SEAGULLS CALL, BOAT HORN BLARES

Oh, no. No, no, no.

Come on, let's go. Come on!

Come on!

Come on! Come on! HE BANGS CONSOLE

ENGINE CHUGS

ENGINE STOPS

Josh? Josh?!

Hey, Josh. Oh, God, Josh!

JOSH!

SEAGULLS CALL

JOSH!

MAN: Ed!

You all right?

Yeah, fine, fine.

Let's, er... Let's get it in.

I can't believe you wanna do this.

You're making me feel worried now.

I'm sure it's gonna be fine!

SHE CHUCKLES

What?

They're gonna love you.

Even your dad?

He'll be out on the boat. I'm saving him for later.

Anything I should avoid?

Any dark family secrets?

Like what? I dunno.

Every family has them, don't they? SHE CHUCKLES

Let's do this.

DISTANT BOAT HORN

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I know it's all about price, but it's not the point, innit?

What's going on? Been undercut by the Pendricks.

What do you mean?

Selling to everyone in town now. HE SIGHS

Restaurants no longer want our fish.

Well, we're barely breaking even.

Sod this. Hey!

Let me make a few more calls, eh?

This is going to ruin us, Bob.

Mum, wait! I wish you'd warned me.

You look great. Pfft!

He was dropping me home when I asked if he wanted to meet you.

And he said yes? I tried to warn him.

I thought you'd only just met.

It's four months tomorrow.

And he knows your plans for Australia?

If I don't get the grant, I haven't got any plans.

You've still not heard anything? Only from the university.

They said if I don't confirm by the end of the week,

they'll withdraw the offer.

I've spoken to your dad. You two have done enough.

Nan's got some savings. Yeah. You'll need those.

I'll be fine.

I can see why you've not been home much.

Oh, Mum! THEY LAUGH

Abbie says you've lived here most of your life.

Yes. And then they came...

..to look after me.

Lock me in, more like.

HE CHUCKLES And you?

Are you... Are you moving in as well?

ABBIE: Ryan!

Shall we? I don't understand what's going on.

Oh, come on, let's go see Abbie.

I've got something to show you.

Whew!

HE CHUCKLES

Did you draw these?

Mm-hm. When I was a kid.

Dad even had some of them framed.

I remember seeing these on the beach.

There's so many of them now.

Simply because there's less fish eating them.

I know. You told me.

HE CHUCKLES

Did I tell you that they don't have a brain?

HE LAUGHS Is that so?

But they're still unbelievable predators.

Gosh, she doesn't let many people in here, you know?

I'm honoured. THEY CHUCKLE

Is this the boat your dad served on?

BOTH: It's a ship.

Ah. THEY LAUGH

And this must be Josh.

With Abbie. His tenth birthday.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

SEAGULLS CALL

They're gonna force us out of business...

BOB STRAINS

..buy our boat on the cheap, get our quota.

Hi, Dad! Bob. Abbie.

Coming out, Abs? Seems like you've already been.

Well, we always catch more with you on board.

Why is it still here?

Dad? We've, er...

We lost the restaurants, the supply contracts.

All of them? Mm. Are you joking?

What are you gonna do?

Well, I dunno. I was thinking maybe, er, Australia.

HE CHUCKLES Could do an MA in marine biology.

How'd you get on? Let's put it like this.

There was quite a few that got away.

THEY LAUGH

Have you told him about Ryan? Who's Ryan?

Well... Abigail's new boyfriend.

Mr Collier.

Smells of fish. SHE LAUGHS

THEY LAUGH

"Smells of fish"?

Oh, he's just nervous. Behave.

Oh, not another word. Cub's honour.

Abs. Hi!

Where's lover boy, then? Pissed off already? Cheeky cow.

You met him yet, Ed?

He's right up your street.

Here he is. All right, Ry?

Any chance of a table? Sure.

Ryan was in the army.

Technically, you should address me as "Major", but...

THEY CHUCKLE And, er, you were in the navy?

Yeah, I saw the photo of the boat you served on.

Oh, er, sorry. Er, ship. What rank?

I left before I got promotion. Ah.

