0:00:21 > 0:00:24When the blast went off, it was my kids I was thinking about.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26- You need to stay with me until you're well enough.- Welcome home.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28You're a two-faced, spoiled cow.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31It's Dad. He's super grumpy and he won't let me do anything for him.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Please will you come and look after my daddy?
0:00:34 > 0:00:37I just wanted to let you all know that my dad died earlier today.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40I haven't had a drink in months.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42You don't care, for us, yourself. Never have done.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44I won't have Ruby watching her stagger about here every
0:00:44 > 0:00:47night of the week. The first sniff of a drink, she's gone.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52You can call me whatever you like.
0:00:52 > 0:00:58Lush, alkie, booze hound.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04It's been 12 weeks and four days since my last drink.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11But before the drinking got out of control, I could burn up a room.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18I was fit and funny and sexy... only no-one remembers that.
0:01:21 > 0:01:28That woman's gone now. And I need tomorrow to be a great day.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31A new start and a new job.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35You all go on about one day at a time.
0:01:35 > 0:01:42And that's what I've been doing, trying,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45but I need tomorrow to be a good day.
0:01:47 > 0:01:56Because if it's not, well, I don't want to even think what I'll do.

0:02:15 > 0:02:16Nan - what are you doing?
0:02:16 > 0:02:20I am dancing with my gorgeous grandwean.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23You're all wet.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26No, Ruby - I am on fire!
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Right, I better get a shift on.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34OK.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Erm, where you off to?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Job interview.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Aw, Nan! That's brilliant!
0:02:42 > 0:02:45I'm sure to be a shoo-in for it. Ha!
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Sure to be a shoo-in,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48that sounds really weird when you say it out loud.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Tell your mum and your Auntie Ellie I'm away to the medical
0:02:51 > 0:02:53centre for the interview.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Nurse McLean is back in town.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Right, wish me luck.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Good luck, Nan.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26I feel sick.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28STUTTER BEGINS TO COME BACK: I'm so...nervous.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Oh, no. What if I can't...?
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Oh, Bob, I can't even speak! It's a waste of...
0:03:36 > 0:03:38time.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- You need to calm down. Deep breaths. - I can't breathe!
0:03:40 > 0:03:41You'll be fine.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43It's not going to...work, Bob.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- You'll be great!- Stop it.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Look, you're amazing. They'd be mad not to take you on.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Bob, I... - Just give yourself a chance.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Aw, love's wee dream.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Good luck - not that you'll need it, but. Right?
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Money.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20That's what you asked for.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- I know. - So what's the problem?
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Wow, 18 years old!
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Who would have thought somebody so young and attractive as
0:04:33 > 0:04:34me would have a daughter so old?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Feels like only a week ago you had me running around as Catwoman
0:04:37 > 0:04:39while you were Batgirl.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Batman.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Yeah, time flies when you're shipped off to Hogwarts.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Mine now, Frankie.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Right, well, I hope you kept the receipt for it.- Shut up!
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Hey! Language.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I made it for you at school.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57D'ye like it?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59No. I love it.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- (You're the best. - (And you're the best of the best.)
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Hey, let's have a party!
0:05:08 > 0:05:10No, I told you, no.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Please!
0:05:11 > 0:05:12No. It's tacky.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14It's your 18th.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Come on, I promise, it won't be anything too OTT,
0:05:16 > 0:05:20just a few nibbles, and some disco lights...
0:05:20 > 0:05:23No offence, but dancing round a bowl of onion rings with you and
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Auntie Annie sounds like social Kryptonite.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Hey! Well, you clearly haven't seen my dance moves.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I can vouch for your mother, she definitely has some dance moves.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Come on. There'll be cocktails.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38And we can invite a few of your school friends.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39We can text Jules.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42No. It's a dumb idea.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49I know. Why don't we have a father and daughter day?
0:05:49 > 0:05:50You serious?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Yeah, course I am.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54We could go to the cinema? Or the pub.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56We should go to the pub.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Frankie, your dad can barely manage the bathroom...
0:05:59 > 0:06:01He's right here. He can speak for himself.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I was thinking more of a... indoorsy-type day?
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Oh.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10We could lie on the couch.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Binge-watch a box set.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Order your favourite takeaway.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Eat our body weight in chocolate.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16Yay!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Stay in all day? Great.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Frankie, we're trying.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24That's good of you. Trying.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Well, I'll let Annie know that you're up.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37She's doing her best. We both are.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Well, you've missed my last three birthdays.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43So there's really no point in trying to make this one memorable, is there?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Frankie. Frankie, get back in here.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47DOOR SLAMS
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- SHE SIGHS - Women!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59I'll get back to you at the end of the day, all right?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Maggie, can you just give me two minutes, please?
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Aye, nae worries. I hope you've no' set the bar too high now, wee yin.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08She was asking me questions and I was just sat there looking like...
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Kermit the frog? That's a shame. You'll get used to it.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Give it a few years,
0:07:13 > 0:07:16you'll be in and out of these interviews like gallus Alice.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Last of the morning - Maggie.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Keep the best till last, eh?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21That's what I always do with the strawberry creams.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Good luck.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Who needs luck when you've got the face and hands of the Angel Gabriel?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Where's Alasdair got to?
0:07:42 > 0:07:47I thought we could maybe go for a wee drink at lunchtime today for the...
0:07:47 > 0:07:50On a weekday? Away with yourself.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54I just thought it might be nice to mark...
0:07:54 > 0:07:58How's Hinge and Bracket getting on today?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Any more of your cheek, Murdoch, and I'll have you across my knee.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Oh, there's a disturbing thought for this time in the morning.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08By the way, Amber was looking for you, did you see her?
