Go ahead.

Have a good day, mate. Don't be too
long.

I can't believe it's the right room. I
spoke to Rachel one week ago.

Me and your dad and I ended years and
years ago. And you still feel fit to

it up. I'm sorry.

I'm your mum. That's supposed to mean
something.

I needed someone to talk. So how much
did you tell her?

Just about done.

I'm sure you didn't tell her earlier.

So much for funny loyalty, eh?

Right. I'm late.

Can't keep Rachel waiting. How can I?

Mum!

Oh, Eddie, thank you so much for coming
early. Where's Melissa?

Oh, she's coming.

Good. Look, the inspector says she's
going to be here just after eight, so I

not like everything organised by then. I
can't stand looking forward to this.

We're going to be fine.

So am I. God, this inspection, nightmare
or what?

It's a spot inspection.

I know we're not going to see anything
as polished as the scheduled inspection.

I know, but it's the first day with the
new caterers. Our crash is so full you

could mistake this place for a baby
factory.

Plus, we've got a long list of kids who
could kick off at any moment. Great. We

have got no reason to be embarrassed
about the crash. We should be proud of

As far as problem students, you know,
that's what we do.

These are the kids we teach.

OK. Message received. Loud and clear.

Well, I just want this day to be as
hassle -free as possible.

OK. Oh, and Eddie, can you keep an eye
on Earl Kelly?

Do you know, I think Earl Kelly's really
turned a corner. This thing he's got

going with Maxine Barlow. It's had a
really good effect on him. OK. Roll on

Can't stop, right?

Good, fingers crossed.

You might as well come home with me
tonight.

Hi, Mads.

Well, whatever happened, yeah? My
sister's still at the yard, so it's not

I'm going to disappear.

See you later, yeah?

Yeah, sure.

Hey, you're clean, aren't you?

Smells like nerves in it.

I'm not sure how today's going to go.

Well, every day's a big day when you run
your own business.

I've got my meeting later on with social
services.

See if I can get my kids back.

Yeah? Don't worry, it's after lunch.

I didn't mean it like that, it's just...
I know.

We can't screw this up.

We've got to stay focused.

What stops we off now?

I know.

Serious? Yeah, I mean, we've talked
about it.

I know, but I thought we were just
talking.

I want us to have a baby.

I know what happened with you last time,
but it's not going to be like that.

I thought we wanted the same thing.

We do, but why not wait a bit till we're
left cool?

Because it feels right, doesn't it?

I mean, we want to be together.

We could have a home.

That's more important than that.

It's not that simple.

If you want something and you can get
it, then you can be mad not to take it.

You're not going to answer that.

Are you listening to what I'm saying to
you?

I'm not talking about doing homework or
something.

I'm talking about us having a kid.

And a home.

A proper one.

Something that me and you would never
have.

That's what I want, but maybe I should
have just kept my mouth shut.

I want it, too.

Mr.

Cleaver? Miss Qureshi?

Did you bring my stuff?

It's in the car. It's in the car, it's
fine.

I promise I will bring it in first
period, OK?

That smile that inspectors have that
bothers me.

I mean, if they just came in and said,
we're here to shaft you, at least you

know where you're stood.

But surely you've seen enough of them
not to be bothered any more.

It's a bit like going to the doctors for
a prostate check.

I mean, no matter how much you brace
yourself, it's always more demeaning and

embarrassing than you remember.

Well, it would have to be today.

I've got the inspectorship institute
established.

I think the inspector's there to watch
them.

Tell them it's an educational
psychologist.

That'll shut them up.

I don't see what all the fuss is about.

Oh, yeah? Why is that, then? Just
polished the gym floor, have we?

Finally mastered the offside rule.

Sport is a constant test, isn't it?
There's no hiding behind marking or

paperwork or... Between 15 at
Newmarket...

Don't you dare.

Just wait there like I told you to,
okay?

Don't go out, don't do anything until I
get there, right? I'm okay, Earl.

What's it got to do with you?

Do you want to start that again?

