Hello?

I've got a chance to explain myself.

No,

please.

Wait a minute, please. Give me a chance.

That kind of infection?

Good. I think we're getting there.

So when can I go back to work?

You have to understand, with these kind
of injuries, time really is the greatest

healer. You should consider further skin
growth.

No, I've said no.

It's the only way to repair the damage.

Rachel, there really is no reason why
you should have to live with it.

Well, I don't have the time. I've got to
get back.

You're not physically ready to go back
to work.

Or mentally ready, in my opinion.

Well, with the greatest respect, it's
not your opinion that matters right now.

Morning, Grantley.

Miss Mason.

Looking well? Thank you. Are you round
to go?

Once more, on to the breach.

What's wrong with this picture?

Rachel.

Hi. Hi. Welcome back.

With all yours.

Not that I will be spending much time
sitting down this year.

Far too much time to sit and think over
the last few weeks.

You're recovering from massive injuries.

Yeah, whatever.

No, I just want to get going.

I made a lot of promises when I came
here. I haven't kept any of them. That's

not true.

In fairness, you did have a few
distractions.

Yes, well, this year I'm going to put
that right because...

I don't want this school to be
associated with fire and scandal.

I want it to be a place where people can
come and they can change their lives

for the better.

You have to look after yourself, Rachel.

I'm fine.

And I'll be even better when we see the
people we're here for. It's assembly.

Let's go.

Yeah?

You look good.

Thank you very much, all of you.

Yes.

Right.

Thank you, Mr Lawson, because I'm sure
that you're behind all this fuss.

Well, here we are.

A new year, huh?

Some new pupils, a new staff, and in
some places, a new school.

I hope you like what's been done to the
old place. What do you think about it?

I'm glad. I'm glad. Because I want you
all to go home this afternoon.

Tell your mums, your dads, your
grandparents, whoever. We want them all

Because we're opening the doors this
year.

Hey, have you seen Grantley?

No.

Are they about all this touchy -feely
crap?

And the message that I'm trying to get
across is, if they're in need of

something, the first place we want them
to look is Waterloo Road.

Yeah?

Thank you.

Sam, open the window, please.

See,

it really is absolutely meaningless.

Yeah, I told you to open the window.
Give him here.

It's all right, Dad. I'm here now.

Wherever it is, it's like another dump
to me.

We've only been here ten seconds.

Yeah, twice as long as the last place.
Hey, dumpster. It's bad. Yeah, well,

we're not blaming moving again, all
right?

I don't care what this place is like.

Earl, I don't think anyone's got a
problem with that. I'm just saying.

Well, don't.

And if we're staying, you might as well
give us somebody's bags.

Oi! I'll take that one.

It's your bag.

You too, Denzil. Come on.

It's not your bag.

No, it's not. It's your bag.

Stop moaning.

Yeah, will you pick that up down there?

What a speech you gave, wasn't it? Yeah.
What about you? I'm overcome with

emotion. You, mister, are overcome by
your hangover.

Had a big night?

Yeah, you've been having a big night
every night since you and Colin split.

Hi. I just want to say hello.

I'm Rob. Ah, let me guess. New head of
PE.

Oh, what gave it away, mate?

I'm Tom.

Welcome aboard, Tom. Nice to meet you.

Oh, for God's sake, Jasmine, put your
tongue in.

What? I bet the only dribbling that Mr.
Muscle was into was on the football

field.

Sports joke. Very good.

Impressive. Well, I'm interested.

Yeah, I can see that.

Look, I don't date my colleagues if I'm
professional. And anyway, if I was going

to go out with someone from a staff
room, it certainly wouldn't be a plumber

teacher. No, I'm serious. I mean,
imagine going out with someone who comes

work with their tracksuit and flimsos.

I just want to say hello. I'm Matt.

Matt. Nice to meet you.

Jasmine. Yeah, hi.

I'll leave you to it.

Well, he is fit.

Which, of course, he needs to be to do
his job.

Tell me you didn't hear all of that.

He didn't hear all that.

Just most of it.

I'm charging you 50 quid because you got
sick on the seat. I told you I don't

have 50 quid.

Look, you can see we had to leave in a
bit of a hurry. That's not my problem,

love. I've got two of me living.

I know.

Well, I don't know what to do for the
best.

I've got some birthday money left, Mum.
No, it's all right, sweetheart.

No.

Just take it. I'll pay you back.

Sorry.

It's all we've got.

No, you're right. It don't matter.

No, no, you should take it.

No, you obviously need it more than I
do.

Earl, it's OK. I've got this, all right?
No.

I'm not having some potsy cabbie
thinking we're some sort of charity

It's all right.

Where are you going? I'm not done with
you.

Who do you think you are?

Apologise now. What the hell did you do?
Get off him.

I will not say that again.

Now, what's going on here?

And who are you?

I'm the head of the school. Who the hell
are you?

Your worst nightmare.

Earl.

I'm sorry about this. We just had a
little... I'm here to enrol the kids in

school.

Enrol, erm...

I don't... That's made your day, hasn't
it, love?

Look, I just need to know where... I
want to be at your poxy school about as

much as you want me here.

Is there a problem?

Yeah, five of them.

I should have known when they asked me
to bring them here.

Typical flaming waterloo road. They
should have let this place burn to the

ground. Get this vehicle off school
property.

Are you OK? Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine.

OK, let's get inside and sort this mess
out, yeah?

And I mean all of you.

Come on.

Oh, boy, she's broke.

Oh,

no, no, you wouldn't be.

You're telling me straight. I spoke to
them all in the council office. I've

through all the right people. I'm sure
of it. Why else would I be here?

