00:12:56,442 --> 00:12:59,411
-Oh, you're so grateful to Len.
-Och aye.
171
00:12:59,812 --> 00:13:01,677
Have you tried it yet?
172
00:13:01,781 --> 00:13:04,579
-You're the resident manipulator.
-Thank you.
173
00:13:04,683 --> 00:13:07,652
Uh, what about Jenny?
The friendly persuader?
174
00:13:07,987 --> 00:13:10,956
Friendly? All that cat and dog stuff?
175
00:13:11,357 --> 00:13:14,520
You mean, cock and hen stuff?
176
00:13:14,627 --> 00:13:17,653
What, you mean Alec and...? Oh, come on!
177
00:13:17,763 --> 00:13:20,027
No, look back at what happened.
178
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,067
The man was suffering
from total withdrawal.
179
00:13:24,570 --> 00:13:29,303
Two years of acute bereavement neurosis.
Then we came along, challenged him.
180
00:13:30,509 --> 00:13:34,206
There was a big pressure build-up,
then the final catharsis.
181
00:13:34,313 --> 00:13:35,280
And how.
182
00:13:35,381 --> 00:13:37,178
Yes, but you remember the key
to that catharsis?
183
00:13:37,283 --> 00:13:38,443
Aye, the drug we slipped him.
184
00:13:38,551 --> 00:13:40,883
And more especially
the role played by Jenny.
185
00:13:40,986 --> 00:13:43,511
For a while she was Rita, his wife.
186
00:13:44,290 --> 00:13:48,522
So, there must be a keen sense
of association going between them.
187
00:13:48,627 --> 00:13:50,959
Well, if that's so,
why all the squabbling?
188
00:13:51,063 --> 00:13:53,361
What is it, simple jealousy over Greg?
189
00:13:53,465 --> 00:13:57,299
Yes, but above that,
a confused sense of guilt.
190
00:13:58,003 --> 00:14:00,631
Years loyal to the memory of his wife.
191
00:14:01,006 --> 00:14:05,875
-And now?
-And now, fancying our Jen.
192
00:14:07,179 --> 00:14:08,942
(CHUCKLING) Oh, dear.
193
00:14:10,416 --> 00:14:14,045
And so, if you want to get to Alec,
get to Jenny first.
194
00:14:18,224 --> 00:14:19,816
Ooh.
195
00:14:20,759 --> 00:14:21,953
She'll be enchanted.
196
00:14:22,061 --> 00:14:26,054
By the heck. You blokes!
Talk about devious.
197
00:14:26,165 --> 00:14:28,599
(SCOFFS) Not a politician, he says?
198
00:14:28,701 --> 00:14:31,568
-Elementary leadership.
-LEN: You what?
199
00:14:32,538 --> 00:14:35,063
-It's all in the mind.
-Or the gut.
200
00:14:36,475 --> 00:14:38,238
JENNY: Are you drunk?
201
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,079
Far from it.
202
00:14:45,451 --> 00:14:48,420
Seriously asking me
to prostitute myself?
203
00:14:48,821 --> 00:14:50,618
No, just chat him up.
204
00:14:51,090 --> 00:14:54,150
It's no more than you've done before,
remember?
205
00:14:54,994 --> 00:14:59,658
What about Greg,
your friend, my husband?
206
00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:04,731
Two years together. My son Paul.
Does that mean nothing?
207
00:15:04,837 --> 00:15:06,828
Are you telling me that it really means
the same to you, Jenny,
208
00:15:06,939 --> 00:15:08,600
after all this time?
209
00:15:08,707 --> 00:15:10,197
What is that supposed to mean?
210
00:15:10,309 --> 00:15:13,335
Just what the hell
is that supposed to mean?
211
00:15:13,579 --> 00:15:17,276
Well, sending Agnes back to us
instead of coming himself.
212
00:15:18,584 --> 00:15:20,518
-Couldn't help that.
-No?
213
00:15:21,687 --> 00:15:25,555
Come on, Jenny, you as good as
acknowledged it yourself last month.
214
00:15:25,658 --> 00:15:28,354
-What? That was 60.
-Excuse me.
215
00:15:31,330 --> 00:15:33,161
You know, going back to Challoner,
to your son,
216
00:15:33,265 --> 00:15:35,563
instead of meeting up with Greg.
217
00:15:37,770 --> 00:15:40,967
-You're wrong about Agnes.
-Am I?
218
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,973
Just because they've been together
doesn't necessarily mean that...
219
00:15:45,077 --> 00:15:46,772
-No?
-No.
220
00:15:47,813 --> 00:15:48,939
She's not the type.
221
00:15:49,048 --> 00:15:50,345
(SCOFFS)
222
00:15:51,684 --> 00:15:55,142
She's far too hooked on
fulfilling her father's dreams.
223
