Holly and Jake, our KPs and
life-savers. Hey. All right?
When you coming round? I don't see
you any more outside this gaff.
You shouldn't be drinking with your
medication. It's only a few bevvies.
You should talk to Carly, you know.
What would I want to
talk to her for?
Yous all used to work for me. I've
seen yous playing happy families.
They didn't think
we were worth their investment,
and they said we'd be lucky to still
be open in six months.
Find yourself a new sous-chef.
The sous-chef job? I've been doing
it for a while now and I thought,
instead of you getting someone else
in, I could just do it.
His key skills need a little TLC,
so can you look after him
tonight for me?
You want me to hold his hand
and wipe his arse?
My name's Emily
and I'm an alcoholic.
Would you be my sponsor?
I'd love that.
They look beautiful,
they're perfect,
but you need to pick up the pace.
A mess, Emily, honestly!
Hey, calm down!
He's cutting himself. You need to
get in there. Cutting?
What do you mean he's cutting
himself? Get in the door, Johnny!
HE GROANS
It's my Jamie!
Tonight has
..has been a very tough shift.
Wakey, wakey, Jakey.
Oi. Hmm?
We're here. Oh, shit.
Hey, you look knack. Come on,
let's just I'll take you home.
Nah, it's cool. It's cool, it's

fabulous opportunity.

Here we go.
Camille.
There you go, my dear.
Thank you very much.
You are welcome very much.
And one for Big Boy Bolton.
Oh, I'm full, me, lad. Don't worry
about it. You sure?
Yeah, it looks It looks
all right, though.
Oh, it looks all right?
This is so good.
I'm not saying we have to start
doing them.
I'm saying let's just do it this
one time, give it a chance.
You know, just a few swaps of the
menu that we already have. Liam!
It doesn't have to be
complicated, Carly.
It does, actually. And it's a big
cash injection, isn't it? No.
Which is great.
Which is great, Liam. Yeah.
I get what you're trying to do.
Thank you.
But I just need you to understand,
we are open every single day.
I know, Carly. You want me to change
our entire menu for one night?
I know, but it's my brother's
friend and he's been let down.
Their wedding venue flooded.
It would help them out.
A lot of important people
are going to be in that room
Which is why we need
to get it right,
because it's Point North's
name on the line.
It's an opportunity to impress a lot
of people,
which we will with your food.
We're already stretched.
We're a pastry chef down.
How is he, by the way? Jamie?
Yeah, yeah, he's, um He's
Emily says he's doing well.
And she's coping all right
on her own?
What?
I'm not getting rid of Jamie.
We agreed when you got your new
sous-chef, someone would go.
You undercut your staff, you cause
problems in the kitchen.
It's going to impact on everything.
It's
Just leave it with me, all right?
I'm I
I hear you. I-I do.
Hey! How we doing? Boss!
Good to see you. Good to see you.
Is our new sous-chef happy?
Yeah, doing great. Here, I got
a little special one for you here,
a little family meal for everyone.
What's this?
Hey! A special one for you.
Looks delicious.
There you go. Here, let me try
a bit of yours.
- SHE GASPS
- That is delicious.
Chef, congratulations.
That's absolutely fantastic.
We should be getting that on
the menu. Thank you. Very Northern!
Well, it's got
Northern Northern ingredients.
Right, I'll see you all tomorrow.
All smiles for
the happy couple, please. Ugh.
What does he mean by happy couple?
Oh, ignore him. He's trying to get
us to do a wedding.
Oh, sound. We're doing catering?
That's, um
That's a step up for us, innit?
No, we're not. We're not? OK, sound.
Wait, no, no. No, listen.
I've catered weddings before.
A couple of years I did it.
Good money. Quick money.
Yeah. It's not that. Look, it's
for this mate of his
who's had their venue fall through.
It would be in a month.
Like, it's crazy.
In a month? With this team?
We can do it.
Look, this weekend, how about I
whip up some sample menus, OK?
Give them to you next week.
You can go from there.
See if you still want to do that.
Yeah? Yeah. A month is plenty of
time. Trust me.
OK. I'll have a look. I'll see.
Just Just check it out, OK?
Bolton, can you please clean up
the section?
Holly, can you help me get the
deliveries, please? Want me to keep
this warm for you, Chef? I'll do
that when I'm back in a sec.
Holly, it's sound, I'll do it, mate.
Don't worry about it.
She's cute, huh?
Yeah, she's She's gay, mate.
Oh, that sucks.
There we go. How's that?
No, no, no. No. Just Just take
two and come back.
Why? I can do it, Chef. Look.
No, you can't do it.
You look ridiculous. But
Why are you arguing with me?
Put them down. Take two, come back.
Look what you've done
to that lamb now.
Sorry. I got it, I got it.
Sorry. Sorry, Chef.
Watch your thumbs,
watch your thumbs.
Yes.
It's funny.
I mean, it's common sense, no?
You would think. You would think.
Can you just finish those
two off for me?
Excited about your first
squab, then, lad?
Yeah, I am, you know? Yeah?
I mean, it's looking good.
Looking good, lad, yeah,
I feel like a proud mother.

