Doesn't your sister look great?

Let's get going.

Come on, come on, come on.

When I saw the state of the boys' exam results, I realised something had to be

done. Awful or not, separating boys and girls isn't going to work.

If you have any problems, then I'd like you to take them to our new head of

pastoral care.

I'm sure you'll find each other equally challenging.

I'd like to introduce you to our latest addition. This is Mr Kyle Stack.

Who are you looking at?

You are not running away again.

Pecs, please.

What, are you off to scare some more girls, are you? What? Everyone knows

pathetic little perv you are. Who's been saying that? Who's a pecs? Everyone,

mate.

Who's a pecs? Who's a pecs? Who's a pecs? Who's a pecs? Who's a pecs? Who's

pecs? Who's a pecs?

Who's a pecs?

Hiya, Bill.

Yeah, I'm outside yours now.

All right, then. See you in a bit.

Bye. Bye.

Should we go and see baby Brooke?

Oh, you look dead smart, love.

I'll feed Brooke.

Lily, we haven't got time for this.

You're going to school. That's the end of it.

Yeah, I said I would, didn't I?

Maybe she needs changing. Then if she does, then I'll deal with it. That's

I'm here for.

Look, I'll tell you how today's going to go. You're going to go to school,

you're going to have a laugh with your mates, and then everything's going to

back to normal.

That's what we agreed.

You just want to keep her for yourself.

Billy, that's not true.

But you're not a mum, I am. Go to school, Billy.

No.

I don't want to go to school.

I want to stay here and look after my baby.

Go to school, please. No!

Go to school!

Hello, Denise.

Hey, Miss Kayla.

Billy's just coming. Billy!

Say bye -bye to Brooke.

What, is she not coming to the school crash? Not today, no.

Why? That's none of your business, Denise.

Go on.

Say hello to your mum for me, love.

You should decide what's happening with Brooke. She's your baby, Bella.

Stay with him.

He's been wearing the same shirt all week. He looks scruffier than most of

kids.

He spends all his time at the care home, he's flat.

I guess he's neglecting himself a bit, though.

A bit?

Maybe one of us should have a word.

And by one of us, you mean me?

Well, blokes aren't good at that sort of thing, are they?

Morning.

Morning.

Dressed for the job, I see.

Well... You're under more scrutiny when you're the head, aren't you?

Are they down?

Don't worry.

I'm not asking it full -time.

That's Billy Taylor there with Janice.

She's going to need a lot of support.

I've got her booked in first thing.

On the ball, as ever.

You know what? Kyle's stack still seems like a bit of an outsider.

Yeah, he's not the sort to form friendships early.

I think I'll pull in with Finn Sharkey for a bit and shout.

Not showing me his butt, eh?

There they go.

Billy Taylor?

I'm Miss Lawal, new head of pastoral care.

Are you the one Mum's been talking to on the phone? Yeah, she's filled me in a

bit about your situation.

Come to my office at registration and we'll catch up then.

I've got to get to work.

Make sure you tell Miss Lawal what's happening with your mum.

Got any pictures?

What of? Of the baby.

Is it cute or what?

Yeah, my cousin's just had one. It's well ugly.

I'm saying that so she... Let's not talk about babies then.

When a girl has a crush on a boy, she usually just writes him a note or...

Tries to snog him off me. What are you going on about?

You and Nate Gurney.

Oh, don't be daft. We're just like hanging around together, that's all.

Hanging out together how often?

Every night this week.

Well, that's not just hanging out.

That's getting to know each other.

Okay, so maybe I fancy him a bit, but still.

We're just mates.

He don't like me like that.

Well, he's gay, isn't he?

Just because he's gay doesn't mean he fancies me.

Besides, I'm not even his type.

Well, you know how to find out.

Ask him.

That hole in your face isn't just for eating crisps, you know.

Is she on the boat?

That was Mum.

Is any of you all right?

Why doesn't she ask me herself?

I don't know.

Maybe she doesn't want to hear the answer.

Yeah, well, I've told her I do. I want to know what's going on with you. Anyone

can see you're paranoid.

Just leave it.

All right.

You're really happy to be home, right? And nothing's playing on your mind. Last

thing you need is your little sister banging on about it.

Good morning, Jonah.

There's my essay.

I did it last night.

It's not due in till Friday.

Blimey, I wish your other classmates were as keen.

Well, Spanish is my favourite subject.

I was thinking of going on holiday there next year. See how I got on speaking

the language?

