Original subtitles

- Stop being daft and go to the doctor. - I don't believe in pills.

- Adam and I have something to tell you. - We're getting married. - Yeah.

I've called your parents. I've recommended that they don't let you see each other.

- I made a mistake. - You can't be a teacher and pop tranquillisers like they're M&Ms.

- Will you stay with me?

I'm not going anywhere.

- I just feel a bit sorry for her.

- Adam, are you sure that's not exactly what she's hoping for?

You mustn't let her get too dependent on you.

- Thank you so much, I just think you're brilliant.

- Look, as long as you're OK, that's all... Ruby!

- KNOCKING

Hello, Ruby. - What are you doing here?

- I thought I'd catch you before you left. Can I come in?

- Yes, OK.

- Ruby. - Oh, it's a fixer-upper, this.

You know me, I just love a project.

- I came to tell you I'm filing for divorce.

I think it's best. I need to start drawing a line under this.

- Divorce, John, it's a bit drastic.

I don't understand. When did you decide?

- I can't spend the rest of my life waiting around for you to sort yourself out, to get help.

- What help?

I don't need help, I'm doing fine!

- You're still on the pills.

Bank statements, Ruby.

If you're going to buy them online, don't use our joint account, eh?

- You're a private detective, now, are you? - Well, I clearly can't

believe anything YOU tell me.

As long as you're on those things, you're not my Ruby.

- Fine. Fine.

Fine!

File for a divorce. You know, it'll be mercifully quick, it's not like

we've got anything left to divvy up.

- Any...special kind of nappy?

..Yeah... Yes, I'm sure.

I'll see you later.

You're not actually going to tell me what's in this thing, are you?

- All will be revealed next week.

- Remember, I said a quiet wedding! - Yeah.

I can still make a bit of a fuss.

- Have you seen those two?

Eh! You two, my office. Now, please.

- What?

- It's not a discussion. Let's go.

- Chris, I'll meet you in there. - Yeah.

Hiya, Ruby, how's it going?

- Fine, mustn't grumble.

- I'm going to have to call on your organisational skills.

I need someone to take over the end-of-year Prom Committee.

Think you're up to it? - I thought the students were doing that.

- Yes, they are, they are, but I need an experienced hand to guide them.

Want to come to the management meeting? - Yeah.

- All right, I'll see you there.

- Morning.

Ruby, will you just relax? I didn't tell her.

- Oh, right, thank you.

I was just a bit worried, you know, with your engagement and everything.

- I couldn't see any reason to tell her, it was just a silly misunderstanding.

- So, as you know, your parents have been in contact with the school following the events of last week.

- Mine haven't. - Just listen!

- They're very concerned.

They want us to keep you apart during school hours.

- You what? - Please, Miss. - No. You'll stay away from each other

at break times and we'll keep you separated in lessons.

- No, you can't do that. - Er, we can do whatever we like,

if it means keeping the discipline in this school.

- And please may I have your mobile phones?

Come on, mobile phones, you'll get them back after school.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mr Mead, can you take Finn to his class? - Yes.

- Don't worry, they can't keep us apart.

- Oh, come on, Romeo.

- Amy, I'm sorry, but your parents were very clear about this.

- They want me to be miserable, so do you. Why can't you all leave us alone?

- No, they're very keen to move you to another school.

I persuaded them to give you, and us, another chance.

So the rest is down to you.

You know, with a bit of time apart, you might realise it's... - What?

That I don't really love him at all? That it's just a teenage crush?

Yeah, right. - Come and wait in the cooler.

Amy, you've been with Mason. What did she want?

- They're not letting me see Finn.

You could at least feel sorry for me. - It's your fault this has happened.

I'm happy. You're a right prat when you're with him.

- Yeah, well, even if I try and see him now, my parents are going to

send me to a different school.

- Then don't. Just do what Miss Mason says

and stop being such an idiot over him.

Don't be so lame, Sam, you've got to go. - It'll be a laugh, Sam.

- Look, I'm not going.

- Ow!

What's all that about? - She's not going to the prom, reckons her mum can't afford it.

- I said my dad'd pay, she's all

like, "Oh, I'm not a charity case."

- It's so not fair! I'm not going if Sam doesn't.

- Rachel, Sam Kelly can't afford it, and I don't think she'll be the only one.

I just think it's a lot to ask the kids to pay that much money. - We're talking funding for the prom.

Steph, I do hear what you're saying, but I can't exactly write a blank cheque

for every single school party we have, can I?

- I mean, is it fair for the kids to be priced out of their own prom?