I'm sorry, miss.

Right.

How are you feeling about today?

Your social services assessment.

Yeah, that was mum on the phone then.
She's stressing.

Well, all the more reason to go easy on
her, isn't it?

We've got a big day as well today. We've
got the inspectors coming in. So I only

want to hear good things about you. And
do not let me see you with that phone

again, right?

Sure thing, mate.

What did I just say?

That was me.

Come on then, like, show us what you can
do.

This phone is...

Miss Mason, thanks for the welcoming,
committee.

Some schools don't bother these days.

I'm here to assess the school.

I don't expect you to have had a cure
for teenage boys.

That's a relief.

Well, as you know, we are a broad -based
community school.

Recent innovations. We've got a
breakfast club, a creche, adult... That

sounds great, but let's start with the
basics, shall we?

How about we kick off with the three
R's? Mr Lawson's Year 11 maths class.

Really? Well, that set does contain some
of our most challenging pupils.

Including the infamous Earl Kelly.

Yeah. Earl Kelly is quite a star at the
LEA.

I want to see him in action.

So think hard about how Bronte creates
sympathy for the character of Jane Eyre.

Just concentrate on your work, everyone.
You've got 12 minutes to get the

answer. Mrs. Qureshi. Mr. Cleaver.

I was teaching materials that you
wanted.

Yeah, thank you.

Mr Cleaver.

My pleasure.

Carry on with your work, guys.

Oh.

Oh, my gosh.

Miss, you dropped your knickers.

Yeah.

You can do so much better.

She's well just showing off.

Just concentrate on your work, please.

I can't believe a look.

Someone like her pulling someone like Mr
Cleaver.

Probably just trying to be kind. Thanks,
Alicia.

I don't think teachers should be
allowed.

Not with each other. It's not fair
enough.

I know. It's like the images have been
burnt into my brain.

Come on, get back to work. Yeah, but
Miss, it's not me throwing my knickers

the floor now, is it?

We've got ten minutes.

So, they take £15 ,000 on the door. The
promoter takes 15%.

The remaining balance is split between
the band in the ratio 2 to 3 to 5.

15 grand.

Some pricey dough. Was it made from
gold?

So how much does each band member get?

Anyone?

The total number of shares is what?

10. And 13 and a half grand divided by
10 is what?

1 ,350.

Therefore, the split is...

2 ,700, 4 ,050 and 6

,750 to the lead singer.

Which isn't bad considering he probably
mimed to a backing track.

And what with the bar takings, the
vending machines and the cloak rooms,

club doesn't do too badly either.

Thank you.

You all right, love?

Listen, do you fancy a takeaway tonight,
eh?

I've got an outing, and after a day of
random inspection, I will not fancy

to the shop.

You like?

Um, it's meant to be a treat.

Sorry. Can Earl come round for dinner
tonight? Oh, Max, are you... Steph,

serious.

Me and Earl, we're thinking about
starting a family.

A family?

Yeah, that's right.

With Earl Kelly?

Maxine, you can't be serious.

I know what you think. It's not like
that.

We've been talking about it and planning
it, and it's changed. It really has.

Oh, Max.

Steph, you should hear him. You should
hear how he talks about having a baby,

how he talks about me.

Because he's telling you what you want
to hear, so that he can twist you around

his little finger like he does with
everybody else. You're wrong. He loves

Max, if I had a pound for every time...
This is different.

Max.

Sir, we've done this before. You don't
do poetry, Langley.

Repeated study enhances our
understanding and our enjoyment.

Miss Shackleton, I'm sure Miss Fellows
would be interested in your

input into a lesson like this.

Is everything ready for Miss Fellows? I
thought you were showing up. What have

you thought wrong?

Again?

Rachel, haven't we been over this?

Have you talked to Eddie yet? No. As I
keep telling you, there is no need

because I applied for the divorce months
ago. Right, so you're just going to

keep on lying to him in the hope that
it's going to come through before you

commit bigamy? I'm not lying to him,
Rachel.

