Kevin, you're a wimp.
- Are you finishing with me?
- Yeah, I am.

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

Lorraine Donnegan.

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

- I'm with Audrey now.
- But she's an old woman - why would
you choose her over me?

- If I've led you on I'm dead sorry...
- Stop saying sorry - you're not
sorry!

- I am - I mean it.

- Just got a bit of business with
Connor Mulgrew.

- Imogen!

Imogen!

Imogen!

Imogen!

Imogen! Imogen!

HE GASPS AND PANTS

CAR ENGINE REVS

- Get in.

Did you hear me?

- # Love'll get you like a case of
anthrax

# And that's something I don't want to
catch... #

- Got a little job for you later.

Shouldn't be too difficult to find a
way in.

- You want me to go burgling?
- Don't worry. It's just some old
biddy who lives here.

Worst she'll do if she catches you is
swing her handbag.

We'll work us way up from here to
something a bit more challenging.

- No. No way. I'm not...

- Thought you were a bright lad.

You don't you get it, do ya? You're
mine.

If I tell you to do something, you do
it.

- I'm not doing this. I'm not going
robbing for you.
- Why don't you think about this?

What's the one thing you care about
the most? Your precious wife?

I could break yous up in a heartbeat.

Trust me, I'm a man who gets what he
wants.

- Morning.
- Hi, sir.

- Why don't we take a seat over here?

That's for you.

- Oh, thank you, and thanks for
getting up at stupid o'clock to come
and help me.

- Ah, no, no, don't thank me. It's my
pleasure.

- I'm just scared I'll get nervous and
mess it up today.

- Well, that's exactly how I felt at
my university interview. It's normal.

Now...

despite everything I told you about
interview technique,

I think the real key to success here
is to just be yourself.

- I think I can do that.
- Good.

And, you know, a few nerves sometimes
can be a good thing.

So, I think we'll start with a few
mock questions, I think. Here you go.

Grab a pen.

- Stop animal cruelty! Blood on your
hands!

Stop animal cruelty!

Blood on your hands!

Stop animal cruelty! Blood on your
hands!

- How can you work here? Don't you
realise what you are doing?

- You're torturing animals.
- Yeah, it's sick.

- Where's your conscience?

- There's blood on your hands!

- Why don't you get off to school and
learn a few facts?

- Here's a fact. You work in a
concentration camp.

- Wrong. We're here to help save
lives.

Have you any idea how many diseases
we're trying to cure in there?

- Lies.

- One day you'll grow up.

- What's wrong?

- I know her. She's my next-door
neighbour.

- Jack? Don't tell me you're involved
with this lot?

- Er...sort of.

- What's wrong with you?

- Nothing.

- It's just that you've been acting
quite weird these last few days.

- I'm fine.

- Not had a fight with Steve-O?

- No.
- Good. Cos we need to keep him sweet.

You don't want to go upsetting him.

- And you don't want to go sticking
your nose in where it's not wanted.

- I'm just saying...
- Yeah, well, don't.

- All right, babes?

- Yeah.
- I've not seen you for ages.

Not playing hard to get, are ya?

- Just keeping you keen.
- It's working. So you coming round to
my place tonight?

- Maybe. I've got a lot of work to do.

- You can find time for me, though?

- We'll see.
- Come here.

Can we help you, pal?

- No.

- So what are you staring at us for?

- I wasn't.

- I think he's proper heart-broke.

- It's not my problem. See ya.

- She's mine now, you got it?

In every way.

- Good luck, Liberty.

You've got everything it takes for
this, believe me.

- Thank you, sir.

- Very best of luck.

What time were you out this morning?
You never switch off.

- Well, I have a finance meeting with
Lorraine.

As for Liberty, it goes with the
territory.

It's a privilege, never a chore.

- Morning. I'm not too early, am I?

- No, no. Shall we?

- See you later.
- So, I've asked Sonya to print out...

Morning.
- Spreadsheets.
- Thank you.
- Morning.
- Hiya.

- So where'd you like to start...?
Staffing?

- There's something I need to tell
you.
- That sounds ominous.

- I've decided to close the PRU.
- Haven't we been through all that
before?

- I know, but it's a question of tough
choices.

I really wish we could keep it, but
the truth is we just can't afford to.

