All language subtitles for Waterloo Road s09e20

Would you mind if we postponed your
presentation?

Casey is back from the States.

Is that Gabriella? No, it's a sister,
Florence. A traffic accident.

She was killed instantly.

She's not worth it, Nick. She'll only
hurt you again.

To the

new acting head of Waterloo Row!

No, no, this would have been a pair. A
pair, isn't it?

The only nice thing with it, actually,
is it's got a Chester hallmark.

Oh, right, okay.

Chester's a pretty unusual hallmark.

Mum!

Why?

Mum!

Yes,

that's right.

Mum!

Mum!

Mom!

Mom!

Take the chain off the door.

Um, is that... Yeah, our temporary
leader.

Hey, guys, what do you think? He's like
Spider -Man, isn't he?

Shut it down!

No long, 3 .30.

The sooner we're on that cruise ship and
away from Loseley, the better.

Mediterranean, here we come.

Congratulations on reaching the end of
term and making resilience education...

Such a success.

The wall is a thank you from me to you
for all your hard work and to celebrate

everyone's achievements.

That's dead eye, that, sir. Yeah, I
know.

Consider this your last resilience
challenge.

You going to give it a go, Gabriella?
Maybe.

I did the real thing on my Duke of
Edinburgh.

Yeah, I know.

Every form will get a chance to tackle
it.

And I have to admit, it's pretty sick.

Where do they get all these details?

Police informed us they've got all the
charges.

It's rubbing salt into the wound.

That climbing wall's not just for
Gabriella Walk's benefit, is it? Of

not. But working on the wall with the
other kids might encourage her to fit

Have you seen?

Yeah, yeah. I did the phone interview.
You did what?

Parents are concerned. We need total
transparency to move on. Move on?

Simon, Christine is our friend.

Has anyone even spoken to her?

Not since figuring her out for the
police station, no. Well, she's up in

of the Board of Education this morning.
They'll decide if Christine can continue

to teach in our local authority.

Yes, and advise the GCC about striking
her off.

Yes, well, I'm sure Sue's dad will make
the right decision about Christine's

future, but we need to focus on the
school.

Poor Christine.

She was drink -driving, Audrey. Kindly
remind you that the police have no

evidence. She could have killed a kid,
right? Well, she deserves everything she

gets. Come on, troops.

Assembly time.

I agree with you about Christine.

So?

It's the end of term. Come on, Sue.

We're not just clear the air. I'm sorry,
okay? I'm sorry about Vix. Yeah, so am

I.

Since now, she's moving thousands of
miles to get away from you. You're what?

She's moving to Berlin.

Today. Are you happy now?

I told you not to come, Connor.

Sleeper train's no bother.

Station showers are minging, though.

This is the third time you've been up
since... Well, I couldn't let you face

council alone.

Who told you?

Um, Mr. Lowsley and Mr. McFall, too, but
everyone's really supportive of one. So

you're going to be okay.

Let me drive, yeah?

How long are you off work?

Um, just till tomorrow night.

Right, you need to get yourself ready
and I'll cook us some breakfast.

Do something quick.

You've got ages.

I need to go into school first.

We'll go into town.

The anchors, they've got a ramp for your
wheelchair.

And anyway, you're not hooked up to that
bag anymore, are you?

Come on, Katie, we're going to be late.

He'll come out.

Hello?

You can't be serious.

Round of applause for our most vigilant
student, Lenny Brown.

Congratulations, Leonard.

Well done.

And now to our academic awards.

Miss McFall?

Thank you, Mr. Loseley.

Now, the first academic award we are
presenting today is the History Cup.

And this is going to be presented to a
pupil who, after a shaky start, has

really impressed me this term.

The winner is Gabriella Walk.

Congratulations, Gabriella. Well done.

Would you like to say a few words?

Yes. I'd just like to say... Okay, she's
going to the Commonwealth Games.

I'm through with the selection.

I'm not definitely going.

Yes.

Right,

we're going to look at the role of the
mechanicals in A Midsummer Night's

Are they just there for light relief?

So discuss it in your pairs, and we'll
share in about five minutes.