00:15:56,021 --> 00:15:58,854
All right,
so she may have influenced Greg,
224
00:15:59,158 --> 00:16:01,183
she may have sent him off,
225
00:16:02,161 --> 00:16:04,721
chasing from one end of the country
to the other while she stayed here,
226
00:16:04,830 --> 00:16:07,390
but that's not the same thing as, as...
227
00:16:07,499 --> 00:16:08,557
No?
228
00:16:08,667 --> 00:16:10,567
Well, you know
what a right little madam she is.
229
00:16:10,669 --> 00:16:11,658
What?
230
00:16:11,770 --> 00:16:14,261
Well, I'm glad, really,
about Alec Campbell
231
00:16:14,373 --> 00:16:16,933
and his Scots hang-up. I'm very glad.
232
00:16:18,610 --> 00:16:21,602
It just showed that other people
can have priorities.
233
00:16:21,714 --> 00:16:24,080
Other people can see what's what.
234
00:16:26,318 --> 00:16:29,583
Make her get her pathetic Vikings
over here.
235
00:16:31,256 --> 00:16:32,518
Why not?
236
00:16:34,727 --> 00:16:37,992
Instead of influencing Greg and ordering
him about and telling him what's what
237
00:16:38,097 --> 00:16:41,396
and confusing him and telling us
he's at one end of the country when...
238
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:42,660
Jenny!
239
00:16:44,636 --> 00:16:46,604
When he's the other.
240
00:16:49,608 --> 00:16:52,304
Ordering him about, bossing him.
241
00:16:54,213 --> 00:16:55,840
Keeping us apart!
242
00:16:56,749 --> 00:16:57,841
Oh!
243
00:16:59,752 --> 00:17:01,379
(MEN LAUGHING)
244
00:17:03,922 --> 00:17:05,685
He may need a practice.
245
00:17:05,791 --> 00:17:08,589
(CHUCKLING) Mind the lady's wall,
will you?
246
00:17:16,335 --> 00:17:18,997
Oh, there's a nice little fella...
247
00:17:29,281 --> 00:17:31,579
Poison to me now, this stuff.
248
00:17:31,683 --> 00:17:33,480
Don't let Harper hear you say that.
249
00:17:33,585 --> 00:17:35,212
(HUBERT GRUNTS)
250
00:17:35,387 --> 00:17:37,685
I mean the booze, full stop.
251
00:17:38,157 --> 00:17:42,355
Any sort. What about you? With your...
252
00:17:42,461 --> 00:17:44,019
(MUMBLING)
253
00:17:46,999 --> 00:17:48,261
Your compulsion.
254
00:17:48,367 --> 00:17:50,301
-Depends on your viewpoint.
-What does?
255
00:17:50,402 --> 00:17:52,700
Why don't you get back to them skittles?
256
00:17:52,805 --> 00:17:56,172
I'd like to hear how it was with him,
it's all the same to you, Mrs...
257
00:17:56,275 --> 00:17:57,242
It's not all the same.
258
00:17:57,342 --> 00:18:00,709
Look, like Len said, love,
there's no shame in it now.
259
00:18:01,547 --> 00:18:04,277
Look, I was going to die, right?
260
00:18:05,050 --> 00:18:07,712
Cause, inadequacy. Condition, hopeless.
261
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,349
Except they were wrong.
Death plague proved that.
262
00:18:13,425 --> 00:18:15,086
The trouble with me was their treatment.
263
00:18:15,194 --> 00:18:17,424
-Oh, Sam, leave it.
-It's true.
264
00:18:17,529 --> 00:18:20,464
Discipline, authority,
that's what I needed.
265
00:18:21,133 --> 00:18:23,363
I wouldn't have got to fixing
in the first place
266
00:18:23,469 --> 00:18:24,629
if it hadn't been
for the soft option of...
267
00:18:24,736 --> 00:18:25,896
Sam!
268
00:18:26,205 --> 00:18:29,971
Straight up, I tell you,
the handouts, dole,
269
00:18:30,576 --> 00:18:32,669
hostels, treatment centres.
270
00:18:32,778 --> 00:18:35,212
All you wanted was a quick kick
up your oh be joyful.
271
00:18:35,314 --> 00:18:36,645
Right, mate, right.
272
00:18:36,748 --> 00:18:40,514
Like all them graduate social workers
all coming round bleeding for you.
273
00:18:40,619 --> 00:18:41,643
Mmm.
274
00:18:41,753 --> 00:18:43,243
Easy as touching the street, mate.
275
00:18:43,355 --> 00:18:47,086
Nip out and get your methadone fix
if you groaned loud enough.
276
00:18:47,192 --> 00:18:49,854
Cover for you if the fuzz come round.
277
00:18:50,162 --> 00:18:53,495
And forever telling you
how tough life was.
278
00:18:53,599 --> 00:18:55,760
How it's all loaded against you.
279
