Don't worry about me, Mum.
Don't. Um...
I'm leaving this just so you can
hear me saying it.
Um...
I'm fine.
(CHATTERS)
It's like I tripped a year and a
half ago
and I've been falling ever since.
I found you...
..and that means I can find her.
'Scared to close my eyes longer than
a blink.'
I wake...
..like I've dreamt this.

DISTORTS AND ECHOES)
So, so, so, so, so chuffed.
Cheers, mate.Thanks.
You proved me wrong and I just
wanted to say so.
I never thought you'd find her like
you did.
Glad to be wrong. Very much am.
And I'm really sorry for doubting.
Oh, you don't have to say that.
No, I really am.There's no sorry
needed, darling.
Ooh!(CHUCKLES)
All right? You want four again?Yes,
please.
(CHATTING AND LAUGHTER)So, the whole
village clan will be out.
Where is this?North of bloody outer
Scotland where my dad's from.
All the Jimmies will be sat around.
The whiskies are poured.
The fires are burning.
And with hairy-bollock voices
they would sing the Legend of Nelly
Rowe!(CHEERING) Yeah, all right.
They would. Cos that's what they'd
have made of you already.
I'm gonna come and get her now.She
said tomorrow.
I ain't sure about leaving Grace.
She's fine with Heather.
Well, they're about the same age.
Ha, ha, ha(!)(LAUGHS)
(INDISTINCT SPEECH)
It's ginormous.
Hm!Listen, it's not lost on me.
What's that?
Well, you never gave up, did you?
Eh? No matter what anyone said, what
they done, you never did.
You know, and look what you get.
You know, you stay true
and look.
I need a favour, Mel, right?
I got this off the bitch who had
Jody. Can you pull everything off of
it you can?Oh, come on.
And where's Bernie?That'll sort
itself out.Will it?Yeah, yeah.
No, I'm on about you.Do you want me
to speak to her?No, no.
I want you to tell me that you
realise how ginormous...
It's the best thing you've ever
done, ever will do.
You know, what you've done here,
for your Jody,
no-one'd do that. You did it.
You. It's you, Nell. What you've
done.
MAN: Oi-oi!2ND MAN: Go on, Nelly!
# Nah-nah nah nah...
STACE: Please. Um...
# Nah-nah nah nah...
Shut up for a sec.(CHEERING)
# Hey-ey-ey - #Oi!
Attention, please.
MAN: Hold your row.
So, I bought this for my mate, him,
for his birthday.
Oi-oi!Exactly.
Yeah, and his majesty said he didn't
want it.
He said some bollocks about the old
and stinky one that he's got on,
um, being lucky.
Zita, smell it.
Do I lie?Eugh! Smells to high
heaven, yeah.
Yes.I told you.
So he said he's gonna stick with the
old stinky one
till he found his kiddie. And guess
what?
He only went and done it.
He only bloody did!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE DISTORTS)
I don't know what the fuck is going
on with me here.
(MUFFLED AND ECHOEY VOICES)
(MUFFLED VOICE) Nelson Philip Rowe,
it is time for you to keep your
promise.(SOBS)
(MUFFLED AND DISTORTED VOICES)
(MUFFLED VOICE) What's wrong?
Why are you crying?
I can't stop, Stace.
Christ, I feel like I'm falling.
Sh...sh...should we get him
upstairs?What the fuck is going on
here?
He really don't want that new
yellow, Stace.
It's like a come-down, guys. It's
been hard getting Jody back.
Four different kinds, apparently, I
read. Shock.
All of us have got a touch of that.
We feel for you.
I wouldn't mind, girls, but it's put
me right off my beer.
(ALL CHUCKLE)BERNIE: Fuck me. No
wonder you're blubbing.
It's you, Bern.
Mega day. Like to say congrats.
Cheers.
Actually...What?
Give me a sec.
Stay there.Yeah.

Not even a day old.
Barely even a half.
It was the morning of the day you
arrived.
Picked you up out of your cot.
I was proper, look.
You were all wrapped up, swaddled
they call it.
Tiny.
Beautiful.
And hairy.
(LAUGHS) Oh, my God.
You were.
All over your face. Hairy.
Scared me at first.
NELLY: 'I weren't even looking back
for her.'
And if... Two seconds.
If I'd glanced back a tick-tock
later...
..I'd have missed her, Zita.
Right there in front of me and I
would have missed her.
Don't matter...Hm.
..two seconds one way or not...
..you found her.By fucking luck.
Yes, by luck. So what?
It's yours. Believe it.
I can't.
I think that's what this is, you
know. I just...
I can't.
CLAIRE: 'Had your smile though.'
Already you.
Phew. You just slayed me.
Couldn't take my eyes off.
I showed myself up doing my nut down
there, didn't I?
Did a bit.
Bollocks. Really?The toll of it.
Cos it's come out. Yeah.
You showed that.
And that's all it was.
Christ, Nelly. You're still shaking.
Can you hold onto me until it stops?
Can you, please?
CLAIRE:
'We were like that for ages.'
Just staring at each other.
Until I had to pee.
I didn't know how to put you down.
Which way up, which way round.
Not a clue.
I was petrified of breaking you,
getting it wrong.
Frantic.
Tears, flooding,
pee running down my leg.
I had to press the buzzer for the
nurse in the end.
I'm not even sure she came but...
..by the time she did, I had worked
it out.
I don't know how, but I did.
So he found her?It's the only noise
the estate's been making all night.
