00:52Oh, look, come back to bed. It's my turn.

00:55No, I was awake anyway.

00:58Oh, no.

00:59Look, we've opened you and Daddy up.

01:02Oh.

01:03Shush, shush, shush.

01:05Oh, I hope.

01:06Shush, shush, shush.

01:07Get a bit more kip. I'll take him downstairs.

01:12Geraldine?

01:13Yeah?

01:14How was it last night?

01:17Was you and Rita get up to?

01:21Oh, nothing.

01:37Nothing exciting.

01:48Mum, you splashed me with nail varnish.

01:52Sure can't give you a hand, Mary.

01:53Er, no, no, you finish your nails.

01:59Hey, I called you ten minutes ago.

02:03We've not got any bickies?

02:04No.

02:05You can eat me so starm.

02:07Mum, I haven't got time.

02:08We've got to meet someone.

02:09What's she called?

02:10It's a bloke and it's business.

02:11Oh.

02:12Good morning, you.

02:13Oh, no, it's fantastic.

02:15I'll see you at lunch.

02:16Hey, Luke!

02:18Oh, arteries.

02:19I'll have it.

02:19Raquel.

02:20Well, she never give me enough first time.

02:22Oh, and who's she?

02:24Cat's mother?

02:24I don't know, but she ain't mine.

02:26You little sod.

02:27But if I were, you wouldn't have that mouth on you.

02:30What, this then?

02:34It's time you taught your children some manners.

02:37Man would never be like that at that age, would you, Matthew?

02:43Well, no, ma'am.

02:45No.

02:46Put.

02:49Raquel.

03:12Hey, Ergo, I'm playing traffic.

03:18It goes for you and all.

03:22No.

03:23She doesn't do it on purpose.

03:26She just speaks her mind, that's all.

03:29And that lets her off insulting me, does it?

03:31Making out of nothing, just rubbish.

03:33And you, you just sit there like a flaming telly-tubby, saying now...

03:37What am I supposed to do?

03:38This a bloody well-gree-with-er!

03:42I don't get it.

03:45You don't, do you?

03:47Hiya.

03:48Hiya.

03:50Big game today, eh, Jo?

03:51Yeah.

03:51Good luck, then.

03:52Cheers.

03:59You didn't tell him about us, did you?

04:01Last night.

04:02I did.

04:02I did!

04:04Well, no, I didn't.

04:05But I nearly did.

04:07Look, with me mum, it's...

04:09Well, you've just got to wait for the right moment.

04:11You'll never have a right moment with her, Matthew.

04:14I will.

04:18Wanker.

04:19Where are you going?

04:21I got a letter from the social this morning.

04:23They found us a flat.

04:25Three beds.

04:26Two single, one double.

04:29One double.

04:32What?

04:34And you want me to...

04:35move?

04:36No!

04:37Bloody well, don't.

04:39Not till you're off titting on solids.

04:45It's all right, ma'am.

04:46I'll get something later.

04:48Something?

04:49Something isn't home cooking.

04:51It's good a bit early to go to the ground, love.

04:53Oh, I just...

04:54Just want to clear me head.

04:56I'll see you later.

04:58All right.

04:58Well, good luck, my darling.

05:00Knock them dead.

05:13All right, Rita.

05:15Hiya.

05:17Come in, man.

05:24Geraldine?

05:25Rita's here.

05:27Hiya.

05:29Geraldine?

05:30Wait, what's up?

05:35Dave, will you just...

05:36Yeah, of course.

05:37Ta.

05:46Geraldine?

05:47Shh!

05:47Shut up.

05:48Shut up.

05:57Shut up.

05:58What's happened.

06:00What's happened.

06:00Rick's newspaper still sticking out of his letterbox.

06:03He ain't answering his phone.

06:04I heard it.

06:05Have you been around there?

06:09Why, for God's sake?

06:11Well, I thought maybe I...

06:12He's dead, Rita.

06:13We knew that last night.

06:16Dead.

06:16I know that.

06:17But I still never...

06:19Geraldine, we've got to go to police.

06:22What?

06:23We've saddened well murdered somebody.

06:25No, not just somebody.

06:26Your brother-in-law.

06:28Shut up, William.

06:29Shut up.

06:29We gave him drugs.

06:31My drugs.

06:32Yeah, not so as we bloody well kill him.

