- So how can I help?

- You can come with me to your mum's
office.

We need to tell her what's gone on.

- Well, why are you leaving?
- We need

to talk about this when we get back.

Me and you will never happen and not
because I'm scared of your mum. She's

amazing, all she's been through.

- I think that we make a really good
team.
- Yeah.

What are the doctors saying?
- Alzheimer's, he reckons, early
onset.

Love?!

- (What are we going to do if she
won't let go?)

- Between me and you, I'm going to
call you Cheryl.

- So you didn't see a thing, Lauren?

- I told you.
- Cos there's a year-seven kid at the
gates

with his shoes in a tree

and his description of the person that
put them there

sounds very much like you.
- Well, erm, no,

cos...I was in school early this
morning.

I had homework to finish. I've been
here since twenty to eight.

So I think you've had your eyes wiped,
sir.
- Oh, right, I see.

So this...

isn't you?

- Oh, my God, that is like so against
my human rights.

- Lunchtime detention. Out.

- What was it I said at the start of
term? Something about creating

an atmosphere of mutual trust?

- Yeah, but... three break-ins in a
week, Karen.

I'm confident that this could make a
difference.

- Day one in the Big Brother school,
Jess and Jonah are making the rest of
the housemates wanna vom.

How out of order is this?

- Only cos all the teachers will see
your little money-making scams.

- He's right. Who wants teachers
knowing what we're doing every minute
of the day?

- Try asking the ones who get bullied.

- Bullying's not going to stop just
cos of a few cameras.
- Who cares?

It's not going to stop me doing the
things I want to do, just cos people
are watching...
- Ew.

- Even if it is my mum.

- Mate, I don't know how you can
tongue anyone who's going to grow up
to be like Mrs Fisher.

- Shut up, mate.

- When did you two get so loved up?

- So how are you then? How's things in
the new place?

- Yeah, they're good. Mr Mead did a
good thing getting me in there.

I want all the dirt, you and Jonah,
what's happening?
- Nothing...

- That's why you've got a big massive
grin all over your face?
- I just really like him, OK?

- What, it's going to last more than a
week?

- Seriously, Vic,

I've really fallen for him.

- My God!
- I know...

- Ah, she's lovely. She's in the
creche today. They don't normally take
them when they're so tiny.

- Look, she's so cute.

- Do you know, I miss her so much,
even though it's just for a few hours.

< LAUGHTER

- Janeece, why don't you just ask her
for your baby back?

I might not be your teacher any more
but I'm not just going to stand back
and watch you mess up your life.

- Even if I did, which I'm not saying
I'd do, how can I when Ruby's so
happy?

- How can you not when you're so
unhappy?

- I'm not. I gave them the baby, they
looked after me.

- There's nothing written down yet,
it's not legal.

- Morning everyone. I'm going to hand
you straight over to Chris

who's going to talk to you about the
new CCTV system.

- Right, well, I'm sure all of you
have seen the cameras going up this
morning.

It's a real state-of the-art system,
audio as well as visuals, and it's
already generating results.

- How's the new flexitime working out
for you, then, Grantly?

- Now, I know some of you have
concerns, especially about the cost,

but I think the potential impact on
bullying, vandalism and truancy means
it'll be well worth it.

- Yes, but, Chris...

you forgot to mention that the cameras
would be in the classrooms.

- What?
- That's right, there have been a few
changes to the original plan

that I need to discuss with you.

In classrooms?
- Hang on,

not through lessons, though?

- The idea is that it'll be an extra
teaching tool.
- What?

- It's about transparency and honesty.
It's been tried and tested in other

schools with proven benefits.

- So basically we're having a
permanent Ofsted?

- - Hardly, Cesca.
- I've been a teacher for ten years, I
have eyes in the back of my head.

This isn't just about discipline, it's
about

the educational benefits.

- You can spin it any which way you
like. It's clearly there to police
staff.

- I can't believe you'd bring this in
without proper consultation.

- BELL RINGS

Obviously...

there's going to be concerns, but it
is only a trial, so please give it a
go.

- Went well, I thought.

- OK, everyone...

a word of warning before we get
started.

Mrs Fisher and Mr Mead are in the
room, in mind if not in body.

- You what, miss?

Is that on now?

- Oh, my God, are we being filmed?
- Yes. And you might not like it

any more than I do, but if we just
ignore the camera maybe we can show
them how unnecessary it all is.

