MUSIC: "On a Mission" by GABRIELLA
CILMI

- This is a wind-up, right?

Single sex classes?
- Who thought this one up?

- It's got Chris Mead's name written
all over it.

He won't be happy till he's turned us
into a private school.

- How am I expected to cope with a
room full of boys?

- Hm, discipline?

- Erm, I would like to see you
convince a room full of testosterone
to bake a Queen's pudding.

- If you ask me, it's the boys we
should feel sorry for.

Being locked away and made to feel
inferior.

They're already trailing behind the
girls. It'll make it worse.

- Don't get me wrong, I do like boys.
But a classroom-full sounds a bit
much.

All that sex talk and juvenile chat.

- They should concentrate on bumping
our salaries,

never mind this nonsense.

- Maybe we should speak to Karen, see
what she can do?

- I don't know why you're so opposed,
Ruby.

Your registration class is all girls.

- Oh, and Year Eleven boys, period one
on Monday.

- Mmm, that'll help you sleep well
Sunday night.

- It's taken a lot of juggling around
but I think it just about works.

- It's a big step but hopefully we'll
see the difference when the results
come out.

- We'll have to be prepared for the
staff kicking off.

Never mind the kids.

- The evidence is overwhelming.

Kids thrive when they're taught
separately.

- Er, no, no, no way, Jose!

- Good morning, Adanna. Welcome to
Waterloo Road.

- What do you think you are doing?

Driving a wedge between boys and
girls?

- When I saw the state of the boys'
exam results, I realised something had
to be done.

Take a look yourself. They're awful.

- Awful or not, separating boys and
girls isn't going to work.

- We have tried everything else,
practical classes, tailored lesson
plans...

- How about hiring good old-fashioned
teachers who know how to inspire?

- Well, if you can find some in
half-an-hour, I'll cancel the
experiment.

- Your "experiment" is going to fail.

- It will if the teachers resist it.

This is your first day here, Adanna, I
expect commitment.

- I am committed, yeah, to teaching...
not educational apartheid.

- Oh, come on, that's a bit emotional,
isn't it?
- Enough debate!

This will work and it starts Monday,
for the sake of our pupils.

- Fine, OK. Have it your way. But
don't come running to me

when it all goes belly up.

- Well, it's nice to know our Head of
Pastoral is the calm, relaxed type.

- Roll on first day back.

Come on, you guys.

- Well, I never thought I'd be wearing
a school uniform again.

- It's a big thing going back after
all this time.

- Yeah, I know, two years of wasted
time.

I just need to get my qualifications.

- Look at your sister,

doesn't she look great?

MOBILE PHONE BEEPS

- Yeah, right!

- Right, then, let's get going.

Come on, come on, come on. >

- Bex? >

Bex?
- Um, yeah? I just think I need to get
a glass of water.

- Are you all right?
- No, I'm not actually, I don't feel
very well.

- No wonder you're freaking out.

You've not been out this front door
the whole of this holiday.

- Do you know, I think I'm just going
to leave it today, if you don't mind?
- Bex!

- I feel like I'm going to be sick.
- It's just nerves, darling.

You'll be fine when you get there.

- No, honestly, Mum.

I'm just going to leave it, I'll come
tomorrow.

- OK, then, tomorrow.

Well, I've got my mobile with me, so
just call if you need anything.

I love you, darling.

Let's go.

Come on.

- It was that text, wasn't it? Who's
it from?

- Boys to Mr Mead, please.
- Girls to Mrs Fisher.

- Tell you what, you should be in

the girls' queue, shouldn't you?

- You know I prefer the boys, Finn.

- Why you doing that nancy boy
routine?

You should've kicked him in the nuts
for saying that.
- Hey, he's my mate, all right?

- Well, why are you taking the mick
out of him, then?

I'm Nate, by the way.

- Tell me they're going to be allowed
to mix during breaks and lunchtimes!

- Course they are. Encouraged, if
anything.

The separate entrances are just a
device to hammer home the new system.

- Do you always need a hammer to get
your point across?
- As opposed to your light touch?

- Try talking to them instead, you
might find they're just human beings,
like you and me.

- Can I just have your attention for a
sec, please?

As you can see we've had a slight
overhaul of how things are going to be
done this term.

It's new for everyone and the reason
that we're doing this is to help you
all with your grades.

- Well, what about what we think?

- If you have any problems, then I'd
like you to take them

to our new Head of Pastoral Care here,
Ms Adanna Lawal.

- LaWAL.

- And I'm sure you'll find each other
equally challenging.

- All right, everyone inside then.

Mrs Fisher, our latest addition.

