0:00:28 > 0:00:30Morning.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Didn't think you'd still here.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36Thought you'd be off to school by now.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41- Cab's late.- Oh, right.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43Probably caught up in that demonstration.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Which is, in actual fact, a bunch of troublemakers

0:00:46 > 0:00:47blocking up the main road.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Grab your stuff, I'll give you a lift.

0:00:50 > 0:00:51No...thanks.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53It's no problem. You don't want to be late.

0:01:01 > 0:01:02I do get it, you know.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06I didn't want to go to school when I was your age either.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09Thing is, Barney, education is important.

0:01:11 > 0:01:15One way of turning your life around is to go to school,

0:01:15 > 0:01:17work hard, get some qualifications.

0:01:19 > 0:01:20We're here to help, you know?

0:01:22 > 0:01:24If you have any problems with anything,

0:01:24 > 0:01:28with your homework, with anything, just ask.

0:01:28 > 0:01:29Hmm?

0:01:32 > 0:01:33So, how about that lift?

0:01:34 > 0:01:36PHONE BEEPS

0:01:36 > 0:01:37Cab's outside.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48I am so sorry for the wait.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Three members of staff got caught up in the protests

0:01:50 > 0:01:51on their way to work.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53Perhaps you should take it up with the anti-capitalists?

0:01:55 > 0:01:56Kirsty!

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Valerie!

0:01:58 > 0:01:59Do you work here?

0:01:59 > 0:02:03I've actually provided temporary cover for a number of years,

0:02:03 > 0:02:05but when the Mill heard that I was available,

0:02:05 > 0:02:07they begged me to come back.

0:02:07 > 0:02:08How are you?

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Traumatised.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13Things have gone from bad to worse since the agency folded.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16What with you and that snake Dylan.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18I hope he gets banged up.

0:02:18 > 0:02:19Well, if you'd like to take a seat?

0:02:19 > 0:02:22No, I've got an appointment in a minute.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Ah, there will be a delay.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Probably about half an hour.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29It's not Dr Carter's fault. He's normally very punctual.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32I just walked four miles to get here.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34I had to run the last bit to get here on time.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36I was nearly late myself this morning.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Fortunately, I managed to drive past the protestors before they

0:02:39 > 0:02:41managed to block the carriageway.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44And look on the bright side - a good cardiovascular workout

0:02:44 > 0:02:45is never a waste.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47I have to walk everywhere these days.

0:02:47 > 0:02:48You should see me blisters.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51I'm literally sloshing around in my own blood.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54I need a new pair of trainers, but I can barely afford to eat.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57I'm down to my last £5 and that's to cover my bus fare

0:02:57 > 0:03:01to an interview, but the company's miles away - job centre don't care

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Oh, look, there's a seat free.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06I have filled out 104 application forms this month.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Do you know how many interviews I've had?

0:03:10 > 0:03:11Two.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13When you blew the whistle,

0:03:13 > 0:03:18my life tumbled into a morass of debt and despair.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20Well, I am very sorry,

0:03:20 > 0:03:22but I did feel it was my public duty to

0:03:22 > 0:03:25expose illegal and unethical practices.

0:03:30 > 0:03:31KNOCK ON DOOR

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Come in.

0:03:33 > 0:03:34Protest's over.

0:03:34 > 0:03:35For now.

0:03:35 > 0:03:39Hey, I hear that you are down for the school gig next week. Wow.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Throwing the new boy in at the deep end or what?

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Inspector asked me to volunteer.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46He heard about my amazing rapport with the Xbox generation.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49I could have done with a bit of that this morning over the Rice Krispies.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51New foster kid.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53You foster? Nice one.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Never had anyone look after me back in the day.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Nearly went off the rails a few times.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Well, that is exactly why we are doing it.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Trying to get in there before it's too late.

0:04:01 > 0:04:02PHONE RINGS

0:04:02 > 0:04:04Hollins.

0:04:05 > 0:04:06Yeah.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08OK, on our way.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12Gerry's Minimart has been done over again.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18- Yes, it's flared up again. - Have you been scratching it?

0:04:19 > 0:04:21It's itchy.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23And you are using the emollients?

