Go ahead.

Have a good day, mate. Don't be too long.

I can't believe it's the right room. I spoke to Rachel one week ago.

Me and your dad and I ended years and years ago. And you still feel fit to

it up. I'm sorry.

I'm your mum. That's supposed to mean something.

I needed someone to talk. So how much did you tell her?

Just about done.

I'm sure you didn't tell her earlier.

So much for funny loyalty, eh?

Right. I'm late.

Can't keep Rachel waiting. How can I?

Mum!

Oh, Eddie, thank you so much for coming early. Where's Melissa?

Oh, she's coming.

Good. Look, the inspector says she's going to be here just after eight, so I

not like everything organised by then. I can't stand looking forward to this.

We're going to be fine.

So am I. God, this inspection, nightmare or what?

It's a spot inspection.

I know we're not going to see anything as polished as the scheduled inspection.

I know, but it's the first day with the new caterers. Our crash is so full you

could mistake this place for a baby factory.

Plus, we've got a long list of kids who could kick off at any moment. Great. We

have got no reason to be embarrassed about the crash. We should be proud of

As far as problem students, you know, that's what we do.

These are the kids we teach.

OK. Message received. Loud and clear.

Well, I just want this day to be as hassle -free as possible.

OK. Oh, and Eddie, can you keep an eye on Earl Kelly?

Do you know, I think Earl Kelly's really turned a corner. This thing he's got

going with Maxine Barlow. It's had a really good effect on him. OK. Roll on

Can't stop, right?

Good, fingers crossed.

You might as well come home with me tonight.

Hi, Mads.

Well, whatever happened, yeah? My sister's still at the yard, so it's not

I'm going to disappear.

See you later, yeah?

Yeah, sure.

Hey, you're clean, aren't you?

Smells like nerves in it.

I'm not sure how today's going to go.

Well, every day's a big day when you run your own business.

I've got my meeting later on with social services.

See if I can get my kids back.

Yeah? Don't worry, it's after lunch.

I didn't mean it like that, it's just... I know.

We can't screw this up.

We've got to stay focused.

What stops we off now?

I know.

Serious? Yeah, I mean, we've talked about it.

I know, but I thought we were just talking.

I want us to have a baby.

I know what happened with you last time, but it's not going to be like that.

I thought we wanted the same thing.

We do, but why not wait a bit till we're left cool?

Because it feels right, doesn't it?

I mean, we want to be together.

We could have a home.

That's more important than that.

It's not that simple.

If you want something and you can get it, then you can be mad not to take it.

You're not going to answer that.

Are you listening to what I'm saying to you?

I'm not talking about doing homework or something.

I'm talking about us having a kid.

And a home.

A proper one.

Something that me and you would never have.

That's what I want, but maybe I should have just kept my mouth shut.

I want it, too.

Mr.

Cleaver? Miss Qureshi?

Did you bring my stuff?

It's in the car. It's in the car, it's fine.

I promise I will bring it in first period, OK?

That smile that inspectors have that bothers me.

I mean, if they just came in and said, we're here to shaft you, at least you

know where you're stood.

But surely you've seen enough of them not to be bothered any more.

It's a bit like going to the doctors for a prostate check.

I mean, no matter how much you brace yourself, it's always more demeaning and

embarrassing than you remember.

Well, it would have to be today.

I've got the inspectorship institute established.

I think the inspector's there to watch them.

Tell them it's an educational psychologist.

That'll shut them up.

I don't see what all the fuss is about.

Oh, yeah? Why is that, then? Just polished the gym floor, have we?

Finally mastered the offside rule.

Sport is a constant test, isn't it? There's no hiding behind marking or

paperwork or... Between 15 at Newmarket...

Don't you dare.

Just wait there like I told you to, okay?

Don't go out, don't do anything until I get there, right? I'm okay, Earl.

What's it got to do with you?

Do you want to start that again?

I'm sorry, miss.

