(JACKIE SOBS)
Hey, sorry I'm late.
I was on the phone to my mum in the UK.
She's not feeling very well.
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that, Rosie.
I've gotta dash, I'm sorry.
I'm opening the shop this morning.
Of course, no worries.
Can you watch Dad?
Yeah, of course I could, no problem.
- Dad.
- Hmm?
Bye.
Bye, bye.
JACKIE: See you, thanks.
- No worries.
- See you.
- Catch you later.
- Bye.
All right, what are we
gonna do today, dominoes?
Let's do it.
Don't go beating me
again this time, though.
I know what you're like.
- Okay, okay.
- Yes. (CHUCKLES)
Don't go beating me this time, eh?
ROBERT: Well, well, you've got to try.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
- Get on.
- Oh.
EVA: You've still got
Sean, gorgeous husband.
Doolally father.
A doolally father.
How is he.
Yeah, ups and downs, smiles and frowns.
Oh, Mike, Mike, look.
I'm gonna be retiring soon,
so you're gonna have to
make up your mind, my love.
Now, who do you reckon?
We've got two really good girls here.
There's that Jackie,
and there's that lovely Eva.
Now, come on.
At the end of the day, it's my decision,
and we have got plenty of time.
All right, love, just
make sure you do it.
Don't worry.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
- Morning.
- Hiya, mate.
How you getting on with Pedro's baby now?
Yeah, not too bad.
Things can be a bit fussy
now and then, like my wife.
I'll tell her you said that.
Yeah.
Yeah, look, he's got a fleet
of these lovely old motors.
Wedding cars and all sorts.
Now, if I can tap into his business,
we can make a lot of money out of it.
When I told him I had a vintage
mechanic working for me,
he couldn't wait to get his
cars over here, to be honest.
Dangerous.
No, mate, no, I'll have
this done, don't worry.
Once I get this all lubed up,
she'll be purring like someone's,
well, let's not go there, shall we?
(MELANCHOLY MUSIC)
Robert, Robert, are you okay?
Hey, yes?
Would you like a little bit of sandwich?
- Huh?
- Yeah. (LAUGHS)
Tea and a sandwich.
You watch some TV while you're waiting?
Okay, okay.
Do you want some tomato
to go on your sandwich?
Hmm?
Ah, you normally like
tomato; I'll put some in.
Tomato and cheese, does
that sound all right?
Good afternoon, lunchtime
news with Sophie Beckinswaite.
We have breaking news just in from London.
There has been a coordinated
terrorist attack.
The government have raised
security levels to amber,
and all police leave has been cancelled
to ensure the public's utmost safety.
For live updates, please keep watching.
(DOOR BANGING)
Robert?
Oh no!
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(CELLPHONE RINGING)
Hello?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, all
right, Rosa, calm down.
He's what?
Oh shit.
Look, look, look, stay with
him, don't go anywhere.
Give me 10 minutes.
Just calm down, all right?
All right, see you in a minute.
Oh shit.
- What's happening now?
- Look, mate.
Mate, now I've gotta go.
What do you mean, you gotta go?
Robert, he's had his turn again.
You know what he's like.
Mate, Sean, I need this
done, mate, I need it fixed.
SEAN: Literally the manifold, mate.
That's all it is, that's all it is.
Well, what is a manifold?
(CAR HORNS HONKING)
(WOMAN SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
(PEOPLE SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
Robert, Robert!
Come on, no, leave it, leave it, no!
Robert, stop!
SEAN: Robert, come on!
Robert!
SEAN: Sorry, sorry, all right, come on.
Sorry.
Calm down, all right?
Now, Rosie, I gotta get to work.
Of course, yes.
I just, I feel so bad.
He was watching a terrorist
programme on TV, and...
Yeah, he used to be a policeman.
Thinks he's protecting us.
And when I turned around, he was gone.
That's not your fault.
Look, if you'd care to
take him back to the house,
I'll see if I can...
Oh shit!
ROSIE: Oh God, I'll phone Jackie.
(TRANQUIL MUSIC)
Okay, then, Rob?
What are you doing out here, then?
I'm going for a walk.
Well, yeah, you can carry on going,
walking up that way, but,
tell you what, it's a bit of a trek.
However, you carry on going down there,
there's a really nice bar.
You can have a nice cold beer.
(ROBERT LAUGHS)
I'll take that as a yes, then, come on.
All right.
(TRANQUIL MUSIC)
- Hey.
- Eva!
Where the hell have you been?
EVA: I was making a daisy chain.
Well, Dad's not very well, he's had a...
Oh!
Look, I'm gonna have to go.
I've been waiting for you for 20 minutes.
- Is he all right?
- I don't know.
I have to go, see you later.
Oh, okay.
(SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
Oh, God.
Daddad, Dad, are you okay?
What the hell is this?
No, no, no, no, no!
You bought him beer?
Come on, Jackie.
I thought we'd agreed, no alcohol.
It makes him confused.
Confused?
He was out in the hills
combing for terrorists,
stopping cars, even pushed Rosa.
So, I followed him up in the hills, right,
and we got hot and thirsty,
so we came down to the
bar to have a few drinks.
What, you want me to make him dehydrate?
Dehydrated?
- There's always water.
- We needed a drink!
No, you needed the drink,
he needed to be at home, safe.
Come on, Dad, put this down.
- Come on, come on.
- No.
Let's get you home.
(BROODING MUSIC)
Don't forget your wages.
Oh yeah.
Ah, so, how's he been today?
Yeah, he's been a bit better.
It's been a good day today.
Good, good, he had a few
off-and-on moments earlier.
- There you go.
- Ah, thank you.
It's because he trusts you, you see?
Yes, he does.
Unfortunately, I've got a bit of bad news.
My mum's not well.
She's got worse, unfortunately,
so I'm gonna have to go back
to the UK and look after her.
Oh my god, no!
What?
What's going on?
Rosie's got to back to the UK.
SEAN: Oh.
Her mum's not well, she
has to look after her.
Well, you can't.
What do mean she can't?
Who's gonna clean this
place, Mary bloody Poppins?
Who's gonna look after him?
I don't know yet, Sean,
I've just found out.
It's her mother we're
talking about here, Sean.
No, I know,
but we've gotta think about
we're doing around here.
Look, we'll sort
something out, but for now,
we just have to deal with the fact
that we don't have Rosie for long, okay?
Oh, great.
Okay, well, I don't know who's
gonna be scrubbing after him,
who's gonna be looking after me,
who's gonna be looking after you.
I don't need looking after.
I'm so sorry, Rosie, I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
He's a bit rude.
Well, if you need me,
I'll be scrubbing skidmarks
off the loo, all right?
We're really gonna miss you.
I know, I'll miss you, too.
SEAN: John.
What are you doing back here?
More to the point, what
were you doing in there?
Ha ha ha ha, very funny, having a dump.
What are you doing back here?
No, no, I'm just
doing a bit of overtime.
I thought I'd put a bit of work in.
You are taking the piss.
No, no, I can put the work in for ya.
Well, about bloody time, mate.
I'll go get the post sorted.
You get this cracked by the morning, mate,
I'll love you forever.
No worries.
Give my regards to your wife.
Hello, you.
(CELLPHONE RINGING)
Sean?
SEAN: Jackie.
Where are you?
I'm on this job, aren't I?
What the hell do mean you're...
No, you're supposed to be here!
I'm meant to be going out with
Eva tonight, you know this.
Yes, I know, but it's
important, I've got to do it.
Brilliant.
Yeah, that's great.
So, I have to cancel my
plans because of you.
Is that what's happening.
Yeah, I, ah, Jackie.
Ah, forget it, no, forget
it, I'll cancel my plans.
- Jackie!
- No, I'll cancel my plans.
Are you gonna let me,
