All language subtitles for Ackley Bridge s02e08.eng

I can't do this. I can't live like this.

- I'm going to make it really easy for you.
- You just going to walk out, are you?

Oi! I paid good money for them.

You were robbed. Now move it along!

That's not exactly the
welcome we had planned for you.

- I just wanted a smoke!
- If you love us,

you will leave us alone.

I'm moving in.

- I'm in love with you.
- It was a one-night stand.

- You and Riz?
- You devious little cow!

_

Sit down. Sit down.

Good morning, Year 11.

Today we are going to talk about exams.

La! La! La! La! I'm not listening.

They don't want to talk about exams

but we need to get them to buckle
down and start revising, now!

- How are we going to do that?
- As of this week,

your school day will no
longer end at 3 o'clock.

You will now go to Period 7...

study skills until 4 o'clock.

Well, good luck with that.

They'll just go home as usual.

Not if Mr Simpson does his job properly.

Gate patrol.

LAUGHTER

Oh, and I've cancelled the prom.

What?!

I know. I know it's a disappointment,

but you have to
understand that sometimes,

in order to succeed in life,
you have to make sacrifices.

It's not fair. I've already
bought my prom dress.

And Grandpa said he'll babysit.

I'm sorry, Candice.
It's out of my hands.

I'm not sure that went at all well.

It went exactly as I expected.

Mayday! Assistance required.

This is not a drill.

He just wandered in. You
should see the state of him.

I'll break the door down.

You're in the NUT, not the SAS, Mr Shah.

Lorraine?

I was a Girl Guide! Always prepared.

Get off me! I'm not one of your sort!

- Gays! Hey!
- That's enough! That's enough! I'll deal with this.

- Are you sure?
- Yes! I'll deal with it.

Well!

Look who it is!

All right, Dad?

- Synced and corrected by chamallow -
- www.addic7ed.com -

All right, Nathan?

Morning, Ray.

Home, sweet home.

He's in the toilet.

Erm...

... how are you?

Yeah, I'm fine.

And Steve?

Let's not do this, Mum.

We said all that needed
to be said last time.

When he sobers up, tell him if
he ever comes to my school again,

I'm calling the police. He
hadn't had a drink in months.

He's got dementia.

This is him on a good day.

He's getting worse.

He wanders.

He don't realise where he is,

what he's saying. He
makes people so angry

- and HE gets...
- FLUSHING

- ... and he gets so angry.
- That's not dementia, Mum...

... that's just Dad!

You're still making excuses for him.

I need a...

... I need a break.

To sort things out.

Two weeks, that's all.

Mandy, if you don't help me, I swear...

I offered to help you
five years ago, Mum.

You made your choice then.

He stopped looking after the pigeons.

I got a call from
Jonny at the allotments.

He hadn't been paying his subs.

Mandy?

- Racist alert.
- What?

Oh, she totally still fancies you.

Yeah, well, that's
her problem, not mine.

Yeah, sign this.

Save the prom.

Ah!

I weren't even sure I were going.

I mean it all seems a
bit babyish, to be honest.

Now that me and Aaron are co-habiting.

Oh, give it here!

You're supposed to be
getting some vitamin D.

What's going on under there?

Nothing, Miss.

Razia!

I used some skin bleach
and it went wrong.

Hee-hee! Shamone!

Razia!

I know, isolation! I'm going!

She got a skin bleach off
the market. I did tell her.

Are you all right?

Look, Raz,

you might not be my mate any more,

- but I'll always be yours.
- Sh!

Why did you do it?

Riz.

He didn't want a brown
girlfriend, did he?

There's a sandwich in the
fridge for your lunch...

... and the remote's just there.

I've left my num...

I've left my number by the
phone, in case you need me.

I should be back just before six.

So, erm...

... have a nice day, I suppose.

Thanks.

PHONE RINGS

_

Hi.

So?

What is it? I'm at...
I'm at work. What is it?

Whatever it is you need...

I can't...

