All language subtitles for Waterloo Road s05e04

Hey, can I call you?

That's right, I'll see you at the field.

Got your garden thingy sorted.

It's a joint English art project.

Cross -curricular cooperation.

Um, Luke Pendle.

His carer and manager's been on. He
didn't get in till six o 'clock this

morning. Yeah, he's threatening to call
the police if he breaks another curfew.

All right, I'll have a word with her.

Since when did exec heads get involved
in pastoral issues?

Luke Pendle's one of our brightest kids.

And so you're best to deal with him
because of what? Okay, okay, you deal

him, but keep me informed. As soon as he
steps out of line, I want to know about

it.

This will sort out Pendle.

Start of the Tyler revolution.

Has Rachel seen us?

No, but I'm counting on you to bring her
on board.

Excuse me.

Oh, chill -out zone comes to Waterloo
Road, eh?

It's the Waterloo Road garden project.

Like the Blue Peter garden, only we
don't want people burying their dogs in

I think you might find it reported.

Do you like it a bit?

So what do you think Miss Mason's going
to do?

Carla's back today.

Mason said nothing to me.

Lindsay, everyone's saying it were you.

Just tell Miss Mason you lost it.

You're upset about your mum.

I don't need your advice, Rob.

You OK, Carla?

Yeah, she's fine.

Don't worry, Lindsay's not going to get
away with it.

I want the set changes implemented as
soon as possible.

Look, all the top set kids will be JF
pupils.

I thought we were trying to create
peace, love and harmony.

I believe in meritocracy in and out of
the classroom.

In time, standards will rise for all our
young people.

Take Luke Pendle, an extremely able
pupil.

He's displaying all the signs of
succumbing to peer pressure.

He needs challenge, he needs to be
taught by the best teachers.

Just who are the best teachers?

Exactly.

I'll decide that.

I want to hit the ground running with
this.

This school is toasting, ladies and
gentlemen.

Are you forgetting that we created a
sixth form?

Completely transformed the curriculum.

I'm not forgetting that, Tom, no.

But take your department.

High turnover of staff.

Attainment well below that of other
schools with a similar intake.

Are you telling me you're happy with
that?

I want every teacher's future plans on
my desk within a week.

We're implementing SET.

Get used to it.

I had no idea about any of this.

Light the blue touch paper.

You're not kidding.

Take your ears to the ground and see how
it goes.

It's a bit cloak and dagger, isn't it?

Black art of leadership, Chris.

I thought leadership was all about
communication and teamwork.

Leaders need to be unreasonable.

It inspires people.

Progress depends on it. Get back to me.

Mac!

Mac!

It's nice to be consulted.

Communication, teamwork to the fore
there.

Just felt we needed to move things along
a bit.

I wasn't trying to freeze you out.

You've just managed to freeze out about
half the staff room.

You're the lazy and the cynical ones. I
can live with that.

You are bringing independent school
ideas to a state.

Comprehensive. We don't do things like
that here, Max.

I gathered that.

Look, Grantley Budgin is going to be on
the phone to his union right now.

Yes, he is. And if we don't support it,
how are you going to push it through?

I've got the support of the governors.

Things are going to change, ladies.
Simple as that.

So I see.

Max, uh... Am I still her teacher?

Well, that...

Just so people know where to find me.

Good way to show how united we all are.

Like I say, it's nice to be consulted.

I've got a really good feeling about
these changes, Rachel.

How am I supposed to work with that?

Oh, get out of there. It's not even up
to school. That's not what Miss Campbell

said. I could have... The police round
here last night. Oh, whatever.

Siobhan, what are you doing here?

So this is where you live?

Is that your mum?

No. Luke, what's wrong?

There's nothing wrong. I live here, all
right.

I'm in care.

That was Debbie. She's the manager.

She's kind of like my guardian.

Where's your mum and dad?

Just leave it, yeah? I want to know
what's going on. What's to know? I live

care home. My mum couldn't look after me
and my dad. I don't even know where he

is. You said he worked not all your
week.

