00:09:47,759 --> 00:09:52,000
Which never got touched.
It's in a savings account, somewhere.

87
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,159
Which accumulated interest because
he didn't need it, because he drew
funds from the flower business.

00:09:57,159 --> 00:10:02,799
I don't know about that. He did!
We never talked about money, Janice!

Um, shall I go?
We COULD do with discussing things
in private. No, you're all right.

You've half a drink left.
If it's other than 50/50,
that's not fair. Well, in fact...

91
00:10:14,519 --> 00:10:21,240
Well, no... You've lived here
rent-free, earning £290 a week
which you've banked for...

Eleven years.

00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:32,159
Or at all, in front of a boyfriend
we've never met.

I'm Trudy's boss, James Mackintosh.

Your dad worked for mine, so I'm
no stranger. One thing I do know.

97
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:45,399
She took out loans to pay for
surgery your dad was never told
about. He'd never have gone private.

He was my father, too. Mack, it's

want - take it! Trudy, don't be so...

And you can't stand that, Janice!

104
00:11:19,919 --> 00:11:24,759
She worked her socks off taking care
of him. You're a bloody disgrace!

at least a week off for bereavement.

00:13:50,879 --> 00:13:57,000
Pamela. Pamela Whittaker!
When he did go, she couldn't say,
she'd lied that often.

132
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,960
She had to work the day they buried
him. She was in the toilets, crying.

Stay here as long as you want.

159
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:17,599
The rest, we split down the middle,
including the work, sorting it out.
You don't know, do you?

160
00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:22,279
How much trouble you're in.
I beg your pardon?

161
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:29,759
Your house - whose name's it in?
Mine. His. Both.
What're you on about?

162
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:37,880
Trevor's used the deeds against some
property thing that's fallen apart.
You're gonna lose it.

163
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:44,839
Where d'you get this? He rang me dad
a fortnight back, asking to borrow
fifteen grand for "an investment".

164
00:17:44,839 --> 00:17:51,880
He didn't want you to know.
Me dad sent him packing. Then he got
his solicitor to credit-check Trevor.

165
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:56,599
He's put the house up as collateral
with the firm that's gone bust.

166
00:17:58,279 --> 00:18:03,839
If you don't know that,
then he's been forging
your signature somewhere.

167
00:18:03,839 --> 00:18:07,440
Why didn't you tell me?
Why didn't Dad?

168
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:14,640
You'd have thought I was saying it to
hurt you, cos I never liked Trevor,
which I'm not. Cos...I love you.

169
00:18:22,039 --> 00:18:26,759
Just...don't rush
into selling this place.

00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,920
Hiya, can you give me 5 minutes?

174
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,240
Thank you.

176
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:41,079
Hello, can I help you? Trudy Graham
for Mr Doylan. Take a seat, please.

177
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,000
 There's someone here to see you.

178
00:19:55,279 --> 00:19:59,039
D'you smoke? No.
So what am I smelling?

179
00:19:59,039 --> 00:20:01,279
Five a day.

180
00:20:01,279 --> 00:20:06,119
Some people use an operation
as an incentive to pack it in.

181
00:20:06,799 --> 00:20:09,720
Which you won't? No. OK.

182
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:17,359
Nervous? A bit.
I'll do the operation first thing,
so you need to get an early night.

183
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:24,039
Do you use sedatives? Am I allowed
a drink? What's your drink? Whisky.
One or two. Nothing after 10pm.

184
00:20:24,039 --> 00:20:27,640
Oh. Right.
I'll need a sedative, then.

185
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:35,079
No, you can't have both. Right.
In that case, I'll stick with the
whisky. You'll be fine, Mrs Graham.

186
00:20:35,079 --> 00:20:37,559
I'll see you in the morning.

It hurts and I'm aching. It just
hurts. It's your own skin stretching
to accommodate the implants...

198
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,960
Well, I can't bring him back, can I?

199
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:32,119
I can't just snap me fingers
and bring him back
and stop it hurting, can I?

200
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:40,440
Temperature? Bit spikey this
afternoon, but more or less settled.
Pain relief? Hasn't requested any.

201
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,680
Mrs Graham, I'm going to prescribe
some analgesics.

202
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:52,680
If you're in this much pain,
you really should've told the nurse.
There's absolutely no need for this.

203
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:57,000
And we'll give you something
to help you relax.

204
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:02,319
I'm not rich. I'm daft enough to pay

squeeze the workers or the tax.

you've got another think coming.

312
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:41,400
Put it in writing on a Termination
Notice, third drawer down...

313
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:48,239
Then watch me take it to a tribunal
and see how far you get
not answering anybody's questions.

314
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:52,599
I haven't told you anything
you didn't already know, Mack.

315
00:35:52,599 --> 00:35:57,280
If you're happy living like that, as
you said, it's nothing to do with me.

316
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:03,239
But I don't understand. I think she's
wrecking your life. You know she is,

317
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:08,599
and you must be a masochist to put up
with it. None of my business. Fine.

318
00:36:08,599 --> 00:36:15,119
I've never asked any questions
cos you've got no answers. Fine!
But I've done nothing wrong!

