Yo, get the music on, man. Let's start
working these moves.

Yeah, while it's doing well, it goes
better.

Break it down.

What I saw was assault we're only
messing you're itching yeah

Well, maybe he's one of those kids who
doesn't like being buttered about the

head.

I saw you do it, Michaela.

No, you never.

Ask him.

I don't need to ask him. Yeah, you do,
because I didn't hit him, and he'll say

the same.

Miss, we're only having a laugh.

Won't we, Shane?

Shane, wait!

Oof! You've upset him.

Is that how you get your kicks, is it?
By taking advantage of someone younger

and smaller than you?

Well, Mr Clarkson will be having a wee
word with you when you get into school.

Oh, what's with her?

For God's sake, man, aren't you

black? I said, aren't you black, you
muppet?

You've got your routine started, then.

Stand back and see how it's done.

You're a good boy, Shane.

Yeah. I think I'm beginning to like you.

Here, take these. They're yours.

Oh, there's Davina.

Didn't recognise her with her clothes
on.

Very funny.

I don't know.

Does Davina keep a scorecard, you know?

You never know where she's going to pop
up next.

Oh, look at Lawton, daft four by four.

What, are you looking for a herd of
lions?

Er, pride.

Yeah, ego more like.

It's pathetic.

Spending all that money just to show
off.

No, er, pride.

Collective noun.

It's all macho crap.

Depo. An extension of a certain part of
his anatomy, I'd say.

Sorry, what's that thing you come to
school in, Beth?

Skateboard?

Hey, his burns twice what mine does. You
can't have a go about Lawson's car,

then drive one yourself.

Which is why I'm thinking about selling
it.

Oh, so someone else can drive it.

God, that is so green.

Bridget, have I missed an email from
Stuart Hordley? No.

What, still no word from Stuart?

Well, it's a massive project, Eddie. You
know, there's all sorts of things

involved.

Like? I don't know. I'm not a builder.

Well, he's still going to let us know
what's going on. We don't want to

these kids any more than necessary.
Hasn't he submitted some sort of

check? Eddie, could you please just stop
going on?

I'm sorry.

No one wants this to run smoothly as
much as I do.

Beginning to have me doubts about this
bloke.

I think he might be a bit of a git.

After all the support you've given him,
he can't even let you know what the plan

is. Excuse me? All this support?

Yeah, you know.

Well, he might not have got this gig if
it wasn't for you. Hang on. He got this

gig because his bid was best. End of,
OK?

Yeah, if you say so.

Right. Even though I've had to call him
a hundred times, I ain't going to get an

answer out of this man.

Well, it would be Michaela White,
wouldn't it?

She's a vicious little madam.

She was really laying into him. I tried
to get to the bottom of it, but Shane

just ran off. Yeah, well, Shane
Warwick's no altar boy.

He looked pretty terrified to me.

Right. Well, thanks, Jeff. Listen, fill
out an incident form, and I'll sort it

from here, OK?

Yeah. You'll get chapter and verse.

And, you know, the sooner we don't have
to teach cretins like her, the better.

Well, why has he missed his start date?

I mean, this is getting farcical. He
doesn't understand we have to plan

it. Oh.

Six. New messages.

Yeah, they're all from me.

Little matter of a training school
you've been paid to build.

I've been in a meeting all morning.

I've got a subcontractor who's trying to
play me off against another developer.

I called his bluff.

Well, to cut a long story short, the
diggers move in tomorrow.

About time.

That's really great news. We're very
glad.

Good.

Rachel, I'd like to speak to you about a
personal matter, if I may.

I'll get back to my day job.

Look, I'm really not happy about what
transpired between the two of us, and I

would like to explain why I did what I
did.

Well, why don't you start off with a
word?

Blackmail, Stuart.

I understand how you must be feeling,
given that you think you compromise

yourself. Think?

However, I would like the chance to
explain myself.

You can't refuse me dinner.

Can you?

Morning. Morning.

Coffee? No, thanks.

Yeah, I'll have one.

I finished up an application form last
night.

Ah, fantastic.

So you're going for it? Yeah.

Do you feel like celebrating?

I promised Chloe and Mika supper.

The new pizza place.

I'd love you to come.

It's just, you know, the girls, it's
awkward, isn't it? I'll tell you what.

I'll wear a shirt but I'm right up to my
neck just for Mika.

