00:57Satsang with Mooji

01:01Don't be offended if I make myself scarce on Sunday will you?

01:04You're a free agent Kitty I just don't want you to feel you have to go out

01:10It's just um

01:14I've got so much shit to deal with right now and it just seems a bit pathetic that all I'm

01:19doing about it

01:20is singing some old 70s pop song with a bunch of very nice, well you anyway, people who I've never

01:29even met before.

01:30Well you're going down to talk to Jess this morning aren't you about work?

01:34Then you'll have some money at least.

01:37And we're not just singing some old 70s pop song are we?

01:42I don't know if you can understand this but you know I told you I've been low recently.

01:49Well all this, the possibility of all this, it's just given me something to really think about.

01:59I'm probably not somebody you should put too much faith in.

02:02Some of the most talented people aren't always the most reliable.

02:07Yeah but you don't know me.

02:11You know oddly, I feel as if I do.

02:19I need to find somewhere else to live.

02:27Okay.

02:28Okay.

02:32Are you sure you're alright?

02:34Yeah.

02:36Just...

02:38Shit, swirling.

02:40Well go down and see Jess.

02:41Do you know where the bus stop is?

02:43I'll find it.

02:49Look after yourself.

02:52Sure.

05:25I could drink a case of you, darling, and I would still be

05:40on my feet

05:44I'd still be on my feet

06:06I'd still be on my feet

06:15Oh, yeah, I think they might be interested in your little habit

06:19Look at that

06:20Jesus, you're not going to get much trade around here, love

06:22This is at the owner's house

06:24It's in his driveway, up Stead Lane, up Worley, 20 to 5, Tuesday afternoon

06:27And Mr Gavin Peachy

06:29And he happens to be at home with his wife

06:31And it's him that's taken this footage

06:32He says he doesn't know this woman from Adam

06:34His wife doesn't know her

06:35He thinks it's a case of mistaken identity

06:37And that this is some sort of vendetta aimed at someone else

06:40So, does anyone recognise her?

06:43Hey, shrimp, isn't that your missus?

06:44Off her tits and making an arse of us

06:45Aw, come on

06:47She looks like a woman scorned to me

06:48How come we stopped filming her when she asks about his habits?

06:51Who knows?

06:52Well, maybe he knows her better than he's letting on

06:54Yeah, well, we'll get her side of pantomime when we cop her, won't we?

06:56So, we need an appeal on social media

06:58Along with all the other wanted

07:00See if anybody can help identify a Mr Rudenko

07:04Perhaps you could do that for me

07:05Oh, Jesus

07:06Doesn't she fit description of that woman at the supermarket the other day?

07:09Red hair, leopard print coat

07:11Me sure, that was you and Ollie

07:16No, she was a different build

07:18Younger

07:19All right

07:20That's everything, ladies and gentlemen, off you pop

07:25Hi, Selina, is he in?

07:34Holly, go through, he's expecting you

07:36Thanks

07:37All right, governor

07:39Holly, hello

07:41I just popped in before I hang up my bits and pieces

07:43To let you know that misogyny is alive and well in your division

07:45Right now, as we speak, alive and kicking

07:48Just like in the 90s

07:49Yay!

07:51Do you want some tea?

07:52Tea?

07:52No, I just want to know what you're going to do

07:54About the insidious toxic male culture

07:55That flourishes under your aegis

07:59How's retirement?

08:00So, two days ago, downstairs, here

08:03One colleague comes up behind another colleague

08:05Sat at his desk

08:06And grabbed hold of his dick

08:08Seriously

08:09And went

08:10Ding ding

08:11Seriously, he's sitting at his desk doing the callbacks

08:13Next thing he knows

08:14This other fellow's fumbling around for his cock

08:16And

08:17Ding ding

08:18Are you winding me up?

08:20No

08:21Has he put in a complaint?

08:23What, and get a reputation for being a wuss

08:25For not taking a joke?

08:26Course not

08:26He doesn't want his colleagues not turning up in an emergency, does he?

08:30Which we all know happens

08:31To those who snitch

08:32Well, how did he react?

08:34Well, he didn't

08:35First off, he's on the phone

08:37Being polite to a victim of crime

08:39And then in the moment

08:40He was like

08:43Did that just happen?

08:44I mean, out there on the street

08:46Some nutter tries to stop like that

08:47You're going to deck him, aren't you?

08:48You're going to rip the spleen out for him

08:50But in the office

08:51You don't expect it

08:52Good God

08:53It's repugnant

08:55Who'd do that?

08:57What's his name?

