01x04 - The Football Match

[bunniefuu]

[Phone rings]

Yeah?

- William, is that you?
- Yeah.

- What are you doing?
- Doing a bit of exercise.

- You wait till you see my pectorals
- [Chuckles]

Yeah? Well, I was wondering
if you fancied picking me up a little earlier?

- What do you mean?
- For the football.

- William?
- Yeah?

Just stop doing that for a minute.

[Panting]

Oh, yeah, that's better.

I guess you've had
enough exercise today, huh?

- How do you mean?
- I 'II try this one more time.

Do you want to come over to mine?

We've got an hour before the football
and the boys are out.

Oh, yeah, right. I see. Yeah.

[Panting]

- You took your time.
- What a beautiful sight.

[Mary giggles]

Chase me.

[Laughs] Stop it!

- [Sighs] I know.
- Bloody hell.

He's got till Monday to put it right.

Speaking of decorating,
can I have your mother's phone number?

[Phone rings]
- Oh, hang on.

Doris, go away.

Sorry. What did you say?

I need Molly's phone number.

And RicK's I haven't thanked them
for doing my front room yet or paid them.

Can we leave that for a bit?
I've had another run-in.

I'm not speaking to her again
till she gets her own place.

- Don't worry, it'll blow over.
[Bed groans]

[Both giggle]

[Phone rings]

Doris, I'm busy. Bye.

So, what do you reckon?

- Is that a pectoral or a breast?
- Mm.

Getting there.
How's the stomach coming along?

- Don't hold it in.
- I'm not.

Not so much a six-pack, more a Party Seven.

Very pale, aren't you?

- I'm fair-skinned.
- No, you're pale. You need some sun.

Lucky I live in London, then.

Why don't you have a couple of sunbeds?

The idea of a tanned undertaker
doesn't seem quite right.

You don't need a tan,
just a bit of color.

Go on. Have a couple.
Make you feel better.

Anything else?

Yeah, actually,
there is something I just...

need to check.

[Phone rings]

If that's Doris, switch her off.

It's Doris.

- Switch her off.
- OK. Mmm.

OK. And again.

[Engine splutters and grinds]

OK. Molly!

Molly! Molly!

[Engine off]

You'll have to walk to work, I'm afraid.
It's knackered

Knackered with a capital N.

Come on, I'll keep you company.

I'm not going. I don't feel like it.

[Sighs] I mean, why bother?

Why go to work? What's the point?

You don't want to be without a home
and a job, do you?

You don't understand, Rick.

I doubt anyone does.

Let's go back up and have a cup of tea.

Come on.

I know what'll get you going.
You stay there.

Look at you, you lady of leisure.

I wish they'd reinstate me.

So how did you...

how did you become a midwife?

Well, I'd kicked their dad out,
the boys were both at school.

I'd just had enough.

My friend was having a baby
and I was lucky enough to be there.

And I saw this midwife helping her.

She was so fantastic.

And I thought...
"That's what I'm going to do."

And I've loved it
ever since the first day of training

I just wish I'd started earlier.

Wasted years.

Come on.

We've got a football match to go to.

You're not really going to wear that tracksuit,
are you?

It's all I've got. What's wrong with it?

[Laughs]

[Phone rings]

- Hello?
[Doorbell rings]

- Oh, hang on.
[Banging at door]

- Open up!
- OK.

The hospital... The hosp...
The hospital want to see you.

- Get your clothes on.
- What are you talking about? No-one called me.

I heard Catherine talking to Alison.
They’re going to call you in.

That's good news.
They're going to reinstate you.

- Why else would they want to see you?
- Maybe they want to sack me.

Try that.

Ta.

Rick...

..when you say the van's knackered, does
that mean you won't be using it for a while?

I can't, can I? I've got to put a new engine in it.

Had you better phone in sick?

Where would you mend it, anywhere special?

Special? No, I'll do it here.

- So you could do it anywhere?
- Mm. I could, yeah.

Would you mind if I slept in it?

It's got all my crap in it.

I can clear it out.

- Course I wouldn't mind, but...
- Good.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Ooh!

You wee devil!
What have you put in that?