06:34Yeah, but we did, didn't we?

06:35And they're going to find him.

06:36And what's going to happen then?

06:37Half of Castlefield knows about you and Rick.

06:39How long do you think it's going to be before they put two and two together, work out what went

06:43on?

06:43It's murder!

06:44No, we didn't murder anybody.

06:46It was an accident.

06:48Get that into your head for a start.

06:51Yeah, yeah.

06:52All the more reason to go to police right now.

06:54Oh, yeah, and let Dave find out what I've been trying to keep from him in the first place.

06:58Yes, yes.

07:00Or do you want him to read about it in Yorkshire Pulse?

07:03Listen to me.

07:05How long have we been friends?

07:08Right, if it comes to it, if, I'll take every bit of blame for what happened last night.

07:16You had nothing to do with it.

07:18Yeah, but I did.

07:19No, Ritz.

07:22You weren't with me.

07:24You weren't with me.

07:27Do you understand?

07:31You fancy a brew?

07:32I've got to put the kettle on.

07:34Uh, no, Sarah.

07:37I've got to go.

07:38Sort me shit out before the match.

07:41Ritz, do you want to come with you?

07:45No, I'm better off on me own.

07:57He's still not answering, Mum.

08:03Hiya.

08:04Oh, we're just passing.

08:05I wonder if you want a lift at match.

08:06Great.

08:08Hobnobs.

08:09Brought on for your mum.

08:15Miss Holbrook?

08:19Miss Holbrook?

08:22Oh, sorry.

08:24I was miles away.

08:25Do you want to come with me?

08:36I'm probably being really stupid, but I'm worried about him.

08:40You gripped me head off on the phone yesterday.

08:43Oh, this is dead nice of you, you know.

08:45Put it on your slide, eh?

08:46Come here.

08:49There's a nap to her.

08:51Ah.

08:53Do you want us to stop here?

08:55No.

08:56Unless you do.

08:57No.

08:58No.

09:19Oh, my God.

09:21Oh, my God.

09:22Rick!

09:22What?

09:24Rick!

09:27Look, are you sure you don't need some more time to think about it?

09:30You've been asking me questions for half hours.

09:32Same questions you asked me yesterday.

09:35I've made my decision.

09:37Look, can you just give me the pill and I'll take it at home?

09:40I'm sorry.

09:41It just doesn't work like that.

09:43There can be complications.

09:45You've got to take it in my presence

09:46and then stay until I'm satisfied that you're okay.

09:49Stay?

09:50For how long?

09:51It varies.

09:52Sometimes a couple of hours, sometimes a bit more.

09:54But I have got to be somewhere out of past one.

09:57It's really important.

09:59Look, why don't you come back and see me sometime next week?

10:03Yeah.

10:09I'll, er, I'll come back tonight.

10:11I'll make an appointment.

10:16Are you sure we've got everything?

10:18You know what your mum's like.

10:20Yeah.

10:21Go on, I'll lock up.

10:23OK.

10:25Oh, don't ignore it, Dick.

10:26PHONE RINGS

10:27Hello?

10:30All right, Mum.

10:32We're on our way.

10:41What?

10:45He what?

10:49Mum, calm down.

10:54Mum?

10:55Mum, listen to me.

10:58Just hold on.

11:00We're on our way.

11:01What's up?

11:06It's Rick.

11:09Kelly went and, er...

11:13He's had an accident.

11:16Oh, no.

11:19I'm bleeding now.

11:27Come on, we'd better get to the hospital.

11:30Hospital?

11:33What?

11:37Nothing.

11:38Let's go.

11:39Let's go.

12:00Francine, try and understand, love.

12:02It's a big day for us today.

12:04And whether we stay up or go down, I would like you by my side.

12:09It's no use, Jim.

12:10I'm just not ready to meet the public.

12:12What public?

12:14Well, all right.

12:14Then we'll have it.

12:22Holly.

12:24Holly, come on.

12:25You can't keep this up forever.

12:26No, I was thinking a bit more long-term than that.

12:28Holly.

12:31Holly.

12:32Holly.

12:35What did you say to her last night?

12:38Well, I...

12:38I kind of mentioned what you and me were talking about.

12:41No.

12:42I thought it'd make her feel better.

12:44I've got a lot to learn about that girl.