08:58Alec Rudenko

08:59Rudenko

09:01Okay, well, I'm afraid to say

09:02I think I'd have lamped him one

09:03Had it have been me

09:04Yeah

09:05And he's a big fella

09:06It did cross this colleague's mind

09:08To lamp him one

09:09But he'd have denied it, obviously

09:10His word against the other fellas

09:12And then the other fella

09:12Would have been the one in bother

09:13No evidence of any

09:16Ding ding

09:17On the one hand

09:18But plenty of evidence

09:19Of a fractured jaw on the other

09:21So all these things

09:22Went through his mind

09:23And in the heat of the moment

09:24Yeah, he just

09:26Froze

09:26Well, we can't have that

09:31So

09:34Sorry

09:34I thought you said misogyny

09:36So

09:36Is this fella

09:38What, gay or

09:39I did

09:42You're right

09:43I did say misogyny

09:45Damn, I'm sorry

09:47I misremembered

09:49It wasn't this bloke's dicky grab

09:51That's right

09:51It was this woman's tits

09:52Yeah

09:53Beep beep

09:53Not

09:54Ding ding

09:57Oh

09:59Okay

10:01Yeah

10:01Not so shocked after all

10:03Only a woman

10:04Par for the course

10:05You can brush it off now

10:07Can you

10:07Sweep it under the carpet

10:08She needs to put in a complaint

10:10Yeah, she won't

10:11For the same reason outlined earlier

10:12Right

10:13Well, Holly

10:13The truth is

10:14You don't need to cross his name out

10:16It did happen

10:17And it was Redenko

10:18If I challenged every officer

10:19That I complained

10:20Of inappropriate conduct

10:21Leveled against him

10:22I wouldn't have anyone

10:23Left out there

10:23Doing the job

10:25I wonder why

10:26You reacted so differently

10:27When you thought it was a fella

10:28That had been assaulted

10:30Don't you find that

10:31Curious yourself?

10:39How's the boys?

10:40How dare anyone

10:40Touch a man like that

10:41In such an intimate place

10:43So demeaning

10:44So embarrassing

10:45So humiliating

10:46So fucking weird

10:48But when a man does it

10:49To a woman

10:50Meh

10:51Cos, well

10:53It's natural

10:53Good looking woman

10:55Who wouldn't want to squeeze at it

10:56So I might have a crack at it myself

10:58Carl says that you'd taken up

11:00Playing bass guitar

11:02He did it to humiliate her

11:03He did it because he's bigger than she is

11:05And because he knows

11:06She can do fuck all about it

11:07Without repercussions

11:08And he thinks that's funny

11:09He thinks it's funny

11:09To make people feel small

11:11And silly

11:12And helpless

11:14And a bit grubby

11:15Because he's a deeply unpleasant

11:16Human being

11:17Who takes pleasure from it

11:18And there shouldn't be room

11:19For people like that

11:20In the service

11:21Oh, it was Nancy

11:22Oh, Mum

11:23Yes

11:23So this same officer

11:25Alec Rudenka

11:26And I really would urge you

11:27Not to cross it out

11:28In it 40 quid

11:29Out of her purse

11:30Your ex-mother-in-law

11:31He nicked 40 quid

11:33Out of her purse

11:33How?

11:34When?

11:35You don't need to worry about that

11:36I'm going to deal with that myself

11:37You just need to worry about this other thing

11:39Which was just as

11:42Humiliating

11:42And chilling

11:43And compromising

11:44And disgusting

11:45For the officer involved

11:46As if she'd been a man

11:47Having his wire pulled

11:48Do you hear what you're saying?

11:49Holly

11:49I know there are problems

11:50And I know

11:51Despite efforts

11:52It doesn't always look like

11:53Things are getting any better

11:54Tony

11:55They're getting worse

11:55I can't believe

11:56We still have these conversations

11:57But the truth is

11:59It's getting worse

12:00Do you want the official response

12:01Or the truth?

12:03Guess?

12:03There's nothing you don't know

12:05We are dangerously understaffed

12:08It's deplorable

12:09It's miserable

12:10But the truth is

12:11It's a tough job

12:12And sometimes it's a dirty job

12:14And not unlike the church

12:15It does have the unfortunate propensity

12:18Now and again

12:19To be fatally attractive

12:20To the wrong sort

12:21And with few resources

12:22Vetting the people

12:23Coming into the job

12:24Yes

12:24It's a problem

12:25That's been getting worse

12:26And not better

12:27Now

12:28I'm one of the good guys

12:29And I really do do what I can

12:31When I can, Holly

12:32But it frightens me

12:33Who we put out there

12:34On the street sometimes

12:35So I personally

12:36Cannot wait

12:37To hang my lanyard up

12:38And for this

12:39To be someone else's problem

12:48I'll ask

12:49Come on to have a word

12:49With this fella

12:50Alright?

12:54No, he wants sacking

13:02How's the online dating going?

13:04Have you met any more weirdos?

13:17They're not all weirdos

13:22They're not all weirdos

13:24Feckless non-interested

13:25So it's just

13:26I'm shagging

13:29Holly

13:30Bloody hell

13:31Could you not stay away

13:33Who was recycling so shit?

13:35How's your mum?

13:36Hiya

13:38Rudy

13:38My favourite human being

13:40Oh, am I?

13:41Yeah

13:42She's fine, thanks

13:43She'd like that money back though

13:45What money?

