And they should be with me.
What the fuck am I doing here? And where is here? Anyone watching thinking we know fuck all about knowing fuck all about owt, needs to watch their back So you've had your labour, reclassifying skunk, sending prices sky-high, literally, literally taking the grass from its own roots! And now you've got your condem nation.
Liberals noshing tories like altar boys picking dimps up! Have we had a national fucking stroke or what?.
Is revolution a word, or was it never?.
Anybody watching needs to know, we cope better than average with irony in chatsworth.
Well, for fuck's sake, we live in manchester, and they charge us for water! I wandered lonely as a clown, necking mushrooms rarely found.
This green and pleasant land in ancient times.
Yak yak yak yak yak yak yak yak yak! It's not theirs any more.
This is our england now.
Paaaarty! This programme contains very strong language from the start, scenes of a sexual nature and violence.
Grinding stay in school, kids.
Don't die of ignorance.
Just say no.
Checkmate! Shane maguire.
Fighting for peace and unity in our community.
'You know, when I was at school, not that I went much, 'they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.
'And I wrote down "jamie maguire".
"They told me I didn't understand the assignment, 'and I told them I did.
'Perfectly.
'You see those that can, do.
'And hose that can't?.
Jog on, knobheads.
' the school contract's too risky, and it's shit money.
Hear him out.
With these, today, saint morrissey's comp.
Tomorrow, every school in a 50-mile radius.
All thanks to this fucking genius.
I directed it.
Pass us those sausages, son.
Pass us those sausages, son.
We already make triple from security jobs for building sites, and they don't bring the police to our door.
Working with kids.
Crb check.
Working with kids.
Crb check.
We've been careful to tell the truth.
Even if we've had to make it up.
Gonna finish that?.
Hot off the counterfeit press.
I've told 'em, we vet our own staff, and it saves them money having to do their own checks.
Who'll be collecting while you're fucking around in schools? Who'll be collecting while you're fucking around in schools? I'll get staff.
Pay is not enough to cover costs for staff, shane.
He's right.
We can't afford it.
Sorry.
What's that in aid of? A new kitchen.
With the wedding money.
With the wedding money.
A new kitchen won't bring frank back.
We don't want him back.
You should've let that beastly monica take the whole clan while you had the chance.
Now we're left living like paupers in this shithole, looking after their kids.
It's madness.
I am making the best of a bad situation.
It's not too late.
You have all that money, don't waste it.
We can leave, buy our own place.
A fresh start.
You and me.
We're getting a new kitchen.
It's my destiny! We're getting a fucking kitchen! Oh, baby, I am sorry to shout.
Oh, baby, I am sorry to shout.
Sponge bath! "Dear timmy, I'm sorry your dirty protest "for our rights to a conjugal didn't work.
Bastards.
"I hope this sexy picture of me murdered like one of your victims, "as requested in you last letter, makes it past the prison guards "and brings you warmth in your lonely isolation.
"Kiss, kiss.
Micky maguire.
" You've not long suffered a major heart attack and, to be blunt, I'm concerned.
When someone's gone through what you have, they can go two ways.
Wrap themselves in cotton wool and live like a nun, or like you, seize the day.
Neither work.
Both end up dead as a dodo.
I've seen it hundreds of times.
Doctors'll tell you if you can't do things in moderation, abstain.
Well, I say fuck that and fuck them.
I can give you a few healthy lifestyle options, give you a good balance, so you're not giving up everything you love.
And by the time I'm done, you'll outlive all of us.
And what qualifies you, like? Healthcare receptionist for ten years.
I'm practically a certified gp.
And I only charge a fiver a sesh.
Duty calls.
Legs in the air time for me, early night for you.
School in the morning.
Nah, it were a shit idea.
Cos jamie said? I can't believe you're even working for him after he fucked you over, fucked us all over.
Now he's got the business, this pub, and he'll probably take everything we've got, if you let him.
Fiancee's jilted me.
Ran off on his stag night, god knows where.
