This programme contains some strong language

0:00:020:00:05

-Any word on who did this?

-Police say IRA.

0:00:050:00:07

-Will your wife be wondering where you got to?

-I'm not married.

0:00:070:00:09

Ever since the Arndale bomb, feels like one life isn't enough.

0:00:090:00:13

Finally worked out what I want.

0:00:130:00:14

I'm going to need more of you now.

0:00:140:00:16

I am trying to save this place.

0:00:160:00:18

Charlie refinanced the business.

0:00:180:00:20

You have no right!

0:00:200:00:21

-What's your plan?

-To trust Dad!

0:00:210:00:23

I love you. I'm always going to be coming back here to you.

0:00:230:00:26

Two families, another baby on the way, and they don't know about

0:00:260:00:29

each other. I would say that was pretty out of hand.

0:00:290:00:31

Well, at least I didn't bomb my own club.

0:00:310:00:34

Your bomb was YOUR bomb.

0:00:340:00:36

We've got a problem.

0:00:360:00:37

I was adopted, by the way. When I was about five.

0:00:370:00:40

There's something inside your head and it's driving you mad.

0:00:400:00:43

Are you all right?

0:00:430:00:45

Argh!

0:00:450:00:46

Who are you?

0:00:470:00:48

His wife. Who are you?

0:00:480:00:51

Did I die?

0:01:210:01:22

Not yet. But it can be arranged.

0:01:230:01:25

You had a mild heart attack.

0:01:250:01:27

So...

0:01:370:01:39

Are we all getting on so far?

0:01:390:01:40

Don't you joke! You shat on our lives!

0:01:420:01:46

Don't you lie there and joke about it!

0:01:460:01:48

Mum! Mum! Come on.

0:01:480:01:52

Get your hands off her!

0:01:520:01:53

He's sick in the head!

0:01:530:01:55

No, wait, stay.

0:01:550:01:56

Everybody else get out.

0:01:580:01:59

Claire, Joanne.

0:02:010:02:03

I want you to stay. Could you?

0:02:030:02:06

Please?

0:02:080:02:09

No chance, pal.

0:02:090:02:10

I can stay!

0:02:130:02:15

It's the last time I ever do anything you ask.

0:02:200:02:23

It's funny, really.

0:02:270:02:30

I don't remember him even liking the Osmonds.

0:02:300:02:32

Too soon for the Mormon gag?

0:02:350:02:36

I'm sorry about before. I jumped to the wrong conclusion.

0:02:410:02:45

It's hard to take in.

0:02:460:02:47

Yeah. Well.

0:02:490:02:50

Me too, lad. Sorry.

0:02:500:02:53

It must have knocked you bow-legged.

0:02:530:02:56

Not really. Didn't like him all that much, anyway.

0:02:560:02:59

You were in the club that night, weren't you?

0:02:590:03:03

Yeah. And you were lying through your teeth that night, weren't you?

0:03:030:03:06

What was I going to say? It was down to him.

0:03:060:03:08

What? Do you mean to say you've known about this all along?

0:03:080:03:12

Why didn't you tell somebody?

0:03:120:03:13

I don't exactly remember you returning my phone calls.

0:03:130:03:16

How is he? Is he all right?

0:03:180:03:21

Yeah. He's all right. Sorry to say.

0:03:210:03:24

Don't say that.

0:03:240:03:25

And who the hell is this?

0:03:270:03:28

Lee. Pleased to meet you.

0:03:280:03:31

This is my brother, Lee.

0:03:310:03:32

This is my baby sister, Scarlet.

0:03:320:03:34

Hi. Nice to meet you.

0:03:350:03:37

I feel like I'm in a really bad episode of "Surprise, Surprise."

0:03:390:03:43

I'm sorry.

0:03:590:04:00

To both of you.

0:04:040:04:05

I'm sorry.

0:04:070:04:08

Is that your explanation?

0:04:090:04:11

Maybe if you asked me anything.

0:04:120:04:14

Just anything you like.

0:04:180:04:19

How about "Why?"

0:04:200:04:21

I met Joanne and fell in love...

0:04:240:04:26

..and I was still in love with you

0:04:290:04:31

and it got out of hand.

0:04:310:04:33

Where did you think he was?

0:04:330:04:35

He worked away.

0:04:350:04:36

With the sweet factory.

0:04:360:04:38

"The sweet factory"? Is that what he told you?

0:04:380:04:41

There is a sweet factory. It's a family business.

0:04:410:04:44

Is that true?

0:04:440:04:46

Yes.

0:04:480:04:50

And does it pay well, this job?

0:04:500:04:51

I, erm...

0:04:520:04:53

Well, I kind of own it.

0:04:550:04:57

So you're rich?

0:04:590:05:00

He told me he was an industrial cleaner.

0:05:020:05:04

What?!

0:05:040:05:06

That's just bizarre!

0:05:060:05:07

It was all I could think of.

0:05:070:05:10

Why not a spy or a pilot or something?

0:05:100:05:13

An industrial cleaner? That was your fantasy self?

0:05:130:05:16

SHE LAUGHS

0:05:160:05:17

God almighty!

0:05:170:05:19

Have you got a big house?

0:05:200:05:22

I thought you wanted to know why.

0:05:220:05:24

We know the why. It's always the same. The why.

0:05:240:05:27

You wanted to screw two women at once

0:05:270:05:29

but not have to live with what came next.

0:05:290:05:31

I think that's the "why" well and truly nailed.

0:05:310:05:33

No. It was never, never like that.

0:05:330:05:36

Please don't talk about the bomb again.

0:05:360:05:38

Marks and Spencer's has managed to recover, and you haven't?

0:05:380:05:41

-Just...

-No. You don't get to call the shots any more. No.

0:05:410:05:45

I don't want to know what you think.

0:05:450:05:47

You lied because it suited you.

0:05:470:05:49

You lied because you're weak. You lied because

0:05:490:05:52

you don't mind whose lives were messed up

0:05:520:05:55

as long as it's not your own.

0:05:550:05:56

I had a baby. Our baby!

0:06:010:06:05

In this hospital!

0:06:050:06:06

And you made me feel like it was us. Just us!

0:06:070:06:11

And you've poisoned that.

0:06:120:06:14

You've poisoned everything.

0:06:150:06:17

Me, Scarlet.

0:06:190:06:21

All the rest, all the rest!

0:06:230:06:25

It's just...

0:06:280:06:29

I will do anything...

0:06:360:06:38

..to put things right.

0:06:400:06:41

Whatever "right" is.

0:06:430:06:45

You can write it down.

0:06:460:06:48

-What?

-I want you to write it all down.

