Rob?

0:00:330:00:35

Rob, is that you?

DOOR RATTLES

0:00:470:00:50

SHE WHISPERS: Hi, is that the police?

0:00:530:00:56

Yeah, erm, a man's just tried to get into my house

0:00:560:00:59

and now he's heading round towards the garage.

0:00:590:01:02

Yeah, it's just that I'm at home alone with my two kids.

0:01:020:01:05

My husband's at a college reunion...

0:01:050:01:07

Sorry, it's just I'm in a bit of a panic.

0:01:070:01:10

It's Kate Dickenson.

0:01:100:01:11

It's 38 Springbank Road, and, please, can you get here

0:01:110:01:14

as quickly as you can?

0:01:140:01:15

And what makes you think he's an intruder?

0:01:150:01:17

Because I've just heard him trying the door handle of my house.

0:01:170:01:20

He is in my garden right now, trespassing on my property!

0:01:200:01:23

SHE GASPS

0:01:240:01:27

He's coming out of the garage

0:01:280:01:30

and he's heading towards the house again.

0:01:300:01:33

Do you know what?

0:01:330:01:35

Forget it, I've just found my husband's gun.

0:01:350:01:37

I'll deal with it myself.

0:01:370:01:38

Who is it, Mum?

0:01:460:01:47

I don't know, just go back to bed!

0:01:470:01:51

Mum?

0:01:510:01:52

Both of you, go back to bed!

0:01:520:01:55

GROANING

0:02:030:02:05

Kate, it's me!

0:02:050:02:07

GROANING

0:02:070:02:08

SIRENS BLARE

0:02:080:02:10

For God's sake! What the hell do you think you are doing?

0:02:100:02:14

You've broken me bloody hand!

0:02:140:02:16

Yeah, well, you were lucky it wasn't your head!

0:02:160:02:18

Mrs Dickenson, where's the gun?

0:02:180:02:20

I decided not to use it.

0:02:200:02:22

Actually, I just said that to get you here.

0:02:220:02:24

You do know it's against the law to give wrong information...?

0:02:240:02:26

Yeah, as it happens, this is my stepson, Liam.

0:02:260:02:29

-Hiya.

-Dad's back.

0:02:290:02:32

I couldn't find the key, it wasn't where Dad said it was.

0:02:320:02:34

Well, he could've been a mass murderer.

0:02:340:02:36

What's going on?

0:02:360:02:38

Your son decided to break into our house.

0:02:380:02:40

The keys weren't on top of the tyres.

0:02:400:02:42

I thought he was an intruder and I called the police.

0:02:420:02:44

It's my fault, I told him not to wake you

0:02:440:02:46

-because you had a big day tomorrow.

-Well, no, this morning!

0:02:460:02:48

Can I ask, have you got a licence for your gun, sir?

0:02:480:02:51

What gun? I don't have a gun.

0:02:510:02:53

For God's sake, I'm in the force. I'm a DS over at Westfield.

0:02:530:02:56

And what the hell's all this about a gun?

0:02:560:02:59

Yeah, I can... I can explain that.

0:03:000:03:02

I don't think any of them are broken,

0:03:060:03:08

you wouldn't be able to move them.

0:03:080:03:10

I think they're probably just badly bruised. Go on.

0:03:100:03:14

So what did your mother say when you told her you were staying with me?

0:03:160:03:19

-Nothing.

-You didn't tell her, did you?

0:03:190:03:21

She won't be bothered. She told me to piss off and never come back.

0:03:210:03:24

-Liam!

-She said she never wanted to see me again.

0:03:240:03:26

You know what she's like, she says things she doesn't mean.

0:03:260:03:28

And she gave up a lot so you could go to uni.

0:03:280:03:30

You can't just walk out because your girlfriend's fallen out with you.

0:03:300:03:33

-You can't just throw it away.

-I'm not throwing anything away.

0:03:330:03:35

Well, if she loves you, she'll still be there for you when you finish at Bristol.

0:03:350:03:39

I don't give a shit about my degree. I'm not going back.

0:03:390:03:41

Right, that's enough, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

0:03:410:03:43

You get some sleep.

0:03:430:03:45

I'll text Gill and let her know he's all right

0:03:450:03:47

and pull the bed out in Tom's room for him.

0:03:470:03:49

There's a spare duvet in Lucy's wardrobe, I'll go and get it.

0:03:490:03:52

Kate...

0:03:520:03:54

..I'm sorry I frightened you.

0:03:540:03:56

I'm sorry I whacked your hand.

0:03:560:03:58

MOBILE BEEPS

0:04:060:04:08

MOBILE BEEPS

0:04:100:04:12

Can we have a dog?

0:04:490:04:51

How many times do I have to tell you?

0:04:510:04:53

It wouldn't be fair on the dog, there's no-one to look after it.

0:04:530:04:55

Liam could look after him now he's living here.

0:04:550:04:57

We don't know how long Liam's staying.

0:04:570:04:59

Can Mia sleep over tonight?

0:04:590:05:00

No, because Liam has got the spare duvet.

0:05:000:05:02

-Have you get any more coffee beans?

-Next week.

0:05:020:05:04

-I haven't been shopping, just use instant.

-I hate instant.

0:05:040:05:07

It's not fair, you don't let me have anything!

0:05:070:05:09

I can't even be a vegetarian!

0:05:090:05:12

Did you take my trainers back?

0:05:120:05:13

Er, no, I haven't had time. I'll do it at the weekend.

0:05:130:05:16

-We've got sports this afternoon.

-Well, use your old ones.

0:05:160:05:18

-They're too small.

-I got blisters last time I wore them.

0:05:180:05:20

You told me you were a size nine, so that's what I got you.

0:05:200:05:23

-No, I didn't, I said my last pair were a nine. You never listen!

-What?

0:05:230:05:27

SHE EXHALES

0:05:270:05:28

If you'd said we needed coffee beans, I could've picked some up.

0:05:280:05:31

I can't do everything. I'm sick of trying to be bloody Superwoman.

0:05:310:05:35

Typical - there is no Superwoman. It's Wonder Woman!

0:05:350:05:37

I don't care who it is. Stop it!

0:05:370:05:41

Hey, do you know Lucy's passcode for her phone?

0:05:410:05:44

-How would I know?

-You know mine.

-No, I don't.

0:05:440:05:47

Yes, you do, or you wouldn't be able

0:05:470:05:49

to read all my e-mails and texts.

0:05:490:05:50

Was the lovely Anne-Marie there last night?

0:05:520:05:53

-Yeah, what's wrong with that?

-Did you do lots of catching up?

0:05:530:05:56

-Can I just say, I do not read your e-mails...

-She could use Tom's sleeping bag.

-Lucy, no! Not tonight.

0:05:560:06:01

Look, we've got a lot on at the moment.

0:06:010:06:03

And for the record, I did not stop you becoming a vegetarian,

0:06:030:06:05

-I just said...

-You don't care about what I think.

0:06:050:06:09

I've got stomach-ache.

0:06:150:06:17

Lucy, is there someone at school asking you to do

0:06:190:06:21

something you don't want to do?

0:06:210:06:23

No. That's a really weird thing to say.

0:06:230:06:25

I know sometimes I'm really busy, but I don't want you to think

0:06:250:06:28

-that you can't tell me things, because you can.

-I know that.

0:06:280:06:31

-I'm serious.

-She just trying to skive off.

0:06:310:06:33

I never say horrible things about you,

0:06:330:06:34

so why do you have to say horrible things about me?

0:06:340:06:36

-I hate all my family.