Maybe we could think of some ways to fundraise, subsidise it?

- I'm sure I could get the staff to do something. - The fire station did a calendar last year.

They raised loads for their Christmas do.

Steph, I'm sure you can come up with something. - Yeah, OK.

- And if you're so keen, why don't you help Ruby organise it? - Don't worry, Rubes, I won't tread on your toes.

- Ruby, I want you to get Amy Porter involved in the committee. - I thought she was in the tower.

- Yeah, the other pupils might see that as a reward.

I've got to get her involved in something positive.

She's just moping around.

Well, maybe Ruby could supervise her all day then,

a bit of consistency?

Great, and get the kids involved in ideas to keep the costs down.

- Ooh, we could get, erm...

Adam maybe to do some catering.

Crudites, or canapes and things.

- Well, actually, Adam isn't going to be there on the last day.

- No Adam? - Actually, I'm not

going to be there either.

- It's not like you to miss the last day of term. Must be important.

- Yeah, getting married...

- Yes, tell us something we don't know.

- ..on that day.

- Eh, you sly old fox!

Come on, then, when's the knees-up? - Oh, no, honestly, no fuss,

it's just going to be the two of us, quiet.

- Oh, boring!

Well, the secretive little devil!

- I can't believe Adam didn't tell me.

- It's not just the money, is it? It's cos you want to go with Bolton.

If you fancy him, why don't you just ask him?

The worst he can say is no.

Or...why don't you go with someone else?

Look, if he sees you with another bloke, he's going to be well jealous.

Definitely make a move.

- But who am I supposed to go with?

Don't even dare say Josh. - No.

- Paul Langley?! - He's well desperate.

He's been asking everyone. - Thanks, Lauren.

- Just ask him. - OK.

- Watch Bolton's face!

- All right? - All right?

- I was talking to Paul.

Um...d'you want to go to the prom with me?

- Erm... Yeah. Of course.

- Great.

- Yes! Score, mate.

- Move, man!

- What's up with you?

- DOORBELL RINGS

Here we go.

- You are an absolute lifesaver.

- I've got time for a quick cuppa, if you're making one? - D'you know what?

I've got the midwife coming in

a minute, otherwise, I would. Sorry.

- It's no problem. I should get back anyway.

Year tens. - Oh.

Well, er, I'll make it up to you later.

- Yeah? - Yeah. - Yeah, I'm counting on it.

- Go on. Go on, see to your flock.

You'll be with me whenever you're not in lessons,

so get used to it, because I am not in the mood for any lip, Amy.

And also, Miss Mason has asked me to head up a prom committee and

she's asked for you to be included.

Obviously, it's a privilege which I

can withdraw if there's any trouble.

- There won't be any trouble, Miss. - Good.

Well, hopefully, getting your teeth into something might help.

You can do it and enjoy it, or you can do it with a face like a smacked bum,

it's up to you.

Go on.

This is a really great turnout, everyone.

Right, OK, I'm sure you've all got loads of ideas... Excuse me.

..so... Come on, please. ..so let's hear them. Fire away.

- Er, beach party. Loads of girls,

skimpy bikinis, alcohol.

LAUGHTER

- Ew! No, it should be more glamorous, you know, like the magazines and that,

so it should be... gowns and bow ties and stuff.

- Yeah, you could do it like a red carpet event, Miss.

Like a film premiere, or something. - Oh, like the Oscars?

Yeah, the Oscars with beer and loads of grimey dubstep.

- Whoa, whoa, we haven't got enough in the budget for all of this.

- Yeah, you'll have to start figuring out ways to get some extra cash, if you want to do all these.

And in the meantime... Steph, could you get on to the hotel, please?

..I thought - music,

Bolton and Paul, thank you very much.

Design team is going to be Aleesha and Danielle.

And advertising, Amy, Siobhan, can you do that?

Yeah? OK. I want everybody to get involved and I want you to crack on.

- I wasn't expecting you to be here. - It's good to see you.

It's nice to think about something else for a while.

- I've got a great idea

to raise some more cash, to do a... - SHE WHISPERS

- Are you OK?

- John's divorcing me.

- Oh, Rubes!

I'm sorry. Has he met someone else?

- No. No, it's not like that.

D'you know, actually, it's for the best.

- OK, well, anyway, you know you've always got a shoulder to cry on,

or a bottle of vino chez moi, if you need it.

- Do you want to finish this at lunch? We could go to the art room.

- I'm not allowed. This is what it's going to be like when I have to move schools.

I'm never going to be able to hang out with you. - It won't come to that.

