- It's a design competition, and the
winner takes £5,000.

- No, not going to happen.

- Michael, listen...

- Connor told me...
- About?

- Your drink problem.

- It's not that I don't approve.

I just think there are better ways to
motivate the pupils than money.

- I was thinking of maybe fostering.

- Excellent idea.

- You don't think I'll make a pig's
ear of it?

- I am not your mother, Madi, and I
don't want to be!

- I don't want to move out.

- I didn't think you'd darken my door
again.

To what do I owe the pleasure?

- Done?

Brilliant. That's me for another year.

- You haven't even seen it yet.

- There's no need. I trust you.

DOORBELL RINGS

That'll be the post.

It's good, that.

BOY SIGHS

- He's not going to be happy, you
know.

- If I win, my picture will be in the
paper.

- DOOR SLAMS

- Mum might see it.

- So? Who cares about her? She left
us, remember?

- You're not leaving that there.

- Fine, I'll take it outside.

- Have you washed your hands?

You really like it? It's all
sustainable wood.

- Morag, you know as well as I do,
sustainability is a

confidence trick by big corporations
who plant forests to get rich, yeah?

I love it. It's brilliant. Come here.

I'm really proud of you, and the
school will be proud of you too.

Now go and get ready.

- This competition is about unlocking
the potential in every pupil.

We seek the unique. Nothing more,
nothing less.

Thanks, Neil.
- Thanks, Miss Donnegan.

- Mum gets the results from the
doctor's today.

- Alcoholics aren't known for doing
what their doctor says.

- Don't say that. Alcoholic.

It's just a word that people throw at
somebody that drinks.

It means nothing.

She's off the drink, and she's not
going back.

- Are you sure? I mean...

- I believe her this time. She really
means it.

- That's good enough for me.

- Nice bench, Connor.

If I was betting man I'd put a tenner
on him.

- Connor?

I hope you haven't been discussing our
business again with...

..Little Miss Loopy over there.

- Of course not, and stop calling her
that.

- Just remember if she starts
spreading lies...

- She's not going to say anything.

I hope it all goes well today at the
doctor's.

- Me too. I'll let you know.

- You've done really well, Mum,
whatever happens.

- Shows you what bands are playing in
your area.

- Wow, that's so amazing.

- I can't believe you haven't got a
mobile.

I couldn't live without this.

- Hey, did you know it takes 32 kilos
of CO2 to

manufacture just one mobile phone?

I bet you didn't know that either.

- No, I didn't, no.

- What's that?

- That's for recycling human waste.

I should come into the school and give
a talk on freeganism -

alternative strategies for living.

It's not all about raking through
bins.

- I'll have a word with Mr Byrne.

- It's not him you need to worry
about.

It's that Donnegan.

Where there's money like that, there's
always some kind of power.

- Too right. Five big ones.

- Shall we get this on the trailer?

- Wait a minute. What do you mean,
"Five big ones"?

- We're running a little competition,
just to keep the kids motivated.

- I knew you were up to something.

So what does the winner of this
competition get?

- Money towards uni fees.

5,000.

- £5,000?

I don't believe this.

I thought schools were meant to fight
against paying fees, not support them.

What's Byrne got to say about this?

- Mr Murray, it's just a competition.

- Dad, just leave it. Sir, can we go?

- No, nobody's going anywhere. Morag,
you just stay right where you are.

- Where's he going?
- I think you should leave.

- This now represents everything I've
ever fought against.

- Dad, it's just a bench.

- No. It's a disgusting attempt to
bribe children.

- OK, could we just calm down, please?

- You're either with me, or you're
against me.

- What's this going to achieve?
- A lesson.

A lesson in standing up for yourself
and your family.

You can do better than that, Morag.

- Mr Murray, please.

This is out of order, mate. This is
wrong.

- Have you got kids of your own?

You ever thought about trying to teach
them the difference between

right and wrong?
- Yeah, but not like this.

Come on.

- Ewan, go and get your school stuff.

- What're you doing?

- Er, nothing.

I'm Kevin, first day.

- Phoenix. This is Scout.

- Did you do that?

- Yeah, what's wrong with it?

- Nothing. Good poster.

- Hey! What do you think you're doing?

That could have hit us there.

- Oh, no way, sir, simple parabolic
curve.

Had it all worked out.

- What did you just say?

- Nothing. I missed anyway. Big deal.

- Pick the can up.

- New boy. You know his name?

- I know his middle name - trouble.

- Hey.

Good news?

- It's nothing important.

- I know things have been a bit
strained between us,

but you don't have to hide things from
me.

You got a job on a cruise ship?

- Not yet.

