All language subtitles for Waterloo Road s10e05 Testing Times

I've loved showing off to you, haven't
you Natty? I've had to love showing off

to everyone.

Took me ages.

Well worth the effort when you get three
exams and onto that course.

Well, I'm your teacher today.

I still love that you've gone.

I see.

It's the past, isn't it Lenny?

I'm never going to be ready for these
exams.

Come next to me if you want.

Lady!

Lady!

Have you been up all night?

No, I just got up early.

What time is it?

Why would anyone waste their time
swatting their guts out for some poxy

exam?

Because if you don't get decent grades,
then there's no point applying for their

college course.

How long is this exam obsession going to
last?

See you down there.

Whoa, here's a first.

Are you ready for your exams?

Only I never get to check up on you,
hold up in that garage.

Yeah, bring it on.

Don't get too cocky.

Right, is everyone in there ready? I've
got an answer for them to get ready for

this morning.

Can you please shut up?

Did you know, every year, nearly 10
billion junk letters are sent and

Yep, most of it for this house.

Right, come on everybody, place in the
sink, we've got to go.

What happened to being nice?

I can't help it. He wants me up.

You've just got to try harder.

We need them to be on our side. Then
maybe we can stop sneaking around.

I know.

I'm sorry.

I think now and then that there is a man
who would give his life to keep a life

that you love beside you.

It doesn't mean you're going to pass.

Well, it means I'm getting better.

Just remember, they're just mock exams.

No, I know, but usually if you do good
in the mocks, it means you're going to

good in the real thing.

Are you still thinking about doing
sports? Yeah, I'm thinking about going

Stirling Uni.

Maybe. Mr Weed said that there's a
really good sports department down

Yeah. I need an A and three Bs.

Stirling Uni?

You've got more chance of becoming the
next Pope.

Well, have you asked any teachers about
your predicted grades?

Teachers won't tell you, will they? It'd
be good to know that, eh?

Well, er... You know, there are some
other ways of finding that information.

I'll catch you later, pal.

Come on, you lot. Time to go. Good luck.

What do you think you tell me?

Mr Reid gave me the prospectus.

I'm not saying that I'm definitely
going.

I want to try, Lisa.

Pushing himself really hard. You should
see the state of his bedroom.

Well, he's set himself a very
challenging goal. He needs pushing.

Good lad, Lenny.

Bright, positive.

Make a great PE teacher.

Like anyone we know.

Can't help it if I'm a role model,
Maggie.

Yeah. Good morning, everyone.

As you can see, your papers have been
laid out. If you could return them to

same spot after your exams, that'd be
great.

Thank you and good luck.

Thank you, Simon. Thank you for all the
work you've done getting us ready.

Brother.

Now, I know you've all been cracking the
revision whip the last couple of weeks,

some of you rather more than others.

I just think we need a little more calm
around the place. Exams are important,

but they shouldn't be the tail that wags
the school dog.

We want results, Vaughan. That comes at
a cost.

There's nothing wrong with hard work,
but we don't want to turn the school

an exam factory.

Well -rounded individuals.

That's what we're looking for. They're
children, not robots.

Do you agree with that?

Sorry, what?

How does he think kids pass exams? Well,

he does have a point, Christine.

The brain tends not to function well
under stress.

Well, they have to learn to cope with
it.

They can't handle a few exams, wait till
they step into the real world.

I take it Vaughan's praise means you're
working late tonight.

Well, it's me or it closes, so what can
I do?

What is this?

Oh, it's a special offer from the
Seacrest Hotel.

Probably trying to tempt more people to
join their gym, I expect.

Well, you should go. It'll do you good.

Well, I'd rather have a nice meal with
you. Some other night, all right?

Do you think you're okay?

Not really.

You've been avoiding me.

Hector. Just give me a bit of space, all
right?

I take it you've paid every bill since
she's been in there.

For that thousands of pounds on
aromatherapy massages and reiki healing

we've been struggling by squashed into
that stupid house. What was I supposed

do? I didn't think it would take this
long.

Is there more to this than a guilty
conscience?

What?

She seems to still have a very strong
hold over you.

Ali, she is the mother of my children.
I'm not going to pretend she doesn't

exist, but no one wants her out of there
more than me.

Really?

Well, actions speak louder than words.

Ali!