Can you call him for me? They're on
this phone looking for me. So can
you for me to talk to him?
It was a messy night. The best thing
is that we sleep.
You sleep and, come tomorrow, he's
here.
You were the luck he needed to find
her.Stop, for real.
To find Jody. You were. It was, it
was you.
No. Look, come here.
It's all right.
She's home.
You're good, yeah?
Chips, feels like.
Are you back home now, Bern?
Chips, Melon. I want that to be the
next thing that happens.
Tons of vinegar, no salt.
Just that.
I don't know after.
(SHUTTER CLICKS)
(SHUTTER CLICKS)
(SHUTTER CLICKS)
I'm scared like that again, Jodes.
And I don't know what to do for you
or with you.
But we'll work it out, baby.
We will.
However long it takes.
I just want you to know...
..that you're safe now.
God's honest, Jodes, you are.
Safe enough to come all the way back
to me.
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION CONTINUES)
Come on, darling. You need to do
this.
We wanted to welcome you home,
introduce ourselves.
We wanted to reassure you and your
parents we will do everything in our
power
to find and punish the people,
or person, who kept you away from
your mum and dad as long as they
did.
Is that something you think you could
help us with, Jody?
Could you remember anything about
where you were being kept?
Any names, places?
Anything that stuck in your mind.
You could write it down, Shola said,
if you don't wanna say.Yeah, you
can. Absolutely.
Would you prefer to do that?
You haven't done anything wrong,
Jody.
Whatever they might have told you,
however they might have threatened
you.
you're not in any trouble.
Can I ask you about the library,
Jody?
Can I ask who picked you up there...
..when you expected your biological
father?
Who was in the car?
Jodes.
It's OK, Claire, it's um...Early
days.
It's...a long road.
Just follow us will be easiest.
(TYRES SCREECH SOFTLY)
(LOCK CLICKS)
MOBILE RINGTONE: "You what? You what?
You what, you..."
NELLY ON VOICEMAIL: This is me. You
know what to do.
Here you are. Let me know if it's
too hot.
Is this porridge?Yeah.
Bit of fresh fruit - banana cut in
and that.
Recommended best.
Best for who?
Someone as far along as you are.
Good carbs and that.
Good start to your day.
I'm not sure, Melon.
Well, you don't have to.Sorry.
Sorry for what?
Well, cos I...sort of really hate
porridge.
(INDISTINCT SPEECH)
..going to move on to the physical
examination...
(GENTLE MUSIC)
(BEEPS)
Well done, Jodes.
I'm going to swab around inside your
lips.
That's it.
Everything's OK, baby.
You're so brave.
Brave girl.
This is one day's worth of pain
medication.
If Jody has been exposed to HIV,
this will help to prevent infection.
(CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)
..this one twice a day.
(CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)
This is an antibiotic. It is for
gonorrhoea and chlamydia.
So the instructions are on here.
It's to be taken twice a day.
Put your legs up.
(INDISTINCT SPEECH)
Just lean yourself back at bit.
So, let's pop one leg up here.
Put your leg up.That's it.
Good girl. There we go.
We can move it if it's uncomfortable.
Like we said, we can stop at any
point, Jody.OK.
I'm going to be as quick as I can
and I'll try and cause as little
discomfort as I can.
Yeah?
Is it OK if I continue, Jody?
I'm right here, OK?
If you need me, I'm right here.
Yeah. Yeah, you can continue.
OK.
OK, deep breaths, baby. Deep
breaths.
It's OK, baby.
Nearly done.
My brave girl.
Well done, baby.
39,193,259.9778, roughly.
Feels longer.You can have it in
milliseconds as well, nearly.
(CHUCKLES)
What do you mean by "old"?
What she looks like to me?
39-odd million seconds will do that
to you, won't it?
Not older.
There's something old in her now.
Can you not see it?
You be honest with her, will you?
Dylan?
Cos she's gonna need you to be.
OK.Yeah, you say...
how much you missed her.
What are you bloody shrugging for?
You missed your mate, didn't you?
Did you?Yes.
Well, then that's what you tell her.
You chat to her like you always used
to.
Yeah? (RINGTONE) "You what? You what?
You what, you what, you what?"
Oh.
Hey. I need you to call me as soon
as you get this.
Cos Grace is asking when you're
coming for her cos she's waiting.
So, as soon as you get this, please.
Straight to voicemail like he let it
ring out or like his phone's off?
It's early. The state of him last
night, I'd say it's probably off.
I wanna hear how it goes to
voicemail.He'll be here.
Can you ring him again, please? Can
you ring him again, please?
Or I will on mine. It's fine.All
right, wait. I'm calling.
Claire. Hey.
Watcha.
Can we come and see her maybe? I...
MOBILE RINGTONE: "You what? You what?
You what, you what, you what?"
"You what? You what? You what, you
what, you what?"
"You what? You what?"Answer your
phone, Nelly.Yeah.
(MOBILE OFF)
Literally 30 minutes, that's it.
That's all we get.
30 minutes for a lunch hour now.
I can't do any of my clubs and stuff
unless I packed-lunch it.
You'd hate it. Be kicking off louder
than anyone.
No-one sits next to me in English.
Or sociology. Or computer studies.
I won't let anyone and everyone
knows they can't.
Saved for you, ever since...
Nelly said to say how much I missed
you.
I wait for you every morning still.
See if you're coming to walk to
school.
(AS YODA) "Do or do not.
There is no try."
RINGTONE: "You what? You what? You
what, you what, you what?"
"You what? You what? You what, you
what, you what?"
