Original subtitles

Sometimes I said, yeah, feeling alone.

No one to talk to. I got no telephone.

I can't believe it's only 11 o 'clock.

I wonder if the rain clogs up the metal detectors.

Another six hours guarding a hole.

Could be worse.

Bless you.

It's not my fault it's raining.

Hey, look, Ken. I've got a very nice job for you.

Indoor?

Top hotel.

Courtesy of the Pools Company.

And put a suit on.

We're looking after their new billionaire.

Oh!

He's got satellite.

Hey.

Hey.

Oh, my dear.

What's in here?

Oh.

Oh.

Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh.

And a bidet.

Could have put your goldfish in it.

I won the bloody pool.

Hey, come on.

You all right?

Big hum.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I've just never won a million quid before.

Well, neither have I. And if I had, I'd be in a worse state than you are.

Isn't it? Yeah, that's right. Eileen.

Here, are you all right?

Your hands are freezing.

You should take something.

I've got some powder in me bag.

No, really, I'm fine.

No.

I've got a better idea.

Room service?

I'd like a cup of hot boffin, please.

Lawrence Byrd, appointed by the Pools Company.

Financial advisor.

Eric Crawford.

Likewise. Security.

Isn't it all lovely? Yeah.

I just wish you'd put a cross for no publicity.

Here, ladies and gentlemen, is the lucky lady. Hello.

Many congratulations.

Come on, Bob. We can't afford to be shy.

What are you going to do with the money, Eileen?

Well, it's not going to change our lives, is it, Bob?

Look who's up in Nottingham.

I'm meant to stay close, Bob.

Please, Harry.

Winning money takes a lot of getting used to.

I need to be alone to think.

Honestly, it's not as complicated as it sounds.

It's just prudent investment.

I'm sure you're right.

It just sounds like Chinese to me. Don't worry.

I'll translate it for you. Oh!

Tomorrow? Thank you.

What's all this?

Well, nothing.

Letters.

I wish we wouldn't...

It's awful.

You shouldn't have read it. Why not? It's addressed to me, isn't it?

They're upsetting.

We can't have you upset.

Not going to send them money.

They need it, don't they?

Did you read that?

They probably made it up.

How could anyone possibly make up something so awful?

That's money, Eileen.

You'd be amazed what crawls out of the woodwork.

Morning.

Morning. How are Mr and Mrs Woolley registered here by any chance?

I'll check for you, sir.

May I ask you your business?

It's a long -standing engagement.

Feel guilty, Ken.

Having money.

Well, maybe it's because you don't feel you've earned it.

All my life I've dreamt of having money.

I always wanted the best for our Sheila.

Especially if she'd lost her dad.

Oh, but she's done all right.

Her husband's in information technology.

Eight little crosses.

You know what, Ken?

They don't seem fair.

Maybe it isn't fair. I mean, what is?

Doesn't mean to say you're not entitled to enjoy it, you know.

I could get the goldfish a present.

There you go.

Hello?

Yeah, fine.

I'll be right down.

Won't be long.

When I said I'd have to check with security, they disappeared.

Two men.

Where's Bob?

He's in the garden. Needs to be on his own.

Winning money takes up adjusting to. Can't have a new shit now, that, eh?

Can?

Hello, Robert.

Long time no see.

How long's it been, hmm? Three years?

At least, Morris.

Still. And well for yourself, haven't you, Robert?

You and your lady wife.

Look, I don't want any trouble. No, neither do we, do we, Neville? We ain't

trouble.

There he is.

She's called Eileen, isn't she?

You know what we want, Robert.

And she seems such a lovely lady, too.

Our office. Five o 'clock tomorrow.

Be there.

OK?

Yeah. Just a couple of reporters.

We could run away from all this.

I don't want to run anywhere.

We could go to Florida.

Or Italy?

You'd love Italy.

I've always wanted to show you Italy.

La luna, amore, bella, bella. I'm not in the mood for Italian,

Bob.

Marry me.

You always wanted us to get married.

You choose your moments, Bob.

Why?

What's wrong with now?

What was wrong with then?

Then wasn't right.

Too sudden.

Sudden?