you gonna let me talk?
Sean, just stay at work, please.
God's sake.
(BROODING MUSIC)
Well, if you can't come
out, I'm coming to you.
Happy hour! (GIGGLES)
Oh, what is it, what's wrong?
Come on, have a drink.
We'll worry about it tomorrow.
I don't know why you don't
just put him in a home.
I can't do that, you know.
Well, he's not gonna know.
JACKIE: It's Dad.
Oh, hey, Bob, do you fancy some bubbles?
No, no, no, no.
I can't open the bathroom door.
Sometimes the handle sticks.
Give me two ticks.
Yeah, okay.
He wouldn't know.
I'd know, I promised.
(BROODING MUSIC)
EVA AND JACKIE: Cheers!
That's it.
- Hits the spot.
- Yeah.
(BROODING MUSIC)
The state of you.
You've been up all night?
Yeah.
So, you finished it, then?
Yeah, you know, there's
a bit left, but I'm not...
The car, the car, have
you finished the car?
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's, um, yes.
Good lad, I'll give Pedro a
call, give him the good news.
Oh, fuck.
No, Sean, I need you to come home now.
No, I've got to open the shop.
Yes, but what am I meant to do?
He's relying on me.
- Eva can't open...
- what the fuck am I meant...
Look, will you just please come home?
I need you to look after Dad.
Yeah, well, I've got fucking
responsibilities as well.
Jackie.
Well, it's me, where are you?
Well, I have had to come
into shop and open up.
Do you realise that?
Yeah, I'm here now, yeah.
Well, you weren't, where are you?
Well, it is my day off,
and I was gonna go sailing.
Yeah, who else, with Fred, yeah.
Well, you just get in here straight away,
'cause I'll tell you
something, I am not happy.
Yeah, okay.
All right, I'll see you in 20 minutes.
Yeah, all right, that's good.
Well, hurry up, then.
God!
Are we all set and ready to go?
Oh, what have you got there?
(ROSIE LAUGHS)
That's a good one, wow.
Don't you be getting any ideas.
I don't think you'll be
catching anything that big.
We'll see, we'll see.
Oh, oh, is that a challenge, eh?
How are you feeling?
- Rough.
- Yeah, same.
I'll tell you what, I can
do with a bacon sandwich.
Oh, look, we've got eggs to go with it.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
I'm really gonna miss this place.
Bye-bye, sunshine.
Just feel like I'm abandoning them
just when they need me the most.
I think it's probably
worse for Jackie and Sean.
Old people are so interesting, you know?
They've got so much to
tell, so many stories.
To lose that, it's such
a shame, it's so sad.
EVA: We have to do something fun.
- Definitely.
- Yes.
Good idea, give Jackie and
Sean a break as well, won't it?
Oh, carnival!
That's soon, isn't it?
Yeah, next weekend.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
(BROODING MUSIC)
Before I go, I have something for you.
Birthday card.
But you can't open it
till your birthday, okay?
Deal?
- Thank you, thank you.
- Ah, you're welcome.
Hug.
You'll be okay.
I don't belong here, Rosa.
I don't belong here.
Don't say that.
ROBERT: I should be in the hills.
That's where I belong, in the hills.
They'll look after you.
Honestly, it'll be okay.
Oh.
- Sean, bye.
- Yeah.
- Bye.
- Bye, Sean.
(BROODING MUSIC)
Dad.
Look, here.
You must've just moved to
Tenerife in these ones, look.
Oh, look, this is Rusty.
You remember Rusty.
Yes, Rusty.
Oh, look at you here!
So stupid!
And this one.
- Oh, that's Liz.
- Yeah, that's right.
That's Mum.
Where is she?
Dad.
Where is she?
Mum died, two years ago.
Remember?
I know that.
I miss her.
I know, we both miss her.
Come on.
Here on your wedding day, look, see?
Oh, I know.
No.
Okay.
(TELEPHONE RINGING)
Yeah, yeah, all right, mate, okay.
Thanks, okay, you take
care, bye-bye, bye-bye.
Sean, you got a minute, mate?
Yeah.
Yeah, have a seat.
Yeah, all right?
- Yeah, I'm good.
- Good.
That was Pedro on the phone.
Oh, how is he, all right?
Yeah, he's all right, as it goes, yeah.
Oh, good.
But his car isn't, mate.
Eh, what did you forget to do?
You forgot to bleed the
cooling system, Sean,
is what you forgot to do.
How basic is that?
Even I know about that.
So, now his car's all seized up,
and he's taking his business elsewhere.
You made me look like a right pillock.
Sorry.
Yeah, well, you will be, Sean.
I'm letting you go.
I've gotta let you go,
mate, I've had enough.
I can't cope with your
moods and your drinking.
It's just too much, all right, so get out.
- Oh, come on.
- Leave, go.
You give me the right
hump, Sean, just get out.
I'll sort your money out,
and I'll send on to you.
You gotta go, go!
Leave your jacket on the side.
Well, I'm sorry, man.
Yeah, so am I, just go.
(MELANCHOLY MUSIC)
(ROBERT SINGING)
Oh my god, what's going on?
Dad, Dad, what's this?
I'm doing nothing!
What's this, then?
Why have to taken everything
out of the cupboards?
What's going on?
I want a coffee.
Well, there's the bloody coffee, look.
Right there in front of your face!
What's this?
I can't believe this, go
and sit in the lounge.
Oh, what is all this yelling about?
I'm on night shift, remember?
Well, can't you see what he's done?
Look at the mess!
Okay, so what, just leave it.
I'll tidy it in the morning.
Oh, right, right, so you sleep,
and you think I can just
sit here with all of this?
- Get in the living room!
- Okay, Jackie!
- Get in the living room!
- Jackie!
Robert, go and watch a bit
of footie on TV, all right?
Jackie's gonna make you a coffee.
I'm making him a bloody coffee!
What's that all about?
The mess.
Well, it's happened before.
This came today.
Oh shit.
We owe a fortune.
There's no way we can pay?
I'm not sure what we can do.
We'll have to sell this pad for debt.
No, don't bother making me a coffee.
I have to go to sleep.
Oh, you've got to be kidding.
All right, it's only, ain't it?
What, gin?
It's a nightcap, help me get to sleep.
Why can't you work the day shift, Sean?
Because I'm new to bar work.
Because I'm working all
hours that God sends me
to help you and your old man.
Besides, you're only doing
part-time work as it is.
We're gonna have to downsize or
move somewhere cheaper up in the hills.
But then the layout will be different,
and Dad'll be confused by it.
We're talking about selling
my parents' house here, Sean.
And what choice have we got?
(ROBERT SINGING)
♪ Doodah, doodah ♪
What do you mean, you've been evicted?
They chucked us out,
I can't pay the rent.
Well, you haven't got a
job, have ya, that's why.
Well, that's what I
wanted to ask you about.
Yeah, I wondered if
there was something else.
What is it, what's on your mind?
Well, the job.
Can I come back?
Look, I'd love to say
yes, all right, but I can't.
I've got another fellow
starting Monday, all right?
He's a local lad, and he's
supposed to be very, very good.
You let me down.
I can't go back there, mate, honestly.
Yeah, but mate, you don't know him.
Listen, there's no going back.
What I can do is I can
give my mate a call.
He's off to America for two years,
and he's desperate to get someone
to look after his house for nothing.
So, I'll call him, and
we'll get you in there.
At least you haven't got to pay rent,
but I cannot give you a job
back here, mate, I'm sorry.
Mate, I've got to,
listen, you'll have to go,
'cause I know you're gonna be
giving them puppy dog eyes.
I can't do it.
I'll see you at darts
on Tuesday, go on, mate.
Oh, well, I'll see you then.
Yeah, I'll see you
later, mate, take it easy.
(BROODING MUSIC)
You all right?
Are you not ready yet?
No, I was having a shower, haven't I?
Yeah, Sean, we've got so much to do.
Can you just hurry up, please?
Look, all right, look.
- Ah!
- Oh fuck!
I'll get a dustpan and brush.
Oh god!

