Gwaith/Cartref (2011) s01e10 Episode Script

Episode 10

She's been dumped, miss .
.
by Mr Rowlands.
It's not true.
Why would Danielle say such a thing? Don't leave him alone with our daughter.
Tell him it's a lie.
Tell the Head that Danielle made it all up, and then we can be together.
Are you ready for this? I was born ready.
Perhaps I made a mistake in putting you forward for the Headship course.
Do you have anything else to add? It's a conspiracy.
Both our careers ruined in one day.
You're a good friend.
Simon's been good to me.
I meant to me.
Is she very ill? Yes.
I'm worried about Jac.
She's your mother too.
Do you need a partner? Do you like girls whose names start with B? Her father has depression.
My father had the same.
Mam couldn't cope.
That's why she left.
Steffan.
Shush.
HOME / WORK WORK Remind the children that non-uniform day is a privilege .
.
and that half-term doesn't start until the final bell rings.
Congratulations to Dan James for being shortlisted .
.
in the 2011 competition for the Best Teacher .
.
To Return To Teaching After A Break Of Less Than Five Years.
A representative from the website, love-for-teachers.
com .
.
will visit the school later to photograph Dan at work.
Finally, a new Head of Geography was appointed yesterday.
The standard of the applicants was exceptionally high .
.
and we decided to offer They're tearing each other apart! Come on! Fight! Fight! Fight! Do something! Take Branwen straight to my office, Miss Matthews.
Everybody out.
Get out now! Get her out of here.
Out! SCHOOL BELL Everything alright, love? Those two are friends, aren't they? Boys, make-up that's what girls fight about.
You understand the female psyche perfectly, Simon.
Interview? Court case? Makeover? The Child Protection Panel is meeting today.
You're not in trouble, are you? I'm a witness.
A child made an accusation against a teacher yesterday.
It must be serious if there's an emergency meeting.
The Head is just following procedure, Simon.
That's all.
It's a lie.
Do you really think Wyn would have a relationship with Branwen O'Donnell? We should be careful .
.
because a child could make a complaint against one of us one day.
You missed the meeting.
Come on.
Wyn Rowlands and Branwen O'Donnell? Really? No smoke without fire.
I was just phoning to see how she is.
Her son.
CHILDREN LAUGH We're talking about two hormonal teenage girls.
Do we need to look for another reason? Danielle is not a malicious girl, Mr Elis.
I can't accept that she would lie about something so serious.
What do you suggest that we do? Speak to Danielle again.
For what purpose? Branwen has denied the story.
There isn't any new information.
I truly think that for the sake of the school .
.
we need to draw a line under this incident.
And that's the end of it, is it? You should go and change.
You don't want to ruin your clothes.
How was it with the Head? Fine.
Thanks for looking after Simon the other night, Miss Haddon.
Sorry if he was a handful.
Mr Rowlands.
Follow me, please.
Talking of vindaloos .
.
I spent the night on the toilet after my last curry.
The world won't end if you don't go tonight.
I've never been to the Curry Club.
Sorry, I didn't sleep much last night.
Did you meet anyone nice? Order a korma and enjoy yourself.
Aren't you coming? The last thing I want to do tonight is talk about this place.
I can't go on my own.
Ask Marc.
He'll be on his own.
You like them chunky, don't you? What is this competition exactly? They're looking for the best Welsh-speaking Geography teacher .
.
who rides a mountain bike.
You're jealous.
Excuse me, Mr Reed.
Are you joining the staff for tonight's meal? The Curry Club.
It's a monthly tradition.
You're welcome to come as my guest.
Why not? Until tonight, then.
Be careful.
She bites.
Don't tell me she fancies Oh What are you doing? The new Head of Geography will need a locker That's Emyr's locker.
He's gone, sweetheart.
SCHOOL BELL Forgot, have you? Forgot to wash as well.
Hm-mm girls.
Um Miss Harries said that your father was ill.
Nadine I used to worry about my father too.
What? Oh, sorry sorry.
Mr Elis? I haven't got time, Beca.
It's about Branwen O'Donnell.
The matter is closed.
Forget about it.
This looks fine, Miss Haddon.
Danielle is There's been a thorough investigation .
.
and after considering the facts, there's no reason to press charges.
The girl Why are you rocking the boat? Haven't you learnt a thing after that incident with Aneurin Rees? Branwen denied the story and the Head has dropped the investigation.
Oh, great.
We can go to Cornwall and enjoy ourselves now.
I'm in the middle of a lesson.
Aren't you happy? We'll talk over lunch.
Will you be happy for me then? I am happy for you, Wyn.
Are you? It really does suit you.
Nadine? We've been through the lost property box, haven't we? She's agreed to speak to a counsellor.
Well someone's been busy.
Someone's in a better mood.
