You'll be monitored by your HOD.

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

- Stupid cow.
- Did Lindsay make you do that?

- Lindsay didn't do anything.
- She's done plenty.

- Don't be afraid to come down on her
hard. She's the kind of teacher

holding us back.
- There she is.

- No, her.

- Max, we're in school.
- This isn't

school, this is my office.

- You'd benefit from some retraining.

- What, you're sending me back to
college?

- You're his father.
- What?
- Biologically.

- Hey, shall I call for you?
- No, it's all right, I'll see you at
school.

- Hey, got your garden thingy sorted?

- It's a joint English and Art
project...

Cross-curricular co-operation.

Em, Luke Pendle? His care home
manager's been on,

he didn't get in till six o'clock this
morning.

She's threatening to call the police
if he breaks another curfew.

- All right, I'll have a word with the
home.

- Since when did Exec Heads

get involved in pastoral issues?

- Luke Pendle's one of our brightest
kids.

- And you're best to deal with him
because...?

- OK, you do it, but keep me informed.
As soon as he steps out of line, I
want to know about it.

This'll sort out Pendle, start of the
Tyler revolution.

- Has Rachel seen this?

- No, but I'm counting on you to bring
her on board.

- # We're the one

# We're the one, we're the one

# We're the one, we're the one

# We're the one

# We're the one, we're the one

# We're the one... #

- Excuse me.
- Chill-out zone comes to Waterloo
Road, eh?

- This is for the Waterloo Road Garden
Project.

- Like the Blue Peter garden, only we
don't want people burying their dogs
in it.

- I think you might find it was a
tortoise.

- See you later.
- See you in a bit.

- So what do you think Miss Mason's
going to do?

Karla's back today.

- Mason's said nothing to me.
- Lindsay...

Everyone's saying it were you.

Just tell Miss Mason you lost it, you
were upset about your mum.

- I don't need your advice, Ros.

- Come on.

- You OK, Karla?
- Yeah, she's fine.

- Don't worry, Lindsay's not going to
get away with this.

- I want the set changes implemented
as soon as possible.

- Look, all the top set kids will be
JF pupils.

I thought we were trying to create
peace, love, and harmony?

- I believe in meritocracy in and out
of the classroom.

In time, standards will rise for all
our young people.

Take Luke Pendle, an extremely able
pupil, he's displaying all the signs

of succumbing to peer pressure.

He needs a challenge, he needs to be
taught by the best teachers.

- Just who are the best teachers?

- Exactly?
- I'll decide that.

I want to hit the ground running with
this. This school is coasting, ladies
and gentlemen.

- Look, are you forgetting that we
created a sixth form, completely

transformed the curriculum?

- I'm not forgetting that, Tom, no.
But take your department...

High turnover of staff, attainment
well below that of other schools

with a similar intake. Are you telling
me you're happy with that?

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

We're implementing sets, get used to
it.

- I had no idea about any of this.

- Light the blue touch paper.

- You're not kidding.
- Keep your ears to the ground, see
how it goes.

- It's a bit cloak and dagger, isn't
it?

- The black art of leadership, Chris.

- I thought leadership was all about
communication and team work.

- Leaders need to be unreasonable. It
inspires people. Progress depends on
it. Get back to me.

- Max! Max!

It's nice to be consulted...

Communication, team work to the fore
there?

- I just felt we needed to move things
along a bit.

I wasn't trying to freeze you out.

- You've just managed to freeze out
about half the staff room.

- The lazy and the cynical ones, I can
live with that.

- You are bringing independent school
ideas to a state comprehensive.

We don't do things like that here,
Max.
- I gathered that.

- Grantly Budgen is going to be on the
phone to his union.

- Yes, and if we don't support it, how
are you going to push it through?

- I've got the support of the
Governors.

Things are going to change, ladies,
simple as that.

- So, I see.

Max, am I still Head Teacher?

- Oh, that?

It's just so people know where to find
me.

Good way to show how united we all
are.

- Like I say, it's nice to be
consulted.

- I've got a really good feeling about
these changes, Rachel.

- How am I supposed to work with that?

- I don't care, Debbie, it's not even
up to school.

- That's not what Miss Campbell said.
I could've had the police round here
last night.
- Oh, whatever.

Siobhan, what are you doing here?

- So this is where you live? Was that
your mum?
- No.

- Luke... What's wrong?

- There's nothing's wrong, I live
here, all right?

I'm in care.

That was Debbie, she's a manager,
kinda like my guardian.

- Where's your mum and dad?
- Just leave

it.
- I want to know what's going on.

- What's to know, I live in a care
home.

Mum couldn't look after me and my
dad...

I don't even know where he is.

- You said he worked on the oil rigs.

Why didn't you tell me this?
- I don't

have to tell anyone where I live!

- A proper home like one of those
hostels they put paedos in?