I bet Casey doesn't even get accepted to
Commonwealth Games.

One word from Aphrodite.

What?

Ladyboy.

Please, can I sit with my friends, mate?

Yeah, of course.

I thought I might have heard back by now
from the police.

From the college police.

You will.

I've got some good news for myself.

Actually, Imogen, would you mind pairing
up with Gabrielle, please?

I'd have to miss.

Gabriela, we've not started yet. Quite
frankly, I don't give a damn about the

mechanical.

The fact I hate the...

That was well scary, sir.

Right, Katie.

Search all you can do.

Check Pfizer, girl. Go.

No, I'm stuck.

Come on, mate. Remember that resilience
education.

Just reach out for the next handhold.

I can do it, so can you.

I can't.

Give me a hand.

Trust me.

Nice one, Kate.

You're a legend.

Yeah, I can't help it.

Why aren't you in car?

I'm on a free, Mr. Reid.

What do you think of Katie?

She better climb on you.

Good job, Katie.

Yeah, good job.

You sure this was a good idea?

I need to do this.

Has the police let you go, mate?

Yes, Darren.

So you're going to be teaching us then?

No, and I probably won't be teaching
anywhere again.

How are things at home?

Well, yeah, social come round again. I
did put in my mum on, like, a waiting

list for a programme, so... Oh, that's
good.

I suppose so. They said I can stay with
her if she gets clean.

That's what you wanted, isn't it?

Yeah, of course.

Has Miss Delosely smoothed it with the
other pupils and their parents?

Oh, yeah, yeah, it's been good, Miss.

helping me out with, you know, to do
your pictures.

And my schoolwork. He has your best
interest at heart. He won't let you

I'm sorry if I did.

You should fight him, miss.

For your job.

It's too late, Darren.

She ain't supposed to be here.

All right.

Tea? I know. No milk?

Mademoiselle Stewart.

No phones in class.

Sorry, sir.

Can I be excused? It's important.

Whose is that?

I think it might be you, sir.

Hello?

Speaking.

Uh, what problem?

I thought you were taking your mum to a
big meeting.

I am, but she's...

She's given up.

She's quite this place and I think she's
going to let them strike her off.

I'm going to move back home.

For good.

I wanted to apologise to you while I'm
writing.

You didn't need to do this, Christine.

Everyone understands.

Do they?

Because I don't.

What I did was inexcusable.

Stupid.

You're going to give them what port the
council die, yeah?

Isn't it too little too late?

I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

Look, read the letter, bin it, whatever.

I let you all down last week. The
pupils, parents, everyone. You came into

school wasted.

Is this really called for? You have
ruined all of the hard work that you've

here.

And your career.

Well done.

Hey, Pete.

Did I drag on you?

I did.

The London School of Drama sent me an
unconditional offer.

That's amazing.

Not when your husband's moving back to
Scotland to look after his mum.

Listen, that shouldn't affect you,
right? Excuse me, you're blocking my

Can't you see that I'm a gentle sister?

Can't you see that I don't care?

You think you're so superior, you, don't
you?

Oh, Timothy, forcible words.

Congratulations. Don't mistake it, Nora.
You're all nothing.

You don't know anything about me. You
ought to do. You've got to spoil it all

back. And no one likes you.

Right, lads. Next group of meeting in
the gym. So we've got time for a brew.

Eddie.

Go.

Go get it done.

Goodbye.

Are you deaf?

No, I just don't want to give you your
ball back.

Then I'll take it.

Oh, she's no waffling case. You just
leave her. You can have your ball back

you win the race.

What race?

To the top of that.

And that's your chicken.

Come on, you lot. Only four more
periods, then home for the holidays.

You'd better beat her, Casey.

Of course I will.

Oi, Lenny.

What's little Miss Maiden Chelsea doing?

She's racing Casey to the top of that
wall.

Sweet.

I win.

I get my ball.

If you win, what do you get?

Prestige. That's what.

You know what? I don't even care about
my ball.

I just want to do you.

Go on, taste it.

Oh, Gabrielle is going to win.

