All language subtitles for Waterloo Road s08e12

Most of you know that Demi Jean was
involved in a fire last term. A fire

must take responsibility for.

If you did look into fostering me, then
I'd be cool with it, you know?

And the gym came round today.

How am I going to face it knowing what I
did?

Car's been stolen?

Where's my car?

How should I know?

Because you went in my bag.

You took your phone and my car key.

it does seem that i need to address the
fact that i'm facing legal proceedings

regarding the death of my father all i
really did was carry out my father's

wishes i believe that what i did was
justified

Look, Mr Byrne's definitely gone to
prison. He admitted he did it.

No way.

Killing someone's killing someone,
though, isn't it? Whether they want you

it or not, I reckon it's bye -bye
Bernie.

You shouldn't have charged him up this
place, though.

What's wrong with you two?

Oh, they're ill.

I smell that baker's making me feel
sick.

Me too.

Yes, well, you shouldn't snaffle off to
the chippy every five minutes, should

you? It's not like we're doing feedies
here, is it?

Hmm, that's a fancy bag. Where do you
get it?

Is it new?

Er, some lad was selling stuff in the
streets, you know.

Bags, purses, scarves and all that.

Oh, but it's not knock -off.

Couture before conscience.

It's the moment that stops hearing them.
At the prospect of stepping inside a

classroom.

Welcome to my world.

Oh, wait a sec, you're not vomiting
here?

What? Not one, no.

I'll check in with you later, right?
After school.

Yeah, yeah.

You go.

It's all right.

I'll be fine.

Just want to get some sleep.

I'll be alright.

Probably this afternoon.

Don't worry about me.

Yeah, well, drink lots of water.

Yeah, sure.

I can't do this.

I can't face your mum.

Yes, you can.

Please don't make me do it, please.

Pull yourself together, Connor.

This isn't about you.

I lied for you. For us?

No. What do you think it would do to
Imogen if she ever found out? Do you

to put her through that?

No. No.

He said it would be his first thing this
morning. The full winning payment.

All of it. Your available balance is
£210

,055.

We're rich!

Can't believe we just heard that. We've
won the lottery.

There's money here. You've just got to
sniff it out.

You've got eyes open. I'm calling to get
any bright ideas.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come
on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come
on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Come

on.

Morning.

Morning. Nice day for a run.

Oh,

are you sure that's all your gear?

Yeah, I'm used to travelling, right?

Well, you've reached your final
destination.

I just wanted to say about me coming to
live with you. Yeah?

I don't want anyone to know.

No, of course not.

How many people have you told?

Oh, well, just the ones that need to
know, like Mr Byrne or Mrs Diamond. I'm

excited, I know, with him.

I'm looking forward to hearing that.

Yeah, me too.

But I think it's better if we just keep
it quiet.

For now.

Yeah, my lips are sealed.

The day of

judgement is upon us.

Will the long finger of justice settle
on our glorious leader?

Morning, everyone.

Morning. Morning.

Look, I know that you all have different
opinions about what I did. I couldn't

really have expected anything else.

There are opinions which I have to
respect, regardless of how I feel about

happened. The school is already divided.

Do you appreciate...

How difficult it's going to be for you
to lead Waterloo Road should you go on

trial. Hold on a minute.

Who's with it? We'll get to that. No,
no, I couldn't agree more.

And I couldn't impose one iota of the
disapproval that I've experienced on

school. That really would be a crime.

Which is why I've decided that if this
case goes to trial, I will resign.

OK, people.

Class is to teach.

Michael, Michael.

I know you want a trial.

But are you sure?

There's an argument to be had here.

If I had to, I'd do the same thing all
over again.

Can you come?

Whoa, stop.

Where did you get that bag?

It's mine.

It's mine, and I think we both know
where you got it from. From my car.

Did you send that email as well?

What email?

I just bought it off some lad yesterday.

Yeah, of course you did.

Go back to my stuff.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Where is it?

I just said I don't know. It went out to
do with me.

Are you sure it's your bag, miss?

They can all look the same, some of
these designer ones.

Yeah, Arden, he's got one just like it.

Why don't you lot get in? You stay
there.

Come on, in, quickly.

Go to the janitor's office.

Get a mop and a bucket and bring it back
here.

You're cleaning floors all morning.

You can't make me do that.

I am.

I'm excluding you for disruptive
behaviour.

