- What have we got here?

- A student me, and my college crush,
my tutor.

We had one weekend together.

- They're not going to get their GCSE
grades unless they put in

some hard work.

I heard you making as many mistakes as
they did.

- Your mum won't be coming home today.

The police are saying that your dad's
been murdered.

They're charging her.

- Kim, I think you are the most
fantastic woman I have ever met.

- You want to come back to my place?

- Josh! Wait there. Why have you been
sending me these?
- You're my real dad.

- Morning, Jo.

- Good morning, Steph how are you
today?

- Oh, you know me... "Carp dee-em"

and all that.

Are you OK?

- Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Just wanted
to check in on my troops.

- Well, this is one little soldier you
don't have to worry about.

New leaf turned over, nose to the
grindstone.

- Really glad to hear that. See you
later.

- See you later.

- Woah!

Gerroff! You're nearly as bad as that
bloke in the Copabanana.
- Cop a banana!

- You know what I mean.

- Em, Mum's bail hearing's in the
paper today, so whatever anyone says
just ignore it, OK?

- But...
- Mum's going to be home by the end of
the day.

That's all that matters.
- Yeah?

- Yeah! By tea time, she'll be back
where she belongs.

And so will we, no more aunt Julie.
See, that's more like it!

- Hello.
- Morning.

- Morning. How are we?

Kim.
- Max.
- Senior management in ten?

- Mm-hm, yeah.

- Lindsay James? We've had her aunt on
this morning.

Apparently she hasn't exactly been a
delight at home so I said we'd keep an
eye on her.

- Ok. Let's check with the subject
teachers.

Make sure we're not missing anything.

- Hey.
- Morning.

- Well, you can't go on like this,
Tom.

- It just doesn't make any sense.

I mean, why would you make up
something like that?

- Maybe he's not.
- But he has to be. It was only the
once, we were really careful.

- What I mean is, he's got no reason
to lie, has he?

He's going on what he's been told.
Everything he knows about you is from
his mum.

If anyone's lying...

- Anyhow, we'll find out soon enough.
I'm going to go and see her today.

- Yeah?
- I'm free all afternoon.

I'll nip off then.

- Well, if you're really dreading it,
I could come with you?

- Cos that wouldn't be awkward at all,
would it?

- # Been there, done that, messed
around

# I'm having fun, don't put me down

# I'll never let you sweep me off my
feet.. #
- Students.

They don't get up till lunchtime.

And just because you give your number
to a boy, doesn't mean

he'll ring you.
- I know.

- Have you two not been home?
- What for?

- My parents think I was at her house
and her parents think she was at mine.

- Are you still drunk?
- I should

hope so, the amount we put away.

- I'm fine, but Slammer Queen over
there...

- Ey, shut up you.

- Ms Campbell.
- Mr Tyler.

Max. We're in school.
- This isn't school.

This is my office.

- Your office?

- It's one of the perks of the job.
KNOCKING

Come.
- Morning.

- Hey, Chris. How's tricks?

- Yeah, great. Hi, Kim.
- Hiya.

- Ah, Rachel, right.

Well, we'll get straight to it. If
we're serious about exam results and
improving our league table positions,

we need every single teacher at the
top of their game.

A single standard of excellence across
the school.

- Which has always been our aim.

- What we really need is a one-off
across-the-board assessment by all
heads of department. Starting today.

- Can we do that?

- Absolutely. No time like the
present.

Shall we?

- Don't you think this might backfire,
huh? Some of the staff may feel it
shows a lack of trust.

- I've talked to Jo Lipsett. She's
ready to start today.

- What - you've already set this up?

- The results in her department are
certainly below what we're after,
considering her exemplary record.

- The staff who are being assessed, do
they know about it?

- No. We want to see how they teach
from day to day

and if they're good enough - and why
wouldn't they be - there's no problem.

Morning, everyone.

As you all know, years seven and nine
are out on field trips today.

- Hey.
- So this gives us the perfect

opportunity to start our new
staff-wide teacher assessment.

You are all going to be monitored in
class by your head of department,
starting today.

GASPS AND MURMURS

- Why don't you just install CCTV and
be done with it?

George Orwell, eat your heart out.

- Think of it as a clean slate.

New school, new standards, new start.

We'll let you know more as and when.

If you have any questions, Rachel will
be happy to answer them.

Departmental Heads, I'd like an update
at the end of play.
- Today?

- Yes, Tom, if that's not too much
trouble.

- That's all I need.
- Don't worry about it. It's window
dressing.

Executive head flexing his muscles?

- Look, it'd be fine if they didn't
expect you to do any actual teaching.

- Are you ready for the off, Steph?
- What do you mean?

