All language subtitles for Clocking Off s02e07 Trudy Mack and Martins Story

Thank you.

Broke his nose, broke his wrist.

My God.

He's home from the hospital, but I ended
up getting a train to Halifax,

reloading stock with the police, driving
it back here myself.

Then I was in here after the night with
nobody to talk to but bloody Barry.

Well, you should have phoned. I'd have
brought you a picnic.

I'm just doing drinks if you want them,
Matt.

And I'll bring yours through.

What's going on?

Three wagons down.

One in a traffic accident, one in for
servicing, and one with a cracked axle,

which is... Your fault.

Transport manager, you're meant to
manage the transport.

If we're losing money because we can't
deliver, it means the system's broken

down. And you're the system man, and I'm
asking how the hell it's going to this

state. How the hell's it my fault if we
got a cracked axle?

Because according to the garage, that
wagon missed two service checks.

Two by them doesn't mean it wasn't
checked.

Or you missed a weak axle.

Well, what does a weak axle look like,
Mac?

You count the claims on the insurance
for that.

Yeah, which has been knocked back
because the service record's not up to

Not as far as the insurance are
concerned.

From the end of this month, they don't
want to cover us anymore.

Well, they're bound to hike up the
premium if you have that many claims.

You'd think that, wouldn't you?

They don't want the business.

Not at all. Three more weeks, we're not
insured. You get on the phone and sort

it out.

And don't sit round there finishing your
coffee.

Round there where?

The office.

Trudy's office?

You got a problem with me drinking
coffee in Trudy's office, Mac?

Apparently,

yeah, but I'm hoping he'll see past me
faults.

Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but
this is really good for me.

Hiya, Janice. She not home yet?

Any time now.

She's gone for a swim. And she's, truth
be speak, for a nervous breakdown.

If he talks to me like that again, I'm
going to smack him one. Who does he

he is?

He's only just found out about us. He's
always been a bit protective.

Trude, can I borrow that jigsaw top?

If you're wearing it already, you'll
have to pay for it. Well, we're only

for a quick drink. I'm only going to
dribble on it, am I? You're going

Do you look better without it?

Hey, I used to work with a bloke who
always did that. Don't you reckon my

looks great in them?

Or don't you reckon her arse looks great
in that?

You never know what to say, do you?

If you change your mind, we've gone down
the road from the crown.

See you later.

Split transport off as a separate
company.

Insurance would smell it a mile off.

What if it was a separate company run by
you?

What? And instead of just transport
manager, you owned the rigs.

Do you know I'm a rig cop?

I do now.

Not on your own.

You and me.

I don't have that kind of money.

And Jesus, I never will have.

New companies don't use their own money.

They borrow it.

Against what?

Property.

If you moved in here, you could use the
money from your flat.

They were two separate thoughts
originally.

Look, Martin, I think we're getting on
really well, and I don't know how long

you're supposed to leave it before you
make a move.

I'm making a move.

Mac. Oh.

What's up?

Oh.

Waiter, can we have another place
sitting here? I said we. Yeah, I thought

meant we.

Hiya. Hiya.

Oh.

Thank you.

Where would all your money come from?
The bank has given us the nod

provisionally for most of it. And if
it's clean cut, then we get tax breaks

new company.

What's in it for me?

On -site haulage, and you don't pay any
of the overheads.

One being completely looked after. What
a relief.

My transport manager does such a crap
job, the insurance company shuts the

policy down, then bounces to the rescue
by snatching the fleet.

It's my lucky day, or what?

You're actually talking about going into
business together, you and him. Why

not?

Neither of us wants to leave the job
we're doing now.

Oh, that's good of you.

No, the bank wouldn't fund you outright.
You've no track record. No, we'd have

to use capital.

Yours or his? Same each.

Where's Romeo getting his from?

You're mad. You should have hung on to
this place.

I always feel the flight got nothing to
invest.

Trudy's rolling, isn't it?

How do you work that out? Come on, dad.

Let her spend the money.

