What are you two doing in here so early?

Got to do the Bible practice with Mr Preston first.

We're doing Genesis chapter 9, and the best reader gets to do it in assembly.

The Lord God blessed Noah and Noah's son.

He said unto them, Thank you, Janice. I don't need you to quote me chapter and

verse.

Mr Trennerman, remember, Jesus loves you.

Oh, enough of that.

Well, Tom got me.

Wow. Didn't know you had tea, sir.

She chose myself.

I nearly fell off my perch when I saw the price of them.

Right.

And you're going to get your present tonight.

You're offside, aren't you? I mean, your mum knows about her pie, right?

Oh, come on, Chloe.

No, my dad's only away for the night and I got my cousin getting us booze and

everything. I just don't want things to get out of hand, that's all.

What, you mean Lewis?

Well, that's how Maxine, she can't bring you. It's not just Lewis.

What, me?

It'll be alright, won't it?

Unless you're indifferent.

Mrs Sedley.

Shh.

I wonder if I can speak to you, teacher to parent.

Look, you made your point about the children having choice at lunchtime.

But I've got benchmarks to reach in this school.

Healthy eating benchmarks.

We're wasting a lot of food.

Do you want me to bring you a salad for you?

All right, come on, the bell's nearly gone. Let's get inside.

Yeah, well, till it does, you can shove off.

I'll stick your head in this fire.

What kind of creep makes a living shoving crap down kids' throats, eh? If

kids didn't want what we're selling, we wouldn't be here.

Most of them are our thugs because of the crap that you're serving up in

You're just a pair of money -grabbing scum. Just shove it, will you?

Remember,

as soon as you go through those gates, you're not allowed back out.

This heap is out of bounds.

Come on, you lot, inside. Come on. Keep it moving. Go on.

You wouldn't want your pupils seeing their head teacher get any space kicks

would you?

Do you know what? If this lot weren't around, I'd gladly go a couple of rounds

with you.

Come on, get inside. Let's go.

Hey, how's your mate?

Still the same.

Lies there like she's dead.

Well, she ain't dead.

You've got to hold on to that.

Whatever happens, you remember what I told you, yeah?

You keep it shut.

So a lot of us are getting slacked because we're trying to make people

in Jesus.

People are scared of what they don't know.

But if you take the time to explain, you usually find they listen.

I used to drink loads of booze. Not too many years ago, I thought it made me

into a big person.

Actually, I was hiding who I was from myself.

Anybody else ever feel that way?

So it's like all you're living for is the buzz, and if you don't get it, then

you're nothing.

I felt exactly the same way myself, Maxine.

Well done for speaking up.

Janice said Siobhan would go to hell because she took drugs.

Well, like all of us, Siobhan was seriously tempted.

So is Siobhan going to go to hell?

Not if we can help her, Janice.

We have to pray hard.

She wakes up in time to repent her sinful ways.

Come on, everybody.

Not your favorite people?

Just seems to be everywhere.

Don't you worry about religion's influence in schools?

Kicks the kid's cup.

He's the opiate of the masses.

You're in a good mood.

Well, things are on the up.

Er... Is that the post?

Yeah. And there's this from Andrew.

He's marked it confidential.

So, you understand what I'm looking for here?

Try to write your own epitaph. Try to be humorous, original. Let it tell us

something about yourself.

Here lies Fred, all full of junk.

If I'd eaten Fred through, that wouldn't have sunk.

A word, Mr Trenum.

You've got 20 minutes.

So you didn't have the guts to tell me to my face. Yeah, just hold on. I

better of you. I'm sorry.

It's due process, sir. Letter of resignation. You could have talked to me

Well, I'm not sure you're the sort of person who listens anymore, Jack.

At least not to the right people.

Oh, so this is about Jerry, is it? It's about a lot of things. I'll tell you one

thing about Jerry is he won't come and run.

You're not even giving me time to find a replacement.

They need me out there as soon as possible.

Well, you tell your friends in Africa that you've got to work your notice

Then you can sod off.

