Can't live like this, you get me?

Let go!

Just calm down.

I don't want to be given this list.

No. Bring it on.

That it is?

Yes, get him!

Sanctimonious little... I told him that you're a devious, selfish, little weirdo

that can't be trusted.

I mean, what is a mother to do?

Is it true, sir?

Is this really you?

That man beat my mother like clockwork.

What I did for him, that doesn't make me a monster.

I'll have to take your word for that.

They can be there.

If you're this tough on the kids, they'll row the Atlantic by lunchtime.

What's this one so drawing thing? He'd have anyway.

One of the kids, Tarek, is in a wheelchair.

So they're fundraising to get him a new kayak.

Is Imogen involved?

Who? My daughter.

No idea.

On the floor.

Crunchers, give me ten reps.

Let's go.

You should pop in and say hello.

No chance.

I've got a meeting with Michael, the head.

Is he as charming as people say he is?

Why?

Want me to put in a good word for you? Not me. No, not my type.

What is your type?

Tall, funny, faithful.

Sally, he's gone. Get over it.

Dress ups.

Ten. Nine.

What do we know about any of the rest of the staff at this place? Excuse me. Is

everything all right here? What happened to you?

I told you to deny it. What? You know full well you attacked me in the pub.

You fell over into a table. Is that what you told the police when they arrested

you for beating your father to a bone? You resigned and saved the school's

reputation. Get that thing out of my face, please. Thank you very much.

Hurry, open it.

Miss Donegan, have you any statement regarding Michael Burns' assault after

luring me to the pub last week? No comment.

This is private property, all right? I'm going to have to ask you all to leave.

People have a right to know the truth. I'm sure you'll give it to them.

Your version of it, at any rate.

What the hell's going on? Gerard Finlay's playing dirty again.

He said you lured him to a pub. No, I challenged him about his smear campaign.

You promised me. No more bombshells. I didn't touch him. So where did he get

injuries?

He hasn't even made a complaint to the police.

Yet.

Thanks for your support.

Give me good news.

Are you joking?

What?

It's about time you got a bit of glamour in your life.

I don't even like Fred.

But babes look all lovely with the dress.

You think I'd be seen dead wearing this?

You've got a great figure. You should be showing it off, not hiding it under

those baggy moth -eating jumpers.

Still, I suppose I could always re -create myself into it.

Every cloud a man.

Shall we open the rest of your cards?

Whatever.

Hello. Happy birthday.

Sing it then.

Sing it? No chance to be mental.

How did you know it was my birthday anyway?

I have telepathic powers.

Very funny.

How do you think?

Facebook.

I'd better go.

See you later.

Bye.

What's up?

Dad's getting married?

I made you breakfast.

I am not hungry.

You have to eat something or you... Or what?

You'll hit me again?

How many times do I have to say I'm sorry?

Sorry's not good enough, Connor.

Look, Mum.

It's going to happen sooner or later.

Of course.

I'm happy for him.

Who was on the phone before?

A mate.

Why don't you ask them over tonight?

What? Because we had that new dress I bought.

That new bar in town's quite dressy.

Might even slip you a cocktail if you're lucky.

I can't. I've got plans.

What sort of plans?

We're going to the cinema.

You do that another night.

Last showing.

Thanks for the lift. Wait, wait, I'll walk in with you. Where's the visitor's

parking? Why?

Didn't I say?

I'm helping out at the throne again.

Please tell me you're joking.

What? I can't let the rain down. Jazz for me especially.

You're not coming dressed in that.

What's wrong with her?

Morning, Christine.

Have a good one.

Well, thank you.

If this was the public sector, we'd be looking at suspension.

So you do think he's guilty, then? No, I didn't say that. Why don't you ask

Grantley? He used to be your old union rep, didn't he? Yeah, how come you're so

quiet? If you must know, Michael has my full and unequivocal support.

Ditto.

Innocent until proven guilty, that's my motto.

He doesn't look good, though, does he?

Gerard's allegations all over the press.

This? You mean we...