I'm thinking of suing him for breach of promise.
Got to catch the bastard first.
Aren't you hot?.
Hotter than a peppered fart.
Yeah no.
Libby? I need the toilet.
How did you get to be so bold? How do you become so confident?.
So unselfconscious? I'm touching cloth, libby.
I have been living like a fucking stepford wife since the age of five! Hey, eh, eh! Men are like a pack of cards.
You need a heart to love 'em, a diamond to marry 'em, a club to whack 'em, and a spade to bury the fuckers.
Useless pigs.
From now on, my romantic night in will be a bottle of wine for foreplay, and the four-finger boogie to finish me off.
Well, I've found there's only so long I can go without a shag.
You know, a proper shag.
Anyone'd do me.
Especially the new priest at church, father dooley.
Religion's never been so sexy! Who's that?.
Poco, me ex.
He was a scouser.
D'you know him? As fucked up as that question is, I do, as it happens.
He used to sell weed from the back of a caravan, and every time he sold an ounce, he'd go "Buzzin' laughin', toffee apple kidda!" Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Laughing drip the hot wax into the water, and whatever shape it makes will show your heart's desire.
Ah, it's a butterfly.
It looks like a cock! Looks like a minge! Laughter it's only a bit of fun.
Wind blows Ah! # Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone # Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone # all in all it's just another brick in the wall # all in all it's just another brick in the wall school bell rings wait a sec.
I fucking warned you.
Behave! How do you feel about mentoring? There's a year seven pupil - jude kendo.
He's really bright, lots of promise, but he's been having problems.
Lacks confidence, bullied mercilessly.
And? We've got an idea who's targeting him, but jude won't tell.
He could really benefit from someone like you.
There's a small fee available from the mentoring association.
His name's jude? And he's ginger?.
Jude the ginge? Ginger judy? Poor bastard! "Micky, good news.
Parole's been granted.
"By time you get this, I'll be on me way to you.
"I can't wait for us to be united.
"A promise is a promise, and I'm going to bum you paraplegic.
"Love you lots and jelly tots, timmy.
" "Frank, can you hear me? Over.
" Whirring and bleeping whirring and bleeping "come back to me.
Over.
" I'm coming.
Do you want me to pick you up something from the shops on the wayOver.
Over.
"Milk and teabags.
Over.
" Alarm alarm I can't see them! Over.
"Move, frank, move! Go! Over.
" Who are they, I can't see! What's going on? Over.
What's going on? Over.
"They're in the ceiling shafts!" Nice one.
What the fuck? For emergencies.
What kind of emergencies? What kind of emergencies? I dunno, if some little twat goes psycho with a knife or summat?.
It stays in the locker.
Last resort only.
Don't you ever knock? Don't you ever knock? You haven't been turning up for our power walks.
And I'm sure I saw you at the shop earlier, you looked at me and you ran off.
And you ran off.
Wasn't me.
Anyway, the boys got me some stuff, they're looking after me now, see.
You ok? You ok? I'm tired.
Shattered meself.
I've not had a decent night's kip since I slapped a sex ban on jackson.
Meems? I just popped in to ask if you could give us a hand with some painting.
I think it'll be a really good exercise, just a few skirting boards.
Why are you so interested in me? I care.
You still owe me a fiver.
Pay me later.
Oi, you little fuckers! Whoa, whoa, whoa, it's all right, ches.
Ches, it's just fight club.
I can stop 'em kicking the crap out of each other on the playground, but they're only gonna fight after school.
Then what?.
Stabbed? Shot in a park for being "dissed" in the classroom? Boys need to be boys, and this is a better way for 'em to sort out their shit.
Peters verses manning.
Place your bets, place your bets.
Dig deep, dig deep.
Place your bets, lads.
Who you going for?.
Manning? I'll go manning.
Thank you very much! I didn't know he'd be getting parole.
That's not the worst of it.
He wants me to do all these sick sex things with him which end up with me either dead or him frying me cock in a pan.
