Are you aware that George Winder isn't
qualified to keep command of it? This is

a link of all our great movies.

You sure about this? You want to make a
formal complaint?

Yeah. When I get this job, and I will
get it, those two will be history.

They cook anything.

I don't care what my mum thinks, it's
what I want to do.

You'll be brilliant.

Seaweed badger.

Mmm! I'm still hoping you'll go down a
more academic route.

Thank you!

I'll be in competitive form at the end
of the training camp. Ready to try out

for national level? Well, fly halfway
across the world.

If you don't sign these forms and let
her go, you will lose her. Maybe for

Sure this is what you want?

What do you think you're doing?

Hey! Excuse me.

Who are you?

Frankie McGregor, supply teacher.

Oi! Let him do it.

Down your knees, put that stuff back in
the bag.

What, are you going to make me? I can
take it from here, Mr McGregor. The

got to put the stuff back in the bag,
and I'm going to stand here till he's

it.

Mr McGregor.

Christine Mulgrew, acting headteacher.
Hi.

I think I've already met her deputy,
Simon Mulgrew.

Give it back, nicely.

Let's come with me.

I'll get to registration then.

Come on, people.

You know, the girls in Miami are
expected to do this distance every

Really? Under 30 minutes.

My best is 33 .43.

Whether you're tagging along, I'm going
to miss registration.

You're the one who wants to spend some
quality time with your big brother.

I can't wait.

It's actually happening.

I'm going to be in Miami.

I'll change the record case.

What did you say?

It's just a place, isn't it?

You don't even know anyone.

But you'll be there on the first plane
back.

No, I won't. Whatever.

Barry, are you jealous?

Why would I be jealous of you?

You are.

Honestly.

Barry. What?

Love you.

I can see you don't have a problem
dealing with challenging pupils.

I reckon teachers that have a problem
with discipline are the ones that try to

relate too much. Pupils need guidance
and reassurance, but they also respond

a firm approach.

Sorry, bit of a rant.

Connor.

Connor!

Oh, she's a pupil.

Oh, she's son.

Hell -bent on making a stupid career
choice.

I mean, why? Why, when he's university
material, would he be dead set on

chopping on for the rest of his life?

Sorry. No, I'm ranting.

I think university qualifications are
the guarantee of a job.

People are always going to want to eat.

Are you always this insightful?

Listen, I know you haven't got any
classes for the first few periods. How

sitting in with another teacher?

That would be good to get a feel of the
place.

Fourth year physics with one of our
NQTs, a Mr. Clark.

Great, I can pick up some tips.

Actually, I think she would benefit from
working with someone with save avatar.

You flatter me.

In fact, I'd be very interested in your
feedback.

Don't you?

I thought this would be in a minute
before five -two.

Morning, all.

This is Frankie McGregor, new supply
teacher for science.

He's covering for Alex's maternity
leave, so he will be with us for quite a

months. Please make him welcome, and if
you see him in the corridors looking

lost, point him in the right direction.

Christine.

You know I've been in touch with Nicola
Adams' management?

Well, I've just taken a call.

She's in Glasgow today for a meeting and
she's willing to come and meet Katie

this afternoon.

She's even suggested that they have a
training bout. Well, it's too good an

opportunity to miss, isn't it?

The boxing gold medalist. Wow, that's
great PR for the school. And Katie

She's showing real boxing potential.

She's heading for a training camp in
America next week. We're really proud of

her. At least we'll have some good news
for her mum. I've had to call her in

this morning.

Why, is there a problem?

Yeah. We've totally underestimated the
accommodation cost.

Well, maybe we could use this visit to
front me.

I used to fundraise for my friends'
football team, so I need a hand. Are you

serious? I usually have to nag people
for help.

Great, well, I'll catch you later.

Don't want to be late for Mrs. Barry.

You've no idea who I bought them off
this evening.

Maybe it's about me going to America.

She'll have heard about my accommodation
by now. I haven't been dragged into

your bad behaviour.

I haven't done anything.

Why do you always think that it's me
that's in trouble? Oh, let me just

have to get my tea mushrooms.

All right.

All right? And you better watch your
step.

Absolutely. If Steph might do this to me
again, you'll have me to answer too.

Right.

See, there's nothing I need to know.

I said, didn't I?

Oh, she shoots!

Oh, she scores!

Get in there, lad!

I can't do it. Oh, Lenny, your sister's
so cute when she's angry. Oh!

Pick on one city, you pick on us all.

That is what heaven tastes like. I
ground the head on the almonds myself,

like he showed me. Your mum's going to
have to watch her wait if she's tasting

all your efforts.

