All language subtitles for Waterloo Road s03e09

Oh, it feels bone -shaped.

Ha, ha, ha, you bunch of muppets.

Shut it, Seddon. We're doing some
serious work here out with Carla.

In the pre -Cambrian era, this was a
seabed.

Yeah, we're looking for them Perambrian
fingers.

She's making it up as she goes along.
Just because I know some of you don't

prove he's all wrong.

Denise?

Denise? Denise?

Ah, what's this if it isn't interesting?

Well, I promise you it's not the
skeleton of the dodo.

Studying well, Mike, Dave? Well, we know
it can't be pre -cambrian now because

it was only towards the end of the pre
-cambrian period that soft -bodied

organisms without skeletons began to...
Right, stop there.

Stop there, girls. Oh, my God!

I said stop!

Will you stop digging? Get into school.
Now, move. You go.

Saxby, Harrison, indoors now. Quick,
move, or you're on a level three. Shift.

Come on, everyone in.

Come on, quickly.

Local businesses seem to love our
enterprise initiative. Look.

Enterprise?

We've got a school magazine going and
not much else.

There you go again, looking for the
negative.

Well, I'm mean.

Last week, Denise Bright was a
photographer.

Today, she's scrabbling around school
fields looking for fossils.

So what?

She's getting so much out of it.

You're not going to believe this.

Just when I thought she understood

Suddenly last

summer's gone for good

Fantastic.

Right.

We're almost there.

I just want to give it one more push and
that'll be perfect.

I think that was quite good, actually.

Yeah. It was so good, we'd love to hear
it again.

Well, I need to give my voice a rest
from time to time.

I think you're a bit young to worry
about harming your voice.

You could try talking less. That would
help.

Enormously.

Tack or something.

How can we concentrate with this racket?

Just try and shut it out.

Does anyone else find DV teenagers a bit
depressing?

No one knows you'd rather have me do it
than me.

Spot on there.

If you don't take that back, I'm
walking.

Oh, for goodness sake, lighten up,
Alicia.

I mean it.

Brett, could you apologise, please?

You think she's going to walk off this?

No chance.

Dead the door?

Well, we're practicing on that.

Who would bury a baby in a school
playing field?

You haven't been here long, have you?

The police are going to have to find out
who the mother is. It may well be.

One of the girls in this school.

Eddie, can I leave you to tell the staff
that I'm going to stay and wait for the

police?

Eddie?

Yeah, of course.

What are you doing here?

I'm doing my own work for Larkin.

Like, Michael Dawson's got all the right
answers.

Oh, and I suppose you do, right?

Do you try to get into trouble, Dante?

I mean, you're just back from being
excluded.

What's the point?

Use your life, innit?

Do you want a hand from someone who
knows what she's talking about?

You're all right.

Thanks.

It's not often I get home and work.

Because you don't do any.

I can only imagine what the mother of
this baby's going through.

There'd like to be some disruption in
lessons today, so... if it's easier,

forget teaching, OK?

Shouldn't all classes be sent home? I
mean, the kids are going to be really

shocked. We haven't given out enough
notice.

And anyway, the police may want the
pupils to stay on site.

I've never heard anything like it.

It's chilling, isn't it?

It's a bit like the mother is one of her
pupils.

Imagine the desperation.

Why can't our girls just say no?

Maybe she did.

Not every teenage pregnancy's a rape.

Yeah, I know that.

There are other reasons.

Like not every girl knows what she's
doing when she gets pregnant in the

place. They know way too much, young
people these days. They're obsessed with

sex. Bradley.

A mother's lost her baby.

I shouldn't have to be teaching at all
after what I've been through this

morning.

Eddie.

Mr. Meyer, this isn't a massive deal
considering everything that's happened,

I am supposed to be off timetable today
to rehearse for a show.

You're right.

It isn't a massive deal.

Matt.

I'm sorry.

Crack on with the musical.