- Well, you'd have to quit school.
You've got exams.

- We both know it's a waste of my
time.

I'm going to fail anyway.

- You don't know that.

I mean, you can't be serious, this is
for a cabin maid.

- But it's a job. And I'll get to
travel the world.

OK, I know it's a bit...

- You can't solve your problems by
running away

and you are so much better than this.

- All right, well, it's my life.

I can do what I want with it.

- Madi...

- Freegans?

Do they not rootle about in bins and
knit their own yogurts?

- Well, there's a bit more to it than
that.

The poor kid was devastated, her dad
just lost it.

- Well, it sounds like the behaviour
of a class A bully.

I mean, if he's capable of that in
front of you

what's he going to be like behind
closed doors? There's losing it and
then

there's abuse. I'll give him a call.

- They don't do phones.

- Well, then, I'll go round there
later, and I'll let you know.

- Morag? Are you OK?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- I tried to stop him.

- There was nothing you could do, sir.

- Look, I've been thinking, what about
I help you put a new bench together?

We could get some scrap wood, do a
different design,

knock it up in no time.

- No, sir, it wouldn't be fair. It
wouldn't be my work.

- What happened this morning wasn't
fair.

- I can't, sir. Thanks for the offer,
but I just can't.

- No offence, Connor, but she said
she'd mark it

and then give it us straight back.

- It would be good to know at least
what we've got going into the exam.

- Morning, everyone.
- Morning, Miss Mulgrew.

- Take your seats, please, while I do
registration.

- I vote you ask her, Imogen.

- I could ask her really nicely.

I don't want to stress her out any
more than you do.

If I don't do it, one of this lot
will.
- Quiet!

- They're already slagging her off.

- Ash.
- Here.
- Dolby.
- Here.

- Hanford.
- Here.

- B-Tec Travel and Tourism. It offers
training, work experience...

- Yeah, but that's dull. I'm talking
sailors and sunshine.

- You'll be cleaning toilets.

Get some qualifications behind you.
Just look at it.

- She's right, you're too clever to be
a cleaner.

- Look, I know it's not the best job
in the world, but there'll be

no parents, no curfews and I get to
travel all over.

- BELL RINGS

- It's a big wide world, Libby.

- Not now.

- Miss?

We were just wondering if...?
- We?

- Yeah. Some of the girls were asking
if you'd marked our coursework yet.

- Miss, can we come in?

- Yes, in you come, Lula.

- Morag. Sit here.

Did you watch EastEnders last night?
Harley got me into it.

- No, I don't watch it.

- Then what do you watch?

- Erm, I don't really watch telly.

- You don't watch TV?

Why not?

- I'm a bit of a geek, I prefer
reading.

- I mean, you must watch something.

- Yeah, I watch some things.

- What?
- The news.

- LAUGHTER

- Sorry, miss.

- All right, let's make a start.

- I don't want to put her under any
pressure,

but if we don't do something it's just
going to build up.

- She'll just have left it at home.
Don't worry, I'll sort it.

- She's dead lucky to have you, do you
know that?

- So the object of a film review is to
do what?

Morag?

- Inform, describe, analyse and
advise.

- Go, geek girl!

- It's OK, miss, Morag calls herself
that.

- Yeah, well, I don't want to hear it.

Morag, what was the genre of the last
film you watched?

- Erm...

I can't remember, miss.

- Miss, she doesn't watch TV, so she
probably doesn't watch films.

- All right, Lula, liking the sound of
your own voice this morning?

LAUGHTER

OK, well, just name any film that
you've watched in the last month.

No?

Well, you must have watched the
Twilight films?

- Miss, I know this.

It's called the well-fit genre -
Kristen Stewart, oh yes.

- All right, all right, calm down.

- Yep, that sounds like Kevin Skelton,
four schools in three years.

We're still waiting on his records,
but I've agreed to take him because

he's bright, potentially really
bright, but doesn't like to show it.

Also lazy, awkward,

difficult to manage - all the things
that we like.

Oh...

..that's the number for social
services.

- Why does he want the number for
social services?

It's nothing to do with Janeece, is
it?
- No, no, Janeece is happily

sunning herself in Ibiza.

I keep getting postcards from her.

Daniel's considering fostering.

- Oh, good for him.

So, um, how's your father?

- I'm actually seeing him tonight.

- Really? Mm-hmm. Good.

You should take him some soup. He
likes minestrone.

- See, you already know him better
than I do.
- I wouldn't say that.

- Yeah, just get the photographer to
meet me here. All right, bye.

I need a coffee.

- Everything going well?

- BELL RINGS

- Yeah, thanks for asking.

