[soft music]

[soft music]

- [Nick] You fancy a beer?

- You can't do that.

- Well, if you don't want it.

- I never said I wasn't, I'm having it.

[soft music]

It's good.

- Got a surprise for you.

- Surprise?

- [Nick] Right then.

Just a little magazine.

[Tom laughing]

- What is it? - It's beaver.

Prime beaver.

- What did you go show me that for, you sick git.

Are you sure there's fish in here?

- [Nick] Course there's fish, why wouldn't there be?

It's a fishing lake.

- [Nick] Shut up.

[whistle blowing]

[players shouting]

[players shouting]

[spectators shouting]

- Go on, Tom.

Go on!

Go on!

- [All] Oh.

[crowd clapping]

[players chatting and shouting]

- [Spectator] Come on, Sato.

- [Young Spectator] Come on, Sato.

[spectators shouting]

- [Spectators] Oh.

[crowd applauding]

[crowd and players shouting]

- [Sarah] Come on, get in there!

- [Woman Officer] Mrs Proctor, do you think

we could have a word?

- What's it about?

- [Woman Officer] Can you come with us for a moment, please?

- Well I can't, My lads playing football.

What is it?

- [Woman Officer] We've got some distressing news.

[crowd shouting]

[audience cheering and applauding]

[Sarah crying loudly]

[Sarah crying loudly]

- Where's Tom, Tom?

Get me my son!

No, no, no, no!

No!

- What's, up Mum?

What's happened?

What's happened?

What's happening?

[soft music]

[bird calling]

[soft music]

- Nick.

[Sarah sobbing]

[soft music]

- You're doing a good job, Mum.

- Tom, come on, you're gonna make me late!

Come on, Tom, don't mess me about.

I've got to see the bank before work.

- It's not like Nick does though, is it?

- Not again, Tom please.

- What, I'm just saying.

[faucet running]

- Right, if you're not going to eat that,

you'll go hungry.

Come on, I'll not be bloody late because

you're dragging your feet!

Come on!

[soft music]

- Obviously we appreciate how difficult

things are for Tom at the moment.

The loss of a loved one naturally throws you

off balance.

And in Tom's case,

we know that his school work has suffered.

And there have been instances of disruption in class.

Which is why its so important that we do everything we can

to provide structure and stability for Tom.

Unfortunately, these absences only serve to increase

the sense of isolation and vulnerability that Tom feels.

- Right, thank you.

Come on.

[soft music]

I'm sorry Tom, I know how hard this is for you

and your brother.

I wish it wasn't, believe me I do.

But you have to help me.

Tom, listen to me.

I can't do this without you boys.

Really, I can't.

- Okay Mum,

I'll go to school.

[engine starting]

[screaming]

- Right, come on!

I thought we might watch a film together later.

- Can't, got cadets.

- How about you skip it tonight, Nick?

We haven't spent much time together recently.

- What, as a family?

- Yeah.

- No.

- There's things we need to talk about.

- What things?

- House things.

- Nowt to discuss.

- Look Nick, It's not that simple.

You can't just shut out the world you know?

- Leave off it, Mum.

- What things?

- I thought we might move closer to town.

- Don't talk rubbish.

- What's wrong with here?

- It's just too far away, Tom, and I'm not always

gonna get the time off work to pick you up and--

- No.

- Look Nick, will you just listen to me?

It's not about what you want and what you don't want.

It's about what we have to do.

- Then why bother ask?

I'm going to cadets.

- You sit down!

It's not my choice, the bank wants to take the house.

- What?

- I'm behind on the mortgage payments.

- I don't understand, Mum.

How can the bank take our house off us?

- It's the law, Tom.

I can't afford the mortgage and the insurance company

aren't paying up because they're saying dad's accident

was the bloody quarry's fault.

- But it was a heart attack.

It was not one's fault but his own.

He just fucking died.

- You take that back!

- No!

If he hadn't spent all that time in that pub,

smoking and drinking.

If he'd looked after himself better,

we wouldn't be alone now.

It's not fucking fair!