- Shuv, could you do me a massive favour?

Could you give this to Finn for us?

- Ames... - No, it's not what you think.

I just need to explain to him that I need to

cool it a bit. My parents are mad at me, there's all this, and...

I've lost all my mates.

- You've not. - Finn's just so intense.

I need some space.

- OK. Look, it's not always going to be like this, Ames.

You're being dead brave.

- Cheers, Shuv.

- Right, young lady, come on.

- What you saying?

- What? - What you saying?

- Nothing.

- Erm...you got a date for the prom yet?

- No.

- Well, how about me and you go together? You know, for old times' sake.

- Never going to happen, Bolton.

- Here you go.

That's brilliant.

See, you can still function without Romeo.

- Hardly thought about him at all.

What?

- Oh, pull the other one, Amy.

- Yeah, I miss him, all right?

Happy?

- No, of course not. It's a horrible feeling, missing somebody that you love.

- I know you all think we're dead stupid. That we're just little kids

and we don't know anything about it. - You know, nobody has all the answers

when it comes to love and heartbreak, and it isn't just kids.

Adults are just as capable of feeling like you do.

- So why are you all trying to split us up?

- No-one is suggesting that you lose Finn forever. - But I could do.

He could just find somebody else and not have any of this crap.

- Well, not if he loves you like you say he does.

He's not going to lose interest, Amy, just because you started

behaving yourself.

- I don't know what I'd do without him.

- Well, maybe that's your problem.

Cos it's not a good idea to put all of your trust into one person.

It can leave you feeling...

..very lost when they're not there.

- Yes, girls...

What is it?

- What are you doing? - I need you to give this letter to Amy.

- I'm not doing it, Finn. Just keep me out of it, yeah?

This whole thing, it's well psycho.

- You what? - Why don't you just leave Amy alone now?

She's trying to move on. - Er, Finn!

- It's them.

- Yeah, it always is, isn't it?

Right. Experiment time.

Sam, if you can hand these goggles out for me, please... Thank you.

- Amy!

- Finn!

All right.

- Who was that?

Finn, he's legged it.

Right, you lot, stay here and no noise.

Where are you going?

- AMY! AMY! AMY!

- It'll be a proper calendar, with us as the months.

- KNOCKING

- You holding a copy of Macbeth, looking all learned.

- Told you they couldn't stop us. - Babe, listen, make like you're getting over it, yeah?

They'll leave us alone if we do what they say.

- Won't they think they've won? - Didn't Shuv give you the letter? - No. What letter?

- I've figured out a way to see you tonight. - Why anyone would be interested in paying

good money to see our faces...

- I'll go Shuv's, get her to cover, then I'll come to yours.

We can't mess that up, can we?

- The kids would buy it for a laugh, Grantly, they love it when we don't

take ourselves too seriously.

Anyway, listen, I've got to get off, just think about it, Mr September.

- What...the...hell... do you think you are doing, boy?

Finn! What do you think you're playing at?

- Just do what they say for now, yeah?

- I just wanted to see Amy, sir, sorry.

- Get back to the science lab now! - Trust me.

- Sit.

- Ruby...hi. - Hmm...

I fancied my cup of tea with a friendly face.

I saw John this morning. - Oh, Ruby, that's great. So you're talking again?

You must be really pleased.

- Oh, you look busy, I'll come back.

- Er, I am a bit, yeah.

- Well... Well, maybe later?

- Yeah, yeah.

- What is that?

- What do you think? Is it a bit fancy?

- It's beautiful.

I thought you would have wanted to tell me. - We're trying to keep it low key, so keep it under your hat.

- Wow. She's a lucky girl.

God, you must both be so excited.

I don't know what I'm going to do without you.

- Well, I mean, it's all been a bit of a rush. There's loads to sort out.

We've got the rings, the honeymoon.

I must have every brochure in Rochdale,

and then there's the flat. I'm moving in with Rachel,

because we don't want to be coming back to two properties.

- Can I help? - No, we've got it covered, but cheers.

Look, I've got a lesson in ten minutes, but first, I've got to ring the estate agent's.

I'm putting my property on the market, so, er...just...

Yeah, hi. It's Adam...

- Well, it sounds great. Who else is in? - Grantly.

Mind you, it cost me half a bottle of whisky and two lessons covered.

What about you, Jo?

- Oh, no, I'll pass, thanks. I want to keep my head down

till the end of term.

- Oh, come on! We need you.

Anyway, we've got to cash in on the pink pound.

- D'you know what? After the last few weeks, I'd really rather not be Waterloo Road's gay icon, thanks.

