00:00Are you alright?
00:02Yeah, I just have a heart condition.
00:04If you bring me over and round here,
00:06even though I know you're not really interested in me,
00:08I'm not not interested.
00:10Brad!
00:11I assume that he's finally seen the light and worked out what a mad bitch you are,
00:14so if he wants to move in here, that's fine by me.
00:17Don't you dare fill his head with rubbish about me.
00:21Your marriage is over!
00:23And I do not want to waste another second of my life
00:26pretending it's something worth saving!
00:29What's he doing?
00:30I can't chuck him out, he's got nowhere else to go.
00:32What do you want?
00:33You couldn't lend me some money, could you?
00:35Well, where would you like to get wed?
00:36Because, I mean, you can get wed anywhere now, you know.
00:39Hello?
00:40Anybody there?
01:29It's all safe now.
01:30Why don't you get back in form?
01:32We'll get on with it.
01:33Alright.
01:34Thanks.
01:55Hello.
01:56Hello.
01:57Hello, this is Alan Buttershaw.
01:59Please leave your message after the tone.
02:02Dad, it's me.
02:04Again, just to say...
02:08Where are you, basically?
02:11Did you get my last message about picking up a takeaway?
02:14Because I've not been able to think about cooking with all this going on.
02:20Bye.
02:22So I didn't need this happening right now.
02:24They'll have to ring your insurance.
02:25They'll give me about 50 quid for it.
02:28How the hell am I going to buy another one?
02:30You can use my car.
02:32Thanks.
02:34How did it start?
02:35Oh, they don't know.
02:37Lightning, electrical fault.
02:39You don't think someone torched it?
02:45Like who?
02:46Creswells.
02:48Hayley's stupid brother.
02:50Wish me dad'd get home.
02:52I should have been here over an hour since.
03:01Oh.
03:03Do you know, I've had some poor cards.
03:11Oh, there she goes again.
03:15With her head tucked underneath her arm
03:19She walks the bloody tower
03:22We're in here, love.
03:27You're right, it'll be a draft.
03:30How's this size, this old?
03:33It'd be odd if it didn't creak and make a few noises.
03:36Shall we make another expedition to Watercloset after this hunt?
03:40Can do.
03:42I don't know why that telephone at reception won't work.
03:45It's obviously connected.
03:47I'm amazed we've not set off an alarm.
03:56Do you think anyone's realised that we're missing?
04:12She's just here just now, let me ask her.
04:14Caroline?
04:15I saw this mess.
04:16Dad's cockney.
04:17How was your exam?
04:18Good.
04:20Answered everything?
04:21No nasty surprises?
04:23Caroline, it's Gillian.
04:25Slightly concerned because she was having the impression your mum and Alan were due at hers and they've not turned up.
04:30So, they're adults?
04:32Yes, but she was expecting them at five.
04:34She's cooking for them and...
04:36Do you want to talk to her?
04:45Gillian, hi.
04:46I was just ringing to see if they were with you, that's all.
04:49No, the car's not here.
04:51They're not here, I just looked.
04:52I got the idea they were leaving here first thing.
04:55They did, I know, I just wondered if they'd gone back to Harrogate for whatever reason.
04:59I don't think so.
05:00Has your mum got her mobile?
05:02Yes.
05:03Would you mind ringing her for me?
05:04Yeah, I don't mind her being late, just so long as they're alright.
05:07Sure, I'll get back to you, give me a minute.
05:11Bye.
05:12Bye bye.
05:16Why is she ringing you on your mobile?
05:18Why? Well...
05:19Shh, shh.
05:20This is Celia Dawson, please leave a message, thank you.
05:23Hi mum, it's me, can you give me a ring when you get this message please, thank you, bye.
05:29I need Gillian's number.
05:3507700900827.
05:39I rang her to say thank you for letting me stay at her house after you drove off without me.
05:44I got the number from Alan when he drove me over here.
05:46And you saved her?
05:47Well, yes, not, not, not...
05:49You're transparent.
05:51Hello?
05:52Gillian, hi, I'm just getting voicemail.
05:55OK.
05:56I'm sure they'll turn up.
05:58I just worry about my dad having his pills on him, you know, for his heart.
06:04Oh God, yeah, of course.
06:06And he would not ring if he knew it was going to be late.
06:09When he knew I was cooking for him, he's just...
06:13He's polite, he's thoughtful.
06:16Is there any friends or relatives they might have visited?
06:19Yeah, yeah, I just thought I'd try you first.
06:22I'll keep trying a number.
06:24Thanks.
06:25Will you ring me?
06:27Of course.
06:28OK, bye.
06:30They've probably just got carried away doing something and forgotten to look at the clock.
06:33Yeah, whatever.
06:34I'm cooking.
06:35Not for me, you're not, I don't want your filth.
06:37You see, that's just...
06:38I have a timetable, I know what I'm cooking when.
06:41You organise yourself when you have two strapping teenagers,
06:44a demanding, time-consuming full-time job
06:46and a husband who dumps you for an alcoholic.
06:50What's happening with Granny?
06:52Oh, er...
06:54Her and Alan haven't turned up at Gillian's when they're supposed to
06:58and she's worried about where they are.
07:01I'll get changed.
07:12It's got a grand flush, that toilet.
07:15They built things properly, didn't they, the Victorians?
07:18Oh, strictly speaking, it's Georgian.
07:211836, North Tower were completed.
07:25Here before Victoria ascended throne.
07:27Oh, very good.
07:29Main body of the house.
07:31Yeah, I didn't know it were this old.