- Come on, Fisher, save your son.

- Sir, it's making me self-conscious.
I don't want to write anything in case
I look stupid.

- You don't have to write anything for
that.

- Sir...it's bad enough you're spying
on us in our free time,

and now you've taken a record of what
we're doing here as well?
- What's up with you?

You're not exactly going to be
discussing state secrets(!)

- It's like having Mrs Fisher in the
room the whole time.

- Welcome to MY world.

- The cameras are there for
protection.

For everyone.

- Protection from what? Teachers?
Like, staff coming onto pupils?

- I don't think that's a big problem
at this school, Ronan, but...

- Well, are the cameras in the staff
room? Snooping into all your private
conversations?

- They're not in the staff room, no.
- Oh, big surprise!

- Yeah? How is that fair?
- Listen, if you want to see teachers
arguing about biscuit money

then just let me know and I'll bore
you rigid with a blow-by-blow account.
Now, Ronan?

- Dad, are these things here to stay
or what?

- They're saying trial period, but I
doubt some people will be giving up
their new toys.

- You feel like you've done something
wrong.

- Like when you can't go in the
newsagents more than two at a time in
case you rob the sweets.

- You usually do, though.
- That's not the point.

- This is about certain people at the
top feeling very insecure.

- Which we didn't hear from you?
- Right.

Listen, do you have any frees this
morning?
- Yeah, why?

- I'm going to organise a meeting
lunchtime, staff and pupils.
- Cool.
- Could you get

a PowerPoint presentation together for
me? CCTV stats, that sort of thing?

- I suppose. Not going to change
anything, though.

- Inspiring words, son, spoken just
like Martin Luther King.

- What's he on about?

- He means don't lie down and take the
crap.
- So what have you got in mind?

- What?
- Miss, he's left his homework in the
back of my dad's car,

and my dad can't find the keys and he
said it'd be in his jacket which is in
here.

- You be quick.
- Thanks, miss.

You don't know where he left it, do
you?
- Coats are hanging up

on the coat stand.

- Um, is it this one?

- No. That's Mr Clarkson's coat. You
don't know your own father's jacket?

- Sorry, miss.

Sorry, miss!

- His coat isn't even here, are you
sure he said the staff room?

- Yeah.

- What are you gawping at?

- Nothing, miss, it just looked
interesting.
- Bus duty rotas 2005-2006? Get out.

- Martin Luther King did this?
- No.

This is a little surprise for my dad's
meeting.

We get clips of the teachers saying
something embarrassing, edit them
together...

- And we could charge people to watch!
50p a go. We could well rake it in.

- When my dad asks us to run the
presentation this is what we show. See
how they like being spied on.

- Mate, I see enough of teachers being
boring as it is. Do you want a can?

- Yeah, go on. Cheers.

- Hi, can I leave these here?
- Yeah, I'll take them. I don't
suppose

they're for me?

My last boyfriend's idea of romance
was a bacon butty and a footy match.

- Sir, I just got a message to come
and see you.

Yes, Vicki, I've got the results from
your retake.

The real ones this time?

Hi.

- Keep it down, yeah?
- Sorry.

Come on, they're in the staff room.

'Just don't get your hopes up, yeah?

Here we go.

Oh, my God, I got a B! Oh, this is
amazing. Thanks, sir.

You did it all by yourself.

- After what I nearly did to you as
well.
- Yeah, well, you didn't, so...

Well, I just want you to know you can
trust me. I'll never tell anyone about
you and Jess.

You shouldn't get sacked just cos you
slept with her.

- Hey, babe, where are you off to?

- You're a liar, and a cheat.

- What?

Jonah?

Jonah, what's wrong?

Jonah, what did you just call me?

- Oi! Mead!

- Jonah, what's wrong?! What are
you...?
- I know!

- What's got into you, lad?
- Get off me!
- You! Get into my office!

Go and get Marcus.
- Yeah.

- That was brilliant, man!

Yeah, totally worth getting excluded
over.

- Are you all right?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

- What was that about?

- I don't know.

- What, Jonah Kirby just attacked you?

Must have been about something, Chris.
- I've no idea.

# My heart is like a jigsaw puzzle

# Pick it up and fix it for me

# And figure it out, figure it out...
#

Vicki? You told him, didn't you?