He knows me name, where I live, everything.
I got desperate, that's why I started writing the letters.
I just needed someone.
You need to come out.
Don't you think I've tried? Fish fingers for tea? Fish fingers for tea? Yeah.
Fish fingers for tea? Yeah.
What you watching? I've seen this one.
The turtle gets twatted.
I just think you need to be more direct.
But I can't say it.
Every time I try, the words just won't come out.
Micky, pass the salt.
By the sound of things, you won't have to when he turns up.
If I get found dressed in suspenders, strangled by a pair of panty hose, on your head be it.
New clothes? New me.
New me.
Same again, jay.
Stick us down for paint-balling as well.
I can pay now.
And, er Whatever she's having there.
Double.
Flush are we? Flush are we? It's pay day.
Shane's raking it in at the school.
Waiting for a hot date? A mate.
Yeah, he's dead hard.
Built like a brick shithouse and mental.
He'll fuck you up if you take the piss.
He'll fuck you up if you take the piss.
Just asking.
No, I mean I thought we could use him, send him on hits what we need done.
Sounds dangerous.
Micky? Don't hurt me, I'm with child! Who the fuck are you? Who the fuck are you? Timmy.
I don't wanna wear your bollocks as earrings, that was me cell mate.
You were writing to him, but he's illiterate.
I replied to your letters instead.
I thought if you knew the truth, you'd stop.
I thought if you knew the truth, you'd stop.
I should have known, the name's a giveaway.
Fucking timmy? I poured my heart out in those letters.
I poured my heart out in those letters.
And they inspired me To be who I am.
A twisted sex cannibal? Gay.
ButI'm married.
Does she know she's a beard? Does she know she's a beard? I've tried to tell her.
The words just won't come out.
I wanna be like you.
Out and proud.
You needSomeone? And a place to stay? I can't face me wife.
Not tonight.
What's wrong? What's wrong? You don't see it?.
Your body's decent.

Me head's sticking to the carpet.
Can I sleep in the bed wi' you? Can I sleep in the bed wi' you? Go to sleep.
Please.
No funny business.
Shhh! What's up? What's up? Put a 50% cut of what you're making into the family.
What's up? Put a 50% cut of what you're making into the family.
You wanted nowt to do with it.
That was before I knew you've been pulling in a few more ton with your extra curricular.
Come here, you little queer! Is that the way you want it?.
Is that the way you want it?.
Tough shit, this is mine and kelly's.
Shane! 'I'm supposed to be your mentor.
' not doing a very good job of it, am I? Mentoring the wrong brother.
A heads up on the evil twin would have been nice, though.
He's the one bullying you, in't he? Did he do that?.
What are you doing after school? Two words.
Muttonn I have two words for you.
NursingHome.
I'm not letting you take me to the doctors dressed like a slapper.
I'm not taking you anywhere.
You're too old to be behaving like a rebellious teenager.
You think that's what men want?.
What I want.
Men want class, decency.
I've more to offer than you, even at my age.
Oh? Boys, if you had to choose This or that?.
Ridiculous.
To make a fair point, she may be disabled but she's still in perfect working order, if you catch my drift.
Disgusting.
Drink at the jockey later?.
A thank you for all your hard work.
Look after stella.
Doctors! Doctors! I have an appointment of my own.
That is, it's me dad! That is, it's me dad! It's tramp sex.
I told you.
It's been making the rounds, facebook, mobile phones.
And look at the date.
That was the stag night.
Knew it.
He's a fucking prick.
We can email the poster and find out more info, see if he's been spotted anywhere else? Keep it between us though, yeah? Libby's just getting over me dad doing one, so not a word.
Not yet.
Help, help! "No-one can hear you scream in space.
" Libby? Thank fuck.
What's goin' on, how did I get here? What's goin' on, how did I get here? "They took you away in the night.
" Who? "They come out mostly at night.
"Mostly.
" You're not libby.
