All language subtitles for Waterloo Road s15e02.eng

The last thing that I need
is for my name

to be attached to a school like
Waterloo Road.

He's not breathing.
He's dead, isn't he?!

You didn't kill him!
You don't know what it feels like!

Billy Savage, I'm arresting you
on suspicion of murder.

Sir? I need to go see
the counsellor.

You didn't even know Boz.
All right, God Squad!

I thought you were into
all this healing stuff.

You don't fancy
going out sometime, do you?

It's not you. I mean...
I just can't. With anyone.

ASHTON AND DWAYNE SHOUT

HE LAUGHS

I'll ask you again, Ashton.
Where's the car?!

I swear I've learnt my lesson.

The only way you're going to learn
a lesson is by facing the music.

Ashton, you've caused
a lot of trouble today.

Where were you?
He was with me.

Make the most out of this chance
you've been given, Ashton.

Why not prove your dad wrong?

Hold on, I know that girl.
That's Celine, right?

We went to school together.
I actually went out with her.

Donte, please...
Why are you being like this?

Because I'm pregnant!

I don't believe you!

MUSIC: Wanna Be With You
by Vistas

Tell me sweet things
I don't try ignore it

I'm not coming around
Till I'm ready for it

In my mind's eye,
I want to explore it

I feel stuck in the ground
Cos I'm not ready for it

I'm not ready for it
I'm not ready...

What time do you call this? The SMT
meeting started six minutes ago.

What? You brought it forward?

Yes! You told me yesterday.
I totally... Sorry. I'm coming.

I asked Wendy to take notes,
cos I wasn't sure

if you were joining us.

Oh!

Joseph, you wanted
to flag something up?

Erm, yeah. It... It's Billy's
sentencing hearing today.

I will be attending as appropriate
adult, but Schuey Weever will also

be in court, just cos he's got to
give his Victim Impact Statement.

Excellent. Let's hope
that it's dealt with,

so that we can all move on
from this "murder school" nonsense!

So, before you arrived, Coral,
we were talking about

the new ECTs starting today.

Are you all right? Yeah. It's just
really warm in here. Carry on.

Ms Jas Sharma will be joining
the English department.

She's quite green, so she's going to
need a strong mentor. Any thoughts?

What about Amy? She's always keen.

Er, no, I was thinking
somebody more senior...

..such as yourself. Well, I've got a
pretty full timetable at the moment.

But it's fine. I'll sort it.
I can...shuffle some things.

Hmm. Brilliant.
I knew I could rely on you.

Have you sorted your piece out
for music next week?

I want to do WAP
but change the lyrics

to "woman and proud" or something.

I love that.

What's the hype about?

Billy's court thing?

Could be. Mate, mate.
Have you seen it?

Seen what?

The nude going round.
Look, it's some girl at this school.

Come on. We need to find out who.

I don't know why everyone's
so obsessed. It's legit every week.

Like, bore off.
Have you ever sent one?

No! I wouldn't be that stupid.

I mean, I get asked loads in
the DMs, but it's an instant block.

Hiya. Are you all right?

Yeah. Erm, I'm just... I'm one of
the new ECTs. Do I need to sign in?

Missed you this morning.

Hey! Are you all right?
Yeah, sorry, er...

..just had to come in early to prep.

The new ECTs are in today.
Have you met Jas?

No, I... I haven't. I've actually
got to go and get something

from Wendy, so... Yeah, all right.
I'll, er... I'll catch you later.

Ashton! Hey. You all right?
You got a minute? All right, Mr C?

You all right? I just, er,
just wanted to say,

you know, er, well done
on your last PE essay.

You taught me a thing or two.
Oh! Cheers, fam.

Er, so, how are you getting on
in your other classes?

Er, yeah, decent.

OK, so, erm, everything's all good
at home now you've settled in?

Guess so. Mam's not chewed
me ear off in 24 hours, so...

Well, you just keep
smashing your classes.

I'm sure your mum
will be really proud.

I've gotta...print something.
Can I bounce?

Yeah, man, course.
You do your thing. You bounce.

OK...

Safe, yeah?

I saw that. Sorry to say, you're not
"down with the kids" any more.

You can't be acting pally
with pupils

now you're in the oldies squad.
Right, I'm not acting for anyone.

I'm just... Just trying to
get to know the kid, that's all.

What for? With his track record,
he'll be suspended

before the term's out.
Not worth the bother.

Yeah, I don't know.

Is everything all right?

Yeah.

You promise you won't say anything?
Bro code swear, pal.

It's just... Well, I might be
way off the mark here, OK?

But it's just... Well, you remember
how I said me and Ashton's mum

used to go out?

Look, the last time
that I saw her...

..she told me that she was pregnant.

Oh! Look, I've seen
Ashton's records, OK?

And, well, his birthday
is eight months after that.

Oh...

Oh! Yeah! You mean
you think you might be his...