I had a shock when I saw Gemma emptying his locker.
Nobody is going to forget Emyr.
No .
.
and I'll make sure of that.
Gwen wants to meet for a cocktail before tonight's meal.
Well, tell me what to do.
If you want advice on dealing with women, you're asking the wrong man.
How long have you been with Grug? Oh um About three years.
We bought a house together last year.
You'll be getting engaged next.
Nerys and I were together for nine years.
We had a home and a child.
I suspect we'd still be together if I'd proposed to her.
Someone looks serious today.
Knickers.
The hospital wants me to fetch some clean clothes for my mother.
I'll sort it at lunchtime.
What would you do without me? Smoking is against school rules, you know.
We can't talk here.
When can I see you? Tonight? Tomorrow? What are you doing? Nothing.
I didn't know you smoked.
I saw how upset you were yesterday.
Danielle made the story up, miss.
Why would your best friend do that? Why don't you just tell the truth, Branwen? It has nothing to do with anyone else.
I just want to forget about it, OK? Yes? I'm Branwen O'Donnell's dad.
I want to see my daughter.
I said you were in a meeting, but oh no.
I asked him to make an appointment, but he didn't want that, and then He's obviously changed his mind.
Excuse me.
Can you tell me where to find 11B? Yes yes, of course.
Follow me.
It's really colourful.
It's effective too.
Don't spoil it.
OK, look at me smile.
What are you doing? Work through the paper and we'll look at the answers after half-term.
I want to talk to you.
Can I help? It's Branwen I want to see.
We're in the middle of a lesson.
It's important.
Danielle's mother phoned the house.
What's going on? Oooooooh! Mr O'Donnell? Outside now! Phone this number and ask for help.
Are you going to talk to me? Is it true? Who is he? I'll have to ask you to leave.
Do you know who it is? You shouldn't be here.
I'm going to find out.
Danielle will tell me.
Stay here Mr O'Donnell.
MOBILE PHONE Hello? Katie Lewis? How did you get? Are you going to tell me? You should talk to the Headmaster.
Who is he? Mr O'Donnell, I think Tell me.
Hello.
Simon Watkins, Geography.
We did meet at the parents' evening.
I understand you have something to discuss.
I want to know what's going on with my daughter.
If you want to follow me, I'll make sure we get to the bottom of this.
After you.
Oi! Stop! Grug Hey let me out! What's going on? What is this? Can someone fetch the keys, please? Let me out.
What is this? SCHOOL BELL I can't believe no-one saw him roaming the corridors.
Anyone sane would know that something was wrong.
I'm really looking forward to tonight.
I hope you don't mind that Marc is my date, Nerys? It's a misunderstanding.
Oh If I hear that you've been smoking in school again .
.
you'll pay for it, understand? Who knows what would have happened if you hadn't intervened.
I won't forget your contribution today.
I promise.
Praise from the Head.
If I'd locked Mr O'Donnell in the cupboard yesterday .
.
I would've got the job.
I'm sure the Head will find a way to reward you.
You could add Security Officer to your long list of responsibilities.
I should have protected you in the gallery.
I'm sorry.
Um do you mind if I take a few photographs? No.
You too, Mrs Watkins? Mrs Watkins? Has anyone seen Grug? She'll be on the front page of the newspapers tomorrow morning.
What's wrong, Mr James? A favour? If you're not eating them, put them in the bin.
I heard about your father.
Come on.
It isn't your fault.
Sorry, miss.
I didn't want all this trouble.
It's over now.
Nothing happened between Mr Rowlands and me honest.
He was kind.
He listened.
I know.
Does this mean I'm not allowed to look after Seren any more? I doubt if your parents will let you babysit again, Branwen.
But I haven't done anything wrong Please.
I'm really sorry, Dan.
She'll get better.
It's just a matter of time.
Thanks for your help today.
I wouldn't know where to start.
You're welcome.
I'll bring the car round.
Forgive me? Squeeze it.
Lift it.
Bag it.
Got it? I want to see that bag full.
It doesn't feel right to punish her.
Danielle made a false accusation against a teacher.
Imagine what that story could have done to the school's good name.
Is the school's good name .
.
more important than running a good school, Mr Elis? With all due respect, questionable decisions have been made recently .
.
in order to protect the good name of Bro Taf.
Questionable? It wouldn't be a bad thing to deal with any issues that arise .
.
in an open and thorough manner.
It might stop parents turning up and threatening the teachers.
I'll consider what you just said if you consider something for me.
Complete the training course, Grug.
You'd make an excellent headmistress one day.
Message from the Head.
The new Head of Geography is visiting the school later.
The Head wants to give him a warm welcome.
Did you hear that, Superman? Superman hears everything.
Hasn't he got X-ray vision too? Do you know what's so funny? I gave up on these two a while ago.
