Leoni's my niece. I'm in care
because there was a fire.

Leoni, stop! And Agnes said I
started it but wasn't me.

The Academy Trust runs
a management training scheme.

It's a chance for you to
increase your skillset.

You find out where your talents lie,

and then you'll bring back what
you've learned to Waterloo Road.

Any word from the trust
about my contract?

I've been staying in a hotel.

We're going to need payment
by the end of the day, in full.

ENGINE STARTS, TYRES SCREECH

Maybe if you got a decent job,

you could afford a roof
over your own head.

Hey, Chlo. Chlo? Mum?

Izzy, call an ambulance!

I want mum!
IZZY SOBS

Dad, what will we do?
Mum did everything for us.

How have you got a son that's
practically my age?

If you do come home,
I want Ashton there too.

CLATTER
Eyes, use them!

Iz, come on. No!

ALARM CLOCK BEEPS

Tommy, Ashton.
Come on, let's go.

I'd rather reset

I'd be somewhere else

Iz?

Hey. Hey, darling, come on now.
Wake up.

Izzy, come on, get up.
Good girl.

Boys? Tommy, Ashton.
You're going to be late for school.

guys who've got the time for it

PHONE RINGS

RINGING STOPS

DOOR OPENS, SCREAM

I wasn't perving on you, I promise!

There's no-one ever
usually in here.

Yeah, well, I jogged
in this morning.

I thought I could have
a shower in peace.

You're always in earlier than
everyone else these days.

Well, you know what to say about the
early bird and the worm, don't you?

I'd rather stay in bed, I think.

You can keep your worm.

The early worm, not any other worm.

Yeah. Do you mind?

Yeah.

And in future, knock.

SHE SNIGGERS

Seriously, Tommy, you came home
with two shoes last night.

How have you managed to lose one?
I don't know.

Where's my passport?
It's not here.

I don't know. Try, uh...
Try the drawer in the hallway.

And see if Tommy's shoe's in there.

I've looked everywhere else.

Oh, it's not there! I need it!

What did you need a passport for?

I told you last night.

Lois and Aleena needed someone to
take over Stacey's

place on a trip to Ibiza. Hold on,
I never said that you could go.

Oh, must be desperate if they're
inviting you clubbing in Ibiza.

Hey, listen,
nobody's going club in Ibiza.

You're 16-years-old.

If you want to go away, you can ask
Tonya to go to Wales this summer.

Dad, come on,
we're going to be late.

Tonya's always too busy with Ashton!

And Portia and Shola are too
busy doing their own thing.

OK, well, what about Cat?

You seem to get on well with her.

She hates me.
I wonder why.

Oh, shut up!

Oi!

You're a headcase, man!

Pack it in, the both of you.

I just cleared up the last
thing you smashed.

Hiya. Give me a bite of that.

What are you doing here? I thought
we were meeting at the corner.

I thought it'd come to you,
since you kept me waiting - again.

All right, get in.

Wouldn't want to make sure you
were late for school.

Very funny.
Agnes, have you forgotten this?

Oh, no. No, I don't need it,
and I'm running late.

Who's your friend?

Schuey.
I have told you about him.

Aren't you going to introduce...?
No.

Got to go, sorry.

Bye.

Um...

What were that all about?
Does she not know who I am?

Yeah. Yeah, she just can never
remember any of my friends.

Friends? We're together.

I know we've not, like, met properly
yet, but she does know that, right?

Course she does.

Schuey, I talk about you
all the time.

Mostly how much you wind me up.

SCHUEY LAUGHS

I just wanted some friends.

Yeah, I get that, Iz.

But I'm not letting you go to
Ibiza on your own.

You let Ashton go visit
Dwayne, though.

Yeah, to Newcastle.

But you can't keep
reacting like this,

just because you don't get
your own way. Sorry.

Just upset, I guess.

Look, Iz, that is
the last thing that I want.

Look, fine, fine.

I will talk to Lois
and Aleena about the holiday,

see what the situation is.

But this can't happen again,
all right? Come on, Tommy. Let's go.

It won't, I promise. Thanks.

I'll see you later.

Ashton, see you later, mate.
See you later.

Hey, he hasn't said yes yet.

He will.

SHE SPITS

That is disgusting.

You going to a funeral or something?

I was going for
a professional, actually.

First day in my new role.

No messing about from now on,
I mean it.

I need to set a good example
while I'm on this placement.

I'm really nervous.

