Ready?

You might have called me when I was
awake, instead of leaving me a poxy

Of course, I was hoping it was going to
be one of these late -night things,

that's what you wake up and think better
of. Well, it's not.

I am resigning, and today is my last
day. Rachel, we've just spent seven days

putting this school back together.

The counsellor you've got in, she's been
great.

That's why now is the right time.

If I had cut and run, I would have
failed the kids, but I did what I had

now I take the next step.

Which is?

I admit that I got it wrong.

I take responsibility for my winter.

Hey!

Not the only early bird.

I went to speak to you last night, miss.

Do you not remember? I asked if you were
going to be there. You said yes.

Well, that was before I remembered I had
this lot waiting for me.

Books don't mark themselves, Janice.

All I had to do was talk about, you
know... Well, that's why Miss Mason

the counsellor in.

Is that the same?

Me and you was both there with Max
when... I can't pretend we weren't. I'm

I just don't see how talking about it
can change anything.

If you want my advice, Janice, get on
with it.

Just like I am.

Morning, Mr. Button.

Is it?

I see your usual smiley self again
today. If I'd known it was compulsory,

have worn clown make -up and brought me
squirty flowers.

You know, I wish I'd met you when I was
doing my dissertation.

Oh, yeah? Why's that?

Well, most people hear what I do, try
and come across all normal.

Not you.

I got a whole textbook out of you.

Blame him for excitement.

She's the counsellor, Grantley. There is
a difference.

I can't believe you preferred that to
us.

Have you seen the way she goes round?
Like she's some sort of babe.

Except, we know she's all right, dog.

So, why don't we check out that new pub,
eh?

Oh, yeah, me with the juice while
everyone else gets trashed. Oh, come on,

I just want to see that smile back on
your face.

Hello, you.

So, how did it go with Miss Haydock?

Yeah, it went great.

We really talked about everything. She
said I can go back whenever.

Good.

What's so funny, you lot? What are you
giggling at? Have a look.

Who did that?

Who did that?

I will find out.

Go on.

Move on.

Cracking the whip?

Uh -huh. Keeping on top of things, yeah.

Now, I thought you might want to be the
first to know my news.

My decree absolute came through. Really,
Melissa? That's brilliant.

Well, that means there's nothing in your
way. You and Eddie can go and get

married. Well, no rush. One step at a
time, eh?

Are you joking?

Kids, anyone said anything?

What are they doing here? All this has
got nothing to do with you. If you could

just get on, please.

Rose, hi.

Can we take this upstairs?

We'll be in two minutes. Yeah.

We've got to get this side, yeah?

Hold on.

Is that the best you can do?

Next week, I want you hitting your
opponent, not tickling him.

OK, mate. Are you going to tell me
what's going on? What?

Next week, you step into the ring, I
want you focused. This week, it's like

you're not even there.

I'm here. I'm training.

All right, OK, go on.

Have your way.

Paul, did you want anything?

Not sure.

Ooh, hey, don't you think you might have
thrown this thickie? I can smell the

fumes ten feet away.

I had a drink last night, so... And the
night before.

And a snifter first, then, to give you
the push to come into this hellhole.

Do you know something, Grantley?

Until I have a nose like yours, I think
twice about giving lectures. Good

morning, everyone.

Just a couple of notices.

Firstly, today is Charlotte's last day.

Whoop -de -doo.

I'd like to say thanks from all of us
for the work you've done with the kids,

because we've really noticed a
turnaround.

Not all my doing.

They're a strong unit.

You don't always find that in school.

And secondly, I have called a governor's
meeting because I want to put on record

all your achievements in, well, you
know, helping to bring the school back

together. So well done, everybody.

We don't need a meeting. Just give us a
bonus.

I'll catch up with you later.

So, no big announcements.

Does this mean you're having a change of
heart?

It's due process, Eddie. I'll talk with
staff when I've spoken with the

governors. Unless they say no.

Well... I'll convince another wife.

Anyway, right now we've got the Kellys
waiting. Rose has brought Marley and Sam

in.

And another one for you, thanks. No.

It's not... Please find out who's been
doing it.

It's not that we've anything important
to do, is it?

Are you okay?

I've got Grantley playing the old woman.
I don't need you at all.

Hey.

Sir. A lot of whispering going on.

Yeah, if I tell you, it goes no further,
okay?

What? It's your sister.

She's going.

It's going to take a while, Dante.

She has lost a close mate.

Do you want me to talk to her?

No. I mean, thanks, but it's just... You
want to be the one to help her.

Oh, I really love her.

Of course.

Then you could make sure that she knows
that.

Chloe feels like her world's turned
upside down right now.

Knowing you're always there for her,
whatever the problem, that would help a

lot.

Yeah.

Thanks. Okay.

Hi. I had to go now with Janice last
night.

So it was you who cooked that up, was
it?