Mum! Mum!

You don't have any of them really fine
paintbrushes, do you?

You're supposed to supply your own. I
know, sorry, I just left mine at home.

Well, that is typical of you.

All right, I was just asking.

I'm sorry. Yes, don't worry, we've got
loads.

Mum, what's up?

Nothing, I'm fine. Shouldn't you be
getting to the art room?

Mum, I know something's wrong.

What's up?

I've just found out that Vaughan's been
paying for Olga's treatment in the

clinic. Nothing for you to worry about.

Me and Vaughan will sort it out.

Keep it to yourself, yeah?

OK. See you in the out room. Yeah, I'll
see you later.

Did you get my granddad's check?

Uh, yes, Lenny, thanks, I did.

He's, uh, he's going for it anyways.

A note off my heart, miss. The quotes,
everything.

Well, that's great, but just make sure
you get the context right.

I've got every faith in you, Lenny.

Thanks. How come my sister doesn't get
you? She's not interested.

All right.

Mummy, that's good.

Quick, quick, I'm... Sorry, mate.

This is the something that I want to do
on my own.

Don't say anything to anyone.

Hey, Lenny.

Told you they were away.

Listen, mate. They're only predicted,
Greg.

I've seen the rest of these.

Yeah. I know how you feel.

All of mine have dropped as well.

Is this for real? Where did you get it?

Don't ask.

You found them, alright?

Okay, everyone.

Bags at the front. No mobile phones.

Come in quietly.

We haven't started yet.

All right, sorry, miss. I forgot.

You putting that in your exhibition?

It's pretty good. Don't touch it.

Look, I'm just trying to make an effort,
mate. We live in the same house.

Yeah, well, tell your dad that.

What? Your dad has been paying for your
mum to live in that loony bin and lying

to my mum about it.

She just told me then.

OK, everybody, sorry I'm late.

If you don't want to get any pens,
pencils or equipment you might need

we'll start in two minutes.

Sorry, um, did you not know about that?
Oh, I mean, it proves one thing, doesn't

it? Oh, yeah. Just how much he cares
about my mum.

Oh, is that the reason why he dumped her
then? Look, I'm just saying, you'd

better get used to it because she won't
like it. Get on my face.

Hey, hey, what's going on?

I'm not having this loser slagging off
my dad for looking after his wife.

Go back to your place, Justin.

Well, why shouldn't you know? Because
it's none of your business.

So zip it.

You're not helping anyone.

Right, let's begin.

Mrs. Loseley.

What's that? I'm teaching.

Two seconds.

I haven't got two seconds.

I told you we need to keep our distance.

And I agree. I just came to tell you
that. I get it.

I'll keep my distance.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Okay, everybody, turn round, get on with
your work.

What's going on?

I'll take that.

I didn't look at that, miss, I promise.

You've got three minutes left.

I'll see you at the end.

Take your time.

Nice and easy.

Your exam going well?

Yeah, not bad.

I've just found out that you've been
paying for Mum's medical bills.

Yes.

And who, Floyd?

Your girlfriend told him.

I just wanted her to have the best care.
Of course you did.

It's natural, isn't it?

Sorry?

Dad, I saw the way you were with her
last week, and now you lie to Ali about

clinic. You still love her.

You can tell me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Justin, slow
down.

You have absolutely the wrong idea.

Am I missing something here?

The kiss, just an affectionate goodbye.
The clinic, I feel partly responsible

for Mum's condition, but I am not going
back to her.

The marriage is over.

Why didn't Val tell Mum about it?

Pretty big thing to keep a secret, isn't
it?

I just thought he was going to get back
with my mum.

He's not.

But you hoped he was.

Look, it's not our problem.

It doesn't change anything between us.

You're right.

And to prove it, next lesson you're
going to apologise to Floyd.

Tiff, I can't just pretend that didn't
happen.

Why not?

When I don't want to think about things
I don't like, guess what I do?

I don't think about them.

Lenny, I am so disappointed.

I didn't look at it.

That's not the point.

You're not allowed to bring revision
material into an exam room.

I forgot.

There was stuff in that exam that you
didn't even cover.

We covered everything.

You said the close reading was going to
be a newspaper article. I said it might

be.

Did you remember the reading method,
blurb, title, signal word?

No.

