Original subtitles

I love thee with the breath of tears of all my life.

I mean every word.

You two made it up, then?

Yeah. Thanks for the help.

Glad I got help.

Well, you've been busy today, sorting out everyone's kids for them.

What would I have known?

Not being a parent myself.

I'm dying.

I buried you a long time ago, Dad.

Here I am.

Surprised or what?

Mine.

Mum. Mum, it's Cora. Mum. What

are

you lot up to?

Suffocating.

Me.

Why are you doing this?

I don't have that sort of money, Trevor. You know I don't.

Everything all right, miss?

Yeah, yeah, couldn't be better.

You just go and get your breakfast.

Who's that, of course?

What's going on, love? No, I've just got a lot on my mind, that's all.

I'm starving.

But I can't do everything, can I? Why didn't you come and get me? I could have

sorted this. The wedding arrangements have been getting on top of us, which is

why I've been thinking I want to call the wedding off.

What? Why?

Well, it's all just getting a bit too much, isn't it?

All the organising and the planning and striving is all mad.

You're not wrong. Shut it!

What are you saying exactly?

Just keep it simple, you know, small.

None of this fuss.

And expense.

I thought that's what you wanted.

Not really.

I see.

So you don't want to marry me anymore?

Of course I do.

Just not now.

Some other time. In the holidays.

Yeah, just keep it simple, like.

Why didn't you say so in the first place, you daft apeth? I've made

arrangements.

Erm, so is the wedding off, then? Perspond.

Which means you lot can get to school.

Sharpish. But what about breakfast? Out!

What's going on?

What are you doing?

Checking the car history.

Maggie ran the phone from them earlier.

Why are you even bothered?

Because you're in trouble.

I just know it.

Hey, you're right, Sean, you dirty stop -out. It's me again.

Maddy. Do you remember Home Alone Coop?

Call me, yeah?

Oh, my God.

Oh, no, Mr... What did you do?

Give it to me!

What do you think you're doing? Keep your grubby hand off my duck!

Just leave me!

Get lost!

Driver!

Out of the way, ripped hunk of a man coming through, aren't we?

Got a look fly from the Girl of Liberty, now that we're writing them that.

What, you fly?

Joshua.

What? Like that? Just because you're not my type? Oh, I'm not your type? Oh, I

am gutted, so tell me, is it the fact that I'm a man?

Or the fact that I'm a man? They say you've got a problem with a bit of both,

be honest. I'm not any more than signed off on a shrink.

Serious? You're cured?

No, mate.

I've got schizophrenia, it's not something you just get over, but I don't

to fear every week, so I'm just really the best.

First day of the rest of my life, and I can't wait.

My dad's going to be made up, you know.

Still not doing it for me, though.

Well, about time.

Got a new fella, then?

What makes you think I've got a new fella?

Well, you've been out all night. You didn't answer my calls.

Same clothes.

Must be a guy.

Well, if you must know, Miss Markle, I went for a drink with Lorraine and then

decided to stay over.

Was that all right with you, Mumsy?

Good.

What's all this?

Oh, it's the rest of my stuff.

Guess you're stuck with me now.

Right. That is OK, isn't it? Well, it's just, you didn't let me know these were

coming. You can't just assume that you can land this kind of thing on me. I

didn't know.

Right, OK.

Look, we haven't got time to talk about it now, but we will later, OK?

Definitely Glasgow, as long as I can get him to agree.

Well, why don't you aim a little higher?

Oxbridge.

It's a bit far, isn't it?

What's this?

Auditions for the X Factor?

University applications.

It's what the kids decided.

They do, but we try to steer them in the right direction.

Like cattle, you mean?

Obviously not.

Good. Which is why today's work experience initiative will be a great

opportunity. Introducing to my world.

Although I won't be leading it. My headman Ray's going to step in and work

magic on them. Oh, what a shame. They won't get to hear it directly from you.

They don't need to.

Good business is all about delegation.

Well, at least it'll give some of them an idea of the options that are open to

them. Yeah, like earning money instead of getting into serious debt.