- The assessment Mr Tyler was just
talking about? Yours starts this
morning, first period.

- But...
- Don't worry, just act like I'm not
there I'm not there.

Anyway, I'm very keen to see this new
leaf you've turned over.

- # I'm just a little bit caught in
the middle

# Life is a maze and love is a riddle

# I don't know where to go

# Can't do it alone, I've tried

# And I don't know why... #

Hiya!

That went well.

- No way.

This is you when it was just us two...
And then "Oh, my god. Boys!"

- I wasn't! Unlike you, I swear you
were eyeballing a fire extinguisher.

- Careful!

What's going on?

- Nothing.
- Nothing?

You stink of alcohol. Where have you
been?

- Nowhere. We're just tired. From
studying.

- Yeah, right, and I'm Beyonce.

Look, you two'd better sort yourselves
out.

I am not having you coming into my
lesson letting me down in front of

the Head of Modern Languages. OK?

Go on.

It's good, in't it? Anyway, I'm going
to get off now, so I'll talk to you at
lunch time.

- See you.
- See you in a bit.

All right, mate.

- How do you do it?

Get them to notice you like that?

- All right! Have you got someone in
mind?

- No, no, not at all. To be honest, I
was just wondering. You know, for
future reference.

- Oh, right, yeah. Course. The future.

- So, come on then - what's the
secret?

- Well, obviously, good looks help. To
be honest, mate, yours won't.

- Thank you.
- Don't worry about it.

But the next thing a girl wants is a
guy who makes 'em laugh.

Works every time, I'm telling you.

Look at Johnny Vegas.

See you then, mate.

- BELL RINGS

J'adore la mer.

HALTINGLY:

Tous les jours je viens...

a la plage et regarde la maree monter.

- Tres bien, Denzil,

mais comme pensent les autres?

Very good, Denzil,

but what do the others think?

Anyone? OK, what was the passage
about?

Denzil?

- First it was about a dog, then it
was about a boy who falls in love with
his mother?

- Not quite. But a good try.

Anyone else? Em.

- It's about a man describing how he
loves the sea.

- Thank you, Em.

La mer, the sea, la mere, the mother.
Anything else?

OK, read your worksheets and answer
the questions carefully and take your
time.

They're, um...very slow this morning.

- Mmm.

- Oh, my God.

- I went to the place you got yours
done, and asked for exactly the same.

- Hey, look at that.

It's... brilliant!
- Really classy.
- Yeah. It's Chinese for "loyalty".

Yeah, it's like... we're sisters or
something.

Oh, God wouldn't it be cool if we all
got one? Just like that?

- It doesn't hurt. Not really.

- Just think - it'd be something no
one could ever, ever take away from
us, no matter what...

- Absolutely.

- So, who's with us two then? Who's
going to be next, eh?

- Me.
- Hey... Good girl, Shuv! You see?

- What an unaccountable creature is
that brother of mine, to send them to
the house as an inn!

Ha! ha!

I don't wonder at his impudence.

- Oh, come on! Who's reading The Maid?

- What?
- Danielle, it's not like you.

Look, if you can't be bothered to read
aloud,

at least do us the courtesy of trying
to stay on the right page.

We wouldn't want to waste our Head of
Department's time, would we?

Right, someone else read it. Triona?

- Just get a grip. Stop being such a
lightweight, yeah?

- Hi, my name's Philip Ryan, OK,
that's Phil.

Ip. Never Phil, because...

Hi, my name's Philip, that's Philip.

That's terrible.

- You were coasting there, Steph.

It's like you dug out some old
worksheet that you've been using since
you qualified.

In subsequent lessons I want to see...

- Subsequent lessons?

- What I want to see is a sharper
focus,

a clear command of the syllabus, and a
little bit of classroom control.

If an exercise isn't working, then you
make it work

or you just try something else, you
don't blame the kids.

You're there to teach them, Steph. You
have to give them what they need to
learn.

- OK, got it.

- Look, I'm here to help you...

all right - I am not here to try and
catch you out.

Why don't you give me your lesson
plans beforehand, and I can help you

get them into shape.
- Lesson plans?

Won't that ruin the surprise?

- KNOCKING

Jo?

How's it going?

- OK. I'm just getting started really.

- Don't be afraid to come down on her
hard.

She's exactly the kind of teacher
that's been holding this place back.

- Hang on a minute. Aren't I the one
doing the assessment?

- Yes, yes, but you said yourself,
Steph's a poor performer, with
questionable attitude.

This would be the perfect opportunity
to...

- Look, I would feel much happier
having this conversation after

I've actually assessed her. Yeah?

- You're right. All I'm saying is that
if we send out a clear message to the
others,

she'd be the perfect place to start.