Do you know, I've been thinking, we don't get enough real Spanish -talking

class. Do you think if I offered conversation class, I'd get someone to

No, I would.

Why don't you find out if anyone else is interested?

Like if I'd ever notice?

I'm free at lunchtime if you are.

All right.

Morning.

Morning. Morning.

Morning.

What a slick, Rowley.

You're getting worse. What a mess.

Oh, I must be inside your house.

No, you won't. It is to use the proverbial tip.

Well, how did it get into that state?

Well, I go from here straight to the home fleurs -in, sit talking for two

to someone who doesn't know who I am, and then I get home, eat something out

a box, down the best part of a bottle of whiskey, bed and back here. You need a

woman's touch, Grantley.

Never mind a woman with a degree in domestic science.

You. Well, you know, look, I'm just saying that if you...

Need any help?

Not from you, I don't.

What have I done now?

It's what you've not done.

It's time that you two buried the hatchet.

No way.

You nearly killed Bex with that dog of his.

And now I don't have a dog.

Thanks to you. See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. You know, you two

have got a lot more in common than you may think you have.

So I want you to shake hands now and get on with it.

You can't make us do that. No?

I can't make you do anything, but I'm asking you to do it.

I don't want any bad blood in this school.

I'm not going to shake his hand, and I don't want to be his mate.

Same here.

Okay.

You.

You're lucky that you're still at this school.

Any more trouble, and you'll be out. And you.

You step out of line, and we'll be down on you like a ton of bricks.

You know, one day, you two are going to grow up strange as that may seem.

And I guarantee that you will both look back on this and you'll realise that you

are behaving like complete idiots.

Out!

Sir, do you get paid more money for standing in for Mrs Fisher?

Wish I did.

Yeah, but I think you should.

So all the problems going to Mrs Fisher's daughter are now going to come

Really? Yeah, and there's a case of child theft that needs to be looked

Child theft?

Do you want to expand?

Yeah. Billy Taylor's mum's trying to steal a baby.

Oh, come on, Janice, don't be so ridiculous.

What? It's true.

I heard it.

OK.

What exactly did you hear?

Shouting.

Yes.

Yeah, but all I know is that Billy was in the right state.

Well, Miss Lowell's dealing with Billy, so you don't need to trouble yourself

anymore. Yeah, and I've told her to tell Miss Lowell what her mum was doing to

her. Janice, I really don't need you stirring up trouble, especially today.

get on with your own job.

Oh, yeah, because that's how I'm good for having it, being a school sicker.

What was that?

What?

That.

Janice.

This might sound like a really stupid question, but do you have a baby in your

drawer?

No way.

Well, it would be well close to keep a baby in a drawer.

I do have one in the stationery cupboard.

Crash, now please. Oh, well, she's not doing no well. Why do we have to take

to the crash? Because that's where she goes every other day. Why is today so

different? Oh, well, I didn't know it was a crime to want to spend time with

your baby.

Come on, Sherry.

Amazing.

Come in, Billy.

Come on, take a seat.

How do you find him being back?

Are you a little nervous?

Is that what my mum told you?

That I'm nervous?

Oh, now I've got my own eyes.

We booked a place on the creche for baby Brooke. I thought you were bringing her

in today.

Mum says Brooke's got to stay at home with her.

She reckons I should concentrate on getting things back to normal at school.

I'm trying, I swear.

Well, maybe it's for the best.

Until you settle back in at school.

Right, let's get the first day over, eh?

Any problems, I'm here to help.

Go on, off you go.

Loving the enthusiasm.

I know.

Waterloo Road kids signing up for extra classes. It's a big ask.

Well, if anyone can get them to come, it'll be you.

Oh, gosh. I'm flattered.

It's appreciated.

There's not many teachers at this school that give up their own time to help out

with things like this.

There are some special pupils in this school, and I just want to see them

their full potential.

Brilliant.

Tom, where's Stack?

He doesn't play for any of the school teams, does he?

No. Have you asked him?

Look, Kyle seems more interested in kicking his classmates than he does in

football. Look, besides that, I've got Finn Sharkey in the senior team. He's

essential. They're sworn enemies. That is my point. I thought... Now, hear me

out. If you could get them both playing on the same team, that might help them

forget their differences. What do you think?

I don't know if he's any good.

I'll give him a trial at lunchtime.

Cheers, Tom.

Best of luck.

Billy! What did Miss Lowell say?

She said my mum's been talking to her. She said they both agreed that my mum

should look after Brooke.

I can't believe it.

What, so she's backing your mum against you?