Why? What have you got for Edinburgh?

Please, chill out. Mr. Mulgrew's a
drunk, but you're just crap.

Darren, language.

Christine.

He's not putting me in for my exams. I
need to fix something.

I am sure Mr.

Loseley thinks no such thing. You've got
another year with us, Darren. If you

put in the work, and if Ed Sight can
help you with your distractions, you can

turn those grades around.

See? All you have to do is stick at
things.

You can't just give up.

I know what you're doing, Miss.

Cooler. Now.

It's been an accident.

My hand.

Lisa, get Mr Reid. Tell him to find the
climbing instructors.

What happened?

He stabbed on my hand.

I didn't touch her. I don't know why
she's saying this.

Because she did.

But do you believe me?

Just calm down.

We need to get you to the hospital,
okay?

Casey!

You should be here, not now. Mum, come
on. I can handle this.

It was here!

Gabriella! She's lying.

Let's save the finger pointing for
later.

I reckon Gabby did do it.

Casey was well good up there.

Casey!

What are you doing? Don't worry,

your mum will look after you.

What were you two doing up there
unsupervised?

Mum, he'll be late.

Well, there's no concussion.

The injury to your wrist, however, is
concerning.

You've fractured the navicular bone.

We need to put your wrist in plaster for
12 weeks.

And once the park comes off, we can
arrange video.

I can't guarantee a full recovery, but
you'll be back from writing essays

the school year's out.

Is she the boxer?

Well, with plenty of aftercare.

What, on the NHS?

Don't start, Mum.

Can you just patch me up, please?

Right. I'll see you later. I'm going to
sort this out.

I'll get the nurse.

Customer number, yes, 007 -568 -99W.

Yes, I'd like to talk to someone about
my cruise, please.

No, cancelling it.

I didn't know it, Casey.

I couldn't do something like that.

What were you doing on the wall in the
first place?

I was showing off.

I wanted her to like me.

Well, we all want people to like us,
Gabriella. That's natural.

I'm sorry that you resorted to something
so dangerous.

I'm going to open an investigation into
what happened. I expect your full

cooperation.

I'll do anything.

Sonia, can you fetch Shaznei Montrose,
Lenny and Lisa Browns? I want to hear

what they saw.

Yes, Mr Ladley.

I've already spoken to them while you
were with Gabby and they didn't see

anything, so it's her word against
Casey's. I'd say it's a foregone

This isn't a witch hunt, Nicky.

Gabriela should be reported to the
police.

Sonia, do you have a direct number for
them, please?

Hey, hey, bring it in, all right? You
are too close to Casey.

Could you just hear yourself defending
her, Simon? She's a borderline

No, she isn't. She's a kid.

An upset kid in our care. We should be
helping Gabriella, not condemning her.

Look, I'm head now, all right? And what
I say goes, so just drop it, OK?

OK.

Oh, um... Acting.

You're acting head, Simon. You should
remember that.

Sorry. I shouldn't have left the wall
unattended. No, you shouldn't have. I'm

going to be in touch with your boss.
This is an insurance matter, it's not a

legal one.

Gabriella's mum is in the foyer and
apparently she ain't too happy.

I'm sorry.

Gabriella is very upset, Mrs Wark.

We are investigating the accident and I
hope to treat it precisely as that.

A tragic accident.

I find that nothing is accidental when
it comes to my daughter.

Mummy, I didn't do anything.

Is there somewhere else we can go?

Sort this out.

Ah, yeah, OK.

Excuse me.

When I was about seven or eight, I just
found Mum was really bad.

It was just pub.

She'd put me to bed and then...

Go over and then come home with clothes
and come into my room and then kiss me

in the cheek.

Pretending I was sleeping.

Smell the booze off her.

It made me feel safe to know that she
was home.

That's so messed up, isn't it?

If they stop her from teaching, she's
got nothing.

If I'm here, then I can look after her,
keep her safe.

It's not your job.

What? To save her.

Great.

We're ready for you.

Second left.

Hope Casey's rested, OK?

Yeah, it will be, but I'm in time for
the games.

