Original subtitles

Can I come in yet?

Two secs.

-Now? -Wait.

Okay. Go on then.

-What do you think? -It's nice.

Check this out.

Light off. Light on.

Light off. Light on. Light off.

Mum...

can we afford all this?

Oh, darling, please.

-But can we? -Yes.

Don't worry about it.

Because of Elliot's money.

No, because of my money

that he pays me for working for him.

I'm just checking.

I know.

I know, buddy.

You know Elliot has a total of 16 cars?

Lucky him, eh?

He said I could work on one with him.

Yeah, well, Elliot's a very busy man.

Maybe even a couple.

Li.

-What? -Take it easy.

Let's not push our luck.

He likes me.

Ginger, no!

Oh.

I'll make sure of it. Thank you.

See you there.

Hello.

He tried to eat my hamster.

Sorry, we're gonna have to give her back.

Oh. Alright.

You'll take good care of her, won't you?

-Of course I will. -Elliot, we're going to be late.

-One minutes. -I don't wanna keep you.

Oh, you're fine.

I'll still get to see her?

Anytime, Liam.

We're not really used

to people giving us stuff like this.

-I hope I didn't offend. -No, no.

Well, I'm not standing here handing

that massive telly back, am I?

Anyway, we better be getting on.

Come on.

Rachel.

-You won't be required tomorrow. -Oh.

But it will be double hours on Saturday.

How come?

Elliot's hosting a charity cocktail party on Friday night.

Right.

Where's your boy?

Playing in the garden, I think.

I hope.

Oh?

Do you have kids?

Career woman.

No.

I just didn't.

How old is he? Liam?

11.

You must have been young when you had him.

Is that a compliment?

It can't be easy doing it on your own.

I'm pretty sure I couldn't do it.

I'm sure you'd manage.

You just find a way.

Do you get financial help from his father?

Yeah. Rolling in it, me.

But he does see him?

No, not since Liam was six weeks old.

Where is he?

I couldn't tell you.

Well, that's a shame.

For Liam.

We're fine.

We do just fine.

Of course.

I'll be in my office if you need me.

-Oh, she's a knob. -Correct.

I think my theory's right about him, you know, though?

No fella just gives a woman a great job, a telly,

and a puppy.

-A kitten. -Whatever.

We had to give it back anyway.

-The telly? -Are you mad?

-No. The kitten. -How come?

A long story to do with Liam's hamster.

Anyway, he's not interested in me.

He pities me.

Oh, shut up.

Jas, he's a multi- millionaire.

He can have whoever he wants.

His ex-wife looked like a supermodel,

legs up to her armpits.

Well, that's not attractive.

Why would someone like that be interested in me?

Because you are fucking hot.

I mean it. Shut up.

I mean it. Oy, look at me. Look at me.

You are stunning.

Ugh, why do you always do this?!

-What? -Sabotage.

Oh, please, there's nothing to sabotage.

You see?

That's where you are going wrong.

You need to get in there and show him

just how grateful you are,

and that the feeling is mutual.

Ah, right.

Mm.

Come on.

-What? -Come on.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Come on and dance with me.

Mum, I left my rucksack at Elliot's.

Alright. Alright. You're okay.

I need it. It's got my stuff in it.

My pens, my books, my headphones.

Darling, you don't need it right now, okay?

An exciting interview coming up later

with a rising star in the music industry...

Alright.

We'll go back. We'll get it later.

We'll be getting an exclusive sneak peek

of her latest single.

But before we get all that,

let's get you all bopping along at work, in your car,

wherever you are, with a new hit single.

Right, we need to be quick. Yeah?

We're not supposed to be here today.

Any ideas?

I think I might have left it in the garage.

Right, you go check it out. I'll look in here.

Are you kidding me?

-Not funny. -You're a pervert.

Will you shut up? Liam will hear you!

Either that or he totally did it on purpose.

-No. -Oh, my God.

He was absolutely giving you a preview of the goods.

I wasn't even supposed to be at the house.

No, he had no idea I was there.

Sure, sure, sure.

Well, if that's the case,

then it's probably sexual harassment.

Oh, give over. He was naked in his own house.

If you copped an eye full,

then you're a lucky girl, aren't you?

Did you, like, miss the whole Me Too thing?

Oh.

No. It's okay. I'm done.

How are you?

I'm good.

How are you?

I'm good.

-Elliot. -How you doing?

I have a bit of time before my next work call.

How do you fancy helping me finish that gearbox

on the Vauxhall Astra?

Yeah.

Oh, hang on.

-What? -What?

Elliot is not here to entertain you.

It's okay. I offered.

You worked on gearbox before?

No.

It'll be fun.

And I've been looking into the VW Beetle.

Yeah?

It was in production for 65 years.

Yeah. It's the longest any car's ever been produced.

It was commissioned by Hitler.

Yes and designed by Erwin Komenda.

Yeah.

