"All right, chicken." "You all right?" "Yeah." "All right?" "Yeah,  fine." "How are you, mate?" "Come here." "Listen, you're gonna be all right, OK?" "They told you?" "Yeah, they told me." "But listen, you've got absolutely nothing to be worried about, OK?" "Not with everything that's been going on." "I'm sorry." "You don't have to say sorry for anything." "All right?" "I should be the one who's apologising." "Why don't you both go and get a biscuit, OK?" "Go on." "Has he been all right?" "Yeah,  yeah." "He enjoyed going to the park with Sarah." "What were you doing on that?" "Oh, just messing about on the internet." "Nothing to do with Clayton, I hope." "No." "Nah, I'm done with all that, there's no point to it." "Ready for your tea?" "No, I'm all right, actually." "And so other kids." "I'm gonna nip across to Tyrone's and pick up my new motor." "Thought I'd take that for a spin and then get them a burger on the way back." "You bought a new car?" "Yeah." "It's nothing flash but it'll do the job." "Well, they'll be thrilled." "It's..." "It's good to see you looking forward." "Got you one." "Ah!" "Cheers,  buddy." "KEVIN:" "Oh, ha ha!" "I think he's got 'em eating out of the palm of his hand." "Is there any chance you can get your boyfriend to have a word with Victorian dad?" "Seb wouldn't be here at all if it wasn't for your dad." "He made me see sense." "He's blind to it himself." "Darling, he just wants what's best for you." "I get the chance to go off on a once-in-a-lifetime trip and he'd rather me be stuck here booking in MOTs." "Smashing, that." "Where you gonna put it?" "I don't really care." "My brother had shelves full of these things." "He was professional." "Not Division One but he earned a living." "Must be in the genes." "Shame about the rest of 'em." "Your father did sound very sorry." "So, why's he not here, then?" "Some work situation." "He didn't go into specifics." "Problem cos there wasn't any." "Why did he have to tell me he'd come?" "Oh,  I  don't  know." "I give up trying to fathom your dad." "He ruined tonight for me, like he does everything else." "I'm sure there was a good reason - Oh,  give  it  up,  Ken!" "I'm sure he's capable of coming up with his own sob stories." ""I did it cos I was drinking, I did it cos I wasn't drinking." "You're neglecting me, you're suffocating me!"" "Oh, you name it." "Everything's just an excuse." "I wish I could argue with you." "You know, when it comes to letting you down, he never lets you down." "I just wish " "Hey, it's not your fault, you've done all you could." "Anyway, listen, I'd better get to work." "There's some chicken and salad in the fridge for your tea." "He can have tea here, if he wants." "I'd appreciate the company." "OK." "Thanks, Ken." "And I'm serious, don't beat yourself up over Peter." "He's not worth it." "See you." "What do you think?" "It's  ace." "Good." "Listen, I'm sorry I haven't been around as much lately." "It's all right." "No,  it's  not." "I should have spent more time with you." "I'm gonna but that right while I still can, all right?" "Because I love you." "Both of you." "It's important that you know that." "I  do." "I love you, daddy!" "Thanks, sweetheart." "Cos honestly, that means more to me than... just about anything." "You're the best kids I could ever wish to have and I love you very much and I'm very proud of you." "I'm sorry about today." "Mate,  no..." "What I meant when I said I wanted you to grow up, I..." "I just want you to look after your sister if ever I'm not there." "I want you to take care of her." "Are you going away?" "No, no." "Look, I'm not going anywhere but nobody knows what the future holds, do they?" "Listen, wherever you go and wherever you are" "I will always be there, all right." "Just like what your mum is." "Do you understand?" "Not really." "You don't have to, mate." "What's important is that you know things are gonna be all right from now on." "Things are only gonna get better for you two." "Starting now." "Now?" "Yeah, you said you like riding in the car, don't you?" "How do you fancy driving it?" "Really?" "Can I?" "Yeah." "What do you reckon, Lil?" "Shall we have a bit of fun?" "Yeah!" "Waitors can't keep up." "If you're not necking Pinot wotsit they're not interested." "Seb seems a decent lad." "Yeah, he does." "I'm  glad  I  listened  to  you." "You don't get this many grey hairs without learning a thing or two." "You'll be calling me Grasshopper in a minute." "Pity you're not so wise when it comes to your own daughter." "I'm not gonna change my mind." "Even if it means denying her an amazing holiday, the chance to see a bit of the world?" "Yeah,  a  bit  of  