I don't know! Well, did you not
reach out to the girl to find out?

Well, no. No, I was young.
We were rowing.

I just thought she made it up.

Anyway, she moves away,

me and Chlo have Izzy
and I just forget all about it.

But it's not until now that I've
seen Ashton, that I thought maybe...

Well, look, I'm sure
if he was yours,

she'd have told you before now.

Yeah. Yeah,
you're probably right. Mmm.

NEIL LAUGHS

Listen up, everybody, I'd like to
introduce the new ECTs.

We got Ms Sharma, Ms Baker and
Mr Smilie. Make them feel welcome.

Have a good day.

Oh! Glad you could make it.
Ms Sharma's been wandering around

like a lost sheep when she should've
been greeted by her mentor.

Well, I was sorting Year 7 cover.
I can't be in two places at once.

Sorry. I didn't mean that
to sound...

Erm, I'll speak to Jas.
Thank you.

Oh, what... What is that smell?

Is that the Scotch egg
from the fridge?

I told you to bin it! It's only a
couple of days over the best before.

Tastes fine. What was all that about
with you and Stella? Seemed frosty.

Honestly, I don't know
where I stand with the woman.

I get the sense she thinks
I'm completely inadequate.

Well, I doubt that. You've not seen
the way she looks at me.

And to be fair, I'm hardly
giving off a good impression.

I can't believe I forgot about
the briefing!

Well, you're probably overtired. You
were tossing and turning all night.

SHE LAUGHS

Is it any wonder I've not slept
a wink? Cos you insist on having

a 20-tog quilt AND a blanket.
It's so warm, I can't breathe.

Oh, don't go blaming
the master quilt again,

just cos you've had a hot flush.
They are not hot...

How dare you! I'm only joking.
Well, don't. And...

..get rid of that thing.
It's making me feel sick.

Don't...

Hey. Not having it.
I don't really get it.

Whatever. Do you reckon the papers,
right, they'll want to chat to us

after court today? I do a proper
boss interview, me, you know.

I still can't believe
that Billy pleaded guilty.

I mean, I just feel like the stuff
with Boz wasn't his fault.

Bet it's just to get a shorter
sentence. I hope it works.

Yeah. Wait, wait, wait. Look, I can
see the headlines already, right?

Yeah? "Boy from murder school
reveals all."

That's sick, that, innit? No!

Don't you think it's a bit morally
backwards to try and get famous

off the back of something so tragic?

Right, everyone's talking
about it already, yeah?

Might as well make the best
out of a bad situation.

I'm not dealing with this, me.

Billy must be dead nervous to
stand in the docks and everything.

Here, Mr Casey? Mmm? Why can't we
go to Billy's hearing today?

I thought we were supposed
to be supporting him.

Well, because you've got classes,

and I don't think he would want you
to miss your education.

Yeah, but seeing what goes on
in a courtroom could be educational.

Right, that's good. Yeah, yeah,
it's good. It's a good try, yeah.

No. Sorry.

Why don't you try writing him
a love letter, and I'll pass it on?

And give him something to read
while he's locked up forever.

Why are you piping up? You don't
know what you're talking about.

I know Boz'd still be alive
if it weren't for him.

Yeah, well, you're not completely
innocent in all this, are you?

I never killed no-one.

Why are you playing the victim
in this situation?

HE TUTS

The last person that should be able
to give a statement is you.

DOOR OPENS

Hiya!

Jas! Great. You'll have my classroom
all day, so get settled.

I know it's your first solo lesson,
but do not worry.

This year group can be a bit lively,
so my advice is

lay down the law straight away. That
way, they know where they stand.

Yeah. I prefer to take a more
modern, conversational approach.

It's less harsh.
Right.

Well, er, I'll go through
the names with you

and flag anyone
that might get a bit cheeky.

Thanks, but I'm good.
I'll reach out if I need anything.

Don't you have a class now?
It's gone five past.

Yes. Right, erm... Well, er,
have a good day. And shout if...

JAS SCOFFS

BELL RINGS

Oi! What's up with you?
What you in a mood for?

Nothing. Clearly not nothing. You've
barely said a word since earlier.

You on your period or summat?

I'm fine. Will you just leave it?

All right, no need to get aggy.

PHONE VIBRATES

Aleena? What?!
Is the nude yours?

Lisa M said she's seen it
and it's deffo you.

Wow. I did not have you down
as the type. It's ballsy, that.

No, it's not. She's lying.

She doesn't even know
what she's on about.

UPROAR
Right, that's enough.

Pass me your papers.
Can we get to our seats, please?

Who threw that? Who threw that
at me? It's very disrespectful.

Hey, hey, hey!

You, you and you, by the wall, now.

I played semi-pro cricket
when I was your age.

60mph bowl.
Who wants to see it first?

Are you on one? That's assault.

Can you explain, then, why you felt
it necessary to assault Miss Sharma?

