All language subtitles for Waterloo Road s08e01

Any first day now?

No, why should there be? Back on my old
stomping ground.

Fantastic.

Have you contacted your dad yet?

No, not yet. I've been a bit busy.

You should take a look at these.

It's a bit of a mixed bag, I'm afraid.
Mr Finlay, the head of Havelock High

School, is accusing us of stealing his
pupils.

And he has been out briefing the press a
big time. But there's some good ones

too.

Waterloo Road proves a hit with parents,
see?

That's better.

I wanted it spotless, yeah?

Hey.

Morning, guys.

This whole place is scrubbed up well.
Yeah, it's not bad.

Yeah, I suppose it'll have to do.

But we have good teachers.

Largely.

If there's one reason to make this place
work, it's Denzel Kelly.

Well, we meant to get the results of the
inquest by now.

Yeah, they came in yesterday.

Just as we thought. The driver of that
lorry was twice over the limit.

Um, I think I'm going to go over to the
schoolhouse and let Tarek know.

The hell are you doing in there?

I found it alright.

I didn't know how to tell you.

Tell me what?

I want to go Waterloo Road, Ruth.

It's a school.

The headmaster sounds brilliant, wanting
everyone to come, no matter how poor

you are.

Do a good job.

to get qualifications.

But you can't.

Not yet. You know they'll still be
looking for us. They'll never find us. I

the false name and address.

What are you saying?

Are you running the road?

I went to the local library.

They had all the forms there.

Why are you doing this?

I thought I was enough for you. We can't
go on the run forever, Drew.

Just give it a few more weeks, yeah?

Make sure all this is died down.

I can't.

Today's the first day of term. How can a
stupid school be more important than

us? Yeah, I'm thinking about us.

I want to get a job someday.

We need to live somewhere decent.

OK.

If you're going to school, me and all.

She's joking me.

She can't. I mean, someone might have...
It's a risk I'll have to take.

I'm not asking you to come with me.

Anyone would think you don't want me
there.

Is that it?

Don't be stupid.

Of course I do.

Well, go settle then.

I'm coming with you.

OK.

If you want to come to school, you
should not show me up. Come on.

Sit there.

Can't you bring me breakfast at bed?

We've got kids out there to look after.

House daddy.

Do not call me that.

I'm winding you up, man.

You make it so easy for me.

Why did I sign up for this?

Because we need that extra money.

Get yourself in the shower. Come on.

I can't believe that I am sharing a
house with a bunch of feral teenagers

Waterloo Road.

Good morning,

Paris. Did you take your paper?

I can manage.

I'm full.

What, you're in charge of breakfast,
Rhiannon? Yum, yum.

You've done that on purpose. You know I
can. There's plenty of fruit.

You should have the fruit.

What is it we're used to, eh? We've only
been in this house a couple of days and

you have been at each other's throats
the whole time. She's just jealous

I've got a bigger room than her.

We picked those rooms fair and square,
Rhiannon, out of hand.

So, you'd better live with it. Or hand
in your key, I'll give you the bus fare

back to Rochdale. I'm not going back to
that foster mum, no way.

I don't like it here.

Well, you're going to have to try out
your house.

I'm just going to go home.

Hope Springs.

You know Dad doesn't want us home.

We're here whether we like it or not.

And hope draineth away.

Phoenix, will you go and look after your
brother?

It's just a touch of home, Bickner.

Join the club.

There you go.

Chow. Can I get you a cold breakfast,
love?

Morning, everyone. Good morning.

I thought I'd pop over, see if I could
be of any use.

Don't give another bar.

Morning. It's an open day, morning.
Jeez, a day around is enough.

It's hot in that uniform, eh?

So

we

got the results of the inquiry.

Who was responsible for the crash?

What do I care? It won't change anything
for me. I'm a crip.

That is the last time you use that word
in my hearing, do you understand?

You can do anything that anyone else can
do.

Yeah, you want to try taking a splash
with no legs?

You know there's a canoeing club near
here?

So? So you should think about joining
up.

It'll keep you fit and it'll give you a
sense of freedom and control.

You need legs to get in a boat.

Well, we could find a couple of guys to
lift you in.

uniform? Saying I nicked your uniform?

Well, somebody has. That's the new one
on me, nicking a school uniform.

Fern's going to go ape. All I've got is
these jeans and this hoodie.