Sian, you still all right to be on the
judging panel?
- Of course.

- Good. Michael, I'm sure you won't be
able to resist saying a few words?

- Oh, I shall mock the time with
fairest show.

- What does that mean?

- Don't worry, he'll be there.

- Good.

- Now, let's write that in index form.

Powers - two squared times three
cubed?

- Sir, what's the point of prime
numbers? They're totally useless.

- Hey, a-ha. Now. They're not,
actually, that's where you're wrong.

They're used in cryptography.

- Cryp-what?
- Making information secure.

You know, like when you do your
shopping online or

use your mobile phone.

- So Morag won't need it then?

- LAUGHTER

- Hey! Hey!
- It's not her fault she's doesn't own
a mobile phone.

It's not fair, it is, sir?

- I don't know so much, sometimes I
wish I never had one.

Our lives are ruled by them nowadays,
aren't they?

- I'm just saying she can't text
anyone, network, I mean.

- Hey, come on, get on with your work,
please.

- Morag, you OK?

- LAUGHTER

- Morag, I'm sorry.
- Hey!

- I was just...

Hey...

..has something upset you?

- Someone.

- Yeah, well...

don't let them know they've got to
you, all right?

It's always worked for me.

I should know, I've been in more
schools than a dolphin.

- It's not a pupil, I mean, not
really. It's my dad.

- Yeah, well, adults always make the
best bullies.

- Now she's basically bribing the
kids.

I mean, this school, everything,

it's just becoming like one big
millionaire's plaything.

Bit lost are we?

- No, sir. This girl here's a bit
upset.

- Morag, what's the problem?

- We'll handle this, you get off to
your next class.

Kevin.

- It's nothing really, sir, I just got
a bit upset in class.

I'm fine now.

- Is this about your bench?

- Morag...we can't help you if you
don't talk to us.

- Would you just go and take a seat
over there for a minute?

I knew this would happen. It's
obviously a delayed reaction.

- What do we know about the mother?
- Well, she left them a couple of

years ago. She works abroad a lot.

Look, somebody needs to sort this
bloke out.

- Look, I said I'd go, you're liable
to flatten him.

He just needs to know how miserable
he's making his daughter.

- Come on. Let's see if we can't sort
this out, eh?

If you want I'll have a word with the
rest of them.

- No, sir. Please...

..they didn't mean to hurt me.

- Well, if they're your friends then
they'll understand. Talk to them.

- I can't talk to anyone.

I don't have anything in common with
anyone,

and the one thing that I was good
at...

..got wrecked.

Sir...

..I know it's probably too late,

but I was wondering about what you
said earlier, about the bench.

- I don't think we've got time now.

- I'm sick of it, the mickey-taking,
all of it.

I just want to show them that there's
something I can do.

Please, sir.

- Congratulations.

- I got an A minus.
- Me too.

- They were just on my mum's desk.

- A star, you swot.

This is the best mark I've had all
year. I only spent an hour on it.

- What's the matter?

- Nothing. I'm pleased.

- We need some help in the hall. Two
of you, please.

Imogen, Liberty?

Oh, what's this? What's this?

- We all got As for English.

- Oh.

Well, you'd need to write a wee bit
more than that to get

an A in History.

- Morag's having some friendship
problems.

I think she lacks the cultural
references of the other children.

She's having difficulty fitting in.

- I didn't raise my children to fit
in.

She'll cope.

- She's growing up, Mr Murray, getting
some ideas of her own.

- Yeah, she's a freegan.

She's opposed to a society controlled
by materialism.

And she won't be swapping that for the
latest mobile phone.

Oh, and keep that Donnegan woman away
from my daughter.

- Well, I'm the headteacher, not Miss
Donnegan.

- She who pays the piper calls the
tunes, eh?

- Look, it's really not some big
capitalist conspiracy, I promise you.

Why don't you come down to the school
and see what we're about?

OK, as long as your kids know that
your principles aren't more important
than they are.

- DOOR CREAKS

- Right, that's the last of them.

- Amazing.
- What do we do now?

- We turn those into this.

- KNOCK ON DOOR

- Sorry to interrupt.

I thought you should know you've
created quite a stir

giving all your Years 12s an A grade.

The thing is, there seemed to be quite
a discrepancy

in quality between the scripts. You
may want to think about that.

- What are you talking about?
- Your coursework.

I don't know what the English
department's moderating procedures
are...

- Eh, eh, em, ah...

What has this got to do with you?

- I'm forewarning you. In my last
school...

- Forewarning or passing judgement?

- No, no, not at all.

- You know, here is my advice, Audrey
- keep that out of my business.