There's more to higher education than debt.

Cold baked beans and binge drinking spring to mind.

Hey, Zachy. It's me.

Say thanks to Mum for the stuff, will you?

Nice touch sending them up in a couple of crummy boxes.

Brilliant.

What did I do, mate?

Call me, yeah?

Cheer up. It might never happen.

Mind you, back in the day, I always had a face like a smacked half, too.

Not when you've got a face like a smacked half.

It's why I just cheer up.

It's just that school and me were never really a good match, if you know what I

mean.

It gives me the shivers.

I feel like I'm 12 again.

I'm surprised you can remember that far back.

Oi! It's only what... Yeah, fair enough.

So what are you doing here, then?

I'm here to do some training for work experience at Lorraine.

Mick Donegan called Penta. Wicked.

Well, that's off your 13.

Lucky for us.

We'll see.

I would show you in, but I've got a bit of leave inside.

Go on, I'll give you a hand.

Nice one.

This one's a bit heavy. Can you manage?

Yeah.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for uni.

I just love winding Michael up.

Don't we all?

Sian, talk some sense, will you?

Lorraine's plugging life experience over higher education.

Well, I couldn't agree more.

I'm also getting out into the big bad world.

Well, you've been in education all your life.

Yeah, I know, and look where it's got me.

From school to uni and back again.

I think maybe I should have sucked the marrow out of life a bit more. That's

all. That's brought all this on.

Or rather who?

Am I missing something? Never you mind.

You just concentrate on Josh and Oxbridge. Josh isn't Oxbridge material.

I don't know. I think I'm just missing Denise and Cheryl.

Don't feel sorry for yourself.

Do you feel me to take your mind off them?

Well, I was thinking they may be fostering.

Excellent idea.

You don't think I make a pig's ear of it?

Daniel, as Tarek's so fond of saying, you need to grow a man. Hey, how are the

impending nuptials coming along?

They're not, if you must know.

Margaret's called it off with a ton of quiet do during the holidays.

Why did you change your mind? Oh, I think it's better not to try to fathom

depths of the female psyche, don't you? Because that's so much easier than the

male psyche trying to figure out what it did wrong. I did nothing wrong. Apart

from as far as I can see moan and groan and grumble and chunter about cost,

about organisation, about Maggie. She probably thinks you don't want her.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Well, Professor Einstein, maybe you need to prove that.

I'll do it today.

Today? Yeah, you're right. The sooner I can sweep Margaret off her feet, the

sooner we can settle into a state of blissful marriage stagnation.

Don't tell her. Let's keep it as a secret.

I have decided to apply for uni.

That'll be out your way, too.

Good.

Excellent.

I mean, I think that is a really positive step.

Spread your wings.

Get your independence.

Meaning you want me out of your hair, right?

No, meaning I think it'll open up a whole new world of opportunities for

mean, I went to uni and it was the making of me.

Why don't we talk about this later?

All right, good.

Inside, young lady.

I'll see you again. Seriously?

What are you doing here?

Opening young minds to the world of work.

Why didn't you just tell me?

I wanted to surprise you.

How about lunch?

I would love to.

Good.

Leave it with me.

Not here.

Just try stopping me.

Oh, now, now, you two. Leave it out.

Work to do, Mr Keats.

Exploiting child labour.

Can't wait.

Get in before I sack you.

Well, come on then. How's it going?

Yeah, it's early days, but I think he's good for me.

Thank you for introducing us. Hey, no problem.

As long as you don't take his mind off the important stuff, like work.

Right, here we go.

Morning!

Oh, OK.

So this is what the future looks like, is it?

Where is your get up and go?

Got up and gone.

There is a whole wide world out there waiting to be conquered.

So who's going to do it?

Carpe diem. Yeah, it's probably the day when you're a multimillionaire, though,

isn't it?

It's all true.

How old are you lot?

17, yeah?

OK, so by your age, I'd already set up my own business, which I started in a

school playground at 14.

