Episode 6

Boys? Can you do me a favour? The Mathematics Olympics, remember? I told you Mathematics could be fun.
CHEERING I need someone to volunteer to be the school's Green Officer.
Mr Watkins, wonderful.
Can you allow Nadine Smith to work on her competition piece today? CAMERA CLICKS LOUD LAUGHING Stop it! I thought I'd done something good today, and you ruined it.
I'm house-trained.
This is your birthday present.
I thought it would boost your spirits.
Tonight I'll see you tonight.
When did you decide you're better than everyone else? Better than me! That's coursework.
What's wrong with you? Emyr, please! No, stay LOUD KNOCKING HOME / WORK WORK I'm delighted that an Assembly Member is visiting Bro Taf today .
.
to celebrate the school's commitment to the environment.
The solar panels may not be in place yet .
.
and despite what our website says .
.
I'm confident that our visitor will appreciate our efforts.
Wales? Solar power? Is he mad? Consult Mr Simon Watkins, our Green Officer, if you have any questions.
Next, on today's agenda Mr Elis? I'm away on the Year 7 field trip today.
Don't you want to play a part in this important visit, Simon? Yes, yes but I can't pull out now.
Someone else can fill your flip flops! That reminds me.
The governors have advertised for a new Head of Geography.
I'd like to encourage every member of the department .
.
to consider applying for this role.
I'd like to extend a warm welcome to Mrs Eryl Huws .
.
who will be assessing our student, Aneurin Rees on his final day here.
Where is Aneurin? Noses to the grindstone, people! Good luck! Can I have a word, Miss Harries? You won't be trying for my job, will you? The extra pay means I could afford a new car.
You forgot this last night.
Did you find the coursework? Does Emyr have a sympathetic side? Whoever is responsible for the damage will be severely punished.
I promise you that.
Sorry, love, and it's your birthday and all.
Check the CCTV, Mrs Reynolds.
Before I forget .
.
cordon off the staff lavatory on the first floor .
.
for our special visitors' use.
Bro Taf is in the spotlight.
"Nid da lle gellir gwell.
" He didn't just ask me to warm the seat for them, did he? The children saw the subject in a whole new light.
I hear the Mathematics Olympics were a success.
Yes, the children had a lot of fun.
We should go.
Good luck.
Thank you.
Teaching a class without you won't be totally new for me! That's right, Jac.
Place them here carefully.
Be careful, that's expensive.
Are you busy, Miss Matthews? SCHOOL BELL OK, in we go.
Jac, Jac! I told you to dress for the beach, not for a night out in Cardiff! Sorry I can't join you .
.
but I've obviously got to do what's best for the school.
You deserve to be Head of Department.
Try for the job.
I'm not afraid of competition.
Nice header, sir.
Do that again, and I'll cancel the trip.
That's a little harsh.
They're meant to respect you, not like you.
I hope you'll be hiding your legs before our guests arrive.
Miss Matthews has come to the rescue, Mr James.
Are you feeling better now? I had a stomach ache.
Nothing serious.
I'm sure it'll be a productive day.
Come on, we've got a lot to do.
That's enough, Year 10.
Mrs Huws, my college tutor, is joining us for today's lesson.
Is she here to judge you, sir? This isn't The X Factor, Keeley.
Right.
.
equations.
What are you doing? You're smudging it.
Where's Nadine this morning? SCHOOL BELL Good news.
Emyr is ill.
What's wrong with him? Bad hair day? Thank you.
I hope I'm not interrupting anything private.
The Head wants to see you, Beca.
Have you been neglecting your duties again, Beca? Year 11 GCSE coursework.
Mr Tomos isn't here.
It doesn't matter.
It needs to reach the examination board by the end of the day.
Bring it all to the office.
We don't want the children to be penalized.
Um, Nadine Smith.
Have you spoken to her father? No APPLAUSE Happy Birthday! Sorry about the cake.
Emyr would've done a lot better if he wasn't on his deathbed.
