0:00:16 > 0:00:20She's not worth it, Vix. She'll only hurt you again.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Roll on 3:30.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15The sooner we're on that cruise ship and away from Lowsley, the better.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23and making Resilience Education such a success.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27The wall is a thank-you from me to you for all your hard work

0:02:27 > 0:02:30and to celebrate everyone's achievements.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33- That's dead high, that, sir. - Yeah, I know.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Consider this your last Resilience challenge.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38You going to give it a go, Gabriella?

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Maybe. I did the real thing on my Duke of Edinburgh.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43Yeah, I know.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46Every form will get a chance to tackle it.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48And I have to admit - it's pretty sick.

0:02:48 > 0:02:53Three cheers for our new Head teacher! Hip Hip Hooray.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55- Hip hip...- Hooray!

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Where did they get all these details?

0:02:58 > 0:03:00The police informed us they'd dropped all the charges.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03This is rubbing salt into the wound.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05The climbing wall's not just for Gabriella Wark's benefit, is it?

0:03:05 > 0:03:08Of course not, but working on the wall with the other kids

0:03:08 > 0:03:10- might encourage her to fit in. - Have you seen...

0:03:10 > 0:03:12Yes, yes. I did the phone interview.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14You did what?

0:03:14 > 0:03:17Parents are concerned. We need total transparency to move on.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Move on? Simon, Christine is our friend.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Has anyone even spoken to her?

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Not since picking her up from the police station, no.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27Well, she's up in front of the Board of Education this morning.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29They'll decide if Christine can continue

0:03:29 > 0:03:30to teach in our Local Authority.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Yes. And advise the GTC about striking her off.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36Well, I'm sure Sue's dad will make the right decision about Christine's future.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39But we need to focus on the school.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Poor Christine. - She was drink-driving, Audrey.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44I'll kindly remind you that the police have no evidence.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46She could've killed a kid, right.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Well, she deserves everything she gets.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51- BELL RINGS - Come on, troops. Assembly time.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56I agree with you. About Christine.

0:03:56 > 0:03:57So?

0:03:57 > 0:04:00It's the end of term. Come on, Sue, can we not just clear the air?

0:04:00 > 0:04:02I'm sorry, OK, I'm sorry about Vix.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04Yeah, so am I,

0:04:04 > 0:04:08since now she's moving thousands of miles to get away from you.

0:04:08 > 0:04:12- You what? - She's moving to Berlin. Today. Are you happy now?

0:04:25 > 0:04:26I told you not to come, Connor.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30The sleeper train's no bother. Station showers are minging, though.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32This is the third time you've been up since...

0:04:32 > 0:04:36- Well, I couldn't let you face the council alone.- Who told you...

0:04:36 > 0:04:40Mr Lowsley. And Ms McFall too.

0:04:40 > 0:04:45But everyone's really supportive, Mum, so you're going to be OK.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Mmmm. - Let me drive. Yeah?

0:04:50 > 0:04:52How long you off work?

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Just till tomorrow night.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03Right, you need to get yourself ready and I'll cook us some breakfast.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06- Just something quick. - We've got ages.

0:05:09 > 0:05:10I need to go into school first.

0:05:12 > 0:05:13We could go into town.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15The Anchors, they've got a ramp for your wheelchair.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19- And anyway, you're not hooked up to that bag any more, are you?- No.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24Come on, Kacey. We're going to be late.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28He'll come round.

0:05:28 > 0:05:29PHONE RINGS

0:05:31 > 0:05:32Hello?

0:05:34 > 0:05:36You can't be serious...

0:05:36 > 0:05:41Round of applause for our most vigilant student. Lenny Brown.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:05:47 > 0:05:51Congratulations, Leonard. Well done.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57And now to our academic awards.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59Ms McFall.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Thank you, Mr Lowsley.

0:06:01 > 0:06:08Now the first academic award we are presenting today is the History Cup.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11And this is going to be presented to a pupil who,

0:06:11 > 0:06:15after a shaky start, has really impressed me this term.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19The winner is Gabriella Wark.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22SOME APPLAUSE

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Congratulations, Gabriella. Well done.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Would you like to say a few words?

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Yes, I'd just like to say...

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Our Kacey's going to the Commonwealth Games!

0:06:34 > 0:06:37I'm through to selection. I'm not definitely going.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Yet.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43WILD APPLAUSE

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Right, we're going to look at the role of the Mechanicals

0:06:52 > 0:06:54in A Midsummer's Night's Dream.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Are they just there for light relief?

0:06:56 > 0:07:00So discuss it in your pairs and we'll share in about five minutes.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04I bet Kacey doesn't even get accepted to the Commonwealth Games.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06One word - hermaphrodite.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08What?

0:07:08 > 0:07:09Ladyboy.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Please can I sit with my friends, Miss?

0:07:12 > 0:07:14Yeah, of course.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20I thought I might've heard back by now from the police.

0:07:20 > 0:07:21About my college place.

0:07:21 > 0:07:22You will.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26I've got some good news myself...

0:07:26 > 0:07:30Actually, Imogen, would you mind pairing up with Gabriella, please?

0:07:30 > 0:07:31Do I have to, Miss?

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Gabriella, we've not started yet.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Quite frankly, I don't give a damn about the Mechanicals.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43In fact, I hate them.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54That was well scary, Sir.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Right, Kacey, show us what you can do.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06Check Spider-girl go!

0:08:13 > 0:08:17- Sir, I'm stuck.- Come on, mate. Remember that Resilience Education.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Just reach out for the next hand hold.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21If I can do it, so can you.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24I can't.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26Give me your hand. Trust me.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Nice one, Kace. You're a legend.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Yeah. She is, isn't she?

0:08:33 > 0:08:35Why aren't you in class?

0:08:35 > 0:08:36I'm on a free, Mr Reid.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38What do you think of Kacey?

0:08:38 > 0:08:39She a better climber than you?

0:08:43 > 0:08:44Good job, Kacey!

0:08:44 > 0:08:46CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Are you sure this is a good idea?

0:08:55 > 0:08:57I need to do this.

0:09:00 > 0:09:01Has the police let you go, Miss?

0:09:01 > 0:09:05- Yes, Darren.- So you going to be teaching us, then?

0:09:05 > 0:09:08No. And I probably won't be teaching anywhere again.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11How are things at home?

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Oh, yeah, social come around again.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Said they're putting Mum on, like, a waiting list for a programme.

0:09:18 > 0:09:19- Well, that's good. - S'pose so.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22They say I can stay with her if she gets clean.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24That's what you wanted, isn't it?

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Yeah, course.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Has Mr Lowsley has smoothed it with the other pupils

0:09:28 > 0:09:30and their parents?