07:33Dates back to 1514.
07:35Oh, fancy.
07:37People thought you and me didn't try smashing a window.
07:40Stained glass is original medieval.
07:43It's unique. It's priceless.
07:46Heck.
07:49There she blows. I wish she wouldn't.
07:52We're in Klodgy, Mrs!
08:01There's somebody up there.
08:03Hello?
08:05Oh, shit.
08:07We're all right.
08:09What are we going to do?
08:11Hello?
08:15We're going to go back up to the bedroom
08:19and shut door and play cards.
08:24Hello?
08:26We've got to shut in.
08:28We're not burglars, we're pensioners.
08:31Hello?
08:34No!
08:36What was that?
08:39Nothing.
08:41It's nothing.
08:45You all right, Gillian?
08:50I just want to know that he's all right, that's all.
08:54PHONE RINGS
09:01Who were that?
09:02Her.
09:03Your mother?
09:04Who else?
09:06That bitch.
09:08Paul Jattery.
09:09I know.
09:10Paul bloody Jattery.
09:11I know.
09:12Why?
09:13God knows.
09:14No, really.
09:15You know, why?
09:16You're asking the wrong person.
09:18Apart from the fact that he's engaged to Neil Cresswell's lass.
09:21He's gone a mental age of a blancmange.
09:23He's retarded.
09:24Yeah, well, probably not his brain she's bothering with him for, is it?
09:27Bloody screw loose, I tell you. She always has had it.
09:29Yeah, all right.
09:32All right.
09:36Sorry.
09:38Sorry.
09:40Right, I'm going to drive over to Halifax.
09:43Really?
09:44Yeah.
09:45Why don't I give it till nine o'clock?
09:47Yeah, I'll give it till nine o'clock
09:49And if we still haven't heard anything, I'll...
09:51Do you want me to come with you, Mum?
09:52No, no, you've got school tomorrow.
10:03Hello.
10:04Robbie, it's Gillian.
10:06Yeah, I thought it might be.
10:07My dad hasn't turned up.
10:09When he was supposed to.
10:11A couple of hours ago now.
10:12And I wanted to know if Raph had seen him or had a phone call from him or anything.
10:18Is he there?
10:19Is that the best you can do?
10:20I'm sorry?
10:21Excuses for ringing up.
10:23I'm not mucking about, Robbie. He's got his heart problem.
10:27I just want to know if Raph's heard from him. It's that simple.
10:33Raph?
10:34Mm?
10:36Come on, something about your grandad.
10:44What do you want?
10:45Have you heard from grandad at all this evening?
10:47No.
10:48He's not wrong you or...?
10:49Why?
10:50Because I was expecting him at five for tea.
10:54In my celia.
10:56And they've not turned up?
10:57Where were they last time you spoke?
10:58In a cafe in Elland.
11:00Two o'clock this aft.
11:01Have you tried ringing him since?
11:02Of course I've...
11:06I'm ringing him every ten minutes.
11:08So what are you going to do?
11:11I'll have to ring round the hospitals, won't I?
11:14What do you want me to do, Al?
11:16No.
11:18Do you want me to go looking for him?
11:21No.
11:23Do you want me to come over?
11:26If you want.
11:28Is that twice the line in our city?
11:31If you want to come over and help me think about what to do next,
11:36you'd be very welcome.
11:40Have you done your homework?
11:47We should sue.
11:49You what?
11:50In the morning, when we get out of this godforsaken hole,
11:53we should sue.
11:55This is entrapment.
11:57Well, negligence.
11:59I mean, what if someone...
12:02Have you got your pills?
12:04Yeah, I'll be right.
12:06Come on, get in.
12:09Well, Appen, they were footsteps, Appen.
12:12Just sounds of housemates.
12:15A house this old, this big, can sound like anything,
12:19anything you want it to sound like.
12:22I don't believe in ghosts.
12:24Neither do I.
12:26I think once you've cast your chips, that's it.
12:30Yeah.
12:32Although...
12:35What?
12:36I've always thought there's more between heaven and earth
12:40than any of us ever know about.
12:43Aye.
12:48Was that candle on that table before?
13:01Have they turned up?
13:02No, they haven't.
13:03You don't have to knock, you know, you can just come in.
13:05Come in!
13:07What happened to Land Rover?
13:09Blew up.
13:10How?
13:11Lightning, electrical fault.
13:13Or someone torched it.
13:15Torched it?
13:16When?
13:17Just after you left.
13:20They were probably lightning.
13:22Well, how are you going to manage without...?
13:23I'll manage.
13:26Robbie thought we should come over.
13:28I'll look for my grandad.
13:30I'll look for my grandad.
13:32I'll look for my grandad.
13:34I'll come over.
13:35I'll look for my grandad.
13:37Did he?
13:38Right, well...
13:40Thanks.
13:41Have you reported it to police?
13:42No.
13:43Is that them?
13:45Is it?
13:48Doesn't look like.
13:51It's Harry.
13:53And Maurice.
13:54My grandad's buddies.
13:55Do you think it's that serious?
13:57Do you think I should report it to the police?
13:59It's up to you.
14:00I'm asking your advice.
14:03You can report it any time you like.
14:05There's a legitimate cause for concern because of his heart condition.
14:08Oh, God.
14:10Do you want to...?
14:19You all right, Mum?
14:20I rang Silly Mugger, but he's not heard out from them either.
14:23Evening, Gillian.
14:24I'm sure there's a perfectly simple explanation.
14:26You'd hope so, wouldn't you?