We were only messing!
ASHTON SNIGGERS

Mess with me
and there's consequences.

Right, you'll clean the room up
after school.

Lesson learnt. Sit.

Mary Shelley's
horror masterpiece. Mmm!

A personal favourite of mine.

Miss Sharma, hit the lights.

So...picture this.

You've just turned 18,
you've left home,

gone travelling in the Swiss Alps,
staying in a freezing-cold cabin.

A storm is lashing at the walls, and
the wind is howling at the windows.

Your friends ask you
to tell them a ghost story.

You want to impress,
you want to fit in.

So you take a breath.

A crack of lighting,
a flash of inspiration.

GASPS: They are scared.

They are really, really scared.

Hey...are you OK?

Yeah. Fine.

You don't look fine. Is it
cos of what Tonya and Shola said?

Look, I know you're dying
to preach about forgiveness

or something like that,
but I'm really not feeling it.

If you ask me, I'd say Billy
deserves to be sent down for life.

Yeah. Right, so...
You're on my side?

I'm not on a side. I'm just saying,

I think you should try and
find a way to forgive and move on.

The only thing that's going to make
me feel good is Billy behind bars.

That was amazing. They were
hanging off your every word!

Indeed. But it wasn't my lesson
to teach, was it? I-I know. Sorry.

I spilt coffee on the sheets,
and then they were all blurry

and then the kids started acting up.
Well, they're not wrong.

They can't experience Shelley's
world if they can't read her words.

Where's the proper texts?
We only have a few decent copies.

The rest of them are torn
or they have drawings of...

You don't want to know.
Well, that's not good enough.

I'll see what I can do.

Next lesson, focus on what draws YOU
to the writing.

Your passion feeds theirs.

O-OK. Yeah. Thank you so much.

And between you and me, I've taken
my fair share of paper missiles

over the years. Learn to catch.

Look, it's not that bad, to be fair.
Remember when Big Josie from Year 13

did a video for her boyfriend and he
accidentally posted it on Instagram?

Oh, yeah. Didn't her dad see it?
Yeah. Grim.

And half of Year 11 saw Stace's bra
at last term's fashion show.

It's really not a big deal.
This is totally different.

Why? Cos you're Islam? I'm not
"Islam". That's the religion.

Oh. Right. Anyway,
you don't need to stress -

you've got a banging body.
I bet you look fit as.

I'll get someone to send it to us,
to put your mind at rest. No!

Don't. It's ugly. No, I can't.

All right, my girls,
let's warm up, please.

What's up with Aleena?
Is she not feeling well?

It's her nude, miss. It's leaked.

Her nude... OK,
I'll see what I can do.

Aleena? All right,
all right, deep breaths.

Come on, come with me,
and we'll sort it out.

Can you, er, look after
the class, please?

BELL RINGS

Dad? Dad, Dad, Dad,
I forgot my, erm... Oh!

You're a life-saver.

Hmm, yes, well, you'd forget
your head if it wasn't screwed on.

Hey...I better still be number-one
priority when Cat lands next week.

Next week? No, your mum said the
flight doesn't get in till the end

of the month. Well, that WAS
the plan, but she got a cheaper one.

I thought you knew.
No!

Well, now I need to ask Coral
to shift her stuff

out the spare room this weekend.
Oh, that'll be fun...

She's already bit me head off today
over a Scotch egg.

Was it that egg you were
"saving for a treat"?

She's right, Dad, that is rank.

Do you have any idea who sent it?

If you give us a name,
we can inform the police.

No police. Please.
They'll catch whoever did it.

You can't. It's the same
as last time.

It's on a timer, so ten seconds
and then it's gone. Just so stupid.

What, this has happened before?

At my old school.

I was with this guy, and he said
he'd leave me if I didn't.

And then it got everywhere.
That's why I moved here.

And now it's out again,
and even more people have seen it.

What did the teachers do about it?
Nothing. They just ignored it.

Well, that's not acceptable.
I'll ring the social worker

that her last school assigned,
see if they've got any insights.

And we will need to contact
your parents, OK?

I'll arrange an assembly
with the year group,

make them aware of the consequences
of image sharing.

We need to crack down on this hard
if we're to squash it.

Are you OK with that, Aleena?
I don't want everyone to know.

Unfortunately, I think
it's too late for that.

Won't an assembly
draw even more attention to it?

Her previous school
brushed it under the carpet.

Look what good that did.
We're dealing with this head-on.

Ask Miss Whitwell
to inform the staff.

Yes. Wendy Whitwell. How are you? Is
that a new jacket? That looks nice.

What do you want? Straight down
to business. See, that,

that is what I love about you,
Wendy. Er, listen,

erm, Ashton Stone. Year 11.
He's been... He's been acting up

in class and I thought
it'd be best if I...

..if I mention it to his mum.

You could just write it
on his report card,

like we do with every other student.
Mm-hm. You see, I, er...

