Original subtitles

My husband's a very attractive man, Mrs. Fisher, so don't beat yourself up if

you've fallen for him. But I'm back now, and I'd ask you to give me and my

family some space to sort things out.

You think you want to close the school down?

Of course not. We just need to find out what's going wrong and why, from someone

with inside knowledge.

Are you asking me to spy?

That's got nothing to do with you! We're over!

Are they shouting about us?

You're gonna find out anyway. Vicky!

That slapper!

Slept with my boyfriend!

Sam? Sam?

Roar! What's your problem? What have you got to worry about?

I've got cancer.

I've spoken to my doctor.

And I know now. I know there's nothing more they can do for me. I know that I'm

dying.

He was standing on the shore And sings everything

Explains everything

And then from then on

Why is he just brushing the teeth?

You look tired.

Are you sure you're okay sleeping on that lumpy sofa? Honestly, I don't mind

swapping. Don't be daft. I'm fine.

Come on, lads. Get your shoes on. We're going.

I'll just nip up, say bye to Sam.

Come on.

Come on, get your shoes.

Here, boy. I'll be putting them there. Go on.

Put your shoes in there for me.

Right. That's us off then, love.

You want me to bring Lauren back after school?

You all right?

You had your pills?

Yeah.

Tom, I need to ask you something without you telling my mum.

Okay. Only because she'd say no.

Well, if your mum would say no. But only because she doesn't want me to see him.

She says she doesn't even know where he's gone.

Well, I don't know where he is.

And even if I did, look... He's dangerous.

You saw that the last time he showed up? I know he's not good.

But he's still my dad.

He could help me.

Do you think it's fair?

To bring him back into everyone's lives? No.

I wouldn't do that.

You could take me to him.

Tom, you'd be late.

Maybe when you're a bit stronger.

Hey, look, I didn't say no.

But you've got to talk to your mum about it.

What's a no, then?

Everything all right?

Yeah.

I was just saying that maybe Tom could take me for a drive sometime.

Are you joking, Rice?

Darling, you can have your friends around here any time, but you're no way

enough to go out and about right now. Right now?

So when, Mum? Well, I could set you back. So?

Look, let's talk about it after school.

Yeah?

In the meantime, you get some rest.

Baby, I've got to go to the shop to collect your new medicines.

I'll be a couple of hours, will you be okay?

It haunts all your days, and it comes to you in life.

Wait up, I made you some lunch.

Say Caden's too weak, he wouldn't be seen dead carrying it.

And I would.

I thought maybe if you picked it up from your office at lunch, you'd have a

chance to... You've hardly spoke to him since you caught him with that girl.

He's your son, Rob.

I kind of know that, Naomi.

I was with him when he pulled the same crap at his last school.

Where were you?

I'm here now.

All the good it did.

You know, when you've got a second, can we talk?

If it's about work, can you talk to Chris?

Otherwise I've got a really busy day ahead of me.

Right, you know where I am if you need me, mate, yeah?

Yeah.

Aidan!

Can you just explain to Jess how it happened?

She knows very well how it happened.

That's the problem.

Not exactly love's young dream.

Well, the kids have got busted.

I reckon they'll still be at it if they can't afford a bin.

You can get it to go before I like her.

Yeah, me too.

We'll obviously give Rose a call first, clear it with her, but I just think Sam

could do with a bit of distraction, that's all.

Definitely.

Sam?

Oh, come on, then.

What?

Hey, hey!

Come on, hand them over.

Get you done?

That's enough of your cheek.

Go on.

Very good.

Nice one, Chalky.

All right. Karen.

No change?

Nothing.

I could kill Aidan for what he did to Jess.

There's the little matter of your wife staying with you.

It's only temporary.

I don't want to talk about it. Karen refuses.

Refuses?

Look, what are you always telling me, hey?

Stand up for yourself.

What are you, a man or a mouse?

I've got a PR lady coming in today, helping to raise the profile of the

PR woman?

Yes. Linda Wicks, public relations.

We've got to try and change people's perception of us, especially in the

of recent negative events.

Negative events, abandoned babies, harbouring a murderer, folk changing

themselves to railings. Thank you, Grantley.

