Morning, Bridget.

Morning. Has Rachel heard back from the council yet?

I don't think so.

And there's nothing here.

Go on, you're expecting something.

No, no, it's OK.

What are they?

Hello, Salon Style.

What, have you got your own business now? It's just a bit of homework.

I want to get as much practice in as possible.

And what's Tom said about it?

He's cool with it.

As long as I do my other work and all.

Right. See you later, girls.

Oh, yeah.

He's really cool with it. If you're hiding it from him.

Oh, it's just a bit early in the morning for the whole father -daughter chat

about it all.

Well, you've got no need to go on if you're doing your work.

Have you?

Have you, Chloe?

Flaming hell, you're as bad as he is.

Yes, I'm doing my work okay.

There's nothing to worry about, then.

In a bit.

You OK?

Yeah. I'm still not putting you centre forward, though, right?

Right, come on, girls, quick as you like.

Come on.

If you don't see your hands, it's nothing. I hurt myself last night.

What's up?

Looks like you've just done it. Honestly, it's nothing.

Are you trying to tell me I'm unfit to play this afternoon?

I'm joking, Aya. You're our only chance of winning this time, aren't you?

Come on.

Are you absolutely sure?

Would have been last week.

Rachel Mason called.

You definitely haven't had a call about the contract.

Yeah.

Cheers.

I've just heard back from the council.

They know nothing about that contract being cancelled, but I suppose you know

about that already.

Look, I... You lied to me.

I'm sorry, I didn't have a choice.

That construction deal is worth millions to him. If he lost his contract, I lose

my job. It's as simple as that. You have to call the police.

Oh, and say what, Eddie? That is not an option.

Then let me help.

What can I do to get you out of all this? I'm dealing with it. I'm doing it

my own way. Doesn't look like it from here.

Eddie, can you just take a hint?

This is a part of my life I hate even to think about, let alone discuss.

If you can't get that into your head, can you just go?

Fine.

Listen to anybody.

Sabine, what are you playing at?

Come on, gather round.

It's not fair to her. I'm right in front of her. She won't even pass to me. I

was in left wing and it was like a dick in my exit.

We were doing better yesterday when she was off stick. At least we got a flaming

looking. What did you stop me for?

Look, have you listened to a single word I said to you before?

I told you to stay back.

You're meant to be the sweeper, not going dashing out of position thinking

can win all by yourself. But I was clean through.

You're normally such a good team player. What's got into you?

What have you done to your hands?

Nothing. Come on, let us see. It's nothing. I hurt myself on the door this

morning. You said it was last night.

What is this? I thought we were here to play football.

Let us see your hands. No!

Where did you go? Just mind your own business!

To me? Mind your own business!

Right,

stand up!

Come on, into positions. Move, now!

Mind your own business!

I don't want you to get caught up in this. It's my mess.

I just want to help.

Maybe you need to talk to someone.

Get them perspective on it.

Perspective?

Worst case scenario, it comes out.

Then what?

Hinchcliffe and co may moan a bit, but they're not going to fire you.

How can you possibly know that?

You haven't done anything wrong.

OK, they might not fire me, but do you honestly think that I can stay here?

Carry on like nothing's happened.

Hundreds of parents find out an ex -prostitute's running their kid's

What do you think they're going to do, congratulate me?

They'll be after my blood, and you know what, I couldn't blame them.

It was a long time ago, Rachel.

That makes absolutely no difference in the minds of these people.

Believe me.

Jason? Yeah.

You all right, Samin?

You've got to think about the formation.

Give the others a chance.

Took me so good, eh?

I can't find my uniform.

Well, it's bound to be around here somewhere.

Yeah, well, it's not, is it?

Someone's nicked it.

Why would someone want to nick your uniform?

To make me look stupid?

No, we never.

Honestly.

Right, everyone look in for Samin's uniform now.

I've not found a uniform, but I've found someone's sweaty pyjamas.

I think you'd better tell me what's going on, don't you?

Seriously, Samin, this isn't like you.