Well, I don't know what you expected,
but I'll tell you what I told her.

To drop moping and get over it.

I told Marley this was a bad idea.

Rose, you must have been aware that some
people would be unhappy to see you. You

can imagine what the kids at this school
have been through.

Bringing Sam and Marley back might not
be the wisest choice. They want us to

kill Maxine, don't worry.

It's like that matters to them.

It's probably them that put our windows
in, Sam. No, no, you're right.

Thinking we could come back was doubt.
So we're just going to go to another

school now and get bullied there, yeah?

Just forget it, all right, Sam?

I was wrong, I'm sorry.

No, no, wait, just wait.

Yes.

It would be simpler if you went to
another school. It would.

I don't think there's no guarantee that
it would be better.

People do read their papers, you know,
Mum.

Just that there's no guarantee coming
back here would work.

Look, all I can promise you is if Sam
and Molly want to return, we will do our

utmost to make sure they feel every bit
as welcome as any other pupil.

Like the headset?

We'll do our best.

If it's what you really want.

Yeah.

Good. So let's sort out some catching up
with schoolwork, shall we? Just wait a

minute.

So how are you going to do that?

Support them when you're not even here.

It's the right thing, isn't it?

So what, you just make everything neat
and tidy and then go?

Something like that, yes.

Miss?

What's French for concerned?

Soucier. You should know that, Alicia.

Soucier. What?

Sorry, how many S's are there?

Soucier. Danielle, one S.

Careful, mate, she's spitting.

I don't spit, Alicia.

Oh, that was nasty.

Oh, I see.

Some little joke, is it, on account of
me having had too many sherrys last

night? Some little joke.

Well, can't you bless him, madam? I
could have gone overboard on the garlic

well. I want a hand pong and cheese.
Yeah.

I think Bolton's bitten me to it.

You've got a face like sour milk.

Bad as that, is it?

Think it's right, do you?

Making jokes after what happened.

Back to work.

I did half -getty not to tell anyone.

And I'm your sister, so why?

And not the rubbish you tell everyone
else either.

Not true.

I'm tired.

Oh, Rach, you know, that kind of goes
with the job.

No, I mean, I am really tired of
worrying and going over every decision

wondering have I got it right.

You know, you're exactly the same when
you were a kid. Everything just so.

But why dwell on all the things that
could go wrong? Why not focus on the

positive things?

Because that's just not how I see it,
Mel.

What I see is my mistake in keeping Earl
here.

I just don't trust my own judgment
anymore.

I don't.

That's why I've got to go.

And when you've done that, give it a
washing up, dry in, and don't forget the

lasagna.

Hiya. I should have come.

Are you joking? I mean, have you seen
how busy we are?

How have you been?

So you couldn't pick up the telephone
and give us a ring?

Hmm?

Come here.

Oh.

Why don't you just tell them what's
going to happen?

Oh, yeah, tell Miss Mason. The new Earl
had gone from day one.

Why not? If you do it, I will.

You're doing nothing.

Really want everyone to know we could
have stopped her and didn't.

And you're proud of that?

Because I ain't.

Of course not.

Chill.

If it weren't for us, Maxine wouldn't be
dead.

I want Janine's court down.

Mr. Evans. Hi,

Adam. Hi.

Can you tell me what this meeting's
about? Yes, absolutely. Follow me.

I've been looking for you.

I've booked him a pay dog.

Why lie?

She told me to just get on with it.

It's what I want, miss.

To go back to how I was.

You can't do that by shutting off.

I'm sure you know what you're doing.

Do your part, Dad.

Don't forget, you said your sub was 20
quid.

No, it was 15.

And that's if you wash the limo inside
and out at weekend.

Oh, come on, man. There's no army
rounding up, though, is there?

You're lucky I'm up to my eyes in
bookings here. Ah, you're a legend, Dad.

man. Oi, don't forget, yeah? Do exactly
like I said. I know.

Fuck man, see you in a bit.

Yes, Miles, gonna need your help later.

Hey, come on, mate, lighten up, yeah?
You ain't the only one that don't want

back, you know?

The Kellys, what do you need?

What's going on? I've got these school
dinners to get on with.

Well, hopefully you're doing the right
thing.

Can we get on?

There's no agenda, I assume because you
wanted to discuss recent events.

Well, in part, yeah.

Obviously the LEA will compile its own
report.

It won't hurt to show that we're ahead
of the game.

I'm thinking sweeping changes.

Fresh look at everything. Then again,
change for change's sake never solves

anything. The important thing now is to
trust the people here to put Waterloo

Road right. Meaning what? Everything's
fine? The school's running well? Let's

simply close our eyes? No.

No, Leon, you're right. Something did go
wrong.

And if we're to learn from that, we have
to accept it.

Just as I have to accept my
responsibility.