A bit like that one out there, selling mobile phone charms.

No university for me.

I saw a gap in the market and I worked my way up from phone accessories to a

fully -fledged telecommunications business.

And part of that is the call centre some of you are going to be working in this

afternoon. So what are we selling then?

Nothing.

You are going to help people give.

Right.

Stress Less Giving is a gift -giving service.

People phone in and you help them decide what gifts to buy.

Really?

Can't wait.

Good. Ray is my right -hand man.

Ow!

Don't be fooled by the clowning around.

What Ray doesn't know about selling is not worth knowing.

When do we start?

Not like when do we finish.

Hmm.

Josh, another word.

Ooh, naughty, naughty.

OK, so, this morning, we'll workshop some useful techniques, and this

we go live for some hands -on experience.

Wouldn't mind a bit of a hand -on experience with him.

Come on, Mads, he's here to teach.

Plus, he's old enough to be your dad.

Oh, I like older men.

Trust me, you'll be at your dad's witness.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Look, I believe in calling a spade a spade.

So tell me, is your problem the workshop, the business, or me?

It's got that on your mind?

Like what?

Josh is having a bit of a wobble about uni, that's all.

Yeah, I can speak for myself, thanks, Dad.

They've got a tongue in my head, you know.

OK.

Let's hear it.

All right, well, I just want to start my future.

I've got loads to think about, which is cool, but I'm just not sure that

spending the day in some poxy call centre is going to help that.

It's sold a bit late in the day. No, it isn't.

Not for me.

Maybe that's just because I'm a bit slow, you know.

I'm not exactly Oxbridge material, am I?

Yeah.

Got it here as well.

I heard what you said, Dad.

Maybe I'll leave you two to it.

So what, am I not good enough? Is that it?

I can't believe you didn't say that.

You know I've only ever got your best interests at heart.

Yeah.

I thought you didn't want to go to university anyway, but suddenly it's

No, that's not the point, is it?

The point is, stop trying to make decisions for me.

You're breathing down my neck all the time. I can't stand it.

You all right, Tom?

Yeah, he's just confused.

Well, maybe it isn't all about him.

Meaning what?

She's got absolutely nothing to do with you not wanting him to leave home.

I don't know what you mean.

The thought of him not being at home, it's like losing a limb.

Lots of fathers get used to it.

I don't think they do.

Fathers or mothers, I think they must just fake it.

Did you want me for something?

Actually, if I need to go out later, will you cover for me?

Yeah.

Does he keep trouble?

No, I don't think so.

He's got spirit, but I like that.

Someone who questions things.

Test him, yeah?

See what he's made of.

Deal.

No offence, bro, but I ain't selling something I don't believe in, right?

Good for you. So whatever bling you try to fob people off with, best be quality,

yeah? It is.

Whatever people want to buy, we point them in the right direction.

So where did the money come from?

Oh, come on.

It's not rocket science, lad.

Basically, they have a database listing stock from hundreds and hundreds of

companies. Enough to direct people to the most competitively priced.

So that even when a commission is added on for them to cream off the top, it's

still cheaper for the punter than buying on the high street.

I hope you're going to be this confident on the phones.

If selected.

Uh, where are you going?

Playground. Not in the real world, Lord Sugar.

What's the matter, Tarek? No stamina?

This is slave labor. Besides, we're about to do some role play.

More like it.

Mm -hmm.

It's about Maggie.

Ms. Croft to you?

Just, we think there's a reason she cancelled the wedding.

Oh, well done, Einstein.

We're trying to do you a favour here.

Is that right?

By telling me it's my fault, presumably? No, by telling you there's someone

else.

Some bloke, Trevor. Look, we've got his number.

She rang the phone to him this morning and then she changed her mind about the

wedding. Maybe she's going to dump you at the altar.

Get out.

Come on, sir. She's been wedding mad all week and then all of a sudden she

changes her tune.

Get out now.

But it doesn't make sense.

And who's this Trevor when he's at home? Get out!

Give.