I know you went to school yesterday. Has something happened?

No, nothing.

So why the pyjamas? I mean, people don't just turn up at school dressed like

that for no reason.

Is everything all right at home?

Yeah.

Some even want to help you.

If there's something wrong, if there's a problem, you need to tell us.

There's nothing wrong, OK?

I keep saying.

And you can't make me talk if I don't want to talk, can you?

No.

No, you're quite right.

I can't.

So maybe you should take yourself off to the cooler.

Come on.

See if you can bring yourself to explain why you turned up in your pyjamas.

Just wait here a minute, please.

Has she ever done anything like this before?

No, she's a model student.

So what do we know about her family?

Nice people.

Very supportive, involved.

There was a question mark over their immigration status not long back, but I

thought that was all sorted. Can you do me a favour and find us some uniform

from lost property, and I will contact her parents and see what's going on.

Right.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Oh, cute.

I was thinking about getting highlights. What do you reckon?

Yeah, I'd love to.

Have you done High Life before?

No, not yet.

But I do them for free.

All right, I'll think about it.

Oh, I hear you doctor after, yeah?

And she don't look after.

Oh, damn.

What's up?

My future prospects essay.

Well, she was asking me for it yesterday. I haven't even done it yet.

More pit.

We'd better start doing it fast because she's proper after, yeah?

Oh, I'm doing hairdressing after school.

I'm going to get a bit of practising before I leave this place, which could

any time soon.

Good for you.

It's great to have an ambition, you know, to do something you're really

passionate about.

Yeah, I just wish Tom would feel the same.

I'd have thought he'd be happy you were doing this.

Not really.

He just thinks it's stopping me from thinking about what's really important.

Oh, important for whom?

You take no notice.

Stick to your guns, girl. I'm sure you'll win them over.

And if there's anything you need.

Oh, I could give you a restyle.

Uh, right.

Yeah.

Great. See you.

See you.

Are you sure you don't want to tell me what's going on?

You all right?

Kids, why do they have to be so stubborn when all you're trying to do is help

them?

I don't think Claude's being stubborn.

I think she's showing you real maturity.

I didn't mean... You know, this hair salon thing.

It's obviously something she really wants to do.

After everything that happened last week with Mika.

You know, maybe you need to take a little step back.

Well, I have.

I've told Claude if her grades don't get better, then she can't do it. If they

do, she can.

I think that's pretty fair, don't you?

So she's given it up for now?

Until her grades get better, yeah.

Right, and what if her grades don't get any better?

How long are you going to stand in her way?

Look, I think you need to face up to the fact that she is heading in her own

direction. They both are.

No matter what compromises you offer up.

So I'll just leave them to it, let them do what they want.

I may not try and guide them in any way.

Well, and that's your professional advice, is it, Dr Shackleton?

No, Tom, I'm not saying... Better than you do.

And I've picked her up when she's come off the rails before. All I'm trying to

do is put her back on track.

If I want your opinion, I'll ask for it, yeah?

Thank you, Bridget. Any news from Samina Zizi's parents yet? No, nothing. It's

just ringing out.

Hello. Can I help you? We're looking for a Miss Mason.

That's me.

We're from the Border and Immigration Agency. We're actually looking for

Zizi. Why?

I'm afraid she's in this country illegally, Miss Mason.

She and her family are to be removed.

Ah, the very person.

I've been finding these all over the place. Have you had permission from Miss

Mason to hand them out?

It's after school. Do I have to?

Yes, you do if it means you've fallen behind.

And what happened to that essay you were due to hand in yesterday?

Oh, miss, I'm dead sorry.

I've left it at home.

I've done it and everything.

Chloe, you do know I'm going to have to mark you down.

But I'll go get it.

I'll bring it in for you this afternoon.

You've had too many chances.

And you can start picking these up from outside and all.

I don't understand, because I thought Samina and her family were still in the

Midlivan Appeals.

No, they were removed to a detention centre two days ago. They're due to fly

later today.

Samina ran away this morning. We thought she may have come here.

