Original subtitles

Go on, Alfie!Oh, no! Charley!

Charley, in the space!

I'm open!

Come on! No!

Go on, Alfie! Yeah!

3-0 to the Cockney Boys!

Don't gloat.

You'll get the crowd upset and start chucking coins at you.

Go on, get the ball.

No, we scored. You get it.

Charley, go on, get the ball.

No, look how far he kicked it!

All right, first one to the ball gets a piece of gum.

You nutmegged me.

It was an accident.

I thought you planned it.

OK, I planned it.

You ever wonder if there is one?

What?A plan.

When?All the time.

You know, about everything.

Or is it all an accident that looks like a plan,

but we're not paying attention?

Is this one of those "meaning of life" questions?Yes, it is.

I'm not talking about you and me.

Cos, of course, we were a plan that almost turned into an accident.

Sort of a really tragic one.

Multiple vehicle pile up, burning cars, twisted metal.

Bodies littering the side of the...

Kenny, we were a near miss, not an accident.

But it could all be a plan that looks like an accident.

Yeah. Could be.

It's one of those ones that you can roll around your head.

You get nowhere, you can think about it for a long, long time.

You could, if you had nothing else to think about.

You got any gum?

No.

That could be a problem.

3-0, mate! We're kicking your butt.

Alf, it's just a game, mate?

Don't take it so seriously, eh?

All right.

3-1!Yeah!No!

3-1!

Abby!

Mary needs you!

Oh, OK.

I'd better go.

Cheater!Calm down!

Sorry, mate. You forfeit.

Where's my gum?

WOMAN SHRIEKS

Nine centimetres.

Nine centimetres.

Nine centimetres!

CHEERING

Anyone else? Bets are about to close!

A fiver says it's a girl.

The world doesn't need another man.

And you're sure you've got everything in that bag that

you need?If I don't, it's a bit late to go back now, isn't it?

Oh, that's what I like. A doctor that fills you with confidence!

Everything will be fine.

So you've got a crystal ball in that bag as well, do you?

I knew there was something I'd forgotten!

Will you get a move on, doctor?! I'm gonna miss it!

It only comes round once in a blue moon, and I'm going to miss it!

Bookmaker's closed! How are you doing?

SHRIEKING, CHEERING

# My broken spirit is frozen to the core

# I don't wanna be here no more... #

The doctor's here.

We ought to go down.

Yeah.

Keep breathing. Deep breaths.

Push on the next one.

I can see the head!What?

I can see the head!

She can see the baby's head!

CHEERING

It's like a bloody football match!

What?

Keep on breathing!It's coming.

Where's the bloody doctor?!

What?Oh, shut up, Douglas!

Keep on pushing!What do you think I'm doing?!

A-a-argh!

BABY CRIES

Well done!

More towels.

Did we miss it?

THUD

Could somebody, er...?

You're late!

Sorry.

You're early!

Here he comes!

It's a girl!

CHEERING

Look at you! You're a father!

A whole new chapter of your life just beginning!

Did I...?

No-one else knows?

No.

Oh, thank God!

Is everything all right?

Oh, aye! Mother and baby are doing fine!

We know that, Gordon. It's you we're worrying about.

I didn't tell them.

Feeling better, Gordon?

There you are. That'll put some lead in your pencil.

Aye, but then what'll he do with it?

Open your throat right up.

It's going down in one.

Why don't you go up and see your baby?

I'll get to it in a bit.

That's the wrong answer.

Leave off, woman. Can't you see he's busy?

I guess I can't.

Imagine if you'd ended up with her.

Doesn't bear thinking about.

Ceilidh tonight to celebrate!

And then she called me "a fine example of the weaker sex".

That's good, isn't it?

No! Even I know that's not good.

It's a compliment. "You're a fine example."

Aye, a fine example of something not good.

How am I meant do the manly thing with her when I know that's what

she thinks?

Manly thing? What's that mean? Opening doors and stuff?

