That I can help.

You can come with me to your mum's office.

We need to tell her what's gone on.

Well, why are you leaving?

We need to talk about this when we get back.

Me and you is never going to happen. And that's not because I'm scared of your

mum. I think that she's amazing, everything that she's been through. I

make a really good team.

Yeah. And what are the doctors saying?

Alzheimer's, he reckons, early onset.

Mum!

What are we going to do if she won't make it?

Between him and you, I'm going to call you Sherlock.

So you didn't see a thing, Lauren?

Told you already.

There's a Year 7 kid at the gates with his shoes in a tree. And his description

of the person that put them there sounds very much like you.

Well, um, no, cos, right, um, I was in school early this morning cos I had

homework to finish.

I've been here since 20 to 8, actually, so I think you've had your eyes wiped,

sir. Oh, right.

I see.

So this... ..isn't you. One, two, three, four!

Oh, my God, that is, like, so against our human rights.

Lunchtime detention.

Out.

what was this I said at the start of term something about creating an

of mutual trust yeah but three break -ins in a week Karen I'm confident that

this could make a difference

Day one in the Big Brother school, and Jess and Jonah are making the rest of

housemates want to vomit.

How out of order is this?

Yeah, only because all the teachers are going to see your little money -making

scanty giant pull now.

Oh, he's right.

He wants teachers knowing what we're doing every minute of the day.

Well, try asking the ones who get bullied.

Bullying's not going to stop just because of a few cameras.

Who cares anyway? I mean, it's not going to stop me doing the things I want to

do, just because people are watching.

Ew.

Even if it is my mum.

Hey, I don't know how you can tongue anyone who's going to grow up to be like

Mrs Fisher.

Shut up, mate.

Since when did these two get so loved up?

So, how are you then?

How's things in the new place?

Yeah, they're good.

Mr Mead did a good thing getting me in there.

Oh, come on, I went all the dirt. You and Joe know what's happening?

Nothing. Oh, nothing? That's why you've got a big massive grin all over your

face. I just really like him, OK?

What, you mean it's going to last more than a week?

Seriously, mate.

I'm really falling for him.

Oh, my God. Oh, no.

She's in the crash today.

I mean, they don't normally take them in the same time, right?

She's so cute.

Do you know, I miss her so much, even though it's just for a few hours.

It's a good one.

Janice.

Why don't you just ask her for your baby back?

I might not be your teacher anymore, but I'm not just going to stand back and

watch you mess up your life.

Even if I did, which I'm not saying I'd do, how can I when Ruby's so happy?

How can you not when you're so unhappy?

I'm not.

Look, I gave them the baby.

They looked after me.

There's nothing written down here. It's not legal.

Morning, everyone.

I'm going to hand you straight over to Chris.

He's going to talk to you about the new CCTV system.

Right. Well, I'm sure all of you have seen the cameras going up this morning.

It's a real state -of -the -art system, audio as well as visuals, and it's

already generating results.

How's the new FlexiTime working out for you then, Grantley?

Now, I know some of you have concerns.

Especially about the cost. But I think the potential impact on bullying,

vandalism and truancy means it'll be well worth it.

Yes, but, um, Chris, um, you forgot to mention that the cameras would be in the

classroom. What?

That's right. There have been a few changes to the original plan that I need

discuss with you. In classrooms? Hang on. Not through lessons, though. The

idea... is that it'll be an extra teaching tool.

What? It's about transparency and honesty.

It's been tried and tested in other schools. We've proven benefits.

So, basically, we're having a permanent Ofsted, is what you're saying? Hardly,

Chesca. Do you know what? I've been a teacher for ten years. I've already

developed eyes in the back of my head, thank you very much. This isn't just

about discipline.

It's about the educational benefits as well. You can spin it any which way you

like. It's clearly there to police staff.

I can't believe you'd bring this in without proper consultation.

Obviously...

Obviously there's going to be concerns, but it is only a trial, so please give

it a go.

Well, it will, I thought.

OK, everyone.

