Thank you.

Open that.

Open it yourself. Open it or I'll break
it over your head.

Is this a wind -up? Open the bottle.

There.

That was fine.

Wasn't hard, was it? No, no, only please
leave us alone.

My mum can't do that.

Look, you heard what the lady said. You
get these pains in her arm.

We're trying to have a meal in, mate.
That's her there.

Do you recognise her?

It's her 60th birthday today.

She used to work for me. What's her
name?

Oh, listen, I employ over 300 people.
For 32 years, she sat at the sewing

machine for you and your dad before you.

And when she couldn't do it anymore
because the pain got so bad, you got rid

her. No compensation, nothing.

She needs help now just to twist the top
off a bottle of painkillers and he

can't even remember her name.

You can't expect him to remember
everybody's name. Maria Rooney.

You sacked her three years ago.

So?

I'll tell you what.

You keep that and send a bottle of
champagne over for her birthday and I

not break your arms tonight, OK?

Oh, the spineless bastard.

Slow hop behind your back and scratch
your car. I wouldn't have minded, but if

it wasn't for the factory, he'd have
nothing.

I mean, a pair of shoes should give a
four inch.

Every bike he ever had, every meal he
ever ate. I paid for that, or my dad

You should find out where they live and
sue them, great little sod.

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

Who's there?

Hiya.

You should have seen his face when Matt
poured the champagne.

Thank you. It was the funniest thing
I've ever seen.

So, you can sack someone just because
they have RSI?

If she couldn't unscrew a bottle top,
she's hardly likely to be able to work a

sewing machine, is she?

I suppose not, no.

Listen, if I sacked her, she deserved to
be sacked.

If you say so.

Well, if you don't approve, you can
sleep under somebody else's roof

OK? Hey, what's all this about?

Sorry, none of my business.

That's right, it's not.

How did you meet our kid, then?

Well, I'd noticed him a few times at the
sailing club.

But we actually got together at a bar
mitzvah, didn't we, darling?

So, you're Jewish?

No.

I'll bet you don't sail, either.

A little.

Has he taken you to Mallorca yet?

Shown you round his boat?

No, not yet.

No, I've been busy.

But we've talked about sailing round the
world on it one day, haven't we,

darling? Yeah, one day.

Sailing round the world is not that
easy, you know.

I was racing lasers around Abbasot when
I was eight years old. I got my yacht

masters at 20.

I spent my 25th birthday crewing on a
leg of the British Steel Challenge and

I've been a part -time sailing
instructor for the past two years.

I knew my way around a boat.

Even so, you'd never get my brother away
from the factory for long enough.

Maybe not.

Maybe it's just a pipe dream.

So how long are you staying?

Just tonight.

Let her calm down.

She'll be begging me to come back
tomorrow.

And why have I been lumbered with you?

Haven't you got a mate who usually puts
you up? It was his wife that she caught

me with.

He had no right of sitting judgment on
me.

He's got the morals of a dog.

He's never taken responsibility for
anything in his life.

Spent the summer sailing round the
Scottish islands with a boatload of

Playing folk music in pubs.

Getting drunk doing drugs.

In the winters he lives rent -free on
Liz's narrowboat in Lancaster.

Do you remember a woman called Marie
Rooney?

Old woman. Quiet.

Wouldn't say boo to a goose.

Why did we get rid of her?

Always taking time off.

They're slow as well. Why?

No reason.

Can we get that Nelson order out by next
Tuesday?

They'll be looking for overtime.

They'll get all the overtime they want
if this thing comes off today.

There you go, Max.

Oh, cheers, Peggy.

You've got to be a bit more careful, you
know, eating on the hoof.

All right.

You'll give yourself another ulcer.

Point taken.

Bear it in mind.

James McIntosh. James McIntosh.

Mr McIntosh.

Any more questions?

Well, here's what I think we should do,
then.

We'll give you a one -off trial order,
Mr McIntosh. See how it goes.

£240 ,000.

If you can deliver that much worth of
merchandise on time and to this quality,

you can have the whole contract.

OK.

Want me to show you out?

