Will you marry me?

Vicky? Both know you're not going to
marry Rona.

Why not?

Because you want me.

Hey, hey, no, no, settle down. If X
equals 10, then... You just need to get

confidence up.

Teenagers, they smell fear.

Yeah, and I'll reek.

I thought we said it wasn't going to be
a date.

Well, yes, we did, but we're here.

And I'm wearing a shirt.

I know.

Looks good on you.

Got a visitor.

Mum's back.

Rob. Good to see you.

Been a while.

Naomi?

Look, I... I need to know when you're
going to leave. I'm not putting up with

empty cupboards a day longer.

Now I can make you a decent breakfast.

You're not doing this.

You're not going to make a fool of me
again.

So just pack your bags. You're not like
you did last time.

And leave.

Please.

I don't even want to come to school
today. You don't ever want to come to

school. You start going at each other's
throats. It's her fault.

I'll swing for the period.

I'm not supposed to concentrate on
anything, especially with the court case

today. Just try, will you, Shona?

It'll be over soon, I promise.

Yeah, and then my life will be over.

We'll be back in an hour or so, OK?

Good.

Why don't you just let me see me
grandchildren?

Mum. You can drop that for the stars
because you're no daughter of mine.

It's you that's caused all of this.

You're trying to get rights over my kids
with your stupid application for

residence. I don't care what you say.

Nothing changes the fact that I brought
them up.

I'll see you in court.

I'll see you in hell.

Do you know...

The more I see you, the more I think
you're so like your dad.

Don't keep freezing me out, son.

Well, stop pretending everything's OK,
then.

I bet you've got all the girls chasing
after you, eh?

I wish you'd tell me if your dad's
seeing anyone.

Ask him yourself.

Just a sec, Tom.

I'm not letting you mess with his head.
Have you got that?

This isn't about Aidan, is it?

Oh, what, it's about me?

Do you think I want you back?

Is that what your therapist told you?

Well, I'd ask for a refund.

You're a runner, Naomi.

It's what you are. The moment things get
tough, you are out that door.

You can call that whatever you want, but
I don't want my son thinking that's the

right way to be.

So what should I do, Rob? Just
disappear?

Then what? You can pretend I don't
exist.

It's better than you coming and going
whenever you please.

I know what I've done to both of you.
Are you able to live with that every

Please.

Let me make it up to you.

I love you, Rob.

Always have done.

And I know you still love me.

I don't want you here when I get back.

He still loves you.

How sad is that?

I'm rolling in the big guns on this one.

Who? Richard Whitman.

No pressure, then. Just the director of
education.

I can't wait to see his face when he
sees what we're building here.

What other school's going to have a cafe
open to the whole community night and

day? Just hope it brings everyone
together.

Kids, pupils, mums and dads.

Grandparents. Speaking of which...

I think the courts decide what's going
to happen to the twins today.

Mrs Mansfield?

Thanks for volunteering today.

Could Mr Mead and I have a word with you
in my office?

Yeah, sure.

Obviously, we're concerned about how the
court's decision is going to affect the

girls, particularly Shona. Yeah, she's
very close to her now, isn't she?

I was 13 when I fell pregnant with Shona
and Rona.

Ever since she's had her claws in them.

OK, I went off the rails, and, yes, my
mother brought my twins up.

But I'm a different person now.

We hear that you've got a new boyfriend.

Best thing that's ever happened to me.
To me and the girls.

But she just wanted to ruin everything
for us, steal my kids from me. That's

I've had to fight the old cow.

Excuse me, French.

It's a shame it's come to this.

But believe me, I've tried everything.

Being reasonable, begging her, but no,
she's like that.

Well, let's hope we'll find a way
through this.

Yeah, if only for Shona and Rona's
sakes.

I'll let you know how it goes, Mrs
Fisher.

Yeah, check him out.

See if you don't feel sick enough for
him. Yeah, you're always feeling sick.

Only when I look at you.

Well, from now on, then, don't bother
looking. Bag your face up or something,

yeah? Pipe down, you two. Well, if it
was up to me, I'd never see you again.

just go and live with Nan like I wanted.
Yeah, you would do that, wouldn't you?