0:06:510:06:54

Every day you were away.

0:06:550:06:57

What you were doing. Where you were. Who you were with.

0:06:570:07:01

But I can't remember. What would be the point of that?

0:07:010:07:04

So I know. So I'm in on it.

0:07:040:07:07

So that bit of my life isn't a secret to me any more.

0:07:080:07:12

Yeah, but you'd be torturing yourself.

0:07:120:07:13

Don't you think I'm torturing myself now? Trying to guess?

0:07:130:07:17

Right, I really appreciate you letting me know about that.

0:07:290:07:33

Well, I am just in the middle of something now,

0:07:330:07:35

so how about I touch base with you when I'm done?

0:07:350:07:37

Maybe an hour or so. All right, thanks now. Bye-bye.

0:07:370:07:41

Hi. How is he?

0:07:410:07:44

He's OK.

0:07:440:07:45

But there's something else that you should prepare yourself for.

0:07:450:07:48

His affair?

0:07:480:07:49

Charlie filled me in. I'm really sorry, Mum.

0:07:510:07:54

Do you think the press'll get hold of it?

0:07:540:07:56

Well... Word is that it might actually do me some good.

0:07:560:08:00

Blair's Babes have been seen as a bit non-descript.

0:08:000:08:03

So this might just help mark me out from the pack.

0:08:030:08:05

MOBILE RINGS

0:08:050:08:06

I'm so sorry. I just have to get this. Alistair, hi...

0:08:060:08:09

Every cloud...

0:08:100:08:11

Mum, do you want me to...?

0:08:130:08:15

I'm going home.

0:08:150:08:17

Call me if he dies.

0:08:170:08:19

Well, well, well.

0:08:240:08:25

Turns out my dad is an utter prick.

0:08:250:08:27

All that talking down to me.

0:08:290:08:30

All the moral high ground, and all the time...

0:08:300:08:33

He just nearly died in there.

0:08:330:08:34

You might want to remember that bit.

0:08:350:08:37

-Why are you suddenly on his side?

-He made a mistake.

0:08:370:08:40

It happens.

0:08:420:08:43

To me.

0:08:440:08:45

To him.

0:08:450:08:47

Even to you, one day.

0:08:480:08:50

It's definitely going to happen to me.

0:08:530:08:56

If you want to give me a kicking

0:08:580:09:00

you're going to have to book an appointment.

0:09:000:09:03

No. I'm not here to have a go at you.

0:09:030:09:06

I'm here to say that I understand.

0:09:080:09:10

I'm on your side.

0:09:100:09:13

I know why you did it.

0:09:130:09:15

How can you know?

0:09:150:09:17

The Manchester bomb. That bomb.

0:09:170:09:18

I felt it, too.

0:09:200:09:21

I felt something shift.

0:09:220:09:24

That'd be the Royal Exchange. It moved six inches, apparently.

0:09:240:09:27

Don't be cute. You're in no position.

0:09:270:09:31

You know and I know.

0:09:310:09:33

We had a little peek into the hereafter, didn't we?

0:09:330:09:36

A sneak preview?

0:09:370:09:39

-I don't remember.

-Oh, come on!

0:09:390:09:41

I could practically hear my coffin lid being screwed down.

0:09:420:09:46

You're never normal after that.

0:09:460:09:47

You're not MEANT to be normal after that.

0:09:470:09:51

You'd better move in with me.

0:09:510:09:53

You what? Don't be stupid.

0:09:530:09:55

Just till the dust settles.

0:09:550:09:56

So I can keep an eye on you. All right?

0:09:580:10:00

Cos you're behaving like you're mental

0:10:000:10:02

and somebody needs to keep an eye on you.

0:10:020:10:04

Ah!

0:10:050:10:07

So is that a "No" or a "Yes"?

SQUEALS OF DELIGHT

0:10:410:10:43

# Every time I think of you

0:10:440:10:47

# I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue

0:10:470:10:51

# It's no problem of mine But it's a problem I find

0:10:510:10:55

# Living a life that I can't leave behind

0:10:550:11:00

# There's no sense in telling me

0:11:000:11:04

# That the wisdom of the fool won't set you free

0:11:040:11:08

# But it's the way that it goes And it's what nobody knows

0:11:080:11:12

# Well, every day my confusion grows... #

0:11:120:11:16

And I'll tell you, Claire.

0:11:230:11:25

If you're big enough to invite Scarlet

0:11:250:11:27

then our Daniel should be big enough to turn up.

0:11:270:11:29

Well, what am I going to do?

0:11:290:11:31

Punish Scarlet because her dad's been a total knob?

0:11:310:11:35

Well, don't ask me to explain it.

0:11:350:11:38

I'm a bit Old Testament on the forgiveness front.

0:11:380:11:41

Free food. Bound to be here.

0:11:410:11:42

No explanation about last night?

0:11:420:11:44

No, and he'd gone out by the time I got up.

0:11:440:11:46

-Can I help, Mum?

-Can't be easy. I mean, living in his old house.

0:11:460:11:49

His old bedroom.

0:11:490:11:50

Nonsense. Samuel's got plenty of free bedrooms.

0:11:500:11:53

It's just attention-seeking, and I've no intention of indulging it.

0:11:530:11:57

Hello! Happy New Year, Charlie, my boy!

0:11:570:12:01

This is my grandfather, Samuel, this is Fliss.

0:12:010:12:03

-Nice to meet you. Happy New Year, Fliff.

-Fliss.

0:12:030:12:07

-Hiya! Happy New Year!

-Happy New Year!

0:12:070:12:10

Happy New Year, Pete. How you doing, you all right?

0:12:120:12:15

Here they are...

0:12:150:12:16

All right? Oh, look who's here with her buttons!

0:12:160:12:19

Happy New Year!

0:12:190:12:21

Hello!

0:12:240:12:25

Happy New Year, Dad.

0:12:250:12:26

Happy New Year.

0:12:260:12:28

-Flowers.

-Very nice.

-Happy New Year.

0:12:280:12:30

Happy New Year.

0:12:300:12:31

Now listen, darling, if I put these crisps in bowls

0:12:310:12:34

will you hand them round for everybody?

0:12:340:12:36

Come on, then. That's it, there you go, you hold that.

0:12:360:12:39

-All right, what do you think?

-It looks wicked.

0:12:390:12:41

This is weird.

0:12:430:12:45

Right, come on, Harry. Shall we go and see

0:12:450:12:47

if we can find Scarlet's Christmas present?

0:12:470:12:49

It's under the tree, isn't it?

0:12:490:12:51

Got any nutriment round that joint, Claire?

0:12:520:12:54

-This gravy needs a bit of a buzz.