Can you do it?

Okay.
I'll just be here, okay?
Dad.
Dad.
I'm really worried about him, Sean.
Why, what's wrong?
The layout's different,
there's a swimming pool.
SEAN: Jack, we're lucky to be here.
I know that, I'm not being ungracious.
I'm just saying, you know,
the furniture's different,
there's nothing that's familiar for him.
It's gonna confuse him.
Well, where'd you rather be?

Stop, what are you doing?
I've gotta go to work.

- Dad, you retired
from the police, stop.
I know that, but I'm late.
Dad, you retired from
Mountain Rescue as well.

Calm down, look.
- Look, Dad, stop.

Come on, Rob, come on.
Look, see?
D'you remember, on your last
day, we brought this down?
Oh yeah, I remember, Spud.
- Yeah?
- Spud, I've got to go.
No, Dad, stop.
Calm down, you need to
get back into bed, okay?
It's 6:00 A.M.
Rob, come on, come on.
I've got to go to bed myself.
Come on, we all need some sleep, yeah?
And it's another 20
minutes away from work.
It's a nightmare.
Yeah, but it's spacious,
you've got a pool.
Yeah, which Dad might fall into.
And he's got to maintain it.
It's probably how he
got it so cheap, though.

Bit of a change from the overalls.
(COCK CROWING)
Was that you?
Where's Robert?
Take me home.
He's away with the fairies, as usual.
You know what he's like.
Shall I go and help, maybe?
No, no, stay here.
Have a beer.
You're a bad influence.
(PEACOCK CALLING)
(SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
To, uh, beer.
Cheers.
- Jackie!
- Well, I see you've started.
Sit down, join us, have a drink.
No thanks.
No, no!
Oh, for God's sake!
Well?
Well what?
JACKIE: Well, are you coming?
I have to go home with Dad.
I don't think so.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.

