[insects chirp]
[clinking]
[James] Things didn't always go entirely
to plan on my journey with Alyssa
Do you think it's gonna explode?
It's not a film
[Alyssa] If this was a film,
we'd probably be American
[rock music]
[Alyssa] Whoo!
Yeah!
[James] I kept wondering what sort
of sound she'd make when I k*lled her
[slash]
I needed to find somewhere quiet
Guess what freedom smells like?
- What?
- Cow sh*t
- Seat belt
- f*ck seat belts
So what do you wanna do?
I dunno
Because we can literally do anything,
James
Anything we want
[electronic pings]
g*n! g*n! g*n!
[James] Ironically,
I was not in my element
[electronic pings]
[shouts] Come on!
This is sh*t!
[Alyssa] Sometimes, I look at him
and I think, "Are you a bit dead?"
[muted 80s music]
Put your tongue in my ear
- What?
- I like it
[Alyssa giggles]
[man on PA system] Right, stop that now
Sorry
[James] Alyssa was really good
at annoying people
Thank God I smashed my phone
I bet my mum's been calling nonstop
Stupid bitch
How long till your dad calls the police?
What?
About the car
He won't
- Really?
- Yeah
He'll think I'm coming home soon
And he's a prick and everything,
but he's pretty optimistic
[TV laughter]
[clears his throat]
What?
What?
I like food
OK
[Alyssa] My mum says
that if food were her boyfriend,
she'd be in an abusive relationship
She says it like it's a joke,
but it's not
What?
[whispers] Did you bring money with you?
Didn't you?
Yeah. I just spent it at Laserkill
That was all your money
I didn't have to pay for you
I was being f*cking polite, actually
What are we going to do?
Well, it's just food
And we haven't eaten all of it
You haven't
The only rule with these things
is that you never steal from a small
or independent business
- Whose rule is that?
- My dad's
He's basically Robin Hood
He breaks the law,
but he's really moral
"If it's a chain, it's free rein."
- Say it
- "If it's a chain, it's free rein."
There you go. Otherwise,
you're basically funding terrorism
- Places like this are all run by the Man
- What man?
"The Man" man
The Man who, you know, owns all the oil,
forces Chinese children
to make smartphones and hates Palestine
Are you gonna be a p*ssy?
[James] Showing willing was
the best approach with Alyssa
No
[Alyssa] sh*t
[hard rock]
[suppressed giggle]
Nice one
- Seat belt!
- f*ck seat belts
[James] I had her
right where I wanted her
We should have sex
- What, now?
- Yeah
Take your top off
Erm, OK...
[James] I had to go along with it
Should...
- Should we stop?
- No
Keep driving
[James] But I wasn't sure sex was
something you could just go along with,
especially not as a man
[Alyssa giggles]
It's OK for women
They can just lie back,
think of England
Us men, we have to be England
[James] Stop! I think I'm stuck
[Alyssa laughs]
sh*t
Why are you laughing?
My dad loves this car
It's the most expensive thing
he's ever bought
[Alyssa laughs]
[Alyssa] What the f*ck
are we gonna do now?
[clinking]
Do you think it's gonna explode?
It's not a film
Come on
- Where are you going?
- Well, we can't drive it, can we?
I might be able to fix it
We can't just leave it
[loud bang]
Do you reckon you can still fix it?
What should we do?
[Alyssa] Go home
Do you wanna go home?
[Alyssa] Hang on
Does he want to go home?
You saying you wanna go home?
'Cause that's fine, can if you want
- No, I don't want to. I was just asking...
- I don't wanna go home, James
- But...
- I don't want to go home
- So what do you want to do?
- I don't know!
Why don't you f*cking think
of something for once?
[cr*ck]
[James] I couldn't have done it there
The car would've linked me to the crime

