Original subtitles

Come on there, big star.

All right, fellas, where are we up to?

You're all packed and ready to go, mate.

OK, let's get the show on the road.

Quick as you can today, eh?

If we don't get these orders out by tonight, Mac's going to blow a fuse.

You tell Mac if there's a snarl up on the A52, we've got more chance of

there, I'll put.

All right, then.

All right, Ronnie.

Single file on the 52 again.

When are they going to finish that bleed road?

And about strapped in their arses all day, Ron. Wouldn't know I'd graft if it

jumped on the side of their head.

See you, lad.

It's safe on his mouth.

Come on.

All right,

give me some.

Come on.

Here you go.

It meant to be you.

Sorry.

Has Ronnie called in yet?

Ronnie? No. Why?

He's gone AWOL. I've just had Kingfisher on the phone. He hasn't made the drop

yet. What time did he set off?

First thing.

He should be halfway back by now. Jesus, where the hell is he?

I get back on the phone to them, I want to know the minute he arrived.

Okay, mate.

Truck's over there.

Come on.

Judy?

It's me, Robbie.

Something terrible's happened.

Can I have a word?

Yes.

You all

right?

What's nasty?

Just got to be in one piece.

Yeah, get it seen to.

Chase McIntosh, I own the factory.

DS Carlin, I got reinsured.

Bastards. I need a list of everything that's gone.

No problem. You got copies of the delivery note? Yeah. Yeah?

And a load this size has got to be a professional job. I think we can safely

rule out opportunists. What's the chances of finding them?

We'll see no crime checking the truck for prints.

We'll need a statement from your driver.

Ronnie, you make sure you tell him everything he can remember.

Bastards won't get away with this.

Did they hurt him?

Cuts and bruises. Nothing too serious.

Well, I want to see him. Where is he? Can I see him? He's down at the

The hospital?

It's nothing to worry about. They just need to run a couple of tests. That's

all. I'm going over there now.

You know what? You're with him.

Can you remember what clothes they were wearing?

Yeah, yeah.

Balaclavas.

Apart from the balaclavas.

What about the one whose face you saw?

I don't know.

Roughly. Old, young, fat, thin.

No, I don't know.

Let's hope you do better on the picture round.

Come on, Ronnie, try and think.

Well, it all happened so quick, didn't it? One minute I was driving along and

the next minute, bang!

The route you took this morning, is that the route you always take?

It's the quickest.

Who else knows the route?

No -one.

Erm, Martin.

Martin? Yeah, Martin Leach, transport manager. Dad!

Dad!

It's my lad.

It's only what happened.

How are you? I live.

I'd rather have an X -ray to see if you've knocked any bloody sense into me.

They could have killed you. No.

I'm all right.

I'll talk to them again later.

That, all of them, transport log, route planner, delivery booklet, far back as

it goes, DG notes, I'll bring the log.

Hey, get someone to cover the loading bay, I don't want drivers standing idle.

Martin, that flight to Rio's all sorted.

Just it, Kev.

For a professional gang to make a successful hit, they need to know two

What the truck was carrying and where it's going to be.

How did they get that information?

Someone down there tells them.

But who tells them?

Cleaner?

Tea lady?

You do.

No way.

This is nothing to do with me.

This has got inside job written all over it.

For God's sake, it's not me.

Don't say too much about the robbery. She'll only worry.

Oh, hiya.

What's happened to your face?

A bit of bother.

Looks worse than it is.

OK, well, it's all done in there.

I'd better dash up and miss the bus and walk in.

OK. Thanks a lot.

Thanks.

Bye.

We're under pressure to make the drops on time. So what? The route planner just

goes out the window?

It's no use to me if I've got stock sitting in a five -mile tailback. I

the driver to find the best way.

This bloke, Ronnie.

He didn't tell you he was going to go off -route?

There's roadworks on the 52. He was probably trying to cut round.

So there's only one person who knew exactly where that truck was going.

You've just got to accept it as one of the hazards of the job, haven't you?

There's nothing you can do about it.