No! I said I wouldn't.

Did you?
- Why would I do that?
- Then how did he find out?
- I don't know.

I don't want everyone else finding out
either.

I don't want to lose him over one
night with you.
- OK. OK, let's just...

Let's calm down.
- What if Mum rings the police?

- She won't. Not once she knows why he
did it.

- You can't tell her!
- People will find out.

- I'll speak to Jonah. I'll ask him
not to say anything.
- No way!

- This is all so stupid. I mean, it
happened so long ago.

It's the only way.

- I don't know, Jess...

- He'll keep quiet if I ask him, I
know he will.

- Honestly, every class I've had
today, they've either

played up to CCTV or it's "you can't
say that, miss, it's on camera".

- People need to hear that at the
meeting...
- I'll be there.

- Marcus... Karen needs to see you,
mate.
- Can it wait?

- It's Jonah.
- Yeah?

- Look, I'd better tell you before you
get there. He attacked Chris Mead.

- What?
- Jonah hit Chris?
- Yeah. I don't get it either. He's
normally a good lad.

- Did Chris do anything to him?
- I didn't see how it started.

- Yeah, well, that'll be chance for
him to see if his cameras work.

- Bloody stupid mug.

- Anything the matter today?
- Nothing.

- Just a shadow of your normal
unpleasant self.

- Perhaps I don't want every word I
say being filmed as potential

evidence for the prosecution.

- How's Fleur?

- What Big Sister has to realise is
that by watching us every minute of
every day is not going to make her

feel any less guilty that she didn't
watch her own daughter more closely.

- Grantly!
- Well.

- Go on, tell me.

- Fleur hit me.

With a horse-racing book.

- Oh, Grantly, what are you going to
do?

- What CAN I do?

- Is that the best 50p you've ever
spent, or what?

- Why would you want to watch teachers
in private? It's creepy.
- They're doing the same to us.

- No, they're just trying to make sure
that stuff we need doesn't get stolen

and that people don't go round taking
our dinner money off us.

No-one wants CCTV.

Unless it's you getting beaten up,
followed, robbed.

Or if a terrorist bomb goes off and
you can find out who did it

cos you've got a video.

- God, how do you not get your dinner
money taken off you every single day?

- If I give you two quid, can you not
show my dad saying anything
embarrassing?

Yeah, thanks.

Grantly. Thank you.

Listen, something's gone wrong that
you haven't told me about.

I'm not going to tell anyone. Go on.

- She wandered out and nearly got hit
by a car.

- Was she hurt?

- Did more damage with the book.

- She's been to hospital, right?

- She didn't even know it was me that
she was hitting.

Perhaps if she had she'd have hit
harder, eh?

- You're not taking her to hospital
because you think they're going to
keep her in.

Or they'll put her in a home.
- She is NOT going in a home.

- And what is going to stop her
walking out into traffic next time?

Because you're not there in the day,
Grantly.
- I am there for her.

And I always will be. We're fine,
thank you!
- You need help!

- Jonah...

look...

I don't know what you think happened.

- You jumped in bed with the guy.

You're not denying it, are you?

- It happened before I even knew you,
and it finished ages ago.

I didn't know he was a teacher, Jonah,
and he didn't know I was a pupil.

Please don't tell my mum.

She's got enough going on with the
divorce and stuff. And Chris...

Mr Mead will lose his job and he
doesn't deserve that.

- Do I look like I care?

- Then for me.

- It's all over and done?
- Yeah.
- Have you got any feelings for the
guy?

- No, I promise.

- DOOR OPENS

- In.

What's it about?

- Why would I know?

- Because you're usually involved.

- That is so typical.

You think everything's my fault.

- No, I'm not saying that, Jess.
- You didn't need to, Mum.

- Ruby?
- Ohh!

Breakfast - cold meat feast pizza.

- What?
- You know, I say to them, can

you come up with a meal planner for

Healthy Nutrition Week and I get
breakfast - cold meat feast pizza.

That's from two of them.

- Um...

I was just, er...

I need...

- Lunch, crisps and gravy.

- I want my baby.

- I think somebody has put dog food
down here somewhere but I reckon
that's just a wind-up.

- I want my baby.

- You know, you can come and see her
any time you like, Janeece, you know
that.

- I don't just mean for five minutes.

