All right? How are you?
- Oh, hiya.
- You've not finished, have you?
Col, easy! Jesus!
It's not meant to be sodding apple sauce
until I've sold it, you tit.
- All right, mate. Be cool.
- Be cool?
Yes?
- Er, are you the foreman?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I'm looking for someone.
His name's Steve Witton.
Erm, I think he might be working here.
Not here, kid.
We've got a Wilkinson, I think. Is it?
- Yeah, Kenny.
- No, no, that's not him.
Well, you could try up at Kirrin Farm
or The Boweries, they've got quite a few.
- No, no, I've been to all of them.
- Something wrong?
No, sorry.
- Can't help you.
- OK, thanks.
He'll be lucky, eh, boss?
Is there any chance of a job?
Got a National Insurance number?
No.
It's in the post, right?
Yeah.
It's just piece work, OK?
- Try not to bruise them or he won't pay you.
- OK.
This guy you're looking for,
is he a pal of yours?
Er, yeah.
Half the bastards here aren't
even using their real names.
Just don't ask too many questions. Still,
stick around long enough, he might turn up.
People come and go.
- All right, Col.
- Ladies.
Nice.
- You're terrible.
- I like 'em shy.
Six crates, OK?
OK.
You're working too fast, lad. It's not a war.
You haven't done this before, have you?
- I don't know.
- You don't know?
Hey!
- New boy, where you staying?
- Er, nowhere, I…
Get in the back.
Yaaaay!
Fuck off!
Wooah!
You randy bastard, get off!
Slut!
- You getting changed?
- Changed?
- For the fair.
- I don't have anything.
You've gotta spruce up, man.
Come on. Shift it.
Oh, yes!
Ooh! Come on!
Here we are.
Do you want this?
- You gonna find that girl?
- Nah. I'm gonna get mortalled!
All right, darling.
Jesus!
No, ta. I've got too many already.
Where'd you learn to do that?
Just love fairs.
All my mates fancy you.
- They don't know me.
- They don't need to.
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
We've gotta stop.
We've got to stop the ride.
We've gotta stop the ride!
We've gotta stop!
Stop the ride!
Stop the ride!
- What are you doing?
- Oi!
Fuck off!
You all right?
Yeah. Yeah, I…
Sorry.
I thought I saw someone I knew and…
- Sorry.
- It's no sweat.
I was going home anyway.
It's a bit of a walk.
What's your name?
David.
What's yours?
Katy.
What's wrong with you, David?
It's OK. You don't have to tell me.
That's my address.
Come on.
We shouldn't be really down here.
Don't step on the flowers.
Red campion.
Meadow saffron.
Sheep's sorrel.
Trefoil.
Erm…
Red clover.
I can't remember this one.
Rampion.
Yeah.
Rampion. You knew it.
Why was you crying today, in the field?
- I wasn't.
- Yes, you were.
- I think I'm drunk.
- It's Friday night. You're supposed to get drunk.
David, hold on.
It's not right, is it?
I'm sorry.
It's OK.
Is there someone else?
Oh, it's fucked.
Everything's fucked up.
She's got sadder eyes.
Why aren't you with her, David?
Yes?
- I need to see someone. Her name's Jenny.
- And you are?
David. I'm a friend.
Where you been, pet?
They've been looking for you.
I've been working.
Pretty important work, I expect.
Follow me.
Jen?
- How are you, lad?
- OK, I'm OK.
Good.
David's here.
- Is she?
- We don't speak about her.
We speak to her.
Don't we, Jennifer?
- Jen?
- We're working very hard.
It doesn't matter what anyone else says.
Lovely flowers from your nan, pet.
We've been wondering about you.
Where have you been all this time?
- I had to…
- Cos it hasn't been easy.
Lying here, waiting for you to come back.
Thinking about why you didn't come back.
- Is she going to die?
- No.
We don't say that.
I'm sorry.
Why didn't you look after her?
Why didn't you make her come out
of that stupid tunnel?
You should have made her come out.
Oh, no, David, don't!
Please stay!
I didn't mean it.
Here.
Will she get better?
They can't say.
There's damage.
I could explain it to you.
She needs support, David.
- Why don't you have something to eat and…
- I can't.
And then just go back in see her?
I can't do that. She…
She's just…
She looks so terrible.
Yes, you can.
You can.
David.
Look at me.
We have to face up to things.
I was just a bit surprised.
I didn't expect to see you again.
But here you are.
They found this in her clothes.
I think it's yours.
We're not giving up, pet.
Neither should you,
whatever it is you have to do.
I can't stay, Jen.
Something's happened. I…
I've got to go.
I know it…
If you can hear me…
I'm close to him. He's… he's there.
I know you'll understand.
I will come back, I promise.
Are we going to have a good time?
We are going to have such a good time.
Go on. Knock on the door.
Yeah?
- Er, I…
- Well, what is it, love?
Do you…
Do you know these people?
- Davey?
- Who is it, Mum?
Hello.
Is that you?
Yeah.
He always came for the fruit season.
This one summer he brought you with him.
We had such a laugh.
Steven said he wanted to get
some pictures of his kids.
You want to know what happened to him?
Yeah.
He stopped coming.
And that's it?
And that's it.
Something must have happened to him.
Pull the curtains.
Did you tell her?
- You know, that we…
- Don't be daft!
Jesus!
Does she ever talk about him?
She says that what I remember's
the best of him and that's enough.
What do you remember?
The fair.
Yeah.
You're just like him.
A bit tricky.
- You know where he is, don't you?
- Oh, leave it, Davey.
What do you expect me to do?
He doesn't want you, Davey.
I know that. You think I don't know that?
You'll wake her up.
I was hoping you'd stay for a while.
No, no, I can't.
No.
Will you go before Katy wakes up?
OK.
Well, we'll still be here
if you want to come back.
- Are we going to be there yet?
