"What are you doing?" "You're not seeing anyone?" "In town?" "A boy?" "No." "If I was, I wouldn't tell you." "Everyone has secrets." "It's how the world works, isn't it?" "Come on." "Won't be long now, lass." "Good girl." "Looks like weather." "Not till eight, I'd say, give or take." "History repeats itself." "Our Jack's birthday, 25 years ago today." "Born about eight." "Moment he screamed, pissed it down." "How's our mother-to-be?" "I reckon she'll drop that calf next 24 hour." "I were going to Jack's for t'weekend, but I could always..." "No, we'll be fine." "I'll get the girls to help with the slurry." "Ready?" "Are you ready?" " You're not trying!" " Shut up!" "I'm 16, I'm not supposed to be helping pump" " gallons of shit out the ground." " Hannah." "Hannah." "Supposed to have a life!" "Coop." "I can wait on it." "Milk yields are down and I'm being pressed on prices," " next month should be..." " It's fine." "Guttering's blocked." "I can't get up there meself anymore." "See if I can get our Jack to come over sometime next week." "Thank you." "For everything." "Ten past eight." "Be about right, eh?" "Don't you ever put anything away?" "Hear Karsten's buying your place." "I'm not selling." "To anybody." "Put it on account." "If you like" " Karsten, was there something..." " Yes." "I've cash." "Give me the word and I'll pay you tomorrow." "You can't last another winter, not with these prices." "This is my home." "Then I've an alternative proposition." "Marriage." "Karsten, I..." "Hannah?" "Amy?" " Broken glass, broken lies." " What?" "That's what Coop says." " Broken glass..." " I heard." "Amy, Coop's a lovely man, but that's just an old wives' tale." "And don't dare tell him I said that." "Hannah." "Hannah!" "Hannah, did you get through to the vet?" "Hannah!" " Hannah, the vet!" " Another hour." "Shit!" "The calf's too big" " We'll lose them both." "You can't let them die." " Fetch the biggest knife you can." " What are you gonna do?" " We'll have to cut it out." " You can't kill it!" "I can't afford to lose the mother." "Go!" "Hello, sweetness." "Where's your mum?" "This is not good." "This calf has to come out now." "Easy, girl, easy." "Dystocia Did you call a vet?" "An hour." "We're going to get the calf out." " We could save the cow." " Do you want to save both?" "Get some boiled water, twine and a sacking needle." "Sh, sh, sh." "It's all right, girl." " Whisper in her ear." " What?" "You Know the Three Blind Mice?" "Whisper that," "Hold her steady, best you can." " I've got her." " Go on." "Three blind mice" "See how they run" "They all run after the farmer's wife" "Who cut off their tails with a carving knife" "Did you ever see such a thing in your life" "As three blind mice" " Again." " Three blind mice" "See how they run" " OK." " See how they run" "They all run after the farmer's wife" "Who cut off their tails with a carving knife" "Three blind mice" "Three blind mice" " Here we go." " See how they run" "See how they run" "They all run after the farmer's wife" "I've got it." "Who cut off their tails with a carving knife" "Did you ever see such a thing in your life?" "He's breathing." "They both stand a fighting chance." "No small thanks to you..." "Aden." "So, Aden, right?" "What brings you here?" "Dean." "Thought I'd look him up." "He left." "Is that so?" " Where do you know him from?" " The rigs." "You can't have seen him for almost... ten years." "In another life." "So... why now?" "I was passing." "He, erm..." "He never mentioned you." "Is that dinner I smell in the oven?" " Oh, you must have, er..." " Places to go?" "I'm in no hurry." "But if you rather I left, I understand." "No, of course." "It's the least we can do." "Mm." "Mm." "This is good." " So you run the place by yourself?" " Things are tight." "We can't afford to take on anyone else." "If I could, erm... catch a night's sleep..." "He saved the calf." "One night." "Thank you." "In the snap room." "It's not much, but..." "It's fine." "Shower and toilet next door." "Breakfast six-thirty." "What about..." "Luke?" "Yeah." "It's a bit boring." "What about, like, Gabriel or something?" "Gabriel's a good name." "It is. isn't Gabriel in the Bible?" "Yeah." " I like Aden." " You don't know him." "I think he's an angel." "Gemma takes her sister to see Take That." "And I get a God