[bunniefuu]

The man who sets the detonators

is called Terry.

He's suspicious as hell.

Stay close to your dad,

and listen out for the mention

of someone called Lemongrass.

If I'm caught, I'm dead.

You've taken part in an operation

as part of an active service unit.

You have obligations

to other members of that unit.

A day dawns when you know

you can't go on like this.

Why don't we make that day today?

Dante, are you also a virgin?

I don't know.

How can you not know?

Well, I'd have to take

into consideration previous lives.

A deal? With the Ra?

They will use you for their own

purposes

and then they will put you

under a motorway.

You have an informant in Coventry.

I know who he is.

You're in this now.

There's no getting out.

Get on the ground! Armed police!

Get on the ground! Get in!

How difficult is it

to learn the drums?

We need a drummer.

Drummers are easy to find.

What we really need is someone

who knows the record business.

Hello, Jeff, it's Fiona.

Somebody dropped off a tape I think

you should listen to.

Heaven or hell.

Arrrgh!

I don't care.

Let it come.

I watch the birds taking off

I think about you

You waiting for me?

Jeannie

apart from in previous lives,

I am a virgin

and I've decided if I want to write

songs about love and women,

I can't carry on being one.

So therefore

So therefore, what?

You know lots of girls.

And you yourself are a girl.

And I thought

there are two possibilities.

Either me,

or one of the lots of girls?

Yes.

Do you have a preference, Dante?

Yes, Fiona.

But I don't think that's possible.

Bye, Dante.

So, let's begin

with the business of the day.

Come on.

We need to talk about London.

I've had some correspondence

from our friends in Kilburn.

So, Dante.

You want to lose your virginity?

ECHOES

Dante, you said you required

a particular service?

I remember my brother saying

you know people

who will have sex for money.

HE SCOFFS

Does your brother know

you've come here?

When does this place open?

One week.

Money in my pocket

Actually, Dante, if you've got

HE CHUCKLES

It's a bit early in the day.

But there's a place you can go.

She does mornings

OK.

We'll book this place for our band

for opening night.

Opening night's taken.

Red carpet.

UB40 top of the bill.

OK, the night after. Dante, do you

want to lose your virginity or not?

Yeah.

So I made the call.

She'll be ready in half an hour.

I have no idea

how this is going to go.

Worst thing that can happen is

nothing happens.

Want a drink?

I don't drink.

You can't do this alone, Dante.

You walk in there alone,

you get nervous.

Nothing will happen.

My dad says it's like

you put a thief in your mouth

to steal your brains away.

OK.

Even better idea.

I've got something here

SLURPS AND GULPS

Nothing anybody said was

an exaggeration.

Said about what?

About everything.

Except what they taught us

at school made it all seem normal.

Which it isn't.

Sex is like me.

The whole thing is mad as f*ck.

You've had sex?

Yes.

Have you got any more?

No. Who have you had sex with?

I have no idea. OK.

Where did you have sex?

I don't know.

Other than rum and dope,

what did you take?

Some pills Wire gave me.

Oh, f*ck. Seriously, Jeannie.

I've found something

as ridiculous as me.

Did Wire arrange the arrangement?

What arrangement? Oh, the sex?

Yeah. He did.

Did you wear protection? Jeannie,

the song that's going to come out

of this is going to be insane.

Also, Jeannie,

the other thing I've decided is

we really need a drummer.

But I don't think

Fiona would be any good

because she's from Sutton Coldfield.

Dante! Have you even heard of VD?

Also

I've thought of a name for the band.

Ready?

Big

The Big New Everything.

Today it all made sense.

The stuff that comes to me,

it's like I had a way of

making it make sense.

What were these pills

Wire gave to you?

Not sure

Think he said it was called Whizz.

Dante, let's go.

Where's your hat?

Ah, f*ck.

Wire will know.

Dante, don't go back!

Dante, do not go back!

If you go back,

you will keep going back!

Expenses.

For you and the boy.

All me and the boy want is

to be set free.