Because I thought it was going to be a
newspaper article. That's what you said.

Lenny, calm down. Just... Lenny.

Lenny!

I shouldn't have told Floyd. I'm really
sorry I did that.

I'm not pointing fingers.

They're fighting our battles for us. You
realise that, don't you? This is all

getting out of hand.

I'll go and see Olga.

Straight after school.

Is Lenny in there?

I don't know. I think he might be in
there. Just go and get him, Darren.

Lenny?

Yeah, I mean, you know who's outside?

Lenny Nugget.

Is everything okay, Lenny?

I panicked in there.

I don't think I can do this, miss.

Of course you can.

Where's this come from?

It's just something familiar.

I'm fine now.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Honestly, miss, I'm fine.

Okay. Critical essay next.

Yeah. A Tale of Two Cities and a TV
drama of your choice.

It's all in here, Lenny.

Just relax.

Okay, thanks, ma 'am.

Why did she let you off?

Because she'd been working so hard.

Special treatment.

Look, I know this is something that
you're not interested in, but I'm

trying to do something with my life.

All right, yeah.

Sport's busy, all right.

I like sport, and I'm good at football.

There's nothing wrong with having a
goal, Lisa.

Oh, my God.

A goal?

What is Mulgrew filling your head with?

What is it with you and her?

She's tutoring me.

Alright?

Tutoring?

What, like, just doing her?

Yeah.

Why?

Why is she helping you?

Grandad's paying her to get me into
university.

Grandad's paying her?

Yeah. About 20 quid a lesson.

Why's he never offered to help me?

Get real.

Since when have you been interested in
learning or school?

You actually think you'll get into uni?

I'm going to give it a go.

You come in.

Lisa.

Uh, Mrs. Losey.

What would you say if I told you I was
going to close the cafe tonight?

What? You can do that.

Hey, I'm in charge.

Where do you want to go?

Um, oh, if I don't mind.

You decide.

Okay.

I'll talk to her.

See you later.

Mrs. Loseley.

Mr. Reid.

Just, uh,

keeping my distance.

They reckon it's about 1 .2 metres.

What's this?

Personal space.

I'm not bothered about him doing it.

He went behind my back.

That's what I don't like.

I thought he told Dietrich about
everything.

I knew what they were almost thinking
and that. That's identical twins.

He looks like he's about to get his body
pulled out.

What's the matter?

Not done enough revising?

What's this?

Projected grades?

Where did you get these?

I just found it. Give me a part.

Getting a B in English, Lenny.

This proves it, all this revising.

It's a complete waste of time.

A? Lee, did you get an A?

Like I'm bothered.

Okay, round two, everyone. Please go
inside.

Lisa? A word.

What was that about?

Nothing. Well, it didn't look like
nothing to me.

When he doesn't need you having a go at
him two minutes before he starts the

exam.

Do you want him to do well in his mark?

Yes.

I don't know what doesn't encourage me.
It goes a long way.

You've got an extra 20 minutes, okay?

Look,

what I said earlier, I was out of order.
Yeah, whatever.

No, I mean it, Floyd.

What goes on between my dad and your
mum, it shouldn't affect us.

And... I'm sorry.

Have you had a brain transplant or
something?

Come on, life's too short.

OK, everyone, turn your papers over.

Summer calls to multiply,

to multiply.

Put your pens down, please. The exam is
finished.

Complete silence until all your papers
have been collected.

Lenny, the exam's finished.

Lenny, put your pen down, please.

Lenny! Lenny.

Can you dismiss this lock?

OK, everybody, stand up, please, chairs
under, and make your way out quietly.

Hey, Len.

Exam's over.

I think you've done enough, mate.

That's it.

Good lad.

How did you do?

I had brain freeze.

Probably means I dropped a couple of
marks.

I don't think I've ever dropped two
marks in my life.

Actually, I did drop three marks in a
test once, when I was seven.

Good to see you two actually having a
conversation.

Your dad'll be pleased.

Yeah, actually, sir, it was more of a
monologue.

Floyd just kind of listened.

See?

Best friends forever.

Kevin, you've got more time left. Yeah,
I don't need it.

What's happened?

Oh, come on, you're much better than
this. I used to be. Yeah.

Lenny, what's the matter?

Totally bombed it on that test.