Right. Say, um, 7 .30.

I'll warn the girls.

Sounds positive -ish.

Yeah, great.

A night of sharing a deep band -aid with
him and the girls. I'll tell you what,

they've got him on a string.

It's enough to put you off kids for
life.

Yeah. I've had my fair share of one girl
in particular today.

Who? Michaela White.

All right.

Well, I was trying to see the best in
the kids, but that one is a right

little cow.

I've pretty much told her that myself
this morning.

Bullied? No way, sir.

We were just having a laugh.

Well, Miss Goreshi says different. She
doesn't know what she's talking about.

Drop the cheeky tone, Shane. Well, she
doesn't. She went crazy and threw

Michaela against the car.

Miss Goreshi did?

Yeah, she did. She never even asked any
of us what we were doing.

Honestly, if I was being bullied, I'd
tell you.

OK, so, the most important thing we've
learnt from our interviews?

First impressions.

We make our minds up about people pretty
much five seconds after we meet them.

So, what's that tell us?

Paul?

Best talk first, then.

Faster, slow.

It's our manner, our gestures.

You know, the look on our face in those
first few moments.

Right, OK.

Bolton, pretend Miss Qureshi is someone
you've never met before, OK? When she

walks in the room, show us how you greet
her.

What do you mean, like I really would?
Yeah, absolutely.

Yes, yes.

Yeah, all right.

No,

no, hang on, guys, that wasn't bad. It
was open, friendly, confident.

Now, pretend this woman was...

The mother of someone that you're going
out with or someone that you've never

met before but you really want to
impress.

You'd adapt your style, wouldn't you?
Make it less excitable, a bit more

Paul?

Go on.

You all right?

Yeah, brief to the point, certainly.
Right, why don't Miss Koreshi and I show

you what we mean? OK.

Eye contact.

I look the person I'm meeting in the
eye. I extend my hand.

Good morning. I'm Matt Wilding. How nice
to meet you.

Good morning, Matt.

Firm grasp.

We shake once. None of this.

Yeah? All right. And then we let go.

Right. You want to give it a crack?

Come on. Come on. Let me go.

Michaela, why don't you shake hands with
Miss Gresham?

Mr. Ashy, can I have a word?

Say that, sir.

All right, settle down.

I hope you don't believe him.

No, but he did say he saw you throw her
against the car.

I had to drag her off him. She was
beating him up.

Everybody knows Michaela's a bully.

It's a good job I didn't slap her one.

Look, is there any way it could have
just been kids mucking about?

She was exposing his arms to the car
window and mucking him around the head.

I thought we took bullying seriously in
this place. Yes, of course we take it

seriously.

It's just that Shane's pretty sure that
they were just having a laugh.

No, it was bullying, pure and simple.

I'm not doubting you.

It's just with the likes of Michaela and
Shane, what am I supposed to do?

I'm going to have a word with Michaela.
I just wanted to touch base with you

before I did.

Well, I'll go and get her.

I can't even bear to look at her.

Morning, Mr Horsley.

Stuart.

Actually, I'm a bit late. I've been up
half the night making phone calls.

You know, trying to raise funds for the
school from kindly benefactors.

Oh, of course, yeah. Anyway, looks like
I've got myself one in the flesh now.

Oh, come on.

It's no secret that you're not short of
a bobbity.

Well... Hey, don't be embarrassed about
it. You should be very proud of

yourself. You know what you've achieved.

Why do I get the feeling this is leaving
somewhere?

We are looking for rich folk like
yourself to donate funds to Waterloo

School by way of a cheque.

I'm sorry, I don't have my cheque with
me today.

Well, as it's you, then a simple promise
will suffice.

What can I put you down for?

Let's say... £1 ,000?

Come on.

It's probably not even your weekly
entertainment bill.

Hardly. Listen, you are Miss Mason's
favourite businessman.

And I can assure you that she would be
very grateful.

Well, in that case, let's make it £2
,000.

I'm just repaying Miss Mason's
generosity.

Funny how great minds think alike.

Well, you wanted to see me, and I wanted
to see you.

Yes, well, here we are.

You go first, then.

Well, as you know, I'm a keen observer
of staff movements, and I can see that

certain members of staff have had their
roles enhanced. Steph Haydock, for one.

And, er... I... Just... Well, I can see
the way that you're taking the

school.

