All language subtitles for Waterloo Road s05e03

Morning, Jo.

Morning, Steph.

How are you today?

Oh, you know me.

Half DM and all that. Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. I just wanted to
check in on my troops, you know.

Well, this is one little soldier you
don't have to worry about.

New leaf turned over, nose to the
grindstone.

I'm really glad to hear that.

See you later.

See you later.

That's outblown.

It's a cup of banana.

Cup of banana?

You know what I mean.

Mum's bail hearing's in the paper today,
so whatever anyone says, just ignore

it, OK?

What? Mum's going to be home by the end
of the day.

All that matters.

Yeah? Yeah, by tea time, she'll be back
where she belongs.

So will we, no more Aunt Julie.

See, it's more like it.

Hello. Morning.

Morning. How are we?

Jim? Senior management's in ten?

Mm -hmm. Yeah.

Uh, Lindsay James.

We've had her anthem this morning.

Apparently she hasn't exactly been a
delight at home, so I said we'd keep an

on her.

Okay. Let's check with the subject
teachers.

Make sure we're not missing anything.

Faith.

Morning.

You can't go on like this, Tom.

It just doesn't make any sense.

I mean, why would you make up something
like that?

Maybe he's not.

But he has to be.

It was only the once. We were really
careful.

What do you mean if he's got no reason
to lie, have we?

Just going on what he's been told and
everything he knows about you he's got

from his mum.

If anyone's lying.

Anyhow, we'll find out soon enough.

I'm going to go and see her today.

Yeah?

Yeah, I'm free all afternoon. I'll nip
off then. Well, if you're really

it, I could come with you.

Well, because that wouldn't be awkward
at all, would it?

The students, they don't get up till
lunchtime.

And just because you give your number to
a boy doesn't mean he's going to mind

you. I don't.

You mean she's not been home?

Well, Bob, my parents think I was at her
house, and her parents think she was at

mine. Are you still drunk?

I don't know. It's only about a week's
put away.

I'm fine, but I'm a queen over there.

Hey, shut up!

Scramble? Who is it, Tyler?

Max? What is school?

This isn't school. This is my office.

Your office?

It's one of the perks of the job.

Come. Morning.

Hey, Chris. How's it going? Yeah, great.

Hi, Kim. Hiya.

Ah, Rachel.

Right.

Well, we'll get straight to it. If we're
serious about exam results and

improving our league table positions, we
need every single teacher at the top of

their game.

A single standard of excellence across
the school.

Which has always been our aim.

What we really need is a one -off,
across -the -board assessment by all

departments starting today.

Can we do that?

Absolutely. No time like the present.

Shall we?

Don't you think it might backfire?

Some of the staff may feel it shows a
lack of trust.

I've been talking to Jo Lipset. She's
ready to start today.

What, you've already set this up?

The results in her department are
certainly below what we're after,

her exemplary record.

Right, and the staff are being assessed.
Do they know about it? We want to see

how they really teach from day to day,
and if they're good enough, then why

wouldn't they be?

No problem, is there?

Morning, everyone.

As you all know, years seven and nine
are out on field trips today.

So this gives us the perfect opportunity
to start our new staff -wide teacher

assessment. You are all going to be
monitored in class by your head of

department starting today.

Well, just install CCTV and be done with
it, George, or we'll eat your heart

out.

Think of it as a clean slate.

New school, new standards, new start.

We'll let you know more as and when. In
the meantime, if you have any questions,

Rachel will be happy to answer them.

Departmental head, I'd like an update at
the end of play.

Today?

Yes, Tom, if that's not too much
trouble.

That's all I need.

Oh, don't worry about it. Just window
dressing.

Executive head flexing his muscles.
Look, I'd be fine if they didn't expect

to do any actual teaching.

Are you ready for the off stuff?

What do you mean?

Well, the assessment Mr. Palowich was
talking about.

Yours starts this morning, first period.

But... Oh, don't worry. Just act like
I'm not there.

Anyway, I'm very keen to see this new
leaf you've turned over.

