Now, Miss Lowe's a bit poorly today but she left me a note saying I was to ask you to be my special secret helper.
So, do you think you could write me up a list of everyone who's good and everyone who's naughty? Because I'm a bit nervous about the naughty ones, you see.

Thank you.
Can't give you any money.
Ohh! And? How was Monday? Oh, you know, same old.
He talked about himself, and I bought him some chocolate and then, yeah, he talked about himself a little bit more, and then I bought him some coffee, and then, yeah, he talked about himself until it was time for me to go, so You should say something.
Yeah, like, "Listen, I need you to be more interested in my life"? Yeah! No, no, no, no.
You know he doesn't mean anything by it.
He just doesn't think.
Any time you want me to come with you, it's absolu No.
I know, it's No, no, no.
Another bottle, madam? No! Do you know him? Who? Yes.
No, no.
I mean, no, no Do you, or don't you? He's a teacher at the boys' school.
Very nice.
Yes, he is.
I can see.
No, I mean, he is actually a very nice person.
Who cares when he's got a face like that? Right, off you go, then.
Get over there.
No.
I'm not go No, I'm not going over.
You need to get a life.
I've got a life! Now move it! Move it.
No, I'm not going over! The pressure on the teachers is ridiculous! Three more bottles over here, mate.
They expect the school to do their job for them.
They have not got a clue.
Haven't got a clue.
I'm telling you.
Half the parents aren't fit enough to bring up dogs, let alone children! Asking us what's wrong with their kids? "Why can't our Wayne do this? Why can't our Chantelle do that?" What? I take it back.
He's not a nice person.
Oh, no.
Just give us a minute.
He's not.
No, he's not.
He's coming over.
What? He's here.
It's Eric's mum, isn't it? Hello, thought it was you.
Interesting conversation you were having over there.
Teachers are gods and parents are scumbags? Yeah, I didn't really I didn't mean it like that.
What did you mean, then? Well, I was actually talking about my old school, on the Medlock Estate.
That's such cliche.
Useless estate school full of deadhead parents.
Has it ever crossed your mind that the education system might be to blame for poor parenting? That shallow views like yours destroys confidence and feeds cycles of young parents not being able to cope? So if your attitude is anything to go by, then, yeah, I agree with you.
No wonder they're not good at looking after their kids.
Nice shoes.
I studied sociology and politics.
Politics? Yeah, what's wrong with that? Nothing! Nothing.
I'm just impressed.
I don't want to be one, or anything.
A politician.
No, no, I I hate them.
Oh.
Yeah.
So, why spend hours studying it? Well, to understand why I hate them all so much, and you know, I like the history of it all.
You know, how we got here the state we're in.
You know, it just How nobody's bothered about anyone else.
What? Nothing.
I haven't done anything! What? Sam and Billy pulled the head off Maria's doll! I wasn't even there! OK.
But now Mr Evans wants to see you.
OK, you just go and play, and I'll talk to Mr Evans, OK.
He said he didn't do it.
You know, Eric? He didn't pull the head off Maria's doll.
Yeah, I I know.
Oh, it was just that he thought I mean, Eric, he thought he was in trouble, so Oh, no, no.
I had a great time the other night.
Yeah.
Yeah, me too.
Yeah.
Really, really great, very nice.
Can I see you again? Well, what about this? What about it? Well, isn't it a bit weird? This teacher-parent thing.
Well, Miss Lowe will coming be back soon.
I'll be moving on.
Oh Oh.
So can I? Yeah, yeah.
Tonight? No.
I can't tonight.
Erm Tomorrow? Tomorrow I have to be somewhere.
Well, whenever whenever works for you and the kids.
Babysitting-wise! I didn't mean bring them or anything.
Not that I, you know, wouldn't be happy to, if if you wanted to.
Or if you didn't have a babysitter.
No, I think I'll leave the boys at home.
Good.
Great.
Not that I don't think they're brilliant company, because they are.
Yeah.
What about Friday? You know the new place by the Dock Road? Yes! Erm, what time? Eight? Yeah, good, great.
Friday.
OK.
Great.
Yeah.
Oh.
OK! How can you not like cucumber? It doesn't taste of anything.
The smell of it makes me It doesn't even smell.
It's a genetic thing.
My dad's the same.
Oh.