Brooke is your baby, Billy. Mum's been saying all sorts of things about me.

That I'm not fit to look after her. She said the same about me.

If I were to give our Cheryl away, it would have been the worst mistake of my

life.

Look, you've got to do something.

It's no use.

I've already made up my mind.

Look, where should you be now?

Food technology.

All right, get to class.

Your first day back, Billy, and you're late.

I see Miss Lohan.

Right, take a seat.

You work folders out for you. The girls are doing theory today.

Miss, why is no one talking?

Isn't it great?

See what happens when the Year 10 boys come in.

Yes? Sir, need help with question one.

Er, one.

Get back in your seat.

Sir, I don't feel well. You'll feel a lot worse if you don't get back in that

seat.

Yes. You know what, it's all right, sir.

I don't need any help.

Sir, he said he didn't have a clue.

Sir, proper dinked in here.

I can't smell anything.

Sir, it smells really, really bad.

It's like an old tramp's let himself in or something.

Oh, right, that's enough.

Get on with your work by yourselves. I don't care if you pass or fail.

Have you told Billy Taylor it's all right? Mum's taking the baby.

What I said to Billy is confidential. OK, madam.

Yeah, and it was her that told me. And I don't think it's fair that because

she's a single mum she don't get no rights.

The baby's Billy's. No -one's disputing that.

Yeah, and Mum's dead set on nicking that baby.

Well, if you don't know that, then you shouldn't even be in your job.

If I were you, I'd keep your opinions to yourself.

I've got ten years' experience dealing with children's problems.

Fine. If you're not going to look after Billy, I will. You will stay out of

this. That's an instruction.

Alright?

Yeah.

Listen, I'm sorry about your dog.

It's alright.

My fault, really.

Shouldn't have used him to fight my battles.

Had a good laugh last night, mate.

Yeah, it was brilliant.

It was a fluke, though.

We'll have a rematch tonight.

Yeah, if you want to get totally humiliated.

Cool.

Maybe we could do something else instead of playing computer games.

Sounds good.

What are you talking to that queen for?

Shut up, Finn.

What's the letter about?

Where the hell did you get this?

Who's the guy?

I'm not answering any of your questions.

Bex, what's the on about that there's money to be made?

It sounds like a flaming gangster or something.

You stole it. I'm a locker. Okay, I'm sorry that I went in your bag, yeah, but

I'm worried about you.

I'm even more worried now I've read that. Don't do anything like this again.

Why can't you just answer my question?

Who's Hodge?

Why is he so desperate to see you?

You're scared of him, aren't you? Look, you mention his name one more time and

I'm leaving.

Do you understand me?

I'm not coming back.

I've worn that one off as well.

Best of luck.

Janice won't be convinced she's wrong until Billy's mum takes a lie detector

test. She's on a mission.

I might get the mum in sometime this week and chat about it.

It's not that all this is making her feel uneasy.

Yeah, she was doing well. Her grades were above average, then bang, she got

pregnant and all her education stopped.

It'd be a real waste if she leaves here without any qualifications.

Kyle, could you please concentrate on your work?

What's the point?

I don't understand a word.

I was thinking about this dead dog, miss.

Shut it, you! Kyle, please.

Can't you see that he's hoping that you'll respond the way you do?

Miss Montoya, can I have a few minutes with Kyle Stack, please?

Of course, Mr Clarkson. Me?

What for?

Just wait outside.

Finn!

So aggressive, you can't even look at him and he takes offence.

I'll have a word with him, thank you.

Why is everyone picking on me?

Because you give them the satisfaction of responding.

I didn't do anything.

So what was going on in there?

I hate Spanish.

Well, is there anything that you are interested in?

Football?

It's all right.

You play?

Sometimes. Well, what about joining the lads at lunchtime, just for a kickabout,

see if you can make the team?

I don't know.

Gael, you haven't made a single friend since you started here. No wonder you're

bored. I don't think I'll be very good.

Well, that's what practice is for, to get better.

Give it a go, eh?

I suppose.

Good. Come.

So, are you going Miss Montoya's conversation class?

Are you kidding?

In my lunch break?

Nah, I've got better things to do in my spare time.

What about you?

Er, not too sure yet.

Brantley, I have some free time, so I've cooked you up some suppers.

For God's sake, I don't need looking after.

Right, well, there's plenty of us in here who think that you do.

You know, I don't want charity.

I'm so glad I've wasted our morning cooking.

He doesn't want to know, does he?

If it's a bolognese, a chicken curry and a steak pie, isn't that?