- We've introduced the setting tests
in order to better establish

individual pupil needs - surely the
PRU complements that?

- Believe me, Michael, I wish there
were another way.

- There is. There has to be.

Lorraine, the PRU is central to what
we planned to achieve here.

- It costs too much. The training
courses, the one on one tutoring.

It eats up resources.

Unless we look at that, we could end
up with no school at all.

Our job is to find the most
hard-working

and intelligent kids we can and get
them into the school.

I want us to move forward together.

I've got a few ideas I'd love to
bounce off you.

- Of course, but perhaps not right
now.

After we've got through this lot,
there are setting exams to oversee

and a full school day to get through.

How about dinner - tonight?

- Sounds good.

KNOCK ON DOOR

- Yeah?

- The setting papers are ready - you
wanted to double check them?

- OK. Give me a sec?
- OK.

- So, if you could do that, Steven,
I'd really appreciate it.

OK? Thanks a lot, Steven.

Lula? How did it go?

- They ignored us. Told us to go back
to school.

They just won't listen!

- Are you surprised?

It's hard for them to admit that they
spill blood for a living.

- We need to target Lorraine Donnegan.

She's the one who's putting money into
the company!

- That would be going too far.

What you need to do is think of a way
to make them listen.

Get to class.

- Imogen. Or should I call you Mrs
Mulgrew? That's between us, though.

- What do you want?
- Do I not get a thank you,

for keeping it quiet about your secret
wedding?

- Thanks for not saying anything. When
can I get the certificate back?

- You can have it back later if you
want.

- OK.

- We should meet for a coffee or
something?

- I don't think so.

- I meant because I don't have it with
me.

But if you're being like that, like
you're too good to be seen with me,
maybe I'll just leave it.

- OK, I'll meet you. If it's just for
coffee.

- OK, cool. I'll pick you up here.
Lunchtime?

It's just a short drive to mine and
you'll have your precious piece of
paper.

- OK.

- What did he want?
- Don't get mad. I'm meeting him later
to get our marriage certificate back.

- You're going nowhere with him.
- For God's sake, calm down.

- We need to get out of here. Let's
leave. Today.
- Go where? We've been over this.

- What about your dad's?
- No way. You know we don't get on.

- It's our only option.
- Connor, you're not talking sense. We
can't just leave.

- Imogen, I'm begging you - please.
Let's get enough money together.

At least enough for our train fares.
Steve-O is dangerous, believe me.

- She's serious?
- I'm having dinner with her tonight
to discuss it.

- What's the point, if she's decided
to close it?
- The point is I'm going armed with
everything I need

to win the PRU argument.

I want you to put together a report,
outlining our attainment

and performance, on how well we've
done at Waterloo Road,

specifically with the PRU.

- Will it be enough to sway her? She
already knows what we've done.

- It's worth a try. I need the PRU at
the very centre of it.

It might help me combat whatever other
ideas

she tries to throw at me later on.

Get me comparison figures on truancy

and exclusions with other schools in
the area that don't have

referral units - so she can see how
well we're doing.

- Nikki would have all this info but
I'm guessing you don't want me to go
to her.

- Just keep it between us for now.

- Morning.

- Is it? I'm way behind with my year
13 marking.

I've got two exams to invigilate this
morning.

Because free periods don't happen any
more, I don't know when I'll manage to
catch up with it.

I don't want to whinge, but I was up
past midnight.

- Free time of any kind is a thing of
the past.

I've been up marking since half past
five this morning.

- I don't know how much longer we can
go on like this.

- Look, I'm well aware of the extra
work everyone's putting in.

And we're grateful for it.

- We're all having to go that little
bit further at the moment.

But it's the price to pay for the
school we want.

Can I have a word?

- They're grateful?

- Look, just to let you know, I had a
discussion with Michael this morning
and his back's up.

- What about?

- I'm closing the PRU.

- Your mind's made up on that, is it?

- Yeah.

- He was never going to be happy about
it.

- Nope. And he'll be even less happy
when I tell him

that I've decided to start charging
fees.

- How? I mean, Most of our kids won't
be able to afford that, will they?

- I want to change that. Most of the
kids taking the setting exams today
could.

- Haven't you told him?
- I'm going to talk him into it over
dinner tonight.

He'll have to see it's the most
sensible way to save the school.
- All right.

