When were you going to tell us that our futures and the futures of the pupils

were in jeopardy? Why can't we just forget what happened?

You know full well why not. You must be Dale.

He's only focused on one thing. Long distance road cycling.

Our new deputy, Lorna Hutchinson.

Scott. I saw Kenzie.

He said you thought I was a loser.

I'm not rude.

I can't write.

The council wants our land.

If they sell it, then Waterloo Road will cease to exist anyway.

It'll be razed to the ground.

All the way, please.

Thank you. Coming through.

No,

you eat a bit, sir.

Thank you, Darren.

It's just the start of a leaner, meaner,

fuller road.

Morning, sir.

Looking good.

Morning, all.

Oh, that's, uh... That's certainly got the blood pumping.

Pity a few more of the staff didn't set a better example.

Early days.

Old habits die hard.

Thoroughly, if he's not careful.

You've been very generous, Mr Bukhari. Thank you. Oh, my pleasure.

Hopefully they'll catch the back bug here. Come down my shop for one of their

own. Hey, Abdul.

Sir, only gone I got my offer from Edinburgh this morning.

Three -eighths. Hey, that's great. Yeah, I know, thanks. I think I've totally

got it.

Excuse me.

Look, before you start, I just go where the agency sends me and I'm not about to

turn down a week's work.

A week?

You can stay longer if you like.

No, thank you.

We'll just have to be adult about it.

Imagine.

Why Drift Lock Trust Cup Turtle?

New hobby, or did you just crash the car again?

It's our new bike bank.

Keep people fit and active, help combat obesity.

Lorna and I came up with the idea. Oh, yes, you and your new best friend.

Very green, very cosy. It's a good scheme.

You can borrow a bike whenever you want.

That'll be interesting.

And we're rolling out into the local community to remind them how important

is to have it.

Great. Well, good luck with that.

Hey, Mum.

I didn't realise you were coming back. Neither did I. At least someone's

to see me.

Been cycling, then?

Looking like that?

No chance.

I've only just customised this uniform.

Have luck, there's rubbish.

Yeah, but they get better results, though, don't they?

It's not all about results, though, is it? I mean, look at me and Lisa.

Maybe Dweeby was at Waterloo Road or the schoolhouse.

Have luck and not going to want me.

I might just leave and get a job.

That gets better and better every time I see it.

All that fast and furious for me.

And your problem with that is what exactly?

Hey, Scott.

I bet you'd look a proper city in Lycra, wouldn't you? It's not my style. Too

much shaking.

All right, mate?

Need a hand?

It's a pretty nice set of wheels you've got there.

Any chance I could get a legal?

What's your problem?

Right now, you're standing in front of me.

You know what, pal?

You need to get a life.

Oi! Watch and learn, mate. Watch and learn!

Watch and learn!

Come on, chase me.

Come on.

Chase me.

You bust my bike.

You bust my arm.

Well, you've done to, you idiot.

You keep your hair on when it goes down.

Do you even know how much this is worth? What did you do that for? He needs that

bike. I bet he does. I bet he sleeps with it now. Oh, you're not even sorry,

you? I should be sorry, I believe.

All right, enough.

Cooler.

And you can pay to get that fixed.

See you around, boys.

So, have you seen what he's done?

That's bang out of order. Yeah, just because he behaves like an idiot doesn't

mean you have to.

Stay clear.

Hey.

Where's he going?

Good.

Really?

Doesn't seem like it.

I saw you with Dale just now.

Always have to be center of attention, eh?

I was just having a laugh.

It's not my fault Wiggles are blind.

What, like you're so perfect, are you?

No.

Look, what's this about?

The other day?

Sort of.

I thought we were cool.

Hurry up, Bonnie.

I'm fine.

I know you prefer older women anyway.

What did you just say?

Hey!

Come back here!

That's again?

You're a glutton for punishment, aren't you? Tell me about it. At least I get to

see Lorne in an amazing bike van.

Don't get me started on him and his latest pet project.

Does he normally like bikes?

Lorne would take a taxi to the bathroom if he could.

That's the Lorne of influence, then.

What do you make of her?

Young, pretty, well -intentioned.

She annoys me as well.

You, er... You don't think there could be some sort of mutual attraction going

on there, do you? No, definitely not. Someone in a position of authority?

Get involved with a colleague? A young, needy, demanding one at that?

Well, it wouldn't be that stupid.

Danny's going to go mental. This is my best bike.

So I'd take it back to the shop, wouldn't I?

No offence, but it's a bit of a pro job.

May need to go back to the factory.

OK, well, I'll be back at lunchtime if you need any help.

Look, the spokes need a bit of soldering and it's out of alignment, but I reckon

I could fix it.

No. Don't turn your nose up.

Kevin bought a robot and everything.

If anyone can fix it, he can.

And I've got a free period next.