- Right, well I think we all know what
to expect from Kyle Stack.

The school is about to undergo its
biggest change in its educational
history

and this boy could disrupt the whole
thing, so it's very important that

we all pull together.

Thanks for coming in, Mrs Stack.
- Don't know why you had to drag me in
as well.

- Because we want you to be a part of
Kyle's education.

- For all the good that'll do.

- Well, let's hope it does some good.

This school could be a lifeline for
him.

- You want that for your son, don't
you?

- Right, shall we go in?

- Sorry, dog will have to wait out
here.

- Good holiday?
- Yes, thank you.

- Thought Bex was supposed to be
coming back?
- Well, not today, apparently.

- But I thought you said she was well
up for it.

- Well, maybe she's just not up for
other kids teasing her?

- Well, I thought with your mum being
the head teacher that'd be protection
enough.

- Er, what have I said? That dog is
not coming in here.

- I'm not leaving him outside by
himself.

- What we supposed to do, then? The
dog's his best mate.
- So he's coming with me.

Well, he can't come into the school,
so...

I don't know why you had to bring him
in the first place.
- It's protection, innit?

- God help us.
- I'd like to see you walk our estate
without one.

- Right, well, we can't have the
meeting outside,

so, Adanna, why don't you look after
the dog?

- Erm...I feel I really should be in
that meeting.

- As I said, we all need to pull
together.

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

- Kyle!

- If anything happens to him you're in
trouble.

- Ooh, I'm shaking in my boots, sonny.
Now just...get in there.

- He can hold on to a branch with
those jaws for three hours.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

- All right, boy, I'm not any happier
about this than you are.

Don't think you can threaten me with
that fat, angry mouth.

Come on, then, boy.

Come on then, this way. You can wait
outside while I sort things out.

- Well, from the state of Kyle's
previous records,

it looks like he's spent more time out
of school than in.

- He's got trouble with his nerves.

I tried telling them, but they don't
listen.

- Did you have doctors' notes?
- They don't believe me neither.

Here we go again.

- You don't look to me like you have a
nervous disposition.

- You think I don't know my own son?

- Where's my dog?
- It's all right, he's tied up
outside.

This meeting will last forever,
thought I'd speed it up.

- No-one's accusing you of not knowing
your son, Mrs Stack,

we're just trying to find out why Kyle
has a history of truancy.

What's the point? School's no use for
the job I want.

- And what's that exactly?
- Drug-dealing.

- Nice to see you're encouraging your
son in the right career.

- Don't get at her. If I was any good
at anything, I would've stayed at
t'stupid school.

- See? What am I meant to do?

- Buenos dias, gentlemen.
- Whose

bright idea was this anyway, Miss?

Feels a bit backwards, separating us
from the girls.

- Well, then you should take it up
with the Student Council.

- Like anyone listens to them.

Most of this lot would probably vote
for it, anyway.

Too stupid - they don't know no
better.

- Books open to page 15, please.

- Proper wound up about that, aren't
ya?
- I'm not letting them get away with
this.

- Not like you can anything you can do
about it though, is there?

- Right, good morning, gentlemen. You
two - blue table at the top, thanks.

Nate, can you go into the yellow
section?

Finn, green, please.

Josh, can you join our new boy, Nate
Gurney, in the yellow, thank you very
much.

- I'm not a nancy boy, all right?
- Good, I'm not into them.

- What are you into?

- Depends what's on offer.

Right, can nobody touch anything until
I say so, please?

- Is that cos we're too thick to know
any better?

- Your ovens are already on the
required temperature so don't go
fiddling about with them.

- She thinks we're too thick to read
the numbers on the cookers, boys.

- That's a funny thing to say.
- Might have something to do with
these join-the-dots lessons.

She thinks we're nothing but apes.

- HE HOOTS AND SCREECHES

Just settle down, just sit down.

That's funny. Right, put it down now.

What we need here is a contract.

- I'm not signing nothing without a
lawyer.

- It's not a legal document, Mrs
Stack.

- It's an agreement between us on how
best to deal with Kyle's discipline
and education.

- He's your problem in here.

- Yup.
- I've a bad enough time at home and
you're telling me you can't control
him, either.

- We can't work with Kyle without your
help.
- I've tried everything I can.

How am I supposed to deal with that?

- You mean your son?
- They'll fine me thousands if you
can't keep him in school. We'll have
nothing.

- I'm here, aren't I? Is that not good
enough?

- This could be the last shot at a
decent education Kyle gets.

- You better make this work.

- Doesn't mean I have to like it,
though.

There, you'll get your money.