Well, I set a very good example
to your Tonya while you were away.

Any bad habits she's picked up
have not been from me.

Yeah, I know.
Thank you for stepping in.

Couldn't have done any of this
without you, could I?

I know.

So you can reward me
with all the staffroom gossip.

I don't think there is much,
to be honest. Are you joking?

That Jack Rimmer smacked
Darius at the end of last term.

And apparently, Joe Casey was
seeing him behind Mike's back.

What? He never said.

I overheard Joe telling
Val that they got caught snogging

in a cupboard, and apparently
there was a baguette involved.

MITCH CLEARS HIS THROAT

Hiya, Mitch, you all right?

We were just talking about...

Sandwiches.
Yeah. Right.

And there's me thinking you'd left
the canteen behind.

I just came to say welcome, and I
can show you to the inclusion unit.

Oh, it's all right.
I know where it is.

Can't wait to get started!

OK, great.

Hey. You all right, girls?
Can I have a quick word?

Whatever it is, we haven't done it.

No, it's just Izzy mentioned
something

about going on holiday
with you.

Oh, we weren't sure
if she's being serious.

Oh, no, no,
she's definitely being serious.

It's just I've got
a few questions for you.

Is there any adults going?

Well, I'm nearly 18.

Yeah, and I've been to my family
caravan by myself loads, so...

OK, well...

Look, Izzy's only just turned 16,

so she won't be able to go to any
bars or clubs with you.

None at all?

Look, I just need to know that she'd
be safe if I agreed to let her go.

Obviously,
we would love for her to come.

But only if you're OK with it.

Mm-hm.

Look, I'll, er...

I'll think about it.

Thanks, sir.

No clubbing?

Well, what else is there to do?

Ugh.

Ooh, nice outfit, Joe.
WOLFWHISTLE

Oh, thanks.

I think he's been at Mitch's
wardrobe. Quiet!

OK, good morning, everybody.

Let's start today by welcoming
back Nicky Walters.

APPLAUSE

Thank you. She's here on her
three-month placement

with Behavioural Management.
Yep.

Years of stopping you lot nicking
extra chips finally comes in handy.

Oh, Mitch is
still our lead for SENCO,

but any behaviour concerns,
Nicky is your first point of call.

I'm afraid you might be busy.

The police caught some of our
Year Tens buying drugs this morning.

They're worried
we might have a growing problem.

Out of the chip pan, eh, Nicky?

Well, on the course,
they talked about substance abuse

often being linked
to poor mental health.

And here's me thinking it's cos
they want to get high.

Coping techniques and emotional
strategies make a big difference.

"Coping strategies?"

OK. Thank you, everyone.

Donte, I really need those
Year Eight attainment reports.

Yeah, I know. I'm on it.

Hey, welcome back.

Is everything all right?

Ah, just kids, mate.

Why do I always feel like I've
done a full day's work

before I even get in sometimes?

Ha. Which one is it this time,
Ashton? Nope.

Izzy. She's on about taking this
spare ticket

that Lois and Aleena have got
to go to Ibiza.

Ah, yeah, Libby mentioned that.

Well, is she interested?
Please say that she's interested.

It would make my life a lot easier
if I didn't have to say no to Izzy.

Ha! Right, so, encourage my daughter

to go wild in Ibiza so
yours doesn't?

Please.

Hmm. Leave it with me.

Ledge.

It gets easier, you know.

You just have to give it
a few more years.

I know it's the first
day in a new job

but, honestly, it's like she's
swallowed the training manual.

It's a big deal for her.

Of course she's trying to impress
with everything she's learned.

Yeah, well, just wait until
she's had ten years of the kids

beating every little
bit of enthusiasm out of her.

Then she'll need coping techniques.

I thought you weren't meant to be
that cynical now you're management.

Val, I am just being realistic.

Now, I'm sorry,

if she thinks that she can deal
with the worst dibdobs

after 12 weeks of training,
she's got another think coming.

FOOTSTEPS FADE INTO DISTANCE

Great.

Come on,
you can't avoid her every day.

Look, maybe your parents can
speak to Drake.

I haven't told them about it yet.

Schuey, it was hard for them
when they had to put her into care.

And my mum got diagnosed with
cancer at the same time,

so they really don't need it all
bringing up again.

OK, I'm sorry.
I didn't know.

Would you just leave us alone?

We get on like a house on fire,
don't we, Auntie Agnes?

What did you just say?
You heard me.