12:47Everything got right, son?

12:49Yeah.

12:50Only Kelly's not here.

12:51But where is she?

12:52Don't know.

12:53It's the most important match of the season.

12:55You know, just for once, it'll be really nice if we had a full-bloody squad.

12:58Well, I'll tell you what.

13:00She might have a good excuse.

13:01And I mean a bloody good excuse.

13:13When the bloody hell's somebody going to talk to us?

13:19Thank God you went round there, Kelly.

13:22And I think what might have happened...

13:24Um...

13:25We don't know nothing yet.

13:29Here.

13:30Sorry, they're a fault at Brent.

13:34You ain't careful, you're spilling them.

13:36Bloody hell, I haven't found team.

13:38Well, they'll understand.

13:40Oh, no, but...

13:42What is this?

13:43You're Mr. Powell's family?

13:45Oh, I'm his mother.

13:47I'm Dr. Brenton.

13:48Look, Powell, sod the introductions.

13:49We've been here for nearly an hour now.

13:52Dave.

13:53Is it going to be all right, Doctor?

13:55What's happening?

13:56Well, from his blood analysis, we know he'd had an awful lot to drink

13:59and a quantity of sleeping pills in his system.

14:02Sleeping pills?

14:03It doesn't take sleeping pills.

14:05Are you telling us he's tried to kill himself?

14:08Well, that's not for me to say.

14:10But we've got that under control.

14:12So, can we see him now?

14:13I'm afraid you can't.

14:15What I'm trying to say is that the drugs and the drink aren't the problem.

14:19When he fell down the stairs, he sustained a head injury.

14:23What kind of head injury?

14:25It's what we call an intracranial haematoma.

14:28It means he's bled up here.

14:30So, what does that mean?

14:33It means we had to operate.

14:35Oh, you!

14:36No, I...

14:38Mr. Cartwright, the neurosurgeon, is still in the theatre with the patient.

14:42Your son.

14:44He's trying to relieve some of the pressure on his brain.

14:47Is he gonna live?

14:50I'm sorry.

14:51We don't know enough yet.

14:56Sorry.

15:09Now, we all know that, to some extent, what happens this afternoon is out of our hands.

15:13Because if Lansdowne win, it doesn't matter if we score 30 goals, we're still going down.

15:17But there's nothing we can do about that.

15:20On the other hand, if we lose, we'll know our fate as soon as the whistle's blown.

15:24So, let's keep our end of the bargain, yeah?

15:26Let's win it!

15:27Yeah!

15:28Yeah!

15:28Of course!

15:28Do you have anything to know, mate?

15:31I'm sorry to interrupt, Scott.

15:32Just listen up for a minute, will you, girls?

15:34Kelly won't be playing today.

15:35Why?

15:36Well, I haven't spoken to her.

15:37I've only spoken to Luke.

15:38And?

15:40Well, Rick's had an accident.

15:41Ah.

15:42Not life-threatening, I hope.

15:44Mike, it might be serious.

15:46Excuse me, mother-bleeding Teresa.

15:48I forgot.

15:49Every life is sacred.

15:51Well, as it happens, Mikey, he's in the hospital, I think.

15:53It's very serious.

15:55All right, look, there's nothing we can do about that now, yeah?

15:58Lisa, you take Kelly's place.

16:00Don't do anything stupid.

16:00How bad is it with Rick, then?

16:03I don't know.

16:04Keep the ball on the ground.

16:05Is he going to die?

16:06Don't let him be silly.

16:06Let's keep it simple, all right?

16:07I don't know why.

16:08Well, it's Kelly I'm thinking of.

16:10Well, think about these girls here for the change, if you don't mind.

16:13Look, I'm sorry for the big hearts, girls.

16:14There's going to be no inspirational talk from me today.

16:17Just get out there and win.

16:18We're going to stay in this league, right?

16:22Come on, get out there.

16:25What's it like, then, this new place?

16:28What's it to you?

16:29I don't know if you're going to see it.

16:31Oh, come on, Pauline.

16:33What are you doing?

16:35I'm putting my arm around you.

16:36Oh, you're that brave.

16:38Well, your man's not here.

16:48I'm, er...

16:49I'm on the round, if you like, can't I?

16:50I'm not fine.

16:52Yeah, I got it much.