We've been together three years.

What's sudden about that?

No, not sudden.

It's too out of the blue, all of this.

I've done much, Bob, not now.

Back to the real world?

Back to the goldfish?

Oh, Mr McAvoy, send them their handful.

You take care now. I will.

Our Sheila's coming to stay for a week. My daughter. Be nice.

Yes, I haven't seen her for ages.

Her Peter's going up in the world. Got a new area.

Oh.

There she is.

Oh, she's lost weight.

Thanks, Ken.

Oh.

Oh.

I was just saying you've lost weight.

Hope you've been eaten, Mum.

Nice to see you again, Sheila.

Hello, Bob.

Here we are.

You'll make sure you get better now.

And remember, you enjoy it.

There, that wasn't so difficult, was it?

I wish we had more jobs like that, Ken.

So do I.

Phone room service, will you? Get us a cup of bubble.

You don't like bubble?

Never mind.

I brought you all a night rest.

Please.

It's all right.

It's not real.

There you go.

Why don't you do it first?

Because I'm sure when they get used to it... Barbara, are you all right?

Have you been to the police?

Yes. They said it was just cranks.

But this is different. I know it is.

Why should anyone threaten Bob?

I won the money, not him.

Loonies aren't known for their accuracy, Eileen.

I'm frightened, Ken.

Will you help us for a bit longer?

Oh, is it the army? I can look after myself.

Look, it's only a precaution.

I can take my own precautions.

I don't doubt it, but it'll make Eileen happier.

Oh, well then, end of story.

Very sensitive.

The music relaxes him. Yeah?

Lovely. Lovely.

Thank you.

How is it?

Oh, it's all right. I'm fine. Thanks.

Ten,

nine, eight, seven, six.

Five, four, three, two, one.

He's late.

Looks like Bob needs a bit of a lesson in punctuality.

What time do you make it?

Sorry, I'm holding everybody up.

You should have taught your snap instead, Bob.

Dummy is not allowed to talk.

We could have made it, you know, Mum.

If you'd finessed the jack, then roughed your last spade.

Never mind.

Who'd like a nice sandwich?

Fish paste and cress.

Don't mind Mum, will you? She's still living in the 1950s. Why should I mind?

Oh, don't get me wrong. I think she's wonderful.

She's your mum?

Yeah.

She is. Found a tomato in the fridge.

Bob, up there.

I thought he was with you.

Oh, my God.

Oh.

Somebody's killed my friend.

Of course I didn't see anyone. I just came out here and found it like this.

You mean someone did that to my fish while we were inside?

Came into our garden?

Looks like it.

Oh, my God.

You ought to call the police, you know. No.

Look, Bob, someone means business here. No, we've been to the police. They're

not interested.

I'm not going to be humiliated again.

Do you think that'll teach him?

If not, lessons start again in the morning.

This isn't a crank, is it?

I don't know.

Come and sit down.

Look, do you know any reason why somebody should be after Bob?

Bob?

I could be.

He's an ex -copper.

What? Bob is?

Yeah. Years back.

Special branch.

Why didn't you say so?

He never seemed important.

And Bob doesn't like talking about himself. He's very modest like that.

Are you sure it was a special branch?

One of them that's been on the telly.

Was this before he joined the army or after?

The army.

Didn't he tell you about that?

No, but that's difficult.

How well do you know Bob?

We lived together, Ken.

Separate rooms, though. We're not married.

Both of them a bit old -fashioned.

We met in the laundrette, and it sort of blossomed from there.

How long have you known him?

Three years.

We had our nights down the Legion and coach trips to the Peaks.

Then he whipped me off for a romantic weekend at his brother's cottage in

Thrickston. Patrick wasn't there, of course.

It was lovely.

Been back a few times since.

Bob's a nice man, Ken.

He's kind, like you.

Sure.

Just a minute.

I bought you a little something.

I was going to post it to you, but since you're here... Eileen, I can't. It's a

thank you.

Go on.

It's only a little.

Oh.

You can tell it's now in Singapore.

It's, um, it's lovely.

I couldn't sleep.

It's the two -man job.

Hurry.

Flew.

