Post by bunniefuu »

[Chris] The same f*cking mistakes
over and over again,

just when I think
I'm moving in the right direction.

I just need him found
because he's got something of mine

and I want it back.

If you turn up all bizzie
in your bizzie car,

they'll trust you.

[Chris] Do you know Vernon Hartley?

-Who are you?
-I'm the police.

-What, all of them?
-[groans]

-What the f*ck?
-[Jodie] Since Carl died,

I felt like I've been on me own.

You'll be okay.

Everything you make out of her,
you give to us.

If you don't, we tell her
you're the reason Carl's dead.

[Trevor] I could taste it
while I was having me supper!

Mary, keep your f*cking voice down
and get that dog

in the flat before I throw it
over the f*cking side.

[inhales sharply]

[Casey] Marco,
are you there? Marco!

I'm putting Adele down,
what do you want?

[Casey] I need you to come help me.

We can make some dough
and have a bevvy and a dance,

and it'll be a laugh
like old... old times.

[Marco] Please, Bren,
she's already asleep.

Swear down, she's already akip,
please come in.

[Debs] The day job's
out the window.

And if Ray Mullen calls,
you tell him you lied to Kate.

I've told Kate that I've got it,
so I need you to come through.

There's too much attention,
I'm sorry.

[mobile phone chimes]

[Chris sighs] f*cking hell mate.

[munches]

[telephone rings]

[licks fingers]

Archive. Sergeant Edwards.

Sergeant Ray Mullen,
Alpha area control room here.

Can you check an old bail book
for me, please?

-[tense music playing]
-Okay.

Er, Just go ahead
with your details.

[groans] f*cking hell.

-[Edwards] So, Fanny Sutton?
-Yeah, yeah. Go on.

[Edwards] All right, so, er,
what dates are we looking for?

Er, February 2010

to the middle of April,
every Tuesday and Thursday.

[Edwards] Okay.

Okay, and what are we looking for?

Er, er, anything.

Erm...

all right, erm, 2nd of February,

he was booked on
at 9:00 am exact.

Who signed him in?

[Edwards] Er, a DC Barnes.
Collar number 875.

-And then?
-[Edwards] Thursday.


Oh, the next one is the... [sighs]

I mean, look, how far back
do you want me to go back?

-I'm up the wall here.
-Er, no, that's great.

Appreciate it.

Hey, do you know this Barnes?

Er, it...
it's just a general enquiry.

[Edwards] Whoever it is,
they got on really well

-with the bailee.
-How do you mean?

[Edwards] "Roses are red,
violets are blue...

[chuckles] ...if I had to be
on bail, I'm glad it's with you".

What?

[Edwards] Yeah. He's written, like,
love hearts with arrows on it

and all sorts all over the ledger.

He's full of love, this lad.

[telephone rings]

[Franny] You need to go to bed,

I'm gonna see you
next time I'm over.

-I'm nearly there.
-Okay.

-No. I'm...
-Sort yourself out for bed.

-[William] Jump up there.
-[Franny] Can't jump.

-[William] You can. You can.
-[Franny] No, I can't.

-[William] Press X, jump. Look.
-[Franny] It's not working.

-I'm pressing.
-Press X, jump!

-It's not doing anything.
-Look...

-[chuckles]
-Press X!

-I just did! It didn't do it.
-Jump!

That's B, first of all.

-Oh, oh!
-[Willam] Don't!

[Franny] I just don't think
it's worth it anymore!

-Don't! Don't!
-[Franny] I don't want... [laughs]

-Right, I'll think about it.
-[William] Don't! Come on.

[Franny] Mate, give me one reason
why I shouldn't.

[William] Cos we need to finish
the task.

-[Franny] No.
-[William] No, come on.

-[Franny] No!
-[William] Give it to me.

-[Franny] No!
-[William] No!

-[gasps]
-[chuckles]

-[chuckles]
-[chuckles] I'm sorry.

[whispers] I was just saying
goodnight.

I'm going to get off now, okay?

[engine revs]

Now you f*cking open.

[Madge] Have you got any kids?

Sorry, I don't...
What's your name? [pants]

-Madge.
-Madge, where's Vernon?

Look, I'm not f*cking about.
Where is he?