16:55Thanks for all you've done today, Luke.

16:57Why, I couldn't know that.

16:59Well, thank God knows what you like when you make an effort.

17:02Wait and see, yeah.

17:10Well, give Cassie Arms a ring if there's any news, yeah?

17:13Yeah.

17:14Tell them all I'm sorry.

17:26Come on, Geraldine.

17:35Geraldine, it's...

17:36It's switched off. Please try later.

17:44He never tried to kill himself last night.

17:47I know he never.

17:51Two bottles of wine and a few pills.

17:55Anyone under 35 calls that a good night out.

18:00He got drunk

18:02and he fell.

18:04I saw the tit down the stairs.

18:07Yeah, that's how it looks.

18:09So why do I feel so friggin' guilty?

18:15Why do I feel like it was me who pushed him?

18:19Do you really want me to tell you?

18:23Because you're a decent bloke, Dave.

18:27Because you've got everything that Rick's jealous of

18:30and you feel bad, but you shouldn't

18:31because it's not your fault, Dave.

18:33It's nobody's fault.

18:35Rick's had just as much love as you.

18:37You only have to look at his mam's face if you don't believe me.

18:41Rick has made his own life.

18:43You know, same as our kids will.

18:49He was on his own, Geraldine.

18:53All right.

18:56I hate what he's done.

19:00But he's my own flesh and blood.

19:07Oh, Christ.

19:09Dave.

19:12Dave.

19:15Listen, I know this sounds hard,

19:17but I'm saying it because I love you.

19:20If the tables were turned now

19:23and Rick was you and you were him,

19:26he wouldn't give a shit.

19:29Geraldine?

19:34I've switched it off.

19:36Apparently they can interfere with life support machines.

19:52Come on, Blue.

19:53Come on.

19:54In the ball.

19:54For a tackle, eh?

19:57It's nearly our time and they're bloody walking all over us.

19:59They're doing all right.

20:00They're holding them off.

20:00Well, that's not good enough.

20:01We've got to win over out on our arses

20:03and that's before the other result comes in.

20:05Get stuck in!

20:06Fuckin' tackle them!

20:13And we don't want all ten of you running back

20:16every time they've got the ball.

20:17You've got to hold your shape.

20:18Look out, look, look.

20:19Forget the tactics.

20:20This is do or die.

20:22Do whatever you've got to do to win or die.

20:24Well, next season I'll be spending my money on the villa in bloody Portugal.

20:27Am I making myself blame?

20:29But, Jim, I'm the team coach, yeah?

20:30Look, team coach?

20:31You might be all right at putting bloody fires out, son.

20:33You're crap at lighting a bloody thing.

20:35Oh, and you think you're helping, do you?

20:36Well, I could bloody well try better than that.

20:38If you're going to start banging your balls on the table,

20:40can you do it outside?

20:41Because we've got bad things on us minds.

20:43Yeah, all right, all right.

20:44They walked all over us in the first half,

20:46but that don't mean we're going to chuck the match away.

20:48This is our team, our ground.

20:50We've worked hard for it and we're not going to give it away.

20:56But we're just letting them make us decisions.

21:00They've got us running around like a bunch of kids out there.

21:03Now, since when are you lot let anybody tell you what to do?

21:08Right, so let's make a decision and stick to it.

21:12We've got no intention of losing our place in the league

21:15and I, for one, do not want to wake up tomorrow morning

21:17wishing that we'd play things different, so come on!

21:20Come on!

21:21Come on!

21:27Can you smell that laugh?

21:28It's charisma.

21:30She was nearly my daughter-in-law.

21:36How much longer?

21:38I'm going off my head here.

21:40What with guilty conscience?

21:41Please, you two, don't start.

21:44Nobody's got out to feel guilty for.

21:47Rick's had an accident, for God's sake.

21:50Accident he deserved, according to some.

21:53Eh?

21:53Why don't you tell her?

21:55Why don't you shut up and give your mum an easy life?

21:57Cos it ain't an easy sort of day.

21:59What are you talking about?

22:00Nothing, mum.

22:01Shut it, Kelly.

22:03Why?

22:04We're sitting here waiting to see if our brother's gonna live or die

22:06and all you care about is her feelings.

22:09Oh, yeah.

22:10I heard ya.

22:11Back there.

22:12Twisting Dave on your little finger.