Right.

How are you feeling about today?

Your social services assessment.

Yeah, that was mum on the phone then. She's stressing.

Well, all the more reason to go easy on her, isn't it?

We've got a big day as well today. We've got the inspectors coming in. So I only

want to hear good things about you. And do not let me see you with that phone

again, right?

Sure thing, mate.

What did I just say?

That was me.

Come on then, like, show us what you can do.

This phone is...

Miss Mason, thanks for the welcoming, committee.

Some schools don't bother these days.

I'm here to assess the school.

I don't expect you to have had a cure for teenage boys.

That's a relief.

Well, as you know, we are a broad -based community school.

Recent innovations. We've got a breakfast club, a creche, adult... That

sounds great, but let's start with the basics, shall we?

How about we kick off with the three R's? Mr Lawson's Year 11 maths class.

Really? Well, that set does contain some of our most challenging pupils.

Including the infamous Earl Kelly.

Yeah. Earl Kelly is quite a star at the LEA.

I want to see him in action.

So think hard about how Bronte creates sympathy for the character of Jane Eyre.

Just concentrate on your work, everyone. You've got 12 minutes to get the

answer. Mrs. Qureshi. Mr. Cleaver.

I was teaching materials that you wanted.

Yeah, thank you.

Mr Cleaver.

My pleasure.

Carry on with your work, guys.

Oh.

Oh, my gosh.

Miss, you dropped your knickers.

Yeah.

You can do so much better.

She's well just showing off.

Just concentrate on your work, please.

I can't believe a look.

Someone like her pulling someone like Mr Cleaver.

Probably just trying to be kind. Thanks, Alicia.

I don't think teachers should be allowed.

Not with each other. It's not fair enough.

I know. It's like the images have been burnt into my brain.

Come on, get back to work. Yeah, but Miss, it's not me throwing my knickers

the floor now, is it?

We've got ten minutes.

So, they take £15 ,000 on the door. The promoter takes 15%.

The remaining balance is split between the band in the ratio 2 to 3 to 5.

15 grand.

Some pricey dough. Was it made from gold?

So how much does each band member get?

Anyone?

The total number of shares is what?

10. And 13 and a half grand divided by 10 is what?

1 ,350.

Therefore, the split is...

2 ,700, 4 ,050 and 6

,750 to the lead singer.

Which isn't bad considering he probably mimed to a backing track.

And what with the bar takings, the vending machines and the cloak rooms,

club doesn't do too badly either.

Thank you.

You all right, love?

Listen, do you fancy a takeaway tonight, eh?

I've got an outing, and after a day of random inspection, I will not fancy

to the shop.

You like?

Um, it's meant to be a treat.

Sorry. Can Earl come round for dinner tonight? Oh, Max, are you... Steph,

serious.

Me and Earl, we're thinking about starting a family.

A family?

Yeah, that's right.

With Earl Kelly?

Maxine, you can't be serious.

I know what you think. It's not like that.

We've been talking about it and planning it, and it's changed. It really has.

Oh, Max.

Steph, you should hear him. You should hear how he talks about having a baby,

how he talks about me.

Because he's telling you what you want to hear, so that he can twist you around

his little finger like he does with everybody else. You're wrong. He loves

Max, if I had a pound for every time... This is different.

Max.

Sir, we've done this before. You don't do poetry, Langley.

Repeated study enhances our understanding and our enjoyment.

Miss Shackleton, I'm sure Miss Fellows would be interested in your

input into a lesson like this.

Is everything ready for Miss Fellows? I thought you were showing up. What have

you thought wrong?

Again?

Rachel, haven't we been over this?

Have you talked to Eddie yet? No. As I keep telling you, there is no need

because I applied for the divorce months ago. Right, so you're just going to

keep on lying to him in the hope that it's going to come through before you

commit bigamy? I'm not lying to him, Rachel.

