Original subtitles

You've no idea why I bought them off the theme.

Maybe it's about me going to America.

Barry, are you jealous?

I hope you don't mind, but we're using your visit as a fundraising opportunity

for Pacey. Yeah, that's cool.

I tell you, we've not done too bad on the raffle.

And you should want an aid on the snack.

This is amazing.

That Pacey will be made.

I'm just so wound up about the wedding.

Is that really all you can think about?

Are you deliberately trying to undermine me? It seems your plan to discredit me

has worked.

I got the letter from your future father -in -law this morning, bringing the

head teacher interview forward. You might think I was about to throw in the

towel, but you're in for a hell of a fight.

What is going on? I've got an interview to prepare for.

Well,

don't just stand there, man. In you come.

It's all yours.

Just came to wish your mum good luck with her interview.

She doesn't need luck. She's got it in the bag, haven't you?

You look great, by the way.

Thanks.

Shame I'm nervous as hell.

You'll be fine. You've been doing the job all last term anyway. That's because

Michael insisted.

This time they have a choice.

You mean Mr Lowsley?

And others.

You OK?

Well, you know someone from the PTA sits in on the headteacher interviews?

My mum's on the PTA.

Your mum's on the interview panel?

It's not her decision. She can implement it, though.

Sorry, Imogen, but your mum and Mr Ben... Sally doesn't hate you, she...

be fine. Just believe.

Yeah. Believe.

It's so amazing, isn't it? I know.

Imagine a house all paid for.

Oh, my God!

Sis!

How you doing, Sally?

Holding up OK?

It's all a bit nuts, this, isn't it? No, no, not at all.

Not sure I'd want a house bought for me. Flight tickets, one thing, but this?

It's a wedding gift, and it's just a deposit. You'll be paying the mortgage.

Welcome to the family.

You make it sound like we're the mafia.

We're walking the park by comparison.

She's just trying to wind you both up. A place like this goes with a new job.

I need to get it first.

Aye. You've got a great TV, a good track record.

You're not going to let me down now, are you, son, eh?

No, no, of course not.

Twinkle, come up to the head and see. We've got his and her matching things in

the office.

Amazing. Thanks.

Twinkle?

Hey, kid.

I'll pick you up after school and we'll have a drink at that airport.

It's going to be dead strange without your babes, I think.

I'll have to pound your water with these gates.

She's only gone for a term.

Yeah, I know. You know what I mean?

Fuck are you, eh?

You're grown up. A barry off to the States.

All expenses paid.

Come on, you.

See you.

I bet your dad's thinking about what we could do with all that cash.

Oh, shut it. At least my girls have done me proud.

She's only going to America.

Yeah? And I never thought in a million years I'd want to mind to do that.

Those dickheads.

Do you want to be in with me? You've got to earn it.

Name him.

You say Stevie.

Dufferhead. Weird or right?

Right. Prove it.

Hey, stutter boy.

Didn't you hear me, you little freak?

Get lost.

Am I being off?

I didn't have that.

Stevie, where are you actually going, please?

Nice wife.

What did you do that for?

That's more like it.

Got you to the tongue.

Mum, I can't be here. I can't go in.

Hey, Simpsons. I spoke to the course leaders in Miami last night and

everything's set, so... How are you feeling?

Oh, life's just fine. Let's run all the way out.

A bit nervous, if I'm honest.

You'll be fine when you've settled in.

Of course you will. What do you mean, of course?

Listen, we've organised a little bit of a presentation for later on.

What sort of presentation?

Well, we thought we'd get together some friends, present you with your money and

send you off in a blaze of glory.

Yes! Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

Thank you, Darren.

No way, that's well and bad, isn't it? Well, we're not going to let you go

without a bit of a fuss, are we?

I'm here, love.

Where are you?

I'm over here, Mum.

What are you doing in there?

Mum, I can't be here.

You can, Stevie.

You've got to try.

I'm not putting up with it.

Simon, you look very smart.

Oh, thank you. You too.

This term has been very difficult for both of us.

Well, it's what are under the bridge.

Yeah. Are you OK? You seem a bit on edge. Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. It's just

with the wedding and everything.

