1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:02,000
- We went through the wringer last

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,680
term. This one will be different.
- We could get in professional help.

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,240
- Psychologists or something?

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,560
- Or an exorcist.
- Kim...

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,520
come on, please, forget about him.

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,480
Max Tyler's gone.

7
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,280
You know, we got rid of him.
- Yeah, not before he did a load of
damage though, eh?

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,720
- Let's put last year behind us in
every way, huh?

9
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,040
There was a lot happened that we're
not proud of.

10
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,160
And look at us - we're the perfect
management team.

11
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,000
We're going to take this school into
the future.

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,280
- It's not going to be the too distant
future for me, though, actually.

13
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:40,720
- What?

14
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,040
- I'm going to have to take maternity
leave.

15
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:49,240
- Right.

16
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,200
Is that good news?

17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:54,640
- It's Max's.

18
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,480
- What's Max saying about that?

19
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:00,560
- Nothing.

20
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,840
He doesn't know anything about it and
he's not going to know anything about
it.

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,000
- OK.

22
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,000
- Morning, miss. Morning, sir.

23
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,440
Good day for it.
- And you are?

24
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,880
- Finn Sharkey. I start today.

25
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,000
Lucky old Waterloo Road, eh?

26
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,480
Lucky old me if all the teachers look
like you.

27
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,920
Well, not you, obviously.
- What?
- Um, Finn,

28
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,400
it's very nice to meet you, but just a
word of advice,

29
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,000
Mr Budgen doesn't take too kindly to
smart alecs,

30
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,480
so keep your distance till he's had
his morning brew.

31
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:08,960
- Thanks, Miss.

32
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,040
Sir.

33
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,480
- Another term, another gobby git to
break.

34
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,760
- Why don't you write your memoirs,
Grantly, eh?

35
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,800
Share your wisdom, could make you a
fortune.

36
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:27,960
- All right, girls?

37
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,520
- Debs?

38
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,320
Yeah, erm, look, I've got to ask you
to act up for me this morning,

39
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,000
I've got some stocktaking to do. I'll
be on my mob.

40
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,600
Tell everyone to keep busy.

41
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,520
If they're not serving, they can
always be damp-dusting.

42
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,560
All right. OK. Cheers, bye.

43
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,680
Well, just look at your face, Bianka.

44
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,040
Could you start behaving a little bit
more like a birthday girl?

45
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:56,040
- I've told you, I don't want to
celebrate

46
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,600
MY birthday with YOUR boyfriend.

47
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:05,000
- Look, you'll soon change your mind,
he's taking us out on a fantastic

48
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,000
treat tonight.

49
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,680
- Yuk!
- Bianka!

50
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,960
You two are so selfish, don't you want
me to have a life an' all?

51
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,120
- It's you that made Dad leave. You
only ever care about what you want.

52
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,760
- I'll come and pick you up after
school.
- Don't bother.

53
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,320
- D'you want to go and have a game?

54
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,800
- I'm not that good.
- Eh, go on, mate.

55
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,400
Trust me, you've got sport in your
blood.

56
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:52,920
Go on.

57
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,280
See you later.

58
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,280
- You look like you're new an' all.
- Who are you?

59
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:24,560
- The new boy. Finn.
- Finn?

60
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,240
What kind of a name's that?
- Irish or something.

61
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,320
- So, what brings you to Waterloo
Road?

62
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,040
- I got kicked out of my last school.

63
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,960
Come to think of it, the one before
that and the one before that as well.

64
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,880
- Right. So you're bad news, then?

65
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,880
- Well, I just don't like school.

66
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,920
- Yeah, I nearly got excluded last
year myself.

67
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,440
Won't be going there again.

68
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,280
- Hey, Ames.
- Hey, Siobhan!

69
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:50,720
Good holiday?
- Yeah.

70
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,000
- Is every girl in this school a babe?

71
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:56,080
- Who's that?
- His name's Finn.

72
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:01,760
He got excluded from his last school.

73
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,320
- Oh, great, man. What you doing?

74
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,760
- Oi, who said YOU could join us?

75
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,080
- You looked like you needed some
help, mate.

76
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,800
It's not only him. You couldn't
dribble through an open door. I'll
show you.

77
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,480
D'you want your ball back, boys?

78
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,520
- Oi, what's going on?
- Hey!

79
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,840
- Mr Mead?!
- Oh, my God!

80
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:42,520
- You're looking well-old, sir.

81
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,960
- You want to keep that mouth of yours
shut, Sharkey.

82
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,120
MUMBLING:
- How am I going to eat my breakfast
now?

83
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,200
- Who are you?
- Finn Sharkey.

84
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:50,200
We go back.
- You're new.

85
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,000
I don't recognise your name.

86
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,480
- My parents called and they've sorted
it out.

87
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,520
- No, they didn't.

88
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,360
Ball.

89
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,200
Josh, take him to my office and get
rid of that ball.

90
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,760
- Looks like you're looking at your
new striker, boys.

91
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,520
My dad wants me to be professional.

92
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,800
- So does mine, but that won't happen.

93
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,360
- I got him kicked out the first
school I taught in. He wasn't happy.

94
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,520
- Well, that doesn't surprise me.
- So he set fire to my car.

95
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,200
Except I couldn't prove it.

96
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,520
- What, so, you don't know that it was
definitely him?
- Oh, no. I know.

97
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,320
Look, Rachel, that kid, he's trouble.

98
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,240
If we can avoid taking him, we should.

99
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,600
- Surely he can't be that bad, Chris.

100
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:40,160
- Miss?
- What?
- We just wanted to make sure you were
OK?

101
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,520
- Of course, I'm OK.

102
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,800
- Lauren said she heard you arguing
with your husband last night.
- Don't talk rubbish!

103
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:47,800
- So, you were lying when you said

104
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,320
you heard glasses smashing, Lauren?

105
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,360
- Happy birthday.

106
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,000
- That's the last thing it is.

107
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:56,000
- What's wrong?