She doesn't. Well, she doesn't know what
she's missing.

She doesn't care.

She thinks, Colin, I should go to
university.

Have you talked to her about it
properly?

She won't listen.

Give her a chance, right?

Let her have her say first, right?

And then she'll be more likely to listen
to you.

Sonia, can you put together a poster
about Nicola Adams' visit? Nicky has all

the info. Nicola Adams?

Ain't that the ginger one from Girls
Aloud?

No, she's a boxer, a gold medalist.
She's going to do a demo with Casey.

Oh, and don't put them up until Nicky's
told Casey, OK? OK.

Shall we?

Sure.

So, did you speak to our new science
teacher?

The irritatingly enthusiastic Mr
McGregor, yes, I did.

I think he's good news.

I put him into third class.

I thought it'd be interesting to see
what goes on in there.

Think you might create a little
memorandum of your own?

Perhaps.

Sorry, I was chasing kids into
registration.

Um, I was just telling George about our
new supply.

I don't think he'll have a problem with
discipline.

I thought he was a little heavy -handed
this morning, actually. His idea of

discipline looked more like
intimidation.

Well, I was impressed.

He's got some excellent fundraising
ideas. Maybe you could pick up a few

from him.

Anything that'll help?

Help what? Claw your way to the top?

George? Well, you're saying what we're
both thinking.

A pretty shabby way to behave.

Assembling a secret dossier. And tell
me, are you upset for Christine's sake?

because the main cause of complaint was
your fraudulent Mandarin teaching?

Okay, that's enough.

Let's get through this meeting without
any more bickering.

Two letters from parents taking their
kids out of Waterloo Road.

Maisie Evans and Peter Stern.

Why? I had high hopes for them.

As did we all.

But who can fathom the whims of parents?

Especially the parents of the kids
taking languages.

I feel like I've been landed on you.

No doubt Mrs Mulgrew thought you could
show me the ropes. I probably sent you

spy on me.

Hardly. Get help.

Epical class.

Total nightmare.

Quiet, please. Miss Park said quietly.

So what do you want me to do? Name it.

Um, actually, I've got quite a bit of
marking to catch up on. Great. And

than us falling all over each other,
would you be happy to take the class?

Sure, I can muddle through.

Great. We were doing speed, distance and
acceleration.

Do you want to get a coffee in the staff
room? I don't want to have our dear

leader accusing me of bunking off.

So no.

OK, my name's Winston McGregor.

I'm going to get your jotters out so I
can see how far you've got.

Who's going to tell me what you've
learned so far?

God, he really is a pointless little...
Well, we did give him ammunition.

And the truth is, I should never have
covered up for you.

Yeah, well, I'm sorry about that,
really.

But I'll make it up to you. I'll get
things back on track.

Don't you worry.

Good, because I've got a dossier the
length of my arm sitting in the LA

with your fraudulent Mandarin classes
topping it.

Are you kidding me?

You're saying you've got a gold medalist
coming to do a bit of boxing with our

Casey?

Is this a wind -up? No.

God hand it to you, Miss Barton. It's
done good by our girl.

There is something else I needed to
speak to you about.

Oh, I knew it.

I knew this was too good to be true.
Right, what's our Barry done this time?

Nothing.

It's about Casey.

I think I may have underestimated the
accommodation costs.

Well, you think.

You do know.

There's a short form.

Are you saying our Casey can't go to
America?

No. I just wanted to talk to you about
the fundraising.

Look, it has been going really well.

In truth, we could do with some help.

Well, this is a fact.

No complaints about the kid. And you
want my help.

I thought you could get involved in
raising more money.

Does it have to be legal?

Your face.

Listen, I know loads of people who'd be
well chuffed to see Nicola Adams in

action. And trust me, I can get them to
cough up for the privilege. Yeah, I need

to run it past Mrs Mulgrew. And what
about the local boxing club? Hey, give

an invite. They might give us a
donation.

So we did this triangle to show you the
acceleration equation.

Speed change over time equals
acceleration.

I don't get it.

What don't you get?

Acceleration goes back, right? There you
go. You got it. That's acceleration.

No, it's not.

That's not right. Is it myth?

Acceleration's not about speed.

What are you talking about?

Get on with your exercise.

Too much work in here.

Well, my spark's never seen anything
about it.

Typical. No concentration.

That's Lenny's trouble.

But this is the same. Oh, thanks!

Find it hard to concentrate?

It's just shy.

We can't say the same about you.

How about I help you?

You have to let me help you, though, OK?

I'm dead excited.