14:29The cavalry's arrived.
14:32Tell you what...
14:33What?
14:34It's raining.
14:36You all right, Ralph, lad?
14:37Not so bad.
14:39My God.
14:41What's happened to him?
14:42Huh?
14:43You all right, love?
14:45So, what's the latest, Gillian?
14:48I've rung round the hospitals, but...
14:50Of course, that doesn't mean they haven't gone off the side of the road somewhere,
14:53up in Wilds, but...
14:54Nah, that'll be right.
14:56How do you know he hasn't taken her to some hotel somewhere
14:59for a wild night of nudge, nudge, wink, wink?
15:02Yeah, it's all he thinks about.
15:05It's all.
15:06I don't know that, Harry. I just...
15:08I think he'd have rung me.
15:10So, at what stage do we report it to the police?
15:12Well, Robbie's a...
15:13I've told her any time, given his, er...
15:17I thought I'd leave it while 11, and then...
15:19Nah, get him rung.
15:21I don't want to...
15:23overreact.
15:24You don't want to think the worst.
15:26That's the thing.
15:28But, given his...
15:32He'll be grateful, police.
15:34He's probably got bugger all else to do.
15:38Don't look at me like that.
15:40I tell it like it is.
15:41Well, I would, but, you know, he has, on occasion,
15:44been out supping with you lot all hours before now,
15:47then turned up talking gibberish with his trouser legs rolled up
15:50and his coat on inside out.
15:52Yes, well, that was unfortunate.
15:56It were his birthday, what's up with her?
16:01Missing?
16:02No, just not turned up when they were supposed to.
16:06So, well, where do you think they are?
16:08I've got no idea, nobody does, that's the...
16:11Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Kate, I'm just...
16:14Wound up? Course you are.
16:15That's all right.
16:16I'm sure she's absolutely...
16:18Course, course.
16:19She doesn't go out after dark, as a rule, though, that's the thing.
16:23Her eyes open what they were and...
16:26There'll be an explanation.
16:28Listen, ring me if there's anything I can do.
16:31Or if you just want to talk to someone.
16:34What were you ringing me for?
16:36Oh, er...
16:38Doesn't seem so important now.
16:42Just...
16:43You said we should go away.
16:45For the weekend.
16:47Together, somewhere, possibly,
16:50and I wanted to know if you meant it and if you did.
16:54If I should fix something up.
16:58Can we talk about it later?
17:01Yeah, of course.
17:20DOOR OPENS
17:28Hi. Is there any news?
17:30Your mum's today with Robbie, talking to her uniform.
17:33Are you Celia's lass?
17:35Yes, that's, er...
17:37Harry Wallace.
17:38This is Maurice Price.
17:40They're my grandad's pals.
17:42Ah.
17:43I hope your mother's not been leading him astray.
17:45Shut up.
17:46Lassie's worried.
17:48She knows I'm joking.
17:51I understand.
17:53You're a doctor?
17:54I'm a... Yeah.
17:56Is she?
17:58Will you look at my foot?
17:59Put your foot away.
18:01I've got poor circulation.
18:02I'm not a medical doctor.
18:05What then, then?
18:06Er, chemistry.
18:07Chemistry? Can they do that?
18:09Yeah.
18:10Ignore him.
18:11He's a rural.
18:13I've a hernia as well.
18:14I think it's a hernia.
18:15Do you want to have a look?
18:16It's not really my, um...
18:19Do we know what's happening?
18:20There's been no developments.
18:23Why don't you sit down, love?
18:25Ah.
18:30Chemistry?
18:32Martin Thatcher read chemistry at Oxford.
18:35Guess we'll always in a different college.
18:37Yeah, and I'd be apologising, I know.
18:41What's happened?
18:43Nothing, nothing.
18:44It was just...
18:45Well, like I said on the phone,
18:46we decided there was nothing to lose.
18:49Reporting a missing sooner rather than later.
18:52So...
18:54You all right?
18:55Yeah, yeah.
18:56Are you?
18:58Yeah.
18:59Um, they've taken a description and they...
19:02They can...
19:04What are they going to do, Robbie?
19:05We'll check when the bank cards were last used,
19:07when their mobiles were last used.
19:09And then we'll run an AMPR check on their vehicle.
19:11What's that?
19:12Double dutch.
19:13It's like vehicle plate recognition.
19:15We can see where they were last picked up on our cameras.
19:18We can see where they were heading.
19:19So when will we know anything?
19:21As soon as we get authority from upstairs to pursue it.
19:24The lad that we spoke to has gone straight up to seat super, so...
19:27Best thing that we can know...
19:28I said best thing we can do is go home.
19:30They'll ring us when they know out.
19:33Why don't you go home, lads?
19:35I'll ring you if I need you.
19:37If there's any news.
19:38See you.
19:49Hello, this is Celia Dawson. Please leave...
19:58Who is that?
20:00Paul.
20:01Chattery.
20:03He's an idiot.
20:04Paul Chattery?
20:07Is that the bloke you...?
20:08Yeah.
20:09But I didn't do that to him.
20:11I just bruised him.
20:13That was somebody else.
20:15Right.
20:17He's not popular.
20:20So what's...
20:22What's he doing here?
20:23That's a good question.
20:26Don't ask.
20:36What were you doing with that dipstick?
20:38Don't start on me. I've enough on.
20:40I just...
20:41What I do is...
20:43You think I'm gonna be a nun?
20:45No. No.
20:46Eddie's been dead for ten years.
20:48Do you seriously think I haven't slept with other people since then?
20:51I just...
