Right. A baby? You know, a small human being.
Everything all right?
No, not really. It's you and your attitude.
Fine, I'll remember that.
Count it if you like.
You taking this money means you keep well away from my daughter.
I reckon you could model. Me, how? You'd wait forever if you waited for Mother Nature.
How much does a boob job cost?
Let's take a photo, send it to Bolton, eh? Smile then!
Fasten your seatbelt, Kim. New guy in charge. Next two days at least.
God help us. You're bad enough as a deputy, you're going to be insufferable as a stand-in head.
Just want to keep standards up while Rachel is away.
Here you are.
Sir! Have you seen it?
Seen what, Sam? Traveller site, just round back.
Thanks, Sam.
Morning, Eddie Lawson Deputy Head. Have you got permission to be here? You do know this is school property.
Bernadette Callaghan, from the Traveller Education Service. Right.
I'm looking for...Miss Mason.
She's at a conference in London I'm afraid.
Well, these will be your responsibility then.
Eight fresh faces. No-one told me about this.
They only arrived on Saturday.
It's all been a rush, but we'll get there.
Great.
Welcome to Waterloo Road! Let's go inside and get you enrolled and allocated to classes.
We heard there was a breakfast club.
That's right. We'll make that our first stop then, shall we?
Right, who shall I give these to?
That'll be me, thank you.
We can, um...
I'm stringent on administration, Mr Lawson.
It's essential that pupil traveller records are updated regularly.
Of course. In my experience a lot of schools don't care about what happens to the traveller children.
They won't go out of their way for them. Well, Waterloo Road will be the exception to the rule.
I mean, paperwork for an extra eight children, it's not much to ask for, is it?
If you need anything you've got my number.
Hiya, babes. What do you think? Think she's hot?
What? I mean "hot" yeah, definitely hot.
How you feeling, babes? Still a bit sore? A bit. How long till, eh?
Is that all you think about? I told you it'll be a couple of weeks.
Weeks? You trying to say I'm not worth the wait?
Can I have a peek? So I know what I can look forward to.
Janeece?! A word, please.
See you in a bit.
My office.
So, what was going on down there then? Miss?
We've all been exposed to the details of your breast augmentation,
we do not need to see the results.
Sorry, since having 'em done I just can't help but show 'em off.
Yeah, but this is a school, Janeece, this isn't a "glamour shoot."
Put your jumper on and stop drawing attention to yourself.
I would do, miss, but it doesn't fit any more.
Hiya, miss. Janeece.
The media's got a lot to answer for, I tell you.
The "beauty" industry - big boobs, small waists.
Girls killing themselves to fit in because they're told that's how they should look.
Ooh, hark at Mary Whitehouse.
Pick your battles, Kim. Everybody's doing it now.
Be able to get them off the shelf soon.
In fact, I might ask Janeece where she went for hers. Steph. Oh, lighten up.
Listen if you had the money and the chance,
don't tell me you wouldn't want knockers like an 18-year-old. Well, I know I would.
Just so I get my facts straight, it is school property?
Yeah, I thought so. And you had no idea they were here?
Well, I don't know, I've only just got in.
Not yet, I'll go and speak to them now.
Yeah, bye.
Hi, Eddie, have you got a minute? It's Janeece, I...
What's all this?
Only eight traveller kids, all with different abilities.
So no-one knows what level they're at, or if they'll be here next week,
and the fact that they've marched in, in the middle of a term when we've got exams coming up,
and all my teachers are stressed, but is that a problem to us? Oh, no!
Eddie, I still need to.. Jan...
Well, you know what this means. Hmm, theft, vandalism and litter. More work.
Assuming we can get them to do any in the first place.
Shout a bit louder, why don't you?
What? Three gypsies in my first period? I bet that's more than anyone else has got.
I think the correct term is travellers.
The world's gone mad, it was always gypsies in my day.
It's like teaching with your hands tied behind your back.
If that's what it takes, that's what you've gotta do.
Look, I'm not saying that our kids are the brightest sparks in Rochdale,
but well, they'd give that lot a run for their money in the grey matter department.