You're hardly telling the truth, are you? I don't know what you're talking

about. Anyway, you're basing all this on the words of a child.

Yes, I am. He's your son and he's afraid you are going to commit a crime. Look,

everything is going to be fine when the divorce comes through. Oh, right.

If it ever does come through.

You don't believe me, do you? No, I don't, Melissa. I don't believe you at

And why should I? Look at Paul Reddy. He believes you're single. And what's it

going to do to him?

Hello,

Miss Vallis.

So are you ready for your full -on whistle -stop tour of Waterloo Road's

extended services?

Sounds hugely exciting, but I've got that down for period three.

I'm looking for a year nine history class. Well, let me show you the way.

It's very easy to lose your bearings around here.

I'm gone. You know, I have a baby with her.

We were just talking about it.

What, now?

Yeah. Are you mad?

You're as bad as Steph. How come everyone was happy for Chloe?

All I mean is, babies are usually accidents, aren't they? Exactly, but

not like that. He's planning it.

We're going to get a place so when the baby comes, it's in a proper home.

He's all day dark.

That's not good, that did. She's always hated her.

Well?

You and all, eh, Janice?

No.

Do you know what people say?

They don't know him and neither do you.

You should have heard him. He knew all about the other baby. He understands

it's a big deal for me.

He really cares, you know. But still.

But nothing.

Janice.

He's supposed to be my best mate.

Max, did you see what I bought?

He had to go somewhere. Appointment with your social worker.

Oh, wait a minute. That was yesterday.

He just left. Call him and ask him if you want.

What?

Janice, Earl means everything to me.

He makes me feel dead special. But if you can't be happy for me, then...

But, you know... I just saw Rob with Balton.

Yeah, they're going to be training every day from now on.

He's quite full on, isn't he?

Rob? Just a little.

Whatever he does, he does to the max.

No, I mean with Balton.

How do you mean?

Well, the way he pushes him, it's... Yeah, Rob's a motivator.

He sees his role as unlocking the kid's potential.

No, but... But what, Davina?

What are you trying to say?

Well, from what I saw, it didn't look good.

You know, he was standing over him, shouting at him.

Excuse me, ladies.

Oh, Jess, I... I even saw him kick him, OK?

No.

Rob wouldn't do that. He's not like that.

I'm telling you because...

Because from what I saw, it looked like bullying.

Look, with a baby, we'll get priority on the council. Won't we? We'll be set up.

We're going to live as the least of it.

Think of all the things that are going to change.

I want things to change.

Earl will be a brilliant dad.

Can't see that happening.

You don't know him like I do. And his sister?

Exactly, did he talk to you about his feelings and stuff?

He doesn't have any. Not any normal ones, anyway.

There you go, see, you've got no idea.

Well,

there's the man himself.

Who's that?

Oh, look at the state of her.

Oh,

that's that Jade Donaghy. She was in his last class at his old school.

And what's she doing here?

Playing trucks.

Nah, she's probably at the streets and he's just pimping her. Shut up!

I'll go anywhere. Just get off me!

I want the money or you're getting nothing!

What?

Like I said, she's run back home.

It's a long way to come to say hello. She just turned up.

She's mentally... It's like she's stalking me or something.

But why is she even here? She'll look like a junkie. Tell me about it.

I was just trying to help the girl, but now she won't leave me alone.

So why not be straight with me?

Because she means nothing.

Not compared to what we're talking about.

So you're not selling her drugs or anything?

What? No.

And she's not on the game?

Max, whatever her problem is, it's nothing to do with me. She was just in

area begging for money.

And you know me, I was just trying to do the decent thing.

But I just didn't want you and the social worker to see me with her.

And you and this Jade, were you ever an item?

Yeah, but years ago.

And Max, she's got nothing on you.

And I'm not going to let that skank screw us two up.

Max, you are everything that I want.

Yeah?

Yeah.

And I can't wait until tonight.

Why? What's happening tonight?

