Original subtitles

Your husband remains in a coma, Mrs. Butcher, and we've tried every treatment

possible. And now we have to discuss taking him off the ventilator.

From now on, we've got all the family you need with us.

And anything else, don't say it lightly.

She doesn't say it lightly.

You know, I bet that this is just the news that you've been praying for, isn't

it? So you don't have to go through with the transplant.

Kevin. I love you too.

Christine.

Can I help you?

Simon Loatley.

Your new deputy head.

I can't explain it, but for now at least, your husband's breathing on his

You again.

How did you get in?

I let her in.

Please get through, Lula.

We need this.

What about all this mess?

We're collecting for a present for when Mr Budgin comes home.

And we need to catch people at the gate.

Well, in that case... What's going on?

Hi, sir.

Lula, doesn't your mother feed you at home?

What, do you think we should get Mr Budgin as a present?

Being the guest of honour at a charity auction should be enough.

Yeah, but as it's Mr Budgeon, why don't you get him a DVD player for after his

op? It's going to be weeks before he's back on his feet again.

Thanks, sir.

Oh, he's the great man.

Yeah, he's excited that the doctors are letting him come home.

Pretend that he's not.

Do you think he's going to be OK coming to school tonight?

Yeah, well, worst comes to the worst. We can always arrange a tatter like link

up to the schoolhouse.

What, like they do in the Oscars?

He'd love that.

Hey.

Not a word about these.

The kids have been so brilliant, raising money for charity.

I thought we'd do something special for them for after the auction.

A bit of a thank you on Grantley's behalf.

He's always been a big kid about fireworks himself.

That is a brilliant idea.

Do you know, it is fantastic the way everybody's rallying around.

What a perfect time to break the news.

What news?

The kidney transplant.

You must be bursting to tell Grantley you're giving him a new lease of life.

Some of you have already met him, but let me formally introduce my new deputy

alongside Tom, Simon Lodley.

Simon will be speaking to staff and pupils today with regard to the new time

period. So you can all hit the ground running next term?

Quite.

Which brings me to the more pressing thing.

The oxen tonight.

Proceeds are going to Kidney Donation Trust. Obviously it's going to be a

special occasion, so no excuses.

I want everyone to contribute.

Contribute what, exactly?

Well, it's an auction, so you make a pledge.

Cook dinner for two, grow a moustache, do something.

And then we sell the pledge to the highest bidder. So, all pledges to Sonia

lunchtime, please. And the sillier, the better. It's meant to be fun.

And the senior management being silly, too? Is that just a pledge?

Wait and see, George.

Wait and see.

So, Mr Loseley.

What made you choose Waterloo Road?

The council.

Not exactly, Tom.

I could have taken a deputy post in a leafy suburb where middle -class parents

are killing each other to get into the catchment area.

Why on earth didn't you?

Easy. I want to get home every night and feel I've really made a difference.

It's true.

Well, you seem to have worn very well. No grey hairs yet.

Ah, don't be fooled. I've got a portrait in the attic.

I'm actually older than you are.

You're actually first on my to -do list.

Yeah? Yeah, I want to cut through any bad feeling over the deputy job. Your

will come.

You reckon?

Yeah. Hear me out.

There's a leadership course in Wales that's run by an ex -lieutenant in the

army. I think it'd be perfect for you.

I could have a word with Christine on your behalf.

I don't think so.

Simon, you want to check your facts?

Nicky was a captain in the army.

You all right, Tom?

Yeah.

Come on, then.

I need my money to buy liver to go in at tonight's auction. She's offering a

fitness workout.

Sorry, we're scared.

Come on. You're not a good for a few quid.

Don't encourage them, Kevin.

This is what our family has to deal with.

Scroungers after our hard -earned cash.

It's a good call, actually.

Yeah. The only present that I'll get to save is a coffin.

Mary, my head would like to see you in her office.

I was only having a laugh.

Good to see you're now a fully paid -up member of the Barry clan.

That's not what it's like. It'll be after our lunch money next.

Ignore them.

They're just jealous.

Auntie, big boy.

Rhiannon, did you give that job at the salon?

I don't start till next week.

Did everyone give him?

Yeah. Go on, then.

Kyle?

What's that?

Proper psycho.

What's he doing here?

Oi, Kyle!

Wait up!

What are you running away for?

Rhiannon Salt?