-Have you got a cigarette?
-I don't smoke.

f*ck. Where's Vernon?

[Madge] Have you got one
in the car?

-No. Where's Vernon?
-[Madge] Well, you should have.

One day, somebody might need
an emergency ciggie,

-and you won't have one...
-Well, if somebody does,

then somebody can go
the f*cking emergency shop

and get some, can't they?
Where's Vernon?

[cat purrs]

[Chris] There's f*cking bad people
coming here tonight.

If I can get Vernon out of here,
then he's safe and you're safe.

I asked you a question.

[Chris] I told you,
I've got no ciggies.

Have you got any kids?

Yeah, one.

-A girl.
-Are you any good?

-[Chris] Do me best.
-[Madge] We all do.

But is your best good enough?

-[dog barking]
-No.

You only get one go at it,
you know, love.

It's not fair,
but if you f*ck it up, that's it.

I failed.

He's upstairs... back room.

If he hears you coming,
he'll hide behind the wardrobe.

Thank you.

Watch out for our Nora.

[cat purring]

I know he's up there.

-[sighs] f*cking hell.
-[Nora] Don't you dare!

[Chris] He's not under arrest,
okay?

[Nora] What do you mean he's not...
He's not done anything wrong.

He's not here,
I said, he's not even in the house.

[Chris] I'm helping him out.

[Nora] He's not here.

Please don't take him,
don't take him.

-[Chris] Move now.
-[Nora] Vernon!

[cupboard scrapping]

-[Chris] Vernon!
-[Nora sobs]

[Chris] Are you f*cking Vernon?

-Yeah.
-Right, get here.

It wasn't my idea...
It wasn't my f*cking idea, mate.

-We've got to go.
-Mum, are you all right?

Right. Good lad.

-[Vernon] What... what's going on?
-Come, love.

-[Chris] I'm f*cking saving you.
-It'll be all right.

-[Madge] My boy...
-It's going to be...

-it's going to be okay.
-[knocking on door]

[shushes]

[groans]

-Let's go, Vernon!
-[Vernon] Close the door.

-Lock the door.
-[groans]

[Madge clamours]

[man coughs]

It's all right, love,
it's all right.

[Nora sobs]

-Sit down, all right.
-[engine revs]

[tense music playing]

Trevor.

-[Trevor] You've come.
-You rang, didn't you?

You never come.

The operator was worried about you.

-[Trevor] Mary's.
-Where is she?

[Trevor] Dead.

No, not me. She was sick, so...

nobody wanted Trixie,
so I took her.

-Thought you hated dogs
-[Trevor] I don't hate dogs,

I just hate this dog...

but she had no one else,
so... And she's company.

[man screams]

-Who's that?
-Pissheads. Three of them.

They ripped the shutter
off the door.

Council bounced them out
and fixed it,

but they came back the next night,
and the night after that.

The council's given up.

-So, why didn't you ring us?
-[Trevor] I did.

-No one comes, and no one cares.
-I came, I care.

So, go in your flat
while I sort it for you.

[club music playing over speaker]

[indistinct chatter]

-[Jimmy] Well, what happened then?
-[Zed] Stole my banjo

right from under me
while I was asleep!

-Dirty b*stards
-[Rachel] Music off.

I said, music off, now.

[club music turns off]

What you doing here?

[Jimmy] Trespass is a civil matter.

Abstracting electricity
and criminal damage isn't.

[Zed] f*ck all to do with us, that.

f*ck off! Who asked you?

[Squatter] f*cking hell.
Someone's time of the month, is it?

Get up.

-Ooh...
-[men laughing]

[lamp shattering]

[Rachel] Get up, now!

Now f*ck off, and if you come back,
I swear to God...

Leave it, leave everything,
get the f*ck out.

-My sounds.
-[chair clatters]

-Hey! You can't do that.
-Out. Shut the f*ck up.

Out.

Well, go on then.

-If you come back, I'll know.
-Hm.

[laughs]

-[club music playing]
-[indistinct chatter]

[Casey] Marco!

-[Marco laughs]
-[screams]

Got a bevvy? [laughs]
Look at the f*cking state of them.

Like a f*cking bunch
of nonces over there. [laughs]

-[engine revs]
-They were gonna k*ll me,

weren't they?