20:52What's it to you?
20:54I'm sorry.
20:57About all the unpleasantness that's been between us.
20:59Unpleasantness?
21:01I'm trying to convince people I've got a screw loose.
21:04I murdered my own husband.
21:06Trying to make Raffy believe that.
21:07I was lashing out.
21:08For ten years?
21:09I'm sorry.
21:11I just think...
21:13You let yourself down.
21:16Bothering with a streak of whatever like him.
21:20You're better than that.
21:22I thought...
21:25After Eddie died...
21:28You, of all people,
21:30would help me.
21:32Support me.
21:35Shit, I was wrong, wasn't I?
21:37Do you think I'm gonna forget what you tried to do to me?
21:40What you put me through?
21:43We could make an all right team.
21:45You, me, and Raff, couldn't we?
21:51Did you torch my lambover?
21:53No.
21:55If the Crestwars did, I would...
21:58I would get them.
22:03That's...
22:06Well...
22:10I'm appreciating the apology, Robbie.
22:22It's fine.
22:27Go to bed.
22:28I'll let you know the second we're here out.
22:31I don't know what any of us can do.
22:34Go shut your eyes at least. You've got school tomorrow.
22:41Hello?
22:42Yes, it is.
22:45Oh, yeah.
22:464.32. Right.
22:50Towards Bradford?
22:52Godley Lane?
22:54He doesn't know anybody over that way.
22:56Hang on a minute.
22:58I saw on camera who their registration number was.
23:01Driving up Godley Lane.
23:03It's the other side of Halifax, towards Bradford.
23:06No further sightings. Right, see you.
23:10They're concentrating on that area round there, initially.
23:14But what is there round there? There's nothing.
23:16There's South Harham Hall, that's about it.
23:18You can get married at South Harham Hall.
23:20What's he said?
23:21He said you can get married at South Harham Hall.
23:24They were looking for a wedding venue.
23:28I see.
23:59Are you and Mum still getting divorced, then, now, or what?
24:02Oh, well, I'm afraid I don't know.
24:06Can't you win a round?
24:08Can't you buy her some flowers or something?
24:11Well, I had almost won a round, I think.
24:15And then...
24:16Don't you blame me.
24:17I wasn't.
24:18I was.
24:19I was.
24:20I was.
24:21I was.
24:22I was.
24:23I was.
24:24I was.
24:25I was.
24:26I was.
24:27I wasn't.
24:28I wasn't.
24:29Although you did get the wrong end of the stick.
24:31Yeah, well, if you hadn't started seeing that bitch in the first place,
24:35there wouldn't be any wrong end of any sticks for anybody to get hold of, would there?
24:39Yeah, fine. Are we really going to argue about this now?
24:41The point is, you're not seeing Judith any more,
24:43so you don't need to get divorced any more.
24:45No, the point is, she can't trust him any more, any further than she can throw him.
24:49So it's not just as naive and dumb as saying,
24:51can't you buy her some flowers?
24:53Piss off!
24:54Yeah, well, grow up!
24:55You grow up!
24:56Calm down! Stop it! Stop it!
24:58We're all worried about Gran, and this isn't a good way to...
25:06I'm sure me and Mum can sort things out.
25:08These things take time, sometimes.
25:11That's all.
25:16And a bit of goodwill.
25:20I'm sorry I inflicted my husband on you the other day.
25:24Oh, well, no, don't apologise.
25:28I'm sorry my son got arrested in front of you all.
25:31By his own...
25:33uncle.
25:34So he, Raph, beat up the bloke that's lying on your couch?
25:39Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
25:42He's Paul. He's...
25:45Well, we're friends, me and Paul,
25:46and Raph got it into his head that we were more than friends,
25:49and he didn't like that, so he...
25:51Then someone else beat him up again?
25:53Yeah. Yeah.
25:56His girlfriend's brother's got wind of what had been said,
25:59and brought a pretty unpleasant lot.
26:05He got broken limbs because of some misunderstanding.
26:12So, has everything settled down?
26:16Then? Now?
26:18Now at your end?
26:19Now at your end?
26:21Or...
26:22Oh.
26:26Me and John.
26:28Yeah.
26:30It's beyond that.
26:35What did he tell you?
26:38Oh, that...
26:41he'd had a fling, and...
26:45Yeah, that he wished he hadn't.
26:47Really?
26:48Mm. And that he wanted just to...
26:52get back with you.
26:54Well, he'd do it again tomorrow if he met someone else he wanted to do it with.
26:58That's how sorry he is.
27:03Are you all right?
27:05I'm tired.
27:08Where the hell are they?
27:10I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
27:12It helps no-one.
27:13No, you're all right. You're worried.
27:15Have a drop of brandy.
27:16Yes, actually.
27:42It wasn't a misunderstanding.
27:44I...
27:47I...
27:50I don't know.
27:52I don't even know why I'm telling you.
27:58I accept that Raph doesn't generally behave like that.
28:01He's...
28:02He's not a thug. He's a grandad.
28:05He's better than I deserve.
28:08He's like my dad.
28:10He's got a big streak of something very decent etched right through him.
28:16And I haven't.
28:19I'm a mess.
28:22Well, you know that.
28:24I put your finger on it the first time you met me.
28:27I shouldn't have said that. It was stupid.
28:29I didn't mean it. It was...
28:33Been, um...
28:39I've been depressed...
28:42for months.
28:44Bottling things up and then...
28:46it comes out and you say things.
28:48Silly, nasty, stupid things.
28:50Things you don't even mean and it's since...