Look, we're really sorry, but maybe you
could try again tomorrow.

No, I need you to... Look, I'm trying to
do the right thing here.

Yeah, I realise that.

I can't win.

When I kicked him out of school, you
threatened to put me inside.

Now, first thing I do when I get here is
bring him to school.

Okay, and why don't we go to my office?
Let's see what we can do.

Thank you.

Come on, you lot.

Can you give us a hand with the little
one?

Are you sure you can manage all that?

It's heavier than it looks.

Are you okay, mate?

Yeah, just everyone's staring at us like
we're some sort of freaks.

I was just trying to work out who the
fit new lads are.

You mean the fit new lads in this
scrotum?

Come on, let's get this over with,
right?

We'll be fine.

I tell you, this is what we do.

And then some.

But things can be different here, mate.

Right, no dramas. All you've got to do
is keep your head down.

Yeah, yeah. Mouth shut, nose clean.
Please, thank you, and don't get us

out. I know the drill.

This isn't just about you.

Well, there's a chance for all of us
here. I'm just saying, maybe you should

just take it easy, yeah?

Yeah, yeah.

Whatever, Dad.

I don't know anything about her, except
she's out bent on dumping her kids on

us. Well, then this is the best place
for them.

Rachel.

Why don't you get on to their school so
we can find out about them?

You've made a mess.

Flushed up like he said.

Oh, you cheeky.

Yeah, I've checked him out.

Who's he staring at?

I hope it was Nick.

Really?

Yeah. He's well fit, isn't he, Chloe?

I wasn't even looking.

What, because you've only got eyes for
Donny? Don't make me do it.

You're engaged, not dead. I still don't
see how you can be engaged to someone

who you're already married to.

So we're going to do it properly this
time, with everyone there.

Yeah, everyone except the lady.

Yeah, everyone except her.

Hello, girls. Glad to be back.

No, me neither.

Me neither.

Oh, whatever.

See what I mean about her?

She's clear.

Look, she needs bringing down a peg or
two.

I don't even know why she got to be head
girl. It's Mr. Lawson, trying to keep

her daddy happy.

All you do is tell us because she's
pretty.

Pretty? Pretty boring.

Can you really see her coming up with
ideas for the school?

Me, I've got loads of ideas for this
place.

Heaps.

Alicia, you know, if you do have any
ideas, you can always bring them to me.

I'd love to hear them.

Cheers, I will.

Great. See you later.

God, you're such a cow.

Shut up.

Bradley!

What are you doing skulking about in
here? Why weren't you at assembly?

Well, I had no desire to welcome back
our resident lady of the night, and I

more important matters. Listen, before
the rest of the hoi polloi get here, I

need an honest opinion.

About what?

It is custom -made.

I wanted a good fit.

Of course.

Because you wouldn't want to look
ridiculous, would you? Exactly.

Now, I know I'm no matinee idol, but I
think it adds a certain... Je ne sais

quoi, as you would say.

Do you like it?

Do you know, Grantley, I don't think it
matters what I think.

Do you like it?

Do you know?

I think I do. Good.

Then I would go out there with my head
held high and face the world. Do you

think so?

Absolutely.

It seems a bit hardcore.

I was struggling to take the kids in.

We're not tied in a family, though, are
we?

You know, to be honest with you, I don't
think you've got much to say about it.

I mean, she seems pretty...

He isn't actually going to go and teach
like that, is he? Well, apparently.

But the kids will crucify him.

Well, it can happen to any today.

Vanity, thy name is Woodrow.

All right, all right.

That's enough.

Nice pet role, what do you call it?

Someone's already done that one. At
least try and be original. I said that

enough. Mum, mum, it's all calmed down
now.

Thank you.

Let's get on, shall we?

I don't understand. We all know he
doesn't have any hair.

Is he just pretending it's grown all of
a sudden because it's not a very good

laugh? It looks

very real, just like hair.

Shut up!

The next person to so much as smile will
find themselves in detention for two

weeks. Do you understand?

All right, keep your hair up.

It can't be done. It's a wreck. Hey,
it's a man of close future.

I really wish you hadn't said that.

Oh, come on, Sam. You've got to have a
better vision.

This, my friend, is a win -win
situation.

And how do you work that out?

Well, when I'm working on this, I'm also
working towards my MVQ, sir.

Then when I get it on the road... If you
get it on the road.

Yeah, when that happens, me and Chloe
can start in.

Well, I certainly won't argue with that.

You all right, mate? How's your first
day going?

It's like a first day, you know. We've
got a little project going on.

Little? He reckons he can convert this
bag of bolts into a going concern.

Yeah. Mobile air dressers.

Clothes, cut.

Got to fit it with, you know, cupboards
for all our air stuff and that.

It's going to be... Automatic.

No, I meant... Systematic.

Hydromatic. Why is green lightning?

Yeah, you're not funny. No, no, sorry,
listen.

If you need any help... What help?

They don't do a kind of WD -40 big
enough to get this thing in the road. I

think they do want...

OK, let's have date of birth, previous
address, current address.

For God's sake, how much longer is this
going to take?

Earl, please.

It's not like you've got anywhere better
to be.

I could be back at home.

No, you couldn't, and we both know why.
Sorry.

It's just we have a little problem with
the current address.

Right.

I don't know what it is yet.

What, are we going to do it on time?

We don't know where to go, do we? Oh,
for God's sake, Sam, I'll pick you up.

My way.

Mum, do you take the address? We'll find
our own way back.

Don't be stupid.

What's the problem?

Well, by three o 'clock you'll be
pissed, won't you? That's not funny.

Don't make stupid jokes.

Kids, I'm doing my best here.