Right, enough.
PUPILS GASP

You need to back off.

What are you going to do,
short-arse? Hey!

Such a loser.

PUPILS GASP
Hey!

Leoni! Inclusion Unit.
Psycho!

I'm not meant to be in there
this morning.

Guess what? You are now.
Serves you right.

And you can go an' all, Schuey.

It had nothing to do with him!

Come on, Nicky.

Excuse me, it's "Mrs Walters"
to you.

And if you can't
control your temper,

then maybe a spell out of mainstream
is exactly what you need.

Now go!

I'm not even that short.

Go!

BELL RINGS

Girls, please come on.

Oh. Welcome back to inclusion,
Mr Weaver.

This is starting to become a habit.

Well, she gobbed on my face,
and somehow, that's my fault.

You were goading her.

All right, Miss Tennant,
your usual spot, please.

Congratulations.

First two customers
out of mainstream.

Well, they were scrapping
in the corridor.

I wasn't sure
if I was overreacting a bit.

Wanted to make
a point on my first day.

Honestly, I have been so snowed
under with Sen and Behaviour,

I am just glad that you're here to
take care of that side of things.

Please, do whatever you like.

SHE CHUCKLES

Besides, Leoni's...

Yeah, she's not ready to move back
to mainstream just yet.

She's in a behavioural cycle.

Someone's been listening in class.

Mm.

Well, my niece, Kelly Jo,

was the same till
she worked out how to break it.

Has anyone tried asking Leoni what
her triggers are?

It's hard to get her to open up.

Try active listening.

Well, like I said,
it's your area now,

so try what you like. Hmm.

Do you want to tell me what that
was about? In the corridor?

Not really.

So, I'm hearing you don't
want to talk.

That's what I just said.

You find it hard to open up
to people. Why do you think that is?

Because they all do my head in.

So you're saying that you struggle
to connect with people?

No, you said that.

I just want to be left alone.

You want space? Yeah.

Why'd you keep repeating
everything I say?

You like parrot or something?

I'm just trying to listen to what
you have to say.

Right, and I'm telling you to
stay out my face.

Leoni, sit down and keep it zipped,
please.

Or I will subject you all to another
Eurovision playlist.

Shall we go? No.

Thank you very much.

Look, don't worry.

She always likes to chew someone up
and spit them out before lunch.

SHE LAUGHS WEAKLY

Hey, Luca, how are you?

I'm OK.

Oh, Iz, have you heard?

Tonya, you don't
have to tell everyone.

Ah.

Do you know that modelling agency
that's been messaging Shola? Mm.

Got her a job.

Really? Congrats.

It's a sportswear shoot in Stockpot,
not Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

Oh, we should go out after training
tonight to celebrate.

No, sorry, I can't.

I've got to meet Lois
and Aleena to sort the Ibiza trip.

Yeah, like that's happening.

Yeah, well, it is actually, Ashton,

cos Dad said he'd think about
it, didn't he?

Yeah, well Lois and Aleena said
there'd be no adults,

he didn't look too happy.

And they didn't look pleased either
when he said

if you go clubbing they'd have
to babysit you.

I have marking to do, so you lucky
lot get to do a PSHE quiz.

DOOR OPENS

I'm starting to think that
you're avoiding me.

I was going to come to yours last
night but you didn't text me back.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I just crashed out really early.

You'll have to make it up
to me, then.

Deal, I'll come to yours tonight.

Have you got some secret wife that
you're trying to hide from me?

Just a really messy flat.

Right, fine.

Come round to mine.

Hmm. See you in a bit.
See you later.

Hey, Stella. Hi. Thank you.

How was the staff briefing?

Yeah, fine.
I spoke to the police.

They found ketamine on three
of the Year Tens.

They've cautioned them,
but they suggest that we do a full

search to make sure there's not
a bigger issue.

I don't think we've even got
the staff numbers to do that today.

It's disruptive whenever we do it.

At my last school,

we brought in a firm that
specialises in sniffer dogs.

It's much easier that way.

Well, I think that's a bit extreme.

Very effective.
I've still got the guy's number.

I can see
if they've got availability.

What, you really think that's
the way to go?

I think it's worth a try.

And it'll show the police we're
listening to their concerns.

Oh, OK, we'll give them a call
and we'll see if it's an option.

Well done for taking the initiative.

BELL RINGS

Izzy! Izzy.

Hey, what's happened?
You all right?

Like you don't already know!
What?

Don't worry about me going away.