-Sure.

0:12:540:12:56

Mind it's hot.

0:12:580:13:00

Do you want me to take that through?

0:13:000:13:02

No. I'll do it.

0:13:020:13:03

You could just get everyone to sit down.

0:13:030:13:07

Since when did you become the domestic goddess?

0:13:100:13:13

About the same time you started acting a dick.

0:13:130:13:16

Just relax a bit, would you? You're setting everybody on edge.

0:13:160:13:19

Pretty hard to relax in your old house with a family that hates you.

0:13:190:13:22

Nobody hates you.

0:13:220:13:23

I can see the looks they're giving.

0:13:230:13:25

You're a grown man living with his dad.

0:13:250:13:27

Those are looks of pity, not hatred. Get it right.

0:13:270:13:29

It's getting cold and I'm getting hot with anger

0:13:290:13:32

so if you gentlemen wouldn't mind coming through, this millennium?

0:13:320:13:36

Oh, very good, Claire. Topical. Nice.

0:13:360:13:39

Roasties!

0:13:390:13:41

Have you just chucked peas on me?

0:13:410:13:42

Louise, can you put some spuds on Grandad's plate?

0:13:420:13:45

-Yes. How many do you want, Grandad?

-I'll have three, please.

0:13:450:13:48

-This is gorgeous, Mum.

-It's lovely, thank you.

0:13:480:13:50

Have you been up all night, Rob?

0:13:500:13:52

Yeah, but I was playing the chillout room from four.

0:13:520:13:55

I'm nodding as if I know what that means.

0:13:550:13:57

-Do you know what that means, Fliff?

-Fliss!

0:13:570:13:59

Very impressed though, I have to say.

0:13:590:14:01

I was wrong about you, Rob, and I was wrong about the club.

0:14:010:14:05

-Cheers!

-Cheers.

0:14:050:14:07

Turned out all you needed was a bomb under your arse, after all.

0:14:070:14:10

Daniel. The kids. Language.

0:14:100:14:12

Be good for business when you get them riverside flats of yours built, Charlie.

0:14:120:14:15

-They back on to us.

-That sounds exciting.

0:14:150:14:17

-If we get planning permission.

-We'll get planning permission.

0:14:170:14:21

I heard you have been turned down once already.

0:14:210:14:22

They turned you down?

0:14:220:14:24

The planning will go through.

0:14:240:14:26

It's a conservation area, isn't it?

0:14:260:14:27

That won't be a problem. Not to Manchester. Not right now.

0:14:270:14:30

The planning office always turns you down once just to

0:14:300:14:32

justify their existence.

0:14:320:14:34

It's a long way from penny chews, I know that much.

0:14:340:14:37

And a good thing, too. Congratulations, Charlie.

0:14:370:14:39

People will always be scared of change.

0:14:390:14:43

Amen to that. Me and Tony Blair agree on that much.

0:14:430:14:46

By people do you mean me? He means me, Flix.

0:14:460:14:48

-Fliss.

-Looking round this table do you see anyone whose life has changed

0:14:480:14:52

more than mine these past two years?

0:14:520:14:54

That's a trifle self indulgent, Daniel!

0:14:540:14:57

You didn't choose to change though, did you?

0:14:570:14:59

You changed because you got found out.

0:14:590:15:00

-Exactly.

-How long have you been sharpening that one?

0:15:000:15:03

As Grandad here will tell you, you could choose to hurt me

0:15:030:15:06

for being your dad or I could choose to hurt you for being my son or...

0:15:060:15:10

we could both grow up and eat our greens.

0:15:100:15:12

All right? Am I right, Fliss? Did I get it right that time?

0:15:120:15:15

-I don't know you well enough.

-You could just agree with Charlie.

0:15:150:15:17

His girlfriends don't tend to last if they, well, start holding opinions.

0:15:170:15:21

-Dad! Sorry...

-Fliss. Just keep your head down and keep eating

0:15:210:15:24

while they tear into each other.

0:15:240:15:26

-Hey!

-Believe me, I've had years of practice.

0:15:260:15:27

We're having a family meal here.

0:15:270:15:29

Can we just try and act like nice people. Please?

0:15:290:15:32

Does anyone remember what they act like?

0:15:320:15:34

SHE LAUGHS

0:15:340:15:36

'Is it just me, or is Dad turning into'

0:15:380:15:41

the uncle nobody wants for Christmas?

0:15:410:15:42

No. I think that's pretty much everyone's take on it.

0:15:420:15:45

You do wind him up, though.

0:15:450:15:47

Well, he's just plain wrong about the warehouse conversion.

0:15:470:15:50

How much is riding on it?

0:15:500:15:51

-Big numbers. But then big numbers don't frighten me.

-Charlie...

0:15:510:15:55

-Pretty much everything we've got.

-Jesus, Charlie, what were you thinking of?

0:15:550:15:58

That was good. You sounded just like Dad.

0:15:580:16:01

I'm sorry. Just got a lot of stuff going round right now.

0:16:010:16:05

Political stuff, or the fact you're having an affair?

0:16:050:16:09

I know.

0:16:090:16:10

You know? God, if you guessed, I'm really in trouble.

0:16:100:16:16

You're the most insensitive person I know.

0:16:160:16:18

I was told. By someone in the party.

0:16:180:16:22

When was this?

0:16:230:16:25

Does it matter? Fundraiser, or some lobbyist meeting.

0:16:250:16:28

Party conference.

0:16:280:16:29

You were at the party conference?

0:16:290:16:31

I think you might have your priorities ever so slightly skewed here.

0:16:310:16:34

Just be careful, hey?

0:16:340:16:36

-Yeah.

-Woo hoo...

0:16:370:16:39

Hello... Look at you, princess. Hello.

0:16:390:16:43

ALL CHAT

0:16:430:16:46

We are going to look at the garden, aren't we?

0:16:460:16:49

Yeah? See my lovely flowers.

0:16:490:16:51

It doesn't give me any pleasure to say it, Daniel.

0:17:020:17:06

Daniel... You've got to be a bit nicer round people.

0:17:060:17:11

You're the male role model for your daughter.

0:17:110:17:13

Do you really want Scarlet choosing a man as angry as you?

0:17:130:17:17

I am not angry. I'm just permanently irritated.

0:17:170:17:22

Do you think Louise and Peter are OK?

0:17:270:17:30

I'm sorry, I don't want to hurt your feelings but would you mind going quite soon?

0:17:300:17:34

Erm... I've got something I have to do.

0:17:350:17:38

I don't know why I'm being so coy.

0:17:400:17:42

I've got a date.

0:17:460:17:48

There. I've said it. I'm sorry, I would have told you...