-They were going to k*ll me.
-Whose fault's that?

I can't take much more
of this sh*t, man. For f*ck's sake.

What have you got belonging
to him, anyway? To Franny.

You know what?
Don't f*cking answer that.

I'll have you at the bus station
in 20 minutes.

Oh, no. Look, I can't, I can't go.
Not yet, all right?

-[Chris] You what, why not?
-I need to see

-our Stanley first.
-No, mate!

Look, I can't protect you
from these f*cking fellas,

-you need to get out.
-[Vernon] What? Listen.

Look, he'll be waiting
for me, all right?

Look, I always said
if I was ever going to do a runner,

-I'd... I'd say goodbye. I can't...
-[sighs]

What?

Look,
I... I've f*cked this up here,

all right? And now he's going
to have to pay the price for it.

You know, we do the crime,
but they do the time, don't they?

"We"?

-Right, where are we going, then?
-[engine revs]

[club music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

All right?

[Marco] I'm all good. I'm all good,
mate. Yeah, hey, get on this.

She's proper funny, you know?
I was blowing farts on her belly

-before she was...
-I knew you wouldn't let me down.

Hey, I'm going to, erm...
I'm going to get off, you know?

I've got... I've got
the social coming in the morning,

-so I...
-You'll be all right.

-Just have a bevvy, you'll be fine.
-Nah, Listen,

I am gonna... I am gonna bounce,
you know.

Listen, you don't need me anyway,
you're flying.

[Casey] No, no. I'll pretend
to be your bird tomorrow

-when the social comes.
-What do you mean?

I'll... I'll be your bird,
and I'll act like her ma and that,

and we'll pretend to be in love.

I'll... I'll... I'll look normal,
and I'll wear a dress and make tea

and like, everything,
it'll be dead good.

Nah, mate, I'm... I'm gonna...
I'm going to get off...

But only if you stay tonight.

-Yeah, sound.
-[laughs]

[knocking on door]

[Rachel] If they come back,
ring me.

I will, yeah, thank you.

I miss her.

She used to go on about
me drinking...

but it took her dying
to make me stop.

That would have done her head in.
[chuckles]

I seem to remember
she mostly just screamed at you.

Oh, that was just her way
of talking, you got used to it.

I hated her, but at least
I had someone to keep me going.

Yeah, living the dream, Trev.

Are you definitely all right?

I've got Trixie to look after now,
so I won't...

-You know...
-Yeah.

Good.

[Trevor] It needed someone
to break the rules.

You just went in there
and sorted it.

Yeah...

-get some sleep, Trev.
-[tense music playing]

-[engine revs]
-[tyres screech]

Right, who knows you come here?

The world.

I live here...
Look, I promise, mate,

I'll be quick, I swear down,
I promise you, yeah?

-You'd f*cking better be.
-[car door closes]

[Vernon] Come on, man.

What do you want?

[Vernon] Emma,
I just want to see Stanley, please.

-No, you ain't paid your rent.
-[Vernon] I've not paid me rent...

He's going away, darling,
all right?

I... I think it's only fair
that they have a moment together.

[Vernon] Please.

Right, I'll go and get him,
but you're not coming in.

Okay.

-Vernon, don't take long, mate.
-I'll be quick, I promise you.

[Emma] Come on, you.

[Vernon] Hello, Stanley!
Stanley, come here! Come here.

-Hello, mate! Hello.
-[Stanley growls]

-You are f*cking joking me. A dog?
-Yeah, it's Stanley. Hello, baby.

Your dad got pepper sprayed
and it was dead dramatic, you know.

-You his mate?
-You're f*cking joking, aren't you?

-Hey, Vernon. Vernon!
-One sec, one sec.

[Emma] Er, do you want a can
or something?

-It's okay.
-Hi, baby.

-[Stanley growls]
-Lager?

-Can you see this?
-Have a shot, then.

Shall I go and get some shots.

[Vernon] You can go
to your aunty Emma...

-Go on. Just one.
-You f*cking snake.

-Put him down. We're going.
-You f*ck...

Are you f*cking messing?
f*cking look after him,

-you horrible f*cking grass!
-Oh, I would... I wouldn't have to

-if you paid your rent!
-Look after the f*cking dog, Emma!