319
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,880
What's wrong with me
thinking more of you than SHE does?

320
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,280
For your information...

321
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,880
I'm not interested in you.

322
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:34,119
I did this for me.
Years back, maybe, but not now.

323
00:36:34,119 --> 00:36:41,280
You're a walk-over, Mack. Don't you
dare make me feel like a freak
cos I've shown you some respect.

324
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:47,880
That's your problem, not mine.
I'm twice the woman she is.
I know that for a fact.

325
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,519
Come on...

326
00:37:02,519 --> 00:37:05,559
Let's get you in.

327
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,840
SHE CRIES OUT IN PAIN

328
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,320
You're leaking.

329
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,360
Did they give you any dressings?

330
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,039
In me overnight bag, in me bedroom.

331
00:37:26,039 --> 00:37:29,519
KNOCKING

332
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:59,119
The only bloke you know
lets himself be treated like shit -

333
00:37:59,119 --> 00:38:01,679
you bend over backwards for.

334
00:38:01,679 --> 00:38:04,960
What does that make you,
for God's sakes?

335
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:09,599
I just don't understand
why you put up with it.

336
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:18,800
Somebody like would be be
a 100% improvement, if you walked
into my life and changed it for me.

337
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:23,840
But eight, ten hours a day together
for the last eleven years,

338
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:28,639
I have never wished,
for one second, you weren't there.

339
00:38:29,599 --> 00:38:33,320
But I love her. I know you do.

340
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,320
..What do you get back?

341
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:41,800
..More than I'd have if
she wasn't there. How do you KNOW?

342
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,599
Arms down...

343
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,880
And to the left.

344
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,199
CAMERA CLICKS

345
00:39:08,199 --> 00:39:11,599
And turn to the right.

346
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:29,159
There's two. Which? Bloke
at the back. Long-sleeved shirt.

347
00:39:29,159 --> 00:39:33,559
Bloke over to the left
in a short jacket...

348
00:39:33,559 --> 00:39:37,559
This one. Hiya. Hello. Hiya.

349
00:39:37,559 --> 00:39:42,320
They need air conditioning in here.
Can I get you drinks?

350
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,679
We'll sort ourselves out, thanks.

351
00:39:45,639 --> 00:39:51,119
No offence. Just misreading the
signals there. No offence, but yeah.

352
00:40:01,119 --> 00:40:06,039
Is it me, or does everybody walk
faster than they used to?

353
00:40:07,519 --> 00:40:10,519
Men do look. They definitely look.

354
00:40:11,599 --> 00:40:19,039
But your clothes are tighter than
you'd normally wear. Your hair's
done, you've more make-up on... So?

355
00:40:19,039 --> 00:40:23,320
So how d'you know
you've got what you paid for?

356
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:29,960
You could've found a bloke
without going through an operation.
No, I'm not looking for a bloke.

357
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,920
Not a bloke. Not just a bloke.
It's about...

358
00:40:37,119 --> 00:40:40,559
I got stuck on Mack for ages
and it...

359
00:40:41,679 --> 00:40:44,199
Everybody moves on and I stayed put.

360
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,880
Looking awkward cos I was feeling it.

361
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:55,360
Then looking more awkward cos people
got used to it and expected me to.
You don't love him? No!

362
00:40:55,360 --> 00:41:02,719
But I know people think I do, and it
makes me have to behave like somebody
who's been dumped. It gets on me t...

363
00:41:07,079 --> 00:41:11,159
Nobody believes me
if I ever say I'm happy.

364
00:41:14,199 --> 00:41:21,159
I wanted a change, Janice.
Some people can just say "Right!"
and fire off. You always could.

365
00:41:21,159 --> 00:41:23,800
I have to be forced.

366
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,400
Um... Welcome back.

367
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,960
Thank you. D'you feel OK?

368
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,440
I feel great, yeah.

369
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:35,199
PHONE RINGS

370
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:35,199
No. Um...you get yourself settled.
I'll get that.

371
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,159
Hello. Mackintosh Textiles.

372
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,880
Oh, hiya, Trudy.
You're looking well.

373
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,880
Thanks. Nice break? Brilliant.

374
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,840
Pass us a Wagon Wheel, Trude.

375
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,880
What've you done
to your face? Nothing!

376
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,400
Shepherd's pie and veg, Peggy.

377
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,079
Thanks, Trudy.

378
00:43:19,039 --> 00:43:21,760
Twist... Twist.

379
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,800
Sticking. Twist.

380
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,519
Twist.

381
00:43:30,519 --> 00:43:32,480
Bust.

382
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:37,239
What's so funny?
Um, nothing. Come on.

383
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,280
..Well, come on, for God's sake!

384
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:47,280
Who else's been on holiday and come
back with knockers two sizes bigger?
You have, haven't you? So?

385
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:52,719
Right, two quid, all of you! No, I
were on side. You and you. Come on!

386
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:58,039
Chrissy Cavanagh got hers done.
She loved 'em. Did it hurt? Yeah.

387
00:43:58,039 --> 00:44:01,519
You reckon it's worth it? Not yet.