Can you get rid of
that for me, Lorraine?

She's not been coping since
Steve left. Not at all.

I thought she chucked him out?

Have you spoke to him?

What did he say?

- SMOKE ALARM BEEPS
- Oh, for God's sake, Dad!

What you playing at?

You could burn the house down.

I told you. I left you
a sandwich in the fridge.

Oh! I were watching that.

- I said I were watching that.
- Yeah, I heard you the first time.

Don't you turn your back on me.

I'm not, Dad. I'm just trying...

Always have to have the
last word, don't you, eh?

How many times do I have to tell
you about that mouth of yours?

When you're under my roof,
you do as I say, all right?

Back into school. Your day is not over.

It's Period 7. Oi!

Get back here!

- See you later!
- See you later, mate!

What?

Did you always want to be a
traffic cone when you grew up, sir?

You think you're funny?

Let's still see if you're
laughing in detention.

I can't!

It's Comedy Night at
the community centre.

I'm on first. I need to get ready.

Oh, so you DO think you're funny?

Come on, please, sir.

Go on.

SHE LAUGHS

At least have the decency to laugh
behind my back like everyone else.

Not everyone!

I'm sorry.

What can I do to cheer you up?

Nowt.

Well, we could go to his
comedy night and heckle?

Yeah, all right.

I'll meet you there.

Cool then. I'll catch you.

Yeah.

Whoa, mate! Whoa!

Nice try!

It's only for another week. It's fine.

No, it's not.

You're camping out in your
car, you're struggling at work

and I've been here 20 minutes,
you've not gone near a corkscrew.

It's a screw top.

I'm not saying you can't cope. I just...

I just think with everything else...

Where's yours?

- I'm not in the mood.
- Since when?

Congratulations.

It couldn't have come at a worst time.

This is not for discussion
in the staffroom,

or anywhere in
Lorraine's earshot, right?

Course not.

How are you feeling?

Tired mainly.

Get used to that.

HE BLOWS HIS NOSE

Having him here won't help.

Damn, I'm going to be late.

- Do you mind if I take that bottle?
- No.

- You're not going to drink it.
- No.

- See you.
- See you.

SMATTERING OF APPLAUSE

Er...

- ... good evening...
- MICROPHONE FEEDS BACK

Come on! Get on with it.

Er, I'm Naveed.

I'm still at school.

You know it's, it's not a
rough school or owt, but, erm...

... yesterday our English teacher
asked us what comes after a sentence.

And this one kid stuck
his hand up and said...

... "The appeal!"

And, er, and then bell went off.

Only it wasn't the bell, were it?

It were his tag.

But you know it's not
just our school, is it?

It's the whole town.

Ever wondered why birds
fly upside down round here?

There's nowt worth
crapping on, is there?

I mean let's face it, the best
thing to come out of Ackley...

... is the A58, ain't it?

Straight out of here!

APPLAUSE

HE CLEARS THROAT

So, what do you think?

Pretty good.

Funnier than some of the stuff on telly.

So, what's next?

Another gig? A world tour?

I've got me A-levels first, sir.

Right answer!

Although there is a course
in Liverpool I've looking at.

Performing Arts.

Are you going to go for it?

My mum and dad want
me to do biochemistry.

- But do they know you're doing this?
- God, no.

- They'd go spare.
- But you don't know that.

Yeah.

I do.

Now, ladies and gents,

it's time for our next act.

You're brilliant, you, aren't you?

GIRLS START TO LAUGH

Right, what have you done?

It's the latest thing.

- What do you think?
- Er, I think you're daft in the head.

Well, I think you're a racist.

Oh for God's sake? What now?

How can it be racist?

- I'm showing everyone that brown is beautiful.
- Are you, though?

- Are you really?
- All right. All right.

Out of the way.

Oh, Hayley!

Miss, it's not what you think.

She were just trying to
be a good mate, that's all.

Miss Carter's office, now!

Hang on. Isn't Razia a racist an' all?