[door slamming]

[sobbing]

[door slamming]

- [Sarah] I don't mean that at all!

I don't think he's had enough

- [Nick] Why not, what's wrong with me going?

- [Sarah] Tom needs you here, I need you here.

- [Nick] No you don't, I just get in the way of things.

- [Sarah] Do you even know what it means?

Do you know what could happen to you?

- [Nick] Yes, I could become a better person.

[arguing back and fourth]

- [Sarah] I really don't want you to go.

I'm not signing your sheet and that's it.

- [Nick] Yes, you are.

- [Sarah] If you want to go you'll have to wait

until your 18.

[acoustic band music]

- [Officer] Come back here, I said come back here!

You little shit!

[door opening]

[door closing]

- Taking a vehicle without consent,

criminal damage,

driving without a license,

reckless endangerment,

breach of the peace.

Do you realize how serious this is, Tom?

- The bank were gonna to take our house.

- [Officer] They were gonna take the house.

- And Mum can't pay.

So, I thought it would give us more time to get the money.

Thought I'd close the bank.

- Oh Tom.

- Did you know about this Mrs. Proctor?

- No, of course I didn't.

The bank are trying to repossess the house.

Look he didn't mean any harm.

- Mrs. Proctor,

I understand you're going through

a difficult time right now.

I certainly don't want to bring

any further hardship on you but these are serious charges.

Do you understand that, Tom?

- Yeah.

- I mean, what would your dad be thinking right now?

- [Tom] Well, he's not here is he?

[birds chirping]

- [Officer] Al Thorpe?

- [Al] Aye.

- Do you think I could have a quick word?

- [Al] Aye, come on in.

- [Officer] Thank you.

- [Nick] Come on, let's go play footie.

- I can't, grounded.

- But Mum's at work, isn't she?

- I shouldn't.

- Oh come on, don't be wet.

[acoustic guitar]

[Nick grunting]

- [Tom] How am I supposed to get that?

- [Nick] You need to grow a bit.

[Nick shouting]

- [Tom] Ha, you missed!

[acoustic guitar]

Ha, you missed!

[acoustic guitar]

- Didn't even nearly get it in, well over the bar.

[acoustic guitar]

Ruby!

- [Nick] Pop out down there.

[acoustic music drowning dialog]

- [Tom] Where are you going?

How much will you give me if I get it?

- Fifty P.

- Fifty P?

- Yeah.

- So when you coming back to school?

- Not going back.

- That's stupid.

- You're one to talk.

- Well, what you gonna do, It's not like you can go out--

- I'm joining up. - What?

- I'm joining the army.

I did my physical the other weekend.

- But that means you'll be moving away.

- [Nick] Not for long.

- How long?

- About 12 weeks for basic training.

- 12 weeks!

- I can't stay here Tom.

- But why, You're nearly all I've got left.

- [Nick] I don't see what else I can do.

- Stay.

- And do what?

- I don't know, just stay, get a job round here.

I don't know, just stay!

- I've made my decision, Tom.

It doesn't matter what you say.

- How long?

- [Nick] What?

- Until you go.

- A week.

- [Sarah] No, I'm not signing my name, I'm not!

- [Nick] Jesus Christ, what is wrong with you?

Just sign my paper and I'll bugger off.

[Sarah and Nick arguing]

[door slamming]

[soft acoustic]

- It wasn't anything like they said.

And he didn't steal the tractor, he borrowed it.

Anything else?

- No, ta.

- 5.68, please.

[soft acoustic]

[vehicle starting]

[soft acoustic]

- Mrs. Proctor?

- [Sarah] Hello.

- Have you got a minute?

I've got some news about Tom.

- Right, OK.

- Don't worry it's nothing to worry about.

- [Sarah] You'd best come in then.

- [Officer] We got the assessment back

from the youth advisory board.

- [Sarah] Right.

- [Officer] And one of the conditions is that if we get Tom

some community service.

Pretty basic.

[soft music]

- [Sarah] Tom.

Tom, get down here.

[soft music]

- You must be Tom.