freak!" "Weirdo." "Oh." "Morning." "What's your business?" "There's no honey here." "Not for you." "Token of his affection." " Who is he?" " Karsten?" "Owns the next holding." "He's harmless enough." " As long as he thinks he's in with a chance." " And is he?" "What's it to you?" " What do you think you're doing?" " Helping." "You're welcome." " He have a name?" " Ivan." "Good blood." "His father sired half the cattle in 50 miles." "Fetch a price, I'd say." "Enough to keep this place going for a few months." "If it ever came to it." "I thought you'd be gone." "A couple of weeks." "Food and lodgings." "You can work the hell out of me." "We'll be fine." "Is it Dean?" "I just don't think it's a good idea." "A month." "No more." "The place needs work, and you know it." "Cass." "I thought I'd find thee here." "Today." "He'd be 38." "Well, it's bound to play on thee mind some." "He was their father." "I..." "He were no such thing, Cassie Naylor." "Not in any true sense of the word." "A father protects." "Bless you, Coop." "You're a natural." "I know why you're here." "You think if you can get me to like you, you can get in my mum's knickers." "Any chance of that, you think?" "Liking or knickers?" "Either." "How about neither?" "So, what is it?" "Luke or Gabriel?" "Gabriel." "That's cool for a calf." "My God." " You did this." " Yeah?" "Prove it." "Life and death on the farm." "People like to forget it, but that's how it is." " Leave." " You heard the lady." "Fuck you." "Put it down." " Put it down." "You're not gonna use it." " Enough!" "He leaves now." "And I mean now." "That's not going to happen." "I'll close you down, Cassie." "Ease off." "It's just land." "Drains are blocked again." "On the list." "Drink?" "You've no pictures of Dean." "You're different to him." "Different?" "How?" "I don't know." "He didn't treat you right, did he?" "It's late." " I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention him." " It's OK." "I didn't mean to." "I s'll never let it happen again." "You're not from around here." "Working here?" "Karsten killed my calf." " He says not." " And you'll take his word on it?" " Leave it 24 hours and let things..." " He had his shotgun!" "Let things cool off." "Karsten's mostly talk, Cass." "Girls OK?" "They're fine." "Any word on Dean?" " Dean's Cass's..." " I know." "I just thought I'd..." "Dean and Jed used to have a drink on Saturday night." "Chase the girls." "Always best everyone knows where they stand, though, eh?" "That's all." " You've missed the bus." " There's another one in 20 minutes." "Well, you'll be late." "I'll drive you." "You don't have to talk to me." "Why are you being like this?" "Like what?" "Like all that matters is what you think, what you want." "That's all anybody in this family thinks about anymore." "Right." "Meaning?" "Nothing." "I mean, we're not exactly a family anyway, are we?" "Just three people that live together." "What do you think you're doing?" "Private road." " It's our land." "She's trespassing" " Oh, bullshit!" " Easy, Cass." " He can't deny us access." "We've always used the road." "Karsten?" "Needs work." "Yeah." "If there were an accident, we'd be liable." " Jesus!" "You're not going to listen to that crap?" " She can walk." "Fuck you, Karsten." " I've got a farm to run." " Cass..." "Yeah, let's see what the law has to say, eh?" "You'd best move the pick-up, let her out." "I'm a reasonable man." " We'll have to look into the access rights." " Oh." "Don't be a prick, Karsten." "I'll talk to Karsten." "No." "It's my farm, I'll handle it." " isn't it about time you had someone..." " What?" "To look after me?" "Someone on your side, that's all." " Get the fuck..." " Shut up." "Evening." "What do you want?" "To talk." "Like reasonable adults." "This is a precaution." "If it makes you feel uncomfortable..." "You see, Cassie Naylor's not selling her holding." "To you or to anyone else." "Not now." "Not ever." "But it's not about the land, is it?" "Get out!" " You're not a listener." " Don't be so..." "Agh!" "Stop your fuckin' whining'." "No!" "More fun than rabbits." "Who are you?" "Feel like killing something?" "Dean was lucky." "Having this." "Having you." "Hannah and Amy." "You sound jealous." "I never had much of a family if the truth be told." "My dad left when I was just a kid." "Your mother?" "Can't really remember