0:08:08 > 0:08:13Unless she was levitating outside our kitchen window whilst we
0:08:13 > 0:08:17were eating our boiled eggs, it's highly unlikely.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19What Molly is trying to say is, no, I haven't seen her.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22But you can tell her I'll be in the shop all day.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24All right.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Unless you change your mind and we could have that drink?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Unless you get a shift on,
0:08:32 > 0:08:34we're not going to get anything done.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43You've interviewed well.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Thanks.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- Only...- Only what?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49You were struck off the register.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52I was told after five years I could apply for restoration.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Yeah, well, you'll be assigned a new case officer and then your
0:08:56 > 0:08:58case will be heard in front of the restoration panel.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59I've been there before.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04Strangers that barely know me playing judge, jury and executioner.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09They'll ask you what you've been doing since you've been struck off.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Great.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13And how do you feel about the incidents that led to your
0:09:13 > 0:09:15name being removed from the list?
0:09:15 > 0:09:16Absolutely fabulous.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19And can you be sure that something similar won't happen again?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Spit it out, Doctor, what are you really talking about here?
0:09:23 > 0:09:29Well, you have to demonstrate your commitment to sobriety, long-term.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32I was, no, I AM a brilliant nurse.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34No, I know, and I can see that from your files,
0:09:34 > 0:09:40- but you were struck off for being under the influence of...- NO. I was struck off for being caught.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44All these years working, in and out of surgeries, and hospitals,
0:09:44 > 0:09:49and I'd watch you doctors coming in absolutely reeking of drink.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51That's not true.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53What about you, Doctor?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56You're in that Tall Ship every other night knocking back the vino.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Have you taken a breathalyser to see if you're "competent"?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- Are you implying that I'm...? - No, no, I'm just saying.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06It only takes one mistake, turning up for work when you
0:10:06 > 0:10:10should've really phoned in sick, and then everything is taken away.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Have you got weans, Doctor?
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Yes.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Well, then you should know how hard it was for
0:10:19 > 0:10:21me to get my qualifications.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26I was poring over textbooks for years,
0:10:26 > 0:10:30with one of my kids at my chest, taking double shifts and
0:10:30 > 0:10:34overtime, unpaid, so that the bosses would like me,
0:10:34 > 0:10:40nursing strangers rather than my own two, and then one night, one stupid
0:10:40 > 0:10:45night, I have one drink too many - and everything's just written off.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49That's not true, is it, Maggie? It was more than just one night.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54So am I getting this job or not?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59That's what I thought.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01You might as well put that in the bin.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- Maggie! Please. - Aw, just save your breath!
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Oh, look out, Nurse Jackie's on the warpath.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Doctor, fetch the laughing gas.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20What's that supposed to mean?
0:11:20 > 0:11:21It was a joke.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- You calling me a joke? - No! I was...
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Because the only clown I see around here is standing in front of me.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Maggie! I was trying to...
0:11:28 > 0:11:31You keep your paws to yourself, Peter Galloway.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Maggie. Don't get your engine all fired up, not in your condition.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37And what condition is that?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39You don't want to be getting all het up,
0:11:39 > 0:11:42might make you want to have a D-R-I-N-K.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48The only thing I want right now is a J-O-B. You understand?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51So, unless you have any idea of how or where I get one,
0:11:51 > 0:11:52I would move out my way.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Amber Cabs!
0:12:00 > 0:12:02I could speak to Lenny. Put in a good word.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05They're always looking for drivers, you being a woman might help,
0:12:05 > 0:12:06you know?
0:12:06 > 0:12:11And what about a woman with two drink-driving convictions?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Do you think he'd go for that?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15No. Didn't think so.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Caitlin. You better get yourself down here, right now.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41That's nice.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Bin.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45But it's still got the tag on it!
0:12:45 > 0:12:48You could spit peas through it. Cheap tat.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51But that's what we sell - second-hand tat.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54How dare you!
0:12:54 > 0:12:58This is a quality establishment, I won't have you speaking about it
0:12:58 > 0:13:01as though it was some kind of stupid wee junk shop.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02And how dare you?
0:13:02 > 0:13:05I wouldn't be seen in a stupid wee junk shop.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Might I suggest a few sips of tea to help calm you lovely ladies?
0:13:09 > 0:13:13And might I suggest keeping your snout in your own back yard?
0:13:13 > 0:13:20Oh, the menopause is really taking its toll this morning, isn't it?
0:13:21 > 0:13:22There's no milk in that.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24No, we've run out. I meant to get some.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28But you didn't. Never mind, I'll go and get it.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41It's gorgeous!
0:13:41 > 0:13:42It must've cost you a fortune.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Yeah, it'll be cheesy beenos for the rest of the year now.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- It's lovely.- And it's just my taste. You know me so well.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Right, are you ready?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Ready for what?
0:13:53 > 0:13:55For a day of fun with the birthday girl.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Go on. Go and get ready.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Day of fun?
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Yeah. Well, I've managed to negotiate three tours of Syria.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05I think I can manage an all-day breakfast down the Oyster.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Do you think that's a good idea, Greig?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10No offence, Annie, but I don't think you're the right person to be
0:14:10 > 0:14:12giving out parental advice.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Thanks for that, it was actually medical advice I was giving you.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16OK, look, if we're going to go out and have
0:14:16 > 0:14:19a fun day, I need some time to get Katie ready.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21No, I just thought it'd be me and Frankie.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Oh.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28It's just, I think I need this.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29I've missed out on too much.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32A little bit of father and daughter time will...
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Push Lorna further out the picture. Yeah, it will.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36That's not what's going on here.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Have you not seen the way she looks at me?
0:14:38 > 0:14:39She hates me.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Look, she doesn't hate you.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43She's a teenager. She hates everyone.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46She's just not happy at the minute, and she listens to me.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Yeah, when you're there.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53I think we both know why there's no party - because there's nobody to invite.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Let me just take her out, talk to her and find out what's up with her.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Fine. But you better have her back for tea-time
0:14:58 > 0:15:01because I've got Robbie coming over for a cocktail masterclass.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04You're not the only one with surprises up your sleeve.

0:15:06 > 0:15:07We expecting anyone?
0:15:12 > 0:15:16See, if you keep scowling like that you're going to end up needing Botox.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19OK. One Alex Murdoch, ready for duty.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Duty? What's going on?
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Right, we ready? See you later.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- You couldn't help yourself, could you?- Go easy on her.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33This is me going easy.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36I'm surprised you're willing to lose your licence, serving her this early in the day.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Sorry, what's this all about?
