Right, the police are on their way and I
suggest... Now, Mrs Fisher, what's the

last day?

I'm sorry.

Did they take anything?

Hmm?

Well, I mean, it's hard to tell.

But it's not like there's anything worth
making.

There are hundreds of thousands of
pounds worth of equipment in this

you conduct a thorough search?

No, just a half -hearted one.

Do you remember when we conducted the
interview and I said I needed someone

really level -headed for this job?

I'll give the whole place a going over.
And if I find anything or anyone, you'll

be the first to know.

I've got my lamp, if you need it.

It scared me.

Thank you. It's a stroke of luck, you
can't plug me in. If I stay,

I'm frustrated.

I'll love you more.

I don't know about you, but I'm not
looking at anyone in the face.

I'm not looking at anyone in the face.
And if anybody says hello, I'm like

totally blank on you. Totally.

Are you two twins?

No, we're one twin actually.

And don't talk to us again.

Totally blank.

You managed to drag yourself out of bed
and bring yourself to school, did you?

Vicky insisted.

Yeah, well, it's not like we need
parents to get us up in the morning.

Yeah, well, if I had my own place,
there's not a chance I'd be getting out

bed till at least 11.

Yeah, well, Vicky's like, I'm going to
get my A -levels no matter what. Uh,

yeah, me too.

Unless, um, something gets in the way.

You're, uh, CCTV cameras.

They're knackered.

Mind you, I did flag it up over the
summer. A little electronic message.

Find it in your inbox.

Oh, yes.

Along with the other 40 emails he sent
me.

Well, you don't keep the mail yourself.

Might as well have a flashing neon sign
saying, please burgle.

Good idea, though I think it might
affect our insurance premiums.

Rob, it's really great that you're our
new site manager.

I know what you're thinking.

Posh words for caretaker.

No. Well, hey, you know, might be after
your job soon.

Well, I hope you do a better job of
reducing overheads than me.

I usually start with staffing costs.

Touché.

It's probably just kids mucking about.
It's not difficult to break into this

school. Well, you and I know that.

But he's only been here five minutes.

I really don't need the new site manager
telling me how to do my job.

Who the hell does he think he is?

Sounds like it's made quite an
impression.

Right, good morning, everyone.

If I could just have your attention for
a few seconds, please.

As I'd like to take this opportunity to
introduce our new members of staff, and

we have Eleanor Chowdhury here in
English.

Hi, everyone. And you may recognise
Eleanor from the pages of our local

newspaper. Young Conservative Candidate
of the Year.

Two years in a row.

Eleanor has some new and very exciting
ideas to share with the English

department.

Thank you, Miss Chowdhury.

And Mr Daniel Chalk here in maths.

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to
getting stuck in.

Yeah, that's what we like to hear, isn't
it? A bit of enthusiasm.

That's what you'll get from me. All the
way, 100%. What?

Welcome to the team, and I look forward
to seeing you in assembly.

And the classroom is starting to look a
bit crowded as well.

Thought I might spruce it up.

Right. Yeah, I'll admit I like a bit of
order in my classroom.

I don't mean to be too doom and gloom,
but you might find your list of fun

things to do a little bit hard to
enforce.

Is that so?

Well, it's not as easy as you
politicians like to make out.

I was a teacher before I got involved in
local politics, Tom.

Smuggy bloody thatch.

Hey.

What you did?

Er, nothing.

Just thought I'd forgotten the
coursework, but I found it's fine.

What are you doing after school?

I have to check my diary, see if you're
in luck.

I know it's all mine.

And that's you keeping your head down,
was it? Dad, I told you, don't come near

me.

Do you know what? Anyone would think
you're ashamed of your old man.

Have you not got light bulbs to change?
Seriously?

Look at the state of you.

There.

That's there.

Well, it's a bit better.

What's with the attitude?

After all the hassle you've given me.

Let's not go through this again. It's
getting boring, Dad.

We're not exactly loaded at the minute
and I really need this job.

If only to pay for your mistakes, huh?

I've told you, I'll keep it clean.

You better, son.

And I want you to meet me after school.

Make sure you don't get lost going home.

What?

All right, quiet and down, everybody,
please.

Thank you.

Now, I'm sure you've all been desperate
to get back to school after your

holidays, but in future, I'd really like
you to wait until the doors are

actually unlocked.

I can understand one of you wanting to
break out of school, but in?