13:47That money you swiped out of her purse

13:53I swiped any money out of anybody's purse

13:56I went down the railway station

13:59This morning

14:00And he and my mate Hazan

14:02The station master

14:04Had a quick jump backwards

14:05Through yesterday's CCTV

14:06In that funny little room at the back

14:08From the car park

14:09Not the platform

14:10We all know that's bust

14:11And, er

14:13Yeah

14:14There you are

14:16Helping yourself

14:19CCTV in car park is bust

14:21It's all bust

14:22It has been for decades

14:23Yeah, they fixed it

14:25Last Monday

14:26No, they didn't

14:29You banter right, sweetie

14:31You're there in black and white

14:33With your pants round your ankles

14:34And your hand in the till

14:36Now, tell you what

14:37You give it back to me right now

14:39And the matter will end

14:40Okay

14:41And it'll never get mentioned again

14:44On the other hand

14:47If you're gonna play silly bastards

14:49I'll be off upstairs

14:50And I'll push the thing

14:51Just as far as it'll go

14:53And I've got nothing to lose now, have I?

14:56I'm out of here

15:17I didn't make it

15:18I'm giving you this to shut you up

15:21All of it

15:22That was all of it

15:27Oh, as if I'd do anything like that

15:30As if

15:37Rudy

15:37I lied

15:39That CCTV is still bust

15:42But I know you

15:46Don't think I do

15:47And the problem is

15:55I don't know if I'm even eligible anymore

15:56To enter the contest

15:58Now, the little ones aren't even living here

16:01Yeah, but you're still their granny though, aren't you though

16:03So they probably want all the entries they can get

16:05Oh, no, it's been really popular

16:07Yeah, loads of people are signed up

16:08They don't need us

16:10Do you want to see me pay 45?

16:12Yeah, I can do

16:13You see, this is the thing

16:15They put information on the notice board in the foyer at school

16:18And if I'm not popping in every day

16:19I've no way of seeing it, have I?

16:21I mean, you know, they might change the date

16:23Or cancel it

16:24I've got no way of knowing

16:25No, yeah

16:29I shouldn't let it bother me

16:30I should just carry on regardless like everyone else

16:33Not give a monkey's no-one else does

16:36Do you not know if she was gay then?

16:38She's not gay

16:39She's no more gay than you and me

16:41Chick, you might be in denial

16:44That's Saturday, love

16:46Have you worked behind a bar before?

16:48So, I was in Barcelona for five years

16:50I mean, like

16:51In my 20s

16:52I worked in a couple of bars then

16:53Five years?

16:56Habalas Aspenal?

16:56See you in Poco

17:01So, who was your last employer over here?

17:02So, I worked in this nail bar in Clack Eaton for a bit

17:05But it went up and I don't know where the woman went

17:07I had a phone number for her

17:09But last time I tried ringing it, it didn't work

17:10And I always thought it was a bit dodgy

17:12I did wonder if it was a money laundering outfit for a boyfriend

17:14I mean, I say boyfriend, I'm never sure what he was

17:16Right, and before that?

17:17So, the thing is, I've not actually been working

17:18Because I didn't need to

17:20Because Gavin took care of everything

17:21And I thought that's how it was going to be

17:22So, you know

17:23Right, what about a character reference?

17:25Erm

17:28Just trying to think

17:30Does Beth know you've been in prison?

17:35Holly told me

17:38Twice, apparently

17:40That was a long time ago

17:45Do you want me to leave?

17:46No

17:47I promised Beth I'd give you a trial run

17:49And I will

17:49Now, I've had ex-cons in here before

17:51And I'm all for giving people a fair chance

17:53But I'm not a soft touch, OK?

17:56Does she know

17:58Beth?

17:59No

18:02I will tell her if you want me to

18:05I'm going to leave that with you, love

18:07Right, let's get your tax code sorted

18:09Are you at this weekend?

18:11I can do Saturday, tomorrow

18:12But this Sunday

18:16I've just got this thing at lunchtime

18:17But normally I can do Sundays

18:18Right, £12.50 an hour plus tips

18:20How does that sound?

18:25Good

18:27Thank you

18:48Good

19:29Have you been scrapping?

19:34How since?

19:35Yeah. Good.

19:39So what are you after?

19:40Two ounces.

19:42Okay, well, I ain't got that much on me.

19:44It's in a car.

19:45Where are you going to sell it?

19:48Does it matter?

19:49No.

19:49Just, uh, be careful.

19:52What, please?

19:53No, you silly bitch.

19:55All the dealers.

19:58Don't fancy a given left back of it's hot.

20:01It's what's up and done to you.

20:02Yeah, can do.

20:08You look nice.

20:10Shut up.

20:10With your fucking chair.

20:12I hope you've got enough lolly on you.

20:14You still owe me, you bastard.

20:23You can drop me off here.

20:25What?

20:25Drop me off.

20:26Drop me here.

20:27Here?

20:28Yeah.

20:32I was in the middle of fuckbook nowhere, man.

20:34It's fine.

20:35No, I can't leave you here.

20:36Listen, SpongeBob, there's something else you can do for me.

20:38What?

20:39I want to know where my dad is.

20:43I cannot get involved with your dad.

20:45I'm not asking you to get involved.

20:48Just ask around and see if anyone knows how I can get hold of him.

20:52Yeah, but, I mean, I don't know who.

20:56But, yeah, I can put out a few fearers.

20:59Thanks.

21:02Kitty.

21:04You're going to get mugged and raped and murdered up here.

21:08Who by?

21:10By whom?

21:11Nervous for you.

21:12Less.

21:13On your head.

21:16Mind how you go.

21:19Oh, my God.