If you knew double what you know, you'd
still know shit, Kev. Oh, here we go.

Richard Branson. Six months, you'll be
on pot noodles begging me and Bounce at

the top of it.

What's in it?

Soup! Eddie, come here, mate.

How's it going?

Big, hot, busy.

Is Martin in?

I thought you were in Sheffield.

Where's old Stuart?

Erm... A few convocations, but look,
he's here. Where the hell are you?

Here!

Bloody hell.

Hello?

Not sure.

Hiya!

Look who we found.

Hello.

You could say I'm here to help. Most I'm
up to is a kettle.

Kettle's on anyway. Come in.

Hi, Eddie.

God, the size of you.

The size of both of you.

On your own?

Stuart was due parole last Friday.

Wednesday, he gets into a fight with
another prisoner.

Parole cancelled.

He has to wait for the next board.

Six weeks.

Oh, God, I'm sorry.

That was nobody's fault.

Well, it is. Of course it is.

They start talking to the wall.

So, are you back in your own house?

Yeah, got back on Thursday.

Eddie was missing the family.

I could do with him around if...

Well, the baby's not turned yet.

Panicking a bit.

But you were marthing.

Yeah, I know. People have only just
twigged, which is a miracle.

Weird for you, me sweeping up your
capped off.

I would deserve somebody more like you
than me.

I could take that the wrong way.

Hey, you always talk to me, sleep, don't
you?

Which would be interesting if you knew
any dirty words, but you're blank.

You're boring as shit, really.

You two should write a book.

How does that look?

Different than your house.

I haven't rushed you into this, have I?

Or the business.

I'm unruppable.

Ask anybody.

Give me a week and I'll have myself
believing it was my idea.

That was a bit weird.

So?

Not a problem for anybody.

No.

Furniture's in there.

Yeah, we've just about managed without
your help, thanks.

And are you still OK about all this?

Why shouldn't he be?

Well, moving in with a woman for the
first time, he should be scared to death

his age. Cos I'm stuck here till I know
what I'm doing. And we're not the

Brontes, I'll tell you.

It needs a bottle of wine, does this.

Are you coming down or shall I bring you
up?

Back in your cages, you peasants.

What, what?

Secret bus from Post Gabriel to half an
hour level.

Where's he off?

Ah, well, mind you knows, I haven't got
a clue. If you knew half what I know,

you'd be dangerous. In your dreams, you
go on the ski.

Get back quiet, didn't I?

I'm not sure you'd notice.

Why, when did you know about it?

Kept out for a while, a couple of months
back.

Sold the property or borrowed against
him?

Right. You have a sign at the bottom
there, my friend?

So you're going to try running this
business from the streets?

Oh, no, no, I've... No, we've moved in
together.

Oh, I see.

Partners in every sense.

Martin, I give you this ring as a token
of my love and our marriage.

A symbol of all that we have promised
and all that we now share.

A symbol of all that we have promised
and all that we now share.

It's my privilege to say that you are
now husband and wife.

Yeah. Well, no, I make that 748 for the
gingham.

Yeah. And then the daisy prick came out
on Tuesday.

You're wishing we told people now.

Oh.

I bet you never thought you'd have
honeymoon like this.

I never thought I'd have one at all.

Why's that?

I hate weddings. I can't stand being
looked at.

Yeah, I'm like that.

Did it feel businessy?

That was the point.

You want to tell people now, don't you?

No.

No, I'm rock solid with secrets, me.

This is for the transfer of vehicles,
and this is the contract to supply

Macintosh Limited on a non -exclusive
basis, 12 -month renewable, with the

option in Macintosh's favor.

Here we are.

Okay.

I thought you had discussed this.

It wasn't me discussing it.

They screw up.

I need an option to contract elsewhere.

Well, I must say, as adventures go,
nobody's reaching for the moon.

Trudy doesn't even move chairs. Martin
and Bubba in a boss cap in the car park,

so... Anyway.

Right.

A cheque in full payment for rolling
stock.

Big one.