So, you live in a hotel?

Until I find somewhere local.

The company's paying, not me.

Over a grand a week.

Could buy a fishing boat with that.

So, where were you brought up? Cardiff, originally. Oh.

When I was a kid, at the end of term,

we would drive to Cerrig Point. Oh.

It was my dad's favourite place. Just down the road from here.

And are your parents still living there? No.

Er... car crash.

M4, coming home one night.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, it's a tragedy.

Gone, but not forgotten.

I guess you guys know all about that.

WHISPERS: Where's the gents'?

Just over there. Excuse me.

Sorry to hear that.

I'll settle up. No, no, no, no, no.

I haven't finished.

Also, Ryan said he was happy to.

No, no. It's all right. I'm getting this.

Let him. Please.

Hey. Hey.

Oh. Oh, bloody hell.

The mark-up on these sea bass.

Will Abs change her plans, do you think?

About us going to Australia?

What, because of him? No. No way.

She's had her heart set on going to Australia

ever since she was a kid, as well you know.

Erm, just put it on the tab.

Sorry, Ed. The boss said you've already gone over.

Er, OK. INDISTINCT CHATTER

Can I have the card? Sure.

SHE SIGHS

BEEP

Oh, no, no. I made it clear, I'm paying for this.

It's all done. No problem.

It's great to finally meet you.

It's pretty clear you don't like me, Ed,

but I've fallen for your daughter,

and I think it's important that we get along.

Don't you?

SEAGULLS CALL

ENGINE CHUGS

Oh, it's just the way he was. I mean, you saw him yourself.

Flash car, flashing his money about.

Oh, you got a free lunch. Why are you complaining?

Well, it's Abbie I'm worried about. If she sees the best in everyone,

they take advantage.

She'll be off soon. It's not gonna last, is it?

What's happening here?

It's caught on something.

That's a knife's done that.

What are we doing here?

Do you like it?

Yes. It's gorgeous.

I've arranged to meet the, er, agent at 12:00.

You can afford this?

Well, if it means you're moving in with me,

be worth every penny.

HE CHUCKLES

Ed... You go on my boat again... That old rust bucket?

Our net got cut. So what?

It's my fucking livelihood!

Maybe it's time you gave up, mate? Hey, hey, hey.

You be careful.

Reckon he's losing the plot again. Leave it.

ABBIE: 'Are you kidding?'

You do know how much a waitress earns, I take it?

When are you going away?

End of summer.

That's nearly six months before your course starts.

We could have all that time here together.

Oh, it's not about going away.

I know your mum relies on you.

It's not her. She's encouraging me. Daddy doesn't approve.

He just wants what's best for me.

And you don't think living here with me...?

It's not about you.

It's about Josh.

MAN: Help! Quick, quick! I need help!

WOMAN: Hold on! Quick!

Is he breathing? OK. He's all right. He's OK.

OK. He's OK.

How long's he been out of the water?

A couple of minutes. What happened?

His boat capsized, and he got pulled under.

Why did you let him out there in the first place?!

I was just calling him in. It's too bloody late!

You've gotta be careful out there. There's undercurrents, riptides.

You know, you-you could've... You could've... Hey.

You could've...

Breathe. Breathe. That's it. Could've...

Ever since Josh died, he's been incredibly protective.

I get it.

But you can't stop living the life you want

because of what happened in the past. I know, but...

And Josh wouldn't want that.

You've gotta do what you feel is right.

HE GROANS

Where's Ed? Oh, he's gone for a walk to cool off.

I heard there were words. HE CHUCKLES

Handbags at dawn.

Ed thinks we were sabotaged. And he blamed the Pendricks?

They've been out to get us for years.

You keep him away from them.

Tell you what.

I'll tie him to the boat. How about that?

No Phyllis today?

With my brother.

Oh. You deserve some time to yourself.

HE SIGHS

I, erm...

I owe you an apology. I got it wrong.

Paramedic reckoned you saved that lad's life.

Come on, Ed.

George... George, please. ED SIGHS

Why have you always thought the worst of me?

Was I never good enough for Abbie? I never said that.

But you lied about me. I saw what I saw.