Well, exciting times. Yeah. Yeah. So, today is a level playing field, yeah?

May the best man win.

Or woman.

I'd like to speak to Mrs Mulgrew.

I'm Avril Mack, Stevie's mum.

Hey, have you got an appointment?

No. I don't need an appointment.

My son's being bullied and I want to talk to someone.

Now. Stevie didn't want to come into school today, but I insisted.

Then they have a go at him before he even makes it through the door.

And you lot go on about anti -bullying.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry to hear that, Stevie.

I'm guessing you're not about to name names.

These kids are making his life hell, and I've had enough.

You know Stevie has problems with his speech. It makes him a target.

And we have support in place for that, but... Well, that doesn't stop those

having a pop at him, does it?

Never mind what's in place. What are you doing about that lot?

Mum. No, it's gone on long enough.

Mrs Mack, we will investigate this. Mr Loseley is the best there is at dealing

with these issues.

Really? Is that before or after he's fiddled with his phone? I'm sorry. I

apologise. Don't worry. We can sort it out.

Stevie, could you wait outside with Sonia? We'll be out in a minute.

Thank you, Mrs Mack.

Look, I'll take it from here.

If you could just head back the glass and hand these out, please.

Mr. Loseley, have you got a minute?

I'm a bit busy right now.

Well, I won't keep you.

I'll see if you want to wait in there.

Sorry.

It's just... Sue, that house was a bit of a surprise, you know?

Good surprise, I hope.

I just want to get this interview out of the way. Well, I've got something that

might help.

I didn't have a chance to give it to you at the house, and why not probably see

you again before your interview?

It's a crystal.

Mum gave it to me before she died, and it's for luck.

Oh, right. OK.

Thanks.

What do I do with it?

Just stick it in your pocket.

Right. OK.

How's it going, lovebird?

Great, yeah. We went to see the new house this morning.

Wow. You two don't hang about, do you?

Talk about nesting instinct.

You'll be babies, mate.

You ain't got a little bun in the oven already, have you? No. Definitely not.

Look, can we not talk about this now?

Please.

Anyhow, let's get on.

Sue, now's really not the time. Seriously.

Right, then.

What are we going to do with you, eh?

With me?

Yeah, sorry, it's just a figure of speech.

I mean...

Look, Stevie, to be honest, there's not an awful lot we can do today.

No, sir.

No, cos it's the last day, so it might be best if you can try and keep your

down and then we can start afresh after the break.

Next term?

What?

They have a go again?

Sir?

Sorry.

You're right.

I tell you what, I've got a bunch of stuff to talk this morning, so why don't

meet after lunch and we can have a proper chat then?

Yeah?

Yeah, straight after the lantern bell, I promise.

Hey, hey, you know me, right?

Look, if you get any more grief, just, uh... Just try and ignore it, you know?

Anyway, off you go.

I've got to remember to elide the...

Ah.

Good morning, Mr. Mac.

Good of you to join us.

Quick as you can, please.

Anyway.

The Yanks are going to love you.

I'll feel it in my waters.

Not that they're going to understand a word you're saying because you talk to

your flashy dozy gal.

Yeah, that was great.

Oh, please, kill me now.

Please, now, please.

What's going on?

We're recording messages to showcase you.

They're making right idiots of themselves.

We're going to show them at the presentation.

Will you do on me?

Oh, I don't think so.

Well, that's a shame.

Because I got you a card and a prezzie for tomorrow as well.

Oh, thank you. That's so kind.

So, does that mean that we could get the rest of the lesson off? No, Kevin.

But I will film a message for Casey.

Thanks, miss.

Il y

a

combien d 'élèves?

None by the time he finishes. We'll all be dead.

Excuse me.

Ow!

Are you all right, Lisa?

Steve, he just threw something at me.

Dead? See? He even admits it. No.

Any more stunts like that, Lisa, and I'll put you on report for next term.

that sound?

You can't do that!

Try me. But it was him! And there we go. You're on report for the whole of next

term.

I'll get you back for that.

Morning. Ready for the onslaught?

I can't say I enjoy interviews much.

Don't mind them.

Can't help feeling this place needs a fresh start.

Really? Someone new entirely?