-Shut your mouth.
-Hello?

-You f*cking moron! Get in the car.
-Yeah, they've just left.

-It's not my fault...
-[Chris] Get in!

[Emma] Stanley, in! Where were you?

-[Emma] Where were you...
-[Vernon] Stanley!

[Emma] ...get inside now!
[shouting indistinctly]

[Chris] Do you not get it, lad?
Do you not f*cking get it?

[Rachel] Hi.
Sorry to bother you, I'm...

I'm sorry to bother you.
I'm Constable...

Hi. Sorry to bother you.
Erm... I'm, erm...

-[gate unlocks, squeaks]
-[dog howls in distance]

[footsteps approaching]

[Rachel] Hi. I'm sorry
to bother you. I'm Constable...

I'm, erm... I'm Rachel, Steve's ex.

I know who you are.

I just wanted to talk to you,
and, erm...

I'm really sorry
that I've come so late.

-It's just I saw...
-[Lorna] Yeah, he said you'd come.

-Is everything okay?
-He's warned me about you.

[Rachel] I'm sorry?

He said you'd come
and when he first said, honestly,

didn't believe it
'cause, I didn't think

anyone would be as mad as that.

-He warn... he warned you?
-[Lorna] Just go away.

I... I'm... I just want to help.

[Lorna] He said,
that you would come round,

you'd be causing trouble,
slagging him off,

making him look like a psycho,
but it's you who's mad.

I actually can't believe it.
It's exactly what he said,

-and here you are.
-[Rachel] I'm not mad.

So... so you went out of your way
to find out where I live,

and now you're outside my doorstep
at 1:00 in the morning.

-That's mad. You are f*cking mad.
-I'm not mad.

Now, please, f*ck off
and leave me alone.

-I'm... I'm just trying to help.
-[door thuds]

-Stop it!
-What the f*cking hell

are you doing here?

-Mad, am I?
-[Steve] I've got it.

-Am I mad?
-[Lorna] Get her out, Steve.

Yeah, go on. It's all right,
I've got her.

-[Rachel] You're in danger!
-All right.

-[Lorna] Just call the police.
-I am the f*cking police!

Gonna have to leave...
gonna have to leave, mate.

-I'm mad?
-[Steve] Get out now.

-What if I don't?
-[Steve] What if you don't?

What if I don't, Steve?
What are you going to do?

-Just go. Get out.
-[Rachel] Don't you

-f*cking touch me!
-Stop!

-Oh, my God! Stop it!
-[body thuds]

[grunts]

f*ck you! f*ck you!

f*ck you, Steve!

-f*ck you!
-[engine revs]

Jesus Christ.
Are you f*cking thick? A dog?

-I didn't say he was me kid, did I?
-Shut the f*ck up, c**t!

Shut the f*ck up!

Look, I didn't even want it
anyway man.

-Want what?
-What?

You said you never wanted it.

-What the f*ck is it?
-The... the phone.

The... Franny's phone.
Okay, look...

it's one of them f*cking
second gen Encro things, all right?

Whoa! Whoa.

What the f*ck
are you talking about?

Oh, hang on, mate,
here, have a look on it.

That's Franny's entire operation
right there.

Look, it's... it's probably
got everything on it.

It's like bank accounts,
where he gets his gear from,

who he owes, who owes him.

And then Hodgkin, he got his hands
on it and was blackmailing Franny.

He... he asked me
to mind it for him, and...

I don't want to die
over a f*cking phone, mate.

[sobs]

Mate, just get the f*ck
out of town, okay?

Get on a coach
and get the f*ck out of town.

-[engine revs]
-[Vernon sobs]

[door closes]

What you packing up for?
It's still bouncing in there.

Got to pick Lexie up

-We haven't.
-And what?

What are you doing?

This is f*cking mine now!

[Jodie] I'll f*cking pay you
when I'm ready.

-You're a cheeky twat.
-Yeah, I know.

And you know the thing about you?

You're just not up to this.

And you can forget
about the stash in that bag, too.

Come on, dickhead,

Go home to Lexie.

[Barry] Hurry up,

Hey.

-Barry, I'm telling you now.

They've robbed my f*cking drugs.

-Get out the van!

[Jodie] I'm not moving.