- Where were you educated yourself,
Mrs Stack?
- Can't remember.

- You didn't like school?
- Couldn't see the point.

- Maybe Kyle's picking up those
signals?
- Right, come on then, Kyle,

let's get you to your first class.

- Thank you, Mrs Stack.

- We should get her in for parenting
classes.

- Adanna...the boy is 15 years of age.

He needs to take responsibility for
his own actions.

- Mum.
- Hello, love?

- Bex isn't been answering her phone.
I think I should go home and see her.
- Oh, she'll be fine.

She's got my mobile, she knows she can
call me any time.

- Mum.

- She'll be OK.

DOG BARKS

- Shut it! What have you been doing to
it?

- I think you should ask yourself that
question.
- I've never seen it

so wound up.

Shut it! Or I'll give you such a kick.

Only way they know who's boss.

- You either boss the dog or take care
of it.

A bit like your son.

- PHONE RINGS

ANSWERPHONE: Hi, you're through to the
Fisher household.

Please leave a message after the tone.

HODGE:
- 'Hi, Bex.

'I see you've not gone to school after
all.

'I might pop round later for a coffee.

'Thought we could catch up. See ya
later.'

- ANSWERPHONE BEEPS

- Kyle! Just watch yourself!!

Right, you've got food tech first. Do
you like cooking?

- Do I look like a girl?

- Do you reckon Gordon Ramsay thinks
that?
- Who?

- So what subjects do you like, then?

- Girls. Fighting.

- You enjoy being a moron, do you?

- Yeah.

- Working quietly. >

Now everything's been measured out so
shouldn't be any mistakes.

- Sorry to interrupt, Mrs Fry. Can I
have a quick word?

I'd like to introduce you to our
latest addition, this is Mr Kyle
Stack.

- What you looking at!?

- Oi! Less of the lip.

Get inside.

I'm not going to lie, Ruby, he's a bit
of a handful, so keep an eye on him.

- Right, like I haven't got enough to
be getting on with.
- If he is any trouble, just let me
know.

- Yeah, what are you going to do,
Chris?

Scrap this ridiculous scheme?

- Girls are more mature than boys.

- Yep. Fine.

But could the boys not benefit from
being around that maturity?

Anyone think of any more reasons why
it may not be such a good idea

to keep boys and girls apart?

Yeah.
- Boys need to learn from girls and we
need to learn from boys.

- Excellent. Exactly. Well done.

- BELL RINGS

- Good discussion, girls.

Think we covered some really good
stuff, there.

- Better than we would have done if
we'd had them daft boys in to ruin it.

- Excuse me.

Get your point across, did you?

- Just encouraging some healthy, open
debate.

Which I haven't seen a lot of since
I've been here.
- Is that right?

- Just go away! Leave me alone!

- Bex?

- Oh, Jess.

- Bex, come on, what you doing?

- Sorry, I thought you were like a
burglar or something.

- What, one with their own keys?

- Well, you could have had a
screw-driver.

- What's going on, Bex?
- Nothing!

So why are you here? What are you
doing back?

- You weren't answering your phone.
- I know, I've lost it.

- You had it this morning.
- I know. It'll be somewhere.

- OK, let's go and find it.

- For God's sake, stop interfering!

- Bex, you changed your mind about
going into school because someone
texts you.

And now you're pretending you've lost
your phone. If it takes all day, I'm
going to find it.

- Oh, I've been a silly cow, I just...

I don't like being in this house on my
own.

I just wish I'd been to school, I am
coming in after all.
- Mum will be well pleased.

- Yeah.

- What you doing?

- Checking the weather.

- < Bex! You made it.

Well done, love.

- Erm, yeah, Jess persuaded me.

- What's she got that I don't have?

- Mum, thing is...erm...

..I'm scared.

- Of course you are, darling, you've
been away a long time.

I'll go and get you registered.

- Mum?

- I'll catch up with you later, OK?

- Come on, we're late.

- Whoa, Miss Fry.

I think this one's cooked.

Argh!

- Just run your hand under the tap.
- Look what he done!

- Mate, I think you need some Parmesan
on that.

- < OK, just...

- Argh!

- < Kyle!

- Ah, look at the baby.

- Right, that is it, just calm it
down.
- Come on.

- < OK, just simmer down, please, we
haven't finished this lesson.

< Right, back to your chairs, please,

I want some help cleaning this up.
- BELL RINGS

- Where do you think you're going?

Put the aprons back on.

Right, excuse me, put those aprons
back on now!

COME HERE! You're all rubbish.

- SHE SCREAMS

- Finn?
- Have you seen what he's done?

