All language subtitles for Waterloo Road s05e14

We are getting over, dear.

The time's still on our side.

I want to take you with me, love.

Spread that punch. Have a good day.

Great, thanks.

What do you want to present now, Oliver,
sir? I'm not sure of any at all, just

in case it's a kick in the crotch.

What are you doing tonight, sir?

What about I'll be at the party?

Well, someone's got to man the barbecue.

Keep the burgers and sausages coming.
Sam will tell you.

I'm the barbecue king.

More like king of the sad dog.

Oi, I heard that.

So who's coming tonight, then?

I'm not sure. I told everyone.

I can't be fake. Come on. Are you trying
to give us all salmonella?

No. Why?

Uncooked meat on the bottom, not on top
of your corn slaw.

Sorry.

I might, yes. I haven't got a better
idea of who died, you know.

What's all this for, then?

Stuff for Josh's birthday barbecue
tonight.

How many people have you got coming?

Why don't you think I've got enough
stuff?

I might bob out later, get a few more
bits.

Crisps, that sort of thing.

But unless you think that's a bit...
Passé?

Childish. You know, want to get this
party right.

How'd you get a party wrong?

Well... I don't know. I just don't want
it to be rubbish. I don't want anyone

thinking Josh is lame, do I?

No, you don't want Josh to think that
you're lame. You want him to think that

you're the cool dad.

Only one way you're going to do that.

Don't be there.

Yeah, leave him to it.

What, you think I should?

No.

Rose.

It's Adam. Told you he'd be starting
today.

Rose. Rachel. I told you we don't need
him.

I mean, you think we've been serving up
rubbish for the past year or something?

We do the best we can on the money. Yes,
and I'm not suggesting anything else.

Why is he in my kitchen? I'm here to
make Waterloo Road a healthier place, to

work with the kids and the staff, make
sure the lunches are packing and

nutritional punch.

Are you saying that I can't do my job?
Not at all, but it's not just about

making the food. It's also about
educating the kids so they know what

eating and why they're eating it.

Adam's a nice guy. He's not here to
cause trouble or stand at anyone's toes.

do want to get the job done, Rachel.

I know, but I'm just saying Rose is safe
in your hands, isn't she?

Safe?

You two know what I mean. I'm going to
leave you two. Get on with it.

It's someone's idea of a joke.

Who put this in my pigeonhole?

I did, Grantley.

Depression? I'm not mentally unbalanced.

No, and I'm not suggesting that you are.
Grantley.

Grantley, we've all got one.

Yeah, I'm not singling you out. It's
just part of the emotional health

Oh. So I'm supposed to be looking for
signs of depression in the kids now, am

No, you're supposed to be looking for
signs of depression in yourself or your

colleagues. How?

Do you know, we all know why stress
levels go through the roof.

Ofsted inspections, league tables, all
of the paperwork that goes with them.

Just read the leaflet.

All right, if any of you recognise the
symptoms or any of the warning signs of

depression, you know where I am.

Disturbed sleep.

Exhaustion. Shortness of temper. It's
not the symptoms of depression. It's the

symptoms of being a teacher.

Practical lesson today, folks, as you
can see.

Kind of bench and sit down quietly.

Any room for me?

I want you in pairs or rooms of three,
please.

Josh, want to pair up with me, mate?

No, you're all right.

Right, today we're going to be looking
at catalysts.

Specifically, how they can speed up the
reaction between sodium thiosulfate and

hydrogen peroxide.

Oi, you two.

Are you listening, Josh, Lauren?

Yeah, sorry, sir.

Thank you.

Right, what do we know about hydrogen
peroxide?

Anyone? Come on. Don't be shy. Hydrogen
peroxide.

It's bleach, isn't it, sir?

Good. Hydrogen peroxide is the active
ingredient in most bleaching products.

You've got hair bleach, toilet bleach,
skin bleach, whitening toothpaste, but

it's only in a really, really diluted
form.