Half the time it's doesn't even
really matter,
you just do something,
shake some stuff around
and then give 'em a cocktail.
And last but not least, the pork.
With the sauce on the side. With the
sauce on the side, yes, yes.
Is that it? Yeah.
Thank you. Thank you, thank you.
I'll be impressed

How's your day been?
Yeah, it's fine, thanks.

I need you to
be on top of your team.
We've got Musa juggling
plates like he's in a circus,
Robyn hasn't turned up
and we're getting mistaken orders
on a quiet night.
I know, I know
Who was it?
Argh! I'm not going to tell you,
Carly, it's on me. I'll handle it.

All right, Em? Yeah, yeah.
Yes, I'm fine, thanks, Bolton.
What do you think about the new
fella? Yeah. Great.
45-year-old hipster
with, like, platinum blond hair
and, "Ooh, I speak French,
look at me, I'm so cultured, I am."
I quite like him, actually,
Bolton, I think he's all right.
Do you, actually? Yep.
Is there anything else?
I just Yeah, er

just give us a shout, mate, yeah?
Yep, thank you. Will do. All right.
SHE SNIFFLES
Emily?
Oh, God

I've wasted wasted 13 years.
What do you?
I had a drink, Carly.
OK
I had a drink. It's all right.
It's not all right.
I've ruined it.
One drink
and I've messed it all up.
OK. What do you need?

a deep breath for me.
I'm so sorry. No, don't be sorry.

I just feel really lost.
I don't know what to do.
I just feel lost.
Can you just hold me?
Just for a minute, please.

SHE SOBS
Thank you.
Nick, do you mind trying this? Sure.
Mm. Yeah, it's perfect.
Camille? Oui?
Ah.
Plates are good.
Order in.
Two covers, one sweetbread,
one trout, to follow one pork,
one gnocchi, table seven.
Yes, Chef. Yes, Chef. Yes, Chef.
I don't want to do this
..but I am under a huge pressure
here to cut costs.
So, unfortunately, I am going to
have to cut your hours.
Now, I don't want to lose
either of you,
I want to keep you both, so What?
..what I'm proposing is
..that you alternate your shifts.
So it would mean we have one KP
per shift
and, Holly, you'd be in tomorrow,
Jake, you wouldn't,
and then we'd switch back and forth.
Sorry, Carly,
is it because I've been eating
the food? I can
I can No, no, no, no.
Though, you know
I'm really sorry. I mean, hopefully
this will be a temporary measure.
Once things pick up
But you got a new sous-chef?
Yeah, we needed him.
We've been down since Freeman left.
But you don't need KPs? Jake.
No, I-I do need KPs, but I can't
have two of you per shift.
So you cut their hours.
I'm sorry.
Why don't you just get rid of me?
Just get rid of me and give him my
hours - he needs it more than I do.
He can't work seven days a week -
and I can't put
all my eggs in one basket.
This is I want to keep it fair,
and this is fair.
I'm hoping this isn't going to
be for very long.
He's going to hate me.
I'm on I'm literally only here
because of him.
He pulled me out of working for me
Uncle Charlie.
He'll understand, Holly.
OK.
VOICE ECHOES: Hey, also, Jake,
remember I was saying earlier,
yeah, I predict
I predict Yo, Jake?
Yo, Jake?
Just leave him. Leave him.
- BANG
- Whoa!
What's going on there?
Jake!
Jake?!
Jake
you've got two new ones
since last week.
This one's going to court. Jake!
You not paid anything?
You not rang 'em?
Holly, I Literally, even if I
gave you all of my hours this month,
you're not going to be able
to pay that off.
I know.
And Grace has a school trip
next week
that I can't give her the money for.
Well, what you going to
what you going to do?
I've been that kid, you know?
You can't do that to her - I mean,
I'm not going to do that to her.
Yeah.
Hey.
Just hear me out, all right?
Um what about if
..if I just did one of them jobs
for me Uncle Charlie, just one?
A couple of grand,
like, pick something up,
drop something off, one drive, done.
No. Yeah.
No. You're not doing a job
in that shit world again, Holly.
You said you'd left that
life behind you.
How are you going to sort it, then?
I don't know.
I'm not a fucking charity case.
I'm not just going to let you go and
take the money from somewhere
I never said
..and then give it to me.
I never said you was a charity.
How are you going to fix it?
OK, w-what if
OK, what if I came with you?
Right? We go together, we do
the job together. No. Listen. No!
We do the job together No!
..OK? And we split the money No!
..I give some to Grace
I don't need you there, Jake.
What do you want to, like,
protect me?
You've never given a shit before.
Imagine, you - we'd get pulled over
with you there, anyway.
You know? Think about it.
You're earning money
to give to my sister.
Holly, I'm coming with you,
or none of us are going.
I just couldn't tonight.
It's all right.
OK? Yeah.
Saw Darren at church today.
Yep.
Oh, he's such a nice man.
He's a lawyer now.
And, you know, he asked after you.
Here's his number.
No, Mum.

