RECORD SKIPPING REPEATEDLY

Dad.

What you doing here, eh? You hiding!? You think you can hide from me?

-Don't hurt me!

-Why? Cos you're my son?

Jay...there's a boy I'd call mine. Because he knows family. But you?

-You're just a dirty little grass... who grassed his own dad!

-No! No!

Help me.

She ain't breathing. Have you called an ambulance?

Didn't see much point. Hit her pretty hard.

She's dead. You did this?!

Don't say that. She grassed me up.

You would have done the same. You was going to kill me then!

-You'd have done the same. Say it!

-I wasn't... I'd never do this.

But you was going to kill me! Say it!

-I'll call the Old Bill.

-No! Don't! Please! Just make it go away.

This? This will never, never go away!

She...she told the police that I lied. She told on me.

You deserved it, didn't ya?!

Then, so did she.

No! I didn't mean that, I didn't mean that.

I can't help you.

You have to.

This is why you're here. You're my dad.

You're my dad.

-ROSE:

-Heather?

Heather?

KNOCK AT DOOR

Heather?

Heather! It's me, Rose.

I'm sorry about our fight.

If you can hear me, love, come to Dot's!

We've got a surprise!

FRONT DOOR SHUTS

Why'd you do that?

Ain't you going to call the police?

Was it an accident?

She told the police that I lied to 'em. She even admitted it.

I had the photo...

She went down. I got this mad energy...

Did you have that with Stella?

MOBILE BLEEPS

Wedding?

Yeah. Heather and Andrew, they were getting married tomorrow.

Hev...

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Stop it! Why are you holding her hand?

Just the way I treated her. She just always took it.

You'll get life for this.

They can't.

I'm a juvenile.

But you ain't, are you? You're 16.

Today.

You ain't a kid anymore.

No, look, I'm sorry, all right? I'm really sorry.

I didn't mean to get so angry.

-Jay was here!

-Jay?

Yeah. He just bolted. He deserted her.

We've got to find him. Now.

I've got to go back to Ian's, they're expecting me. Birthday meal.

You ain't going back to Ian's. Ever.

Hey. I got your message.

-He's out, then?

-Calm down. I'm going to put her to bed.

-Sorry. But he is coming home?

-Be back any minute.

-We celebrating, then?

-Well, you got five minutes before I get him in that bedroom.

-Right.

-I've ordered a curry.

-D'you want me to go and pick it up?

-Yeah, please.

-I'm going to put her to bed.

-Right. Yeah, yeah. Anything to help.

-Shirl...only thing is...

-In me pocket.

-Excuse me.

-Thanks, Billy.

-Right.

Shall we go to bed? Yeah, come on.

GLASS SHATTERS

George.

-I didn't know. I swear I didn't know he was here.

-No, no, no...

-I didn't know he was in there!

-Shut up a minute.

-But what if he gets out, comes in here?

-He's asleep! Get that frame.

I didn't know he was in there. I wouldn't have done it otherwise, I promise.

Just get out in the hallway. Get in the hall.

Don't touch anything, we'll come back for him later.

Shove your hands in your pockets. And don't look back!

Jay, mate, it's Phil. Just... give me a call when you get this, OK?

Just...just give me a call.

Phil! Phil! You OK?

You all right?

What's this then?

Well, I'm out, ain't I? And he...he saw sense.

Right. Well, you're not going to forgive him, are you?

I'm going to hear him out.

Phil, Shirley's having a party and she is not going to have him in the house.

-We'll go to the Arches instead. Come on.

-I didn't mean for it to get this far. I just got mad.

-I went down the nick. You lied to my face.

-I just want things to go back to the way they were.

-What, like before, when you was part of this family?

-We done here or what?

Wait. Wait. OK, look. You're out. And we...

we will sort the rest somehow, OK?

Deal? Come on.

SHE LAUGHS

-You don't do things by halves, do you?

-Tell Shirley to start without us, yeah?

-Yeah.

-Do you think she knew something was up?

-I dunno.

Get that off. Get it off and dump it in that bin.

SHIVERING

Hello?

Hello?

Jay. Jay, mate, you must be freezing. You must be freezing.

Come on, come on. Get up, get up. Come on. Get up.

Let's get this on, yeah? There you go, mate. There you go.

All right?

She was just like Dad. Just really still.

No. No, no, no. Cos I was passing...yeah?

And I saw the lights on, and I found you...you and Ben... working on a car.

-DISTANT SIRENS Yeah?

-Are the police here?

Forget them. Forget them. You've just been working on a car. All right?

I came in, I wanted to knock him out, but you said no, that we was family.