It wasn't a failing by myself.

It was my decision to persevere with
Earl.

I thought I could make a difference.

And whether that was arrogance or
naivety, it was wrong.

Hold on, Rachel.

And because of that, I'd like you to
accept my resignation.

With immediate effect.

Thank you.

Dissonant, meaning unusual in
combination. Anyone got an example from

passage that we just read? Paul?

Paul?

I've worked with a number of heads and
Rachel's the best by a country mile.

My advice, take that letter and bin it.
Eddie.

This school is better on all counts
because of her.

If this school works.

It's because of Rachel Mason.

No one else.

What's going on, Paul? Get out of the
way. What do you think you're doing?

You know nothing.

You are dead, man. We want you and your
family out of here. Colin, this is

stupid. I was just going to keep things
quiet.

He won't quieten that. It's enough from
you. That was for hell, man. That's what

I should have done from day one.

He was just as bad as him. Now, mate,
where am I to start this?

Okay, I'll start it. Just calm down, all
right? Right, do you want to tell me

what's going on here? And what should
you have done to world day one, Bolton?

Hey, what?

Get your lessons down. Go on.

Go!

Someone please tell me.

What started this?

Oh, tell me, Miss Mason, now.

Right, you're going to keep it to
yourself. Fine, you get to the cooler.

Davina, can you make sure he gets there?

Yeah.

Paul, I'll speak to you later. Go on.

I'll take care of him. I'll call the
school doctor. No, it's fine. I don't

a doctor.

We'll be the judge of that, thank you.
Now, let's get this sorted.

Right, shall we get inside? I'm really
sorry about this.

Really, I apologise for that. No, no,
it's me that should be apologising.

Miss Mason, this school needs strong
leadership, something I know you can

I don't want you to go.

I think you're being rash.

We can't have any doubts coming from the
top.

Take until close of play.

If you're still determined, then it's
best it's done as quickly and

as possible.

Joyce, a copy to every member of staff,
please.

You're sending the staff letters when
he's given you another six hours to make

up your mind. It's already made up.

You're wasting your breath. I'm leaving
teaching, Eddie. Hang on. Leaving

teaching? Yes, a fresh start. Why not?
Because it's your life.

Not anymore.

But I'm recommending you for the job.
Me?

I'm a married man. You'll be favoured by
the board. Excuse me, I need to see

Marley.

Someone's got to have a pop.

Maybe I got off light.

Marley, it's no joking matter.

What would you have me do? Cry?

I'm just saying, if Bolton belting me
means things getting back to normal

quicker, then I can live with that.

No, he said your family didn't do
normal.

Well, maybe things are going to change.

And maybe, well, getting banged up is
the best thing that could have happened.

You're glad?

No, he's my brother. I just... If it
means the rest of us getting a chance,

why not?

It looks worse than it is, miss.

Well, that doesn't matter. The point is,
I don't condone violence.

So get cleaned up and get into my
office.

Let's put an end to this now.

Right, one top dollar, yeah? Don't want
no stanky leftovers.

Donny Charles.

Yeah, thanks for getting back to us,
boss.

Here's the thing.

I'm in a bit of a position to put a lot
of business your way.

So, let's talk about a free sample.

Yeah?

Right.

I'll tell you what, mate. I'll get back
to you on that one. Don't take my van.

It was here.

Yeah, I know, babe. That's who was on
the phone to the police.

You think it's stolen?

It's bright purple with my name on it.
Who the hell would...

Kids? Oh, we were fed up with joyriding.
Wanted to do a bit of styling and some

crimping as well. Yeah, totally agree
with you, babe.

It's a mystery.

Well, maybe they should check out the
old people's home. You know, look out

anyone with a suspicious perm.

You thought they wouldn't notice.

A pack of hyenas, that lot.

Now, they see a weakness, they go for
it. It's the same as those pictures of

Jasmine. The kids didn't mind, Grantley.
They were having a right laugh.

Oh, and that's what you want, is it? To
be a figure of fun?

Yeah, well, we get that without giving
them ammunition.

Why are you going on about it?

It's no big deal.

All it is is that the house is too quiet
without Maxine to boss around.

What else am I going to do? I don't
believe it.

Have you guys read this?

More rah -rah from Miss Mason.

Hardly rah -rah, Grantley.

She's quit.

What? There must be someone playing a
joke.

Well, some of our kids have got a fixed
NPU, Matt, but none of them who can

spell quite as well. Well, someone has
to talk her out of it.

Look, I'll talk to her, but what do I
say?

What you think.

You know, what we all think.

I hope that doesn't include me.

No, the king is dead. Long live the
king.

Whoever sat in that chair, they all like
the same. That's crap.

And you know it. Yeah, come off it,
Grant, that she's pulled you out the

enough. Yeah, not just you.

For God's sake, will you get over it?