Oh, my God, will you shut up about the
test?

Lisa. What good's your turn in, Dad?

Just leave it, Lisa.

She's worried about Lenny. He's not
feeling very well.

Lenny, what's this?

Mr Mulgrew, Lenny's not... Lenny?

Breathe easily, mate. Lenny, look at me.

Just look at me. Look at me.

Try and go easy. Nice and easy, yeah?

Nice and easy, okay? Just... Lenny.

Lenny, Lenny, look at me. Stay with me,
Lenny. Hey.

One at a time, one at a time. All right,
don't crowd me.

Look at these lot. Easy, Lenny.

You don't need to pay.

You're guaranteed all A's, Kevin.

Yeah.

Great. I get predicted a day even before
I'm in the exam.

Why bother?

We should boycott these exams.

Why? Like you said, why bother if you're
not going to pass?

To prove them wrong.

It's a waste of time.

They've already written us off.

Come on, we all do it. A mass walkout.

No one's listening to you, Lisa.

And they need to pass these exams like
you're Lenny.

You should try too.

How do you do it?

The predictive grades. Is that what you
were doing this morning?

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

I think what you've heard there, mate,
is a

little panic attack, probably brought on
by lack of sleep and anxiety over the

exams. Physically, it's fine.

Nothing a few hours' kit wouldn't put
right, anyway.

Thank you, Mr Reid. I appreciate it.

Exam fever get too much for you, huh?

Look, I did put Lenny under a bit of
pressure. I hold my hands up to that. A

of pressure?

He had a panic attack.

It wasn't Mrs Mulgrew. Folks were after
the two of me.

You've been giving Lenny extra lessons?

Yes.

I asked her to.

Well, my granddad did. He's paying for
them.

Mr. Brown contacted me. He wanted me...
Can we discuss this in my office,

please? Absolutely.

Feel up to getting some fresh air?

Yeah. Good.

Well, I thought we could do with getting
out of the house tonight.

We're spending a bit of alone time
together, so...

I thought the only place we could go
without any questions being asked.

Sir, we'd like to volunteer for the
community cafe tonight.

Oh, I appreciate that, guys, but the
cafe's closed tonight.

But we're volunteering, sir.

Yeah, I've got staffing problems.

Sorry. Tomorrow night instead, yeah?

Let's just sign up for tomorrow.

I'm going to spend time with you
tonight.

You heard him. The cafe's closed.

Sorry, what was it that my dad does
again?

Lenny, why did you believe when she has
made that shoot with the grades?

I didn't. They took it from me. You
didn't tell them that I gave it to you?

No, I said that I found it. If they've
already given up on us, why should we

care? Right, Lynn, where have you been
hiding?

What's going on there?

Lisa and Chasney have organised a mass
walkout of the history exam.

Right, come on, let's go.

Lisa, you're not doing the exam?

Well, we're not staying here when
they've already written us off.

You and Lynn?

I say, Mrs Smokeroo might disapprove.

No.

I'm in.

But what happened to wanting to pass all
your exams and go to uni? OK, Lisa, can

we just go?

Lenny, don't listen to him.

Oh, who asked you?

I'm trying to get the best out of Lenny
to secure the best future for him.

By hothousing him.

Call it whatever you want, but it gets
results.

It's a competitive world, Vaughan.

Education is not about competing. It's
about fostering a spirit of curiosity.

Lenny's mother is a drug addict. His
older brother is in prison.

Who is going to sit round a kitchen
table with Lenny fostering curiosity?

We are.

I mean, I'll bet you helped your kids
over the years.

All those silly primary school projects,
buying Justin or Leo books or laptops

or God knows what, to give them that
little advantage over the others.

You know, looking back, I know it's what
I should have done more of with Connor,

and that's what I'm trying to do here.

Make amends for past mistakes?

Well, if you like.

Connor's happy for now, but who knows
what he'd be doing if I really pushed

Well, I don't want to create sleep
-deprived, overworked, unhappy students.

want our children to be balanced
individuals, with more to them than a

a letter on a page.

What are you going to do, ban teachers
from chittering? Yeah. You can't do

Watch me.

Sorry to interrupt.

Miss McFall wanted the word. Yes,
Audrey. We have a slight problem. A

pupils failed to show up for their
history exam, and I found this, along

several others pinned to the hall doors.
Apparently Lisa Brown and Shazney

Montrose were the ringleaders.