My names Al.

- Hi.

[engine starting]

[loud knocking]

[birds chirping]

- [Al] You ever used a saw before, lad?

- Maybe.

- Right, come over here and I'll show you how.

See how I use my thumb to guide it.

- I could cut my thumb off.

- No you won't.

Now listen, all you're doing is establishing the cut,

once you've got a groove you move your thumb out of the way

and then, that's when you start to saw properly.

Right, you got that?

Go on then, you do it.

- Child bloody labor.

- Listen lad, ten weeks me and you are together and I'll not

have you standing about idle whilst I do all the work.

You're here to help, you're not here for a holiday.

Do you understand that?

Go on.

[sawing]

Well,

we only just got that one in in time, didn't we lad?

[rain falling]

[water splashing]

[water splashing]

- Mum said you were here.

- [Tom] So?

- You not gonna come see me off?

- [Tom] Dunno.

- See you later then.

- Don't go.

- Tom we've already been through this.

- No I mean now, stay for a bit.

Let's go fishing or something.

- I've got to go pack.

What's going on at school?

- Nowt.

- You'd better keep up your studies.

- You're one to talk.

- But you're different, you've always been good at that.

Like all that stuff you know about rocks.

I never did.

- That don't mean nothing.

- It does, Tom.

I'm sure dad would want you to.

- Would dad have wanted you to join the army?

No, he wouldn't, he'd have wanted you to stay with me.

- Tom, please.

- What?

- Just come see us off, alright?

[soft music]

- [Sarah] He's not there.

- Just tell him I said goodbye, alright?

[engine starting]

[soft music]

- Here.

It's a bloody mess alright, isn't it?

- You don't expect me to clear all this up, do you?

- No I don't, I expect we both will.

- But...

- Come on, get on with it.

[Tom sighing]

[soft acoustic]

- How did it go?

[loud blasting]

- How come you're not there for the blasting then?

- Night foreman's overseeing it.

I'll take a look tomorrow.

- David used to say he missed the days of dynamite

and fuse wire.

- That's because he never used to lay the charges.

- He was happiest on the digger.

- Aye.

He was a good driver, your husband.

Did you manage to get any more shifts at the supermarket?

- One of two but it's tight.

Even with our Nick not about.

- Well, maybe you could come and work at the quarry,

'cause we're looking for someone at the moment.

- [Sarah] Really?

- We haven't had a cleaner for a month or so and--

- A cleaner?

- Yeah.

- You think I'm gonna come and work down the quarry

as a cleaner?

- [Christopher] Yeah but I thought--

- What about working on the trucks?

- What, driving?

- Yeah.

- You wouldn't want that.

- Why not?

- Well, it's dirty work and physical.

- Physical?

The most energetic thing I saw David do was play pool

in the staff room.

I mean it, if I could get a job working down

the quarry, I could pay off my mortgage.

- Come off it, Sarah.

I don't mean to be funny but it's man's work.

- Bollocks.

- Come on, Sarah.

- Don't patronize me, Christopher.

- You haven't got a license, you'd have to be trained up

and--

- I suppose you're right.

- Well, I mean, I'd give you the job but--

- Alright then, if I get my HGV license you'll give me a

job at the quarry.

- Oh, thank you Christopher, thank you.

Right.

I'm gonna have to borrow one of the trucks to practice with.

So, how about next Wednesday?

- Huh?

- The Young Persons Act of 1933 states...

[knocking on door]

- Hi

- [Lucy] Hi.

- Oh,

Hi.

Is the ranger in?

- You mean Al, no he's not.

Do you want to come in?

- Why, where's he gone?

- [Lucy] He's out.

- But he's supposed to be here.

- Sorry, I can't help that.

You must be Tom, I'm his granddaughter, Lucy.

- Why isn't he here, where's he gone?

- He's just popped out.

Christ, you're high maintenance aren't you?

- Is that what he told you?

- I don't need to be told what I see for myself.

- So you're the outlaw.

Bit short aren't you?

Well come in, then.

What's that you got in your hand?