Lois and Aleena don't even
want me going

after the conversation
you had with him.

I'm sorry, Iz.
No, you're not.

Listen, I was worried, yes, OK?

But I never said that you
couldn't go.

You made me out to be
some sort of child

that's too embarrassing
to even be around.

Iz, come on.
I never said that.

Listen, I get why
you're upset, I do,

but you can always go away with
your friends in the future.

I don't have any other friends.

Iz, come on. That's not true.

You don't know anything about me,
or how I feel!

You're always too busy doing
everything else!

I spend half my life trying
to talk you down

from something or
the other at the minute.

I don't know what else
I'm supposed to do.

Nothing! Izzy!

You can't walk out of school.

Watch me!

Izzy. Izzy! Urgh!

Izzy, stop now.

Izzy, stop it!
Come on, that's enough!

Ah!

Ah...

I'm sorry.

Izzy!

I'm so sorry.

I can't believe
they put you in inclusion.

Gets me out of English.

It's unbelievable that
neither the police

nor the school are going to do
anything about her.

And you definitely can't talk
to your mum and dad about it?

You can't talk to them
about much, can you?

Oh, Leoni, you look freezing.

Do you want me
to grab your coat from the unit?

I told you, it's at home.

Just leave me alone.

Hi.

I've spoken to my contact.

He's booked up all week,
but he does have an opening today.

Oh, that's a bit soon.

That's all he's got, and I think
it would really show the police

and the pupils that we're taking
this seriously.

And we get to play with the pups.
They're working dogs, Wendy.

I bet they still
like their bellies rubbed.

The dogs do a quick
sweep of the grounds, minimal fuss.

The only issue is cos it's a late
booking, it's quite pricey.

Pricey?

Well, we still have the unallocated
funds from the recruitment drive.

I really think you'd find
this was worth it.

Oh, all right. Well, you do
the staff briefing,

and we'll let the parents know.

And keep them away from Wendy,

otherwise they will never get
out of the office.

Right, parents.

DISTANT SIRENS

Hey.

I'm really sorry, Dad.

I know.

I was just really upset that
I was missing out again, but...

..I didn't mean to do that.

I swear it won't happen again.

The thing is, darling,

I know you don't deliberately
mean to hurt anyone.

But this isn't the first time that
you've lost your temper, is it?

And every time, you swear that
it'll never happen again.

But it always does.

You know I don't mean it.

But you keep getting wound up.

You can't...

You can't keep hitting
out at people, you know?

You can't keep hitting me.

I won't.

I love you.

Hey, come here.

Hey, and I love you too, OK?

Look, I think you need some help.

Do you think there's
something wrong with me?

No, darling.
Hey, no, no.

Darling, listen, you're just
struggling to control your emotions.

I think, you know, maybe family
therapy might help.

No. I can't speak to anyone
else about this!

Hey, hey, Iz, it's fine.

I promise.

There's nothing wrong with me.
I know, darling.

I know. There's nothing wrong with
you, OK?

Don't tell anyone there is,
Dad, please.

Hey.

You don't have to do
anything you don't want to.

I promise, everything's
going to be fine.

Parents have all been informed.

There'll be a brief inspection of
the lockers, some of the classrooms.

You should barely know
it's going on.

So are you... You're seriously going
to bring sniffer dogs into school?

We've had reports of drug use.

It's just like doing a bag search.

Only bags don't have
large teeth

and a tendency to chase anything
that smells like chicken.

LAUGHTER

Darius, did you see any kids
hanging around this morning

when you were in early?

I found a scruffy sleeping bag
in the Sixth Form common room

and a pillow. I thought someone
might be using it to bunk up.

It was probably just from last
month's Duke of Edinburgh.

Well, I'm going to throw it
away anyway.

DOOR SLAMS

What's this? It's not mine.

Yeah.

Debs left an old coat in my car,
so I thought it might be useful.

I've got my own coat.

Yeah, no, I know. But I could see
that you were freezing,

and she was going to
donate it anyway,

so I thought maybe you could
borrow it.

Do you think I'm some
sort of charity case?

Skank!
LAUGHTER

No, no-one is saying that.

I don't want your pity, and I don't
want your crappy cast-offs.

Should be finishing
off your presentation.

Did you hear about the sniffer dogs?

Going to be in school this
afternoon.

You all have one minute to Doomsday.

Right, who's presenting what?

Luca, are you up for doing intro?

No, you'll be better than me.