The reason I instructed you

to introduce the idea

of an informant to our friends

in Sparkhill

was to activate

their security procedures.

To force them to make changes

to existing operations

in case those operations had already

been compromised.

I know.

I spent time with the Hereford boys

in Armagh.

Well

our little ruse worked.

I'm not asking the boy

to wear a wire ever again.

Next time, he'll break.

Next time won't be his first time.

On the tape, the man, Terry, talks

about making changes

to the "Kensington thing".

And the woman, Mrs Porter,

discusses contacting people

in Kilburn by post.

Odd that a Coventry cell is

discussing a London operation.

What's going to be your definition

of escape velocity?

When will me

and the boy have done enough?

Having listened to the tape of the

conversation

in The Gate Hangs Well pub, I'd say

your mission now is to find out

what the f*ck a Coventry battalion

are planning to do in London.

OK, and if we do?

You can go off,

live a quiet life of petty crime

and violence.

And the boy, Bardon Quinn,

can go on and become a rock star.

Branch have him

under 24-hour surveillance.

We've bugged the warehouse

where his band's rehearsing.

Got the tape here.

According to the boys in the Branch,

they're very good.

she was going to buy them,

but, f*ck They look f*cking

They, they look like, er

somebody fat in a smart suit.

I've been playing your tape

to scouts.

From their response, I think

you are all worth investing in.

How hard can it be, right?

I mean, hit the fat man

in the smart suit with a stick.

Dante, we hear that since

we last saw you, you've changed.

BASS DRUM BANGS

She told you about the golden

afternoon.

How are you feeling, Dante?

I'm feeling like that.

Yeah, you look like that.

It's not just booze.

He thinks sex and drugs will

make him a better songwriter.

f*ck. This is SO what you'd expect

from a normal band,

and so what you wouldn't from Dante.

CYMBAL CRASHES

So

who IS going to play drums for us?

Fiona, you need to put up

a thing in your shop.

An advert - "Fat man wanted

to hit the f*cking"

You know what?

He is the perfect candidate

for f*cking himself up like this.

DANTE VOMITS

They say it can be hereditary.

His dad was an alcoholic.

Some people, if they start,

they can't stop.

By the way, I've written

this f*cking amazing song.

That stuff I discovered on the

golden afternoon makes it come easy.

We're going to be called

No, we're not.

Go to sleep, Dante.

He's discovered some sh*t

some idiot gave him

and he drank and smoked, and

straight away I get the impression

he is like a dealer's dream, with

no vetting procedure whatsoever.

I want you to let him sleep it off.

In the morning, in the morning,

explain to him the folly of

in the bud,

Dante will go all the way to hell.

That is how he is.

Lean on each other.

And keep him clean.

If you help him, this music thing

we're doing might work.

People say we're good.

Think about it. If I get famous,

I'll be no use to the Ra.

You can't have famous people

sneaking around

with Semtex in their bag, now,

can you?

This is my way out, Mum.

And the next sip of booze

you have

will be a sip of champagne

Promise me.

He's too nice to be left

in the custody of someone weak

and helpless like me.

You are weak,

but you're not helpless.

I truly believe you don't give

We keep a good close eye on you,

that's for sure.

I was told you wanted

to come and, um

Pick your brains.

Yes.

That is what we want.

Do you mind if I smoke?

No.

It's about a man you know

as Virgil.

You know him?

Yes.

Well?

Er, not for a while.

He used to work for you. Yes.

And then he joined the British Army.

So I understand.

Yes or no is fine.

He made contact with us through you.

He asked. I just

Yes or no is just fine.

Yes.

Where'd you get the spaceman?

I bought it at auction.

Why did Virgil leave

the British Army? I don't know.

He was always a bit wild.

I heard he got into trouble.

He said it was

because he had Irish family.

And you believe him? As a friend.

I'm not a friend.

How much did you pay

for the spaceman?

£225, plus commission.

Is he for sale?

Everything is for sale.

Do you trust Virgil?

I tend not to trust.

Yes or no?

Yes.

He was reliable.

