You in a sari?

HE GIGGLES

My little Fizzy Knickers, in love.

Don't believe in love.
It's a capitalist conspiracy.

Just cos you can't see it,
don't mean it's not real.

Love's like the wind.

It knocks you off your feet,
whether you want it to or not.

You can't control it.

It controls you.

Sounds like love needs to learn
a thing or two about consent.

Maybe it's not for me.
It takes guts to be in love.

If anyone can do it, you can.

No. I choose the easy option.

A life without heartbreak.

Dad? Have you ever been in love?

I'll love you forever if you do
the washing up. Hee-hee!

Didn't I used to know you?

I'm Gav. I like smashing
the patriarchy.

And you are? Greta Thunberg with
a tan.

Oh, I've missed you, Fizza.
I'm glad you text last night.

How's your nan? You know, she had
a fall?

Why you had to cancel the other day.
Oh. Yeah. Sorry. Me nan.

She's better now.
You still up for me art show?

Yeah. Cos, if you are, just a little
sneak peak.

Wow, Gav, it's beautiful.

What were that for?

Missed you, too.

I thought you loved Johnny?

Johnny who?

Shut up, will ya?

You gorgers are all the same.

Johnny?

Look.

I know you've got a lot on ever
since your grandad...

But that woman with the hair, she's
after the wedding reception money.

Are you sure you want to
get married?

If you changed your mind,
I wouldn't be angry.

Why? What have people been saying?

Look, we love each other,
don't we? Yeah.

Look, forget I said owt.

You're asking me if I can't
honour me promises to me family?

To your grandad. I'm not marrying me
Grandad. I'm marrying you.

If you hadn't spent so much time
with them up at that school,

then maybe you'd remember that.
Going to their school don't make me

one of them. Oh, yeah? Cos you sound
like a gorger.

Rose.

You know that I do.

You know.

Yeah.

I love you, too.

You've got a face like a wet kebab.
You thinking about your dad?

No, Johnny.

No, just miss him winding up
Miss Carp.

PHONE PINGS

OMG. Who sent you that?

Gav. It's satire.

It's not Nazi propaganda.

You don't need to put a swastika on
that to see it's just plain racist.

He's hardly Mr White
Supremacy, is he?

People can say one thing
and do another.

Look at your mum. What about me mum?

She plays it tough, but she
misses you.

When are you two going to sort
it out?

Mm, on next Ramadan after never.

Well, I hope it's soon
for your Zara's sake.

Hello.

Oh.

Is there...?

Is there something we need to
talk about? Oh.

If this about Tahir leaving
the kebab in the back of your car,

he going to buy a Forest Fresh
after school.

I'm a busy bee today,
can we speak later?

My mum told me you're pregnant.

I don't believe her. Don't be angry
with her.

She's just excited. So am I!

No. This is just excuse.
I know she can be difficult...

Difficult? You don't see the way
she look down at me.

You don't hear the things she say to
me when you're not there.

What does she say?

I took test.

I'm not pregnant.

Oh.

Are you OK? Yeah. No.
I don't know.

I don't have chance to know what I'm
feeling because your mother

telling everyone my business like
she bloody Twitter.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because she's your mother.

When I thought that we
were pregnant,

I tell her first because I want to
make connection with your mother.

But she just use it against us
and she's trying to tear us apart.

She's going to have to try
a little harder. Isn't she?

Leave her to me.

I'll make sure she doesn't speak
to you like that ever again.

The Trust wants to build a housing
estate on school grounds.

If the Trust sell the playing
field behind our backs,

what am I going to teach, bro?

Fifa?

Excuse me.

School's finished now.
So, off you go. Thank you.

Just relax, all right?

The letters have gone out to
the parents about tomorrow night's

emergency meeting. We get them to
sign our petition,

we block the sale of the land.
Sorted. Yeah...

Trust me.

Lorraine!

Did you manage to call Johnny
Cooper, see if he's OK?

No answer. Sorry. Oh!

How many people are coming tomorrow
night? Let's just say, we won't need

to buy more than one packet of
Hobnobs. That bad?

I just printed the letters.
After that, it's up to the students.

Can I go now?

Jane?

Jane?

No. Jules.

I'm Marina's mum. I've come to
collect her phone.

Oh...

I'm sorry, I'm Martin.

HE STUTTERS

Mr Evershed. I am Mr Evershed.

He's not.

H-he's not.

Right. What's she been up to this
time, then?

That's my picture.

The cheeky mare!