Not completely. Just someone to blow away the cobwebs.

Look, I've got a few minutes. I'm back in a moment.

Oi! Loser!

Happy now?

Eh, not so fast.

You owe me.

Owe you?

Nothing. I'm on report because of you.

Tough. Your own fault.

Your own fault.

Stop it.

I can't believe you just did that, you little rag. Hey, hey, hey. I don't think

so. Do one.

We deserve that.

Don't you start.

How long have I got to do this for?

Oh,

sick, come on. Hey, what's going on? Where did you get that?

I found it.

On the floor in one of the classrooms.

On the floor?

Yeah.

Well, it's mine, so please give it back.

Now!

Oh.

Stevie, now is really not a good time. Can we just talk at lunch, yeah?

Robert, everything all right?

I was worried about you. You disappeared sharpish this morning.

Yeah, yeah, I'm just really focused on the interview. Yeah, I need you at the

top of your game today.

I'm fine, honestly.

Let me at them. Remember what I said, the three P's? Yeah, performance,

principles, passion.

Good luck.

End of term? Can only mean one thing.

No more work!

No. Reading. For the holidays.

Have you got a minute?

I'm in a class. Is it important?

Yeah.

Like, times about 100.

Right. Ray Allen, could you hand these out, please? I'll be right back.

We're breaking the rules, it's fine.

I disregard this kind of problem all the time.

It's not as if they're gonna kill anyone. If there's no victim, then

crime.

Okay. Everything okay? No.

Casey's account has been cleared.

Sonia got a call from the college, and the money hasn't been transferred.

They had an enrolment fees weeks ago. Yeah, but maintenance and accommodation

was due today.

The college has said if it's not paid today, then Casey can't go.

What do we do?

We have to get her some money now.

You see to your class and I will call the police.

Oh, do we tell Casey? Oh, we have to.

You all right, mate?

You all right? Yeah, I'm fine, thank you.

You might want to wave on your happy face then.

Today's supposed to be a good day, isn't it?

Not with our case jetting out of here.

Barry?

Anything you need to tell me?

About me?

No.

I don't think so.

It's for you, or have you forgotten everything?

Well, I'm probably not as on top of people's stats as I should be, but... I

meant this.

A couple of fifth years found it on the floor.

If you didn't like it, you should have just said... No, no, I do like it, I do.

Simon, are we okay?

Yeah, yeah, of course.

Let's put this on. Do you love me?

You haven't said so in ages.

Haven't I? I need to know.

Now? Yes, now.

I pushed you into this. Quite the bridegroom, really.

Hey, listen. No, you listen to me. I know what it's like to be sucked into

something that makes you unhappy.

I am a rubbish, unhappy teacher.

And I'm only doing this job because my dad didn't approve me being a flight

attendant.

I won't do that to you. I don't want you to do something that makes you

miserable.

What are you saying?

What I'm saying is... I love you to bits.

But I don't want to marry someone that doesn't love me back, so... If you want

out, you should say so now.

Do you?

Sue.

Sorry.

Now's not a good time, Stevie.

I was just waiting. It's really not a good time. Sue.

Sue, wait.

You... Roman. Look, not now, Stevie, all right?

There you are. Look, it's about this.

Don't care.

I'm on your safe.

Shave my life.

Shave it. What's the matter with you, Stevie?

Come on!

Get your hands off me!

Right, get up!

Go back home!

What's happened?

We have a problem with the money for Katie's trip.

What sort of problem?

It's gone.

All of it. We think someone accessed the bank account and stole it.

What? Well, obviously the bank are investigating.

And hopefully we'll have some answers soon, but... I'm not going, am I?

We're doing everything we can.

Well, you best pull your fingers out, cos she is getting on a plane today, end

of. Look, the thing is, the college has said... I don't give a monkey's what the

college has said.

I'm sick of you not making false promises to my kids.

Mum... Look, they need to be told, and if I get my hands on the thieving

that did this, I will kill him. And you're not helping.

I need to do something.

There's nothing you can do.

And kicking off isn't going to help.

I'm not going, all right?

Would you leave it?

Hey, I'll come with you.

No!

Back off!

All of you.

