And the blackmail? I wouldn't
have done it if I didn't have to.
I just needed to know
that my bid was on the table.
I'll destroy any evidence that Tess has.
No, better still - I'll give it to you.
It's all there, a man of my word.
Thank you.
KNOCK ON DOOR
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realise
you'd got company.
No, you're fine. Rachel and I
are just about done, I think.
Hello, Wilson Bingham - replacement
supply, covering Miss Koreshi's class.
♪ In the morning
♪ You know
you won't remember a thing... ♪
Oi, not in the car park!
Morning. Morning.
You look like this is your last day.
Yeah, I'm going to miss the place.
You got anything lined up? Nah.
A couple of days off,
then offer my services again.
I'm sure if something came up here
you'd be in with a chance.
I prefer the love 'em
and leave 'em approach.
Yuk. Exactly.
We've stopped eating meat.
Well, I'm more of a pescetarian,
actually. I eat fish.
Ah, Waterloo Road's new car share
scheme up and running.
Cutting your carbon emissions...
Don't think me getting a lift is a reaction
to some half-wit's criminal behaviour.
In one week you've prevented 50
kilograms of CO2 going into the atmosphere.
Just count to ten.
Janeece, you are doing my head in.
Why don't you just tell us
who this lad you're seeing is?
I wouldn't exactly call him
a lad - he's a bit older.
Have you been with him?
Just because you're going to get buried
in a Y-shaped coffin, it don't mean I am.
It's nothing like that.
It's special.
Oh, my God!
You don't love him, do you?
HE SIGHS
The governors' AGM?
Which pupils are involved?
OK, we have Aleesha Dillon
and Danielle Harker.
No, no, not them. Not those two.
Those two have got a lot to learn about
community spirit. I really need them involved.
And we have Bolton Smilie,
Paul Langley... You know,
the lessons for life group.
You want me to produce this with that
lot. No, you've got to be joking.
Grantly...
You're my last hope and you'll be
doing a personal favour for me.
Mornin'.
Jasmine's Speaking And Listening
coursework. It's not bad.
What, you've marked it already?
Yeah, it wasn't a big job.
Wilson, mate! Hey, Eddie,
have you seen this? What?
He's marked all Jas's coursework.
You want to sign this player up.
Yeah, great. Super, smashing, that.
Thank you, Jim Bowen!
Eh! Here she is, all refreshed
and raring to go?
Oh, definitely.
After your week's "leave"?
Oh, Jas, this is Wilson. Hi.
- Hiya.
- He took over most of your classes while you were, erm, away.
Yeah, and he's up-to-date
with all your marking.
What, seriously?
Yeah, it's not a problem.
You've got a nice group there.
I just don't get it myself.
What? Wilson and his inexhaustible
supply of drooling females.
I think there's going to be a few
broken hearts in the sixth form
after today. Peril of the job.
Even little Janeece
has been attentive in lessons.
Really? Yeah. Mind you, I don't
think it would do her any harm
to have an educational relationship
with an older man. You are joking?
Not with a teacher, obviously,
because that would be an abuse of trust.
- If they'd had that in my day, half the teachers
in my school - would have been locked up.
Janeece... what did we say?
But it's your last day today, innit?
They can't say anything now?
It's that book, remember?
The one that we saw. D'you like it?
Yeah. I mean... It's perfect.
It's got all the best dinosaur
sites in it. It even mentions
that place we're going to go to.
Janeece! Yeah, it's my last day,
but I could still get struck off.
Is that what you want?
No, of course not.
How many cards and texts
have you sent me?
Six cards and 23 texts.
Right, enough! Let's just get through
today, but I need you to keep quiet.
It's just a couple of hours and then...
I've got a bit of a surprise for you later.
What? Go on, I'll see you in a bit.
Ahem!
Don't I get a kiss goodbye?
Did you get out of the wrong side
of bed this morning?
What exactly do you mean by that?
Oh, come on, Eddie, I'm joking.
Yeah, well, I'm not laughing.
What's wrong? You've been a pain
in the butt all week. What is it?
I know.
What do you know?