No. You'll... you'll be amazeballs.

What's the sign for amazeballs?

Amazeballs.

Look, can you two decide?

Freddie, you do the intro,
I'll do the middle.

Luca,
you have to show off your drawings.

You're part of this,
and your drawings are...

Ten seconds until we get to
discuss your detailed survey

of property in the 11th century.

I don't think so.

It's his choice.

Right, everyone.

Doomsday is here.

BELL RINGS

Move out the way, you skank.

Can't even afford a coat.

Leoni, if you keep letting people
get to you,

they're going to
keep trying to wind you up.

Just get lost.

I know I'm the last person who
should be saying this, but it gets

a lot easier once you stop looking
for a scrap every time you're upset.

The only thing upsetting me is you.

OK, whatever.

Just leave Agnes alone.

Yeah?

She's the one who called
the police on my first day here.

I literally saw you attack her.

OK. Did she tell you what happened?

They just chucked me out. Yeah.

She told me what happened when you
were kids, the fire and that.

She made out it was all me.

Nothing to do with
the perfect Agnes.

Cos I'm always the one
who ruins it all.

What, so you're telling me
it wasn't all you?

What's the point?

You won't believe me
no matter what I say.

You all right?

You don't seem yourself today.

What? Bitchy and self-centred?

I never said that.

I'm just worried about you.

Well, don't be.

Cos it's not your problem.

Look, just cos things didn't
work out doesn't mean we can't talk.

You don't even like me.

That's not true.

Well, you're right.

I'm not a good person.

Iz...
I'm no good for anybody.

Oh, man.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

TUTS, SIGHS

DOOR OPENS

Hey, you're not supposed
to be in here.

I was just wondering if you're OK.

There's rumours going around
you've got a...shiner.

Yeah, it's nothing.

So why is your face messed up?

Thanks, Ashton. You know,
that makes me feel loads better.

I'm sorry. It just looks pretty bad.

What happened?

It was just a door.

A door? Yeah.

Yeah. Just hit you in the face?

Yeah. That's all it was.

Like, it was embarrassing,
I know, but it's no big deal.

OK? So, can you please just go now?

Oh, did a door punch you
in the back, as well?

So your face is messed up, you've
got bruises all over your back -

Dad, what's going on?
Ashton, leave it.

Right.

Only I hear Izzy arguing with you
all the time, throwing things and...

Well, it's got nothing
to do with that, OK?

Are you sure?

She's seemed pretty angry recently.

Yeah, I know.
And I'm talking to her.

We're sorting things out.

So there is something to sort out?

Ashton. Drop it.

It's under control.

Ah, here he is.

Mr Bentham. Stella Drake.

Thank you for coming in so promptly.

Ah, I had a gap in my schedule

and happy to do a favour for
somebody I've worked with before.

We really appreciate it.

I was expecting
something a bit, erm...

Scarier? Yeah.

Spaniels are easiest
to train for sniffer work.

They're friendly
and won't bother the kids.

Yeah, we'll just walk round
the school, check the lockers,

won't even know we're here.

Right, well, I'll leave you to it.

If you find anything,
let me know as soon as possible.

Bark as bad as her bite?

Yeah.

But she's paid well over the odds,
so we'll split that 50-50,

and when drugs keep getting found,

we'll have a nice
little monthly earner.

Mm.
CHUCKLES

Never change, do you, Donovan?

Absolutely not. Let's get started.

Oi. Oi, oi, oi.

Whatever's going on between
you and Dad, yeah,

you need to cut it out. Now.

I know you keep fighting,
and he's really upset.

He...he told you?

What did he say?

Enough for me to know
that something's not right.

You all right?

Don't.

BELL RINGS

I'm sorry - you can't do that.

She's a working dog, not a pet.

Don't do it again.

You're great with her.

I've had an idea.

Hey.

You escaped the inclusion unit.

Yeah.

I've got an RS mock.

Couldn't keep me away from that.

Uh...

Look, if you ever want to
talk more about Leoni,

I'm here.

Why would I want to do that?

Well, it's a messed up situation.

And she's obviously pretty
messed up about it too, so...

Has she said something?

Yeah. Er...

She just reckons that everyone
believes you over her.

Of course she's going to say that.

What happened...again?

With the fire when you were a kid.

I told you - she started it.

Yeah, but, what, did she, like,
set fire to her bedroom, your room?

It was the kitchen.

Why are you even asking me this?

I just think I should
know what happened.