You're hardly telling the truth, are
you? I don't know what you're talking

about. Anyway, you're basing all this on
the words of a child.

Yes, I am. He's your son and he's afraid
you are going to commit a crime. Look,

everything is going to be fine when the
divorce comes through. Oh, right.

If it ever does come through.

You don't believe me, do you? No, I
don't, Melissa. I don't believe you at

And why should I? Look at Paul Reddy. He
believes you're single. And what's it

going to do to him?

Hello,

Miss Vallis.

So are you ready for your full -on
whistle -stop tour of Waterloo Road's

extended services?

Sounds hugely exciting, but I've got
that down for period three.

I'm looking for a year nine history
class. Well, let me show you the way.

It's very easy to lose your bearings
around here.

I'm gone. You know, I have a baby with
her.

We were just talking about it.

What, now?

Yeah. Are you mad?

You're as bad as Steph. How come
everyone was happy for Chloe?

All I mean is, babies are usually
accidents, aren't they? Exactly, but

not like that. He's planning it.

We're going to get a place so when the
baby comes, it's in a proper home.

He's all day dark.

That's not good, that did. She's always
hated her.

Well?

You and all, eh, Janice?

No.

Do you know what people say?

They don't know him and neither do you.

You should have heard him. He knew all
about the other baby. He understands

it's a big deal for me.

He really cares, you know. But still.

But nothing.

Janice.

He's supposed to be my best mate.

Max, did you see what I bought?

He had to go somewhere. Appointment with
your social worker.

Oh, wait a minute. That was yesterday.

He just left. Call him and ask him if
you want.

What?

Janice, Earl means everything to me.

He makes me feel dead special. But if
you can't be happy for me, then...

But, you know... I just saw Rob with
Balton.

Yeah, they're going to be training every
day from now on.

He's quite full on, isn't he?

Rob? Just a little.

Whatever he does, he does to the max.

No, I mean with Balton.

How do you mean?

Well, the way he pushes him, it's...
Yeah, Rob's a motivator.

He sees his role as unlocking the kid's
potential.

No, but... But what, Davina?

What are you trying to say?

Well, from what I saw, it didn't look
good.

You know, he was standing over him,
shouting at him.

Excuse me, ladies.

Oh, Jess, I... I even saw him kick him,
OK?

No.

Rob wouldn't do that. He's not like
that.

I'm telling you because...

Because from what I saw, it looked like
bullying.

Look, with a baby, we'll get priority on
the council. Won't we? We'll be set up.

We're going to live as the least of it.

Think of all the things that are going
to change.

I want things to change.

Earl will be a brilliant dad.

Can't see that happening.

You don't know him like I do. And his
sister?

Exactly, did he talk to you about his
feelings and stuff?

He doesn't have any. Not any normal
ones, anyway.

There you go, see, you've got no idea.

Well,

there's the man himself.

Who's that?

Oh, look at the state of her.

Oh,

that's that Jade Donaghy. She was in his
last class at his old school.

And what's she doing here?

Playing trucks.

Nah, she's probably at the streets and
he's just pimping her. Shut up!

I'll go anywhere. Just get off me!

I want the money or you're getting
nothing!

What?

Like I said, she's run back home.

It's a long way to come to say hello.
She just turned up.

She's mentally... It's like she's
stalking me or something.

But why is she even here? She'll look
like a junkie. Tell me about it.

I was just trying to help the girl, but
now she won't leave me alone.

So why not be straight with me?

Because she means nothing.

Not compared to what we're talking
about.

So you're not selling her drugs or
anything?

What? No.

And she's not on the game?

Max, whatever her problem is, it's
nothing to do with me. She was just in

area begging for money.

And you know me, I was just trying to do
the decent thing.

But I just didn't want you and the
social worker to see me with her.

And you and this Jade, were you ever an
item?

Yeah, but years ago.

And Max, she's got nothing on you.

And I'm not going to let that skank
screw us two up.

Max, you are everything that I want.

Yeah?

Yeah.

And I can't wait until tonight.

Why? What's happening tonight?