My name's Budgin, Grantley Budgin. I believe that you've been in contact with

my fiancée, Margaret Croft.

All right, I'll see you then.

I want to buy something for my boyfriend.

What do you like?

Is he into his wheels?

Oh, what's his poison?

You know what I mean. Then again, what, do you get a man who has everything?

No, no, no, you can't flirt.

You're telling me you can.

Let me try.

No, we don't want the phones to melt there, do we?

OK,

fella, your turn.

You know what?

I'll take this one. I'll do the practice myself.

Um, I need to buy a really nice present for my mum because I love her to bits.

Okay, and what kind of gift are you looking for?

I don't know. Uh, she likes anything.

Everything. What do you think? What would you buy your mum?

Me? Uh... Okay, Josh, she just lost us a fail. What? No, I haven't. Yes, you

have. Mum waiting in line while this mug's still making his mind up.

Don't waste time.

Okay, who's next? Uh, you two. Come on down.

Trying hard to breathe.

Head between my... Everything okay, love?

Tickety -boo. Just tickety -boo.

That's it on.

About the wedding.

Is there anything that you want to tell me?

I mean, sooner rather than later.

Well, I snore a little bit, but you already know that, don't you?

Nothing else.

No, why?

No matter.

I love you.

Who's ready for action?

Good. And who'd rather stay here?

Depends. What's going on with the dough?

Because I ain't no slave, you know. Yeah, don't worry. If you make a sale,

get commission.

Right. Count me in.

Right. So, go to a stand, get back to class, and the rest of you behave and

fun. I'll see you when you get back.

All right. Good luck.

Kim, you're not going?

I have two university degrees, you know.

Really? Yeah.

Honorary ones.

You get rich, make a name for yourself. They add them out like leaflets.

Why don't you go?

Everyone seems to think they know what's best for me.

My dad, teachers, doctors, blah, blah, blah.

Do you know what?

I've always done what I think's right for me.

Trust me, Josh.

Sometimes you've just got to follow your gut.

OK.

OK, I'll do it.

Sir? What?

I don't get this Othello stuff. I really don't.

I mean, is Iago supposed to be his friend or not?

Triangles, Brianna. It's all about triangles.

That's maths, isn't it?

Love triangles, the green -eyed monster.

You see, Othello trusts his beloved unless there is ocular proof to the

contrary. Oh, you've lost me now.

Right, look, just carry on reading. I won't be back presently.

He's off to bed.

There's only one way to find out.

So are you attached, then?

Depends on who's asking.

All right.

Oh, well, in that case... Whoa, please.

Now, I'm not gay or married.

Could be attached.

Is that better cover it?

I suppose.

Hey, Zachy boy.

Yeah, I'm OK.

So what is Mum playing at?

You are?

So what, she packed my stuff off so she could move him in?

But there's only no room for two mums.

How's it going?

Yeah, good.

She's a bit of a handful, though.

Just one of the many demanding teenagers we have to look after here.

Right. Look here, I don't know who you are or what this is about, but do I have

a rival for Margaret's affections? Is it pistols at dawn?

Is that it? Are you her secret beau?

Not exactly.

I'm a husband.

No, no, I'm fine.

What do I care anyway?

I've got to go, mate.

I've got to go. Bye.

Hey. What's up? Are you okay?

No.

Life sucks.

Oh.

Not on chestnut.

You know, the trick is to pretend that it doesn't.

That's what I do.

And I reckon you're like me.

So come on.

Where's that smile?

Whatever it is, from what I've seen, you're a tough cookie. You'll come

back.

Really? You think so?

I know so.

Thanks.

Hey, whoa, hang on, hang on.

I still get carried away, huh?

What? I thought you liked me.

You're lost, mate.

We've been married for 15 years.

I see.

Do you still love her? Love her?

Of course not.

It's just a bit of fun that backfired.

We haven't seen each other in years.

Then why are you here?

Because I can give her something that no other man can.

My signature.

On the divorce papers.

She was never bothered about getting divorced before.

She is now.

For some reason.