21:56You could probably write a song about most kids though, couldn't you?

21:59Well, I could about Tom.

22:03Well, I think he must be a saint for adopting someone else's unwanted, Joey.

22:07You don't know if he was unwanted.

22:09Sometimes people just cut calls.

22:10I think his mum was very young, you know.

22:14Tragically, too young.

22:44I have to lose the pain.

22:49It's easy to remember when I came.

22:54Let me move.

22:56Cause it feels like I've been, I've been here before.

23:03You're not my savior, but I still don't go.

23:10Feels like something that I've done before.

23:21I just got it.

23:26I'm not my savior, but I can't она.

23:30I'm not my savior.

23:33I trust me, I'mなく.

23:38Maybe that's all you want.

23:40I'll miss my sanity.

23:41I'm Max Abiquifer.

23:50Oh, my God.

24:19Oh, my God.

24:45Oh, my God.

25:33Oh, my God.

25:47Oh, has it been raining?

25:49Is Beth in?

25:50No, she's at work.

25:52And you are?

25:54I'm standing here telling you that she's at work.

25:58I'm Margaret and Michael.

26:00We live at Lower Croft Inn just down there.

26:02We're neighbours.

26:03And we just saw you limping down Beth's driveway and we were just concerned.

26:08Oh, I fell over coming over that stile up there, you know, coming down from those massive rocks.

26:12Oh, yes, I know the one.

26:14It needs mending.

26:15I have spoken to the farmer about it.

26:17And does Beth know you're here?

26:18Where?

26:20Here, in her house.

26:24No.

26:29I've broken in.

26:31Someone can steal our old copies of the Times, literary supplements she leaves piled up everywhere.

26:37So, you're saying you're a friend of hers?

26:38Is that a problem?

26:41You smell of alcohol.

26:42Shall I tell you what you smell of?

26:44Does Beth know you're here?

26:45Because I'm not sure that she does.

26:47Ring her.

26:49How do you know Beth?

26:51When you say I'm a rock band.

26:52Beth isn't in a rock band.

26:53Is she?

26:54What the fuck?

26:56Beth isn't in a rock band?

26:57Says who?

26:58I haven't heard anything about Beth being in a rock band.

27:00Oh, OK.

27:01Well, she mustn't be in a rock band if you don't know anything about it yet.

27:04Because nothing exists unless you're in a rock band.

27:06Is that right?

27:08Oh, my God.

27:09Are you God?

27:11Who knew that God wore a cagoule in stupid little glasses?

27:16Is there somebody else in there besides you?

27:18You tell me, pal, you're all C and I.

27:21Is she really in a rock band?

27:24I think we should call the police.

27:25I don't think they can arrest people for being a rock band.

27:27I think you might be on a sticky wicket, though.

27:29Why don't you try Beth again first?

27:31She'll be teaching.

27:31What time is it?

27:33She finishes at three.

27:35You try them.

27:36Would you like a cup of tea, lady?

27:38Why are you waiting?

27:39I can put the kettle on.

27:40It's no trouble.

27:41You'll have to stand out here and drizzle,

27:43because I find you offensive.

27:45No, no, I'm fine, honestly.

27:47Seriously, you're all wet, love.

27:48This misfit can dissolve.

27:52No, honestly, I'm fine.

27:54We just, you know, we just look out for each other round here,

27:57because it's very remote.

27:59I say what.

28:01Well, if you're so bigly bothered about Beth's interests

28:05and you're such a massive, great know-all,

28:07then you would know that she's been very low lately.

28:10Well, did you know that?

28:11Has she?

28:12Sorry, love, I'm talking to this fella now.

28:14Yeah, she's been...

28:16Well, how well do you know her?

28:18We've been neighbours for 20 years.

28:21And I do know, since Martin left,

28:23she's been on her own.

28:26And then Tom.

28:28What about Tom?

28:30Oh, well, you know,

28:31it's always been a bit of a handful,

28:33one way or another.

28:35Have you met him?

28:36No.

28:37He's coming for his dinner on Sunday.

28:38I'm going to meet him then.

28:39Oh, well, that's nice that he's coming over.

28:43Nice for Beth.

28:43I'm sorry to hear she's been through.

28:45How is he a handful?

28:46Well, when he was younger.

28:48I mean, he's a charming lad in many ways,

28:52don't misunderstand me,

28:53but, you know, a few incidents.

28:59But I think he's very different now

29:01and, of course, he's married now to...

29:03Oh!

29:04What's she called, his wife?

29:07Er, oh, Fern.

29:10Fern.

29:11That's right.

29:14And what was your name?

29:16I'll text Beth,

29:17tell her to ring you as soon as she can, all right?

29:20Yeah, why don't you do that?

29:23Is that her, then?

29:24Oh, yes, bye.

29:26Bye, bye-bye.

29:29It's Kitty, by the way.

29:32Kitty.

29:33Bye-bye.

29:36Yeah, don't you forget it.

29:57Yeah, but you don't know me.

29:59You know, oddly,

30:01I feel as if I do.

30:10I feel as if I do.

30:28It's a clueless without me.

30:33What are you writing?

30:34A song.

30:35Well, bits for a song.

30:37Ingredients for a song, you know.