Well, you tell me. What, if we're going to be having a baby?

I want to be ready for this.

Organised. Well, that doesn't mean that... We've got to practice, haven't

I always thought Maxine was quite sussed.

She has chosen the nastiest, most untrustworthy little scrote going.

I'm sure most parents of teenage girls feel a little bit like that about their

boyfriends. Earl isn't exactly your average scrope, though, is he? She's

it to wind me up.

It isn't about you.

That's easy for you to say, Matt.

Yeah, maybe, but it's not like you kicking off is going to change Maxine's

is it?

Meet her halfway.

Meaning? Why don't you give Earl a chance?

Talk to him.

Matt's right.

If you're going too hard, you're just going to push them closer together.

then you're going to be stuck with a little sod.

Don't tell me I have to like him, Tom. OK, forget Al.

Make this about you and Maxine. Show her that you're on her side, no matter

what. But if you do him best, you know, then he's going to lose his rebellious

appeal. She'll look elsewhere.

Reverse psychology.

Parental approval, the great passion killer.

Everybody thought that Sam was a lost cause from a family of hopeless cases,

all she ever needed was a chance, a bit of time, a bit of respect.

She's a lucky girl.

Yeah, he might well be heading home today.

How did we end up like this?

Have you heard us?

None of us have had kids, but here we are, a trio of anxious parents worrying

about our troublesome teenagers.

It's certainly gone fast.

Well, some schools are in serious denial about pupil parenting. Here, we try to

give them as much support as possible.

Some people might say that by supporting them, you're encouraging them. Well,

all we're doing is helping them continue their education. Here, a mum is

learning and she's getting help with childcare.

Plus, a lot of our other students like to help out here.

Hi, ma 'am.

Which means they have a much better idea of what's actually involved when it

comes to making their own decisions.

So you're seeing it work as a deterrent?

Hand on series can only be a good thing.

The more mum knows, the better for everyone.

Maxine.

Nobody wants to stop you doing what you want with your life.

I've always thought you'll make a smashing mum.

You could afford me.

It's just, you're so young. Why not wait a bit?

I'm old enough. It's not like it'll be my first time. Yeah, but that's just it.

You know how big a deal it is.

Why don't you at least wait till after your exams, eh? Give yourself a chance.

Earl doesn't want to.

And what do you want?

We want the same. That's why Earl's special.

Oh, Maxine.

We all... want to have a bit of fun but having a baby with the likes of earl

kelly because you're an expert on all this having kids and relationships yeah

What? You been inspected yet?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, he seemed really nice.

Really? Good.

Did you strain things out with Philip?

I hope so. Has he said anything to you, has he? No.

You and Rachel were niggling at each other earlier.

Yeah, you know, sister stuff.

So between her and Philip, you're not exactly flavour of the month, are you?

No. Oh.

You'd better not fall out with me then, are you really, in this duck?

Hey, sort it out with Rachel, whatever it is. It doesn't do anyone any good to

work in an atmosphere like that.

Hey.

I'm sorry about earlier.

Sorry about all this... mess.

I don't want to muck Eddie around, you know that.

Then don't.

I'm sorry too.

I've probably been way too heavy -handed about the whole thing, haven't I?

You have a bit.

It's just because Philip was so upset about it, Melissa.

I mean, you and Eddie, you're both adults and you've both been round the

few times.

But Philip, he's...

Well, as you know, he's at a very difficult age, and it's going to be hard

enough for him to see you get married again without all... I know, I know. I

think he feels very conflicted. He really likes Eddie, but his dad is still

dad, and I've just got to make the whole thing worse.

Come on. It's easily fixed, eh?

Eh?

When everything's straightened out and your divorce comes through, like you

all this will be forgotten.

And I think that you three can be... You can be really happy together, can't

you?

All sorted.

Thanks, Rach.

Thank you. OK.

It's saying that things can only be perfect in our minds, not in the real

OK. Yeah, and that you've got to accept life the way it is.

