00:29Look! It's the weirdy new boy!
00:32Hey you weirdy boy! Nice jacket!
00:35Hey, you want a berry, new boy?
00:38Go on, have a berry!
00:42That's what we call a traditional Chinese bone.
00:46If you really want to hurt someone, it's a different wrist action.
00:49Where's the new kid?
00:51Oh yeah! I thought I told you this morning, this is my bus shelter.
00:56And if you want to pass my bus shelter, you have to pay the toll.
00:59Yeah? Sweets, chocolates, cash, euros, all major credit cards.
01:07There we go.
01:12Berries.
01:15Now seriously, you're going to regret that, donkey boy.
01:18Aren't you?
01:20Oi! What do you think you're doing, you divot?
01:22Who are you? And who do you think you're calling a divot?
01:26Did you call me a divot?
01:30What's a divot?
01:31It's a little thick lump of turf, Einstein.
01:34You better ask your friends here if you can borrow the brain cell.
01:36Must be your turn to use it this afternoon.
01:38Oi donkey! Come back here!
01:41Pathetic!
01:43Okay, I'll see you later, Lara.
01:45And I'll call you, Lara, okay? Bye!
01:59How was your day, Jake?
02:11Oh, yes. Have you got any shoe leather restorer?
02:26Hello, Jake. You have a good day?
02:28You hungry? I got your tea on.
02:30Your Aunt will be due home in about five minutes.
02:36Black, brown, blue, tan, neutral.
02:38Suede?
02:41Hey, you stop right there. Put that back.
02:47Here, take this instead. A nutty fruit bar. Much better for you than chocolate.
02:52I got your tea on, Gemma. Your mum will be due home in about five minutes.
02:56Oh, yes. I need a rack.
02:58A rack? Of course.
03:00Newspaper, letter, herb, gun, toast.
03:06You want the standard open-base six-slot or the executive ten-slot with integral in-built crumb tray?
03:21It is always a pleasure to do business with you.
03:29Six years he's been coming here, never beaten me yet.
03:35So, are you settling in at school?
03:38No.
03:39You made any new friends?
03:42No.
03:45You know, there's a saying back in the old country.
03:48My grandmother used to say to me all the time,
03:51it is a wide bowl that makes a shallow soup.
03:57Come.
04:10Oh, so lovely. Hello, Dad.
04:13Oh, my feet are killing me.
04:16Hello, sweetie. Hi, Mum.
04:17Hello, Jake. How was school?
04:18Oh, what's the time I've got to do an early supper at the old people's home?
04:22Bills, bills, bills. How was the shop? Good day?
04:26Great. Beat old man Marsh again, shot him down in flames.
04:29Tried to get me with a toast rack.
04:31Dad, a toast rack is not a good day.
04:33What's the profit on a toast rack? 75p?
04:36Look at all these bills. This is why I've got 45 jobs.
04:39Carla, slow down. Take a breath.
04:41You need to take some time out.
04:42Remember the old saying, he who digs deep, deepest digs.
04:48Dad, the shop is not paying. Dig us out of that one.
04:52Oh, yes. Look, I've got something for you.
04:55What is it?
04:57Oh, evening classes.
05:00Salsa, Latin dance, beginners welcome.
05:03You used to love having a dance.
05:04I used to love having an evening.
05:06I've got to work every night at the minicab office, Dad.
05:09Come. Food. Sit down. Take some time out. You're doing too much.
05:14Jake, are you going to join us?
05:17What? Why?
05:20To sit, to eat, to talk, to have conversation, maybe.
05:24That's what we do in our house on mealtimes.
05:27Oh. Well, me and Dad always eat off the tray with the TV.
05:31Saves time.
05:33Then Dad had this brilliant idea.
05:35Paper plates and plastic forks.
05:38Our record was 12 weeks.
05:40Didn't do the washing up once.
05:48Look at all this. Look at all my stuff out here.
05:52Why should I have to get my work room for this loser?
05:55Gemma, can you try and be nice?
05:58Jake is living with us now.
06:00You don't need two rooms and he's got to sleep somewhere.
06:03I need two rooms.
06:05My computer system, my research folder, my geology project.
06:08It takes space.
06:10What does he need? A TV guy and a plastic spoon?
06:13I've lost everything. I can't even find my homework bag.
06:17Gemma, what is this?
06:19That's just my biology project.
06:21It's ants.
06:23Look, I told you, I don't want any pets in the house.
06:27They just make too much work and I'm rushed off my feet as it is.
06:30And we've got Jake here now. No pets.
06:33Mum, it's an ant.
