All language subtitles for Waterloo Road s08e15

Get yourself to the PRU, now.

Provide and conquer?

Yeah, maybe.

I just want to know you'll enter on
behalf of the school.

I haven't got the time.

Oh no, you need to get out, come on!

It was all my fault, Michael.

It was all my fault.

Don't worry about competition.

I think you'll be good for the school.
We're not doing it. We haven't got the

time or the resources.

Is that clear?

Yes, Mr Choksa. This is about Christine.

What about her? She brought alcohol into
school and she drank it. And oh, did

she drink it.

It's going to work.

You're going to have to show me a little
bit more respect.

Mum didn't start the fire.

I did. I'm sorry.

Sorry!

Sorry!

Hasn't been plain sailing.

I mean, being a parent never is.

It's not like there's a rule book.

I wish there was a rule book.

Two, three.

We're on a tight ship here.

Yeah, heaven loves him.

Of course he does.

Get in.

We're nearly done yet, only we... The
social workers are coming

tonight.

So there's a lot riding on this meeting,
you know.

Like whether you get to stay here
permanently or not.

Like I'd forget.

Have you seen my laptop anywhere?

No. Hey, pack it in.

Look, I know this meeting might be a bit
nerve -wracking. I'm the social worker.

What is wrong with you today?

You, coming in here throwing your weight
about.

There's a lot to throw about, isn't
there? Don't speak to me like that. Why

You're useless.

Stop it. That is enough.

What are you going to do? Hit me?

I would never hit you.

Yeah, that's what they all say.

What are you doing here? I can't really
read even through your face after what

you told me.

I told you the truth, didn't I?

And that makes everything okay?

Not good enough, Connor?

You can't just sweep this under the
carpet like it never happened. But

not what I'm trying to do.

Then do the decent thing.

Tell Bun.

I can't do that. What about Mum? I don't
give a stuff about your Mum.

And if you really cared about me, if you
really gave a damn... But I do.

Then fess up.

To everyone.

There's no point just admitting it to
me, is there?

If you haven't got the guts to do it,
then leave it with me.

I'll do it.

Get down!

Is there any meat?

There's everything.

There's no justice in this world.

All right, rest.

What are you trying to do? Kill us? A
healthy mind is a happy mind.

Not even stabbed a box, is it? It's not.
I thought you didn't have it in for me

anymore. I don't. Then why?

Can a birdie breathe?

Oh, you're practically slobbering.
That's gross.

You've got to get yourself ripped, my
friend.

You've just got to push through the pain
barriers. Isn't that right, Miss?

That's right.

I'll remind you of that when that
sprog's right here, Pop.

Harry, can I have a word? Take two
minutes.

I'm impressed.

You smashed it.

A body like this comes from blood, sweat
and tears, Miss.

Know what I mean?

Well, maybe you could channel some of
that energy into helping me out.

Why not?

I could knock you into shape, no
problem.

Not me. Thank you, then.

Look, I could really use someone like
you to run some of these sessions.

Oh, you're joking, right?

What makes you think that I'd want to
help you lot out?

Status.

Power.

What do you think?

I think you're losing it.

I think it'd do you good.

Can't handle the responsibility.

Go on, then.

I'll give it a shot.

No time like the present.

Go on, then. Off you go.

Right. Come on, you horrible lot.

On the floor. Pass up.

Kevin, I'm glad you made it in. I was
worried for a sec. Listen, we need to

talk.

Going well, then, I see.

Oh, yeah.

It's fine.

Fine and dandy.

Oh, who am I kidding?

I've had words.

Oh, is that all? For a minute there, I
thought something terrible had happened.

It has?

Oh, what a disaster.

Oh, come on, Daniel. That was none of
that self -pitying nonsense.

I mean, no -one ever said working would
be easy, but I wasn't working all day.

And it's because I'm trying to adjust.

Oh, it must be hard for him.

I want to put his faith in someone like
me.

I just... I don't think I'm cut out for
it.

Daniel, of course you are.

How many times do you need telling?

The social work that's coming tonight to
assess us.

If it goes well, Kevin's with me for
good.

Oh, that's great, isn't it?

No, because then I'll make a mess of it.

If they don't come to try and catch you
out for a start, I mean, even if they

did, what fault could they find with
you?