So, erm, were it my bikini

or my face that made you
swipe for me?

HE LAUGHS AWKWARDLY

Obviously, I didn't realise it was
Marina I was speaking to

and that... That was...you.

I'll take that as a compliment.

Blimey! You're keen.

Well, obviously, I'd, erm,
be grateful if you could remind

Marina about the dangers of
interacting with strangers online.

Oh, don't you worry. Marina is
getting the full death stare later.

I don't suppose any of your two
brought a letter

home about tomorrow's meeting,
did they?

No. Ah, it's the, erm, Trust are
selling the playing fields

in secret and we've kind of got this
petition going,

but hardly anyone's going to
come, so...

Are you surprised?

Half this town see you as day care,
the other half work.

It's going to take an incentive to
get them to come to some meeting.

I've got nothing to give them.

And I'm running out of time.

I'll get you a crowd.

Least I can do after Marina's
latest stunt.

I was, erm, just wondering whether
I could take Zara out

for a couple of hours this weekend?

Give you a break and that.

That'd be nice.

Just, er, no accidents this time.

Might give you a chance to go to
the police about the attack?

I have other things to be
getting on with.

The police might find them.

"Look for the man with the neck
tattoo." In this town?

Where would they start?
Forget I said anything.

Why do you care?

Cos you're me mum. Exactly,
I'm the parent.

You're the child.

You don't have to understand my
choices to respect them.

It's hard to respect them when
they're so confusing.

Everything's so black and white
to you.

There's your way and the wrong way.

They beat you up.

That's pretty black and white to me.

You singled me out. You made me
a target.

You made yourself a target with
that school protest.

Are you saying what happened was my
fault? No, of course not!

All I've ever done is
protect my family.

Keeping Dad away from his daughters,
away from me, for two years,

just cos he told you he was gay,
isn't protecting your family.

It's breaking it! No!

You broke this family when you ran
away to be with him!

Right, why does it always turn
into this?

You pair and your rows, you're like
clockwork. It'll blow over.

No way. Not this time.
She's dead to me.

Yeah, yeah.

Wake me up before Countdown.
I'm off to bed.

Look, I didn't mean to be so...
It's just...

I know you don't mean it.

But I do.

This time, I do.

And you know what, it's fine.

She can live her life, I can live
mine. Just like you did.

You're not the only one who's
hurting, you know.

Why are you sticking up for her?

She hates everything I stand for,
but... But what?

I can't deny I don't benefit
every time you two fight.

Dad, what are you talking about?

It makes you love me more,
and I don't do owt to earn it.

Oh, Dad, I'd love you anyway.

But why?

I left you all to go
and "be meself".

She stayed.

To raise two daughters
all on her own.

And she did a bang up job.

When I left her, I broke her heart.

It's not right that I'm the hero
and you two suffer.

But that's why you're my hero.

Not because you hurt her.

But because you did what were right,
even though it was hard.

There's nowt heroic about being
the one to break your family.

She's not gonna change.

You're wrong.

After that protest, after all that,

she still came to that gay bar
to hear your poems.

Why do you think she did that? Hm?

Cos I can tell you now, it
weren't for a gin and tonic.

Then why?

Cos she loves you.

She loves me?
Didn't think she even liked me.

I've read your poems.

I know you feel the same about her
and all.

And maybe...one day soon, you can
take each other for what you are.

You're wrong.

You've more in common than
you think.

She can't bear to be wrong either.

Bye, sir. Bye, sir.

See you tomorrow.

Wanna come with me to Gav's
art show?

Need a distraction from this
mum business.

Ringside seats to the snogathon?
Don't want me spoiling your fun.

See you tomorrow, ladies.

Night. Night, sir.

Mr Evershed.

I know, the meeting.

What's the point?
Nobody's gonna come, Lorraine.

You might want to take
a look in the hall.

Go on.

CHATTERING

Do you reckon these are from Fried
and Prejudice?

Wouldn't eat from that chippie.

Nah, I heard they put dogs in
the donner.

But I love those kebabs.

As I were saying, in me
pre-halal days

I used to love a saveloy and a
bit of curry sauce.

But enough about me love life.

Ah, did you do all this?
I'm blown away.

It's-It's fantastic.

Thank you.

Well, let's just hope your speech
is as good as the catering, eh?

Sir only let me show it cos I said
it were satire.

Mug.

It is satire though, right?

I don't like to define me art.

Used to think me mum were like that.

All squashed out of shape
cos of religion.