0:15:38 > 0:15:41I think my lassies have just come over to congratulate
0:15:41 > 0:15:42me on my new job.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Your what?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- You're working here?- No.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50I'm a new art installation - Woman With A Bottle of Furniture Polish.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52What do you think?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54I thought you were cutting back on staff.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57To keep my job I had to jump over obstacles like I was on The Krypton Factor.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59You're getting off the point a bit, Caitlin.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00You couldnae be a cleaner!
0:16:00 > 0:16:04You should've seen the state of her skirting boards before I moved into that house!
0:16:04 > 0:16:06What's that supposed to mean?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I'll just let you get on with it, shall I?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14What happened with the surgery?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Appears that second chances don't apply to the medical profession.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Mum, are you sure you're ready for this? Working in a pub?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Ellie, if I wanted a drink, I could get it like that.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Here's no different from anywhere else.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28No. No way.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31She's got a point, Caitlin.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Lassies, this is not up for discussion.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37Now, if you don't mind, I have a lavvie that's not seen
0:16:37 > 0:16:40the remarkable shine effect of the McLean Elbow Grease System.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- Mummy?- What?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46I'm really proud of you. We both are.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- Eh, Caitlin? - So long as she doesn't start tipping her mouth under the optics, aye.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52I'm delighted.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56What? I'm just being honest.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Heaven forbid that you try and be supportive.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03You can't help yourself, can you? All she wants is our support.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04No, Ellie. All she wants is a drink.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Well, it's safe to say we've helped her there.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08I'm wasting my time here.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09Where you going?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12To bury my head in some books. You can look after her for a change.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15DOOR OPENS
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Oh, you shouldn't have bothered, hen.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23But for future reference, I prefer white roses.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24They're for Liz.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26It's not her birthday, is it?
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Ladies of our age don't have birthdays, Alasdair.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33We have anniversaries of our 40th birthday. No - it's not her...
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Can you take them for her?
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Oh, no.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43I just wanted to let her know I was thinking of her.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45What is it?
0:17:45 > 0:17:49It's been a year - since we buried Malcolm.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53You'd have thought you would have remembered that, Alasdair.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- I'll be sure to get them to her. - Thanks.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03What are you doing?
0:18:03 > 0:18:04Putting these in water.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Mind you, they'd last longer if we had some lemonade to add to the vase.
0:18:08 > 0:18:14Never mind that, Monty Don, we have other things to be getting on with.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Like what?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I could get used to this.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Well, if it's going to become a regular thing, you better start cutting back on the pies, mate.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Aye, all right.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29Give us a smile?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Enjoy.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46It's only once that you turn 18, eh?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Cheers, AJ.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54# Happy birthday to you
0:18:54 > 0:18:56# Happy birthday to you... #
0:18:56 > 0:18:57Blow out your candle.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04If this is too much for you, you just need to say.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08It's all right, I've got my minder with me.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS
0:19:17 > 0:19:18Sit down.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- Do you want anything?- No.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Coffee? Tea? Me?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Oh, no, are you at it again?
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- What? - Have you taken your medication?
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Course I have.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Well, what are you doing, then?
0:19:33 > 0:19:34It's my turn.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Sorry.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Hey, hey. What's the matter?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42I don't know. I feel stupid.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Aw, darlin'.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Gonnae take that off? You look like Mrs Doubtfire.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51And the gloves.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Anything else?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56No.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58Come here.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04You were right. She was in the pub.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I shouldn't have phoned you.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11But when I saw her going in, I didn't know what to do.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13She's not drunk, it's worse.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14Worse?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16She's working there.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Well, how's that worse? Surely, it's a good sign.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20No, Pete. Getting a job in a pub.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23She's surrounding herself with temptation.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26She'll slip up one day and drink that place dry.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Make a clown of herself.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- She might not.- She will, you know she will. She cannae help herself.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Look, Maggie and me are not exactly bosom buddies.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40But even I can see she's trying to sort her life out.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44You're not getting this. I've seen this before.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45She'll say she's fine,
0:20:45 > 0:20:48she's got her new job, and she'll think she's coping all right.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52And then it'll get too much for her. And the worst part is the hope.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56The hope that she's actually all right, it kills me.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Because no matter how much I want everything to be all right,
0:20:59 > 0:21:01I know she's going to hit that bottle again.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06How many chances have you given me?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Too many.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Do you not think that maybe she deserves the same?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16What's Ellie saying to all this?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18The usual. "Gie ma maw a chance."
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- I've told her she can deal with it for a change.- Good.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23She tells lies for her.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26She doesn't mean to.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Aye, she does. But I don't blame her.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31I used to do the same myself.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33But I'm finished with that.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35I mean, one foot wrong, one drink,
0:21:35 > 0:21:37I'm putting her out. I mean it.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44You hosting a Come Dine With Me or something?
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Wee lunch with Ellie to celebrate my new job at the Tall Ship.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Oh, here, I've got the very thing.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Cut-doon price. Ten quid. And it's none of your rubbish, neither.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Nothing says celebration like a wee bottle of bubbles.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Och, I'm not even sure if Ellie likes that stuff.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Are you kidding me? If it's fizzing, you're winning.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03It's a wee bit early in the day for it.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Early for what? Enjoying yourself with your lassies?
0:22:05 > 0:22:08See, if my Kelly-Marie was here, I'd be flipping that closed sign,
0:22:08 > 0:22:11we'd be rattling through a crate of that right now.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Aye, you never appreciate how long you've got your weans around you, do you?
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Aye. I missed the bones of mine when I was in Spain.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20All the more reason to spoil them rotten the now, eh?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22What do you say? Cheeky wee bottle?
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- Maybe another time.- Suit yourself.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Right... Oh.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34So, she looks down at me, with this exam paper in her hand,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37which was a total joke to begin with, and she says to me,
0:22:37 > 0:22:40"Francesca. Do you know what this is?"
0:22:40 > 0:22:42That's scarily good.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44I know. "Francesca, do you know what this is?"