I know about your past, Rachel.
Amanda. Whatever your name is.
Who'd have thought it, eh?
Our fine upstanding head teacher
was once a prost*tute.
Eddie, where are you going?
I thought you had principles.
Got your new build all boxed off
with your mate Stuart Hordley,
if that's his real name.
Nice little carve up.
- Janeece's imaginary boyfriend...
- Get stuffed, Maxine!
At least he's not scraping plates
and wiping tables.
He's on 25 grand a year. 25G?
Not a bad wedge that, Jan.
Hey, you can't tell anyone
till after school.
I'm going out with Mr Bingham.
The supply teacher?
Yeah. Oh, Chlo, he's gorgeous.
We're getting engaged after I've
picked my ring out and everything.
Diamond on white gold.
Janeece, he's a teacher.
I know, yeah! Can you believe it?
Me, going out with a teacher.
You can't go out with your teacher.
I can. I'm nearly 17 now -
do what I want.
At quarter past three when we leave here,
he's not going to be my teacher no more.
He still taught you, didn't he?
Well, we haven't, you know...
What, don't you believe me?
So, does he feel
the same about you?
He loves me. He says I'm dead funny.
He always goes on about my hair.
He's into fossils, dinosaurs...
He knows everything.
Janeece, teachers don't go out
with their pupils. It's just wrong.
I've never been out
with no-one before, Chlo.
Mum said the only man I'd get
to keep is one with a white stick.
He must be about 30.
No, he's nearly 27.
His birthday's a week before mine.
This is it, Chlo. I'm serious.
I'm in love.
BELL RINGS
Stuart Hordley and I are not mates
or cronies or anything like that.
Eddie?
Then what was he doing handing that
file to you? Being public spirited?
His secretary used to know me,
before I went into teaching.
He was doing me a favour.
I don't believe you.
Well, that's your choice.
How long have you known?
Does it matter? I know.
That's problem enough.
It was a very long time ago. No.
It's now. It's yesterday.
It's this term.
So many lies, Rachel.
I don't know you.
I've got a past I'm not proud of.
What's wrong with wanting
to put that behind me?
I was 17
and things were bad at home
and I got the offer...
of making a thousand quid a week.
And it took me two years
to get out of that.
And the only route out was to get myself
an education and that is why I'm here.
It'll get out, Rachel.
It always does.
Imagine the headlines.
Can't we just focus on the here
and the now? Oh, for God's sake!
If Stuart Hordley's secretary knows,
how long before everybody knows?
Why does that bother you?
I'm worried about the potential
damage to this school.
I can't stand the fact
that you and Stuart Hordley...
..that he knows about you
and he got the contract.
For the record,
Stuart Hordley's bid
was miles better than anyone else
and it is as simple as that.
This is so embarrassing.
Why's Mason making us do this?
Don't you want to be
a good citizen?
No. I don't want to be here
any more than you do.
Food Tech, whatever next?
Right, and don't even think about
messing me about today
because you know what to expect...
if you do.
Today, you lot are somehow going to
create a feast for the governors.
Right, ears open, gobs shut.
Two teams, sweets and savouries.
Right, savouries -
that's you, erm, you and you.
Sweets...
Bolton and Paul...
Look, in other words,
those with half a brain there.
Those with less, over there.
Move!
Are you serious?
Goat's cheese tartlet, chickpea...
I don't even know what that says.
Falafel. Falafel.
Sir, can we just pick this lot up
from the supermarket? No.
That would defeat the object.
Anyway, you've got the hard part.
A, you're not thick
and B, I trust you with knives.
So prepare the vegetables,
roast the chicken and dice it.
What are the thickies doing?
They are making a chocolate cake
under my supervision.
- We don't want to be here
- and we can't make a chocolate cake?
I've already told you.
So we're doing the boring stuff
cos they're a bunch of pea-brains?
That is, like, so unfair.
Who said life was fair?
Get on with it.
Hey, you know what happens when
you put a load of this in cake mix?
Every kind of composition needs to be
planned cos we can't expect the examiner
to follow our short stories or essays
unless we know where we're going ourselves.