No, I'm fine, thanks.

Grace, I need you to get hold of Kenan
Erop.

Get hold of what?

Kenan Erop. He's a supplier in Turkey. I
need to speak to him tonight. I should

be back about seven.

Now, either get him to wait or get his
home number.

OK. Oh, and before you finish, I need a
list of flights to Istanbul leaving

tomorrow. All right. Hold on, I've got
another call coming through.

Hello? Hi, it's me.

Yeah. I was wondering, shall I come over
tonight?

No, I've got a lot on.

Did you get rid of Eddie in the end? Oh,
eventually.

Well, uh, would you both come over here,
then? Miranda, I'm in the middle of

something. I'll call you later, okay?

Sorry about that, Grace. Did you get all
that before?

Yeah.

Anything else come up while I've been
out?

Roiland's and son have gone, Bob.

You're joking!

I've had the receipts on the phone
wanting to know how much we're owed.

Too bloody much!

Have you got no home to go to?

Fantastic news.

So I'm going to fly out to your place
tomorrow morning.

No, no, I just need to see it, Kenan.

I mean, if this trial goes well, we're
talking about a £3 million a year order.

Shots throughout Europe. I mean, it
could be massive for both of us.

Yeah, so I just want to see your end of
the operation for myself.

No, it's not an insult. I just need to
make sure that everything's OK.

Well, for me own peace of mind, I'd be
putting a lot of money up front to

finance this, don't forget.

What do you want to do?

Well, the whole thing.

Factory, warehouse, docks, everything.

So, Mark, when are you coming then? I
can meet you at the end. Right, yeah.

Flight number TF1994, and it gets in at
five past six your time.

Tony said she might be able to get us
onto Sir Alex's table.

Seriously?

Yeah, that's what she said.

So back by Friday, OK?

OK.

Right, my dinner jacket's in the
wardrobe nearest the bathroom.

The car's booked in for a respray this
afternoon.

And can you remember the number for the
alarm?

Carved in stone, darling.

It's all yours then.

Big moment, this, isn't it?

Why? You giving me your spare keys.

That's so symbolic, don't you think?

Perhaps I should reciprocate and give
you mine.

I thought it was more practical than
symbolic.

Of course it is, yeah.

You're probably expecting them back when
you return?

No, no, it's OK, you keep.

Are you sure?

Yeah. I'll get a set of mine cut for you
while you're away. Attention, please.

Flight TF1994 to Istanbul is now
boarding at gate 12.

Would all passengers please make their
way to the departure gate?

OK, I'd better be going.

Bye, Danny. See you.

I don't want to talk about it.

Liz wouldn't take you back?

No.

Is that her?

It's my guitar.

She set fire to it, the bitch.

I don't even want to talk about it. It
gets me too upset.

Let's just go inside.

Oh, I'm sorry, Eddie, you can't stay
here.

Why? And Mac's away. I've only popped
round to take his PJ to the dry

You won't mind?

I wouldn't feel right letting someone
stay in a house without him knowing.

Well, I'll give him a ring.

I can't. He's on a flight to Turkey.

I'm thinking when he lands.

There's a guest house about an hour down
the road. I haven't got any money.

This is all I have in the world. I had
to camp in a field last night.

I suppose I could stretch to a small
loan.

Do you know what, love?

Forget it.

I've been the place for all I know. I've
a good mind to call the police. When

did Matt marry Catherine? Why? What
date's his anniversary?

Oh, is that the code for the alarm?

He's doing that romance here.

Do you know it? Well, if I do, I'll be
able to get in once you've gone, won't

Aston rang in sick this morning. Every
time I answered the phone, it was

coughing down me luggles.

He's not answering.

Oh, that's right. He'll still be in the
air.

It's no good.

I left the lid of the cutting room off.

McIntosh Textiles.

Listen, lads.

Listen!

I'm going to have to lay off this
afternoon.

Why? How come we never get laid off when
the sun's shining? I've got eight

machines run down with fluid. I can't
keep up with you.

What, is that our fault?

We are getting paid, aren't we?