0:22:44 > 0:22:46And I say, "Your hand?"
0:22:46 > 0:22:50And she says, "No, Francesca, this is your future.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53"And do you know what your future looks like?"
0:22:53 > 0:22:56And I say, "Sweaty and covered in liver spots?"
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Exactly. Thank you. It is funny.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00No, that is funny.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Yet Mum threw a total whitey when they phoned her up to tell her.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Yeah, but she's your mum, she worries about you.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07No, she worries how she looks.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Frankie, that's not the way...
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- I've been trying to phone you all morning.- Why?
0:23:11 > 0:23:14You made it perfectly clear that - what was the phrase? -
0:23:14 > 0:23:16you don't want to be within a hundred feet of
0:23:16 > 0:23:18me else you'll rip your nails down my face.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21I never chose to be your lab partner but if we're both to pass I
0:23:21 > 0:23:23need you to send me your results.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30There. Sent. Bye.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Why didn't you send it last night when you were supposed to?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Because I was busy. Like I am now.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38Bye.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43So, anyway, I was standing there like a...
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Why did you just do that?
0:23:45 > 0:23:46Do what?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Speak to her like that.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53You sit here with me and you're funny, you're smart...
0:23:54 > 0:23:56..you're a kind girl, Frankie.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Why don't you let people like Jules see who you really are?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Or your mum, for that matter?
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- I do. - No, you don't.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Maybe... you're the only one I like.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11I'm being serious, Frankie. I just don't get what the issue is.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Right, what's next?
0:24:12 > 0:24:16We could phone a taxi - go into town, there's that new film on at
0:24:16 > 0:24:17the Imax.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Yeah, well, look, I'm not quite so sure that town is a good idea.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24It's just your mum and Ellie, they've got me on such
0:24:24 > 0:24:26a short leash as it is.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Anyway, I don't know about you, but I think it is time
0:24:30 > 0:24:32that you had your first alcoholic drink.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34What do you reckon?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36I reckon it's not my first.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38I reckon you shouldn't let your mother hear you say that.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39I know what I want to do.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42All right, slow down, come on...
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Something, something...
0:24:54 > 0:24:55DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Is that you, Ellie?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Just me, Nan, need to get my travelcard.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Stay for lunch with your Auntie Ellie and I.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07What is it?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15I've always been a dab hand at a la carte.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17I think I'll just go to the chippie.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Oh, you cheeky!
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Nan, something's spilled all over...
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Uch, it's all right, I'll get it!
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Uch, you put the bottle in the wrong way.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12I... I come here occasionally...
0:26:13 > 0:26:16I find it a spot that helps me to contemplate.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21It's a good spot to die of hypothermia.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25I'm not in the mood today, Molly.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28You've had me and Alasdair worried sick.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Out for a pint of milk, never to return.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36Mind you, my Brian was the same, of course, he was always at the pub.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41You're like ice.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42I don't care.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46But you should care. Malcolm would.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52You remembered?
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Of course I dinnae.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59If I remembered every time Tom, Dick or Harry passed away,
0:26:59 > 0:27:01I'd never have my funeral frock off.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Aye, but he wasn't just any old Tom, Dick or Harry.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08I know!
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Come on. Let's get you...
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Listen, I said I wasn't in the mood to work today.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20Work? Who said anything about going back to work?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31No, you're all right, thanks.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33I'm not eating an ice lolly in this weather.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37I like it. Do you remember when we went to Skye?
0:27:39 > 0:27:40How could I forget?
0:27:40 > 0:27:42It was as cold as a brass monkey's...
0:27:42 > 0:27:45You and me sat on the beach and ate...
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Ice lollies. Yeah, I remember.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54Mum complaining it was too cold. As always.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56She sat in the teashop, left us to it.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00That's not exactly how it was, Frankie.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02You wanted to go and play down on the sand.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05She couldn't manage with the pram so she let us go down instead.
0:28:05 > 0:28:10What about when we visited Gran in Ballymena? All she did was whinge.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12She was just out of hospital with your sister.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14She'd just had a C section.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15She was in a lot of pain.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- Frankie, you seem to be painting your mother as some sort of... - Do you love her?
0:28:23 > 0:28:24Course I do.
0:28:24 > 0:28:25Why?
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Frankie, what's this all about?
0:28:31 > 0:28:34I'm just trying to figure out why you keep leaving.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38I didn't leave, I was fighting for my...
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Your country, right. Not for us, though, eh, Dad?
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Oh, I don't blame you, don't worry.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50I can hardly bear to be in the same house as her, either.
0:28:52 > 0:28:57- Frankie, have a seat. Come on... - Come on, time for my birthday drink.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Hold up.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15I'm not blowing my own trumpet, but Delia would kill to cook with me.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17It's nice.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Don't patronise me, Ellie.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23If you don't like it, I'd rather you be honest and say.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24I do. It's fine.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Fine?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28It's lovely. Delicious.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Told you.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35So... How was your first day?
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Good, actually.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Suzie wants me to go back over after lunch,
0:29:39 > 0:29:41and have a wee chat about my trial.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46I'm telling you, you will not get a cleaner toilet than...
0:29:47 > 0:29:49What is it, wee yin?
0:29:49 > 0:29:50Nothing.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Mum, we've never spoken about what happened in Spain.
0:29:57 > 0:29:58What about it?
0:29:58 > 0:30:00When you were working in the pub.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03We both agreed that we wouldn't mention that wee blip.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06It was more than a blip, Mum, eh? You know that.
0:30:06 > 0:30:11This was supposed to be my fresh start. No judgment. Your words.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Or was that just all rubbish,
0:30:13 > 0:30:15said to make me give up my life over there?
0:30:15 > 0:30:17No, of course not.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20You've always looked out for me. And I'm thankful for it.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- You know that, don't you?- Uh-huh.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36You do believe I can quit the drink, don't you?
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Aye, course I do.
0:30:39 > 0:30:40Good girl.
0:30:40 > 0:30:45Right. I better get over before Rula Lenska takes an Annie Laurie.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Coming through.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56Oh, easy.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Ooh. You want to watch where you're going?
