Original subtitles

Oh, uh, you're early. I brought breakfast.

Mum's always going on about not taking exams on her next summit, so...

Oh, well, the good thing about the A -level's been almost over. There's no

early morning study sessions.

Oh, I didn't realise there was such a hassle for you.

Oh, they're not.

Don't be silly. I just really like a lie -in.

Well, this'll wake you up.

Guinea latte with caramel.

I've stopped off at that Italian place on way over.

Well, you shouldn't have, Rose.

But I'm not going to deny that I could do with one, thank you.

Did something happen?

No, it's nothing for you to worry yourself about, Rose.

Right, are there any areas you think could do with a last -minute brush -up?

go on, tell me.

I might be able to help.

No events or anything, but it's not exactly work -related, so... Well, I'm

hardly going to spread it around the sixth -form common room, am I?

It's silly. I had a fight with my girlfriend last night and we broke up,

all. You have a girlfriend?

Had.

But she wasn't very happy with my work -life balance.

You're a teacher.

You've always been a teacher.

It's not as if the hours have changed.

Oh, she thought you were spending too much time with me. I didn't say that.

But she wasn't exactly thrilled when I had to cancel dinner last week to stay

school and help you with your presentation, so...

Okay, we're going to do chapter three, and I will go and finish getting ready.

You're not taking this seriously. I appreciate your enthusiasm.

Honestly, Adam, I really do. Don't let me run with this. I mean, think of all

the kids whose first stop when they leave here is, you know, the chippy or

burger van.

I mean, this...

A takeaway idea could really change things. Yes, it could, if we had the

But it won't cost much, like I promised.

I'll use the leftovers from lunch. I'll even donate my own time, free of charge.

You know, there's nothing I'd like more than to provide healthy after -school

meals for the kids. But it's too much organisation, and this week I just

got the time. Look, this is my project. I'll do all the work, as long as you

promise not to steal the glory when it's a massive success.

Come on, Rachel.

Just...

Well, trust me, will you?

OK.

But don't let it get in the way of your other work. It won't.

I promise.

Well, I imagine there's going to be a few nervous six -formers milling around,

so if everyone can do their bit and, you know, just keep them quiet around the

school hall, that'd be great.

And can I just say a big thank you to everyone who helped out with the APU

scheme this term? Well done, everyone.

Hopefully, we'll have Waterloo Road's first Oxbridge undergraduate by the end

the summer.

You need to wait for three people to do their exams so I can get this rubbish

out of my head.

This is so not fair. Why can't we go first?

Because it's in alphabetical order.

A for Alicia.

OK, everyone, I want you to take two stimulus cards and head to the quiet

please.

Morning, ladies.

Ready for your oral examination?

Do you want it while you're stressing up there? What do you mean, you're

stressing? All this for talking, and with a gob like that, you're bound to

an A.

Oi!

If you're not doing French, do you want to do one?

OK. Hey,

remember, use that gob of yours, it'll get you far.

Morning, Miss Lipset. Hi, Jess.

Two cards each, and then over to the quiet classroom, please, where there is

be absolute silence from everyone, and I will call you when it's your turn, OK?

Gary Appleby.

Hey, shut up, you.

OK, I'll ask him.

All right, see you later.

That was your dad.

He wants us to join him for dinner tonight. Tonight?

Actually, I think I might be busy.

What happened to making an effort, eh?

Fine.

Dinner. Kim, how do you fancy a slap -up meal tonight, courtesy of Meade Senior?

Oh, um... Oh, come on. You can keep him company while I'm smooching with Ollie

in the corner.

Oh, crack a smile, faceache. I'm only joking. What do you think?

Absolutely. I think Kim's trying to say that she's busy.

Yeah, I've got an antenatal. Sorry.

Hey, Ros.

Whenever you're ready.

French oral exam, student Rosemary Cain.

Chris,

have I done something wrong?

It's not like I'm dying to go for dinner with you and stuff, but I did just get

the impression that you weren't that keen on me coming.

I just don't think it's a good idea, that's all.

Is this something to do with what happened at the hospital?

Well, I just think that if we're just friends, let's not complicate things.

Won't do us any harm to keep our distance.

I didn't mean to.

Hurt your feelings.

I've got a lot going on at the moment.

It's not a pillow stuffed up my dress, you know.

I know that.

