- Oi!

Steve-O. Barry Barry says we have some
business to take care of.

- I'd like to be a donor for Grantly.

- What you're doing, it's amazing.

- I don't know if I am doing it. I
don't know if I've got the bottle.

- Are you going to kiss me or what?

- You stay away from my girl.

- Audrey, will you marry me?

- Yes! Yes!

- We are here today to witness

and celebrate the marriage of Connor
Mulgrew and Imogen Stewart.

- That Steve-O is bad news.

- Sorry.

Couldn't help it.

- What?

- It's nothing.

- You better tell me.

- It's nothing.

Get off.

It's just that I can't believe you're
here.

- Me neither.

Soz, need the loo.

- Hiya, babes!

- What are you doing here? Get out!

- All right, calm down.

- I mean it, Steve-O. Kevin!

- Tell mum I'm going.

- Don't you want to wish her luck?

Is he all right? He seems even more
distant than usual.

- Yeah, he's fine. He just doesn't do
mornings and that, he gets from me.

- Here.
- Oh, stick it there.

- You look great.

- Head of year material?

- Oh, absolutely.

No, I think this promotion will do you
no end of good.

Get your career right back on track.

- There is the small matter of three
other candidates.

- Yes, but they don't have the
reference that I gave you.

- Anyone would think you were
desperate to get rid of me, Michael.

- Oh, come on, you don't actually
think that, do you?

I just want you to be challenged.

- Anywhere but Waterloo Road?

- Go on, admit it. You don't want me
standing over your shoulder

scrutinising you every minute of the
day, do you?

- You're right, as usual.

This is a great opportunity.
- Mm-hmm.

- Tell me, what did that reference say
again?

- It said that you were perfect.

- Hiya.

- Here you go. Two sugars.

- So, how did you get in?

- Dead easy.

You might want to review your security
arrangements.

I could've been anyone.

So what's this little runt got that I
haven't?

- Steve-O, this isn't our flat. We
need to get to school.

- Have you got any bacon?

You've done well for yourself, pal.

Not many lads your age could pull a
bird like Dynasty.

- I don't know how you got in here,

but if you don't leave now I'm calling
the police.

- Kevin!
- Go on.

- Make me.

- Steve-O, please.

- All right.

I know when I'm not wanted.

I'll get that bacon butty some other
time, yeah?

I'll be around here quite a lot, dead
easy for me to pop in.

- Yeah, course.

- Be seeing you later, mate.

Don't be late for school. You'll end
up in detention.

- We're changing the locks. Today.

- Poisoning us again, Sir?

- Oi, watch it. All right, Lula. Just
passing through?

- Yes.

- Fancy a bacon butty?

- I'm a vegetarian.

- Maggie, how is he?

- Better now I've given him his
morning wash.

They don't know what a bed bath is in
that place.

- Any signs of improvements?

- I swear I saw something, a little
flicker,

when I told him what you were doing
for him.

Talking of which, any news?

- Er, no. Not yet, no.

Look, why don't you sit down, I'll
make you a cup of tea.

Dr Fairclough, good morning.

- Hello, there.

- Did you get the bus?

- No, I walked. It's only three miles.

- Well, I can't tell how thrilled we
are to have you here.

It's not often that schools attract
people with your academic background.

- Oh, I'm glad to be here. Uni
lecturing's lost its buzz.

- Well, I think we can promise you
plenty of that.

- Oh, and it's Esther. I don't use the
doctor much.

Esther to colleagues, Ms Fairclough to
students.

- I just think we should enjoy our
engagement in private for a while.

- You are worried about what people
will think, aren't you?

- Yes, I am a wee bit.

- Well, don't be.

When they see that we are happy
together,

these people will soon forget all of
their preconceptions.

- You're right, I know.

It's not just that.

I'm fighting to catch up with this new
timetable and...

- You need something to take your mind
off all of this pressure.

How about you, me and the Glasgow
Philharmonic tonight?

- Well, that would be wonderful.

- Yes? Look see! There! You can smile!

- I'll see you later.

- OK. Audrey?

Your bag.

- Thank you.

Honestly, I can't tell you.

Oh, the Philharmonic in full flow is a
wonder to behold.

Ndale'll never have seen anything like
it,

it'll be a real treat for him.

- Well, don't forget the customary
doner kebab after.

- Oh, Tom!

- Everyone, can I just introduce our
new Acting Head of Science,

Esther Fairclough.
- Hi.

- ALL: Hi.
- Good to be here.

- Esther's coming to us from higher
education.

