All language subtitles for Waterloo Road s07e18

It's just me and you. Then we're over.

One and off.

I was wrong to think this could work.

You don't do this to me.

I'm sorry.

You and Michael? Yeah, had a bit of a
fling just before you saw the light, eh,

darling? We crossed the line, never to
be repeated.

At last, we have a headteacher with a
firm hand.

Me and you are going to see a lot more
of each other.

Eh?

Are you fussed over? Isn't it exactly
the first impression I was going for?

you've definitely got your pills.

Yes.

My dad's at our house tonight. I swear
you guys can come round if you want,

innit? Free out?

You know what you shouldn't be thinking.

House party!

Freddie?

Are your alarms all set for your pills?
Yes, I told you. Pills, check.

Stationery, check.

Overbearing mother, check.

OK.

Give us a hug.

What's he doing?

I don't know, would you really let your
mum do that on your first day? Mum,

you're minding new depths of uncool
here. Just back off, will you?

I'll be fine. Sorry, I just... See you
later.

Don't worry, I'll try not to die.

I'll do you proud, Mum.

I promise.

Hello?

Come on, say something.

Coward.

School debate.

Have you seen this? As if I'll not need
instruction on how to argue and answer

back. I think it's a great thing. Show
the kids that they can aspire to

something more.

Exactly. School initiatives are really
positive.

Here, here.

Here, I'll buy you a cup of tea.

You all right?

Yeah, just busy, that's all.

If you need to let off a bit of steam,
you know I am.

You do know what they say, the best way
to lift the stress is right. Thank you.

Just saying.

Oh,

Sean, I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

No problem.

You look tired.

Must be all the late -night rendezvous
at Michael's flat.

I'm sorry?

The other night.

I was there. I saw you both.

OK, everyone.

As some of you know, we have a very
special visitor today.

Waterloo Road has been shortlisted for a
grant of £50 ,000 from a local company.

The managing director's wife, Margaret
Harker... has been observing all the

shortlisted schools and she'll have a
big say in which school gets the final

grant. Now, I think that our debates
this afternoon can be something that

help us shine. Oh, great. So more
scrutiny, more pressure is what we need.

Well, let's show her what Waterloo Road
is all about and that our improving

results aren't just a flash in the pan.

So if you put Stephen Harkins, Nelson
Mandela and Superman into a blender, you

get Mr Burns.

Well, I certainly appreciate your
enthusiasm for your head, but the cheque

hasn't been signed yet.

We'll see how things go.

Margaret.

Welcome to Waterloo Road.

Nice to see you again.

I'm looking forward to what you have to
show me.

Excellent. Are you ready for the grand
tour?

Yes. Hey.

Hiya. Just wanted to let you know I give
notes on the flat.

Right, OK, yeah.

Well, we need to pay last month's rent,
but I'm going to sell the Burmobile.

No, I'll pay. It's fine.

I feel it.

No. Watch it.

Sorry.

I'm furry, by the way. My third day.

So how are you finding life in the land
of the dumped?

You tell me. I'm sick of walking around.

Need to bounce back.

Hey, have you heard about the party
tonight?

Yeah. Let's go and get our hands on some
women.

I really tried to make this place a much
more positive environment.

Inspirational quotes.

positive imagery.

I think it's really important to
encourage these kids to aim higher.

It's all really impressive, Michael.

This is exactly the sort of progressive
thinking that we value at the company.

You know, if things move forward, we
should talk about a joint PR strategy.

It's important that we're seen to be
supporting the local community.

And a school with a celebrity headmaster
is always handy.

Well, as I think you know, it's a team
effort.

Speaking of which, allow me to introduce
one of my deputies, Sian Diamond.

Hello. Hello.

Actually, we have a staff shortage
issue.

The kids have produced some exceptional
artwork this time. Perhaps you'd like to

take a look? It might surprise you. Of
course.

Linda knows.

What?

About us. She saw me at your flat.

What did you say to her? I couldn't say
anything. We were in the staff room.

Jess was there.

Do you think she'll tell him?

I don't know. Let me talk to her. He'll
be all right.

Everything all right?

A couple of supplies have cancelled on
us. But we were hoping that Mr. Bear

might be able to step in and help cover
the debate prep class.

Of course, my pleasure. An added bonus.

I'll get to see the master in action
then.

