Any second thoughts?

Nope. None at all.

I'm not casing him off. I'm Robbie.

Right. We need to cut 30 % of our running costs.

How much? I hear you're looking to buy a motor.

Yeah, like he's going to buy one from you.

Do you want one?

I have to say, that is one hell of a big deal.

I can't afford it. I'm going to do you a really good deal.

Is it Connor? Is that you? Oh, it's great, isn't it? Grantley!

He needs that transplant as soon as possible.

Because the longer he waits, the less chance he has of making it.

Would any of you be prepared to be a donor?

Are you coming to watch me in the chess tournament?

Are you kidding me?

Dennis Deberry playing chess?

I'm so proud of you. At last someone with the brains to take on Kevin Chalk.

dead sorry, Mr. Bridgent or Caldwell.

Without him coaching me, I'm sloped.

You can always drop out of this competition if you want.

It's not too late.

Why, are you scared?

Believe it or not, no.

So how long have you been playing chess?

A few weeks, long enough to beat you.

We've got to come on to him then.

Haha,

I promised you I'd be back, didn't I babe?

Are you at least going to give me a big hug?

Babe, I wish you so much home.

Where's Steve?

Steve -o.

Didn't see his boyfriend.

Boyfriend? She never said. Well, he's been away.

Uni?

Her Majesty's pleasure.

What are you being all courageous?

Parole.

I thought about you every day, you know.

That's what you ever know.

I just want us to have a fresh start.

I saw her at a flat in Liverpool.

Just the two of us.

What? I want to take care of you.

Treat you proper.

How do you like the sound of that, eh?

Lap of luxury.

Just what you've always wanted.

Somebody could have woken us.

Thought we'd let you have a line this morning.

Well, thanks, but now you'll just have to make do with cereal.

Again.

How's Mr Budgeon?

Yeah, he's, er, he's... He's doing OK.

It's just going to take a little time, that's all.

It's dead quiet without him. Hope he comes home soon.

Well, I read a story in Closer about a woman that was in one of them comas for

12 years.

Yes, well, you don't want to believe all the rubbish that you read in the mags,

do you? But it's not rubbish, though. It says sometimes never even wake up.

Look, hurry up, the lot of yous. You're all going to be late.

Are you coming to school today?

Yeah, I've got an appointment with Her Ladyship, Miss Donegan.

What's she want?

I've no idea.

Stomping up for Grantley's sick pay might be nice.

This is it, babe.

The first day of the rest of our life.

I can't just leave.

Is this why you stopped writing?

Have you met somebody else?

No. Just me and my family moving up the air.

It's far away.

It's okay. I don't blame you.

He wants a boyfriend in the nick.

I've changed in this day.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I've had a lot of time to think about what I want.

I want you.

You're still robbing for that? No, I've put all that behind me now. I don't want

to go back to prison.

I want a fresh start.

Just you and me.

You say that? Listen, I mean it.

I want to do right by you.

Is that an engagement ring?

It's a beast, isn't it?

It's gorgeous.

Look, I don't want to put pressure on you.

It's yours, no matter what happens between us.

I know we've got a long way to go, but I want us to be together.

I don't care what anyone says, Dynasty. I've got a fiver on you to win this

chess tournament.

Thanks, here.

Chess?

You?

Why wouldn't I?

You know I love you, babe, but chess?

Isn't that for brain boxers? Well, that'd rule you out then, mate, wouldn't

OK.

Are you going to tell this man to leave the premises, or am I?

Is this your teacher, then?

It's Mr Clarkson. He's the deputy head.

And you are? I don't want you thinking I was laughing at dinner today.

We go back a long way.

If she's learned how to play chess and this school's doing something right...

I'm really proud of you, babe.

Hey, maybe you could teach me how to play chess.

That'd be a laugh.

You said it.

I've been sticking around for a while.

Got a lot of making up to do.

You left early.

You look very smart.

Yeah, maybe a flak jacket would be more appropriate this morning. Lorraine's

efficiency should go down like a lead balloon in that stuff.