I think she was a bit fed up with lazy
undergraduates,

so she'll be here with us, instilling
a little bit of academic rigour.

- I'm just here to do my best for the
school.

- Well, you might want to watch it,
cos some of this lot bite.

Only joking, I'm Sonya, Michael's PA.

- Nikki. If they do bite, just bite
them back.

- I'll bear that in mind.

- Morning.

- Esther, this is Lorraine Donnegan.

- Ah, very pleased to meet you.

- And you, Esther. You got a sec?

- I think Sonya can show you the
ropes, if that's all right?

Sonya? Would you mind?

- There he is, my mate Connor.

Oi, Mopey!

Not so fast.

The interest on that loan is going
through the roof.

If I don't get paid, something else is
going to get torched.

- Why didn't you just sell the truck?
You'd've got the money for it.

- Too much hassle.

Your house keys, please.

- No. I've already sold everything to
pay you.

- I'll check that myself. Your room
only. I promise.

Good boy.

- This cost-cutting plan should get us
through the next academic year.

The reality, I'm afraid,

is that Esther is a luxury that we
just can't afford.

Michael, we can't take on any more
permanent staff.

- We promised our parents a high
staff-to-pupil ratio.

- Look, read through it carefully and
we'll discuss it when I get back.

I've got a meeting that I have to be
at in London this afternoon.

- I'm sorry, but I think this is more
important.

I won't lose any more teachers,
Lorraine.

- Staff salaries are 90% of our
budget.

That has to change.

- So let's negotiate.

- Fine. Do whatever it takes, but that
number has to come down.

Oh, and what are the chances of
Christine being appointed today?

- Very good, I think.

- Excellent. That's one job we won't
have to replace.

- If you'd like to take a seat,
please. Thank you.
- Thanks.

- Hi, everyone. I'm Yvonne Hegarty,
the headteacher.

First of all, welcome to Havelock.

We'll get the tour of our excellent
facilities started

in just a second.

I'm sure you're very much looking
forward to that.

But before we do, could Mrs Mulgrew
make herself known to me please?

- Er, that's me.

- Oh, can I have a quick word? Through
here.

- Is there a problem?
- No, no.

There's a slight problem with your
application form.

You've ticked the box regarding a
criminal record.

- Yes.

It's not actually a criminal record as
such, but, yes, I did.

- Well, it is or it isn't. Either way,
I need to know.

- But I thought the disclosure came at
the end of the interview process.

- The disclosure is at the discretion
of the headteacher.

My school, my rules.

- Well, it was a domestic situation
involving my son.

I was fined for failing to reveal
information to the police.

- Withholding evidence?

- My son was under a lot of pressure
at school

and our home situation was...

- Thank you, Christine.

The governors and I will take it into
consideration, post interview.

Shall we?

- The reason I came to teach in a
school is simple.

This is where I get to fire your
imaginations.

- Miss, that's cruel. You shouldn't be
allowed to bring that into school.

- This animal died of natural causes.
It wasn't killed or experimented on.

- That's what they always say.

- Lula, I wouldn't have brought it in
if it had.

Scientists need to be able to study
the anatomy of animals

to understand them.

- Yeah, we can't help them if we don't
know what's wrong with them.

- Exactly.

And it actually brings us closer to
them

not that we're not already.

Everyone in this room shares an
ancestor with a fish.

- What was it, miss?

- It's a dolphin's brain, and like us,

it's an animal capable of great
empathy, even love.

I care about animals deeply.

- Still wearing cow on your feet,
miss.

- Actually, no. These are vegan boots.

100% synthetic materials.

- The poem is really fast-paced, which
tells us she's excited

about the idea of poisoning her
victims.

She's totally ruthless and dead
jealous.

And she calls herself a "minion"

which could mean that she's a
lady-in-waiting or a servant.

- Excellent, Imogen.

OK.

Connor.

You got anything else to add?

- What?

- Well, you've turned up, I suppose,
unlike some.

Dynasty, where's Kevin today?

- He was coming in, sir, but there was
a flood in the flat,

so he had to wait for the plumber.

- A plumber?
- Yes, sir.

- When he gets to school, you tell him
I want to see him, OK?

- BELL RINGS

- Quietly, please. We'll discuss the
themes of the poem next time.

- Great lesson, Miss.

- You worked well, Lula.

I was the same when I was at school,
always arguing with teachers.

- She's always banging on about the
animals. She's nuts about them.

- "Nuts?" Are you going to let him
away with that?

- Yeah, but she is Miss.