Right, goggles on before I hand any of
this out.

What do you think?

Yeah, they suit you.

Do you think it's going to work?

I don't see why not. It's a simple
enough concept. Bring your old clothes,

them for new ones, even our luck can
grasp it.

Actually, I meant, is it going to work
on Rachel?

Presumably that's why you're doing this,
the brownie point.

No, it's not.

Right, girls, come on.

Are these your contributions?

Yes, just pop them on the table because
they're all going to need to be sorted.

Ruby, listen, if there's anything I can
do... I'm just going to get my head

down. And I am going to make a success
of this one little venture.

Just so Rachel gets a message.

Out with the old and in with the new
isn't always the way.

You call it old.

Hey, I've been consigned to the scrappy
for a few times.

Anyway, here's my contribution.

And don't you be snaffling them first.

Is this out of your bag, Carla?

I didn't know you had such good tea.

Oh, I don't. It's my mum's. It's really
old.

Oh, it's not old. The word's vintage.

Oh, really?

Look at this.

Do you think I'd be able to pull off a
better look?

Yeah.

Some of it's just design again. Look.

I wouldn't be able to afford half this
stuff if it were in the shop. Excuse me.

The idea is that everybody gets a chance
to look. It's not a sneak preview.

And before you take something, you bring
something.

The idea is that you rejuvenate your old
wardrobes and yourselves without

splashing your parents' cash.

Right, I need some volunteers, please,
for this ironing, sewing on some loose

buttons. Oh, I can help Mrs Fry.

I've got a free lesson and I'm really
good at ironing.

Right, you lot can come back when it
starts then, please.

Thank you.

Off you pop.

I don't care what she says.

I saw that top first and it's mine.

That one.

Do you want it back? Yeah, I'd like to
see you try it. Come on, then.

Me?

Oi! You two again? What are you doing?

Nothing, Mr Mead.

It didn't look like nothing. It looked
like you were being stupid around

dangerous chemicals and delicate
equipment.

Where's your goggles, Josh?

They're not doing any good down there,
are they?

Stop flirting, the pair of you, and get
on with your...

Excuse me, we weren't flirting. Just get
on with your work. All of you.

Oh, my God.

I can't actually believe you just said
that.

Oh, dear.

Hey, Rose.

I was thinking about... Oh, sorry.

Sorry.

I know you're supposed to be my tutor,
but I don't really know what that means.

Basically, I'm just here to keep an eye
on you academically.

But I don't think we're going to have
any problems with that, are we?

I hope not.

So these sessions are really about me
being able to identify what you're

passionate about and what you like to
study at Oxford or Cambridge.

I want to study French and law.

That's great.

And what are your interests outside of
school?

Um, loads of stuff, yeah.

Books, music, films.

Any French films?

Nouveau Vague.

Godard.

Okay, it's fine, because we're going to
start really slowly.

And don't you worry, you are going to be
properly cultured by the camera, okay?

Me? That's the dresses and the long
things.

And I've sorted everything else into
tops, bottoms, shoes and belts.

Maybe I should sort everything by colour
instead.

No. No, it's wonderful.

I'm so impressed.

Thanks.

Has anything caught your fancy? Because,
you know, I think you should get first

in. No, it's all right, miss.

I don't like wearing clothes other
people have worn.

But you've worked really hard.

I told you, I like ironing.

So you did.

Okay. Lovely.

Pop off.

I know you keep saying.

Yeah, but even if I was flirting with
Josh, which I wasn't, it's nothing to do

with him, is it?

I suppose so.

Cover for me, yeah? I always do, don't
I? Thanks.

Lauren? Yeah? I don't understand why
you're so bothered. It's not as if

watching.

Yeah, I know, but I'll see you out
there, yeah?

You're supposed to pass it back,
remember?

I don't know.

You should be paying attention,
shouldn't you? I am.

What a deal of piss, doesn't it?

What's that supposed to mean?

Come on, Laurie, don't make me say it.
Say what?

