Original subtitles

(Wind howls)

(Man) I'm sick of you an' all!

Get out of the bloody way!

- (Woman) You useless, feckless...! - Shut your bloody mouth!

- It's every soddin' night! - Is it buggery!

Every night you're pissed. Is it any bloody wonder we have nowt?

(Girl) I've got the house to myself if you want to come.

Andrew?

Andrew!

Yes!

(Laughter)

(Whooping and screaming)

(Man) Sue!

Steady. Bloody shoes. Has anyone seen my handbag?

Susan!

Your dad's shouting, Carol.

Get your bloody backside up here!

Sue, I'm dangling.

- Bloody hell! - Oh, aye. You don't shit, do you?

Not with t'bloody door open, I don't.

Wanker.

I saw your boyfriend last night.

- Lucky you. - Down at t'Fleece.

Getting pissed with his clever-shit mates from school.

Sat with his arm round another lass.

- Keys. - Mantelpiece.

(Dad) Prettier than you.

Don't you be cheeky on your first day back. I'll pick you up or our Carol will.

All right?

- I'm just off, Richard! - Thought there were a funny smell.

I said to him, "You wanna get yersen a proper job

"instead of wasting your time going to university for three years. "

He goes, "You're right, Mr Bolton.

"I am a pathetic little moron. "

I said, "Yeah, you are.

"University is probably t'best place for you, in fact.

"You can fart about to your heart's content

"with all t'other aimless tosspots. "

That's what you get for calling your daddy a wanker. Little bastard.

So think on.

(TV).. Beautiful but poor country. The majority of the people...

I am no overreacting.

I refuse to be persuaded that I'm overreacting.

You're not overreacting.

I know he's 18

and when he's at university, he'll stay up and we won't even know about it.

But when he's here at home, there are rules.

Some things are acceptable and others aren't

and one thing that is extremely unacceptable

is staying out until seven in the morning,

having people lying awake worrying.

I've got things to sort out.

She just likes to know where you are.

I was at Connor's house. His mum and dad's in Japan.

- You were just going for a drink. - I didn't know there was a party after.

- Thanks, cock. - Any time...

Is she teaching you this year?

- Yeah. - You wanna be nice to her.

- Why? - She's got piles.

- How do you know? - A little bird told me.

(Bell rings)

Piles of what?

Hiya.

Jeez!

The door was open.

I- I was just...

Yeah.

I thought I might take t'day off to celebrate t'storm.

Do you fancy doing owt?

Yeah.

Sorry.

It doesn't matter.

- Touched you last! - You bastard.

Right. Right...

Morning. Just the one.

- Ta - Who's it for?

- Me. - Who, Carol?

- You. Shall I open it? - Who's it from?

- Manchester University. - Give it to me.

See ya!

- Where is it? - I've eaten it.

- You are so... - Gorgeous.

Annoying, actually.

Ah!

What is it?

It's my reading list for the first term.

- We've read all these. - Most of them, yeah.

I wish I was off to university.

You could have done easily.

You should have stayed at school.

Yeah, well.

(Blows raspberry) Touched you last!

You bastard.

By the way, how's your mum's piles?

(Piano introduction)

? One more step along the world I go

? One more step along the world I go

? From the old things to the new

? Keep me travelling along with you

? And it's from the old I travel to the new...?

"Oh! You said you cared nothing for my sufferings!

"And I pray one prayer - I repeat it till my tongue stiffens -

"Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living.

"You said I'd killed you - haunt me then.

"The murdered do haunt their murderers, I believe.

"I know that ghosts have wandered on earth.

"Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad!

"Only do not leave me in this abyss where I cannot find you.

"Oh God, it is unutterable.

"I cannot live without my life. I cannot live without my soul. "

You're gonna write to me every day.

You're gonna ring me up every day.

You're gonna think about me when you wake up every morning

and last thing at night and on the hour, every hour...

Carol, I have to concentrate not to think about you.