Well, I'll have it if it's going begging.

No, listen, it's Grantley's and Grantley is going to get it, but I just think

I'm going to need your help. OK.

Billy.

Janice tells me you're worried about your mum keeping Brooke at home. She

wouldn't have said anything.

Well, if you're missing Brooke, it's quite natural.

You can always give your mum a ring from my office, do you know, if you want.

It's in safe hands, you know.

It might feel like your mum's spending more time with the baby, but that's just

because she knows how important school is to you.

You've missed a lot of schooling, Billy.

The best thing you can do is get your qualifications.

Oi. Have you got any pictures tonight? I feel like I haven't seen you for ages.

I'm busy with Nate tonight.

What, again?

I've seen a lot of him lately.

Something going on between the two of you? No.

Just mates, that's all.

Tom.

Come on.

Now's your chance. Are you sure about this? Yes.

Did that miss the wall for me?

I thought she could have helped. Well, she didn't. Well, did you tell her how

your mum's trying to take over the baby, like I said?

She's on my mum's side.

Yeah, and I'm on yours.

I seen with me own eyes this morning how your mum was going on, holding Brooke

as if she was hers.

Do you really believe me?

I thought I was going mad.

Look, let's go to your mum's now and have it out.

Us mums need to sit together.

Uh, Jonah?

Hey.

Sorry, um, this is a bit embarrassing, but you're the only one that's signed up

for conversation classes so far.

Oh, right.

Obviously, I'm not as inspiring as I might have hoped.

No worries.

Good. I mean, you're great. What?

Oh, you want to come to the class?

Oh, no, not want to. I just assumed that you wouldn't want to, uh... I'm more

afraid if you are.

Um, well, I'll see you at lunchtime.

Mum?

What are you doing home?

She wants to see her baby.

Well, she's settled.

Why are you not at school?

Well, Billy wants to speak to you about a few things.

What exactly's going on?

Go on.

I know you're only trying to help.

But Brooke's my baby.

Not yours.

You're doing too much. I need you to stop.

I can't stop, Billy.

She's a baby.

Somebody needs to look after her. Well, what about a mum? Stay out of this, you.

Go on.

I've got your attention now.

You just want her for yourself.

You can't look after her.

You're not safe to be left with her.

I'm not having my granddaughter put at risk. Put at risk?

I love her.

See, she's been like this for months.

Then she wonders why I want the baby to be with me.

Oh, no, hang on a minute. Do you see?

It's best for all of us.

You get your life back.

Be a teenager again.

So I've... I've been in touch with a lawyer.

To see if I can adopt. No!

You have no idea

what's going on here.

Don't for one second think that you have heard the last of this.

Pick him down there, Rowan.

So, what's he doing here?

Practicing his football like everybody else.

They don't want any trouble.

He causes all the trouble.

Surprised he hasn't been kicked out yet.

Well, look what we'll do, Rowan. We'll give all the kiddies a chance. Even

little pests like you. Go on. Right.

I want you to dribble through these cones and then pass to your partner.

He's going to shoot through these two cones here.

First time. Got it?

Where's Jonah? Sucking up to Miss Montoya. Eh?

He's doing some daft. Spanish conversation class. What, I'm missing

practice? Right, Ronan, you go first.

I want an accurate pass for Stephen.

So we're working together, supporting each other.

Ben, I want you with Kyle.

the ball, close, dribble round the third, call pass to Kyle.

What? Do you think I don't know that you've just done that on purpose?

He was in a perfect position to get the ball.

Yeah, it'd help if he was any good though, wouldn't it? He's crap. I'll be

judge of that.

You've just lost your teammate the chance to score a goal, that's what I

crap.

You alright, Kyle?

No, I'm fine. Good lad.

He's only on the team, should feel sorry for him. Right.

Go on, you. Get to what?

I've had enough of your cheek. Go on, you're out of the team.

Go!

It's all right.

I'll go.

No, you're staying.

Go on.

All right.

But I'm not coming back.

Right, you lot, jog round the playground.

Now!

Come on, faster!

Hi, where have you been?

I got you a phone.

It's just one of them pay -as -you -go ones, but I thought you might need it in

case you get lost or something.

It's so nice.

Well, you're my sister.

I love you, don't I?

Look, I know that everything you do is because you care about me.

I'm not going to run away again if that's what you're worried about.

I think.

Don't cry the steak pie, bro.

I'm not getting anything to eat, mate.

Going straight to your office after school and getting wasted.

Yeah, the answer to everyone's problems.