They can lay us off for four hours in
only one week without pay.

Says who? The agreement.

I never agreed to that.

You'll make it up in overtime at the end
of the week. So finish at dinner and

back at eight tomorrow, OK?

I say we register a protest at the bar
near this pub!

Are you with me, brothers?

Yeah!

Look,

Eddie, you can't do that. You can't put
that there.

I've nowhere else to go.

Come inside.

Nowhere to go.

And I'm not welcome in my own brother's
empty house. Of course you're welcome.

So why don't you stop all this silliness
and come inside?

I'm happy here, thank you.

This isn't what I should be doing. I
should be getting trained.

You are getting trained to be a flexible
worker.

Just a flexible worker?

Someone who can do three things at the
same time. Bend over, drop the kegs and

keep the mouth shut.

They laid us off today. They have to pay
us.

Steve hasn't got the ball to do that
while Mac's away.

How's your trip, by the way?

Yeah, very good.

Miranda? Oh, I'm sorry, Mac. I've just
been rushed off my feet. You wouldn't

believe it.

No, you drive. I'm too tired.

What?

Home. Straight to bed.

Yes, Grace, what is it?

We've got a problem, Matt. The
machinists are all off thick.

What, all of them?

Yeah.

Every last one?

More or less.

Well, I'll be there in half an hour.

I hope.

Sorry, I always prefer a rudder to a
steering wheel.

No chance they're swinging the lead,
don't you?

Frida looked like they'd live and death
in a week.

Well, you should have sent her home,
then.

I'm not a doctor.

Well, you could see she wasn't well.

If people tell me they're fit for work,
I have to take their word for it. Yeah,

and now it's all around the machine room
and the old place has come to a stop.

It's not my fault. Whose fault is it?

Frida's, I suppose.

So, how was your journey? Tiring.

Right, I want you to transfer the money
to the Aerobe account this afternoon,

urgent. Then I need you to get in touch
with all the employment agencies, see

how many qualified machinists they could
send me for Monday morning if I'm

desperate. Most of your messages are on
your desk. Right.

And film a taxi for Miranda.

Have you laid anybody off this week?

I've sent the cutting room on Tuesday
afternoon.

Oh, shit.

They'd already built up a massive
stockpile.

Hello, could you send a cab to McIntosh
Textiles? It's for Miranda Clarkson.

Right. You go home with your own back,
don't get paid.

So you make sure he sends you home, all
right? Right.

So, lads, Friday afternoon, payday.

Bet you're all gagging for an early
dart.

Oh, no way. I love my job, me.

Brings meaning to my life. Gives the
purpose of the day. I only wish we could

work Sundays as well. Oh, me too. I hate
Sundays.

All that time with the wife and kids.

Go on, then, bugger off.

Oh, do we have to?

You like my...

Warren, Mac, how are you?

Yeah, good.

Look, I just wanted to sound you out
about something.

A couple of my machinists have gone down
with the flu.

Now, they'll be all right by Monday.

It's just that I need a contingency plan
just in case.

Yeah,

well, I've got this order to get off for
Tuesday.

The cutting's already done. I just need
it making up.

Well, if the worst came to the worst,
could you handle it in your place?

Right, well, if I fax the specs to you
now, do you think you could give us a

price by the end of the day?

Yeah, no problem.

Leave it to me.

Bye.

She did the right thing, as far as I'm
concerned.

Why should I keep bailing you out?

You're like a big kid.

Your life's a joke, Eddie. It's about
time you grew up.

It's no wonder Liz keeps chucking you
out.

Oh, don't be doing that. What?

You know what? It won't work.

I can't help it, Mark.

I love her.

I love her more than any woman I've ever
been with.

And I've been with a few.

But I could get her back.

And even if I don't, I could replace
her.

But this... This is my Gibson
Hummingbird.

She set fire to a 1961 Gibson
Hummingbird.

It's not funny.

What time will you get back?

As early as I can.

With the lovely Miranda?

Probably.

You're not serious about her, are you?

I like her.

Your taste in women has not improved.

At least mine don't throw me out. Just
walk out.

