[AIarm beeps]
[Groans]
I hope you pressed the snooze button.
- Gotta get up.
- No. You're too uptight.
Come back to bed.
I wouId Iove to, but in case you've forgotten,
- I've got a very big day.
- ..big day!
No! PIease, not the piIIow!
You've asked for it now.
No! [GiggIes]
Passports. Tickets.
- Morning.
- We're off tonight.
And I can't wait.
- Mm.
- Oh!
- Do I need a shave?
- Er, yes.
- The George MichaeI Iook never worked for me.
- Thank God.
- And are you wearing this?
- ObviousIy.
Erm...
Do you know,
when you begged me to marry you and I agreed,
I didn't think I was going to get
my own personaI dresser.
It's a good job I'm prepared to make
the uItimate sacrifice.
My singIe status, the pub, the footie...
Get Iost. I'm the best thing that ever happened
to you. Now, go and have a shave.
Mum.
What is it?
Oh, Iove, this is aII rubbish.
You won't say that when you get Iocked up.
Two years for bigamy.
Ssh. It won't come to that.
- WeII, why won't it?
- Because I...I...
I probabIy won't even go through with it.
Look, aII I want is for a IittIe bit of time
on my own with Eddie away from schooI.
The wedding's not untiI
the end of the first week so...
- Are you going to teII him?
- Yeah. I've got to pick the right time.
Of course I'm gonna teII him.
I certainIy don't want him finding out
that I'm a... you know...
Trust me, Iove.
I got us into this mess. I'II get us out.
- I'm going to go use CIeaver's shower.
- No, he's got a boxing match.
He'II catch you.
No chance, mate. The phantom showerer
strikes again! I've used haIf his shampoo, man!
You're earIy birds. I'm impressed.
We're just sorting some stuff out.
You know, for the cheerIeaders, for the boxing.
WeII, it Iooks Iike
I'm gonna be aII right for another day.
I'm pregnant, Donte,
and I'm not gonna have my baby in a tin can.
I want to go back to Tom's.
- ChIo, I can't. I can't face it.
- It's embarrassing for me an' aII.
We're just going to have to face facts.
We're just going to have to admit to everyone
that it aII went down the pan.
FIaming heII.
- Oh, my God.
- They've done it. They've kicked them out.
WeII, they can't have.
I don't think Warrant to Remove
means ''weIcome home'', does it?
WeII, does Rose know? I mean...
Oh, Tom. Don't go bIaming yourseIf.
- We aII know she was a pain in the backside.
- Yeah, was.
We don't know his capabiIities.
We'II make sure we put him in the right cIasses.
WeII, he's never been the best at concentrating,
have you, Iove?
But as Iong as he behaves himseIf.
Why don't you have a wander round.
Get used to the pIace.
It's gonna be aII right, you know.
Thanks.
DenziI, you shouId be proud of your mum.
She's achieved a Iot since you've been away.
[Sings Rocky Theme]
- Seen that, mate?
- Oh.
No way.
- So, are you feeIing the pressure, mate?
- Nah, I'm good.
Great.
What time did you get your head down
Iast night?
- About two.
- You was texting me at haIf three.
- Are you knackered?
- I'm fine, man. Come on.
Eh! Are you ready for the biggest day
in WaterIoo Road history?
The pIace is buzzing.
Oh, yeah, and BoIton SmiIie's fighting
for the UK championship tonight.
Thanks to you. I got to take my hat off to you.
Without your support I reckon BoIton
wouId've given up the ghost a Iong time ago.
- A bit Iike you and marriage.
- Ooh.
We appreciate you Iooking after PhiIip
whiIe we're away.
As Iong as he can Iive without
chicken nuggets and sateIIite TV.
- I'II eat anything.
- Hey.
MeI got us an upgrade at the hoteI Iast night.
Honeymoon suite. Champagne, caviar,
as much food as we can eat.
I'm going to come back
about three stone heavier.
Honeymoon suite? Fantastic.
It's going to be reaIIy speciaI.
Oh, reaIIy speciaI. Yeah.
Yeah, aII right. You can go now, Iove.
Is he OK?
- You'II get used to his ways. Won't she?
- Mm.
PIease don't teII me that's back on.
Love, you're in a different Ieague.
Don't waste time on this Iad.
Dad, get used to it. I Iove him, simpIe as.
See you Iater.
give it to me, give it to me
give it to me, give it to me
- Sorry, sir.
- You shouId've been here 20 minutes ago.
- What's the matter? Are you nervous?
- Yeah.
Good. Good. We need nerves, mate, yeah?
But not so they affect your performance.
You have to have this fight won in your head.
- If you doubt yourseIf, you'II Iose.
- I don't have any doubts.
- Are you sure about that?
- I'm ready.
If you think you're ready, you're not ready.
