I think

you

should just be original and not follow
everything because you never know

it's going to be in or out.

Hold me hand.

Carol, will you tell her thanks a lot? I
should have left about 15 minutes ago.

Who? Our Lindsay.

She's not here.

Well, what time did she go?

The last time I saw your daughter was
last February. She owed me 20 quid. I

to go to her and she stomped off.

I don't know anyone else around here.

That's right. Maybe that's how she
borrows money.

Come on.

Stop asking questions.

You've got your mobile on you. There's
only no booze on this boat.

Why don't you get one of your own?
Because I can't afford it and I don't

brain damage. Well, you won't want mine
then.

And leave for...

Has she?

Yeah.

What the hell are you doing still at
home?

We're waiting to go, Frida.

Our Lindsay hasn't come home.

Well, where is she?

I don't know.

I'll kill her, Julie. She's not going to
do this to me twice.

You'll have to go without me.

What are you doing?

Why haven't you gone?

Has she shown up?

Sort yourself out. I'll be a minute.

They're both in my bed.

What are you going to do?

I'll have to sleep down here.

No, I mean, something might have
happened to her.

It's time I had the cleats out.

I took a family photo to stick it in the
paper.

She turned up on the Tuesday reckoning
she'd been in a car accident in Cheetah

Mill.

I said, what was she doing in Cheetah
Mill if she's meant to be working at the

Irish club?

She just went ballistic, giving me a
mouthful about not trusting her.

I'm in a fling when she turned up here.
By weekend, she was back at the club

like it never happened.

Bloody hell!

She's left nothing behind, no food, no
money. They've not even got pyjamas.

Dumps two kids, her own kids, without
even... Where's the husband?

He's in the water.

Chips and curry twice and chips and
gravy, please.

Is that all I'm going to get? Yes,
please.

Need forks? No, thanks.

Chips and curry dressed like that.

And no forks.

You're the one that goes to bed smelling
a fish. What's he laughing for?

Wide awake now, aren't you?

You sure it's not dangerous?

No, I've done it once.

You were babies.

It won't for long, though.

Oh.

I've been taking them.

Well, they're not with her now, are
they?

Go and get your pyjamas and some games.

Tell her she'll need to get a signal in.
She's got an appointment later.

She hasn't been to the doctors yet, but
she knows it's tonsillitis.

Yeah.

No.

Yeah, she's had it before.

And she can phone you, but not me.

Tony. Well, look who it isn't.

Can I talk to you?

I'm going to have to finish this or I'm
going to get pasted.

Ready, you're banging my way. Go to the
bar.

So where do I come into it?

They're your kids.

It's debatable.

Not that you'd recognise them.

She wouldn't give me access.

Because you never paid her. Because she
never gave me access.

Not drunk at two in the morning, no.

Or whatever.

Well, I can't have him.

Crashed at a mate's flat.

It's a bit grown up for kids around
there.

I've got a job. I can't look after him.

Anyway, his landlord's kicking him out,
so I don't know how long I'm there for.

Tony!

Come on, Tony, you're on.

I'm going to need money to sort a
childminder out. Ring benefits.

They'll be entitled to all sorts at your
age.

If I ring benefits, they'll get social
services involved.

Problem solved.

And if that happens, they'll come after
you for thousands.

I'll make sure they do. Like I said, I
never know where I'm living.

Only took me an hour or so to find you.

You're getting on me tits now, Freda.

They say I look like the bride's mother
if you want to see the future.

And you wonder how I liked it.

What to me like that?

Creep. If you didn't want kids, you
should never have had him.

You make me sick.

Where's she off? I thought we were
playing cards.

Not in the mood, obviously.

Yeah, but she's got the cards.

Julie!

Reckon I was fit?

Steve.

No, I just... I'm only testing what...
This is from the waste kit, so I haven't

used any... Company materials, company
power.

What's it meant to be?

Jar was in a nightie.

Freedia's grandkids are... Go get and
see her.

And I swear to God, I've done them in my
lunch break.

I can sell.

Your throat looks really bad from here,
Freda.

It's all a bit of a mess, to be honest,
Matt.