No, she's an idiot.

She's just trying to live up
to Western standards of beauty.

In many ways that makes
her a victim of racism.

OK. OK. So it's one rule
for you and one rule for us?

Who even asked you? Leave it.

All right, Razia, come with me.

Everyone else straight
to registration. Now!

Come on. Wait in there.

I know what it looks like, but she's
not got a racist bone in her body.

It's her face that I'm worried about.

Well, just be aware she's
had a rough trot this year.

So, tread lightly, yeah?

- I were making a point.
- That brown is beautiful.

Which indeed it is.

So I don't see what the problem is.

Well, it's not so much
the sentiment, Hayley.

It's more how you've
chosen to express it.

I think maybe we should,
er, call your mum.

No, you can't!

She's... she's not at home.

Why's this the first
I've heard about that?

It's OK, you can call Aaron.

He lives with us now.

Why don't I deal with this?
Take your call. Come on.

- You have a visitor.
- Well, tell them to wait.

It's your mum.

Oh.

Oh.

Yeah.

Year 7.

We asked them to paint a picture

of what they'd most like to see
outside their bedroom windows.

We're trying to get them to
think beyond Ackley Bridge.

I know which one you would
have painted at that age.

You used to love that week in Filey.

Come a long way since then.
Good job, lovely fella.

Why are you here, Mum?

I...

... I can't do it.

I can't have him back
in the house. He's...

he's going have to stay at yours.

Come through.

Two weeks. That all you said you needed.

I know and I'm sorry,

but when I think about
him coming back...

You've seen what he's like.

I always knew what he was like.

It's you that's been pretending
he was somebody different.

I didn't realise how
hard everything had got.

I thought it were all my fault
for being stupid and useless

and always making him angry.

You're right.

You're right. I should've come with you.

I should have packed my
bag and got in your car.

But you didn't, Mum.

You chose him.

It wasn't like that.

Five years. Five years without a word

and you only turn up, what,
now you want something?

You'd got out.

If you'd have had me to think
about, you wouldn't have all this.

School. House. Husband.

Yeah, well,

this school is failing,

erm, the house is mortgaged to the hilt

and I chucked Steve out two weeks ago.

And I'm pregnant too. So, yeah...

I don't know if I want to keep it.

I am doing really well.

Excuse me.

Hiya, erm, I'm here about Hayley Booth.

They said there was an
emergency or something

but they wouldn't tell me
what it was about. Is she OK?

Keep your hair on. She's fine.

Excuse me. You need to sign in.

So why am I getting
calls from your school?

All you have to do is tell Mr
Shah that Hayley's not a racist.

- What?
- Just say she's learnt a valuable lesson

and you'll make sure
she never does it again.

That way we don't have the
social workers sniffing around.

This isn't my first rodeo.

It's just life with the
Booth Sisters, innit?

Mr Turner?

Hiya.

Look, she's not a racist.

That's ridiculous. I mean
her best friend is a...

Well, I mean, I am.

Kind of... Well, I'm
not, I'm half, but...

... there you go.

Why hasn't she washed her face yet?

Well, you know, it's just
daft kids' stuff, innit?

If you can't handle that, then...

... I don't know, maybe
you're in the wrong job.

This is why I would have preferred
to speak to Hayley's mother,

not her sister's boyfriend.

Yeah, well, that's not
an option, mate, is it?

Looks like you're stuck with me.

Look, let's just say that
she's learnt a valuable lesson

and... she won't do it again.

Yeah? Cool.

Are we done?

Sorted.

See? Just a misunderstanding.

I'm not sure I agree.

This kind of behaviour isn't on.

And in the absence of your mother,

I've no choice but to
speak to social services.

- But, sir...
- Hayley,

you'll be spending the rest
of the day in isolation.

Off you go!

Nice one.

What did you say?

What you told me to.

Well, you must have got it wrong.

Well, then maybe you shouldn't
have dropped me in it?

This is not what
boyfriends do, all right?

