Original subtitles

We left Skeleton on the same day once, you know.

I went off to Durham for a job and you took your room to your granddad Toby's in Cuddy.

I was waiting on the platform when your gran came and told Dad you'd vanished.

How was he when you nipped in to say goodbye?

Oh, he was all right.

I thought at one time he'd blame me personally for Labour being voted out.

He's put his tape measure away, anyway.

His what?

That he was using to measure exactly where I stood on the left.

He'll be watching me like a hawk, though.

Settling in down there?

I'm getting the feel of the house now.

It's if they close Cuddy I'll be expected to rise and shine and get stuck into them.

I'll not be the only one, though.

If Cuddy goes I'll be cut so round in the coal industry it's marginal.

If Cuddy stays open George will come back from Cornwall.

Ethel thinks he's looking for a house.

He'll not be looking so damned hard.

He'd lost heart for it before he left here.

You'll keep an eye on Eileen for us?

Aye, I'll do that.

When's your turn coming?

I know, you want to stop single and live forever.

I read in the newspaper somewhere that married men live longer than bachelors.

Looks as if I might have to change my mind, eh?

I've never regretted it.

Well, a two week's holiday I'm on.

Hoping it might be a good time, eh?

You know what they say about marrying in haste, don't you?

Make sure you marry for the right reasons.

What are the right reasons, Frank?

Ask me next time, I'm off.

Have you seen Corby lately?

Thanks.

No, not for about a month or so.

Why, what's the problem?

I'm not sure that there is one.

What do you think of the new extensions?

Oh, looking fine.

A hive of activity.

Aye, except for Corby.

We gave him the job of partitioning the offices and storerooms in the holidays.

Gives him a fortnight from today.

I did say he could start preparation from Wednesday

last, couldn't see him finishing otherwise.

The staff we're taking from Stainforth are due on

the 21st, we've just no other accommodation for them.

His material's here alright, but there's no signs of his men.

Well, I did say he might need chasing.

I'll let Cassie persuade me.

She seems to feel she owes him a debt.

No, Dodger.

No, Sam.

Off on holiday tomorrow?

No, holidays at home this year.

Saving up for a scooter.

I'll be working on Corby's accounts today.

I'll probably have to go around there tonight if there are, you know, any queries.

Would you like me to drop a hint?

Aye, might be as well if you do.

Come in.

Hello, Sam.

Oh, Maurice.

Have I come at a bad time?

What are you doing here?

You're supposed to be on holiday.

I'm, er...

I'm a bit worried about the lads that are

stopping on over the holidays for maintenance.

Franklin from Stainforths.

He rubs them up the wrong way.

Well, you're in charge of the shop, Sam.

Yeah, when I'm here.

I could stop on.

I'm not going anywhere.

He thinks we can't manage without him.

It's up to you.

You take your holiday.

If I lose control, I'll whistle you back.

You keep an eye on it, then.

You can hold me personally responsible.

You're a witness.

Right.

See you later.

Give my love to Jessie.

Yes, sir.

Times have changed, Maurice.

He used to be Yes Mr. Robert, No Mr. Robert in this office when Dad was alive.

Does he like being in charge of the assembly shop?

Well, I think his loyalties tend to get a bit divided sometimes.

He seems to need to have a foot in both camps.

Dad.

Aye.

Somebody to see you.

Mr. Corby.

Aye.

Mr. Arthur Benjamin Corby.

Aye, that's right.

Will you please accept service of this?

You're what?

I'll let myself out.

Hang on a minute.

Good morning, Mr. Corby.

Who is that?

Oh, nobody much.

I brought your contract.

Can you look after this for me while I nip to the shops?

Oh, aye.

Aye.

There we are.

Are you all right?

Aye.

Aye, I'm... I'm in my head on a job.

Off you go, I'll look after him.

I won't be long.

How did you do this?

Grandad, grandad, grandad.

When you grow up, don't spend your youth working your fingers to the border, lad.

Work at a pace that will let you live.

Don't get to my age, find your note.

Not much to remember, either.

Right.