Why don't you tell me this? I don't have
to tell anyone where I live.

A proper home like one of those hostels
they put pedos in? No, it's because they

don't have a mum or a dad.

The lying little... He's like one of
them now.

Yeah, right, Amy, it's not that big a
deal. He's a scooper.

Amy, don't tell anyone, will you?
Please.

So, you're out of it.

I haven't finished with him.

Who does Tyler think he is, deciding on
who can teach the top sets?

Frankly, I thought you approved of Max's
autocratic approach.

Yeah, for them out there, but he can't
do this to us.

I can't believe he's put up with mixed
ability this long. How can you teach an

-star pupil in the same room as someone
who can barely write their own name?

Spot check.

Eh? I know. To see which sets we get.
Here. No.

No, that is intimidation.

Why don't you just trust in your
teachers? All this is saying is you lot

crap. Max Tyler doesn't suffer fools,
incompetents or lazy sods, Tom. And I

reckon half of this lot won't be here in
six months.

Hi. Hiya. Okay, everyone.

Welcome to the Foreign Languages
Repressor Course.

This way, please.

Well, big teacher, I suppose.

Brilliant.

Deb. Deb Haydog? Yeah.

Sheila McKesney. I'm a friend of Joe
Lipset's. Glad you could make it. Hi.

Looking forward to it? Oh, can't wait.

Joe said you were a kidder.

I can see I shall have to keep my eye on
you.

What do you mean?

Stay clear of the wine at lunch.

Miss, you never said we've got a test.

It's the same for everyone, Denzel.

Order's from Mr. Tyler.

Just try your best, okay?

My mum says just read the questions
carefully.

I'm sick.

Never going to be in the same set as
you.

Listen, this test is to help us find you
the right set.

The one that works best for you.

It's not about finding out who's sick or
who's a swat.

Okay?

Get that now.

Go down a little.

Well, I'm hoping that we can sort this
out.

Carla, it's all right.

I never did anything to her.

She's lying if she says I did.

We're here to solve a problem. I never
touched her.

You did.

You held me down.

And said that if I ever make your little
sister cry again, you'd kill me.

And then you wrote on my head...

I'm not a freak.

Emily, your sister, was there. She saw
everything.

I don't think that Carla's making that
up, Lindsay, because she's been too

scared of coming to school.

Now, I can go and get him and put her
through the ordeal of lying for you, but

think it's time to tell the truth, don't
you?

Hmm?

I've been in touch with Carla's mum.

She wants my guarantee that nothing like
this is going to happen again.

So can I give her that assurance?

Is that admission, Lindsay?

Yes, miss.

Sorry, Carla.

Well, it does take up to earn out,
doesn't it?

But I am still going to have to think up
an appropriate punishment.

You can chuck me out.

I don't give up on people, Lindsay.

How hard they push me.

Hmm?

How do you feel, Carla?

I don't want any more trouble. I just
want everyone to get on.

It goes without saying that all this
can't be achieved without an outstanding

subject knowledge, which I'm sure you
all have.

As a matter of interest, how many of you
feel confidently able to teach three

languages?

Two?

One?

Okay. Recognize this?

It's a very common sight in MFL
classrooms, I can tell you.

Death by vocab.

Frankly, it is the entitlement of a
headteacher to introduce structural

So it was your decision?

No. No, Max decided that, well, he...
Frankly, I can't discuss this.

Oh. Look, just who the hell is in charge
here?

You or him?

Hmm?

Oh, my area rep has just assured me of
his full support.

For what?

I intend to request permission to ballot
my membership with a view to possible

industrial action. Industrial action?

Mm -hmm. Oh, we can close this place
down in five minutes.

Will do, if he so much as sets one foot
across any of my members' classrooms.

Of course he's gutted. How do you like
going out with

a flippin' artful dodger? Sure.

Just because he ain't cared doesn't mean
he's a skank. Well, you know what a

skank looks like.

Don't start.

Can't believe you told everyone.

I thought you were my maid.

I am.

The more people know it's a surprise to
you, the less of a trivet you look.

