- Yes, concrete.
Copy !req

him that it's urgent?
Copy !req
18. Can you tell him to call me back?
Copy !req
19. Yep. Does he have your number?
Copy !req
20. Yes. Yes, he does.
Copy !req
21. - Sorry, what was your name again?
- Ivan Locke.
Copy !req
22. - Something about concrete?
- That's right, yes. Can you...
Copy !req
23. - Will he know what?
- No, no, he won't.
Copy !req
24. Something has come up
and I need to tell people. It's urgent.
Copy !req
25. - Sorry, what?
- I said... I said it's urgent.
Copy !req
26. Very urgent. Thank you.
Copy !req
27. Hello?
Copy !req
28. Eddie, it's your dad. Ls your mother there?
Copy !req
29. No, she's not back from the shops yet.
Copy !req
30. She's getting that German beer
that you like for the match.
Copy !req
31. Okay. Listen, I won't be back for that.
Copy !req
32. What?
Copy !req
33. Something's come up. I can't get out of it.
Copy !req
34. I'm wearing the shirt.
Mum's getting sausages.
Copy !req
35. Yeah, and guess what?
She's wearing the shirt as well.
Copy !req
36. Dad, it is so embarrassing.
Copy !req
37. Yeah, what did you say
about coming home?
Copy !req
38. I won't be back for the match.
Copy !req
39. I'll have to listen to it on the radio.
Copy !req
40. Dad, you said you'd be back.
It's rubbish on the radio.
Copy !req
41. Mum's doing sausages and all.
Copy !req
42. Is your brother there?
Copy !req
43. - Yeah. Do you want a word?
- No. Just tell...
Copy !req
44. Can you just tell your mother to call me
when she gets back? Thank you.
Copy !req
45. - Yeah, sure.
- Eddie, come on.
Copy !req
46. - I love you.
- It's started.
Copy !req
47. What?
Copy !req
48. It's okay. Do you know what?
Copy !req
49. Just get her to call me when she gets back.
Thank you.
Copy !req
50. - All right. Bye, Dad.
- Bye, bye.
Copy !req
51. Ivan Locke.
Copy !req
52. I just got your message.
It's a joke, is it?
Copy !req
53. Look, I know it's a shock,
but it will be okay.
Copy !req
54. Okay.
Copy !req
55. Yes, well, I will go through everything
with you and it'll be okay.
Copy !req
56. You know where I am, Ivan?
I'm at the service station.
Copy !req
57. I'm turning the fucking van around.
Copy !req
58. I put a few other lads on the hard
shoulder. I was halfway home.
Copy !req
59. - Yeah.
- What the fuck's happened?
Copy !req
60. - It's a family thing.
- Right.
Copy !req
61. Is someone... Has... Is it a bereavement?
Copy !req
62. I don't have a choice.
Copy !req
63. Is it one of the kids?
Copy !req
64. Donal, look, I just need you to fix this up
and be all right, okay? And solid.
Copy !req
65. Which you are. Which you are, okay?
Copy !req
66. Just from when the sun comes up
tomorrow morning
Copy !req
67. until when it's all been pumped.
Copy !req
68. I need you to hold it
together for me, okay?
Copy !req
69. You won't be alone. I will be on the phone.
Copy !req
70. I will talk to you every five minutes
until the pump is finished.
Copy !req
71. - Talk to me, what, on the phone?
- On the phone.
Copy !req
72. What? Have you gone mad?
Copy !req
73. No, I don't think so.
Copy !req
74. Ivan, at 5:45 tomorrow morning,
Copy !req
75. we have 350 metric tons of wet concrete
being delivered to the site.
Copy !req
76. We've got 200 trucks from all over the
fucking country descending on us at 5:45.
Copy !req
77. 355 metric tons and 218 trucks.
Copy !req
78. Okay, this is a joke, is it?
Copy !req
79. I have no choice.
Copy !req
80. Ivan, look, I hate myself
even hearing myself saying this,
Copy !req
81. but if someone has died,
like your mother or...
Copy !req
82. - No one is dead, Donal.
- ... just go where you have to
Copy !req
83. go tomorrow after 12:00.
Copy !req
84. I need you to just do this, okay?
Copy !req
85. I need you to be there with enough stuff
Copy !req
86. and the right heads when the sun comes up.
That's it.
Copy !req
87. Holy fucking Mary!
I can't. I'm a fucking concrete farmer.
Copy !req
88. You've never seen me
read anything written down on paper.
Copy !req
89. - I can't...
- You're okay. Listen, you're okay.
Copy !req
90. You know how to run a pump, don't you?
You know how to run trucks back to back
Copy !req
91. and turn trucks back,
and you know how to test for slumps.
Copy !req
92. I've never even shoveled
on a pump this big!
Copy !req
93. Well, it's the same.
It's just there's more of it.
Copy !req
94. You just...
You just do the same but for longer.
Copy !req
95. You check it, slump it,
send it back if it's piss
Copy !req
96. and pump it if it's right. That's it.
Copy !req
97. - What does Gareth say about this?
- I haven't spoken to him yet.
Copy !req
98. Well, he's gonna fucking... He's gonna...
Copy !req
99. He'll go fucking sideways
around the houses...
Copy !req
100. I know.
Copy !req
101. - ... like his arse is on fire.
- I know.
Copy !req
102. - I know.
- Ivan, you're gonna get the sack.
Copy !req
103. I know, Donal.
Copy !req
104. Jesus, you're the best foreman
I've ever fucking worked with!
Copy !req
105. The best site manager. What the hell is it
Copy !req
106. that's gonna make you go and risk...
You're gonna risk the sack?
Copy !req
107. Look, I need you
to do this for me, Donal, right?
Copy !req
108. So, start rounding up some cowboys
and then call me back.
Copy !req
109. I'll be on the road.
Copy !req
110. - Ivan Locke.
- Ivan?
Copy !req
111. Where are you?
Copy !req
112. I just got admitted.
Copy !req
113. I'm in the labor ward.
It's called Bailey Ward.
Copy !req
114. Did they say how long?
Copy !req
115. - I'm five centimeters.
- What does that mean?
Copy !req
116. - Dilated.
- I know what that means, but how long?
Copy !req
117. L... They just... They just left me.
I'm on my own.
Copy !req
118. - Is there a bell?
- A what?
Copy !req
119. I don't know, a buzzer
or something to get a nurse.
Copy !req
120. They just put their head round
and they said it could be hours.
Copy !req
121. Are you okay?
Copy !req
122. - I need the loo.
- Well, tell them. Tell them.
Copy !req
123. - Well, there's no one here.
- Well, is there a bell?
Copy !req
124. They don't have bells. What do you mean?
Copy !req
125. When they put their head around the door,
Copy !req
126. you tell them that you need the lavatory.
Copy !req
127. It's like a pain I've never had right
inside, all the way up to my chest.
Copy !req
128. Have you talked to anyone about the pain?
Copy !req
129. No, what... What do you mean?
Copy !req
130. Ivan, what do you mean?
Copy !req
131. I'm saying, have you talked to anybody
about stopping the pain?
Copy !req
132. - Have you decided?
- Well, they said let's see.
Copy !req
133. Well, just have whatever
there is, seriously.
Copy !req
134. - What?
- I don't know. For the pain.
Copy !req
135. Because it's fucking... Jesus, it's...
Copy !req
136. it's cold and all the windows are open.
Copy !req
137. Tell them to close the windows.
Copy !req
138. And the traffic is okay.
Go to the lavatory.
Copy !req
139. I'll be there.
Copy !req
140. Have you even told your wife
that someone's having your baby?
Copy !req
141. I'm about to do that.
Copy !req
142. I have... I have a list of things that I
have to do tonight while I'm driving.
Copy !req
143. - So, am I on a list?
- Yes. Tonight, yes.
Copy !req
144. Do you love me?
Copy !req
145. That's a question you're asking
probably because of the pain or something.
Copy !req
146. How could I love you?
Copy !req
147. L...
Copy !req
148. Hell.
Copy !req
149. Hi, love.
Copy !req
150. - Hello, Katrina.
- Hi, love.
Copy !req
151. Look, I got you six of the German lagers
and I got sausages.
Copy !req
152. I thought we could have hot dogs again.
And guess what?
Copy !req
153. I am finally wearing the shirt.
Copy !req
154. Ivan?
Copy !req
155. Did Eddie not give you the message?
Copy !req
156. - What message?
- I'm not coming home.
Copy !req
157. What?
Copy !req
158. What do you mean?
Copy !req
159. It's the match. I'm wearing the shirt.
Copy !req
160. Which phone are you on?
Copy !req
161. - What do you mean?
- I can hear the TA.
Copy !req
162. Can you take this call upstairs,
on the phone upstairs?
Copy !req
163. Upstairs? Why?
Copy !req
164. I have something...
Copy !req
165. I have something to say.
Copy !req
166. Well, can't it wait until you get home?
Copy !req
167. I won't be home.
Copy !req
168. What's happened?
Copy !req
169. Will you just...
Will you get to the phone upstairs?