I want to be on my own, all right?

What's wrong, kiddo?

I'm not going to America.

What do you want about?

Toff. Whole thing.

Do you want to talk about it?

Come on.

Nothing ever goes right for me, does it?

Don't say that.

I wanted this so bad.

Do I deserve this for being a Barry?

Aye.

This is not your fault.

Play in the school.

If you want to blame anyone, blame Boston for bigging you up like that just

knock you down.

Blame the lowlife who stole your money.

You can't trust this lot of your case.

They're full of it.

But you'll be all right, though, eh?

You stick with me.

How did you know?

Know what?

That the money had gone.

Because you told me?

No, I didn't.

I just figured, you know.

It's always about the money, isn't it?

Barry.

Did you take it?

Don't be soft, Case.

It weren't me. Liar!

You know how much I wanted this.

Have you any idea what we could do with nearly ten grand, okay?

Don't you?

You can't stand a thought that someone's doing better than you, can you? No.

See, because I want to keep this family together.

Something you clearly don't care about.

How selfish.

I'm sad, Casey, but... I'm sad?

You have no idea.

Excuse me? I think you know me.

But you don't.

None of you do.

I'm okay. No.

You had to push it, didn't you? Make me believe in something that just doesn't

happen for kids like me.

Well, thanks.

Thanks for nothing.

You know, you've ruined my life.

I hate you.

Cooler now, Casey.

Here you go.

All right.

You need to sit down and think things through.

I'll do you some good to clear your head.

I don't need to think anything through, all right?

You okay?

Do I look okay?

Sorry. Really bad day.

What are you doing here anyway?

Kicked off.

Good.

It's about how you stood up for yourself.

Not really.

I missed.

I missed her loosely.

You decked the teacher.

Nice one.

What about you?

I thought you were gone.

So did I.

You wish I was.

What's that?

It helps, you know. Well, sometimes.

Talk about the dog.

From my dad.

Well, that's good news, isn't it?

You two knock it on.

He's coming back.

And you don't want him to?

What are you going to do?

You should talk to your mum.

And Mrs Mulgrew, if it's bothering you that much.

Is that what you would do?

Well... I'm not you, but... Yeah.

Yeah, I'd tell.

I'm sorry, I messed up.

I thought you had it under control, Simon. We told Mrs. Mike we'd sort

out. I know, I know, and I promised Stevie I'd have a proper chat with him

lunch. What, and he didn't want to?

No, he did. That's why he was in the canteen. Only me and Sue were... Anyway,

took my eye off the ball, all right? That's probably part of the reason why

upset.

Is his mum coming in?

On her way.

Well, look, let me speak to her, OK? I can explain.

No, it'll be better coming from me.

Stevie's the one you should be speaking to.

Yeah.

Stevie, I know you're angry, and you have every right to be.

Yeah, two rights you have. Yeah, all right, Katie.

I kind of hope we can put this behind us.

Move on. What do you reckon?

I messed up, all right? I made a promise, and I went back on it. I

have done that.

I thought I could trust you.

I'm truly sorry.

Really, I am. I let you down badly.

I'd like to try and make it up to you, though, if you let me.

You should go get your mum, yeah?

Come on.

It must have been self -defence.

Apparently not. He lashed out at a fellow pupil and managed to hit Mr.

in the process.

Mrs. Mack, could I talk to you for a minute?

I really don't see what there is to talk about.

Mrs. Mack, it sounds as if Stevie is

angry about something. I wondered if you had any idea.

Why would I?

I wasn't here. I left them in your care, remember?

I just wondered if there was anything else.

Something at home, perhaps.

So now this is my fault? No, not at all.

Do you think... Blame yourself for...

No, I... And before you start, that

doesn't make me a bad mother.

Well, that's what you're thinking.

You teachers are all the same. No, we're not.

I have no room to talk about parenting. Just because I'm a teacher doesn't mean

to say I know any more than you do.

It's not easy being a single mum, you know.

Yeah, I do know.

It's just me and my son Connor at home, and I have the war wounds to prove it.

Then you should know how this feels.

What if this was your son hurting?

What would you do about it?

Whoa, whoa!