It's all right, little girl. My mum were
a mess as well.

She told everyone.

I told Amy.

I'm sorry.

Hey, don't worry about having only one
language.

I was the same when I started.

Just flag it up at your performance
review and you're away.

We're desperate for Hispanics.

Spanish, especially.

Yeah, yeah, I know what they are.

Right, well, I'll take it up with my
line manager.

Oh, you'll enjoy this next session.
That's our native French speaker.

She'll be putting us all through a
paper.

It's months since I was in France.

Bonjour, comment allez -vous?

Comment a été votre voyage?

Merci beaucoup d 'être venu.

Two minutes.

Good to see the kids outside getting
stuck in.

Yeah, it's really good when people work
together, isn't it?

Will you apologise to Rachel yet?

I like to get things done.

Sometimes that shocks people.

She'll come round.

No, Max, you've just undermined her in
front of the whole staff room. Never

putting me in an impossible situation.

Kim. No, I didn't appreciate it.

Luke, I'm dead sorry. I just needed
someone to talk to. So what did you say?

Did you tell her that it didn't make a
difference and it don't change how you

feel about me?

No, but it doesn't.

You're having a go at me like I was the
one taking the mick out. Oh, I'm sorry.

Did I miss the part where you told her
to shut up?

Or were you just about to tell that
spiteful, stuck -up little cow to keep

nose out?

Probably for the best.

You don't think Siobhan's mum and dad
would let her go out with someone like

you.

Luke! Why did you do that?

He's wrecked my work.

Cooler.

Now. That took me ages.

Glamby.

Just give him time to calm down, all
right? Maybe he might respond to me.

Not a role model and all that.

Right.

Tyler walks into any lesson uninvited
and we walk out simple as.

Why should a headteacher not have the
right to check what's been taught in his

school?

His school? You're all the same, you
lot.

Like a bunch of nodding dogs.

Yes, Max. No, Max. Three bags flaming.
Fool, Max.

He says he wants outstanding teachers.

Just vacuous enthusiasm.

It's easy to be enthusiastic when you've
got a bunch of bright kids.

Hello? Hi,

Sheila.

No?

No, she hasn't contacted me.

What time does she leave?

Really?

Okay. No, no, there's not a problem.

No, honestly, I'm really glad that you
called me. Trust me. OK, thank you. This

cannot be sorted out. You all right?

Yeah, I've just got to check on
something. See you later.

OK.

Mason's letting her off.

What? No way.

We'd have done that to Carla. Mason
would have run us arse first out of

Exactly. So if Mason isn't going to do
it, we'll do it for her.

Lindsay James needs to learn that if she
goes against one of us, she gets it

back. Ten times worse.

But we'll get done if we do it all in
school.

So we don't do it in school. We wait
till she's on her way home.

I can't wait to wipe that snark off my
face.

Right. I'll see you later. And don't say
a word.

The situation is quite straightforward.

You do something wrong and there are
consequences of that action, yes?

I'm talking, you're listening.

It's more like it.

Simple.

I say it, you do it. I'll look behind
you.

I'm going to give you three simple
tasks, starting with a spot of litter

picking.

You can start in the canteen and make
your way outside.

You forgot the bib. I don't need a bib.

It's non -negotiable, Luke.

I'll be down to check on you shortly.

Hello, Steph.

Jo.

How did I know you were here?

Oh, well, I guess.

Come in.

Funnily enough, I was just about to ring
you.

I had to leave the course because I
wasn't well. I've been sick three times.

Something smells really good. Yeah,
yeah, I'm just cooking something to...

Sat on my stomach.

Do you want to cut the crap, Steph?

You walked out.

Sheila called me.

I can't actually believe you.

After everything that happened last
week.

It was a waste of flaming time.

That Sheila McKillabody woman, whatever
you call her, she doesn't have a clue.

Well, that Sheila McKinney was the head
of her department in AST by the time she

was 24, Steph.

You know, if Max Tyler had his way,
you'd be out of a job. And if he finds

about this, you really will be.