No, what you had, Ken, was a chill.

I mean, this is virulent.

But I need your help.

I'd love to, Ken, I'd love to.

But I've got to stay indoors. I mean, I could catch no Maori and I should be in

bed, really. But, well, I mean, somebody's got to hold the fort, haven't

Yeah, thank you, Larry.

Well, what about me? Will I do?

There's some men come in a van.

They're trying to break in.

Make sure they're alright.

to your 5th rosary.

Well, well, well.

You're fussing about nothing.

He's all right.

Why has it gone so quiet?

Annie! Annie!

We're up here. It's Bob.

We can't get this door open.

Stand back.

Ransom demand.

Kidnapped?

Take her downstairs.

You'll be all right.

He was in the van.

100 ,000 and no police.

No, no police.

You read what they do?

Just pay the money.

You can't be serious.

What do you suggest?

I want him back safe.

And what's money?

All right, no police.

I don't think they're going to hurt him. How can you be sure?

Because Bob is in debt.

Don't worry.

And the people he borrowed from want their money back. No, not Bob.

Yeah, Bob.

I've seen the loan papers.

Now, if anybody's got him, they have.

He's being held at security.

You mean they won't hurt him?

Not if we play it right.

Well, that's what I'm saying.

How much?

I'll get Lawrence to arrange the money.

Where do we go? How do we pay them? It's all here.

Oh, that's easy.

Yes, we can do that. I know the area. It's near Patrick's cottage.

Mum!

I don't care what it costs, Sheila.

I want them back.

Hey, it may not cost you anything.

Thanks, Lawrence.

If you want to buy something in particular, I've got to arrange the

transfer. They want it done like this. They?

Them? Oh, three.

It's your money, Eileen.

You will take care, won't you? Don't you worry. I'll bring him back.

I'm not even going to ask her.

Good.

If it isn't Mary's little lamb.

I want a detailed description of everything you've done.

Looks like he's talking to the scarecrow.

He didn't get him confused, did he?

You seen him?

Damn.

Hey, you stay here, Rocky.

Yeah, stay here.

Sorry, mate, I can't divulge the name of the hider.

Look, my name's Boone, Ken Boone. I've got a security firm, Crawford Boone. You

what?

Nah.

Ken Boone hired the car.

He can't have.

Yeah, said for all his driving licence.

You've got a local phone book?

Yeah.

This Ken Boone, what's he look like?

Hello, Bob.

Kidnappers on their tea break, are they?

I got away, honest.

You could have been a bit more clever.

Hiding in your brother's cottage.

It's listed in the phone book.

And my license, thank you.

Holding my jacket while I fix the fish.

I only borrowed it.

Here, have it back.

Why didn't you ask her?

She would have given you the money.

Yes, but she never would have trusted me again.

I couldn't face that.

Well, I'm glad you value something.

Well, she is my income.

What did you just say?

I had no choice. They were going to kill me.

Still might, Robert.

Right.

Head of day.

Tales.

50 ,000, Robert.

50? Shut it.

You're expendable. You've done your job leading up to our friend here.

We want our money.

I can't pay it.

Don't lie to us. We know you can. It's all over the papers.

I didn't win the money.

Eileen did.

Still, first rule of marriage, eh, Robert? What's hers is yours and what's

don't know about won't hurt.

They're not married. You what?

We just lived together under married name.

She wanted it, I didn't.

Well, you do pose as a problem, Robert.

Looks like we'll just have to get the money out of Eileen.

Don't you go anywhere near her. Looks like you just talked yourself into

here as well.

Wave ten.

Where's Bob?

Where's the money?

Have you heard anything?

Look, someone did shout.

Ken went after him, but he didn't come back. Oh, Lord.

Have you still got the money?

Um, I've got the dummy.

Well, that's a relief.

You've got a worthless bit of paper.

Look, perhaps they'll arrange a second drop.

We should get Harry. I mean, if Ken's in trouble... He's not in trouble.

He's got £100 ,000 in his pocket.

He's probably legged it halfway to Brazil by now.

Now, look, it...

You were special branch.

Didn't they have a manual for opening locked doors?

Special branch.