You know exactly what my meaning is.

What the hell are you worried about, mate?

I mean, you're a fine example. I'm just an example.

Which makes you better than me.

Well, I did hope to set the bar a bit higher than that.

Well, if you want my advice, Gordon,

when you get ready to do the manly thing, yeah?

Think "revenge".

Oh! It might work.

Stride right up to her, look her right in the eye.

Let her know you've got something to prove,

and you're going to prove it, all night.

You're from the Department of Fulfilment in the Ministry of Love,

and you are there on business.

Oh, that's good.

It's a lot to remember.

One last thing.

When you're about to be manly, yeah...

..don't faint.

Did you have to bring that up?!

Hey, Carolyn.

You did good, eh?

Aye, you did real good.

Look how beautiful she is!

Aye.

What d'you think of the name Isla?

Ida? You're not naming her...?!

No, Isla!

Oh, aye.

Oh, that's better.

Aye, that'll do.

Do you want to hold her?

I think I'll wait for that.

I don't want to break it.

You won't.

No, thanks.

I think I'll wait.

How do I look?

If Marjorie won't have you, I will!

I spent hours in port trying to find the right thing.

No-one needs to know how long you spent, Gordon.

Aye, you're right. Don't want to sound vain.

I'm trying to make the effort.

Oh, no, the effort's definitely there.

I mean, all that's missing is a nice, big, gold medallion.

Yeah.

Oh, don't worry, I mean, surprise her with it next time.

Aye. That's what I'll do.

Best not to show her the whole package all at once.

No, no, no. Save that until later, when you're being manly!

Are you being vulgar?!

Yes, I am, yeah.

But I'm not trying too hard, if you know what I mean?

Do you realise what we're doing here? You and me?

It's kind of boys' talk.

I haven't done that in years.

It's good. Feels good.

You coming to the ceilidh?

Yeah, I might wander over later, yeah.

Uh-uh! The yellow slicker's gonna spoil that look.

Aye, you're right.

Oh, dear!

I'm meant to be collecting Marjorie.

With all this excitement, I forgot to give this to Abby.

Would you mind?

Yeah, no worries. I'll do it.

I shouldn't really. It's against the rules.

I'm meant to deliver it to its destination.

You just did. It's all right.

Cheers!

She must have a pen pal.

Fifth letter she's had off the same bloke.

Wish me luck.

Yeah, luck, yeah.

You look fine.

I don't care how I look.

Should I be finding somewhere else to stay tonight?

Why would you do that?

Just in case you and Gordon want to get frisky.

Frisky? Sounds like a pony.

You know what I mean.

We're two grown adults, we don't get frisky.

If you pinch your cheeks, it makes them glow.

I'm not looking to glow!

I can't believe I'm having this talk with my own daughter!

You're not alone there.

Look, if the porch light's on, I'll know it's safe to come in.

But if it's off, I'll know you're up to something.

Go and get a bar of soap, your mouth needs cleaning.

You're not thinking of stopping at his?

If you can't find soap, then washing-up liquid will do.

And don't drink too much, this could be a night to remember!

Hiya?

Hi. Sailor's delight.

Who told you?

I mean the sunset.

I know what you mean, you pillock!

Or else I'd have said, "Royal Navy's delight"

or "Her Majesty's pleasure".

That's got a nice ring to it.

You coming in?Yeah, ta.

Oh, so, busy day.

It was amazing.

I've never delivered a baby before.

What, Alfie and Charley don't count?

Well, somebody else's baby.

It's a weird, powerful thing to watch.

So is Carolyn happy, yeah?

Over the moon. Love at first sight.

There's that dirty word again.

Whoops! Let me check to see if you're bleeding.

Nope.

See how tough you are?

A heart of leather, me.

I saw Alistair, man! He was white as a ghost!

He looked like he needed a blood transfusion.

He'll come round.

You reckon?Yeah. He deserves a chance.

Just the one?

As many as he needs.

