...central park.

It's down there, i think.

Let me see, uh, what it says.

What's it say?

What's this say?

Um, peggy street, um.

Miss...miss

wil-Wilkinson.

Oh. Mr. Cleg,

i presume.

I'm mrs. Wilkinson.

Come in.

We've been expecting you.

Wait here, mr. Cleg,

while i fetch me keys.

Good evening to you, sir.

You're familiar with the scorpion,

i take it?

No. No.

Not from africa, then?

I had you down

as an old africa hand.

No.

Africa.

Now, there's

a dark continent for you.

I knew a man once

who had been told,

Never to go barefoot

because of the...

Scorpion.

Gettin' acquainted

with the residents, mr. Cleg?

Good. This is terrence.

But i'm afraid we are

not to be trusted.

Are we, terrence?

Now...

Let's get you upstairs

And out of those

wet things.

Got out of bed

in the middle of the night,

Put his shoes on...

Put his shoes on,

Stung by a scorpion,

Sleeping in one

of the toe caps.

Died in agony.

17 hours.

Oh.

Take these, mr. Cleg.

Come on.

Your room, mr. Cleg.

What, not undressed yet?

Here.

Very well then, mr. Cleg.

I'll leave you

to your own devices.

Kitchener street.

Spleen street.

Omdurman close.

The allotments

By the railway...

by the railway...

And down the canal.

And down the canal.

Kitchener street.

My mum.

Wakey, wakey, mr. Cleg.

Not in bed, please.

I trust you slept well, sir.

Uh, the bedding

in this house

Has a curious, uh...

character.

But one does grow...

Used to it after

just a few years.

I...i...i will not...

I will not be here

that long.

Nor did i expect

to be, but...

It is a loud world,

And this is an island.

But an island, sir,

Ruled by a tyrant queen,

Who has the power to send

any one of us

Back to where we came from.

The asylum, i mean.

Terrence, waxing already?

Perhaps you'd share your

thoughts with me sometime.

Mr. Cleg.

How many shirts

are you wearing?

1, 2, 3, 4!

Now, really, is this

absolutely necessary?

Oh, indeed

it is, madam.

Clothes maketh the man.

And...

The less there is

of the man,

The more the need

for clothes.

My mum...

Mummy!

Brilliant.

It's the...

Wing of...

wing of a seagull.

It...

Could have gone

nowhere else.

Are you making progress?

What you doing?

Making something.

Making something.

Aren't you clever.

You're so good

with your hands.

It's for you.

It's for you.

It's for you.

Oh.

Now,

You run down the dog.

There's a good boy,

And tell your father

his dinner's on the table.

It's not on the table.

It's not on the table.

Well, it will be by the time

you get him out of that pub.

Don't go out the front.

I just done them steps.

Who's this then?

Handsome little fella,

ain't ya?

I've come for me dad.

Not here, is he?

You showed him!

I can't believe

she done that.

Oh, look at his

little face.

Bless him.

Leave him alone.

Evening, bill.

Evening, ernie.

The usual?

Yeah. Cheers, mate.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Now, don't you

say a word.

Well,

It was different

when i was a girl.

We lived out

in the country then.

Essex.

I remember how i'd go across

the fields in the morning...

And i'd see the webs

in the trees.

Like clouds of muslin,

they were.

What, spiders' webs?

Spiders' webs.

Of course spiders' webs.

Who else makes webs?

And then,

when i got close,

I'd see that there

wasn't muslin at all.

They were wheels.

Great big shining wheels.

And you know what else?

What?

If you knew where to look,

You could find

the spider's egg bags.

Perfect little things,

they were.

Tiny little silk pockets

she made...

To put her eggs in.

What happened to her

after she laid her eggs?

You like this bit,

don't you?

She just crawled away

without looking back once.

And then she died?

Her work was done.

She had no more silk left.

She was all dried up

and empty.

Dried up and...

You ready then?

As ready as i'll ever be.

And you,

you guard the house,

All right?

Oh. Oh, wait.

What about later?

Oh, that's nice, billy.

Come on, let's go

have a drink now.

Evening, bill.

What'll you have then?

Gin and orange for me, billy.

Evening, bill.

Evening, ernie.

Uh, pint of bitter, please, and a gin and...

gin and orange for the missus.

Gin and orange.

I'd seen more meat

on a butcher's apron.

Nice felt, that.

He started having a sherman

right in front of me.

I says to him,

"If that's the best you can do,

you wanna take that up west.

See what smart people

have to say about it."

Gettin' an eyeful, are ya?

It's that fat tart,

yvonne wilkinson.