Good morning, everyone.

Morning. Morning. Morning.

I'm sure you will have encountered Gerard Findlay outside, for the record.

I'd just like to say I had nothing to do with his injuries.

Never crossed our minds. And don't forget, there's a sixth form sponsored

taking place today in the hall. How gratifying to see the students taking

initiative, Michael.

How far are they rowing, anyway?

Edinburgh to Greenock, about 80 miles, give or take.

Well, good on them, I say.

Yeah, with some achievement if they complete the course in time. Tarek must

delighted his friends are raising money for him. Oh, is he, anyway?

Yeah, he's making good progress, but we should all keep an eye out.

All right, that's everything.

How are you doing?

I'm fine.

Look, I thought that I should offer you an apology. I should have told you about

my dad. Fine. You don't owe me anything.

I didn't use all the hot water to talk to you, Henry.

My shower's freezing.

I still can't even feel my feet. I can't feel my legs.

It's a joke.

My mum's threatening to pull me out of school.

What? Why?

What do you think?

The breweries are burning.

Oh, well.

Have a cloud there.

Oi, leave him.

He's all right.

Here she is. Happy birthday.

Thanks. I swear to Maggie that you can come round tonight.

Cool.

You coming?

Nothing else on. Do you want us to bring drinks and stuff?

Oh, what we need is a bottle of cider. Can't be helped. I don't drink.

Oh, what's up?

Just go to mummy and find an elf.

Be careful, boys.

Be careful.

Help Bubba go fair if you get a scratch on them.

Lovely, thank you.

Excuse me, can I help you?

Sally Stewart.

Lorraine's personal trainer.

She persuaded my boss to lend the rowing machines.

Wants me to make sure they don't do themselves an injury.

That's very kind of you to volunteer.

I don't mind.

Gives me a chance to see how my daughter's getting on.

Imogen, you're 12.

I know, I don't look old enough.

Here.

You're a dark horse.

I'll stick him one on, dear. I'd film him. I didn't hit him.

It's all right, Lee. They saw him, so... You never saw him, and all the time in

my gym was that hat lock.

Where's the lady?

Down the corridor, second on the right.

All right.

Thanks for telling me.

Saves having to pay a teaching assistant.

Morning. Here's your dry cleaning.

Thank you.

Amazing dress. It looks just like the one that Cameron Diaz wore in the

Lush. Do you want to just pop it into the office?

Hope you're not taking advantage of her good nature.

Her good nature is what I pay her for.

Certainly not her brain.

What have you got there?

Adapted rolling machine.

Doing my bit. Oh, right.

How are you?

Don't worry.

I'm never going back to that dark place again.

Glad to hear it.

Don't forget, I'm just down the hall.

Sorry, excuse me. Which way is the office again?

To your left, through the double doors, down and then through the next double...

You lost me at the double doors.

I'm sure you feel it.

So, what's your name?

Connor. And what year is Connor in?

Twelve. Really?

You must know Imogen?

Imogen Stewart?

I thought of. She kind of keeps herself to herself.

I'm Sally, by the way.

I'm in charge of this long marathon.

Watch you guys sweat it out.

It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it.

Hope you're getting involved.

I'm not really into sport.

Strapping lad like you?

It's like a walnut with those biceps.

Davidson? Not you, sir.

Hamilton?

I don't know Stephanie either.

You keep playing with it, you'll break it. How did you make it? Hurry. I'll

you sometime.

Here. I'll come back round to yours one day.

Mulgrew.

Here.

And have my mum and her faces hassling us all the time.

Here. It could be worse.

She can be a teacher. Ross.

Here. She might as well be.

White. She's helping with this Rome thing. Here.

Yeah, I know.

Gilligan.

Here. What?

Wilson. Nothing.

Here. Has she said something to you?

Coleman. Here.

She's just been...

Friendly shadow.

Here. How friendly.

Brown. Here.

Hey, I haven't finished the register yet.

He's tidy.

That must be a record

even for you. Come on.

Don't pretend that you don't know.

Hitting on my mate?