You'll be wanting to give her a
sainthood next.

Well, I for one am glad she's going.
Which will really put the skill on the

Yes, for somewhere that accepts all the
dregs, maybe.

It's a shame she didn't do it before.

He might still be alive.

I won't pretend I don't know what this
is about, but I need the fact. So, um,

Marley, did he do anything to provoke
Bolton?

Oh, he gets beaten up and it's his
fault, is it? I would breathe him.

That was enough.

Miss Mason asked you a question, Marley.

No, I did nothing.

Is that right, Bolton?

You're in trouble, lad. Don't make it
worse.

What's the point?

You all saw what I did.

He's a scanty old, uh, Bolton.

OK, Marley, thank you. It's obvious
you're not to blame.

You can go.

Rose, I'll speak with you later, OK?

OK, Bolton.

Now, what did Paul mean by keeping it
quiet?

Nothing. I'm not stupid.

So I haven't finished business there?

I was out of reach, so you have a go at
his brother?

Or maybe attacking Marley was just for
starters. I mean, well, you've been

on about...

No -one wanting this family here. Maybe
you're driving them out to impress your

mates. I don't need to impress anyone.

Really? Fine.

You wait outside, please.

Look,

let me talk to him and I'll get truth.

We can't let something like this lie.

It's up to us to find out what's going
on.

What does that mean?

What's going to happen to him? I'll try
talking with him, but to be honest,

there's really not a lot I can do about
it now. And you're still set on going?

So there'll be a new headmaster and new
punishments.

I'll leave a detailed report, you know,
describing how I deal with it. That's

going to do a lot of good. Look, please.

Miss Messon, Bolton listened to you.

What do you want, Matt?

I'm worried about you.

Worried about the booze or the foul
temper?

All of it.

Steph, this isn't you.

So you've come here to tell me how the
real Steph would behave, have you?

Of course not. Only I'm not cut out for
widow's weeds, Matt.

How am I supposed to behave?

How am I supposed to be to make everyone
else happy?

Eh?

Come on, if you're such an expert.

I just want you to know... You know
where I am.

So

you

don't think the school's already had its
fill of violence, then, Bolton?

Sit.

Not a word.

I've been sort of co -opted. Really,
there's no point.

There is no -one in that staff room that
wants you to go.

I don't want you to go.

Change frightens people.

You know, two weeks with a new head,
we'll all move on. We don't need a new

head.

It isn't just the kids that are
benefited, it's all those lot as well.

That's because you're good teachers and
you don't need me for that. It should be

me that goes, not you.

I mean, no -one's saying it, but I'm
head of pastoral care. If anyone loused

with Earl Kelly, it was me. Sorry, Tom,
I'm not backing down on this.

Just wait a minute, James. Thank you, I
really appreciate it.

It'll only take a minute.

Is Bolton OK?

No, he's not. He's in big trouble.

It's not only Bolton.

He's been like... Like what?

Off.

Max was my mate, but... He's took it
harder.

I don't know why.

OK.

Miss Mason's put a lot of work in with
you. And what? I never asked her to.

So that makes it all right, then, does
it?

To chuck it all back at her?

Just get out of my face, man.

You know what, Bolton? It's that kind of
attitude that makes me wonder why we

bother.

It's no wonder Miss Mason wants to leave
if this is how you repay her.

Hiya, busy?

Oh, I think this is Rachel's way of
making sure I don't talk any sense into

She's got me hunting for whoever's
behind this. Yeah.

Oh.

Oh, that's nice.

I get this every day after a stressful
day at work.

Being the head honcho.

Rachel wants me to go for the headship.

Are you going to?

I'd prefer her to stay, but it looks
like I won't get that choice.

Still, I've got a wedding to look
forward to, eh?

You do still want to get married?

Of course I do. You know, Rachel's my
sister, and it seems unfair that we're

making all these plans and she's going
to be left with nothing, that's all.

Do you want to delay things?

If you do, just say, Mel, I want to do
this, but you need to want it too.

Ignore me. I'm just being silly.

I don't suppose you could throw in a
couple of 11 -baller watches, could you?

What's this in there, doll?

Ah, no, no, I'll be telling when it
missed.

When it's ready for this afternoon,
yeah?

Can you believe it? Me taking orders
from a 17 -year -old.

You know what our Bolton said?

You know I don't believe that, don't
you?

Yeah.

Anyway, you know, you and I have got
more to worry about than that.

Nathan's only gone and quit.

She can't do.

She looks sick as a pig about it, but
Evans has given it to end at day and

it's accepted.

You know what that means, don't you?

People are going to blame us.

And they'd be right.

Best to know, innit?

Right, listen to me. A's on that side,
B's on this side. Come on, quick as you

like.

Hey, what's she want?

Bolton has got something playing on his
mind.

Jeanette doesn't even know what it is.
Yeah, I know. He's been off his training

all week.