Will you sit over here now?

I just moved from over there to here, didn't I?

Yes, you did.

So I could sweep over here.

Now I want to sweep over there, don't I?

If you'd swept here first, I'd have only had to move once, wouldn't I?

Yes, well, we can't all be as bright as you, can we?

Now, would you mind looking slippy?

I'm late and I've got work of my own to do.

Work?

We are, George, working away in Cornwall.

What work?

The dust does not cease to settle just because he's away, you know.

Look, are you moving or shall we just leave a permanent muck heap there?

Storm the bloody crawl.

I can do anything for anybody as long as it's appreciated.

Did you get your pension this week?

Of course I got my pension.

Good.

Then you can pay me for them groceries I got you.

It were, er, twelve and six and eight, as far as I remember.

Has he said up to you about where he's going for his holidays?

Sam?

He's not going anywhere so far as I know.

He promised me a day out.

Well, that is a coincidence, isn't it?

What is?

He promised me a day out too.

Not that I shall hold him to it.

You're not.

Would you?

He only did it from a sense of duty.

You don't think he'd go for a day out with either you or me, do you?

Why shouldn't he?

Well, he's got his own life to lead, hasn't he?

You don't think he wants you hanging round his neck all the time, do you?

You speak for yourself.

He's got his own life to lead, has Sam.

I shall not be a drag on him for one.

He's got his own interests.

You mean Kirby's lass, I suppose.

Happen.

He ticks her out, that's all.

Happen.

If you know summat, say summat.

I know what I see, that's what I know.

He wants to wed her.

I wouldn't be surprised.

And keep another man's bairn.

Like Alan Deakin did, you mean.

Not to my wishes.

She's the wrong sort for him.

You know all about it, I suppose.

She's been spoilt, me Kirby.

She's been taught a way of life we know naught about.

I worse luck.

I know your bloody aspirations.

I'm not entitled to aspirations, aren't I?

You can have them all you want.

They'll come to naught.

Do you think I don't know that?

What do you think's kept me going all these years?

Dreaming of winning the pools or the Irish sweep.

Thinking somebody might leave me a fortune one day.

I'll tell you what's kept me going, master.

Making the best of what I've had.

Now don't you belittle what I've done with my life.

Don't you dare.

Don't you nag at me just because you've not got your own husband to take it out on.

He must think he's in bloody Shangri-La down in Cornwall.

Come here, no more.

No more.

That suits me, missus.

I can use a brush, you know.

Breakfast for your company.

That suits me, missus.

Isn't that good, look.

I'm not eating it.

Go on, have a go.

This way.

Like that, go on.

Push it, push it.

I'm sorry, I went for a note in the house.

It's all right, Arthur.

Have a night for boozing, if I'm so minded.

What have you brought him now?

Nothing much.

You're ruining him.

Well, I was ruined a bit at his age.

I had to pay for it later, though.

He'll not.

How do you make that out?

He's got you.

You'll not see him short.

You're not cast iron like me grandad.

You're as soft as a brush when it comes to kids, Arthur.

Look what he did to me home.

She'll be all right, we'll see her.

Will she?

You guarantee it, will you?

Will you?

Arthur.

Embarrassed, you haven't.

How do you think I feel?

Then why say it?

I haven't got the right to know.

She's all right, Arthur.

It's hers, not yours.

She's a grown woman.

She can take care of herself, can't Sarah?

Can't she?

Take away what she gets from me and what has she?

What the hell are you going on about?

Did you say you're on holiday?

Aye, we're staggering them to get the alterations done.

Will you do me a favour?

Like what?

Take her out for the day.

What, tomorrow?

Aye.

Bit short notice, isn't it?

You're not been round for a week.

I've been up to my neck in it at the works.

She knows about it, I rang her.

What's wrong with you, Arthur?

It's just I've got some people coming.

It's business.

You'll be better out of it, that's all.

Why don't you say so?

Well, can't you?

Well,

look what dropped in.

Think I was a burglar?

Cassie.

Do you always leave the front door unlocked when you're working late?