How did they get hold of these?

I don't know.

And Lenny has also joined the protest.

Oi mate, you couldn't get a free can of
cider?

Thanks. I'll get yourself some salt
while you're in there.

I knew this exam rubbish wasn't going to
last.

Uni's not for us.

My group was lying to you.

She got it wrong with you.

Give it a go, eh?

And wasted your time.

And we're wasting our time here too.

Do we not think there's something better
to do than drink cider?

Lenny'll go in and get us some.

I've no money.

I've got loads.

No.

Lenny doesn't need any money.

Do you?

Or are you going to bottle that as well?

Hey!

Run!

Um,

how should we deal with this boycott?

Well, I sympathize with them, but
they're truants.

The usual punishments apply.

Um, have you ever done private tuition?

Not since student days, no. What do you
think? Good thing? Bad thing?

Put it this way, without it... Exam
results would suffer. Oh, yes. The fear

failure starts with the parents, passes
to the teachers, and ends up infecting

the kids.

Come in.

Hi. Can I have a word?

Yeah, can it wait till after school,
Justin? I'm a bit busy.

Right. No time.

What a surprise. Yeah, all right, all
right. Just as long as you're quick.

It's about the cafe.

Mr. Leslie says it's closed tonight. I
was just wondering if he'd let me and

Tiffany run it.

I know we're supposed to be supervised,
but I reckon we'll be fine.

I had a personnel issue. Maggie couldn't
cover me and I've got this thing, so...

Mr Loseley, Justin offers his services
very rarely. We would be insane to turn

him down.

Yeah. Yeah, why not?

See you after school.

You are totally useless, Lenny.

Epic fail or what?

Where are you going?

Lenny. I'm going back to school. See you
later.

You're going back to school? Why?

Take a wild guess, Lisa. I've just
nearly been done for shoplifting. You've

failed your exam, Lenny.

There's no point.

You're glad about it?

You're the one that's been making me
think that I'm stupid, that I've just

wasting my time.

And you have been.

I'm just trying to look out for you. I
don't need you to look out for me

anymore.

You wouldn't last two minutes at uni
without me.

We've always done everything together.

Come with me then.

I'm not going back.

No way.

So I'm just supposed to give up
everything?

Oh, to keep you happy?

I'm not surprised they walked.

Finding out you're going to get an E is
not exactly motivating, is it?

Surely we shouldn't worry about letting
the kids know how they're actually

doing. Two no -shows in the geography
exam I wasn't vigilating.

If Vaughan had been happy to tell pupils
their grades, this boycott wouldn't

have happened.

I'm sure it's not like that.

Yeah, but it gets worse.

Vaughan's now correcting for top
teachers earning money from private

I didn't know that.

Ali, I've got a son in London, rent to
pay.

How would he cope going from headteacher
salary to main scale?

My pay's been cut in half.

Sue, I'm really, really sorry about
tonight, OK? I will make it up to you.

You made a commitment. It's all right.

I'll be back about nine, all right? I'll
bring you a takeaway and a bottle of

wine. Don't worry about it.

In fact, I might use that spa voucher
tonight.

Have a bit of me time.

Good idea.

We are married, it's all right.

Enjoy this bar, yeah?

Lenny, where have you been?

Nowhere, miss.

Walking around.

Where are the others?

Lisa and Shaggy wouldn't come back.

You're in trouble, Lenny, you know that.

Just keep me saying I'm sorry about the
test.

Sorry for letting you down.

You didn't let me down, and you came
back. That took a bit of courage, didn't

it?

Nah. It was either that or hanging about
outside the shops.

I bet Lisa tried to talk you out of it.

Don't be harsh on Lisa, miss.

She's just trying to do what she thinks
is best for me.

You sure about that?

She gets it wrong sometimes, but she
does care, really.

It's my fault.

I should have told her about all this in
the first place.

Right, let's get off home.

We'll speak to Mr Fitzgerald tomorrow.

Miss, I know that this might sound a bit
daft, but is there any chance that I

can maybe do my test again?

Hi. Just come to wish you good luck with
Olga.

Thank you.

Planning your ban on private tuition?

News travels fast.