And a certain amount of fluctuation is
part and parcel of any dynamic

organisation.

Well, have you got anything specific in
mind?

Well, I just thought that as a senior
member of staff, there might be an

opportunity.

For me to contribute to the development
of the school.

Granny, that is really great to hear.

And it's quite a coincidence, because
that's exactly why I wanted to see you.

Come, come sit down.

Come on.

Now, a little bird told me that you have
got a hidden talent.

And I want you to share it with the
Lessons for Life group.

We want you to teach him ballroom
dancing.

How did you find out? You can't be
serious, no.

Ballroom dancing? To that lot?

SP in history rolled into one.

Oh, and how does that compare to Madame
Haydock's appointment as financial czar?

It doesn't.

No, thank you. I'll stick to being head
of English.

Yeah, well, that is on my to -do list.

We're looking at staff restructuring in
the next few months. The present

structure doesn't fulfil its purpose at
all.

Less than six, Grantley.

But, sir, she just went mental. She
threw me against the car.

Yeah? Because you provoked her? That's
crap.

Ask Sasha and Andrews. They'll tell you
what happened.

They're your mates, aren't they? So
they're going to say what you tell them.

Bang out of order, sir. I'm not lying.

Ask Shane. He'll tell you what she did.

You might want to wipe those tears.

And that innocent smirk on your face.

Now, get.

Let me deal with this.

Hi, Bridget. Can you put me through to
Rachel, please?

Sir, this practical.

Decimal equivalent is 1 .52 to 3
significant figures.

And? Well, that's just it.

It's outrageous.

It's just another one of your irritating
wind -ups, Brad.

The numerator is the CO2 emissions from
your car in kilos per year.

The denominator is the average household
emissions over the same period. Your

car emits 1 .52 times as much as the
average UK household.

Can we discuss this another time,
please?

Do you know there's not one teacher here
who comes to school on a bike?

Yeah, because if they did, they'd get
nicked. Anyway, you're a fine one to

Jeep boy.

Point taken.

But my car comes off the road today.

Forever.

What about you?

Out.

Tom, I think you did exactly the right
thing.

Well, why don't you let me have a word
with her?

I'm sure she was overreacting.

Tom, I've got to go.

Yeah.

Who's done what to you?

Cocky little sod.

Showing off to me, Cagranger.

Brett Aspinall.

Ambush me about me car. Why am I driving
a planet boiler when I could be

flogging round on a pushbike?

Well, that's the trouble we're teaching.
We give them a set of values, and

before we know it, they're making us
live by them.

You're next on the list, believe me. Oh.
The new build.

Make sure it's a green Paragon or
they'll have you.

That's £2 ,000 in the kitty.

Thanks to Stuart Hordley. 2 ,000. That's
very generous.

Well, I had to work me magic on him, of
course, but that's what you'd expect

from a finance director, even one who
doesn't have her own office, who so far

has cost more than she's made.

It takes a little time to make contacts,
Rachel.

Talking of which, any word from Claude?

Oh, that's why I'm so bleary -eyed.

I was on the phone to him last night for
over an hour. So if we get a penny for

every minute you spend talking to him,
we could double everybody's wages.

I can't raise money for these capital
projects of yours without speaking to

people.

Well, well, well.

Mr. Hordley seems like he's a man out to
impress.

And your point is?

Well, it's strange.

He might have a bit of a thing for you.

No, he doesn't.

He might have a bit of a... Don't even
go there.

Carry on.

Hi. Well, what did she say?

Rachel. Has she spoken to you? No,
Michaela.

Right, yeah.

Look, she's sticking to her story. I
don't think we're getting anywhere here.

But have you spoke to Sasha and Angie?

No. I've mentioned it to Rachel. She
might want a word with you.

I just think you might be making him out
and out of a mole in there. I mean,

don't panic.

I hear you're contributing to our
Lessons for Life scheme.

In a way, that doesn't include racing
tips.

I might have known you'd be behind this
madness.

Something of an expert, I'm told.

I'm doing it as a favour. A one -off.
God knows where she got the idea from.

Well, it pushes all the right buttons
for our Lessons for Life, kids.

Poise, discipline, etiquette.

All those key qualities we see in you,
Grantley, in such abundance.

I'm way too rusty to be teaching anybody
ballroom dancing techniques.