A word of warning before we get started.

Mrs Fisher and Mrs Mead are in the room. In mind, if not in body.

Do you want this?

Is that on now?

Oh, my God, are we being filmed?

Yes, and you might not like it any more than I do, but if we just ignore the

camera, maybe we can show them how unnecessary it all is.

Come on, Fisher.

Save your son.

Sir,

it's making me get self -conscious. I don't want to write anything in case I

look stupid.

You don't have to write anything for that.

Sir, he's bad enough he's been on his nap three times, and now you're taking a

record of what you're doing here as well?

What's up with you?

You're not exactly going to be discussing state secrets, are you?

It's like having Mrs Fisher in the room the whole time.

Welcome to my world. The cameras are there for protection.

For everyone.

Protection from what?

I don't think that's a big problem at this school, Ronan. Well,

are the cameras in the staff room?

They've been to all your private conversations.

They're not in the staff room, no.

Big surprise.

Yeah, I was up there. Listen, if you want to see teachers arguing about

money, then just let me know, and I'll bore you rigid with a blow -by -blow

account. Now, Ronan.

Dad, are these things there to stay or what?

They're staying trial period, but I doubt some people will be giving up

new toys.

I feel like you've done something wrong before you've done it.

Yeah, like when you can't go in the news, you just put them in two at a time

case you love to sweep.

You usually do, though.

That's not the point.

It's about certain people at the top feeling very insecure.

Which we didn't hear from you. Right.

Listen, do you have any clues this morning?

Yeah, why?

I'm going to organise a meeting lunchtime. Staff and pupils.

Cool.

Could you get a PowerPoint presentation together for me? CCTV stats, that sort

of thing.

I suppose.

I haven't changed anything, have I?

Inspiring words, son.

Spoken just like Martin Luther King.

What's he on about?

He means don't lie down and say the crap.

So what have you got in mind?

What?

He's left his own work in the back of my dad's car and my dad can't find his

key. And he said that it'd be in his jacket, which is in here. You be quick.

Thanks, Miss.

You don't know her letter, do you? No, my coats are hanging up on the coat

stand.

Um, is it this one?

No, that's Mr Clarkson's coat. You don't know your own father's jacket?

Oh.

Sorry,

miss.

Oh,

his coat isn't even here.

Are you sure he's in the staff room?

Yeah.

What are you gawping at?

Nothing, miss.

Just looked interesting.

Bus duty rotor 2005 to 2006.

Get out.

And Martin Luther King did this?

No. This is a little surprise, my dad's meeting.

See, we'll get a few clips of the teachers saying something rude or

embarrassing, edit them together, and we could charge people to watch.

50p a go, I reckon. We could well rake it in. When my dad asks us to run a

presentation, this is what we show.

See how they like being spied on.

Mate, I see enough for teachers being boring as it is.

Do you want a can? Yeah, go on then.

Cheers.

Hi,

can I leave these here?

Yeah. I'll take them.

I wrote the pods for me, aren't they? Last life's anxiety or romance is a

putty in a footy mat.

Sir, I just got a message to come and see you. Yes, Vicky.

Got the results from your retake.

Well, the real one's this time.

Keep it down, yeah?

Sorry. Come on, then it's that thing.

I just don't get your hopes up, yeah?

Here we go.

Oh, my God, I got a V.

Oh, this is amazing. Thanks, sir.

Oh, you did it all by yourself?

After what I nearly did to you as well.

Yeah, well... You didn't, so... Look, I just want you to know,

you can trust me.

I'll never tell anyone about you and Jess.

You shouldn't get spat just because you're spat with her.

Hey, babe, where you been?

You're a liar and a cheat.

What?

Jonah?

Jonah, what's wrong?

Jonah, what did you just call me?

Oi! Me!

Jonah, what's wrong? What are you doing? I know!

You get into my office.

I'll get Marcus.

That was brilliant, man.

Yeah. Totally worth getting excluded over.

You all right?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. What's that about?

I don't know.