On the online forums speaking to
everyone until, like,

three in the morning, every night.

- That's a bit excessive, Lula.

If you want to study science, you need
your sleep.

- Miss, just because he doesn't care
about anything

except sport and computer games.

- Well, maybe you should educate him.

- That's what I want to do, Miss, but
not just for him.

I want to do it for everybody.

- Good.

Better get to your next class.

- Thank you, Miss.
- Bye.

- Well, that's what you get for doing
the dirty on him.

- I never did the dirty on him! He
went to prison, remember.

Will you help us? Get him to back off.

- Me?! What about Kevin?

- Barry... Steve-O will kill him.

He's scared of him. I am, too.

You're the only one that can help us.

- I'll talk to him, but you know what
he's like.

- Thanks, you're the best.
- Go on.

- All right, mate?

- 'Yeah, sound, mate, sound.'

Listen, are you going to be anywhere
near the school today?

- Yeah, I should be up there in a bit.

Why, what's the problem?

- I just wanted to see you about
something. No big deal.

- Yeah, no worries, mate.

Just got a bit of business with Connor
Mulgrew.

I'll be there shortly.

- It's you?
- Sssh!

- You're "Rainbow"?
- I told you.

- Told me what?

- There's more than a little bit of me
in you.

- There's your change, cheers. Five
quid that, love.

Thanks very much.

Everything in that box is a fiver,
babe.
- A fiver?

I wouldn't give you 25 pence for that
old thing.

- Put it back, then.

Say what you want, you let me know.

- You've cleared me out.

That's not mine.

You said you'd only take my stuff,
that belongs to Mr Byrne!

- So get him to pay your debt then.

Go on, get lost.

Do one.

Now.

All right, Barry?

- All right?

Taking a bit of a risk bringing your
knock-off gear down here, mate.

- It's not knock-off, it belongs to
him.

Plus I get a chance to see your
sister.

- Yeah.

Our Dyn says you scared the pants off
little Kev this morning.

- Damn right I did.

And I haven't finished with him yet.
Not by a long shot.

- Mate, you don't want to end up back
inside.

Our Dynasty will chuck him in a week
or two,

and then she'll come crawling back to
you.

- I don't mind doing time for your
sister, Barry.

I love her, simple as that.

So, what do you want lads?

- How much for these?

- It's a shame that you're not a
member of an animal rights group.

They can give you so much support.

But look, that's your decision.

Maybe you don't want to get involved
to that level.

- Yes, I do. I've always wanted to
join a group.

I even wanted to start a group here,

but I didn't think anyone would be
interested.

- That's because you haven't captured
their interest.

If I told you there was a
concentration camp

less than a mile from this school,
what would you say?

- A concentration camp?

- Yes.

Nox Pharmaceuticals.

A research facility where they torture
rabbits and mice

in pursuit of profit.

- Oh, that's horrible.

- It's happening every day, right on
our doorstep.

And for what?

So some multinational can keep its
shareholders happy?

- We can't let this happen.

- I wish it wasn't happening, but what
can we do?

- We can show people.

- People don't want to see the method,

they're only interested in the end
product.

Human interest always seems to take
precedence.

- But not if they know the truth.

- Well, raising awareness is no bad
thing, that's certainly true.

- Yeah, so let me show them, then.

- I don't know. I'm overstepping the
mark.

- People need to know what's going on
in that place.

- What are you suggesting?

- I don't know but I need to do
something.

- Watch it, man.

- Connor? Connor!

What's wrong?

- Nothing.

- It doesn't look like nothing.

Connor, I can see by your face there's
something is wrong.

Is it to do with your mother?

Let's go somewhere and talk.

- I owe money for a car. Well, a
pickup and...

It got trashed and I wasn't insured
and now I owe loads of money.

- Hang on, slow down.

You bought a pick-up?

- But the main thing is it was a
right-off and then...

I wasn't insured and now I owe loads
of money and I can't...

- How much do you owe?

- £2,000 to a bloke called Steve-O.

- £2,000?

- Something like that.

- Well, I think we need to have a word
with this Steve-O, don't you?

- He's outside.

- Come on.

PHONE RINGS

- Is Mr Byrne in?
- No.

- Actually, I needed to speak to you,
too.

- There ain't really nothing to talk
about, is there?

- I believe there is. Could we...?

- Listen, we had a little fling, but
that's it, yeah?

I mean, it was fun while it lasted,

but it was hardly going to be the love
affair of the century.

I mean, I had an itch, and you
scratched it, yeah?