I know where I'm going. First
you gather your material together.
- Away with him. You make a plan...
- Get real, Janeece.
What exactly do I want to say?
I mean it. How do I say it?
And you keep the important stuff
and you throw away the crap.
Janeece! Janeece!
Do you remember the trouble that Stacey got herself
into? Not to mention the grief she caused Tom.
Do you want me to go and find Eddie?
No, come on, let's just get started.
What, without him? Does anyone think
that he's been acting really funny lately?
Earlier he said he didn't even
want Stuart Hordley to work here.
DOOR OPENS
Oh. We've got a very busy day,
what with the governors' AGM.
I presume you're gonna, erm, talk
them through the new staff structure?
Yeah.
I'm looking forward
to the kids' buffet.
Well, we've got Grantly in there
keeping them in check.
Tom, if we get the green light
with the new staff structure,
I've heard Wilson's
done a great job.
Do you think he'd be interested
in a permanent post?
Dunno, really. I mean,
he has been amazing.
Should be in the running for
Supply Teacher of the Year award.
You're really coming on, Janeece.
We'll get a C grade out of you yet.
BELL RINGS
I want you to study the notes
very carefully, OK?
Well good, mate. I think your
girlfriend should be pleased with that.
Janeece, can you give me a hand with the
books to the store cupboard, please? Yeah.
Thank you, yeah. Cheers.
We'll meet up after the AGM.
Rachel, can I have a word, please?
Now you've got something to say?
You made that meeting
uncomfortable for everybody.
- Yeah, well, I feel a bit out of the loop
here - you're going to - have to bear with me.
I need to know, why did Hordley pass
that information to you. I told you.
Yeah, he did you a favour. Why?
You'll have to ask him that.
Oh, Eddie, let's just leave it,
yeah? The bid's been accepted.
Stuart is going to build us
a fantastic new building.
He is as passionate
about it as we are.
We are supposed to be focusing on
the kids. I am focusing on the kids.
This is not about Stuart Hordley,
yeah? He's going to come through
on this project.
Yeah? How are you going to
ensure that? Sleep with him?
She says
they're going out together.
You can take what Janeece says
with a barrowload of salt.
I've never seen her
like this before.
It only took Stacey
a couple of seconds
to get into your bed, didn't it?
It's a good job it's his last day.
He'll be glad
to see the back of her!
Back to class, break's over.
Listen, I need you to know
I didn't sleep with Hordley.
Get that hat off!
I'll ask him, shall I?
He knows about you,
you've got nothing to hide.
It's none of your business.
Anything to do with this school
is my business. Pack it in!
Look, he won that contract
fair and square.
So you won't mind me going to
see him, then. Get rid of that gum!
Now, the trick here is to make sure
that all the air is expelled from the bag.
I can't get this chocolate to melt
right, it keeps going all funny.
Sir, do we stir it
on the heat or what?
Look, just a minute. I've only
got one pair of hands... Oh, here.
No, you got the heat too high,
turn it down, come on.
Keep stirring.
Will you pay attention?
Paul, can you pour that mix
into the tin, please,
and put it in the oven,
gas mark seven.
Miss, it's nice to have you back.
Doesn't look like it.
I'm not saying you're not a good
teacher, it's just Mr Bingham's...
Better? Not in every way.
You don't need to spare my feelings,
I've got my favourite pupils too.
But, look, I'll let him know
he's got a wee admirer, shall I?
You've made quite an impression
on Janeece Bryant.
Yeah, well, she's worked really hard. I
think she's got a good chance of getting a C.
Great. Well, you know, when the
results come out, I'll take the credit.
Erm, do you fancy a drink
after school?
You know, just to say thanks.
I'm buying.
I'm sorry, I've got something on.
I just can't get out of it.
Hey, don't worry about it,
it's nothing major.
Next time, though, yeah? For sure,
yeah. I'm hoping to come back.
Mmm. I think Janeece
might have a bit of competition.
Yeah, well, Chlo reckons she's stalking him.
Knows where he lives, birthdays, all sorts.
I think someone should have a word.