So, if you see her in the corridors, please try and make her feel welcome.

Karen.

I thought the LA dealt with that PR.

Well, there's nothing to say we can't pay for it out of our own budget.

She's a local outfit. She's reasonable.

Look, Chris, I want parents to know that Waterloo Road is still a school of

quality.

Karen's right.

Everybody uses PR these days.

Let's be progressive.

There's no phone number on there anyway.

I don't want to call him.

I want to see him face to face.

I owe him that.

Why, Sam?

All he's ever done is hurt you. Yeah, but he didn't know I was dying then, did

he?

Things change when you haven't got the time.

You almost got a little mental.

I know.

That's why we need to go now.

Please.

Before she gets back.

I've got the address in my phone and I know how to get there.

I just can't without you two.

Come on, Mum.

We should have discussed it before you just went ahead and booked her. I had to

act, Chris.

I couldn't waste the time.

I'm your deputy.

Surely my opinion about how to save the school's reputation counts for

something? Two heads and all that?

Look, I wasn't trying to keep you out of things.

I just didn't want to hang around once I'd decided, and I hope you're going to

go with it.

Linda Wicks, Solutions PR.

Karen Fisher, and this is my deputy head. Chris Mead, thanks for coming in.

So, I've had some preliminary thoughts.

Good.

Well, it's a complicated situation here. About a year ago, we merged with John

Foster, so our student base is quite diverse.

I think we need to go for a bold strategy.

Put out a glossy brochure.

We want to change the public perception.

There's nothing like visuals.

Don't worry, Karen.

Whoever says you can't polish a turd hasn't met me yet.

A turd?

Come on, you don't need to impress me.

The school's a mess.

I've seen your stats.

We need to be aggressive.

I'd like to mark something up today.

If you like what you see, we'll run with it, distribute it strategically, then

follow up with some sort of...

Open day event.

Great. Yeah, as long as we target the intake, then that's what I'm here for.

Richard, it's Eleanor Chowdhury from Waterloo Road.

I was just wondering if you're around at some point today just for a little

chat?

In confidence?

I hate you, mate. So, logarithms. I mean it. If it'll make you feel better, just

hit me.

Look, just shut it, yeah?

Hey, shh.

Please. The logarithm of a number to a given base is the power or exponent...

What if you'd done it?

I'd have hit you. OK?

I'm gutted, Ronan.

You are.

I'll hit myself, then.

See?

What, you think this is funny?

You're a dickhead, you know that? I know, and I told you, I deserve it.

It's not worth it, Ronan.

Yeah,

that's right. I can make myself heard, too.

Give me some iron, man.

Yeah, I am.

I am iron, man.

Now, you, get to the nurse. The rest of you, back to your seats.

It's a while since we had a refurb.

Always something more urgent to spend money on. Like a public relations

So I don't know how peeling paint will marry into your glossy brochure. I was

just about to shop him.

What?

What's happened?

I asked him to.

Oh, we'll just leave this out of the brochure, eh?

Chris, could you... Yes, Linda? Do you want to come with me? Right, let's get

you off to the nurse.

You don't have to go through this, you know, Sam. Yes, I do.

I think we should go back, you know. No.

Come on, Sam, you're setting yourself up for a fall.

And why hasn't he been in touch?

Because he was too embarrassed about what happened before.

I told him I hated him, but everyone is in a second chance, right?

I don't know, are you all right? Are you upset?

What if he upsets you even more?

Look, I can't die without a dad thing.

We could make a feature out of your Sportsperson of the Year. Who have you

Actually, we don't have a Sportsperson of the Year.

Chris? Yeah? You had Finn Sharkey or Lauren Andrews in your first couple of

classes? No, they were both no -shows.

What about Sambuka Kelly?

Obviously good at netball. Is she a looker?

Erm... I mean, it's not essential, but if she's got a face, it surely helps.

Yeah, er, actually, Sam's not well. She's got cancer.

So she won't be able to do the fortune.

Oh, poor kid.

Still, though, that's a double -page spread.

Cancer girl smiles bravely in the face of illness as she leads Waterloo Road

into netball victory.

