Episode 4 The Syndicate

-Have you got a boyfriend?

-No.

-He had to go. This job came up.

They sent him home

and he died two months later.

I know your type - you think money's everything.

-I don't, I'll give you some.

-I don't want your money!

-Do you think you deserved to win £14 million on the lottery?

-Why not?

cos you're a lying benefit cheat, that's why.

-Nurse.

-Alan, this way.

Excuse me. Just a minute. Just a minute.

Is it true that you lost the ticket?

-Yeah, that was my fault.

-What's your name, love?

Rebecca Atkinson, but people call me Becky.

You must've freaked out, Becky when you realised you'd given

THE lottery ticket to a complete stranger, a boy you'd only just met!

Yeah cos if he'd signed his name on the back of it,

he'd have been £72 million better off.

Do you think HE knew that?

Erm, no, but I wasn't going to tell him.

# All or nothing Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

# All or nothing I kept on singing to myself

# All or nothing

# Yeah, for me, yeah #

I don't know how newspapers found out you were on benefits?

Somebody must've told 'em.

Nobody knew, except you and Mandy!

Well, me mam wouldn't have told anyone and I definitely haven't.

Anyway, we don't know if they've got the photograph,

it might've been too dark, mine always turn out blurry.

# Whether you're a brother Or whether you're a mother

# You're stayin' alive Stayin' Alive... #

ALL: # Ah, ah, ah, ah stayin' alive

# Stayin' alive Ah, ah, ah, ah

# Stayin' alive Stayin' alive

# Ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive... #

Come on, sweetheart, we're home.

I know you're tired, but you can go straight to bed when we get in.

-Can you manage?

-We're fine, love. You don't have to see us in.

You just get yourself back off to the party, eh?

All right. Night.

Good night, love.

Hey, this will be you in a few weeks time, Rose! With your knees!

THEY LAUGH

You lot carry on, I'm going up to bed. I've got a head from hell.

Sorry, you do look knackered.

Right, that's it, come on party's over, folks, let's go!

-Can't we just turn the music down?

-I think your mam needs some shuteye.

-What about a nightclub?

-Natalie's on nights this week, so might as well!

-Do you mind if I go, Mam?

-No, just make sure you all stick together.

-Yay!

-Go get changed!

-Give us a hand.

-Come on.

PHONE RINGS

-Hello!

-'Hiya, it's me.'

-Hiya.

'We're off to Zibbie's, can you bring me my blue hooker heels?

-'They're in the hall, ask me mum, she'll give you 'em.'

-OK.

-'You weren't on your way back, were you?'

-No, no, it's all right.

'Aw cheers, babe, see ya.'

-MUFFLED:

-Help! Help, I'm down here.

-MUFFLED:

-Help! Can someone hear me?

I'm back, I told you I wouldn't be long, didn't I?

I've put our Reah to bed, she was shattered, bless her.

Now then, I think there's a film on the other side you'd like.

Feels funny me having the control.

Hello!

Mrs Atkinson!

It's Luke. Mrs Atkinson.

'Hello?'

-MUFFLED:

-Help! Help! Help!

Hello?

Oh, you frightened me to death!

Sorry, I knocked, but...

-Becky asked me to get her blue shoes.

-Oh!

-MUFFLED:

-'Down here! Please!'

I'm just trying out the old telly in the cellar,

Reah's been asking for one in her bedroom.

-Do you want me to lift it up there?

-No, it's fine, it's...

the picture's gone all fuzzy.

I'll you get her shoes.

-MUFFLED:

-'Please!'

-I should've stayed with her.

-What for? She's gone to bed.

She'll be all right.

I hope so. Maybe they won't put her picture in the paper.

If they do, we'll all be there for her. Every step of the way.

I don't know where Luke is with me shoes.

Hey, I tell you what, I think me and you's the oldest in this queue.

Yeah, thanks for pointing that out, mate. There you go.

That's the house me and Natalie looked at yesterday.

-Bloody hell. It's a mansion.

-It's massive!

Six bedrooms, we've put an offer in.

Don't let them see you doing that or they won't let you in.

-Hey, you working' tomorrow?

-No, thank God. I've only got another week and I'm done.

It's a shame you haven't finished your NVQ.

I'm never going to do it, though, am I? I mean bedpans, puke and all that. No way.

-Have you told your mam you're leaving?

-No.

But it's only fair, if I leave somebody else can have a job.

-So what are you going to do all day?

-Don't know.

Travel, buy things, drive me BMW convertible.

I've already had a couple of driving lessons

and Luke's been taking me out, practising me corners

-and keeping me on the right side of the road.

-Yeah, it helps

-if you keep on right side of the road. He seems all right.

-He is.

He never says anything about me giving him the lottery ticket and he could.

And he always pays for everything when we go out,

even though he knows I'm loaded.

-Here he is.

-You all right?

-Thanks, babe.

Hey-hey. Look at these coming.