108
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,840
- Everything. I'm sorry, Denzil.

109
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:02,240
It's really nice of you to remember.

110
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,080
- Look.

111
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:08,160
It's magic, isn't it?

112
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,320
What's up with her? Is it your mum and
dad?

113
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:14,320
- She wants to see Dad, but Mum won't

114
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:19,560
have it. She says she's not allowed.

115
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,280
- MOBILE BEEPS

116
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,240
- Michael, who've you got next?

117
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,360
- French. Lipsett. Why?

118
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,480
- MOBILE BEEPS

119
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,160
- I don't want the bell to ring.

120
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:08,000
- I'm with you, there.
- At least it's not a home from home
for you, like it is for me now.

121
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,080
- Have you moved house?

122
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,360
- To the estate from hell.

123
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:17,240
It's full of Waterloo Road's finest
and all their charming kin(!)

124
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,000
I just can't stand it.
- Ruby, you want to watch your blood
pressure.

125
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,200
- There's nothing wrong with my blood
pressure, thank you very much.

126
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,360
- How's it going with Josh?

127
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,480
- He's a great lad.

128
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,960
Georgia had a rule book as long as my
arm.

129
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,560
Bit more chilled at mine.

130
00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:40,560
- Must be loving living with you, is
he? "Daddy No-Rules".

131
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:44,240
- I hope so. Well, she's away for a
bit, so I'm determined we're going

132
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,280
to do more things together, spend some
quality time.

133
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,280
We've a lot of lost years to make up
for. Good luck!

134
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,560
- Thanks.

135
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:01,880
- A Life In The Day of a Teacher by
Grantly F Budgen, BA Honours.

136
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:06,640
- You've got to beat it.
- Miss, I could do it right.

137
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,160
- Er, Miss, how do you do it again?

138
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,000
- It's all in the wrist action.
- Ah, bet it is.

139
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,080
LAUGHTER

140
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,120
- Oh, shut up.

141
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,240
Listen to them, everybody. They're
like braying donkeys.

142
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,160
Right, that is it! Let's see how you
do.

143
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,400
- Miss, you don't do your baking at
home any more, do you?
- No.

144
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:36,400
- Yeah, cos Lauren Andrews says you
buy all your cakes from that povver
supermarket?

145
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,360
- And the Yorkshire puddings.
- Apparently, she buys everything from
there.

146
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,120
- Miss, this does 200 rotations in 10
seconds. I'm going to get one.

147
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,480
How much are they?
- £180.

148
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,760
- Maybe not, then.

149
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:55,360
- 'Every day, a new emergency, every
day, the finger-pointing

150
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:00,640
blame, blame, blame.

151
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,840
'A noble profession? Poppycock!

152
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,440
'We're glorified social workers,
expected to solve anything from family
breakdowns

153
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:15,360
'to personal hygiene problems.'

154
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,000
THEY SNIGGER

155
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,760
Oh, right, where were we?

156
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,160
- Sir, what are you doing?

157
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,160
- Something I should have done a very
long time ago, Smilie.

158
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,720
- Sounds like a book, sir.
- Tips on how to lose at the horses?

159
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,240
- Sir, is it about you?

160
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,720
- Shut up, the...

161
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,600
The lot of you.

162
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,000
- Any juicy bits?

163
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:36,000
- Oh, yes, there's plenty of juicy
bits, Smilie,

164
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:41,400
but it is for these ears only.

165
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,720
- Ugh, a Budgen novel!? You don't
think it's about sex, do you?

166
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,280
- Yes, I know. It was increased last
month.

167
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,600
It's £500, it's not 5,000.

168
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:59,440
No, you'll be awarding yourself a
humungous bonus, though, won't you?

169
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,720
Thank you so much for your time.

170
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,240
- Problems?

171
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,720
- It was the bank.

172
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,400
Is there anything you specifically
wanted, Steph?

173
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,800
- I'm just checking you're OK.

174
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,120
God, you seem so uptight.

175
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,360
- I'm not uptight, I'm fine.

176
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,360
- Of course, you are(!)

177
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,880
Silly me.

178
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:47,680
- BELL RINGS

179
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,360
- Hello, Mr Mead. Again.

180
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:55,360
Sir, there's been a bit of a mix-up,
but it turns out that I'm staying.

181
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,760
- Great(!)

182
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,560
- Great to see you looking so pleased
about it, then(!)

183
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:05,760
- OK, class. Meet Mr Sharkey.

184
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,600
- Hi, guys.
- I'm sure it won't take you long to
realise that he's all mouth.

185
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:09,600
Right, I've got to go and deal with
something, but there'll be

186
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:14,720
another teacher along any minute.

187
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,760
I want you to complete a science word
search. Can you hand them out, please,
Sam.

188
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,120
And you,

189
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,960
behave, right?

190
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:30,480
- Come on, class,

191
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,520
put your word searches away, we won't
be doing them cos they're boring crap.

192
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,160
- THEY CHUCKLE

193
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,720
- So, what we're going to be doing
instead is conducting an experiment

194
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,320
to see if glass really does break when
dropped from a height.

195
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,240
So...

196
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,080
first test.

197
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,320
Yup, I think we can say that's proof.

198
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:04,640
But just to make sure, can you
confirm, young man, that that is,
actually, broken glass down there?

199
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,560
- Yes, sir. I can.

200
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:10,200
- Just to be scientific about it.
- Finn!

201
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,280
You are so for it.

202
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:19,680
You're going to get yourself into
trouble.
- What do I care?

203
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,320
Why do you care?
- Siobhan, come and give us a hand to
clean this up.

204
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,960
- Will you come out with me tonight?

205
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,120
- Get lost.

206
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,040
OK. Yeah, I will.

207
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,280
- You can come as well if you want,
Siobhan.

208
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,040
What about you, Joshy boy?

209
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,760
- Yeah.
- I can get us a some vodka from mine,
if you want.
- Yeah, cool.

210
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,400
- Marvellous.