I was being friendly.

What do you want me to do, walk about with a face like a smack bum, like

I know? So you don't deny it, then? Calm down, darling.

You're showing yourself off.

I'm showing myself off?

Just because you feel we're not so different, after all. Same taste in men,

one. Like Connor would ever go for you. He's a nice -looking lad.

You should invite him as your plus one to the wedding.

I'm not taking anyone. But you're young.

You should be enjoying life.

I don't want to get left on the shelf.

Oh, give up!

Right, what about the nurse?

She's on 35K.

Lorraine, there is such a thing as duty of care.

How many grey's needs does she patch up in a day?

It's never a full -time position. Get rid of her.

Mr Chalk and Miss McFarlane are rich. Should I make them an appointment?

It'll only take two minutes. Excuse me, if you want to speak to Miss Donegan or

Mr Byrne, you've got to come through me first.

Janice, it's fine.

Sorry to interrupt, but Daniel and I are worried.

I've had four missing at registration this morning. No calls from parents,

nothing. I've got two pupils who've gone AWOL. So, there's a bug going round.

I've a nasty feeling parents are removing their children from school.

Just a feeling?

I'm a verger at the church. I overheard the congregation discussing Michael's

part.

They would take their kids out of school over that.

OK, thanks.

I tell you, when I see Gerard Finlay, I am going to... What?

Finish the job?

I didn't touch him. It's the God's honest truth.

Truth is what people perceive it to be.

So, what, I'm a liability now? You're just going to cut me loose?

So we lost six pupils. Fine.

I won't be losing any sleep.

OK, good.

But if a trickle becomes a flood, different story.

OK, in your groups, discuss the role of women in Hamlet.

Someone take notes.

An original thought this time, please.

Like, she wants a piece of my life.

Always so... so... Mums are nosy.

They come to the territory.

The ring.

Hand it over.

But... Now, please.

A ring made out of, um... What is that?

Paperclips? Careful, my delicate.

Aw, young love.

Am I going to have to buy a new hat?

Going to the chapel and we're going to get married.

Not like that.

Good job.

Talk about last of the big spenders, eh?

Actually, I like it.

Good on you.

There's nothing wrong with being easily pleased.

Goat, swap places with Imogen, please.

You keep your mouth shut.

Greenock to Edinburgh.

Isn't that like 100 miles?

That's something like it's about 80.

77, people say.

By lunchtime.

Easy. Come on, boys. Don't let the pace drop.

Come on, frackers. What's this?

No plight on you, is there?

Work out every day?

Cheer. Least I can do.

Come on. We're never going to make it at this rate.

Lean out on the backswing.

Shoulders relaxed.

Come on, that's it. Time's up.

Come on, change round.

Remember to stretch off or you'll be too stiff to go again later.

It's a bit late for ghosts.

Great roll, Gus.

That's how you do it, everyone.

Perfect technique.

It's been known.

And don't forget your worksheets.

I wasn't talking about you.

I heard you.

We were discussing her mum.

Like I'd waste my breath on you.

Give me the ring.

You know the rules, Connor.

No jewelry in school.

This isn't about the ring.

This is about imaging.

Oh, please.

You're jealous.

Jealous about somebody in my life compared to your sad, empty existence.

Spare me the pop psychology.

You can be as hard on me as you like.

Water off a duck's back.

But I swear if you start on her, I will make your life a misery.

You always wear a petty little boy.

Try me.

This is Mulgrew.

Do you have a minute?

Yes.

Put a smile on Tarek's face.

I'm saving all my money for the baby.

What about you?

I haven't got any change.

Dinner money will have to do then, won't it?

Hey, thought I'd have my mum and dad Australia gone.

It's cool.

Did you get my ring back?

Look, I'll make you another one.

It's okay.

Don't have to.

Don't you want me to?

Do you make all your mates' jewellery?

Fair point.

Catch you later.

That's really hitting the spot.

Your husband's the lucky guy.

I'm divorced, actually.

How can we still wear a wedding ring?