I knew you'd say that,
it's just, er... Look, he's...

He's been passed around, OK,
from school to school?

And I just thought
it'd be best if I, er...

..you know, speak to his mum direct.
You know, nip it in the bud.

So maybe, er... I don't know, you
could call her, ask her to drop in?

Sometime today? If, er...
If you get a minute?

Yeah, cos I'm not rushed off my feet
already, am I?

I'm sorry, Wendy, did you say
something then?

Just calling her now.
Thank you!

"The actions of Mr Savage
have greatly affected my life

"in numerous ways..."

"Numerous"! I don't...
I don't even talk like that.

You've read Mr Weever's
Victim Impact Statement.

Is there anything you want me to say
about it when we're in the room?

No.

I mean, not really. I'm ready
to go down for however long.

10 years, 20, whatever.
You can't think like that.

You're still young.
Yeah, and I did something terrible.

I deserve to be punished.

Er, Mr Casey?
Ah, Schuey, how are you doing?

I just need a word about
my statement thing. It ain't right.

Why? Is it not what you submitted?
No, it is, but...

..like, it feels wrong wrote down.

You know? Like I'm just banging on
about me all the time.

Well, yeah, that's what a Victim
Impact Statement is. It's, er...

Hiya. This is meant to be about
what effect it's had on you.

Nah. Nah, this is about Billy.

Sir, he merked my mate.
He deserves to suffer for that.

Yeah, I think he already is.

Sorry, Schuey, look,
your solicitor did say that you...

..you can't change your statement
once it's been submitted.

Mr Savage has already
been sentenced.

I'm going to be in court
as Billy's appropriate adult,

so I don't even think we can be
discussing this, unfortunately.

No. Yeah. Yeah, standard.
Team Billy.

Just like everyone else.

Thanks for nothing.

Waste, man.

You may be aware
that an indecent image of a student

is being sent around school.

Have you finished?

Sorry, miss. You should know,
if someone shows you that image,

they're committing a crime.
But we're all over the age of 16.

No, the age of consent is 16,
but it is illegal to possess,

take, make, distribute or show
an indecent image of a person

under the age of 18.
Right, but, er,

what about, like, a cheeky little
mirror selfie just for us?

THEY LAUGH
Who's in the photo?

Right, enough.

Another comment from anyone,
it'll be detention for a week.

Any further reports that this photo
is circulating,

phones will be confiscated
and the police informed.

Have I made myself clear?

CHATTER AND GIGGLING

Yo, yo, yo! Guess what mad ting
I heard.

So, apparently, those dirty photos
are of you.

Here, am I right?

Oh, just leave it, Ashton, all
right? Can't you see she's upset?

Come on, bro.

Babe, that assembly was intense,
but at least it's sorted now.

It's done with. It's not done.
It never will be.

Don't you get it?
This was your fault.

Why did you have to
go telling Ms Walker?

We were trying to help.
Well, thanks to you, everyone knows.

Sorry, we didn't think.
We'll make it up to you.

I'll do your maths homework
for a month.

Why are you pretending to care?
What you on about? We... We do.

You think I'm stupid.

You said so this morning.
And you're right. I am stupid.

Don't say that. No-one wants to be
mates with stupid photo girl.

And, look, everyone's staring.

And you're just as bad as
the rest of 'em, so stop being fake

and leave me alone.

At least they know
that we're taking it seriously.

Aleena had her privacy violated in a
way you or I could never comprehend.

All you did was put
an even bigger spotlight on her.

She needs counselling,
not an assembly.

Maybe. That's not
the school's responsibility.

I had to make cuts on the latest
budget. We can no longer afford it.

We have pupils in dire need
of support,

and you've axed
the visiting counsellor?

We have pupils in dire need
of pens and textbooks.

I can't please everyone.

I've got to think
of the bigger picture, Coral.

We have a duty of care. We have
a duty to teach right from wrong,

and that's what I've done. End of.

Girls need to get smarter
about these things.

Maybe boys need to get
some basic respect.

You two still at each other?
I just feel like...

..she doesn't listen to me. I mean,
imagine if this happened to Libby.

What would you want
the school to do?

Well, I can't even think about it.

But you are not a psychologist,
remember.

Now, I'm not saying I agree
with Stella,

but we're not trained for this.

Oh, head teacher's pet now, are we?

Do you think I'm not pulling me
weight as well? Oh, don't be silly.

And I doubt she actually said that.

So, you know that, erm,
Cat is coming to stay?

Yeah. Erm, yeah, I'm looking forward
to spending some time with her.

Well, good news is,

I've just found out through
the Libby grapevine

that she's due to land a week
next Tuesday.

Sorry, not a week next Tuesday.

Er, I mean this Tuesday,
as in next week.

What?! The house isn't ready.

I'm barely keeping my head
above water as it is.

How am I going to cope with another
messy teenager? No, she can't come.