You two.

You and Josh, you totally fancy each
other.

No, he doesn't. You mean you do?

No.

Come on, Lauren. You're always laughing
and jerking with each other. When he was

pinned for you in science, that's got to
mean something.

Well, we're just being daft.

Having a laugh. I mean, I laugh and jerk
with you, don't I?

Do you want to go out with me? No.

posh jumble sale.

I just think we should get something to
wear tonight.

Don't start that. All I'm saying is,
Lauren, I think you should look nice.

That's it.

And I just think you're obsessing over
me and Josh because you've got no chance

of voltage.

What are you two talking about?

Um, swap meet.

We're going to find Lauren some at
Fiercewear tonight.

She can look dead nice.

I think you always look nice.

Thanks.

Right, uh, I'm just going to go, uh,
like... Oh.

My God.

Who was she?

You need something knockout, Lauren.
Something he'll just look at you and

wow, Sam, trust me, Lauren.

What about something sexy?

No. Well, strappy.

No.

Something a bit see -through. No, Sam.

Let's just find a nice T -shirt or
something. T -shirt? Wow.

Wondered if you needed a hand.

It's going really well.

Yeah, yeah, I'd say it is.

Ey up.

Got a visitor.

See? Just like that and you're back on
track.

Really? Really.

You know, Ruth, you need to lighten up.

I think you should come round to my
place tonight. I'll get us a bottle of

maybe even two, and we'll have a girly
night in.

And believe me, John can cope on his own
for one night.

Do you know, I'd really like that.

Good.

Where is it?

I told you that green top was mine.

Yeah, well, never mind that. My dress is
gone as well.

We're not leaving here without something
decent.

Hey.

Can I ask you something, Dad?

Yeah.

How do you know when a girl fancies you?

Erm... She wants to spend a lot of time
with you.

She's interested in everything that you
say.

Well, what if she is interested, but she
just don't agree with anything?

Well, um... And she always hits you and
takes a mick and stuff.

Oh, well, she definitely fancies you.

Now you're taking the mick.

No, look, um, Josh, I think you and
Lauren... Whoa, hang on.

You've heard anything about Lauren?

What's she doing?

Oh, a apple?

Sam, what do you think?

Yeah, the inside.

Your colour?

Do you think?

We'll go and try it on.

OK.

What are you doing?

Well, I'm going with you. I actually do
want to see what it looks like.

I'll just show you when I get out, yeah?

OK.

Rubes, what do you think of this?

It'd be nice as a seat cover on an
Austin Allegra.

Oh, I'm so jealous.

Oh, my days.

And what are you doing? I saw them
first.

I don't think so. And, uh, besides, they
won't suit you. Well, at least they'll

fit me.

What did you say?

I said at least I'll be able to fit my
backside into them.

Give them to me and I'll show you! I'll
show you! I saw them first!

They are five for one, Alicia.

You're on, mate. On.

Here, I'm telling you.

Alicia's going down watching.

Absolutely disgusting.

Did you know there was something wrong
with her?

No, why would I? I can't find my shirt.

I thought she might have told you, you
know, you two being... What?

I thought you were going out.

As if.

I can't find my shirt.

Lucky escape, eh?

Come on, let's get you decent, darling.

Okay, boys, that's enough. Show's over.

I'm sorry, girl.

Due to some very selfish behaviour, it's
what meets over.

Not many people saw.

Don't lie.

I'm not lying.

You better get down to the kitchen and
sort out this hell coordinator of yours,

because if I have to listen to any more
of his crap... Just sort him out,

Rachel, will you?

Right, firstly start in the kitchen,
changing what we were cooking at the

minute. Now he's rearranging the
furniture.

I told you I was going to make changes.

Yeah, you did, Anna, but you said to the
menu, not to the decor. How is this

going to encourage... I encourage kids
to eat more fruit and veg.

There's more to healthy eating than
that. And anyway, my job's not just

what's going on in their stomachs, it's
about their minds as well. I thought you

were going to trust me. Rachel, come
here. Look at this.