0:17:480:17:51

A date?

0:17:510:17:52

There's no need to sound so surprised.

0:17:520:17:55

No. No.

0:17:550:17:56

A date. No. That's great.

0:17:580:18:01

That's great.

0:18:030:18:04

You don't mind?

0:18:040:18:05

It's none of my business. And erm...

0:18:050:18:08

I want you to be happy. So, er...

0:18:100:18:11

Yeah, it's great.

0:18:160:18:17

Well, that, my lovely, is what us grown ups call a bit of a turn up.

DOORBELL RINGS

0:18:490:18:51

I'm afraid she's had a ton of sweets, and terrible drinks,

0:19:050:19:08

so sorry about that.

0:19:080:19:10

She's very tired. SHE CRIES

0:19:100:19:12

Did you have a lovely time with your big cousins? Yes!

0:19:120:19:16

-Do you want to watch Bedtime Hour?

-Yeah.

0:19:160:19:18

Yeah. OK.

0:19:180:19:19

-I found these under Ryan's bed.

-Oh. That's not good.

0:19:300:19:34

Is that all you've got to say?

0:19:340:19:36

-Well, I didn't put them there.

-No.

0:19:360:19:38

But he only went off the rails since you grew yourself another family.

0:19:380:19:42

All right. I'll get rid of them. And I'll have a word with him.

0:19:420:19:46

Good luck with that.

Bestie. God, he was hard as nails, wasn't he?

0:20:000:20:03

People forget that about him.

0:20:030:20:05

He could be a dirty bugger, an'all.

0:20:060:20:09

You know he was the reason I strayed to the red side, don't you?

0:20:090:20:12

I should have known then that you'd never really understand family loyalty.

0:20:120:20:16

I think you should go and see your real mother.

0:20:210:20:24

Before it's too late.

0:20:240:20:25

-What? Why would I do that?

-You know. Your whatsit.

0:20:260:20:30

Your birth mother, is that what they call it these days?

0:20:300:20:33

I know what you meant the first time.

0:20:330:20:36

I haven't needed to see her for 45 years and you were glad of that.

0:20:360:20:39

So why is it such a good idea all of a sudden?

0:20:390:20:42

You won't go to a shrink.

0:20:420:20:43

You won't go and see the GP. You won't take counselling.

0:20:440:20:48

You haven't found God, and acupuncture is out of the question

0:20:480:20:51

because you're scared stiff of needles.

0:20:510:20:53

Daniel, I haven't got anything else.

0:20:530:20:55

I think I'll stick to self hatred and alcohol for now.

0:20:550:20:58

It's more dignified.

0:20:580:20:59

Listen, I am not going to stand by and watch you acting the twat

0:20:590:21:02

so much that you're actually becoming a twat.

0:21:020:21:04

It's killing you, it's killing me.

0:21:040:21:07

You've got to do something.

0:21:070:21:08

I don't know where she is. I don't know if she's alive or dead.

0:21:080:21:11

She wasn't hard to find.

0:21:170:21:19

She's a real character, is our Edie.

0:22:540:22:57

I prefer the Sheikh.

0:22:570:22:59

What?

0:22:590:23:00

That lad. There. The Sheikh.

0:23:000:23:03

Do you know who I am?

0:23:110:23:13

Yes.

0:23:130:23:14

I, erm...

0:23:200:23:21

..brought this picture.

0:23:230:23:25

It's of you and me when I was a baby.

0:23:280:23:31

"Easki"? Does that sound like a fly swat to you?

0:23:310:23:35

I'm your son, Daniel.

0:23:370:23:40

We don't want to be going back there. That's all gone.

0:23:420:23:46

Do you know what really excites me about what you've done for us?

0:23:520:23:56

-What you're doing.

-What's that?

0:23:560:23:58

I could walk into Tesco's in Beijing tomorrow

0:23:580:24:01

and know that there's a bag of Cotton's Mint Balls by the checkout.

0:24:010:24:06

Now, that, to me, is the modern economy in its full glory.

0:24:060:24:11

Well, not quite Beijing. Not quite yet.

0:24:110:24:13

No. I know. I know. You know, I was romancing.

0:24:130:24:17

But we will.

0:24:190:24:20

Already in the Eastern bloc. As you said.

0:24:210:24:24

That solicitor, is he as good as his suit says he is?

0:24:280:24:31

Grandad. He's the best.

0:24:310:24:33

Yeah, well, he'd better be at the prices he's charging.

0:24:340:24:37

Couldn't our Louise have swung this for you?

0:24:370:24:40

I mean, she must be well in with the council.

0:24:400:24:42

This is all part of the game. The council turn it down.

0:24:420:24:45

We tweak the plans. We appeal.

0:24:450:24:47

They pass the plans.

0:24:470:24:48

They are ready for us.

0:24:480:24:49

Great, thanks.

0:24:490:24:51

-Good luck.

-Thanks, but we don't need it.

Edie. Can you just... The thing is, I'm not sure you understand

0:25:090:25:14

who I am.

0:25:140:25:15

I understand. You're my son, Daniel.

0:25:150:25:17

Do you think I wouldn't recognise my own son? Hey.

0:25:170:25:20

Well, I thought maybe we should meet.

0:25:200:25:22

Before I croak?

0:25:220:25:24

No. No. I just wanted to see you.

0:25:240:25:26

Why now? You've had 40 years.

0:25:260:25:28

Turkish boat or a Tarot card. What do you reckon?

0:25:280:25:31

I'm your son.

0:25:310:25:33

I bloody know who you are! You're Daniel. I know that.

0:25:330:25:36

My son. I knew that the moment I saw you walked in here.

0:25:360:25:38

You've got his eyes. And his walk.

0:25:380:25:41

Can't miss it.

0:25:410:25:42

Who?

0:25:420:25:43

Your dad.

0:25:430:25:44

Oh, right.

0:25:440:25:46

Mr Bedroom Eyes.

0:25:460:25:48

Mr Get a Girl in Trouble and then do the right thing.

0:25:480:25:51

Nearly. Not quite. But nearly.

0:25:510:25:54

Mr Confectionery, with his sweet stall and his sweet talk.

0:25:540:25:58

No, no, no. You're getting mixed up.

0:25:580:26:01

Samuel was the one that adopted me.

0:26:010:26:03

He did indeed. At least he did that much.

0:26:030:26:05

But he's not my dad.

0:26:050:26:06

What are you saying? You saying I was easy?

0:26:070:26:10

No. No, of course not.

0:26:100:26:12

Why else would a man adopt a five-year-old

0:26:120:26:14

when he already has a son the same age?