[Shouts of encouragement]

MAN: Come on! Move down! Come on!

Look at you. Here, get this on.

Don't matter what it looks like You're freezing.

Go on, son. Go on!

Get it up there.
Knock it down the line! Come on!

Come on! Knock it!

Get it across to Aaron!
Knock it across to Aaron. Come on!

Yes! Great goal, son. Lovely.

[Clapping and cheering]

Ooh, he's a bit good, our Brendan, isn't he?
What's the score?

Where's my mum?

She had to pop into work.
She'll try and turn up later.

Oh, my God. What are you wearing?

- Play up, the Blues. Come on, you Blues!
- Can you stand somewhere else, please?

I like my tracksuit

Why don't you go over there
and enjoy it by yourself?

Come on, the Blues.

Have you promised to obey all the rules
and never be bad again?

- Yes.
- When do you start back?

Tomorrow. Oh...

Listen, I'm on call on Monday night.
Could you have the boys for me?

- I can't, not Monday.
- Oh, OK.

Why don't you ask William? Yeah, ask him.

- Doris, have you got a minute?
- Yep. Go on, ask him.

WOMAN: Mary.
- Hiya.

- Can you tell us what to do?
- Why, what's the matter?

If we haven't started by Monday,
they won't let us have it at home.

- What are you, 40 weeks?
- 40 plus 10.

Stupid rules. I mean, look at that.
What more do you want from a placenta?

Got any tips?

We really want to have this one at home.

- OK, do you like curry?
- No, not much.

Good. Have the hottest vindaloo
you can manage and loads of sex.

What can I say? It helps.

See you later. Bye, Harry.

[Chatter]


know a babe like that?


She lives a couple of streets away.

She's my sort of...
We stay over hers sometimes, innit?

Totty on tap. You jammy b*stard.

Bring her too. She can sit on my lap,

- I don't even think I can come.
- Brendan, you're coming.

- But I start my mocks on Monday.
- Mocks?

Mocks are nothing.

Hi, are you reinstated?

- Reinstated
- Ah! Well done.

- Brendan, great cross, son.
- Cheers, Mr Patterson.

- When am I going to see you, then?
- Dunno, Dad.

I'm going to a mate's house and on to a party.

Behave yourself. Have a good time

Come on, Brendan.
Get your totty and let's get going.

Who are you calling totty?

Hush, little sister.

Brendan...we're waiting.

- Brendan, come on, let's go.
- Hang on, Mum.

Mum, I'm going with them.

- What? Where to?
- They've invited me and Kate to a party.

What? Oh, no, no. Don't even ask about it.

MARY: Brendan, you've got exams on Monday.

Yeah, I know. I've done my revision.

Come on, Mum,
how often do I get to go to a party?

OK, your choice. it's up to you. Go if you want.

Mum, don't be like that.

You said you'd help Terence with his homework,
which you won't if you go to a party,

Are you coming or what, Brendan?

- You'll be letting him down, not me.
[Engine revs and horn beeps]

Bollocks!

- Brendan.
- I ain't coming, am I.

Never mind, Brendan.

Bedtime, Brendan!

Ooh, what a lovely pair of jugs,

[Lads chuckle]

Well, this is nice.

[Silence]

I'm so glad I had children, aren't you, Mary'?

I certainly am.
They're such good company, don't you find?

- Dad.
- Yes, shut up, Dad.

Where are you going?

Yeah. Good idea.

Well, I'm not staying here on my own.

BRENDAN:
I really wanted to go to that party.

- Shall we drink to your reinstatement?
- Yeah.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Yeah, but it comes with a problem.
I'm back on call on Monday night, and um...

- I was wondering...
- Yeah, great.

- No problem. it's great.
- What?

You want to bring the boys over
and stay over with us.

Yeah, if that's OK.

That's better than OK.
It's fantastic. Can I tell Kate?

She keeps pestering me
about you lot coming to stay. Kate.

- What?
- Come over here. I want to tell you something.

[Traffic report on radio]

Come on, boys, time to get up.

Monday morning. School.

We're going to William's tonight,
so don't forget your stuff.

- Morning.
- Good morning, gorgeous.