- Oh,

[opening rubbish bin]

nothing.

- So how old are you then?

- 13, you?

- 16 but I look older.

I wouldn't have thought you were cut out

for the physical work.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- Don't you have to lift stuff?

- I bet I could lift more than you.

- Got a girlfriend?

- Never you mind.

- I've got a boyfriend.

He's called Jacques, lives in Paris.

- Don't blame him.

[door opening]

- Oh good, you're here.

I see you've met Lucy then.

You alright Tom?

Right, shall we get on with it then?

- Great, let's go. - Well actually...

Hammer, please.

- Ta, lad.

[birds chirping]

[hammering]

That ought to hold it.

All we need now is a--

- I'll do it!

- A cup of coffee.

Thanks Lucy, flasks in the front, love.

[chuckling]

- [Tom] Bye, Al.

- Bye, Tom.

- I don't know why you bother with him.

- What, young Tom?

- He's a show off.

- He's not a show off, Lucy.

He's just a little boy whose lost his dad.

You mustn't jump to conclusions, love.

Come on, let's get some dinner.

- No, I told you.

It was my husband who set up the account.

Well, how's he supposed to speak to you, he's dead.

Look, can you just use some common bloody sense.

Let me speak to my branch.

Well, of course they've got a bloody phone number.

Don't be ridiculous.

It's Sarah Proctor.

No, no.

P,R,O,

C,T,

O,R

No.

No, I haven't got time to fill in any more forms.

I've already been down to the bank,

we've been over all this.

Look this needs to be sorted today.

Fine, well you know what, it's bloody not good enough!

Right, come on, get your coat.

[truck engines running]

Hey, hop up.

Come on, Tom, we haven't got all day.

You'll have to be co-pilot.

In the window.

- You can't drive this.

[engine starting]

[engine stopping]

- Uh, bollocks!

[soft chiming music]

[truck approaching]

Come on Tom, hurry up.

- This is my son Tom, you know him, he's the one

that covered your bank in crap.

Do you know how old he is?

13.

13 and he's just lost his dad.

- What on earths this got to do with me?

- He's the one that's been labeled a criminal, not you.

- This is outrageous, I'm gonna call the police.

- 12 years.

Me and my husband never missed a mortgage payment.

Not once and now without any thought or regard

for my circumstances, you just want to take

our house off us.

Now that is theft in my book.

- Look, I can't discuss this here.

If you've got an issue with the bank,

you'll have to make an appointment.

How did you find out where I live?

- This is Yorkshire.

We know where everyone lives here.

But your lot, you wouldn't know anything about that, do you?

Look at your home.

Look at how you live, how could you?

You sit there in your fancy offices, making decisions

that ruin peoples lives and your anonymous.

My husband died.

Do you know what that means?

Apart from the obvious devastation and loss

my family is feeling, it means I've lost his wage.

And what do you do?

You tell me you're going to take our house,

our home and auction it off for a loss when I need it most.

Just because you don't see the people you hurt,

doesn't mean they don't bloody well feel it!

- Look--

- Listen,

one more month, that's all I need.

One more month and then I can pass my test and get earning.

- Look, I'll refer it to the committee.

- Committee?

What bloody committee?

You're stood right opposite me aren't you?

How many people does it take to make a decision?

Look, one more month, can I have it or not?

- I'm sorry, there's a process that we have to go through.

- There is, is there?

Well, you know what you can do?

You can shove your fucking process up your ass

and tell your committee that's where they can find it.

Come on Tom, we're off.

- Just you remember, my brothers in the army.

[inspirational music]

[engine starting]

[object breaking]

- And you can add that to the bloody bill and all!

[generators operating]

[birds chirping]

- [Al] Here lad.

- Not been there since dad died.

- No?

- Did you know my dad?

- Well, I'd see him in the Black Horse from time to time.

- Do you think he was unfit?

- I couldn't say, Tom.

What about them three peak races he used to do?

He were alright, wasn't he?

- I guess so.

- What's on your mind, Tom?

- Well, Nick reckons it was Dad's fault he had

a heart attack.