0:09:30 > 0:09:33Oh, yeah, he's been good, Miss, helping me out with, you know,

0:09:33 > 0:09:35the dirty pictures and me school work.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39He has your best interests at heart. He won't let you down.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41I'm sorry if I did.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48You should, you should fight them, Miss. For your job.

0:09:51 > 0:09:52It's too late, Darren.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01She ain't supposed to be here.

0:10:01 > 0:10:02I'll put the kettle on.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Audrey.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07Tea. I know, no milk.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20PHONE PINGS

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Mademoiselle Stewart.

0:10:22 > 0:10:23No phones in class.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28Sorry, Sir. Can I be excused?

0:10:28 > 0:10:30It's important.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32PHONE RINGS

0:10:32 > 0:10:33Whose is that?!

0:10:36 > 0:10:38I think it might be you, Sir.

0:10:46 > 0:10:47Hello.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Speaking.

0:10:53 > 0:10:54Er... what problem?

0:10:54 > 0:10:55SCHOOL BELL RINGS

0:10:57 > 0:10:59I thought you were taking your mum to her big meeting.

0:10:59 > 0:11:00I am, but she...

0:11:00 > 0:11:03She's given up.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06She's quit this place and I think she's going to let them strike her off.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09I'm going to move back home. For good.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14I wanted to apologise to you all in writing.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18You didn't need to do this. Christine. Everyone understands.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Do they? Because I don't.

0:11:21 > 0:11:26What I did was inexcusable. Stupid.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30You're going to give 'em what for at the council today, yeah?

0:11:30 > 0:11:33Isn't this too little, too late?

0:11:33 > 0:11:35I wanted to say I'm sorry.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37Look, read the letter, bin it, whatever.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40I let you all down last week. The pupils, parents. Everyone.

0:11:40 > 0:11:41You came into school wasted.

0:11:43 > 0:11:49- Is this really called for? - You have ruined all the hard work you've done here and your career.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Well done(!)

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Hey, babes.

0:11:59 > 0:12:00You said you had good news.

0:12:00 > 0:12:05I did. The London School of Drama's sent me an unconditional offer.

0:12:05 > 0:12:06That is amazing.

0:12:06 > 0:12:10Not when your husband's moving back to Scotland to look after his mum.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12Listen, that shouldn't affect you, right.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Excuse me. You're blocking my way.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Er. Can't you see that Imogen's upset?

0:12:16 > 0:12:18Er... Can't you see that I don't care?

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Oh, you think you're so superior, you, don't you?

0:12:20 > 0:12:23Oh, Dynasty, four-syllable words. Congratulations.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26- Dynasty. Ignore her. - You are nothing.

0:12:26 > 0:12:27You don't know anything about me.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31Yeah, I do. You're a spoilt little brat and no-one likes you.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Right, lads, next group are meeting in the gym.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39So we've got time for a brew.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44Go get it. Go on.

0:12:46 > 0:12:47Kick it back.

0:12:47 > 0:12:48Are you deaf?

0:12:48 > 0:12:52- No. I just don't want to give you your ball back.- Then I'll take it.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Oh, she's not worth it, Kace. Just leave it.

0:12:54 > 0:12:58- You can have your ball back if you win the race.- What race?

0:12:58 > 0:12:59To the top of that.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01Unless you're chicken.

0:13:01 > 0:13:02SCHOOL BELL RINGS

0:13:07 > 0:13:08Come on, you lot.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11Only four more periods, then home for the holidays.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18- You'd better beat her, Kacey. - Course I will.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22Oi, Lenny. What's Little Miss Made in Chelsea doing?

0:13:22 > 0:13:24She's racing Kacey to the top of that wall.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26Sweet.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31If I win, I get my ball.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33If you win, what do you get?

0:13:33 > 0:13:35Prestige.

0:13:35 > 0:13:36Press what?

0:13:38 > 0:13:41You know what, I don't even care about my ball.

0:13:41 > 0:13:42I just want to beat you.

0:13:47 > 0:13:48Go on, Kacey.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50Oh, Gabriella is going to win.

0:13:50 > 0:13:51- Why?- The Duke of Edinburgh!

0:13:53 > 0:13:55THEY CHANT: Kacey! Kacey! Kacey!

0:13:55 > 0:13:59Kacey! Kacey! Kacey! Kacey! Kacey! Kacey!

0:14:03 > 0:14:05Come on, Kacey!

0:14:14 > 0:14:16Hey.

0:14:16 > 0:14:17You shouldn't be up there!

0:14:27 > 0:14:28Darren. Please. Chill out.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32Mrs Mulgrew's a drunk but you're just crap.

0:14:32 > 0:14:33Darren, language.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Christine?

0:14:35 > 0:14:37He's not putting me in for my exams, Miss.

0:14:37 > 0:14:38He thinks I'm thick.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41I am sure Mr Lowsley thinks no such thing.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43You've got another year with us, Darren.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46If you put in the work and if Ed Psych can help with your...

0:14:46 > 0:14:48distractions, you can turn those grades around.

0:14:48 > 0:14:52See, all you have to do is stick at things.

0:14:52 > 0:14:53You can't just give up.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55Isn't that what you're doing, Miss?

0:14:57 > 0:14:59Cooler, now.

0:15:07 > 0:15:08Simon...

0:15:08 > 0:15:10Miss, there's been an accident.

0:15:13 > 0:15:17- My hand!- Lisa, get Mr Reid. Tell him to find the climbing instructors.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20- What happened? - She stamped on me hand.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22I didn't touch her. I don't know why she's saying this.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Cos you did.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26Miss, you believe me?

0:15:30 > 0:15:33Look, just calm down, we need to get you to the hospital, OK?

0:15:33 > 0:15:34Kacey?

0:15:36 > 0:15:37You shouldn't be here, not now.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Mum, come on.- I can handle this.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42It was her - Gabriella.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45- She's lying.- Let's save the finger pointing to later.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48I reckon Gabi did do it. Kacey was well good up there.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50Kacey?

0:15:50 > 0:15:53What have you done to yourself, sweetheart?

0:15:56 > 0:15:58Don't worry, your mum'll look after you.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01What were you two doing up there unsupervised?

0:16:02 > 0:16:04Mum, we'll be late.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Well, there's no concussion.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20The injury to your wrist, however, is concerning.

0:16:20 > 0:16:21You've fractured the navicular bone.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24We need to put your wrist in plaster for 12 weeks.

0:16:25 > 0:16:29Once the cast comes off, we can arrange physio.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31I can't guarantee a full recovery,

0:16:31 > 0:16:34but you'll be back to writing essays before the school year's out.

0:16:34 > 0:16:35She's a boxer.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40Well...with plenty of aftercare...