- I wanted you to hear it from me
first.

- Hear what?

- When I first came here, it was you
who welcomed me.

You're beautiful and that's because
you have a kind heart.

And one day you're going to make
someone very happy.

But you see, I have found my happiness
with Audrey.

Which is why...

..I've asked her to marry me.

- Thanks for telling me.

Ndale.

I'm pleased for you.

- Thank you. That means a lot.

- Selling stuff that doesn't belong to
you is theft.

- I didn't know it was yours he gave
it to me.

- Sorry.

- How does he fit into all this?

- Steve-O.

The name's Steve-O. And I was helping
a mate.

Ain't that right, Connor?

- Well, it certainly seems that way.

Connor, can you go and get the rest of
our belongings

and take them to my office please?

What do you think the police

would make of your little arrangement
with Connor?

- I was just doing a bit of business.

- Right.

Well, you're going to be dealing with
me now, Steve-O,

and I'm a different prospect
altogether.

How much did you make out there?

- About 250. You had some pretty nice
stuff.

- So, 250 off two grand is 1,750,
yeah?

Connor's debt, paid in full.

I'm assuming you know how to write
your own name?

- I can't take that, I don't have a
bank.

- Well, get one.

Unless you want the police poking
their noses

into your business affairs.

There's a time limit on it.

You've got two seconds to take it or
leave it.

I don't want to see you anywhere near
this school again.

Do you understand me?

- No problem, boss.

- Kevin, you'll get me into bother.

You've not been feeding yourself in
that flat?

Tom! My fault. The poor lad hasn't had
anything to eat.

- I said it was a mistake, you moving
out, and this proves it.

You can't lie in bed all morning and
come in when you feel like it.

- I wasn't skiving, sir, I promise.

- Yeah, you had a flood.

- I had a problem and I had to sort
it.

- That's what we're here for.

- You can't help me.

I wish you could, sir, but you can't.

I'll catch up with the school work or
do detentions or whatever.

Thanks, Mrs B.

- Nice kid.

- Yeah, with more responsibilities
than most 17 year-olds.

You OK?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- Listen...
- Tom, I'm fine.

I'm busy, and when I'm busy, I'm not
thinking.

And that's a good thing.

- Hello.

OK, Mrs Mulgrew, we'll hear your
presentation first.

- Actually, I don't have one.

I mean, I don't need a computer or a
whiteboard. It's just me.

- Oh! A chalk and talk candidate. We
don't see many of those nowadays.

- No, no, I'm very capable of using
technology.

In fact, it's a vital part of my
lessons.

I just didn't want to hide behind any
gimmicks.

What you see is what you get.

I'd like to start by saying that
nothing a school does is more

important than delivering quality
teaching in every classroom.

As head of year, it would be my job to
secure that.

And I'm not talking about just good
teaching, I'm talking about

outstanding teaching, teaching that
inspires children.

And it all starts with a love of
language.

I see myself as a defender of the
faith.

English is under assault, from
incomplete sentences,

dropped participles,

and the omnipresent misuse of the word
"like".

- Yeah. They leave them in cages,
millions of them.

Cats, rabbits, even monkeys.

- Eurgh! That's sick.

- How is that allowed in this country?

- That's because animals don't have
rights in this country.

- Don't they test on them to find
cures for diseases and stuff?

- No. They test on them because it's
cheaper,

and that way they can make more money.

- Plenty of discussion going on over
there, I hope it's on task?

- Actually, Miss, we're talking about
animal rights,

and how some people think it's OK to
experiment on animals.

- Ah. Well, that's hardly relevant to
today's lesson now, is it?

- You know, there's a laboratory a
mile from here,

and that's where they...

- A topic for another time.

- So you don't care about tortured
animals?

- I do, as it happens,

but this has absolutely nothing to do
with our history class.

Now will you please get back to your
work?

- Miss!

- Yeah. Pretend it doesn't happen.
That's everyone's reaction.

Well, not any more.

I'm going to make sure everyone is
aware of what's going on in there.

- Lula!

- Describe a lesson that didn't go so
well for you.

Did you blame the class,

or did you look at your own planning
and delivery?

- Well, I always look at my own input
first

if a lesson doesn't go to plan.

But students have their own
responsibilities,

and I make that very clear to them.

- Oh, so it can be their fault, as
well?

- If my lessons are exciting and
interesting

and they choose to disrupt them, then,
yes.

The responsibility for that lies with
them.

- Hi.

- Sonya?

- I, er, thought you might be peckish.

