00:00It's starting. I'm going in.
00:02I'm sorry. We have a strict policy which prevents anyone who is drunk...
00:06I'm not drunk.
00:07...or appears to be drunk from entering school premises.
00:10You signed up to this policy when you enrolled Simon at the school.
00:13Listen, if we would have had that rule in my day, we wouldn't have learned to out.
00:17Half the teachers were down at the pub every dinner time.
00:20Oh, sorry, mate. Emergency. The little accident.
00:24Just carry on without us.
00:26Peter.
00:27Peter. It's a public safety issue as much as anything else.
00:31It's flaming ridiculous.
00:33Look, you know what my little lad's been through this year, don't you?
00:37I know, and I'm very sorry, but the policy, Mr Farno, you're not...
00:41Look, a star.
00:43Behold, the Son of God will be born this night.
00:47Get ye to Bethlehem.
01:06I'm sorry, but I have to ask you to leave.
01:08I have a right to be.
01:09Mr Farno, you are not stopping me from watching my son, OK?
01:12No way.
01:13He's got to apologize.
01:20He's a sheep, eh?
01:21Oh, what is he again, that?
01:23Come on, baby, come on, this way.
01:24Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, he's the innkeeper.
01:27Yeah, I remember now, is it?
01:28The big time, eh?
01:29Hey, I was a rock once.
01:30You remember that, eh?
01:31You're upsetting the children.
01:32Yeah, come on, mate.
01:32No, mate, you're upsetting the children.
01:34All I want to do is support my son, OK?
01:37Get him out, Ken.
01:39Hey, there he is.
01:40Hello, my mate, hello.
01:43Come on, Pete.
01:44Get off.
01:45Get him.
01:47Get off.
01:48Oh, little lad, look at him.
01:51Get him off.
01:53Get off.
01:54Get off.
01:55What are you doing?
01:57Hey, how good is this, eh?
02:01Hey, we hardly recognised you.
02:04Has Daddy seen my one, son?
02:06Of course I have, son.
02:07Hey, you can't be a innkeeper without one of them, can you, eh?
02:09Come on, come on.
02:10Let's get you outside for a minute.
02:11Calm down a bit.
02:13Hey, give us a smile, Si.
02:14It's OK.
02:15I'm calm.
02:16I'm all right.
02:17All right, let go of me.
02:17I'm going.
02:18All right.
02:19All right.
02:21It appears that I may have pressing business elsewhere.
02:24Your lad is in tears.
02:26He's not.
02:27He's fine.
02:28Aren't you, Si?
02:29You're fine, mate, eh?
02:30His first Christmas without his mummy.
02:32Don't you think he has enough to go with?
02:35You're not upset, are you, eh?
02:37Where's my daddy going?
02:39Oh, I'll only be a minute, mate.
02:41Don't you worry.
02:41I will be right back, Si, OK?
02:44Don't you worry.
02:46Peter.
02:49It's all right.
02:50I really like the singing.
02:51Oh, yes, and you knew all the words, didn't you?
02:54We could see you singing along.
02:55He's a little hero, star of the show.
03:00Oh, no.
03:01All right, no trouble.
03:03Hey, Daddy take you for a Christmas treat, eh?
03:05Come on, mate.
03:06Are you in a fit state?
03:08Of course he isn't.
03:09Hey, come on, get him.
03:10What do you want?
03:10Do you want a pizza or do you want a burger?
03:12Hmm?
03:13Grandad?
03:15No, no, you stay here.
03:16Daddy's not very well.
03:17Oh, Daddy's never been better.
03:19Come on, mate, get him.
03:20Come on.
03:20I'll take him home.
03:21I don't know what we could do.
03:22We could take Simon home with us.
03:24No, there's no need for that, Ash.
03:26No, it's all right.
03:27Let the boys play together.
03:28He can have his tea at hours.
03:29No, I'm taking him out for his tea.
03:31I'm sorry, Mr Barlow.
03:33We can't let you do that.
03:34Oh, you can't stop me.
03:35You see, he's my son.
03:36You're drunk.
03:41You go.
03:42And you're an officious little jobs with what I'm going to be sober in the morning, mate.
03:47Are you sure you can manage?
03:48Yeah, really, go.
03:49Get Josh out of this.
03:53I want to go home, too.
03:55I know, I know.
03:56Of course you do, mate.
03:57Hey, we'll have a pizza on the way then, eh?
04:01We can go to the park.