Look, your coach, he doesn't need to know anything about it.

But we'd get her through.

Yeah, that's fine, cos Lenny is going to cover for you.

Okay.

Well, at least it was my place.

Oh, God.

All sounds very ominous to me.

We regret to inform you, your job may be at risk. Well, is it or isn't it?

Creating a super school brings to me an economies of scale.

Morning, everyone.

I know you've all had letters from the LEA. I'm sure you were all worried about

redundancies. We won't know anything until at least the end of term.

And until then, we have to be on our best behaviour.

Well, we have to be at the top of our game. Yes, difficult, I know, when we're

already understaffed.

Don't worry, I'm sure your second chances will have burned the place down

time Havelock get their hands on it. With respect, Havelock really is an

excellent school. Emerging even less is... As you can see, and here we have

Fitzgerald with us again this week.

I'm sure you'll all help me in making her feel welcome.

We should utilise the PTA. Get the parents on side, flying the flag for the

school. We don't currently have a PTA.

Really? Why not? They're vital.

No, it's a great idea. We should get on it as soon as possible. Yes, great.

More work, more tedious meetings.

The parents will be just as much against this merger as we are once they've been

made aware of the negatives. Thanks, Lorna. In the meantime, we have the

of the new community bike bank. We're all hoping it's going to give the school

bit of a boost.

It's going to take more than a bike bank to save our jobs.

Every little helps, George. It ticks all the boxes. It's very good PR. I'm

fairly confident that Havelock doesn't have a bike bank.

Right, at the risk of sounding like a tea towel, please keep calm and carry

I'll keep you all informed of future developments.

Can't see it being left in first out if it did come to redundancy.

You mean the lovely Lorna? Yeah, she certainly is flavour of the month.

I thought of competing against her for my own job.

Sonia, was my ex -wife really the only option the agency could come up with? I

did my best, Mr Fitzgerald, but supply teaching?

They're in short supply at the minute.

So you're playing a cool one?

He never done that.

Most of the girls in this school would kill to get with Scott Fairchild.

And you just, like, whatever.

Yeah, well, like you said the other day, I think I'm worth a bit more than that.

Go, girl.

It should be really helpful.

Just let me know if you need any help uploading text to the worksheet.

Great, they won't re -stop back for me.

Wish I had one ages ago.

Well, I'm still looking into getting you a special tutor, but until then, you'll

be having one -on -one sessions with Mrs Mulgrew.

Why can't you do it?

Mulgrew hates me.

No, she doesn't.

This is small group. He's a very good teacher.

No one else has to know.

Promise.

You have my word?

Okay.

Just remember you're not on your own anymore.

Thanks.

And you've got a lesson to get to.

Fair child, I can barely contain my excitement.

I guess I'll be seeing you in here this morning.

Come with that, please.

You'll focus, yeah?

I wish I could.

Could what?

Go.

You'll focus, yeah? I must go, isn't it?

Gosh.

Beginner's luck, I'd imagine.

It's an exercise on the subjunctive.

requires some independent thought and the application of logic, both of which

concepts I would imagine are somewhat alien to you.

Is that all right?

Now, if I just put a bit of pressure on this...

There we go. Simple as that.

Told you there was nothing to worry about.

Great. Cheers.

Kenzie is going to have men for both of us in the class. We won't be able to

keep this quiet.

It's important we respect the need for privacy while she gets used to things.

Yes, but she really won't be able to understand that her problem, the more

can support her.

Young people can be very cruel.

I do know what young people can be like, thank you.

Put yourself in her shoes.

She's buried this, hidden it away since childhood. She's gone to unbelievable

lengths. That's how ashamed of it she is.

I've given her your word, Christine. Please work with me on this one.

Wow, looks good, isn't you?

Yeah, thanks.

I owe you one. Oh, no worries, ma 'am.

Back to your thing, then?

Not exactly. I'm more of a computer nerd.

But it's nice to get your hands dirty.

Oh, I wish I was a computer nerd. Then I might be able to fix this. Got some

sort of virus.

Keeps eating the hard drive and I can't access my email.

Well, I can give it a look if you like. I've got loads of heavy -duty search and

destroy programmes.

Really? You don't mind?

Yes, it's no problem.

Well, I've got to go. Got to be at Hadlock for ten. Hadlock?

Yeah, I do my GBD classes over there. I love it here.

It's not exactly cutting edge in the technology department, is it?

Okay, time's up.

Can I go now?

Let's see what you've done.

You're entirely stupid, aren't you, Fairchild?

Right, so I can go?

No, I have another exercise for you.

No way.

Do one.

Do one?

You can sound slightly less like a total gibbon.

You call me a monkey, sir?

Because that's racist.

It was your Neanderthal tendencies I was referring to.

I could be mentally scarred by that.

I think you'll get over it.