Cheers, eddie.

Cheers.

Fat tart...

Yvonne wilkinson.

Gin and orange.

Don't drink so fast, bill.

Fancy another one?

No, i'm not ready

for another one yet.

Turns to me and says,

"nora, no rush."

So the man comes to nora.

She's into him right away.

Next thing she's got half

of london dock all over her.

She's standing there laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" I said.

"I'm drying meself off, like.

I'm with you," she says.

"Look at him.

More like tom thumb."

"Tom thumb?" I says.

"What about...

what about tiny tim?"

How we laughed.

Now his dad,

that's another story.

He was a right little towel rag.

I won't let him near me.

He told me he's there,

i says... i says,

"I got the decorators in,

you know what i mean?"

Yvonne wilkinson.

She made the first move.

Oh, for god's sake,

stop crying!

It was your own fault.

Inside, now!

You big baby.

Yes?

Plumber.

What?

I'm the plumber.

I believe you've got trouble with your pipes.

Yve!

Plumber!

Don't tread on the cats.

It's in there.

Is that the plumber?

Hello, yvonne.

Hear that?

We get that all day.

All bloody day.

Don't we, nora?

All bloody day.

You want air in those pipes.

We got air.

Bad air.

Bad air.

Can't you smell it?

Yeah, but it's coming from your lavatory,

isn't it?

I sincerely hope so.

Shocking,

the state of the plumbing in this place.

You gonna do me pipes

or what?

I had a letter

from that

Sophia loren this morning.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

What she want then?

The usual thing.

What? The old...

Exactly right.

They're all the same.

All the same.

Still, you know, what...

what can you expect, really?

Mind you, them frenchies

I should say. Knew a frenchie

once with 3 tits.

Get away.

I swear to god.

One here, one here,

and one here.

Well, you

She was a lovely girl.

Come from manchester.

You said a frenchie.

Well, that was

a different one, you know.

My mother had 3 tits.

A lovely woman,

your mother.

She did like a sailor.

She loved a sailor,

my mom.

Down to me, that was.

How's that then?

Every time

My mum...

Has it off

Well, y-You smoke

Oh.

Hello there, connor.

Good to see you.

Hello, plumber.

of my favorites.

I had a cat

Nippy out, eh?

Glad i got me fur.

Do you like my fur?

I got it at the market,

Still, what isn't

I'm a bit secondhand

But you don't mind that,

do you, bill?

You like that, don't you?

A bit of secondhand?

Lovely job you did

on them pipes.

Barely a squeak

And i'll do you.

Oh.

Oh, do you like that?

What's this?

Oh, plumber.

Oh.

Hurry up, bill.

I'm bloody freezing.

I'm stopping here

for a bit.

Suit yourself.

I'm going back up

to the dog.

I went down to salisbury

for a drink.

Can't a man go for a drink

after his work?

I won't live like this.

I wasn't meant to live like this.

Yeah, well,

it's not my fault.

Oh, yes, it is.

No, it bloody

isn't.

It's all right, spider.

Your father and me,

We're just...

You woke me up.

It's all right now.

We're all coming up

Every single piece!

Hello?

Yeah, hello?

Gas works got you,

I'm not surprised.

Nasty stuff, gas.

I knew a man once,

Put his head

in a gas oven...

And turned on

the gas.

And then he

changed his mind.

But,

His head was stuck.

I smell...

Yeah, i smell... gas.

Say something, mr. Cleg.

Cat got your tongue?

Someone...

Now,

I'm missing

a spare set of keys.

I left them on

this table last night,

And when i came down this morning,

they were gone.

Well?

Mr. Cleg?

What do you know

about my spare keys?

A spare set of keys.

No.

Several keys on a ring.

Keys.

Mr. Cleg.

Not in your room,

mr. Cleg!

This filthy thing!

It will come down.

I ask you again, mr. Cleg,

Where are my keys?

Who...who are you?

Don't play dumb

with me, my friend.

All right. You leave me

no alternative.

Arms out, legs apart.

What a magpie you are.

Where have you

hidden them, eh?

Nothing to say

to me, mr. Cleg?

No. No.

Not really.

Ow.

You all right?

My hands hurt.

You hurt my hands.

Oh, i'm so sorry.

It's just an excuse to give

you a bit of a cuddle.

Let me see.

I'll take care of them.

Oh, come on!

It don't work!

Fucking plumbing's off.

You're a plumber.

Fucking toilets

You stay here.

Oh!

Oh, no. No. No.

For god's sake,

For god's sake!

For god's sake.

You did this.

You did this.

You did your mum in.

You...you killed