AII I'm seeing is nerves. When you step
into the ring, at that precise second,
that is when you've gotta convince yourseIf
that you are ready.
- I wiII be.
- Yeah, exactIy cos you are, mate.
You are the best young fighter in the UK, right?
- Yes?
- Yes, I hear you.
You've got the speed, you've got the agiIity,
you've got the strength. It's just that in there.
I'm never quite sure what's going on with you.
It's that in there that separates the great fighters
from the good fighters.
The next few hours are cruciaI. We've got to get
the timing spot-on. When you step in the ring...
That's when you just Iet it go, Iike, Iet it go.
Now then, do you remember Miss Koreshi?
Yeah?
- Jasmine.
- Hey, DenziI. It's good to see you.
Eh, you're the first to arrive.
Good, isn't it?
Oh, come on, DenziI. Don't Iook so worried.
It's gonna be OK. Let's find you a seat.
Tom, I was just wondering, wouId it be aII right
if me and Donte came round for dinner tonight?
Yeah, that's great. Sure. I'II get the beers in.
Or fruit juice, whatever.
- RacheI?
- Yes.
- I need to speak to you.
- OK.
[Taps on door]
Look, Iove...
The honeymoon suite,
that was just to keep Eddie happy.
Why do you need to do that? You saw
what he was Iike, Mum. He was Iike a big kid.
I've never seen anyone so excited.
Yeah, because he Ioves me and when
I teII him he'II understand, I promise.
You're not going to teII him, are you?
You did it to Dad
and you're going to do the same to Eddie
and when he finds out he's gonna Ieave us.
Which is great.
No, Iove. Look, I want to teII Eddie the truth -
with aII my heart I want to teII him,
and right now my pIan is for us to be on our own
so I can sit him down and expIain everything.
I certainIy don't want you worrying
about the probIems that I've created.
You're my number one priority. OK?
MarIey.
I'II come straight to the point.
I don't want you seeing FIick.
- Mr MeIIor...
- £5,000.
For you to finish with her for good.
The offer's a serious one.
Five grand?
Yeah, right. What? Just Iike that?
No, not just Iike that. Two and a haIf grand now,
and the rest when you finish with her.
You know, I'II give you one thing.
You've got a good sense of humour, mate.
FIick is my onIy daughter and I wiII do
everything I possibIy can to keep her safe.
- You think I'd harm her?
- I haven't got a probIem with you.
You've got a brother inside for m*rder, a mother
who doesn't give a toss what you aII get up to...
You know nothing about my mother, aII right?
And FIick...
WeII, FIick can make her own decisions.
No, she can't. Look, MarIey, I am wiIIing to pay
you and your famiIy a Iot of money.
And what's FIick gonna say
when I teII her you tried to bribe me?
I don't think you wiII.
I know you care about her.
You know what?
I'm gonna Iove proving you wrong.
I mean, reaIIy Iove it.
And you can guess where
you can stick your money.
Five grand.
You know my number.
EDDIE: Rob!
- Yeah.
- How's it going?
- Good.
- How's BoIton?
- He's great.
Listen, in case I don't get the chance,
congratuIations.
You've reaIIy done the schooI proud. I'm serious.
In over 20 years' teaching, nothing comes cIose
to the excitement generated by this fight.
UK champion...
- Eddie, he hasn't won anything yet so I...
- Like he's gonna Iose!
Good Iuck, mate.
How do you know? Who toId you?
I saw them this morning
boarding up the front door.
Happy now?
AII vaIuabIes and possessions have been
removed from the property. Where's our stuff?
- There's a number to...
- A number? A...number?
You've put my famiIy on the streets!
- CaIm down. Tom is trying to heIp you.
- HeIp? Don't make me throw up.
He's been phoning the counciI, signing petitions.
You wanted to get us kicked out.
I am not responsibIe for getting you evicted,
but I regret this and I want to heIp you.
I want to heIp your famiIy.
He'II take you to the housing association and
put a good word in for you. It is worth a shot.
Look, come on.
They'II cover for you in the kitchen.
WeII, staying round here
is not going to soIve the probIem, is it?
Ten years ago...
after my injury, I was... I was facing
the biggest chaIIenge of my career.
I'd Iost a Iot of confidence
and everything depended on this one race.
So I did the training and the preparation and...
it was a second before the start...
- What happened?
- I bottIed it.
I was focused on the prize
not the task ahead ahead of me.
For reaI? You bottIed it?
Do you see what I'm saying?
You are this cIose. You can smeII it.
The onIy thing that is stopping you is you.
I got two hours' sIeep Iast night.
This is the biggest moment of your Iife, man.
If you win, that is it - you got the Iot.
But if you Iose, it's no prospects.
I don't want that.
Great athIetes in any sport
aIways have nerves but they get heIp.
How do you mean?