- Ah, mate!
- Are you going to snog him an' all?

- See him in his little pinny, you
well suited it.

- Oi, you two. You should be in your
next class by now. Move it.

Well, go on!

- Next time it'll be your face I
smash.

- Not if I beat you to it.
- Can't you see he's a psycho?

- So you didn't get any say in this
segregation scheme, whatsoever?

- Think it'd be happening if I did?

- Since when did Head of Pastoral Care
get the deciding vote?

- I don't, but I do have a say.

- Not been very effective so far, have
you?

- Day one. Watch and enjoy.

Before long, Karen will realise that
this new single sex scheme

of hers is a big mistake.

- You can't control them. I've just
had to stand by

while a roomful of mindless yobs

wreaked destruction on my class room.

- I take it you've just experienced
your first all-boys' class?

- Yeah, and I'm not doing it again.

- I don't think any of you have a
choice. Miss Fisher's dead keen on
this idea.

- Doesn't mean we have to sit back and
do nothing though, does it?
- What do you suggest?

- I suggest you start by standing up
for yourself and speaking to Karen.

And the rest of us should meet for a
drink after work. See where we go from
there.

- My dream woman.

- I'm going to knock him out next time
I see him.

- Leave it. Save us both getting our
heads kicked in.

- You don't need to get involved,

he's not getting away with this.

Ta.
- All right.

Your dog's dead cool.

Rottweiler, right?
- Yeah.

- My uncle had one. Dead vicious.

- Depends how you act with them.

Manic's only vicious when I tell him
to be.

You're not in our year?
- Nah.

This is my sister's locker. My year
don't get 'em.
- Does she mind?

- She got booted out.
- What for?
- Drugs.

- Yeah?
- She said she never did it,

but no-one believed her.

- I should meet your sister. Get
something going with her.

- And my brother got put in prison.

- Prison, eh? What for? Stealing
sweeties?
- Murder.

- Get lost.
- Honest.

He done over his girlfriend when she
chucked him.

- I'd do the exact same if any girl
did that to me.

- Usually takes the girls

half-an-hour to set this lot up.

They can say what they like about us
not being able to multi-task

but they can't knock us when it comes
to stuff like this.

- If our last class was anything to go
by, all we seem to be good at is
showing off.

- It's all about the interests of

the pupils, Jonah. I'm surprised

you can't see that.

- Well, no-one asked us in the first
place.

- Tell me...

why do you think people with money and
privilege choose to educate their kids
like this?

- I have no idea.

All I know is that in this school it
causes lads to mess about

and because rich kids don't need

schools to make up for rubbish homes.

- Perhaps you should focus that
razor-sharp analysis

on this experiment for now.

- Sorry to interrupt, Mr Budgen, these
arrived at reception for a Bex Fisher?

- Don't mind me. At the back.

In the middle.

- Hi ya, I'm Janeece. You must be Mrs
Fisher's other daughter?
- Yeah.

- < What was it like going missing?

Bet it was dead dramatic, weren't it?
- Not now!

- I was just asking.

- Go on, open the card, let's see who
it's from.

- Who sent them?

- No name.
- Was it Dad?

- Yeah, yeah, probably, yeah.

- Let's have a look!
- No!
- Oi! Pack it in.

- Hey!

- Ooh, look at her face. I bet they're
from her boyfriend.

You! Cooler!

- < Sir, she didn't mean it.

- I don't care whose daughter you are,
long-lost or otherwise,

you will abide by the same rules as
everyone else. Follow me.

Well, I must admit, I thought you all
would be a lot noisier without the
girls.

I'm sorry.

Stay down there if you want.

Oh, is what happens when you've been
deprived of female company for a
couple of hours?

Right, let's take it from where we
left off last term.

Kyle, did you do this at your last
school?

Dunno.

- Habla Espanol?
- What?

- You're waiting your time trying

to teach him Spanish, Miss, he

hardly

speaks English. He just grunts.

- That's enough. Kyle, sit down!

- Come on, you little tramp.

- < All of you, get back to your
seats.

Now!

- < Come on, hit him! Fight, fight,
fight!

- < Come on, Finn.

- BOYS SHOUT

Tom! Tom, you have to come and help
me.
- What's wrong?

Get up!

Right, get out.

Are you all right, Ms Montoya?

- Thank you.

All right, everyone, back to your
seats now. NOW!

- What worries me is that I'm going to
have to spend all my time dealing with
boys' behavioural problems.

It's not exactly pastoral care.

- You're going to have to trust me on
this one.

You don't know the whole history of
this school.

- In. Full fist fight in Ms Montoya's
class.