'Fuck are ya? Who are ya? Who are ya? Who are ya? Get away from me, ya bitch! Oh, shitting hell! Ah, it's got me! It's got me! It's got me.
Ah, get off me.
Get off me! Very therapeutical, painting.
Give it nice long strokes.
Don't stare too long.
Jackson says it's got hypnotic qualities.
Lighten up.
Stop touching me, you, ya dirty dyke! Let's make one thing clear.
I love cock.
Big cock, small cock, fat cock, skinny cock, old cock, young cock, knobbly cock, straight cock, all kinds, the lot! Shuttlecock? Ladies, check out my butterfly.
You're all bloody at it! She's cock-a-hoop.
I've always wanted one.
It's lovely, libby.
Why would you scar your own body like that?.
It's only a tattoo.
It's a slag badge, that's what it is.
Wind your neck in, mother, and stop following me around like a sodding lapdog.
Bless me, father, for I have sinned.
It's been a week since my last confession and the devil has gotten into my soul and it panics me breathless.
I've been having impure thoughts about another woman.
I dreamt she kissed me on the lips.
Then, slowly moved along my body with her tongue and then Licked me Downstairs.
I only wanted a friend, and now I don't know what's got into me.
Tell me more.
About the dream.
You getting off on this? Oh, my god! Our father, who art in heaven hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come! For what she did to me, I could kill her.
Comfortably.
And I know she's ill, and I know she can't help herself, and I know that if she was in full control of her faculties it wouldn't have happened, that what he did, whatever buttonns he pushed to get her where he wanted her, I know If she was well, it wouldn't have worked.
But it did.
And I've got this anger.
This anger, and I don't know what to do with it.
Jude, relax it.
There you go.
Timmy, it's set.
Tomorrow at mine.
Neutral ground.
I've made sure there'll be no-one else in.
But micky, we've got a little boy.
Abort, abort! It's because of me son that I have to do this.
I want him to be as proud of me as I am of him.
We're on the same team, you dildo! It's not an excuse for what I did, and you've got every right to be angry because I took everything we had and I just threw it back in your face and I don't know why.
And I know you don't believe me.
But I've never I've never loved anybody like I love you.
And the worst thing is, because of me condition, I could end up hurting you all over again.
We could get to a place where you could trust me Where I could trust myself and I could just fuck up.
There's nothing I can do about it.
Oi I want you to start standing up for yourself, ok? Take no shit, whatever the cost.
What?.
Don't mean you have to be physical.
You're smart, aren't you? Use that.
I tell ya, scare tactics are just as effective.
I do know what it's like, you know.
My brother used to beat the shit out of me when we were kids.
Broke my arm once.
Hated the fucker.
Then he He did something bad and he got sent down.
When he came out, he was like this new person, you know, he'd changed.
We were brothers again.
But He made me do something Bad.
He hadn't changed.
He changed me.
To be just like him.
You can't let that happen.
Loud knocking on door are you ready? Hiya.
Sit, please.
Can you er Take little timmy? Take little timmy? Come on, mate.
I want you to know that I love you.
Us, it was real.
But I can't lie any more, linda.
And I don't know how else to say this to make it sound I'm.
.
I'm gay.
I mean he's gay.
We're both gay.
Not with each other, though.
I'm sorry.
You home-wrecking faggot! I'm sorry.
Should've fucking known.
Bastard! You bastard! Bastard! Bastard! Why? Naughty, naughty daddy gay! Naughty, naughty daddy gay! Naughty, naughty daddy gay! Bastard! I've wrecked your family.
I'm a coward.
I'm finally free.
Because of you.
You're stronger than you think.
I couldn't cope with losing my family.
It'd destroy me.
I've been fighting with who I am since I can remember.
My family have only just found out.
In time, they'll come round.
In time, they'll come round.
What if they don't?.
They deserved to know.
Don't you think your family deserves to know? Get out! Shane? Get 'em out, get everyone out! Shane! Alarm bell rings fuck! Fuck! You told me to.