Keep away chancers like you.

Some serious knots here.

You need a proper session.

How about tonight?

Nice try.

Do you miss home?

Some things. My friends, family.

I worry about their safety.

The Congo is volatile politically.

How come your English is so good? I like to learn.

Education creates opportunity.

You sound like Mr Burns.

But it's true.

You take so much for granted here.

Don't be shy.

And you come.

So, what else do you speak?

I speak French, Lingala, but French is my first language.

So, you'd be able to do French homework with your eyes closed.

What would that do, then?

No, I mean that you'd be able to do it really easy.

Ah, all these phrases you have.

You say things you don't mean.

I'm sure we'd be able to help each other out.

Okay, books open.

Start the exercise on the board, please.

I'm telling you, Sally can't get enough of me.

She's a tease, fam.

Spot it a mile off, yeah?

I'm telling you, you said that.

Over a drink tonight, she said, take a break, get a drink. You're confused.

You got a date? Trust me, she's going to take me back to her boudoir and have

her wicked way.

Oh, yes, if they take the word gullible out of the dictionary and all.

Ten quid, says I smash it.

All right, then, you're on.

No, I understand that. Look, I can assure you, Mr. Patterson, there really

need to remove Lucy from school.

Hello?

You OK?

No, not really.

So deal with this.

Speak to your dad. Get him to set the record straight.

No. So how many more pupils will have to go before you do do something?

You know something? I really should never have come back here.

Too many ghosts.

Where is it?

Where's what?

You know exactly what.

No idea.

I need a... I've got a full morning's classes and I can't

leave. Not my problem.

Sorry.

Do you think you're clever?

Well, you're not. You're nothing.

And your little wide -eyed wonder's probably laughing at you behind your

Here. Take it.

You really want to be more than...

The police there need a firm hand.

Is that any boyfriend?

Boyfriend?

If I was 20 years younger.

Something that can help you?

My name's Sian Diamond, Mr Byrne.

Let me guess.

You're from the lottery. I won the jackpot.

I'm a friend of Michael.

I didn't think he even knew where I lived.

He doesn't know I'm here.

That figures.

It is important.

No doubt.

I suppose you'd better come in then.

Come on, don't let the pace go.

Only 25 miles left to go.

Go on, Sam.

Where are you going?

Come back, we need you.

Another one bites the dust.

Come on, love. Josh.

I'll pay you the snacks.

I'm going nowhere.

The headmaster of the neighboring school is accusing Michael of hitting him.

Excuse me.

Did he?

No. Finlay has a vendetta against Michael because he can do his job

The parents believe that Michael poses a threat to the students.

They found out about him getting arrested for assaulting you when he was

younger.

Might have killed me.

Well, I think if they knew the reason why, they wouldn't be... quite so

judgmental.

There's no point in dredging up the past.

There's a serious chance that Michael could lose his job.

He's always done his own thing.

Why stop now?

You must think I'm a monster.

Will you help?

Mikey doesn't know you're here.

No.

I'll talk to Gerard.

His uncle and I used to work down the dogs. Gerard's all right. He's just a

highly strung.

I know where he has his lunch.

Right, that's good, we've got to go. No, stop!

No, no, we can't, it's a teaser.

But it's probably just a false alarm.

You obviously don't know this place, do you?

Can you move it to near 70 points, please?

Oh, fingers crossed, can I get the afternoon off? Start the party early?

What party?

It's just to get together to celebrate my birthday.

Sounds good. Sounds okay.

No

need

to get excited. I'm sure it's just a test.

Stay in your classes. Do not try my patience.

He'd have to revert his fire in a boiler house and manage to put it out.

Well done.

I hope it's not too serious.

Who cares? It's just a screw.

We need to make up for lost time.

We've already lost quite a bit of time in the past and took them home. This is

whack farm. We're never going to complete the course in time.

Have the sporting money gone now?

Look, it was a nice hard day, yeah, but I don't need my own kayak anyway.

Quitters never win.

Winners never quit.

We're going to do this.

I can't do any more knackered.