- Nikki. Look, Tom and I will be taken
up with the setting tests for most of
the day.

Any problems, staff report to you.
- No problem.

Oh, Christine?

I haven't had your head of year report
for last week yet.

- Don't you check your e-mails first
thing?

- I haven't had time this morning.

- Well, I realise you're a very busy
woman but I sent them over last night.

Any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

- Mum?

- You OK, Connor?

- Bit worried about Imogen.

She's a bit down after everything
that's gone on.

I'd like to take her to the cinema.

- I hope you're not asking me for
money after Michael paying off your
debt last week.

But Imogen's more than welcome to come
over.

We can all watch a movie or something?

- Please, Mum. You know I'm sorry.

Can you and Mr Byrne get off my case
for one night?

Please?

- OK. But I want you home by ten.

- Thanks.

- Sonya. I need your advice.

Where would be the best place to order
a wedding cake?

- Hang about, you're telling me you
ain't even ordered it yet?

- Well, no, with the workload I've got
to get

through at the moment, I'm falling way
behind on all the preparations.

- You have had your dress fitted,
haven't you?
- Not as yet, no.

- Ordered flowers? Sent out wedding
invitations?

Listen, why don't you make a list and
give it to me later.

I think I've just become your official
wedding planner.

- Are you sure? Thank you so much!

- Of course. You'll never get it all
done otherwise.

You leave it to Sonya.

- Are you OK?

- Can you help me at lunchtime?
There's something I need to do.

- What is it?
- Can you help me?

- On with your work, please, Lula.

- BELL RINGS

- Dynasty.

Come here.

- What do you want?

- Look, I know we're over

and that you don't care about me the
way you did.

But I still care about you.

- Why can't you stop hanging around
like some sad case?

- I'm not being a sad case. I love
you.

- Just leave me alone, Kevin.

- I'll leave you alone if you tell me
that you're actually happy.

Cos I saw how you were with him today.

Something's not right between you. I'm
trying to help you.

- I don't need any help.

- I don't believe you. Tell me what it
is.

- Just leave it Kevin.
- Has he done something to you?

- Are you stupid or something? How
many times have I got to tell you?

- He has.

- It was just the two of us in
Chalky's flat.

And he...

I mean, we...

I led him on, all right?

I made him think that I wanted to.

So you can't go blaming Steve-O.
- He raped you.

- Don't say that. Don't say that word.

- He did.

- It's all sorted, now? So just leave
it.

Steve-O will hurt you.
- I don't care.

- Kevin, please. I don't want anything
to happen to you.

Don't mess with him.
- He can't get away with this!

- There's nothing you can do. You
can't tell anyone. Just drop it.

Cos I have.

- Christine? Thanks for the report.

You look busy?
- When aren't we?

- Anything I can help with?
- I doubt it.

- One nil to you.

- Is there no-one else Ndale could
ask?

I mean he must have a mate that he'd
want to be best man?

- Not really, no.

He would have asked you himself, but
he felt awkward.

- Of course, look, I'd love to.

- Tom, thank you so much, that means a
great deal to us.

Sorry to disturb you.
- What is it, Audrey?

- Well, you know

I'm up to my eyes with all manner of
arrangements for this wedding.

Sonya's very kindly doing the dress
and the flowers.

I haven't asked anyone to be my
bridesmaid.

I wondered if you'd do me the honour?

- Why wouldn't you want someone in
your own family to be bridesmaid?

- They're not coming.

- And why is that?

- They don't even know I'm getting
married.

- Why haven't you told them, Audrey?
Worried about what they might say?

Worried that they might tell you it's
ridiculous? I mean come on!

- You're entitled to your own opinion.

You all are.

I know what you're all thinking.

That I'm preying on a younger man,
making an old fool of myself.

- Audrey, no-one's saying anything.

- Maybe not to my face, Tom.

Well, you're all wrong.

And Ndale and I will take particular
pleasure in proving it.

I would have thought we could have
relied on support

from at least some of you.

We love each other.

Why can't you accept that?

- VOICES OUTSIDE

What do you think you are doing in
here?

- I was just looking for a bucket and
a mop.

I spilt something in the English
corridors.

- Well, I will do it in a few minutes.
Go on, you can go.

- Oh, no, it was my fault. Let me do
it.