22:15Rick's this, Rick's that.

22:16Never said a word about yourself, did ya?

22:19Oh, no.

22:20Left that bit out.

22:21I mean, Rick, well, he's rotten to the core, isn't he?

22:24Whereas you...

22:24Kelly!

22:25I'm warning ya.

22:26Just leave it!

22:27Oh, stop it!

22:29Stop it!

22:30God's sake, I've had enough by today.

22:33Now, Mrs. Powell, I've just operated on your son.

22:38How is he?

22:39Comfortable.

22:39He's on our intensive therapy unit.

22:41Doesn't sound like my idea of comfort.

22:44Nor mine.

22:45But when your brother was brought in, he was close to death.

22:49No, he's not.

22:50Oh!

22:51If I were him, I think I'd call that comfortable.

22:55Attack, Blues! Attack!

22:57Ten minutes left.

22:58So much for charisma.

23:04Come on, Mikey, shoot! Shoot!

23:09Oh, they're all, they're all!

23:11Come on!

23:12Oh, my God!

23:12Oh, you're saying Scott?

23:14Bratley!

23:15Oh, please!

23:17Oh, Doctor?

23:25Oh, hi.

23:27Can I have a word?

23:28Oh, my God.

23:28It's a bad word.

23:30Um, I'm sorry to put you on the spot, but, um...

23:34But what?

23:38Is he going to have brain damage?

23:42Really, it's too early to tell.

23:44Come on, come on, make an educated guess, can't you?

23:46I mean, is he...

23:47Is he going to be talking by tomorrow?

23:49What?

23:50I don't make guesses, Mrs Powell.

23:52Not even educated once.

23:54He might be talking by tonight, or he might never speak again.

23:58It's impossible to tell with this particular type of injury.

24:02Excuse me.

24:10The penalty and injury time never!

24:13It's a long run.

24:15Oh!

24:18Oh, my God!

24:20Oh, my God!

24:23Oh, my God!

24:24Oh, my God!

24:27Give me some ice, mate!

24:32Oh, my God!

24:34Oh, my God!

24:36Oh, my God!

24:38Oh, my God!

24:54Come on, love, let's go.

24:56What?

24:57No, I-I don't mind stopping.

24:58It's no good me and Kelly being here.

25:00We're just winding each other up.

25:02It's upsetting me, man.

25:05Rick's stable now and they'll let us know if there's any more news.

25:10All right, Mum.

25:11Kelly?

25:12Yeah.

25:13See ya.

25:24Come on, then.

25:24Captain always gets first round in.

25:26Let's see if we still didn't leak.

25:27Oh, look, I can't.

25:29Somewhere else to go?

25:30Hey, Ollie, do us a favour, will you, mate?

25:32Get the drinks in.

25:34Right.

25:34See ya.

25:34See ya in a bit.

25:35See ya in a bit.

25:56I'm sorry I'm late.

25:57The sodding train broke down.

25:58What are you doing here?

26:00Well, I wanted to see the game for one thing.

26:02Well done.

26:03Oh, come here.

26:04Oh, I'm that pleased to see ya.

26:06Oh, me too.

26:07Oh.

26:09Oh.

26:12Joe, there's something I want to tell ya.

26:14I've not told a soul so I'm feeling a bit nervous so I'm just gonna say it, okay?

26:18Yeah.

26:20Me and Eddie, we're having a baby.

26:28Keith, anyone fun with the Lansdowns on ya?

26:30Not yet, mate, no.

26:31Hey, my apologies.

26:34What for?

26:35Well, you know, this morning I could've bet me life you had no idea about handling women

26:39but after that second half, you must know something.

26:43Oh, yeah.

26:44A happy couple.

26:47You're saying?

26:48Mm.

26:50Don't worry about it.

26:51I'll, er, I'll speak to her.

26:53Later.

26:54It's all timing with Holly.

27:03Any news, man?

27:04Yeah, he's, er, he's come through the op.

27:06The doctor reckons he's half a danger.

27:08Thank God for that.

27:09Elf Kelly?

27:10Oh, she's all right, yeah.

27:11She's still in the hospital with my mum.

27:14What are you on, love?

27:16Erm, a lemonade if I'm driving.

27:18I'm just gonna have a quick word with Rita.

27:20I already hope she's driving.

