Yeah, you were smashed, lad.

Don't you remember?

Elaine, might be best

if you go in the car.

I'm staying with Ronnie.

If we do get stopped,

it's better I'm with him.

As we were, then.

Me and Jamie.

Catch you up on the motorway.

You keep going.

Do you want a minute with him -

before I take him?

No. I'm OK.

I've been trying not

to imagine him in there

..growing cold.

He hated the cold.

It's not how I wanna see him.

That's fair enough.

I'm not letting him down, am I?

Not going with you? Never.

There's no rules.

You deal with this in your own way.

I don't wanna go inside.

We can sit here

for as long as you like.

Tell the undertaker

I want him looking smart.

Yeah.

He likes his clothes.

I texted Jamie.

He's going to drop off

a few of his suits.

I think I like

the navy blue one the best.

Thanks, Michael.

I'm glad he's home.

We did the right thing.

Yeah. We did.

Will you speak?

At the funeral?

Will you give the eulogy?

Yeah.

If you want me to.

That's what I want.

It's what he would have wanted.

I'll speak to Jamie.

Unless you want a quiet word

with him.

Is it all done?

All done. He's with Frankie.

Nice one.

I'm thinking

..we should all meet - tomorrow.

Whereabouts? The safe place.

Me, you, Duffy, Jamie.

There's things to discuss.

I'll sort it.

I'm gonna send you

a picture of a passport,

some beaut called Steven Seed.

He's a mate of Jamie's,

and he was on the ferry.

That's interesting.

Yeah. OK.

We need to get him isolated,

find out what he knows.

I wanna talk to him. Yeah.

Talk to you in the morning.

Oh, God. Where have you been?

I've missed you so much, babe.

I've missed you too.

I've been thinking about you

nonstop.

I've been so worried about you.

Just listen. Listen to me.

I get it. I absolutely get it.

But it needs to be over.

Yeah. Yeah.

I don't wanna lose you.

I'm going nowhere, babe.

Oh, God, I really don't want

to lose you.

I promise.

I promise

it will all be over soon.

Because I just want you.

You and me.

RACHEL: How does this read?

It's Ronnie's notice

for the newspaper.

Yeah.

Yeah. It's nice.

It's lovely.

Have you thought any more

about who did it?

All the time.

Have you thought about why?

Well, he had his fair share

of enemies.

He'd upset more than

his fair share of people.

Bad people.

As Bobby says

..he didn't do quiet.

Just wish he'd come to bed.

And that this isn't the beginning

of something really bad.

BOBBY: Why can't we meet

somewhere normal,

like a car park?

There's too much dogging

in a car park.

Where's Jamie? On his way.

He's picking up

the death certificate.

b*stard spiked my drink -

on the ferry.

Nah

Why would he do that?

Have you pulled him? Was it a joke?

Was it a bad joke? You sure, Mike?

Morning, boys.

All very h*m*, this.

I was just telling the lads

..how you spiked my drink.

What, when was that?

You're paranoid, you.

No. I don't think so.

All right, you're just

chatting sh*t, then.

Death certificate sorted, Jay?

All done. Heart attack.

Brought on by a blade.

Right. On to practicalities.

We protect our markets, our lines.

We get on to every grafter,

every connection we've got.

Yeah? Ronnie's gone

and we're devastated,

but it's still business as usual.

It's not, though, is it?

How can it be business as usual?

We've got nothin' to sell.

The Amigos have agreed

to send us another load.

I told them Ronnie asking

for time was bullshit.

I told them the truth -

that we've been f*cked over

and that we've lost

our entire supply.

I'm sure they were

very impressed.

Sotwo or three weeks'

wait time and we're back.

Even two weeks is too long.

The lines are dry.

We need lemo now.

And how do we do that, Jay?

Are you asking me? Yeah.

Right, I say we go to 'Dam

and we use the Albanians.

They sell quality product,

they sell it cheap,

and it's next-day delivery.

No.

They're the f*cking Amazon

of narcotics.

I just told you no.

As far as I'm concerned,

it's good business.

Deal with the Albanians once,

and before you know it,

they've moved in.

You can't keep them out forever.

We're not London.

We're Liverpool.

And Liverpool's ours.

The lines in and out

belong to us.

There's six flights a day.

We can be there dinner time.

Never.

Never. And yer aul' fella

would say the same.

I really don't think he would.

Is this when you think you're

a man now? Are you in charge?

Did I say that?

Come on. Are you?

Am I in charge, Duff?

I assume so.

Yeah.

Same. All good by me.

Jamie?

OK.

Maybe you'll grow on me.

Cold plunge, anyone?

GROANS

Are we good, Jay?

Oh, yeah. Sound, lad.

DOOR CLOSES

SIGHS

Are we done, Michael?

We need to cash up, Duff.

Ask Rach to put together a figure.

We need a mil to pay the Amigos

for the last deal.