Can you not make it any harder?

I'm not staying and listening to this
again.

Why don't we all calm down? Neither of
you are going anywhere, OK?

Let's get this sorted out now. Sit down.

I managed to speak to someone at your
old school.

Mrs Fox.

Oh, look.

Earl's really sorry about what happened.

It was just a nasty accident, wasn't it,
love?

Sorry, what sort of accident?

The sort where a chair accidentally
flies across the room.

Things just got a bit out of hand.

Look, we've had our ups and downs, yeah,
but we're trying to make a fresh start.

I've got us a new house so that we can
be a proper family and Marley and Earl

can get their exams this year and... OK.

You can stay.

But you need to know that when it comes
to violence, this school has zero

tolerance.

So no more flying chairs.

No more picking fights, Earl.

Earl, I am talking to you. And he's
listening.

Oh, I'll be a good little boy.

I promise.

Good.

Is that it, then?

Er, well... Er, Mrs Kelly? Sorry.

I'll be bathroom at three.

Bathroom at three.

Yeah.

OK,

these are the timetables for today.

We can fine -tune them once we get to
know their abilities, I guess.

Or lack thereof. Come on.

Isn't one for Marley?

No, I want to have a one -to -one with
him.

Not quite the first day you expected,
eh?

Not exactly, no.

Should have known better than to expect
an easy ride, shouldn't I?

You'll be needing a drink by the end of
play.

I'll even buy it you.

Yeah, maybe.

We'll see how it goes.

Grishy, Denzel Kelly.

Hi.

Here you go.

I'll start you off.

Take a seat over there.

Right, pay attention, everyone.

Biswate. Sambuca Kelly.

And this is Prince Kelly.

Marley, I wonder if you can clear
something up for me.

I'll try.

Well, the GCSE you were sitting, your
predicted grades, they were all A's and

B's, but when it came to the real
thing... Yeah, I kind of felt to pieces.

Nerves and... Oh, is that why you didn't
turn up for some of the exams?

Well, your mum must have been
disappointed.

So do you think that you're over the
exam phobia thing now?

Yeah, I hope so.

Good, because I think that you're more
than capable of doing the resits and the

AS levels at the same time. I don't want
to keep you back a year.

Think you can manage that?

Yeah, yeah, definitely.

Good. And you mustn't let anything, not
your nerves or anything else, distract

you, yeah? I know that can be hard.

No, I want to do this, Liz.

Good, that's good enough for me.

Um, no, just wait a minute. There's
somebody I want to meet. Oh.

Felicity, can I just introduce you to
someone?

Molly, this is Felicity. She's our new
head girl.

Flick. My friends call me Flick.

Sorry, Flick. Flick is going to, well,
she's going to help you settle in.

I don't need a babysitter, babe.

I don't intend to be one.

Okay, um, timetable, and I'll leave you
to it. Good luck.

Goodbye.

Ralph. Hello.

I thought the Board of Governors meeting
was at the end of the week.

That's right.

But as chair, I thought I should welcome
you back. Right. I heard about the vote

of no confidence.

Well, heard about it once I'd regained
consciousness.

But what did you expect?

You'd left this school in ruins,
literally.

You'd lied to us about your identity.

There were exam irregularities. There
had to be a response from the Board.

Yeah. I appreciate that.

And I appreciate the second chance I've
been given.

Last chance.

Then you wouldn't have got that if it
had been up to me.

However, certain members of your staff
put up a spirited defence.

Mr Lawson, I was just telling Miss
Mason... Yeah, I heard.

There's a phone call for you in the
office.

Thank you, Eddie.

It shouldn't be her taking that call.

It shouldn't be her school any more.

That job was yours for the taking.

No, it's Rachel's.

And it always will be till she decides
otherwise.

Question is, when that happens, will you
still be in the frame?

What if you've blown your best chance to
run this place?

I'll still be able to live with myself.

Not sure I would have been able to say
that if I'd helped you kick her while

was down.

OK, make a start on your worksheets.

Just listen to the piece quietly.

Right doctor, isn't it?

Well, don't you have any proper music
lessons?

You know, a theme in that.

We're going to a joint choir in Alaska,
but where to move?

Do you vote like that here?

Can't take a hint.

Don't talk. It's gag.

I'm not a gag.

You just smell like one. Don't you have
toothpaste where you can take?

Sure. Zambuca Kelly.

You've only been here five minutes and
you're already causing trouble. What is

the problem?

You're the problem.

Am I now?

Well, if you wanted us just to shut up
and be quiet, then you should have put

them to work better in the first place.

The only reason you've got us listening
to this talk is because you can't be

asking a proper lesson.

Pick up the chair and go over there.

You spit face in the wall for the rest
of the lesson.

Maybe you'll be able to keep quiet with
only yourself to talk to.

Because a very short poem, for example,
Your Ricefield Maiden, the only things

not muddy are the songs you sing.

Strong images, don't you think, Denzel?

Perhaps you'd like to read her the next
one.

No, thanks.

Go on, that one there.

I don't want to.

It's only three lines. Get on with it.

A mountain?

Right, look, that's enough.

I take it all this noise means you're
eager to get on with some work?

When that man eye is famished for a
look, a heart in love with size himself

smother.

Excellent. Very well read.

Right, who's next?

Well, come on. It'd be nice to hear from
the boys for a change.

What about our new arrival?

What do I have to, sir?

Yeah, come on. Show them how it's done.

With my love's picture, then my eye doth
feast.

And to the painted banquet bids my
heart.

Another time.

In mine eyes, my heart's care.

Very good.

OK,

I hope you all enjoyed and got something
from that.