Evening, ladies... No, no, they've gone.

I bet they get straight in, no problem.

-I'm definitely having a boob job.

-Stop it, will you?

-Don't be stupid, you're all right as you are, you're perfect.

-I wish.

That's Matt Greco and Aaron Styles, they play for the Bulls.

-Why don't you say hello to them, they might be able to get us in?

-I'm not doing that.

Please, I'm frozen!

I bet they're with them girls with the big boobs...

Yep, you're right. And I bet they get straight in as well.

That's cos they've got VIP passes, all the Bulls have got 'em.

-Right!

-Where are you going?

She's going to get us in. Come on. Excuse me. Sorry. Excuse me.

-Excuse me?

-Yes, love?

Is it all right if we go in as well, cos we're with them?

-What's your name?

-Becky, I'm with me boyfriend, Luke Summers,

-he works for the Bulls.

-Sorry love, his name's not down here.

Well it should be, anyway we're all lottery winners.

-Yeah, right.

-We are. Tell him.

-72 million smackers.

-It's all right, let's just...

-We've been in all the papers.

-Come on, let's get back in the queue.

Come on, let us in, we're wasting valuable drinking time.

-I think you've had enough, pal.

-What do you mean?

-Isn't it past your bedtime?

-I'll decide when I go to bed. Pal.

Come on, mate. I'll drop you off home.

I'm not going home. The night is young, I'm young. Come on.

-I better make sure he's all right. Enjoy.

-We will.

-See you later.

Three, please. Thank you.

-What do you want?

-Get us a couple of fishbowls and three Jagerbombs.

-Do you want some money?

-No, you're all right.

-Becky!

-Tamsen!

-Oh, my God! I heard you won the lottery!

-It's true!

-14 million.

-Oh, my God!

I've got a flash car and I'm having driving lessons. I'm rich!

-Oh, my God, Becky! That is mental!

-I know.

-Who's that?

-Matt somebody.

He plays for Bradford Bulls.

He's seriously gorgeous.

I wonder how much it costs to get in the VIP room?

You have to be on the guest list or sometimes they let you in

-if it's your birthday.

-I could say it's mine tomorrow.

Nah. They check your ID.

-Who are you waving at?

-Oh, your mate, but he waved at me first.

-Aww, thanks, baby. Do you remember Tamsen?

-Yeah. Hiya.

-Hi. You wouldn't get me a drink, would you? I'm totally skint.

-Course.

-It's all right. I'll get it.

-Are you sure?

Thanks.

Awww. He's such a cutie. He's well into you.

-Do you think so?

-Yeah.

-But then you can have anyone you like now.

-What do you mean?

You've won the lottery, you're seriously rich.

So, everyone's going to be after you.

-Really?

-Course.

Oh! Free table.

So...

What are you going to spend your money on?

-I don't know, some pretty clothes for Reah.

-Yeah.

-I might get a boob job.

-No way!

Yeah, a D-cup at least.

I've got a meeting with an investment person.

The lottery people set it up, so that I can live off the interest.

-Oh, my God! You are so lucky!

-I know.

I'm doing them chat lines now with Lisa. It's awful.

-You get these creeps phoning up and you can here them wanking.

-Ugh!

-That's well rank.

-I know, but, it pays dead well and I'm so skint,

-I can't even pay my rent.

-Do you want to borrow some money?

-Oh Becks,

I can't. I don't know when I'll be able to pay you back.

It don't matter... There's a hundred quid

-Don't worry about paying me back.

-No way!

-I can't take all this!

-Course you can. I can afford it.

-Are your sure?

-Yeah.

-Oh, my God, you're a life-saver, Becky.

-Look who I found.

-Oh, thanks, Luke.

-Hiya.

-Hiya.

-I said you were a fan.

Well, I don't really follow rugby, but I've heard a lot about you.

Look, none of it's true, unless it's that I'm a good player.

-Yeah, he's that all right.

-Cheers, mate.

I'm trying to make a good impression here.

-You'll be splashed all over the papers when it comes...

-Shhh!

Look, I'm not supposed to say 'owt, it's top secret.

Aw, tell us.

Oh, don't worry, I won't say anything.

I know what it's like to be splashed all over the papers.

-Cheers!

-Cheers!

So, what's it like in the VIP room?

It's all right, not as crowded as down here.

Do you want to come up, I can sign you in?

No, you're all right, I'm with me friends.

-I don't mind.

-You should go.

I can sign them in as well if you like?

I'm doing textiles and languages cos I want to work in fashion.

Is that her that does the weather on Look North?

Who do you mean?

Her there with the red bag and dark hair?

Yeah, you know, like have my own range...

Yeah, definitely Keeley Donovan.

And I'm sure him over there is out of Casualty.

Hey, I got pink cos I thought you girls might like it.

ALL: Yeah!

-See? It's no big deal up here is it?

-It's much better than down there.

-Loads better.

It's OK.