WeII, they use science - perfectIy IegaI,
medicaI science.
Now these work by triggering the pituitary gIand
in the brain to reIease endorphins.
It's the chemicaI the body produces
when you exercise.
It's kind of Iike a naturaI pain reIief.
They'II heIp you with the concentration IeveIs.
They'II keep you caIm and focused.
You take two of these,
in 20 minutes you'II feeI different.
- 20 minutes?
- Trust me, man. You'II feeI invincibIe.
Hi. I'm Mrs NeIson - principaI housing officer.
You're Mrs KeIIy?
Hi. I'm Tom CIarkson. I'm a neighbour
and a teacher at WaterIoo Road SchooI
where Ms KeIIy works.
Right up front - I am so sorry
for aII the troubIe I've caused.
I know I've been a bad tenant.
Are you the same Mr CIarkson who signed this?
Yeah, I am but I'm here to teII you
that Rose's circumstances have totaIIy changed.
Ms KeIIy now has a job,
her kids are under controI.
AII the neighbours feeI the same way.
Ms KeIIy, I'm afraid once an eviction notice
has been served, there's nothing we can do.
I toId you.
WeII, there must be some way
of reversing the decision.
You received three written warnings
for anti-sociaI behaviour,
- none of which you responded to.
- Yeah, weII, I was busy, aII right?
With one son inside
and another up for m*rder.
I'm afraid it's a three strikes ruIe.
It's absoIuteIy non-negotiabIe.
So what wouId you advise we do now?
I'm not in a position to advise, Mr CIarkson.
I can give you information that wiII expIain
your rights and teII you where to get advice.
I don't need IeafIets.
I need somewhere where my kids can sIeep.
Rose.
Thank you. Come on.
See you aII tomorrow.
I've not known you for very Iong
but I know that you're not thick.
Everybody caIIs me that.
Do you know what? I am thick.
How about we get you some support?
Someone to heIp with your writing.
There's our Sam.
- Sam? I'm not sure she's...
- She aIways heIps me at home.
- I feeI good, man. Different.
- There you go.
See, aII we're doing is heIping you stay focused
on the task ahead.
You're ready, you step in that ring...
you don't fear anyone or anything.
Sir, you know when...erm...
- you know, you...
- When I bottIed it.
Yeah, that. How did you feeI and that, Iike?
- How was your coach and...
- He was an idiot.
He knew nothing about motivationaI skiIIs
or sports science.
Whereas, you on the other hand...
I'm gonna be honest with you, BoIton.
This means just as much to me
as it does to you.
ProbabIy even more.
WeII, sir, just so you know,
I'II never be standing in a doIe queue.
Bang!
Year 9 were demob happy this morning.
- Eddie and MeI's wedding card.
- Oh. Thank you.
I wish I was going to the Caribbean.
You wouIdn't get me on a pIane to the Caribbean
for a goId cIock.
Caravan again for you, GrantIy?
Mm. c*ck. Better than
any of those foreign pIaces by a miIe.
I'II give it six months.
Do you know something I don't?
Oh, come on, Matt. I've got a traveI-size tube of
toothpaste that's been going Ionger than them.
Courtship's not aII it's cracked up to be,
Stephanie.
Took me five years
to pop the question to my FIeur.
''FIeur, wiII you go out with me?''
Nervous wobbIe over. I wouId hate
to be on the receiving end of his fists.
That boy is pumped up something rotten.
Everybody, arrangements for this afternoon.
I'm Ieaving them here.
We'II cIose after Iunch.
So Iessons over for the term!
[Laughter]
Yeah, great,
and coaches wiII be here by then so...
WeII, it shouId be a great high to go out on,
shouIdn't it?
Rob, good Iuck. I'm sure BoIton wiII be briIIiant.
And then Iet's have a fantastic hoIiday.
Before we head back to our DVDs
and word searches,
Iunchtime, we're going to have
a drinks reception to bid bon voyage
- to our soon-to-be married coupIe, OK?
- Oh, gosh. What a surprise.
I never saw him as the settIing down,
married on a beach type. What's your secret?
No secret.
Just a good oId-fashioned Iove affair.
Aw, isn't that IoveIy? How's RacheI taking it?
- Taking it?
- WeII, you know what sisters are Iike.
I've not spoken to mine for 1 5 years.
She's been great about it.
She's been reaIIy supportive, hasn't she, Eddie?
Aw, good.
Come on.
They do make a nice coupIe.
I've changed my mind.
- ReaIIy?
- I'II give it six weeks.
You're going to have to go private.
That means raising some money.
- I haven't got any money.
- No, but your catering business has.
The business doesn't have any money.
We're starting out.
You're gonna have to get
emergency housing.
I'm not going into a B & B or a hosteI. No way.
WeII, then think about it.
- Candice wiII never go for it.
- You don't know that. Let's see what she says.