PRINTER WHIRS

TEACHER TALKS QUIETLY

- Girls, today, eh, Bolton?

- I know. Shocking.

I dunno why you bother with them
clubs. They're a rip off.

- Maybe we like them...

because guys like you don't go there.

- Yeah, you're right, I don't go to
'em...

cos they're full of girls like you
getting sleazed up by greasy older
guys.

- He has got a point though.

I mean, why do you go those places
when you've got talent right here?

- Oh, leave it out, will you?

I'm close enough to puking as it is.

- Hair of the dog's what you need.

It works every time.
- We're in school if you haven't
noticed.
- So?

- Problem, Paul?

- Erm, yes, sir, the retort stand, it
keeps slipping.

- Ah, yeah. Cupboard down there, box
on the left.

- No way!

- I dunno how you can be so calm.

Look at all this and I don't even know
when I'm being assessed yet!

- Oh, Helen, when you've been doing
this job as long as I have,

it takes more than some assessment to
get the wind up you. I'm prepared.

- Is that all?

We had to have a lesson plan for every
class at John Foster's.

- Normally, you see, I do my work up
here but if Mr Tyler wants us to write
it down then...

- I know he can be a bit severe, but
he is a pretty inspirational leader.

- Really?

So was Mussolini.

- I'm not sure I've ever seen you plan
a lesson before.

- And you still haven't, Tom. I went
on the computer and found some old
B.Ed. student coursework.

- Steph! When the kids copy stuff off
the web, it sticks out a mile.

- That's because they're kids. You're
talking to someone who does know her
arse from their elbow.

I'm a teacher, Tom. I'm going to be
able to tell a decent lesson plan when
I see one.

- KNOCKING

Right, get on with your work. I just
need a word with Ms Mason.

- What are you doing?

- You wanted hair of the dog...

Ethanol - the chemical name for
alcohol.

Your cocktail awaits, madam...

- I'm not drinking chemicals.
- Der! Everything is a chemical!

And this is alcohol.

No? OK.

- Yeah!

It's not bad man, not bad at all.

- No way - I'm not drinking that!
- Give it here.

Now who's the lightweight?

- So their work isn't slipping, nor
acting up in class?

- No.
- It's a difficult time for the
family.

- Lindsay has always been great at
science. She gets stuck right in.

Emily's struggling a bit, but no great
change there.

- So no downturn in performance at
all?

- No, they're both really hard
workers.

- Oh, that's really good to know.
Great. Thanks, Chris.

- Oh, Rachel.

Look, before, with Max.

I know he can be abrasive at times,

but I've never seen him fail to get
results.

- Results, right.

You see, the problem is, I like a
school where the teachers can

concentrate on the kids themselves,

you know, not just the grades they can
deliver.

- Like the James girls.

- Exactly, yeah. Thank you.

- And have you noticed right, these
kids on TV, these teenagers, and they
look fantastic,

they've got brilliant hair, lovely
clothes, very glamorous,...

But in reality, they just look like
me.

- Are you doing stand up?

- Em, no... that's not what I'm doing.

- Oh, so it must be rap.

- Did you want something?

- It's nothing to be ashamed of.

I love stand up. Come on. Let's hear
some.

- No. No way.

- Come on. I can give you feedback.

- No.
- Go on, just one tiny little joke,

one teensy weensy...
- Just get out!

- OK, there's no need to be like that.

- Ros...

Stupid...

- Oooh.. Oi oi!

- Shut up. Have some of this.

- Nah. I want that... whatsit...

a hairy dog!
- Oh, just drink some

of this so we don't get busted!

- Don't want to.

- Right, well, you're on your own.

- Ey, is everything OK?

- There's only one Ms Haydock!
- Sshhh!

- What's going on? She's in a

worse state than she was before.

- I don't understand.
- Well, she can't walk around like
this. She'll be excluded.
- We're in your class next.

- No, you're not. There is no way she
can come into my class. I'm being
inspected.

I cannot believe that you've picked
today of all days.

I was hoping that you two were going
to dazzle Ms Lipsett with your
brilliance.

Now there's more chance of her
knocking her out with her breath.

Right quick - get her in there. Get
her a glass of water and she can sleep
it off.

And listen - if anybody finds her, we
never had this conversation.

And you, young lady, I want you on top
form for period four. Get her in.
- Thanks Miss.

- I don't wanna go in here.

- Roll up, roll up, come on. £1.50.
There you go. £1.50, by the way.

Get it while you can cos it's going
fast.
- £.1.50 a pop.

- I've only got a quid.

- Don't worry about it, just keep it
between you and me.

- Is that the stuff you gave Danielle?

- Yeah, yeah, are you after some and
all?