It'd be good to have some sort of
distraction for today.

It's going to be a difficult day, yeah?

Difficult.

Massive on the statement.

There'll almost certainly be a police
investigation to find out who the mother

is.

But I want you all to be quite clear.

This is not a witch hunt.

If, and I know it's a big if, a girl in
this school is the mother of this baby,

I want her to know she mustn't be afraid
to come forward.

Whoever she is, she must be feeling very
scared and very alone.

I can't emphasize enough, we are here to
help. We're not here to accuse or

punish.

And if any of you have any worries, you
can come and see me, or Mr Lawson, or

Miss Haydock, or any member of staff for
that matter.

Okay?

Do you think someone knew she was
pregnant? I mean, how could she give

there?

She must have known.

You'd know if you were pregnant,
wouldn't you? Well, it happens.

I've been about it loads of times.

You don't think it could have been a
murder, do you?

What do I know, Mum?

There's plenty of reasons why a mother
would want to get rid of a baby.

Yeah, but it depends how old it was,
doesn't it?

I mean, if it were premature, no -one
can help that.

What do you think we are, then? What are
you asking me for?

It's all just thick.

I'm just wondering, that's all.

As they say, it's hard to tell.

Looks like the remains have been there
for a while.

Oh, God, the poor little thing. How do
you think it died?

We won't know the cause of death until
forensics get back with a report.

Any idea when?

Soon. If we have no luck, we'll have to
do DNA sampling.

You may find you get breast cancer.

Carla.

Carla. Carla.

It's okay.

Is it because of the police?

They've just come to look at the bones
that you and Janice found.

They're here to help.

I'm going to get you medication.

Stay calm and think clearly.

What would you like to do now?

Right now, I would like to look for pre
-cambrian fossils.

Well, I'm sorry, but that's not going to
be possible.

Why not? Why not? Carla, that's enough.
Enough of what?

Take these.

No.

Carla, I won't tell you again. Take
them. You said you wouldn't tell me

You're a liar.

Just give me the flaming things.

Who would you like to give you
medication?

Mr Budgin or me?

You miss.

You've got nothing to budge in.

No.

No, Miss, you... You've

nearly

lost it there.

Which is why training's so important.

We don't want to go pointing any
fingers, but if you could draw up a list

vulnerable girls, anyone who's been
pregnant in the past, anyone in care,

child you suspect might be the victim of
sexual abuse.

Oh, and could you ask the school health
visitor who's had the morning after pill

recently? I could give you a list of 20
right now. I do hope you're not going to

stigmatise Waterloo Road.

It could be anyone around here, but the
grounds are hardly secure.

It could be anyone in Britain, but with
these kind of crimes, if... if it is a

crime.

They're usually committed by young girls
who don't travel very far from home to

do it. Well, let's not jump to
conclusions about the girls in the

So if you can help Detective Mellor with
the initial inquiry, Steph?

Yeah, I'm on the case.

Um,

bad news, I'm afraid.

I've got to go.

What, now?

Yeah.

Rachel really wants... Great.

Some things are actually more important
than musicals, Alicia.

Yeah, well, maybe we should have a break
for a bit.

I know it's hard, Brett, but if we could
try, we've only got a week, please.

Hi, Francine.

Detective Mellor, this is Francine Bean.

Miss, what have I done?

Absolutely nothing.

I'm sure it's not a secret to you,
Francine, that the remains of a baby

been found here today.

Francine, have you ever been pregnant?

Pregnant?

No, I've not even... It's not a crime,
love.

It does happen to a lot of young girls.
It's just that we know that you have

been going out with a much older lad for
a long time now. Yeah.

But that doesn't mean that I've been...
Go on.

Well, it doesn't mean that I've been
with him.

I know it's embarrassing, but I don't
want to sleep with boys.

Not yet.

Oi, none of this embarrassing.

You should be proud of yourself.

But he chucked me because of it. Well,
then you're better off without him,

aren't you?