Here, has she lost her hair yet? No, she hasn't. This is Tom Clarkson. He's our

head of English.

Linda Wicks, public relations.

We can always take a scarf and imply she's going that way. If this was some

of a joke, what, you'd use a sick child to sell a brochure?

Sell an image.

Tom. It's Mr Clarkson to you.

It's what I've been asked to do in a professional capacity.

I know it's cynical, but the tale of one girl's courage in the face of adversity

always gets a sympathy vote. Linda. And it implies that Walter the Road's got a

heart. You stupid woman. Sam is not an image or a marketing tool.

She's a sick little girl and she's dying. All right, Tom. Look, if she's

far gone, fair dues.

I was only trying to use your assets for the greater good. Do you know what?

I've never hit a woman before, but there's always a first. Mr Clarkson.

You take Linda to the cafe?

Yeah. You come to the office, no?

You threaten violence to a woman in our school.

I know.

I just... I lost it. I understand.

And I know she's not the most subtle of people, but, Tom, that is unacceptable.

It was just... Hearing the way she was talking about something like that, I

mean... Tom, go home.

Take some time for yourself.

You've been under the most enormous strain with the Kellys. I don't need

for myself.

I mean, every second counts right now.

Let's roll with that.

Rose.

Look, Ake, just calm down.

But where is she?

Just leave it with me, OK?

Look, she's in a right state. Sam's gone AWOL.

Just go. Go. I'll cover your glasses. And take as much time as you need.

Well, I'll knock first then. I'll pave the way.

It's Renaldyn.

Renald Kelly.

Call the doctor. Come on.

We'll find her. Why would she put herself in danger? She can barely get to

garden on her own. I think she might not be on her own.

What? Lauren and Finn went AWOL from school this morning.

They know they can come here any time. Why would they take her out?

They would if Sam asked them to.

You know something about this.

She was banging on this morning and she wanted me to look someone up for her.

Take her to go and see him.

Someone?

She didn't want to get you worried or upset, Rose. Tom, so help me. I'm not

playing games here.

She wants to find her dad.

Say goodbye.

I said no.

Maybe she's asked her pals.

Please.

What we just need is me and Swim. It's about... Whatever Reynolds has done,

not my fault.

Reynolds was dad.

And you'll get knelt out of me.

I don't want anything from you. Look, she doesn't want anything.

She just wants to speak to him.

Take it easy, Sam.

Look, she's ill.

Like, proper ill.

You need to let her in. You can call the police and they can throw me in jail,

but I am staying here till my dad gets back.

And you'll have a long wait, Pet.

My son's in Nick.

And he's doing live.

Reynolds kicked a guy's head in.

It's as good as you get the queue in a car park.

The fella died.

That's why I didn't tell Sam.

I didn't want that in her head.

And I didn't want him robbing me of what little time she's got left.

Isn't that her choice, Rose?

Well, then it's the wrong choice.

Every time she pushes herself too hard, she goes downhill. You've seen it, Tom.

You stay here in case she comes back. I'm going after her.

Do you ever

talk about me?

Well, it was banging on about some kid a few years ago.

But it was more about the mum.

He wanted to get one up on her.

Pisshead, apparently.

Ring any bells?

You do realise you being his mum does make him a nan?

Listen, love.

If what you're saying's true, I mean, I'm heartfelt sorry for you. I really

Lash your age.

I mean, it's a shame.

But I'm 65 years old.

And I've washed my hands of my own son.

And his poorly daughter is not my problem.

What is wrong with you?

Your own flesh and blood is asking you. You believe it?

Obviously, we're both disappointed, yeah?

If you want to see him, that's your lookout.

Last I heard, he'd been transferred to Barney.

That's in Scotland, babe.

Well, if you see him first, you'll tell him about my cancer.

I won't see him first.

Finn, let's just take you for a coffee or something to eat, yeah?

My advice?

Forget about Reynolds.

You're in Blackpool.

You're kids.

Give her a day out while she can still flame and enjoy it.

Don't tell us how to look after her.

At least we actually care how she feels.

Okay. But why does it matter?

Any of it.

Oi.

Thanks for nothing.

Karen?