Some sign.

Ah.

You see, um... That's going to cost you.

Oh, blackmail.

No, no, no. Peer back.

She made a fool out of me.

Go on, then. How much do you want?

Leech.

£3 ,000.

I haven't got that kind of money.

So I've been told.

Shame.

Nice time of year for a wedding.

Wait.

If I pay, will you sign, go for good?

Yeah.

Give me an hour.

Thank you.

Come on, guys.

Okay, man.

Get quiet on the bus.

Mum's moved her boyfriend Gary in.

They're going home now.

What?

So you get on with him?

Just don't let him get to you, man.

Cool that we're staying with you anyway, aren't you?

So, here we are.

What's the big deal?

Just a room with a bunch of headsets.

Appearance isn't everything.

I think it's got a good vibe anyway.

I like the feel of the place. Good, because this is the land of opportunity.

What do you think is going to happen to Maggie then, if she's already married?

If she ends up marrying the Gudgeon?

Prison.

So what are we going to do?

You're going to have to follow the Gudgeon.

And what about this evening?

I think I've done that.

Remember, at the end of the phone, someone needs your help.

What are we selling?

All kinds of tap, by the look of it.

Oh, come on, think.

We're selling generosity.

Heart, soul and passion.

Let's see if we can get some calls now before lunch.

Who's first?

Hi, welcome to Strathclyde's Giving.

My name's Liberty. What can I do for you today?

Yo, what are you needing, bro?

Perhaps I could interest you in a couple of our options.

Okay, 25th. That's a double anniversary, right?

Okay, so why don't we go with the silver theme for the bouquet and a nice trendy

hand tie to keep things modern.

Excellent.

Okay. You've given up on the man, haven't you?

It's plain hard to get.

Let me know how that goes.

Yes, um, could I get your address, please?

So that's 120 Edgeway Road.

Oh, that's...

If you did a mistake, you might be careful, will you?

Some of us are working our fingers to the bone here.

Come on, come. Thanks straight for you crashing the boat.

Do you mind if I join you?

What's going on with you?

Someone here says you called for that week. Excuse me?

Who the hell is saying that?

What are you looking at me for?

No, no, not you, sir. Someone here posted it online.

Just be quiet, will you?

It wasn't you, was it? As is.

Do you know why you're dead? Just back off, yeah?

I'm just saying, apparently, I'm not the one who killed her. What, is that

great? Is it great on you?

Yeah, right.

Just a little bit.

Well out of order.

Cut the chat, you lot.

Work to be done.

Now, I've got to love you and leave you.

Come on, this is the real world.

You can manage without your boss for an hour or so.

Besides, I've got a meeting to go to.

Don't let me down.

It's your big moment, Josh.

He's a sweet man. He's going to tell my dad.

No, don't do that.

He'll just make a big deal out of it.

Tell Miss Diamond then. She's next to John again.

We'll get what's coming for him.

Me and Con haven't seen much of each other recently.

So we've been texting about maybe doing something at the weekend.

Have you now?

Good for you.

Yeah, and I was thinking, do you want to join us?

Me? I thought we might see a play or something.

Why would I want to go and see a play?

You are an English teacher.

Well, I know that.

But why would you want to do that?

Yeah.

Table for Keith.

Thank you.

Thank you. If you don't mind, I booked a fin earlier.

Oh, this is great. And I'm used to the school canteen, so... Thank you.

That's no need. I've already ordered your favourite.

You remembered.

And the wine.

Chablis on its way. Oh, I really shouldn't. I'm teaching later, so... Or

one won't hurt.

Is this OK?

It's great.

Thank you.

It's work.

I should probably get this.

Hi. Hey, Sian, it's me.

Are you OK?

Sort of.

I think I really messed up. Can you come meet me?

Um, I'm kind of in the middle of something right now.

Could we deal with it after school? Maybe when we're sorting out your stuff?

Don't mind me. I've got all day.

Who's that?

Where are you?

Um, canteen?

Call this a canteen.

It's not like you're in a canteen.