Me, you mean? Listen,
Janeece is as daft as a doughnut.
So what if she's got
a little fantasy for him?
Anyway, you'd better get used to it.
Girls like older men, it's a fact.
Mind you, I don't think Grantly's
got much to worry about.
Oh, go on, then - hand it over
to an experienced professional.
I'll talk to her.
Look, if you don't want to...
Tell him to hire a stun g*n.
Should keep her at arm's length.
Tom, I think you're over-reacting.
Better to be safe.
Elbow grease is what you need.
Is it forming peaks, yet? No.
How long's the cake got?
a shout when it's ready.
Shout what? "It's ready".
Look, look! Look what's happening!
Ah!
LAUGHTER
Tell her. So Chlo, any quicker way of
doing these irregular verbs or what?
Ask Celine.
She seems to know everything.
Go on, tell her.
What is it, Donte?
Erm... well, my dad says that maybe I should
be thinking about getting a solicitor and that.
You know, for the divorce.
Right, yeah.
I'm not saying we have to, like.
No, no, it's probably for the best.
Right. I'll get him
to look into it, then.
Yeah. Yeah, you should.
JANEECE GASPS
What is up with Janeece?
She's been reading that essay
about 50 times, at least.
The lot of you get back
to what you were doing,
and get this mess cleaned up!
What? Are you blaming us?
We didn't put that in.
We were doing the savouries and
they were doing the chocolate cake.
You were quite clear about that.
They must have got the recipe
wrong or something.
It weren't our fault!
You and I both know what happened.
Punishment will be brutal.
I suppose you want us to
go to the cooler now, Sir?
Oh, no! Oh, no, no, no.
No, that would be the easy option.
You wait here.
Retribution is coming your way.
Quiet!
Everybody stay put. Nobody move!
Can we go for a break now, Sir? No!
Oh, I was just coming to see how
it's all going. Is everything OK?
It's going great, yeah.
Oh, good. I was just singing your
praises to the chair of governors.
He can't believe it. You know
he's got a restaurant in town?
He has and he's just offered a slap-up meal to
the person who makes the best dish. Oh, really?
I just want to say
that I am really impressed
with the way you've been handling
things recently.
I've had my doubts about your levels of commitment,
but I'm pleased you are proving me wrong.
Perhaps I'm getting
second wind in my old age.
Look, we're up to our eyes in it
at the moment, Rachel,
and I've got to get back. Can I give you
a shout when things are a bit less hectic?
Oh, absolutely.
Oh, my God, Wilson, I can't believe
it. It's amazing - a hotel, tonight?
I know, it's all sorted - flash
hotel, slap-up meal, the works.
I've never had a real boyfriend before
and now I'm going to a posh hotel with you.
Oi, lessons, now.
Erm, have you seen Maxine,
Janeece? No.
I'm just giving Janeece a bit of
help with her poetry assignment.
OK, I'll check the computer room.
You need to be a bit more concise,
think about your use of adjectives.
You're getting there, Janeece.
Yeah, I've just remembered, I need
a quick word with Mr Bingham.
Thank you, Janeece.
See you later, Sir... Miss.
I, erm... I think
it would be a good idea
if you stayed away from Janeece
for the rest of the day.
Is this connected to
your role in finance?
No, it's connected to me having
known Janeece since she was this high.
What exactly is the problem?
The problem is, I didn't like
what I saw just now.
And what was that?
You and Janeece.
I know there's something going on.
What, you're accusing me of...
What, with Janeece?
Look, Wilson, I know what I saw.
So just stay away. I forgot,
we're still in the dark ages.
I give help to an A-level student and the next
thing I'm being accused of something pretty sordid.
Let's just look on it as self-protection,
hey? For you and Janeece.
I hope Janeece appreciates your concern. You
know, she's making really big improvements.
Which is all down to you,
of course.
Well, why are we even having
this conversation?
I mean, what does it matter? In about two hours'
time, Janeece isn't going to be my pupil any more.
I don't think that Rachel Mason
would take too kindly
to one of her supply teachers having an
inappropriate relationship with a sixth former.