30:39Slapping it all down there,

30:40throwing it in the trolley.

30:42Is it an angry song?

30:43You look angry.

30:44It's about Chloe.

30:46All the heartache and misery

30:48and one damn thing after another

30:49right from when she was six,

30:52five,

30:53four.

30:53And now this.

30:55Yeah, now that can happen.

30:55Fucking Inez.

30:56You couldn't make it up.

30:58Inez!

30:59I think that bitch was sent to the planet

31:01for one thing and one thing only

31:02to torment me.

31:04You've been drinking?

31:05Yeah.

31:05I've had a beer.

31:06That's a short route to chaos.

31:08Don't fucking lecture me, Jerry.

31:09I'm really not in the mood for it.

31:10No, I'm just saying.

31:11It's Friday night.

31:12You're going to be busy.

31:13Someone might kick off.

31:13You need to be able to handle it.

31:15I don't need advice from the fellow

31:16who delivers the beer, all right?

31:23You got a plastic glass?

31:28Sure.

31:34See you next week.

31:43Bye.

31:46Where's he off?

31:48No idea.

31:50Come on, look lively.

31:51Yeah, um, thing is, um...

31:52I got this text earlier off Chloe

31:55asking me and Auntie Mary

31:56if we'd like to go round to her and Inez

31:58for tea on Sunday.

31:59Well, no, you don't tell her.

32:02Unless you do want to,

32:03in which case you knock yourself out.

32:04I don't want to.

32:05I just...

32:07Don't you think for the baby's sake

32:08it'd be good to have some contact?

32:10She made a choice.

32:11And she knew what the consequences

32:13would be when she made it,

32:14which is why she was so bloody secretive

32:15about it all, right?

32:18Have you replied?

32:20No, I wouldn't go without talking to you.

32:22I was just...

32:24What?

32:24It was a long time ago

32:26what happened with Inez

32:27and it wasn't...

32:29You know it wasn't her fault.

32:30What?

32:31Wasn't her fault?

32:33Telling the whole of Hebden Bridge

32:34that your dad was having it off behind me back

32:35with anyone and everyone?

32:37Humiliating me in front of all them fucking sundry.

32:39I think you'll find it was her fault.

32:41For your own sake,

32:42can't you just...

32:43Just let go?

32:45I bet you've got just as many punters in here tonight

32:47as she's got in over there.

32:49More, probably.

32:49Whose side are you on?

32:52Fuck this.

32:53What are you doing?

32:54Where are you going?

32:54I'm going to play with drums.

32:59Oh, my God.

33:00Oh, my God.

33:01It's fine.

33:02You're fine.

33:02This is nothing.

33:03Wait till you're fully dilated.

33:05What?

33:05The thing is, is,

33:06baby's heads are big.

33:07Bigger than the average vagina.

33:09Bigger than 79% of women's vaginas.

33:11It's a design flaw.

33:12No, but that's...

33:15No one told me it'd be like this.

33:16Yes, but if we told everybody everything,

33:18no one would get pregnant, would they?

33:20Then where would we be?

33:21Better off, probably,

33:22as the world boils and drowns.

33:25Come and have a look down the business then, Daddy,

33:26before the fun really starts.

33:28I'm good, thanks.

33:29Oh, my God.

33:30Fucking hell.

33:31Jesus Christ.

33:31That's it.

33:32Keep breathing.

33:34Oh, and you've got a little haemorrhoid

33:35popped out down there as well.

33:36A what?

33:37It's very common.

33:38Haemorrhoids, childbirth,

33:39they go hand in hand.

33:40You mean I've got piles?

33:42Like his dad?

33:43I'll pop it back up there for you later.

33:45I can give you that little injection

33:46for the misery.

33:47Would you like that?

33:48Yes, yes, yes.

33:49OK.

33:51Oh, my God.

33:51I'm going to be ripped to sunder.

33:53I'm going to be split in two.

33:54Jesus.

33:55I'm being ransacked and laid waste.

33:57This is crazy.

33:58I can't relay eggs.

34:00I mean, I bet that's painful enough,

34:01but this is medieval.

34:03I've not worked out something else before now.

34:05Can you imagine the legions of women

34:07doing this in times of yore

34:08without pain control?

34:09Can you imagine doing this in the Blitz?

34:11Bombs exploding all around you.

34:13Buildings crashing to the ground

34:14and you're doing this.

34:15How have we got onto the Blitz?

34:17It's the gas and air.

34:18They get giddy.

34:20You fucking breathe.

34:22What are you writing?

34:23I thought you were getting me an injection.

34:24I am.

34:25Just got to go and sign it out of the cupboard.

34:26Two ticks.

34:27You're in charge.

34:28Will you get out

34:30when my brain comes in the picture?

34:34Does it really not bother you

34:36that I'm like 324 years older than you?

34:39It's just a number.

34:41Look, I wouldn't have come

34:42and met you three times, would I?

34:44If it bothered me.

34:46Yeah, but...

34:47It's like...

34:49your vibe.

34:51It's not like a woman in her 50s.

34:53And anyway, I, er...

34:56I like people with experience.

35:02My fucking sister.

35:05Hang on.

35:06How may I help you?