Copy !req
170. What's happened?
Copy !req
171. Just go to the phone in the bedroom
and I'll tell you what's happened.
Copy !req
172. Okay.
Copy !req
173. Sean, when I shout,
put the phone down, please.
Copy !req
174. - Hey, Dad, are you coming back?
- Eddie.
Copy !req
175. Yeah, I'm talking to your mother.
Copy !req
176. He hasn't put any wingers on
and he's put Caldwell back on again.
Copy !req
177. Hello?
Copy !req
178. Eddie, will you put the phone down, please?
Copy !req
179. Dad, I can't believe the team he's picked.
Copy !req
180. Eddie, please,
can you put the phone down, please?
Copy !req
181. Eddie.
Copy !req
182. So, go on, tell me. What is it?
Copy !req
183. Last year, this job...
You know, the job in Croydon.
Copy !req
184. Do you remember? I was up and down there
for three months. Remember?
Copy !req
185. Yes.
Copy !req
186. I stayed in the guesthouse,
the one that had...
Copy !req
187. it had bad damp, I said.
Copy !req
188. Remember? The...
Copy !req
189. Yeah.
Copy !req
190. They gave me an assistant.
Copy !req
191. She worked with me
on the block construction.
Copy !req
192. - She?
- She was a secretary, quite old.
Copy !req
193. We... We worked together.
Copy !req
194. She's quite old and she lives on her own.
Copy !req
195. She's 43 or something.
Copy !req
196. She's...
Copy !req
197. Why are you telling me about some woman?
Copy !req
198. This is the only time I ever did
this, Katrina. The only time.
Copy !req
199. Look, after the block was settled in,
there were some drinks to celebrate.
Copy !req
200. Now, the block going in is a big thing
because it's the base of a whole building.
Copy !req
201. And she came back to the guesthouse.
Copy !req
202. She isn't what you would call
an oil painting,
Copy !req
203. but it was wet and cold,
and she talked about being lonely
Copy !req
204. and I talked about being happy.
Copy !req
205. But I'm lonely sometimes, you know,
when I was away, and...
Copy !req
206. And there was this wine and...
Copy !req
207. This was the only time I did this
in all our 15 years.
Copy !req
208. And now tonight she's giving birth.
Copy !req
209. Tonight she's giving birth and it's mine.
Copy !req
210. Ivan Locke.
Copy !req
211. Yeah, it's Gareth, Ivan.
I just spoke to Donal.
Copy !req
212. This had better be more than good!
Copy !req
213. Hello, Gareth.
Copy !req
214. Speak to me only
about tomorrow morning, lvan.
Copy !req
215. Right, well...
Copy !req
216. I won't be on site for the pump tomorrow.
Copy !req
217. Sweet monkey Jesus! This is not happening.
Copy !req
218. The truth is,
tonight I'm going to become a father.
Copy !req
219. And she's in London, so I have to be there.
Copy !req
220. Okay, okay.
Copy !req
221. Jesus!
I'm just gonna read you something, lvan.
Copy !req
222. - Are you listening?
- Yes.
Copy !req
223. "Good luck tomorrow with the pour.
Copy !req
224. "We just had it confirmed by CGO
Copy !req
225. "that this will be
the biggest single concrete pour
Copy !req
226. "ever made in Europe
outside of nuclear military projects.
Copy !req
227. "I know the day is in the safest of hands.
Best wishes, Mitchell."
Copy !req
228. That is Mitchell Dean himself,
the president of the whole fucking company.
Copy !req
229. Did you hear that, Ivan? From Chicago, USA.
Copy !req
230. Yes.
Copy !req
231. You're gonna have to speak up, lvan.
I can't hear you.
Copy !req
232. Yes, I heard.
Copy !req
233. And so, you're the man in charge
of the entire operation,
Copy !req
234. but with 10 hours to go,
you've decided you ain't gonna be there!
Copy !req
235. Well, Donal will handle it
and he's a good man.
Copy !req
236. Don't you fucking dare say that to me!
Copy !req
237. Don't you fucking dare
give qualitative appraisals on my staff
Copy !req
238. and say "good man," like he's going off
to buy a fucking ice cream!
Copy !req
239. Jesus, this is fucking concrete.
Copy !req
240. Like shit, lvan. Like piss.
When it comes, you pump it.
Copy !req
241. Like babies.
Copy !req
242. Shit. This is a joke to you.
Copy !req
243. No, no.
Right now nothing is a joke anymore.
Copy !req
244. Oh, God!
Copy !req
245. And so, it's not your wife giving birth?
Copy !req
246. No.
Copy !req
247. - Jesus!
- It's someone else.
Copy !req
248. Ivan! You're the last person on earth...
Copy !req
249. Yes, I know, I am the last person on earth,
but it happened.
Copy !req
250. And this woman, she can't just...
She can't give birth on her own?
Copy !req
251. I have made a decision.
Copy !req
252. There is nobody else
who could be with her, okay?
Copy !req
253. She has no friends in London
and is quite a fragile person.
Copy !req
254. Fragile!
Copy !req
255. You're gonna abandon
the biggest fucking concrete pour in Europe
Copy !req
256. to hold someone's fucking hand
because she's fragile?
Copy !req
257. And because the baby was caused by me.
Copy !req
258. That is my decision I have made.
Copy !req
259. I have not behaved in the right way
with this woman at all.
Copy !req
260. I have behaved in a way that isn't like me.
Copy !req
261. But now I am going to do the right thing.
Copy !req
262. What, and Chicago can go to fucking hell?
Copy !req
263. It is a decision that I have made.
I'm not gonna turn back.
Copy !req
264. Do you know how many millions of pounds
are riding on tomorrow?
Copy !req
265. If any one of those pumps fucks up, lvan,
Copy !req
266. we are facing 10 million pounds
worth of losses in 15 minutes.
Copy !req
267. So if we get that 15 minutes
for the whole morning,
Copy !req
268. a total shutdown,
Copy !req
269. $100 million.
Copy !req
270. - Are you still there, lvan?
- Yes, yes.
Copy !req
271. Look, I have no explanation.
Copy !req
272. Apart from the one that I've given you.
Copy !req
273. But, Gareth, listen...
Copy !req
274. I have made a pledge to myself
that I will not allow the pour to fuck up.
Copy !req
275. This is a joke!
Copy !req
276. Are you wearing a fucking red nose?
Copy !req
277. This is a fucking joke, lvan.
Copy !req
278. I'm gonna call Chicago, right?
Copy !req
279. If it weren't for the fact that you've been
so solid for us for so many years,
Copy !req
280. I'd fire you down the phone.
Copy !req
281. Ivan, have you lost your fucking mind?
Copy !req
282. I have made my decision.
Copy !req
283. What the fuck are you looking at?
Copy !req
284. You're laughing, aren't you?
Copy !req
285. Laughing at my predicament.
Copy !req
286. It's a familiar predicament
to a man like you, isn't it, Dad, eh?
Copy !req
287. You think, "There he is, look.
Like father, like son.
Copy !req
288. "There's the man I made."
What is it they say?
Copy !req
289. "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree."
Copy !req
290. Well, that's where you're wrong.
Copy !req
291. Listen to me,
you fucking piece of worthless shit.
Copy !req
292. I want you to watch.
Copy !req
293. Do you know, in fact,
I would like to take a fucking shovel
Copy !req
294. and dig you up out of the fucking ground
and make you watch me tonight.
Copy !req
295. I would pull open your eyes
Copy !req
296. and kick the mud and worms and shit
out of your fucking ears
Copy !req
297. just for the duration of this journey.
Copy !req
298. Because it's me driving. Me, not you.
Copy !req
299. And, unlike you, I will drive
straight to the place where I should be,
Copy !req
300. and I will be there to take care of my...
Copy !req
301. To take care of my fuck-up.
Copy !req
302. Yes, Donal.
Copy !req
303. Okay, okay, I'm driving back now
so I'm gonna be quick.
Copy !req
304. I called Ryan
and I got half a dozen Poles off him,
Copy !req
305. and I got some Hungarians from Patrick.
Copy !req
306. I've got breakfast tickets
for the concrete farmers,
Copy !req
307. and the shutter boys are done, apart
from the fucking-about with the clips.
Copy !req
308. I've asked Albanian Alby
to test the pumps on the Argyll side,
Copy !req
309. and he said that they're pissing it out.
Copy !req
310. No, listen... Okay, stop, stop, stop.
Copy !req
311. Listen, when you get back on site,
you check every pump yourself,
Copy !req
312. individually and
with your own hand on the turner.
Copy !req
313. You don't ask anybody else
to check and sign off.
Copy !req
314. You go around the whole site
and you check each one yourself.
Copy !req
315. And you don't trust Alby after 5:00
because he drinks, okay?
Copy !req
316. - Okay, okay.
- Now, will you talk to me about the mix?
Copy !req
317. The mix... Yeah, the mix. Did we say C6?
Copy !req
318. Don't say that like it's a question.
Copy !req
319. Okay, yes, okay.
Copy !req
320. Sometimes I say things and it sounds
like a question and it's not a question.
Copy !req
321. Well, all the mixes for the pump
will be C6. Why do you even ask?