Rosie's  world." "A bit of the world I'd sooner she never clapped eyes on." "I don't want Sophie exposed to all that stuff." "She's  21." "Yeah, not too old to go down the same road as her sister." "I don't want that for her." "I didn't know you felt like that." "She was a bright kid, Rosie, but easily led." "I should have been stricter." "It's hard being a parent, I know." "But you can't punish Sophie for Rosie's lifestyle." "She's her own person and she's got both feet on the ground." "Yeah, and that's just the way I want to keep it." "I'm not gonna help her have her head turned round." "You've got to let go, Kev." "You've got to let her make her own decisions and yeah, her own mistakes." "She's not your little girl any more." "She always be my little girl." "And she's great the way she is." "(SOPHIE CLEARS THROAT)" "Can I get that in writing?" "You're daft, you, Dad." "I'm just looking out for you." "It's what dads do." "Look, I failed Rosie, I'm not gonna let you down as well." "I am not Rosie, OK?" "She was away with the fairies a long time before she went to London, Dad." "Yeah, well, that environment, it's not healthy." "The people she's hanging round with, they're are a bad influence." "They're ridiculous, is what they are, and I won't be taking any life lessons from them." "Yeah, but you might be mixing with 'em." "No, I won't." "I'm going to catch up with my sister." "I'm going to do some sightseeing." "I'm not gonna come back as Kate Moss." "I promise, Dad." "Well, bring us back summat nice then, won't you?" "I can go?" "Are you gonna keep my job open?" "Oh, yeah!" "Like I was ever really gonna sack you!" "Dad, thank you!" "Oh, you won't regret it, Dad." "Thank you!" "I'd better not." "I'd better not, girl." "(GIGGLES) Dad!" "Hi, kids." "If you're watching this then you'll know what's happened and I think you deserve to know why." "And we're coming to the right hander!" "What's this?" "Hamilton's made a mistake, he's gone wide!" "There's a gap for Max, can he make it?" "Yes!" "Yes, he's got it!" "This boy from Weatherfield is on the brink of becoming the Formula One world champion!" "Oh, and he sees the chequered flag." "Can he make it?" "He's almost there!" "He's got it!" "Yes, he's got it!" "Unbelievable scenes here at Silverstone!" "Max is the champion and it's a day he'll remember for the rest of his life!" "Definitely!" "Me  too,  mate." "Me  too." "Can we go round again?" "What do you think, Lil, shall we?" "Yeah!" "Right, well, lights out, let's go!" "All right, steady on!" "Gail?" "Did David pick up a car from you tonight?" "Yeah, look, I did my best with it, and I told him " "Did he say where he was going?" "No, he just drove off with Max and Lily, Victoria Street." "How did he look?" "He  was  good,  yeah." "Joking with the kids." "A lot better than he were this morning." "This morning?" "I was trying to persuade him not to have the car." "Well, why would you do that?" "Cos  it  doesn't  make  any  sense." "It's gonna cost a fortune to put it through its next MOT." "A lot more than it's worth." "And  he  still  took  it?" "Yeah, he went all Little Britain on me. "No, I want that one."" "Nothing I could say was gonna change " "Did he say anything else?" "Anything unusual?" "Erm..." "Think!" "It's important." "Er..." "Just when I said it wouldn't get through the next MOT he said he didn't care about the next MOT." "Trust me, I need this after today." "If I took after my dad I would be bust within a week." "Well, I suppose you haven't got his genes, eh?" "Yep, thank God." "That is one inheritance I'm happy to pass up." "Hi, you're back early." "Yeah, well, it was quiet for a Friday." "Spent most of the afternoon talking to Tim." "So, how'd it go with Tommy's missus?" "Tommy's out for the season, apparently, so she fired me." "I'm sorry." "There's no need, honestly." "I don't want you feeling guilty about that on top of everything else you must be going through." "I mean, my worries next to yours - Matter just as much." "More, after everything I've put you through." "Probably gonna put you through in the future." "You have to do what feels right for you, OK?" "I am not gonna put a gun to your head." "Well, listen, you don't have to because..." "I've been thinking." "I'm gonna do it." "I'm gonna take the test." "(DOOR OPENS)" "What are you doing?" "You burgling your own house?" "Oh, you pair took your time." "All right, we're here now." "What's the panic?" "Panic?" "!" "Panic doesn't even BEGIN to cover it!" "Have either of you seen David?" "I saw him earlier." "We came back here for a coffee." "How did he seem?" "A bit upset about Max but...erm...yeah, fine." "We had a