03x03 - Bridge Over Troubled Water

Post by bunniefuu »

Becoming business partners
and got used to being the boss.

Serbs and Kosovars were
immediately attacked each other.

That's what happens when you don't ask too many questions.
If you had asked Moxey...

would have known about the villain
called Mickey Startup.

At the farewell ceremony of the bridge...

we saw Barry's pretty
Russian persecution Tatiana.

Oz saw him and his
his brother Kadi a little closer.

The sister of two Kosovars came,
and Ned got to play the hero.

The following also appeared on the scene
Startup k*ller Teddy Platt.

The man disappeared somewhere,
and we don't know where.

GOODBYE, SWEETHEART!

Who came up with the idea of hiring Serbs and
Kosovars as employees?

They hate each other.
- They're just insulting.

sh**ting staples with slingshots.
Soon someone's eye will be blown out.

I'm out of here as soon as I see the crossbow.

Does your contract also include
assembling a bridge in Malaysia?

There was talk about it.

Have you received more information?
- No.

No transport instructions. Only
ominous silence.

If things go wrong,
what do I do on the bridge?

There are always plenty of dumplings.

Isn't the Brooklyn Bridge
has been sold many times over?

BACKGROUND

Put the top one on.

Who are you?
- Kosovars, came after their brothers.

The boys took him to a motel.
- Why?

She was scared of him,
who was looking for Moxey.

I need to talk to Moxey. Always
he's up to something obscure.

Moxey is Moxey.

Irena is here to help, not to
...and not freak out at the robot motel.

He could not be put
in the shack of the workers.

Did you talk to Grainger about it?
- No. There were other things.

Have you got out of bed
on the wrong foot?

I didn't even sleep:
I drove straight from London.

You're going there, and fast,
if there's still a sound!

Where did you find it? - A guy spread it around
...across the river.

My son. "Rod
Osborne, just one week".

Did the boy tell you?
- He said he had a gig.

Let's go and see.
- Sure.

Where is the club?
- In Spennymoor.

That's great!

Thank you, Irena. There is no
much more work for you.

I would go to my brothers' apartment
to clean up. Buy groceries.

The place needs a woman's touch.

I could take Irene to the market for groceries.

If you have nothing else to do.

You know my car. I'll see you outside.

You have been from the start
kind to me. Thank you

What is it now? Isn't it customary?

Nor was Lorraine
good for your blood pressure.

What are you talking about?
- You know.

Girl with big eyes
and a sexy accent.

Neville gets to play the brave knight!
- That's not it.

Be careful. You've seen the girl's brothers.

Kosovars is like
Sicilians and Corsicans.

If you sully the family honour,
they'll preserve your c*ck in vinegar broth!

f*ck you, Oz!

Why did Startup send a man after you?

It's a long story.
- We have time to listen.

I worked for the police.

Seriously!

I was working at the Startup Club.

The police gave the combination to the safe.
- Why?

They wanted evidence
of illegalities. Documents.

Five were joking about the money.
- Did you take the money?

There just happened to be
a bundle of reef sand.

And it certainly wasn't taxable income.

How much money was there?
- I didn't count.

That's all I took,
to get my share together.

It's amazing. Irene also ran away from Startup.
- It wasn't a miracle.

Startup masters the dark
labour-power market in the North.

Kosovars came directly from
here, to a big construction site.

You're the one the bad guys are looking for.
Just stay at the motel.

I've always been alone.

and old friendship is
the best thing about this gig.

And now you should hide on your own!

The motel has a candy machine and sky channels.

For you, it's luxury.

You're right, you're right.

Mac men? What
What operating system?

eBay auction.

I bought a guitar there, a Fender Stratocaster.

Are you buying or selling?
- None of your business.

Is there something wrong

The sale of the bridge could falter.
Nothing is certain.

so don't go opening your head to others.
- Of course not.

You have a secure future in DJing.

Not so much now.

I'm not a superstar.
I think I exaggerated a bit.

In what way?

I coloured the truth a little.
- Was that a pun?

Does my skin colour bother you?
- Don't be silly.

My team is playing in black and white.
I despise the Londoners.

This Londoner sold
his guitar and his car.

Why on earth?

To be honest, I wanted to move
my life. There's nothing to brag about.

What if it goes wrong?

Then we are both poor and painful.

Barjuska!