-[Jodie] I'm not moving anywhere!

-Get out the f*cking van!
-Move. Move!

Hey, do you think

-[tires screech]

[Jodie] Who the f*ck

-[Casey] Come here.

-Get off, get off.
-Lad.

-[Jodie] sh*t.
-Oh, God, I'm sorry.

[Jodie] Sorry. You're okay?

[sombre music playing]

[Brenda] You're taking
the piss now, lad.

-Oh! What happened to you?
-I just want to see Adele.

Go on.

-[baby wailing]
-[sobs] Hey.

-Hey.
-Oh, poor baby.

I'm so f*cking sick
of this, Brenda. [sobs]

Hey.

[coos]

[Brenda shushes]

Right. f*ck off, then.

[Vernon] What are you
going to do with it?

Honestly, er, if I was you,

I'd just throw it in the
f*cking Mersey, to be honest.

-Nothing but a poisoned chalet.
-Chalice. [sighs]

Although, you being a bizzie...

you might be able to crack it...

It's money, that.

It's a ticket to ride, that, mate.

There's your ticket to ride.

[sighs]

-Nice one, mate.
-Get to f*ck.

[seatbelt clicks]

Go easy.

[ominous music playing]

[mobile phone buzzes]

[Chris] All right? A bit busy
at the moment, mate.

[Rachel] Chris?
I've really f*cked up.

Can you come, please?

I'm gonna text you
the address of where I am.

[voice breaking]
Can you just get here, please?

[Lorna] Hey, hey,
you have to let me in the house.

[Rachel] Do not move!

You can't let him bleed like this!

Shut up! Keep your...
keep your f*cking voice down!

-[Chris] Hey!
-Shut the f*ck up, Lorna!

Hey, hey. f*ck's going on?

[Lorna] She's attacked him
is what's going on.

No. Stay there.

-All right.
-[Lorna] Can I just speak to you

-for two seconds?
-Yes. Calmly.

[Lorna] Okay.
She came to the house...

-[Rachel retches]
-...then she beat the sh*t

out of him. I'm just gonna need you
to call an ambulance

or do something,

-because she is doing nothing.
-All right. One moment, please.

Hey, hey.

All right, let's have a look.

Let's have a look
at what we've got here.

[Lorna] She smacked him
with a torch there.

Okay. All right.

[breathes heavily]
This is messed up, mate.

Do you mind if I just...

-f*cking... Ow!
-What the f*ck?

-Sorry. My fault.
-[groans]

-Don't cause a fuss.
-[Lorna] I'm not causing a fuss,

Steve, but look
at your f*cking head.

-[mobile phone rings]
-It looks superficial to me.

And I think we'll just take him

into custody,
I'll have a look at him there.

[Lorna] What'd you mean,
take him into custody?

He needs to go to a hospital!

-[Steve] I'm okay.
-[Lorna] Why is everyone acting

like this isn't a big deal?
I don't understand what's going on!

Oi. Rachel. What the f*ck?

-I f*cked up.
-[thunder rumbling]

[Chris] Yeah, you did.

I'm gonna need you
to come with me, please, sir.

Move back. Thank you.

-We can see...
-Ow! f*cking look...

-We can see you at the station.
-Wait, please.

It's a superficial wound.
He'll be absolutely fine.

Can I... I don't understand
what's happening right now.

[Chris] I'm arresting you
on suspicion of as*ault police.

You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defence

if you do not mention something
which you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say
may be given in evidence.

Rachel, a f*cking torch?

[Lorna] You just want me
to sit and wait?

Try and stay dry, madam, all right?

-[Lorna] f*ck you.
-[thunder rumbling]

[ominous music playing]

[Steve] You have no f*cking clue,
do you?

[mobile phone vibrates]

[mobile phone rings]

[Steve] You two are so f*cked.

-Hey, mate, just breathe.
-[groans] f*cking hell! Ow, ow, ow!

-All right. Okay...
-[Rachel] Relax.

-[Bernie] Bring him in.
-[Chris] Here we go.

-[Steve] Unbelievable, this!
-[door buzzes]

[Chris] There you go.
Mind how you go, mate.

-[breathes heavily]
-Sarge.

You gonna be all right
if we take off your handcuffs?