You can't stop teachers doing what they
want in their own time. No, but I can

stop them doing it here, and I can stop
them doing it with pupils from Waterloo

Road.

Sure you want the aggro?

Christine's out for a fight. She can
have one.

There is a principle at stake here.

I'm sure we can come to an agreement.

I'll see you later.

Good luck.

Thank you.

I just want another chance just to prove
to you that I can do this.

You don't have to prove anything to me.

If you had a bit more faith in yourself,
you would have passed that exam today.

I've got it now, Miss. I have.

I promise.

Please. I need to do this.

Please.

Well, you do look a lot calmer.

You realise this would be an unofficial
exam?

The first one would still stand.

Of course.

Well, um...

We'll just do one question, okay? A tale
of two cities.

You've got 45 minutes.

I'll be back in a sec.

What's this?

Lenny's having a go at one of the
English mock questions. Don't worry,

calm.

Christine, did you not spot the signs
today? That kid was out of his mind with

stress.

Yes, he was, and I take full
responsibility for that, but this time

terms. Did nothing I said earlier sink
in? I don't want this pressure on our

students. There's no pressure in there.
Good exam results could be a way out for

Lenny. He wants to be in there. He wants
to do well. No, you're still not

listening. I am the new head.

And I need you to back my decisions.

No, you don't.

You need people around you who will
challenge your decisions.

I know I messed up with Lenny and with
Lisa, and I will put that right. But my

chittering did not cause all the
problems today.

So you think if the students were given
their grades, the walkout wouldn't have

happened?

We'll never know, but maybe next time we
should ask them what they want.

All right. When he finishes, I want him
outside, kicking a ball around,

listening to music, reading a book,
anything except work.

I shall make sure he gets some serious
downtime. I don't want to stop teachers

supporting the students, but they must
all be assessed on an individual basis.

And the tutoring ban?

Will not now take place, but each
request must be approved by the SMT.

Sounds like a fair compromise to me.

We could always try eradicating federal
debt while we're at it. Let's do that

next week.

What are you doing?

It was you, wasn't it?

With the predictive grades.

I'm pleading the Fifth Amendment.

To the head, son.

I won't tell anyone, honestly.

I never tell my dad anything.

He doesn't listen to me anyway.

If you did hack into the school system,
not saying you did, but it would be very

impressive.

No, no, it's not that impressive if you
got the right tools.

Tools? Like software. No, look, mate,
see, I'm very busy at the moment.

Honestly, I won't tell anyone.

You can deny it anyway.

All your old school accounts.

No way.

Are you going to, like, mess them up?

No, no, no, it's nothing like that.

You know, it's just a reminder that I'm
still good at something.

Right.

I've got to sit down.

Well, I don't show it, but you'll have
appreciated what you did.

Yeah, I don't think I'm caught on the
Christmas card list yet.

Now all you have to do is work on my
mum.

Oh, easy.

Justin.

Sorry. What can I get you? A cup of tea,
please.

Do you want to sort that table out?

Harrison said I can go and see Olga.

That's fine, thank you, Mr. Fitzgerald.

Hi, Olga. Hi, Martha.

I need to talk to you about a few
things.

What's wrong? Are the boys all right?
Yeah, yeah, they're fine.

We need to think about the future, Olga.

All our futures.

I'm not sure I like where this is
heading.

I can't afford to keep paying to have
you stay here.

Ali sent you, didn't she?

Well, she's aware of the financial
situation, of course.

I just spoke to Dr Harrison.

He says you're well on the mend.

What a difference a week makes.

Well, I didn't think they should wait
till the morning.

A frolic bee?

No way. Seriously?

Oh, Miss, thank you so, so much. This is
what I've needed, a bee.

And you'll get one.

But we're going to take things easy from
now on. No more all -nighters, OK?

Yeah. Look what the cat dragged in.

You, me lady, have to see Mr Fitzgerald
first thing tomorrow morning.

Can I have a word with Lisa, please,
Maggie?

Be my guest.

Lenny, give us another tea.

I gotta be, I gotta be.

I'm sorry, Lisa.

I may have pushed Lenny and his
shittering, but I also pushed you away.

I presumed you weren't interested, and
that was wrong of me.

I've never had a brother, so I don't
know what it's like to feel like you're

losing him, but I do have a son.

And I know how I felt when Connor left
home.