28:55It's since, um...
29:01I feel like I'm only just holding my job down most days and...
29:04and that's, uh...
29:07It's terrifying.
29:10Sorry, you don't need to know that either.
29:23Hello.
29:26They've found a car.
29:27In the car park above Southowern Mall in Connery Wood.
29:31But not them.
29:33Hello?
29:34We're turning a good number of officers out now.
29:36Is there anywhere at all in the vicinity
29:38where you think they're most likely to have gone?
29:42Can I help you?
29:43I'm the curator.
29:44Your sergeant rang me. I got here as soon as I could.
29:46Two pensioners.
29:47Are you the keyholder, sir?
29:48One of them.
29:49I can open up for you. You're more than welcome.
29:51But we weren't open yesterday.
29:53We don't open on a Monday.
29:54We've had no visitors since Sunday.
29:56Can I ask?
29:58Has either of them been depressed at all lately?
30:00No!
30:01Not at all. Completely the opposite.
30:04They're in love with each other.
30:05They've never been happier.
30:23Right, that's it.
30:24Something weird's happening.
30:25Why's the car there and them not in it?
30:27And asking me if either of them's been depressed lately.
30:31They're just trying to rule things out, Gillian.
30:33It's routine.
30:35They're just trying to think of the best way forward.
30:37There's nothing sinister about it.
30:39He doesn't know them like you do.
30:41He's just trying to build up a picture.
30:43He's just doing his job.
30:44Do you want to drive over there?
30:46I wouldn't.
30:47Honestly, you're best off here in Worm.
30:49You're only going to wind yourselves up even more if you go over there.
30:52Let them get on with it.
30:54They know what they're doing.
30:56Stuff like this happens every week.
31:01It's not unusual.
31:02Nine times out of ten, there's a perfectly...
31:05Well, not necessarily a rational explanation, but there's an explanation.
31:10People turn up right as rain.
31:12They're often embarrassed there's been such a fuss.
31:15I just hope he's warm somewhere.
31:18Not out in this.
31:20Why don't I go over there?
31:22I might find somewhere to help.
31:24I can keep you up to date better.
31:26Do you want to?
31:28Yeah.
31:32Okay.
32:03Okay.
32:29Very nice waking up to this every morning.
32:33Well, yeah.
32:35In summer.
32:37Me dad...
32:41was saying,
32:42how would you feel if Celia came to live with us here?
32:45He was just speculating.
32:47I don't think they've made a decision.
32:49And I said I'd be delighted, but I don't know how she'd go on in winter.
32:54Wink and knock you over.
32:56We had eight-foot snowdrifts last year.
33:00No, I can't quite picture milking cows.
33:05I don't have any cows.
33:08I'm just sheep.
33:12I always wanted a farm.
33:15Don't know why. I wasn't born into it.
33:19Was your husband?
33:21God, no.
33:23Biking and boozing were his two big career choices.
33:27For me, it was all wheeling and dealing and finding out.
33:32He liked it. I mean, he loved it, but...
33:37Where is he?
33:39Dead.
33:40Ten years this next time.
33:43What happened?
33:45He smashed his skull with a log splitter.
33:48In the barn.
33:50Jesus.
33:52He bled to death.
33:53Which was just as well.
33:56He'd have had brain damage if he'd survived.
34:00I found him.
34:02That was pleasant.
34:05Was it an accident?
34:08No.
34:13Sorry.
34:18Do you think they're dead?
34:19No.
34:20No, I don't think we should assume that.
34:24He loves her, you know.
34:26So much.
34:28It's beautiful.
34:31Extraordinary.
34:39Whatever has happened,
34:41he'll be looking after her.
34:43I know that.
34:46I'm sorry.
34:47I know.
34:48I know that.
34:50I know.
34:56It's bothered me, though,
34:59that thing about my mother
35:01not passing on that message to him
35:04from your mum.
35:09Because, you know, I suppose
35:12you want to be able to think that she'd have been happy for him.
35:17Meeting up with Celia after all this time.
35:21He's been so...
35:25happy.
35:30But maybe she wouldn't have been
35:35if she were jealous enough to stop them getting together in the first place.
35:38Maybe she'd have been really...
35:41She was a teenager when she did that.
35:44She was the same age Raffy's now.
35:47Nobody can hold that against her.
35:48But she deceived him.
35:52All their lives.
35:55And he's only just found out.
35:57And I think it's upset him.
36:01He hasn't said out.
36:02No.
36:05If your dad hadn't married your mum,
36:08and my mum hadn't married my dad,
36:09neither of us would be here, so...
36:11Or we could have been sisters.
36:12Yeah, well, that would have been a...
36:14Disaster.
36:17I think we should be very grateful to your mum on the quiet
36:19for doing what she did.
36:22Yeah.
36:23Your parents were happy, weren't they?
36:25Yeah, yeah.
36:26Well, then.
36:27They always seemed to be.
36:30Weren't yours?
36:32Well,
36:34that's what's to what.
36:37She's suddenly such a different person
36:38to the one I've known for the last 45 years.
36:43Suddenly like she's alive.
36:45Like I've never seen her before.
36:47Yeah.
37:03Hey, Celia.
37:05Celia!
37:08All up in sleep.
37:09Shh, shh, shh.
37:14What time is it?
37:15It's almost 20 to eight.
37:17Oh, it's never...
37:19It is.
37:22Oh, I'm stiff.
37:25Come on.
37:27Are you all right?
37:30I think so.
37:32Are you?
37:34I've no idea.
37:35I've no idea.