06:36It doesn't exactly take up a lot of room.
06:38They're quiet and house-trained.
06:40It's not going to do a wee on the rug.
06:42Listen, I am going out now.
06:45Get rid of them.
06:49Well, thank you very much.
06:51And where is my homework bag?
06:54Do you hear all that, Frank?
06:56You know what? We can't do this anymore.
06:59We're leaving, Frank.
07:01Maybe we can get a train to Scotland.
07:03Maybe we can go to Dad's Ulrich. What do you think?
07:06Maybe I could be a cabin boy or a stowaway or something.
07:09Frank?
07:11Frank?
07:13Frank!
07:15Jake!
07:21Jake, you neanderthal. You've been in my room.
07:23Look at it. Look at this place.
07:25Frank?
07:27What?
07:28Frank Lee.
07:30No, I haven't been in here.
07:32You must have.
07:33Look at my cross-breeding plant programme.
07:35And this.
07:37And all this.
07:39Have you any idea what this stuff costs?
07:41And my beautiful top.
07:43What did you do to it? Chew it!
07:58Gemma, really, I didn't do this.
08:01I wouldn't. I have great respect for all your stuff.
08:04Whoa!
08:05What are you doing?
08:07Sorry. Sorry.
08:09That was an accident. I...
08:11Whoa!
08:13Stop! Stop it!
08:15What's going on?
08:16It's him. He comes in here, half destroys my room, and look at it.
08:19And now he's come back to finish the job.
08:21I didn't do this. I wouldn't. Honestly.
08:24Of course you did. Who else did it?
08:26Me.
08:27Yes, I'm sorry. I was up here earlier with some of your washing
08:30and I may have knocked a few things.
08:33I'm sorry.
08:37Well, thanks, Frank. You're really making my life easier.
08:41And we've got to cut your nails.
08:48Hello, Jake.
08:50Are you all right?
08:52You haven't finished your unpacking yet?
08:55Here, let me help you.
08:58So you're missing your dad, eh?
09:00Of course.
09:02But you know, this really is the best way.
09:05It's what he does.
09:07He's getting more and more work on the rigs.
09:09You know, it makes sense,
09:12you staying here with your aunt and your old granddad, yes?
09:15Yeah.
09:17It makes sense.
09:21You want to come and help me in the store, yes?
09:29Wow.
09:3124 years' worth of stock in here.
09:35I like to think I can supply all my customers' needs.
09:41Oh, I'll get that.
09:42And then maybe you can help me reclassify the haberdasheries.
09:58Jake?
10:16Jake?
10:19Here...
10:21are...
10:23ten...
10:25wishes.
10:27And...
10:28dear...
10:30talk...
10:31to a...
10:33friend...
10:34until...
10:35your...
10:37friends...
10:39appear.
10:49Jake?
10:52Jake?
10:54You find the haberdashery?
10:56Oh, I get it.
10:58Now I see.
10:59Your life's falling apart, Jake.
11:01Here's 50p.
11:02That'll cheer you up.
11:05What?
11:06The trick till down there.
11:09The till?
11:10The till's in the shop?
11:12Look, thanks, but my dad's gone off.
11:14I get shipped to you with a...
11:16a psycho killer.
11:19I get shipped to you with a...
11:21a psycho girl.
11:22The school's a nightmare.
11:24I really don't think 50p's gonna solve any of my problems, is it?
11:28What can you do with 50p these days?
11:50Urgh!
11:52Look at this, Frank!
11:55Thank you, Gemma!
11:58Sick!
12:01What are we doing here, Frank?
12:03It's just you and me, mate.
12:06Look at this.
12:08You want 50p?
12:10Just about buy you half a box of ferret food.
12:13What was all that talk-to-a-friend nonsense?
12:17What was all that talk-to-a-friend nonsense?
12:20I don't have any friends.
12:22Except you.
12:24You know, I wish you could talk, Frank.
12:27I really do.
12:29Tell you what, Jake, I'm starving.
12:32What?
12:33Who?
12:34Who was that?
12:35Me, Frank!
12:39Frank?
12:41Who do you think it was, the ants?
12:43You wouldn't get the time of day out of those busy little nippers.
12:45OK! OK, Gemma! Where's the radio?
12:48Jake, old son, what say we crack open that box of ferret food you mentioned?
12:52Very funny, Gemma!
12:54Or a pack of pet nibbles?
12:56I'm asleep.
12:58I'm asleep and I'm dreaming.
13:00That's it.
13:01Chocolate biscuits, anything really, Jake.
13:03That's you talking.