- When someone dies,

we need to find a reason, a cause.

That's because we're upset and we can't handle the pain

but sometimes, there just ain't a reason.

That's what happened with my Jean.

- [Tom] Was Jean your wife?

- Aye.

- What happened?

- She developed a blood clot.

It wasn't something we could see or that we knew about.

It just happened.

She went in her sleep.

- Do you believe in the afterlife?

- Well, I think we live on in all sorts of ways.

When we die, our bodies break down and the molecules

go back to the earth.

We're kind of recycled by nature.

- I like the thought of that.

[fiddling with objects]

[soft music]

[stream flowing]

[soft acoustic]

[train approaching]

I've come to sell my rocks.

- Sarah, the school's on the phone.

- [Sarah] You're grounded.

- But--

- [Sarah] Not a word, get inside.

[birds chirping]

[rooster sounding]

[musical doorbell sounding]

[musical doorbell sounding]

- Morning, good day for it.

Just got to give you this.

I didn't know you were learning to drive trucks, Sarah.

- What's this then?

I don't understand.

They're saying I've paid for an intensive

training course but I haven't.

[sighing]

You loved those rocks.

- I wanted you to get the job.

- Come here.

[Sarah sobbing]

[soft music]

I'm so sorry, Tom.

I'm so sorry.

[soft acoustic]

- Here, lad.

Come on lad, out with it.

What's bothering you?

- [Tom] It's nothing.

- [Al] Something must be up.

You're not as chipper as you normally are.

- [Tom] I just get lonely.

- Do you miss your dad?

- [Tom] All the time.

- Aye, I'll bet you do.

You're only a young lad, that's a lot to carry

on your shoulders.

- I just don't think its fair.

- Nowt is ever fair.

Nowt.

But you have to get use to it.

Your life goes on, Tom, and you have to learn

and do what you can to make sure that happens.

- Well, some days it's OK

but today I, just feel empty.

- [Al] What did you like to do with your dad?

- Go looking for rocks.

- Looking for rocks?

What did you look for in them?

- Well, we just look for special ones.

- And what made a rock special to you and your dad?

- The fact that it had been there for thousands of years.

Unnoticed.

And then me and my dad picked them up and they were ours.

That was our thing.

- Yours to keep.

Aye.

I think about my dad every day and he died 25 since.

Still brings a lump to my throat.

But you know,

it gets a little easier as time goes on.

What we'll do, when you're ready,

it doesn't need to be now,

me and thee will go into these hills

and we'll find that rock,

and you can take it to him.

You can give it to him.

What do you say?

- Thanks, Al.

- Hello everyone, this is the ball that I play rugby with.

And I've been to the national finals twice.

And it's also the ball used in the match

where I broke two peoples legs by accident.

I did apologize to them afterwards and unfortunately,

we got to the national finals but we lost.

Thank you.

- Thanks, Alice.

OK, Tom, let's see what you got.

- I haven't got anything.

- That can't be right, Tom.

You must have brought in your rocks?

Just come up and talk to us about them.

- Moughton Wet Stone is a very special rock

and it's only found one place in the entire world

and that's by my house.

It's got lines that...

- Tom?

- Wavy lines that contour through.

Nobody knows why...

[classmates laughing]

through it,

lines,

old,

and that's about it.

[classmates laughing]

- Private Short Asses,

do you think you've got what it takes

to get through basic training?

- Sir, yes sir! - Sir, yes sir!

- Balls of steel that's what I'm talking about!

They may be heavy and awkward to walk with

but you won't regret it when you stand on a land mine!

- Sir, yes sir! - Sir, yes sir!

- [Nick] Did I give you permission to speak?

- Sir, no sir! - Sir, no sir!

- You've got 60 seconds to get round this course, go!

[jovial acoustic guitar]

- Yay!

- You cheated, you get off!

You skipped the netting.

I would have won.

- It's a bloody joke, Al!

Sodding walkers reckon they can,

roam where ever they bloody well feel like it,

and doesn't bloody matter that my wall is in the way.