Just tell if he's sick of efficiencies.

You want this place to stay open, don't you?

Well, of course I do. Lorraine stops writing the checks and it closes. I

you understood that.

Well, maybe the vodka's destroyed my brain cells.

Hey, I don't want to have an argument about this.

Look, Michael, if you're under siege...

Let me cover Grantley's head of year 12. I'd be willing to do it just for the

experience. You really think you're suited to pass through one?

Well, clearly you don't. Thanks very much for the vote of confidence,

I'm under a lot of pressure here. I'd appreciate some support.

You're not seriously thinking about leaving?

I don't know.

You've never mentioned Steve Old before?

I didn't think he'd ever come back for me.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Romantic. Wasn't like that.

The real deal.

We'll have to wait on the A -level options, obviously, but we should be at

capacity on the core subject.

No -one can argue with the figures.

Doesn't mean they're going to like it, though.

Who's not going to like what?

Have I missed something?

No. Nothing you won't hear about in the staff meeting.

Tom, could you give us a minute?

Sure.

Music? Yeah.

Where's my money?

The truck's not going to pay for itself.

What's that?

We agreed 50 a week. I can't pay it. I didn't get that job. It's not my

Get another.

Look, I'll lend you 30 to cover this week's payment.

As a favour.

You'd better watch that interest, mate.

It's a killer.

I'm impressed.

The only thing better than robbing a bank is being one.

There's loads of skin kids here.

This place is a gold mine.

Hey, I'm lending to her.

And to him.

And his ma.

Keeping the car for a bit.

Don't mind, do you?

It's the least I could do.

Logan!

I'll see you later.

Ben?

What? Is that Steve -o?

Is he out?

You steer well clear from him, OK?

How come?

Because I say so.

You're ashamed of me, aren't you? No.

It's great having a little sister who's a boy. Why does it bother you so much?

Because it's embarrassing.

I'll tell you what's embarrassing.

Having a brother that's a complete imbecile.

You don't even know how stupid you are.

What is it with some boys?

It's like they're in their own group that no one else can fit into. It's

pathetic. It's called testosterone.

It's the moron hormone.

Beats me why you'd want some.

What's wrong?

It's just there are pupils about.

I don't understand. Are you embarrassed?

No, no, don't be silly.

No, we're still on for lunch today, aren't we? Of course we are.

I'll see you later.

I'm just a wee bit out of practice, I suppose.

You'll be fine.

Will I?

Yeah. It's just like riding a bike, innit, once you get back in the saddle.

Not saying that you're... Oh, that... Who's that?

You think?

I'm saying nothing.

You were trying to avoid me. I've got your money. About time. Just not on me.

You are having a laugh, right? I can get it.

Tomorrow. Honest.

I want it by the end of school.

I don't know where you're free. Go on.

Go on.

Go on.

I had a slogan, don't give me a gift.

What is it, you?

I could help you with the collection.

Yeah.

That'll do it.

What?

You know, the only reason why people are messing me around is because of you.

People used to feed off Andy.

And now we're a joke.

It's not true.

Do you reckon?

The efficiency report detailed several areas for savings, including staffing.

I know this is difficult, but the facts speak for themselves.

OK.

We're running at 76 % capacity in all the core subjects, but only 37 % in some

of the A -level options.

That means these subjects are almost twice as expensive to run, which in turn

prevents us expanding the curriculum.

We're offering subjects that pupils don't want.

And not the ones they do.

This is the 21st century.

Computer literacy is as important as reading and writing these days.

It's what the kids want.

Which is why this afternoon we're going to open up a new IT lab.

So you're talking about cutbacks then splashing out on computers?

No, Tom.

They're a donation from me and they're not going to cost a penny.

But we need to reduce staff expenditure by at least 20%. It's as simple as that.

You mean redundancies?

No, that's precisely what we're trying to avoid.

But if there's anyone who'd consider taking voluntary redundancy, I am

together a package.

So it is all about money?

No, Audrey.

It's about efficiency.

Take your history A -level, for example.

What's that, ten pupils in year 12?