27:22I'm gonna get slaughtered.

27:27I've been going out my mind.

27:29Why did he turn your phone off?

27:31Not allowed.

27:31Mobile's on the board.

27:32What?

27:33What's going on?

27:34Did he pull through the operation?

27:36Yeah, he came through.

27:37Oh, thank Christ for that.

27:41Yes, I'm relieved.

27:43We're not looking at a manslaughter charge, or worse.

27:46What are you talking about?

27:48When we go to police.

27:51Stop banging on about going to the sudden police.

27:53We're not going to the police.

27:55We don't need to go to the police.

27:58Geraldine, he's alive.

28:00What do you reckon he's gonna say when he wakes up, eh?

28:02Eh?

28:02No hard feelings?

28:04You do what you want.

28:06I'm going to the police.

28:07Listen, now listen to me.

28:08Now listen.

28:09All right.

28:10Rick's alive.

28:11So what?

28:12With any luck, he'll have brain damage.

28:14You won't remember how to wipe his own miserable, bleeding arse.

28:16Never mind what happened last night.

28:18Do you understand?

28:19Do you?

28:21You're hurting me.

28:30Geraldine, what's happening to you?

28:33Hey.

28:35Half the reason I said I'd help you yesterday was because you were in the right.

28:39Yeah, and I'm still in the right.

28:40No.

28:41No.

28:41You're not.

28:43We are not.

28:45If you can't see that, you know better than Rick.

28:49Look at you.

28:51You disgust me.

28:56Oh, Jesus.

29:01Oh, Rita.

29:04Oh, I'm sorry.

29:06I'm sorry.

29:09I'm sorry.

29:15He wanted to destroy me family, Rita.

29:17I couldn't sit back and let that happen.

29:21You know, but...

29:22Do you stand a chance if he doesn't...

29:28A chance to be a proper family somewhere real without any of this hanging over us?

29:35Do you know?

29:35And I think Dave and the kids deserve that.

29:40I just, I do know what I've done wrong, Rita.

29:43You know, I'm just...

29:44I'm just trying to find the best way out for all of us.

29:51If you want to go to the police, then you go.

29:56But I'm going to take my chances.

30:11Hey, did I tell you that Eddie fainted when the doctor told us about the baby?

30:14Yeah.

30:15And when he woke up, he fainted again.

30:17What's he like?

30:19No way am I letting him anywhere near me when I give birth.

30:22Can you imagine?

30:23Roger.

30:25Still, he can't help being sensitive.

30:27It's half the reason I fell in love with him, soft sod.

30:31I really hope that the baby's a girl.

30:35Eddie would make a great dad for a girl, don't you think?

30:39Joe.

30:40Yeah.

30:41Oh, yeah.

30:42He'd be a good dad for a girl, definitely.

30:44Joe.

30:45I've upset you.

30:47No, you've not.

30:48I didn't mean to.

30:49It's...

30:50This is why I wanted to tell you before I told anyone else.

30:53Because, yeah.

30:56Because it's going to be a sister for you.

30:58Or brother.

31:01It's so exciting.

31:03Can you imagine me mam's face?

31:05And me dads and Matthew and Luke.

31:07Just think about it.

31:09A new little life.

31:12Joe.

31:13What is it?

31:14Teresa, I've got some news of me own.

31:22You can come and see him now.

31:24There's no need to wait here.

31:27Come on, mam.

31:30Right.

32:00I'm here, love.

32:03I'm here.

32:04Yeah.

32:07God.

32:10Look at the stadium.

32:15You've got this having a right mess this time, haven't you?

32:26Yeah.

32:33Yeah.

32:33Teresa, I'm going to have to go.

32:35I'm going to be late for my appointment.

32:36Joe, stay here.

32:38Can't we talk for another five minutes?

32:39Oh, what's there left to talk about?

32:42I've made my decision, Teresa.

32:44I'm too young.

32:44I'm 22, for God's sake.

32:47I need to live a bit.

32:50The main reason is I...

32:52I don't want to bring this baby up on my own.

32:55You wouldn't be on your own.

32:57You'd have us.

32:57You'd have your family.

32:58It's just what I'm saying.

32:59Ian, how did you feel 20-odd years ago?

33:02Forced into pretending that you were my sister,

33:04sent away to Ireland like a sodding leper.