Not my fault. For God's sake!

I bet she's flogged it down the local
market.

She's nicking anything and selling it
for skunk.

I've seen her.

You're not serious, are you? Don't tell
her I told you.

She'd kill me.

What are we going to do?

Be as of the wise monkeys.

See no evil, hear no evil. Otherwise
this job is going to be 24 -7.

It's supposed to be 24 -7. That is what
they're paying us for. And drugs found

in this boarding house could lose us our
jobs. And no jobs, no wedding.

No, zip it, Brantley, because we are not
having a small do in a registry

office.

I remember the first time you did this
for me.

That was when you really got to me.

I was shaking.

Well, don't shake now. You'll be wearing
bits of toilet paper on your face all

day.

I love you, Jade.

You know that, don't you?

I know that.

There's no way.

I'm going to let you go to school on
your own.

Don't say stuff like that.

I don't mean anything by it.

Yeah, but you know what that guy said.

You need to control yourself.

I know, babe.

I'm trying, you know.

Just think about it. I mean, this could
be good for me too.

I could turn my life around.

I'll never know.

Might grow up to be a brain surgeon.

Get a move on. You've got two minutes.

Two minutes? Two minutes.

So, we have got a full school

roll. Yes.

Didn't I tell you?

Parents round here want better for their
children.

Mine don't.

Mrs Mulgrew.

Thrilled that you accepted our offer.

Oh, I'm so glad you accepted my
application, Mr. Byrne. No, no, your

were outstanding.

And our English department needs you.

You must be Connor.

Welcome to Waterloo Road.

Right, well, um, why don't we go to
Connor's, see if you can make some new

friends. What's the point?

I just want to thank you, Mr. Byrne, for
taking Connor on.

He seems like a fine young man to me.

Oh, he is.

You can just be a bit of a stranger to
the truth at times.

Mrs Nielsen, how are you? Don't look so
suspicious.

They might not let you in dressed like
that.

If they don't have me in us, then we'll
be sorry.

Jake, I'm not so worried. I'm joking.

If things don't work out, we can just
pack up and go home, OK?

No.

No, I think I'm going to like it here.

I could be so sure.

I thought I was giving you a lift this
morning. Oh, I wish you did. It was

freezing late in that bus. They said it
was going to be cold, but they never

said it was going to be flaming bolted.

Well, what happened?

Oh, Mr Burnham let me come in early to
sort this lot out. Do you know that

had, like, 300 applications?

Really? Oh, and forget about that lift
home.

I'll be here till midnight.

That's a shame.

I was just wondering if you fancy going
to see a movie later?

Are you asking me on a date, Jack?

A date?

No.

It's just a movie. A movie's not a date,
is it? It's just a movie.

It's just I've got to ask Cheryl.

But I could ask the charmander to stay
on a little while. She won't mind.

So that's a yes, is it?

I'm not paying her extra for nothing, am
I?

Good luck today.

Okay. Audrey McFall. History.

I note a woman of mature years, Audrey.
Tell me, did Michael bring you out of

retirement for his glorious experiment?

I was about to ask you the same
question.

Didn't you teach in this building when
it was Havelock High School?

Not a happy time.

Dress code, corridor code, code of
conduct. It's like a military academy.

You should try teaching somewhere where
there are no rules.

Assembly time.

Hello there. We've not been introduced.

I'm Daniel Chalk.

Most people call me Chalky.

Hello, Chalky. Nice to meet you. I'm
Christy Mugger.

So you're from Havelock High as well?

No, I was teaching in Gladgow before.

My son and I just fancied a chain.

Let me get that for you.

Sure. Thank you.

Names?

Uh, dream date British.

Same dad.

Different ones.

My acceptance letter.

Thank you.

And you?

My name won't be there. Because, uh, her
mum forgot to register me.

She's, uh, a little bit gaga.

Yes, she does.

I'm sorry. I'm going to have to ask you
to leave the premises. We need you to

enroll. Sir.

Please let him in.

I've read all about this school.

You said you'd take any kid no matter
what the background, right?

As long as I want to work hard and
learn.

Well, that's me.

Isn't it, Jane? Definitely.

Sorry, we have rules and you haven't
enrolled.

Excuse me.

Enrolled.

Enrolled. What's the big difference?

Well, like you said, we're... Didn't
someone say that to Mary and baby Jesus?

