?

0:41:40 > 0:41:42SHE LAUGHS

0:41:42 > 0:41:44- I should go.- Yeah, go on.

0:41:46 > 0:41:48Everybody does.

0:41:49 > 0:41:54The kids are saying that Christine came into work drunk this morning.

0:41:54 > 0:41:56They're calling her "Two-Shoe Mulgrew".

0:41:56 > 0:41:59Apparently she had an odd pair on or something.

0:41:59 > 0:42:01I haven't heard anything. I've been in this job long enough

0:42:01 > 0:42:03to take what I DO hear with a pinch of salt.

0:42:03 > 0:42:07So the shoe thing with Darren Hughes in your class didn't happen?

0:42:07 > 0:42:10Darren Hughes is a troubled young man under the spotlight.

0:42:10 > 0:42:12What's Christine's excuse?

0:42:12 > 0:42:14Audrey's right.

0:42:14 > 0:42:16We're not doing Christine any favours, are we,

0:42:16 > 0:42:18spreading stories about her?

0:42:18 > 0:42:20Yeah, but there's a difference between gossiping

0:42:20 > 0:42:21and being concerned.

0:42:21 > 0:42:25Yes, but the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.

0:42:25 > 0:42:27- SHE SIGHS - Right...

0:42:27 > 0:42:31Perhaps you think you're being loyal or discreet or whatever, Audrey.

0:42:31 > 0:42:34But what you're actually doing is sticking your head in the sand.

0:42:34 > 0:42:38Because if you know something and you're covering for her, you're not helping Christine

0:42:38 > 0:42:41and you're certainly not helping the kids.

0:42:41 > 0:42:42Hey, have you lot heard about...

0:42:42 > 0:42:45IN SCOTTISH ACCENT: .."Two-Shoe Mulgrew"?

0:42:45 > 0:42:46HE CHUCKLES

0:42:51 > 0:42:54Christine, are you OK?

0:42:54 > 0:42:56Couldn't be better, Sonya.

0:42:56 > 0:42:59Um, I'm going to go and get a few boxes

0:42:59 > 0:43:01and then I'm going come back and clear my desk,

0:43:01 > 0:43:03which is something I should have done months ago!

0:43:05 > 0:43:06Right...

0:43:07 > 0:43:09ECHOING LAUGHTER

0:43:11 > 0:43:14Mrs Mulgrew, are you OK?

0:43:14 > 0:43:16If one more person asks me that today, I will scream!

0:43:16 > 0:43:17Where are you going?

0:43:17 > 0:43:18SHE SIGHS

0:43:18 > 0:43:21To the canteen, Imogen, not that it's any of your business.

0:43:21 > 0:43:24Maybe I could get you something and bring it back to your office.

0:43:24 > 0:43:25And why would you do that?

0:43:25 > 0:43:28- Have I suddenly lost the power of my legs or something?- I just...

0:43:28 > 0:43:30- I was just trying to help. - With what?

0:43:30 > 0:43:33What exactly were you trying to help with?

0:43:33 > 0:43:35Nothing.

0:43:37 > 0:43:38Do you need me to call Connor?

0:43:45 > 0:43:48If you care about him,

0:43:48 > 0:43:50don't call him.

0:43:50 > 0:43:53He can't have me disrupt his life again.

0:43:53 > 0:43:54I just...don't know what to do.

0:43:59 > 0:44:02I'll go back to my office

0:44:02 > 0:44:05and I will sort myself out. Just promise you won't phone Connor.

0:44:10 > 0:44:11Imogen?

0:44:11 > 0:44:12OK.

0:44:13 > 0:44:14I promise.

0:44:28 > 0:44:31- HE SLAMS DOOR - Christine is clearing her desk.

0:44:31 > 0:44:32And?

0:44:32 > 0:44:34So she is actually leaving?

0:44:34 > 0:44:36I don't know what you want me to do about that, George.

0:44:36 > 0:44:38I want you to try and talk her out of it!

0:44:38 > 0:44:40She's made her decision, and based on what I've seen,

0:44:40 > 0:44:42it's for the best.

0:44:42 > 0:44:44Have you any idea how difficult it must be

0:44:44 > 0:44:45to fight an addiction, Simon?

0:44:45 > 0:44:48- I can only guess, but we have a responsibility...- One day.

0:44:48 > 0:44:51The one day she slips up, you're prepared to sell her down the river?

0:44:51 > 0:44:54You can give the likes of Gabriella Wark chance after chance.

0:44:54 > 0:44:57Shame you can't show the same compassion for Christine.

0:44:57 > 0:45:00Christine is a grown woman. Gabriella Wark's a child!

0:45:00 > 0:45:02Yes, well, only you know if that's the real reason, Simon.

0:45:02 > 0:45:04And what's that supposed to mean?