Eight in year 13?

You could be teaching a class of 30. That is a lot of empty seats.

Now! The Year 11s make their AS -level choices tonight.

Tomorrow, we're going to draw up a new curriculum based on which subjects we

should be offering.

What, so the kids dictate the curriculum?

Sue, are you saying I have to justify history by filling up some sort of

Yeah.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

A quota of 20, to be precise.

The rain will be lucky to avoid a mutiny. I mean, the whole department's

threat of slashing burn.

Look, nobody wants this, but we have to stick together.

So let me help you.

How do you mean?

Well, they're talking about cuts across the board. If I step up and do Granton's

head of year work for free, that will help fight the cuts. It's a no -brainer,

surely. It's not that simple.

You're just not willing to give me a chance, are you? No, it's not about you.

It's about what's best for the school, that's all.

All right, let me think about it then, OK?

Today, the Year 11 students take their AS level options.

The school is here to help you decide.

As you're probably aware, Mr Budgeon remains in hospital.

I'm sure you'll join me in wishing him well. Our thoughts are with him.

I'll be running this afternoon's chess competition in his absence.

I hope you'll go along and support Kevin Chalk and the other Waterloo Road

competitors.

Or you could come and check out the new IT lab.

Now, I believe IT is essential and at the heart of every job.

I mean, history, English, theatre study.

They're fine, right?

But are they going to get you a good job?

Shakespeare's all very well, but the only job he'll get you comes with a

hat and the words, Would you like fries with that?

Or perhaps ambition should be made of sterner stuff.

Julius Caesar, Act 3, Scene 2. I'm sure Miss Donegan will agree that Shakespeare

has a thing or two to teach us.

The year 11 AS level options in the assembly hall after school. Thank you.

luck.

Make sure you make the right choice.

Are you OK?

What am I doing here, Imogen?

Your A levels?

You know, Miss Sonegan, she's got to be A levels appointment.

They're on wait for me, Tana.

What if she's right?

Is this to do with your flashy boyfriend turning up?

Yeah, no.

I don't know.

I just need to think.

How's Grantley?

No change.

The doctors can't tell us anything. He could be like this for months.

I see.

You must be worried sick.

Yeah, I am.

I really should be at the hospital. I take it this is about the sick pay and

leave and that.

Yet there isn't any more leave, Maggie.

That's why I called you in.

I can only allow you the one week off.

What? I can't afford to have two members of staff off indefinitely.

I need you back at work with immediate effect.

I need to be with Grant, Leah. I wish I could give you more time, but like you

said, this could go on for months.

Let me get this straight, right?

OK, my husband is in a coma?

And you are sending us back to work. Sorry.

Obviously, I don't mean to put any pressure on you.

Oh, I know what you mean, Miss Donegan.

Being ill isn't in your budget.

You've made yourself crystal.

Maggie?

What are you doing back?

Ask Donegan.

She cannot have me and Grantley off indefinitely, she says.

Oh, that woman's getting out of control.

Oh, I suppose I cannot blame her. Well, it's my fault, really, isn't it? I mean,

if I had found somebody to be a donor sooner, then Grantley wouldn't be lying

a bloomin' coma, would he?

Don't go blaming yourself. There's hundreds of people, thousands, looking

kidney.

Thanks for reminding me, Tom.

Nice one.

I just saw dinner. Do you see some guy?

Yeah, it's a boyfriend.

Imogen told me. She's got a boyfriend.

Turned up this morning.

She never said.

You bothered, like?

I did.

Because I think she's well into you.

Didn't they?

Get real.

Straight up.

It's whole chess thing. It's just to impress you.

Well, it doesn't matter now anyway, does it?

Not that she's got a boyfriend.

Hey. It's a lot of boxes.

It's the delivery for the IT lab.

Surplus from one of Lorraine's other companies.

She wants me to get it set up by lunchtime, but I wasn't expecting so

stuff.

Do you want some help?

Would you?

You're an angel.

This is going to take forever.

Not necessarily.

Come on.

Load me up.