Don't you remember me?

Don't know. Maybe.

It's probably because I changed my hair. That's what it is.

So I take it you like cheese and onion, then?

In you go.

Sit down, Barry.

Miss Boston's given me the PRU reports for this year.

So this is a bust.

On the contrary, she thinks you've worked very hard.

I want everyone to start with a clean slate under my headship, so I'm taking

out of the PRU and putting you back in the classroom, if...

You're serious about getting your qualifications?

Really?

That's... That's good.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Can I... Can I go now?

Barry, one more thing.

You skip out of line, I'll be downing you like a tonne of bricks.

You agreed to this?

Yeah.

Just wondering what Michael would make of it.

Oh, Michael's not head anymore.

I am.

Did you hear Mr Budgen's come out with Homer?

Mr Clarkson's been helping out loads. You must remember Mr Clarkson.

Oh, God, I'm sorry.

He gave evidence against you, didn't he?

So, what were it like?

You know, being inside.

I don't want to talk about it.

You're not looking to cause trouble, are you?

I'm different now.

Honest. I swear. Can you let go of me, please?

Sorry.

Where do I go?

To enrol?

I've got a mate who works in the office.

She'll help us sort it out.

I'd have to help, but me hands are tied.

I can't enrol pupils.

And for future reference, I don't do baptisms, and I can't give out

either. Well, who does enrol people, then? Mrs Malgo.

Well, can you tell her we want to see her?

She's busy.

Sonia.

Mr Clarkson, this is... Kyle Stack.

You should be in class.

Kyle, we're wondering... Class.

Now.

You're coming with me.

That hurts.

Did you run away? Oh, well, I've done my time. So what are you doing back here?

You on some kind of vendetta, is that it? You're the one with the vendetta.

got nowhere else to go.

I want to come back to school.

It's a problem, but I've got this one.

Kyle Stack, ex -pupil, just got out of prison for ABH. I made a mistake.

I've done my time. I've been studying inside.

I want to get my exams and come back to school.

Um, you can't just bundle people off the premises.

We do not want this kid at this school. He's got a history of violence.

If I had a crossbow at another pupil, my son... I think we should take this to

Christine. Kyle?

Who's the one here?

Some people have stepped out of line recently.

And I'm here to keep an eye on them.

Eh?

I let my group think I was keen to get my exams, so she let me stay.

I'm out of the PRU.

And Rhiannon?

If they let you out, they'll let anybody out. You need to remind them who's

boss. That would be me, I think.

Sit.

Well, they said he was the leader of a knife gang and what to do. It all got

of hand. They were just kids.

But he's different now. Oh, so you knew him? Yeah.

What is that weird squeak I hear? Is it a mouth? A door with a faulty hinge?

A stress call from a dying world? Oh, no, it's Rhiannon. A girl who's had more

warnings than Hurricane Katrina.

She's talking about this new guy, sir.

Hard case.

He's got out of prison.

Looks like you've got a bit of competition there, Braille.

I have a new student.

Introduce yourself.

In French.

See?

He helped a gang infiltrate the school.

Tarek's sister was almost burnt to death. Then there was the incident with

crossbow. Why are we still talking about this? Yes, Tom. I've got the picture.

I trust Tom didn't think on this.

Count's back does not belong here.

Wait a minute.

He says he's here to learn, right? He says he's been studying in prison.

Does that count for nothing? The boy is a born liar. He's never been interested

in school.

Well, then we should at least find out why he's here.

He's travelled half the length of the country to get to Waterloo Road.

Isn't anyone curious about that?

My main concern has to be the safety of our people. Kyle comes from a very

difficult background.

He's damaged.

Things don't go right for him. He hits out. Ask Nicky Boston.

He attacks her.

Prison won't have changed that.

So what, we just kick him out?

What would you suggest?

Let's take him on.

Just for today.

It's clear he needs a safe environment, and I've got a track record turning

around boys like Kyle.

I'm good at it.

Just give me a day to get to know him.

Why don't you believe in second chances? To do what?

Fire another shot with a crossbow.

Tom, I don't have a son, but if I did, I'd find it very hard to forgive someone

like Kyle. Well, I do have a son, and I completely understand Tom's feelings.

Let's see what we're dealing with here. I'll track down his file and talk to the

probation officer.

And in the meantime?

Lecture him in a class, keep an eye on him, see what he's capable of.