388
00:44:01,519 --> 00:44:06,039
- Glad you did it?
- I think so now. Can you get a loan?

389
00:44:06,039 --> 00:44:11,320
I'd hate that feeling
of something inside you
all the time. In your dreams!

390
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:17,440
Good on you, Trudy! Freda's jealous
cos her tits need a steam iron
before she can get 'em out.

391
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:22,440
Coming for a drink after work? I...
We've a kitty with your name on.

392
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:26,400
I can't. I'm out with me sister.
Twist.

393
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,199
Bust.

394
00:44:30,199 --> 00:44:36,079
Tenner if I guess and I'm right
and I want the God's honest truth.
Tenner?

395
00:44:36,079 --> 00:44:38,519
Are you pregnant?

396
00:44:38,519 --> 00:44:43,840
I could tell,
minute you came back to work.
Go on, I won't say anything.

397
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,199
Twenty. Eh?

398
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,480
I'm having twins!
You're not, are you?

399
00:44:52,519 --> 00:44:55,039
What's funny about that?

400
00:45:10,119 --> 00:45:12,800
They all right? Fine, thank you.

401
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,840
No gags!

402
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:26,039
Hello. ..When did you do all this?
Well, it'll pay the bills, won't it?
Well, it'll pay mine.

403
00:45:26,039 --> 00:45:32,400
And all these businessmen desperate
to avoid divorces were going spare.
£12.50, please.

404
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:36,159
You eaten? Pot Noodle
and dental floss by accident.

405
00:45:36,159 --> 00:45:40,599
Every time I stuck anything in
the mikey, another car pulled up.

406
00:45:40,599 --> 00:45:43,119
Hi. Hiya. Right...

407
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:59,079
Keep 'em out of direct sunlight
and... Smell them! Fabulous. Lovely.

408
00:45:59,079 --> 00:46:04,800
Keep 'em out of direct sunlight,
you'll get another few days
out of these.

409
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:22,800
You know that funny fella that
delivers the flowers - Maurice?
Horace.

410
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:27,800
He said he'd come tomorrow
at about seven. He does. Is he safe?

411
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:34,639
He's normally seven on the dot.
I haven't worked in ten years. An
early start's been Richard and Judy.

412
00:46:34,639 --> 00:46:39,840
Me dad always reckoned he could
charge more, first thing. How come?

413
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:44,440
..God, this's just what I needed.
Thanks, love, I'm famished!

414
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:48,760
He said, and I know he could
talk himself into anything, but...

415
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:54,159
he reckoned blokes buying flowers
first thing
were on their way to work,

416
00:46:54,159 --> 00:47:01,440
so they'd be buying flowers for their
secretaries. They must be having
affairs as they had wedding rings.

417
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:05,920
So he'd bung an extra 50p on
and they were none the wiser.

418
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:10,519
Whereas guys buying last minute
were buying for their wives.

419
00:47:10,519 --> 00:47:13,599
But I'm really crabby
in the mornings.

420
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,559
I've got a date. Not from work?

421
00:47:20,519 --> 00:47:25,840
No. Stationery rep.
We used to see him every other week.

422
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:32,719
He changed firms, so we lost touch.
What did he say? I rang him. Why?
It's something I've never done.

423
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,559
I said "Hiya, Shaun.
Trudy Graham here."

424
00:47:36,559 --> 00:47:41,599
He goes "Wow, I thought you'd lost
me number. Are you changing firms?"

425
00:47:41,599 --> 00:47:49,119
I said "No, but I was wondering
if you weren't busy, if you fancied
a drink one night." He goes...

426
00:47:49,119 --> 00:47:52,679
"Right... Yeah... OK."

427
00:47:54,119 --> 00:47:56,960
Was there a pause, like that? Yeah.

428
00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:04,159
But it doesn't mean a thing if he's
in the car on the mobile and he's
not heard from me for over a year.

429
00:48:04,159 --> 00:48:10,079
I said "..I was thinking Thursday.
Friday, I'm busy.
Weekend, me sister's up."

430
00:48:10,079 --> 00:48:17,599
You must've scared him to death!
Well, he's coming. Picking me up.
You'll have to hide.

431
00:48:17,599 --> 00:48:20,840
THEY GIGGLE

432
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:25,519
How long do you like your rice
boiled for? Fifteen minutes.

433
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:38,440
'You can't have
thought this through.'

434
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,960
I... If I don't go now,
I NEVER will!

435
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:45,559
Oh, for God's sake!
You got any others?

436
00:48:45,559 --> 00:48:49,079
Mack's never hit you.
Don't give me that.

437
00:48:49,079 --> 00:48:52,800
I wouldn't have cared.
At least he'd have reacted.

438
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:58,719
Have you been to the solicitor's?
Working for who? Katherine! AND?
They won't say.

439
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:05,360
Mack's wife's left him. She owns
the building, she's having it bound,
that's all I know.

440
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:10,800
We need to know
what you're thinking, Mack.
People are getting scared.

441
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,920
She never wanted me...

442
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:19,280
Why don't you want it better?
What's wrong with you?

443
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:27,320
This building will be closed
from 6.30 tonight.

444
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:45,519