Copy !req
322. - It's written on the whiteboard...
- I'm not asking.
Copy !req
323. in fucking giant letters. I put "C6"
all over the cabin in big red letters.
Copy !req
324. - Slump of one inch, C6.
- Okay.
Copy !req
325. Don't ask me questions like that.
Copy !req
326. I'm not asking a question.
I know you don't like questions.
Copy !req
327. Fucking hell!
Copy !req
328. All right, what time are you unlocking?
Copy !req
329. I don't know. I'm gonna sleep here tonight.
Copy !req
330. Good, good, except you don't sleep, okay?
Check everything.
Copy !req
331. You've got the client sign-off?
Copy !req
332. Yeah, yeah,
and the client sign-off on the gates.
Copy !req
333. That's what I mean, the gate sign-off.
Copy !req
334. Donal, the construction sign-off
should already be filed.
Copy !req
335. Yes, it is. it's already... it's already
filed, it's okay. That's what I meant.
Copy !req
336. Okay, right. Well, you have
the phone numbers of the plants, don't you?
Copy !req
337. - Yeah.
- Call them now, Donal.
Copy !req
338. Call every one of those bastards,
get them to repeat the order.
Copy !req
339. C6 on the nose
or we send those trucks back.
Copy !req
340. Seriously, those fuckers will fuck you up
Copy !req
341. with the water in the gullies
if it rains tomorrow.
Copy !req
342. Well, it's not gonna rain tomorrow.
It's gonna be dry.
Copy !req
343. I've got a direct line to God
up in heaven, you know.
Copy !req
344. Donal, you don't trust God
when it comes to concrete.
Copy !req
345. You call the plants, Donal,
Copy !req
346. - every one of them.
- I will, okay.
Copy !req
347. And get them to fax the order back
so you can check it.
Copy !req
348. I will. I'll do that. I'll do that now.
Did you speak to Gareth?
Copy !req
349. Yes, I did, actually. He's calling Chicago.
Copy !req
350. I'm guessing Chicago's going to fire me
and he'll put some fucking kid on it, so...
Copy !req
351. - No, no, no.
- Don't take his calls.
Copy !req
352. Just don't take his calls.
Copy !req
353. - Don't listen to anybody else.
- I can't not take his calls.
Copy !req
354. Don't take his calls. Don't listen to
anybody else until the morning.
Copy !req
355. This is me and you, okay?
Copy !req
356. So, I'm not gonna answer his calls?
Copy !req
357. No. Just me and you till the morning, okay?
Copy !req
358. - Okay.
- Cool.
Copy !req
359. Fucking hell, okay.
Copy !req
360. Hello. This is Bethan.
I'm afraid I can't get to the phone.
Copy !req
361. - Did you call?
- Are you okay?
Copy !req
362. Yeah. Someone closed the windows.
Copy !req
363. Did you talk to anyone about the pain?
Copy !req
364. - No, no one's been in.
- But is everything all right?
Copy !req
365. No. it hurts like nothing ever.
Copy !req
366. Okay, well, I'm on the M6.
Copy !req
367. An hour and a quarter
if the traffic stays okay.
Copy !req
368. You must speak to someone about the pain.
Copy !req
369. Just then I felt like I hate you.
Copy !req
370. Well, we don't know each other, Bethan.
That's the simple truth.
Copy !req
371. - This thing just happened.
- Thing?
Copy !req
372. So we can't really love each other
or hate each other, can we?
Copy !req
373. This thing just happened and that's it.
Copy !req
374. And it will go up and down, I suppose,
but at least I'm coming, okay?
Copy !req
375. Do you...
Do you hate me for going through with it?
Copy !req
376. I don't know you, so...
I don't hate you, do I? I mean...
Copy !req
377. I don't know you, so...
Copy !req
378. Look, do what they tell you to do.
I have a lot of calls to make.
Copy !req
379. The traffic is fine so it'll be okay.
Copy !req
380. - Please be quick.
- Yes, but there's a speed limit.
Copy !req
381. - Hello, Gareth.
- Yeah, look.
Copy !req
382. Chicago is having a predictable meltdown.
Copy !req
383. Is it? Okay.
Copy !req
384. Yeah, I gave them...
I gave them the whole 10-year thing
Copy !req
385. about your 10 years working for Park
without a foot wrong.
Copy !req
386. Nine years. I've been with you nine years.
Copy !req
387. - What?
- Nine years.
Copy !req
388. Yeah, the whole thing, lvan.
He said he goes on emotion.
Copy !req
389. He said the stuff about
the biggest pour in Europe.
Copy !req
390. Outside the nuclear and military,
I know, I know.
Copy !req
391. Well, I'll tell you what, lvan...
You're fired, is what it is.
Copy !req
392. They said they had no choice.
I said... I told them about the 10 years.
Copy !req
393. - Nine years.
- But they said they had no choice.
Copy !req
394. Yeah. Nine, 10, whatever.
Copy !req
395. So it's okay. It's okay.
Copy !req
396. - I never do this on the phone, lvan.
- It's okay. It's okay.
Copy !req
397. I will still make sure
the pour is all right.
Copy !req
398. No, Ivan, it's...
it's not a matter for negotiation.
Copy !req
399. They've decided you're fired, completely,
as of right this second.
Copy !req
400. I know, I heard you,
and I don't blame them, okay?
Copy !req
401. But I'm not trying to keep my job.
I just...
Copy !req
402. I just want the pour to go okay tomorrow.
Copy !req
403. - Ivan...
- Listen to me. You listen to me.
Copy !req
404. I want the pour to go okay,
not because of the money.
Copy !req
405. I want it to go right for myself
and for the building.
Copy !req
406. Right? And for the concrete.
Copy !req
407. I won't let it be pumped
into the wrong place. Do you understand?
Copy !req
408. Tonight and tomorrow,
I will stay on this and stay on this
Copy !req
409. and make sure
the concrete gets poured right.
Copy !req
410. Ivan, listen, I told
them about the 10 years.
Copy !req
411. - Fuck your 10 years.
- They weren't having any of it.
Copy !req
412. Listen to me, Gareth... Listen, Gareth.
Copy !req
413. The concrete will come
and I will take care of it, okay?
Copy !req
414. I know I don't have a job anymore,
but I will do this anyway
Copy !req
415. as a favor to the building
and to the concrete.
Copy !req
416. - Ivan, you sound different.
- I am the same.
Copy !req
417. Why didn't you just say you were sick?
Copy !req
418. Because I'm not sick,
and I'll make sure the pour is okay.
Copy !req
419. Yeah, but I've already handed it over
to another construction director.
Copy !req
420. Ivan, he's gonna pick it up from...
Copy !req
421. Katrina?
Copy !req
422. That didn't happen. I'm not believing it.
Copy !req
423. Katrina, I want to move
to a practical next step.
Copy !req
424. I'm here in the dark in our bedroom and...
Oh, God, nothing looks the same.
Copy !req
425. Ivan?
Copy !req
426. I can't... I can't speak very well. I...
Copy !req
427. I have felt scraped-out for months.
Copy !req
428. She phoned and said
that she was having a baby
Copy !req
429. and keeping it because
it was her last chance to be happy.
Copy !req
430. And then tonight she phoned and said
the waters broke and it's two months early.
Copy !req
431. I was... I was going to tell you before,
but the waters broke early,
Copy !req
432. so I have to do this now in the car.
Copy !req
433. - Every night I was going to tell you.
- God, I can't...
Copy !req
434. I can't really breathe.
Copy !req
435. Katrina, listen. You know
what happened with my dad, right?
Copy !req
436. And how that bastard wasn't around for me.
Copy !req
437. - Didn't even give me a fucking name.
- No, no, you're confused.
Copy !req
438. Ivan, it's you that's the bastard.
Copy !req
439. It's the baby that's the bastard.
Copy !req
440. For God's sake, Ivan,
at least get the word right.
Copy !req
441. Katrina, listen.
Copy !req
442. No, I will give the baby my name
and it will see my face.
Copy !req
443. It will know and
it won't spend its life thinking...
Copy !req
444. You know, thinking that nobody...
Copy !req
445. I've closed the door and I'm in the dark,
and I'm almost sure this isn't you.
Copy !req
446. Please don't be you.
Copy !req
447. I know, I should have said all this
a long time ago.
Copy !req
448. I'm so...
Copy !req
449. I have behaved not at all like myself.
Copy !req
450. - I suppose I gotta get up.
- Katrina, please, don't go.
Copy !req
451. - I have to throw up again.
- Please, don't...
Copy !req
452. - Donal?
- Okay. Ivan?
Copy !req
453. This isn't a question.
This isn't a question, okay?
Copy !req
454. But I just got off the phone
with the plant in Stafford,
Copy !req
455. and they said they know that it's a C6 mix,
Copy !req
456. but how far towards C5 can it go?
Copy !req
457. In other words, if one truck had some C5,
Copy !req
458. how bad would that be taken?
Copy !req
459. Are you still there?
Copy !req
460. Donal, what does it say on the whiteboard?
Copy !req
461. On the... It says C6.
Copy !req
462. What does it say on every piece of
paperwork and on every sign-off sheet?