Yes, I suppose you will.

Well, I'd better get myself prepped,
hadn't I? This way.

Good morning.

Got a busy day ahead, or...? Is there
any other kind?

Miss Radley, do you have a moment?

Yes, of course.

Mr Chalk, would you mind finishing off
the grand tour for me? Me?

Yes, show Mrs Harker around.

Yes, of course. This way, please.

Thank you.

What have you said to Sian?

Didn't take her long to come running to
you, did it?

Linda, I don't know what you think is
going on. Oh, please.

My fault.

I'd appreciate it if you kept this to
yourself.

Don't worry.

Your secret's safe with me.

Anyway, while I've got you, there's this
new lad just transferred in, Freddie

Jackson. He's in my form.

You know, my car got keyed that night.

Sorry? Oh, you wouldn't know anything
about that.

You were quite upset when you left.

Are you serious?

How juvenile do you think I am? I've got
better things to do with my time than

indulge in acts of petty vandalism.

Look, if nothing else, I'm a
professional, Michael. You know that.

Here's Freddie's file.

Why don't we just concentrate on the
important things, hmm?

Here, let me help you.

Oh, thanks.

I'm Freddy.

Rona.

Come on.

Oi. Will your mum get jealous if she
sees you laughing at some other girl?

No, but yours might.

What? Chew your boots. I was only
joking. I didn't mean anything, mate.

your mate.

Oh, you must be Freddy.

You're making new friends already, then?

Knowing how to debate effectively can
put the world in the palm of your hand.

can decide wars, affect the future of
the planet, or just give you the

opportunity to tell Simon Cowell who you
think should be the next number one.

Now, our topic, without law and order,
we have no freedom.

A classic paradox.

Yes.

Teachers put as well as a mummy's boy.

That's right.

Shouldn't that be switched off?

Phil, I'm going to put you in teams of
two to prepare for the debate.

Sir, can we be partners?

I reckon we've got loads to talk about.

Freddie, you've met Phoenix already,
haven't you?

Good! Then you two can be partners.

Right,

I'm expecting great things from you lot
today, so turn to page 31 in your

textbook, and in two, I want you to
complete the experiments that have been

out in front of you, OK?

Have you heard about this party tonight,
then?

Oh, yes, someone mentioned something.

It should be fun. Is anybody going to
let your fam say?

Oh, come on. Who have you got your eye
on?

Actually, I kind of thought I'd started
seeing somebody.

Oh, yeah?

He's just a family friend.

Really? Well, is it serious?

It's early days.

My dad really likes him, so I'm going to
see if I can make it work.

Lucky you.

I wish I could find a decent fella.

You all right, girls?

What's his name, then?

Sorry? This family friend.

Finn, that was a private conversation.

Not private enough.

You don't mess about with you, do you?
Who is he, then?

Guys, we saved the gossip for the
playground, yeah, Finn?

Back to experiment.

What's Judy playing at? I need to let
her go, Finn.

Hey, look, do you know who this guy is?

What? Does it matter?

She likes him, her family like him.

It's just not going to happen for you.

I'm sorry, Mum.

Remember what I told you guys, okay?
Know your subject, keep your focus, but

enjoy it. All right? Have fun.

Wonderful work, Michael. Wonderful.

I'm really looking forward to this
afternoon.

It's nothing revolutionary, really. For
me, it's more a question of making it

relate to them.

I wish I'd had a teacher like you in my
day.

Freddie, what's your next class?

PE. What I want you to do is take all of
that passion and put in maximum

effort. It doesn't matter what people
think. Don't give up.

One thing, I forgot my kit.

First -day knaves and all that. That's
all right. There'll be something for you

in lost property.

Thanks, Dave. OK.

Phoenix, can I have a word for a second?

Do you mind going along to this
bathroom? I'll be right behind you.

You attacked that guy. I saw you.

What do you want?

Go to the police.

Tell them what happened.

It's not that easy, Phoenix. Why not?
Because it isn't.

What is all of this really about,
anyway?

Just go to the police.

What is it, money?

Fine.

There's money, right? Yeah.

Here's a handle there, right? But that's
the end of it. We're done.

Wait a minute.

Where's the footage?

Proud of yourself.

Take it. Get out.

You look lost.

Sort of.

Got the e -net. Right, well, the change
room's this way.