But I'm making him your responsibility, Simon.

Of course.

Kyle!

They enrolled you, then?

Kyle, they enrolled you, then?

Shame your talent for mimicry doesn't extend to the language of Voltaire,

Can I have a quick word with the class, Mr Windsor?

La mia casa e la tua casa, Mr Loseley.

Everyone, this is Kyle Stack. I'd like you all to make him welcome.

More air.

Welcome to my world, Kyle.

Perhaps you'd like to introduce yourself in French.

Je m 'appelle Kyle.

Sorry, sir, I'll pick it up. I'm a quick learner.

Don't worry, he made a better fit of it than our other ingenue.

I'm just down there to the left, OK?

Kyle. Right.

I'm Buddy.

And this isn't right, Dale.

Don't go getting any ideas.

I've run things around here.

Hang on a minute. I haven't finished talking.

You blank me.

You blank me.

Maybe you're spending too much time in the PRU, Barry.

Big fish.

Little pond.

Sit down, please.

What are you standing there for?

Where do you want me to sit, sir?

Okay.

Now the exams are over, I've prepared a reading list.

I want you to recommend a book and tell your classmates what you like about it.

Any recommendations, Barry?

Lady Chatterley's lover, sir.

And who wrote that?

D .H. Lawrence, sir.

And what do you like about it, Barry?

The shameful exploitation of Nottinghamshire mine workers in the

century.

No, I watched it on DVD.

The bit where she and the gay... Try reading the book over the break.

Let your imagination do a little bit of work, eh?

And what have you been reading, Kyle?

Shawshank Redemption.

The Great Escape.

Huckleberry Finn.

Mark Twain.

Well, at least you know the author.

And you've read it?

From cover to cover, how did it end?

I copped the bit where Thalia gets shot and Jim won't leave him.

Even though Tom picked him.

We said there was no home like the raft, after all.

And what's so great about the raft?

I don't know.

It's something you can build with your own hands.

You can take it where you want to go. A prison cell?

Shut up, Barry.

So why didn't you finish it?

I lost it.

Well, thank you, Kyle.

Kyle's right.

It's a great book.

Imogen, your selection, please.

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte.

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.

I've made some men.

They join the same bit.

Good.

That's all he wanted.

Carl Stack.

Thanks.

Anything from the family?

No, well, his mum hung up on me, so I can only assume she doesn't want nothing

to do with him.

Never assume, Sonia.

Can you chase up the police officer again, please? Yeah.

What is Carl Stack doing here?

He wants to come back to school.

I'm just waiting to speak to his probation officer to see if we should

it.

He's not interested in school.

He's not here to do his exams.

Do you even know what he's capable of? He's here to cause trouble. If that's

case, he'll be out on his ear.

Was it Simon's idea?

No, Nicky, it was mine.

Look, I wanted you as my deputy head, you know that.

But Simon's here and here to stay, so maybe we should cut him some slack.

Take this.

Finish it.

Does he get there in the end, sir?

We're never quite sure where he's heading.

Finish the book.

And don't lose it. I didn't.

Have you thought about my proposition?

What's wrong with you?

You're nervous.

Something where the screws are.

Look, you're the man.

I'll show you respect out there. I don't want no trouble.

I've got work to do.

Don't give me that.

I can smell it on you.

Prison.

Come on then.

Let me see what you got.

Alright.

Well done in there.

With Mr Clarkson.

Thanks.

What happened in there?

Suits you.

What? Having your hair like that.

We have a problem.

According to his probation officer, Kyle's not the model prisoner he led us

believe. What do you mean?

He assaulted another inmate.

Wait a minute. If he was a risk, he'd never have got probation.

And we can't just dump him on the street. He banged someone's head into a

Simon.

We have to make sure he doesn't do that to one of our pupils.

He was different in class.

He was really trying to fit in. I think he wants to prove something to us. Let

me talk to him.

With respect, Tom, you're too close. Kyle's a vulnerable kid. He needs a firm

hand. And I can't give him that. I want this dealt with, right?

Simon, you speak to Kyle about this incident. I need facts.

I want a clear recommendation of what we should do with him.

Absolutely.

And, Tom, Kyle's not the only person in the school. We're supposed to be

celebrating Drankley's return. You pushed for it.

Maybe you should concentrate on that.

You all right, Tom?

