Episode 9

"Two hearts, one aspiration, two souls, but one journey.
" Please? Move in? What planet are you on? Is it true that you're leaving? How could you do this to me? A word, Miss Harries? You're seeing someone else.
What makes you think that? Are you denying the fact that you have feelings for him? I know you're sleeping with him, Grug! Nadine Smith.
What about tomorrow's interview? It's all up here.
Fancy a whiskey chaser? Yes? Come on! Hey Where are you going, Dan? I want a normal, mature relationship with you.
Are you willing to try again? Your mother's condition is serious.
She has MRSA.
I'm your big brother.
I'll try harder.
HOME / WORK WORK The police will discuss many issues .
.
including personal safety and alcohol misuse.
I'm tied up all day in interviews .
.
so I'm relying on everyone to help PC Davies and his team.
You're late .
.
just like that report I asked you to do.
Gwen Lloyd, former Head of Geography .
.
will observe the candidates .
.
and give her opinion on their knowledge of the subject.
Subsequently, Marc Reed has returned as a supply teacher.
If there's nothing else, I'll let you I'd like to tell everyone that Nadine Smith, Year 9 .
.
won the main award in the Welsh Waterways Art Competition.
That is praise indeed for the Art Department.
I'd like to discuss the future of the Art Department.
Do you have a moment? Of course.
It's a bit early for me.
Where is he? No hot water at home this morning, Mr Watkins? I used to teach children how to cross the road.
These days, I tell them how to avoid drugs and recognize online perverts.
Excuse me.
What are you doing here? Cornwall.
A hotel on the beach.
What do you say? Oh Yes, Branwen? DOG BARKS It's alright.
He's had his breakfast.
What would I do without you? I'm sure you'd cope.
Dan said you snored like a pig all night.
Did he? You were talking in your sleep too.
You said something about behaving like a prat.
It's a shame I don't have that kind of self-awareness all the time.
I'm sorry.
Are you sure you're ready for this? A written assessment .
.
teach a lesson .
.
and give a formal presentation.
I was born ready.
Thank you.
I thought leaving would help me come to terms with losing Emyr.
Nothing can do that and I realize it now.
If it isn't too late, I'd like to retract my resignation.
What resignation? Welcome back, Sara.
Dewi Tomos Sue Potter, is it? OK, thanks.
Are you struggling with your bunions, Mr James? Tell me, Miss Haddon.
Why is there dog mess on the first floor? I don't know.
I've got cats.
Is Mr Young here? Snoring like a pig? I don't like lying.
Where were you anyway? It's a pity you didn't stay for breakfast.
I've got marmalade that really makes your mouth water.
Oh, Mr Young? Come this way.
You didn't I don't remember.
That's a good thing.
If I can't remember .
.
it means it's unlikely that I could have Do you know what I mean? OK um Could you all follow me, please? Mr Watkins? SCHOOL BELL Well? Come on.
I'm crossing everything for you, bach.
Everybody here today .
.
uses a forum like this on the Internet .
.
even the teachers.
We usually join these sites in order to chat to friends.
But what if a stranger contacts us? 'Talk to me, please.
' It's very important not to reveal your address or your phone number .
.
or the name of your school to anyone.
Remember it's so easy for you to be manipulated by an adult.
SCHOOL BELL Half-term.
Have you got any plans? Callum's wedding in Dublin.
Why? It doesn't matter.
She was hopeless with the children but at least she had done her hair.
I thought you were observing the expertise of the candidates.
I don't know why.
My degree is in Religious Studies.
I was only helping out when I agreed to teach Geography.
Fifteen years later, and I'm running the department.
Are you sure I can't tempt you? It would do you the world of good.
I'll stick to water, thanks.
Unique, that's the word.
She's asked me to go away with her to see Chris De Burgh in concert.
Help Can you give me the answers? SCHOOL BELL Whoa! I assume you're not laughing about global warming.
Melanie Williams's profile, sir.
Is it appropriate viewing for a teacher? Miss Matthews knows how to enjoy herself, sir.