I need teachers here who are committed to this school, how it is now and how

it's going to be. Not people who can't finish what they started.

Can you not just do get well messages like everybody else?

It's like prayer, Mish. One needs this to get better.

Well, a few doctors and nurses will help as well.

It's terrible, isn't it? All because of drugs.

She should never have thought that.

Of course she shouldn't. It doesn't make her a bad person.

Do you know what, Janine?

I'm quite disappointed in you. All this whole year than thou thought. It's not

making you into a better person. Your man says different.

Well, she's obviously not seeing what I'm seeing, is she?

I'm just saying, miss.

She either needs to ask God for forgiveness or she'll go to hell and

Don't talk rubbish.

How can she ask for forgiveness?

She's in a flaming coma.

Courtney, don't... Well, she should shut her face. Some Jesus -shame member you

are, from what I've heard. Yeah, Siobhan wasn't the only one taking drugs, was

she? Come off! All right, calm down. Get the guilty face on it. She's probably

in a coma because of you.

This is enough!

Stop it!

You two can go and spend some time in the cooler, now.

What, just because we believe in God? Out!

it all.

And I can't.

Because I'm a coward.

What, you know he's dealing the drugs?

Connie, you've got to tell me who it is. You don't know what he'd do.

Look, I don't believe in devils or demons, but I do know that there's evil

there and whoever's threatening you, whoever's dealing the drugs is evil.

And you know that because you're scared of them.

Do you want them to get away with what they've done to Siobhan?

Please, just... just tell me.

Jess, wait.

What's going on?

You lot are about to get Nick.

We've got a report that you're dealing drugs.

What? It's a lying top rag.

All right, let's have a look then, shall we? Unless he's a bit up there.

No, let him come and look.

We've got nothing to hide.

Thank you.

I don't know how they do battered sausages down the cockshot canteen, but

need flour.

You liar!

What's going on?

Kim got an anonymous tip -off.

A sudden drug dealer.

You're joking. Well, except the police couldn't find anything.

Listen, what we do is we get a letter to all the parents telling them we've got

a drug problem in the area.

Waterloo Road is doing all that it can, including bag searches.

What can I do? Pack for Rwanda.

Jack Rimmer is so wound up about what his kids are putting in their mouths.

What's he doing about the junk he's peddling in here?

It's poisoning their minds and souls.

Well, you'd probably find it's part of the curriculum, Jerry.

This sort of stuff closes minds.

We want to open them, Roger.

Get some balance in this place.

Get creationist scientific thinking on the shelves.

Well, we'd have to be careful about Ofsted.

Ofsted, Schmofsted.

This was going to be our school.

Jerry, you can't just set your own curriculum.

There are inspections.

What, once every couple of years or so?

That's a heck of a lot of time in between to do what we want.

How are you ever going to find the teachers?

I mean, to do what we want.

Don't worry, Roger.

UCAS has its own teacher training college.

The quality of our teachers is excellent.

Want to borrow your gold shoes?

Nope. You're not getting them for my birthday?

Oh, all right.

Well, girls, you know the rules for tonight, don't you?

No rules.

Is that clear?

Of course, miss.

What, not even a can of cider?

She'll have a big sister there to look after her, won't she?

Fantastic.

I'll see you about eight, yeah?

Yeah.

I'll see you later.

See you.

There must be some way of catching him, huh?

Well, they're just going to be on the guard now, aren't they? More than ever.

All right, Kim.

Jack.

See you tomorrow.

I'm going to need a pint after this. Your fruit.

Kim. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That'll be good.

Hey. Hey.

Have a lovely evening.

You too, Steph.

Oh, I'll be partying the nights away.

Oh, you look fantastic, babes.

You're all mine, remember?

Right, where do we get a drink round here? Come on.

I want some

of

you. Yeah.

Lewis, what are you doing?

I thought you wanted to have a good time. Yeah, but you don't need stuff for

that. She's definitely got a Jesus you, Matta.

