Resign today.

I'm giving you a way out.

This school needs me to protect it from you.

Karen's causing a few more waves than expected, so keep the lines of

communication open. How about drugs?

You've got some on you, haven't you?

Can you empty your pockets, Peter?

Our priority has always been our pupils.

Pupils like Jodie Allen.

This is her last job.

I'll suspend her for a week.

I'm suspending you as well.

Eleanor, you'll have to make it quick. I'm busy.

I want out.

I don't want to do this anymore.

But when I agreed to pass you information, I didn't know people's jobs

going to be on the line.

It's a bit late to be growing a conscience, Eleanor. The appeal decision

through today. Karen Fisher's on borrowed time.

Yeah, well, things are different now.

I'm more involved.

More involved?

With the school, with my colleagues. I can't keep lying to them.

It's only a matter of time before Karen finds out that I've been helping you.

She won't, unless you say something.

Maybe I will.

Are you threatening me?

You approached me and asked me to spy on Karen.

Hardly professional, is it?

I seem to remember it was all about you.

Wanting to get on.

It's not about that anymore, Richard.

I'm not interested in getting on. I'm not your little star pupil.

Don't think you can outsmart me, are you?

You'll regret it.

I hope it helps.

It's got the leggings detailed, how much we make from sports clubs.

Everything. Thank you.

It's all paperwork at the moment.

I got you a little something.

Richard Whitman sees that. He won't miss.

How's it going?

Oh, it's OK. Everyone's feeling the pressure of the warning notice, but, you

know, we've got to get on with things.

When will you hear about the appeal?

Today. Which means, come 3 .15, Richard Whitman could have complete control.

Free to appoint new governors, fire my staff, close the school.

So, uh... No pressure, then.

Look, uh...

Do you want to talk or, I don't know, let off steam?

I'm here.

I've only got time to think, let alone anything else.

Well, the offer's there.

Nice to see you back.

Cheers.

Karen, I just wanted to... We'll do this in my office.

you back tomorrow.

Just stay and help me out today, eh?

Mum, I can't.

Where are you going?

We're renovating a garden at the community centre.

I didn't get you that.

I bought it off a mate.

Everyone will be wearing one today.

What's a community garden got to do with learning?

It's better than being stuck in a classroom all day.

What, he's two minutes away. Can't he just stay and finish his breakfast?

Mum! Oh, Jodie, please, me, I just thump it.

Right. Come on, you. All that has to go.

Hey, babe.

Yeah?

Yeah?

Yeah.

Close the door, please.

I need you to read this. It's the return to work procedures.

Part of the school's disciplinary code.

Right. Thanks.

You need to sign it. Hand it back to me by the end of the day.

Karen, I know what I did was wrong.

Hiding Scout's drugs was... A massive lapse of judgment.

I crossed the line, and I am sorry.

This past week has been a wake -up call.

Being a teacher is the most important thing to me, and I won't do anything to

risk that ever again.

This school is facing closure.

I need to be able to trust you, Chris.

No more secrets.

I understand.

And this is Scarlett's birthday back after her suspension.

I suggest you put some distance between you.

I know.

I will.

I see you're heading at the Community Cohesion Project.

Yeah. It'll be good for the staff to think about something other than the

warning notice.

Yeah. I'm looking forward to it.

And please don't worry about me.

From now on, it's strictly professional.

That week felt like a month.

Well, for what it's worth, I think Karen overreacted a bit.

Nah, have a chance to think. I reckon she got it dead right.

I reckon I never get well, he's my size.

Yeah, I have the same problem with stilettos.

Oh, Eleanor.

Eleanor, you got a sec?

Hi.

It's good to see you back.

Judith, listen, I've got a last -minute favour to ask.

Can you come with us on the community project?

We need a female member of staff.

I can't, Chris.

Not today.

Please, look, it'd really help us out.

What's up with you?

You can handle a bit of fresh air, can't you?

OK, but I'm not really dressed for it. Excellent.

Tom will tell you what we're doing.

I'll see you on the minibus.

That is a laugh. thing I needed today.

Is that because I'm going?

I'm sorry to dent your fragile male ego, but I have far more to worry about than

what happened between us, believe me.

Yeah, well, we need to talk about it. If we're going to be stuck together all

day, it might be a good idea to clear the air.