But I loved him.

Anyway, thank you for your cooperation,
Francine. You can go.

And you stick to your principles vis -à
-vis boys.

You and me both, eh?

I think that's one we can take off the
lift.

You all right, Davina?

Yeah.

Oh, let me guess.

Grantley's year tens.

The usual fun stuff, I suppose.

Not quite.

Write a character description of Oliver,
paying particular attention to his

relationship to the artful Dodger. Yeah,
that's about it.

Hey, um, tell me to sod off, but are you
all right?

Have you got a class?

Well, if there's something wrong with
you, they can wait.

OK, well, the truth is, I think I'm
floundering a bit with Carla.

What?

No, you're great with her.

No -one else can do what you do.

Yeah, and all the textbook stuff.

But I can't help getting emotionally
involved.

I know it's stupid, but when she doesn't
respond to me, I feel hurt.

Single -handedly, you've helped a girl
with Asperger's settle down in this

school. God knows, it's hard enough for
the mainstream kids.

You're bound to get upset from time to
time.

It's only natural.

I feel myself filling up with Chloe
Meeker. Don't say good morning.

Do you be watching too much Trisha or
something?

Thanks, Tom.

I mean it.

Glad to be of service.

Any time.

Back to me class, eh?

Yeah. I'll see you later.

See you.

Why have you asked to see me?

Rhiannon Sedgwick.

Not one of our most cooperative pupils.

Sit down, please, Rhiannon.

We're going to be speaking to everyone.

Girls and boys. But I haven't... I never
had anything to do with that baby.

We do know that you have asked for the
morning -after pill in the past,

Rhiannon. Oh.

Would you ever be prepared to take a
little swab test to establish who is or

isn't the mother?

It's not like we're asking you to do
anything we're not going to ask the

girls. I don't get why you're picking on
me.

You're going to set me up, aren't you?

Make it look like it's mine. Oh, don't
be so silly.

Use it to blame me.

I'm sick of this school.

Everyone's got it in for me. She puts me
in the cooler because she can't control

the class. Hey, come on now, Rhiannon.
She does.

I think we should leave it there.

A wee bit touchy, don't you think?

I've hardly found my way around a school
now.

Rachel. Yes? There's a whole load of
journalists here. Oh, God.

Eddie, can you deal with the press? Hey,
it's your job.

I know, but in this situation, I think
it's important the girls have a woman

they can talk to, and, you know, I'd
like to be here for them. Oh, yeah,

right, because us men are crap at all
that sensitive stuff, eh?

Listen, today of all days, you and I
need to work as a team.

Yeah, I know.

Just being an awkward sod.

I think you've got a heart of gold.

Hey, sir.

Look, done my own work.

Look, you're going to have to get on
with your work on your own today.

The answer to your homework's on the
worksheets on my desk, but you tell any

your mates.

Brilliant. First time to get my own work
done. The guy don't want to see it.

Maybe you should start doing it
yourself.

Instead of mucking about all the time.

And what do you want to be when you grow
up? A teacher?

Yes.

You?

No idea.

I'll probably end up jamming a taxi
somewhere, like my dad.

For the rest of your life?

I suppose so, yeah.

Wouldn't surprise me if I didn't develop
post -traumatic stress disorder.

No, I'm... I'm...

Not up for teaching today.

For obvious reasons.

I'm sure that most of you aren't up for
learning. So, just do your own thing.

Look, I can't help noticing.

You know, since the find, we've been
dead quiet.

Do you want to talk about it?

If you know anything, you should tell
the police.

I just want to be left alone.

That's all right.

Did you think me friends would look that
bullied this morning?

Everybody did.

It's great to see you not testing,
innit? I mean, you're going to be able

find them all dead easier.

We can't make you take a test if you
don't want to. Yeah, they can.

It helps with the police inquiries. The
police can force you to do anything.