Well, we've paid all the bills today, so there's nothing left to pinch.

Apart from a few five tonne castings.

You've come to tell me off again.

I've come to drag you out of here.

I've had to leave the kids with Jessie.

Yes, I know.

Another late night.

I've lost count of them.

Well, it'll slacken off next week.

You said that last week.

You think I shall take over here?

Let you stop at home and look after the kids?

What shall I do first?

Raise that capital you were needing?

Oh, we've raised it.

Yes, we got a twelve and a half thousand

loan from the Industrial Finance Corporation.

And another two and a half from my cousin Rich, in exchange for shares.

Oh.

Well, I'd better get a production increase then, haven't I?

What do I do?

Pick up the phone and shout at somebody?

Not in this organisation, you don't.

Raising kids is all I'm qualified to do, I suppose.

You a bit bored with life, are you?

Can't have it both ways.

Sam phoned.

Oh?

Wanted to know if I'd have young Tom tomorrow.

He's taking Sarah out for the day.

Oh, sounds as though he might be going to pop the question.

Pop the question?

What an old-fashioned thing you are.

Is that what you thought when you came to ask me?

I'll go and pop the question to Cassie.

Oh, it's about time he got married.

You think?

Yes, it might settle him and his work more.

You don't think he's settled?

Well, you always get the feeling with Sam that he might just take wings and fly away.

Yeah.

You felt that too?

Yeah, I felt it too.

Why didn't you fly away?

Well, somebody needed me to stay.

Me?

All before you.

Mum, Dad, the foundry.

It's not a complaint, you know, it's just a fact.

Anyway, perhaps some of us aren't too sure about wings.

And you know, if you want to be needed, there's always someone.

Or something.

Where are you being?

Down at Brown Co.

Thought you might have come round for a glass.

I've been planting lettuces down at the lotment.

They dropped off when I got back.

You'd better get to bed then.

Early rise tomorrow.

I'm not getting wet, Sam, to get your bloody breakfast.

Breakfast?

I'm on holiday.

We're going off for the day.

Who is?

You are.

Up early.

Creep off quiet before anybody wakes, eh?

I thought I must be the last in the queue.

Mystery trip.

Somewhere I've always wanted to take you.

Where?

Where?

Well, if I tell you where, it won't be a flaming mystery, will it?

What's, um, what's this for here?

It's timber, what it says.

Oh, yes, yes, yes, I didn't see that.

Well, I'm off to bed.

Sam said he'd be round at seven to take Tom to Cassie's.

I think we're having him part of the time.

Good, he likes a change of company.

Good night, then.

Good night.

It's another receipt for timber.

Yes, yes, that's, um, that's all right, then.

As a matter of fact, it wasn't just the timber I came about, Arthur.

I didn't want to say anything while Sarah was here.

You found it, have you?

Yes.

There's a hell of a lot not covered, Arthur.

What is there over the turn of the year in outstanding debt?

Debt's to me.

Next to nothing.

Nothing like enough to pay that lot off.

I got this today.

The bank want the house.

Did you find the milk?

Aye, I found it.

He went back to sleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

I'll have to be off in a minute.

I'm picking up Sarah when I've been back home.

Where are you going?

It's that place we went to with Morris last time, you know.

Oh, I forgot you weren't there, were you?

It was, uh, Jessie and Sarah.

Get us mixed up, do you?

I wanted you to be there, Cass.

Go away, Sam.

I'm sorry, Cassie.

It didn't happen, it never happened.

I'm sorry, Cass.

Go away, go away, Sam.

Where are you supposed to be off to?

Same place as you, by the look of it.

You ready for off, then?

Sherry?

She's gone.

She's gone.

You're quiet in the back there.

Can we have lunch early today?

What?

Can we have lunch early today?

What?

Can we have lunch early today?

Up at twelve, all right.

Fine, right.

Thank you.

Oh, I might be a bit late tonight, though.

What, work?

Yes.

Didn't you tell me you had a night off?

It's Arthur Corby.

What's Arthur's problem?

The bank want his house.