Copy !req
463. - It says C6.
- Lt says C6.
Copy !req
464. And you know why?
Copy !req
465. Because, eventually, when my building
is complete, it will be 55 floors high.
Copy !req
466. It will weigh 2,223,000 metric tons.
Copy !req
467. Okay? My building will alter the
water table and squeeze granite.
Copy !req
468. It will be visible from 20 miles away.
Copy !req
469. At sunset, it will cast a shadow
probably a mile long.
Copy !req
470. Now, if the concrete
at the base of my building is not right,
Copy !req
471. if it slips half an inch, cracks appear.
Copy !req
472. Right? if cracks appear,
then they will grow and grow, won't they?
Copy !req
473. - And the whole thing will collapse.
- Ivan, look...
Copy !req
474. You make one mistake, Donal,
one little fucking mistake,
Copy !req
475. and the whole world
comes crashing down around you.
Copy !req
476. Do you understand?
So you tell Stafford, C6.
Copy !req
477. - C6 it is.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
478. - Kat, please, listen.
- Hey, Dad.
Copy !req
479. - What?
- Yeah, we're 1-nil down.
Copy !req
480. Is your mother there?
Copy !req
481. Damn.
Copy !req
482. Mum.
Copy !req
483. - Sean, will you go and get Mum?
- I'm watching the match.
Copy !req
484. Stupid penalty.
Are you listening on the radio?
Copy !req
485. - Is that Dad?
- No. No.
Copy !req
486. Tell him they've scored.
Copy !req
487. Dad, she's on the toilet, I think.
Copy !req
488. - Eddie...
- Yeah?
Copy !req
489. - What?
- It's okay. Don't worry about it.
Copy !req
490. It's fine. Listen, I'll talk to you
when it all settles down, okay?
Copy !req
491. - All right.
- Okay.
Copy !req
492. - Cool. Bye, Dad.
- Bye, Eddie. Bye-bye.
Copy !req
493. Ivan Locke.
Copy !req
494. Hello, this is Sister Margaret
from St. Mary's maternity unit.
Copy !req
495. Is everything okay?
Copy !req
496. I'm with Bethan Maguire.
Is it your partner?
Copy !req
497. I am the father.
Copy !req
498. She's quite distressed,
Copy !req
499. and we were wondering if someone
was gonna be with her for the birth.
Copy !req
500. She said she doesn't have anyone else.
Copy !req
501. Yes. I'm an hour away, I think,
if the traffic's okay.
Copy !req
502. Is she all right?
Copy !req
503. - Well, there's a complication.
- What is the complication?
Copy !req
504. It's a complication with
the umbilical cord,
Copy !req
505. and it means there will be a procedure,
and it would help if Dad was around.
Copy !req
506. - You are Dad?
- Yes, yes, I am.
Copy !req
507. I'm driving. I'm doing 90.
Copy !req
508. Well, please don't
drive dangerously or anything.
Copy !req
509. I won't. Listen, I will
be there very shortly.
Copy !req
510. Good. Okay, well, she's with the consultant
at the moment.
Copy !req
511. I just wanted to make sure
someone was coming.
Copy !req
512. Yes, well, I will, I'll be there.
Copy !req
513. Good. So what you need to do
is use the emergency entrance
Copy !req
514. - and ask for Bailey Ward.
- Bailey? Okay, I will do.
Copy !req
515. She's very emotional.
Copy !req
516. Well, she isn't used
to being emotional, I think.
Copy !req
517. I think she's normally a very quiet person.
Copy !req
518. - You are her partner?
- I am the father.
Copy !req
519. I don't...
Copy !req
520. I don't know her too well,
if you want the truth. But I'm coming.
Copy !req
521. - She's very afraid.
- I understand that.
Copy !req
522. I'm driving.
Copy !req
523. Yes, Donal.
Copy !req
524. Right, I've checked all the 12 pumps myself
and they're all pissing it out.
Copy !req
525. - Good. You are testing with C6?
- Yes, yeah, I see only C6.
Copy !req
526. - And you called all the plants?
- Yeah, I called all the plants.
Copy !req
527. And just so you know,
they all gave me dog's abuse for checking.
Copy !req
528. Excellent, and they have the
trucks lined up and the mix is in?
Copy !req
529. Yes, yeah, yeah. I ticked off each response
after all the fuck-yous and piss-offs,
Copy !req
530. - and it came to 6,500 cubic meters.
- Okay. What about the retardant?
Copy !req
531. The retardant's on site already,
ready to go into the trucks.
Copy !req
532. - Good. Now, do you have a pen?
- I have a pencil.
Copy !req
533. Well, get a pen.
Copy !req
534. Okay, I have a pen.
Copy !req
535. Good. Now, in the top right-hand drawer
Copy !req
536. above the blow-heater,
you'll find my folder.
Copy !req
537. Get it. it's going to
be your bible tonight.
Copy !req
538. Okay.
Copy !req
539. - I don't see any folder.
- Yes, no, it's there. It's there.
Copy !req
540. Okay? it's got everything
that you're going to need in there.
Copy !req
541. Right? All the numbers,
the sign-offs, the road closures
Copy !req
542. that you have to confirm with the police.
Copy !req
543. Now, it's in the drawer
above the blow-heater.
Copy !req
544. Well, the blow-heater was taken
by the fucking Hungarians.
Copy !req
545. You'd think they'd be used to the cold,
wouldn't you?
Copy !req
546. Donal, you do know
which drawer that I mean, right?
Copy !req
547. It's not here. I've
checked all the drawers.
Copy !req
548. Well, it is...
Copy !req
549. Fuck.
Copy !req
550. What? What?
Copy !req
551. - Fuck off.
- What? Me?
Copy !req
552. No, not you. I have it here. Shit!
Copy !req
553. All the things you are going to need,
and I have it fucking here in my car.
Copy !req
554. Well, I've never...
Copy !req
555. You know, Ivan,
in all the 10 years I've known you,
Copy !req
556. I've never...
I've never known you to fuck up like this.
Copy !req
557. What the fuck's going on?
Copy !req
558. Okay, Donal...
Copy !req
559. Will you just give me some time to think?
Copy !req
560. Fuck!
Copy !req
561. Are you okay?
Copy !req
562. Okay? Okay?
Copy !req
563. Kat, please. Just hear
what I want to say...
Copy !req
564. Of all the things in the world,
I never thought of you doing this!
Copy !req
565. - Katrina, don't let the boys hear.
- You fucked some girl.
Copy !req
566. - Quietly, quietly.
- You fucked her and then me.
Copy !req
567. I looked at my diary and I checked.
Copy !req
568. I remember when you got home
from Croydon that weekend,
Copy !req
569. and you had a big stupid grin on your face.
Copy !req
570. The block was in. I was happy with it.
Copy !req
571. - And I sit in the dark.
- Lt was once.
Copy !req
572. Once!
Copy !req
573. The difference between once and never
is the whole world.
Copy !req
574. The difference between never and once
is the difference between good and bad.
Copy !req
575. - I know that.
- You don't know.
Copy !req
576. - I know.
- No, you don't know anything.
Copy !req
577. I know.
Copy !req
578. Yeah, yeah, no.
You had a big stupid grin that night.
Copy !req
579. It was work. The block was down.
Copy !req
580. - You fucked someone.
- Lt was an odd night.
Copy !req
581. There wasn't really a bad thought
in anybody's head.
Copy !req
582. - You had a big fucking grin.
- That isn't it.
Copy !req
583. Yeah, like you'd won something.
Copy !req
584. I remember you smiling
and putting your coat on the stairs.
Copy !req
585. I thought you'd won something.
Copy !req
586. I was trying to be normal.
Copy !req
587. I can't remember. Look, the block was in.
Copy !req
588. And that stuff about the baby.
You think she's having a baby?
Copy !req
589. Yes, she's having the baby tonight.
Copy !req
590. Is she?
Copy !req
591. Forget that. You're a clown.
Copy !req
592. Forget that. You're a stupid clown.
Copy !req
593. You think it's yours?
Copy !req
594. Why would it be yours
if she fucks everybody?
Copy !req
595. She doesn't.
Copy !req
596. If she fucks you, she fucks everybody.
Copy !req
597. She isn't like that.
She had given up on having anything.
Copy !req
598. I can't believe it's me and you
and we're talking about somebody else.
Copy !req
599. Like somebody broke into the house.
I just...
Copy !req
600. I can't...
Copy !req
601. I want to talk about a practical next step.
Copy !req
602. Did you say she's not like that?
Copy !req
603. You were with her one night
and you know her?
Copy !req
604. You have a call waiting.
Copy !req
605. She doesn't do that. She hadn't for years.
Copy !req
606. Okay? Afterwards she was sad.
Copy !req
607. Did you say sad?
Copy !req
608. - Yes?
- I think we got cut off.
Copy !req
609. Shit. Okay, yes. I have the file here.
Copy !req
610. Hang on a second.
Copy !req
611. Okay, I have the file here.
Copy !req
612. - Right.