Right. If I muItipIy the number
on the card by four, the answer is 20.
What's the number on the card?
- What card?
- That card.
- I don't know my times tabIes.
- Just count up in fours.
Sam, it needs to be DenziI's work.
Just read the questions and write for him.
Is it... five?
One, two, three, four,
five, six, eight...seven...
Yeah. There you go. Now work out the totaI.
Which coIour is the Ieast IikeIy?
How many things on there?
How many on there?
[Low chatter]
- WeII done, DenziI.
- I hope I did aII right.
Yep. I'II mark it just now
and get back to you as soon as possibIe.
- Sam, can you take DenziI to his next Iesson?
- Yeah. Come on.
You'II get you through this, DenziI.
It's onIy your first day back.
Don't you worry about him, miss.
I'II sort him out.
It wouId onIy be for a few hundred. Just enough
for a deposit and a month in advance.
Look, I'm sorry, Mr CIarkson. It's a business Ioan.
We can't use it for personaI use.
Rose, you know I'd do anything I couId
to heIp you.
I can Iend you about 1 00 quid,
if you want, of my own.
No, Candice. Thanks for offering.
We'II sort something out.
[SchooI beII]
- You shouId get back.
Right. Take as Iong as you want, yeah?
Hiya.
We've been evicted, Iove.
- How...
- The baiIiffs came this morning after you Ieft.
How can they just throw a famiIy
in the street Iike that?
I know I've messed up and if saying sorry
a miIIion times wouId heIp, I'd say it.
Yeah, you're sorry now.
I'd do absoIuteIy anything
to turn the cIock back, Iove.
- You got what you wanted.
- It's not Mr CIarkson's fauIt. It's mine.
I just got so caught up with DenziI and EarI
and aII the crap...
So what happens now?
JASMINE: He's done aII right.
Average quantitative,
non-verbaI reasoning.
ExceIIent. You know, I can't beIieve
he's never been assessed for dysIexia.
I can arrange Iearning support.
Yeah, OK. Then give DenziI his resuIts.
And get a note around. I want the staff to be
prepared for when he comes back next term.
- Have you got time?
- Yeah. I'm on it.
OK.
Jasmine...
ReaIIy good work. WeII done.
Now watch this.
Eh, take it easy.
Aw, I'm dead excited for you.
Max wouId have Ioved to have been there
to see you win.
Yeah. WeII, when I do, I'II dedicate it to her.
- That's mint!
- I got a good feeIing about this, Jan.
No-one's gonna stop me from winning now.
I mean it.
[Door cIoses]
Cheer up. You're about to marry
the man you Iove.
WeII, it's onIy husband number two. No big deaI.
MeI, erm... I think that you shouId have this.
What? What is it?
Mum's neckIace?
RacheI...
WeII, I just thought you might Iike to wear it,
you know, on the beach.
- WeII, I wouId Iike you to have that.
- I can't beIieve it.
You've done so much for us aIready, what with
PhiIip and introducing me to Eddie. Thank you.
MeI, this is a big question, but I've got to ask it.
Are you sure that it's what you reaIIy want?
AbsoIuteIy, yes.
Good. I think he's gonna make you a great
husband. I know he Ioves you very much.
You're an amazing sister.
Hi, Mrs KeIIy.
We've got a bit of news for you.
- What is it?
- I've got...
- Anorexia?
- He's got dysIexia.
- So he's not thick Iike you've aIways said.
- I never said he was thick.
- What's happened?
- I've got a disease.
You've not got a disease, you muppet! It's just
that his brain's a bit messed up, innit, miss?
No, but identifying it does mean we can get him
heIp. It won't stop you doing weII at schooI.
He's not been screened yet
so it's not a hundred percent certain
but I'm pretty sure
that's what's been hoIding him back.
Oh, that's great news. WeII done, Iove.
And it means we can get our game pIan in pIace
at the beginning of next term.
So weII done.
- What's wrong, Mum?
- Oh, nothing, Iove.
- I'II see you when you get back.
- Come on.
Come here, you.
- So you won't change your mind about coming?
- No. I couIdn't bear to see him get hurt.
I'd probabIy end up in the ring myseIf.
[Cheering]
Good Iuck!
Eh, and give us a ring when you've won!
Do us proud. You get him!
- AII right, quiet.
- Go on, mate.
Eh, I don't normaIIy advocate vioIence
but...knock him out!
See you out there.
Come on, then.
[Buzz of chatter]
Hey!
Right.
It's time for the toast and presentation. RacheI?
- I'm doing it?
- Yeah.
- You said it was informaI.
- Just be gIad there's no karaoke machine.
OK. Erm...
I'm stuck for words.
Oh, just say something nice
and give us our present.
Something nice...
That's going to be tricky.
OK. WeII...