Well, what are you going to tell your
mum?

That I have to do?

Look after her?

And check London?

Imogen was dead upset.

She'd been banging on about this drama
course all year.

What?

Oh, she didn't say?

She's got an unconditional offer for
London.

You can't throw all this away.

That's rich coming from you.

But you're telling him not to throw his
life away.

You won't get off the bed.

It's different.

How is it different?

He's throwing his dream job away and
trampling on Imogen and you.

Well, you're just moving around because
your brain's not as buff anymore.

Oh, Kate.

How is it?

Hey, you stopped these tears.

You're lucky we're not scraping you off
the floor like a blob of jam.

Can we go home?

No. We're going to sort this out with
Gabriella Walk for good.

And Connor, you're going to sort
yourself out for emergency.

And you!

You get your backside in this chair now.

Come on.

Gabriella, I want the truth.

Now.

The Brown twins, have you sent for them?

But Nicky said... I don't care what
Nicky said.

Oi! Miss Barry. You finished shouting at
her?

I wasn't shouting.

How's Katie?

Her future's down the swanny. How do you
think?

I'm truly sorry. Have you kicked her out
yet?

We haven't got enough evidence to lay
blame on Gabriella. What happened was an

unfortunate accident.

Yeah, well, Christine might have been
half -cut, but she was twice the head

you are.

How much for this to go away?

Mrs Watt, can you wait in there, please?
Is she paying you off? No. I've seen it

all now. I've no idea what she's doing.
I'll take Gabriella now. We'll find a

new school.

Mrs Watt, this is completely unethical.

Ten grand.

I'll take ten grand for starters.
That'll stop me going down the cop shop.

we can discuss a settlement for our
Katie.

And you are?

From your weirdest nightmare.

Checks payable to Carol Barry.

Suddenly this all makes sense.

Excuse me?

Did... Let your daughter hurl herself
off the wall on purpose.

What have you done?

Are you okay?

You'll be hearing from my solicitor.
Yeah, and you'll be hearing from mine.

Put your hands off me.

Casey wouldn't make up something like
this.

So, why don't you admit it, and then we
can just move on?

I've told you.

Everyone has given you the benefit of
the doubt.

You have been given a stack of second
chances which has thrown back in our

faces.

So now it's time to say sorry. Sorry to
Casey, sorry to Mr Reid and sorry to me.

All right.

We'll phone the police.

I'm sorry that your relationship is so
flimsy that a 17 -year -old schoolgirl

could destroy it.

That's what this is about, isn't it?

Don't be ridiculous.

You're blaming me for your fair little
life going off piste.

Shut up.

All I did was tell the truth about you
and Mr. Reed.

I said shut up!

Make me.

What are you doing?

Ow! What are you doing? Ow! What are you
doing?

Stop it!

Stop it! Stop it!

I'm hoping you will take my cooperation
into consideration.

Oh, we will.

However, after this hearing, you may no
longer be permitted to teach in our

authority. Now... We'll make our
recommendation to the General Teaching

and then the GTC will decide whether you
should be struck off altogether.

I do understand.

But I am a good teacher.

You were drunk in school.

I laughed. You put our pupils at risk.
Will you let me speak?

I have worked hard to make Waterloo Road
a school where pupils, difficult

pupils, get second and third chances.

I am asking the same of you.

I have a problem with alcohol, but I am
getting help, and what I did will never

happen again.

You've been in, um, recovery before.

You know I have.

My addiction and the pressure of being
head broke me, but that doesn't mean I

can't work in a classroom.

I would love to teach English at
Waterloo Road, but if that's not

please let me work in another local
authority.

I think we'll have a few questions
first.

Um, who'd like to start?

Yeah,

I wanted to tell the truth, but I didn't
touch it.

I saw you.

Right. Do you really think I'd hurt her?

I was angry, OK, but Gabriella has set
me off. Look, I've got Mrs Walk in my

office and I'm going to have to explain
to her what happened. Yeah, and she

knows exactly what she's like because
her daughter has caused mayhem at every

single school she's attended. Right,
that's it. Take the rest of the day off.