04:02No, look, no, you're not taking it.
04:05It's Christmas.
04:06And he's had a drink or two.
04:08He doesn't need you gawping at him.
04:11Clear off.
04:13Yeah, go on.
04:14Go on.
04:14Keep walking on your way.
04:16Crawl back to your own miserable lives.
04:18Stop feeding on ours.
04:19Mine.
04:20Give me them back.
04:21You ought to knock me down if you want them.
04:23Are you that far gone?
04:24Just give me the keys.
04:26No.
04:29Please.
04:30Sorry, son.
04:31No.
04:33I'll come in here, Daddy.
04:53Dad!
04:55Dad!
04:57Dad!
04:57Dad!
04:58Dad!
05:01Deidre's putting Simon to bed.
05:03Oh, God, I'll, er... I'll go and kiss him. Good night.
05:05You will not. He's had enough upset today.
05:09Look, Dad, all I wanted to do was watch him in his flaming play.
05:12I don't want a slangy match. I don't want a slangy match.
05:14Simon needs a little normality and you are not coming in.
05:17I've got his teddy, look. He doesn't like to sleep without his teddy.
05:20Oh, give it to me. I'll take it out.
05:21No, I'll give it to him.
05:22You're not coming in.
05:23Well, then you're not having it, then.
05:24Oh, for goodness sake.
05:25Go away and sleep it off and we'll talk in the morning.
05:28When I've seen my son.
05:29No, actually, scrub that. When I've got him.
05:31When I've got my son back.
05:32All right, you can threaten all you like.
05:34Who's threatening? What did I say?
05:36Look, he's crying. I can hear him.
05:38Satisfied?
05:39I want my son.
05:41No!
05:47Simon!
05:49Simon!
05:50You all right, Blanche?
05:52I've gone all dizzy.
05:55Get away from us!
05:57Go on, get away!
05:59You're poison!
06:01You wreck everything you touch.
06:02You damage every life.
06:04Get away!
06:12Simon!
06:15Simon, come on, let's go home.
06:18I've got teddy, look.
06:21Look!
06:21I've got teddy.
06:25Will you...
06:26Oi!
06:32I want my son!
06:34I want my boy!
06:39Oi!
06:40I'm not going away!
06:42I'll break this tiny door down!
06:45Oi!
06:47You can see him when you're sober!
06:49You don't decide when I see my son!
06:52All right, would you rather social services took him?
06:54Oh, don't try and talk sense to him, can you?
06:56You'll just make him worse.
06:57I want him at home, and I want him in his own bed!
07:00Well, don't you think we all want that?
07:01Shut the door, Ken!
07:02You can't reason with him!
07:04What, and leave him screaming and yelling all night?
07:06Well, call the police, then.
07:07I said you should have called the police.
07:08Yes, he's right.
07:09We'll call the coppers!
07:10Well, let them decide who should have my son!
07:13Me?
07:14Or the worst father the world has ever known?
07:16Peter!
07:17And not forgetting you!
07:18Not forgetting the mother of a murderer!
07:20Yeah, you're right!
07:21Go on, I'll call him!
07:22I'll call him!
07:23Yeah, OK, go on!
07:24And make it even worse!
07:25Because I can't do a worse job with him than you did with us!
07:27I'm sorry, Peter, but Simon doesn't want to see you!
07:34What?
07:35It's true.
07:36Simon doesn't want to see you.
07:39Liar.
07:40We told him you were coming back tomorrow, and he said he didn't want you to.
07:44He said you shout too much.
07:45So come back when you're sober, and we'll see what we can salvage from this mess!
07:51No!
07:51You've turned him against me!
07:53You jealous, nasty old man!
07:55Yeah, go on, go on!
07:56I've only been eating to do that all day!
07:57Peter, no!
07:58Stop it!
07:58They won't let me have my son!
07:59Come on, come away!
08:00Listen, they're turning him against me!
08:02No, you've done that all on your own!
08:04Ken, come inside!
08:05Come on, come on, we can go and talk about it, come on!
08:07He's my son, and I want him!
08:09Well, why don't you try?
08:10He's my son, and I love him!
08:12Oh, God, you manage that!
08:15No, Peter, don't!
08:23I just wanted to get Christmas right!
08:28I just wanted to sit with all the other dads!
08:31Why couldn't I do that?
08:36You rot in hell, all of you!
08:38Okay, so...
08:44It's my God!
08:47You say, guys, bring my hands back to you!