-Great, whatever.

0:06:360:06:39

Don't forget my trainers!

0:06:390:06:41

And if you know what's good for you,

0:06:410:06:42

you will get out of this car right now!

0:06:420:06:44

For God's sake, Mum, chill out!

0:06:440:06:47

MUSIC: Our Day Will Come by Amy Winehouse

0:06:560:07:02

Yeah, yeah, it's the...

0:07:230:07:25

The ones with a funny webbing thing on the side.

0:07:250:07:29

Yeah, that's it, size ten.

0:07:290:07:30

SHE MOUTHS: Sorry.

0:07:320:07:33

-Congratulations!

-Thank you!

0:07:330:07:35

Well, if you could just pop them to one side for me.

0:07:370:07:39

Kate Dickenson. Thank you.

0:07:390:07:42

Late night?

0:07:480:07:50

-Yeah, didn't get to sleep till after two.

-Oh, yeah?

0:07:500:07:53

-Rob was at a college reunion.

-You should've rung me.

0:07:530:07:57

I'm going to pretend you didn't say that. How's Olivia?

0:07:570:08:00

Oh, better since we've given up on the IVF.

0:08:000:08:02

Hopefully we can get back to enjoying sex again.

0:08:020:08:05

Oh, good to know, good to know.

0:08:050:08:06

The meeting's at 11, Pat's coming in to hold the fort,

0:08:060:08:09

so just make sure you're there.

0:08:090:08:11

Meeting's at 11.

0:08:180:08:20

Right!

0:08:230:08:25

-Morning.

-Morning, Talia.

0:08:260:08:27

Oh, I hear you did a birth registration yesterday. Well done.

0:08:270:08:31

Thank you.

0:08:310:08:32

It was a bit scary, but I think I did all right.

0:08:320:08:34

Ah, you'll get used to it.

0:08:340:08:36

Would you mind taking these? Thank you.

0:08:360:08:38

Erm, it's a birth.

0:08:380:08:40

-Right.

-Morning.

-Thank you.

0:08:400:08:43

Morning.

0:08:430:08:44

Sorry to keep you.

0:08:460:08:48

So who've we got here then?

0:08:480:08:50

This Harry Lester Armitage.

0:08:500:08:52

Well, hello, Harry Lester Armitage!

0:08:520:08:55

Aren't you a little bobby-dazzler?!

0:08:550:08:58

-How old is he?

-Oh, he were born two days ago.

0:08:580:09:01

So he's brand-new. Oh, that's lovely.

0:09:010:09:05

Congratulations. I take it you are his dad?

0:09:050:09:07

I am, yeah. I'm Simon Armitage.

0:09:070:09:09

Right, well, shall we head over?

0:09:090:09:11

-Look, I'll take all of this, don't worry.

-Thank you, cheers.

0:09:110:09:14

Just take a seat.

0:09:160:09:19

So, where was he born?

0:09:200:09:24

At St Thomas' Hospice.

0:09:240:09:25

His mum Jenny's in there.

0:09:250:09:28

I'm sorry to hear that.

0:09:280:09:30

That's why she's not here.

0:09:310:09:33

We unfortunately found out she'd got cervical cancer

0:09:330:09:36

when she was three months pregnant.

0:09:360:09:37

I wanted her to think about a termination

0:09:370:09:40

so she could get started on the treatment straight away,

0:09:400:09:42

but she wouldn't.

0:09:420:09:45

I mean, you know, we were both really happy when we found out.

0:09:450:09:49

Well, she started with these pains and we just thought it was

0:09:490:09:52

the baby growing at first

0:09:520:09:54

and then she had her scan.

0:09:540:09:56

SHE EXHALES

0:09:560:09:57

That must've been a big shock.

0:09:590:10:01

It was a bloody big shock, all right.

0:10:010:10:03

-Right, well, shall we get started, then?

-Yeah.

0:10:040:10:08

So, are you and Jenny married?

0:10:130:10:15

No, no, we could never afford it,

0:10:150:10:17

there were all these things we had to buy.

0:10:170:10:20

But when the midwife put Harry in her arms she...

0:10:200:10:24

She said she'd wished we'd got married now,

0:10:240:10:26

wishes we were a proper little family.

0:10:260:10:28

And it about bloody killed me because I'd have found the money

0:10:280:10:31

from somewhere, you know, I would, but it's too late now.

0:10:310:10:35

How sick is she?

0:10:390:10:40

Last time the doctor said it could be any time

0:10:400:10:45

and, to be honest, they weren't even sure if she was going to last

0:10:450:10:48

till the baby was born.

0:10:480:10:50

Erm...

0:10:520:10:54

Just excuse me for a minute. I will be back.

0:10:550:10:58

Yeah, no problem.

0:10:580:11:00

Morning, Anna. Oh, I might need you to do an RGL with me

0:11:020:11:05

this afternoon. What have you got on?

0:11:050:11:07

-Oh, just the citizenship...

-Oh, shit, I forgot about that.

0:11:070:11:10

The lord and lady mayoress are coming in...

0:11:100:11:12

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll sort something else out.

0:11:120:11:15

You all right?

0:11:150:11:17

-I've just had a run-in with Judy.

-Oh.

0:11:170:11:19

She doesn't like what I'm wearing, she thinks it's inappropriate.

0:11:190:11:22

You look great, she's just a bit old school, that's all.

0:11:220:11:25

Maybe lose the Docs, though, if I were you.

0:11:250:11:29

-What size are you?

-I'm a four.

0:11:290:11:32

I've got a spare pair of courts in my shoe locker.

0:11:320:11:34

What's she going to be like when they make her super?

0:11:340:11:36

Well, we don't know if she's got it yet.

0:11:360:11:38

Of course she has, that's what this meeting's about.

0:11:380:11:40

I bet she'll make us wear a bloody uniform.

0:11:400:11:42

So then you just click "enter".

0:11:450:11:47

-That should magically... That's it, good.

-Thank you.

0:11:470:11:50

Yeah.

0:11:500:11:52

I need the strongroom keys and they're not on the rack.

0:11:520:11:54

What do you want them for?

0:11:540:11:55

I think I'm going to have to do an RGL this afternoon

0:11:550:11:57

and I need to do a manual birth registration when I'm there.

0:11:570:12:00

Hang on a minute, just slow down and explain what's happening, please.

0:12:000:12:03

A new father's just come in to register the birth of his son

0:12:030:12:06

and his partner's dying wish is to be married.

0:12:060:12:10

Right, OK. Well, we can try and fit her in tomorrow.

0:12:100:12:12

Yeah, well, we don't know if she's got a tomorrow.

0:12:120:12:14

We've got the citizenship this afternoon.

0:12:140:12:17

Yeah, I know, but you and Anna could do that together.

0:12:170:12:19

Do we have a doctor's letter or...?

0:12:190:12:20

She's in St Thomas' Hospice, I think that speaks for itself.

0:12:200:12:24

We can just tell the GRO we've got it and get all the necessaries

0:12:240:12:27

when we're there.

0:12:270:12:28

I don't think we can get a general licence that quickly.

0:12:280:12:30

Well, we've done it before, several times.

0:12:300:12:33

So, are you going to ring, or shall I?

0:12:330:12:35

And do you know where the keys are?

0:12:390:12:41

It's going to cause complete mayhem.

0:12:410:12:43

Talia, the keys are in the top drawer of my desk.

0:12:430:12:46

They should be on the rack.

0:12:460:12:47

People were forgetting to sign for them

0:12:470:12:50

and at the end of the day, we are responsible for those certificates.