Start with this corridor.

Come on, open up.

£200 ,000.

I can't believe we're the lottery
winners.

Do you know what I'm going to buy? What?
A BMW Z5 in red.

Different convert for every day of the
month.

A wardrobe full of diesel.

Hundreds of Banksy T -shirts.

Fitch's headphones.

How about a hardcore hard trail bike?

And a well -slick apartment in the dark.
Oh, yeah. With a rooftop terrace. And

cruising into school with our beamer.

Oi, hurry up. It's nine o 'clock.

Come on, man.

We've been waiting for 80.

Yes.

Connor?

What?

Have you not lost the way you're
supposed to be?

Yeah, um, Mr. Trox.

Well, go on then, pep -pep.

So, we will be using iteration to solve
difference equations and unlock the

miracle that is compound interest, which
is how your pensions will be worked out

one day.

Pensions? We'll never get a clean name.

You oldies are living too long.

Teaching you lot, I don't think so.

Now, come on, get cracking.

You, er, you shouldn't find this much of
a problem.

There, go out something else then.

Right, yeah, of course.

Where have you been?

Phoenix Taylor is a no -show.

Oh, um, him and Harley are sick. Maggie
told me, should have said.

How sick?

Well, sick enough not to be here.

Oh, so much for the 100 % attendance
record. You know, Phoenix could do with

prune more than once.

Well, there's not much you can do about
it.

Well, how am I supposed to get the
results if I can't even get them in the

classroom in the first place?

Well, everyone was bound, I guess.

You're kidding me.

No, we booked it earlier on.

It's up in style now, bro. It's time to
live life.

I always spend money while I've got it.

Just what?

I knew you'd be like this.

That's why I rang Dad. What?

Barry.

What?

What is your problem?

That bag you sold me, it was nicked.

What, I didn't give you time? Why should
I?

Because I was doing it a favor. You must
have wondered why you got it so cheap.

It was nicked from Boston's car.

You said you got off some lad down at
the market.

That's right.

What's the flat name?

If I can give it Boston, I can get her
off my back.

We don't grasp.

All right, then. I'll just give you your
name.

And that would be a big mistake.

Well, I am not doing this all day.

Yes, you are. Why?

Well, because instead of graphing up
your mate, you should be thinking about

keeping your mouth shut could get rid of
Boston.

But good.

How do you look that one out?

Well, she thinks you've nicked her car.

So she's got you out here working while
you should be inside that classroom.

Learning stuff.

I know.

So?

So, she's depriving you of your right to
an education.

And when they catch you really took it,
Cor, and then find out this has been

going on, well, she's going to look like
a pretty rubbish teacher, isn't she?

And so the longer you spend out here,
the more reason they have to fire her.

Oh.

You missed a bit.

You're going to resign?

If it goes to trial, yes.

Tell me you're joking.

It's some kind of bluff to try and get
everyone on side?

I'll have no choice.

The school split staff and students...
So we hold everyone together?

Audrey was right.

My position will be untenable. I'll
decide that.

I've been behind you from the start.

Put my neck and my reputation on the
line.

All the more reason for me to go,
Lorraine. I know you're as good as

you're guilty. No, I... Absolutely not.
What's it going to look like?

Bottom line, you need to man up. You're
not a criminal, so don't act like one.

I've damaged the school enough.

She resigned when I was charged by the
police.

And I would have talked you out of it
then too.

I'll ask Sian to cover my work for the
day, all right?

That's it?

Future of the school taken out of our
hands?

I'm doing this so you can keep the
school's future in your hands.

I expected more from you.

Excuse me, love.

I'm looking for Mr Byrne. Is he in? If
you're selling something, Miss Donegan's

the one you want. What do you mean,
selling something? No, I'm here to see

lads. Phoenix and Harley Taylor. I'm the
dad.

Oh, right.

Well, Mr Byrne's a bit distracted today.

You come with me. I'll see what I can
do.

But I don't understand how they can love
each other when they've only just met.

It never explains.

We're asked to believe that the
attraction between Romeo and Juliet is

overwhelming that neither of them
fully...

fully understands it.

And we remember that they are teenagers
not giving a thing about things, Mrs

Budgin.

Sorry about this.

Kenneth and Harley aren't answering
their phone.

I've called them twice.

It may have escaped your notice, but I
am teaching.

Knit back when you get a minute.

See what they're up to.