- Liberty gave me ten and I already
had 20.

You're sure we're doing the right
thing?
- There's no other option.

We need to act normal till the end of
the day or they'll figure something's
up.

I'll catch up later.

What's wrong?

- It's Dynasty.

- Right, mate, you need to get over
her.

- Steve-O... Steve-O raped her.

- You should go to the police.

- I can't. She doesn't want anyone to
know.

- The guy's a psycho. That's why me
and Imogen are leaving.

- Steve-O raped Dynasty. Who knows
what he'll do next - he's unhinged.

And you're running away?
- What else can I do?

- We can deal with him ourselves.
- What? Like fight him?

- No.
- Well, what, then?
- I mean take him out.

- You're mad.
- Yeah, I am. And you would be too!

- There must be someone we can go to
about this!
- No. Are you going to help me or not?

- Mr Byrne, or my mum or just someone.
- Did you hear what I said? We're
dealing with a thug, a criminal.

- Kevin, listen to me...
- No!

You've got people sorting your
problems for you

and you're still leaving.

I'll take care of this myself.

- We talk to Dynasty. Get her help.
- He's totally broken her.

- He's not scared of us, what can we
do?

- He's made her feel like it's her
fault.

And look what he's done to you.

He's turned you into a little coward.
Hiding away in corners,

and snivelling into his hanky.

He enjoys it, Connor. Making you feel
scared.

He gets off on it.

You said it yourself, he's going to
get away with this again and again.

I don't know about you, but I couldn't
live with myself knowing that's going
to happen.

- BELL RINGS

This is insane.

- Forget it. I don't know why I asked.

- Wait!

- Remember these exams are setting
tests,

they are not entrance examinations.

They just to help us determine the
most appropriate

classes for you to go into, should you
choose to come to us.

There's a place for all of you at
Waterloo Road if you want one.

This is just part of a process that
will allow you to make the most of
your time.

Can I introduce you to Lorraine
Donnegan?

She provides the funding for the
school.

- You've all been highly recommended
to us and I'm sure you'll make

a fantastic contribution to our
school.

- I think we'd both like to thank you
all very much for being here,

so just relax and try and do your
best.

- OK. You can start.

- Just say that... I was to go through
with this stupid idea. Which I'm not.

How are you actually going to do it,
eh?

How are you actually going to kill
him?

Yeah - you didn't like the sound of
that, did you?

- I'll think of something, don't
worry.

- And then what? You end up in prison?

- If we do it properly, we'll make
sure nobody catches us.

- There is no "we". And how do you
"properly" murder someone anyway?

- We give each other an alibi.

When it happened, I was with you and
were with me.

We get rid of the body. We throw him
in the river.

Imagine how many people want to see
him dead?

The police won't know who to come
looking for.

Tell me the truth, Connor, yes or no?

After everything he's put you through,

do you really want him on your case
forever?
- No.

- Then you'll never have to look over
your shoulder again.
- Kevin you can't...

- Hello? Shouldn't you two be
somewhere?

- Yeah.

- Thank you.

- Things without all remedy should be
done without regard.

What's done is done.

Ah, decided to join us?

- Where did you get to?
- Sorry.

- Right. Lady Macbeth. A nasty
manipulator?

Or a loyal wife who wants what's best
for her man? Dynasty?

- I don't know, Miss.

- Come on, she's got a right gob on
her.

Like somebody else I know.

Imogen?

- I think she comes across as dead
strong and supportive.

- She ends up a nervous wreck, though.
Why?

- Guilt?
- Or maybe fear of getting caught?

- She didn't murder Duncan, Macbeth
did.

- But he'd never have done it if she
hadn't goaded him in to it.

- Exactly.
- She totally wound him up from the
start, told him

he wasn't a proper man if he didn't do
it.
- She was wrong.

Because all she ever wanted was money
and power.

Supposing Duncan had it coming to him?
Like he deserved it?

- I think you're writing another play
there, Kevin.

- BELL RINGS

- Dynasty?

Are you OK? You don't seem your usual
self.

- I'm just tired, Miss. Our Barry was
playing his music till, like, three in
the morning.

- I'm always here.

- Why don't you tell her?
- Like I said...

- Dynasty, you need to talk to someone
about what's happened to you.
- Just leave it!