0:16:40 > 0:16:42- What? On the NHS? - Don't start, Mum.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46Can you just patch me up, please?

0:16:48 > 0:16:51Right. I'll see you later. I'm going to sort this out.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53I'll get the nurse.

0:16:53 > 0:17:01Customer number? Yes, 00756899W.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03Yes, I'd like to talk to someone about my cruise, please.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07Erm, no, cancelling it.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09I didn't hurt Kacey.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13I couldn't do something like that.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15What were you doing on the wall in the first place?

0:17:23 > 0:17:24Go on, Gabi.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28I was showing off.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30I wanted her to like me.

0:17:30 > 0:17:34Well, we all want people to like us, Gabriella. That's natural.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38I'm just sorry that you resorted to something so dangerous.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41I'm going to open an investigation into what happened.

0:17:41 > 0:17:42I expect your full cooperation.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46- I'll do anything.- OK.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50Well, if you're fine to wait here,

0:17:50 > 0:17:52- I'll bring your parents through when they arrive, yeah?- OK.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Sonya, can you fetch Shaznay Montrose,

0:18:05 > 0:18:07Lenny and Lisa Brown, please? I want to hear what they saw.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Yes, Mr Lowsley.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11I've already spoken to them, while you were with Gabi,

0:18:11 > 0:18:13and they didn't see anything.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16It's her word against Kacey's. I'd say it's a foregone conclusion.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18This isn't a witch-hunt, Nikki.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21Gabriella should be reported to the police.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23Sonya, do you have a direct number for them, please?

0:18:23 > 0:18:27Hey, hey, rein it in, all right? You are too close to Kacey.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29Can you just hear yourself defending her, Simon?

0:18:29 > 0:18:31She's a borderline sociopath.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34No, she isn't. She's a kid. An upset kid in our care.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37We should be helping Gabriella, not condemning her.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40Look, I'm head now, all right, and what I say goes, so drop it, OK?

0:18:42 > 0:18:43OK.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48Oh...

0:18:49 > 0:18:52..acting. You're acting head, Simon.

0:18:52 > 0:18:53You should remember that.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58PHONE RINGS

0:18:58 > 0:19:02- Waterloo Road?- I shouldn't have left the wall unattended. - No, you shouldn't have.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04I'm going to be in touch with your boss.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07This is an insurance matter, if not a legal one.

0:19:07 > 0:19:11Gabriella's mum's in the foyer, and apparently she ain't too happy.

0:19:16 > 0:19:17I'm sorry.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21Gabriella is very upset, Mrs Wark.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23We are investigating the accident.

0:19:23 > 0:19:27And I hope to treat it precisely as that - a tragic accident.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30I find that nothing is accidental when it comes to my daughter.

0:19:30 > 0:19:31Mummy, I didn't do anything.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35Is there somewhere else we can go? Sort this out?

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Erm, yeah, OK. Excuse us.

0:19:44 > 0:19:49When I was about seven or eight,

0:19:49 > 0:19:51that's when Mum was really bad.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53There was this pub.

0:19:53 > 0:19:58She'd put me to bed, and then go over and then come home at closing,

0:19:58 > 0:20:02come into my room, and then kiss me on the cheek.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07I'd pretend that I was sleeping.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10I could smell the booze off her.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15It made me feel safe to know that she was home.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18That's so messed up, isn't it?

0:20:20 > 0:20:22If they stop her from teaching, she's got nothing.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28If I'm here, then I can look after her, keep her safe.

0:20:31 > 0:20:32It's not your job.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35- What?- To save her.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42Christine? We're ready for you.

0:20:48 > 0:20:49Second left.

0:20:54 > 0:20:55I hope Kacey's wrist is OK.

0:20:55 > 0:21:00Yeah, it will be. But not in time for the Games.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02What are you going to tell your mum?

0:21:02 > 0:21:04That I have to stay. Look after her.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08And chuck London?

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Imogen was dead upset.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14She's been banging on about this drama course all year.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16What?

0:21:16 > 0:21:19Oh, she didn't say? She got an unconditional offer for London.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22- You can't throw all this away. - Erm, that's rich coming from you.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24You're telling him not to throw his life away,

0:21:24 > 0:21:26you won't get out of this bed.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29- It's different. - How is it different?

0:21:29 > 0:21:31He's throwing his dream job away and trampling on Imogen's.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34And, you, you're just moping around

0:21:34 > 0:21:36cos you're brain's not as boffiny any more.

0:21:38 > 0:21:42Oh, Kace. How is it?

0:21:43 > 0:21:46Oi, you stop these tears.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49You're lucky we're not scraping you off the floor like a blob of jam.

0:21:49 > 0:21:50- Can we go home?- No.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53We're going to sort this out with Gabriella Wark for good.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58And, Connor, you're going to sort yourself out for Imogen's sake.

0:21:58 > 0:21:59And, you...

0:22:01 > 0:22:05..you get your backside in this chair now. Come on.

0:22:06 > 0:22:09BELL RINGS

0:22:12 > 0:22:15Gabriella, I want the truth. Now.

0:22:19 > 0:22:20The Brown twins, have you sent for them?

0:22:20 > 0:22:23- But Nikki said... - I don't care what Nikki said.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25- Oi!- Mrs Barry?

0:22:25 > 0:22:26You finished shouting at her?

0:22:26 > 0:22:30I wasn't shouting. How is Kacey?

0:22:30 > 0:22:32Her future's down the swanny. How do you think?

0:22:32 > 0:22:34- I'm truly sorry... - Have you kicked her out yet?

0:22:34 > 0:22:37We haven't got enough evidence to lay blame on Gabriella.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39What happened was an unfortunate accident.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42Yeah, well, Christine might have been half-cut,

0:22:42 > 0:22:44but she was twice the head that you are.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48So, how much for this to go away?

0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Mrs Wark, can you wait in there? - Is she paying you off?- No!

0:22:51 > 0:22:53- I've seen it all now. - I've no idea what she's doing.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56I'll take Gabriella now, we'll find a new school.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58Mrs Wark, this is completely unethical.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Ten grand. I'll take ten grand for starters.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02That'll stop me going down the cop shop.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04Then we can discuss a settlement for our Kacey.

0:23:04 > 0:23:05And you are?

0:23:05 > 0:23:07I'm your worst nightmare.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09Cheque's payable to Carol Barry.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15- Suddenly, this all makes sense. - Excuse me?

0:23:15 > 0:23:19Did your daughter hurl herself off the wall on purpose?

0:23:19 > 0:23:21- Carol? What have you done? - Are you OK?