I'll be back in as soon as I can.

Come here.

You all right?

Yeah, we're fine, thanks, mate.

You haven't got a spare, have you?

In the boot.

Actually, if you wouldn't mind helping
her get the spare out of the boot, we

should be sorted. Thanks very much, pal.

No trouble.

Great cars, these are they, eh?

I've owned myself, kept it for years,
never let me down.

Cost nothing to fix.

There's not many who can say that about
Arla.

They've got air in it.

Looks okay, yeah?

I mean, how do you know your daughter's
not in a ditch somewhere?

She isn't.

What, have you talked to the police?

She isn't. Well, Frida, unless you go to
the authorities... They'll whip the

kids into care and I can't live with
that, Mac.

Don't you look at me like that. We can't
all live like you do.

I'll walk them home.

Frida, don't be daft.

Can you do it?

Half nine's the earliest I could get in.

Till I can sort them out to school and
have to pop off by half two.

Right, if you get someone in part -time
to bookend you.

Is that message you're about?

Well, yeah.

Right, make sure you get your spare tyre
fixed.

And change your locks, as Dan will be
swimming in your bag with your address

Come here.

It's under a pound sub.

I'll deduct it from your wages when
you're back full -time.

I'll take it.

See you tomorrow?

Day after?

Can you give us two days?

Yeah, OK.

See you.

You don't really have a choice.

We don't have to go out in them.

Cheers.

Do you mind if we just wear the bottoms?

And no talking. I could hear you till
gone 11 last night.

She says we're getting bunk beds.

I told you not to tell her.

Don't know if we are yet.

Straight to sleep.

Solid pine bunk beds.

Immaculate condition.

Quality IKEA mattresses.

£150 ,000.

Go on.

Beach effect bunk beds.

Will collapse with two singles.

Need new mattresses.

Beach effect?

That's like nearly plastic.

Here we go.

Pine bunk beds. Quality sprung
mattresses.

£325 or £10 .85 a week.

What's the delivery?

Three weeks? I can't sleep on that sofa
three more nights. Never mind three

weeks.

I'll lend you the money if you want the
ones in loot.

No.

Have a look at me handbag.

You what?

There's an Abbey National book.

Have a look how much I've saved.

I don't want to know.

Just look.

Where's all this from?

Wages.

Since when?

I haven't got a life, Frida.

My mum only takes 25 a week off me.

I know what kind of life I'd have with
this much.

What's £675?

June the 18th.

I booked holiday.

Right. Lanzarote.

Right. Who with?

On my own.

Right.

I'm not showing off.

Just borrow what you think you can pay
back.

I'm not in a hurry.

Can we get anything?

Headboard.

Is there any petrol money in this?

No, Kev.

Swear word?

Favour? I'm shifting the gears to
favour. Who's covering the petrol? You

Shut up.

Oh, good lad. Cheers.

Cheers.

What do they call you?

Gerard. Did you pass us that Alan key,
Gary?

Thanks. Which one's going to be yours,
Gary?

Top one.

Good lad. Never let girls sleep on top.
They get too bossy.

Take no notice.

The bird he's married's got him wrapped
around her little finger. Yeah, sure.

She has? Yeah, sure.

He drives a clapped -out old van and she
drives an S -ridge micro. What does

that tell you, Gary? A clapped -out
van's better than a soft -top golf.

Soft -top GTI.

Classic motor.

Gay.

Stylish. Closy.

Shoot me right.

I'm gonna like the way you fight.

I love the way you fight. Now you bow
the seat, quote I use, to wash away my

lonely blues.

So I can't deny a lie, cause you're the
only one who made me fly. You know

what you are? You are. Sex bomb, sex
bomb.

You're a sex bomb. You can give it to me
when I need to come along.

Don't pull him, just take the weight.

I'm taking the weight.

Keep going.

Wait.

Ready?

What do you think?

Brilliant. Talk.

OK. Test drive.

Yay!

Alan, stop.

Any talking tonight, I'm going to take
them apart and send them back.

Yeah, sure.

I will.

Now say thanks to Julie for giving me a
hand.

Thanks, Julie.

Bigger than that.

