All language subtitles for Waterloo Road s07e08

The local authority are having a meeting
today at three to discuss our data.

Whether we're failing as a school or
whether I'm failing as a head. You get

another girl pregnant, you're on your
own, son.

This is Scout.

She's new today and she's in your class.

I'm pregnant.

My daddy's going to kill me.

My period's late. You're so stupid.

It wasn't enough nicking your
girlfriend, was it? You had to get her

well.

It gives me no joy to serve a warning
notice.

on this school

Have a look. Google.

They're paying you, are they?

Jeff, are you all right? I've got an
early meeting.

Hi.

Apparently it's worse than the
beginning.

OK.

If you're sure.

I've decided I'm going to keep it.

Great. Uncle Harry, how old does that
sound?

You're absolutely certain that's what
you want?

Well, you said it's my decision.

And I'll back you.

Can we just keep it to ourselves for
now?

The last thing we need is for the whole
school to find out.

Did you hear that, Harry?

Yeah.

Speak later.

I'm sorry for dragging you in so early,
but I wouldn't do it without good

reason. The LA have served us with a
warning notice.

What, they're shutting us down?

No,

it's only a warning.

No final decision has been made. That's
reassuring.

On what grounds?

They're blaming a breakdown in
management.

My management.

But we have got the full support of the
governors.

And we'll be appealing the notice.

Well, I'm glad to hear it.

The bottom line is, we have to be whiter
than white.

Can we put this behind us today, as it's
the sixth form elections?

Try and enjoy it.

Pointless charade, if ever there was
one.

We'll be announcing the results after
school.

Thanks, everyone.

Richard, everyone's pretty rattled.
She's just told them about it, but...

I thought you should know. She's saying
she's got the support of the government.

No, look, it's a weekend viewing or
nothing.

I'm very busy at work.

Estate agents.

Just kill them.

Right, time to prove what a load of crap
this warning notice is.

Why bother? It'll be P45s by Friday. It
will not if we offer Karen our full

support, starting by getting behind the
kids and ailing our colours to the mast.

You sure you want to take me on? I was a
member of the Tory party at 15.

Accounts for nothing round here. Wait,
Labour heartland.

Lib Dem?

I wouldn't get into bed, would you, Mum?

I wouldn't mind getting into bed with
you.

Metaphorically speaking, you know, I...
Vote Conservative, guys!

Make sure you vote for Jess,
Conservative.

Vote Conservative.

Mingan. What, did you expect us to have
a party anyway?

What are you like?

Serious. These are dangerous weapons.

Massage you into submission, ain't they?

Oh, not to take your fun, lad.

Don't get so festive.

How's it going?

Yeah, great.

Well, the longer you leave it, the
harder it's going to be.

You hate me?

Yeah.

Wait, come on. Come on.

We agreed.

You're going to step up and take some
responsibility.

You're a Scotcher.

You do the right thing. Good.

What's the service there? The future's
bright, the future's blue.

Didn't know you supported City.

Oh, Jess, can we just talk about this?

Do you want to talk about the fact that
you cheated on me or the fact that we're

both pregnant?

I'm trying to do the right thing, give
you some support.

Yeah, well, you haven't told anyone,
have you?

Hardly. Good, because it's no -one's
business.

This is my baby too. I've got rights.

You had your chance, Aidan, and you were
AWOL.

Come

in.

What is it?

OK.

I've had a long chat with Aidan.

And he'll speak with the girl today.

Well, let's not.

No, he'll do the right thing, Karen.

I'll make sure of it.

Good.

Was there anything else?

No.

I'll leave you to it.

Add ten drops of ethanol to the sodium
dichromate and shake.

Scout, you're late again.

I haven't got a pen, sir.

Here.

Sit down.

Right. And finally, we gently heat the
test tube over the Bunsen burner.

Oh, that stinks.

Lily's bad as Scout.

Pencil.

Take a proper sniff. Hopefully it's
poisonous.

That's enough, you two. Right, everyone,
back to your seats.

Homework. I want you to write up the
results of this experiment on these

worksheets.

Bring it in next lesson, please.

Is there any danger of you ever turning
up on time?

I keep getting lost, sir.

I'm not used to it, are you? Well, this
place isn't a drop -in centre.

Uh -uh.

Kids before pigs. OMG, you just touched
it!