Really? All week. Alicia, did I say
collect the oranges or take all day?

on, come on, let's go.

Hey, wait until you hear this.

I see Paul knows more than he's telling
us as well.

Hmm.

You offering me on?

No, straight up.

Are you twelping out or having a gossip
with each other?

And you won't be so lippy once your best
mate's been chucked out. What are you

on about?

He doesn't know.

I'm not balling to hit Marley, if that's
what you mean. Which means he's for it.

Actually, now Mason's resigned.

Yeah, true. I heard.

Bet you anything she had no choice,
neither.

With either that, I'll get booted.

Well, someone was going to have to cop
for it, for what happened with her. Why

not shut it, eh? You don't know nothing,
the pair of you.

Got him?

Do you fancy Mason or something?

He's gone all red.

Dream about a deal, yeah?

Sir, Paul would have seen who's first
pick would be.

Shut it. In a line.

Oh, Paul, Miss Mason wants a word.

All right?

Yeah.

Do you like me?

No.

Babe, look.

But the thing is, I just brought in a
bit of stuff, you know, cos... Just give

it to her.

So?

Do you think she's guessed anything?

Oh, no, of course not.

Defo.

So do you want to tell me what that was
about earlier?

Don't know what you mean, miss.

You know, you'd be a lot more convincing
if you could look me in the eye.

Bolton had a reason for hitting Marley,
I know that. And there's something he

doesn't want you to tell me about, so
what is it for?

No, miss.

You still haven't told me what you meant
by keeping it quiet? What was that?

In case I didn't make myself clear,
Bolton is in big trouble, so what do I

know? I don't know.

If you want to know, ask him.

It's Bolton.

Good timing.

You could kill a cuppa.

I, um... I just wondered what you
thought would be achieved by me talking

Janice.

For her?

A chance to draw a line?

Closure.

It's a bit hackneyed, I know.

But it seems to work.

And talking would make everything all
right, would it? You don't make

like this right.

All any of us can do is find a way to
live with it.

Same way as Janice is.

She shared the last moments of her
mate's life.

She needs to make sense of that.

So why does that have to include me?

It doesn't.

Not if you're set against.

Good. Because I am.

Though it wouldn't be all one -way
traffic.

Do I look like I'd be sitting around
hanging my emotions out to dry?

Probably not.

I imagine you're a very resourceful
woman.

Strong.

But you'd have to be.

Not for many could go back to living in
a house with so many memories.

Knowing it's where Max died.

I manage.

I don't doubt.

Which is why I sought your help.

My help?

The truth is, Janice has me beat.

I mean, I know there's something that
she's still fighting.

It's as if she feels guilty for what
happened.

Guilty? What for?

That's what I hoped you might find out.

Stupid cut -and -paste pictures.

What is this?

You two putting a bid in to go back to
reception?

Sorry, sir. Sorry?

Doesn't even start to make up for what
you did.

So? I'm waiting.

I'm glad it's you, sir.

Huh?

Makes sense, Dylan.

Because no one else will get it, sir.

So I tried to keep it all in.

This is about what happened?

Lee, she's been making out like she
could cope.

We both have.

You're saying you're not?

Why didn't you just say?

Trying to put on a daft act is silly.

Right, here's what we're going to do.

You're excused from classes.

I want you to go and talk to the
counsellor, yeah?

So this is it.

Your whole teaching career in a plastic
box. Don't start, Eddie.

I just thought it might still be a way
of talking you round.

Well, it's not.

Well, if you're hell -bent on going, I
suppose it'd be daft not to put in for

it.

Have you changed your mind?

It'd be weird to see my name up there
instead of yours. Well, I'm glad.

I'm just thinking of the kids. They've
had enough upheaval.

So, what do you want to do?

What do you mean?

When are you planning on telling them?

Oh, I hadn't thought.

Rachel, the kids deserve a bit more than
just a letter home.

Oh, unless you were planning on just
sloping off.

Only I thought Waterloo Road still meant
something to you. You know it does.

I just wish I was leaving with a cleaner
slate.

Well, if you're talking about our
phantom poster sticker -upper, that's

with. I'm not.

I'm talking about Bolton.

Of all the kids, I thought that he was
the one that I made a difference to.

And even Paul, I don't get that.

Paul was a little sidekick.

Well, his best mate is in big trouble
and he's not doing anything to help him.

All I get is this wall of silence from
both of them. Well, that's their

Yeah, but what if Candice was right?
What if the LEA do bring in a temporary

head with a mandate to come down hard?

That'll be your problem. You'll be gone.

Yeah, but I can't leave it like that.

Until I leave here, this is still my
responsibility.

I think it's cute.

But why a puddle?

Eddie's dealing with it. I really don't
know where he gets angry.

You were different, were you?