And I'll...

I'll take him home tonight.

- No, Mum, you can't.
- I'll manage.

Thank you.

You need to get back to your own life.

No, Mum, I'm not going to let
him carry on ruining your life.

- Not now that you've finally...
- Finally come to my senses?

It's too late, Mandy.

I've made me bed.

No! Neither of us have to
put up with him. We'll...

we'll put him in a home.

I looked into it. I don't
have that kind of money.

Well, what sort of money?

You just told me that you were in debt.

Everyone's in debt, Mum.

Your dad doesn't
deserve a penny from you.

I wouldn't be doing it for him.

Oh!

It was always me big plan.

Ever since I was in school.

Just go to uni, get
a good job and then...

... go rescue me mum from me crappy dad.

And when the big day came,
I waited outside in the car,

until me dad had gone to the pub.

And I just walked into me mum's flat

and told her to pack her bags.

How did that go down?

She was too scared.

I get that now.

- But you didn't back then?
- No.

No, I was so angry. I mean...

... 20-odd years he'd
knocked her around,

called her every name under the sun,

and I was offering her a way out, so...

... I gave her a choice.

I told her I couldn't be around
him any more, which was true,

and that as long as she
wanted to be with him,

I didn't want to see or hear from her.

And then I just walked out.

She made the right choice in the end.

It just took her five
years to get there.

Right, Dad, I'm off...

Dad!

Dad!

Dad, I've got to go to
work. You can't stay in here.

Mm, you're my little beauty, aren't you?

The care worker's coming again
this afternoon. Do you remember?

Oh. Mm.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Oh, don't be frightened.
Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

See you later. Daddy see you later.

Put some trousers on.

Don't you get too comfortable.
You're days are numbered an' all.

_

Neil Sykes and Clint Northwood.

I'll see you in me office.

Oh, excuse me.

I need to know who was playing
on table five yesterday.

Stop! Go back.

Stop.

Oi! Hey, what are you doing?

INDISTINCT COMPLAINING

It's your home help.

- Jordan.
- I aren't doing owt wrong.

Yes, you are! You are taking
advantage of a vulnerable old man.

Ray? Whatever! I aren't
taking advantage of anyone.

Oh, right. So, you just took it
upon yourself to become a home help

and you're getting
nothing in return, yeah?

They give me change, for
when I've been to the shop.

Then sometimes let me sleep
on their couch a few nights.

Home helps don't stay
for breakfast, Jordan.

Look, I don't ask for any of it.

I'm all right with a
cup of tea and biscuits.

Right? So, they take Jammie Dodgers

- down the snooker hall these days?
- Look he just...

He wanted to go out somewhere.

He's just tired of being
stuck in front of TV all day.

And he told you that, did he?

Yeah, he did. He's quite
chatty once he gets going.

Tell him I said ta-ra.

He's been faking it, Mum?

You said he'd been like this for months.

It were hard to tell
the difference at first.

- But he got worse.
- Well, did you take him to the doctors,

- get him checked out?
- He hates doctors.

- If I even suggest...
- Oh, Mum!

It never even crossed my mind
that he were taking the mick.

- I mean, why would he do this?
- Cos it's what he does, isn't it?

Make people's lives a misery.

You must think I'm so stupid.

If you're stupid, then I'm an idiot.

- What are you going to do?
- I should go to the police.

You're right.

- And I'll own up to my part in it all.
- SHE SIGHS

Mum, you've done nothing wrong.

Haven't I?

I were the one that
took him to the school

and talked you into taking him in.

- I deserve everything that's coming to me.
- Right, calm down.

Mum...

I don't even know what they'd
charge him with, anyway.

We'll deal with this ourselves, yeah?

We'll do it together.

Thanks, love. Thank you.

Right so, thank you, everyone,
for joining me this afternoon.

Er, I won't take up a lot of your time.

But I do have one or two things,
that I would like to raise,

before you go off and do your marking.

So, I'll be brief. And...