13:06That's Frank, the ferret.
13:09Actually talking.
13:11To me.
13:12You got it bang on there, kid.
13:14Now, what say we swing by the kitchen,
13:16pick up a little something, bowl of cat food, dead rodent, nothing fancy,
13:19then pop out for a stroll?
13:21Eh?
13:24And you know what, Frank?
13:26This is great.
13:27I mean, I don't know if I'm asleep or mad or what,
13:30but I don't care.
13:32Because we can talk and it's nice.
13:34And you can tell me about all the incredible things in your head.
13:37Food. Food, mainly.
13:39Well, food totally, actually. I love food.
13:41Is it time for food?
13:42Yeah, but there must be other stuff.
13:44Like amazing ferret stuff you can tell me about.
13:46What do you like to do?
13:48Eat.
13:50Food, yeah, but apart from that?
13:52Well, uh, tunnels, tunnels.
13:54Well, I love tunnels.
13:55Yeah, all them marvellous things.
13:56Show me a tunnel, everything long, dark, tunnel-y, I'll run down it.
13:59But why?
14:00Because there might be food at the end of it.
14:03Hey, come on.
14:04Frank!
14:19What's going on?
14:20That law, they're after me.
14:22Probably still are.
14:24He's not going to forget a huge mouthful of berries in a hurry, is he?
14:27Maybe they're planning something.
14:29An ambush tomorrow when I go past the bush shelter.
14:33Frank, you could sneak over there and have a listen to what they were saying.
14:38Hey, steady on, old son.
14:40I'm not going creeping around spying for you.
14:43Would you do it for a dead mouse?
14:46On me way.
14:51Go on, Frank.
14:53Right, so you give me your geography and I can copy it out tonight.
14:56Well, strictly speaking, that'll be fine, Wes. Fine.
15:00Look at that, my geography, Wes.
15:02Darren, not even a geography teacher wants your geography.
15:08My... my bag, this isn't...
15:10Where's my bag?
15:12Why, it's your bag, Will, it's the only stuff.
15:15Darren, it is not difficult.
15:17I must have dropped my bag and picked this one up.
15:22Then let's put it back somewhere.
15:31Come on.
15:36Well, what did they say?
15:39Frank?
15:40What?
15:41I said go listen to what they were saying.
15:43Yeah, I did.
15:44Oh, you want me to remember it as well?
15:46Yes.
15:47Um, well, they didn't mention food.
15:53But I can exclusively reveal that they found someone's bag and threw it in a tree.
15:58They found someone's bag and threw it in a tree?
16:00Well, I could see all that from here.
16:02What a brilliant secret weapon you are.
16:05Do I get the mouse now?
16:07Mouse?
16:11There's someone coming.
16:13If Carla sees you, you're in big trouble.
16:15It's not in there, I've looked in there.
16:23Hi, everyone, is anyone here?
16:25Hi, Jake.
16:26You okay?
16:28Hey, who put the lights out?
16:30Hi.
16:31Hello.
16:32You're back.
16:33Uh, how was Sunnyview?
16:36Oh, exhausting.
16:38Twenty-five old ladies all wanting exactly the right colour cup of tea.
16:43Close my eyes, I see teacups.
16:46And now I've got to go straight to the minicab office.
16:50Jake?
16:51I'm in the shop, would I have a word?
16:53Just stay there.
16:56Just stay there.
16:59Here, have a little rest.
17:01Maybe pop upstairs for a lie down.
17:04I have to...
17:13You don't understand.
17:15I have to find it.
17:16It's seven weeks of work.
17:18Jake, have you seen Gemma's homework?
17:20It's got her big science presentation in it.
17:22It's assessed coursework.
17:24My data, my research material.
17:26I have looked everywhere.
17:45Carla, you really need to slow down, girl.
17:50No.
17:51No, really.
17:53I haven't seen it anywhere.
17:54This is all your fault.
17:56If you hadn't made me move all my stuff around...
17:59Chief, you're right, I have been overdoing it.
18:02I'm not going to do the minicabs tonight.
18:04I'm going to call in sick.
18:05And then I'm going to drink a long, cold bath.
18:08To sit in a lovely, hot glass of wine.
18:13What about my coursework?
18:15Oh, Jake, are you sure you haven't seen it?
18:17It's inside her homework bag, which was inside another bag.
18:20I definitely had it when I left school.
18:23Come on.
18:34Yes!
18:40You just saved my entire life.
18:44Right.
18:45I need something, and you definitely will not have it.
18:49We sell everything, Mr Marsh.
18:51My downpipe is blocked.