- No... It's for kids who don't have a
mum or a dad.

- The lying little... He's like one of
them now.

- Yeah, all right, Amy, it's not that
big a deal.
- He's a scuzzer.
- Amy, you won't tell anyone, will
you? Please.

- Shuv, you're well rid.
- I haven't finished with him.

Who does Tyler think he is, deciding
on who can teach the top sets?

- Grantly, I thought you approved of
Max's autocratic approach.

- Yeah, for them out there, but he
can't do this to us.

- I can't believe he's put up with
mixed ability this long.

How can you teach an A-star pupil in
the same room as someone who

can barely write their own name?

- Spot checks?
- Eh?
- On us, to see which sets we get,
here.

- No, no, that is intimidation.

- What happened to trusting your
teachers? All this is saying is,

"You lot are crap."

- Max Tyler doesn't suffer fools,
incompetents or lazy sods, Tom,

and I reckon half of this lot won't be
here in six months.

- Hi.
- Hi, you all right?
- OK, everyone, welcome to the foreign
languages refresher course.

This way, please.
- Well, beats teaching, I suppose?

Brilliant.

- Steph? Steph Haydock?
- Yeah.
- Sheila McKechnie, I'm a friend of Jo
Lipsett's, glad you could make it.

- Hi.
- Looking forward to it?

- Oh, can't wait.

- Jo said you were a kidder.

I can see I shall have to keep my eye
on you.

- What do you mean?

- Stay clear of the wine at lunch.

Miss, you never said we've got a test.

- It's the same for everyone, Denzil,
orders from Mr Tyler.

Just try your best, OK.

- My mum says just read the questions
carefully.
- I'm thick.

Never going to be in the same set as
you.

- Listen, this test is to help us find
you the right set,

the one that works best for you.

It's not about finding out who's thick
or who's a swot.

OK? You can start now.

- # I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry,
sorry

# What you gonna do when you cross
that line

# Cross that line, cross that line

# What you gonna do when you run out
of time

# Run out of time, run out of time...
#

- Sit down, Lindsay.

I'm hoping that we can sort this out.

Karla, it's all right.

- I never did anything to her. She's
lying if she says I did.

- We're here to solve a problem.
- I never touched her.

- You did.

You held me down...

..and said that if I ever make your
little sister cry again,

you'd kill me.

And then you wrote on my head.

I'm not a freak.

Emily, your sister was there, she saw
everything.

- I don't think that Karla's making
that up, Lindsay, because she's been

too scared to come to school.

Now I can go and get Em and put her
through the ordeal of lying for you

but I think it's time to tell the
truth, don't you?

Mmm?

I've been in touch with Karla's mum.

She wants my guarantee that nothing
like this is going to happen again.

So can I give her that assurance?

Is that an admission, Lindsay?

- Yes, Miss.

Sorry, Karla.

- Well, it does takes guts to own up,
doesn't it?

But I am still going to have to think
up an appropriate punishment.

- Are you gonna chuck me out?

- I don't give up on people, Lindsay,
however hard they push me, hmm?

How do you feel, Karla?

- I don't want any more trouble, I
just want everyone to get on.

- It goes without saying that all this
can't be achieved without

an outstanding subject knowledge,
which I'm sure you all have.

As a matter of interest, how many of
you feel confidently able to teach
three languages?

Two?

One?

OK, recognise this?

It's a very common sight in MFL
classrooms, I can tell you, death by
vocab.

- Grantly, it is the entitlement of a
head teacher to introduce structural
changes.

- So it was your decision?
- No...

No, Max decided that... Well, he...

Grantly, I can't discuss this.

- Oh, look, just who the hell is in
charge here, you or him?

Hmm?

Oh, my area rep has just assured me of
his full support.

- For what?

- I intend to request permission to
ballot my membership with a view to
possible industrial action.

- Industrial action?
- Mm-hm.

Oh, we can close this place down in
five minutes.

Will do, if he so much as sets one
foot across

any of my members' classrooms.

- Of course she's gutted. How'd you
like to be going out

with the flippin' Artful Dodger?

- Shut up. Just cos he's in care
doesn't mean he's a skank.

- Well, you'd know what a skank looks
like.
- Don't start.

- I can't believe you told everyone. I
thought you were my mate.

- I am. The more people know it was a
surprise to you, less of a chavette
you look.

- It's all right, Luke.

My mum were a mess as well.
- So you told everyone?

- I told Amy. I'm sorry.

- Pathetic, mate. Don't worry about
them.

- 'Ey, I wondered if we could have a
quick chat. After school, maybe?

- You didn't want to talk before. Mum
said you walked off.

- Yeah, I know.

I was all over the place.

I'm sorry. Shock to the system.

- Tell me about it.

- I just want to put things right.

- Are you all right, Tom?

What are we having for tea tonight?
Thought we could get a chippy?