- He was slagging me off.

- He hit me first!

- Shut up!
- Knocking seven bells out of each
other.
- What do you have to say?

- Sorry, Miss.
- Get stuffed.

Right, Mr Clarkson, take them both to
the cooler till I decide what to do
with them.

Lay off me.

I don't think we can afford to keep
that boy if he's going to be so
disruptive.

- Or are you more concerned with
disrupting your single sex experiment?

- We can't disrupt the whole school
for one pupil.

- So you send him back to his

useless mum. Well, that's a life
sentence if ever there was one.

- Thank you for your views.
- I'm going to have a word with him.

- This is minging.
- Yeah, cos you're here.

- Do you want your head kicked in?
- Right, you, back to your class now.

I'll deal with you later.
- That's not fair.

- What, give you another opportunity
to fight?

- We not get separate coolers then as
well?
- Now sit down

and keep your mouth shut.

- Can I go now?
- You can go when your teacher tells
ya.

- Please, sir, I need to see my mum.
- Well, you'll see your mummy tonight
when you go home.

- What did you do?
- None of your business.

- I got done for fighting.
- Yeah?

Worked that out.

- It's the first day, two periods
down, are you sure you're not
over-reacting a tiny bit?

- I have just had two hours teaching
from hell. The thought of doing
another hour?!

- Well, we could look at getting in a
teaching assistant, if you really
can't cope.

- Well, if that's the best you can

manage then that will just have to do.
- In the short-term, obviously.

The budget will only stretch so far.

- But I could do that.

Love a go in the classroom. Think I'd
make a good teaching assistant.

- You've got your work cut out here
for you, haven't you?

- I can do that sleeping. I need a new
challenge.
- Oh, I just...

- I can keep the boys in line if
that's what you're worried about.

All the boys on my estate are scared
of me. I have no problems.

- Could I have a word with Kyle Stack?

Look, next time, instead of lashing
out,

I want you to take your feelings out
on this book.

- What? Like tear it up?

- No, just write it down.

- Is she having a laugh?
- Hey, I used to be angry once too,
you know.

I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't
for this book.

He's not used to being told what to
do.

- You look brainy. Do you want to help
me write something clever?

Keep her off my back?

- Just leave me alone.

- Are you all right?

- What are you doing? Get off me.

- What's going on?
- He touched me.

- What you on about? I never.
- Get me out of here now.

- What do you mean he touched you?
- He touched me up. Do you want me to
spell it out for ya?
- She's lying.

- Get me away from that pervert.

- I never!

- I wouldn't presume to take Janeece
away from her duties to you, Karen.

But, somebody they can relate to, a
calming influence, perhaps?

- You know, for all of your fuss,
Ruby, you only actually teach three
boys' classes a week.

- But factor in their natural lack of
enthusiasm for the subject.

Look, don't blame me if I start
phoning in sick on a Monday with my
nerves shot to pieces.

I won't be the only one.

- Oh, please, Karen. I'm counting
staples out there.

- Well, I'd hope that you're doing

a little bit more than that, Janeece.

- Yeah, of course. I need a new
challenge, don't I?

I mean I'll work dead hard and if I
don't pull my weight...

- OK, OK...

Yes. But it's only temporary for one
week till things settle down...

- You won't regret it, I'll be proper
mint, Miss.

- ..to assist and assist only.

Under no circumstances are you to be
left with any kind of teaching or
leading the class.

- Absolutely not.

- Well, that should be one problem
headed off at the pass, then.

- Do I detect a hint of desperation
there?

- Jonah, have you taken up your
protest

with the school council?

- Look, there's no point, everybody
seems to be liking it.

- Well, I certainly don't. If I could
take it up with the school council
myself, I would.

- If you want me to, I will.

- Thanks, Jonah, but I'd better fight
my own battles.

- Don't let it get to you.
- Yeah.

- Miss Montoya... >

..are you all right now?

- Actually, no, I'm not. I'm on my way
to yet another all-boys' class.

Year Nine Spanish. Any suggestions on
how to keep them interested?

Could we talk about this later... in
private?

What's going on?
- This young lady has made a very
serious allegation.

A sexual assault by Kyle Stack.

- This is my daughter, Adanna.
- I don't care who she is, I'm
convinced she's lying.

- I'm not, I'm telling the truth.
- I was there, Karen.

Nothing happened and Kyle was not
being aggressive towards her.

- You were with them the whole time?
You saw everything?
- No, but...

- Can I have a word with you, please?

You do realise that was the very
reason he was excluded from his last
school?

- That doesn't make him guilty here.

