trumpet all right all right and then of
course there's my secret life of course

retirement is wonderful get off speaking
of secret lives where's steven

i'll rephrase that where's derrick penny
those who knew

Stephen Crane, speak of a man with a
great heart, an

adventurer, content to endure the
isolation and danger of life

on an oil rig in the Middle East, simply
to support his mother, wife,

and little child in the manner he
thought they deserved.

Everything about Stephen's life, even
the tragic, heroic circumstances

of his death, fighting the fire that
claimed so many lives,

proclaims him to be a man whose loyalty
to his friends

and loved ones was truly legendary.

Sammy. Oh, God.

They'll be here any minute.

Why'd you go like that, Pet?

You all right, Pet?

Any lager in the fridge, Pet?

Leave a note.

We'll go and look at the sea somewhere,
eh?

Take a long walk.

No.

No.

I can deal with it.

You know what was in that coffin, Derek?

Don't.

Not much.

Industrial accident.

Your course didn't have provided for it.

The insurance have already called.

Please.

I'm sorry.

I keep forgetting.

You loved him too.

Here's Eichel.

Well, you stay.

I've got something of yours.

I handed down the back of a chair.

Would have given it to you ages ago, but
we didn't know how to find you.

It's not a wedding, Tommy.

You don't skip the choice and rock up at
the reception.

Where you going?

Got an appointment.

See this?

Yeah? This is how the law got onto me in
81.

They found it when they nicked Steve and
then kept his evidence in case they

ever got hold of me.

What's it doing in your eye, man?

Exactly.

Penny.

Hmm?

How about dinner tonight?

In town.

We could talk shop all evening and
people wouldn't complain.

Don't think so, Martha.

Fine.

Not... I mean... Not just yet.

But thank you very much.

Fine.

Of course.

Naturally. Am I allowed to buy you a hot
chocolate?

Full of E numbers.

Yes, please.

Have they come?

Have they come?

Let me see.

Let's see.

Two tickets.

Heathrow to Sydney. God,

isn't it brilliant? Aren't you excited?

I'm very excited.

So, there we are.

Good news.

Unfortunately, this is not good enough.

What's wrong with it?

Douglas Motors must expand. Companies
that stand still die, Stephen. An

elementary truth that you should
recognise.

There is a clearly delineated plan of
development. But not enough, not fast

enough, not enough.

Ambitious! I want a hundred new jobs at
Douglas by the start of the financial

year. Pierce will release money for this
from Claiborne, yes?

Of course.

You'll present me with a strategy by the
end of the week. Just a moment.

No more moments, please.

You will do as I instruct you. I've much
to attend to here.

Goodbye, Steven.

I'll get so fat I'll be gross.

Go on, get them down, yeah.

I suppose I'm feeding you cold, aren't
I?

Oi!

You don't bring me chocolate, then stuff
yourself, bastard.

Listen, you know your dad?

You're questioning my parentage. What's
the matter with him these days?

For one rather pleasant moment, Stephen,
I actually thought you'd come here to

cheer me up.

You know I never talk to you when I want
information.

You know The Probe?

It's a magazine based in New York.

The usual filth buggering, but backed up
by a lot more money. Very, very

powerful. They say what they like about
who the hell they like.

Everybody listens.

What, they're investigating your father?

In depth.

He keeps getting letters from the editor
wanting an interview. Sir, confirm or

deny.

I see.

What do you see?

I see exactly what he's doing with
Douglas Motors.

He wants to be seen as a business
builder, not an asset stripper.

Sounds about right.

A lot of his projects need to be going
under at the moment, I don't know.

He's worried.

What's the matter with you, anyway?

Piers turned me over, did he tell you?

That's not quite how he put it.

Yeah, well, he wouldn't, would he?

You need to put a cigarette on the end
of that to make smoke come out.

Somebody else turned me over a long time
ago.

Why rhythmed extra?

It's funny, Angie.

What's funny?

Well, this.

Why? I mean, it should be so... so
foreign, but it isn't. I mean, I always

thought I'd be too scared to do
something like this.

But there's nothing shocking about her.

Old -ish.

And, uh... Oh.

It's just so strange that it's actually
me.

Here with you.

I'm not alone.

And I'm not afraid.

What?

Back to work.

Ever considered retirement, Angie?

I can recommend it. A word of advice in
advance.

Never, never try to make me give this
up. I get that every day and it makes me

angry. I do it because I'm good at it
and I need the money, OK?