Not long to go, actually.

You can spend the rest of the time
talking about what the music meant to

Sam, can you go back with the others
now?

No, I'm all right, sir. I'll stay here.

I was the new boy in the staff room last
year.

Not easy, is it?

You sort of get used to it when you're
always the new girl.

Wakey, wakey. What the hell are you
playing at?

I beg your pardon?

Sorry, miss.

I thought I was at home.

Well, evidently.

Well, I'll have another ten minutes.

But you carry on.

Don't let me bother you.

Listen, matey.

You can sleep in your own time.

Get your pen out and get some work done.

All right, everyone, show over.

Don't forget your homework's due in
tomorrow.

Leave the books on the desk.

Hey, Spencer, can you help me clear up
the books, please?

Me? Yeah, me.

So what was it like at your other
school?

OK. Must be a big change going from
primary school to high school.

I'm used to changing schools.

I see.

Did any of your other schools help you
with any extra classes?

Do you mean like detention and that?

No, I mean with your reading.

No, but I do try, Miss.

I know you do.

It's just I think you could do with some
extra help.

I did too when I was your age.

No, you didn't. You're an English
teacher.

I wouldn't be if it wasn't for the extra
classes.

You know what, it gave me a chance to
catch up. One on one. No one else there

take the mic.

Do you mean you and me?

Yeah.

You might even like it.

So what do you say?

Do you fancy giving it a go?

Yeah. Excellent.

Well, I'll get back to you with it
sometime.

Sorry, mate. What the hell are you
playing at?

I said sorry, it was an accident. No,
once is an accident.

You've done it deliberately this time.

What do you mean, this time?

I don't even know who you are, man.
Well, carry on like that and you soon

Yeah, well, maybe you should get to know
who I am before you start shooting your

mouth off, new boy.

Yeah.

Where do you think you're going?

Do you think this is finished?

Shut up, man!

Or what? Or you'll have me to deal with.
Now move!

Don't think this is finished.

Hey, go on.

What the hell was all that about?

Nothing.

Look, I know it's hard for you starting
at a new school, but you're not going to

make it any easier for yourself,
throwing your weight around, acting the

man.

I don't know what it was like at your
last school, but there's no need for it

here, OK?

Hey, I haven't finished yet.

Get off me! Look!

I'm doing you a favour. I said to get
off me.

And where do you think it's going to get
you, speaking to people like that?

I'm lying!

Don't mess with me.

Oh, what?

Eh? Eh?

Trust me, you don't want to know.

Now, I'm going to pretend that you
didn't just do that, because it's your

day. If you ever do that to me or any
other teacher, you'll be off these

premises before you know what's hit you.
Do you understand me?

Dad, I've been looking for you. I've
been looking everywhere for you. Have

seen that dude? Oh my God, he's mega
fit. I saw him first. So what?

Just one problem.

What? Flick Mellor's already rolling out
the welcome wagon.

Where's your problem?

Not with you.

Why is it?

Just be glad that you're a boy.

Mum.

Where were you before?

Uh, Dewsbury.

Blackpool before that.

Well, all the place we were there.

Marley!

Marley! Get off your popper.

Didn't take her long, did it?

Mum!

It's not even 11 o 'clock yet.

Don't have me lying.

I can tell the time.

I'm picking you up like I said I would.

Where's Earl?

I've not got all day, you know.

Mum, I'll take you home. I don't want
you.

Where's Earl?

Mum, you said you weren't going to do
this again.

Do what?

Get pissed and show us up.

Show you off, is this?

Are you sure you want to get out? No,
no.

Look at your face.

Have you ever been down the housing
association yet, or did you go straight

the office? That's not the case.

It's a nice place.

Good. You need to go back now. You need
to sober up, okay?

We'll be home later. Come on. I'm sorry,
darling.

You know I wouldn't... You're an oar.

Just go, oar.

Okay.

Be good.

Molly, you all right? Yeah, I'm fine.

Earl!

Come here.

Back here.

He shot you?

Yeah. Well, just with his fingers,
obviously.

Have any of you had any dealings with
him? It's not just me, is it? I thought

was a cheeky little sod.

He's a bloody nutter. That family's not
had an easy time without you, Tom.

Well, the other brother seems OK.

According to the sister, they've been
pushed from pillar to post by the

Exactly. You know, I was going to have a
word with Rachel. To ask what she was

thinking of when she enrolled him in the
first place, I hope.

We're always being told that resources
are overstretched. Perhaps they'd be a

bit more elastic if we didn't take in
every nut job and charity case, let

old families of them.

Wow.

It's just like Bob Geldof's in the room.

Or maybe even Bruce Forsyth.

I'd like to say I'm sorry about your
mother.

I'm sorry.

I don't mean, I just... I realise what
you're going through now.

Do you? Yeah, and if there's anything I
can do to help... There is, actually.

Good.

You can show off about it.

Boxing. Girls, football.

They haven't actually won anything yet.
It's not all about the winning, you

know. Yeah, that's what losers usually
say.

Actually, that's what you see when
you're back four weeks like I said.

Well, let's work on that. See if we can
bring home some silverware this season.

Nice. I like how someone's actually
taken the serious look for a change.

well, there's more to being a PE teacher
than coming to work in tracksuit and

plimp soles.

You know, I've been thinking.

I really ought to do more exercise.

Apparently, you should do something
every day that gets you hot and sweaty

20 minutes.

Only 20?

Well, 30 if you really want to feel the
burn.

Oh, for God's sake.

Excuse me, guys. Well, I'm going to have
an adult conversation.

Miss Mason, I've just... had the new boy
in my class, Denzel Kelly.