I've got a crowd to drum up. I do need
to speak to Mrs. Marlborough first. I

can't believe it was so made up for you.

Hi, Casey.

Boxing with an Olympic champion.

What? Mrs. Barry and Nicola Adams are
coming here to Waterloo Road to see you.

Imagine that.

Oh, that's so cool.

I'm sorry, Casey. It was meant to be a
surprise.

I'm sorry.

Me and my big mouth. Is she going to
bring a gold medal? Well, I'd hope so.

I'm getting a crowd together to watch.
How amazing is that?

All right.

I'll talk to you about it more later.

And that's what I love about physics.

Well done.

OK, Nicole likes Bunsen burners. Can
anybody expand on that? Who wants to go

next? How about you?

Me. Come up and tell us what you like
about physics.

I don't. It's rubbish.

Well, you have to find something that's
a point of exercise.

What's going on? Aren't we getting
experiments?

We always get experiments in a double
period.

Sir, one sec.

Miss Spock, I'm not sure what it is you
want me to do or where the equipment is.

Do you want me to set up the pendulum
experiment?

They can do that in bed.

That'd be great.

OK, everybody, in the pairs for the
experiment.

You owe me, Lee.

Yeah, of course.

What are you waiting for? You do me.

OK, Lenny, you can pair up with me.

I'll need you in groups of four for
this.

Remember, this is an exercise to test
your understanding of grammar, which

hopefully will be rather better in
French than your somewhat tenuous grasp

English. What's that, sir?

Is that anything like the tenuous grasp
you have in Mandarin?

It's very droll. Come on, groups of
four.

It's not an excuse to gossip.

Kevin, a word, please.

No, Kevin, here.

You may have heard that the Mandarin
classes have been suspended.

Well, the thing is that I don't like to
let any of the pupils down, so I've come

up with this plan to continue the
classes outside of school hours.

And you want me to help?

Exactly. You, me and Archie Wong.

You mean, like, teach?

I appreciate it will mean giving up some
of your free time.

Yeah, I'd love to. And I realise that it
is a big ask... Sorry?

Yeah, of course.

I'm up for it. Oh, great.

Super. Well, um, it's a bit of a tricky
time for me, I'll admit, so I will be

wanting complete discretion.

Will you be wanting a fee and all?

Well, I heard you're giving Archie Wong
a backhander.

So Kevin will be wanting more.

Sir, our script's fallen over.

Shall I?

Okay, that's enough. Just tie the ball
bearing on.

It hooks on, sir.

That's what I meant. Just do it.

Maybe it's time they collected the data.

Absolutely. OK, everybody, let's write
up what we've observed.

What should we write, sir? You haven't
told us anything.

And that's why it's called an
experiment. You're supposed to deduce

findings. I can't do all the work for
you.

Right,

how about within the other one?

This is for classwork only, though.

No artwork, it's called for. Got it?

I still don't know what to write, sir.

Has Miss Barton not told you how to
report on an experiment?

Come on, you lot, you know this.

You write the list of the apparatus
you've used and you can draw diagrams to

illustrate. And remember to write in the
third person.

Past tense.

It's similar to the marble experiment,
remember?

Write it up in the same way.

And don't forget to use measurement
tables.

When's the big day?

Oh, next week.

I know I said I was marking, it was just
I'm a bit behind with the arrangements.

No worries.

I know you're happy with what I'm doing
with the class.

Absolutely. I'll be a bit rusty.

They're behaving.

That's the main thing.

Quietly! File out.

And listen, write up today's experiment
for next time, okay?

Like I said, get a helper.

If I set up the lesson, would you be
free next period?

I'd really appreciate it.

You're my pleasure.

Mate, I... Is everything OK?

Is it this thing today?

Yeah, it's great, isn't it? But sorry
you got it sprung on you.

I only found out this morning she was
coming.

It's just... I can't get in the ring
with her.

I mean, I'm not ready.

It's OK, Casey, don't worry.

It's not a proper fight, it's just a
demonstration. It's a bit of fun.

But everyone's going to be there.

Yeah, and it'll really help raise your
profile.

Look, the thing is, Casey, we heard
about the accommodation, and it's way

expensive than we thought. So while we
are trying to do our best... And it's

enough money for me to go to America?

No, no, no, no, no. I didn't say that.

It's just this demo will really help
you.

Everybody's really looking forward to
it.

Just need one final push.

Casey?

What's going on?

We are going down the mall at lunchtime.
Me and Shaz are going to nick make -up.

And it goes on there.

It's not your kind of thing anyway.

But we always have lunch together.