It really pisses me off sometimes.

Where were you last night when the storm started?

Oh, I went out with Connor and that lot.

Me dad said he saw you up at t'Fleece.

Said you had your arm round a lass.

Did he? To be strictly accurate, she had her arm round me.

- Who? - Tessa Gillespie.

She fancies me. She's been after me for weeks.

She's pretty. Do you fancy her?

Last night she asked me to shag her. She was very drunk.

- Were you...? - What?

Tempted.

I'd like to know what it's like.

Do you know what I wished for last night?

You're not supposed to tell me.

- I wished... - I'm not listening.

I wished for it.

I wished for it to happen.

For it to be everything you want it to be.

Brilliant, beautiful.

So did I.

And it will happen, one day.

And when it does, it'll be right.

Don't worry about it.

I can wait forever if I have to.

And I will. You know I will.

Touched you last!

(Andrew) Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

Oh, shit.

The dog! The bloody dog!

Andrew?

Andrew!

Carol!

I thought you'd gone inside.

(Siren wails)

"That's wrong!" cried Wolf, "Have you forgot

"To tell me what big teeth I've got?

"Oh well, no matter what you say, I'm going to eat you anyway. "

The small girl smiles, One eyelid flickers,

She whips a pistol from her knickers.

She aims it at the creature's head

and bang, bang, bang, she shoots him dead.

A few weeks later, in the woods,

I came across Miss Riding Hood,

But what...

(Knocking)

Mrs Lawton, could you er...?

Yes.

(Fireman) We're all done here.

We've rung your parents. They're on the way.

- How did it start? - Any number of things.

They'll find out. They usually do.

- I'd better get off home. - You'd better get that seen to.

Yeah.

- Where've you been? - Fixed t'gate over in t'top field.

- You did that yesterday. - It fell off again.

- Did you see t'fire? - What fire?

- Over at White Gate Head. - No.

Yeah. John spotted it. It were us rang 999.

Not that nobody'll thank us. What you done to your hand?

Nowt.

You want to get that seen to. She wants to get that seen to.

There's no money in farming.

I told him - everyone did - and this is 20 year ago.

This would suit me. Summat more like this.

You've right idea.

You see, if I didn't work, we'd have nowt.

Right, love. Same time next week?

About next week. Um... I've got a new lady starting.

Next week.

Have you? Why?

- I think you know why. - Do I?

Bottles of Chanel don't come cheap.

I don't know what you're on about.

You might have had the foresight not to turn up smelling of it.

Lambs haven't done very well.

They've all been sold on for fattening than slaughter.

Hogs an' all. More of them going for the chop than you'd want.

He shouldn't buy such shite stock.

Well, it's money though, in't it?

He knows. He does his best whatever you think.

You're a dickhead. You could earn twice as much somewhere else.

It isn't all about money, though. Been very good to me.

That's a burn, Carol. It's blistered.

Is it?

- How's your granddad? - A bit better, yeah.

Shit.

They, er... They seem to think the basic structure's intact.

We need to think positively.

It could all have been a lot worse.

Sorry. One last question.

What was the name of the girl that was here?

- What girl? - It was Carol. Carol was here.

Carol Bolton. She lives over at Sparkhouse. It's the next farm down.

She called. She wanted to go for a walk.

And ten minutes later the house is on fire.

It was nothing to do with...

- She was with me up on t'moors. - Why don't I believe you?

If she hadn't called, I'd have been in there.

- What do we have to do? - Not this again?

- Yes. This again. - What happened?

- I've told you. - No. The truth.

- We were on the moors. - Do you know how serious this is?

Look at it, for God's sake!

I'm telling you the truth.

- What they taught you? - Nowt much.

- I'll teach you summat. - What?

Moderation is the secret of successful pilfering.

Tasty. What did you do to your hand?

Bastard dog bit me.

(? Aqua: Barbie Girl)

Bingo.