- I think it was the weak men around
Lady Macbeth that led to her downfall.

- Do you think so?
- Naw, I agree.

- Connor!

You're not bottling out on me are you,
mate?

We need to decide how we're going to
do this, and it's got to be a gun.

- Don't be stupid.
- No, no, I've been thinking about it,
and it's the only way.

- You can't just buy a gun in the
supermarket.

- Barry could get us one.

- OK. OK, but let me talk to him.

He's not going to sort a gun out for
you.

Especially if he sees you in this
state. I'll talk to him, OK?

- I'll see yous later.
- See you.
- All right?

- It's almost lunchtime.

Are you sure I shouldn't just go meet
Steve-O, like he wants?

- Of course I'm sure. I'll sort it. I
don't want you anywhere near him.

- You wanted to see me?

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

- And he thinks I'm just going to say
yes?

- He wants you to get hold of a gun.

- No, no, no, no. This is just some
kind of wind-up?

- You can't help him.

- What is he going to do with it?

- He's...going to kill Steve-O.

- You better tell me everything.

- Right, now, in your groups I'd like
you to come up with

three examples of how the history of
Ireland influenced

the writing of these stories.

Better late than never, Mr Mulgrew.

- Sorry.

He won't do it. Said no way.
- Did you tell him we'd pay?

- Yeah, and he's not interested. So
drop it.

- Give up? Just like that?
- Yes.

- Not only do you show great
discourtesy by arriving late,

Connor, but now you proceed to disrupt
the class.

Find another group, please.

- Do we have to do it like this?

Can't we just ring on the door later
and talk to her?

Explain our views?

- Talking does no good. We tried that
this morning.

Is this the house Jack said?

- Think so. Isn't this just going to
make them mad?

- Mad? Are you not mad at what Nox
Pharmaceuticals are doing to animals?

This is war.

And in a war you must take action
against your enemies.

So let's do this, come on. Come on!

- Look out!
- Where are you going?!
- Get out of here!

- Lula! Come on!
- I'm not finished!

- We've got to go!

Come on!

- Is says "sha" that doesn't mean
anything!

It was supposed to say "shame"!
- Come on!

- Hey.

Have you got anything you want to tell
me?

It's just that Connor said Steve-O did
something to you?

- Like what?

- Well, he said he...

He said he raped you.

- What? That's sick.

- So it's not true?
- No.

- I just wanted to hear it from you.

- Audrey? I've got everything under
control.

I've ordered your flowers, chosen the
menus

and I've arranged a fitting for your
dress.

- Sonya, I really can't thank you
enough,

and I'm so sorry about my outburst in
the staffroom this morning.

- Oh, it's just pre-wedding nerves.
Everyone gets 'em.

So, you sorted your bridesmaids and
that?

- No, not exactly.

- I've never been a bridesmaid. I've
always quite fancied it, myself.

- Well, I wouldn't want you to do it
out of pity.

- You're joking, aren't you?

- In which case I would be delighted
and honoured.

- Brilliant!

Thanks.

- Sonya is looking very happy.
- She is a dear soul.

- I thought maybe we could have lunch
together.

- Who cares what the rest of them
think. We have each other.

And with Tom and Sonya at our side
we'll have a beautiful day.

- Tom and Sonya?

- They've agreed to be our best man
and bridesmaid, our witnesses.

- Oh!

I'll see you later

- Harley and Kacey made me run away.

But those people will know. They can't
ignore us.

It felt so good, you know? Knowing
that I was actually doing something.

- And what exactly did you write?

- I was going to write "shame." But I
couldn't finish.

So it just says "sha". But she's going
to get the message.

- You think?

- I thought you would be pleased?

- Pleased because you redecorated
someone's garage door

and got paint all over your uniform
without communicating anything?

It's going to be wiped off in no time
anyway.

No impact, no effect.

- I wanted to do something.

- You start by thinking. And getting a
clear message out there.

- So, you're going to be Audrey's
bridesmaid? What are you doing?

Are you trying to destroy the wedding?
- No.

I just wanted to be part of your
special day, that's all.

- You're not going to tell Audrey
about us?

- I don't know!

- Sonya! We have spoken about this. I
am marrying Audrey, OK?

Look, besides, it's the only way that
I can stay in the country.