Oh, no, no, no. I'm going to have to
formally suspend you, pending an

investigation. No, I am not going home.
Nicky, will you please for once do as

you're told?

But if I leave, it's an admission of
guilt, and I didn't touch her. So I am

going back to my class, and you can get
Gabriella to tell you the truth.

No!

Why? I've always been the same. Get the
retaliation in third. I'm so stupid.

No, you're not. You're the tigress
protecting her cub.

Look, I found a cruise company, and we
can claim on that insurance, though

cancelling won't cost us a penny.

We can stay here, look after Casey and
face whatever the walks have to throw at

us.

Would you really do that for me?

Yeah. Of course.

If that top left his charges, I'll be
taking holidays of my own.

And magic is pleasure.

I don't think you'd get a custodial
sentence for a cat fight.

You do if you've got a bit of previous.

Sue, have you seen Gabriella Walk?

No. Gabriella's claiming that Nicky hit
her. I walked in on them and I think

that... What, that she did it? Maybe.

Gabriella was really upset, Sue, and
I've got Mrs Walk in the office and I

think I can... Hey, hey, hey.

What has resilience education taught you
this term? That anyone can do anything.

You're acting head, next term you'll be
head teacher.

This is your test, Twinkle.

You're right.

I always am.

Look, I've got to go meet Vix for a
goodbye lunch, but when I get back, I

a smile.

Okay? Okay.

And I will take routine testing if that
would put the board's mind at rest.

And who would foot the bill for this
testing?

Well, I think I conclude things.

Thank you. Oh, thank you, Christine.

We will confer upon your case and make a
recommendation to the General Teaching

Council.

Despite your impassioned plea, your
actions leave us very little room for

manoeuvre.

When will I know?

Hopefully before the commencement of
next term.

Well, my mind's made up.

This shouldn't take long, should it?

your hair back.

What are you doing? We need photographic
evidence.

I assume you've suspended Miss Boston.

I've asked her to go home.

You're the side now.

But Miss Boston is denying that she
struck Gabriella. Then why is my

bleeding? Mr. Losing, you saw her attack
me.

No, I didn't.

Gabriella, you weren't bleeding in
pastoral care.

Are you saying that I'm lying?

I don't know.

I believe my daughter missed a load,
Lee.

Waterloo Road, Secretary's office.

Hi, Sonia, it's Christine.

Any news on Kisa Barry?

She's broken her wrist.

Christine is all kicking off.

Give me a minute, please.

Nikki has hit Gabriella Wall.

Well, at least that's Gabriella's
version of her pen.

Can you get me Audrey or someone?

Just a second, Christine.

Can I speak to her?

Christine, it's Simon.

Simon, are you OK?

Yeah.

No, no, look.

I need help with Gabriella. She's out of
control.

I've just come out of my hearing. I
can't come back to school.

You know what the walks have been
through. They trust you.

I could jeopardise any chance I've got
of saving my career.

Simon, I'm sorry. Mr Loseley.

Please, Christine.

Simon?

You did the right thing.

Going home with a boring major that
would kill me.

Well, Simon needs to deal with this now.

I'll leave you to it, yeah?

You know what to do, mate.

All right, babe?

Your cast doesn't look too bad, does it?
No.

It'll heal.

It will. I'm going to swing for that
Gabriella walk.

You might want to think about that.

I kind of need to tell you.

You should have told me about the
college.

I don't want to heat more on you.

Kevin and Dennis, do you think I should
go back to London?

You'll be down after your exams and then
we'll live our lives.

What do you think?

And what's the point if I'm going to be
worried about my mum?

I'm staying here.

I'll get a job in Greenwick, but I'm not
going to stop you going to that

college.

What do you think?

I don't think you'd never do that.

Look, don't shoot the messenger. She
just blipped out.

She knows I'm moving to Berlin.

She texted this morning.

Ah, that was me. I sort of blurted it
out.

Who's the kid?

Joey, I'm home!

In here, Dad.

Gabriella Walk.

Her again? Yeah, well, she's ruined
Casey Barry's chances for the

Games. Nicky's Casey, the boxer.

