Original subtitles

This guy's really good. I've actually read a couple of his books.

I don't suppose you want to go with me, do you?

Yeah, I'd love to.

At the party, it felt like there were expectations.

What sort of expectations?

A date night.

A date night?

This isn't working, Dan.

I don't want my daughter going out with some second -rate little drug dealer. I

told you what would happen if you didn't sort this. Well, do it. Go on, Cameron.

Tell everyone about my dirty little secret.

Cameron!

What? When do you walk out this house without even saying goodbye?

I'm late for work.

I think I can go to work.

Or do you want to start dictating that part of life and all?

We're all in paradise.

I wonder what this one...

That is incorrect.

Well, that was nice.

My own son blanked me and never faced over the road if it happens to witness

old thing. I don't want to hear it. Cameron!

I said I don't want to hear it.

What's going on?

Nothing's going on, Nana.

Actually, something is going on, Mum.

Do you want to know what?

Our son has started dating the daughter of a guy who's got a criminal record so

long he needs a sodding index page.

But do you think any of that bothers Jenna? Of course it... It bothers me.

because all she's worried about, as usual, is what Lisa bloody Johnson

I meant what's going on with this.

So what do you think it is?

I don't know, Floor.

Well, it must have been something.

Tell him, Dan, last night you were there. It was like World War III.

I thought they were going to start throwing punches. And Jenna's face when

saw us.

Come on, Dad, you can find out. You've got inside traction.

Inside traction?

Oh, Bird, you know she's sweet on you. Turn on the Harry's charm, get some

gossip. Oh, you mean take one for the team?

Well, I won't quite put it like that, but... Well, I'm sorry, love, but this

booty is not for sale.

Lisa, a word.

What?

Just so I know, are we at any point going to discuss what really happened

night, or are you just going to keep focusing on Jenna and whatever imaginary

scandal you've made up in your head about her?

Dan, I have spent days trying to tell you that we've got a problem, but you

keep on saying, we'll fix it, we'll fix it. I've tried to fix it. You've tried

to pay for over the crap... Cook a meal, pour some wine.

Let's pretend everything's like it used to be. to be. Well, it's obviously not

that nimble.

So, until you're ready to talk about that, I'm going to focus on whatever I

like.

Great session this morning, Fergus. It's a shame Roger couldn't make it.

Yeah. What did he say was wrong with him exactly?

24 -hour book.

No idea where he got the time scale from.

God knows.

Oh, actually, maybe he sold them.

I don't care.

I'm really looking forward to tonight. Yeah, me too.

The guy is hands down the best motivational speaker on the planet.

I can't believe there was no ticket left.

What is wrong with people around here?

I was actually thinking of bringing along one of his books to sign. Is that

really embarrassing?

Not really.

I was going to get him to sign my chest.

Fair good.

Are we a couple of dorks?

Yes. Yes, I think we probably are.

Good. Just checking.

See you tonight. Can't wait.

You know what?

Fine.

Ha!

I'm still your dad, and if your mum knew what you'd be... You don't get to talk

about my mum.

You're not even supposed to be here anymore.

I wish they'd never let you out.

She didn't mean that.

Yes, she did.

Look.

Maybe you're going about this all wrong.

Maybe what you need to do... What?

What do I need to do, Greg?

Have you just had a shower?

Yeah.

Well, I hope you haven't left your towel on the floor again.

Oi, watch it.

Just hoovered there.

You have?

Yes, I have, Smarter.

Most of that dirt's ground in. Not much I can do about it.

Now you mention it, this whole place looks a little ground in.

We should think about giving it a makeover.

Only if I can pick the theme.

You want to go gothic, don't you?

Yes, I do.

Don't get nearly enough biker gangs in here for me.

Well, it's always nice to have something to aim for, I suppose.

In the meantime, you'll just have to put up with these.

Isn't it your anniversary?

I'd completely forgotten.

I'll go and put these in water.

They're lovely, Trevor, thank you.

Morning. What are you doing?

What do you think I'm doing?

I've only just got back here from the gym, haven't I?