Then buy a tin of Brasso.

See you lesson six.

I'll need a partner.

Then find one.

I just can't believe she's going to get
off with a scot -free.

She's a thug and she should be excluded
permanently.

Yeah, we know that. But unfortunately,
we can't accuse the girl without

evidence. A flaming thought.

Oh, you don't believe me either, do you?

I believe that you reacted to something
you saw, or you thought you saw. But

maybe next time, you know, think before
you barge in.

I did what anybody else would have done.

Yes, but you're not anybody else, are
you? You're a teacher.

And you learn with experience. You know,
sometimes it's better to take a step

back. Oh, then it's all my fault.

Don't go getting so defensive.

No, just think about it.

You know...

Maybe your actions have given Michaela
the chance she needs to back up her

story. Oh, I'm sick of this.

Shane!

Can I have a quick one with Shane,
please?

Are you all right?

Yeah, fine.

Shane!

Come here.

What's he done?

Why didn't you tell Mr Clarkson the
truth? I did.

Are they threatening you, Shane?

Well, what is it? No thing.

So you tell Mr Clarkson it was all a big
joke?

Yeah, it was.

She was beating you around the head and
nearly breaking your arm.

Remember that?

They are serious.

You persuaded me.

Yeah?

Quit my conscience.

So you have got one, then?

Proof.

Could have got five grand for that.

But it is better to have principles and
no money than money and no principles.

I want Lawson to see this.

I want Lawson to do the same thing.

Although he might take a bit more
persuading.

Jane says to say hello.

You might have fooled everyone else, but
you haven't fooled me.

You're a coward and a liar.

And you two choose to hang around with
her.

She's definitely got envy.

Swing a punch at me.

Eh?

Daft. I mean it. Do it.

You both saw Qureshi punch me, didn't
you?

You got a minute?

Sure.

I've just had a huge vote of confidence
from Rachel about the way I dealt with

Michaela White this morning.

Thanks for all your support.

Just let it go. Let it go? What did you
say to Rachel?

Let me guess. Did you use the words
overreaction and inexperience by any

All I said was we can't prove anything.

I told you Michaela's a slippery
customer.

It's not a reflection on you. I believe
you.

I've just seen the spiteful wee cow now
winding me right up.

Don't let her get to you.

OK?

She's a wrong one.

Simple as that.

A run?

That sounds like a compliment.

She's the born we're like.

I need an interpreter now.

Come on, let me get you a cup of tea.

I'm sorry, girls, it's just too easy to
accuse teachers of assault.

Must be some explanation.

Yeah, Koreshi punched me once. Well,
obviously I don't know that.

Can you believe this?

You're like a gang of something sticking
up for each other.

What do you think this is, paint?

I can see what it is. Well, maybe I
should just go straight to the police,

I did not say that there wasn't going to
be an investigation.

Yeah, well, there better be.

Carissa should be sad for what she did
to me. Any more cheek from you and

going to the cooler.

So I get punished for getting hit?

Right, you two girls, back to class.
You, Michaela, you wait here.

Can I have some water, please?

No way.

Somebody must have told her about my
misspent you. Wasn't you, was it?

No.

Look, why don't you go and ask one of
the other women?

No. No, they don't have your elegance,
your... your je

ne sais quoi.

My brass neck, you mean.

Last year's Friends of Waterloo Road
dinner dance, didn't I see you tearing

the dance floor with some young chap
who'd made it big in IT?

Oh, yeah.

As I recall, we were rather good
together.

Repeat the performance with me.

What music are you using?

I don't believe it.

Jasmine hasn't got it in her to assault
a pupil.

Well, Shane Watts' name says she threw
Michaela up against a car, right?

Maybe I shouldn't say anything.

I know it was just a throwaway remark.

Tom, I need to know all the facts.

Jasmine did say that she could slap
Michaela on.

Join the queue, so could I.

I saw for myself how angry Jasmine was.
Look, we need to investigate this

formally. Get them written statements
from Michaela and her little gang.

I'll get them to tell the truth.

You will play it by the book.

They're setting her up. We need to be
seen to be fairer than fair on this. It

the best way to protect Jasmine.

Tom, I want you to re -interview Shane,
yeah? We've got to know that Jasmine saw

what she claimed she saw.

Right.

Offering money.

Eddie!

And I guess I will call the parents.