Kevin's not exactly Mr Jolly Chops.
What, and you think that reflects on

He's a teenager, for heaven's sake.

I just want to be a good dad.

And you will be.

Lorraine wants to see everyone in the
staff room straight away.

You in particular, apparently.

Me? Why?

I don't know. It sounds important,
though.

Congratulations. We are pleased to
announce that Napoleon, the Waterloo

Napoleon? ...is the winner of this
year's British Youth Science and Design

Award.

Napoleon,

good Waterloo reference.

Why didn't you tell us you'd entered?

I had no idea. You came to your senses,
you mean. I knew you would, and well

done to Year 12.

No, that's not what I was trying to say.
I just...

The thing is, year 12, we're just trying
to play it down, you know.

And Napoleon's locked away safe and
sound.

Well, we are all looking forward to
meeting him at two o 'clock this

Two? Yep, that's when they're sending
down rugby player Austin Healy, part of

their Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds
initiative.

He's going to present the award and have
a photo with the winning entry.

OMG, I love him.

Oh, them muscles.

He could skip the light fandango with me
any day. Give me strength.

Maybe I could bake him something. Now,
Daniel... We need to make this work for

us, OK?

Maximise the exposure. I'm really not
sure it's a good idea. Don't be daft.

great publicity for the school. You
should be proud.

Yeah. Well done.

Hi.

You OK?

Hi, Tom.

Nicky seemed to have Barry eating out
the palm of her hand this morning.

Excellent work.

What about Casey?

Has she unleashed any of her creativity
yet?

Depends how you look at it.

After a lot of arm -twisting, I managed
to get her to agree to write a story

about dreams and ambitions.

Great. I think having her in the
mainstream for a while will really help

focus on her future. It seems to mainly
involve scoring endless last -minute

winners for her little big race. Well,
look, it's a start. And then if she's

with Maggie again today, so all in all,
good work. I'm impressed.

And keep them in the dark.

Yeah, I think so.

Barry is such a strong influence on his
sisters, it's best not to ruffle his

feathers. At least not before we monitor
their progress.

Understood.

Speaking of keeping people in line...
What about Christine? She was drunk in

school, Michael. We have to address
that.

Well, there are some things that you
don't know, Sharon.

Aren't there always?

It's not what it looks like.

Christine and I are no longer involved.

Excuse me.

Nothing, just leave me, I'm fine. Well,
you're clearly not.

I just need to deal with him.

Deal with what?

I told her.

I told her the truth, that it was me
that started the fire.

Oh, God, please tell me you didn't. I'm
sorry, but she thinks I could come clean

and so do I.

If you tell Mr Byrne, you'll be excluded
and I'll get fat. Not to mention the

criminal record you'll end up with. Is
that what you want? I need to do this. I

won't let you.

You could go to prison and I lied to the
police. Have you forgotten all about

that?

I'm sorry.

But I don't want something eating away
at me for the rest of my life.

OK, right, OK, I get that. But, um...
This needs handling properly. At least

me think it through before we do
anything, OK?

OK?

Imogen, Imogen, I just want to say that
we're going to deal with this, OK? But

just let us do it our way. All right, I
get it.

Keep my trap shut so I don't give you up
to Bernie. What do you take me for? You

really want me to answer that?

I'm in. It looks like there'll be six
feet under.

OK, everyone, can you get your
worksheets out from last week, please?

carry on from where we left off.

Can I have a word outside, please,
Kevin?

It's about the robot competition.

Son. Spill it. It's a competition.

Look, before that, I just want to
apologise for that frack out this

We can put that all behind us, can't we?

Just in time for your poxy meeting, you
mean.

There's robot competition.

What were you thinking of?

Go on behind my back.

I knew if I told you about it, you'd
have another strop, so I built it and

applied online. In whose name, eh?

Mine and your 12's? That's dishonest.
See, if that's what you've got to say

about it, forget it.

Thing is, you won.

Did you?

Nice! See, I told you.

Science is the way forward. Yeah, and
the way to me getting my P45.

What, you should be pleased? We won.
Lorraine will have my guts for God.

She's got this sportsman off the telly
coming to see it and give us a prize

today.

Fat chance.

They better be called a goon or the...
Sorry, no can do.