Well, you'd better get changed.

I was getting changed.

Well, you'd better get changed quicker and sort your hair out. Did you do that

convention thing at 12?

Eh, what? Hang on a minute. I thought you were going.

Oh, don't make me...

You know how much I hate those convention network -y thingies. So do I.

Well, one of us has got to go.

First there needs to be our present in.

Right.

Your call.

Heads. No, tails.

No, heads. Are you sure?

Final answer.

Tails.

Shit.

Yes!

Lisa wins again.

That's fine.

What are you doing here?

In -face lecture.

Looks like your dad was right, really. I'm a bad influence.

That's not funny.

What's he done?

Oh, he's... I don't want to talk about him.

I was just hoping I could hang out here for the day.

Then if my boss would like it, he gave me a final warning for skipping out

yesterday. Oh.

All right, well, you'll give me a call later?

Mm -hmm.

Actually, do you know what?

It was a crap job anyway.

Oi! Vulture!

Quit!

Fergus, I thought that was you. How the devil are you?

I hear you landed on your feet.

You're running your own company now, aren't you?

Yeah, well, I didn't really have a lot of choice, did I, Brian?

No.

Well, it's obviously doing you good. I hardly recognised you.

Oh, well, I've been very lucky.

I co -manage it with Lisa Johnson.

Well, give her my regards.

It was really low, you know, what you did.

Look, Fergus, Reconnect, it was losing money hand over fist, so... So you just

shut it down, overnight.

Not a word to any of us. No advice, no support, no nothing.

Well, you've obviously done OK.

Well, I have, yeah.

But there were 30 people working in that office.

An employment agency that doesn't actually care about its own employees.

That's a bit of a strange model. Yeah, well, as I said, it was good to see you.

A watched pot never boils.

You are.

Now, staring at that thing is not going to make him video call any sooner.

Not bothered if he doesn't. Not expecting him to.

Then why did you bring it down here?

Because... Look, stop changing the subject, will you? We were talking about

and Amita. There is no me and Amita. Not anymore, obviously.

I told you this would happen if you didn't make a move yourself.

So, where's he taking her on this date, anyway?

motivational speaking seminar.

That doesn't sound like a date.

Well, she certainly seems to think it is.

And Fergus?

What?

Roger. Fergus does know that Amita thinks this is a date, doesn't he?

All right, Mum.

Can I have half, please? Oi, I'm not done with you.

What are they for?

My anniversary.

Yeah?

Obviously, your anniversary today.

Happy anniversary, that's actually why... Oh, stop withering, Dad.

It's not the proper one.

It's from the second wedding.

Right, right, because the proper one's in June. July.

It's good of Dad to remember, though, eh? He must have ordered them before he

left. What are you going on about?

The flowers.

They're not from your dad.

They're from Trevor.

What?

Denise, did the... Paul!

What are these?

The headshots.

The cabbie.

Yes, I can see that, thank you.

Where are the tits?

Tits. Tits, Paul.

Tits. She had two.

Obviously, I wouldn't expect you to know this, but the advertisers will.

Where are they?

Well, they're the headshots, though. Yes, and a very nice head it is, too. I

feel this head.

to about 25 % of my clients. If I want silver twice that, then I'm going to

you to arrange another session, and this time I want tight tops, not tight

shots. Thank you, Paul.

But isn't she 17?

I said, thank you, Paul.

Yes, yes.

And in three years' time she'll be 20 and rich, which is what I'm trying to

you.

You've another corporate this afternoon, same deal as before.

Paul's got a dress for you.

Assuming you haven't screwed that up as well.

I've told you I won't do anything other than what's on the paper.

And I've told you that's all I expect.

Lisa Johnson.

Oh, hello, Mr. Clark. Thank you so much for calling back.

It's just about your admin request.

And there's Lauren Noble, Level 3 NVQ in Business.

Oh, what's the plan for tonight, then?

I know Charlie's away, but what is it? Dinner with the family?

What the hell would I want to do that for?

No, thanks.

Quiet night in.

You can't sit in by yourself on your anniversary.