Those are the facts. Look, the facts are, Grantly, that these traveller kids are our responsibility.
So shut up with the phobia, it's doing my head in.
Eddie Lawson, Deputy Head. What are the kids supposed to have done now?
Nothing. As far as I know they've settled in very happily.
Shouldn't he be with them?
I'm not going in there.
I think you'll find it's the law.
Talking of which, you do know this is school property? Is that right?
You don't have permission? One of the lads will have sorted that out.
Yeah, well I'll be following that up as well. How old is, er...?
Kyle. He's 14.
Ah, you've got maths first period with me.
No way. I'm not trying to be the bad guy here.
You don't need to try. I've got a legal obligation for you to attend.
What are you going to do? Threaten to have him taken away?
By the time you get the paperwork through, we'll be gone.
You'll find I can surprise you, and I normally get my own way.
Oh, here we go! Mr, er? Peters.
Mr Peters, you have the choice to live your life how you want.
Why inflict it on the kids? At the expense of their education. I'm happy with my life.
I'm sure you are. It looks the life of Riley from here.
While you're under 16 I need you with the rest of the kids.
Either that or I'm going to call the council.
Dad, I reckon this man in charge is very serious. Ha-ha-ha-ha!
He's a cheeky little scamp, isn't he?
Yeah. I'll have a little bit less of your cheek and a bit more getting your head down.
You'd better go with the man, son.
I won't learn anything!
You know what'll happen. They'll just make trouble for us like the last time.
All right. But it won't be good.
Don't say you haven't been warned.
Something else, love? Some of that as well, please. OK.
Oi you, wait your turn. That's mine that.
Yeah? Don't see your name on it.
Listen, I were in the queue before you.
That's disgusting, did you see that?
A couple more sausages, please.
They've all gone, haven't they, love. What?
Hi, right...if you've all finished we're going to get you sorted into classes, all right?
If Colin Hastings, Donna Ellis...
# She came down from the mountain She had wild flowers in her hair... #
Hiya, we've got Donna Ellis for you.
Donna, come in and find yourself a desk.
Kim. Yeah? They're all doing revision, what am I supposed to do with her?
I'm sure you'll find something.
Half of these traveller kids can't speak English, let alone French.
Look through your worksheets, I'm sure you'll find something.
OK, boys, do you want to follow me?
Donna, plenty more of those, if you play your cards right.
Kyle, your seat is next to Colin, will you take it, please?
I'm really thinking about things, sir. Like who actually needs maths?
Why, everybody does.
Does a zookeeper?
A bus driver?
A bus driver needs to count his fares.
Yeah, but that's counting, isn't it? It's not maths.
Who needs equations and stuff? Venn diagrams?
Sir, just send him home.
I'll send him to the cooler if he don't watch out.
Come here, you. Sit down there and don't budge. Good lad.
I did tell you I didn't want to be here. Not my fault you don't listen.
Can't you just pack it in?
Some of us actually want to learn here.
You? Since when?
What's the problem? I just want to be left to do what I want.
It's not like I'm stupid.
So if everyone just did what they want, what kind of a world would we be living in?
No-one bothering to go to work, no shops, no schools.
More places to park. No law and order.
Sounds good to me.
Sir, can you just shut him up?
Just do your best there, Kyle.
He's just going through the motions.
What's up? Are you two still not talking? It's so hard him being around all the time.
It's like he dumps me, now he's grinning at me like he's this really nice guy.
Like nothing's wrong. I just wish he'd leave me the hell alone.
I'm Sam by the way.
Sambuca, but my mates call me Sam.
Kyle.
Sometimes I don't want to be at this school either, but you've got to.
I hate it. You don't know anybody when you get there, nobody wants to know you, so what's the point?
I know what it's like. My family move around a lot as well. Caravans?
Houses, we never stay in the same place for long.
It's like you don't get to make mates, get to join clubs.
"Putting down roots" that's what my mum calls it.
When do you think you'll move again?
Never, I hope. I like it here.