- You're selling it?
- Course.

- You can't.

Danielle's hammered out of her mind!

- Der, that's what alcohol does to
people! It's good stuff though.

- But it's not like normal alcohol.

Danielle only swigged it a few times
and she's mashed!
- Yeah?

- If it does that to her, what d'you
think it's gonna do to these?

- They know what they're buying.

What they do with it, that's up to
them, innit?

- Till they get busted, and they find
out you nicked it.

You're going to get us all excluded,
you div.

- You said it was alcohol, man.

- It is, it's just, er, just a bit
stronger. Or summat.

- What, you don't know?

- Why's this down to me? You do
science too.

- Don't sell any more, OK? I don't
want that Tyler

on my back again.

Hiya.
- Hey Bolton.
- Have you got that bottle I sold you
earlier?

- Look, I told you I'd get the money.
- I need it back. You can have your
quid.

- Do you not think I can handle it?

- Something like that, just give it
here.

- What are you going to do if I don't?
- Sam, I ain't got time for this...

- Watch it! What are.. What's that?
Give me..

- Bien.

Maintenant nous allons...ah...
examiner la... explanation de la
piece.

- Why are we doing this, miss?

- You might not find this challenging,
Karla, but just because you don't
doesn't mean...

- But it's not challenging, that's the
problem.

The grammar's basic, the vocab is a
GCSE standard

and the piece itself feels like it's
come from a really old textbook.

- Really? Well, maybe you should swap
places with me, Karla.

- Why, miss? You're the teacher. It's
just that this isn't teaching us
anything.

- Well, best let me be the judge of
that, eh? Aleesha?

Aleesha!

- What?

- I think you'll find the word you're
looking for is "pardon".

Or more appropriately "Pardon".

Is something distracting you, Aleesha?

Something that perhaps you'd like to
share with us?

- No, sorry, miss.
- Good, then I'd like you to read
section B, please?

- Le weekend, je fais beaucoup de
sports...

- TEXT MESSAGE ALERT

I don't quite believe this -
bootlegging in a school?

- It's a first for me too.

- So it's two of Waterloo Road's
finest is it, Paul Langley and my old
friend Bolton Smilie...

- I told you not to sell any more, you
idiot.

- Look, we're raking it in. What's
your problem?
- You two. Here.

Now.

- I'll see you out front, yeah?

And remember, no uniform, otherwise he
won't do it.

- Hey Linds - you all right? Yeah.

Mum was wondering if you and Em wanted
to come for your tea after school?

- Oh, thanks, but I'm seeing my mum
tonight. It's her hearing today.

She's coming home.
- They've released her?

- Well, we've not heard anything yet
but erm, yeah, she'll be out later
today, for deffo.

- Some other time then. Yeah?

- Yeah, sure.

Stupid cow.

- Ethanol? Selling legitimate alcohol
would be bad enough,

but ethanol?
- OK, who have you sold this to?

- I dunno.
- Not good enough.

- I don't know everyone in the school,
you know.

- Do you have any idea how dangerous
this is?

- Right, I think that we need to go
from class to class before someone
drinks this stuff.

- We need a more direct approach.

Joyce, will you phone the fire
service, tell them it's a false alarm?

FIRE BELL RINGS

Out!

- OK, everyone, leave your things and
leave

the building calmly and quietly.

No running.
- Ey, Miss Dillon,

this way please.

Saved by the bell, eh? I don't know
what was worse, the outdated plan...

or the lifeless way you delivered it.

Anyone would've think you hadn't
written it yourself.

- Hm, would they indeed?

- The liquid being peddled by these
two is poisonous.

Drinking even a small amount could
make you seriously ill.

Anyone who bought some should come
forward now.

- We need to collect every last drop
of this stuff, guys, so no one gets
hurt.

- OK.

You leave us no choice.

Members of staff will search your
pockets.

They'll then go inside and search each
and every schoolbag, every locker...

There's no hiding place.

- Well done, kids. You're doing the
right thing there.

- Mr Budgen,

I'll leave you in charge to take down
the names and collect all the
contraband.

SHE MOUTHS

Steph? How's the assessment going?

Should be a walk in the park for a
seasoned pro like you?

- Yeah, yeah, it is. Can you just...?

- Steph?

- Danielle...

Danielle?

Danielle.

Danielle!

Danielle!

- I just thought you should know I'm
going to go and see your mum, today.

- So you've finally decided to accept
the truth, then?

- Look Josh, I don't know why your
mum's told you what she did, but it
just isn't true.

It can't be.

- Oh, so mum's a liar, now?

That what you're saying?
- No..

Mistaken, maybe.