Getting sloshed.

Who asked you?

Whoa, what's the matter?

Look, your dad's just kicked me off the team, yeah? Are you joking?

What for? For nothing!

Why do I suspect that's not the whole story?

What, you're laughing at me as well?

Right, tell you what, I'll leave you here with your boyfriend, yeah? I'll be

over here on my own.

What, really?

Boyfriend, yeah?

What, so you know that I don't?

I've never said that. I'm not complaining.

Well,

I do like to keep myself fit.

Right, well, excellent.

Is that all?

We've been at it for 40 minutes.

Well, I was really enjoying it, talking to you.

Yeah, well, I have to admit those 40 minutes did go by rather quickly.

There's not a lot of year 12 pupils who can speak Spanish and talk about Gabriel

Garcia Marquez.

My new favourite author, now.

So he stayed for the course, that's something.

Yeah, he did.

And I lost Finn Sharkey, one of your best players.

Wasn't the whole point of the exercise to keep on playing in the same team?

I'd known him the whole time.

I had no choice.

What now?

Well, everything seemed to go by. I've got the feeling that Kyle enjoyed being

part of the team.

Could always work on that.

Oh, that's good.

But what about Finn?

We don't want him falling back into his old ways if he feels outdone by him.

Maybe I can get his mate Josh to have a word with him.

Great.

OK, feel it here.

Feel it right there.

Right,

you might want to pack your things.

Same time tomorrow?

Yeah, let's see.

Okay. Why don't you let the rest of the class know how useful conversation

classes are, see if you can't get them to turn up.

Right.

Where's the head teacher?

Excuse me, you can't just barge in here.

Is she here?

No, she's away, but I'm the deputy head. Now, I suggest you just calm down and

tell me what this is about.

I'm Laura Taylor.

Billy's mum?

I'd like to lodge a serious complaint against one of your staff.

Wait till I get my hands on Chesca, stealing my best footballers. My house

were in the left breast pocket of my jacket, as usual, except now they're

They can't have gone far.

I'll let you look for them.

I hope I haven't been robbed, working in a den of thieves, as I do.

Miss Lowell, I need you in the office.

Anything serious?

Billy Taylor's mum's up there shouting the odds.

Billy's been home during lunchtime, and here...

Great, it's all done.

It's not the best of it.

Janice is involved.

If you ask me, Janice Bryant is behind all this.

Billy does not need winding up.

For someone to lash out at their own mother like that. They're not fit to

after a baby.

So, you're saying Billy hits you? She's been like this for months.

She's having mood swings. I don't know what to do anymore.

I'm this far away from calling the police on my own daughter.

I understand how angry you must feel, but let's just wait and see if Billy

back to school and then we can hear both sides of the story.

So I'm sorry?

It's too late for that.

I've got a baby to think about.

Billy needs to realise what she's doing to this family.

Until we've established the facts, let's not do anything we could regret.

Billy could easily have the baby taken away from her.

Don't look too unhappy about that, Mrs Taylor.

She assaulted me.

Ask Janice.

She saw everything.

Will you excuse us just for one second?

What is going on?

I don't know.

It's a mess, to say the least.

Why don't you go back in there, try and defuse the situation.

Fat chance.

The woman's about to shop her own daughter. I'm not sure she's in the mood

listen. I'll track down Billy and Janice, see if we can get to the bottom

this.

Miss, Billy's mum's had a run -off with a baby.

Yeah, she's run here.

Yeah, because you and her were trying to take Brooke off me. Your mum's upset

about what happened at the house.

We're going to get this sorted out, don't worry.

You in the office, you won't hear her.

You have to say that you didn't see anything.

But I did.

Your mum said a few things.

She wouldn't have hit her.

I can't help it.

I lost my temper.

Please, I can't lose my baby.

Tell us what happened, Janice.

Well?

The truth, Janice.

Mrs Taylor, please.

Well, she thinks I'm the baddie here and I'm just trying to keep Brooke safe.

Go on, Janice.

Well, we went to the house, me and Billy.

They don't need to know the ins and outs. Just tell them about the assault.

And he was loaded shouting.

I never saw no assault.

She's lying.

Look at her.

Look.

I know you probably think I'm a bit of a madam.

You might be right.

But, sir, she don't give a toss about Billy.

All she wants is that baby.

She wants to adopt Brooke. Because it's the best for everyone.

And I do give a toss about her, actually. Very much so.

Miss you, sir.

Would you mind if Janice takes the baby down to the fresh?