It's nothing to do with him.

It's what you're getting upset about.

God made everything, right?

So we made gear and all.

Well, he wouldn't have made it if people weren't going to use it.

Yeah, I told you I don't want him for myself.

Not because of God.

Is it right Siobhan had an overdose or something you give her?

Don't listen to the teachers.

They've got it in for a burger, man.

Sending all sorts round.

If some girl had an overdose, it's because she's a guzzler and can't get a

without going over the top.

See what I'm saying?

No, Tara.

Fine. There's plenty of people in here that want decent gay.

Chloe, for example.

She's really going for it in a big way.

You know why, don't you?

Because she's scared about having sex with Donnie.

Yeah.

I can't have that.

Sixteen now, innit?

I think this is going to be the best birthday clothes I've ever had.

Donnie and all.

Don't you love her?

Yeah, go on.

What's wrong?

Mum told me to look out for Chloe.

It's her 16th birthday. Let her enjoy herself.

Take care, Chloe.

Thanks.

Since the, uh...

A little pick -me -up.

Hey.

Hey, put that away.

Don't get some rubber barriers in your bus.

We're going to have a good night tonight, yeah?

Yeah.

Hey, steady on. You only just got here.

Don't want you getting drunk already.

Thought we were going to have a good time.

Well, then.

So...

What do you think of Andrew abandoning ship?

Well, he just does what he thinks is right, doesn't he?

A bit snooty like that, isn't he?

No, I didn't say that.

He's principled.

Yeah, up his own backside, you mean.

Well, I mean, he can go and play St Andrew of Rwanda if he likes, but it's

children here that are my concern.

We'll manage without him.

Will we?

Will you?

What Andrew does has nothing to do with me.

Well, we're going to be a teacher down very soon.

We need to fill the post.

Otherwise, Gerry Preston might start shipping in his own suitable candidate.

What do you mean?

You cough.

Apparently, they have their own teacher training facility.

So we can end up with teachers at Waterloo Road who are trained in

Not if I can help it. Well, what if you can't?

How many is he going to ship in? What, five?

Twenty? The entire teaching staff? All creationists? That's not going to

But it could. That's the point.

Calm down, Kim.

I'm scared because I can see where all this is heading. They're framing dark

ages. Why can't everyone else?

Look, without Gerry Preston, there is no Academy.

Certainly not for Waterloo Road.

I know I'm not the teacher here, but is that really so important?

As a matter of fact, it is.

Look, when Andrew goes, I'm going to need...

A new deputy.

You mean me?

I'm going to have to advertise, but you would be top of my list.

Look, you don't have to give me an answer now.

Why don't we just push it over dinner?

Fancy that?

Yeah, yeah, I'm up for that.

Kim?

Do you know what? I'd better get off, actually.

Well, have a think about it, yeah? Yeah, yeah, of course.

you two have a nice time later

Hi, will you stop checking up on me?

She's right, Mika, come on.

Come here, Dante.

Bring it on, babes. I will.

Mum's going to go mad.

Because what?

You're going to tell her?

Stop being such a grouch.

Mr Preston's dead. There's loads of books in the common room that shouldn't

there. We could get excluded for this. No way.

Mr Preston that runs the school now, he won't let nothing happen to us.

Looks more like Dante's birthday to me.

It might be yours and all.

You wouldn't rather be down there, would you?

Stop messing about.

Happy birthday, babes.

Oh, my God.

You're 16 now.

You can do it.

She got married.

I love you.

This love is gone.

In the middle of the day, we elaborate the scene.

Bill?

Mika, what's going on?

I don't know.

Someone must have spiked a drink. She just started acting really weird.

What? Chloe, Chloe, Chloe, look at me.

Look at me. What's happened? What have you taken?

All right, Bonnie.

You and Chloe were having a good time last night, did you? You ought to watch

it, Siddy.

Because I don't know what you're putting clothes during, but if she ended up

like Siobhan, I would have killed you.