Right, well, it's hard, Schuey.

You wouldn't like it
if I asked for all the details

of when your dad
locked you in the boot.

Ah...

Sorry. Nah.

It's cool if you don't
want to talk about it.

My mum was at the hospital one day

and we were in the kitchen.

I'm making tea, again.

Leoni was kicking off...

..again.

She's kicking and screaming
and throwing things around

and I turn away for one second.

Then the next thing I know,
the stove's gone up.

And pretty soon after that,
the whole kitchen's in flames.

Then...

SIGHS
..did she do it?

I just said it was her fault!

Yeah, but it's not like she, you
know, lit a match and set fire...

Right, Schuey,
but she may as well have.

It happened because
she was kicking off.

Yeah.

Look, she reckons that
she's not entirely responsible.

And...I kind of agree.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

Schuey, you weren't there.

She could have killed me.

Nothing else to explain.

Agnes.

Come on.

HE SIGHS

Oi. Oi, you.

What have you done with my dog?

What's he done with my dog?

How should I know? Ask him.

Where's my dog?

HE MOUTHS

She's highly trained.
She wouldn't have just run off.

She liked him.

You think Luca's so desperate for
company that he'd nick your dog?

No!

Is this cos he's deaf?

Of course not.

I'm sorry, Luca.

Sorry.

BELL RINGS

All right, girls, let's go.
Come on. In you go.

Ready for some basketball, boys?

Oi! Hey.

You promised
you wouldn't tell anyone.

Yeah, and I didn't.

Then why has Ashton just had to go?

He saw my face, Iz.

He made his own mind up.

I promise you,
I never said anything.

He just made it into a big
thing in front of everyone!

Then I will talk to him.

I'll make sure he knows that
it's not your fault, all right?

OK?

Hey, shouldn't you be in class?

Well, go on.

You don't want to be any later
than you already are.

Everything OK?

Yeah. Yeah, just...

..just kids arguing over nothing.
You know how it is.

I meant with the eye.

Er, yeah.

Yeah, it's just an accident.

I wish people would stop
making a fuss about it.

BOOK THUDS

BOOK THUDS

You know, for someone who makes out

they want everyone
to leave them alone,

you don't half
create a lot of drama.

I reckon people
underestimate you, Leoni.

I think

they see the sulky face
and the angry body language

and think you'll never do anything.

I was a bit like that,
myself, at school.

I reckoned that if nobody
expected anything of me,

then I was never going to
let anyone down.

My niece was the same.

And now she's got this
amazing career in youth work.

SIGHS
Look...

..no matter what anyone says to you,

it is OK to be angry
if you've got reasons to be.

It's how you channel that anger.

Now, you can choose
to stay in the past

and fight the same battles...

..or you can move forward
and prove everyone wrong.

Hello! Hello!

Erm...

You know, this morning?

I'm...I'm sorry I don't know BSL.

You...you look...

You look lonely.

Sad?

Sad.

She likes you.

HE MOUTHS

Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

A pic... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Aw, she's...

Cute.

HUM OF CONVERSATION

Have you seen Stella?

Apparently
the bloody dog's got loose.

Can't say I have, no.

Everything all right?

Yeah. You know,
I wish everyone would stop asking.

It was just an accident.

OK. You filled out
an accident form, then?

There really is no need.

Are you sure everything's OK?

HE SIGHS

Look, it's just a family thing.

It won't affect my work, OK?

I know that.

I wasn't asking as a colleague.

I don't know, mate. It's just...

It's just tough.

You know, being a single dad
with teenagers.

I bet.

And no-one telling you
what to do, or...

..you know,
if you're getting things wrong.

Well, I think the fact
you're even worrying about it

means you're probably doing OK.

My mum left my dad
when we were kids

and I don't think he cared if
he was getting it right or not.

In fact, I think all he cared about
is if we gave him any bother.

Hey, I'm sorry, man. I didn't know.

I'm not looking for any pity.

I just want you to know
I think you're doing all right.

And if you need anything, I'm here.

Yeah, cheers, Darius.

I appreciate that.

You know, I...

..I think I know what I need to do.

Good.

I often wonder if things
would've been different

with me and my old man if we'd
sorted everything out instead of...

..sweeping it under the carpet.

Anyway, better go and find that
dog before all hell breaks loose.

Good luck. Cheers, mate.

HE SIGHS

Here, girl.
WHISTLING

Come on. Come on, girl. Here.

Have you seen my dog?