I could do you for that.

Slander, isn't it?

Could get you into loads of trouble. Are you threatening me?

Let's just call this quits.

I want to go.

I think you're going about this the wrong way. I would wise up if I was you.

that you threatening me now, sir?

Because I could say anything.

It's only me and you in here.

It'd be your word against mine.

Look, I'm warning you.

You want to keep me here, do you?

What are you going to do?

Beat me up with a rolled -up newspaper?

I bet you'd like that, sir.

Right, on your feet. Come on, let's go.

Mr Fitzgerald can sort this one out.

Kevin chopped the bright spark, hasn't he?

Oh, he's a lovely lad.

I know he's not supposed to have favourites, but... He's taken my laptop,

reckons he can fix it.

And he will.

He's dead set on doing computer science in Edinburgh, and he'll be there now.

If he hadn't had a stroke.

A stroke?

Yeah, you'd never know, would you?

He's amazing.

Proper little egghead.

Well, it's a good job he's not relying on rusty old supply teachers like me to

get him through his exams, then.

You talking about Kevin?

We are.

He got a conditional offer from Edinburgh. Three years.

Is that why he goes to Havelock for classes?

Yeah, Von went an exception for him. I think it was a good call.

Well, it's great for Kevin, but what about the other kids? Why should they

out?

Well, I can't see Von sanctioning some sort of... That's exodus.

Especially not now. That would be playing straight into the hands of the

Look, I know nobody here wants this merger, but Havelock really does have

fantastic resources. Don't you think, Audrey?

Well, it's certainly changed quite a bit since my time.

I think it could benefit everyone.

I wouldn't let everyone hear you say that, if I were you.

You're already on a final chance, and you're in trouble again.

What is it with you?

Extra responsibility, maybe that's what you need.

We'll put you on the bike team, repairs and maintenance.

But in the meantime, you can clean up this yard.

What'd you say?

No way, I just wanted to get out of there.

You're violating my human rights.

Sue me.

And you can apologise to Mr Windsor for your rudeness.

Sorry.

Mr. Windsor.

And thank your lucky stars Kevin and Dale were able to fix that bike.

you'd have been paying it off till Christmas.

Kenzie.

Kenzie.

Do you see Scott, like, out of school?

No.

Not if I can help it.

So he doesn't come to your house then, does he? No.

Why?

I definitely need to.

Look, listen, if you want in there, that's your funeral.

Nothing to do with me.

Kevin.

Well done again on the A for your bridge design specification.

87%. Got there in the end.

Highest mark in the class.

You've improved wonderfully over the last three assignments.

You're back on track now.

You'll just need to keep up the good work with your new teacher.

Why? Are you leaving?

No.

You are.

Apparently, there's going to be a new GPD teacher at Waterloo Road.

Didn't Mr Fitzgerald tell you?

No.

From next week, you'll be able to go back to studying there.

I have to say, Kevin, it's been a real pleasure teaching you these last few

weeks.

Well, thank you. Thank you, sir. Good luck with it all.

Let us know how you get on.

Kevin designed the system.

We just log them in and out on here.

Like a library?

Sort of, yeah.

It's pretty simple.

You in, then? We'll put you on a rotor.

I'm dead disorganised. How can I be better at checking the bikes over

When I was a kid, everyone had a bike.

These days, it's all Xboxes, iPads and smartphones.

Well, that's what this is all about.

Opening people's eyes to the joys of the open road.

Brush of adrenaline, wind in your hair.

Won't they be wearing helmet?

Mr Fitzgerald, Mr Bond said that we've got a new GPD teacher starting.

That's right, next week. He's part of the Teach Direct programme, I meant to

tell you earlier. Yeah, but we've got a PLC project coming along at the moment,

programmable logic.

I need to be there. No, we'll just transfer everything down here. It's the

filibuster. I'm getting A's at the moment, so I can't switch back.

Yeah, it was always going to be a temporary measure. We agreed that.

I can't slip up again. Kevin, I promise you, everything you need will be down

here, but we can't have one rule for you and one rule for everybody else. It

just wouldn't work.

Uh, Kev, how do I amend the booking on the system?

Yeah.

I'm going to teach direct program.

Yep. A probationer from a fast -track scheme with zero experience.

They are drawn from the best graduate and his references are excellent. Even

I doubt he'll provide much of a chance for someone as gifted as Kev. All right,

everything's safe and secure.

Are we ready for the photo op with the Gazette?

I want you to do the honours at lunchtime. Put your cycling gear on and

some pictures taken at the bike bank.

Um, sir, can I want to go for a proper ride? Try it out? You don't have time to

do both.

I'd love you to be there. Our Olympic cycling hopeful.

Um, yeah, yeah, sure.

Great, thank you.

Now, where do you think you would look to find a first -hand account?

You're late. Sit down.