Thanks.

Have you picked anything up recently?

What?

In your pick -up truck?

No wonder you're single.

Your creative writing is good.

You could do better.

I see.

Great.

You're not going to get an A -star every time.

You have to work for them.

In any way, I see it's good.

Hey, you really excelled yourself.

Right, quieten down. We need to crack on.

Milton's Paradise... The point is, you could get whatever you want.

Yeah, you're right.

Last lesson, we were looking at some of the different themes of the poem.

Marriage, free will, and criticism of the idolatry.

Good morning.

When I was a little girl, I found this sword buried up to the hilt in the woods

near my home.

Now, I didn't realise it then, but my love of history, my passion for history,

began that day.

The word historia is Greek for inquiry.

And my head was full of questions.

Whose sword was it? How did it get there? Whom had it killed?

Now, in learning about this sword, I learnt about myself

and my connection with my past.

We cannot understand ourselves unless we understand our history.

And today, you are all going to begin investigations into your own histories.

You might well find your ancestors arrived on a Viking longboat, and you

well have connections with the Industrial Revolution in Manchester.

whatever it is you discover, it will amaze you.

So, let's get started, and on with the quest!

Steva? What are you doing here?

Where did you get this gear?

I couldn't get to see you any other way.

What are you like?

Believe me, I'd do a lot more than this to get to spend time with you.

Come here.

That one can go there.

Space for them all, like I said.

Very impressive.

I do hope Miss Donegan is appreciating you.

I wonder.

It's true.

You put so much into everything you do. And that is a very special quality to

have. Yeah, well, I couldn't have done any of this without you.

So, thank you.

We make quite a good team, eh?

Your brains, my body. It's perfect.

So are you coming with me or what?

I don't know, Steve -O.

I like this place.

Oh, dump.

But it's not like Liverpool, is it, babe?

Don't you miss it?

The city, the buzz, me.

Think of all the fun we used to have.

We can do all that again.

You don't need this anymore.

I've got us a place, all sorted.

On the Albert Dock.

Yeah?

Serious. Top spec.

River views.

This is about us now.

Just me and you.

You're all serious, aren't you?

I've been waiting for this for a long time.

So what do you say?

I will expect you all to have completed your historical investigations.

Or else.

That was a brilliant miss.

Can't believe I'd enjoy history so much.

Oh, good.

Well, there'll be plenty more of that at A -level next year.

No, I'm not doing history A -level. Got to think about my future, not my past.

I'll be doing IT.

Can I help you, pal?

No, I don't think you can, mate.

Why don't you do us a favour, then?

Sod off.

I think that young kid fancies you.

Does he? I can tell.

Which is why you're leaving the school and coming back home with me.

I'd better go, Stephen.

Go get your things together.

I'll be waiting.

Hi, everyone.

I just wanted to let you know, today is my last day.

Aren't you going to say anything?

Like what?

Well done, you're fulfilling your potential as a gangster's maul.

Gangster's maul?

Oh, fiancé.

Oh, God, it's getting worse and worse.

That's a bit rich coming from you, Imogen. I mean, at least I've got a

businessman as partner.

And not some sad, pathetic loser of a schoolboy who still lives with his

Yeah, well, bye -bye, dynasty.

Oh, look.

Someone's relieved that I'm not going to make a show of them at the chess

tournament. Oh, get real. You're just a bimbo, and everybody knows bimbos don't

play chess.

You OK?

It's Barry.

He's doing nothing.

Will you talk to him? I can't. I'm not going to be around.

I'm going to live with people.

So good.

The time comes when you've got to do things on your own.

You're ready for that.

Your own body will sort it out.

Not without you.

You've come so far on your own.

There's only me anymore.

Yeah, you're right.

I did do it all by myself.

Wish I could say the same for you, though.

Enjoy the easy life, yeah?

No. Yeah?

I'm not grassing her up or anything.

But it's dynasty.

What is it?

Barry!

Did you know about dynasty and Steve -o? Of course.

She's done well for herself.

We can't just let her go.

Will you speak to her, please?