So, err... Luke tells me you won the lottery.

I told you not to say anything!

Not me personally, I'm in a syndicate.

-That won 72 million!

-Wow!

And she's splashing it around, making sure her mates are all right.

So, you're buying the next round then, yeah?

-Yeah, if you like.

-Don't say that, he means it.

I don't care, I've got loads of money.

Rich chick, eh?

Pour them will you, darling?

So, we've got this do on tomorrow night,

you're more than welcome to come.

-Where is it?

-The Great Victoria Hotel. Top of Horton Road.

-Swanky!

-That's the idea.

-Can I come?

-We've got a couple of spare tables, so

-if you know anyone that's loaded and wants to buy one.

-I'll ask.

So, tell me did you meet Luke before or after you'd won the lottery?

-What? You're such a tosser, Greco.

-Luke!

Look, I'm just interested that's all.

He's fishing about. He thinks I'm after you for your money.

Well, I met her before.

No, we met the same night I won.

There's a load of us going back to their house for an end of exams party.

-Can he come?

-Course, the more the merrier.

No, it's all right, I've got to go.

Aww, come on, it'll be a laugh!

I'm training at seven in the morning. I'll ring you?

-How are you going to do that, if you don't have me number?

-What is it?

07700 900726. You'll never remember that!

I will.

-Come on. Are we going? They're waiting outside.

-You won't!

Come on... We've got to go.

-You better ring me.

-I will.

Ta-ra then.

Luke, is that you?

Yeah.

We've gone up a rank, I scored a goal.

Did you, mate? Well done.

What do you think of that?

Ronaldo was trying to get it, but I just kept going,

and then I booted it and it went straight in the net.

Hiya!

Gerrard passed it to me and I wasn't going to let him down,

he was well pleased.

Lottery's on, love.

I've got it on pause for you to look at it.

Do you want to do a replay?

Not a cat in hell's chance...

Luke!

Luke!

This is it, look.

I'm running up, and here comes Ronaldo,

oh, what a ball that is. Luke, are you watching?

Watch! Did you see that?

Great pass, good shot.

And then Messi's coming up here.

Oh, I just skilled him.

I just skilled Messi, Luke.

Watch this bit. Watch! Watch! Watch!

They're going to shoot now.

Goal!

# Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole

# Ole, Ole! #

Jonathan! Breakfast will be five minutes.

Did you ask his social worker if he could go to outdoor centre again?

I forgot.

It's important, Mam, it's been nearly a year since he went

and he was so different when he came back.

Yeah, I know, I'll ask her next time I see her,

but I don't think it's his turn yet.

Tell 'em I'll go with him and help out.

I've got two weeks of holiday to take or I'll lose 'em.

Take him somewhere else then, see if you can get a package holiday.

I'm not going to do that after what happened last time.

For heaven's sake, it's not going to happen again.

Anyway, I can't afford to take him anywhere else.

Well, forget about it, then.

You heard what that doctor said,

he needs stimulation or he's never going to get any better.

He's not going to get better, Luke! His brain's done in.

It's not your fault he got on the back of your scooter.

You're his brother, not his keeper.

Get over it and stop making me feel bad.

RADIO: 'Last night's Euro Lottery winner jackpot

'was won by someone in the Yorkshire region.'

'And just to remind you, the numbers are 5, 8, 17, 19, 29

'and the lucky diamonds are 4 and 11.'

'I've checked mine and unfortunately it's not me.'

Start getting ready, Jonathan.

Maureen's picking you up in half an hour.

I'm watching this.

No, you're not. Go get washed, go on!

If I cleaned me teeth last night, do I have to do them again?

Yeah, you have to clean your teeth every morning and every night

or they'll fall out. Go on!

Jonathan.

Yeah?

Would you like you and me to go on holiday again?

Yeah! Holiday with Luke!

Yeah! Holiday!

Woo-hoo!

Mum, I'm going on holiday with Luke!

Yes!

What are you doing?

What's it look like? Checking me lottery numbers.

You've booked two weeks of holiday on t'chart.

Yeah, I'm going to take our Jonathan away. Somewhere hot.

Well, you'll have to get some help in,

cos I can't handle it on me own out there.

It ain't that hard.

I checked mine first thing. Someone in Yorkshire's won again.

Lucky sods. I got two numbers.

What would you do if you'd got all five and the lucky diamonds?

Go mental, what do you think.

Anything else?

Becky! Do you want a flapjack?

No, I don't want anything, just some...

Oh, my God, it's him from last night!

Hiya!

Hiya.

How much is that?

£7.50, please.

You didn't ring me.

I've been a bit busy. Milk and sugar's at the end.

This is...

Luke.

Luke, that's it! I knew it was Luke.

Nice to meet you, mate.

I've got you a tea and a flapjack, I'll let you two have a chat.

Is that your boyfriend?

What? No! No, I told you I didn't have a boyfriend.