One day's not going to kill you.

Have fun on your own, little man.

Claire Adams.

What's bothering you?

Talk to me, Casey.

I'll be fine.

I've got science.

Come with me.

I thought that was what you wanted.

You've got real talent, Casey.

And when I see you in that ring, it just
fits.

How do you know?

How do you know I'm any better than
average?

Of course you're better than average.

Not everyone has to be the best, do
they?

No.

But you wouldn't be happy if you weren't
challenged, would you?

I believe in you.

The whole school.

believes you're destined to be great.

But if you're a fighter, right, if
you're a real proper fighter, you will

through this.

Nicola Adams, do you think that all of
those thousands of people went to the

Olympics to see her?

They came to see her opponent.

But she fought like she didn't care what
anyone thought of her.

Now that is the difference between
someone who is good.

And someone who would champion.

It's not just talent, it's perseverance.

You just don't get it, do you?

See, this is what's freaking me out.

Everyone expecting me to be someone
that's just not me.

Maybe I don't want to leave my friends
and family. Maybe I don't want to fight

Nicola Adams and look like a complete
idiot.

What?

Are you saying you don't want this?

I won't believe it.

We have worked so hard for you to
suddenly turn around and say you don't

it. So when do I say it?

Because I haven't had much chance, have
I?

It seems like it's been more your dream
than mine. What?

You just assumed that I wanted all this.

But you've never actually stopped to
ask, have you?

Are you writing up the experiment?

Can I see?

You know what impresses me the most?

The fact you've made so much effort.

Do you know what Miss Park said when it
had to concentrate?

Ever tried fishing?

Nothing like casting a line out in the
water, waiting for a bite.

Really focuses the mind.

I've never done that.

Your dad will take you.

I don't have a dad.

Takes you a whole other place. You're
away from all your worries.

You like it?

Yeah.

You could teach me.

I could, could I?

Yeah, OK.

Wait, today?

Well, not sure we can...

Yeah, of course. There's this.

I suppose we could nip to the pier at
lunchtime.

I've got my rods in about the car.

For real?

Why not? I need to clear it with Mrs
Mulgrew, but if she's OK, it's a deal.

So, I'll get you in the canteen. We'll
leave soon as.

You sitting in all right?

Yes.

What was that about?

Eh, what? Eh, nothing.

Eh, looking through the clients' work.
I'm trying to help them with

concentration.

So the visit from Nicola Adams will be
this afternoon, and I want to free up

years four, five and six to come and
support it. Oh, and we need a big push

get Casey Barry to Miami.

Has that been OK?

Do you really think this demo's a good
idea?

Is there a problem?

No, it's nothing.

Good. She's so lucky to get this
opportunity.

Christine.

How did it go this morning? I was
wanting to walk.

This might seem like a strange request,
but I was wondering if you'd be OK if I

took Lenny Brown fishing today.

You know, the exhibition fight on, he
wouldn't miss any classes.

What's brought this on?

Seems a little likely.

Miss Bart was saying he's easily
distracted, and I'd like a spot of

help you concentrate.

I appreciate you have a great record
with kids, but a new teacher taking a

out on his own... Fair enough.

Totally understand.

I don't want to make hassle for you, but
Miss Bark... Oh, yeah?

Seems like she doesn't care if Lenny
sinks or swims.

So you didn't find her good with the
students?

I think she's got a lot on her mind. You
know, the wedding.

She's preoccupied.

So you're saying she's more interested
in planning her wedding than teaching

class?

Right, everybody, you can stop rolling
it out now.

Uh -oh. Do you think I'm bothered about
what you're up to?

I'm doing something this lunch anyway.

Let me guess, hanging out by yourself?

No.

I'm going fishing with Mr McGregor,
actually.

Oh, my God, you're so sad.

Talk about saddles. At least I'm not
nicking stuff from the mall.

Simon, Simon, I've been thinking about
favourite, you know, for the table. How

about Little Soap rather than... Sue,
aren't you meant to be teaching?

Well, I've got Frankie McGregor helping
me out. He's great with the kids.

Sue, it's your class.

I've been so much organised for the
wedding.

Get back in there.

OK, first of all, why don't you start me
off by telling me about these

equations? Well, aren't you supposed to
tell us?

I don't mind if we do anything else,
though. But we've got to do equations

our exam.

Well, maybe we could do the pendulum
experiment, gravity and acceleration.

We did that last year.

Quiet! Oh, this is rubbish, this is.

All right, what's the problem?

Mr. McGregor is telling us to stop
wrong, miss. He said V is for velocity.