0:45:04 > 0:45:06The other big difference is that

0:45:06 > 0:45:10Gabriella Wark is not blocking the next rung on your career ladder.

0:45:12 > 0:45:15Now, let's wake you all up a bit with a quickfire round.

0:45:15 > 0:45:20Causes of the French Revolution? Anyone? Hands up.

0:45:21 > 0:45:22- Sorry, miss.- Take a seat.

0:45:22 > 0:45:27Come on, we only did this last week.

0:45:27 > 0:45:29- Nicole...? - People were starving.

0:45:29 > 0:45:31- The crops failed.- Well done.

0:45:31 > 0:45:33Kev's not talking to me.

0:45:33 > 0:45:35Why, what did you do?

0:45:35 > 0:45:39I forced him to come in today. He said he wasn't ready.

0:45:39 > 0:45:43- Anyone else? Max?- High taxes. - Very good.

0:45:43 > 0:45:47- He can't blame you for what Gabi did.- I rushed him.

0:45:47 > 0:45:50He's embarrassed, looking for somebody to lash out at.

0:45:50 > 0:45:52I'm his girlfriend, I should have listened.

0:45:52 > 0:45:54You did what you thought was right.

0:45:54 > 0:45:58Better to do something than do nothing.

0:45:58 > 0:46:00Why, what's happened?

0:46:00 > 0:46:04Now, I want you to turn to chapter four in your workbooks, please,

0:46:04 > 0:46:06and read the first paragraph...

0:46:16 > 0:46:18I've got a surprise for you!

0:46:18 > 0:46:21I don't really have time for surprises today.

0:46:21 > 0:46:26Sorry. A surprise sounds lovely. What is it?

0:46:26 > 0:46:29Two tickets for the theatre, for tonight!

0:46:29 > 0:46:31It doesn't sound like your kind of thing.

0:46:31 > 0:46:33Mmm, not just a pretty face.

0:46:33 > 0:46:35Here, did you hear about Christine this morning?

0:46:35 > 0:46:37Apparently, she was pickled as a newt.

0:46:37 > 0:46:38Who told you that?

0:46:38 > 0:46:43Do you want the full list? Apparently, she had odd shoes on.

0:46:43 > 0:46:44Any of the kids notice?

0:46:44 > 0:46:46Have a look at their feet, George!

0:46:50 > 0:46:53You've got to see the funny side.

0:46:53 > 0:46:57It isn't a joke, Carol. Christine's career is on the line.

0:46:57 > 0:47:00And she happens to be a friend of mine, which makes it my problem too.

0:47:00 > 0:47:04OK, I want everyone in their right shoes, right now.

0:47:04 > 0:47:08And I'd like to know this minute who was behind this little stunt.

0:47:13 > 0:47:15That'll be me, sir.

0:47:18 > 0:47:19KNOCK AT DOOR

0:47:19 > 0:47:23- Mrs Mulgrew... - What is it, Sonya?

0:47:23 > 0:47:24Er, the, um...

0:47:24 > 0:47:29the police are here again to see you.

0:47:29 > 0:47:31Shall I tell them you're busy?

0:47:31 > 0:47:33Do I look busy to you, Sonya?

0:47:33 > 0:47:37No, but... No.

0:47:37 > 0:47:40- Well, send them in.- What? Now? - Yes, Sonya, now.

0:47:40 > 0:47:44Don't you think you should put that away first?

0:47:52 > 0:47:54Er, come through.

0:47:56 > 0:47:58Thank you, Sonya.

0:48:03 > 0:48:04Did you go to this school?

0:48:04 > 0:48:07Erm, yes. Back when it was Havelock.

0:48:07 > 0:48:09And you?

0:48:09 > 0:48:10I didn't grow up around here.

0:48:10 > 0:48:12My uncle was a police officer.

0:48:12 > 0:48:15Not the sharpest tool in the box, but I don't suppose you have to be

0:48:15 > 0:48:17for issuing tickets and cracking heads.

0:48:17 > 0:48:20We've come to update you on the CCTV.

0:48:20 > 0:48:22I think I'm ahead of you there.

0:48:22 > 0:48:24I'm afraid the camera was broken.

0:48:24 > 0:48:26We don't have footage of the person who stole your car.

0:48:32 > 0:48:34SHE LAUGHS BITTERLY

0:48:35 > 0:48:39- Are you OK, madam?- I am. It's just...

0:48:39 > 0:48:42It's sod's law, isn't it?

0:48:42 > 0:48:45We'll dust for prints, but I doubt we'll have much joy.

0:48:45 > 0:48:48Well, thanks for your time.

0:48:48 > 0:48:50If there's anything I can do, just let me know.

0:49:00 > 0:49:04Mrs Mulgrew deserves better, quite frankly, from you especially.

