Your husband remains in a coma. I've
tried every treatment possible

and now we have to discuss taking him
off the ventilator.

- From now on, you've got all the
family you need with us.

And Dynasty knows I don't say that
lightly.

- She doesn't say that lightly.

- You know, I bet that this is just
the news that you've been

praying for, isn't it?

So you don't have to go through with
the transplant?

- Kevin.
- Mm.
- I love you too.

- Christine?

- Can I help you?

- Simon Lowsley, your new deputy head.

- I can't explain it but, for now at
least,

your husband's breathing on his own.

- You again! How did you get in?

- I let her in! We need to get to
school early.

- We need this.

- Eh! What about all this mess?

- We're collecting for a present for
when Mr Budgen comes home.

- And we need to catch people at the
gate.

- Hmm, well, in that case...
- What's going on?

- Hi, sir!
- Lula! Doesn't you mother feed you at
home?

- What do you think we should get Mr
Budgen as a present?

- Being the guest of honour at a
charity auction should be enough.

- Yeah, but as it's Mr Budgen, why
don't you get him

a DVD player for after his op?

It's going to be weeks before he's
back on his feet again.

- Thanks, sir!

- How is the great man?

- Yeah, he's excited that the doctors
are letting him come home,

pretending that he's not. Hm!

Do you think he's going to be OK
coming to the school tonight?

- Well, worst comes to the worst we
can always arrange

a satellite link-up to the
Schoolhouse.

- What, like they do in the Oscars?

He'd love that!

- Hey, not a word about these.

The kids have been so brilliant
raising money for charity

I thought we'd do something special
for them for after the auction.

Bit of a thank you on Grantly's
behalf.

He's always been a big kid about
fireworks himself.

- That is a brilliant idea.

Do you know? It's fantastic the way
everyone's rallying around.

What a perfect time to break the news.
- What news?

- The kidney transplant. You must be
bursting to tell Grantly

you're giving him a new lease of life.

- HE GROANS

- Some of you have already met him but
let me formally

introduce my new deputy, alongside
Tom, Simon Lowsley.

Simon will be speaking to staff and
pupils today

with regards to the new timetable.

- So you can all hit the ground
running next term.

- Quite.

Which brings me to the more pressing
thing -

the auction tonight.

Proceeds are going to Kidney Donation
Trust.

Obviously, it's going to be a special
occasion so no excuses.

I want everyone to contribute.

- Contribute what, exactly?

- Well, it's an auction, so you make a
pledge - cook dinner for two,

grow a moustache, do something

and then we sell the pledge to the
highest bidder.

So all pledges to Sonya by lunchtime,
please,

and the sillier the better. It's meant
to be fun.

- And are senior management being
silly too or is that just us plebs?

- Wait and see, George, wait and see!

- So, Mr Lowsley, what made you choose
Waterloo Road?

- The council.

- Not exactly, Tom.

I could have taken a deputy post in a
leafy suburb,

where middle-class parents are killing
each other

to get into the catchment area.
- Why on Earth didn't you?

- Easy. I want to get home every night

and really feel I've really made a
difference.

It's true!

- You seem to have worn very well. No
grey hairs yet.

- Don't be fooled. I've got a portrait
in the attic.

I'm actually older than you are.

You're actually first thing on my
to-do list.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

I want to cut through any bad feeling
over the deputy job.

Your time will come.

- You reckon?
- Yeah. Hear me out.

There's a leadership course in Wales

that's run by an ex-lieutenant in the
Army,

I think it would be perfect for you.

I could have a word with Christine on
your behalf.

- I don't think so.

- Simon. You want to check your facts.

Nikki was a captain in the Army.

- You all right, Tom?
- Yeah.

- Come on then! Collection for Mr
Budgen.

- I need my money to buy Liberty
Gordon at tonight's auction.

She's offering a fitness workout.
- Sorry. We're skint.

- Come on. You lot are good for a few
quid.

- Don't encourage them, Kevin.

This is what our family has to deal
with.

Scroungers after our hard-earned cash.

- It's a good cause, actually.
- Yeah, I know.

- The only present that old git
deserves is a coffin.

- Barry, the head would like to see
you in her office.

- I was only having a laugh.