- I think I'd like to talk to my
daughter and find out what's going on.

- Well, as her mother, I don't think
you're in a position to be objective.

- I think it's best that, um, Mr Mead
talks to you and then to Kyle.

- Oh, can I just not talk to you, Mum?

- No, I'm afraid I can't, darling, I
couldn't remain impartial.

- Bex, do you want to come with me?

- Do you know why she would do this?
- Can you stop assuming that my
daughter is lying?

- So, um...

Where did Kyle put his hand exactly?

- He...

grabbed my leg.

Tried to get it up my skirt.

- Right in front of Ms Lawal?

That seems a bit strange.

- She wasn't even in the room, and if
she says she was, she's a liar.

- You're doing a lot of accusing
today, Bex. First Kyle. Now Ms Lawal.

- I'm not accusing. I'm telling you
the truth.

Why would I lie?

I've never even met the guy.

- And you're sure that you didn't
encourage him in any way?
- No, of course not.

- OK, I'm sorry, I have to ask, I want
to get things clear.

- I didn't want anything to do with
him and he wouldn't get the message.

Is that not clear enough!?

No-one should have to put up with that
crap.

- Yeah, well, with the way things are
going you won't have to for much
longer.

- Girl's talking out of her bum.
- Ey, we are not going to get anywhere
if you keep sounding off.

Just tell me exactly what happened.

Did you touch her?
- I told you...no.

Well, I went to touch her face.

- So you did touch her?
- Yeah, but

not in that way, she was crying.

- Had you upset her?
- No!

- Kyle, it says in your records that
this happened at your last school.

- That was a lie an' all.
- So everyone's lying except you?

Have you got anything else to say?

- What's the point?

- OK, well, I have no choice but to
send you back to your class

but this isn't the end of it. Now go
on.

- I thought I told you to stay out of
my way.
- We thought you'd been chucked out.
No such luck this time.

- You want to sort this out now?
- When I've only got one good hand?

- All right, after school, with dogs.

- Dogs?

- I've spoken to them both and it's
two very different stories.

But given Kyle's track record, I'd say
it's pretty certain that Bex is
telling the truth.

- 'Good afternoon.'

- Janeece, can you get

Mrs Stack on the phone, please?

- That was a quick decision. Bit of a
kangaroo court, don't you think?

- Well, we have to go on the balance
of probabilities.

- You'd already made up your mind
before you even started asking the
questions.

- We gave this boy a chance and he's
thrown it back in our faces.

- We should at least do better than
half a day.
- It's not your daughter

who's been sexually assaulted.

- So she claims.

- Do you know, I think I made a
mistake

with our new Head of Pastoral.

PHONE RINGS

Mrs Stack?

Hello, it's Karen Fisher from Waterloo
Road.

I'm afraid you're going to have to
come and escort your son from the
school.

- It's probably all talk. I bet he
won't even show up.

- Behave, Josh. You said it yourself.
He's a psycho.

- You not having those?
- Help yourself, mate.

- So, go on then, which girl's dumped
you this time?
- What?

- Got a right face on you.
- Kyle wants to fight him after school
with dogs.

Finn's bricking it.
- Cheers, mate.

Nice one.
- Well, looks like today's your lucky
day.

- How do you work that out?
- I happen to know a man with a dog. A
big one! I can get him for you if you
want.

- Yeah?
- Yeah? Just let me finish these and
we can get off.

You're sorted, mate.
- Nice one.

- I brought you Dad's flowers.

Is that something else you're hiding?

- Jess...

..I'm a loser.

I'm just causing trouble for everyone.

- Don't talk so stupid, OK?

Everyone wants you back because they
love you.

I love you.

Why do you think Dad sent these?

He's never done anything like that
before.

- Don't even touch them.
- Bex, please, just...

What's going on?

- Nothing. Nothing is going on.

Why can't everyone just leave me the
hell alone?!

- No way, no, you are not running away
again.

Bex, please, whatever you've done,
you've just got to face up to it.

- Don't talk to me like that, you
silly cow, I won't listen to it.

You can't let it get to you, this is
what they might say. Come on.

- Don't talk to me like that because
I'm going to have you out this class
room

quicker than you can blink, mister.

- They're never going to listen to
that, you need to speak to them in
their own language.

"Wind your neck in, gooner!" "Who you
cheeking with that face?"

- Um, I don't think that's the sort of
language I'm going to get away with,
Janeece.

- Oh, don't worry, I'm always here if
you want me to step in.

Not that I want to cause any trouble
or nothing.

- Ah, an Alsatian, brilliant!

- What's his name then?

- Timmy.

It's not about the name though, is it?
It's about the dog.