- So not only do you just walk away
and leave us,

you then have the nerve to blame us,
just to cover your own arse.

- Josh!
- Just leave me alone.

- Josh!

- Danielle!

- Steph? Steph, what is going on?

- Danielle.

I think she's drunk some of that
stuff.

- What do you say that?

- THUMP

- Oh my God, Danielle!

Let me do this, Rachel.

Out of the way!

- Don't tell me this has something to
do with ethanol.
- I think it has.

- Oh, no, this is my fault.

- Danielle.
- Right, come on.
- No, we're fine.

- Steph's going to take her to
hospital.
- Shouldn't we wait

for an ambulance?

- No. Any delay'll just increase the
damage.

- This just gets better and better.

- Danielle...
- Shush!

- I'm going with her.
- No you're not. You've done enough.

- Oh, please wait.
- Girls, there's nothing to see.
Inside, thank you. All of you, now.

- Ethanol?

Where did she get hold of that?

- She stole it, from school.

- What concentration was it? And how
much did she have?

- I can't imagine it was a lot.
- It doesn't have to be, with ethanol.

If you could find out how much she had
that'd be great.
- Can't you just pump her stomach?

- No point. By now she'll have
absorbed it all into her system.

All we can do is keep an eye on her,
monitor the damage and hope for the
best.

- I've never heard anything like it.

An illicit alcohol ring here in
school.
- I can think of worse things.

- Like what?
- Knives. Guns. Drugs.

- Should be this place's motto.

- Alcohol IS a drug.

- Yeah, but this was ethanol...

which they stole, well, which I let
them steal from my classroom.

- Don't know why they bothered...

tastes like shoe polish and gives you
a splitting headache.

- But they were selling it as alcohol,
weren't they?

Cos that's what the kids wanted.

- I can't believe you're defending
them.

- Well, I'm not, but the kids will be
drinking,

whether they're buying it from Paul
Langley or from a supermarket or
nicking it from home.

- And you think that's all right, do
you?
- No,

but us just saying they shouldn't,
doesn't achieve anything.

It doesn't doesn't teach them the
dangers or how to drink safely.

It just makes us feel like we've done
our bit when all we're really doing is
washing our hands of it.

- Danielle, can you hear me, Danielle?

Danielle, can you hear me?

- I don't know. They're saying she
might have hypoglycaemia

and other horrible things.

No!

Anyway, I need the information off the
ethanol bottle.

Yeah.

- Well, just let us know as soon as
you hear anything.

Oh, thank you, Steph.

- Well?
- It's not good.

Being monitored,

but I'm just going to have to sit and
wait.

- Steph clearly knew something.

why else charge into the building like
a demented bison?

- Well, under the circumstances, it's
a good job she did.

- Oh, my God. Danielle.

- Not now.

- Em, come here.

They're not letting her out.
- What?

- I'm sorry. I was sure they'd release
her but...

She's got to go back to jail.

- What about us? Maybe if we tell them
how much we miss her?

You said she'd get out, Lindsay.

This isn't right. I want to see Mum.
- We can't...

not till after the trial.

- What?

- She's not allowed to speak to us,
cos we're witnesses, some crap like
that.

- What if they find her guilty?

- Em, that's not going to happen.

- How do you know?

You said she'd be home tonight,

cooking us dinner by the time we got
back from school.

- Em, Em, you've got to stop this...
please.

Be brave, yeah?

Mum'd hate to see you like this.

That's it. Good girl.

Look, you've got to trust me.
Everything is going to be OK.

It's just some stupid judge.

You've got to stay strong, yeah?

Do you have any idea what you've done?

You've risked the wellbeing of other
pupils' lives for your own personal
gain,

you've flouted several school rules,

lowered the tone of school life and to
top it all, you've broken the law.

Do you think this is funny?

Danielle Harker's in hospital because
of you.

- Look, she didn't have to drink what
we offered her.

We didn't force people to buy our
stuff.

They were queuing up for it.

Supply and demand, innit?

- Show some respect!
- Max.

- Just because there's a demand,

doesn't make it OK for you to supply.

What you two did was wholly
unacceptable. Yes?
- Yes, sir.

- Now obviously, we don't know the
full extent of

the damage you've done to Danielle,
but rest assured, gentlemen, I intend

to make an example of you both.

Have you got a problem with that?

- No, sir.

- That sort of dumb insolence drives
me mad.
- Clearly.

- My mum says your mum must've been
really frightened to do what she did.

- Thanks.

It's mad, isn't it?

Any time I try to talk about it,
Lindsay just tells me, "Don't worry,

"cos Mum'll definitely be let out at
the trial."

- Well, she can't know that. There's
always a risk.