Just in my bed for the environment mess. Good for you.

Just found this.

Not bad for ten minutes' work, eh?

Pick up any old thing you hear.

What's that supposed to mean?

Sorry, Miss, what were you trying to say before we all got interrupted?

Yes, now, where were we? The 1746 Act of Prescription and the Dress Act, which

ordered the surrendering of all swords and tartans and forbade the wearing of

kilts. You should see me in a kilt mask. Scott, just shut up, will you? Just

concentrate, you two, please. Kevin, mate, calm down.

Now, take a minute to imagine what that must have been like for the honest

Highlander.

Sorry to disturb you.

Kevin Chalk wants a word.

OK, sure, ma 'am.

How can I help you?

Well, I'm sure this new teacher's going to be great, but have luck. Have guest

speakers, industry placements... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Slow down.

Um... What if I transferred to have luck completely?

For my grades, everything.

Ah, we couldn't set that kind of precedent.

I mean, the circumstances under which you transferred were exceptional, and

those circumstances have changed.

Look, you've got nothing to worry about. The new GPD teacher is going to be

excellent. Yeah, I'm just... I want to get the best grades I can and get to

Edinburgh. And we will do everything we can to make that happen here at Waterloo

Road.

Listen, you are one of the most talented students the school has ever had.

Thanks. That's true.

And we don't want to lose you.

sooner than we have to, especially not now, when everyone needs to rally round

to help fight this merger.

Yeah, of course.

Anything I can do.

There have been some tricky times, but you've come through them, and I like to

think the school has always been there for you.

Yeah, it has.

Without this place, I'd be nothing.

You're right.

I can't leave.

I was just worried.

Worried about my grade.

Don't be.

You don't think I'm going to let my best pupil down, do you?

Thanks, sir.

What's all this cryptic stuff about, then?

Don't know what you mean.

It means hard to understand.

I know what the word means.

So... I saw you go in there.

In where?

Plenty cars.

With her mum.

I was just popping by to see how she's doing.

We go back a bit, we're mates.

Really? Do you think I'm stupid or something?

I saw the way she touched you.

I saw the way you touched her.

And I waited.

Why were you following me anyway?

I didn't get anything to do with you.

Wherever you want to go, it's up to you. So, what's your problem?

Does Kenzie know?

There's nothing to know.

So, I can mention it to her, then?

If not, look... Nothing happened, but

it's complicated.

Me and Kenzie don't get on great right now, but me and her mum, we're cool.

That's it.

I just didn't want to cause them any trouble.

So what do you think?

Can you forget about it?

Maybe.

Just be careful.

So first we're going to look, and then we're going to say the word, and then we

cover it.

Kinsey?

I know. Then I write it down and check if I've got it right.

Good.

You'll get used to it. It'll all become routine.

Can you tell me what this word says?

F -T -A -Y -E -D.

That's stayed.

Now, these other words have the same A sound, but they're all spelt

Paid.

Weighed.

Obeyed.

Fed.

It's what I'm going to do. I'll have to keep listening to this.

Kinsey, I know it's tough.

But we have to go back to basics. Learn to walk before you can run.

Come on.

Work with me.

I hate all this baby stuff.

How's it going?

Bye -bye. Thanks.

Oh, early days, Kinsey. You'll see my progress.

Two wheelers will be open for business in approximately ten minutes' time.

Told you it wouldn't work with her.

Ladies and gentlemen Welcome to this launch of Waterloo Wheelers, our

new bike bank.

We owe a great big thank you to our sponsor, Mr. Hassan Bakari of the Bike

who has been so amazingly generous in providing us with all these bikes. Thank

you, Hassan.

This is for everyone.

It's for fun. It's for fitness. It's absolutely free. Please do treat the

with respect, but please use the biker.

Off you go.

Each one. Oh, my God. That's got to be from a wheel, then, sir.

I think you need stabilisers.

Laura, let's go.

Is that your idea of fun?

It's nothing to do with me.

It's going to be nice.

What's that? Let's grow this, Mr M.

Just a few teething problems, ladies and gentlemen.

We'll sort it out.

What, is one bike not enough for you?

You had to go and screw up a few more? Well, don't worry, because they're

fixed. Stupid little stump failed.

You're slinging up a bit, mate.

It was probably just someone having a laugh. Oh, it was very funny.

To any potential cyclists out there, Waterloo Wheelers will be open for

this afternoon.

To those who wish to use it in the spirit it was intended.

Thank you. I should dob you in right now.

You don't have any proof.

Do you know what?

All Fitzgerald is trying to do is save this place so idiots like you have got a

place to go where no one else will ever.

I don't ask anything.

Whatever.

I couldn't go.

The head wanted me for some sort of press thing.

Yeah, I did go, but...

Yeah, I will.

I will.

It's only one session, eh?

Got to keep hitting my target.

