After I walk,
I go to school.

Not today.

It's half term,
remember?

Half term.
Mm.

You're going camping
with your dad

in two sleeps' time.

But not today.

No. Today's
a Manchester day.

We'll do something good,
I promise.

I just need to talk
to Rebecca, yeah?

Okay.

[Mobile vibrating]

Hi. It's me.

I was just calling to see
if you got the books

I sent you yesterday.

Yeah, I got them,
and the ones before that.

Well, I put Post-It notes

in the stuff
I thought was useful.

This is you letting me take
my own way, is it?

Sorry, mum.
I've got to go.

[Beep]

[Mobile thuds]

[Sighs]

[Indistinct conversations]

Right.

[Mobile chimes]

Hmm.

Come on.

Alright, Mark.

Is my dad here?

Be careful.

[Chain saw revving]

[Revving continues]

[Chain saw turns off]Eddie: I've got some news.

Good news.

And I want you to bethe first to know.

[Sighs]

Will this take long?

'Cause if it rains againon that trunk,

I'll be bucking it for days.[Scoffs]

I've always wanted
to do this.

[Pen clicks]

[Indistinct conversations]

What?

I've had an offer.

For the brewery.

From a company
based in London.

That's the opening bid.

We're having, uh...

exploratory talks.

Ha.

Now I know why you wanted meto put that chain saw down.

[Chuckling] I know.
I can't believe it either.

And there's a job for me
in London, if I accept.

Not that anything's
been decided,

but if I do sell,
I'll see you and Louise right.

I just wanted
to talk to you first.

What do you
want me to say?

How about, "Well done"?

How about...

"It's not yours to sell"?!

Is that it?!

[Chain saw revving]

Dad!

Dad!

Take that visor off,would you?

It's like trying to negotiatewith Darth Vader.

There's nothing to negotiate,
'cause you're not doing it.

You gave it to me.
I made good on it.

If you wanted to controlwhat I did with it,

it wasn't a gift at all.

So, if I gave youyour dead mother's wedding ring,

would you sell that, too?

I haven't decided
to sell yet!

I told you,we're in exploratory talks!

You keep saying that
like it means something.

"Exploratory talks,"
"artisan bread,"

"rustic furniture"!Do you know what?!

It's not the visor.You
areDarth Vader.

You begged meto take that place on!

Because I thought
you understood it like I did!

I spent my life
building up that brewery.

Inever sold out.

No, you didn't.

Remind me when it wasyou were made

a seven-figure offerfor the brewery.

Nobody ever made me an offer
because they knew what I'd say!

[Scoffs] Oh.
Oh, well.

We'll have to take your wordfor your imaginary response

to this imaginary offer.

Success doesn't suit you.
You know?

No! Mysuccess
doesn't suit you!

That's what this
is really about!

[Chain saw sputtering]

You know, if you ever wantto swap children for a while,

I'm open to offersfor a stroppy 11-year-old.[Chuckles]

I've raised a daughter already,
thank you.
Oh.

And she's dropped out of Uni
to have a baby,

and she keeps
hanging up on me,

so you might want to think
about that offer.

Stop doing that.

You're a brilliant mum.

You still haven't filled inmy dating questionnaire.

Yeah.

I've just been busy.

How about we all go outsomewhere -- you, me, and Joe?

Lyme Park?

Peak District?

Arndale Centre?

Not a date,
just two mates.

Yeah, that sounds nice.

Tomorrow?

I'm seeing Paul later.

Let me just talk to him
and see what he thinks.

Oh, no. He can't come. I haven'tgot room in the van for him.

It's just, if you're gonna be
spending time with Joe,

I think it's important
I ask him.

I was joking.

[Laughs]I know what you meant.

I knew you were joking.

I mean, a tough crowd.

♪

So, I was thinking, um,that corner for the dining tent

and that will still leaveroom for the emergencygazebo next to it.