Miss Matthews, PE, has had a lot of practice.
What about Miss Matthews, Maths? Melanie said she was hammered.
Where is Melanie now? What is a map? A map is primarily a picture.
It's a picture of an area that sometimes includes coastlines .
.
mountains, rivers .
.
or any other features relating to that area.
Um of course everybody recognizes this map.
Come on a sheep on the top of Snowdon could tell me the answer.
Oh um right.
I was just testing you.
Oh KNOCK ON DOOR SCHOOL BELL Have I walked into the wrong room? Branwen O'Donnell.
What about her? Do you have any idea why she wants to leave your Welsh lesson? What has she told you? She's struggling with the work and wants to move to a lower set.
She has been struggling lately.
Has she? Well yes.
Thinking about it, maybe you should arrange for Branwen to swap classes.
We don't want the girl to be unhappy, do we? Thanks for your help.
Numbers always give me a headache.
Nobody's perfect, Simon.
Hello, how are you? Interview? Yes.
Nice to see you again.
And you.
Do you know her? Carys Murphy.
I worked with her when I first left college.
Should I be worried? She's got a degree from Oxford, speaks fluent Spanish .
.
has competed in many triathlons .
.
but she also forgot to register an entire class for their exams.
How was the lesson earlier? Great.
The piece de resistance is yet to come.
I really want this job now.
What? I haven't got it.
PHONE Goodness me, I hope Nadine Smith's work is better than that! You'll see for yourself when the photographer arrives.
He isn't coming, because your protege is absent again.
If her father's not careful, the Welfare Officer will be after him.
Right Sue Potter? Come on, girls.
In you come.
Fill the front row first, please.
Remember that presentation Simon took ages to prepare? Has the muppet lost it? Yes, in the pub last night.
Can you help him throw something together over lunch? Grug do you remember last night? Yes, unfortunately.
I've found out that BOYS LAUGH Put that away.
You're here to learn, not socialize.
Your boyfriend was great in the preliminaries this morning.
He's bound to make it to the stage! What's wrong with you? It's not like Mr James to raise his voice.
Grug WHISTLE Binge drinking.
Binge drinking? You do realize that teachers need to set an example.
You know the guidelines.
I'm sorry.
It had been a long day.
I didn't realize the children were taking photographs.
You knew there were schoolchildren present but you didn't leave! I'm sorry.
I'm sorry if the photographs have embarrassed you or the school.
I'm disappointed in you, Grug.
I expect this behaviour from other teachers, but from you? You're a laughing stock.
Rex is trained to find evidence .
.
such as drugs and other illegal material.
Are you ready? Where is it? Where is it? Go and find it.
APPLAUSE As you can see, Rex is an important weapon in the battle against drugs.
No, don't don't, good boy.
Whoa um he must want my bacon sandwiches.
REX GROWLS Probably.
Do you want to get caught? No.
But this Bob Hope is top-notch.
Oh, Gwen.
Throw it away.
You can buy more when the police have gone.
Yes you're quite right.
Do you know where Kelly Stevens will be at lunchtime? I wanted to go with him.
That's not the point.
You've got to say something.
No.
It's not right.
Girls? What's wrong? Shush! GIRLS WHISPER Um open this door, please.
Tell her.
What? She's been dumped, miss .
.
by Mr Rowlands.
SCHOOL BELL I already know that my dance moves are the gossip of the canteen.
What would you do if someone told you .
.
that a teacher was having a relationship with a pupil? Hypothetically.
I'd go straight to the Head.
Even if you've only heard it from the girl's friend? Hypothetically? If you have any information about an improper relationship .
.
between a pupil and a teacher, you have a duty to report it, Beca.
There's no doubt about it.
Your stomach has obviously settled.
I'll need the energy to make a good impression this afternoon.
I won't forget this.
You can pay for my curry on Friday night too.
Grug and I have worked hard to help you get this job.
I wouldn't blame you for turning your back on me .
.
given the way I've been behaving lately.
Thanks, mate.
I hope you're not expecting a hug.