00:18:55,868 --> 00:19:00,965
Moaning on about rights
and civil liberties and victimisation.
280
00:19:02,307 --> 00:19:04,901
So what else
are you going to believe in?
281
00:19:05,010 --> 00:19:07,740
Underprivileged, dependent.
282
00:19:08,881 --> 00:19:11,509
They get you so choked up
with self-pity,
283
00:19:12,017 --> 00:19:15,180
you couldn't even button
your own fly any more.
284
00:19:16,588 --> 00:19:19,216
Off to bed, love? Feeding time.
285
00:19:21,493 --> 00:19:23,222
I shan't be long.
286
00:19:26,565 --> 00:19:29,864
Here. She took with the same trouble?
287
00:19:30,302 --> 00:19:32,293
No worse than a couple
of million others.
288
00:19:32,404 --> 00:19:34,372
No direction, no purpose,
289
00:19:34,673 --> 00:19:38,109
so busy being deprived,
she never got herself together.
290
00:19:38,644 --> 00:19:41,579
Why we have to get it
different this time.
291
00:19:41,914 --> 00:19:45,042
Pioneers, that's how they've got to be,
our kids.
292
00:19:45,684 --> 00:19:49,279
Hard, independent,
self-disciplined, resourceful.
293
00:19:50,455 --> 00:19:55,188
All the initiative.
None of your welfare hand-outs
294
00:19:55,294 --> 00:19:59,253
and gutless indifference any more.
295
00:20:00,465 --> 00:20:01,762
Pioneers.
296
00:20:02,134 --> 00:20:06,434
Here. I thought you was going to
blame it all on the generation gap.
297
00:20:06,538 --> 00:20:08,438
-Hmm?
-You know, generation gap?
298
00:20:08,540 --> 00:20:11,737
So what about, what about you?
You and the booze?
299
00:20:11,843 --> 00:20:16,974
Oh, well... Well, like you,
I got the Death to thank, ain't I?
300
00:20:17,549 --> 00:20:20,040
Huh! And mighty obliged I am, too.
301
00:20:21,019 --> 00:20:23,579
I'm a man who's can respect myself.
302
00:20:23,922 --> 00:20:26,356
Thanks all to the squire Vaughan
over there.
303
00:20:26,458 --> 00:20:29,427
-Saved, eh?
-(GRUNTS) Oh, yes.
304
00:20:30,629 --> 00:20:33,689
A young lion to the man
who only wanted a fork.
305
00:20:35,234 --> 00:20:37,259
(BURPS) To the Death, eh?
306
00:20:45,444 --> 00:20:47,036
(ALEC SIGHING)
307
00:20:53,085 --> 00:20:54,382
She's a very...
308
00:20:54,486 --> 00:20:58,718
(CLEARING THROAT)
She's a very sensitive girl.
309
00:21:00,459 --> 00:21:01,790
Determined.
310
00:21:04,730 --> 00:21:06,789
Do you find her attractive?
311
00:21:09,568 --> 00:21:10,796
Stubborn.
312
00:21:14,573 --> 00:21:16,734
She's very worried over Frank.
313
00:21:16,842 --> 00:21:19,174
-You reckon?
-Mmm-hmm. Mmm.
314
00:21:19,578 --> 00:21:21,239
Well, who else, Greg?
315
00:21:21,346 --> 00:21:24,713
(LAUGHING) Greg? No, hardly.
Oh, but of course, you don't know.
316
00:21:24,816 --> 00:21:26,306
How could you?
317
00:21:27,252 --> 00:21:28,719
Well, she's always going on about him.
318
00:21:28,820 --> 00:21:32,085
Oh, of course she is.
He's the father of her child.
319
00:21:32,624 --> 00:21:36,151
But she is also very intuitive.
320
00:21:38,096 --> 00:21:41,065
She knows there's something
wrong with Agnes.
321
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,633
-The Norwegian woman?
-Mmm-hmm.
322
00:21:48,340 --> 00:21:51,400
And Jenny is hoping
to win him back, yeah?
323
00:21:51,510 --> 00:21:55,139
Well, if she is, she's going about it
in a very odd way.
324
00:21:55,247 --> 00:21:57,044
How come?
She's always trying to get after him.
325
00:21:57,149 --> 00:21:58,844
No. No, no, no, no.
326
00:22:00,018 --> 00:22:01,383
Not always.
327
00:22:02,821 --> 00:22:05,949
Last month she had the opportunity.
Big reunion.
328
00:22:07,059 --> 00:22:11,223
She let it go.
She went off to Challoner to her baby.
329
00:22:12,631 --> 00:22:15,759
-That's reasonable.
-No, not for Jenny.
330
00:22:17,803 --> 00:22:20,863
No, I think she knows
there is something wrong.
331
00:22:22,374 --> 00:22:24,968
And I think she has half accepted it.
332
00:22:26,678 --> 00:22:28,111
Or hasn't.
333
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,372
-Dredging it all up like that.
-Don't fret, love.