What, Jonah Kirby just attacked you? Must have been about something, Chris.

I've no idea.

My heart is like a tick -tock puzzle.

Pick it up and fix it for me.

Can you figure it out, figure it out?

Vicky, you told him, didn't you?

No, I said I wouldn't.

Did you?

Why would I do that? Then how did he find out? I don't know.

But I don't want everyone else finding out either.

I don't want to lose him over one night with you.

Okay, okay.

Let's just... Let's just calm down.

Well, what if mum rings the police?

She won't.

Not once she knows why he did it.

Well, you can't tell her that. People are going to find out. So I'll speak to

Jonah. I'll ask you not to say anything. No way.

But it's all so stupid. I mean, it happened so long ago.

It's the only way.

I don't know, Jess.

He'll keep quiet if I ask him, and no, he will.

Honestly, every class I've had today, they've either played up to CCTV or

you can't say that, miss, it's on camera. It's totally disruptive.

People need to hear that at the meeting. Well, I'll make sure I'm there.

Marcus, Karen needs to see you, mate. Can it wait?

It's Jonah.

Yeah? Look, I'd better tell you before you get there. He attacked Chris Mead.

What? Yeah.

Jonah hit Chris?

No, I don't get it either.

He's normally a good lad.

What, did Chris do anything to him?

I can see how he's delighted.

Oh, well, that'll be a chance for you to see if his camera's worse.

Oh, bloody stupid mug.

Anything the matter today?

Nothing.

Just a shadow of your normal, unpleasant self. Perhaps I don't want every word I

say being filmed as potential evidence for the prosecution.

As Fleur?

What big sister has to realise is that by watching us every minute of every day

is not going to make her feel any less guilty that she didn't watch her own

daughter more closely.

Bradley. Well?

Go on, tell me.

Fleur hit me.

With a horse racing book.

Oh, Bradley, what are you going to do?

What can I do?

Is that the best 50p you've ever spent or what?

Why would you want to watch the teachers in private? It's creepy.

They're doing the same to us. No, they're just trying to make sure that

need doesn't get stolen.

And that people don't go around taking our dinner money off us. No one wants

CCTV.

Unless it's you getting beaten up, followed, robbed.

Or if a terrorist bomb goes off and you can find out who did it because you got

a video of him. God, how do you not get your dinner money taken off you every

single day?

I'll give you two quid, but you're not showing my dad saying anything

embarrassing.

Here, thanks.

Thank you. I'm not saying anything embarrassing.

Here, thanks.

That you haven't told me about.

I'm not going to tell anyone.

Go on.

She wandered out and nearly got hit by a car.

Was she hurt?

Did more damage with the book.

She's been to hospital, right?

She didn't even know it was me that she was hitting.

Perhaps if she had, she'd have hit harder, eh?

You're not taking her to hospital because you think they're going to keep

in, aren't you?

Or they'll put her in a home. No, she is not going in a home. And what is going

to stop her from walking out into traffic next time? Because you're not

the day. I am there for her and I always will be. We're fine. Thank you.

You need help.

I don't know what you think happened. You jumped in bed with the guy.

You're not denying it, are you?

It happened before I even knew you, and it finished ages ago. I didn't know he

was a teacher, Jonah, and he didn't know I was a pupil.

Please don't tell my mum.

She's got enough going on with the divorce and stuff, and Chris will... Mr

will lose his job, and he doesn't deserve that.

Do I look like a cat?

And for me?

It's all over and done.

Yeah.

Got any feelings for the guy?

No, I promise.

In.

What's it about?

How would I know?

Because you're usually involved.

That is so typical.

You think everything's my fault.

No, I'm not saying that, Jess. You didn't need to, Mum.

Are you there?

Breakfast?

Cold meat pizza.

What?

You know, I say to them, can you come up with a meal plan of a healthy nutrition

week? And I get breakfast, cold meat pizza.

That's from...

Two of them.

I was just... Lunch.

Crisps and gravy.

I want my baby.