Sorry about that.

Right, so, where were we?

How are things with you, Mr Smith?

It's going well, yeah. Yeah, really
well.

Yeah, I'm mad busy with the new
business. It's plumbing supplies.

Here.

We've got it nationwide.

Oh, thank you.

Well, I know that Phoenix and Harley
will be delighted to see you.

Well, they're doing all right, are they?
Knuckling down to it? They're doing

well. Only, you hear a few things about
these types of schools, you know.

A bit experimental, some reckon.

Sure, but we're very pleased with the
way our students are responding.

Glad to hear it.

We are having a few issues with Phoenix,
though.

Like what?

I'm just a little bit worried the focus
has slipped.

We're trying to approach it through our
new pupil referral unit.

What? It sounds like a young offenders
unit. What's it been doing? It's a

discipline -led initiative that works by
supporting our underachieving pupils.

Underachievers?

You told me the sky's the limit when he
came up here.

You made me all kinds of promises.

Look, I have absolutely no doubt that
Phoenix can achieve his maximum

I wasn't expecting this.

Why don't we get the boys up here and
you can see for yourself?

Sonia? Can you find Phoenix and Harley
for me? And if you can get hold of Sian,

please? They're in bed with food
poisoning.

Ate something nasty at the chippy.

I'll see if I can find out what's going
on.

Connor?

Connor?

Why aren't you talking to me?

I'm not.

I mean... You see something?

I didn't mean to, it's just... What's
wrong?

Nothing, I need to go.

Right, get back.

What's going on?

I don't know.

What if we told Dad I wanted to?

I don't want him involved.

Get off!

Dad? What are you doing here? Just came
to see how you're getting on. It's just

as well I did. What kind of a school are
you running here?

Do you mind telling me what's going on?
What's all this?

Me and Phoenix have won the lottery.

Make sure you show your workings out.

Otherwise you might only get a B.

That's, uh, that's almost funny.

Sorry.

Got to keep Chalky pleased, though,
right?

Now he's your old fella.

You told you that?

It's all about the place.

Great.

Don't you want to move in with him?

Yeah.

Might as well.

I just don't want him making a big deal
out of it about the school.

Yeah, you can sit up at night, talking
about algebra and that. You have gone

past funny.

That's hilarious.

Sean, can I have a word? Yeah, of
course.

Have you thought about what happens if
Michael goes to trial?

I made that clear.

He'll resign.

Yeah, but what then?

I'll need to replace him, quickly.

Would you think about it?

We're not there yet. I mean, don't you
think we should wait? We both know

practically been doing his job since his
whole business with his dad started.

So you'd never come out and say it.

I'd need to speak to Michael first.

Why? I'd feel better being open about
it.

Sean, we're not going to go behind his
back.

He said he'll stand down.

I need someone to run my school.

I know. I need continuity, which means
you or Tom.

And I've always thought that you make a
great headteacher.

I don't know what to say.

Say yes.

Mr. Byrne wants a word with you, Miss
Diamond.

Good for how we will need to be steered
through this.

Kids winning the lottery.

It's a new one on me.

How much have they won? 200 ,000. Now
the father started asking questions.

What, their father's in? I think you're
better equipped to deal with this today

than me. Of course.

Thanks for taking care of it. No
problem.

Michael, I really hope that it doesn't
go to trial.

It's important that you know that.

I'm not going to let you ignore me,
Connor.

I deserve more than that.

I wasn't ignoring you.

You're too scared to tell me the truth.
I'm bad now.

You need to stay away from me.

I get it.

It's not me, it's you.

It's not about this then.

You can't even look at it.

Tell me to my face, Connor.

To this face.

You don't love me anymore.

It's all you see now, isn't it?

Have the guts to tell me.

Say it, Connor.

I'm fine.

I didn't like what I saw back there.
What was all that fighting

about?

You get your hands on a couple of quid
and it's come to that now, is it?

Well, I'm not having it. You two, shake
hands.

Come on.

Come on!

I haven't seen you in a suit before.

I've got a business to run now, haven't
I?

I'm doing pretty well. Well, not as well
as you two.

Flipping heck!

Mr Smith.

Sian Diamond, deputy head.

Unfortunately, Mr Burney is a little bit
tied up at the moment.

Well, I've knocked their heads together.
Somebody had to.

That's quite some news.

You must have been even more surprised
than we were.