Not that it matters to me.

Well, it matters to me.

After everything that's happened with Max, now I've got the baby, I just want

concentrate on that.

I don't think it's the best time for me to be starting a relationship.

Fine.

We're just friends.

I accept it.

Just give me a bit of space, yeah? Let me move on with things.

Thank you, Ros. I don't suppose you can tell me... Absolutely not. Completely

against school policy.

What I will say, though, is well done.

If you do that well on the written this afternoon, you're going to be

getting dropped off outside a student accommodation before you know it. I

believe I've done it.

I got you...

It's just to say thank you for everything.

I could never have done it without you.

Rose, it's lovely that. Thank you very much.

I've got loads of other exams to do, so... It's me and you in the park,

remember?

Half an hour studying, two hours chatting about random rubbish. Yeah, but

were chatting in French, so it does still count.

Well, yeah, but how many people can you do that with? Just talk for hours.

You've been so good to me.

Stop.

Stop. Stop.

Okay.

Sorry. Bad timing.

Oops.

Can I just have a little...

Chat about our living arrangements.

Yeah, of course you can.

Oh, do you know, I know we haven't always been the best of friends, but I'm

always going to be so grateful for you for taking me in, Steph.

Yeah.

It's just that living together has been... Has been a

nightmare of biblical proportions and she wants you out.

Grantly. Well, would you rather dance delicately around the subject till we

expire of boredom? Oh, just... Just ignore him, Ruby. I didn't mean that at

It's just that the arrangement has always been, has it not, temporary.

Yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah.

I mean, it goes without saying that you can stay there until you find yourself

somewhere decent.

Well, I mean, there's no point in being polite about it. I'll just get out of

your hair as soon as I can.

Shh, there's an exam going on.

Right, Tom.

Can I have a word, please?

Yeah, of course you can.

This is awkward.

Maybe I shouldn't even be talking about it.

True.

Ross McCain tried to kiss me.

I just came to see how you're doing. It looks like I've got my answer.

You just asked me to move out and I haven't got a clue where I'm going to

Where did you get these from?

Well, it's just a few tablets. It's no big deal.

Rachel needs to know about this. No, Adam, please.

Look, Rachel's got me on a final warning and I'm just hanging on to the job by

the skin of my teeth.

OK, then prove to me that you can do your job.

Go one day...

Without taking any pills.

I know it'll be hard, but... What if we get you something else to focus on?

I'm starting to run a takeaway service. Get involved.

Well, I... I don't want any excuses.

It'll be good for you to have a clear goal for the day.

Help take your mind off the heat.

OK.

So you've got no idea why Ros might have gotten the wrong impression?

No. None. I...

I've always been completely professional around her. Oh, no, no, no, I don't

doubt that at all, Jo, not for a minute. I need to know all the facts before I

speak with her.

She probably just got carried away, you know, spur -of -the -moment kind of

thing. I mean, Rosie's always so sensible.

Yeah, but it's not always easy to be sensible when you're a teenager with a

crush, is it?

I just don't want her to think that having feelings for another woman's

Yeah, but when that woman's a teacher, acting on them isn't an option, is it?

Oh, don't worry, Jo. Honestly, we're going to get this sorted out. I don't

any need to involve anyone else.

Yeah. I thought it was better to tell you straight off, so... Thank you,

Well, you've done the right thing.

Get enough junk mail at all, Pank.

Do you know there's very important information in that flyer, young man?

She didn't tell me my grade exactly.

Not into many words, but she said enough so I knew I'd done well.

I thought the test had to be sent off to the exam board before they were graded.

It's pretty unprofessional. She's just flouncing around telling... No, she's

just telling anyone.

She can trust me.

Right, silly me.

Don't be like that. I'm sure you've done fine.

I'm just lucky I've had Joe tutoring me all term, that's all.

Maybe the exams will only stop going on about for two seconds.

You are.

Ros, can I have a word with you for a minute, please?

Yeah, sure.

Um, I was just, uh... Just wondering if everything's OK

with you, hmm?

Yeah, Garth, how would it be?

Miss Lipset came to see me earlier.

And she told me that, um, that you made advances towards her.

Do you want to tell me what happened?

She can't have told you. She did, Ruth.

She has a duty to tell me. But that was personal between me and her.

She had no right to tell you that.