OK.

The idea itself, I have to say, sounds
good.

What? I agree we've created an appetite
for the product. Let's feed the punters.

What do you say?

I'd say it was probably inevitable.

Go with the flow.

Think of the extra jobs.

I am thinking of the extra bloody jobs.

I could have been here today.

That was the general opinion.

Why did you give me all this grief,
Victoria?

You know I only want you for mindless
sex.

Earn it.

Tell me a story.

Okay.

Okay, I'll tell you a story.

It's about a bloke called Derek.

Go on.

Long time ago, Derek had a best friend
called Stephen.

Stop me when this gets too confusing for
you.

Derek had this little scam.

Oh, what is it? Which you persuaded
Stephen to come in on.

What they'd do right is they'd rent a
house near the university, then sublet

to a whole bunch of students, masses of
students, all putting down a deposit.

Then the day before they're all supposed
to move in, Derek and Stephen would do

a runner with the cash, rent a house
somewhere else.

Leaving a great ruck of students arguing
on the doorstep.

Yeah.

I don't like the story.

I don't like the people in it.

The university, of course, got wise.

The police were called.

Stephen got nicked. Derek got away.

The police grilled Stephen for 16 hours.
He told them nothing.

But they found this.

Derek's name on it.

Steve had never been in trouble with the
police before, so he got off with

probation. It was Derek they wanted.

They showed up at his house with a
warrant.

But he got away down a drainpipe.

And ran.

Kept on running.

How do you know it was this that gave
you away?

I lent it to Steve and afterwards he
couldn't find it.

It was the only possible connection
between us.

Steve felt so bad about it.

When he got a job abroad, he let me use
his name.

His whole identity.

But the police didn't have this, you
see.

He had it.

So he lied.

He gave the police your name.

We were so close, Victoria. I can't
believe it.

Now this stupid bastard's gone and died
and I never had the chance to tell him

that it wouldn't have mattered.

It wouldn't have mattered.

But...

It's an ideal of honour, right?

Of love.

That I've built my life around.

That Stephen took the heat for me simply
because he was my friend.

If that was all a lie... Forget it.

All right, so where are they going to
live then, eh?

What, Franklin going to build a bloody
tower block in the village?

25 stories of happy mechanics.

I can't see how they're going to fit
another 100 people in here.

Well, they won't, Fico. They'd bang a
shed up in a car park, wouldn't they?

-ride benches, video surveillance.

Shazam. Battery ends, Bill.

Nothing to say about the money.

You had a robot get some of this.

Oh, sod, all he can do is gesture his
gaffer.

Look, what we've got here is a major
policy decision without consultation.

Right. Without any offer of
compensation.

How do you mean, compensation?

Dink, this is going to change our lives.
Wake up!

I'm going.

I've got the tickets.

That's brilliant.

Liar.

Why a liar?

You don't think it's brilliant. You
think it's insane.

If in doubt, do it.

You'll always regret it if you don't.

That was my only role that was ever
number one.

Yeah, it's funny. I was lying in bed
with Sonia the other night watching the

documentary about Khrushchev. What a
wild and wonderful sex life he was

There was a big party conference.

Someone had submitted a written question
anonymously.

It asked Khrushchev, what were you doing
when Stalin was murdering our people?

He read out the question.

And then he said, who sent me this?

And nobody put their hand up.

So he said, there.

That's what I was doing.

I was watching this.

And I thought, me too.

I've never once put my hand up.

And I want to do it.

Even if I regret it for the rest of my
life.

Because I can't keep on wishing that I
was somewhere else.

Wondering what it would be like.

Not knowing.

It's not knowing that's so awful.

Agreed.

What's agreed?

Tell her, child. Franklin has to
negotiate.

Franklin won't negotiate. He has to.
This is ridiculous. No, he won't.

So what are we agreed about?

The floor is withdrawing its support as
of next week.

Oh, God.

What does that mean?

It means they're going to strike unless
Stephen can get Franklin to the table,

which is what he's going to have to do.

Dad, hasn't Stephen told you what kind
of a mood Franklin's in? I haven't seen

him, but I've heard what this lot have
to say, and I'm with them 100%.

Yes.

Whoa, Penny.

Whoa and nothing.

You're going to get drunk with me.

I think it's the least you can do.

Cheers.

It could not conceivably have come at a
worse time.

There's a certainty about that that's
almost reassuring.

Being a communist, I suppose you
approve.

