03x04 - Episode 4

[bunniefuu]

What's our stuff doing here?
I've moved us in.

It'll be fine, Tom.
See you later, yeah?

It's a flaming school
production, Steph!

If they dance without falling
on their faces we'll be lucky.

Smack bottom.

Brett.

I don't think I should
tutor Chlo any more.

Why not?

I've got a lot on myself.

Too late. I'll call you -
every five minutes.

You need a nice hot bath
and a massage.

Oh, you're such a gentleman.

I'm not a gentleman.

Get in, sir! Get in there!

PUPILS JEER

Donte. Donte! We're late!

Da-da!

Ben, five minutes, OK?

I've got something for you.

You know, some of us
have got work to do.

Well, you know what
they say, don't you?

All work and no play makes Jack...

Last week was a one-off.

Em, a two-and-a-half-off,
if I remember correctly.

We have had our bit of fun. How many
times are you going to keep saying that?

I can assure you, that this is the
last time. You see, this isn't you talking.

I know what goes on up here.

I know what makes you tick.

I mean it! There isn't going
to be a repeat performance!

Ooh! Because, I've made plans.

Well, you can unmake them.
..Bridget?

Sorry, I'm really busy.

Look, if you're worried about Davina
finding out... Don't even go there.

Did you want me?

Steph was just leaving.

You'll be back, Jack. I guarantee it.

Bridget.

You can give me some advice.

What do you think of these?

Chlo? You all right?

I'm late, aren't I?

It's weird not having you at home.

At least I'm not always
borrowing the straighteners.

You can take them any time you like.

Tom misses you.

Does he?

It's really sad when it's just me and him.
Maybe you could come round one night this week.

Get him to make a spag bol, eh?

I'll ask Donte.

Did you two sort things out? ..Brett?

Just leave him, Mika. You and Donte,

you're all right in that flat?

Yeah! Course. Fine.

I thought we were walking to school
together. Ben asked me to help him.

Youse make me sick!

You wanna get with Bolton - and we
can hang out together after the match.

I'm not going out with Bolton so I can
watch you two slobbering over each other.

Look, are you going to help me, or
not? What do you think? You're such a girl!

Ah!

What did you do that for?

Do you know how much this cost me?

Thanks anyway. Bye.

You all right?

Gone and lost my deposit.

The honeymoon suite. Jacuzzi,
rose petals, bottle of Cava, the lot.

Only good thing is, at least I got it at a
discount price on account of us being newlyweds.

Are you going to bring
me up to speed here or...?

Supposed to be for Jack.
Hang on. I thought he was seeing...

Everyone knows Davina can't give him
what he really needs.

And what's that exactly?

A night in a Travelodge in Chorley.
BELL RINGS

Don't suppose you... What?

Well, save me losing me deposit.

You are insatiable.

Oh, well. Worth a try.

That for someone special, Steph?

No! But there's no harm
in trying, is there?

Perhaps she has
found herself a fella.

Might stop her pining after Jack.

So what about you? What about me?

Any significant other?

Sir, it's Ben. Come quickly,
he's hurt himself.

I'm fine. Oh, my God, it's bleeding.

What happened? He fell off that
scaffolding. He could've been k*lled, sir.

Are you all right? It's just a little cut.
I'll deal with it. I'll get the first aid box.

Right. Right.

Let's have a look at you. I'm fine.

OK, I'll be the judge of that.

I'll be all right. All right,
all right, come here.

That's a nasty cut you've got there, buddy.
Right, you two better run to class, OK?

He's going to be all right,
sir, isn't he? Yep, he will be.

Where are you two going?
You're late. It's not our fault.

It's Ben - there's been an accident
in the art room. Is he all right?

He's cut his head and then
there's blood everywhere.

Where you going, miss?

Never mind. Just get to class.

Do you think I'm going to get in
trouble for this? I shouldn't worry.

I only left him for five minutes.

Em, why don't I take over?

I think I'm in enough
bother, don't you?

Mate, I reckon we're going to
have to take you to hospital.

It feels much better now.

It's going to need stitches.

Looks like we've both
been through the wars.

Tell you what, I'll take Ben up
to the hospital. No, it's fine.