35:08What rhymes with haemorrhoids?

35:27Er...

35:27Er, why?

35:29I'm writing a song

35:30about all the garbage women trot out

35:32when they're popping one out.

35:33I've got a particularly noisy one in at the moment

35:35and it's gold dust.

35:36Er, well, have you got a, er, a title

35:38or a refrain or a...?

35:39Shitting pineapples.

35:41Oh, but we're liking that.

35:42Never been bettered.

35:43Yeah, that's landing.

35:45Oof.

35:45Oh, er, droids.

35:48Androids.

35:49Opioids.

35:50Opioids.

35:50Lemmon wine.

35:51Hemorrhoids.

35:52Opioids.

35:54Thanks, see you.

35:55Bye.

35:56Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.

36:00She's writing a poem.

36:02Right.

36:07So, um...

36:08What, another drink?

36:10Or, or?

36:12Or?

36:14I think, or.

36:16We'll have to be at your place.

36:26Come on.

37:26Beth, I'm sorry.

37:28I was grumpy this morning.

37:32Oh, well, I think you're allowed to be a bit grumpy.

37:36You've had things to deal with.

37:38So, did you go and see Jess?

37:40Yeah, yeah, I did.

37:41Did you have a phone call at all this afternoon?

37:43About?

37:44Oh, it's just these people and cagulls knocking on the door.

37:46Who?

37:47Oh, did they phone you?

37:49So, there's this assumption from the middle classes that I've broken in and I'm up to no good.

37:53And then the patriarchy starts having to go, Beth isn't in a rock band.

37:56And I was like, oh my God, I had to stop myself garroting him.

38:01Why do men do that?

38:03Why do they always know better so categorically fucking better even when they just don't?

38:07So, I may have said things in reply in the heater moment.

38:10So, I hope I haven't, you know, bugged things up with the neighbours.

38:14So, how did you get on with Jess?

38:16I used to give me a three-month trial, see how I'd get on starting tomorrow.

38:19How do you feel about that?

38:21Oh, I started to try and make some shit about Gavin hoping it would turn itself into a song.

38:26But when I re-read it, it's just a load of swear words.

38:36This is good stuff, I like it.

38:40Oh, surely you can do something exciting with this.

38:43Maybe.

38:45Oh, and I was thinking about you bleeding so heavily.

38:47Would you like me to make an appointment at my surgery?

38:49Getty dealt with.

38:51Do you want me to make the appointment?

38:53Maybe.

38:55Fuck you.

39:01What's this?

39:02The one that got away.

39:05The boy that got away.

39:08It's just another one.

39:15Are you hungry?

39:17I can't be bothered to cook.

39:18Shall we eat out?

39:19Sure.

39:21Can I just have a shower and get changed?

39:23Of course.

39:23Help yourself.

39:24Are you comfortable?

39:38You're welcome.

39:39You're welcome.

39:43You're welcome.

39:47Be Helena.

39:47I know.

39:49All right.

39:50You're welcome.

39:52You're welcome.

39:54Yeah.

40:10Wow.

40:21Tell me about Tom.

40:23Tom.

40:24Margaret said he was a handful.

40:27Oh, really?

40:28Yeah, well, I mean, when he was a teenager, there were a few incidents.

40:32Like what?

40:32Oh, nothing that unusual, nothing that a lot of teenage boys don't get up to.

40:36Smoking, drinking, hanging out with the wrong sort, drugs, and, um, well, there was an incident

40:44with a stolen car.

40:47Police were involved.

40:49Thankfully, it was a bit of a wake-up call.

40:51He was cautioned.

40:52Nothing went on this permanent record, thank goodness.

40:55And after that, about one or two blips.

40:58He got his head down.

40:59He got his A-levels.

41:00He got it to university.

41:02I just think he did it out of boredom.

41:04It was just that the worry at the time that he had the instinct to do those things.

41:13How do you feel about him trying to find his birth mother?

41:15You know, you're the first person to ask me that.

41:20You're not going to eat something.

41:25Do you know why he wants to find a life?

41:28Why now?

41:29Not really.

41:31So how do you feel about it?

41:33I worry that...

41:34I worry about what he wants.

41:36And what he expects.

41:38And how it's going to affect him if his mum isn't what he expects.

41:41I mean, he used to have a terrible temper on him.

41:43And he can still be a bit that way now.

41:45I always thought that that was something to do with him being adopted.

41:48And I suppose, from my own point of view,

41:51if he did suddenly have another mum, as well as me,

41:56well, I could feel even more redundant in his life than I do already.

42:01If I was being small-minded.

42:03Which I can be.

42:10You all right?

42:12Kitty?

42:19I'm going to tell you something you're not going to believe.

42:23Well, I'm not going to tell you,

42:25because you won't believe me.

42:26I didn't believe it myself.

42:29I'm just going to show you this.

42:53It came about a month ago, and I...

42:56I didn't reply for a whole load of reasons.

42:58I didn't not reply as such.

42:59I just never found the right time to reply.

43:02And then, last night, when you said about Tom being adopted,

43:05and Cam asked about his birthday,

43:06I mean, it's...

43:08It's the same day.

43:11It's exactly the same day.

43:13And the right age.

43:14Same sex.