Just testing you. I'm sure Miss Sparkle
put it right.

V is for voltage, P is for power.

Come on, you lot, wake up.

Are you going to assault on me?

No. You know, she's my little sister.

I like having her around.

She's better company than your brother,
that's for sure.

What?

Excuse me.

Mrs Margaret, can I have a word, please?

You're not going to tell me about this?

Didn't you know? Shouldn't it have come
up at the SMT meeting?

It was a last -minute thing, Simon. I'm
sorry. I thought you knew.

Are you deliberately trying to undermine
me?

Of course not.

You sit there in a meeting, you don't
think you'll tell me about this, and let

George sniper me. It's hardly
professional, is it? Don't let your

You're not dead yet.

Although, no doubt, you think it's only
a matter of time. It seems your plan to

discredit me has worked.

I got the letter from your future father
-in -law this morning, bringing the

headteacher interview forward to next
week.

I didn't know that.

Oh, please, don't insult my
intelligence. You might think I was

in the towel, but you're in for a hell
of a fight.

Hi.

Um, about Colin.

I'm not sure I want to have this
conversation.

He's got talent.

And he's passionate.

And if he decides it's not for him, he
can always go to the only rate.

You're joking me. But you said... I'm
sorry, Sarah.

What's going on there?

It's our new supply teacher.

He wanted to take Lenny fishing.

I put the kibosh on it. You were never
going to take me, were you?

You were just saying that for show.

Lenny Brown, please don't speak to a
teacher like that. It's OK, I've got it.

I know you want to kick off right now.

Just making things worse.

Sit down, we'll talk.

They might not be able to go out right
away, but I can teach you how to tie a

fly to a line.

They're not real flies, are they?

No. That one's a... That's called a baby
old buzzer.

This one's called a beed -eye humongous
lure, and that one's a Bristol hopper.

He's very experienced, you know. I mean,
you were lucky to get him.

Do you think it would do any harm?

The lad's been a bit lost since
Grantley.

Um, OK, you can go. But make sure Sonia
has your mobile number and tell her

exactly where you're going. Right, sure.

I'll expect a trout for my tea.

There you go.

Is that everyone there?

Yep.

Right, thank you for giving up your
lunch break and I hope you've managed to

keep our little meeting to yourself.

What's all the secrecy about, sir?

Well, some of you may have heard the
scurrilous rumour that the teaching of

Mandarin is to be suspended. Now, I have
no intention whatsoever of letting you,

your parents or Mrs Mulgrew down.

Now, whilst these sessions will continue
to be conducted on the QT, I hope

they'll go some way to reassuring your
parents that you're not losing out.

Now, we have a winning team to present
to you. Mr Archie Wong, who is a native

Mandarin speaker.

And despite the slight shadow of doubt
still hanging over my own linguistic

abilities.

I have to say that I did live in
Shanghai for many years, though have

one or two tricks along the way, so to
speak.

Oh, and Mr Kevin Chalk, of course.

You can always be relied upon to bring
it down to your level.

Yep, see, I started learning from
scratch, and I'm pretty hard if I say so

myself. Now, I don't know about you lot,
but I want to give those posh schools a

run for their money.

Yeah.

Yes, well, I wouldn't get too carried
away.

This is Waterloo Road.

Thank

you.

You know, I've been thinking.

The pier's going to be busy this time of
day.

You know the reservoir up the hill?

Yeah. That's the place you want to go if
you want a bag of drinks.

It's right there.

It's quiet.

You don't look happy.

It's Christy. She undermines me at every
turn.

Oh, there's a surprise.

She's got an extra crony now. Your
friend, Mr McGregor.

I wouldn't worry about him. He won't
last.

Once he realises he knows a lot about
science.

Just a bit of detention.

Right.

Has anyone seen Casey?

No,

I just thought we could use Nicola's
visit as extra fundraising.

Perhaps he could help.

I think she just needs to know you all
believe in her.

Look, if you do see her, will you let
her know that I'm looking for her?

Right.

Where do you think you're going?

I need to speak to Miss Boston.

You're in detention.

That's a great idea. Connor could make
some snacks and serve them at the fight.

Maybe I can look through the junction
stuff, find some really good raffle

prizes. Maybe we could print off some
flyers and hand them out in town. That's

very noble of you all, but can we just
return to the task in hand?

If we've got to do it for this
afternoon, then we've got to use all the

Come on, everyone!

Don't... We are supposed to be... Please
don't... All of you...

I think she's just having a bit of a
wobble. What kind of a wobble?