(SIGHS) Shouldn't you answer it?
Call 'em back.
RINGTONE: "You what? You what?"
Nelly.Yeah.
I'll um...
I'll tell 'em to piss off and then
I'll turn it off, yeah?
What the fuck, Tam?
What the fuck what? We've been
calling you all morning. Where are
you?
Why wouldn't you answer and call
back?
We're not gonna go after Paul any
more, no?No, we...we are.
100% we're going after Paul. We...
Scrape me off now you've got
your daughter back.That's not even
close.
I just... It's just that I had to
come and see Jody and check in
and then I'm on my way over.OK, so,
when are you coming cos I'm nearly
fucking done.
So when?
Nelly.
Nelly!Jody?
(HANGS UP)
Where is she?Where is she?
What's going on?Jesus Christ!She
just went in.Jesus Christ.
Get her out!How did that happen?I
was just talking like you said to.
Barry.
Jody? (FRANTIC MUFFLED VOICES)
Get her out!
How did she end up in...
I c... I can't swim.
Jody. Nelly.
Jesus.Get her out, get her out!
(MUFFLED VOICES)
I've got her. Yeah. I've got her.
(MUFFLED VOICES)
Nelly! Grab her.
Pull her in.
Is she breathing?
Jodes.Hey, Jody!
Jody?Jody!
Jody!
Jodes. Oh, my God.
OK.Oh, my God!
NELLY ON VOICEMAIL: This is me. You
know what to do.I ain't leaving a
message. I done that fucking twice.
Just calling to say don't bother.
Yeah? Be good.
I see what this is. I knew it would
be.
So...
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Claire's a tea. Are you a coffee?
Milk and three, if you're buying.
Go in and keep my seat warm.Nah,
you're good.
You're scared of something, Nelly.I
am not.
No. Why would I?I mean, we got her
out.I know we did.
She just doesn't know about herself
at the minute, that's all that was.
Yeah.And why would she?
Probably right.
I just don't think she should wake up
to my mush.
Fuck knows what that would do.
(CHUCKLES)
Should be who she knows.
Coffee and three?
Cheers.
(MACHINE BEEPS RHYTHMICALLY)
I know you love me.
I do, yeah, with all my heart.I
know you do.
And you'll tell me that.
On at me to ask you. Ask you, but
that's all you'll say,
some version of "I love you,
Bernie", so what's the point?
No, ask me.
We're having a girl.Yeah, I know we
are.That's why this is burning me.
I've got to protect her because...
you were 22
and I was 13, Melon.
I was 13, Melon!No, ask me!
Is that what you saw in me?
I did, yeah. Yeah, I did see that
but...not in that way.Oh, shit.
No, no. Bernie, wait, please. Just
list- No, just listen.
Yeah, I saw the age of you but I
wasn't after you for that.
And I wasn't lying what I said to
Nelly.
No, it repulsed me. That's why I
went nowhere near you.
And whatever I was thinking, I never
let you know about it, did I?
Eh? Did I ever?No, you buried it.
Yeah, down deep. Cos you were 13,
Bernie!
And that wasn't me.You said it was
hard though.Yeah.
Had to fight with yourself, urges
were that strong.
What are you on about, urges? There
were no fucking urges!
Look, I saw you...
and something went bump in me.
Turned me on my head.
And that bump, whatever it was, was
the same as when you come after me
a couple of years later on Longtail
Hill.
Same as when you married me.
Remember?
And every other day since and every
fucking day to come cos I don't...
I don't know, Bern. It's you.
From day one.
No. No, wait. No. No, Wait. Bernie.
No, listen. No.
Bernie, no. I've made this mistake
before. I should have trusted what
goes on
between you and me but I bottled it.
What does that mean?
You know what I'm like when I get
scared. I...I thought you'd go.
If I sent you away, I thought you'd
go and never come back.
So, I'm...I'm not gonna grab hold of
you like I did.
No, I'm gonna do like Nelly.
I'm gonna stay true. And whatever
the fuck you or anyone else says,
I know who I am.
And you know who I am. And you know
who I'll be for our little girl.
So I'm gonna trust that.
No, we're forever.
It's what you're always telling me,
isn't it?
(SOBS)So I'm gonna trust...
..that you remember that.
(OPENS DOOR)
Something with Jody held him up.
That's what it sounds like.
Do you a croque madame, shall I?
You know, I always thought that it
was the er...the egg
that made it a madame - you know,
egg and wombs - but apparently not.
Someone said that it looked like a
woman's hat from above.
You know, the fried egg.
Personally, I prefer my version.
(FRONT DOOR CLOSES)
Grace?
I'm not chasing after you.Good!
How did you get here?Bus.
It's not your fault, D.
Nelly. Excuse us a minute, Dylan.
Are you sure?It's OK.Yeah.
Here he is. This is Nelly.
It's good to see you on the mend,
Jody.
This should have happened a long
time ago.
All the times you've asked...
Jody...
It was my fault, mostly.He should
have met you.Most of that was.
I made it hard for your mum to trust
me.
Maybe you'll sit with Jody for a
minute, Nelly.
Let us stretch our legs...Yeah?
..get Claire to eat something.
We won't be long.OK.
You don't have to come all the way
in. I'll meet you wherever.
Yeah. Anywhere. I'll meet you
anywhere.
CHILD: Grace!Please, Cerys, I
wouldn't ask you if I weren't sure.
I wouldn't ask you - Jesus, Samson.
Thank you. Thank you, thank you,
thank you.