43:15Two days home.

43:16Same hospital you picked him up from.

43:19I mean, it's not definite.

43:20There could have been other babies that day that went up for adoption,

43:23but I doubt it, not from the same hospital.

43:29The thing is...

43:33He looks like me.

43:36And I did think about just disappearing today and not saying anything,

43:42but you've been so kind to me, I could not tell you.

43:46And then I thought, well, maybe it's fate that we met, like we did.

43:53What are you thinking, Pat?

43:56Look, I didn't invent this.

43:57I'm just telling it to you.

44:08How old were you?

44:19And then I got pregnant and 13 went at him, if it's...

44:32What happened?

44:47Did someone hurt you?

44:49Did someone hurt you?

45:07The boy that got away.

45:12Is that him?

45:14Tom?

45:16Yeah.

45:27Of all the gin joints in all the towns in the world,

45:32I wonder what made me walk into yours.

45:36I don't know.

45:41You don't just look like him.

45:44You've got some of his mannerisms.

45:48Like what?

45:50Just the way you smile.

45:53Your eyes.

45:57The way your whole face lights up when you smile.

46:05That's it.

46:11There...

46:11There was something else.

46:14What?

46:16So...

46:17There was a letter...

46:20on the piano and it wasn't sealed

46:22and I shouldn't have...

46:24I...

46:24I don't know why I did.

46:25I was probably just bored, but I...

46:28I read it.

46:31A letter to Tom.

46:32A letter written by you to Tom.

46:34And I...

46:34I'm so glad you have moved that rope up there.

46:37And I don't know where you've put it,

46:38but you shouldn't.

46:40You shouldn't think about doing something like that, Beth,

46:43because you are too good for that.

46:50I shouldn't have read the letter.

46:51I'm sorry.

46:52I am sorry.

46:54I honestly don't know why I did.

47:02Are you all right?

47:05Yes.

47:07I think so.

47:09I think so.

47:10Yes.

47:13Are we all right?

47:17Yes.

47:20Are we?

47:23Yes.

47:42You weren't really going to hurt yourself, were you?

47:50I was standing there...

47:56ready to go.

47:59And Jess phoned and said,

48:01do you want to be in a rock band?

48:05So...

48:07Maybe you should go see a doctor too.

48:16I'm sorry.

48:17Oh, Kitty.

48:26I'm sorry.

48:30Don't be sorry.

48:32Don't be sorry.

48:37No.

48:38Mm.

48:53Wow.

48:54Yeah.

48:55Mm-hmm.

48:57Oh!

49:04Just give me some of our friends.

49:05Yeah.

49:15Mm-hmm.

49:37So...

49:41Do you wanna...

49:44lick my arse?

49:47Do what?

49:49Lick my arse.

49:59I'm really sorry, but it's not my thing.

50:03Isn't it?

50:03Yeah.

50:04Sorry.

50:04I'm sorry.

50:06I thought we were doing, you know, straight, straight, straight, straight.

50:12Wait, have I embarrassed her?

50:14No.

50:15I have, haven't I?

50:16Oh, no, no, I'm embarrassed as well.

50:18Oh, don't be.

50:18Honestly, it's fine.

50:20I'll...

50:21I'll...

50:21I'll see myself out.

50:23Right.

50:27You've got a very nice...

50:29bottom, but it's just not my thing.

50:33Thank you for the...

50:37Bye.

50:38Thanks.

50:38Sorry.

50:39See you around.

50:40No, probably not.

50:42But, er...

50:45C-c-could I just ask...

50:47why you thought I...

50:49m-would be in-in to...

50:53W-w-was it something I exuded, or...?

50:57I...

50:58No, I just thought it was...

50:59it was one of your texts.

51:01It's...

51:01just kind of implied that, you know,

51:03you...

51:04you were...

51:06into that, so...

51:10No.

51:10No. Okay.

51:11Well, that is, er...

51:12very good to know, so...

51:19Bye.

51:20Bye.

51:27Oh, my God.

51:30Fucking hell.

51:30Who puts gravel on a fucking hill?

51:33You can lign my gravelly arse.

52:09I have my sentence now, at last I know just how you felt.

52:18I dig my fingers in, expecting more than just the skin.

52:28Cause we're a lord alike in fever, like a motorbike,

52:32a sailor and a nightingale, dancing in convertibles.

52:38And you can haunt me, like he held her.

52:42And I will fuck you, like nothing matters.

52:48And you can haunt me...

52:49Do you want to get up on your break, love?

52:50After you've served this fella?

52:52Yeah, I can do.

52:53I don't know.

52:55Evening.

52:58Can I, er...

52:59Yeah.

53:00Do you want to go and make yourself a cup of tea, love?

53:02Well, go for it.

53:05I think an apology mightn't go on, miss.

53:08Me apologise?

53:09Well, if that's what you think,

53:10me and you have reached the end of the road.

53:13Aye, love. What you having, sweetheart?

53:15Usual.

53:16Good on you.

53:17Here we go.

53:18Right.

53:19Here we go.

53:19Pint for ya.

53:39Hi, this is Tom.

53:40Please leave a message.

53:42Like nothing matters.

53:44Even when the clock comes crashing through,

53:47I'm putting all my bets on you.

