Tyler!

Someone!

Come on, let me through! Move!

-Tell me what happened.

-He must've collapsed, he was fitting.

-After the fight?

-I don't understand. He won.

You call this winning?

-I flaming well said, "Don't start the fight," didn't I?

-I told him,

"Stay down, take the count." But he wouldn't.

He kept getting up. I even threw the towel in. He ignored it.

We need an ambulance now!

-Come on, Tyler.

-Someone must have a phone!

Come on, son, speak to me. Open your eyes, son.

You happy now? You get what you want?

C'mon, son. I've seen fighters collapse before.

Some of them don't get back up, do they, Doc? I've seen it.

-Please. I'm doing the best that I can.

-Dad...

-Get out of my sight!

Tyler, come on, son. Come on, get up.

TELEVISION IS ON

You all right?

You got weird mates,

loving all that blood!

-They're all right.

-Arthur, they're all skanks.

You wanted that, right?

Funny how it can mean something and nothing

all at the same time.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS Hello, Whit.

Yeah, yeah, course. Yeah, course. All right, look, I got to bounce, babe.

Don't you go leaving me, Fats.

-I'm coming with you.

-No, you ain't.

-Yes, Dad.

Yes, I am. All right?

SIREN WAILS

-Should I get Eddie?

-He won't come, love.

-No?

No, not now.

Well...

not any time.

Sorry.

-If the worst happens, you're looking at jail for this.

-Look, just go home, yeah?

-Forget all about it.

-You serious? An unlicensed fight, no medical person present.

No-one will forget about it.

-Yeah, well, you're here now, ain't you?

-Which is already putting my career in jeopardy.

So, did you get all that?

You see what you've done?

You'll think of something.

-And you will too.

-I ain't in the mood, Jack.

-You know what you've done?

-Do you really want to talking to me about this now?!

Fair enough.

Just go and see Tyler. Go on.

-What's to see?

-You what?

I know he ain't going to make it.

It's the date, you see?

And the time of day.

When anything that's bad

can happen, will happen.

That's the rules.

He's gone.

Tyler Moon, age 23, collapsed after boxing match, witnessed fit.

GCS was five now eight. Pupils remained reactive.

-Pulse 88, BP 140/80, sats 98% oxygen.

-What does that mean? Speak English!

Dad, just leave.

-What?

-Dad, just let 'em do their job.

All right? Let 'em do what they got to do. Dad, just wait. Wait.

-Out of my way!

-Look, you can't help.

Can you? This is beyond us.

So just...just sit tight.

I'm sorry.

Don't turn away from me, Dad, please.

I just thought it'd make some decent money, that's all.

You bet against Tyler? What sort of brother are you?

Tyler's not a boxer, is he, Dad? Everyone knows it.

You're horrendous.

You can't be a son of mine.

You can't be.

I know I did a bad thing.

I do.

Dad...

Just say something to make it better.

Anything.

OK.

How's this?

You know what I'd like?

I'd like you to be lying in there instead of Tyler.

Could you do that?

Make yourself useful. You could replace him,

and me and Tyler, we could go home.

Can you do that, Anthony?

Make me happy?

Cos Tyler was in there fighting for us - you, me, Michael.

And all you could do was hope that he'd lose, so in my eyes...

..that makes you disgusting.

There you go, ladies and gentlemen.

Eddie Moon's guide to parenting.

Thanks for coming.

Go home.

I'm not going anywhere.

Go home.

Dad?

I don't want you here.

Go on, I'll fix it. It'll be all right.

Nine chimes...

What?

You heard.

Nine chimes...

when my mum topped herself.

It was nine o'clock. PM.

Do you know what time Tyler collapsed?

It's the same date...

Dad(!)

It's almost the same hour.

Can you imagine?

What are the odds?

It's like a sick joke, or something.

First Mum...

then Tyler...

Coincidence like you wouldn't believe.

I hate this world...

..sometimes.

Don't you?

So, it's for real, then? You and Eddie?

-There's nothing real about it.

-No?

-Why did you call me?

-I want answers.

-I thought you'd be at the hospital.

Hospital?! That might be where you're heading, but not me.

Has no-one told you?

Tyler's been hurt.

He collapsed after the fight. I thought you'd be there.

And why would you think that?

Because Eddie loves you.

-CAROL LAUGHS

-He does!

-What is it about women like you?

-Carol, just listen to me.

-You can't have it, can you?

Do you think that blokes like him liking women like me... Do you think you're more deserving?

He wants YOU.

He told me.

That's a really strange thing to share. How did that conversation come about, eh?

Were you in the Minute Mart, buying your groceries? Chatting over your veg?

-Would you listen!

-"Those sprouts look good." "Yeah, Vanessa.

-"In fact, everything looks good now cos I'm in love with Carol Jackson." I don't think so!

-He told me...

because he was explaining how he didn't want ME.

When did this start? Huh?

-Nothing started. Not...

-Was it before Max left?

Because, as I say, I know women like you. I know how your poisonous little minds work.