I think that you need to talk your feelings through with someone, don't

Maybe Miss Campbell or with me, whoever you feel more comfortable with.

Can I go now? I've got an exam to study for. You promised me you'll talk to one

of us after the exam.

Yeah? Okay.

Well, it is day and... I like the torch, you know.

All

right,

everyone? AS level French and General Studies exam.

Write your names on the front of the paper, answer one question only, and

we've started you won't be allowed to ask any questions, okay?

Right, you may begin.

Are you all right, Rose?

I need to go.

Well, if you need to use the bathroom... No, I need to go. I need to get out of

here now.

Rose.

Philip, sit down. You've got an exam to finish.

So, still concentrating on the regular verbs.

Siobhan.

Can you go complete the verb on the board, please?

Thank you.

You told everyone.

Rather, I'm right in the middle of a class. We'll talk about this later.

Let's talk about it now. Anything's better than friends.

How could you do that?

It was between us. A private thing between us.

I really think you should go.

Am I embarrassing you?

Well, good that you're embarrassed, because I'm embarrassed thanks to you.

Siobhan, do you want to sit down? Everybody take a private study moment.

No. You're not just going to back me into a corner and pretend I don't exist.

Do you want to lower your voice, please?

You've made me look like a stupid little girl.

After everything we've been through together.

I love you.

And I know you love me too.

For God's sake, what? What? I don't care.

I love you. I don't care who he is. Oh, well, that's lucky, isn't it?

Do you want us to leave you two alone, Miss? That's enough.

Go. Out.

Who the hell do you think you are?

I have a reputation at the school and I do not appreciate it being put at risk

by some silly schoolgirl and her overactive imagination.

You're talking like I'm making this up. That's because you are.

I'm your teacher, and anything else that you might have convinced yourself of is

just in your head. Now, please leave.

In my head?

So all the conversations we've had, all the time we've spent together, that was

all in my head? I'm your tutor, Roz. My concern is your education and getting

you through these exams. Nothing more.

Bull, you know it is.

I don't see you going around giving any other kids hugs, or giving them lifts to

school, or inviting them to the cinema.

Something's been happening between us, and you know it has.

If you're too scared to admit it, then fine, but don't go around making me look

like an idiot.

You led me on.

You know you did.

Why can't you just admit it? I did not lead you on. And don't you dare go

telling anybody that.

You don't get to tell me what to do anymore.

The Waterloo Road Taste Challenge.

So take your samples, read your menus, and then we want you to come over here.

There's lots of pens. Write your names down and give us your orders, okay? This

is lovely.

Right, so which did you prefer?

One or two?

Two.

Waterloo Rose comes out of top.

Nice. That's good, isn't it? Pass the pen.

Yes.

Great.

I thought I'd better come and give you the heads up.

Ros McCains just walked out of her French written exam after five minutes.

Looked like she was in a bad way.

I got Grantley to cover for me, went looking for her, but no luck.

I had a feeling something like this might happen.

Why? Well, apparently, apparently she made a pass at Joe this morning.

What?

And no one thought to mention it to me?

It's kind of sensitive, Chris. I just thought that the few people who knew the

better. If I'd known, I could have kept a closer eye on her.

Walking out like that, she's probably blown her chance of getting to

Miss Mason.

Ross, come in, come in. Mr Meek, can I have a couple of minutes with her,

please? No, it's OK.

You should do this as well.

It's Miss Lipset.

She's behaved inappropriately towards me and I want to make a complaint.

Oi, you lot!

playground or canteen now, if you don't mind.

Oh, yeah, like, that's fair.

Miss Lipset can have a wicked way with kids, but we can't even stand in the

corridor.

So when was the first time that you felt that Miss Lipset was being

inappropriate with you?

I don't remember the first time exactly.

I guess it was when she started tutoring me.

You mean since the start of the APU scheme?

Or else we need you to be specific. I know this is difficult.

Well, I knew she wasn't treating me like a normal student right from the start.

Okay, so can you give me some examples?

She used to suggest that we see each other outside of school. And one time,

went to see a French film at the cinema in Manchester.

Just the two of you?

Did you know about all this time being spent together?

Teachers give up their free time to help out as chewers. It's not necessary to

watch them every hour of the day.

How many hours would you say you were spending together, roughly? Great.

Let's use this opportunity to pick apart the entire scheme, shall we?