- Thank you.

- So, you and Audrey?

- Yes. We're very happy.

- Bit of a shock.

You know, after everything.

- Life moves on, Sonya.

- For you and her maybe, yeah.

What about me?

I'm just left.

- Oh, no, please. Come here.

Please. Look at me, don't cry. OK?

Look at me. You will always be a
special friend to me.

- I don't want to be your friend!

- What are you doing?

- I have feelings for you, Ndale,

and I think you still have feelings
for me, too.

- I don't, Sonya.

I told you what happened between us is
over.

Finished.

I'm with Audrey now.

- But she's an old woman!

Why would you choose her over me?

- You leave now, please.

- Just tell me.

I have to know.

- I said leave. I don't want to talk
to you.

- Yeah, well, you're going to have to.

And you're going to have to see me
every day.

- His head's all over the place, what
with the flat,

his relationship with Dynasty.

I think things are getting a bit much
for him.

- Well, I trust your judgement, Tom,
and I think you're right,

he's better off in the school house
where we can keep an eye on him.

- Everything all right with Connor?

- He's got into something way over his
head.

And if I'm totally honest, I'm
completely out of my comfort zone.

- Listen, I've got seven teenagers to
deal with at the moment.

You've got one. I'm sure you'll
manage.

- BELL RINGS

Thanks, Tom.

Connor?

Did you bring up the rest of your
stuff?

- There was nothing left, really.

- Well, that's hardly surprising.

Now, look, I've made a decision,

and paid off the rest of that debt you
owe.

- Thanks. Thank you so much.

- Well, you'll have to pay me back,

but you won't be seeing anymore of
that Steve-O.

- You've no idea what this means.

Sorry.

I'll pay you back, I promise.

- There is one condition.

We have to talk to your mother about
it, all right?

I don't want any from secrets from
her.

We'll talk about it later.

- Mr Byrne, can I have a word, please?

- Yeah, of course.

- In private.

- Oh, hey!

- No more Steve-O!

It's over, Imogen. Michael paid him
off.

- No way!
- In full. Obviously I'm going to have
to pay him back,

and mum's going to find out, but it's
over.

- What happened?

- I just blurted it out, and I gave
him a hug. Mr Byrne. Believe that?

- Well, I'll have one as well.

- Seriously, no one has done anything
that nice for me before.

- You coming, Imogen?

- I said I'd have lunch with them.

- No, go. I'll catch you later.

- It's really over? I can't believe
it.

- ..and those shoes, as well.
- I like them, too.

- Yeah. Right then, well, I better get
off.

- See you later.
- See you later.

- These are the keys for the new
locks. Take them.

Take 'em!

- All right, calm down!

- What are we going to do if he's
still out there after school?

- I want a word with my sister, mate.

- I'll catch you up.

- Steve-O's not going to back off.

The only thing you can do is dump
Kevin and dump him quick.

- When everyone knows this is going on
just down the road,

there's going to be a riot.

- That won't be a bad thing.

- Here you go.

- I'm fine. Thanks.

- Just try to remain calm and tell me
exactly when the assault happened.

- Well, I wouldn't say it's an actual
assault.

- OK. What would you call it?

- Well, he just grabbed me and tried
to kiss me.

- Well, that's assault. It's a very
serious matter.

- Mr Byrne, I don't know...

What I'm saying is maybe I'm making it
sound worse than it is.

It was more of a bumping together type
thing.

- Sonya...

What exactly happened?

- Well. I was in the cupboard.

- Mm-hmm?

- And I turned round, and our faces
kind of touched.

I got a fright.

- But did Ndale sexually assault you?

- No!

I mean, I don't think so.

Listen, I'd like to withdraw my
complaint. I take it back, yeah?

- What compliant?

You haven't even told me what he's
supposed to have done!

- Best leave it then, yeah?

- Mind if I join you?

- Of course.

- How has it been going this morning?

- Oh, great. The kids are amazing.

- Do you know, I knew when I first saw
you, you were a natural.

The students have such warmth here,
don't they?

And when that's reciprocated, they
really respond.

- Hey. What did Barry want?

- Nothing.

- Was it about Steve-O?

- No, it was me mum. She's been
missing me and she wants me home.

- Are you going to go?

- I don't know. I might.

- Mr Clarkson's been on my case as
well.

I think he wants me to move back to
the school house.

Maybe I should until all this blows
over.

- What, are you scared, or something?

- Scared? Scared? No.

- That's what it sounds like,

running back to the house at the first
sign of trouble.

