Ruthie! Ruthie!

Ruthie, come here, I've got something for you.

Come here.

Snake!

You all right, Eddie?

Mum?

Mum?

Mumma!

Mumma! Mumma!

Mumma! Eddie?

Oh, God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, God.

What? Oh, my God.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

What's happening?

Bollocks round his neck. Can I answer the phone? Word for word, verb or

verbatim. And tell him he's a tight -fisted prick.

And tell him from me, tricks like this get round. He's going to be a very

guy in two years' time. He needs somebody to write to from bloody prison.

answer the phone?

Mackingcock's text file. Trudy speaking. How can I help you?

What's the message, Sue?

Shit.

Jane, she's washed her hair.

Hey, Vince, where's your Martin?

He's on the boat.

What's wrong with me?

If you've got a week, I'll tell you.

What was that?

Personal.

It's been proper.

Stuart.

What's happening?

Where's Sue?

She won't talk to me.

Where's Eddie?

Up those stairs.

Get him out. He's scaring us.

Right. OK, come on.

Why won't she talk to me? Where have you been?

13 months. Where have you been for 13 months?

I've been here.

I got off... I've been coming here.

Christ, we thought you were dead.

Do you know my name?

Martin. How?

If you can't remember where the hell you've been.

I don't feel like I've forgotten anything.

They found your wagon in Hull.

Car park at the port.

Police thought you'd been robbed.

After ten days, they went through all the statements and the only other

who saw you around... Saw you near the water.

They thought you must have topped yourself.

Why would I want to do that?

Well, the only other explanation was you'd liked it.

From what?

Yeah?

Martin, what are you shooting off for?

What's going on? What are you doing there?

It's Kev.

Kev?

Stop pissing the boat.

Are you there?

All right, Kev.

What are you doing, man?

Five away, game seven at home. Shit mid -season. What, there were stars in

there? Beckham, bang, every time.

I started going with Pete Dewis.

Dewey. But it weren't the same, and he's... Hey, get on with.

Get on with now.

Babs. Barbara Fisher.

I know.

Before the trampster.

Walking. Before you were walking.

I can't remember.

Before you can't remember.

It's taking a piss.

You're taking the piss!

But can we go somewhere else?

No. What's the matter? Feeling a bit of pressure?

Good. I swear, you'd better start talking or I'm gonna... Go on.

See, he remembers where the bogs are.

Go away, Yvonne.

OK.

I'll never forgive him for this. For what? For not being dead?

Listen, get another round in. When we finish that, we'll have another. Then

another, then another.

Stuart can't drink.

We're getting pissed. He might start talking.

Calm down.

It's not going to calm down, all right?

Come on, ask me now.

Ask me now.

I know nothing. I know nothing.

Come on, lay off.

Nothing.

Police want to interview you.

Do you want to go in or do you want them to come here?

Why you?

Me what?

Sue rang you first, didn't she?

Well, who else do you belong to, eh?

Yeah.

What's the matter?

You've got stitching.

What?

i don't know

where's

your brother with two wagons that should have been on their way to london i've

minds having time off he clears it with me not trudy he had to see the doctor

Get the gospel oak stuff off there.

Dr. McDermott to A &E.

Dr. McDermott to A &E.

Yeah, right.

The radiologist has gone over your pictures.

How private do you want this?

He wants me here.

Depths of about three millimetres at the top end, five millimetres at the bottom

end. So it's not a surgical scar.

Too superficial.

We think it's a knife wound.

Stanley knife, art knife, razor.

How old is it?

The sutures look about two, three days old, and there's a laceration and

swelling behind the right ear.

So you've taken a fair old whack recently, but as far as we can tell,

nothing medically wrong with you.

Have you asked her about your memory?

I forgot.

So when did that start improving?

I couldn't say.

Well, who could?

I'd have to refer you to psychiatric services.

What, you're scared of?

I'm not scared of nothing. I just don't want to see a shrink, all right?

I would.

Well, good for you, Martin. Why don't you have my appointment?

And while you're at it, why don't you ask him why you're nearly 32 and you're

living on your own? Hey!

I'm the only one on your side right now. And try remembering this shit face.

In our heads, we've all been to your funeral.

Hey!

I've done nothing wrong, you know. No?

Then where'd you get a bloody knife wound?

Tell him I'll have to wait.

Stuart.

How's it going?

It's good to see you in one piece.

Steve.

Supervisor?

Trudy. Formula One driver and part -time model.

Anyone want a coffee?

Where did that cowboy go? The dogs have lost his sense.

I think that means you go in.

But that cowboy's gone and went.

You know, they just found Mallory under the Everest summit.

Frozen dead.

30 years after he made the expedition.

That's what you call a disappearing act, Stuart.

Mac, just let him talk. And they can't tell whether he was on his way up or

down.

You got your wagon back.

What have you lost?

Talk.

What I lost.