0:12:500:12:53

There's going to be a few changes around here after today.

0:12:530:12:56

-Hello, can I help you?

-Hello, yes, it's Judy Fellows here,

0:12:560:13:00

acting superintendent from the Greater Leeds office.

0:13:000:13:03

Kate! Kate!

0:13:030:13:05

Hey, listen, I've got a really weird notice - interpreter...

0:13:050:13:11

Well, the lot.

0:13:110:13:12

And, well, I've got a gut feeling about it,

0:13:120:13:14

but I just can't call it.

0:13:140:13:15

I'd appreciate a second opinion.

0:13:150:13:17

All right, well, I'm just dealing with an RGL just now

0:13:170:13:19

-and then I'll be straight through.

-All right, thanks.

0:13:190:13:21

Right.

0:13:210:13:23

I'm back. Sorry about that.

0:13:230:13:26

So, I'm just looking to see if we can do anything this afternoon.

0:13:270:13:31

Er, do what? Sorry.

0:13:310:13:33

We'll come to the hospice and register Harry's birth

0:13:330:13:36

so that Jenny can be there and...

0:13:360:13:38

..if it's possible, would you like us to marry you?

0:13:400:13:43

Oh, my God! That would be amazing. Can you do that?

0:13:460:13:50

Well, I'll give it a damn good try.

0:13:500:13:52

-She is conscious, right?

-Yeah, yeah.

0:13:520:13:55

Erm, I mean she drifts in and out sometimes

0:13:550:13:57

when they give her morphine, but...

0:13:570:13:59

Right, well, if you just write your phone number down there

0:13:590:14:02

and I'll keep you posted.

0:14:020:14:04

You're going to need proof of identity, like a passport or a

0:14:040:14:08

birth certificate, proof of address, a gas or electric bill.

0:14:080:14:12

Yeah, well, I mean, we've got plenty of them.

0:14:120:14:14

Wow.

0:14:160:14:17

-There's me number.

-I'll be in touch.

0:14:170:14:19

You literally don't know what this means to me.

0:14:210:14:24

Well, to us.

0:14:240:14:25

I mean... Thank you.

0:14:250:14:28

Thank you so much.

0:14:280:14:31

THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER

0:14:310:14:33

Can I just say, if you all speak at the same time,

0:14:330:14:35

I can't understand a word you're saying.

0:14:350:14:37

So just slow it down, one at a time, then I'll be able...

0:14:370:14:41

Sorry, I was just waiting to see if we could get the licence.

0:14:410:14:45

So, what's going on here, then?

0:14:450:14:48

Right, this is Kate, everyone, she's our senior registrar.

0:14:480:14:51

SHE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE

0:14:510:14:54

This is Amir, Kristina, they've come to give their notice

0:14:540:14:56

of intention to marry.

0:14:560:14:58

Kristina doesn't speak English so this lady...

0:14:580:15:00

-Dominica. I'm here to interpret and explain everything.

-OK.

0:15:000:15:04

This is Amir's cousin.

0:15:040:15:05

-Ramin.

-Hi.

0:15:050:15:07

Right. I've got here Amir's Iranian passport,

0:15:070:15:09

-his student visa...

-Mm-hm.

0:15:090:15:11

..utility bill and Kristina's ID, and that's as far as we've got.

0:15:110:15:16

OK.

0:15:160:15:18

Right.

0:15:180:15:19

So, what are you studying, Amir?

0:15:190:15:22

Business, but it's only part time.

0:15:220:15:25

I see.

0:15:250:15:26

So, is it a good course?

0:15:270:15:29

I think so, yes.

0:15:290:15:30

Is it a degree or a diploma?

0:15:300:15:32

-A degree.

-Diploma.

0:15:320:15:33

Well, which is it?

0:15:350:15:36

Degree.

0:15:360:15:37

Sorry, sometimes I get confused with the language.

0:15:370:15:40

And how did you meet the lovely Kristina?

0:15:400:15:43

My cousin introduced me to her.

0:15:430:15:44

She worked for him in his restaurant.

0:15:440:15:47

And...did you like working in the restaurant, Kristina?

0:15:470:15:50

SHE SPEAKS SLOVENIAN

0:15:500:15:55

Yes. She liked it very much, but now, as you see, she is pregnant

0:15:550:15:59

and the smell of food makes her feel sick.

0:15:590:16:01

Thank you for that.

0:16:010:16:02

If you could just interpret exactly what she says to me

0:16:020:16:05

and what I say back to her without adding anything?

0:16:050:16:08

Of course.

0:16:080:16:09

So, does Kristina speak any English?

0:16:100:16:12

-Hardly any.

-None.

-Or Iranian?

0:16:120:16:14

Just a few words.

0:16:140:16:16

So, do you speak Slovenian?

0:16:160:16:18

I can say "I love you".

0:16:180:16:20

Well go on, then.

0:16:200:16:21

Uh, ljubim te.

0:16:210:16:23

Did Kristina understand or actually hear any of that?

0:16:270:16:31

Yes. Yeah.

0:16:320:16:33

Er, OK, you...you do know that you only have a few weeks

0:16:330:16:37

left on your student visa, Amir?

0:16:370:16:39

Yes, but I knew we were going to marry, so...

0:16:390:16:41

You thought you wouldn't bother because Kristina being Slovenian

0:16:410:16:44

entitles you to a residency permit as a family member, yes?

0:16:440:16:47

Yes.

0:16:470:16:48

Ah, right.

0:16:480:16:50

And you're currently both living at 17 Copperfield Road?

0:16:500:16:54

-Yes.

-Da.

0:16:540:16:55

Oh, she understood that?

0:16:550:16:57

She knows the address.

0:16:570:16:59

Right.

0:17:000:17:01

SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

0:17:010:17:03

I've just got one question.

0:17:030:17:04

If neither of you speak each other's language,

0:17:040:17:07

how do you communicate?

0:17:070:17:09

Oh, we speak the language of love.

0:17:090:17:11

Oh.

0:17:110:17:13

See?

0:17:140:17:15

-Aw, that's lovely.

-That's nice.

0:17:150:17:17

Also, sometimes, we use the translator on our phones.

0:17:170:17:20

OK, well, there's a few more things that we need to check out

0:17:200:17:23

before we register your formal intention to marry.

0:17:230:17:26

Is this because we're Iranian?

0:17:260:17:28

No, it's because we need to make absolutely sure

0:17:280:17:30

that Amir and Kristina are marrying for the right reasons.

0:17:300:17:32

Well, who are you to make those decisions?

0:17:320:17:34

I'm a senior registrar and it's my job to make those decisions.

0:17:340:17:37

-I'll organise a home visit, and then you're going to have to make another appointment.

-Why is that?

0:17:370:17:41

My cousin and Kristina want to marry before the baby is born.

0:17:410:17:43

We also have to abide by the rules of the 2014 Immigration Act,

0:17:430:17:46

but we will push things along as fast as we can. OK?

0:17:460:17:50

Thank you very much for your time.

0:17:500:17:51

Thank you. Thanks for coming in.

0:17:510:17:53

DOMINICA AND KRISTINE SPEAK IN SLOVENIAN

0:17:540:18:00

-SIGHS

-Sorry.

0:18:040:18:05

I just could not call that one.

0:18:050:18:07

She didn't really look like a pregnant bride-to-be, did she?

0:18:070:18:10

And I'm not convinced

0:18:100:18:11

-that she couldn't at least speak some English.

-Yeah.

0:18:110:18:14

So, I think I might have an RGL this afternoon.