Oh no!

I mean look at it.

Look at it!

It's a farce, a fiasco.

I don't know how park thinks

we're supposed to make a living.

My bloody prize pedigree,

Blue Leicesters,

mingling with Swaledales!

It's a bloody travesty!

I'm not happy, I'll tell you that now,

I am not happy.

- [Al] You think we ought to start getting them

separated then, Tom?

- [Farmer] I told them!

- [Tom] Alright.

- [Al] Come on, lad.

- [Farmer] You give people the right to roam, and no good

will come of it!

- You go down that way, and I'll go and try to cut them off

at the pass.

- Oh no, no, I phoned them up, I said

we need to have a meeting about this roaming business,

but would they meet me?

No they bloody wouldn't!

Too bloody busy driving around in the flash cars, they are.

- Oh, lad, run, go, go, go.

Blighty, do you think you could put that ruddy sheepdog

to some sort of use?

- No point, she's as deaf as a post.

Ain't that right Beyonce?

Deaf as a post ain't ya?

Mind you, her son's a bit more use.

Snoop Dogg!

Well where are ya?

[birds chirping]

- Well,

I didn't know you were the drystone waller, Tom?

- Me dad taught me,

I should have dug it out first though.

- Ah that's good, you should be proud.

Hey up, here comes Blighty.

[engine rearing to a stop]

- Oh, I see you're nearly done then.

- Aye.

- Brought you some home brew.

- Wow, lovely.

Not much left to do.

We'll let you get on with it, hey Tom?

Come on lad.

Get the beer.

- [Tom] He best not ruin my wall.

- [Al] Ah, he'll do alright with it.

[sheep bleating]

- Ah, bugger it.

[gate squeaking open]

- What you doing here?

- What, would you like to try Hello?

- Hey?

- Al's got an appointment, so he told me to come tell ya.

- Oh.

- That's why I'm here.

- So?

- Hello, whose this then Tom?

- Go away.

- I'm Al's granddaughter, Lucy.

- Oh well, come on in, the door's open.

She seems nice.

- Al's busy today, so he just told me to come

and let Tom know.

- [Sarah] Oh that's a shame.

- He said that Tom would like to show me around a bit?

- That sounds nice, how 'bout it Tom?

- There's nowt to see.

- We could go for a wander couldn't we?

- I think that's a great idea.

Tom doesn't get many visitors, do you love?

[angry grunting]

Tom.

[acoustic guitar]

[birds chirping]

- Well, like they said,

I get to show you around.

[acoustic music]

[water streaming]

- Anyway, this fish started off over there,

near where you are,

then went under there,

and then we chased it to there.

He had got to be at least a foot and a half, he was massive!

You don't believe me do you?

Fine, I'll prove it to ya.

[soft music]

- Look fish!

- It's not as easy as it looks, you know.

- [Lucy] You do not make it look easy.

- Well why don't you have a go?

- [Lucy] I'm alright, thanks.

- Don't be a soft southerner.

[soft music]

[water falling]

[water falling]

- I got one.

- [Tom] Really?

- It's gone.

- How about we just buy fish and chips.

- Yeah.

- [Tom] So why you always up here?

- [Lucy] I get bored at home.

- [Tom] Do you have any brothers or sisters?

- [Lucy] No.

- [Tom] Oh.

- [Lucy] I live at boarding school during term time.

- [Tom] That must be weird.

- [Lucy] Why?

- [Tom] Being away from your family all the time.

[birds chirping]

- [Al] Bad tools, make for a bad job.

[groaning]

I'm not as young as I used to be.

- Me dad's garage was a right mess.

Him and Nick were always in it though.

Tinkering with stuff all the time.

- Most blokes like to spend some time in their workshops

you know?

Gives them an excuse to get away from the wife.

- Didn't you like being with Jean?

- Oh Tom.

I'd trade a million days in this workshop,

for one more day with my Jean.

- I wish I'd met her.

- Yeah, she'd have liked a lad.

- Is Lucy like her?

- Lucy?

Let's see.