her." "I'm sorry." "Oh, I did all right." "I'm not after pity." "I just want you to understand I mean it when I say Dean was lucky." "I'd do anything to have what he had." "A man who let that go... threw it away..." "I'd say he deserves whatever comes his way." " It's good." " Mm," "So what's with this guy Aden?" "Oh, he's creepy." " There's a party tonight at Dave's." " I'm not staying." "Oh, my God." "Not Frazer?" "You're staying at Frazer's?" "That's cool." "I'll sort it out." "." "Night." "." "Night." "Lights out in ten minutes." "Amy's in bed." "Let me see." "Who did this?" "My dad had a queer sense of humour." "Karsten's a big softie" "Some people have to be told." "That's all." " Come on." " Go away!" "You stupid slag!" "You stupid, fucking slag!" "Han!" "Hi, Cassie." "It's Jed." "Is everything OK with Karsten?" "Mm-hm." "Aden spoke with him." "Calmed him down." "He'll be away for a few weeks." "So, are you all right?" "Yes." "Not local, then?" "Oof!" "Or are you." "Found myself a nice girl, didn't I?" "Now I've got two kids and one on the way." "I'm not going anywhere." "Not that I mind." "Air up here's...different." "I haven't got no history here." "Clean slate." "Yeah, breathe in that methane, girl." "Put hairs on your chest." "Come on, girl." "Whoop-whoop." "Come on, come on." "Come on." "Good girl." "Come on, Maggie, come on." "Come on." "Feed's up again." "I had a word with the delivery guy." " Mick?" " Mm-hm." "Company he works for... allows for a certain amount of wastage" "Seems not all of it is wasted." "He could do us a deal." "Twenty per cent of what we're paying now, cash." " How many bags?" " Up to 50." "What's that for?" "Been through t'mill but she's a good 'un." "Agh!" "Piece of shite." "Mind, you have to treat her right." "Where'd you get that?" "From your drawer." "I didn't think you'd mind." "Keep it." "It's nothing to me." "I was young." "He was all I knew." "Thank you." "We can't make these." "Even part time, Cooper is costing you, what?" "Five hundred a month?" "He's practically one of us." "You're right." "Forget it." "It's not my place." "Good lad, Ivan." "Good lad." "No." "This is a business." "That's how my dad ran it." "And his." "When we get ourselves sorted..." "Aye, no need for promises, lass." "." "Right?" "." "Right." "You know where I'll be if you need me." "Yes." "Thank you, Coop." "So, same again next month?" " Where are you off to now?" " Karsten's." " You do know he's away, don't you?" " Says otherwise here." "Well, try him if you like, it's your time," "Maybe I'll go and spend some of these drinking vouchers." "We could all go into the village." " Do something." " Such as?" "Pub." "Lovely." "I'm meeting Gemma." "Come with us." "It would be nice." "Arsehole." "I did it." "Half in there, Coop?" "Aye." "Go on." "Word has it Cassie Naylor let you go." "Whose word's that, then?" "How many years is it Naylor's had you working like a dog, uh?" "And now she's taken on that Aden fella." "What do you know about him?" "Why, what's it to thee?" "That'll be just the pint, love." "Suit yourself." "Au right?" "Why don't we grab a table?" "All right." "Dropped by Karsten's after all." "Did you?" "Flies." "All over." "Live like pigs." "Not anymore." "I don't care who you are, or why you did it... but £500 buys you 24 hours." "Enough time to do what you like with that slut and her girls." "She's no slut." "All right." "Will cash do you?" "Not here." "Out back." " Try." " Here we go." "I am." "They had to change the barrel." "It took forever." "I told you it'd be fun." "It was you, wasn't it?" "Got her to let Cooper go." "What's it to you?" "I live here." "Only because you have to." "Scared?" "Of you?" "Maybe you should be." " You're such a..." " Go on." "Prick!" "Agh!" "I'll tell her." "You run to your mummy." "I know why you're here." "Do you?" "A freak like you could never have a family of his own." "That's it." "I'll tell her everything." "Then we'll see what a big man you are." "Everything?" "Does that include the truth about Dean... ..and you?" "You're so fucked up." "You can't even begin to imagine." "But that's what they'd think about you, isn't it?" "Wouldn't say it." "Outwardly they'd be understanding." "Call you a victim." "But inside... you know what they'd be thinking." "That you asked for it." "And from your own daddy." "That