- I'm going to have to give you
Copy !req
613. some information over the phone,
Copy !req
614. and you're going
to have to write it down, okay?
Copy !req
615. Okay.
Copy !req
616. Donal, are you drinking something?
What are you drinking?
Copy !req
617. A nice bottle of fizzy pop.
Copy !req
618. Okay, I need you to call the duty officer
at Belmount Police Station
Copy !req
619. and confirm some road closures
for the morning, okay?
Copy !req
620. Do you still have the pen?
Copy !req
621. - Yeah.
- Right, okay.
Copy !req
622. Here are the roads
we agreed with the council
Copy !req
623. that need to be closed to traffic
for the duration of the pour,
Copy !req
624. which is from 5:25 a.m. to midday.
Copy !req
625. Yeah, okay, go.
Copy !req
626. Crescent Road between Arch Green
and Claremount.
Copy !req
627. - Planetree Road at the south end only.
- Planetree Road at the south end only, yeah.
Copy !req
628. The Vale up to Parklands Farm Road.
Copy !req
629. - Okay, yeah.
- But with the stop-go operated by us.
Copy !req
630. Yeah, got that.
Copy !req
631. You'll need to quote
the license number 750...
Copy !req
632. - 750.
- ... slash DV. Okay?
Copy !req
633. Slash DV. Cool. Okay. Got it.
Copy !req
634. Good. Donal?
It is fizzy pop that you're drinking, yes?
Copy !req
635. It is. It is.
Copy !req
636. Because if you are on the fucking cider
and I find out,
Copy !req
637. I will cut your legs off
with a fucking pavement saw.
Copy !req
638. Will you? Right.
Now, Ivan... Ivan, listen to me.
Copy !req
639. There's no need
for you to talk to me like that, okay?
Copy !req
640. Because I've got six calls here
that I'm looking at
Copy !req
641. stacked up on this phone from Gareth,
and I'm guessing what they are
Copy !req
642. and what he's saying to me
on the phone calls.
Copy !req
643. But I agreed that I'm not gonna take
those phone calls from Gareth
Copy !req
644. because I'm fucking shitting my pants here,
you know, about tomorrow going pear,
Copy !req
645. and I don't want him to give me
some fucking college kid on the phone
Copy !req
646. trying to talk me through
this from scratch.
Copy !req
647. So, as far as I'm concerned,
until the sun comes up,
Copy !req
648. yours is the only voice
I'm gonna listen to.
Copy !req
649. But hear this, don't fucking threaten me!
Copy !req
650. - Okay?
- You have a call waiting.
Copy !req
651. You have no official position now
to threaten me from,
Copy !req
652. so don't fucking threaten me!
Copy !req
653. So it is cider that you're drinking?
Copy !req
654. One can of cider, yeah! So fucking what?
Copy !req
655. Eat something.
Copy !req
656. Do you know what?
I'm not actually that hungry at the moment.
Copy !req
657. Okay, now let me get these calls
to these fucking coppers
Copy !req
658. and confirm the road closures,
Copy !req
659. and then I'll call you back
for further instructions.
Copy !req
660. Over and fucking out.
Copy !req
661. Fuck!
Copy !req
662. Right.
Copy !req
663. Ivan Locke.
Copy !req
664. They say there's a twist.
Copy !req
665. A what?
Copy !req
666. It's round the baby's neck like a noose.
Copy !req
667. Well, you're in the best place. Honestly,
you are. You're in the best place.
Copy !req
668. They let me use my phone for one minute.
Copy !req
669. - When will you get here?
- About 45 minutes.
Copy !req
670. I'm outside Northampton.
The traffic is okay.
Copy !req
671. It's like waiting for God, or...
Waiting for Godot.
Copy !req
672. Sorry, you're not a theater man.
Copy !req
673. And not a reader of books and not a talker.
Copy !req
674. A builder. Funny, isn't it?
Copy !req
675. It's funny it was someone like you,
someone so opposite to me.
Copy !req
676. All the things I love
mean absolutely zero to you.
Copy !req
677. The important thing is to get the baby out.
Copy !req
678. Well, the news is,
they're resorting to knives.
Copy !req
679. Well, by the sound of you,
they're giving you gas, are they?
Copy !req
680. Yeah, they think
they might have to cut me open
Copy !req
681. because I'm too old to push.
Copy !req
682. That's okay, that's okay.
They do that as a routine. It's okay.
Copy !req
683. It's better, in fact.
Copy !req
684. "In fact"? Is that so?
Copy !req
685. Yes. The traffic is okay.
Copy !req
686. They're taking blood.
Copy !req
687. Well, just do what they say.
Copy !req
688. And someone keeps opening the window.
Copy !req
689. Tell them you're cold.
Copy !req
690. They talk around me.
I need someone here to speak for me.
Copy !req
691. They said the umbilical
cord is like a noose.
Copy !req
692. A lifeline and a noose at the same time.
It's funny, isn't it?
Copy !req
693. Bethan... Bethan...
Copy !req
694. Bethan?
Copy !req
695. Jesus.
Copy !req
696. You think this is all fate, don't you, Dad?
Copy !req
697. Your dirty fucking
fingerprints all over me.
Copy !req
698. You thought it was bound to happen because
of the little seeds that you planted.
Copy !req
699. Okay, well, let me educate you.
Copy !req
700. Even no matter what the situation is,
you can make it good,
Copy !req
701. like with plaster and brick.
Copy !req
702. You never knew that because you never
lifted a finger, you fucking lazy cunt.
Copy !req
703. But you know what?
You can take a situation
Copy !req
704. and you can draw a circle around it
Copy !req
705. and find a way to work something out.
Copy !req
706. You don't just drive away from it.
Copy !req
707. No. Or sit in the corner of some
greasy little fucking pub somewhere
Copy !req
708. like you're the fucking
happy little maverick.
Copy !req
709. I could come for you
with a pick and a shovel, I really could,
Copy !req
710. and dig you up
and it would be a happy day in hell
Copy !req
711. because they would be rid of you for a bit.
Copy !req
712. You know what?
I could just drive around the M25
Copy !req
713. and head to Dover or some-fucking-where
and not face it, couldn't I?
Copy !req
714. Just earn good money, cash in hand,
working on the Crossrail.
Copy !req
715. They make 500 a day just shoveling shit,
Copy !req
716. shoveling shit about like you.
Copy !req
717. No, I'm going to drive
straight to the worst place for me,
Copy !req
718. the worst place on earth for me to be,
even though this woman is like...
Copy !req
719. She's, like, sad and lonely,
hardly bothered with life at all.
Copy !req
720. I felt sorry for her, you know?
Copy !req
721. I felt sorry for her.
Copy !req
722. So, how can that be the difference
between good and bad?
Copy !req
723. Yeah!
Copy !req
724. Yeah, that was wicked!
Dad, are you listening to this?
Copy !req
725. 2-1 to us. Two goals in three minutes.
Copy !req
726. Dad, seriously, you gotta put it
on the radio. It's brilliant.
Copy !req
727. - Is your mother there?
- No, she's upstairs on the toilet.
Copy !req
728. She's been in there ages.
Copy !req
729. She's wearing the shirt,
but she won't come down.
Copy !req
730. Do you want me to call her?
Copy !req
731. No, no, just leave her. It's okay.
Copy !req
732. Go on, you enjoy the game.
Copy !req
733. 2-1. We're winning.
Dad, why aren't you going mad?
Copy !req
734. I am, Eddie, I'm going mad inside.
Copy !req
735. But I'm driving and I'm...
Copy !req
736. Come on.
Copy !req
737. Please.
Copy !req
738. Answer the phone. Please, please, please.
Copy !req
739. - Duty desk.
- Hello. PC Davids?
Copy !req
740. - Speaking.
- Yes.
Copy !req
741. It's lvan Locke from the Park project.
Copy !req
742. I was wondering if anyone had
called you about road closures.
Copy !req
743. Yeah, we had some lrish guy.
Said he was standing in.
Copy !req
744. Good, yes. I'm just double-checking
the closures are all confirmed, yes?
Copy !req
745. One minute.
Copy !req
746. No, there's... There's a problem
Copy !req
747. - with the Vale stop and go.
- What?
Copy !req
748. There's a problem with
the Vale stop and go.
Copy !req
749. Shit!
Copy !req
750. The council, they've questioned
the license at the last minute.
Copy !req
751. - Shit.
- So...
Copy !req
752. I was gonna call them in the morning.
Copy !req
753. - Well, it's too late.
- I'm sorry?
Copy !req
754. We have to control the road to get
the trucks in and out of the south gate.
Copy !req
755. Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Locke.
Copy !req
756. You'll have to take that
up with the council.
Copy !req
757. - But it's 9:00.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
758. Well, the council offices
are closed, aren't they?
Copy !req
759. That's right, but I can't ratify until
the council sign off on the stop and go.
Copy !req
760. Okay, no, I understand. Okay, I understand.
Copy !req
761. You'll get a call.
How long are you on duty for?
Copy !req
762. You have a call waiting.
Copy !req
763. Well, you've got another 25 minutes.
Copy !req
764. Okay, look, you'll get a call, okay?
You'll get a call.