0:18:150:18:18

Do you think you could do it with me?

0:18:180:18:20

Can't, I've got a birth, two notices and a civil partnership later.

0:18:200:18:23

-Oh, bugger.

-Yep.

0:18:230:18:25

Oh, can you really do it? That would be amazing.

0:18:440:18:47

I just need to let her mam and dad know and, er, you know,

0:18:470:18:49

get a suit and er, the things that you asked me for.

0:18:490:18:52

Uh-huh.

0:18:540:18:56

OK. Well, will two o'clock be OK?

0:18:560:18:58

Perfect.

0:18:580:18:59

SHE EXHALES

0:19:010:19:03

..long time since I've been to a citizenship.

0:19:030:19:05

Sorry, I was just sorting out a hospice birth registration

0:19:050:19:08

and marriage for this afternoon.

0:19:080:19:10

No problem. Take a seat.

0:19:100:19:12

Well, you're probably all thinking,

0:19:130:19:16

"What the hell is the PO doing here?

0:19:160:19:18

"He doesn't usually grace us with his presence!"

0:19:180:19:20

LAUGHTER

0:19:200:19:22

But... Well, I'm sure you all know that Pat's retired,

0:19:220:19:26

and we've been searching for her replacement.

0:19:260:19:29

Judy has been doing a sterling job filling in as Superintendent

0:19:300:19:35

while we've been searching.

0:19:350:19:36

That in mind, we decided to promote from within,

0:19:360:19:40

and combine the jobs of service manager

0:19:400:19:43

and superintendent registrar.

0:19:430:19:45

-WHISPERS:

-Judy's going to be service manager as well?

0:19:450:19:48

And I'm very pleased to be able to tell you that

0:19:480:19:52

Kate is stepping into Pat's shoes,

0:19:520:19:55

as well as taking on the responsibilities of service manager.

0:19:550:19:59

Oh, that's brilliant!

0:19:590:20:01

Speech!

0:20:010:20:02

If you'd like to say a few words, Kate?

0:20:040:20:06

Er... Thank you, Matthew!

0:20:060:20:08

Um...

0:20:080:20:09

I know I'm a bit of a risky choice for this,

0:20:090:20:12

so thank you very much for having faith in me.

0:20:120:20:14

I just hope that I can live up to your expectations.

0:20:140:20:17

I have a fantastic team of registrars and celebrants

0:20:170:20:21

around this table to help modernise the service, so...

0:20:210:20:26

Well, if it all goes pear-shaped,

0:20:260:20:28

it's going to be me that's fucked it up.

0:20:280:20:30

LAUGHTER

0:20:300:20:33

And can I just say, as well,

0:20:360:20:38

on behalf of the rest of the staff, massive congratulations to Kate,

0:20:380:20:41

I think you've picked the right person.

0:20:410:20:43

And not to upstage Kate...

0:20:440:20:46

Er...

0:20:480:20:49

As we're all gathered here, um...

0:20:500:20:53

-VOICE SHAKING:

-..I'd just like to, er, take a moment...

0:20:530:20:56

Um...

0:20:590:21:00

Well, I know this might come as a bit of a shock to you all,

0:21:060:21:11

but, erm...

0:21:110:21:12

..as of next week...

0:21:120:21:14

..I will be coming to work

0:21:160:21:18

dressed as a woman.

0:21:180:21:20

QUIET LAUGHTER

0:21:210:21:23

THROAT CLEARS

0:21:250:21:26

LAUGHTER DIES

0:21:260:21:28

Are you serious?

0:21:320:21:34

SHE APPLAUDS

0:21:370:21:38

Well, I think she's, er...an interesting choice.

0:21:450:21:49

I mean, she's got her own way of going about things.

0:21:490:21:51

-That's not necessarily a bad thing.

-No, no.

0:21:510:21:54

I'm not saying it is. But, er...

0:21:540:21:56

Now, of course, she's got James to deal with.

0:21:560:21:58

I mean, how are the public going to react?

0:21:580:22:00

Well, I'm sure Kate will find...

0:22:000:22:02

No bride is going to want to be married

0:22:020:22:03

by a man dressed in women's clothes

0:22:030:22:05

but I'm pretty sure the same's going to go for people...

0:22:050:22:09

Oh, Talia, could you man the registration desk

0:22:110:22:14

for a couple of hours this afternoon

0:22:140:22:16

while they're doing the citizenship?

0:22:160:22:18

-By myself?

-She can't do it on her own.

0:22:180:22:20

Well, she's been here a month, she's got to start sometime.

0:22:200:22:23

Well, that's the rota completely out of the window.

0:22:230:22:26

I've got a couple in registration

0:22:310:22:33

and they, erm...

0:22:330:22:34

..they want to call their baby daughter Chlamydia.

0:22:340:22:38

It's got the same spelling and everything

0:22:380:22:40

and I don't really know what to say to them.

0:22:400:22:42

-LAUGHING:

-It's all right, I'll go.

0:22:420:22:44

-James?

-Yeah.

0:22:480:22:49

That was a really brave thing you did in there,

0:22:510:22:54

took a lot of guts.

0:22:540:22:56

I've been shittin' meself all morning.

0:22:560:22:58

Why didn't you come and talk to me?

0:22:580:23:00

I just needed to work things through, you know,

0:23:000:23:03

and make sure I were doing the right thing.

0:23:030:23:06

I've been seeing a counsellor for the past two years.

0:23:080:23:10

Are Sarah and the boys all right?

0:23:100:23:13

Erm...

0:23:130:23:14

Not really, no.

0:23:150:23:17

Erm, I'll talk to you later.

0:23:190:23:20

I better go deal with Chlamydia's mum and dad.

0:23:200:23:23

-Yeah, I'll catch you later.

-All right.

0:23:230:23:25

Judy, could I have a quick word?

0:23:290:23:31

Can we do it later? I've got to prepare for the citizenship.

0:23:310:23:33

That's all sorted.

0:23:330:23:35

It won't take a minute, shall we go to your office?

0:23:350:23:38

Not really my office any more, is it?

0:23:380:23:40

I'll, erm, move all my stuff out of here later.

0:23:440:23:47

You don't need to. I mean, we can hot desk

0:23:470:23:49

or I can work from that side and you could stay where you are.

0:23:490:23:53

I think I'd feel happier in my own space.

0:23:530:23:55

I'll clear my desk after work.

0:23:550:23:57

OK, well, whatever...

0:23:570:23:59

Look, I know you feel as if you've been passed over for this job...

0:24:000:24:03

-I have.

-..and this has all come as a bit of a shock.

0:24:030:24:05

You knew, didn't you?

0:24:050:24:07

I found out two days ago.

0:24:090:24:10

I hope it's not going to affect the way we work together,

0:24:120:24:15

and I don't want this to undermine you

0:24:150:24:17

and make you feel like you're not valued, because you are,

0:24:170:24:20

and I'm really going to need your help

0:24:200:24:22

if I'm going to pull this off.

0:24:220:24:24

I will do the very best I can, like I always have.

0:24:240:24:27

Thank you.

0:24:290:24:30

-That it?

-Yeah, for now.

0:24:300:24:33

I wonder if they'd have given you the job

0:24:450:24:46

if they knew you and Rick had sex in the strongroom.

0:24:460:24:48

What the hell are you talking about?

0:24:540:24:55

You were caught on CCTV.

0:24:550:24:57

Well, if you're talking about the Christmas party...

0:25:000:25:02

It's a sackable offence.

0:25:020:25:03

I was a bit tipsy, we both were,

0:25:050:25:08

and it wasn't sex.