JJ's been sick again in the car.Has
he? Yeah?Yeah.
Ooh, yeah. No, I don't wanna see
that, thanks, Son.
Good to see you though.
Come with me, yeah? Come on.
Samson?(COUGHS)
Shit.
Son?
Samson?
Son!JJ: Mum!
Mum!
I'm not sure now's the right time but
I might not get a next chance.
And I swore to myself...
If luck let me meet you again, I
swore to God that I would beg your
pardon, so...
I never should have signed myself out
of your life without saying hello
first.
And I should have knocked on your
door after you wrote me that letter
you wrote.
I told myself I weren't ready, but...
Darling, it should have been me told
you about your grandmother's saltfish
dumplings.
It should have.
And how...stupid pretty you are like
your Auntie Ruth
because, Jesus, you so are. You are.
You're...
I'm just so sorry it's me.
Cos you were better off without me.
You were.
I weren't wrong about that.
In fact, I took comfort thinking
about that.
But the thing is...
you were better off without me...
..but I weren't...
not without you. (DOOR OPENS)
Tam's called, and Stace, looking for
you.What's going on?
Been calling nonstop. Something
urgent.Just... I...
Hey, Jodes.
Look, I'm sorry but um...I gotta duck
out for a minute.
It's um... It is something urgent.
Yeah, go.But I'll come right back,
if that's OK.Go. I'll call you,
tell you where we are.
I'll see you in a bit, darlin'.
Sorry.It's OK.Later.
Right.
Got you something, baby.
I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.
Zita! I'm sorry, Zita!
Son. Son, are you here?
Son. Son.
Son. (SOBS) Son!
NELLY ON VOICEMAIL: "This is me. You
know what to do."
I don't know what she thinks she's
playing at, but I want him back.
You know how I can forget myself
where my son is concerned.
I don't care what she thinks is
going on. I want him back
or I will mash her the fuck up!
Hey, Grace, what's going on? I'm on
my way back
but I heard that you and Samson had
gone for a bit of a run-around
and you got everybody a bit worried.
So I'm on my way. You let me know
where you are.
I'll come and see you, yeah?
Zita.(WHIMPERS)
(SOBS)OK. Where haven't you looked?
(SOBS)Where haven't you gone,
darlin'?
(SOBS)OK. Tam?
Can you make your way that way and
check?TAM: OK.Where is he?
See that there? Look. There.
It's like a big piece of glass.
They say it's that but, to me, it's
like an alien spaceship landing
and then it got caught and that's
the only bit left sticking out.
Have you been up there?Yeah, I have.
High up as you can get.
I ate in the restaurant too. Cost
hundreds.
See all the big city, the side and
that of the river.
Could you see me?
Yeah, I was high up enough to, yeah.
Felt like I could see everyone.
Armand de Brignac.
Whole bottle to myself.
225 quid.
Can I go up there?
(GASPS)(LAUGHS)
(LAUGHS)
(CONTINUES LAUGHING)
Please can I get down, Grace?
(TYRES SCREECH)
I'm here. I'm here.Have you heard
from her?
No, she's not answering.I told you
where she should be. Didn't I
fucking tell you?!
She's not gonna do nothing.How is
this not already something?
(SIREN WAILS) I just mean she's not
gonna hurt him. She's messing.
Who called these lot? The fuck are
these lot doing here now?
You wanna piss off, Nelly, you
really do.
I told you already, she might be
messing but I ain't.
Grace. You need to speak to me.
Remember me?
I do. From that Richard's bar,
weren't it?
Where'd you come from?
Meant to be picking up Grace.
She's not gonna hurt him. She just
doesn't know what to do now.
She said that?
Could you call her for me, please?
She needs to speak to me. Could
you... Could you call her?
(RINGING TONE)
(MOBILE BUZZES)
Hello?
I'm with him now, G.
Tell him to fuck off.
She says fuck off.
Best chance she has of getting out of
here, with me.
Tell her she needs to speak to me
now.Don't care what he's saying.
I want her to get out of here and go
with you. That's all I want.
Where are you?Give a shit about me
now, do you?
Yeah? Now I've got something you
need?
Just tell me where you are.I waited
and waited for you.
I thought we were going after Paul.
I'm sorry I kept you waiting, I'm
sorry I've let you down
but, please, Grace, where are you?
I just took him to remind myself
where we are.
Stay there and wait for me.
Please.
I'm on my way.
VOICEMAIL: "You what? You what?"
That's me.
Will you stay here until I call?
(SCOFFS) I don't know about that.
Then...I don't wanna...on your way
out, that way, is a KFC.
It's about a mile if you stay on this
road. Just give us an hour
or we're not coming.I...Please.
I won't be there a minute more.
Thank you.
Any joy, Nelly?
Are you all right?I am, yeah.
Come with me, Tam.Where?Just come
with me, can you?
DYLAN ON RECORDING: "I swear to God
it was you laughing, Jode. It woke
me up.
I weren't dreaming. It was you.
And you climbed up into my room
again
and was laughing your arse off about
it.
It didn't feel like dreaming."

I weren't gonna do nothing to him.

I got Cerys waiting.Think I was
gonna do something to him?I don't.
I don't. I think you're pissed off
with me and you had good reason.
You did.
And this is the way you proved it.
I wouldn't hurt him.I know, Grace.
I wouldn't.
I'm sorry.
Come here.
Nelly. Nelly.Ah, shit.
No.Please stay.You fucking
bastard!No.