Oh, come on.
I'll wash if you dry.
Gwen I'm not looking for a relationship.
Just a bit of fun, is it? I'm gay.
Right, swap those around.
That's right.
I didn't see you in the staffroom at lunchtime.
I couldn't stand people treating Wyn as if nothing had happened.
We've only got Danielle's word to prove he's done anything wrong.
Why would anyone believe her? Shall we do something after work? The gym? You can laugh at me trying to do some Body Jam.
Happy? Emyr loved teaching.
It feels right that so many children contributed to this.
And in such a hands-on way too.
You remind me of him.
Good looks, smart clothes.
Bad jokes.
I really miss him.
Of course you do.
Life Rule Number One.
"Enjoy it while you can.
" The new boss is waiting for us.
Half-term, a week off.
Some of us have got paperwork to do.
Let the new Head of Department do it.
I'm not giving him an excuse to judge me.
Should we ask him out for a pint? Start on the right foot? I can't.
Why? Mind your own business.
Dan, Simon, this is your new Head of Department, Mr Steffan Young.
Hello.
Hiya.
Hello.
SCHOOL BELL HOME / WORK HOME # You'll go anywhere # To have a good time, a good time # You'll go anywhere # To have a good time, a good time # You can change my clothes after paying the price # You can touch me here if I can call you a friend # KNOCK ON DOOR Mam won't listen either.
Come in.
Shall we go into the jacuzzi instead of having a workout? Have you forgotten something? Beca? Beca? Can I stay here tonight? No! Not after everything that's happened.
I'm going out before long.
With Miss Edwards? I saw you two together earlier.
Listen I'm not stupid.
I'm 20 years older than you.
How could things work out between us? Was everything you said last night a lie? If you hadn't denied Danielle's story, I would have been suspended.
You know I like you .
.
but everything is too complicated.
If you weren't in school .
.
and if I was braver But you're not.
Sorry.
We're moving out.
Are you sure you've got everything? Thanks for the notice.
I was going to tell you.
Did you plan on sending a text from the taxi? What shall I do with these? Leave them by the door.
Toothbrush! Sara I don't want to keep you.
You're obviously in a hurry.
Has it happened to you before? Have you eaten enough today? Shall I? I'm alright thanks.
You frightened me.
Sorry.
I couldn't.
What? Go inside.
I met a guy in the gym last night.
We Beca.
I didn't want to have sex with him, Grug.
Why did you? Hey I'm moving into Helen's house.
She'll need someone to look after her when she comes home.
She's my mother.
I thought you regretted it.
Today.
Regretted it? How long have you been here? Long enough to know she needs to work on her backhand.
Oi! Do you want tea with us, Alys? We're making Welsh cakes next door.
She's asked me over.
Can I go? Don't be a nuisance and come back when Alys's mother tells you.
So you decided against the Curry Club.
It wouldn't be the same without you.
Wine? Yes.
# I would, if you would FRONT DOOR OPENS # I would, if you would # Dive into the deep end # Alright, Beca? Beca isn't feeling well, so she's come to lie down.
Go up, alright? Is everything alright? I love you so much.
# Did your doubts worry you? # Were you smothered by temptation? # Did you dare to take a bite from the poisoned apple? # You came to excite me # But sat there smiling # You came to disrupt my life # Right, it's all sorted.
Mair is looking after Seren, so we can join the others.
I've poured these now.
Look, Wyn.
I want to go, OK? I want everyone to know that we don't have anything to hide.
I'll call a taxi.
Yes.
Did you tell him? Have you decided what you want to do? I was kissing the guy in the bar.
The manager asked us to leave.
He raped you.
I didn't fight back.
That doesn't justify what happened.
No, but it won't sound good in front of the police either.
You're going to be late.
Come with us.
Nobody will thank me for turning up like this.
Don't let this guy get the better of you! Please? She's playing with Alys from next door.
Are you enjoying that? It's been a long week.
Good evening, everyone.
You don't know Arthur, he's a friend from It's fine, darling.
We go to therapy together.
Wyn, Nerys and Marc - the guy I was telling you about earlier.
How are you, Arthur? Very good thanks.
Where is everyone? I've only had a bit of quiche all day.
Hello.
Thank goodness.
I'm starving.
MOBILE PHONE CALL ENDS Was it him? It isn't too late to go to the police.
It's my word against his.
We saw today what happens when someone tries to tell the truth.
Are you ready for a feast? Someone's in a good mood tonight.
A week's holiday, a meal, an evening with my two favourite ladies I've got no reason to complain.
Come on.
You can start now, I've arrived.
You decided to come.
I'm so glad.
You've heard me talk about Arthur.
I couldn't leave him on his own with two Cumberland sausages.
I was telling Grug that the new Head of Department is a nice guy.