I'm not going to stand here and lecture
you on how disappointed I am, or to

talk about how much it's going to cost
to replace.

Instead, I'm going to give you the
benefit of the doubt that no one here is

responsible in any way for the break -in
this morning, because I know Waterloo

Road pupils aren't mindless vandals.

Hello? They take pride in their
environment and don't want to wreck it

things for their fellow pupils.

And I'm sure no one here wants to start
off a new school term on a negative

note.

Now, it's no secret that these are
difficult times.

But we mustn't let that affect our
outlook or our behaviour.

So this year we're going to focus on the
positives.

We're going to focus on what we do well.

Because that's what this school is all
about.

And I know you're going to work very
hard to help Waterloo Road

go from strength to strength.

So let's put this...

Hey, you better have a good excuse for
interrupting this official.

I found him in the changing room. Oh, I
thought he'd found a baby.

Miss, someone's left a baby.

He's a newborn, by the looks of it. He's
a little boy.

Is he okay? Is he breathing?

He's still warm.

I don't know how long he's been there.

Excuse me, are you listening?

All of you, back in your seats and calm
down.

Hey, you've got a mental list, haven't
you? Take to your classes, please.

Not yours, is it, Sam? Something you
need to tell Finn?

I hope not. What better thing to be
doing than popping out babies?

Right, so if someone just drops the
scotch, carries it into school and just

dumps it in this filthy place, I mean,
hello.

I tell you, there's some dodgy slappers
round here.

I

can't

get my head around this.

You read about this kind of thing in the
papers, but... What would make someone

do that?

Nobody abandons their baby without good
reason.

We need to beat this dog.

And I'm afraid, trawl the school, class
by class.

With the mum still here, we need to find
her ASAP.

We don't yet know who the mother is.

But if she's in this school, we'd like
to help her, if we can. If anyone knows

anything or thinks that a friend or a
classmate is in trouble, then please

and tell us.

Well, maybe it's the teacher's baby.

All right, Denzel.

Well, how do you know it's not?

Denzel!

Any reward for information?

Whoever the mother is, I want her to
know she can go to any number of staff

without fear of judgment.

We're really worried about her. We want
to help.

What are they getting the police for?
Because a serious crime has been

committed. Sit down!

You can't just dump a baby.

Who said it were dumped?

All right, that's enough chat.

Miss, I think I need to go to the
toilet.

OK, five minutes, then straight back
here.

Now that I've got your attention,
perhaps you could focus on me?

Well, anything we can do to help find
the mum without disrupting the school

severely. We'll do what we can, but
we'll need to keep this area cordoned

And could you get us a list of all the
girls in the school?

We might need to do a locker and bag
search too.

Okay, but we don't want this to turn
into a witch hunt. It'd be a good idea

check the windows.

You know where she came in?

Well, you might find a fingerprint.

I think the police know how to do their
job.

Just as well some of us do.

I hear the school's CCTV cameras aren't
working out front.

Is the school always so lax about
security?

Well, I'm sure the police don't need
reminding how cash -strapped public

services are these days.

We're getting them fixed, first thing.

of the classroom.

Miss Chowdhury's solution for a fun
lesson.

Number one, no shouting out. Leave it.
Number two, always put your hand up.

Number three, no swinging on chairs.
Number four, always face the front.

Five, always listen to others.

Number six... Oh, check out that booger.

Sam,

get them off.

Boy!

Don't play smart with me, Sonny. I mean
you. Stand up.

You've singled yourself out as a
troublemaker. I do not tolerate

So sit back down and keep your mouth
shut.

Do you really think I look like a total
dog?

Well, come on, tell me the truth. Have
you heard a single word I've said,

Will you just shut up?

I'm talking to a boyfriend.

So you've been teaching these kids,
right? I do

not have a clue what they've got in
there.

I'll take them back up to the storeroom,
sir. I'll make sure that you do.

Anyone would think I like beacons with
this one. You take your hair and it's

biggy. I don't even know why it's not
bothered.

Yeah, maybe an hour in the cooler will
help you understand.

What's going on?

I've got this one firing abuse.

What have you been up to, Zambuca?
Nothing, miss.

And another one's gone AWOL. Who?

Ali wrote back. Said she was going to
the toilet ten minutes ago. I haven't

her since.

Right. I'm going to have a look for her.
You deal with Sam.