Where would we be
without an emergency gazebo?

Well, nobody wants dumb childrenon the loose.

Thought we were gonna
let the kids dig a hole

and let nature
take its course.

Well, yeah, but, um,my son and nature

are not the best of friends,sadly.

That's why I set up
the group.

I'm only messing.

Hopefully it won't get
too Glastonbury

after one night's
camping.

Well, you found
a brilliant spot here.

Joe's going to
absolutely love it.

Aww, good.

Can't be easy only having himat weekends.

Oh...it works.

You know?

Hmm.

Well, here'sto the awesome outdoors.

[Chuckles]
Indeed.

That's the name
of our group.
Right.

As we get back
in touch with

the rough and tumbleof the natural world.

I've got the vegetarianoptions covered,

and I'm, uh...bringing a sneaky Prosecco.

Oh.

Joe's more of a Guinness man,
if I'm being honest.

[Both laugh][Mobile chimes]

Hold that thought,
Sarah.

Ah, shit.

Got to dash.

It all looks great,
Sarah.

[Chuckles]

Sorry.
Sorry I'm late.

I forgot we were
doing this.

I was in a field
with a chemical toilet and --

It's fine.
Come in.

Printed agenda, eh?

Alright.

I thought if we're gonna do thisonce a fortnight...

But it -- it helps me, at least,to have it written down.

Yeah, no.

Good idea.

[Sniffs]
Um...

I sent Rebecca
some of my old pregnancy books.

Do you know
if she started reading them?

Maybe.

She hasn't played the DVD yet,or filled out the birth plan.

She doesn't answer
when I ask her,

so I just thought
you might know.

Um...

I've got
an essay deadline.

So I was wonderingif you would be able to have Joe

for an extra night
next month.

I've put the date down.

Yep. Yeah, yeah.
Thanks.

And...

how has he seemed to you
the last few weeks?

Better.
Yeah.

I think he's looking forwardto the camping.

Yeah, I'm sure he is.
Yeah.

There's something else.

The bloke that came
to Dad's with me,

that gave me a lift --

Ben.
Yeah. Yeah.

I remember Ben.

Yeah, um...
he is asking if me and Joe

would like to go out
for the day.

Do you think
he's alright?

What are you
asking me for?

'Cause it involves Joe,
so it involves you.

It's not like he's gonnamove in, you know, is it?

No.

I don't want to bring someone
into Joe's life

without asking you first,

and I would want
the same from you.

He seems like
a nice bloke.

Thanks for...
letting me know.

Alright, Chief!

[Chuckling] Hey!

Ooh!

What are you reading?

What are you reading?

"Sometimes when a man and woman
like each other,

they might kiss
because they both want to,

and it feels nice."

Is this
yours or your mum's?

Don't worry about that.

Ralph's still out with Katie,so we're gonna have to be quick,

but that doesn't
seem to worry you.

I can't concentrate.

At the risk of promptingone of your terrible jokes,

you might want to come at thisfrom a different angle.

Eddie's to sell.

Hang on a minute --And actuallylistening to him.

Ralph.

Here you go.You forgot your sandwiches.

No, I didn't.

He, uh...forgot his sandwiches.

No, I didn't.

You talk.
I'll listen.

Hey, uh, um...
it's still chucking it down.

Um, you haven't

a ring when you can.

Alright, bye.

Oh, you got ready.
That's good.

Um...

Right.

See these awards?

I didn't give them
to myself.

This brewery won them,

and they got us
in the supermarkets.

They do mean something.

I'll get the Brasso out

and give them a polish,if you like.

I thought you were
here to listen.

Sorry.

Right.

Go on.

I've built the brand,
and now it's worth a few bob.

So if I do sell,
I won't be wrecking this place

or shitting
on the community.

I'll be securing
its future.

And that includes Ralph,does it?

You get some London spivin here,

and he'll be first
out the door.

I'm way ahead of you.