That's Tom. We all work together at St Anthony's.

Right.

Can we talk?

Well, it's a bit difficult, cos I'm supposed to be working.

Don't worry, I'm not stalking you.

It's just I really thought you'd ring me,

and I wrote my number on a bit of paper.

Yeah, I remember.

And you seem a really nice guy.

Well, I were going to ring you, but I knew your battery had died,

and I lost your number.

You lost my number?

Are you joking?

How could you do that?

I'm sorry.

You've lost my number?

Is that the truth or did you just chuck it in a bin somewhere?

What does it matter?

It matters, trust me!

Where were you when you lost it?

I don't know.

But it's definitely gone?

Yeah.

-You're lying.

-I'm not.

It's really, really important that you tell me the truth.

I mean, you lied about being a rugby player, you could be lying...

All right, all right.

I've got it.

You've got it?

Yeah. There you go.

I love you!

I've never been in this bit before.

Me neither.

It's well posh!

Oh, my God.

I'd better ring me mum.

OK, Dan, everything's in here, tablets, dressings...

Cheers.

Can I take a look at your paper?

Yeah, you can keep it lad, I've read it.

Is that Rose who works here?

Aye.

That's a shame, I liked her.

Will you say ta-ra to Mandy for me?

I hope she feels better soon.

Will do. Watch how you go, mate.

£37, please.

There you go. Keep the change.

Thank you.

Shit a brick!

Yeah, she's front page.

Oh, my God, that's terrible. She'll be in a right state.

Mmmm!

Someone'll have to check she's all right.

I'll ring Alan and Tom and tell 'em.

Well, someone will have to go.

I suppose I could go after I've finished in town,

but right now I'm shopping for a killer dress.

Yeah!

All right, thanks for letting me know, love.

I'll speak to you later, ta-ra.

That's fantastic. Try it on.

Yeah.

So there's this rugby do tonight, Mam.

Ow! You friggin' stupid bitch!

Don't call me names.

Untie me now or I'll bloody kill you!

That's not very nice, is it?

So shall I get you a ticket as well? Mam?

I mean it! Did you hear what I said?

You think you're going to get away with this?

You'll do time for this!

'Hello?'

-'Mum.'

-Becky!

Mum, are you still there?

Becky! I'm trapped under the...

Mum! Can you hear me?

'I'm still here!'

Hello?

Yeah. I forgot to push the red button again, didn't I, love?

Was that my dad?

No, your dad's not here.

I'm watching the EastEnders omnibus.

Where are you?

Leeds. It just sounded like my dad.

Listen, do you want to come to that rugby do tonight?

It's at that posh hotel.

How much is that?

2,800.

What, for a ticket?

No, Mam, I'm talking to Tamsen.

There's one just like that in Primani for £14.

No, I don't feel up to it, love,

and you'll just have to start looking for a babysitter.

How is our Reah?

Yeah, she's fine.

I'll give her a kiss from you.

All right, bye!

See you!

GASPING

Oh!

Oh!

Rose is on t'front page of t'paper. She'll be ever so upset.

Now you're not going to be able to have your chips, are you?

And I made them specially for you.

Oh!

Oh, my God. That is so awesome!

There you go.

Can I help you?

Do what?

Are you looking for anything in particular?

-Yeah.

-Dress.

Can I take those off you?

No, why?

I'm not going to steal 'em. I've got money, I've won the lottery.

I was just going to put them in a fitting room for you.

Oh.

All right, thanks.

And then I can look for some more?

Of course, or you could start trying these

and I'll have a look for some more dresses you might like.

Do you want some evening shoes to try on with them?

Why not? I'm a size five.

And I'm a six.

OK. The fitting room's this way.

I'm confused, why do you need shoes?

Window shopping, costs nothing.

You don't get this in Primani.

MUSIC: "Sexy And I Know It" by LMFAO

# I'm sexy and I know it

# I'm sexy and I know it. #

I would sell a kidney for this dress.

It's cute.

Mega.

You look like you should be on the red carpet in that.

# Security just can't fight them off

# And when I'm at the beach

# I'm in a Speedo trying to tan my cheeks. #

Tamsen!

Tamsen!

What?

I'm stuck!

What's up?

I can't get it off, you'll have to help me!

I think it's coming!

Oh, do you need a bigger size?

It's coming!

Sorry, it ripped.

We'll pay for it.

Oh, it's fine. I'll send it through to alterations. They'll fix it.

Are you sure?

Yeah. It's only the seam.

You've got that on back to front.

Oh.

I thought summat wasn't right.

Would you like me to put any of them back, or...?

Not yet, I haven't decided which to have, they're all amazing.

I don't believe you bought six dresses.

Seven.

What?

I bought that green sparkly one, it was so you.

No way! Oh, my God, Becky, I can't believe you did that.

It cost such a lot of money.

Yeah, well, I've got a load of money and you're my best friend.

I just need a bling bag and jewellery now.