- Good to see you're now a fully
paid-up member of the Barry clan.

- That's...that's not what it's like.

- You'll be after our lunch money
next.

- Ignore them. They're just jealous.

Aren't they, big boy?

- Rhiannon! Did you get that job at
the salon?

- I don't start till next week.

Is everyone giving?
- Yeah.

- Go on then.

Kyle?

Kyle Stack!

- Who's that?

- Proper psycho. What's he doing here?

- Oi, Kyle, wait up.

What are you running away for?

Rhiannon Salt. Don't you remember me?

- Dunno. Maybe.

- It's probably cos I changed my hair.
That's what it is.

So I take it you like cheese and onion
then?

- In you go.

- Sit down, Barry.

Ms Boston has given me the PRU reports
for this year.

- So this is a bust.

- On the contrary, she thinks you've
worked very hard.

I want everyone to start with a clean
slate under my headship

so I'm going to take you out of the
PRU and putting you back

in the classroom, if you're serious
about getting your qualifications.

- Really? That's...

That's good.

Yeah.

Yeah. Can I go now?

- Barry, one more thing.

You step out of line, I'll be down on
you like a tonne of bricks.

You agreed to this.

- Yeah. Just wondering what Michael
would make of it.

- Michael's not head any more. I am.

Did you hear Mr Budgen's come out of
his coma?

And Mr Clarkson's been helping out
loads.

You must remember Mr Clarkson?

Oh, God. I'm sorry.

He gave evidence against you, didn't
he?

So...what were it like? You know,
being inside.

- I don't want to talk about it.

- You're not looking to cause trouble,
are you?

- I'm different now. Honest. I swear.

- Can you let go of me, please?

- Sorry.

Where do I go? To enrol?

- I've got a mate who works in the
office.

She'll help us sort it out.

- I'd love to help, but me hands are
tied.

I can't enrol pupils.

And, for future reference,

I don't do baptisms and I can't give
out knighthoods neither.

- Well, who does enrol people then?
- Mrs Mulgrew.

- Well, can you tell her we want to
see her?
- She's busy.

- Sonya.

- Mr Clarkson, this is...
- Kyle Stack.

You should be in class.
- Kyle were wondering if...
- Class! Now!

Right, you're coming with me.

- That hurts!
- Did you run away or what?
- I've done my time.

- So what you doing back here? You on
some kind of vendetta, is that it?

- You're the one with the vendetta. I
got nowhere else to go.

I want to come back to school.
- Problem?

- I've got this one. Kyle Stack.
Ex-pupil.

Just got out of prison for ABH.

- I made a mistake. I've done my time.

I've been studying inside.

I want to get my exams and come back
to school.

- You can't just bundle people off the
premises.

- We do not want this kid at this
school.

He's got a history of violence.

He fired a crossbow at another pupil.
My son!

- I think we should take this to
Christine. Kyle?

- What are you doing here?

- Some people have stepped out of line
recently.

I'm here to keep an eye on them. Eh?

I let Mulgrew think I was keen to get
my exams, so she let me stay.

I'm out of the PRU.
- Like Rhiannon.

- If they let you out, they'll let
anybody out.

- You need reminding who's boss.

- That would be me, I think. Sit!

- Harley said he was the leader of a
knife gang in Rochdale.

- It all got out of hand.

They were just kids, but he's
different now.

- Oh, so you knew him?
- Yeah.

- What is that weird squeak I hear? Is
it a mouse?

A door with a faulty hinge?

A distress call from a dying world.

Oh, no, it's Rhiannon,

a girl who's had more warnings than
Hurricane Katrina.

- She's talking about this new guy,
sir. Hard case.

Just got out of prison.

- Looks like you've got a bit of
competition there, bro.

- We have a new student. Introduce
yourself.

In French.

- Sir?

- THEY CHUCKLE

He helped a gang infiltrate the
school. Tariq's sister was almost

burnt to death. Then there was the
incident with the crossbow.

Why are we still talking about this?

- Yes, Tom, I've got the picture.

I trust Tom's instinct on this.

Kyle Stack doesn't belong here.

- Wait a minute.

He says he's here to learn, right?

He says he's been studying in prison.
Does that count for nothing?

