The good news is, the lump is benign.

Thank you, Doctor.

I've got to change my lifestyle, obviously.

I'm here for you.

She's amazing.

She deserves a bit of PLC.

Sounds like you're in for a fun night. We are getting a surprise visit from the

Educational Authority.

This is Selina Wilson.

I was invited to tag along because of the proposed merger. If we are going to

avoid this merger, then we all have to step up. I try and keep my professional

and my private life separate.

Hiya, Mum. How are you?

I've just started my new job.

It's in London.

It's not how it looks.

You had another text saying come to the locker, I saw. OK.

I did.

I deleted it.

Bonnie, Helen!

What? Bonnie,

I didn't do it! I swear to God!

Good luck, team.

To battle.

Right. Time to unleash hell. We need 2 ,000 signatures, OK?

How many have we got already?

Less than half that.

Come on.

Chop, chop.

Put your knife faces on.

Good lad. Away.

Would you like to sign this petition to save Waterloo Road School? It's a good

cause.

Say that as a maybe, then.

Hopeless.

Justin still insists he's innocent. What if he didn't do it?

Yeah, I don't like it any more than you do, and I am finding it hard to accept

that our son would be capable of doing anything like that to anyone, but we

to face it.

We know he has anger problems.

Yes, but the therapy was going really well. You said so yourself.

I said lots of things, but let's look at the facts.

He had a relationship with Bonnie. That relationship ended badly. So it doesn't

mean I started sending you abusive texts.

He was caught red -handed with defaced photos of her. The police found the

of an abusive text on his phone, which he does not deny writing, using the same

language as the cyberstalker.

I've got Bonnie's parents on my case, rightly.

We need to think about that.

But to exclude him from Waterloo Road.

To think of the impact that will have on his future. He's our son, Bourne.

I have to try to be professional about this.

I have to do everything by the book.

Hey, you know... Listen, why don't they believe it isn't you?

I don't know, mate.

Seems you're guilty till you're proven innocent around there. Well, you've got

to say something.

Try it.

No one listens.

Justin, you'll have to stay here for now.

I'll pick you up later and bring you into school.

Oh, just to be officially kicked out?

I'm afraid so. I really don't see why Justin has to leave.

Surely you can give him another chance. It's your school.

There is nothing I would rather do, but given what happened, I can't. My hands

are tied. But what if it isn't him?

Leo.

You're wasting your time, mate.

Come on.

Let's go.

Don't forget your phone.

That's fine, I've got it.

No, Leo.

It's here.

Right.

Cheers.

Don't be ridiculous.

Didn't have you down as a campaigner.

Then again, I didn't have you down as a crazy cybersporker either.

I don't think Justin did it.

He wouldn't. I think he's innocent.

Well, you're the only one that thinks that.

There's a really romantic fish restaurant down where the fish run.

Could go there next time.

Oh, there's going to be a next time.

So my endless work chat didn't put you off.

Put that down to her first date nerves.

It was a date, was it?

I think so, wasn't it?

I suppose so.

Good.

So how about doing it again?

Tonight? You're on.

Who's that?

That's my husband.

Um...

Ex -husband, sort of.

It's complicated.

No stranger?

Okay, no.

Who have you been?

What do you want?

I was just checking to see if you were okay.

I can't believe it was just me.

Nothing's changed.

I was getting a little bit mad. No, I mean between you and me.

I'm still here for you as a friend if you need me.

Oh, hello.

You better not be buffering her.

How is that freaky brother of yours, by the way?

Still stalking, is he? No, he's not actually.

So back off.

Just saying.

Well, don't.

Leave it.

It's not useful.

I'm the same gene pool, though, is it?

I'd watch him if I was you.

Sorry.

Are you being okay with you?

Not giving you a hard time or anything?

You know, because of... Chuffed in.

No, it has been fine.

You have no right to turn up here without morning.

That's what I meant to do.

No address, no phone number.

I want you to leave. Now.

Like you did.

Just like that. Like saying a word.

I know things weren't great between us, but you just walked out the door after

three years of marriage.

No note, no message, no sign to say you were at least okay.

I was worried.