Before we get caught.

I'm already on report this week!

Report.

HE MOUTHS

Still, it's probably better we get
her back before the end of the day.

Yeah?

That's great, that, Josh.

Hey, that is disgusting.
Stop messing about.

If I catch you two doing that again,
it's going to be a week's detention.

Do you understand?

Sorry, miss. Sorry, miss.

Right, come on. Get on with it.

We're supposed to be tracking
the blood through the chambers,

like I showed you.

This is disgusting. What you doing?

DISTANT BARKING, SCREAMS

BARKING
Sit down!

SCREAMING

Hey, come here.

What's going on?

Whose is this?

Is that dog in here?

Right. Come here.

Hello. Come here. That's it.

That's it. Good girl.

OK, good girl. Let's go.

This way. No! Come back.

Hey! Stop!

No. Stop!

Is this your dog?

What's it doing in my classroom?

I don't know.

Right, well, don't just stand there.
Come and get your dog.

Oh!

Wow, call yourself a professional.

I'll be speaking to Mrs Drake
about this, you know.

Ooh!

Come on, Jojo.

Right, come on, guys.
Get on with it. Get back to work.

Excitement's over.

What are you two doing here?

Come on. Back to your class.

BELL RINGS

If you're just going to start again,
I don't want to hear it.

I'm the last person
that's going to have a go at you

over something
that happened years ago.

The things I did as a kid...

Exactly.

But you need to tell your parents
it wasn't her fault.

It was! Not...exactly.

You've more or less
already admitted that.

Why do you suddenly care
about her so much?

I care about YOU so much.

You taught me that
I can get over anything

as long as I face the truth.

It's not the right time.

When will be?

I thought you were a Christian.
I am!

Then act like one.
Schuey.

Agnes, come on.

I've been blamed for things
that I haven't done.

I know how it feels.

Please, show me you're
the person I know you are

and set this right.

So you
survived your first day, then?

Just about, yeah.

So, how did the emotional
strategies work?

Sort out the likes on Leoni Tennant?

Not yet, no. But you've got to
keep going, haven't you?

I mean, where would our Kelly Jo be

if this school had
just given up on her?

I reckon I'll do all right
for a dinner lady

who sounds like she's just
swallowed a training manual.

Do you reckon she heard us
this morning?

Us?

That that was all you, pal.
Oh, no...

Oh, no. That's so awkward.

This is why I don't ask...

Night, Leoni. See you tomorrow.

Well, I did it.

How was your first day? Good, yeah.

Apart from Nisha winding me up.

Ew. She needs to have
a look at her own life, her,

instead of judging everyone else's.

I don't think that fella she's with

is all he's cracked up to be,
you know.

PHONE CHIMES
Oh, right, my break's over.

Anyway, proud of you!

NICKY LAUGHS
Aw.

Oh, I like your jacket.
I've got one just like it.

HE SIGHS

KNOCKING

Did you get your dog back, mate?

You need to be more careful,
don't you?

Mm. It's not funny.

It is quite funny.

Did you find anything
once you got it back?

Apart from the three kids
you already knew about,

I only had one other issue.

Some year nine kid had
nicked some weed off his uncle.

OK.

I'll get this paid ASAP.

I've already emailed your PA.

I've given them the account details.

Er, yeah. And when you get paid,
we'll split it, yeah? 4K each.

Maybe.

What do you mean maybe?
I set all this up.

And I provided a service
for which I quoted.

Yes, and your fee was
highly inflated, as you know.

And we agreed that once this is
set up, we can do it over again.

I don't think your boss
would go for it.

Besides, I'm going to take
the dog to the vet now.

This whole day has traumatised her.

We agreed. You agreed
to pay me back last time.

You borrowed money from me.

So I guess we're even.

Oh, and some guys came in the pub
last week, asking where you were at.

Now, as you did me a favour,
I won't tell them.

But they do seem pretty keen
to speak to you

about some cash you owe them, too.

See you, mate.

DOOR CLOSES

Iz?

Iz?

Iz, you all right?

Iz?

HE SIGHS

Hi, this is Izzy.
Please leave me message.

That Schuey's waiting for you again.

Exactly how well do you know him?

Not that well.

No, he just wanted to support me
because I had a bad day at school.

You've not had another stand-off
with the teachers, have you?

Because I don't think your dad
and I could handle

another one of your crusades.

No, it's...it's nothing like that.

Leoni's going there now.

Our Leoni?