- Hey, I thought I told you it's Mr
Clarkson in school.

- Sounds like you've got other plans.

- Sorry. Look, maybe we could talk

at lunchtime?

- I suppose.

- Hiya.
- Oh, hiya. Thanks for coming and
helping. Cheers.

- Oh, it's a pleasure. Glad to be
outside, to be honest. Away from the
fallout.

- I take it you're for all Max's new
initiatives, are you?

- Well, diplomacy may evade Max at
times, but you can't argue

with moving the school forward.

- All right, is that what you call it,
is it?

All right, everybody, gather round.
We've only got until lunchtime to

get all these plants in and get all
the quotes on the fences. Do you all
know what they're doing?

Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Right, fantastic. Let's get on with
it then.

Hey, don't worry about having only one
language.

I was the same when I started. Just
flag it up at your performance review
and you're away.

We're desperate for Hispanists.

Spanish specialists.

- Yeah, yeah. I know what they are.

Right, well, I'll take it up with my
line manager.

- Oh, you'll enjoy this next session.
That's our native French speaker.

She'll be putting us all through our
paces.

It's months since I was in France.

Bonjour, comment allez-vous?

Steph?
- Just nipping to the loo. Two
minutes.

- # Meddle with her mind, meddle with
the things that are inside

# You don't know what you'll find, you
don't know what she hides

# So don't go messing with her heart
or messing with her mind

# Or messing with the things that are
inside

# You don't know what you'll find, you
don't know what she hides

# So don't go messing with her heart
or messing with her mind

# Messing with the things that are
inside

# You'll don't know what you'll find

# You don't know what she hides... #

- Good to see the kids outside,
getting stuck in.

- Yeah, it's really good when people
work together, isn't it?

Have you apologised to Rachel yet?

- I like to get things done.

Sometimes that shocks people.

She'll come round.

- No, Max, you've just undermined her
in front of the whole staff room,

never mind putting me in an impossible
situation.
- Kim.
- No, I didn't appreciate it.

- Luke... I'm dead sorry, I just
needed someone to talk to.

- So what did you say?

Did you tell her it didn't make a
difference and it don't change how you
feel about me?

- No, but it doesn't.

You're having a go at me like I was
the one taking the mick out of you.

- Oh, I'm sorry, did I miss the part
where you told her to shut up?

Or were you just about to tell that
spiteful, stuck-up

little cow to keep her nose out?

- Probably for the best.

You don't think Siobhan's

mum and dad would let her go out with
someone like you?

- Luke!
- Why did you do that?

- He's wrecked my work.

- Cooler. Now!
- That took me ages.

- Plan B?

- Just give him time to calm down,
right?

- Maybe he might respond to me. Male
role model and all that.

- Right, Tyler walks into any lesson
uninvited and we walk out, simple as.

- Why should a head teacher not have
the right to check what's

being taught in his school?

- His school? You're all the same.
Like a bunch of nodding dogs.

Yes, Max, no Max, three bags flaming
full, Max.

He says he wants outstanding teachers,

just vacuous enthusiasm.

It's easy to be enthusiastic when
you've got a bunch of bright kids.

- Hello.

Hi, Sheila.

No, no, she hasn't contacted me.

What time did she leave?

Really. OK, no, no, there's not a
problem.

No, honestly, I'm really glad that you
called me. OK, thank you.
- Are you all right?

- Yeah, I've just got to check on
something. See you later.

- # Trouble will find you no matter
where you go

# Oh, oh... #

- Mason's letting her off.
- What? No way.

- If we'd have done that to Karla,
Mason would have us arse first out of
here.

- Exactly. So if Mason isn't gonna do
it, we'll do it for her.

Lindsay James needs to learn that if
she goes against one of us, she gets
it back, ten times worse.

- But we'll get done if we do owt in
school.

- So we don't do it in school. We wait
till she's on her way home.

I can't wait to wipe that smirk off
her face.

Right, I'll see you later and don't
say a word.

Come on, Sam.

- The situation is straightforward.
You do something wrong and there

are consequences to that action, yes?

- Sir, I didn't mean...
- I'm talking, you're listening.

That's more like it. It's simple.

I say it, you do it. Look behind you.

I'm going to give you three simple
tasks, starting with

a spot of litter-picking.

You can start in the canteen, then
make your way outside.

You forgot the bib.
- I don't need

a bib.
- It's non-negotiable, Luke.

I'll be down to check on you shortly.

DOORBELL RINGS

- Hello, Steph.
- Jo...

How...?
- Did I know you'd be here?

Oh, wild guess.
- Come in.

Funnily enough, I was just about to
ring you.

I had to leave the course because I
wasn't well.

I've been sick three times.

- Something smells really good.

- Yeah, yeah. I'm just cooking
something to settle my stomach.

- Do you want to cut the crap, Steph?