Yeah.

Are you having second thoughts about Grant?

Second, third and fourth.

I'm terrified.

Maggie wants me to make a big announcement at the auction.

You don't have to do it.

Nobody would blame you if you backed out.

That's the other thing.

I'm being swept downriver by Kyle, stuck in his raft.

What do you want me to say?

That's up to you.

We just need to understand why you've come back.

I promised myself I'd study.

When I went to prison, I wanted to turn my life around.

The probation officer says that you assaulted another prisoner for no

I don't want to talk about it.

Listen, Kyle.

I want to help you, okay?

But I can only help you if you tell me the truth. We need to know what

He was picking on me.

Big guy in the wing.

Don't know why.

Didn't let me go into the library.

Said I did it to make him look stupid.

Then he said some stuff about my mum.

So I hit him.

So tell me about your mum.

Nothing to tell.

Doesn't want to know me.

You sure about that? I'm going to show her.

I'm going to get my exams.

And anybody standing in the way, don't tell anybody about my mum.

It's private.

Can I go now?

You all right?

I thought they were going to kick you out.

I was just chatting to Mr. Lowsley.

So what's he like, then, Mr. Lowsley?

He's okay, yeah. He's all right.

So what were you talking about, then?

What's this auction about later?

Oh, no, I said I'd put chairs out.

Don't go.

Stay with me.

What is it?

Whoa.

What's the rush?

Look, Kyle, I've been through some bad stuff as well.

And this place has really helped me out.

And it'll help you.

You can come if you want.

Testing. Mic check.

Mic check. One, two.

Testing.

What are you doing?

Sorry.

All right, guys?

Well, what needs doing, then?

It's all done, and we've got class in five minutes. What's the big deal?

You promised you'd help.

Well, how about with Kyle?

And he's new, and he needed looking after.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry.

Stop it.

Stop it.

I'm just having a laugh.

Can't you see everybody's just laughing at you?

Well, that's the point.

You're making a fool out of yourself.

Well, if you're so bothered about looking stupid, why don't you wipe the

lipstick off your teeth?

I mean, it's understandable.

You two all over each other.

Because you have been a bit of a caged animal, haven't you?

Let's get out of here.

I don't want to, Carl.

I thought you liked me.

I do like you.

I thought we were going to live in the schoolhouse together.

You've only just got here.

Oh, I get it.

You think I'm easy, is that it? I was looking out for you.

I've only happened to laugh at my mate.

I'm sorry.

I know.

I just think you should lighten up, Kyle.

Okay, so he's very guarded, but we made good progress.

And?

Well, he's obviously had a very difficult time in prison.

It seems the immediate trigger to the incident was his mother.

Who's defunct him? Yeah.

Yeah, he's plainly devastated by that. I must have salvaged the relationship.

And that's why you kept another prisoner?

There's clearly more to it than that, but it's day one and I didn't want to

too hard.

You don't look convinced, Tom.

No, uh... No, Simon's obviously made a connection with Kyle, but if Kyle's

bottling something up and we don't know what, it makes sense to get the full

story. Yeah, I agree.

And I have his trust. It's just a matter of time before I find out.

But if you want my recommendation now, I think we should approach the council

about offering him a place.

We're not there yet.

But time is short, so...

Simon, if you feel confident, carry on your work with him.

You happy with that, Tom?

Yeah.

OK, when you're ready, take your offerings round to the assembly hall,

Oh, sorry.

Thanks.

Could I have a word?

Of course.

Wow, that looks impressive.

When I knew this boy before, he could barely boil an egg.

Where on earth did you learn to bake like that?

At the kitchens.

Where?

Kyle will be able to come to the party tonight, won't he? Well, he deserves to,

all his efforts, but Mrs Mulgrew's decision.

Come on.

What can I do for you?

Well, it's actually about tonight, Maggie.

Are you sure it's wise to be making a big public announcement about Tom,

well, offering his... kidney for transplant.

Well, it's a wonderful thing that he's doing, so the sooner that Grantley hears

about it, the better. Yes, but it's also a very private matter.

And I was just talking to Tom.

Hang on a minute.

It was actually Tom's idea, this, you know.

What's he been saying? I just don't think it's right that he should feel

railroaded. Well, I just don't feel it's right for you to stick your nose in

other people's business.

Now, shoo!

Good afternoon, everyone.