(Money jangles)

- You've got a lucky touch. - Oh, aye. Luck's my middle name.

- Do you believe in love at first sight? - Only on t'telly.

- What's he doing here? - I've just got to check on t'lambs.

- Carol! - What?

- Come here! - What's up?

I think you know.

Where were you when you said you were fixing t'gate?

- Fixing t'gate. - What have you done to your hand?

I ain't answering his questions.

My house has burned down and you were there.

- I wasn't there. - So where was you?

I were up on t'moors with Andrew.

We saw t'fire and ran down to t'house.

I thought he'd gone inside, so I went in after him and burnt my hand.

Why do these things only happen when you're around?

- I wasn't. I'm telling you. - I've put up with this for long enough.

For years, I have racked my brains

wondering what the hell it is he sees in you

because all I see is a reckless, irresponsible idiot!

My son only ever gets into trouble when he's with you -

stealing cars, shoplifting - and this is it.

I've told Andrew and I'm telling you.

- From now, you stay away from him. - No.

It's over, it's finished and you'd better get used to that.

- You can't do that. - Oh, yes, I can.

You don't come near my house, you don't knock on my door, ever again.

You understand? And, above all, you stay away from my son!

And, in return, I don't go back to the CID

and tell them you were involved in the fire.

You'd better keep her under control.

Or there'll be more trouble than you know how to handle.

Get inside.

They don't like you. When are you gonna learn?

You're not good enough for their brat.

And I am pig-sick of that posh twat coming round here

and telling me what for!

So that's it now. You stop seeing him.

You stop inside and do as you're told, all right?

- All right?! - Piss off!

Repeat after me.

I will not go near that posh little bastard ever again. Say it!

Bloody well say it!

I will not go near that posh little bastard ever again.

- Louder! - I will not go near...

Louder!

I will not go near that posh little bastard ever again!

Well, think on!

Pregnant at 18, married at 19.

- Young love? - (Laughs)

Well, 'appen. We had a laugh anyway.

He were fun. He was. And he had big ideas.

He were going to make t'farm this, that and the other.

But then Ministry turned us all into beggars.

Stock's half what it were 20 year ago.

Look at t'landscape. There's ten farms in that valley, seven of them's empty.

Caved-in, relics.

There's Brooks's over at Far Flat Head, then there's us,

Lawtons over at White Gate Head and they're not farmers.

He's a doctor and she's a teacher. They're just farting about.

They've only been there ten years.

Why am I telling you this?

You can't physically stop them seeing one another.

Yes, I can.

Anyway, he'll be off to university in a few weeks' time.

We shan't have to worry about it.

Why don't you tell him about her? Why don't you tell him the truth?

No.

And you mustn't either. I could get struck off.

- I'll see if he's calmed down. - Find out if he's had sex with her.

(Knocking)

I'm sorry I lost my temper.

You're a very intelligent young man,

you've got an enviable future ahead of you.

- Know what I'm frightened of? - Have I heard it...?

I'm frightened that in a few years' time, you'll meet someone else -

someone intelligent, educated...

Someone from the same kind of background.

You can sneer as much as you like but you're very young

and I just don't want you to find yourself compromised.

They're a bloody awful family, Andrew, by anybody's standards.

I've been in love with someone I shouldn't have been in love with.

And sometimes...

The thing is love... being in love, it's not unlike a disease.

Something that's there all the time that you can't stop thinking about.

But you can fight it.

And if you do, if you can shake it off...

life will open up so much more for you.

It'll open up so much more when you go to university anyway, but...

Love in that sense can make you very blinkered.

Have you...?

What?

Nothing. Never mind.

I have a market stall in Oldham - fancy goods, bit of all-sorts.

Me own house - nice house.

Only it's too big since Ella passed on.

Two sons - one married.

That's my grandson, Hayden.

He's going to bowl for England when he grows up.

He'll be three next birthday.

He likes cars.

Are you happy?