I expect they're upstanding members of
the community, just like their daughter.

You're pushing your luck here, matey.

Stephanie, if we are going to perform in
front of the knuckle -draggers, let's

at least make sure we don't fall on
our... Ah.

One, two, three. One, two, three. One,
two, three.

Step right to shadow pose forward. Step
right. Step back. And foot change.

Twinkle to flip -flop position.

Twinkle to what? Oh, look, it's a
Viennese waltz variation.

Oh, for crying out loud, why can't we
just do that slow, slow, quick, quick,

slow thing?

Oh, that quick, quick, slow thing is a
rhythm.

It's a system. It is not a dance.

Oh, okay, basic V &Es.

What now?

Oh, this had better not be for me.

Yeah.

Heavily playing in time.

We'll reconvene at lunchtime.

Oh, I can hardly wait.

Sorry to interrupt the fun and games.

but I've been given the dubious pleasure
of covering your class.

Miss Mason wants you in her office.

Why? What does she need me for?

Just one question, Jasmine.

After we spoke this morning, did you
confront Michaela White?

Oh, I didn't. I didn't go looking for
her, if that's what you mean. But you

found her. Well, she was provoking me.

So I just said what I thought. I know it
was stupid. Look, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. It's way too late for
regrets.

Michaela's accusing you of assault.

No way.

There's no way I assaulted her.

I cannot begin to tell you how serious
this is, Jasmine.

Oh, Rachel, please, you've got to
believe me. It doesn't matter what I

The girl's got a cut on her face.

What? Yes, and two witnesses say they
saw you hit her.

Oh, she's lying.

Her mates are lying.

I advise you to talk to your union rep
as soon as possible about this.

Michaela's dad's coming to see me.

We're going to have to institute formal
proceedings, Jasmine.

And so what's going to happen with me?

Well, I hope if you're telling me the
truth... F!

I don't want to lose you.

And I hope to goodness that that doesn't
happen.

But you have to understand, striking a
child is gross professional misconduct.

But I didn't hit her!

Tread carefully, you lot.

Because if you're in the business of
having it in for Miss Qureshi, trust me,

we'll find out.

In case you don't know, providing false
statements is not only wrong, it's a

criminal act.

Well, you want us to tell the truth or
not, sir?

Back with us.

All for having a laugh?

What are you going to do, Dad?

Get out of jail.

Mr. White, I presume.

That's right.

Dad of the assaulted girl.

Alleged assaulted girl. She'll need to
be in class.

You haven't been to the school before,
have you, Mr. White?

I'll take you to the headteacher's
office.

No, no, no, no, no, no!

When that left toe hits the floor, you
should be backing straight down the line

of dance. Don't suddenly drop your heel
like that. I'll drop you in a minute.

That is it. Find yourself another
partner. I'm off for a butty. No, Steph.

No, no, no. Look, you're doing great.

You've got the natural turn off to a
tee.

And it's a tricky dance to master.

Hey, I'm impressed.

Honestly. Then why are we teaching it to
the likes of Bolton Smiley and Michaela

Flaming White?

Look, let's get the reverse turn sorted.

Right? Now, it's a mirror image of the
natural turn with the right interchanged

with the left.

See the big difference there? It was on
the third step.

Right.

Have you thought about how you're going
to end up going out of a car?

Er, walk?

Cycle? I quite put the cycle in if you
wanted some company.

You mean you wouldn't try and run me up
the road?

God knows what my bike's like.

I've not been on it for years. It
probably needs repairing or something

that. Well, I could take a look at it if
you like.

Come round after school.

Yeah, why not?

Oh, yeah, I would say that, wouldn't
they?

They're best friends.

No, they're not.

That's not what Michaela's about.

Well, whatever they are, don't worry.

Even today, with the whole establishment
against the teaching profession, it's

still relatively hard to sack a teacher.

But Rachel said if they can prove it,
she's going to get rid of me.

Yeah, well, she'd be daft.

You're one of the best teachers this
school's got.

I wouldn't send my kids to a school
where the teachers hit their pupils.

Wouldn't you?

Why do you think we're in the state
we're in? There's not enough hitting.

Well, that attitude from her union rep's
really going to help.

You don't think I did it, do you, Tom?

You do, don't you?

Well, go on, spit it out. Everybody else
does. No, of course he doesn't. Look,

I'm not going to pretend it's going to
be easy for you.