0:26:140:26:17

He said he heard about me after the war.

0:26:170:26:21

It was after the war and you couldn't cope.

0:26:210:26:26

That's true. I couldn't cope.

0:26:260:26:30

I hadn't had a good war, as the saying goes.

0:26:300:26:32

I was a bit bloody cuckoo.

0:26:320:26:34

Samuel?

0:26:350:26:37

Samuel is my dad?

0:26:390:26:41

Run in the family? Is that it?

0:26:420:26:44

You seem very slow on the uptake. Funny that.

0:26:440:26:48

When I handed you over you seemed like a bright kiddie.

0:26:480:26:51

-How did it go?

-A breeze.

0:27:060:27:08

They're going to let us know in a couple of days but it's a formality.

0:27:080:27:12

-Good!

-I'll see you later. Thanks for coming, Grandad.

0:27:120:27:15

Hey, you pulled it off again, lad. Well done.

0:28:420:28:46

Is it true?

0:28:480:28:49

Is what true?

0:28:510:28:53

What my birth mother just told me. About you.

0:28:530:28:56

Is it true?

0:28:580:28:59

She's mental.

0:28:590:29:00

I did notice. But that's not what I fucking asked!

0:29:000:29:04

We were ambulance volunteers in the war. Manchester blitz.

0:29:050:29:10

She was married but he was in action in the Far East.

0:29:100:29:14

Just like that.

0:29:180:29:19

It was the blitz. Everybody was at it.

0:29:220:29:25

Nothing like a bit of tracer fire to get the sap rising.

0:29:270:29:31

Oh, lovely(!) You're making me feel like a child conceived in love.

0:29:310:29:35

-Well. You wanted it straight.

-Not that fucking straight, I didn't.

0:29:350:29:38

I'm sorry. It wasn't a knee trembler in an Anderson shelter. No.

0:29:380:29:43

It went on for about five years on and off, even after the war.

0:29:450:29:51

Oh, well, that softens the blow. Didn't her husband suspect something?

0:29:510:29:55

No. He never made it back. Jap sniper saw to that.

0:29:550:29:58

1948, she got pregnant with you. I was already married.

0:29:590:30:04

A few years after that I found that she'd gone bad with her nerves,

0:30:040:30:07

you know, gone a bit mental.

0:30:070:30:09

She'd even tried to top herself.

0:30:090:30:11

And where did Mum think you found me? Under a gooseberry bush?

0:30:110:30:15

I told her I knew this woman from Stockport Market

0:30:150:30:18

whose husband had died in the war and she'd gone bad with her nerves

0:30:180:30:22

and there was a little lad in a children's home.

0:30:220:30:24

Heartbreaking.

0:30:240:30:26

Mum chose to believe it.

0:30:260:30:27

She chose to believe it.

0:30:310:30:35

And I owed it to her to keep the lie going.

0:30:350:30:39

Touching and convincing. A win-win.

0:30:410:30:43

For God's sake! Families have stories.

0:30:430:30:47

That's what holds them together.

0:30:470:30:49

It doesn't matter if it's true or not.

0:30:510:30:53

That's not the point.

0:30:530:30:54

What, and that's the moral of the story, is it?

0:30:550:30:58

You just did the same as me.

0:30:580:31:00

Except I didn't cut Joanne out. That's the difference.

0:31:000:31:04

Who do you think pays for that nursing home?

0:31:040:31:07

Why did you let me find out like this?

0:31:090:31:11

Why didn't you sit down and tell me?

0:31:140:31:17

Because I'm a coward.

0:31:190:31:20

0:32:500:32:53

I mean, doesn't that make you a very proud man?

0:32:530:32:56

GUNSHOTS, SCREAMING

0:32:570:32:59

SHOUTING

0:32:590:33:01

Fuck.

0:33:140:33:16

So you didn't recognise the fella firing the gun?

0:33:160:33:18

No. Do you know what, I was looking at the gun not his face.

0:33:180:33:21

That's very common. Never seen him before?

0:33:210:33:24

-No.

-Would you tell me if you had?

0:33:240:33:26

Not unless you want to lend me a gun from one of your lads.

0:33:260:33:28

I'm going to need all your CCTV footage. Outside and in.

0:33:280:33:31

I'll go and sort that out.

0:33:310:33:33

Thanks, Daniel.

0:33:330:33:34

You've been a bit unlucky, haven't you?

0:33:340:33:36

You had that bomb down here, when was that?

0:33:360:33:38

Four years ago. No trouble since.

0:33:380:33:40

Did you know there was dealing going on outside your club?

0:33:400:33:43

Drug dealing? Outside a club in Manchester? Are you sure?

0:33:450:33:49

I'm glad you think it's funny.

0:33:490:33:51

Bet your doorman thinks it's funny too.

0:33:510:33:53

You can't arrest him. He's my Head of Security.

0:33:530:33:57

Been dealing Class As on your doorstep.

0:33:570:33:59

Expect you don't know anything about that either.

0:33:590:34:01

So some wannabe fires a gun in my club

0:34:010:34:03

and all you can do is nick my doorman?

0:34:030:34:05

I can do more than that. I'm going to close you down until we've completed our investigation.

0:34:050:34:09

Which might be for a while.

0:34:090:34:11

I told you you were unlucky.

0:34:110:34:13

HE GROANS

0:34:160:34:18

KNOCKS ON DOOR

0:34:260:34:28

What do you want? It's not a Scarlet day.

0:34:300:34:32

Is Ryan in? I need to see him now.

0:34:320:34:34

He's out.

0:34:340:34:36

I can wait.

0:34:360:34:37

The thing is, even when I was shouting at Dad,

0:34:420:34:47

the truth of it is, part of me felt relieved.

0:34:470:34:51

Why? Because he gave you an alibi for lying?

0:34:520:34:55

No! No, because... I don't know.

0:34:560:35:01

It makes me feel as though I'm on the inside.

0:35:030:35:05

Why are you telling me this?

0:35:050:35:07

Why would you think I even care?

0:35:070:35:08

Because you were the start of it. Coming here with you.

0:35:080:35:12

I just didn't know it at the time.

0:35:140:35:15

DOOR SLAMS

0:35:190:35:21

What the hell are you doing here? What did I tell you about letting him in?

0:35:230:35:26

Don't talk to your mum like that.

0:35:260:35:28

-Who are you to talk to me?

-SCARLET CRIES

0:35:280:35:29

Just try and keep it down, will you?

0:35:290:35:32

You step in here again without being asked,

0:35:350:35:37

I know people who can mess you up big time, bro.

0:35:370:35:39

Sorry "bro"? What, we're Manc gangsta now, are we?