- Anyway, I'm going to ring this friend of mine, Zoe.

She's, like, a proper professional photographer. - Superb.

- Yeah, sorted.

- Oh, right.

..No, no, it's fine.

I'll pick something up for us on the way over to yours, then.

You can be in charge of after-dinner games...

Well, it was worth a try.

I'll be over to yours about seven-ish... Hello?

Kim, are you still there?

..Ah. OK, well, I'll let you get back to him then...

Yeah, OK, I'll see you...

Bye... Steph, your baby-sitting services are no longer required.

Thanks, anyway. - Is everything OK?

- Yeah, she just doesn't want to leave Dexter. He gets a bit upset when she's not around.

I'm going to have dinner at hers though. - Cosy night in, bottle of wine. Could be worse.

- It's the new going out. And...nearer the bedroom.

- Are you all right, Miss?

- No. - What's all that on your dress?

- Oh... - What's happened, Miss?

- Nothing. It's fine.

Erm...

I need to...

Yeah...

- # ..Never lazy

# I can swear that I ain't crazy

# Faultless every time

# It's coming on... #

Since when did you fancy Langers then?

- Well, he's cute, and... I like emo boys. - He's all hair.

- And who are YOU taking? - I've got

loads of girls queuing up, me.

Just need to decide who makes the final cut.

- Yeah. Invisible queue, is it?

- Keep them closed, keep them closed. - They are closed! - Forward, forward,

forward... - Oh, I don't like it!

Adam... Adam?

- Here lie the remains of our wedding cake.

- Oh, love, I'm so sorry.

All that effort you've gone to. - Forget it. It's my fault for

leaving the door unlocked.

- Your fault? It's not your fault. This is vicious.

Who's done this? I think I might have an idea.

Finn Sharkey and Amy Porter, they have both got axes to grind with me today,

and we know what they're capable of.

- Look, you don't know it's either of them.

- No, I don't know that, but I'm going to find out. I'm sorry, love.

Amy, can I have a word, please?

Can I have a word, please?!

- Ms Mason, the production meeting for the prom went really well.

There was loads of great ideas. And Amy's volunteered to do the poster.

- That's great.

Erm, Mrs Fry, can you tell me, was Amy left alone at all this morning?

- Erm, for a moment or two. - Thanks.

There was an act of vandalism earlier today.

A cake that Mr Fleet made was deliberately ruined.

Did you go anywhere near the kitchens this morning?

- No, Miss. - Are you sure? Because Mrs Fry just said that you were left alone.

- I didn't go anywhere. I was here.

- Really? You know what, if you are responsible, it's important that

you're honest and you own up,

because I will find out who did this.

- It wasn't me, Miss. - It wouldn't exactly be out of character, would it?

You'd better not be lying, Amy.

Mrs Fry?

Why was Amy Porter left on her own, when I gave specific instructions for that not to happen?

- Erm, well, it wasn't for long.

- It doesn't need to be long.

Why was she left at all?

Huh?

- Erm...

Yeah, it won't happen again.

- Thank you.

# Let go of the fear

# Let go of the fear

# Let go of the fear... #

- You could always give me a hand, you know. - Mr Mead, can I have

a word, please? - Yeah.

- Erm, has Finn been left unsupervised today?

- Er, yeah. He bolted earlier.

I went after him, but he managed

to get in a word with Amy. Why?

- Adam made a wedding cake, it was supposed to be a surprise, and someone's destroyed it.

- Who'd do that?

- I don't know. Someone with a grudge.

Did he go anywhere near the kitchens?

- No. He hasn't been out of my sight for more than a minute or two.

- OK. Thanks, Chris.

- Mrs Fry, a word?

Er, this isn't easy, but the cake I was making Rachel earlier, it was ruined. Smashed up.

Do you know anything about it? - Should I?

- Rachel's convinced it's a pupil

with a grudge, but I can't help thinking that she's only half right.

And I can't let one of the kids take the blame for this. I did leave you with it.

- Are you seriously suggesting, Adam, that I ruined your cake?

And what would be your reasoning?

- Well, I don't know why. Maybe hard feelings cos of last week, the kiss?

- You know, if you spent more than two minutes thinking about something

other than your ruddy wedding,

you would know that I've got more important things to think about

than some aborted snog with a cook!

- You are just too much! I mean, you're that self-obsessed,

there's no room in your head for anything else. - I thought that

we were friends.

- You just make it difficult for people to care about you sometimes.

Hi. - Hi! - Er, any joy with the cake thing? - Come in.

I spoke to Amy.