Copy !req
765. Ivan, we have a problem
with the stop and go.
Copy !req
766. I know, I just heard. I'm dealing with it.
Copy !req
767. In the meantime, I need you
to go and check the shuttering
Copy !req
768. and get it signed off.
Copy !req
769. No, the shuttering boys have all gone home.
Copy !req
770. Even so, you still have to go
and check the rebars, don't you?
Copy !req
771. Go and do it now. Take a shovel
Copy !req
772. and a pressure meter and a torch
and get into the holes.
Copy !req
773. - Jesus. Jesus.
- I mean it.
Copy !req
774. Okay, but if this is just to stop me
drinking, you can fuck right off.
Copy !req
775. Listen, I'm hoping
your conscience will stop you drinking.
Copy !req
776. The shuttering has to be checked.
Go... Go and do it. Go.
Copy !req
777. - Hello?
- Sean, it's Dad.
Copy !req
778. Dad, I can't believe you're not here.
It's amazing. 2-1.
Copy !req
779. I know, I know. Sean...
Copy !req
780. Sorry.
Copy !req
781. Sean, I need you to do me a favor.
Copy !req
782. - There's...
- You have a call waiting.
Copy !req
783. There's been a cock-up at work
and I need to speak to someone.
Copy !req
784. In my blue coat in the kitchen, yes?
There's a notebook.
Copy !req
785. There's a phone number in the notebook
of somebody called Cassidy
Copy !req
786. who works for the council clerk of works.
I need the number.
Copy !req
787. - Why don't you ask Mum?
- Please... Sean, please.
Copy !req
788. Just get the number. Text it to me.
Copy !req
789. Cassidy. It's under "C." it's very urgent.
Copy !req
790. Dad, is Mum all right?
Copy !req
791. She hasn't come down. It's half-time.
Copy !req
792. Sean, in the morning
I will talk to you about everything, okay?
Copy !req
793. Now, you just get me
the number of Cassidy, please.
Copy !req
794. - Hello. Can I speak to Ivan Locke?
- This is lvan Locke.
Copy !req
795. I'm Dr. Halil Gullu. I'm the senior
obstetrician at St. Mary's Hospital.
Copy !req
796. - You have a call waiting.
- We have a Bethan Maguire here
Copy !req
797. who's given us this number
as the number of her next of kin.
Copy !req
798. - Are you her next of kin?
- What's happening?
Copy !req
799. I'm sorry. Are you the next of kin?
Copy !req
800. - I am the father.
- Excuse me. Hang on.
Copy !req
801. I'll deal with that.
Copy !req
802. Mr. Locke, I'm sorry,
we have a situation here
Copy !req
803. where the baby's umbilical cord
is wrapped around the baby's neck.
Copy !req
804. - Yes, I know. Yes.
- And the baby is very distressed.
Copy !req
805. And you're going to carry out a cesarean.
Copy !req
806. Yes, that's right, but Miss Maguire says
she wants to wait until you are here.
Copy !req
807. Well, she's distressed.
She's quite an odd person, I think.
Copy !req
808. Look, if we're gonna get her to cooperate,
I really need you to speak to her.
Copy !req
809. Of course you do, absolutely.
Go on, put her on.
Copy !req
810. Thank you very much. Please hold the line.
Copy !req
811. - Bethan.
- They want to do it now.
Copy !req
812. Right, well, let them do it.
I've said let them do it.
Copy !req
813. It doesn't matter if I'm not there
for the moment of the birth
Copy !req
814. because I will still be
there in the morning,
Copy !req
815. before morning, in fact,
and it will still be the same day.
Copy !req
816. - Where are you?
- I'm on the motorway.
Copy !req
817. Luton. Now, you let them do it
and don't be silly.
Copy !req
818. Fuck you!
Copy !req
819. Ivan, you know I told
them it was one night.
Copy !req
820. I told them about the room
and feeling so sad after.
Copy !req
821. - Yes.
- But the nurse said,
Copy !req
822. "if he's coming all this way down,
he must feel something."
Copy !req
823. - if it was just once and I get pregnant...
- You're distressed.
Copy !req
824. it's fate.
Copy !req
825. I told them I love you,
even if it was just once.
Copy !req
826. Well, there's no need to say that.
Copy !req
827. - And it'll be ours.
- Yes.
Copy !req
828. How far away are you?
Copy !req
829. Bethan.
Copy !req
830. Now, a baby is something
that cannot be stopped.
Copy !req
831. You have to take
all the practical steps to prepare.
Copy !req
832. - You want me to let them cut me open.
- Yes. I mean, it is the best thing.
Copy !req
833. Okay. I'll do it because I love you.
Copy !req
834. Okay, then.
Copy !req
835. Can you not say it back, even once?
Copy !req
836. No, I can't. Look... I can't.
Copy !req
837. But I can be there
as fast as the traffic will allow.
Copy !req
838. Ivan, I just found Sean
looking through your pockets.
Copy !req
839. - He said you asked him for a phone number.
- Yes.
Copy !req
840. Now, at this moment,
you need a phone number?
Copy !req
841. I know how it looks, but I need to...
I need to confirm a stop and go.
Copy !req
842. Tomorrow there's a pour.
It's a big... it is historical.
Copy !req
843. - It is the biggest pour in Europe.
- Can you hear yourself, Ivan?
Copy !req
844. I'm falling apart at home
and you're closing roads?
Copy !req
845. It's not a closure, it's a stop and go.
Copy !req
846. The woman is giving birth
and you're closing roads.
Copy !req
847. Since you've told me about this woman,
Copy !req
848. you have been getting
further and further away from who I know.
Copy !req
849. No, actually, it might be that I do know.
Copy !req
850. In the... In the kitchen,
your footprints, they go hard
Copy !req
851. and I have to chip them away.
Copy !req
852. You leave concrete behind you everywhere.
Copy !req
853. Katrina, I love you.
Copy !req
854. Okay? I made one mistake.
Copy !req
855. I don't feel anything for this woman,
Copy !req
856. and I'm trying to do the
right thing tonight,
Copy !req
857. because she is on her own
and the baby is my fault.
Copy !req
858. And I know how it feels
to be coming out into the world like this.
Copy !req
859. There is someone being brought
into the world and it's my fault.
Copy !req
860. - So I have to fix it, somehow.
- Oh, my God.
Copy !req
861. I would really like it if you would say
that you will wait and I can come back
Copy !req
862. and we can talk... We can talk about it
Copy !req
863. and that we can fix something up.
Copy !req
864. I really want to know
that tomorrow I can drive home
Copy !req
865. and talk to the boys
and be at home as normal,
Copy !req
866. and we can go out or something
and have a drink and talk about it.
Copy !req
867. I want to know
that I am not driving in one direction...
Copy !req
868. I want to know that I will be driving back
when the sun comes up.
Copy !req
869. Ivan, let me ask you a question.
Copy !req
870. Do you still want me to give you the
phone number so you can close the road?
Copy !req
871. Yes.
Copy !req
872. Right, well, goodbye, lvan.
Copy !req
873. Yes.
Copy !req
874. I think I've just done something
on my own initiative.
Copy !req
875. You did?
Copy !req
876. I found the mobile number for
the council guy who signs off the closures.
Copy !req
877. - Cassidy?
- Yeah, Cassidy. That's him.
Copy !req
878. You found his number?
Copy !req
879. Yeah, I have his mobile number.
I knew you'd need it.
Copy !req
880. You took it over Christmas in case,
and I found it.
Copy !req
881. - Donal, you did that?
- Yeah!
Copy !req
882. And that's on two cans of fucking cider.
Do you want it?
Copy !req
883. Okay, right. Well, give me the number.
Copy !req
884. Okay, okay, okay.
Copy !req
885. - 07700-900...
- 077... Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Copy !req
886. 07700...
Copy !req
887. - 900957.
- 07700-900.
Copy !req
888. - 077...
- 957.
Copy !req
889. - 00...
- Okay, yeah.
Copy !req
890. - 900557.
- No, no, no. 957.
Copy !req
891. 900957.
Copy !req
892. - 957. Did you write it down?
- No, it's in my head. Thank you.
Copy !req
893. 957.
Copy !req
894. Jesus.
Copy !req
895. Pick up the phone. Pick up the phone.
Copy !req
896. Pick up the phone.
Copy !req
897. - Hello?
- Mr. Cassidy?
Copy !req
898. It's lvan Locke from the Park project.
Copy !req
899. Who?
Copy !req
900. I'm running the site at Claremount.
We've some road closures agreed.
Copy !req
901. - How did you get this number?
- You gave it to me.
Copy !req
902. You gave it to me
in case anything came up over Christmas.
Copy !req
903. - Yeah, well, it's not Christmas.
- Yes, but I need a sign-off.
Copy !req
904. - I'm in an Indian restaurant.
- Yes, but I need a sign-off.
Copy !req
905. - Seriously, I need it.
- I told you, I'm in an lndian restaurant.
Copy !req
906. Okay, if I give you the number of the duty
officer at the Belmount Police Station...