I talked to Shane again. He's sticking
to his guns.

I'm sorry.

Well, if the worst comes to the worst,
we'll claim it was an accident.

No, I'm not lying. Just let me do the
talking.

I don't want you incriminating yourself.

Well, I hope you're going to sack her.

Well, not until we find out exactly what
happened.

Have you seen my daughter's face?

What do you think happened? Did she
punch herself?

She might have done.

I'm not putting up with this. I'm going
to get the police.

Oh, hang on. I don't think it's in
anyone's interest to involve the police.

It is if I get justice for my daughter.
Don't the police already know about your

daughter, Mr White? I'm just as shocked
about this as you are.

I've already told the teacher herself.

If it's true, she has no future at
Waterloo Road.

Miss Lawson's collecting written
statements from your daughter and from

friends, and we're interviewing Miss
Qureshi directly after this.

It seems obvious to me she's done it.
That's what they said about the

six. I don't like your attitude, mate.

Well, luckily, I'm conducting this
investigation, and I promise you that I

get to the truth of what happened.

You'd better.

I'm reading these.

Sit down, Jasmine.

This won't take long.

Naturally, we deny all the trumped -up
allegations that the little scallywags

brought.

This is all a load of rubbish.

Well, they have all said exactly the
same thing.

Exactly is the right word.

She threw O -U -G -H.

Threw her... God help us, they've even
spelt the same words wrong.

She threw her arm right back and
battered me.

Battered Michaela.

Oh, look.

All three exactly the same words,
exactly the same construction.

But there aren't too many ways to
describe what happened.

Nothing happened.

They all chose battered. Why?

Because they collaborated on it.
Exactly.

Constructing a little lie.

To ruin a teacher's career is almost a
sport for them.

I certainly wouldn't put it past them.

Nor would I.

Can't we look into this?

Get them on their own, put the pressure
on, they'll soon crack.

No, we can't, Eddie, we won't do that.

Look, we operate in a world, as you all
know, where teacher's word equals the

pupil's. And we're paying the price for
that every single working day.

Oh. I don't like it myself, Granny. That
is the way it is. Only we have got

three pupils' words.

I'm sure they wrote this all together,
but unfortunately to the outside world,

it's a significant indictment.

She deserves to get chucked out anyway
after what she said to me.

Can't we discover everything?

Yeah, she is a cow and I hate her.

But she looks dead scared.

Suppose she does lose her job over this.
It's going to be our fault.

She's a stupid school teacher.

There's millions of schools she can go
to, most of them nicer than this.

Suppose they find out.

What? That we've been lying our faces
off. Well, the only way they're going to

find out is if you tell them. And you
know what will happen if you do.

Jasmine, I'm suspending you with
immediate effect.

The terms of the suspension are
explained fully in here.

They require you to leave the premises
and not to return until instructed to do

so by me.

And you remain on full pay.

This is the last thing I thought I'd be
doing.

Well, don't do it.

It sends out all the wrong signals to
them out there.

This has worked out for my life.

You know, I can't believe I'm being
punished for something I didn't do. It's

about being found guilty.

No -one in this room thinks you are.

It's only a week, just so that we can
investigate this properly.

Why that little gang of thugs isn't
suspended too is beyond me.

I have to agree with Grantley.

Jasmine, this is a neutral position
here. It's a way of diffusing the

I know you must be feeling absolutely
gutted, and I am really sorry.

You're a very promising teacher.

It's procedure.

It's a complete farce.

I've got to sort out a lesson plan for
tomorrow. Leave it, Jasmine. Grampy will

do it.

My year nines are watching a DVD and
I've got to set it up. We'll call it.

Nothing to worry about.

As clear a case of false accusation as
I've heard.

Go on.

I'll see you out.

No, look, I'll be fine.

Look, let me take you for a drink
tonight.

You're going to need one.

Look, I don't want to take up any more
of your time, Eddie.

Don't be daft.

We need to talk about how to deal with
all this.

Yeah, okay. That'd be great. Right.

Poor kid.

Right.

Time for you to change hats, I guess.

From the ridiculous to the downright
bitter.

Chance, I can't believe this.

What are they doing here?

Mr Lawson wants a little more structure
to your dancing.

Structure? What are you on about?

Here we go, Matt.