- It's not far now!
I'm tired.
Well, never mind. It's worth it.
Come on! Come on,
we're almost there. Come on!
- Do you like candy floss?
- Yeah.
Come on then.
Keep hold of my hand, OK, Davey?
If we get split up, I'll meet you
by the ferris wheel, OK?
Don't lose sight of me. Davey!
If we can't deliver say now
and we'll call them off,
and let the application
lapse for another year.
We can deliver. I'll show them meself.
Don't screw it up. We need a result,
otherwise they'll pull the plug.
Yeah, no problem. Leave it with me.
Thomas, there's someone here!
Thomas! There's someone
in the fucking house! Get out!
Get out!
Thomas!
What did I fucking do?
Open the door.
- Don't you want to see it?
- No.
Then…
- …you know who I am?
- Don't be ridiculous, Davey.
What do you want?
- To see you.
- Well, now you've seen me.
So do yourself a favour, piss off.
I… I can't.
Help me.
Make him up a bed in the guest room.
He can stay till morning. Do as I ask!
Dad?
What are you doing?
I don't know.
He isn't the person you thought he was.
No.
There's something wrong here.
I've got to stay.
I know.
I miss you.
Is he up?
Mr Witton isn't available this morning.
I don't…
I don't think he's expecting to see you.
- Did you disinfect your feet?
- What?
Your feet?
I thought you were going.
- Why do you grow this inside?
- It's precious.
What's wrong?
Here.
- Time you were going.
- I don't need that.
- Everybody needs money.
- Not me.
What is this?
It's a miracle.
Whatever you spray on it,
it keeps coming.
- How?
- It's programmed.
- To do what?
- Not die.
Davey, once you realise how to change things,
there's no stopping you.
If this works…
everything works.
The future's in rape.
Let me stay.
Please, I could help.
You come in here again, you need a mask.
- What about you?
- It doesn't matter for me.
Well, can I stay then?
Yes.
Dinner's at seven.
I'm not hungry.
Where are you going?
Busy day tomorrow.
Don't you want to ask me anything?
No.
You promised you'd come back.
I know.
We were happy.
I remember.
I did you a favour.
You're all right, aren't you?
They put me in care.
I was in so many places
I forgot you existed.
My life was a farce.
Running about, trying to take care of folk.
Secrets. It was a mess.
So you ran away.
I found something I was good at.
And why are you here?
What?
You're just like me, Davey.
You're a runaway too.
I'm tired.
I can't remember anything about
you here. It's like you're gone.
Perhaps it's for the best.
What happened to your mother?
What do you think?
You've got to check the fucking metering!
- I've checked it.
- No, no, no! Look at it.
It's nowhere near where it's…
Pull it out. Pull it out! Pull it out!!
Get it out!!
Get it out! Get it out!
Get rid of it! Get it out!
Where are you going?
Away.
That's pathetic, man.
It's doing my head in.
He doesn't want me. He doesn't care.
Can't you see that?
You're running.
To see you.
Not yet. Not yet, Davey.
Will you come back, for fuck's sake?!
Will you explain to them?
I just need more time! I can make it work.
Just give me more time.
Dad.
I get left alone… in the mornings.
It'll work. It's too important.
I can make it work.
That's what I do. I make things work.
What have you got?
Tell me!
Myeloma.
Multiple myeloma.
Well, they… they can fix that, right?
You know, it's cancer.
Davey, it's a miracle…
…what they can do.
Soon they'll be able to go in there with
a gene strand and just switch it off.
Poof!
Nature at your control.
But you have to understand the structure.
And you have to have time.
Go away.
He's sleeping.
When's the doctor coming?
This happens. I can take care of it.
The doctor doesn't have to come.
He's had everything.
I'm sorry.
It's so sad that you only just found him.
Davey.
- Yeah, yeah, I'm here.
- This is nothing.
I can beat it.
A couple of days,
I'll be OK.
Modify the dosages.
The second batch is fine.
It's more tolerant.
No.
They're panicking.
Just need more time.
What you're doing - it doesn't work.
It's wrong.
Is that why you've come?
Maybe.
Have you got a girl?
What?
Have you got a girl?
Yeah.
You should go and see her.
Not yet.
Are you done?
Yeah.
Go and speak to him then.
I'll wait.
You're beautiful.
I'm cold.
Davey.
Tell me places you've been.
I met my sister.
My half sister.
Her mother was beautiful.
She still is.
Esther told me where to find you.
She must have thought it was for the best.
I remember one time,
we all went to the fair.
- Had a fucking great time.
- I remember.
Do you?
Open the blinds.
There's a button.
That's nice.
Yeah.
I always thought one day…
…I'd come back…
…to see you.
Walk together on the island again.
But…
…things happen.
I should…
I should have…
After a while, I couldn't see it…
…any more, what it was like.
So I just kept going.
Do you remember what we did there?
Remind me.
We fished.
Caught rabbits and cooked 'em.
Went swimming.
You always wanted to know the flowers.
I had to look a few of them up.
Willowherb.
Speedwell.
Feverfew.
Heartsease.
Gypsywort.
Eyebright.
Marigold.
Meadow saffron.
Meadow saffron. That's a good one.
We used to go swimming by that old
gun emplacement, do you remember?
It was always freezing cold,
but you said it was better like that…
…because when you dived down, you could
hear… you could feel your heart beating.
Fucking right.
Let's go swimming.
What?
You heard me.
No.
- Just like the old days.
- No.
Let's go.
OK?
OK.
Dad.
The season's changing, Davey.
Time to go.
Are you sure?
I've got to go now, Davey.
- Are you coming back?
- No.
No, I'm not coming back.
Look after things, OK?
OK.
Jen.
It's me.
I came back.