She seems a little bit overwhelmed by it
all. But didn't she say she's spoken to

you? It's all about not wanting all of
this.

What? Now?

Casey's not much of a talker.

I just hope we haven't pushed her too
far and too fast.

I only know rudimentary physics, and
even I know this is total rubbish.

You didn't think to say anything.

Well, Twinkle, he was so good with the
class. You know, you get them interested

and quiet.

The kids loved him. For goodness sake,
Sue, that's no reason for letting him

carry on, is it?

As soon as you thought there was
anything suspect, you should have come

I'm sorry.

I knew there was something funny about
him from the start.

Where are you going?

Twinkle?

What's wrong with your face?

Miss Boston said you've chickened out
that fight with the boxer.

I've chickened out?

I'm just freaked.

I mean, one minute I'm learning to balk,
and the next I'm going to America.

And then it's all about raising money.
All this big fuss.

All over me.

Well, don't you want to go?

I don't know.

You know I've never been away from home
before.

What if I hate her?

What if I'm with you, Mum and Barry?

What if this has all been about what
Miss Boston wants?

I didn't know you were this unhappy.

I didn't think I was.

Not until today.

Should I go?

What?

Do you think I want you to move away and
get your face bashed in?

I've seen that film with Hillary Swank.

That was a freak accident.

Look, I know it might be a bit of a
rush, but wouldn't you sooner stay out

her arms, would you?

What will Mum say?

She will be made up, and she'll get to
protect the baby.

Won't people be disappointed?

Since when have we cared what people
think?

And I'll get to have my little baby
sister at home.

And anyway, who's going to put the fake
tan on my back?

Do you want me to come with you to tell
Miss Boston?

Well, I'll tell her for you if you want,
because she's going to need it for now.

No, no, no, wait.

I love you, babe.

Never got what you saw in the box and
rubbish anyway.

You have to make sure you've got the
wind behind you when you're fly fishing.

You don't want to get one of these hooks
in your eye.

I've never been here before.

Great, isn't it?

I love the peace and quiet.

Yeah. You don't get much of that in a
schoolhouse.

So you don't live with your man, then?

My brother, he used to look after us,
but he's in prison now.

It's just you and your sister?

We used to be dead close, but... But?

She's all pally with Shazney now.

We were close before?

Yeah. I mean, even when Larry was there,
me, my brother and her, we did

everything together.

I know now.

I've got nothing to say that she wants
to hear.

I want to hear what you've got to say.

But you're the only one.

I'm looking for Mr McGregor. Have you
seen him?

Maggie, have you seen Mr McGregor? You
just missed him. He took Lenny Brown

fishing.

Come on, get your hands in your pockets.

Thank you. Thank you very much. We need
your cash.

Where have you been? I can't do this
without you. Oh, I was just checking on

Casey. Yeah, well, she's counting on it.
You'd better be shaking. Well, I hope

people really want us to do this, don't
they?

Thank you. No, I can't bear the thought
of her being away, but you can't make an

omelette without breaking a few eggs,
eh? Cash, now. I'd really like to stand

being away from her in that long, you
know?

I mean, what if she's worried?

Listen, we've got to be strong for that,
Casey. Even Barry's in there doing his

bit. Barry, you'll come back with an
empty tin of pockets full of money.

This is family. You know, this is a big
chance.

Now, come on, girls. Get shaken.

Come on. Here we go.

Come on.

Sorry about earlier.

No, I'm sorry.

I've pushed you too hard.

No, I wanted to be pushed.

But now it's just all happening so fast.

You, school, my mum.

It's like I've lost control.

It's completely natural to have doubts
and fears.

I should have prepared you better.

I guess I just thought... If life puts
you in the right place at the right

then... You should just grab those
chances.

What if it's all for nothing?

There's no shame in losing, Casey, as
long as you know that you've put

everything in.

People already think I'm a champion.

You are.

People need heroes.

And yours is on the way here now to
support you.

And that's great, but...

Everyone's going to know what I'm trying
to do.

It's going to be in the papers and
everything.

Yeah.

That's something you'd have to get used
to, you know?

You have to feed off that pressure.

The only time one of the Barrys is in
the paper is because we're being sent

down.

Isn't it time you changed that?

I'm in.

Let's do this.

It's going to be great.

Uh, she's here.

Is everything okay, Katie?

Yeah.

Is your aunt here? No.

There ain't no voicemail, neither.

Where's Christine?

She's with Nicola Adams.

I cannot believe she sanctioned an
unknown teacher taking a child out of

But we've had all the correct paperwork
through. I don't know why you're making

such a fuss. Because I don't believe
he's a real teacher.