Go easy with her.Fuck you!Come on.
Just go easy with her.You did this!
Fuck. Fuck! Fuckin' hate you!
Stop struggling!
(SCREAMS) I fuckin' hate you!
Calm down.(SCREAMS AND YELLS)
Thanks, Stace(!) Could have done
without your help.
I'll be in to see you
soon as I can.Don't bother.
(KNOCKS SOFTLY) I will though.
(SOFTLY) I want my dad.
Jody, what is it?Jody, what is it?
Is something hurting?What did you
say?
Where is he?
(KIDS YELL INDISTINCTLY)
JODY: 'I want my dad.'
Don't. Um...
I'm leaving this just so you can
hear me saying it.
Um...
I'm fine.
(CHATTERS)
It's like I tripped a year and a
half ago
and I've been falling ever since.
I found you...
..and that means I can find her.
'Scared to close my eyes longer than
a blink.'
I wake...
..like I've dreamt this.

So, so, so, so, so chuffed.
Cheers, mate.Thanks.
You proved me wrong and I just
wanted to say so.
I never thought you'd find her like
you did.
Glad to be wrong. Very much am.
And I'm really sorry for doubting.
Oh, you don't have to say that.
No, I really am.There's no sorry
needed, darling.
Ooh!(CHUCKLES)
All right? You want four again?Yes,
please.
(CHATTING AND LAUGHTER)So, the whole
village clan will be out.
Where is this?North of bloody outer
Scotland where my dad's from.
All the Jimmies will be sat around.
The whiskies are poured.
The fires are burning.
And with hairy-bollock voices
they would sing the Legend of Nelly
Rowe!(CHEERING) Yeah, all right.
They would. Cos that's what they'd
have made of you already.
I'm gonna come and get her now.She
said tomorrow.
I ain't sure about leaving Grace.
She's fine with Heather.
Well, they're about the same age.
Ha, ha, ha(!)(LAUGHS)
(INDISTINCT SPEECH)
It's ginormous.
Hm!Listen, it's not lost on me.
What's that?
Well, you never gave up, did you?
Eh? No matter what anyone said, what
they done, you never did.
You know, and look what you get.
You know, you stay true
and look.
I need a favour, Mel, right?
I got this off the bitch who had
Jody. Can you pull everything off of
it you can?Oh, come on.
And where's Bernie?That'll sort
itself out.Will it?Yeah, yeah.
No, I'm on about you.Do you want me
to speak to her?No, no.
I want you to tell me that you
realise how ginormous...
It's the best thing you've ever
done, ever will do.
You know, what you've done here,
for your Jody,
no-one'd do that. You did it.
You. It's you, Nell. What you've
done.
MAN: Oi-oi!2ND MAN: Go on, Nelly!

STACE: Please. Um...
# Nah-nah nah nah...
Shut up for a sec.(CHEERING)
# Hey-ey-ey - #Oi!
Attention, please.
MAN: Hold your row.
So, I bought this for my mate, him,
for his birthday.
Oi-oi!Exactly.
Yeah, and his majesty said he didn't
want it.
He said some bollocks about the old
and stinky one that he's got on,
um, being lucky.
Zita, smell it.
Do I lie?Eugh! Smells to high
heaven, yeah.
Yes.I told you.
So he said he's gonna stick with the
old stinky one
till he found his kiddie. And guess
what?
He only went and done it.
He only bloody did!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE DISTORTS)
I don't know what the fuck is going
on with me here.

(MUFFLED VOICE) Nelson Philip Rowe,

promise.(SOBS)
(MUFFLED AND DISTORTED VOICES)
(MUFFLED VOICE) What's wrong?
Why are you crying?
I can't stop, Stace.
Christ, I feel like I'm falling.
Sh...sh...should we get him
upstairs?What the fuck is going on
here?
He really don't want that new
yellow, Stace.
It's like a come-down, guys. It's
been hard getting Jody back.
Four different kinds, apparently, I
read. Shock.
All of us have got a touch of that.
We feel for you.
I wouldn't mind, girls, but it's put
me right off my beer.
(ALL CHUCKLE)BERNIE: Fuck me. No
wonder you're blubbing.
It's you, Bern.
Mega day. Like to say congrats.
Cheers.
Actually...What?
Give me a sec.
Stay there.Yeah.

Not even a day old.
Barely even a half.
It was the morning of the day you
arrived.
Picked you up out of your cot.
I was proper, look.
You were all wrapped up, swaddled
they call it.
Tiny.
Beautiful.
And hairy.
(LAUGHS) Oh, my God.
You were.
All over your face. Hairy.
Scared me at first.
NELLY: 'I weren't even looking back
for her.'
And if... Two seconds.
If I'd glanced back a tick-tock
later...
..I'd have missed her, Zita.
Right there in front of me and I
would have missed her.
Don't matter...Hm.
..two seconds one way or not...
..you found her.By fucking luck.
Yes, by luck. So what?
It's yours. Believe it.
I can't.
I think that's what this is, you
know. I just...
I can't.
CLAIRE: 'Had your smile though.'
Already you.
Phew. You just slayed me.
Couldn't take my eyes off.
I showed myself up doing my nut down
there, didn't I?
Did a bit.
Bollocks. Really?The toll of it.
Cos it's come out. Yeah.
You showed that.
And that's all it was.
Christ, Nelly. You're still shaking.
Can you hold onto me until it stops?
Can you, please?
CLAIRE:
'We were like that for ages.'
Just staring at each other.
Until I had to pee.