Oh, what a morn.

Well, how did it go with Christine?

I don't know.

I've got to finish pecking.

I'll leave you two to stir the cauldron.

Well?

Suzy, you shouldn't be asking me. Dad,
is she gone?

I couldn't possibly divulge.

But you know that bottle of bubbly left
over from my birthday?

I could share it with Simon at Sunday
dinner.

Vic!

Did you hear that?

Vic!

You can't leave without getting to the
truth of the matter.

Sadly, the truth of the matter is on my
camera phone.

Gabriella has been injured in your care.

It's over to the police now.

Mrs. Wolfe, please let me sort this.

I think he owe Mr. Loseley another
chance.

God knows we gave your daughter enough.

Can you wait outside for a couple of
minutes, please?

I already want a bit of trouble.

Thanks. You're here.

Who told me?

It's that vicious little blonde again.
Ignore her.

I can't.

I didn't touch her.

She's just determined on getting me
sacked.

Don't give her the satisfaction.

Just walk away.

I've, uh... I've got this really great
studio in Berlin.

Only got the one bedroom, but I
thought... After everything I've done...

Till... Care.

I don't deserve you.

Yeah, you might... Might meet someone in
Berlin, like, someone better than me.

Maybe, but... Can I borrow you?

What are you doing here?

I'm trying to save your job. I need to
know exactly what happened with

Gabriella. You don't need to do this.

If I walk away, she wins.

Then we lose.

In your own time.

Nicky?

Yeah? Tell me what happened.

I don't want her in here.

Does she need to be involved?

Yes.

Gabrielle, the story jeopardises Miss
Boston's future as a teacher.

We could, and probably should, hand this
over to the local authority and the

police. But I think calling them's the
last thing any of us need.

However, it is 23.

So when the bell goes to the end of
school, Mr Loseley will have to follow

procedure and call the police.

And, Miss, we can sort this out now.

Are we still on for the pub later?

Got my fake ID.

Don't feel like celebrating any more.

What? I was well looking forward to it.

Your mobile playing up.

I've been texting you to come and see
me.

Oh, I turned it off on the ambulance.

Well, I've got news.

Police College have been in touch.

You're in? No way! Yes, Manny!

Oh, well done.

Hey, the busies want me. They want PC
Buddy.

Oh, you can nick him on yourself now.

That's brilliant, doesn't it?

And I'm going to apply for a drama
course in Glasgow, so we won't be far

Connor's got to be here for his mum, so
we're bussed in.

Oh, uh, your mum all right with that?

She needed me, so... Congratulations.

So we have two cases of Gabriella's word
being called into question.

First by Casey, secondly by McBurton.

I'm telling the truth.

Nobody believes me, do they?

Don't you dare use today against me.

I believe you, Gabriella.

It's a bit stuffy in here, don't you
think?

Fancy a walk?

Where are we going?

Just down here.

I'd been round the board table once
already today.

I couldn't stand it again.

I came here for a fresh start.

My last school had seen straight through
me, so I moved somewhere where nobody

knew me.

But from day one, right there.

I started lying.

It's like you.

When you lie as much as we do, I think
you end up believing them yourself.

Mr. Boston did attack me.

I didn't touch Casey.

I'm a drunk, Gabby.

I'm sure you know that.

Well, everyone does now.

When Connor was little, we used to live
right by a pub.

I'd put him to bed, close his curtains,
and sneak out for a drink.

I'd come home drunk.

Going to kiss him and pass out.

I was sure he didn't know.

But one night I came home and... ..found
the curtains open.

Conor had forgot to shut them.

My little boy had been sat in the window
waiting for me and...

Now he was pretending to be asleep.

I went in and kissed him and then I
cried my eyes out.

That was such a wake -up call. I stayed
sober for a year after that.

Lying to other people is cruel.

But lying to yourself is so much worse.

You're a clever girl who can have a
bright future, I'm sure of that.

But you won't if you can't be honest
with yourself.

I'll get into trouble.

That's what you wanted, wasn't it?

To get into trouble?

I know you want your parents' attention.