Erm...I couIdn't have a better deputy
and I couIdn't have a better sister.
And you're getting married, so that's fantastic!
- So here's to Eddie and MeIissa.
ALL: Cheers!
Thank you, everyone.
Word of advice, Edward,
after 20-something years of marriage.
Never go to bed on an argument.
Stay up and fight.
Here you are, sweetie.
- You Iook happy.
- Yeah, I am.
And don't worry about her.
I'm gonna make her happy too.
Oh, I'II make sure you do, don't worry.
CongratuIations.
Right. Now for the important stuff.
- What?
- Let's get to the boxing!
- Hey!
- Come on. Ooh!
EDDIE: I said ''go'' not ''do it''!
Quiet with those hooters, pIease.
Hooters quiet.
BO Y: Save us a seat, Jan, yeah?
- Come on, Iet's see a bit of enthusiasm.
- PhiI?
- See you down there.
- I think that's the Iot.
- Hey! We'II foIIow you.
- CooI.
That was cIose. Come on.
You aII right, mate?
Mum.
Right. Erm...
You Iook through those ones. I'II do these ones.
ObviousIy ignore the reaIIy expensive ones.
Then once we've circIed them,
we'II start phoning, yeah?
[Cheering]
[Cheering]
Come on, everybody.
[WhistIes bIown]
- Come on, BoIton!
- Come on, BoIton!
Go, BoIton!
What a briIIiant atmosphere. Come on, BoIton!
Here you are, Iove. Let's grab these two here.
- How are you feeIing?
- I'm aII right.
Are you nervous?
There's no pIace for nerves now. OK?
You need to snap out of it.
Sorry, sir. I wiII.
I think we need another IittIe boost, yeah?
Good.
Now...we conserve our energy.
SIow, deep breaths.
We focus our thoughts cos when you
step in that ring, nothing eIse matters, yes?
You're there to win, yeah?
[Cheering]
Wow. It's amazing, isn't it? What a vibe.
Yep, aII right. Rob's done a good job.
OK. Lots of whooping, yeah? Lots of noise.
We want to feeI reaIIy motivated.
It's quite an achievement getting him this far.
Thank you, Davina. ApoIogy accepted.
- Sir, can I go and see him?
- Yeah, OK. Five minutes, Janeece.
- Cheers.
- Just you, yeah?
I thought I was acting in BoIton's best interests.
I'm aIIowed to be wrong, aren't I?
- What you doing?
- Hi, Jan. You aII right, chick?
What are they?
Just stuff boxers take. CIeaver gave me them.
He caIIs them my focus piIIs.
They heIp me concentrate and that.
It's pretty sick. It reaIIy works.
- Are you aII right? You're sweating cobs.
- Yeah. I've just done my warm up, innit.
Right, I've gotta go.
- Good Iuck, yeah? And I'II see you out there.
- Thanks. I don't need it.
- Eh, miss.
- How's he doing?
He's aII right. WeII up for it. Mr CIeaver's
just given him some of them focus piIIs.
- Focus piIIs?
- Yeah, proper piIIs.
I'm sorry, Janeece, Mr CIeaver
gave him piIIs? WeII, what kind of piIIs?
- Are they from the doctor or what?
- No, I don't think so.
Just to heIp him concentrate on winning the fight.
[Cheering]
Come on, son!
You aII right, Iove?
Yeah, I'm just gonna go back
and get a better view.
Yeah. OK.
Hi.
MC: Ladies and gentIemen,
this is the 60 kiIogram finaI.
Our boxers are, in the red corner,
representing Camden Amateur Boxing CIub,
Johnny Heyes!
In the bIue corner,
representing RochdaIe Amateur Boxing CIub,
BoIton SmiIie!
Look at me. Look at me. Look at me.
You hear that?
Just do your timing and preparation.
This is your moment.
Now you're ready. OK? OK?
Now get out there. Do me proud.
[Chanting] BoIton! BoIton! BoIton!
BoIton! BoIton! BoIton!
Box.
Go on, BoIton!
Straight to the body.
Keep your guard up, BoIton.
Keep your guard up.
Deep, deep breaths.
Five, six,
seven, eight...
Jas. I've just found these in Rob's bag.
He's been giving them to BoIton.
- What are they?
- I don't know. They couId be anything.
And they couId be compIeteIy harmIess.
- What's he doing giving him piIIs?
- SuppIements? I reaIIy don't know.
BoIton toId Janeece
they were to heIp him keep focused.
He must be giving them to him
to boost his performance.
Steroids? No way.
The thing is we don't know, do we?
AII right. Sit down.
You...
Look, Iet's not jump to concIusions.
Jas, I think this is serious.
You need to do something.
You keep dropping your hands. You've got to get
your jab away and then back up, aII right?
OK? You've got to keep throwing
but just pick your shots.
- PhiIip, are you OK?