Thanks, Julie.

I could have just opened the window.

Oh, yeah.

Like hot air goes sideways.

It doesn't. It goes upwards.

And what's upwards?

Kids.

Anyway, you should have packed in at
your age.

You smoke.

Half what you do, and I'm a lot younger.

Sod off. I could go under a bus
tomorrow.

If you did, nobody would want your
lungs.

I'm not offering.

Did you see much of the kids before?

Not as much as I wanted to.

She'd arrange to come for tea and then
forget.

I know she's your daughter, but I want
to punch her lights out.

Morning.

Morning.

What is it?

Dinosaur. Why have they made them look
like dinosaurs if they made a chicken?

Chicken?

Don't you like chicken?

I don't know.

But you like dinosaurs?

Yeah. That's what we're having then.

Dinosaurs. If you can find a pan, you
can open the beans.

They look all right cut, don't they?

Yeah, sure.

Hey!

Is that what you do for a living?

Coal -fired machinist, yeah.

Oh,

right. Until he's 16.

They look sharp, aren't they? I know,
I'm dead chuffed with them.

Mind if I use the same fabric, then?

Give over.

Compliment, if anything.

Rita!

How much of it did you eat? Of the
dinosaur?

Just the head.

Oh, Jesus.

What are you doing?

Do not cook from frozen. Do not cook
from frozen.

This morning?

I watched you get out the bloody freezer
box.

I could have poisoned them, you could
have said.

The freezer box doesn't work, it hasn't
been, we bought it.

Fine. Come on.

Why didn't you come in? I'm barred. What
for?

I'm not barred. I'm just not welcome.

The woman opposite wanted to know how
much I'd paid for them curtains.

I told her they cost me £45 to make. She
wants a pair, do we? Well, you can't.

I said, yeah, why not?

I need the fabric from work.

So?

If we're caught, we're dead.

Ideally, she wants the same fabric.

Ideally, she'll get what she's bleeding
given.

Yeah.

Yeah.

What's this?

Stick it in your bag.

Sod off! Put it in yours!

I can't. It's full of bobbings of
cotton.

Not full ones. They're half -used.

Don't be soft. They won't be missed.

It's not a girl's pink, no, but you know
what I find?

They don't want anything that looks too
young, cos they grow up like that and

you've spent 40 -odd quid for nothing.

Oh, yeah, I don't know, really. I found
a really sharp pink and I loved it to

death, but our Charlotte said, Nana,
it's a bit babyish. I thought she said

babyish.

I was gutted, obviously, cos I had my
heart set on it.

It's a more mature pink, this.

If you come anywhere near me with that
stuff, my powers completely vaporise, he

said. He said?

What, she was the one with the magical
powers?

If you come anywhere near me with that
stuff, my powers completely vaporise.

He said, looking at Fliss, his face
rubbery with fear.

Don't leave me on my own, will you?

She just smiled.

You'll never be alone if you trust the
mirror.

Colin turned to the curly gilt mirror to
see what Fliss meant.

Instead of freckles and fear, he saw
bravery.

Instead of William, he saw a warrior.

He turned back to Fliss and smiled.

But she'd gone.

Like that.

Forever?

No.

This was just the beginning of their
secret.

Marshall, that is not what we're here
for.

Joking, aren't you? How was that? How
was that? Close call, but she was out.

Come on, Charlotte.

Close call, but she touched base first.
Where were you looking?

Come on, Charlotte.

You were robbed. Come on, Cocker.

Never mind.

Sister? No.

Brothers? Brother, Frank.

He works in Hong Kong.

Have you ever been?

I've been invited.

It's a long way to go.

Hi, Donna.

Hello.

How's it going?

Great at first, but this machine keeps
nagging.

Did you win?

No, but they should have.

I tell you what, if she'd got some
proper coaching, and I'm not talking PE

teacher with more make -up than sense,
she could be stunning. She plays like I

used to.

We've decided we're having bangers and
mash for you then.

You into that?

Onion gravy?

I can have a go, yeah?

Twist.

Sticking. Twist.

Bust. Twist.

Twist.

Oh. Oh. How many times that?