Ali,

are you in here?

Can you unlock the door please?

I need you to come out.

Don't mind me.

I just found it.

Ali, wait a minute.

What is it?

Ali, what's going on? Nothing.

Just leave me alone. I'm fine.

Mr Mead, can you clear the corridor,
please?

Yes. OK, everyone, can you make your way
back down the corridor, please?

Ali, we need to get you to hospital.

Just to make sure you're all right.

If there's anything you need, I'm here.

I promise.

Is he all right?

I didn't want to hurt him, miss.

I didn't know what else to do.

I believe you.

I'm sure you did what you thought was
right at the time.

You've done nothing to be ashamed of,
Annie.

Miss.

Settle down, please.

Come on, everybody, settle down.

This is class discovery.

Oh, look at your glasses.

Oh, bless.

O -M -T. Bar for Ray. If he comes near
me, I'm just going to have to tell him

straight. Take a shower.

Listen, please.

Listen, listen.

Now, I know you've all had an exciting
start, but I want some quiet now,

Here you go, baby sir.

No, it is not my baby. Anyone had it off
with Chuck?

Mr. Chuck.

See, I'm just trying to find out whose
baby it is, sir. Just like Mr. Me told

to. Yeah, well, just so you know, we
don't know where the baby's come from.

What?

You don't know where the baby's come
from?

Oh, sir.

Would you like us to show you? No, no,
listen, that's not what I meant.

Hey, hey, hey, no, no, settle down. Come
on, settle down.

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

Your starting module is... Algebra!

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

Listen, right. If X equals 10, Y equals
15,

then...

I can wait all day if I need to.

Come on.

I'm going to call your mum, Ali.

Get her to meet us at the hospital.

And if you like, you can see your baby.

Please don't call me mum.

She doesn't know.

I have to, I'm afraid.

You'll just make it worse.

Look, things...

really won't seem so bad once you've had
the chance to sit down and talk about

it. And you won't be on your own.

I'll be there.

How could we not know she was pregnant?

I don't know.

She was struggling last term. Her grades
had slipped a bit and I had a word with

her. Struggling with what?

Boyfriend? Trouble at home?

Her mum's brought her up on her own, but
they've got a really strong bond.

Well, that just makes me wonder why she
couldn't tell her mum.

I think we know who the missing mum is
now.

I can't believe it. I didn't think she
liked guys. No.

Hey, we know who the dad is too, look.
Shut it, Sharky.

It's not mine, right? Yeah, well,
someone got her banged up.

OK, I fessed up. I'm the dad.

We're getting married.

Her body just did it for me.

You think this is funny?

You think this is a joke?

Hey. Don't take it out on him. He's not
the one banging kids out without

knowing. Who's the daddy?

You's the daddy. Shut it.

You've got a spot, Kyle.

Deal with it. Anything for the benefits,
man.

Just lie here for me, Ellie. I'll be
back in a sec.

And we'll have a little chat and I'll
examine you.

All right?

You've been through a massive ordeal.

There are people you could have talked
to, Ellie.

Your mum.

One of your teachers.

Me.

Might have helped to talk through your
options.

What options?

He only found out a couple of months
ago.

Must have been terrified.

Giving birth all on your own.

Were you at home?

I was in the garage.

You can't hear from the house.

So you put the baby into school.

You didn't want to leave him in the
garage.

I couldn't.

No one would find him there.

Why didn't you tell me?

She's meant to be my girlfriend.

What if it's not mine?

Maybe that's why she dumped it.

She's been with other people. Well,
whatever's going on, there's no point

beating yourself up until you know more.

Whoa, whoa, hang on.

You need to calm down before you phone
her.

What if it is mine?

Why would she dump it?

My kid. You don't even know that's
what's happened yet, so just sit down

relax.

I never asked to be a dad.

I'm 17.

What do I know about nappies and stuff?

The pressure's a little high and you're
a touch anemic, so I want to keep an eye

on that.

Other than that, you're all clear.

Your baby is, too.

I'll get someone to bring him up if
you'd like.

I left him.

I don't deserve him.

The best place for that little knight is
with his mum.

He's got a fine pair of lungs on him.

Probably wants feeding.

He can have a go if he wants.

Do you think he'll forgive me for what I
did?

I think that it's what happens next that
matters.

You reckon I can do it?

Ali! I'll kill her.

Honest to God, I will. Sarah, don't be
too hard on her.