She doesn't have anywhere else to go.

OK.

Come sit down, please.

The thing is, you know, Samina has been at Walkley Road for five years.

Her little sister was born in England.

You can't just cut off her education. She's doing really well here.

Miss Mason, we think it's in Samin's best interest to be with her family at

difficult time, and, obviously, when they return to Iran.

As far as I know, Iran doesn't do much for a girl's interest, Mr Baxter.

Look, I know this may seem brutal when you know the girl, but the fact is the

Azizi family are in this country illegally.

So, if you could take us to her.

Sorry? To wherever she is in the school.

She's not.

I mean, she hasn't been seen at school today.

And you know all the kids that don't come to school?

No.

But she is due to play a very important football game. She's our star player.

She's been absent for the past few days.

It's registration now.

How about I take you to her form? You can see for yourselves.

Quiet.

Thank you.

Uh, Jake Allen.

Yes, sir. Sophie Ashford. Yes, sir.

David Atherton.

Uh, Samin Azizi.

Samin.

No, Samin again.

There.

Um, thank you, Mr. Budgeon.

After you.

Michael Croft. You will call us if she turns up.

Oh, yes, of course.

How can it be terrible for you when a kid slips through the net?

Rachel?

Uh, listen.

About before... I didn't realize... I mean, I hadn't really thought it

I was a bit of a...

and I'm sorry.

I really don't want you to leave Waterloo Road, Eddie.

Nor do I.

Good.

I will. I'll try and find a way of getting rid of Waterloo.

Well, you won't have to do it by yourself.

And I promise no more lectures about coming clean.

I know you can't.

But we've got to fight back.

Get him off your case, otherwise this will be hanging over you forever.

Yeah.

I'm afraid we've got another battle on our hands at the moment. I need to call

staff meeting, all the heads of department.

Okay, what's it about?

Something to do with these guys.

Waterloo Road versus Her Majesty's Government.

I can't believe how he's reacting over Chloe.

He's just so overprotective of them.

Well, you can't blame them. They have been through a lot together.

I think it's kind of sweet.

Yeah, yeah, it's very sweet.

And it's an admirable quality and not a lot of men would be that way.

But, you know, at the end of the day, I'm being kept at arm's length.

And I don't think you'll ever allow me any closer.

Why did you run?

Why didn't you stay with your family?

Part of me wish I'd had.

But my mum, she told me to run.

Said that she wants me to stay here and get my education no matter what.

So I came here.

Does it mean the British government obviously think it's safe to go back?

Not for us.

My dad could be in trouble.

Can you promise me that he's not going to get punished for stuff he did years

ago?

Samina, there's something else you need to know.

Immigration turned up at school.

Miss Mason, don't make me go with them.

Please don't make me go with them. I won't.

And they're gone.

But I'm afraid they're likely to return.

If you want to stay, we will fight it.

I'll do everything in my power to stop this deportation. We all will.

What about my family, Miss?

They're due to fly out this afternoon.

Well, then we'll have to work fast, won't we?

Why don't you go back to your class and don't talk to anyone about this for now,

yeah?

Richard, what do you know about deportation and trying to stop it?

Um, to be honest, nothing.

Okay, well, by the end of today, you and I are going to be experts.

Right, I need to get online and find a support group for this kind of thing.

Yeah, and call Emma from social services.

I need to know where to start.

Can you also arrange a call with one of the governors?

Preferably Nigel Hinchcliffe. Yeah.

Waterloo Road is going to do everything possible to stop this deportation, and

quickly. I mean, we can only help her while she's in our care.

Immigration has shown up once. It's only a matter of time before they turn up

again. Now, I've spoken to the LEA, and they suggest that we put together a

folder if the means work.

What for?

We're lodging an appeal to revoke. I mean, if we can convince our local MP

you know, she has great potential and should finish her exams, we might get a

stop order. And how am I going to do that? She's no genius in English.

Well, if you can get together some work that reflects grade A ability and get it

to me as soon as possible, that'd be great.