Oh, my dad already knew. I told him
yesterday.

Yeah, it was for a last minute.

I see.

I'm sorry I never said anything.

Well, that's why I've come down here,
you know, in case there was any trouble.

Just like now.

You see, the thing is, it's a hassle,
it's money.

You don't want all the stress that goes
with it.

Well, I'd know.

Have you thought what you're going to do
with it all? Well, they're not going to

spend it all.

No, I'm not having that.

They'll follow proper advice and, well,
otherwise it'll be the ruin of them.

Who's that?

That's nothing.

Those people on your phone, who are
they?

Er... You must know who they are if
they're on your phone.

You two winning wasn't the only reason
why I came down here.

The woman on the phone, that's Vedetta,
and those are her two kids.

That's my fiancée.

We're, uh, we're engaged.

So you've got a whole new family you
didn't even bother to tell us?

Well, we've been up here.

The longer I left it, the harder it was
to tell you.

Is that why you've not been up to visit?

Oh, Anthony, there was phone calls.

I was scared.

But I knew he was in the right hand.

You're lying.

Why don't you let your father try and
explain?

It doesn't change anything.

I'm still your dad.

Can I borrow Phoenix a minute? Just a
minute.

Phoenix.

What's that about?

I'll be back in a minute.

Oi. All of this, that's yours,
apparently.

Yeah. Hodded it this morning.

Worked your book, decks, laptops, couple
of tablets, two hours, all, sister.

This is just mad.

Is it all for you, or is there something
in there for me, too?

You've got to put the brakes on this,
Phoenix.

Your father's right. It's not just about
spending.

I don't care what he said.

And where are you thinking of putting it
all?

Phoenix. A miraculous recovery.

That mystery illness that you had this
morning.

I'd like full explanation in class.

Yeah, we've just got a few things to
sort out first. I'd like him back in

Leave it with me.

Come on, everyone. We've got classes to
get to.

Morning. Hi.

You all right?

No.

Phoenix Taylor academically is
struggling and he needs help. But if

going to come to my classroom, how am I
going to provide him with it?

It's not every day you win the lottery.

If it was me, I'm not sure my mind would
be on my schoolwork.

Formal education isn't for everyone.

You can't learn everything in the
classroom.

You do leave with qualifications,
though, Lorraine.

How else are we going to help him make
the most of his life?

He knows he's done wrong, but he's here
to try and put it right.

Phoenix, look, I'm going to be there a
lot more for you two now.

Vanessa and the kids, I can't wait for
you to meet them. You'll love them, and

they can't wait to meet you, too.

For real? We're going to make it up to
both of you. So next holidays, we're

going to take you somewhere really nice,
like Spain or Florida, wherever you

want. And next year, I'm expanding the
company.

So you can be on board if you want to.
You know, a proper family business.

Sounds so cool.

How stupid do you think I am?

Win the lottery and now you're here.

You know what?

You're right.

And I don't blame you, son.

Okay, I'm off back to PRU. Phoenix,
don't.

Look, is there anything you can do?
Because every time I open my gob, it

seems to make matters worse.

I can understand how he feels.

I mean, as if winning the lottery isn't
enough for one day, they find out their

father's got a whole new family.

Yeah, I know.

Anything you can do.

I don't know.

Come on.

I've done it twice and now it's clean.

You got a name yet?

I told you. It was just some lad outside
the gate.

You really think you can take me on on
wind, don't you?

What is your problem?

I'll tell you what my problem is.

If you're not the thief, you know who
is. And one way or another, I'm going to

find out. So, how sick do you think I
am?

Why would I come into school with a bag
if I knew it was yours?

Did you think it's funny?

You're making yourself look really
desperate.

I told you what happened.

One more time.

A name.

No problem.

I'm not surprised you're angry.

I would be. But he came here to tell the
truth.

My friend never won the lottery. We
still wouldn't know.

One thing I can promise you is your
father had to be persuaded to let you

up here with us.

You weren't sent away.

You're here because he thought it was
the best thing.

Don't you want to meet him?

Maybe we'll be part of it. I don't want
to be part of his family.

If anyone wants to live with you, not
us.

I don't think that's true.

It could be good.

I just want Dad back.

It's moved on now.

Yeah, but he's there.

Please, just give him another chance.

He's really important to me.

Right then.

See you.

Promise.

supposed to run through the cones, not
rearrange them.