I thought we could get some feedback

about how the extra study
skills sessions are working.

SOFT MURMURING

Er... er, right.

Erm... (SHE CLEARS THROAT)

Well, look, I know it's been a
bit of a slow start, hasn't it?

Mandy...

I know I'm always banging
on about smaller class sizes,

but it's getting ridiculous, even
with Will on the school gates.

I'm trying my best.

It is quite dispiriting,
teaching the kids who

can't outwit a physical
education teacher.

None taken.

I think you're on the right track.

Extra teaching hours is the
way to go. But focused teaching,

you know, targeting kids who need it.

Now I could come up
with an alternative plan

for the year elevens.
Then, if we all agree,

- we...
- Erm, hang on a minute. Hang on.

I'm a big fan of democracy, but
that's not what this school is.

I am still the head teacher:
I set the educational policy.

Yeah, but if you're not around
to see that policy in action... ?

Now, I appreciate that things
at home are difficult...

Absences can't always be avoided.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

No boy is worth this.

Same with the yoyo diets, and the...

and the silly shoes that hurt the
feet that you read in a magazine.

That's just one idea of beautiful.

Huh?

DOOR OPENS AND SLAMS

Missy's got a right face on.

Apparently, I've messed
everything up cos I'm a racist.

- I wasn't even being racist.
- Oh, Hayley, come here. Sit down.

I don't even know what I've done!

You're too young to remember, but...

... people used to be funny
buggers about us on the TV.

- Painting their face. Wobbly head...
- I never even...

I know! I know!

And it's not on the TV any more.

That's good.

But it doesn't mean people
are not funny buggers still.

They're just sneaky about it now.

We don't want to be
the joke any more, Beta.

I'm sorry.

You say that to Mr Shah.

It'll all be OK.

VOICE MAIL: Aaron's
phone. Leave a message.

I missed you last night, babe.

Er, did you stay at your mates?

Anyway, er...

... I don't want to be a nag, but...

... we've got that meeting
with the social worker tomorrow.

They'll take Hayley away if we
don't have an adult in the house.

We need you.

INDISTINCT CHATTERING

I might have done something daft.

- Like what?
- I invited Naveed's dad.

Good evening, good
evening, good evening.

Well, you seem like a nice crowd.

You know, you never know. I've erm...

I've had a few rough gigs
recently. I'm not going to...

Erm...

Did a funeral last week.

Doesn't get much tougher than that.

People actually heckled.

"Get away from grandad's coffin!

We've called the police.So
disrespectful." LAUGHTER

Miserable bunch, I tell yer.

Thank you, thank you, Mr Simpson.

That's one of my teachers
there. Well, he's a...

- he's a PE teacher.
- LAUGHTER

No. Teaching PE

is for those who want to be a teacher,

but don't actually want to
do any of the boring reading.

In't that right, sir? In't that right?

Hey, don't worry. Your
secret's safe with us.

Secret's safe with us...

... and everyone else who's
ever been to school before.

Not sure, but his dad is coming over.

Oh.

HE CLEARS THROAT

What did you think?

I think the joke's on me.

I'm not sure I understand.

Naveed told his mother and me

that he was in the
library studying tonight.

I said I was sorry about that.

If it wasn't for your teacher,
I would never have known.

- Thank you, Mr Simpson.
- Yeah,

- thanks.
- I wa...

I wasn't trying to
get Naveed in trouble.

I really think he's got talent.

And I thought it would be a
good chance for you to come

and see him for yourself.

You think I don't know my son is funny?

At home we laugh all the time.

Then maybe Naveed should pursue
his talent professionally?

Ooh!

Interesting idea.

And maybe I could help him.

I could find... a nice cardboard box

for him to sleep in on the streets

because he doesn't have a proper job!

See?

I'm funny, too.

All right. Time to go.

You must have had an idea it was
probably going to go like that.

I knew it was a long shot.

Then why'd you bother?

Cos...

... I want to be a good teacher...

... more than just a
traffic cone in trainers.