- I absolutely did not intend to make

a judgement on your professional
capabilities.
- Good.

- In all my years of teaching I have
never been...

You are a very ill-mannered woman.

Looks great.

Really original.

- My mum says there's no such thing as
an original idea.

- Do you see much of her?

- Not really.

She sends us stuff, like clothes and
food, but she's busy.

Dad says she steals money off people.
She's a lawyer.

- Right, let's get this down to the
hall.

Anyone asks, it's all your own work,
OK?
- Sir...

do you mind me asking... but why have
you helped me?

I mean, won't you get in trouble if
they find out?

- Nah, don't worry about that.

My son, Josh, he's always having a go
at me

for not doing what feels right.

You've got a chance. That's what
counts.

- # It don't get much bigger than this

# It don't get much bigger than this

# It don't get much bigger than... #

This is great, Madi, well done.
- It's only one piece of coursework.

- Don't put yourself down.

I think this proves you've got what it
takes.

You're not still thinking about the
job on a cruise ship, are you?

- Kind of, yeah.

- A good English grade would open so
many doors for you.

Maybe you should reconsider?

- Hmm.

- Wicked bench, Mo.
- Thanks.

- Kept this quiet.

- I thought Morag's bench got smashed
up?

- Afternoon, everyone. It is amazing
to see so many fabulous entries.

Well done.

OK, let the judging begin.

- She accused me of cheating, of
giving children grades they didn't
deserve.

- Well, that doesn't sound like
Audrey.

- Well, you didn't see her.

And she's been discussing it with the
whole class. Totally unprofessional.

- Those papers should have been marked
weeks ago and none of this would

have happened.
- The exam board's sending out new
marking guidelines,

you know what they're like.
- OK, I'll have a word with her,

leave it with me.
- She is bullying me. I want to lodge
a complaint.

- That won't be necessary, Christine.

An official complaint?

- I will not have my professional
integrity impugned.

- OK, but I'll have to talk to her
before any formal procedures begin.

- Thank you.

- Scout says your mum works here. How
awkward is that?

- Yeah, a bit.

So what about yours? How come you move
around so much?

- Dad's an engineer, so we go where
his work is.

Hey, it's a pity your mum's not one of
the judges.

All right, mate.

- You'll be fine. It looks amazing.

- It's not the bench I'm worried
about.
- Your mum?

Sorry. She'll be fine.

- If it was good news she would have
found me by now.

- Connor, tell us about your bench.

- Right, OK, well, I spent six weeks
on it, wasn't easy,

and I was trying to go for a steampunk
kind of thing.

- Hey, feeling better?

- I can hardly breathe, I'm so
nervous.

- Hey, like I said, don't show it.

Act bored, they'll think you're super
cool.

- Thanks, I think.

- Hey, works for me.

- Hey, Morag. This looks rustic.

- Well, Morag's passionate about the
environment, aren't you?

- Yeah, it's a really simple design
and, erm...

..and...sorry.

- It's OK, just relax, it looks really
good.

- We've got a really high standard
here.

I'm so impressed.

Connor Mulgrew's - wow! That boy has
vision.

He's talented, he's innovative and
artistic.

- Don't know where he gets that from.
- Tom?

- Well, I thought Morag's was good,
she's very creative.

- Really? I thought it looked like the
first time she'd ever seen the thing.

- All right, everyone, I know it's
taken a bit of time

but we've reached our decision.
- Mr Murray?

- The three finalists are...

Connor Mulgrew.

Harley Taylor.

And Morag Murray.

- Did you put her up to this?

- No, absolutely not. I've no idea how
this happened.

I suppose she's just as determined as
you are to do what

she believes in.

- You don't need to come. I just want
to tell her I'm in the final.

- Have they announced the winner yet?
- You're drinking again?

- I've had one.

I needed something to steady my nerves
after the mess you've dropped

me in. You and your little girlfriend.
I know it was you.

- I was trying to help.

- Help? You could have cost me my job.

- You said you wouldn't drink again.

You promised.

The doctor said if you took another
drink you'd die.

- Yeah, well, they got it wrong.

Blood tests are clear. There's nothing
wrong with me.

- It says that you're improving, not
that you're cured.

Mum, you can't hit the drink again...

- Don't be so dramatic.

Leave it!

- I've got to go.

You should have heard the woman. She
was thoroughly vicious.

- So you're saying she just gave
everyone an A grade?

- Yes.
- Why would she do that?

- Audrey, could I have a word?

- We're just about to...

- Now. Please?

- OK, everyone, let's make a start.
Morag, you're up first.

- Just take your time, Morag.