How'd she fall for that one?

Well, it was quite a good one at the time.

Well, what did you do?

I was a purchasing clerk.

You're greedy as well, aren't you, eh?

£100 ,000 ransom.

What were you going to do with the extra 50?

A man has to live.

Swindling old ladies, that's not my idea, Devin.

She's all right, is Eileen.

A nice soft touch.

Still, I suppose you've cottoned on to that already.

Nice watch she gave you, eh?

What are you suggesting?

Oh, come on.

She's won the pools.

She's got enough for both of us.

Sorry, mate. Sorry.

Yes, I'm listening.

50 ,000?

I thought it was 100 ,000.

They must have a sale on.

It's just what we're owed, that's all.

Just get the money and we'll be in touch.

Ken? Was that his name?

Yeah, we got him.

But Alex, I'm ill.

I don't care if you're on your way to Lourdes. Ken is in trouble.

What sort of trouble?

Why couldn't you let me do it?

What then?

Hey, you run off, leave me here? No way, Bob.

You're going to leave me, aren't you?

I knew you couldn't be trusted.

All right, shut up.

Come on.

Before I change my mind and leave you locked in here.

100 ,000?

Now 50 ,000?

I hope you aren't going against my advice and throwing it away, Eileen. No,

haven't spent the 100 ,000.

You could use that, surely.

You haven't lost it.

Better lay low till they push off.

I'm not mad about this, Bob. Oh, don't be silly. Nobody comes up here.

He's perfect.

Oh, come on.

Thank you, Grace's girl.

And I'm here in one piece.

I've never been wholly truthful with you,

Eileen.

Before we met, I had some debts.

I went to this backstreet firm.

They let me have the money, no questions asked.

Shortly after, I lost my job, lost my home.

I couldn't pay the money.

I was frightened.

I did a bunk.

Oh, Bob.

I knew you'd never have lied deliberately.

I'm sorry, love.

I should have come clean straight away.

I'm just going to have to pay them.

So where's Ken?

Where indeed?

I help him to escape.

You know, army training and that. And how does he thank me? Scarpers without a

buyer leave.

That doesn't sound like Ken.

It isn't.

Well, perhaps I'm wrong in him.

Maybe he went for help.

So where is he?

And where's the money?

Money? What money?

The hundred thousand. It's probably paying into a Swiss bank account as we

speak. That's ridiculous.

Ken would never do a thing like that.

Well, he didn't pay the kidnappers either.

And I thought that was what the money was for.

Ken had the money.

Don't worry.

We've got another draft here.

Pay them if that's what it takes.

I will.

Promise me you won't stay here. Those blokes might come back. They might. I

promise.

Good idea.

If you're going somewhere to meet them, what makes you think they'll come here

as well?

Never trust the enemy. One thing I learned in the army.

Well, we'll leave it to the expert, eh?

Thanks, Harry.

Eileen.

Eileen. Yes, sir?

Marry me.

I might just do that.

Alex, you stay here.

Rocky, you go back to the office. Ken might turn up there. Where are you

Never trust the enemy.

Is no one in?

We'll wait.

Ken?

Ken?

Ken?

Hey, you! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

In the time this has taken, we could have earned the bloody money.

Patience is a virtue, Ness.

Lockie, what is going on?

Something must have happened to them.

Ken's got out of worse things than this. You mustn't worry. I can't help it. I'm

a mother. Oh, God.

No. I'm unfair, Sheila. You were never a worry. But you never had a brother.

Boys are different. You never know what they're up to.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Carry on, Mum.

You're about to rearrange the family tree.

Hang on!

Well, well, well.

It's the £100 ,000 man.

Where's Eileen?

Where's the money?

Here.

I must talk with her.

She doesn't want to talk to you.

Of course she does.

After what you did to Bob.

Pushing him over, leaving him stranded.

A helpless old man.

What are you talking about?

It's what Bob's talking about.

It's rubbish. That may be.

But are you going to tell her that?

Go on.

You know what she feels about, Bob?

You want to break her heart.

She doesn't want you around anymore.

I'm sorry.

But that's how it is.

I'll see you out.

Goodbye, Ken.