Well, the bank's a bit of a bed, is it? They never used to pick on trucks, did

they? We're easy pickings, aren't we? Come on, kid, there you go.

Now, careful, this might be a bit hot.

Oh, aye, the things some of these drivers have to put up with.

It should be on danger, won't it?

Do you remember how Larry Stafford who went to work for Security Corps?

He reckons he's safer now than when he was on the trucks.

It's a bloody mugs game.

You've changed your tune.

Weren't talking like that when I was on about going for my HTV.

That's because you had your hat set on it.

Yeah, well, I went to be with it.

Nothing down for us.

You're better off as you are.

Has he never come to you for money?

A small loan.

Sub to the end of the week? No. He knows you wouldn't get it.

Which is record -like. Ever had to give him a bollocking?

Never. Well, next you'll be telling me his shit smells of roses. He's got a

disabled wife, for Christ's sake. He wouldn't get involved.

He's exactly the sort of person who would get involved.

I'm not putting in for him. Why not?

People say he's in on it.

People talk a load of crap.

Run it straight as they come.

Sam.

When they arrest him, I want that back.

What?

What did you say?

Hey, listen.

He's got now to do with it, so keep that out.

Right?

Didn't take long for the tongues to start wagging, did it?

Some people have got nothing better to talk about.

Oh, I believe the police dragged you in yesterday, didn't they?

What were they asking?

The team.

You know what they're like. They don't trust anybody.

Why do they always think it has to be one of us?

Nick.

There you go.

Quit.

You know, your dad's a good bloke.

Everybody knows.

Yeah, I know.

Come to him what to get him, though. Any ideas?

I'll have to think.

Cheers, mate.

See you later.

See you.

Open your

eye.

Look at the state of that.

She hates it. She hates it.

You've got a face like a smackdash.

First thing in the morning, she'll be down to B &Q.

All right, Dad.

All right, Ronnie.

You look rock hard, you.

You want to see the other fella? He was off school for the week.

Oh, what's this?

Oh,

look at this.

Are you up here at last?

Well, I thought it was about time I dragged you into the 21st century.

Oi, that were my idea.

You were going to get your walk.

Beam me up, Scotty.

The one at the top's your on button. And you can programme all your favourite

numbers into it so you don't have to keep typing them in.

Go on, show them all the stuff it does.

Yeah.

Better keep track of you, you know. No more disappearing acts.

Right. That's your on button.

Ceilings cream and we've done the walls in a powder blue.

They all finish red. Sky blue, but there's no way.

Like a shrine to Manchester Bloody City.

Not a cup in the house.

Read me your score.

Anyone want more tea?

No, Tom.

Here it is. Here it is. Truck driver victim of hijack gang.

There's a massive picture of a factory. That could be chuffed.

A loaded driver has become the latest victim of a hijack gang.

All right, Brad. Don't leave that out of the loud.

Why not?

It's not every day you get your name in the paper.

A hijack gang operate in the Greater Manchester area.

The gang bundled terrified chucker Ronald Anderson into the boot of a car

drove him round for three hours before Stimley's loan... Leave it!

Welcome, Nick.

Thought you'd give them up.

The odd one won't kill me.

Sorry.

Just thought it was funny.

Terrified, Trucker?

Cheeky bladers.

Man of means by no means.

Hiya. Hiya!

You all right, Pebble?

This place looked like a bomber, didn't it? Aye, Nick and Meg are out.

Where's the couple of bloody five -year -olds?

How was work?

Business as usual, no problem.

You managed to hang on to your load today, then, eh? Just about.

Fancy him.

Losing his wagon, eh?

That bugger.

What are we going to do with him?

Right.

That's me done.

Monica, do you live?

Yeah, if it's no bother.

No, it's no problem. I've got a nip into town.

It's an easy swing by your place.

Great pads are screaming, aren't they?

I want a nip into the spare shop just before they shut.

OK.

Right, Jess.

It's all sorted down here. I'll do upstairs tomorrow. All right, darling.

get everything?

Yeah. Oh, hang on.

I'm done.

anyone's ever told you this before, but you are the most beautiful woman in the

world.

Yeah, I get it all the time.