All right? How are you?
- Oh, hiya.
- You've not finished, have you?
Col, easy! Jesus!
It's not meant to be sodding apple sauce
until I've sold it, you tit.
- All right, mate. Be cool.
- Be cool?
Yes?
- Er, are you the foreman?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I'm looking for someone.
His name's Steve Witton.
Erm, I think he might be working here.
Not here, kid.
We've got a Wilkinson, I think. Is it?
- Yeah, Kenny.
- No, no, that's not him.
Well, you could try up at Kirrin Farm
or The Boweries, they've got quite a few.
- No, no, I've been to all of them.
- Something wrong?
No, sorry.
- Can't help you.
- OK, thanks.
He'll be lucky, eh, boss?
Is there any chance of a job?
Got a National Insurance number?
No.
It's in the post, right?
Yeah.
It's just piece work, OK?
- Try not to bruise them or he won't pay you.
- OK.
This guy you're looking for,
is he a pal of yours?
Er, yeah.
Half the bastards here aren't
even using their real names.
Just don't ask too many questions. Still,
stick around long enough, he might turn up.
People come and go.

Six crates, OK?
OK.
You're working too fast, lad. It's not a war.

Hey!

Multiple myeloma.
Well, they… they can fix that, right?
You know, it's cancer.
Davey, it's a miracle…
…what they can do.
Soon they'll be able to go in there with
a gene strand and just switch it off.
Poof!
Nature at your control.

What you're doing - it doesn't work.
It's wrong.
Is that why you've come?
Maybe.
Have you got a girl?
What?
Have you got a girl?
Yeah.
You should go and see her.
Not yet.
Are you done?
Yeah.
Go and speak to him then.
I'll wait.
You're beautiful.
I'm cold.
Davey.
Tell me places you've been.
I met my sister.
My half sister.
Her mother was beautiful.
She still is.
Esther told me where to find you.
She must have thought it was for the best.
I remember one time,
we all went to the fair.
- Had a fucking great time.
- I remember.
Do you?
Open the blinds.
There's a button.
That's nice.
Yeah.
I always thought one day…
…I'd come back…
…to see you.
Walk together on the island again.
But…
…things happen.
I should…
I should have…
After a while, I couldn't see it…
…any more, what it was like.
So I just kept going.
Do you remember what we did there?
Remind me.
We fished.
Caught rabbits and cooked 'em.
Went swimming.
You always wanted to know the flowers.
I had to look a few of them up.
Willowherb.
Speedwell.
Feverfew.
Heartsease.
Gypsywort.
Eyebright.
Marigold.
Meadow saffron.
Meadow saffron. That's a good one.
We used to go swimming by that old
gun emplacement, do you remember?
It was always freezing cold,
but you said it was better like that…
…because when you dived down, you could
hear… you could feel your heart beating.
Fucking right.
Let's go swimming.
What?
You heard me.
No.
- Just like the old days.
- No.
Let's go.
OK?
OK.
Dad.
The season's changing, Davey.
Time to go.
Are you sure?
I've got to go now, Davey.
- Are you coming back?
- No.
No, I'm not coming back.
Look after things, OK?
OK.
Jen.
It's me.
I came back.