Who are you with?

Tom. Who's Tom? Listen, I should really go.

All right, OK.

Cool. OK, all right.

I could really get used to this.

Sometimes I feel like I've just spent my whole life in school.

Oh, come on, you've lived.

You've been married?

Yeah, to a P .E. teacher.

He hardly broadened my horizons.

Why didn't you have kids?

He had two already.

You still in touch with him?

Mm -hmm.

What about you?

You've got a way about you.

You're...

Vaguely presentable.

Please stop with the compliments.

How come there's no Mrs. Geek?

Timing's never been right, I guess.

But, you never know.

I'm getting tired of living on my own.

How do you find it?

Me?

It's fine.

I love it, actually, having my own space. I guess that's why I haven't had

around yet.

Really?

I'm upset for meeting you after working for you, everyone.

Deal. Look, um... I'm sorry about earlier.

Passing on coming out with you guys. It was good of you to ask.

It's fine.

You just caught me by surprise.

And, um... Oh, well.

Me and Connor... Well, me in particular... have had

one or two difficulties recently.

It's awkward for me.

But never mind. No, no, it's OK.

I understand.

Do you?

Understand? What is it?

Connor told me.

About?

About your... drink problem.

I'm sorry, what drink problem? I was talking about being a single mum. What

earth are you talking about? Is that what you said, Connor?

Yeah. You're talking nonsense.

Complete nonsense. I've never heard anything so ridiculous in my life.

You probably said I went and scratched his face as well, didn't you? No, I

didn't, actually.

Why? Did you? Of course not. What are you taking me for?

I'm not sure.

What do you know?

No, that's fine. My pleasure.

OK. Bye -bye.

You're starting to annoy me, bro.

You OK, Maddy?

Not really.

Just ignore him. He's an idiot.

You've been having a meal on him, too.

Well, at least he didn't find it to get turned on.

Hey, B, how did you get on?

A few years on it this afternoon, shall we?

Relief and conviction, Josh, yeah?

Nice lunch by the smell of it.

Perk of the job. What did you have, mutton dressed as lamb?

Enough of your lip. Thank you.

Wasn't earlier by all accounts.

What did you say?

There you are this morning, giving it a big I am.

You make a move on Maddy, you leave us to it, and you go off boozing. And then

you've been pressurising me all day, so what are you?

Some sort of bully.

Easy, Josh.

That's enough, OK?

Yeah, too right it is.

If this is the professional workplace, you can shove it.

If we behaved like you, it still would be excluded.

You just made a very serious accusation.

You want to take it back?

No. Why would I?

Because it's a load of rubbish, that's why. You're right.

Ask him. He saw what happened.

Go on, ask him.

I was right, Josh.

Maddy jumped in, not the other way around.

Apology accepted, kid.

You know you're making the biggest mistake of your life, don't you?

It's only money. I didn't mean the money.

I know what you meant.

Come back here.

Are you all right? No, where's the envelope? What do you let go of it for?

I thought you'd taken it. No, look, they've got me money. Quick, do

Call the police. No, come on. They must be your pupils. They most certainly are

not my pupils.

Waterloo Road does not house hoodies, thank you very much. Well, can you be so

sure? Because I know every single one of them like the hairs on the back of my

hand. It was a local scum followed me back from the bank. Well, I'm going to

ring 999.

What's here? What? To say that those hoodlums have taken every last penny I

What, are you going to tell me you're doing back... here with an envelope full

of cash. What?

We will just have to explain.

That's not going to sound good, is it?

That's going to sound like... Right now?

And what do I care if you get arrested?

What about Maggie, eh?

Eh? What if it becomes public knowledge that she got married to you while she

was still married to me, eh?

That's not going to sound too good, is it?

Look, you were losing that money anyway, so... let's just forget the whole

thing. What, I'll call it quits, OK? Yeah, but I'm going to need that

back. Oh, I don't think so, no.

No, no, no. It ends here.

Go.

All right.

Gratitude. Yes!