Do you want to stay here?

Sorry. Right, well, shut it, then.

That was below the belt. Sorry.

You must have been gutted when she left
you.

I got over it.

It's not as if I lost a guitar or
anything, is it?

Warren.

Mac.

Did you get my quote this afternoon?

Best laugh I had all day.

Take it or leave it.

Consider it left.

It's only to cover me back anyway.

One of the reps said you had a shutdown
this afternoon.

Well, it must have been more than a
couple of machinists off.

We'll be back to normal Monday morning.

Oh, well.

You know where I am if you need me.

Don't hold your breath.

Who's the customer, anyway?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Mac, I got it.

Got what?

Rocco's baby grow.

You what?

Madonna's son, Rocco. I've just bought
one of his baby grows. Look!

Can you write me a cheque?

You know what they do to them things?

Throw up on them and shit in them.

Don't you care about cerebral palsy? Is
that what you're saying?

That's what it sounds like. You didn't
want to pay for it, you should have

Why, in front of Warren Ludlow?

Do you want me to pay you back?

No. Just don't tell Eddie.

Mac, helping make life better for little
spastic children is nothing to be

ashamed of.

You should be proud.

Hiya, kids.

How was it?

We raised over £30 ,000.

Nice one.

And was it a good do?

Yeah, fabulous.

I was just about to do that.

Of course you were.

So, back again?

It's only temporary.

Listen, I'll get out of your way.

Leave you both two in.

There's no need. We're going straight to
bed.

Mac's exhausted, aren't you, Mac?

That's right.

I'm going up. See you in a minute.

OK. Don't be long.

Night, Eddie.

Night, love.

Two minutes you've been here.

I'll do that.

I thought you'd be back later, that's
all.

Listen, I wanted to talk to you about
something.

Yeah, well, not now.

I'm off tomorrow. Do it then.

You seem tense.

I am.

I need to wonk you off for that.

You can bet I will.

I was thinking about what you were
saying yesterday.

About my life being a joke.

Oh, yeah, what about it?

You were right.

It's about time I got my act together.

What are you going to do?

I quite fancy starting my own business.

Oh, and what business do you quite
fancy?

I don't know.

Narrowboat repairs, maybe.

Come on, breakfast must be ready.

Better go in, we can finish this later.

My Gibson was worth seven grand.

When the insurance money comes through,
I can buy a clapped -out 40 -footer,

live on it while I'm doing it up, Sell
it for a profit and then buy another

And that's a business plan, is it?

Yeah. And where are you going to get the
money for the repairs and then the

money to live on while you're doing
them?

I thought you might lend it me.

You've got bloody cheeks.

Think of it as reinvesting some of the
profits from the family business.

Hey, hey, that is my business. I owe you
nothing.

I'll pay you back.

Listen, if you're serious about this...
I am. Right, you apply for a grant. Bank

loans. I don't need all that, do I?

No, you just want the easy option, don't
you?

Are you two going to stay out there all
morning?

What's wrong with her? I don't know.
Come on, we'd better go in.

Don't. Come on, kid.

This loan.

Yeah, go now.

No. Why?

I can't afford it.

What's wrong?

Him, that's what's wrong.

What have I done?

Used Rocco Ritchie's baby grow as a
dishcloth.

What are you talking about?

£600 Mac paid for that last night.

£600. And you wiped down the oven with
it.

My members need to know where they
stand, Mac.

Most of them have got family
responsibilities. They need to put the

What do you want me to do, drag them
from their sickbeds? I'm only trying to

clarify the position.

I've been on to all the agencies, and
that's what they sent me.

There's no qualified machinists around.

Nobody's being trained up anymore.

Now, is that my fault?

No, it's just that a lot of my members
have the opinion that a little bit of

forward planning... I can't do anything
about a flu epidemic, you prick!

Back tomorrow morning.

Oh. Go back to yours and watch your
video, if you want.

Reader. Matt.

Get in.

Thought you had the flu.

Thought you were too sick to come into
work.

Sorry, Matt, but I had an outing for the
kids. I'd run out of everything. What

could I do?