At least you got a good
laugh out of it though, so...

... it wasn't a complete waste of time.

See you tomorrow.

Have you had your tea yet?

Oh, I'm just going to
get chips on the way home.

Unless...

... you want to get pizza, or... ?

- Yeah. Pizza's good.
- Yeah?

Great. Yeah.

Great.

Think he wants some more?

Er... I don't know.

Yeah.

He won't get food like
this when he's in the home.

Won't he?

I don't know what they were
cooking when I went to look round

but it smelt like bleached cabbage.

And even that didn't
cover up the other smell.

I think some of them had been
left to sit in the their own...

... y'know...

Still.

Get what you pay for, don't yer?

It was the cheapest one I could find.

I mean, there's no point
in wasting money on someone

who doesn't even know what
planet he's on. Is there?

Oh, and I worked out what
to do with the pigeons.

Did you, love?

Taste great, don't they?

You little cow.

- My pigeons!
- He's going to be so angry.

It's all right, Mum. I
won't let him hurt you.

What have you done?

Oh...

You scheming little bitch!

How long did you think you
could keep it up for, Dad?

- Long enough.
- Really, and what?

What were you hoping to
achieve from all of this?

I wanted her to realise that
we're better off without you.

Yeah. Every birthday, every Christmas...

having to look at her with a
face like a slapped backside,

"Cos we haven't had a card from you!"

Well, I'd had enough.

I knew she'd call you
if I gave her an excuse.

Then it were only a matter of time
before you'd turn her against me.

I knew you'd end up getting
her to stick me in a home.

Now do you understand?

- I... I do.
- Yeah.

So... Thanks for everything.

We'll be on our way! Say your goodbyes.

No.

Don't make me have to tell you again.

You'll never have to tell
me anything again, Raymond.

You think you've shown our Mandy up?

You're the only one
that's been shown up.

I can see you.

Finally.

You heard her.

Is that the best you can do?

Oh, God, what have I done?

It's all right, Mum.
He's going. He's going.

I've got nowhere to live.
The flat's in his name.

We'll... we'll, we'll
find you somewhere else.

How will I pay the rent?
Everything goes into his account.

We'll... we'll get you
your own account, yeah?

With the money I was going to
spend on putting him in a home.

That's yours now.

- No, love!
- Yes. Yes, Mum,

that money was always for you.

So, you could have your own life...

... and your own home.

Maybe now it could be
somewhere a bit closer?

Oh, love.

SHE SOBS

It's all right.

It's all right.

Your extra classes
are a disaster, Mandy.

And unless we do summat,
the Year 11 exam results

- are going to be a disaster.
- We are doing something.

We're, we're doing everything we can.

What? Cracking down
on uniform violations?

Pulling kids out of non-core?

They're just gestures. The
time for those has passed.

We need extreme measures.

I'm not sure "extreme"
is a helpful phrase.

I've drawn up a list of all the pupils

I think would benefit most
from focused resources.

Those kids did OK in their
marks. At least five good passes.

And, perhaps, with a bit more attention,

they could be doing even better.

I thought we were here to
discuss the kids that are failing.

You mean the pupils that have been
failing their entire school careers?

We can't turn that
around in a few weeks.

So, we just give up on them?

Sorry, maybe I misunderstood,

but didn't you bring me in here
to improve results and admissions,

not to make same old excuses?

My pupils will not experience
indifference from me

or any other member of my staff.

I don't care if it's their
first or their last day here.

- We never give up.
- And that's a great Facebook status,

but it's no way to run a school.

Look, there is no point
in teaching lost causes.

Well, we haven't got any.

Hayley Booth!

- You have no idea what she's been through.
- Junkie mum?

Yeah, I've read the file.

So, I also know about her attendance
problems, lack of discipline

and how she's lagging
behind in every subject.

Look, kids like her don't need to
be told they can overcome the odds

and go to university on
the back of a unicorn.

What they need is a reality check.