You have to make the most.

- You don't look happy? - Well?

- I could make you happy. - You don't know me.

- I'd like to. - Why?

I don't know. I'm daft.

I'm lonely. Sick of being lonely.

Do you do this often?

No, I don't.

Have you got a BMW?

(Phone)

Hello. Eh?

Hang on. What are you talking about?

Susan?

Susan!

Susan!

What?

(? James Bond theme)

- Carol... - Piss off.

That were your mum on t'phone.

And?

She's gone. She says she's not coming back.

Is it cos of me?

No. Don't be silly. Why would it be cos of you?

Sometimes people say things.

What things?

Jamie Kershaw said that I come from a dirty family.

Did he? Right.

Tell Jamie Kershaw his dad takes it up the arse

and his mother shags the milkman every Wednesday.

OK.

(Knocking)

Andrew?

Andrew?

Coffee, Andrew.

Morning.

Odd...

Since the fire I feel as if we've turned so many corners.

I suppose it's true - a crisis does bring people closer together.

Dad.

I've kept telling myself she'd have been back by now.

- It's been over three weeks. - John's outside.

I just wish I knew where she was, just so I could ask her why.

Just so I knew she were all right.

Are you gonna get up?

'Appen I didn't tell her I love her enough.

But you don't, do you?

You don't always think it needs saying.

I thought I'd better go and do a bit of shopping.

I love you an' all. You know that, don't you?

Carol?

I'm going shopping. Do you want owt?

- No. - What shall I tell John to do?

Will you get me a bottle of whisky?

Only if you get up and start making an effort.

Do you love me?

Get up.

Carol.

Hello.

I've been thinking about you... all the time.

- I wanted to see you, but... - I know.

- I know, I know. - How's things?

Shite. My mother's buggered off.

- Why? - Why not?

You should get out of there.

Oh, yeah, right. And leave Lisa on her own with the bastard.

- I'd better get on. - Yeah.

Somebody might see us.

Carol...

What?

Do you want to go up on t'moors?

(Laughter)

Come on, come on!

Come on.

Why don't you come with me?

I'm not leaving Lisa. I told you.

I could get a part-time job. We both could. We could get a flat.

No.

All right.

Let's get married then.

I'm serious.

I know I'll be at university and you'll be here, but we'll be married.

And we'll know, even if nobody else does.

We're married anyway, aren't we? We always have been.

We always will be.

Is that a yes?

- (Knocking) - Come in. Sit down.

Hello.

Hi. How are you?

Fine, fine. Um...

That's odd. I thought we re-registered you with Dr MacKay.

I didn't want to see her. I wanted to see you.

- Claire... - I still think about you.

All the time. And I know you still think about me.

Look at you - you're shaking.

It's been eight months.

For eight months, I've tried not to think about you, about us...

I have to think about my family. You understood that.

Why don't you think about being happy?

- For God's sake... - You shouldn't be here, Claire.

I've been offered a new job in London.

Good. That's good.

I know. And I want you to come with me.

- No. - Think about it.

Claire...

Think about it.

Everything's fantastic. Couldn't be better.

Brand-new kitchen. No, everything's...

If someone tells somebody that someone takes it up the arse,

does that mean what I think it means?

Probably. Why? Who's been...?

I found some more wank mags in Darren's bedroom.

- It'd be odd if he didn't. - Does Andrew?

- I hope so! - Does he have magazines?

- I've never found any. - You just don't look in the right places.

- And your fianc�e's full name is? - Carol Bolton.

- Date of birth? - 1/6/78.

And her address?

Sparkhouse Farm, Sparkhouse Lane, Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire.

Same postcode as mine.

? Feel the need Oh feel

? Feel the need in me

? I need your love

? Every day I need it

? Every day I want it

? Without your sweet, sweet love I'd rather die

? I need it constantly

(Radio )? Love Every day I need it

? Your love is better to me than apple pie

? Just put your hand in mine

? Love me all the time

? The proof you will plainly see...?