She denied it. Apparently, Finn couldn't have even been there.

I don't know, though, Adam. I don't feel like I'm getting the full story.

- Erm...

I think I know who did this.

In fact, I'm pretty sure.

Er...

It was Ruby. - Ruby? - Yeah. Erm...

I'm sorry I haven't said anything, but

last week, at her flat, she tried to kiss me.

- What? - I mean, yeah, I stopped it. I got out of there as quick as

I could, and everything...

- Wait a minute, you should have...

told me that. - I should have told you,

but I didn't.

And this morning, she came to see me. She saw the cake.

I just think it's a bit... hard for her.

I mean, I took on too much. I allowed her to rely on me. I just...

I don't know. - But why would she do that?

- Well, she's emotionally unstable.

- Unstable? That's unhinged! Adam...

..why didn't you tell me that that was going on?

- Nothing was going on. That's the point. This was all fantasy on her behalf.

I mean, this is insecurity. She thinks she needs me, or something.

I don't know.

- I want to speak with her. - I already

have, I've already spoken to her. Look, this is my problem.

- No, it's not, Adam. If what you're saying is true, today, she almost

let a child take the fall for her.

She was there when I was talking to Amy. She didn't say a word.

This is something I've got to deal with.

- Did you give him the letter?

- Not yet. Haven't had time.

- I'm dead chuffed we're mates again, Shuv.

Do you want to hang out tonight? I could stay at yours.

What do you reckon?

I could bring some snacks and we could...

curl up and watch a film, like we used to.

I'll even let you choose. - So, what,

you come to ours for a sleepover, and then suddenly, you have to pop out,

and you get me to cover for you in case your parents ring? - No.

- Oh, shut up, Amy. I've read the letter.

I know you're seeing Finn tonight. - Oh, my God!

That letter was for Finn, not for you, you nosy cow!

- I can't believe I thought you gave a crap about me.

I feel like such an idiot. - No, you're

not, you're just a dead good mate.

Please, Shuv, I really need you to help me.

I need to see him. You've seen what it's like here.

- Why should I?

- Cos...if you cared about me at all, you would do this.

- I DO care about you.

But I'm not doing it.

- But I told him I had a plan,

that I'd sort it. I can't just let him down!

- Right, anything you girls would care to share with this classroom?

- No, Miss. Sorry. - I don't care about your little tiff, I just want some quiet in this classroom.

- Amy's using me to see Finn, Miss.

- Get on with it.

- Fine. I'll sort it myself then.

- Oh, he's there. Go on, walk sexy.

- What? - It's Paul. It's him you need

to flirt with. Stick your norks out. - Lauren,

I don't actually want him to fancy me, y'know. - All right?

Ooh! Are you OK? - Yeah. Sorry.

- PHONE RINGS

Hiya, yeah...

- I think Paul's well in with Sambuca, y'know.

- Nah, they're just using each other.

She doesn't actually like him.

- You're such a doughnut, Bolton. - Eh?

- Why don't you just ask her out?

- Cos I don't want to go out with her.

- So why are you always gawping at her?

- She ain't my type.

What would I want with Sam Kelly? - I'm going to go with you.

- Yeah?

- Well, someone's got to. And I feel sorry for you.

But if you try anything, I will

turn those into a pair of these.

- # There's a drumming noise inside my head and it starts

# When you're around... #

- Can I just pop to the loo, please, Miss?

- I don't think so, Amy. Sit down, please.

- I'll only be a minute! - Finn's with

Mr Mead, Amy. He's behaving himself.

You wouldn't have five minutes with him before you're frogmarched back here.

- It's important.

- Erm, right, OK, how do I explain that to Miss Mason?

"Oh, yeah, I know we said we would keep Finn and Amy separated, but

this was important." Sit down.

- I helped you out earlier, Miss.

- You can just be quiet, cos I don't want any more of your backchat, do you understand me? Sit down.

- Do you want me to tell Miss Mason about the cake?

- I can see it's your intention to humiliate me. - Sod you, then.

- Do you know what? I don't want your teenage melodramatics paraded round my classroom. - Oh, my God!

- THEY SHOUT OVER EACH OTHER

- Oh, my God!

Get off! - Just get in there! Get in there!

- Miss, you've locked her in. You can't do that. - I just did.

- Sit down!

What's going on in here? Ruby, are you OK?

- Will you let me out, please, Miss?

- Kids, will you go and stand in the hall, please? And be very quiet.

- Amy?

- Ruby, go and wait in my office.

Amy? - She just started on me, Miss.