Thank you. You're welcome.

How was your first day going?

Well, what doesn't kill you makes you
stronger, right?

Right.

That must be hard for the new kid.

Maybe we should, like, introduce
ourselves, you know?

Say hi to him, though.

No, no, no, you're fine.

Leave him to it.

Come on, what have you got next?

Oi, Phoenix, you've got to see the
playlist to this party. It's going to be

sick. How many people have you actually
invited?

Don't worry about it.

No, seriously, man, how many?

Just a few.

Oi!

What's wrong?

You got a hair back or something?

I've got to change the voice.

It's done.

There's a problem with the supplies for
my next outfit.

I will show you.

Sorry. I don't think she'll say
anything.

I've got something.

But if other people know, then I have to
tell Jez now.

He can't be the last to hear.

Do you think that's a good idea?

Yes, and he deserves to hear it from me.
It's the least I can do.

I'm going to tell him tonight.

Move it, Spade. Ask for the ball.

Come on. Come on.

What's next?

Could you just wait here just one
minute?

I thought I was supposed to be shadowing
you. What's the matter?

You all

right, son? Freddie?

What's wrong with him?

I'm fine.

Please. I just need to get my breath
back. Why didn't you tell anyone?

I just wanted to do as you told me, sir.

What's going on?

He's in hard condition. What? Why didn't
I know that?

Phoenix, go and get the nurse. We can
play the blame game later.

Mrs. Harker, why don't you come with me?
We'll continue the talk.

Tattoos? Or painting?

I'm not sure.

What do you think?

Tattoos. Really?

Would you ever get one?

Yeah, of course I would.

Would you?

I don't know.

Maybe.

Do you think they're cool?

Yeah, well cool.

Do you?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, welcome.

I'm so going to get one.

Hiya. Phoenix is having a party tonight
because his dad's away.

Do you want to come in?

Yeah. Oh, gosh, you two are worse than
us. I thought we were the only twins at

this school.

Sounds like we need to get some booze
in.

You up for a little lunchtime field
trip, then?

You're lucky he's all right. I've got a
good mind to food.

Mrs Jackson, I... Mum, I'm fine. It was
just a funny turn.

If you knew his medical history, why on
earth... Was he allowed to do PE? It

just slipped through the net.

It slipped through the net?

What happened?

Is everything all right?

This is Miss Radley, Freddie's form
tutor.

And what have you got to say?

Well, I gave Mr Byrne Freddie's file
with all the info.

Unbelievable.

I should go to the press about this.

See how much you like reading about
yourself then. There's no need for that.

Freddie's all right now. The nurse has
checked him over thoroughly.

Well, I'm taking him home. If you think
that's best.

No, Mum, I don't want to go home. You
heard what he said. They checked me out.

I'm fine. Look, I'm happy to keep Freddy
here if that's what he wants.

Absolutely not.

He's coming home where he belongs, where
he's safe.

What, so I can just be a prisoner again?

Freddy?

Mr Jackson. Maybe just give him a
minute.

How much did you know about Freddy?

I had exactly the same info as you had
from the enrolment form.

Do you do this deliberately?

The safety of a child in jeopardy
because of you. Don't flatter yourself.

I gave you his file. I told you to read
it. I did everything right. If you knew

it was that important, you should have
made it 100 % clear.

This is on you.

We tried, but you're obviously not up to
it. Come on, let's get you home. You

know how much this means to me? You know
how much I've been through to get here?

I'm not going back home. Freddie!

I'm not leaving school, I'm staying
here. You try and get me to leave,

have to drag me kicking and screaming.
Then that's what I'll do. If you're not

going to let me live my life, you may as
well just let me die in there.

Right, all right.

I don't want you getting worked up.

You can stay, if that's what you want.

Please, promise me you'll be careful.

Yes.

Just leave me alone, Mum.

Please, OK?

He's staying.

On your head, Bick.

Super head in my arse.

Well, what are you all looking at? Get
inside your classrooms.

Now.

Phoenix, is it true we're having a
massive party at ours tonight?

Yeah, party to end all parties.

That's if we can get our hands on some
cash.

All right, calm down.

Phoenix,

where have you got this money from?

Does it really matter?

Do you want to sit here?

No, I've got to go.

See you.

Come to keep your hubby company again?

Something like that, yeah.