No, that is not what I'm doing.

Ros.

Look, an allegation can have very serious repercussions for a teacher.

So we need you to be absolutely certain about what happened.

I know she wanted me to give her.

How do you know?

Because...

She kissed me first.

Okay. Right, thank you.

Thank you. Why don't you scoot along to the common room?

Get a cup of tea.

Yeah?

Follow along in a few minutes.

I can't believe this of Jo. But we don't know anything yet.

All we know is that Jo has been spending lots of time with a few out -of -school

hours. Two through in for university.

So, Joe screws up, but somehow it's my fault, is it? Hang on.

No -one's been blamed for anything yet.

That's what it feels like.

Look, we don't know what's gone on. I would never have expected this of Ros or

Joe. Are you going to get the local authority involved?

I don't think I've got much of a choice, have I?

Have any of you guys seen us?

What?

Maybe we should... Yeah, just while...

Guide. 30 orders?

That must prove there's a bit of a demand.

I hear we're in the middle of a Ruby Fry advertising blitz. Your little taste

test, the talk of the school.

Ah, yes, and Rose helps as well.

I'll just get back to my homework then, shall I? See, I told you you could do

it. All you needed was a bit of confidence.

Thank you.

What? Oh, no, she's lying. Surely you must see that.

See, all I am interested in is the truth here, but to be perfectly honest, Jo, I

don't have a clue what's going on. Why do I feel like I'm being branded as

guilty when I haven't done anything wrong, Rachel?

I'm sorry, but I don't believe I have a choice. I'm going to have to suspend you

just so I can get to the bottom of this. Oh, no, Rachel, are you kidding me?

Come on. I'm sorry, no.

Officially, you can't teach any more classes today.

You know, stick around, give me the data, look into this, and let's meet at

end of school.

Like I'm under house arrest?

It's better than the alternative, isn't it?

It's one lie.

One lie.

Rachel, and all this could be over for me, my whole career, because of one lie.

I will work this out, I promise you, Jo.

And then I'll just go away.

And everyone will just forget that it ever happened, right?

Just try and trust me.

Is someone going to tell me what's going on here, or what?

Right.

The thingies.

Um, um... You've turned your girlfriend gay, Jean.

What are you talking about?

You know I'm Ross, don't you?

Clever, small, about that high.

Yeah. She's into ladies. Like, we're into ladies.

Having a laugh in chair.

Deadly serious.

She's been doing a thing with Miss Lipset. Said that she loves her in front

the whole of Sam Kelly's class.

Lipset. Wouldn't be my first choice.

Mate, she won't even get into my top five. But each to their own, innit?

Never guess what we just heard. Miss Lipset's not allowed to take any more

classes. She's been suspended.

What for?

Rod, she's saying that Miss Lipset, you know...

What kind of things?

They've suspended her.

That's what everyone's saying.

She might get the fact.

Ross?

I'm sorry.

Ross?

There you are.

Look, I'm not supposed to talk about it. Have you any idea what you've done?

I haven't done anything.

All right, Ros is lying.

You know, she walked out of her exam today.

We both know how important it was getting those grades to her.

Why would she do that over nothing?

I don't know, but then I've given up trying to figure out why Ros does

This is a bright girl with a bright future, and I want to know why it's been

ruined. Or are you just worried that this might reflect really badly on your

precious APU scheme, Chris?

You appointed me to be her tutor, Chris.

You wanted me to spend time with her. And up until today, you've been

that we've been doing just that.

Right.

What's this?

It's a thank you gift from Rose.

A what? What would you have me done to throw it back in her face?

Yeah. We were studying in the park.

She had a new camera. She wanted to try it out and say...

I don't have to defend myself to you.

Well, you're going to have to defend yourself to someone.

Fine.

I'm not afraid of that.

Because I've got absolutely nothing to hide.

Excuse me.

Oh, typical.

All the work's to be done and the map's nowhere to be found.

Um, where are you going?

I thought I'd pick my youngest up from nursery, if that's all right with you.

No. Hey, listen, you can't go.

Not with all this and all these orders.

I can't do this on my own. Oh, don't be silly. You'll be fine.

Rose, please.

Listen, you promised you'd help me.

I can't, love, honestly.

Oh, Rose, please.

I've got to go.

Don't worry, you'll be all right.

You think you're everything.