I remember when you and Robbie came back with Alfie.

He was pumped up and proud.

If I'd had a pin, I could've popped him!

Remember he was going round with vomit down his back,

after he was burping Alfie?

He had it all day, we never told him!

He kept saying, "What's that smell?!"

He even called the caretaker and had a go at him.

He was sure there was a dead rat in the walls.

Yeah, that's what I told him.

Alfie had the worst colic.

Yeah, I remember that.

I'd get up in the middle of the night,

and I'd find him carrying Alfie on his shoulder.

Dancing to the music turned down low.

Even when he had gone back to sleep, he'd stand with me, watching him,

making sure he was all right.

I don't think he slept for a month.

Oh, er...

..post.

Well, open it!

Don't you want to see what he wants?

No.

Well, I do.

It's none of your business.

No. I know, I know.

So, he doesn't think we're playing happy families up here?

Why would he think that?

Cos it suits you?

Did you read it?!

No! Course not.

He walked out on us!

He never sent a penny for the kids, never cared what happened to us!

Robbie is a bastard and I don't give a toss what he thinks.

No-one can blame you for that.

Exactly!

Except Alfie and Charley,

later on, you know, whey they grow up.

When they find out he tried to get in touch with them and you wouldn't

let him.

And they realise that in that warm-hearted soul of yours,

there's a bitter little spot that's been festering.

I don't want the kids to have anything to do with Robbie.

It was unforgivable, what he did.

It was! I don't like the guy, believe me! I don't like him.

I'm just saying, y'know, what if...

..guessing...

..what if he said that maybe he'd changed?

You did read it.

No, I'm just guessing!

Men don't leave!

And people don't change, do they?

It's like when you were planning to come here, it was all you wanted.

Yeah what were you thinking?

You were thinking, "Right, I know. I'll turn a page, start afresh.

"And then I'm going to stay exactly the same."

That was different.

I was doing it for the kids.

I was doing it for you.

But you know what? I think we both changed.

It was your plan. What happened to me was an accident.

Maybe your leaving was an accident for Robbie too.

The kids don't need him.

Things change. Maybe he needs them.

Now, I know what that feels like.

Kenny, I know you mean well, but my ex is none of your business, OK?

It's funny how you can be an ex-lover and not an ex-father!

There is nothing about this subject that is funny!

As long as you can keep hating him, like you're doing now,

he's just hurting you again, isn't he?

Look, I am just fine as I am! All right?

I don't get it!

Why do you care about Robbie?

Why do you care what that bastard's feeling?! I just don't get it!

I remember you standing on that balcony,

desperate for something more.

I remember it, cos I had exactly the same feeling.

And there was just this hole. It's terrible. Remember?

It washes over me.

You want everyone to have a chance, cos you want to have one yourself.

And he had his.

Maybe...

..but not as many as he needs.

CEILIDH MUSIC

Fancy coming back to my place for a snog?

Would it be easier with the lights off?

I don't want you to feel badly.

Gordon! Are you sitting there asleep?!

I'm thinking.

What are you doing?

I've got something to prove and I'm going to prove it all night.

I'm from the Department of Fulfilment in the Ministry of Love

and I'm here on business.

Gordon!

Good God! It worked.

FRONT DOOR OPENS

I'm home!

And was the light on or off?

Sorry!

LOWING

The Belted Galloway?Aye.

Aye. One of the best we've ever had.

Why are you selling him?

We're planning to sell the farm soon.

Aye.We've had enough.

Aye.What are you going to do?

Move to Spain.Aye.Aye.Spain.

When?

As soon as we sell the farm.

Aye.

And he's done well for you?

Aye. The best we've ever had.

Break my heart to let him go.

Can I have a look?

Suit yourself.

Spain?!

Aye, he believed it.

Well, keep after him.

How are you, big fellow?

Ah, see what I mean?

About what?

A good-tempered beast.

Won't charge at you.

Easy to work with, you see.

He looks to be in his prime.