Terence.

Grumpy?

Right. Cos you're fair-skinned
we'll start you off with just two minutes, OK?

Here's your token.

And there's your goggles.

Right, thanks.

Sorry, what do I do?
I've never used a sunbed before.

This is a high-speed, stand-up solarium.

Much better than sunbeds

The instructions are on the wall.
It's dead simple.

Don't forget the goggles.
Ultraviolet´s bad for your eyes.

Right, thanks. Sorry.

- Hi, Tone, you all right?
- Not too bad, thanks.

- I've got a course.
- Yeah.

[Mobile rings]

Good morning, Jane. Could you call me back
in about five minutes? Thanks. Bye.

- Do you want to go first?
- No, it's OK.

I'm going in for 20 minutes, mate. You go.

Oh, right, thanks.

Put a sock on your meat and two veg.
You don't want to burn 'em

OK.

And don't forget your goggles.

Thanks.

[Bleeps and whirs]

Gran!

Gran. What are you doing?

Hot chocolate, anyone?

- Hey, Terence.
- All right, Rick.

- All right, Rick.
- Hey, Brendan. Good to see you.

[Bleeping]

[Mobile rings]

Hi, Jane. Can I call you right back?

Thanks.

Whoo. Makes you a bit dizzy, doesn't it?

Don't know.

Yeah, I suppose it does the first time

Hi, Jane, it's me.

Glengarth Road? That's round the corner
from me. What are their names?

No, I don't recognise them.

Where do they want to meet me?

OK, I'll come back and get the details.
Thanks. Bye.

[Sighs]

Yeah, sorry about the...

Don't think I've ever seen you
out of a suit before.

A brother and sister. 17 and 16.

Vernon and Ida Manning.

And the girl's boyfriend,
Aaron Patterson, also 17.

Car accident Saturday night.

It's in the morning paper. Here.

Oh, dear God.

- Yeah.
- You did know them?

Well, you know, I'd...
I saw them play football with Mary's kids.

Both sets of parents
will meet you at the Mannings' Number 17.

They think they want a joint funeral
for Wednesday.

- That's very soon.
- I've said it might not be possible.

Right. Um... Listen, I'm going to go home
and get changed.

- I'll do that for you.
- Thank you.

Williamm...can we afford this?
It'll be quite expensive, won't it?

Yeah, yeah.

But er...you know.

Autograph there and there, love. Ta.

Don't call me love, please.

Sorry.

Dad, give us a hand.
Some of the bits are missing.

- Where's my stuff going?
- Front room.

Dad, we want these out
by the time the boys get here.

Kate...

Those kids you wanted to go to the party with...
the kids from Glengarth Road.

They died in a car accident on Saturday night.

I have to go and see their parents.

It wouldn't take you five minutes.

[Traffic report on radio]

[Door slams]
BRENDAN: Mum?

Oh, come here.

- Mr Manning?
- Yes, my friend.

- Hello.
- William Shawcross

You're the undertaker?

Yes, I am, sir,
and I'm so sorry for your loss.

For Ida and for Vernon.
So very sorry. I truly am.

Benjamin. Call me Benjamin.

But thank you. Will you walk with me
while I put these with the others?

William.

All these years we say hello
and never known each other's names.

Just waiting for an introduction.

Well, I'm glad it's you.

I don't like cut flowers.

This is Aaron's house.

My daughter's boyfriend.
That's his room there.

His parents are at our place.

Steve and Ella.

Taking it very hard.

Like my Elizabeth.

Especially Steve.

And how about you? How are you?

Well...

..I must be hurting, I guess,

COS...

I've always thought that children
dying before the parents

is the worst it can get.

But right now...

I just feel small.

Infinitesimally small.

Cos I can't be there
for Vernon and Ida any more.

They've gone through that valley without me.

They've outgrown me.

They've gone where we all fear to go.

They know now what none of us know.

And that's humbling for a father.

[Sighs]
The headmaster from the school's here

and you can't move for vicars

But, thank God, Elizabeth has her faith.

Thank you.

RADIO:
The coroner has issued a statement..

You don't have to do this, you know.

I like doing it.