I didn't at first, but now I don't want to be anywhere else.
You're not the only one frustrated today.
The corridors are full of raging male hormones.
What are you talking about? Janeece is back. Showing off her new look. God help us.
Bolton's parading her round the playground like she's a prize cow.
OK, right, well, we'll have a word.
It doesn't help that she's adapted her school uniform form beyond recognition to show it off.
It's bound to start a trend.
Uniform customisation.
We've let it slip too far.
OK, Kim, you do what you need to do.
I've got to get onto the LEA about traveller funding.
OK.
Miss, this is Kyle. And he don't want to be at Waterloo Road.
That's a shame, cos I was really looking forward to meeting you.
Were you?
Sam, can Kyle sit next to you?
Can anyone give me an example of a punchy headline?
Man bites dog, miss.
Very good, anyone else?
Boy escapes from school at lunchtime. Good. LAUGHTER
Any others?
Traveller forced to sit in lesson while quad bike rusts in the rain.
It's a bit long. How about quad bike rusts while pupil learns?
Are you boys OK with your reading and writing?
He does do it for his dad.
Aw, is your dad blind?
No, he just can't read or write. LAUGHTER
Well, if you have any problems I'm sure Sam won't mind helping you out, Kyle.
And Lauren, do you want to give Colin a hand? Yeah.
ALL: Wooo!
Sir. Right, OK! Get the tables out of the way. Look at the state of me. This jacket were a fortune.
Well, don't just stand there, lad, take it off.
My trousers are soaked, and my feet.
Yeah, all right, all right, settle down, it's not like someone's died.
Is it the water tank, sir?
No, if it was there'd be a lot more water.
Is that daylight?
I don't believe it...
They've only taken the lead off the flaming roof.
What are you talking about? I bet your parents are no strangers to the scrap metal yard.
You go to the caretaker's office, get some mops and buckets.
And get some dry clothes, boy.
Well done, Kyle. See what you can do when you put your mind to it. Anything else you're good at?
Well, I like reading, writing, poems and stuff.
Well, you've certainly got a lot to say for yourself. Do you know any?
I could put down roots But I say to the suits
You have to give me a choice Stop shouting over my voice
So I move about a bit Don't see nothing wrong with it...
One day I want to see the world But with my favourite girl.
Beats staying in one place Being bored off my face.
I'm not sure about this school With its policies and rules
A girl said it was all right And I don't want to fight
So how about you cut me some slack before I hit the road, Jack?
Did you memorise that all by heart?
No, miss, I made it up just now.
There'll be no metalwork department by next week. What makes you think it was them?
Of course it was them, they've had all weekend to do it.
Grantly, the whole school is falling apart.
What are you going to do, blame the travellers for the dry rot in the toilets?
I'll get someone in to take a look.
I'm telling you, if it's not nailed down...
Stealing might be pushing it, Grantly. They're not bad kids.
Tom! My essay on Blood Brothers. Have a read if you get a minute.
I will, thanks. Looking forward to it. Is this...?
Soup. Minestrone.
Ah, you've got a chess club? Only for geeks though.
Hey, I like chess.
Play my dad sometimes.
Thought that would be more up your street.
School football team, eh? Cool. What they like?
They're all right, I suppose.
Debating society?
You'd be good at that. They get to argue for hours on end. Maybe.
Never had the chance to join a club.
What's this about? INAUDIBLE
What's this about, miss?
The sooner you get in the sooner you'll find out. Come on, as quick as you can.
Right, basically, we have noticed that the modifications of school uniforms have gone beyond a joke.
PUPILS: What? So we're going to have a crack down.
ALL TALK AT ONCE
You're going to see all these notices around the school.
You're also going to get a letter to take home to your parents.
Quiet please, quiet.
Miss, why are you getting all worked up about making the uniform changes now?
Because everyone's noticed that it's getting out of hand.
A uniform is a uniform because it makes everybody uniform.
THEY ALL TALK AT ONCE
So it's got nothing to do with the fact that Janeece came in looking like Jordan?
Ugh!