You walked out. Sheila called me.

I can't actually believe you.

After everything that happened last
week.

- It was a waste of flaming time.

That Sheila McKillabody woman,
whatever you call her, she doesn't
have a clue.

- Well, that Sheila McKechnie was the
head of her department and an

AST by the time she was 24, Steph.

You know, if Max Tyler had his way,
you'd be out of a job

and if he finds out about this, you
really will be.

- I couldn't face it.

All those geeky swotty types, it's
just not me.

- Well, it's going to have to be,
because I'm not having a female

Grantly Budgen in my department.

No way!

- Do you want a glass of wine? Cup of
tea? I'll make you a cup of tea.

- No, because you're not stopping. Go
get changed. I'll tell Sheila

you're on your way.

Go on!

- Now that's what I call a headmaster.

Lets the kids and the staff know
exactly who's in charge.

I trust you won't be listening to
Grantly Budgen and his little

workshy crew?
- No, course not.

I completely support Max's reforms.

- Oi, Litter Squad, you missed one.

- And another one.

- I'm not picking that up.

- Is there a problem?
- Er, no, sir.

He's just not doing his job, innit?

- Get it picked up.
- He dropped it on purpose.

- Nah, I never, sir, he's lying.

- What does it say on your bib?

Now go and see if there's any rubbish
needs clearing at the garden project,

then report back to my office in ten
minutes.

- Miss, I've got to take any rubbish
round to recycling.

- Yeah, OK, Luke, there's some over
there.

What is he playing at?
- Ugh, look at the state of that.

- Yes, all right, thank you.

- Showing him who's boss, I'd guess.
- Humiliating him, more like.

Can you give us five minutes?
- Yeah, no problem.

- Look, maybe I can tell Miss Campbell
that Amy wound you up?

- I don't care what she thinks of me.
- You're the one that didn't tell
anyone.

Why are you angry at me when you're
embarrassed?

- No, I'm not.
- So that's why you've

lied to me for six months, is it?

Making up stories about why I couldn't
come round.

Making me feel like maybe I wasn't
good enough.

You're full of crap.

Blaming me is just easier than
admitting you're well ashamed of that
home.

- Waster.
- State of you, Pendle.

- Loser!

- What lessons are you teaching him by
getting him to pick up litter?

- Simple.

If we can't teach him to follow the
instructions and obey rules,

what chance has he got out there?

- How is ritual humiliation going to
help?

We're supposed to be doing our best to
keep him out of the system, Max.

You've got him dressed up like he's in
a chain gang.

- I'm giving Luke a lesson in who runs
this place.

- Well, when it all blows up in your
face, don't come looking for me.

- KNOCK AT THE DOOR

Right, job done?

OK, round two. Follow me.

- That's really good work, well done.

Steph!

- Hi, Sheila. Em, sorry for
disappearing like that.

- Oh, not a problem.

Any bargains to be had on the shopping
channel?

- LAUGHTER

Do you know that half of all children
in care leave school with no GCSEs?

13 per cent get five passes. Are you
going to be like that, Luke?

Or are you going to be part of the 40
per cent of prisoners who've spent

time in care? It's your decision.

You've missed a bit.

Water needs changing.
- What?

- Come on, move it.
- I'm doing it.

- Yeah, not quickly enough!

- I said, I'm doing it!
- Don't you ever speak to me like that
again.

Now get it changed.

Oi, Luke, get back here! Luke!

- To Mr Max Tyler.

We, the undersigned, protest in the
strongest possible terms

after consultation with our... Walk,
boy!

..professional organisations.

- I'm sure this is against health and
safety.

- If this falls on my foot, I'm going
to sue you.

Somebody pass me the hammer.

Thanks.
- You know, it must be hard living in
care. Have you tried asking him about
it?

- I tried. He thinks I'm embarrassed
of him.

- Oh, try again. Just make sure she's
not listening in.

Right everyone, come on, let's get
everything done now. We want to get
finished up.

- Do you want to grab a sandwich and
meet me in my room?

- Nah, I had something at break.

Was it that much of a shock to you,
finding out about me?

I bet that's really messed things up
for you.

- It was a shock, yeah.

- You must've have known I'd find you
one day?

- Well, no, I didn't.

The first I knew about you was three
weeks ago.

- Yeah, right.
- It's the truth.

Look, I'm sure your mum had her
reasons for not telling you

but I didn't even know she was
pregnant.

- So, what you saying? My mum's been
lying to me for, like, all my life?

- I'm telling you the truth.
- Yeah, your truth. You run away from
the truth.

That's why you walked off from Mum the
other day.

That's why you haven't had the guts to
speak to me till today.

- Look, Josh, I just didn't want to be
the one to tell you.

It's up to you whether you believe me
or not.
- Yeah, well, I don't.

I thought it'd be mint having a dad,
but you're just full of crap.