Look, I've made a mistake, I'm sorry,
I'm really sorry I've messed you
about, I just want Cheryl back.

- Think about what you're doing.

- I've thought! I've done nothing but
since you took her!

I didn't think I was ready but I am, I
knew I was ready

from the second I seen her. I
should've told you then,

I just didn't know how.

- Janeece... I don't blame you for

having a little wobble.
- It's not a...

- But you have made your decision and
it might not seem to you like I've had
her long but I love her

like she's my own. Already. I do.

- I'm in bits. I mean, you and John,
yous have been so nice, but...

that makes it worse, I just can't help
it.

- She's going to have such a happy
life with us.
- And she would with me.

- You always said you couldn't even
look after yourself properly.

- Yeah, but...
- How are

you going to manage?
- I'd find a way.

- I just think that you might have

a little bit of postnatal depression.

Have you seen the doctor?

- I don't need to, I just want Cheryl.

- Oh, Janeece...

Um...

It's too late, cos John's going to the
solicitors today.

- I don't care! We didn't make it
proper legal...
- Is this Tom stirring it?

You know, because you've done a good
thing, Janeece, and it's not just for
you, me and John. It's for Poppy.

You don't let what someone else says
go and spoil that.

Jonah, what are you doing?
- I know!

- I can think of plenty of people who
might be stupid enough to try
something like that.

I didn't imagine for one moment until
now it could be you, Jonah.

I've made it perfectly clear I will
not tolerate violence

of any kind in this school,

certainly not directed towards a
member of my staff.

- I wouldn't have...

- You're in a lot of trouble, and just
because you're a teacher's son or the
boyfriend of my daughter,

don't imagine that's going to help.

This is an exclusion offence and
possibly a police matter.

- Hang on a minute.

How about we hear Jonah's side of the
story?

- Fine. What do you have to say?

Why did you do that?

- Jonah.

- Mr Mead has no idea why you should
do such a thing.

- You know Jonah, you know he wouldn't
do this unless there was a reason.

Tell her what it was.

- You can't exclude me for...
- For what?

- Jonah. I'm trying to defend you
here.

I know there's a reason for this.

Speak up for yourself.

- Mr Mead, can you give us your
version of events, please?

- Come on!

It's in that first speech.

The gentlewoman tells us.

What is Lady Macbeth doing?

- Oh...she's sleepwalking, sir?
- Yes.

Like most of you through this lesson.

Lauren, we hear that she takes paper
from her closet.

Why?

- I dunno, sir.

- Is it to wipe up the coffee, sir?

- LAUGHTER

- Shush!

Coffee? What coffee?

- Oh, I dunno, I thought she spilt

some coffee or something.
- Somebody...

Right, what is she doing while she
sleepwalks?
- Is she looking for her daughter,
sir?

- Daughter? What daughter?
- Didn't you say she had a missing
daughter?

- I don't know what you're you talking
about.

- I must have heard it from somewhere.

- Someone from planet Earth... Why is
she sleepwalking?

- Oh, is she injured?
- Injured?!

- Yeah, like she's been hit on the
head with something?

- Like...cos she got walloped over the
head with a horse-racing book?

- Where did you get that from?

- Sir, we're just doing our best with
the play. I mean, what's wrong with
YOU?

- Do you think I don't know what
you're doing?
- Are you a bit confused, sir?

Think you've got Alzheimer's.

LAUGHTER

- What did you say?

- Sir, you're freaking us out.

- Lady Macbeth...

is doing this...

..because what...

Because...of what?

- I don't think you're dealing with
the cameras very well, sir.

- Guilt.

It's because of guilt.

- All I'm saying is this is a one-off,
it's totally out of character and...

I would rather it was just forgotten.

- There's no way we're going to
pretend that this didn't happen.

- Surely that's up to me...
- No, it's up to me. If I don't get a
full explanation now

I'll call in the police and they can
ask the questions.
- Wait...

- Jonah's not giving me any answers.
- Neither is Mr Mead, and I don't buy
it. I know my son.

- Look, I don't want to see anyone
thrown out of school cos of one
careless moment.

- If a child laid into me, I'd want to
know why

and I'd want him punished for it. So
why don't you?

- OK.

OK, I do know why he did it.

It's not easy to explain.

- We're waiting.

- What it is...

is Jonah...

he must have overheard...

He must have overheard me saying some
things about his dad.