- That's what I keep saying, but it's
always "Shut up, Em" and "Be brave,
Em".

- My mum says that you should never
bottle things up,

because the longer you do, the more
upset it'll cause, and that'll just
make the problem even worse.

- That's all right for you,

but who can I talk to?

- There are people that understand,
though.

- I think she's perked up a bit.

- That's just the rehydration.

Doesn't mean she's out of the woods
yet.

- Ow!
- If you're big enough to get yourself
in this state, you're big enough to
take a pinprick.

- She's been poisoned.
- Course she has! It's never their
fault, is it?

I'm sorry - the amount of time we have
to allocate to the likes of her.

Stupid teenagers, all messed up.

Looks like she's one of the lucky
ones.

Whatever she drank today, on top of
last night's binge...

it could have caused some real damage.

I'll check on her again in a little
while.

- KNOCKING

Hang on.

- I just wanted to show you the ideas
that I've had for

an alcohol awareness programme -

see what you think.

- I don't think we really want anyone
coming in and catching us like this,
do we?

Today of all days?

- Ah right, so it's fine for you to
come and grab me as and when...

- No, I don't mean... it's just the
day I'm having, I wouldn't want to
give anyone more ammunition.

- You mean Rachel?

- I knew you'd notice.

She's been on my case all day...

arguing every point, jumping down my
throat.

- And you warming your cheeks in her
seat is the best way

to make friends, is it?

- Ok, so we both agree that I'm not
her favourite person.

All I'm saying is that Rachel wouldn't
understand what we have.

And I know how this could look from
the outside.

I wouldn't want anyone thinking this
is just some cheap fling.

Because it's not...

I don't think it is.

- No, neither do I.

- For the record,

trying to keep my hands off you during
the day

will be a pretty tall order.

- Well, your medal's in the post.

- Or you could just have dinner with
me tonight?

- Maybe.

- It's no big deal. It's just a
tattoo.
- But...

- Stop being such a baby.

- You do know tattoos are against
school rules, don't you?

Is that the same as Lindsay James's?

How lame is that?
- It's not lame.

It's Chinese for loyalty.

- So what you crying for?

Did Lindsay make you do that?

- No...course not. I just... I'm not
sure about it. You know.

- So if Lindsay told you to jump off a
cliff, would you do that and all?

- Lindsay didn't do anything, OK?

- Well, we both know that's crap.

She's done plenty.

- Philip.

- Look, I'm sorry about earlier, OK? I
shouldn't have kicked off at you like
that.

- OK. Well, I'm sorry for whatever it
was I did that made you so worked up.

- Nah, it wasn't you. I was just...

- It's just you're the last person I
thought'd be doing stand up.

- Thanks.
- Cos you're quiet. Shy.

- Well, that's just it, isn't it?

You know if I've got to be really
awkward and figure out what I'm going
to say before I say it to one person,

then it's not much of a step to being
in front of a crowd.

I mean, it's no more difficult. In
theory.

- Better get practising, then. If you
lose it like you did today in front of
an audience...

- I won't.

At least, I hope not.
- Well, don't, because normal Philip's
pretty funny, but mad, shouty Philip?

Not so much.
- Right, so that's normal Philip,
funny, mad shouty Philip, not so
funny?

- Yeah. That's pretty much it.

- Well, guess I'll have to BEAR THAT
IN MIND!

I've just proved your point, haven't
I?
- Mm-hm.

- # I'm just a little bit caught in
the middle... # See ya.

# Life is a maze and love is a
riddle... #

- OK everyone, remember I need your
course work in by the end of next
week, OK?

Quickly and quietly.

Hey, Michaela, what is it?
- It's...tricky.

- Take your time.

- Well... someone I know, yeah,

they've been forced to do something,
like, something really bad

and I'm not a usually a grass, but
this isn't right.

- So this tattoo is completely your
own idea?

- Why would you want to get the same
tattoo as these two, Siobhan?

- To show friendship for each other.

- Tattoos are illegal at your age.

Don't force your own stupidity onto
others.

- And are you the only three with this
tattoo?

- Well, if we see or hear of any more,
I will hold you three, responsible,
OK? Do you understand?

- What? So it's our fault, if someone
decides to copy us?

- Lindsay, we know what's going on
here.

- Oh, dear,

in trouble, are we?

- Campbell not like your little
tattoos, then?

- Girls.
- Don't worry. You'll get yours.

- Ready when you are.

- I suspect that's not the last we're
going to hear of that little issue.

- Mmm.

Kim, are you free tonight? For a
drink?

It's just that I want to talk
something through with you.

- Sure, yeah. I had something on but
it can wait.

- Are you sure?
- Absolutely.

- That's brilliant, OK, see you later.