0:31:03 > 0:31:05- Sorry.- Slow down, Frankie.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Does it not bother you?
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- What?- Them, all staring.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Since when have we been bothered by a wee bit of attention?
0:31:25 > 0:31:27It happens to Katie all the time and now you.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Yeah. And do you hear her complaining about it?
0:31:29 > 0:31:30No, but I hate it.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Anyway, I can tell what they're saying.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36What?
0:31:36 > 0:31:37They taught me how to lip-read in the Army.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39- Shut up.- They did.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43See the big fella over there at the bar, he's saying,
0:31:43 > 0:31:47"What's such a hot buck of a man doing with such a sour-faced Sue?"
0:31:51 > 0:31:52Do you want this drink or not?
0:31:52 > 0:31:53I'll go.
0:31:53 > 0:31:58No, no. No, I've waited 18 years to buy my girl a drink.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01This one's on me. What do you fancy?
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Gin and fresh orange.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Gin? That never ends well.
0:32:14 > 0:32:15Sorry.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Ellie, will you do us a wee favour - go to the bar and get us
0:32:19 > 0:32:21a couple of drinks?
0:32:21 > 0:32:23- Get us a gin and orange and a pint, please?- I'm in a hurry.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27- And anyway, you shouldn't be drinking on your medication. - It's only one pint.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28It's one pint too many.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29Please.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34OK. But you didn't get it from me.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36It'll be our little secret.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38There's been a lot of those today.
0:32:41 > 0:32:42I thought we were going for a drink?
0:32:42 > 0:32:43We are.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45So, why are we here, then?
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Because I wanted you to see something.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58It was Alasdair's idea. Declare it a national holiday.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Malcolm Memorial Day.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Aw, he would love that.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Aye. It felt right.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Malcolm always did like a wee swally in the Ship.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16Where's my mum?
0:33:16 > 0:33:17She's in the cellar.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Listen, she can't work here.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- Why not?- It's the wrong place, she's not right for it.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26I see what's going on here.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29You're ashamed that she's a cleaner.
0:33:29 > 0:33:30No, no, it's not that.
0:33:30 > 0:33:35Of course it is, and quite frankly the condescension is
0:33:35 > 0:33:36stomach churning.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Your mother is a very...
0:33:38 > 0:33:39She's an alcoholic.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42And I think she's drinking again.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45And you think she'd do that by choosing to work in a pub?
0:33:45 > 0:33:49How can she ever be expected to improve when you are all
0:33:49 > 0:33:51planning for her to fail?
0:33:51 > 0:33:55Because she's done it before! In Spain.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56Working in a pub.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57Oh.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02She used to send me messages, you know.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05"Two weeks and not a drop, aren't I doing well, wee yin?"
0:34:06 > 0:34:12Eight weeks. 15. 26. 31 weeks. Same message.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14And then, I get the call, at Christmas.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19When I got to the hospital out there...
0:34:19 > 0:34:21I could tell just by looking at her.
0:34:22 > 0:34:27All those texts - lies. She hadn't stopped.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30She'd just got better at hiding it.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33The doctors reckoned she was half a bottle away from drinking herself to death.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35Caitlin never mentioned this.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37I never told Caitlin.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39She has the right to know.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42I've had this two or three times to deal with.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Caitlin's been dealing with this her whole life.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48You can't expect Maggie to sit in the house all day doing nothing.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Boredom's what drives people to drink.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55Inactivity. With a job, she has purpose.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58No. She's got access.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00I'll keep an eye on her, Ellie.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02It won't be enough. Look, I could smell drink in the house today.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08You should try trusting her. I do.
0:35:17 > 0:35:18To Malcolm.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21- Malcolm.- Malcolm.
0:35:23 > 0:35:28Oh, ho, ho, ho. That'll put hairs on your chest.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Are you all right, Dad?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Aye, I'm all right.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42What?
0:35:43 > 0:35:48Nothing, it's just... I never really thought about the...you know.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50What?
0:35:50 > 0:35:51The toilet.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Oh. Right. Do you want me to go and get Ellie?
0:35:54 > 0:36:00No, no, I'll be fine, we'll finish these and then we'll head on, yeah?
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Are you sure you're all right, drinking that? A full pint?
0:36:03 > 0:36:04Glad you find it funny.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06TEXT ALERT
0:36:10 > 0:36:11What's up?
0:36:11 > 0:36:14It's Jules! She's at the close.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Well, if she wants a fight, she can have one.
0:36:16 > 0:36:21What? Frankie...hold on a second. Frankie!
0:36:24 > 0:36:25Frankie!
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- Excuse me, mate? Will you give us a wee hand, please?- Aye, no problem.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Take that.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39Go on, yep, yep.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Cheers.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44- That's you.- Yep.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Come on, then, boss. Put me out my misery.
0:36:51 > 0:36:52Same time tomorrow?
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Same time tomorrow.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57You know, I don't care what the rest of them around here say about
0:36:57 > 0:37:01you, as far as I'm concerned, you are a diamond of a doll.
0:37:04 > 0:37:09What do they say? Oh, never mind. And here.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12What's that for?
0:37:12 > 0:37:17- For today. Go buy yourself something nice with it.- Aw, thanks.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42- Right, come on, then. - That e-mail was blank.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43I won't do your work for you, Frankie.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Are you still going on about this boring science test?
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- You said you would.- You said we were mates and look how that worked out.
0:37:49 > 0:37:50Because you slept with Drew!
0:37:50 > 0:37:52I did you a favour!
0:37:52 > 0:37:53No, Frankie, you filmed it.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56It was the only way I knew you'd believe me.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Drew was using you and you were too doe-eyed and loved up to see it.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- Don't you care about failing? - No, not really.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04We can't all be Little Miss Perfect with top grades.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Guess you're going to have to tell Mumsy and Dadsy that
0:38:07 > 0:38:09you're a let-down like the rest of us.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13It's nice to see so many people have turned up for Malcolm, eh?
0:38:13 > 0:38:15And for Liz.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16Cash up front?