You said just now things weren't good between us.

I was stressed.

Not anymore.

Really? What's changed?

Sold the company.

Yep. To some PR conglomerate, snuffling up smaller agencies like mine.

I messed up, okay? And after you left... I thought about everything.

You know, tried to work out exactly what it was I wanted.

And it's simple.

You.

I haven't come here to argue or fight.

I came to ask for a second chance.

A lot's happened.

I know.

Look, take your time. I'm staying in a hotel down the road.

I know you've got a merger going on.

Kim told me about it. I find, by the way. Good man.

I hope you're not the only one.

Born Fitzgerald.

Rob.

Heard about the merger you're up against.

It's a shame. Yeah, tell me about it. We've got a meeting tomorrow. It's our

last chance to stop it, haven't we?

You want me to get it in the local papers tonight?

Rob used to run a company that ran charity press campaigns.

Really? Yeah.

You can do with someone like you.

I'm just visiting.

Though I could call a couple of contacts if you want.

Actually, he's my husband.

I'm sure I remember you telling me you weren't in a relationship at all. Yeah,

know, but me and Rob were kind of estranged at the moment. Oh, we were,

you asked him to help out. You all but offered him a job. Yeah, I'm sorry. It

just seemed to make sense.

He didn't even know he was in the area.

So what does he want?

To patch things up.

You're not sure? I don't know. It's all a bit of a surprise at the moment. How

would you feel if your estranged partner suddenly turned up out of the blue?

Well, it took a bit of getting used to, but I think I coped pretty well.

How is Olga coping about Justin?

Devastated.

We both are.

What's this I hear about you wooing the Wicked Witch yourself, Selina Wilson?

I don't know what you mean.

Well, she is the person who tomorrow will be leading the council's

for the merger.

What are you up to, George?

Jockeying for a position at Have a Look?

I can't imagine anything being further from my mind.

Then why are you seeing her?

Because, strange as it might seem, I'm fond of her.

Now, if there's nothing else, I will bid you good morning. Actually, there is.

Bonnie Kincaid needs our support, and I believe you've bonded with her recently,

too.

I did warm to Bonnie.

when everyone else seemed to think she was a devil incarnate. I can't imagine

why that struck a chord. But it was a momentary lapse, and it won't happen

again. Bonnie needs our help.

See what you can do, OK?

So what's this?

No little sidekick to pander to your every whim?

Oh, you mean Guy?

No, he ain't into a second period.

You, um... You don't think Guy is gay, do you?

Um, well, having heard some of his record collection when he was staying

me, I would say that it's probably a race for uncertainty.

How'd you get on?

Yeah, got robbed with a 1500 mark.

Excellent. How'd you manage that?

Leg walk.

Darren, Jardine Close, number one, two...

85. All signed, sir.

They feel very strongly about it, sir. It's part of their community.

Jardine close to the cul -de -sac.

Ten houses tops.

Is it?

Yeah, and I don't know the area, but I doubt very much Mr. F.

Spielberg lived there.

Boys, a fake petition is not going to help us. It doesn't work like that. Out.

We're only trying to help. Look, I didn't... Out!

They're keen.

I'll give them that.

Hey, sorry to interrupt.

It's fine. How did you get on?

I've got some journalists and maybe a news outlet that might be interested if

you had the right story.

Go on.

OK, to save the school, you're going to need to turn a campaign.

And to do that, you need a story to break.

Something with a positive spin on the school.

Ideally on the local news tonight and hidden in the papers tomorrow morning.

Anything else we can do?

You could up the campaign generally, I guess. One final push.

In what kind of ways? Well, a couple of things struck me, but I need to talk to

everyone about what to do.

That might be a bit much.

No, this is really helpful.

Isn't it, Laura? I mean, Rob's here, he wants to do whatever he can to help.

It's literally today and tomorrow.

I'd be only happy to help.

But it's up to you, really.

Your call.

Yeah, whatever.

Do what you need to.

You OK?

Why didn't you tell me?

It didn't seem relevant.

You've been on a date?

I'm sorry, I had no idea it was about to turn up.

I haven't seen him in four months.