This is red back. It's Mrs Pearson now.

Ali, what have you done? I'm sorry, Mum.

I'm really sorry.

I realise this must...

Be a big shock for you both. Shock?

I might as well give up now.

My only daughter has a baby at 16 and I
didn't even know about it. Whose is it,

love? Tell me who it is and I'll sort
him out. Look, I know this is difficult,

but I think we should be talking about
how we can help Ali.

Bit late for that.

Damage is already done.

Don't know how you think we can afford
to feed another mouth. What with Callum

being out of work.

I never meant it to happen.

I'm sorry.

It's all right, love.

Hey, just give me the boy's name. I'll
make sure he puts his hand in his

We don't need his money.

It's not like she's keeping it. She
dumped it, for Christ's sake.

Mrs Pearson, I'll have a word with you.

Look, Ali has just been through the most
incredibly traumatic experience, and I

don't really think this is helping.

There'll be plenty of time to sit down
and work out what happens next, but

now I think she needs your support.

We only did it a couple of times.

She said she was OK.

Like, she wouldn't get pregnant.

Your sexual behaviour is your
responsibility, not Ali's.

She's not the only girl I've shagged.
Really?

Then I hope for your sake you've been a
little bit more careful with all the

others.

Well, all right, there weren't that
many.

Maybe one.

But that doesn't count.

But Ali, she was ages ago. I can't even
remember how long.

Then she started acting weird, like...
One minute she liked me, next it was get

off me. Like frigid. I couldn't work her
out. You definitely didn't know that

she was pregnant, Kyle.

No way.

Not until she started acting funny
today.

Okay.

Listen to me.

You don't need to do anything until
you've thought all this through.

But if that baby is yours, then it is
your responsibility.

You wait here for two minutes.

Two words.

Kyle Stack.

He's the dad?

So he thinks.

Do you believe him? Well, he's not
exactly over the moon about it and I

see why he'd lie.

How's Ali?

Well, I thought I was getting somewhere
with her. And then her mother and

stepfather turned up and she clammed up
again.

Parents work best, please. I'll take
you.

Understatement. I've got to explain why
she dumped the baby.

Probably scared how they'd react.

Maybe. I'll try and have a quiet word
with her.

See if I can speak to her again.

Okay. I'll talk to you later. Bye.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la. Oh, dear.

I was going to let you out for morning
break, but I won't now.

Boring, boring.

Dear, oh, dear. And lunchtime too?

Sign here, please.

And what would that be?

That is a simple description of your
behaviour.

Sign.

You're behaving like you want to be in
here the whole term.

Further insubordination.

Sign here, please.

Can I have a word, Miss Sheldrake?

Sign.

What's happened?

What's she done?

Nothing a two -week exclusion wouldn't
sort out. She's a troublemaker. Sam is a

good kid when you get to know her. It's
just about how you handle her, that's

all. I'm a teacher, not a handler.

That's enough!

Look, is this some kind of personality
clash?

If making sure this girl behaves
properly is construed as a personality

then it's no wonder this girl's going to
the dog.

In your opinion?

You can write... essay for me now, 500
words on insubordination, the refuge of

the ignorant.

You alright there?

Yeah, I just, um, I came for some glue.

The leg on my desk is just a bit loose.

Right, I'll put a couple of screws in it
for you.

Listen, listen, it doesn't matter. It's
not that bad.

Yeah, maybe I shouldn't sit on it, eh?

And I don't think school furniture's
made for the heavier frame.

What are the kids taking to make?

Well, you know, a new teacher and that.
It's water off a duck's back.

You know, you might want to try
identifying the troublemakers.

You know?

Just one by one, take them to a quiet
place somewhere and tell them.

No second chances. Yeah, bring them
here, can't I?

Or you could try talking to them as
you're facing the blackboard.

It makes them think you've got eyes at
the back of your head.

Or you could try talking to them from
the back of the class sometime, so they

don't know what you're up to.

You've learned a lot on your own,
haven't you?

Not just a pretty face with a broom.

Beautiful. I didn't realise before.

I won't get too attached, love.

Not ready to be a mum yet, are you,
darling?

You don't have to make any decisions
yet.

With all due respect, Mrs Fisher, I
think we can take it from here.

But thank you.

Of course you can.

I just want Ali to know she has options.

And we'll be sure to go through them
with her, won't we?