And you're like, oh my God, I'm fine.
I'm no woman.

Unlike you, I swear you're eyeballing a
fire extinguisher.

Careful.

What's going on?

Nothing. Nothing?

You stink of alcohol. Where have you
been?

Nowhere. We're just tired from studying.

Yeah, right. And I'm Beyonce.

Look, you two better sort yourselves
out.

I am not having you coming into my
lesson letting me down in front of the

of modern languages.

Okay? Go on.

Too good at that, innit?

Anyway, I'm going to get off now, so
I'll talk to her, shouldn't I?

See you in a bit.

All right, mate.

How do you do it?

Get them to notice you like that.

All right.

Have you got someone in mind?

Nah. Nah, not at all, to be honest,
mate. Just wondering, you know, for

reference. All right, yeah. Course.

Future. So, come on, then. What's the
secret?

Well, obviously good luck's help.

To be honest, mate, yours won't.

Thank you.

Don't worry about it.

But the next thing a girl wants is a guy
who makes them laugh. Works every time

I'm telling you.

Look at Johnny Vegas.

See you then, mate.

Very good, Denzel.

But what do the others think?

Anyone?

What was the passage about?

Denzel.

First it was about a dog.

Then it was about a boy who falls in
love with his mother.

Not quite, but a good try. Anyone else?

It's about a man describing how he loves
the sea.

Thank you.

Le maire, the sea, la mère, the mother.

Anything else?

OK, read your worksheets and answer the
questions carefully and take your time.

They're very slow this morning.

What an uncountable creature is that
brother of mine to send them to the

of an inn?

Ha -ha, don't... wonder at this
impudence.

Oh, come on. Who's reading the maid?

What?

Danielle, it's not like you.

Look, if you can't be bothered to read
aloud, at least do us the courtesy of

trying to stay on the right page.

We wouldn't want to waste our head of
department's time, would we?

Right, someone else read it, Trill.

But what is more, madam?

Just get a grip.

Stop being such a lightweight, yeah?

Ask me if you were barmaid. He mistook
you for the barmaid.

You're coasting there, Steph.

It's like you dug out some old worksheet
that you've been using since you

qualified.

In subsequent lessons, I want to see...
Subsequent lessons?

What I want to see is a sharper focus, a
clear command of the syllabus and a

little bit of classroom control.

If an exercise isn't working, then you
make it work.

Or you just try something else. You
don't blame the kids.

You're there to teach them stuff. You
have to give them what they need to

Okay. Got it.

Look, I'm here to help you.

All right? I am not here to try and
catch you out.

Why don't you give me your lesson plans
beforehand and I can help you get them

into shape?

Lesson plans?

Won't that ruin the surprise?

Jo?

How's it going?

OK. I'm just getting started, really.

Don't be afraid to come down on her
heart. She's exactly the kind of teacher

who's been holding this place back.

Hang on a minute. I mean, aren't either
one doing the assessment?

Yes, yes, of course. But you said
yourself, Steph's a poor performer,

questionable attitude.

This would be the perfect opportunity.

Look, Max, I would feel much happier
having this conversation after I've

actually assessed her, yeah?

You're right.

All I'm saying is if we send out a clear
message to the others, it should be the

perfect place to start.

Yeah, you know what we need about the
group?

Girls today, eh, Bolton?

Shocking.

I don't know why he's baffled with them
clubs, man. They're a rip -off.

Maybe we like them, because guys like
you don't go there.

Yeah, you're right.

I don't go to them because they're full
of girls like you getting sleeved up by

greasy older guys.

He has got a point, though.

I mean, why do you go to those places
when you've got talent?

Right here.

Leave it out, will you? I'm close enough
to perceive who that is.

Having a dog's what you need.

It works every time.

We're in school if you have a noise.

Right,

three or four times and see if the
results vary.

Yeah, that's enough.

Problem four.

Erm... Yes, the retard stand that
keeps... Yeah, cupboard down there, box

left.

Right.

I don't know how you can be so calm.