Aren't you asking him to commit fraud?

She's asking us to give a 14 -year -old kid a break.

Excuse me, no offence, but are we to presume that we'll be doing this every

immigration decide to send a pupil home?

As far as the mean's concerned, this is a home.

This country is stretched to the limits with asylum seekers.

We give them a safe place to live, health care, benefits, but...

When it's time for them to go home, it's time for them to go home.

Duly noted, Granny. Thank you.

Now, I want everyone involved in this.

So, Tom, can you get a photo of Samina as captain of the football team?

Absolutely. Great.

I want to make it impossible for the Home Office to dispute how well she's

here and how detrimental it would be to her education to remove her. So, please,

come on.

Yeah.

Hey, Grantley.

You aren't going to help out with this, aren't you?

All right, I'll just tear some pages of Dickens out and put her name at the top.

Dickens, Shakespeare, whatever. Just don't let the mean down, eh?

What about Chloe?

She's mishandling in another essay.

To be honest, her coursework's on the slide.

Are you joking?

She told me she was going to make more of an effort with it all.

Well, it seems to me she's making more of an effort with the hairdressing log

that she's gotten to read.

Have a word, will you?

Yeah. Thanks, Steph.

What time do you call this, Bolton?

Have you lost your watch or something?

Sorry, Miss, I fell asleep, didn't I?

I didn't mean to.

You've missed your entire first lesson.

Go on. I don't want to make you any later than you already are.

Don't let this happen again, all right?

Sorry.

Where are you going? I've got to have a word with Audley.

No, Eddie, don't.

Let's talk first.

I mean, I appreciate your helping and everything, but you'll make it worse if

you go steaming in.

Miss Mason, I've got the LEA on the phone regarding something as easy.

Look, you're busy.

You deal with this, I'll deal with Audley. I'm just going to roughen his

feathers.

Are you going to tell us what's going on or what?

What are you talking about?

Like, where were you in registration?

And why did Mason come in and say you weren't in school when you were?

I don't know. I wasn't there, was I? They'll have to ask her.

Did you get the email back to me?

She's managing so far, but I have a feeling something's just a bit of kick

And what was that strap on the pit?

And you haven't no uniform?

Miss, what's going on with the main?

She's had too many questions after that.

Immigration wants to deport me back to Iran.

What?

Why? Are you serious?

Why?

You've been here for ages.

They can't just send you back there.

What about your family?

They're at a detention centre.

That's where I was until I got out.

Can't we leave them then? Schools are ready, doing everything they can.

Yeah, but no real action.

Nothing to show how disgusting this is, eh? I mean, what about here and right?

Yeah, man, up the revolution.

Right, you lot, off to your next class, please.

Listen, guys, Mr Clarkson wants to see the football team and the drummer in the

next period.

What for?

That must be part of the big plan to keep you here.

Good. Just as long as we're doing something.

Samin, I really hope that we can help you sort this out.

Thanks, sir.

Hiya. I've got an appointment with Mr. Hardley.

Name, please?

Eddie Lawson.

It's for 10 o 'clock.

I'm a bit late. Traffic.

I'm sorry, I can't find your name down, Mr. Lawson. And he's due across town at

half past.

He's going to be livid. I'm supposed to be doing a conference call with him

right now before we leave.

Go on through.

Thanks.

You and me need to talk.

Mr. Budgen said you wanted to see me.

What's all this?

Come here.

You say, Dr. Tony, you flunked on your essay.

I just forgot to hand it in.

You mean you didn't do it?

I did.

Tom, why do you never believe anything I say? Because you never give me good

reason to.

I thought we had a deal.

Down then.

And you've got to start being straight with me. You either get better results

you forget about this hairdressing art once and for all.

There's something I really care about doing.

Why do you want to stop that?

I'm just trying to help you keep your options open, that's all.

You might want to be a rocket scientist, something to fall back on.

OK, fine.

Good. Now go and get changed.

What is this?

Your team -mate needs your help. Come on, it's important.