211
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,280
- Dad!

212
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,960
Ms Lipsett?
- Hm-hmm?

213
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:10,960
- I've come to take him to the
dentist. His mum forgot so she called
me

214
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,520
cos she's stuck at work.

215
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,680
- Oh, right. Have you spoken to Ms
Mason?

216
00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:20,280
- Yeah, it's all fine with her. Come
on, son.

217
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,880
- Michael, would you sit down for a
minute, please?

218
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:27,120
I'm sorry, but I'll have to check with
the head before Michael can walk out
of my classroom.

219
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,240
You understand that, don't you?

220
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,480
- Actually, I don't. He's going to
miss his appointment at this rate.

221
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,120
Come on.
- Michael, sit down, please.

222
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,760
It'll only take me a few minutes.

223
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,560
I just need to make sure that
everything's as it should be. Please,
take a seat.

224
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,240
- I'll wait outside.

225
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:56,440
- Jayne. Yeah, is it possible I could
speak to Rachel, please. Thanks.

226
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:10,240
- Don't ask me what anything means
because it's obvious and no copying.

227
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,240
I want all your own work.

228
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:18,760
I will be at the back, erm, textbook
audit.

229
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,120
Begin.

230
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:32,400
Chapter one - Used And Abused, The
Travails Of A Long-Suffering Teacher.

231
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,480
- Jenny?
- Yeah?

232
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,480
- Can you find out for me what class
Bianka Vale's in?

233
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,720
- Yes, of course.
- Thank you.

234
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:42,600
Chris?

235
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,760
- Yeah?

236
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,080
- Apparently, Michael and Bianka
Vale's dad's in the school.
- What?

237
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,680
- He's already tried to take Michael.

238
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,760
- Erm, Mr Budgen.

239
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:57,560
- Mr Budgen. Thank you. Look, why
don't you contact Mrs Vale, see if
she's given him permission?
- OK.

240
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:57,560
- Actually, Chris, you know what,

241
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:02,400
phone security and let Kim know.

242
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,320
- Call Me Sir.

243
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:14,240
What about Trouble At T'Chalkface?

244
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,320
- Oh, sorry, Mr Budgen, I'm Gary,
Bianka's dad. I've come to take her to
the dentist.

245
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,680
Her mum forgot all about it so she
called me. She's stuck at work.

246
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,840
- Fine. Bianka Vale, off you go.

247
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,400
Told you I'd come back for you, didn't
I?

248
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,800
- I thought you'd forgot it was my
birthday.

249
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,640
- Since when has your dad ever not
taken you somewhere special for your
birthday?

250
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,000
Can you confirm they've got an
appointment with you this morning?

251
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,240
Michael and Bianka Vale.

252
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,040
V-A-L-E.

253
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,160
OK, thank you.

254
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,200
Mrs Vale isn't answering her phone

255
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,320
and he was lying about the dentist.

256
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,240
- So you didn't you read the memo?

257
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,560
There's a Prohibited Steps Order
against him.

258
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:29,560
Mr Vale isn't allowed any

259
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,440
unsupervised contact with Bianka

260
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,200
or with her brother, Michael, or
within 100 yards of Waterloo Road,
Grantly.

261
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,920
For God's sake.

262
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,320
- Rachel, Bianka didn't have a
dentist's appointment.

263
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,760
- So, her Dad was lying?
- Yeah.

264
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:52,760
- Chris, do you know that

265
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:57,400
he's just taken her out of Grantly's
classroom? I can't believe this.

266
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,840
- What, just now?
- Yes, just now.

267
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,480
- OK, let's just calm down and have a
think about this.

268
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,480
- He's not allowed to see his kids
without supervision!

269
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,720
That means a judge somewhere felt,
felt he's a threat to them.

270
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:08,720
Just keep trying to get hold of

271
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,800
Mrs Vale, this is our responsibility!

272
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,760
- Are you excited?

273
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,320
- Will I get into trouble with Ms
Mason for this, Dad?

274
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:31,880
- Don't you worry, princess.

275
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,960
The baddies won't stop us this time.

276
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,800
- Ms Mason?!
- Look, I've got all kinds of treats
lined up for you.

277
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,960
This is going to be the best day of
your life.

278
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,240
- Bianka!

279
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,880
- The security guard saw Rachel
pulling out of the gates.

280
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,560
- What? What's she playing at?

281
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,160
- MOBILE RINGS >

282
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,560
Great.

283
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:25,560
I'm calling the police.

284
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,480
- I'm going to try Mrs Vale again.

285
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,440
- There you go, princess. Some treats
for the journey.

286
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,320
- This window doesn't work.

287
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,920
- Come on!

288
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,120
Kim, it's me.

289
00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:08,400
I'm following them, Bianka and her
dad.

290
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,040
Have you told the police yet?

291
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:16,360
Tell them it's a white van, it's L831
UKF.

292
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,360
It's on the Meadow Estate, heading
west out of town. I've got to go.

293
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,040
- The police seem pretty worried.

294
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,720
- So they should be, the guy's just
abducted his daughter.

295
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,800
- Yeah, it's not just "the guy",
though, is it? It's her dad.

296
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,920
- Look, the courts don't just slap
restraining orders on for no reason.

297
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,760
- Courts can be a bit anti-father.

298
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,560
- Yeah, so the fathers say.

299
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:49,560
The same ones that don't pay child
maintenance.
- Is everything

300
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,800
that black and white with you?

301
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,360
Mothers, good. Fathers, bad?

302
00:20:57,360 --> 00:21:01,160
- Hang on, if you're trying to compare
my situation with... Mrs Vale?

303
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,440
Hi, it's Kim Campbell here.

304
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:03,440
Waterloo Road. Look, we're having

305
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:08,480
a bit of an emergency this morning. We
wondered if you could come in.

306
00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:42,200
- Oh, for God's sake, it's dead. I've
lost the entire lot!

307
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:47,040
I can't be doing with these things.
I'm going to get myself a proper
old-fashioned typewriter.