Luke!

Hiya.

Hiya.

Thanks for picking me up, babe.

You seen this?

Yeah, it's awful, isn't it.

Terrible.

Car's just down here.

So, what've you bought?

-Everything.

-Whole of Leeds.

And I've got you a suit, a shirt and some shoes.

Thanks, but you didn't have to.

I know I didn't, but I wanted to. I want you to look good.

I got a dress as well.

You couldn't wangle me a ticket to the Bulls do, could you?

Ask Becky, she's buying a table.

You've got no money.

So?

Right, get in. You're driving.

Aw! Do I have to?

It's your car, Becky, you've got to learn how to drive it.

Yeah, I know, but not in traffic.

Erm, where am I going to sit?

Sorry, Tamsen, but we're not going straight home.

-You'll have to get t'bus.

-I haven't got any money on me.

What did you do with that hundred quid I gave you?

Spent it, I owed Lisa 20.

There you are.

You couldn't make it 30, could you, and then I can get t'train?

You sure you can afford it?

You should have plenty there. It's only three quid to Bradford.

She's just using me.

I thought she were your friend?

Yeah, so did I.

We'll stay at t'Great Victoria tonight.

I can't afford to.

Did I ask you to pay?

I need to swing by and make sure Rose is all right.

Yeah, whatever.

I went on our Milly's computer

and read all this horrible stuff about me.

I told her not to look and she shouldn't have shown you.

I've got to know what people are saying about me, though.

Sometimes it's best not to know.

-It is Becky, isn't it?

-Look this way, will you, love?

Have you spoken to Rose Wilson?

Is she going to give the money back?

Did you know a member of the syndicate was a benefit cheat?

All right, just back off, will you?

Becky, what does the rest of the syndicate think about it?

Did you know that she was signing on? Over here, Becky!

Becky, give us a statement please.

I'll get it.

I'll never be able to show me face outside the house again.

Course you will.

Hiya. Did you know there's newspaper people out there?

-Hiya.

-Hey.

-Want a cuppa?

-Yeah.

-Yeah, they've been there all day.

-Are you all right?

-Not really, love.

I'm so sorry this has happened, you must be gutted.

I am, but it's my own fault.

I know it sounds crackers, but I just forgot I was on incapacity.

Well, we didn't think you'd do it on purpose.

The thing I don't understand is who told the newspapers

and how did they know where I lived?

You don't think that woman from Works and Pensions

rang t'papers, do you?

I can't see that happening.

Well, Rose said they were going to make an example of her.

She said solicitor might.

And when she came back on t'ward,

she were looking through all t'rotas with Helen, wasn't she, Tom?

-Yeah, don't mean she rang.

-You don't think it could be?

No, she wouldn't do that, would she?

Who you on about?

Helen?

Yeah.

Yeah, she would.

This man from Derby on that web thing

said I was a lying, cheating scrounger.

Well, he doesn't know you, does he?

I wish I hadn't shown you it now.

None of 'em know you, Mam.

Take no notice of them, they're just sick saddos

that've got nothing better to do than write horrible things.

People have no idea how the other half live.

You're not a scrounger, Rose. You're a hard-working woman with five kids.

You did the best you could by them, that's all.

She always has done.

Do you know, I want to ring them papers and tell them about me mam

and the dance academy and how she's sinking a load of her money

into that and other things.

Yeah, you could get a load of publicity for your dance academy.

I tell you what, there's this rugby do and press'll be there.

I've bought a table...

I'm never setting foot outside this house again.

But don't you see, Rose,

if you don't go, they've got what they want.

I don't care.

I'd be too shown up in case somebody recognises me.

I'll put some money towards it and our Bethany can go instead of me.

I've never stayed in a hotel in Bradford.

I've never stayed in a hotel.

I've only ever stayed in apartments.

Once in Spain and once in Ibiza.

Me and me brother stayed in an apartment in Ibiza,

but we ended up in the hospital.

I once stayed in a grotty old cottage in the Lake District.

Every other holiday - camping with me mam and dad.

Cos I didn't take care of him.

Some really rich people live in hotels.

I could live here dead easy. I wonder how much it costs?

It's a shame Rose wouldn't come,

there's a spa on t'third floor with a hydrotherapy pool.

That'd have helped her knees.

Wow!

You look beautiful.

You scrub up pretty good yourself.

You bought it all for me.

I chose well. You can buy me a present next.

Yeah, I'd have to save up first.

I can't buy you anything you can't afford yourself now.

Oh, cheers, so does that mean you're never going to buy me owt?

I didn't say that.

Anyway, there's plenty of things that don't cost money.

And we don't have to be at the party till half past

so you can have your present now.

No, Luke! I'll get all messed up. We've already done it once.

You're just going to have to wait till after.

After when?

After t'party's finished.

Right.

Shall we go, then?

I'm going to take my brother away.

Why's that?

Cos he hasn't had a proper holiday in about three years, that's why.