As far as I'm concerned, what happened, happened a one -off.

Well, that's what I think.

Good. Air cleared.

Have a lovely day, won't you?

Okay, go without saying that behaviour has to be the highest standard today.

You're representing the school, so please don't forget that.

Sorry I'm late.

See, that's awesome.

Why are you late?

I had an appointment with my solicitor.

If something tells me you're going to be well acquainted with solicitors over

the next few years. That's right, miss. I'd be suing you in the school if I even

stood my son's trip.

Sit down.

He'll be near the knee.

My name's Keely, I run the community centre.

Hiya. Hiya.

We all ready to get stuck in?

Oh, what's the matter with you?

Well, this lot aren't used to a day's graft, are you? Well, I'm sure a

bloke like you will sort them out. Oh, behave yourselves.

You leave it to me.

Right, we've got loads of garden furniture, plants and stuff that people

donated. We've got to clear all the weeds and the junk, brighten this place

bit, lay down some turf, and we've got ourselves a community garden.

Well, you sound like you know what you're doing. Well, nothing to it,

And moddy, too, eh?

You know we've only got today to get all this done?

Yeah, time is a bit tight, and I promised everyone at the community

be ready by the end of the day, so can't let them down.

Clear the whole garden in one day?

I don't think so.

Eh, it's all right. We can do it.

How about we get this line to two teams? Yeah, sounds good. Yeah, they'll work

faster if there's a bit of competition, won't they?

Yeah. You point us in the right direction, we'll do the rest.

Ooh, I like a man that takes charge.

Right, come on, then.

Split yourself into two teams.

Sounds good, doesn't it, Eleanor?

Eleanor?

Right, you lot.

You come with me and Mr Mead.

We'll take this side.

The rest of you with Miss Chowdhury and Mr Chalk. Get yourselves up that end.

Come on. Chalk, Chalk. What do we get if we win?

A week's free pass to the top of the lunch queue.

Sorry

I'm

late, sir.

Punctuality is the virtue of the board that's hopeful here.

You all right?

Talk about try too hard.

No, it keeps asking me if I'm okay.

A bit weird, innit?

That's too little, too late.

Are you okay?

Yeah, just keep getting back at it.

Are you getting anywhere?

No, not yet, but I'm dreading it.

And the bladder problems and the mood swings. Mr. Burley, are you here to work

or stare off into space?

Bye on schedule.

And if you, uh, don't answer Mr. Clarkson, do you?

He's like the cool teacher in Waterloo.

Is he?

Yeah, and he's, like, so single.

Uh, my coughing up days are, like, so over.

I've got two kids under five.

Mr. Clarkson, look him!

Sir, I'm thinking, once we clear all this stuff, we should get some of that

down on the path.

That's a good idea.

Look how much we've got done already. We'll easily win.

Yep.

So, how was your week off?

Listen, uh, Scout, um... I'm gonna back off from you for a bit.

What do you mean?

I'm your teacher. I'm not your dad.

I can't get too involved with you anymore.

Look, you told me not to deal with stuff on my own. No, no, and you shouldn't,

but...

I'm not the best person to come to.

Not after last week.

Yeah.

Sure, I get it.

Hey.

Hey, you better crack on.

Vicky, you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Well, you don't look it.

I'm okay.

Do you want me to get Jess or someone?

No, I'm okay. It'll go soon.

You don't look well, do you?

You need to go and see a doctor. This isn't right.

Come on, I'll take you.

No, it's fine. I can go myself.

No, you're coming with me now.

Come on.

Here we go.

Take that all over to the skit.

What do you do? I'll put you back out there.

Those sticky willies are in there.

Sticky willy?

It's like Velcro.

It's also known as gallium operine or goose grass. I don't need a lesson in

horticulture. And you, stop wasting time and get on with it.

I just gave you a couple more spades.

Is everything okay?

Yes. Why shouldn't it be?

Is he married?

Got a girlfriend?

I don't know. Does anyone have an IQ that low?

He's the type that likes curry and a beer in front of a flat -screen

Sounds like my kind of man.

OK, guys, nice work. We're still on target.

Mum, I can't.

Because I'm on a school break.

I'm not allowed, Mum.