You've got to be happy this afternoon.
That should put a smile on your face.

Not in time.

Uh, aye, aye, aye. Hang on a sec,
marathon man.

Where do you think you're going?

Break time, wife.

Uh, and what about our little
arrangement?

It's not just about morning exercise.

In the light of this afternoon's visit,
the classrooms need checking to see that

they're all in order. You know, the
rubbish needs moving. I don't give a

who's coming. There's no way I'm doing
that.

I didn't ask you to.

I thought we agreed that your strengths
lie in leadership.

Delegations.

Right, get the draughts sorted out. I'm
with you.

Yeah, I wouldn't put it quite like that.
Oi, don't look. Get back here.

What now?

Sergeant Major Ironick is up to
something.

And you two are going to help me find
out what... Goal!

The crowd screech!

It's S -K -R.

It's S -K -R.

Another goal.

What's the score now?

6 -4.

I see your main character is a boy named
Casey.

And? Just interested in that you've
written it from a male perspective,

all. Can I have her back now?

I've got to do the ending.

Can I help you?

We need to make a good impression on Mr
Austin Healy.

We got any rubbish? Oh, more than you
can imagine. Help yourselves.

What do you want?

Security check.

He's working for dogs.

Oi! Were you calling a dog?

You all right, Case?

Yep. I'm going to be the next Charles
Dickinson.

Dickins? As in what, then? One -to -one
personal tuition.

For Case.

Since when did that happen?

She volunteered, if you must know. Or
did she now?

With Dynasty.

Your guest mate. I was talking to him.

Thank you for your help with Miss Barry
out there.

Don't mention it.

Don't expect any miracles either. No,
no, you're welcome. The kids in the

schoolhouse are excellent.

They've got pastoral care more
sensitive.

Honestly, that family needs all the help
they can get. You're doing the girl a

favour. Thank you. OK.

Dare I ask?

Chocolate brownies. I've been reading.

They're Austin's favourite.

I'm going to whisk him away.

I think you've had a little bit too much
chocolate, young lady. No way.

These babies are better than oysters.

Aphrodisiac. I'm going to give him
something to remember me by.

What, like food poisoning?

Oh. Now, keep your hair on.

It's fine.

These are just a little something.

To make our celebrity visitor feel
welcome.

Don't you think Maggie's more than
capable of handling that by herself?

Particularly as she now has her break
-time assistant.

But... But nothing. I need you to do
your job. I need those truancy reports

last week. Off you go.

Go on.

I've devoured.

What is it with young girls and
chocolate?

I'll leave you to it.

This thing tonight, do we have to do it?

Of course we do.

If it goes well, it makes our
relationship official.

Great. It is.

We'll be a family.

Don't get your hopes up about it.

These things always go wrong for me.

It is what you want, isn't it?

I'm not really the family type.

Who cares, anyway?

I do.

We worked so hard to get this far.

I think we've made a connection.

Leave it out.

You know I really care about you, don't
you, Kevin?

Steady on, Naz. It's real creepy.

I'm trying to get this thick. It's all
right. Of course.

I just need the circuit readings now.

I've been having a bit of trouble with
them.

Where do we get them, then?

That's mine.

That's good. What can I say?

You shouldn't be messing with my stuff.

Why?

What's on it?

It's private.

I need it.

Huff, give it here.

What's your problem?

I need the reading to finish the robot.
Kevin, it's got personal stuff on it.

Fine, no problem.

Just tell her to forget about the prize
giving.

Yeah, by the gate.

All right, bye.

Come on, then. Where's his wonder of
modern science?

Well, he's actually not quite... Ready
yet.

It will be, just maybe a few last
-minute, you know, adjustments, a bit of

and polish here and there. Good, because
I'm counting on you.

We've worked hard to get the Youth
Science Foundation to sit up and take

of us. Absolutely. We've even got a
representative from the local computer

coming down specially.

We might even get a new IT lab if we're
lucky.

Really? Yeah.

You know, you're a dark horse.

Am I? Yeah, I'm impressed.

You clearly have an affinity with the
kids.

I wouldn't go that far. I would.

Wish they were more like you.

No way.

Come on. What are you doing?

Who's Gareth Dinsdale?

What's on the encrypted files?

I trusted you.