Yes, I can.

No, you can't.

Look, it's the opening night of Don Giovanni at the Bay Palace. A friend of

mine's the artistic director, and I told him I'd go along.

Why don't you join me?

Go to an opera?

Me?

Why not?

I don't know.

Well, that's settled, then.

We'll leave at six.

OK, then.

Has Dad called?

No.

When he does, are you going to tell him about the flowers?

If he does, I might, yeah.

Trevor and I are just friends.

I believe you think that.

Look, Mum, I worry.

That's all.

You happen to be a... A what?

Nothing. You were going to say a very attractive woman, weren't you?

No.

All right, yeah.

Maybe. And with my dad away, it's up to me to keep an eye on you, so maybe I

should have a word with this Trevor guy.

Afternoon, Dad.

All right?

Oh, Dan, Pauline was telling me that you and a mate of yours did all the

decorating at Lisa's new offices.

Er, Greg, yeah?

I don't suppose the pair of you fancy doing the same thing here, do you?

It's only the main bar area.

A couple of days' work, that's all.

I'd let you set the rates.

OK?

Well, I'll see what Greg says.

Great. Just let me know.

So, this word you're going to have with him, will that be before or after you

take his money?

Oh, hiya. Hi.

I'm sorry to bother you, but that music is a bit too loud.

Is it?

It's hard.

I'll turn it down. Oh, would you? Oh, that's great. Thank you.

Save you having another fight in the street.

Do you want to play that again?

Say what?

What you just said.

You say anything?

Killing you, isn't it? You're just dying to ask me what all that was about last

night. Oh, get over yourself.

If I wanted to watch a car crash, I'd hang around the Bolton Ring Road.

Would you?

Well, I'll tell you what, from now on, you just stay on your own. Don't hit me.

Slap my hand off.

Right, well, why don't you go home, then?

I work here. Well, why don't you go home, then? I work here.

Well, then, why don't you both just go back to work?

My husband's a police officer.

Yeah, my husband's a police officer. Yeah, he is. And we might argue in the

street, but at least we still talk to each other. You what?

Do you think everyone doesn't know about you and Dan?

You think that's funny, do you? Do you?

PCS 09718 requesting a squad car for a 4 .15 on High Roll. Over.

Where are we?

Picking up another client.

I'm guessing that's her.

Oh, hello.

It's Kathy, isn't it? Yeah, Kathy. With a C.

I love your dress.

Isn't this posh?

Dan, how's it going?

It's Greg about.

Come with me.

Oh, Greg!

Your friend's here!

Come on in. Oh no, I was just... Don't be stupid.

Come on in.

How's Lisa?

She's fine.

Barry?

He's, uh... Yeah, he's, uh... All right.

Good.

We should sort out a get -together sometime.

Um... Right!

Well, I'm going to pop down the shop. I'll leave you two to it.

Oh.

There's some lager in the fridge, Daniel.

Help yourself.

This is seriously weird.

He does it on purpose.

Seems to amuse him.

Can't you do something?

That's exactly what he wants.

It's all a game.

But he won't win.

I can ride this out just as long as him.

I thought my life was complicated.

Anyway, listen, um... You know that new owner of the dog?

He's asked if me and you fancy doing a bit of a decorating job on the bar.

All cash in hand, off the books.

Oh, Greg, this is ridiculous. He gets to come and go as he pleases. I mean, what

do you think he'll do?

Change all the locks?

Initiate a coup?

Technically, this is still his house. Technically?

Look, will you just think about it?

Hello?

She's what?

I've never been to a big party before.

Not a proper one. Like, I had parties back at home, obviously, but not like

this. It's like a prom, innit? Like, off the telly.

This is very tight. I think they got my size wrong, but Wanda said it looked

great. Ain't she lovely? I didn't know the job involved doing this sort of

thing. I said we get paid for going to a party.

And she said, yeah.

So what actually happens at these parties? What am I going to have to do?

Nothing. Just walk round, smile, make sure everyone's having a...

I can't do this.

Sorry?

Turn round. Take us back to Lathes.