0:38:16 > 0:38:19The auld witch wouldn't sub me last week when I asked.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21I better go, right.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23You should try and get on the boss's good side.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26And not calling her a witch might be a good start, too.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Maggie. A word, please.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33- I was just going to...- Now.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41You don't know anything about me or my family.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Perfect? There's nothing perfect about my life.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47You think you've got it hard because Mummy and you don't see eye to eye?
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Big deal! At least you've got a mum and a dad.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Aw. Do you need a little tissue there, Jules?
0:38:53 > 0:38:56You have no idea what it's like for me.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00- You and Drew were the only two things I thought I could count on. - That was stupid of you, wasn't it?
0:39:00 > 0:39:03You ruin everything, Frankie. Me and Drew. Me and you.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Your dad came home for Christmas and what did you do?
0:39:05 > 0:39:07Push him away, and look how that turned out.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- He's like that because of you. - Hoi, you two.
0:39:11 > 0:39:16Thanks, mate. Quit it, I said that is enough!
0:39:16 > 0:39:20See, if I could, I would bang the pair of your thick skulls together.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24Francesca Louise, as God is my witness, I would have dragged you up
0:39:24 > 0:39:28them stairs by the scruff of your neck and straight into your room.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31But lucky for you, I can't. Well, can I?
0:39:32 > 0:39:33Can I?
0:39:41 > 0:39:45I won't beat about the bush, there was a presentation bottle of malt
0:39:45 > 0:39:51whisky given to me by the brewers, as a thank you, worth almost £200.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Oh, I saw it. It's on the living room table.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57The box is there, but the bottle has gone.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00So, you thought you'd ask Shieldinch's resident drunk
0:40:00 > 0:40:02if she'd half-inched it?
0:40:02 > 0:40:04I'm only trying to ascertain...
0:40:04 > 0:40:05Ascertain?
0:40:05 > 0:40:06Listen to the Queen of Sheba.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Mouth filled up with the Oxford Dictionary.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Yet not an ounce of sense in her heid. Are you calling me...?
0:40:11 > 0:40:13She might be a drunk but my mother's no thief.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15That's for sure.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Then you won't mind my searching your bag?
0:40:17 > 0:40:19You're not searching nothing. I...
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Search away. She's nothing to hide.
0:40:33 > 0:40:34Nothing indeed.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36I didn't put that there!
0:40:36 > 0:40:37Aye, right.
0:40:37 > 0:40:38I swear.
0:40:38 > 0:40:39Save it.
0:40:41 > 0:40:42You've got this wrong.
0:40:43 > 0:40:44I doubt it.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Frankie - have you done the work for the assessment?
0:40:49 > 0:40:50Dad, I don't see how this is...
0:40:50 > 0:40:53A simple yes or no, please?
0:40:53 > 0:40:54Yes.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Right, well, then, e-mail it to her.
0:40:58 > 0:40:59Now!
0:41:07 > 0:41:08Is that it sent?
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Why do you keep playing these stupid games, Frankie?
0:41:11 > 0:41:15And as for you, you're just as bad as each other.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17Sorry. I was upset.
0:41:17 > 0:41:22Fortunately for you, I'm a very forgiving man. It's in my nature.
0:41:22 > 0:41:23I can't help it.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26I accept your apology, but you're going to do me a favour.
0:41:26 > 0:41:27- OK?- OK.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31Good. Tonight, our house at seven o'clock,
0:41:31 > 0:41:34- we're having a few people round for some birthday cocktails.- Wha...?
0:41:35 > 0:41:38As far as I can see it, Frankie could do with a friend
0:41:38 > 0:41:39and so could you.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Now go on, get out of my sight until tonight.
0:41:46 > 0:41:47You...
0:41:47 > 0:41:51Not a word, Frankie, please. Not a word.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Someone put that bottle in my bag.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56No, Mum. You've been found out.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01And now you're chucked out.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05All these dramatics over one bottle of whisky that I didn't even take!
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Well, fine. I'll go.
0:42:08 > 0:42:09I know where I'm not wanted.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Did you ever think for one minute why I do drink, Caitlin?
0:42:15 > 0:42:20Have you ever given it any thought, what drove me to it?
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Please don't do this, big yin.
0:42:28 > 0:42:29I need you.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32I cannae do this on my own.
0:42:36 > 0:42:41We'll get through this. You can't deny that you haven't missed me.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48You moving to Spain was the best thing that ever happened to
0:42:48 > 0:42:49this family.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52I told myself you were dead.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Drank yourself to oblivion.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57Cos that way I could sleep easier at night.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Well, you'll not have to pretend any more, will you?
0:43:24 > 0:43:25Alex is on his way.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31Dad? Dad?
0:43:33 > 0:43:35Will you speak to me? Please?
0:43:35 > 0:43:38I just wanted to go for a quiet drink, that was all - but you
0:43:38 > 0:43:42couldn't do it, could you? You had to create all this carnage.
0:43:42 > 0:43:44All you had to do was send that stuff to Jules but you
0:43:44 > 0:43:47- deliberately didn't, just to wind her up.- Dad, it's...- It's just what?
0:43:49 > 0:43:51It's fun. It's a laugh.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53It's not fun. It's vindictive, Frankie.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58I thought me and your mother brought you up to be better than that.
0:43:58 > 0:43:59She didn't bring me up at all.
0:43:59 > 0:44:03She shipped me off to boarding school in the middle of nowhere and forgot about me.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06Have you any idea how expensive boarding school is?
0:44:06 > 0:44:10You got it paid for you! I was like a freebie.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13A work perk. Yay. No Frankie cluttering up the house.
0:44:13 > 0:44:17I chose to stay in the Army for you, to give you a head start,
0:44:17 > 0:44:20- to give you the opportunities that I never had.- Yeah.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22And she was only too quick to pack my case and shove
0:44:22 > 0:44:25me out the door while she ran off skipping, law books in hand.
0:44:25 > 0:44:27Your mother's an intelligent woman,
0:44:27 > 0:44:30you just want her to throw it all down the drain?
0:44:30 > 0:44:31She was happy to for Katie.