0:04:23 > 0:04:24Religiously.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27At least I don't have to pay for them any more.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30OK, I can prescribe steroid creams and antihistamines.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32It's not infected at the moment -

0:04:32 > 0:04:33we need to keep it that way.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36Any idea what's triggered it this time?

0:04:36 > 0:04:37My crappy life?

0:04:37 > 0:04:38You're quite stressed?

0:04:38 > 0:04:43Stressed, broke, unemployed, isolated, abandoned.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45When Valerie ratted on Westmount,

0:04:45 > 0:04:46she threw the rest of us to the wolves.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48I don't think that was her intention,

0:04:48 > 0:04:52but I can look into giving you some more support.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54- Yeah? - Counselling can be very effective.

0:04:54 > 0:04:55Counselling?

0:04:55 > 0:04:58What, to help me feel better about living on the breadline?

0:04:59 > 0:05:01It's not me that needs fixing, it's the system.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06It's going to take about half an hour to clear the backlog.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08I'm ever so sorry.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11TELEPHONE RINGS Oh, two ticks, I'll just...

0:05:14 > 0:05:15Hello?

0:05:16 > 0:05:17Yeah, speaking.

0:05:19 > 0:05:20What?

0:05:22 > 0:05:24No, he should be there!

0:05:24 > 0:05:25I'll just call my husband.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29What's wrong?

0:05:29 > 0:05:30Barney hasn't turned up for school.

0:05:34 > 0:05:35Answer your flipping phone!

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Do you mind if I...?

0:05:39 > 0:05:40Well, it's official.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43My recent unemployment's caused my eczema to erupt.

0:05:43 > 0:05:44It's steroid cream for the...

0:05:44 > 0:05:47I would really love to chat, but I've got a gigantic backlog

0:05:47 > 0:05:50and my colleague's just having a family emergency.

0:05:50 > 0:05:51- Bye, then.- Bye.

0:05:57 > 0:05:58Have you seen Emma?

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Not since giving her a lift in. It's been manic.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Did she say anything about the car?

0:06:02 > 0:06:03Touchy subject.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06OK. Well, have you got a minute, cos I want to run something by her?

0:06:06 > 0:06:07What, have you found a buyer?

0:06:07 > 0:06:10Yeah. Online. I mean, she's still going to take a huge hit,

0:06:10 > 0:06:11but he's offering way more than anyone else.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13I just wasn't sure whether to mention it or not,

0:06:13 > 0:06:15cos I really don't think she's in the right place to make

0:06:15 > 0:06:17a decision like that right now.

0:06:17 > 0:06:18I've tried his mobile!

0:06:18 > 0:06:21Will you just get him on the radio and tell him to call his wife?

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Hmm, what was all that about?

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Well, we're getting there, but it's not been easy.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30Single-handedly completely reorganising morning surgery.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Where is Mrs Hollins?

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Her foster child has gone awol.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37She is in no fit state to deal with crotchety patien...

0:06:39 > 0:06:40Kirsty.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42I've missed my bus.

0:06:42 > 0:06:43What am I going to do?

0:06:43 > 0:06:44Wait for the next one?

0:06:44 > 0:06:46I'm going to miss my interview.

0:06:46 > 0:06:47The job centre'll sanction me.

0:06:49 > 0:06:50I don't want to point fingers,

0:06:50 > 0:06:52but if I'd been seen by the doctor at the proper time,

0:06:52 > 0:06:54then I would not be in this situation.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Mrs Tembe, given the circumstances,

0:06:59 > 0:07:02perhaps the Mill could stump up for a taxi?

0:07:04 > 0:07:07I am sorry for the delay in your appointment.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Perhaps if you would like to come into my office,

0:07:09 > 0:07:11I will call the job centre and explain.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13No, I'm sorry, that's not good enough.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15My benefits are in jeopardy.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17And there's a 30-minute wait for a cab.

0:07:17 > 0:07:18Do not worry.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Once they are aware of the circumstances,

0:07:20 > 0:07:22I'm sure they will understand.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24When did you last sign on?

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Excuse me, I do not think that is relevant.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Oh, but it is relevant.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30You have no idea what it's like to be at the mercy of

0:07:30 > 0:07:33a government department run by sadistic robots.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37Valerie can give me a lift.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Right. Well, that is settled.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41You can take an early lunch.