Oh, right.

Why can't he go by himself or with his mates?

Cos he hasn't got any mates.

That's a bit sad.

So how come you can afford to take your brother on holiday

and you can't afford a night in a hotel or buy me a present?

I can't afford it.

I see.

Is that why you're telling me, is it?

What?

You think I'm a soft touch, same as Tamsen,

you think I'm just going to give you some money to take him?

No, I don't!

Why are you telling me, then?

So that next week when you ring me to take you out

for a driving lesson, you'll know the reason why I can't do it.

Cos I'll be at Nottingham Outdoor Centre,

and it costs me nowt to go there, cos I'm a volunteer.

All right?

Luke Summers and Rebecca Atkinson.

It's no secret that the club's been going through tricky times...

..but let's face it, these are difficult times for all of us.

The gates haven't been what they were...

It's a shame your mam couldn't make it.

She's lookin' after our Reah. Me dad's home tomorrow

so I think she wants to get things sorted.

Right.

What's he banging on about?

He's t'Bradford Bulls Chairman.

They're looking for a new sponsor, I think they're a bit skint.

However, we're not here tonight to moan about the state of the club.

We're here to celebrate.

Because I'm delighted to tell you...

Maybe I got it wrong.

..that our wonderboy, Matt Greco...

..who has been the captain of our team

for the last three-and-a-half years now,

and whose drop goal won us last year's Challenge Cup...

..has been chosen to play for England against Australia.

Get up here, Matt.

Well, I think that's definitely enough.

I'm not going to be able to get my head through that door.

"Wonderboy". What can I say?

I'm not too sure. I'm hardly a boy any more,

but sometimes I wonder what the hell I'm doing.

Playing bloody good rugby, son, that's what.

Woooo!

Thanks, Becky...

It's all right, she's pissed.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

What can I say?

I'm just really chuffed to have been chosen.

Rugby's always been my passion

and I'm going to do the best I can to make you guys proud.

Cheers.

Where you going?

You'd better go after her, mate.

Hiya. I'd just like to say,

if you're looking for a new sponsor, I'd like to do it.

Really?

Yeah, really.

How much would it cost?

How much have you got?

Well, I won 14 million on the lottery.

Right, great. Well, I'll find someone...

If I was a sponsor, what would I get?

That depends how much you want to give.

Say a thousand pounds.

That might pay for the studs on the boots, love.

Or I could give you a season ticket for that,

or if you wanted to up it a bit

we could get your name on the club brochure.

It costs over a million to sponsor the Bulls,

or 50 to 75 grand to get your name on their shirt.

Well, I didn't know that, did I?

I tried to put you off.

I don't know why you wanted to do it anyway.

If you want to give your money away give it to...

You and Tamsen?

I was going to say charity.

If I'd wanted the money that much, I could've told you

I'd lost the ticket and claimed it for myself.

-Why didn't you?

-Cos it wasn't my ticket, it was yours.

That's right.

And cos I liked you.

Really?

Well, I've been thinking about that.

It's funny how you only texted me

after you'd found out I'd won t'lottery.

I don't want your money.

-Don't lie.

-I'm not lying.

Yeah, for maybe half a minute, I thought about keeping the ticket.

You knew you had it!

Cos I thought I could make a difference

to my brother's life, that's why.

So you lied to me when I came to the stadium looking for you?

I thought I could take him abroad on holiday.

Is that the only person you think about, your brother?

But as soon as I saw you, I couldn't do it.

I knew I had to give you it back and I didn't ask for anything,

and I didn't expect anything.

But I can't help thinking how would you've felt,

if I'd have signed back of that ticket and you'd have seen me

on national telly claiming me winnings.

What you doing?

And yeah, I do think about my brother a lot.

Cos if I'd have made him wear the crash helmet when he got on

the back of my scooter, he wouldn't have mashed his brain to bits

when he fell off the back of it

and been in a coma for three-and-a-half weeks.

There you go. Thanks, but no thanks.

I don't want your presents.

Luke!

Luke!

Luke, I didn't know about your brother!

-I hope you've had a nice stay.

-Thank you.

Becky!

Becky!

You all right?

Hiya.

Now then, young lady, did you have a good time last night?

Lovely, thanks.

Where's Luke?

Oh, he had to dash off.

His brother?

Yeah, that's right, it were his brother.

He's amazing with that lad.

Aye. Always puts him first.

So, can we give you a lift anywhere?

We're just heading back to the stadium,

cos the lads have got training.

Yeah.

I'll be honest with you, I played it down last night.

We are in real shit.

I don't want to put any pressure on you,

but unless we find some extra sponsorship,

this club could fold, and then all this will be gone.

Thank you so much, this will make a difference.

Would you mind doing some publicity for us?

We'll get the T&A involved and the nationals might pick it up.

You never know, a pretty girl like you donating this kind of money

might encourage other sponsors to come forward.