I heard they want half a million.

Everyone.

How mad's that?

I think they'll share it. If you're able
to talk, you're not working hard

enough. If it were me, I'd take my mates
to a mad weekend in Blackpool or

something.

Did you hear what I said?

I don't want any more talk about Phoenix
and his money. Because if he really

knew what was good for him, he'd be
here.

Okay? Keep going. Come on. Any news on
your car, Miss? Keep going, Barry.

Three, Two, one, change!

I'm sorry for everything I said.

Come here.

I won't let you lads down.

I promise you that.

It turns out that Morton Elton is with
it than he first admitted.

Yeah, I got that.

Turning up on the day that his boys win
the lottery. Well, that's not the half

of it.

Turns out he's got a whole new family
and he's not... Michael, it's your

solicitor. He wants you to call him.
Don't worry, it could be good news.

Well, I wish I could share your
sentiment.

Well?

The suspense is killing me. What did he
say?

The case was thrown out.

Prosecution weren't confident of a jury
finding me guilty.

That's good, though, right?

Apparently, they were worried it would
mean an enormous waste of taxpayers'

money. So it's finished?

We can move on?

You make it sound so simple.

They threw the case out because they
knew they didn't have one. How much more

simple can it be?

You don't want to know the answers to
that question.

Any news?

Yeah.

Michael's just got off.

Well, we won't get the bunting out just
yet, eh?

Thank you.

Well, the rumour mill's going to go into
overdrive. Do you want me to make an

announcement? Just filter it through the
staff for now.

They're boys.

Michael, there isn't going to be a
trial.

You're not going to prison and I get to
keep my headmaster.

It's over.

I want to join the PRU.

It's not there somewhere to hide away,
Conor.

I take it you've seen Imogen?

What did you say to her?

I couldn't say anything.

It was even worse than I thought. Look,
I'm on my way of being through this,

Conor.

I saw her face.

I did that meet. I can't do it. I can't.
Yes, you can.

Come on, son.

Take one day at a time.

Yeah?

Connor!

So, how long have you known your filthy,
stinking witch? About a week. And you

never told us?

Housemates are supposed to share
everything, especially money.

We're practically family now, so who
knows what he'll be buying me.

And what can I get for you, sir?

Surely we've got something to suit a
millionaire's palate.

I'm not hungry.

Oh, you're still feeling poorly, are we?

Did you say that?

Hmm, yeah.

A word.

Outside.

How come you never answer your phone?

Oh, it's just work.

Can't be doing with it, not today.

It's not the time of morning.

That's quiet.

Yeah, I'd better get this one.

Yeah, just come in.

Phoenix.

Have you, um... Have you given any
thought to what you might do with your

fortuitous winnings?

Not really.

Only if you were thinking of investing
any of it, I might have an interesting

proposal.

Hmm.

A horse racing syndicate.

A 20

% share in two long yearlings. Young
horses fast approaching their prime. All

costs included.

Vet bills that...

Vet bills.

The lot.

All you've got to do is sit back and
watch the prize money roll in.

No, I'm all right, thanks.

Well, why be rich for a day when you can
be rich for a life?

Sorry, I mean, thanks and all, but...
But you can buy whatever you like,

whenever you like, forever. Mr Budgeon!

I'm not interested.

Merely trying to help.

More fool me.

Let me guess.

Toilets need cleaning.

With a toothbrush.

Show me the way, then.

Fine. You win.

This time.

But enjoy it, because... the whole time
you're at this school, I own you.

I mean, you could leave, but where would
you go?

So... you belong to me.

OK?

Yeah, that's why I've come up to
Scotland.

You know, they don't want to mess with
the text, do they?

Look, it's hard.

We should all be up here together.

Really miss them, you know.

Look, I know we need cash.

Let me speak to Harley again.

Just give me a bit more time, okay?

Yeah, I'll speak to you later.

Bye.

What's wrong?

I was right.

He lied to us.

Tell me what's happened.

I heard him on the phone.

He needed the money for his business.
That's the reason why he came up.

And you're sure about that, aren't you?
I hate him.

Well, did Jodie tell you how she got the
bag?

Yeah, she claims she got it off from
random, but I don't believe her. She

it's mine.

And you really think she stole your car?

Well, if she didn't, she knows who did.

And it's only a matter of time before
the police find out.

She's sticking two fingers up at me,
Tom, and at the school.