Hey, what are you on about? We don't know nothing about that, Siobhan. Yes,

flaming do.

She was the one giving him the gay. Shut it, you muppet.

What are you going on about?

He was giving out drugs to anyone who wanted him.

Well, take a hike, mate, or I'll make you.

Yeah, I will take a hike.

To the cops.

Get in!

Now!

You might be even screwed up, Lewis, if Devil gets hold of it. He'll be swinging

from a hook.

He was only bluffing, innit?

We were stupid letting him in with us. Get laughed.

Well, give me what I'm owed. You'll get that.

Yeah, and Donty Charles won't be the only one going to the coffers.

Look, maybe you and me should have a little chat over this.

Yeah, when I get what I'm owed.

Give him the money, ma. Eh? Just do it.

Lewis ain't daft.

Come on.

I'm buying me own van.

I'm not that loose.

Mine's just a bit upset.

Maybe we should take a bit of a breather. Get away from the air, Nick.

Yeah?

Where have you been, sir?

You're supposed to be helping out on the bag search. Oh, don't give me a hard

time, Tom.

What, hungover, are you?

Well, maybe you should ask your ward here what she was up to last night.

What's that for you, Maxine?

Because her boyfriend's here with Spike and Claude's drink.

What boyfriend?

Lewis Seddon, the neighbourhood drug pusher. It's not drug pusher.

Lewis Seddon?

What have I told you, Maxine? He was just at the party. I didn't have

to do with him. Do you think I'm stupid, Maxine? I've already got one girl in a

coma. Claude could have been the next.

I don't know what she's on about.

Oh, don't give me that.

I told you that if I caught you with Lewis Seddon again, you'd be out of my

house and back in that hostel.

God, how many more people in my life are going to kick me in the teeth?

Don't it, Charles?

He's always had it in for me.

Yeah, things like it. So I'm not going to be having words.

No one threatens me.

You go to the police and you are dead.

That's a promise.

Everything from

Philip Coleman.

How are you feeling?

Getting away from me.

Chloe? I never want to see you ever again.

What are you talking about?

Do you know exactly what I'm talking about?

I was up my face last night.

What?

What are you talking about?

Nothing happened, if that's what you mean.

Chloe!

Mr. Trennaman makes us pay for him, and we'll get the money off Mr.

Preston. Loaded.

So, we was only making the pint.

We can't have double bucks at school.

Jack,

what's it gonna take?

Your precious academy's not even been built yet and you've already got

burning books.

What? Look!

Er, Jack.

Seddon? What the hell do you want?

Right, I want you to pick the right form of the verb and then fill in the gap.

Continue in a clap.

Jerry. I was hoping to get the chance to... Speak to you.

I just wanted to say that I think these early morning prayer meetings are having

such a positive effect on this school. Thanks, Miss Hayduck. I think we're

starting to have an effect. But you know Satan. He hides in all kinds of places.

Oh, yeah, I know.

And you know where he hides around here, don't you, Jerry?

Down the cleavage of the headmaster's secretary.

Why are we in the police now?

Let them handle it.

I've already given them a bum's fear, and I don't trust Louis Seven.

What are you going to do with that?

They really don't teach you anything at public school, do they?

I

said

we can call the police now.

Jack's not here.

When will he be back?

I don't know.

It has to do with the drug thing.

Can I help?

I guess you could save some time later and start clearing your desk.

Clearing my desk?

What are you talking about?

Well, it's either that or we make your affair with my son public.

The police are all over Seddon's lock -up. Jed and Gemma will be in jail by

lunchtime.

What's up?

They know about me and Brad.

It happened before either of them came to Waterloo Road. But you knew about it,

and you never thought to tell me what my son had been getting up to.

He's 17, Roger. She is a Jezebel. She has corrupted you, and she is corrupting

this school.

Oh, for God's sake!

I made a mistake.

There's a new dawn coming for this place, Jack.

But that can't happen with a cancer at its heart. Cut it out, Jack.

Before it destroys you and any hope for this school.