Well, you tell me. What, if we're going
to be having a baby?

I want to be ready for this.

Organised. Well, that doesn't mean
that... We've got to practice, haven't

I always thought Maxine was quite
sussed.

She has chosen the nastiest, most
untrustworthy little scrote going.

I'm sure most parents of teenage girls
feel a little bit like that about their

boyfriends. Earl isn't exactly your
average scrope, though, is he? She's

it to wind me up.

It isn't about you.

That's easy for you to say, Matt.

Yeah, maybe, but it's not like you
kicking off is going to change Maxine's

is it?

Meet her halfway.

Meaning? Why don't you give Earl a
chance?

Talk to him.

Matt's right.

If you're going too hard, you're just
going to push them closer together.

then you're going to be stuck with a
little sod.

Don't tell me I have to like him, Tom.
OK, forget Al.

Make this about you and Maxine. Show her
that you're on her side, no matter

what. But if you do him best, you know,
then he's going to lose his rebellious

appeal. She'll look elsewhere.

Reverse psychology.

Parental approval, the great passion
killer.

Everybody thought that Sam was a lost
cause from a family of hopeless cases,

all she ever needed was a chance, a bit
of time, a bit of respect.

She's a lucky girl.

Yeah, he might well be heading home
today.

How did we end up like this?

Have you heard us?

None of us have had kids, but here we
are, a trio of anxious parents worrying

about our troublesome teenagers.

It's certainly gone fast.

Well, some schools are in serious denial
about pupil parenting. Here, we try to

give them as much support as possible.

Some people might say that by supporting
them, you're encouraging them. Well,

all we're doing is helping them continue
their education. Here, a mum is

learning and she's getting help with
childcare.

Plus, a lot of our other students like
to help out here.

Hi, ma 'am.

Which means they have a much better idea
of what's actually involved when it

comes to making their own decisions.

So you're seeing it work as a deterrent?

Hand on series can only be a good thing.

The more mum knows, the better for
everyone.

Maxine.

Nobody wants to stop you doing what you
want with your life.

I've always thought you'll make a
smashing mum.

You could afford me.

It's just, you're so young. Why not wait
a bit?

I'm old enough. It's not like it'll be
my first time. Yeah, but that's just it.

You know how big a deal it is.

Why don't you at least wait till after
your exams, eh? Give yourself a chance.

Earl doesn't want to.

And what do you want?

We want the same. That's why Earl's
special.

Oh, Maxine.

We all... want to have a bit of fun but
having a baby with the likes of earl

kelly because you're an expert on all
this having kids and relationships yeah

What? You been inspected yet?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, he seemed really nice.

Really? Good.

Did you strain things out with Philip?

I hope so. Has he said anything to you,
has he? No.

You and Rachel were niggling at each
other earlier.

Yeah, you know, sister stuff.

So between her and Philip, you're not
exactly flavour of the month, are you?

No. Oh.

You'd better not fall out with me then,
are you really, in this duck?

Hey, sort it out with Rachel, whatever
it is. It doesn't do anyone any good to

work in an atmosphere like that.

Hey.

I'm sorry about earlier.

Sorry about all this... mess.

I don't want to muck Eddie around, you
know that.

Then don't.

I'm sorry too.

I've probably been way too heavy -handed
about the whole thing, haven't I?

You have a bit.

It's just because Philip was so upset
about it, Melissa.

I mean, you and Eddie, you're both
adults and you've both been round the

few times.

But Philip, he's...

Well, as you know, he's at a very
difficult age, and it's going to be hard

enough for him to see you get married
again without all... I know, I know. I

think he feels very conflicted. He
really likes Eddie, but his dad is still

dad, and I've just got to make the whole
thing worse.

Come on. It's easily fixed, eh?

Eh?

When everything's straightened out and
your divorce comes through, like you

all this will be forgotten.

And I think that you three can be... You
can be really happy together, can't

you?

All sorted.

Thanks, Rach.

Thank you. OK.