Talk us through your original idea for
the bench.

- Come on.

- It's good of you to come, to support
your daughter.

- You all right?
- Bit scared.

- Byrne persuaded me to come and have
a look.

Doesn't mean I've changed my mind.

- I wanted to make something
sustainable.

Something that doesn't affect the
environment.

- OK. What's your design's number one
selling point?

- We have so much rubbish that we
could literally live off for years.

Benches like this don't cost anything
to make.

All I did was bring the wood back to
life as a reusable product.

- Thanks, Morag.

OK, Connor.

Has anyone seen him?

Connor?

Oh, there you are. Thought we'd lost
you.

OK, tell us, what was the thinking
behind your design?

- I just wanted to make a bench. No
big deal.

- And what inspired you?
- What?

- What inspired you? Why did you enter
the competition?

- £5,000.

- Surely it was more than that? Come
on, you're creative, aren't you?

- Nah, not really.

It's just a bench.

Somewhere to plonk your arse.

- LAUGHTER

That's enough, Connor.

- Harley, tell us about yours.

- Cheating and bullying? I did nothing
of the kind.

All I said was that giving everyone
the same grades might raise

a few eyebrows, that maybe she should
re-mark them.

- She didn't mark them in the first
place, that was a pupil's idea

of a joke.
- There you go. I don't see what the
problem is.

- The problem is that you claimed that
Christine has marked them.

The inference being she was trying to
gain

an unfair advantage for her students.

Now obviously I have to investigate
that further.

Leave it with me.
- Thank you.

- Connor, wait, what's wrong?

You've probably just lost your chances
of winning.

- I don't care about winning.

- What happened?
- Nothing happened,

they're just asking really stupid
questions, like you are now.

- It's your mum, isn't it?

- Yeah, and thanks to you she's
drinking again.
- That's not fair.

- No?
- Is it her results? What do the
doctors say?

- She thinks there's nothing wrong
with her.

- I don't understand.

- No, you don't.

- Right, ladies and gentlemen, boys
and girls, we have our winner.

Mr Byrne, everyone.

- Thank you.

First of all, I'd just like to
congratulate

all of you on your designs.

I think it just goes to show what can
be achieved when you

properly apply yourselves to a task
and, like Miss Donnegan,

I look forward to a similar level of
commitment with your exam courses.

OK, now...

the three finalists' benches will be
on display in

the foyer, so all that remains is to
reveal who the winning designer is.

- Thank you.

So moment of truth. This was quite a
hard decision.

This person has won for the simplicity
and practicality

of design. I'm pleased to announce
that the winner is...

Morag Murray.

Come on, let's hear you.

Morag, come and get your prize.

- Well done, Morag.

- And a little extra on top of the
university fees - £1,000 cash.

Well done.
- Lorraine?

- Spending money while she's at
university. Dave..?

- Mr Murray, I'm so sorry. I didn't
know about the money.

- I don't believe a word you say.
- I understand. Could we not do this

here, not in front of everyone,
please?

- She's not getting away with it.

- I understand. I agree. Can we talk
about this in my office? Please?

- What do you want?

- Sorry, Mrs Mulgrew, I'm looking for
Connor.
- He's not here.

- I knew you'd blame Connor for the
coursework. It was all my fault.

- Well, I know that. Most of his daft
ideas he gets from you.

- He's really upset. What happened?

- I am not discussing my family with
you.

- I've never seen him like that
before.

He lost out on the bench competition
because of it.

You know, if you stop using him and
lying to him...

- Don't you dare accuse me of lying!

You know, the best thing you could do
is to leave us alone.

- One day he'll leave. He'll get up
and he won't come back.

I know what he's like, Mrs Mulgrew.
You think I don't, but I do.

- Go away.

- Christine. Christine, sorry, could I
have a word?

- Really, I'm not in the mood.

- Michael's told me that you've made a
complaint, saying that

I accused you of cheating.

Bullied you?

- That's exactly what you did.

- I'm at a loss here, I merely pointed
out...

- That my grades were wrong. That I
was responsible.

Tell me, Audrey, what other
conclusions should I have drawn

if it wasn't that you thought I was
cheating?

- Well, if that's how my remarks were
interpreted...

- There is no other way to interpret
them.

The children got the same grades, so
you thought...no,

you were certain that I was a fraud.

Well, let me tell you, Audrey, you are
the fraud.

With your high-minded ideals and your
so-called professionalism.

You are nothing more than a malicious
little gossip.

- I certainly never meant to cause you
any offence.

You've clearly got the wrong end of
the stick.

- Well, that's for Michael to decide.

It's with him now.