[James] Why is no one stopping?
[Alyssa] Probably
because you've got your tits out
I'm serious. No one stops for weirdos
except other weirdos
And you look like a proper day release
[car approaches]
[car slows down]
You all right?
Hi
I'm heading down south, son,
if it's any good to you
Do you want a lift or not?
Yeah. Thanks
Come on, then
Come on
Come on!
I am gonna be so f*cked off
if we get m*rder*d
[rock music]
[music stops]
[Alyssa] I can't believe
he got in the front
Grab us that sweater in the back, there,
love. Chuck it down to your boyfriend
Who said he's my boyfriend?
[James] Alyssa was starting
to test my patience
[screech]
Are you all right, love?
Is she all right, son?
She's fine
You're funny, you. I like you
[man chortles]
- That your dog?
- Nearly, I'm buying her
- She's cute, though, ain't she?
- Yeah
Not for long, mind
She's a cane corso
What's that?
Number 23 on the Top 25
Most Dangerous Dog List
For fighting
- They expensive?
- Just a bit
You know your car smells like feet
[man laughs]
One of the lads had a couple,
in Fallujah
- They're lethal, I tell ya
- You were in the army?
Five year
Cool
So tell me, then,
what you two been up to, eh?
Come on, I ain't gonna say anything
What's the matter with ya?
Well, we haven't done anything
[laughs] Sure
I couldn't give a f*ck either way, I'm...
I'm just making conversation, you know?
I'm not a f*cking copper
[man laughs]
I just thought, you know, you...
You might wanna make
a phone call to your mum or something
Let her know you're OK
My mum's dead, actually
[scratchy guitar]
I thought you said your mum was
in Japan?
So?
So it's a bit different
from being dead, isn't it?
This guy's a prick
What?
[sighs] He's, like,
the worst kind of person
He's all right
Why are you defending him?
He's a m*rder*r
- What?
- He was in the army
He's m*rder*d people
And now he's buying a dog
to m*rder other dogs with
Here you go
Thanks
Yeah
Is that your family?
That's the missus, Liz
Abi
That's Baby Jack
Jack looks like a potato
You what, love?
Joke!
Joking
He looks like a ham
He does, though, doesn't he?
No
You guys are so f*cking boring
Sorry
Don't be daft, son
She's a bit full-on, ain't she? The bird
Oh... Yeah, she can be
Well...
That's women, eh?
Yeah
Maybe
What was it like?
In the army
Ah, it was all right, you know
Did you k*ll people?
It's part of the job, son
How many?
Well, be a bit sick
to keep count, wouldn't it?
[James] I'd have definitely kept count
- I'm gonna go to the...
- Oh, yeah, sure
- Toilet
- Sure, sure
I say, son
I might as well join you
Put one in the bag, you know
[distant traffic]
[Alyssa] I'm bad
at apologizing to people,
but sometimes I know I should
What happened to your hand?
[James] Sometimes, I just...
let things happen
Even though I didn't want them to
I'm not sure why
What's going on?
Are you gay?
No
- It's OK if you are
- I'm not
- But you should tell me if you are
- I'm not gay
So what are you doing?
Where do you think you're going?
Well, I... gotta go
The dog's not gonna collect herself,
now is she?
Gimme your wallet
You what?
Give me your wallet
No. No...
Give me your wallet or I swear to f*ck
I'll go visit Liz and Abi
and your weird potato baby,
and tell them what you like to do
with teenage boys in toilets
You wouldn't do that
I'll tell the police, too
[door slams]
He put my hand there
You know that if people wanna do stuff
to you, you don't have to let them
Yeah
Do you?
Yeah
So why did you?
Did something bad happen to you
when you were small?
No
I'm tired
[evening birds tweeting]
- A double room?
- Yup
A double room with a double bed
for double sex
[Muzak]
[Alyssa] I really need to cry
[crickets chirping]
- Do you wanna watch TV?
- OK
[TV audience applauds]
Find some p*rn
[TV] Are you ready
to answer the big question?
[moaning]
[gentle acoustic music]
[moaning continues]
Where are you going?
Toilet

Hello?
Hello?
Is that you, Alyssa?
It is you, innit?
Can I speak to my mum?
She doesn't wanna speak to you
Mmm. It's good
[moaning]
- Can I turn it off?
- Yeah
[silence]
I can't go home. Like, ever
- You can

Do you want me?
What?
Do you want me,

- Yeah?
Will you cuddle me?
