Come here, love.

You're all right.

TV: I'm going to give him
a real welcome home supper.


I hope there'll be enough to
go around.


If that's the basin you're
going to use, I doubt it.


There's only him and Uncle
to eat it. I'm on a diet.


Don't tell me you're
slimming again.


No, I'm not slimming, I just want to
keep as I am, that's all.


You're not the girl you...

WOMAN, THROUGH WALKIE-TALKIE:
The temperature in the east -

There may be a thund...


VOICE LOST TO STATIC

Hello?

STATIC CONTINUES

- Hi, dad.
- Hello, mate.

Thanks for meeting me.

Ah, you're all right. It's good
to get out of the office.

Yeah. Were they all right
about it?

Yeah. I told 'em your nan was on
the way out.

Nice.
HE CHUCKLES

You fancy a drink, then?

Yeah, but I think it's closed.

Ah, to your average punter, yes.

But we are not your average punters,
are we?

John.
HE RATTLES FENCE

John.

Do you know what time it is?

No, I don't. And I'm trying very
hard not to look

at that clock on your wall.
You should have it removed.

- What you having?
- Whatever you're having.

Go on, son. Give us
two large Powers,

a bit of water and a pack of
the smelliest, onion-y, whatever,

crisps you've got.

It's so the boss don't smell
the whisky.

Ah, clever.

Yeah. James Bond does
the same thing.

Good to see you, son.

Yeah?

Yeah, course it is.

I keep meaning to, you know,
pop round,

get on the phone but, you know,
f*cking...time.

Yeah, no. I know.

Heard about your mother's brother.

Oh, yeah. Mad.

Ah, not really.

- No?
- I'm surprised it took him so long.

Used to drive me up
the wall, that bloke.

Before he went AWOL, you know.

Every two minutes, it was,
"Oh, Steve's done this,"

"Steve's not happy,"
"Steve's got to come and stay."

And I'm like, "Hold on,
what've I married into?

- The f*cking Munsters?"
- AARON SNIGGERS

His boy's at yours now, in't he?

Erm... Danny. Yeah.

How's that? Off his head
like his old man?

Yeah, yeah. Well, it's all just,
"Danny this, Danny that," you know?

Yeah. Good luck.

Actually, Dad, I meant to ask -

maybe I could... come to yours
for a bit.

To stay.

What do you think?

Yeah.

- Yeah?
- Yeah, I mean, I...

I'd love it.

Erm...

It's just, it's not just me,
you know.

There's Claire and the kids,

and they've got their routine.

Yeah.

I mean, you know what
Claire can be like -

Mrs f*ckin' Particular.

Yeah, I know.

I mean, I'm saving you from her,
if I'm honest.

THEY CHUCKLE

Yeah. Thanks.

Right, well, erm...

I should get back.

OK.

You finished with that?

Mm.

HE BREATHES ON AARON
How's that?

Great.

Good lad. Come on.

Yo, yo.

Excited about Siobhan's?

Here, listen, I've told your mum
that I'm a bit too busy.

Got a load of work just come in,
do you know what I mean?

I could tell her I need a hand,
if you want.

No, thanks.

I mean, we won't be doing
any work and that,

just sitting around drinking beer.

I said I'm, I... I f*cking don't
want to. All right?

I just wanna talk to someone.

I'm so lonely.

Hello?

FRONT DOOR CLOSES

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Who you talking to?

I heard someone.

On the walkie-talkie.

You can't have done.

But... I did.

How? There isn't anyone, is there?

Is there? They're broken.
Picking up old radio waves,

you know, buzzing about. Here...

They're broken. Give it 'ere.

Yeah, thought they were on their
way out.

I'll get rid.

You're too old for these anyway,
now, mate.

TOILET FLUSHES

- Are we still friends?

You joking? You f*cked
everything up.

Me? He k*lled me mum.

Just shut up about your stupid
f*cked-up life.

He made a mistake
years and years ago.

Your dad lied to you
and then locked you up.

Don't.

And everyone's got to
say nice things about him

just in case you get upset.

Your dad's a c**t. You just don't
know it yet.

TV PLAYS QUIETLY

KNOCK ON DOOR

Coming.

Oh, you all right there, mate?

I need to speak to Danny.

What about?

He's been working for me.

Oh, right. Come on.

Just take a seat and, erm,
I'll go and give him a shout.

What was the name again, mate?

Erm, Mark. Mark Denscome.

I'm going to go home.

Already? Please, just stay for
a bit longer.

Aaron. Glass. Use a glass.

Who gives a f*ck? Seriously,
who actually cares?

Aaron. What is wrong with you?

There's nowt wrong with me.

Stop saying there's something wrong
with me.

- Sorry.
- Sue ?

Got a bloke inside,
says he wants to talk to Danny.

Says his name's Mark Denscome.

I'm sorry.

I don't know the f*ck they
were thinking.

Danny, why did you do that?

I'd...

I'd like to talk to Danny alone.

I... I think, maybe it's best if we
all just stay here.

No.

It's OK.

Right, well...

What is it that you want from me?

I need you...

..to tell me what you want from me.

I don't know any more.

Then why did you come?

To the farm?

Why did you tell her?

I wanted to hurt you.

It was an accident, Danny.

I didn't mean to do it.

Of course I didn't mean to do it.

What happened?

I don't know. Erm...

It was...

It was so sudden.

I was going home...

and, in a moment,

her face, it was...it was there...

so close to mine.

And I stopped the car, I got out.

She was lying on the road.

And I...

I knew...

that she was gone.

Why did you run away?

HE SIGHS

It's like I couldn't accept
that it had happened.

That it was me that had really
done it.

I'm not who you think I am.

It's enough.

Please, no more.

PAUL: While we thought you
were working?

AARON: We were working.

And that's where you've been
every day?

Yeah.

SUE: I just don't understand.
What were you thinking?

What, did you wanna go?

- No, course I didn't want to go.
- So, why?

Because he...he kept on asking
and he was so desperate to, so...

To do what?

I don't know, Mum.

He kept on saying that Mark were
a monster...

and that he knew what to do
with monsters.

All right.

All right, what?

Well, he can't stay here, can he?

Of course he can.

Look, we've got to give it a go.

We can make it work.
Can't we, love?

Aaron. What do you think?

I think he's f*cking mad, and
I don't want him here any more.

PAUL SIGHS

Oh! Hello, mate.

I have to go away now, don't I?
