My Feral Heart

Good morning, world.

Morning, Mum.

- Oh, Brian, what would I do without you?

Dad's not here, it's Luke.

Oh, yes.

Yes, of course, dear.

Morning.

Hiya.

- Hi, Luke. - Hiya.

What would you like?

Two Scotch eggs, please.

1-7-6.

- Thank you. - Good man.

Luke!

Luke!

Here you go, Mum.

Oh, where has it gone now?

Luke?

Luke?!

Luke.

Is that okay?

Oh, easy does it.

Just wash it, don't tear it out of me head.

Is that the police?

She's moaning again.

Oh, yes, ohh...

Oh, God...

Eyes.

I-- I'll get it when I want it.

Oh, for heaven's sake.

Give me your arm.

What? Oh.

You alright?

My eyes are stinging.

Come on, do your eyes.

- Alright, I'll take that now.

Yes.

Thanks.

Ready.

Come on, Mum.

Mum?

It's bedtime now.

Good night, Mum.

Love you.

Good morning, world.

Morning, Mum.

Wakey, wakey...

Breakfast is ready.

Wake up.

Mum?

You wet yourself.

Mum?

Mum?

Mum?

Mum?

Hello.

I need a... ambulance.

Ambulance? Who's it for?

- It's Mum, she won't wake up. - Okay. Where are you?

You want my, you want my address?

Yes, please.

It's, um, 35 Whitehart Lane, Hockley.

Okay, thanks, bye.

Have you any other family?

Anyone who visited?

No, just us.

Why didn't you ask for help?

I was worried.

I thought you might take her away.

I need you to come with me.

I want to stay here.

I can look after myself, you know.

I know, but it's what your mum wanted.

How do you know?

- Luke, it's what she arranged before she became unwell.

This is my home.

- I know, but I can't leave you on your own.

We're ready.

Okay, thank you.

Have you got a coat?

That's it, Charlie, up.

There we go, good boy.

Right, we're just gonna make sure you're clean, alright?

Here we go, Charlie, wipe.

Well done.

- Eve? - Yeah?

Luke's here.

You gonna be ready to show him around?

I'm almost done, give us a minute.

Pants up.

Good job, Charlie, well done!

Is this your mum?

She got a lovely smile, ain't she?

Sorry, Luke.

You know, we can do the rest later if you want, eh?

Sit by the rest of 'em.

Hello, are, are you a new boy?

My name is Brandon.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, you're still a bit sad, aren't you?

They take care of you okay.

Not gonna have no sandwich, no?

Who is that?

Would you like a sandwich, Luke?

Cheese sandwich?

I'll just leave it there for you.

Here, here.

You alright, Charlie?

You doing some reading?

Hi, my name's Jenny.

What's your name?

Just introduce me in case it comes up.

Yeah, just keep an eye on him, though.

- Yeah, I will do. - Hmm.

Come on, Jen, we're gonna go out, honey.

- Alright. - There's a good girl.

Hello, you.

I'm off, alright?

But I'll be back first thing in the morning.

This is Yvonne.

Alright, Luke?

She's gonna be around till bedtime.

So, if you want anything, all you gotta do is ask, okay?

Right, see you in the morning. Yvonne?

- Catch you later - Alright then.

So, what you watching then?

You okay on your own or do you need some help?

Morning!

Morning, love.

Morning.

Luke, where you going? You know you're not allowed out.

I'm always go out on my own.

Hold on, Luke, come on, now.

- Come on, come on. - You know you can't go out.

- Steady, steady, steady. - Come on, let's calm down.

Calm down - Calm down.

- Wow, look at you all washed and dressed.

Where you off to?

He's trying to go out to the shops.

What, without me?

Don't go breaking my heart now.

- I was looking forward-- - Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi!

Come on, come on, come on, Luke.

Luke.

Luke, it's alright.

Luke? What's wrong?

Luke, you alright? Can you hear me?

Luke?

Can you go call an ambulance, please?

It seems as though Luke

has a congenital heart defect.

A hole in the heart.

Where Mum used to be?

He will be alright, won't he?

Yes, yes, it can be managed.

Though you gotta be careful.

And we need to look at an appropriate care plan.

Especially in terms of diet.

Light exercise is fine but you gotta be careful not to overdo it.

Can I go home?

You can go home today.

Back to mine?

Back to Blossom House, babe, with me.

Matt, you're with me.

Christian, you're with me.

Pete, you know what you're doing.

Grab your tools, and follow me.

Okay, we're gonna be cleaning up the hedges there.

Sorting out the weeds

- Come on, you, you're meant to be resting.

Why you won't let me go out?

It's not we won't let you,

it's just... not on your own, at least not yet, eh?

- Why? - We just got to get

to know you first, that's all.

Maybe then, yeah?

I know it's different, Luke, but...

We'll make it home for you, I promise.

Hey!

"Let not your hearts be troubled.

"Believe in God.

"Believe also in Me.

In My Father's house are many rooms."

"And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts

"to which indeed you were called in one body.

"And be thankful.

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly,

"teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom

singing psalms and hymns."

Amen.

Is it my fault?

Is what your fault?

That she died.

Oi...

Don't you ever think that.

Look how you cared for her.