Oh, I'm supposed to be in class, so... It's important.

No one for me, no one for you.

Nice.

As of today, you'll end all contact with Rachel.

And you'll walk away from the contract for the new build.

Now, why on earth would I do a thing like that? Because you don't want to go

prison.

If all this comes out, Rachel might lose her job.

But you'll be looking at, ooh, a five -year stretch, I'd say. Mr Lawson, with

all due respect, what the hell are you talking about?

Blackmail.

She told me everything.

Who do you think sent me here?

I know you're trying to use her past against her.

I know about the photograph.

She'll make me sick. You want to be careful throwing accusations like that

around. I don't know what you're talking about, so if you wouldn't mind pissing

off, you're starting to irritate me now.

Your whole empire, built on lies and blackmail.

You don't seriously think you're going to get away with it, do you?

I persuaded Rachel to go to the police.

I think they'll be very interested in you.

Everybody squeeze in a bit on the end there.

All right?

Right, Samina, you hold the trophy up.

I can't believe what they're trying to do to you.

It's just not right.

If they come for you, you should barricade yourself in a room or

Thanks, guys.

Right, OK, big smiles, lots of celebration, yeah?

Yay!

Oh, for God's sake, come on, we've just won the cup.

Who are you? Who are you?

seems to be shaping up.

Oh, she's a bright kid.

Come on, she is now.

I can't believe this still goes on in this country.

Grabbing kids out of their beds and locking them up in prison. Well, it's

exactly prison, is it? Well, most detention centres are old prisons.

There's so much secrecy surrounding them.

God knows what really goes on inside.

Don't you think we have an obligation to send these people back to their own

countries? I mean, if we keep all the brightest, most educated kids, then what

chance have they got of getting back on their feet? Hear, hear.

Think of all the doctors over here who are immigrants, lawyers for that matter.

How's a country supposed to develop if it doesn't have people like that working

with it? You're just worried that it'll take all our help.

They can help mine.

If you really knew what these people have to go back to, you wouldn't be

supporting what is in effect institutionalised racism.

Jasmine, that's a bit strong. Are you calling me a racist? No, I'm just

anyone anything.

Oh, yeah?

Maybe you need to look at how you really feel about immigrants and asylum

seekers.

I think we all need a drink after work.

No, nothing.

Yeah, thanks a lot, girls.

Chloe, don't forget what we talked about, yeah?

What was all that about?

Oh, just getting on at me. Sounds like my grades improving's going to stop my

hairdressing. Oh, keep him sweet, give him some better grades.

Oh, yeah, like it's that easy.

What? It can be that easy if you want.

Eh?

I might be able to solve all your problems, come on.

I'll give you up with that.

No, I'm all right, thanks. Oh, it's a pleasure, yeah.

Thanks a lot.

Actually, while you're here, I just wanted to thank you, you know, for

our boat and get that working, Mr. Eudley.

And that extra money, it's helping towards housekeeping, you know, cashing

So he's working hard, is he? Yeah, he's doing about five or six hours a day. You

know, depending on other lads.

He gets a bit tired, but I always, always make sure he does his own work.

So these other lads, are they from here? I didn't know there were others.

No, they're from Croddale High School.

Same age as Bolton?

Yeah, it's great, innit? You know, teaching them the value of money and all

that. See you.

The answer to all your cards and problems.

What is it?

Helps you with your coursework, right?

You start getting better results than Tom from the back off, innit?

Is that what I think it is?

It's just an archive of past day -level essays.

Yeah, Chloe, it's a cheating site.

But do you want to do this hair salon thing or not?

Are you sure they won't know?

Have a look. There's over 2 ,000 essays on there. How are they going to read

them all?

The analysis of Faustus' soliloquy.

They're never going to know, Chloe.

Just... You pick the best rated.

I'm praying.

Janice is printing off the football pictures now.

Oh, and that was a borderline beef rookie, but I changed it.

Great. What about art? Is there any work we can borrow from someone?

Yeah. Yeah, I'll go into it. And when you've got it, get Bridget to back it

to Mr Charlton.