My visa will be expiring soon. You
understand?

- Marry me instead, then?
- All the paperwork is complete.

And if we change it now, how is that
going to look to the authorities?

- Then I've got no choice, I suppose.

I'm going to have to tell her.

- Look, maybe... Maybe we can still
see each other, you know?

Just from time to time?

- I didn't think you wanted me any
more?

- Oh, come on, of course I want you!

You are extremely hard to resist.

- But what about Audrey?

- As long as Audrey never finds out,
you and I, we can still be together.

- Really?

- Get off me, Barry! What do you want?

- Speak to me like that again and I
won't get you what you want.

- Connor told me you wouldn't get it.

- Yeah, well, that was before I spoke
to my sister.

Look, go into the old Maddiston
warehouse on the river.

There's a lift shaft at the back.

I'll leave it in a box there for you
by the pillar.

This afternoon.

Oi! Have you got that?

- Yeah.
- Right.

- This should be everything you need.

If I do say so myself, it's a pretty
persuasive argument.

- Thank you so much for this.

- Will it be enough to change
Lorraine's mind?

- She won't be able to deny evidence
presented to her in black and white.

- Is that more hope than expectation?

- I'll do everything I can.

- I know you will.

- Miss?
- Yes, Lula?

- Can I please be excused from the
class?

I need to go to the library

and do some research on bacterial
infections.

- What about this lesson?
- I'll copy up the notes later.

- Just make sure you do.
- Thank you, Miss.

- KNOCK AT DOOR

- I've got the completed exam papers.

- Thank you, Sonya. Just put them over
there for now, please.

- They were a nice crowd of kids.
- Seemed to be, yes.

- Very polite. Mind you, that's what
you'd expect, I suppose.

- Mmm?
- With them all coming from private
schools.

- What do you mean?
- You know, good manners and that.

- No, I mean how do you know they all
came from private schools?

- There was a list. I'm pretty sure
they was all private.

And none of them from around here,
either.

- Can you tell Lorraine I'd like to
see her, please?

Now!

- What's so important?

- How did we even get to this point?

- I need parents who shop around for
the best school for their kids to come
to us.

Or we're not going to be here for very
long.

- To come to us and pay?

That was one of the great ideas you
were going to bounce off me? We're to
be a fee paying school?

- There's no other way.
- Parents who can't afford to pay also
want the best for their kids.

I can't believe I'm even telling you
that. Have you forgotten where you
came from?

- I'm talking about the reality.

It's either this, or no school at all.

- Right, well then let me ask you
this.

How far do you think you would have
got in school in the face of an
attitude like that?

- Emotional blackmail doesn't make you
right.

- You really are about the money
aren't you?,
- You sound surprised.

- So much for your reason for closing
down the PRU.

Don't worry Lorraine, there's plenty
of your cash left over now.

The PRU doesn't fit in with your shiny
vision, does it?

These wealthy parents you'll be
courting would run a mile

if they thought there was a referral
unit here,

and they'll take all their money with
them.

- The PRU was a drain on time, money
and energy.

Michael, I want us to refocus.

From now on, we measure ourselves on
how the kids who leave us

compete in the job market.

On how we can prepare them to make a
difference.
- Oh come on!

Liberty Gordon's got an interview for
Edinburgh University today!

She's had her eyes opened up in terms
of what she can achieve.

And the work we have done for her here
HAS made a difference.

- Liberty is not most kids.
- She is. That's the whole point!

- Either you accept the changes we are
trying to make here or you don't!

- I would rather there was no school
at all, than one that reinforces

inequality and denies a fair and equal
chance to the children

and families out there, Lorraine, that
we are trying to serve.

I'd sooner see it close than let it
damage this community.

- In which case you have a problem.

So what are you going to do?

- What can I do?

I'm faced with a woman who has turned
her back on all her principles.

- Answer me. What are you going to do?

- There's only one thing I can do.
- Say it, then. Tell me.

- I resign.

- And I accept your resignation.

- You all right?
- Yeah. I'm fine.

- He's not serious, is he?

- Yeah. So am I.

Michael can't be our head teacher any
more. So I need a new one.

One who shares my vision and wants to
take the school forward.

- Me?
- Are you up for it?

- Lorraine, I... I'm not ready.
- So when will you be ready?