- I didn't say I was going.

- Look, Kevin, maybe we should...

You know, I'm used to more macho
blokes,

do you know what I mean?

- What did Barry say to you?

- I've just told you.

Look, Kevin, you're a wimp.

No offence, but it's the truth.

- What's going on, Dynasty?

Are you finishing with me?

- Yeah.

I am. Sorry.

I need a boyfriend that, you know, can
take care of himself

as well as me.

I'll clear me stuff tonight.

- Kevin?

- Come here, trouble.

- I'll see you later.

- Bye. See you.

- He's a lucky lad, that Connor.

How long've you two been together?

- What are you doing here?

- Did you take his name?

Congratulations by the way.

- Where did you get that?

- So he lives with his mum, and mum's
boyfriend, the headmaster,

so where do you live?

- It's none of your business.

- Hey! Don't get stroppy with me,
love.

I can get photocopies of this sent out
no problem.

- All right.

All right, I'm sorry.

I live with my mum.

Look, please don't say anything.

- She doesn't know you got married,
does she?

Don't worry, your secret is safe with
me.

Just tell Connor I need to speak with
him when he finishes school.

I'll be down at the lock up.

Smile!

Feisty.

- Hiya, Dyn.

What's wrong?

- I've finished with Kevin.

- Oh, Dyn. Why?

- I had no choice.

Steve-O was going to put him in
hospital.

- What have I told you about him? He's
a complete scumbag!

- Yeah, all right, Kace. I don't need
any lectures.

- I'm really sorry.

- You're not going to tell anyone, are
you?

- Course not.

What're you going to do now?

- I don't know.

I haven't got my head round it yet.

- You're not going back to him, are
you?
- As if.

- Cos he is the most disgusting lad
I've ever met in my entire life.

- There are worse lads than Steve-O,
you know.

- Was it that bad?

- I'll be all right. I'll see you
later.

She hates you, Connor.

If she finds out we're married,

she'd do everything she could to stop
us seeing each other.

- Can't we just move away?
- Where?

We've no money, we don't know anyone.

I'm scared, Connor.

- The guy is a total thug.

- Just see what he wants, please.

Otherwise our life won't be worth
living.

- BELL RINGS

Oh, Ndale.

- Hey, Mr Byrne?

- Listen, word to the wise, but maybe
give Sonya Donnegan a wide berth.

- Excuse me?

- Could be a bit complicated, but I
think she has a little crush on you.

Just be careful.

- OK. Thank you for informing me.

- It's just shock tactics. Get over
it.

- How d'you get over that? That's
sick, that's what it is.

- All right, the bell has gone.

- Excuse me! Away from the wall! Get
to class!

Move away, on you go.

Do we know who did this?

- Yes. My money's on Lula Tsibi.

- What is this Nox Pharmaceuticals
anyway?

- That's not far from here.

- Looks like we have a young animal
rights activist on our hands.

- Thanks for waiting, everyone. We'd
like to speak to Mrs Mulgrew.

MUSIC: "The Perfect Blues" by Jesse
Boykins III

# Never thought I'd be this way

# Holding on to yesterday

# How far we've gone

# Missing steps your lips would say

# The pressure stunned into decay

# I need your warmth. #

- So, what's so important?

- I've finished with Kevin.

- Seriously?

- It was like having a little dog
following me round all the time.

- What'd he say about that?

- Nothing.

Cried for a bit.

Look, I just want to say sorry for
blowing you out like that.

- Well, can't say I was too happy
about being dumped

for a little girl.

- Behave. I was only doing it to make
you jealous.

- Well, it worked.

So, does this mean we're back
together?

- I'm here, aren't I?

I was thinking that maybe we could
head back to Liverpool.

- You're keen to finish school,
though?

- After I'm done.

You should go first, sort out that
flat you were talking about.

- Sounds good.

- Maybe we could talk about it later?

- Let's talk about it now.

- I've got to get back to class.

- OK.

You could tell them you're sick.

We'll go and get your stuff, go find
somewhere nice

and we can talk about it all night.

- Yeah.

- All right. Come on, then. Jump in.

- School is no place to be airing your
political views in this manner.

All right? I admire your passion,

but this is not the way to get your
point across.

Reasoned argument.

Debate.

That's how we reach understanding on
contentious issues like this one.

- Vivisection is wrong.

- That's your opinion, Lula, and
you're entitled to it.

But not everyone will agree with you.

Now, you will each write a letter of
apology,

and if I see any more of these posters

anywhere on school premises, you'll
face exclusion.