37:41I'm sure I shut that door
37:43before we got back into bed.
37:48Oh, let's get out of here.
37:55I'm not optimistic.
37:57Both in their 70s, out all night.
37:59Hello.
38:01We've been shut in.
38:02But...
38:03Are you in charge?
38:04We took some chocolate.
38:05We had to.
38:06I've left a five pound note by the till.
38:09Are you all right?
38:10And I made the bed.
38:11You should have rung for help.
38:12We couldn't make it work.
38:13And you can't get a signal on mobile.
38:15You have to ring nine for an outside line.
38:17Well, you should have it written by the phone
38:19on a bit of card,
38:20then folk would know.
38:21We weren't open yesterday.
38:22That door was.
38:24We had a delivery.
38:25About half past four-ish.
38:27Oh, my God.
38:28Well, we waited to buy tickets.
38:30Only nobody came,
38:31so we wandered through there
38:32looking for somebody.
38:33Yeah, and then we heard the door slam.
38:35And that was that.
38:36I'm amazed we didn't set alarm off.
38:41Oh, bloody hell.
38:43You couldn't get us an outside line right now, could you?
38:46Only there'd be people wondering where the heck we are.
38:48Yeah, there are.
38:50Half of West Yorkshire police are out looking for you.
38:57What are you going to do about work?
38:58I've spoken to the deputy head
39:00so they can keep things afloat without me
39:01for as long as, um...
39:03I thought we'd know something by now.
39:06How are the boys?
39:07I'm not sending Lawrence to school.
39:09William's not got any exams today anyway,
39:11but neither of them slept a wink.
39:12Well, none of us have.
39:13It's fine.
39:14PHONE RINGS
39:15Fine.
39:17Hello?
39:18Grandad.
39:19Oh, my God!
39:20But... But you're both all right?
39:22Oh, Mrs... Doctor.
39:24Caroline's here.
39:25She's been here all night.
39:26She's there. Can I talk to her?
39:27She wants to talk to Celia.
39:29Mum?
39:31Gillian?
39:32Mum?
39:33Gillian!
39:34Gillian!
39:36They're fine.
39:37They're fine. They're absolutely fine.
39:39They got shut inside South Harham Hall.
39:41They've been playing cards and eating chocolates.
39:43Shutting?
39:44Yeah.
39:45Didn't police think to look in there first?
39:52I will kill him!
39:54Don't!
39:57Only he could go get it himself.
40:00You know?
40:23OK, so, school.
40:25Mum says you don't have to go,
40:26so I suggest bed, day off, Xbox possibly.
40:29Yes!
40:30Go for it.
40:31Not you, obviously.
40:32You have to revise.
40:33I, sadly, have to go to the supermarket.
40:46Argh!
40:47You'd be better off upstairs.
40:49Ants at way.
40:50You sleep.
40:51Ants at tea.
40:52Hide your car at the barn,
40:54if anybody comes looking for you.
40:56No, no, no, no, no.
41:00I'll tell them they're not here.
41:03OK?
41:07Argh!
41:11OK.
41:14Right.
41:15You keep it quiet
41:18till I've had a chance to explain to me dad
41:20what the bloody hell you're doing here.
41:22Then...
41:23Get out.
41:24Well, I have.
41:25I don't want any vulgar comments
41:28of any description in front of Celia.
41:31Is that absolutely understood?
41:33Cos you'll be out on your arse if you do,
41:35faster than you can say compound fracture.
41:37Now, is there anything I've said you're having trouble with?
41:41Have you got me painkillers?
41:44I'll get you some water.
41:47I wish I'd have thought to stick him in here sooner.
41:50Mum, they're here!
41:54SHE SIGHS
42:00What happened?
42:01Oh, fuck off!
42:03You all right?
42:04Shouldn't you be at work?
42:05Yeah.
42:06Hey, whose car's that?
42:08Well, we had a full house here last night
42:10trying to work out where the hell you were.
42:12Is that Alan?
42:13Hit by lightning.
42:14You all right?
42:15I'm stiff, cold and muzzy-headed.
42:17I hope police gave whoever locked you in a rocket up there.
42:21Oh, that's guaranteed.
42:22We thought you'd be locked in.
42:24Yeah, that's what I did.
42:25Are you hungry?
42:26Oh, a nice cup of tea with a bit of sugar, I think.
42:29Oh, we can do tea!
42:30And he needs his pills.
42:32Yeah, whose car did you say that was?
42:34Oh, it's, um...
42:35It's Paul... Paul Chattery's.
42:37Paul Chattery?
42:38Yeah, um...
42:39Yeah, he's...
42:41I'll get Kettle on.
42:43How do you feel?
42:44Oh, like puke warmed up, to quote our Lawrence.
42:52Hi.
42:54Ah.
42:55Sorry about this.
43:01Two months' rent.
43:03You really are very kind.
43:07John?
43:08Are you all right?
43:10Oh, I didn't get much sleep last night.
43:12God, I didn't mean for you to get panicky.
43:15I'm not blackmailing you.
43:17My mother-in-law went missing.
43:19Oh, is she...?
43:20Fine. She's fine. She's absolutely fine.
43:22Oh, well, that's...
43:25..good.
43:26I was thinking of asking Tim Hoskins
43:29if I could have my old job back at the university library.
43:33Judith, it was Tim Hoskins who asked you to leave.
43:36Yes, I know.
43:37But I thought if you could put a word in for me,
43:41if you told him that I'm getting better and that I'm dealing with it...
43:45I imagine he's replaced you by now.