0:07:45 > 0:07:46We'll be in touch.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Shopkeeper didn't see anything.

0:07:59 > 0:08:00Great.

0:08:00 > 0:08:01He was in the back.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05Heard a crashing noise, came out to find stock all over the floor,

0:08:05 > 0:08:06mainly just tobacco products.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09Till was open, about 40 in notes gone.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11It's an opportunist after cash and tobacco.

0:08:11 > 0:08:12Looks like it.

0:08:12 > 0:08:13Any joy?

0:08:13 > 0:08:15The woman on the till saw a black lad

0:08:15 > 0:08:17carrying a bin-bag run past her window.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20Male, mid-teens, dark clothes.

0:08:20 > 0:08:21Narrows it down.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25Yeah, but he was running towards the square, which is wall-to-wall CCTV.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28There can't be that many bin-bag toting teenagers running round

0:08:28 > 0:08:30at 11 in the morning.

0:08:30 > 0:08:31Let's make a move, then.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Good luck, then.

0:08:36 > 0:08:37I'd better be going.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Will you wait?

0:08:39 > 0:08:40You're here now.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43I'll be 20 minutes, tops.

0:08:43 > 0:08:44I've got to get back to work.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46Your boss'll be all right. She was really apologetic.

0:08:48 > 0:08:49Well, I suppose.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53Do I look like a pauper? Be honest?

0:08:53 > 0:08:54Not like a pauper.

0:08:55 > 0:08:56Right.

0:08:58 > 0:08:59Let's get this over with.

0:08:59 > 0:09:03Erm, Kirsty, that is not a very good attitude.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05You don't want the interviewer to think he's putting you

0:09:05 > 0:09:06through some hideous ordeal.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08It is a hideous ordeal.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10Anyway, my attitude doesn't matter.

0:09:10 > 0:09:11I'm not going to get the job.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14- I'm only going, so they don't cut me benefits.- Do you want this job?

0:09:14 > 0:09:15Of course!

0:09:16 > 0:09:17- But...- No!

0:09:17 > 0:09:19No "buts", Kirsty.

0:09:19 > 0:09:20If you want this job,

0:09:20 > 0:09:22you go in there and you show them how much you want it.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25And then you make them want you.

0:09:25 > 0:09:26- Make them want me?- Mm.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29So, what are you going to do?

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Big meself up.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34Oh, and I wouldn't mention the morass of debt and despair.

0:09:37 > 0:09:38Kirsty Roland, please.

0:09:47 > 0:09:48Karen.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Karen, are you talking to me now?

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Right, I'm sorry I didn't get back to you.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Don't worry, I'm sure he's fine.

0:09:59 > 0:10:00Sarge?

0:10:06 > 0:10:07Yeah, I'm still here.

0:10:09 > 0:10:10There's been a development.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16- Thank you very much.- Thank you.

0:10:16 > 0:10:17You got it?

0:10:17 > 0:10:19Subject to me references checking out.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Which they will.

0:10:21 > 0:10:22"Doctor" Pitman.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24What have you done?

0:10:24 > 0:10:25Well, you're my referee.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27I gave you a promotion. I hope you don't mind,

0:10:27 > 0:10:30but high praise sounds much better coming from a doctor.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32I know it's not true, but they'll never find out.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Don't worry, I'll write it.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38You just have to print it on headed notepaper.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40No, but you would never do that, because that's dishonest.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42How am I supposed to get a job without references?

0:10:42 > 0:10:44There's no point me asking Dylan?

0:10:44 > 0:10:45He's a master criminal on the run.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48Yeah, but lying isn't the answer.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50What do you think they do in call centres?

0:10:50 > 0:10:53They tell porkies to the unsuspecting public.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55I'll be selling dubious products to grannies -

0:10:55 > 0:10:57being flexible with the truth will be an asset.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59She doesn't mean it.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Me, "a deceitful, unprincipled, menace"?

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Who does he think he is?

0:11:10 > 0:11:11I don't want his stupid job anyway.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13You shouldn't have lied.

0:11:13 > 0:11:14It was your idea!

0:11:14 > 0:11:16"Make them want me", "big meself up".

0:11:16 > 0:11:20Look, enhancing your skills and experience is not the same thing as

0:11:20 > 0:11:22conjuring a completely fictional CV out of thin air.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24You said to demonstrate my creativity.