He really seems to be struggling with
his reading and writing.

Well, that doesn't come as a surprise,
really. From what I gather, none of

kids have ever really had a chance to
settle.

I just can't believe that none of his
other teachers have ever picked up on

or even cared.

Well, it's great you caught the problem
early, because that means we can do

something about it straight away.

Yeah, I've spoken to him about extra
tuition, and he seems up for it. So I've

organised the... Sorry.

I just hope you don't think I'm...

Jack, it is fantastic that you've taken
my initiative.

Some other staff member could learn from
you, I think. Well done.

Right. Step,

shouldn't you be preparing for your
interview?

Interview?

For what?

Mr. Kelly.

How's your first day going? Good. Good,
I'm glad to hear that.

Look, it's not easy starting somewhere
new.

I know how intimidating it can be.

But I really think you can find a place
here if you give it a chance.

Yeah? Yeah.

I've seen people in very similar
situations as yours and they've managed

things around for themselves and make a
go of it.

With a bit of effort, I think you can
too.

Well, I'm going to try, so... Thanks,
Miss.

Good. Lecture over.

Have you managed to make any mates yet?

I've talked to a couple of people, made
sure they know who I am and what I'm

about.

I'm meeting them for lunch now, so...
Okay.

Well, can't teams that way?

Okay.

What a tough guy, I have to say for
himself.

I think it's all bravado.

Yeah? Yeah. I think it's going to be
fine once he realises that doesn't work.

Right,

Earl. What are you doing?

Go.

What's in this place, then?

It's a dump.

I think it's crap, too.

It's worse than the last place.

I might go home, it's that crap.

Walk out.

What do you think?

Do what you like.

You could come with us.

What? Do you want to bunk off with me?

You coming or what?

What does it matter?

You're the one making a big deal of it.

I just want to keep out of that new
kid's way, all right?

I think he's a bit of a... Bit of a
what?

No.

Look, I don't know what your problem is,
man.

I don't have a problem.

I just want to show you something.

Come on, then.

Not here.

Come on.

I think you'll like it.

No, it's all right.

We've got stuff to do.

Do a lot of stuff together, do you, boy?

Well, okay.

You ought to be left alone with your
bike, and that's up to you.

All right.

Better be worth it.

Bolton! No!

I was calling you, Jay, as well. Come
on.

You win! Keep going, keep going, keep
going. Where are you taking me? Wait,

wait, wait. Stop, stop, stop.

Ta -da!

What?

Look.

At what?

The van, Chloe. I bought it.

What with?

Bought money off me dad.

Well, I know it looks like a hunk of
junk at the moment, but I promise you,

right, when it's kitted out, it's going
to be mint.

What for, Dante?

Well, I'm glad you asked.

You ready?

Bam!

You are going to be a mobile
hairdresser.

I mean, it'll be like having your own
salon, but on wheels.

What do you think?

I think you just wasted the load of
money we didn't even have in the first

place.

Right, Eddie, what do you think?

Formal at the table, informal on the
sofas?

I'm sorry, what is it you're asking me
exactly?

The head of extended services
interviews.

Formal, informal.

Oh, you know me, I'm an informal sort of
guy.

Yes, you are.

No, I'm going to go formal.

We're going to put the pressure on, you
know.

We're looking for someone who's
unflappable, in control.

We're looking for someone special.

Yeah, you're right.

It's difficult for any teacher to get
adults fired up. It's like you need...

Magic powers.

But it's not just teachers who can work
magic. Maybe we should think outside the

box. Maybe.

Okay, let's get the first one.

So what's the big... Deal then.

What the hell have you got that for?

Let me see this.

Look with your eyes, not your hands.

It's not even real, is it? Isn't it?

Why have you even brought it to school?

Why do you think?

What?

Protection?

Maybe there's actually a reason for us
moving to this dump.

Eh, Den?

Yeah.

Maybe you just want us to think you're a
bit gangster instead of the tosser that

you are. You what?

Look, this is stupid.

I'm off.

Look. You're going nowhere.

I won't say anything to anyone.

I just... What?

What's wrong?

I just don't want to be here, all right?

What's up?

Are you scared?

Just leave him alone, yeah?

You are, aren't you?

Scared it might just go off in my hand?

No. I'm back!

That's not bloody funny!

Just let me out! Just let him go!

What are you going to do about it if I
don't?

So, how are you going to sell Waterloo
Road to adults?

Get them through the doors and get them
to learn.

Make them part of the school community.

I've always thought that education was
its own rule.

Yeah, right, but how are you going to
get that message out there?

You know, pass it on.

A couple of leaflets, an open evening.
That's what you're after, isn't it?

Grantley, do you actually believe in
opening the school to everyone?

Of course.

But while they're in here, they're not
out there nicking cars and robbing old

ladies, are they? Unless, of course,
you're going to offer a class in that as

well.

So what we're looking for is someone who
can identify what's needed, you know,

adult education classes, after -school
clubs, dropping advice for teenage

issues. Those are just ideas that I've
been kicking around, but I'm sure you've

got lots of yourself.

Ideas? Oh, absolutely, I'm full of them.
I believe that ballroom dancing is very

popular.

Wine tasting.

Jam making.

Speed dating.

Thought you were really funny this
morning, didn't you?

Bumping into me. I told you, it was an
accident.

Not laughing now, are you, though?

Because there's nothing to laugh at
anymore.

Look, I'm really sorry.

And?

Andy, what happened again? I promise.

Just let me go, please.

Not yet.

I mean, you say you're sorry, but I'm
just not feeling it.

Perhaps you should show me how sorry you
are.

What are you on about?

On your knees.