0:25:080:25:09

It certainly looks like sex to me.

0:25:090:25:11

It was out of office hours.

0:25:130:25:14

In a highly confidential and sensitive area

0:25:140:25:17

and you're both council employees.

0:25:170:25:20

Why wait till now to tell me?

0:25:200:25:22

Tell you the truth, I forgot about it

0:25:240:25:26

and then it just occurred to me

0:25:260:25:27

when Matthew said you got the Super's job.

0:25:270:25:30

You liar.

0:25:300:25:32

Think what you want.

0:25:320:25:33

-What do you think she's going to do?

-I have no idea,

0:25:470:25:49

But I had this overwhelming desire to punch her in the fucking face.

0:25:490:25:52

Why was she looking through the CCTV footage anyway?

0:25:520:25:54

I have no idea.

0:25:540:25:56

-Do you think it'll still be on there?

-Yeah.

0:25:560:25:58

Yeah, I do, it could be on there for anything up to a year or more.

0:25:580:26:01

We've got to get in there and delete it.

0:26:040:26:05

What if she's made a copy?

0:26:050:26:07

No, she won't have, she can't even work the photocopier.

0:26:070:26:10

It all makes sense now

0:26:110:26:12

why she's been locking the strongroom keys in her drawer.

0:26:120:26:15

What a bitch.

0:26:150:26:17

It was out of office hours and that's what happens at work dos

0:26:170:26:20

when you're pissed and it's Christmas

0:26:200:26:21

and you've fancied someone for ages.

0:26:210:26:23

I didn't know that you'd fancied me for...

0:26:280:26:29

Come on, of course you did.

0:26:290:26:31

Hi, I'm Kate, I'm the registrar. We're here to...

0:26:520:26:55

To marry my daughter and Simon, thank you so much.

0:26:550:26:58

Sorry, I didn't realise you were...

0:26:580:27:00

-Her mum and, er, this is Jenny's dad.

-Hello. Phil.

0:27:000:27:03

Pleased to meet you. And this is Rick, he's our deputy registrar.

0:27:030:27:07

-Hiya.

-Hi, thanks.

0:27:070:27:09

So, where are they?

0:27:090:27:10

Jenny's just getting ready.

0:27:100:27:12

Her sister and one of the nurses are helping.

0:27:120:27:15

-Fran's a bit upset cos Jenny won't take her medication.

-Sorry.

0:27:150:27:18

She says she wants to remember and experience everything.

0:27:180:27:21

But she's in pain.

0:27:210:27:22

I know, love, but we can't force her to take it.

0:27:220:27:24

We've got to respect her wishes.

0:27:240:27:25

-Yes, I know, I just can't bear to see her...

-Well,

0:27:250:27:27

we'll get on with it. We'll do the wedding first

0:27:270:27:29

and then we'll register little Harry.

0:27:290:27:31

Oh, that's great, that what she was hoping.

0:27:310:27:33

Oh.

0:27:370:27:39

The room looks gorgeous. I can't believe you've done this so quickly.

0:27:390:27:43

Everyone's been running round, not me

0:27:430:27:45

and the staff have been great as well.

0:27:450:27:47

Shall we get started, then?

0:27:470:27:49

Right. I'll go and get her.

0:27:490:27:50

-Everything OK?

-Sound.

0:27:560:27:58

So, should I, erm, should I start the music now?

0:28:000:28:01

Yeah. Why not?

0:28:010:28:03

MUSIC: Somewhere from West Side Story

0:28:060:28:08

She played Maria in West Side Story when she was at college.

0:28:080:28:10

Oh!

0:28:100:28:11

That's lovely.

0:28:140:28:15

Oh, and who are you?

0:28:220:28:24

Elsa.

0:28:250:28:26

From Frozen.

0:28:260:28:27

Of course you are!

0:28:270:28:28

You look beautiful.

0:28:290:28:31

This is Daisy, This is Jenny's niece.

0:28:310:28:34

Do you want to come and sit down over here with me?

0:28:340:28:37

Do you want me to take him?

0:28:380:28:39

Do you mind?

0:28:390:28:40

There we go.

0:28:420:28:43

# Time to learn, time to care

0:28:530:28:56

# Someday

0:28:590:29:02

# Somewhere

0:29:020:29:05

# We'll find a new way of living

0:29:060:29:12

# We'll find a way of forgiving. #

0:29:140:29:19

Do you want to get her a seat?

0:29:210:29:23

No, I'll just hold it, I don't want to sit down.

0:29:230:29:25

Well, it's with a mixture of emotions

0:29:400:29:43

that we're gathered here today

0:29:430:29:45

to witness the marriage of Simon Armitage and Jenny Brown.

0:29:450:29:50

Pleasure that this marriage will bring comfort to you both and

0:29:520:29:55

to your families, and sadness that it'll only be for a short time.

0:29:550:30:01

I've only met Simon fleetingly, but I can see,

0:30:030:30:05

without a shadow of a doubt, Jenny, that he is in love with you.

0:30:050:30:11

And I love him.

0:30:140:30:16

And I think it's plain for, for everyone to see that you have

0:30:160:30:21

made the, well, the ultimate sacrifice by refusing to have

0:30:210:30:26

treatment so that the baby from your union together lived.

0:30:260:30:31

So, er, if there is anyone here that knows of any lawful

0:30:320:30:37

impediment to this marriage they should declare it now.

0:30:370:30:40

I, I'm just going to cut to the chase,

0:30:430:30:45

because I'm aware that Jenny's standing and she's in pain.

0:30:450:30:48

So, I'd like you to repeat after me.

0:30:520:30:53

I call upon these persons here present.

0:30:550:30:58

I call upon these persons here present.

0:30:580:31:00

To witness that I, Jenny Brown.

0:31:000:31:03

To witness that I, Jenny Brown.

0:31:030:31:06

Do take thee, Simon Armitage, to be my lawful wedded husband.

0:31:060:31:11

Do take thee, Simon Armitage, to be my lawful wedded husband.

0:31:110:31:15

Today we welcome new citizens from

0:31:180:31:22

China, Burma, Iran and Nigeria.

0:31:220:31:27

Now, no-one can really explain what it is to be British.

0:31:280:31:33

Some might say it's the love of hers truly.

0:31:340:31:39

Others might say it's freedom of speech or

0:31:390:31:42

grumbling about the weather.

0:31:420:31:44

LAUGHTER

0:31:440:31:46

So, I'd like to extend my hearty congratulations

0:31:460:31:49

and welcome you all...

0:31:490:31:51

..into our Great British family.

0:31:520:31:56

APPLAUSE

0:31:560:31:58

Thank you, Lord Mayor and now to the official bit.

0:32:010:32:05

I'm not very good with words.

0:32:060:32:08

I get all tongue tied and that, but...

0:32:080:32:10

..I guess I just wanted to say...

0:32:110:32:14

..that I'm going to cherish every minute that we have left together.

0:32:150:32:18

You've given me two of the most precious things on this earth...

0:32:190:32:22

..and that's your love and our little lad.

0:32:250:32:28

And I promise you...

0:32:300:32:32

HE SIGHS

0:32:330:32:34

I promise you that I'm going to look after him.

0:32:340:32:37

I will.

0:32:370:32:38

I'm sorry, I can't really say any more.

0:32:400:32:42

-Would you like to say anything, Jenny?

-Just that...

0:32:480:32:51

I'm so lucky I found you, cos you have made me so happy.

0:32:540:32:59

I just...