I never thought it would happen, and
then one day, he's off. Empty house.

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

One day, you and Lenny are going to go
your separate ways.

Job, college, marriage.

Doesn't mean you won't see each other
again.

Yeah, I'd figured that out.

Good.

So you know what Lenny wants and you
know that standing in his way is wrong,

hmm?

I'm going to be tutoring Lenny for a few
more weeks. Maybe I can help you too.

Me?

No way.

Yes way.

Why not?

You could end up at the same uni.

Twenty years.

You know, it doesn't actually hit you
for a while.

The loss.

The pain.

Then it's like waves.

You're a strong woman.

Spare me the platitudes. I don't want to
live on my own. Why should I at my age?

Can you stay with your parents for a
bit?

Your sister.

I'm sure there are some very good NHS
places we could look into.

Funny, isn't it?

I'm in here because of you, and now you
want to kick me out.

I'm not dodging my responsibilities, but
I can't... I won't keep paying for

this.

This isn't really about paying for this
place, is it? No.

It's about moving on.

And you have to come to terms with that,
Holger.

It's over.

Just say it, Vaughan.

You'd be perfectly happy if you never
clapped eyes on me again. No, that's not

true. You should remember, I'm always
going to be in your life.

We have two sons together.

You can't take that away from us. I'm
not taking anything from you.

But I'm with Ali now, and you have to
accept that.

You will get back on your feet.

You're a great teacher.

Okay, I'll try my sister.

Is she still in Newcastle? I'll give her
a ring, see how she thinks.

Okay.

Take a few days.

Make some plans.

Okay. Now you've said what you came to
say, leave me alone.

Are you going to tell the boys?

I'll call you.

I must be teaching any day of the week.

Hector! Sue!

You followed me here?

Yeah, sort of. Sorry about that.

Oh, you're such a stalker. I don't
believe it. Well, at least we're away

the school.

We're alone.

Until somebody comes in.

All I'm going to do is talk.

I've spent every hour and every second
of the last week thinking about you.

Now, I'll go.

I'll walk out the door, I'll never
mention it again if you can look me in

eye and tell me that you don't want me.

And what happened was just that it meant
nothing to you.

to confess, the spa treatment set it all
up.

What, there was no special offer?

I was desperate.

A mate of mine went to the gym and took
the chance of booking a room as well.

You are unbelievable.

You know, I should turn around and leave
this very second.

Evening, all.

Well done.

Want a drink?

Yeah.

Where have you been?

I've been to see your mum.

Leo. Your mum's leaving the clinic.

She's going to live without Nadia. Why?
It's miles away.

Because she's better.

I knew this was coming.

How are we going to visit Mum once we go
away in Newcastle?

Well, she won't be there forever.

She'll be back at work soon and then
she'll go home to Edinburgh.

Go to bed.

I couldn't afford to keep her there.
Your mum knows that.

So, what did Dr Harrison say?

You think she's ready?

As long as she's happy, yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah, I suppose so. That's the main
thing, right?

I think I'll get to bed through.

Night. Night. Night, love.

Night, love.

World War III averted.

Yeah. This is it now.

The start we wanted.

What's that?

I think I'm turning two.

Oh.

Our mum's never going to go to bed.

Are you okay?

I'm proud of you.

That you're really going to kick off.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to be sorry. It's not
your fault.

Anyway, all that matters now is us,
yeah?

Yeah.

Give my all to you.

You're my end and my beginning.

Even when I lose I'm winning.

Because I give you all of me.

Not bad.

What are you on about? It was brilliant.

You should start a band or something.

What? Say they're going to uni.

Good one.

I'll see you in the morning.

Look, Louise.

You know, whatever happens, with uni and
that, I don't think

I'll ever get rid of you.

Night, Louise.

Night.

and they all say that kid came from
nowhere, jumped him.

But he hit back, wouldn't he?

That's not the point.

I've been too soft on him.

You think you don't want to see me
again?

No, I do.

You know, it's like the hardest game of
chess in the world, and I'm just a

stupid little pawn.

You talk to me about going off on my own
and doing what I want, but that's what

you did.

I'm an injector of death.

Mm -hmm.

I can't have fun with it.

You and your ex -wife used to teach at
same school, didn't you?

Must have been tough when the marriage
broke down.