I know I've had a lot of time off, but
the first two weeks, it was the kids.

First Gary got it and then Charlotte, so
I had to stay off to look after him.

And then when I got it, I tried to
battle through because I'm skint.

I need the money.

But honest to God, Matt.

Frida, we're here.

Oh, thanks, Matt.

I appreciate this.

You look after yourself.

I catch it, you're sacked.

Thanks,

Matt. Yeah, there is a lot of it around.

So when?

Well, definitely Friday, possibly even
earlier.

Friday? Listen, I know late delivery
normally means financial penalties, but

this is the first time we've ever let
you down, so I don't suppose... Mr

McIntosh. Would you ever let one of your
suppliers get away with such a late

delivery? No, no, of course not. We will
expect you to honour our contract.

Yeah, I understand.

It's invoice number MAC02.

One of them flash things, 7261.

Well, it was due over five weeks ago,
according to our records.

We've sent you two written reminders
already, and we're going to sue you soon

you're not careful. In the post.

So we'll be receiving it tomorrow, then,
will we?

James McIntosh.

Hello, Julian Johnson.

Oh, hello again. What can I do for you?

I'm just ringing to let you know that
we've now found an alternative supply

that late order.

What, ready?

That's right.

In less than two hours?

And he says he can deliver by the end of
tomorrow. The exact same spec?

Yes, and if you prove it to be
dependable, we won't be needing your

again.

Well, he's a fast worker, whoever he is.

Yes, he is.

Um,

I don't suppose you can give me a name,
can you?

No, no, I understand.

And I think I can guess who it is
anyway.

Goodbye, Mr Macintosh.

Thanks for your call.

Or is it bad news?

Get me Warren to draw on the phone.

In your life.

Poor darling.

Look,

you know I keep promising to take you
out to the boat.

Are we going?

No. It would be a fantastic place to
recuperate.

We can't go because I'm going to have to
sell it.

You can't sell it. I've got to.

I haven't even seen it yet.

Well, I'm sorry.

Why do you have to sell it?

Pay next month's wages.

What's happened?

Basically, I've got a cash flow problem.
It's temporary.

Selling the boat should help me get over
it.

Can't the wages wait?

Miranda, it's over 300 people's lives.

There must be another way.

Downsize the workforce.

Well, I suppose I could remortgage the
house.

But I actually used the house.

You could sell it.

Sell the house and move in with me.

Won't that bugger up your other money
payments?

Do you think I like depending on Doug
for money?

What about depending on me?

I love you.

Think about it, Mac.

We're two single people bouncing around
houses that are far too big for us.

It makes sense to move in together.

to me.

Catherine chose it.

I've never felt at home here.

If you move in with her, she'll have a
ring on your finger by the end of the

year.

Maybe that's what I want.

Big mistake, Mac.

Catherine II.

They're totally different.

I told you that Catherine was a scrubber
and I was right.

And I told you that she didn't love you.
You can't say that about Miranda. She

loves me.

Do you love her?

Well, she wouldn't walk out on me like
Catherine did.

Like others have.

You can do better.

Can I?

Well better.

I mean, we're heading towards 40, Eddie.

I don't even want family, kids.

I've got Jordan. Kids you live with, I
mean.

That you have some say in the naming of.

Is that what this is?

Some kind of midlife dad thing?

You know, when we were kids, right...

Dad used to leave for the factory before
we were up.

Most nights, we'd go on the bed before
he got home.

Did you ever ask him why he did it?

No. So that we could be comfortable.

That was his answer.

Us.

Why do I do it?

Oh, hey, Matt.

Feeling better now?

Yeah.

Good.

She told them the whole thing. She told
them she set fire to it on purpose.

What kind of twisted bitch is she? I'm
busy.

I was relying on my insurance.

That's all I had in the world.

You'll have to go.

This is important.

So is this.

What am I going to do, Mark?

Go home. We'll talk about it tonight,
OK?

Home? Where's home? She threw me out.

You're going to throw me out. Your
bloody for sale sign woke me up this

Once you sell that house, I'll have
nowhere.