Happy Birthday! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Sexual harassment? She tried to have sex with me to win a bet.
I've been your friend.
A friend wouldn't photograph me in my pants! I said sorry about that.
So you admit it was a mistake? You behaved in an unprofessional manner.
As you did when you grabbed me.
She's not being serious.
I'm sure Beca realizes the magnitude of the situation, don't you? I know Beca would like another opportunity to apologize.
I'm sorry.
Sorry for offending you.
Good.
Can we concentrate on the important matter of teaching now? I can't mark it in time even if the class presented the work again.
Ask the children.
Is Branwen in your class? Maybe she could help? I still don't think it's Look I'll help you.
I'm not going to let you fail.
You've made a lot of notes.
It's nice to see a talented teacher at work.
Really? Are you surprised? It's fair to say that Aneurin has had a tough time with some classes.
According to the timetable .
.
he's teaching one of the toughest classes later today.
Only time will tell if he knows how to deal with them.
Emyr is he very ill? He's got a migraine.
He was sleeping soundly when I left this morning.
He doesn't usually suffer from migraines.
Something must have caused it.
Stress perhaps? Good luck with the exhibition.
SCHOOL BELL 'COURSEWORK' Oh, sir! We've already done it.
I'm not doing it again.
'PROUD TO BE GREEN' Whose bright idea was it to bring these to the beach? An enthusiastic Geography teacher.
What's that man looking for, sir? Didn't you see the news last night? A woman lost a very valuable ring here yesterday.
She's offering a reward of £10,000.
Peace! SCHOOL BELL Don't forget the coursework.
I'll print it out during my next lesson.
You're a star.
Can you persuade the others to re-print their work too? I've got to present it by the end of the day.
Or what? Leave it with me.
I knew I could depend on you.
If you have something to say to me, say it to my face.
You're shallow, cynical and unprincipled.
You'll regret what you did, Beca Matthews.
The solar panels are still in their boxes .
.
so I suspect we'll be a laughing stock.
Not at all, Mr Elis.
I've had some ideas on saving natural resources .
.
such as paper, gas, electricity Water water.
Water! Do something about the water.
Turn the tap off, Mr Elis.
TEXT ALER Mr Elis! It's still coming.
Turn it off, Mr Elis.
Alright, Mr Watkins? Here we go.
Isn't she the scruffy girl from Year 9? No, I don't think so.
"Code 9 in the Atrium, Mrs Reynolds.
" Let me, you've got enough to do.
Cheers, love.
SCHOOL BELL Isn't it time you let Grug chose your clothes? It's the Head's birthday present from Malawi.
I'm glad they're spending our money in such a responsible manner! That's colourful.
It's dry.
Oh I'll get another one.
And a pudding, maybe? What's going on between you two? Nothing serious.
Eat your lunch, Madiba! I haven't been much help today, have I? You've been working on your tan.
I understand.
You don't want to burn.
Thanks.
Don't leave me alone.
Here we go again.
What's going on here, boys? Give it back.
Don't.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! They've stolen my inhaler.
Give it back, please.
I can't, sir.
They threw it in the sea.
Keep an eye on this lot, Miss Matthews.
Do you know where it went? What came over you? Why did you do something so stupid? CHILDREN LAUGH Gotcha! OK.
Do you think you're funny? Jac Lewis, come here.
Come here! I need those by the end of the afternoon, Wyn.
Don't forget.
Does Matthew normally have a C or a D? Matthew Worth or Richards? Richards.
He has a C if he's made the effort to mutate.
Thanks.
I couldn't have done this without you and Branwen.
Treat them mean, keep them keen.
I'm sorry? You don't want him to take advantage of you.
I'm just helping with his marking.
SCHOOL BELL Think again and consider the answers carefully.
Dafydd, I've told you before.
MOBILE PHONE CHILDREN CHEER Who is it, Stevo? Your girlfriend? Yep? Put the phone away, Stephen.
Maths.
Boring.
Please.