308
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,000
Got your text.

309
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,240
- Check this out, it's brilliant.
- What's it about?

310
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,200
- Teachers in this school.

311
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,800
- BEE GEE, the narrator, that's
Budgen, isn't it?

312
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,760
"They stripped Bee Gee of his
departmental headship

313
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,880
"and put a lazy schoolboy with a third
class degree in his place.

314
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,760
"Such was the educational wisdom of
the time."

315
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,840
We shouldn't be reading this, Philip.
It's private.

316
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,880
"EM AR,

317
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,320
"the lady of the night.

318
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:39,800
"A joke amongst her professional
colleagues, has managed to hold on to
the prestigious office

319
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:47,200
"of head teacher despite a career
involving fumbling about in bed with
men she didn't know."

320
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,720
Why's he saying that?

321
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,960
- Right, well, we'll see what the
other teachers have to say

322
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,120
about Budgen's little novel.

323
00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:57,200
Print.

324
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,560
- Why isn't Michael with us, Dad?

325
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,400
- I wanted him to be, but he couldn't
come with us.

326
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,240
It's a shame, isn't it? But we'll
still have fun.

327
00:23:19,120 --> 00:23:22,080
- You're a mentaloid! You would have
dropped that jar.

328
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,160
- You must drive your mum and dad mad
getting in trouble all the time?

329
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,360
- Well, what can they do?

330
00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:30,040
It's not that they don't nag, I just
don't listen.

331
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,640
- Have you finished translating the
sentences?

332
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:36,920
- No.

333
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,720
- So, what exactly have you been doing
all lesson?

334
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,760
- Well, I've been chatting, having a
laugh...

335
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,280
..flirting with Amy.

336
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,600
- Right, then, you'll do it at home
and the next exercise.

337
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:54,600
- I won't.
- And the one after that,

338
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,120
for your cheek.

339
00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:03,160
- Miss, there's no point giving me
homework cos I just don't do it.

340
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,720
- I want you to leave this classroom
straightaway.

341
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,240
- OK.

342
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,040
Only if Amy comes with me, though.
- Amy's staying where she is.

343
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,520
- Sit down, Finn.
- I don't want him here, Amy.

344
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,200
- You heard her. Come on.

345
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,520
- Right, I'm reporting you both to Ms
Campbell.

346
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,880
- Good for you. Get it off your chest.
I'll help you if you want.
- Get out.

347
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,120
- He said it was the dentist, but I
didn't have an appointment.

348
00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:39,120
- He said the same thing to Bianka.

349
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:41,720
- I want to know how my daughter was
snatched from this school!

350
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,320
- Absolutely. Do you want to come with
us, please?

351
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:49,640
- Mum, where's Dad taken Bianka?
- Oh, look, he's doing this to wind me
up.

352
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,840
I'm going to kill him, I swear to God,
I am.

353
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,160
- Chris.
- Yeah?

354
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:59,360
- The new boy, Finn Sharkey.
- Oh, no.
- Oh, yes. He's a problem pupil.

355
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:02,120
OK, "Upon being asked to proceed
with..."
- Not now, Steph.

356
00:25:02,120 --> 00:25:04,200
- The boy should be out on his ear.

357
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,000
- Yeah, I'm not disagreeing, but we've
got an emergency.
- What emergency?

358
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,040
- Bianka Vale's dad's abducted her.

359
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,760
But I'll see to him later.

360
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,840
Trust me, I'll look forward to it.

361
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,800
- White van heading west in direction
of Liverpool.

362
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,400
Check all A and B roads.

363
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,360
- When you find him, chuck him in a
cell and throw away the key.

364
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:26,160
- Mrs Vale, we need you to think where
he might have taken Bianka.

365
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,480
- I don't know how his rotten mind
works.

366
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,920
'If I did, I'd never have married him
in the first place.

367
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,200
- 'Why did you get the order against
him, Mrs Vale?

368
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,520
- 'Because he kept going over his time
with the kids.'

369
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:36,520
- Only cos we wanted him to.
- Yeah, never mind turning up at the
house

370
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:41,800
every weekend, demanding to see 'em

371
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,560
when he knows it's every second
weekend that he gets them.

372
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,400
- At least he takes us places.

373
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,840
- He just point blank refuses to do
what the court says that he should.

374
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,080
- I'd rather see Dad than your new
boyfriend.

375
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,920
- This has got absolutely nothing to
do with Frank, Michael.

376
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,840
This is to do with your dad being a
selfish bully.

377
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,960
He's just trying to make my life a
misery.

378
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:25,440
- This is where I've been living for
the last month.
- Really? Why?

379
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,000
- Gives me time to think, away from
prying eyes.

380
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,680
- But you don't live here full-time?

381
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,960
- Look, don't you bother about me.
This is your birthday and we're here
to celebrate.

382
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,040
- Dad, on our own?

383
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,840
- Mikey was supposed to be here too.

384
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,840
I got it all decked out nice for both
of you. Come on, let's take a look.

385
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,080
Sam, Bianka's been kidnapped by her
dad.
- What?

386
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,440
- That's what they're all saying.
- Well, he's banned, isn't he?

387
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,000
- Sam, what will happen to Bianka?

388
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,920
- It's all right, Denzil. Go get
yourself a sausage roll.

389
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,480
- Are you all right, Den?

390
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,040
What's up with him?
- Bianka's dad's taken her.

391
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,600
- There you go.
- It's lovely, Dad.

392
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,840
- Check this fridge out over here.

393
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:59,080
Any one you like. And then, get
yourself a big slice of that birthday
cake.

394
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,920
- Who's that?
- You stay there.

395
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,200
- Hello.
- May I help you?

396
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,320
- Mr Vale.
- Ms Mason?!
- Hi, Bianka,

397
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,040
I'm Bianka's head teacher and I just
wanted to check that she's OK.

398
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,120
- Well, now you've checked.