Oh, I have got just the thing. Back in a minute.

Overdoing the sherry a bit, eh?

You don't look well.

Yeah, I think I must be coming down with something.

Come and have a sit down. I'll make you a cup of tea. No, no, I'm fine. No, no,

no, come on. I insist, I insist.

Get your lunch down, yeah? We're on a mission. What?

We're men down.

Won't get across the finish line without a bit of moral support.

Give the boys a bit of a boost.

Cheer them home.

Should be enough costumes to fit you up. Is this a joke?

Come on, it'll be a laugh.

You wear it, then.

All right.

See if I've got a thing.

Please, Mum, don't do this. No.

No way. Are you serious?

I had her young.

Oh, and everyone else was up for it.

And not everyone else.

Suit yourself.

How many students is that?

Thirteen. So far.

What, you don't think that's it?

We'll be collecting our P45s before you can say mass exodus.

If only we'd been able to prevent the article going out in the first place.

Can I have your attention, folks?

Did any of you have any students leaving class during fourth period?

I would round up the usual suspects.

Just preliminary inquiries.

None of mine.

No, I don't think so.

You all right? You're shaking.

Oh, yeah, just I haven't been sleeping much. I'm a mother. I worry.

What's he done now?

We don't seem to be able to connect.

I keep asking myself, what am I doing wrong?

Firemen are in your affect.

All right, we'll catch you up later.

Have you called Larry? Did I?

She never chewed me hair off.

All right.

Hey.

Hey.

Where's Tim and Jen?

Sorry. You OK?

My mum does my head in, that's all.

Snap.

Can't see a twig? Where did you get that? Where do you think?

Most women keep makeup in their handbag, but my mum's not most women.

Thought I had problems.

I feel like I can tell you anything.

Funny, innit?

What's wrong?

Nothing. Nothing. I've got to go.

Thanks for your time. No problem.

Well?

The fire was contained to the boiler room. We got lucky this time.

How'd you work that out? The gas pipe from the boiler was corroded.

We're fortunate not to be pulling students from the rubble. It was on the

to be replaced.

Well, it doesn't matter now. The fire officers condemned it.

How much was that going to cost? A lot less than if the whole place went up.

Do we know what started it?

Initially, they thought one of the kids was having a crafty fig, but now it

turns out there was accelerant used.

We definitely have an arsonist on our hands.

Great. White things aren't bad enough already.

Five, six, seven, eight, two, four, six, eight. Who do we appreciate? Go, Josh!

Go, Phoenix!

Go, Mary!

Woo!

Wow, not bad.

Was that good? Better than you, cupcake.

Come on, boys.

Really push it. You're nearly there.

Right, come on, let's cheer them on. Seven, eight.

2 .3.

31 .6.

That's still not enough.

Check that out.

18 dead.

Just over 80.

Bet you'll get your kayaking year after all. Hey, you better not forget about

us, wouldn't you? Picking up the gold. Yeah, right.

Look, guys, thanks.

I really couldn't have done it without you.

Couldn't have done it without Sally, though, eh?

I swear

my man still thinks he's in Hogwarts.

Sorry to break up the party.

They've done it. Brilliant effort.

How much have you all raised?

It's done again.

That grand, I reckon.

And the rest, book it's even.

That's good.

Because the money's going to go towards a new boiler.

What? Someone at the school started that fire, the whole place could have gone

up. So unless the guilty party owns up to it, you'd all have to pay.

That's not fair.

So do me.

I am not your free ride.

I want that sponsorship money on Mr Burns' desk by the end of the week.

Carry on.

Say it again.

Gerard.

What are you doing with that?

Charming.

Miss Diamond here tells me you got into a spot to bother with Mikey.

Well, you know what he's like.

What are you doing with your arm?

Elbow. Sprained it.

No, you don't.

I thought so.

No, I peep at you.

Game's up, Gerard.

The whole thing's a -gone.

They still put you in a coma, didn't they? Well, that's between me and him,

you do me a favour. Back off, my son.