- I don't, I don't remember, I don't
remember much of anything.

Bits of last night, bits of school,
but...

- The main thing is you're gonna be
OK.

- Yeah, right. My dad? School?

- Well, you'll have to deal with that
as and when.

For a while it was looking really
serious, Danielle.

Why did you do it?

- Cos it's fun.

- I've had fun, Danielle, and believe
me, it doesn't end up like this.

You're a bright girl. You don't need
me to tell you

this is not right.

You have got off very lightly this
time, but you've got to be more
careful.

Being that drunk, anything could have
happened to you...

and I'm not saying don't have fun. God
knows, I'd be the last person to say
that to you.

Anyway, I'm going to get back to the
school and let them know you're
through the worst.

- Ms Haydock?
- Mm-hm?

- Thanks. For, you know...

- I'm just glad you're going to be OK.

So they're going to keep her in
overnight, just to make sure,

but they don't think there's any
permanent damage.
- That's something, I suppose.

- And I've told her that's no way to
behave.

Staying out all night, coming in to
school half cut... so don't worry
about that.

- But we ARE worried that you saw her
in that state, and after she'd drunk
the ethanol,

and you did nothing about it.

- Aleesha told us everything.

- That amounts to professional
misconduct.

- Danielle is a good kid.

I didn't want her getting into trouble
for letting

her hair down once in a while.

- That delay could have resulted in
her getting seriously ill. Or worse.

- I know! And if I could turn back the
clock and do things

differently, I would,

but the main thing is that she's OK.

I can't believe you're getting your
knickers in a twist because I didn't
stick to the bloody rules.
- Steph!

- The rules are there to protect the
children and so are the staff.

- I was trying to help her.

- But you're her teacher, you're not
her mate.

- Exactly.

Her mates were making it worse. You
could have nipped it in the bud,
couldn't you?

If you'd reported Danielle when you
first saw her, there is no way she'd
have ended up in hospital.

- What she needed from you was
protection, Steph, you know, a mature
response.

If you'd acted like a teacher in the
first place, none of this

would have happened.

- It's my fault.

Anyone else, this wouldn't have
happened.

But it was me.
- Aw, Steph.

Steph, don't.

- There she is.

- No. Her.

No one makes my little sister cry.

- I didn't. I didn't, it was you that
she was upset about.

- If you so much as look at her again,

you'll get worse than this, you
understand?

Breathe a word and your life's over.
Yeah? Finished.

- SHE SOBS

- You can keep that and all.

Em.

EM!

- You OK?

- Does it matter?

- Steph.

- No, seriously,

you two were right.

There's me being all pally with the
kids, thinking that that's what it's
all about,

then look what happens to them when I
try to help them. Look at Danielle?

Maxine?

From where I'm sitting, everything I
touch just turns to crap.

- I'm sorry, Steph.

I know you've had a difficult day,

and I wish that deep down

I could say that I can see a really
good teacher, but it's not true.

I like you, I do, I really like you,
but

at the moment, I don't think you're up
to teaching in my department.

- So what, you're going to sack me me?
- No.

But if you want to stay,

I want to see some real commitment.

Proper hard work, yeah?

Yeah?

There you go then.

- What's this?

- After today's events, we all think
you'd benefit from some retraining.

- What? You're sending me back to
college?

- Mm-hm. Part-time.

Think of it as a refresher course.

- Do I have to?
- Yeah.

- The boys? Definite exclusion.

- Temporary exclusion.

- Aleesha and Danielle?

- Should be dealt with through
pastoral care.

Look, whatever happened today Max, you
can't just punish alcohol out

of these kids' lives, can you?

Let's use Danielle as an example.

You saw how shaken up Aleesha was...

this is a perfect opportunity to make
an issue of the problem.

- Fine... Kim's a safe pair of hands.

Steph Haydock, on the other hand, I
would happily sack in a heartbeat.

Heaven knows we've got enough cause
to.

- And I would rather we didn't.

- Jo Lipsett's already been bending my
ear.

She's happy to take on responsibility
for Steph, but on a last chance basis.

Quite a roll call, that.

Waterloo Road's very own Dirty Dozen.

- What was it you were saying this
morning, Max?...

Your brave speech in the staff room -
a clean slate, new school, new
standards?

Did you actually mean any of that?
- Of course I did.

- Then maybe you ought to implement
it, starting with yourself, because
while you insist on seeing

the old Waterloo Road as the source of
every problem that we have here, this
place does not stand a chance.

- Sorry, but...

you really need to see this.

- Here you go.

- Here she is.

- Who did this?

- She won't say... so just...

- I don't believe this is happening.

- It seems that we're not alone in
seeing a divide between the schools.