I think it would be good if you made
every single woman on this estate take a

test.

I'd volunteer.

What about you?

I don't know, but I can find out loads
about you without a test, like have you

done drugs and that. You've been clean
for ages, haven't you?

Sometimes you can stay in your blood for
years. Yeah, right.

Anyway, I wish you'd never even started
this stupid dig. None of this would have

happened if you hadn't.

Miss Shackleton isn't happy with me.

She was doing this.

She wasn't even sorry you had to stop
your prehistoric dig.

It's a shame, that.

Isn't it, Alicia?

You should be out looking for
Tyrannosaurus rex or something.

If I were you, I'd start a petition.
Take it round the whole school.

What happens with a petition?

You get signatures of everyone in
school, present it to Miss Mason.

Shows how angry everyone is.

We could do it now.

That's a great idea.

Grantley, you were Rhiannon Sedgwick's
form tutor last year, weren't you?

Rhiannon Sedgwick?

How could I forget?

Trouble?

Just about the gobbiest kid I've ever
taught.

I'd run in after run in with her last
year. The parents never... Well, our

Rhiannon wouldn't do this, our Rhiannon
wouldn't do that. I was not displeased

when she took a long break.

A break?

Can you remember for how long?

Two.

Maybe three months.

Mercifully. Parents said that she was
bothered with nerves.

Sadly, she had a doctor's note to prove
it.

Thanks.

We, the undersigned, are outraged that
the mere discovery of a dead baby has

stopped a phenomenally important
archaeological excavation in the grounds

Walsall Road.

We demand that the site be reopened at
lunchtime so that the search for

prehistoric monster bones may continue.

We'll get the signatures of every girl
and boy in the school, not forgetting

teachers.

If we take 12 petitions each and get 20
signatures per sheet, that will mean 240

signatures each. That's 720 in one
lunchtime.

I can't help you get a signature, so
I've got music rehearsal.

And, um, yeah, I've got school council.

It's like you're going to have to do it
yourself, Carla.

Sorry.

One of the journalists wanted to
photograph the sight. Could have slapped

They're obviously desperate to find the
mother.

Probably make her a big cash -hopper for
her story and then subtly accuse her of

murder.

Um, can I have a word?

I think we might have found our girl.

Who? Rhiannon Sedgwick.

I've just got a feeling about her in me
water. She's very troubled.

OK, well, I'll talk to her.

But the thing is, when you try and
communicate with her, she just clams up.

Well, if there's anything in it, we have
to talk to the parents.

You've got enough to do. I'll get the
numbers off from Bridget.

You OK?

Yeah,

fine.

Oh, Eddie, thank you for dealing with
the press.

No problem.

Is this some kind of sick joke?

A joke can't be sick. It's either funny
or it isn't funny.

Yeah, well, this is well out of order.

Mika!

What the hell's going on?

Have you seen that?

Hey, don't need to go over the top.

It's Carla.

She doesn't exactly do things by the
book, does she?

Yeah, well, that's just sick.

She's got a divergence, Mika.

It's not like you to be so intolerant.
Oh, don't you lecture me.

What's all this about?

Nothing. Look, I know you well enough to
know it's not nothing.

Please, tell me.

I can't.

No matter what I've done, I still care
about you.

I'm pregnant.

Go ahead.

I just thought you looked a bit lonely,
that's all.

Well, you're one to talk.

Eh?

Everyone's so used to seeing you with
clothes.

Yeah, well, that's well over now.

Do you miss her?

Yeah, of course.

We've been together for ages, though,
haven't we?

Stacking me over, though.

That's all I saw.

It's okay,

Carla. You're not having a good day
today, are you?

All your fault, all your fault, all your
fault. You know, we've got three more

VIPs coming to see the musical.

Well, that can't be my plan of seats for
12 VIPs. You're going to have to change

it. I don't want to change it. Well,
you've got to, because there's nobody

in the school who can.

What's this?