0:33:010:33:02

I wish we had more time together, but the time we've

0:33:020:33:06

had has been beautiful and I'm so thankful I got to marry you.

0:33:060:33:11

RICK CLEARS THROAT

0:33:210:33:23

Giving of the wedding rings.

0:33:230:33:24

And now we come to the giving of the wedding rings.

0:33:290:33:31

You all right?

0:33:380:33:39

-I'd forgotten what a lovely service it is.

-I know.

0:33:430:33:47

It always brings a lump to my throat.

0:33:480:33:49

-Excuse me, will you take a photo of me and my husband with the Lord Mayor?

-Yeah, of course, yeah.

0:33:510:33:54

Thanks.

0:33:540:33:55

Come on, David Bailey, make it quick, I'm dying for a cuppa.

0:33:560:34:00

HE LAUGHS

0:34:000:34:01

Hello, twice in one day.

0:34:060:34:08

Yes, today is also a special day for me.

0:34:080:34:11

Smile.

0:34:120:34:13

That's right. Now you can take it.

0:34:160:34:18

SHUTTERS CLICK TWICE

0:34:200:34:22

-There you go.

-Thank you very much.

0:34:230:34:25

-Er, I took a couple.

-Ah.

0:34:250:34:26

Fantastic.

0:34:280:34:29

So, when do you think my cousin will have his home visit?

0:34:290:34:33

Well, I'm, er, I'm not sure, it's not down to us.

0:34:330:34:36

It's immigration that deals with that.

0:34:360:34:38

Will they let us know before they visit?

0:34:380:34:40

Er, I think they do, but I wouldn't,

0:34:400:34:43

I wouldn't swear to it, though.

0:34:430:34:45

Is your wife all right?

0:34:450:34:47

Yeah, she's fine.

0:34:480:34:50

I've been a senior registrar now for 16 years

0:34:540:34:56

and before that I was a deputy registrar for five

0:34:560:34:59

and a half years, and before that I was a celebrant.

0:34:590:35:01

And you've been a credit to the service, Judy.

0:35:010:35:04

Thank you, but sometimes it doesn't feel like that.

0:35:040:35:06

You know, this is the second time I've been overlooked.

0:35:060:35:09

And I wouldn't mind so much if I felt like the right person had got the job, like Pat.

0:35:090:35:14

But I honestly believe Kate's not got the discipline to be a superintendent.

0:35:140:35:18

I won't keep you much longer, I know your time's precious.

0:35:210:35:24

It's all right.

0:35:240:35:25

I just need to know the full name of the baby's

0:35:260:35:28

mother at the time of the birth.

0:35:280:35:30

I'm Jenny Armitage now I'm married.

0:35:310:35:33

I want the same name as Harry and Simon on the birth certificate.

0:35:350:35:38

Right.

0:35:400:35:41

Technically that's not accurate, she would've been Brown

0:35:420:35:45

when the baby was born.

0:35:450:35:46

I want us all to have the same name.

0:35:470:35:50

Please.

0:35:510:35:52

Well, I'm not going to let a technicality

0:35:570:35:59

get in the way of someone's dying wish.

0:35:590:36:01

Armitage it is.

0:36:040:36:05

Thank you.

0:36:070:36:08

And thank you for letting us be part of your beautiful wedding.

0:36:080:36:11

I think we can manage the rest between us.

0:36:180:36:20

Yeah, thank you.

0:36:200:36:21

We maybe should be getting her back to her room now, yeah?

0:36:230:36:25

Yeah, OK.

0:36:250:36:26

PHONE RINGS

0:36:260:36:28

Oh, I'm so sorry.

0:36:280:36:29

I thought I'd turned it off.

0:36:340:36:36

What's the matter?

0:36:400:36:41

The schools rung, Lucy's ill. Can you pick her up?

0:36:410:36:44

Well, I'm in the middle of something Rob, can you not do it?

0:36:440:36:46

No, I can't. There's been a girl's body found in the canal.

0:36:460:36:50

We've only just started processing the scene.

0:36:500:36:52

Well, I'm at St Thomas Hospice, I'm doing a wedding

0:36:520:36:55

and a birth registration.

0:36:550:36:57

Wh-what about Liam, can he not make himself useful?

0:36:570:37:00

He doesn't know where the school is.

0:37:000:37:02

Well, tell him.

0:37:020:37:03

I'm busy, Rob. I can't just leave.

0:37:030:37:06

CALL ENDS

0:37:080:37:10

Maybe when you've only got a little time left, everything just

0:37:180:37:22

falls into place and you absolutely know what it is you want in life.

0:37:220:37:25

Yeah, it seems like that.

0:37:260:37:28

They both knew what they wanted. Nothing else mattered.

0:37:300:37:33

Maybe we're stressing about this CCTV thing,

0:37:330:37:36

it's not that important in the scheme of things.

0:37:360:37:39

Well, if she's got footage of us in there,

0:37:390:37:41

then she could get us both sacked.

0:37:410:37:43

We're intelligent people. We'll get another job.

0:37:430:37:45

I don't want another job. I love my job, especially now.

0:37:450:37:49

I could make real changes...

0:37:500:37:52

And what the hell would I tell Rob?

0:37:540:37:56

"It wasn't me."

0:37:560:37:57

It's not funny, Rick. It could be more than our careers on the line.

0:37:570:38:01

I know it's not funny, it's not come to that yet.

0:38:010:38:04

You know using Jenny's married name on the birth certificate was wrong.

0:38:040:38:08

Yeah, I know. Who's going to find out?

0:38:080:38:10

Who gives a shit anyway?

0:38:100:38:12

It mattered to her and that's what was important to me.

0:38:170:38:19

Rules are there to be broken, Rick.

0:38:210:38:23

If you say so, bring it on.

0:38:230:38:25

I'm all for that.

0:38:260:38:27

CAR STARTS

0:38:350:38:37

Look, do you want to come back another time,

0:38:390:38:41

cos like I say, once I register him, there's not really much we can do?

0:38:410:38:45

Oh. Kate!

0:38:450:38:47

Everything all right?

0:38:480:38:49

-Yeah.

-Me boyfriend's not turned up to register our baby boy.

0:38:490:38:53

-His phone's switched off.

-Well, does it have to be today?

0:38:530:38:55

They've got another eight days.

0:38:550:38:56

Why don't you come back another time if you want his name to be on the birth certificate?

0:38:560:39:00

He said he wanted to be.

0:39:000:39:01

He said that he loved him and he wanted to be a proper dad.

0:39:010:39:04

Well, I'd give him another chance, then, if I were you.

0:39:040:39:07

Thanks.

0:39:070:39:08

Aww, look.

0:39:090:39:11

-Bye.

-Bye.

0:39:120:39:14

Do you know, that's the second time she's been in. Poor lass.

0:39:150:39:18

Listen. I went to the Citizenship tea and cakes this afternoon.

0:39:180:39:22

-Yes...

-You'll never guess who was there?

0:39:220:39:24

No idea. It could be a long job, James.

0:39:240:39:27

Well, you know him that we saw this morning - his cousin, Ramin?

0:39:270:39:31

-Yeah.

-Yeah, he was there with his English wife.

0:39:310:39:34

That's weird.

0:39:340:39:35

That's what I thought. It could be the same set-up.

0:39:350:39:38

He married Marcia Benson three years ago.

0:39:390:39:42

He's 28, down as a restaurateur.

0:39:420:39:44

Was it straightforward or did it go through immigration?

0:39:440:39:47

Well, it doesn't say. I can look back at the file?

0:39:470:39:49

Yeah, go on.