Don't talk to me about Charlie.

I know all there is to know about
Charlie.

Or lack of it.

You shouldn't have been rooting around.

You forgot you ever saw that.

Why? What's going on? Nothing.

You can't just ignore me.

I have a right to know who fostered me.

Tell me what's on those files.

Criminal record.

Pervy past. Is that what it is?

Dodgy photos!

You never put passwords on anything.

You've got it all wrong.

Well, maybe Mr Byrne can help me figure
it out. But don't. So it is something

dodgy, then.

Stop it. Stop it!

You talk to me about family, but do you
have any idea how hard it is to live

with strangers again and again?

And there you are with your dirty little
secrets.

Well, I'm not spending any more time
with you. You can't leave.

Where will you go?

Far away from you and your gobby little
lies as I can get. I don't give a damn!

Kevin.

Kevin! They just saw your back. It's a
care.

No change there, then.

Good old Kevin's going. The boy nobody
wants. That's not true. I want you.

you dare say that. Are you two okay?

Ask him.

Just a domestic, you know, teething
problems.

A bit more than that, I'd say. Look, no
offence, Thomas. None of your business.

So, with respect, if it affects Kevin in
school, then it is. All right.

It's just a competition, all right? The
robot's not ready in time and he's

stressed, all right? Well, he's not the
only one, by the looks of things. He's a

pet project of his.

He needs to be ready for this
presentation.

Look, Torquay, look, just calm down.

Slow down.

Year 12's have got a study class next.
Why don't you take him instead?

Get him all to muck in.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right, Tom.

Best get cracking, hey?

You did really well today.

Really? Do you think?

Yeah, well, apart from maybe, uh,
grilling the fairy cakes, but, uh, easy

mistake to make.

Where have you been?

Swimming. Mrs.

Budgen's been teaching me how to cook.

So you're doing that?

Casey's having writing lessons, and I'm
in charge of the doughnut division.

They must think we're divs.

Amy, people are beginning to believe us
for a change.

Oh, do one, will you?

They've been playing us, trying to tear
us apart, and you know what?

I'm not having it.

Truancy report.

Good.

Now you can do my correspondence.

And you've got a visitor.

You OK?

Michael, you have to understand that
Connor is all I have, and he's a good

He really is.

Right. I get that.

He and I, we've...

Had such tough times together, and for
someone who's had such a crazy

with someone like me, it's no wonder he
has issues. But you know his problems

are all my fault, don't you? Okay.

What is this all about?

You and I are close, right?

Where?

Look, has this got something to do with
him finding out about the past?

I'm sorry, Christine, I didn't mean
to... Connor doesn't know anything about

what happened to me.

Well, whatever it is, you can tell me.

You know that I'll do everything I can
to help you.

You've already done so much for us.

You must be getting enough grief, is it?

Maybe.

I think it's time you stood on your own
two feet.

Sorry, Michael.

Stop him back. What are you doing? I
told you to leave it to me.

No, I can't. I need to do this. Can
somebody please tell me what's going on?

Nothing, honestly.

Yes, it is. Connor, leave it. This is a
bad idea.

No, Mum, we agreed.

Oh, please. No, Mum, don't do that.

I'm the arsonist.

Mum lied to cover up for me.

I started the fire and I burnt Imogen.

It was me. It was my fault.

I'm to blame.

You've still got time to get the robot
sorted if you pull your finger out.

Couldn't give a stuff about that robot.

Is that what he said this was about?

Isn't it?

No, actually, it's not.

It's not like him to lie, isn't it?

Yeah, it is, as a matter of fact.

Come in, then.

OK. Do you want to tell me what's going
on? Because at the moment I haven't the

foggiest.

Chalky's not chalky.

He's fake.

He's someone else.

It's true. On his laptop, there's forms,
photos, everything.

I saw it. Saw what?

His real name is Gareth Dinsdale.

There's a photo of him. All official.
And a change of name form.

What are you trying to do here, Kevin?
Are you out to cause trouble?

That's the last thing I want.

I like the bloke.

Or at least I thought I did.

I mean, he's a div.

But I thought, finally, I've found
someone who's OK. Yeah, you have. He's a

bloke. That's what he wants you to
think, but he's been feeding me these

about how everything's going to be
different and we're going to build a

together, and it's all rubbish!