I heard you say to your mum, not today.

It's her birthday.

Your sister.

Daddy always makes sure he's away on
business every year, and I thought maybe

could make him come back.

She would have been 15 if I'd have
looked after her.

I look at Timothy and Casey, and I think
that should have been us.

Have you heard any of this, do you feel
it?

They wouldn't listen to me.

They're still hurting over your sister,
but if you're honest with them, maybe

they'll surprise you. I've had enough.

Your father can deal with it tomorrow.

Gabriella has something to say.

I need to apologize to Miss Boston and
Casey.

I think you should go in there and
support your daughter.

I'm sure Florence wouldn't have wanted
all this hurt.

I'm sorry.

Miss Boston didn't touch me.

I did it to myself.

Casey, I hurt you to get attention.

Attention from my parents.

Since my sister died.

They haven't...

Everyone loves you, Casey.

I just wish someone felt that way about
me.

I snapped on your hand.

I shouldn't have, and I shouldn't have
lied.

I hope you can both forgive me.

You're forgiven.

Hallelujah. Now, where's that checkbook?

Carol, I hear that bruise on Mrs Wark's
face as you're doing.

Maybe we should leave all this here.

Keep her going to need her mum around.

Let's just drop it, Mum.

Shall I leave you two to talk?

Mum?

Mrs Wark?

I'm scared of this, Mum.

Doing things to get you to notice me,
Dad, too.

I want us to be normal.

What happened to Florence?

Happened seven years ago.

Can today be a new start, please?

Florence is dead.

I'm alive.

to my mum and my dad.

We all want this to end.

Christine, how did you... Threat of
violence usually does the trick.

I just talked to her.

She's a kid, not a monster. You two
couldn't see that.

You because you were angry about Casey
and you because you were worried about

your job.

Christine, I'm sorry.

Don't be.

Either of you.

You two are the best teachers I've ever
worked with.

Vocational, living for the job.

I was just glad to get through the day
and pick up the paycheck.

That's not true.

I'd like to take back what I said this
morning.

Why? You were right. I've shot myself in
the foot.

I'm not even meant to be here.

What will you do now?

Go home, get a job.

I'm thinking barmaid.

Sonia, could you get me a cab home,
please?

All right, Audrey.

Connor's here with the car.

Oh.

Good. No, Christine.

It's, um... It's not good.

Sonia's just heard Connor in the
library.

He's moving back home.

He thinks it's his duty to look after
his alcoholic mother.

Right. The end of another term?

Yeah.

That stuff about the paycheck, that was
rubbish, wasn't it?

Who knows?

I can't sack her, Nicky.

She saved all our necks today.

Yeah.

Do you really live for the job?

Yeah, of course.

Hmm, of course.

We're letting her be.

She's screwed up enough as it is.

You're OK, though, Keisha?

I suppose.

Come here.

And me and George have decided to knock
the crews on the head.

I'm going to stay and look after you.

But, Mum, you've been looking forward to
that crew.

Yeah, Mum, you deserve it. I mean, ten
weeks on that outfit, you deserve a

medal. Yeah, and your mum couldn't
possibly drag herself away.

Yeah, I could.

Girls need you, they can't. As if.

No, do you know what? The girls are
right.

The past few months have been hell.

Nothing I'd like more than some sun, sea
and... I better deal with that.

The cruise is on.

Well, what can I say?

Right, come on, girls.

Time's ticking. Get me out of these
straight jackets.

Mr Windsor, are you OK?

Tickety -boo, Imogen.

Holiday reading?

No, I've been teaching it all term.

It's actually the first text I ever
taught.

Pub?

I don't think so.

I just wanted to say thank you for being
there today.

It's all right, Kate.

Are you next term, then?

I'm not coming back next term.

Gabby let you off the hook. Yeah, I
know.

But I think it's time for a fresh
adventure.

You're the only one who gets me.

Since Mr. Clarkson.

Mr. Clarkson would be so proud of you,
Casey. I know that.

Because I am.

I need you.

You can call me anytime.

And I want ringside seats for the games.

I'm not going. In Rio.