The what?

The bank want his house.

Look, I shouldn't discuss it with you, really, but since Sarah's involved...

she's in for a rough time, I'm afraid.

What did he want his house for?

He'd used it as security to keep the business going.

He's up to his neck in debts.

Been keeping things from me, thought I wouldn't approve, I suppose.

He's damn right to.

They can't take the house, can they?

Too true, they can.

And will, that's business.

He's had his money, now they want their pound of flesh.

Isn't there any way out?

Yes.

Borrow from somewhere else to pay the interest on what he's borrowed already.

Just the interest?

Just the interest.

Can't you help?

He's a... he's a bad risk, Jess.

I don't... I don't know anybody who'd take him on.

All I can do is to try to minimise the damage.

But where will they live?

You tell me.

Oh, God, poor Sarah.

This is it.

Not even a glimpse of the sea, is this all we're getting?

No, I mean this is where we stopped when I came once before.

Am I right?

Well, it's not as I remember it.

Well, this is it, you can take my word for it.

Go on, you've not remembered, you were only ten at the time.

Ten?

I was eleven.

He was eleven.

He was ten as I remember.

Eleven he was.

Let's call it ten and a half, split the difference, eh?

Ten's what I remember.

Stopped here, did you?

Aye.

Call the nature.

The nature.

Motorbike and sidecar, the Deakin, Bordaff, Gascoynes, five of you in it to work?

Aye.

I've come to the end of eight year out of work that day.

They made me check weighment.

Aye.

It meant we'd the means to keep you and your mam at home with us.

But it come too late.

She were deep in with Deakin by then.

That was a bitter pill, that was.

It's all in the past, Grandad.

Aye.

The past.

I'll go and see what Sarah's up to.

The past.

Now we're spent up.

I didn't give it you to put in Yorkshire penny.

Six pints and a jill.

Money don't drain you, they said at one time.

So it is.

Aye, it is, I don't dispute it, but time comes, Polly, time comes.

So it seems.

I shall not make a practice of it.

No.

We shall go on as we are.

Aye.

You know, don't you?

Aye, I know.

I wanted to tell you, Miss Sam.

No matter.

Good news is good, choose who brings it.

Look.

Hmm.

Will it take this time of year?

Worth a try.

Well, I'll not be missing this lot, that's for sure.

Permission to speak.

What?

You're quiet today.

Quiet?

Hardly said two words in the car, any of you.

Family row?

Not.

OK.

You know what that is?

What is it?

What does it look like?

A shoot.

It's called a bract.

It's a baby leaf.

But I don't think it grows anymore.

It stays as it is.

It's lucky, then.

You think?

What stage do you want to have your development arrested at, then?

Or have you passed it already?

Hoppin'.

Well, when were your golden years, then?

Up to when Grandad told me he left me them houses and that bit of land, I suppose.

Doesn't sound like a catastrophe to me.

Well, I used to live off what I earned up to then.

If I wanted anything, I saved for it.

Knew where I was.

Caused me a lot of trouble, that lot.

Well, you've got rid of it all now.

I've four houses left.

A few shares in Crossmans for that land I let them have.

Where do you think that came from?

You could afford it anyway, couldn't you?

You have a good job.

Well, that's something else again.

I used to finish work when I left Pit Gates behind me.

I take it home now.

You enjoy it, though.

That's something else again.

I like being in charge.

Having my own way a bit, you know.

Yes, I notice that.

You reckon you've got me all weighed up, don't you?

Oh, well, that's something else again.

Let's be on, then.

You wait your rush.

Let's sit a while.

I don't feel 18 year older.

Or is it 17?

Not that it matters.

Haven't I lost a year?

Lost a year.

Too far under, aren't I?

Bankruptcy, is it?

Well, I'll have to look into it a bit more, you know.

Tell Crossman for me.

Yes, if you want me to.

I'd be embarrassed to tell him myself.

That's what it is, isn't it?

It's embarrassing.

The, um... The men will be there tomorrow, though, won't they?

Oh, aye, aye.