0:11:28 > 0:11:29Oh, I've gone dizzy.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33I know what it is.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35It's hypoglycaemia.

0:11:35 > 0:11:36I haven't eaten for 24 hours.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43I would kill to own a car like that.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45You're right, she's not thinking straight.

0:11:45 > 0:11:46She should definitely keep it.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48Right. So, now we just need to convince her.

0:11:48 > 0:11:49Hmm.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53Sid.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56There's something I wanted to talk to you about.

0:11:56 > 0:11:57Right.

0:11:57 > 0:11:58Sounds ominous.

0:11:58 > 0:11:59Go on, then.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02Well, it doesn't change anything between you and me.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05Like, we're still friends and everything.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07Right, now you really are making me nervous. What is it?

0:12:07 > 0:12:09I've been seeing someone.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12So? What's the big deal?

0:12:12 > 0:12:13You don't mind?

0:12:13 > 0:12:17Of course I don't mind, I'm pleased for you. Why would I mind?

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Well, you were acting pretty weird when you thought I was sleeping with Jimmi.

0:12:20 > 0:12:21I wasn't acting weird.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24I was trying to act normal - it just came out weird.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27Right.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29So, who is he?

0:12:29 > 0:12:31His name's Seb.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33And?

0:12:33 > 0:12:34Where did you find him?

0:12:34 > 0:12:35Beboxalula.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37- What? - It's like boxing to keep fit.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40Emma and I joined the classes when you were on holiday and

0:12:40 > 0:12:41Seb's the instructor.

0:12:43 > 0:12:44Bet he's a bit of a laugh.

0:12:44 > 0:12:45Yeah, he's all right.

0:12:47 > 0:12:48Bit boring.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Boring? In what way?

0:12:51 > 0:12:53Oh, I don't know. It's probably just me.

0:12:53 > 0:12:57Emma reckons I find fault with every man who darkens my door.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59She hasn't lost all her faculties, then.

0:13:01 > 0:13:02Sorry.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06No sign of him. Surprise, surprise.

0:13:06 > 0:13:07Nothing in his room.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09- Don't you need a warrant?- Funny.

0:13:09 > 0:13:10Sorry.

0:13:10 > 0:13:11I thought he was up to something.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14So where next? Where does he hang out?

0:13:14 > 0:13:15I don't know. He's not from round here.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17He only moved in last week.

0:13:17 > 0:13:18OK.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20So, he's heading to a place he knows,

0:13:20 > 0:13:22or he's going to stash the stuff near yours.

0:13:22 > 0:13:23Oh, yeah. He'll want to keep it close to him.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25There's a park down the road,

0:13:25 > 0:13:27plenty of places to hide stuff - and we can check the underpass.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Your new friend rang again.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35Yeah, that one.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37She wants you to call her back.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39I just dropped her off. What did she want?

0:13:39 > 0:13:41She didn't say, she just said it was urgent.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51She's just going to ring reception again.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53Well, maybe you could be on phone duty this afternoon.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55Valerie, deal with it.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Please?- Make the call.

0:13:58 > 0:14:02I've got a foster child who's on a crime spree and

0:14:02 > 0:14:04Rob's got steam coming out his ears.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06I'm not fielding your calls all day!

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Good afternoon, Mill Health Centre, can I help you?

0:14:17 > 0:14:18One moment.

0:14:22 > 0:14:27- FAKES ACCENT:- Oh, I'm sorry, Valerie's in meetings all afternoon.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29I'll give her the message.

0:14:29 > 0:14:30Bye.

0:14:39 > 0:14:40Nothing.

0:14:40 > 0:14:41THE SWEENEY RINGTONE

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Excuse me, I'll get this.

0:14:47 > 0:14:48Have you found him?

0:14:48 > 0:14:49I said I would call.

0:14:49 > 0:14:50It's been hours!

0:14:50 > 0:14:51Karen, I know how long it's been.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Have you checked home?- Yes.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56And I'll check it again in a bit.

0:14:56 > 0:14:57Well, I could try and get off early.

0:14:57 > 0:14:58No, don't do that.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00There's no point both of us running around in circles.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03I'll get back to you when there's any news, OK? Bye.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06Any empty buildings nearby?