0:35:390:35:43

A'right rass clad? Turned out nice again.

0:35:430:35:45

Don't rip the piss out of me.

0:35:460:35:49

There's something you need to see. Not here.

0:35:490:35:52

I'll be in the car.

0:35:520:35:53

There's hours of this stuff. And do you know what's brilliant?

0:35:590:36:03

It's you that's carrying. It's you that's taking the money.

0:36:040:36:08

You look like the bigger dealer than Stapleton.

0:36:100:36:13

Maybe I was.

0:36:130:36:14

HE CHUCKLES That's funny.

0:36:140:36:18

Still playing the big man

0:36:200:36:21

when this could get you locked up for the next ten years.

0:36:210:36:24

"Maybe I was."

0:36:240:36:25

You'll have them rolling in the aisles in Strangeways

0:36:250:36:28

cos those fellas on D Wing, they just love a new boy with a sense of humour.

0:36:280:36:31

Well, you know, thanks for getting it.

0:36:320:36:35

There's more.

0:36:370:36:38

But I'm hanging on to that.

0:36:400:36:41

Just until I'm sure you've straightened yourself out.

0:36:410:36:44

-What?

-You are going to come and work for me.

0:36:440:36:46

And you're going to do a decent day's graft.

0:36:460:36:50

-No chance.

-Hey... I've got hours of this stuff at home.

0:36:500:36:53

And I've got absolutely nothing to lose.

0:36:530:36:55

You love Mum, so you wouldn't do it.

0:36:550:36:57

And you love your mum, so you won't take that risk.

0:36:570:37:00

It better be a good job.

0:37:010:37:02

It's a great job. Believe me.

0:37:020:37:04

And very much using your current skill sets.

0:37:040:37:07

Right, welcome to the real world.

0:37:100:37:12

Right, you know the routine.

0:37:200:37:22

Give people the bag. It's 50 pence the small bag.

0:37:230:37:26

£1 the big bag.

0:37:260:37:28

Try not to call them wraps and try not to take the money with

0:37:280:37:30

the back of your hand like that, it's a dead giveaway.

0:37:300:37:32

Right.

0:37:320:37:34

It's a lot like drug dealing, actually.

0:37:340:37:36

People know there are bad side effects but are too weak to resist.

0:37:360:37:40

Make as many jokes as you like. We're not mates.

0:37:400:37:42

No. We're not.

0:37:420:37:43

I'll be back about half five to help you pack up.

0:37:430:37:46

So they just let you go? Just like that?

0:37:510:37:53

Nothing on me, have they? No CCTV footage.

0:37:550:37:58

It's disappeared, apparently.

0:37:580:38:00

Really? Well, that's great. And we can reopen.

0:38:000:38:05

I don't think that's going to happen now, is it?

0:38:050:38:07

Not with your security issues.

0:38:070:38:09

That's where you come in, isn't it?

0:38:090:38:11

I think my security days are behind me.

0:38:110:38:13

Bit close for comfort all that. I'm thinking of moving into ownership.

0:38:130:38:18

Oh, yeah. Where?

0:38:200:38:22

I was thinking I'd very much like to buy this club.

0:38:230:38:27

Yeah, nice try, bud, it's not for sale.

0:38:270:38:30

I'm the only thing standing between you and a plague of Manc gangstas.

0:38:300:38:35

So, it seems to me that you can't open it without me

0:38:350:38:38

but I can open it without you.

0:38:380:38:39

Feels like I'm holding all the aces.

0:38:410:38:43

And I think the price will have to reflect your desperation.

0:38:430:38:46

I'm not selling.

0:38:460:38:48

So you're hanging on to a club you can't open.

0:38:480:38:50

Yeah. Yeah, that's right.

0:38:500:38:52

Robbo...

0:38:520:38:53

Well, in that case I might have to give the police

0:38:530:38:56

information about the other Manchester bomb.

0:38:560:38:58

Your bomb. The one you planted.

0:38:590:39:02

So you'd be dropping yourself in the shit along with us.

0:39:020:39:04

You would think so, wouldn't you?

0:39:040:39:07

But the difference between then and now is the Good Friday Agreement.

0:39:070:39:11

I think you two would go down for fraud

0:39:120:39:16

but I think I might be having tea with Peter Mandelson.

0:39:160:39:19

I look forward to doing business with you.

0:39:220:39:25

Do you think he would talk to the police?

0:39:310:39:33

If he finds himself on a sharp enough hook.

0:39:330:39:35

And now the police are after him for dealing.

0:39:370:39:39

So you think we should sell?

0:39:400:39:42

Well, I think we could get some kind of price out of him.

0:39:420:39:45

It's not the market rate, but erm...

0:39:450:39:47

Right. So we don't have any choice.

0:39:470:39:49

Unless we find the CCTV footage. Which you know nothing about.

0:39:490:39:55

-Well, I can see why you didn't want the police getting hold of this.

-Yeah.

0:39:580:40:02

But that was before the club was at risk. You know. My club.

0:40:020:40:06

Yeah.

0:40:060:40:07

So now I have to lose everything to protect your steplad?

0:40:070:40:12

If you want to give these to the police

0:40:120:40:14

-I wouldn't blame you.

-Why would I want to protect Ryan?

0:40:140:40:16

Because you were in Strangeways when you were his age

0:40:160:40:18

and you know what that means.

0:40:180:40:20

All right. More to the point. Why would you want to protect him?

0:40:210:40:24

Because I'm trying to put things right.

0:40:240:40:26

I think I preferred you when you lied.

0:40:280:40:30

HE KNOCKS ON DOOR

0:40:430:40:44

Have you got a minute?

0:40:440:40:46

-I'm kind of busy here. Can it wait?

-PHONE RINGS

0:40:460:40:49

I just need to know if there's anything wrong.

0:40:490:40:51

How do you mean?

0:40:510:40:53

Well, we've got a cash flow problem somewhere along the line and

0:40:530:40:56

it's better we know now rather than later if there is something wrong.

0:40:560:40:59

There's nothing wrong.

0:40:590:41:01

We run a far more flexible business model these days.

0:41:010:41:04

Is that City talk for not paying our bills?

0:41:040:41:06

Credit lines run in far more adventurous shapes.

0:41:060:41:10

But for those of us who have to pay cash, well, you know.

0:41:100:41:13

If there's anything I can do to help.

0:41:140:41:16

There is one thing, actually, since you ask.

0:41:160:41:19

Could you kindly stop fucking my sister?

0:41:190:41:23

Cheers!

KNOCK ON DOOR

0:42:480:42:50

Daniel?

0:42:500:42:51

Daniel.

0:42:530:42:54

For God's sake, come on, man, you're not 16 any more.