Cos you're selfish, you know what, and
you don't give a stuff about how Mum's

feeling. Mum didn't care about me when
she banished us from Nan.

Shut up!

Who are you shouting at? He's shouting
at you.

Cos some of us want to learn something.

Ah, see? See?

You're disrupting everyone's education.

Well, if you could teach.

We wouldn't be talking then, would we?

Oh, right. So you don't want to learn.
Well, you can go and stand up there in

that corner.

Go and get her away from me. I want to
get away from you!

Thanks, everyone.

Your favourite subject and mine,
quadratic equations.

So, let's find where the graph y equals
3x squared minus 6x minus 3 crosses the

x -axis. These tickets are going for a
fortune online.

Yeah, I know.

Don't know how, but Aidan managed to
sort it.

Aren't I the lucky one?

Yeah, if anyone knows how to play him,
it's Smoothboy Scotcher.

Well, he definitely does it for me.

You can thank me properly later.

How do you manage to look so good in
your work gear?

You want to see me without it?

What can I say?

Unbelievable, mate. Honestly.

Anyway, back to the real world.

There's a car boot sale that's at Jude's
primary tonight, if you're up for it.

No.

Well, we can't go splashing out on new
furniture for our place now we're saving

up for the big day.

I've been looking for you.

Oh, yeah?

I was held up at home.

Again? Mm, yeah.

A few problems with the house.

Anything in particular you wanted?

Yeah, I was...

Really impressed by your enthusiasm for
education.

And I just think that the school could
really use some of that.

And I wanted to know whether you'd like
to try your hand at being a teaching

assistant?

You could start today and sit in on a
couple of classes, if you like.

Today?

What about the cafe?

Well, you'd still need to be site
manager, but...

I think you could do both.

And, um, then if you like, we could, uh,
talk about it over

some dinner and a glass of wine tonight.

Karen, I... I don't know, I, um... I
don't...

Don't worry.

It's no obligation.

Yes, there is.

That sounds too good to miss.

Well, finish up what you're doing here
and, um... I tell you what, you can have

a baptism of fire and sit in on Miss
Chowdhury's love.

I thought you'd like that.

If you look hard enough, you can apply
quadratics to lots of different

situations in life.

For example, scoring.

A quadratics curve can demonstrate the
speed at which a football travels when

Rooney smacks it into the back of the
net.

What would you know about scoring?

What,

a girl had gone near him?

All right, all right, settle down.

Probably never, ever.

Even, don't I?

Turn to page 26, please.

Like a virgin, touched for the very
first time. All right.

Like a virgin, when your heart beats
next to mine.

What a racket.

Are you trying to save a cat thing, sir?

We're only showing her we're well sick
at singing.

What a shame they're not well sick at
maths. In fact, they're crap.

Well, at least I'm not a big fat...
Morrow.

No, just a poison little dwarf.

I'm going to Miss Fisher about this.

Miss, Mr. Charkin sorted me.

Did he now?

He called me a poison dwarf.

Well...

Not that I would excuse anyone for
insulting you.

Take a seat, Shona.

Was he responding to something you might
have said to him?

According to her.

Right, well, teachers have feelings too.

Look, I know things are really difficult
at home for you at the moment.

They're horrible.

I can't allow you to disrupt classes
because of it.

And I know that might sound really hard,
but we all have to obey the rules.

Even I do.

You come on now.

You go, you do.

I'll walk you back to your class.

You can apologise to Mr Chalk.

Hmm?

Is everything all right?

Yeah, I'm sorry. I've had a chat with
Shona. I've not seen my nan in ages.

It's like she's died or something.

I know it's not easy, Shona, but after
about a year or so, you'll be able to

make up your own mind who you want to
live with.

Because if I choose my mum, then my nan
will hate me.

And if I choose my nan, then my mum will
hate me.

Your nan and your mum will sort out
their differences because they love you

both.

Let's get you back.

Chris, can you find some cover for
Daniel? I don't want him messing up when

Richard's here. Well, we could do with
him in the cafe. Things are a bit

Well, you want to make an impression on
Richard, don't you?

I shouldn't have said what I said. I'm
sorry, Shona.