Look, seriously, it's fine.

You and I only went for a drink, so... Which is great.

It's no big deal, really.

And... it's none of my business.

So don't worry about me.

Oh!

So Justin's not coming in then?

He'll be in later.

He knows he's being excluded.

What, they're kicking him out?

I don't get it. I mean, we've all just done some pretty stupid stuff, but

cyberbullying?

I don't believe you do that. Do you?

No, I don't.

So... I mean, if it isn't him, what's to stop the real culprit from starting off

again? He's not going to do that, is he?

How do you know that?

I might just say he.

Or she.

No, you just wouldn't, would you?

You'd lay low.

What, and let Justin take the rap?

It's a bit sick, though, isn't it?

No, maybe we should warn Bonnie. No.

She's upset as it is.

Telling people isn't going to help.

If I was there, I'd want to know if the wrong person had been caught.

Yeah, but we don't know that for sure, do we?

You just said... Can we just leave it?

I've got to go.

Yeah, real.

Are you sure?

I know. I would never have said you've been, not in a million years.

Are you sure it was him?

100 %?

Yeah, I'm sure.

See?

I told you you were out and alone.

Shut up, Scott.

It's not like you to stick up for bullies.

Hey, can you go over for me?

What? Just say I've got a migraine or something.

Hey.

Sorry I didn't see you this morning. Bit of a lie -in.

Shall we try that new pizza place tonight?

Who's we?

Is it me, you and your new boyfriend?

I saw you letting him out of the flat this morning.

Look, maybe I should have said something, and I am sorry.

I definitely should have asked before someone came over.

Yeah.

Maybe you should have said something, because I thought, you know, that there

was something... Oh, please don't make me say it.

Oh, oh, God, no.

Oh, thanks very much. Sorry, that came out wrong.

I really thought you liked me. I do.

I do really like you, just not in that way.

But you've had a right laugh, haven't you?

Silly old Sonia didn't realise, did she? Got it completely wrong.

Now I've made a terrible mistake.

I've had enough.

I've had enough of you and I've had enough of all this cancer stuff and

all your fault as well.

All my fault, what?

What do you mean, all my fault? How can your illness be my fault?

Just forget it.

OK, wait.

I am sorry if I accidentally misled you, but what is going on?

I didn't mean for it to get this far.

I honestly didn't, I swear.

OK, for what to get this far?

What's going on?

I found a lump under me arm.

And Maggie and Audrey made me go to the doctor.

Everyone was so concerned and so kind.

When I got back from the test, you saw me.

And you just assumed the worst, but... ..it made me feel like I mattered to

Sonia, what are you saying?

I'm saying... I ain't got cancer.

What?

It was all a lie.

I don't... I don't understand.

Why would you do that?

Why would anyone do that? Why would you lie about something like that? I was

just so confused.

And it all got out of control. I never meant for it to get this... Honestly, I

swear. But the longer it's gone on, the harder it's been to tell the truth.

It's a complete flippant nightmare and I wish I'd never even gone through with

it.

Please just say something.

You think I'm a terrible person, don't you?

Well, you'd be right.

So, you're going to be OK?

No.

No, I'm not going to be OK because I'm going to go to hell and you lot are

to hate me forever.

Help wise.

Yeah.

Silly thing is, I've actually never been better.

So, great news.

It is and it isn't.

What are we going to do, guys?

I have to be quick.

Wasn't expecting to see you here.

Yeah, I bet you weren't. It's not every day your ex gets outed as a techno

stalker.

So you believe it was me too?

Wouldn't be her if I did.

Right, so Bonnie thinks it was you and you did ditch her about the time the

started.

Doesn't mean it was me.

Yeah, but the school must have something else on you though, right?

They've got a text that I drafted to Bonnie but never sent.

Matches one the stalker sent her.

In what way?

I called her a dirty, stinking skank.

Charming. Yeah, well, I was angry, all right. I just found out she got off with

Scott. But anyway, that doesn't mean it was me who abused her. Whoever it was is

still out there.

I think it could be Leo.

No way.

Leo? He wouldn't. Well, then why's he got two phones?