He couldn't have done.

He gave me the word.

For what good, that is?

He went straight from your house to the bank to the place where he'd locked Ken

up.

I spoke to the man who let Ken out.

Bob wouldn't do anything like that.

Anyway,

Ken's free now. He'll be here himself in a minute to confirm all this.

If Ken's there... What's he doing here?

Bob's run off with the money.

Meg, the two of them.

Oh, Ken wouldn't. His watch.

I gave it to him. At least he has some conscience.

Returned the watch by messenger.

I'm telling you, Ken would never do a thing like that.

No.

Why isn't he here then?

Where is the money?

That's all you can think about, isn't it? The money.

Alex. No, Harry.

Who's she to go throwing accusations about?

And you don't believe it, do you?

Do you?

I think you should leave.

Don't you?

About to.

Bob and Ken.

Both of them.

It's all right, Mum.

It's just you and me now.

I'll look after you.

You can come and stay with me and Peter.

We'll get rid of his mother.

We'll put her in a home.

Bob Hanken.

I know.

You're too vulnerable on your own.

We can't have you falling for every fortune hunter this side of the A1.

Where is she?

There, there.

How did you get this?

He gave it back to you, didn't he?

Didn't he, Sheila?

Ken came back.

It was to protect you, Mum.

I was going to carry it up.

It was for you.

You know you can't look after yourself.

He took an hour drive.

She's entitled to believe what she wants to believe, and there's nothing we can

do about it.

It's not fair.

Well, I owe you an apology, each of you.

I'm sorry.

Now. I don't want to be spoon -fed anymore.

I'd like the truth, however hard.

So it's not like a cheque? No.

I can't stop a banker, do I? Strictly no, but... But what, Lawrence?

It depends if it's been drafted properly.

I'm afraid this banker draft has been wrongly dated, sir.

Unglutated?

What do you mean?

Well, there is no 51st day of our 13th month of this year, sir.

For that purpose, there are plenty of offshore funds.

Offshore? Different tax havens.

The Caribbean is very popular.

Next to tourism, money is one of the major industries.

Why don't I just give you the money?

You know what to do with it. Don't be silly.

What would I do without you, Lawrence?

Don't knock me wife, Kent.

Leave him to my alone.

Leave him up and spit him out.

Hello, Bob.

Where did you get to?

Could I, uh...

Could I have a word in private?

I'm sorry, Eileen.

I didn't mean it.

I didn't, I didn't, I didn't.

I lied to you when I said I wouldn't lie any more.

I know I did.

But it won't happen again, I promise.

And I did tell you that I was in the special branch and I wasn't in the army.

And I can't really speak Italian.

And I know I don't really deserve you.

But you're all I have.

Will you marry me, Eileen?

Where's Mum?

In the bedroom with Bob.

What on earth are they doing in there?

I'm sure it's entirely proper.

Well, I must be off.

I've got rather a lot to sort out.

Well, I'm satisfied.

Bob's told me all I need to know.

Oh, please, Mum.

Don't fall for the old leech routine again.

If anyone knows about leeches, it should be you, Sheila.

You know, I'm sorry for Peter's mum, poor duck -up cow.

Fancy landing you with her daughter -in -law.

Well, this is my life, and I'm going to do what I like with it.

And I'll tell you this.

I'm going to get married.

Yeah, yeah, sure, I've got that.

Who is this?

What time's the flight?

Half past three.

Well, we'd better step on it, then.

I'm sorry, sir. I think you've come to the wrong desk.

Wrong desk? What do you mean?

The Glasgow check -in's over there.

Glasgow? Yes, sir. Your ticket's for Glasgow.

I thought we were getting married in the Caribbean.

No, Bob.

I am.

You're not.

Not late, am I, darling? Oh.

I should hurry, sir. They've called final boarding.

Well, Mrs Woolley?

You promised us our money. I said you'd get what you were owed.

You said Bob wouldn't press charges.

He didn't. I did.

False imprisonment, kidnapping, eh?

Shall I go on?

Uh, mind the worsted.

Well, like you said, I am going to enjoy it.

Excuse us, old bird.

I'll talk to her from the start.