And say what?

If she goes, I'll have no one to talk to. It'll just be me and you up here.

You can go visit her.

See her every weekend if you want.

Please? Listen to yourself.

You're whining. Just like a girl.

Complete the table to show the arrangement of electrons in oxygen

Hello, Einstein.

We're supposed to be working in a group.

Hello, Earth to Robbie.

What?

What's up?

I'm going to show them that I'm not some whining girl.

Let's chat. More work, please.

So, just like that, you're going to drop everything. Sit down.

Sounds like a cop -out to me.

But why stay in school if I don't have to, sir?

I thought you wanted to pass your exams. I thought it was important to you.

Do you hear what Miss Donegan said?

You need an A in theatre studies.

All that effort and you just end up signing on.

No thanks.

I waste a year here and I can't just start my life now.

It's not a waste, Dynasty.

You of all people should know that.

Me? Why me, sir?

Education is the one thing that no -one can take away from you. It gives you

options. If you don't sit your exams, you won't have them. You'll never know

when you might need them.

Thanks, Abel.

I've made up my mind.

Can I go now?

Fine.

I'll get Sonia to do the paperwork.

Dinothy, you dress it up how you like, from where I'm sitting.

It's a cop -out.

Hello, babes. Stephen, guess what?

I'm on my way.

Hey, that's fantastic news.

Listen, I'm just doing something. Give me an hour.

Okay.

Okay, listen.

Meet me at the car park outside school.

Love you.

I'll see you later.

I'm set up. I'm done already.

There's been a mix -up with the orders.

Sorry. We'll soften it.

Hurry up, yeah?

You'd be mad to take this dress. It's just completely pointless.

Doing something you're not passionate about.

No, that's useless.

What do you think, sir?

About what?

Like, what subjects to pick.

Well...

I think you should choose the subjects that give you the most out of your life.

Even Mr. Byrne agrees with me. And I think you should remember that there's

to life than just a job.

There's a whole wide world out there, and you're not going to see it all from

the inside of an office.

Come on, then.

It's the moment you've all been waiting for.

Your new IT lab is officially open.

Wow, this is good.

Come on then, don't be shy.

It's here for you to use.

So use it.

I thought I told you I wanted this place ready. Where are the other computers?

There was a mix -up.

They're bringing the right ones now.

It's not quite Silicon Valley, but... It's the future.

Innovation, self -learning, enterprise.

That's what this school's all about.

A computer can't replace a teacher, though, Miss Donegan.

As for self -learning, you've clearly never worked with children.

If you think the kids of today are into dusty old books, Miss McFall, you

clearly haven't worked with them either.

Miss, I need some books on Congolese history to help with my project. Can you

please help me find them?

As long as the ones we find are dusty and old, I'd be delighted.

Mr Budgeon's predicted grade for you as well.

Already?

It's just that I don't think we usually get them so early.

Oh, you've got them?

No.

Shouldn't we wait until Mr Budgeon's better?

No.

Make sure you bring those to Mr. Burns' attention.

I need me mobile. I'll have the phone dropped.

You going somewhere?

Going to the pool for good.

I want your boyfriend.

Away?

No.

Wow.

You never even mentioned you had a fella.

Oh, he's been away.

We've got a flat down on the Albert Dach. Two bedrooms, the lot.

God, what I want these.

I made up, Sonia.

I really am.

No wonder.

Hello, Watley Road.

Sonia speaking.

Oh, yes.

There was a mix -up with the IT order.

You guys said so yourself.

I see.

And you're sure a uniform was taken?

Right.

Okay.

Thanks.

I reckon you owe my bro money.

Get off!

I reckon you pay off. Now.

What are you doing?

Mind your own.

Who do you think you are?

Robbie Barry, you've got a problem with that?

I am so sorry.

It's okay.

I believe your lunch is cold by now.

I just got caught up in something, and I... I forgot.

It's okay.

Really, it doesn't matter.

I'm just not very good at this, am I?

I... It's been so long since I've had to factor someone else into my life.