Well, they can't sit on the front row
because of the fire regulations, and we

can't add any seats to rows two and
three. The new VIPs will just have to

the back row.

Excellent.

I knew you'd work it out.

Carla, there's a lot of words in this
petition that I've never heard you use.

It's because they're not my words.

Alicia and Danielle wrote it for me.
They're journalists. They know how.

Oh, they know.

You couldn't help me with my English
essay, could you?

Of course.

No problem.

My spelling is crap.

You can always learn to make it better.

No, it's just a matter of trying.

Look. You can't always be as clever as
me.

Oh, yeah, cos you've got it all, haven't
you? The brains, good luck,

but you're bigger.

You're embarrassing me.

Oh.

How about now, then?

Oh, is it because maybe you fancy me?

I don't know.

I don't really know you that well.

Well, why don't we go outside then?

Maybe that would help.

It's humiliating us.

This is bullying.

Pure and simple.

I'm clever, but it's bullying just the
same.

It's kind of hard to say why, though,
isn't it?

They know why.

So do I.

Let me do what they say.

Remember to smile, please.

Okay, good.

If Brett doesn't turn up in the next
minute, I'm leaving.

Good.

Do you have pain in the neck?

Yeah, and you're putting us all off.

You, outside now.

Do you want me to drag you out by the
collar?

Right.

Partly through there.

Carla's position.

Can you point out the bit that Carla
wrote?

Well?

She was only helping us. She was getting
upset because the dig was stopped.

Oh, yeah, that's right, yeah.

That dead baby thing kind of got in the
way of it, didn't it?

That's what she thought.

I know that's what Carla thought, but
she's got a neurobiological disorder.

What's your excuse?

Nothing, sir.

No excuse.

You two are the authors of this.

And you wrote it for what?

Yeah, we were just having a laugh.

At Carla?

She is funny.

It'd be funnier if we put her in a cage
and poke her with a stick.

But why not?

She's a freak, isn't she?

We wouldn't want to hurt her. She
doesn't realise.

And that's why what you did... Oh.

It's so nauseating.

Sorry, sir. Yeah, you will be.

Because you're off the school council as
of now.

And you don't think you're representing
this school in a musical.

Please, sir, don't take me out on
musicals. Consider yourself lucky it's

lot worth.

And from now on, keep away from Carla.

Come on.

There's no way Mr.

Wilding's going to let Lawson get you
dropped.

No way.

The whole school is dependent on you.

I promise.

You'll be fine.

You need to listen to me, Mika.

We can sort this.

Oh, don't come over all fake concern,
Brett. It makes me want to puke. If it's

my baby, I want to take responsibility
for it. Do you really think I'd want to

keep your baby?

We need to talk about it. I wanted to
talk, Brett.

I wanted you to be there for me so we
could discuss everything.

But where were you?

Off. Screaming clothes, that's where.
I've said I'm sorry about that, but I'm

here for you now, OK?

It's too late for talking now.

Are you sure?

I'm pregnant.

We'd bring it up together.

But you were off your head.

The only other alternative... Yeah, an
abortion.

I know.

She must have felt that. Crap, eh?

Mother.

Have you felt anything?

Sorry.

She might have been a junkie, might she?

Out of her faith on booze and drugs
living room.

My nana's coming all the way from
Charlie just to see me.

You should have thought about that
before you bullied Carla.

So we know now.

What's going to happen now, then?

No one else can do it like I do it.

Don't for a second think that you're
indispensable, Alicia, because you're

There's plenty of other girls that can
think just as well as you can.

Get on the side, the pair of you.

Go!

I think I know who the baby is.

I don't think you do, Janice.

It's Maxine's.

It can't be.

She would have told me. You know how
close we are. She's my best mate and

She never told me.

She's admitted it.

Maxine, Janice told me.

True.

With my baby.

Might as well just turn around and walk
away.

I'm not going to walk away.

But I am going to ask you why you didn't
tell me.