Yeah!

? Feel the need Hey, feel

? Feel the need in me...?

- Where did you find this? - It doesn't matter.

- Where is he? - He went out. I didn't say anything.

I've got to pop back down to the surgery.

What for?

I've forgotten some notes I wanted.

- Aren't you going to do anything? - Yes.

Yes.

I'm going to do something.

(Knocking)

Hello?

Your mother...

She found this.

What the hell's she been doing in my room?

- That's a different conversation. - It isn't.

I'm sick of you interfering in my life.

I've done everything you could expect me to do.

I've done it all for you and Mum.

I'm good, I'm polite, I'm nice.

What is in here is mine and it belongs to Carol.

And you can't change that.

Why can't you understand? Why can't you be happy for me?

She's part of me. I can't breathe without her.

I'd die. I'd shrivel up and...

I'd become like you.

I'm nothing without her.

Going to university, everything - it means nothing without her.

And if you knew, if you understood for a second how I feel about her...

you'd be ashamed of the way you carry on.

- Andrew... - You don't know what she's like.

- You don't. - Don't I?

She is me.

You can't change that.

Nobody can.

I'm going to tell you something and I want you to listen.

No.

- Sit down. - No.

Sit down.

What? What for?

- It's about Carol. - What is?

When she was younger, when she was 12, she...

- What? - She gave birth.

- She had a baby. - No, she didn't.

You were friends then, weren't you?

Yeah, we were. Don't you think I'd have noticed?

Obviously you didn't.

Where is it, then? This baby.

Lisa, her sister - she isn't her sister.

- That's stupid. - Yeah.

I know it's difficult to accept, believe...

take on board.

And I didn't want to have to tell you, but...

No.

So...

That's it.

Who... er...? Who's her dad?

At one time, I thought you...

but now...

There's no mention of one and she was never my patient.

So...

I just... I wanted you to know.

I know you think she's good and sweet and...

She can't help the way she is. I'm not blaming her for that.

I just think you need to know...

that that's the way it is.

Hi.

I thought we could... today. Tonight.

- Before tomorrow. If you wanted to. - Yeah.

I brought this.

You need Dutch courage to do it with me?

No. No... I just thought it'd help us relax a bit, that's all.

I want it to be nice.

Have you ever done it before?

- What? - Sex.

Who with? You know I haven't. Why? Have you?

No. I've been waiting for you.

So have I.

I know.

About Lisa.

What about Lisa?

I know she's not your sister.

What is she then? Me granddad?

I've seen your medical records.

- What do you mean? - My dad. He showed me.

He shouldn't have. That isn't fair.

You were 12.

Was I?

All the shit you've talked about saving yourself

and wanting it to be just right and special and...

And all this!

Don't do that. Don't shout.

So whose is it?

Nobody's. It's nobody's.

Nobody's?

- So who's nobody? - It doesn't matter.

It does matter.

I was raped.

Who by?

- Did they catch him? - No, I never...

It was never reported.

Why? Why not?

Because I was 12.

Because it took me long enough to tell me own mother.

That's why I couldn't get rid of it.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because I didn't want you to know.

Do you remember that summer when we didn't see each other for a bit

and you thought I'd fallen out with you

cos every time you came round, my mother would say I wasn't playing out.

Is it someone I know?

I don't want you to feel sorry for me.

Is it someone I know?

If I tell you the truth,

will you swear to God you will never tell anyone?

I didn't even tell me mum.

I never told anyone.

The thing is...

I don't want Lisa to know ever, ever.

God...

No...

Not your dad?

Why didn't you tell me? I could have...

What? What could you have done?

I could have helped you. I could have told me dad.

Then we'd have been taken into care and lost t'farm, lost everything.

It doesn't matter. It's all in the past.

I'll bloody well kill him!