It's saying that things can only be
perfect in our minds, not in the real

OK. Yeah, and that you've got to accept
life the way it is.

Things can't always be perfect.

Good.

Voting with your feet, Dante.

Hemingway would have been proud. I'm
not.

I've got to go. I've got an appointment.

Quick as you can.

Right. Back to the real world.

Maxine. I've got to go to the toilet.

Can't it wait till break?

No, sorry.

Anyone else?

Sorry, Minister Clarkson, but I actually
need to get to my next talk.

Settle down.

Jade, isn't it?

You looking for her?

Yeah. Do you know where she is?

Yeah, but you can't do this today.

But I need my money.

Some of it at least.

Earl wants to help his kind, but you
can't understand that... Kind?

Are you joking, aren't you?

Like I said, he wants the help. I don't
want help.

I want my money.

Your money.

Ed, come back here.

If money's all you're after, he hasn't
got a lot of it.

We need it.

You can't just turn up and bleed us dry.

You what?

What, do you want it for a drug?

No. What then?

For the baby.

What baby?

Earl's baby.

That's what I want the money for.

Oi! Come back!

Whoa.

I'm nervous.

I don't see why you're so nervous.

It's exciting, babe.

It is what it is.

Our little baby on screen.

And you two are going where?

Hospital, miss.

Are you okay?

Prenatal scan.

Yeah, and we're going to be late if we
don't.

Quite a production line you've got
going.

You're lying!

There's no baby. You're just trying hard
to get money out of him.

So how old is it then?

Three days.

You think I normally look like this?
Because you're lying!

You're just trying hard to get cash out
of Will because you know that he's soft

like that.

Come and see it if you like.

Finish that, yeah.

What does it look like?

I've only got one pair of hands.

If you want to have done faster, we
should have hired an octopus.

They'd have to be cheap to cover our
profit margins.

Rose, could I have a word?

It's about your Earl.

Oh, what's he done now? Nothing. It's
just that now that he and Maxine are

dating, I thought we might have a little
chat. Our last one was a bit awkward.

Sure, he's not on anything, only I've
lost him. No, no, no, no. It's just he

I got off on the...

The wrong foot, as it were.

That'll be Earl.

He's always been like that. First day at
nursery, smacked a key worker in the

mouth with a boseman hat on. A kid, eh?

Anyway, I just little thought kept one
of her teeth in his pocket all the way

through primary.

A trophy, the psychologist said.

Ayrshire's deep, Tom. He's a smashing
lad. I'm sure he is.

Just talk to him. He responds to that,
you know, sure we all do.

He'd really appreciate that from you.
He's crazy about your Maxine.

There you go.

Good, healthy heartbeat.

That's our baby, Chloe.

That's our baby.

You are going to be the best mum on
earth.

And I swear, I'm going to do everything
I can to help you.

Our baby.

Oh, yeah, right. You left the baby here
all alone with your... He's been doing

that, like, all the time. He's doing my
head in. Please, just do something.

I can't stand it.

I know I shouldn't have left him.

But he was crying and crying and I
didn't have any cash left.

And I went answering my calls.

This is really Earl's baby.

Now can I have my money?

I've got like 12 quid.

Well, forget it then.

What? That'll do for nappies and stuff.

Where's the rest?

The five grand.

For the baby.

What? I don't care what Earl says.

I just want my money and I want rid of
it as soon as possible. That was the

deal. You're going to sell this baby?

Yeah.

And Earl knows this?

Of course, it was his idea.

To begin with, he was all, we're going
to start a family and it'll be great,

then he came back and said we'd both be
quids in if we flogged it.

Are you okay with that?

Yeah.

I mean, being here's not great, but we
had to stop social workers getting it.

But five grand's loads.

What else am I going to do?

Play happy family?

With him?

Get out of it.

I'd rather die.

Yeah, great. Thanks for asking.

I just thought we might have a little
chat.

You know, seeing as how we're going to
be seeing a fair bit of each other with

you and Max being, well, you know.

Do you know what, Steph? I'd love to,
but I'm really busy right now.