It's out of my hands.

The parents are up in arms. Speak to them.

Not me.

Did I get you one?

You were always a prat.

Take care of yourself, Billy.

I tried.

So that's it?

Michael wouldn't want me to get involved.

You're both as stubborn as each other, you know that, don't you?

Some things aren't easy to forget.

Maybe you just need to be the bigger man.

And if you guys want to use the gym at the health club, let me know.

Get you in at a discount.

Haven't you got somewhere to be?

Not really.

We're just hanging out.

Well, thanks for everything.

See you around.

Can't you take a hint?

Imogen!

You OK?

It's all right. I know when I'm not wanted.

Don't take it personally.

They're all a bit creaky anyway.

I was talking about Imogen.

I think they're going up.

It's not embarrassing, Sally.

It's jealousy.

What?

Look at you.

You could be mistaken for a sister.

Leave it out.

So how about that drink, then?

Look, Angus, you're a lovely lad, but... Well, the thing is, it's Emmett's

birthday.

Oh, you're going to the party as well, then?

She's having a party?

Why didn't you tell me?

At that age, isn't she?

Like to do their own thing.

You should really think about yourself for a change.

Text me your number.

Where have you been?

Mum needed me, sir.

Take a seat.

Rihanna, do you mind? We're trying to watch a film.

But Miss Donegan wants it bagged up by tomorrow morning. Well, it'll have to

wait until after the bell.

Are you okay?

Yeah. What's wrong?

I thought you were only kidding about drinking.

Who cares?

Connor, will you stop messing about and concentrate?

What's wrong with you?

I think he might be coming down with something.

Headmaster's office.

Now.

Look at this before you make up your mind. You again, Gerard?

Yeah, I wanted to catch the parents at home time, just to remind them they're

welcome back to Havelock, if you wish.

I can assure you that I pose absolutely no threat to your children. So what's

this? A fashion accessory?

If you're so adamant that I attacked you, then why didn't you go to the

What's the point?

You just wriggle off the hook like you did the last time.

All right, Mikey.

Jared Finlay's a fraud.

There's nothing the wrong way, Zern.

I have a slight sprain.

The doctor said I should wear this as a precaution.

The barman told me he hit his head on the table trying to swing for my son.

It doesn't change the fact he nearly killed you, though, does it?

Once a thug, always a thug.

My name's William Byrne.

I'm Michael's father.

And it's true that you put me in hospital.

But that was a long time ago.

I was in intensive care for three days.

I deserved every punch and every kick.

I don't know about you, but I reckon you reap what you sow.

An eye for an eye, that's what you get.

That's what you get for being a wife -beater.

And I never pressed charges because I knew my family had suffered enough

already.

He's still got a violent streak as white as the M8.

I'd quit while I was ahead if I were you.

I don't need his help.

You're the bigger man now.

Imogen! Imogen!

Imogen!

Why aren't you wearing your hearing aid?

I don't need them.

I like the solitude.

I'm fine with being deaf.

What do all your friends think about it?

If you're so cool with it, why are you hiding it from them?

What is it with you and this place?

Can't you keep away?

I only came back to offer you a lift.

No, thanks. I thought I could help you get ready for tonight.

Why? You want to look nice, don't you? I could at least do your hair or

something, spend a bit of girly time together. You stop cowding me.

Hi.

It's me.

Do you still fancy that dress?

Come in.

Christine, have a seat.

Thank you.

Well, it looks like Connor may have been drinking.

What? A bottle of vodka.

In glass.

I should have... I should have said something before, but I took Audrey's

advice. Audrey?

We found another bottle of vodka in my classroom.

Connor admitted it was his for some party.

Audrey thought we should deal with it ourselves, but... Well, obviously, that

hasn't worked.

I've tried reasoning with him, but he won't listen.

He's such a big lad, he...

Does he hate you?

No.

But he scares me.

Imagine that.

Scared of your own son.

You come?

Your mother's been telling me what's happening.

How long have you been drinking?

Is that what she told you?

Well?

I bought it for a party tonight.