Course not, Danielle, don't be stupid. Funny.
Miss, when's this all happening?
Now.
Ties off, jackets off, start from the beginning.
I want ties up to the top.
Tie round.
Skirts rolled down, oh, and shirts done up, please, and your tie. Miss, it won't button up.
Try, Janeece.
Make sure that's on your neck, take that over...
..round the back.
# We're part of a We're part of a crazy world
# We're part of a We're part of a crazy world... #
Makes you feel like a big man, does it? If I knew what you were talking about.
Flick's too good for you. The best thing she can do is to get you out of her system for good!
I'm going to make sure we go out on the town this weekend,
and she's going to find herself a new fella. Someone who'll appreciate her.
Thanks a lot, Barbie.
You what? We have to dress like we go to some poncey public school because of you.
Erm, and how is that my fault?
Everything was cool until you got THEM done. In a bit! What is she like?
And get Campbell, like having a little knot in your tie
instead of a big one's going to make a difference?
Pathetic, innit? Feel like a flaming soldier.
Yeah, well that's what they want. To turn us all into clones.
It's Bryant's fault.
Well, if they want us all to turn into clones, we should turn ourselves into Janeece clones!
You know that poem you did in Miss Koreshi's class? The words keep going on round in my head.
It's like a song. Yeah?
# I moved around a bit Don't see nothing wrong with it
# Some day I want to see the world But with my favourite girl. #
That's brilliant. D'you like it?
I love it. Could be songwriters us two, your lyrics, my music. What?
Oi, you owe me money. Yeah?
For my bag, my jacket and my trousers, all ruined. And how's that his fault?
If his lot hadn't nicked the lead off the roof I wouldn't have got soaked.
We haven't nicked any lead. What do you think we are?
Thieving skags.
Maybe if your school wasn't so crap the ceiling wouldn't have caved in.
Paul, back off, yeah? Or as soon as our Earl gets out I'll make sure he comes looking for you.
I haven't finished with you.
We get hassle in every school we go to.
It's why I don't like going.
If you get any more hassle you'll tell me, yeah?
Sorry.
Are you all right? It's fine, I've got it.
I'm just trying to help. Just stay out of my way.
Look, Flick, can we talk, please?
Why would I want to talk to you?
I just, I don't understand why we can't still be friends.
Friends don't treat each other like dirt.
I'm sorry, OK?
Marley, I don't even want to see you, let alone be mates,
so if you think anything of me at all you'll stay away.
# You said things would never change
# But sometimes they get re-arranged... #
And then Paul came up and started it off. It could have got nasty, sir.
It's all right, I sorted it out for you.
All right, Sam. Thanks.
We really are going to have to our eye on this, Eddie.
It's all under control, Kim.
Oi, you!
Gimme my phone. I haven't got your phone.
Oi, what's going on? What now?
It was on my desk, now it's gone. Why would I rob your phone?
Give it him back. What? You heard me, give him the phone back.
I've not got your flaming phone! You thieving skag. Happy?
You've given it to one of your skag of a friends, haven't you?
Any idea which one?
No.
What's going on? Stolen phone, shifted it faster than the Artful Dodger,
it'll be the other side of the playground by now.
Oi, settle down, settle down you two.
And less of the name-calling, or it'll be the cooler for all of you.
He's got my phone. Did anyone actually see what went on?
You're joking, aren't you?
These professionals? It's all smoke and mirrors.
Go on, Colin, back to your football. And you, go and have a proper look for your phone.
Bolton, go and help him.
If you can't find it, find me!
What's the matter with these lot?
What's wrong?
I need to talk to you.
What's happened?
Mum, you know that money I got...
Oh, tell me you didn't steal it, Marley.
Ralph Mellor gave me it. Why?
Why would he do that?
We had a deal.
Look, he offered me five grand if I didn't see Flick any more.
I said no to him at first, but then we were evicted.
So all this time we've been living off Ralph Mellor's money?
I was trying to put a roof over our heads, something that you should have been doing!
That's right, blame it on me. I'd rather you had stolen it than take anything from him.