Just leave me alone, yeah?

Well, he could be anywhere.

I'd better let Kim know.

- So much for executive control.

- That's... That's my car.

That's my car!

Out of the way!

- This is my life, do you want to see
it?

Everyone can find out about me now!

- Out the way!

- Is this what you want? Read it!
- Come on, hurry up!

- Look out!

- Do you want to know all about me?

- Right stand back, get back!
- Get back inside!

- Luke! Stop the car.

- Read all about me!

Come on! Is this what you want?
- Luke! Stop the car.

- Dear God.

It's like the Wild West.

- It's my car!

- Luke's case files, how the hell did
he...?

Are you all right, Max? Get back!

Everybody, stay where you are!

- Luke! Luke!

- Stop, Luke! Stop!

- Are you stupid?

You could have killed someone.

- Come here, you! I am going to make
sure they lock you up and throw away
the key.

- Max, leave him alone. Let go of him.

- OK, everyone, back inside.

- As MFL teachers, we all know how
difficult it is to motivate boys.

- Like teaching turtles how to run.

- Absolutely. But what's the one thing
they respond to?

- Well, it's not forming reflexive
verbs.

- I agree, Steph, but we've got to
teach them.

The question is, can we do it in an
exciting way?

- But are we here to teach them or to
entertain them?
- Be good if we could do both.

- I've only known boys respond to two
things, and I'm sorry, boys,

but that's sex and football.

Or in fact any game that involves
winning.
- Spot on, Steph!

Boys are very competitive. You're
absolutely right, Steph.

It's why they do better in maths and
science. These are in your games
packs.

Enough to keep them going for weeks in
here.

Takes their minds off

the other thing as well.
- Thanks.

- Form rooms, now!

Right now, I would go for a job in
telesales.

- Oh, no, way too boring for me,
Rubes.

- Ah, you've got a top man, Siobhan.
Luke'll be an F1 driver before you
know it.

- What do you expect, Siobhan?

- I expect my mates not to take the
mick with all them lot.

- I'm not the one taking my personal
files for a joyride. He's a nut job.

Probably runs in the family.
- Why don't you just shut it, Amy? You
don't know Luke.

You don't know anything about him or
what he's been through.

None of us do.

- Come on.
- Max, just let me deal with him.
- No, this is a matter for the police.

Get up.

Another nail in the coffin.

- Why the hell I ever came here, I
don't know.

Why Max ever came here...

- Yes, I think we've all seen the
chaos that will rain down if he gets
his way.

- You're wasting your time, Grantly,
my love, cos Max Tyler bends to no man
and believe me, I know.

I've known him for ten years.

- I think you'll find that your friend
Max is facing a far less

servile collective than the one he was
used to in the private sector.

- You're going to have Foster's kids
on one side and Waterloo Road on the
other.

- If you've got kids, don't you want
the best for them?

You want them to be in the top flight.

- What I do know is Max's plans will
be a right kick in the teeth to the
likes of Denzil Kelly.

- The top set's great, but what does
it do for the self-esteem of the
others?

We should focus our resources on all
of the kids, irrespective

of their abilities.
- Mm.

- Well, I'm surprised at you, Jo.

I didn't think you'd be siding with
Scargill here.

- I'm on the side of what's best for
the kids, Ruby.

- Oh, absolutely.

It is...it's they who are important
here.
- Dead right, Grantly.

- Think about what you're doing, Jo.
- She's a big girl.

- Jo.

- A majority.

And now all we need is a delegation.

- Here we go. I think that's most of
them.

- Chris...

Look, can you take Luke out for a
second, please?

- Come on.
- Stay with him.

I'm calling the police.
- Max, hang on.

Just calm down, all right. Nobody got
hurt.
- Oh, are you

forgetting that he nearly killed you?

- Please, please, for me. OK? Let's
just deal with this on our own.

He doesn't need any more discipline.

He just needs a little bit of TLC.

Max?

- This is Max Tyler, Waterloo Road
Executive Head.

I'd like to report a serious incident.

Yes, please.

- I'm just outside. Work quietly.

- Sam's upset.
- Why?

- She says you've been off with her
all morning and then you told her not
to call you Tom.

- I didn't mean to upset her, but she
has to keep boundaries in school.

- But you never did with Chlo.

- That was different.

Look, this thing with Josh... It's all
gone... I've blown it.

He thinks I'm lying about

not knowing about him. The whole
thing's a complete mess.

- Oh, love, I'm sorry...

Well, listen, you meet up with him
tonight.

I'll take the kids, you sort things
out with Josh.

- Are you sure?
- 'Course.

This is really important for you.

- The thing is, I don't think I'm ever
going to get through to him.

I'd best get back.

Right, too much noise!

- Not as bad as you expected, eh?

- Well, I've learned a couple of new
tricks.