I couldn't face it.

All those geeky, swotty types. It's just
not me.

Well, it's going to have to be, because
I am not having a female Grantley Budgin

in my department. No way.

A glass of wine? A cup of tea?

Maybe a cup of tea. No.

Because you're not stopping.

Go get changed.

I'll tell Sheila you're on the way.

Go on.

Nick, got to take any rubber transfer
cycling.

Yeah, OK.

Some over there.

What is he playing at? Thank you.

All right, thank you.

Showing him he was boss, I guess.

Humiliating him, more like.

Can you give us five minutes?

Yeah, no problem.

Look, maybe I can tell Mr Campbell that
Amy wound you up.

I don't care what Campbell thinks of me.

You're the one that didn't tell anyone,
Luke.

Why are you angry at me when you're the
one that's embarrassed?

No, I'm not.

So that's why you lied to me for six
months, is it?

Making up stories about why I couldn't
come round.

Making me feel like maybe I wasn't good
enough.

You're full of crap.

Blaming me is just easier than admitting
you're well -shamed about her.

Stay, Kendall.

Can't buy.

Loser.

That's really good work. Well done, well
done.

There.

Hi, Sheila.

Sorry for disappearing like that.

Oh, not a problem.

Any bargains to be had on the shopping
channel?

Do you know that half of all children in
care leave school with no GCSEs?

13 % get five passes. Are you going to
be like that, Luke?

Or are you going to be part of the 40 %
of prisoners who have spent time in

care? It's your decision.

Myth of it.

Water needs changing.

What? Come on, move it. I'm doing it.
Yeah, not quick enough.

I said I'm doing it. Don't you ever
speak to me like that again.

Now get it changed.

Oi! Luke!

Get back here!

Luke!

To Mr. Max, we,

the undersigned, protest in the
strongest possible terms at the

with our war opponent.

Professional orbiters.

Somebody

pass

me the hammer.

Thanks.

You know, it must be hard living in
care. Have you tried asking him about

I tried.

It makes me embarrassed of him.

Try again, just to make sure she's not
listening.

Right, everyone, come on, let's get
everything done now. We want to get

up. I thought I'd grab a sandwich and
meet me in my room.

Nah, that's my break.

Is that much of a cock to you, finding
out about me?

Has that clearly messed things up for
you?

It was a shock, yeah.

I must have known I'd find you one day.

Well, no, I didn't.

The first thing I knew about you was
three weeks ago.

Yeah, right.

It's the truth.

I'm sure your mum had her reasons for
not telling you, but I didn't even know

she was pregnant.

So what are you saying?

My mum's been lying to me for, like, all
my life.

I'm telling you the truth.

Yeah, your truth.

You ran away from the truth.

That's why you walked off from mum the
other day, and that's why you haven't

the guts to speak to me till today.
Look, Josh, I just didn't want to be the

to tell you.

It's up to you whether you believe me or
not. Yeah, well, I don't.

You know what? I thought it'd be mint
having a dad.

But you're just full of crap.

Just leave me alone, yeah?

Yeah, well, he could be anywhere.

Better let Kim know.

You're so much for executive control,
huh?

It's my car.

My car!

Not late.

This is my life. Do you want to see it?

Everyone can find out about me now!

Get what you want, speed it!

You know about me!

Come on, get what you want!

Go back inside, please.

Girls, inside, I said.

As MFL teachers, we all know how
difficult it is to motivate boys.

Like teaching turtles how to run.

Absolutely. But what's the one thing
they respond to?

Well, it's not forming reflexive verbs.

I agree, Steph, but we've got to teach
them.

The question is, can we do it in an
exciting way?

But are we here to teach them or to
entertain them? Be good if we could do

I've only known boys respond to two
things, and I'm sorry, boys, but that's

and football, or in fact any game that
involves winning.

Spot on, Steph.

Boys are very competitive. You are
absolutely right, Steph. It's why they

better in maths than science.

These are in your games packs.

Enough to keep them going for weeks in
here.

Takes their mind off the other thing as
well.