It was you and that girl. Oh, nothing happened.

George... HE SIGHS

..you and Abbie...

..it's in the past.

She looks happy enough with this new bloke of hers.

Maybe you can ruin that, too.

Have you met Ryan?

Why do you wanna know?

CLAIRE: You always said

you didn't want to make the same mistakes I did.

You met Dad when you were 17.

You gave up going to college.

Think of all the fun you could've had.

Oh, I had fun. CLAIRE CHUCKLES

What about your MA?

If I get the grant, I'm still going. Ryan knows that.

I don't want to ask this...

I'm not pregnant, Mum.

Oh, we always knew this day was coming,

and Ryan seems great.

Dad doesn't think so.

Ryan's convinced he hates him. No, no.

He was just having a bad day.

You know what he's like. Well, it's about time he changed.

Good luck with that.

I've been waiting over 30 years.

Well, apparently, he's done two tours of Afghanistan,

where he got a medal for bravery.

He's got a first-class honours degree,

and he's recently just been promoted to senior area manager

at Ethan Gillespie's. Who are they?

One of the biggest recruitment companies in Europe.

You must think he's Mr Perfect.

Sorry. I keep meaning to change that.

There's just something about him.

Well, I could find out some more if you like.

ABBIE: Oh, hang on. I've got too many cards.

Right, you start.

I did, pickle. Oh, no, my turn. You're right.

Oh, I'll keep that.

OK, but if you keep it, throw another one down. Oh, have I?

Yeah, yeah. I forgot that. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Yes, I'll keep this.

And then you throw one down.

I know! OK. I know.

I'm just slower than you. ABBIE CHUCKLES

Oh, what we celebrating?

Well, do we need an excuse? Here you go, Phyllis. Thank you.

Go on, you pick up. OK. Your turn.

I saw George earlier, you know, on the beach. Mm.

Saved a boy's life.

Hm. You're so transparent, Dad.

HE CHUCKLES

Have I got enough cards? I've only got five. That's OK.

Er, no, you should have seven. Are you not seeing Ryan tonight?

Oh, he's a catch, that fella.

Dad'd throw him back in the sea.

No! No, I wouldn't. PHONE RINGS

It's just... RINGING CONTINUES

I do trust you, you know? Mm.

SHE LAUGHS

Rummy! How about that?

I won't have it.

Come on. You can't beat me.

GEORGE: 'I'm telling you, I've searched and searched.'

No.

No. You must have got it wrong.

I'll send you what I've found.

'If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself.'

You should come with me.

You used to.

HE CHUCKLES Yeah. Mm.

Did Abbie tell you?

Ryan's asked her to move in with him.

Well, she doesn't even know him. We don't even know him.

Well, she knows she loves him.

Ryan Wilson is not who he says he is.

What do you mean? He's changed his name.

This Ryan Wilson didn't exist before 2008.

How do you know he's changed his name?!

It doesn't matter how I know.

What matter is Abbie's been lied to. So have we.

Ryan might have all sorts of reasons.

Could have been to prison. Ed...

Or running away from something.

Or maybe you are. The truth?

Abbie has stayed here longer than she should've done.

Four A*s at A-level?

She was offered a place at Oxford. Well, she wanted to stay close.

Not for her. For us.

I have lost one child. I don't want to lose another one.

You did not lose him, Ed.

He was my son, too.

Look, you're under a lot of pressure at the moment - work, money.

It's not about that. I know you, Ed.

I've seen you like this before.

We need to let Abbie go.

Look, you know that I am happy for Abbie to do what she likes,

but this Ryan...

The more you go in all guns blazing, the more she'll just go to him.

She'll think you're just doing what you did with George.

ABBIE: Mum, Dad!

What's happened?

It's nothing. It's all good.

Dad?

Just give him time.

SEAGULLS CALL

HAMMERING

HAMMERING CONTINUES

Argh! Bloody thing!

Oh! What's happened?

HE SIGHS Come and see for yourself.

Yeah.

Oh, I know.

Can I help you there, love? No, Mum, it's OK. OK.

I'm just happy that she's happy.

Well...

Yeah.