Oh, they'll be there.

I had to pay them for last week out of my back pocket.

It's routine service.

I'm back for the last half ground.

Aye, I'll get his job done.

Just have them to pay and the...

the materials.

They'll need supervision, though, won't they?

Aye.

I need a bit of guidance, that one.

Help me down there.

I'll have to go down there tomorrow.

Well, I'm... I'm sure Peter will stick to the original contract.

I think you should carry on, yes?

More for the credit, did you mean?

Well, um...

I'll nip in again tomorrow, yes?

Is there anything else I can do?

They'll hand me a couple of quid, that one.

It's electrical.

Faulty leader, a short happened.

It'll take me a couple of hours to find out what's

wrong, even with the equipment and the wiring diagram.

What was the wrong with the olden?

It was old, Grandad.

Can't stick with the old things all the time.

You have to keep moving.

Why?

Because it's either that or slide back.

There's no such thing as standing still.

Who says so?

I do.

Besides... makes work, doesn't it?

Well, it makes enough work to be breaking down, so far as I can see.

You go on after Ethel and Sarah.

I'm going to nip into the village, see if I can find a garage.

Don't leave me on my own with them two overlong.

Go on, you can handle a couple of women, Grandad.

Thinks he's an expert.

I lost count of the lasses he went out with, before there were twenty.

Safety in numbers, he'd say.

Safety.

From what?

Is it marriage he fears?

His father's blood in it?

No rest?

No contentment?

Nothing to last?

Safety.

From what?

So has Maurice been to Corby's?

Yes.

Where are the kids?

They're out in the garden.

With Maurice and Peter.

I told them they could come to me for the teas.

Fine.

Maurice is probably telling Peter the bad news now.

Won't Corby do the job?

Oh, yes, he'll do it.

I meant bad news from Corby's point of view.

I'm sorry if I sounded a bit selfish, but it was me that persuaded Peter to let

Corby do it, and he's got enough on his plate right now with the works in a turmoil.

I suppose Sarah might marry Sam.

Some?

They've been knocking around together for a fair old time.

He'll be out of the frying pan into the fire then, all right.

Maurice reckons it's steady down a lot.

Oh, yes.

Do you think there's someone else?

Well, it's just a matter of time, isn't it?

You know him better than I do.

I could warn you.

I wish for a better fate, that's all.

Your old man wants you.

You mean my lord and master?

Well, tall chap with glasses out there in the garden.

You mean my fancy man.

Pity your little lad couldn't come.

Yes.

It's just no good in cars.

He gets terribly sick.

They grow out of it.

I was pregnant when I came here last.

Were you?

George loved it when I was pregnant.

He watched me all the time.

He'd come in on me and say...

She's on her way to being a doctor now.

She decided, not us.

Not that we could have helped her much anyway.

They grow away from you, don't they?

They don't mean to, I'm sure.

It just happens.

You know, it wasn't until I had had our pat, I knew what

my mum went through, trying to keep my dad in order.

Useless specimen that he was.

Would have been better off without him.

Trying to reassure me because I don't have a father for mine.

Well, there can be more of hindrance than help, you know.

Well, I certainly wouldn't marry just for that.

Has he asked you yet?

Sam?

Heavens no.

What gave you that idea?

Sorry, I shouldn't have asked.

It dates me, don't it?

Thinking that people only go out together when they have a mind to marry.

Wish you would all the same.

That's nice of you to say so.

Why?

Well, you get on, don't you?

Yes, I suppose we do.

We didn't at first.

It was very much against dad.

Politics, I think.

Oh, that.

You take no notice of that.

He gets it from that old devil back there.

No, he'll find his own way in the end, will some.

Jones, what his grandad's dinned into him.

I'm glad you think we get on.

I mean, I'm glad it shows.

Well, you like him, don't you?

Yes, I like him.

Yeah, I like George.

It's not every woman likes her husband, you know.

Romance is overrated, don't you think?

It's better read about than lived with.

He's coming back.

Trouble is, when you find out what's good for you, it can be too late, can't it?