Look, there is an alternative school in
the area. Have you tried there?

I would say, but the master's not up to
much.

I think he's one out of order snagging
off in the papers.

I'm telling you, sir, it's great. You've
opened more than you've ever done.

I feel like a bit of competition will
raise the standards, eh?

Thank you for the cabaret.

Surely we can fit in just one more.

Look, me, headmaster, you, hands -off
sponsor, remember?

All right, Drew, how does this sound?
You show me what you're capable of

and we may be able to come to some
arrangement.

Get yourself up to my secretary's
office, give her all of your details,

yourself up a school uniform.

Cross corridor on the left.

Is this the school office?

No, it's the gym to hide your tail.

Ed Mads is about to give you my details.

All right.

More details.

That's all I need.

Did you have to enrol me?

Like now? I am not taking orders off
you.

Who are you anyway?

Drew Willis, take it down.

W -I -L -L.

Yeah, I know how to spell Willie. P -L
-O -N -K -E -R.

43 Burns Lane, Greenock.

GLQ 143816.

Year 12?

You got a problem with that?

I've got a problem with you, you cheeky
duck.

I was held back here at my old school
for being thick.

Like a jumper.

Welcome,

all of you, to Waterloo Road.

This is the first day of our future
together.

But before we celebrate that future, I
think we should remember the past.

Our dear friend Denzel Kelly, who, as
many of you know, tragically

died in the accident over the summer.

If we could just take a moment of
silence now to remember him.

Waterloo Road is a school in the
community and for the community.

The only qualification you need to come
here is that you live in the area and

you want to learn.

But this school wouldn't even be here
without one very important person.

So let me introduce the woman who's
paying for all of this, your very own

benefactor, Ms Lorraine Donegan.

Don't you all look gorgeous in your new
uniforms?

The reason I set up this school is to
help kids like you.

I'm in. I set up my first business in
this town, and I've done all right.

And the main reason for that is that
headmaster sitting there.

The best in the country.

He was the teacher who turned my life
around.

And I know he's going to do the same for
you.

You're in the best hands.

So work hard!

Right,

inside please. Single file and no
talking.

She's been active -facing today.

You want to try living with her?

No.

She's my mom. For real?

I said no talking.

If you don't know how to spell belief at
this stage, we're going to have an

uphill challenge getting you to A -level
English.

I'm trying my best, miss.

Maybe you should try a bit harder.

My mum's in prison.

I thought she was the worst mum in the
world.

No, you definitely are.

Whoa!

God, I've got history next. I hate
history.

Really? I love her still.

Oi! That's my blazer.

And they're my trousers and all.

You must have broken into my room and
nicked it. Oi, leave her!

Scout, what's going on? I stole my
uniform.

She's a thief. That's my badge. I've had
it for years. And they're my trousers

and all.

Get to your classes, you lot, please.

And you.

She's with me.

No, she's not. She's with me.

My classroom.

Isn't it a rule against teachers taking
a girl to a classroom on her own?

And you are.

Hmm.

Willis. Mr Clarkson, deputy head. Like I
said, gets your class.

She doesn't fancy a better idea.

Look it up.

You two, wait there.

Look at that.

You've got a problem.

That girl seems scared of you.

No. You're crazy.

She loves me.

Ask her.

I'm going to be watching you.

You report back here to me at morning
break. You do the same at lunchtime. Do

you understand?

Follow me.

What are you taking, James?

Well, that'll be my little secret.

Somehow I'm not surprised to see you
again.

I'm really sorry, sir. I didn't break in
or anything. I just walked through the

door. It wasn't locked.

Some burglars smash windows, some walk
through open doors. Either way, you're

still a thief.

Please don't call the police, sir.

First thing you're going to do is give
Jodie back her uniform.

I don't want it now. She's bogging me
off.

Maybe Jade should just keep hold of the
uniform, Mr Byrne. We've got new ones in

stock, haven't we?

Jade, I'd like you to apologise to
Jodie, please.

I'm dead sorry, Jodie.

It's scowl.

Honest to God, my mum wouldn't give me
any money for a uniform, and I really

wanted to come here.

It's all right. Those trousers were
horrible on me anyway.

That's very big of you, Jodie.

Go and collect a new uniform for Miss
Croft.