I think somebody put dog food down here somewhere, but I reckon that could wind

up.

I want my baby.

You know, you can come and see her any time you like.

Janice, you know that.

I don't just mean for five minutes.

Look, I've made a mistake. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I've messed you about.

I just want Cheryl back.

Think about what you've done. I've thought. I've done nothing but think she

her. Look, I didn't think I was ready, but I am. I knew I was ready from the

second I seen her. I should have told you then. I just didn't know how.

I didn't blame you for having a little wobble. But you have made your decision.

And it might not seem to you like I've had her long, but I love her. Like she's

my own. Already, I do.

Look, I'm embarrassed. I mean, you and John Hughes have been so nice, but that

makes it worse. I just can't help it.

She's going to have.

Such a happy life, isn't it? And she would with me.

You've always said you couldn't even look after yourself properly. Yeah,

How are you going to manage?

I'd find a way.

I just think that you might have a little bit of post -natal depression.

Have you seen the doctor?

Oh, me too.

I just want Cheryl.

It's too late because John's going to the solicitors today. I don't care who

see. I mean, we didn't make it properly.

Don't stare at it.

You know, because you have done a good thing, Janice, and it's not just for

me and John.

It's for Poppy.

You know, don't let what someone else says go and spoil that.

I can think of plenty of people who might be stupid enough to try something

that.

I didn't imagine for one moment until now it could be you, Jonah.

I've made it perfectly clear I will not tolerate violence of any kind in this

school.

Certainly not directed towards a member of my staff. I wouldn't have.

You're in a lot of trouble.

And just because you're a teacher's son or the boyfriend of my daughter, don't

imagine for a moment that that's going to help.

This is an exclusion offence and possibly a police matter.

Hang on a minute.

How about we hear Jonah's side of the story?

Fine. What do you have to say?

Why did you do that?

Jonah.

Mr Meade has no idea why you should do such a thing.

You know Jonah.

You know he wouldn't do this unless there was a reason.

Tell him what it was.

You're giving me no choice, General.

You can't exclude me. For what?

General, I'm trying to defend you here. I know there's a reason for this.

Speak up for yourself.

Mr. Meade, can you give us your version of events, please?

Come on!

It's in that first speech.

The gentlewoman tells us, what is Lady Macbeth doing?

Oh, she's sleepwalking, sir. Yeah.

Like most of you through this lesson.

Lauren, we hear that she takes paper from her closet.

Why?

I don't know, sir.

That's why I put the coffee, sir.

Sush!

Coffee? What coffee?

I don't know. I thought she smelled some coffee or something.

Somebody.

Right, what is she doing while she sleepwalks? She's looking for a

sir.

Daughter? What daughter?

Didn't you say she had a wicked daughter? I don't know what you're

about. I must have heard it from somewhere.

Someone from planet Earth.

Why is she sleepwalking?

Oh, is she injured?

Injured?

Yeah, like... She's been hit on the head with something.

Why? Cos she got walloped over the head with a horse racing bus?

Where did you get that from?

Sir, we're just doing our best with the play. I mean, what's wrong with you?

Do you think I don't know?

You're a bit confused, sir.

I think you've got Alzheimer's.

What did you say?

Sir, you're freaking us out.

Lady Macbeth... is doing this.

Because what?

Because of what?

I don't think you're dealing with the cameras very well, sir.

Guilt.

It's because of guilt.

All I'm saying is, this is a one -off.

It's totally out of character, and I would rather that it was just forgotten.

There's no way we're going to pretend that this didn't happen. Surely that's

to me.

And if I don't want to pursue it... No, it's up to me.

If I don't get a full explanation now, I'm going to call in the police, and

can come and ask the question.

Wait a minute.

Jonah's not giving me any answers.

Neither is Mr Mead.

And I don't buy it. I know my son.

Look, I don't want to see anyone thrown out of school because of one careless

moment. If a child ate into me,

I'd want to know why.

And I'd want him punished for it.

So why don't you?

OK.

OK, I do know why you did it.