- Karla, whoever did this to you will
be very, very sorry.

- Shall we go and get you cleaned up?

Chris, can you...?

- I have to say, I will be glad to get
out of this place this evening.

- Yeah, um, I'm not going to be able
to make it tonight.
- Oh.

- It's just something's come up, a
friend in need, that kind of thing.

- Well, that's a shame.

- But maybe another time...

- Yes, sure, sure.

- Not quite the answer I was looking
for.

Anyway back to here we were.

The character of Teresa, actually
changes the rest of the play. It is
such an important point.

Just excuse me a minute.

Oh, my God.

Tom Clarkson.

- He just seems that he's incapable of
accepting anything that he doesn't
fully agree with.

- I don't know if that's fair.

- He can be so divisive.

Everything's us and them with him.

It's my way, it's my school, it's my
teachers, you know.

And he humiliated me in front of the
staff with that assessment thing.

He cuts me out of the loop at every
single chance he gets.

- But do you not think that you would
have always found it difficult...

anyone coming in as the executive
head?

- Sure, yeah, yeah,

yeah, there might be an element of
that,

but you know, this feels like a coup.

It feels...

it feels like he's trying to take the
school from me.

Anyway, where would we be without
these things to try us?

All this stuff he's coming out with. I
mean, it's like he's obsessed.

I don't know where he's getting it
from.

He said you told him, but why would
you...?
- I did.

- But why?
- Because it's true, Tom.

You're his father.

- What?

- Biologically.

- But I can't be.

We took precautions.

How can you be sure? You can't have
had tests done.

- There's nobody else it could have
been.

I didn't make a habit of it, you know.

Can you not see it? His eyes...

- I don't believe you. Why didn't you
tell me?

- You were a student.

It was a one-night stand.

Look, I know, I should have said
something.

I can see that now, but...

we were never going to have a life
together. Be realistic.

- But why did you lie to Josh, then?

- I didn't.
- You told him that I abandoned him,
that I walked away.

- No, I told him that you were too
young and you couldn't handle it.

I was going to tell him the truth,
when he was old enough

but he just seemed to accept it.

- What? That I'm some heartless git
that left him in the lurch?

You should have told us both the truth
when he came to the school!

- How did I know you worked there?
- You lied to him and you lied to me.

- I didn't mean any harm,

it was just an accident.

- That you let carry on for fourteen
years?

What, all this time, I've had a son,
and not known about it?

I can't handle this.

- Drive safely.
- Take care.
- See you later.

- Ms Campbell?

- Mr Tyler. Often lurk about in pub
car parks, do you?

- Ah, I just happened to be passing.

How was Rachel?

You didn't tell her about..
- No, no of course not.

Anyway, what am I going to say?

This is all so furtive, even I don't
know what's going on.

- I'm just being careful, maintaining
that balance between personal and
professional.

- Ah right, is that what it is, is it?

- Of course. I'm surprised, a woman
with your obvious talents, struggling
with something as simple as that.

- My obvious talents?

- I can explain them to you if
required, over a bottle of wine.

- I thought you'd have seen enough
booze for one day?

- At school.

But does this look like school to you?

- No, Mr Tyler it does not.
- Well, then...

- Tom. Look, I just wanted to say
sorry for the way this has happened.

- Well, that makes everything OK,
then, doesn't it?

- Oh, Tom, I know this is horrible for
you,

but you've got to believe I never
meant to hurt you in any way.

Please, don't hurt Josh.

Whatever's happened, however badly
I've got this wrong,

it doesn't change the fact that he's
your son.

You can't just walk away.
- Well, that's rich.

First I don't deserve to know, and now
you're telling me I can't walk away?

Make up your mind.

- Josh came looking for you.

He obviously feels he needs something
that I can't give him.

- Until ten minutes ago,

Josh was just another kid I taught.

One among hundreds.

He means nothing to me.

You can't rewrite the last 14 years.

- Don't say that.

- Look, I've nothing against the kid,
but there's nothing there.

Because of you. You chose to deny him
a father.

Not him, not me... you!

- Tom...

Josh is completely blameless in this.

Look, I know you're angry, you've got
every right to be, but please, I am
begging you...

He's your son.

Tom.

- The start of the Tyler revolution.
- Has Rachel seen this?

- I want every teacher's future plans
on my desk within a week.

- You are bringing independent school
ideas to a state comprehensive. We
don't do things like that here, Max.

- Lindsay James needs to learn that if
she goes against one of us,

she gets it back, ten times worse.

- You don't know Luke. You don't know
anything about him or what he's been
through. None of us do.

Oi, Luke!!

- It's my car, it's my car, out the
way.

Stop the car.

- Max! Are you all right?