18:53I need something to clear it out.
18:56Of course.
18:58Just one minute.
19:00It'll be out the back.
19:05Jake!
19:06I haven't got it.
19:08I haven't got anything for a blocked pipe.
19:11He's got me. He's finally got me.
19:14A blocked pipe.
19:15Okay.
19:19Come with me.
19:20I think I may just have the solution.
19:25You know what I think?
19:27I think you're bluffing.
19:28I don't believe you've got anything that can help me.
19:31I don't.
19:33But my assistant does.
19:36What's that?
19:37A stoat?
19:38It's a ferret. His name is Frank.
19:40Right, listen.
19:41If you can do this and keep your mouth shut, there's food in it for you.
19:45Food beyond your wildest dreams.
19:48What is it? What is it?
19:49A tunnel?
19:50I love tunnels.
19:51Let me at it.
19:52Up the drainpipe.
19:53I'm in a tunnel.
19:55Get out of my way.
19:56This is my favourite.
19:57Up we go.
19:59Out the way.
20:00Here I am.
20:05That will be £3.50.
20:07Equipment hire, Mr Marsh.
20:09Plus the VAT.
20:11I'll get you one day.
20:13I will get you one day.
20:16That was brilliant, Jake.
20:18Did you see his face?
20:20I haven't felt this relaxed in ages.
20:24What the heck is that?
20:26That's a weasel.
20:27There's a weasel in my house.
20:29It's a ferret.
20:30It's Frank.
20:31It's mine.
20:32Look, Carla, I know how you feel about pets,
20:34but this one is clean and friendly and he's easy to look after.
20:37And he's just saved my bacon.
20:39Please, Carla.
20:40What's that?
20:42It's Frank.
20:43He's a ferret.
20:45Please, Carla, can we keep him?
20:47I...
20:48Well, what about Gemma?
20:50I wouldn't even let her have an ant.
20:52I don't mind.
20:54Whatever Jake wants is OK by me.
20:56He did find my back.
20:58Oh, OK.
20:59Maybe I was a bit over the top about the ant.
21:02To tell you the truth,
21:04I've been upstairs in that bath and now I feel so relaxed.
21:07I just realised that I've been a bit snappy and stressed out lately.
21:11You were right, Dad.
21:12I just need to slow down.
21:14Well, so if no-one else minds,
21:16I suppose we have got room for a weasel and an ant or two.
21:20Yes!
21:21It's a ferret, Carla.
21:23A ferret.
21:25And I'll tell you what, where's that piece of paper?
21:28I'm going to sign up for that SAS class right now.
21:33What a day.
21:35I wish I could tell my dad about it.
21:37Well, go on, then.
21:39Don't be stupid.
21:40How can I do that?
21:42He's like 400 miles away in the middle of the North Sea.
21:45Jake, you are arguing with a ferret.
21:47How do you think you're doing that?
21:49Now, was it, um, talk to a friend?
21:52Until your friends appear.
21:54Do you really think it was this?
21:56Yeah.
21:58You really think this has got ten wishes in it?
22:01It's ridiculous.
22:03It's unbelievable.
22:06It's unbelievable.
22:08All things weird and wonderful, all ferrets, great...
22:10All right, OK, I'll test it.
22:14But what can I...
22:16Oh, that's easy.
22:19I wish I could see my dad.
22:21Right here, right now.
22:25See?
22:27He's never going to...
22:30Dad?
22:32Dad!
22:34Jake?
22:36Hey, is that you?
22:38I...
22:40What?
22:42Jake, your dad's a little confused.
22:44Let me explain, Harry.
22:46It's quite simple.
22:48You've been transported here on a magic wish.
22:50You remember Frank, Dad?
22:52Oh, right, ho.
22:54I get it, I'm asleep.
22:57These 13-hour shifts, I've fallen asleep on the job again.
23:00Hey, how are you, mate?
23:02I'm OK, yeah. You?
23:04Yeah, I'm doing fine.
23:06It's been really weird, Dad.
23:08All the kids at school are stupid and the food here, it's different.
23:12I'm sorry, Jake.
23:14Actually, I've really got to wake up.
23:16Right now, I've got 38 men waiting for me to release a pressure valve down on level D.
23:21If I don't do it soon, the whole system could overload.
23:24Oh, OK.
23:26Yeah.
23:28I've really missed you.
23:30Oh, I've missed you too.
23:32Love.
23:34Yeah, yeah, of course. The pressure valve.
23:36Yeah.
23:38You'd better go.
23:40I'll see you, mate.
23:48White bean egg.
23:54White bean egg.