I don't Know why, but when I'm painting
I can never think of nothing else,

Just, you know, missed that bit and that,
or a hair's come off the brush.

RADIO: The South London community
was shocked at the deaths...

[Radio off]

- You don't mind, do you?
- No.

I'm really sorry about your friend.

That's the trouble, Mum. He wasn't my friend.

I didn't like him at all.

A joint funeral was Steve's idea.

Do you want to say why, Steve?

Well...they were all very close,

and we were also thinking a joint funeral
might mean more to all their friends.

Maybe make them feel how fragile things are.

Not that they shouldn't do things, but...

I appreciate how difficult it is for you.

The day after tomorrow is very soon, that's all.
I'm not saying it can't be done.

Yes. We break up at the end of the week,
you see, and Vernon, Ida and Aaron,

they were very popular members of our school.

- And er...
[Child coughs]

Come on, darling, out of here.
Let's go find your auntie

[Child cries]

What I want is for all their friends,

and there'll be many of them,
perhaps even the whole school,

anybody who wants to be there, can be there.

And that there'd be people for them.

Staff, teachers, counselors even.

So that we don't send them off
into half term without some sort of support.

Well, this is very difficult.

I'm sorry,
but before we can say yes to Wednesday

we need the coroner to release
the bodies of Aaron, Ida and Vernon.

Now, hopefully, that'll be today,

but it depends on the postmortems,
on whether anyone else was involved

and whether anything needs investigating.

[Steve coughs]

You were at the football match, weren't you?

Yes, that's right.

My...my Aaron scored, you know.

- I remember.
- Sizing him up, were you? Huh?

Do you know why I bought my son a car?

No, I don't,

I didn't want him to have a motorbike.

You know why I didn't want him
to have a motorbike?

No.

- Cos kids get...
[Phone rings]

..k*lled on bikes.

- I'm holding you up.
- You're not holding anyone up, Ella.

ELLA: it's all taking too long.

ELIZABETH:
We're all crying with you, Ella.

OK. Thanks very much, Jane.

The mortuary will release the bodies
late this afternoon.

So, er...the funeral
is the day after tomorrow, yes?

I'll come by tomorrow and see you both,

if that's all right,

Getting the brochures out now, are you?

- You make a tidy profit out of people like us!
- Steve!

I should have said at the outset,
and I apologise for not doing so,

that my company always has,
and always will have,

a policy of not charging
for the funerals of children and young people.

You can have what you like, Mr Patterson.
There'll be no charge.

Thank you, my friend.

I just want to pay something.

Mr Patterson came by, brought these clothes.

Wants a viewing tomorrow for Aaron.

OK. Engine on.

[Engine splutters and starts]
- Eh, fantastic.

Right, budge over.

Budge over? Why?

Molly, you know what?
This is not what I expected from you.

I always had you down
as a woman of independence.

No, I have A woman of spirit.

- That's what I've always admired about you.
- Is it?

Yeah. I'd have thought you'd have batted this off,
going, "No worries. I don’t need her."

Well, I don't need her.

Exactly, And let's face it,
she's staying at William's all the time,

Yeah.

You're right.

Come on, hop in.

- Yeah?
- Yep.

This is what's called
taking the fight to the enemy.

William's, Drive.

And he even had that stupid hair.

I mean, it looks all right on Freddie Ljungberg,

but if you're Aaron Patterson...
Did you know him much?

Only as the one who drove past
shouting, "Nice t*ts."

He even did it to Julia
and she hasn't got any yet.

- Could have done with your help earlier.
- Yeah?

The trouble with state education
is we have to go to school.

You lot break up a week earlier...

JULIA: Mary! Dad's on the phone.
- ..and go back a week later.

Thanks.

Hey, William. Where are you?

I'm here, at your house.

You said you'd look after the boys.
I'm already on call.

Oh, God, William. This is my first night back.

What do you want me to do?
This father wants to see his son in the morning.

I don't know if we can finish it by then.
I don't know if we can do it.

OK, OK, it's fine.
I'm sorry. Don't worry.

I'll get Doris to swap or something.
There's always some cover.

Mrs Ball? I don't think so.