Four times.

Oh, the only times I ever win is when
we're not playing for money.

off there, Brian. Can you manage?

Yep. Give me a shift.

Come on, out of the way.

Out of the way.

Mind the step.

This isn't for Keats, you know.

I know.

It's for standby.

So if Matt finds out it's here, it was
your idea.

Come and see, Brian.

Aye, if it's a busy one.

I'll have a look.

Someone needs to create that cable for
me.

Yeah, good lad.

You two want to go and play up there?

No, I tell you what.

Go and nip to the shop, get yourself an
ice cream.

No, it'll wreck your teeth, go on.

And mind that road.

You've been lumbered with them two now,
have you? Who told you?

You.

Only us.

Hiya.

God, it's like being at work. Hi, Brian.

Hi, Sylvia. Julie. I'm not stopping,
just dropping her off. Right.

Does Matt know you've got this?

No. I need to switch that adapter over.

Be back in a sec. Right.

Woman at the back. The curtains.

A sister called me at school this
morning. Just moved into a new house.

windows. Once a lot doing contrast, tie
-backs, everything.

I can have the job if I can do them by
next weekend.

We won't have time.

Are you kidding?

They're big windows. A lot more than 45
a pair.

Could if you give me hands.

You make curtains?

I do now.

Do you fancy earning a few, Bob Sylvia?

Involving what?

Making out. What we're looking at
here...

Oh, shut your face.

You can talk

and all.

Why don't you just turn it off?

I like it.

No, why can't we have a bit of music?

I've only got two tapes and I'm sick to
death of them.

I've got them in the car.

Brilliant.

I don't want any rap!

God,

I'm glad it's weekend.

Like you can tell.

Kids are at Steve's mum's. He's out on
the booze, which means...

I get breakfast in bed tomorrow.

How do you work that out? Guilt,
usually.

The more he drinks, the bigger the
breakfast.

Is Steve a good cook?

I said cook.

Better than me.

I can do family meals and all that, but
if it's a proper meal, then that's

Steve's territory.

I've never had breakfast cooked for me
by a bloke. Not ever.

Have you asked?

No, I wouldn't.

There you go, then.

Neither have I.

Have you got a husband?

No.

You ever had one?

Of course I've had one. How do you think
I ended up with a daughter?

You didn't need to have been married.

I don't believe in kids out of wedlock.
I'm Catholic.

I think it's a lot of what's wrong with
this country, people churning kids out

without thinking how they're going to
pay for him.

Where's your husband now?

Dead I hope.

This is too much. You're ages and half
of what I owe you. Oh, you could pay me

that any time.

Cheers, it'll buy me a new dress.

Do they look good on?

They look gorgeous.

There was a bit of a flaw on one of the
lengths, I know, because she didn't. But

yeah, they look spot on. And you know
what she said?

She actually admitted she'd been quoted
double for that job. I'm undercharging.

Not when you consider you didn't have to
buy equipment, you're not running an

actual business, and you're not even
paying for fabric.

How come you're not paying for fabric?

You haven't nicked it.

Oh, for God's sake.

It's something from wastage.

I don't care.

My husband's management, I could end up
getting him fired.

I thought you'd sorted it all out for
him, Mac. When it gets chucked away, it

doesn't. It gets sold.

See? Well, I didn't know.

Hiya, Kirsty.

Brought you a few swatches to have a
look at.

Fabric's gone up a bit because I've had
to change the plier.

Ten minutes, wait here.

Hey!

Dad!

You're not talking to me.

Right, get your kit together. I've got a
taxi on ticket.

I'm Julie.

Phoebe's just nipped across the road.
Stuffed up in a bag, all right?

School stuff, whatever.

Here you are.

Leave it in there.

Have you got a feeder in there?

Yeah.

But look over there, taking the kids.
The dad.

Oh, God.

Is this yours?

Yeah.

Is this yours?

Yeah.

This? Yeah.

What are you doing?

What's it look like? You can't.

It's what you wanted. I don't know when.

Lindsay's coming back tonight.

Is she?

She might be. No, I don't know.

Tony, don't. Look at her. She's scared.
She doesn't know you.