Aye. You know a lot about bulls.

There'll be no fooling you.

How much?

For 2,000, they'll give me the gear I need.

Based on once a day, that's 400 doses once you dilute it.

That's interesting, Malcolm.

I've got lots of things to do and I promised myself I'd get them done.

At £5 a dose,

£2,000 a day

times 365 days.

That's £730,000 in a year.

£730,000?

Aye.

£730,000?

Aye.

Of course, it's more work for me but I've never been scared of that.

I'm bringing a hired man to help me with the farm.

It's too good to be true.

Course it is.

If it's good, it couldn't happen here!

You know what I mean.

That's what I thought until they told me about this villa in Spain

they're buying.

How do you suppose they could afford that?

Why are they selling him for 2,000?

That was a bit of fancy negotiating on my part.

Had to promise I would look after it,

wouldn't sell it on to slaughter.

I gave my oath that it would die of old age on the farm.

I'd be careful, Malcolm, if you want my opinion.

Of course you'd be careful. That's who you are.

You're just like the way my father was.

That's why I value your opinion on business matters.

I've been in business a long time.

Yes, you have.

Being in business, you know all too well that if you're too careful,

opportunity passes you by.

If you don't risk, you don't get anywhere.

By the way, Douglas, do you speak Spanish?

BEEPING

I was thinking of learning Spanish myself.

Kenny! Are you still in bed?!

No.

There's boxes on the jetty need delivering.

Well, they can wait.

You know, I worry about you.

Join the club.

It's pretty exclusive.

It's just the two of us.

Your life is just passing you by.

I know.

If you know, then why waste precious moments doing nothing?

I'm not doing nothing.

Oh, no. Course not!

I'm visualising.

That sounds like a big word for daydreaming.

I'm trying to figure out what my purpose is.

You're not alone there.

Do you wonder about that too?

About what your purpose is? Aye.

Is there a plan for me?

Well, if there is, it's a good secret.

Still, tell you what,

that was some mean fiddling last night, Gordon.

What?

At the ceilidh.

Oh, aye.

How are you going to afford it?

I've got my savings,

and Mrs McGowan's going to give me £500.

She is? Marjorie?Aye.

Marjorie?Aye!

She's tight, but she knows an opportunity when she sees one.

I'm going to ask the bank for the rest.

500?

Aye.

I could let you have 500.

I don't know, Douglas.

It's kind of you, but it means I'd be sharing half my profit between

you and Mrs McGowan.

Oh, come on, Malcolm. You can't let her invest and not me!

You're no good with risk.I AM! You're a friend. It might go wrong!

If I'm your friend, you'll let me invest.

OK, since you're my friend.

Partner.

And?

I've got to speak to Mrs McGowan before Douglas does.

And Douglas is putting £500 in?

Aye, and you know how tight Douglas is with money.

Douglas?

To be honest, he didn't want me to mention it to you.

I see your problem.

Do you?Well, of course. I mean, I have a purpose.

I bring people safely to their destination. I defy nature.

You defy nature?!Aye.

Yeah, all right. I'll go with that.

Now, these are for the shop.

That's it! That's your purpose!

What is?

It's right here in front of you, staring you in the face.

Is it?

You must be thick!Yeah, I guess I must be.

You deliver boxes!

And that's it?

It's what you do, isn't it? Perhaps it's not as noble as my purpose, but

you wouldn't expect it to be.

I was hoping that I had a higher purpose than that.

Why?

Because.

Well, if you do, then why are you wasting your time delivering boxes?

I think we're back to the beginning, mate.

What's that?

Oh, that's for Malcolm.

Well, he'll have to come down and fetch it with his tractor.

Go on, open it.

What is it?

I haven't the heart to ask him.

Do you want to?

No, thanks, scared what he might say.

I've got it!

What?The answer to your question.

Keep it to yourself. Whatever you say is bound to depress me.

You're a utility man.

What?

A random man with a random purpose.