Phone the council.

What? Just phone them, will you?

We are so pleased to have you visit
Waterloo Road. It is such a bit for the

people.

Hiya.

I'm Nicky. And this is Casey Barry. Hi,
Casey.

Heard a lot about you.

I think someone's a little bit
starstruck.

I hope you don't mind, but where are you
in your visit as if Andre's an

opportunity for Casey?

Yeah, that's cool.

Right,

get your hands in your pockets because I
don't know about you lot, but I... I

cannot wait to see my Casey bash seven
bells out of someone at the Commonwealth

Games. Come on!

Hey, you OK?

Yeah, yeah.

You seem a bit overwhelming sometimes,
Kat.

Yeah.

So, it's this way through the changing
room.

Go on.

Right. Well, yeah. You should have let
us know.

Apparently there's no way that bloke can
be Frankie McGregor. Well, why not?

Because Frankie McGregor is seriously
ill in the hospice. Oh, God.

There's been some sort of clerical
error.

Who's off fishing with Lenny Brown?

I don't know.

That's it, I'm calling the police.

No, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Am I going to get in trouble for this?

We've got some guy here masquerading as
the teacher. He's gone off with one of

our vulnerable kids. Don't worry about
it. I mean, that's not what I meant.

the police.

My grandad just left down the road.

I mean, he waited for us all the time,
but...

It'd be too much for him, you know.

People can live to 100, you know.

Mr. Budgeon wasn't even 60 when he died.

Are you worried about your grandad?

Folk die, mate.

It's a fact of life.

You've got to give a bit of yourself
back.

You can love them, just... just don't
depend on them.

Really nice.

Life's good, Lenny.

Fishing in a beautiful place with a
mate.

What could be better?

Nothing, sir.

How about we drop the sir and we're out
here, just the two of us, with just

Lenny and Jim.

I thought your name was Frankie.

It is.

My mates call me Jim.

We're mates now, yeah?

Cheers. Jim.

that Nicola has agreed to spar with our
very own Casey Barron.

It's a chance for Casey to show you some
of what she's learned. So enjoy it.

No idea where he's gone.

He said he was taking him fishing on the
pier. The police are there now, but

there's no sign.

He seems so genuine.

He was even showing Lenny how to tie
flies.

Well, I should have told you.

I mean, no fisherman worth his thought
would go fly fishing at the pier.

I mean, reservoir, maybe.

Right before.

Contact the police. Tell them where
we're going.

I'm leaving you in charge, George.

I can't do it.

Here, let me show you.

Do you want to think you've taken Lenny
for a fool?

Don't, Lenny.

Hi.

Dad.

Keep your wrist straight.

Don't move your wrist,

OK?

See? Feels good doesn't it?

Reservoir is definitely down this road.
I can't see a car, anything.

Just keep going straight. It's got to be
down here.

Come on, come on.

It's got to be close.

Well done.

What are we going to do with it? We're
going to take it back to Mrs Mulgrew?

We can cook it ourselves.

What, here?

And back at mine.

Thank you.

There's his car there.

Just keep going down this road. Look,
there's the water.

There they are!

You just fell?

I never did anything.

I never did anything, no.

Abducting a pupil, impersonating a
teacher. How would you ever do that?

Tell him I never did anything.

I just wanted to help him, spend some
time with him. He's happy, aren't you,

Lenny? He's happy being here with me.
Lenny, tell him you're happy.

He was happy.

I never did anything.

I just took confession.

That's all I did.

My girlie. A few years time, you'll be
queuing up for her autograph.

Come on.

Bye, love. See you. See you. Bye. Bye.

My room's a safe.

I'll be back in a sec, Lenny, all right?

I'm going to go to the hospital with
Lenny, get him checked out, and make

he's all right.

Thank you.

Thank you.

These little beggars, aren't they?

This is amazing.

Our place will be made of.

And that Nicola Adams, what an
inspiration she is.

Can I have your attention, please?

So, George, where's Christine?

There's been a situation.

Turns out the man who said he was
Frankie McGregor wasn't even a teacher.

can this have happened?

An error on the council's part.

But someone here probably should have
spotted it.

How intense was that?

I can't believe we nearly bottled up.

I know, but I can't. Want me to change
your mind?

Is that the Amoreo now?

Yeah.

I really want this, you know.

I know.

You're an amazing baby.

I'm so proud. I need to take the show to
Daphne Coradon. Mum?

She's an Olympic gold medallist.

Right, I reckon this calls the tea out.

Can I invite Miss Boston?

Today, Daphne?