Antiseptic quick!

Welcome to the first of today's
hustings.

Miss Chowdhury.

Each candidate will make a brief opening
statement.

First up, Jess Fisher Conservatives.

The Conservative Party stands for
diversity.

So, if you vote for me, you will get a
full social calendar.

Film nights to salsa classes, from bingo
to all sorts. This place will

be buzzing.

Vicki MacDonald, the Labour Party.

Bingo. Doesn't that prove just how out
of touch the Conservatives are?

We want to know what you think.

We're going to set up an entertainment
committee to get this party started.

Woo!

What about a mother and toddler group?

Bit of an exclusive club. Oh, for God's
sake, stop going on like it's something

to be proud of.

Just let it go.

I don't think you're going to get the
sympathy vote on getting pregnant with

that idiot.

You can't talk, you hypocrite.

Shut it, Aidan!

What? You're going to deny it?

She's up the duff as well.

You couldn't keep your big mouth shut,
would you?

And any of their murder protection?

No, they don't make condoms small enough
for him.

Let's just simmer down, shall we? Get
back to the election, please.

All right, sir, please.

Settle down. Yeah, let's hear from the
other two, cos I'm not going to waste my

vote on these two slappers.

You, into the cooler, now.

I had no idea.

Oh, I'm sorry, did I not run it by you
first?

I think they did.

Yes, it's Aidan's. I don't sleep about
it. Will you all shut up?

Peter Gillan.

Green party.

Stand up straight at the foot of your
love.

Lift my shirt up.

Stand up straight at the foot of your
love.

Lift my shirt up.

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

Get yourself dressed.

See me in the pastoral care office.

What are you doing stealing food?

Don't they feed you at home?

Big appetite.

I don't think so.

Your skin and bones.

Metabolism, isn't it?

You know that. Been a fine feature.

But washing in the canteen.

It's none of your business. It is when
you're meant to be in class.

Look.

You can stop the teasing by just making
sure you have a wash before you come to

school.

Mum's lagging in the bathroom.

She's a model.

Needs to look good.

I don't have to call her in, Scout.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

It won't happen again.

Happy? No.

No, I'm not.

Something's going on. What is it?

Nothing's going on.

I promise.

Okay.

Off you go.

Scout, if you change your mind, you know
where I am.

I'm not tolerating that kind of
behaviour.

You can take a couple of days to cool
off. What about Jess and Vicky?

Take two to make a baby in case you
forgot. Enough!

Apologise.

You're disrupting the whole school, you
know that?

You can stop your school.

I really thought I got through to him.
Obviously not.

I'll try again.

The suspension still stands.

Can't you give him another chance?

I'm going to do what's right for the
school.

Oi.

Oi.

What is it with you, Egan?

Huh?

You promised me you're going to grow up.
You end up behaving like a petulant

child.

Listen to me. Get off me!

You know, as soon as things look all
right, you're screwed up for us.

What is it you expect from me?

I am what I am.

I'm a screw -up.

I'd change that.

Yeah, come in.

I hear you've got some concerns about
Geordie Allen.

At least the grapevine's in fine working
order.

Yeah, I've got her file here.

It's a rainforest worth of truancy
reports and letters home. Well, she's

definitely here today.

In body, at least.

I'll take it from here.

Come on, Goldilocks.

I'm not giving up this time, Scout.

So you may as well stop all the games
and tell me exactly what's going on.

I was up early on my paper round.

Loads of kids off paper rounds.

You don't see them fall in a sleeping
class.

You ever been to one of Mr Chalk's
lessons?

The last thing that this school needs at
the moment is a reputation for letting

kids sleep the day away.

That should be off.

I take it that's yours?

Not. You've got it wrong.

Give him back so I need him.

Come on. You're coming with me. It's my
mum. She's ill.

She's got MS.

Please, Mr Mead.

She's really suffering.

The drugs the doctors give her, they're
rubbish.

Let me have it back.

Please.

You know that I can't do that.

Look, I'm sorry about your mum. You're
not sorry.

You're psych all the rest.

Scout!

Scout!

Scout! Scout!

Aye, aye.

Is it mad?

Or is it a machine?

No. It's bad!

I'm not a kid anymore. I can look after
myself.

You can't leave.

Watch me!

Have you forgotten something?

I'm pregnant.