What if they can't find what's up with you?

Oh, for God's sake, stop worrying, grandad.

Of course I'm bloody worried.

If we can't get home, where do I sleep?

I shall find you somewhere to sleep.

A nice cosy edge bottom somewhere, eh?

You can laugh.

Can I?

It's easy to see you've never had no trouble with your Jones.

Look, there's a hotel back there I've stayed at before.

If we get in trouble, I'll fix us up there.

I've already asked them, all right?

Bloody hotels.

All right, then.

Hotel for us, edge bottom for you.

I bet you've never stayed in a hotel, have you, grandad?

I've slept in my own bed all my life.

All my life.

What are you looking at me like that for?

Nothing, grandad.

Hotels.

Bloody hotels.

Nobody gives me due warning.

Nobody, Tom.

What's wrong with grandad?

He likes his own bed.

If we're to stay, I'd better ring Cassie about Tom.

The chap at the garage said he'd work till nine if he thought he could repair it.

He's sent for a part.

I'll go up there later and check with him.

You can ring then.

Aren't you going to paddle?

No, thanks.

You should have brought your bucket and spade.

Just like it, quiet.

That a hint?

No, no, of course not.

Got one of those moods on today.

That's all right.

You don't have to try hard with me.

You know that, don't you?

Eh?

Ah, go and finish the story of your life, as seen by Ethel.

She's been telling me about the first time you came here.

I've been here three times now.

And every time I've come here, I've found a missing piece.

It's like doing a jigsaw.

Don't get too far into that mood.

You might get stuck.

Deakin.

Deakin.

Deakin.

She was me mum.

Didn't think of her as a woman.

Deakin.

I think perhaps I'd better take him back with me then.

You'll be all right with me until they come, won't you?

Will you tell them that he'll be at Jesse's?

We'll probably be out.

Come on.

I hope you're right.

I'm sorry I let you down.

All that job for your husband.

You put a word in for me, didn't you?

Well, he understands.

Does he?

Could happen to anybody, he says.

Your dad was a generous man.

Yeah.

We never paid you all that back rent, did we?

Not pay one of the men a week's work and all that.

It's all forgotten.

See, I had to help him by stealth.

He'd not take it from others.

No.

Plenty I took from him, though.

And in less need.

Yes.

He was one of the few chaps I've known that put his money where his mouth was.

Put his heart where his head should have been, too, didn't he, Mr. Corby?

You think so?

Oh, he didn't think so.

He thought he had it all under control.

Pity he didn't have something else under control.

His five kids paid a price for his principles.

I never thought I'd hear a thing like that from you.

Well, he was a good man, but he was better than he could afford to be.

So somebody else had to pay.

How did you end up there?

I suppose you think I didn't care about him because I talked like that,

but it's because I cared that I get so mad at

the waste of him and his life and the rest of us.

You helped a lot of people, Gassie.

Well, charity begins at home.

Come on.

I don't just mean money.

No, and I don't just mean money, either.

It'll not happen to me, Mr. Corby.

I shall not put my heart where my head ought to be.

Hey, hadn't somebody better give him a hand with that?

Him, him.

If she's the cat's mother, who's him?

Well, cat's father on that reckoning.

I'll see to it, Grandad.

Then I'll not be beat by a flaming chair.

How's that?

Handle like an expert.

Cat's father, eh?

Hey, you gonna leave your coat for the fishes, then?

I'll get it.

I'll put it on.

I don't mind carrying it.

I'll put it on, I'll put it on.

Here, let me help you.

Dad's beginning to feel the cold.

He's finished up in bed once or twice with going out without his coat on.

Where's it get him?

His back, mostly.

That's right, that's where it gets me.

Well, you've got someone in common, then, me and your dad.

Not very much, I gather.

No, not so much.

Not so much in common.

Well, you both went down the pit from school, you have that.

Aye.

Do you want Sam to go down the pit?

No.

Then why do you blame Dad for getting out of it?

He joined the opposition, he learned their tricks and he played them back or not.

It's not getting out of the pit I blame him for.