Copy !req
907. - This'll have to wait. Sorry.
- No, please. Shit.
Copy !req
908. - No, please, please, please.
- No.
Copy !req
909. - Please. Please... No.
- This will have to wait.
Copy !req
910. Without this... it can't wait.
Copy !req
911. - Concrete is coming tomorrow.
- I'm in a bloody lndian restaurant!
Copy !req
912. Yes, I know and I'm really sorry.
Copy !req
913. Please. I just need you, please,
to call the duty officer.
Copy !req
914. - You're Ivan Locke?
- Yes.
Copy !req
915. I remember you. You ran a tight ship.
Copy !req
916. Yes.
Copy !req
917. The only construction director
who gave us paperwork ahead of time.
Copy !req
918. Yes, yes, but tonight, I'm sorry,
things have just...
Copy !req
919. They've happened beyond my control.
Copy !req
920. Okay, okay, okay.
Copy !req
921. - Give me the bloody number.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
922. Okay. 07957-452...
Copy !req
923. You know, I could have easily
let the concrete go to hell,
Copy !req
924. but I didn't.
Copy !req
925. You know, Dad, when you came
creeping back, saying you were sorry,
Copy !req
926. it was even worse than staying away.
Copy !req
927. Yes, I'm serious.
Copy !req
928. I could have broken
your fucking back for that, but I didn't.
Copy !req
929. And the fact that I could have done it
was worse than anything, you know?
Copy !req
930. Because you were so fucking weak.
Copy !req
931. That was the first thing I noticed.
So weak.
Copy !req
932. All the things I fucking despise
inside one fucking stupid green shirt.
Copy !req
933. You looked pathetic.
Copy !req
934. My fucking dad in...
What were they? They were trainers.
Copy !req
935. They were some sort of fucking trainers
that teenagers wear.
Copy !req
936. And your hair was all over the place.
Copy !req
937. You don't drink anymore
and you don't fucking smoke dope.
Copy !req
938. We're all supposed to celebrate, is
that it? Celebrate what, exactly?
Copy !req
939. I was 23 years old
Copy !req
940. and this old cunt
comes from the fucking blue sky.
Copy !req
941. He says, "Guess what, everybody. I've..."
Copy !req
942. - What?
- Ivan.
Copy !req
943. - What?
- Ivan, it's all going to hell.
Copy !req
944. What?
Copy !req
945. The rebars in the shuttering in pit six,
they wouldn't hold a fucking kitten's fart.
Copy !req
946. It's those mavericks from up north
we put in there at the last minute.
Copy !req
947. - What tension did they hold?
- They hold nothing!
Copy !req
948. They hold nothing at all.
It came away with a push.
Copy !req
949. Is there anybody there?
Copy !req
950. No, shutterers all went home ages ago.
They're not in till 6:00.
Copy !req
951. - Right, call the Albanian.
- No, I've tried the Albanian.
Copy !req
952. He's not answering.
Nobody's answering. Nobody's answering.
Copy !req
953. There's some fucking football game on!
Copy !req
954. - Could you call in your sons?
- No, they're in Germany.
Copy !req
955. - They're digging out missile silos.
- Okay, okay, Donal. Here's what you do.
Copy !req
956. You drive down to the ring road
near the fire station, okay?
Copy !req
957. And you'll see a road gang laying lines.
Copy !req
958. You ask for a guy called Stefan.
He's Polish.
Copy !req
959. Tell him there's 500 pounds for him
and two of his best diggers
Copy !req
960. if they can get down and
fix up some rebars.
Copy !req
961. A road gang?
Copy !req
962. Yes, I know. But I know them. I know them.
Copy !req
963. They're slumming it for the cash.
Stefan is the best concrete farmer I know.
Copy !req
964. Now, you mention my name. He owes me.
Copy !req
965. So, do I have to drive down there?
Can I not just ring them?
Copy !req
966. Donal, how many ciders have you had?
Copy !req
967. Donal?
Copy !req
968. Donal, I don't have Stefan's number.
You'll need to drive down there.
Copy !req
969. They'll be knocking off
and going home in, like, half an hour.
Copy !req
970. Okay, Ivan, I'm gonna be straight with you.
Copy !req
971. I'm not drunk.
Copy !req
972. I'm not drunk, okay, but
I've had too much to get behind a wheel.
Copy !req
973. If I get stopped again, I go inside.
Copy !req
974. And I can't do that.
Copy !req
975. Okay, then you run.
Copy !req
976. - I run?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
977. Stefan and his men will knock off
in half an hour due to council regulations
Copy !req
978. because they can't burn
bitumen lights after 10:00.
Copy !req
979. So if you run, you'll get there
before they get in their van.
Copy !req
980. What do you mean, run?
I'm not gonna fucking run.
Copy !req
981. You will fucking run, Donal.
Copy !req
982. - I haven't... I'm not...
- You will fucking run now.
Copy !req
983. Go, or my building won't get built.
Copy !req
984. - Are you mad?
- Yes.
Copy !req
985. - Run? I'm not...
- Yes, I'm mad.
Copy !req
986. Tonight I've gone mad
and I will have to get used to being mad.
Copy !req
987. - You have a call waiting.
- And Donal...
Copy !req
988. - I can hear in your voice when you're drunk.
- I'm not.
Copy !req
989. No, but when you're drunk,
you can run faster, can't you?
Copy !req
990. For a while at least.
You can run like a fucking kid.
Copy !req
991. You can run like the fucking wind.
Copy !req
992. So I'm gonna get out of my boots
and put on my trainers?
Copy !req
993. - My run-fast trainers?
- Yes, yes. Then you run.
Copy !req
994. So you want me to run?
Run for those fucking bastards in Chicago
Copy !req
995. who don't give a shit
if I live or if I die?
Copy !req
996. No, you do it for the piece of sky
we are stealing with our building.
Copy !req
997. You do it for the air
that will be displaced,
Copy !req
998. and most of all
you do it for the fucking concrete.
Copy !req
999. Because it is delicate as blood.
Copy !req
1000. You really have gone fucking mad, right?
Copy !req
1001. Well, that would be a fair assessment, yes.
Copy !req
1002. All right.
Copy !req
1003. - Right, lvan, here I go!
- You're a good man, Donal.
Copy !req
1004. You are, you're a good man.
Go on now, run. Run!
Copy !req
1005. It will work out. I will make sure of it.
Copy !req
1006. You'll see. You'll see.
Copy !req
1007. You see, you take things in your own hands,
Copy !req
1008. and you push against it
and you push against it until it's upright.
Copy !req
1009. And you stick to the plan.
Copy !req
1010. Hi. This is Bethan.
I can't get to the phone right now.
Copy !req
1011. Please leave a message.
Copy !req
1012. Bethan, it's me.
Copy !req
1013. I know they're operating on you right now,
but I just wanted to say good luck.
Copy !req
1014. Good luck, Bethan.
This baby is a good thing.
Copy !req
1015. And you deserve to be happy.
Copy !req
1016. You see? Life.
Copy !req
1017. Yes, life sentence.
Copy !req
1018. So what?
Copy !req
1019. I will do what needs to be done,
even if they hate me or love me.
Copy !req
1020. You have to be solid
Copy !req
1021. so that it makes no difference
what they think.
Copy !req
1022. You know,
if I were to bury you tonight, again,
Copy !req
1023. before I threw dirt on your face,
Copy !req
1024. I would say, "Look.
Copy !req
1025. "Look and fucking learn."
Copy !req
1026. I drove in this direction
Copy !req
1027. and there will be a new person
when I get there.
Copy !req
1028. Yes, because of that night.
Copy !req
1029. Constructed out of two bottles of wine
and somebody feeling lonely.
Copy !req
1030. How could you ever beat that
for a construction?
Copy !req
1031. - Hey, Dad.
- Sean.
Copy !req
1032. - We won.
- What was the score?
Copy !req
1033. - 3-1.
- Good. Good.
Copy !req
1034. Good.
Copy !req
1035. Caldwell, Robinson and Caldwell again.
Copy !req
1036. Good.
Copy !req
1037. Is everything okay?
Copy !req
1038. Yeah.
Copy !req
1039. No.
Copy !req
1040. Mum looks like she's seen a ghost.
She broke some plates.
Copy !req
1041. Yes, well, something's happened.
Copy !req
1042. I'll explain when I'm not driving.
Copy !req
1043. She's upstairs.
Copy !req
1044. Yes, I'll explain when I'm not driving
Copy !req
1045. and when I'm with you
and Eddie together, you know?
Copy !req
1046. L...
Copy !req
1047. I've only just explained it to myself.
Copy !req
1048. She said you're not coming home ever.
Copy !req
1049. Well, she's distressed.
Copy !req
1050. Are you coming home?
Copy !req
1051. Where else would I go?
Copy !req
1052. So I'll tell Eddie that
you are coming home?
Copy !req
1053. He's been crying.
Copy !req
1054. Look, when I get to the
other end, I'll call.
Copy !req
1055. Sean, you tell Eddie that it's okay,
Copy !req
1056. that I'll make it okay, okay?