- The boy's a born liar. He's never
been interested in school.

- Well, then we should at least find
out why he's here.

He's travelled half the length of the
country to get to Waterloo Road.

Isn't anyone curious about that?

- My main concern has to be the safety
of our pupils.

- Kyle comes from a very difficult
background. He's damaged.

Things don't go right for him, he hits
out. Ask Nikki Boston.

He attacked her.

Prison won't have changed that.

- So what? We just kick him out?

- What would you suggest?

- Let's take him on. Just for today.

It's clear he needs a safe environment

and I've got a track record turning
around boys like Kyle.

I'm good at it.

Just give me a day to get to know him.

Or don't you believe in second
chances?
- To do what?

Fire another shot with a crossbow?

- Tom. I don't have a son.

But if I did, I'd find it very hard to
forgive someone like Kyle.

- Well, I do have a son

and I completely understand Tom's
feelings.

But...let's see what we're dealing
with here.

I'll track down his file and talk to
the probation officer.

- And in the meantime?

- Let's put him in a class, keep an
eye on him.

See what he's capable of.

But I'm making him your
responsibility, Simon.
- Of course.

- Kyle! They enrolled you then?

- "Kyle! They enrolled you then(!)"

- It's a shame your talent for mimicry
doesn't extend to

the language of Voltaire, Barry.

- Can I have a quick word with the
class, Mr Windsor?

- La mia casa e la tua casa, Mr
Lowsley.

- Everyone, this is Kyle Stack.

I'd like you all to make him welcome.

You know where I am.

- Welcome to my world, Kyle.

Perhaps you'd like to introduce
yourself in French?

- Je m'appelle Kyle.

Sorry, sir, I'll pick it up. I'm a
quick learner.

- Don't worry, you made a better fist
of it than our other ingenue.

BELL RINGS

- And it's just down there. To the
left, OK?

- Kyle! All right, I'm Barry.

And this isn't Rochdale.

So don't go getting any ideas.

I run things round here.

Hang on a minute. I haven't finished
talking.

He blank me?

He blank ME?
- Maybe you're spending too much time
in the PRU, Barry.

Big fish. Little pond.

- Sit down, please.

What are you standing there for?

- Where do you want me to sit, sir?

- OK. Now the exams are over, I've
prepared a reading list.

I want you to recommend a book

and tell your classmates what you like
about it.

Any recommendations, Barry?

- Lady Chatterley's Lover, sir.

- And who wrote that?

- DH Lawrence, sir.

- And what did you like about it,
Barry?

The shameful exploitation of
Nottinghamshire mineworkers

in the early 20th century?

- No, I watched it on DVD. The bit
where she and the gamekeeper...

- Try reading the book over the break?

Let your imagination do a little bit
of work, eh?

And what have you been reading, Kyle?

- Shawshank Redemption.

The Great Escape.

- CLASS CHUCKLE

- Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain.

- Well, at least you know the author.

And you've read this? From cover to
cover?

How does it end?

- I got to the bit where Sawyer gets
shot and Jim won't leave him.

Even though Tom's tricked him.

- SOUTHERN US ACCENT:
- "We said there was no home

"like the raft after all."

- What's so great about the raft?

- I don't know.

It's something you can build with your
own hands.

It can take you were you want to go.
- A prison cell.

- Shut up, Barry!

So, didn't you finish it?

- I lost it.

- Well, thank you, Kyle.

Kyle's right. It's a great book.

Imogen, your selection, please.

- Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte.

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and...

..Of Mice And Men by John Steinbeck.

- Good.

- That folder you wanted. Kyle Stack.

- Oh, thanks. Anything from the
family?

- Well, his mum hung up on me,

so I can only assume she don't want
nothing to do with him.

- Never assume, Sonya. Can you chase
the probation officer again, please?

- Yeah.

- What is Kyle Stack doing here?

- He wants to come back to school.

I'm just waiting to speak to his
probation officer to see

if we should consider it.

- He's not interested in school. He's
not here to do his exams.

Do you even know what he's capable of?
He's here to cause trouble.

- Well, if that's the case, he'll be
out on his ear.

- Was this Simon's idea?

- No, Nikki. It was mine.