Right. You okay?

I'm coming.

I've got to go home. What for?

She wanted to go to the shops or something, but I can't leave here.

loads left today.

Well, do you want me to come? Can I help you sort it out?

As long as they're back before they know we've gone.

Yeah. Come on.

I'm off. Where are you going? Why do you need all that stuff?

Well, I've got my best gear.

What for?

You've got my mobile, yeah?

Look, there's some money.

Fridge is full of grub. Just point me in from a telly, you'll be no bother.

Mum, where are you going?

I don't know. I'm just having a bit of time with Jase. Who's Jase?

My new fella.

Don't worry.

I'll phone you.

Anyway,

look, you've got your new mate.

Look after her, love.

It's not to share.

We don't seem to care.

What does bitter time mean?

Do you want to get back in flat?

What about Liam? I've got school.

Mum, please, don't go.

Go on, get.

You can't do this.

I haven't been away in ages.

You and Liam will be all right. It's only for a bit.

Mum, please, just don't leave us.

It's not always about you, Geordie. I need some time for me and all.

Really scared.

Vicky MacDonald?

I'm Dr. Arnold.

Would you like to come through?

If you want, your partner can come.

He's not the baby's father.

I'll, uh, wait here for you.

Have you found what you're looking for?

It's the last year's governor's minutes.

What are you doing here?

I can visit any school on my patch.

You know that.

The appeal process is still going on. You being here could be seen as

intimidation.

Can you get what you're after and leave?

Well, you're not the only one with targets to meet, Karen.

We're all under pressure.

Your secretary seems very loyal.

She is.

Well, can you say that about all your staff?

A word to the wise, they're not all behind you.

You obviously want to unburden yourself, so what is it?

I had one of your staff approach me.

A grievance about the way you've been running this place.

If that were true, I think my staff would approach me first.

Well, they kept on approaching me.

We've built up quite a little dossier in the last few weeks.

Why are you telling me this?

When this school closes, just remember the seeds of destruction were sown here

by you, not in my office.

This member of staff?

The council has a strict policy of protecting the anonymity of wisdom. It

wouldn't happen to be Eleanor Chowdhury, would it?

You should learn to be more suspicious of people, Karen.

Hey, guys.

Nice work. I think it's neck and neck.

All right, let's have a ten -minute break, everyone.

Oh, God.

That's the hardest I've worked in my life ever.

Hey, Eleanor, will you give us a hand with this lot?

We're on a break.

Come on.

We want to win this, don't we? With the kids.

Helena, have you got a sec?

Look, it's pretty obvious that you don't want to be here. But the kids do, and

we've got a responsibility to them.

What does that mean?

It means that I think you should put your ideas on.

Is this you pulling rank?

Well, if you like.

Look, this is supposed to be a team effort.

Everyone working together. Looks to me like you couldn't give a damn about any

of it. Oh, you couldn't be more wrong. I do give a damn.

Just because I'm not singing and dancing doesn't mean I don't want us to do

well. Good.

Then at least make it look as though you want today to be a success, then, eh?

Okay, I'll try.

So, what are you two doing with Horace?

Don't try and steal our ideas, Emily, all right?

We've got this one sold out.

I just said copy you.

We're two down.

Scout and Denzel.

Has anyone seen them?

Who? Scout and Denzel. They're not here.

Well, they're not in the garden. That was the last one out.

We should get back.

They would have clocked us by now.

I can't take him with us.

Can you not leave him with someone?

An auntie or a neighbour?

Mum's falling out with all her relatives.

Her neighbours.

Can we not come back at lunch?

Leave him.

I can't, Denny. He doesn't like being on his own.

We've got no choice.

If Mead finds out we've gone, you've had it.

All right.

Don't let him see us.

Just till lunch, yeah?

OK.

Come on.

You should be all right.

Ronan? Do you like to come through? Vicky wants to see you.

Is she okay? She's just through here. I'll let her talk to you.

Yeah?

Where's my baby?

Vicky's had a miscarriage.

I'm so sorry.

She's going to need all her friends and family to support her.

Why me, Ronan?

Maybe if we could have come earlier then they could have stopped it. I don't

think so. Ronan's right.

There's nothing we could have done at this stage in your pregnancy.

But what's important is what happens next.