Just a minute, yeah. He's told you what you've got to do, Jack.

At least it's out in the open now.

We can get on with our lives.

Thank you, Jack.

I mean, you didn't want this secretary's job anyway, did you? I mean, with the

references I'm going to give you, you could walk into a teaching assistant

anywhere in the country.

I don't know nothing about drugs!

Well, do you know where Jed is, then?

Miss Dickey was one of the most popular people ever to teach at this school.

I feel privileged to have known her, and I know that you do too.

This afternoon's memorial is about honouring our memory of her.

I know that some of Miss Dickey's class have asked Mr Preston to say a few

words.

Let us put our hands together and pray to our Father in Heaven.

We are gathered here in memory of our departed sister, Miss Dickey.

But I'd also like us to remember young Siobhan Geary,

barely 15 years old, right now lost

in a coma.

Because she could not and was not strong enough to turn her back on temptation.

Likewise, Miss Dickey.

She was a good teacher, Lord.

Fine teacher.

But when you tested her, her faith was weak.

And when the devil offered to ease her pain, well, she listened to him and took

her own life. Stop it. This is enough.

You are interrupting a dialogue with the Lord. Then let him strike me down.

Didn't think so.

This is a school.

It may just seem like flaking paint and crumbling cement, but believe me, its

value goes way beyond that.

Here... You are given the freedom to investigate things you don't understand.

You are encouraged to argue with things you disagree with.

You can tell a teacher to their face you think they're wrong.

Ask Brad Aspinall.

He does it every day.

I want to open minds.

There's another way of looking at things.

A way that doesn't have gigantic holes in its theory.

All I'm saying is check out the alternatives.

I admire Mr. Preston to some extent.

He's a motivated man, very sure of himself.

But he's a fundamentalist.

He'd admit to that himself.

But fundamentalism has no place in schools, especially in those who run and

them. It leads to the burning of books by small -minded and ignorant people.

Well, you're the one who believes that people are evolved from apes, aren't

Mr. Treneman?

Hmm?

I mean...

Apes are people?

How does that make you feel, folks?

Actually, it's the other way around.

People are apes.

Although most of us are a little less hairy and a little more intelligent.

Lorna.

We know how hilarious you'd find it that a man who believes that Noah and his

ark actually existed should be standing here at your memorial service.

And how outraged you'd be that he is trying to walk minds and condemn you for

the tragedy of your untimely death.

We know you're resting in peace.

As one day we all will.

I can't believe I turned Lorna's memorial service into a bloody

debate.

It wasn't really much of a debate, Andrew.

No, I suppose not.

Do you know what it was, though?

What?

It was fantastic.

Hello.

Let me talk to you, all right? Leave me alone.

Listen. You've got nothing to be ashamed about.

Janice.

Tell her about last night, all right, and about how nothing happened with me

her.

Nothing did happen.

You was off your head.

You had to come and get me to calm you down and get you back in your gear.

Don't you remember?

Yeah.

That was for not doing it.

What?

Didn't seem right, babes.

This wasn't you.

You could send my P45 on.

Let you know my address.

Ooh, isn't it darning, Jack?

And it seems like I'm in the wallet.

Look, this doesn't have to make a difference.

You know, maybe it would be better.

Better space between us. I like working here, Jack.

I wanted to be a teaching assistant here.

And I like being close to you. I mean, I can't believe that you didn't even try

to defend me. You'll get another chance, Davina. This school probably won't.

Yeah, well, I hope it's worth it.

As soon as the Academy is built, I will personally kick out Gerry Preston and

Roger and the Holy Choir of Angels.

Then we can talk about a teaching assistant post.

OK.

I know I'm a fine one to be giving you advice.

But what are you prepared to sacrifice for this Academy?

Your honesty?

Your good judgement?

Fair play?

Good luck with it all.

Hello, Janice.

What is it?

I've been a pillock, sir.

I mean, I've seen fossils.

Get him off the internet?

Well, that's a relief.