Now, Jade, on to your next class,
please, and I don't want to see you in

office again until you're picking up the
prize for best pupil, all right?

Off you go.

You ever feel you're being lied to?

Oh, yes.

There's something going on between her
and another pupil.

Yeah, Drew Willis.

Their half -brother and sister.

Well, if they are, there's definitely
something not right.

When this school was the old Havelock
High, they wanted to take history off

curriculum.

But there's...

So much we can learn about ourselves
from towering figures of the past.

Winston Churchill, Robert the Bruce,
Henry VIII. What can we learn from Henry

VIII? I beg your pardon?

Conor Mulgrew?

I mean, he married his dead brother's
wife, got rid of her, married another

and executed two of them. Well, you know
what?

All parents have signed up to our strict
rules of classroom behaviour.

He can do what he wants. His mum's an
English teacher in this school.

What did you tell her that for? You two?

Well, write me an essay on why schools
should teach history.

500 words.

Yes, Lola.

Will we also study the history of
Africa?

Well, we may not get round to all of it.

Do you have a special area of interest,
Lola?

Jade's no paperwork for him yet.

It's given me this number is not
recognised message in this address.

I've phoned up the council and the house
has been boarded up for months.

Right.

Keep an eye on Drew, Tom.

I've got him reporting to me at morning
break.

Good.

Now, don't forget, it's an equation, so
if it doesn't balance at the end, you

have to start from the beginning again.

Morning, class.

Morning, Mr Lyons.

Thank you. Sit back down, please.

Sorry to interrupt, Mr Chalk. I just
need a quick word with Jade Willis. Of

course. And Drew, what are you doing
here?

I thought you'd be in year 13.

How old are you?

I'm 16, sir.

17 next September.

Jade?

Uh... Jade's being fitted for a new PE
kit, so unless you'd like to try one

on... I'll be fine, Drew.

Now, come on.

Interruption over.

Back to your favourite subject,
equations.

Jade, I need you to be honest with me.

Application.

It's all nonsense, isn't it?

No, sir, it's... Your breath, your phone
numbers, you made it all up.

Is there anything in this that's true?

Yes, sir.

It's true that I really want to come to
this school.

I need to be here.

What about Drew?

You can stop lying, Jade. He's not your
brother, is he?

OK, you can tell me or I'll call social
services and you can explain the whole

thing to them. Your choice.

So how about we just start from the
beginning?

Now, move, will you?

Just because you can't walk, don't mean
you can boss folk about.

Let go.

Where are you going?

To the toilet.

Fine.

Mrs. Malkrew?

Yes. Miss McFall.

History. Oh, hello.

Your son.

Yes. He's bright.

Very bright. But there's just a little
too much playing to the gallery, if you

know what I mean.

After all the warnings I've given him, I
really do apologise.

Well, it's not that bad. But I just
thought I'd mention it.

You looking for someone?

A pain in the backside called Drew
Willis.

And here's me thinking this school's
going to be a nice, easy ride.

Thanks, but I can manage.

You know, I won't be here today if I
don't let people out then.

Yeah, well, you don't know what it's
like having everyone take the piss out

you. Yeah, really.

I heard you had a nickname for me when I
was in the psychiatric ward.

Mentally.

Maybe you heard wrong.

Really.

Not that bad. It gets a bit cold at
night, though.

How long have you been living like this?

Only a week or two.

Maybe a couple of months.

Look, I had nowhere else to go.

Drew came with me because I was scared
on my own.

We love each other.

Your mother needs to know that you're
safe.

She doesn't care about me.

Why else do you think she hasn't
reported me missing?

How do I know that she hasn't? She
couldn't care less about me.

Jade, you need to come on back to
school, OK? I mean, look at this place.

Why do you think you're so... run down?

And I'll need you to get checked out by
the school nurse, you and Drew both.

So collect up all your things, all
right? Because you're not staying here

another night.

Don't shout at me, pal. I don't know
where she is.

I want to know where she is. Dad, what
do you think you're doing?

Dad, Master's got Jade. Where's he
taking her?

None of your business.

She is my business. She's my girlfriend.

So you say.

What?

Well, she's... I asked you a question.

She's not your property, pal.

What are you trying to do to us here?

Are you trying to split us up or
something?

Oh, you're being stupid now.

Someone's going to get that space bug!

You have got two options.

One, you are coming down the cooler with
me where you will calm down.