Steph, you have
a very vivid imagination.
If this food isn't ready
for Miss Mason and the governors,
there's be going to be
all hell to pay.
Why? It weren't our fault.
Yeah, we've done nothing wrong.
You think she'll see it like that?
It was those two, they got us
into this mess, right?
They ruined your cake. Are you just going
to let them drop you in the mire? Nah! Nah.
..That's what they think.
"Snobby gets" was the exact phrase.
They are determined to show you up
in front of Miss Mason.
Now, the question remains -
can you show them how it's done?
Hey? Yes.
Yes. Have you got
the beating of them?
Yeah. Yes!
..Shouts to Banquo,
"You're doing my head in!" Jasmine?
Erm, listen, about that drink.
Do you fancy doing something
this weekend?
Er, I'll leave you to it.
Yeah, that'd be nice.
I know it's a bit pretentious,
but that's my number.
Consultant?
I like to do a bit of supply now and then
to keep me in touch with what's going on.
But I do have a social life.
If we could meet up... Great.
..I'd really like to.
Yeah.
Right, come on, you lot -
open your books.
You accused him of having
a thing with Janeece?
There's something going on, Tom.
They were just embarrassed
when I went in. I'm not surprised.
That's what stupid little girls like
Janeece do. They're on at you non-stop.
It starts with,
"I like your tie, sir".
Then they're trying to
climb into bed with you.
I've been there, remember?
I think they were kissing.
Don't be daft! What, you saw them?
I'm going to have a word
with Janeece.
Anyway, what happened to all this
educational relationship stuff?
I don't know. I know what I said
but I didn't like what I saw,
it just seems wrong.
And he's... he's just... ugh!
Even the B team have pulled it out
of the bag. Well done, both of you.
Excellent, Karla. Even you, Bolton.
Oh, chocolat!
Look at that.
Superb.
I'm helping Janeece with her coursework.
What do you want me to do, teach in cage?
Listen, mate, everybody knows
Janeece - she's gone a bit loopy on you.
I thought that was what teaching
was about, firing kids' enthusiasm?
Well, I'm just warning you. The
same thing happened to me last year.
Look, I'd better go. If I were you,
just go and talk to Rachel.
Tell her what Steph's said,
get it all out in the open.
Yeah, yeah, I will. Thanks.
Do you want me to have a word?
No, I'll do it. Cheers, mate.
Nigel, welcome. Hello.
This way, please.
Well done, everyone.
It looks really, really good.
ALL: Thank you.
Right, lady, I'll take that.
No, Miss, I'll turn it off.
Well, keep it off. I didn't like what I
saw in Mr Bingham's room this morning.
What d'you mean?
Janeece, I saw you... together.
Looked just a little bit too cosy for my liking.
I mean, if I hadn't come in when I did...
We've not done nothing.
That's how it's going to stay.
You're with me this lunchtime.
Oh, no.
You've got a lot to learn, but he isn't
the one to teach you. My room, lunchtime.
BELL RINGS
MOBILE PHONE BEEPS
Have you tried the chickpea falafel?
The goat's cheese tartlets?
Everything is superb. The pupils
really have surpassed themselves.
It's amazing what can be achieved
given the right leadership.
Rachel mentioned something about a complimentary
meal for two. Does that include drink?
Yeah, yeah. D'you know,
I might have to just try...
Oh, please. Allow me, Nigel.
I'll get you a nice big slice.
The piece de resistance.
Mmm.
This has to be the best cake
I've ever tasted.
Mmm. Who made it?
Nigel, it's rather awkward,
I don't like to brag,
but I'm a bit of a whiz with the old
cakes, and I was only too happy to step in.
You made this?
Decorated it so beautifully. You
deserve a medal, keeping this lot
in line and rustling this up.
You certainly deserve a night off.
Coming tonight?
How very kind. There are people
there with empty plates
while you're there
catching flies. Chop-chop.
Well? Well, I haven't contacted him
yet but I've done a bit of digging.
Look, Eddie, can you just deal with
it, yeah? I had a past. It's over.