- Sian, you're a teacher, you would
say that.

- It doesn't mean you're not capable
of getting that mark.

- You couldn't believe it. I saw you
face.

- That's not true.

- Sian, it doesn't matter. I'm not
bothered.

I've made up my mind anyway.

- Can you just stop for a second?
Madi, stop.

- Look, ten A stars couldn't stop me
doing this.

I'm taking the job, there's nothing
you, nor anyone else,

can do to make me change my mind!

- Would you listen to yourself?! You
sound like a twelve-year-old.

I'm sorry, Madi, but it's true. It's
time you grew up.

- Well, how am I supposed to do that
if I'm sponging off you?

- Ah!

Kevin, come in, please.

Welcome to Maths, the key to the door
of all science.

- Uh-oh, who let one out for the day?
LAUGHTER

- Kevin has joined us

and I have a feeling he's a bit of a
maths whizz-kid.

You going to keep up on our toes, are
you?

- Are you some kind of brainiac or
summat?

- As if.

- Now your starter question, on the
board, say what - five minutes?

How about five seconds for you, eh,
Kev?

- I don't think we've done this, sir.

- You, er, finished already, have you?

- No, sir, this is way too hard.

RABBLE

- All right, all right.

I was just seeing if Kev here could
show us how it's done.

Obviously not.

- I dunno who told you I was a

whizz-kid, sir, but it might have

been the person who told you that
shirt and tie combo was a good idea.

- That's it, now that's enough,
please, thank you.

- Look, I do understand, but that
money is strictly for university fees.

- As far as I'm concerned it's
bribery, pure and simple.

- You're a freegan, yeah? Doesn't that
mean you believe in freedom?

Freedom to choose? Take money if it's
offered?

- We believe in community, social
concerns, cooperation,

things you obviously know nothing
about.

KNOCK ON DOOR

- Yes?

- Sorry to interrupt.

- Morag, just the girl we want.

- We've...I've got a confession to
make.

I helped Morag with her bench.

- Yeah, so?

- So she cheated?

- Well, it was her design. I just
helped her build it.

Look, after what he did this morning I
just didn't want to

let her down. I'm sorry.
- Me too, miss.

- I hardly recognise you.

- This isn't Morag's fault.

- Right, listen, this problem's easily
solved.

I'll just announce Connor as the
winner and that'll be it.

And, to be honest, I thought you
showed great initiative

and guts, Morag, but rules are rules
and you broke them.

You should be proud of her - even
after what you did,

she didn't give up.

Tom, a word.

- I sent my kids to this school

because I thought I was getting them
the best possible education.

- Of course.

- But it turns out that you people are
more concerned with creating

the next generation of consumers and
capitalists.

- Well, look...

- I'm taking my children out of this
school.

- There's no need to make snap
decisions...

- Morag, go and get Ewan.

We have to have the courage of our
convictions.

- You're assuming...

Me and Ewan never had a choice.

I want things too, Dad. I want to live
a normal life.

- She's really vulnerable. I don't
know what to do.

- Tom, I understand you had to help
her.

Girl's got talent. It's just a shame
her dad holds her back.

- I know I shouldn't have done it.

I just felt sorry for her, that money
would have changed her life.

You couldn't just give her the cash
anyway, could you?

You saw what she was up against.

- Listen, next time you want to play

Good Samaritan don't do it on my time,
yeah?

I don't appreciate being made to look
like a fool.

- Tom? Tom, I'm looking for Connor,
any sign of him?

- Listen, something's happened.
There's white spirit all over

these benches. Somebody wants to start
a fire.

Keep people away. Michael needs to
know about this.

- It's just not the kind of school I
wanted for you.

- But I don't want to leave.

I love it here.
- Well said, Morag.

- Here she comes, Briber-in-Chief.

Making sure her greed poisons
everything.

- It might surprise you to know, Mr
Murray, that one of my

companies won Ethical Business of the
Year three years running.

Here you go, Morag, call it
compensation, you deserve it.

- Lorraine, that's not helping.

- I think she should decide that,
don't you?

- Thanks, miss, but I can't accept it.

- Michael, we've got a situation.

I think somebody's tried to set fire
to the benches in the foyer,

covered them in this.

- Thanks, Tom. This will have to wait.

- Just keep moving along, please.

- Anybody got a match?
- On your way, you.

- Hi.

I'm sorry about earlier. It wasn't
your fault.

- I'm on your side, you know. Don't
treat me like a punchbag.

- The coursework was a big mistake.

I promise I'll never take it out on
you again.

- Everybody keep moving, please.
Where's Christine?

- Right, we need to get to the bottom
of this. Round this lot up.