33:07Oh, so much for support from family.

33:09Look, Joe, I'm not saying it's the right way of doing things.

33:12I used to pray to God to forgive me every night for 20 years.

33:1620 years being scared, Joe.

33:18Yeah, I'm not going...

33:21And not once did I ever wish that I'd got rid of you.

33:24Not once.

33:26Well, that was you and this is me.

33:29Yes, you.

33:31The best thing that's ever happened in my life.

33:38I don't think abortion's right, if I'm honest,

33:40but that's not what I'm talking about, so forget it.

33:46I'm your mother, Joe.

33:47As screwed up as it's been, I am.

33:50And if this is something that you feel you've got to do,

33:52then you do it.

33:54But if you're doing it because you're scared of man,

33:56or you're scared of the future,

33:58then I'm begging you, please, think again.

34:02Because it doesn't matter how bad the circumstances are,

34:05you'll love that baby with all your heart.

34:08And I should know.

34:10Because I'd lay my life down for you now.

34:15Yeah, but...

34:16If I never have it, I'll never love it, will I?

34:28What the hell's she wearing them for?

34:33The clips was last year.

34:37It's not clever, you know, laughing at other people's misery.

34:41Keith, you didn't get that dopey bugger off the phone.

34:44I mean, everyone takes much more than this.

34:45All right, all right.

34:46Jim.

34:47Jim, he's coming over.

34:49Where are you at? I don't promise.

34:52You all right, Jim?

34:54Mary and me were just wondering if you'd care to join us.

34:59Smashing.

35:00How have you been?

35:01Oh, fine.

35:03Fine.

35:08Go for a piss.

35:09Don't want to piss.

35:11Go for a piss.

35:13Timing, remember?

35:17All right.

35:26Do us a favour, get us a pint.

35:28Get it yourself.

35:29Can't see over the bar.

35:30Stand on your tiptoes, then.

35:32Can't.

35:36No need.

35:37Used you.

35:39Just talk to us, will you?

35:43OK.

35:44Just get this round.

35:46You look so well.

35:49Oh, it's lovely to see you.

35:51But I wish she'd given us more notice.

35:53We've nothing ready.

35:55And we've got the house full of visitors.

35:58I'm not that bothered, man.

36:01Look who I fart.

36:04You all right, Mary?

36:05Well, I mustn't complain.

36:07No, I'll say you mustn't.

36:08I mean, goodness, I'm so proud of Jo myself, and she's not my daughter.

36:15Well, honestly, if she was, I'd be standing on this chair shouting.

36:19Yes, well, I suppose I am pleased.

36:22Heaven knows where she's got to.

36:26I know what it sounded like, but when I talked to Scott, I wasn't thinking of you like a piece

36:30of meat.

36:30I thought I was doing what was best for both of us.

36:33And if you're honest with yourself, things have been better.

36:37We're not at each other's throats all the time, for a start.

36:41All I wanted was...

36:49Look, he's mad about you, and he's a nice lad.

36:51Why couldn't you be paralysed from the gob up instead of worse down?

36:55No, I'm glad I'm not. I talk better than I walk.

37:02Maybe it's time you moved out.

37:07But...

37:10What about you?

37:13I'm fine.

37:15It's been good for me.

37:18Forced me to sort myself out a bit.

37:20Get on with my own life.

37:24And then...

37:26What about you and me?

37:29Forget it.

37:31You're free.

37:33I mean it. I'm not playing around with you here.

37:36No more guilt.

37:38You can do what you like.

37:41Ollie.

37:43Baby, this is what you wanted.

37:46It was.

37:53No. No.

37:55Hal, what are you doing?

37:56I don't know.

37:58I don't know what I'm doing.

38:06I don't know whether I want us to be over.

38:12Scott, mate.

38:13Hold.

38:15A bit of time.

38:18Cheers.

38:19Hello, mate.

38:20Yes.

38:23Cheers, mate.

38:24Thanks.

38:25Bye-bye.

38:28All right.

38:29Quiet, everyone.

38:30Quiet.

38:31Lansdowne lost.

38:323-1.

38:33We're staying up.

38:44We did it, Rick.

38:47Well done.

38:48I'm proud of you.

38:50Hey, Scott.

38:51Well done.

38:52I told you we could do it.