Josh, listen to me. Leave it.

Hey, welcome back, guys.

So, how did it go?

Had its moments, but with a disaster.

Disaster?

Why, what happened?

I just flipped out.

Only because he was pressurising me all day.

I think I may have overdone it.

Which is a shame, because you were by far the best at it.

Relaxed, natural, generous.

So I was right then?

About what?

I asked Ray to give you a tough time because I thought you showed promise.

What? He was playing me.

Do you always jump to the wrong conclusions?

I think you've got a future.

I wanted Ray to test your mettle.

OK, then.

Sorry. Lorraine saw something in you.

You could go far. You'd just get rid of the chip on your shoulder.

Where'd you get that from, anyway?

Right, come on, you lot.

Library, now.

Final chance to go over your applications.

Now, please, Josh.

Who's there? Me.

The prodigal returns.

Twice in as many weeks.

I must be home.

I'd think you'd darken my door again.

To what do I owe the pleasure?

I miss your mum too.

What?

I shouldn't miss my wife? You made her life hell.

You're only remembering the bad times.

I should go.

Take it.

None of it was her fault. You know that, don't you?

She wanted to take you away with her, but I wouldn't let her.

She loved you.

We're both dead.

Hello, my love.

It's all right.

I know everything.

I met your husband.

I wanted to tell you.

I just couldn't.

It was such a long time ago and I tried to pretend like it never happened.

But then we started planning the wedding and I got back into it with him and I

asked him for a divorce.

But he wouldn't.

I know. I paid him.

We don't have enough money.

Fleur left me, son.

She'd have approved.

Are you done for the day?

Yeah. Well, let's get married.

But we can't. Not officially, anyway.

Oh, who cares about the paperwork?

We could do the nuptials and sort out the legal stuff later.

I'll talk to your doctor.

Organise a nurse to look after you. Do I see you?

I did wrong, son.

I don't want to hear it. I'm saying sorry.

I'm saying it doesn't change a thing. You are no saint.

Take it.

Thank you very much.

And last but not least... How did you get on in the big, bad world?

Who makes feelings about it, really?

See, that's because you're not ready.

Turns out maybe I was, I just didn't realise it.

Yeah, well, never mind.

Have you got your application and personal statement done?

I have.

But I'm not going, Dad.

All right.

Look,

I've been thinking about it as well.

Forget Glasgow.

What about Heriot -Watt? Look, Edinburgh's not that far. No, no, no,

going at all.

It's time for me to strike out on my own. Come on, Josh, don't do this. I've

made my mind up.

You're not well enough.

Says who?

The psychiatrist says I am. Lorraine says I am. The only person saying

is you. Because I'm your dad.

Because I know you. Because I know how you work.

But maybe that's just the problem.

You're on my case, over my shoulder all the time, worrying.

I went out today and I screwed up.

Totally.

But that is how I'm going to learn.

What if you have a relapse?

You can't always be there to catch me.

Why not?

I'm 18 years old, Dad.

He's gonna have to let me go.

I'm a little bit busy right now, Maddy. Yeah, I've been busy all day, haven't

you? I am allowed to have a life outside of this school, thank you.

So I'm supposed to get all this stuff from the boss?

I'll give you some money and I'll help you load it into a taxi, OK?

All right.

They should probably have been.

Ladies and gentlemen, raise your glasses high for Grantley and Maggie.

Here comes trouble.

I just wanted to say sorry for what happened earlier.

What I did was, um, stupid.

So we agree on something, then?

Mm -hmm.

Can we at least be friends?

Yeah, whatever. I'm leaving in a minute anyway.

Can you help me with my boxes before you go?

Really? No funny business, honest.

I'm waiting for someone.

Sorry. Okay.

I'll do it by myself.

Okay, hang on, hang on.

The law of the seas gang dry, my dear, and the rocks melt with the sun.

And I will love thee still, my dear, while the sands of life shall run.

And fare thee well, my only love, and fare thee well a while.

And I will come again, my love, though it's where ten thousand mile.