You've been through something that's very tough emotionally.

You need to treat this as a grieving process.

Grieving? Absolutely.

Don't try to face this on your own.

I'll go and get that information we discussed and we can arrange your

follow -up.

I'll give you a few minutes alone.

I don't know what to say.

I'm okay.

I'm fine.

I'm just going to wait for the doctor to come back and then I'll go.

I can get myself home if you want to get back to school.

I'll wait here with you.

Well, I must admit I'm not Eleanor's biggest fan, but snitching to Richard

behind your back?

Oh, that's low.

What has she actually told him?

I don't know exactly.

That's part of the problem.

Well, it could be a ploy.

It's a way for him to mess with your head.

Well, it's working.

If I thought for a minute that my staff were turning against me, I'd get my coat

and go now.

You don't know that for sure.

So find out what's happened.

Know your enemy and all that, yeah?

All right.

Okay.

Thanks.

No problem.

Janice?

Do we... Have the staff passwords for the school computers.

I don't think we're... Where have you two been?

Oh, come on!

What, have you not agreed a lie to tell? Where did you go?

But you can't just run off whenever you feel like it.

Right, you'll be spending some time in the cooler when we get back.

Fine.

Pardon? Whatever.

You have disappointed me.

I expected a lot more from you today.

Yeah, right.

We were bored.

This whole stupid garden thing is totally crap.

Right, well, you've got a lot of work to catch up on. Shift. Grab some compost.

Get a spade in your hands.

Hang on.

You were perfectly happy this morning. What's changed?

Has this got something to do with what we spoke about earlier?

It's not to do with that.

Really? So it's just you being selfish, is it?

Why don't you chill out, yeah?

Liam will be fine.

I shouldn't have left him.

Well, guys, it's looking really, really good.

We do have to lay all the turf out here and come and get all the benches out as

well, but we're doing really well for time.

Alan Titchmarsh will be proud.

Who's Alan Titchmarsh?

Hey, um, I was wondering, after all this thirsty work, do you fancy going for a

drink later?

Yeah, sounds good to me.

Thank you to me.

Sorry, did you say something?

Me? No, didn't say a word.

Hey, be careful with that. Bring it here.

I thought you were supposed to be watching them two.

I'm busy.

It's a good job I'm taking control now.

Mr Clarkson said this was supposed to go on our side.

Did he now? Well, it needs to go somewhere where there's sun over there.

moving a bench too much like hard work?

Why don't you stick it where the sun doesn't shine?

What did you say?

Sitting in the sun's not good for your kish wrinkles.

I think I've had just about as much as I can take of your smart remarks. What's

going on here now?

She just as good as told me to stick that bench. No, look, it was just a

remark. She knew exactly what you were saying.

OK, I'll deal with this.

You, come work through your lunch. This path needs sweeping.

No way. We're entitled to a lunch. I'm having a lunch. You're entitled to

nothing. You'll do as I tell you.

Right, everyone, let's go and eat.

This ain't fair.

No. Do you know what else isn't fair?

Swanning off and leaving your team to do all the work.

You know what?

I nearly lost my job because of you.

And this is the thanks I get in return.

You don't understand. No, I don't. And do you know what? I don't care.

So get a brush in your hand, otherwise you're off the project. Simple as.

That's what you think of me?

Get off!

What are you doing?

You're after the little scum! Stop her!

I'll see you then!

Get off!

Get off! Get off! Stop it! It's to me! It's to me!

It's to me!

It's to me!

Stop! Just calm down. Calm down, I said.

You want me to deal with this?

No, it's all right. I can handle it.

Right, come on. Come in with me.

Get inside that centre now.

Keep this while we are.

Right. What is wrong with you today?

I'm not being selfish. I just need to go home. You're going straight back to

school. Mrs Fisher, we'll be in contact with your mum to discuss your behaviour.

She'll have to find her first. What does that mean?

She's with her boyfriend on holiday.

What? She's left Liam with me.

I was supposed to go back at lunch. Liam's at home on his own.

You're telling me that your mum has left your three -year -old brother in the

flat on his own? You can't tell anyone.

I've got to get back to him. You've got to help me.

It's ruined.

Today the three of us. Shut up.

You've done nothing.

Hey, she worked hard, actually, Denzel.