And so is Jess. We need to talk.

You'll be fine.

And how do you work that one out?

I've got no one else.

It's too late.

I'm out of here.

Mrs. Allen?

Hi, it's Chris Meade from Waterloo Road.

That woman.

I knew I wasn't the only one that they
hung up on.

Oh,

that's fair trade.

I'm teacher's wages. I knew you couldn't
do it.

And what's that?

Green is too much of a modern concept.
You're still beam engines and coal

A dinosaur.

I can do green.

Tennis as you can.

I'll have some of that.

You're on.

Daniel. Easiest money I'll make all
week.

Tom. You've got a sec.

I've just found this on Jodie Allen.

Well, that explains a lot. She's saying
her mum's got MS.

You don't believe that?

Can you file it for me while I get it
checked out? Yeah, of course.

Well, the L .A. can't accuse us of not
caring.

What do you think?

Fitting for a returning officer?

Very Maggie.

Who's that?

Hey, my mum went right on one when I
told her that I was up the spout.

I thought that it was going to make her
feel a bit older, but it's given her a

right lease of life.

Oh.

That's reassuring to know.

Although she did take up knitting.

Could you get Chris Mead to counter
-sign that and then fax the whole thing

through to the governors?

I hope you don't mind me asking.

But this warning notice, am I going to
be out of a job?

I don't think it'll come to that.

Well, when will I know? I mean, I have
got Cheryl to look after.

I think I'll be all right.

Hey, just to let you know if there's
anything I can do to help with the

I'm on it.

Well, I'm here if you need me. If
there's anything at all that I can do,

let me know.

Joan, I've lost that bag of weed.

I can't find it anywhere.

I'm sorry.

I had to do it on the hub.

Thanks.

I was waiting for Scout to put some more
money on Leckie.

I thought I'd find her here.

I haven't seen her since this morning.

She told me about your illness.

It must be hard for all of you.

I caught her with drugs.

She said it was for your MS.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, that's right.

I know when I've been played.

They're not hers.

It's just what's left of them for
people.

Cops don't turn over 15 -year -old
girls.

And you're okay with that?

Benefits don't go very far.

Until that number's come up, it's one
way of bringing extra cash in.

One way?

It's got a paper round as well.

You can't rely on Scout to provide for
your family. What does your social

say?

Don't tell them.

They'll take her away.

She's a child.

She shouldn't have this much
responsibility.

She turns up for school, doesn't she?

I don't know what she was used to at her
last school, but we take the welfare of

our pupils very seriously.

She's all right. Just leave her alone.

It's not fair on Scout.

Please.

It's all I've got.

No, I understand.

Thank you, fine.

Problems?

Social services can't help out with
Scout.

They say she's not a high risk.

Things didn't go too well with the
mother then.

She's a complete waste of time.

She relies on Scout to do everything.

And the authorities have got their hands
tied, so another kid are lost in the

system.

Surely they're entitled to some help if
the woman's ill.

She was lying about the MS.

She's running drugs to pay the bills.

Tom, can we lose them?

Why, are you not serious?

There's a kid's future that we're
talking about.

Look, there's a line you don't cross,
especially when you've got this warning

notice hanging over us. If this girl
drops out of here in a couple of years,

she'll be just like her mum.

A kid in tow and all the spark on, I
don't want that to happen.

Please.

You get a soldier by the end of the day,
I'll take a name off the form, but

you've still got a one for drugs in.

Cheers, mate.

You've got my vote.

Antique drone show?

What happened?

Daddy take off your stabilisers?

What's all the mess in you loon?

Hey, you alright?

What do you care?

I was jealous.

Why are you the minger?

Because it'll be me that is running
those fingers on.

Whee! 2 -0 Scotcher. Back of the net.
Shut up. Hey, at least this yesterday

won't be on your case.

Oh, mate, they're going to bank up Dave
and big time. Cheaper being a Jaffa.

Leave him alone.

What, like you did?

Ronan, wait.

You know Aidan's left.

He didn't take you with him.

Ladies, mind if I join you?

We were just leaving.

I wasn't.

I need that grass back.

Your mum hasn't got MS.

I went round to your flat.

I think you know everything about us
now, then, do you?

I know that she shouldn't be relying on
you like she does.

I'm in trouble because of you.

They want the store.