It's not easy to explain.

We're waiting.

What it is... is Jonah...

He must have overheard... He

must have overheard me saying some things about his dad.

About me?

I was annoyed with you, Marcus, over the grief you gave me about the CCTV.

So I was talking to another teacher and... Well, I guess I was slagging you

I'm sorry.

For goodness sake, Chris.

Is this right?

He was defending you, Marcus.

You can't blame him for that.

I don't want to see him get in trouble for it.

Is this right?

I... I would really like it if this was just forgotten.

I don't believe it.

Well, Jonah's not denying it.

He's a teacher's child.

You think he's not used to hearing me being called names?

Just tell us honestly.

Is this what happened?

We have rules.

We have to control our anger.

Can't just go around attacking people.

At least teachers.

We're not still talking exclusion after hearing that. I see no remorse from

Jonah.

I want a written letter of apology to Mr Mead.

And only then will I consider reducing your punishment to a first strike.

Otherwise, I'll assume you no longer wish to study at Waterloo Road.

And what about Mr Mead? We'll discuss that after you and Jonah have left.

I've got into you lately.

I know that I've made mistakes, Anne.

And I know that this was stupid.

Is there anything else you're not telling me, Chris?

I'm being as honest as I can be.

Oh, Denise.

Why is it so complicated to sort out, John?

I don't understand why it isn't just a matter of getting Janice to sign a

document to say we want the baby and she doesn't.

Why is that difficult?

Because the longer this goes... John, I think it's too late.

OK.

Did you say anything?

No. Look, Jonah, you're being totally out of order here.

Me? I know you knocked off with her, but this was ages ago.

She said it was all over.

It is.

She told me that she really likes you.

Seriously?

Yeah, just this morning.

She's not being like that with anyone.

I mean, with Finn.

I thought she was just doing that to wind up Mr Mead, but with you, it's

different.

What? Well, you know, what I'm saying is she really fancies you. She was seeing

Finn to make me jealous. No, no, that is not what I'm saying.

What? I thought you said it was ages ago.

It was.

Oh, sounds like she's still into him to me.

Why else would she make me lie?

No, Jonah, you've got it wrong.

Jonah!

Jess.

What's going to happen to Jonah?

He'll be okay.

Okay how?

Don't worry, Al.

I'll speak to him and I'll make sure that he does what he needs to do.

What's going to happen to Jonah?

He'll be okay.

Okay how?

Don't worry, Al.

I'll speak to him and I'll make sure that he does what he needs to do.

I should never have asked him to lie in the first place. He didn't lie.

All right? Well, then I should never have asked him not to tell the truth,

whatever.

Either way, he hates me now.

Hey, come on.

He'll be all right.

Denise here.

Have you seen Denise?

Hello, what's wrong?

Yes, well, it's good to know who you can trust.

Why are you looking for Denise?

Somebody is having a big laugh at my expense.

What? I told you, incompetence.

What? The kids know, so it's got to be halfway round Manchester. I don't know

what he's talking about. What other gossip have you been spreading?

the baby's missing.

It's just that the Year 11s know some private things said in here.

Leave yourself.

Even if they did, it wouldn't be one of our lot that's spreading gossip, would

it?

She's in here.

You're upset.

Let me talk to her.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I just don't know what you want.

Janice?

This is the lady.

Janice?

When I said talk to him, this isn't quite what I meant.

You haven't really thought this through, have you?

I just wanted to see her.

I knew that they wouldn't let me near her.

How does Cheryl feel about all this?

I don't know what I'm doing. I mean, last time I picked her up and she

but it's not working.

Open the door for me, Denise, eh?

I don't want to let her go. She's mine, no one else's.

I know.

It's like every part of me is telling me I'm a mum now.

And you will be, forever.

No -one can take that away.

I don't want it to.

I don't want it to ever go away.

Come on out, eh?

Am I in loads of trouble now?

No.

I won't let anyone take her away from you, if that's not what you want.

What do you want to do now, Janice?