No, I'm sorry. I'd like Brooke to stay with me, please. Well, we need to talk,

and I, for one, can barely hear myself think.

She will be safe down there.

Look, I'm supposed to be taking her to the crash.

Well, I'll come with you.

I don't know, Bella.

But they're probably going to call you in there in a minute.

Well, I'll go back in a minute.

I've not even seen the crash yet.

I think you should leave her with me.

Is that my mum?

Let me take her.

What happened in there? What did they say?

Asking a load of questions.

And I said I didn't see anything.

Thank you.

Because I know you didn't mean it, and I know you won't do it again.

No more lies from now on, yeah?

And you need to learn to keep your temper.

Yeah, Tom.

Have you got any spare A4?

Yes. Everything okay?

I could have sworn those weren't there earlier.

Must be gone soon, though.

He hadn't there with Fleur before then.

He's probably just tired.

Hey, fancy a drink later? Relax a bit?

Much as I would like to take you upon your generous offer.

I didn't say anything about paying for it, yeah?

Oh.

Go on, then. My treat.

You deserve a good night out.

Might even stand you a curry after.

I can't.

Fleur will worry if I'm not there at visiting time.

Come on, grab me. You even said yourself she hardly knows who you are.

Do you mind?

That's my wife you're talking about. OK, she might not know who I am, but I know

who she is. Sorry, mate, that was a bit crass. Indeed.

But I'm sure she wouldn't mind you missing the odd night.

Things that bad?

No, it's fine.

Everything's fine.

I was just trying to help you, mate.

And after work's drink wouldn't be the same without your smiling face.

Just don't shut yourself away. It's the last thing Fleur would want for you.

Hey, you.

You didn't turn up for practice today.

I'll do the rest in Spanish.

It's for the football. Am I hearing right?

I really want to get an A at my A -level.

My miss wants to tell you things. I need the extra help in my speaking. So

forget about football.

Ah, Miss Montoya. You're clearly one of my best players here. I've never known a

boy in my experience choose Spanish lessons over football.

Well, we were hoping that we'd get more boys now.

What, even more of my players?

Okay.

Maybe we should run the classes after school, Jenna.

Avoid the fixtures clash, if that's all right with you.

Yeah, even better.

Right. I mean, if that means more boys will come, then all the better for me.

Well, sounds like a good solution.

Josh! You know that pain in the neck mate of yours, Finn Sharkey?

Yeah. Well, I've stuck my neck out a bit. It's backfired on me. I need your

help.

Okay.

Basically, I need you to have a word with me.

I thought that when Billy came back to school, that her behaviour would

We both did.

Well, having a baby can be traumatic for anyone, let alone a young girl.

The first couple of months, she was absolutely fine.

A lot more relaxed than I ever was.

But then suddenly she started to become really defensive, quite moody,

and her behaviour just changed.

I know that can happen.

I don't know, maybe she's got baby blues.

Wouldn't that mean that she rejects the baby and she's not?

She just thinks everybody's against her.

Better than me.

I don't have any option.

I am going to adopt Brooke.

Well, you can still be supportive and be Brooke's grandmother.

No, I don't think I have a choice.

I'm not doing this to hurt Billy.

I'm doing this because I think it's for the best.

That description of Billy.

I mean, she never was the quietest kid before she got pregnant, but violent? So

Mrs. Taylor says.

Maybe it's her age, if you know what I mean.

It's a question of who do we believe.

Janice's word against Mrs.

Taylor's. Accusing Billy of hitting her can only help in getting Brooke adopted.

If Mrs. Taylor's lying just so she can steal her own daughter's child, that

makes her one very strange mother. One that I've never met before.

Don't talk to me about strange mothers. I'm an expert.

Look, as far as I'm concerned, that mother in there, that's got all the

problems.

Hand on heart.

Yeah, I'm beginning to see what Janice meant.

And tip your egg yolk from side to side. Put all the white into your

bowl.

Oh, that's really good, Kylie. You haven't got any yolk in there.

Great.

Hey, do you know something Stack's good at?

Cooking.

I should pour this over his head, shouldn't I?

You believe I'm not in the team, and he is. He chose not to be on it.

Your dad chose him over me.

It's his job as a teacher.

He wouldn't be doing it if it weren't helping pupils, Mix.

Well, let him do his job, then.

He can't go back on this.

If you want to be back in the team, it's got to come from you.

Do you think you're going to be able to sit on the sideline and watch Kyle

score?

It's a changer.

Well, I can give you a hand.

Why?