She's totally out of character.

Really?

Not from what I've seen so far.

She's obviously not responding to the
PRU.

And I don't think she will either.

Look, don't take this the wrong way, but
are you sure this isn't personal?

I heard you on the phone.

It's true, isn't it?

Some reason why you came.

To get money off of us. What are you
doing listening to me phone call? Just

me. I think you owe Phoenix the truth.

This hasn't got anything to do with you,
all right. Phoenix, I'll ask you the

question.

I owe tens of thousands of tax.

And if I don't come up with it, they're
going to shut me down.

Well, Arlie called me last night. He
said that you two were sitting on 200

grand. What else was I meant to do?

I'm ashamed to call you my dad.

I'm in trouble.

I've got everything I've got into this
business.

And if it goes under, I'll have nothing
left.

Nothing.

I can't believe I've done this.

So why don't you just ask?

Because I helped you, my dad.

I was desperate.

I didn't know what to say.

Okay, I think perhaps you should go.

What am I going to say to Harley?

You'll tell that boy that you came here
to tell him about the new family. And

now that you know he and Phoenix are
okay, you're leaving.

Your composition pieces.

There's some good work in here. I was
impressed.

That's best, that was great.

Yeah,

good arguments, but just check your
spelling.

Hayley, good.

Casey, just look at how you're using
your paragraphs, all right?

What about mine?

Sorry? My composition.

What was it about?

Kids in foster care.

Oh, yeah?

It doesn't seem to be here. I don't know
what's happened to it. What do you

mean? It took me ages.

And I really tried hard with that. It's
important.

It says how I feel about my brother.

I don't know what to tell you. I had it
and now it's gone.

I can only think someone's stolen it.
Just like my bag.

You cow!

How could you do that?

You twisty!

I'm glad Phoenix made it up with my dad.

But... But what?

If his new family don't like us, or if
my dad's only up here because we're

loaded.

No, it's not stupid and everything.

No, it's not stupid.

And there's one other thing as well.

You worried how everyone here is going
to treat you because of the money.

How do you know?

I can read minds.

Really? No.

They've been looking at you since you
came in.

But... It's OK.

How do you see?

Nods and bling don't impress me.

I hope you're not going to let yourself
become distracted, Harley.

No, miss.

Do you know, if I'd had 200 grand at
your age, I'd have been a

much sooner.

It's only 100.

Half of it's ours.

Phoenix, have you any idea what an
opportunity this is? It's a total game

-changer. Yeah.

So, are you going to use it?

Are you going to blow the lot like a
total blonker?

I'm still thinking about it.

I don't think there's anything to think
about.

Look, if you're serious about investing
it and you want some advice, you know

where I am, right?

OK.

Are you happy now?

You've got what you wanted.

He can't even stand to look at me.

You've won.

It was an accident, Imogen.

Makes no difference.

Look, why don't I talk to Connor, hmm?

Why?

It's not going to change my face.

My son isn't like that.

Imogen, I have meant every word I've
said. I know it doesn't mean much to

it, but I am so sorry for the way I've
treated you, for... for everything.

You're right.

It means nothing.

You'll find out if this is good money or
bad money.

What do you mean?

If it's good money, it will bring luck.
If it's not, it will just make you

unhappy and you'll wish you never had
it.

Never heard of anyone wishing they'd
never won the lottery before.

When you lived in my country, if you had
money, you could do anything with it.

You had the power to help people or
sometimes hurt them.

You know?

But money isn't really the problem. More
is to find out what is in your heart

and show it to the world.

Wise words.

Remember, Harley, don't let it distract
you.

Yes, Miss.

So what would you do if you had it?

I would pray that it was good money. And
if it was, it would bring my father

back. So write for me much?

You write letters sometimes.

Would he ever get to come back?

I don't think so.

But when I'm older and have finished my
education...

Maybe I'll go back and leave with him.

I feel really bad, though.

Why?

I've got nothing to complain about, not
compared to you.

You weren't complaining.

You wanted my advice.

That's all.

Left off?

Leaving.

Like I told you, he only came here
because of the money. You're wrong.

He came because he cared about us. And
you pushed him away.

You should never have rung him.

He's after us cash. He admitted it. So
what? He's our dad.

We should help him. Are you for real?

We don't need him anymore. We're free.
Free to do what? Live the dream. Buy

stuff. We can't buy a new family.

