01x02 - Episode 2

[bunniefuu]

The British Embassy were contacted

by officials in Thailand

earlier today.

A body's been identified,

believed to be your son, Rob.

No!

It was a terrible,

tragic accident, Rosie.

I'll never accept that.

I can't move on the way the way

that you want us to.

Please just give me some space.

Answer your bloody phone, Maddie.

It's a young guy who

we met at counselling. Jed.

Hello.

Nice to meet you.

Seems perfect.

Maybe that's the problem.

You're kind of in my space, Jed.

You lost your mother,

I lost my son.

I think we both have to be careful

not to get everything mixed up.

Jed

No mother loses a child

without major consequences.

Hi, Rosie, can you come home?

We need to talk.

It's about Jed.

What's this about?

Work have asked me

to go to Scotland for a few weeks,

but I-I'm worried,

that bloody g*ng still out there.

I can look after us.

But Jed's being turfed

out of his flat, Mum.

Jed could move in while I'm away.

It's perfect, you've already seen

how Jed's out with Yaz.

It makes so much sense, Mum.

Are you talking about Rob's room?

We get peace of mind,

Jed gets what he needs.

Rosie, it's your decision.

He's a good lad, he needs somewhere

to stay, I don't see the issue.

It's Rob's room.

We have to think about Maddie now.

It could be good for her to have him

around at the moment.

It's a bit much, living

with your boyfriend at that age.

She's barely 16.

I'd rather it was under this roof

where we can keep an eye on her.

They can still be together

without living together.

Just like us then.

No, we live apart

because you had an affair.

I'm, I'm sorry to cause trouble.

I'm not sure moving in

is the best idea right now.

I-I-I understand.

Please, Mum.

Are you still looking for work?

Yeah.

Right then, I have an idea.

So, I fed the front lawn,

cleared that fallen tree

and put some hanging baskets

up there

and the next thing I'll do

is the-the flower beds.

You've been busy.

I just wanna do a good job

for Mrs Douglas.

She's been good to me.

She has a very kind heart.

She's had a rough time.

Losing her son.

Well, no family

should go through that.

Have you known them long?

I married them.

Christened Rob, Maddie too.

I wish my priest growing up

was like you.

Mine was a tosser, bitter and angry.

I didn't know you were a Catholic?

Lapsed.

Hmm.

One of the old ladies died

last night.

Mrs Flynn.

90 she was.

Good innings.

It doesn't make it any less sad

though.

Your mum was brilliant,

had the whole thing under control

like proper in charge.

It's just-it's brought it

all back to me, I mean,

my nan dying and that,

it sounds stupid.

It's not stupid.

Death is sh*t.

It's just got me thinking

about everything.

Like it's so kind

of your mum to give me a job

and a roof over my head

but I don't feel I belong here.

You don't, Jed,

it's an old folks' home.

I think I should go back home,

up north.

I mean, we can still see each other.

But what about me? I need you.

I I'll talk to you later.

Jed, wait.

Come on then!

Yes!

Yes!

Jed?

What's up?

The old gardener never did all that.

What's that?

This?

Oh, it's a personnel file, it's

for you, actually, uh, just a few

forms to fill in, we need your P45

and a copy of your passport.

Oh, I-I don't have a passport.

Oh, well,

I'm sure HR can sort something.

Just bring in any ID you do have.

Thanks, Jed.

Is that it?

Is what it?

Is that all you called me over for?

Uh, yeah.

Have I done something wrong?

No, of course not.

It's just you're being

all professional like, cold.

Well, I am the boss.

I am going out with your daughter.

Kind of family now.

Keep up the good work.

And there was me thinking we were

back on track but we are, she is

It's like we've had the old

Maddie back again, haven't we?

Yeah, she got a boyfriend,

didn't you?

He's had such a positive

influence on her.

Is that what this is about, Maddie?

Something to do with your boyfriend?

Well, he we had an argument about

whether Jed, the, boyfriend,

should come and stay at our house.

But I gave him a job and somewhere

to stay at the care home instead.

Jed hates it at the care home.

He can't stand it there.

But he's been doing really well.

Well, he told me this morning

that he's leaving to go back home.

We need to talk,

a family conference.

I think everyone had their say

back at the school, except me.

I'm going to go to bed.

No, we're supposed to be

flying to Scotland tonight

and I'm not leaving

things like this.

Well?

Why didn't Jed say anything to me

if he was so upset?

He didn't wanna seem ungrateful,

Mum.

Well, what brought all this on?

That old lady who died at the

care home last night.

Mrs Flynn?

The whole thing reminded Jed of his

nan, she was the only family he had.

You made him stay somewhere that

brought back his worst memories.

sh*t, I'm sorry, I-I-I didn't think.

No, Mum, you didn't.

Jed is the only person

that's tried to help me

and now he needs our support

and we're not even giving it.

He's not family, Maddie.

There are limits.

Dad said it was fine and then you

said no for absolutely no reason.

Can you back me up here?

Um, Maddie.

You can be so f*cking selfish.

No wonder Rob went travelling.

No wonder Dad cheated on you.

Maddie!

And if you're not careful,

you're gonna lose me as well.

