- Yeah.
You see, I've got a problem with my voice, with my speech.
- With your voice, yes.
- I was riding my bike, and a taxi door opened, and I got a bang on the head.
- You got a bang on the head? - Went in a coma.
When I come out of the coma, I talk like this.
How did you talk before you went into the coma? Different, yeah? You ken? Was your voice higher, or lower Aye, it was an octave and a half higher.
- Are you being funny with me, sunshine? - No, I'm trying to Are you some kind of singing coach or something? What do you want to know that for? Well, you said you speak differently now.
I'm just trying to work out how you spoke before! - My name is Sam Travis.
- Right.
And I'm no' from Scotland, - I'm from Sevenoaks in Kent.
- You're from Sevenoaks? I've got foreign accent syndrome.
Right.
I mean, it's a charming accent.
- Are you taking the pish? - What? - Are you taking the pish? No, I'm not taking the pish.
I'm no' Scottish.
I dinnae want to sound Scottish.
I dinnae want to be Scottish.
It's a beautiful country, the Highlands are stunning.
Inverness, to the Highlands.
I was watching Homes Under The Hammer one time - Right.
- a man bought a house in Inverness for £1.
How's that make the rest of us feel south of the border? - Right.
- Like, stupid.
How long's it been? Well, I was in a coma for three months, and it's been another four.
Can you help me? BUZZER - What do you want? - I can smell sick on your breath, Richard.
OK, fair enough, you can.
I've been a bit sick this morning.
- You're like 44, or something, aren't you? - So? So, what have you come round to say? You've foisted Mum on me, and now you've come round to what? I haven't foisted Mum on you.
You initially asked me.
You asked me if I would take Mum at the time.
You couldn't, cos you didn't have a spare room.
Yeah, I didn't have a spare room.
Because Chrissy lives in the spare room.
She sometimes sleeps there, she has to get up early for lectures.
Where does she sleep elsewhere, in a youth hostel? She sleeps with me.
- Does she? - We share a bed.
- Right.
- You know, obviously those are details that I don't necessarily need to share with you.
But, in this circumstance, I need to explain.
It's OK for Mum to come and live with us.
Me and Chrissy have talked about it.
We think that this isn't a good environment for her - What? What? What? - because of your breakdown.
Richard, it's almost like you're blocking her from me.
Why are you holding on to her? OK, can I just not have my turn on her? Your turn on her? She's not a fucking dodgem! BUZZER Shut up and listen.
OK, we're listening.
I'm going to take Mum off your hands.
We're going to go to Dubai.
What is this, rent-a-mum week? Dom, it's really fine.
I don't know what Richard said to you, it's really fine.
Me and Mum have talked.
She's definitely sure she wants to be with me and Chrissy.
Me and Chrissy.
Chrissy and our sister are lovers.
Why do you have to say "lovers" like that? Why do you have to make out like it's something OK, Chrissy and Catherine are fucking.
Is that better? - We're in a relationship.
- And how does that have any effect on Mum's death? - Have you been - Yes, death! - What? - Three months, liver cancer.
So, I have used a contact in Dubai and I will be taking her to a beautiful hospice, where she can spend the last days of her life with a little dignity, not fighting and I think she'd rather be with dark, handsome men than a couple of lesbyterians.
No offence.
Sleeping like an angel.
Mum, safely asleep in my house.
Aww, bless her.
Where are you going? Mummy.
I know you're sleeping, but I've got to go.
Mum? Mum? OK.
Sorry, where's my mother? I don't know.
Richard, she's not here.
Where is she? Well, you're looking after her tremendously, Richard.
- Mum! - Where the fuck is she? - Jose? - Mr Pitt? - Where is she? - I don't know.
- Have you done something to her? - Of course not.
- You're supposed to be looking after her.
- I am.
I'm providing care, I'm really looking after her.
She said you abused her.
- No way, Jose.
- I don't think we should be arguing about whether or not Mum's dying.
- Whether it's a good thing or bad thing.
- All I'm saying is Mum told me - she was dying.
- Mum told you she was dying, but the doctor told me she wasn't, so she isn't.
- Go look for her.
- I will.
Look in all the pubs.
There's one on the corner, and one that's about 40 yards further up.
Call me.
I will look in every pub and I will call you, Mr Pitt.
- I will solve this problem.
- RINGING TONE - Abs.
- Hey.
- What news? - Karen's coming back today.
- Is she OK? - Yes, she's fine.
Don't worry, I've booked her a cab.
So you haven't got to worry about anything.
- Is she coming here today? - Yeah, it's all fine.
OK.
Are you all right? I don't know, Richard.
- You don't know? - I lost my job.
- I haven't got any savings.
- Haven't you? Fiona's been arrested for fraud, so I think that's the end.
Of everything, really, for me.
OK, well, you need to come back and just get your act together, and it'll be fine.
Look, man, I'm just going to I'm just going to go.
You're going to go? OK.
- Well, thank you for looking after Karen for - No, I'm going to go away.

OK, take a break.
That's a good idea.
- I'm just going to walk, Richard - Good, fresh air is good for you.
- in the mountains.
- Oh, well, that's even better.
For as long as it takes.
As long as what takes? Abs, what does that mean? Where are you Abs? BUZZER - Yo, man.

You told me to go and find my father.
- Right.
- And I have, OK? - Me and you got on, right? - Yeah.

I knew you'd react like this.
And that's why I propose that we do a DNA test.
- What?! - And let's confirm what I already know.
I know that you're my dad.
If you just do the test, we'll get the answer that I know is true.