- About me?
- I was annoyed with you,

Marcus, over the grief you gave me
about the CCTV,

So I was talking to another teacher,
and...

well... I guess I was slagging you
off, I'm sorry.

- For goodness' sake, Chris.

- Is this right?

- He was defending you, Marcus. You
can't blame him for that.

I don't want him to see him get in
trouble for it.

- Is this right?

- I, er... I would really like it if
this was just forgotten.

- I don't believe it.

- Well, Jonah's not denying it.

- He's a teacher's child.

You think he's not used to hearing me
being called names?

Just tell us honestly.

Is this what happened?

- We have rules.

We have to control our anger.

We can't just go around attacking
people,

at least teachers.
- You're not still talking exclusion
after hearing that?

- I see no remorse from Jonah.

I want a written letter of apology to
Mr Mead,

and only then will I consider reducing
your punishment to a first strike.

Otherwise I will assume that you no
longer wish to study here.

- And what about Mr Mead?

- We'll discuss that after you and
Jonah have left.

- Come on, son.

- What's got into you lately?

- I know that I've made mistakes, and
I know that this was stupid...

PHONE RINGS

- Is there anything else you're not
telling me, Chris?

- I'm being as honest as I can be.

- Oh, Janeece.

Where is she?

- Well, why is it so complicated to
sort out, John?

I don't understand why we can't just
get Janeece to sign a document to say

we want the baby and she doesn't.

Why is that difficult?

Because the longer this goes...

John, I think it's too late.

You OK?

Did you say anything?
- No.
- Look, Jonah, you're being totally
out of order here.

- Me?
- I know you're narked off with her
but this was ages ago.

- She said it was all over.
- It is!

She told me that she really likes you!
- Seriously?

- Yeah, just this morning. She hasn't
been like that with anyone.

I mean...

with Finn, I thought she was just
doing that to wind up Mr Mead, but
with you it's different.
- What?

- Well, what I'm saying is she really
fancies you.
- She was seeing Finn to make Mead
jealous?

- No, that is not what I'm saying.

- What, I thought you said it was ages
ago.

- It was.
- Oh, sounds like she's still into him
to me. Why else would she make me lie?
- You've got it wrong.

Jonah!

Jess.

- What's going to happen to Jonah?

- He'll be OK.
- OK how?

- Don't worry, I'll...

I'll speak to him and I'll make sure
he does what he needs to do.

- I should never have asked him to
lie.

- He didn't lie.
- All right,

then I should never have asked him not
to tell the truth, whatever!

Either way he hates me now.
- Hey, come on.

It'll be all right.

I promise.

Is Janeece here? Have you seen
Janeece?

- Why, what's wrong?
- Oh, Tom...
- Yes, well, it's good to know who

you can trust.
- Not now, Grantly.

Why are you looking for Janeece?
- Somebody is having a big laugh

at my expense.
- What?

- I told you in confidence.
- What?
- The kids know,

so it's got to be halfway round
Manchester by now!
- I don't know

what he's talking about.

- What other gossip have you been
spreading about?
- Grantly, the baby is missing.

- It's just that the year-elevens know
some private things said in here.
- Behave yourself. Even if they did,

it wouldn't be one of our lot that's
spreading gossip, would it?

She's in here.

You're upset, let me talk to her.

- BABY CRIES

- Come on, Cheryl. I'm sorry. I'm dead
sorry...

I just don't know what you want.
- Janeece?

- This is the ladies!

- Janeece, when I said talk to them
this isn't quite what I meant.

You haven't really thought this
through, have you?

- I just wanted to see her, I knew
they wouldn't let me near her.

- Look, how does Cheryl feel about all
this?

- I don't know what I'm doing. Last
time I picked her up and

she stopped but it's not working.

- Open the door for me, Janeece, eh?

- I don't want to let her go, she's
mine. No-one else's.

- I know.
- It's like every part of me is
telling me I'm a mum now.

- And you will be. Forever.

No-one can take that away.

- I don't want it to.

I don't want it to ever go away.

- Come on out, eh?

- Am I in loads of trouble now?
- No.

And I won't let anyone take her away
from you

if that's not what you want.

- Hi, Janeece.

- I just wanted her back.

- What do you want to do now, Janeece?

- I don't know what I want to do with
her, do I?

- Janeece...

Oh...