Because I nearly accused another girl of
being the mother. It was me, okay? I

buried that baby.

But why?

Does it matter why?

I was out of my mind on drugs.

Am I murdering a good dad?

I knew I was pregnant. I just kept
hiding it from myself, hoping it would

away.

I was living in the car, just getting
wasted all the time, trying to block it

out.

Then I felt the baby coming.

I ran to the school hoping to get Stacey
or Denise.

But by the time I got there, the bell
had gone and there was no one around.

It was dark.

Then it came out.

Just lying there.

Didn't breathe or cry or nothing.

I suppose when you've been in the job as
long as I have, you get a feeling about

people.

If I said the word craft to you... Yeah,
that just about sums our stuff up, I

think.

Oh, my God, she's going to be contacting
me, Alan's parents.

Um, can you just give me a minute?

Um... I think I got the wrong girl.

Bridget, can you get Mr Lawson up here,
please?

I wanted to be mine so much.

I never had anything of my own, you
know, that I could take care of.

Maxine, you've been very brave.

And if you can cope with it, I want you
to be even more brave.

I think that the girls in this school
need to know your story.

You have absolutely nothing to be
ashamed of, Maxine.

Max, you don't want anyone else to go
through what you did, do you?

Hey. What's up?

Oh.

I just can't cope with this.

Really? Why?

It's nothing, really.

Wait a minute. What?

It just reminds me how much I miss my
son.

Eddie. I've got a report to write,
Rachel.

Am I going to get into trouble, miss?

What for?

The police are here to help, Maxine.

You can always talk to one of us.

No one's going to accuse you of being a
criminal when you're not.

Come on.

I'll see you later, Steph.

She's never had a proper burial.

She'll be all right. She won't be in
limbo or nothing.

Limbo?

Oh, Max, that's a load of rubbish.

If there is a God or a justice or
whatever, they're not going to take it

a poor, helpless little baby.

Anyway, we can't keep saying baby. What
would you have called her?

Charlotte.

Charlotte.

That's nice.

You know, there's a rose with that name.

Oh, Max, I feel terrible.

I'm not being cheeky or anything, but do
you know who the dad is?

I can't tell him. I'm going mad. He'll
hate me.

He's got a right to know, Max.

Surely you've learnt that much today.

Max, he's going to find out anyway.

Please, I can't.

One of the worst cases of bullying I
have ever come across.

Can we talk?

Look, I might have gone over the top a
bit. What if we actually have to cancel

the musical?

Well, if it gets the message through,
good.

Right, thanks for supporting that. I
appreciate it.

Eddie, I didn't know that you were a
father.

Well, I didn't tell you. How could you
know?

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

Who's there?

I'm the father of twins.

Only one died.

Caught death.

Sudden infant death syndrome.

SIDS.

Stupid name.

I can't imagine anything more
devastating.

We did everything right.

Put them to bed one night, then the next
morning.

Harlequin couldn't handle it. She blamed
herself.

She blamed me.

And she got herself a new boyfriend.

That sounds like a way of coping to me.

Well, whatever it was, I was barred.

Whenever I went round, there was a
massive row. She said, it's not good for

son.

I just... I just wanted to see him.

It's Michael.

That was Stephen.

And how old is Michael now?

Three and a half.

You know, Eddie, I might sound like an
amateur psychologist, but one thing I do

understand is how important it is for a
child to feel loved by their parents.

See, I never felt that, and it still
hurts after all this time.

Hi.

Sorry to interrupt, but we found out who
the dad is.

Lewis Seddon.

I don't think she wants to tell him
herself. He's terrified of what his

will be.

I mean, do you think he does need to
know?

Of course he does.

Well, I don't want to tell him.

He's... Well, we all know what Seddon's
like.

Yeah, it's amazing what we just discover
about people's capabilities.

Do you volunteer anything?

Yeah.

What are you moving for?