This is not what I meant, and you know it.
You've planned this.
I know about project skull-fuck.
I planned it and planned it.
Wished for it.
Dreamed about it.
Kill them all.
It's the only way to stop them.
But I didn't.
Scare tactics.
Drop the gun, motherfucker! What are you doing with that?.
What are you doing with that?.
Emergency.
Does it look like one? Put it away.
Will I have to go away now? You're not going anywhere.
He is.
Are you serious? Are you serious? Er, hang on, jackson, I watched micky squat over your face while you drank beer poured down his arse crack for a dare at frank's stag.
I thought you'd be all right with this.
Firstly, I didn't, and if I had, what happens on stag stays on stag.
Secondly, I don't respond well to threats.
That kid was tormented day in, day out.
Failed by the school, by the likes of you.
He was driven to it.
I can't risk my career.
I can't risk my career.
What if today jude hadn't gone trigger happy with a paint-ball gun and decided to do summat else instead, I dunno, summat much worse, like hang himself in his wardrobe.
Let gabriel fuck up jude's life and walk out of here scot free, then I've we've failed.
Let go, let go of me! Let go! Let go! Let go of me! Let me go! Let me out, let me out! I haven't done anything! It was him! Let me out! How will we know the counselling's working when the only time we see each other is in that room? I want connor home.
I want you both home.
Are we ready? Probably not.
But we need to be together and take that risk sooner or later if We're serious about us.
I am.
But what about the rest of the family? I run things now.
And I'm making sure we've got the security we need for our son.
You look smart.
Going anywhere special? Going anywhere special? Business.
Think about what I said.
Because of your heroics, the phone's been ringing off the hook.
Schools from all over want to contract the best security firm in the north west.
This is getting a bit big for us.
We'll be selective.
Jamie wants in.
You're both invited to a very special dinner tonight.
I've got something very important to announce.
The cheeky prick.
Jamie can fuck off! I told him, no! This is ours.
Look, I'll get this lot off to the bank, you make some calls, get the ball rolling.
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
There must be a mistake.
I'm calling on behalf of maguire security, your school made an enquiry about They're mine and kelly's future.
And we'd like 'em back.
You're using the maguire name, we're entitled to a piece of it.
So now it's all our futures.
Don't take it personal.
You made it personal when you went behind my back.
Things have changed.
We either work together or we don't work at all.
I underestimated you, I hold my hands up.
Don't let pride get in the way of the family benefiting from something you started.
The business isn't me.
It's us.
I want the contracts back.
I'm not giving them back.
I didn't expect you to.
Winner gets to keep the contract.
You taking the piss? S'only fight club, jamie.
Nothing personal.
We do this and I win, I keep the contracts and I get a cut of whatever else you make out of the business from now on.
Chicken curry in a can? Dirty bastards.
Forty cigs, please, love.
A word? I had a dream.
About us.
Fucking.
Thought I was turning funny.
Thought I was turning funny.
Tempted to drink from the furry chalice? I run a lesbian aversion at mine if you're interested.
Dirty twat! He was sniffing your arse, lillian! I know.
And he's paying good money for the privilege.
I know you're not a dyke, and neither am I.
A misunderstanding, that's all.
Have you ever had a girlfriend? Fuck right off! Fuck right off! A friend who's a girl.
I've never had a friend.
Only family.
Tell you what, pay for me cigs and we'll forget all about it.
You still a friend in need is a friend indeed.
But a friend with weed is better, and you've got plenty.
So this bitch is a friend for life.
I want to tell you all something.
Just know that I'll always love you.
I'm gay.
Whoa! Hey, look, I was only joking.
Hey, I'm not really! Got ya! You are awful.
Kitchen's looking fab, mum.
You're a grown woman.
A grown woman who isn't capable of taking herself to the toilet.
Well, you're in for a shock if you think I'm gonna wipe your arse.
What's happened to my libby? I let you put me down, mould me into the person you wanted.
And then frank came along.