- You lack confidence

and, dare I say it, you're stuck in
your ways.

La verite vaut bien qu'on passe

quelques annees sans la trouver.

- The truth is more valuable if it
takes a few years to find it.

- Parfait.

- Merci.

- Josh, hi. Can I have a word?

I'm Sam's mum and Mr Clarkson's
partner.

And, no, Josh, listen, I just want to
say I know that I know

that Tom, Mr Clarkson, would really
like to make a go of getting to know
you

and I just thought you might like to
maybe meet him after school?

- Did he ask you to ask me?
- Oh, God, no. What I mean is just...

Oh, give him a chance.

- Why should I give him a chance?

- I know I shouldn't be sticking my
nose in here,

but I've got five kids from four
fathers.

Yeah, four. And not one of them's
worth a carrot next to Tom Clarkson.

There's no way he'd have left your mum
to bring you up on her own.

- You don't know that.

- Actually, I do.

He's a smashing bloke, he's warm and
kind, he's funny...

You know, he'd do anything for any of
my lot.

- Well, he's done nothing for me.

- He's not had the chance, Josh, and I
know you've had to grow up

without a dad and that's tough.

But he'd have given anything to have
been part of your life.

He can never get the last 14 years
back and I think that's what's been
eating him up.

He's been a nightmare.

Just hear him out, Josh.

I know he'd love to work things out
between you two.

- Why, love?

Why did you do it?
- I don't know.

I just lost it.
- The police are on their way.

I'm going to hand this over to them.

- What'll happen to him?
- He'll end up with a criminal record.

- Well, if he does, it'll be what he
deserves.

- Luke?

Luke, why don't you tell Mr Tyler why
you ended up in care?

It's OK.

- When my dad left my mum and started
his new family, she just

couldn't look after us any more.

- Right, and what age were you?

- I was six.

- Maybe this'll be the shock he needs.

- Absolutely, it will.
- What's the point?

- Loins girded, everyone.

- Kim...
- Ah.

Pending approval from the union,

our commitment to meeting intimidation
and threats

with an immediate walk-out.
- I hope you know what you're doing.

- That's exactly what I was going to
ask you.

The majority of the staff have signed.

Yes, including some from your old
establishment.

When you've had a look, I suggest we
sit down and discuss this properly.

- I know Budgen's pre-Cambrian but I'm
surprised at Tom Clarkson. Even Jo
Lipsett's signed it!

- This is just some kind of power
thing, innit?

- It's always about power when you're
trying to reform a place like this.

- And you're using a young vulnerable
boy to show how tough you can be.

- Personal attacks.

I thought they'd come.

You're beginning to annoy me, Kim.

- Yeah, advice from colleagues does
annoy you. I had noticed.

- When the advice is to dish out
tender loving care

to kids who clearly need a kick up the
backside, that annoys me.

- Really glad that you value my
professional opinion.

- I do value your professional
opinion, Kim.

- There's a signature missing.
- Why are you taking it personally?

- He hasn't told anybody that he's in
care, not even his girlfriend.

Oh, Max, you can roll your eyes at me
as much as you want, but do

you know what? You've failed him.

It is your responsibility to make sure
that kids like Luke stay out

of the system, and all you've done is
threaten him and humiliate him.

And then now what, you're going to get
him thrown into a cell?

Let me give you some PROFESSIONAL
advice -

unless you get to grips with the
pastoral issues in this school,

you can kiss all your little reforms
goodbye.
- Kim...
- No!

- # There's a drumming noise inside my
head that starts when you're around

# I swear you could hear it, it makes
such an almighty sound

# There's a drumming noise inside my
head that throws me to the ground

# I swear you should hear it... #

- Thanks for coming. Max Tyler.

Look, could you give me five minutes
with him?

- Sure.

- The police will be in here shortly
to charge you.

Can you think of one good reason why
that shouldn't happen?

- No, sir.

- Miss Campbell thinks I should give
you a second chance. Is she right?

- She's all right, Miss Campbell.

- Yes, she is.

Thing is, Luke, when you leave here in
two years' time, Miss Campbell doesn't
leave with you.

You have to stand on your own two
feet.

What I did today

was to try and make you realise that
in life, bad things happen,

you have to be ready.

Which means ready to accept authority.

- Sir, things just went a bit...

I fell out with my girlfriend and
everyone was having a go at me.

- Yes, I heard about that.

Don't ever be ashamed of your
background, Luke.

Just work hard so it's not an issue.

That's what I did.

When you came to John Fosters,

I was delighted.

I said, "Now there's a lad with the
brains to really

achieve something in life."

You do want to achieve something?

University?

Career?
- Definitely.

I want to be a lawyer.
- Good.

But you won't get there if you can't
show respect for the people in charge.

And in this place, that's me.

I'm going to inform the police

that we'll be handling this incident.