Normally nobody knows this stuff except me.

That's 'cause we're very smart, you and me.

Everybody usually thinks I'm annoying.

Elliot, you had a call.

Wasn't sure if it was important.

Thanks.

Can you gimme a second.

Mum, look.

This was Elliot's mum's car.

Oh, I see.

Hello? Yeah. Sorry I missed your call.

How are you?

Oh.

Oh no.

No, you have to do what's right for you.

Can I get you anything?

Okay.

Well, rest and I'll talk to you soon.

Take care. Yeah?

Bye.

Okay, let's get started.

Okay, I'll let you get on.

Alright, we've gotta push it in there.

So I'll let off the handbrake.

Okay.

-You ready? -Yeah.

On three, two, one.

-Yes! -Yeah!

Yes!

Right. It's time to go, kiddo.

Oh.

We can do more tomorrow and the day after.

Okay.

Great work.

Go grab your bag and bits, please.

Are you alright?

Yeah.

Good.

I have to host this charity cocktail party tonight.

Yeah. Simone said.

I've been over everything.

The place is spic and span, I promise you.

-Thank you. -No worries.

I had an old teacher of mine coming.

Nice.

Unfortunately she can't make it now.

-Would you come? -Where?

With me to the cocktail party as my plus one?

-No. -Okay.

-Sorry. -No.

No, it's just that I -- I --

It's not really my thing.

What about Simone?

-What about her? -Wouldn't she be better?

It's just I wouldn't know what to do

or say to posh people.

Do you think I'm posh?

No. No, not posh. Just...

Well, what are you then?

I didn't grow up like this.

You mean once upon a time

you were poor like me?

Nothing to be ashamed of.

No, I'm not.

Truth is,

I hate things like this.

Can't handle small talk.

The only reason I do it is to fundraise

for the burns charity.

-Oh, right. -It's for children, mostly.

Kids suffering from low self-esteem, PTSD.

Have I guilt tripped you enough into saying yes or?

Please come.

-Can you keep still? -I've got an itch.

-No, you haven't. -What?

Well, manifest it away.

I'm manifesting.

-Oh! -I'm sorry.

-You're ruining my vision. -Alright, alright.

-Thank you. -Alright.

Oh God, I wish you were coming with me.

-No, you don't. -I do.

What am I gonna say to these people?

They all went to swanky schools.

They've got like three surnames instead of one.

They're educated and smart.

Well, I could invent a new surname for you.

I'm serious.

This isn't my world.

I'm gonna look like a right twit.

-Oy! No, you won't! -I am.

They're gonna be talking about stuff I've never heard of,

then, puff back in the tabard with my marigolds

with my son in tow.

Oh, it's stupid.

Right.

Firstly, it doesn't matter about names and schools.

You are the smartest woman I know.

You always have been.

Second...

what you've done for that little boy,

always fought for him, put him first,

that hands down beats...

well, everything, doesn't it?

Ahem. Ta-da!

Oh...

God...

You're beautiful,

funny,

and the best mum in the world.

That's what people will see.

I did say it was a stupid idea.

At least she had the good grace not to show up.

Yes, please.

Simone.

What?

Champagne, please.

Of course.

-Excuse me. -Of course, yes.

May I have a quick word?

Come in.

It was my mother's.

It's beautiful.

Would you like to wear it?

Me?

Yes, you.

Sorry. Is this inappropriate?

No. No. It's just...

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Oh, I was hoping

you'd have inspirational word with Fergus, actually.

Eaton, Oxford.

You know what he does now?

TikTok.

Well, TikTok can be very lucrative.

Yes, well, I'm yet to see his first million.

No, but seriously,

would you have a quiet word in his ear?

I'll see what I can do.

Cheers.

You do know that this young man

made his first million at the age of 21.

I did not . Martin...

Well, it's nothing to be embarrassed about.

No, you done amazing.

And how is it that you know this fine fellow?

I'm his cleaner.

No, really.

Would you like another drink?

Oh, go on then.

Enjoying yourself?

Yes.

Rachel...

I see you.

What do you see?

Certainly doable.

Okay.

Alright, see you later.

Excuse me.

Rachel?

Shit...

-I wasn't. -I know...

I need to get back to Liam.

Bye now. Safe home.

Take care.

Shall I?

I had a great night.

I hope I didn't let you down.

How could you possibly have done that?

Let me get a driver to take you home.

-No, I'll be okay. -Please.

Elliot.

Vivian Jones would like to speak to you

regarding setting up the charitable trust.

I'll be right there.

Goodnight, Rachel.

Shit!

-Bed. -I can't sleep.

Auntie Jasmine force fed me loads of sweets

and now my brain feels like it's sliding out my ears.

Well, I hope not.

I need that brain of yours to make us rich one day.

Did you have a nice time?

Mm-hm.

Go on, bed.

Night, darling.

Night.