I've got all this and I don't even know
when I'm being assessed yet.

Oh, Helen, when you've been doing this
job as long as I have, it takes more

some assessment to get the wind up you.

I'm prepared.

At all?

We have to have a lesson plan for every
class at John Foster's.

Normally you see I do my work up here,
but if Mr Tyler wants us to write it

down, then... I know we can be a bit
severe, but...

He is a pretty inspirational leader.

Really.

So is Mussolini.

I'm not sure I've ever seen you plan a
lesson before.

And you still haven't, Tom.

I went on the computer and found some
old B .Ed. student coursework.

Right, you lot, get on with your work. I
just need a word with Miss May.

What are you doing? You wanted hair of
the dog?

Ethanol. The chemical name for alcohol.

Your cocktail awaits, madam.

I'm not drinking chemicals.

Dear, everything is a chemical.

And this is alcohol.

No?

Go.

Yeah, it's not bad man, not bad at all.

No way I'm not drinking that.

Now he's lightweight.

I don't know if you noticed, right, you
see these kids on TV, these teenagers,

and they look fantastic.

You know, they've got brilliant hair,
lovely clothes, very glamorous, but in

reality, they just look like me.

Are you doing stand -up?

Um, no. No, that's not what I'm doing.

Oh, so it must be rap.

Did you want something?

It's nothing to be ashamed of. I love
stand -up. Come on, let's see it.

Nah, no way. Come on, I can give you
feedback.

No. Go on, just one tiny little joke.

One teensy weensy little... Just get
out.

Okay. I don't need to be like that.

Ros.

Stupid. Oh, hi, hi.

Shut up.

Have some of this.

No. I want that, what's it?

Hairy dog.

Just drink some of this so we don't get
busted.

Is everything okay?

There's only one miss, Ada.

What's going on? She's in a worse state
than she was before.

I don't understand.

Well, she can't go walking around like
this. She'll be excluded in a heartbeat.

We're in your class next.

No, you're not. There is no way she can
come into my class. I'm being inspected.

I cannot believe that you picked today
of all days.

I was hoping that you two were going to
dazzle Miss Lipset with your brilliance.

Now there's more chance of her knocking
her out with her breath.

Quick, get her in there. Get her a glass
of water and she can sleep it off.

And listen, if anybody finds her, we
never had this conversation, all right?

you, young lady, I want you on top form
for period four. Get her in.

What?

Keep it between me and you.

Is

that

the stuff you gave Danielle?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You left us some of
that.

You're selling it?

Gosh,

you can't.

Danielle's hammered out of her mind.

Duh. That's what alcohol does to people.

It's good stuff, though.

It's not like normal alcohol.

Danielle only swigged it a few times.
It's just mashed.

Yeah.

If it does that to her, what do you
think it's going to do to these?

They know what they're buying.

What they do with it, that's up to them,
innit?

Until they get busted and they find out
that you've nicked it.

You're going to get a goal at three
digits.

You said it was alcohol, man.

It is.

It's just, er... Just a bit stronger or
something.

What, you don't know?

Why is this down to me? You do science
too.

Don't sell any more, okay?

Don't want that Tyler on my back again.

Can I have a red one, please?

Something for me.

Sorry.

Hiya. Hey, Bolton.

I got that bottle I sold you earlier.

Look, I told you I'd get the money. Do
you not believe me? I just need it back.

I can have your quid. Do you not think I
can handle it?

It's something like that. Just give it
here.

What are you going to do if I do it?

Oh, look, Sam, I ain't got time for
this, man. What are you doing?

What shit? What are you... What's that?

Give me...

Bien.

Maintenant, nous allons examiner l
'explanation de la piste.

Why are we doing this, Miss?

You might not find this challenging,
Carla, but just because you don't

mean... It's not challenging.

That's the problem.

The grammar's basic, the vocab is a GCSE
standard, and the piece itself feels

like it's come from a really old
textbook.

Really? Well, maybe you should swap
places with me, Carla.

Why, miss? You're the teacher.