0:42:560:42:59

The last time I did this was when you weren't allowed to go

0:43:010:43:04

and see Hard Day's Night on a school night. Come on.

0:43:040:43:06

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:43:080:43:10

It was Help, by the way.

0:43:160:43:18

Not A Hard Day's Night.

0:43:200:43:22

So, what is it that you want me to do about all this?

0:43:240:43:30

So this is my son, Charlie.

0:43:310:43:34

Er...

0:43:360:43:38

Clare, my...wife, and my daughter Louise, and her husband, Peter,

0:43:380:43:46

and their children, Ella and Harry.

0:43:460:43:48

And this is Scarlet,

0:43:500:43:51

who is the newest addition to the family when she was born.

0:43:510:43:55

She is obviously three now, so, er...

0:43:550:43:57

Now, Edie, any more gentlemen callers

0:43:580:44:02

and people are going to start to talk.

0:44:020:44:04

So who's this?

0:44:050:44:06

Excuse me.

0:44:180:44:19

There. I've done as you asked.

0:44:240:44:26

Now would you tell me in God's name what all that achieved?

0:44:260:44:29

Nothing at all by the looks of it.

0:44:290:44:31

Yeah, quite right. At least we can agree on that.

0:44:310:44:33

All the cover ups. All the lies.

0:44:350:44:38

Does that just cost you nothing?

0:44:390:44:41

Of course it cost me something!

0:44:410:44:43

I lied to my wife every day of her life.

0:44:450:44:47

She died and...I'd never told her the truth about you.

0:44:490:44:54

Don't you think that was tough? Because it was!

0:44:560:45:00

I took my secret and I buried it.

0:45:000:45:02

And I got on with it, not because it was easy.

0:45:030:45:06

It wasn't, but because it was the right thing to do.

0:45:060:45:09

It was like those lads that came back from the war.

0:45:120:45:15

They'd seen terrible things. Done terrible things.

0:45:160:45:20

But they didn't bring that shit back into the family home.

0:45:220:45:25

Now, believe me. My lying hurt me.

0:45:250:45:29

But if all that means that you and me spend the rest of our days

0:45:310:45:36

at each other's throats then none of it was worth it.

0:45:360:45:39

There.

0:45:420:45:43

Now, will that bloody do you?

0:45:430:45:45

Well, it's a start.

0:45:470:45:49

MOBILE RINGS

0:45:570:45:59

Yeah?

0:46:020:46:03

Well, how long has he been in there?!

0:46:040:46:06

He won't answer!

0:46:120:46:14

Charlie.

0:46:150:46:17

Charlie, you have to let me in, son.

0:46:170:46:19

Whatever it is, we can sort it out. I promise.

0:46:190:46:22

I don't know what to do, Dad.

0:46:320:46:33

Well, don't worry, because I do.

0:46:350:46:38

Listen, Charlie, learn from my mistakes. No lying. No covering up.

0:46:480:46:54

Just go in there and tell it straight.

0:46:540:46:56

You're right. Thanks, Dad.

0:46:560:46:58

OK. I'll be in your corner, son.

0:46:580:47:01

I'm going to be honest. And...direct.

0:47:080:47:13

It seems, well not so much seems as is...

0:47:150:47:18

The thing is, I have fallen victim to what Alan Greenspan once termed,

0:47:200:47:25

"irrational exuberance".

0:47:250:47:26

Just tell it straight, Charlie.

0:47:260:47:28

Our...asset acquisition has not,

0:47:300:47:36

I have to admit,

0:47:360:47:38

yielded the anticipated results.

0:47:380:47:42

What Charlie is trying to tell you

0:47:460:47:48

is that we've moved into property development...

0:47:480:47:51

..and have lost our shirts.

0:47:520:47:54

And trousers.

0:47:550:47:57

The buildings we bought were in a conservation area

0:47:570:47:59

so change of use to flats is a non-starter.

0:47:590:48:04

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

0:48:040:48:06

It's a bit worse than that.

0:48:060:48:07

The cost of purchasing the property was...

0:48:080:48:12

was borrowed against the value of the confectionery company.

0:48:120:48:16

And the value of the property was inflated to include

0:48:160:48:20

change of use, so it was already high.

0:48:200:48:23

So the property wing of the company is in trouble?

0:48:230:48:27

Gone altogether, actually.

0:48:280:48:30

And the factory?

0:48:300:48:32

Yeah... The factory, too.

0:48:320:48:33

So, everything has gone.

0:48:350:48:38

That's one way of looking it.

0:48:380:48:40

Is there another way of looking at it?

0:48:400:48:42

So, you bet everything on property development and lost the bet.

0:48:430:48:50

Well, in fairness, Dad, we all took our eye off the ball so, erm...

0:48:500:48:53

So we've lost...everything?

0:48:530:48:56

Yes. We've lost everything.

0:48:570:49:01

Well, to be correct, you've lost everything. On our behalf.

0:49:010:49:04

I warned you. I said.

0:49:040:49:06

Didn't I? I said.

0:49:060:49:08

You stupid, arrogant prick!

0:49:080:49:10

-Louise. That's enough.

-No, it isn't!

0:49:100:49:12

I'm sorry. All right?

0:49:120:49:14

To everybody. I'm sorry.

0:49:140:49:16

No need to apologise to me, kid. I've got other reasons for going bust.

0:49:160:49:20

Well, that's not strictly true.

0:49:200:49:23

They turned down my plans

0:49:230:49:25

because they've already approved other plans for executive flats.

0:49:250:49:28

Your club is bang in the middle of the application.

0:49:280:49:30

They're going to flatten the Boo.

0:49:300:49:32

Are you serious?

0:49:320:49:34

What, demolish it? My club?

0:49:360:49:39

Happy now, Charlie? You've even screwed Uncle Robbo.

0:49:390:49:41

Like you've never done anything wrong!

0:49:410:49:43

Not like this, I haven't.

0:49:430:49:44

Don't make me say it, Louise. Don't push me.

0:49:440:49:46

Charlie, don't even go there. It's none of your business.

0:49:460:49:49

Has anybody got any idea what he's on about? Louise? Peter?

0:49:490:49:52

What?

0:49:560:49:57

To quote Robin Cook when his wife was crying

0:49:580:50:00

because her horse had died,

0:50:000:50:03

"As you're upset already,

0:50:030:50:04

"I need to tell you that I'm having an affair."

0:50:040:50:07

Sorry, I don't get it.

0:50:100:50:11

I'm having an affair. Peter and I are splitting up.

0:50:110:50:13

-It's going to be in the papers in the morning.

-What? Is this true?

-Yeah.