0:23:23 > 0:23:25You'll be hearing from my solicitor.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27Yeah, and you'll be hearing from mine.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31Get your hands off me.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Kacey wouldn't make up something like this. So...

0:23:38 > 0:23:41..why don't you admit it? Then we can just move on.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43I've told you.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48Everyone has given you the benefit of the doubt.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50You have been given a stack of second chances

0:23:50 > 0:23:52which you've thrown back in our faces.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57So now it's time to say sorry - sorry to Kacey, sorry to Mr Reid,

0:23:57 > 0:23:59and sorry to me.

0:24:02 > 0:24:05All right. We'll phone the police.

0:24:09 > 0:24:10I'm sorry.

0:24:15 > 0:24:19I'm sorry that your relationship is so flimsy

0:24:19 > 0:24:22that a 17-year-old school girl can destroy it.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27That's what this is about, isn't it?

0:24:29 > 0:24:32- Don't be ridiculous.- You're blaming me for your sad little life

0:24:32 > 0:24:33going off-piste.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40- Shut up.- All I did was tell the truth about you and Mr Reid.

0:24:42 > 0:24:43I said shut up!

0:24:49 > 0:24:50Make me.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56What are you doing? Ow, what are you doing?

0:24:56 > 0:24:58- Ow, what are you doing? - Gabriella, stop it.

0:24:58 > 0:25:02- Get off me. Help, help! - Stop it. Stop!- Ow! Help me!

0:25:05 > 0:25:08I'm hoping you will take my cooperation into consideration.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10Oh, we will.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14However, after this hearing, you may no longer be permitted

0:25:14 > 0:25:16to teach in our authority.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20Now, we'll make our recommendation to the General Teaching Council.

0:25:20 > 0:25:24And then the GTC will decide whether you should be struck off altogether.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28I do understand.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33But I am a good teacher.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36- You were drunk in school. - I lapsed.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39You put our pupils at risk.

0:25:39 > 0:25:40Will you let me speak?

0:25:46 > 0:25:49I have worked hard to make Waterloo Road a school where pupils,

0:25:49 > 0:25:52difficult pupils, get second and third chances.

0:25:54 > 0:25:55I am asking the same of you.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00I have a problem with alcohol, but I am getting help.

0:26:00 > 0:26:03And what I did will never happen again.

0:26:03 > 0:26:08You've been in...recovery before.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12You know I have.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16My addiction and the pressure of being head broke me.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19But that doesn't mean I can't work in a classroom.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21I would love to teach English at Waterloo Road,

0:26:21 > 0:26:22but if that's not possible,

0:26:22 > 0:26:25please let me work in another local authority.

0:26:26 > 0:26:30I think we'll have a few questions first.

0:26:30 > 0:26:31Who'd like to start?

0:26:35 > 0:26:38Yeah, I wanted her to tell the truth, but I didn't touch her.

0:26:38 > 0:26:39I saw you.

0:26:39 > 0:26:42Right, do you really think I'd hurt her?

0:26:44 > 0:26:47I was angry, OK? But Gabriella has set me up.

0:26:47 > 0:26:48Look, I've got Mrs Wark in my office,

0:26:48 > 0:26:51and I'm going to have to explain to her what's happened.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54Yeah, and she knows what she's like, because her daughter has

0:26:54 > 0:26:56caused mayhem at every school she's attended.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59- Right, that's it, take the rest of the day off.- Whoa! No way.

0:26:59 > 0:27:00I'm going to have to formally suspend you

0:27:00 > 0:27:03- pending an investigation. - No, I am not going home.

0:27:03 > 0:27:07Nikki, will you please, for once, do as you're told?

0:27:07 > 0:27:08If I leave, it's an admission of guilt.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11And I didn't touch her. So I am going back to my class,

0:27:11 > 0:27:14and you can get Gabriella to tell you the truth.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16- Nik...- No!

0:27:18 > 0:27:21I've always been the same - get the retaliation in first.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23- I'm so stupid.- No you're not.

0:27:23 > 0:27:26You're the tigress protecting her cub.

0:27:28 > 0:27:33Look, I phoned the cruise company, and we can claim on that insurance.

0:27:33 > 0:27:36So cancelling won't cost us a penny.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39We can stay here, look after Kacey,

0:27:39 > 0:27:42and face whatever the Warks have to throw at us.

0:27:44 > 0:27:45Will you really do that for me?

0:27:47 > 0:27:49Yeah, of course.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51Thing is, if that toff presses charges,

0:27:51 > 0:27:53I'll be taking a holiday of my own...

0:27:53 > 0:27:55at Her Majesty's pleasure.

0:27:55 > 0:27:59I don't think you'll get a custodial sentence for a catfight.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01You do if you've got a bit of previous.

0:28:09 > 0:28:10Oh, what?

0:28:12 > 0:28:14- Sue, have you seen Gabriella Wark? - No.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16Gabriella's claiming that Nikki hit her.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18I walked in on them and I think that...

0:28:18 > 0:28:21- What? That she did it?- Maybe. Gabriella was really upset, Sue.

0:28:21 > 0:28:23I've got Mrs Wark in the office, and I don't think I can...

0:28:23 > 0:28:25Hey, hey, hey.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27What has resilience education taught you this term?

0:28:27 > 0:28:29That anyone can do anything.

0:28:29 > 0:28:32You're acting head. Next term, you'll be head teacher.

0:28:32 > 0:28:35This is your test, Twinkle.

0:28:35 > 0:28:37- You're right.- I always am.

0:28:37 > 0:28:40Look, I've got to go meet Vix for a goodbye lunch.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42But when I get back, I expect smiles, OK?

0:28:42 > 0:28:45OK. Thanks.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48And I will take routine testing

0:28:48 > 0:28:51if that would put the board's mind at rest.

0:28:51 > 0:28:53And who would foot the bill for this testing?

0:28:57 > 0:29:00Well, I think that concludes things.

0:29:02 > 0:29:05- Thank you.- Thank you, Christine.

0:29:06 > 0:29:08We'll confer upon your case

0:29:08 > 0:29:11and make our recommendation to the General Teaching Council.

0:29:11 > 0:29:14Despite your impassioned plea,

0:29:14 > 0:29:17your actions leave us very little room for manoeuvre.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20When will I know?

0:29:20 > 0:29:23Hopefully, before the commencement of next term.

0:29:28 > 0:29:32Well, my mind's made up. This shouldn't take long, should it?

0:29:40 > 0:29:42- Pull your hair back. - What are you doing?

0:29:42 > 0:29:44We need photographic evidence.

0:29:44 > 0:29:47I assume you've suspended Miss Boston?

0:29:47 > 0:29:50- I've asked her to go home. - The other side now.