I'll text you after.
Thank you.
You know the rules.
That's it, girls.
Pedal.
Pedal.
Wahoo! Well done! It's an example of how everyone in school can work together .
.
and raise awareness of the environmental problems we face.
Well done.
This experiment works on a number of levels.
TEXT ALER Sorry, Mr Elis.
Please don't send me to the Isolation Room.
It's Mr James.
He's obviously enjoying himself.
He knows how to communicate with the children.
He lacks experience.
You don't need experience if you have a natural talent.
Here we go.
Miss Haddon? Go and find Miss Haddon for me.
Welcome to Ysgol Gyfun Bro Taf.
I'm Rhydian Elis, the Headmaster.
If you'd like to follow me to the first floor I'm Bethan Russell from the National Assembly's Environment Committee.
Great! If we go now, we can make it in time.
Go and get your coat.
If x belongs to the red circle, it must also belong to MOBILE PHONE I'm not going to answer it.
Where is it? Give it to me.
It's my phone.
Give me the phone now.
Right if x belongs to the red circle .
.
which other circle does it belong to? I'm sorry about this.
If I'd known you What? Had difficulty moving around? I would not have prepared everything on the first floor.
It's lucky you have a lift.
We're aware that people have .
.
special needs.
If you'd like to The cyclists in your reception are obviously not pedalling fast enough! This is Steve, the photographer.
Wonderful.
Who do we have here, Mr Elis? I'm Simon Watkins, the Head of Geography.
Temporary.
I'm also the school's Green Officer.
Please explain our intentions for the solar panels to Mrs Russell.
I'm going to look for my tools.
I like your shirt.
Aren't you bored yet? Not at all.
It's a pity we have to go back to school.
Sir, Mr Davies can't find Jac.
There's always one.
I'm the first Green Officer to be appointed in the school.
Saving electricity, recycling.
I was responsible for the school's first compost bin.
Food wastage is something the Assembly has tackled effectively.
The Head is very lucky to have such an enthusiastic member of staff.
Oh well I've got a lot of energy.
I don't doubt it.
Let me have a look at it.
Why doesn't someone just carry me? I'm not sure.
Health and safety You look as if you go to the gym.
Mr Elis? CHILDREN CHEER AND APPLAUD Sir? Not now.
But, sir.
Miss Edwards said it was important.
'You will finish it, Nerys x' Shall I call the school to explain? No.
He's playing up.
I'll find him.
It'll cause problems if the children are late.
Take them back.
I'll stay here to look for Jac.
What shall I tell the Head? Nothing yet.
What did you say it was again? A lack of communication.
Use big words if you ever want to frighten a Welsh learner.
Thanks for going to all this trouble.
You know I like your work, Nadine.
I like drawing.
I like it more than anything else.
Would you like to come to my exhibition tonight? Really? Of course.
Come on.
When do you intend to install the panels, Mr Elis? As soon as possible.
Our expert in this field has cancelled twice.
Why don't you use your tools and lay them yourself? I'm not that handy.
I can see that.
You haven't taken them out of their boxes yet.
What do you think, Simon? Is it itching? This shirt might be organic, but it isn't very comfortable.
You should take it off.
Call me if you fancy going for a drink to discuss the environment.
Here they are, home safe and sound.
The children went to the beach, Mrs Russell.
What were they studying, Miss Matthews? Coastal erosion.
Mr Watkins and Miss Matthews live together, Mrs Russell.
Congratulations don't forget.
Thank you for coming.
Have a safe journey.
Where's Mr James? Jac? Jac? Jac? SCHOOL BELL Did you finish it in time? Yes, thanks to you.
There you go.
That girl has a crush on you.
Me? As if! Come here.
Wyn! What if someone walks in? Do you fancy coming back to the flat after the exhibition? I can't Seren.
You're learning, fair play.
Thank you and good luck, Aneurin.
Thank you.
How was he? He's one of the finest teachers I've ever seen at work.
Congratulations, Aneurin.