Well, Danny target.

You no bothering?

I mean, I'll have it if you're not hungry.

You know, yeah.

Monsieur? Yes.

Hello?

Speaking.

Really?

Are you sure?

I'm absolutely speechless.

Local hero and community figure.

You'll be a laughingstock after that.

Someone could have been hurt.

Well, worth a few scraped knees for looking at his face. Christine.

Christine. Christine.

Grief. Nicolastic snap, I'll think.

I hope you don't mind, but I've gone a bit mad.

And I've booked two front row seats for us tonight at the opera.

La Boheme.

Have you?

I've had a bit of a windfall.

Three thousand pounds.

Wow. Where did you get that from?

Premium bonds.

I'd forgotten I had them.

So I thought we'd go out, have a bit of a sludge, enjoy ourselves, celebrate.

Did he?

I'm sorry, Audrey.

We're having dinner.

Remember I told you?

Already booked the table.

It's a little thank you to Christine. She's been helping me choose a new

scheme for my living room.

Oh, yes.

We are.

Oh, no worries.

I know plenty of people who'll bite my hand off.

So am I to add interior decorator to my CV? It was the first thing that came

into my head.

Oh, poor Audrey. She was all pink and excited. I feel quite mean.

So where are you taking me?

Well, I hadn't really got that far. Oh, I see.

All mouth and no trousers.

No, no. Man of my word.

Your choice, my treat.

Really? Yeah.

And I guarantee it'll cheer you up. You'll forget that Lorna Hutchinson

existed. Well, that would have to be quite some restaurant.

Well, in that case... Oh, don't worry, cheap and cheerful is fine by me.

OK. I mean, do I look like I'd enjoy a night spent watching some overweight

opera singer strangling a top theme? What happened to the punk with the

spiky hair?

Probably ended up in the same place as the rockabilly with the six -inch quiff.

That is so wrong.

Oh, Dale.

Can I have a wee, will you?

Yeah.

Could you use a hand with your fitness programme?

Like timings, cardio and stuff like that. Like a sort of training buddy.

It's just that I'm hoping to go to uni and do sports physio, and I think it'd

a really good experience for me as well, you know?

Yeah.

I'm fine.

Oh, OK.

I just kind of do my own thing.

It's better that way. It keeps me focused.

Yeah, no, no, it's fine. No worries.

Ah,

Kevin.

Oh, I fixed your laptop.

It was a Z -bot, so no wonder you couldn't find it. No idea what you're

about, but thanks, I think.

Fantastic university.

Here after a career in computer science? Yeah, it's all I've wanted for as long

as I can remember.

I just need straight A's.

I'm sure you'll get them, especially with the help you've been getting at

Havelock. But I've got to come back here next week, haven't I?

We've got a new GPD teacher starting.

Yes, I heard. Great.

I thought it'd be easier to stay there, but Mr Fitzgerald didn't want me to.

No.

Waterloo Road's been really great to me.

I'd probably be a bit of a rat if I bailed.

Especially with the merger and everything.

Yeah?

Nice one.

Letting Kevin Chalk take a class at Havelock. Thank you. I have my moments.

how come you told him he couldn't go there full time?

If he seriously wants to transfer to Havelock to take his exams, I think you

should support him. Do you?

You being the supply teacher for this week.

Well, it's better than guilt -tripping him into staying.

I had no idea you were so concerned about his education.

I think he needs more than this school has to offer. If you think this school

doesn't have enough to offer, you're welcome to leave it. Come on, at

they've got... Don't give me at Havelock. Don't run this school down by

comparison. All I want is what's best for Kevin.

You hardly know him. I just don't think you should sacrifice his prospects to

suit your own political agenda.

Meaning what?

Well, you're not exactly going to hand over your star pupil to the enemy now,

are you?

Do I have to remind you I am headteacher here? Do I have to remind you what a

headteacher does? The best for each individual pupil.

Bit of a domestic.

Again.

Let's hope the tannoy isn't on this time.

Education's all about opening doors. Yes, it certainly is. Let me show you

through this one. Having up could be Kevin's best chance. You have no right

standing in his way. Thank you.

Oh, don't you start. He hasn't been himself in a long time.

Stuck down with a bunch of kids a year younger. He's fed up, bored and getting

into trouble.

Did you and Olga plan this?

I'm just saying she's making a fair point.

She is a mutinous ex -wife intent on stirring things up.

She is a damn fine teacher.

Just the type this school needs. She knows her stuff and she really cares

the kids.

Don't you still need someone in the geography department?

I have several candidates under consideration.

Well, I like her.

Everyone likes her except you.

Christine, why are you here and what do you want?

You asked to see me.

Oh.

Are you free this evening after school?

Well, I already have a date, if that's why you're asking.

No, thank you.