The first thing I did was
make sure Ralph's protected

for as long as
he wants the job.

Oh, so, you sold him,

with the fixtures
and fittings, eh?

I thought slavery
had been abolished.

I've done what needed doing
to give this place a future.

And the people I'm selling to
are proper brewers.

They're not some bunch
of city bankers

with a craft-beer fetish.

They're still from London.

I saw a pug in a waistcoatin London,

and that didn't impress me,either.

This is you listening,
is it?
Yes!

And I still think
you're wrong!

You didn't listen.
You heard me out.

That's not
the same thing.

[Knock on door]

Ralph?

Is this about my wedding?
Best man?

No. No, son.

We're not arguing aboutwho's gonna be your best man.No.

No pressure at all for you

Whoever you choose,
fine by me.

Me, too.

Me, too.

Although, just to be clear,if it was me,

it would be an honor.

It would be an honor
for me, too.

[Snorts]

I will let you know.

[Door closes]

Do you know what, Dad?

You've done me a favor.

All I wanted to do
was talk it through with you,

but you've made
my mind up for me.

I'm selling.

I'm moving to London.

Thank you.

[Knock on door]

[Chuckling]
Oh, God!

I thought we could still havethe picnic, at least.

[Laughs]

Well, I know
just the place.

[Chuckling]
Oh, Ben.

Ah!

I call it
"Ancoats Aquarium."

It's great.

Yeah.

Where's Joe?

Oh, he went back
to his room.

He's, uh...He's a bit disappointed.

He doesn't respond well
to cajoling.

Like his mum.

Why are you smiling?

I thought you'd fallenat the first fence.

if the man who invented fire

and he decided to share the firewith his son,

but his son just poured
a bucket of water over it

Is this a parable?

Dad!
What?

Or what if the father gave hisson one of these sticks of fire,

the fire stronger,

the son just chucked

I'm surprised by all of this,
to be honest.

Did you want to come infor a tea or a coffee?

That would be nice.

That wasn't a euphemism for sex,by the way.

Okay.

I'd still like a coffee.

[Both chuckle]

Not that I'm ruling sex outat some time in the future.

Great.

I'll bear that in mind.

With you...

I mean.

Even better.

[Laughs]

Alison?
Yeah?

I'm just as nervous
as you.

[Sighs]
I doubt that.

I like you a lot,
and I don't want to mess it up.

Not this early,
at any rate.

[Laughs]

I mean...

Hi, Mom.
Sorry if you're busy.

I just wondered
if we could talk.

Yes.

Yeah. Sure.

Yeah.

[Clears throat]

Night, Rebecca.

Night, Ben.

[Water lapping]

Bill: I can feel
the world turning.

Ramesh: I think that's
highly unlikely.

Eddie: I know what
he means, though.

Something aboutlying down on the ground.

I know what he means, too,
but he's not right.

Well, two people
can feel

two different ways
about something.

It doesn't meanthat only one of them's right.

It's science,
Mr. Joe's Uncle.

It's objectively true.

I think you're both experiencinga praxic hallucination.

Just call me Eddie.

What do you think, Joe?What can you feel?

I can feel sleep.

And so say
all of us.

[Lamp clicks]

G'night, John Boy.

If I'd known you were coming,
I bought have got some,
um...Elderflower Juice.

I've probably got some ribena
here somewhere.Mum, Mum, it's fine.

Or to interrupt your love life,for that matter.

Look, the evening was over.

It wasn't going anywhere else,
believe --

Okay. Enough.

Why did you send me
the books?

I know they're a bit
out of date,

but they helped me,
and it's a least a bit

less scattergun
than the Internet.

I don't mean, "Why did you thinkthey'd be useful?"

Why did you send themwhen you told me

you were gonna keep
your distance?

Sorry.

I'm sorry.
I couldn't resist.

Was it too much?
I'll back off.

I'll back off.
W-Why?

Why...

Why what?