nice chat." "Well, I don't know what you said to him in the course of your 'nice chat' but he is planning on making the biggest mistake of his life!" "Mum, calm down, you're hysterical." "I've a right to be!" "He's planning on killing Clayton..." "and himself!" "What?" "He must have been planning it for days." "I mean, that's why he bought the car." "What car?" "A deathtrap that won't even make its next MOT but he's not bothered about that cos he's not planning on being here!" "He'll be dead!" "All right, all right." "I saw him earlier." "He was talking about the kids, you know, the future." "Yeah, he tried that routine with me as well." "But you know David, lying comes as easy as breathing." "Where have you got this from?" "The horse's mouth." "So, David's told you that he's gonna kill Clayton?" "Hold on, if he was serious about " "No, he wasn't planning on us finding out till afterwards." "What's this?" "Just..." "Just watch it." "'Hi, kids." "If you're watching this then you'll know what's happened.'" "Hey, I can do that." "No,  no." "It's  all  right,  I'll  do  it." "I might have some Brasso under the sink." "Perhaps get a bit of shine back on your trophy." "It'll take more than that." "I was enormously proud of you tonight, of your hard work and your achievement." "Your father's no-show doesn't diminish that." "Do you think he'll ever change?" "Oh, I've asked myself that question for years." "Trouble is, he needs structure, and discipline." "That's why the Navy was so good for him." "Left to himself..." "Yeah." "Can I borrow your laptop?" "There's this free games site I use." "Yeah, help yourself." "Hey, what's this grand tour?" "Oh, yeah, I was looking at that earlier." "Historically it's a trip around some of the great cultural centres of Europe." "You going?" "I wanted to go for the last 50 years but the furthest I ever got was pressing my nose against the glass." "Deirdre wasn't keen." "There's nothing stopping you now." "Oh, I'd love to." "See the Duomo, visit the Uffizi in Florence." "Sip coffee on the Piazza del Campo in Sienna." "But...at my age, a solo traveller..." "Didn't Emily go to Peru on her own?" "Yes." "Yes, she did." "Well, I hope you're proud of yourself." "What?" "That lady you gave your little Thanksgiving speech to." "I tried to call her back." "My mate Ben's having a Thanksgiving dinner this year." "Really?" "Are his parents American?" "No." "I think his dad's from Wolverhampton." "Yeah, well, never mind that." "She didn't want one corsage, she wanted them for the whole year group." "By the time I got back to her she'd gone somewhere else." "Well, you're better off having no truck with it." "Something like a prom is the thin end of the wedge." "No, Dad, it was the thick end of about 800 notes." "Is that pounds or dollars?" "(LAUGHS)" "Oi, it's not funny." "And you're not getting away with it." "I beg your pardon!" "Mary is messing me about with her shifts for next week so I need you to cover for her but I'm gonna answer the phone." "Actually...erm..." "I'm gonna be away next week." "Dad, the library will still be there the week after." "No, I'm not going to the library, I'm going to Italy." "And...er..." "I'm gonna book it now." "Yeah, right (!" ") I mean it." "The nearest you'll get to Italy is a tin of ravioli you'll have your dinner one night." "Well,  we'll  see,  shall  we?" "So you'll pardon me for being hysterical." "It's unbelievable." "Surely he wouldn't actually go through with " "Yes, he would." "He almost did a few days ago." "What are you talking about?" "Clayton's on remand." "It wasn't Clayton he was after, it was his brother." "He threw the brick through his window?" "He went to the hospital." "He tried to smother him." "Why would he do that?" "He was the next best thing to Clayton himself and he could get to him, that's what he told me." "So, what stopped him?" "The nurse came in." "Why the hell didn't you tell me this?" "!" "I thought he'd come to his senses." "Come to his senses (!" ")" "He just decided the brother wasn't enough." "It was Clayton or nothing." "He must be planning something for the trial." "That's the only shot he'll get at it." "We just need to be really glad that we've seen this." "We can sit him down - What, and have a nice chat?" "Sarah, it doesn't matter that we know." "You've seen the video." "He can't be reasoned with any more." "It's gone way beyond that." "OK, so, we phone the police or have him sectioned." "There's people who can help - The first thing they'll ask is," ""What's your basis for thinking he's gonna commit another crime?" "Do we have proof he's mentally ill?" What do we say then?" "Exactly." "We can't