Things can't always be perfect.

Good.

Voting with your feet, Dante.

Hemingway would have been proud. I'm not.

I've got to go. I've got an appointment.

Quick as you can.

Right. Back to the real world.

Maxine. I've got to go to the toilet.

Can't it wait till break?

No, sorry.

Anyone else?

Sorry, Minister Clarkson, but I actually need to get to my next talk.

Settle down.

Jade, isn't it?

You looking for her?

Yeah. Do you know where she is?

Yeah, but you can't do this today.

But I need my money.

Some of it at least.

Earl wants to help his kind, but you can't understand that... Kind?

Are you joking, aren't you?

Like I said, he wants the help. I don't want help.

I want my money.

Your money.

Ed, come back here.

If money's all you're after, he hasn't got a lot of it.

We need it.

You can't just turn up and bleed us dry.

You what?

What, do you want it for a drug?

No. What then?

For the baby.

What baby?

Earl's baby.

That's what I want the money for.

Oi! Come back!

Whoa.

I'm nervous.

I don't see why you're so nervous.

It's exciting, babe.

It is what it is.

Our little baby on screen.

And you two are going where?

Hospital, miss.

Are you okay?

Prenatal scan.

Yeah, and we're going to be late if we don't.

Quite a production line you've got going.

You're lying!

There's no baby. You're just trying hard to get money out of him.

So how old is it then?

Three days.

You think I normally look like this? Because you're lying!

You're just trying hard to get cash out of Will because you know that he's soft

like that.

Come and see it if you like.

Finish that, yeah.

What does it look like?

I've only got one pair of hands.

If you want to have done faster, we should have hired an octopus.

They'd have to be cheap to cover our profit margins.

Rose, could I have a word?

It's about your Earl.

Oh, what's he done now? Nothing. It's just that now that he and Maxine are

dating, I thought we might have a little chat. Our last one was a bit awkward.

Sure, he's not on anything, only I've lost him. No, no, no, no. It's just he

I got off on the...

The wrong foot, as it were.

That'll be Earl.

He's always been like that. First day at nursery, smacked a key worker in the

mouth with a boseman hat on. A kid, eh?

Anyway, I just little thought kept one of her teeth in his pocket all the way

through primary.

A trophy, the psychologist said.

Ayrshire's deep, Tom. He's a smashing lad. I'm sure he is.

Just talk to him. He responds to that, you know, sure we all do.

He'd really appreciate that from you. He's crazy about your Maxine.

There you go.

Good, healthy heartbeat.

That's our baby, Chloe.

That's our baby.

You are going to be the best mum on earth.

And I swear, I'm going to do everything I can to help you.

Our baby.

Oh, yeah, right. You left the baby here all alone with your... He's been doing

that, like, all the time. He's doing my head in. Please, just do something.

I can't stand it.

I know I shouldn't have left him.

But he was crying and crying and I didn't have any cash left.

And I went answering my calls.

This is really Earl's baby.

Now can I have my money?

I've got like 12 quid.

Well, forget it then.

What? That'll do for nappies and stuff.

Where's the rest?

The five grand.

For the baby.

What? I don't care what Earl says.

I just want my money and I want rid of it as soon as possible. That was the

deal. You're going to sell this baby?

Yeah.

And Earl knows this?

Of course, it was his idea.

To begin with, he was all, we're going to start a family and it'll be great,

then he came back and said we'd both be quids in if we flogged it.

Are you okay with that?

Yeah.

I mean, being here's not great, but we had to stop social workers getting it.

But five grand's loads.

What else am I going to do?

Play happy family?

With him?

Get out of it.

I'd rather die.

Yeah, great. Thanks for asking.

I just thought we might have a little chat.

You know, seeing as how we're going to be seeing a fair bit of each other with

you and Max being, well, you know.

Do you know what, Steph? I'd love to, but I'm really busy right now.