Oh, whoa, whoa, Poppy!

It's all right.

- You know there are all sorts of
stories going round.

- I can imagine.

- Some of the kids were making out

that Chris hit Jonah...

- Not how it looked on CCTV.

- Well, why would he do it, though?

- He wouldn't...normally. Glad to see
you've come along to support the
cause.

- Er, yeah, except we're here to
disagree with you.

- My mum's head teacher, I dream of
CCTV. It's, like, top of my Christmas
list.

- If I have kids no way are they
coming to my school.

- You don't think it's fair on them?
- It's not fair on you. They're making
your life a misery!

Right, if you could all make

your way to the front of the seats,
that would be great... Thanks.

- What Chris Mead is saying, it's a
lie, isn't it?

You're messing up your education
because of some misguided loyalty...

- I'm not, Dad. I'm really not.

- Have you done the PowerPoint
presentation?
- Yeah. Ronan got

a few facts and figures together.

Nothing too exciting.
- Thanks, Ronan.

- I know what you've done in the staff
room.
- So what?

- Your kind of spying is even more
devious than the school's.

- I'm making a point.

- There's nothing wrong with the
cameras.

It's just whether they're used or
misused.

Guess which one you're doing.

- Chris, we're needed at this meeting.

- Yeah, right... Um... Do you want me
to take most of the questions or...?

- I think you've shot your mouth off
enough for one day, don't you?

What was it you were saying about
Marcus that Jonah heard?

- Has he written the letter yet?
- Not yet.

- Then I think I'll let you hear it
from him.

- Grantly, what are you doing?

- Ah, re-enacting my movements.

Ah!

Little sods.

Is this what I think it is?

- That's a webcam.

- Tit for tat. Someone has been
filming us in here.

- I'll deal with that later.

- So in my view, cameras in school,
especially in classrooms, create

a culture of suspicion and mistrust.

- I think we have to accept it's a
fact of life, Mr Kirby.

I'd rather talk about how the systems
are going to function.

Maybe we can switch the cameras on and
off ourselves.
- He's ignoring my texts.

- I think I might have made things
worse.
- Who has access? LEA? Anyone on the
internet?

- They can watch one of my algebra

lessons. It'd be the first time
anyone's paid any attention to it.

- You wouldn't be wrong, sir.

- Sorry we're late.
- OK, in a minute we're going to be
opening the floor

to questions for Mrs Fisher

and Mr Mead, but first Jonah and Ronan

would like to show us something.

- Yeah, er...
- I was going to give you a lot of
boring statistics about

CCTV, crime rates and all that,

but our deputy head doesn't understand

why we don't like being spied on.

We wondered how he'd feel if he knew
we was watching his private moments.

- GASPS FROM AUDIENCE

- All his little secrets on show for
everyone to see.

- MRS FISHER:
- What is this?

I think this has gone far enough.
- Yeah, that's right. That's enough,
lads.

I think you've made your point.

You told us you were happy with the
deal.
- Look, I know

you're giving her a good home...

..and you love her, and she's happy.

You know what to do, you've read all
the books.

All I've done since the birth

is watch workout videos.

- You know, if you realise that...

- But I want her for myself.

I was scared that if I kept her that
she'd take over my life,

but she's doing that anyway,

cos I can't stop thinking about her.

I know what you're going to say,

and I know it's not fair, but...

I want to be a mum to my own baby.

- All right, Janeece.

- What?

- I mean, what else can I say?

Is she OK?

- Yeah, she is now.
- Can I hold her a minute?

- I'll give the solicitor a ring as
soon as I get in, put a bit of
pressure on.

See if I can get him to hurry things
up.

Ruby, what is this?

- She's not ours.
- Yes, she is.

She is ours now.
- I wish she was.

I wish she was, but she's not.

- Janeece never wanted this baby.

Poppy deserves someone who wants her
more than anything.
- It's not even Poppy.
- Ruby, stop...

- Haven't you seen the way Janeece
looks at her?

- Think about this. We might not get
another chance like this.

- It isn't about what you need, or
Janeece needs.

It's about what Cheryl needs

and she needs her mum.

You look after her.

Why didn't you show the other clip?
The one of me?

- My sister made me realise I'm better
than that.
- Jonah...

what happened with me and Jess,

it was a mistake. A real mistake.

I didn't think that I was doing
anything wrong.