She's forthright,

headstrong,

bloody stubborn.

Ah, she's more like her mum.

- Your daughter?

- Aye.

- How come she never comes up here?

- Too busy.

Well young Tom,

time for a philosophy lesson.

If a tree falls in the forest

and there's no one near to hear it,

does it still make a racket?

[birds chirping]

- Alright.

Fifth wheel coupling

relies on which connecting device?

Oh, come on!

- I'm trying.

- We did this one earlier.

- It's no good, I don't know it.

- A kingpin,

King Pin!

- I'm never gonna pass.

- You will, Mum, I know you will.

[birds chirping]

[garage music playing from car]

You off to the barracks?

- Yep.

- Promise you will email me, right?

- Yeah, of course I will.

- So, whose the lady?

Fancy going for a spin?

- Where are you based?

- Cambridge.

- That's where I live.

- Oh cool.

- How about it then?

Nought to 60 in 8.3.

- If the speed didn't kill us,

I'm sure the embarrassment would.

Come on, Tom.

- See you later.

- [Nick] Cradle snatcher!

♪ Music so tight

[techno music playing louder]

- Right, well, pen's are over there.

That's for drystone walling competition over there.

Beer tent going over there,

show jumping over at the back,

tug of war in the middle.

And there's going to be cake baking,

falconry,

Punch and Judy,

vintage tractors,

machinery.

So,

if you want to pitch a tent, there's only one spot

you can really.

- Well, that will do fine.

It doesn't need to be out big.

- Alright then.

Done.

- Right. - Right.

Should be a good one this year.

Unless it rains mind, then it'll be crap.

- Well a bit of weather never hurt anybody.

Now tell me, about this drystone walling competition.

Young Tom here's a professional, aren't you lad?

- Oh well.

There'll be some big lads there, but,

if Al says you're good enough, that'll do for me.

Now then, about this contribution.

[rocks breaking]

[mobile phone ringing]

- Back in a second lad.

[mobile phone ringing]

Al Thorpe.

Hang on.

That's better, it's blowing a bloody gale out there.

Oh aye,

my results.

Aye.

Well can't you just give them to me over the phone.

Right,

Doctors got to see me himself.

Alright love.

Yeah, thanks.

I'll be there.

Bye.

[soft music]

[soft music]

- How's this then?

- It'll do.

[soft music]

So, I've got bread,

ham, hummus and cheese.

- What's hummus?

- Hummus, you must have had it.

- Does it have meat in it?

- [Lucy] No.

- Probably not then.

- Oh, I have got some Chorizo.

Look, would you sit down.

You'd think I was going to eat you.

- Why you acting all weird.

- I'm not acting all weird.

Now have that.

I've also got some cider, do you drink?

- I've had beer before.

- Is it like hard being the youngest?

- Don't know.

- Well I mean, is it hard when Nick goes away?

- I suppose so.

- You haven't been round girls much, have you Tom?

- Course I have, I go to a co-ed.

- But have you ever had a girlfriend?

- Well, sort of.

- [Lucy] Did you kiss her?

- Eh?

- [Lucy] Did you kiss her?

- Kind of.

- It is a bit daunting at first.

Someone needs to show you how.

- I've seen it on telly.

- I can show you.

- No, thank you.

- Alright, Come here, come here.

- What if I don't want to?

- It's for your own good, now come here.

Now kiss me.

See, it's not that bad is it?

Maybe you need to work on your technique a little bit

but other than that...

Chorizo?

- So, I've got everything prepared.

There's five days worth of food.

Breakfast, lunch and tea.

And I've written it down on each one

so you can't get confused.

Karen says she'll give you a lift if you want to go anywhere

and I've left her number over on the fridge.

- Mum, stop fussing I'll be alright.

- Well, I'm only a couple of hours away

so I can come straight back.

- Oh Mum, just go, make sure you pass, alright?

- I will, I know I can do it.

- [Tom] Mum.

- Yeah?

- Fifth wheel coupling components should be checked

monthly of every?

- 10,000 kilometers.

- I love you, Mum.

- I love you too.