Look, there are a few things we need to get through.

We work under the same roof.

And you're my boss.

Not practical to be arguing.

No one's arguing except your son. He's in with the nurse with a bunched nose.

Surprise me?

Well, maybe if you were surprised a little more often, he wouldn't feel the

to shock you.

Whoa, wait a minute.

I know you've got a bone to pick with me, but don't start passing remarks

my parenting skill.

As headteacher, it is my job to question any dysfunctional child's home

situation.

But now his mother's back in situ, perhaps things will improve.

All right, I will apologise for my son, the way he is, and for not telling you

that my wife was back. But it was only temporary. You know, it's none of my

business.

Don't overthink this.

We had dinner once. It was never going to go anywhere, so let's just forget

about it. Karen, is what I've done really so bad?

Or are you just angry with every man in the world because of Charlie?

You're out of order.

You're out of order.

That's it, ready? And smile.

Smile, girl.

I've got some beauties for you here. I'll leave you to it.

This calf cup with a jewel on the crown of the brooch, me thinks.

Plus you've got professional live music.

Ronan Burley isn't professional.

He asked me if he could DJ this evening.

Well, my father is paid. It goes he's a professional.

You know, you can have the best club in the world, but if no one knows about it,

it'll close.

Linda, it doesn't have to end. We're a community cafe and we're just starting

out. Hey, that's more like it.

What? Faith on the social side.

Does she work here?

No. Does now.

Sweet cheeks.

How would you like to feature in the new glossy brochure advertising?

The cave.

The cave.

New name for the caftan.

Works for me.

Linda, a word.

I know you're only here to help, but I really do need you to understand my

brief.

I want to enhance your image, not tell a pack of lies.

It's not lying.

It's PR.

Look, Karen, I've seen and read enough about this school to know it's a hard

sell. But I can turn it around.

It's what I do.

I suppose.

Then leave me to it. I'll catch up in a couple of hours.

Trust me.

Fine.

So what? I'm under some sort of house arrest now, am I? You just need to calm

down, Aidan. I'm going back after lunch.

No, you're not.

Not until you give me some respect.

I work at that school and you are nothing but an embarrassment.

I'm the one who gets punched in the face and all you care about is your poxy

reputation.

My reputation is the only thing that is keeping us afloat, you stupid!

Selfish.

I'm 45 years old.

I was made redundant during the recession.

And now I'm working as a caretaker.

And I'm taking night classes.

Just so you can have a better life.

I'm sick of it, Hayden.

Sick.

What's going on?

I've had a really bad day.

Do you want to see if you can talk some sense into it?

You know, peas in a pod.

Dad's not the only one having a bad day.

Sam,

the guy's just a genetic fact of your life.

I mean, a bad gene, if that. Just forget about him. It's easy for you to say.

Lauren, you've got the perfect dad.

He watches your school plays.

He takes you on holiday.

He gives a toss if you do well in GCSE.

Yeah, but it'll give me some right crap if I didn't. He looks after you when

you're poorly.

Imagine if you had cancer.

Well, if you still want to try and find your dad, we can.

We know what prison he's in. We can apply for a visit.

What's the point?

I mean, I only wanted him to tell me that he loved me.

You see it on his face.

If he doesn't care, then why should I?

Okay, well, we didn't find your dad.

That old lady was right.

We're here now.

Why don't we go and see the sights?

I don't know about you two, but I've never been up that tower.

And there's the plaza beach.

Sam,

you've still got us, yeah?

You take her outside for some air while I pay the bill.

You what? I couldn't pay. I have to go.

Renal's mother says she's OK. She was just a bit upset.

Reckons the three of them are going to hang around here for a bit.

Look, I'll give you a call as soon as.

Why?

Well... You've got my number if they turn up again.

I don't think they'll be back here.

I didn't exactly give them a warm welcome.

Oh, please, understand.

I never meant to upset the girl.

It's just... I can't have him back in my life anymore.

You can't have had it easy.

I feel bad about her, the lass.

She wants a real dad, not him.

Look.

Look at this, will you?

Tell her it was when he was a good 'un.

She might have liked him.

Right! You can come up front.

