Hi, you are through to Roy Tucker. I can't talk right now, but please leave a message, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
Hi Roy. It's Tom. Uhm, I don't know if you are around today, if you are,... if you are not working, that is, maybe we could meet up later, just for a chat, you know, nothing urgent. Uh, Yeah. OK. Bye.
Hold your arm still.
Oh, oh, oh.
I'm sorry. I'm being as careful as I can.
You are doing great.
Unless
back into
your nurse do it for you?
Ah, well,...
Oh?
You'll do.
Thanks very much.
move
sorry
No more bleeding?
Yeah. Just a tiny bit.
Oh good
I hope it's not getting infected.
No. The doctor said it's clean. Just a ... wound.
I still don't know what you thought
chasing around
Ranbo or something.
OK. I know
should've been more careful.
Didn't it cross your mind, Neil, that these men are ... and vilans. They are violent.
stop to think
kinda situation
not for certain
spent enough time in hospital with christopher
sit up
dig bullets out of your shoulder.
Not bullets. No. 4 shotgun, ...
Ah well. Right. Let's ... clean dressing on anyway.
Oh thanks.
let's do your sling
I'm not sure
really need that
Come on, arm up.
I don't know how I'm supposed to work with one arm.
Well, you should have thought
sooner, shouldn't you?
Yeah yeah yeah.
All right. ........ Neil, I'm sorry
just
whenever I think of what might have happened.
I know
I can't help it
still got cold all over.
So try not to.
I'm just so glad that ... ... you back again.
I can't believe it. I can't believe you ... be so stupid.
Love, it wasn't like that.
Oh, stupid and thoughtless and mad.
Look. If you give me a chance to explain
I don't want to hear anymore.
I've had enough of your lies
I keep telling you
part of it.
not on Friday
put a stop to it
So what about the other nights? Where were you then?
what about
cash in your pocket
where
come from?
Des
I couldn't say no.
Don't even bother. I know the truth. I don't want to hear it.
I was
all I did was hold a walkie talkie.
All those lies. All those promises. You are just so weak. If someone offers you easy money you don't think, you just take it.
Elona, please.
Stealing was bad enough. You got caught for that once and sent to prison. Now you take money from men who fight wee dogs?
I know it was bad. It was wrong. I shouldn't have done it.
You know what I think? I think if anyone deserved to get shot, it was you, not Neil.
So how is the arm feeling now?
Oh,
different all right, but not too bad. I'm not supposed to
for a bit
make life easy, is it?
just looking at these
under cover
What? Into the store?
Yes, but,...
I can

No, Roy. I don't mean
take
a few minutes.
Well, OK then. Thanks

how crazy is that?
I suppose he might

any excuse?
No, no
but, well. Don't say this to Suzan, but I probably do the same again.
Yeah?
these people ... the scum of the Earth,

Still, they've got the rest of the gang
good chance of catching him.
Neil
Oh hello.
You are not trying to work, are you?
No, no, no no no.
No, it's OK, Suzan. I'm watching him.
Hello Roy.
So ... husband of yours, eh? Real hero.
Well, that's one word for it, Roy.
Suzan doesn't think it was a very sensible thing to do.
Not sensible?
Well, fair's fair, Suzan. It's quite a brave thing he did. Aren't you a little bit proud of him?
Well,... oh, all right, yes.
So maybe it wasn't the cleverest thing to do, but,... Yeah. Of course I'm proud of him.
Elona?
No. Go away. I don't want to speak to you.
Oh come on, love. Look, I know what I did was wrong. Haven't I told you how sorry I am?
Sorry is not good, Darrell. It's too late for that.

Oh, Darrell.

what about the man who got away?
Des?
Yes. He can't stay on the run forever. They'll catch him in the end. What happens then? What's to stop him ...ing you up?
I don't know. I,...
How could you put us all that risk? What kind of a husband
father
would do a thing like that?
Thanks again for the help, Roy.

You just take care, yeah?
a lot of choice, do I? Not

Oh. Right.
He left a message earlier, wants us to meet up.

Yeah.
From what I've heard. ... is taking it hard.
It's a bit awkward for me, caught in the middle.
Yes, I suppose, with Brenda staying

of course, but,...
brenda
don't
get too involved
if I can help it.
I can't say I blame you. ......... Oh, that's Darrell.
I'll be on my way, then.
OK. I'll see you.

Neil
Hello, Darrell

Is there a problem?
I just feels like

It's Elona she

even try to deny it.
she's not gonna tell anyone, is she?
No. She's just terrified if I get found out
prison again
could still happen, Neil. If the police check that I've got a record, they might start to get nosy
That's
Des
shot me first.
Darrell, there's no use worrying about that now. I'll stand by you. So long as we both stick to the same story, we should be fine.
Roy. Hi.
Oh uh,... Hiya.
Did you, uh, did you get the message?
Yeah. yeah, I'm sorry. I meant to get back to you ... busy day.
Oh no. Don't worry about it.
So, well,...
yeah, I was just wondering how things were, you know, with Brenda.
Well, she's, um,... ... she's ... abbie's room, you know, so,
space
own
I mean, how is she,
and calling, but she's not getting back to me.
No? Well, she's still pretty upset, Tom. She
much about it
dealing with it in her own way.
Yeah.
I know you must be suffering, mate.
Yeah. I won't pretend. It's been tough. these last few days have been,... well,...
I keep thinking back. What did I do? How did I let it go so wrong? And wishing I could go back and change things
differently
so fast, Roy. I wasn't ready for it.
I had no idea what was coming.
No.
you think about it, I mean,
worst time,
only get better from here.
Better?
It's gonna take a while, of course, but,...
I can't even see that far ahead, Roy. I still can't believe it's really happened. I wake up in the morning and, for a moment, I forget. All I want is to have her back again.