I'll give you a second chance.

A final chance.

The onus will be on you from now.

Think you can handle it?
- I can, sir, yeah.

- Best decision you've made all day.

- Sir? Thank you.

- Well, do you think she'll have her
gang with her?

- She's not going to know what's hit
her.

- Are you two talking about Lindsay?

I don't want any more trouble. I told
Miss Mason that.

- Don't worry. You won't have any more
trouble off Lindsay.

- You're going to give her trouble?

Miss Mason sorted everything out,
Lindsay apologised.

- She's going to be apologising all
over the pavement once we've finished
with her.

- What are you going to do?

- We're going to kick her head in on
the way home.

We're doing it for you, Karla.

- Well, I'm sure Max'll see off the
rebels.

- Don't underestimate Grantly.

He's crafty.
- Is that a sneaking admiration I can
hear?

- Hey, Karla, what's up?
- It's Michaela White, Miss.

- Oh, she's not having a go at you as
well, is she?

- No, Michaela's going to kick
Lindsay's head in. They're going to
get her on her way home.

- Right. Where does Lindsay live?
- At 57 Wilton Street.

- Have you got your car keys?
- Yeah.

- OK, Karla, you've done the right
thing, don't worry.

- Should I let Max know?

- That's up to you, Chris.

- Come on.

- Oh, Siobhan, cheer up. They're not
going to lock Luke up.

- She's in a mood because I've been
having a go at him.

You're with us now. We're more
important than some poxy lad.
- Yeah.

Look, anyone gives you any grief

tomorrow, you just let me know, yeah?

- Part of the crew.

- What did Miss Mason say about you
and Karla?

- Shut up, Em. It's sorted.

I said I'm sorry and that's it.

She's still a nosey little cow.

- Well, I think we should've turned
right back there.
- Look, there they are.

Right, I think we can cut them off
this end.

- They're coming. Siobhan and that
slag Amy's with her as well, and her
little sister.

- Right, get back, hide. Don't go till
I say go.

- We're not going to hurt her little
sister, though, are we?
- It's Lindsay I'm after. No-one else.

- Oh, we must have missed them. Look,
Wilton Street's up there.

Shall we try it anyway?
- This is unreal.

When did girls get like this?

- You out tonight, Shuv?
- No, I'm going to Luke's.

- What do you want to go to that
skankhouse for? I thought you'd
finished with him.

- I never said that. You did.

You did all the talking today and look
what happened. I can think for myself,
Amy.

- You all right, Linds?

Having a nice time with your little
mates?

- I see you need all of yours. Dead
brave of you.

- Huh, coming from someone who beats
up special needs kids?

- You'll have special needs if you
touch me.
- Leave her alone!

- Get out!
- Touch her and you're dead.

- You think you can do one of ours and
get away with it? No chance.

This is for Karla.

This is for me.

- Lindsay!
- Leave us alone!

Come on, we're going.

- SCREAMING AND SHOUTING

- That is enough!
- You lot, pack it in!
- Now, come on!

- Lindsay, come here!

Get up, get off her.

Lindsay!
- That is enough, all of you!
- What do you think you are doing?

- What do you call this, girls, eh?
The law of the jungle?

Retribution dressed up as loyalty,
Michaela?

Right, this stops now.

Get home, the lot of you!

- Go home, all of you.
- Move! Go on all of you get home!
Now.

- This is not finished, do you
understand?
- Yes, it is finished, or you are.

No exams, no future.

I will kick you out of Waterloo Road
before you can blink.

You think that's funny?

Try me.

- I thought you were gonna kill her.

- What do you want?

- One very contrite young man to see
you.

- Hey, Miss. I'm sorry about the
garden and everything.

- What's happened?

- I took your advice.

We're going to deal with this
in-house.

- Less rules, more responsibilities.

- He's not getting away scot-free.
We're still going to keep him behind
for the next two or three weeks.

- Thank you, Max. See you later.

- See you.

- The pastoral approach is the only
way we're going to get through to that
lad.

I'm saying you were right, Kim.

- Hi. I wasn't sure you'd turn up.

Thanks for seeing me.

Everything all right with your mum?

- No.

She tried to tell me she did it for
all the right reasons.

I can't see any reason to lie like
that.

- She's looked after you all your
life.

Maybe she was worried I was someone
that didn't care you existed.

- Your girlfriend came to see me.

- Sorry, I didn't put her up to that.

- She's like your number one fan.

- Yeah, she's also in the running for
Nosiest Girlfriend Of The Year award.

No contest.

- It don't change anything, you know,
you being this great guy.

I'm still nothing to you.

- Hey, come on. I'd have run a mile if
you were nothing to me.

- Isn't that what you did?

- I'm here now.

- I don't mean to be funny or
anything, but I'm a little bit
disappointed.

It's just,

for years I thought about you, what
you're going to be like.