Gordon, you're pushing me down a black hole, man.

Well, you don't have just one purpose, do you?

But I only want one. I'm not greedy.

Look down there.

They're your purpose.

And coming up here, that was your purpose.

And Abby...Abby.

I think I've moved past that particular purpose, thanks.

..maybe.

Maybe you were barking up the wrong tree and the purpose is something

else all along, but she's still your purpose, whatever it is.

Now, is that better than boxes?

It might be.

Make sure you support the baby's head.

OK, Mum!

Oh, that's good!

I could get some warm water...

No, it's OK. I can do it.

Let me.

OK.

Douglas wants to take a photograph later.

Let's just see how we feel.

Of course. you just let me know and I'll fetch Alistair.

No!

You don't want a photograph?

Och, don't be silly. You'll regret it later.

They change so quickly. You'll forget how small she was.

You don't need to fetch Alistair!

I know he's busy, but Alistair will be disappointed not to be in it.

Just you, me and the baby will be fine.

Of course it will, but Alistair...

Alistair is not going to be part of the baby's life!

Of course he will.

It's not your place to shut him out.

You know, he wouldn't touch her.

He wouldn't even pick her up.

He'd had a skin full.

He was probably afraid he'd drop her.

Yeah.

Could you get the warm water?

Did you have a party when I was born?

No, not really.

Weren't you happy?

Course I was. I still am.

Why didn't you have a party?

I was a bit tired.

Did my dad get Brahms and Liszt as a fart?

No, not really.

Alistair got Brahms and Liszt as a fart.

Yeah, he did.

Kenny says people get Brahms and Liszt as a fart to forget things.

Sometimes they do. Yeah.

What does Brahms and Liszt as a fart mean?

It means to get really drunk.

If I had a baby, I'd want to remember it.

Me too.

Do you remember when I was born?

Like it was yesterday.

Who do I look like? You or my dad?

Me.

Really?

Do you have a photo of him?

No, but you can take my word for it, Charley.

Carolyn's baby looks like her.

That's what Mrs Raeburn says.

Yeah, I think she's does.

I'm not adopted, am I?

No!

Alfie said I was adopted.

That's why I don't look like you.

Charley, you're not adopted.

I don't think Alfie looks like you either.

So, if I'm adopted, he must be too.

Charley! You're not adopted, OK?!

Are you sure you don't have a photo of him?

That was a craic last night, wasn't it?

Shush! A craic!

How did I get home?

Don't make me talk.

Does your head feel like it's going to explode?

Aye. Yours?

No, I'm fine.

WHISTLES

Alistair, I want to speak to you!

I'm busy.Now.

Why don't I come and see you a little later?Now!

What is it?

You're having your picture taken, holding your baby.

I'm not sure I'm feeling...

Now!

Did it flash?

Aye. They weren't smiling.

Yes, we were!

Alistair wasn't!

20 years from now, people will want to know why he wasn't smiling.

Were you smiling?

I thought I was.

Well, smile bigger and let's get this done.

And I think I'm ready. Say "haggis"!

BOTH:Haggis!

Good! Now, another one with Alistair holding the baby.

Och, Mum, I think that's enough.

Come on, just one more.

Make sure you support her wee head.

Got her?

They weren't ready.Yes, they were.

OK. That's it! I've had enough.

I'm tired, Mum.

But thank you and thank you, Douglas.

I'll carry her in. Thanks.

That'll be a lovely photo.

You can put that up on your wall in your villa in Spain, partner!

Unless Malcolm hasn't sold us a pig in a poke!

Let's hope.

We'll be pigs together, whatever happens, won't we?

Is the shop open?

Aye. I'll be along in a moment.

What was that all about?

A little business venture.

You're doing business with her?

Aye, and Malcolm.

And Malcolm? Are you mad? Have you taken leave of your senses?!

No.

She'll rob you blind. You know that. You know what she's like.

Well, of course I do.

That's why I invested.