What are you on about?

We're supposed to get you to the hotel by half past. I don't care.

What were you doing?

I said turn round now.

Hello. Oh, Dan.

They got hold of you then.

Come on through. It's all right.

City Wanderer fans having a way game today.

But half a dozen of them only got about as far as the train station. It does

mean that Jenna and Lisa ended up in the same cell, though.

Well, that can't be a good idea.

Worse than separating them and sticking them in with a bunch of BSL football

millions.

Dan!

Where's Cameron?

Um, I don't know. I've just got here.

What's happening? Are you going to post bail or what?

Post bail?

She thinks she's in my device.

When am I going to get out?

I'm just checking on that. Lisa, what exactly have you done?

Me? I didn't do anything. It was her.

Excuse me?

You were the one who came around and you knew exactly what you were doing.

They had some

shoving match outside their shops.

A couple of jobs where I decided to make an example of them.

Truth is, there's no real reason to keep them any longer.

But, officially, we are permitted to hold anyone up to 24 hours without

What are you saying?

What else? Are we ever going to get these two in a room together?

Look, Dan, I'm sorry, but I've had about as much of this as I can take.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Till they sort out this food thing of theirs, none of us are ever going to get

any peace.

And I don't know about you guys, but me and her have got more important things

we should be worrying about.

Yeah, and us.

It's got to be worth a try, hasn't it?

No, it's fine.

It's connected. Look, you see that symbol there? That means it's got a

Hmm.

OK.

Thanks.

So?

Ewan's told Arkham 5th, eh?

Saw that coming a mile off.

My dad doesn't approve of him, and his parents don't exactly approve of my dad.

War in families and star -crossed lovers, eh?

Sounds like a Shakespearean tragedy.

Something like that, yeah.

You'll be wanting some dinner later, then.

Er... On the house.

Payment for your IT consultancy.

Thank you, Mrs Jonathan.

Denise, aren't you meant to be, er... Wait here.

OK.

Barge in here unannounced.

Paul!

Never mind, Paul.

What do you think you're doing? That girl is 17 years old.

You know full well the kind of things that happen at those parties.

Like I told you before. Oh, shut up.

Do you know what's happening?

and the Brundys and the Zoes.

But a teenage girl? When I discovered her, she was just another witless high

school dropout who'd been kicked out by her parents and was practically

homeless. She's got no common sense, no qualification, and no future. All she

has got is her looks.

And if I hadn't stepped in when I did, all they'd have got her is pregnant.

Some people actually appreciate the opportunities I give them. Obviously,

not one of them. So from now on, you may consider yourself persona non grata.

Denise. Fired?

You're my agent. You work for me. So you consider yourself personally non

-grated.

And you needn't think you're taking that dressing.

Cassie.

You're horrible.

Thin wall.

Come on.

We'll leave him.

One pate a la flemme coming right up.

That felt really good.

Yeah. What should I do now, though?

Cassie, you can do anything you want. Don't listen to her.

Yeah.

No, wait, I mean, what do I do right now?

I was living the travel lodging. Wanda probably won't pay for that anymore,

she?

Oh, no,

she's fine.

She misses you too.

I sound what?

I think it's just a line.

I'm okay, I promise you.

We both are.

Of course I wouldn't lie to you.

Okay.

I love you too.

I'm parked right outside now, Amita.

Yeah, right. See you in a minute.

Fergus, it's Brian from Reconnect. I'm from this morning.

Look, what you said, that took some balls. So, some of us were talking

afterwards and basically we want to offer you a job. It's a new branch we're

opening up. It would mean a bit of commuting. We're talking team of 20, you

the top and easily twice what I happen to know you make now.

Why don't you ring me tomorrow?

Hiya.

I've brought the book. I hope you've brought your cheque.

What?

Oh, yeah, right.

Here we go.

Put it down.

Did you take this?

It's good?

They look so alike, don't they?

She's the only reason I'm here, you know.

Hello.

I never realised no one could change so much in a year.

She hasn't changed.

Well, you don't see it.

