Any different?

CUPBOARD DOOR CLOSES

A question.

It's a difficult one. Sorry.

Go on.

How do you feel about Ronnie?

Like, about what happened?

I try not to think about it,

because, well, I loved him.

But he gave me no choice.

Yeah.

I will miss him.

I miss him already.

So, what about Jamie?

What happens next depends on Jamie.

He wants what he can't have.

He wants what's ours.

I'll give him every chance.

You know, make him see sense.

What time do you call this?

That for me? Melissa.

She slept half the day as well.

You are good.

What time's he getting here?

After four, they said.

They're going to call

when he's on the way.

Sound. Are you OK?

As OK as I can be, yeah.

Are you and Michael OK?

Yeah. It's all good, Mum.

Don't worry.

Thanks for staying over.

No problem.

That coffee was nice.

Did you use the espresso machine?

Yes, I did. I went full-on barista.

Well, it was lovely. Good.

Just those soft lads

I'll speak to you in a bit. G'wed.

Who's soft lad?

Michael.

Out of the way?

Do you want another coffee, love?

Do you know what you're doing?

Melissa, it's time to mind

your own business.

You are my business.

Look, just let me do

what needs to be done.

We've got a lot to lose, Jamie.

Yeah, and a lot to gain.

Millions.

He's ready for you now. OK.

Did you get any of that call, Duff?

Jamie's? A bit of it, yeah.

Any idea? What sh*t, which fan?

Not a clue.

I'd say that's Jamie's business.

Is Jamie not one of us, Rach?

Is that what you're saying?

What do you mean by that?

Jamie's problems are my problems.

That's all I'm saying.

Does he understand that?

He gets it, Mike.

I remind him.

I don't think he needs

reminding of anything.

Melissa, it's best

if you stick to talking about kecks.

No, this can't be happening.

Just find him. Just find him.

Listen, the time for knocking

on doors is long gone, lad.

I want you kicking 'em in.

You listening?

ENGINE IDLING

Get masked up and get f*cking loud.

You know, if we get too loud,

lad, we frighten him away.

Listen, tell anyone who knows him

that I'm looking for him,

and I'm not f*cking about. Yeah?

Put a reward out if you have to.

I don't care what you do,

just find him. Go on.

HE SIGHS

HE EXHALES

Michael?

Just need a minute. Sure.

Don't stand at the door. Come in.

I'm gonna leave

the three of you together

to prevent whatever mess is

about to happen from happening.

Can you do that?

Yeah.

Will you try?

There's no need for chaos.

Yeah, fine.

I want white smoke.

What sh*t? What fan?

Can I help?

No, it's sorted.

That quick?

Yeah, I'm good like that.

HE EXHALES

I don't know what to say

to you, Michael.

Just tell me

why you shot Davy Crawford.

I don't know. Yeah, you do.

I wasn't there. He k*lled his mate.

He couldn't handle what

was being said, you know.

His son betraying him.

His boy f*cking him over.

He wanted it to stop, sobang.

A minute later, he regretted it.

I know it was you, Jay.

What was me?

I know you've got the lemo,

and I don't know

why you decided to do it,

but you did, and, well, yeah,

it was nicely done. Clever.

I'll give you that much.

Look, I don't know

what you're on about.

It's not too late. For what?

Common sense.

For your mum's sake.

I just want what's mine.

You know, ours.

And then

Well, then we're back on track.

I haven't got it.

I swear down over me dad's

cold, grey body,

I haven't got it.

I don't know where it is.

You must have broken his heart.

No. We were sound, me and him.

That last night was great.

You saw it yourself.

And that must have

really pissed you off.

You feel shut out, did you, Michael?

Seeing me and Ronnie tight.

And now all of a sudden,

you're an outsider.

A nobody, almost.

So, go on, did you do this?

I'm being deadly serious, lad.

Was it you?

You were the reason

we were out in Spain.

This is your sh*t.

Own it.

Michael

DOOR CLOSES

How did it go?