You're not going to talk about work all evening, are you? No, but it's promising.
Are you kissing his arse already, Simon? You don't waste time.
You're in no position to talk about taking advantage of an opportunity.
Everything looks great.
Yes, and I'm going on a diet.
You don't need to go on a diet.
You haven't seen me naked! Alright? The waiter won't let me bring my pint outside.
It's enough to make anyone think of packing it in.
It must be a relief that the business with Branwen is over.
There was no business.
It was a schoolgirl fantasy.
I can see how it can happen.
Girls look older these days .
.
especially with all the make-up and skimpy clothes.
You can't blame anyone for being tempted.
No teacher has the right to take advantage of a pupil.
It's unforgivable.
Sara's looking lovely tonight.
You two are getting on well, aren't you? We kissed twice.
Are you happy now? Do you have a fetish for landladies? I've moved out, remember? What's her secret? What makes Dan James, professional singleton Oh, shut up! .
.
start a relationship with a teacher from the same school as him? Don't choke on it.
It's just like a massive crisp, isn't it? Before it gets cold.
Your woman's intuition was right.
You'll thoroughly enjoy it.
Perranporth is lovely.
There's so much to do.
I spent the afternoon in a cave.
It's an opportunity to relax.
Seren's already asked for surfing lessons.
Is that your daughter? My daughter with Marc.
It's a long story.
Drinks anyone? No, it's my round, I think.
Isn't he a sweetheart? Hey, you managed to come.
Hello.
Everybody this is Steffan, the new Head of Geography.
Hiya, Steffan.
Take a seat.
Can we have another menu here? Beca.
Do you two know each other? We've met before.
Excuse me.
Thanks.
Beca? Oh, I spilt yogurt on my top.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
Simon told me about you and Dan.
They tell each other everything.
I'll have to remember that.
I'm delighted for you.
Everything with Dan is just so easy.
Alright? Fine.
I didn't realize Is she upset about Dan and me? No, that's old news.
Fifty children, fifteen hours on the bus .
.
and we arrive to hear that the spring has been unseasonably warm .
.
so that meant there wasn't any snow! What did you do if the children couldn't ski? I taught them how to play poker.
Oh, they've taken my drink.
I'll fetch you another one.
Oh, um What do you suggest? Which is the hottest? I'll have the chicken saag I'm going.
I'm not hungry.
I'll drive you.
No, there's no need.
Oh um I didn't intend on asking you in here .
.
but seeing as you've spoilt the surprise .
.
will you marry me? Congratulations.
Shush Grug hasn't answered yet.
Well? Well Yes.
Right, champagne.
Will you help me with the glasses, Beca? Come on, your sister's just got engaged.
What's wrong? Mair oh, two missed calls.
Two bottles of champagne and How many are we? Eight.
Nine glasses.
You forgot about me.
I tried calling you today.
To tell me about your job in my school? I hadn't accepted it last night.
But you'd been offered it! Don't be angry.
We'll be spending a lot of time together from now on.
Where is she now? Yes, I know Seren likes the girl, but Look, don't worry, I'll be there now.
CHEERING I love fizz.
Hey, Dan.
Speech! I'm a gatecrasher.
He's giving orders already.
Um Right well.
A lot has changed since the last time we were here together.
We've um lost one friend .
.
and met a new one.
And now, two friends have decided to get married.
I'm very happy for you.
Simon and Grug.
I'm so happy to share in Simon and Grug's happiness tonight.
Are you? It's alright.
Are you looking for anyone special, Marc? I stopped looking a long time ago, Arthur.
Come on .
.
you never know who's around the corner.
Seren? Seren? Where is she? She's asleep.
She wanted to come home.
Get out.
She saw me outside.
You said I could look after her.
I don't want you anywhere near my house again! You have no right to come into my home like that! I didn't know where else to go.
I didn't know what had happened.
Mam threw me out.
Seren was excited to see me.
I didn't think I don't have anywhere else to go.
I thought you'd understand.
I went to a wedding in a lighthouse once.
Was it a small wedding? I'd like something unique.
Mam will insist on a chapel.
My fiance and I arranged to get married in the Bahamas.
Oh, that's romantic.
We broke up a week before take-off and I lost my deposit.
Is there anyone special in your life, Beca? I'll get a taxi, Grug.
Don't worry.
I hope I didn't upset her.
Becs.
Beca! You can have a lift with us.
Just come back in for five minutes.
I can't be in the same room as him.
Who? Steffan.
He's the guy I met in the gym last night.
Nerys has gone next door to explain.
Good.
That's what she said.
And she's still talking to you! I don't know why.
Hey Is everything alright? Not really.
I forgot to meet you at lunchtime.
Sara came with me in the end.
Do you want to go back in? No.
# 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 in 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 #