ROBERT: My place is in the mountains.
That's where I belong.
Hey, Bob.
Hello, what are you doing up here?
We're matching.
- Color-coordinated.
- I know you.
Yeah, you know me, Bob.
It's Eva, Jackie's friend.
Now, Eve, yes, yes.
She's always bringing her
friends home from school
for ice cream and strawberries.
- Yeah?
- Oh, lovely, lovely.
Shall we go and have some
ice cream and strawberries?
- Oh, yes, yes.
- Yeah?
Have you got chocolate sauce?
- Yeah.
- Come on, let's go.
Let's go in, okay.
(LAID-BACK MUSIC)
Oh, Mike, Mike, Mike, now listen.
I told you last month.
You honestly haven't made
a decision yet, have you?
Now, you know I'm retiring
in a couple of months,
and I haven't heard from you.
So, I'm afraid to push
you, and everything,
but you really need to
get on with it, Mike.
Yes, will do, don't you worry about it.
That must've been the spring.
There's blossom on the trees.
Yes, yes.
Oh yeah, you've shown me
this one before, haven't you?
That was the day when
Margaret Thatcher was...
Margaret Thatcher, yeah,
became prime minister.
The first lady prime minister
- of this country.
- You were there, weren't you?
I was there, yeah.
Which one are you?
I'm quite easy to find, I'm in uniform.
In uniform with the hat.
I think it's this one, yeah?
That's me, yeah, that's me.
I was in the police station.
The superintendent came out,
said, "What are you doing, lad?"
I said, "Nothing, sir."
He said, "Well, get down to Flood Street.
"Mrs. Thatcher, this MP, she's
gonna be prime minister."
Winston Churchill, you remember him?
EVA: Yeah, well.
I was at his funeral.
Big, big procession.
It was a good occasion,
but I was totally bored,
because you just stand there,
and it was a cold,
freezing day in January.
Yeah, so I'm stamping me feet.
You all right?
I don't know.
I feel strange.
Am I gonna be okay?
EVA: Bob, you're gonna be fine.
Oh, what's happening?
(MELANCHOLY MUSIC)
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Well?
Good in a way, ain't that, I suppose?
Yeah, I suppose so.
Consider everything that's going on.
I can't but feel
disappointed, though, somehow.
SEAN: But why?
Because I'm running out of time, Sean,
and I wanna be a mum someday.
But we will.
We've got plenty of time.
There's never gonna be
a good time, is there?
And I don't have plenty of time.
Look, don't worry, it'll be all right.
It's not gonna be all right, is it?
Yes, of course it is.
You keep saying it's gonna be all right,
but Dad's the way he is.
You know, maybe this would've
forced something to change.
Something else to focus on, you know?
Come on, there's just gonna
be more hassle, ain't there?
No, it'd be something positive.
If anything, this is a negative thing.
JACKIE: So, you're
saying having a baby with me
would be a negative thing?
Well, at the moment, yes.
Oh, you can be really
hurtful when you want to be.
D'you know, you wouldn't
mind being on your own?
I think you need it.
I'm gonna go to work.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Hi!
Hey, love.
Hi.
Hello.
Just seen you come in.
Can I buy you a drink?
Oh, I'm okay, thanks, I'm
just here to see my friend.
Come on, have something with me.
- No.
- Something little.
Just a shot, or something.
Maybe later.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
See you later.
Can't a girl just get
a drink around here?
Hell if I knew.
I'd hassle you myself
if I weren't working.
You are a terrible flirt.
(LAUGHS) Guilty.
What time do you finish?
I have the afternoon shift, so,
we are gonna have a few drinks.
Yay!
Speaking of which, yeah,
you see, old Robert's
been doing my head in,
so I haven't been able to sleep, so,
I feel we both deserve
a nice little drink.
What is it?
I don't know, just drink it.
(SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
Oh!
SEAN: Right, let's have another one.
Another?
I won't say anything if you won't.
- Oh!
- Look at you.