- I got it!

- I'm not apologising.

- Lula, Mr Byrne put you in here not
because of what you believe

but because of what you did. That's
what the letter's about.

- It was just a few posters, sir.

- Shut up, will you, and just write
it.

You're all right. If I get excluded,
I've got nowhere to live.

- OK, I'll write it, but I'm not
apologising for my beliefs.

- For what it's worth, mate, I think
you're way better off without her.

She's a great-looking girl, don't get
me wrong,

but she's not exactly in your...

What I mean is, intellectually...

You and her are North and South, do
you know what I mean?

- You don't know what you're talking
about.

She's brighter than anyone I know.

- I'm not saying she's thick or
anything...
- Just shut up, Jack.

She saw through me quick enough.

- Jack.

Problem?

- No.

What d'you mean?

- Well, she didn't want to go out with
me, did she?

Why d'you think that is? Because I'm
too clever?

Because my jokes are too funny?

- I don't know why she dumped you...

- She dumped me because I'm spineless
coward and she didn't want that!
- Kevin!

- And d'you know what? I don't blame
her!

- When you've quite finished.

- Glad you see you took my advice on
the locks.

- I'll pack me stuff.

- Come here, you.

Let's have a little play.

- I thought you wanted to go
somewhere?

- No rush is there?

Got all the time we need.

- We should get going.

- I want to see what there is to
drink.

You put some music on.

- Ste...
- Just do it, will you?

Where's the glasses?

- Far cupboard.

- Where you going, babe?

- Nowhere. Just locking the door.

- I thought you'd be happy for me.

- I am, of course I am.

I'm happy for you, but I can't say
that I'm happy for the school.

- This morning you said I needed to
spread my wings, challenge myself.

- That was before today.

- Why? What happened today?

- Let's just say I've had my own
challenges.

- Isn't that just the way you like it?

- You know the financial restrictions
Lorraine's putting us under,

and what with Grantly's illness, I'm
already an experienced teacher down.

- Michael, I've accepted the post at
Havelock.

- Well then, I'd like to formally
offer you the Head of Year 12 post,
here.

- Where's this come from?

- I thought it was in your best
interests to leave. Really, I did.

I was wrong.

I know it's a mess, and I'm sorry, but
I need you here.

- Are you saying you want me here
because of us?

- Yes.

Of course that's what I'm saying.

Does that mean you'll take the job.

- Absolutely.

We'll make a fantastic team.

- I knew you'd come back to me.

What made you change your mind?

- I told you, I just got bored.

- Why have you been ignoring me all
this time?

Hiding from me?
- I haven't.

- I saw you this morning, avoiding me
at the school.

Sorry. Maybe I got it wrong.

- No, thanks.
- Here.

Anyway, none of that matters now we're
here, does it?

Come and sit down.

Cheers.

Just like old times, innit?

- Yeah.
- Drink up.

- RADIO PLAYS "One Way Ticket To
Loveland" by Leon Haywood

- I love this song. So sexy.

Come here.

- BELL RINGS

- Audrey, I need to talk to you.

- Yes, of course.

- I want us to announce our engagement
formally.

- Ndale, I'm just getting used to the
idea of us being a couple.

- In your heart, do you think it is
right that we are together?

- Yes, of course.
- Then what's stopping us?

Look, I love you, OK? I just want
everyone else to know that.

- OK, let's do it!

- Later, yes?
- Yes!

- OK, in the staff room?
- Yes.

- Brilliant. OK, see you later.

- Come on.

- Mr Clarkson, I saw what happened.

- Don't worry, we've nipped it in the
bud.

- I told you not to put those images
up, Lula.

I feel a bit responsible.

We had a discussion about it in class
this morning.

I'm all right with passion, Lula, but
doing what you did was wrong.

- Wahey! Well done!

I live near that Nox factory - I
didn't know they tortured animals.

- Yes, all right, thank you, off you
go!

- You see, everyone agrees with me!

- I've had enough of this. Let's go.

- Mr Clarkson, perhaps after they've
seen to Mr Byrne,

you can get him to send Lula to my
lab.

I'd like to show her the other side of
the argument.
- Great.

- Inside.

- Come on, let's go to the bedroom.

- Steve-O, I'm not in the mood.

- I'll get you in the mood.

What're you doing?

- Sorry. This was a mistake. I
shouldn't have come here.

- You invited me back.

- I know, but...

- But? There ain't no buts, you know
we're good together.

- Look, if I've led you on, I'm dead
sorry...