- The bell's gone!
- I don't care. Lecture hall, now.

- Who wants some money?

CHEERING

- Mr Murray!

Mr Murray, get down from there or I'm
calling the police.

- Dad, what are you doing?

- Redistribution of wealth, Morag.

- Lorraine, this is your enterprise
ethos in action - successful?

Get these kids out of here!

- Right, everybody, lecture hall now!
Come on. Get up!

- I would never sent you here

if I knew that this school promoted
this kind of greed.

- You sent her to this school because
it was free. Because I'm paying.

- Yeah, yeah, I've had just about...
- Dad, please!

- Whoa, whoa, that's enough, thank
you, Mr Murray.

- I thought you were a man of
principles.

It turns out you're a sell-out just
like the rest of them.

- Stop it!

You happy now?!

You proved your point!

- Listen to your daughter, Mr Murray.

- I'm so sorry, miss.
- No, I'm sorry, Morag.

- My office is free.

- Hi.

- I'm sorry about my attitude earlier.

I do really appreciate everything
you've done for me.

- It me that should be apologising.
It's your life and I shouldn't judge.

- No, you were right. I need to grow
up.

It just feels like the right thing to
do.

- Don't tell Mr Byrne I said this but
academic success...

it's not the be all and end all.

- You think I should go for it?

- Well, seeing the world, experiencing
different cultures...

- Getting paid for the privilege.

- Meeting interesting people.

- Meeting fit blokes on ships.

- I meant you could learn a language.

- All right, meeting fit French
blokes, meeting fit Spanish blokes.

- Come on, let's go let Mr Byrne know.

- Oh, my god. This is weird.

So that was my last day?

It's OK, I'll come visit.

- You'll be on a boat.
- Actually, it's a ship.

- I'm going to miss you, come here.

- Quiet!

Lorraine, anything you want to say?

Right, that carry-on in the foyer just
now was a disgrace.

All money will be handed back to Mr
Budgen.

Someone tried to set fire to those
benches.

Police have been called, and I expect
each

and every one of you to cooperate
fully with their investigations.

Playing with fire is no laughing
matter!

People can get hurt...

or even killed.

The person who is responsible for this
will be caught.

- Right, let's go home.
- Come on.

- Thanks for your support in there.

- I don't think your blanket threats
were very helpful.

- It needed to be said, Lorraine.
- Not like that!

- A critical situation and I dealt
with it.

Unlike you, this is not a hobby for
me.

- That is out of order.

- Anyone fancy a bonfire? Got plenty
of wood for it.

- Something about this situation
strike you as funny, Mr Skelton?

- Haven't you heard of the healing
power of laughter?

- Don't worry about Kevin, Mr Byrne,
he's very clever.

It's a shame his parents didn't teach
him any manners.

- Hi.

- What's going on?

- I asked Mr Clarkson to contact Mum.

- I don't believe it.

She has no right being here, I've got
custody, yeah?

The hell are you people playing at?

- Hang on, she's not here.

She couldn't get away from work.
She'll call you later, OK?

- Typical.

Utterly selfish. Me, me, me, me, all
the time.

Morag, Morag, you see what she's like?

But I'll tell you what, if you want to
go live with her,

that's fine.

I'm sure she'll buy you these mobile
phones you so desperately need.

- Mr Murray.
- This is absolutely none of your
business.

- I know that. Just listen to what
Morag has to say, please?

- I didn't ask Mr Clarkson to get Mum
to come

so that I'll live with her. I just
want to be able to talk to her.

I just want you two to be able to talk
to each other,

to show that I'm not against anyone.

I love my family, you and Mum.

I don't want to move away.

- Well, I thought...

..I thought you'd had your head turned
by your mother's money.

- Mum's made choices that hurt, but so
have you.

How come you get to pick and choose
and I don't?!

- I'm going to leave you to it, OK?

But it seems to me like there's a
compromise to be had here

without chucking your principles out
of the window.

- Hey.

Hey, you.

After your mother left...

..I looked after you and your

brother, yeah? I did my best to make
sure you were both OK.

- I know that.

- You and Ewan come first.

Always.

And you're right, the way I live my
life and the way your mother

lives hers...

..it doesn't have to be how you live
yours.

Compromise, hmm?

Like old Clarkson said.

Come here, you.

- I'm going to go for it.

- Well, it looks like you both made up
your minds.

We wish you lots of luck, Madi.

- Thank you, sir, for everything, it's
been great.

- Can you give us a minute?

- Of course.

- Your mother sent this for you.

Go on, give her a call.

- Thanks, Dad.

- It's good to see a father connecting
with his offspring.