Shepherd's pie.

Yeah, I can see that.

Twenty of them. Half meat, half
vegetarian. That's what he has us

Okay. And he expects us to serve them
like waitresses.

I tell you what, Rachel, it is a good
job Candice is not here because she

freak out about this.

About what?

Please, can someone just tell me what's
going on? We're having a proper meal at

lunchtime, a communal eating experience.
Instead of just grabbing a sandwich,

the kids are going to sit down, serve
out the food and talk.

That's never going to work. It already
did at the community centre that I ran.

I started it when I realised the way the
kids were eating there was the same way

they were eating at home, on the fly,
shoveling the food whilst they watched

telly and did homework. I bet that's how
you eat.

I usually...

eat while I'm watching the news.

But just like most people in this
country, watch and shovel, that's all we

I mean, the dinner table used to be
where people talked about the day. You

relaxed enough to share their worries
and their problems.

Well, I've found that if we encourage
mixed tables, different years, members

staff all eating together, then that's
what happens.

What do you think, Red?

Oh, why didn't you say all that in the
first place? She has got a point there.

Look, I'm here to get things done.

I'm sorry if I'm not the nice guy you
seem to remember me as. Oh, come on,

I'd better get on.

By the way, it'd be nice if the staff
joined us at lunchtime.

Get lost, did we?

Sorry, I'm late.

Sit down.

Right, as I was saying, writers have to
have sympathy with all of their

characters. Not just the heroes, but the
villains too.

They need to understand why they do
villainous things.

So today, we're all going to be baddies
and monsters.

Thank you.

We're going to write a page on why our
characters do strange or terrible

And then we'll read them out.

Lauren.

You swat on me. I don't even know who
mine is.

Are you trying to be funny?

Like I said, I don't know who it is.

Give me mine back.

It's too late now.

Right. Finn, who have you got?

Hannibal Lecter.

Okay. Uh, Sam?

Oh, I've got the big bad wolf, but is it
from Three Little Pigs or Little Red

Riding Hood?

Well, I'll leave that for you to decide.

Lauren, who've you got?

Quasimodo.

Okay.

Who's that, sir?

What? Come on.

What? Quasimodo?

Well, surely the name must ring a bell.

with him saying the hunchback. What else
would he used to do?

It's not funny. It's discrimination.

He didn't choose to be disabled.

Good.

Right. Let's get on with it, shall we?

Got a minute, Grant Lee?

I need your help.

I'm planning a visit to London for the
APU students.

And what has London done to deserve
that?

It was a cultural trip.

Another V &A, take modern, play at the
National in the evening.

Evening? What time are you getting back?

Well, the next day. We're planning an
overnight.

Teenagers and cheap chain hotels should
never mix. Ditto me and overnights.

I think Rachel begs to differ on that
one.

What?

Well, something about it being your turn
and that I shouldn't take no for an

answer. So, here's the proposed
itinerary. Let me know if you've got any

suggestions. Thank you very much.

Well, how would you like it? A lot of
pictures turning up and building the

houses on your land.

And there was scruffy houses as well,
made out of twigs and straw.

And then there was a little red riding
hood.

She was just trespassing.

Excellent. OK, Lauren.

Oh, no, I don't want to mind the crap.

Well, I'll be the judge of that. Come
on, everyone else has had a turn.

Well, let's hear it then, Quasimodo.

It's difficult.

I look different.

That's why you're all scared of me.

You can only see what's wrong with me
and not what's right.

Don't you think I'd change it if I
could?

Don't you think I know?

I know that I'm hard to look at.

I don't even like looking at myself.

If I could, I'd break every mirror.

Break it into a thousand pieces.

Well, I don't know what you were worried
about. That was excellent.

Well, you really thought about things
from Quasimodo's perspective.

Now, that was both empathetic as well as
sympathetic.

So, can anyone tell me the difference
between empathetic and sympathetic

writing?