I suppose this is one cheque I don't
hand to you for banking.

It's OK, Bill. It's all about... OK, you
can relax. There's no bad news.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

We couldn't say anything until the
paperwork went through, but, um, as of

unless you don't want it, you work for
me.

And Trudy.

Graham Leach.

Graham Leach.

It's a new company handling just the
freight.

No change in work and practice.

Same rates of pay.

Same everything. Apart from the name on
the wages checks.

You thought you were getting dumped?

No, we've just thrown straws. He was
going to burn your house down. I was

to cut your brake pipes.

How's he coming back? We're going to
crack open a bottle of champagne?

Yeah, great.

We should do that together, really.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I've loads to get done.

Anyway, congratulations.

Have a nice night. See you Monday.

You too, Matt.

Thanks, Peter.

Do you think you'll give me a lift back
to the office?

No, you're taking me home.

And you're going to get me pissed.

Well, as dates go, you're pretty
consistent with my last three.

Except hopefully you're paying.

Have you and Mark ever slept together?

You need an answer to that.

Graham Leach.

Trudy Graham. Martin Leach.

Point to your name.

Yeah, yeah, like that.

Now, get closer. Get out of the way, you
dick. Don't try to take a photo.

Smile.

Sorry.

Do you want to move the lights?

All right.

Hang on.

Come on.

All right, yeah. All right. Say cop.

Cop!

I'm jealous now.

How much are your shares worth, mate?

Offering my bed, you get 50%. 215A,
215B,

379A indeed. Just a sec, Margaret.

Graham Leach Partnership.

I'll just transfer you.

Hello? First proper phone call.

Who is it?

Forgot to ask. Ring me back when they've
gone.

Martin Leach, hello.

You've not been around long, have you?
No, we're a newish company.

Ten years' experience, Tom.

Don't worry about that, Margaret.

Mainly UK.

Some Northern Europe.

South Coast?

What are you looking at?

Regular Fridays.

Yeah, yeah, we've got a Friday club.

Dorset. Dorset's fine, yeah?

Can you fax me a rough outline of
volume?

All right. Give us your fax number,
then.

Yeah, I'll just get it for you.

Um, listen, Margaret, will you just give
me two secs?

You're looking for the fax number,
aren't you? Where is it? War behind you.

0161 496 4000.

OK, just five minutes.

OK, as soon as I get that, I'll get
straight back to you.

Cheers.

What money can you draw for that?

Well, it's not a massive contract, but
they've just signed a distribution deal

with ICI, and this guy reckons they'll
be well up for reliable subcontractors.

So no promises, but you never know.

Well done.

He looks about 12 years old when he
smells like that.

Nice. Well done, Trudy.

She only answered the phone. You pin the
price down.

Remember, Janice has never paid tax in
her life. To her, doing the books is

filing receipts for stuff she's bought
in Kendall's.

Only thin people in this section, madam.

Hiya. Hiya.

I lost a load of socks and undies in the
move, so I spent the last few days

wearing none.

Could get used to it.

How's Eddie?

Better. Now he's back in his own school.

So you think Sheffield was wasted, then?

Every time me and Eddie did a prison
visit, fear was all over us.

Determined to get out and put things
right.

But I think that's all it amounted to.

Talking about it.

Mum?

Why, where are you?

Two minutes.

No. Two minutes, honestly.

She's on double yellows.

Listen, I'll give Eddie a ring later,
see if he wants to come and match on

Saturday. Oh, yeah, that'd be brilliant.

See you.

See you.

Marks and spenders. All done. Three
wagons. One today, two tomorrow.

Calibrand. Went out this morning.

Harriet's of Glasgow.

Next Monday.

No, no, they've asked to move it up.
I've said Friday.

That's three wagons.

Problem for you?

No.

Good.

in our audible? Not unless he's been on
my computer.

Well, did you take the call from
Hewitt's? Of course not. I didn't want

I think he's shafted us.

Oh, come on. He wouldn't. He's not that
bad.

He bloody would.

He has.