For those that don't know me, I'm Simon Lowsley, your new deputy head.

Thanks for giving up your period six, especially now the exams are over.

Right, I've been working on the new timetable for next term and I thought

might want to contribute.

Five pounds, sir. Six.

I can see you're all ready for the auction. Have you made a pledge, sir?

Come to think of it, I haven't.

Anyway, look, this is important, OK?

I'm not sure you're in this group.

Buddy's here.

Oh, that's a shame.

I heard it was an opportunity for me to have a say in the future of my school.

I've given up a lot of valuable time to be here.

Well, it's a shame you couldn't get here on time. Take a seat.

Quickly.

Barry's right, though. This is a chance to take control of your future.

Make it better.

I'm aware that discussing the timetable doesn't sound like the most exciting

thing on the planet, but rather than talk detail, let's talk vision, yeah?

And let's, um, let's make it less formal.

Grab a seat on the sofa. If you can't get a seat, bring a chair over and let's

make a circle.

Sir, Mr Budgeon's going to be here soon and we've only got 20 quid.

Well, that's almost enough for a DVD player. Tom, am I forcing you to give

Grantley your kidney? Yes or no?

No, no, of course not.

I've got a clamp.

Because now's the time to see it.

Look, everything's fine. If Grantley wants my kidney, I can have it.

See?

Mr Clarkson is giving his kidney.

The least you lot can do is cough up. Shut up, Lula. Don't you ever learn?

He could die, you know.

Right. Who's going to kick off, then?

What would you like to happen next term?

Barry?

I'm looking forward to staying alive.

Well, I'm sure we'd all support that.

Because I am in school with a violent criminal.

Somebody who was banged up for shooting people with a crossbow. Look, we're not

here to dwell on the past, OK? We're here to talk about the future.

And Kyle served his sentence, and now he can take his place back in society.

So what was it like in prison, Kyle?

I don't want to talk about that, sir.

I said we're not here to dig up the past. We're here to look to the future.

he's been inside, though, sir.

We might all end up in there.

And we all know what goes in prison, don't we, sir?

All those big, tough guys.

Shut it!

Barry, that's enough. Kyle, calm down.

And your little mummy's boy routine wouldn't last five minutes inside.

Was this your idea? Why are you letting him do this? Kyle. Stop asking

questions.

Reading your book with your big blue eyes.

Right, guys, calm it down. Better get the guards there.

Little mummy's boy needs to be locked up.

That's enough.

Put it down. Kyle! Kyle!

Kyle!

Home, sweet home.

So you didn't bother tidying up for me?

The time you were spent in that coma, you're lucky I didn't sell you things at

the car boot.

You just sit there.

Let me do all the work.

Still got your uses, then.

It's OK, you know.

What?

To let it out.

You don't have to have an answer for everything.

I just feel so useless.

You're alive.

That's what matters.

You think that now, but how long is it going to be before you wish it?

Don't you dare say it.

Oh, I'm a shadow of the man I was.

You'll get better.

You know, Tom's been spending some time helping out while he's been away.

He's been worth his weight in gold.

Turn me back, you get a toy boy in.

Might have.

Seriously, though, it's full of surprises.

You just wait until you talk to him.

I've checked everywhere.

Didn't I expect her to learn the layout of my new school?

Well, it doesn't look like he's on site, but wherever he's hiding, he's still a

threat. He was provoked into attacking Barry.

You really think he's dangerous?

Well, you spoke to him, Simon. What do you think?

Thanks.

We've checked everywhere. He's not in the school.

Maybe we should keep looking.

I've notified the police and they've put out an alert.

In the meantime, we have to stay vigilant, but come on.

This is a special night for the school.

I'd better go and pick up Bruntley and Muggy.

I'll double -check downstairs.

Thanks.

Kyle?

Bradley, Maggie, are you ready? He's just having a kip.

He'll need his energy tonight.

Tom, you know I wanted you to make the announcement tonight at the do well.

I think you should tell him now.

Why what's up?

I thought that bringing him back home would remind him of what he's got to

for, but he's just upset with what he's lost.

And, well, your kidney.

It'll change everything.

If that's still what you want to do.

You know, Maggie, this is a really big deal for me.

But I've never been more certain about anything in all my life.

Currently?

Ah, Thomas Clarkson, I presume.

You've had us all sick with worry.