- Well, that's subtle.

- Here.

- What's this?

- Some research. Try and buy you and
your father more time.

So chocolate stop on the way home?

- No, I'm going to pay for dinner
tonight, to say thank you.

- You're treating me? Sounds good.

- Course you're going to have to sub
me the money just until I get paid.

- Connor!

- Maybe you should talk to her.
- I don't want to.

- Connor, I need to speak to you.

- You go, I'll catch up.

- You won the competition, The Murray
girl, she cheated.

- I know. Imogen told me.

- Of course she did. Come to my
classroom.

- I'm going back to Imogen's.

- Five minutes, that's all I'm asking.

That one is walking around telling me

and everyone how she gets you and I
don't.

- That's because she does, and I get
her, so you better get used to it.

- You haven't even known her a term.

- Mum, stop!

This thing you've got about Imogen,

it's getting really, really boring.

- # Don't know the truth, but we can
lie

# Lie

# Lie

# Lie here together

# Lie

# Lie

# Lie

# Lie here together

# Good things come to those who don't
wait for the right time

# For the right place

# Good things come to those who don't
wait for the right time... #

I just think we should slow things
down a bit, all right?

Try to communicate a bit better.

- I saw what happened today, Michael,
lesson learned.

But neither you or I would be here
today

if I quit at the first sign of
trouble.

- ENGINE ROARS

# Don't know the truth, but we can lie

# Lie

# Lie here together

MAN COUGHS

- Just a minute.

- Me, Dad, take your time.

- Sorry, son.

- MAN COUGHS

- Need your oxygen?
- No, I'm OK.

I'm OK. Put the kettle on.

- I'll get a key cut.

- How's things going at school?

- Aye, well.

Sian said you liked minestrone.

What?

You don't like it?

- I didn't have the heart to tell her,
hate the stuff,

I'm a pea-and-ham man. Oh, don't you
tell her, though.

Don't want to hurt her feelings.

- No, I won't say a word. I think her
visits are good medicine for you.

Right, cup of tea coming up.

You OK?
- Yeah, I'm good.

That tea going to be long?

- Daniel Chalk.

- If you just take a seat over there.

- Kevin?

So what are you doing here?

- I'm here to see my social worker.

- Social worker, why?

- I'm in foster care.

- I thought you lived with your mum
and dad?

- No. I was raised by three bears in
the wood.

- So that stuff about your dad being
an engineer...?

- At school, I don't like to talk
about it.

- Well, don't worry, I won't say
anything.

- So why are you here?

- Well...I've, I've got a meeting with
a...

..a meeting about being a foster
carer. If they'll have me.

Ah, Soduko, I love them,

- Sudoku.

Yeah, it was on the table.

- Hoo, blimey.

I'd struggle with some of these.

Look, I don't understand, why... why
do you hide your ability?

- I don't.

- That problem in class, you knew how
to do it, didn't you?

- Being smart singles you out.

I'd rather just go under the radar,
there's enough about me

that's different already.
- Yeah, but Kevin...

- Can we just drop it?

- Sorry, I didn't mean to, um...

- Mr Chalk?

- I'll see you at school.

- Here, I'll get that. I'm not in the
knacker's yard yet.

- You sit where you are.

- Sorry, son, I tire easy.

- Can I get you anything?
- No.

- Dad, Sian found me some research.

Look. These are trials for new drug
treat...

- Tell her thanks but not for me.

- They're worth a look.
- Michael, I've had a decent innings.
- Dad.

- No, it's all right, son. I've lived
probably longer than I deserve.

- We've been through that.

- Look, I'm not one for rubbish talk
but it's not for me.

I'm going to die.

Do you want to know something?

I'm proud of you.

I never stopped being proud of you.

But I don't want you upset on my
account. I don't deserve it.

- But some, some of these new
treatments can make a difference...

- Look, I've read all about them. No.
It's not for me.

You coming back, that's my difference.

I just wish we'd done it sooner.

I've got something to ask you.

A favour.
- Anything, just say it.

- Doc says I've got three months,
maybe four.

I don't want that.

I want to go when I choose, here...

with my family beside me,

You do that for me, son?

Will you help me die?

- She's a bully.

I don't see how talking is going to
change that.

- Why don't you back off and leave my
mum alone?
- I beg your pardon.

- It's big enough for an elephant.

- Just give me that and get out.

- The way you look makes you unhappy,
doesn't it?

- She has no place in a school like
this.

- You know, she's got a point, you're
not right in the head.

- Oh, grow up, Connor.

- If you tell anyone, I'll kill you.

- I won't, I promise.

Doesn't it hurt?