You'll burn the bloody place down.
Jackie!
Jesus!
Sean?
How many of these have you had?
About three or four.
What's the matter?
I've got him in there
burning the house down.
- What?
- No, no, no.
It's fine, it's fine.
I've got him thinking he's Gordon Ramsay
cooking the bloody sausages out there,
and you thinking you're bloody
Marilyn Monroe in a rave.
Sorry.
Oh, you smell of booze;
how much have you had?
He was just standing
there, the big freak,
cooking sausages, not a care in the world.
All jokes aside, Jackie, I...
Oh, Sean, please don't make me, please.
I can't put him in a home, you know this.
I'm not going over it again with you.
Yeah, I realise that, but...
I think it's us that's failing him.
(TRANQUIL MUSIC)
EVA: Hey.
JACKIE: So, Sean and
I had a chat last night.
- Oh, really?
- Mm-hmm.
I think I am gonna go
for that managerial role.
Right, well, we need to
get you spruced up, then.
- Oh, no.
- Yes.
We need a pamper night.
- Oh, no.
- Yes, come on.
If you're gonna go for that,
you gotta look your best.
You know, your face back,
feet up, I'd do your nails.
It's so much fun, come on.
- Really?
- Get you spruced up,
looking like your old self again.
Oh, I wish you could
come round every week.
- Speaking of which.
- Oh, yeah, so,
he came back about an hour later.
Yeah, he starts asking all
these questions about you.
Were you in a relationship with someone,
and did I think you might be interested
in going on a date with him,
and, like, would I give him your number.
Oh, you're kidding.
No, seriously.
But obviously, I didn't give that to him,
but I did take his business card.
I feel terrible.
- What?
- I'm not sure
I shut the front door
of the shop properly,
like, that I locked it.
I'm not completely 100% sure.
- I'm gonna have to dash.
- Eva!
Yeah, I'm really sorry.
- No!
- Yeah.
- Sean.
- Hi, Eva.
Oh, hi, you're off work early.
Yeah.
Good night?
(CHUCKLES) Yeah.
We did a bit of a pampering session.
Oh, oh, okay.
Are they for me?
Yeah.
Oh, really?
SEAN: I bought them for you.
What did I do to deserve these?
Blimey, I'm being really
pampered at the moment.
I know, you deserve it.
JACKIE: Well, what have I done?
You haven't done anything,
I haven't anything.
No one's done nothing.
Honestly, you haven't made
a decision yet, have you?
I have made a decision,
but I think I should tell her first.
(CELLPHONE RINGING)
Hey, boss.
It's nice to know I'm appreciated.
Wow, I don't know, manager's position?
Yeah.
Can I get back to you?
- Dad.
- I want to see.
Where is Spud, for
goodness' sake, where is he?
Dad, Spud's not coming today.
I want to see him.
I know.
I like him, but I just want to see him.
- I know, I know.
- Where is he?
He said he'd come next week.
I don't know what to do.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Have you noticed how
much Sean's been drinking
every time we see him?
Well, actually, now that you've said it.
- Yeah.
- Oh dear.
We had a few too many.
ROSIE: Together?
INSTRUCTOR: head.
And we had a bit of a moment.
(GASPS) She doesn't know, does she?
No!
You're not gonna say anything, right?
No, I'm not.
Okay, girls, to the poles.
Let's do it.
Oh, come on.
Oh, come on!
- What?
- Yeah, fluke.
So, I've got a bit of a quandary.
Oh dear, why, what's up?
Boss at work has offered
me the manager's job.
Oh, congratulations.
Yeah, not really.
Oh, how come?
Jackie really wanted it.
I won't wanna be in
your shoes right now.
I don't know what to do.
I want my dinner.
But you just had your dinner.
- No, I haven't.
- You did.
You had it 10 minutes ago.
- No, I didn't.
- You did.
Jacket potato.
I didn't, I know I didn't have it.
Jacket potato, beans, cheese.
Where's Spud anyway, where's Spud?
Dad, Spud's not coming today.
Oh.
Now, go and get my dinner.
Go on, now.
You've already had your dinner.
You had it 10 minutes ago.
I haven't.
I know I haven't.
JACKIE: Spud let Dad down again today.
- Did he?
- How long do you think
that's been now?
SEAN: About six months.
JACKIE: It's just not on, is it?
SEAN: I don't know.
I haven't seen some of my
mates since six months.
If the tables were turned, Sean,
Dad wouldn't do it to him.
It's absolutely disgusting, I'm livid.
- Hey.
- Hi.
As you know, Marjorie's leaving soon,
and I have been watching you carefully,
and you do make a big
effort with the customers,
especially over the last few months,
so I'd like to offer you the job.
Really?
I really appreciate it,
but I think you should give it to Jackie.
I would've preferred to have you,
but if it's not to be, it's not to be.

Oh my god, Rosie!
What are you doing here?
I had to come back to
get the rest of my stuff,
so I thought I'd time it
in for Robert's birthday,
so I could be here.
- How kind of you.
- Oh, it's okay.
How's he doing?
Not so good.
But he'll be delighted
- to see you.
- I'll go say hello.
Dad.
Hey, Robert.
Hmm?
How's it going, happy birthday.
Mwah, how you feeling?
Okay?
Oh.

Shit party, ain't it?
Bit like our lives, isn't it?
I'm so sorry, Rosie.
I know I should've told you, but,
I just didn't want to
accept how bad he'd got.
ROSIE: I just, I don't
understand what happened.
Well, the doctor says that he's having
hundreds of tiny strokes all the time.
When things start to
go wrong in the brain,
you just can't tell how
it's gonna affect them.
I was just so shocked, 'cause he just,
he didn't recognise me.
I'm sorry.
Hey, it's okay.
It's just, there's hundreds
of tiny strokes, and each,
each one is taking a little
bit of of my dad away.
I'm sorry.
Here's to Dad, eh?
Cheers, to Robert.
Or what's left of him.
Hey, Spud.
Hey, look, Bob, Spud.
Happy birthday, Robert, I
made this for your birthday.
That's kind, isn't it?
Go on, well, take it.
Get yourself a drink, Spud.
You used to work up in the mountains.
Yeah, of course it is, look.
Look at the shape.
He got you this as well,
it's the shape of Tenerife.
You used to work up in the mountains.
I'm gonna miss you, yeah.
Look after yourself.
Okay.

myself for thinking about...
I wish he were dead.

I wish he were dead, but,
if he were to die, then...
I just wish he could do it with
some more dignity than this.
Yeah, yeah, I know what you mean, yeah.
I couldn't stand the looks
he was getting today, Sean.
I couldn't bear it.
Come on, we're used to it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know, but I just
felt so ashamed of him.
I don't wanna feel ashamed of him.
Jackie, we gotta
remember him as we used to.
You know, Big Rob, the

You know?
Yeah.
I know.
But he's just...
It's just,
I don't know, I want people
to remember him like that.
And they're just gonna
remember him like he is now.
He looks like Dad, and
he sounds just like Dad,
but how much of him is there, Sean?
I can't bear it.
What would he do?
Say, if I was Robert, right?
The smart and healthy Robert.
We're getting to five years now.
What would he do?