No! Andrew! You go kicking up a stink and Lisa will find out

and I couldn't stand that - she's too little, it isn't fair.

How can you stand it?

I can stand anything...

I can stand anything as long as I've got you.

I love you.

Hiya!

- Where have you been? - Halifax.

- What are you dressed up for? - Went to a wedding.

- Whose? - Somebody I were at school with.

We're dipping this aft so it's all hands on deck.

Right.

- Where's your Andrew? - If I knew, I wouldn't tell you.

Fine.

What are you doing?

Paul!

Paul!

You bastard! You bastard!

Bastard!

Bastard! Bastard!

Bastard!

- Get away from my car. - You bastard!

I'm going to call the police.

- Good! - Don't.

- Why? - She could get me struck off.

You're going to rot in hell, you bastard! And you, you stinking bitch!

You coward! You shitty little coward!

- Get away from my house. - I wasn't stopping.

Ring me this evening unless you're out,

then just ring me when you get a chance.

I'm very proud of you.

Bye!

(Band plays Merry Xmas Everybody)

(Santa) Merry Christmas, everybody!

(Andrew) Oi! Come back here with that!

Andrew.

(Radio )?.. Only just just begun

- ? Are you waitin' for the family...? - Oi.

Turn that bloody din off!

There's been nowt.

Nothing for t'kids.

She's not even sent a card, has she? Your mother.

She's not interested.

We might as well not exist - any of us.

We might as well be dead.

Come in.

- What are you making? - Nowt.

- You have to carry on though. - Not for me.

One thing's certain - you don't keep yersen together, no other bugger will.

You doing owt tonight... Carol?

No. Don't think so.

Only I thought I might go for a drink down t'Fleece...

if you're not doin' owt.

I might go out.

Oh, I wouldn't. It's very muddy and, anyway, it'll be dark soon.

- Later. - (Phone)

Hello.

Yeah, she is. Hang on.

- Mum. - Who is it?

Hello?

Hello?

(? Soft choral)

- I had a phone call this afternoon. - Oh?

- A funny phone call. - What sort of funny phone call?

It wasn't the first - only this time she spoke.

- Who? - A woman.

What did she say?

That I should keep an eye on my husband.

- What? - I'm just telling you what she said.

- What else did she say? - Nothing. She hung up.

Ridiculous.

- She was well-spoken. - So what?

So it seems very odd for someone who's obviously intelligent

to say things that aren't true.

- Kate, it's nonsense. - Yes, but it wouldn't be the first time.

What?

- Your mother's talking rubbish. - No, I'm not.

Are you seeing her again?

- Andrew... - I'm going out.

What time will you be back?

Connor rang. I said I'd meet him in the Fleece.

He'll have been waiting ages already.

How dare you say that in front of him?

Are you seeing that bloody woman again?

No, I am not seeing that bloody woman again.

That bloody woman is in London.

- How do you know? - Because she asked me to go with her.

What?

She made an appointment. She asked me to go with her.

I said no.

(? Wizzard: I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day)

? Quickly cover up your head

? Don't you lock the doors

? You know that sweet Santa Claus is on the way

? Well, I wish it could be Christmas...?

Andrew! Andrew, hi.

- Hi. - How's university?

- Yeah. It's a new experience. - Excellent. Coming for a dance?

- No. - Come on, come and dance.

? Well, I wish it could be Christmas every day

? Let the bells ring out for Christmas?

Do you know any good jokes?

Sheep ones can be funny.

You'll have to try harder than that.

Will you go out with me?

- Sorry. - Sorry. It's just...

I know you've been a bit down and that since your mum left.

- Obviously... - (Giggling)

.. me asking you out might not be something that you'd want,

but it would mean a lot to me.

Kiss me.

- What? - Kiss me.

- What, here? - Yeah.

- I can't. - Why not?

Not here.

Fine.

- Do you want me to? - Not if...

- It isn't that I don't want to. - Fine.

- I didn't realise. - What?