What was I supposed to do, Mum?
You got us into this mess.
Oh, why don't you just say it, Marley? Go on, say it. I'm a crap mother.
Why don't you say it, Marley? Tell me what's on your mind, why don't you! I'm crap, aren't I?
Yes, yes, OK? Yeah, you are a crap mother!
Thanks. I knew I could count on you.
Wait, Marley, wait, please! I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Mum, I'm in so much trouble here, and it's killing me I can't be with her!
I'll get you the five grand.
How? Leave it to me.
You go and tell Flick what an idiot you've been.
Hey, you're a bloke, she'll understand.
If Janeece can get away with falsies, so should everyone.
Hey, steady on, you'll put a hole in it. Sorry.
I've been thinking.
I wonder how much our little franchise is worth.
I dunno. Why?
I just need to borrow some money.
From the business? Well, yeah, if I could.
Well, you've asked that before, Rose and the answer's still the same.
I'm sorry. I mean we're just setting off.
We don't want to put business at risk, do we?
What about you? Could you lend me?
Can't, sorry.
Oi!
Why aren't you in class, Peters?
Sorry, sir. I'm lost.
You don't have any trouble finding your way to a supermarket car park in the dead of night,
yet you can't navigate your way to a classroom?
I got a bit mixed up. Sorry. You've got art with me. C'mon, I'll show you.
Wait, you got a map of the school?
Use it. Late again you're in detention.
Ignore him, he's always like that.
Listen, madam, just because I'm overdrawn doesn't mean I haven't got any money.
Yeah, well you can tell the manager that I'm coming to see him, right now!
Er, can we sort those ties out, please, ladies?
Sorry, miss - he got lost.
OK, take a seat.
That's because he can't read. Like his old man.
Sorry, do you have something to say then, Liam?
Yeah, I have, miss.
Why is it that these don't have to wear uniforms and we all do?
Well, if any of the travellers decide to come here full-time then they'll also have to abide
by the uniform rules, but for now, I think we can make an exception.
Does that answer your question, Liam?
OK. Sam.
Eddie, you wanted to see me?
Christmas, 1914, what happened?
Er...
The British and the Germans laid down their arms
and played a game of football in no man's land, didn't they? Yeah.
How about you helping me build some bridges between the travellers and our lot? This lunchtime.
There's been a bit of name-calling, it's not World War I just yet.
Well, the sooner we diffuse any tensions on the pitch the better.
Sooner you learn some hand-eye co-ordination the better.
There's nothing like a level playing field for getting kids to bond.
As I recall of World War I, come Boxing Day they were shooting each other again.
Yeah, but as you said, hasn't got that bad yet, has it?
So, Mr Clarkson and I have organised a football match.
CHEERING
Our new arrivals versus Waterloo Road.
So, see if we can settle our differences on the pitch.
Has he never been to a United/City match?
It'll be a proper game, supervised by us.
So after lunch, get togged up and we'll see you outside.
SHOUTING
We've got to get them back. Don't worry, man, we will.
Trust me, we'll mash them up.
Whoa, what's going on here?
Well, everyone's doing it. What?
Well, everybody thinks that the only girl that'll look good in this clobber's Janeece,
you know, cos of her boob job.
We don't think that's fair. We're just copying Janeece.
Go and take 'em out.
Now!
Job well done.
I'm going to have to get Janeece's mum in.
What?
What's wrong?
Pickled onion.
Kyle!
Will you mind that for me?
What are you so smiley-smiley for?
Shut up.
Just cos I let 'em stay out late
doesn't mean I don't love 'em.
You know I am there for those kids 24/7.
Except from when I'm at work, but you can't be there all the time, can you?
OK, so I haven't been brilliant in the past, but those kids don't want for love.
I got their tea on the table...most nights.
Whoops.
Another coffee?
Can't youse count?
It's five-a-side, man.
Hey, mate, d'you play? Yeah. We're one short.
Fancy being a traveller? Go on. It'll be a laugh. All right. Come on then, good man.
Come on, Kyle!