I just thought we needed a bit of a catch -up, that's all. You, me and

could discuss the PTA in more detail.

You could think more than a right to.

Excuse me?

Yeah, of course, glad to.

I don't see a lot of writing going on, Fairchild.

The thing about pens, you have to actually make contact with the paper in

for the ink to come out.

No, I've had enough of French for one day.

Yes, well, I'm sure the feeling's mutual.

I doubt you want to spend what's left of it picking up litter again, do you?

Better than be stuck in here.

Give it a rest, Scott. Some of us are trying to work.

Proper little swat, aren't you? Just doing what I'm told. You should give it

go sometime.

You know, playing tiddlywinks, it's not going to get you very far.

You really rate yourself.

Just do us all a favour and go back to your little playpen.

One more word out of you, Fairchild.

What?

Nobody says booty golden boy over here.

Well, at least I make an effort.

You shouldn't even be at the school.

No, neither should you.

You got held back here, didn't you? Remind me why again.

Oh, yeah.

You had a stroke.

Grandma.

Off you go. Feel free to kill each other.

Right, it's not on my watch.

Oi!

What did you just say?

You say that again and I'll kill you.

Do you want me to go back?

He's not in the bed.

Don't make me come down there.

Get to your closet straight away. It's no wonder being stuck here with gun bags

like you. He's not happy unless he's spoiling it for everybody else. I'm just

trying to make the day go by.

Do you know what your problem is?

You can't take a joke.

You're the joke, Scott. You can't even ride a bike.

Who can't ride a bike?

You. You fell flat on your face like an absolute muppet. I'd rather be a muppet

than a stuck -up geek.

No way you're fighting him. No contest.

He can't be right all up there. Well, let's be showing you off to school.

Bring her on.

I'll annihilate you.

You like clubbing fights, don't you?

Quite a little peacemaker, really.

Didn't seem that impressed before.

Maybe I was a bit harsh.

Maybe. Kenzie.

How did it go, Mrs Mulgrew?

Not great.

I'd much rather you taught me to read.

Well, as an English teacher, she's in a much better position to help you than I

am. She doesn't understand the way my head works.

I don't claim to understand that either.

How's it going with Scott?

Nothing I can't handle.

He seemed to be bothering other people more than me.

Well, I guess that's progress, though.

Which can't be said for my readings.

She's had one lesson. Give her a chance.

I don't like the way she talks to me.

It'd be different if it were you.

Then I'd learn it much faster.

There's no rush.

Look out.

He gave me a word.

It's a shame your Grand Lord descended into a bit of a farce. Nobody died.

I trust you had a less stressful afternoon?

Apart from Scott Fairchild and Kevin Chalk taking a pop at each other in the

corridor, yes. Again?

Yeah, well, half the course for Fairchild, but Kevin, you'd expect

rather better.

You want to be careful that your second chances don't start dragging the good

apples down to their level.

Just saying.

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, one of the deadliest natural disasters in

recorded history.

Oh, my God, look at that. Over 230 ,000 people died. Now, who can explain to me

how that happened? What created that terrifying wall of water?

An earthquake under the sea.

Bottom, can you be a bit more precise?

It was a fault line between two tectonic plates below the ocean floor.

ruptured, forcing one of them upwards and displacing water, which came roaring

out as a series of gigantic waves.

Exactly, destroying everything in their path.

Is there anything I can do to help, Mr Fitzgerald?

Uh, no. Please, carry on.

So, it had the force of 23 Hiroshima bombs.

You can think of the devastation that that one bomb caused.

That is just how enormous the force that hit the tectonic plates was.

Scott's been a bad one.

No. He already thinks he went to school.

It's just stupid.

Just tell him you're not doing it.

Nobody blame you, Kev.

You balling it, Kev?

No chance.

He's got more guts than you'll ever have. We'll soon see.

I've got nothing to prove.

But if it shuts you up, it'll be worth it. Go for it.

I'm with you down that back alley behind Northcote Street.

You're going to wipe that smile out of your ugly mug.

He hasn't got a snowball.

Why are you going along with Kevin Shaw?

Listen to you.

Are you jealous?

No, curious.

You were everyone's best mate before and now look at you. Why take Kevin on?

Everybody loves him. Maybe that's why.

That makes sense.

Why are you so angry?

Coming from you.

Look, I'm just trying to have a laugh.

And if that ruffles a few feathers, so be it.

It's not my problem.

You know, I saw much of the blanket someone in this store down my throat.

Didn't exactly ask to come here, did I?

You're in now. Might as well embrace it.

Listen to you.

The great rebel turned good girl.

You don't like it here, do you?

It's all right.

Oh, great.

Just what I need.

It's time to the dark side.

Look, I'm just saying, leave Kevin alone.

What? What's the newly reformed Kenji going to do about it?

Are you going to go tell Fitzgerald?

Don't make me.