But I'll tell you what, I'm coming round to yours later, so maybe we can do it

then.

Yeah?

What's for tea?

Oh, better yet, surprise me.

See you later.

If you can say it about me and my coaching, then you can say it to my

Yeah?

It was a private conversation.

With a friend.

Oh, well, that makes it all right then, doesn't it?

Yeah.

I said it looked like you were bullying him.

Right. And the way you're acting now makes me think that I was right.

What's going on?

Nothing. Just a bit of backstabbing.

Did you expect me not to tell? And so what?

I'm supposed to turn a blind eye, am I? Oh, grow up. It was coaching.

Oh, grow up, mate. A man hurling abuse at a school kid. You ought to keep a

shorter leash on her, mate. She doesn't know what she's talking about.

So you're saying you didn't kick him either?

No, I didn't kick him. Well, you're a liar and a bully then. You're the liar.

What are you, jealous or something?

Jealous of having a bully as a boyfriend? You don't shut up about that.

Tom,

leave! Tom, leave it!

Hey! Tom! Rob!

What's going on?

Never mind me.

I'll speak to you later.

Want more, you reckon?

No, just a couple of stragglers.

Here you go, love.

Your sausages.

Hey,

we did good, didn't we? Yeah, just like normal.

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

We were in charge. We did it.

Oh, look, go on, get going. No, no, I wasn't...

Go on, get going.

And I want you to promise me that you'll come back and tell me how it went.

Oh, you ain't going to want to see me if it goes badly. It won't.

Come here.

Oh, look.

You've done lots already.

And if you can convince me, a social worker will be a walkover.

Go on, darling.

Just eat quick, yeah? Cos that food on your cheek where you keep mucking your

mouth.

Dead sexy, that is.

Sure.

I guess at least your mum gets to feed you guys up at lunchtime.

Myself a bit.

Yeah, normal times from now on.

Not if it goes well at the social.

What?

Nothing, just... It's good to see you as a positive.

Where have you been?

I couldn't find you at dinner.

I've lost my appetite.

What?

You and me.

Over.

Finished.

You're dumping me. Oh, well done.

Well, what about tonight?

Well, there's EastEnders, followed by... Max, what's going on? As if you didn't

know.

This morning we were...

Try it on someone who doesn't think you're scum.

I know.

Know what?

Whatever anyone said is lies.

Earl, I've spoken to Jade.

What? That skank?

I've held the baby. I know what you were going to do to it.

That's Jade's baby.

I wish I had never said...

Miss Mason, come down for a game?

No, actually, it was... It was boxing that I wanted to have a word about, and

fighting in general.

Yeah, what happened in the staff room was completely unacceptable, and I

apologise for my part in it.

I mean, it is bad enough having the kids square up against each other, but

teachers, in front of an inspector... I know, I apologise.

It won't happen again, I promise.

Good.

It's the cause of the argument that I'm worried about.

People just don't understand what we're doing.

Well, that just means that we have to be all the more careful.

But you of all people know that boxing in schools is controversial.

Don't make it any more so.

I'm teaching Bolton to hit and to be hit. And to do that, he's got to be

And it's my job to toughen him up.

You cannot approach it in the same way as any other subject.

Rob, this is a quiet word.

Adina does not know what she's talking about.

I'm not accusing you or confronting you.

I am quite happy to keep boxing as an option here. It just means that you have

to make sure that you handle it the appropriate way, okay?

Huh? Yeah.

We'll have to come under scrutiny and criticism at times. It's just part of

job.

Maybe Bolton isn't the only one who needs to toughen up, you know.

It's just sick.

It's disgusting.

I just feel so stupid.

I really thought it was changing.

That I'd seen a side of him no one else had.

And then I find out about this.

He's just a dog. He's not worth it.

I've been going around telling everyone how serious he was about me.

How they were wrong about him.

Then this.

Do you reckon he was going to sell yours or not?

I don't know.