I'd want something a little bit more
masculine. Maybe a German shepherd or a

boxer. What the hell was he playing at?
Come off it, Chloe.

How many blokes do you know make sense?
Bringing my dressing to school, waving

it around.

It's weird even by Dante's standards.
Probably just him being daft.

Meaning what?

I don't know.

Straight A's and you're still a pretty
crap liar.

Are you going to tell me what's going on
or what?

Fine, I'll just ask Dante. No, you
can't.

It'll spoil it.

That'd be what happened.

Like the... Only, suppose... I just want
to be loved.

Well, we all want that.

Go on.

For who I am, I mean.

I keep thinking that my friends think
that I'm getting good maths because of

looks.

And how does this make you misbehave?

It's still they say that I'm not
cleverer than them.

Or, if I am, it doesn't really matter.

I'm just the same as them.

It's a cry for help, miss.

Sorry, I'm not sure I'm getting this.

Are you saying the cause of your
misbehaviour is Maxine or because you

be accepted?

Both. We were wondering if it's, like,

survivor's guilt.

What have I done to deserve all this?

Clever, good -looking.

Yes, I can see how it might do.

What are you doing? Oh, sorry.

Just notes.

For your case study.

Case?

Firstly, what I'm about to tell you is
nothing to be scared about.

What you're describing are elements of
borderline sociopathic behaviour.

An inability to fit in.

All I said was that I want to be loved.
Which may require some special care.

Hold on.

We're not special needs.

Either that, or you're too very vain,
self -centered girl to have chosen to

an awful situation for all it's worth.
But I can't believe that.

No, wait.

Will you marry me?

Mm -hmm.

So what are you going to do?

Depends. Maybe I don't want to marry
someone that parades around in my

Maybe instead of saying, I will, I'll...
I won't. You can't. You're already

married.

Anyway, what if Dante does like wearing
dresses?

It's quite a turn on.

Yes, babes.

Come on. I've got a surprise for you.

Mark found the perfect pair of tights to
set off your legs.

Well, come with me and you'll see.

We're about to do our nails.

You can join us if you want.

Babes, please.

I'm going to have to blindfold you.

I thought we should have another talk,
Paul. Without any distractions.

I want to know what your Matthew said.

You'd already tried.

Was that about what Bolton has planned
for the Kennys?

What? No.

That's what it seems like. It seems to
me like Bolton, Fionnuala get locked up

and Fonth is being top man again.

No, Miss Honest.

Why else would he attack Marnie?

If it wasn't to intimidate him.

Bolton's back to being a thug. Is that
right?

Look, you've got this wrong. Then put me
right.

Paul, I don't know if you realise, but
whatever Bolton has in mind, you're as

culpable as he is. Me? Yes, you.

If you know what it is, of course.

And if you think you could just let it
all blow up and then pretend that you

could do nothing about it, you are
kidding yourself.

Oh, Paul.

Come on.

This girl's been through enough.

Do you really think that we need to take
Bolton for the thing? way, though.

He's not. Then tell me.

I tried before, didn't I?

Explain what you mean.

The note on the first day of term.

It was me.

You wrote that note? About there being a
gun in the school?

How did you know that?

You sure as it?

A friend has told us not to say
anything.

Wait a minute.

So Denzel shows you a gun.

You must have known the danger in that
to everyone.

But you don't say anything. You leave a
note that could have been dismissed as a

hoax. Nor me.

It wasn't him.

It wasn't Denzel who had the gun.

It was Earl.

How could he do that?

I don't know, Rose.

To his own brother.

And what does that say about me?

to do something like that.

They should just lock me away as well.

It's the best place for me.

One away from the other kids where I
can't hurt them anymore.

No, you've got that wrong.

All your children need you.

Late for that. It's not all so bad,
Rose.

Denzel is innocent.

We have got a chance of getting him out.

Go on, keep going. Keep going, babe.

You ready?

Yeah.

One, two, three.

Wow, so you unnicked it and did all
this?

No, I did. Well, that was me dad and me
nan.

What are they going on all day with it
or something?

No. Bro, it's all about blessing it.

You already knew?

Yeah, but it's a little too long.

Well,

I always want to be with you.

And I want you to know that you can rely
on me no matter what I promise.

I just want to let you know.

Only our way.

In our words.

I never thought I'd be coming to see a
counsellor hard boot like me.

Why not kick off, Denise?

What was it you wanted to say to Steph?

Come on.

I can't get your tongue.

In which case, why don't I set the ball
rolling?

I just wanted to know if she was angry.

If she was still angry with me.

Why angry?

We had a fight and, um...

I was too busy to listen to her.

I just wonder what would have happened
if I had.

And then we didn't have time to make it
up, so... She probably hates me.

No, miss.

I'm not like that at all.

Well, you would say that.

But it's true.

She were cooking.

She said what a right mess she'd been
to.