0:15:06 > 0:15:07Building sites?

0:15:08 > 0:15:09There are, actually.

0:15:14 > 0:15:15Children can be such a worry.

0:15:15 > 0:15:16KNOCKING

0:15:16 > 0:15:18Told you you should've called her back.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20KNOCKING CONTINUES

0:15:29 > 0:15:30I've been evicted.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33Landlords can't evict people willy-nilly. Tenants have rights.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35He's changing the locks as we speak.

0:15:35 > 0:15:36Well, you'd better speak to citizens' advice.

0:15:36 > 0:15:40He can't just chuck you out on the street, not without a court order.

0:15:40 > 0:15:41It's in there, somewhere.

0:15:45 > 0:15:46It's been going on for months.

0:15:46 > 0:15:47Well, I didn't know, did I?

0:15:47 > 0:15:50I only opened them when he turned up with his goons.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52I hate bad news.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54Well, you're going to have to phone the council.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56I've used up all me credit leaving messages for you.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01£12.50 for the taxi.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05Could you pay him? You know how I'm fixed.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11# I don't want to go to school

0:16:11 > 0:16:14# I don't want to take the call

0:16:14 > 0:16:17# I just want to be a fool and

0:16:17 > 0:16:18# Get lovesick with you! #

0:16:20 > 0:16:21Sarge?

0:16:23 > 0:16:25SINGING CONTINUES

0:16:36 > 0:16:37Miss Rowland?

0:16:37 > 0:16:41Oh, hello, Dr Carter. I was just looking for the biscuits?

0:16:41 > 0:16:43This is the staffroom.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45What are you doing in here?

0:16:45 > 0:16:47- Valerie's trying to find me somewhere to live.- Ah.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50- Unfortunately, I was evicted at lunchtime.- Oh.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53A mix-up with the rent. I missed a few payments.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56Landlords can be so unforgiving about that sort of thing,

0:16:56 > 0:16:58and, as you know, my precarious financial situation

0:16:58 > 0:17:01was precipitated by events beyond my control.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03Good news! I have found you a place at a hostel.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05Excuse me?

0:17:07 > 0:17:08Oh, no. Erm, I...

0:17:08 > 0:17:13I'm sorry. I don't want to be ungrateful, but I can't stay there.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15It's a zoo.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17No, it's not a zoo, it's worse than a zoo.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19It's a sewer.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21A dumping ground for dregs.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24Lowlifes coming out of prison - or on their way in.

0:17:24 > 0:17:25But the lady in the housing department

0:17:25 > 0:17:27assured me it was suitable.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29She said all the rooms had been refurbished,

0:17:29 > 0:17:32new carpets throughout, fitted storage.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35Valerie, what use are fitted wardrobes if I have my throat cut?

0:17:37 > 0:17:42I might as well sleep in a wheelie bin down the rec.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Well, you can't sleep in a wheelie bin.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Why not?

0:17:46 > 0:17:48I'm no better than trash.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52Surely somebody could put you up for a couple of nights?

0:17:52 > 0:17:53A friend?

0:17:54 > 0:17:57Oh, not me. I...cos...

0:17:57 > 0:17:58Well, I'm not in a position to...

0:18:00 > 0:18:02Well, if the worst comes to the worst...

0:18:02 > 0:18:03On a temporary basis.

0:18:03 > 0:18:04Oh, thank you!

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Thank you! Oh, you're a rock.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10So, are we talking sofa bed or do you have a spare room?

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Leave me alone!

0:18:22 > 0:18:24What were you trying to prove, hmm?

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Stealing on my patch!

0:18:26 > 0:18:29Do you think you're a hard man, do you? Well, you're not.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32You're not a hard man, but where you are heading, they ARE hard men.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34They're harder and bigger than you.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36- Sarge?- Do you want to be locked up?!

0:18:36 > 0:18:39Because, if you are locked up, you are on a very slippery slope!

0:18:39 > 0:18:41- Sarge, you're scaring him. - Yes, he should be scared.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45Because you're throwing your life away.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47You're throwing your life away for no good reason.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50He has his reasons.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00This fruit salad's out of date. Perhaps someone should eat it?