I didn't know how to put you down.
Which way up, which way round.
Not a clue.
I was petrified of breaking you,
getting it wrong.
Frantic.
Tears, flooding,
pee running down my leg.
I had to press the buzzer for the
nurse in the end.
I'm not even sure she came but...
..by the time she did, I had worked
it out.
I don't know how, but I did.
So he found her?It's the only noise
the estate's been making all night.
Can you call him for me? They're on
this phone looking for me. So can
you for me to talk to him?
It was a messy night. The best thing
is that we sleep.
You sleep and, come tomorrow, he's
here.
You were the luck he needed to find
her.Stop, for real.
To find Jody. You were. It was, it
was you.
No. Look, come here.
It's all right.
She's home.
You're good, yeah?
Chips, feels like.
Are you back home now, Bern?
Chips, Melon. I want that to be the
next thing that happens.
Tons of vinegar, no salt.
Just that.
I don't know after.
(SHUTTER CLICKS)
(SHUTTER CLICKS)
(SHUTTER CLICKS)
I'm scared like that again, Jodes.
And I don't know what to do for you
or with you.
But we'll work it out, baby.
We will.
However long it takes.
I just want you to know...
..that you're safe now.
God's honest, Jodes, you are.
Safe enough to come all the way back
to me.
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION CONTINUES)
Come on, darling. You need to do
this.
We wanted to welcome you home,
introduce ourselves.
We wanted to reassure you and your
parents we will do everything in our
power
to find and punish the people,
or person, who kept you away from
your mum and dad as long as they
did.
Is that something you think you could
help us with, Jody?
Could you remember anything about
where you were being kept?
Any names, places?
Anything that stuck in your mind.
You could write it down, Shola said,
if you don't wanna say.Yeah, you
can. Absolutely.
Would you prefer to do that?
You haven't done anything wrong,
Jody.
Whatever they might have told you,
however they might have threatened
you.
you're not in any trouble.
Can I ask you about the library,
Jody?
Can I ask who picked you up there...
..when you expected your biological
father?
Who was in the car?
Jodes.
It's OK, Claire, it's um...Early
days.
It's...a long road.
Just follow us will be easiest.
(TYRES SCREECH SOFTLY)
(LOCK CLICKS)
MOBILE RINGTONE: "You what? You what?
You what, you..."
NELLY ON VOICEMAIL: This is me. You
know what to do.
Here you are. Let me know if it's
too hot.
Is this porridge?Yeah.
Bit of fresh fruit - banana cut in
and that.
Recommended best.
Best for who?
Someone as far along as you are.
Good carbs and that.
Good start to your day.
I'm not sure, Melon.
Well, you don't have to.Sorry.
Sorry for what?
Well, cos I...sort of really hate
porridge.
(INDISTINCT SPEECH)
..going to move on to the physical
examination...
(GENTLE MUSIC)
(BEEPS)
Well done, Jodes.
I'm going to swab around inside your
lips.
That's it.
Everything's OK, baby.
You're so brave.
Brave girl.
This is one day's worth of pain
medication.
If Jody has been exposed to HIV,
this will help to prevent infection.
(CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)
..this one twice a day.
(CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)
This is an antibiotic. It is for
gonorrhoea and chlamydia.
So the instructions are on here.
It's to be taken twice a day.
Put your legs up.
(INDISTINCT SPEECH)
Just lean yourself back at bit.
So, let's pop one leg up here.
Put your leg up.That's it.
Good girl. There we go.
We can move it if it's uncomfortable.
Like we said, we can stop at any
point, Jody.OK.
I'm going to be as quick as I can
and I'll try and cause as little
discomfort as I can.
Yeah?
Is it OK if I continue, Jody?
I'm right here, OK?
If you need me, I'm right here.
Yeah. Yeah, you can continue.
OK.
OK, deep breaths, baby. Deep
breaths.
It's OK, baby.
Nearly done.
My brave girl.
Well done, baby.
39,193,259.9778, roughly.
Feels longer.You can have it in
milliseconds as well, nearly.
(CHUCKLES)
What do you mean by "old"?
What she looks like to me?
39-odd million seconds will do that
to you, won't it?
Not older.
There's something old in her now.
Can you not see it?
You be honest with her, will you?
Dylan?
Cos she's gonna need you to be.
OK.Yeah, you say...
how much you missed her.
What are you bloody shrugging for?
You missed your mate, didn't you?
Did you?Yes.
Well, then that's what you tell her.
You chat to her like you always used
to.
Yeah? (RINGTONE) "You what? You what?
You what, you what, you what?"
Oh.
Hey. I need you to call me as soon
as you get this.
Cos Grace is asking when you're
coming for her cos she's waiting.
So, as soon as you get this, please.
Straight to voicemail like he let it
ring out or like his phone's off?
It's early. The state of him last
night, I'd say it's probably off.
I wanna hear how it goes to
voicemail.He'll be here.
Can you ring him again, please? Can
you ring him again, please?
Or I will on mine. It's fine.All
right, wait. I'm calling.
Claire. Hey.
Watcha.
Can we come and see her maybe? I...
MOBILE RINGTONE: "You what? You what?
You what, you what, you what?"
"You what? You what? You what, you
what, you what?"
"You what? You what?"Answer your
phone, Nelly.Yeah.
(MOBILE OFF)
Literally 30 minutes, that's it.
That's all we get.
30 minutes for a lunch hour now.
I can't do any of my clubs and stuff
unless I packed-lunch it.