(ROBERT LAUGHS)
I'll take that as a yes, then, come on.
All right.
(TRANQUIL MUSIC)
- Hey.
- Eva!
Where the hell have you been?
EVA: I was making a daisy chain.
Well, Dad's not very well, he's had a...
Oh!
Look, I'm gonna have to go.
I've been waiting for you for 20 minutes.
- Is he all right?
- I don't know.
I have to go, see you later.
Oh, okay.
(SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
Oh, God.
Daddad, Dad, are you okay?
What the hell is this?
No, no, no, no, no!
You bought him beer?
Come on, Jackie.
I thought we'd agreed, no alcohol.
It makes him confused.
Confused?
He was out in the hills
combing for terrorists,
stopping cars, even pushed Rosa.
So, I followed him up in the hills, right,
and we got hot and thirsty,
so we came down to the
bar to have a few drinks.
What, you want me to make him dehydrate?
Dehydrated?
- There's always water.
- We needed a drink!
No, you needed the drink,
he needed to be at home, safe.
Come on, Dad, put this down.
- Come on, come on.
- No.
Let's get you home.
(BROODING MUSIC)
Don't forget your wages.
Oh yeah.
Ah, so, how's he been today?
Yeah, he's been a bit better.
It's been a good day today.
Good, good, he had a few
off-and-on moments earlier.
- There you go.
- Ah, thank you.
It's because he trusts you, you see?
Yes, he does.
Unfortunately, I've got a bit of bad news.
My mum's not well.
She's got worse, unfortunately,
so I'm gonna have to go back
to the UK and look after her.
Oh my god, no!
What?
What's going on?
Rosie's got to back to the UK.
SEAN: Oh.
Her mum's not well, she
has to look after her.
Well, you can't.
What do mean she can't?
Who's gonna clean this
place, Mary bloody Poppins?
Who's gonna look after him?
I don't know yet, Sean,
I've just found out.
It's her mother we're
talking about here, Sean.
No, I know,
but we've gotta think about
we're doing around here.
Look, we'll sort
something out, but for now,
we just have to deal with the fact
that we don't have Rosie for long, okay?
Oh, great.
Okay, well, I don't know who's
gonna be scrubbing after him,
who's gonna be looking after me,
who's gonna be looking after you.
I don't need looking after.
I'm so sorry, Rosie, I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
He's a bit rude.
Well, if you need me,
I'll be scrubbing skidmarks
off the loo, all right?
We're really gonna miss you.
I know, I'll miss you, too.
SEAN: John.
What are you doing back here?
More to the point, what
were you doing in there?
Ha ha ha ha, very funny, having a dump.
What are you doing back here?
No, no, I'm just
doing a bit of overtime.
I thought I'd put a bit of work in.
You are taking the piss.
No, no, I can put the work in for ya.
Well, about bloody time, mate.
I'll go get the post sorted.
You get this cracked by the morning, mate,
I'll love you forever.
No worries.
Give my regards to your wife.
Hello, you.
(CELLPHONE RINGING)
Sean?
SEAN: Jackie.
Where are you?
I'm on this job, aren't I?
What the hell do mean you're...
No, you're supposed to be here!
I'm meant to be going out with
Eva tonight, you know this.
Yes, I know, but it's
important, I've got to do it.
Brilliant.
Yeah, that's great.
So, I have to cancel my
plans because of you.
Is that what's happening.
Yeah, I, ah, Jackie.
Ah, forget it, no, forget
it, I'll cancel my plans.
- Jackie!
- No, I'll cancel my plans.
Are you gonna let me,
you gonna let me talk?
Sean, just stay at work, please.
God's sake.
(BROODING MUSIC)
Well, if you can't come
out, I'm coming to you.
Happy hour! (GIGGLES)
Oh, what is it, what's wrong?
Come on, have a drink.
We'll worry about it tomorrow.
I don't know why you don't
just put him in a home.
I can't do that, you know.
Well, he's not gonna know.
JACKIE: It's Dad.
Oh, hey, Bob, do you fancy some bubbles?
No, no, no, no.
I can't open the bathroom door.
Sometimes the handle sticks.
Give me two ticks.
Yeah, okay.
He wouldn't know.
I'd know, I promised.
(BROODING MUSIC)
EVA AND JACKIE: Cheers!
That's it.
- Hits the spot.
- Yeah.
(BROODING MUSIC)
The state of you.
You've been up all night?
Yeah.
So, you finished it, then?
Yeah, you know, there's
a bit left, but I'm not...
The car, the car, have
you finished the car?
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's, um, yes.
Good lad, I'll give Pedro a
call, give him the good news.
Oh, fuck.
No, Sean, I need you to come home now.
No, I've got to open the shop.
Yes, but what am I meant to do?
He's relying on me.
- Eva can't open...
- what the fuck am I meant...
Look, will you just please come home?
I need you to look after Dad.
Yeah, well, I've got fucking
responsibilities as well.
Jackie.
Well, it's me, where are you?
Well, I have had to come
into shop and open up.
Do you realise that?
Yeah, I'm here now, yeah.
Well, you weren't, where are you?
Well, it is my day off,
and I was gonna go sailing.
Yeah, who else, with Fred, yeah.
Well, you just get in here straight away,
'cause I'll tell you
something, I am not happy.
Yeah, okay.
All right, I'll see you in 20 minutes.
Yeah, all right, that's good.
Well, hurry up, then.
God!
Are we all set and ready to go?
Oh, what have you got there?
(ROSIE LAUGHS)
That's a good one, wow.
Don't you be getting any ideas.
I don't think you'll be
catching anything that big.
We'll see, we'll see.
Oh, oh, is that a challenge, eh?
How are you feeling?
- Rough.
- Yeah, same.
I'll tell you what, I can
do with a bacon sandwich.
Oh, look, we've got eggs to go with it.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
I'm really gonna miss this place.
Bye-bye, sunshine.
Just feel like I'm abandoning them
just when they need me the most.
I think it's probably
worse for Jackie and Sean.
Old people are so interesting, you know?
They've got so much to
tell, so many stories.
To lose that, it's such
a shame, it's so sad.
EVA: We have to do something fun.
- Definitely.
- Yes.
Good idea, give Jackie and
Sean a break as well, won't it?
Oh, carnival!
That's soon, isn't it?
Yeah, next weekend.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
(BROODING MUSIC)
Before I go, I have something for you.
Birthday card.
But you can't open it
till your birthday, okay?
Deal?
- Thank you, thank you.
- Ah, you're welcome.
Hug.
You'll be okay.
I don't belong here, Rosa.
I don't belong here.
Don't say that.
ROBERT: I should be in the hills.
That's where I belong, in the hills.
They'll look after you.
Honestly, it'll be okay.
Oh.
- Sean, bye.
- Yeah.
- Bye.
- Bye, Sean.

Dad.
Look, here.
You must've just moved to
Tenerife in these ones, look.
Oh, look, this is Rusty.
You remember Rusty.
Yes, Rusty.
Oh, look at you here!
So stupid!
And this one.
- Oh, that's Liz.
- Yeah, that's right.
That's Mum.
Where is she?
Dad.
Where is she?
Mum died, two years ago.
Remember?
I know that.
I miss her.
I know, we both miss her.
Come on.
Here on your wedding day, look, see?
Oh, I know.
No.
Okay.