Strictly ballroom.

As in the telly? Yep.

Mr Budgin was a champion.

Was. You're having a g -ruff, sir.

And I can assure you, if I hadn't been
forced into this, I wouldn't be here.

To the base, it's set

up very simply.

Walt's time is three beats to the bar.

Oh, one, two, three. One, two, three.
And then for the ladies, it's just the

opposite, OK? So it's back on the left.
And one.

The Walt relies on 250 years of history.

And unlike the break dance, it's a dance
of communication.

Two people interpreting the same music.

Expressing their feelings to it.

Body to body.

Face to face.

You mean, isn't he coming over for a
date?

Actually, and don't laugh.

We're going to try and do up Mum's bike.

Well, romantic.

Are you going to try and give Brett a
second chance?

Let's see how much he wants it first.

Kyle.

We might be hopeful you and Don turn all
right.

Come on, everyone, round the floor.

Well,

we'll let you get on with writhing
around the floor on your backs.

Great dancing.

Great dancing, my eye.

It's well proper dancing.

Not like that easy stuff yous have done.

One, two, three. One, two, three. So
minging.

Well, I think maybe the technical
aspects are a little lost on you. After

it's only 250 years of history.

Oh, yeah.

Well, breakdancing's got loads of
history as well.

It's from New York, the Bronx.

It was the DJs on street corners in the
70s that started it all off.

I've done loads of research over the
internet about it.

1970s. Bolton, I think what Mr Budge is
trying to say is that it's not proper

dancing. No way, man.

For real, sir, there's loads of moves.

Head spin, back slide, six step.

Bet you couldn't do one single
breakdance move.

And you can do it for anything, sir.

I can even do it to that load of puns.

What about con slash?

Well, I think you'll find that with all
forms of modern music, the roots go back

a lot further than 1970.

I mean, breakdancing of sorts has been
around for a lot longer than the waltz.

Track five, please.

We're going to tell people.

Well, I've done it all by the book,
according to the LEA.

Yeah, and if it goes against her, that's
it. End of career.

Our dinner arrangement?

Yeah, I wasn't expecting you quite so
early. I thought we might have a couple

drinks first, and I know your teachers
don't like to be up too late midweek.

Must be really nice having someone look
after you so well.

Yeah, we're going through plans for the
new construction. You're welcome to join

us if you want. I've made other
arrangements.

Actually, Eddie, it'd be really great to
get your view. But if you're too busy,

then maybe you could put some ideas down
in writing for me.

I'll do that.

Thank God he didn't accept my
invitation.

We're dining at the Langford.

I thought I might choose somewhere quiet
where we can talk.

Well, I know you can afford it, given
your generous contribution to the school

funds. It's an investment in Waterloo
Road and its young people.

About tonight.

Oh, I'm so sorry, Tom. I completely
forgot about the pizza.

Brett's coming round tonight.

Brett?

Yeah, I don't believe in anything into
it.

Well, that's good news.

And what you were going to say?

It wasn't anything to do with Davina
joining us, was it?

She kind of manoeuvred me into it.

So, what?

You don't want her to come?

Tom, stop worrying about what we think
all the time.

What you've done for us was just
brilliant.

And now I won't be coming tonight.

You two should spend some time together
on your own. No, I'm not having that. I

want you there.

I mean it.

I want you to get to know her.

That is mad. Oh, come on, Steph.

Yes, it's a competition, but it's a
great way of keeping fit and I'm telling

you, in three weeks you'd have legs like
steel rods.

Grantly. I am not covering my legs in
creosote and flashing me knickers, so

forget it. That's Latin. This would be
proper ballroom. You've got all the

attributes.

Deportments. How long have you known me,
Grantley? You know I don't respond to

flattery.

It's in two months and Fleur's
organising the over 45 section. Come on,

walking.

Over 45?

Moi?

Get stuffed, Grantley.

First prize is a ten -minute supermarket
trolley dash.

Free entry.

Ah.

Dump pile of crap.

Buy a new one.

Too much money.

Sure problem.

Oh, go on. A pair of his and hers
matching mountain bikes.

No.

I'm supposed to be learning how to fix
things.

Sorry.

What? Er, nothing.

Just... Alan?

How do we get this chain off?

It's good food, huh?

Look, Rachel, I'm not going to justify
what I did.

No?

OK, maybe I am.