- Why? What did you do? How did you provoke her?

I will ask your classmates. Tell me what happened.

- I just saw Finn...

I only wanted to talk to him!

Well, she just flipped out on me. It's all Siobhan's fault. I wrote him a letter,

all she had to do was give it to him and none of this would've happened.

- Where's the letter?

- Miss Fry confiscated it. She put it in her desk.

- Go and wait in the cooler. I'll be along in a minute.

- I need to see Finn.

- You won't be seeing Finn. That is the last thing that's going to happen. Go on!

Oh, no.

- OK, come on in, chaps and chapesses.

Hope you're all ready for your close-ups.

- You look a bit nervous, Steph. It's only a photograph.

- Excited! - Are there only two women teachers at Waterloo Road?

- No, no, no, there's plenty more, but you've got the best two here. - OK.

Right, everyone, when I call you, I want you to grab a prop,

slip behind them screens and take your clothes off.

- You what?

- You haven't told them, have you? - What I thought was that...

we obviously need to sell as many calendars as possible,

so, I thought, let's spice things up a bit, you know, show a bit of flesh.

- You are joking? - Who's seen Calendar Girls? - I'm off. - Grantly,

I will pay for every drink for a week.

- You want us to take our clothes off?

- It'll be done tastefully, Jo.

We'll be hidden behind these props.

Look, just...

bear with me for two seconds.

I mean, let's be honest, who's going to want to buy a calendar with Grantly Budgen

as Mr September, with his leather elbow patches and cardigans?

- She has got a point, mate.

- Finally, she has gone completely off her chump.

- But this can't be for real, Steph. I mean, we're teachers.

- Here she is, Miss January.

- Brilliant!

- You see? Can't see me bits.

- # The girl ain't backward in coming forward

# She's got this crazy line... #

Ruby, that behaviour with Amy, it was absolutely unacceptable.

- I know. I'm sorry. I've had a lot on my plate.

- Do you want to explain these?

- They're a prescription.

- They're helping you cope, are they?

Right, I'm going to be straight with you.

After what's happened today with Amy and with the wedding cake...

I think we've got a problem, haven't we?

I obviously can't afford to keep you in the classroom at the moment.

- Are you suspending me?

That is dismissal through the back door.

- Oh, Ruby!

Paranoia, irrational behaviour,

violent mood swings.

I'd say they were all signs of an addiction, wouldn't you?

- They're signs of working in this place!

I'm not addicted, Rachel.

That is defamation of character.

- If you can't admit it, I can't help you. But you are not fit

to teach at the moment. I'm sorry.

What would have happened if I hadn't have come in? What?

I mean, how long would you have kept a pupil locked up?

- Do you know, I'm going to contest this. - Fine.

But I need you off the premises. I'm suspending you.

- And I'm phoning my union.

- I can still see your underpants.

Left a bit.

Perfect. Hold that.

Left a bit. Marvellous.

Brilliant, Tom. Hold it there.

Perfect.

Brilliant.

Brilliant.

You let us down. - I know.

I'm sorry, I'll be better tomorrow.

- You can't even keep your head down for one day, Amy.

I convinced your parents to give you a chance, but after today, I'm sorry, I'm going to have to agree with them.

Maybe a move to another school's for the best. - No, please...

- Amy, it just isn't practical.

We can't dedicate teachers for constant supervision,

and that seems to be the only way to keep you two apart.

Come on, get your stuff together.

I'm going to send you home in a taxi.

Amy, please hurry up.

Brilliant, Steph. Hold that... - Grantly?

I've got a union issue with...

You're naked. - Well, not completely.

- You're taking photographs of yourselves naked?

- Yeah, well, come and join in. It's a good laugh.

- Is this what working with Mason's reduced you to, just prostituting yourselves?

She questions my professionalism

and she sanctions this!

- Oh, for goodness sake, Ruby, it's all for a good cause.

- Oh, come off it, Steph!

It's just an orgy for a load of hormone-charged anarchic delinquents! - What the hell is this?

- It's a smutty calendar. What are you going to do about that, Miss Mason?

- Mrs Fry, I advise you very strongly to leave the premises. The rest of

you, get to my office now!

With your clothes on, please!

I don't know who you are, but you do not have the right to take these kind of photographs here,

so that camera remains. Thank you.

- She knows what's going on in MY classroom.

She lets everybody else do what

they like! Are you going to let them get away with this?

Do you know, you haven't a clue what is going on under your nose!

- I'm warning you, Ruby, go home!

- You are so flamin' smug! You swan around here with your fiance...