But I'll tell you what, I'm coming round
to yours later, so maybe we can do it

then.

Yeah?

What's for tea?

Oh, better yet, surprise me.

See you later.

If you can say it about me and my
coaching, then you can say it to my

Yeah?

It was a private conversation.

With a friend.

Oh, well, that makes it all right then,
doesn't it?

Yeah.

I said it looked like you were bullying
him.

Right. And the way you're acting now
makes me think that I was right.

What's going on?

Nothing. Just a bit of backstabbing.

Did you expect me not to tell? And so
what?

I'm supposed to turn a blind eye, am I?
Oh, grow up. It was coaching.

Oh, grow up, mate. A man hurling abuse
at a school kid. You ought to keep a

shorter leash on her, mate. She doesn't
know what she's talking about.

So you're saying you didn't kick him
either?

No, I didn't kick him. Well, you're a
liar and a bully then. You're the liar.

What are you, jealous or something?

Jealous of having a bully as a
boyfriend? You don't shut up about that.

Tom,

leave! Tom, leave it!

Hey! Tom! Rob!

What's going on?

Never mind me.

I'll speak to you later.

Want more, you reckon?

No, just a couple of stragglers.

Here you go, love.

Your sausages.

Hey,

we did good, didn't we? Yeah, just like
normal.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

We were in charge. We did it.

Oh, look, go on, get going. No, no, I
wasn't...

Go on, get going.

And I want you to promise me that you'll
come back and tell me how it went.

Oh, you ain't going to want to see me if
it goes badly. It won't.

Come here.

Oh, look.

You've done lots already.

And if you can convince me, a social
worker will be a walkover.

Go on, darling.

Just eat quick, yeah? Cos that food on
your cheek where you keep mucking your

mouth.

Dead sexy, that is.

Sure.

I guess at least your mum gets to feed
you guys up at lunchtime.

Myself a bit.

Yeah, normal times from now on.

Not if it goes well at the social.

What?

Nothing, just... It's good to see you as
a positive.

Where have you been?

I couldn't find you at dinner.

I've lost my appetite.

What?

You and me.

Over.

Finished.

You're dumping me. Oh, well done.

Well, what about tonight?

Well, there's EastEnders, followed by...
Max, what's going on? As if you didn't

know.

This morning we were...

Try it on someone who doesn't think
you're scum.

I know.

Know what?

Whatever anyone said is lies.

Earl, I've spoken to Jade.

What? That skank?

I've held the baby. I know what you were
going to do to it.

That's Jade's baby.

I wish I had never said...

Miss Mason, come down for a game?

No, actually, it was... It was boxing
that I wanted to have a word about, and

fighting in general.

Yeah, what happened in the staff room
was completely unacceptable, and I

apologise for my part in it.

I mean, it is bad enough having the kids
square up against each other, but

teachers, in front of an inspector... I
know, I apologise.

It won't happen again, I promise.

Good.

It's the cause of the argument that I'm
worried about.

People just don't understand what we're
doing.

Well, that just means that we have to be
all the more careful.

But you of all people know that boxing
in schools is controversial.

Don't make it any more so.

I'm teaching Bolton to hit and to be
hit. And to do that, he's got to be

And it's my job to toughen him up.

You cannot approach it in the same way
as any other subject.

Rob, this is a quiet word.

Adina does not know what she's talking
about.

I'm not accusing you or confronting you.

I am quite happy to keep boxing as an
option here. It just means that you have

to make sure that you handle it the
appropriate way, okay?

Huh? Yeah.

We'll have to come under scrutiny and
criticism at times. It's just part of

job.

Maybe Bolton isn't the only one who
needs to toughen up, you know.

It's just sick.

It's disgusting.

I just feel so stupid.

I really thought it was changing.

That I'd seen a side of him no one else
had.

And then I find out about this.

He's just a dog. He's not worth it.

I've been going around telling everyone
how serious he was about me.

How they were wrong about him.

Then this.

Do you reckon he was going to sell yours
or not?