0:49:04 > 0:49:05You think so?

0:49:05 > 0:49:07Is there something about the cooler

0:49:07 > 0:49:09that particularly attracts you, Darren?

0:49:09 > 0:49:12You do seem intent on spending as much time in there as possible.

0:49:12 > 0:49:14Well, it keeps me off the streets, sir.

0:49:14 > 0:49:18It means the female population are safe from your attentions, at least.

0:49:18 > 0:49:20Hello, Darren.

0:49:20 > 0:49:23On first name terms, I can't help noticing.

0:49:23 > 0:49:25Why does that not surprise me?

0:49:25 > 0:49:27- What have you been up to?- Nowt.

0:49:27 > 0:49:29Nothing that he needs arresting for, anyway.

0:49:29 > 0:49:32Unless pointing out that the head teacher's wearing odd shoes is a crime.

0:49:32 > 0:49:35- You should have seen the state of her.- That's enough.

0:49:35 > 0:49:37What do you get for being drunk in charge of a school?

0:49:39 > 0:49:42So to recap, the country's debt,

0:49:42 > 0:49:44high taxation, famine...

0:49:44 > 0:49:49Mrs Mulgrew's right. Connor is going to come running if you call him.

0:49:49 > 0:49:51It's his mother.

0:49:51 > 0:49:54But he's doing really great down there. Maybe this is just a one-off.

0:49:54 > 0:49:58She was right out of it. If she's really started drinking again...

0:49:58 > 0:50:00he'll never forgive me if I don't call.

0:50:00 > 0:50:02Now, what I want you all to do...

0:50:02 > 0:50:04KNOCK AT DOOR

0:50:04 > 0:50:07- Miss McFall?- Yes. - Could we have a word, please?

0:50:07 > 0:50:12Certainly. Keep the noise down in here, please.

0:50:12 > 0:50:16What would the bizzies want with Miss McFall?

0:50:16 > 0:50:19- Lift share?- Yes, how often do you drive her into work?

0:50:20 > 0:50:23Oh, that's right. No, I did drive Christine in this morning.

0:50:23 > 0:50:26I hope I didn't jump a red light or anything!

0:50:26 > 0:50:29No, nothing like that. Just a routine enquiry.

0:50:29 > 0:50:32Mrs Mulgrew had her car stolen this morning.

0:50:32 > 0:50:36Yes, dreadful business. She told me when I picked her up.

0:50:36 > 0:50:39Well, that's odd, because she told us she didn't know it was missing

0:50:39 > 0:50:40until we informed her.

0:50:40 > 0:50:44Well, it must have been some other time she mentioned it.

0:50:44 > 0:50:45Miss McFall, I hope you realise

0:50:45 > 0:50:48that perverting the course of justice is a crime.

0:50:48 > 0:50:50It isn't something that should be done on a whim

0:50:50 > 0:50:52- to cover for a friend. - I'm well aware of that, thank you.

0:50:52 > 0:50:55Her car was in an accident. The driver abandoned the vehicle.

0:50:55 > 0:50:58Maybe we should take you down to the station.

0:50:58 > 0:50:59Make an official statement.

0:51:03 > 0:51:06Oh, she's a good woman, officer, please.

0:51:06 > 0:51:08Surely we can all make mistakes.

0:51:11 > 0:51:14They'll be here any minute.

0:51:14 > 0:51:16Doubt Audrey's ever told a lie in her life.

0:51:17 > 0:51:20I should never have put her in that position.

0:51:20 > 0:51:23I can get you home, buy you a bit of time to sober up.

0:51:23 > 0:51:25Get your story straight.

0:51:25 > 0:51:26KNOCK AT DOOR

0:51:27 > 0:51:30- Officers. Still here?- We'd like to ask you a few more questions

0:51:30 > 0:51:32about your movements this morning.

0:51:32 > 0:51:36You'd better come in. George, we can finish this another time.

0:51:36 > 0:51:40- I should probably stay. - No, you have a class to go to.

0:51:44 > 0:51:47We have a little problem, Mrs Mulgrew.

0:51:47 > 0:51:49Miss McFall doesn't corroborate your story

0:51:49 > 0:51:52about having come to work with her this morning.

0:51:53 > 0:51:57I said Audrey, but what I meant was my daughter-in-law, Imogen.

0:51:57 > 0:52:00We don't often share, but we did this morning.

0:52:00 > 0:52:04I wonder if maybe you drove your car this morning, Mrs Mulgrew.

0:52:04 > 0:52:07Had a little prang and decided to abandon it?

0:52:07 > 0:52:09Are you calling me a liar?

0:52:09 > 0:52:12Perhaps you left the car because you were worried you might be breathalysed?

0:52:12 > 0:52:14- I want you to leave. - Had you been drinking?