I know.

When she goes away, as I'm sure she will...

Yeah.

Yeah. Well, Ed...

I don't know.

BOB: Argh! Argh!

Saltwater in the diesel. More sabotage.

What, in the tank?

Turn it over again. Been trying for the last half hour.

You said the Pendricks were going out for three days.

I saw them leave!

Just give it another go.

BOB SIGHS, MOTOR WHIRRS

Oh, nothing's happening.

Come on! Come on!

MOTOR WHIRRS, THEN STOPS

Who the hell is doing this to us?

Look... maybe this is God's way of telling us

we need to get a new engine. How much have we got in the account?

Not as much as I'd like.

And we're gonna need what's in there to get us...

If we don't have an engine,

there's no point in us getting through anything.

HE SIGHS

Mum?

Mum?

Where are you?

ED: I'd like to withdraw all of it.

Erm... Oh, great.

Erm, when can I come by and get it?

Oh. That's great.

Well, I'll, erm...

I'll see you shortly.

Yeah, yeah, I was thinking about getting a personal loan.

Oh, it's home improvements.

Yes, I know. And I was thinking of borrowing it

on the... on the value of the house.

Mum?

Stop playing around, Mum.

Er, no, it's owned by my mother-in-law,

but my wife, she has power of attorney,

along with her brother.

Mum?

'Oh.'

Both signatures?

Right, well, I'll get back to you on that, but I'll see you very soon.

Yeah, thank... Yeah, bye. Bye.

Mum!

Mum!

BEEP, DIAL TONE

Abbie... it's Mum.

She's gone missing again.

No. I looked.

You're gonna get me in trouble.

Best offer I've had all day.

WOMAN: Another one, please, Katz. Coming up.

George?

Bloody hell.

Mum?

Mum!

PHONE RINGS

Ooh.

Abbie?

Nan?!

When did you last see her?

We were in the kitchen, just doing some washing.

She wasn't here earlier.

Yeah, it's Ed Collier here. We've got an emergency.

There she is. Oh!

Mum, no! Phyllis! Stop!

Phyllis. Hi. Hey. Hi.

I've got you, Phyllis.

Oh. Can you come with me?

Have I met you before? We have met before.

Ryan? I know that name. Yes, you do.

Mum! Oh, hello.

What did you think you were doing?

Oh, we were worried about you.

PHYLLIS: Oh, darling, how are you? What were you worried about?

Ta.

Thank you.

No problem.

She's all right. She's just having a lie down.

ABBIE SIGHS She said you came to the house.

No, I was on my way here

when I saw Phyllis by the containers.

She said she was looking for Josh.

Well, she's done it before but not for a long while.

So, you were just passing?

Well, now that I've found a house,

I thought I'd have more of a look around.

But you've been here before. With your dad.

First time I've been here was when I met Abbie.

But you told us that your dad took you to Cerrig Point.

It's not very far away from here. Ed...

I'm just interested. Just getting to know the guy.

You don't mind, do you, Ryan? Sounds like you're interrogating.

It's fine. What do you wanna know? Well...

..why did you change your name when you were 18? Dad!

What you asking him that for?

Just...

His...

His parents didn't die in a car crash.

Erm...

..my dad died when I was young.

I barely remember him.

My mother...

..she couldn't handle it.

And... well, me...

She killed herself.

I am so sorry, Ryan.

When I was 18, I decided I needed a fresh start.

Oh, well, that must have been very, er, difficult.

CLEARS HIS THROAT

Abbie was also looking for a fresh start.

When you left... Australia.

Now, I know that you're waiting for this grant,

so, er... I thought that this might help.

Where did you get that from? It's from the bank.

It's money that I put aside for the boat.

Now... I want you to have it.

You can just buy it all now and go.

I'm not going.

Ryan and I have made plans.

Australia's on hold.

It's what I want.

I know you don't like him.

You have all these opportunities.

I've not lost anything, Dad.

Ryan just has to stay in his job for another year,

and then we'll go out together.

Just give him a chance.

I've gotta get ready for work.

Abbie...

..does this mean we'll finally get our dining room back?

Thank you.