0:44:31 > 0:44:36Frankie, that was different. She had her qualifications by then.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40I just thought that it would be easier - not easier,
0:44:40 > 0:44:44that it would be better for us all if you went to boarding school.
0:44:44 > 0:44:46It was your idea?
0:44:46 > 0:44:48We were practically babies ourselves.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50I didn't want us to mess you up.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52Well, that didn't happen, did it?
0:44:54 > 0:44:58Frankie, me and your mother, we love you.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00Yeah, you just don't like me.
0:45:00 > 0:45:02That's not true.
0:45:05 > 0:45:09Look, I was forever running away and hope that your mother would
0:45:09 > 0:45:11clear up the mess that I left behind.
0:45:12 > 0:45:16Maybe we're not that different after all?
0:45:16 > 0:45:17Like father like daughter.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22Let's just try and see if we can get through this, yeah?
0:45:24 > 0:45:26Come here.
0:45:33 > 0:45:35Now, if Alex doesn't hurry up,
0:45:35 > 0:45:37I'm going to be flooding this close soon.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52Suzie! Suzie, please, please.
0:45:54 > 0:45:55I know how it looks.
0:45:55 > 0:45:59But I swear on my lassies' life I didn't take that bottle.
0:45:59 > 0:46:01So, how did it end up in your bag?
0:46:02 > 0:46:04Someone put it there. I don't know.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07You can do better than that.
0:46:07 > 0:46:09I know how it sounds, but I didn't...
0:46:09 > 0:46:12Margaret. You need help!
0:46:12 > 0:46:15I don't need help. I need a chance.
0:46:15 > 0:46:17I need someone to believe me!
0:46:17 > 0:46:23Yes, well, I'm afraid you've already had that from me.
0:46:38 > 0:46:39All right there, Maggie May?
0:46:39 > 0:46:41Aye, I'm fine.
0:46:41 > 0:46:43I'm just checking to see if the mascara's actually waterproof.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46What do you think, Sherlock?
0:46:46 > 0:46:47A fight with Caitlin?
0:46:49 > 0:46:53Do you think I'm going to really jump you for your out-of-date booze?
0:46:53 > 0:46:54It's not out of...
0:46:56 > 0:46:58Typical.
0:47:00 > 0:47:03Do you want a wee cup of tea, Maggie?
0:47:03 > 0:47:07One cup. I might just stretch to a wee chocolate biscuit.
0:47:09 > 0:47:10Fine.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14Just don't give me any of that herbal crap.
0:47:14 > 0:47:16OK.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28You all right?
0:47:28 > 0:47:31Aye... No...
0:47:31 > 0:47:33Do you think it's OK to do a bad thing even if it's for
0:47:33 > 0:47:35the right reasons?
0:47:35 > 0:47:38Why? Have you been cooking meth over at number 13?
0:47:38 > 0:47:41Look, if you're doing something that you know is bad then there's
0:47:41 > 0:47:43never a right reason for it.
0:47:43 > 0:47:46Unless you mean that time me and Pete slashed Alex's tyres.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48Cos that was a good thing for a good reason.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50What've I done?
0:47:50 > 0:47:52Well, I'll not know unless you tell me.
0:47:52 > 0:47:57I didn't think it through. I just - I'm sure if I just...
0:47:57 > 0:47:59AJ, what if you're the one that's done the bad thing?
0:47:59 > 0:48:01How'd you make it better?
0:48:01 > 0:48:02Say sorry.
0:48:02 > 0:48:05Or, in my case, say nothing and hope that Alex doesn't find out.
0:48:05 > 0:48:06Better get back to work, eh?
0:48:06 > 0:48:07No, I need to go.
0:48:09 > 0:48:11- Can it not wait? - I can't. I need to sort something.
0:48:11 > 0:48:12Sorry.
0:48:15 > 0:48:19My mate says it's a shame you hadn't fastened up your zip,
0:48:19 > 0:48:20wee man.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22You were always a daft sod.
0:48:22 > 0:48:25Do you want a refill?
0:48:25 > 0:48:26No, I'm fine.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29So, are you going to the meetings, then?
0:48:29 > 0:48:31That's my business.
0:48:33 > 0:48:37See, in the hospital, I liked all that. The talking.
0:48:37 > 0:48:40Hospital? Don't you mean the loonie bin?
0:48:43 > 0:48:45This is nice, isn't it?
0:48:45 > 0:48:50What? Tea? Aye, who'd have thunk it?
0:48:50 > 0:48:54No. Us. Not fighting.
0:48:56 > 0:49:01You know, Caitlin said she would rather I was dead.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06I'll have a word with her.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09And I put in a good word for you at Amber Cabs, desk job.
0:49:09 > 0:49:14Stop being nice tae me, Pete. You'll get me going again.
0:49:14 > 0:49:16You've got a lot going for you, Maggie.
0:49:17 > 0:49:19You're still a fine-looking woman.
0:49:21 > 0:49:27Oh. Oh, now I see what this is all about.
0:49:27 > 0:49:29You get me round here playing at the pal.
0:49:29 > 0:49:31And all the time you're playing me.
0:49:31 > 0:49:33No. You've got it wrong.
0:49:33 > 0:49:35Paws off.
0:49:35 > 0:49:37Maggie. Don't be like that.
0:49:37 > 0:49:39You've got the wrong end of the stick.
0:49:39 > 0:49:41Aye, right! Course you're going to fire in.
0:49:41 > 0:49:42I've got a pulse.
0:49:42 > 0:49:45No... Maggie! No, Maggie.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48I'm not... I'm not gonnae fire into you. I'm not!
0:49:48 > 0:49:49DOOR SLAMS
0:49:55 > 0:49:58I can't believe how many people have shown up.
0:49:58 > 0:50:01He was a very well-liked man, Liz.
0:50:02 > 0:50:06- And you're a good friend, Molly. - I know.
0:50:07 > 0:50:11- There's one behind the bar for you, Liz. God rest him.- Thank you, dear.
0:50:14 > 0:50:15Suzie, where's my mum?