What is that famous saying, eh?

Practice makes perfect.

Perhaps we could do dinner tonight?

My treat?

Think of it as practice.

Okay.

Your payment's overdue.

You and my brother.

So?

Pay up, what else?

What are you going to do about it?

Take him, Bailey.

What's that?

Well, it's currently been ill. I'm making sure the department are getting

Look at the brownie points from Michael, are we?

They are hard to come by, believe me.

So, have you sent in your interpretation questions for the mocks yet? I might

have missed your email.

I'll do them today.

I've been a little distracted.

Hi, Maggie. What brings you in here?

Lady Mock is too grand to eat in a canteen with everybody else.

You don't have enough on your plate.

Must be hard being back at work.

I should be with Grantley.

I mean, what if he wakes up and I'm not there?

Maybe it's best you get stuck in, take your mind off things.

I don't want to take my mind off Grantley, thank you very much,

Though everyone else seems to.

I'm in there every minute I can be.

But I can sit all day reading him the racing post. It's not going to bring him

round, is it?

He's in the best hands.

He needs more than the best hands, Christine.

He needs a kidney transplant.

Because without one, he's going to die.

That came across as whip out one of your kidneys right now and hand it over to

Grantland.

She's desperate.

Here she is.

My little princess.

I'm ready to go.

This is it.

I'm ready for the time of your life.

Aw, me mum. She'll be amazing from home.

I look forward to seeing Carol.

I used to fancy her, Mum.

I'll put my bag in the booth.

Babe, wait!

What are these?

Just trying to make a living, babe.

Started flogging a few second -hand computers.

Well, they look new.

Don't look at me like that. It's legit.

So that's why you had the uniform on? To rob those computers?

Please, babe, it's just a few computers. It's not worth falling out over.

There's three months' rent there for our flat.

What an idiot I've been.

You're nothing but a lying thief.

You're going to be a competitor, don't you?

Well, do as the bar is decided that she's leaving us.

Why? I thought we were getting somewhere with Dennis. Yeah, I know. Look, I

tried to talk her out of it. There's a boy on the scene, so she's gone, just

like that.

God, OK, I'll talk to her mother after the tournament.

This is Mrs Carol Barry you're talking about.

Yeah, it is.

Like she was going to turn up anyway.

Don't pretend like you're not disappointed.

You were well into her.

No, I'm not.

OK, everyone, and welcome to the Waterloo Road Inter -School Chess

Now, the teacher who organised all of this, Mr Budgin, sadly isn't very well,

he can't be with us, but I'm sure he'd be thrilled with the marvellous turnout.

So, if you're all ready, let's play.

Look, I'm sorry, babe. It all happened so quick. I just wanted to impress you,

you know, pretend I had some money and all. Just shut up! Look, when I leave,

all I get is a week's cash.

I just needed something to tide me over till I find a job. I won't go robbing

again, I swear.

I'm taking them back. No, you're not. Go on, then.

Yeah, you would do that, wouldn't you?

Of course not. Look.

What is going on here, Din?

Eh? When did you suddenly go all girl guide on me over a few knocked -off

I've changed, all right?

That is my school, and they're the school's computers, and they're going

They're still mine.

I am worth so much more than you.

You can shut the boot now.

And don't follow me, because I'll just call the police.

Finister! Please!

Hard to know Maybe if

I'd skim the stone

What are you doing with them?

I say I got them off someone used to now.

You don't realise you've saved my skin?

Just don't say it was me that brought them back, eh?

I thought he was off to Liverpool.

Not anymore.

He's a dirty lion's whole rag and well.

I fell for it, yeah.

Guess I'm just as thick as everyone thinks I am, aren't I?

Oh, babe, don't say that.

You will get over him, yeah?

Yeah, I know I will.

I learned some massive lessons.

I think I was given all the stuff for him.

You are an angel.

Thanks.

OK, you see?

All's well that ends well.

Come on, let's go and finish this delivery.

Thank you.

Do you have the elevator signing?

Maybe.

You okay?

Just leave it, yeah?

Fine.