I don't know what I want to do, but I do.

You know, there are all sorts of stories going around.

I can imagine.

Some of the kids are making out that Chris hit Jonah.

Not how he looked on CCTV.

Well, why would he do it, though?

He wouldn't, normally.

Glad to see you've come along to support the cause.

Er, yeah, except we're here to disagree with you.

My mum's headteacher. I dream of CCTV.

It's, like, top of my Christmas list.

If I have kids, no way are they coming to my school.

You don't think it's fair on them? It's not fair on you.

They're making your life a misery.

Right, if you could all make your way to the front of the seat, that would be

great. Thanks.

What Chris Meen is saying, it's a lie, isn't it?

You're messing up your education because of some misguided loyalty to... I'm

not, Dad.

I'm really not.

Have you done the PowerPoint presentation? Presentation, yeah.

Ronan managed to get a few facts and figures together.

Nothing too exciting.

Thanks, Ronan.

I know what you've done in the staff room.

So what?

Your kind of spying is even more devious than the school's.

I'm making up a point.

There's nothing wrong with the cameras.

It's just whether they're used or misused.

Guess which one you're doing.

Chris?

We're needed at this meeting.

Yeah, right.

Do you want me to take most of the questions, or...? I think you've shot

mouth off enough for one day, don't you?

What was it you were saying about Marcus that Jonah heard?

Has he written the letter yet?

Not yet.

Then I think I'll let you hear it from him.

Grandly, what are you doing?

Ah, re -enacting my movements.

Ah.

Little shots.

Hmm?

Hmm?

Is this what I think it is?

That's a webcam.

Tip.

For Tat, someone has been filming us in here.

I'll deal with that later.

So in my view, cameras in school, especially in classrooms, create a

suspicion and mistrust. I think we have to accept it's a fact of life, Mr Kirby.

I'd rather talk about how the systems are going to function.

Maybe we can switch the cameras on and off ourselves. He's ignoring my text.

Well, who has access to... I think I might have made things worse.

LEA? Teaching Council?

Anyone on the Internet?

Well, they can watch one of my algebra lessons if they want to. It'll be the

first time anyone's paid any attention to it. You wouldn't be wrong, sir.

Sorry we're late.

OK, in a minute we're going to be opening the floor for questions for Mrs

and Mr Mead. But first, Jonah and Ronan would like to show us something.

Yeah.

We're going to give you a lot of boring statistics.

about CCTV and crime rates and all that.

But our deputy head doesn't understand why we don't like being spied on.

We wondered how he'd feel.

He knew he was watching his private moments.

Well, there's a little secret on show for everyone to see.

What is this?

I think this has gone far enough.

Yeah, that's right. That's enough, lads.

I think you've made your point.

You told us you were happy with the deal.

Look, I know you're giving her a good hope.

Love her and she's out there.

You know what to do. You've read all the books.

All I've done since the birth is watch workout videos.

You know, have you realised that?

I wonder for myself.

I was scared that if I kept her that she'd take over my life.

But she's doing that anyway because I can't stop thinking about her.

I know what you're going to say.

And I know it's not fair, but I want to be a mom to my own baby.

All right, Janice.

What?

I mean, what else can I say?

Is she okay?

Yeah, she is now.

I'm going to hold her a minute.

We'll give the solicitor in as soon as I get in. Put a bit of pressure on, see

if I can get them to hurry things up.

Rupi, what is this?

It's not ours.

Yes, she is. She's ours now. I wish it was.

I wish she was, but she's not.

Look, Janice never wanted this baby.

Poppy deserves someone who wants her more than anything. It's not even Poppy.

Ruby, stop.

Haven't you seen the way Janice looks at her?

But just think about what you're doing. We might not get another chance like

this. It isn't about what you need or Janice needs.

It's about what Cheryl needs.

She needs a loan.

Why didn't you show the other twin, the one of me?

My sister made me realise I'm better than that.

Jonah, what happened with me and Jess?

It was a mistake, a real mistake. I didn't think that I was doing anything

wrong.