Don't forget about us after you graduate.
Are you coming tonight? Well, I We can celebrate your success.
I'm glad you and Beca have made up.
These misunderstandings do happen.
Beca took advantage of me, and I plan to file an official complaint.
Hang on a minute.
You won't change my mind.
I want justice.
HOME / WORK HOME Oh! Mam, I'm starving.
I'm coming now.
'Alffi - A film by Wyn Rowlands' Alright, Dan? Where have you been? Miss Matthews said you can see all the way to England from up there.
I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.
Chill out.
I'm still breathing.
Do you realize how much stress you've caused today? I've already phoned for a lift.
CAR HORN Ouch! Ah, it's cold.
Baby! It's lucky the Africans didn't get Y- fronts for the Head's birthday! TEXT ALER What does that say? Dan's found Jac.
Thank goodness for that.
The boy wouldn't have gone missing if I'd been there.
You were too busy saving the planet.
Don't defend him.
Why not? If the Head knew about today, Dan would never be Head of Department.
And if Rhian Derbyshire had choked that day under your care .
.
you wouldn't stand a chance either.
Grug Have you finished? You're not still in bed, are you? Sorry for knocking the door, but I really need to see you, Ems.
Tonight's a big night.
My stomach's doing somersaults.
Please come tonight.
I'm begging you.
Is he coming? I hope so.
Is Mr Tomos your boyfriend, miss? We're friends, but I haven't been a very good friend lately.
Well? Sorry, Dan.
It was a really stupid thing to do.
Can we go now? I'm going out tonight.
Anywhere nice? I don't want to be late.
Are you going to tell him? I've made the arrangements, Jac.
Mam's going into hospital for an operation.
What's wrong? It's the ligament in my knee.
I've been waiting for months.
Will you look after me? Luke's parents are doing that.
Mam won't let me stay at home.
He's staying with friends.
I'd rather stay with Dan.
That's enough, Jac.
Get in.
The new housemate hasn't learnt the rules yet.
Seren doesn't have to stay tonight.
I can pick her up later.
No, it's fine.
I'll make some food now.
What? Spaghetti on toast? Is Wyn going tonight? Everyone from school will be there.
Enjoy yourself, sweetheart.
Thank you.
Right.
Let me know what you're doing, Ems.
Alright? I thought you'd been kidnapped.
Have I got time for a shower? You don't have to come.
Of course I'm coming.
I want to compare my Sara Harries original with her new work.
Is Emyr still ill? Ill or sulking.
Nadine? I almost didn't recognize you.
Miss let me use her make-up.
Did she? You can use it too, if you want.
There's a cuppa for you in the kitchen.
Does the Head know that you've adopted one of the pupils? Go and get ready.
DOORBELL # Learn from your mistakes # The smile is beautiful but the tears are sad # The smile is beautiful # But the tears are sad # But the tears are sad # PHONE "Emyr is not available.
Leave a message after the tone.
"Please leave a message.
" You've already sold one.
Thanks.
And the guy in the suit might buy something too.
I asked her to come.
Why? I can invite whoever I want to my own exhibition.
I assume your wife is here.
Is that new? It's a birthday present from Emyr.
I've got one criticism.
Where are the dogs? You're amazing, miss.
Thanks, Nadine.
I thought he would be sulking after last night.
No, he's happy to look after her.
When are they expecting you home? About ten.
That's a shame.
Do you want us to enter separately? I don't think we need to hide things any more.
Do you? Hey, Sara sorry.
Sorry.
Your work is great, fair play.
Well done.
Thank you.
He's an expert.
It's a pity Grug and I don't have a sideline of our own.
The extra cash must be very useful.
Mortgage bills won't be a problem when Grug is a headmistress! We'll be rolling in cash when we both get promotions.
Hey, look at this.
About time too.
TAXI HORN Hiya.
He's not home.
E- E-Emyr he's gone to his friend's exhibition.
Can I wait for him? Look I'm just his lodger.