Do you know what?

I liked you when you were Casey, but I don't like you like this.

You need to be true to yourself and stop acting like someone you're not.

I made an executive decision to speak with Grantley's head of year work. If I

don't do it, no one else will.

And I have to say, a lot of it is not a pretty sight.

Well, thank you very much. That's over and above the call of duty.

I don't think admin is Grantley's forte.

There's no more to the head of year job than admin.

That's why I want a crack at it.

I am hungry for more responsibility, Michael.

Check, Mike.

Good. You made the right decision.

I'm really pleased.

You're here to congratulate the champion, then.

I've been the champion for long.

The tournament's over.

You haven't played me yet.

You're on.

You're not calling me a bimbo and getting over there?

We could make this a recurring event. You know your way down to the hall.

All right, I'll see you in a moment. Thanks.

I'm the lot of my way for you and this school, and you're giving me nothing.

Look, I'm grateful.

Really? Because I'd say that you're avoiding me.

Why? We can talk about this later, OK?

Later never comes with you, does it, Michael?

I feel like such a prat.

I reckon you spoke too soon.

About my brains.

Perhaps. But we're still sure that we make a good team. No way.

Lorraine's never going to let me stay after this.

I practically held the door open so that bloke could rob us. Oh, come on now. It

was not your fault. She ain't going to see it like that.

I'd better go and tell her.

Why? I can't lie about it. So don't lie.

Tell her that the laptops have been delivered.

It's the truth.

In a way.

I wouldn't want to put you in a difficult position.

Oh, come on. I know how to keep a secret.

So do I.

Oh, sorry.

Come on

down if you want.

Not that good.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

So what happened to your act with a boyfriend?

I don't think so.

Checkmate.

You win.

She's blown me out!

Said she's not coming!

What's happened? You tell me.

She was the only thing keeping me going inside. She's all I've got.

You were supposed to be keeping your eye on her. This is your fault.

I don't know what you're talking about, mate.

She's doing something else.

Don't you get it?

Got to be.

Who is it? Don't be daft. She's well into you, mate.

She's cheating. She must be.

If I find out that you know, I will kill you.

Then I'll kill him.

Barry?

I've been looking for you everywhere.

Casey?

What's going on?

You look like a right lezzer.

I'm not a lezzer.

She reckons she's a lad. You know what kids are like. It's just a phase.

It's not a phase.

You don't sound like a lad.

You don't front like a lad.

You're not exactly double D up top, are you?

I'm confused.

I haven't seen a doctor about it.

Whoa!

She's having a sex change.

Serious.

Oh, my daisy, you're growing a pair.

Oh, come on, give us a look.

Please help me.

Come on!

I

still

look like a girl to me.

I think that doctor's taking the neck.

If I was you, I'd be asking for my money back.

That's Barry.

What? The debt money?

You collected it?

Well, it belongs to me now.

Just like that poxy little business of yours needs something to tide me over.

I'm sticking around till I get your sister back.

And you're gonna be helping me.

Okay?

Roll the dot. I've got your number.

Hit the jackpot underneath the cover.

It's intoxicating. You're like a drug, girl.

Grab a gas, wanna work for Keela.

Keela. Keela. Keela. Keela.

21.

I've done it. Just what I've done it. Never voted it.

25 for art design.

24.

Music, 22 for religious studies, I could go on, but... I think we'll be

retaining the current curriculum after all.

You know, I am fighting to keep this school open here.

Why do I feel like I'm having to fight off my staff too?

We all want the school to succeed, Lorraine. Good!

Because I want everyone pulling in the same direction here.

I'm sorry, Miss Donegan. I'm just so relieved to be a teacher still here.

Well, I said you should get a good night's sleep, Audrey.

Both Mr Hanley and Miss McCoy took voluntary redundancy today. What? You're

in a department of one.

I hope you've worked up an appetite.

I'm sorry?

Dinner. I'm doing my special chilli con carne.

We have cause to celebrate.

I'll tell you all about it.

Do you know, I'm really pleased you're here.