Well, I'm sure it isn't.

So why's he got those locked files on
his computer?

I don't know.

He's obviously hiding something dodgy.
Look, let's not jump to conclusions.

Why else would he have those files and
lie about who he is? I am sure there is

perfectly reasonable explanation.

So why'd he go ballistic at me?

Brick in it, he was! All right, look...
Let's just calm down, right?

Now, I will go and have a word with Mr
Chalk. You let me handle this.

I know, I'm right. Look, you let me
handle it, yes?

Things built up.

I got tense and felt trapped.

And you thought fire starting would make
you feel better?

I didn't think at all.

I'm all at first, but I never meant for
anyone to get hurt.

But they did.

They did.

And I'm going to have to live with that.

I can't just brush it under the carpet
and pretend like it never happened.

And that's why I'm here.

He needs help.

Michael, not a criminal record.

No offence, Christine, but you're not in
a position to tell me anything. You

could have talked to me. I'm Ed, what?

My son's a pyromaniac that doesn't know
how to handle his mother being an alky.

Did you have any idea how many times he
had covered for me?

Picked me up, poured me into bed, hauled
me out again, got me to work.

Michael, I am begging you, please,
please don't do this.

Sorry, Connor, but I can't let you go
back to class. Can't we just keep this

between us? No, we can't.

I'll ask Sonia to take you to the cooler
where you can be supported. But it was

an accident!

Dean.

Enough.

How's Barry responding to the new
direction?

Good, thanks.

Right, you need to keep tabs on them the
whole time. Yeah, I know. When they're

necessarily distracting one another,
they're more focused on their learning.

Uh -huh.

Barry, where have you been?

When a man's got to go, a man's got to
go.

So where do you want us now, miss?

Follow me, come on.

Come on, miss, it's going to be fun,
come on.

Come on, anyone in the corner?

Now, ladies and gentlemen, this is
Napoleon.

What's it got to do with us? Well, you
lot entered a national robot competition

and you won.

No, we never. We've never seen it
before.

Don't know nothing about a competition.

Yeah, there is that.

But now's your chance. Because Napoleon
here needs to be all singing and all

dancing and quickly.

Yeah, good luck with that.

No, no, I'm serious.

Look, look, listen.

If you pull this off, you'll be heroes.

And if we don't, we're not taking flat
for that going belly up, you know? Well,

you won't have to.

And there'll be extra marks for all your
coursework.

Very big.

Please bring Jack a gelt when you need
him.

I think he'll be a very big fool of
mine.

A word, please, Mr Choke?

A bit busy, Blackman. Now!

Thank you, thank you.

I'm not joking. Forget it.

What altercation with Kevin wasn't about
the robot competition, was it?

It's private.

Like whatever's on your laptop?

Whatever's on my computer is of no
interest to anyone else.

But it is of interest to Gareth
Dinsdale, is it?

Come on, mate.

Look, help me out here.

I'm just trying to make sense of this.

Kevin told me what he saw.

Information indicating that you aren't
who you say you are. Why are you

listening to Kevin all of a sudden?
Because we have to look into a pupil's

accusations against the team. I've been
accused, though, haven't I? I'm just

following due process.

Look, he's a young man with a lot to
deal with. He has no idea what he saw.

Just calm down. I will not calm down.

I know what he's told you.

I'm some kind of pervert, eh?

A filthy paedophile.

Well, he's got it all wrong, hasn't he?

Come on, mate, just meet me in the
middle. No, I don't have to.

Yes, you do. Look, you're a teacher.
You're working with children. You can't

have secrets.

If you're not willing to cooperate...
Cooperate?

What am I? Some kind of criminal?

I don't have to answer to you, Tom. Then
maybe you will to Michael.

OK.

Lunchtime duties.

Listen up.

I've had enough of this. We all have,
Captain Evil.

Well, I don't know, I'm quite enjoying
it.

Good, because we're going to move things
up a gear.

You'll like this job.

No, I'm not liking it so far.

Me neither.

What's the problem?

Just a simple drop, that's all I'm
after.

You fancy it?

Wasn't it for me?

Whatever you want.

Listen, I do not want Conor's confession
to affect this afternoon's visit.

Well, we have to contact the police. It
can wait.