What party?

I went to the schoolhouse.

Imogen's birthday.

I had you the short straw to go and get it.

Right, I'll need the address of the off -license.

I don't remember.

All office looks came to me.

You're in detention for the rest of the week.

And in the meantime, get yourself home and sober up a little bit. And you can

forget about the party. You are grounded until further notice.

Can I go now?

I am so sorry.

I just really don't know what to do with him, Michael.

Cheers, boys.

Doors open round the side.

Well, you changed your mind.

Yeah, maybe I was a bit rash.

My way of an apology.

What, to the students or to me? Take your pick.

And there are thick... Yeah, after -school kayaking club. I reckon Tarek's

to need some company.

Yeah, and I reckon the kids' money went a lot further than we thought. I might

have topped it up a bit.

I don't get you.

You won't pay for a boiler and then you splurge... Kayaks are fun. Now, listen,

I've put the table for dinner.

Sian, you come in.

Um...

I think I might give it a miss tonight.

See you later.

Michael.

Don't you think you'd at least do your dad a thank you?

I don't owe him anything.

There you go.

There you go.

Come on, everybody.

Dig in.

Did you make them?

Dry run for the wedding?

Right, this is your lot. That's all we've got in the freezer.

Oh, sorry, I didn't realise that I saw my vehicle.

Still no sign?

You have a stag do, Mr B?

At least you know where to find your stripper.

You'd better not.

Fear not.

The night before my nuptials shall be a sedative affair.

You're going to save all your energy for the big night, are you, sir?

You make me sick looking.

I thought you weren't coming.

Wouldn't have messed up for the world.

You're sobered up then?

Yeah.

Oh, they're obviously in love.

It's so sweet.

Old people having sex should be a law against it.

Don't you seem to bother God?

Wait, let's see anyway.

What?

He's always on at me.

I wasn't the one who walked out on us for someone else.

I didn't touch his side.

What do you think?

Do you think he's jealous?

I don't know.

I'd love a mum like you.

All I want is for us to be friends.

Is that so much to ask?

Is it?

I mean... Do I seem like a bad person to you?

I think you'll love it.

You're right.

You realise I'll be the laughing stock?

Anyone who laughs will have to deal with me.

So speak.

But, are you about coming?

No. It's just... What?

What is it?

I'm sorry it's not the full Monty, but it's the best I could do in the

circumstances.

Blow it out. Only if you promise not to sing happy birthday.

Did you make a wish?

Yeah.

What was it?

If I tell you, it won't come true.

Here's the birthday girl then.

Get off.

And who's this?

My mum.

Oh, get a corkscrew.

You got a corkscrew?

Hold her there.

She wanted to pop in.

It's not yet over yet.

Hey, my sister.

Connor, isn't it? I don't mean to be rude, but would you mind leaving?

Imogen doesn't want you here.

She won't even talk to me now.

My own daughter.

What's your problem?

She's not doing any harm.

It's Imogen's party.

And she's with me.

So back off.

Don't worry about it.

You don't deserve to be spoken to like that.

Now who's that drunk?

We'll be back in a sec.

Who's me?

My room.

In my bed.

Get lost.

There, to the right. It's the one right in front of you, OK?

Where will we?

Can you see anything to someone or here?

Anything. Is that true?

Grabby, you need to get the lady in red to leave.

Why? Why me?

It's bad enough having to wait on them hand, foot and finger.

Can't you see the poor lad?

Your mum gate -crashing your own party?

Well embarrassing.

Imogen should have invited her. The Bible says we must respect our elders.

Do you always do what your mum says?

Of course.

That's what makes her believe in you.

So what's she like then?

Strict.

Funny.

Always laughing, even when things aren't funny.

Especially when things are not funny.

What do you mean?

She makes good out of bad situations.

I love her very much.

Did I mention strict?

That bad?

I've got something of yours.

My French homework.

Would you again return?

That ain't very charitable.

Charity is for those who deserve it.

I haven't got any money.

I don't want money.

What do you want, then?