I appreciate that things are difficult.

I mean, Stephen isn't here half the
time, and even when he is, he isn't.

Daddy's going potty.

Gavin's pissing off to Australia with
the pneumatic Sonia Morris.

That's definite.

He rang to ask if he could come round
tomorrow and say goodbye to the

You said yes?

I said yes.

Couldn't really say anything else, could
I?

Well, you could have done, if you think
about it.

What are you suggesting?

I'm suggesting, and I may be completely
wrong, so don't take offence, that

you're still in love with your husband.

You're right, of course.

I love him.

What a bastard that man is.

Yeah, and another thing. You've got to
put your knickers on outside your

trousers. Supercrane, one more time.
Why? We need you to talk to Franklin.

we're stuffed.

You'll have to see him tomorrow.

Say who? Yeah, well, you, hopefully.

Stephen. Look, things just aren't right
at the moment.

Yeah, tell me about it, all right? With
very little time. Listen!

There's something I've got to sort out
for me.

Understand? Yeah, well, next week.
Tomorrow.

Tomorrow, Marcus, I am going home.

I've got to know, see.

I've got to know.

Willie, do you fancy a drink?

A bit early for me, Marcus, but you go
ahead.

Here, listen.

I've been doing some asking.

And to be honest with you, Willie, it
doesn't look like there's a job for you.

Just at the moment.

I'm sorry, I know, Steve.

Look, I'm really sorry, eh?

I'm not too proud to clean lavvies, you
know.

Yeah, well, you're not cleaning any
lavvies round here, man. Forget it.

You're a driver. You drive cars, right?

Right.

Tell you what, now.

Why don't I go home for a wee while? You
here, if anything, you give me a

tinkle, OK?

I'll make some phone calls.

Mind how you go, Willie.

Gavin, Gavin, Gavin!

Yes, yes, yes.

What if Colin doesn't come and get me?

Colin is on his way. I've just spoken to
him.

Yeah, but... Now, listen.

Ten minutes.

Just as long as it takes to say goodbye.

That's all.

Now,

we want no tears today, please. No fuss.

Tom? Have you brushed your teeth?

Yeah.

But he won't want to go to Australia
thinking what a pair of misery guts you

now, will he?

Where's your hanky? I haven't got one.

I gave you one five minutes ago. What
have you done with it?

I don't know, darling.

Please don't.

Oh, you stupid boy, now look what you've
done.

The door's open.

Everything all right?

Mr. Franklin, it takes at least four
years to train a craftsman until he is

to make his part of the leopard.

Alas, Mr.

Douglas, have you got world enough and
time?

Sorry,

Mr. Douglas, I've given the management
my instructions.

If the management cannot fulfill them,
it will have to be replaced.

You must excuse me. I'm having an
accident.

What the hell?

You got any ideas?

I'm trying to think like Stephen.

I wouldn't do that if I were you. You'd
be sick.

What do you

want,

Derek?

What's on your mind?

Stephen.

What about him?

Alex, I think you're the strongest
person I've ever met.

You're going to tell me something
terrible now, aren't you?

No, but I want to ask you a question.

Is it possible that Stephen shot me to
the police?

I don't care, Alex. I just want to know.

Do you know?

Do you know how much Stephen worshipped
you?

Listen, I should never... I had to beg
him, Derek.

I had to beg him not to tell them that
it was all his fault, that you had

nothing to do with it.

Jesus, if he could hear you say that.

I'm sorry.

You should be.

Now go, will you?

I want to honour my dead a little longer
before people like you start to spit on

his corpse.

Oh, that was about 12.

Listen. Being married is a bit of a
strain.

You have to be everything to each other
all the time.

Like best friends all the time.

It's not just about love and being
parents, see?

It's money, houses, making decisions
about the future.

About the past.

It's almost too much to expect of two
people on their own.

Mummy and I came to the conclusion that
we found out that

I need a bit of outside help.

Basically, if I need that kind of help,
it's a weakness.

Which means that I'm not good enough for
mummy.

Or that the situation isn't good enough.

Either way, we've got to stop the whole
thing and start

again.

From scratch.

Does mummy love you anymore?

No.

No, I don't believe she does.

That's all you have to do.

That's the only thing you ever have to
do.

Look after mum.

Yeah.

Even when she's being cross with you.

That's all part of it.

You okay?

Yeah.

Right, I can go.

Promise you won't forget.

Now the biggest boomerang I can find.