I don't want the squad car turning up in
the middle of the presentation.

Lorraine, I understand that. Presumably,
there's going to be a full

investigation. I'm assuming Conor was
responsible for the other five, too.

Well, what about Christine?

I mean, the police are going to want to
question her. Great.

Perhaps we can have a field day with
that. Which is exactly why we have to

action with Conor now.

You can burn him at the stake for all I
care. Lorraine, I don't think that's

going to help.

Michael.

It's chalky. We've got a problem. We're
a bit busy just now, can it wait? No, it

can't. Great.

This thing just gets better.

I want you satisfied.

I don't want to hear it.

Just stay away from my son.

Kevin's made some serious accusations.

Why would he do that?

Because he's confused.

Worried about his future.

There's no truth to what he heard?

No. No truth at all.

So what's all this business about you
now?

That bit is true.

My name's not Daniel Chalk.

My real name is Gareth Dinsdale.

That's it. That's all.

Is there a reason that you couldn't tell
us about that?

Because we have a CV for Daniel Chalk.
We pay a salary to Daniel Chalk. You can

see where we're coming from.

Why would you pretend to be someone
else?

I don't want to say.

You're just going to have to trust me.

We do.

Or we'd like to.

Explain to us what's on your computer.

My word not enough.

I have to prove myself.

I'm sorry, but I think you do.

Are you all having a go at me?

Are you all so squeaky clean?

Even nothing in your life you'd rather
keep private. Of course.

Well, I'd like to keep this private
then, thank you.

You have no idea.

Then just explain it to us.

I can't.

And I won't.

Can we take this to my office, please?

I'm here about Daniel Chalk.

Sorry? You're representing a Daniel
Chalk, aren't you?

I don't know what you're talking about.
Gareth Dinsdale, as he used to be known.

Why? Who are you?

Gareth Dinsdale is my foster parent and
I want to know what he's done.

What's going on and why you're defending
him. I'm not.

I'm trying to protect him.

Yeah, right.

We're in the process of trying to build
a case.

And we'd very much like to speak to Mr
Dinsdale, or Mr Chalk, as he is now,

about this.

Talk about what?

I can only tell you what's already in
the public domain.

I'm representing individuals in a case
of child abuse at the care home where Mr

Chalk was brought up.

It was a very difficult time for them
all.

Even for Chalky?

Yes, very much so.

This is going to be my finest hour.

Agustin Hayley, feasting upon the fruits
of my labour. I'm well happy for you.

I've got a delivery from your brother.

If anyone asks, I don't know what you're
talking about.

Better be quick. She's going to put them
in the oven, anything.

You've had to create a distraction,
then.

Trying to keep Sonia's face more than
three inches from the bill is

Oh, my God.

Sonia, Sonia.

Your book's gone off. What? I'm just
about to put these in.

Not when you're dealing with divorce.

No, no, no. This can't be happening.

Who did that?

Mrs. Budger must have knocked it off.

It won't on the way.

Back in the mail.

Hello, Kate.

Hi.

Mrs. Budgeon told me that me cupcakes
were as light as the feather. They

couldn't take on all the elephants that
are a hundred yards.

It's all a con.

It is, isn't it?

Good news is, we've got a plan.

Right, there's the chalk.

Can't you see it's finished?

Robot.

I respect your right to primity.

What? But I'd be failing as head of this
school if I didn't inform social

services. I realise what it looks like.
All I've done is change my name. People

do that every day. Yes, but we need
transparency.

I mean, why wasn't this in your file?
Why didn't you just tell the school when

you first applied for the job?

Because it's nobody else's business.

I'm a damn good teacher. Daniel, no
-one's disputing that, right?

Well, I want to jeopardise my career.

It's all I know.

If you think that you need some time
off, then that's all right by us. Wait,

spending me?

You want me to resign?

I've done nothing wrong here.

I'm not going anywhere.

A moment on the list, a lifetime on
those... Well, maybe I'll...

Ah, ah, ah!

Hey, have you been screwed up? Why,
what's happened? I got it wrong. I got

wrong. All right, Kevin, just slow down.
I've been so scared, worried that it

wouldn't work out for me. And now I've
ruined everything with Chalky. I pushed

him away.

You don't want to get hurt, that's
understandable.