And he loves his big brother, right? And he agrees with me that he didn't do it,

but he won't help me do something about it.

In what way? I said that we should warn Bonnie that she still might be a target,

but he didn't want to.

And instead of helping you, he's busy cosying up to her. I mean, what's that

about? But that doesn't mean he's guilty.

He's always liked her.

Well, there you go, then.

Worth finding out, isn't it?

Oh, Bonnie.

I think this is where I'm meant to tell you that this is the first day in the

rest of your life, or some such similar claptrap.

But you're not going to.

No, no, I am.

So your nightmare is over, but if you need me for anything at all, ever, you

know where I am.

I've got your back, as I think you young people say to each other.

Thanks.

One last piece of crucial advice, though.

Don't sit there too long, you'll get piles.

Come on, George.

We need someone to put staff in.

What for?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Thank you all for coming.

I'd like to introduce you to Rob Hutchinson.

He's a PR expert who's very kindly agreed to help us with our campaign.

He also happens to be Lorna's husband.

Nice to meet you all.

Never mentioned the husband?

Well, we're both very private.

I wouldn't know.

Or unhappy.

Why not, wouldn't she say?

Of course, or what?

Well, one's obviously misbehaved.

I don't think that is a place to stay in, but... Code being married?

Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

What's Cyber Clank doing back here?

What, you got kicked out, weirdo?

Just ignore them. Keep going.

Bonnie, I didn't do it. I swear, I didn't.

Go away. Leave me alone.

Then leave it. Bonnie, I wouldn't do something like that. You know I

Stay here, all right?

Sure.

Last thing I want to do is see anyone, right?

See,

you need to play to your strength. And we don't have any.

On the contrary, you have one very powerful one. And what would that be?

Your wife?

As fabulous as she is, it's not her.

You have an army of soon -to -be disenfranchised kids.

Even better, you have a deadline.

That's a good thing.

Absolutely.

24 hours.

24 hours you have to mobilise them and generate some noise.

Well, the kids can do that all right.

Yes, they're good at shouting and fighting.

They are going to win the hearts and minds of the community.

How? By sending emails to the local MP, to his rivals, to every newspaper in the

area. Personal stories. Make it a creative writing exercise.

One heart -wrenching story can change everything.

Do you think, could I do something in my history class that might help? Of

course, Audrey.

For this event tomorrow, every classroom needs to show the school off. I want a

history project on walls.

Timeline displays going down the corridors.

Art and design. Make some posters.

Who does languages?

Yes, George.

Get the kids to email schools in France, asking them to send messages of support

to the local council.

You need to make people want to help the school, not feel like they have to.

Appeal to their generosity, not their guilt.

Their choice, let them make it.

In the meantime, I'll try and whip up something for the press.

Sonia can help with contact.

Great. Let's do this.

What?

What's that, Russ?

Seem happy, of course it is. Oh, you can talk.

You've sat through that looking like you're trotting or something.

I have.

Optimism. I thought Rob was rather good. So did I.

Maybe we can pull this out the bag after all, eh, George?

Er, Mr Hutcherson?

Maggie Budge in Home Ec.

Oh, of course.

How can I help, Maggie?

I think what you're doing for us is amazing, and we're all up for helping,

go easy on Sonia.

Sonia? Sure.

Really fond of her. So it's best not to overload her.

Because? She wouldn't want you to know. She's being really brave about it, but

she's not being well.

Kaiser.

Diagnosed just recently.

She's coping fine.

In fact, it's amazing. Someone like Sonia, OK, who you'd think would fall to

pieces, she's actually being a right little star about it.

Really?

Wake up.

I'm sorry, but I've got to ask you this.

Was it you?

With what, me?

This cyber freak.

No! How could you think that? What?

How could I think that my little kid brother could be such a creep?

How could I think that my little kid brother would stalk a girl online and

let me get excluded for it? You think I wouldn't?

Yeah.

That's what I thought.

Then I remembered how much you liked the new Bonnie, Leo.

How you were when you first laid eyes on her.

Smitten, weren't you?

No.

Well, I mean, I bet you wanted to go out with her, right?