A cultural attache.

What's one of those when they're at home? Someone who can teach me about the

British culture.

TV, music, fashion.

You want me to teach you about fashion?

On second thought, so out of the three, it's in bed.

I hope so.

You can relax now. The main thing is she's gone.

I suppose.

So, what were you going to tell me earlier?

Do you really like me?

I mean, you're not just saying it.

You're amazing.

I feel like I can be myself writing June the lies and the secrets.

Look, if you're not interested, just say it.

Dead. Does it matter?

Slow down.

It's not me.

Just so fair. I've got an amazing body.

See you.

Hello.

Richmond Mulgrew.

Who are we now?

Bye. Do you want another drink?

Define where you are.

You, home now.

Bye. What's he done?

Well, he's supposed to be grounded.

Are you trying to get me into trouble?

See you tomorrow.

Oh, Imogen, I thought your mum had gone home.

She has.

Well, it was that old hag giving Gus a biology lesson in Phoenix's room.

I guess that's that turn I've gone then.

What?

Wait, wait.

There's something digging into my bag.

Oh, it's Phoenix's alarm clock.

you're doing. He's a kid. He's 18.

He had a bet on. Bet his mates he could go all the way. Sex for money. Do you

know what that makes you?

Are you on?

I've come to apologise.

I thought Michael would be a little more gracious.

Yeah, don't worry about it.

I didn't get my hopes up.

Can I get you a dram?

No, thank you. I'm driving.

Never mind then.

I don't get many visitors.

Certainly none as pretty as you. I'm sorry. I really thought he'd change his

mind.

I hope Mikey realises what a good friend you are to him.

Are you OK?

Sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I just want... What?

To be safe.

Be there for you. Not again.

I had meningitis as a kid.

She totally missed the signs. It was my fault.

It happened.

It's done. I'm fine.

Does it mean you have to keep looking over my shoulder every five minutes?

All I want is to be part of your life.

No, you don't.

You want my life.

But you've had your turn.

If you two promise not to kill each other, I'll be down to death.

So I'm consigned to the scrap heap, am I?

I've given birth to you, served my purpose.

Game over.

Your dad's already treated me in for a younger model. He left us four years

Mum. Four years.

What do I get?

Four years of you breathing down my neck, constantly looking over my

It's like living with two shadows.

I can't take it anymore.

I've only tried to do what's best for you. What?

Hiding my deafness like some dirty little secret. But people treat you

differently when... when you're disabled.

It's nothing to do with it.

You're ashamed because you think it was your fault.

You make me feel ashamed.

I'm not having it anymore.

I'm sorry.

Let's just go.

Here's to no more nasty surprises.

I reckon that.

A toast to the victor that spoils.

Spoke to you soon?

It's OK. I invited him.

Well, this is cosy. Mr Finlay.

Sit down. Have a glass of wine.

I'll not be staying long.

Look, this doesn't need to be a war.

Don't you think it's time we worked together?

Joint drama productions, debating competitions, sports, you name it.

You're unbelievable.

Offers on the table.

Yeah.

I'll think about it.

You are such a soft touch.

Says she. How many canoes did you buy?

Perhaps another?

No, better not.

I think I'll head back to the office.

Start laying out some ideas for Findlay to look at. Now? Yeah. No time like the

present. Do you ever switch off?

Do you?

We're part of Grounded, don't you understand?

I'd be very careful if I were you.

We'd want Mr. Byrne finding out your secret now, would you?

I mean, listen to a word you say.

Turns out you did me a massive favour today.

He thinks you're nothing but trouble.

Good going, son.

Cheers.

Liberty? I guess.

You here for the competition?

You have crushed that girl's self -esteem. You're trying to settle some

score because I didn't want you teaching at my school.

Well, I'm warning you.

Stay out of my face or I will make your life a living hell.

Please.

Please, Dave.

I'm not saying we can't do it again.

Just, there's got to be someone.

Her hair touched so much the hair in her head.

Please, let me go.

You have to call the paper and tell them you were wrong.

Mum.