Thanks.

Another name in the coffin.

Why the hell I ever came here? I don't
know why Max ever came here.

Yes, I think we've all seen the chaos
that will rain down if he gets his way.

You're wasting your time, Grantley, my
love, because Max Tyler bends to no man.

And believe me, I know. I've known him
for ten years.

I think you'll find that your friend Max
is facing a far less servile collective

than the one he was used to in the
private sector.

You're going to have Foster's kids on
one side and Waterloo Road on the other.

mean, if you've got kids of your own,
don't you want the best for them? You

them to be in the top flight.

What I do know is Max's plans will be a
right kick in the teeth to the likes of

Denzel Kelly.

Yeah, and the top set's great if you're
in it, but what does it do for the self

-esteem of the others? I think we should
focus our resources on all of the kids,

irrespective of their abilities.

Hmm. Well, I'm surprised at you, Jo. I
didn't think you'd be siding with

Scargill here.

I'm on the side of what's best for the
kids, Ruby.

Oh, absolutely.

It's they who are important here. Dead
right, Grantley.

Think about what you're doing, Joe.

She's a big girl.

Joe.

A majority.

And now all we need is a delegation.

Here we go.

I think that's most of them.

Chris.

Look, can you take Luke out for a
second, please?

Come on.

Stay with him.

I'm calling the police.

Max, hang on. Just calm down, all right?
Nobody got hurt.

Oh, yeah, you're forgetting that he
nearly killed you. No, please, please,

me. All right? Let's just deal with this
on our own.

It doesn't need any more discipline.

It just needs a little bit of TLC.

Max?

This is Max Tyler, Waterloo Road
Executive Head.

I'd like to report a serious incident.

Yes, please.

Not as bad as you expected, eh?

Well, I've learnt a couple of new
tricks.

You lack confidence.

And, dare I say it, you're stuck in your
ways.

La vérité vaut bien qu 'on passe
quelques années sans la trouver.

The truth is more valuable if it takes a
few years to find it.

Parfait.

Merci.

you do it?

I don't know.

I've just lost it.

Pleads are on their way. I'm going to
hand this over to them.

What happened to him?

He'll end up with a criminal record.

And if he does, it'll be what he
deserves.

Luke,

why don't you, why don't you tell Mr.
Tyler why you ended up in care?

It's okay.

When my dad left my mum, And started his
new family. She just couldn't look

after us anymore.

Right, and what age were you?

I was six.

Six.

Maybe this will be the shock he needs.

Absolutely it will.

What's the point?

Loins girded, everyone.

In.

Ah.

Pending approval from the Union, our
commitment to meeting intimidation and

threats with an immediate walkout.

Let me know what you're doing.

That's exactly what I was going to ask
you.

Majority of the staff have signed?

Yes, including some from your old
establishment.

When you've had a look, I suggest we sit
down and discuss this properly.

No budgins pre -Cambrian.

I'm surprised that Tom Clarkson, even
Joe Lipset, signed it.

This is just some kind of power thing,
isn't it?

It's always about power when you're
trying to reform a place like this.

And you're using a young, vulnerable boy
to show how tough he can be.

Personal attacks.

I thought they'd come.

You're beginning to annoy me, Kim.

Yeah, advice from colleagues does annoy
you. I had noticed.

When the advice is to dish out tender,
loving care to kids who clearly need a

kick up the backside, that annoys me.
I'm really glad that you value me

professional opinion. I do value your
professional opinion, Kim.

Do you know what? There's a signature
missing.

Kim, why are you taking this so
personally? Do you know we haven't told

that he's in care?

Not even his girlfriend.

Oh, Max, you can roll your eyes at me as
much as you want, but do you know what?

You've failed him.

It is your responsibility to make sure
that kids like Luke stay out of the

system and all you've done is threaten
him and humiliate him.

And then now what? You're going to get
him thrown into a cell?

Let me give you some professional
advice.

Unless you get the grip through the
pastoral issues in this school, you can

all your little reforms goodbye.

No.

Thank you for coming. That's Tyler.