Or two, you're going out of that door
for good.

Yeah.

You would like that, wouldn't you?

Where are you going?

Scout, there's that girl that stole your
uniform.

Oh, aye?

Fanfare or something, do you?

What? No, it's just... Look, Phoenix,
I'm not trying to be cheeky, eh, but...

Pirate extinguisher. Tom's gone to get
one.

How did this happen?

Well, there is such a thing as
spontaneous combustion.

Thanks, Tom. Thank God we banned mobile
phones. It should be all over YouTube.

We need to find the culprit.

Might be the headmaster for that block,
aye?

Right, get back to your breaks.

You all right with this one?

Jade?

Jade?

Michael?

You can fill you in at that point.

I've designed the most rooms in the
schoolhouse for tonight.

That's not a good idea.

They need to be kept apart.

Like I said, Drew acts like the elder.

We're going to have to contact social
services anyway, so I'll get Drew's

Well, that'll be a work of total fiction
as well.

Come on, you.

With me.

Jade, can you remember when you had your
last period?

I'm not really sure.

My life's been upside down for months.

Do you know you're pregnant?

I need to know why you were both
sleeping in a derelict house.

Jade's given me her story.

What does she say? Never you mind what
she said. I want to hear your version.

We're both over 16. We can do what we
want. No, not when you're in my school,

you can't. I have a duty of care.

Do your parents know you've been
sleeping rough?

My mum's off the planet.

They took her away to an institution. I
couldn't pay the rent.

So?

So you don't have any other relatives?

No friends who could give you a couch to
sleep on?

I'm just building no mates, aren't I?

Right.

We need to get you checked out.

Checked out? Yes.

You could have caught anything sleeping
in that dump.

How long have you known?

I don't know.

I was just praying that it wasn't for
real.

But I've missed three now.

And do you know who the father is?

Of course I do. I'm not a tart.

You better tell me. You can't tell
anyone about this. This is my private

business.

Come in.

Everything all right, nurse?

Yes, everything's fine.

Do you go to the dining room and get
yourself something to eat, please?

We're going to offer Jade a room in our
schoolhouse and try to find some foster

accommodation for you.

Split us up?

No way.

Well, I'm not banning you from seeing
each other.

Because I'm not going to like you.

Can I get that and all?

To be honest, I shouldn't be giving you
anything to eat.

That was the pack of lies you told me
about Scout, wasn't it?

Eh? There wasn't even a hint of any
drugs in our room. How do you know?

Never you mind how I know.

You tell her I'm going to have to try
and get on.

They're trying to split us up, Jane.

What are you talking about?

That head monster said he was going to
give you a room in this full house.

Don't look like you're happy about it.

I don't know, Drew. If it's just until
we get sorted, there's something I need

to tell you.

I'm going to get downed out.

No, you won't. Listen to me, Drew.

We have to make a run for it.

Now. I can't.

If I say we'll make a run for it, we'll
make a run for it, OK? Oi!

Off her! Please, Drew!

Stop it, Drew! I'm not coming with you!

Jade. Jade.

Jade.

Tell me where it hurts.

Come on, get up.

I can't.

I'm carrying our baby.

We can't do this anymore.

Call an ambulance.

Maggie? Get off me!

Get off me!

Get off me!

Jade. Everyone sit back down, please.
There's nothing to see. Finish your

Jade.

It's going to be okay.

It's going to be fine.

I'm going to stay with you.

I'm going to stay with you. I'm going to
be with you all the way.

You've got nothing to worry about, OK?

Drew, you see, we have to be cute.

Go away!

Calm yourself down.

OK,

OK, don't be stupid, son, don't be
stupid.

Anyone can see me, they'll get it.

Drew, we can help you.

Quite tough.

John!

John!

Right, I think it's time we called the
police.

Yeah.

This really is Waterloo Road.

Real name is Drew Kelly.

He and Jade Fleming ran away from their
care home in Hackney three months ago.

You're the lucky escape, sir.

Last person tried to separate those two
got his lung punctured.

I don't know.

She'll need police protection.

How cool is that?

He's one of the fattest runners in the
world. He's got no legs.

You could beat us all in that thing.

Grantley. Christine.

Friendly visit?

Didn't see you at lunch.

No, I had to nip out, uh, unexpectedly.

Was there something?