No, it doesn't matter.

Who wants to be with someone like that? Someone who could do that?

Wait until everyone finds out why you dumped him. Realise what a scumbag he

I can't help no one, okay?

How stupid would I look then?

Or will they think I was part of it? No, they won't. That poor little thing.

It's never done anything to anyone.

But it's got them two for parents.

Not for long. Not if it's got anything to do with it. Definitely not.

Way I'm letting them sell it.

Anyone's better than them two.

It'll go to someone that wanted it.

But who?

Some freak of it, isn't it?

Earl's not going to get hurt as long as he gets his money.

If you grass them up, everyone's going to know.

I'm not having that baby on my conscience.

No way.

If Steph and everyone says I told you so and I'm fair enough, they were right.

Earl's not going to be happy.

about anyone else's feelings and the whole of his life for him.

Well, you know what to do then. Just a phone call and it's over.

No,

Sambuca.

It's not press one for sale to hold a speech to an operator.

Friends should be spoken with feeling. It should be spoken with love.

Steph. Yes, Maxine, how can I help you?

I need to talk to you.

Well, quickly.

Outside.

After the class would be more suitable, Maxine.

Right.

I'm sorry, Steph.

I'm sorry.

Bolton. Can you pass the boots down, please?

Just because you're not going to read them, Smiley, no need to chuck them

Rob told me.

Well, you had no right to.

Just leave us alone.

This is the best thing I've ever done and you're messing it up.

I was concerned for your welfare.

Don't turn this into some sort of a theatrical performance.

But that's Miss Shackleton, sir.

One of them do -gooders that's always sticking her nose in.

Sorry for being so snappy this morning.

I spoke to Rachel and I've smoothed things over with her.

With Rachel?

Yeah. I've explained that the wheels are in motion and it's only a matter of

time before your dad and I are legally divorced.

Yeah, but it's not just you and my dad, is it?

Philip.

Well, you were still married when you married my dad and until you thought

out, you're a bigamist.

Don't say that word.

You're going to be a double bigamist.

People go to prison for that, Mum.

What I'm not going to, am I? Because no one's going to blab about it, are they?

It's not fair on Eddie, though, is it?

Look, Phil.

Phil, we can't tell Eddie.

If we do, he's not going to stick around, really.

If you want to let a few bureaucratic details ruin my life, well, our life,

you just go ahead. You do what you have to do.

The baby's in it. The first of them boarded up houses on Dunn Street.

Be quick, please. It's urgent.

OK.

I don't think I can face going back out there.

It's easy to all wag off on one condition.

In what? You cheer up. This is over and done with now.

If I have to spend the rest of the day with my idea, I'll take the chances on

budging. Come on.

And you'd better switch that off as well.

Yeah, come on, let's get out of here.

Max, it's me.

Look, I'm sorry I couldn't talk to you before.

Can you just give me a ring and let me know you're OK?

Hi. Hello?

Have you seen Max? He's not in class.

I'm not cropped with her. I'm just worried about her.

Is this Chuck Dirl?

Chuck Dirl? Why? What's he done?

I don't know.

She was furious with him earlier.

He looked well -mental.

So how did the day go?

Well, I set out to cover a wide cross -section of subject, activity and age

group. But, uh, overall... Uh, overall?

The range of social problems that affects your students is acutely

But the way the school rises to the challenge is impressive.

You've taken a brave step in extending the reach of the school beyond the

classroom.

And in the main, it's been successful.

There's clear progress in all areas highlighted at your last full

And the postural care is really good, particularly in the case of the Kelly

family. There are weak points, but nothing drastic.

You should be proud.

Thank you.

And?

They can come home.

Oh. All of them? Yay!

Oh,

today has been the best day.

Sounds like having you.

My mum says we can go back to my brother.

Which should be a laugh, we'd lot back together.

Just hope it works out.

Yeah, of course.

Never has done it, Pat.

Not all my family.