Just in case you get muddled up.

You're as bad as my mum, you.

Don't you trust me?

I didn't mean it like that.

Look, it can be a struggle if you've got to go with a baby.

Baby, why? Didn't that appear?

It's best if you don't just do a pee.

Yeah, well, I've got to get used to that, don't I?

Well, shout me if you need me.

I'll be in the classroom, Cheryl.

Look, if you want to go and sit with Nate Gurney, just say so.

What are you going on about?

In you come.

Look, I know me and Nate have been spending a lot of time together, but I

you might, you know... More fancier?

Maybe.

Forget him, he's an idiot.

What is it with you?

Took you like anyone.

If you don't watch it, you'll end up like Kyle.

Look, sir, what I said before about wanting to leave the team, I didn't mean

Does that mean you're going to play like a professional?

No grudges on the pitch?

Yes, sir.

Good.

Thanks.

What are you doing?

Was Billy Taylor in here?

No.

Is she all right? Well, I don't know, do I?

She was a bit upset. She said she'd be in here.

She didn't really see myself this morning.

And I got the feeling that she didn't really like a baby.

And she didn't have any pictures of her on her phone?

Not even on her mobile.

And every time we tried to talk to her about Brooke, she just said, I don't

to talk about babies. Well, weird.

I've got to go.

Time to hear Billy's side of the story.

Shall we get her in?

Yeah. Janice? I can't find Billy anywhere.

She's got the baby with her.

I told you not to leave them. Don't worry, she can't have gone far.

Yeah, go start looking.

Anyone see Billy Taylor?

No, sir. Not there. Sorry, sir.

Billy?

Billy?

Billy?

Billy?

It's me, Janice.

I mean, what if we've missed her?

What if she's not even in the school grounds no more?

We can't cover the whole of Rochdale, not just yours.

If anything happens to that baby, I swear.

Why would anything happen to the baby?

Janice! Believe me when I say this is not the time to be coy.

I lied.

Billy went for her mum and her mean proper lost it.

Is Taylor which right?

But she has been acting a bit strange.

Any luck?

No. I've covered most of the school.

Oh, this is all my fault.

I could have done a better job. There's no point blaming yourselves. Let's just

try and find Billy.

and take my baby away from me.

She's mine.

Billy?

No one's trying to take your baby away.

Billy.

Billy, give her to me, please. No.

Mrs. Taylor.

Okay,

everyone, keep quiet.

Billy, look at me.

I know you might think that we're all against you, but we're not.

Who's saying things to you, Billy? We're the only ones here.

Just leave me alone, please.

Are you hearing voices?

Horrible ones.

What are they saying, Billy?

Slagging me off.

I love my baby.

I know you do.

Hey, we all know that.

I'm not one of the voices, am I?

Eh?

But I think, I think we can stop them.

We can stop you thinking all those things.

Because we know that you don't mean it.

Just like you don't mean to hurt your baby.

We know that you love Brooke.

I think you might be ill, but if we get you to a doctor, if we get you to the

hospital, they can help you.

They can stop you thinking all these things, and they can make those voices

away, I promise you.

Billy?

Come on.

You don't mean this.

Fill the beans about Josh and Nate, then.

Well, one's short with curly hair. You know what I mean.

Well, not really, unless you're talking about man, though.

Look, I don't care that he's gay.

You can go out with every lad in the school for all I care, don't you?

When you're like girls, it's different because you have your mate and then you

have your girlfriend.

If he's with another lad, then he's going to be like his new best mate.

Where do I fit in?

Look at you, all jealous because you're mates, don't you, for his new boyfriend?

Don't be daft.

I can't tell whether it's cute or just sad.

Or maybe a bit of both.

You've got nothing useful to say?

Yeah.

Get over yourself.

Grantley?

Look, I'm going to see Fleur. No, I don't want your food.

Actually, I've delivered it, and a lot more besides.

It was you that took my kids.

You know, actually, it was Tom, and we're only trying to help because we

care about you.

Listen, maybe tomorrow you would consider a wash and a brush -up, and

aftershave and deodorant kit.

I'm afraid I've let you down.

I couldn't persuade anyone to come to the conversation classes.

How hard did you try?

Not very.

But I wouldn't want anyone to lower their standards.

You going to the pub?

Yeah, yeah. I'll catch up with you.

Right.

Well, I'll see you tomorrow.

I thought classes were only once a week. Well, if you want to learn how to speak

fluently, then you'll just have to keep going at it.

It's Karen.