Look, I wanted you as my deputy head.
You know that.

But Simon's here and here to stay so
maybe we should...

cut him some slack?

- BELL RINGS

Kyle, wait.

Take this. Finish it.

- Does he get there in the end, sir?

- We're never quite sure where he's
heading. Finish the book.

And don't lose it.
- I didn't.

- Have you thought about my
proposition?

What's wrong with you?

You nervous?

Wondering where the screws are?

- Look. You're the man.

I'll show you respect out there.

I don't want no trouble.

I got work to do.

- Don't give me that.

I can smell it on you.

Prison.

Come on then.

Let me see what you got.

- All right?

Well done in there. With Mr Clarkson.

- Thanks.

- What happened in there?

- It suits you.
- What?
- Having your hair like that.

- We have a problem.

According to his probation officer,

Kyle's not the model prisoner he led
us to believe.

- What do you mean?
- He assaulted another inmate.

- Wait a minute. If he was a risk,
he'd never have got probation.

We can't just dump him on the street.

- He banged someone's head into a
sink, Simon.

We have to make sure he doesn't do
that to one of our pupils.

- He was different in class.

He was really trying to fit in.

I think he wants to prove something to
us. Let me talk to him.

- With respect, Tom, you're too close.

- Kyle's a vulnerable kid. He needs a
firm hand.

- And I can't give him that?

- I want this dealt with, right?

Simon, you speak to Kyle about this
incident. I need facts.

And I want a clear recommendation of
what we should do with him.

- Absolutely.

- And, Tom, Kyle's not the only person
in the school.

We're supposed to be celebrating
Grantly's return. You pushed for it.

Maybe you should concentrate on that.

- You all right, Tom?

- Yeah.

- Are you having seconds thoughts
about Grantly?

- Second, third and fourth.

I'm terrified.

Maggie wants me to make the big
announcement at the auction.

- You don't have to do it.

Nobody would blame you if you backed
out.

- And that's the other thing.

I'm being swept down river by Kyle
Stack and his raft.

KYLE:
- What do you want me to say?

- It's up to you.

We just need to understand why you've
come back.

- I promised myself I'd study.

When I went to prison, I wanted to
turn my life around.

- The probation officer says

that you assaulted another prisoner
for no reason?

- I don't want to talk about it.

- Listen, Kyle, I want to help you,
OK?

But I can only help you if you tell me
the truth.

We need to know what happened.

- He was picking on me. Big guy on the
wing.

I don't know why.

He didn't like me going to the
library.

Said I did it to make him look stupid.

And he said some stuff about my mum.

So I hit him.

- So tell me about your mum.

- Nothing to tell.

Doesn't want to know me.

- You sure about that?

- I'm going to show her. I'm going to
get my exams.

And anyone standing in the way...

Don't tell anybody about my mum.

It's private.

Can I go now?

- We'll talk again soon.

- You all right? I thought they were
going to kick you out.

- I was just chatting to Mr Lowsley.

- So what's he like then? Mr Lowsley?

- He's OK, yeah, he's all right.

- What were you talking about then?

- So, what's this auction about later?

- Oh, no! I said I'd put out chairs.

- Don't go!

Stay with me.
- What is it?

What's the rush?

Look, Kyle, I've been through some bad
stuff as well.

This place has really helped me out.

And it'll help you.

You can come if you want.

- Testing.
- Mic check, mic check, one, two, one,
two!
- Testing!

PIERCING FEEDBACK

- Clear, clear!

- Oh! What are yous doing?

- Sorry.

- All right, guys?

Well, what needs doing then?

- It's all done. We've got class in
five minutes.

- What's the big deal?
- You promised you'd help.

- I were with Kyle. He's new, he
needed looking after.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so, so
sorry! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

I'm so, so sorry! Sorry! Sorry!

- Stop it!
- I'm sorry! So, so sorry!
- Stop it!

- I'm just having a laugh.

- Can't you see everybody's just
laughing at you?

- Well, that's the point.

- You're making a fool out of
yourself.

- Well, if you're so bothered about
looking stupid,

why don't you wipe the lipstick off
your cheek?

I mean, it's understandable, you two
all over each other,

cos you have been a bit of a caged
animal, haven't you?