-[Steve] f*ck off, Rachel.
-All right.

Good lad. Good lad.

She's assaulted me.
She's my ex-girlfriend...

[mobile phone rings]

...and she's harassing
my now-girlfriend.

She's come round to my...
She's come round

to my missus' house tonight
and just literally battered me.

[Bernie] You'll get your chance
to speak in a minute.

[Steve] I want to make a complaint.

Just hold your breath for now,
okay?

-Hospital?
-Refused.

-No, I didn't. No, I didn't.
-Right.

Time, place and circumstances
of arrest.

Oh, this'll be good. Go on, go on.

Sergeant, I've arrested
this male for as*ault police.

as*ault po... as*ault police?

Look at the state of me!
Who's covered in blood in here?

[Chris] Hey, hey! Look, shut up
and face the sarge.

Okay, okay.

At 1:10, I was in a uni...

I was on uniform mobile patrol
in a single-crewed car

on Elgood Road

when I heard the sounds
of screaming and shouting.

[mobile phone rings]

f*ck's sake. Sorry.

-Do you need to be somewhere?
-[Chris] No, sarge.

-Is it gonna ring again?
-Mm-mm.

[mobile phone vibrates]

Continue.

[Rachel] Erm... I approached
the front door

of number 1 Elgood Road

to ascertain
what was taking place inside.

I then heard the sounds
of a distressed female

who was shouting in a manner
that indicated to me

that she was in danger.

Hang on.
I was literally on my Xbox,

and then she turned up.

[Rachel] I reached to press some
of the intercoms

and, erm, this male,
who I now know

-to be Steven Taylor...
-Now... What? Hang on a minute.

"You now... [chuckles]
You now know to be Steven Taylor".

You mad? We've known each other
for two years, Rachel.

We've literally shagged, yeah?
You've still got my coat as well.

-You know that she knows me.
All right, shut the...

-You know that.
-Listen, mate. Listen, mate,

-face the sergeant.
-[Steve] This is madness!

-This is madness!
-As I pressed

some of the intercoms,
this male, him,

this male burst out
of the front door

-and he charged at me.
-No. What the f*ck?

He charged at me
and he assaulted me...

-Oh, my...
-...by striking me on my chest

and pushing me backwards.

To prevent further injury,
and in accordance

with Home Office
approved guidelines,

I struck him
with my torch to subdue him.

It was at this moment
that I was joined by my colleague,

who rendered assistance in further
subduing the prisoner.

[Steve sighs deeply]

[indistinct chatter]

-Okay.
-[Steve] Okay?

I've decided there are sufficient
grounds for your detention.

Are you joking? Are you...
Do you think you're gonna

get away with this, Rachel?
This is stupid!

-Put him in M12.
-[Steve] I'm a firefighter.

I'm not a prisoner.
I've done nothing wrong.

Look at the state of me!
Rachel, you'll be sorry.

You're gonna be sorry.

-Okay. All right.
-[Steve] I swear to God!

-You're gonna be sorry, Rachel.
-[Rachel] Okay.

Doctor's room.

Now.

-Is that your ex?
-[Rachel] I didn't know it was him

-until I got to the door...
-Why were you there?

Hmm? We...
Me and her had lined up a gab.

We didn't get a chance to catch up
on parade, so we were gonna...

Do you two think
I was born yesterday?

His new girlfriend's
in the front office,

kicking off,
wanting to make a complaint.

Square your statements off.
I mean it.

If he'll have it, I'll kick him
with a caution in the morning

-before I go off.
-A caution? Come on, sarge...

[Bernie] How'd you think
this looks?

-It's not fair!
-Do you want him

-telling his story in court...
-[Rachel] No, I don't.

...while you're sat
on the witness bench...

-[Rachel] No, that's...
-...next to his new girlfriend...

who's made a complaint against you?

-[Rachel] I don't, sarge.
-[Bernie] No.

I thought not. Dope!

[newscaster speaking indistinctly]

[Chris] You should get some rest.

Rach?

You okay?

Hey...

Rachel?

[mobile phone buzzes]

f*ck. [sighs]

[mobile phone buzzes]

Nothing good comes
from avoiding calls and texts.

-Does it, Vernon? Does it?
-No. No, it f*cking doesn't.