I thought I was tired.

So very tired.

Thought nothing of the sense of
disconnection.

Having no energy, no sleep.

And when I did sleep, the dreams.

How long has this been going on for,
Grantley?

Feels like an eternity.

It's just... You've never really shown
any sign of this before.

In fact, this morning, you actually
suggested that depressing was for women.

Well, that's what we depressives do,
isn't it?

Put up a facade.

OK.

Let me, er... Let me make some calls.

See if we can get you some help.

In the meantime?

Well, in the meantime, I'm going to go
and have a word with Rachel.

I think maybe you might need a leave of
absence.

Thank you.

Lauren! Yeah, stop.

You heard her.

Don't worry about me, mate. It's not
your fault she's a freak.

I suppose.

Besides, it's your birthday.

And? And there's going to be loads of
time at your party, won't you do?

Don't worry, mate.

It'll be all right.

Hey, Josh.

I'll leave you two here, then.

I was, er... I was thinking about your
party.

Maybe I could go out for a couple of
hours, you know? Long enough for me to

a pint, long enough for you to have a
dance with Lauren.

Just give it a rest, will you?

It's not even coming, right?

It's not my fault Josh has been a stupid
get.

Oh, he is, is he?

Of course he is. Laughing with Finn and
the other lads like that.

Yeah, but it wasn't this morning,
though, was it? Not when you nearly

have us married.

That was before.

What, before he told everyone I was
disabled? I didn't say he was disabled.

just said that... OK, I'm sorry. I
shouldn't have done it. I was just

help. But this is why you never get a
shower after P .E., though, isn't it?

Because of your scar.

It's not a scar, Sam. It's a birthmark.

I've had it all my life. OK.

I just thought he might have been in a
fire or something.

Well, you don't wrong.

Lauren, this isn't my fault.

It isn't my fault you didn't trust me
enough to tell me.

I thought we were supposed to be best
friends.

What? Can we have a look?

At what?

This weird thing on your batter.

Everyone's talking about it.

Ah, Miss Mason.

Perhaps you can enlighten me.

I will always try, Mr. Budgin. When I
was informed that my presence was

in the dining room at lunchtime, I had
assumed that I would be fed and watered.

Yes, that's the idea.

Well, then perhaps you can tell me why I
am standing in the corridor with the

pupils when I could be in the staff room
with a cheese and pickle bar.

Everybody hungry?

Yes, we are.

OK, let's get in.

Yeah, where's the group? Yeah, I'll be
out in a minute. We're doing something a

little bit different today, so everyone
take a seat and we will get started.

That would be nice if the teachers
didn't all just sit together.

I mean, come on, mix it up a bit.

Right, ladies, let's go.

Don't just look at it, get stuck in!

Oh, thank you, thank you.

Didn't know you were on playground duty.

Yeah, I'm covering for Grantley. I want
to be careful not to load any extra

pressure at work on him at the moment.

Extra pressure like a school trip?

Well, yeah.

Yeah, that'd be a definite no -no.

Kim, it's his term, and I can't do this
APU outing without somebody's help.

Well, I know you don't really agree with
the scheme, but... I know, but

Grantley's supposed to be going on that
trip.

Yeah.

When did he find that out?

This morning, I told him.

Oh, yeah, I think.

Lovely.

Oi, plate.

Don't just get up and walk away from the
table at all, do you? Give everyone a

cut to hand.

Well, that's usually me.

Oh, yeah?

What do you cook?

Beans on toast, egg on toast, bacon on
toast. Why do I get the feeling that

entire repertoire is on toast?

Well, you know, you're cooking for one.

Well, I could show you some simple
recipes. Some really simple, but more

exciting than toast.

Eh? Yeah.

Yeah.

Oi! Have you got a problem?

No. What's your problem?

I don't have one. You do.

You didn't want me to come to your
party.

You should have just said, alright.

Fine, I will.

You're not invited anymore.