How come you normally deal with Hewitt's
and now he's taking the calls?

Get on to him and see who suggests it
Friday.

What are we going to do about that new
contract?

I don't know.

It's new business. I've promised now.

Graham Leach Partnership.

Hang on, I'll check.

No, we're based at Trencherfield.

Different company, same premises.

We're just making space temporarily.

13th looks fine. Can I transfer you to
Mr Leach?

I was going to make us some coffee, but
there isn't a socket for it.

Have we got an adapter?

What was it you wanted again?

Four more sockets on that wall. But, um,
Brian, can you give us ten minutes?

Yeah, sure.

This isn't going to work if you behave
like a child.

What, me?

You told Hewitt that it'd have to be
Friday because next week was jam

That's just stupid.

Martin's got enough on his plate without
you playing games.

It's not a game.

It's going to crop up sooner or later.

Two jobs, one slot.

So you thought that you'd put him in
training for his benefit?

He's working for you for free, you
miserable sod.

You don't make a brilliant pair, you
know.

That's none of your business.

A 30 -year -old bachelor who's basically
never committed a single self -driven

decision in his life.

So what's in it for you?

The only reason this came about is
because it was good for all of us. You

wouldn't have any deliveries if Martin
hadn't got round your insurance

Yeah, only because he was told to.

By you.

Do you know what?

Bugger off.

I can run my business from home. You'd
better get a temp in to answer that.

Trudy.

Hello. If you'd like to leave your name
and number, we'll get back to you as

soon as possible.

Thank you.

Graham Leach Partnership.

Can I ask how you heard about her?

Well,

if you give me your name and address,
I'll send you one of our brochures.

Yeah?

Mm -hmm.

Not sideways, lensways. Otherwise,
people won't be able to get out.

You look nice. Thank you.

What's she drinking?

Am I carving?

No, not yet.

You've got to stand for ten minutes. Get
the plate, the meat plate. I'm going to

put the potatoes around when they're
done. Have you done the gravy?

You didn't say gravy.

I said save the gravy.

Tell me you did.

You're too fair to me.

Sorry, we overslept.

All right, I did.

Janice, does this make my tits look
wonky? Where's the stop for the graver?

the Pyrex jug.

Pyrex jug's in sync with the washing up.

Hiya, Martin. We're not late, are we?
You're joking.

It's her fault.

It's her?

I filled it up last time. Oh, he didn't.
He only brought about ten of us in.

Brilliant, thanks.

All right, cheers.

I don't know how. I've got about ten
minutes to shove some milk upon.

Are you all right for a drink there,
Sue?

No, I'm not.

True, Sue hasn't got a drink.

I know. Cheers for that. I was counting
VAT back

for about a few years before I realised
I had to earn enough.

They make me pay it all back, they do.

I will mean it to say, do you fancy...
Of course I can, yeah, bring me.

Hey, there's no dip, James. You're
sitting in Guild, you know.

Can I just say something?

Um, we're here to wish Martin and Trudy
success with the new business.

Um, they've both been fantastic to all
of us in different ways.

Um, by rights, we should be cupping for
them.

Um, Trudy and Martin.

Cheers. Cheers.

Cheers to, um, I'm not good at speeches,
so I'm not going to even try, but,

uh... Me and Trudy also have an
announcement, and it's a big one.

It's all down to your chairs.

The gravy's granules, and it's Janice's
fault.

Martin!

Typical. Why did you have to do that?
You think that?

Yeah, I did.

Who fancies a bouncy castle?

Me! Right, call us on outside.

Oh,

for God's

sake, Kev. What is this? Get a mouse on
it!

Hey, you don't, I will.

You're mental.

Eddie!

Hey, I think I've paid maintenance to
her.

Just about your level, that Kev. No
brain, can't talk, mouth open, legs

Hello, and it can cut hair.

Shut up, you.

He's never going to change.

In fact, he gets worse.

First set of foster parents we had
dumped us because he couldn't keep his

shut.

They were in Glossop. I thought they
were all right, but him and Stuart

stick them.