I ex-- I explained
that I-I-I didn't want to be

my usual
controlling self.

To help youor to help me?

You. I'm doing it for you.
Y-- You know that.

I don't buy that.
You see, mum?

I've been thinking
about it a lot,

and I-I don't buy itfor a minute.

Rebecca, I love you.
I-I'd love --

I'd love to be more involved,
if that's what you want.

I just...

I'm just not sure that
it is something --

I think you're keepingyour distance

because you don't approve,

because you thinkI'm making a mistake.

It isn't that.
It really isn't that.

But I'm right, aren't I?

You do think
this is a mistake

for me to have a babythis early.

Without a partner to help,
yes, I do.

Thank you.

Because I know
it will be difficult,

because I did it myself.

With me.
Yeah, with you.

Who you regret.

No! Never! No!

I don't want you
to ever think that!

I'm not doing this
because youdid it.
I know.

But can you blame me for
wondering why you're doing it?

I'm thinking it might be
because of what happened

with me and Paul.

Oh, right!

I'm -- I'm having a baby

because I'm upsetyou and dad got divorced!

No, not as cut-and-dried
as that. Because of Joe.

Oh, I'm having a babybecause of Joe?!

This gets better and better![Sighs]

You have an autistic brother
and your family is all broken.

Isn't it possible that,
on some level,

you're trying to create
a new family for him?

What?!

'Cause I'll end up lookingafter Joe one day,

so I might as well bang outa couple of babies

so I've got something to doin the quiet times?!Oh, but you kn--

You know I don't mean it
like that!

Come on!
Just tell meyou're ashamed of me.

I could never be ashamed of you!
Come on!

Look, I do think that you're
making your life harder, right,

by having a baby at your age
on your own.

But if you think for one second
that means I don't support --

Look, I would never,
ever abandon you.

Right.

Well,that's very generous of you.

Oh, come on.

I'll sleep in
Joe's room.

I'm sure they'll let you comeand have a look around.

For a small fee.

Hmm.

Just out of interest...

what kind of son
didyou want?

You don't get to choose.

Yeah.

But if you could choose.

'Cause I know I can't give youwhat you want.

I can never be that son.

Maybe what you mean is, I --I can never be the dad you want.

[Scoffs]

I just look around at everythingI've achieved here,

and I look at
how hard I worked.

And not even a pat
on the back.

Christ's sake, not this again.
I've -- I've explained.

No. You haven't.

What?

This.

Built it up.

I don't know how you've done it
and that bothers me.

I don't get it.

You don't get it
or me?

Both.

I remember
when you were a kid.

I could help you in Maths
until you were 10 year old

and then you lost me.

I couldn't help you.

You were a bright kid,
and I was proud of you,

but you weren't interested
in the things I was

and I wasn't interested
in the things you were,

and that's natural.

You grew up
and we were different.

So why did you get meback here?

Doing this?

Because I thought it'd bring us
closer together,

and it did for a bit.

You should never havegiven it to me

if you didn't want meto change it.

No.

Fair enough.

It's not easy being your son,you know.

I'm sorry your mum died.

So am I.

She could give you
what I...can't.

As far as she was concerned,

everything either
of her children did

was absolutely wonderful.

[Chuckles]

Yeah.

And I'm not built
like that.

You don't say.
Mm.

But, uh...
we were a good team.

You know, she told you
you were brilliant,

and I kept your feet
on the ground,

made sure you didn't get
too big-headed.

Yes.

You were good at that.Oh, for Christ's sake, Eddie!

I'm sorry you don't think
I'm proud of you,

because I am.

And what you've done with this
place is brilliant,

but I just don't want you
to sell it.

You've said that --several times, several ways.

I don't want you to sell it
'cause I don't want you to go.

I like having you here.

Alright?

Why couldn't you
have said that?

'Cause I don't want
to hold you back, either.

Right.

Well, I see.

You won't.

You haven't.