And Dad's the only family we've got.

I don't want to lose him. And I don't
want another stupid ride in a limo.

He's let us down again.

You really want to give him that money?
No. I think we should invest it in the

family business.

Dad can take you on. Show you what it's
all about.

Good it all worked out, hadn't you?

You sound like Miss Donegan.

You should listen. You need this.

You're wasting your time here and you
know it. You want to run away, don't

Of course not. You know I don't.

I just want us to be a family. We are a
family.

Me and you. I've always been there for
you. We don't need no one else.

I'm loaded now. I don't care about the
money. I don't want more stuff.

Is this really what you want?

Is this really what will make you happy?

It's over.

What?

Your first day back.

You got through it.

Well done.

I could barely look at her, Mum.

I know.

I know, it's... It's hard.

I didn't know I was going to be that
bad.

What if I can't do it?

Connie, I'll say it again.

Yes, you can, and you will.

You can't change what's happened.

You've got your whole life ahead of you.
What good would it do to throw that

away? I know, I'm sorry, we're doing the
right thing, I know that, but... We

have to get through this.

It will be easy.

Right, that's me.

Ready to go.

And you're going to be back?

Well, I won't leave it as long this
time.

I spoke to Vanessa and she'd love you to
come over for a weekend.

You take care of yourselves, yeah?

See you soon, son.

And, um...

I'm sorry.

What for?

Leaving it like this. I just wish I'd
spent more time with you.

I'll go see you.

Wait.

How about I invest my half of the money
into your business?

Eh? I want to, but there's conditions.

Like what?

I come to work with you.

You teach me about the business.

I'll be your apprentice.

What about school?

I go to college one day in a week.

My son -in -law just wish he could help
me out with it.

Y 'all can be the brains, mate.

But not until you've finished here.

Then you can come join us.

You're a proper family business.

Phoenix, I think maybe you should think
this through.

No need to, mate. I already have.

So what do you think?

I think I owe you one.

But are we absolutely sure that this is
the right thing for Phoenix?

I think it is.

Everything we do here is about giving
each kid the chance to reach its full

potential. Yes.

Phoenix has £100 ,000 in his back pocket
and a family business to invest in.

It's a no -brainer.

And I'll make sure that he gets all the
college stuff he needs.

All right.

Well done.

So, out of interest, would you
suggest... It doesn't matter, does it?

I've got a very good headmaster.

We're not going to mention it again. No,
we're not.

You're really going then?

Yeah.

I've got a chance to help my dad and the
family.

I'll be seriously rich one day.

What's your old man like? Have you got
on with him?

I'm going to make sure I do.

I mean, it's not like he's going to be
my dad anyway.

I'm not like a business partner.

So, I suppose we're going to need to
find a new football captain, eh? Ah,

I'm sorry about that.

That's all right.

Well, hey, at least you're retiring with
a 100 % winning record. Not bad for

some, is it?

You should be captain.

Should have been you all along. I mean,
you're his best player, except maybe

Casey.

Yeah, I appreciate it. The way you
handed over that armband like that.

No problem.

Maybe I'll come up and watch a game or
something.

Yeah.

Yeah, you should.

Good luck, yeah?

Thanks, man.

Take it easy, yeah?

I was thinking of calling an assembly in
the morning.

Clarify my position, put an end to all
the gossip.

Use your position to justify yourself,
you mean?

I'm only saying how others might see it.

Point taken.

I wanted to come into the pub, but not
to celebrate, more to recall her.

No, you're okay.

Thanks.

Am I interrupting?

No, no, I was just going through a few
lesson plans.

I feel like going for a walk.

Is he coming with me?

Here we are.

Home at last.

Oh, before I forget.

Thanks. Officially moved in.

Oh, er, what do you fancy?

Er, let's have a look.

Got Chinese or Indian pizza?

Mongolian?

Sudanese?

Bulgarian? There's no need.

I'm fine.

I had a big lunch.

Right.

Whatever you want.

Oh, and remember...

You don't have to ask for anything here.
You just make yourself at home.

Anything you'd like at home.

Look at that, eh?

Tookie.

I'm being a bit OTT, aren't I? A bit?

I appreciate it. Don't get me wrong.

It's just... You're finally here.

I've looked forward to it for so long.

Yeah, me too.

Just a bit full on.

Maybe we could just chill for a bit. You
know, pretend like I'm here for a few

days. Like it's no big deal.