week, why don't you call him?
Look, take it.
CHATTER
You all right? Yeah.
Did you have a good day?
Mm-hm.
What did you do?
Not much. Had maths.
I hate maths.
Me too.
I feel like me head's all over
the place, to be honest with you.
The best thing about being sober
is you get your feelings back.
The worse thing about being sober
is you get your feelings back.
It's not easy being normal, is it?
You learn to navigate the new
normal, Andy, that's all.
I feel like I don't know who he is.
I don't know what I'm doing.
It'll take time.
You've just got to be yourself.
Are you all right?
Yeah. Me, I'm fine.
How's Jamie? He's good, yeah.
He's, er, having counselling,
you know, working
through stuff, he
He's going to be fine.
Are you sure you're all right?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah?
Yes, I'm fine.
PHONE VIBRATES
Hello?
Yeah, I'm sound, yeah.
OK, yeah, sure.
All right, I'll see you then.
OK.
Beth.
From Jones and Sons?
What's she want?
Don't know. She wants to see me,
to have a talk.
What for?
No idea.
Do you reckon she wants me
to go back to work?
Don't know.
Do you think I'm ready?
Do I think you're ready?
I can't answer that, Andy.
You've got a lot going on, love.
Dad! Pass the ball back.
Here!
Nice!
ECHOING: Carly, you don't
understand, I don't give a shit.
Are you going to be all right?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Carly.
Do it quickly, though,
cos we need it now.

Can you fix that? Yeah.
Hi. All right, Beth?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm all right, yeah.
Getting there.
Good. Yeah. And how's Nathan?
He's good.
Yeah? Yeah, he's really good,
thanks. That's nice.
Well, I - I'll just get
straight to it.
So, I just need you
to pop your signature
on these bits of paper.
What's this?
We know you borrowed the money
for this place from Alastair Skye,
and my dad has paid that
back for you.
What do you mean?
He's paid your debt off.
To Alastair.
But your your dad's got no right
getting involved in my business.
Andy, it's not your business.
You were part of the business,
and you've not been here.
My dad's just paid
your debts off for you.
So, all this is,
it's just a legal document
to transfer your shares to me.
So you just need to sign there
..and there
..and then we can all just move on.
Have you seen Carly lately?
No.
Heard she's not doing very well.
I guess taking all of our staff
wasn't enough.
It's times like this
you've just got to separate
the wheat from the chaff.
That's perfect.
Now, we're fully booked again
tonight,
so, I'd better go.
But you look good.
And you're welcome any time.
Right, team briefing in ten. OK.
Yes, boss. Have you got that
prosecco order? Yeah. I have, yeah.
What are we chatting about?
Cos that's not set -
and neither is that
All right, mate?
Andy.
I'm sorry.
No, man, I'm sorry.
You're a good chef.
You're a fucking good chef.
She's lucky to have you.
Take care.
You too, man.