Bye, Sonia. Yeah.

See you tomorrow.

Oh, hello. I'm phoning about the advert in today's Telegraph.

Yeah.

Um, could you send me an application form, please?

Thanks.

Um, can I phone you back?

Thanks.

Christine.

Hi.

Look, I've been a bit on edge today, and I'm sorry.

Can I see a bit of dinner tonight?

Just the two of us?

Do you know something, Michael?

I can't tell you how much I needed you to ask me that.

Good.

I'll grab my stuff.

Robbie?

Robbie?

Don't call me that.

I'm not going to leave you until you tell me what the problem is. Can't you

what the problem is?

It's me, I'm a fake.

In what way?

I've been telling everyone that I'm a boy.

But that's crap and they know it.

I'm not a boy, I'm a girl.

Girl, boy, boy, girl. What does it matter?

I don't want to be dead.

Now, that is a nonsense.

Think about Mr Budgeon lying in that hospital bed, fighting for his every

because he knows how precious life is, as it is for you.

I'm sorry, sir.

I didn't mean it.

Anyway, what would the school team do if you weren't around? You'd be sunk.

I have this dream that...

A Liverpool scout will spot me.

And he'll tell the manager I'm the next Gerrard.

You don't have to be a boy to play football.

It's not the same.

Look at the Arsenal ladies, twice as good as the men. Three times.

Do you know what? I'm kicking myself here.

I don't know why I didn't set up a girls' football team again.

I'm going to do it, Robbie.

It's Katie.

I just want my name back.

I know everyone will be laughing at me, but... Well, you... Young, you don't

have to make any big decisions right now about who or what you are. If you want

Casey back, then that's fine.

If you want to change your name again, that's fine too.

It's nobody else's business but yours, right?

Right.

Well, we are going to set up this girls' football team.

Casey, you are going to be the captain.

And the first thing we're going to do is take on the boys.

Hey, I thought you were leaving back there.

She's got some good news for you there.

Why, what's going on?

It took some persuading work.

I finally realised what a lying, cheating scumbag Steve O'Dayley is.

Thanks, Sam.

Hey.

You two have a chat?

I'm binning off, Robin.

For now, anyway.

Never liked that name anyway.

Hey.

Are you going to see Mr. Butcher?

Yeah.

Tell him I'm sorry I didn't win for him.

Sometimes winning isn't everything, is it?

He's dead now.

I'm saying that.

Oi.

But I gave you 20 this morning. That was your last payment?

Well, to me anyway.

What do you mean? You're going to be paying someone else.

His name's Stevo.

Well, who's that?

A bit of advice.

Pay up on time.

I can't believe you was going to leave today.

Seemed like a good idea.

See?

People do that, don't they?

Things get a bit tough.

Staying there, sticking it out, that's the hard thing.

Rhiannon, man!

Pick your bag up!

Nearly brought me blooming net!

Tom, I'm just heading to the hospital. Can I keep?

I'm not going anywhere.

If you believe that, aren't you?

It's just not that easy, is it?

Trust.

I can't sit back.

And do nothing any longer.

I'd like to be a donor for Grantley.

I think for the first time in my life, I know exactly what I want.

What's that?

Death.

I'm going to go and check on Robbie.

We'll do this again sometime, yeah?

Don't go!

I can help you with your English essay.

And, um... And I'll...

What do you want?

I want to give you a bit of advice.

Yeah? What? Come here.

Closer.

Now, you stay away from my girl.

Stop.

I'll be watching you.

I want £1 .50 by lunchtime today. The rest we'll take care of. What, Ray?

You can come to plan.

Hey, George!

How are you?

How are you?

And who's your son, Philip Alder?

He's, um... He's proud, I guess.

Supported. Hey, babe.

Who do you think you are? I go out with whoever wants, when I want. It's not my

fault I've got more of a life than you.

So tell me if I've got nothing better to do than polish my halo.

I'm sick and tired of always being second best to everyone.

Not quite.

Are you telling me that you and Nicky are having a personal relationship?

I'm not telling you anything.