We all did.

I hope your little friend's got all her anger and frustration out of her system.

You don't know what you're talking about.

Denzel. No, sir, she doesn't. All you've done today is shout at people and go

on.

Satisfied?

Two peas in a little feral pod.

I don't believe you.

Daniel, what's your problem?

My problem?

My problem?

You haven't got a clue, have you?

I don't know what it is that's been bugging you, but you've been taking out

the kids all day.

Your behaviour is appalling.

You're a bully, Eleanor.

Plain and simple.

I will not be spoken to like that.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

You can give it, can you? But you can't take it. Just like all bullies, a coward

at heart won't... Why don't you do us all a favour and shut off back to

Right, er... Come on.

Two teams, let's get this sorted.

What's the point?

No, come on. Come on.

We can do this. Come on.

Let's do it. Come on.

It's open.

I definitely closed it.

Liam. Liam.

Liam, don't hide.

He's not in here.

All right, all right. Let's just calm down. He must have got out. Sir, we've

to find him. He's only three.

We will. He won't have gone far.

He didn't mean all of those things.

Yes, he did.

All right.

He did.

And he's got a point.

You can be a little confrontational.

It's called discipline.

Something is not right with you, Anna.

What is it?

It's this place.

Waterloo Road.

I don't fit in. I never did. I never will.

Well, be honest. I mean, how hard have you really tried?

I'm just not used to working with these kind of kids. I mean, Scout Allen.

I just don't get them.

Well, maybe she doesn't get you.

But you think a school is all about exam results and nothing else.

I did think that.

Well, good, if you've changed your mind.

What you said earlier.

I do care about this school.

And the children.

Well, the kids need to see that.

Are you going to suggest I start dishing out hugs?

She'll let them see that side of you.

The kids love a sense of humour.

I know I need to change. I want to change.

It's just... It's too late.

I'm not having a chowdry throwing in the towel.

What is the world coming to?

Come on.

Let's go and see what we can salvage.

Anything?

He's got a bit somewhere.

All right, let's try down this way. Come on.

Look.

Liam?

Now he's down here.

You go down there. I'll check the other side. We can't find him in a second,

though. I'm going to call the police.

Where are we going?

Where?

William!

William!

Stay there! Stay there! Don't move! Don't move! Which one?

Stay there!

Where do you think you were going?

You all right, miss?

Yeah, I'm fine, Rona. Thanks.

Sorry I lost my temper.

No need to apologise.

I deserved it.

All of it.

You're not as bad as I made out.

Actually, I am.

I was.

In a funny sort of way, I'm glad you did it.

I'm really sorry, Daniel.

It's forgotten.

Right, why are we all stood here like city's back four? We're well into injury

time. But, sir... Hey, no buts. Come on, let's crack on.

That's one way to speed things up, Emily.

Not the most efficient way of painting, but it might be better to... No.

No, it looks good.

There we go.

That's the last of them.

Thanks. That's just what we need.

Thanks for coming. And we really hope you like it.

Come in.

Fisher, there's a woman on the line. Something's about to about BP up.

Karen Fisher.

OK, so you've all worked amazingly hard, but there can only be one winner.

Actually, you're all winners for putting in your time and effort, so thank you.

However, I think that the team that has just sneaked it is... Miss Charging Mr

Chop! CHEERING

Yeah, Keely, about that drink.

By the time I get this done... Oh, look, another pint, then.

Thanks for all your help.

Yeah, no problem.

They've really enjoyed it.

You too.

See you later. Thank you.

Thanks,

Keely. You've been great. Oh, look, I wouldn't have missed it.

But listen, you do something about him.

Because if I see him again...

Started thinking about names.

Here we go.

Even put on baby clothes.

You'd have been a great mum, Vic.

I was really looking forward to that feeling.

The total love you get from a baby.

Just because they depend on you so much.

This baby would have been a part of me.

Something that was mine.

I don't mean like I own it. Yeah, I know what you mean.

I just feel like I'm being punished.

I don't think I was ever supposed to have this baby.

Not after what I did for you and Jess.

Vicky, what you did, yeah, it hurt.

But that is not why you lost your baby.

We were engaged, living together.

And I messed up. All that up by going off with Aidan.