Just leave him alone, man. Paul don't do
it. Don't listen to him.

He's got you in enough trouble.

Get down.

Now.

Get down.

Say you're sorry.

And we'll call it quits.

I'm really sorry.

That wasn't hard, was it?

Your turn.

Thank you for coming.

Where did you find him?

Quite like the last one.

What? His name is the rest.

Mediocre at best.

Look, we're looking for someone with a
bit of vision and drive.

You make it sound like you're looking
for a cross between Rambo and Mother

Teresa with a bit of Jeremy Carr thrown
in for good measure. Well, maybe I am,

but these interviews are not over until
the right person walks through that

door.

Hi, I'm Melissa Ryan.

Oh. Well, I don't seem to have you on my
list. No, no, no, I added her to the

list. She's a late entry.

Nice to meet you, Melissa. Take a seat.

What do you mean, she missed the
deadline?

Can we worry about the details later,
Eddie?

What to do with you?

Any ideas, then?

Didn't think so.

I know.

My trainers were a bit dirty.

You said if I say sorry... Put a shine
on them whilst you're down there, will

you?

I'm going to be sorry you did this.

Am I?

Am I really?

You know, I reckon you could put a
better shine on him.

With your tongue.

No way, mate.

It's not gonna happen.

Ah! He's getting away!

Better go after him.

Tell him to keep his mouth shut, yeah?

Sorry I left you. I'd just cut the soap
and keep walking, man. Come on, Dad.

He reckoned he'd use you. He reckoned
he'd use you.

It happens all the time in America.

Some nuts are going class to class,
taking out all those who have pissed him

off. We should tell someone. That's the
last thing we're going to do, right?

We'll know it was us, Paul.

How? Because we're the only ones he's
shown it to, apart from his idiot

But if we stay... Just keep it shut,
right? He even thinks we've talked about

grassing him up with kilos. End of.

Hey.

What? Where is he?

Who?

Santa Claus, who do you think?

Then what was going on back there?

Don't know.

Well, you were there.

Then just stay away from him, all right?

He's only going to get you in trouble
again.

I suppose.

And the rest of us.

I'd quite like to stay at this school.

Me too.

They're all right here. This is Dad and
I's pizza. She's going to help me with

my reading.

Well, that's brilliant then.

Let's not let Al mess this up, OK?

Yeah, good to hear.

Al there, all right?

Go on.

Slowly. That's her there. Call me a
Skype.

What, her?

Yeah. Think you're smart, do you?

Picking on a new girl?

I never said anything.

What's all my sister's like?

I was only joking.

So you did say something. Which one is
it?

I didn't mean it.

Well, you're not funny.

And I'm going to tell you this once. You
pick on my sister, you pick on me. Do

you understand me?

Good.

Because if I find out that you've even
looked at her funny, I'll be waiting for

you after school.

And you might not make it home. Do you
understand?

Yeah, right.

That's what extended services are all
about. I just love people, you know,

getting in amongst them, finding out
what they need.

But it is important to keep that
professional distance.

Yeah, yeah, of course. I always keep
something back, you know, arm's length.

Well, which is it?

Are you in people's faces or do you keep
them at arm's length?

Well, I think you can do both, actually.

You know, give 100 % there when you're
at work and just let things go when you

get home. Well, look at your CV.

You've got some good...

Relevant experience?

Yes, that was my work in the voluntary
sector.

That was a real eye -opener.

Taught me a lot about myself, what I'm
capable of.

And you've undergone training there? Big
difference training than actually doing

the job. But I do have plenty of life
experience, and that's what this job

needs. Someone who understands that
people are about more than bits of paper

qualifications.

Right. Well, thank you very much for
coming.

That's it, yeah.

And thank you for putting me through my
paces.

Really nice to meet you.

Bye, then.

She's great.

You obviously didn't need my input.

Eddie, sometimes... Sorry, someone just
shoved this under your office door. Oh,

right. Thank you. Bye. Speak soon.

What is it?

There's a gun in the car.

Sorry, miss. Should have gone up one,
should I?

I don't need to go to details. Just sit
down.

Hey, book's out.

I want you to copy your favourite donut
and tell me why it's your favourite.

Get on with it.

This is somebody's idea of a joke.
Pretty sick joke.

What, a gun? Here, Eddie, on her first
day back. No, I'm not calling her back.

It's ridiculous.

When I find out who's done that...
Rachel, calm down.

I won't calm down. Eddie, this is
Rochdale. It's not happening on my site.

not happening here.

You have to evacuate the school. I'm not
doing that.

I'm not going to pop people through that
again.

It's a fire.

I do not want this school to be full of
panicked and traumatised kids.

This is supposed to be a place of
safety. I know. For the kids. Of course.

listen.

We do this quietly.

Class by class.

We keep it calm.

Controlled. We do it that way and
nobody's going to panic.

Nobody's going to do anything stupid.

Okay?

Okay.

Nobody's going to do anything stupid.
Exactly.

I'll call the police.

And you evacuate the school.

Good.

Right.

Wake up, boy.

Larkin at his most evocative.

Hello. Can I help you? No, mate, you're
all right.

Are you supposed to be in this class?

I'm Earl.

What's your name?

Hiya, I'm Denise.

This is Max.

Ah, well, now that we've got the
introductions out.

Trying to have a conversation here.

I wasn't going to go long.

And that's not you.

I'm not interested, all right.

So there we are.

Not interested?

I haven't even made you an offer yet. I
know what you're offering, and you've

got a pretty high opinion of yourself if
you think this is going to get me to

drop my necklace. Okay, that's it.
You're leaving. You think I've got a

opinion of myself?