Conference full of education babble. I'll be back tomorrow. I'm sure

everything's gone smoothly.

Yeah, depends what your definition of smooth is, I suppose.

Are you okay?

I really thought she was going to do it.

Doesn't Karen keep any booze in this place?

I know what you mean. I could do with a steadying pint of three myself.

I nearly blew it today, Chris.

Believe in Janice's word over Billy's mother's. Oh, come on, don't beat

up. It was hardly straightforward.

It could have been the worst day in this school's life if it hadn't been for

you.

Well, you've certainly proved you can sit in the hot seat.

For a day.

Let me take you for a drink, and I won't hear a no.

When my memories ring like telephones

And

I'll have somewhere

I can go I'll have comfort, this one thing I

know

Yeah, you would pull another blanket round me.

This is where I...

Come on, Stevie.

Get it!

Who's that?

Dunno.

Okay, to tell you the truth, it's Nate.

Alright, well, I'll sort some pizzas then, shall I?

Cool.

Alright, mate.

Can I have three meat and cheese pizzas, please?

Why?

Now he invited himself, I couldn't say no.

I can't get rid of you.

Alright, cheers mate.

You can start from where Finn left off.

Pizza's on its way boys.

Awesome.

Hey, we're in the quarter final now, you know.

No, we're in the semis now.

But we can go back.

Are you kidding? That's four hours of my life on there.

Finn, you can play Nate, he's better than me. Nah, you're alright.

Maybe you can show us what you made of in a bit.

Honestly, you two boys just carry on.

I'll make sure Janice sticks to secretarial duties from now on.

Maybe if we give her a bit more responsibility, she'll be a bit more

Can't deny a girl's got a good heart.

Yeah.

And a great big gob to match.

It's a hospital.

Hello?

I don't know what he thinks. It can't be easy, can it? Somebody telling you to

come and smell.

No, it's not easy for us smelling him. Jessica, did I get you a drink?

I'll have a white wine, please.

Oh, same for me, thank you. Madonna?

Yeah, red wine.

News from the hospital.

Billy's been diagnosed with something called puperal psychosis.

It's quite rare, apparently.

He'll be all right.

They said with the right medication and some proper care, she should be fine.

The doctor said you're going to get plenty of help.

Might take a little bit of time, but we'll get there.

Now we know what's wrong, we can fix it.

And they're not going to take her off me?

No, darling.

Neither am I.

You mean you're not going to adopt Brooke?

No.

I was wrong.

I'm so sorry.

I've been a horrible daughter.

You're a beautiful daughter.

And Brooke's a beautiful granddaughter.

I still want to go back to my little room.

And you will do.

All Brooke's going to remember is how much of a great mum she's got.

You reckon?

I'm always right, mate.

Oh,

get in there, what do we... I absolutely smashed you there, mate.

Where's Finn?

I don't know. He must have gone home.

So... So... Got any more games upstairs?

Very smart, Grantley. Many thanks. Mine cook, cleaner, and general factotum.

Oh, you smell heavenly. Ruby, I would very much like to buy you a drink.

Whatever you want.

Yes, Grantley, you may. Have a white wine, please. Can I give you a hand? Mm

-hmm.

Ah, he looks brilliant.

Don't think I haven't noticed, though, have I?

Let myself go a bit.

Just that, well, with Fleur being where she is and me back and forth after work

to see her, you know. Yeah, well, you know, I don't have very much time. I

understand.

It's not just that, though.

She doesn't know who I am.

So I thought, what's the point in making the effort?

But there is a point Fleur would have hated to think of me in a dirty shirt.

Oh, a large scotch, please, and a dry white wine.

A small one.

Just be honest with yourself.

You've got a problem with it, haven't you?

Just stop trying to pretend that you're cool with me in there, because it's

obvious you're not.

Look, Jonah, I just want my hand to tap the back for myself, okay?

That's all.

What are you doing?

What's going on? What's going on? Oh, I'll tell you what. I want this kept

from my son. This is my son, Josh.

Well, your boy might be a freak, but mine's not.

Look, I've got this gig coming up, yeah? There's mega money in it. No!

Just one more, I promise.

I don't want to do any more. Don't, Bert! It doesn't work like that, babe.

No, I reckon me and your mum would get on.

Stay away from my mum.

Be worried you might find out what our little girl's been up to all the time.

Yeah, soldiers who have risked their lives for us, but some return just to

struggle with their own.

Forgotten Heroes next.

A new series on BBC Two now, Neil Oliver Traces Our Being, back to the ice age.