Well, why didn't you say?

I didn't want to
bring it all up again.

But it has got me thinking...

..about everything that happened
when we were younger.

And, erm...

..that day, with the fire.

Maybe I got it wrong at the time.

Got it wrong how?

Mum, I'm...

..I'm not sure that the fire was...

..entirely Leoni's fault.

Oh. Oh, sorry.

You doing anything nice tonight?

Is Darius whisking you away,
anywhere exciting?

Er, no, we're just going to
get a takeaway at mine.

More romantic like that, anyway.

Yeah. That's what he tells you.

Sorry?

Well, I found this
sleeping bag in sixth form.

And I thought at first it must be
one of the kids sleeping rough,

you know, like Danny Lewis did.

But then when I thought about it,

the person must have keys.

And when I mentioned it to Darius,

he got really freaked out.

Right, so...

..so you're seriously trying
to suggest that it's Darius

that's been sleeping here.

He's a deputy head.

Do you know what? You're right.
I've probably got it wrong.

But he is always
the first in, isn't he?

And the last to leave.

I never see him come and go.

Have a good night!

Babe, I know we said
we'd go back to mine,

but decorator's still there,
so can't we go to yours after all?

I'm really sorry -
I meant to come and find you,

but I need to work late now.

That's fine. Just give me the keys
and I'll cook for us.

I told you, it's a real mess.

Well, then, I'll tidy up.

You don't have to do that.

Well, I'm offering, but it seems
like you don't want me there.

Of course not.

Right.

I'm not an idiot, Darius.

We've been seeing each other
for quite a while now

and I haven't been
to your place, like, once.

I know when someone's
hiding something.

Question is, how bad is it?

I mean, the cleaner seems to think
that you're living at school.

No.

No, of course not.

I just had
a temporary cash flow problem

and I stayed a few nights.

Oh, my God. You're homeless?

Why...why didn't you tell me?

It's not very sexy, is it?

I don't understand.

You work here. You're doing well.
You're deputy head!

It only takes one domino to fall,
and...

..mine fell when my dad
went into a care home.

It took all of his savings and now
it's eating up everything I've got.

Darius, why didn't you tell me?

Why would I tell the woman I love

that I've got absolutely
nothing to offer her?

You...you love me?

I've wanted to tell you for a while

but I just felt like I had
nothing to offer anyone.

My...

My ex-husband, he left me in debt.

Like, mountains of it.

I know what it's like to
have to claw yourself out of a hole

and have to...have to rebuild.

I will sort this out.

I swear to you.

I know. And in the meantime, you're
going to come and stay with me.

I can't ask you to do that.
No, I insist.

Just until you get yourself
back on your feet.

And, erm...

..I love you, too.

So let's go back to mine and we'll
sort through everything, yeah?

Yeah.

I just need to sort
a few things out here.

OK.

I'll see you later.

DOOR OPENS

LINE RINGING

Izzy, where are you?

Iz!

Izzy!

Iz!

Where are you going?
I've been driving around for ages,

looking for you.

I spoke to Mika.
I'm going to go stay with her.

I've just spoke to Mika myself.

She says she hasn't
heard from you in ages.

The last thing
I want to do is hurt you, Dad.

Darling, I know that.

But this isn't all on you.

I've not known how to help, OK?
So I just stood back.

I stood back and let you do
what you want, when you want,

because it was easier that way.

But I'm not dealing with
what is going on here, Iz.

And the truth is, we need help.

We have done for a long time.

I don't want counselling.

I know.

OK? And I get why.

I know it's not going to be easy
talking about these things.

But we have to.

I can't keep taking
the easy way out.

I mean, I find it hard to admit
that my own daughter

gets upset and angry with me
and I don't know how to stop that.

I'm the adult, Iz.

I'm supposed to be
the strong one, OK?

And I haven't been and I'm sorry.

And I feel ashamed
that I've let it come to this.

But your aggression has to stop.

You hate me.

You must do.

Hey, Izzy, I love you
more than anything in this world.

And if we have to face
some difficult things

to get back to how we were
then that's what we're going to do.

OK, now, we're going to go
to family therapy

and we're going to
talk about everything

because you need to understand that
there is nothing wrong with you.

What if they can't help?

Hey.

Come on.

Of course they can.

Izzy, I know you better than anyone
and you're a beautiful person.

Yes, things have got
out of control,

but this is not your fault.

We can fix this.

And we are going to fix this.

Come here.