Well, it's not as bad as the low opinion
you've got of yourself.

And if I wanted some money, is it?

I'd be talking to you, mate. Ew, you
cheeky cat. You don't even know me.

You ever do?

Right. To the cooler. Why me?

Why? Because you're a slapper.

That's just one of the reasons.

Oi!

Say that back. Just leave it, all right?
No.

Who do you think is talking to you like
that? The teacher.

Look, I don't need you sticking up for
me, all right? Especially when you

created this problem in the first place.

Just back off, will you?

Later, babe.

Oh, and you.

You feel they know I'm me.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

I've got to go. I've got five minutes
left.

No, a lot can happen in five minutes.
What are you talking about?

Just leave it.

Is it something to do with your brother?
I said, just leave it. Don't think you

know me because you don't. And you
should shut it on.

to come in here, did I? I will. Quiet.

Well,

I don't believe you. I won't tell you
again. Quiet!

Mr Lawson, I was just... Yes, okay.

Listen carefully.

I want you all to collect your things
together. Go with Mr Budgen to the

playground. You will do this in absolute
silence.

Do I make myself clear?

Look, I know they were a bit noisy, but
teaching a class outside is punishment.

It's nothing to do with that. Well, as
doctors do it, don't they?

I believe Mr. Lawson said silence.

Oi!

What?

What do you think?

Where are you going?

Somewhere that's not here. Why are you
coming?

No!

Earl, I thought we weren't doing this
again.

Doing what? This.

You acting like a psycho.

Don't call me that.

Why not?

It's the truth, isn't it?

I mean, why else do we keep having to
move? You do something mental and it

back on the rest of us.

Don't call me mental. Well, then stop
acting mental.

Earl, you've been here five minutes and
already you're acting like a nutter.

I won't tell you again.

Don't say stuff like that about me,
okay?

Okay?

Nice one.

I'll see you later, bro.

Come with us. Quiet with me.

What?

Thank you.

What's going on?

I was just going to ask you the same
thing. I don't know. You told us to get

stuff, go outside and be dead quiet.

Right.

Come on, let's see what's happening.

Everybody have your bags open, ready to
be checked, please. Did you hear that?

Bags open, please, and ready.

They've got an excuse for talking. Yes,
ma 'am.

Eden, Charles, Mark.

All of them, Mark.

Yes, ma 'am.

Helen, Sean.

Yes, ma 'am.

It's great, isn't it?

Yeah.

Great.

Come on. We've got some target practice.

It's not just a fire drill.

What are they making everyone sit their
backs out for?

Searching. What for?

Someone's pressed me up.

No one grassed me up.

Watch.

Here's the note.

Well, I think he'll agree we've done
everything we could have done. We've

completely evacuated the school, we've
checked the dragglers, we're in the

process of searching everyone's bags.

Well, I take it that nothing has turned
up? No, not yet.

We're just taking a full register to
make sure no one's missing.

We've taken control of the situation,
Ralph.

As long as everyone's safe.

Have you seen Dante?

No. He's probably messing around in that
stupid van.

Idiot. I could kill him sometimes.

Quiet.

But it's better than catching me with
it. No.

Yeah.

You're a little kid.

Don't slap your wrist, it'll be a laugh.

How?

You know, don't slap the cuffs on you
and that'll take you down the station.

Don't sound like a laugh to me.

Yeah?

Well, no one will be calling you thick
around here anymore, Denzel.

Denzel, mate, they wouldn't dare.

Because then you'd be dangerous.

Just like me.

Go on.

Do it for me.

They catch me with it.

What?

Well, you won't be seeing me around here
for a while anyway.

Then who's going to look after you in
this dump, eh?

It's our mother.

What, and you really think he cares
about you, do you?

Because then you're more stupid than you
look.

I'm the only one that looks after you
around here, Denzel.

You know it.

Go on.

Take it.

Anna Chaitin. Yeah.

Shelley Hay.

Yeah. Earl Kelly.

Earl Kelly.

Here, sir.

I wonder what they're looking for.

They haven't said anything yet.

Whatever it is, it's got them worried.

Yeah.

Only it's not them that need to be
worried, is it?

It's whoever's been shooting the mouth
off.

Do you get it?

Shooting them out, eh?

Mm -hm.

But it could still happen.

Leave me.

Oh, where's Beth?

How would I know?

Come on, there's a killing now, we've
got one. Yeah, come on.

Rachel! Mate!

Let go! Let go!

You've got to listen to me, okay?

We can stop this without anybody getting
hurt.

And all you have to do is put down that
gun, okay?

Put down that gun and you come with me.

They're waiting for me.

The police.

It's okay, Denzel.

They don't want to hurt you.

They're here to make sure nobody gets
hurt, including you.

to help him.

Put down that gun.

Denzel?

Sir, it can't be him. You've got it
wrong.

I'm sorry. I don't think we have.

Well, how would he have got a gun?

I don't know.

Let's hope we get a chance to find out,
eh?

Denzel, I'm only going to give you
another minute and then we are coming

Denzel, I know you're scared.

I promise you that this is nearly over.

Okay?

I'm going to take that gun, and then
it's not your problem anymore.

And it'll all be over.

Right?

We can tell the police your side. We can
tell them what's really going on.

All right, Denzel.

You can keep the gun.

Put the gun down.

Put the gun on the floor.

Put the gun on the ground now.

Put the gun on the floor.

Do it now.

Is he? Well, maybe we should find room
in the back for you and all, eh? He's

okay!

He's not okay!

Dad!

You okay, love?

Yeah, I am.

I'm sorry, love. I've got to go.

It wasn't once enough.

When are you going to get it into your
head that you can't save everybody?