It's just that this isn't teaching us
anything.

Well, Beth, let me be the judge of that,
eh?

Alicia.

Alicia. What?

I think you'll find the word you're
looking for is pardon.

Or, more appropriately, pardon.

Is something distracting you, Alicia?

Something that perhaps you'd like to
share with us?

No, sorry.

Then I'd like you to read section B,
please.

I don't quite believe this.

Bootlegging in a school.

It's the first for me, too.

Two of Waterloo Road's finest, isn't it?
Paul Langley and my old friend Bolton's

mine. I told you not to sell any more of
it with you.

Look, we're raking it in. What's your
problem? You two, here, now.

Ethanol.

Selling legitimate alcohol would be bad
enough.

But ethanol... Okay, who have you sold
this to?

I don't know.

Not good enough.

I don't know everyone in the school, you
know.

Do you have any idea how dangerous this
is?

Right, I think that we need to go from
cloud to cloud before someone drinks

stuff. I think we need a more direct
approach.

Joyce, you phone the fire service, tell
them it's a false alarm.

So, by the belly, I don't know what was
worse, the outdated plan or the lifeless

way you delivered it.

Anyone would think you hadn't written it
yourself, Steph.

Would they indeed?

The liquids being peddled by these two
is poisonous.

Drinking even a small amount could make
you seriously ill.

Anyone who bought some should come
forward now.

We need to collect every last drop of
this stuff, guys, so no one gets hurt.

Okay.

You leave us no choice.

Members of staff will search your
pocket.

They'll then go inside and search each
and every school bag, every locker.

There's no hiding place.

Well, Duncan, you're doing the right
thing there.

Mr. Budgen, I'll leave you in charge to
take down the names and collect all the

contrabass.

Seth? How's the assessment going?

It's me walking apart for a seasoned pro
like you.

Yeah.

Yeah, it is. Can you just...

Seth?

Danielle?

Danielle?

Danielle?

See what you should know.

I'm going to go and see your mum.

Today.

Finally decided to accept the truth,
then?

Josh, I don't know why your mum's told
you what she did.

But it just isn't true.

But it can be.

Oh, so mum's a liar now.

Is that what you're saying?

No.

Mistaken, maybe.

So not only did you just walk away and
leave us, you then have the nerve to

blame us just to cover your own arse.

Josh. So leave me alone.

Josh.

What is going on?

Danielle, I think she's drunk some of
that stuff.

Why do you say that?

Oh, my God, Danielle.

Epinol? Where did she get hold of that?

She stole it from school.

What concentration was it? I don't...
And how much did she have? I can't

it was a lot.

It doesn't have to be with ethanol.

If you could find out how much she'd
have, that'd be great.

Can't you just pump her stomach?

No point.

By now, she'll have absorbed it all into
her fist, and all we can do is keep an

eye on her, monitor the damage and not
the best.

I've never heard anything like it in my
life. An illicit alcohol rave here in

school. I can think of worse things.

Like what?

Knives, guns, drugs.

Should be this place's motto.

Alcohol is a drug.

But this was ethanol, which they stole.
Well, which I let them steal from my

classroom. Don't know why they bothered.

Tastes like shoe polish and gives you a
splitting headache.

But they were selling it as alcohol,
weren't they? Because that's what the

wanted. I can't believe you're defending
them.

Well, I'm not.

But the kids will be drinking, whether
they're buying it from Paul Langley or

from a supermarket or nicking it from
home. And you think that's all right, do

you? No.

But us just saying they shouldn't, well,
that doesn't achieve anything.

Well, it doesn't teach him the dangers
or how to drink safely.

It just makes us feel like we've done
our bit.

Well, all we're really doing is washing
our hands of it.

Tooth.

Hey. Danielle, can you hear me?
Danielle?

Danielle?

Can you hear me, Danielle? I don't know.

They're saying she might have
hypoglycemia or another horrible thing.

No.

Anyway, I need the information of the
ethanol bottle.

Yeah. Well, just let us know as soon as
you hear anything.