I'm doing me best, Elaine.

But I'll be honest with you.

I think Jamie might have

his own ideas.

They were Ronnie's ideas, too.

Ronnie said nothing to me.

And, well, Jamie won't share.

Well, they agreed on something.

I know that much.

Well, he won't say.

You know we're in a bit

of a hole, Elaine. And I'm

And I'm trying me best

to get us out of it.

Yeah, OK. I'll come back to you.

He needs to accept

it's not his time.

Not yet.

SOFTLY: Sorry. Is it a good time?

Hiya, Cheryl. Sorry.

Come here. I am so sorry, love.

It must have been

a terrible shock for you.

Yeah. Yeah. Thanks.

Erm, they're all in the kitchen.

I won't stay long.

Stay as long as you like. Thank you.

Michael.

Cheryl.

It's good to see you.

No Davy?

No. No Davy.

No sight or sound.

I'll leave you to it.

PHONE BUZZES

Elaine.

Do you still want me

to speak at Ronnie's funeral?

Look, I understand

if you'd rather Jamie did it.

I want you to do it.

I asked you cos Ronnie trusted

you the most.

I'll speak to Jamie.

We can make this work.

We can.

OK.

What are you doing, hiding out here?

Why aren't you inside?

Get on this, Mike.

That Blink lad reckons

young Billy's gone missing

with 50 keys of Jamie's lemo.

Which has got to be our lemo, right?

Blink says? Yeah.

And you believe him? I do. 100%.

He's terrified.

He hasn't got a lie in him.

First person to find Billy

is the winner.

That kid, he's all ba*ls

and no brains.

Mad.

A few weeks ago

..everything was in order.

Everything was tight.

We were cruising.

Then Ronnie gets greedy,

his f*cking lad gets greedy.

We're all supposed

to be all together.

Mike, we need to make a move.

We need to find him.

Right. What do we know?

Who do we know that knows him?

We know he's not at home.

And I've got our Freddie outside

his bird's house right now.

But besides that,

he could be anywhere.

We need to go now.

CHERYL: I can't say

it's not like him

to go missing for days on end.

PHONE BUZZES

Because it is.

But I'm worried because, one,

he's not answering his phone

..and two, because

Well, he'd be herefor Ronnie.

For you, Elaine.

He would. Yeah.

Bobby messaged him, didn't you, Bob?

As soon as it happened. Yeah.

Maybe he's just lost his phone.

He would've called.

Well, if he knows

your number by heart, yeah.

PHONE BUZZES

But all my numbers

are just names in me phone.

I couldn't tell you Bobby's number.

No-one's got a landline any more.

That's true, I suppose.

He'll turn up, Cheryl,

full of apologies.

Wouldn't want him

to miss Ronnie's goodbye.

If he got the message,

he'll be here.

Sure you don't want

a glass of wine, Cheryl?

Maybe just the one glass.

Need a hug?

I need a miracle.

Tell me.

The gear's gone.

Some little toerag grafter's

just took it.

Just walked in and took it.

Can you get it back?

I'm trying, aren't I?

And if you can't get it back,

what then?

I'm down three million.

SOFTLY: Oh, my God.

Right, listen,

this is what we're going to do.

Will you ask Rachel how much

cash she can get together

out of the business?

But ask Rachel, don't ask Bobby.

I don't want him knowing, OK?

Not yet.

What if Rachel tells him? She won't.

Can I ask you

what I asked you in Spain?

Are we safe?

Yeah.

Hey, we're safe.

Trust me.

JAMIE EXHALES

Hello.

Diana?

SOFTLY: Mum.

Oh, my God. Right

Let me find somewhere quiet.

I've only got

a couple of minutes, love.

It's all I could afford.

Is everything OK?

Just two seconds.

Has something happened?

No. No, no, no.

I need to talk about Dad.

For Christ's sake, Diana,

you know how I feel about it!

It's really not worth it.

Yes, it is,

because it's worrying me.

It shouldn't.

I need to tell Michael.