Do you have any plans for this evening?

I was going to have a little kick around
in the park, was that?

What have you got to offer?

I thought maybe we could have dinner
together.

Just the two of us.

Absolutely. Right, the kick around's
just been postponed.

I tell you what, I'll cook.

No, please don't get in any trouble.
Seriously, it's fine.

You can relax and I'll take care of
everything.

Nothing but the best for you and my
love.

Can't wait.

See you then.

You lot, Scarborough.

Go.

How is this?

Well, it's just the old work.

They should understand why I want to get
away from here.

From you.

Do you think any of this is fair? Mr.
Byrne?

What's wrong?

The lad was... Mouthenoff, that's all.

Off you go, Phoenix.

Go!

Thanks, Mouthenoff.

I won't repeat any of what he was
saying, obviously, but we have...

certain standards of conduct here, and
they will be upheld.

Indeed.

Why don't we go to your office?

I was just about to show Mrs. Harker the
delights of the canteen.

Wait.

That's just his way.

Oi, new kid.

Ed, you've got a pig's heart or
something.

Yeah. Is that true, then? Have you got a
car?

What? Can we see it?

What?

No. Leave him alone. He obviously
doesn't want to talk about it. Is it a

heart? Is it a girl's heart? That's mad.

Can he even do that? Now, stop it. Shut
up.

Just leave me alone, all of you.

Oh, please tell me that you don't think
he's still fit.

Hey.

Do what? What in the mood?

What's the matter? You scared or
something?

Scared? Are you?

Totally stupid.

Come on, then.

I'm not going to fight you. Why not, eh?

Come on, why not? I'm not going to fight
some little weirdo with some heart

condition, am I?

Don't start something you can't finish.

Come on.

I said come on!

What is going on with you in Phoenix?

Are you okay?

Just frazzled. All this business with
Freddie. I mean, I really dropped the

there. You know, if we're to stand any
chance of getting this grant... Margaret

isn't stupid. She knows you have a
difficult job and she'll expect a few

curveballs. so much to do with the
debate.

Well, I can help with the debate. Don't
tell me that's what you're stressed out

about.

Are you really going to tell Jez about
us?

You don't want me to.

No, I just... I just worry about what
it'll mean for both of us if it becomes

public knowledge.

We can't keep it a secret forever.

Sorry to interrupt.

Don't tell me there's a meteor headed
for Waterloo Road. Not exactly.

Right, what is it?

Freddie's gone AWOL. What? He drove off
on Phoenix's moped.

And you didn't think to stop him? I will
call Mrs Jackson.

No, don't do that. I'll deal with this.
Where are you going?

I'm going to find him myself.

Michael.

What are we doing here?

Five -finger discount.

You keep guarding.

I'll get the bottle.

That was easy.

That was too close.

But don't worry, he was never going to
catch us.

He won't find us around here.

We should be getting back now.

Oh, come on.

We've just got started.

What, do you rather be stuck in boring
lessons or come and have some fun with

me?

Oh, look.

What a coincidence.

Are you not serious?

You planned this?

What?

I'm not scared, are you?

I just proved so bad for the lad. I
mean, if I'd known he'd had a heart

I never would have let him play
football.

Everything OK, Linda?

Fine.

Actually, no, it's not fine. I know
we're supposed to be on message today,

Michael's really doing my head in.
You're right, Mum. You're refusing to

any responsibility over this business
with Freddie.

You know it's you and me that's going to
get dragged over the cold for this. If

it's not enough that he's got a special
relationship with your wife.

Um, what's that supposed to mean?

Oh, come on. Do I have to draw you a
picture?

You know what?

Behave, Linda.

You're just stirring because Michael
gave you a knockback.

He is.

I've got to get to class.

Don't take any notice of it, mate.

Right, let's get on.

Graham Abbott.

Er... Jodie Allen.

Jodie Allen.

No, sir, she's... she's not here.

Oh, and neither is Emily James.

Ah, Mr Clarkson, I think you should know
as Deputy Head that I have two girls

mysteriously absent.

No prizes for guessing who.

Right, OK, leave it with me.

I'm not too sure about this.

Come on, Scout.

It's going to be dead cool, eh?

A statement.

You and me against the world.

If there's bonded forever.

Yeah.

Does it really hurt as bad as they say?

There's only one way to find out.