You know, that's our job.

Our teachers.

Of course.

I'm sorry about that.

And about going off on one earlier.

I just... I hate to see you making the
same mistakes I did.

Callum means well.

He's been the best dad, but...

Ali's been an ample ever since we got
together.

Well, it must have been difficult for
her.

Suddenly getting a new stepdad after all
this time. Yeah, but she's 16.

She's got to learn to grow up.

Maybe this is what they need.

A bit of time together.

Give them a chance to bury the hatchet.

I can't believe this, Ali.

She should have told me.

Hey, we've just got to deal with it now
and put it behind us.

and put the baby up for adoption.

Just trying to help you here, babe.

You understand that?

The sooner we can put this behind us,
the sooner we can get back to life as

normal.

Hey.

Good girl.

Your mate dropped something.

Tell her from me, don't play theory
games.

If she fancies me, we're the direct
approach.

Do you not fancy her?

I really noticed her.

Too busy looking at her mate.

Adam. Nice to meet you.

Ricky McDonald.

I look forward to seeing more of you.

Thank you, Donald.

You all right, Sam?

No.

You're such a bitch. How am I supposed
to do this by the end of the day?

Don't.

What, I'm getting a bit of tension?

Oi.

Shouldn't you be out buying nappies or
something?

It's all right, mate. I'd be pissed off
if I was a dad at your age, too.

Especially. If the mum tried to dump the
kid because she was too embarrassed to

own up... Put a sock in it.

So you are the dad, then?

Well, you either are or you aren't,
Kyan.

Might be.

Poor kid. And what are you doing about
it?

You could bloke that.

Get a girl pregnant and do a runner.

Just like my dad.

And Joe's.

All right, then. A -level chemistry.

Come on, you two, you're late.

Where's Carl Stapp? I think he's finally
bailed, sir.

Hey, he's probably going to join Barbers
for just a moment.

No. He's going to do the right thing,
actually.

For what?

Now that's done, we can all get home,
eh?

Let's see how you're doing in a couple
of hours, then we'll see.

She's fine.

You're fine, aren't you, Al?

I'm sure we'd all rather be safe than
sorry.

Oh, you think you know better than me?

Eh?

I asked you a question.

Helen, I think you'd best calm down, Mr
Pearson.

For Ali's sake, I'm sure the last thing
she needs at the moment is a scene.

A scene?

I'll give you a scene.

Why don't you take your husband for a
cup of coffee or something stronger?

She's right, Callum. Come on. I'm going
nowhere.

She's a bad influence.

Don't be daft.

For ten minutes.

Look, I'm sure your nerves are shot to
pieces after the day you've had.

I know mine are, so why don't you treat
your doctor a cup of tea, at least?

Is he always like that?

What?

Well, he got a bit scary then.

He's a bit strict, is he?

Yeah.

With everybody except himself.

You don't seem to like him very much.

That doesn't matter.

You didn't choose your stepfather.

He can be dead generous.

You know, like he got me designer
trainers and that.

Well, I feel generous.

Especially if he doesn't have a job.

And do these gifts just turn up out of
the blue?

No. So what, for birthdays?

Does your mum know about these expensive
coats, Ali?

Miss,

it's a secret.

Why would you want to keep a secret from
your mum, Ali?

Because he made me.

You can say his name, Annie.

Colin.

You are not to blame.

Do you understand?

I am.

Little love, he will never, ever harm
you again.

You have my word on that.

It's over.

All right?

You've been so brave.

Oh, dear, Mitchell.

Hello, it's Karen Fisher from Waterloo
Road.

I've just been talking to Ali and
there's something I need to speak to you

about.

Ali, I need to talk to you.

So this is my baby, yeah?

You shouldn't be here, Kyle.

You need to go.

But if it's my kid, I need to know.

It's nothing to do with you.

Leave, please.

Don't lie to me, Ali. I know it's mine.

Kyle, listen. Look, I know you might not
think like I could be a great dad,

but... I like you.

I really do.

And I know you like me too.

So what I'm saying is...

I'll give it a go.

Who's this?

What's going on? You need to go, Kyle,
now, please.

Sorry if you didn't, then. Stay away
from her. Just get out of here. I can't

this. I've got rights. Get your hands
off me.

Get your hands off me. Kyle!

I'm not surprised there's a pupil at
your school.

Kyle, wait!

I just came to help, miss.