How are you ever going to know if you
don't just jump in and do it?

- OK.
- That's more like it.

- Hey, Dynasty.

- Is she OK?

- I'm sorting it.

Turns out Barry can help.

So, I'm going to go down to the docks
and Steve-O's going to pay.

- Kevin. You can't.

BELL RINGS

Kevin.

- We heading now, then? To the
station?

- Erm, I'll meet you there at four.
- Why aren't we going together?

- I can't. My mum wants to see me.

She'll get suspicious if I don't turn
up.
- OK.

I'll go out the back way so Steve-O
doesn't see me.
- Yeah. Course.

- Hey, it's going to be OK. It'll all
be over soon.

Once we're away from here we won't
have to worry about Steve-O any more.

- Look, if I'm late, don't wait for
me, I'll just catch you up.

- I wanted this to work, Michael.

I wanted us to make it all happen.
Together.

- I know.

Still, I don't regret coming up here
and trying.

- I have to do what I think is right.
- I wouldn't expect anything less of
you.

I just wish there was something I
could say to you that would make you
understand how I feel.

- I'm sorry it's come to this.
- Me too.

- Imogen. Are you leaving? I heard you
and Connor.

- I have to.

- You were just going to go and you
weren't going to tell me?

- I wasn't going to tell anyone.

- I'm supposed to be your mate.

- Maybe you should be asking why we're
leaving?

It's because of Steve-O, your
boyfriend.

He wants Connor to burgle houses for
him and who knows what else. He's a
headcase.

- I didn't know.
- You didn't know what he was like? Do
me a favour.

You can lie to yourself, but it won't
wash with anyone else.

- I mean it, I didn't know
- You've made your choice, Dynasty.

No-one's making you go out with him.

- SHE SOBS

- I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I
said.

I was just really...
- It's not you. It's Steve-O.

- Why? What has he done?

- SHE SOBS

Hey, Mr Byrne!
- Liberty, Come back, come back. So
how did it go?

- It was brilliant. Had such a great
day. I definitely want to go there.

- Good. That's great news.

- And thank you for everything you've
done.

I wouldn't have been there if it
weren't for you.

- No, no, it was a total pleasure.
Well done, you.

You deserve every success.
- Thank you, Sir.

- Robert. It's Michael Byrne.

Yeah, I did want to talk to you. Quite
urgently, in fact.

It's about the future of Waterloo
Road.

- I'll Speak to Tom. Well, it's the
end of the day now so...

- Have you seen Michael?

- Actually, he's left.

He's resigned as head teacher of
Waterloo Road.

- Why?

- There are changes I need to
implement here which he felt he
couldn't live with.

- After everything Michael has given
this school...

- It was his choice, Christine.

- OK, Nikki, what do you have to say
about this?

- I've asked Nikki to take over as
Head, with immediate effect. And she's
said yes.

- This is a joke. You are no head
teacher.

- Except I am, aren't I? From this
moment and for a long time to come.

And I'm going to make something of
this school.

So I suggest you go away and think
about how you plan on contributing
here.

Then come and tell me about it. I'll
be all ears.

- Mrs Mulgrew! Mrs Mulgrew!
- Not now, Imogen.

- You have to come. It's Dynasty.
Please! She's in the toilets.

- What's happened?
- She's a mess. It's because of
Steve-O.

- Steve-O?
- He just keeps on ruining people's
lives.

You've no idea what he's done.
- No, no, Michael sorted all that?

Connor doesn't owe him anything any
more.

- It's not about money any more. He's
blackmailing us.

- How is he blackmailing you?
- With our marriage certificate.

I know, and I'm sorry. He's dangerous.

I don't know what he's done to
Dynasty, but I've never seen her like
this before. Please!

- Dynasty?

Tell me what happened.

- I can't.

- Yes, you can.

Whatever it is.

I'm going to stay right here.

And you take all the time you need.

- It's Steve-O.

SHE SOBS

QUIETLY:
- Right.

- He made me...

- Made you what?

- Have sex.

SHE SOBS

- Oh, come here.

- Why didn't you say anything?

- Cos it was all my fault.

- No.

No, it wasn't.

- We have to go to the police.
- Imogen!

We are going to wait until you're
ready...

..before we do anything.

I know how much courage it took you
just to tell us.