I don't mind, I'll do anything.

And of course, I'll let the lads know.

Diazilum, cannulas, syringes, all sorts of things,

even packets of TPN she said were missing.

Waiting for a call?

I just thought Luke might've texted me that's all. We've fallen out.

Sorry to hear that, I thought he was a nice lad.

Any wiser?

Not really. Must have been a couple of wrong deliveries from pharmacy.

Oh, yeah, wouldn't that be convenient.

Well, I've checked pharmacy records and everything tallies perfectly.

I don't know what you want me to say.

I want you to say things are going missing.

-And people are shouting their big mouths off.

-Don't, Becky.

-Excuse me?

-She's not standing there accusing us of nicking stuff

when she grassed Rose to t'papers.

If you're referring to the interview I did

about being the only member not to win...

You're not a syndicate member!

You left! How many times do we have to say it?

Yes, I did speak to a journalist, and I might have mentioned

that it turned out that one of the members were on benefits.

You cow.

Why should she get away with it? What makes Rose so bloody special?

That's our money she were claiming! My money!

I work damn hard as a nurse,

long hours and overtime I never get paid for.

I've paid tax and national insurance all my working life

and I've never claimed a day's sickness or benefit,

and fair enough,

it were my choice to give up a well-paid job and become a nurse.

But I paid into that syndicate for nearly five years

and I have to tell you I were really shocked

when you all decided I wasn't going to get a penny piece.

It was amazing to me how you all just expected me to accept it,

like it were nothing.

Well, guess what, it's wake-up time,

and there's no way on God's earth I'm going to stand by

and watch some lazy, cheating benefit fraud

walk away with my share of £72 million scot-free!

She's an evil bitch.

My God.

PHONE RINGS

-I'll get it.

-I'll start the drug round.

Ward 57. Hello?

'Hiya. It's me.'

Hiya.

Hiya. Your car's parked outside your house. I've brought your key back.

Oh, thanks.

No problem.

Hope you pass your test.

Look, I'm really sorry things didn't work out between us.

So am I.

MOBILE BLEEPS

MUSIC: "Diamonds" by Rihanna

# Find light in the beautiful sea

# I choose to be happy

# You and I, you and I

# We're like diamonds in the sky

# You're a shooting star I see

# A vision of ecstasy. #

So I had this old guy, right, and I had to pretend like to be a nurse.

What, are you going to undress me, now?

-..I haven't even told her yet, have I? Becky?

-What?

Bloody hell, who rattled your cage?

I don't know what he's doing up there.

What's wrong with...?

I'm just saying...

He's a babe magnet, our Matt, they bloody love him.

They're throwing themselves at him. It's disgusting!

He's good looking boy, though, and now he's playing against Oz.

What's wrong with you?

Come on, it'll be nice.

No, she's not having it at all.

I'm just saying...

Girls, honestly, what do you think?

-Hiya, I'm Becky.

-Hiya.

Just wondering where you'd got to with them drinks, Matt.

Sorry. Lindy was just asking if I wanted to do this fashion show,

she works in marketing for Top Class.

It's a charity bash, really, we've got a few celebs doing it, so...

Oh, right. I don't know if you know,

but I'm one of the nurses from St Anthony's that won the lottery.

The benefit cheat?

No, not the benefit cheat,

and just for the record, Rose is a really nice person.

I'm sure she is, living off the state.

Look, I don't really deal with the charity itself,

somebody else does that.

I just put together the show and get the celebs in.

But you can buy a ticket online or if Matt does the show,

I'm pretty sure we can find a ticket for his guest.

I think I'm a bit more than a guest.

I don't think I've got the bottle to do a catwalk, Lindy.

You're born to it. It's easy.

All you've got to do is walk and smile.

I'll give you a few tips and you'll pick it up in five minutes.

Think about it, it could open up all sorts of things for you

and it would be good for the club.

I'll ring you in a couple of days and we'll catch up, yeah?

OK, but I'm not promising anything, all right?

You're going to do it. I'm not going to let you off the hook.

She's crazy.

How does she know your number?

Cos I gave her it.

What for?

She asked.

Right.

Look, Becky.

What?

I think we need to talk.

Go on, then.

I know you're a club sponsor now and I'm really grateful for that.

Good, cos it cost me a hundred grand.

I know. I just hope you did it for the right reason.

What does that mean?

It means I really like you, but I'm my own person.

I'm not looking for anything else.

Rugby and my career comes first with me.

And I've had to pretend I was like two different women, right,

and it were dead complicated.

I had to do a Scottish accent for one of them. Is that mine?

Yeah.

Cheers, mate.

What about the other one?

I did posh, like a dead stuck-up bitch.

I kept getting 'em confused, but he wasn't even bothered though.

What are you laughing at?

You should hear this, mate. Tell Matt, go on.

You like doing them chat-lines so much, Tamsen,

then why do you want to pack it in?

Have you got the change?