You almost took us for tea?

Don't be biting on your dodgy mates.

This case is nice.

Yeah? You know that money Daddy owe you?

I reckon I'll be able to pay it off
sooner than I thought.

Lenny. I'm fine. I've got all the fuss
about it.

The hospital says he's fine.

I'll see you in school tomorrow, Lenny.

Thank you.

He's OK, my kid.

Wait, Effie.

That McGregor bloke, I'll kill him.
Chill out, will you? Well, he was a

wasn't he?

You don't know anything.

Jim was okay, and I'm fed up of people
bad -mouthing him, all right?

At least he listened to me.

Unlike some.

Well, look, I... I'm sorry.

And from now on, you can come everywhere
with me and the girls.

No, thanks.

I don't want to go neck and make -up.

I've got better things to do.

Okay. We'll just go back to me and you
then.

Yeah?

Nah.

I'm fine.

I like doing my own thing.

Leave him be.

He'll come round.

So I kept the boat on an even keel while
you were away? Yes. Well done, George.

Excuse me.

Oh.

Oh, can you give us a few minutes,
please?

Lenny's fine.

Thank goodness.

So what did the police say? Have we got
any idea who this guy is?

His name is Jim Rondley. He's Frankie
McGregor's brother -in -law.

Right, so how...? The McGregors took him
in when his marriage broke down.

They think he took the call to come in
here.

They charged him, right?

Yes, with child abduction.

According to Lenny, all they did was
fish and talk.

And I don't believe he's hiding
anything.

We were lucky this time.

We need to have a serious look at how we
check our supply teachers in the

future.

Why didn't I spot he wasn't genuine?

If anyone should have spotted anything,
it should have been Sue.

Well, according to Mr Ronsley, she was
too busy making wedding plans.

You think she was negligent?

The buck stops with me.

Right, well, I'll have a word with her.
She probably feels guilty enough

already, so don't be too hard on her.
And besides,

her fiancé made up for it with a pretty
amazing rescue.

And we've discovered that when the chips
are down, we make a good team.

Listen, about the memorandum... Oh,
forget it. No, it won't come up in

interview.

I'm going to give you a good run for
your money, you do know that.

Bring it on.

Bring it on.

Come then.

I'll let you buy me a drink.

Don't tell me you're all about the joys
of spending the afternoon with Mr.

Lousy. I assume the egregious little
toad was nauseatingly pompous about the

whole mixer.

Actually, you know what, George?

I've had enough sticking the knife in
Simon.

Really? I haven't.

Simon is enough.

What exactly happened out there?

I was reminded of what this job is
really all about.

Not the petty politics, but the kids.

Connor!

Connor, wait a minute!

What are you doing?

I love you, son.

And I just want you to be happy, so...
whatever you want to do with your life,

I'll support you.

Sounds like your mum's really come round
to the idea of your courage.

I thought you'd be made up.

No, I am.

Well, let's face it, I'm not going to be
able to do my chef training here.

Well, where were you thinking?

I don't know. Just not here.

What did Christine say? Did she mention
me?

Is that all you can think about? Not
bothered about what happened to Lenny?

Well, of course I just... Why didn't you
notice McGregor wasn't a teacher?

Well, I was teaching.

So you weren't sitting at the back
making wedding lists?

Please don't be mad.

Mad? I'm furious.

You were happy to let a man take over
your classes, knowing he didn't know

he was teaching, but as long as he kept
the kids happy, you didn't care.

You endangered a kid's life.

And all you're worried about is whether
you got into trouble.

But it's all right.

That's not the point.

You let me down today.

Again.

I've stood by you ever since you started
here.

It was just a mistake.

No, Sue.

It was negligence.

You know what gets me?

You don't even see it.

Steve, I am sorry. Really, I am.

I'm just so wound up about the wedding.

The wedding?

Is that really all you can think about?

Why do I refuse you?

If it feels right, I wish to lose you.

And if I just might.

Wake up alone

Just think, last time you walked through
these gates.

We have a problem with the money for
Casey's trip. What's the problem?

It's gone.

All of it. If I get my hands on the
thieving scumbag that did this, I will

him.

my life.

Can you wish your mum good luck with her
interview?

Sorry, imagine meeting Mum and Mr Bain.

Just believe.

Yeah, believe.

Ta -da!

A place like this goes with a new job.

I need to get it first.

You're not going to let me down now, are
you, son, eh?

No, no, of course not. Welcome to the
family.

You make it sound like we're the mafia.
Do you love me? If you want out, you

should say so now. You still want me,
Dad.

I don't know, love.