Hey, whose side are you on?
Whoo-hoo. Come on, Denzil.
Come on, Kyle.
Don't let him...
You should have gone to Specsavers.
What are you doing?
The point of a goalkeeper is to save the ball!
See? Takes a good old game of footie to clear the air.
SHOUTING
Yes!
Shot!
SHOUTING
Come on!
Woah! Woah!
Foul! Ref, come on!
What happened?
I thought you were supposed to be watching this game, sir?
Bolton, what's going on?
If he can't take it, why's he playing?
Are you all right? You're twice his size!
Are you all right, lad? Come on, Den, sit this one out. I'll play.
Let's sort your shin out.
Where's the ball? Give us the ball.
That's a foul, free kick to the travellers.
Play fair. OK. Play on!
SHOUTING
He's my best boy.
What the hell have I done to him?
You know, he deserves better. I'm not fit to call myself that boy's mother.
Are you OK, Rose?
D'you think you're better off at home?
Are you trying to say that I can't do my job?
I didn't say that, Rose. Then what are you trying to say?
CLANKING
Come on, lads, play fair now, play fair.
What did you say? Get rid of some nervous energy?
They certainly seem to be doing that, don't they?
Go on, tackle him!
CROWD: Oh!
Fair tackle that! Fair tackle, weren't it?
You're a liar. You what? You heard.
Shut it, skag! And who are you calling a skag? Come on then! And who are you pushing, minga?
Hey! That's enough!
Pack it! SHOUTING
The pair of you!!
JEERING
I'm telling you now...
Stand over there.
CHANTING
You, over there! Put him down.
Rose, come on get your act together.
Please, please just... Come on, get it together, Rose!
Rose, just to let you know, your Denzil's taken a tumble.
But he's OK. Seen the state of this?
What's going on? Is she bladdered.
Oh, yeah, a ton of vodka.
Where were you? Hey, don't blame me! You need to get her out of here.
When did she become my problem exactly? Look at the state of her, she needs help.
Yeah, professional help!
I'm a teacher not a counsellor.
Tom, you need to get her out of here,
if she's caught like this we'll lose business. Now come on!
Just leave it, Candice.
You get off me! Stop touching me! Shut up.
Come on. Leave me alone! Rose, be quiet! No.
Hey, just calm down!
Turn left that's the cooler, find a seat and get in it!
If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. Sambuca?! No, stop it now!
That's it. Other side of the room, Bolton.
Just keep calm, will you? Paul, don't sit near her.
That seemed to go as well as expected, didn't it?
No! No! I've had just about as much of you as I can take!
Leave me alone.
Have you finished? Huh? Good!
STOP! GET OFF ME!
Let me out of here! Get your hands off me!
SHE SCREAMS
Excuse me! Can you tell me where the head teacher's office is? Memory like a sieve, me. Sure.
Yeah. Well, I can point you in the right direction.
Does Mr Lawson know you're coming?
I was asked to come in. Miss Campbell, I think her name was.
Right, OK. Well, if...
you just head up those stairs, hook a right and the office is there.
Ta. Can't be doing with all this.
It's ruined me day this has.
I had to cancel getting my nails done.
They could have a lift in this place.
I see you've met the legend that is Mrs Bryant.
Janeece's mum?
Course it is.
I clearly saw that gypo...
traveller boy having a go at Paul.
You're sure that's how it was? Not the other way around? Hm-hm, positive.
First I saw, it was a full-scale riot.
From what I could see, Bolton was giving it some. Well, I'm not going to tolerate this kind of behaviour.
Separate 'em and keep the travellers in the cooler till I figure out who to punish first.
You can't do that, that's victimising them.
What's the alternative? Allow rioting all over the school?
Oh, I've seen it all now.
Never had this before they arrived.
So what kind of message is that sending them?
That they're not good enough to mix with our kids?
I'm sure Rachel will be pleased her inclusion policy is working!
You'd rather they were fighting in the classrooms? That'll happen next!
No, that's not... KNOCKING
All right. I'm here. What's she done now?
Is this the answer?