Whoa, hey, no need to bite me head
off! It's too hot in here.

I can't hear myself think.

What is all this about? You've just
gone from nowt to a hundred.

Have you hit the menopause?
This is not the bleedin' menopause!

It's you!

Aleena! Stop!
Just stop looking at me.

I can't stand everyone
looking all the time.

I...
Just wait.

CORAL GRUNTS IN FRUSTRATION

Dare I ask?
Neil! Oh.

It's not easy with Libby,

and now another teenage Guthrie's
moving in next week -

pinching my gin, using my razors.

I found four hair clips in
my light synthetics wash last week.

Four!

Oh, heavens forbid.

And to top it off, he had the cheek
to say I'm menopausal.

I mean, I might be,
but it's not his place to say.

Nearly tore him a new one. You're a
bit young for all that, aren't you?

Well, that's what I thought.
But I read this morning

you can start peri in your thirties.
Really?

Well, have you got any symptoms?
Just a bit of brain frog.

"Frog"! Fog! And my cycle's
all over t'place.

Oh, my periods always go
a bit skewwhiff,

particularly when I'm poorly.
It'll be, erm, that head cold.

It's going round at the moment.

Or, erm, PMDD.

Or stress.

Or a phantom pregnancy.

Or a real pregnancy.

Wait? COULD you be pregnant?

Oh, don't be ridiculous, Wendy.

Ms Walker, you need to come quick.
It's Aleena. Wh-what's happened?

I don't know. She just ran
into the girls' toilets upset

and then I heard a smash. Right, er,
get back to class, I'll handle it.

CORAL SIGHS

Goodness me...

Aleena? Are you OK?
Do you need me to get first aid?

No.

I'll just get rid of these
sharp bits, to be on the safe side.

Right.

Risk assessment complete.
CORAL LAUGHS NERVOUSLY

Do you mind if I sit?

Whatever.

You don't have to...say
or explain anything. I'll just...

..stay here and be present.

I weren't trying to cut myself,
if that's what you're thinking.

OK. Look, I can't say
I know how you feel, cos I don't,

and everything with the assembly
can't have helped matters...

..but I want you to know
I am here for whatever you need.

I thought if I pretended nothing
happened and re-invented myself,

that it'd just go away.
But it won't.

I'll always be photo girl.
That's it.

You're so much more than that.
And I was doing good. I was.

I thought maybe it was OK
to make friends,

maybe I didn't have to hate myself.

OK. Look at me. Look at me.

Deep breaths.

In...

..and out.

In...

..and out.

Taking that photo was stupid.

And I knew that when I did it.

I lost everything.

And I deserved to.

I'm just an ugly, horrible...

No, you're not. Listen to me.
None of this is your fault.

Your brain might be telling you
otherwise, but you have done

NOTHING wrong.

Before it happened, it was him
and these four best mates.

And then, when he did what he did,

they just dropped me.

And all my mates could say was,
"You've changed.

"We don't know
who you are any more."

And I didn't know who I was.

I feel like I can't trust anyone.
I definitely can't trust boys.

What they did was cruel...

..and that...boy can rot in hell,

but that doesn't mean you should
write everyone else off, too.

Stace and Lois told me
because they were worried about you.

Maybe. It's just hard,
believing that.

Of course. All in your own time.
Take as long as you need.

Yeah, we can't just run away
from our problems, can we?

In't that the truth?

I wish there was more
I could do for you.

You can't. You can't fix this.

But...

..talking about it actually makes me
feel a bit better.

So thanks.

Can we get out of here now?
It smells like old wee.

Come on.

DOOR OPENS

Are you going to come up
and read your statement?

PAPER RUSTLES

Erm... "The actions of..."
Speak up, Mr Weever.

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
Soz, miss.

"The actions of...Mr Savage..."

You know what?

That boy is scum.

And you're all looking at me
like I am the wrong 'un

and he's perfect and whatnot,
but if you knew...

This is not the agreed statement.

You must read
what has been submitted.

Nah. You see...

..this is rubbish.

I can't do it.

Not to worry, Mr Weever,

I'll ask the prosecution to read
your statement to the court.

"The actions of Mr Savage

"have greatly affected my life
in numerous ways."

KNOCK ON DOOR

Hello!

Can we talk?
Yeah, of course we can.

Oh, erm, about Cat, look, I know
that wasn't what we planned...

It's not about Cat.

What's wrong, love?

Come on, cos whatever it is,
you and I, we can deal with it.

We'll get through it, I know we can,
because we are a team, you and me.

Neil, I'm pregnant.

No, you can't be!

Well, I am.
Are you sure?

It explains why I've been feeling
so out of sorts. It's sterilised.

What are you thinking?

I...

..don't know. Erm...

..how am I supposed to think?

Well, how do YOU feel?
Don't know.

Shocked. Confused.

Erm, I mean, I've never...
You've done this twice before.

Yes, and that was more than enough.