Learnt behaviour.
No.
Yeah.
It's passed down in the genes.
Like coriander.
Nurture plays a much bigger part than nature.
I don't know about that.
Course it does.
Kids see their parents doing stuff, hating a certain food, and behaving in whatever way they think is normal, and do the same.
Yeah, I get that.
So that's nurture not nature.
It just becomes their nature.
But some kids behave well differently from their families, though.
I've seen it in the classroom.
They're the ones who end up with their heads messed up because they don't know who to be like.
I'm sorry.
I'm talking too much, aren't I? Yeah.
You should have said! Just demonstrating my superb listening skills.
Where did you read all that, anyway? Nowhere.
I just worked it out.
Ahh, Liv's theory? Uh? I mean, it's all about what you think is normal and what's not.
And I think hating cucumber that's not normal.
Shall we go for a drink somewhere? OK.
We could get a cab into town, or there's a little tequila place round the corner? OK.
OK? OK.
Yeah? Yeah.
Come on, then.
Dad.
Hi, Liv.
It's good to see you, Liv.
Yeah.
You know I've got a day release.
That's brilliant.
Isn't it? That's great.
You know, Eric, he will be so glad to see you! And Kristian The guys have got the whole day sorted for me.
The guys? Yeah.
And that's what you're going to do on your first day out? A good drink, yeah.
I'll need that.
I tell you something, Liv, I won't be rushing back.
What? They'll see me when they see me.
You're going to stay out longer than you should? Overnight, yeah.
They all do it.
Don't you get punished or lose your privileges, or something? Only for a month.
That's all? It'll be worth it.
I wasn't sure whether you'd eaten.
I'm fine.
Oh, so you have eaten? Not really, but Good, cos I've cooked.
Nice photos.
Erm, I meant to hide them.
Why? Face on me mum, she looks mental.
Proud.
They both do.
What, look mental? What about yours? Well, my mum's living in Oslo, so I don't see her that much.
And your dad? He's dead.
Oh, I'm sorry.
No, he died years ago.
We weren't close.
Right, yeah, but So, are we going to eat, or what? You really can cook.
There's more there.
Oh, no, I'm fine.
How was today? Today? Your guy in work? Trevor? Oh, yeah.
Fine.
Good day, then? Yeah.
What's up? Nothing! Just waiting for you to show me around.
Well, you've seen in here.
Yeah.
And you've seen the kitchen area.
Very nice kitchen, yeah.
Thank you.
So that just leaves Oh, the bathroom.
Fancy a bath? I need to go.
Stay.
No, I can't.
Well, when can you? It's hard getting the boys sorted out overnight.
I could come to yours, then? Mine? Yeah, I could come over after they've gone to bed, and sneak out the window in the morning.
No Oh.
OK.
What about your friend? Helen? Yeah.
Couldn't she have them for a night? She seemed nice.
She is.
So, when? Maybe.
When? The weekend? I don't know.
Friday? Aiden, I don't know.
All right.
Just a thought.
Maybe I can talk to her and hear what she has to say.
Yeah? We could go away.
Away? For a night! Dinner, drinks and then I could whisk you off.
I know a great place.
Taking all the girls there, are you? Yeah, there every weekend.
And if the girl's not up to scratch, I leave her there.
Really? Yeah, slap bang in the middle of Wigan.
Oh, thank you so much, Helen.
Yeah.

Be next week, if they manage to pull their finger out.
Well, you've waited this long, so Yeah.
You know, if you've got to leave I'll leave when I always leave.
I'm just saying, it's fine with me if you have to go early.
I know.
Good.
All visitors to this door now, please.
This door now, please! Is it a fire alarm? Someone's done the off, love.
They've gone into lock down.
Look Where are you going? I need my phone.
No access to personal belongings.
But I really need to use it.
Well, you can't have it.
Not until everyone's accounted for.
Look, either you let me out of here or I need to use my phone.
Is that right? Yeah.
You need to sit down.
This is unbelievable.
Thanks, mate.
Is the missing prisoner a woman? That's why we're all in here, isn't it? In case he's secretly one of us? Procedure.
It's not me, is it? I'm not your man.
It's prison procedure.
Look, I have two children waiting for me at home.
Yeah, all right love, you're not the only one.
I'm not talking to you.

We have an all clear.