No, honestly, it's no trouble.

Em, Matt, why don't you get
that cut checked out as well?

It's only a scratch. I want you back
painting the set by lunchtime, OK?

Don't worry - it'll be all right.

You all right, man?

Yeah, yeah, just banged my head.

You gonna be OK for that game
on Saturday? Course he is.

And Bolton, you're late.
Straight to the cooler.

Don't you think you should say
something? Leave the worrying to me.

What about my mum?

Pass your phone?

That's her work.

Yes, hello, I'd like to leave
a message for Mrs McNulty, please.

It's Steph Haydock
from Waterloo Road.

It's just to say that her son has had a knock to the
head, but it's absolutely nothing to worry about.

Yeah, if you would - on this number
please, thanks. Bye.

There you go.

Now I don't know about you, but I don't want
to get back to this place until lunchtime.

I hope you're behaving yourself.
How'd you mean?

In your own flat. Schoolwork's
the last thing on your mind.

Living on your own isn't
all it's cracked up to be.

You could always
think about coming home.

What about Donte? He'd understand.

I don't want to upset him.

You've got to do
what makes you happy, Chlo.

But he'd be dead upset.

Well, I think he'll survive,
don't you?

What was that for?

Just felt like it.

How about I have a word with Donte?

You won't tell him
I said anything, will you?

You leave this one to me, yeah?

CHATTERING

Can I help you? I got a message
at work. My son Ben hurt his head.

I tried Miss Haydock
but her phone was switched off.

You've just missed them.
She's taken him to A&E.

Is it serious?
Just a precautionary measure.

And Miss Haydock dealt with it?
No, Mr Wilding.

But Miss Haydock was there, wasn't she, to
oversee everything? Oversee what, exactly?

Bridget, anyone wants me,
I'm in a meeting. OK, Jack.

And where are you going?

Never you mind.

You're up to something.

What makes you say that?

I can tell. Well, first you encourage
me to go off on that course.

And now you're sneaking
off to have secret meetings.

Is there something
you want to tell me, Jack?

Like what you got up to
when I was away?

A lot of paperwork and
a very large bottle of red wine.

Hmm, and here's me thinking
you were up to all sorts.

Chance'd be a fine thing.

Well, maybe you could
swap tips with Steph.

She's got this new bloke
on the go, apparently.

Not interrupting anything, am I?

Your timing is as impeccable as ever,
Eddie. I just wanted to talk to you...

I got a message that you
wanted to see me. He's first.

If this is about what happened this morning, I only
left Ben for a couple of minutes. What did happen?

He knocked his head
so I patched it up. No harm done.

Why? What's wrong? I've just been
informed - Ben's HIV positive.

Right, you're gonna have to tell me
what happens before Clarkson gets here.

You all right, babe? Look like you're
on a different planet or something.

I'm just a bit tired. That's all.
It's about Brett, innit?

What d'you mean?
Ever since last week

you've been acting dead weird.
In jacking in the tuition and that.

I know you're worried about what Miss Haydock's
going to say. I don't give a stuff about French.

I can talk to Mike, put him straight.
Why can't everyone just stop interfering?

Right, I want you
to get into pairs, please.

We're going to be looking at
Act II, Scene 1.

Chlo, do you want to sit with Fiona?

What about me, sir?

Looks like you're going
to be working with me.

OK. I want you to identify each insult that Benedict
throws at Beatrice, and what he means by it.

Then I want you to think about
what motivates him to say it, OK?

Well the thing is, Tom, sir, I didn't actually
read it. Now why doesn't that surprise me?

How's the flat going? It's mint.

Really? That's not what Chlo says.

She didn't say anything to me.

She wouldn't, would she? All this turning
up late, falling behind with your work...

Chlo's going to be lucky
if they let her finish the year.

What do we need to do to convince
you to move back to our house, eh?

We're staying where we are.
Chlo needs her family now.

She needs to get her
A-levels, make her mum proud.

Why would you shell out all that money
when you can stay with us rent-free?

And if it's privacy you want, we'll convert
the loft, give you your own bathroom.

I don't need to say
all this to you, do I?