0:50:130:50:17

Peter?

0:50:170:50:18

Does that make you feel better about yourself, Charlie!

0:50:180:50:20

ALL SHOUT AT ONCE

0:50:200:50:22

This isn't really the time...

0:50:220:50:24

OK! OK! All right! Quiet! Shut up!

0:50:240:50:29

Listen! Everybody just listen!

0:50:290:50:31

We might be broke.

0:50:330:50:35

But Charlie isn't the only one who has done something wrong, is he?

0:50:350:50:38

I mean, we've all messed up.

0:50:380:50:41

But we're here, in the same room, talking to each other.

0:50:410:50:44

Shouting, more like.

0:50:440:50:45

Well, yes. Shouting maybe.

0:50:450:50:46

But at least we're here.

0:50:480:50:50

And I, for one, would rather be in a family of...honest fuck ups

0:50:500:50:54

than a family of lying high achievers.

0:50:540:50:56

-Sorry, where was I going with this again?

-You were heading to a silver lining.

0:50:590:51:03

Right. Yes. Right. We're not the Waltons. I know that.

0:51:030:51:06

But we're here. For each other.

0:51:080:51:11

Every one of us has lied. Every single one of us.

0:51:130:51:17

I've lied. Dad has lied. Robbo has lied. Charlie has lied.

0:51:170:51:21

Louise has lied. Every one of us.

0:51:210:51:23

I haven't lied.

0:51:250:51:26

Well, no. No, not you, Peter, maybe.

0:51:260:51:29

-Neither have I, come to think of it.

-Just go with this, will you?

0:51:290:51:31

Most of us have lied.

0:51:330:51:36

And most of us have kept up appearances.

0:51:390:51:41

And I've done it more than most.

0:51:430:51:45

And it cost me.

0:51:470:51:49

And it cost the people I love.

0:51:510:51:52

Right, but not any more. Not any more.

0:51:540:51:58

And maybe, if I'm honest, and Dad's honest, and we're all honest...

0:52:010:52:07

Then maybe this is the start of something.

0:52:100:52:12

Something good.

0:52:140:52:16

Maybe?

0:52:190:52:20

Are you sure about what you told me, Charlie? About my club?

0:52:230:52:26

Yeah, I'm sorry.

0:52:280:52:29

Don't be sorry, mate. Compulsory purchase job. Market price.

0:52:290:52:36

I'm out of the woods. Nice one.

0:52:360:52:38

Oh, that bomb is the gift that just keeps on giving!

0:52:400:52:43

That was nice. What you said.

0:53:140:53:18

What you tried to say. Whatever it meant.

0:53:180:53:20

Thanks.

0:53:240:53:26

It was hardly, "I have a dream", you know, but, erm...

0:53:280:53:31

We can sort this all out, you know.

0:53:330:53:36

The money stuff, at least.

0:53:360:53:39

Can we?

0:53:390:53:40

I think we can.

0:53:400:53:41

I've got an idea.

0:53:430:53:45

'Claire remortgaged the house

0:53:490:53:50

'and set about turning Cottons back into what it was good at.

0:53:500:53:55

'In her first year as boss, Claire won Economy Wine Gum of the Year

0:53:550:53:59

'at the North West Confectionery Awards.

0:53:590:54:01

'Robbo used his compulsory purchase windfall to fund a PHD on

0:54:030:54:08

'the Philosophy of Ecstasy at the University of Salford.

0:54:080:54:11

'Louise and Newell finally got married in a low key ceremony

0:54:120:54:15

'at Stockport Registry Office.

0:54:150:54:18

'Louise lost her seat in the 2001 General Election

0:54:180:54:21

'to her ex-husband, Peter.

0:54:210:54:22

'Samuel gave up fried breakfasts for good and became a health fanatic.

0:54:240:54:29

'He's still a miserable bastard.

0:54:290:54:31

'Ryan served his country with distinction in Afghanistan -

0:54:320:54:36

'spending most of his time destroying opium crops.

0:54:360:54:39

'And Charlie made a fortune in something called

0:54:410:54:43

'"collateralised debt obligations" - he didn't understand it either.

0:54:430:54:48

'Edie passed away in her sleep.

0:54:520:54:54

'Her dying words were, "Keep that priest away from me!"'

0:54:540:54:58

DOORBELL RINGS

0:55:090:55:11

Hello.

0:55:170:55:19

Present for you.

0:55:200:55:21

It's the diary.

0:55:240:55:25

Remember when I was in hospital

0:55:260:55:29

and you asked me to go back and write everything down?

0:55:290:55:32

I didn't think you'd actually do it.

0:55:330:55:35

I only asked you to do it because it was the worst thing I could think of.

0:55:350:55:38

Yeah, well, I did it.

0:55:380:55:40

Look, you don't have to read it, you know, if it's too painful.

0:55:400:55:44

No, no. I will...

0:55:440:55:46

It starts with the bomb.

0:55:480:55:49

Of course it does.

0:55:490:55:51

And it's all true.

0:55:510:55:52

That'll make a change.

0:55:520:55:53

Have you written about the bit where you reach down inside me

0:55:580:56:00

and rip out my heart?

0:56:000:56:01

Is that what I did?

0:56:060:56:08

Yeah, that's what you did.

0:56:130:56:14

Didn't you know?

0:56:170:56:19

So...

0:56:290:56:30

How does it end?

0:56:320:56:33

I don't know yet.

0:56:380:56:39

Robbo says that, from time to time,

0:57:350:57:40

bad shit can,

0:57:400:57:42

by complete accident,

0:57:420:57:45

cause good shit to happen.

0:57:450:57:47

Well, if that's your attempt at a kiss and make up speech,

0:57:480:57:51

you're going to have to work harder than that.

0:57:510:57:53

Right.

0:57:560:57:57

I'll try.

0:57:580:58:00

# Above there are no stars tonight

0:58:010:58:04

# Just northern skies

0:58:040:58:05

# Reflected light upon your face

0:58:050:58:08

# Some people think stars rule our lives

0:58:120:58:14

# Some people they think otherwise

0:58:140:58:16

# They can be replaced

0:58:160:58:19

# Where did you go on that big black night?

0:58:210:58:25

# Did you take the coast road back through your life?

0:58:260:58:31

# See the sand, the moon, the stars that shine the light

0:58:310:58:34

# And say, well, they'll do all right for me?

0:58:340:58:37

# We shroud our lives in mysteries

0:58:420:58:45

# Shooting stars and storming seas if we

0:58:450:58:48

# Have any sense

0:58:490:58:50

# Storm clouds roll, they're free to break

0:58:530:58:55

# And we're free to make... #