- Yeah, I'm just a bit...
- Are you sure?
- Yeah, I'm fine. Yeah.
[BeII rings]
- Have you been giving these to BoIton?
- Where did you get them? From my bag?
- Davina found them. What are they?
- Vitamin piIIs. Can you put them back?
- They don't Iook Iike vitamin tabIets.
- Listen! PIease, you shouId be over there, OK?
This is not the time.
Go on, BoIton.
PhiIip, you don't Iook very weII.
I'm just gonna go outside, get some fresh air.
- Go on!
- Come on!
Finish him off! See that punch?
..six, seven...eight.
Box.
Hey, I think we need to get you seen to,
don't we? ShaII I get your mum?
I'm aII right, RacheI, honestIy.
I just need a gIass of water or something.
- Has something happened?
- No, I'm aII right, honestIy.
OK, I'II get you a drink.
Good Iad. Good punch.
[BeII rings]
[Cheering]
Come on, BoIton!
OK. OK. You've got this. You've got this.
I reckon you're ahead maybe two points.
OK. Now the Iast two. Let's do it.
- OK? Let's do it.
[BeII rings]
Get out the corner!
Move your feet. Move your feet, BoIton!
Move your feet!
That's it! That's it!
That's it!
Yes! Yes, BoIton!
[Cheering]
WeII done.
£400?
Have you got anything any cheaper?
Oh, aII right. No. Thanks. Cheers.
Everything's a fortune.
We're not gonna be abIe to get anything.
How much did you say we had again?
About 200.
Here, try this one.
That was the best punch I have ever seen, mate.
What a fighter. You've gone aII the way.
You've gone aII the way.
- Sir, Iook.
- OK, we can roII him now.
- Is he gonna be aII right?
- Just a precaution.
CongratuIations. I don't think anyone
was going to get in your way today.
- Are you gonna teII them or I wiII?
- Hey, keep your voice down. TeII them...
You don't know what you're taIking about.
That boy's been injured
and you've been giving BoIton these piIIs.
I toId you, they're vitamin tabIets.
- She's an EngIish teacher...
- Can I have a Iook at those, pIease?
What is going on? Why haven't they announced
him as the winner? We've got to go.
- Yeah.
- ToId you he'd do it.
- Come on!
- Why haven't they announced it?
I don't know. I'm going to go and find out.
- OK, we'II get the kids on...
- Yeah.
Listen, you go and see PhiIip. I'II sort this Iot out.
- What?
- What's up?
My passport. I can't find my passport.
You aren't serious? Oh, MeIissa!
[Sighs]
- Have I won the fight or what?
- HoId on.
We have to be satisfied
everything is above board.
- How's the other Iad? Is he OK?
- OfficiaIs onIy, sir.
Er, I'm Eddie Lawson,
deputy head WaterIoo Road.
How many of these did you take?
- It doesn't matter how many he took.
- I'm not asking you.
Six.
Why did he give them to you?
- He said they'd heIp me concentrate.
- Nothing wrong with that.
- Did he teII you they'd heIp you win?
- You are putting words into his mouth.
You don't have to answer that
if you don't want to, BoIton.
Er, yeah.
- Do you have any medicaI training, Mr CIeaver?
- So what's going on?
- Are they iIIegaI?
- Of course not. They're a heaIth product.
- So what happens now, Doctor?
- There'II be an investigation.
And we'II have a urine sampIe.
- WeII, have I won?
- It's your caII.
I think I've heard enough
to put this resuIt on hoId.
What? I won that fight, cIean out.
OK, everyone on the coach, pIease.
- I can't find my passport. It's not in my bag.
- Are you sure?
- Yes!
- Hey, don't panic. Did you Ieave it at home?
No. I don't know, maybe.
Look, go home, see if it's there.
I'II go to the schooI and Iook,
and meet you there.
- Come on, Iet's move it!
- We'II find it. Don't worry.
It's not the onIy thing to worry about.
- ResuIt's been postponed.
- What do you mean?
I mean there couId be something dodgy
about Rob's training methods.
- Rob, what have they said?
- This is Davina's personaI vendetta against me.
- What? She was worried about you.
- She can't stand to see me win at anything.
- PIease. You're gonna have to back me up.
- What have you done?
BoIton, can you wait on the coach, pIease?
- I'm going back with CIeaver.
CLEAVER: BoIton.
- There's been a mix-up here.
- A mix-up?
Davina, it's OK.
Can you and Matt get the kids on the coach?
Nothing happened. This is a joke.
OK, Iet's continue this back at schooI. Come on.
- PIease, Jas, you're going to have to heIp me.
- Jasmine, we're waiting.
Rob, I can onIy say what I know.
We've tried every one in here.
We can't afford these.
Can aIways knock on doors.
Mum, we'II have to get a hosteI.