I don't know.

No, it doesn't matter.

Who wants to be with someone like that?
Someone who could do that?

Wait until everyone finds out why you
dumped him. Realise what a scumbag he

I can't help no one, okay?

How stupid would I look then?

Or will they think I was part of it? No,
they won't. That poor little thing.

It's never done anything to anyone.

But it's got them two for parents.

Not for long. Not if it's got anything
to do with it. Definitely not.

Way I'm letting them sell it.

Anyone's better than them two.

It'll go to someone that wanted it.

But who?

Some freak of it, isn't it?

Earl's not going to get hurt as long as
he gets his money.

If you grass them up, everyone's going
to know.

I'm not having that baby on my
conscience.

No way.

If Steph and everyone says I told you so
and I'm fair enough, they were right.

Earl's not going to be happy.

about anyone else's feelings and the
whole of his life for him.

Well, you know what to do then. Just a
phone call and it's over.

No,

Sambuca.

It's not press one for sale to hold a
speech to an operator.

Friends should be spoken with feeling.
It should be spoken with love.

Steph. Yes, Maxine, how can I help you?

I need to talk to you.

Well, quickly.

Outside.

After the class would be more suitable,
Maxine.

Right.

I'm sorry, Steph.

I'm sorry.

Bolton. Can you pass the boots down,
please?

Just because you're not going to read
them, Smiley, no need to chuck them

Rob told me.

Well, you had no right to.

Just leave us alone.

This is the best thing I've ever done
and you're messing it up.

I was concerned for your welfare.

Don't turn this into some sort of a
theatrical performance.

But that's Miss Shackleton, sir.

One of them do -gooders that's always
sticking her nose in.

Sorry for being so snappy this morning.

I spoke to Rachel and I've smoothed
things over with her.

With Rachel?

Yeah. I've explained that the wheels are
in motion and it's only a matter of

time before your dad and I are legally
divorced.

Yeah, but it's not just you and my dad,
is it?

Philip.

Well, you were still married when you
married my dad and until you thought

out, you're a bigamist.

Don't say that word.

You're going to be a double bigamist.

People go to prison for that, Mum.

What I'm not going to, am I? Because no
one's going to blab about it, are they?

It's not fair on Eddie, though, is it?

Look, Phil.

Phil, we can't tell Eddie.

If we do, he's not going to stick
around, really.

If you want to let a few bureaucratic
details ruin my life, well, our life,

you just go ahead. You do what you have
to do.

The baby's in it. The first of them
boarded up houses on Dunn Street.

Be quick, please. It's urgent.

OK.

I don't think I can face going back out
there.

It's easy to all wag off on one
condition.

In what? You cheer up. This is over and
done with now.

If I have to spend the rest of the day
with my idea, I'll take the chances on

budging. Come on.

And you'd better switch that off as
well.

Yeah, come on, let's get out of here.

Max, it's me.

Look, I'm sorry I couldn't talk to you
before.

Can you just give me a ring and let me
know you're OK?

Hi. Hello?

Have you seen Max? He's not in class.

I'm not cropped with her. I'm just
worried about her.

Is this Chuck Dirl?

Chuck Dirl? Why? What's he done?

I don't know.

She was furious with him earlier.

He looked well -mental.

So how did the day go?

Well, I set out to cover a wide cross
-section of subject, activity and age

group. But, uh, overall... Uh, overall?

The range of social problems that
affects your students is acutely

But the way the school rises to the
challenge is impressive.

You've taken a brave step in extending
the reach of the school beyond the

classroom.

And in the main, it's been successful.

There's clear progress in all areas
highlighted at your last full

And the postural care is really good,
particularly in the case of the Kelly

family. There are weak points, but
nothing drastic.

You should be proud.

Thank you.

And?

They can come home.

Oh. All of them? Yay!

Oh,

today has been the best day.

Sounds like having you.

My mum says we can go back to my
brother.

Which should be a laugh, we'd lot back
together.

Just hope it works out.

Yeah, of course.

Never has done it, Pat.