you're dirty." "Filthy." "You see..." "I've spent a lot of time with them." "The "all I want to do is help you" brigade." "What they really want is to feed off your pain." "Even your mum will be thinking that." "That you wanted it." "Especially her." "And you too." "I know it all, Hannah." "Every..." "little... thing." "Look." "Where are you going?" " To Gemma's." "Let go!" " I know why you're doing this." "What?" "You don't see anything." "Even" "You never did." "Listen." "You know what's so good about your parents?" "They're never here." "I'm being serious." "They're so fucking normal." "You know he tried to kiss me." " Aden, she's a teenager." " It's dark, she belongs here." " Let her stay a couple of..." " Put Hannah on." "Who is this?" "Andy." "Cassie." "We had a bit of a row." " A nasty word or two." " She's not here." " She said that..." " Hang on." "Gemma!" "She doesn't know." "Between you and me, last time she was over here she couldn't stop talking about Frazer" "Frazer Goss?" "Thanks, An..." " Aden!" " Andy." "Aden." "Cass no doubt has mentioned me." "You don't have the Gosses' address, do you?" "Aden!" "Aden!" "He's old enough to be your fucking dad." " Jesus!" " What?" "He's here." " Where's Hannah?" " I don't know." "Where's my daughter?" "She's gone." "And she's not your daughter, you sick old fuck." "I bet you think you're in love." "Eh?" "You wee scumbag" "Here's a tip for you." "Man to man," "Real love..." "Oh!" "..hurts like hell." " This is Hannah." "Leave a message." " Hannah." "Call me." "Please." "Open up." "Open the fucking door." "Open the fucking door!" "What happened?" "What have you done?" "Where's Hannah?" "What the fuck have you done to my daughter?" "Listen to me." "Oh." "Get up." "Leave it." "Cass." "I was out of order." "Go." " I shouldn't have done what I done." " No, you shouldn't." "Don't even think about coming back here." "Or anywhere near me or my girls." "Come on, Cass." "Are you OK?" "Where are you?" "I'm at Gemma's." " He hurt Frazer." " I'm so sorry" "He's gone." "It's over" "Come home, Hannah." "Please." "Han?" "I'm here." "I'll come in the morning." "Mum." "Yes?" "Are you OK?" "I love you." "I better go." "Oh God." "God sent him." "Who?" "Aden." "God has nothing to do with this." " Give me that." " It's mine." "What happened to Daddy?" "He left." "I told you." "Coop." "There's no body." "There's nothing." "Coop, he's alive." "Get some sleep." "I'm not going anywhere." "In t'morning, we'll go up the tor, take a proper look." "I should have sold." "Moved away with the girls." "This is your home." "Coop." "Coop." "Won't fetch owt now." "Best call Jed Culligan." "No." "I'm done with this." "This place." "Karsten can have it." "We can't move on." "Not while we're here." "It's not a place keeps people apart, Cass." "It's people." "It's what's hidden." "Not said." "Wait here." "Karsten?" "Karsten." "Cass, what you doing?" "God." "Cass." "We need to talk." "Amy, get down now!" "Karsten left me with no choice." "You saw what he did to the calf." "I couldn't risk him hurting you or the girls." "Don't make me be like this!" "Stop your sniffling" "We love your mummy but she's done some very bad things, you know that." "Get the first-aid kit." "I said, get the first-aid kit." "Amy, duck, best go up to your room, eh?" "Your mum'll be fine." "I'm phoning..." "I'm gonna send t'police." "Let's see what they make of this." "Don't do that." "Maybe you're right." "First things first, eh?" "Oh!" "This has nothing to do with you." "Go to your room!" "Where's Amy?" "She's in her room." "She's fine." "You murdered Karsten." "Noah." " For you." " Bullshit!" "For our family." "Stop it!" "Who the fuck are you?" "Sit down." "What do you want with us?" "Why are you here?" "Sit." "Like I said, I'm a friend of Dean's." " Not from before." " No." "I met him a few months back." "On the rigs." "He went back?" "I don't think he felt too welcome here." "And he felt bad about what he'd done." "He needed to clear his head, and the rigs was all he knew." "Apart from this place, of course." "We bunked together." "Not much else for a man to do out there except talk." "And listen." "Dean was a talker" "A lot on his mind, weighing him down." "You could say I was his last Confessor," "Last?" "We've something in common." "You want something in this life, you