I need the last squab.
Yes, Chef!
We have no more plates.
Johnny, I need new plates!
I need a plate, get me a plate now!
Once in a lifetime
experience, this.
Not everyone gets to do this.
Should think yourself
lucky, really. Eh?
Jake. What?
I'm joking.
At least we're not at work.
Putting up with all that shit.
Yep, and we don't have to worry
about
getting arrested at work either.
We ain't going to get arrested.
We'll be fine.
Just me and you going for a drive.
Holly, there's someone behind us.
Is he flashing me?
Why is he just coming in behind me
when I've just let him go?

How long on table 13?
Few more minutes, Chef.
The salmon.
Oh, that looks great, Camille.
No problem.
Nick, you're running slow.
All right, I just want to get it
perfect, Chef.
Carly, I'm going to need some
help over here, please, love.
Right, shit. I'm coming over.
OK, cool. What do you need?
Table 13, salsify.
Camille, what is this?
Make that again.
What? What's wrong with it?
Few minutes more delay
on table 13, Chef.
Waiting on Camille's salsify.
What?
Camille?
Sorry, Chef.
UNDER BREATH: OK
What the fuck is this, Johnny?
Everything that's been coming
out of the pot wash is dirty.
I don't know what's wrong with it.
Let me see.
All right. Chef, I don't know what
to do with this stuff. Jake's the
one who usually sorts this stuff
out. Can you call him for me?
Cos I called him twice and he's not
answering. Chef
Look, it's fine. You just crack on
by hand. I'm going to call him.
PHONE VIBRATES
Oh, fuck off.
I bet the dishwasher's stuck.

I don't know. I don't know, do I?
I just heard the same as you did.
Fuck sa Manchester! Holly!
Like, I need to be home.
Right, we're going to have
to get fuel. What?
No, we're not getting fuel!
We're going to have to! We can't get
to Manchester on half a tank, Jake!
We can't risk it. There'll be
fucking cameras everywhere!
We need to get rid of this shit.
We need to get rid of this shit.
Yeah, I Fuck the fuel. Do you
think I don't want to?
Do you think I want to keep
it in the back?
Oh, yeah, just go for a
massive drive to Manchester
with that in the boot!
Well, last time I checked, we were
going for a drive round the corner,
not fucking Manchester!
What is in these, sorry?
Oh, the croquettes are good,
aren't they?
It's a Mornay sauce which is made
with a locally produced Cheddar.
It's crumbed and fried.
The salmon is a
wild Scottish salmon tartare,
which has got a secret ingredient
in it,
and if you know what it is, I will,
um give you a free drink.
Hello, sir. How are you?
Welcome to Point North.
You OK?
CHATTER AND LAUGHTER
Sir?
Sir, do you have a booking
with us tonight?
No, you're all right, mate. Huh?
You're all right. OK.
Table ten says they've been waiting
an age on their starters.
Is that true?
An age? I don't think so.
Hey, why not remind them that this
isn't a fast-food restaurant?
Or you can just tell them
it'll be two minutes, OK?
They're trying to come between us,
Nick. I won't stand for it!
Carly, the wedding couple are
delighted. They love the food.
Chef, I'm going to need a hand over
here, please. I'll take anyone.
Anyone with hands. All right.
Bolton, what do you need?
I need more squab and I need some
clean pans as well, please, Chef.
Thank you.
Camille?
Camille!
You know you're holding up
the whole kitchen, right?
I'm working as fast as I can.
Is something wrong with it?
OK.
Hey, was that necessary?
Excuse me? Was that necessary?
What are you doing?
If she can't handle it, she
shouldn't be in the kitchen. Yeah,
and you've being given her shit
all night. If you can't handle it,
you shouldn't be in the kitchen.
Bolton! Back to work.
You've got the head chef working
under you here. Let's go.
Hello, get back to your station.
All right. Please, OK? Yeah, yeah.

All right, all right, everyone
No, shut up!
Just listen to me for a second. OK,
we need to clear this backlog.
So, Nick, can you make some
complimentary hors d'oeuvres?