That was hardly my intention.

I thought you'd lost you there, mate.

I haven't recovered from a coma to drown in a welter of sentimentality. No, of

course not. No.

Margaret says that you've got something to tell me.

Right, well, um...

First, you need to take a couple of months to get your strength up.

And then I'm going to give you one of my kidneys.

Hopefully get you back to where you were.

We'll say something.

I understand that you're not going to throw yourself on your knees with

gratitude.

I appreciate your desire to help.

but I don't think you're in full possession of the facts.

It takes more than good intentions to become a kidney doctor. Yeah, tell me

about it. Well, you've been lying in your bed all these months. I've been

Look, I'm a match.

But there are hazards. I know.

And I've had counselling about all the risks.

But I'm 100 % sure that this is what I want to do.

So do I get a hug now?

No, Tom.

You're still a young man and I won't take it. I can't.

Shouldn't we be leaving soon?

I found this in the bathroom cupboard. Doesn't belong for any of ours.

Train ticket from Rochdale dated yesterday.

Kyle's stuck.

That's the last person I need hanging round right now.

So, how did it go?

Welcome,

everyone, to the Waterloo Road end -of -term charity auction.

our way of welcoming back one of our longest -serving and most popular

Grantley Budgeon.

Now, Mr Budgeon has been held up and will be with us shortly, so without

ado, let me introduce you to your host for this evening, Mr Kevin Chalk and the

man with the gavel, Conor Mulgrew.

Miss, I don't actually have any of the pledges.

Oh, well, just do your own first.

OK.

Um...

Mine is first, and I'm going to be offering six hours of help with your

homework.

Technically, that's plagiarism. Oh, but as it's for charity, George.

Where have you been?

I've been typing them out for you pair of cheeky monkeys.

Okay, can we start the bid with 50p?

50p, anybody?

50p, number five. Kyle made that.

That's very nice.

You're all happy to see the back of him, aren't you? Oh, no, Rhiannon, dear,

that's just not true.

Although there is a knock -on effect in terms of smaller class sizes.

You should all be out looking for it. Well, life goes on.

Wait, listen, listen.

Why are none of you doing anything?

We all need to be out looking for Kyle.

I hear a £6. £6, anybody?

I've never been guest of honour in real life.

Yeah, well, you won't have much of a life left if you don't have that

transplant. Perhaps we can find another dome.

Tom, can you just give us a minute, please?

Tom wants to do it. And who else besides Tom would let themselves be cut open

for you?

Oh. How I've missed your pulverising bluntness. The answer's still no. I'm

taking his kidney.

Where are we going? We need to sort this out.

So, why won't you do it?

I will leave this world beholden to nothing and nobody.

You what?

To kill a mockingbird.

No, no, no. You do not get to hide behind your books.

Not with me.

Not over this.

I have never owed anyone in my life apart from the occasional bookmaker. Can

imagine how awful it would be to see the man every day knowing that I owe him a

debt I can never repay?

He's young, strong.

Me?

I've been forced.

You are not.

You're just tired.

And you're scared. You're scared of going back in hospital.

You're scared of the op.

You're scared of hoping that things will get better.

Please don't give up now.

I've pinned everything.

Everything. On this transplant.

On getting you back.

Otherwise, you're right.

You're just a shell of a man.

You're going to die.

I really thought that I'd lost you.

The man that I love more than anything, anything in the entire universe.

I can't go through this again.

I can't.

Goodbye, my love.

Maggie? Maggie?

I found this.

I think it's Kyle's.

It could be anyone's run -on.

You know, your friends are worried about you.

Why don't you come inside?

He ran away.

And he didn't even say goodbye.

Came here because he needed help.

And now everybody's glad he's gone.

Maybe some people can't be helped.

You're on your own In a world you've grown

Few more years to go Tom Laggish is going to leave me.

Are you surprised?

Do you know what you've done to her?

Have you any idea what she's been through this past few weeks? Please,

I haven't got time, Grantley.

There's people out there that can be helped.

But unlike you, an ungrateful, pig -headed old man who's determined to

life away.

You couldn't care less about the people he destroys along the way. I can't live

without her.

Well, then I'm not your best option, Grantley.

I'm your only option.

Then, perhaps under the circumstances,

I might see my way clear to granting you this...

this honour.

Thanks, Tom.

We'd better go and find Maggie before she starts divorce proceedings.