Oh, sorry, it was only three quid, so I told the barman he could keep it.

Right.

So, where's Luke tonight?

At home, I expect.

Good man, Luke. Me and him started in the academy same week.

Really?

He were a brilliant player, better than me.

Ten times!

All right. Watch it, turd brain.

It's true, I swear, he was like wind out of a duck's arse.

Best scrum half by a mile.

He told me he were a Bradford Bull when I first met him.

Yeah, well, he used to be.

Well, how come he's working in the cafe now?

Don't know. Something happened.

He don't like talking about it.

I think Matt knows more about it than me.

All I know is his brother had a really bad accident

and he needed all this physio.

I think Luke used to work with him two, three times a day

and let his own training slip.

And he started saying he didn't want to be away from home any more, so...

Sorry about this, Matt,

but my friend is too embarrassed to ask for your autograph.

Would you be an angel?

Hiya!

Not a problem, what's her name?

Shelly.

That's so good of you, thanks.

Hiya, Shelly.

I'll ring you.

Yeah.

Night, everyone.

Sorry, I'm going to have to go. I've got work tomorrow.

How am I going to get home?

Are you OK?

I'm fine. Get a taxi.

You don't think she's going to go punch her, do you?

Whoa, whoa! Will you take me to Park Road?

Right, so there's just your tablets and your wash-kit to...

Don't start another game, we're trying to get ready.

Luke!

Give me a minute!

Go tell Granddad I'm asking for your socks.

He won't give me them.

MOBILE RINGS

'Please leave your message after the tone'.

Luke wants me socks!

Shush! It's nearly at the end!

He's not having 'em.

Who are you?

Becky. Your mam let me in.

Do you know if...

They're my socks, Granddad!

I said no!

Hiya.

Hi.

Why didn't you tell me Becky was here?

I shouted you, you said you were coming.

I just wondered if you wanted to go for a walk?

I would do, but I've got to pack me stuff.

We leave at half seven in t'morning

Another time, maybe.

Yeah.

Don't leave t'lass standing there.

I'd give you a lift home, but I haven't got a car.

He had to give t'BMW back,

cos t'lass he were teaching to drive passed her test.

Right.

She were a lucky lass.

Yeah, she were.

But maybe she didn't know it then.

Maybe she got a bit wrapped up in herself.

She had a nice car, though.

I don't think she cares about the car or all the things that go with it.

I just think she cares about your brother.

I don't know what happened,

I just turned into this weird, horrible person.

You weren't horrible, you were just...

I was, I know I was.

I didn't like me.

All I was bothered about was being rich and famous.

I think winning all that money'd change anybody.

I don't want to change, though.

I want to stay who I am.

I feel stupid giving all that money to Bradford Bulls.

Don't feel stupid about that, they need it.

Yeah, but we need all sorts of stuff at St Anthony's.

A new scanner, they're shutting t'children's heart unit down

in Leeds, and then there's people like your brother...

Becky.

You've hardly put a dint in 14 million.

I wouldn't even care, but I've never even watched rugby.

My dad'll be home, if you want to come in and meet him?

I better get back, I've got to get sorted for t'morning.

You can take the car.

It's all right, I can get t'bus.

You can have the car.

I don't want it, it's yours.

For giving me back t'ticket, for your honesty.

I don't need paying for that.

I know you don't, but it'd make me feel better.

Give it to your brother, drive him round in it. He likes it.

Tell him t'lass went off it,

she decided she wanted something else instead.

Please.

I really don't want it. Honestly.

Think about it while you're away.

I'll take it tonight, but...

Will you ring me?

Every day.

Thanks for giving me another chance.

Goodbye.

Mum?

Dad?

Mum?

Mum?

Mum?

When I took the tape off last time, you just started bawling

and shouting at me and saying all those horrible things again.

Me nerves just can't stand it, Steve.

If you could just talk to me properly,

like normal people do,

it'd be all right.

Anyway, this is your last night in here.

Your leg should be on the mend, and you've all your nutrients

so you shouldn't have suffered too much.

I know you're not going to like this, but I might not see you again,

so I'm going to give you something to sleep tonight,

and in the morning I'll ring Becky and she'll come and untie you.

Mum?

I thought you weren't coming home?

I can see that. What the hell's going on and what's happened to me dad?

He fell down the steps and broke his leg

and I had to set it

and then he started shouting at me again and I couldn't stand it...

Why didn't you ring me? And where's our Reah?

She's at a sleepover at Abigail's.

So you've called an ambulance, yeah?

KNOCK AT DOOR Is that them?

No, it won't be. You don't understand.

I'll watch him.

-Don't untie him.

-KNOCK AT DOOR

Hiya, it's me, Alan.

Where's the bottle, Alan?

Do you ever stop to think

what it must've been like for him to see his father like that?

You find me attractive?

Come here and I'll show you.

Bastard!

Come on, swing yourself round. I've got you!

Come on!