I'll do that.

Well done.

So...

How's our resident fascist doing, then?

Oh, it's all go. Just catching up with Mein Kampf Weekly.

She's just got caught up in it all. Yeah, well, maybe she should bear in

that she's still going to have to work with me when all this dies down.

All right.

Found one of these today.

Oh, yeah.

I saw Claire handing them out this morning.

What? You didn't think to tell me?

I didn't know I had to.

Well, when it comes to the girls, yeah. Yeah, yeah, I know. You have pretty set

ideas.

And you don't want to listen.

Well, they're my kids. I've got to keep tabs on them.

Well, you siding with them, that doesn't help me, does it? Look, Tom, I don't

know when to open my mouth when it comes to you and the girls.

Because you've made it very clear that I should keep my nose out. Well, that

doesn't mean you keep things from me, though. Well, I don't know.

But do you know what? This is ridiculous.

It's like you're using the girls to push me out of your life.

And to be honest with you, you're doing a very good job of it.

RMP's on the line for you.

Look, Mr Charlton, I've contacted the cabinet.

Yes, and the LEA, and they've both cited you being our local MP as the best

chance this girl has of getting a revoke.

I'm sorry, but with all due respect, this can't wait.

For me, we'll be taken out of the school, put on a plane today if we don't

now.

We need your support with the Home Office.

Yes, she's an incredibly bright pupil. She's an asset to the school, and we

you behind us.

I can get a file to you within the hour.

Oh, thank you, Mr Charlton. Thank you.

Yes, bye -bye.

Eddie, what were you doing this morning?

Stuart's furious. He's threatening all sorts of things. He's emailed me.

Let's have a look.

It's not enough, but it's working.

In the meantime, here we go.

Here we go what?

Child employment regulations. I've been doing a bit of digging.

Stuart contravenes most of those.

Are you serious?

Deadly. It's all in there.

They're not supposed to start before 7am. And they're not allowed to work for

more than one hour before school.

Candice tells me Bol's been working up to six hours a day. And there's other

kids his age doing the same.

I hope you're right about this, Eddie, because Stuart's hopping mad.

I don't know what you said to him. Look, trust me. I know what I'm doing.

Listen.

I need you to do something.

Steph.

I'm really sorry about what I said.

I know you're not racist. I just fell off the handle a bit.

Well, yeah, you did, actually.

And the thing is, Jasmine, I care about those kids just as much as you do.

And I don't care where they're from and I don't care what colour they are. Oh,

no, I know you don't.

It's just that... I can't bear to think about Simeon going to a country she

hardly knows where everything's going to be a real struggle for her. Yeah, well,

that's why we're doing what we're doing.

I know.

I'm really sorry.

She'll be all right, you know.

I know that Eddie's taken it too far. I know that now.

It's all out of control.

Are you trying to get your contract cancelled?

I just need you to know that it's got nothing to do with me, OK?

I don't... I don't care who it is, Rachel.

I strongly recommend that you persuade him to back off for your sake.

Look, we need to talk.

Urgently. I can't get over to you. Is there any chance that you can come here?

Okay.

Great.

Okay, well, thank you.

I hope this one is better, Miss Granger.

Yes. I hope so.

What's it like?

In Iran, I mean.

I don't really remember much about it.

It was only nine.

I know we lived just outside Hamadan, and we had to leave because my dad had

written something in a magazine.

He said it was an act against God.

We're going to hang him for it.

If you get to stay here, can your family stay too?

Yeah, if we're here back in time.

If not, I guess I'll be left here waiting.

My mum wants me to stay here.

No.

Don't look there.

You don't want to draw attention to yourself.

Get inside.

Hello? Thank you, Bridget.

So, have you found her?

No, we haven't, Miss Mason. But we have had a confirmed sighting.

A local resident saw a young girl in pyjamas running into the school grounds

early this morning.

If the mean is here, Miss Mason, you're splitting a family apart.

I assure you, something as easy as not here.

I believe what I need to talk.