Shona?

I'm sorry, sir.

In you go.

Hey, great little double act you got
with your sister there.

Trading insults with a pupil is highly
unprofessional.

She was winding me up. You're
struggling, Daniel.

And I can't allow the pupil's education
to suffer.

That's just the way I teach, you know. A
bit of banter, a bit of joshing.

Your class is a borderline chaotic.

You need to assert yourself.

I want you to hook up with the
volunteers and sit for them in the cafe

You're suspending me from teaching.

They need someone to keep them on
schedule.

Well, yeah, but... The cafe's very
important.

The director of education's coming along
to see it later.

There's a lot resting on it.

Right.

I'll be back later to finish off.

All right, thanks.

You ready?

Yeah, I think so.

I told you they'd be a winner.

My mother's application for residence
has been denied.

If she tries to come near us again, I'll
make sure she ends up in jail.

Wait till I tell the girls.

Would you mind waiting until after
school to tell them? Only Shona's been

bit of trouble today already.

What is it this time?

I just had a tongue lashing off Karen.

Oh?

Basically told me to my face I'm a crap
teacher.

Karen said that.

Yeah, so she stuck me out here in a
community cafe where I can't do any

Well, there's a job to do here.

I don't know why I bother coming in day
after day after... Why, dear?

It's my last chance, Rob.

I can't pull it off here.

It's back to the box room with me mum
and dad.

All life is over.

Daniel, will you get a grip? This cafe
is Karen's grand plan, so it needs to be

something special. When you pull that
off...

You are so back in Karen's good books.

Think about it.

What's going on?

You and her having a big night out. You
never mentioned anything to me.

She's forcing me into it. You know what
she's like.

It's not my case.

You know I'd rather go with you.

Yeah? Why aren't you taking me, then?

And why have you not told Jess about
what she said you were going to?

Just let me get tonight out of the way,
and I'll tell her.

What are you doing?

I couldn't resist.

I'm

sorry

to interrupt, Miss Chowdhury.

Mr Scott... The doctor will be assisting
you today.

My radiator's working fine, thank you.

No, he wants to see how a classroom
works.

It's for his PGCE.

Well, thank you, but I don't need any
help.

Well, he will only be observing.

And I know how much you like to give
your colleagues the benefit of your

experience.

Mrs Fisher?

After the appraisal you gave me, I'm
surprised you trust me with a new

Hi.

Give out those of my some men, will you,
Mr Scotcher?

You do know the tech. Don't take it.

Is that the one about the two blokes
looking for work in California during

Great Depression?

Yeah, there's a character called George.

It's really clever.

And then there's Lenny.

He's a bit doolally tough.

Anyway, they've got this plan to get
themselves a piece of land.

And as the title states,

some plans can go off track.

The best laid schemes of mice and men,
Ganath, Dugley and Leasnod, but grief

pain for promised joy.

That's Robbie Burns.

Do you mind if I save you up?

Sir, you can help me.

No, me.

I used to write.

I used to write letters. I used to tell
my name.

I used to sleep at night.

Before the flashing lights.

What's he doing here?

Mum's going to flip. Put it.

By the time we met.

By the time we met.

It's your mother, love.

She got her own way.

She's going to stop me seeing you and
Rona.

So I just wanted to tell you how much I
love you.

Tell that to your sister, even if she
doesn't want to see me. Where are you

going?

What are you doing?

I'm coming with you now.

Can I have a bit of quiet, please?

I hope it's the fat controller.

Now, I know you've all been given your
specific jobs, but what I'm looking for

is someone, some volunteers to help me
with a little idea that I've had.

I thought we could put on a little show
here tonight.

What kind of a show?

Well, I know a couple of cracking little
singers in the school.

We could build a stage here, couldn't
we?

Does anyone know anything about music?

I did.

Right, good.

You could build a sound system, eh?
Blast the place.

Aidan, will you go and get some mics and
speakers for music?

You might need some cables as well.

Well, come on, everyone, don't just
stand there.

Armageddon.

Imagine it.

The lot of us wiped out in a flash.

Now, what would you leave behind to show
people who you really were,

that represented your generation?