[Franny] You need to give me
that phone back, Chris.

Believe me, I understand.
You want to do the right thing,

you're a bizzie.
But if you hand that phone in,

I'll make sure you go to prison
for ten years,

even if I have to plant ten kilos
of drugs on your bird, lad.

-And when you wake up in jug...
-[car horn honking]

...I will make sure
there is someone

on the other side of that cell
door every single...

Hang on.

[server] Welcome to Maxie's.
Can I get your order, please?

[Franny] Yeah, hiya, love.
Two sausage and egg roll meals,

one with an orange
and one with a latte, please.

[server] Of course. Anything else?

Do you want anything?

Erm... Can I have
a cheeseburger, please?

-It's breakfast.
-I know,

-but they might still have...
-It's breakfast, lad.

They won't do you a burger.

-Can you just ask them?
-Don't f*ck me about it.

-Okay, so, um...
-[server] Anything else?

-Hello. Erm...
-Just tell me. I'll tell them.

Can I have
a sausage and egg meal thing?

Hiya. Can I have another
sausage and egg meal, please,

-with an orange?
-[server] Mm-hmm.

Erm, sorry, no orange, actually,

cos it goes through me.
we'll have to swerve that, please?

[intercom crackles]

[server] Have you guys
made up your minds?

f*cking sass. Yeah.

Same thing, but no orange
in the last meal, please.

[server] 9.50.
Drive around, please.

-Thanks.
-[intercom chimes]

[groans] f*ck! f*cking hell!

[Franny] Wish you'd got on
that f*cking bus now,

don't you, lad?

[Vernon splutters] f*ck. [groans]

[tense music playing]

[Franny] Look, lad, you bury
your head in the sand as usual...

-[Vernon crying] f*cking hell!
-...but don't even think about

doing anything
other than giving me it back.

[Vernon sobbing, groaning]

[Franny] Let's all get back
to doing

what we were doing a week ago.

-There you go.
-[Franny] Thanks, darling.

-How you doing today?
-I'm very well, thank you.

[Franny] Look out the window, lad.

[sighs, clears throat]

[upbeat music playing]

So, I said to Leah, "Whatever
Jamie says, you can't believe him".

[yawns]

-You should go to bed.
-Mm-mm. No, I'm all right.

Mum could've took me.

I wanted to take you.

You shouldn't drive
when you're tired.

Christ, I'd never leave the house,
mate.

I wanted to take you
cos I wanna show you

-something on the way.
-What?

Erm...

you'll see.

Is it my dress for communion?

-Is it here?
-I'm not telling you.

It's my dress!
Have you unwrapped it?

[chuckles]

[Tilly] Least tell me
what it looks like.

[Chris] It looks terrible, okay?
It looks terrible.

[mobile phone buzzes]

There's nothing coming.

-[mobile phone buzzes]
-[ominous music playing]

[Tilly] Dad?

-[Chris] Uh-huh?
-Are you listening?

Yeah. [whispers] sh*t.

-[tyres screech]
-[car horn honks]

[Tilly] Where are we going?

Erm, we'll get it later.

-[Tilly] I want it now.
-Well, you can't have it now.

-[Tilly] I want it now!
-I said no.

-You always do this.
-Sorry, do what?

You always mess it up.
It's always the same.

I wanna get the dress
and take it to my house.

-Hey, hey! Hey!
-It'll stink of kebabs!

-Everything stinks in your flat!
-Tilly!

[Tilly] Kebabs and socks and dirt.

I want it in Mum's
where it's clean.

-And I can go...
-Don't you dare

ever talk to me like that again.
All right? Don't you dare.

[mobile phone ringing]

[ominous music playing]

-[sighs]
-[telephone rings]

[Rachel] Hi, sarge,
it's Rachel Hargreaves, E Block.

-Hargreaves.
-[Johnson] Give it here.

What sort of f*ck-up was that?

Do you know what?
I don't want to know.

f*ck it. He's been bailed.

What? What?
Why's he been bailed?

Bernie said we were
just gonna give him a caution.

Are we charging him now?

Christ, no, we're not charging him.

What I'm trying to do is make
all this go away.

We need this complaint dropped
so you can keep your job

and we can keep this shitshow
out of the papers.