Don't you get it? Yes, I get it.

Which is why there's no way I'm going to
give it you back.

Your mum might not have a problem with
what you're doing, but I do.

It's illegal.

So?

So, if you get caught, it's a one -way
ticket into care.

Or prison.

What are you going to do?

Graph me up?

That's what it takes, yes.

Now get inside.

Hey, it's not the end of the world, you
know.

I mean, look at me.

Single mum, great job.

I couldn't be happier.

The actual birth bit is pretty painful
and gross, but you end up doing plenty.

You're waiting for me, Vicky?

It's okay, isn't it?

I want to leave.

Why?

Aidan's going.

Is he taking you with him?

Hardly.

I'm as much to blame for this mess.

And everyone here hates me. I don't
think so.

They do.

And seeing them every day reminds me of
how I've been.

I mean, where did I go wrong with the
lad?

It's like he's got a self -destruct
button.

It's not your fault.

You've got to stop making excuses for
him.

He did the crime.

I'll tell you one thing.

He's not leaving.

Well, why not?

That's what he wants to do.

Because he has to learn you can't keep
running away.

He's got everything for him here.

Don't you think it's time you stopped
telling him what to do?

He's old enough to make his own
decisions.

It shouldn't be your responsibility to
provide for your family. Shouldn't,

couldn't, whatever.

It's all right for you.

With your nice job, nice house, nice
car.

We need that money.

I'll lend you some.

How much?

I'm not a charity case.

All right.

All right, then work for it.

I'll pay you to help out at the election
party tonight.

You won't earn as much, but it's a
start.

You just stay clear of the drugs.

I'm not working for you.

My family look after each other.

You're looking after your mum and your
brother.

Nobody's actually taking care of you.

I can take care of myself.

Have you any idea how much trouble
you're in?

You need to think about this.

How are you doing?

So much for the whole school not finding
out.

I could kill Aidan.

He's going.

Ed.

Vicky wants to go as well.

Well, I'm sure they'll make a nice
couple.

Bonnie and Clyde.

She's not leaving with him.

She doesn't feel that she's welcome here
anymore.

It's perceptive. You don't mean that.

Don't I?

She could really use a friend right now.

Why is everybody so concerned about her?

She slept with my boyfriend behind my
back.

She doesn't have anyone, Jess.

Don't you think she's had enough
punishment?

Well, at least she hasn't got people
judging her.

Don't pretend you want me to keep this
baby.

I just don't want you to do anything
you'll regret.

The only thing I regret is telling you
anything about it.

Atticus warned that it's a sin to kill a
mockingbird.

Why?

Why, Jodie Allen?

Miss Allen?

Because they do nothing but sing the
hearts out.

Meaning?

We shouldn't arm laws who don't arm us.

Right, well, I want two sides from all
of you on the role of Boo Radley in the

novel.

Who's Boo Radley?

Turn it off.

What is going on?

Couldn't lend the tenner, sir.

Cooler, now!

Read that out for me.

Let's go.

Did you want me?

That job's still available.

How much do you owe him?

25.

All right.

But there's one condition.

No more couriering, and you never go
near drugs ever again.

That's two conditions.

I'm serious, Scout.

I'm not helping you if I can't trust
you.

You can.

Promise.

Good.

And I meant what I said.

You're earning this.

Thanks, Dad.

You won't survive without what Ollie
wrote.

You need this place. I'm not the one
tied down to a family.

Well, you won't feel so free when that
one comes along.

Well, at least I won't have people
interfering and telling me what to do

own kid.

It's because you won't know anybody.

There won't be much chance of a night
out with your mates.

Listen to us.

Like a couple of bitching politicians.

I am really sorry, you know, Jess.

I just wish this never happened.

Yeah, well, it wasn't exactly on my life
plan, being up the duff without a

paddle before I leave school.

You know, I always said if I had a kid,
I'd give it everything I never had.

Not instability, a proper family.

Well, there's not much chance of that
now, is there?

You know, I could really use someone to
talk to.

Someone that understands just how
terrifying all this really is.

You all right?

I can't do this anymore.

It's about a bike.

Look, if you're really bad about that,
then you just keep the money to pay for

it.

I mean it, Darren.

If I get caught... You're too good to
get caught.

It doesn't matter what they tell you in
there.

You're never going to earn this sort of
money anywhere else.