Now can we just move on?
I think this guy would stoop
very low to get what he wants.
And that includes blackmailing you.
Blackmail? Eddie that is so far
from the truth it is laughable.
Do you know how I can tell
you're lying. Your lips are moving.
MOBILE PHONE BUZZES
Miss, I feel a bit poorly.
Is there any chance if...?
Yeah, sure.
Listen, we can't. Not here.
Where, then? Let's go to Manchester.
What about school?
I'm free all afternoon.
Promise not to tell if you won't.
Oh, mint!
God, I've got no clothes.
There are loads of shops there.
You can have anything you want.
- What're you doing? I'm texting Maxine. She'll
never believe - I'm going to a posh hotel.
Switch it off. Give it here.
We don't want anyone contacting us,
do we? Spoil the excitement.
You're beautiful, Janeece,
you know that?
ENGINE STARTS
You're not seriously suggesting
he's up to something?
Janeece didn't turn up
for detention. Then now...
I'm going to see if I can find him.
- Where's Wilson?
- Why are you looking for him?
I had a look at the coursework that he marked and
he gave Janeece a B. It's nowhere near that good.
I wouldn't have even given it an E.
Hi, sorry. Can I just have
a quick word with Janeece?
It'll just take a couple of minutes.
I think she's gone off
with her new boyfriend.
All right. Does anybody
really know where she's gone?
What's that about?
Erm, excuse me, have you got time
for a quick word?
Well, only if it's about the cash
you've raised.
..Come on.
I can't believe I'm wearing
a dress that cost £400.
You look stunning. I could have gone
to Magaluf for all that this cost.
Right, then, shall we go
and check in to our hotel?
I can't wait.
I wish Maxine and them lot
could see us now.
OK, Tom, can you get
Wilson's classes covered?
Yeah. But don't you think we're
getting a bit carried away here?
No, he's obviously been
grooming her since he got here.
You don't know that.
He's been giving her good grades...
Tell Rachel what Jasmine told you.
Steph...
Eddie, anything?
Number not recognised.
I've got a bad feeling about this.
Hello, Mrs Bryant, it's
Rachel Mason from Waterloo Road.
Well, Janeece hasn't been
in her lesson this afternoon.
Right, well, when she gets in,
can you get her to give me a call?
Thank you. That is unbelievable!
That woman doesn't give
a monkey's - her own mother.
OK, Eddie, get in touch with the supply agency.
I want Wilson Bingham's details faxed over.
Steph, erm, Chlo and Maxine -
they've got to know something.
I am going to talk to the local community police
officer. Shouldn't we call the proper police?
Janeece is 17 in two weeks,
he's a bloke, who...
what, in about an hour,
doesn't work for us any more.
I don't think
they're gonna be interested.
Ah, it's brilliant. Yeah.
Aren't they going to ask
where our bags are?
No. We won't need anything.
Oh, it's gorgeous.
Come on,
we'll come back here later.
Oh, this is amazing!
Oh, champagne!
CAMERA CLICKS
What you doing?
Just taking a few photos.
You're so gorgeous.
Come on.
SHE GIGGLES
This is gonna be so good.
Tom, I just wish you'd both come
to me sooner about this. What is it?
Wilson Bingham, aged 34.
PGCE, Manchester College, 2002.
Oh, God.
Police.
Keep texting and phoning. You might get her,
and if you do, let me know straight away.
I'm going to give her
so much grief! He must be about 40!
This is not a joke.
If she phones you or gets in touch,
you let us know right away.
All right, Tom, we will. Look, I
mean it, Chlo. Is Janeece all right?
I'm sure she'll be fine,
just keep texting her, go on.
What is it?
I can't wait until Maxine and that
find out I'm going out with a teacher.
Who said anything about us
going out? But I thought...
I can't go out with you, Janeece.
I'm married.
Yeah, but you said
you was getting a divorce.
Didn't you? Yeah, I did, but...
these things take time.
But you are going to tell her,
aren't you?
Aren't you?
How did he manage to get away with
it, with all the checks they do?
It seems quite easy to hide
your real identity these days.