Miss Fisher, we are supposed to be
practising speaking and listening, not

touching and feeling.

Oh, dear, oh, dear. Right, swap around,
change partners, listen to what they

have to say.

Oh, my wife, stop this.

What about now?

Okay. I'll do it.

You must know I am all over the place
right now.

I knew it.

Nothing. My mum came home the other day.

Well, why didn't you tell me?

I was just trying to work out how it
made me feel, to be honest.

She can't just come running back after
all that.

Has she said anything?

Where she's been, why she didn't?

Something's going on.

I'm sorry, Agent.

It must be a nightmare.

Do you want to talk about it?

It might be an idea.

It's quite nice and private, yeah?

Oh, respite.

From the futility of attempting to
bestow academic enlightenment on you

Well, did you impress?

I did my best.

Probably not good enough for Elna
Chowdhury.

Mind you, I don't think an Oxford Don
would come up to her standards.

She can be a bit... Up herself?

Well, I wouldn't put it like that.

So, we don't want to burn you out too
soon.

After Tom's class, do you want to get
back to the cafe?

Yeah. Oh, Karen, uh... About Daniel.

Yes, what do I know?

But I think there's a good teacher
there, really struggling to get out.

You've got a very kind heart, Rob.

Hey, you'll never find us in here.

Oh, we are?

Sit down.

You might bring me some milk.

Fantastic, you've won your case back.

No.

They've only gone and given so reverent
to Sandy, haven't they?

Shona said she's not going to let this
happen, you know. Good for you, Shona.

It's an absolute disgrace. OK,
everybody, eyes down.

We're not playing with 79 because he's
stuck.

They will have to make an appeal, OK?

And I need you to tell everybody exactly
what you told me, that you're not going

to let this happen.

No. No, I'm not, Nan. It's 64.

Oh, I'm going to get into a lot of
trouble all night for taking you away

school. No.

It's me who's going to get it.

Especially with Mum at school, aren't
we?

Your mum?

Yeah. She's helping out at some
community cafe thing.

Community cafe? What's all that about,
say?

There's going to be some open day thing
today, after school.

Thanks after this ticket.

We're going back to the school.

I thought I was coming to live with me.

Yeah, let me get everything sorted out.

Hey, did I just hear her say monkey's
cousin?

Yeah. Have you got it, Nan?

I always said you were lucky.

I'm sorry, you don't have an
appointment.

Make me one, then. Don't work like that.

She's been dead busy today. You're
looking on later on in the week, unless

urgent. Fine, darling, it's urgent.

We didn't say that before.

Look, I want to talk to the head of this
school about my son.

Is that really too complicated for you
to process?

I'm sorry, who's your son?

Aidan Scotcher.

He must be Mrs Fisher.

So, you're staying at Rob's house?

I'm staying at my house.

Oh, I see.

I was under the impression that you were
separated.

Rob tell you that, did he?

I only need to look at your face.

Look.

Naomi.

Naomi, I've got a school to run and I'm
up to here at the moment.

My husband's a very attractive man, Mrs
Fisher, so don't beat yourself up.

You've fallen for him.

I beg your pardon?

The thing is, Rob's always been a one
-woman man.

It's just I haven't been well lately.

I had a bit of a breakdown.

But I'm back now.

And I'd ask you to give me and my family
some space to sort things out.

Thanks.

So she's living with you?

Yeah.

It's not for long. It's just until she
gets herself sorted.

It's none of my business. Okay, Karen.

She walked out on us.

Me and Aidan.

I, um... I woke up one morning and she
said she didn't love me anymore.

Packed her bags.

Bang, that was it. She was gone.

She said she'd had some sort of
breakdown?

Well, that's her just trying to sell the
conscience, looking for sympathy.

There was another man.

You still... I mean... No.

I hated her for what she did.

But it's complicated.

You don't need to tell me.

I've been there.

Karen!

I've been looking for you.

Shauna Mansfield's run off with her nan.
I need you in the office.

What's all this?

Me mother's kidnapped our Shona.

It's hardly kidnapping.

Isn't it? Calm down, Mrs Mansfield.

I'm calling the police.