Except you didn't get to, did you?

I did.

And Scott did. In fact, he put herself about a little bit.

Why?

Bothers you, does it?

Of course she's available now, though, mate.

No obstacles in the way.

Leo.

All that stuff with the phone this morning.

You got another one, yeah?

Why would I have another phone?

Leo.

Kenzie saw it. What do you mean Kenzie saw it?

Has it got to do with her, why she's sticking her beak in?

Tell me, mate.

Was the plan always to screw me over? No, of course not.

Was that an admission?

Nothing. I wouldn't do that to you. You're my brother.

Exactly. I know you, mate.

I know you better than anybody knows you. Just shut up.

Shut up. Why should I, Leo?

I'm the one who's getting excluded.

Why is everybody having a go at me?

First I had Lisa and Shazney and now I've got you and Kenzie.

Why can't you all just leave me alone? Because you did it.

Didn't you?

Justin.

You've got to believe me. I wouldn't do that.

I didn't do it.

You OK?

Not really.

Look, I'm just trying to help.

I didn't exactly plan for it to happen this way. Well, I just don't like being

the subject of office gossip.

Well, I'm not crazy about the fact you haven't mentioned my existence to

OK, yeah, I probably do owe you an explanation.

But we're not together at the moment.

I know.

Not stupid.

I can see you've taken your wedding ring off.

And I get that the bloke you were with this morning likes you.

That's no big deal. You don't need to explain.

I'm not interested in the last four months.

I'm only interested in the future.

Sonia's prepared you a list of press contacts.

I'll leave you to it. I have the exclusion of a pupil to deal with.

should be kept out of the public eye. Of course. Can I just have a quick word

about you, actually, Sonia?

About me?

See, the good news is I think I know a story that would instantly capture local

media and news interest.

The bad news is you may not want to use it.

I heard about Sonia's illness.

Rob. You could go public with it. The papers would lap it up. Well, never. No

way. You're joking, aren't you?

We can't use someone's illness to help us save the school. I said you might not

want to use it, but why not?

And look, I'm not here to put pressure on anyone, but you asked for my help and

you need to know the facts.

P .A.

With heart of gold, battles illness to save the school she loves.

You were sitting on a story that could swing public opinion behind the school.

could get a press conference arranged in a couple of hours.

I don't understand.

It ain't like I'm a teacher or nothing, is it? That's exactly why it's Goldust.

A normal person suffering with a potentially life -threatening illness.

It's really not that bad.

It ain't got that serious... yet.

Morally, we can't do that. I agree.

OK. Had to mention it.

I just thought, you know, it wouldn't be exploiting Sonia's illness. It would be

a way of turning a negative into a positive.

How do you mean, exactly?

Just that maybe some good could come out of it. We can't expect Sonia to use her

illness like that.

If it might save the school, maybe I could.

Really? It's up to you.

I... I will.

I'll do it.

Are we really going to let Sonia become the poster girl for this campaign?

It's her choice.

I'll ask Rob to help us and then ignore it, I think. Good.

Yeah.

Are you ready for this? No.

Can we not talk it through with Justin one more time, just to be sure?

No.

As your headmaster, Mr Fitzgerald has detailed the reasons for your permanent

exclusion in writing.

Accompanying that is a printout of the evidence against you.

We are obliged to hand a copy of this over to the police on any possible legal

action.

If you want to, you can take the matter up with the local authority yourself.

The LEA have been informed and will provide alternative education over the

few days.

You will be escorted from the premises and you must not return.

Your permanent exclusion from Waterloo Road starts as soon as both your parents

have signed.

You're my son, and I love you very much.

If there is anything you can say to convince me that you're innocent,

you can say to stop me signing this piece of paper, then say it now.

I can't emphasize enough the massive effect this will have on your future.

It's now or never.

Is there anything?

Yeah. I admit it.

It was me.

You are so messed up, sicko. She's gone mad. Thank you, Lisa. That's enough.

Freak. Freak.

Freak.

Freak. Freak. Freak. Freak. Freak. Freak.

Freak. Freak. Freak. Freak. Freak. Freak. Freak.

Freak. Freak. Freak.