Thank you, Steph.

Well?

It's not good.

Being monitored, but I'm just going to
have to sit and wait.

Steph clearly knew something.

Why else charge into the building like a
demented bison?

Well, under the circumstances, it's a
good job she did.

Oh, my God. Danielle!

Not now.

They're not letting her out.

What?

I'm sorry. I was sure they'd release
her, but she's got to go back to jail.

What about us?

Maybe if we tell them how much we miss
her.

You said she'd get out, Lindsay.

This isn't right.

I want to see Mum. You can't.

Not till after the trial.

What?

She's not allowed to speak to us because
we're witnesses to some crap like that.

What if they find her guilty? Em, that's
not going to happen.

How do you know?

He said she'd be home tonight, cooking
us dinner by the time we got back from

school. Em, Em, you've got to stop this,
please.

Be brave, yeah?

Mum would hate to see you like this.

That's it, good girl.

Look, you've got to trust me.

Everything's going to be okay.

It's just some stupid judge.

You've got to stay strong, yeah?

Do you have any idea what you've done?

You've risked the well -being of other
people's lives for your own personal

gain, flouted several school rules,
lowered the tone of school life, and to

it all, broken the law.

You think this is funny?

Danielle Harker's in hospital because of
you.

Look, she didn't have to drink what we
offered her.

We didn't force people to buy our stuff.

They were queuing up for it.

Supply and demand, innit?

Maybe some expect.

Max. Just because there's a demand
doesn't make it okay for you to supply.

you two did was wholly acceptable, yes?

Yes, sir.

Now, obviously, we don't know the full
extent of the damage you've done to

Danielle, but rest assured, gentlemen, I
intend to make an example of you both.

You got a problem with that?

No, sir.

This sort of dumb incident drives me
mad.

My

mum

says that your mum must have been really
frightened to do what she did.

Thanks.

It's mad, isn't it?

Any time I try to talk about it...
Lindsay just tells me, don't worry.

Mum will definitely be let out at the
trial.

She can't know that. There's always a
risk.

That's what I keep saying.

It's always, shut up, Em. Be brave, Em.

My mum says you should never bottle
things up.

Because the longer you do, the more
upset it will cause. And that'll just

the problem even worse.

It's all right for you.

But who can I talk to?

There are people that understand them.

I think she's perked up a bit.

That's just a rehydration.

Doesn't mean she's out of the woods yet.

If you're big enough to get yourself in
this state, you're big enough to take a

pinprick. She's been poisoned.

Of course she has. Never their fault, is
it?

I'm sorry, it's just the amount of time
we have to allocate to the likes of her.

Juby Teenage is all messed up.

Looks like she's one of the lucky ones.

Whatever she drank today, on top of last
night's binge, it could have caused

some real damage.

I'll check on her again in a little
while.

Philip.

Look, I'm sorry about earlier, OK? I
shouldn't have kicked off your letter.

OK, well, I'm sorry for whatever it was
I did that made you so worked up.

No, it wasn't you.

I was just... It's just, you're the last
person I thought would be doing stand

-up.

Thanks. Because you're quiet.

Shy.

Well, that's just it, isn't it?

You know, if I've got to be really
awkward and figure out what I'm going to

before I say it to one person, then it's
not much of a bigger step to being in

front of a crowd. I mean, it's no more
difficult, in theory.

You'd better get a practice in, then.

If you lose it like you did today in
front of an audience... I won't.

At least I hope not.

Well, don't, because normal Philip's
pretty funny, but mad, shouty Philip,

so much.

All right, so that's normal Philip,
funny, mad, shouty Philip, not so funny.

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

Well, I'll have to bear that in mind.

I've just proved your point, haven't I?

Mm.

Yeah, because... See you.

That's good.

I don't... I don't remember.

I don't remember much of anything.

Bits of last night, bits of school,
but... The main thing is, you're going

okay.

Yeah, right.

My dad...

School? Well, you'll have to deal with
that as and when.