399
00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:28,240
Bianka's fine. Thanks.
- Mr Vale, you shouldn't have taken
her.

400
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:35,200
- Miss, it's my birthday. Dad was just
giving me a surprise.

401
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,280
- OK. But your dad also knows that we
need to tell people where you are.

402
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,520
The police have been informed, Mr
Vale. You're in violation of your
contact agreement.

403
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:42,520
- Please, miss, don't get him in

404
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,600
trouble. We want to see each other.

405
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,600
The police can't keep him away from
us.

406
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,880
- You know a father shouldn't be
banned from seeing his own flesh and
blood.

407
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,040
Isn't that right, Ms Mason?
- I don't make the law, Mr Vale.

408
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,920
- No, you don't make the law.

409
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,800
It wasn't her who got us separated,
was it?

410
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,000
That was your mum.

411
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:01,000
- Look, why don't I call your mum,

412
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,200
tell her where you are.

413
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,720
She might be perfectly happy if she
can supervise.

414
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,080
- Mum'll just spoil things, won't she?

415
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,040
Make Dad angry, like she always does.

416
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,400
- Go and settle down in your bunk,
Bee. Go on, you've got your own TV in
there.

417
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,480
I just want to say cheerio to Ms
Mason.

418
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:30,000
- Oh, my God. Well, he came for
Michael, this morning.
- I know.

419
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,160
- Thank God that I checked.

420
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,760
- Seems Bianka wasn't so lucky.

421
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:40,680
- Oh, come on, Tom. 650 kids in this
school. We can't be expected to
remember every domestic barney.

422
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,560
- Here, here.

423
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,320
Sounds like more than a domestic.

424
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,080
What's going on in this bloke's mind?

425
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,760
- You wouldn't believe this.

426
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,560
Some thieving toerag's gone and stolen
my best food mixer.

427
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,480
Hello? Thief in the school.

428
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,440
- A child's been abducted, Ruby.

429
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,320
Bianka Vale,

430
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,760
by her own father.

431
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,480
- Oh.

432
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,160
- This isn't helping anyone, Mr Vale.

433
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:19,000
Gary. It's time to stop.

434
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,800
- Have you got a husband?
- No.

435
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,440
- I didn't think so.

436
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,760
All that yakking you do.

437
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:29,760
- I do understand

438
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,840
how frustrating this is for you.

439
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,920
But you must realise it's not the way
to do things.

440
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,520
- I know what's best for my family.
She's my daughter.

441
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,600
I'll do what I want with her.
- But you can't keep dragging it out.

442
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,320
The police are looking for us.

443
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,400
The best thing we can do now is take
her back to school.

444
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,200
- Back to her mum, you mean? I don't
think so.

445
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,760
Bianka's seen the last of her.

446
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,440
- What do you mean?

447
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,640
- She'll live the rest of her life
regretting the day she ever turned her
back on me.

448
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,600
She'll learn that she can't just
replace me.

449
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:06,320
Now, why don't you get back in your
car and drive off.

450
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,680
- Because I am not leaving without
her, Mr Vale.

451
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,360
- Dad?

452
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,200
- Go back inside, have more cake. It's
your favourite.

453
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,240
Ms Mason's just leaving.
- Stay, Bianka.

454
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,200
- That cake is a birthday treat. Now,
you've ruined it.

455
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:22,280
You've ruined my daughter's special
day.
- She hasn't, Dad.

456
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,320
Come on, let's go back inside. We can
have a party, still.

457
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,720
Leave, Ms Mason.

458
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,480
Miss, you're getting him angry.

459
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:34,880
- You know what, if you're so intent
on having a birthday party, why don't
you invite me? Hmm?

460
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,520
- We'll be fine. I think you should
go.

461
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,400
- I fancy a cup of tea and a piece of
cake.

462
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,240
I don't think it's going to be a
problem. Show me what you've got. Come
on.

463
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,680
- We're checking with his family and
friends.
- Friends?!

464
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,960
He doesn't have any friends. All he's
got is his precious maggots.

465
00:31:59,960 --> 00:32:01,640
Ugh, he's a maggot himself.

466
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:06,760
- He goes fishing?
- Yeah, that's all he does since his
plumbing business went down the pan.

467
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,120
- Whereabouts does he go fishing?

468
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,600
- In the sea? By a river?

469
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:12,600
I don't know.
- A lake. We go

470
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,880
together. He took me a few weeks ago.

471
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,440
- Yeah?

472
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,480
Can you remember where? What lake?

473
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,760
- No, I don't think so.

474
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,880
- Can I have another little bit,
Bianka?
- If you want.

475
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:29,880
- As your dad says, it's delicious.

476
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,960
- Here, let me.

477
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:40,200
Then maybe, after, you can leave us in
peace.

478
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,760
- Right.

479
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,760
Bianka, why don't you show me what
presents you got.

480
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,400
Let's have a look.

481
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,680
- Haven't you got a school to run or
something?

482
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:50,680
- Miss, I think you should go now,
I'll come into school tomorrow

483
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:56,040
and I'll work extra, extra hard.

484
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,240
- Yeah, you heard her.

485
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,640
Look, Ms Mason,

486
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,520
I know that I flouted the rules a
little bit, but just give us today

487
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:13,840
and tomorrow, I'll drive her back into
school and I'll sort it all out with
her mum, OK?

488
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,440
He's got a caravan he uses to make
tea. He said it was his hideaway.

489
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,720
- Hideaway? From what?

490
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,920
- Don't know. My mum?

491
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:27,320
He was saying a lot of bad things
about her, especially last time.

492
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,560
I didn't like it, but he wouldn't
stop.

493
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,520
- What was different last time?

494
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,560
Did he say anything that seemed odd?

495
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:41,840
- Just the normal stuff about Mum,
that she needed to lose something,
like he had.

496
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,520
He said it a lot.

497
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:44,520
- I do understand how you two want to
spend the day together, it being

498
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:50,040
your birthday and everything.