The truth is, I don't like myself very
much for what happened.

Perhaps I am trying to find some kind of
absolution, I don't know.

And the blackmail, huh?

Do we forget about that? Did that never
happen?

I wouldn't have done it if I didn't have
to. I just needed to know that my lid

was on the table.

Look, I'll destroy any evidence the test
has. No, better still, I'll give it to

you. I just need you to understand.

You know what?

I'd rather give the job up.

I mean it.

Just say the word.

OK.

OK, that's what we'll do.

I'll get in touch with Mr Filby.

Tell him there's been a question raised
regarding the procurement procedure.

Set it back about six months, we can
cope with that.

We need that facility up and running by
next year.

I'm aware of that.

I just really wish everything had been
done in the proper way.

that pretty meeting. It put me on a par
with you. You had valuable information

and you used it.

You didn't seek it out. You didn't
blackmail anyone.

Philby made the final decision, not you.

Hiya. Hiya.

Come in.

Hey, Claire.

Right, a slight change of plan.

The spiky meatball is fantastic.

All right.

It's your idea.

No, no, it was Mika's, wasn't it,
Claude?

So what, we stay in and she goes out?

No.

Mika, come and choose a pizza.

She's in the kitchen with Brett. They've
gone all green.

She's fixing up Izzy's old bike.

Sorry. I was a bit rude of me. No, it
wasn't.

Don't worry about it.

You can know she's just being stupid.

So, how's Jasmine?

Not good.

Saw around school that she smacked
Michaela White on.

Yeah, so says Michaela.

Well, she didn't. Everyone was like, go
on, Miss Gresham, give her a Glasgow

kiss and all.

Right.

What are you having?

Jasmine, Eddie, if you're not here in
half an hour, I'm coming to get you.

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy on that,
you.

You're not driving anywhere tonight, are
you?

No, but I am tomorrow.

Yeah, well, you'll be walking everywhere
if Mickey gets away.

Which she usually does.

Maybe I should get a pair of hiking
boots.

Please tell me you're not going to let
her persuade you to dump your car.

How do we get to school?

On bikes.

I don't want the girls on bikes. People
get knocked off them.

Right.

I'm going up.

See you later, yeah?

Oh, and don't be too late. We've got
school in the morning.

Night, miss.

Good night.

Are those two still fixing that wreck of
a bike?

One down, eh?

It's not as simple as that.

Tell him.

As long as it takes.

Right.

Back to cleaning the rust off these
mudguards.

I'll get the steel wool. If you could
find a spanner to take those nuts off.

Brett.

Why are you here?

To save the planet.

It's only taking a part.

Find out what's clogging up the ring.

But give it a couple of months of
weekends and after schools and we should

it back on the road.

Or you could just let me buy you a new
one.

Secondhand, if you like.

To show you how fantastic I think you
are.

How much I love you and how sorry I am I
hurt you.

How can I make you believe me?

Your commitment, I suppose.

Well, you know you've got it.

Good.

So, we start cycling and walking
everywhere, and then as soon as we can,

going to take out Lawson's 4x4.

I took the liberty.

20 -year -old almanac.

Thank you.

Stuart, I mean this.

You've got to be on the bike first thing
tomorrow morning.

My credibility's on the line.

Good food, good wine, good company.

Don't put on those business practices.

Jasmine,

I've been waiting there ages.

I'm sorry.

I got you one of each, just in case.

You look like you could do with both of
them.

I'm never going to get over this.

Have you told your mum and dad yet? Are
you kidding?

They'd die.

I'm going to resign, Eddie.

Oh, come on.

No. I've been going over and over this
in my head, and no matter how I look at

it, they're going to find me guilty.

Don't give up.

None of the rest of us have.

But you don't know what I know.

The truth is...

I did overreact.

I ran at them like a lunatic when I saw
what they were doing to Shane.

Something inside me just flipped.

I knew what he was going through.

Oh, I see.

You were bullied at school.

The opposite.

I was a bully.

Well, part of the bullies gang.

Like Angie and Sasha.

Terrified to be bullied and just so
grateful not to be.

You know, we made a girl's trip.

Tied her to a tree.

And she was begging and sobbing for us
to stop.

I'm in hell.

See, this is how I know that none of
them are going to crack.

Because then I'd have to face Michaela
White.

And that's never going to happen.