Oh, really?

Er, well, I mean,
I didn't mean, erm...

It's just...

Well, look at us. We're hardly
spring chickens, are we?

You think teenagers are hard
to deal with - you have no idea

how hard it is trying to deal with
a teething toddler on no sleep.

Well, I guess I could learn.

This isn't like you.

You're a... You're a career woman.
I mean, that's what you said.

Last week, you were looking at
that head's job at Cedarwood.

I know, but... I'm just trying
to be realistic here.

I mean, how will we manage?

You can't cope with my two

and a little poop machine
screaming the house down 24/7.

It's too much. Just think how old
we'll be when it's going to school.

I mean, they'll be calling you
Granny at the parents' evening!

You don't want that!
OK, enough!

I get it. I hear you loud and clear.

So much for being a team.

DOOR SLAMS SHUT

Oh, Poetry Club! Love that.

Yeah, every Thursday after school
with yours truly. Can I come along?

I did a lot of slam poetry at uni.

Still hold the words-per-minute
record. More the merrier.

JAS SHRIEKS HAPPILY
Oh, God, I'm so excited!

I got so lost coming in here.
I walked into this classroom

full of Year 8s, and I wanted
to die. It's not even funny.

She not your cup of tea?
What, Jas Hands? I don't know.

The jury's still out for me.

I hear she is rubbing quite a few
people up the wrong way, though,

with the...
SHE SHRIEKS WITH LAUGHTER

Have you heard about it?
I was so good at slam poetry.

Like, everybody in the audience
was like, "Yeah! Go get it, girl!"

And I was like,
"Yeah, thank you, I know."

It was brilliant.
You know what I mean?

Celine Stone? I left a message
on your voicemail.

Ah. Er, this is Mr Charles.
He wanted to have a word with you.

Thanks, Wendy.

Wendy? Thank you...

I'll leave you to it.

Hi. I know this is, er...probably
a bit of a shock

after all these years.
Sorry, what is this about?

Is Ashton in trouble?
Erm...

Let's find somewhere to talk.

I've read the statements and
character references put forward.

You pleaded guilty and you show
true remorse for your actions.

Given your age and the circumstances
that pushed you to

an unhealthy state of mind,
I sentence you to be detained

in a youth rehabilitation centre
for 18 months.

Take him down.

18 months?

Schuey... Schuey?
How are you feeling?

Hey, at least they all got to hear
your statement. What do you care?

Hmm? You backed Billy from the
start, just like the rest of 'em.

You wish I was sent down. And I bet
you're glad Boz is gone as well.

Hey, hey. Schuey, that is not true.
It is, though.

Look, you know my cousin, yeah?
He got two years for nicking.

Nicking! That's nothing
on what Billy's done.

Yet everyone's sad for him.

Why?! What, is it cos he's posh?

Nah, it's messed up. And...

I'm out.

Er, the lady mentioned something
about Ashton's behaviour.

Yeah. Yeah, that's right. I mean,
there's no particular incident,

it's just, er, I saw his records
and, as his teacher, I just thought

it would, er... Well, I just wanted
to see if there was any issues

in the past.. Wait a minute,
you're actually teaching him?

Yeah. Yeah. I, er... I passed
my exams in the end, so...

Listen, erm, with Ashton, right,
going to and from so many schools,

I just... Well, I-I thought it'd be
useful, you know, just to, like,

get a bigger picture of his
home life. I mean, does he, er...

..does he have any, like,
paternal role models in his life?

His father is at home.

Look, he has loads of people
that love him, and we're doing

our best for him. Yeah. Yeah,
of course. I-I don't doubt that.

Look, I'm... I'm sorry
to even ask this, Celine,

but... Look, I've seen
his records, OK? And...

..yeah, cos of the timings and,
obviously, everything that happened

with me and you... Oh, God,
you don't think he's yours, do you?

I can't even... Look...

..this was...well, not exactly fun,

but, yeah, I should be getting off.

Yeah...

A quick word?

Thank you.

All right?

Hey.

You did really well up there.
And 18 months, that is...

Well, that's the best you could've
hoped for. It should be longer.

Why?

Every day, I think of Boz's life
and what he could've...

..what he SHOULD have done with it.

And now I get to walk out of here
in a year and a half.

How is that right?

OK. Billy, right, listen to me.

This guilt, right,
that you're feeling right now,

that in itself is...
is...is punishment enough.

It isn't, though.

How can they think that? What,
because of my postcode? My surname?

If anyone else was stood up there,
they would've got

at least five years.
Even my dad got four years.

What about Schuey?

Don't worry about Schuey, OK?

He's going to... He's going to come
to terms with this in his own time.

Billy's fine. 18 months for murder.
Bet he's buzzing.

LAUGHTER

Who were that?

Who were that?!

Bet it were you, weren't it?
I'm just trying to get to class.

Admit it, you dirty little ho.

Oi! What did you just call her?