As soon as I get there.

I'll be in touch.

What for?

See how you are?

See who I am now.

Listen, Penny.

Safe journey, Gavin.

Goodbye.

Hey, have you got your passport?

No, actually. I threw it in the bin. I
didn't think I'd need it.

Look, if it doesn't work out, come home.

Ring me. I'll buy you something.

It will work.

I have no interest in chauffeurs. It's a
dead weight for this mystery this year.

You cannot play with the telephone on
drive, Daddy. It's illegal.

One day you'll have a really bad
accident and you'll get killed and I

forgive you.

Did you play cricket?

Not really, sir. Good. This thrust
manner of play cricket.

Bless you.

And another thing. What?

This is a transparent conspiracy.

I had a small misfortune with a bollard
and within two hours you're selling me a

driver. So you're patently unwell and
should be in bed. I'm perfectly all

This is presumably a manoeuvre of
Stephen Crane's.

Stop!

Your reactions are good. Continue.

Crane, no?

You're

not

locked the door again, Tommy.

Relax.

I've only come to read the papers.

What's

this

then? Big brown envelope.

All the pressure out of the box.

I threw it away.

Didn't want the law to find it.

Didn't throw it far enough.

It's the worst time lie I ever heard,
Tommy. That's your point.

Hey!

Get it!

Cut it out.

Forget about the past. Forget about us.
Come on, piss off.

Forget about the past.

That's called hypocrisy, isn't it?

This probe affair weighs on me like
lead.

I'm sorry.

The last thing I wanted to do was add to
your problems.

You tried.

Douglas Motors is a fine little
business, Joanna, but I've indulged it

enough.

Start testing medicine to grow so fast.

But next year, detect me.

Daddy, be careful of Stephen.

Piers told me what he did to Jimmy
Blake.

Ah.

Sure.

If you'd like to take your boarding pass
and go through, Miss Morris, I'll have

all this ready when Miss Nichols
arrives.

It'd save a bit of time.

You drove for Jimmy Black.

Yes, sir. Pleasant experience?

Hell on earth, sir.

I like you, Willie.

Thank you, sir.

Buy a decent suit.

Yes, sir.

Now, take me to Douglas Motors.

Douglas Motors?

I believe that's what I said.

Would you not care to sit in the back,
sir?

Really, our relationship will not
progress well if you insist on

everything I say and do. Get in.

Sorry, sir.

I want to hear stories about Jimmy
Blake.

Last call for passengers on Ausair
flight OZ164747 service to

Bombay, Singapore, Perth, Melbourne and
Sydney.

All passengers should proceed to gate
18.

Gate 18, Mr. Nichols. Run!

All passengers to flight OZ1647 to
Bombay, Singapore,

Perth. Melbourne and Sydney, please
proceed to gate 18.

I knew you'd be here.

I knew it. I love you, Gavin. I knew
you'd make it.

You're not coming.

You're not coming. You've come to say
goodbye.

Come and go.

Can't go.

That is a kid you will never forget.

I wish you... I had no idea any of this
was happening.

She... Don't say anything.

Just stand absolutely still.

Mr. Franklin, do come in.

This time is inconvenient?

Not in the slightest.

Take a seat.

Now, what can we do for you?

I was in the vicinity. I wish to speak
with Stephen.

He's not here, I'm afraid.

Then I should like to leave a message.

Not a good time.

Why don't you take a walk? Ten minutes,
come back later.

Well, I, um... I tend to get lost around
here, Angie.

Goodbye. Some other time, maybe.

He came here, Stephen, specifically to
see you. Why didn't he wait? How the

should I know? He'd probably have to go
and buy the NEC or something. But the

main thing is, he's offered us a way
out, and it's dead bloody simple.

He wants a favour, and it's a little
thing he said to himself.

We promised you'd get back to him. I
know what the favour is. It is not

Well, we wouldn't want to put you out.

Gerald. It's a probe, Marcus.

Do you know, as well as I do, I can't
afford to draw their fire. I've got more

history than Stonehenge.

But why don't you think about it?

Why don't I do that?

You used me to bargain with behind my
back and this is what you get.

Marty makes the world go on. How did you
get in here?

With a key.

I didn't give you a key.

Probably why I had to get one cut.

Vodka, latte, vegetable lasagna.

Sit down.

Vegetable lasagna.

One has to be very careful what one
eats.

Otherwise it tends to drop off one's
fork.

Drink this.