Are you in there?

Elaine, what is going on?

Go get Miss Mason for me.

Elaine!

Elaine, open the door!

I think we just found our girl.

Rachel, come quickly. We've got a situation.

Samin, please open the door.

What's going on?

They're taking Samin. You what? Yeah.

What?

Can you move away from the door?

You assured us Samin wasn't in the school.

Look, we don't want to cause a fuss, but we've got a job to do. So please.

Co -operate with us.

Look, Samina at this very moment is having a case reviewed by the Home

If there is a fraction of a chance of her getting a stop order, I am not going

to help you.

Now, you're on school grounds and I remember asking you to leave. You are

harbouring an illegal immigrant, Miss Mason, which means by law we can force

entry and take her. It also means you are liable for prosecution.

Well, then we're at a standoff because by law I have to protect my pupils'

welfare.

Samin, please open the door.

Miss Mason, Mr Charlton's called.

The Home Office are looking at Samin's case and he hopes to have some news for

us soon.

OK, so all we can do is wait.

There better be that when he calls. Can I leave you in charge?

Of course.

You are not going out there. No way. They can't send you back to a country

you can't even speak the language.

Where's Miss Mason gone?

She said she was sorting it all.

Hiya, what's going on? Trying to take the mean away.

You fascists.

I know, yeah.

We're just trying to do our job.

So, please, get rid of this lot, will you?

No.

Samin, your family are getting ready to fly out.

Don't you want to be with them?

Must be very scary thinking of them going without you.

Listen, if you come with us, we can take you to them right now.

You're disgusting.

You spoke to Horda yet?

Yes, I have, but listen, immigration are back.

They know she's here, they're trying to take her. Her family need you to fly out

in four hours and I've still got no news on stop order. What if it doesn't come

through in time?

And if it does, we'd be responsible for splitting up the family. She'd be on her

own. Then if she gets sent back, there's no guarantee they'll be reunited.

I need to know we're not bullying her into making a decision she might regret.

Do you want me to talk to her?

She's really going through with the poor kid.

I thought teachers were supposed to give kids some respect for authority.

That, and encouraging them to think for themselves, yeah.

Let me through here, please.

Tom.

I'm going to talk to Samin.

I suggest you try not to inflame the situation.

I suppose we can wait.

She can't stay in there forever, can she?

Thanks.

Serene.

Serene.

It's Mr Lawson.

Open the door. I need to talk to you now.

Don't worry. They're not coming in.

What's up?

Got my essay plate.

Chloe, I've told you it's too late. You've already been graded on it.

This is for tomorrow.

All right.

Good.

So it's finally got through to you, has it, that this work is important to your

A -level results?

Good. Well done.

So, we haven't heard back yet about your appeal to revoke.

I haven't given up hope.

But there's a possibility it might not come through in time to stop your family

getting on that flight.

Samin, you need to start thinking about possible outcomes here.

You may have a very difficult choice to make about what you actually want to do.

If they go back, and then the appeal comes through.

I'll stay and finish here.

That's what my mum wanted and I'm not going to let her down.

You won't be letting her down no matter what decision you make.

Yeah, but her mum knows better than any of us what's going to happen to her over

there.

What will happen to my dad when he arrives back?

If I stay here, I might never know, but then if they send me back later, I might

never find them.

If they let you stay.

Maybe by the time you've finished your education, they may have found a way to

get back to you. I just... I don't know.

Or I might never see them again, Mr Lawson.

If I do get a stop order and they can't come back, where will I live?

Social services will find a place for you to live.

I'll have to go into care?

Yeah. No way.

I'm not a charity case.

Samin can live with me.

You can't say that, Daniel.

Guys, we have to face back.

Samin.

I'm not pretty, I'm afraid.

Mr Lawson, you have to bring Samin out now.

Mr Charlton should know the decision by the end of the day.

What does the end of the day mean?

That's a good question. We can only hope now, can't we?

Look, come and get me if the call comes through. I'm going to see what's

happening.