Marjorie wouldn't give stale bread to a starving man.

It's a fair bet that my money's safe if it's sitting with hers.

It's still a bet.

How much?

You don't need to know.

I don't need to know?!

No.

Are you ashamed to have been such a fool?

Is that why you won't tell me?

No.

You're afraid I wouldn't understand.

That I wouldn't be supportive.

There might be something in that.

Of course I'd be supportive, Douglas.

I know you wouldn't do anything foolish.

I know whatever decision you took

it would be with our best interest at heart.

That's the kind of man you are.

That's why I love you.£500.

Well, don't expect to speak to me any time soon!

The bull will take all of my time at the beginning.

Cousin Colin can look after the farming.

I'll keep an eye on him, of course.

Don't want to feel you've got too much responsibility.

Not all at once.

He won't be living in the house, will he?

No. There's a shed for the hired man.

We used to have a hired man every year

till I was able to carry the load.

If he works out, then you and I...

..Peter, come here.

Go and fetch the shovel. It's by the tractor. There's a good boy.

If he works out,

then you and I could start thinking about having a baby.

More than one, if you want.

Thank you, son.

Well, if I look like one, you do too.

Do not!Sit down and stop arguing!

You started it.Did not.

Is that him?

That's Alfie when he was a baby.

Can I see?

You were all wrinkled and ugly.

Alfie?

I was only joking!

I kind of look like him.

That's not your fault.

What if I end up being like him?

That would be your fault.

But what if I can't help it?

There's a weird guy thing that happens, yeah.

Nobody wants to be like their fathers.

We want to be ourselves.

I mean, Jim Morrison, he reckoned we all wanted to kill our fathers.

We do?

Not exactly.

Not kill them, but we want to be different from them.

We want to be our own man and we want to find our own way.

You don't want to be like your dad.

Never.

And when you've found your own way,

you might find it easier to forgive.

I hate him.

You can't hate.

I do. And I look like him.

You listen to me, cos you're walking in my footsteps.

Have you forgiven your dad?

Well, I'm obviously a lot better at talking about this sort of thing

than doing it.

I liked your dad, when he was here.

Maybe one day you'll like your father.

Yeah, maybe.

People change. We need to change.

Are you ever going to change?

I don't want you to.

See, you might meet your dad one day and he turns out to be the nicest

bloke you've ever met in your life.

You know, he's helping old ladies across the street,

he's returning bin bags full of money without asking for rewards,

he's giving blood every day with a smile on his face.

But if I don't want to be like him...

Well, then you can be a villain.

Cool.

The look on his face when he was holding her.

He seemed happy.No.

No?

Proud.

More important than happy.

How are the three of you going to manage in your place?

Or in his? It's much too small.

What are you talking about?

You'll be on top of each other.

And I can tell you from experience, you don't want that.

Alistair is not moving in with me!

I think he'll want to.

Mum!

You told me he wouldn't want to be in the photograph. I said he would.

Who was right?

That is not the same!

I think you should trust a mother's instinct.

OK, wee, teeth and prayers!

BOTH: Mum! Get on with it or there's no story!

I should never have shown them the photograph.

It was stupid.

Charley asked, and after what you said...

I think it was good. It's the right thing.

Alfie took it so badly.

You're only scared of stuff you don't know.

He'll be all right.

He will.

..All right, we're coming!

You'd better be in bed!

Every time the bull...

..does his business,

it's £2,000.

I'm not charging enough!

Gordon! Could I speak to you?

£2,000?

Yes, Mary, what can I do you for?

And before we start, may I say you're looking lovely tonight.

Gordon, because of what's happened, you know, the baby and everything...

..well, there's no mincing words. I need my cottage back.

Oh, you and Douglas not getting on? Sorry to hear it.

It's the stress, is it?

No. It's the baby.

Oh! They bring joy, but they bring stress too.

Not for me! For Carolyn and Alistair.

Oh.I know it's asking a lot...