Look, could you give me five minutes?

Sure.

Police will be in here shortly to charge
you.

Can you think of one good reason why
that shouldn't happen?

No, sir.

Miss Campbell thinks I should give you a
second chance. Is she right?

She's all right, Miss Campbell.

Yes, she is.

The thing is, Luke, when you leave here
in two years' time, Miss Campbell

doesn't leave with you.

You have to stand on your own two feet.

What I did today was try to make you
realise that in life, Bad things happen.

You have to be ready.

Which means ready to accept authority.

So things just went a bit... I fell out
with my girlfriend and everyone was

having a go at me.

Yes, I heard about that.

Don't ever be ashamed of your
background, Luke.

Just work hard so it's not an issue.

When he came to John Foster's, I was
delighted.

I said, now there's a lad with the
brains to really achieve something in

You do want to achieve something.

University?

Career?

Definitely. I want to be a lawyer.

Good.

But you won't get there if you can't
show respect for the people in charge.

And in this place, that's me.

I'm going to inform the police that
we'll be handling this incident.

Giving you a second chance.

Final chance.

You know, this will be on you from now.

Think you can handle it?

I can, sir, yeah.

Best decision you've made all day.

Sir, thank you.

Well, do you think some other guy will
help?

I don't know what would help.

Are you two talking about Lindsay?

I don't want any more trouble. I told
Miss Mason that.

Don't worry, Carly. You won't have any
more trouble with Lindsay.

That means you're going to give her
trouble.

Miss Mason sorted everything out.
Lindsay apologised. She's going to be

apologising all over the pavement once
we've finished with her.

What are you going to do?

We're going to kick her head in on the
way home.

We're doing it for you, Carla.

Well, I'm sure Max will see off the
rebels.

Don't underestimate Grantley. He's
crafty.

Is that a sneaking admiration I can
hear?

Hey, Carla, what's up?

It's Michaela Whitemate.

Oh, she's not having a go at you as
well, is she?

No, Michaela's going to kick Lindsay's
head in.

They're going to get her on her way
home.

Have you got your car keys?

Yeah.

OK, Carla, you've done the right thing.
Don't worry.

Should I let Max know?

That's up to you, Chris.

Come on.

Oh, Siobhan, cheer up.

I'm not going to lock Luke up.

She's in a mood because I've been having
a go at him.

You're with us now. We're more important
than some poxy lad. Yeah.

Look, anyone gives you any grief
tomorrow, you just let me know, yeah?

Part of the crew.

What did Miss Mason say about you and
Carla? Shut up, Em. I thought it.

I said I'm sorry and that's it.

She's still a nosy little cow.

me with her as well. And a little
sister.

Right, get back. Hide. Right, don't go
till I say go.

We're not going to work a little sister
now, are we?

It's Lindy I'm after, no one else.

Oh, we must have missed her.

The Wilton Street's up there. Should we
try it anyway?

This is unreal.

When did girls get like this?

You all right tonight, son?

Nah, I'm going to sleep.

What do you want to go to that skank
house for? I thought you finished with

I never said that. You did.

You've been doing all the talking today,
and look what happened.

I couldn't think for myself, Amy.

You all right, Linz?

You having a nice time with your little
mate?

See, you need all of yours.

It's that brave of you.

It's coming from someone who beats up
special needs kids.

You don't have special needs if you
touch me. Leave her alone!

What's wrong? You're dead.

You think you can do one of us and get
away with it? No chance.

This is for Carla.

This is for me.

Lindsay! Leave us alone!

Come on, we're going.

Lindsay!

All of you. What are you doing?

What do you call this, Girl Day? The
Lord of the Jungle?

Retribution dress. I was loyal to
Michaela.

Right. This stops now.

Get home, the lot of you.

Move. Go on, all of you. Get home.

Now. This is not finished. Do you
understand?

Yes, it is.

Yes, it is.

Finished. Oh, you are.

No exams. No future. I will kick you out
of Waterloo Road before you can blink.

were going to kill her.

Do you want?