Not just religion squashing her
out of shape these days, eh?

She got really hurt, Gav.
Homophobes reap what they sow.

We don't know that that's why
she got attacked.

Police got any leads yet?

Don't wanna talk about her.

Everything reminds me of her.

Your painting.

Your tattoo.

What about me tattoo?

The guy who attacked her had one.

Who doesn't in this town, eh?

So, erm, which one's
your favourite?

Where did you go,
after the open mic night?

You can't be serious? You've got
nowt to hide though, right?

You've obviously had a tough week...

Just answer the question, Gav.

Where did you go?

Does it matter?

Yeah, it does if you attacked
me mum.

Tell me. Where did you go after
the open mic night?

You can't deny she were
asking for it.

Asking for it? She's no victim.

She's a bigot.

Look for the man with the
neck tattoo.

I didn't know, Fiz.

Do you know her?

How's your nan? Why you had to
cancel the other day.

Oh, my God.

It was you.

It were there in black and white the
whole time with your racist art.

If I were racist, why would
I go out with you?

That weren't a denial.

I'm the victim here, Fizza.

The victim of your mum's
hate protest.

I thought she was just
another protestor,

so I taught her a lesson and I
fought back. Fought back?

You attacked a woman in the street.

That makes you the problem,
not the victim.

What was I to you, some
kind of sick joke?

When I found out she was your mum,
I tried to keep away.

I thought we were the same.

I don't hate Muslims, Gav.

I hate bigots.

You disgust me.

I'm not a bigot.

Fizza.

Don't worry, I won't keep you long.

I know most of you are only here for
the chips anyway.

I don't know if you've noticed
some of the signs

our students have done.
Thank you, girls.

The Trust is selling our
playing fields

behind our backs.

If the Trust might interject?

Did you think we wouldn't
hear about your little revolution?

I can't let you do this, Ken.

Do what? Turn a muddy old
field into cash for your children?

We weren't born yesterday.

If there was any cash coming to
the school,

you wouldn't have kept it secret
in the first place, would you?

Untrue.

Cos I hold in my hand
a piece of paper

that assures those
finances for this school.

Come on, Martin, nobody has to lose
their job today.

No.

I'm not going to shake
your hand, Ken.

Because where does it end?

What's for sale next time, huh?

I don't think you understand, Ken,
it's not about money.

It's about the heart of this school.

That ...at is priceless.

And that's what makes this a place
where students

make friends for life.
KNOCKING ON DOOR

Where they can leave the
responsibilities of home behind.

Where they can learn to fall
and pick themselves up again.

So, yes, you can sell that field,

you can sell it, Ken,

but you are gonna sell it
over my dead body.

Yeah, well, thankfully it's
not up to you.

He's right, it's not up to me.

It's up to you.

So, please, sign the petition
and show the Trust

that our children's education is
not for sale.

Yes, Marty Evershed! You tell him!

CHEERING

Go on, Martin! Go on!

That's what I'm talking about!
Sign the petition.

You see, Ken.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yes. Thank you.

Yes.

HE SIGHS

Hiya.

Saved you a chip, Mr Evershed.

You can call me Martin, you know.

It's the least I can do after
everything you've done.

You have been great.

Oh, I can erm...

I can think of summat else.

Why didn't I see it?

He did a very good job of hiding it.

Sometimes you gotta
read between the lines.

He were just anti-Muslim and I
should've seen it.

I need to put this all behind me
and just move on.

I won't lie.

That sounds like a good plan.

Kayla, promise you won't lie
to me again?

After all this...

..I don't think I could take it
from you.

Oy.

Welcome back, Johnny.

If you think you can just lead me
on, then drop me in the friend zone

like a lead balloon, y'know you've
got another thing coming.

Hey.

I know what Gav did.

Are you OK?

I'm always OK. It's me.

Right. You don't need to pretend.

I've been better. You deserve better
than Gav.

I didn't mean me.

I'll see you in class.

Men are all liars.

Except Johnny.

Maybe we should become nuns.

Y'know, I've always fancied a
wimple. OK.

Yeah, the Sister Pact.

From this day hence,
I do solemnly swear

that I will never let a member
of the weaker sex come between us.

Uh, look at them nails.

Anyone'd think you'd been
mucking out the horses.

That's right, Queenie,
kick a girl while she's down.

Well, if you show up like that
on Saturday,

you'll be straight out the
door. Why, what's Saturday?

Johnny's wedding.

To Rose.

Wedding?
You have got to be kidding me.