The only way we can get
it dropped is to have him think

he's going to end up in court
if it doesn't.

That way, he goes home,

tells his girlfriend
to drop it or else,

and this gets filed in the bin.

Trust me, you of all people
don't need a complaint this week.

Cakes on my desk next time
you're on days.

[line disconnects]

[sobs softly]

[indistinct chatter]

You f*cking c**t.

[mobile phone buzzes]

[Betty] Tea's made.

It's only quarter past nine, Mum.

Dinner, then.

[sighs]

-[Betty] Spuds? [sighs]
-Yeah, lovely.

There you are. Oh, help yourself.

I'll just go and get the jippo
and the peas.

Smashing.
Oh, do you know what, Mum?

I just remembered, I've got
to go back to the lockup.

-But I made you...
-Well, make us a plate up.

and I'll take it with me.

All right, love.

-Looks delicious, though.
-Yeah.

[doorbell rings]

Hiya. All right?

That baghead's been living
on the stairs for months.

He's all right, like. Except he
keeps sh1tting by the bins!

[baby grumbles]

He cleans up, though.

You know, he loves kids.

I wouldn't let him near her, like,
but he loves them.

Not... not in a dodgy way.
Like, I just mean...

He's all right is what I mean.
[chuckles]

Sit. Erm...

Can I... Do you want a cup of tea?

Marco, please just relax, okay?

I'm a social worker,

but I want this to work for you
and Adele today, okay?

Yeah, that's right.
Just a bit nervous.

-I know.
-[door opens]

[Casey] He's sh*t
by the bin again!

Anyone want a cuppa?

-You got stuff for a brew?
-Yeah.

I'm his girlfriend. I love kids.

[Kristy] Does she live here?

-[Marco] Who's that, then?
-[Kristy] Hello, Adele.

Hello! Nice to meet you. Aw!

[indistinct chatter]

[Kristy] She's absolutely gorgeous.

[wrapper rustles]

[snorts]

-[Marco] What you doing?
-Nothing.

Are you... are you sniffing coke?

-Are you f*cking sniffing beak?
-Lad, it was a bump.

-[Marco] Lad!
-Do you want some?

It'll calm you down,
stop you acting weird.

-Give it here.
-[Casey] No.

-Give us the f*cking...
-No!

-Give us...
-No! It was a bump!

[whispering] Shut the f...

[truck horn blares]

[mobile phone rings]

Yeah, all right.
f*cking all right, c**t! c**t!

Okay, I won't f*cking sleep, then.
I won't f*cking sleep.

[system voice] Please
leave your message after the tone.

[sombre music playing]

[door opens]

[customer 1] Two eggs on toast,
please, love.

[customer 2] Hey, he's in our spot.

Hey.

Can I get me head down here?

Has someone put
a bed and breakfast sign

in my front garden?

What?

What's up with your gaff?

Erm, they're doing work
in the shop,

the banging and that.
I'm on nights. I'm shattered.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Oh, f*cking hell, that's nice.

[Jodie] Why have you got
two phones?

[Chris] Erm...
work phone, my phone.

Encro?

You don't wanna know.

Asking is literally the definition
of wanting to know, dickhead.

[chuckles]

This is the reason
why you can't go home, is it?

-Chris, is my house safe?
-Nobody knows I'm here.

-[mobile phone rings]
-Oh, f*cking Christ.

Hang up, will you?

-[mobile phone rings, stops]
-What are you gonna do?

[Chris] I don't know, mate.

It's... It's a f*cking
drug dealer's Encro.

I'm not gonna give it back.

I'll be all right once
I get to work.

I'm safe in my uniform,
and I'll be able to...

f*cking think.
I just need to sleep.

Get your head down.

If you're gonna fart,
open the window.

[sighs]

[ominous music playing]

[mobile phone rings]

[Franny] Give me my f*cking phone
back now.

Hello?

-[Jodie] This your phone, yeah?
-[Franny] Who the f*ck are you?

[Jodie] One sec.

[Franny] Where's the other fella?

[Jodie] On me couch, asleep.

[Franny] Listen, I want that phone.

What do you want for it?

[Jodie] Someone's robbed
something off me

and I need people
to help get it back.

[Franny] Fine. What's the address?

You got a pen?
