00:00:19,341 --> 00:00:21,341
I got you some breakfast.

2
00:00:24,861 --> 00:00:27,341
I heard you last night,
poking around.

3
00:00:28,661 --> 00:00:30,141
Looking for stuff to nick.

4
00:00:33,661 --> 00:00:35,941
I don't know
what you're talking about.

5
00:00:35,981 --> 00:00:38,381
I just want to go home.

6
00:00:38,421 --> 00:00:40,261
I don't know why they put me
in here.

7
00:00:40,301 --> 00:00:41,621
This is your home, Dad.

8
00:00:45,301 --> 00:00:48,901
Our road, our car outside,
same view we've always had.

9
00:00:48,941 --> 00:00:50,861
Trust me.

10
00:00:50,901 --> 00:00:53,021
This house is very similar
in certain respects,

11
00:00:53,061 --> 00:00:55,181
I'll grant you that.

12
00:00:55,221 --> 00:00:57,221
But this definitely isn't
my bedroom.

13
00:00:59,061 --> 00:01:01,341
I've been here five or six days now.

14
00:01:02,701 --> 00:01:06,581
But what I'd really like would be
to be at home again for me birthday.

15
00:01:06,621 --> 00:01:08,621
See Adrian and the girls.

17
00:01:12,381 --> 00:01:14,821
And don't go looking around
for anything.

18
00:01:15,941 --> 00:01:19,301
I've got all my valuables hidden
away where you can't find them.

19
00:01:23,021 --> 00:01:26,581
'Hi, Uncle Russell.
Look what I made.'  Hi, Soph.

20
00:01:26,621 --> 00:01:29,181
Yeah, it's very nice.

21
00:01:30,901 --> 00:01:33,181
I'm sure he's got it, Adrian.

22
00:01:33,221 --> 00:01:34,701
'Take his temperature.

00:01:34,741 --> 00:01:36,821

25
00:01:39,941 --> 00:01:42,301
You know, the usual.

26
00:01:42,341 --> 00:01:44,461

'It was never gonna be easy,
Russell.

28
00:01:49,901 --> 00:01:51,861
'You're just gonna
have to give him some time.'

29
00:01:51,901 --> 00:01:54,701

would at least try and forgive you.

about things.'

00:02:14,181 --> 00:02:15,981
Yeah, tell me about it.

36
00:02:16,021 --> 00:02:17,981
He keeps saying
he's in someone else's house,

37
00:02:18,021 --> 00:02:20,261

he doesn't know.

What am I supposed to do?

You know, I ain't got the first clue
how to look after him.

I don't want to catch it, do I?

49
00:02:56,741 --> 00:02:58,541
Come on, I've got to
take your temperature.

50
00:03:01,461 --> 00:03:03,261
That's a turkey probe.

51
00:03:03,301 --> 00:03:04,901
Well, you didn't have
a thermometer,

52
00:03:04,941 --> 00:03:06,341
so this was the next best thing.

53
00:03:08,221 --> 00:03:09,781
Where are you gonna put it?

54
00:03:09,821 --> 00:03:11,461
Under your tongue!

You always were a bad liar,
that's your problem.

63
00:03:54,821 --> 00:03:57,661
You can't even do that well.
All right, it's a bit high.

We're gonna have to get it down.
Happy?

65
00:04:01,181 --> 00:04:04,141
Why don't you have a shower?
You said you'd been sweating a lot.

Yeah, I think I will.

I've just seen the old man's
meat and two veg

The image is burned in my memory.

79
00:05:05,781 --> 00:05:08,421
I managed to get through
to his GP's surgery

80
00:05:08,461 --> 00:05:11,141
and they said that if he's breathing
more than 20 breaths a minute

81
00:05:11,181 --> 00:05:12,501
then that's in the danger zone,

82

19.

and not just me running
up and down the stairs all day

86

98
00:05:50,861 --> 00:05:53,181
I feel like I'm dragging him down
a little bit more.

99
00:05:55,581 --> 00:05:57,621
He's gonna have to find
some fight from somewhere

and...

I said, "Russell, we were there!"

00:08:23,821 --> 00:08:25,581
He still lies to me now.

137
00:08:27,421 --> 00:08:30,221
I suppose it just became
second nature.

138
00:08:32,541 --> 00:08:35,021
I knew where it was going
with the drugs,

139
00:08:35,061 --> 00:08:38,261
and then the thieving,
so he could buy more.

140
00:08:41,781 --> 00:08:43,421
You know, I tried to help him.

141

And you did, too, and your mum,
we all did.

No.

No, he was beyond help.

I'm ashamed to be seen with him.

00:09:01,301 --> 00:09:03,581

I know.

I feel like the neighbours
don't wanna know us anymore.

I'm glad your mum's not here.

I thought you needed cheering up,

that it's your birthday,

156
00:10:33,661 --> 00:10:36,021
and that you've been really ill
with the virus.

157
00:10:40,021 --> 00:10:42,621
And they're gonna show you that
they do all still care about you.

00:10:46,181 --> 00:10:47,381

your bullshit.

00:13:04,261 --> 00:13:05,621
How you feeling this morning?

179
00:13:05,661 --> 00:13:08,621
I've still got the cough
and this rotten sore throat,

180
00:13:08,661 --> 00:13:10,661
but yeah, a bit better.

181
00:13:11,781 --> 00:13:13,941
That's good.

182
00:13:13,981 --> 00:13:16,061
Th... That's really good,
that's great.

183
00:13:17,141 --> 00:13:20,221
You should have seen them all
last night outside,

184
00:13:20,261 --> 00:13:22,421
wishing me happy birthday.

185
00:13:22,461 --> 00:13:24,261
Well, they always did
look up to you and Mum.

186
00:13:26,301 --> 00:13:28,301
Do you fancy some breakfast?
Yeah, yeah.

187
00:13:30,141 --> 00:13:32,341
Russell?
Yes, Dad?

188
00:13:32,381 --> 00:13:34,621
I think Adrian's abandoned me here.

189
00:13:36,421 --> 00:13:38,341
So I'm relying on you now, mate.

190
00:13:39,381 --> 00:13:41,381
OK.