Don't you compare me to this guy.
No? Lies, deceit, blackmail -
is there a difference?
Look, I'll handle the governors,
you'll have to tell
Mrs Bryant what's happened.
Maxine and Chlo
don't know anything.
OK, can you two stay and help
Eddie out when the police come?
I thought we were gonna be
a proper couple.
We were a proper couple.
We had a great time. No harm done.
Hey...
Look, you got what you wanted.
I'll nip to the car and pick up your
school clothes. I won't be a tick.

Hiya. Is Tom back?
Have you heard about Janeece?
She's run off with Mr Bingham.
What? Doesn't surprise me.
Oh, not Janeece. God, no.
Bingham. He looks the type.
Type for what?
Well, you know,
the type to take advantage,
play the tortured poet act -
works every time.
Er, I'll go and check my e-mail.
PHONE RINGS
It's Janeece. Janeece,
where are you?
Maxine, he's taken all me clothes.
She's crying. Janeece,
what are you on about?
Mr Bingham, he's took all my clothes.
Don't tell me mum, don't tell anybody.
Janeece, the police
are looking for you.
Hey? Oh, why? I don't know,
but Steph's asked us loads.
Ask her where she is again.
Where are you?
Stay there.
Steph, she's in Manchester.
Eddie and I'll stay here,
you go find Janeece.
I'll give her a call, tell her
it doesn't matter what she's done.
The thing she'll be most scared
of is what we think about it.
We'll follow you in my car, mate.
Do you think she'll be OK?
I can't help feeling
I've let her down.
You've nothing to feel guilty about.
All that crap I was spouting
about relationships.
And all that crap I was spouting
about what a great a teacher he was.

Any news?
Er, no. Tom and Steph
are just heading over.
Look, I know now's not the best time, but the
governors were really impressed with your plans.
You've made an incredible impact
in a few months - well done.
Well, they weren't just my plans,
Nigel. Course, Eddie...
Well done,
all the staff and pupils.
That's what they say
about your job, isn't it?
Flaming hard work but where else
do you get the opportunity to
change lives? Anyway, I'll get off.
Nice work with the staffing report,
Eddie. I'll call you.
Thank you, Nigel.
We have to sort this mess out,
one way or another.
Have you contacted Stuart?
Not yet. But if he is blackmailing
you, I don't expect him to admit it.
He's not blackmailing me.
Yeah, well, like you say,
what you did was 20-odd years ago,
- so what difference would it make
- if people find out?
Why? What are you...?
What are you saying?
I'm going to the LEA.
Don't do that, I beg of you.
That is exactly what
I didn't want to hear you say.
Look, he...
He told me that he was desperate
and his company was going under,
he heard about me and he...
He blackmailed you?
Well, that's it, then.
We go to the police.
He said he loved me.
Yeah, well, lots of blokes say that,
Janeece, when they want something.
You've nothing to be ashamed about.
You trusted him and he tricked you.
Does everyone know at school?
No, course they don't.
Max and that are gonna crucify me.
I'm not going back.
They're just worried about you,
the same as we are.
I mean it, Miss.
I'm not going back.
I only went with him cos I was
sick of them calling me a virgin.
Mum was right,
I'm so flaming stupid.
Hey, don't let anyone
say that you're stupid.
You're lovely, Janeece.
Don't change for anyone.
I'm going to stick to lads
my own age, Miss.
If schools had a proper system of ID, this
wouldn't have happened in the first place.
Janeece, can you remember anything inside
the car - a pass, a ticket, anything.
Just a sticker for a caravan site.
Is she all right?
She's saying she doesn't want
to go back to school,
but now's not the time
to get her to change her mind.
If I get my hands on him...
Right, OK. Janeece saw a parking
permit in his car, it's for a caravan park.
I know it. It's about
half an hour away from here.
We might need you two
to help identify him.
What can you do him for?
Well, depends. Abuse of trust,
although he'll say they had sex
after he'd left the school.
Possibly ID fraud.
Let's get Janeece back first.
Oh, no! I can't face seeing my mum.
I'll just head into town or summat.