He needs to know.

No.

Why does he need to know?

Because we're together.

It's for the best.

We agreed.

He needs to know who I am.

And he needs to know who you are

and what you've done for me.

Darling, what I did

is between me and you, OK?

You're not to blame.

You did nothing wrong.

Nothing at all.

But who put the knife in?

Stop it!

Who took it from the drawer?

Stop it! Don't make me

put this phone down

and then be worrying

Are you happy, love?

Are you happy in work and life,

love?

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, I am.

But I also need to be honest.

I'm glad you're happy.

That makes me happy.

I need to be happy.

Why not?

He needs it to pay for the gear.

We're starting from scratch,

Oh, Rachel, stop it.

Stop what? Being pragmatic?

life-affirming.

FAINT CHEERING

Not this.

And, well, at the same time, I'm

Honoured to be talking about

a man like Ronnie Phelan.

To me, Ronnie was a friend,

a proper mate, a protector.

Somebody you could trust.

You could count on.

Someone who was only too happy

to give you a bollocking

I'm sorry, Father.

LAUGHTER

No, but when Ronnie talked,

people would listen.

GUNSHO

Oh, yeah. Erm

Well, as you can see, I've got

I've got loads of pages here,

loads of words,

and although, well,

I mean every single one of them,

somehow they feel, you know,

borrowed, second-hand.

There was nothing

second-hand about Ronnie.

He was a one-off.

Elaine knows that.

Well, she put up with him,

and she loved him.

And he loved her.

Well, he knew what was

important in life.

PRIEST: But why dost thou judge

thy brother?

Or why dost thou set

For we shall all stand before

the judgment seat of Christ.

Please, all stand.

In peace, let us take Ronnie

to his place of rest.

I'd say this was

your dad's favourite song.

But every song had its turn

of being his favourite.

Will listening to them bring

comfort, Elaine, or sadness?

Comfort followed by sadness.

They go hand in hand, love.

You happy?

You got everything you want now?

I think she enjoyed the nosebleed.

SINGER: Thank you very much,

everyone.

I'll see you again shortly.

Thank you.

I'm going to sort this out.

Let's do this.

It's a send-off, a big bang.

Michael, let's do it.

Right, I'll be back in a minute.

One more time for the big man, hey?

Go on, then. Bless you.

Banks. Come on up, lad.

WHISPERING

Hey, Cheryl.

Diana.

Are you OK?

If you must know,

I'm trying to decide

whether I make a scene or not.

Kick off. No.

No, that's not a good idea.

Why not?

Because they'll blame the drink

when it's clearly not the drink.

CHERYL CLEARS THROA

It's something else.

Grief, maybe.

That is entirely possible.

Except how can I grieve

..when I don't know where he is

..what's happened?

He's just gone.

They're supposed to be his friends.

They came to our wedding

and did their stupid f*cking dance.

And not one of them could care less.

CHERYL SCOFFS

And the worst thing is,

I don't know if I'm angry

because Davy's gone

..or because

they're taking me for a fool.

I don't want a f*cking hug.

SOFTLY: Thank you.

MUSIC: A Little Respect

♪ Oh, baby, refrain

From breaking my heart ♪

I think I did all me crying

in the church. I feel numb.

These help. Cheers. Cheers.

♪ Why you making me work so hard?

You've got nothing to thank me for.

If you hadn't have kept

your head in Spain,

Ronnie would still be

in a freezer in Marbella.

He'd be evidence.

You did him proud.

You did us proud.

♪ Oh, baby, please

Give a little respect to me. ♪

Jamie, you need to stop

staring over there.

It's starting to look creepy.

We still need to talk

about what happens next.

But not now.

I do need to ask you

a question, though.

Of course.

Who did it?

Who do you think it was?

I don't want a w*r.

But it can't go unpunished.

No matter who it was.

The problem's finding them.

I want you to promise me something.

When you do find them

..I want you to make them feel

the way that they've made us feel.

Will you do that for me?

I promise.