You don't want to let me down, do you,
Skate?

Pick up some gear from there and keep it
safe till tomorrow.

we should have the right to express
ourselves.

Well, the fact is, if you've got it,
then you'll look good in anything. I

have a problem with uniform.

Normal uniform is elitist and
unnecessary, much like the Honourable

Oh! And what is the Honourable Gentleman
going to do when pupils get victimised

because they can't afford the latest
fashion?

You can get three decent outfits for the
cost of a blazer. Yeah, thanks to

sweatshops in the Far East.

I thought you were the party that
campaigned for workers' rights. Is new

condoning slave Labour?

No, of course not. Of course not. Sorry,
out of time.

Jess, the Conservatives will introduce a
new pupil teacher committee where we

can all work together on these issues.

Whoa, whoa, and what good is that going
to do? They can't even agree on anything

as it is.

OK, voting is now opening.

Thought I'd been stung for a minute
there.

Sorry, had to put some lecky on Keith,
Mum.

Did you have any trouble paying that
debt?

He wasn't happy at losing his employee
of the month, but he didn't get nasty or

nothing. Good.

Can you start?

It's lost property, but it'll do.

Got to look your best, haven't you?

Mm -hmm.

Now, shoes.

Ew. What are you doing?

Best to be on the safe side.

There's a wash bag here.

Changing rooms are open.

Why are you being so nice to me?

Most people are.

When you give them half a chance.

I won't be making a habit of it, you
know.

That'll do.

Come to witness the historic
Conservative victory?

There's no time for frivolities, I'm
afraid.

Karen's causing a few more waves than
expected, so keep the lines of

communication open.

How about... drugs?

Oh, go on. I'm interested.

Chris Mead found some on a year's anger
this morning.

Have the police been informed?

Not that I know of. Why don't you think
they should?

Well... Would you mind doing the
honours? Can't keep Her Majesty waiting.

But... At least, isn't that going a bit
far?

Well, now we have the information, we
have to act on it.

I thought we were going after Karen
Fisher.

Eleanor, you can't back out now.

I told him he couldn't come straight in.

It's all right, Janice.

I'll take it from here.

Richard, how can I help you?

I've just had an interesting call from
your chair of governors.

What have you been saying?

He has a right to know the truth.

And I have his backing. If you really
think they're going to believe your

you're more deluded than I thought.

We both know this isn't about Waterloo
Road.

This is about a problem you have with
me.

That's just semantics. You need to face
facts, Karen.

You're a failure.

This school is a failure.

And it will be closed.

I have two weeks to appeal this notice.

And I will. Don't embarrass yourself.

You will appeal this notice and the
gloves are well and truly off.

If you want to fight, Richard, I'm
ready.

Resign.

Resign today.

I'm giving you a way out.

This school needs me to protect it from
you.

Now get out.

I'm busy.

Oi! Been looking for you.

Wow. You look like a... What?

A girl.

Don't. You look alright.

Come on.

What? Come on.

Wait for it.

What's Dory Mr Mead anyway? He seems
alright.

Better than someone, I suppose.

He's still a teacher.

Ready?

Oh, my God.

It's... Mint?

Yeah.

How did you do it?

Mr. Scotch helped me.

You've got your own thing going on.

You're off your head.

I get first crack.

Look, I think I can...

Do you know what, Aidan?

You're right.

I should be treating you like an adult.

Hallelujah. So if you want to leave,
leave.

You're okay with that? It's your
decision.

Where would we go?

We wouldn't go anywhere.

I'm staying.

Let me know.

Wait.

I was just saying, saying that about
leaving.

Because I was mad at myself for messing
up.

Like father, like son?

Hardly.

You were a mistake, you know.

Well, me and your mum, we weren't that
steady and... Never saw past the

me.

But... As soon as I found out she was
pregnant, the first thing I did was talk

to her.

Why didn't you tell me before?

I can't see it makes any difference.

But I promised her I'd always be there.

And I've been true to my word.

Hey, look, I can't criticise you for
what's happened.

If I hadn't have done the same, I
wouldn't have... the most precious thing

life.

I don't want to go, Dad.

Good.

Now, Jess and Vicky are good girls.

Then you're going to have to step up.

I thought you weren't going to tell me
what to do anymore.

Old habits die hard.