I'm going to smash something.

Why is it always the kids like Casey that get the raw deal?

Isn't there anything the bank can do?

Not today.

Maybe it's an event.

This box is so barbaric.

The training camp will hold her place, or won't they, until the money comes

through.

She's going to lose everything she's worked for.

Unless... Unless what?

I'm sorry to pull you out of class, Connor, but it's important.

What's the matter?

Is that an interview?

No, no, I just need you to have a chat with someone.

Open and honest. No holds barred, OK?

About what?

You'll see.

Mrs Mack.

Avril.

This is my son, Connor.

Mrs Mulgrew, are you sure this is a good idea?

Yes, I am.

I know this is a bit unorthodox, even by my standards, but, Connor, I need you

to explain to Stevie what we've been through.

What are you doing? I don't think there's any need.

I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important.

Yeah, but I don't know what you mean, been through in what way.

I mean about my alcoholism.

Mum, Christine... It's fine, really.

Believe me, my son has seen things.

Not that I deserve to see.

But he is the only reason I got through it.

Because eventually we were truthful with each other.

I need them to know that we coped. That things worked out.

Okay.

What about it?

How bad did it get?

Pretty bad.

I couldn't understand why she chose the drink over me.

And I guess I thought it was my fault.

So what did you do?

I would self -destruct.

And I did some pretty bad things.

It's a place that I would never like to... to go back to, but I guess... I

I learned that it's never too late to change.

How? By talking about it.

It's a nightmare, huh? But it does... It does work.

And now I'm really proud of her.

Which is why, Stevie, if you need to talk to us or your mum about anything,

you can.

Listen. Listen to that, mate.

It doesn't get any harder than now.

It's... Dad.

What about him?

He says he's coming back.

What?

And you don't want him to?

No.

He...

It was all my fault. I got angry and...

Oh, no.

Never.

None of it was your fault.

guys at the moment

Christine, it's me.

We're back on. We need to get everyone together.

Yeah, yeah.

I know.

I've got to hand it to you. That took some guts.

Yeah, well, we're good at dealing with hard times in my family.

No, Christine, the way you just laid your heart on the line like that.

I can't even guess how hard that must have been.

And I can't ever imagine being able to do that myself.

You know, when you first started, I thought, he won't last five minutes, the

kids will chew him up and spit him out.

But then I saw how you were with him at setting up the apprentice scheme and

then with the junction.

That was great.

What happened, Simon?

All the ambition?

Teaching is a gift and you've got it.

Don't blow it.

You better get going.

Good luck, Simon.

Good luck.

Mr. Lowsley.

Please come in. Come in.

Good to see you. Take a seat.

What is all this about?

What? What are you doing here? Boston called me back in. Why?

What for?

Said it was good news.

I don't know. One minute we're on, next we're off. I just think there's a mess

in our case here about now.

Obviously, it's a great asset that you're familiar with the school without

overly tied to the current leadership, wouldn't you say?

Sorry, how do you mean?

Well, there are, I'm sure, things you'd like to improve. Perhaps you'd like to

tell us about those.

Not really.

Take your time.

We understand that you're nervous.

No, no, I'm not nervous.

I'm just not the man for the job.

Not the man for the job?

I'm sorry for wasting your time, everyone.

I'd like to withdraw my application.

Performance, principles, passion.

Words synonymous with Christine Mulgrew.

You're endorsing Mrs Mulgrew, given her history?

You know, Christine's not perfect.

But who is it?

And anyway, this job isn't about perfection, is it? It's about instinct

heart.

And she's got both in space.

And what you call her history, well, it's actually life experience.

Something she's prepared to use for the good of the pupils.

I thought you wanted this job.

Not like this.

Excuse me?

What was that about?

I want to stay in the classroom.

I want to learn.

And if I ever reapply, I want to be considered on merit.

Not because I might be the son -in -law of the LA head.

What about everything we've talked about? We're different, Robert.

I'm sorry if I've misled you, but I won't be bought.

I don't want the house.

Hey, the house was Sue's idea. She was the one who wanted to buy you.

She wanted that, not me.

Yeah, it's no wonder, isn't it?

Because she's got no confidence of her own.