A dirty little ho.

Don't pretend yous aren't saying it
behind her back.

Just leave it, Dwayne!
He's not worth it.

All right, whatever this is,
move it along.

Period Five is starting.

BELL RINGS

KNOCK ON DOOR
Come in.

Wendy said you wanted to see me.

Ah, right, yes.
Would you like to take a seat?

If this is about the email on
the accelerated learning programme,

then, yes, I can help, I just
haven't had chance to reply yet.

Thanks, but, erm, it's not that.

I think an apology is owed.
Aleena's going back to class now.

I know I was supposed to touch base
with Ms Sharma at lunch,

but I had to prioritise a student
in need, and I'm not sorry.

Rightly so.

No, it's me who owes you an apology.

Social media is a lot worse
since my day,

and my reaction has just
added fuel to the fire.

Well, I did try and say. Every time
I refresh my inbox,

there's a new complaint
from a parent.

And Aleena's reaction proved
you were right about the assembly.

I think you have excellent instincts
and you are a credit to this school.

I mean, I get it wrong a lot...
Shut up and take the compliment.

I know you're ambitious,

and you have the qualities
of a great head teacher.

So, if you're up for it,
I would like to mentor you

for the head teacher qualification.

Oh, wow! Right.

I don't really know what to say.

I mean, thank you, erm...

..but I'm not sure.
Erm, now isn't...

..isn't really a good time.
I just, erm...

I just found out I...

..I'm pregnant.

I can't even believe
I'm telling you this. I just...

I don't mean to be, erm...
It's just...

I'm sorry. I hate getting emotional.
Stop apologising.

I hate people saying sorry
for no reason!

Sorry. Oh, God, I'm really
screwing this up!

Oh, erm, how about
I get out of your hair

and we can pretend
that this never happened?

Listen...
STELLA SIGHS

..being a mother
and having a career is hard -

very hard. But it's doable
with the right support.

Take a breath, process...

..and let me know.
Of course. Erm... OK.

Er, thank you.

That looks sick.

Why are you talking to me?

Thought I might score some drugs.

Jokes. I'm guessing
court was tough, then.

Well, yeah, I'm not
gassed about it, but...

..it is what it is.
No point deeping it.

You should speak to someone,
you know,

about everything that's happened.

Talking's for girls.

SHE SCOFFS

Well, I think it's quite attractive

when a boy's mature enough
to open up.

Cool.

Whatevs.

Schuey, I know what
they say about you.

But you're not that bad, really.

And all this Billy Savage stuff,
it's done now.

You can move on.

We really do. You were right,
we can't understand

what you're going through.
I mean, we can't even imagine,

but we want to be there for you.

We found this charity
where you can report a photo

and they'll try and get it
taken down.

Just talk to them, at least, yeah?

We're riding it out with you
this time, babe. Whatever you need.

Ride or die.

Look, the photo is what it is.
I don't even care about it any more.

I just...want to not hate myself.

I don't know, it's just...
It's really hard talking about it.

You know I went through
some rough things a few years back?

I couldn't say how I felt out loud,
so I started to write it down.

And somehow, over time,
it helped me process things.

I don't know what I'd write.
You don't need to.

Just start and see what comes out.

We're so lucky to have you
as our mate...

..if you still want us.

BELL RINGS

Which teacher's been running their
gums about us? What's happened now?

Someone's dragged me mum in,
saying I'm not behaving or summat,

and now she wants to pull us out.
Doesn't make any sense.

Hey, I'm... I'm pretty sure
it's just a misunderstanding.

I tell you what, why don't I try
talking to your mum?

Yeah? Clear things up for you?
Would you? Really, for me? Yeah.

Yeah, all right. Thanks, Mr Charles.

Agnes? What's with the getup?

I didn't know nuns were allowed
to wear jeans. Shut up.

Where you going? The youth club
at the community centre.

Do you want to tag along?
Nah, not really my thing. No?

Why, you got something better to do?

Like kicking over wheelie bins

or weeing against a wall,
trying to write your name?

You know, actually takes mad skills,
that does.

Come on, you may as well
give it a go.

There's free pizza. Free? Mm-hm.
Free, like, you're not messing?

No!
OK, let's go. Come on.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Oh, darling, look, about earlier,
I didn't mean to...

Stop talking, please.

I'm at my limit.

I know where my head's at,

and I want this baby.

If you don't, then, erm...

..I understand. It hurts,
but...that's life.

I've booked a scan
at a private clinic later. Here.

If you change your mind,
you know where I am.

Hey, Dad, Jared's asking... Oh,
have I interrupted? I can wait out.

It's fine, I was just leaving.

The ball's in your court.

Sorry, love, er, what did you want?
Are you arguing with Coral?

Is it about Cat? No, no, it's...
It's something else.

PHONE VIBRATES
Dad? Is everything OK?

You're not breaking up, are you?

Erm, there's no easy way
to tell you this.