You know Chlo better than anyone.

We just want what's
best for her, right?

♪ And I wonder where you've been

♪ Spinning out of space and time. ♪

Matt! Matt!

I need to talk to you
about why Ben was left unsupervised.

His injuries could have been a lot
more serious. We were lucky today.

Lucky? The school is lucky if I
don't make a complaint about this.

Why didn't anyone tell me he was HIV
positive? That's what I'm trying to find out.

Did you know? No. As far as I'm
aware, Steph was the only one.

Sorry, rewind a minute. You're
saying Steph knew about this?

As far as I could gather, yeah.

Why the hell didn't
she say anything? I don't know.

She watched me
and didn't say a word.

Sorry, you've lost me now -
watched you do what?

I patched his head with a cut hand.

I couldn't just leave him, could I?

So... what do I do?

I'd call your doctor.

You're saying I might be at risk?

Just a precaution.

Well, where you going? To see Jack.

I'll be all right, won't I?

Call your doctor.

Hi. Hello.

Have you heard
how Ben McNulty's doing?

Why?

Well, he was taken into
hospital, wasn't he?

Yeah, just a cut to his head.

Have you ever heard of post-exposure
prophylaxis? Me neither.

Matt, what's going on?

Ben McNulty is HIV positive,
apparently.

I caught it on a nail.

Occupational risk, you could say.

But if you'll excuse me,

I've got to go to hospital
and be pumped full of drugs.

Not so much as a sniffle
according to this lot.

Why didn't Steph tell anyone?
Maybe his parents told her not to.

You mean I could have a kid in my school with A*DS
and I'd be last to know? HIV. Same difference.

Very different.

How did he get it anyway?
He's only a kid.

His birth mother, apparently.

She was a drug user.

ANSWERING MACHINE PLAYS

What on earth made me put
Steph in charge of pastoral care?

Pains me to say this Jack. But I don't think
this is her fault. Non-notifiable disease.

School policy. You'd probably find it in one
of them circulars you like to file in the bin.

Yeah, well, non-notifiable or not.
She should have told someone.

This isn't fair, miss.
We're supposed to be doing drama.

Right, em, Mr Wilding didn't
leave me any work to do,

so instead of wasting time, we
could look at some w*r poetry.

I want you to all read this poem
and pull out all the negative adjectives.

Where is Mr Wilding, miss?

He's taking Ben to the hospital.

I thought Miss Haydock went with him.

Look, can we just
concentrate on the first stanza?

Why does it need two of them, miss?

Ben's not dead is he, miss?

Why'd you say that? My uncle banged
his head off the side of a pedalo.

Five hours later he was dead.

From banging his head?
Run over by a car.

Ben's absolutely fine.

Can we call him, miss?

Do you know what? I've had just
about enough chatter for one lesson.

I want you to all work in silence picking out
the key words that sum up the mood of the poem.

She's hiding something.

How can you tell?

Just can. Something's up.

Hey, I was thinking. We could go shopping
on Saturday. Get some throws and that.

I know what you're doing, you don't
have to keep pretending to me.

What are you talking about?
The flat, all right?

I know you hate it.

That's not true.

Ah, so you don't wanna
go back to Tom's then?

Ah, you two are off your head. I'd
do anything to get away from my mum.

Oh Chlo, I'm sorry, I didn't mean...

Oh, it's OK.

Just think of the money
we'd save, all right?

A couple of more years in this
place and we can do what we like.

I mean it is what you want, innit?

To be with your family?

Sorted then.

Wait for me. There isn't time.

Five minutes isn't going
to make a difference.

Easy for you to say!
You're going to be fine.

Oh, so you're a doctor now.

The risks are minimal, Matt.
Yeah, "minimal." Not zero.

Excuse me, I've spoken to my doctor and he's
supposed to have arranged a course of PEP.

What's your name, please?
It's Matt Wilding.

Take a seat.
I'll be with you shortly.

It's all right. Keep calm.
Everything's going to be fine.

What makes you think
there's something going on?

Come on, there's nothing in here. You're
gonna get us in trouble. He left it on.

Ben's our friend, Aleesha.

We've got a right to know.

What's post-exposure prophylaxis?