0:39:490:39:50

Strongroom keys are still not on the rack.

0:39:510:39:53

I think it's best if they're kept somewhere safe.

0:39:530:39:56

Well, they're safe and accessible on the rack where they belong,

0:39:560:39:58

so can you put them back, please?

0:39:580:40:00

Now.

0:40:010:40:02

Hello!

0:40:040:40:06

I've brought you two feast number sixes to say thank you.

0:40:060:40:09

-Something for everyone.

-Wow.

-Aww, you shouldn't have.

0:40:090:40:12

Can I just remind you, we're not supposed to accept gifts.

0:40:120:40:15

So then Ramin asks

0:40:160:40:17

if immigration'll let him know when they're coming

0:40:170:40:20

because his cousin sometimes works.

0:40:200:40:22

I thought you said he hadn't got a work visa?

0:40:220:40:24

But it's not the Iranians that are bothering me.

0:40:240:40:26

It's Kristina, the young Slovenian girl.

0:40:260:40:29

Don't think she looks like a bride-to-be,

0:40:290:40:31

like someone who'd found the love of her life.

0:40:310:40:33

She looked frightened to me.

0:40:330:40:34

Anyway, Ramin then got so flustered, him and his wife left in a hurry

0:40:340:40:40

and he forgot his ID. It's in the office.

0:40:400:40:43

It's Number 21.

0:40:520:40:54

Who's she?

0:41:010:41:03

The next bride-to-be.

0:41:030:41:05

Stop it.

0:41:050:41:07

It's a nice house.

0:41:070:41:08

Must have some money.

0:41:090:41:10

DOORBELL RINGS

0:41:170:41:18

KATE KNOCKS

0:41:240:41:25

Oh, hi, er, Superintendent Kate Dickenson.

0:41:290:41:31

Registrar James McKenzie. We met this afternoon.

0:41:310:41:34

-It's Marcia, isn't it?

-Yeah, that's it. How can I help you?

0:41:340:41:37

-Er...

-Well, we were looking for your husband.

0:41:370:41:40

What for?

0:41:400:41:42

Could we come in for a minute?

0:41:420:41:43

I've just got some friends round at the minute.

0:41:450:41:48

Erm, has Ramin done something wrong?

0:41:480:41:49

No, no, not at all. Er...

0:41:490:41:51

Is everything all right?

0:41:510:41:52

-Oh!

-Oh! I didn't expect to see you here.

0:41:540:41:57

Why not?

0:41:570:41:59

We're looking for Ramin.

0:41:590:42:00

Oh, as far as I know he's with Amir and some of his friends.

0:42:000:42:03

Celebrating getting his citizenship.

0:42:030:42:06

You're a busy bee.

0:42:060:42:07

You were interpreting for the bride this morning.

0:42:070:42:10

Yes, that's right. I interpret for

0:42:100:42:12

lots of Slovenian, Romanian and Russian brides-to-be.

0:42:120:42:15

Not that it's any of your business.

0:42:150:42:17

Who's the woman in the other room?

0:42:190:42:21

That's a friend of mine, Lara, from Slovenia.

0:42:210:42:24

Do you have a problem with that?

0:42:240:42:26

No, I was just...

0:42:260:42:27

This is clearly harassment

0:42:270:42:29

and I know some very important people on the council...

0:42:290:42:31

Ah, so do we.

0:42:310:42:32

Where's Kristina?

0:42:340:42:35

I have no idea.

0:42:360:42:37

With Amir, getting ready for her wedding, I should think.

0:42:370:42:41

Listen, I'm her interpreter, not her keeper, OK?

0:42:410:42:44

Why are you being so defensive? I was just asking.

0:42:450:42:48

We are only here to return Ramin's driving licence,

0:42:480:42:52

which he forgot to pick up after his citizenship.

0:42:520:42:55

-Oh, thank you.

-Our pleasure.

0:42:550:42:57

There's going to be other men looking to marry for a visa,

0:43:040:43:06

that's for sure.

0:43:060:43:08

We've got to keep an open mind. We could be wrong.

0:43:080:43:12

We're not.

0:43:130:43:14

And why is she not out celebrating with them?

0:43:150:43:17

Maybe it's a cultural thing. She came to the do.

0:43:190:43:21

Yeah, there is that. She wasn't wearing a wedding ring, though.

0:43:210:43:27

You don't wear yours.

0:43:270:43:28

Well, I'm not married.

0:43:280:43:30

Really? God, you kept that quiet.

0:43:300:43:33

Well, it's not the sort of thing you shout about

0:43:330:43:35

when you're a registrar, is it?

0:43:350:43:36

I was going to marry Tom's dad.

0:43:380:43:40

We were engaged and everything...

0:43:410:43:43

..but then he ran off with my sister when Tom was 18 months,

0:43:450:43:47

so, that was that.

0:43:470:43:49

Nearly killed me.

0:43:510:43:52

So I left Carlisle and came down here and then I met Rob.

0:43:540:43:58

And it put you off getting married, did it?

0:44:000:44:02

Well, he was still technically married. I mean, they were separated

0:44:020:44:05

-but they were still living in the same house.

-Yeah.

0:44:050:44:07

To be honest, I don't think I was really ready to commit.

0:44:090:44:12

So, tell me,

0:44:150:44:16

is it going to be the full make-up and stilettos next week, then?

0:44:160:44:20

No way.

0:44:200:44:22

I thought maybe a skirt and a blouse, jacket over the top...

0:44:230:44:27

-Nice.

-Do you reckon?

0:44:270:44:29

Besides, I can't find any size 11 stilettos.

0:44:300:44:33

-You can get them.

-Yeah?

0:44:330:44:34

Yes, I have seen them online.

0:44:340:44:36

Oh, just do me a favour, don't come to work in them, whatever you do.

0:44:370:44:40

HE LAUGHS

0:44:400:44:42

I suppose I should've never got married and had kids.

0:44:470:44:50

Why not?

0:44:500:44:52

I think deep down I always knew.

0:44:520:44:53

That's the problem. I just...

0:44:540:44:56

I just kept thinking it'd go away after we got married,

0:44:570:45:01

and then after me and Sarah had the boys, but it didn't.

0:45:010:45:06

TYRES SCREECH

0:45:080:45:09

HORN BLARES

0:45:090:45:11

Bloody hell!

0:45:120:45:13

What the hell do you think you're doing, you stupid idiot!

0:45:160:45:20

That idiot was in the road!

0:45:200:45:22

Oh, my God! Simon?!

0:45:230:45:26

HORN BEEPS Jeez, will you shut up?!

0:45:260:45:29

Are you OK?

0:45:310:45:32

Jenny died.

0:45:350:45:37

Oh...

0:45:380:45:39

Oh, God. I'm so sorry.

0:45:390:45:42

I'm so sorry.

0:45:420:45:43

Come on, let's get... Let's get off the road.

0:45:450:45:47

HORN BEEPS

0:45:470:45:48

Oh, shut up!

0:45:480:45:49

I just closed my eyes.

0:45:560:45:58

I drifted off because I'd been...

0:46:000:46:02

I'd been awake all night.

0:46:030:46:04

When I opened 'em, she was gone.

0:46:050:46:07

Her whole life's ended. Why?

0:46:090:46:13

Maybe she thought everything was OK

0:46:130:46:15

and it was the right time for her to go.

0:46:150:46:18

I still had things I wanted to say to her.

0:46:180:46:20

I love her.

0:46:230:46:25

I wanted to be with her, I wanted to hold her when she went.

0:46:270:46:30

Maybe it was the right time for Jenny. Hmm?