You'd hate it. Be kicking off louder
than anyone.
No-one sits next to me in English.
Or sociology. Or computer studies.
I won't let anyone and everyone
knows they can't.
Saved for you, ever since...
Nelly said to say how much I missed
you.
I wait for you every morning still.
See if you're coming to walk to
school.
(AS YODA) "Do or do not.
There is no try."
RINGTONE: "You what? You what? You
what, you what, you what?"
"You what? You what? You what, you
what, you what?"
(SIGHS) Shouldn't you answer it?
Call 'em back.
RINGTONE: "You what? You what?"
Nelly.Yeah.
I'll um...
I'll tell 'em to piss off and then
I'll turn it off, yeah?
What the fuck, Tam?
What the fuck what? We've been
calling you all morning. Where are
you?
Why wouldn't you answer and call
back?
We're not gonna go after Paul any
more, no?No, we...we are.
100% we're going after Paul. We...
Scrape me off now you've got
your daughter back.That's not even
close.
I just... It's just that I had to
come and see Jody and check in
and then I'm on my way over.OK, so,
when are you coming cos I'm nearly
fucking done.
So when?
Nelly.
Nelly!Jody?
(HANGS UP)
Where is she?Where is she?
What's going on?Jesus Christ!She
just went in.Jesus Christ.
Get her out!How did that happen?I
was just talking like you said to.
Barry.
Jody? (FRANTIC MUFFLED VOICES)
Get her out!
How did she end up in...
I c... I can't swim.
Jody. Nelly.
Jesus.Get her out, get her out!
(MUFFLED VOICES)
I've got her. Yeah. I've got her.
(MUFFLED VOICES)
Nelly! Grab her.
Pull her in.
Is she breathing?
Jodes.Hey, Jody!
Jody?Jody!
Jody!
Jodes. Oh, my God.
OK.Oh, my God!
NELLY ON VOICEMAIL: This is me. You
know what to do.I ain't leaving a
message. I done that fucking twice.
Just calling to say don't bother.
Yeah? Be good.
I see what this is. I knew it would
be.
So...
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Claire's a tea. Are you a coffee?
Milk and three, if you're buying.
Go in and keep my seat warm.Nah,
you're good.
You're scared of something, Nelly.I
am not.
No. Why would I?I mean, we got her
out.I know we did.
She just doesn't know about herself
at the minute, that's all that was.
Yeah.And why would she?
Probably right.
I just don't think she should wake up
to my mush.
Fuck knows what that would do.
(CHUCKLES)
Should be who she knows.
Coffee and three?
Cheers.
(MACHINE BEEPS RHYTHMICALLY)
I know you love me.
I do, yeah, with all my heart.I
know you do.
And you'll tell me that.
On at me to ask you. Ask you, but
that's all you'll say,
some version of "I love you,
Bernie", so what's the point?
No, ask me.
We're having a girl.Yeah, I know we
are.That's why this is burning me.
I've got to protect her because...
you were 22
and I was 13, Melon.
I was 13, Melon!No, ask me!
Is that what you saw in me?
I did, yeah. Yeah, I did see that
but...not in that way.Oh, shit.
No, no. Bernie, wait, please. Just
list- No, just listen.
Yeah, I saw the age of you but I
wasn't after you for that.
And I wasn't lying what I said to
Nelly.
No, it repulsed me. That's why I
went nowhere near you.
And whatever I was thinking, I never
let you know about it, did I?
Eh? Did I ever?No, you buried it.
Yeah, down deep. Cos you were 13,
Bernie!
And that wasn't me.You said it was
hard though.Yeah.
Had to fight with yourself, urges
were that strong.
What are you on about, urges? There
were no fucking urges!
Look, I saw you...
and something went bump in me.
Turned me on my head.
And that bump, whatever it was, was
the same as when you come after me
a couple of years later on Longtail
Hill.
Same as when you married me.
Remember?
And every other day since and every
fucking day to come cos I don't...
I don't know, Bern. It's you.
From day one.
No. No, wait. No. No, Wait. Bernie.
No, listen. No.
Bernie, no. I've made this mistake
before. I should have trusted what
goes on
between you and me but I bottled it.
What does that mean?
You know what I'm like when I get
scared. I...I thought you'd go.
If I sent you away, I thought you'd
go and never come back.
So, I'm...I'm not gonna grab hold of
you like I did.
No, I'm gonna do like Nelly.
I'm gonna stay true. And whatever
the fuck you or anyone else says,
I know who I am.
And you know who I am. And you know
who I'll be for our little girl.
So I'm gonna trust that.
No, we're forever.
It's what you're always telling me,
isn't it?
(SOBS)So I'm gonna trust...
..that you remember that.
(OPENS DOOR)
Something with Jody held him up.
That's what it sounds like.
Do you a croque madame, shall I?
You know, I always thought that it
was the er...the egg
that made it a madame - you know,
egg and wombs - but apparently not.
Someone said that it looked like a
woman's hat from above.
You know, the fried egg.
Personally, I prefer my version.
(FRONT DOOR CLOSES)
Grace?
I'm not chasing after you.Good!
How did you get here?Bus.
It's not your fault, D.
Nelly. Excuse us a minute, Dylan.
Are you sure?It's OK.Yeah.
Here he is. This is Nelly.
It's good to see you on the mend,
Jody.
This should have happened a long
time ago.
All the times you've asked...
Jody...
It was my fault, mostly.He should
have met you.Most of that was.
I made it hard for your mum to trust
me.