Had he a choice, the way things were.

I'd not have played it that way.

Oh, you're different, are you?

Papa and I were brought up different.

We could blame the almighty, I suppose.

They do say it's him that chooses the sheets we're born between.

That's not the answer I expected.

No, it's not the answer you'd have got if you'd have been a young upstart like John.

Instead of a pretty young woman.

What are we waiting for?

Shouldn't we be off?

Oh, we've got to wait for the babysitter, haven't we?

Oh, yes, of course.

It's not one of your days, is it?

No, it's not one of my days.

It's not one of yours either, is it?

What's that?

Just a drop of bicarb.

We're going out, are we?

Why didn't you say you didn't feel like it?

Well, I will when we get there.

Just a mild precaution.

Where's Tom?

Next door, upstairs.

Next door?

Oh, yeah, do this for me, will you?

Oh, blimey!

No, no!

Was Corby very drunk?

Oh, he was well on the way to it.

Did you tell Morris to warn Sarah?

Yes, yes, I told him.

Poor devil.

Oh, Corby?

Yeah, so you said before.

You don't have much sympathy for him, do you?

He was an ordinary working man, like my dad.

He even went to school with my dad.

Look at the difference.

Looked after himself, did Corby?

You know, I've heard you say that your father should have been a doctor.

He should have spent more time on you and the rest

of the kids than there's on other people, haven't I?

Well?

Well, have you now, Cassie?

Well, he's a happy medium, isn't there?

In this world?

You know, you're like Sam, as far as I know him.

Sam?

Yeah, I've seen it in his expression sometimes in the works.

He's caught in a situation between the management

and the men and nobody's ready to compromise.

He said what he was really thinking.

He'd say a plague on both your damned houses.

It's an uncomfortable way to live, Cassie.

There's no book of rules.

There's lads of my generation that never saw the sea.

He'll bring his own kids here as a matter of course.

Look at them.

Slacked off a bit, that's all.

Once in life, I let things rest.

And what happened?

What happened?

A bloody jackal smoked in.

A bloody jackal smoked in.

A bloody jackal smoked in.

Grandad finished his suit, yeah?

He likes to take his time.

He's an old man.

Old?

Grandad?

He'll never be old him.

That's more like it.

What?

He smiled.

I'm sorry.

I'll bring you for a day out and have you in a misery.

That's what friends are for, isn't it?

To live with through the bad times.

The car will be ready in half an hour.

Good, I'll not bother ringing Dad then.

I'd like to know what they cook their chips in here.

I'll go and talk to Grandad.

She seems to have won him over anyway.

Old misery guts in there.

You're a fair imitation of him yourself today, aren't you?

Chip off the old block.

I like her.

I've enjoyed being with her.

Good.

I'll say no more.

Let us know when you're ready.

Deakin.

Deakin.

I know Deakin.

She hates me, doesn't she?

Why?

It comes from thee.

Not from me.

All is from thee.

I tried to be right with thee for her sake.

You came here to whip me, didn't you?

Aye, I did.

Well, come on and bloody whip me then.

It's gone out of me what I felt in train coming here.

It's gone out of me.

I care neither one way nor the other now about thee.

Except for one thing.

She'd turn in her grave if she could see us now.

She cared nought for thee.

You know nought.

You're a lad.

I know.

You can rant at me as you like.

It's in me mind.

I live it every day of me life.

She was me mam.

I thought nobody could have more right to grieve for her than me.

She tells me we can go home.

Aye.

You'll sleep in your own bed tonight, Grandad.

Take the roof over your bloody head.

Lifetime's bloody work.

I've never done that.

Ever.

Ever.

Oh God.

Start again.

Say it.

She'll be back for now.

Sarah.

It's not...

It's not too late.

Start again.

I'll show you.

I'll show you.

Start again.

Sarah.

I'll show you.

Start again.

First thing in the morning.

Make a fresh start.

First thing in the morning.

Shave.

First thing in the morning.

Like always.

Make a fresh start.

I'm coming.

Wake up.

I'm coming.

Wake up.