Please, don't waste the time.

Um, Mrs Mansfield.

Are you all right?

Get off me, Mum.

Where is she? It's my fault, OK?

I got in her car.

Oh, what, and she couldn't get you out?
Don't give me that. She brought me here,

didn't she?

Do you want to take the girls home, Mrs
Mansfield?

No. I'm going to carry on helping out
with the cafe. It's a great idea.

It's just a pity we're not going to be
using it.

Why is that?

Look, I'm not letting your nan rule our
lives anymore.

My fella's got a promotion.

We're going to be moving to Scotland.

Scotland? It's not as bad as it sounds.
Nah, no way. I'm not eating haggis. You

know, I think you need to spend some
time with each other.

Maybe the girls can come and help me in
the cafe, where I can keep an eye on

them. Definitely.

Don't pretend like you care.

Because when have you ever cared?

For me or Rona?

I hate you.

Don't be like this, Joan. I don't ever
want to see you again.

I'll get off.

Mr Mead, good afternoon.

Mr Whitman. Please call me Richard.

Welcome. You'll find Karen just through
there.

Thank you.

Richard. You sound surprised to see me.
Have I got my dates wrong?

Oh, not either. I was expecting you at
half past two.

This community cafe idea sounds just
fantastic.

Well, we're hoping.

But the opening ceremony isn't until
after school.

Well, I'd like to give myself plenty of
time to see the other good things you've

done. After all that bad press we had
last week.

Well, if you give me two minutes, I'll
join you.

Please, don't bother yourself.

I'm the one who's turned up early.

And I'm sure you've got nothing to hide.

My

dad's

working in the car.

We'll be gone for ages.

Thought you wanted to talk about your
mum.

Oh, she left and now she's back.

What's more to say?

She's your mum. There's more to it than
that.

I just don't think I could cope if she
walked again.

Oh, wow.

It's well cooling, eh?

Yeah, we're getting there.

Yeah, well, good, because we need to
impress Mr Bigwig, the director of

education. Yeah, thanks for reminding
me.

I'd just like to thank my record
company.

I felt like a proper celeb up there.

Oh, yeah, a definite star quality.

Yeah, if you don't X Factor for
secretaries.

The truth is, it's for the Mansfield
twins.

You know, Shona and Rona.

I'm hoping to get them to sing for old
Mr Bigwig.

Those two little witches.

Yeah, well, if it was up to me, they
would have been booted out a long time

No, I'm trying to make amends.

I screwed up, Janice.

I think Karen's about that far away from
sacking me.

So I'm going to give this my best shot.

Sure no.

What's the matter?

Everything.

Her for a start.

Me? Yeah, I heard what you said about
me.

Thirsty with your poison dwarf. I
apologise for that. Yeah, well, I think

should listen to that.

Janice. Well, she should have been
spying on us. I wasn't spying on you.

I was hiding.

Don't you shout at me. Calm down.
Janice, please.

Yeah, well, she should go and play with
some traffic or something. Yeah, well,

maybe I will.

They're trying to take me off my nan and
they can't do that.

I did all this for you so you could see.

Shona, don't do it. Don't do that,
Shona. Shona!

Shona!

Shona, stop it!

Come on, Danny!

Let go of it!

Here you are.

This'll do.

Come on, it's too long.

Do it now.

Do it yourself.

Right now.

Stop, you stupid calf.

You think I'd be funny to you?

I'll tell you what's funny.

Me, getting up every morning feeling
sick to the pit of my stomach because I

have to come in here and teach a leg to
you.

That's funny, isn't it?

I'd still do it. I'd still get up. I'd
still come in here and teach.

Because that's what I'm supposed to do
when you, you're supposed to learn.

Go on. You just don't get it. Go on.
What have I ever done to you? I don't

What have I done?

Daniel!

Once you've locked the padlock, put the
key down your knickers, anyone looking

there is going to be charged with sexual
assault.

Nan!

Oh, no!

So much for everything, teacher.

Oh, well, I'm here now, kid. Don't you
worry about it.

Is that him? This is school property.

How dare you upset my granddaughter?

I've got no right to do this. Get your
teething hands off my jeans!