I'm a twinsie.

It gives you respect.

I don't wear glasses. I need to make you look a bit less gormless, sweetie.

Oh, no, no, no. Sorry, love.

We're at the clear as hell and come back to me next year.

I'm only kidding, darling. We've all been there.

But seriously, want to help? Pull the blinds down. Let's get some light in

Excuse me.

Yep.

Linda Wicks.

Solutions PR.

Rob Scotcher. Site manager.

You couldn't spare us a moment, could you?

To make it right for me

Oh, when you had it... What's the name

of it?

Look down.

I like ants.

It's like you're actually in the dark.

Cloud.

Then I'll be up here, I suppose.

Please don't, Sam.

Don't you want to know, though, Lauren?

Where you go.

I want you here.

Now.

You're my best friend, aren't you?

Always will be, no matter where we are.

I will be gone.

And you'll be sad.

And you'll need a shoulder to cry on.

So thin.

So I'm just saying that I would understand.

What? I've thought it through and I wouldn't mind at all.

Sam, that's gross.

Do you mean gross? Finn's gorgeous. No.

He's not. He's your boyfriend.

You could have him.

Lauren, you're supposed to be pleased.

Pleased?

Finn's still not my type and I'm not his.

I mean, yeah, we're friends, but that's all we ever will be.

Take my word for it.

I don't want to be so definite.

I just want to try to be nice.

Don't. You're freaking me out.

I don't want you to go, Sam.

And I definitely don't want your boyfriend.

Ta -da!

What?

Nothing. Just timing.

I got us a half -day family pass at the Pleasure Beach.

It was just cheaper than us all paying separate.

You still up for it? Are you kidding?

Just a little, right? What?

This is my last chance. I'm going on the rollercoaster, with or without.

For you, lovely.

Thanks. Feelings mutual.

When you roll a fair dice, there are six possible outcomes.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

And there are three ways of getting odd numbers. One, three and five.

So the probability of getting an odd number equals the amount of ways

of getting the number divided by the total number of possible outcomes.

So what's the answer Denzel?

Mr Kelly?

I'm talking to you.

That's right sunshine.

I'm talking to you. Aye.

You can't do that.

Come on.

What's the probability, eh?

Where do you think you're going?

Oh, no.

Be seated.

You've clearly missed the majority of today's lesson. Let's go through it

Please, Mr Charles. I said sit down!

Come on.

Look, mate, I didn't mean to shock you.

I was just trying to prove a point, that's all.

Come on.

It'll be all right.

It's not you.

Everything just sucks.

Yeah!

hard for you the worst thing is me i'm evil i

kind of want to stay sick so tom mr clarkson

won't go when he's here mum's like

karma everything is just like a normal family

and know when the sam dies

We'll lose him and all, because he's got no reason to stay.

And I don't know what Mum's going to do when it all kicks off.

Or us.

And I know that sounds selfish, but I

should just... Be upset about Sam.

No, Denzel.

What you're saying makes perfect sense.

You are so brave, saying it out loud.

It means you're starting to sort it out in your head.

And look, I'm sure Mr Clarkson will still be there for you.

After. In school, maybe.

I was going to go and find him just now.

Well, the thing is, Denzel, Mr Claxton's gone home to help your mum.

I'm covering his class.

Right.

Listen, shall I give him a ring for you? I'm sure he'll want to speak to you.

I don't understand why you're being so nice.

Oh, I am quite nice, actually.

We all thought you were a loser.

Right.

Fair dues.

Well, not me, I mean... Forget it.

Listen, if you... If you want to talk about anything, just... Thanks.

But... You won't tell anyone I've been crying, will you?

There's nothing wrong with crying.

Told you. Would you listen? No.

Well, I knew those nausea tablets would come in useful.

Go on, we should go.

No.

I want to go swimming.

Come on, let's go swimming.

Okay.

Obviously, this is just an example of the real thing.

Just to tell you what's possible.

If you will.

Oh, my God.

Sorry, am I missing something?

Those trees aren't actually there.

Neither is the third floor.

People will notice that when they come.

And come they will.

And once they're here, they might as well stay a while. Get me?