No freaks allowed.

Nice one, mate.

Keto.

Roland, what can I do for you?

I was just wondering if you need any
help setting up the apparatus.

Oh, yeah, that'd be great.

But it is your lunch break. Don't you
want to be outside with your mate?

Okay. Well, it's the same set -up as
this morning. It's still on the board

the equipment's in the cupboard.

Now, I'm trusting you with these, right?

Yeah. Great.

One set of kit per bench. I'll see you
later.

Oh, can you manage?

Yes, I'm fine, thank you. Let me.

Thanks, Tom. Where are we going with
them?

My car, please.

I, uh, heard about Lauren Andrews at
your swap meet.

Oh, dear.

The poor girl.

You know, everybody's all standing
around laughing at her.

Is it me, or are the kids getting
crueler?

Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, it used to be
just the girls that were spiteful, and

the lads. They're just as bad.

Well, I'm lucky in that respect.

I mean, Josh might not be the top of the
class, but at least he's a nice lad.

I'm not sure Lauren would agree with
you.

What do you mean? Well, Josh was right
there with Bolton Smiley and Paul

Langley, all of them. They're all just
laughing their heads off.

What? Did they? Yeah, but... Oh, sorry.

You haven't said hi.

Yeah, let me give you a hand.

No, but you've wrapped him. What label's
that?

No.

Reserved price, £20?

Yeah.

But I thought the whole purpose of the
swap was that no money, she understands.

Didn't.

It's amazing what you can sell online
these days, isn't it?

I thought this was for the kids.

It was.

Oh, Tom, don't tell Rachel.

I'm sorry, Ruby, but in my book this is
stealing.

Tom!

Tell me what your family's favourite
meal is.

It's always just so we don't eat
together.

I mean, it doesn't have to be at the
table. It could be a curry in front of

telly, pizza, drive -thru burgers.

I usually have, like, pasta.

It's really boring.

It doesn't have to be boring. We're
talking about chillies, capers... Excuse

Finn.

Lessons are about to start.

Right.

I'll catch you later, mate, and I'll
have some recipes for you, all right?

Now, he's exactly the sort of kid that
might sit down once as a far.

I'm sure he is.

I think today went well, didn't it?

Yes, it did. It wasn't an unqualified
success.

Really? It's not like I'm getting off
the kids like Finn.

Yeah, kids like to have a habit of
taking advantage, which is one of the

I needed to understand.

Adam, are you listening to me?

You know, I could put Rose in touch with
some great suppliers and get her stuff,

unless she's got some real rubbish.

Well, maybe you could find a more
sensitive way of putting it when you do,

Speaker. Yeah, whatever.

You know what? I think you really need
to understand how important Candice and

Rose are to the school. They do deserve
to be treated with respect.

I trod on some over -sensitive toes.

You didn't over -sensitive. In fact, I'd
say she was robust. But you are pretty

full -on.

I love my job. I believe in what I do.

And that is great.

But do you have to be so aggressive
about it? Aggressive?

Okay, enthusiastic.

Or dynamic. I didn't expect you to be so
dynamic.

Of course you didn't.

You expected me to be a pushover like I
was before. Well, I'm not like I used to

be. It didn't matter to me.

You were sweet and you were nice.

And look how far that got me.

Now, you taught me a valuable lesson
back then, Rachel.

What was that?

Nice guys finish last.

Not always.

And they never get the girl.

That was a really long time ago.

Oh, you've got to be joking.

Here, let me have a go.

It's claustrophobic.

This isn't awkward.

All right, keep the noise down and find
a seat, please.

Hi, Mr Clarkson. I need a quick word
with Josh and Lauren, please.

Well, I can give you Josh.

Where's Lauren?

I thought that she must have got sent
home after work this morning.

No, I don't think so. Sam, do you know
where Lauren is?

I've not seen her since lunchtime. We
had a bit of a fallout.

Oh, I am popular.

Looking for Lauren Andrews. You and all?