Are you rich? Do you have a posh car?

You was like this imaginary hero to
me.

- Super Teacher.

- I just went on at my mum.

She said you'd done one to shut me up,
I think.

So I thought you must be a scumbag.

I know you're not.

- Listen, I think we should move away
from blaming your mum.

I want to try and

have a sort of relationship.

If that's what you want.

For next Saturday.

I thought we could go.
- I don't like football.

- Right, no problem.

Sorry, I thought you might...

- You thought what? That maybe we
could

do the whole father and son gig?

You don't know me.

- No, you're right, I don't.

But I'm trying.

I want to get to know you.
- Why?

- You're not making this easy, are
you?

I don't know why. I know that without
me, you wouldn't be living and
breathing,

being a pain in the backside.

Is that enough?

- Who's playing?

- I can handle you not liking
football.

At least you're not a United fan.

- # Glory, glory, Man United... #

- The boy's a comedian.

- I didn't mean to disparage your
professionalism, Kim.

Good pastoral care is the lifeblood of
a school.

But we can agree to disagree about our
approach,

can't we? I made a mistake and I've
tried to put it right.

- Yeah, but d'you know what? You
should have just trusted

and respected my opinion in the first
place.

- Yes.

Look, if you want to close the doors
on us...

- No, I don't want to close the door
on us.

You've just got a lot of grovelling to
do.

- I can do grovelling.

- Hi.
- Hiya.

Er, Max has decided to let Luke off,
he's not getting

the police involved.

- Oh, right. Well, that's a good
decision.

- Yes, yes. Easy one, really.

He's too good a student to risk
losing.

Chris, I was looking for you earlier.

- Yeah, I had to help Rachel.

Lindsay James and Michaela White

had a fight outside school.

- What? Was anyone hurt?

- No, but it confirms my fear that
we've got a serious

gang problem, and Michaela and Lindsay
are at the head of it.

- We need to sort this as quickly as
possible.
- Absolutely right.

It needs all our attention.

- I think that if we can unite, we can
put a stop to it.

- Absolutely.

- So what about the petition, hm?

- I think we could set up a little
arbitration service.

- Really? Are you willing to make a
compromise?

- Not on delivering quality teaching,
no.

- Well, I think we can support that,

as long as it is a collaboration with
the staff, not spying on them.

- Yes, if the sets are all in place,
I'm sure that even the less able
teachers will do better.

- OK, I'm going to get rid of my
wellies and stuff.

I'll see you in a bit.

- Er, Rachel, thank you.

For going to help sort that out.

- Right. No, I just think the girls
needed a reminder of who's in charge.

- Maybe we could kick around a few
ideas. Form a strategy?

I think we need to have a new regime
of trust and openness.

- Absolutely.

- It's lovely.

- Yeah, it's all right.

Go on, shift.

- I told Amy to bog off.

- Yeah?

Thanks.

- I didn't know you could drive.

- I can't!

- So what's going to happen to you?

- Mr Tyler's given him a second
chance. It's heads down and graft.

No more sleepovers, staying out past
ten. You understand?

- I thought they were going to kick
you out.

- Nah, just means Tyler's going to be
on my case, but I'll be all right.

Look, I'm sorry that I lied.

I mean, I'm just glad it's out now.

It'll be a big relief not having to
look both ways

every time I leave this place. Look,
d'you want to stay for tea?

- It's OK, I'd better get back.

- It'll be all right. Please?

- Yeah, OK.

I'm going to have to play the pastoral
card, help curb this little battle.

Have you come up with anything?

- Not really.

But the staff are split pretty much as
you'd expect. But I think for the
mo...

- Guys, I'm almost done, so I'll see
you tomorrow.

- Thanks, Rachel.
- See you, Rachel.

- See you.

- I mean, apart from Grantly and a few
others, the Waterloo Road crowd are
really positive, pro-school people.

- That's good.
- I think the majority of them accept
that we need to change a few things...

but...
- They don't like my methods.

- Yeah.

- Well, I said I'd compromise. See you
tomorrow.

- # Run, run, run away

# Lost, lost, lost my mind

# Want you to stay, want you to be my
prize

# Run, run, run away, lost, lost, lost
my mind

# Want you to stay, want you to be my
prize... #

- Ladies and gentlemen, a very warm
welcome to our Open Day.

I'm here to oversee the redevelopment
of Waterloo Road.

- Have you two noticed anything
strange about Steph lately?

- It's OK, Max, I'll keep our secret.

I don't want our relationship getting

in the way any more than you do.

- I'm really not happy about being
dragged into this.
- I know. I appreciate it.

- You're having an affair, aren't you?
- It's not an affair.

- I can't help but feel there's been a
bit of a different vibe between us
lately.

- I'm trapped here, like the rest of
them.

- Ruby, shall we have a little chat?