Just one crisis after another.

Well...

This time will be different.

And besides, you'll have a say in how it works out. You should be positive.

Yeah? Yeah, it's really good news.

You keen to get rid of me?

No, of course not.

I want what's best for you.

You're only joking.

I wasn't.

Sam, I want you to be happy.

And if you ever need any help, or if...

You just need a space to chill.

I'm here, okay?

Tell your mum that I'm happy for her, too.

Why don't you tell her yourself?

You're having to do what I asked tonight. You should come round.

No, no, no.

It's a family thing.

But if she ever needs my help, then I'm here, okay?

See you later.

Come for a drink.

Help me drown my sorrows.

I've got to go and check on Maxine, make sure she's okay.

Oh, what's up?

Earl Kelly.

Good old Earl, eh? Oh, give the lad a break. He really stepped up to the plate

today.

Shit, you're out Nigella, what's the thing? I thought this is the least I

do. I was so mean to Steph earlier on.

You know what, even if you binned him, I reckon that'll do the trick all

together, mate.

You know what the best thing is?

After him, anyone's going to seem like Prince Charming. No way, I am done with

boys. Nothing but aggro.

I'm going to become a nun.

Yeah, right.

I'm dead Syrian.

Bye -bye.

Are you joking?

The nose on him would be like snogging an elephant.

Leave him at Dermot? No, wait. He went out with Tanya Evans. He'd need

disinfecting. Pete Williamson?

Oh. All right, if you're twisting my arm.

What?

You need to listen to me.

Out the way.

Out the way.

Move out the way.

Nothing you say is going to make any difference to her.

Besides, you can't come in here telling her what to do. She dumped you. I'd deal

with it.

Get out.

Do you think you are?

I said get out.

It's got nothing to do with you.

What are you doing here? Why bring the gun?

Because I need you to listen to me.

All this is... It's a misunderstanding.

But you're not letting me explain.

And you need a gun for that?

Please? I need you right now.

Oh, Barry!

Hey! Oh!

Oh, I'm so proud of you.

All of you, even Earl, wherever he's got to. He should be here, but it doesn't

matter because we're all under the same roof now and that's the important thing

is nothing ever tears this family apart again, yeah?

Put the kettle on then, yeah? Oh, yeah, I've got some really nice cake.

Come on.

Come on.

All of it was for you, you know.

Everything.

Why do you think I waited until now to start talking about a family?

You thought you found someone else stupid enough to let you get him

You and Jade are completely different.

How can you compare yourself to that flag?

That money would have set us up, Max.

Ten grand.

For us.

For our baby.

Just like a proper family.

And what about Jade's baby?

Who cares?

The social services will be all over it now anyway.

How can you talk about family when you don't care what happens to your own

child?

But we'd be different, Maxine.

Because we love each other.

You know what?

Listening to you now, I reckon you must be even madder than what everybody said

you were.

Max, I'm sorry.

I was so happy, but now... What you've done... I

despise you.

Max.

You can't keep saying these things.

Why are you doing this to me, Maxine?

I'd do anything for you.

Nothing you do is any good, Earl. Max.

Only happy when everyone around you is miserable or scared.

Everything you touch is poison and twisted.

Sick little boy.

They'll come in, Max. I swear they'll help you.

I'm here.

I'm here.

I'm sorry.

Max.

Don't leave me, Max.

Please don't leave me.

No.

Maxie. No.

Well, thanks for your input.

It's been a pleasure.

Careful.

You'll be saying that to you soon, and I'll know you're lying.

She didn't listen to me.

I tried.

She didn't listen.

never have even been at this school.

Anyone else would have slung him out ages ago, but not us.

We had to keep him as a little pet project to show how progressive we were.

Is this bad enough for you, eh?

She died at birth.

And that magazine was doing it with me.

Oh, Steph, let's get you out of here.

Come on.

It was her home.

She should have been safe here.

She should have been safe with me.