- Is he soft or what?
- Na, he's tough, believe me.

Just needs a bit of...training.

Have you got any better ideas?

- Give me the dog, man.

- Who calls a dog Timmy?

- The good news is his mother's coming
to collect him.

- What does that mean?

- Well, he won't be coming back here.

Or any other school for that matter
with his record.

- It's a bit harsh, isn't it?

- Bex, the boy sexually assaulted you.

- It wasn't that bad.

- You may not think so but you don't
know what that can lead to.

- Mum, I'm not an innocent little
girl!

- I think you'd better go home.

- No.
- Do you know, I'm just done, I need
to go. I just need to go home.

- Right, well, I'll come with you,
then.

- Oh, for God's sake.

- Jess?

- We need to do more than just be
there for her now, Mum. Something's
not right.

- MUSIC: "Superfast Jellyfish" by
GORILLAZ

- What's he going to do, man? Lick
Kyle to death?

I can't take him with me, he'll get
torn to pieces.

- And if you go on your own, you'll
get torn to pieces.

- Bex, wait. I'm not going to let you
go on your own.

- Jess, just leave me. Please.

Whose is that car?
- How am I supposed to know?

- Oh, my God, no! How's he found me
here?
- Bex, what are you on about?

There's nobody there!

What is going on? Why are you acting
so weird?

- Jess, I have messed up, big style.

I was just sick of guys trying to take
advantage and perving on me all the
time.

That lad...he never touched me, I
lied.

- Come here. Come here.

Not too bad this lot, are they?

- Yeah, well, not really that much of
a problem with the Year Eights.

- BOYS LAUGH

- Oi, you two!

If you want to have a laugh, have it
in your own time, not mine.

Ey! Stop it!
- Didn't do anything wrong.

- I have got eyes. Who you cheeking
with that face?

(See, Miss, boys will be boys.)

(Whatever their age.)

(They'd be a whole lot worse if I
weren't here to check up on them.)

- Thanks.

- DOG BARKS

So, as you can appreciate, under these
circumstances,

we have no option but to exclude Kyle
from the school.

- I'll kill him, the little pervert,
beat him black and blue.

- I think that's the last thing your
son needs.

- I don't see why I'm punished for
what he does. Maybe this time

the authorities will take him.

- Probably the best thing that could
happen to him.
- You what?

- Ms Lawal will escort you to pick up
Kyle.

- You! Get your stuff. You've been
expelled.

- You know I didn't do it.

Here, there's your "Feelings".

Did you bring Manic?
- Course I have.

- Mum, I really need to speak to you.
- Can it wait?

I'm really up to my neck in it, here.

- No, not really.

It's about Bex and Kyle.

- What about them?

- Bex lied. Kyle didn't try it on with
her.

- Well, why would she do that?

- I'm not sure, Mum, but she was
acting really weird before.

Saying she's sick of guys perving on
her and stuff.
- What did she mean?
- I don't know, Mum.

But you need to find out.
- Jess!

Your sister left home for nearly two
years.

When she's ready, she'll tell me why
she did it and what happened to her.

- You're scared she's going to leave
again. Aren't you?

That's why you won't ask her anything.

- I'm just giving her the space she
needs.

- Well, you tell me, how are we going
to eat now?

- I told you, Mum, it weren't me.

- Just you wait till I get you home.

- DOG BARKS

- Come here!

- Oh, mate, he's back with the dog

already, what am I going to do?

Couldn't you hack it in the end, then?

You just need to know when you're
beaten, mate.
- Oh, yeah?

- Whoa, whoa, steady on, mate. Hang
on.
- What you doing?

- Stay the hell away from me, the lot
of ya. I've had enough of this.

- Off to scare some more girls, are
you?

- What?!
- It's all over the school, mate.

Everyone knows what a pathetic little
perv you are. You loser.

- Who's been saying that? Was it Bex?
- Everyone, mate. Everyone.

- Come back. I'm not coming after you.
Kyle!

- DOG BARKS

- There you are...liar! Go get her,
boy.

- Oh, my God!

Come on, Jonah, you know this is a
girls' class.

But all last year me and Vic did our
course work together.

It worked really well for both of us.

- And now school's splitting us up?
- Well, take it up with Mrs Fisher.

She can come down here and drag me
out.

Bex! Kyle!

- You won't tell any lies about me,
will ya?

- What ya doing, you psycho?!

- What's going on, girls? All right,
everyone out.

Kyle!
- Kyle!

- Tell 'em. Tell 'em I didn't touch
you.
- Kyle!
- Kyle!