Freak. Freak. Freak. Freak. Freak. Freak. Freak. Freak.

Freak.

Freak. This is all your fault, you coward.

That's enough. Go back to your classroom.

What's happened? What are you doing? What about Leon?

Just leave it, Princess.

What do you mean, let it go? Why?

This is why.

I can cope with this. He couldn't. He needs help.

I'm going to get it for him. Just... Don't say anything.

Be all right, Mum.

OK?

See you later.

Not really.

I might need your help.

The thing is, things might have just got a little bit more complicated.

I'm not sure that's possible.

Oh, it is.

See, Miss Fitzgerald and Lorna's fella have asked if the school can use me and

my illness for a press conference.

And you said no, right?

Well, that's just it.

They've said it might help save the school. They said yes. Tell me you did

say yes. I thought it might help.

Sonia, what have you done?

Are you okay?

That can't have been easy for you, Anna.

Yeah, it wasn't.

Do you want me to sit with you for a bit?

Like you said, we can still be friends, can't we?

Unless that's a problem.

Maybe we should leave it.

I'm sorry.

You can't go in there. Watch me.

You got the wrong person.

Justin's admitted it. Go back to your class, Candy. But he didn't do it. He's

just saying he did it to protect that stupid brat of a brother.

You got the wrong son.

Justin's covering for Leo. Can't you see?

Well, don't you want to see what's staring you in the face? Out!

I just wanted to see how things are going. Everything okay?

Yeah, fine.

Listen, I'm sorry about all this stuff at drop.

I couldn't exactly say no. Hopefully you have to tomorrow.

What is this about you being married then, mate?

Married? Or do we call you Mrs Hutchinson now?

You don't call me anything.

You're married?

You're quite a hunk from what I hear.

Hey, enough.

It doesn't matter what I am. My private life is none of your business.

Brilliant. Well done. I love it.

Show

your

placards, everyone.

Everyone's done a great job by the look of it.

They've really responded.

We've definitely made an impact.

Which is a good thing, isn't it?

And on that front, I was coming to find you.

The press and the local news have bitten big time.

Press conference at the end of play today.

Got a haul we can use?

Yeah, of course.

That's great news.

Thank you.

No probs.

Should be jam -packed.

This school means a lot to you, doesn't it?

Yeah, it does.

And I forgot to congratulate you.

Deputy Head, now I gather.

You've really been thriving in my absence.

I'm doing my best.

You OK to introduce the press conference?

Sure.

Everything all right?

Yeah.

Can I get you a coffee?

No.

Is it me, or is there a whiff of testosterone in the air?

I don't know what you mean.

Well, since Rob turned up, you've looked rather crestfallen.

Anyone would think you and Lorna were, you know.

Well, we'll never know now, will we?

Meaning?

We went out the other day. We're maybe going to start dating.

Well, there's no flies on you, are there?

Over me so soon?

It's not funny.

Okay, sorry.

So Lorna didn't mention she was married when you went out?

No. Not a word.

I wonder why.

What do you think of him?

I haven't really thought about it.

But to be honest, it's none of my business.

I guess if he's trying to help, good on him.

Oh, come on. Don't be so grown up.

Flag him off a bit.

No, thanks.

Not my style.

Wow. You really do like her, don't you?

Hi.

You OK?

I wanted to see you.

It's about Jonathan.

Maybe we can help him, but I need to ask you some questions.

OK. I want to make a list of all the possible reasons it couldn't be him.

Except I can't think of any.

He wouldn't do something like that.

Yeah, that's not really good enough. We're family.

We would say that. I need something specific.

Um, right. What about the language of the text?

What about it?

All those sort of text phrases.

They're like words as numbers and stuff.

Everybody uses them, except him. He hates them.

Does it make it harder to understand what people are trying to say?

Um... Those messages that were sent to Bonnie, words as numbers and

all that... Yeah?

How did you know some of them were written like that?

when he showed them to me.

We're kind of good friends.

I see.

Lorna, I need to pop out for a few minutes. You might need to stand in for

the press conference.

Okay, if you need me to. Don't you want to be there? Yes, but there's something

I need to look into.