It's Skimmel.

Don't chicken out now.

I'm sorry I let you down, mate.

They're looking for you everywhere. What
on earth are you trying to do?

Come on, enough of this. You need to
come back to school now.

I'm not going anywhere.

Do you want your mother to find out
about this? Do you?

No.

No, I don't.

You didn't want to go back to me old
school.

Been two years behind everyone else.

Everyone's staring at me.

Just wanted to be normal.

To be able to go to school like everyone
else. To run around, to muck about,

have a laugh.

Now everyone thinks I'm free.

Oh, you're just different, that's all.

That's okay.

Why don't you come back to the school
and we'll deal with this? I'll help you

whatever way I can.

Just be honest.

People will accept you the way you are.

But you have to give them a chance.

I think we should get that bike back to
its rightful owner.

I wish I was more like Phoenix.

You're much better off as you.

Time to play some music.

Now for you to come back.

As if it's not enough that the two of
you were caught playing truant, again.

We've had a phone call from a shopkeeper
in town.

Said two girls in Waterloo Road uniforms
were seen shoplifting vodka.

Well, it doesn't take Hercule Poirot to
put that one together, does it, given

your previous history?

Hand it over.

He's decided not to press charges. Why I
bothered sticking up for you, I don't

know. What are you fidgeting at? What's
wrong with your arm?

Nothing. Show me.

Show me yours.

Oh, well, this just gets better and
better, doesn't it?

Your mum's going to love this one.

Mrs Harker.

Welcome to our grand finale.

We wondered if you might like to be on
the judging panel.

I'd be honoured. Great.

Where is Mr Byrne, by the way?

One of our pupils has gone off site.

He's gone to get him.

He always goes the extra mile for these
kids.

If there's a problem, he gets involved.

That's just his style.

I'm very lucky to have him.

I think he's lucky to have you.

Well, you know what they say.

Behind every great man is an exhausted
woman.

It's good to see he obviously has the
support of his senior staff.

Full support.

Absolutely.

I've just spoken with Emily's mum.

There's no easy way of saying this, but
she's speaking to social services about

you staying somewhere else.

What? No, she can't do that.

But I want to see Emily.

Where else am I supposed to go?

They're looking into foster care.

No. No, no, please.

Your social worker will be looking after
your best interests.

It's out of my hands.

I'm sorry, Scout.

But you brought this on yourself.

Before you say anything, I shouldn't
have taken your bike. I'm sorry. After

this, you're finished.

Heart condition or not, mate.

Let's sit down now, please.

Is there a problem, Phoenix?

It could be for someone.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means I'm going to be up there with a
microphone.

And a video projector.

I wouldn't dare.

Wouldn't I?

Good afternoon, everyone.

I'd like to thank you all very much for
coming. A very warm welcome to the

Waterloo Road School debate. Now, for
those of you unfamiliar with how this

works, Our students will debate in teams
of two, one to take the affirmative and

one the negative.

The students will be graded by both
myself and our judging panel, and the

will count towards their final English
grades. So, without any further ado, I

suggest we begin. The West uses the
excuse of freedom to run amok all over

Middle East.

They've tried to bring democracy to
these countries.

And look what's happened.

Violence, death, civil unrest. Maybe
democracy is worth those sacrifices.

But surely that's just ideological
imperialism. Or maybe the values are

stupid.

Maybe the beliefs are outdated.

Maybe some people need someone from
outside to come and open their eyes.

You're only capable of seeing things
from your cultural perspective. Maybe

only capable of seeing the truth.

People should have the freedom to choose
what they really want, not be dictated

to.

Till the end.

I just hope tonight.

We're gonna dance.

We'll be friends.

Till the end.

I just hope tonight.

Feminism paved the way for female role
models such as Lady Gaga, Madonna and

Katy Perry. From the suffragettes to
Cheryl Cole, women are leaders now.

Freedom for women is a good thing.

Go girl power!

Well done, girls. Very interesting point
of view.

Now to our next debaters, Phoenix and
Freddie. Would you like to present your

rebuttal, please?

I'd like to remind you to stick to the
subject.

Will I use visual aids? Absolutely not.
Shame.

Because I had something prepared. Well,
you can't use it!

Freddie, your rebuttal, please.

Feminism is one kind of freedom, but
freedom means different things to

people.