Aye, it is. Not for me, of course.

I'm easy-going. No problem with me. But, well, Kenny can be difficult.

Can you ask him for me?

He won't be happy about it.

Unlike me. Cos I would do anything to help you that I could.

What did her airs and graces want?

I don't know who she thinks she is, but I'm not standing for it.

What's she done to upset you?

She wants to kick me out of my home.

It is her cottage.

What's that got to do with it? It's my home! Where am I going to live?

What are you staring at me for?

Aw, you don't mean it!

With you?As you said, you're a lot cheaper than the bull.

Keep talking like that, I'm gonna have to take you home right now.

Any trousers to go with that mouth?

And then he sees himself in the reflection of the pond.

He nearly jumps out of his skin...

..because he is so old-fashioned

but worse than that,

he's middle-aged.

The cool guy that he once was,

the height of fashion, the envy of others,

is not staring back at him.

That guy is long gone.

And Rip, that's Mr Van Winkle to you, he just can't figure it out.

What happened to him?

Well, you see, Rip was a bit of a young tearaway, you know, never

very responsible.

Kind of lived from moment to moment.

Now, when he went into the dark forest, by himself,

he got tricked into drinking from another man's cup,

and he fell into a deep sleep.

And then when he tried to go home, he found it was empty.

And he realised he'd been asleep for 20 years.

That's a long time.

Yes, it is.

But he was awake now.

And although he was the same man, he knew he was different.

So, he looked around and he asked himself.

"What have I done?"

What happened to him?

He decided to make up for lost time, didn't he?

He knew the world had changed, and that he had to change with it.

So, he started.

Is that the end?

This one kind of begins where it ends.

OK.

Night.Night.

Night.

Goodnight.

20 years is a long time.

Yeah.

I suppose it goes quick if you're asleep.

Well, it's just a story.

Thanks for today.

You know...

..you're a bad habit.

That doesn't sound like a compliment to me.

This isn't good.

We both need something more than this and we both know it.

It may not be good, Kenny, but it's not bad.

For who?

For me, for the kids,

and for you, I guess, because if it wasn't, you wouldn't stay this long.

There was a doctor and they brought a dying boy to him.

He worked all night long, used all his skills and saved the boy's life.

Right.

Ten years later, the boy picks up a gun and he kills a dozen people.

So...

..did the doctor do good or bad?

Join up the dots for me.

You're nice to me and you're really good to me, and I stay.

Obviously, cos I'm not capable of leaving.

Now, is this good for me? Is it good for them? Is it good for you?

I don't know what's good.

But I know it's a bad habit.

You're nobody's victim, Kenny.

Can't you do anything, like make me hate you?

Then I can leave.

I've tried everything.

Try harder.

Let Robbie into their lives.

No.

Look, the only reason you can hate him

so much is if you loved him once.

Now, you didn't like what he changed into, but he could've changed back.

How do you know? He probably just wants money or something.

I can't take the risk.

Not for me and not for the kids.

I can't believe you want me to, Kenny!

So, you won't even give him a chance?

They don't need him.

Cos they have me?

You have to ask yourself whether you need them more than they need you.

I have asked myself that question.

Have you answered it?

Kenny!

Mary.

Mary!

Mary!

I'm not speaking to you.

Good. All I want you to do is listen.

It's a risk. I might lose all the money, but I might not.

You don't like risking things, Mary,

but you can't go through life without risk,

no matter how much you want to.

What was the money for?

Let's stay not speaking a little longer.

BABY CRIES

Carolyn!

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Good morning, Gordon.

Aye. You could say that!

You know, frankly, I'm a little surprised that you have no shame

about kicking me out of my home, baby or no baby!

Kicking you out of your home?

All right, don't play the innocent with me!

Making Kenny homeless, well, yes, I could see that.

I could see how that might give you some small amusement.

But me! Me!

There's nothing funny about it, doing it to me.

I was just saying good morning, I didn't expect...

What did you expect?!