Copy !req
1057. Doesn't feel like it's okay.
Copy !req
1058. Felt different after half-time.
Copy !req
1059. I'll fix it and it'll
all go back to normal.
Copy !req
1060. - Now, you should go to bed.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1061. - Third goal was amazing.
- Caldwell?
Copy !req
1062. - Took it round the keeper.
- Good God. Caldwell's a donkey.
Copy !req
1063. Normally he's a donkey,
but tonight he was brilliant.
Copy !req
1064. It's a miracle. What a miracle!
Copy !req
1065. Right, that's it. Go on, good night.
Copy !req
1066. - Night, Dad. See you tomorrow.
- Yes, absolutely, hopefully.
Copy !req
1067. We'll see you tomorrow. See you tomorrow.
Copy !req
1068. You know, I nearly got fucking run down
by a taxi there, running.
Copy !req
1069. - Did you find Stefan?
- Jesus Christ.
Copy !req
1070. Yeah, okay.
Copy !req
1071. Right, I can see the flames.
They're burning.
Copy !req
1072. Oh, my God. They're burning the road.
Copy !req
1073. - I can smell...
- You have a call waiting.
Copy !req
1074. - The bitumen, it's getting in my throat.
- His name is Stefan, Donal.
Copy !req
1075. Give them 500 each.
Copy !req
1076. Oh, man, Ivan, I'm fucking... I'm fucked!
Copy !req
1077. You sound sober.
Copy !req
1078. Now, listen, you tell Stefan
to bring two men and a jack.
Copy !req
1079. 500 apiece.
Copy !req
1080. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
1081. Yeah, I'll call you
when I've got the Poles in my... Fuck!
Copy !req
1082. In my grasp, okay?
Copy !req
1083. Jesus, my heart's coming out...
Copy !req
1084. Stefan is a good man.
Copy !req
1085. He will fix the pit and check the others.
All 12 pumps will work.
Copy !req
1086. The stop-go will run.
Copy !req
1087. The north, south, east and west gates
will all take their quarter of concrete.
Copy !req
1088. The baby will be born.
Copy !req
1089. And Katrina will be okay.
Copy !req
1090. In the morning she will be okay.
Copy !req
1091. That is how it can be. That is my prayer.
Copy !req
1092. And when the baby is born,
Copy !req
1093. when he's seven or when she's seven,
Copy !req
1094. it'll say it's okay.
Copy !req
1095. And the name will be Locke.
Locke is okay. We do okay.
Copy !req
1096. Because...
Because I straightened the name out.
Copy !req
1097. The Lockes were a long line of shit,
but I straightened the name out.
Copy !req
1098. You know what, you old bastard?
You know what? I know now.
Copy !req
1099. I know now why you ran away.
Copy !req
1100. Yeah?
Copy !req
1101. Okay, okay, okay.
I'm in a van with three Poles
Copy !req
1102. who smell like fucking burning rooftops.
Copy !req
1103. And they said 600, right,
so I guess you're gonna say yeah?
Copy !req
1104. - Yes.
- Yeah, good, okay.
Copy !req
1105. This guy Stefan,
he doesn't say much, does he?
Copy !req
1106. - Well, no, but he's a good man.
- You want a word with him?
Copy !req
1107. No. Stefan knows what to do.
You'll be okay now, Donal.
Copy !req
1108. - Yeah, yeah.
- You fix up the rebars
Copy !req
1109. and start preparing the gates.
Copy !req
1110. - Okay.
- Lt will be a long night.
Copy !req
1111. Jesus, I'm stone-cold sober now.
Copy !req
1112. I know. I know. It all worked out.
Copy !req
1113. - What?
- I said...
Copy !req
1114. Wait, wait, wait...
Stefan just said, "Say hello."
Copy !req
1115. He said, "Say hello to Ivan Locke."
Copy !req
1116. What? Right.
Copy !req
1117. He says to say
you're the best man in England.
Copy !req
1118. - Ivan?
- Yes.
Copy !req
1119. I've decided.
Copy !req
1120. Kat, you know what?
We can work this out. I know we can.
Copy !req
1121. No, no, no. I've spoken to my
sister and my half-sister.
Copy !req
1122. And the difference between
once and never is everything.
Copy !req
1123. So, that's it. And it never is once anyway.
Copy !req
1124. - Katrina, listen...
- I don't want you to come back, lvan.
Copy !req
1125. This is not your home anymore
and I want you to stay away.
Copy !req
1126. Katrina, please, listen.
Copy !req
1127. We will make arrangements
for seeing the boys.
Copy !req
1128. But, look, I... I don't
want you coming here.
Copy !req
1129. You were always more in love
with your buildings anyway.
Copy !req
1130. Why don't you go and live in one of them?
Copy !req
1131. I mean, right at the top
where you like to look out
Copy !req
1132. and feel so pleased with yourself.
Copy !req
1133. Hey, I'm gonna wash everything here,
Copy !req
1134. wash it all out 10 times
to get the dust of you out of it.
Copy !req
1135. I won't have to deal with your footprints
Copy !req
1136. turning to stone
on the kitchen floor anymore.
Copy !req
1137. It's finished. This isn't your home.
Copy !req
1138. Ivan Locke.
Copy !req
1139. Ivan, I've put
a construction director onto this.
Copy !req
1140. He's tried to reach Donal 100 times,
but Donal isn't picking up.
Copy !req
1141. Are you there, lvan?
Copy !req
1142. Yes.
Copy !req
1143. Look, can you reach Donal and tell him
he's got to pick up his phone immediately?
Copy !req
1144. Ivan?
Copy !req
1145. Tell your construction director
there's no need to speak to Donal.
Copy !req
1146. Everything's already taken care of.
Copy !req
1147. Ivan, for fuck's sake, I can't do this.
Copy !req
1148. Everything is taken care of
and everything is ready for 5:25.
Copy !req
1149. - There will be no mistakes.
- You have a call waiting.
Copy !req
1150. I have made sure of everything
and I've made sure everything is in place.
Copy !req
1151. You can go to sleep now, Gareth.
Good night.
Copy !req
1152. You know, I actually threw up earlier.
Copy !req
1153. - Yeah?
- Fucking yeah.
Copy !req
1154. Well, hear this, Gareth.
Copy !req
1155. When I left the site
just over two hours ago,
Copy !req
1156. I had a job, a wife, a home.
Copy !req
1157. And now I have none of those things.
I have none of those things left.
Copy !req
1158. I just have myself and the car that I'm in.
Copy !req
1159. And I'm just driving and that's it.
Copy !req
1160. Ivan, you fucked up your life,
that's your business,
Copy !req
1161. but Chicago is going insane.
Copy !req
1162. Two words I learned tonight.
Copy !req
1163. Fuck Chicago.
Copy !req
1164. This is lvan Locke. Please leave a message.
Copy !req
1165. Hey, Dad. it's Eddie.
Copy !req
1166. I'm on my mobile. I'm under the duvet.
Copy !req
1167. L... I just wanted to
tell you about the goal.
Copy !req
1168. Caldwell got it in
and he controlled it, you know?
Copy !req
1169. You know how you shout at him
because it always flies off into the crowd?
Copy !req
1170. Yeah, he controlled it
and he got it down on the ground,
Copy !req
1171. and you know how you say
he just lumps it forward all the time?
Copy !req
1172. Well, he got it down on the ground.
Copy !req
1173. This is Caldwell, Dad, and he just...
Copy !req
1174. He just started running
and running and running.
Copy !req
1175. And...
Copy !req
1176. And these defenders
were just bouncing off him.
Copy !req
1177. And he went round one and then the other.
Copy !req
1178. And me and Sean were standing up
and shouting at him to pass the ball.
Copy !req
1179. "Pass the ball!"
Copy !req
1180. You say you've got to square it.
Copy !req
1181. He wouldn't square it. He wouldn't pass.
Copy !req
1182. He just... He just kept running.
Copy !req
1183. He was...
He looked like a horse or something.
Copy !req
1184. And then the goalie's coming forward
Copy !req
1185. and we think he's gonna
boot it over the bar.
Copy !req
1186. Remember against...
Anyway, whoever it was.
Copy !req
1187. And we thought he was gonna boot it
over the bar again, but he didn't.
Copy !req
1188. This is Caldwell, Dad,
the one you say is always a donkey.
Copy !req
1189. He went round the goalie and put it in.
Copy !req
1190. Mum was crying, so she didn't even see it.
Copy !req
1191. But we recorded it for you, so you have to
come home and watch it, okay?
Copy !req
1192. You have to come home,
and I have an idea, okay?
Copy !req
1193. So, we'll pretend we don't know the score
Copy !req
1194. and pretend it's happening then,
pretend it's live.
Copy !req
1195. And me and Sean will go mad all the same,
and you can have your beer
Copy !req
1196. and Mum can make the sausages, so...
Copy !req
1197. So, that's what we'll do.
Copy !req
1198. Good night, Dad.
Copy !req
1199. Ivan?
Copy !req
1200. Is everything okay?
Copy !req
1201. Listen.
Copy !req
1202. Ivan, will you come?
Copy !req
1203. Yes.
Copy !req