It's always a bit weird moving into a
new house.

God, no problem.

No, um, what are you doing?

Well, I was just going to take you to
your room. No, uh, don't.

It's my stuff.

And my room.

Right. Okay.

Understood.

I'll put the kettle on.

I could go for some beans on toast.

If you've got any.

I kind

of believe that we're losing you. You're
not. I'll be back.

Playing in my little helicopter.

Oh, hey, it's me.

Come here, you.

I'd just like to thank you for
everything you've done for him.

If you take advantage of him, I'll find
you.

Don't be a stranger, will you?

I'll work hard, you.

Yeah? And we'll just kick the place
ticking over till you arrive, Mr CEO.

Right, I'll put these bags in the boot.

It'll be okay, bro.

I'll keep an eye on him until you get
there.

You're not going to tell me to work hard
as well, are you?

No. No, you will anyway.

Thanks for letting me keep that lot.

Oh, and thanks for the offer this
afternoon.

What offer?

Wasn't an offer.

Helpful advice.

It's academic now.

Dad's waiting.

But owning two racehorses.

Sounds pretty cool to me.

You leave me utterly speechless
sometimes, Grantley Budgeon.

I wish.

Hey, cool little man. Hey, little
little. I could be your boss one day.

You ready?

As far as some people are concerned, I'm
guilty of murder and always will be.

He knew they could never make a case.

That speaks for itself.

Yeah, but it's my chance to clear my
name.

It might yet affect the school.

The school wouldn't even be there if it
wasn't for you, Michael.

Well, you and Lorraine's millions.

No, Waterloo Road will show its worth,
and the pupils, it turns out.

That's all that matters.

And if you want to talk about what it's
like to have people think badly of you,

I'm your woman.

You're taking the opportunity to put it
right.

Well, I'm giving it a go.

Audrey suggested I draw up a list of
names to apologise to.

What, does she think you're American or
what?

You don't have that chance, do you?

To close it out.

What's this?

Two, three, four. Three.

Four? Four.

Okay, three.

I understand.

I don't know.

You know, one of the things I've learnt
in my recovery is it's so important to

confront your emotions.

It sounds heavy, but it's true.

So don't be afraid to cry.

I'm not crying.

It's the salt in the sea here. I've
always had a reaction.

Are you disappointed?

No. Yeah, yeah, you're disappointed. No,
no. And what do you think I am,

American?

Well,

salt, spray, tears, whatever, Alan.

I've got some tissues in here somewhere.

Whoa, what are they?

My weapon plans. How good's your memory?
Rubbish.

Aren't you going to miss him?

You two have never been apart.

It won't be for long. I'll see him at
holidays.

Aren't you going to spend any money?

I've got dinner, aren't I?

Very generous.

I'm going to put the money in the
company.

Might be proper millionaires one day.

What, you're not going to have a mad
party?

No, dear, you're not.

Might get a bike, fit out a couple of
other things.

So, have I ever told you how fit you are
for a younger lad?

So, tell me, if you won the lottery,
what would you buy me?

A villa in Spain?

A Rolls Royce?

Oh, don't say underwear, please.

Hey, wind your neck in, you.

Actually... It's not in my mind.

Ew, that's hanging.

Time for bed, kids.

Are you going in? No, you can't. No, I'm
going in.

How can I call myself a super hero but
don't even try?

If the lesson plans are gone, then what
else is there?

Come on, let's go over there.

We've got 12 to go.

It's freezing.

It's so cold.

Except a little fit.

But they call me twist. Trying to talk
to me coy coy.

Where is it?

Harley!

It's what I've got left from this
morning.

But I can get more tomorrow.

A lot more.

I don't understand.

I know I can't do anything to bring your
dad back here.

But maybe that can help him out there.

Could be good money.

You're so kind.

Nah, just a bit rich.

My father doesn't need it.

But we can send it to my old school and
they can use it to help other families.

Cool. I mean, that's better than getting
a bike.

Almost.

I'm practising my routine.

You're going to be a pole dancer?

Wow.

Classy. Do you know how much money she
can earn dancing?

That's what you should be encouraging.

A natural talent.

Not keeping her banging away doing
something she's never going to be any

at.

Hello.

Do you want to come with me?

Well, it depends if you want to take me.

Should we do a runner?

they suspect foul play. The new series

Silent Witness is next.