Find somewhere.

I've got no money.

Well, sign on, get a job, just grow up.

I was thinking maybe I could get a job
out in Spain.

What? If you lent me the money to fly
out there, I could stay on your boat,

after it for you.

Are you serious?

Well, you'll have some spare cash when
you sell your house.

I don't believe you. I pay the mooring
fees and it just sits there rotting

I could do any maintenance work that
needs doing. Do you know how long I've

spent on that boat in the last year?
Exactly. It's a waste.

Why should I work my bollocks out? It's
lying empty.

So? It's not like a loaf of bread.

If I use it, it's not left for you.

No, you're not. Why not? Just no, okay?

No, you won't help me start my own
business.

No, you won't let me use your empty
boat.

No, no, no.

You begrudge me everything.

Get out of my office. No. Get out!

This is mine by rights anyway.

Oh, here we go.

McIntosh Textile. Can you hear that
name? I hear it.

McIntosh, as much me as you. Dad knew
you were too bold and idle to do your

shit. I never got the chance. And I
never got the chance to talk about an

school or to live on a beach in
Thailand. But you've got the business.

business. That's all I've got. You've
got the fancy boat.

You've got the house, the jug. You're
comfortable, all right. But what have I

got? A cremated guitar. You went your
way and I went mine.

My way was harder.

another satisfied customer.

Get out!

Get out and stay out!

I want you out of my house as well.

By the time I get home tonight, I want
you gone.

What's going on?

It's all right, Steve.

It's going.

of people in the factory and he can walk
through them all and attack you in

broad daylight.

As long as they get their wages, they
don't care what happens to me.

And these are the people you're selling
your house for?

I know.

You know, to Dad, that factory was like
his family.

He saw them more than he saw us.

Knew everybody by their first name.

They knew him.

But it's too big now.

I can't know them all.

I go to all the do's.

I sit in the canteen. I'm in the lottery
syndicate.

But I'm always out of the loop.

But I don't understand why you'd want to
be in the loop in the first place.

If that syndicate ever won, we'd get
maybe 60 grand each.

They'd give up their jobs. I'd go out of
business.

That's the difference.

They could lose their job today and walk
straight into another one tomorrow. Not

me.

I have to keep going, keep feeding the
machine.

You could always sell it.

I wouldn't get a price.

Not at the moment.

Just walk away, then. If it's making you
that unhappy, just leave it.

As soon as the money comes through from
your house, put it into a personal

account, then we can fly out to the boat
and sail around the world like we've

always planned.

What about the workers?

Screw them. They can walk away any time
they feel like it.

Why shouldn't you be able to do the
same?

I couldn't do that.

Make it quick.

Some of the girls have been telling me
about the Christmas do.

Free bar, running buffet, entertainment.

What about it? Well, I'm going to be in
Lanzarote at Christmas.

It was a special offer, I couldn't say
no.

Yeah, well, Grace deals with holiday
booking.

Yeah, I know, but, like, cos I'm going
to miss the party, I was wondering if I

could have the money instead.

I can't just explain that.

Why not?

It's too deep.

I'll have to replace the whole panel.

How much will you give me for the car?

I've got to buy her for the house.

I told you it wouldn't take long.

I've decided you were right. I can't be
bothered anymore.

As soon as the fail goes through, I'm
off to Mallorca.

And then around the world. Why not?

You know, if we make it around the world
and we're still together at the end, it

would tell us an awful lot about our
relationship.

I suppose it would, yeah. I mean, after
all that, we'd probably have to get

married or something.

Yeah, probably.

You forget something, did you, Matt?

I'm saying I'd forget my head if you
weren't screwed on.

That's what girls are always saying to
me.

Go home, Barry.

What? Go home. I don't need you tonight.

I've got to be here because they check
up on me back at the office.

I employ your firm and they take their
orders from me.

And tonight, I want to be alone, OK?

Go and read your girls a bedtime story.

Have a bit of hope for all that.

Go home.

Take a long weekend.

Right.

I'll see you on Monday morning, then.
I'm on days next week.