No, she's not here.

I've got chemicals missing.

Hydrogen peroxide.

I left Lauren in the lab on her own and
that was the last time I saw it.

Well, why on earth would she take that?

I have no idea.

Is Lauren all right?

Sam, have you any idea where she might
have gone?

Think.

All I know is that he upset her this
morning.

Right, well, look, we need to find her.
Kim, will you let Rachel know?

Can I come too, please?

She's my friend.

What about me?

You stay there.

All right, everyone, can you just carry
on working as you are? I'll be back in

five minutes, OK?

I'm going to go find Miss Mason.

This is ridiculous. We're going to be in
here all night.

At least we won't starve to death.

Oh, thank you. That's a huge comfort.

What?

You always have to be in control, don't
you?

You always did.

Look, if I did something to you back
then, I didn't know about it.

I thought that you and I were friends.

Friends?

Well, that was sort of the problem.

Oh.

It's not my fault, is it?

Shouldn't you be over it by now?

Over it? What, I should have just got
over it? What do you think I've been

trying to do for the last umpteen years?

Oh, come on!

It's a good thing. I mean, losing the
weight, the attitude adjustment.

That was all thanks to you.

Look, we lost touch and you had to sort
myself out, and so I did.

Well, I'm happy for you. Well done.

Maybe I was a bit too eager to show off
that you'd improved Adam Fleet.

Maybe I came off as a bit of a jerk.

A bit.

All right, a total another jerk.

Adam, look.

Rachel? Yes, hello, Kim, we're in here.

Kim? We're in here, Kim.

What? Can you let us out?

What? Thank you.

What are you doing in there?

Joyce, could you come down? I don't...
Guess.

Finn Sharkey, I want to see him in my
office. Well, he's going to have to

All right.

All the tears I cry

OK, look, don't panic.

Right, get into the showers, rinse it
off. Go on.

Sam, go and get this maker as quick as
you can, please.

I just wanted it to go away.

It's really worth it, wasn't it?

No, you'll be fine. It's just a little
bit red, that's all.

No, I just... I don't want anyone to
know.

I don't want Josh to know.

He thinks I'm a freak already.

Did he say that?

Sam, where are you?

Chris, through here!

Look, I told you I'd rinse it under the
water. Tell me I've done the right thing

and don't make it worse. Is

she

all right? Not really.

She's had a near miss with a chemical
burn.

What was she doing?

She was trying to get rid of her
birthmark, Josh.

Apparently someone made her feel so damn
miserable about it, she felt burning

herself was the only way to deal with
it.

Is that what was going on in my English
lesson?

Was it?

Josh. It weren't just me.

She's supposed to be your friend.

She's been nothing but nice to you since
you got here and you do this to her. I

didn't do anything to her.

What?

I'm ashamed of you.

For the very first time.

And I don't like it.

And I don't like you very much.

I didn't know she was going to get that
upset. Well, now it's your turn to get

upset, because I'm cancelling your
party.

Oh, that's tight, that.

Why? Because you don't deserve it.

Don't walk away from me when I'm talking
to you. Get back here.

And you lot, do one. I'm talking to
Josh.

Oh, and you, Miss Mason wants a word
with you before you go home. And Finn,

don't ever use one of my lessons to
victimise the people again. You've got

I don't know what you're talking about,
sir. Of course not.

I mean it.

No party and you're grounded for two
weeks. Now get out of my sight.

Were you wanted to see me?

Yeah, but I'm sorting something else out
right now. Fine, I'll come back

tomorrow. No, no, no, you can wait.

Come on, you.

Grantley?

Miss Campbell?

As you can see, I've made it to the end
of another day.

Yeah, well, I suppose we should be
thankful for that, eh?

Look, I've had a word with Rachel, and
she agrees.

She thinks you should have some time
off. In fact, well, she couldn't believe

that you were still managing to get into
work at all.

Has been a struggle.

So, er, how long were you thinking,
then?

For your recovery?