Hey, he's not so perfect. Did he tell you about all the times he covered for me?

- We will not discuss this here, Ruby.

- It was me who caused the fire in the kitchen, and he covered all of that up, even if it meant lying to you.

And he's known about the pills, Rachel, for weeks.

- If you don't leave, I'll call the police. - Oh, here he is.

He can tell you himself. Adam, tell her about the kiss and how

you promised not to say anything

because you knew she'd react like this.

Go on, tell her.

Tell her!

- He's not saying anything, because he feels sorry for you.

Everyone feels sorry for you. You're a mess, Ruby!

- Rachel, I'm so sorry.

- Get out.

- What are you going to do? - I'm going to fire her.

You didn't think to tell me then?

- Excuse me?

- I'm starting to wonder if there wasn't more to that kiss than you've been saying.

- Are you serious? Come on, you saw the state she was in. I'm not responsible for that.

- You lied to me, Adam. You lied about the fire, about the pills.

If I'd known, I might have been able to help her.

- Maybe you should ask why she didn't come to you in the first place. - What's that supposed to mean?

- Why didn't she admit she couldn't meet your exacting demands?

- That's unfair. - Really?

Look at the way you're reacting now.

I mean, she was drowning and she couldn't come to you.

Maybe I did get it wrong, but I won't be blamed for the fact

that she didn't tell you. - Thank you.

Thanks for your support(!) - Rachel...

- No, no, no, don't worry about it.

And don't make me say something I don't want to.

You've pulled some stunts in your time, Steph, but this one...

- Rachel, it was all done very tastefully.

- You couldn't see anything.

- Oh, OK, well, I'll explain that to the parents

when they ask why I had a school full of naked teachers, shall I?

What happened?

What happened, did you all have collective failure of common flamin' sense?

- Well,

it was for a good cause, Rachel.

- I would never have got involved in something like this had I not known

that it was for the benefit of our less fortunate children.

- Get out.

Get out!

- I'm not in the mood for round two, Amy.

- Why are you packing up all your stuff, Miss? - Well,

it turns out you can't lock kids up these days.

I'm really sorry.

- No, Miss, it's OK...

I was being a brat. - It's not OK.

It's not OK, Amy. - Miss Mason says I'll be moving schools,

since this lot can't cope with me. - Oh...

That might be a good opportunity for you. It's a fresh start.

You'd make friends.

- It's not going to split me and Finn up, though.

Nothing seems right without him.

I'm going to do whatever it takes to keep us together.

- Ruby?

Rubes, are you going to tell me what all this is about?

- Oh, Steph,

I've just thrown it all away. There's my career and my marriage and everything.

I just want John back.

- Then tell him. You've got a problem. Admit it.

How many people are going to have to tell you?

- I just...

don't think there's any way back from this. - Come here.

- RUBY SOBS

- Get some help.

Rachel'll support you.

If you knew what I had been through in this place, believe me, there is always a way back.

Phone him.

- Hiya. - Hiya! Meals On Wheels.

Aw, come on.

I know I'm not Hugh Fearnley-Whatshisface, but dinner won't be that bad.

- It's not you. It's Dex.

- What's up? - Oh, it's just Dex.

He's been grizzly all day.

- Right. Well, you put your feet up and give him to me.

Come on. - Yeah? - Yeah.

Here we go. - Have you got him? - Yep.

Hello!

- Oh, God. Had the midwife round all day,

and then my mum came round, and she...

How was your day?

- Yeah, it was fine. - I am listening.

I'm just going to rest my eyes.

KNOCK ON DOOR

- Rachel... No, I'm sorry, I know...

I know that I've really made a hash of things, but I really need to talk to you. - Ruby, please,

I can't talk to you.

Please go. - It's not the school that can't cope with Amy. It's me. And...

I just don't think that my failings should affect her future.

I've not been coping with anything, not for a long time.

- We need to discuss this formally.

- Those tablets that you found, I got them online.

And my doctor's been trying to wean me off for ages, but I just...

I didn't feel ready, and I've been using them to cope with everything.

- So why didn't you come and see me, Ruby?

I would have given you some support.

- I couldn't even admit it to my husband...

I wasn't going to tell you, was I?

I just really love this job, Rachel.

And I know that I moan about it all the time, but, erm,

I really love it here, and I'm...

I'm not ready to leave.

- Well, in the light of this conversation, I...

..I won't mention that slap in my report.

But you really need to deal with this, Ruby, you really do.

I can't help unless you...

you can prove that you're doing everything you can to help yourself.

If you do that, maybe the governors will view your case more sympathetically.