Thanks, okay, you take
care, bye-bye, bye-bye.
Sean, you got a minute, mate?
Yeah.
Yeah, have a seat.
Yeah, all right?
- Yeah, I'm good.
- Good.
That was Pedro on the phone.
Oh, how is he, all right?
Yeah, he's all right, as it goes, yeah.
Oh, good.
But his car isn't, mate.
Eh, what did you forget to do?
You forgot to bleed the
cooling system, Sean,
is what you forgot to do.
How basic is that?
Even I know about that.
So, now his car's all seized up,
and he's taking his business elsewhere.
You made me look like a right pillock.
Sorry.
Yeah, well, you will be, Sean.
I'm letting you go.
I've gotta let you go,
mate, I've had enough.
I can't cope with your
moods and your drinking.
It's just too much, all right, so get out.
- Oh, come on.
- Leave, go.
You give me the right
hump, Sean, just get out.
I'll sort your money out,
and I'll send on to you.
You gotta go, go!
Leave your jacket on the side.
Well, I'm sorry, man.
Yeah, so am I, just go.

Oh my god, what's going on?
Dad, Dad, what's this?
I'm doing nothing!
What's this, then?
Why have to taken everything
out of the cupboards?
What's going on?
I want a coffee.
Well, there's the bloody coffee, look.
Right there in front of your face!
What's this?
I can't believe this, go
and sit in the lounge.
Oh, what is all this yelling about?
I'm on night shift, remember?
Well, can't you see what he's done?
Look at the mess!
Okay, so what, just leave it.
I'll tidy it in the morning.
Oh, right, right, so you sleep,
and you think I can just
sit here with all of this?
- Get in the living room!
- Okay, Jackie!
- Get in the living room!
- Jackie!
Robert, go and watch a bit
of footie on TV, all right?
Jackie's gonna make you a coffee.
I'm making him a bloody coffee!
What's that all about?
The mess.
Well, it's happened before.
This came today.
Oh shit.
We owe a fortune.
There's no way we can pay?
I'm not sure what we can do.
We'll have to sell this pad for debt.
No, don't bother making me a coffee.
I have to go to sleep.
Oh, you've got to be kidding.
All right, it's only, ain't it?
What, gin?
It's a nightcap, help me get to sleep.
Why can't you work the day shift, Sean?
Because I'm new to bar work.
Because I'm working all
hours that God sends me
to help you and your old man.
Besides, you're only doing
part-time work as it is.
We're gonna have to downsize or
move somewhere cheaper up in the hills.
But then the layout will be different,
and Dad'll be confused by it.
We're talking about selling
my parents' house here, Sean.
And what choice have we got?

Yeah, I wondered if
there was something else.

Well, the job.
Can I come back?
Look, I'd love to say
yes, all right, but I can't.
I've got another fellow

He's a local lad, and he's
supposed to be very, very good.
You let me down.
I can't go back there, mate, honestly.
Yeah, but mate, you don't know him.
Listen, there's no going back.
What I can do is I can
give my mate a call.
He's off to America for two years,
and he's desperate to get someone
to look after his house for nothing.
So, I'll call him, and
we'll get you in there.
At least you haven't got to pay rent,

I was there, yeah.
Which one are you?
I'm quite easy to find, I'm in uniform.
In uniform with the hat.
I think it's this one, yeah?
That's me, yeah, that's me.
I was in the police station.

said, "What are you doing, lad?"
I said, "Nothing, sir."
He said, "Well, get down to Flood Street.
"Mrs. Thatcher, this MP, she's
gonna be prime minister."
Winston Churchill, you remember him?

I was at his funeral.
Big, big procession.
It was a good occasion,

freezing day in January.
Yeah, so I'm stamping me feet.

- Get you spruced up,
looking like your old self again.
Oh, I wish you could
come round every week.
- Speaking of which.
- Oh, yeah, so,
he came back about an hour later.
Yeah, he starts asking all
these questions about you.
Were you in a relationship with someone,
and did I think you might be interested
in going on a date with him,
and, like, would I give him your number.
Oh, you're kidding.
No, seriously.
But obviously, I didn't give that to him,
but I did take his business card.
I feel terrible.
- What?
- I'm not sure
I shut the front door
of the shop properly,
like, that I locked it.
I'm not completely 100% sure.

Oh, really?
SEAN: I bought them for you.
What did I do to deserve these?
Blimey, I'm being really
pampered at the moment.
I know, you deserve it.
JACKIE: Well, what have I done?
You haven't done anything,
I haven't anything.
No one's done nothing.
Honestly, you haven't made
a decision yet, have you?
I have made a decision,
but I think I should tell her first.
(CELLPHONE RINGING)
Hey, boss.
It's nice to know I'm appreciated.
Wow, I don't know, manager's position?
Yeah.
Can I get back to you?
- Dad.
- I want to see.
Where is Spud, for
goodness' sake, where is he?
Dad, Spud's not coming today.
I want to see him.
I know.
I like him, but I just want to see him.
- I know, I know.
- Where is he?
He said he'd come next week.
I don't know what to do.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Have you noticed how
much Sean's been drinking
every time we see him?
Well, actually, now that you've said it.
- Yeah.
- Oh dear.
We had a few too many.
ROSIE: Together?
INSTRUCTOR: head.
And we had a bit of a moment.
(GASPS) She doesn't know, does she?
No!
You're not gonna say anything, right?
No, I'm not.
Okay, girls, to the poles.
Let's do it.
Oh, come on.
Oh, come on!
- What?
- Yeah, fluke.
So, I've got a bit of a quandary.
Oh dear, why, what's up?
Boss at work has offered
me the manager's job.
Oh, congratulations.
Yeah, not really.
Oh, how come?
Jackie really wanted it.
I won't wanna be in
your shoes right now.
I don't know what to do.
I want my dinner.
But you just had your dinner.
- No, I haven't.
- You did.
You had it 10 minutes ago.
- No, I didn't.
- You did.
Jacket potato.
I didn't, I know I didn't have it.
Jacket potato, beans, cheese.
Where's Spud anyway, where's Spud?
Dad, Spud's not coming today.
Oh.
Now, go and get my dinner.
Go on, now.
You've already had your dinner.
You had it 10 minutes ago.
I haven't.
I know I haven't.
JACKIE: Spud let Dad down again today.
- Did he?
- How long do you think
that's been now?
SEAN: About six months.
JACKIE: It's just not on, is it?
SEAN: I don't know.
I haven't seen some of my
mates since six months.
If the tables were turned, Sean,
Dad wouldn't do it to him.
It's absolutely disgusting, I'm livid.
- Hey.
- Hi.
As you know, Marjorie's leaving soon,
and I have been watching you carefully,
and you do make a big
effort with the customers,
especially over the last few months,
so I'd like to offer you the job.
Really?
I really appreciate it,
but I think you should give it to Jackie.
I would've preferred to have you,
but if it's not to be, it's not to be.