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Well, it's Ayesha's. Ayesha should eat it.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Bet it gets thrown away.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09If people knew what it's like to be hungry all the time,

0:19:09 > 0:19:10they wouldn't be so wasteful.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13I know you've had a hard time of it recently,

0:19:13 > 0:19:15but you are letting it get under your skin.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18Semi-starvation and homelessness would get under your skin, too.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21It probably would, but I like to think I'd do something about it.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23- Such as?- Fight back.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27When fate decrees that you're a loser, when the establishment grinds

0:19:27 > 0:19:30you down, do you want to cling to the nearest rock and wait to

0:19:30 > 0:19:35be crushed or do you want to fly into action, defending what's yours?

0:19:35 > 0:19:37I haven't got anything to defend any more.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41Anyway, I don't like fighting. I might get injured.

0:19:41 > 0:19:42Fortune favours the brave, Kirsty.

0:19:45 > 0:19:49Hermit crabs are soft and exposed, just like you.

0:19:49 > 0:19:53But do they sit around waiting to be squashed or eaten? No.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56No, they don't. They seek out an abandoned shell to shield

0:19:56 > 0:19:59their vulnerable parts and then they sally forth into the world,

0:19:59 > 0:20:03waving their awesome claws and eviscerating their enemies.

0:20:04 > 0:20:05Are you a limpet or a crab?

0:20:07 > 0:20:09I think we should discuss this further.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12Over a takeaway.

0:20:12 > 0:20:13Is there a decent Chinese near yours?

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Look, you're too close to this.

0:20:18 > 0:20:22Let the missus know what's going on, I'll talk to him.

0:20:22 > 0:20:23Hmm.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40Barney?

0:20:40 > 0:20:41I'm Tyler.

0:20:44 > 0:20:45How did you know?

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Mate of mine died from this stuff.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53I wasn't always a copper, you know?

0:20:54 > 0:20:57Back, where I'm from, kids end up inside, not on the force.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05Me and my mate Dano thought we were invincible.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08Until he started on this.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11One slip up, that's all it takes.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14Dead at 13.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17You've got a chance to knock this on the head.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19You've got some people who really care about you.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24I know he's a angry now, but he cares and so does Karen.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27There's still time to put this right, mate.

0:21:41 > 0:21:42Good lad.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47Come on.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49- Where we going?- The station.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00I just think it would be better coming from you, that's all.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02Sid, I'll put my foot in it.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04You'll put your foot in it? You know I ramble when I'm nervous.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06I'm bound to say something out of order.

0:22:06 > 0:22:07I've never felt so stressed and it's over

0:22:07 > 0:22:09a stupid car and it's not even mine.

0:22:09 > 0:22:13- I take it we're talking about my stupid car, then.- Emma!

0:22:13 > 0:22:15It's not stupid. It's gorgeous.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18It's just you can't sell it.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20It lost a quarter of its value the moment you drove it.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22That's thousands of pounds down the drain!

0:22:22 > 0:22:26We've been talking and we both agree - you have to keep the car.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Oh, if that's what you think.

0:22:28 > 0:22:29I really don't care.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33I'm so glad you changed you mind.

0:22:33 > 0:22:34No, nothing's changed.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Keep it, sell it, it's all the same to me.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38As long as I don't have to look at it,

0:22:38 > 0:22:39it can sit and rot on the driveway.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45Have you any idea what you've done?

0:22:47 > 0:22:48Because, at the moment,

0:22:48 > 0:22:51your fate is in the hands of a very upset shopkeeper.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54And if PC Green can't talk him round, then you will face charges.

0:22:54 > 0:22:58So, let's just hope that all he wants is his stock back

0:22:58 > 0:23:00and not a day out at the magistrates.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05Is any of this going in?

0:23:07 > 0:23:09- Barney?- Yes.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12Sorry.

0:23:12 > 0:23:13THE SWEENEY RINGTONE

0:23:18 > 0:23:19PC Green.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23OK, thank you.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27- CROWD CHANTS:- People, not profit! People, not profit!

0:23:31 > 0:23:33I've got nothing against Radio 4,

0:23:33 > 0:23:36but who wants to listen to current affairs first thing?

0:23:36 > 0:23:39Life's depressing enough without some animal-lover banging on

0:23:39 > 0:23:42about pig welfare when you're eating your full English.