Who am I?

Dad.

There you go.

Just come and talk to me.

Come and talk to me, please.

You've got no rights, Frida.

The only blood of yours they're
connected to is pissed off abroad.

We don't know that.

I do.

Grease.

Flew from Manchester on a Tuesday night,
week before last.

And I know who she's gone with. Cos you
were down Victoria Park recruiting

barmaids.

Come downstairs and talk to me. I've got
a taxi I'm waiting for. I'll pay your

taxi.

Five minutes.

Well, you haven't packed, it's left
behind, right?

You told me you'd know where to live.
It's being sorted.

You've no money.

It's being sorted.

They're better off here. I've sorted the
room out. They've got mates and you're

on probation for drugs. You don't know
anyone who isn't.

Four minutes!

Why do you want him?

You've never had anything to do with
him.

All right, what school do they go to?

I want my railings.

Just leave him here, Tony.

Please don't. I don't want any money off
you. I'll support myself in... You're

up in court, aren't you?

You've buggered up your probation and
you're back in court.

If you've got the kids, you think they
won't send you down.

Three minutes!

You'd put them through all that, you
selfish rotten bastard!

Oi! Oh, yeah.

Now!

Come on.

Charlotte!

Down, now!

Or I'm coming up!

Stop it, you're scaring us!

Come on, sweetheart.

It'll only make it worse if you have to
come up. Come on.

I don't like him.

I don't like him.

I swear to God, I'm going to find your
mum.

I'm going to find out where she is and
she'll be straight back and...

come on, because... Hey, listen.

I've got pictures with you sitting on
his knee laughing your head off when you

were little.

I have.

It's only because you haven't seen him
for a bit.

Are you okay, Cliff?

I'm supposed to beat him on it.

We sent a representative from the entry
to Paradise Bar and Castle.

The staff there denied any knowledge of
Mrs Lindsay Townsend.

I'm sorry we can't be of more
assistance.

Best wishes in your difficult past.

But what the hell does that mean?

For Christ's sake, give it up, Frida.

It's 85 degrees.

She's behind a bar with a pick of the
brick getting her fanny tan. Bev, shut

your face.

If she's snide enough to go, she's sharp
enough to get the staff to lie for her.

Bev, come on. Do I care?

No. Am I sick of hearing about it? Back
teeth.

It's all right.

I'm going.

Listen,

why don't you just go home?

I don't want to go home. It's worth it.

I'll come round tonight.

Let's go for a drink.

Kirsty's taking me down the club for a
couple of hours.

Kirsty from over the road.

Come in.

Come in.

I meant in private.

Tell you what, your bag looks a lot more
shaggable than you, huh?

How much you got in there?

£500.

Liar.

Ransom money?

Yeah. For the kids?

Yeah.

I could just grab it and run.

Grab it and run, then.

My dad's a copper.

Right, yeah.

No, he is.

I didn't mean... He doesn't know you.

Not by name, anyway, but... He reckons
you don't stand a chance these days

trying to use kids against a custodial
sentence, cos magistrates don't take any

of that stuff into account.

Not with your track record.

I'm not trying to threaten you, Tony.

It's not going to work.

What do they call you?

Julie. Well, cheers for that, Julie.

Do you want to piss off now?

If you're that sure you don't want to go
back to Priddon, what are you hanging

around here for?

And the 500?

Yours if you go.

Give it here, then.

How do I know you will?

How do you know I won't just come back?

Hiya. Have you heard anything?

No.

Well, yeah, a mate of hers reckons a bun
shifted from Greece to Turkey.

Don't know where the Lindsay went,
though.

Have you seen the kids?

I went round last night.

He didn't want to let me in, but the
kids heard me at the door.

They seemed OK, but...

twice in an hour. I'm bloody sick of it.

It's not fixed. I bloody said it wasn't
fixed.

Anyone seen Brian?

Yeah.

Sort this out before Julie takes your
knees out.

What's up?

That was the school.

Nobody's been to pick the kids up.

Well, where's he?

Nobody knows.

They took him home, but there's nobody
in, and the flat's been emptied.

Bastard.