I will not teach our kids
to lower their expectations.

Then you have to accept that you
might be doing more harm than good.

Find out when he's meeting
Hayley's social worker.

- I want you there too.
- Yeah.

See you tomorrow.

And I thought she was joking when
she said about the old ladies.

Going to grass me up t'police, then?

No, but this has got to stop, Jordan.

You make it sound
like I've got a choice.

You have.

Just listen.

I've spoken to social services,

and they've finally agreed to
place you in emergency foster care.

I'd rather just look after myself.

I don't believe you. I don't believe
you are happy out here on your own

out here, without... without your
friends, without your brother.

I think you're bored and...

... scared and miserable.

And I think if you don't
get in this bloody car now,

you're going to kick yourself.

And if he doesn't, I will.

I'm getting in t'front.

DOOR CLOSES, FOOTSTEPS

Mum?

Are you ready to go?

Mum?

We're going to be late!

Let me guess. Next stop, sunny Filey?

Where else?

Never did understand why you
dragged us there every year,

so we could pretend
to be a happy family.

Ungrateful little cow. My
dad never took me anywhere.

I scrimped and saved
to take you on holiday.

No, you didn't! Mum did.

You never put your hand in your pocket.

Where is she, Dad?

If you've hurt her...

Well,

she paid for this little
beauty, didn't you, my love?

What? So all that... all that stuff
about wanting to get away from him?

- Wanting to be my mum?
- Maybe if you'd have acted

more like a daughter
over the last few years.

Even before that, you were
always trying to come between us.

Aye. As if her marriage was
anything to write home about.

Yeah! Never wondered why you
drive everyone away, Mandy?

So, you did all this for the money?

I don't think a bit of comfort in
our old age were too much to ask.

- But you didn't ask, did you?
- I didn't have to!

You loved it, playing the martyr.

Couldn't wait to hand over the money

so that you could feel
better than us. Well,

you're what we made you.

Maybe we deserve something
to say thank you for that?

And this is what do you
think you deserve, is it, Mum?

A crapped-out camper van and spending
the rest of your life with him?

Well, I hope it makes you happy, Mum.

I really do.

Come on.

I don't remember asking
you to join us, Miss Keane.

The girls need someone in their corner.

I'm not sure that's
entirely appropriate.

I'm not sure I care.

Sorry I'm late.

Shall we do this?

- OK.
- Thank you.

I got your text. What's so important?

I'm pregnant.

And I'm keeping it.

What?

- Yeah.
- I thought...

No. I mean, that doesn't
mean, obviously, you and me.

No, no. Man... Mandy, listen, I know
things have got really screwed up,

but we've been here before, haven't we?

- We've been here before.
- Yeah, but isn't that the problem?

Yeah, but I'm trying to
say we can sort it out.

- We can.
- And what? And then what?

What, we just do it all again? I mean...

No.

Steve, I've seen what it's
like for people who are...

... who are trapped
in a crappy marriages

and how much they hurt each other

and then they hurt
everyone else around them.

And I... I don't...

Let's just not do it any more.

I, erm...

I want to be part of my child's life.

Yeah, erm, that's why
I wanted to see you,

cos I want you to be, as
well, and, so, we will...

... we will talk about that.
We'll sort it out like adults.

I promise we will.

Right.

SHE SOBS

Is that one better?

You see this face? I love this face.

You hear me? Hmm?

- KNOCK ON GLASS
- Oh!

THEY SQUEAL

- He was brilliant.
- Not really.

Yay!

Thank you. Thank you.

_

- Ready?
- Yeah.

Is this cos of my petition? Innit?

Well, you've made me see

that the prom's quite
important to some of you.

It's the most important
night of the year.

Prove it. Cos the only way
to get a ticket to this prom

is with 100% attendance in Period Seven.

Deal?

ALL: Deal!

Carrot, stick. I know these kids, Javid.

I know what works.

Year 11s, back in, please. Two
by two, thank you very much!

Back into the school, Year 11s.