Because you forced her into a career she doesn't enjoy and shouldn't be in. I

mean, who does that?

Who would do that to their own daughter?

Oh, you think she should have stayed being an air stewardess? If it makes her

happy, yes.

What kind of father are you, anyway? How dare you criticise me? And how dare you

show me up in front of that stupid mob?

And which duck -up mob is that, exactly?

I'm sure Sue will be interested to hear about your change of heart.

Right? Hey, Case.

What did you say we're getting with that presentation of yours?

Well, there's no point moping around here all day.

You've got a flight to catch.

The bank came through.

Your money's been reinstated.

What?

I take it that your bags are still packed.

But I don't understand.

Don't worry.

The bank sorted it. That's all that matters.

So you're coming or what?

I told.

Good on you, mate.

Come on, love.

What's that all about?

Nothing.

Shouldn't you be at your interview?

This is more important.

No, Christine, it's not.

You're doing an amazing thing.

Thank you.

Good luck, Casey.

Why did Mrs. Milger say that?

There's nothing important.

Come on.

Casey going to America isn't just her dream come true, it's been everyone's,

you guys have raised over £9 ,000 to thank you so much.

And let's hear it for Casey Barry!

I don't get it.

Where did the money come from?

You never did.

It was worth every penny.

Casey,

this

is for you.

You're all right, Casey.

I'm going to miss you now.

I hate goodbyes. You think I'll be good at it by now.

Still, good on you, Grace.

You're ace.

I'm going to miss you.

Go, girl.

are going to love you.

I'll feed it in my waters.

But not that they'll understand you because you talk too fast, you doozy

Well, I have to say I'm disappointed.

One walks out, one doesn't show up.

Oh, I'm not so sure about that.

Something more important to attend to, Mrs. Mulgrew?

Please. Well, we have been waiting over half an hour. We have to be fair to

everyone. Which is why we'll hear you out.

Thank you.

All right, our kid.

Where's the thought?

The truth?

I'm dead proud of you, you know.

My family is the most important thing to me.

They're all I've got.

And I will be lost without them.

But I've always done my best for you.

Put your face like...

A lesson to us all.

A proper inspiration.

And I just wish... Mine didn't come good, did they?

Yeah, of course it did. You put that money up, didn't you?

Because you're the star.

Nobody's ever done anything like that for me before.

I just want the best for you, Katie.

You're going to be brilliant.

Besides, I'm not going to spend it on designer handbags or shoes, am I?

It's a shame everyone's not like you.

He's right behind you.

May something of your life.

What a beautiful speech, Barry.

I'm actually quite choked.

What a lucky sister I am.

But... But it's all lies, isn't it?

All of it.

Every word he said.

Are you all right, Kate?

My money.

The money that you all raised for me.

Stolen by him.

My brother.

The brother that loves me so much.

Stole it.

Can you believe that?

He didn't, did you?

What are you on about?

You've got the money.

You're going to America.

What's your problem?

Yeah, I am.

But only because someone cares for me more than you do.

Someone who put that money up out of their own pocket.

I have no idea what you're on about.

It was you, wasn't it? No.

We want confident pupils at Waterloo Road.

Strong wills.

Independent minds.

Pupils who can face challenges themselves.

I won't lie to you, there are better headteachers than me.

More qualified.

Less emotional.

But I know I can do the job.

And since I took over as acting head...

I swear I have never wanted anything so much in my entire life.

To continue what we started and to make a real difference to the students.

Do you admit to personal issues?

Is that relevant?

No, I think it is.

It's fair to say I've made mistakes.

But I'm not going to hang my head in shame.

I'm not proud of some of the things I've done, but I've come through it.

And I am proud of that.

Am I filled with hope for the future?

Yes. Do I know how hard life can be but problems can be overcome?

Definitely.

And will both those things help our students overcome their problems and

their dreams?

You bet.

I think that answers your question, Mr Bain.

Thank you, Christine.

We'll be in touch.

Thank you.

For the new flesh and blood.

But that's just it.

That's why I did it.

For us.

For the family. You did it for yourself.

Where's the cash now?

It's safe.

Hang on a minute.

I just think.

No more worries.