Does the situation miraculously fix itself the minute that you get pissed?!
That is enough, Tom, leave it.
You're supposed to be an adult! Your kids have got more bloody sense than you!
I said that's enough!
Come on, babes, come on.
SOBBING I know. Come on.
It's about how some of the boys have been reacting to Janeece's...
new look.
Getting all hot and bothered?
It's not just the boys, it's the comments and imitation of the girls as well.
Just dead bitchy.
You have been drawing attention to yourself though.
Well, I told her to just go up a couple of cup sizes, but no, she had to go for Katie Price specials.
Well, Janeece has never been known for her moderation, but our concern
is for our more impressionable pupils who are copying her.
I've not asked them to do anything.
- I done this for me. - Yeah...
That and her career.
- I'm gonna be a model. - Figure like that, she should be showing it off.
But not necessarily at school, it's not the right place, which is why we've asked you to come in.
I mean, do you have to have your blouse unbuttoned so low?
It's not my fault, I left the house this morning it was all buttoned up, ran for the bus, a few popped off.
Er, could you wear an extra few layers, you know,
added insurance?
What should she do, wear a raincoat all day?
Look, the bottom line is - while you're in school I need you to set an example.
The young girls look up to you.
Is there any way you could, you know, cover up and dress appropriately?
Ever heard of freedom of expression? What are you, the clothes mafia?
Look, the bottom line is we have a school uniform policy for a reason.
Right, come on, fixed abodes.
Shouldn't worry about her, love. Did you see her face?
- Who, Miss Campbell? - Green with jealousy.
They getting locked up as well?
You're not locked up. All right then, so we can just walk out of here then, yeah? No, sit down.
Look, we just don't allow fighting in this school.
Tell that to them then, cos they started it.
We were just defending ourselves.
Miss Shackleton.
How are they doing? They're not happy. They keep saying they never started it.
I'm just thinking about everyone's safety.
Grantly'll take over from here.
And Grantly, I'll thank you to keep your vitriol to yourself.
How are you all doing?
What do you reckon? You stuck us in here when we didn't do anything.
You're no different to him.
Just like everywhere we go, innit?
Kim, how did you get on?
Bolton and Paul are insisting the travellers started it.
But I really think we need to get them out of there now, I don't like segregating them.
Why do you always do that? Use words that make us out to be right-wing bully boys.
Just listen for a minute, Kim.
What can you hear?
Calm, that's what. Excuse me.
Oh, sir? Yes, Denzil, what's up?
It wasn't their fault.
Paul started it. I heard him in the canteen, saying he was going to get that gypsy kid.
Are you sure he said that?
Come in. Have a seat.
So, Paul, what happened with your phone?
Have you found it? No, sir.
Have you reported it stolen yet?
Erm, not yet, sir, no.
Don't you think you'd better? I mean someone could be running up a hefty bill.
I will, yeah. Use the school phone if you like.
Eh? To report it?
If it's missing we'd better move quickly.
Are you all right, Paul? BUZZING
Your leg seems to be vibrating.
Unless we've just found your phone?
Why do you think I don't send him?
It's less hassle keeping him off.
Actually it wasn't Kyle's fault. Our kids have got a lot to answer for.
Look, I know Kyle can be a bit of a pain in the neck,
but he's got a lot of potential.
It would be a huge boost to have him here full-time.
If that's what the boy wants, but he's always hated school.
He's no different to a lot of kids his age. We've got ways round that.
Stimulating the interests - that's the key.
The only thing he's interested in is stripping down that flaming quad bike.
Well, if he knows his way round an engine, maybe I can push him in the direction of an NVQ in mechanics.
He shows a lot of promise in English too.
I promise you our teachers will bring out the best in him.
He could do really well in his GCSEs in a couple of years.
And if you do decide to put down roots then I can help you with the housing.
Could be good for the lad - getting some qualifications, I suppose.
Flick. I've got nothing to say to you.
Hear me out, all right?
No. You blew it, Marley. Flick, wait,
I was stupid, OK?