0:29:50 > 0:29:53But Miss Boston is denying that she struck Gabriella.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55Then why is my daughter bleeding?

0:29:55 > 0:29:58- Mr Lowsley, you saw her attack me. - No, I didn't.

0:29:59 > 0:30:02Gabriella, you weren't bleeding in pastoral care.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04Are you saying that I'm lying?

0:30:07 > 0:30:08I don't know.

0:30:11 > 0:30:13I believe my daughter, Mr Lowsley.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15PHONE RINGS

0:30:16 > 0:30:18Waterloo Road, secretary's office.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21Hi, Sonya, it's Christine. Erm, any news on Kacey Barry?

0:30:21 > 0:30:24She's broken her wrist, but, Christine, it's all kicking off.

0:30:24 > 0:30:26'What?'

0:30:26 > 0:30:28Nikki has hit Gabriella Wark.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30Well, at least that's Gabriella's version of events.

0:30:30 > 0:30:34- Can you get me Audrey or someone? - Just a second, Christine.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36Can I speak to her?

0:30:36 > 0:30:39- Christine, it's Simon. - Simon, are you OK?- Yeah, yeah.

0:30:39 > 0:30:42No, no. Look, I need help with Gabriella.

0:30:42 > 0:30:44She's out of control.

0:30:44 > 0:30:47I've just come out of my hearing, I can't come back to the school.

0:30:47 > 0:30:51- You know what the Warks have been through. They trust you. - It could jeopardise any chance

0:30:51 > 0:30:53I've got of saving my career. Simon, I'm sorry.

0:30:53 > 0:30:55- Mr Lowsley?- Please, Christine.

0:30:57 > 0:30:58Simon?

0:31:03 > 0:31:05You did the right thing -

0:31:05 > 0:31:07going home would have only made you look guilty.

0:31:08 > 0:31:10Well, Simon needs to deal with this now.

0:31:14 > 0:31:16I'll leave you to it, yeah?

0:31:16 > 0:31:18You know what to do, mate.

0:31:22 > 0:31:24Kacey?

0:31:27 > 0:31:30All right, babe? The cast don't look too bad, does it?

0:31:36 > 0:31:37It'll heal. It will.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40I'm going to swing for that Gabriella Wark.

0:31:40 > 0:31:41You might want to think about that.

0:31:45 > 0:31:46- There's something...- I've kind of...

0:31:46 > 0:31:49- something you need to... - ..I need to tell you.

0:31:52 > 0:31:54You should have told me about the college.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56I didn't want to heap more on you.

0:31:58 > 0:32:01Kevin and Dynasty think I should go back to London.

0:32:01 > 0:32:04You'll be down after your exams and then we'll live our lives.

0:32:04 > 0:32:05And what do you think?

0:32:05 > 0:32:09What's the point if I'm going to be worried about my mum?

0:32:10 > 0:32:13I'm staying here. I'll get a job in Greenock.

0:32:13 > 0:32:16But I'm not going to stop you going to that college.

0:32:16 > 0:32:18What do you think?

0:32:20 > 0:32:21Nikki'd never do that.

0:32:21 > 0:32:25Look, don't shoot the messenger. She just flipped out.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28She knows I'm moving to Berlin. She texted this morning.

0:32:28 > 0:32:30That was me. I sort of blurted it out.

0:32:32 > 0:32:34- Who was the kid?- Victoria? I'm home.

0:32:34 > 0:32:37- In here, Dad.- Gabriella Wark.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40- Her again?- Yeah, well, she's ruined Kacey Barry's chances

0:32:40 > 0:32:44- for the Commonwealth Games. - Nikki's Kacey? The boxer?

0:32:44 > 0:32:46Oh! What a morning!

0:32:47 > 0:32:50Well, how did it go with Christine?

0:32:52 > 0:32:54I've got to finish packing.

0:32:54 > 0:32:56I'll leave you two to stir the cauldron.

0:32:58 > 0:33:00Well?

0:33:00 > 0:33:03- Susie, you shouldn't be asking me. - Dad, is she gone?

0:33:03 > 0:33:06I couldn't possibly divulge.

0:33:08 > 0:33:11But you know that bottle of bubbly leftover from my birthday?

0:33:11 > 0:33:15We could share it with Simon at Sunday dinner.

0:33:15 > 0:33:17Vix, did you hear that? Vix?

0:33:17 > 0:33:19DOOR CLOSES

0:33:19 > 0:33:23You can't leave without us getting to the truth of the matter.

0:33:23 > 0:33:26Sadly, the truth of the matter is on my camera phone.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28Gabriella has been injured in your care.

0:33:28 > 0:33:30It's over to the police now.

0:33:30 > 0:33:32Mrs Wark, please let me sort this.

0:33:35 > 0:33:38I think you owe Mr Lowsley another chance.

0:33:38 > 0:33:40God knows, we gave your daughter enough.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53Can you wait outside for a couple of minutes, please?

0:33:55 > 0:33:57I heard you've had a bit of trouble.

0:34:01 > 0:34:04Vix, you're here.

0:34:11 > 0:34:13Look, Sue's told me.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15It's that vicious, little blonde again.

0:34:15 > 0:34:18- Ignore her.- I can't.

0:34:20 > 0:34:22I didn't touch her.

0:34:22 > 0:34:24She's just determined on getting me sacked.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27Don't give her the satisfaction.

0:34:27 > 0:34:29Just walk away.

0:34:33 > 0:34:35I've...

0:34:37 > 0:34:40I've got this really great studio in Berlin.

0:34:43 > 0:34:45It's only got the one bedroom, but I thought...

0:34:48 > 0:34:51- After everything I've done? - I still...

0:34:54 > 0:34:57- ..care. - I don't deserve you.

0:34:59 > 0:35:03You might...might meet someone in Berlin.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05Like, someone better than me.

0:35:05 > 0:35:08Maybe, but...

0:35:08 > 0:35:10Can I borrow you?

0:35:10 > 0:35:13- What are you doing here? - I'm trying to save your job.

0:35:13 > 0:35:15I need to know exactly what happened with Gabriella.

0:35:15 > 0:35:17You don't need to do this.

0:35:17 > 0:35:19If I walk away, she wins.

0:35:21 > 0:35:22Then, we lose.

0:35:34 > 0:35:35In your own time.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40Nikki?

0:35:40 > 0:35:42- Yeah.- Tell me what happened.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50I don't want her in here.

0:35:50 > 0:35:52Does she need to be involved?

0:35:52 > 0:35:57Yes. Gabriella's story jeopardises Miss Boston's future as a teacher.

0:36:03 > 0:36:06We could, and probably should,

0:36:06 > 0:36:08hand this over to the local authority and the police,

0:36:08 > 0:36:11but I think calling them is the last thing any of us need.