She wanted to make it up.

By making tea.

She said you always got something
special when she went out.

She said that.

She said lots.

That she couldn't have asked for a
better mum.

I can't believe I missed it.

What, like the rest of us did?

Yes, but it's my job.

Well, thank God you're still doing it
then.

Right. I've spoken with the LEA legal
officer.

The first thing you two need to do is to
wear an affidavit.

You write down what happened and sign it
with a lawyer present.

Now, you're going to be admitting to
withholding the full story.

I'm going to leave it to the lawyer to
explain what that might mean for you.

Yeah.

Bolton?

No. What?

I ain't doing that.

You know what, Bolton? I can kind of
understand why you wouldn't want it

out before, but now... I'm not doing it.

Denzel Kelly's being held in a young
offenders institute. He has been charged

with something he didn't do, and you're
his best chance of getting out of there.

And like I said, I never saw no gun, so
I ain't signing nothing.

The only one Matt should be angry with
is me.

Oh, don't be stupid.

Why is that?

Why do you think?

I left her in there with him.

Even though she told me to go, I didn't
have to.

You left Maxine and Earl when she warned
you to, but went back.

It was too late.

Earl had already lost it.

If I hadn't, it would have gone.

If you hadn't, what?

Maybe you wouldn't have killed her.

Listen, Janice, we both knew Max and we
both loved her,

but we also knew that she was her own
person.

you were no more to blame than anybody
else if anything that you were the one

that tried to save her you even put
yourself at risk so it should be me

thanking you for being with us she would
have been so scared but she had you

What do you mean you won't say?

You're flaming well, well. Candice, that
won't work unless Bolton decides to

help with his own accord. Anything he
says is useless.

So if you want my Denzel, stay locked
up.

He's your mate. Make him see.

Rose, we can only go with what we've
got.

Oh, Paul, I've spoken with your
guardian. She says it's fine for me to

to see Denzel's lawyer. Yeah, and you
can take that great lump with you as

Let him see what a coward he is. I'm not
used to be so proud of you.

Yeah, then at least the lawyers can see
we're trying.

Er, Rose, I'll let you know what
happens. No, I need a lift.

I need to see Denzel.

Right.

Well, is Denzel coming home or not,
then?

I've just got to hope, yeah?

Mate, come here.

You best get back.

Go on.

I almost don't want to get my hopes up.

Worst thing is, I knew.

How do you mean? In my gut.

That first day, I asked Den what Earl
was up to.

I was thinking about something else. I
was at a mediums thing.

Thinking about what?

And it's not going to be for much
longer, then.

There's some nice people trying to get
you out.

You wait and see, baby. I swear it's
true.

Miss Mason from the school.

She'll get you home, then.

And things will be better, then.

I promise.

Boy,

this is Miss Broward. She's Denzel's
solicitor.

Which one's Paul?

Thanks for coming in.

There are a couple of things I need to
warn you about.

First, when you sign your affidavit, you
will be admitting withholding evidence.

Second, you will be expected to explain
what you say in front of a court.

Unless they're persuaded that you were
intimidated by Earl, you could face

charges yourself.

Still willing to proceed?

Perhaps you could have a word.

Yes, of course.

What is it with you, Bolton?

Hmm?

Haven't you got enough people putting
themselves on the line here?

You and I made a deal, do you remember?

I remember.

You do your best and I support you.

So why are you throwing that back in my
face? And how could I have got you so

wrong?

What I saw in you was someone who was
worth going out on a limb for, not

who would leave an 11 -year -old child
scared and in a place he shouldn't be.

If I knew how little you cared about
anyone else, I'm not sure that I would

backed you.

Your mum, Denzel, Paul, me, how many
more people are you going to let down

Bolton? What about yourself?

Tell her.

Tell me what?

Bolton, she's going to find out.

That we kept quiet and now Maxie's dead.

Clarkson says you're leaving.

Is that because of this? What Earl did?

Partly. It's not your fault.

Then show me that I can be right about
something.

I'm sure I was right to believe in you.

One condition.

If I speak, then you stay.

What? Well, it weren't your fault.

I never fessed up because I was scared.

It was because I was scared of what Earl
would do to me.

So, if I speak, then you stay.

Deal?

Well, we're out the other side with
Janice anyway, and Steph.

What did you tell them?

It doesn't work that way.

It's what they told themselves.

When something random happens, it's easy
to feel like you've lost control, that

events are running you, not the other
way. Tell me about it.

With Rachel going, on top of which, I've
got a wedding to plan.

Oh, I thought planning a wedding would
be fun.

Well, if I can figure out, you know,
whether to crack on or hold me horses,

maybe. Well, there you go, then.

You're letting it all run you.

What you need is to grab control back.

How do you do that?

Are you serious?

I don't know.

All right.

Work out what it is you want and go for
it.