HIV? That can't be it.

Have you ever seen Haydock
run anywhere? So?

Why'd she go all funny
when I told her about Ben?

What is it with women? They say one
thing, but mean something else completely.

I'll take your word for it.

Eh, you and Chlo, you seem
to be getting on sound.

Why'd you go and upset her?

It's complicated. Look, if I talk
to her, right, get her to promise

to work dead 'ard, would you
start doing French with her again?

Did Chlo put you up to this?

Nah, I just want her to do
well, y'know? Make her mum proud.

What are you two talking about?

Well, Brett's said that he's going to
start helping you with your French again.

But I don't want to do French.

Oi, I've done you
a favour, haven't I?

So why you can't you do this for me? Right Brett,
any problems with this one, and I'll sort her out.

When did you start caring about me doing
French? You're the one with the brains, Chlo.

I'm not going to have people
saying I'm holding you back.

This isn't going to happen.

Fine by me - wasn't my idea.

All right?

What? Isn't it about time
you two got over this?

Hey. I thought you might
fancy an early lunch.

I'd love to, but I've got
this jargon to sift through.

Come on, Steph. Answer the
flamin' phone. Is there a problem?

You don't want to know.

ANSWER PHONE: Sorry I'm not in...

Hey, what d'you think you're doing?

Well, if you're not going to give me any attention,
I'll go and find someone that will. You and me.

We're good together, aren't we?

Is this the pills talking, or you?

I'm being serious.

We make a good team.

What is this, Jack?

PHONE RINGS

Steph?

No, can you call back later?

Thanks.

Ugh! One flash of a needle
and I'm out for the count.

Hate these places.

I did try and warn you, Matt.

You stood there and watched me.

I don't think this is the time.

And you are?

It doesn't matter.

I didn't know you were
going to cut yourself, did I?

As soon as I did, I... I was
only doing what I was told, Matt.

I'm sorry...

Sir?

Can we just sort this? Sort what?

You and Chlo. It's like you can't
even be in the same room together.

You'll have to talk to Chlo about that
one. You're supposed to be my boyfriend.

I want you and my sister to get on. So why
can't you just sit down and sort things out?

She's right, you know. We can't
go on avoiding each other.

People might start
to think that something's up.

So what do we do?

We used to be good mates before...

You know. Who's to say we
can't be like that again?

You sure Chlo wants to
move back into Clarky's?

Yeah, course I am.

So why's she got a face on?

Yeah, well she's just stressed
out about work and stuff.

She's been acting weird for weeks.

Maybe she's going off you?

As if. My mum reckons most divorces
happen in the first year.

That was her excuse
for kicking me dad out.

Says he wasn't the man
she fell in love with.

Look, me and Chlo
are sound, all right?

Doesn't matter where we live.
You reckon?

Yeah - and I'll prove it to you.

How long are they going to make me
wait? You'd think I'd be a priority.

Matt.

She's supposed
to be my friend, Carl.

Hi, has anyone explained
the process to you, Mr Wilding?

No, no-one's explained anything.

OK. PEP works by preventing the HIV infection
from establishing itself in the body.

And does it work?

Well, there's no cast iron guarantees but if we act
quickly the chances of the virus taking hold are very slim.

Could you arrange for Mr Wilding
to start his first dosage?

Now, there will be side effects -
diarrhoea, nausea and prolonged headaches.

I don't care about the side effects,
I just want to be all right. OK.

You two heading home? I'm going back to
school. The nurse told you to take it easy.

Yeah, but I want
to get on with my set.

I don't know what's got into kids these days.
I'd give my right arm for a week off work.

This will be all right, won't it?
Don't worry about a thing.

I promised it was going to be
different. And it will.

I'm not going to let him
go through all that again.

Look, stop worrying. But I talked to your
deputy. Yeah, well I'll put Mr Lawson straight.

There's no need for anyone
else to know about this. Thanks.

Donte! Why don't we go out tonight?

I can't, babes. Why not?

Cos I said I'd watch
the match at Jamie's house.

Hey, might as well
have a session with Brett.

There you are, you see? Look how important you
are. They've laid on a welcoming committee.