- Thank you.

Thanks so much. - You've got a long way to go yet.

- Yeah.

- Good luck.

- Thank you.

- Oh, look, it's Bolton and his invisible queue. Eh, have you found out who's got top prize yet? - Yeah.

Me and Michaela are going, actually.

- Yeah, right, like she'd give you a second chance.

- She seemed kinda chuffed. Might be getting back together.

- Nice one, if you can't find a new girlfriend, recycle the old one.

Well done.

- Amy?

One last chance.

- Miss... - No, no, no.

There's a week till the end of term.

Now, during that week, you are not to see Finn at all, right?

And if you can't stick to it, I'll have to tell your parents

about what happened today,

and that means that you won't be back next term.

Have you got that?

So it is your last chance.

- No, I can do it, Miss, I promise. I won't see him in school until you say.

- Did you mean what you said?

You're going to get help? - Yeah.

- Never had a better reason to leave work early. I'm so proud of you.

- Oh...

- You know, what you did for Ruby,

being there trying to help her,

that's who you are, and I don't want to change that.

- And I was unfair earlier. I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to upset you, I just wanted to protect you.

- You lied, I made you feel like you had to.

We're both as bad as each other, aren't we?

I think we're a match made in heaven, actually.

Adam, I want to be the first person you come to when you've got a problem, not the last. - It's a deal.

- Thank you for my cake.

Hey, come on, let me get that. - Will you stop being nice to me?

I don't deserve it. - I'm here for you, Rube.

I always have been, yeah?

There is a but, and it's a big one.

- I'm going to get help, and I'm going to get proper help.

- No pretence. We've got to be

straight with each other, yeah? - Yeah. - We've got to support each other.

- Thanks, John. - Come on, let's get you home.

- Sorry. it was starting to burn. Yours is in the microwave. - Don't worry about it.

So much for a romantic evening, eh?

- Well, we can do it again. - What, when he's eighteen and gone to college?

Oh, Chris, I didn't even see the flowers.

Thank you. They're beautiful. - Oh, it's fine. Right,

let me heat your dinner up, and then I'll stick a film on, yeah?

- I'm fine, honest. I'm absolutely shattered.

Just want me bed, really. - Oh.

- Do you mind?

- Well, you could have called me earlier.

It'd have saved me shopping and coming over, just to be

sent away again.

- I have been looking after a poorly baby all day.

Sorry about that...

- Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry.

I'll get off and leave you to it, yeah?

- Chris, no, I'm being rubbish.

- You're being a mum...

..and you're cracking at it. It really suits you.

- Yeah, utter exhaustion and baby puke really make a girl glow.

I am loving it, though.

It's great. Just getting to know him, and...

spending all that time with him, just the two of us, it's good.

- Well, I'll call you tomorrow.

We need to have that date.

- This isn't right.

- What?

- This. You changing me son's nappies, and we've not even...

you know, you've not even spent the night. - Well, we'll get there.

- Yeah, I don't know if we will.

Not the way we should do, you know, the way we could have done before.

This all seems so back-to-front.

I can't do this.

Not...

Not now.

I care about you so much, and I really want this to work, but...

it's like we're some married couple, you know,

not being able to do anything cos of the kids.

- Only room for one man in your life, yeah?

- I think that you are amazing. - More fool me for wanting to give it a go.

Hello!

- So, when do your parents get back? - Don't worry about it. They're in Birmingham.

They'll be gone all night.

- I hate being apart from you.

- Me too.

It won't happen again.

- We'll get in trouble. - We won't. We'll tell them.

"Let us be together, or we won't come back, ever."

I love you, Amy. - Me too.

- It's an amazing feeling, isn't it?

You're the only person in the world I love.

- Well...what about your parents?

- If I died tomorrow, they'd be back in work in a couple of days.

They don't give a toss about me.

You and me, Ame. Nothing's ever going to come between us again.

Ever. I'll make sure of that.

We're moving to America.

- Why don't we make this even easier for you? Why don't you

forget the whole thing? - What? - It's clearly just a chore for you, distracting you from

your oh-so-precious work. - Adam!

- Right, listen, the prom's on the move.

We're having it in the hall now.

I'll explain why later.

- You've been the best friend I've ever had, and I'm sorry, OK?

Just...goodbye.

- OK, I think that we need to go.

I'm awfully sorry. I don't

actually think he's going to turn up.

- Welcome to the Waterloo Road prom. - CHEERING

That's a gravestone. - And this, in

red ink, is today's date. - Suicide?

- I can't go back there, Amy.

I can't.