Yeah, it is too much. Yeah.

Alright, come on then.

You can help me with the sinks.

-Hey there. -Hey.

Hey. Where's Ginger?

Asleep on my bed. Still.

Lazy little kitten.

Can I go see her?

I've actually got a bit of a surprise for you.

I thought we could restore it together,

and then it's all yours.

Obviously you can't go on the actual roads

for another couple of years, but...

we can always spin around these field anytime.

Liam?

Li?

Liam!

Hey!

Darling, what's wrong?

Sorry.

Liam?

Oh, come on.

May I?

Hey, you okay in there?

Was it a bit much, the car?

Yeah.

I should have warned you.

I just wanted it to be a surprise.

Can I tell you something?

Yeah.

When I was a kid...

about your age,

my mum got me a mountain bike.

18 gears, steel frame.

I wanted that bike so badly, Liam.

But for some reason, I don't know why...

I didn't feel like I deserved it.

So my mum sat me down, and do you know what she said?

What?

She said, "You're a good kid.

You deserve this."

You are a good kid, Liam.

Sorry.

Don't be.

It's okay.

We never get stuff like this and...

if we do...

Listen.

No one's gonna take that car from you.

I promise.

Come on.

Can Liam have one of these?

Sure.

You were great with him earlier.

-Oh... -No, you were.

Look, can I ask you something, and I don't want this to,

you know, come across badly, but...

why are you doing this?

-Sorry? -All of this for us?

Why are you doing it?

I'm just trying to help you out.

Yeah, but why?

I like you.

I like Liam.

I like helping people like...

People like me?

I'm just trying to pay forward the help that I got.

So we make you feel good?

Yes, you do.

Like charity?

No, no!

Look...

maybe the truth is...

Liam reminds a bit of me and...

you of my mum.

I like spending time with you, both of you.

And if I can help you out, I will.

But I would never want you to feel uncomfortable.

So if it's all too much...

just say.

Okay?

Okay.

Mum!

Liam, leave it.

You'll cut yourself. I'll do it in a minute.

Oh my God.

Oh, hey.

You too.

Come here. Come on.

Oh God.

What did the police say?

They'll look into it.

I don't get it. Why not just take it?

Why did he have to smash it up?

Evil, spiteful shit.

I'll go.

I'm sorry, darling. We'll be okay.

Oh my God.

Elliot.

You okay?

Yeah.

How did you know?

I told him.

How?

My new phone.

It's not new.

It's actually very old.

He found it in the garage.

He was excited.

I told him to tell you.

And I was going to, but...

Um...

Oh, hey.

Who would do this?

Psycho.

My ex, Kieron.

Right, listen, pack yourself a bag

and you two can come and stay at mine.

-No. -We'll...

figure this out in the morning.

No, there's not enough room.

Well, we can top and tails it, eh?

All three of us?

You can stay at mine.

No.

Just a few days...

'til you get yourself sorted.

I can't ask that of you.

Well, you haven't asked.

I've offered.

Can we?

We're not a charity case, Liam.

I could take it outta your wages

if that makes you feel better.

It's no problem.

You can't stay here, babe.

It's not safe.

You okay?

I'm worried about my pets. We should have brought them.

Jasmine's gonna take care of them, darling.

Honestly, they'll be fine.

Go and put these in your room.

Is he okay?

He'll be fine.

Liam!

Grab your overalls.

We've work to do.

Let you get settled in.

Come on.

Deal with that later.

How you doing?

Great. He's doing brilliantly.

Good. He's loving this.

Liam!

Oh!

What the hell do you think you're doing?!

-Mum! -It's okay. It's okay.

Liam, I'm...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, okay?

You just scared me.

We're alright...

you and me?

We're alright, aren't we?

Maybe this was a bad idea.

No, no, no. Please.

Can we go inside?

Yeah.

Come on.

Where did it go?

Get it, Ginger.

Can I join you?

Good girl.

Yeah.

Where's it gone?

Where's it gone?

Good girl.

I truly am sorry again.

It's alright.

No, it's not.

Where's it gone?

Yeah, good girl.

Are you alright?

He's fine.

What is it?

Hey.

You don't want to listen to this.

I do.

My parents...

...I lost them in a fire.

Oh, Elliot, I'm so sorry.

It's no excuse.

How old were you?

Liam's age.

Elliot.

Elliot, come look at this!

Coming!

Where's it gone? Where's it gone?

Thank you,

but this album was a labour of love.

I drew inspiration from personal experiences,

relationships, and the world around me --

Hey, darling.

Leave him.

Is there anything else I can do for you?

About what happened to you...

I shouldn't have said anything.

No, you should. Of course you should.

He's not Liam's dad...

my ex.

He's just a very bad decision.

Well, we all make them.

Liam comes first. Always.

Of course.

Goodnight then.

Night.

Elliot.

You've done so much for us and I...

Just...

thank you.

Are you sure?