Hey, there's another one telling me
about my rights.

Have I done enough?

Salt!

That's so fast.

And there's plenty more where that came
from.

You know that you've got your work cut
out for you here, mister.

Joe, are you a volunteer?

You could say that.

How are we supposed to have this opening
with everyone chasing the fence?

You know, Mrs. Fisher wanted to show it
off to some big -headed bureaucrat at

the council.

Richard. I was looking for you. I hope
you're finding your look -around

interesting. Eye -opening might be a
better way of putting it.

You'd better get over to your community
cafe. It's not quite going to plan,

according to Mr Chalk.

I'll carry on with my sightseeing. Have
a catch -up with some of your fellows.

Yeah, I think you'd better leave.

What do you think you're playing at?

It's a bit obvious.

Oh, come on, Dad, what's the big deal?

You were young once.

You know what the big deal is, pal.

What is it with you, Aidan?

One girlfriend, not enough.

I mean...

Never mind the fact that Ronan's your
mate.

What the hell do you think Karen will
say when she finds out that my son has

been cheating on her daughter?

And that's what it is, isn't it?

The fact that I could mess up your big
romance.

It's you I'm thinking about, Aidan. It's
you!

Don't you ever want a decent
relationship?

You can talk, Dad.

My mum is...

begging you to take her back, and you're
too busy with your new bird.

Get out of my sight.

And you'd better come clean with Jess.

Or I will.

What do we want?

Brandies for justice!

When do we want it? Now!

What do we want? Brandies for justice!
When do we want it? Now!

For sake, what the hell do you think
you're doing?

There's no way I'm giving up on them
girls.

Are you the twins now? Dead right,
mister.

And I'm here for justice.

Call the Rochdale Observer!

What are you doing? Have you completely
lost it? Get them up and get out of

here! No.

You've drove me to this, but you're
carrying on.

Whatever happens, you've got to get them
off school property.

She's a stubborn old servant, so you've
got no chance.

Just talk to her.

No, it's just what she wants.

She can sit there till doomsday for all
I care.

Well, it'll be doomsday for this school
if you don't.

Fishy.

I can have a word with you tonight.

What do we want? Rally to justice!

When do we want it? Now!

What do we want? Rally to justice! When
do we want it? Now!

I'm sorry, Harry.

Got angry with Siona and I pushed her
over the edge.

All I asked you to do was keep things on
schedule and you couldn't even do that.

You're not cut out to be a teacher.

Any later.

I don't know what stopped me yet.

Assaulting a child.

Do you not think I have enough going on
with that crowd out there?

Without a member of my own staff
behaving like an idiot?

Hello, Richard.

Hello, Eleanor.

You here on council business?

A little fact -finding trip.

There's a host of young Conservative
candidate of the year getting on a

road.

Hmm. An oasis of calm, I see, as usual.

Well, for all it's appreciated upstairs.

It's not like some of the others I've
witnessed today.

There are some teachers in this school
who haven't a clue.

One in particular, maths.

I mean, it's like feeding time at the
zoo.

Oh, well, I'm sure the management team
are on to it.

So you would help.

Perhaps we should have a little catch
-up later.

That'd be lovely.

Margaret, you wouldn't be so reasonable
if it was your granddaughter stolen off

you by your own daughter. That's
rubbish, nanny, you know it!

Are you taking it aside?

Why? Why, Rona, after all that I've done
for you, it's a right kick in the

teeth. She don't mean it, darling.

Oh, don't I? Where's my paracetamol? I
may as well swallow the whole lot now.

Please promise that you won't do
anything stupid, please.

This is blackmail, Bette.

Oh, keep your traps shut, will you?

I don't have to take this.

Fine. I don't need your help anyway.

Just give it a rest now, please.

Oh, it doesn't matter.

Yous all go home and have your tea with
your families.

Because I haven't got one.

Right.

I'm going to give you five minutes, then
I'm going to call the police.

Everyone else, back to your classes.
Thank you.

Shona. Come on, let's have you inside.

Shona, come on.

Come on, move.

Oh, no!

Mum, what's wrong?

She's not playing, Mum.

If anything happens to her, I swear it's
your fault.