For a while it was looking really
serious, Danielle.

Why did you do it?

Because it's fun.

I've had fun, Danielle, and believe me,
it doesn't end up like this.

You're a bright girl. You don't need me
to tell you that this is not right.

You have got off very lightly this time,
but you've got to be more careful.

Being that drunk, anything could have
happened to you.

And I'm not saying don't have fun. God
knows I'd be the last person to say that

to you.

Anyway, I'm going to get back to the
school and let them know you're through

worst.

Can I tell you, Doc? Mm -hmm.

Thanks.

For, you know...

So they're going to keep her in
overnight just to make sure, but they

think there's any permanent damage.

Well, that's something, I suppose, isn't
it? And I've told her that that's no

way to behave.

Staying out all night, coming into
school half -cut, you don't need to

about that. No, but what we are worried
about, Stephanie, you saw her in that

state, and then again after she drank
the ethanol, and you did nothing about

Alicia told us everything.

That amounts to professional misconduct.

Danielle is a good kid.

I didn't want her getting into trouble
for letting her hair down once in a

while. Yes, but that delay could have
resulted in her getting seriously ill or

worse. I know. And if I could turn back
the clock and do things differently,

then I would. But the main thing is that
she's OK.

I can't believe you're getting your
knickers in a twist because I didn't

to the bloody rules.

The rules are there to protect the
children.

And so are the staff.

I was trying to help her. But you're her
teacher.

You're not a mate.

Exactly.

Her mates were making it worse. You
could have nipped it in the bud.

Couldn't you?

If you'd reported Danielle when you
first saw her, there is no way she would

have ended up in hospital.

What she needed from you was protection,
Steph.

You know, a mature response.

If you'd have acted like a teacher in
the first place, none of this would have

happened, would it?

It's my fault.

Anyone else, this wouldn't have
happened.

But it was me.

Oh, Steph.

Steph, don't.

There she is.

No.

Her.

What?

No one makes my little sister cry.

We can keep that and all.

You OK?

Does it matter?

It does.

No, seriously.

You two were right.

There's me being all pally with the
kids, thinking that that's what it's all

about. And then look what happens when I
try to help them.

Look at Danielle.

Maxine.

From where I'm sitting, everything I
touch just turns to crap.

I'm sorry, Steph.

I know you've had a difficult day.

And I wish that deep down I could say
that I can see a really good teacher,

it's not true.

I like you.

I do. I really like you. But at the
moment, I don't think you're up to

in my department.

What, are you going to sack me?

No.

But if you want to stay, I want to see
some real commitment.

Proper hard work.

Yeah?

Yeah?

There you go, then.

What's this?

Well, at today's events, we all think
that you'd benefit from some retraining.

What, you're sending me back to college?

Mm -hm.

You're part -time.

Think of it as a refresher course.

Do I have to?

Yeah.

Avoid definite exclusion.

Temporary exclusion.

Alicia and Danielle?

Should be dealt with through pastoral
care.

Look, whatever happened today, Max, you
can't just punish alcohol out of these

kids' lives.

Can you?

Let's use Danielle as an example. You
saw how shaken up Alicia was.

This is a perfect opportunity to make an
issue of the problem.

Fine. Kim's a safe pair of hands.

Steph Haydock, on the other hand, I'd
happily sack in a heartbeat.

Heaven knows we've got enough cause to.

And I would rather we didn't.

Jo Lipset's already been bending my ear.

She's happy to take on responsibility
for Steph, but on a last -chance basis.

Quite a roll call, that.

Waterloo Ray's very own Dirty Dozen.

What was it you were saying this
morning, Max? Your brave speech in the

room. Clean slate?

New school, new standards. Did you
actually mean any of that?

Of course I did.

Then maybe you ought to implement it,
starting with yourself.

Because while you insist on seeing the
old Waterloo Road as the source of every

problem that we have here, this place
does not stand a chance.

Sorry, but you really need to see this.

Here she is.

Who did this?

She won't say.

I don't believe this is happening.