How are you feeling, Ben?
Fine thanks.

Why don't we go to my office?
There isn't a problem is there?

We'll discuss this upstairs, yes?
Steph, checked your phone recently?

I've had rather more pressing
things to sort out, Mr Rimmer.

Danielle.

Come on, Ben. ]

It's Mrs McNulty's call, Jack. I
have to respect the parents' wishes.

Yeah, look at the good that's done
us. It was a little scratch.

No harm done. Tell that to Mr Wilding. It's
a situation that could've been avoided.

There hasn't been a single case
of HIV cross-infection in schools.

Exactly. It doesn't mean we
can afford to take that chance.

We can't have one person
holding this information.

I don't care what the guides say,
that's not the way this school runs.

I should have been told. Who else
has been told about this?

No-one outside these four walls.

And that's the way
it's going to stay.

BELL RINGS

I think the best thing we can do
is learn from this and move on.

But you have to understand I have
the welfare of all my pupils to consider.

Are you saying Ben's a risk?

Mr Rimmer just means that by allowing
key members of staff to know the facts,

incidents like this can be avoided.

How's that head of yours, Ben?
It's much better now, thanks.

No more larking about in
the art room, eh? Yes, sir.

Let's get off to lunch then.

Ben.

I promise you, you're going to have
nothing to worry about, OK? Yeah.

Mrs McNulty, should you have any
more concerns, my door is always open.

Thanks.

That all got a bit personal. Don't even
open that mouth because I'm this close.

Don't you dare pull
rank with me, Jack.

Because I have played
everything by the book.

All I tried to do was make that kid's
life as easy as flaming possible.

She's right, you know. Yeah, I know.

I'm not going to let her know that.

So... no other members
of staff to know about this.

No governors and certainly no
parents. What if this happens again?

It won't. But if it does, at least we'll
be more equipped to deal with it.

You shouldn't be in here, McNulty.

Why not?
Cos we don't want you infecting us.

What're you talking about?
What's going on?

We let you play footy with us. I even let you
sit by me in class. Is this some sort of wind up?

No, you don't come near us. Got it?

You've said something, haven't you?

I've only told a few people. Wait!

Cos people are saying things.

Like you've got it too.

Well, you did snog him.

What can I get you?
A bit of sausage perhaps?

Or some of this, because I
heard you like a good stuffing.

Oh, and bin all the knives and forks
when you've done with them,

you never know
what you might catch!

I thought you might have
backed me up for once.

I'm sorry. What was that?

Don't push it, Steph.

Jack, look, I know I've messed up
in the past. That's putting it mildly.

But this job means a lot to me.

You could always
make it up to me tonight.

Don't even go there.

But... I mean it.

Have I got you worried, Jack?

Don't be. She won't find out from me.

Bridget!

If anyone asks for me...
You're in an LEA meeting.

Why is everyone staring at you?

Dunno. Is it because of the HIV?

How do you know?
Why is everyone worried?

Everyone knows you can't catch it.
Not if you're careful.

Did you know that only five per cent
of all peas grown are sold fresh?

More than half are canned
and the rest frozen.

Oh, what did you do that for?

You're dirty, McNulty.

Reckon you need a wash. Get your
infected little hands off me.

Ben! Just leave me alone.

I'm sorry. What the hell's going on?

Miss Koreshi, can you deal with Danielle for
a minute? What on earth's wrong with you?

This is all my fault. What is?

It's Aleesha, see.

She got me scared.
Scared about what?

That I might've caught it too.

Come on, let's talk
about this somewhere else.

Ben!

Ben!

You told everyone! I didn't. Then
how come the whole school knows?

I thought we'd managed
to keep a lid on this.

You thought wrong, didn't you? Once
they've had time to digest everything...

It doesn't work like that.
They don't just forget.

They'll be reminding me
of it every single second.

Let's try and make them understand. There's no
point! I'm always going to be the kid with A*DS.

No, you won't. Not with us
there, fighting your corner.

I don't want to fight any more.

I want to be able to go out and play football
and not be worrying about getting hurt.

I want to have a girlfriend and not be thinking about
the day when I'm going to have to go and tell her.