Anything I can help with? I don't think so, no.

Honestly, there's nothing to it, all right? Just relax and be yourself.

I'll be beside you the whole time.

Don't worry, OK?

Thanks, Rob. No problem.

Brave lady.

That is commitment there.

Shame she's wasting her time.

Nice to meet you. I think she's going to do it.

I feel it in my waters.

I think you'll find that's incontinent, Audrey.

More to the point, have we figured out the dirt on Rob and Lorna yet?

Not yet.

Still trying to work that one out.

Looks like you've got company, George.

Hmm?

If you'll excuse me.

Thanks for the call.

Good to see firsthand what you and us are up to.

Couldn't agree more.

Hey, how's it going? I'm Robert Chisholm. Hopefully you're finally done

Your husband certainly knows how to whip up publicity.

Is he almost this dynamic?

Pretty much. Must be exhausting.

It has its challenges.

Anything I can help with, either about Rob or Marco, he's pretty keen on you.

I know.

Look, it's none of my business, but if you ever need a sympathetic ear, you

where to come.

Thank you.

Hey, shoes on. You're coming back to school with me.

Dad, do you want me to get beaten up or something?

Did you see that mob up there? There is a press conference going on. No one will

see you. Come on, move.

Yeah, hi. I'll get it. It's me.

I'm going to need your help with something.

It's about the kids.

And I need you to be strong.

Come on, move.

Yes, yes, yes.

Come on.

It's the school that's important, not me.

It's the school that's helped so many.

That's why Waterloo Road must survive.

Why does the school mean so much to you, exactly?

Well, the school's always been great to me.

But ever since I first discovered I had a little bit of an illness, everyone's

been truly wonderful.

Sonia, Sonia.

Sonia! Sonia!

Sonia! Sonia!

Sonia! Sonia! Sonia!

Sonia! Sonia!

Sonia! Sonia!

Sonia! Are you going to tell me what's going on, Deb?

What is going on?

We need to do this now.

Sit down.

What?

Sit down.

I want you to show me how you sent those messages to Bonnie.

I just did it the normal way.

Okay, but then you would have had to reroute them so they looked as though

came from a different IP address. Bonnie's deframer, right? So how did you

that, technically?

Show me.

What does it matter?

I confess, didn't I? Yeah, but you could be lying, you could be covering up for

someone, whereas if you show me how to reroute emails and texts, then I'll

believe you.

So show me.

Of course, you're not the first person to be associated with Waterloo Road to

affected by cancer, are you?

I'm sorry, can you repeat the question, please?

There was a pupil several years ago, Sambuka Kelly, who died of brain cancer.

I read up about her. It was very moving.

You've heard of her, I take it?

Um, she was, um... She was before my time.

But I remember hearing that she was very brave.

Just like you're being.

Well, I... Not really.

How do you manage to remain strong?

And how does it feel to be so cherished?

I don't think I can do this.

Can we get some more water over here, please?

What's the matter?

Don't know how.

I think you finally lost it, Dad.

You've got your confession?

No, I've got a confession.

But not from the real cyberstalker.

What did Leo... Vaughan, what is this?

Leo?

You sat back and watched Justin take the blame for you. Not like that, Dad.

Didn't you?

He didn't do it, all right? It was me.

We'll support you like we did before. We'll support each other like a family,

but you have to acknowledge what you've done.

Vaughan. Do you know what you're saying?

Yeah. He's got it wrong, as usual.

No, not this time. This time I'm right.

Leo? Justin wasn't supposed to get the blame.

It was me.

I did it.

I didn't mean to hurt Bonnie.

I just wanted to make her think.

And then I couldn't stop.

Leo, you made her life a misery.

I didn't mean to.

I was so good to her to start with, not like anyone else.

And I didn't even make it onto her radar.

I didn't even get her looking.

Just once, it would have been nice to be noticed.

Meaning what, exactly?

I have always been second choice.

Invisible.

The one that no one worries about.

And it is so easy for you.

Everyone thinks Leo's okay.

He'll be fine.

But I'm not.

Look, I'm sorry, everyone.