- Let's get out of here.

- I don't want to, Kyle.

- I thought you liked me.

- I do like you.

- I thought we were going to live in
the Schoolhouse together.

- You've only just got here.

Oh, I get it. You think I'm easy, is
that it?

- I was looking out for you.

- I were only having a laugh with my
mates.

- I'm sorry.

- I know.

I just think you should lighten up,
Kyle.

- OK. So, he's very guarded. But we
made good progress.

- And?

- Well. He's obviously had a very
difficult time in prison.

It seems the immediate trigger to the
incident was his mother.

- Who's disowned him.
- Yeah.

He's plainly devastated by that and
wants to salvage the relationship.

- And that's why he attacked another
prisoner?

- There's clearly more to it than that
but it's day one

and I didn't want to push too hard.

- You don't look convinced, Tom.

- No, no. Simon's obviously made a
connection with Kyle,

but if Kyle's bottling something up
and we don't know what,

it makes sense to get the full story.

- Yeah, I agree.

And now I have his trust, it's just a
matter of time before I find out.

But if you want my recommendation now,

I think we should approach the council
about offering him a place.

- We're not there yet.

But time is short so, Simon,

if you feel confident, carry on your
work with him.

You happy with that, Tom?

- Yeah.

- OK, when you're ready,

take your offerings to round to the
assembly hall, please.

- Ooh! Sorry!
- Thanks.

- Could I have a word?
- Course.

- Wow, that looks impressive.

- When I knew this boy before, he
could barely boil an egg!

- Where on Earth did you learn to bake
like that?
- The kitchens.

- Where?

- Kyle will be able to come to the
party tonight, won't he?

- He deserves to, all his efforts,
but...Mrs Mulgrew's decision.

- Come on.

- What can I do for you?

- Well, it's actually about tonight,
Maggie.

Are you sure it's wise to be making a
big public announcement

about Tom's, well, offering his kidney
for transplant?

- Well, it's a wonderful thing he's
doing

so the sooner Grantly hears about it,
the better.

- But, it's also a very private
matter.

And I was just talking to Tom.

- Hang on a minute. It was actually
Tom's idea, this, you know?

What's he been saying?

- I just don't think it's right that
he should feel railroaded.

- Well, I don't feel it's right for
you to

stick your nose into other people's
business! Now, shoo!

- OK. Good afternoon, everyone.

For those that don't know me, I'm
Simon Lowsley,

your new deputy head.

Thanks for giving up your period six
especially now the exams are over.

Right. I've been working on the new
timetable for next term

and thought you might want to
contribute.

- £5, sir.
- Six.

- I can see you're all ready for the
auction.

- Have you made a pledge, sir?

- Come to think of it, I haven't.

Anyway, look, this is important, OK?

I'm not sure that you're in this
group.
- Barry, sir.

That's a shame. I heard it was an
opportunity to have

a say in the future of MY school.

I've given up a lot of valuable time
to be here.

- It's a shame you couldn't get here
on time. Take a seat. Quickly.

Barry's right though.

This is a chance to take control of
your future.

Make it better.

I'm aware that discussing the
timetable doesn't sound like

the most exciting thing on the planet.

But rather than talk detail, let's
talk vision, yeah?

And let's make it less formal.

Grab a seat on the sofas.

If you can't get a seat, bring a chair
over and let's make a circle.

- Sir, Mr Budgen's going to be here
soon and we've only got 20 quid.

- That's almost enough for the DVD
Player.

- Tom. Am I forcing you to give
Grantly your kidney? Yes or no?

- No. No. Of course not. But I've got
a class.

- Because now's the time to say.

- Everything's fine. If Grantly wants
my kidney, he can have it.

- See! Mr Clarkson is giving his
kidney.

The least you lot can do is cough up.

- Shut up, Lula! Don't you ever learn!

- He could die, you know.

- Right. Who's going to kick off then?

What would like to happen next term?

Barry?

- I'm looking forward to staying
alive.

- Well, I'm sure we'd all support
that.

- Because I'm in a school with a
violent criminal.

Somebody's who was banged up for
shooting people with a crossbow.

- Look, we're not here to dwell on the
past, OK?