0:36:14 > 0:36:16However, it is 20 to three.

0:36:16 > 0:36:18So, when the bell goes for the end of school,

0:36:18 > 0:36:22Mr Lowsley will have to follow procedure and call the police...

0:36:22 > 0:36:24unless we can sort this out now.

0:36:27 > 0:36:31We still on for the pub later? Got my fake ID.

0:36:31 > 0:36:32Don't feel like celebrating any more.

0:36:32 > 0:36:35What? I were well looking forward to it.

0:36:37 > 0:36:42Your mobile playing up? Been texting you to come see me.

0:36:42 > 0:36:44I turned it off in the ambulance.

0:36:44 > 0:36:47Well, I've got news.

0:36:47 > 0:36:49Police college have been in touch.

0:36:49 > 0:36:53- You're in!- No way! - Yes way! Well done.

0:36:53 > 0:36:57Hey, the bizzies want me. They want PC Barry.

0:36:57 > 0:36:59You can nick your mum yourself now!

0:36:59 > 0:37:00That's brilliant, Dynasty.

0:37:00 > 0:37:03And I'm going to apply for a drama course in Glasgow,

0:37:03 > 0:37:04so we won't be far away.

0:37:04 > 0:37:07Connor's got to be here for his mum, so we're both staying.

0:37:07 > 0:37:10Your...your mum all right with that?

0:37:11 > 0:37:13She needs me so...

0:37:16 > 0:37:18- Well done!- Congratulations! - Are you happy?

0:37:18 > 0:37:22So we have two cases of Gabriella's word being called into question.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25First, by Kacey. Secondly, by Miss Boston.

0:37:27 > 0:37:28I'm telling the truth.

0:37:33 > 0:37:34Nobody believes me, do they?

0:37:36 > 0:37:38Mum?

0:37:38 > 0:37:39Mum, I wouldn't, not today.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43- Mum?- Stop it.

0:37:43 > 0:37:45Don't you dare use today against me.

0:37:50 > 0:37:52I believe you, Gabriella.

0:37:56 > 0:38:00It's a bit stuffy in here, don't you think? Fancy a walk?

0:38:09 > 0:38:11Where are we going?

0:38:12 > 0:38:14Just down here.

0:38:14 > 0:38:16I've been round a board table once already today.

0:38:19 > 0:38:20I couldn't stand it again.

0:38:26 > 0:38:28I came here for a fresh start.

0:38:29 > 0:38:31My last school had seen straight through me,

0:38:31 > 0:38:36so I moved somewhere where nobody knew me.

0:38:38 > 0:38:40But, from day one, right there...

0:38:41 > 0:38:43..I started lying.

0:38:46 > 0:38:47Just like you.

0:38:54 > 0:38:55When you lie as much as we do...

0:38:57 > 0:39:00..I think you end up believing them yourself.

0:39:01 > 0:39:04Miss Boston did attack me, and I didn't touch Kacey.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11I'm a drunk, Gabi.

0:39:11 > 0:39:12I'm sure you know that.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16Well, everyone does now.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24When Connor was little, we used to live right by a pub.

0:39:25 > 0:39:28I'd put him to bed, close his curtains.

0:39:31 > 0:39:32I'd sneak out for a drink.

0:39:37 > 0:39:40I'd come home drunk,

0:39:40 > 0:39:42go in and kiss him, and pass out.

0:39:45 > 0:39:47I was sure he didn't know.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53But one night, I came home and...

0:39:55 > 0:39:57..found his curtains open.

0:40:00 > 0:40:02Connor had forgot to shut them.

0:40:04 > 0:40:07My little boy had been sat in the window, waiting for me,

0:40:07 > 0:40:10and now he was pretending to be asleep.

0:40:13 > 0:40:16I went in and kissed him, and then I cried my eyes out.

0:40:18 > 0:40:20That was such a wake-up call.

0:40:20 > 0:40:22I mean, I stayed sober for a year after that.

0:40:25 > 0:40:28Lying to other people is cruel,

0:40:28 > 0:40:30but lying to yourself...

0:40:32 > 0:40:33..is so much worse.

0:40:35 > 0:40:38You're a clever girl who can have a bright future, I'm sure of that,

0:40:38 > 0:40:40but you won't if you can't be honest with yourself.

0:40:42 > 0:40:44I'll get into trouble.

0:40:45 > 0:40:50That's what you wanted, wasn't it? To get into trouble?

0:40:50 > 0:40:52I know you want your parents' attention.

0:40:55 > 0:40:57I heard you say to your mum, "Not today."

0:41:00 > 0:41:01It's her birthday.

0:41:03 > 0:41:06Your sister.

0:41:06 > 0:41:09Daddy always makes sure he's away on business, every year.

0:41:09 > 0:41:11I thought...maybe I could make him come back.

0:41:13 > 0:41:16She would've been 15, if I'd have looked after her.

0:41:18 > 0:41:22I look at Dynasty and Kacey...

0:41:23 > 0:41:26..and I think, "That should've been us."

0:41:26 > 0:41:28Have you said any of this to your parents?

0:41:28 > 0:41:30They wouldn't listen to me.

0:41:32 > 0:41:34They're still hurting over your sister,

0:41:34 > 0:41:37but if you're honest with them, maybe they'll surprise you.

0:41:37 > 0:41:38I've had enough.

0:41:38 > 0:41:40Your father can deal with you tomorrow.

0:41:42 > 0:41:44Gabriella has something to say.

0:41:48 > 0:41:51I need to apologise to Miss Boston and Kacey.

0:41:58 > 0:42:01I think you should go in there and support your daughter.

0:42:06 > 0:42:09I'm sure Florence wouldn't have wanted all this hurt.

0:42:11 > 0:42:12'I'm sorry.'

0:42:13 > 0:42:15Miss Boston didn't touch me.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18I did it to myself.

0:42:19 > 0:42:24Kacey, I hurt you to get attention. Attention from my parents.

0:42:25 > 0:42:28Since my sister died...

0:42:30 > 0:42:32..they haven't...

0:42:34 > 0:42:36Everyone loves you, Kacey.

0:42:37 > 0:42:40I just wish someone felt that way about me.

0:42:43 > 0:42:46I stamped on your hand.

0:42:46 > 0:42:49I shouldn't have and I shouldn't have lied.

0:42:49 > 0:42:52I hope you can both forgive me.

0:42:55 > 0:42:56You're forgiven.

0:42:58 > 0:42:59Hallelujah.

0:42:59 > 0:43:01Now where's that chequebook?

0:43:01 > 0:43:05Carol, I hear that bruise on Mrs Wark's face is your doing?