-You wanted to hurt him.

-Well, I may have done, but this has got nothing to do with that.

-Yeah?

So it's me, then? Because you knew that I never liked you - is that it?

You know, think what you want, but Eddie needs you.

If you'd seen the state of Tyler... He could die.

Did you sleep with him?

-And you sit there and tell me nothing started?!

-It didn't mean anything!

You know... I... Well, thank you, actually.

Cos you've stopped me from making a complete idiot of myself. Well...well, almost.

-Go to him, Carol.

-No, YOU go to him. And give him my best, all right?

Tell him that I hope that Tyler's all right but, to be honest, I really... I really don't care.

You don't mean that.

I do mean it! I so, so mean it. I hope he can hear me from here!

To think...to think that I dared to let him in, dared to believe in him!

I wish that when I first saw him, I didn't brake, I wish I'd put my foot on that accelerator!

-Get off!

-Liam...

-Get out!

-Please, just go back upstairs.

-Just get out!

-Carol, Eddie loves you...

-Just get her out, Liam.

-Just get out.

-I'm going, I'm going.

Believe what you want!

MUSIC BLARES Are you all right? Drink?

Help yourself, everybody, there's plenty!

PHONE RINGS

I thought I heard a party, didn't realise it was stud farm.

Come on in, girl. This is where it's at.

-This is the England

-I

-was thinking of. Bring it on! Ha!

SHRIEKING AND LAUGHTER

They never speak, these people.

Just hurry by, trying not to meet your eye.

Like that Yusef, turning up late for my boy.

I'm going to find that Artie Stiller.

-He's going to pay for this.

-It's not his fault, Dad.

-Course it is.

-No, it ain't.

-It was a fair fight.

-Fair? Guy was a brute.

-And he lost.

Don't forget that part. Tyler won.

-Yeah, I'm still going to find him.

-You don't see what's in front of you.

You've always got to find someone else to blame. You can't just hold your hands up

and say, "You know what? Fair play. It was me.

"I did it. Eddie Moon. I am the culprit here."

What do you expect me to do?

What more could I do?

I told Tyler - if you're hit, stay down.

You saw me screaming at him.

Yeah, and I saw a son who's so in awe of his father that he kept getting back up.

Because that's the way he's been bred. To worship you.

And the more he worships you, the more you love him. Am I right?

And he kept getting back up. because of you, Dad.

-That's just Tyler's way.

-What's Anthony's way?

-What's that idiot got to do with anything?

-What's his thing? Do you know?

What? Apart from gambling away all my cash?

Nothing.

That's his thing.

-After the way he treated me, what else could it be?

-No.

You're getting it wrong.

He wanted to win it for you,

just like Tyler did.

Look at the state he's left me in.

I'm up to my eyes in debt.

I had the money right here.

That waste of space just gambled it all away.

You can't call him that.

Can't I?

He's an addict, Michael.

Weak. He gets knocked down and he stays down.

And you don't pick him up, do you? You just leave him there, in the gutter.

That's a lesson we all have to learn. Stand or fall.

That's life, Michael.

I'm amazed he's made it this far.

I'm surprised he didn't join Mum.

-You have no idea how much I care for Anthony.

-Oh, I think I do.

And he didn't lose that money, really.

You did.

-Because you planted the seed.

-You're to blame as well.

-Hmm.

I was waiting for that.

-Blaming someone else again.

-Well, you're his half-brother.

-No.

You could've been around more. But you wasn't.

You are his dad. That's your job.

Michael...

Why are you doing this?

Why now?

Because I'm trying to show you that you have another son.

I'm trying to stop you from losing a son.

MUSIC BLARES OUT

I didn't think Lauren was ever going to find them car keys.

Does she have a phobia of driving?

Does she even drive that car?

Listen, Whit...

He's tough, all right?

You saw the way he kept getting back up. He's a fighter. A proper fighter.

He's like one of them Superman-type dudes.

-What am I doing here? I don't even like him.

-I know you don't.

He thinks he can just wind me up, like it's some great thing, I'm just going to fall at his feet.

-Like you'd ever do that.

-No.

No, I wouldn't. Not for any bloke.

-So do you want to go home?

-Did I say that?

-I'm just saying, you got options.

-If you want to stay, stay. Do what you want.

-Don't even know where he is.

-I could find out.

What's the point of that?!

Sorry.

I don't know what I'm thinking.

-Maybe you do like him.

-What?

-I'm just saying.

Course I don't.

Shall we go? There's nothing we can do, is there?

Really?

Yeah.

We'll find out either way.

You need to call the family.

His Mother, Frankie, everybody.

We're not losing him. It won't come to that.

It's meant to be, Dad.

I'm going to try to find someone.

-Don't bother. They'll come to us if they have any news. Trust me.

-Look at you.

Pretending you're calm when inside, you're as scared as me.

You reckon?

Yeah. Let it out, son.

You're all buttoned up.

Loosen up, show some emotion.

Don't kid yourself. I'm not here for Tyler.

Tyler's in the lap of the gods now.