This will put us on our feet.

It's nearly ten grand.

You betrayed your sister.

I always knew you had a black heart for this.

Let me get the money back.

And you're going to hand yourself in.

Mum, please.

I want him to give the money back, but I don't want anyone else in this family

in prison.

Oh, it's too late for that.

Oh, please, don't do this.

Mrs Berry?

She deserved a rotten hell.

But don't do this, Peter.

I'm going to give you one last chance.

I'll make it up to you.

No, you won't.

Because I want you out of my life.

And theirs.

You don't mean that.

I've never been more serious about anything in my entire life.

Just go before I change my mind.

For everything, miss.

Are you okay?

No, no, I can blame them with.

You better go.

Be amazing, Casey.

You too, miss.

See what's weird.

Dad,

have you seen Simon?

How did his interview go?

Um... I'm afraid Simon walked out on the job.

Why would he do that?

He had some sort of a tantrum of conscience, a road to Damascus

Obviously, I think everything's changed.

He said he doesn't want the house.

And what about me?

Does he still want me, Dad?

I don't know, though.

I don't know.

I've been thinking.

You know I said I'd sort things out for you next term.

Well, maybe we could have a chat over the holidays instead. I mean, only if

you'd like.

That would probably be good.

We're out of school now. You can call me Simon.

And you know that right hook you gave me in the dinner hall?

I'll let you have that one.

You've got the same hair.

The job's yours if you want it.

Really?

Yeah, of course I do.

You should know Simon withdrew.

What did Mr Bean want?

Just to tell me that Tom...

Sorry.

I know.

No ending, right?

I'm losing sight of myself.

The kids.

You look lovely.

You don't look too bad yourself.

Well, special occasion.

Not every day you ask me to be your plus one.

Well, Connor didn't really fancy it, you know.

Touché. You shot a three sharpish yesterday.

Had me fearing the worst.

You were right to.

You are now looking at the official head of Waterloo Road.

Really? Excellent.

Double celebration.

Definitely calls for champagne.

Don't you think?

Sounds good.

How did Lord Lowsley take the news?

Knows out of joint, I imagine?

No. Seems he came with the reason I got it.

What time did they call this?

Five minutes after the last time you checked. Relax, they'll be here.

Won't they?

Yeah, of course they will.

I didn't push her away, did I?

Maybe I overdid it.

What, agreeing to buy her a house and then frog -marching your son -in -law

a job? Yeah, I'd say you overdid it.

You know you do it because you love us, really.

Cheers.

Champagne, anyone?

Why not?

And we need to raise a glass to the new head of Waterloo Road. You never did.

I did.

OMG! Congrats, Christine!

Well done, boss.

Simon pulled out, apparently. A bit of a stand -up for the book. The competition

saw him off. Well, there is only one person who deserves that job.

I'll raise a glass for that.

Cheers. Cheers.

And for the fact that Casey's money has mysteriously reappeared.

Barry returned it. Seems he's got a conscience after all. Well, I've heard

all now.

Excuse me, can I have your attention, please?

There's been a slight change of plan.

Sue and Simon send their apologies.

Not to worry, they're still getting married, but they've decided to do it on

their own.

So, they've eloped.

But they want us all to stay here and enjoy the party. Not least to keep Dad's

drink topped up because he's still paying.

As long as they're happy, that's fine by me.

The newlyweds.

Freedom. It's a brilliant feeling.

Everything ahead of us.

Who knows, we may still even have that chat about kids.

Steady.

We won't think it's time from now on.

In the arms of men.

In the arms of mothers.

In the arms of the play.

If I'd have known you had such a sexy colleague, I'd have called in at

Who do you mean?

Shall we get another drink?

Drink up.

You deserve it.

Shall

we

go on somewhere else?

Just going to...

Good

call, Christy.

Hey,

Connor.

I'm coming home.

Are you ready?

Mr. Loisley.

Yes, Mrs. Loisley.

Let's go then.

Your carriage.

Yeah, well, go on, get in there.

Yeah, go on, get in there.

Waterloo Road will return in the new year. While doing the right thing comes

with consequences for Glenn. Someone call A &E. Truckers next on BBC One.