They deliberately got caught shoplifting
in Woolies so we'd get a case review.

Kev. Kev. Ten Turkish Delights.

Jammed double album.

Yeah, which I got the blame for.

Kev never talks to me about stuff like
that.

There's nothing to tell, Babs. I bet
everyone says to you, hey, Martin,

going to love having kids, don't they?

There's never been a major discussion,
no.

I bet they do.

And I bet they'd be wrong.

Because everyone I've ever thought that
about, they'd turn out crap with kids.

I don't know why.

What are you saying, Barry?

Well, steer clear about your parenting.

Let's borrow kids from time to time.

Or mine.

Because if there's one thing this world
is short of, it's babysitters.

But aren't you asking for trouble,
bringing two up on your own?

You don't always have a say, Janice.

Oh, come on, we're not dark -aged.

Well, I never only wanted just one
child, anyway.

Why not?

Because.

OK.

Truth or dare?

You wouldn't be your age and pregnant
with a fellow where yours is not if you

had the choice.

Truth or dare, you wouldn't have dumped
an accountant for a security guard.

I wasn't being personal.

Yeah, you were.

OK, but only cos I've had a few.

I wasn't honest.

You got any more beer, that kid?

In the kitchen. I can't be bothered to
move.

Does anyone else want one?

Me!

I think I'd better have some water.
Cheers, Kev.

Why am I the only one shifting?

Cos you're gorgeous.

Yeah, right.

You are?

I did think twice about it.

I went to the doctors and he was like,
yeah, totally understand if you want

termination.

Then I got a consultant.

And the minute he said yeah, I was like,
hang on a minute, Sue.

Who are you doing this for?

I can imagine.

Next thing you knew, I was on my way
home.

Would I be right in thinking that Mark
April got it there or not?

I can't actually answer that right now.

I've said I'm sorry.

Have you?

So the only message is your machine
doesn't pick up a mine.

It's been trained not to.

Shift back upstairs and buy a cappuccino
machine.

I don't like coffee.

How about a foot spa from under your
desk?

Everything.

All right, Frida?

Yeah.

Oh, are you Trudy?

Frida.

I'll leave you to it, then.

I'll phone you about a finger soon.

OK, thanks, Frida.

See you at work, then, Trudy. Ta -ra.

You know, she uses fabric from work.

Oh, yeah.

But only from wastage.

Don't you mind?

Course we mind. That's why I've been
deducting £15 a week from her wages.

She's yet to notice, so she must be
doing well.

Good luck to her.

And if it doesn't turn in the next week,
that's how I might end up with a

caesarean.

Which isn't the end of the world, I
know, but if I'm still on my own, it's

more hassle.

If that was Stuart's baby, there's no
way you'd consider aborting.

What are you talking about?

Look at me.

The minute you mentioned abortion, I
knew it.

A lot of people think about aborting,
Trudy. You're not everybody.

Stuart's not everybody.

You've had to fight for him.

Does Martin know it's his?

Four weeks further on than I thought.

You came back for Martin.

I knew nothing about you two.

If I'd have made it back for Ken's
wedding or... I might have known, but I

didn't.

So I just thought...

Stuart screwed his parole up twice.

I don't think he can face coming home.

And three weeks to go, I panicked.

I've said nothing to anybody else,
Trudy.

I've just made a fool of myself. It can
stay like that.

You two are dead right for each other.

You are. I've watched you.

I'm not going to open my mouth now,
Trudy.

You can trust me.

That's not good enough, though, is it?

Please, don't tell him.

He doesn't need to know.

I worked it out.

Martin's a long way off stupid.

Trude? Your phone's off.

Battery's down.

Oh, you're hungry.

Sue wants to see you.

What? She wants to talk to you.

What about?

Tonight, if possible.

All right.

If it was something she could have said
on the phone, she'd have rung you. Why

don't you knit round?

It's about sure.

Go and see her.

Mac, our Janice has gone to see a film
and I didn't know who else to ring.

