[Jack Halford's final appearance]
When did you find out?
A few weeks ago. It [the cancer] is in the liver. Nothing they can do.
But we're your friends!
I don't want any fuss.
BUT WE'RE YOUR FRIENDS!
Yes, you are. And I want you to remember me as I am. I want to go away to a place that's special to Mary [his wife] and me. Just me there, with her, and our memories.
When are you going?
ASAP. Will you do something for me, Brian? Don't tell anyone, not until after. And I don't want anyone to try and stop me or anyone coming after me or anyone trying to get in touch with me - it's just me and Mary, understand?
[he nods] Yeah.
Now get into that pub and put on a brave face.
I'm so sorry, Jack.
[Brian makes his way to the pub]
Brave face, Brian! And, mine's a large scotch!
[Jack stands in the rain knowing that his days are numbered, he then walks towards the pub for one last drink with the team he helped build]