I felt sick when I realised that she
was a pupil, and not just any pupil
either.

- Funny how you're still so close.

- I've not had anything to do with her
since.

- I've saw you with her earlier!
- What?
- In your classroom.

- Yeah, that's right.

She was in bits cos she thought she'd
messed things up with you.

Don't blow it over this, it's not
worth it.

- Well, I'll have plenty of time to
think it over after being excluded.

- Just write the letter.
- I don't think so. See, I've got a
conscience.

- You don't have to leave.

- I'm not going to say what it's
really about, and obviously you're
not...

- Jonah, just hang on two seconds.

- Look, it's like my dad says about
these cameras.

People should do the right thing
because it's the right thing,

not because they'll get found out.

- Earlier in the staffroom...

..I made a cock-up.

- Is that what passes for an apology
in your world?

- I wouldn't have made that mistake...

I'm just...

finding it difficult to focus at the
moment.

- You can't carry on like this.

It's no good for you, it's no...

..good for Fleur, and...

actually, Grantly, it isn't any good
for any of us.
- I don't have a choice.

- You know, Fleur's condition isn't
the problem here. It's you.

Your love for her is the problem, cos
it's hurting her.

- No.

- And if you really want to do best by
her, you have to let her go.

- Well, I'd best be off. It's against
my better principles to hang around
longer than I have to.

- Grantly... Grantly!

- Do you have a letter for me?

- No, miss.

- As if fighting wasn't enough,

you sneak a camera into the staff room
and in the process humiliate one of my
teachers.

We're not getting anywhere here.

- You can go now, Jonah.

I'll explain. Go on.

Before I start, I don't think that we
should extend the cameras beyond the
trial period.

- Why is that?

- You want a school built on trust.

I didn't understand that.

- Why do I think I'm not going to like
this?

- Cos you're not.

- It's OK, Dad.

I think Mr Mead's explaining why.

- Something to do with Jess, isn't it?

- Yeah.

- Do you remember the first day of
term?

I tried to resign, and you stopped me.

- Yeah.
- Well, you wouldn't have done

if you'd known the reason I wanted to
leave.

- What's this got to do with Jonah?

- The night before...

..I'd been out, in a club

and I met...this girl.

- Chris?

- It was Jess.

- She didn't come home that night.

- No.

She was with me. I didn't know that
she was your daughter. How could I?

- So it would have been all right if
it had been someone else's daughter?

- I thought she was older. I...I can't
tell you how mortified I was when I
found out.
- Not enough to tell me.

- I wanted to tell you as soon as I
knew,

but then all that stuff with Ruth
Kirby going missing, there wasn't a
chance...

And then it just seemed like it was
too late.

And I love this job...
- You selfish idiot.

- Karen...
- You've allowed Jess to walk

around all this term carrying that
with her, protecting you.

She's had all that other stuff to deal
with.

You've lied to me

all this time.

I've nearly excluded a child

whilst you've weaselled out of
responsibility.

Do you know what's really sad, Chris?

You could have been great.

You could have been a really great
teacher.

- I've loved every minute of working
here.
- Get out.

Get out!

- Still here, then.
- Mr Mead did the right thing for once
in his life.

- Well, I don't care what he did.

I care that you called me a liar and a
cheat.

- You could have told me.
- Maybe I didn't tell you

because I was scared you'd do
something totally freaky, like...
hitting a teacher

and then almost outing me in front of
the entire school

just when you'd promised you wouldn't
say anything.
- You should never have made me
promise.

- What was I supposed to do?

Let you blab and then a teacher loses
his job because of me?

- But it's OK for me to get thrown out
of school instead?

- I don't want to lose you over
something that happened before we even
knew each other.

- It's not about that.

It's about you caring more about what
happens to Mr Mead than what happens
to me.

We're over.

- Ah, lovely little Cheryl. Gorgeous
little chubby cheeks.

Oh, boy, you stink.

- She needs changing.

- Oh, yeah, OK. Can I have a little
help, please?

- She's all yours.

- Jess, it's your mum. Can you give me
a call back when you get this?

I think we should meet up and...

- I'm not in the mood for you yelling
at me, OK?

- I'm not going to yell.

I'm sorry you couldn't talk to me
about this.

- It's not just you.

I've been doing stuff too to get to
you. I don't know why.

You don't deserve it.