Everything was great, but you decide it's not working and you finish it.
Why, Marley, what was so bad that you had to do that?
What did I do? Nothing.
I must have done something wrong? I lie awake at night with it going through my head.
Or is that just how you get your kicks?
I can understand you for being angry. I was wrong.
Damn right. So get over it like I'm having to.
Flick, come on, I miss you.
Flick, I love you.
I really love you.
Come in, Kyle. Have a seat. You haven't had an easy day today, have you?
You've been a bit of a handful, to be honest, but I can understand why.
I owe you an apology, mate.
We didn't quite get it right today, did we? Well, not all of us
because Miss Koreshi's a big fan and it seems you've made a good friend in Sambuca.
But we didn't quite get off on the right foot,
and I'd like a chance to put that right.
This is a great school,
but it's only bricks and mortar.
It's the pupils that make it.
Kids not unlike yourself.
Wherever we go there's always someone who gives us hassle.
Why do you think I never like going to school?
Yeah, I can understand that.
But you know what, sir,
this place is kinda cool.
Today's been OK, sir.
Done loads of cool stuff.
I reckon I'll be back tomorrow.
Well, that's good news, Kyle.
Here you go.
There's a meeting tonight.
There's the address. I told you, I only drink when I'm stressed, when I need to unwind.
You can dress it up any way you like, Rose, you're in denial.
The blackouts, the hangovers, blaming other people for the reason you drink.
You've got a problem and need to deal with it.
Just go, Rose, for the sake of kids.
Don't try and emotionally blackmail me.
If you're not prepared to make an effort I don't see why I should,
I'm not going to carry you while this business goes down tube.
That's what's going to happen, Rose.
Look at what you're throwing away.
All right, I'll go, OK?
Just to prove you two wrong and to prove that I am not dependent on drink.
But, you can't tell anyone.
Well, I don't see any reason why anybody else has to know.
I mean it. Not anyone. Not Davina.
This stays between us three.
But if she asks I'm not going to lie.
Well, Tom, if I make this promise to you. I need you to promise me this.
All right.
Hello, Eddie Lawson, Waterloo Road - deputy head.
I was just enquiring about an application
for housing for the family of one of our traveller pupils.
(Look at the state of her.) GIGGLING
Are you all right, Janeece? I will be. When folk stop talking about me, staring at me.
I always thought it'd be great to be noticed.
But when I am I just want it to go away.
What?
The things the doctors put inside you...
The implants?
Are they supposed to make you happy?
Yeah. I think so.
Are they working?
Yeah.
Ah, good.
No, I'm sure they'll be very pleased to hear that.
Will you send the form here for my attention? Eddie Lawson.
Good, yeah. No, thank you very much. Bye.
Kyle.
Go on, I'll catch you up.
Guess what? It's all sorted.
Your dad, the housing.
It's all down to you now, mate. For real?
Nice one. < Do not obstruct council workers.
Do not obstruct council workers.
It didn't take them long.
Come on, mate.
SHOUTING
Why are you leaving, what's going on?
Got no choice. But that's not fair! You've only been here two minutes.
That's the way it happens sometimes. I don't want you to go, Kyle!
Are you ever going to come back?
Here.
Have this.
Kyle, please don't go.
Kyle, don't go, please. Kyle?
Do not obstruct council workers.
Get your hands off me. Get off!
What's going on? We've been given our marching orders. They can't do that.
They can. That's why we move around so much.
You've only just got here! Let me put a phone call in to the council.
It was a phone call to them that did it.
It's all right. We're used to it.
We'd better get going. See ya, sir.
Shame. I kinda liked this place.
Hey, what do you two think you're doing? These are people's homes!
They would have done well here. You can't win 'em all, Eddie.
Philip, you're 16, this is not a competition.
It is, and then once you do do it, it becomes about who can do it the most and who's the best.
Things happen when they happen.
Flick, come on. Is it true? You sold me, how could you?
He took the money! Why would you even offer?
It looks like you're about to make things a whole lot worse.
Just let me go, please. Tell me! I might be able to help!