0:23:42 > 0:23:43You're not vegetarian, are you?

0:23:45 > 0:23:46And as for Thought For The Day... Ugh!

0:23:48 > 0:23:50I thought they'd cleared this protest this morning.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53What is wrong with these people?

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Have they not got homes to go to?

0:23:59 > 0:24:00Where are you going?

0:24:00 > 0:24:02Awesome claws.

0:24:02 > 0:24:03Kirsty, don't! Just...

0:24:05 > 0:24:07- CROWD CHANTS:- People, not profit! People, not profit!

0:24:11 > 0:24:12Go on.

0:24:15 > 0:24:16Wait.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21Letting me down is one thing,

0:24:21 > 0:24:25because, with the job I do, I'm used to it, but Karen...

0:24:25 > 0:24:27She really likes you.

0:24:27 > 0:24:28I think you owe her an apology.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33Go, get out of me sight.

0:24:41 > 0:24:42Where is he?

0:24:42 > 0:24:44Upstairs.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46Karen.

0:24:46 > 0:24:47We need to talk first.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54- CHANTS CONTINUE:- People, not profit! People, not profit!

0:25:01 > 0:25:03People, not profit! People, not profit!

0:25:17 > 0:25:18RINGTONE

0:25:33 > 0:25:34Valerie.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36Look, sorry, if I'm interrupting.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39I'd would just appreciate an update, if it's not too much trouble.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42I'm just getting the lowdown on the AACBW -

0:25:42 > 0:25:44Anarchists and Anti-Capitalists for a Better World.

0:25:44 > 0:25:45They really are inspiring.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48Well, I'm glad you're having such a jolly time, but I'm going home.

0:25:48 > 0:25:50You see, this is your problem, Valerie.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52You have got so much invested in bricks and mortar,

0:25:52 > 0:25:54you're missing the bigger picture.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57Home is this planet, not your little rabbit hutch.

0:25:57 > 0:25:58I don't live in a rabbit hutch!

0:25:58 > 0:26:01Rabbit hutch, hamster cage, chicken run.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04The AACBW are not slaves to capitalism,

0:26:04 > 0:26:07subjugated by the promise of a salary, Valerie.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09Shout it, sister.

0:26:09 > 0:26:13They are not sedated into conforming by consumerism.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15They are not taking it lying down.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18They are sticking it to the powers that be.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22Sorry, my place is here...

0:26:22 > 0:26:24fighting for a better world!

0:26:27 > 0:26:28Thank you, thank you.

0:26:30 > 0:26:31You're not disappointed?

0:26:31 > 0:26:32I'll get your suitcase.

0:26:39 > 0:26:40Are you going to charge him?

0:26:40 > 0:26:43The shopkeeper said to deal with him "as we see fit".

0:26:46 > 0:26:48Why did he do it? Has he said?

0:26:48 > 0:26:50He's got problems.

0:26:50 > 0:26:51Serious problems.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53- Solvent abuse.- Oh!

0:26:53 > 0:26:56I thought it was about the cash, but I think that was just a bonus.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58- He was after the aerosols. - Why didn't Social Services tell us?

0:26:58 > 0:27:00I don't know!

0:27:00 > 0:27:01Why didn't I see it?

0:27:01 > 0:27:02Oh, Rob, not down to you.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05He's living under my roof! My young PC worked it out.

0:27:05 > 0:27:0830 years in the job and I can't see what's under my nose.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11What kind of officer does that make me?

0:27:11 > 0:27:12What kind of parent?

0:27:18 > 0:27:21If they find out that we're sleeping together, they'll fire both of us.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23So we DID sleep together?

0:27:23 > 0:27:24What?

0:27:24 > 0:27:26Did we?

0:27:26 > 0:27:28You are not an alcoholic.

0:27:28 > 0:27:29I am. I'm drunk now.

0:27:30 > 0:27:32- Eugh.- See?

0:27:32 > 0:27:34Look, if you're not going to say anything, I have other

0:27:34 > 0:27:36patients I need to see, so...

0:27:36 > 0:27:37Vomiting.

0:27:37 > 0:27:38You black out?

0:27:38 > 0:27:39I wouldn't mind a blackout.