One night and then sort something tomorrow.
No, I'm not having DenziI
going into one of those pIaces.
It's too Iike where he's been
for the Iast nine weeks.
OK. OK. You text our Sam. TeII her to meet you.
I'm going to be about an hour, OK?
- Why? Where are you going?
- I'm sorting it. AII right, Mum?
The Iad was struggIing. I couIdn't Iet him
go in the ring unIess he was ready.
His mind had gone. He was aII over the shop.
- So it was for BoIton's safety?
- Yes.
Look, I admit, it's not a method that you'd read
in a coaching manuaI but it worked.
You gave the boy a piII
and you toId him he was Superman.
That is not a method, Rob.
That is a breach of your duty of care.
After aII the effort you put in,
no-one's questioning your commitment but...
this was wrong, Rob, simpIe as that.
WeII, in my view, what you did
was at best a serious error of judgement.
[Sighs] When you get back next term,
and after the boxing authorities
have done their investigation,
you'II be facing discipIinary proceedings.
- UntiI then...
- What?
Why?
UntiI then, I'm suspending you
pending a fuII investigation.
AII I did was give the kid his five-a-day
in a tabIet, for God's sake.
- We've onIy got your word for that.
- It couId have been a jeIIy bean.
That's not the point.
I put everything into BoIton's preparation
and I never heard you compIain.
That's got nothing to do with it.
AII the kudos the schooI wouId have got,
wouIdn't you have given a jeIIy bean for that?
If you think that,
you don't know me or this schooI.
I won that fight. I won it fair and square.
Don't you mean BoIton won that fight, Rob?
You said nothing in there.
Just a bit of IoyaIty, a bit wouId've been nice.
And what was I going to say? RacheI's right.
You messed with a young boy's head
just to win a boxing match.
You know what this meant to me.
I know what winning means to you,
but what about BoIton?
Do you get what you've done here?
I said it wasn't the best decision I've ever made,
haven't I?
Have I?
You've been Iiving your Iife through this.
It's totaIIy consumed you.
I'm sorry it's such a disappointment
but that is me.
WeII, I don't Iike that me.
Jas. Jas, pIease.
I know I've Iet a Iot of peopIe down.
I'm sorry about that but whatever you think about
me you cannot think I'd put BoIton at risk.
ConsciousIy, no, but you put yourseIf
before your pupiI and that's unforgivabIe.
That's a bit strong, isn't it?
No.
I don't think so.
I need to go.
Jas...
Jas.
You and me are...
We're stiII OK, right?
No...
we're not OK.
[MobiIe rings]
MeI.
Look, don't panic.
Just get back to the schooI
and we'II retrace your steps, aII right?
Yeah. WeII, I reckon we've got
haIf an hour from when you get back here.
OK. I've got to go.
- I'II come and heIp.
- No, you stay and deaI with Rob's paperwork.
Any joy?
She's probabIy thrown it away or something.
It's a pity they're not going to a country
within the EU.
They couId have used any form of photo ID.
She suspended him.
Oh. Jas, come here.
I'm so sorry.
That's one way to end a reIationship, isn't it?
Look,
why don't you come round to ours tonight, eh?
We can have a good girIie chat
and sIag him off properIy.
No. I'II be OK.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah, honestIy.
Erm...someone Ieft this on the coach.
We need to try and find Rose.
ShouId I go and get us something
from the chippy?
Pudding, mushy peas, chips and gravy?
I'm not even that hungry.
Know what? No matter what anybody says,
you won that fight. Do you hear me?
That's it, Jan, man. No more boxing.
To teII you the truth I didn't even Iike
the feeIing when that kid was Iaid out.
It's aII there.
Count it if you want.
Just so we're absoIuteIy cIear -
you taking this money
means you keep weII away from my daughter.
PhiIip, your mum and Eddie are about
to miss out the hoIiday of a Iifetime.
So I am going to ask you one more time,
do you know where the passport is?
[Sniffs]
What's wrong? What's happened?
I promised I wouIdn't say anything but...
I don't think it's fair on Eddie.
Sorry, you're not making any sense.
Mum's stiII married.
- What?
- ActuaIIy, she's married to two men.
My dad and some other bIoke.
She married my dad
when she was stiII with her first husband.
No. Sorry, you're wrong.
She toId me she got divorced.
She Iied.
She never went through with it.
- It's true, Rach.
- Oh, PhiIip.
Did you have it
when you Ieft the house this morning?
MeIissa? Did you have it this morning?
Oh! Check-in cIoses in about an hour.
Just think.
Just think.
Is this what you're Iooking for?
Oh, RacheI! HaIIeIujah!
Thank you. Thank you, thank you.
Where did you find it?
ActuaIIy, it doesn't matter. Come on, MeI.
Eddie, can I have a word
with MeIissa in private, pIease?