Lunch money.
Don't spend it all on chips.
Are we seeing Mam tonight, Dan? Mr James.
Half-term starts tomorrow.
We'll go then.
We don't have to be long.
Go, before all the burgers have gone.
The fact that she's ill doesn't change a thing.
I don't believe you.
She's your mother and she's seriously ill, so grow up! If you don't like it, we could go to a different hotel.
No, it's Marc.
He can't look after Seren, that's all.
Does she want to come with us? Well I'll phone the hotel to see if there's space.
Do you mind? Not at all.
Chilli, please.
Do you three often go for a pint? Um no.
It was a one-off.
We had a lot of fun, didn't we? I was too drunk to remember.
Come off it.
I'm sure you haven't forgotten everything Cowboy! Thank you very much.
Thank you.
The time has come, Mr Watkins.
Yee-ha! Did you know that Nadine Smith is absent a lot? She never misses my classes.
She thinks the world of you.
Something's obviously wrong.
Be careful.
Are you still feeling queasy? I doubt if I'll see the Curry Club.
Nor me.
I can't get a babysitter.
Are Branwen and Danielle available? It didn't work out.
How does it feel to go viral?! SCHOOL BELL Beca What can I do for you? I need to see the Head.
No can do, sorry.
He's in the middle of the interviews.
It's important.
Why? What's wrong? I'll wait.
They can take photographs, record sound .
.
and return to the class to discuss the information they have gathered.
Mobile phones are a major problem in terms of discipline.
Do you really support a scheme that encourages children to use them? They're useful tools nevertheless.
I don't think STOMACH RUMBLES .
.
that it is a bad thing if we take advantage of their potential.
If we permitted the use of phones in this instance .
.
it would give them free reign to use their phones .
.
in every aspect of school life, don't you agree? Well um MOBILE PHONE Everybody has a mobile phone these days, Mr Elis.
We either accept it or bury our heads in the sand.
Heroin.
Cocaine? Cocaine, excellent.
Yes, well done.
Blow.
Well done.
LSD.
Is there a problem, Branwen? You are the school's Green Officer.
Could you list your successes? Yes, um I um led a carbon footprint project.
I've played a key role in the school's solar power campaign .
.
and I was responsible for establishing the compost heap.
Is there anything else you'd like to add, Mr Watkins? HE VOMITS Thank you for your time.
How was it? Call Mrs Reynolds and ask her to bring a bucket.
Not now, Miss Matthews.
Yes, now.
Don't forget the Maths Club in the holidays.
KNOCK ON DOOR I need to speak to Branwen O'Donnell.
I've sent her home, Mr Elis.
Can I have a word? Carry on with the questions on page eight.
She wasn't feeling very well and she was upset.
Beca discussed a very sensitive issue with you over lunch.
Did you realize that she was talking about Branwen? Yes, and I felt it was best to send her home under the circumstances.
No, Grug.
It would've been better to have kept Branwen here .
.
so that we could assess her needs.
I'm sorry.
You're saying that a lot lately.
Perhaps I made a mistake.
Perhaps I shouldn't have put you forward for the headship course.
I didn't make the decision to send Branwen home on a whim.
She wanted to go.
She's suffered enough.
So you say.
Yes, I do say.
I'm quite certain I did the right thing for her.
If you disagree, then maybe you're right .
.
and I should pull out of the training course.
By the way those photographs? I'd had a terrible day.
I went out with friends.
I had a drink and I had fun.
Everybody deserves to enjoy themselves sometimes, even teachers! SCHOOL BELL It's not true.
Why would Danielle say such a thing? I'll discuss the matter with members of the relevant agencies tomorrow.
The council, the police.
The police? But I haven't done anything wrong.
If the general consensus is that these allegations are unfounded .
.
then you'll have nothing to worry about.
What if the meeting decides differently? Contact the union just in case.
Attacks of this kind are very rare .
.
but you need to be aware of the risk .
.
and take measures to protect yourself Oh! Oh oh, no.