It's my kid.

I think it might be a bit more
complicated than that.

Look, go back to school and stay out of
this for now.

I'll come and talk to you later.

Go on.

Trust me.

Check it out.

I'm going to break some sort of record
here.

Ronan, don't be so stupid. You're going
to break your neck.

Ten. Eleven.

Don't be daft, you divvy. That's school
property.

Thirteen.

Fourteen.

Fifteen.

It really wouldn't be nice if you fell
on your coccyx, would it?

Watch it, mate.

Who's that guy think he is?

You gonna tell him, Aidan?

It's my dad. Have you got a problem?

No.

Sorry, I was just... At least he thought
you're looking like an idiot.

Sorry, mister.

Sorry. Don't worry, mate. It's not my
responsibility.

Brave words from somebody who used
rubber sheets till they were 12 years

Well, you're not the only one with a
parent in the school, either.

Yeah, well, like I said, he's got his
life and I've got mine.

My mum's the headteacher, Mrs Fisher.

So we've got something in common, then?

Yeah. Well, you're not telling me it's
easy having your old Dave pull you round

all day?

It's a pain in the backside.

You can say that again.

So do you know any way we could escape,
say?

You're a bit fully esophagized now.

Hope you enjoy it.

You've ruined my lunch.

Perhaps you won't be so keen to mouth
off next time.

I'm sorry if it's a bit messy.

I had to rush it, didn't I?

I'll read it later, fam.

Thank you.

So, enjoying your first day?

As if.

You and Jessie had to hit it off.

You were jealous, weren't you?

What, me?

Well, I'm not surprised with that brat
of a boyfriend.

Yeah, well, he's not just my boyfriend.

We're living together.

Oh, so he was practicing his moves
before.

Well, if you ever want someone who's not
just playing at it, I'm available.

Yeah, well, just because me and Ronan
are living together doesn't mean it

wind up shot now, does it?

Kyle, I want a word with you.

You're well out of order. Where have you
been?

Doing the right thing.

Before I could have did me.

She told me to do one.

Like a right moppet now.

After everything that I said to you
about thinking things through.

Right, well, you can wait in the cooler
till Mrs Fisher gets back.

See how much of a moppet you look then.

You still here, then?

Yes, because I'm concerned about my
pupil.

I'm also waiting to speak to D .S.
Mitchell. She's on her way over here.

Why?

She wants to talk to Ali about the
baby's father.

I've had enough of this.

I'm taking my family home.

If the police want to speak to Ali, they
can do it there.

She's gone.

I think we need another word about
Zambuca Kelly.

This is more than a discipline issue.
She's been behaving erratically all day.

You've just described 90 % of the pupils
in this school.

Yes, I know, of course, but I just can't
help thinking there's something else

going on. And I can't help but thinking
that maybe you've got problems of your

own. Like I said, Sam's a good kid.
Maybe it's your teaching that needs more

work.

Well, how do you explain this essay, I
said?

It's barely English, never mind A
-level.

I won't go for that.

She's having you on. Well, she's out of
her depth.

And you need to do something about it.
Fine.

I'll have a word.

In my own time.

I'm still the head of the department
round here, not you.

Sir, you need to go to the toilet. It's
urgent.

A likely story.

Please, sir. It's a proper emergency, I
promise.

Did you mean what you said about taking
care of me and the baby?

Did you mean that?

Do you swear?

Yeah, of course.

But... I need you to help us get away
from him, Kyle.

Please.

What do you mean?

What? Has something happened?

Annie, what's going on?

They're going to take him away from us.

Put him up for adoption.

You can't let them do that, Kyle.

I won't let them.

I won't.

We need to go.

Now.

If we don't, we'll never see him again.

We need to get him away from him, Kyle.

Fast.

You can trust me.

Oi, you two!

Come on. Stay where you are!

Have you any idea why Ali's back here?

Sit there.

Listen, this situation's a bit more
complicated than we first thought.

I'm 99 % sure the stepfather's been
abusing her.

What?

So don't let her go anywhere. I'm on my
way back.

You know where they are, don't you?

They're at the school.

Which makes it a school matter.

You're not going to lie, are you?

Get out of my way.

What's going on? Keep him away from her.

Alan!

This is death, Alan. Just face him. The
fuck I'll sort it for us. Don't worry.

Just keep him away from me.

Just leave us alone. This is our baby.
Alan!