I can easily drop you off at the hotel. No, no.

You need to get back.

I've booked a taxi.

Let's go out tonight. Let's celebrate.

I can't tonight - work.

I could come later. I think it's gonna be a late one. Sorry.

I'll call you.

Bye. CLAIRE: Bye, love.

Another coffee, Ryan?

Er, no, thanks. I've gotta make a few calls.

Are you all right?

I'm fine. Fine.

You know, you can do that in here.

How did you know I'd changed my name?

Abbie's been lied to before.

Not by me.

Hi. I'm free tonight.

'Any time. Whatever works for you.'

Great. I'll pick you up.

I can't wait to see you.

Hi, mate.

SEAGULLS CALL

Did you get the bank? Yeah, yeah.

Hey.

Is this it?

It doesn't look like enough.

I emptied the account.

Right. HE SIGHS

I'll make up the difference. You can pay me back sometime.

Yeah. Erm, I'll need to use your van. Have you got your keys there?

HORN

PHONE BEEPS

She used to wait for you to come home.

All night, just waiting.

And then by the time you hit the top of the stairs...

..she'd be fast asleep.

SEAGULLS CALL

HE MOANS

HE SIGHS

Lovely. Oh, that's lovely.

Oh, yes.

Sleep all right? Yeah, not bad.

Is Abbie up yet?

Early bird catches the worm.

Ryan came over and picked her up.

Do you remember when she was a little girl

and she wanted to be a fisherman like her father?

Do you remember? And I told her that she was mad?

Ouch. Sorry.

Now, we're all going out to lunch to celebrate.

You said you weren't coming.

I know it's hard that she's going to live with Ryan,

but you have to accept the decision she's made.

Excuse me. Would you go upstairs and put a collar and tie on?

Look at the state of you. You're a disgrace.

We're all getting changed.

And you, by the way, what are you wearing?

That thing you've on? Nothing, Mum.

What are you wearing? I'm going to go naked (!)

You're not going to go naked. Stop being silly.

What are you going to wear? You're putting on weight recently.

Oh, really, Mum? I wonder why that is.

Because you're eating too much. Because I can't go swimming,

because I'm looking after you, Mum.

ED: I'm surprised your mum didn't wanna come.

CLAIRE: You know what she's like.

Besides, you'd be better off with my brother.

I'll be there in a minute. OK.

Mum.

Congratulations. Thank you. Thanks.

That's your seat.

OK, thank you.

Oh, this is nice. Mm.

Have you been here before?

Last time I was here, we had some scallops.

CONVERSATION FADES

I'm sure you are.

What's he up to?

INDISTINCT

I don't know. But I think we're about to find out.

I followed you last night, Ryan.

Why would you follow Ryan?

This is Station Road. It's a red-light district.

I knew from the moment I saw you that there was something wrong.

Something deeply fucking wrong!

This has nothing to do... It has everything to do with him.

And you believe I could do that?

Are you saying that's not you? Yeah, it is me.

We'll, who are you with, then, Ryan?

Sergeant Rebecca Slater.

Last tour of Helmand, Becks saved my life.

HE LAUGHS INCREDULOUSLY

When I found out that she was working the streets,

I thought it was about time that I saved hers.

I saw you offer her money. I put her in a hotel.

I called her brother, some of the regiment.

I heard you on the phone at our house.

I don't know what you think you heard, Ed,

but all I was trying to do was help someone in need.

What do you want? You want me to show you photographs

of me and Becs in Afghanistan? Huh?

You really think I could do something like that?

I mean, come on.

I told you he doesn't like me, no matter what I do.

Ryan. No, Ryan. No. Don't...

Wait, Ryan. No.

Just talk to me.

How could you?

I know what I saw. Enough!

You've completely humiliated her.

Abbie!

RINGING CONTINUES

BEEP, RINGING STOPS

CREAKING

Claire's worried about you.

This was left here as well last night.

That's you in the navy. Someone's pushing your buttons.

It's like he's got PTSD or something.

Ryan's medal seems to be missing.

You took it, didn't you?

They're taking you to court.

Someone must have been spying on me... tracking me.