I felt sick when I realised that she was a pupil, and not just any pupil either.

Funny how you still feel close, Ben.

I've not had anything to do with her since.

I saw you with her earlier. What?

In your classroom?

Yeah, that's right.

She was in bits because she thought she'd messed things up with you.

Don't blow it over this. It's not worth it.

Well, I've plenty of time to think it over after being excluded.

Just write the letter.

I don't think so.

See, I've got a conscience.

You don't have to leave. Well, I'm not going to say what it's really about, and

obviously you're not, so... Jonah, just hang on two seconds.

Look, it's like what Dad says about these cameras.

People should do the right thing because it's the right thing, not because

they'll get found out.

Earlier in the staff room...

Is that what passes for an apology in your world?

I wouldn't have made that mistake. I'm just... I'm finding

it difficult to focus at the moment.

You can't carry on like this.

It's no good for you. It's no good for Fleur. And actually,

grant me, it isn't any good for any of us. Don't have a choice.

You know, Fleur's condition isn't the problem here.

It's you.

Your love for her is the problem.

Because it's hurting now.

No.

And if you really want to do best by her, you have to let her go.

Well, I'd best be off. It's against my better principles to hang around longer

than her.

Grantly.

Grant Lee.

Do you have a letter for me?

No, miss.

The fighting wasn't enough you sneak a camera into the staff room and in the

process humiliate one of my teachers

We're not getting anywhere here

you can go now Jonah, I'll explain go on

Before

I start

I don't think that we should extend the cameras beyond the trial period.

Why is that?

You had a school built on trust.

I didn't understand that.

Why do I think I'm not going to like this?

Is he not?

It's okay, Dad.

I think Mr. Min's explaining more.

Something to do with Jess, isn't it?

Yeah.

Do you remember the first day of term?

I tried to resign and you stopped me.

Yeah.

Well, you wouldn't have done if you'd known the reason I wanted to leave.

What's this got to do with Jonah?

The night before.

Well, you wouldn't have done if you'd known the reason I wanted to leave.

What's this got to do with Jonah? The night before... I'd been out.

In a club.

And I met... this girl.

Chris?

It was Jess.

She didn't come home that night?

No.

She was with me.

I didn't know that she was your daughter.

How could I?

I thought it would have been all right if it had been someone else's daughter.

thought she was older.

Look, I can't tell you how mortified I was when I found out. Not enough to tell

me. I wanted to tell you as soon as I knew, but then all that stuff with Ruth

Kirby going missing, there wasn't a chance.

And then it just seemed like it was too late.

And I love this job. You selfish idiot.

Karen. You've allowed Jess to walk around all this time, carrying that with

protecting you.

She's had all that other stuff to deal with.

You've lied to me all this time.

I've nearly excluded a child whilst you've... Weaseled out of

Do you know what's really sad, Chris?

He could have been great.

He could have been a really great teacher.

I've loved every minute of working here. Get out.

Hello, then.

The man did the right thing once in his life.

Well, I don't care what he did.

I care that you called me a liar and a cheat.

You could have told me.

Well, maybe I didn't tell you because I was scared you'd do something totally

freaky. Like, I don't know, um, hitting a teacher. And then almost outing me in

front of the entire school just when you promised you wouldn't say anything.

She'd never have made me promise.

What was I supposed to do?

Let you blab?

And then a teacher loses his job because of me?

But it's okay for me to get thrown out of school instead.

I don't want to lose you over something that happened before we even knew each

other.

It's not about that.

It's about you caring more about what happens to me to me than what happens to

me.

We're over.

Oh, lovely.

Look at Cheryl.

God, just look at your big cheeks.

Oh, Lord, you stink.

She needs changing.

Oh, yeah, OK.

Can I have a little help, please?

She's all yours.

Jess?

It's your mum.

Can you give me a call back when you get this?

I think we should meet up and...

I'm not in the mood for you yelling at me, OK?

I'm not going to yell.

I'm sorry you couldn't talk to me about this.