53:49I hope they never understand us.

53:54What I'm thinking is we don't have to tell him now.

53:56You could tell him after, later, after he's gone, after today, or...

53:59I can't believe he didn't phone me back.

54:01Well, except I can, because he never does.

54:04Because if it's me, it's not important, by definition.

54:06Did you hear what I said, though?

54:09Why don't we play it by ear?

54:11Shit.

54:12Oh, fuck.

54:13I just slip out of the door.

54:15Don't.

54:15I'm frightened.

54:16Don't be.

54:21Hello.

54:22Hello.

54:23Hello.

54:24Oh.

54:26Oh, hiya.

54:27I haven't seen you for ages.

54:27Um, no, well...

54:29It's so nice, wasn't it?

54:30Oh, it's...

54:30I'm so sorry we're late.

54:31Oh, Tom.

54:33Yeah.

54:33My mum rang, then his dad rang,

54:35and the next door came round about the fence.

54:37Again.

54:37Oh, and we have to be back by 4.30.

54:39My friend's coming round to measure me up.

54:41She's getting married.

54:42Don't do it!

54:44Maid of honour.

54:45Nightmare.

54:46What was start ringing you about?

54:47We might be going on holiday with him.

54:49And this new woman he's started seeing, what is she called?

54:52Bonnie.

54:53Bonnie, yeah.

54:53Where's she come from?

54:55What did she do?

54:56Where's he found her?

54:57I don't know, I didn't ask, but...

54:59Yeah, he's asked her on this holiday that we only agreed to go on,

55:01because we thought he was going to be lonely, so...

55:03Bonnie.

55:06Isn't that like a dog's name?

55:11This is Kitty.

55:13I've invited her to stay and have lunch with us.

55:16Hi.

55:17Hi.

55:18Hello.

55:20How did you two know each other?

55:22Did you not get my message?

55:24No.

55:24I left a voice message.

55:26Did you?

55:26Several.

55:27And two texts.

55:28Oh.

55:28Asking you to phone me back.

55:30Saying it was important.

55:31Oh, sorry.

55:32Are you seriously telling me you don't look at your texts and your messages?

55:37He's useless.

55:38You answer the phone when your dad rings.

55:39Well, we were in when he rang.

55:41We weren't in last night.

55:43Oh.

55:43We were...

55:44out.

55:45Hmm.

55:47You can tell me now if it's so important.

55:49Yeah.

55:50I'm going to.

55:52Do you want to sit down?

55:54Sure.

55:58Right.

55:59So...

56:01Help yourselves.

56:07So...

56:07Kitty is...

56:08Oh.

56:09Sorry.

56:10I spoke to Uncle Nick last week.

56:12He wanted me to talk to you about Granny's care home.

56:16I'm not going to talk to you about Granny's care home.

56:18Yeah, but he just wanted me to make...

56:20Yeah, I know what he wants.

56:21Trying to get you on side.

56:23To keep pushing it.

56:24Well, he's gone even further down in my estimation than before.

56:26If such a thing was possible.

56:28So, no.

56:29I have been through this with him several times.

56:31We really don't need to talk about it.

56:33You're paying for things that she doesn't need.

56:35I'm not.

56:36Apparently there's a bar.

56:37And a library.

56:38And a swimming pool.

56:38And a bowling green.

56:40So, to me...

56:40Head to retirement village.

56:42Catering for people of all different stages of their declining years.

56:46Now, she doesn't need a bar.

56:48And a library.

56:49And a swimming pool.

56:50And a bowling green.

56:50But she does need 24-hour dementia care.

56:52The point is, she could get the same level of specific care that she needs elsewhere.

56:57You pay for what you get.

56:58And this is her money.

57:00Money that she's been so careful with all her life.

57:03So, I'm not going to dump her in the cheapest place I can possibly find

57:06so that he can line his pockets when she dies.

57:08End of.

57:09Okay.

57:11That's what I'm saying, but...

57:12I'm not cross with you, but I'm going to phone him later.

57:15And tell him what a rancid pile of shit he is.

57:20Fair enough.

57:26So, are you going to tell us what this important thing is then?

57:31Yes, I am.

57:32So, um...

57:35Kitty...

57:36Kitty and I, we...

57:39Um...

57:39We've got some news for you.

57:41And it's come as much of a surprise to us as to anyone.

57:44Um...

57:45And it's important that you know that we've talked about it.

57:48A lot.

57:50And that we're both actually very...

57:53comfortable with it.

57:54And with each other.

57:55Weirdly.

57:55In fact.

57:59And it's important, Tom, that you understand.

58:02That we met by a complete fluke.

58:05Honestly.

58:06Beth, Beth, Beth, Beth.

58:09We've always thought you were a bit gay.

58:12Well, that's very sweet, Fern.

58:15But I'm not gay.

58:18Kitty...

58:18I'm your birth mother.

58:19And the sky was all violent.

58:25I wanna get more violent, more violent.

58:31And I'm the one with no soul.

58:37Whatever I want to live.

58:43My last day, yeah.

58:49Mine is forever.

58:51Mine is forever.

58:53Mine is forever.

58:55Mine is forever.

58:56Mine is forever.