We're here to talk about the future.

Kyle's served his sentence and can
take his place back in society.

- So what was it like in prison, Kyle?

- I don't want to talk about that,
sir.

- I said we're not here to dig up the
past.

We're here to look to the future.

- But he's been inside though, sir.

We might all end up there.

We all know what goes in prison, don't
we, sir?

All those big, tough guys.
- Shut it!

- Barry. That's enough. Kyle, calm
down.

- And your little mummy's boy routine
wouldn't last five minutes inside.

- Was this your idea? Why are you
letting him do this?
- Kyle!

- Stop asking questions!

- Reading your book with your big...
- Barry.
- ..blue eyes.

- Right, guys, calm it down.

- Better get the guards, sir.

Little mummy's boy needs to be locked
up.

- That's enough! Put it down!
- Kyle! Kyle!

Kyle.

- Here we are. Home, sweet, home.

- See you didn't bother tidying up for
me.

- The time you were spent in that
coma,

you're lucky I didn't sell your things
at the car boot.

You just sit there. Let me do all the
work.

- Still got your uses then.

- It's OK, you know.

- What?

- To let it out. You don't have to
have an answer for everything.

- I just feel so useless.

- You're alive. That's what matters.

- You think that now, but how long
will it be before you wish I...

- Don't you dare say it!

- I'm a shadow of the man I was.

- You'll get better.

You know,

Tom's been spending some time helping
out, while you've been away.

He's been worth his weight in gold.

- Turn my back, you get a toy boy
in(!)

- Might have.

Seriously though, he's full of
surprises.

You just wait until you talk to him.

- I've checked everywhere.

This wasn't how I expected to learn
the layout of my new school.

- It doesn't look like he's on site.

Wherever he's hiding, he's still a
threat.

- He was provoked into attacking
Barry.

You really think he's dangerous?

- Well, you spoke to him, Simon. What
do you think?

- Thanks.

- We've checked everywhere. He's not
in the school.

- Maybe we should keep looking?

- I've notified the police. They've
put out an alert.

In the meantime we have to stay
vigilant.

But, come on, this is a special night
for the school.

- I'd better go pick up Grantly and
Maggie.

- I'll double-check downstairs.
- Thanks.

- Kyle?

- Grantly, Maggie, you ready?

- He's just having a kip.

He'll need his energy tonight.

Tom, you know I wanted you

to make the announcement tonight at
the do, well...

..I think you should tell him now.

- Why, what's up?

- I thought bringing him back home
would remind him

of what he's got to live for but

he's just obsessed with what he's
lost.

And, well, your kidney, it'll change
everything.

If that's still what you want to do?

- You know, Maggie, this is a really
big deal for me.

But I've never been more certain about
anything in all my life.

Grantly?

Grantly?

- Ah, Thomas Clarkson, I presume.

- You've had us all sick with worry.

- That was hardly my intention.

- We thought we'd lost you there,
mate.

- I haven't recovered from a coma to
drown in a welter of sentimentality.

- Of course not.

- Margaret says you've got something
to tell me.

- Right, well,

first, you need to take a couple of
months to get your strength up

and then I'm going to give you one of
my kidneys.

Hopefully we'll get you back to where
you were.

Well, say something.

I understand that you're

not going to throw yourself on your
knees with gratitude.

- I appreciate your desire to help,
Tom, but I don't think you're

in full possession of the facts.

It takes more than good intentions to
become a kidney donor.

- Yeah. Tell me about it.

While you've been lying in your bed
all these months I've been busy.

I'm a match.

- But there are hazards.

- I know. And I've had counselling
about all the risks.

I'm 100% sure that this is what to do.

So do I get a hug now?

- No, Tom.

You're still a young man.

I won't take it. I can't.

Shouldn't we be leaving soon?

- I found this in the bathroom
cupboard.

It doesn't belong to any of ours.

- Train ticket from Rochdale, dated
yesterday.

Kyle Stack.

That's the last person I need hanging
round right now.

- So...how did it go?

- Welcome, everyone,

to the Waterloo Road end-of-term
charity auction -

our way of welcoming back

one of our longest serving and most
popular teachers -

Grantly Budgen.