It's not just you.

I've been doing stuff, too, to get to you. I don't know why you don't deserve

it. You didn't deserve Chris Meade taking advantage of you.

That was me, Mum. It was my fault. He knew what he was doing. I did all the

running.

He didn't stand a chance, to be honest.

He'd like you to think that. He's not done anything wrong, Mum.

I threw myself at him.

And maybe that's because you and me are messed up. I don't know.

Don't screw him over because of that.

He should have been straight with me, Jess. I asked him not to say anything.

He kept it quiet for me as much as anything else.

He's just being selfish.

OK.

So... He gets sacked.

And I feel rubbish for it, right?

That's the best that can happen.

The worst is that the whole school finds out and the governors get involved and

it ends up in the school newspaper and everything and I can't... Deal with all

that stuff, Mum. You wouldn't have to.

I'll deal with it.

He's a good teacher, Mum. Not many are.

He broke the rules.

You make the rules.

It's not as easy as that.

Jonah broke up with me, Mum.

Jonah's not excluded, I gather.

No.

Although I did see a side to him that I didn't much like today.

He's not entirely blameless in all of this, but he's a very good student.

I don't want to lose him.

How are you keeping up the front?

I'm sorry?

You don't have to keep it together, you know.

Not for me.

I know you saw him as a friend.

It must have upset you to fire him.

I haven't decided what course of action to take yet.

Are you serious?

This man slept with a pupil.

Not just any pupil.

He lied.

Flat out lied.

And you still want him as your second -in -command? If I fire Chris now, what

good is that going to do my daughter or your son? My son's education was at

stake because of him.

And you're saying he could walk away unpunished?

I said I haven't decided yet.

OK.

I'll make this easy for you.

Sack Chris Mead or I resign.

Marcus.

You're a brilliant teacher.

You make a huge difference here. I've had nothing but respect for you.

The way you cope with this job.

No matter what was going on at home.

But this... This is out of order.

This is your personal life dictating what you do in work.

There's nothing stopping me reporting this, of course.

I know you won't do that, Marcus.

Fine.

Him or me.

Your call.

What would she do if you were me?

I'm not you.

I never will be. I've pretty much proved that.

Well, let me put it another way.

Should I accept your resignation or Marcus's?

Sorry? That's the choice.

There's no choice.

I'm finished in teaching.

You're fast -tracking something that's all about experience.

I really... I wanted to get to work, you know?

At any cost.

No, it wasn't about me.

My career, I know you probably won't believe that, but... I was just trying

do the right thing by everyone.

Really?

If I'd quit back in September, I'd have been walking out on you just at the

moment when you needed me most.

And if I'd come clean and told everything, I'd have made life

Jess.

So what was I supposed to do?

Avoided the situation in the first place.

Right.

Well, I'm not going to stand around here being silent.

Just one thing.

Will Marcus get my job?

I should think so, yeah.

If you were going.

Sorry, I'm not with you.

Don't I get to be selfish sometimes, too?

That's the badger. If you recognise your inexperience and learn from it...

Karen. And I don't want my daughter wasting her energies, feeling guilty

you.

But remember this, Chris.

Your card is marked.

One more mistake and you're out.

Whatever the consequences.

What about Marcus?

This is the thing.

Not mine.

Marcus, look, for once...

If you touch my girl again, I'll kill you.

Steph.

Rain for two weeks, thunder and lightning the first night, knocked out

electrics, no telly.

My dad must have been going bananas trying to think of things for us to do.

I don't know who this is.

It's Grantley, Fleur.

Well, Grantley, if you don't mind, I'm trying to have a private conversation

with my mother.

Ruby called me.

I'm here to help, Grantley.

You need help.

You're moving to London?

Well, I'm glad I won't be around when you tell the kids. There's one thing you

haven't thought of.

Tell your house.

Is there any truth in this rumour that you've been studying last year's text?

Simple mistake.

Simple mistake?

The only way forward is a charge of professional misconduct.

Excuse me?