38:53Not at half time, you didn't.

38:54Oh, don't believe me.

38:55That's just widening your nose.

38:56I'm fine.

38:57No.

38:57No, I haven't.

38:58Hey, well done, you girls.

38:59Well done, you blues.

39:01Yeah.

39:03Yeah.

39:08Nice one.

39:09Hey.

39:10Oh, she is loved.

39:13Hey.

39:15Hey.

39:16Hey.

39:18Nice one.

39:19Hey.

39:20Hey.

39:21Hey.

39:23Hey.

39:24Have you heard the news, love?

39:27Hey.

39:28Next year's gonna be our best ever season.

39:30Don't care.

39:31Cos no-one expected us to stay up, but we have.

39:33Yeah.

39:33We're gonna build on it.

39:34We're gonna fly up that bloody league.

39:36Do you know what, Joe?

39:37Hmm?

39:37You're gonna be the person to lead them out.

39:39Oh, I'm not so sure about that, Jim.

39:41And you just said that.

39:42It's that Des, isn't it?

39:43He's trying to poach you, isn't he?

39:45Er...

39:45No, not quite.

39:47What?

39:49Trees, huh?

39:52We're pregnant.

39:55What?

39:55You and Eddie?

39:56Oh, great swank.

39:57I don't milk, man.

40:00Oh, I got it, pal.

40:02Congratulations, love.

40:03Yeah, well done, Theresa.

40:04We're starting to think Eddie didn't have it in him.

40:07Er...

40:07Ma'am, erm...

40:09What Theresa was trying to say is that...

40:12we're both pregnant.

40:19I'm going to be a grandmother!

40:20Take it easy, Francine.

40:22A grandmother!

40:26Oh, ma'am.

40:29Hey.

40:30Ma'am, I'm sorry.

40:32I'm sorry.

40:33No, I don't want you to apologise.

40:36Ma'am, I don't want to upset you, but whatever you may think of this, Orion, I'm gonna have

40:41this baby, whether you like it or not.

40:43Even if I have to leave Castlefield.

40:45Over my dead body.

40:47Oh!

40:48You cried softly.

40:52Oh!

40:53So much has happened to us over the past few months.

40:57I got used to expecting the worst.

41:00And now, so...

41:04Oh!

41:07What?

41:08You'll never cease to amaze us, ma'am.

41:11Anyway.

41:12We've got ours full of children.

41:15It's about time we had some of our own.

41:18Oh!

41:19Oh!

41:21This is great.

41:30It's a tragedy.

42:03No, I couldn't agree with you more, Mary.

42:05I don't want to spoil our little grandchild either.

42:08But we're talking about decorating a nursery.

42:11I don't see how you can spoil a baby with wallpaper.

42:14You'd be telling me next I can't give Jo my antique shawl.

42:18Oh, no, of course you can give it to her, but she won't be needing it.

42:22We've had the same christening shawl in our family since 1890.

42:26He's dead, isn't he?

42:29I don't believe it.

42:32When we left the hospital, they said he was stable.

42:35He is.

42:36So what's all this about?

42:39David Anthony Powell, I'm arresting you for the attempted murder of Richard Powell.

42:44You what?

42:44You do not need to say anything.

42:46He got pissed and falls down the stairs.

42:48If he's not mentioned, when questioned, something which you later rely on in court.

42:52Did you hear me? He had an accident.

42:55That's not what your brother's telling us.

43:04Get us a large Richard Keefe, will you?

43:08You know what?

43:10You're right about me.

43:12I am a big baby.

43:15But I'm going to do something about it.

43:17I'm going to tell my mum about us.

43:19I'm going to tell her now.

43:20Mum, I'm moving in with you and the kids.

43:26I love you, Pauline.

43:29Do you think I am?

43:30Yeah, I do.

43:31And if me mum can be happy about our job getting pregnant to Ryan Pratt,

43:36then she can be happy about us.

43:38I'm going to tell her.

43:42I'm not sure it's the right time, Matthew.

43:45Hang on a minute.

43:47Is this a wind-up or what?

43:52Mum?

43:53Yeah, oh, what the fuck?

43:54Are you happy?

43:56Oh, I've never been happier in my life.

43:59Good.

44:00That's good.

44:02Because I've got something to tell you.

44:03Yeah.

44:11Over my dead body!