You wouldn't let me. That we don't fight, yeah?

No matter who's said what or done what, we stick together. Yeah?

I tried to stop him.

-You can shut up, you were there an' all!

-Just get changed. All right?

Come on, son. Come on, son. Shut them thoughts out.

Yeah? Because you weren't there, all right?

OK?

Dump that in the canal.

Make sure no-one sees.

Listen, I need you to nod, OK?

So's I know you're with me. We've gotta go down this road because...the other one's bad.

All right?

-What about the police?

-You've just been here. Just been here talking.

We've all been here talking. All right? And now we've got to go home.

Shirley's having a party, and we don't want to miss that, do we?

But I need you to nod. So's I know... OK?

Yeah?

Just nod.

Good man. Now, come on. Come on, let's get you washed.

Come on.

MOBILE BLEEPS

'You have one message.

'Shirl? Look, I know you're still mad at me, but I just wanted to say that...

'KNOCKING

'Oh, that's Andrew. I'm not even ready yet! Just give me a minute, yeah?'

Yeah, I'll wait while you answer the door, shall I?

-Took them ages to do this lot.

-I think Phil's taking the scenic route anyway.

-Oh, right.

-What's the matter with her?

-She's excited about seeing Phil. Ain't ya?

-I've got nothing better to do.

-Oh. Here, change.

-Ta.

I've just seen Phil.

With Ben.

DOOR OPENS

-You was quick.

-Well, I weighed it down proper.

Right. What now?

Now we go home.

-First thing he does when he gets out is sees Ben?

-It was weird.

We need to find them. Phil will do something stupid.

-He hasn't rang me. Hasn't texted me.

-He said he wouldn't be long.

-Lola, please...

-Er, my baby likes it? It's soothing.

-Bill, he just wanted to talk to him, honestly.

-Well, Phil ain't much of a talker, is he?

I can't. I can't. They're going to know.

-George is on his own.

-Yeah, cos you killed his mum! Cos of you!

-Shut up, will you! Shut up!

We've got to go in there, act natural, all smiles, or we're done.

-It's impossible with him like that.

-I'll tell you what's impossible.

Anyone finding out what happened tonight, that's what impossible.

Because that woman was loved, and not just by Shirley.

If anyone finds out what happened you're going to be thought of as monsters.

Do you hear me? Monsters. And you'll be hunted.

Well...we'd better pull it off, then.

Get in there.

Shirl, I'm just saying Phil can lose his head.

DOOR OPENS I'm back.

Well, don't all rush at once, will ya?

-Never thought I'd see you in here again.

-Better get used to it.

Where's Ben?

He's here. And Jay.

Boys? Come in here.

Yeah, well, he's not staying.

Tonight's a celebration for your coming back. No dramas.

I've got to take responsibility. You know, I played my part in what he did as well.

There you are. See? That's good, innit, eh?

Welcome home, Phil.

Yeah. Yeah. Welcome home, Phil.

Another hug? Go on.

-All forgiven, is it?

-No. No, it's not. But...

he's here, he's sorry and...I'm starving.

Yep, well, two months of porridge can do that to a man, can't they?

Check out that little feast there! Jay, do me a favour, mate?

Come give us a hand.

Come on. And you. Come on.

Thanks, Billy.

So that's the...the warm welcome over and done with, then?

Looking a bit pasty there, Jay.

He had something dodgy to eat at lunchtime.

This ain't going to improve things, is it?!

Where's Hev? Not like her to miss a free meal.

-Well, it ain't, is it?

-She's not invited.

-Roxy, did you say anything to her?

-No.

Only I got this voicemail from her.

Listen, I just got out the nick

and for some reason my missus still ain't given me a kiss. Come here.

That cell's done something funny to your head.

-Is that definitely Phil in there?

-I'm still getting over the news that he ain't really a murderer.

You what?

You think that's funny, do you? Eh?

No, no, it was just a joke, wasn't it?

-Know what it's like, people looking at you like you're a murderer?

-Stop it!

I'm sorry, OK? It wasn't funny.

Jay. Sit down. We're meant to be celebrating.

Before we get this party started, where's the naan bread?

In the oven.

I'll get it.

This is going to be fun, isn't it?

-CUTLERY CLATTERS

-Oi, oi! Give me them, don't do that. I'll do it.

Don't, I'll do that.

'You have one message.'

Lola, a programme the other day was saying if you eat spicy food

when you're pregnant it sends your baby funny.

-Lola, he's having you on.

-Brian Cox was on it.

TV DROWNS OUT CONVERSATION

Ow! Ow! Ow! Here you are. Dig in. While they're still hot.