Hey, do not walk out!

I'll move back in tonight,

separate beds if you like

but Maddie needs stability.

Just go.

My flight's in three hours,

I'd have to leave right now.

Do you want me to get on a plane

with all this going on?

Abdicate all responsibility?

Well, shame you didn't think about

that when you were f*cking Wendy.

If Jed was to move in,

temporarily

could I trust you

to be sensible?

Course you could.

He'd have to sleep in Rob's room.

Rob's room? You sure?

Perhaps we all need to be brave,

move forward.

Guess what?

Mum said you can move in.

Oh, you know, right?

PHONE BUZZES

This better be good,

I'm in the middle of cleaning

for the first time in months.

Just a heads up,

Mrs Brook is complaining

that some of her jewellery is

missing, a pair of pearl earrings.

You do know that Mrs Brooke has

advanced Alzheimer's?

Well, her daughter's searched

high and low to no avail.

Oh.

Mum, Jed's here.

Uh, tell the daughter I'll call her

first thing Monday.

Hopefully they'll have

turned up by then.

Thanks, Tom.

Oh, bye.

Hello, is, uh,

Fr O'Reilly available please?

I'm, uh, inquiring about

a former parishioner of his.

Yes, he can absolutely call me back.

Thank you.

Uh, I've spruced the place up

a bit, uh, new bedding, pillows.

Jed, I-I wanted to apologise for

being, well, for being thoughtless.

An old people's home, your nan.

Oh, no.

Forget about it.

And-and for being a bit

too professional.

I can be a bit bossy when I'm

Covering.

Working.

When I'm working.

That felt different.

No, no.

Just, just hanging down. No.

GIGGLING AND LAUGHING

Oh.

Any chance of a bigger towel?

This is all I could find.

Uh, yeah, yeah, one-one sec.

Sorry to be a-a pain.

Oh, uh, don't be silly.

Thanks.

Jed, last night, you and Maddie,

I'd prefer it

if you slept in Rob's room.

You heard us, didn't you?

Uh, I'm not a prude,

it's just she's young

and I don't want there

to be any accidents.

Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.

The missing earrings,

you don't think Jed

I knew you were thinking

something like that.

Well, it's just

the timeline matches up.

He's not like that, Tom, honestly.

You're defensive of him.

Well, he doesn't have anyone

else to defend him.

I've seen the way he looks at you.

You must have seen it too?

When I first met him, I wanted

to mother him, I, I wanted him

and Maddie to heal each other.

And yes,

I have seen the way he looks at me.

I'd have to be blind to miss it.

But I like it, Tom.

I feel like someone

is actually seeing me

for the first time in years.

I say this to you as your friend,

unequivocally.

Get that boy out of your house now

before something terrible happens.

Tom.

Tom!

Jed?

Hey.

Are you busy?

No, just listening to some music.

Maddie's gone to her mate's.

Jed

I'm very sorry

but you can't stay here.

It's just not working out.

I knew you were gonna say that.

It's my fault, I, I

thought that once you moved in,

everything would be OK,

but I don't think it is.

You feel guilty.

Guilty for wanting me.

That's why you want me out.

Look, Jed,

you are an attractive young man,

there's no denying that,

but you're my daughter's boyfriend.

It's because of us, isn't it?

Us?

Our connection.

No, no, we don't

Look, it might feel like

we've got some kind of connection,

but the truth is

that I've been using you.

I've been using you to take

Rob's place and that's not fair.

It's not fair on anyone,

it's not fair on you.

So, where's all this come from then?

Look, I'm, I'm telling you this

because, because I respect you,

because I trust you.

And now you have to trust me

that living elsewhere would be best.

Don't stop.

Jed.

It's all right, you don't

have to feel guilty.

You haven't been happy in so long,

I can tell.

I'm still married, Jed.

Maddie told me

all about Luke's affair.

It's about time you had some fun.

There's a lot I like about you,

Rosie.

Stop it.

This was a big mistake.

I want you to pack your stuff

and leave.

But we've been together now,

I'm a part of you.

Hello? Jed?

Mum?

Oh, f*ck.

Lisa had a guitar lesson

so I'm home early.

I'll go.

No, I'll go.

And not a f*cking word.

Hello, darling.

You look weird.

Do I?

Yeah.

You ill?

Actually, I do have

a bit of a headache.

I said I'd nip to town

and get her some tablets.

All right.

Let me go get changed.

FR TOM: Just checking in to see

how things went with Jed.

Hope it went well.

How was the film?

Fine, thanks.

Maddie, are you all right?

Yup.

You didn't tell her, did you?

No.

She kept trying to snuggle up

and kiss me during the movie

and I didn't want to, not any more.

Well, why on Earth couldn't you

just be normal with her?

I know you feel bad for Maddie,

it is a big deal but she's young,

she'll be OK eventually.

What do you mean eventually?

We can keep it a secret

a while if you want.

But the sooner we tell her,

the better.

Maddie can never know about this.

I, I'm in love with you, Rosie,

I'm not ashamed.

Well, I am ashamed.

But it's happened now.

And I can't stop thinking about it.

All I want

and will ever want

is you.