Not all my family.

Just one crisis after another.

Well...

This time will be different.

And besides, you'll have a say in how it
works out. You should be positive.

Yeah? Yeah, it's really good news.

You keen to get rid of me?

No, of course not.

I want what's best for you.

You're only joking.

I wasn't.

Sam, I want you to be happy.

And if you ever need any help, or if...

You just need a space to chill.

I'm here, okay?

Tell your mum that I'm happy for her,
too.

Why don't you tell her yourself?

You're having to do what I asked
tonight. You should come round.

No, no, no.

It's a family thing.

But if she ever needs my help, then I'm
here, okay?

See you later.

Come for a drink.

Help me drown my sorrows.

I've got to go and check on Maxine, make
sure she's okay.

Oh, what's up?

Earl Kelly.

Good old Earl, eh? Oh, give the lad a
break. He really stepped up to the plate

today.

Shit, you're out Nigella, what's the
thing? I thought this is the least I

do. I was so mean to Steph earlier on.

You know what, even if you binned him, I
reckon that'll do the trick all

together, mate.

You know what the best thing is?

After him, anyone's going to seem like
Prince Charming. No way, I am done with

boys. Nothing but aggro.

I'm going to become a nun.

Yeah, right.

I'm dead Syrian.

Bye -bye.

Are you joking?

The nose on him would be like snogging
an elephant.

Leave him at Dermot? No, wait. He went
out with Tanya Evans. He'd need

disinfecting. Pete Williamson?

Oh. All right, if you're twisting my
arm.

What?

You need to listen to me.

Out the way.

Out the way.

Move out the way.

Nothing you say is going to make any
difference to her.

Besides, you can't come in here telling
her what to do. She dumped you. I'd deal

with it.

Get out.

Do you think you are?

I said get out.

It's got nothing to do with you.

What are you doing here? Why bring the
gun?

Because I need you to listen to me.

All this is... It's a misunderstanding.

But you're not letting me explain.

And you need a gun for that?

Please? I need you right now.

Oh, Barry!

Hey! Oh!

Oh, I'm so proud of you.

All of you, even Earl, wherever he's got
to. He should be here, but it doesn't

matter because we're all under the same
roof now and that's the important thing

is nothing ever tears this family apart
again, yeah?

Put the kettle on then, yeah? Oh, yeah,
I've got some really nice cake.

Come on.

Come on.

All of it was for you, you know.

Everything.

Why do you think I waited until now to
start talking about a family?

You thought you found someone else
stupid enough to let you get him

You and Jade are completely different.

How can you compare yourself to that
flag?

That money would have set us up, Max.

Ten grand.

For us.

For our baby.

Just like a proper family.

And what about Jade's baby?

Who cares?

The social services will be all over it
now anyway.

How can you talk about family when you
don't care what happens to your own

child?

But we'd be different, Maxine.

Because we love each other.

You know what?

Listening to you now, I reckon you must
be even madder than what everybody said

you were.

Max, I'm sorry.

I was so happy, but now... What you've
done... I

despise you.

Max.

You can't keep saying these things.

Why are you doing this to me, Maxine?

I'd do anything for you.

Nothing you do is any good, Earl. Max.

Only happy when everyone around you is
miserable or scared.

Everything you touch is poison and
twisted.

Sick little boy.

They'll come in, Max. I swear they'll
help you.

I'm here.

I'm here.

I'm sorry.

Max.

Don't leave me, Max.

Please don't leave me.

No.

Maxie. No.

Well, thanks for your input.

It's been a pleasure.

Careful.

You'll be saying that to you soon, and
I'll know you're lying.

She didn't listen to me.

I tried.

She didn't listen.

never have even been at this school.

Anyone else would have slung him out
ages ago, but not us.

We had to keep him as a little pet
project to show how progressive we were.

Is this bad enough for you, eh?

She died at birth.

And that magazine was doing it with me.

Oh, Steph, let's get you out of here.

Come on.

It was her home.

She should have been safe here.

She should have been safe with me.