I hope you're happy.

Yes,

hello. Ambulance, please.

Pigs. Adrian, I can't handle it. It's
okay, it's okay, it's okay.

Your dad's going to die.

Don't worry about it. I was just telling
him he was seeing things.

Look, it's going to get out.

Well, why don't we just tell him like we
agreed? No.

No, no, no, no, no. That was before
things got messy. We've got to cool

down, okay?

No.

Jess is going to find out from me.

Fine.

On you go.

Jess knows it was you who came on to me.

Yeah, well, that's rubbish.

It's the truth.

You've been all over me and everyone can
see it.

I thought you were...

Please say she's going to be all right.

Of course she is, mate. It's all right,
girls. Your nan will be fine.

She's going to give you some oxygen.

Oh, God, please say she's going to be
all right.

Mum?

Mum?

Is that my daughter?

Is Ronan and Sean over here? Yeah, Mum,
it's me. It's Sandy.

I can die a happy woman now.

There's nothing bloody wrong with her,
is there?

No.

You are such a fake.

How could you do that to us?

You see how she really is.

How can I let her anywhere near my
daughter when she's capable of her?

Can we have a calm conversation in my
office?

Come on, girls.

I don't want to see you again, Nan.

Not after this.

No, Shona!

No!

Oh, God forgive me. I'm sorry.

I made mistakes when I was bringing you
up. I should have been stricter.

And it was my fault you got pregnant at
such a young age and taken Shona and

Rona. It's me trying to forgive myself.

Mum, you don't have to apologise.

You're a wonderful mother.

I'm not.

What's wrong?

What's gotten you like this?

You don't want to know.

We're going to get married.

If you can't talk to me, who can you
talk to?

I'm not who you think I am.

All right, no, you're scaring me.

What's this?

I can't do it.

Me and you, Ronan, we're over.

What?

I'm sorry.

I really am.

It's not you, okay? It's me.

Wait.

It was the whole engagement thing,
wasn't it?

It was too much.

We'll just leave it out.

Go back to the way we were.

I'm sorry, Roland.

You're better off without me anyway. I'm
a total bitch.

What's up with her?

What's this?

My resignation.

I nearly hit that child today.

No teacher should put themselves in that
situation.

I can only apologise, Mrs Fisher.

The only thing in your favour is that
you didn't hit the child.

You held back.

It's not just what happened today.

It's every day.

I'm an easy target.

You've got to overcome your demons,
Daniel.

We can work on that.

Starting with Shona Manfield.

Now, you've got less than an hour to get
that cafe up and running before the

doors open.

Can you manage that?

It'll be tight, but... You wanted to see
me?

Just to emphasise that when I ask you to
look after a teaching assistant, you do

so with good grace, and you don't go out
of your way to make them feel small.

That's all.

Come on, eh?

Counting down?

I'd like to apologise for my behaviour
earlier.

I'm really sorry.

It's good news that your nan's going to
be OK.

So, are you and your sister going to
sing for me tonight, then?

Not really in the mood.

You're lucky, you know.

Have people fighting over you.

Some of us never have that.

It's not that I don't want to be with my
mum, you know.

It's just I miss my nan, that's all.

Look,

your mum loves you.

Even if it comes out wrong sometimes.

Hey, might say me and you tried to get
along a bit better, eh?

I'm sorry for everything, sir.

Yeah, come on.

Don't go there.

The maths teacher, Mr Chalk.

Yes, he's been responsible for making
the cafe a success.

Oh, I see you're a fan.

Most definitely, yes.

On the right here we have the science
room. Mr Mead has been wonderful at

getting so many girls interested in the
subject.

In fact, proportionately, I think we're
fourth highest in the Northwest for A

-level biology.

Helena, we meet again.

She was a rookie at the last school I
headed up. A real bright spark, this

Are you coming to the cafe opening?

Why don't you miss it for the world?

You've done a wonderful job.

Thank you.

That's the least I could do after
letting you down like I have.

It's good here, isn't it, me? Oh, it
certainly is.

Well, I think we should open the doors.

Cafe's now open.

Come in.