I'm sure she's very nice, I just...you know.

I've got to go. I've got to call Doris.

I'll see you later.

You mean you're not coming home at all?

All right, then, well, I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah, you too.

Bye.

Man or a mouse?

- Thought you might be hungry.
- Oh-h*! You're one lovely man.

h*-h*-h*!

You all right?

Mm-hm.

Rick...you know what you said to me

about being a...woman of spirit?

Oh, yeah.

- That kept me going all day.
- Has it?

That's good.

Say it again.

[Distant pop music]

And you and me, we could have got in that car.

Yeah, but we didn't.

Maybe...maybe it's because
I've never known anyone who’s died before.

Your mum died in an accident, didn't she?

Yeah. She got knocked down.

It happens to people every day.

That's why I think you should do
what you want, when you want.

As long as it doesn't hurt anyone.

That's what I'm going to do...
when I'm old enough, anyway.

[Door opens]

You, upstairs now. Come on. Bed.

- I can't sleep. I told you,
- We're talking, that's all.

I told you to go to bed an hour ago.
You've got school in the morning. Go.

When I say something, Kate, I mean it.

Let's get that straight, all right?

Bit more. Keep going.

Too far. There.

No, up a bit more. Yes.

There.

What about that bit?

We can bring his hair forward over that.

- Cup of tea, Jane?
- Yep.

[Molly chuckles softly]

[Chuckles] Ooh, Rick!

Ooh. [Giggles]

Ooh.

[Mary moans sleepily]

[Gasps] Oh, your hands are cold.

Where have they been?
What have you been doing with them?

- Ssh
- Shush, yourself.

It's cold outside, that's all.

Well...warm them up, then.

- Morning, Mary.
- Hi.

That's what I wanted to say to him:
"You're such a jerk."

Brendan... Oh, sorry.

Yeah, we're just talking again. Sorry.

I hope you don't mind
my dad being here as well.

- Kate?
- No...

it's OK. it's my fault.

- Mum, shouldn't you be at work? it's 8:30.
- Why didn't you wake me?

- We did.
- We've woken you four times.

- Are you in tonight? Can I be on call?
- Yeah, of course.

Mary... also mean what I say.
And you're not my mother, OK?

- Excuse me, please, Mary.
- Oh, sorry.

Thank you.

I only played in that team once.

He only spoke to me once.

But...

I just can't stop thinking about him.
I feel bad about him.

- He made an impression.
- Yeah, but he was a tosser.

I don't mind tossers, Actually, I quite like them.

Everyone's a tosser to someone, aren't they?

You're not a tosser.

Remind me to tell you about my sunbed

This isn't going to work, Mother.

Wherever you are, I'll be there.

Oh, Jane, can you send these
orders of service back?

I asked for dark blue, not black print.

- Don't take no for an answer.
- I'll do it straight after the viewing.

- Mr Manning's here to see you.
- Thanks.

Benjamin.

They've just registered the deaths.

- You need these, I think.
- Thank you. Yes. Come in.

I'm worried about Steve seeing Aaron.

He's just down the road ordering more flowers.

- Well...
- I had to identify the bodies on Sunday,

you see, and I saw Aaron.

I don't think Steve should see what I saw.

- He's taking this hard.
- I understand.

I had the same thought
when we got the request.

- If he wants to change his mind...
- He doesn't.

- That's the trouble.
- Right.

Well, it's going to be really hard on him.

But I can assure you
that Aaron now looks very peaceful.

There are no signs of what you had to see.

- Sorry.
- Oh, please.

- Why don't you come in and sit down?
- Thank you. No.

Steve wants me to go in with him.

Mary It didn't come.
We have to have it in here.

Oh, never mind.

I tell you what,
even if I'm not here, call me.

- Really?
- Yeah. Absolutely.

Don't ask anyone, just ring me, OK?

I've got some shawls and blankets and stuff,
and we'll just whip out the bed.

Well, you know, it won't be home, but...

Let me have a feel.

Sometime tomorrow, I expect. OK?

- Mm.
- So give me a call.

- Take care.
- Cheers. Bye.

- See you later.
- See you.

Mr Shawcross! Steve's saying
he doesn't want the funerals together.