But Dynasty, you can't let this break
you.

- SHE SOBS

I was scared that no-one would believe
me.

- Well, I do. But you listen to me,
listen.

Imogen is right. You have to report
him.

- What if he just denies it? And says
he's my boyfriend?

- Well, whether he's your boyfriend or
not, he... He assaulted you.

You have the strength to do this. I
know you do.

And I will be with you...

..every step of the way.

- OK.

- I think you handled it really well.

- It's going to take time for them to
accept me

and some of them never will.

- Which is their decision and their
problem.

You are now the head teacher of
Waterloo Road.

And I have absolutely no doubt in my
mind that you are the right person for
the job.

- Thank you.

I'll admit, I'm a little bit
apprehensive.

But...it means everything that you
have put your faith in me.

I won't let you down.

- I know you won't.

- Kevin! Look, don't do it.

- If you're not here to help me, just
go.

- You could get arrested or killed. Do
you think that's what Dynasty wants?
- I mean it, Connor. Leave me alone!

- Cos I'm telling you now, it isn't.
So you're not doing this for her.

- Go away! Or I swear if you try to
stop me, I'll...

- You'll what? Eh? Shoot me as well?

Listen to yourself!

I can't let you do it.
- What are you doing?

- Whatever it takes to make you stop.
- Get out of my way. I mean it.

- So do I. Look, Kevin...

- It's not even here.
- You looking for something, lads?

Why don't you tell me about your
little plan?

So you were going to kill me, and then
throw away the gun?

That's what I've been told!

- What do you mean, that's what you've
been told?

How could you? After what he did to
your sister?

- You're going to let him do this?
- You was going to do it to him.

- Pays to know who your friends are.

- Go on, then, do it!

Cos if you think I'm going to stand
here and beg, you're wrong.

I wouldn't give you the satisfaction!

- Do something, then. You going to let
him shoot him?!

- It's not my fight, mate.
- You raped Dynasty.

That's going to get out, whether you
shoot me or not,

everyone is going to know exactly who
you are!

- Is that right?
- You might think you can take
whatever you want,

but you could never make her like you
or respect you, Steve-O.

Dynasty hates you, do you realise
that?
- Kevin!

- She wants you gone as much as we do.

Nobody one would miss you if you
disappeared, Steve-O.

Especially not Dynasty.
- Shut up!

- Her life would be better if she'd
never met you!
- I said shut it!
- GUN CLICKS EMPTY

- You set me up! It's empty!

- Dynasty said you never did anything
to her. But I know her.

And I know when she's lying.

- Did you think I'm was going to let
you get away with it? Eh?

- You raped my sister.

You think I was going to let you get
away with that?

- SIRENS APPROACHING

- I was never here. This stays between
us three.

- Armed police! On your knees! On your
knees! On your knees!

Hands in front of you! Look at me!

Look at me!

- Are you OK?

What's happening? That's my son.

- Excuse me, Madam. This way son.

- Have you seen the others?

- No, not yet. Have you been released
on bail?

What did you say?

- That Steve-O's been on at us since
he moved here.

He followed us and pulled a gun.

- Good.

- I can't believe this whole thing was
a set up,

just so Barry could get back at
Steve-O.

- I can't believe I thought shooting
him would fix things.

I'm sorry for bringing you into this.

And thank you for trying...trying to
stop me.

- It's OK.

I guess it's Dynasty we need to think
about now.

- I don't think she'll want anything
to do with me after what I've done.

I don't even know if I should wait for
her.

- No, you should.

I'll...leave you guys alone.

- I was just going.

- I don't know what you think you were
doing, but you're an idiot.

- I know.
- You could have gotten hurt. I never
would've forgiven myself.

- I'm so sorry.

- Fees are against everything we've
worked for Michael.

- Well, it hasn't happened yet.

- Nox Pharmaceuticals are criminals.
- Change the record, Lula.

- She'll kick you out.
- She's profiting from murder!

- I'm leaving. I'm done with you.

- We're going for good.
- You're leaving?

- I need to move on.
- What about us?

- Please, Audrey, please don't cancel
the wedding.

- There's a strike! What are we going
to do?

- No teachers! We rule the school!

CHEERING

Yes!

- I need to see the head.

- You're speaking to her.

- Mmm.