I'm still laughing because I'm not
allowed to be friends anymore.

But I want you to be my friend.

I'm sorry, Carla, but... That's what I
said.

Why?

Go and ask her.

Miss, Alicia and Danielle said that...
Mr Lawson said that they couldn't be my

friends anymore.

Why?

Because they were trying to make people
laugh at you.

But I don't mind if I make people laugh.

Yeah, but it's... It's not like making
people laugh because you've told a funny

joke.

If they can't be my friends anymore, I
won't have anyone to be with.

Well, you make me friends.

I want to be your friend.

Why?

I like you very much.

And I want you to like me.

Can I have a moment in?

You and Dante look quite friendly this
lunchtime.

Just ask me out, Chloe.

I hope you don't mind.

Why would I mind?

Maybe that choked him, innit?

Yeah. I suppose.

I don't know why.

Well, it just happened, didn't it?

But you're married and everything.

Why are you still wearing it?

Oh, excuse me.

Louis,

Miss Adox asked me to have a word.

All right.

Look, I'll cut the knife. There's no
easy way of saying this.

That baby we found this morning,

We know where the mother is.

Good.

I hope they lock her up.

Of course they're not going to lock her
up. Why do you say that?

Well, it's murder, isn't it?

The baby's mother.

It's Maxine.

You don't think she's capable of murder,
do you?

It's Max and his baby.

It's blaming Al.

That means... So you know where this is
leading, then, eh?

Lewis has got something to say to you,
Maxine.

You should have told me, Max.

I was worried I'd react.

Like what?

I don't know.

Lewis, I'm sorry.

I know you've done nothing wrong.

I would have looked after it, Maxine.

You're a dad.

Most lads want to be dads.

Don't they, Mr Larson?

Yeah, but you, Lewis, you're always
going out with your mates, drinking and

that.

I mean, having a baby, it's like... Oh,
you have to come home every night and

feed it and nurse it and put it to bed.

You can't just row all the time and walk
out.

You tell me you'd have done all that.

It's my fault this happened, isn't it?
I'm not saying that, Lewis.

It is.

I'd be a crap dad because I'm a crap
bloke.

I'm not saying that.

Because you're a logistic. The job and
stuff and the blasting around.

You would have trusted me enough to tell
me.

It's because of me our baby died.

I know that we learn stuff in PhD about
taking precautions.

Let your body in.

But it doesn't always feel real.

You just think, I'll be alright. It
happens to other girls.

All I had to do was tell someone.

A teacher or a doctor or something.

But I kept it to myself.

that me.

Maybe my baby died for nothing.

Today's been a difficult day for
everyone.

What it's highlighted for me is the need
we have to provide better sexual

education for the pupil in the school.

I don't want other girls to go through
what Maxine did.

So, at the end of today, you'll receive
a letter informing the people who look

after you that I shall be liaising with
the NHS to set up a sexual health clinic

at Waterloo Road.

OK.

Can we go into the room right now and
buy a pregnancy test? Oui.

You need to know either way, don't you?
And so do I.

Look, can we just leave it? Let me think
things through.

Do you want to end up like Maxine?

Having your choices made for you?

Okay.

But I don't want you pressurising me
into anything.

I know if I am, then it's yours too,
but... You

don't like me and you don't want to be
carrying my baby.

Well, even if you don't like the dad, it
doesn't change anything.

You're either pregnant or you're not.

We need to find out which.

I'm sorry, Max.

Rhiannon, will you accept my apology?

What for?

Because I jumped to conclusions, that's
what's more.

Miss, it's only just luck I'm not
pregnant.

Thanks.

All right? Yes. See you later. See you
later.

Steph, can I have a word?

Mm -hmm.

See, honey, isn't that only going to
encourage a kiss with your parents?

Well, some kids are going to experiment
with sex, whatever happens. There's

nothing new in that.

Shouldn't we leave that up to the
parents to guide their children?