I don't even know how you feel about it.

Vicky, don't do this to yourself.

What, you don't think things happen for a reason?

No, of course I don't.

Look, you're probably not going to want to hear this, but I wanted that baby.

It was going to be my family.

I can't believe it's gone.

I won't answer, sir. You're wasting your time.

She didn't even tell you where she was going.

That's just the way she is. She ain't bad or anything.

Scout, she's left you to fend for yourselves.

Do you know how serious this is? She could go to prison.

Please don't. Just put him up.

You don't know that. Social services are trying to keep you together.

If you call them, I'll take Liam and I'll run away. I mean it. Okay, okay.

I didn't say that I would call them.

Liam would hate it. He wouldn't sleep on my thyroid with him.

Is there no one else that you can call?

No.

The meter's run out.

I've only got 20 quid.

Look, we'll be fine till she gets back. Just please, don't tell anyone.

Right, we're going back to school.

Oh, no.

I need to speak to Mrs Fisher. I've been AWOL for the last two hours.

Get a bag. Get your stuff and Liam's.

Toothbrush, clothes, whatever.

You're coming back to mine.

I don't know how I'm going to tell Aidan.

Or Jess.

Don't worry.

I'll be there with you.

I know you'll get through this, Vicks.

You're dead together.

I am so sorry that I hurt you, Ronan.

If I could do anything to change what happened.

You don't know how many times I wish that baby was yours.

Well, you don't have to say anything.

I just want to say... I love you.

And thanks.

Thanks for being here.

I love you too.

I've always loved you.

That's all that happens now.

Maybe we can start again.

Yeah.

I've enjoyed it, but I'll be glad to get back to some hard songs.

See you tomorrow.

Great work, guys.

See you later, Miss Jeff. Bye, girls.

Bye.

Bye, guys.

Well, at least we're talking to each other.

That is a good thing.

We could go for a drink, though, if you want.

No politics.

Well, I'm not coming if you can't argue.

You did well today.

The kids got a lot out of it.

Yeah, not just a bit.

Our leader has called a meeting.

Looks like the appeal decision has come through.

So, if anyone fancies a drink later, it's either a celebration or a wake.

Right. I'll be five minutes.

Are you going to get in trouble, sir?

No. I'll be fine.

Don't open the door. Don't get out of the car for anyone.

Thanks for hanging on, everyone.

The news is that we haven't lost our appeal.

But the independent inspectors can't uphold it either. They want to make

own informed decision.

So they have decided to carry out an inspection here tomorrow.

Will all subjects be inspected?

Assume you will be observed, all of you.

As you know, Richard Whitman was the person responsible for instigating all

this.

I have to tell you that he wasn't acting alone.

It doesn't please me to have to tell you that someone in this room has been

passing information about us to him.

ill -informed opinions and tittle -tattle, but enough to convince him to

What, a teacher?

Yes. Do you know who it is? So we can string them up.

I would hope that the person responsible will have the courage of their

convictions to stand up and speak for themselves.

It's me.

It's me.

I've been passing information to Richard.

Every time something happened or got messed up, I, um...

I reported it.

I'm so sorry.

I made a mistake.

I know it's too late, but...

I'm really sorry I did it.

And if you'd just let me explain... How do you explain stabbing your colleagues

in the back?

Last week, the drugs in school.

It was you who called the police, wasn't it?

Hope it was worth it.

Well, we all have a very important day tomorrow. I would suggest that we try

concentrate on that.

If I could take it back, I would.

You have to believe me.

I'll deal with you in a minute.

I've got to get the lab ready for tomorrow.

Well, I think we need to talk about the inspection.

Absolutely. Let's meet first thing.

It's like you've just said, though.

We're ready for them.

I can't believe how manipulative Eleanor's been.

I know.

She's filled all of us.

Day in, day out, working with her colleagues, lying to their faces like

Well, let's forget about Eleanor. Let's concentrate on showing these inspectors

what we're made of.

Okay.

So how's the project going?

It's going really well.

I'll fill you in tomorrow.

OK.

This is for one night, if you've got that.

If I can't get in touch with your mum tomorrow, then I'm phoning social

services.

Did you get in trouble?

No. No, I didn't.

You had to lie through the door, didn't you?

Thanks, sir.