Coral's pregnant.

OK.

Erm, well, that's good news,
isn't it?

I just don't know whether
I can go through it again,

the... The stress...
PHONE VIBRATES

..and the sleepless nights. I mean,
no offence, but you and Cat,

you weren't... You weren't easy.

Maybe, but we're the lights
of your life, right?

Seriously, though,
you're a decent dad.

I reckon you can do it again.

But I don't want to be cleaning up
any baby sick, though.

That is not a vibe.
PHONE VIBRATES

There you are. Why aren't you
picking up your phone?

You still coming to mine tonight,
right? Going to order in a curry.

Er, I don't know.
I... I will be fine.

Right, you two enjoy your evening.

OK. Make sure you speak to her.
And don't mess it up. Love ya.

Celine?

Oh, what now?! He's saying that
you're pulling him out of school.

Yeah. I am. Why? I don't think
that's any of your business.

Well, has this got anything to do
with us and, you know, our history?

Well, we didn't exactly part
on the best of terms, did we?

And I'm not entirely comfortable
with you teaching my son.

Yeah, but he's finally
doing well here.

I mean, he aced his last PE essay.
I don't understand.

Look, has what I said earlier
bothered you? Not at all.

I don't want to cause any drama,
all right? For anyone.

And I'm certainly not going to
say anything to him.

I just wanted to know, that was it,
all right? And I was wrong.

Look, Ashton's been brought up
knowing who his dad is.

And if that were to change, I don't
even know what that'd do to him.

Wait. What are you saying?

That he's actually mine?

Look, all I want
is whatever's best for Ashton.

Then I think you should keep him
here. Look, he's doing well.

You rock the boat now and
he might fall off the rails again.

SIGHS: No, I don't know.
All right, look, I promise you, OK?

You let him stay and I will
keep my distance from you and him.

OK. Right. Look, he's coming now.
Let's just leave it as it is, yeah?

Hey. You all right?

Come on. Let's get you home.

You could just tell people
we're car sharing

instead of walking an extra half a
mile a day. I'm getting me steps in.

This is ridiculous.
Come on, you're not 15.

I'm not going to cringe you out
in front of your friends. I know.

It's just that I don't want them
thinking I'm a nepo baby.

They'll treat me different if
they know you got me the interview.

Yeah, well, maybe they won't tell me
how annoying they think you are.

Who said that?
Oh, just a few people, apparently.

You're making it up.
No, I wish I was.

No, I wanted to get me pitchfork
out, chase 'em down

and say, "You speak about
my daughter like that again,

"I will cut your tongue out."

You've been watching
too much Game Of Thrones.

Come on. Are you getting in?

POP MUSIC PLAYS

Is that your FOURTH slice of pizza?
Schuey, where do you put it?

Erm, Agnes, you didn't tell me
this was a...God club thing.

Oh, did I not?
Sorry, is it a problem?

I don't know.
It's not really my thing.

Well, you seemed pretty happy
stuffing your face.

Yeah. But you know what I mean.

And these lot,
they don't seem, you know, churchy.

Well, we're not big on tradition.

Most of the time, we just come here
to hang out,

and then sometimes we'll talk about
the gospel.

Is someone like me allowed?
I'm no St Mary or nun, whatever.

It's fine. We believe in
a God of endless second chances.

Oh, sweet.

So, what else do you do here?
Well, in ten minutes,

we have this initiation, where we
bash you over the head with Bibles.

Really? I'm joking.
SHE LAUGHS

No, we usually just, erm...turn up
the music and dance.

So...better wash down that pizza.

Whoa!

That's not holy water.
What, do you drink this neat?

Thought you'd know better than
to judge a book by its cover.

Do you want to see
if you can beat my lap time?

Yes. Yeah? Yeah.
OK, let's go.

Taxi to West Road.

Where from?
From Waterloo Road.

MAN CLEARS HIS THROAT

Just a sec.

Hello. Erm, could you cancel that,
please? No worries, mate.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, but I...would like
to take you to the clinic.

Are you sure you want to?
Absolutely, yes.

Hundo P, as the kids say...

..which means...
100%.

Yeah. Very good. At first,
I thought it was a rapper.

I am sorry. I acted like
a bit of a plonker earlier.

Yeah, you did. Massive plonker.

It was a lot to take in.

But now it's fully absorbed,
and I...

I don't mind telling you
that I am bricking it.

But I know I want you
and I want this.

And I really... I really
want to meet our...

..tiny little egg baby.

Come here.

You dafty.

HE EXHALES

I suppose it's too soon
to know the gender.

Yeah. What would you prefer?

Boy. Erm... Well, you know,
it doesn't really matter, does it,

as long as it's healthy?

We've got daughters already, so...

It kicked.

Are you sure?
No, it doesn't normally do that

until much further along.
Definitely did. Feel.

Oh!

How far along are we?!

THEY LAUGH