I mean, I thought they were alike before, but now... She's just like her

at that age.

That's when we met, you know. She was 19, I was 21.

You wouldn't have liked me back then, Greg.

I don't like you now.

Her dad couldn't stand me.

None of her family could.

They had me shushed from the start.

So I took her away from them.

I took her away and I ruined her life.

Look, Bradley, I don't know exactly what it is you're trying to say, but... Yes,

you do, Greg.

Come on.

If Ella's the young Tanya, then what does that make Finn?

This is different.

And I should just take that risk, should I?

Pretend history doesn't repeat itself?

So like I said, that's why I'm here.

And that's the only reason I'm here.

I don't know why, but I thought for some reason you deserve to know that.

Do you want to go to the pub?

38 cracks up there.

I'll be there with your woman then, shall I?

I'm sorry.

But only for what I said about you and Dan, that was below the bell.

I'm still not sorry for shoving you. You deserve that. You slapped me.

You pointed at me.

Slaps worse than a point.

Alright, I'm sorry that I slapped you.

Okay then.

But I apologise first.

Judge, do you remember that?

It was about Philip, you must know.

Last night on the close.

He started dating that Eleanor next door to you.

I don't want to speak out of turn or anything, but there's some things you

probably know about that neighbour of yours. Oh, I know all about Bradley

Dawson. Don't you worry about that.

They have left us here, haven't they?

Yep.

Cheers for the lift, Dan.

Oh, no problem.

So, here comes the hard part, then, eh?

Breaking the news to the relatives.

I suppose you've got to do that sort of thing all the time.

Oh, finally.

There you are. I've been sat on my own all day.

Hey, listen, Mum.

Jenna's not back home tonight.

She's in jail.

Did you get the batteries for my remote?

Got them right here.

Never gets any easier.

Right, see you later.

You've done what?

I knew you'd overreact.

Didn't seem to bother your girlfriend when we told her. Cos she's as mad as a

bin full of crabs.

That's not an expression.

And she's not my girlfriend.

Look.

You know what they've been like. This is the best thing for both of them.

And Lisa needs to clear her head. We've both got more important things to be

worrying about.

You have now.

I'd enjoy that big, comfy bed, Dan, because when Lisa comes home, she's not

going to let you anywhere near it for the next ten years.

Hey, and you're not sharing mine.

Hey,

you just pictured us sharing the bed, didn't you? And I'm not happy with that

either.

She'll thank me for this, Baza.

Ooh,

looking classy, Mr J.

I'd pretend to be modest, but I can't be bothered. I don't rock this.

I don't want to alarm you, love. Your dad's just arrived with Greg.

What? Right.

Grab your plates. Through that door up to my flat. Go, go, go.

You can hide there till they've gone.

Don't look in the drawer under the sink.

Calling. Now then.

Everything all right?

Actually, yeah.

Yeah. Maybe.

Oh, wow!

Is it operary enough? More than enough.

Oh, Trevor, this is Greg.

Oh, you're Greg. Ah, did Dan have a word with you about... Yeah, he did, yeah.

And?

Yeah, well up for it. Just say the word. Excellent. Well, the sooner the better,

really. I'll have a word with Dan in the morning.

All right.

Shall we?

We shall.

So did it inspire you?

As a matter of fact, it did, yeah.

I thought about a lot of you on that talk.

Do you think he's right?

Do you think the worst crime we can ever commit is allowing fear, nerves or

guilt to stop us grabbing hold of a real chance at something that comes our way?

I do, yeah.

Do you want to come in for a coffee before you head off?

Hmm?

Oh, no thanks.

I'd better be getting off home. We've got to be up for six for a run, haven't

we?

OK, then.

See you there.

Yeah, bye.

Oh, is this your flat, then?

Oh, it's great.

Oh, look at this wooden floor.

I'd love a place like this.

Did you pay the walls? They were like that when you moved in.

Um, why don't you drop your bag over there? I've got to put Josh to bed and

afterwards I can make this offer up for you. Yeah, yeah, great.

It's big, isn't it?

Oh, and your kitchen's just there.