Look, a lot of you don't know me. It's
my first day here.

But to me, just being here, being able
to run, to play footy, I mean, it

probably seems like nothing to you, but
I've been dreaming about it.

To me, this is freedom.

You take it for granted every single
day.

I know you've all heard stuff about me.

So if you really want to know, I'll just
show you.

I had an heart transplant.

A human heart from another boy.

James Andrew O 'Connor.

He was driving back from a training
session with his dad.

They got him to do a crash on the
bypass.

Drunk driver.

He was in a coma.

He died.

He was a boxer.

Someone gave their life to give me the
freedom I now have.

And I suppose, to some extent, I've been
trying to live his life.

To carry on where he left off.

I wish I could be like James.

But I can't live a lie.

And I can only be me.

Well done, Freddie. Really,

very well done.

That's it.

Thank you, Mr. Byrne.

So, a huge round of applause for
everyone involved this afternoon. Thank

The panel will now retire and work out
the grades for everyone involved.

If you listen carefully, you should be
able to hear the sound of 50 grand being

flushed out the toilet.

Well, that was, uh, interesting.

Well done.

Something in the air today.

Poor lad.

Bad enough I've been heart trouble at my
time of life, but it is age.

I don't know.

Affairs of the myogenic muscular organ,
eh?

You fancy a drink later?

What, really?

Unless you... No, the pub's perfect.
I'll see you there.

It's all a bit of a mess in there, isn't
it?

Yeah, well, we did our best under
difficult circumstances, so... Let's go

and have a little bit of wine, eh?

I can't tonight.

Something's come up.

Yeah? With who?

One of my uni mates.

She got dumped.

I said I'd go round and take care of
her.

I tried to get out of it, but it was,
you know, difficult, so... Well, another

night.

What the hell is going on? Are you all
right?

Leave me alone.

Who do you think you are?

I don't think I wanted any of this to
happen.

Do you?

You don't understand the situation.

You've no idea how complicated this is.
William Johnson is an animal.

I just... Not enough of you trying to
blackmail me now. You sent me a... What,

funeral wreath? What was all that about?

You want me dead, is that it? I don't
know what you're talking about.

Oh, come on. Frank Hall's a threat.

Frank Hall... Stop it. Stop it.

Are you all right?

Yeah. Let's not go home.

Is he all right? Phoenix, go home.

Michael?

No, a walk.

Okay. A walk.

See you in a bit. Ready?

Yeah. Look, I'm really sorry for
earlier.

Right. So, how do you plan to come to a
party?

Yeah. Mm -hmm.

I'll see you later, all right?

Listen to me.

Wherever they put you.

They're not going to keep us apart,
okay?

What if I don't get to see you? I can
end up in another school, another city.

I've told you, I don't care where you
end up.

I'm not going to lose you. I can't
believe this is happening.

We're only having a laugh.

Why are you really upset, Scout?

What?

I mean, are you upset about going into
foster care?

Or are you upset about leaving me?

I'm upset about leaving you.

I've already lost one sister.

I'm not going to lose another one.

This isn't just about Phoenix mouthing
off. Clearly something is going on

between you two.

It's complicated. Tell me.

I think someone's stalking me.

What?

Oh, you know about the break -ins, but
that's not the half of it.

I've had my car keyed.

All kinds of threats. Crank calls in the
middle of the night. Now this.

Why didn't you say something before?

I... I didn't think I could trust
anyone.

You can trust me.

Someone can be strong all the time,
okay?

I told Jess I'm busy tonight.

You're not going to tell her? No, I am,
just not tonight.

Well, there's not a chance that Linda
doesn't think anything.

I think we should maybe get away. You
know, book a hotel somewhere that you

relax and get a good night's sleep.

Michael.

Hold on a second.

Margaret, hi.

Come in.

Is everything all right, Michael? I've
been looking for you.

If I didn't know better, I'd think you
were trying to avoid me.

Of course. Sorry.

We were having a debrief.

Actually, I was meaning to come and find
you. I wanted to apologise for the way

I've been behaving. I'm sorry if I
seemed...

Yes. Well, actually, I've been dealing
with some issues outside of my work

but I hope you'll agree that the entire
school, students and teachers alike,

have put on a great show for you. And I
can promise you hand on heart that any

investment here will be well used and
everyone will reap the rewards tenfold.