0:46:300:46:33

I pressed the emergency bell

0:46:350:46:37

and they ran in and they tried to save her,

0:46:370:46:39

they tried to bring her back.

0:46:390:46:41

I know.

0:46:410:46:42

Right, I'm going to get the pair of you in the car. OK?

0:46:460:46:50

Come on.

0:46:500:46:51

Shit.

0:47:340:47:35

God.

0:47:350:47:37

Life's short.

0:47:370:47:39

Yeah.

0:47:410:47:42

So no point buggering about if you think something's wrong.

0:47:440:47:47

Sarah says I've got to tell the boys tonight.

0:47:540:47:56

I really don't know where I'm going to start.

0:48:000:48:02

Just be truthful with them.

0:48:040:48:05

They might take it better than you think.

0:48:070:48:09

Yeah.

0:48:090:48:10

Listen, er...

0:48:130:48:14

I'm going to drop you off at home

0:48:150:48:17

-and I just need to nip back to the office.

-Yeah.

0:48:170:48:20

-Evening.

-Evening.

0:48:280:48:30

LOCK BEEPS

0:48:360:48:38

SHE SNIFFS AND EXHALES

0:50:000:50:03

DOOR OPENS

0:50:050:50:07

Don't worry, I've saved it onto a USB stick.

0:50:080:50:11

What the hell are you doing here at this time?

0:50:130:50:15

Moving my stuff out of the Super's office.

0:50:150:50:18

Bit graphic, isn't it?

0:50:190:50:21

What have I ever done to offend you?

0:50:220:50:25

You've taken my job.

0:50:250:50:26

You been out celebrating?

0:50:580:51:00

No, I... I had to go back to work.

0:51:000:51:03

We had an RGL this afternoon and, er...

0:51:030:51:05

I thought they'd all be buying you a drink.

0:51:050:51:07

So how did it go?

0:51:090:51:10

How did they take you getting Super?

0:51:100:51:12

Yeah, they were all fine, except for Judy.

0:51:120:51:16

Yeah, but you expected that, right?

0:51:160:51:18

Can't believe I ever felt sorry for that woman.

0:51:180:51:20

Did you get my trainers?

0:51:200:51:22

Yes, they're in the boot of the car.

0:51:220:51:24

Don't say I never do anything for you.

0:51:240:51:27

How are you feeling?

0:51:270:51:29

Still got a headache.

0:51:290:51:30

-Emily Johnson thinks Liam's fit.

-Where is he?

0:51:300:51:33

He's meeting up with his girlfriend. They're going to "talk".

0:51:330:51:36

Can you take your uniform off, please, Lucy?

0:51:370:51:39

You're going to drop your dinner all down the front of it.

0:51:390:51:42

-Go and put your jammies on.

-I'm watching this.

0:51:420:51:43

Oh, come on, please, can you just do what you're told?

0:51:430:51:46

I thought you were supposed to be ill.

0:51:460:51:48

MESSAGE ALERT TONE

0:51:490:51:51

How about you? Did you find out who the girl in the canal was?

0:51:540:51:57

Not yet. We're still trying to get an ID on her.

0:51:570:51:59

-What are you doing?

-Trying to get into Lucy's phone.

0:51:590:52:02

Well, her code's not her birthday.

0:52:020:52:03

-She'll go mental if she catches you.

-We need to monitor what's going on

0:52:030:52:06

because she's got dodgy things popping up on her phone.

0:52:060:52:08

What kind of dodgy things?

0:52:080:52:09

I don't know because I can't get into her phone.

0:52:090:52:12

They're grey.

0:52:120:52:13

Yeah, well, they were the only colour they had in your size.

0:52:130:52:15

-I wanted black.

-Oh...

0:52:150:52:17

Do you know what? I've... I've had enough.

0:52:170:52:20

I won't wear 'em.

0:52:250:52:27

You ungrateful brat. Give us 'em here.

0:52:270:52:29

SHE SIGHS

0:52:350:52:38

I can't do it. It's impossible.

0:52:410:52:45

I'll take his trainers back tomorrow and talk to Lucy about her phone.

0:52:450:52:49

It's not just that, it's everything.

0:52:490:52:50

You're always like this when you've done an RGL.

0:52:520:52:54

Come here.

0:52:560:52:58

She was only 27.

0:53:060:53:08

She'd given birth to a baby boy two days earlier.

0:53:090:53:12

And they'd always meant to get married,

0:53:150:53:17

but they could never afford it.

0:53:170:53:19

Anyway...

0:53:210:53:23

..she died this evening.

0:53:250:53:27

I'm sorry, love.

0:53:290:53:31

And she's never going to see her baby boy grow up.

0:53:340:53:37

Maybe knowing she had him will've brought her some comfort.

0:53:410:53:44

Yeah, yeah, I'm sure.

0:53:440:53:46

There's other stuff too, at work.

0:53:550:53:56

Anything you want to share?

0:54:010:54:04

No. I can't.

0:54:040:54:05

I... I want to, but I...

0:54:080:54:10

I can't.

0:54:110:54:12

-It's just... It's immigration stuff, another sham marriage.

-Right.

0:54:140:54:18

Do you know, I started thinking today...

0:54:230:54:25

..I might like to get married.

0:54:310:54:33

-You always said...

-Yes, I know, I know what I always said.

0:54:370:54:39

But I really got it today...

0:54:410:54:43

..just seeing those two young people

0:54:450:54:47

so desperate to commit to each other.

0:54:470:54:49

Marriage means something, Rob,

0:54:510:54:53

and it's real and it's not just for a visa.

0:54:530:54:56

Yeah.

0:54:570:54:59

If anything ever happened to either of us, Rob,

0:54:590:55:02

I would just want us to be married.

0:55:020:55:03

I mean, we don't need to if you don't want to...

0:55:070:55:10

'Course I want to marry you, you daft bat.

0:55:150:55:18

Shall we tell the kids?

0:55:340:55:36

Why not?

0:55:360:55:38

Right, I'll go and round 'em up.

0:55:380:55:39

Be down in a minute.

0:55:420:55:43

Lucy! Tom!

0:55:430:55:45

What do you want?

0:55:450:55:47

Me and your mam've got something to tell you!

0:55:470:55:49

PHONE CHIMES

0:55:520:55:54

FOOTSTEPS ON THE STAIRS

0:56:080:56:10

Kate?

0:56:100:56:11

-James is here.

-James?

0:56:150:56:16

He's in a bit of a state.

0:56:160:56:17

What's the matter with him?

0:56:170:56:19

I couldn't do it.

0:56:310:56:33

I couldn't tell 'em.

0:56:330:56:35

So Sarah, she asked me to leave. I hope you don't mind.

0:56:380:56:41

Not at all.

0:56:420:56:44

I just...

0:56:440:56:46

I had nowhere else to go.

0:56:460:56:47

You can stay with us until you sort something out.

0:56:470:56:50

-I'm so sorry.

-It's OK. Hey...

0:56:500:56:53

Hey, come on, it's OK.

0:56:530:56:55

I always thought you were married.

0:57:070:57:09

There's hope for me yet, then.

0:57:090:57:11

You've got a skirt on.

0:57:110:57:12

Yeah, I'm on a journey.

0:57:120:57:14

Do you need help?

0:57:140:57:16

Yeah.

0:57:160:57:17

Where did you get the ring?

0:57:170:57:18

A girl at school.

0:57:180:57:20

I'm going to send him a copy of the tape

0:57:200:57:21

and we'll see if he still thinks you're such a golden girl then.