Are you alright? Will one of you fetch the nurse? Those self-defence lessons are obviously working.
SCHOOL BELL Mr Wyn Rowlands? You need two new tyres on your car.
Do you think she knows? I've written it all down, just as you asked.
I hope you haven't overreacted this time, for Wyn's sake.
His career is in the balance.
I'm just doing my job, Mr Elis.
Sorry Year 11 have been rehearsing for their exams.
It's fine thank you.
Let me help you with those.
Thank you.
HOME / WORK HOME KNOCKING ON DOOR # The rain is falling above my head # And it feels as though the world is over # But there's glass on the floor # Don't let them drag me down, down # Ah-ah, ah-ah # Don't let them drag me down, down HE SOBS # Don't let them drag me down # What did you say I was this morning? A prat? I'm leaving the training course.
Why? I made a stand for teachers' rights to drink vodka and dance to Madonna.
Do you think it's a conspiracy? Both of our careers have been ruined in one day.
Self-sabotage, perhaps.
I really regret it, Grug.
You'll get another chance for a promotion.
I regret upsetting you.
I know you'd never have an affair.
Come here.
KNOCK ON DOOR It's all lies.
I promise.
Are you on your own today? Dad's at work.
You weren't in school and I wanted to boast about your success.
Sorry.
When will he be home? Not until late.
What time, exactly? Sugar? No, thanks.
DOORBELL Who was it? Where did you sleep last night, Simon? With Dan.
Why? It appears that he took the trouble of washing it for you.
I can explain.
Did you have sex with her? Simon tell me.
I don't remember.
I don't think I had sex because I had my pants on when I woke up.
Grug Leave me alone! But I want to No! Are you sure you did nothing to encourage her? Of course I'm sure.
I told you she had a crush on you.
Why didn't you believe me, Wyn? Because it was such a stupid idea.
I'm 35.
I don't keep fit and I've got a beer belly.
So don't blame me for not foreseeing this! Everything was starting to come together.
Work.
You and me.
It's not fair.
You can go in now.
How is she? She's fine, all things considered.
Go on.
How is she really? She's very ill.
But will she get better? One day at a time, OK? Yeah.
You know how to look after yourself, don't you? I saw you earlier.
Is it the annual rugby tour? My brother's stag do - Guinness, a club called River Lapdance Are you looking for a partner? No but you can hold the pads.
Ready? Argh! Oh! I didn't want to hurt you.
Is that why you lied? To protect me? To be fair, Dan started that story.
But you would have told me the truth, would you? I want to make things right.
And I want a boyfriend who doesn't sleep with other women.
I didn't sleep with her.
No, you were too drunk to take your pants off.
I'm 99% sure that I didn't have sex with her, Grug.
Are you going to see her again? She came to the house my house with your shirt washed and ironed! One-night stands don't do that.
I didn't have a one-night stand.
I don't want to sleep with anyone else and especially not Gemma.
Gemma? Haddon.
I went back to her flat last night.
I don't remember what happened after I went through the door.
Gemma Haddon? Yes.
Forgive me? I'm begging you, please.
Have you finished your tea? No, not yet.
Listen, Nadine.
People have noticed that you've been missing school.
They might even contact the authorities.
Stop them, miss.
Come to school tomorrow and I don't want to get into trouble.
There's no need to get upset.
I've got a tip for you.
Move your head next time.
Don't worry.
I'll be ready for you next time.
Oh, yeah? Thanks for not turning your back on me.
Why would I do that, Wyn? You've done nothing wrong.
No.
Let me know if you want any company and I'll come over later.
You don't want to drag yourself all the way over to my place.
I've got nothing else to do.
Nerys? Sometimes he's fine, and other times he can't get out of bed.
There is help available for you.
No.
Nadine, you don't have to cope with this alone.
Thanks, miss but we can look after each other.
Do you seriously think Vokes is as good a player as Earnshaw? Tell him, will you? How was your mother, Jac? Good, she'll be home before long.
Hey take your bags upstairs.
When was the last time Earnshaw scored anyway? Is she very ill? Yes.