I'm not saying I'm not happy for you.

You and Carolyn living together is the right thing,

but well, it could have been handled with more grace.

Me and Carolyn living together?

A bit more respect for how it might disrupt my life!

So, aye, good morning...

..for some!

Morning.

If we're lucky, school will get cancelled again.

Abby, can I speak to you?

Yeah, sure.

What have you done now?Nothing!

Goodbye, Peter.

I need a favour.

There's no-one else I can ask.

You can't catch me!

Children! Come on.

Children, Miss Wallace has agreed to help and be your teacher for

a while.For one or two days.

One or two days, while I look after my granddaughter.

No way!

Then, Marjorie, bless her,

took me in, until I can sort something else out.

And then made me feel right at home,

and then when we went to bed...

Don't. You don't have to tell me everything.

..ah, but I want to.

I enjoyed our boy talks earlier and I think you seemed to.

So, when I woke up this morning, the first thing that popped into my head

was, "I can't wait to tell Kenny."

Well, actually, it wasn't the first thing.

The first thing was when Marjorie...

Gordon, it's too much information.

Well, you can imagine.

Sadly, yeah.

There was nothing sad about it, I can tell you.

I wish you'd stop because it's making me jealous.

Oh, of course it does. I understand.

When you get back from your shopping,

we'll need to shift our things.

Yeah.

Have you finished, Peter?

No, Miss Wallace. I need help.

Yeah, of course. What is it?

Can you explain what a conjunction is?

A conjunction?

Right, yeah, er, conjunction.

Alfie, what's a conjunction?

Well...

I know! It's an infection in your eye.

You're so stupid! "Because", "and", "when", "where", words like that...

You can make two sentences into one.

Yeah, exactly right.

Malcolm!Colin!

You look grand.

Do I?

I don't feel it.

Feel like I might be sick.

Never took to boats.

Had a curry last night.

Chicken.

That's a fine tractor.

It does the job.

I'll be driving it, then?

Aye.

Don't take to poultry.

Shall we be going?

Where?To the farm.

I suppose we'd better.

Has to be family.

The smell of a baby's breath.

That's another thing I loved.

Holding the soft, little face up next to you.

I'm never going to be what they want me to be, Jerry.

This is the pen.

It's a fine pen.

And this is the barn.

It's a fine barn.

We'll collect the bull tomorrow.

This is where you're staying.

It's not much.

It's fine.

Here's Ida.

Ida, meet Cousin Colin.

Nice to meet you. Welcome.

You've done well for yourself, Malcolm.

Thank you.

Real well.

You've got two people working for you.

Oh, no, Ida doesn't work for me.

She lives with me.

Och!

You're still a joker.

Is Kenny coming to say goodnight?

Yeah, he'll be here soon.

You did all right today.

You think?

Yeah.Thanks.

Can you cancel school tomorrow?

KNOCK AT DOOR

Oop, there's Kenny. Come on, bed.

Night.I'll be up in a minute, OK?

Right.

Did he call you?

Who?Kenny.

No. I thought that was him knocking.

Allergic to work, that boy.

He didn't make the last ferry.

I waited. I know he's not good with time.

Well, he hasn't called.

Well, if he does, ask where he wants me to put his gear.

Just like him to go missing when there's a dirty job to be done.

Oi!

HORN BLASTS

Children!

Finished already, Charley?

No. I'm thinking about something from the other night.

What is it, sweetie?

Is it possible to be asleep 20 years?

Home, sweet home.

Ha, Rob the Builder!

Well? What do you think?

It's a fine-looking cow.

It's a bull!

If you say it is.

This is what you put your money in?

Aye. You're talking to me again?

No, I'm not.

Does it have a name?

Aye, but we can call it whatever you want.

Can we call it Gordon?

Absolutely not.

Why not?

Cup of tea, please, love. Two sugars.

Oi, there's a queue.

Sorry, mate.

Kenny.

Hey, Robbie. How's it going?