Oh, but this place is expensive.

Oh, isn't it cute?

What did Bradley mean when he said... You want to know the secret?

I'll tell you.

My husband used to be a DI.

Right.

So what does he know, then?

Well, he's obviously not a detective inspector, is he?

Well, how would I know?

They don't wear uniforms, do they?

Did you never watch the bill?

No, I didn't.

There was this case, see?

A bigger one.

Not a drug thing or a gangland thing or anything like that. Just one single

middle -aged man living alone in a bungalow with a load of photographs.

Photographs?

On his computer.

Oh. Yeah. Oh.

Any police officer worth his salt would tell you an arrest like that means more

to them than half a dozen armed robbers.

And this one was camp.

And on the day of the hearing, the entire thing just got dismissed.

somewhere had signed a search warrant in the wrong place and basically

everything they had was inadmissible.

And the worst of it was it was Cameron who had to drive him back home.

So, the way he tells it, they were driving along, not

speaking, not saying anything.

And I don't know, I guess the sun was bright that day or something and Cameron

pulls down the visor.

And there was a little photo he keeps clipped on there.

To Lisa, she was about one at the time.

And this thing looks up and he's there.

Cute kid.

Jesus.

Cameron himself doesn't even really remember what happened next. He says he

remembers pulling the car over, getting out and... I mean, it's not as if he

killed him.

So they gave him a choice.

Take redundancy or take a drop down the ranks.

The wage cut, of course, meant we eventually had to move.

Down the side.

Should have been the place we used to have.

Don't miss it, though.

But just not about there.

The minute they saw him start walking out the house in a uniform again, they

didn't want to know.

They'd made up their minds.

Obviously, you know the copper on the fiddle.

Probably the same thing Bradley thinks, dickhead.

See, sometimes Cam gets the wrong idea.

He thinks I'm somehow embarrassed by all this, but I'm not.

I'm all proud of him now that I ever was.

I just don't see why we have to explain ourselves to anyone, that's all.

I would be too.

We'll be what?

Proud of him.

Not bloody proud of him right now, though.

When I get out of here, I'm going to stick my boots so far beside it, it'll

leave footprints on his tonsils.

I'm not going to waste any of my nice boots on Dan.

not when his head could fit up there just as easily.

You really don't have to walk me to my door, you know. Good etiquette is a

burden I must live with.

Do you know, even a sentence like that doesn't sound so fancy compared to the

evening I've just had.

Oh, it was lovely.

Thank you, Trevor.

And you were right.

Much nicer than being stuck in on my own.

My very great pleasure.

Right, then.

Tomorrow, we'll get on to Dan and Greg and...

It

was a mistake, wasn't it?

It was.

I'm sorry, Trevor.

The apology's all mine.

I meant no disrespect.

I should go.

Trevor?

I really did have a nice night.

So did I.

Take me someplace where there's music and there's laughter.

I don't know if I'm scared of dying, but I'm scared of living too fast, too

slow. Regrets, remorse, hold on. No, no, I've got to go.

No starting over, no beginning time, raise the dawn.

Just got to keep on moving on.

Got to keep on going, looking straight out on the road. Can't worry about...

What's behind you is coming for you further up the road.

Try not to hold on to what is gone.

I try to do right what is wrong.

I try to keep on keeping on.

Yeah, I just keep on keeping on.

I hear a voice call, calling out for you.

These shackles I made in this town to be free.

Having no idea what or where I am.

Something good comes with a bad.

It's all never just sad.

It's hope.

It's a silver light.

Show me my silver light.

I tried to keep on keeping on.

Calm down. It's not like she's in strange ways.

She might end up there once she's murdered you.

Two -day luxury spa break. All bought and paid for.

And you can start tomorrow and finish Sunday. Yeah, yeah, sure. No problem,

yeah. Just put the last two pieces in place.

I need to get Barry here home.

Take him upstairs and ride him like a wild stallion. Spend the weekend with me

and we'll vanish for a couple of days.

Vanish where, Fen?

When? Are you just going to admit that we need help?
