MARY:
Catherine?

Yeah, especially her.

Are we ready for them?

MICHAEL:
Yeah.

CATHERINE: You're a shameful
embarrassment to the Force

a dirty little secret
from our prehistoric past

a living relic of everything
that was unacceptable.

Ah...

My little baby brother.

g*nsh*t

ANNA:
Thanks for the free cocktails.

Meet him somewhere public,
and if he asks you to go back to his, don't.

- D'you wanna come back to mine?
- Yeah.

I don't deserve to die.

CATHERINE:
We all had a role to play.

It's time that you take responsibility.

MARY:
It's Mary.

Mary, hi. Sorry. It's loud.

She's at Haydock.

GEORGIA:
Your wife's at the races today.

If you tell us what you know,
maybe we won't k*ll her.

- Shh.
- GEORGIA GRUNTS

SHE CRIES OUT

JACK:
Oi!

You look like your mum.

Hi Ant, three pints of lager.

Hey.

Can't see her anywhere.

JACK:
Mm. She'll be here.

Yeah. I've heard that before.

I'll wait for her to come back.

You go and look after your new friend there.

Alright.

Oi.

GIRL:
See you in a bit.

KEITH:
You OK?

You sounded...
Sounded a bit pissed off on the phone.

I just had some bad news. That's all.

- If I could tell you I would.
- Oh, right.

That kind of bad news.

You know that spa voucher that you bought.

KEITH:
Mm.

We never used it.

I could do with a salt scrub.

- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.

Work'll sort itself out and then we'll go.

Well...

why don't we just go now.

- Right now?
- KEITH: Yeah, right now.

Why not leave all the sh*t behind?

Throw caution to the wind,
like we used to do?

Maybe tomorrow.

- Look, I'm... I'm going to head back.
- CATHERINE: Oh.

OK.

I'll see you at home.

OK.

JACK:
Oi, oi.

- She about?
- No one's seen her.

- Since when?

I dunno.

You at a bit of a loose end, then?

Come on... Oi!

WOMAN:
Oh, Janine, thanks for coming, love.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

I wanted to thank you for coming.

Means a lot to me.

He could be a bastard, Sean...

but he was my bastard.

MICHAEL:
He loved the bones of you.

- I know he did.
- He never shut up about you and the kids.

Honest?

Cross my heart and hope to die.

WOMAN:
Will we... um?

Am I gonna be alright?

Yeah, don't worry.

He was a good man, Sean.

You'll be looked after.

WOMAN:
Thank you. God bless you.

So, what Rom-Com is it?

Uh, do you want to see 's cheerleaders?

Or d'you wanna see...

Sorry, is that a cricket bat?

BARTENDER:
Yea, I played in uni.

Who plays cricket at uni?

Cool people.

ANNA:
Referring to people as cool is

the direct opposite of cool, surely.

Right.

Um, what sort should I be playing then?

Um, well, I had a friend
who was into horse riding.

What, pissing about on a pony, was she?

No, she's dead.

BARTENDER:
That was in the Maldives...

taken last year.

I think we might go again.

Great. Can I come?

Uh, yeah, sure.

I'd just probably have to ask my...

Oh my god, I'm joking.

Can I come in?

MARY SIGHS
Is saying no an option?

What do you think?

Catherine let you go.

Looks like, eh?

Why?

MARY:
She got what she wanted.

As far as I can make out,
all she really wants is the Worths.

And I gave them to her.

Angela, anyway.

Not that I had much choice. Not really.

She's alright.

They both are. I saw 'em before I come here.

They lead a charmed life, the pair of 'em.

What about Michael Ryan.

How does he fit into all this?

Look, if you're even asking that question,
you already know the answer.

So Jack's telling me the truth?

MARY:
Well that's the thing about our Jack

he almost always does.

Then, why is he sticking around?
Why don't they all just disappear?

I don't think they could...

even if they wanted to.

Is it the bifta
that's making you talk in riddles?

This is about absolution.

It's about righting a wrong so great
that they will k*ll to right it.

He, therefore all of 'em,
are looking for atonement...

for some kind of peace.

Where's my manners?

They will still do everything in their power
to get what they want.

Jack and Angela need to be gone.
Nothing else.

No.

That's not enough.

You don't want them dead?

I don't just want them dead.

It's alright I don't expect you to get it.

- No, no...

LUNT:
There's things that don't make sense.

You can explain Michael Ryan, fine.

What about Jyotirangan Clarke?

I could have helped him, that's true.

But the thing about Joe is
that he's been a dead man walking for years.

At least now he's at peace.

He had his throat slashed wide open.

That doesn't look like peace to me.

Just what do you want to say?

- Tell me I'm wrong.
- Sorry?

Tell me I'm wrong...

that there isn't some logical explanation
for everything.

Jack's right, isn't he?

He's been telling me the truth
this entire time. Fu...

Whatever you choose to do,
do not trust Jack Worth.

You'll end up dead.

How can I believe you?

I don't need you to believe me

but I will tell you there will come a time
that you will know that I'm right.

Jack Worth will destroy you

like he's destroyed me.

As long as it takes.
Otherwise what's the f*cking point?

She never sh*t these two dead.

Granted, but she put me in this house

so all of this...

is for my family.

I mean, I don't think
she could say the same, right?

I mean, I'm surprised those two lived
as long as they did.

OK, so suppose I let you go,
what are you gonna do Jack?

Eh?

Well I doubt I'll live long enough to see it

but I'm gonna try and find
my wife and my daughter...

a life they deserve.
Yeah.

Mind if I give you a bit of advice,
Rhymes With?

Go to Canada.

I got some great mates in Canada.

You know, word of advice,