I don't want to know
my CD4 count and my poxy viral load.

I just want to be
like everyone else.

But that's not going to happen though. Because
everywhere I go, this is coming with me.

Why don't we call your mum, eh?

Let's try and sort this out together.
Come on.

Holding hands with a teacher! Do you
want me to go and get my head kicked in?

♪ I can see you standing there
like you know what to do

♪ You are thinking of me
But you haven't got a clue

♪ I can see you're looking
But you're looking at the floor

♪ I don't think I really care... ♪

Not exactly cheap, are they?

SHE WHISPERS

Is it true?

Is what true?

That there's a kid
in my Bolton's class with A*DS?

Can we discuss this in my office,
please? I asked you a question.

I'm not prepared to talk about this
out here. So you're not denying it?

If you're unable to have
a sensible discussion...

If you put my son at risk, I will
sue you and the sodding school.

Hard at work?
Thought I'd get some practice in.

Do you need some help?

Listen, Chlo. The last thing I need
is Donte and Mika chewing at my ear.

So why don't we just
get on with this, eh?

S'pose.

We both know where we stand.

So long as you can keep
your hands to yourself...

Hey! Joke. Then I don't see why
we can't get you through this exam.

Right, see you tomorrow, yeah? See you
tomorrow. Hey, don't you worry, Mrs Smilie.

I'll close up here for you. Ooh, I
don't know what I'd do without you.

Fat old knacker.

I need a favour. I don't do favours.

It's a surprise for Chlo - dinner.
What's that gotta do with me?

I was thinking you could help
me out - give me some recipe.

You thought that
I could nick some stuff?

Y'know I could get the
sack for that, Donte.

You know it's taken me a long
time to win back Rimmer's trust.

All right, look,
it's all I've got left.

I've got a Mrs Dillon on the phone.

She's the fifth parent
I've had in the past half-hour.

[ I'll just put you through.

- PHONE RINGS
- Mrs Dillon. What can I do for you?

I can assure you, we're not
putting any of our pupils at risk.

No, I'm not going to take
anyone out of the school.

You do that.

Thank you, Mrs Dillon. I'll look
forward to your letter.

I think we've got
a situation on our hands.

PEP treatment. Anti-nausea
and anti-diarrhoea.

It's gonna be a non-stop
party at our house.

How you feeling? Like I've got
the world's worst hangover.

Shall I drop you home?

No, I'm going back to school.

But you look like death warmed up.

I don't care actually.

I am not going to miss
a rehearsal for anyone.

I can assure you we are
taking this VERY seriously.

You go to the local paper if you want, you
won't get very far. Why are they doing this?

Bridget, I want a letter going
out to all parents and pupils.

At Waterloo Road, we have made
it our sole objective to guarantee

membership of the school to everyone,
irrespective of needs or disabilities.

We have a strong ethos
of pastoral care, working for

the welfare of all students and
against bullying and intimidation.

People have a right to know the facts, Dan. This is
all part of that Freedom of Information Act, isn't it?

You've got it all wrong. No, I haven't. So
why did you tell me I could have caught it?

Everyone knows you can
catch it through kissing.

But you can't.
I don't know why I believed you.

I've got an important letter for you
to take home to your parents.

Bet they've excluded him.

I want you to treat this
as a friendly warning.

Told you it was about Ben. What are they
going on at us for? This is discrimination.

This is all our fault.

Let's try again. Quelles sont les
menaces majeures a l'environnement?

La menace principale est le
rechauffement de l'atmosphare. See!

All it takes is a bit of practice.

My head's fried. Is that a hint?

How about I give you a lift?
I thought you had a rehearsal?

I've had enough of
this place for one day.

Maybe I should just walk.

All I'm doing is a favour for a
mate. Where's the harm in that?

♪ I had you round tonight
I had you round tonight

♪ I wanna see you there
I wanna meet you

♪ You're going down tonight
You're going down tonight

♪ I wanna feel you there
I wanna feel you

♪ You know I love you
You know I love you

♪ You know I love you
You know I love you

♪ You wanna wait till it's right
I wanna do it tonight

♪ You've got to show me... ♪

Good to be back?
Yeah, something like that. Eddie?