I can try.

You can't say anything.

Wasn't his gun?

Yeah, but it was his psycho brother.
It's just bad luck for him, innit?

Look, it's my fault.

Yeah, I know it is.

Oh, thanks a bunch, Bolton. Listen,
yeah, Earl Kelly's just let his own

get smacked about by the load of coppers
with guns. What he threatened to do to

us, I think he meant it.

Sam, come on, this isn't your job,
Denzel, is it? No, someone's got to say

something. It wouldn't hurt anyone.

You need to say something, Mal. You need
to help him.

I wish I could.

Oh, for God's sake, Sam, stop crying.

It's not like they're going to put him
away or anything.

And how do you know that? It's his first
offence, isn't it?

So you fought his through, then?

I'm just saying.

Oh, don't!

No!

Look, I think you've caused enough
damage for one. You what?

Denzel, have you seen him? Is he all
right? Can he come home now?

He's... He's been... Denzel confessed to
being in possession of an illegal

firearm and I'm afraid he's been taken
into custody.

It's okay, Mum. You'll be all right. You
were supposed to be looking after him.

Look, it's been a long day. We'll take
you all home.

We can manage.

Don't be daft. It's okay.

But we've caused enough trouble already.

Mine. We're not your problem, are we?

Is that what you think?

Marley, like it or not, you three are
walking your pupils now.

So, yes, you are my problem, and you
will be till I say otherwise, right?

That means we expect to see you in
school in the morning.

On time.

OK?

OK, thanks.

So let's sort that lift out.

I can't believe we've come from nice to
good.

What if Dante... I know.

But at least everyone's all right. And
the police have the guns, so... What?

it's just one gun. How many do you think
are out there? Stop it. You're going to

drive yourself mad.

Come on. Let's get a drink.

Oh, dear.

He was a nice boy. Why did you think he
needed a gun? Did you think it made him

look cool?

It's not as black and white as that.

Then explain it to me, because I don't
understand it. You never will.

Why not?

Because you're a girl.

Really? Yeah, really.

You'll never understand how important it
is to never show weakness, to stand

your ground, to say thanks, to stand up
for your mates.

It's all pressure and it's all the time.
And something has to give.

Sorry, I'm... No.

It's good to hear.

Oh, Eddie, I'm not sure this is a good
idea.

Look, just have a drink. Put the lines
at rest. They've had a tough day. Me

That's why I want to go home.

These are on me.

Oh, good.

I'll have a double.

You know what? You deserve it. In fact,
you all deserve it.

You handled things brilliantly today.

Well, I'm glad you think so.

We might not be so lucky next time.

Well, I certainly hope there isn't a
next time.

Sorry, but just hoping isn't really good
enough, is it?

We've all been talking. We'd like you to
put some security measures in place.

Or you could arm us and even up the
odds.

Seriously.

And we don't want to hear about budgets
and school image.

No, that's OK.

I agree with you, it's a good idea.

Right, I'll put the wheels in motion and
by the end of the week I'll have

something in play.

Is that a promise?

Yes, it is.

But the kids are really going to have
lots and lots of questions and we're

to need to give them a lot of
reassurance. But that's tomorrow, so can

those drinks of promise, please?

Yes, the drinks are on me, doubles all
round.

Oh, excuse me.

Hi. Thanks for calling. No, I'm fine.

It was rather frightening.

Look, can you come and pick me up?

Thank you.

So, you're going to tell me?

Tell you what?

About the rug.

The new and improved Grunty Butcher.

I just wanted to take some pride in
myself.

Look at this.

It's a woman, isn't it?

Eh?

You're cheating on Fleur.

No. Yes, you are.

You... have got a bit on the side. No, I
haven't. Yes, you have. I haven't.

It's Fleur that's got a bit on the side.

Hey, where are you?

I've had enough, Eddie. I just want to
go.

If you've really had it, I'll drive you
home.

I don't think anyone should be driving
you tonight, do you?

Then we'll go to Turkey.

I just want to talk.

Eddie. About us.

There is no us. I'm sorry, but there's
nothing to talk about.

to stand here before the fire.

That seems a very long time ago.

I know, but there was something.

I thought we were getting close.

Things have changed.

What? Because I know about your past.

It doesn't make any difference to me and
you should know that.

You're special, Rachel.

Nothing can change that.

Nothing?

Are you sure about that?

Of course.

Let's take a show.

Rachel, I'm sorry. Just leave it.

You're carried away.

You just go.

Have a good night, Jack. See you
tomorrow at school.

See you.

Couldn't have been tougher.

You know, I was... I was dying to get
back, and now I'm worrying if it's the

right thing.

Are you sure you still want to take that
job?

Too right. I can't wait to get stuck in.
And it means I can look after you.

For a change?

Hey, you forget that you're talking to
the new and improved Melissa.

I've told you, I'm not your stupid
little kid sister anymore.

I know, I'm sorry.

We'll be really glad to have you around.

Me too.

Looks like we've finally managed to get
next door.

Shall we go and say hello to one who
knows us?

No.

It would be the friendly thing to do.

What if you feel like being friendly?

What's their problem?

Oh, you know the rule. No public
displays of affection because it is

I beg to differ.

Get in the house!

It's not illegal, you know. It's not
that.

Come on.

What's wrong?

Are you afraid the new neighbours will
think we're immoral?

I don't think you can declare what our
new neighbours think, yeah? What do you

mean?

Hello? What the hell?

Thought I'd treat you to some breakfast.

How are them? There won't be one, Smith.

But everyone likes sausages, don't they?

Oh, come on. Let's get you home. Let's
get you into bed, yeah?