-They're not going to go cold, are they, Bill?

-No, they're not.

I don't care any more, I'm starving.

Oi, hold on a minute, manners! Wait till Phil sits down.

I'm celebrating an' all. It's my birthday, remember.

-You're an adult now.

-It's amazing how fast they grow up. One minute you're changing nappies...

The next minute they're testifying against you in court.

-How long till they can walk? Babies.

-Oh, yeah. About a year.

And by the time they're two they're like superheroes,

-they're running, jumping, walking, the lot.

-George is three.

-Mine's going to be a right little ninja.

-Lucky you got a grandmaster on hand, innit?

-It's hot in here. I've gotta get some air.

-Sit down.

Jay...not eating?

-He looks green.

-Jay, you all right, babe?

He's just looking forward to me moving back in, that's all.

Yeah, well, you're not moving back in.

-You can go stay at Ian's or Hev's.

-I'm going to be sick.

-Jay?

-Better not be catching.

-Lola, you cannot catch food poisoning.

You're starting to sound like one of them mothers down the nursery.

-You'll start listening to whale music next.

-No. Maybe a bit of dubstep though.

-Yeah!

-I'm going to go and see if Jay's all right.

-No. I'll go.

-No, no, Ben. Just enjoy your food, yeah?

-He's just trying to get out of the wedding, I bet you.

Heather, she's going to be so pleased to see you there!

-We should keep it as a secret.

-Yeah, don't tell her he's out, yeah?

-Yeah, well, there's no danger of that.

-We're not speaking.

-You've had a row? What about?

Does it matter?

I'm going to go check on Jay.

Yeah, Shirl, it does, if it's going to ruin her big day.

Oh, come on, give her a call. You know she's going to be sat at home all on her own

sobbing over her old copies of Smash Hits.

Can't have that, can we? SHE LAUGHS

Jay?

KNOCK AT DOOR

Bathroom's probably the best place if you want to have a puke.

JAY SOBS

Jay?

JAY SIGHS DEEPLY

Jay, what's that matter, mate?

She's not answering. Maybe I should go round there.

Yeah...yeah, maybe you should.

After everything that's happened, you get out and you see him first.

Who organised this? Who was the one waiting for you?

-Maybe we should go and let you sort this out.

-No, he should go!

-Maybe you should!

-Hey, hey, hey! Come on, stop, stop, please, stop.

You...are not going about this the right way.

Sit down.

Look, I know when you're with Phil you feel like you've got to act the big man all the time, don't ya?

It wears you down. Believe me, I've been there.

Sometimes you just want to let everything go...

Jay...you know he's not going back inside now, don't you?

He's out of trouble, if that's what you're worried about.

I can't believe he made it up with Ben.

He said we were family.

Oh(!) Family today, are we?

Phil...is ruthless, Jay.

Don't matter what he says,

don't matter how he tries to dress it up, all right?

So you...you just keep an eye on Ben, all right?

I'll give you some space.

-Bill.

-What?

I've got you, though, ain't I? Whatever happens.

What's going on?

Course you've got me.

Soppy. You're like my boy, ain't ya? Eh?

You're only out cos he couldn't hack it.

You let him in and he'll know you're always going to take him back.

-He nearly sent you down for years and now he's in there, stuffing his face!

-What can I do? Eh?

-You wanted to kill him this morning. Kick him out!

-He's my son.

And I'm your partner. I don't want to sleep alone because of him.

You don't have to.

Two months! Two months. D'you know how cold that was?

I was even going to bed in jumpers.

Yeah, well...you don't have to wear anything tonight.

-Look, Roxy, I'm sorry I left Amy on her own that time.

-Can we just forget that now, yeah? Thank you.

GLASS SHATTERS

No, no, no, stay, stay.

-I need to feel whatever's going on out there - here, in my own home - I'm OK.

-You've got that.

-No, I ain't. Not with him here. He's wrong in the head.

-You've got no idea.

Roxy got curry on it. I said I'd put it in the washing machine for her.

I, er...think I might go round and see Hev. See how she is.

-She ain't bitter like you.

-And she ain't a snake like you!

-You two need to talk.

-We've done our talking.

You need to talk, properly.

-I'm going to go get Hev. You know what you've got to do.

-You can't.

-Do you want a home?

-No, I don't mean that.

-You want to sleep in the Arches?

-I don't...mean that.

-Then what do you mean?!

I won't be long.

-I can't just let her go round there.

-What, and you can let me go prison?

Well, Shirley's gone to Heather's.

Oh, right. We'll have to hold fire on the pudding, then.

Yeah. She won't want to miss that.