take it for yourself." "You want to hold on to it, you do whatever it takes, whatever it takes." "Do you understand?" "Thing is, after he got it all off his chest..." "He was coming back?" "He got so worked up, he wasn't thinking straight." "He thought if he came back here and said how sorry he was, it would all be all right" "The thing is, if a leopard gets a knock on the head and thinks it's an antelope, it's still a leopard, isn't it, Cass?" "I'm not gonna lie to you." "I did it for myself." "It's true." "I never had anything." "He had everything." "And he pissed it away." "It's not right, is it?" "I did it for you too." "For the girls." "You're ill." " The things that your father did to you..." " What he did to me?" "You should have seen what he did to my mum." "You'd never credit... there'd be so much blood in a human being, not till you've seen it all." "He cut her open with a broken vodka bottle." "And as they dragged him away, all he kept on shouting was how he loved her." "Aden, listen to me." "I can get you help." "It's the only way." "You can't get away with this." "With what you've done." "The bodies." "They'll find them." "We've time enough." "For what?" "To be together." "Be a family." "Hannah!" "Run!" "Hannah." "Don't make me hurt your mother." "Hannah, no!" "No!" "You know I'll do it." " Get your hands off her!" " Shut the fuck up!" "He's going to kill us, isn't he?" "We're going to die." "For what you did." " What's she talking about?" " It's punishment." "God sent him." " He's God's avenging angel and he's..." " Stop it!" "This is nothing to do with God." " He sent Aden because of what you did." " Amy!" "He's just a man." "A bad man." "God doesn't hurt people." ""And the Lord sent pestilence upon Israel" ""and there died of the people from Dan to Beersheba, 70,000..."" "Oh, you're so fucking weird!" "What's she talking about?" "What did you do?" "What did you do to Dad?" "She buried him." "Up on the tor." " You saw?" " You killed him." "I am so sorry." "You killed Dad?" " I thought that..." " What?" "Aden knows things." "Things only Dad knew." "How?" "He knew him." "Your dad wasn't dead." "He went back to the rigs." "I should have stopped him." "Your father." "I didn't realise until it was too late." "I should have stopped him." "You could have told me." "I thought..." "I tried." "What did he do to you?" "He hurt your sister." "Listen, we'll be OK." "I promise." "We'll be OK." "We just have to stick together." "OK?" " Yeah." " Yeah." "Come here." "I love you both." "So much." "Sh." "What are you waiting on?" "Crack a smile." "It's not often we get quality family time" "Hannah." "How's everything at school?" "Huh?" "How's wee Frazer?" "Cassie." "Sweetness." "How about something from that Bible of yours?" ""Whoever sheds man's blood by man shall his blood be shed," ""for in the image of God..."" "Enough!" "Enough." "Hannah." "Go to your room." "Leave it." "Go, baby." "Take Hannah." "Please." "To the road." "Promise me." "Good girl." "Amy, no, no." "Bitch!" "No!" "Bastard!" "Amy, hide!" "Stop!" " Hannah?" " Amy, come back." "It's Jed." " What's going on?" " Aden's gone..." " That's Coop's car." " Get in." "Your mother's worried to death." "Hold up." " They took it in their heads to run away." " Hannah." "Get your sister, jump in my car." "Is there a problem?" "Nothing we can't sort out, I'm sure." "Hannah." "If you don't mind." "We found a body." "Feed truck driver, Mick," " Word is you were seen with him." " Is that right?" "That's right." "No!" "Mum!" "Hannah!" " He killed Jed." " On the road." "He slit his fucking throat." "Quick." "There's nobody else." "Just us." "Hannah, you stay here with Amy." " Where are you going?" " You stay here." "Cass!" "I've never had this!" "A home!" "Just places I existed." "I only did this..." "Shh, shim" "..these things... for you!" "For you!" "Cass!" "Shit!" "He's going in the house." "Amy, just stay here, OK?" "Mum!" "Mum!" "Agh!" "Get off, you bastard!" "Oh!" "I'll be a good husband." "A good father, I promise." "We can work this out." "I just need another chance, that's all." "Get off!" "Amy." "Run." "Go!" "Run, Amy." "To the slurry pit." "You can do it, girls." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on, Amy, come on." "Hurry." "Quick." "He's coming!" "Hey!" "Amy, now!" "Cassie!" "Cassie!" "Cassie!"