- Tell them I didn't do it!
- You didn't do it, OK, I'm sorry, I'm
sorry.

- Oi, back off lad, you've lost it.

- Come on, this way. Out!
- Argh! No!

- Out, out, out. Come on, come on,
quick, quick.

- Get him away from me. Get him away.

- No way, Kyle! Stay there.

- You're OK, you're safe.

- 'I hope you're not still intending'

to expel Kyle.

None of this would have happened if he
hadn't been wrongly accused.

- For God's sake, he just set his dog
on a pupil and a member of staff's
been injured.

- He's a boy with wonky wiring. Why?
Because his mum made him that way.

So, we either try and give him an
education here, or we chuck him back
at his mum.

Believe me, that's where his problems
lie.

Please.

- OK, after a week's exclusion, I will
give him another chance.

But I'm going to be watching him like
a hawk.

As for you, Bex, you can look forward
to spending your lunchtimes in
detention next week.

Serious accusations have serious
consequences.

You should apologise to him and be
very thankful he's not taking it any
further.

- Sorry, Mum.

- You OK, Miss? Everything all right?

Yeah, looks like I'll live.

All a bit embarrassing, really.

I must have looked like a right state.

See, that's impossible.

It could never happen.

Well, thank you. You really were quite
the hero.

Algo para una hermosa doncella.

Just bear that in mind next time
you're marking my essays, yeah?

- No! No way! You can't do this!

It's not his fault. You can't...

- What's going on?
- They're trying to put him down for
being a dangerous dog.

- Kyle, this is what happens if you
abuse an animal and treat it like a
weapon.

You know what's sad?

I think you love this dog.

- I do!

- And anyone can see it loves you.

- They've got no right to destroy him.

- It's you who's destroyed this dog,

and I'm afraid you're going to have to
live with it.

- He won't...

feel anything, will he?

- No, course not.

You've every right to be the angry
young man that you are, Kyle.

Your mum treats you no better than
that dog.
- She's had a crap life.

- But that doesn't mean you turn your
aggression on the rest of the world.

- Come on, lad, time to go.

- Keep at it.

- Manic!

MANIC!

- Cheeky little Tequila to start?

- God, I needed that.

- Here we go.

- Check out Ruby, the party girl.

- Whoa, everybody should start the day
with two of those.

- A lot of Mexicans DO do that.

Excuse my pronunciation, what is it?

"Tequila cruda".
- Good accent!

So you've been to Meh-i-co?

- Yeah, I had my... second wedding
there.

- Second?
- Yeah?

- Seems like a nice place to get
married, Mexico.

- Nice isn't how I'd describe my
wedding.

We were there during El Dia de los
Muertos.

- You got married on the Day of the
Dead?

- A sign of how our marriage would go.
Another round, please.

- I take it you're happily single now?

- Yeah...after I did it again,

I realised that marriage really wasn't
for me.

- Thrice married, steer well clear.

It's a powder keg waiting to explode.
- I already gathered that.

- I've never been married. I've always
been scared that I'll make a mistake.

- Oh, God, we all learn from our
mistakes, don't we?

Least I did after making three.

No, from now on...no more husbands.

- For this relief, much thanks.

- Anyway, that's enough about me...

Cheers, everyone.
- Cheers!

- Cheers.

All right?
- Oh, hello, Chris, there's one here
for you as well.

- Oh, thanks. But before I do...

You might want to say it now.

- What?
- "I told you so."

- Well, somebody needs to.

- No-one can accuse you of holding
back, can they?

- Look, if it's a yes-person you're
wanting, you're not looking at her.

- Please tell me it's not going to be
"no", though?

- Only if I don't get my own way.

- I know things have been difficult
for you, Bex, since you got back.

But it doesn't give you the right to
lie to me and...cause trouble

for me like you did.

Maybe we need to think again

if you're ready to go back to school?

- Maybe school isn't ready for me yet.

- You can tell me anything, you know?

I can help.

But you've got to let me.

- Mum, if I told you...

..you'd never want to see me again.

- There's a case of child theft needs
looked into.

- Child theft.
- Billie Taylor's mum is trying to
steal her baby off her.

Got any more games upstairs?

- The baby's Billie's, no-one's
disputing that.
- And her mum's dead set on nicking
that baby.

If you don't know that, you shouldn't
be in your job.

Say that you didn't see anything.

- But I did.

- Please, I can't lose my baby.

- I never saw no assault.

- She's lying... Look at her!

- I thought classes were only once a
week.

- If you want to learn how to speak
fluently then you'll just have to keep
going at it.

I can't find Billie anywhere, she's
took the baby with her.