43:47Yes, but next time there's a vacancy.
43:49Judith, no.
43:51I'm going to tell Caroline that I've given you that money, all right?
43:54And please, don't ask me for any more.
43:56I think it's regards employment.
43:58You're going to have to set your sights on something more realistic.
44:01More realistic? Read Menial?
44:04And you were going to introduce me to your publisher.
44:07Have you got anything finished to show him?
44:09I've written another chapter. That's four.
44:11Judith, I've explained this. No-one's going to publish a few chapters.
44:14I know that!
44:17And no-one's going to advance you some money on the strength of them.
44:20Again, we come back to living in the real world.
44:22What? You're a patronising...
44:24No, Judith, I'm telling it to you like it is.
44:26It's possibly time someone did.
44:29You used to say I had a potential as a novelist.
44:31Yes, I did. You still have to put the hours in.
44:34You still have to stay sober long enough to actually get it down in black and white.
44:38You can't make a career and a living out of potential.
44:41You've got to take it to the next level.
44:43If you ever understand what I'm saying and simply got on with it,
44:46you'd probably thank me in the end, as it is.
44:48Piss off! Exactly.
44:51If... If I ever did think you were genuinely making an effort,
44:55I hope... I hope I would help you.
44:58As it is, that's it now.
45:01And we should, Sue.
45:03I mean, you lot have been worried out of your minds.
45:06Me and Alan's traumatised.
45:08It's negligent.
45:10But they've offered you the venue, free of charge, for the wedding.
45:13Mm-hm.
45:15Well, you can't accept it.
45:17I can't accept it.
45:19I can't accept it.
45:21I can't accept it.
45:23I can't accept it.
45:25I can't accept it.
45:27They've offered you the venue, free of charge, for the wedding.
45:30Mm-hm.
45:32Well, you can't accept that and Sue them, can you?
45:35Well, no.
45:37And it is very classy.
45:41There can't be so many who can afford to get married there.
45:44And it would be one in the eye for the church.
45:47We got turned down.
45:49I tell you. I mean, can you believe it?
45:52For hours, me and Alan have sat suffering in that church
45:55and now we don't even qualify to get wed in it.
45:58It's criminal.
46:04You've been having a fling with Paul Chattery?
46:07Can you believe it?
46:09He's only 15!
46:11No, Dad, that would be illegal.
46:13He's 22.
46:15Yeah, and you're 45. Have you looked in the mirror lately?
46:18It wasn't a fling, it was just...
46:20And it's not funny, it's a mess.
46:22That's why Clever Beggar got arrested.
46:24And then his... Paul's girlfriend got wind of it and her...
46:27He's got a girlfriend. He's engaged to Neil Cresswell's lass.
46:30Her brothers have done him over even worse.
46:32I mean, a hell of a lot worse.
46:34And then there's my lamb.
46:36That's why he's upstairs in my bed with a broken leg, a bust jaw,
46:39three cracked ribs and the fingers on one hand all smashed to...
46:43..buggery.
46:45Can you believe it?
46:47He's got nowhere else to go.
46:49She always did pick him.
46:51It's clear to him he hasn't to do or say
46:54anything crude or provocative in front of C.D.O, is it?
46:57I don't think he will.
46:59He's not capable at the minute.
47:01No, there's your abs.
47:03Don't say that, Grandad. Tell her to chuck him out.
47:05You're not really stopping with Robbie.
47:07Well...
47:09Well, why would I want to be here?
47:11I don't mind her having a boyfriend, but why can't she pick on somebody
47:14who, A, isn't a dickhead, B, isn't 300 years younger than she is
47:17and, C, wasn't engaged to somebody else?
47:20I'm not perfect. I'm amazed this is news to you.
47:23Have I ever claimed to be?
47:32A fellow that's engaged!
47:35Yes, all right! Don't crucify me.
47:40Are you all right?
47:44I might pop down to surgery in the next few days.
47:48Er, make a little appointment, just to have a little check-up.
47:52Are you? No, it's loud.
47:54It's a twinge. Once or twice last night.
47:57I'll ring up now. No, I'll ring. I'll ring.
48:00I'll wait while it's quieter. Dad?
48:03It's loud. It's stress.
48:06Last night, it was stressful.
48:09I'm fine. I am.
48:12I've never been happier.
48:16That's better than any medicine.
48:18You didn't have your pills on you last night, did you? No.
48:22But I've taken them now.
48:24When will you learn? You've got to take them with you, wherever you go.
48:27Especially now, with all these shenanigans you've started getting up to.
48:31Right, I will, I will. Promise me. I promise.
48:34And bugger popping down in the next few days.
48:36You ring in now, as soon as everyone's gone. Right.
48:39No, right, as in... Yeah, right, as in right.
48:43Sorry to interrupt. I'm going to get off.
48:46I ought to try and get into work this afternoon.
48:49I'll look after him.
48:51You take care of yourself. Yeah, I will.
48:54And you.
49:03Don't be depressed.
49:05It's a waste of time, so just move on.
49:09It's easier said than done, I know.
49:12Good luck with them. Yeah, well, we'll see.
49:22Drive safely.
49:34I'll drop him off at school.
49:36You'll be able to stay awake.
49:42Thank you, Robbie.
50:06You're welcome.
50:36You're welcome.
51:07I'm running you a nice hot bath.
51:09Oh!
51:11Yeah, I've put you some bubbles in.
51:13Do you like bubbles? I love bubbles.
51:16It'll warm you through. It will.
51:18Well, I say a nice hot bath, it generally takes an half an hour to fill,
51:22but it'll warm you through.