Just have some sense.

Don't dig yourself a deeper hole than you need to.

You'd be better backing off now.

It's too late.

I'll back out now and everyone will think I'm chicken.

It's just a bit of fun anyway.

No, you'll hurt him.

And you may be an idiot, but you're not a thug.

So do the decent thing for once.

Dinner's off, I'm afraid. I've been summoned by Vaughan.

See you in ten.

That's a shame.

I've decided to push the boat out.

Of course you had.

Well, next time Audrey springs the surprise treat on you, do feel free to

as your get -out -of -jail card.

I might just do that.

My life doesn't always feel like my own at the moment.

Well, reclaim it. Come out with me instead. Have some fun. Dye your hair

In fact, tell Audrey we're dating and you're completely off the hook.

But we're not dating.

She doesn't know that.

George, if I didn't know you better, I'd think you actually were fishing for a

date. Ah, the old double bluff.

No, that's far too much like hard work.

Fair enough.

Truth is...

I'm terrible at relationships, as we both well know.

But for you, even I think I could sustain a fake one.

Is that a compliment?

I don't know.

Is it?

Well, I'll take it anyway.

I bet he doesn't even turn up.

Well, he's not going to lose faith, is he?

Who can't ride a bike?

He's got my bike!

Let's see who passes thinking. Will I go?

Come in.

Hey, come on, Kevin!

You're an idiot, bad child.

I may be an idiot, but an idiot that can ride faster than you. I'm warning you.

What are you playing at?

I don't know.

How about a game of tracky?

Come on.

Come on, Professor. You can do better than that.

Devin, step up.

I've got a warning you.

No, I'm just there.

I'm going to get you.

Better watch your foot pressure.

Don't end up back in crutches, do you?

Come on, Jockey.

Guys, no, Joe.

You can't do that.

I'm breathing a breath, Bonnie.

No!

Don't touch it!

David.

David, can you hear me?

Kevin.

I'm sorry, mate.

I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to do it. It was just a joke. Kevin, Kevin,

need to wake up, please.

Look, you need to wake up now.

Come on, you need to say something, mate. Please.

Christine, Kenzie Colquhoun just came to see me to ask if I could take over her

literacy tuition.

Well, I didn't get off to the best of heart, but... I've got quite a close

with her, so I think I could really help.

Well, thanks, and I'm quite happy to carry on. We just need to get to know

other a bit more.

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend.

I just want to help if I could.

Sorry I'm late.

Come through.

Right. This PTA, I think. Kevin!

There, over here!

You're going to be okay, okay?

What did you do to him?

Nothing.

I swear it was an accident.

He hit the rail.

He could have hit his head.

Get out of the way. Get out of the way.

Look, we need an ambulance.

I'll do it.

No, you've done enough.

I'll do it.

What, is he going to be OK?

A PTA is a great idea. Give the parents a stake in decision -making, a forum for

their ideas, and that way they really invest in the school.

And its future.

A ready -made support group to help fight the merger.

Exactly.

Good. Well, we're all agreed. So, in terms of who runs it... Love to. Me too.

You'll have so much honor, Deputy.

But as Deputy, it would be a great opportunity for me to forge some links

the parents and families.

I can do that.

Really? It's no bother.

And it's a lot of responsibility for you when you're trying to take a back seat.

Having run the entire school, I'm sure the PPA isn't beyond me.

No, honestly, it's fine.

I suppose we could do it together.

Together?

Yes, well, it was your idea after all. And you've been brilliant at gaining

Kenzie's trust, so maybe it would be better for you to take over with her.

OK.

Together's good with me.

And me.

Good.

Well, I'm glad I sorted that one out.

Where's this ambulance?

I didn't mean to hurt him.

He's waking up.

Look, it's all right, Kevin.

You're going to be OK.

No -one move him. He could hurt his back.

Look, we're right here, Kevin. You're going to be OK, all right? Come on,

Can you hear us?

Ambulance.

Where are you going?

You coward!

Come back here!

Look after him.

Excuse me, guys.

Hello there.

Can someone tell me his name?

Kevin. Kevin Chalk.

Kevin, can you hear me?

My name's Ronnie. Listen, the ambulance is here. You're going to be fine. Has

anybody moved him? No, no. OK, good.

There's been an accident.

Kevin Chalk's hurt.

Dale and Kenzie have rung an ambulance.

Where are they?

They're on their way to the hospital.

They'll be right over there.

Well, I'll come with you, Christine. Can you hold the fort here?

Maybe Kevin would like to see a familiar face?

Yeah, of course.

You go? Yes. Why don't you both stay here? Someone's going to have to tell

Maggie what's happened.

Come on.

You just heard about Kevin. I'm on my way to Annie.

He cycled in.

I'll give you a lift.

And some moral support.

Thank you.

Run away, loser.