A tradition with the Waterloo Road staff
to repair to the local hostelry after a

hard day's work for a light libation.

Well, you have to have something to lift
your spirits, don't you, Grantley?

I see it as a reward for a job no sane
person would willingly do.

It's so good to know you have a sense of
fun. You know, the teachers at my last

school were a bunch of miserable sods.

So, I trust the Bannockburn Arms, four o
'clock. Looking forward to getting to

know everyone.

Oh, my God, how embarrassing.

Small malfunction in the wardrobe
department.

That's never happened to me before.

So, the Bannockburn Arms, then, at four.

Having our baby.

It's mad, isn't it?

I mean, in a good way.

The doctor's coming any minute.

I think I'm all right, though.

So far.

You can't stay here, Jane.

It'll be all over for us.

There's more than just us now, Drew.

We can't go on a run with a baby. What
are you saying?

We have to.

I need to stay at the schoolhouse.

For our baby's sake.

Not to go to that school.

You didn't listen.

I'm going back to Scout's tonight
because one of your staff roommates has

us punishment exercises today. Well, you
must have deserved it.

So, what time are you going back?

I don't know.

Well, just don't be late, Connor. I'll
see you at home. I've got a few things

do.

I hope Scout can keep you out of
mischief.

Maybe I'm wrong about you, Mum. You seem
to be nicer.

No.

How about we go for food after?

A nice meal?

You can afford it, can't you?

Happy with that, Janice.

I'm more than happy.

Everyone needs to know where they've
come from because they need to know

they're going.

A deeper study of history will help
analyse current events, individuals and

places. Therefore, it is essential in
every school curriculum.

Job done.

What are you going to write for yours?

I'll think of something.

Do you fancy something?

Don't be daft. Well, good.

Cos me and Scout are together, right?

No, we're not, Phoenix.

Maybe we were in England, but things are
different now.

I don't think anyone wants us, mate.

OK, everybody, grubs up!

Me and all?

Well, yeah.

There's plenty for everyone.

Don't look so shocked.

It's just that I'm not allowed to walk
back to my house.

Well, what good's that thing going to
do?

This school has ruined everything.

If they can take it away from me...
Drew...

What you do right now is going to

determine the rest of your life. I don't
have a life anymore!

Don't you get that?

Jade's going to be a mother.

That's what's changed everything.

We know about the stabbing at the care
home.

Yeah, we know about it.

So if you really want a chance of seeing
Jade and your baby, the only really one

thing you can do is... No, I can't.

You hand yourself over to the police,
there's every chance they'll cut down

sentence. You'll have time to get out.

Really make something of your life.

That's why they took Jade away from you.

You just became unhealthy, Drew.

Your parents abandoned you.

The judge will take you into account.

All right, you need help, son.

You just need help.

But if today isn't a slap in the face
for our zero -tolerance smug

headmaster, I don't know what is.

I think Michael Byrne is brilliant.

Has everyone got that from Miss
McFarlane? She hears anyone call Mr.

smart, she's going to give us all lines.

My shout, I think.

Tom, are you up there?

Is it just me or are these bottles
getting smaller?

Hey, Tom, are you better?

Yeah, we don't want to miss the
trailers, do we?

Surely not.

I am usually of the opinion there is
nothing new in the world. I've just been

proved wrong.

A little wager on the end result.

I'll give it a chance, Crowley. Now,
believe me, that is a tragedy of

Shakespearean proportions waiting to
happen.

Just don't run, sorry.

I'd do anything for her. I love her.

Well done for writing this.

I'm going to look after her.

What's happened?

Been a bad boy, miss.

Nice of you to give me a chance.

See you later.

He's been on the run from police for
months.

He stabbed a worker in his car.

Well... If I ever needed a lesson in
butting out.

You might have to brace yourself for the
headlines tomorrow.

OK, but I'm not taking no for an answer.
Us three are going for a nice meal on

me at my favourite restaurant.

Tom, are you doing anything at the
moment?

Well, it's a delicate one, but I think
you're the man for the job.

What's with the shocked face, Connor?
Has it been a ghost or something?

Hi, Mum. I'm just leaving.

Why are you?

Why don't you stay at home?

What a good idea.

No, Mum, we've got to go.

You're such a spoilsport, Connor.

Come on, Mum.

All right, little goody two -shoes. You
all right, Mum?

Where are you going?