- So lad, are you happy with the work we've done?

- Of course.

- Aye, we've done alright haven't we?

- Yeah but there's loads more to do,

like that path that needs finishing,

and all those signs that need updating.

Like you say, a rangers work is never done.

- Aye, you're right.

It's never done.

Do you know the name of the ranger who was here before me?

- No.

- His name was Ian Beckwith.

You know how long ago that were?

- [Tom] No.

- 17 years.

Tom,

Come and have a seat for a minute.

Just for a moment, lad.

Aye, 17 years.

Day in, day out.

Wind, rain, snow, shine.

And you know there'll be someone here after I go.

- What do you mean?

Where are you going?

- I gotta go and see my daughter, Tom.

We hadn't always seen eye to eye,

and I think it's time that I patched things up with her.

- But she lives in Cambridge, that's miles away.

- Aye, it's a bit of a way, aye.

Now because I'm going down there,

they're sending a new fella up to take my place.

I'm retiring Tom, I'm retiring from the job.

- But I thought you loved this job.

Thought you loved it more than anything else.

- I do.

But I'm an old man now, Tom and I'm not getting any younger.

- But we're a team.

What if I don't like the new ranger?

It won't be the same.

- Nobody's ever the same as anybody else,

but we've all got our good points.

Besides, look, you've served your ten weeks.

Haven't you had enough?

- No.

- Well look, I want you to make me a promise.

- What promise?

- A promise that you'll give the new fella a fair chance.

- No.

- [Al] Tom?

- Why should I?

Everyone's always telling me to promise this

and do that, I've had enough!

- [Al] Tom!

[soft music]

[rocks cracking]

[heavy breathing]

[shouting]

[shouting]

[soft violin music]

[grunting]

[soft violins]

[crying]

[birds chirping]

- [Al] You ready then love?

- Did you tell him?

- Aye, I told him.

- What did you say?

- I told him I'm moving away.

- Did you tell him why?

- I'll deal with it Lucy.

[birds chirping]

[outdoor festival talking]

[band music playing]

[soft theme music]

[people talking]

[soft theme music]

- Hello, are you alright?

- Is Al in?

- No, he's not here yet, sorry.

[approaching footsteps]

- Here Lad, you forgot this.

- You're leaving.

- Aye, lad.

- I couldn't find you at the show.

- You were runner up.

- That's nothing.

- You're wrong Tom, it's everything.

I'm proud of you.

Been proud of you from the moment you took that tractor.

It took guts to stick up for your family like that, Tom.

The truth is lad,

I'm not very well.

And I haven't been well for sometime.

- Why, what's wrong with you?

- My time's up, Tom.

I'm dying.

Do you remember when I said

we'd go and look for that rock when the time was right.

Do you remember?

- [Tom] Yeah.

- Well, you're that rock, Tom.

You're the one that's kept your family together.

I didn't come today, Tom,

because you needed to understand that.

Whatever happens in your life Tom,

you'll have the strength to go forward and conquer that.

I'll miss you, Tom.

- I'll miss you, Al.

- Come here.

[Al sobbing]

[soft theme music]

- Bye Al.

- Bye Tom.

[soft theme music]

[engine stopping]

[soft theme music]

- [Tom] Al's gone.

- Yeah, I know.

- [Tom] Why does everyone have to leave?

- There's still the two of us and I'm not going anywhere.

- Did you pass?

- Of course I did.

- What mark did you get?

- [Sarah] 98 percent, top of my class.

Not bad for a short arse, eh?

- [Tom] Top of the class.

- Yeah, top of the class.

- Does this mean you'll get the job?

- Get the job.

I'm gonna be running that place in a few years.

- [Tom] And we get to keep the house?

- Yeah, yeah we do.

[water streaming]

I know things have been really hard,

but I promise ya, they're gonna get a lot better.

Come here, cuddle.

Come on.

Let's get ourselves home and have a celebration.

Shall we, come on.

- In the truck?

- Yeah.

- [Tom] On the road?

- Yeah, come on, I'm a professional now.