499
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:50,040
Why don't I stay for another hour,
then I drive her back,

500
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,160
as a compromise?

501
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,880
- No.

502
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,760
She's staying with me.

503
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,880
- Dad, I don't want mum having a go at
me. We're going out tonight.

504
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,560
- I bet he's coming along as well,
isn't he?

505
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,000
No, you're staying here

506
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,000
and your mum won't say a word about
it.

507
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,560
- Gary, you mustn't drag your kids
into the troubles you have with your
wife.

508
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,240
It's not fair on them.

509
00:34:15,240 --> 00:34:18,080
- Don't worry, it's Joely who's going
to suffer.

510
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,520
- Dad, what are you talking about?

511
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:25,680
- Nothing for you to worry about,
princess, nothing at all.

512
00:34:27,720 --> 00:34:30,440
- So, are you going out with anyone at
the moment, then?

513
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,920
- Not really. You?
- What are you two chatting about?

514
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,080
Get on with your work.

515
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,880
- I don't find it interesting, sir.
- Give me one good reason

516
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,240
why I shouldn't send you to the
cooler?

517
00:34:41,240 --> 00:34:43,760
- I don't know where it is. You'd have
to take me,

518
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,600
you've got a class to teach. Maybe you
should go, sir, for being so boring?

519
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,280
- Finn, shut it. It's my dad.

520
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,120
- Him?! Bad luck, mate.

521
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,440
- This is your one and final warning,
sunshine. Have you got that?

522
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:00,720
I said, have you got that?

523
00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:02,520
- He's got it, all right?

524
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,320
- Loud and clear, sir.

525
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,240
- Get on with your work.

526
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,280
- You all right there, Ruby?
- Ooh, yeah.

527
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,120
Weighs a ton.

528
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,640
- What are you doing, judging a
pie-baking contest?
- No.

529
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:56,480
Er, I've got marking for the weekend,
bit of a backlog

530
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:01,880
cos I can't concentrate at home.

531
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:06,560
Not with those mad chavs and that
woman next door, did I tell you about
her in her boudoir?

532
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,440
"Oh! Oh!" Anyway, listen, don't tell
Rachel.

533
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:24,120
- We should show you Waterloo Road

534
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:28,280
properly, sometime, Gary.

535
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,600
Show you all the great work that
Bianka's done last term.

536
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,640
- My children mean everything to me.

537
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,720
- Well, they're doing so well at
school. They're an absolute pleasure
to teach.

538
00:36:41,720 --> 00:36:45,200
- That's because they've been taught
manners, by me.

539
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:49,800
- I can just see you at your
graduation ceremony.

540
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:49,800
- You think she'll get to university?

541
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,880
- Without a doubt. Absolutely.

542
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:53,880
She's got a great future ahead

543
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,880
of her in whatever she decides to do.

544
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,600
- I've always told them they can
achieve anything if they put their
minds to it.

545
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,400
- Mmm, you've been as good your word.

546
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:07,800
Gary...

547
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,360
..why don't we take her back?

548
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,600
Why don't we? And I'm sure we can work
something out for you?

549
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,920
- Maybe we should, Dad?

550
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,440
- And spoil this special party?!

551
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,080
- I didn't mean that.

552
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:24,080
- You know, why would you bring her
here for a special party

553
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:29,560
in the middle of nowhere,

554
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:29,560
no family or friends? Why are you

555
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:34,520
doing that, Gary?
- We've had enough from you. GET OUT!
- Stop it!

556
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,160
- Just think about it.
- Just get out!

557
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,040
- I want to go home.
- Back inside, princess.

558
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:50,920
Go on.

559
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,240
- D'you fancy coming round to mine
tonight, mate, play a bit of pool?

560
00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:00,280
- Don't know, mate.
- Why?

561
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,080
If you're worried about him, don't be.
He likes me.

562
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,160
What about you two, girls?

563
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,760
- Amy's coming to mine for her tea
tonight.

564
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,520
- Easy. You say you're going to hers.
You do the same.

565
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,400
They won't have vodka and pool at
Siobhan's now, will they?

566
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,720
- OK, we're at the Helmsley Forest.

567
00:38:21,720 --> 00:38:25,160
Yeah, we're down by the lake, and it's
like a white caravan there.

568
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,120
Get the police down here now, Kim, cos
I've got to go back.

569
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:33,560
- Are you mad?
- Kim, I've got to go back. I'm
terrified that girl's in danger.

570
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,040
- No, Rachel, just wait until the
police get there.

571
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,720
Erm, she's at the caravan.

572
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:44,960
Helmsley Forest. By the lake.

573
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,040
- By the lake.
- She thinks he might turn violent.

574
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,440
- Oh, don't be daft.

575
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,960
He's never touched a hair on her head.
I'm sorry, I don't believe this.

576
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:52,960
- She's going to go back in there,
she's going to make sure that

577
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:57,400
Bianka's all right.
- I want to come.

578
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,080
- We wouldn't advise that, Mrs Vale.

579
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,680
- Either you take me with you, or I
will drive myself. Come on, you. Get
your stuff.

580
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,040
- We'll keep you posted.

581
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,920
- This is the worst birthday I've ever
had.

582
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,800
- Shush, love. Just calm down, will
you?

583
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:29,240
- Bianka, get out!
- Eh!
- Run!

584
00:39:29,240 --> 00:39:30,840
- DAD!

585
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,520
- What is he doing?

586
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,320
Why would he hurt his own child?

587
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,520
- Because he hates his wife.

588
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:45,600
Bullies, control freaks, look
completely normal on the outside,
but...

589
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,000
Remind you of anyone?

590
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:51,520
I am not going to let him within

591
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,440
a million miles of my baby,

592
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:55,560
I tell you.

593
00:39:55,560 --> 00:40:00,600
- Eh, come on, Kim. Look, we've got to
keep it together, yeah?

594
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:03,920
- Yeah.

595
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,280
D'you know what? I am going to kill
Grantly Budgen.

596
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:13,480
- What's this?