Besides, I've got my whole life to be
getting on with.

Oh, yeah.

Time to move on.

Good afternoon, everybody.

And a very big thank you to everyone
who's been involved in today's

Now... The votes are in. So, without
further ado, I'm going to pass you over

Waterloo Road's returning officer.

Returning officer?

Say, isn't that?

Because I did used to be a pupil at the
school and now I'm back as a sort of

teacher.

Get on with it.

So, the number of votes that have been
cast in the constituent set of Waterloo

Roads are as follows.

Liberal Democrat, 97.

Green Party, 113.

Conservative,

138.

Labour is... 138. It's a draw.

I demand a recount.

Is there no end to the measure?

Well, there is an alternative.

A coalition?

Have you seen George Allen?

Try the cooler.

Hello? Go on.

We're going to be out of pocket.

Fisher?

Please.

Sharon Fisher?

Oi! You're meant to be working.

Come on.

I've got to go.

I'll keep your seat warm.

Orange juice for the mums?

Are you ready to work those magic
fingers?

I feel a tension already.

Yeah, if you want.

Look, next time you want to make someone
jealous, don't use me.

Police have just received a tip -off
that there are drugs in the school.

They want to serve to prevent this.

OK. OK?

Are those drugs still locked in the
staff room?

Yeah. We might have some explaining to
do.

OK, if I can have your attention,
everybody, please. The police are here

routine inspection.

So we can have your full cooperation.

Thank you very much.

You did find them, didn't you?

Chris.

You've got someone on you, haven't you?

He was threatening me. He told me I'd
talk after him.

Chris?

Chris Meade, our deputy head.

I'll show you round.

The dog has indicators.

So, can you empty your pocket, please,
sir?

You must be from the tape with one of
our teachers.

Sir? Sorry, did you hear what I said?
This is my deputy head. Sir?

Helen, have you done?

Nothing. It's not mine.

It's Jodie Allen's.

Why didn't you tell me there were people
using drugs? She's not using. She's

couriering them for money.

Unbelievable. Have you told them?

No. And I'm not going to. As far as
they're concerned, I found them.

Sir?

Can we sort this out in my office?

It has to be at the station. It's on the
course.

I'll explain later.

Show's over.

Everything okay?

Yeah, it's great. My deputy's just been
arrested for drugs. Couldn't be better.

Somebody must have tipped off the
police.

Do you think?

Yeah, I mean, they say it's routine. It
never is.

Poor Chris.

That's the last thing the school needed
today.

At least the election was a success.

Yeah, well, that won't mean a thing if
we get shut down.

Do you really think it'll come to that?

Yeah, well, who knows?

Warning notice.

Serious stuff.

I know you haven't been here long,
but... I cannot tell you what this place

means to me.

Pupils. Everyone.

I'm just worried, that's all.

Come on, let's get to the pub. I'll buy
you a drink, you bloody quarry.

Leave that.

Matt will still be here tomorrow.

You can say that again.

Seriously? I'll do it. You get yourself
home.

Well, I can't. I've given Jess and Vicky
some space to talk things through.

Yeah.

There's a lot for us to think about.

Aidan's going to stay.

That's okay with you.

Some of you know what's expected of him.

He does.

He really does.

Good.

Thanks, Karen.

A few months' time, we could be
grandparents.

I may as well just swap knitting
patterns with Janice's mother now.

I just don't want things to be difficult
between us. Oh, me neither.

We're going to be part of each other's
lives, whether we like it or not.

I'd be happy with that.

Share the pain?

I am sorry that it got out of control
with Naomi.

Mostly forgotten.

I hope so.

So, are you going to stick around?

I reckon.

What about you?

You gonna keep it?

Yeah.

I don't care what people think.

You still like him, don't you?

Yeah, you do.

After what he did... I always imagined
I'd be sharing all this with Ronan.

Well, there's nothing stopping you.

You're right.

I was dealing with the situation.

By harbouring drugs for a pupil? She
needed my help.

I can't believe you're trying to justify
this. Scout was in serious trouble.

She owed someone money. Not our problem.

Chris, you were the deputy head. Yes, I
know that. But I am also the one person

that that girl felt that she could turn
to. Stop shouting.

And perhaps you're the one who can tell
her that she's expelled.

No, no, no. You can't expel her. Yes, I
can.