One very contrite young man to see you.

Hey, Miss.

I'm sorry about the garden and
everything.

What's happened?

Took your advice.

We're going to deal with it in -house.

Less rules, more responsibilities.

He's not getting away scot -free. We're
still going to...

Keep him behind for the next two or
three weeks.

Thank you, Max.

See you later. See you.

Pastoral approach is the only way we're
going to get through to them, Max.

It wasn't until you turned up.

That's the thing.

Everything all right with your mum?

No.

She tried to tell me she did it for all
the right reasons.

I can't see a reason to lie like that.

She's looked after you all your life.

Maybe she was worried I was someone that
didn't care you existed.

Don't change anything, you know.

You being this great guy.

I'm still nothing to you.

Come on.

Look, I don't run a mile if you were
nothing to me.

Isn't that what you did?

I'm here now.

I don't mean to be funny or anything,
but I'm a little bit disappointed.

It's just... For years I've thought
about you.

What you're going to be like.

Are you rich? Do you have a posh car?

He was like this imaginary hero to me.

Super teacher.

I just went and met my mum.

She said she don't want to shut me up, I
think.

So, she thought he must be a scumbag.

I know you're not.

Listen, I think we should move away from
blaming your mum.

I want to try and...

Have a sort of relationship.

If that's what you want.

The next Saturday.

I thought we could go.

I don't like football.

Right. No problem.

Sorry, I... I thought you might...
Thought what?

That maybe we could do the whole father
and son gig?

You don't know me.

Yeah, you're right.

I don't.

But I'm trying.

I want to get to know you. Why?

You're not making this easy, are you?

I don't know. I know that without me,
you wouldn't be living and breathing.

Being a pain in the backside.

Is that enough?

Who's playing?

not like in football.

At least you're not a United fan.

Glory, glory, man, United.

Always a comedian.

I made a mistake and I tried to put it
right. Yeah, but do you know what? You

should have just trusted and respected
my opinion in the first place.

Yes.

If you want to close the door tonight...
No, I don't want to close the door,

Neil.

You've just got a lot of groveling to
do.

I can do groveling.

Hi. Max has decided to let Luke off.
He's not getting involved.

All right.

Well, that's a good decision.

Yeah, just the easy one, really.

Too good a student to risk losing.

Chris, I was looking for you earlier.

Yeah, I had to help Rachel.

Lindsay James and Michaela White had a
fight outside school.

What? Was anyone hurt?

No, they're not, but it confirms my
fear. We've got a serious gang problem

and Michaela and Lindsay are right at
the head of it. We need to solve it as

quickly as possible.

Absolutely right. It needs all our
attention.

I think that if we can, you know, unite,
we can put a stop to it.

Absolutely.

So what about the petition?

I think we could set up a little
arbitration service.

Really? You're willing to make a
compromise?

Not on delivering quality teaching, no.
Well, I think we can support that.

As long as it is a collaboration with
the staff, not spying on them.

Yes, if the steps are all in place, I'm
sure that even the less able teachers

will do better.

OK, I'm going to go and get rid of my
wellies and stuff.

See you in a bit.

Rachel, thank you.

For going to help sort that out.

Right. No, I just think the girls needed
a reminder of who's in charge.

Maybe we could kick around a few ideas,
form a strategy.

I think we need to have a new regime of
trust and openness.

Absolutely.

Lovely. Yeah, it's alright.

Come on, shake it.

Told Amy to bog off.

Yeah.

Right.

I didn't know you could drive.

No, I can't.

So, what's going to happen to you?

Mr Tyler's giving him a second chance.

His head's down in graft.

No more sleepovers. Staying out past
ten.

You understand?

I thought they were going to kick you
out.

Nah, just me and Tyler's going to be on
my case, but I'll be alright.

Look, I'm sorry that I lied.

I mean, I'm just glad it's out now.

It'd be a big relief not having to look
both ways every time I leave this place.

Look, do you want to stay for tea?

It's okay, I'd better get back.

It'll be alright, please.

Yeah, okay.