Make people dance to your tune.

Talking of which, I'm supposed to be at
a wedding.

Hiya. Candice.

What are you doing this afternoon?

I'm waiting for our boat, and why?

How about me and you stop Rachel Mason
from having it all her own way for once?

All right, stop that.

All right.

I don't care if he's in back. Get him
out.

Eddie Lawson, Deputy Ed Waterloo Road.

Yeah, although, Debs, it's a bit money.

Brother?

Read

it

back. Anything you want to change,
there.

Promise. To love you, try to make things
right for you, and to look after you,

and to be there for you whenever you
need me. My name is Bolton Smiley. On

first day of term, I was witness to a
pupil at Waterloo Road carrying a gun.

I promise to always try and make you
happy, to be a good mother to our child.

Earl warned us if we said anything, we
were dead.

And I promise I'll always love you.

I'm ashamed I never said nothing.

I want Mrs Kelly to know I never meant
it to get this bad.

I'm sorry for what I did.

Signed, Bolton Henry Smiley.

You do realise how proud I am of you
two, don't you?

Do you want to tell him?

Good news, man.

I reckon Denzel will get let out and all
that sort of things.

And about hitting you... Oh, mate,
forget it.

I barely felt it.

Hey, Dante, Chloe, how did it go?

Yeah, it went really well, miss.

Yeah, brilliant.

Thanks. Go on, John, you deserve it.

I think you deserve a drink as well.

Eddie, there's something I should tell
you. And there's something I should tell

you too.

Better still, I'll let him do it.

Hey, Leon, should we go to your office?

Why not?

Yeah.

Mr Great, where's Ed?

Start off. We need to speak.

What? While Dante's laid on his green
ash?

Please, Denise, it's pretty serious.

You're dumping me a summit?

OK.

Mrs Smiley and Eddie were most
effective.

If the messages on my phone are anything
to go by.

Spoken to every governor, and they all
want you to stay.

Rachel, I said earlier that this school
needs leadership.

The only doubt was whether you still
felt able to offer that.

You demonstrated you can.

We want you to stay.

So, what's it to be?

I'm really sorry.

You've gone to so much work. I've
already made my mind up. In fact, Bolton

it up for me.

I'm not going.

I want to stay.

If you knew about her, why not stay?

Before everyone would kick up.

It's weird what you'd think.

I'd think.

I didn't want everyone thinking I was a
coward.

I used to follow you.

I didn't tell no one because I was all
scared of him.

So, like, if that's it between us,
then... I want you.

I used to know one.

He's a sick one.

I've got to move on.

I heard it was good news.

There's another glass there if you want
one.

Oh, no thanks, I've got the bike.

I just wanted to say bye, and you know
where I am. Thank you, Charlotte. Thanks

for everything. No problem.

Right, finish this, then back to work.

Why am I not surprised?

If anyone thought keeping me here was
the easy option, they thought wrong,

because this school does need to change,
and I'm going to see that it happens.

You won't find me arguing.

Right, I've got to print something off.
Oh?

Something Charlotte said about making
decisions for myself.

Right, night -night, then.

Hi. I thought you weren't coming.

I just wanted to get something printed
off. Now, you're good at this sort of

thing. What's 22 degrees Celsius in an
old money?

What? Fahrenheit. What does 22 come out
of?

What are you on about?

Average daytime temperature in Barbados
this time of year. Why would I want some

of that?

So, you know what to pack.

I've just bought us a holiday.

No, perhaps.

We leave the day we break up.

Two weeks all in.

White hand.

I don't know what the best bit is.

There's more.

They do weddings.

What do you mean?

What put this on?

I just thought, if we keep worrying
about what the other one wants, we'll

make a decision. So I made one.

In just over a week's time, we'll be
lawfully wed.

I just can't say there's a few of us
over the road, if you fancy. Oh, Tom,

you, but it's been a long day, hasn't
it?

Well, the offer's there.

Well, and this.

You would have got it sooner, but I'm
strictly a one -finger person when it

comes to typing.

Oh, Tom.

Resigning is head of pastoral care.
You're really honest. You don't need to.

Look, all I'm doing is jumping before
I'm pushed.

And whilst I'm grateful if you're just
about to try and talk me out of it, we

both know it's for the best.

Yeah, thank you.

Well, if you change your mind about
coming for a drink.

We can do whatever you want, babe.

I want to move out the flat.

It was really, really fun when it
started, but it's just not all done.

Yeah, yeah, I know, babe. I know.

I've got an idea.

How do I counter these two? I think
they're serial wedding fiends.

Everybody get a balloon.

Hey, what's going on? Just do it.

This is for Maxine.

I just wanted to do something for
Maxine.

To say goodbye.

Do you know what to say?

Best way of nothing.

Max used to puke when Margaret fucked
up.

Right, has everyone got one?