So!

So, before we move on to our guest of honour, we move on to our final pledge.

Timothy Barry.

A one -hour massage with aromatherapy oils.

What do you wear?

Oh, just a towel.

Yeah, she means you wear just a towel.

Ten pounds.

Yeah, going, going, gone. Sold.

It's for me.

Oh, you can't do that. You're the auctioneer.

I just did.

Excuse me, George.

Let's go out there now. The auction's over.

I'm talking to Maggie.

Trust me, it's important.

Listen, there's something else.

Kyle stashed his bag at the schoolhouse.

He's got his mum's letters, everything he owns in the world inside.

There's no way he'd leave without them.

He's here somewhere, I'm sure of it.

Then you better find him.

Hey, you're missing the party.

I'm not really a party girl.

So what do you think we should call it?

Call what?

The Waterloo Road girls' team are starting next year.

Wanted some input from my captain.

It just seemed important to you both that I said yes.

And it is just a kidney, after all. That's right, I'll get you home.

Ladies and gentlemen, our guest of honour, Mr Grantley Budgeon!

Well,

if it isn't wise that I'm back from the dead.

Apparently the lunatics have taken over this home.

So glad you approve.

I know Mr Budging can seem a bit miserable in class, but at the

we've seen a whole new side to him.

He even taught me poker.

And he's taught me about wine.

And he taught me the accumulators on the horses.

I must

confess to feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

which I think may in part be due to my medication.

But I would like to take this opportunity of thanking Mr

Clarkson for donating one of his

own kidneys in order that I might be eternally grateful to

him.

Kyle, it's Tom Clarkson. I need you to come back inside.

You, stop there.

Okay, Kyle.

But I just want to talk.

I'd have killed Barry if you hadn't stopped me.

I can't go back.

I can't.

And the total is £471 .43.

A magnificent effort, and please, a big thank you to our hosts this evening,

Kevin Shock and Conor McGrew.

It's a DVD player for after the operation.

It's only a cheap one.

Mr Clarkson said that you won't be able to tell the difference.

Oh, I see. Thanks.

Where's Tom? I saw him at the bar.

He's checking for a girl.

OK, well, do you want me to get on with it?

Yeah, that would be great.

I'll bring everyone out in a minute. All right.

They took me to the toilet.

They put a bag over my head so I couldn't see.

Then afterwards... Well, there was no afterwards.

I was the mummy's boy.

OK, you lot, calm down.

We've all seen fireworks before.

Not too close.

Kyle?

Kyle!

I'm going to get to him! I'm the only one you'll listen to!

Everybody stay calm and quiet.

Please, please.

I'll go up there.

You stay out of sight.

Let Tom handle this.

We have an incident on the roof of Waterloo Road.

I got you wrong.

Kyle.

Look, you've turned things around.

You've changed. So what?

Sometimes things go wrong. It's nobody's fault. Look at me, Kyle. Look at me.

I'm going to make you a promise, OK?

Now, this is the worst day in your life. Like, right here, right now, the very

worst day.

But this is the day that you can take control.

Look, you've already taken the first step.

It's going to be tough.

But I can help you now.

I can see it in you.

I didn't see it before.

But I can see it now.

I'm going to be with you.

Every step of the way.

Everybody stay where you are.

Yeah, it's ambulance.

Waterloo Road.

Tom.

What a kind of skull.

Don't stay.

Keep talking, I said. Don't just... Come on, just keep talking, OK?

Tom, stay.

Stay with me.

Come on.

I need you.

We all need you, Tom.

Just... Just...

Come in.

You okay to do this? Because I'd be happy to.

Just wanted you to know I've spoke to the council and I've got your back.

Good morning, everyone.

This is to be the last day of term, but there will be no classes today.

We are here to remember Mr Clarkson, who died yesterday.

Teaching was never a job for him, it was a calling.

A calling that drove him to put everything, every fibre on the line for

every day.

And that is how he died.

Risking his life to save a pupil.

Doing the job he loved.

Mr Clarkson believed in each and every one of you.

He always fought your corner, went that extra mile for you all.

I guarantee as long as there's a school called Waterloo Road, Tom Clarkson will

never be forgotten.

Now it's up to you to keep his spirit alive.

I ask you to honour him and what he stood for. You work hard.

Look out for each other.

And be the very best you can be.