The Olympics?

Yeah. You can do it. I'm absolutely sure
of it.

Don't go.

Come on, stop blubbing.

Like me, that girl that just got back
from Florida.

Don't you think I want some of the same?

You're going to Florida?

No.

Germany. So you're broke.

Well, Mother, it seems, was up to her
neck in debt, of which I am now the

owner.

The cruise was booked on credit, though
I am now completely sunk.

Tell Carol.

How?

With words.

Carol may not be my usual choice of
woman, but I am very fond of her, and if

was to tell her I'm broke, she'd
probably drop me like a stone.

There, Captain Windsor.

Try not to

throw yourself overboard.

You just couldn't keep away.

I called my father -in -law and the
council are going to let you teach.

Isn't that right, Robert?

It seems you have a lot of support at
Waterloo Road and on the education

You do want to stay, don't you?

Of course I do.

Well, the board were very impressed with
your performance earlier. It seems I

was a lone voice.

You won't be able to hold a position of
seniority, of course.

But we'll see you next term.

Thank you.

Thank you, both of you.

If she steps out of line, then I'll
accept all responsibility.

I'm her headteacher.

Well, for the rest of the year, maybe.

See you at Sunday dinner, son.

I can't believe that lot are here. We
should have just gone somewhere else.

Ignore them.

These are our last day.

Next came exams and then we are out the
VHS.

I told the bar staff which ones were
under 18.

Where's Simon?

He's speaking with your dad. Said he
didn't fancy a bike.

That's odd. Not as odd as Nicky.

She's quit.

Said she's off to Germany.

What?

Can I have a bourbon, please?

Sue? Vix, where are you?

I'm waiting for my taxi. Just go and get
on your flight.

I don't understand.

Just get on the plane. Just don't look
back.

That'll be my taxi. Wait a sec.

Vix!

Vix!

Vix! Nicky?

I quit.

Will you help me?

Yeah. Sorry, Sue. We'll send you a
postcard.

Are you sure?

I promise.

I will never hurt you again. You can't
promise that.

But I reckon what we've got, it's worth
risking a bit of heartache for.

There's the cab.

You ready?

Wake.

I was scared of being happy, that's why.

I slept with Hector. You don't need to
explain.

No, no, I do.

You love me.

And I guess I was scared of that, you
see.

And I didn't feel like I deserved it, so
I did what I always do, and I just

pressed the button. I pressed the self
-destruct button.

But you were happy?

Yeah.

Well, then don't be scared.

Be happy.

Brave and beautiful.

And from today, you're mine.

Come on, answer.

What do you think you're doing?

Giving Nicky her happy ending.

What, so she can screw up my sister's
life?

Really? Yeah, really. And your sister's
bad.

If it hadn't been for you sticking
yourself in where it wasn't wanted then

and Nicky would still be here.

Why would I expect an idiot like you to
even understand?

I'll get the drinks in.

Are you sure you want to do this here?

Yes, Audrey, I am.

Right, last one to finish these, that's
the Donald, baby.

Ready? One, two, three.

Ariana, it's you.

It's just him, Tommy.

Two tickets.

for the sleeper train tonight.

Mum,

I'm staying. It's fine.

Connor, I don't want you looking after
me.

And I won't have you both lie about
being happy to stay.

You have lives waiting in London at the
restaurant and at college. You go and

get them.

And what about you?

Well, I'm going to be back teaching next
term.

And Audrey has asked me to stay with
her.

I'm going to be keeping my eye on her.

Apparently I'll have my own en suite.

Right, well, the train doesn't leave
Glasgow until gone 11, so you have a few

hours.

Enjoy your night.

Oh, and Rhiannon, that is not Vimto. Do
not kid a kidder.

Danny, come on! Woo!

Cheers! Cheers!

Come on.

Hector, where's the line we filled up
with?

Well done, boss.

Take a look at BBC Three's original
drama short, celebrating young writers

directors, available now on BBC iPlayer.
Well, next here, it's all for a good

cause. Celebrities try living on the
poverty line, famous, rich and hungry

sport relief.