- CHEERING

- Now, Mr Budgen has been held up and
will be with us shortly

so, without further ado, let me
introduce you to

your host for this evening, Mr Kevin
Chalk,

and the man with the gavel, Connor
Mulgrew.

- CHEERING

- Miss, I don't actually have any of
the pledges.

- Well, just do your own first.
- OK. Mine is first

and I'm going to be offering six hours
of help

with your maths homework!

- Technically, that's plagiarism.

- Ah, as it's for charity, George,
hmm?

- Where have you been?

- I've been typing them up for you
pair of cheeky monkeys!

- OK. Can we start the bid with 50p?
50p anybody?

- Kyle made that.

- Well, it's very nice.

- You're all happy to see the back of
him, aren't you?

- Oh, now, Rhiannon dear, that's just
not true.

- Although there is a knock-on effect
in terms of smaller class sizes.

- You should all be out looking for
him.

- Life goes on.

- Wait, listen! Listen!

Why are none of you doing anything?

We all need to be out looking for
Kyle.

- Anyway, do I hear a £6. £6, anybody?

- I've never been guest of honour in
my life.

- You won't have much of a life left
if you don't have that transplant.

- Perhaps we can find another donor.

- Tom, can you just give us a minute,
please?

Tom wants to do it.

And who else besides Tom would let
themselves be cut open for you?

- Oh, how I have missed your
pulverising bluntness.

The answer's still no.

I am not taking his kidney.

Where are we going?

- We need to sort this out.

So, why won't you do it?

- I'll leave this world beholden to
nothing and nobody.

- You what?

- To Kill A Mockingbird.
- Oh, no, no, no!

You do not get to hide behind your
books. Not with me, not over this!

- I have never owed anyone in my life.

Apart from the occasional bookmaker.

Can you imagine how awful it would be
to see the man every day,

knowing that I owe him a debt I can
never repay?

He's young, strong.

Me?

Spent force.

- You are not.

You're just tired.

And you're scared. You're scared of
going back into hospital.

You're scared of the op.

You're scared of hoping that things
will get better.

Please, don't give up now.

I've pinned everything, everything on
this transplant.

On getting you back.

Otherwise, you're right -

you're just a shell of a man, you're
going to die.

I really thought that I'd lost you -

the man that I love, more than
anything,

anything in the entire universe.

I cannot go through this again.

I cannot.

Goodbye, my love.

- Maggie?

Maggie!

- I found this. I think it's Kyle's.

- It could be anyone's, Rhiannon.

You know, your friends are worried
about you.

Why don't you come inside?

- He ran away and he didn't even say
goodbye.

He came here because he needed help.

And now everybody's glad he's gone.

- Maybe some people can't be helped.

- Tom, Maggie's going to leave me.

- Are you surprised? Do you know what
you've done to her?

Have you any idea what she's been
through these past few weeks?

- Please, Tom.
- Look, I haven't got time, Grantly.

There's people out there that can be
helped.

But unlike you - an ungrateful,

pig-headed old man who's determined to
throw his life away,

who couldn't care less about the
people he destroys along the way.

- I can't live without her!

- Then I'm not your best option,
Grantly.

I'm your only option.

- Then...

..perhaps, under the circumstances,

I might see my way clear to granting
you this...this...

- Honour...

..and privilege.

Come here.

- Thanks, Tom.

- You'd better go and find Maggie

before she starts divorce proceedings.

- Sold!

So, before we move on to our guest of
honour,

we move on to our final pledge,
Dynasty Barry.

A one-hour massage with aromatherapy
oils.

- What do you wear?
- Oh, just a towel.

- AUDIENCE: Ooh!
- She means you wear just a towel.

£10. Going, going, gone.

Sold to me.

- You can't do that. You're the
auctioneer.

- Just did!

- Excuse me, George. Where's Grantly
now? The auction's over.

- Talking to Maggie. Trust me - it's
important.

Listen, there's something else.

Kyle stashed his bag at the
Schoolhouse.

It's got his mum's letters,

everything he owns in the world
inside.

There's no way he'd leave without
that.

He's here somewhere. I'm sure of it.

- Then you'd better find him.

- Hey, you're missing the party.