Alan!

Alan! Alan, listen to me. Listen, you'll
tell him. I swear to God.

Nobody's going to believe that came on
to you anyway, are they? They won't

believe it. Listen, Ali, please.

Get away from her!

This is none of your business!

I don't want him pushing me again!

She's talking crap!

Ali, tell the truth.

I'm sorry, Mum.

I'm so sorry. Shut up, Ali! Leave her
alone!

Do what?

Chris! You Chris!

Enough!

I knew this school had problems, but I
really have seen everything now.

No, you haven't.

Not till you've been here another 25
years, you haven't seen the half of it.

Which is why we tend to need a drink of
an evening. Most nights, anyone fancy

joining me for a trip to the pub?

Not joining them, Daniel?

Oh, no, I've got stuff to do at home.

Well, I'm just finishing up here. We'll
both go.

Talk more tactics, if you like.

Yeah, I'll see you there.

Kyle?

So that's it, then.

It's not my kid.

Why would you lie to me?

Let me think that it was mine.

Hey, there's no use blaming Ali, or
yourself for that matter.

This was a difficult situation,
whichever way you look at it.

Do you?

I suppose I was getting used to the idea
of being a dad, and...

I was kind of looking forward to it.

You know how to look after her, right?

Still will.

Doesn't matter whether the baby's mine
or not, does it?

You tried to do the grown -up thing
today.

And I'm sorry if I was a bit harder on
you earlier.

You were ready to stand by, Ali.

You should be proud of yourself.

I can't believe it.

How did it happen?

My own husband under my own roof.

I tried to stop him.

I was too scared to say no.

I thought if I could make it all go
away, forget about things, we

could all just get on with our lives,
carry on as normal.

And then...

When I saw my baby for the first time in
the hospital, I knew I was

going to have to give him up.

I couldn't.

I couldn't let Callum ruin my baby's
life as well.

You should have told me that I stopped
it. I was scared, Mum.

I still am.

Please. Ali needs your love and support
now more than at any other time in her

life, Sarah.

The school can only go so far.

But if you don't have each other...

I'm sorry, love.

I am so sorry.

I love you.

You know that, don't you?

I think I need a word about today, don't
you?

I'm not in the mood, Tom. Will you just
leave me alone? Look, I've not been in

the mood for the earache I've been
getting off Miss Chowdhury, but I've had

listen to it. Get in.

I thought this was a fresh start for
you. What's happened? It is.

I'm trying.

Right, well, what do you call this
essay, then? A wind -up?

I just can't get my head together. I
can't focus.

I'm serious, Tom. I'm trying my best.

I spoke to social services.

Ali has been taken into temporary care
until the police investigation is over.

You did the right thing, Karen.

There's nothing else you could have
done.

I wish I could say the same about the
way you behaved.

Guy's a monster. If you hadn't stopped
me, I'd still be punching him now.

What, and end up in jail beside him?
Yeah, good idea.

Well, how do we stop this kind of thing
from happening again?

I don't know.

Install spy cameras in their homes?

I tell you, we wouldn't have half the
damaged kids we've got.

It's a job, I'm afraid.

Oh, just when I thought I worked in
every loony bin possible.

Well, this place, I mean.

Mind you, I could have done with a
headteacher like you when I was growing

You'd have kept me in line.

That's kind of you to say so, Rob.

Thanks.

Just don't let it go to your head.

It might burst.

I'll see you tomorrow.

You will.

No early alarm calls, I promise.

See you, daughter.

Don't even think about it.

So just stay out of the way.

All right.

Sam, I haven't finished yet. I'm
finished with you, Tom. Can you not just

me alone?

This is an A -level year you can't
afford to mess about.

I told you I'm not messing about.

I can't concentrate. I can't see
properly.

Tom, I don't know what's wrong with me.

Sam.

Sam. Sam.

Sam.

Sam.

Sorry, Tom.

Tom. Tom.

Tom. Tom.

Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom.

Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom.

Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom.
Tom.

Tom.

Tom.

Tom. Tom.

Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom.
Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom.

Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom.
Tom. Tom.

Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom.
Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom.

Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom.

Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom.
Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom.

Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom.

Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom.
Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom.

Tom.

Tom.

You're surrounded by people going
through the same thing.

Nobody's going through what I am. What's
your problem? What have you got to

worry about?

Your mum doesn't understand you. I've
got cancer.