Do you not believe in God at all, Mr Trennaman?

No.

But you have to make your own mind up about that.

As I did.

How?

Well, read the Bible.

It's a start.

Show me.

Show me.

Show me.

Hello.

You will never marry Dante Charles.

You can't ban me from doing something that I want to do.

Either that, or we move away.

Somewhere very far.

Yeah, well, I don't care what you say.

If you leave, I'm staying.

You can't make me come with you.

Oh, grow up, Chloe. You can't marry Dante without Mum's permission.

Yeah, I still even can.

Can you just wait outside? I'll be with you in a minute.

I can't deal with this now, Chloe. I've got club.

Come on, Chloe.

Let your mum get on, eh?

I'll, um... I'll talk to you at home.

I'm not coming home. Chloe, could you just for once... She'll see you at home.

It'll be a nice dinner waiting.

Don't worry, Mum.

She knows she's talking rubbish.

Well, I hope so, Mika, because I am dead serious.

Just come in and find a space on the mats.

You wanted to see us, Jack.

Have you gotten rid of that woman?

She's gone.

Good.

Now we can start planning for the future.

But as of tomorrow, she's going to be reinstated.

What are you talking about?

And then I'm going to instruct my staff that none of them have anything to do

with your creationist claptrap.

Well, you've obviously not thought about the consequences of what you're saying,

Jack.

You can take your money and shove it. That's not your decision.

Well, I think the LEA would be interested in my objection.

And if necessary, I know the papers will.

Jack, you're mad.

Don't you know what you're throwing away?

Well, it's stepping on your ego, Roger, but there's not going to be an Aspinall

Academy for Waterloo Road.

But to be honest with you, I'd rather teach in a tin shack.

There are plenty of other schools that will open their arms to UCOS. There will

be a Roger Aspinall Academy.

As long as I don't have to teach there.

I will pray for your soul, Mr. Rimmer.

Actually, I'd prefer it if you didn't.

Enjoy your tin shack.

To the haze of the smoke in the room, I thought your golden gates knew each were

better days.

With the rage of the smoke through the roof, I thought your golden gates knew

each were better days.

Your golden gates.

I told Gerry and Roger to shove their money.

Oh. As of right now, you are officially reinstated.

Are you serious?

You're flaming right I am.

And from tomorrow, Waterloo Road is officially UCOS free.

I'm going to run this school the way I want to.

Well, I'm... I'm at the usual place.

I'll be there in ten.

Okay.

I'll see you soon.

We've been playing games, haven't we?

I mean, we both felt the same, but all these times since we met, we've just...

put obstacles up for each other.

Yeah, it has been a bit of an assault course.

Just hope we haven't played it for too long.

Come to Africa with me.

What? Why not?

They need teachers like you. You could get a job without any problem.

I've got a life here.

You know that the kids need me here.

I need you.

Well, then stay.

I can't.

Fine, but it's all right for me to just throw my life up, is it?

I just give up my job, give up my house, put thousands of miles between me and

my family, but not for you to just change your plans and stay here.

Make it nice and simple for us to be together.

How will I fit into the new academy when Gerry Preston and his gospel bunch take

over? Well, you stood up to him today.

You can carry on standing up to him. Going off is just giving up.

That's not the way I see it.

Besides, there's Jack.

I used to think he was a man with principles.

You're there with the last straw.

I'm not going back, Ken.

I'm flying out tomorrow.

You can't do that.

You can't do that to me. Come with me.

Andrew, I... This time tomorrow, I'll be in Rwanda.

I want you there with me.

Call me and tell me you're coming.

Hey, Rimmer.

What do you want?

Don't you remember?

You said you wouldn't mind going a couple around if there weren't no kids

Don't see none now.

Do you?

Clear up out of it. You can go call the cops.

Tell them I'll come and pick me up.

Stay with me. All right, all right. Stay with me.

Stay with me.

When you talk to me, I hear you out I wanna

face it out Too close, move on out It's all around for you to see

Yeah, it's all I wanna see