- You didn't deserve Chris Mead taking
advantage of you.

- That was me, Mum. It was my fault.
- He knew what he was doing.
- I did all the running.

He didn't stand a chance, to be
honest.

- He'd like you to think that.

- He's not done anything wrong, Mum.

I threw myself at him.

And maybe that's because...

you and me are messed up, I don't
know.

But don't screw him over because of
that.

- He should have been straight with
me, Jess.
- I asked him not to say anything.

He kept it quiet for me as much as
anything else.

- He's just being selfish.

- OK.

So...

he gets sacked and I feel rubbish for
it, right?

That's the best that can happen.

The worst is that the whole school
finds out and the governors get
involved,

it ends up in the school newspaper and
everything. I can't deal with

all that stuff, Mum.

- You wouldn't have to. I'll deal with
it.

- He's a good teacher, Mum. Not many
are.
- But he broke the rules.
- You make the rules.

- It's not as easy as that.

- Jonah broke up with me, Mum.

- Oh, sweetheart...

- Jonah's not excluded, I gather.

- No...

although I did see a side to him that
I didn't much like today.

He's not entirely blameless in all of
this,

but he's a very good student.

I don't want to lose him.

- How are you keeping up the front?
- I'm sorry?

- You don't have to keep it together,
you know,

not for me.

I know you saw him as a friend.

It must have...

upset you to fire him.

- I haven't decided what course of
action to take yet.
- Are you serious?

This man slept with a pupil,

not just any pupil.

He lied, flat-out lied, and you still
want him as your second in command?
- If I fire Chris now,

what good's that going to do my
daughter or your son?

- My son's education was at stake
because of him, and you're saying he
could

walk away unpunished?
- As I said, I haven't decided yet.

- OK, I'll make this easy for you.

Sack Chris Mead or I resign.
- Marcus...

You're a brilliant teacher, you make a
huge difference here.

- I've had nothing but respect for
you, the way you cope with this job no
matter what was going on at home.

But this? This is out of order.

This is your personal life dictating
what you do in work.

There's nothing stopping me reporting
this, of course.

- I know you won't do that, Marcus.

- Fine.

Him or me - your call.

- What would you do if you were me?

- I'm not you. I never will be. I've
pretty much proved that.

- Well, let me put it another way.

Should I accept YOUR resignation or
Marcus's?

- Sorry?
- That's the choice.

- There's no choice.

I'm finished in teaching.
- You were fast-tracked into something
that's all about experience.

- I really wanted this to work, you
know?

- At any cost?
- No, it wasn't about me,

my career. I know you probably won't
believe that, but...

I was just trying to do the right
thing by everyone.
- Really?

- If I'd quit back in September,

I'd have been walking out on you just
at the moment when you needed me most.

And if I'd come clean and told
everything, I'd have made life
unbearable for Jess.

So what was I supposed to do?

- Avoided the situation in the first
place.

Right.

Well, I'm not going to stand around
here being silent.

- Just one thing...

Will Marcus get my job?

- I should think so, yeah...

..if you were going.

- Sorry, I'm not with you.
- Don't I

get to be selfish sometimes too?

- I've still got a job?

- If you recognise your inexperience

and learn from it.
- Karen...

- And I don't want my daughter wasting
her energies

feeling guilty about you.

But remember this, Chris.

Your card is marked.

One more mistake and you're out...

..whatever the consequences.
- What about Marcus?

- That's his decision,

not mine.

- Marcus, look, for what it's worth...

- If you touch my girl again, I'll
kill you.

It was really nice,

I can't tell you.

That was the nicest holiday we ever
had, I think, even if we were stuck in
the caravan the whole time.

- Steph.
- Rained for two weeks.

Thunder and lightning the first night,
knocked out the electrics.

No telly.

My dad must have been going bananas
trying to think of things for us to
do.

I don't know who this is.

- It's Grantly, Fleur.

- Well, Grantly, if you don't mind,
I'm trying to have a private
conversation with my mother.

- Ruby called me.

I'm here to help, Grantly.

You need help.

- You're moving to London?

I'm glad I won't be around when you
tell the kids.

- There's one thing you haven't
thought of - sell your house.

- Is there any truth in this rumour
that you've been studying last year's
texts?

- Simple mistake.

- Simple mistake?

- The only way forward is a charge

of professional misconduct.

- Excuse me.