I'm here because of you.

I got the message.

I slipped up with Anthony, I can repair that.

-Can't repair Mum, though, can you? You can't resurrect HER.

-You want to watch your mouth.

What colour were her eyes?

What?

They were blue, weren't they?

But then they turned grey.

Do you remember?

When she was lying there.

Colour just drained away.

-You're not helping, son.

-Oh, I'm not here to help.

Why don't you go home?

I'll give you a call if something happens...

..because I don't want you ever talking about your mother like that again.

-I know what you did. I know it's all your fault.

-Mine?

Yeah.

I know about that other kid.

There is no other kid.

I found your toolbox...

and I busted it open.

You had no right to do that.

And I found pictures. Some blonde piece.

She's all smiles. She's got this kid with her. And he looks like he's going to be a bit cheeky.

-He's got your eyes.

-No right at all.

Did Mum see those pictures?

Is that what tipped her over the edge?

It was, wasn't it?

It was. She saw those photos and she knew that you'd cheated on her, Dad.

-You cheated on her, and it broke her heart.

-No!

-Yes, it did.

It broke her heart and it killed her, Dad. It killed her.

-No. That didn't happen.

-Let's make a toast? I know you wanted to make one earlier,

but let's make a real one, a proper one.

Let's toast the man you really are. Not the face you present to the world,

but the monster that you hide away from everybody.

You don't know anything.

Tyler's going to get off lightly, I think.

I think he'll get off lightly.

It's me and Anthony, we're the ones who are lumbered with you.

My son, your brother, could be dying...

..so why are you doing this?

I am sorry.

I AM sorry.

You see me on my knees...

and you go for the throat?

What kind of monster does that make you?

I didn't make me...Dad. YOU made me.

Pat, I'm sorry that I left without explaining properly, but I just had to get away.

I'm going to go and stay with Sonia instead.

I just had to get going, Pat.

You're going to be all right looking after the kids, yeah?

And do us a favour, will you? Keep an eye on Liam. Cheers.

-Hey, hey. Those guys, they want your name.

-What,

-both of them?

-All you got to do is decide which one.

Me, personally, I'd probably have them both.

Hey! >

-Hands off!

-Steady!

-No, you go steady, babe.

My party, my rules.

So...you found me, then.

Hey...

He's all right, isn't he? Your brother? I mean...

you wouldn't be here, otherwise...

You wouldn't come to a party?

I think we're just about done now, Dad.

It's taken a while, but you've got nothing left, have you?

I mean, Carol, she's not even shown up. She's blown you out.

I wonder where she is.

Ms Halliday... How is he?

Well, Tyler remained unconscious, so we've anaesthetised him and we've sent him up to ITU.

-That's the Intensive Care Unit.

-So he's got worse?

The CT scan shows there's a small amount of bleeding between the brain and the skull.

This isn't putting pressure on the brain, which is encouraging,

so we're just keeping him under close observation.

So it's a waiting game?

-What do we do?

-Well, that's entirely up to you. You can wait,

-or you can go and sit with Tyler.

-Let's get to the point.

He will wake up?

As I say, we're keeping a very close eye on him.

I'm sorry I can't offer more.

I'd like to see him, sit with him.

By all means.

-You coming?

-No, you're all right.

You're terrifying.

You don't have a heart, do you?

If I'm going to get upset, I'm not going to do it in front of you.

I'm not going to let you have that. Go on.

Go and do what you do.

Carol...

I'll, um... I'll see you there. Tyler's just round to the right.

Come.

-We're allowed to sit with Tyler.

-No.

-No?

-I've been speaking with Vanessa. I called her.

-I needed to ask a few questions, get things straight.

-Carol, I need to go.

-Let's talk about it on the way.

-I know you're with her. I saw you.

-You can't have.

-Jack saw you too.

-No. Now you listen to me. That was...

-What?

It's you I want.

Liam's gutted, you know. I suppose you forgot about him in all the fuss.

Fuss!? My son's in there fighting for his life!

Yeah, and I'm fighting for mine, Eddie!

You came into my life, you made me feel so good, so right, and now you've snatched it away.

I haven't had the best of luck, and you knew that,

-and still you hurt me.

-I haven't done anything.

Do you know what you are? And that's the only reason I came here, to tell you,

to tell you to your face.

Only you know what you are. You're a monster. You're a fake, a cheat and a liar.

You care about one thing. You care about Eddie Moon.

-I hope you're happy with him, cos no-one else ever could be.

-Please...

I need you.

Have you any idea what I'm facing right now?

I hope that Tyler gets better. I really do.

But not for your sake. For his.

Because you're the cruellest kind of human there is.

You hurt every... everybody you touch.

I don't know what we did to deserve you, but I'm getting as far away from you as I can.

Carol!

What?

It's all right, he's still fighting.

He's gone for more tests.

Then why are you looking like that? All pale and ill.

Because...

-You wanted to know what I've been hiding all these years...

-I know already.

No. No, you don't. Trust me.

I'm going to tell you everything.