Oh. We're Iate enough as it is.
We're onIy just going to scrape by.
- Eddie's right. I'II caII you from the airport, Rach.
- Now, MeIissa.
- I'm sorry. We're going to miss our fIight.
- Why did you do it?
Why?
If you're not going to teII me,
at Ieast teII him the truth.
TeII me what?
Oh, for God's sake, what is this? Are you iII?
Have you m*rder*d someone or something?
- Er... I'm married.
- Yeah, right!
I'm stiII married, Eddie,
to PhiIip's dad and to my first husband.
- Is this a joke?
- No, it's not.
This is some sort of sister wind-up, right?
It sounds pretty sordid, Eddie,
but I can assure you it isn't.
MeI, why didn't you say anything?
I wish I had. I reaIIy wish I had.
WeII, this is the first pIace we shouId've Iooked.
- Mr CIarkson.
- I thought you'd wait at schooI.
We're waiting for MarIey.
Right, weII, we'II get you some food,
you're staying at ours. No arguments.
- What about MarIey?
- We'II keep an eye out for him.
Come on.
I married at 1 8. It was a disaster.
Three weeks Iater I had to Ieave. I was just too
scared and embarrassed to teII anyone.
Then when PhiIip's dad Ieft,
I couIdn't fiIe for a divorce.
You can't expect a kid
to carry that kind of secret around.
- I mean he aImost passed out at the boxing.
- I can't beIieve he knew aII this time. Poor kid.
That IeveI of deception takes some doing.
You Iooked me right in the eye
and Iied to me about everything.
Never mind me. What about poor Eddie?
You're supposed to Iove him, MeI.
I know, I know.
RacheI!
I was going to teII you.
I was going to teII both of you, honestIy.
When?
Were you going to add it on after the ''I do''?
Sir.
BoIton, I Iet you down, mate.
Yeah, you did. Not just me, though.
But you showed me a few things aIong the way,
heIped me get my head sorted.
I mean, this isn't going to be the end
of your career.
Next year you're gonna be stronger,
you're gonna be bigger.
There's not gonna be a career.
That's it. I'm quitting.
- I'm done.
- BoIton, you couId be a professionaI boxer easy.
Easy.
You have made me Iook Iike an absoIute idiot!
- You're a Iong way from that.
- I feeI so stupid.
How couId you keep
such a huge secret from me?
What did you think I wouId do?
Run to the coppers?
I thought you'd run a miIe if you knew the truth.
I wanted it to work for us.
To work?
What was our marriage to be based on then?
Hm? Truth, IawfuI impediment?
Pretty fundamentaI issues here, MeI.
We're great together, Eddie. I Iove you.
- You can trust me on that.
- I can't Iisten to any more Iies.
OK! Look, I know that I was wrong.
But I'm not the onIy one who's been Iying here,
am I, Eddie?
What about RacheI?
You're in Iove with her. Or you were in Iove
with her. You didn't teII me that.
Don't you dare!
Don't you try and turn that round on me.
This has got nothing to do with me!
RacheI and I are fond of each other
but for you to impIy...
You don't need to expIain yourseIf, Eddie!
I know, I know you probabIy did Iove RacheI
but I...I just...
I just...I just thought you Ioved me as weII.
I d... I did!
WeII...
It's out in the open now. I'II go to the poIice.
You'II go to prison?
I'II take that chance.
Eddie, I want to marry you
more than anything in the worId...
but you're gonna have to choose.
Choose?
WeII, if I'm going to be open, you need to be too.
I know you and RacheI feeI for each other.
I know you do.
It's me or her.
- Tom.
- What?
- I forgot you were coming.
- We Iet ourseIves in.
- ChIo.
- Look, we've given the fIat up.
- What? What do you mean?
- We've been Iiving in the van.
We're skint, Tom, and we can't afford it.
I know it's not our pIace to ask
but can we stay here?
Of course you can. That's not a probIem.
AII right?
You've aIready got a housefuI. We can't do this.
Don't be daft. Come on. There's Ioads of room.
Rose, you're staying, no arguments.
Come on. Come through.
This is your home. You and Richard Branson
can stay as Iong as you Iike.
I didn't want to meet you at your house.
- Is there a probIem?
- Yeah.
I don't think this is ever gonna work out -
me and you.
What?
Cos of my dad?
Forget him. He's got nothing to do with it.
It's not him, FIick.
I just don't think we can...
Look, what I'm trying to say...
is that we spIit up once before
and then with your dad and everything,
there's every chance it couId happen again.
- MarIey, what's happened?
- Nothing.
Nothing's happened.
So what are you saying?
That's it? We're finished?
- Yeah.
- I don't beIieve you.
Something's happened. TeII me.
FIick, I said no. AII right?
I don't fancy you.
I don't want to go out with you.
RacheI.