Maybe you'll sit with Jody for a
minute, Nelly.
Let us stretch our legs...Yeah?
..get Claire to eat something.
We won't be long.OK.
You don't have to come all the way
in. I'll meet you wherever.
Yeah. Anywhere. I'll meet you
anywhere.
CHILD: Grace!Please, Cerys, I
wouldn't ask you if I weren't sure.
I wouldn't ask you - Jesus, Samson.
Thank you. Thank you, thank you,
thank you.
JJ's been sick again in the car.Has
he? Yeah?Yeah.
Ooh, yeah. No, I don't wanna see
that, thanks, Son.
Good to see you though.
Come with me, yeah? Come on.
Samson?(COUGHS)
Shit.
Son?
Samson?
Son!JJ: Mum!
Mum!
I'm not sure now's the right time but
I might not get a next chance.
And I swore to myself...
If luck let me meet you again, I
swore to God that I would beg your
pardon, so...
I never should have signed myself out
of your life without saying hello
first.
And I should have knocked on your
door after you wrote me that letter
you wrote.
I told myself I weren't ready, but...
Darling, it should have been me told
you about your grandmother's saltfish
dumplings.
It should have.
And how...stupid pretty you are like
your Auntie Ruth
because, Jesus, you so are. You are.
You're...
I'm just so sorry it's me.
Cos you were better off without me.
You were.
I weren't wrong about that.
In fact, I took comfort thinking
about that.
But the thing is...
you were better off without me...
..but I weren't...
not without you. (DOOR OPENS)
Tam's called, and Stace, looking for
you.What's going on?
Been calling nonstop. Something
urgent.Just... I...
Hey, Jodes.
Look, I'm sorry but um...I gotta duck
out for a minute.
It's um... It is something urgent.
Yeah, go.But I'll come right back,
if that's OK.Go. I'll call you,
tell you where we are.
I'll see you in a bit, darlin'.
Sorry.It's OK.Later.
Right.
Got you something, baby.
I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.
Zita! I'm sorry, Zita!
Son. Son, are you here?
Son. Son.
Son. (SOBS) Son!
NELLY ON VOICEMAIL: "This is me. You
know what to do."
I don't know what she thinks she's
playing at, but I want him back.
You know how I can forget myself
where my son is concerned.
I don't care what she thinks is
going on. I want him back
or I will mash her the fuck up!
Hey, Grace, what's going on? I'm on
my way back
but I heard that you and Samson had
gone for a bit of a run-around
and you got everybody a bit worried.
So I'm on my way. You let me know
where you are.
I'll come and see you, yeah?
Zita.(WHIMPERS)
(SOBS)OK. Where haven't you looked?
(SOBS)Where haven't you gone,
darlin'?
(SOBS)OK. Tam?
Can you make your way that way and
check?TAM: OK.Where is he?
See that there? Look. There.
It's like a big piece of glass.
They say it's that but, to me, it's
like an alien spaceship landing
and then it got caught and that's
the only bit left sticking out.
Have you been up there?Yeah, I have.
High up as you can get.
I ate in the restaurant too. Cost
hundreds.
See all the big city, the side and
that of the river.
Could you see me?
Yeah, I was high up enough to, yeah.
Felt like I could see everyone.
Armand de Brignac.
Whole bottle to myself.
225 quid.
Can I go up there?
(GASPS)(LAUGHS)
(LAUGHS)
(CONTINUES LAUGHING)
Please can I get down, Grace?
(TYRES SCREECH)
I'm here. I'm here.Have you heard
from her?
No, she's not answering.I told you
where she should be. Didn't I
fucking tell you?!
She's not gonna do nothing.How is
this not already something?
(SIREN WAILS) I just mean she's not
gonna hurt him. She's messing.
Who called these lot? The fuck are
these lot doing here now?
You wanna piss off, Nelly, you
really do.
I told you already, she might be
messing but I ain't.
Grace. You need to speak to me.
Remember me?
I do. From that Richard's bar,
weren't it?
Where'd you come from?
Meant to be picking up Grace.
She's not gonna hurt him. She just
doesn't know what to do now.
She said that?
Could you call her for me, please?
She needs to speak to me. Could
you... Could you call her?
(RINGING TONE)
(MOBILE BUZZES)
Hello?
I'm with him now, G.
Tell him to fuck off.
She says fuck off.
Best chance she has of getting out of
here, with me.
Tell her she needs to speak to me
now.Don't care what he's saying.
I want her to get out of here and go
with you. That's all I want.
Where are you?Give a shit about me
now, do you?
Yeah? Now I've got something you
need?
Just tell me where you are.I waited
and waited for you.
I thought we were going after Paul.
I'm sorry I kept you waiting, I'm
sorry I've let you down
but, please, Grace, where are you?
I just took him to remind myself
where we are.
Stay there and wait for me.
Please.
I'm on my way.
VOICEMAIL: "You what? You what?"
That's me.
Will you stay here until I call?
(SCOFFS) I don't know about that.
Then...I don't wanna...on your way
out, that way, is a KFC.
It's about a mile if you stay on this
road. Just give us an hour
or we're not coming.I...Please.
I won't be there a minute more.
Thank you.
Any joy, Nelly?
Are you all right?I am, yeah.
Come with me, Tam.Where?Just come
with me, can you?
DYLAN ON RECORDING: "I swear to God
it was you laughing, Jode. It woke
me up.
I weren't dreaming. It was you.
And you climbed up into my room

and was laughing your arse off about
it.
It didn't feel like dreaming."