Jasmine, did you talk to your mum and
dad?

Well, that's you and Maxine both, eh?

But I know what she did was wrong, OK?

But I honestly think that she didn't
understand the seriousness of what she

doing. She deliberately made a
laughingstock out of a vulnerable pupil.

I'm not defending her, but does it have
to be this way?

We can't allow her to continue in a
project that she enjoys and that makes

the centre of attention.

What message does that give out to the
rest of the school?

What sort of message does it give to the
kids who work so hard on the show?

Not to mention me and Steph.

Matt, I know a parkside story is really
important to the school. It's just, at

the moment, it's not my number one
priority.

Fine.

Surely you must have understudies. Yep.

There's Janice. Great. Till she opens
her mouth.

How about asking Mika to reconsider?

I'm not going to let this show die.

After the hard sell I've done to the
board.

What if it is positive?

How am I going to tell Tom?

Another whole heap of trouble.

Whatever I decide to do.

Come on, I'll wait for you outside.

Hey.

You feeling any better?

Yeah. After what happened today, it just
made me realise so much.

Tom, I'm so sorry for banging on about
me, Tom.

After everything you've been through
with Izzy and...

Well, we both have to move on, don't we?

Yes, pal.

Are you doing anything special tonight?

Reading up on kids with Asperger's.

Well, we're going to go for a curry if
you fancy joining us.

We? Yeah, make a long make -up.

Thanks, but I shouldn't.

I mean it.

I've got a lot to learn.

I'll see you tomorrow, then.

See you.

Well?

Negative.

That's great.

Look, no one needs to know about this,
okay?

No, don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

Sorry, I... I guess part of me wanted
you to be pregnant.

Hey.

Why? Just because I... Just because I
wanted... Well, this isn't about you,

Brett.

Tom?

Mika.

Do you know where she is in her head
right now? You know, all the hassles

Brett. I think she's getting over him.

Slowly. Good.

Can you ever talk to her about the
musical?

Starting with Aspinall, I doubt it. She
is our only option, so... Well, a good

try, I suppose.

I need it to succeed, Tom.

Even if we have to pay her anything.

Yeah? All right.

Thank you.

It's your ex -wife's number.

I know it.

So what?

Well, one little call won't hurt.

I don't want it interfering in my life,
Rachel.

I've seen so much misery today, and
you've got a child.

Yeah, OK.

But there's the added problem with my ex
-wife.

You don't know her.

Eddie, do you fancy a drink?

Only if it's mind -numbingly alcoholic.

You're on.

OK.

Alicia, hello, Danielle.

Hi, Carla.

I'm getting my mum up.

Do you want to tell her you've been done
for bullying? I wasn't bullying.

Alicia, we made a fool of Carla.

We wound her up since day one.

It was bullying.

It's not you who's lost the lead part in
the musical.

Yeah, well, maybe you deserved it.

Oh, I'll see you later, yeah?

Thank you for stabbing.

Brilliant.

You all right, Chloe?

Thought it might be nice to plant it to
remember your daughter.

Hello, my poor miss.

Louis.

Why don't I leave you two alone, eh?

Steph gave it me because it's called
Charlotte.

And that's what I call the baby.

I see.

I thought it was a girl.

She was beautiful.

I've been thinking.

that I've got this other job.

I've got to put money aside.

And maybe have another.

Another baby.

Although this was essential, I think,
after the day we've had today.

It's good to talk, eh?

To you, yeah.

Not to the ex -wife.

Ex is the word.

And believe me, I'm very happy about
that.

Yeah, but you're not happy without your
son, are you?

Wouldn't you be much happier if you
could see Michael?

I think you're letting the pain you feel
push people out. I've said all I'm

going to say on the subject.

The last thing I need right now, Rachel,
is for you to point out my faults. Go

on, just call her. What harm will it do?

Any more of this, we're going to end up
falling out.

Hi, is that Alison Lawton?