I've left the car at the pub.

You're not driving in that state.

Shut your face!

Mum, come on.

The kids have been fed.

Meet after school and some talking
coursework lesson plans.

Grantley Budgeon, you don't look like
you can string two words together, let

alone discuss lesson plans, especially
with her.

I'm so cold, Stover.

Yeah, well, you will be with a hoy this
at you.

Oh, Maggie, don't be like that. Just
joining in with my new work colleagues.

Who do you think they could drink me on?

On to the table.

Yes, well, the next time that you decide
to go to the pub to chat work,

I'll be joining you.

Somebody stole my brother's phone, I
know who.

What are you laughing about, raspberry
face?

Hang on, don't upset yourself. We'll get
it sorted.

Well, you better or Rhiannon's thoughts
are going to get murdered.

Heel. Heel.

20. Come here. Come here.

How good was that, eh?

To be honest, I could sit through the
whole thing again.

Probably because the company was so
good.

I've had enough of that.

I'm watching my figure, aren't I?

Why? You look lovely.

Could we get back?

Look, I've got a bottle of red wine.

Hey, red wine.

Why?

Listen, if we're out, then we're out.

And there's no way I'm going home to see
Cheryl bawling her head off.

I'm not sure about this, Janice.

Janice?

Janice? Michael, the school curriculum,
it's a bit...

It's snooty, isn't it?

Well, I think elite might be the word
that you're looking for.

I was thinking more along the lines of
bollocks.

Like you said, I'm not running the
school, but I do have an interest in

the kids learn things that will be
useful to them.

So, I thought I'd get the ball rolling
with this.

It's a design competition.

And the winner takes £5 ,000.

No, not going to happen.

Michael, listen.

Once the parents hear their kid could be
up for winning five grand, they're

going to come flocking.

Even more.

We don't need any more pupils, Lorraine.

Did I mention the bench was for Denzel's
Peace Garden?

Right, fine, but only if the money
contributes towards their university

You are such a spoilsport.

There's nothing wrong with the kids
competing for financial reward.

There is if it disrupts their academic
goals. Come on, we are supposed to be

celebrating. I mean, who'd have thought
we'd ever have parents queuing up to get

their kids into Waterloo Red? Me, for
one.

Well, at least we know the worst day of
the year is over.

Cheers.

Ah, thought it was you lot.

The carpetbaggers.

Here they are, folks.

The hoi polloi celebrating destroying
your local school.

Your bun, I take it.

Yes, and who the hell are you?

Your rival.

He's the head of Havelock High, and he's
a moron.

We'd like to dine in peace, if you don't
mind. Oh, yes, yes, of course. And why

don't you clink your glasses to the four
members of my staff that I let go this

week? Yes, ask yourself why.

Because you told them a lie, that you
need private money to give kids a good

education. No, excuse me, not one child
is paying to go to Waterloo Road, and I

wouldn't be there if they were. Watch
your back, Ben.

Watch her back.

You've been warned.

Mr Clarkson.

Hey, Jade.

I thought I'd pop in and see how you
are.

I didn't expect to visit.

I'll get you some bits and pieces from
everyone at Waterloo Road.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

We know all about you, Jade Fleming.

How you were in care with Drew and what
he did.

He didn't mean to do it.

I love Drew, but I thought I might be
pregnant.

And I knew everything had to change.

That's why I enrolled.

Well, you've made the right decision.

You've got to think about yourself now
and your baby.

And we'll be there for you both back at
the school.

Okay?

You might want to read this.

Beautiful Jade.

Please forgive me for breaking my
promise to you again.

This time I'm going to get the help I
need.

And who knows?

When I'm better, maybe we can meet up
again.

You. Me and our baby.

I love you.

And you know I'd do anything for you.

Good luck at Waterloo Road.

I know you'll do brilliant.

The pasta knows when.

Ah, three bottles you had last night.
You never thought I'd say this, Connor,

but you're getting really boring. I
think he had some sort of it the body.

I said you never!

Luna! Luna, what are you... That's me!

Let's talk about the motifs that Gerald
employed in Gatsby. Wasn't Fitzgerald an

alcoholic? Why are we listening to a
bunch of drunk... That's good trains

back. All those ghosts waiting for you.

Oh, I don't believe in ghosts.

Let's hope this parts with as good as
your uncle says it is.

You have to stop them!