With him I thought I was finally me.
But your venom of control and manipulation had poisoned my veins because, just like you thought you could change me, I thought I could change him.
I don't blame him for running.
I should've run myself, a long time ago.
I should've run myself, a long time ago.
Shove the hippy crap up your hole.
Whatever happened to my mother?.
Let go.
Let go.
I wanted a better life for you.
LetGo.
LetGo.
I didn't want you making the same mistakes I made.
Stop lying.
Your youth.
Looks.
Optimism.
Ambition.
I never had any of that.
That's why I didn't let you.
I'll take the good with the bad.
How about you? The old libby hasn't completely gone, there's still lots I love.
But she could never have done this.
Every nook and cranny, boys.
There's a nice little bonus in it for you.
Someone tell me what the hell's gone on.
Someone tell me what the hell's gone on.
Not allowed to talk about it.
It's the first rule.
Are you two fuckin' cracked? Micky's got more sense.
Dinner, fuck! You two get cleaned up now.
We ok? Put these away in the safe will you, mam.
Put these away in the safe will you, mam.
What?.
New business contracts for the family.
How's things going with karen? I've said all I need to say.
Ball's in her court now.
Sorted.
Sorry we're late.
You're not just late.
You're not even fashionable late.
You're two fuckin' hours late.
I bend over backwards, sidewards, anything for you lot.
But I ask you to do one little thing for me.
Had special invitations, hand delivered and everything.
But you blew me out, cos you're all too wrapped up in your own shit.
Get a grip! We're here now.
Tell us.
No.
Oh, for fuck's sake, micky, what's all this about?.
Oh, for fuck's sake, micky, what's all this about?.
Oh, grow up! Oh, for fuck's sake, micky, what's all this about?.
Oh, grow up! No! You don't deserve to know.
You're not ready for me.
You might never be.
Why's everybody talking in fucking riddles today? This is your fault.
Why's this carrot shaped like a knob? Bye now.
A stronger heart for our home, and a better life for all of us now.
Wedding money well spent, eh, mother?.
A new kitchen or a life with frank gallagher?.
No contest.
Come and see our fabulous new kitchen.
We'll be down in a bit.
What are you watching? What are you watching? Nothing.
Porn.
Move.
Don't.
Don't.
Move! 'Disillusionment is all over the place.
'I mean, who really creates those opportunities that you wait for?.
'It's not teachers, not aliens, not gods.
'You do.
'And that's fine, as long as you know this - 'there will always be some cunt to stand in your way.
'And sometimes, you just can't win.
' I will kill you! I'll fuckin' kill you! Frank! Libby? Libby? You're awake.
Monica? I didn't want you to miss the birth.
I get woozy just looking at oysters, why the fuck would I want to watch you give birth? Oh, not me, frank.
You.
How can I be preg? Gut rumbles oh, it's a little boy! Baby mick hucknall.
Libby?! Libby! Shit he's off again.
Shit he's off again.
Sit on his face! Libby! I'll sit on his face! Libby! So, who is this frank gallagher?.
It's a product of his schizophrenia, doctor.
He'll only respond when we refer to him by his 'frank' identity.
The details he's created are incredibly sophisticated.
Lives on a 'chatsworth estate' with his two children, engaged to be married to a fictitious librarian called libby.
He's made several attempts to leave here for this fantasy life.
As a result, we've had to keep him sedated for his own safety.
Is there a history of trauma or stress? Anything that may have triggered his condition? According to his partner, he hasn't been the same since the con-dem coalition.
I would think we'd need to keep him in for at least another week.
I'm afraid he'll be here indefinitely.
It's for the best.
I'll inform his family.
Remember me? I fucking hate you for what you did to him.
I failed.
I'd like for you and I to have sex, sita.
He's offered me a way ahead.
Karen, no.
I'm going in as an out-patient, I'm gonna get my meds assessed.
Have you been here this whole time? I'm not sure.
D'you know, you'd suit a brazilian, Barry.