DOORBELL RINGS

This is Yaz Burman.

A juvenile record

as long as her arm.

She gets kids to shift her

gear around.

Keeps her hands clean.

There's been whispers

that she's been involved

in a bigger drug outfit,

but so far, we've got no evidence.

Have you seen Yaz recently, Maddie?

Um, last week maybe.

What? Why didn't you tell me?

I wasn't sure whether it was her.

And what's this bigger drug outfit

you reckon this Yaz is involved in?

We can't discuss the details

of an ongoing investigation.

But surely

we have the right to know.

We advise you

keep your wits about you.

Lock the house up properly,

just be aware.

We'll look after her,

won't we, Rosalie?

Yeah, yeah, of course we will.

I'm taking the dog out for a walk.

I saw Bruno outside.

Thought it must be you.

Everything OK?

Rosie, what's wrong?

The worst has happened, hasn't it?

Oh, Rosalie, I warned you,

didn't I?

I warned you.

I went to ask him to leave

and then, and then

What are you gonna do?

I've bought him a single train

ticket back to his home town

and I've withdrawn some cash,

£1,000.

You're planning on bribing him?

I don't know what else to do.

And I won't lose my daughter

as well,

I won't lose our Maddie, I won't.

Swear to God, I won't.

Morning.

I don't really feel like that.

PHONE RINGING

Ah, yes,

thank you for calling back.

I think he's gone off me, Mum.

What makes you say that?

I think there's someone else.

Yes, it's about Jethro Cousins.

He's become involved with

a parish family of mine and

What if he's just using me?

Taking advantage of us, our home?

Well, then he'll have me

to deal with.

Are you sure about this?

Yes, thank you.

Hello, Jed, I see Rosalie's car's

not here, is she out?

Yeah, with Maddie.

I've been trying to get hold of her,

it's quite urgent actually.

If you could tell her to call me

as soon as, I'd be much obliged.

Is it about work?

Yes.

Yes, it is work.

Then why are you here?

Beg your pardon?

This is her home.

If it's work, why can't it wait?

A resident has lost a valuable

pair of earrings.

The family's making quite a fuss.

I mean, you ha, haven't happened

to see them around, have you?

Are you accusing me?

Of course not.

You're in Rosalie's life a lot,

aren't you?

At work, ringing her,

popping round whenever you want.

We're old friends.

Do you like her?

Now that Luke's out of the picture

you think you might just move on in?

Is that it?

I spoke to your grandmother's

priest today, your priest,

Father, uh, what's his name?

Can't remember.

O'Reilly.

Fr O'Reilly.

Lovely man.

Didn't seem bitter and angry to me.

We had a very interesting chat.

I think it's time you moved on,

don't you think?

Go whilst you're still free,

find new things to do,

new places to go.

All the best for the future then,

Jed.

What's wrong with

Grandma Fay anyhow?

Oh, just the usual moans and groans.

She'll appreciate you staying

with her for a couple of days.

Hello.

Hello, darling.

So, how long do I have to

pretend to be ill?

Just a day or two.

Has anything happened, Rosie?

I mean, shouldn't I be calling Luke?

Absolutely not.

Nothing's happened.

It's just I want to

persuade Jed to try

and find somewhere else to live,

maybe even go home.

And I can't have that conversation

with Maddie around.

Well, look, don't worry, I'll keep

her running around after me.

Thanks for this, Fay.

A train ticket?

A f*cking train ticket?

Sorry, Jed, but it's the only way.

This morning you got rid of Maddie

so we could spend time together.

Yeah, I sent her away

so we could have this conversation.

Right, we can, we can get you

a ticket, you can come with me.

No, Jed. Yes.

We can run away together.

Look, f*ck Maddie.

f*ck that priest that keeps

sticking his beak in.

Tom? Yeah.

He came here earlier accusing me

of stealing sh*t from the care home.

Well, did you?

Yeah, yeah, I stole some

f*cking earrings, so what?

You stole from an old woman?

Yeah, I needed the cash, didn't I?

Look, that was before

we had a future together.

I want you out of my house.

I trusted you, I defended you,

I let you into my home.

Only because you wanted to f*ck me.

Urgh!

Urgh!

Oh!

I'm sorry, Rosie,

I didn't mean to hurt you.

But you did hit me first.

PHONE RINGING

Hello?

Hiya.

Just calling to say hello,

see how you're all doing.

Luke, hi.

Rosie?

Hello?

Yeah, we're fine,

everything's fine.

How's Scotland?

Oh, yeah, fine.

Cold, rainy, obviously.

Oh, good.

Everything with work all right?

Yeah, fine.

Rosie?

Are you all right? You sound

Luke, I, I ju-

I just wanted to say

that Maddie's gone to stay

with your mum.

Oh, is she all right? Is

Look, Luke, can I call you back?

OK, well

Jed?

Jed?

Rosalie?

Jed.

Get him out your house, Mrs Douglas,

you have to get him out.

I want you to listen to me

very carefully,

I'm gonna tell you some

terrible things.

Try to imagine how little I care.

It'll cost you more than that

if you're one of them.

One of them?

You don't f*cking matter.

Rosie!
