Do they know who did it?

They think I did it.

They never said but...

They phoned the house on Saturday

morning and told me not to come back in.

They've never had anything

go missing before so it's...

That's a shame.

Aye.

Yeah. I can get my job back at the pub

if I want but...

I'm thinking about starting up

something for myself.

A bit like your setup here, Pete.

I mean, are you needing

any help or...?

I'm not needing any help

at the moment, no.

But what about through the winter?

I mean, there must be

a few more... breakdowns.

I've nothing for you.

OK.

Adam's mum's not been very well.

How is she?

Yeah, she's much the same.

What's wrong with her?

She's our best customer.

It's his mum's pub that he works at.

She says I'm the only man

who's ever loved her.

- Can I use your bathroom?

- Yeah.

It's just down there on the left.

Come for a drive.

I'm working.

Your dad can manage without you

for an hour.

I'd like to be alone with you.

Wouldn't you like that?

It's good, love.

A bit tough maybe.

You not hungry?

It's like eating my own flesh.

We can leave the heating on

overnight... if you're cold.

Or if you're cold.

Or if I'm cold, yes.

Will that do?

Yeah, it's fine.

What do want me to do?

What do want me to do?

I'll say goodnight, then.

- Hello.

- Hi.

Erm, would it be OK

if she used your toilet?

Yeah.

- Is there a key or something?

- Yeah. It's inside. I'll show you.

Up.

She hates it if I go with her now.

- Where are you heading?

- Er, home now.

- Where is that?

- She's taking a while.

Who's that?

That's my dad.

Come on, let's go.

Wait!

You left her behind.

Thanks. There'd have been tears tonight

if you hadn't caught us.

Here we go.

I thought you'd left me.

Did you?

We've been happy here, haven't we?

Hmm.

I still love you.

I love you, too.

I need you to stay.

I know.

Shell needs you, too.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm sorry, love.

I'm sorry, love.

It's OK.

Dad?

Dad?

- Morning.

- Morning.

We've got a customer.

- Do you want me to go?

- No, you're not dressed.

- Morning.

- Hi.

Can I get some diesel?

Must get lonely up here.

What do I owe you?

70, please.

- Thank you.

- Well, thank you. See you again.

What's your name?

Shell.

Do you know

where you're going?

No.

Plenty of time

to make up your mind.

Do you mind the radio?

No. I like the radio.

# That I have not got long

# Promise

# You'll tell her

# She's my favourite girl