Perhaps till the end of term.

Is that all?

What do you think, longer?

Well, we were wondering if you might
like to make it permanent.

What? You are an acute case of
depression.

I mean, when I re -read this leaflet,
you wrote your textbook, aren't you?

Oh, well... You are showing all the
major signs of having a breakdown.

I wouldn't say that. I'm not sure we
should even be letting you in classrooms

with kids.

You could snap at any time.

What? How dare you?

I'm not some kind of nutcase.

No. No, I think there's plenty of method
in your madness, Grunley.

So?

If you're feeling better, Joe's looking
forward to spending some time with you

on the London trip.

Look, before this goes any further, I
have not had a chance to explain myself.

No, that's because I don't want to hear
any more lies from you, Ruby.

I just don't know what options I've got
left with you.

The farm trip that...

The state of your whole department and
now this?

Yeah, wait, because I can't explain.

You organised a school event so you
could make money from the kids.

No! No, it wasn't like that. I didn't
even have the idea and... It

wasn't like that.

And I haven't made a profit and I had to
take everything off the website and it

cost me money to put it on there in the
first place. So, you know, actually, I'm

out of pocket.

Oh, I'm supposed to feel sorry for you,
am I?

Mm -hm.

I'm worried that you might be suffering
from depression.

I'm not depressed.

I just don't like to earn a dirty
laundry in public.

Well, that's fine, but if you don't
talk, then I can't protect you.

Look, I know that I have messed up, you
know, and I'm sorry, and I promise, I

promise it won't happen again.

Let's get this clear. If I see you in
this office again, I'm going to be

to start disciplinary proceedings
against you.

Oh, no, but... No.

But nothing. I don't need or want
teachers like you, Ruby.

You know where you stand. You can go.

Stay where you are.

Lauren? Hiya.

You alright?

How's it?

It's a bit sore, but it's not too bad.

Have you got something to say to her?

Yeah.

Well, I'll leave you to say it then.

Does it hurt?

Yes.

God, I'm really, really sorry.

You know, I didn't mean it, Lauren.

Then why do it?

You know what it's like when you're with
your mates and... But I thought I was

your mate.

You are.

Look, I'm not the only one who did
something stupid.

Yeah, but I only hurt myself.

But it's the same thing, innit?

We have the same problem.

Oh, really?

So where's your birthmark, then?

No, what I'm saying...

is we both want to be like everyone
else.

You don't want to be the... The school
freak?

No, and I don't want to be the new kid
whose dad's a teacher.

Oh, well, that must be awful for you.

I'm just explaining.

Yeah, but you are the new kid, and Mr
Clarkson is your dad, and you acting

a total idiot isn't going to change
that.

Just like I can't do anything to change
what's on my back.

So, if you don't like what I am...

Is that enough to keep you alive?

I really, really like being your friend.

It's just hard sometimes.

Do you get that?

Yeah, I guess.

Maybe I'll just have to try a bit
harder.

A lot harder.

Okay.

Idiot. Oh, bring it on sometime, because
I am so idiotic to you.

Why the hell... Are you all right? I'm
really sorry, yeah.

I saw you there, but you weren't
indicating.

Wasn't I?

I should have just let you out.

I'd never forgiven myself if I'd have
damaged your car.

Or you, for that matter.

Well, no harm done, eh?

That's the good news.

Why, what's the bad news?

I've been talking to a beautiful lady
like yourself and I still don't know

name.

It's Stephanie, but you can call me
Steph. Oh, no, I like the full Monty.

Stephanie, it suits you.

I'm Oliver.

Hi, Oliver.

What do you say to a brandy, Stephanie?

It's gonna be alright.

You reckon?

Yeah.

I'm sure it's some cake.

Well, that makes it all alright, then.

I'm really sorry, Dad.

So am I.

What are you sorry for?

I'm sorry because I don't think it's
working, Josh.

I don't think it's doing you any good
living with me.

Cake's in the fridge.