-Southerners.

-No?

-Yeah.

build what they need.

the place isn't working now?

Because I couldn't allow it.

-Sam.
-It's wrong, you see.

Aye. While it's tough, maybe.

While it's still a job of strength,
it suits me fine.

You mean you manage them by fear?

No, by the example of the sweat, I do.
590
00:35:56,921 --> 00:35:58,320
And a couple of tricks
the old man taught me
591
00:35:58,422 --> 00:36:00,720
about how to run a gang on a coalface.
592
00:36:00,825 --> 00:36:03,589
-Maybe.
-Well, make a definite target quarter,
593
00:36:03,694 --> 00:36:05,286
long-term.
594
00:36:05,796 --> 00:36:08,629
And make sure
that every bloke in that gang
595
00:36:08,733 --> 00:36:11,201
thinks that he's the key to reaching it.
596
00:36:11,302 --> 00:36:14,328
-Individual self-esteem.
-If that's your fancy way of putting it.

Oh, it's good principles, Len.

00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,371
I dare say. Now, you two blokes
want to start this mine up again.

than it is to arrive."

respect it from a man like you.

-You do about pioneers.
-Yes.

00:36:34,992 --> 00:36:36,687

00:36:36,794 --> 00:36:39,627
Yes, yes, but for heaven's sake,

not about destroying
all the plant and machinery

Have to.
609
00:36:45,870 --> 00:36:49,533
Just because it was created by people
that you disapprove of...
610
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,540
-No.
-...people that you resent,
611
00:36:51,642 --> 00:36:53,769
because in some twisted way,
612
00:36:53,878 --> 00:36:55,937
you blame them
for being the way you are.
613
00:36:56,047 --> 00:36:57,071
What?
614
00:36:57,181 --> 00:36:59,172
Yes, that's the core of it, Sam,
isn't it?
615
00:36:59,283 --> 00:37:01,683
That's the basis of the whole thing,
616
00:37:01,786 --> 00:37:03,481
it's your drug addiction.
617
00:37:03,588 --> 00:37:07,024
It is. You were dependent and corrupted.
618
00:37:07,124 --> 00:37:08,853
You were a mess
619
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,394
and you want me to believe
that everybody else was the same as you.
620
00:37:11,495 --> 00:37:14,157
-No! I mean, yes, they were...
-Yes, yes, yes.
621
00:37:14,265 --> 00:37:15,289
-But not like...
-Yes, it is.
622
00:37:15,399 --> 00:37:18,994
It's your past you wanted to wipe out.
Yes, it's your own past
623
00:37:19,103 --> 00:37:20,934
and you're confusing that...
624
00:37:21,038 --> 00:37:22,471
No!
625
00:37:22,573 --> 00:37:25,406
I've learned from it, don't you see?
626
00:37:25,576 --> 00:37:27,771
Learned, like you have to.
627
00:37:29,046 --> 00:37:31,276
It's all right
when the dangers are for real.
628
00:37:31,382 --> 00:37:34,010
Dog packs, scavengers, hunger.
629
00:37:34,118 --> 00:37:36,609
But what happens when they're gone?
That's what worries me.
630
00:37:36,721 --> 00:37:38,484
That's what gets my knickers in a twist,

and nostalgia.

Hmm. And there's no real crisis, eh?
No siege economy.
633

haven't you?

Well, I think I got
the answers, too, Len.

Oh, I'll happen you have.
636
00:37:48,933 --> 00:37:52,232
I think you're, uh,
twisting your knickers unnecessarily.
637
00:37:52,970 --> 00:37:54,437
You've got to get this place
going again, Len.

-What, this...
-It'll be a beginning, not an end.

I could stop them myself.

and the babe.

-Uh, the connecting pipe

-Missing.

Could be.