Street, has there been a teacher

600
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,560
'whom one would dearly wish to turn on
a garden hose at full power.'

601
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:31,160
- Who's sent you that?
- I don't know. But we've all got one.
- Have we?

602
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:32,840
- Is that supposed to be funny?

603
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,440
- Oh, spare yourself, dear lady.

604
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,360
There is clearly a poison pen on the
premises.

605
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:45,120
Please, erase all memory of it and
allow me to pursue the perp.

606
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:49,680
- Ever the gentleman, eh, Grantly? Do
you know something?

607
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:49,680
You are a sad, pathetic little man,
clearly in need of psychiatric help.

608
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:55,520
- Grantly.

609
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:59,400
- Do you know that Rachel's putting
her life in danger right now

610
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,280
because of your laziness and
incompetence?
- What, pardon?

611
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:06,040
- That man that you let skip off with
Bianka this morning from your
classroom?

612
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,200
Now he's threatening to hurt his
daughter.

613
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,720
If anything happens to either of them,
Grantly...

614
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:13,280
- OK, Kim. Come on, you've made your
point.

615
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,240
Kim, I'm sorry.
- You're sorry?!

616
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,640
No, no, Grantly, sorry is not good
enough.

617
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,400
Because it's going to happen again

618
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:29,440
because you don't care, and you so
have to care in this job.

619
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:44,000
- Look, Kim, if you want to be angry
at someone, try Rachel.

620
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,720
Sometimes, you call the police and let
them get on with it.

621
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:49,840
- What, you honestly expect her to
just walk away from a child?

622
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,240
- She's got responsibilities to the
entire school. Not just one kid.

623
00:41:53,240 --> 00:41:55,520
PHONE RINGS

624
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:58,800
Hello.

625
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,480
Yeah.

626
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,400
They've located the caravan.

627
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,960
- We have to go careful here.

628
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:10,720
- HISS OF GAS ESCAPING

629
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:13,240
I'm sorry, princess.

630
00:42:13,240 --> 00:42:15,840
SHE COUGHS

631
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,160
- Gary Vale! Are you in there?

632
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:25,560
- Mr Vale?
- Bianka!

633
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:29,520
- Mum!
- Bianka!
- Mum! Mum!

634
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,600
- This is the police.
- Bianka!

635
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,040
- Mrs Vale! Mrs Vale, come back!

636
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:42,120
- Gary! I am going to flaming kill
you!

637
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,680
- Make him stop, please. Make him
stop.

638
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,360
- Gary! Get off! Gary!
- Mr Vale!

639
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:51,360
Can you come out and talk to us!

640
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,120
- Go away!

641
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:58,760
- Stop it, you're scaring me.
- We're going nowhere and you're going
to jail.

642
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:03,680
- I asked you to leave. Now, go away,
I told you, I told you a dozen times!

643
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,480
- Dad!

644
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,800
- Mr Vale!
- But did you listen? NO!
- Mr Vale!

645
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,560
Can you come out and talk to us!

646
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,240
- Tell them what you're doing, please.

647
00:43:17,240 --> 00:43:21,160
- Come on, Gary, just let her go,
she's your daughter. Please!

648
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:22,680
- This is all down to you.

649
00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:30,960
- DAD!

650
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,200
- Bianka!

651
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:02,200
Bianka! BIANKA!

652
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:06,360
Are you all right? Are you OK?

653
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,760
Are you all right? Are you OK?

654
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,200
- It's over.

655
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,000
Rachel's OK.

656
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:35,960
- Thank God.

657
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:40,120
What about Bianka?
- Fine.

658
00:45:41,720 --> 00:45:45,560
- I'll go and let everyone know.
- Her dad's dead.

659
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,440
He tried to kill them all.

660
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,760
- THEY SPEAK INAUDIBLY

661
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:27,480
- Thanks.

662
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,840
Thank you.

663
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:43,080
Come here. It's all right.

664
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,240
- Excuse us, guys. Thanks.

665
00:46:47,240 --> 00:46:50,480
- They're going to keep her in
hospital overnight for shock.

666
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:54,720
- Right. OK guys. Everyone home now.
Safe and sound, yeah? Come on.

667
00:46:54,720 --> 00:46:57,520
- Kim, it was so close.

668
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,080
Actually, do you mind if you give
me...
- No, go.

669
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:01,800
- Is that all right?
- Go, go.

670
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,280
Just... Just give her a minute.

671
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,720
- Night-night, girls.
- Bye. See you.

672
00:48:23,240 --> 00:48:25,240
- I just got to go now anyway...

673
00:48:25,240 --> 00:48:30,400
to get some more marking. God help me.
Night, everyone.

674
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:31,920
- Bonkers.

675
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:40,480
- Oh, no.
- What's the matter?
- My purse has gone.

676
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,160
- Your purse?
- It was there in my bag when I went
to the loo.

677
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,320
I'm telling you, Steph, I'm sure it
was just there in my bag.

678
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,640
- Thanks for the tour.
- Wouldn't want you getting lost.

679
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,680
Who knows? Might end up in trouble.

680
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:59,160
- Good as gold, me, Miss Porter.
- That why they kicked you out of
Forest Hill?

681
00:48:59,160 --> 00:48:59,160
- No. That's because they just
couldn't handle my enthusiasm

682
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:03,640
for bunking off lessons.

683
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:05,280
Couldn't be bothered going in.

684
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,080
Getting expelled was the first time I
met my form tutor.

685
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,560
- Wicked!
- I thought you said you had to move
forms cos your tutor fancied you.

686
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,320
- Without even meeting you?!

687
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:17,160
Wow, impressive(!)
- No, that was a different school,
Ames.

688
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,680
Never last more than a term, anywhere,
me.

689
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:19,680
But, judging by the warm welcome I've
had today, I think it might

690
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:24,720
be time to start settling down.

691
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,920
- Lucky us(!)
- Who are you?

692
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,080
The fun police?!