It will know you're dead soon.

I'm sorry, won't that touch your card?

Your card's been refused, sir.

What, you're taking the piss?

Someone out there.

Mark, you scared us half to death.

Sorry.

How did you know I'd be here?

We love each other, don't you?

We have a moment.

Catch.

What's this?

You said you wanted your own business.

You can have mine.

Monday morning I'm flying out to the
boat and I might not be back.

At the same time, the workforce will be
clocking on and there's a big shipment

due to arrive from Turkey.

This is a letter to Peter Cochran, my
solicitor.

It gives you power of attorney over the
factory.

You can make sure he gets it or you can
throw it in the canal and no -one need

ever know. It's up to you.

I can't run a factory.

You can learn.

There's plenty of people there who know
what they're doing.

And you can employ somebody to help you
if you like.

That factory's got a future.

There's plenty of work.

A big order in the offing.

You might make a go of it. You might
make a hash of it. But either way, it's

your responsibility now.

If that factory doesn't open for
business Monday morning, it's your

mine.

See ya.

Been locked out. What, are you kidding?

Yeah, and they owe us a month's wages.

I've got a load of yarn in the back of
me. What am I supposed to do with that?

Where am I going to get another job at
my age? Do you mean you're going to be

lockdowns in this time next week? I
don't know what's going on.

What do you know?

I haven't been out all weekend. I had no
reason to try and spend any money.

I've got about two dozen direct debits
going out this morning.

What are we going to do now? Subsidise
every bugger out whenever a penny to the

textiles industry. The business has been
going down the pan for months. They

think it's just women's work. The
business was going well. There's a three

million pound order in the pipeline. Why
has he done a runner then? Without

wages. No, Matt wouldn't do that. He's a
decent fella. He's the best boss I ever

had. He was bloody marvellous with me
when I got lumbered with a kid. And he

always gives us a good do at Christmas.
Will you listen to yourself?

He's a boss, isn't he? They're all the
bloody same.

Hello. It's me.

I'm ringing to say I'm sorry I'm at the
airport.

What are you doing there?

You're buying our tickets.

I've changed my mind. I can't do it,
Miranda.

Oh, you can, Mac.

We've been through this a zillion times.
You don't know anyone living.

You can walk away whenever you like.

But not with you.

Not with me.

I'm sorry.

I don't think it would work out.

You're just scared to leave the factory.

No, it's not that.

You've got some misplaced loyalty to
your workers.

I'm still leaving the factory. I'm still
going to Spain. I've got my ticket. The

plane leaves in 20 minutes. I'd just
rather go on my own.

I'm sorry.

I've told everybody now.

It was supposed to be a secret.

Us two together, sailing around the
world.

It was going to be so romantic.

Leaving 320 people in the lurch isn't
romantic.

I'm going home. Go home, you'll never
get the wages they owe you. We'll never

get them anyway.

Probably on some pizza and we're
spending them. Okay, listen, everyone.

Will you listen?

Now,

there's thousands of pounds worth of
yarn in the back of this.

There's even more of it inside that
factory.

And God knows how much all the machinery
and stuff's worth.

Now, if we just go home now, they'll
bring in the receivers, they'll all get

sold and we won't see a penny of it.

We're sat in the house. We've got no
control over anything.

Well, we've got no control anyway. Just
shut us down like that.

There's nothing we can do about it.
Yeah, there is.

We can get in there.

We can get over the gate and occupy it.

And no -one gets in and nothing gets out
until they guarantee that we'll get

what we're owed.

Never mind that.

We've got orders.

There's work to be done in there.

And who's going to pay us, Steve? You?
Well, I'm... not working for nothing.

Whether we work or not, we've got to go
over the gate.

And I'm definitely not climbing over
that thing flashing my knickers to the

world. Thank God for that.

Once we're inside, we've got a bit of
control.

It's what we did at Peck's down in
Leicester a couple of years ago.

Come on then Trotsky, let's storm the
barricade.

Ranger James McIntosh, proceed to gate 5
immediately, please.

James McIntosh to gate 5.