No, see, I panicked.

I got it wrong. He's not Dodge. He's
certainly not Dodge.

I want to make it right again.

Please, sir.

Please, will you help me?

Hi. Hiya. Lorraine Donegan.

Pleasure to meet you. Welcome to Morley
Road.

It's a pleasure to be here. I'm looking
forward to it.

What are you doing down there?

Is it Amanda Wright?

Oh, the Adler's gone.

Never mind about that, mate. Come on,
get a move on. Away!

So, this is where we're going to do the
presentation this afternoon.

All right.

Napoleon, it's a good name, isn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, the name's great.

And we're hoping to use our success as a
platform for sponsorship as well. Miss

Donegan, look, this is my method.

I should be the one to explain it.

Daniel Chalk. Hi, Austin Healy.

Sorry, there's been a problem with the
robot.

Really? Yes, he's a thing, isn't he?

Napoleon,

find Chalky.

He's fantastic.

He is, isn't he?

I don't understand.

What happened?

It was Kevin's idea.

It came good.

Why would he do that?

He screwed up.

This is his way of saying sorry.

He got you wrong.

We all did.

What on earth are you doing?

What if they don't like me?

You've done a great job.

How did you manage it?

Teamwork. Yes.

Teamwork.

Are you going to exclude Connor?

It does seem that way, yes. I made him
do this.

I told him to own up. Are you all right
to do that?

I don't want his life to be ruined.

Imogen, you're young.

OK?

And you were involved with Connor. That
complicates matters.

Where? And please don't patronise me.

I hate what he did, and I always will.

And he has to live with that.

Don't see how excluding him will help,
no matter how easy that would be.

And if I don't, what right has the
school?

What are they all doing together?

Sian, it's a public gathering.

Besides, we're here. What harm can it
do?

Oh, I've made you some cake.

Have a brownie.

There's something wrong with Sian.

Oh, she's behaving all... I'll make
these for me own fair hand.

I don't think she's the only one. She
must be in a hurry.

This is my big sister.

She thinks that you're... She don't take
criticism very well. She's always liked

to be the centre of attention.

But he's looking at me. I can't think
why.

Get out.

They're stoned.

Get those cakes out of here.

Ah, I'm going to go and speak to
Michael.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks very much. Really appreciate it.
Cheers.

Be in touch.

Can I just offer you my most sincere
apologies once again?

Well?

Both sponsors pulled out.

What about the TV crew?

I thought there was a bug going round.

I lied on camera.

I want to know who's behind this.

Yeah, I'm on to it.

I'll be informing the police about your
confession.

You could be charged with arson. That's
a custodial sentence. You know what that

means.

Connor, the general feeling is that you
should be excluded.

But your mother thinks you should be
allowed to stay.

So does Imogen.

I just want another chance. And I know I
don't deserve it, and I know what I did

was wrong, but I'll...

I'll do whatever it takes. Well, that's
not really the point, but I've decided

it's not me that you have to convince,
it's your peers.

Now, I believe in the right to a second
chance, and I understand that you need

to take control of situations.

What I'd like you to do is try and take
control of this situation.

I want you to talk to the entire school
today.

You make a public apology.

Try to convince them that you deserve to
stay.

Then we'll see.

All right?

Thanks. You didn't have to do that for
me.

Yeah, I did.

I so did.

I don't understand. What changed your
mind?

I... I went to see that solicitor.

The one that's been writing to you about
your court case.

I got it wrong.

And I'm so sorry.

Did, um... Did he tell you why he'd been
writing to me?

He said you were in care.

And something happened.

We go home.

Six months away, beginning in R and
ending in T.

Rabbit.

Results. A fair play to you.

So does that mean I get my prize?

Oh, come on, you said.

Me and you, then.

How about it?

Oh, I feel sick.

No wonder snogging him.

I think I'm going to be sick.

Get her out of here. And the rest of
you, go.

You stay where you are. This is your
fault.

We can't keep an eye on them every
second of the day despite your

know.

Do you care to own up?

So I kissed her. And what? The marijuana
in the chocolate brownies.

I'm sorry. I got the impression that
Miss Donegan's sister made them.

I presume she'll be sacked, yeah? You
and I both know that you had something

do with this.