What I lost was materials, 12 grand, contract delays, 2 grand, hiking the

premiums, 2 grand.

I've come to put things right, Mike. Oh, you can do that, can you? Oh, right,

OK. Sit down now, do us a check for 16 grand.

Where you been, Stuart?

Saudi?

Get out, Stuart!

Where are you going?

I've got a sick note for this morning, you personally.

Beyond sixes.

I loaded that wagon.

I know exactly what went out in it the day he disappeared, and I know exactly

what came back. The same.

If you stitch the insurance up, that's your problem.

You're after his job back.

It cost you nothing.

There must be a lot of catching up he needs to do with his missus.

I'm just curious as to why you want to keep him busy at work, Martin.

Look, I'm not saying wash him, but can you empty your cartons?

Can you empty your cartons, Winston?

Shut the door.

Come on Sue.

These are all mates.

You can trust us.

Pudi! Driving Sue home.

Oh, right, OK.

Take her van.

Take the taxi van, yeah?

Right, OK.

Whenever you're ready, Sue.

I've applied for his P45.

Now, if he's been earning straight money the last year, we'll find out where, if

you're interested.

Why have you applied for his P45?

You're taking him back?

Yeah, he cost us money.

How else do I get restitution?

What about my money?

What do I do if I have to quit the food ramp? It gets easier.

Oh, don't be daft.

I mean, if he's out driving, he won't even see him. He doesn't deserve this,

Mac.

He's told me absolutely nothing.

Trudy, you didn't have to do this.

I know.

I don't know where these go.

Do you mind if we don't talk about it?

No, I don't, Sue.

It's a big thing.

How strong do you take it?

Excellent. Will you give us a couple of minutes? That is both of you.

Connor, where's Eddie?

His dad came.

He what?

His dad picked him up.

How can you say it'll be OK?

Sue, calm down. You're doing nobody any good.

You told me it'd be OK when my husband first went missing. But it wasn't, was

it? It bloody wasn't!

I'm in Miss Beaton's class now.

Colin and Christopher went into Miss Patton's.

They're in a port cabin, which is a pity.

But the port cabin's amazing, and I'm in a costume, so, you know.

Who taught you to roll a blade?

Mum.

Mum can't skate.

Can't now. It was great, cos she got about this far. She fell off, and Uncle

Martin's now there wetting himself.

But he stays on the natural, and the night before, he's heated.

Uncle Martin taught you?

Yeah.

Great.

Let's sort it out for you.

Yeah.

Anything?

Nothing.

Could I get a hold of the car?

Not unless you nick one. He's got no credit card. I went through his wallet.

Look, we'll start off at the school and cover the route home.

Hang on.

We found him.

Bean bun toast?

No, thanks.

You need the chili.

I want to work with me dad.

He's in the kitchen, Sue.

Oh, God.

Where's your dad?

He's here.

Don't ever do that again!

What did you call the cops for?

What was we going to do? I don't know what you're going to do, because I don't

know you!

If you want to see your son, Stuart, you've done the bloody right!

Sue, come on.

Do we get an explanation?

So that's a no, then?

Hey.

Do I get an explanation?

For what?

That's for taking me son of me wife, you slimy bastard!

He's waited eight years to screw you!

They're mine.

They owe the man.

We were going to Blackpool, making an early start.

I slept in Eddie's bed.

He slept with his mum.

She came to me.

What about the other time?

You know what it took to bury me?

Six months.

You waved goodbye and then you shot me wide.

And I always thought you were gay, man.

Where you at?

Back to set for you.

You used my phone during the night?

I press redial.

0114 276.

Then it stops.

What's the rest of it, Stuart?

I don't know.

Yeah, yeah, right.

Listen, Martin... Go on, go where you were going.

I would just go to Kev's.

Kev won't have you.

He's thinking same as me, same as everybody else. Whatever you got

mixed up in, I hope you suffered for it. I really do.

Mixed up in what? What are you talking about? Guy carrying freight.

to a port supply in northern Europe.

Vanishes. Needs people to believe he's dead. Even his own family.

When he does dare resurface, it's with a five -inch knife wound.

How thick do you think we all are?

You've taken something from somebody who wants it back, haven't you?

You talking about drugs?

Oh, I don't do drugs. I've never done drugs. How do you know?

You're taking the piss, Stuart.

Get out.

Listen, Martin, I wouldn't deal drugs. Yeah, yeah, get out!

I don't know what that number is.

I swear to God.

0114 276.

I want to remember it, man. I... I can't. I... I can't.

Hello? Hi, it's me.

Is this about time? No, sorry, it's all right.

Look can I ring you back later?

What are you staring at? Do some bloody work!

Thank you.

Where's Eddie?

At Mum's.

It's like, er, yours.

I actually felt my heart stop.

I know people say it as a joke.

When I hiked down in there in the kitchen, it did.

You scared me.

I scared you.

Yeah.