You think you're so great when you're on the town.

What's this about, then? I've left work to come down here.

We thought it would be good for you to come in and have a chat about Ros and

about how she's coping. Coping?

Well, she's fine.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with her. Is that it?

Some new age touchy -feely nonsense about coping?

Why don't we get Ros in here and she can explain herself?

Explain what thing?

Is it true you suspended Jo?

Mum,

Dad. Come and sit down, love.

What are they doing here?

We thought it would be good to chat, all of us.

Come on.

We haven't told your parents what happened today, but I think that you

Yeah, well, somebody better tell me what's going on.

Ross.

Can you?

Ross alleged that her tutor, Miss Lipset, kissed her.

Miss Lipset? A woman?

A woman teacher?

Is this true, love? Well, of course it's true.

When have you ever known her to lie?

Where is this teacher now?

She's putting on some kind of register.

Dad!

Come on, let them... Come on!

Hi.

This is Christopher, my deputy head.

It was your idea, wasn't it, all this Cambridge nonsense?

Well, Christopher was heading up the scheme, and so far it has been a

Yeah, so far.

Till today.

Do you know what? I think maybe we should be concentrating on how Ross

right now, don't you?

Ross, have you got anything else you'd like to say?

Ross.

Ross.

Ross.

Well, that's brilliant timing.

Sorry, we're going to have to go.

Which generation is responsible for this? Don't talk!

Never would be.

What?

We should be good.

Adam, I'm so sorry. Don't. Don't say you're sorry.

Do you have any idea what could have happened if I hadn't come in when I did?

The entire school's standing out there because of this.

You must say. You would really let me down, wouldn't you?

Here.

I think this is what you were looking for.

Enjoy.

Is this lipstick woman here?

No, sir.

Come on, tell me, is she here? She's been suspended.

What kind of situation, John? I'm not pulling up with you. Calm down.

Miss!

You know, when you offered me extra French lessons, did you actually mean

French lessons, or did you mean...

Extra French lessons.

We love you, mate, but not like that, miss.

That fair, isn't it? Mate, you think it's OK because you're a woman, don't

Messing with a young girl's head like that. Dad, stop it. You should be

of yourself. Dad, leave it, please. Come on, what are you going to say for

yourself? It's not our fault.

Go, it's wrong.

It's completely wrong.

Go, I'm not... Joe.

She never touched you up, did she?

Don't. Okay, everyone!

Can you make your way back inside and back to your classes, please?

It all makes sense, doesn't it?

The way you look at her.

You're always going on about her. You get annoyed if I come up and interrupt

both. I mean... It's like you never wanted me around. It's not that.

It's not that, Philip.

You lied, didn't you?

What the hell's happened in here?

There's no permanent damage.

Permanent damage or not?

The whole school's been disrupted. Kids have missed classes.

Could someone just explain to me how this started, please?

Ruby?

Oven gloves caught fire. They were left too near a lit hob. It's carelessness,

just no excuse.

I see.

It was my fault.

I should have been more careful, like I said.

There's no excuse.

I can't believe this of you, Adam. You could have burned the school down. I

would have understood it from a year seven, but you're supposed to be

responsible. You've endangered lives. Why are you being so cavalier about it?

Ruby, can you just give us a minute, please?

Thank you.

Thank you for making me look this small in front of my colleague.

You know, right now my concern isn't about how you look.

I want... I warned you this could happen. I knew this takeaway thing would

too much work. All right, we're agreed.

I screwed up. You know best.

Hang on. I need to be able to rely on my staff. You can. You just choose not to.

My job, my problem.

Excuse me. When did this suddenly become about me? It is about you. You've got a

deputy, senior staff, and yet you want to still take care of everything

yourself.

Well, sometimes, you know what? It's easier not to be reliant on people.

Professionally or personally?

Professionally, of course.

Really? Yes.

Because the way you've been today, I don't think you trust me in either

capacity.

Yeah.

I thought not.

Look, we might have a personal relationship.

Don't you ever dare vent your problems at me again in the workplace, right? Is

that understood?

What do you think you are? I know I'm not a lapdog or a yes -man. If that's

you want, you'd better find someone else.

Maybe I will.

Oh, fuck that, Rose. You can't be in here. I'm sorry.

I just need you to know I'm so sorry. Get out of here. I just wanted to be...