What was the big idea? Try and make a
fool of the school in front of TV

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

I've been nowhere near the kitchens.

And you know that because your lot have
had me under surveillance.

All of us, Barry, in fact.

So it can't have been us, can it?

You heard someone do your dirty work for
you.

This is not the end of this, Barry.

There will be a full investigation, and
if I find out that you were involved,

you will be facing expulsion.

I won't hold my breath.

Me.

Jen, put that phone away, please. You
shouldn't have it during school hours.

Thank you.

I hope you know what you're doing with
this.

Because what do I?

The Barrys? They've got a watertight
alibi, but I will be keeping a very

eye. OK, thank you.

Hi.

Hasn't he had enough humiliation for one
day? Christine, I'm just trying to find

a way that he can stay here.

You know that he should be excluded.

It was Imogen that changed my mind.

Well, I can't stay here and watch my son
be crucified, Michael.

I'll give that a miss if you don't mind.

The fire that broke

out last term.

That damaged the school.

That scarred Imogen Stewart.

It was started by me.

The police are involved and I'm not sure
what's going to happen.

But you need to know that what I did was
wrong.

And I'm going to regret it for the rest
of my life.

There's that old saying, I think, that
goes, you only hurt the things and the

people that are closest to you, that you
love.

And that's what I did.

And I'm going to have to live with that,
not just today, but every day.

I need to go.

I meant every word.

I know you did.

So what now?

Connor, if it were up to me, you could
stay at Waterloo Road. Thank you.

But you do know that might not be my
decision, okay?

Thanks.

For?

For giving me hope for us.

For the future.

I'm proud of what you did, but there is
no us.

The scars on my face might heal, but not
on my heart.

Sorry.

The others want to nail this bloke too,
right?

I don't want anything to do with it.

It's all in the past.

That's why I changed my name.

All that stuff that happened to Gareth
Binsdale, not me.

At least, that's what I thought.

Because it stays with you?

When the day goes by, I don't think
about it.

Sometimes if there's a knock at the door
or the phone rings...

I think it might be him.

Maybe confronting it might help you move
on.

I can't go back there, Kevin.

I don't want to.

So when the solicitor said what happened
to you was difficult, what happened?

What he did to me.

Cigarette burns.

Belt.

The shoulders.

Legs.

The back.

Anywhere it couldn't easily be seen.

Wasn't the only one.

You have to do something.

Stand up with your old mates.

They need to do this.

So do you.

Otherwise, he wins.

My fault.

Who stopped him?

It was the oldie, the bigot that should
have been the drunkard.

It wasn't your fault.

Shame. And he's still beating you.

And that's why you need to do something.

I'm not strong enough.

I couldn't even tell you.

How am I supposed to stand up in a court
in front of the rest of the world?

How am I supposed to do that?

I'll tell you how.

With me.

By your side.

That's how.

That robot, that was...

It's just the beginning.

You and me, mate.

We can do anything.

I'm sorry.

I can't.

Yeah.

You can.

Yeah, I didn't get Napoleon to do some
of the cleaning.

You know this morning, when you lost it,

when you shouted at me?

Sorry about that, but that won't happen
again. No, no, no, it was right. It was

good.

I don't know who that was.

You,

Gareth. I don't care.

But whoever it was, He stood up for
himself.

And that's what you have to do.

I don't want to.

I know, I know.

But if you contact that solicitor, I'll
unpack my stuff.

And the social worker will definitely
think we're covering something up.

Don't be so soft.

And I also... I want to ask them if
they'll let me change my name.

What do you want to go and do a thing
like that for?

For the future.

Kevin Chalk.

What do you reckon?

This solicitor, what's he like?

I reckon we could knock him into shape.

So is that a yes?

You're going to help the others now,
this bloke?

If you watch me.

Bolton Smart.

In the flesh with the beat.

Doesn't get it.

Maybe we should spell it out for him. No
one wants you, do you?

He's pretty good.

Very good, actually.

We have the best time.

You do it, mate. You do it. It is my
great pleasure to introduce a former

of ours who's very kindly agreed to come
and share some of his experiences with

us. How's my Frenchie? Over there.

I'm the best person.

Where's my backpack?

Do you want to jump?

Nobody messes with my family.

Think I might be in a bit of trouble.