So we're going to lure them with a lie? So let's focus on Waterloo Road's

athletic strengths and the camaraderie it breeds.

We don't have those facilities.

Oh, you will do if you sell them the dream.

Is Amy Porter wearing glasses?

Geek chic, no.

Where's Josh in that photograph? I know he was very keen to volunteer.

A bit spotty, though.

Hormones don't sell.

It's a secondary school, for heaven's sake. Hormones live here.

The faith of the management team.

Reliable, experienced.

Now, don't be offended, but to balance out the hip side, we need a bit of

gravitas.

This is my defining image of the school.

Handsome, dynamic.

Trustworthy. Don't you love it?

I've had enough.

This isn't going to work.

You just have to have a bit of vision for Pete's sake.

No, I think we're talking about two different schools.

Mine exists and I'm very proud of it. Bully for you.

But I want one for my kid here.

Don't you want it to look good? We want it to look honest.

Why make up a fantasy when there's plenty of real achievements that we can

about?

Like what?

Like kids turning up here day after day, even though their parents may be

absent, or holding down three jobs themselves.

That's a good angle. You should have said that earlier. I tried to tell you,

you didn't want to hear it.

So I don't think your services are needed anymore. Thank you very much.

Keep them. To remind you what you should be working for.

Oh, excuse me. Ginny said you'd be here.

I was just passing by, so I thought I'd drop in, but I see you're busy.

Don't worry, I was just leaving.

Richard Whitman, Director of Education.

Linda Wicks, Solutions PR.

Maybe you can change Mrs Fisher's mind.

Why does it have to be skinny, this bit?

Because she's a perv, and I should know. No, because I've never done it before,

and it's supposed to feel like you're... Flying free and that.

I'm not going to be flying free with no pants on. You won't.

Oh, no way, Sam.

It's going to be too cold.

Especially if you're already sick. I can't get any sicker, can I?

It's going to be too much to ask, Sam.

What if anything happens to your face?

OK, well, then, if I can't do it, you two come.

It's not too much to ask.

I'm

trying

to find a needle in a haystack.

Well, if she turns up, give me a bell.

I'm not leaving till I find her.

Bye.

That's my boy.

give the school a chance to shine the school or yourself school the la had

backed me in the first place well that's why i stopped by to offer an ear after

last week's melee only to find that you've gone behind my back you seem to

you're the only school under scrutiny karen i have to look at the performance

a number of schools You can't measure a place like this, the same criteria you

would at a school in a more privileged area like St John's Academy. This is a

completely different environment.

And a troubled one.

And a caring one.

Waterloo Road provides a lifeline for a great many people here, adults and

children. Then maybe it should be managed with care and respect rather

flagrant self -interest.

I have only the best interest of this school in my heart.

Really?

Doesn't your site manager occupy some space there as well?

That's none of your business.

I'm afraid it is, when a staff relationship is getting in the way of

professionalism. There is no relationship.

Oh, come on, Karen, I've got eyes.

I saw the way you were behaving the last time I visited. You're like a teenage

girl around here.

Richard, you are out of order.

That is prejudiced and sexual. Those are serious allegations, Karen. Don't make

this personal.

Well, you're the one making it personal by attacking my professionalism, my

private life. Clearly, someone had to.

I'm concerned with the management of this school, Karen, and to be fair to

you should know I'll be advising my colleagues at the L .A. of my concerns.

Have a good day.

Mr. Clayton.

Look, knackered. Cheers.

Gorgeous, knackered.

Yeah, we'd better get you home soon, Sam.

No.

Let me stay a little longer.

Well, I'll go get us some drink, Sam.

A cup of chocolate, please.

OK.

Hey, Sam.

You all right?

Skinny dipping was great.

Mr. Clarkson, we only came because someone... No.

No.

I reckon we can give them five more minutes, eh?

Yeah.

I love you, Sam.

Well, we should make it all go away.

I wish I could make you better.

I hate that there's nothing I can do.

I hate how scared you must be.

Yeah, I am scared.

I can't hate him.

The missing thing was right.

You and Lauren, mucking about in the water.

I wish it was you in there with me, you know that, don't you?

That part's over now.