693
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:37,840
Ruby.
- Ooh.

694
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:41,360
I'm...very busy, Steph.

695
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,720
- You've got Jo's purse, haven't you?

696
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,640
- Oh. Erm. No. I don't know what
you're talking ab...

697
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,200
- Oh, Ruby, I know you nicked it.

698
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:54,880
If I looked in the boot of your car,
there'd be more than marking in your
big bag.

699
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:59,560
Just go back and help Jo "find" her
flaming purse, will you?

700
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,200
After that, you and I are going to go
for a little drink.

701
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,760
Go on.

702
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,520
Ruby.

703
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:29,120
- Hey, you.
- Oh, hello, sir.
- A word.

704
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:34,880
- Just any old word, or...?
- Shift it, you lot.

705
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,320
Ms Haydock says you've been up to your
old tricks.

706
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,080
- Any specific trick? Cos I've got a
few, you see.

707
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,040
- Right, you listen to me.

708
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,080
You take this as your first warning.

709
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:51,720
If I have to give you another one,
I'll make sure you're thrown out of
this school as well,

710
00:50:51,720 --> 00:50:55,800
which means you'll have to abandon
your little fan club over there. Are
we clear?

711
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:01,960
- What did he say?

712
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,760
- Have to behave myself.

713
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:08,000
Fat chance. Any hassle off him, my
dad'll bop him.

714
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:09,680
Come on, then.

715
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:11,480
Let's have ourselves a party.

716
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:13,280
- We told you.

717
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,080
We're not coming.

718
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,120
Amy?

719
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,880
- See you tomorrow, guys.

720
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,920
- Sorry, mate. I promised my dad I'd
go footie.

721
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,520
- Oh, it's OK. I've got a few mates

722
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:30,760
from my old school coming over anyway,
so see you tomorrow.

723
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:54,240
Erm...that's what you're looking for.
- Yeah, that's mine.

724
00:51:54,240 --> 00:51:58,280
- I was just about to hand that into
the office and Steph said.

725
00:51:58,280 --> 00:51:59,960
- Thank you, Ruby. I mean,

726
00:51:59,960 --> 00:52:02,960
I really can't understand what
happened, but thank you.

727
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,960
I'm sorry about your equipment being
stolen today.

728
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,560
- Oh, yeah.

729
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:10,920
- Ruby found it.

730
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,720
- Did she?

731
00:52:13,720 --> 00:52:15,800
Great.

732
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,880
That drink?
- Yeah. Bye, Jo.

733
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,920
- Night, Ruby. Thank you.

734
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,760
- You just don't know how hellish my
life is right now.

735
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:32,160
Even my John, he's gone to pieces
because of all the debt he's put us
in. I can't stand it.

736
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:35,840
You know, my wages, they are spent
even before I've earned them.

737
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:37,720
I don't know how I'm expected to cope.

738
00:52:37,720 --> 00:52:40,200
- Why don't you stop being daft and go
to the doctor?

739
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,120
- Because I don't believe in pills.

740
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,800
- Well, you should, if only for the
sake of the rest of us.

741
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,840
- If anything, it's John that should
be medicated, not me.

742
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:48,920
- He should go as well.

743
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,080
Listen.

744
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,880
After Maxine died, I eventually went
to the doctor's

745
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:55,880
and got some sleeping tablets and,
honestly, it was the best

746
00:52:55,880 --> 00:53:00,440
night's sleep I'd had in months...

747
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,800
helped, I must admit, by a few of
these.

748
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,240
I'm going to get us another one.

749
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:09,640
- Steph? Steph?

750
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:17,280
I really appreciate, you know, you not
telling Rachel.

751
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:23,280
- Well, it's not worth anything, is
it, unless you get yourself sorted?

752
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:30,520
- KNOCKING

753
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:36,760
Right. No matter what you say, you
need a drink.

754
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:39,640
Red wine is required.

755
00:53:41,720 --> 00:53:43,320
- Yeah, you might be right there.

756
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:48,000
- And you also need a lecture about
how important you are to this school.

757
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:52,880
- Chris, please, don't...
- Never take risks like that again,
yeah?

758
00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:00,800
There. I've said it.

759
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:11,480
- How did he get in here?

760
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:18,200
- If you're determined enough, you'll
get in.

761
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,640
We can't wrap the school in barbed
wire.

762
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:20,640
- As of next week,

763
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,960
we've just got to focus our efforts.

764
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:27,560
We've got to put our pupils' emotional
health right at the top of the agenda.

765
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:30,080
Yeah?

766
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:03,240
- 'Finn, it's Mum. I'm going to be
away for the rest of the week, I'm
afraid.

767
00:55:03,240 --> 00:55:04,960
'It can't be helped.

768
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:07,120
'The case is dragging out.

769
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:11,600
'There should be something to eat in
the fridge for you.

770
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:15,360
'I've transferred more cash into the
food account,

771
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,600
'but call Dad if you need any extra.

772
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:20,920
'He's back at the weekend.

773
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,840
'That's all, really. Take care.

774
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:25,440
'Lots of love.

775
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:27,040
'I'll see you soon.

776
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:28,560
'Bye-bye.'

777
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:56,840
What are you doing here?

778
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:56,840
- School trip.

779
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:58,800
- I wrote to cancel the trip.

780
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:00,160
- Teaching's like riding a bike -

781
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,480
once you know how, you never forget.
- Steph. I am in big trouble.

782
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:07,320
I haven't ordered ingredients for
weeks and I haven't marked their
homework.

783
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:10,000
- Write down everything that bugs you
about his place.

784
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:10,000
- Including teachers?

785
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,800
- Especially the teachers.

786
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:17,520
- Miss Campbell's mentoring scheme has
made every teacher a laughing stock.

787
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,360
- From now on, you stay away from that
lad.
- No way.

788
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,560
- He's trouble.
- He's my best mate.

789
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:22,560
- Not any more, he isn't.
- Don't

790
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:25,960
panic them. Let me deal with this.