0:43:05 > 0:43:07Maybe we should leave all this here.

0:43:07 > 0:43:10Kacey's going to need her mum around.

0:43:12 > 0:43:14Let's just drop it, Mum.

0:43:21 > 0:43:24- Shall I leave you two to talk? - (Yes, please.)

0:43:25 > 0:43:27Mum?

0:43:28 > 0:43:29Mrs Wark?

0:43:34 > 0:43:35It'll be OK, Gabi.

0:43:40 > 0:43:42I'm tired of this, Mum.

0:43:44 > 0:43:46Doing things to get you to notice me. Dad, too.

0:43:48 > 0:43:50I want us to be normal.

0:43:53 > 0:43:57What happened to Florence...happened seven years ago.

0:44:00 > 0:44:02Can today be a new start, please?

0:44:05 > 0:44:07Florence is dead.

0:44:07 > 0:44:09I'm alive...

0:44:10 > 0:44:13..and I need my mum and my dad.

0:44:18 > 0:44:20We all want this to end.

0:44:31 > 0:44:33Christine, how did you?

0:44:33 > 0:44:36Erm, threat of violence usually does the trick.

0:44:37 > 0:44:40I just talked to her. She's a kid, not a monster.

0:44:40 > 0:44:41You two couldn't see that.

0:44:41 > 0:44:43You because you were angry about Kacey,

0:44:43 > 0:44:46and you because you were worried about your job.

0:44:46 > 0:44:48Christine, I'm sorry.

0:44:48 > 0:44:51Don't be. Either of you.

0:44:51 > 0:44:53You two are the best teachers I've ever worked with -

0:44:53 > 0:44:56vocational, living for the job.

0:44:56 > 0:44:58I was just glad to get through the day and pick up the paycheck.

0:44:58 > 0:45:00That's not true.

0:45:01 > 0:45:07Erm...I'd like to take back what I said this morning.

0:45:07 > 0:45:08Why? You were right.

0:45:08 > 0:45:12I've shot myself in the foot.

0:45:12 > 0:45:13I'm not even meant to be here.

0:45:15 > 0:45:16What will you do now?

0:45:18 > 0:45:21Go home, get a job.

0:45:21 > 0:45:23I'm thinking barmaid.

0:45:23 > 0:45:25THEY LAUGH

0:45:27 > 0:45:31Sonya, could you get me a cab home, please?

0:45:31 > 0:45:33All right, Audrey?

0:45:33 > 0:45:35Connor's here with the car.

0:45:35 > 0:45:37Oh, good.

0:45:37 > 0:45:41No, Christine, it's...not good.

0:45:43 > 0:45:48Sonya's just heard Connor in the library. He's moving back home.

0:45:50 > 0:45:54He thinks it's his duty to look after his alcoholic mother.

0:45:56 > 0:45:58BELL RINGS

0:45:58 > 0:46:01- Right, that's the end of another term.- Yeah.

0:46:02 > 0:46:05That stuff about the paycheck. That was rubbish, wasn't it?

0:46:05 > 0:46:07Who knows?

0:46:07 > 0:46:11- They can't sack her, Nikki. She saved all our necks today.- Yeah.

0:46:14 > 0:46:17- Do you really live for the job? - Yeah, course.

0:46:17 > 0:46:19Hmm, of course.

0:46:36 > 0:46:39We're letting her be. She's screwed up enough as it is.

0:46:39 > 0:46:42- You're OK though, Kace, yeah? - I suppose.

0:46:42 > 0:46:44Come here.

0:46:46 > 0:46:49And me and George have decided to knock the cruise on the head.

0:46:49 > 0:46:53- I'm going to stay here and look after you.- But, Mum, you've been looking forward to that cruise.

0:46:53 > 0:46:55Yeah, Mum, you deserve it.

0:46:55 > 0:46:58I mean, ten weeks in that outfit, you deserve a medal.

0:46:58 > 0:47:01Your mum couldn't possibly drag herself away.

0:47:01 > 0:47:04- Yeah, I could.- The girls need you, though, Carol.

0:47:04 > 0:47:07- As if.- No, do you know what? The girls are right.

0:47:07 > 0:47:09These past few months have been hell.

0:47:09 > 0:47:12Nothing I'd like more than some sun, sea and...

0:47:12 > 0:47:14a bit of the other.

0:47:14 > 0:47:19The cruise is on. Well, what can I say?

0:47:19 > 0:47:21Right. Come on, girls, time's ticking.

0:47:21 > 0:47:22Get me out this straitjacket.

0:47:27 > 0:47:31Mr Windsor, are you OK?

0:47:31 > 0:47:32Tickety-boo, Imogen.

0:47:41 > 0:47:43Holiday reading?

0:47:43 > 0:47:46No, I've been teaching it all term.

0:47:46 > 0:47:49It's actually the first text I ever taught.

0:47:50 > 0:47:51Pub?

0:47:52 > 0:47:54I don't think so.

0:47:59 > 0:48:02I just wanted to say thank you for being there today.

0:48:02 > 0:48:05- It's all right, Kace. - See you next term then.

0:48:08 > 0:48:10I'm not coming back next term.

0:48:12 > 0:48:13Gabi let you off the hook.

0:48:13 > 0:48:15Yeah, I know.

0:48:15 > 0:48:19But...I think it's time for a fresh adventure.

0:48:19 > 0:48:23You're the only one who gets me...since Mr Clarkson.

0:48:26 > 0:48:28Mr Clarkson would be so proud of you, Kacey.

0:48:28 > 0:48:30I know that because I am.

0:48:33 > 0:48:34I need you.

0:48:36 > 0:48:38You can call me any time.

0:48:38 > 0:48:41And I want a ringside seat for the Games.

0:48:41 > 0:48:44- But I'm not going.- In Rio.

0:48:44 > 0:48:48- The Olympics?- Yeah, you can do it. I'm absolutely sure of it.

0:48:48 > 0:48:49Please don't go.

0:48:49 > 0:48:53Hey, hey, hey. Come on, stop blubbing.

0:48:54 > 0:48:56Aren't you that girl that just got back from Florida?

0:48:56 > 0:48:58Don't you think I want some of the same?

0:48:58 > 0:49:00- You're going to Florida?- No.

0:49:01 > 0:49:03Germany.

0:49:03 > 0:49:04So, you're broke?

0:49:05 > 0:49:07Well, mother, it seems,

0:49:07 > 0:49:09was up to her neck in debt...

0:49:09 > 0:49:11of which I am now the proud owner.

0:49:13 > 0:49:17The cruise was booked on credit, so I am now completely sunk.

0:49:17 > 0:49:21- Tell Carol.- How? - With words.