And we need another mil

as a deposit for this new deal.

I'll call her.

DOOR OPENS

DOOR CLOSES

Is that right?

What, the Amigos -

they'll supply us?

On condition

..I finish Jamie.

They want stability.

But I'd like to find

our missing lemo first.

We never started this.

Are you gonna tell me

how it went, then, or what?

As expected.

Michael's in charge.

Yeah, of what, though? Hey?

Are we safe?

Hope I don't need

to start wearing a vest,

cos I can't be arsed with that.

You're safe enough

till after the funeral.

No-one's gonna make a move

before then.

Hey, listen, we need to get

that Billy the Kid

off the streets, though.

I don't want him

talking to Michael.

The lad knows too much.

Does Michael even know

who Billy is?

Yeah, he kicked f*ck out of him

at that chop house,

didn't he? So he knows

he's involved.

He'll be round his bird's house,

him, you know.

Billy? Yeah.

Let's go there now, then.

Cheryl. Hiya.

Hi.

We're not open just yet.

The door should have been locked.

I just want five minutes

of your time. Please.

I've been trying to get through

to my daft, annoying husband.

Been nothing on socials

of the photographs

of Ronnie and Elaine's

celebrations in Spain.

How was it?

It's hard to say

seeing how it all ended.

You do know?

Yeah.

Was Davy actually there?

It's just there's

..no sign of him

in the photographs.

Yeah. First day he was there.

And then he went to see a friend.

You should ask Michael.

EXHALES

Michael tells lies.

He went to see a friend, Cheryl.

That's all I know.

Is there a reason

he's not answering his phone?

I I don't know.

I'm sorry too.

Was he there when Ronnie died?

He'd left by then. Yeah.

But they told him? I mean

You're asking the wrong person.

EXHALES SHARPLY

You're learning.

RATTLES LETTERBOX

Hi, love. Is Molly there?

Who wants to know?

I'm a mate of her fella's - Billy.

Is it Billy you want?

What, is he here, is he?

Hey.

No, he's not here.

My mum kicked him out.

Who are you?

She best be not be

telling lies, love.

No, she isn't telling lies.

He was here yesterday,

and now he's gone.

Cos I don't want the likes

of you knocking on my door.

Well, Little Blink's

She wants you gone.

Ah. Don't talk about

Keen. I like it.

What was you doing on the ferry?

Delivering jib.

GHB.

Why was Jamie so desperate for jib?

To knock you out.

And then take you out.

He decided against it.

Why did he decide against it?

TheThe cameras -

all over the boat.

Jamie robbed a truckload of lemo

off his aul' fella worth millions.

Where is it?

He didn't, did he?

Why would he do that?

Where is it?

Look, I swear down

on my mother's life,

talking about, I swear down.

And if we find him?

You're available?

Yeah, I'll have to be.

Just message me.

That's the idea. Yeah.

And you're taking over from Michael.

Second in command. Maybe. We'll see.

So what does that make me?

Look, son

..me and you are gonna have to have

a very long talk about it.

And how is he?

He's like his aul' fella.

How are things with the lads?

Getting sorted

..I thinkhope.

I've told him

I don't want any trouble.

That's the last thing we need.

He knows. We all know.

I do think it'll be down

to Jamie, though,

going along with Michael.

Going along how exactly?

Well, with Michael as top man.

And Jamie doing what?

As he's told? As one of us.

And what if Ronnie

wanted more than that?

He did want more than that.

Well, he never said it

Jamie won't fall in behind Michael.

Does he have a choice?

If it ain't broke, babe,

don't break it.

Or we could do

what's best for us.

And that's Jamie.

You could be his voice of reason.

No.

Jamie's got his own lads.

And Michael's a mate.

Does he still see you as a mate,

or does he see you as being

married to Jamie's cousin?

Michael is you and me sat

around a kitchen table,

counting out grubby £10 notes

from botty bars.

The only way Jamie can take him on

is by taking him out.

If we're not careful,

we are all gonna end up

with nothin'.

We deserve more, Bobby Duffy.

That's all I'll say for now.

How d'you want me to do it,

like?

Physical? No.

You just want to invite him.

You say that name, he's not

gonna want to get hurt.

And what if he says no?

What then?

You say it with authority.

No is not an option.

Are you sure you're all right

Yeah. Course, yeah.

Yeah. It came from Jamie.

I thought it was all legit.

So, if he had more gear,

where's he keeping it stashed?

I don't know.

Honest. I don't know.

He knocked at your door today.

You said so. I didn't speak to him.

Yeah, well, he wants to speak

to you.

Billy, look at me.

Don't f*cking mess me about, kid.

Where's his base camp?

Where does he keep running back to?

I don't know anything.

If he calls, I can tell you.

Well, what do I get?

No f*cking rewards here.

You get to walk out of here

Find me his stash house.

OK.

Do we have to? Yeah.