At home, I was wondering if you could
come over.

Aya, Judy said you needed me.

The timing is... Are you certain it's
mine?

You've moved on, Martin.

You've moved in with Trudy.

How come I'm the last to know?

Nobody knows.

Trudy. And I didn't tell her. She
guessed.

Why are you telling me?

You're the last person I want to hear
it.

I need good advice, Matt. Where else am
I supposed to get it?

You're talking like you've lost
everything.

I've just sunk all I've got into a bloke
who's got everything he wants somewhere

else. You don't know that.

He won't walk away from a child.

You didn't need to tell him.

You don't know him. You wouldn't lie to
him.

You and truth.

You can't avoid it, can you?

And Sue was obviously capable of keeping
all this to herself.

I'm sorry you've ended up in all this
shit, but did you have to ask the

questions? Yes.

Well, no. I could have just carried on
thinking it, lying awake for the next

years, waiting for Martin to find out,
then losing more.

We're not all like you, Mac.

What I'm like suits me.

Fine. I can't live like that.

Would it have lasted ten years?

You just don't like him. Honest
question.

I don't know.

Yes.

So I'm curious, that's all.

I mean, you never jumped into anything
in your life.

A woman here to date, next into
business.

I mean, what was the rush?

You're the only one who thought it was a
rush.

I'm the only one qualified to come in.

You think I did all this to give you a
good hiding?

A bit of me does, yeah.

You're wrong.

You're not jealous.

You're just pretending to be jealous
because you want what someone else has

I may be.

But I'm only being excluded because I
want to.

So it's not everything.

You won't have lost everything.

Martin. What are you doing here?

I was invited.

I can't believe you did that.

I'd better go.

How much you told him?

Look, I've come as a friend.

Suddenly?

Scotch is communal.

I needed someone to talk to.

Mess, isn't it?

I'd feel better if it was someone's
fault.

How do you want to handle all this?

Money, business, stuff?

I don't know.

We'll need some advice.

You've put the most money in, so...
That's it.

You can do that for me, can you?

Make all my decisions for me.

Pack my bags and just get somebody to go
over the paperwork.

Well, what do you want me to say?

Do you love me or not?

Martin, don't make this worse for me.
What the bloody hell do you think

married was all about, eh?

A bit of business security, a bit of tax
relief.

Well, you obviously didn't want it
talking about.

Says who?

Well, who have you told?

You asked me not to. I said... You asked
me not to!

Who the hell do you think I am, for
Christ's sake?

Do you think I'd marry you for tact?

You went through with it thinking that.

You should be bloody ashamed of
yourself.

I married you because I thought I'd
found somebody who wanted to spend the

of her life with me, not somebody who'd
hit the deck for a sign of a problem.

Yeah, but it's not just a problem.

She's pregnant and it's yours.

Yeah.

And the only reason I found out is
because she wishes it was somebody

But I know you.

You won't leave her to struggle on her
own.

I've no intention of leaving her
struggling.

But I'm not going to throw all this away
because she decided to lie to our

Stuart. She's waited eight months for
Stuart. That was plan B. Again!

I'm not going to go sliding in there
playing babysitter for Stuart or Sue or

or anybody else.

Because that's every year of my life
since I was ten years old.

Making sure every other fucker is okay.
Let Martin do it. Let Martin sort it

out. Look at me.

I'm 30.

I've waited a long time for this, Trudy.

I married you because I love you.

It's the only reason I could have
married you.

Martin. She's seen the last of our
Stuart and she knows it.

So it's going to take money to help her
out, which you're bound to resent. But

we will make money.

We will make the firm work, despite what
Mack and I think. No, because of what

Mack and I think, I'm bloody determined.

And nobody, nobody gets to know about
the baby, promise me.

For Sue's sake. Not our Kev. Not your
Janice. I promise.

Martin.

I'm really, really sorry.

You won't be.

You're not supposed to see each other.
It's bad luck.

First blowjob you get, you clamp your
teeth and bite it off.

It's a fact, that.