I'm sorry.
It's Jac I feel sorry for.
She's your mother too.
What's on the menu tonight? I'll find something to cook.
You? Cook? And you believe him? What sort of a question is that? A fair one.
We're talking about Wyn.
You don't know him very well.
I know that he would never be so unprofessional.
Be careful.
That's all I'm saying.
And don't leave him on his own with our daughter.
You just don't like the guy.
You made that perfectly clear when you first met him.
Seren's my daughter.
I want her to be safe.
And I don't? Come on, sweetheart.
We're going.
Ta-ra, Dad.
Ta-ra.
It's not a good idea to drink after a workout.
Are you a nurse? Wishful thinking.
I'm a teacher.
Religious Education? Do I look like Mary Jones from Bala? What about you? I don't work.
A gentleman of leisure.
A gentleman in search of employment.
Singer? A Welsh singer.
Don't give him any clues.
Kelly Jones? No.
DOORBELL Pizza! Better late than never.
Aled Jones? You're hopeless.
Hey Hiya.
I was looking for Simon.
He isn't here.
What's wrong? Sorry, I should have phoned.
Are you alright? Hey Mobiles are dangerous things.
Why? The names Betsan and Bethan are far too similar.
Have you got a thing for girls whose names start with B? Coincidence.
Really? I'm not tired.
Go to bed, now.
MOBILE PHONE Bed.
Are you alright? Sitting in front of the telly alone doesn't help.
I don't suppose you fancy some company.
I've got a pile of marking to do.
I've got a red pen.
We can share the burden.
Seren hasn't even thought about going to bed yet.
Is anything wrong? Why? I don't know.
You just sound distant.
It's just been one of those days.
I haven't done anything wrong.
See you tomorrow.
We'll have to organize Cornwall Goodnight.
There is such a thing as male pride.
Simon woke up in Gemma Haddon's flat wearing only his pants.
I don't blame him for trying to keep it quiet.
What's wrong with him, Dan? I don't know, but please don't try to fix him.
The only reason I go to work is to hear about his latest crisis.
You're a good friend.
Simon's been a good friend to me too.
I was talking about me.
Thanks for getting Melanie Williams to delete those photos.
I was too late, unfortunately.
Thanks, anyway.
There is such a thing as female pride too.
Um Jac needs help with his homework.
Taf, Tywi, Tawe I've run out of ideas.
MOBILE PHONE Where are you? Hm-mm.
I'll have to ask you to leave.
We've had a complaint.
Why? Weren't we doing it properly? Don't worry.
We were just leaving anyway.
Were we? Come on.
How were things with Miss Smith? I found out why she's been missing so much school.
Loose Women.
And her father suffers from depression.
Nadine, the poor girl is trying to look after him.
My father had the same.
Mam couldn't cope with it.
That's why she left.
And you? I stayed.
Who else did he have? Well, there's a first time for everything.
Haven't you been thrown out before? Hey I'm a good girl.
I want you so much.
What? Here? In your car? There are people around.
We don't want another telling-off, do we? You're so pretty.
Steffan? Shush.
# Painting the day # With artificial colours # Painting the day with artificial # The Head is meeting the police tomorrow .
.
to decide if there's a case against me.
The police? I could lose my job, Branwen.
I could go to jail.
I thought you were angry with me.
I had a shock when you said you wanted to move in.
Tell me what to do.
Tell them it's a lie.
Tell the Head that Danielle has made it all up and then .
.
well um we can be together again.
What about Miss Edwards? Things haven't worked out.
I couldn't pretend that I liked somebody else.
Will you speak to the Head tomorrow? Good girl.
When can I see you again? I'm in the gym practically every day.
Can you open the door, please? I'll call you.
# When I was a year or two younger # And I was a red-cheeked, innocent young lad # I'd go to school like every good little boy # Through fog and rain in the winter and the summer # At school, I had # History lessons, Geography lessons # And English lessons all the time # And one or two lessons in Welsh, fair play # Because I was a little Welshman #