Are you going away? I'm moving out.
Did you argue with the landlord? No.
I'll call back later.
I don't know when Emyr will be back.
OK, I'll go to the gallery.
There's no need to do that.
I'll give him a message.
When? You're leaving.
I want to call by the gallery.
Everyone from school will be there.
It's a chance to say goodbye.
Has Emyr introduced you to the other teachers? Just tell him that Stuart called.
OK.
You can't blame the kid for trying.
He's put years on me today.
She's sold another one.
Do you think she has to pay tax on the money she makes tonight? It's waiting for you.
The taxi.
I'd buy one if I had the money.
That's her birthday present sorted.
What's wrong with flowers? Don't listen.
Simon can't even remember my birthday.
Yes, I can.
It's the 5th of June.
The 6th.
You got the month right! Better late than never.
What have I missed? It's official.
Nerys and Wyn are an item.
SHE SCOFFS What was that supposed to mean? Leave it.
I'm going for a fag.
There's tension between the object and the colours.
It's it's truly amazing, Sara.
Can I tempt you into buying anything? I've already got two of Sara's paintings.
They were gifts.
Gifts? Can't wait to see the back of us, is it? You said you liked it earlier.
Well yes.
You don't look so sure now.
What's going on? It's my way of saying sorry for last night.
How much was it? I think the world of you, Grug.
Did Emyr say anything to you about coming here tonight? Sorry.
Yes, I'm sorry too.
I'm jealous.
What's the occasion? Do I need an occasion to spoil my girlfriend? Seren? I should throw this at him.
Not now.
Sara's just forgiven you for ruining the painting of the dog.
I've got to go.
Why? Nerys? Nerys? What's wrong? Put that phone away.
He never has migraines, and he'd never miss an evening such as this.
Come and talk to the people who've made the effort to be here.
Yes, you're right.
I should find Nadine.
She's gone.
Don't worry, I paid for the taxi.
James It wasn't appropriate.
This is an important evening for you.
Sara! I wasn't sure if I needed a ticket to get in.
Sorry, Stuart, but your boyfriend's at home in front of the television! Who told you that? The guy who rents his spare room.
Why? She hadn't tried coconut milk before.
I tried to open it with a bread knife.
Are you alright, sweetheart? She's had a bit of a shock.
Sorry to drag you both away from the exhibition.
These things happen.
I don't think Seren should stay with me tonight.
Well, not now.
I've thoroughly enjoyed myself, but I'm ready for bed .
.
and Eirlys can't sleep without me.
We'll be going soon too.
We've got work in the morning.
What about you, Aneurin? Are you going to celebrate your success? No, I'm having an early night.
Very wise.
It'll give you time to consider today's events, or reconsider.
Goodnight, lads.
Goodnight, Mr Elis.
Ems! Emyr! Ems, please answer the door.
There's something wrong.
Stand back.
Ems! Emyr! Sara? No! HYSTERICAL SCREAMING It looks like Emyr, doesn't it? The shape of his head, the hair Speak to Beca.
She's talking about going to a club.
MOBILE PHONE Sara? Where are you? Everyone's missing you.
Is Ems feeling better? Dan? Emyr is We'll have to take Beca home.
Emyr's done what? Run away with a woman? He's dead.
It was an accident.
I didn't lay a finger on him.
If Emyr has died, we should call the police.
No! Simon? You're not going to call the police, are you, Si? Si! Don't do anything hasty, Aneurin.
That's not usually a word you'd use to describe me.
Safe or boring, maybe.
Which words did you use when you and that bitch made your bet? Weak? Pathetic? Aneurin, please.
Nobody thinks you're pathetic.
But that's what I am.
It's how I looked in the photograph and how I felt yesterday .
.
when everyone was laughing at me.
This is all your fault.
Simon.
Put that down, Aneurin.
I want a fresh start.
I did a good job today.
I'm a good teacher.
Yes, you are, but let Grug go.
Why? It's over.
It's all over.