I'm sorry, but on the basis of what I've
seen today, I'm afraid I'm not going to

be able to recommend Waterloo Road for
the grant.

Thank you for your hospitality.

As you say, there's some real potential
here with these kids.

And Mrs. Diamond is a real asset to your
team.

But as a headteacher, frankly, you need
to leave your own troubles, whatever

they may be, outside the door.

Look, I know today wasn't my finest
hour, but there are mitigating

circumstances. We were short staffed.
I've got kids playing true and left,

and centre.

The decision is final, Michael.

I'm sorry.

Look, I've been thinking and I want to
give you this towards the end.

How?

The Burmobile turned out to be a better
investment than you thought.

Thanks, but it's all right, I can get
the money.

I'm not your problem anymore.

You take care, Vince.

Steady on.

Cheers for letting me come, Phoenix.

I hope I can be made.

Yeah, sure.

Whoa!

All right, all right.

Who wants to go outside and play Ice to
See Ya?

Yeah? Come on.

Ready?

Steady.

Go!

Now I'm only falling apart.

There's nothing I can do.

Not really my thing.

Me neither.

Why don't we just skip the preamble and
go and have a night of wild, passionate

sex?

Always like June.

I'm showing up.

quest, do we?

To ask.

Oh, this is ridiculous.

Look at all these birds.

We've got to sort our heads out, get
back in the game.

Obviously not over, Vicky.

I'm not up to being your rebound.

It's not like that. Oh, really?

Yeah, I admit that I'm having a crap
time for it at the moment, but that

mean that I don't like you.

Right, well, let's not rush things,
yeah?

And you need to look after Finny, he's
wasted.

I'm going home, all right?

I wonder what's going on with Mr. Byrne
today.

He seemed to have a meltdown. Honestly,
he's mad.

Excuse me.

I just want to let you know that you
look really fit tonight.

And you're drunk.

So what?

Finn, come on.

Finn, just get off.

Finn,

come back, mate. Leave me alone.

Five to one.

What's all this?

Taking some bets.

What on? On when we think Mr. Burns is
going to quit.

The guy's obviously cracking up.

You've seen him in the debate today.

He's a goner.

You want him?

What?

I'll tell you what. I'll give you ten to
one and you have a coming back.

This is great.

I don't know why he wants to give up all
this just to join the army.

I'm not going to that army, mate.

What?

I thought you were dead set on it.

Nah, I never really wanted to join up.

I just didn't want to be here.

Freddie!

Are you alright?

I'm alright.

Honestly.

I feel like they're going to kill me.

How am I paying for any damage? Look,
don't worry about it. The house part, if

anyone was bound to throw up or break
something at some point.

They kind of killed two birds with one
stone.

Are you going to be all right, though?

Yeah.

I think so.

Look,

Freddie, not everything in life has to
be a competition, you know.

Why don't you just take some time and
chill out a bit?

I just wanted to show people. Look, I
know what he was trying to do, but you

can't do it all in one day.

Do you remember what he said in your
speech?

I'm sorry about today, Freddie. I really
should have stuck up for you.

No, but it's perfect, right?

Right.

It's all my fault.

This whole school was counting on me and
I blew it. You're only human.

If it didn't work out this time, there
will be other opportunities.

I don't know what I would have done
without you seeing the issue.

You don't have to come, you know.

I'll be all right.

I want to...

I

love you, Sean.

You know that.

We're gonna say we say it.

We see the black heels around the fire.

Feel the night air in perfect darkness.

Perfect darkness is all I can see.

Deep water, stay under.

See it rolling over your head and just
roll with

it.

Until it's all good, yeah.

You're through to Sean. I'm unavailable
right now, but leave me a message and

I'll get back to you when I can. Deep
water, a little deeper than you thought.

Feel it going over.

I think you've got the wrong idea. No!

You've definitely got the wrong idea.

Has Michael been staying at the Regency
Hotel?

Um, no. And if he had, I'd know about
it. And you can't be here.

Well, I found the answer.

You went all the way? Yeah.

I'm not a virgin anymore.

Thanks for loving me. Look, nothing
happened.

So what if it did, man?

It didn't. It's Michael, isn't it? You
were with him last night.

God!

Next tonight here on BBC One, if you
want impressions that have the X factor,

we've got two yeses.