Oh, I could say it forever.

I didn't think they'd hurt you.

It's worth every little scratch if it means we can be together.

Can we trust him?

What choice have we got?

Made the right mess, haven't they?

Mind you, you were now to look out before, were you?

Did that hurt?

What do you think?

Good.

Psychology.

See, you get your face smashed in, you're the victim.

When do I get my money?

Couple of weeks. Come on.

A month?

Oh, sure.

You'll get it.

Three o 'clock.

It's going to be a bit late, isn't it?

See you.

What's up?

Matt wants to see you. ASAP.

Good news.

They've caught one of the bastards that did you over.

Who?

James Green.

First timer. Got out of his debt.

How did they find him?

Pratt broke into a computer warehouse in Stretford.

Guard dog got hold of him by the time the police arrived after his leg was

missing.

There's prints all over your truck.

What about the others?

No joy.

Hopalong won't talk. Claims he's nothing to do with it.

Police reckon they'll get him to change his mind.

Hello?

Ronnie? No, Nick. Hang on. Who is it?

Frankie.

Frankie.

Hello, Frankie?

What can I do for you?

Police spoken to you?

No, why?

Jimmy Green reckons I've mentioned your name, so be careful.

Right, right, thanks.

But what if he talks?

He won't. Yeah, but what if he does? He won't. He could get us all put away,

him. He won't get me put away, mate.

I never should have got involved. I don't know why I did get involved.

You need the money.

And if you keep calm, you'll get it. Done it hundreds of times, you said,

you? Be no trouble at all, a piece of piss. Hey, you knew the risk.

If it goes wrong, you go down. End of story.

Now go on, sit tight.

No.

This one?

No.

What about this one?

Nothing's like him.

He looks like the bloke who owns the chippy.

No.

You haven't forgotten about tonight, have you?

Tonight? What about it?

We're down to eight.

See you later.

Two green and white pills. And if that's all, it's nine o 'clock. No later, OK?

Mum likes to get out of the wheelchair for a couple of hours before she goes to

bed. Be careful on your left, because them swords are playing. All right, son.

The wheel on that bloody thing is sticking, so you'd better give it a

little tug.

Right. Yeah, all right.

Yeah, all right.

Yeah, that's fine. OK.

Oh, er... I might go for a drink with a couple of the lads after the meeting. Is

that OK?

OK, yeah. Shouldn't be too late.

See you later.

Come on, penny for him.

Eh?

Nothing.

Liar.

Trish, I'm scared.

I'm frightened to bloody death.

I'm scared too, but... Once the money comes through, that's it.

Worry's over.

We're going to be together.

I've never been certain of anything in my life.

Come

here.

I can't. I've got to get back.

Just half an hour.

I didn't hear it. I tried three times.

I didn't hear it. Could have been an emergency or anything.

I didn't hear the bloody thing.

What's the problem?

The feed keeps wheeling. I can't get her on it.

You should have waited till I come home.

She's tired. It's too late for her.

One night, Nick.

One bloody night.

Hi, mate.

Hiya.

How was the union meeting?

Canceled. Cartwright was supposed to be chairing it, but he was laid up.

Severe constipation.

With the agony, apparently.

I always thought he was full of shit.

What's it like?

That's right.

Hmm.

Martin reckoned his car out was on fire last night.

That was on a dirty farm, isn't it?

Should have been a stand -up for media.

This way.

So, er... What's your resident error ratio?

It's presently one to four.

And a 24 -hour emergency cover?

24 hours, 365 days a year.

I presume...

You've got your HSE certificate?

Of course. All our staff are fully up to date with health and safety procedure.

But we run ongoing training of the safety net.

We also provide an excellent social calendar, event outings.

It's important to offer residents both physical and intellectual support.

Ronnie?

It's good.

Yeah.

So, how much are we talking, then?

The standard rate is 3 .40.

Per week.

Well, they can charge what they like.

By the time people walk in there, they're desperate.

I know it's a bloody racket, isn't it?

It's cheaper to stay at the Southern Ritz.

Three years.

We give her half the robbery money.