It's not her fault.

The only reason that she's mixed up in
all this is to put food on the table.

I feel sympathy for her.

But I can't condone this.

Have you forgotten what this school
stands for, Karen?

I mean, forget warning notices and
management breakdowns.

Our priority has always been our pupils.

Pupils like Jodie Allen.

I'll suspend her for a week.

Thank you.

And I'm suspending you as well.

They didn't charge me.

You were lucky.

This is for the good of the school,
Chris.

Thanks for your loyalty, Karen.

Bear of the dog, I think.

Mr. Meek, they'll spend it.

What?

I'm sure this lot will fill you in on
all the gory details.

None of my business. No, I was just
going to ask you what you're having.

I think you will find I've minimised my
carbon footprint and I have done a full

ecological survey of the school. I will
present my recommendations to our

esteemed leader on the morrow. It's a
tennery, do you think?

Oh, well, it looks like it's your round,
Mr Budgin, and I'll have... Sex on the

beach, please.

You're a good man, Grantley Budgin.

Chris.

No, no. You're all right. I'm going to
get going. I'm not in the mood.

Oh, come on, mate. You'll be back before
you know it. I shouldn't have even got

to this in the first place.

I just wanted it a crime to help one of
our own kids.

Well, you did more than help her out.

To be fair, you did jump in with both
feet, mate.

Sometimes that's the only way.

Look, I hear what you're saying.

I've done it myself in the past, but...
At the end of the day, we're only

teachers. There's only so much we can
do.

Stay soon.

Oh my God, that's good.

What? I don't get out much anymore.

Haven't you done enough already today?

This is vicious suspendedness.

You know the best advice my dad ever
gave me?

Hmm.

Never trust a toy.

My mother always said, socialism is a
road to serfdom.

Yeah, but my dad knew what he was
talking about.

You do know where you are, don't you?

Not on your planet.

No, Roxdale.

Home of the cooperative movement.

1844, the Roxdale Principles, and my dad
lived by those principles.

I wouldn't expect you to understand.

Don't give me that working class chip on
your shoulder.

I'm from Fallinge.

I'm from the same side of the road.

What were you thinking?

Three hours I was in that police
station. I have never been so

You didn't have to.

Could have told him the drugs were mine.

And what would that have achieved?

You'd be in a load more trouble than for
what.

I'm sorry, Scout. It's been a long day.

I did try and tell Darren I wouldn't
work for him anymore.

But...

It's not that easy.

It got some lads to threaten me.

The ones who smashed my bike up.

And I didn't know what else they'd do if
I stopped delivering stuff.

Hey, yeah.

Come on.

I want to help you, but I can only do
that if you're honest with me.

Mrs Fisher wanted to expel you, but I
talked her out of it.

And I only did that because I think
you're worth something.

So from now on, I need to know. If
something goes wrong, you tell someone.

don't try and deal with it yourself.

I promise.

Thank you.

And I'm sorry you got suspended. I'll
talk to Miss Fisher if you want and

explain. Don't you worry about me.

I could do with some time to think.

Thank you.

It's OK.

Your sound, you know.

Best seat driver I've ever had.

From now on, it's just school and paper
around.

Which one do you read?

I'll make a detailer.

Do you really think I'd give you my
address?

No. Good point.

Beer!

Or beer.

I don't want a drink.

Now, are you sure you've got enough to
get by for a few days?

Good.

I'll see you next week.

Thanks, sir.

Hey.

Stay out of trouble.

Scout Connor.

It's only a matter of time before Karen
finds out that I've been helping you.

She won't, unless you say something.

Maybe I will.

You need to go and see a doctor. This
isn't right.

Baby.

That's my baby.

You're telling me that your mum has left
your three -year -old brother in the

flat on his own? He must have got out.
Sir, we've got to find him. There's only

three.

Liam!

Liam!

Stay there!

Stay there! Don't move! Don't move!
You're a bully, Eleanor.

Why don't you do us all a favour and
shut up back to school?

I know I need to change. I want to
change.

I had one of your staff approach me.

A grievance about the way you've been
running this place.

This member of staff wouldn't happen to
be Eleanor Chowdhury, would it?

One family with a whole heap of
problems. New comedy in with the Flins

right up. And then at nine we're doing
business abroad when the apprentice goes

to France.

Ah, may we?