Get out of my classroom world. Do you have any idea how much damage you've

already done?

You...

You and everything got out of hand. My parents coming into school and everyone

laughing at me.

I don't want you to go.

Zoe, look at me.

Sorry about that, everyone.

I want that woman sacked, and I want a formal apology.

I think that we should try and stay calm, Mr McCain.

Miss, it's Ros. She's smashing up Miss Lipset's classroom. Which is where?

Well, let's get Rose somewhere quiet, shall we? Come on.

Somewhere quiet will be all right.

Joe.

I'm so sorry you've had to go through this.

It's not like you to lie, love.

I know, Mum.

So that's what you are, is it?

Lesbian. I don't know.

I don't know.

I just... I've got all these feelings.

It is perfectly normal for kids of Roz's age to question their sexuality and

there is nothing wrong with being confused.

Or being gay, for that matter.

I wasn't confused.

A mother was never confused.

Yeah, I think what Ros needs right now is your support.

Where's all this coming from, love?

I don't know, Mum.

I just... I don't know. I'm sorry.

Joe's a great teacher.

I was just angry.

It's OK, Ros.

I thought... I thought we were going to be together.

Cambridge is a normal thing to want.

You and your scheme.

It's supposed to broaden the kids' mind, is it?

But it looks to me like it just takes them right away from what they know.

From the people that love them. That was never my intention, Mr. McKay. But you

see what you've done, right? You see what you've done now?

If I'm in any way to blame for this, Ros, then I am sorry.

Well, you can keep your apologies.

Come on, we're going.

Ross, I know how much getting to Cambridge meant to you.

I'll talk to the exam board and see if we can get you a special consideration,

yeah? Thanks, but is it OK if I just have a think?

Because I don't really know what I want now.

It's not your fault.

Eddie McKenzie's just really angry.

I need to go and see Joe.

You need a hand?

I owe you an apology, Jill.

No, you don't. Yeah, I should have believed you.

And what happened earlier, what I said, putting all the blame on you, that

wasn't fair.

She completely broke down.

I mean, I've been really stupid. How could I have missed that Ros had

for me? You can't control everything.

I had Ros in my house this morning. I told her things about my personal life

that I never should have.

I mean, I told her about my girlfriend, Chris. How unprofessional is that?

Listen to me. If anyone's to blame for this, I am.

I was the one who cared more about grades than how the kids were actually

coping. You didn't make me invite Ros into my home, did you, Chris? I did

I did that because I wanted to.

Because I was flattered by having someone that wanted to learn, someone

looked up to me.

I know how easy it is to get too close to a pupil. I've done it.

Sometimes we can put ourselves in situations that can be easily misread.

It's not intentional.

Unintentional or not, I led Ros on, and that is not the kind of teacher that I

want to be.

You can't be thinking of leaving.

Not over there.

So you just walk away because of one pupil, when you've influenced hundreds

since you've been here. And don't tell me that it doesn't matter, because I

that teaching is more than just a job to you. I completely destroyed a young

girl's dream this morning, Chris. I mean, did you even see her? Yes, I saw

But I've also seen the progress that she's made since you've been here.

I've seen the difference that you've made to this school.

Please, don't let this setback stop you from seeing all the good that you've

done.

Look, Jo...

I know that I haven't been any kind of friend to you today.

But don't throw away everything that you've achieved.

Alright, I'll do you a deal.

From now on, we look out for each other so that it never ever gets to a stage

like this again.

Deal?

Sorry, kids, but due to unforeseen circumstances, it's the chippy for one

night. There's no takeaway service to do.

We will have things back on track tomorrow if you're still interested.

What a waste of time.

Thank you for dealing with that, Adam, and saying what you did to Rachel. I

really appreciate it. I didn't do it to save your neck, Ruby.

I know.

I take responsibility for what happens in my kitchen. As far as anything else

concerned, you're on your own. And if you don't tell Rachel about those pills

today, then I will. No. Yes.

I gave you an opportunity to help yourself today.

And all you've done is prove that those pills are affecting your work and your

judgement. I made a mistake. You can't be a teacher and pop tranquilisers like

they're M &M's.

I thought almost setting light to this place would have taught even you that.

has.

But you're right.

I know, I know I can't go on like this. I've heard it all before, Ruby.

Now, look.

Look!

See?

That's it. I haven't got any more. I promise.