JACKIE: So, thanks
for the offer of help.
EVA: Oh, it's okay.
Well, it's a big job, this garden.
I'm probably not gonna have
that much time in the future.
EVA: How come?
Mike offered me that manager's role.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
Oh, that's amazing, well done!
Thank you, I was so surprised.
Well, yeah, it's mine.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
I'm surprised you didn't
go for it, actually.
No, not really for me.
Really?
I think you'd have been quite good at it.
I think it suits you better.
Oh!
(BOTH GIGGLING)
Oh, hey, it's Dad's birthday
on Sunday, his meal.
You haven't forgotten, eh?
EVA: No, I'm gonna be there.
JACKIE: Good.
'Cause you'll be the light relief
if the rubbish would happen.
(BROODING MUSIC)
SEAN: Right, here we
go, bit of red wine for ya.
There we go, lovely.
Get your laughing gear around that, eh?
- Yeah.
- Lovely, all right.
All right, another one for you there.
Dad?
(DOORBELL RINGING)
- Hello!
- Hi, hi!
Oh, thank you for coming.
- He's over here.
- Oh, there he is.
- Birthday boy.
- Dad?
EVA: Happy birthday, Bob.
- Dad?
- Bob?
- Hmm?
- Hello.
Dad, it's Eva.
She's come to wish you happy birthday.
Happy birthday, mwah.
- I think...
- Yeah, that's it.
You can do it.
Okay, so.
Down there.
Yeah!

EVA: You've still got it.
You feeling a bit tired?
Oh, let's sit you down.
Sean's outside, if you
wanna go and grab a drink,
or give him a hand.
Hey, Sean.
Oh, Eva.
(CLEARS THROAT) Do you want a drink?
Yeah, just some wine.
All right.
You know what happens
when we drink together.
Maybe a bit more.
Yeah.
Just, we've had too much.
Help yourself to a samosa.
Not too many, mind.
It gives you havoc on your bowels.
(EVA LAUGHS)
Hello, surprise!
Oh my god, Rosie!
What are you doing here?
I had to come back to
get the rest of my stuff,
so I thought I'd time it
in for Robert's birthday,
so I could be here.
- How kind of you.
- Oh, it's okay.
How's he doing?
Not so good.
But he'll be delighted
- to see you.
- I'll go say hello.
Dad.
Hey, Robert.
Hmm?
How's it going, happy birthday.
Mwah, how you feeling?
Okay?
Oh.
(BROODING MUSIC)
Shit party, ain't it?
Bit like our lives, isn't it?
I'm so sorry, Rosie.
I know I should've told you, but,
I just didn't want to
accept how bad he'd got.
ROSIE: I just, I don't
understand what happened.
Well, the doctor says that he's having
hundreds of tiny strokes all the time.
When things start to
go wrong in the brain,
you just can't tell how
it's gonna affect them.
I was just so shocked, 'cause he just,
he didn't recognise me.
I'm sorry.
Hey, it's okay.
It's just, there's hundreds
of tiny strokes, and each,
each one is taking a little
bit of of my dad away.
I'm sorry.
Here's to Dad, eh?
Cheers, to Robert.
Or what's left of him.
Hey, Spud.
Hey, look, Bob, Spud.
Happy birthday, Robert, I
made this for your birthday.
That's kind, isn't it?
Go on, well, take it.
Get yourself a drink, Spud.
You used to work up in the mountains.
Yeah, of course it is, look.
Look at the shape.
He got you this as well,
it's the shape of Tenerife.
You used to work up in the mountains.
I'm gonna miss you, yeah.
Look after yourself.
Okay.
(MELANCHOLY MUSIC)
You know,
sometimes I really hate
myself for thinking about...
I wish he were dead.
I mean, I don't actually mean
I wish he were dead, but,
if he were to die, then...
I just wish he could do it with
some more dignity than this.
Yeah, yeah, I know what you mean, yeah.
I couldn't stand the looks
he was getting today, Sean.
I couldn't bear it.
Come on, we're used to it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know, but I just
felt so ashamed of him.
I don't wanna feel ashamed of him.
Jackie, we gotta
remember him as we used to.
You know, Big Rob, the
Robmeister, Glampost. (LAUGHS)
You know?
Yeah.
I know.
But he's just...
It's just,
I don't know, I want people
to remember him like that.
And they're just gonna
remember him like he is now.
He looks like Dad, and
he sounds just like Dad,
but how much of him is there, Sean?
I can't bear it.
What would he do?
Say, if I was Robert, right?
The smart and healthy Robert.
We're getting to five years now.
What would he do?
(MELANCHOLY MUSIC)
He was too proud.
He was too proud to go like this.
He'd hate it.
He'd go up to the mountains, wouldn't he?
Yeah.
Seatbelt, Dad, seatbelt.
For God's sake.

In a minute, Dad.
No, now.