0:49:22 > 0:49:27Carol may not be my usual choice of woman, but I am very fond of her,

0:49:27 > 0:49:29and if I were to tell her I'm broke,

0:49:29 > 0:49:31she'd probably drop me like a stone.

0:49:34 > 0:49:36Taxi's here, Captain Windsor.

0:49:41 > 0:49:42See you, Christine.

0:49:47 > 0:49:49Try not to throw yourself overboard.

0:49:58 > 0:50:00You just couldn't keep away.

0:50:05 > 0:50:06I called my father-in-law,

0:50:06 > 0:50:09and the council are going to let you teach.

0:50:09 > 0:50:11Isn't that right, Robert?

0:50:11 > 0:50:13It seems that you have a lot of support at Waterloo Road...

0:50:13 > 0:50:16and on the education board.

0:50:16 > 0:50:18You do want to stay, don't you?

0:50:19 > 0:50:21Of course I do.

0:50:21 > 0:50:24The board were very impressed with your performance earlier.

0:50:24 > 0:50:27It seems I was a lone voice.

0:50:27 > 0:50:30You won't be able to hold a position in seniority, of course.

0:50:30 > 0:50:33But we'll see you next term.

0:50:35 > 0:50:38Thank you. Thank you, both of you.

0:50:42 > 0:50:43If she steps out of line,

0:50:43 > 0:50:45then I'll accept full responsibility.

0:50:46 > 0:50:47I'm her head teacher.

0:50:47 > 0:50:50Well, for the rest of the year maybe.

0:50:52 > 0:50:54See you at Sunday dinner, son.

0:51:03 > 0:51:06I can't believe that lot are here. We should've gone somewhere else.

0:51:06 > 0:51:09Ignore them. Today's our last day.

0:51:09 > 0:51:13Next term exams and then we are out of here. Cheers!

0:51:13 > 0:51:16I've told the bar staff which ones are under 18.

0:51:17 > 0:51:18Where's Simon?

0:51:18 > 0:51:21He's speaking with your dad. Said he didn't fancy a pint.

0:51:21 > 0:51:25- That's odd. - Not as odd as Nikki. She's quit.

0:51:25 > 0:51:27Said she's off to Germany.

0:51:27 > 0:51:29What?

0:51:32 > 0:51:34PHONE RINGS

0:51:35 > 0:51:38- Sue?- Vix, where are you? - I'm waiting for my taxi.

0:51:38 > 0:51:40- Just go and get your flight. - I don't understand.

0:51:40 > 0:51:42Just get on the plane. Just don't look back.

0:51:42 > 0:51:44DOORBELL RINGS

0:51:44 > 0:51:46That'll be my taxi. Wait a sec.

0:51:46 > 0:51:48Vix? Vix?

0:51:51 > 0:51:52Nikki?

0:51:55 > 0:51:57I quit.

0:52:00 > 0:52:02Will you have me?

0:52:05 > 0:52:06Yeah.

0:52:06 > 0:52:09Sorry, Sue, we'll send you a postcard.

0:52:10 > 0:52:12Are you sure?

0:52:14 > 0:52:17I promise I will never hurt you again.

0:52:17 > 0:52:19You can't promise that.

0:52:22 > 0:52:26But I reckon what we've got is worth risking a bit of heartache for.

0:52:31 > 0:52:33- I love you. I love you. - Ditto.

0:52:35 > 0:52:36HORN BEEPS

0:52:36 > 0:52:40- That's the cab. You ready? - Wait.

0:52:42 > 0:52:45I was scared of being happy. That's why I slept with Hector.

0:52:45 > 0:52:49- You don't need to explain. - No, no, I do.

0:52:49 > 0:52:53You love me, and I guess I was scared of that.

0:52:53 > 0:52:54And I didn't feel like I deserved it.

0:52:54 > 0:52:57So I did what I always do, and I just pressed the button.

0:52:57 > 0:53:00- I pressed the self-destruct button. - But you were happy?

0:53:00 > 0:53:02Yeah.

0:53:02 > 0:53:06Well, then don't be scared. Be happy.

0:53:07 > 0:53:12You're strong, brave and beautiful.

0:53:13 > 0:53:16And, from today, you're mine.

0:53:21 > 0:53:25PHONE RINGS

0:53:25 > 0:53:27Come on, answer.

0:53:28 > 0:53:30What do you think you are doing?

0:53:30 > 0:53:33Giving Nikki have a happy ending.

0:53:33 > 0:53:36- What, so she can screw up my sister's life?- Really?

0:53:36 > 0:53:38Yes, really. And you're just as bad.

0:53:38 > 0:53:41If it hadn't been for you sticking yourself in where it wasn't wanted,

0:53:41 > 0:53:43Vix and Nikki would still be here.

0:53:43 > 0:53:47Why would I expect an idiot like you to even understand?

0:54:01 > 0:54:03I'll get the drinks in.

0:54:09 > 0:54:12Are you sure you want to do this here?

0:54:12 > 0:54:13Yes, Audrey, I am.

0:54:15 > 0:54:18Right, last one to finish these has to down their bevy.

0:54:18 > 0:54:21Ready? One, two, three.

0:54:23 > 0:54:25Ah, Rhiannon, it's you.

0:54:25 > 0:54:28Down it, down it, down it! Go on, get it down you!

0:54:30 > 0:54:31It's just Vimto, Miss.

0:54:36 > 0:54:39Two tickets for the sleeper train tonight.

0:54:43 > 0:54:47Mum, we're staying. It's fine.

0:54:48 > 0:54:51Connor, I don't want you looking after me.

0:54:55 > 0:54:59And I won't have you both lie about being happy to stay.

0:55:00 > 0:55:03You have lives waiting in London at the restaurant and at college.

0:55:03 > 0:55:05Just go and get them.

0:55:08 > 0:55:09It's OK.

0:55:16 > 0:55:18And what about you?

0:55:18 > 0:55:21Well, I'm, I'm going to be back teaching next term.

0:55:21 > 0:55:24And Audrey has asked me to stay with her.

0:55:25 > 0:55:27I'm going to be keeping my eye on her.

0:55:30 > 0:55:32Apparently, I'll have my own en suite.

0:55:34 > 0:55:38Right, well, the train doesn't leave Glasgow until gone 11,

0:55:38 > 0:55:40so you have a few hours.

0:55:42 > 0:55:44Enjoy your night.

0:55:47 > 0:55:50Oh and, Rhiannon, that is not Vimto.

0:55:50 > 0:55:51Do not kid a kidder.

0:56:00 > 0:56:04Down it, come on! Woo! Cheers!

0:56:04 > 0:56:08Hector, mine is a lime and soda, please.

0:56:10 > 0:56:11Well done, boss.