sit them down with a bucket of popcorn and show them that little production, can we?" "Or tell them that he tried to kill Macca." "He'd end up doing more time than Clayton himself." "So, what do we do then?" "I  dunno." "But we've got to come up with something fast." "I thought you weren't coming." "I wanted to surprise you." "You did." "Thanks for my top." "That's  all  right." "You shouldn't have spent all that money." "Don't you want it?" "Yeah,  it's  lovely." "But I know how hard you must have worked to earn the money in whatever job you've got." "Hey,  look..." "Don't worry about that." "So, erm..." "What do you think of my mum?" "She's nice, yeah." "And Tim and Kev, like those old blokes out of the Muppet films." "Yeah, a bit." "I think my mum likes you." "Oh, good." "Good." "Yeah,  it  is." "She's been brilliant for us." "When she first adopted me I was a nightmare." "Used to tell lies, steal stuff, all sorts cos I thought I'd impress." "Oh,  yeah?" "How stupid was I?" "Then I twigged." "When someone really cares for you they don't want all that." "They just want - Oh,  look." "Here's  my  bus." "Come here." "Right, I'll call you, yeah?" "See you in a bit." "Bye." "(DOOR OPENS)" "GAIL:" "Hello." "All right?" "Yeah, you just took your time, that's all." "I was getting a bit worried." "I told you we were stopping for a burger." "Was it nice?" "Yeah,  Dad  let  me  drive." "What?" "Well, it wasn't like the M62 or anything, it was just an empty car park." "Even so, it's a bit reckless." "I mean, you're all these kids have got now." "It's your responsibility to look after 'em and keep 'em safe." "Well, yeah, it was perfectly safe." "Right, come on, upstairs, brush your teeth, put your PJs on." "Can we do it again?" "Yeah." "Yeah, if we get chance." "Thanks, it was epic." "Oh, you wouldn't believe he was the same kid that came home from school." "Yeah, well, he'll be all right." "They both will." "Yeah, you just need to put in the time with 'em, that's all." "I mean, they light up when you're around." "Especially Max." "Well, he drove a car and ate a burger." "When your his age what's not to like?" "Who'd be a wildebeest?" "I dunno." "I'd rather be a wildebeest than a zebra." "At least they can fight back a bit." "Yeah, sometimes fighting makes no odds." "I've not seen one win yet." "I'm sure they must do sometimes, when the lions are having an off day." "Ah, maybe." "I suppose the kill does make for better telly." "You watch, soon they'll be releasing celebrities onto the game reserve." "They do already, don't they?" "No, that's Australia." "There's a difference between a big spider and a cheetah." "(GEORDIE ACCENT) Will Kriss Akabusi be able to fight off a pack of ravenous hyenas?" "Will Luke Goss be able to out swim an angry crocodile?" "I'd tune in." "Why is the crocodile angry?" "Because he's been listening to When Will I Be Famous?" "That's why." "Do  you  want  another  brew?" "No,  it's  my  turn." "No, it's the least I can do after everything I've put you through." "Listen, you have done more than enough for me today." "I know  it  wasn't  an  easy  decision." "Oh,  I  dunno." "I just didn't want to face up to it." "No one would blame you." "Least of all me." "I shouldn't have put you through all that, not on top of everything else, I'm sorry." "Don't be daft." "I just wish I could be the man you deserve, Michelle." "Braver, stronger, more of a man, I suppose." "Listen, YOU are not just a man, you are my man and I don't want anybody else, thank you." "I believe in you, Steve." "I knew you'd make the right choice eventually." "Well, you've got more faith in me than I have." "Listen, if this test comes back and it's good news" "I swear I am gonna be better." "For you, babe, for Amy and this little one in here." "And if it's bad news, then... ..well, I'll just have to face up to it." "I'll have no other choice." "As long as we're in this together." "That's all that matters." "Hey." "If you're looking for a table there's plenty to choose from." "How's David?" "As you'd expect." "Calm on the outside." "The  opposite  of  us,  then." "Yeah, but, for all his bravado I don't think he's a lost cause yet." "I mean, when he's with the kids you can... you can see he's struggling." "You think we should talk to him?" "What,  and  risk  spooking  him?" "Having him disappear again?" "No, we can't take the chance." "If we're gonna challenge him we need to be in control." "So, what do you suggest?" "Well, I've got an idea." "You might think it's a bit extreme but I've wracked my brains for an alternative and there just isn't one." "It's our last resort." "But I need you to help me pull it off."