'Repeat, all clear.

I know yeah, I know.
All right, in a bit, in a bit.
Goodbye, be a nice boy.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Morning, lads.
In you go.
Where were you? I'm sorry, something came up.
Something came up? Yeah, you know, with work and Trevor, and then I couldn't I didn't have access to my phone.
All weekend? No, later I did but, erm But what? Listen, I don't feel that this is I sat in that bar for two hours.
Where were you? Liv? Oh, I get it.
Get what? Right, yeah.
What? You were with someone.
I'm so thick.
No, Aiden, listen What? It's nothing, it's just Huh? Liv, there's someone else? Yeah, there is.
Yeah.
Hi.
Are you all right? Everything OK? No.
What's the matter? Are the kids OK? The kids are fine.
What is it, then? Is it you? You're not sick, are you? I'm not sick, no.
You had me worried there.
I'm sick of this.
What? I said, I'm sick of this.
What do you mean, sick of this? It's not funny.
No, no.
It's just Why are you laughing? All right, Liv, take it easy.
Take it easy? If it's about the drinking I got locked in here last week.
I know, yeah.
Do you think that's funny, too? No, no.
It's just What? You didn't even ring to see if I got home OK.
I had no phone card.
What's up with you? What's up with me? This is what's up with me! Coming here to visit you and having some idiot touch every part of my body every time I go to see you, that's what's up with me! Sitting here drinking watery tea and eating melted chocolate and listening to you talking on about home leave, with no mention of seeing me or your grandsons! That's what's up with me! I didn't realise you wanted me to To what?! To have a normal day with me and your grandsons? Yeah.
Yeah.
Too much to ask, is it? To actually have a normal day.
I mean, what do you know about normality? You think this is normal, do you? It's not! Do you think it's normal to be coming home from school every day and not knowing if your dad's going to be lying on the couch or lying in a cell, is normal? To be driven all over the country when you are 12 years old to see you for half an hour.
That's normal? You know it's not.
This is not a normal relationship.
It's not normal! Liv, I really didn't think you wanted me to see the kids.
How can you think that? Cos you don't bring them in.
It doesn't mean I don't want them to see you.
And anyway, you should want to see them.
You should be desperate to see them.
I am! Well, that's not how it seems.
You don't even ask me how I am.
Liv You don't know, do you? You don't even know if I'm happy.
Liv Can I come in? II won't keep you.
I, um I just want to explain.
No need.
It's not what you think or what I said.
No? It's my dad.
He's in prison, in Lentford, and last week after the visit, they locked everybody in because they couldn't find someone, a prisoner, and it was a disaster.
I couldn't use my phone So that's what really happened.
So he's not dead? No.
Why lie? It's not something I'm very proud of.
Why, what's he done? Drugs.
Trafficking drugs.
And you couldn't tell me that because? It's a very private thing.
Nobody really knows.
Well, I knew.
I didn't know who, but I had a good idea you were seeing someone.
Cos as far as I know, you can't go to Australia and back in a day.
And I'm not the only one who knows.
You can't keep much from a ten-year-old.
Kristian? Yes.
No.
Suit yourself.
What do I know? OK, Simpsons? Biscuits? Yeah! Come on, get your pyjamas, then.
'Hello, this is Liv.
I can't take the phone at the moment, 'so please leave a message after the beep.
Bye.
' Hi.
Hi, Liv it's your dad.
I'm just ringing to say hello, really, and Well, to say that I know Friday wasn't the best visit.
And I don't mean that was your fault.
I know I've been a bit wrapped up with this cat-D thing I haven't been as aware as I should have been.
Anyway.
.
I just wanted to say thanks to you, Liv, for everything you do.
I know it must be hard to be by yourself with the boys, and all this working and studying and I don't know.
It's just, erm I'm not very good at showing it, am I? And I'm sorry about that, Liv.
I'm sorry.
And I do understand why you don't bring the kids in.
I get that.
I really do.
Well Listen, um, Liv don't worry about coming in this week.
Just come in when you've got the time, yeah? I thought, maybe the next time, we could have a little chat about stuff.
Make some plans for the day release, or whatever.
And, um Well, I I called that thing off with the guys.
Well, right Is that me? That's me.
Liv take it easy and take care.
My love.
Elskling.
Bye.