- Not really a party girl.

- So what do you think we should call
it?

- Call what?

- The Waterloo Road girls' team we're
starting next year.

I wanted some input from my captain.

- It just seemed important to you both
that I said yes.

And it's just a kidney after all.

- Just wait till I get you home.

- Ladies and gentlemen, our guest of
honour -

Mr Grantly Budgen!

- CHEERING

- Well, if it isn't Lazarus back from
the dead.

- Verily the lunatics have taken over
the asylum.

- So glad you approve.

- I know Mr Budgen can seem a bit
miserable in class

but at the Schoolhouse we've seen a
whole new side of him.

He even taught me poker.

- He's taught me about wine.

- And he taught me the accumulators on
the horses.

- Speech!
- Speech!

- CHEERING

- I must confess to feeling somewhat
overwhelmed.

Which I think may in part be due to my
medication.

I would like to take this opportunity
of thanking...

..Mr Clarkson...

..for donating one of his own kidneys

in order that I might be

eternally grateful to him.

- Stop it!

- APPLAUSE

Kyle!

It's Tom Clarkson. I need you to come
back inside.

- You, stop there!

- OK, Kyle.

I just want to talk.

- I'd have killed Barry if you hadn't
stopped me.

I can't go back. I can't.

- And the total is

£471 and 43 pence!

- CHEERING

- A magnificent effort.

And, please, big thank you to our
hosts for the evening,

Kevin Chalk and Connor Mulgrew.

- It's a DVD player. For after the
operation.

- It's only a cheap one.

Mr Clarkson said you wouldn't be able
to tell the difference.

- Oh, I see, thanks!

- Where's Tom? Wasn't he meant to be
setting off the fireworks?

- He's checking for Kyle.

- OK, do you want me to get on with
it?

- Yeah, that would be great.

I'll bring everyone out in a minute.
- All right.

- They took me to the toilets.

They put a bag over my head so I
couldn't see.

Then afterwards... Well, there is no
afterwards.

I was the mummy's boy.

- OK, you lot, calm down, we've all
seen fireworks before.

Not too close.

- Kyle?

Kyle!

I've got to get to him! I'm the only
one he'll listen to!

- Everybody, stay calm. And quiet.

Police, please.
- I'll go up there.

- You stay out of sight. Let Tom
handle this.

Yes, we have an incident on the roof
of Waterloo Road.

- I got you wrong, Kyle. But you've
turned things round.

You've changed.
- So why?

- Sometimes things go wrong. It's
nobody's fault.

Look at me, Kyle, look at me!

I'm going to make you a promise, OK?

Now, this is the worst day in your
life.

Right here. Right now. The very worst
day.

But this is the day that you can take
control.

Hey, look, you've already taken the
first step.

It's going to be tough.

But I can help you now.

I can see it in you.

I didn't see it before.

But I can see it now.

I'm going to be with you every step of
the way.

I've got you!

SCREAMING

GASPING:
- Everybody, stay where you are!

- Um, yeah, ambulance. Waterloo Road.

- Tom.

- It wasn't Kyle's fault.

- Tom, keep talking, just... keep
talking.

Come on, just keep talking, OK!

Tom, stay. Stay with me.

Come on. I need you. We all need you,
Tom!

Just... Just...

Stay with me, come on.

Stay with me, Tom! Tom!

- KNOCKING ON DOOR

- Come in.

- You OK to do this? Because I'd be
happy to.

Just wanted you to know that I spoke
to the council.

I've got your back.

- Please, sit.

Good morning, everyone.

This was to be the last day of term,

but there will be no classes today.

We are here to remember Mr Clarkson,

who died yesterday.

Teaching was never a job for him, it
was a calling.

A calling that drove him to put
everything, every fibre,

on the line for you every day.

And that is how he died.

Risking his life to save a pupil.

Doing the job he loved.

Mr Clarkson believed in each and every
one of you.

He always fought your corner, went
that extra mile for you all.

I guarantee as long as there's a
school called Waterloo Road,

Tom Clarkson will never be forgotten.

Now it's up to you to keep his spirit
alive.

I ask you to honour him and what he
stood for.

You work hard,

look out for each other...

..and be the very best you can be.