I couldn't understand why everyone was yelling at me.

You must have known why.

I thought it was buying this place.

He said we'd overstretched on the mortgage.

He didn't blame me for us being short, but when he left, that was the only

I could think of.

Money.

Martin didn't try anything.

I don't want to know.

He just looked after us.

Good for mine.

I don't want Eddie finding you here in the morning. Not yet.

That's why Eddie wants it.

You didn't see him 12 months back.

1114276 1114276

1114276

1114276 1114276

Yours. Yeah.

I'd put that thing closer for that. Yeah, well, I wouldn't shout about that

Couldn't find any way back from the hole.

Right, it's mainly local drops. A couple of trans -Pennines.

Chesterfield and Halifax. But I want you back by six. Do you hear me?

I owe you, mate.

Oh, I know.

What are you doing?

He'll be riding shotgun for a couple of trips.

What do you seem so sure of each other?

If he starts drifting towards Malaga, take the wheel.

Okay.

Is she taking you back?

We'll get over it.

Paperless.

On the shelf over there.

Cheers. Cheers.

Yeah,

I've got a delivery for you. Can you tell me where you are?

No direction, smartass.

Just give me the postcode.

I thought we were going to Ritalin.

Where are we going?

Up ahead.

Speak from the right.

Hey come on Stuart, how much do you want to remember?

Excuse me, mate. Do you know where your transport manager is? By the gate. Hi,

Stuart.

Come here!

Come

here

you!

Robin! Robin!

Robin!

Blame it on the boogie.

I don't want to hurt you.

Can you tell me your name, love?

Can you tell me your name, love?

Can you tell me your name?

You've got Wiggles, you know.

Thanks anyway, mate.

What?

What happened?

Should anything have happened to it?

I don't know.

Get in.

Where we going?

30 Fairstone Avenue.

What? You know what it means, Stuart?

I don't know.

We'll see when we're getting warm.

Weekend for two.

Okay,

girls and boys, you know the music sounds better with you, so let's see you

that dance floor.

Warm? Warmer?

Oh my God.

Stuart, I thought you weren't coming back till tomorrow.

Come here, I'll show you something.

Look who's here.

I know.

Let's show Daddy what you can do. Come on.

Come on.

Say hello to Daddy.

Go on.

Let's show Daddy what you can do.

Go on.

Go on, say hello to Daddy.

Isn't she clever?

You're a clever girl.

Clever girl.

Sorry to disturb you, Mrs McIntosh.

It's all right. I need to go anyway.

Stuart's not here.

And nobody's seen Martin.

Is the wagon back yet?

No.

And Martin's mobile's switched off.

What do you think?

What's wrong?

Stuart,

what's wrong?

I... I

made... I've made a mistake,

Marie.

I've done something bad.

Kenny?

Who's he?

This is Martin, your husband's brother.

This is Marie, my sister.

No,

wait, because you said you had no family.

I have.

I have got a family.

Oh, my God, don't.

Don't do it, cos I don't think I can. I had no right marrying you.

He's got a wife and kid in Manchester.

You knew?

Not until last week.

From one of them new drivers who come from Stockport.

He recognised you, didn't he?

Eh?

I told him to tell you. I tried to make him tell you.

Last time I saw him were three days back.

You're in casualty at infirmary.

I know because I put him there.

I've admitted that to him.

You only lost your memory three days back.

Where did 13 months go, Stuart?

What have you come for?

Is he coming back?

I've just met his other wife in Sheffield.

They've got a baby.

Minnie was made up when she found out she was pregnant.

But I was going to tell Sue that day.

But I took the shortcut.

And I bailed out.

Eddie.

What were you thinking about him the day you vaporized?

He still has nightmares.

I've heard him.

He's not going to want to see me now, is he?

Especially if you've got anything to do with it.

You didn't come back for Eddie or anybody else, did you?

You come back by mistake.

You sad bastard.

I had nurses and doctors and x -rays and stitches and

what's -your -name, what's -your -name, what's -your -name, and I had no idea.

I didn't know.

All I could think was, I want to go home.

I have to get home.

So I went home.

Do you know if she's here yet?

I think so.

She sent me a note.

She wants to talk to me.

I think that's a good idea.

I have to.

Leach. Sorry, Mrs. Susan.

Yeah, I think that would make her wait here for you.

Don't wait, Martin.

That's when the neighbours reckon out their bat went up first.

Can we do that tomorrow, mate? I need to get the kids sorted, really. They're

staying here for the time being.

Well, look at him. They're wrecked. He did what?

He did what? I didn't think so. You must be bloody desperate.

I was just taking a look at the tea. I know, and you went in there without

knocking.

There you go, lad. There you go.

I don't want you to go.

What's wrong with me? Jesus!

I think you're a lot more qualified than either of us to sort you out.

I don't think I've got a fair hearing.

Who are you, Jim?

Single bloke with a house and a car.

Got three gifts.