I just don't know why he did it.

Well, he'd have paid her.

You don't do this sort of thing out of conviction.

You're wrong.

She did. I'm sure of it.

Well... Better go and break the habit of a lifetime and prepare a lesson.

You OK?

Yeah, I'm fine. Why?

Nothing, just you and Eleanor. It's OK. I've got a lot to do, mate.

Yeah, me too. I'll see you tomorrow.

At first I thought I was doing the right thing.

I didn't agree with the way the school was being run.

All your years of experience tell you that, did they?

I was wrong.

And I'm sorry.

I've seen your emails to Richard.

This is personal.

He recruited you, didn't he?

Yes. At first it was just general stuff.

Areas of school were struggling in, parent complaints, and then it became

about... you.

The decisions you made or hadn't made.

I've always tried to help you.

Guide you the best way I can.

Why didn't you come to me?

I wish I had.

But he just kept going on about promotion and...

And now he used me.

I'm so stupid.

I just can't understand why you would take sides with a man like that.

And then...

Call the police in, behind my back.

I know I've let you down.

Well, it's done now.

I'll resign.

I'll hand my notice in first thing tomorrow.

If you really are sorry, then prove it.

You come in here first thing tomorrow morning, face your colleagues.

And give us your very best for the inspection.

Even after what I've done?

Resigning's the easy way out.

Wow.

Nice pub, sir.

around. No way, is this your fridge?

You like your beer, don't you?

You hungry?

Yeah, have you got any oven chips? Yeah, you sit yourself down and I'll make us

something. Can I put the telly on?

Remote's on the side.

I want their decision.

in writing on my desk.

I don't care.

I'll call you back.

Who the hell do you think you are?

Intimidating my staff to do your dirty work for you.

I assume you've spoken to Eleanor Chowdhury.

Using a gullible young woman.

To try and close a school. I wouldn't describe her as gullible.

Ambitious, yes. I haven't seen ambition like that in a long time.

And you tapped into that?

To get what you wanted? What I wanted was a failing school closed.

And what have you achieved?

Nothing. We're being inspected tomorrow.

And you know what, Richard? I can't wait.

You'll fail tomorrow.

Do you want to bet on that?

What if all this manipulation of yours comes for nothing?

It'll be the biggest waste of your time. Then I'll find another way to get you

out. Are you just going to get rid of Eleanor now, now that you've used her?

Well, I'm sure she'll find another job.

She'll be back in my school tomorrow morning.

I refuse to accept her offer of resignation. You see, that's what you

understand about my school, Richard. We're loyal.

Your grotty little school will fail tomorrow, and when it does, you'll never

work as a headteacher again.

I'll blacken your name so much you won't be able to get a job carrying a

lollipop.

You know, up close, you're really rather pathetic, Richard.

There's the door.

You need to get some oven chips, though.

You won't be here to eat them.

What happens tomorrow?

I'm gonna get hold of your mum.

I meant it, Scooble.

I'll throw it to you.

You ready?

Are you gonna look after Liam?

Look, Scout, I need some time to think.

Talk about it in the morning, yeah?

He'll need more clothes.

And food.

He can't have any of that stuff you've got.

I'll figure something out.

Sorry to turn up unannounced.

No worries.

You busy?

No, no.

Come through.

It's not too late, is it?

No. Let me take your coat.

Bad day? No.

It was quite good, actually.

Just thought with Eleanor and... No, I took your advice and...

Let go of my anger.

What? You do listen to me occasionally.

You have your moments.

Um... Drink.

No, I'm not thirsty.

Actually,

I haven't come here for a drink.

I was there in the morning.

Social services need to know. Please don't.

They'll take us in to go and split us up. They'll do what they think is

necessary. Chris, we're being inspected today.

And you land this in my lap.

Alison's going to get wind of it and then she's going to think I can't manage

staff.

Scout's left school but she's taken her brother with her. I'm going to try and

find them. There's not good timing. I need you here.

No, this is too important.

I said I'd look after her.

You know what this is like?

I had to get out with you.

That'll work.

Tickets, please.

Today's events leave the L .A. with no alternative than to suspend you.

I believe that this school is important.

And I believe that it's worth fighting for.

And that's what I intend to do. Are you with me?

Yes!