Sonia is clearly a little upset.

As you can imagine, this is very emotional for her, now that another

been mentioned.

That's not it.

It's, uh... It's that Zambuca, well... Well, she was for real.

See, the thing is... Sometimes... You get misunderstood.

And you honestly don't know why, and before you know where you are,

got out of hand.

I've grown so much since I got to Waterloo Road.

And if there's one thing the school's taught me, it's to always tell the

And the truth is, I'm not ill.

I ain't really got cancer.

I had the all -clear ages ago and I just didn't tell anyone.

And I'm really sorry.

From the bottom of my heart, I'm so sorry.

I can't believe she did that. It's well out of order.

It's appalling.

She'll be lucky to get out of here alive.

What's Justin done here? He's not supposed to be here.

I thought he was gone for good.

Bonnie, I'm sorry. There's been a mistake.

What do you mean, a mistake?

It wasn't Justin.

It was Leo.

Tony?

You said it was over.

Yes, I know.

You said it was over.

And it will be.

When?

When? Tell me. I can't... I can't trust anyone.

I don't... I don't know what to do. I... I can't deal with this.

Look, I'll... I'll get someone.

You're going to sort this out once and for all.

I will make this up to you.

Never mind me.

It's him that needs you.

Ron.

Ron, we've got a bit of a problem here. The press conference didn't end very

well. I'm sorry, I've got to go. No, no, we need you here to help smooth things

over. I'm sorry, I can't.

Ron, the press want to talk to the head. We've got quite a situation developing.

I don't care. My family need me.

They come first.

I just couldn't.

Okay.

You did the right thing. I'm proud of you.

Yeah.

Everyone's going to hate me.

What are the papers going to say?

Listen, anything you can do, we really appreciate it.

Come to gloat about the campaign?

No. I'm sorry about your press conference.

And it seems I was wrong about your ex.

Yeah, you were.

Does this open the door for him again, then?

What's it to you?

Nothing.

Hooray!

So, they got their story, just not the one we wanted.

Damage limitations now.

Well, you did your best. It can't have been easier for you.

I've had better press conferences.

But it was just a setback. Tomorrow is another day.

And it's D -Day for the merger. And we're going to be all over the news for

the wrong reasons.

Thank you for trying, at least. No need. I mean, no, I'm in this for the long

haul. With the school and with you.

You know me, I love a challenge.

And I screwed up before.

And lost the best thing I had.

Don't want to do that again.

Rob?

I'm, uh... So sorry I messed things up earlier.

I really didn't mean to.

Really?

I wanted to help.

I really did, but I couldn't stand up and lie in front of all them people. It

had all gone too far.

I had to own up. Did you know?

And you think that's fine, do you?

Because it's so not.

I'm sorry.

I know.

And I know I haven't helped the school much. Oh, forget that.

I don't care about the school.

Or its poxy campaign.

I don't give a damn about any of that.

But you made a fool of me.

No one does that.

I honestly didn't... Just shut up, will you?

I mean, what sort of person fakes cancer anyway?

You're really such a sad, worthless loser who felt the need to do that.

So lonely.

No friends.

No personality.

No life.

So you invent an illness that gets sympathy.

Well, how pathetic's that?

I'll tell you what, from now on, you better keep out of my way.

Because you mess with me again, and I will break you.

And you will not survive.

You really do have a problem, don't you? With you, yeah.

I don't like you and I don't trust you.

You're going nowhere. Get off me. Come on.

Don't touch me. Have you seen this? Staff member lies about cancer.

Morning, Gail.

Waterloo Road just made our job today a whole lot easier.

It's the public consultation and you are presenting our case.

I'm finished.

The sword is finished too.

So Waterloo Road's presentation isn't even going to be done by its headmaster?

I'm sure we'll cope.

It's plan B.

That ain't direction.

What are you doing?

Get off me!

What?

Tomorrow night here on Three, it's enough to put you off your fish fingers.

World's toughest job goes crawler fishing in the Arctic Circle at nine.

That's followed by comedy. Watch out, ladies. Andy and Errol are off to a

Halloween party at school.

New uncle at ten.