Every day's just a little bit the last time.

I know you'll be sad when I'm gone.

You get on with things.

It's just that it's happened.

It's hard to believe.

Stop and go on without me.

So selfish, what?

You're not selfish.

I think you're incredible.

I can't imagine you not being here.

I can't.

I'll never forget you, son.

Never in all my life.

I'm glad you came today, Ferran.

Even though we didn't find your dad?

That was a special thing, wasn't it?

Sam? What's this?

Integral, isn't it?

Yeah.

I think it's time to go home now, love.

Right, I'm gonna drop you two off here.

I'll go and fetch again, son.

I love you.

I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?

Love you too.

Love you, babe.

Love you both.

Denzel! Come on!

I'll just get the stuff!

All right.

She's looking... frail.

Yeah.

She is.

Painful all round, I'd say.

Obviously.

You know, like, when you can't really tell anyone how you really feel, so you

confide in someone else.

You know, what's really troubling you?

Daniel, is there something I should know?

Put it this way.

Your sister's not the only one you're scared of losing.

Noted. Thank you, mate.

I'll see you on Monday.

See you Monday.

Come on, Dad.

You all right?

So where's Aidan?

Back out in the prowl, is he?

Oh, well, look up your daughters.

Actually... He's upstairs, trying to work out if he's blown it with his dad

forever. Please tell me you haven't fallen for his sob story.

No story. There were real tears.

He feels like crap after what you said to him.

I was angry.

I know you're angry.

Mainly with me, and why not?

But you're a good man.

A good dad.

It's me that's made you bitter.

Aidan's done his fair share.

The minute I pick us up, he just drags us back down.

He's a teenager.

He's rebelling.

He's a chip off the old block.

We were good once, as a family.

Let's pretend we still are, just for now.

Just for Aidan.

He needs us.

How about I stick a pizza in the oven and you go and fetch him down?

What am I going to do with you?

Grab me.

What?

For being human.

Oh, baby, I should have told you about your dad years ago.

I understand why you didn't.

But if you really want to see him, you know, I can ask for a visit.

You want your medicine?

Mom, it makes me so... Yeah, but you're unpaid.

Okay, baby, come here, come here.

Well done.

Okay.

Stop. He's downstairs.

Can you go get him, please?

Yeah, of course.

Let's get you sorted first, okay?

Good girl.

Good girl.

Good girl.

If your mind sees so many questions, misery is never gonna stray.

Your trail, my thought, what an awkward system to be playing on the brain.

Stolen by my love.

But I can't help thinking why it's so, so quiet.

I'll have mine later.

It's lovely, pal.

Sorry about earlier.

I just saw Red Aiden.

Don't blame you.

I was an idiot.

Maybe.

You have been pushed around from pillar to post, but...

Just your old man to lean on. That couldn't have been easy.

Or for you.

Feeling better?

The headache's gone.

I can't.

I'll leave you to it.

I want you to stay.

We're not going anywhere, darling.

Do you know what I did for my dad today?

For real, darling.

At least I wish you would.

asked me to give you this.

I don't even recognise it.

You don't need some stranger in prison.

When did I tell you about doing it?

It's like flying.

Everything's like flying.

I'm trying to go to sleep now.

May I wake up, please?

Thanks for that.

Only a frozen pizza?

No.

I mean, giving me time with Aidan.

And being there when I lost it.

Thank you.

About time, eh?

I was right, you know.

We did you to be good together.

Naomi. Naomi.

She's all right.

She's all right now.

I fell asleep.

So did she, Tom.

She just went.

The local authority are having a meeting today at three to discuss our status.

Whether we're failing as a school or whether I'm failing as a head. Do you

to tell me what you're doing here, then?

Name's Scout. I'm starting school. See ya.

Oi! Get off that!

That's my sister, you little cow!

So how did the meeting go? It gives me no joy to serve a warning notice on this

school.

I'm really sorry about it.

I'm pregnant.

Are you proud of yourself, are you? Oh, please, not now, mate. Enough. Come on,

let's go. It wasn't enough nicking my girlfriend, was it? You had to get her

pregnant as well.

My period's, like, two weeks.
