Wild Bill Page #2

Synopsis: Out on parole after 8 years inside, Bill Hayward returns home to find his now 11- and 15-year-old sons abandoned by their mother and fending for themselves. Unwilling to play Dad, an uncaring Bill is determined to move on. Although Dean the older boy has found a job and is doing his best to be a father to his younger brother Jimmy, the arrival of Bill brings them to the attention of social services. With the danger of being put into care looming, Dean forces his feckless dad to stay by threatening to grass him up for dealing. If there's one thing Bill doesn't want it's to go back to prison. He reluctantly agrees to stay for a week to help fool social services that the boys are being cared for. Having never really grown up himself, Bill quickly connects with Jimmy and, through this new bond, starts to realize what he's been missing. He has a family, a place in the world. He is a father.

All right.

You all right, Jimmy?

Uh, any more of that going?

I'll give you some dough towards it.

Don't worry.

You already did.

Jimmy, get your coat. Go.

BILL:
So, when's she coming back?

- Ask her.

- Where is she?

Spain, with Jeff.

Spain?

How long ago was this?

- Years.

- Nine months.

Well, why aren't you with her?

Jeff!

What?

She just left you?

What, and you didn't?

Here, hold on. I didn't have no choice!

That's not what she said!

B*tch!

Oi, that's our mum you're talking about!

All right, well...

She ain't a very good mum, is she?

What d'you know about it, eh?

What d'you know about anything?

Look, I'm just saying.

Yeah, well, don't.

'Cause we're not interested

in what you have to say.

We're not interested in what you think.

You are nothing to us!

Get what you need and go.

I don't wanna see you here when I get back.

Come on.

(DOOR SLAMS)

- Okay, no problem. Be calm.

- Don't tell me to be calm, right!

Move 'em from there to... Dean, get here!

- I want those shifted.

- Okay, okay.

Look, Roland, I'm sorry, mate.

It won't happen again.

That's not good enough. Listen, I'm sticking

my neck out just having you on site.

Yeah, I've got some grief at home.

Yeah, and that's my problem because what?

Come here.

Look, I know you're doing your best, right,

and I'll help you out as much as I can,

but you're going to have to help me, yeah?

- Yeah, course.

- You in tonight?

Yeah.

Right, I'm going to drop some more stuff off.

Okay.

Well, go on, then. Grab yourself a shovel.

Build us a velodrome.

- Four sugars.

- BILL:
Thanks.

So, how was your trip home?

Uneventful.

Isle of Wight?

Yeah, Park Hill.

Eight years, two months and three days for...

carrying a concealed weapon,

supplying class A's,

three counts of actual bodily harm,

four grievous

and the attempted murder

of a community support officer.

Well, that's colourful.

Sounds a lot worse than what it was.

Seen the family yet?

A bit.

- How was it?

- All right.

- Boys all right?

- Yeah, they're good, yeah.

They're, um, bigger.

Are you back with your wife,

domestically speaking?

Nah, she's with Jeff, domestically speaking.

I see. How do you feel about that?

Don't know. F***ing relieved.

I'm going up to Scotland anyway.

That's a good idea.

Make a fresh start. Out of harm's way.

Just need to find you someone

to talk to up there.

All right. Lovely.

And we should arrange a meeting with Diane.

Talk about your contact with the boys.

And then we're done.

Shouldn't be too difficult,

she's been in Spain for the last nine months.

Oh. So who's looking after them?

What d'you mean?

Well, it says here that Dean's 15

and Jimmy's 11