You don't have to worry, I'm
not going to take this any further.

You'll be pleased to hear we're not going to discipline
you for breaking health and safety regulations.

You sure you're all right?
Yeah, yeah, I will be.

Good.

Ladies.

Where's your boyfriend?
He'll be here.

Right, I want everyone in position
for the beginning of Act Two.

Come on.

Look, Ben, I know it hasn't
been the easiest of days for you.

But we are going to do our best to
ensure there isn't a repeat performance.

It's going to take more
than a lesson, sir.

At least let us try.

It's not going to change the way
people think.

I'm sorry, miss,
I know you were trying to help.

How can we proceed from here?

Try to find a different school.

What else can I do?

At least wait
for the dust to settle.

I'm sorry, Mr Rimmer,
but I can't take that chance.

You can't win them all, Jack.

Can't I?

I was going to do
the whole hearts and flowers,

one knee bit, but em,
it's been...

Open it.

What is it?

It's whatever you want it to be.

If this is you proposing, Jack,
then, well, I've had better.

So what do you reckon? Do you
think we've got what it takes?

I've still got the receipt if... Do you
honestly think you're getting this back?

Is that a yes?

That wasn't so hard, was it?
Now that we've set some boundaries.

Oh, I almost forgot.
I've got something for you.

My Father's Glory. It's the most
beautiful book you'll ever read.

You've got so much to give, Chlo.

You've just got
to believe in yourself.

I'll meet you outside, yeah? OK.

So everyone down the pub.
The first round on me.

That's brilliant.
What are we celebrating?

It appears she's mad
enough to marry him.

So congratulations are in order?

Well, you two really
deserve each other.

Thanks, Steph.

It's a bit sudden isn't it, Jack?

Cheers.

We had our fun.

Yeah. Now it's time to move on.

I get the message.

Maybe it's time for me to see
who else is out there then, eh?

It's hardly as if I'm
short on offers, is it?

Good luck, Steph.

♪ Now I've lost forever

♪ What I only just have found

♪ And in this cold and lonely night

♪ I don't know how
to make it right

♪ Just when I thought he... ♪

What's going on?

I just want my sketches.
I'll be gone in a sec.

Good luck, sir.

Rehearsal's over. I'm out of here.

Where you going, sir?

Anywhere you're not.

If you want to be in my show, you can leave your
petty, narrow-minded bigotry at the door next time, OK?

Jack tells me it went
all right at the hospital.

Too soon to tell. Matt, I hope this
isn't going to stop us being friends.

You put me at risk, Steph.

I was only doing my job.

As soon as I knew...

You told me? Yeah.

Too little too late.

Why don't you let me
take you to the pub, eh?

I think we both deserve a drink.

And that'll make it all right?

Help me out here, Matt.

I've just had to put up with Jack declaring his undying
love for that praying mantis. You're my only hope.

It's a shame I'm g*y then, isn't it?

You what? You heard me.

Why didn't you say anything before?

Do you know what? I've just been
asking myself that same question.

Any chance of a lift?

Are you on the pull?

Not any more.

Men are strictly off-limits.

You could get someone dead easy, Lewis
reckons you're well fit for your age. Really?

That's reassuring to know, Maxine.

Ben?

You could stick around, you know.

You'll have everyone
fighting your corner.

I'll come back though.
I'll see the show, like.

Are you ready?

I think your friend's
waiting for you.

Good luck, mate, all right?

Cheers.

Ben!

Are we still on for Saturday?

MOBILE RINGS

Leave it.

MOBILE CONTINUES TO RING

Chlo!

PHONE KEEPS RINGING

When did you get back?

Chlo was a part of this
as well, I never heard her say no.

If this relationship is "the one",
then the truth won't hurt, will it?

I know where the land lies with
you, the question is, does Davina?

Donte! I thought you loved me. I do.

Well, why did you
sleep with someone else then?

You know I love you, don't you? Are you
trying to tell me you're seeing someone else?

Oh, Mika, try not to get too upset, you know,
when she tells you that she slept with Brett.

I'd want to know what I was
letting myself in for, wouldn't you?

You are not going to tell her?