He wants photos of Vernon and Ida
and Ben won’t let him have them.

- I'm just borrowing them!
- Steve, I'm asking, please!

Steve, they're not yours.

I don't want them out here.
They're the only ones we have

Steve, I don't want them here.
I don't like these shrines.

Look, Steve, I know your sadness.
I know it doubly.

But you have to let other people
feel something as well.

I've lost my only child! You've still got one!

- Steve.
- Mr Patterson.

Sweet Lord, Steve.
You just laid out the undertaken

I'm OK. Is everyone else OK? Are you OK?

It's fine. it's fine.

Why didn't you come straight back?

- Are peas better than sweet corn?
- Why didn't you come straight back?

I had lots to do. This is a big funeral.

Boy, you'll have to wear shades
with a Shiner like that.

KATE: Dad, what's this?

[Phone rings]
- That's Aaron's music for tomorrow.

Don't let me forget it.

Travis?

- You used to like Travis.
- Hello?

You did. Didn't she?

Oh, I see, you're embarrassed
cos the boys are here.

It's not modern enough, is it?

I'm called.

Oh, I'm going to bed, then.

Are you all right? Are you tired?

Dog-tired, but only cos I got
no sleep last night. I'm fine.

Really, I'm fine.

- OK.
- See you.

You don't want that one, do you?

- William.
- How's it going?

Ahead of schedule.

William...the lads came to me.

- No-one's taking pay for this one.
- Oh, no.

- No, no way. No.
- William, they came to me...

I'm not having that!
I bear the costs of this, no-one else.

Everyone gets paid, you hear me?

Why do you do this? I know there are
some firms that only charge cost for children,

but I don't know any that charge nothing.

I do it for Kate and Julia.

Pure superstition.
It's why I have to pay for everything.

Aye.

Good morning, Mr and Mrs Manning.
If you'd like to follow me.

Worth every penny, William.

There but for the grace of God...

If he can do this to these lovely people...

Don't say it. Just in case.

- There's your change.
- Thank you.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

I love you.

I do. I really, really love you.

So how was the funeral?
If you know what I mean.

It was good.

As good as a funeral can be.

Yeah. I had one of the best births
I've ever had.

Lucky, aren't we?

Lucky, lucky people. Let's go home.

Get the kids, get a couple of videos
and take to our room.

Leave your car at the hospital,
I'll take you round there in the morning.

Um...no_

No, thanks. Sorry, I...

I don't want to. Do you mind?

Um...

...well, yeah, I do a bit.

Why?

I don't know, it's...

it's just when you say home
you mean your home.

And it's like my place
doesn't even come into it.

I don't know.
It's just a feeling I've been getting.

- What feeling?
- I don't know.

It's like when Doris said,
"Ask William to have the boys", I...

I had a reaction.

I didn't want to ask you and then I did,
and you were really pleased

and then we went back to your place
and you'd bought new beds.

- Well...
- Anyone else would've...

borrowed a put-me-up or a Lilo or something,

but you actually went out and bought beds.

- Then there's all the decorating.
- The front room?

Yeah, it's like you're...

What, like I'm what?

It's like you're... Well, I don't know.

I mean...what are you doing?

Why did you buy those beds?

Well, I...er...

..I guess I thought that it was a regular thing,

I mean... Well, yeah, I mean,

I guess I thought we were an item.

We're not not an item, William.

So we are an item?

Yeah. Listen, I...

I care about you, I really do care about you.

But I...I just don't want you to make the mistake

of thinking we're about to move in together.

Well, I...

Maybe what you're offering me
is what I want.

I just...l just don't know yet.

So when I say I love you,
that's a mistake as well, isn't it?

No.

Look, that's...that's very nice.
It's lovely, in fact.

Ijust...

think that sometimes you can have
too much of a good thing.

OK.

Look, I just want to go back to my place

and be surrounded by my things and...

and have a bath in my bath and...

..just spend an evening with the boys.

Right.

Please don't mind.

OK.

And you have a nice night too.

Don't go home and mope
Do something with the girls.

- Yeah.
- I'll talk to you tomorrow.

OK?