What do you think you're doing splitting
up with Ronan? That has got nothing to

do with you. We're over.

That's all they're shouting about.

You're going to find out anyway.

Vicky!

You've been seeing me behind your back.

I can explain.

You and her?

Baby. Get off me!

Jess, listen, please.

Get away from me.

Justin,

everything's all right.

Now make sure somebody hangers there.
Try and take over and you're out.

Got it.

Thanks everyone for coming and that.

Me and Sean are going to sing.

It's a song my mum and my nan used to
sing to us when we was little.

It helped us calm down after we was
fighting.

And it's good too.

Sometimes it isn't worth the effort,
especially when the head teacher's more

interested in our love life than our
school.

Forever and ever, we never shall pardon
how I love you. Together forever is how

we must be to live.

How come it's the coolest thing that's
ever happened to one of them? Yeah.

What do you think, Sam?

It's better.

I'm glad you approve.

Ronan!

Have you got any idea why your beloved
fiancé dumped you?

I do.

Well, do one of you two want to tell
him, or shall I?

What's going on?

I'll tell you what's going on.

That slapper.

My so -called best mate slept with my
boyfriend.

Jess, what are you doing?

I don't want to miss this for the world.

See what you've done?

I told you.

Happy now?

You knew about this?

Karen, I'm sorry, are you?

I told him to do the right thing and
come clean. Well, why would he do that

his father's so very good at keeping
secrets?

Karen, I'm sorry.

It's good.

From what I've seen today, there's
something very wrong with this school.

The book stops at Karen Fisher's office
door.

You'd think with the current economic
climate, she'd be a little more guarded.

What are you saying, Ethan? You want to
close the school down?

No, no, no, of course not.

We just need to find out what's going
wrong and why.

From someone with inside knowledge.

Are you asking me to spy?

Well, we're hardly talking MI5.

All the LA want is to build a better
school for the kids.

And to staff that school with teachers
of your caliber.

I'm flattered. Not so you should be.

But I'm a big fan, as you know.

So, are you in?

If only for the sake of a better
education for the children.

This is why we're first.

I know.

Sam?

You ready?

Can't you just tell me you'll be home in
a bit? I'm tired, Finn.

I need to go to bed.

I'll see you tomorrow, though, yeah?

Definitely.

Hey, son.

Why

didn't

you just knock on my door?

I'm always there for you.

Without announcing it to the whole
school.

I'm sorry, Mum.

I know what Vicky did was horrible.

I've got it.

My best friend, how can she do that to
me?

Well, after what your dad did to us,
nothing would surprise me anymore.

lesson to learn, love.

I'll make you a stronger person.

Believe me.

Yeah, well.

Ricky once said I was quite a chicken of
him.

Good riddance to both of them.

Him and his dad.

You, take it with me now.

Do not say a word.

He's young.

He's gonna make mistakes.

Don't we all?

Okay. You're probably exempt.

He only thinks of himself.

He hurts people.

I don't want him to be like that.

Like me.

I've missed you.

You broke my heart.

And you're not going to ruin my life
again, though.

I know that's not what you want.

Please, Rob.

Don't chuck me out on the street.

Let's try.

For Aidan's sake.

At least.

There's no doubt in it. A boy needs his
mother.

And you need your wife back.

You can stay.

Till he's sorted.

Look on, open up on the line.

I've got a PR lady coming in today,
helping to raise the profile of the

PR woman? I want to enhance your image,
not tell the back of your life.

I've seen him reading up about the
school to know it's a hard sell, but I

turn it around.

Trust me.

Tom, I'm not playing games here.

She wants to find her dad.

Say goodbye.

You come call the police. I am staying
here till my dad gets back.

And you'll have a long wait, Pet. My
son's in Nick and he's doing live.

Karen, is what I've done really so bad?

Or are you just angry with every man in
the world because of Charlie?

I was right, you know.

We did used to be good together till I
messed things up.

I can't imagine you not being here.

I'll never forget you, son.

Never in all my life.

Jim's ex -wife is on the scene and
Maddie is paranoid.

Life of Riley in a moment.

And then it's the apprentice and they're
making pet food tonight and probably a

right dog's dinner at nine.