Maybe we could buy you some time to think.

Eddie, it's me. Can you open the door and let me in?

Mr Lawson, explain the situation.

Yes, Miss.

Look, there's still absolutely every hope of getting the stop order. I'm very

confident that we will.

But I know there's a lot more to it than that for you.

It's just not fair.

I don't know what to do.

What do you think I should do? You should stay right here.

At least you know if the appeal's going to work.

Yeah, I do, right? If I do, I might not see my family ever again.

I think that Samin needs some space.

I think it's time to go.

Come on, girls. Let's go.

She's right. I don't want to get anyone into any more trouble.

You should know.

Eddie.

Chase that decision.

Yeah.

Looks like we're going to need backup.

You've got someone free. Can you send them over?

Thanks. That was the police. They're sending support.

Is that what you want? If that's what it takes.

If I had a daughter, like you, I'd want her to grab

at a chance for the best start in life.

I'd want her to make the most of her potential and any possibilities that she

had.

Even if it meant you never saw her again?

Well, if being with her meant putting her in danger or making her life

then yes, I think so.

But what if she was just going to be left on her own and her life was going

be unhappy anyhow?

When would it be?

Being without your family?

If it worked, and I stay.

How am I supposed to enjoy my life when I don't know what's happening to my mum

and my dad and my little sister?

It's my fourth birthday next week.

My mum always told me that in life you're always going to be faced with

difficult choices.

You just have to make the best ones for now.

Well, if you want to make something of yourself, you will, no matter where you

are.

As long as I've got the support of my family.

I want my mum, Miss.

Are you sure?

Without being influenced by anyone, is that what you want?

I want to be with my family.

Of course you do.

And I'm sure that they want you more than anything else.

Okay?

I'll walk on my own.

Oh, no, I don't believe that. What's happened?

He's going.

Come back, please.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

You can't let her do this to me. It's not right.

You said the school would be doing something.

Why are you just standing back and letting them take her?

Why are you doing this?

Let her go!

I mean, if you go now, you might never be able to come back. I know that.

I have to go.

Thanks, Miss, for everything.

You've done your best by not giving her a good start.

You alright?

Me and you, I... I can't do this.

Yeah, I know.

You don't have to do anything else.

We're going to end up killing each other at this rate.

The girls are... They're my priority. They have to be.

They're my family.

It's probably best.

Yeah, it is.

Like I said, they're not my family, so I'd always be an outsider.

That won't work.

Have the time and other place, eh?

Something like that.

Just taken a call, the appeal to revoke.

They said many apologies, but they're sure they'll give us a decision first

thing in the morning.

She's gone.

Richard, thank you very much for today. You can go home now.

Looks like you've turned a corner.

Just been marking your work. Impressive stuff.

Keep it coming.

Hey, well done, you.

This might just work out a treat, eh?

Yeah.

I'm in.

Well, I've thought of it as politely as possible.

Under the circumstances.

Oh, well, I don't see the need for a manager in dealing with scum like you.

Let me make this clear, Rachel.

You get your crony off my back, or I will blow your nasty little Pandora's

wide open.

How long are you going to keep blackmailing me for, Stuart?

For as long as it takes.

Hello, Stuart.

Do you know, I'm sure I told you to keep away from Rachel, but as you're here,

I think you should see this.

What is it?

Employment rights for young people.

Of course, if you've broken any of those laws, you'll probably never work again.

And as I have our very interesting little blackmail chat on record, I think

we've got enough evidence.

To ensure that we do not see you here again.

You're bluffing.

Investigations into Haughty Construction.

Five years at Her Majesty's for blackmail. It's all starting to sound

tiresome.

How are you?

I'd quit while I was ahead.

You think it's a good idea having her on this place, do you?

Yeah.

I do, actually.

I bet you love working for a two -bit hooker, don't you?

I bet she gives it to you for free.

She wouldn't mind pissing off, Hordley.

You're starting to irritate us now.

Well, that's it. Do you think he's gone for good?

Absolutely.

What's that?

I mean...