- I knew you were playing me.

Do I look like I was born yesterday?

How you going to make it up to me?

- Steve-O, I'm dead sorry.

- Stop saying sorry!

You're not sorry!

- I am. I mean it.

- Oh, babe.

Come here.

Come here, I'm sorry.

Listen, I'm sorry for shouting at you.

I'm sorry, I just get stressed out.

Come here.

Come on.

Come on.

- Right. Harley, Kacey, these are
good, you can go back to class.

- Lula's convinced she's nothing to
apologise for.

Fortunately, Ms Fairclough's going to
speak to her.

- Good.

As a scientist, perhaps she can
persuade you

to look at all the evidence before you
reach a conclusion.

Go and see her, please.

What a day.

- Well, some good news. Kevin Chalk's
moving back to the school house.

- Good. Excellent work, Tom.

I'll tell you first.

I'm going to appoint Christine as Head
of Year 12.

Opinions? Be honest.

- Well, she doesn't strike me as the
pastoral sort.

I take it she didn't get the Havelock
job?

- No, no, actually, she did, but
between you and I,

Lorraine is planning further staff
cuts.

Christine wouldn't have been replaced.

- She'll do a good job.

Give you more of a chance to see each
other.

- I'm not doing it for that, believe
me.

- Bye, babes.

- Come in, Lula.

Could you close the door, please?

I'm sorry if I seemed like I wasn't
supporting you, Lula.

I have to be a teacher first.

I can't get involved with things that
draw attention to me.

You're like my little secret weapon.
My eyes and my ears.

And we're going to need them.

Do you know who the biggest investor
in Nox Pharmaceuticals is?

The person most responsible for the
torture and the suffering

in that hell hole?

Lorraine Donnegan.

- APPLAUSE

- Thoroughly well-deserved.

- Thanks, Audrey. That means a lot.

- OK, that's it, folks...

- Actually, no. Michael, I have...

Well, we have an announcement to make.

I know when Ndale first arrived at
Waterloo Road,

there were a few raised eyebrows at
our close friendship.

Well, I'm delighted to announce we're
engaged to be married.

- Congratulations!

- Tell me I didn't hear that.

- Congratulations, Audrey.

Ndale, congratulations.

- Thank you, sir.

- Not for you then, eh? No?

The old saying, "marry in haste,
repent at leisure"?

- Well, I think that maxim applies to
a younger generation than mine.

- Tom, I've just heard from the
hospital.

They think that Grantly's coming
round.

- Maggie, that's brilliant!

Did you hear that, everyone? Grantly's
coming round.

- It's the best news ever!

- Ah, that's brilliant!

- That's terrific!

- You know what they say, good news
comes in threes.

- I think we need to talk about
Connor.

Could I have a minute?

- You see, I haven't met your little
wifey's mum,

but I don't think she'd like it, if
this dropped through the letterbox.

- But you got your money, so why are
you still hassling me?

- I still haven't forgiven you for
letting old Byrney boy

know about our little arrangement.

That was our secret, Connor.

- So what do you want from me now?

- I don't know yet. I need time to
think about it.

- And then you'll give me that back,
yeah?

- Yeah. No problem.

Go on, then. Off you pop.

- KNOCK AT DOOR

Yeah?

- Hey.

I'll give you a lift with your stuff,
if you like?

- No thanks, sir, I'll go by later.

- OK.

Well, I'm here if you need to talk.

Maggie?

How is he?

- Well, it seems it was just a
reflexive muscle thingy.

He isn't coming out of it.

- Oh, look, I'm sorry. Look, he's
going to be all right, you know.

He's still fighting.

- I wish I could believe that, Tom.

Truth is, I don't think he's going to
make it.

- Maggie, I've had some good news.

I found out earlier. They said I'd
make an ideal donor.

- I will never, ever be able to thank
you enough for this.

It'll be the first thing I tell
Grantly when he wakes up.

- Exactly. And we'll both be there to
see him,

so come on, chin up, let's be
positive, eh?

- You're right, you're absolutely
right.

I'm going to get the kids' tea
started.

Stop animal cruelty!

- We're to be a fee-paying school?

- There's no other way, Michael.

- I've never been a bridesmaid.

- I would be delighted and honoured.

- What are you doing? Are you trying
to destroy the wedding?

- He raped you?

- Don't say that word.

- We can deal with him ourselves

- What, like fight him?

- No.
- Well, what, then?

- I mean, take him out.

- Kevin's going to ask you to do
something for him.

He wants you to get hold of a gun.