I just want to do this one at a time.

Careful, William.

Sorry.

Look what you've done.

What is all this stuff, anyway?

Everything I own.

My life packed up.

My mum wanted rid of it.

And me.

I'm sure that's not true. Oh, it is.

She's detoned me, practically.

Sorry.

It's why I acted up earlier.

It's feeling like crap, I guess.

I just feel like everyone hates me.

They don't.

I don't.

What the hell is going on?

You're the teacher. You work it out.

She asked me to help her with the stuff. I didn't know she was going to kick me.

She kicked me. Well, it didn't look like you were putting up much of a fight.

Ray, this is my step -mom.

You said she lived alone.

Yeah, why would you say that?

Are you ashamed of me or something?

He knew I was coming.

Did you know about me and him?

Get out of my sight.

What about my sight? I don't care. Get out.

She came on to me.

And you were powerless to resist.

She's a schoolgirl and you're a grown man and you're supposed to know better.

You didn't even think about me.

It was a mistake.

A mistake.

I'm not some teenager that you can sweet -talk.

Sean, look... This is over.

Listen, Josh, I've got a proposition for you.

I've got a call centre in Manchester.

No more gift -giving, please. No, this one sells computer apps.

It should be right up your street.

You can start next week, if you like.

Are you serious?

I never joke about business.

Today just gets better and better.

You all right, Josh?

You having a good time, are you?

Yeah. I'm fine. What's up, Maddy? Everyone's there for you, aren't they,

Your dad, the teachers.

What about me?

What do you care?

No one bothers about me, do they?

No one gives a damn about me, do they? I hate you. I hate you all.

Call me as quick as you can. It's muddy.

Are you going to have another go at me? I've got every right.

I've just spoken to your mother.

She told me that something went on between you and her boyfriend. Do you

explain?

Maddy, I should have known about that before I let you live with me. So you

could have said no? Yeah, I would have. If I'd known you had issues.

Who are you trying to get back at? Me or your mum?

Have you any idea how dysfunctional it is to try and use sex to get your own

back on someone? It wasn't like that. Grace shouldn't have taken advantage of

you, but you shouldn't have put yourself out there. Why does everyone always

blame it on me?

No, I'm not blaming you.

I'm just saying. You're exactly like my mum. First, she goes ballistic, kicks me

out, moves him in. How do you think that makes me feel?

I love your mum.

to be.

We don't want to move on. You've got a bloody funny way of showing it.

Why didn't you tell Ray about me?

Because I didn't want to scare him off.

Is that what this is about?

I can't promise you anything.

I can't.

We can take it one step at a time if you want to.

So you didn't abscond for the Costa del crime, then?

You thought about it.

Well, I'll count it, you know. No, I will.

What are you going to do with it?

Put it back in your account.

It was for love money, that, wasn't it? And she wouldn't want it rotting in an

account, so if you don't mind, I will book us a honeymoon with it.

A honeymoon?

Mm -hm.

Always fancied Venice, myself.

And I've taken the liberty of discussing it with Michael, and he says we can

abandon ship during the school holidays.

Oh!

Loathe as I am to countenance, physical aggression and violence.

Nice one.

Is Maddy OK?

Time will tell, I guess.

Can you not set me up with anyone feasible, Vince?

He let Maddy make a move on him.

Really?

I'll have a word. Get rid.

I did.

Hang in there, yeah?

Yeah, enjoy it.

Come on, you.

So... Manchester, then.

Don't you give a dog's dad?

Although I'm writing, can't I?

Thanks for sticking with me.

For all the crap.

Any sound of song?

I make you proud.

You already have.

The competition's about unlocking the potential in every pupil.

What? You've all got eyes.

Keep that out of my business.

I'm going to get the results from the doctors today.

Alcoholics aren't known for doing what their doctor says.

I want to lodge a complaint.

Well, that won't be necessary, Christine.

Someone's out to get Sam Hunter next tonight. In a shady world, who can you

trust? From the makers of Spooks, BBC One's brand new original British...