0:52:14 > 0:52:16At 8:30 in the morning?

0:52:16 > 0:52:18Have you been drinking since, Mrs Mulgrew?

0:52:18 > 0:52:19I want you to leave right now!

0:52:33 > 0:52:35Get off me!

0:52:35 > 0:52:38I swear I'll have your jobs for this!

0:52:38 > 0:52:40Get to your lessons.

0:52:49 > 0:52:51Get to your lessons. Now!

0:52:53 > 0:52:58Connor...you need to come home. Something awful's happened.

0:53:02 > 0:53:04Look, I know how you feel about Christine at the moment,

0:53:04 > 0:53:08but I'm going down to the police station to try and get her out.

0:53:08 > 0:53:11You can go running after Christine if you want, George, but leave me out of it.

0:53:13 > 0:53:18Great. Let me guess, you've got a new nameplate to order.

0:53:18 > 0:53:20I'll probably stay at George's tonight.

0:53:20 > 0:53:22Yeah, all right, we get the picture.

0:53:22 > 0:53:25There's some flapjacks and waffles in the cupboard for your breakfast.

0:53:25 > 0:53:27I'll see you tomorrow.

0:53:29 > 0:53:31- Hiya.- What a day!

0:53:31 > 0:53:33I thought I'd get ready at yours.

0:53:33 > 0:53:36Mmm? Oh, the theatre.

0:53:37 > 0:53:40The snag is...Christine.

0:53:40 > 0:53:45It'll keep your mind off things... and I've packed my toothbrush.

0:53:48 > 0:53:51- I'm sorry.- George.

0:53:51 > 0:53:53A night in a cell'll probably do her good.

0:53:53 > 0:53:55You can see her in the morning.

0:53:57 > 0:54:00I've got to do something.

0:54:03 > 0:54:05I toast a mean waffle, Mum.

0:54:08 > 0:54:10SQUEALS AND LAUGHTER

0:54:10 > 0:54:17Right - to the new acting head of Waterloo Road!

0:54:17 > 0:54:20How good does that sound?

0:54:20 > 0:54:24I don't think you'll be just acting the part for too long either!

0:54:25 > 0:54:28There won't be any way back for her after today.

0:54:28 > 0:54:32I'm not sure this is right, you know. Christine's a good teacher.

0:54:32 > 0:54:35Yeah, she made a big mistake, but...champagne?

0:54:35 > 0:54:38Simon, get over yourself. Always thinking of other people.

0:54:38 > 0:54:40Do what's right for me and you for once.

0:54:40 > 0:54:46- It's not a good day for the school. - Agreed, but the only way is up after this.

0:54:48 > 0:54:51She's a good friend of mine, Christine Mulgrew?

0:54:51 > 0:54:54- That's right.- I was hoping I might be able to see her.

0:54:54 > 0:54:56I'm afraid that won't be possible.

0:54:57 > 0:54:59Do you have any idea when you're going to release her?

0:54:59 > 0:55:01When she's been interviewed.

0:55:01 > 0:55:02And when might that be?

0:55:02 > 0:55:04When she's sobered up.

0:55:06 > 0:55:10Why don't you go home? Save yourself a long wait.

0:55:10 > 0:55:11We're going nowhere, sunshine.

0:55:11 > 0:55:13Take a pew, George.

0:55:15 > 0:55:18Right. What have you charged her with?

0:55:18 > 0:55:21You have charged her?

0:55:21 > 0:55:23You can't just keep her banged up for no reason. She's got rights.

0:55:23 > 0:55:27Now, wind your neck in and go and find somebody who knows what's what.

0:55:27 > 0:55:29And I'll have a cup of tea if you're making one.

0:55:36 > 0:55:38If she's your problem, she's my problem.

0:55:40 > 0:55:43Oh, and by the way, that play.

0:55:43 > 0:55:45It didn't have a very happy ending.

0:56:53 > 0:56:56The wall is a thank you from me to you for all your hard work

0:56:56 > 0:56:59and to celebrate everyone's achievements.

0:56:59 > 0:57:00KNOCKING ON DOOR

0:57:00 > 0:57:02Mum?

0:57:02 > 0:57:05If they stop her from teaching, she's got nothing.

0:57:05 > 0:57:09It's not your job to save her.

0:57:09 > 0:57:11- Stop it!- Gabriella's claiming that Nikki hit her.

0:57:11 > 0:57:13I walked in on them and I think that...

0:57:13 > 0:57:15- What? That she did it? - Are you saying that I'm lying?

0:57:15 > 0:57:18- I don't know.- I wouldn't.

0:57:18 > 0:57:20I didn't touch her, so I am going back to my class

0:57:20 > 0:57:23and you can get Gabriella to tell you the truth!

0:57:25 > 0:57:26SHE SCREAMS