51:24It'll warm you through.
51:26It'll warm you through.
51:28It'll warm you through.
51:30It'll warm you through.
51:32It'll warm you through.
51:34A nice hot bath, it generally takes an half an hour to fill,
51:37by which time it's slightly cooler, but...
51:40It'll be lovely.
51:42And we've got plenty towels. Good.
51:44I'll put you two over at radiator
51:46and I'll set you up a little radio next at bath.
51:49I'll put it on radio two.
51:51It is radio two you might.
51:53I love radio two.
51:55Can I make you some more tea?
51:57No! I'm all teed out.
52:00I'll make you a nice pot of coffee.
52:02You can step out of the bath and have a cup of hot coffee.
52:06You're spoiling me.
52:08Yeah, well...
52:10that's the plan.
52:12So you'd better get used to it,
52:14Mrs Buttershaw.
52:17Because that's the way it's going to be from now on.
52:28Hi.
52:32Phew!
52:50Hi.
52:52Hi.
52:53You must be exhausted.
52:55Have you sent the boys to school?
52:57No, they're both asleep in front of the telly.
52:59How's Celia?
53:00A bit, I don't know, wobbly.
53:03Shocked, probably.
53:05She wanted to stay over there, so...
53:08It's a weird thing to happen.
53:10Can I make you some coffee?
53:17No, thank you.
53:19I'm going to go to sleep for a bit, then I might...
53:22try and go into work.
53:24Surely no-one's going to expect you in today.
53:27Could I...
53:28What?
53:29I wanted to say something, tell you something.
53:32What?
53:49I hate what's gone wrong between us.
53:51I don't know if you're ever going to forgive me,
53:53but I made this deal with myself
53:55that I would never lie to you ever again,
53:58or deceive you in any way, shape or form,
54:01in the hope that one day you would possibly...
54:06So I want you to know that purely because I felt responsible,
54:10guilty, God knows,
54:12sorry for her,
54:14because she's so...
54:16pathetic,
54:18I lent... gave...
54:20Judith some money for her rent.
54:23When?
54:24This morning.
54:25But I've made it clear to her that there's no more where that came from.
54:27And, and I've told her that I'd be telling you all about it.
54:31She rang out begging.
54:34Begging.
54:36She's got almost no...
54:38grasp on the realities of life.
54:41Poor bitch.
54:43I wish she didn't exist.
54:46Which is a terrible thing to say about someone.
54:50I've been thinking.
54:52Yeah?
54:54This can work here. We can be civil, can't we, for the boys?
54:58And like you said, there's room for everyone.
55:01Sure.
55:03So...
55:05I'm seeing someone.
55:09You are?
55:11You? Who?
55:13When?
55:14It's not...
55:15I don't know if it's what I want entirely yet, but...
55:22I won't know if I don't try.
55:25Who?
55:26Someone.
55:27Who?
55:28Doesn't matter.
55:29It matters to me.
55:30I'm not going to tell you who it is, John, so...
55:33Someone at work?
55:34Possibly, possibly not.
55:35It is.
55:36You may think that. I couldn't possibly comment.
55:38Who?
55:39I'm going to bed.
55:40Who?
55:41John!
55:42Who?
55:43That's the deal.
55:44Hang on, I'm not living under the same roof as you while you're having it off with someone else.
55:47Well, you know where the door is.
55:49Are you lying, Caroline? Are you lying?
55:51Well, who is it, then?
55:52No one.
55:53Why is it a secret?
55:54Because I don't want to have to listen to any of your opinions and comments and inane, bloody rubbish.
56:00So it's someone I know?
56:01Maybe, maybe not.
56:03What's going on?
56:04Nothing.
56:05Hi, kids!
56:08What's up?
56:09She's...
56:10What?
56:11Seeing someone.
56:12Mum?
56:13Yes.
56:14Mum?
56:15Yes.
56:16Who?
56:17Some... I don't know.
56:19Does she bother with anyone in particular at school?
56:31No, don't be stupid.
56:34Caroline!
56:38Caroline!
56:40Caroline!
56:41Come on, open the door!
56:44Where have you been?
56:45Where haven't I been?
56:46You're not moving him in here.
56:47I'm glad we talked.
56:48Do you fancy going out for a meal sometime?
56:50You keep having adventures.
56:52We're on silent!
56:54I've been used.
56:55Judith?
56:56Yeah?
56:57Mind where you're...
56:58Oh, come on!
56:59Get your fat teeth off me!
57:00You're not leaving him here!
57:01It's your fault he's in this mess!
57:03Hey!
57:04You're not dead, then?
57:05Have you thought about the best man?
57:07I've never been the best man.
57:09Oh, I haven't a clue where John is.
57:11Celia!
57:12Oh, God.
57:13What's happened?
57:18Oh, God.
57:19Oh, God.
57:20Oh, God.
57:21Oh, God.
57:22Oh, God.
57:23Oh, God.
57:24Oh, God.
57:25Oh, God.
57:26Oh, God.
57:27Oh, God.
57:28Oh, God.
57:29Oh, God.
57:30Oh, God.
57:31Oh, God.
57:32Oh, God.
57:33Oh, God.
57:34Oh, God.
57:35Oh, God.
57:36Oh, God.
57:37Oh, God.
57:38Oh, God.
57:39Oh, God.
57:40Oh, God.
57:41Oh, God.
57:42Oh, God.
57:43Oh, God.
57:44Oh, God.
57:45Oh, God.
57:46Oh, God.