It'll make me sound witty.

There isn't that much wine in the world.

Look, I appreciate this is a surprise
and everything, but I just don't like

idea... Ward's Law.

Rule number one.

Piers.

What?

Stop trying to be like Stephen all the
time.

I've been there. I've done that. I don't
want it again. I want you.

I don't want a man who steals 300 grand
from flavors and splits it with Jimmy

Blake.

It was Stephen that did that, wasn't it?

Oh, God, it was you.

You lied to me.

It was brilliant, Jo.

Stephen would never have followed it
through.

He's too soft.

Get out.

Get out.

Who?

Yeah?

These students. They were all girls.

What a shit.

Who?

Me.

Well, they were just easier to get the
money from, that's all.

More thrusting.

What a shit.

The student who said he did not wish to
be named said he first began his

business when asked to part with three
months deposit in cash.

Don't you see?

You told me yourself the students were
all girls.

Do you remember?

He did not wish to be named. Too bloody
right he didn't.

He wasn't a student.

And he wasn't me. And he wasn't Steve,
because Steve was with me all the time.

Do you remember? You used to call me the
man in the white coat.

Do you still think of me that way?

Don't understand.

There was a... Time in this brief
relationship, Stephen, when if I told

do something, you'd do it.

Just for the sheer thrill of obeying me,
because it was a new experience for

you.

I've never been so flattered in my life.

Nothing's changed.

Then do as I say, Stephen. Please, leave
this thing alone.

I'm not Stephen.

Oh, you are.

Who the hell else are you? You only
exist this way.

Derek loved just another name.

This whole bloody thing is coming
between us.

I hate it.

Where are you going?

Beats me, Tommy.

What does? I mean, apart from being a
pretty unforgivable, shitty thing to do

your own brother, it's not a very
reliable source of income, apparently.

What the hell are you talking about?

I've heard the police sometimes
completely forget to pay their grasses.

Isn't that shocking?

How much they pay you, by the way?

They did pay you, didn't they?

Because if they didn't, we really ought
to see someone.

I didn't shock you, Derek.

Of course you did. Chuck, that's you all
over, isn't it?

You were the only one that knew.

Derek! Weren't you?

It wasn't me!

You weren't the only one that knew.

Hello, Daddy.

Hello.

Meet Daddy.

What are you doing here?

What happened?

I missed my flight.

Where's Sonia?

You're drunk.

I was.

I was very drunk.

What do you want, Gavin?

I want to lie down.

Beside you.

I think... I think if I don't lie down
beside you, I'm really going to die.

He is?

Go back one.

What do you want, Steve? Well, it's five
o 'clock in the morning.

I want to tell you about my life.

Is it interesting?

Not really.

It just explains a few things, that's
all.

Saving me.

From what? A life of crime?

Yeah.

Chucking me head first down the straight
and narrow.

Short, sharp shock.

Fathers.

Where did we go wrong?

And he never even had the guts to tell
you he'd done it later.

No.

As a family, we're not distinguished by
honesty.

Or courage.

I think it was pretty brave of you to
dig it all up like that.

Do you?

Yes, I do.

Why isn't that allowed?

There are those who would disagree.

How's Piers?

He's fine.

Yes, he's fine.

Getting on all right?

Yep.

Does he pull your hair for you like I
used it?

I'm sorry, what if I asked him to?

How's Victoria?

Fine. Good.

Well, we're all fine then.

Look, Stephen, I must go to sleep now.

Okay, listen.

Thanks a lot.

I really need you just to get it off my
chest, you know.

Talk to someone.

Thanks. I'll give you a ring soon, okay?

Okay.

Sleep well.

You always talk to me.

Sorry, I'm a compulsive eavesdropper.

Don't panic. I only heard the last bit.

What's the situation here?

Situation is the boys have confirmed
their intention to strike.

General speculation about why you don't
get your finger out and do what Franklin

wants you to do.

It's a long story, Robert.

Yes, I know it is.

Derek.

Oh, well, that's that, then.

What do you mean?

I'm obviously in for some heavy -duty
blackmail.

Not from me, you're not.

Or from Penny, then.

She gives you any trouble, you send her
to me.

Listen, I appreciate that getting mixed
up with Franklin can make life very

dangerous for you. But if you do
anything, you do it of your own free

not at all.

You wouldn't use what Penny told you to
make me do it?

To save your company?

Certainly not.

Why not?

Your family.

I'm gonna do it.