It seems like we're not alone in seeing
it abide between the skulls.

Carla, whoever did this to you will be
very, very sorry.

Shall we go and get you cleaned up?

Yes.

I will be glad to get out of this place
this evening.

Yeah, um, I'm not going to be able to
make it tonight.

Oh. But it's just something's come up.

A friend in need, that kind of thing.

Well, it's a shame.

But maybe another time?

Yes, sure.

Sure.

The answer I was looking for.

Anyway, back to where we were.

The character of Teresa actually changes
the rest of the play. It is such an

important point.

Just excuse me a minute.

Oh, my God.

Tom Clarkson.

Just seems that he's incapable of
accepting anything that he doesn't fully

with. I don't know if that's fair.

Look, he's so divisive.

Everything's us and them with him. It's
my way, it's my school, it's my

teachers, you know.

And he humiliated me in front of the
staff for that assessment thing.

He cuts me out of the loop at every
single chance he gets.

But... Do you not think that you would
have always found it difficult anyone

come in as the executive head?

Sure, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I might be an element of that.

But, you know, this feels like a coup.

It feels... It feels like he's trying to
take the school from me.

Anyway, where would we be without these
things to try us?

All this stuff he's coming out with, I
mean, it's like he's obsessed.

I don't know where he's getting it from.

He said you told him, but why would
you... I did.

But why?

Because it's true, Tom.

You're his father.

What?

Biologically.

But I can't be.

We took precautions.

How can you be sure?

You can't have had tests done. There was
nobody else it could have been.

I make a habit of it, you know.

Can you not see it?

His eyes.

I don't believe you. Why didn't you tell
me?

You were a student.

With a one -night stand.

Look, I know, I know I should have said
something. I can see that now, but...

We were never going to have a life
together.

Be realistic.

Oh, why did you lie to Josh then?

I didn't. You told him that I abandoned
him.

That I walked away.

I told him that you were too young and
you couldn't handle it. I was going to

tell him the truth when he was old
enough, but he just seemed to accept it.

What? That I'm some heartless git that
left him in the lurch?

You should have told us both the truth
when he came to the school. How did I

know you weren't there? You lied to him
and you lied to me.

I didn't mean any harm.

It was just an accident.

What? That you let Carrie on for 14
years?

What, all this time I've had a son and
not known about it?

I can't handle this.

Drive safer.

Take care. See you later.

Campbell. Mr.

Tyler.

Often lurk about in subcar parks, do
you? Oh, I just happened to be passing.

That was Rachel. I didn't tell her about
it. No, of course not.

Anyway, what am I going to say?

It's all so furtive. Even I don't know
what's going on.

I'm just being careful.

Maintain that balance between personal
and professional. Ah, right. Is that

it is, is it?

Of course I'm surprised a woman with
your obvious talents is struggling with

something as simple as that. My obvious
talents?

Yeah, I can explain them to you if
required.

Every bottle of wine.

I thought you'd have seen enough booze
for one day.

School.

Does this look like school to you?

No, Mr Tyler, it does not.

Well then.

Tom, look, I just wanted to say sorry
for the way this has happened.

Oh, that makes everything okay then,
doesn't it?

Tom, I know this is horrible for you.

But you've got to believe I never meant
to hurt you.

In any way.

But please don't hurt Josh.

You know, whatever happened, however
badly I've got this wrong, it doesn't

change the fact that he's your son.

You can't just walk away.

Well, that's rich.

First I don't deserve to know, and now
you're telling me I can't walk away.

Make up your mind.

Josh came looking for you.

He obviously feels he needs something
that I can't give him.

Until ten minutes ago, Josh was just
another kid that I taught. One among

hundreds.

He means nothing to me. You can't
rewrite the last 14 years.

Don't say that.

Look, I've nothing against the kid, but
there's nothing there.

Because of you.

You chose to deny my father.

Not him. Not me. You.

Tom.

Josh is completely blameless in this.

Look, I know you're angry.

You've got every right to be, but
please, I am begging you.

He's your son.