Please don't tell Rachel.

I don't want to let anybody else down, especially not you, Adam.

Fine.

You just stay in control from now on.

I won't cover for you again.

Thank you.

Good night.

Oh, how's Jo?

Well, she's pretty gutted about everything, to be honest.

She's not the only one.

Thanks for sticking up for me in there with Mr McCain.

I didn't want what's best for us, Tom.

Kim, I'm sorry if I was a bit frosty with you earlier about the whole dinner

idea.

It's fine, you were right.

You know, you do need to move on.

Yeah, but I don't want that to be at the expense of our friendship.

Look... I've invited an old mate along tonight, but do you fancy going for a

drink with us beforehand? Like a third wheel.

No, no, no. It's not like that.

Me and Anna are just mates.

Go on.

I'd really like you to.

Chris? Somebody here to see you.

Hi.

Anna. Hello.

Hi.

Anna, this is Kim.

Anna's... I'm his date for the evening.

Well... I'd see it more as a mercy mission than an actual tent.

All aboard the good ship Haydock.

Due to leave in three minutes if anybody wants a lift.

Steph, this is Anna.

Steph's my dad's... Girlfriend.

His dad's girlfriend.

Christopher's having a bit of trouble adjusting to the idea, bless him.

Shall we go?

Yeah.

Are you sure you won't come?

No. Go on, have a good night.

See you in a bit.

She seems nice.

Anna?

Yeah?

Hmm?

Do I detect a bit of the old green -eyed monster?

What happened to you and Chris just being mates? No, we are just mates. I

expect him to move on quite so quickly, that's all.

Yeah, but you know it's you that he really wants, so if you've changed your

mind, then speak up.

No, I'm fine.

I'm fine. Go on, you get off. Go and see Ollie.

I'll have a drink waiting for you with your name on. Really better, otherwise

you'll get in trouble.

So,

Anna, tell me about this one at uni.

I bet he was out every night getting hammered off, cider and black.

Hardly. Knows in the books from what I remember. She's still got better grades

than me, though.

Yeah, look, rather than judgement, everyone was jealous of Chris's reading

skills. He was a bit too passionate from time to time. That's my boy.

I refer, of course, to the legal points you have made here. Beauty, brains, if

this one had any sense, he'd have snapped you up years ago. Yeah, well,

always had a knack of going for the wrong women.

I wouldn't say that.

I would.

Still, a man can change, can't he?

Didn't think I'd be seeing you tonight.

You think I'd be too busy running my dictatorship?

Adam.

It's not been the best of days for me today.

And I took it out on you, I'm sorry.

Right.

I know that you were just, you were trying to get me to share the load. I

you're right, I should. Why do you do it?

Keeping everyone at arm's length.

Not allowing yourself to rely on anyone. Why?

Adam, it is so easy to lose control in a place like this. It's far too easy to

fail. There isn't any room for me to make mistakes. I'm not just talking

this place.

You do it with us. You refuse to let me in. I've never given you any reason to

doubt me, and yet you just won't trust me. I can't.

You and me... Adam, it scares me.

I do realise that I'm a control freak.

That must be an absolute nightmare.

But it's become safer for me to put my life in boxes.

I've been concentrating so hard on this place. You've forgotten about everything

else.

I have forgotten how to be in a relationship, yeah.

I didn't even want one before.

Now I do.

Look.

I'm not going to hurt you. You can't say that. I can. No, you can't, Adam. You

have no idea what's round the corner for us.

Neither of us know that. You're wrong. I do.

Or at least what I want to be round the corner for us.

Rachel, I just want to spend the rest of my life with you.

And... Well... Well?

I want you to be my wife.

Yeah. Yeah.

So, are you sure about this,

Anna?

What's there to be sure about?

Well, you just seem to be getting on really well.

I am allowed to get on with a woman, aren't I? Yeah.

As long as it's what you want.

Ready? Yeah.

Why don't we get a taxi?

Say see you to me, Dad, for me.

Bye, Anna.

Bye.

Well, thanks for coming.

You were the only thing that made that nightmare bearable.

Well, what are friends for? I know for the record.

Dad seems quite happy.

Maybe his death's not so bad after all.

Remind me again, why were you never dated?

Because you're an idiot.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Is there any chance I could make up past mistakes?

In a dream that I've seen...