0:50:15 > 0:50:20Stealing I can cope with, almost understand, but the lying.
0:50:20 > 0:50:21No.
0:50:21 > 0:50:25The whisky, you found it, didn't you, in her bag?
0:50:25 > 0:50:26How did you know it was in her bag?
0:50:29 > 0:50:30Ellie, what have you done?
0:50:30 > 0:50:32You and Caitlin were pretending everything was OK,
0:50:32 > 0:50:34and it wasn't, so I... I...
0:50:34 > 0:50:36What did you do?
0:50:37 > 0:50:39Oh, you idiot!
0:50:39 > 0:50:40I was only trying to help.
0:50:40 > 0:50:44And anyway, you know the truth now so, no damage done, eh?
0:50:44 > 0:50:50I saw her only ten minutes ago out in the street with a suitcase.
0:50:50 > 0:50:53Oh!
0:50:53 > 0:50:55Thanks very much, darling. You call back now.
0:51:00 > 0:51:03- STUTTERING:- Bottle of vodka, please?
0:51:03 > 0:51:05- What size?- The big one. A litre.
0:51:05 > 0:51:08- Anything else? Champagne's still going cheap.- No.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12All right.
0:51:13 > 0:51:16That's 16.50, doll.
0:51:16 > 0:51:17Thanking you.
0:51:22 > 0:51:2450 change, darling. Thanks.
0:52:12 > 0:52:14- Where's Mum?- Out.
0:52:14 > 0:52:16Out where?
0:52:16 > 0:52:19I told you, first sign she was back on the booze, out.
0:52:19 > 0:52:20What is it?
0:52:22 > 0:52:24It wasn't her, it was me.
0:52:24 > 0:52:27I thought Suzie would just sack her and she'd find a job somewhere else.
0:52:27 > 0:52:28So she never stole?
0:52:30 > 0:52:33- Why would you do that? - Well, somebody had to do something!
0:52:33 > 0:52:37Dry your eyes. Move. Now! Come on!
0:53:09 > 0:53:11Scarlett, have you seen my mum?
0:53:11 > 0:53:13She was here, I don't know, about 20 minutes ago.
0:53:13 > 0:53:14What'd she buy?
0:53:14 > 0:53:17Well, she didn't buy the champagne anyway. It was a pure bargain.
0:53:17 > 0:53:19- Thank God. - She bought a bottle of voddy, but.
0:53:19 > 0:53:23- Thanks.- Mum...- Come on!
0:53:24 > 0:53:25What's the point?
0:53:25 > 0:53:28If you start greeting, I'm going to slap you. Move!
0:53:36 > 0:53:38Have you seen my ma?
0:53:39 > 0:53:42Aye. She didn't look happy.
0:53:42 > 0:53:43Pete, come on, we need to find her.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46Think, is there anywhere she would go?
0:53:46 > 0:53:47If she needed a drink she'd...
0:53:47 > 0:53:50She's got the drink, all she needs now is a place to drink it!
0:53:50 > 0:53:53- Maybe it's not a drink she's needing.- Of course it is.
0:53:53 > 0:53:56Open your eyes, you might find her.
0:53:56 > 0:53:58Wait, Pete...
0:54:05 > 0:54:10I've been sober for 12 weeks and five days.
0:54:13 > 0:54:14And, today...
0:54:16 > 0:54:18..today...
0:54:18 > 0:54:20I needed this.
0:54:23 > 0:54:26I've had this bottle for the last half-hour.
0:54:28 > 0:54:31I haven't drank it...yet.
0:54:33 > 0:54:38But I know if I do, for a few minutes I'll feel happy.
0:54:41 > 0:54:42But it'll not last.
0:54:45 > 0:54:51I'm 54 years old and I'm sad and pathetic...
0:54:52 > 0:54:55..and I'm a terrible mother and I'm...
0:54:57 > 0:54:59I'm lonely.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04And I'm a failure...
0:55:04 > 0:55:06at everything.
0:55:08 > 0:55:10Except today.
0:55:12 > 0:55:16With this I managed to...
0:55:18 > 0:55:22Well, I didn't drink this, and I could've, but I didn't.
0:55:24 > 0:55:28So, today, there was something I didn't fail at.
0:55:31 > 0:55:33'And that's a start...
0:55:34 > 0:55:38'..because if I can manage to get through today...
0:55:40 > 0:55:41'..and still not drink...
0:55:43 > 0:55:47'..then maybe I'll get through another day sober.
0:55:49 > 0:55:53'Maybe I'll get to 12 weeks and six days.
0:55:54 > 0:55:55'And then...
0:55:58 > 0:56:00'Well, wouldn't it be something...
0:56:01 > 0:56:03'..if I didn't have to count any more?'
0:56:07 > 0:56:11'And I really think that this time I can do it.
0:56:13 > 0:56:14'For my lassies, you know?
0:56:16 > 0:56:18'Because I need to do right by them.'
0:56:19 > 0:56:21Come on.
0:56:21 > 0:56:26Mum, I put that whisky in your bag. I'm really sorry.
0:56:26 > 0:56:29- I didn't mean it.- It's OK.
0:56:31 > 0:56:34I didn't want it happening again.
0:56:34 > 0:56:35I'm sorry.
0:56:40 > 0:56:41Don't go jumping to conclusions.
0:56:41 > 0:56:43You don't know anything about this girl.
0:56:43 > 0:56:44I know what I saw, Alex.
0:56:44 > 0:56:46I run a nightclub, not a refuge.
0:56:46 > 0:56:48If I interfere, do you know the grief that could bring us?
0:56:48 > 0:56:51It would be a big loss of income to me if you're going to be a killjoy.
0:56:51 > 0:56:53It would appear I am a single woman again.
0:56:53 > 0:56:56Have a celebration. Invite some fellow divorcees.
0:56:56 > 0:56:59Taking you back, that's my sister's biggest mistake.
0:56:59 > 0:57:00What's going on?
0:57:00 > 0:57:02I heard her, she was, like, really in his face.
0:57:02 > 0:57:04What have you been saying to Greig behind my back?