It's enough to last her for three years.

What if we give her the lot?

We need a place of our own, Trish, don't we?

No, half of everything, that's what we agreed.

Three years, anything on top, that'll be a bonus.

Trish, this is our chance.

It's Jess.

She's collapsed.

They've had to rush her into St Mary's.

Part of me hoped she was dead.

Little person here said if she dies, you're up to hook.

Oh, Alex Stewart.

She didn't have to give them up because of her.

She loved the fag.

She could hardly hold a bugger.

Nearly burnt the house down.

I loved it, Trish.

She was so full of life, so full of joy.

She sparkled.

Doesn't sparkle now, does she?

Hey, Wynne.

You got a pint, Pop?

You're going to stay?

No reason to go back.

I've got you all to myself.

It's going to be like this all the time, Finn.

Glad I washed the sheets.

Trish, there's something I've got to tell you.

I should know that it's over.

All right, that's it. It's all over.

It's a long time since I've been cuddled to sleep.

It'd be nice to wake up to a beautiful face.

But yours I'll have to do.

Dad?

Ronnie!

It's all over.

The scumbag they arrested won't talk.

He's going to take the rap.

The police won't admit it, but we've got the brakes on.

Sorry, Ronnie.

Looks like they'll go away with it.

It's all there.

Hope you agreed.

Don't you stand that all at once.

Put this on.

You see the cat?

Come see a pint?

I want to know what's going on.

That woman, the old Melp.

What about her?

Look, I know that you and Mum can't.

I've... I'm not a kid.

It's a bit close to home, though, isn't it?

Right under her nose. I mean, what if she finds out? Imagine how she'd feel.

It can't go on, Dad.

It's got to stop.

I love her.

I love her, Nick, and your mum isn't going to get any better.

I want to be with Trish. I want to start again.

You can't.

What about my mum?

She'd be well looked after.

We've seen this smashing little place. There's high lanes.

It's just on the edge of the park.

There's no other way.

Look, look, look.

I've been putting money aside and there's enough there now for...

For at least three years.

Three years?

Where have you got that kind of money from? Rich, is she this slug?

No.

No.

It's the robbery, isn't it?

Oh, Jesus Christ.

You bastard!

You bastard!

Nick.

Wait, son.

Let me explain, son.

Not here. There and back, see how far it is. Look, I need to talk to him. Don't

you be ashamed of yourself.

Look, when he comes to you, when he's telling you... You're a disgrace, you

that. Just make sure you tell him, OK?

Nick! Nick!

Nick!

I want a word.

Don't go and nick with you like you're not okay.

I'm going to kill your mother tonight.

For God's sake, say something.

It's from death.

You want me to be?

Sorry, Winston.

We don't need a shot.

Roger, it's Nick. I'm coming in.

Now don't make a thing. Get out.

Get out now. Get away from her!

All right, all right, I'm going.

Jess, we didn't mean to hurt you. Out!

Get out!

Thank you.

I have you then. Told her what a bastard I am. She deserved the truth.

Yeah, couldn't I, could you? Couldn't let me do it my way.

And that's what she deserved.

I'm sorry, Bethel.

We don't want your apologies.

That's your wife.

This is your home. This is me mum's home. Despite what you and that tart

plan, she's staying here.

If you go, then you go with nothing. You leave the lot, you leave the house, the

car, the money.

All the money.

All I need to do is pick up the phone, 999, and that's you finished.

So whatever you got from the robbery, you give to me mum.

One call, Dad. That's all it'll take.

No, Nick.

I want a little bit.

I want to start again.

One call, Dad!

Ring them.

Go on, ring. Ring them.

One more. Go on.

What were you waiting for?

I wipe her arse when she goes to the toilet.

I blow her nose when she's got a cold.

I change your mother's tan packs when she's on her period.

And I wake her up and I put her to bed.

I wash her and I dry her.

I cook and I clean.

And I can't take it anymore, Nick.

I can't do it, son.

I've done me best.

I've done me best.

You want to ring them, you ring them.

That's the last one.

Thanks.

Will you give me a ring if you need anything?