You don't get it, do you? Get what?

You couldn't even wait to make sure he's okay.

You're pathetic.

I told you this would happen.

You've been winding him up all day.

You just don't know when to stop, do you?

It's not my fault he took me on.

For once in your life, just hold your hands up.

Take the blame.

No?

Okay. Well, you just keep on running, then.

I'm going back to find out what's happened to Kevin.

Kenzie!

Wait.

Why do you act like such a jerk?

Nobody told him to take on the challenge.

He could have backed out at any point, just saying. So I'll get kicked out,

then. See you back here.

Then what are you going to do?

How's Kevin?

Yeah, I've just taken him to hospital.

So he's awake, talking.

I'm looking for you, this.

He's OK.

Get over it. It's only a bike. Stop it!

Don't! That's not going to help.

Just calm down.

Calm down.

Yeah, he's right.

Living worth it, are you?

Why don't you just stick to mincing about in Lycra? Shut up, Scott!

You just don't learn, do you?

Chasing each other on bikes.

I warned you to stay away from Scott Fairchild this morning.

I'm sorry, sir.

Your stupid kid stuff. Don't worry about that now.

Kevin?

He's OK. No broken bones. Just concussion.

When Christine told me, I thought, why weren't you wearing a helmet?

You could have been killed.

They're going to send him down for a scan just to check with no bleeding or

skull fracture.

I'm fine, Mrs B.

There's nothing to worry about.

Scott Fairchild is well toxic.

Yeah. Listen, thanks for that.

I redact him.

Look, I know how it feels to be wound up, especially when you're under

I got a bit stressed out about my exams last year and ended up having panic

attacks and all that. It was horrible.

Really? But you always seem dead chilled out.

I just learned how to deal with it.

Listen, what you said before about a training buddy, are you still up for it?

Sorry about before, it's just I thought I'd keep to myself these days.

There's trouble that way.

Cool.

Cool, I'm in. Yeah?

How about tonight? Get on the stopwatch, see how fast she goes.

Sure. That's if I can move after another one of Mrs.

Budden's monster meals.

She's a fever, isn't she? Going to my fat arse if I'm not careful.

I meant what I said earlier, about you being one of the best students that

Waterloo Road has ever had.

And as such, you deserve the best help I can give you.

Which is why you will be transferring to Havelock High.

No, sir, I can't leave Hortley Road.

No arguments.

Otherwise I will have to exclude you for reckless behaviour and then they would

have to take you anyway.

Are you serious?

And change schools?

I'll talk to the head tomorrow.

That would be brilliant.

You'll be happier there.

And so more likely to realise your full potential.

Thief in Waterloo Road.

It's weird.

They'll be lucky to have you.

Don't forget that.

I won't.

And next time you want to get your own way, can you please find some way of

doing it that doesn't involve hospitals?

Thank you, sir.

And all of you.

You know, Waterloo Road's lucky to have teachers like you.

That was a very good thing you just did.

In the end, I owe you an apology for the way I've behaved since you've been at

the school.

Not exactly the warmest welcome I've ever had.

I was wrong. I just... I felt sort of...

Invaded? Crowded?

I've heard nothing but good things about you from staff and... Pupils, I've seen

it myself. You're a very good person to have around.

Thank you.

All those qualities I first admired in you, and which I'd almost forgotten

about.

It would be a shame if Waterloo Road was to lose those.

What I'm trying to say is that, subject to Board of Governors, I'd very much

like you to stay.

Hey, Kenzie.

Wait. Not now, Scott.

Luke, I'm sorry.

Don't tell me. Tell Kevin.

I will.

Not just about today.

The one before.

Between us.

Can't we just be mates?

Why now?

I was a stupid kid back then. No, you still are. That's why Kevin's ended up

hospital. The difference is I know what I did wrong now.

Today.

I'm the four.

Look, I'm not your mate, Scott.

Never was, never will be, but I don't have to be your enemy either.

So you don't bother me, I don't bother you. Best I can do.

Fair enough.

But you do anything to me again, I swear I'll kill you.

I won't.

I promise.

Marco de Oliveira.

Wow, okay.

Fellow science teacher and health note, you put me to shame. I don't know, you

look pretty fit yourself.

Everyone knows I'm rubbish at English, it's no big deal. There's nothing to be

ashamed of. Can you not read properly?

Are you alright? You seem a bit upset.

Stay out of my life, you weirdo.

Sorry, I think Karen needs help.

Is it true, Miss?

Dettledown, please.

There's a chance we're about to be accused of inviting a paedophile into

school. We do this by the book.

Then there's more brand new on 3 this Thursday at 10 as we go back behind bars

with Luke. This week, our guy on the inside is trying to impress his

by fitting an A -level, but it doesn't go quite according to plan. Comedy with

Ellis James.

And up next, it's live at the Apollo.