So you vouch for him?

Yes or no?

Er, well, I cannot say,

hand on heart that I would,

er, vouch for him, as I don't know

what your relationship with him is.

He's providing us with information.

Should we trust that information?

I cannot, hand on heart

It's your brains we've come to pick,

not your heart.

Although both organs are available

to us.

Understand this, Mr Carmen,

it was you who put Virgil in touch

with us,

and that means

you're liable for his actions.

f*ck.

And, if it should turn out that

Virgil's not actually being

truthful with us

Then, his guarantor becomes liable

for his mistake.

That's usually the way, isn't it?

Among friends.

And if your friend Virgil

disappoints us,

it'd be a shame for all your hard

work to go up in smoke.

I understand. What do you

understand? You want intelligence.

We all want intelligence.

You want me to find out

what Virgil is really doing.

We want you to actively pursue

information

about his true intentions, yes.

Through friends and lovers.

Using any means necessary.

And report that information

back to us.

That I will do.

Good. Get back to us soon,

because there are things on our

agenda on which we need clarity.

I think he won't hang around.

I will make it a top priority.

Let's say you'll get back to us

within the week.

beaten up a bit.

That's what I was told.

Have a listen.

See what needs beating up.

As a matter of fact

I have no opinion

of motorway bridges.

But I'm sure I could be persuaded

to like them.

Are are you getting the bus

back to Birmingham?

Train.

The station's reopened.

When you've listened to the tape,

give us a call.

Oh, there's still one in here.

For the train.

So if I like the music,

am I part of the band, or?

We are a democracy.

We'll take a vote.

Wait, I forgot to ask her something.

Dante, don't make a

f*cking fool of yourself.

Did you see her arms? No.

She had needle marks.

She is a drummer.

Drummers are not meant to be normal.

If a drummer was normal,

that'd be weird.

And if we wait for a clean drummer,

we'll wait forever.

I vote yes. I vote no.

Before you decide to give me a vote,

I've got something to tell you.

I want to ask you something.

When music comes to you,

is it like pictures

that you can't describe to anyone?

Sometimes, yeah.

I get words coming to me.

I get like screaming to the beat.

Rolls around in my mouth.

That makes no sense but Good.

I don't like sense.

Where do you live?

Moseley. The cool part.

I live on the Wood.

The really rough, sh*t part.

I collect interesting people.

Do you hang them on your wall?

You should come to Moseley.

I hang out in a pub.

It's called the Fighting c*ck.

Lots of madness, music.

You come on a Saturday night,

and I'll introduce you to some

really, really interesting people.

You could talk to them.

About motorway bridges.

I also like space.

Oh, man.

We love space.

If you've all voted already

I vote yes. Before you vote,

Bardon has something to tell you.

Something to not tell you,

because I don't know what it is yet.

Tomorrow I'm going to London.

I have no idea what it is

that they want me to do.

But I'm going at the request

of my father.

So there's a chance that after I do,

whatever it is,

they're going to send me

straight to Dublin or Belfast

to disappear for a while.

But if I make it back here,

I want you all to know

that I no longer just want this band

to work, I f*cking need it to work.

And just like you, Dante

I have absolutely no other

credible option on this Earth

other than to get famous.

My only option is Tesco checkout.

Me a record shop.

Then some sort of law firm.

Then marriage.

Probably a solicitor.

Probably called Gary.

I think you all know, for me,

it's living on a bridge.

So

I do what I have to do in London,

I do what I can to get back here,

and then when I return,

we all do whatever it takes

to get famous as f*ck.

And to do that,

we are going to need the drummer

who's going to beat us up a bit.

All those in favour.

But you

you stay close to me.

This world

Is going up in flames

And nobody

Wanna take the blame

Don't tell me

How to live my life

When you

Never felt the pain

Oh, oh, oh, ooh oh, oh, oh

Ooh

Oh, oh, oh

They don't hear me cry

Ooh

Oh, oh, oh

They don't hear me try

Ooh

Oh, oh, oh

Ooh.