Why don't we drop you at ours
for a bit? Chlo will be there.
And Maxine would love
to see you, Janeece.
Chlo and Maxine are your best mates.
They'll just be glad that you're
all right, you know. Come on.
If we go to the police,
it gets out.
If it gets out, I resign.
Why? I thought it was all about
the school, the kids?
Sounds like all you're worried
about is your career.
Eddie, you know that's not true.
Yeah, of course.
Without you we'd all be lost.
We have got absolutely nothing
on Stuart Hordley, nothing.
He denies it, it's his word
against mine. End of story.
You can't handle it, can you?
I had sex with men for money
because I had nothing else.
You can't see past that.
His car's gone. Open the door,
it's the police. Open up!
Look, there's no-one here.
We'll wait until tomorrow,
send someone round.
But what...? That's it? You're not
going to do anything else?
Stake the place out, set up a road block? I'll
go and have a word with that chap on reception.
I dunno.
They'll catch him soon enough.
I don't think he's the type
to get caught, do you?
Come on. What?
Let's have a look inside.
We know it's his caravan.
Tom, let the police handle it,
he'll be back in a minute.
Where my mum always used to keep
her spare key at the caravan. Tom!
Tom.
This is too creepy.
Please, Tom, can we just go.
BANGING
Come here!
Tom!
Come on, you piece of...
Tom!
Tom! Stop! Come here! Tom!
Mr Clarkson, enough! Get off him.
Get off! Get off!
Get back!
- You like little girls, do ya?
- Get off!
Just makes you question your faith
in human nature, don't it?
I was cracking jokes
with him this morning.
Should be a lesson to you, that.
With Chlo and Mika, give them
the heads-up on scum like him.
Not sure I could tell them
what to look for.
What sort of head of
pastoral care am I?
Protecting a teacher
before one of his kids?
Hey, come on, don't hog
all the guilt for yourself.
You'll make a lot of mistakes
in this job, believe me.
Yeah, well, I'm not sure
I'm up to the role after all.
Course you are.
Give yourself a break - there's 600
of them, there's just one of you.
Thank you, Sarg.
We found some ID in the caravan.
Martin Howard, string of offences -
fraud, deception and sexual as*ault.
You can crash here, if you want.
Jan, do you want to talk about it?
Only if you want to, like.
Did he...?
Did he hurt you?
No. He was really nice to me,
up until he dumped me.
There's no way I'd ever go out with
an older fella. They're all flaming pervs.
Maxine, you can't say that.
They're not all...
It's not like that.
He treated me proper lady-like...
at first.
- So, it's all right, what he's done? As long as he
opened doors for you - and didn't give you a slap?
What he did to Janeece had
absolutely nothing to do with his age.
Course it did. Why did you go out
with him in the first place?
It was cos he was older,
weren't it?
He took advantage of you,
Janeece, end of.
All right, you lot?
Have they caught him?
Yeah. They got him.
Let's just say he won't be
breathing any fresh air for a bit.
Thank you, Steph, you've done
a brilliant job. And thank Tom.
Yep, I will see you tomorrow. Bye.
Janeece OK? Yeah, she's fine. She
doesn't want to come back, but...
She'll bounce back,
knowing Janeece.
I hope so.
There must be something we can do
about our differences, over...
over what I did.
There is.
I know there's a massive divide
between us at the moment,
but stick with it, yeah?
Oh, no.
I'll work my three months.
We're onto something
really big here.
I can't work through this,
Rachel. I have to go round it.
Don't resign, please.
I've made my mind up.
I'm sorry.
What's going on? I'm still
the deputy, I've got a contract.
When you sign that piece of paper,
you wash your hands of this place.
These trees
are still going to die.
This is about where we live,
the air we breathe.
It's our Mika, innit?
They stood in front of a three-ton
JCB. They could've been k*lled.
When Miss Mason finds out that this lot are
on the school premises, she's gonna go ape.
This problem's bigger
than a few panes of glass.
If someone gets hurt? No-one will.
Give it a kick,
it'll scare him off. Do it!
Mika! Tom!