My friends! Did we wake you?

In fact, you woke me up.

What are you doing?

I had to visit the factory. Nice kimono.

I bought from Bond Street. Available from
Barry look thinner.

Forget it. Why did you have to
go to work so late?

You would be happy when he is
so hard-working. He's a good boy.

Do you want a line?

No thanks. I'm off to
north early in the morning.

That stuff would make me jump off the walls.

I'll have a cup of Ovaltine.

Put this on, Barry.

What the hell!

Rivet. Damn!

The boys are at w*r. Good
they don't have bazookas.

They must be on order.
- I'll have to move the car.

My son.
- That's great.

Are you going to talk to Barry?
- About what?

About what you saw.
- What is it about?

I saw Barry's chick get grabbed.

It's behind Barry's back.
- With who?

His brother. - That's ill*gal.
except in the Shrophy region.

Maybe he's not a brother. Barrya
is a bargain.

Sorry to hear that. Barry is
Barry's a bloody good bloke. Yeah, he is.

Are you sure? Not
it was completely innocent?

Would siblings do this?

He had his knee here and his hand on the stump.

Then it squeezed the t*ts
and pushed her tongue like this.

Got it, Oz.
- What's going on here?

I think I've got cabin fever.

Is everything OK?
- Not really.

Problems at home.

What kind of problems?

Secret dealings on my back
behind my back. It feels awful.

I trust people.
- We are all victims of trust!

The worst thing is that it
is your own brother-in-law, Kadi.

I didn't like the guy
at first sight.

When did you start to have doubts?
- It's been nagging at me for a while.

Several small things.
Strange things to do at night.

In your own place.

No, in a warehouse.

Do they do it in the warehouse?
- Yes.

Are you going to talk to your wife?
- I don't want to involve her in this.

You have to. I didn't care
my other wife's business.

When I raised the issue, it was living
already lived with the point hitter.

I'm not talking about my marriage.
- You're not?

Of course not. Why so
Just us.

What is Tatjana Ladoïs connection?
I'm talking about Kadi and her friend.

They are smuggling something.
They're taking cars back and forth.

Are they transporting drugs?

Maybe. Or money or icons.

A new cargo is on the way
this week in airfreight.

I think I'll go to the warehouse,
when it sneaks up on you in the dark.

It can be dangerous if you are spotted.

We could come along as supporters.

You don't let a guy down.

Of course not. Right, Den?

That's great.

What kind of music does your son sing?
- I have no idea.

As a child it sang Duran
Duran. Hopefully not anymore.

It could have been
worse, the Spandau Ballet.

Not to your taste.
- How do you know?

I can guess the guy's taste in music.
- Bullshit!

You don't know me and you can't know,
what I'm listening to. - Let's try.

Old Rollars, Clash,
Clapton with a country twist.

A near miss.
- He's been going through my records at home.

I am not. What about Dennis then?

Otis Redding, Aretha.
- Aretha?

Marvin Gaye.

You can fall for Rod Stewart
in the hum of a karaoke bar.

Hard to argue with the answer.
- What about me?

Easy. Abba and Acker Bilk.

What about Neville?
- Darker stuff.

The Smiths, The Cult and Depeche Mode.

Background information for the selfie.
- Not my cup of tea at all.

Nowadays, Nev peeps
Destinys Child videos.

A pleasant place.
- Few women.

Back on track. Nev?
- Just saying.

There is a couple in the bar.

Are you blind? g*y club.
- What?

This is a g*y club.
- In Spennymoor?

The boy is right.
The guys are dancing with each other.

My linen has not been tweaked.
- Does your son know?

Who cares? A gig is a gig
even in a left-handed place.

Probably a choker.

We love you, Rod!

Does the goose take a drink?

Threefold.
- What species?

Anything.

He's good.

Isn't it?
- No doubt. Announced Dusty Springfield.

I didn't know you were here.
- I thought I'd surprise you.

It turned out the other way round.

Star's dressing room.

Shirley Bassey has sung here.

The real Shirley or someone
The right one.

Would you like to sit down?
- No, thank you. This is fine.

Something to drink? Oh yes, you're not having one.

I took a couple today.
- Was it a shock to the system?

A shock? I was in a frenzy.

It was a great performance.

Isn't it just a performance, a trick?

At least you're not like that.
- g*y?

No, it's not.
- I'm g*y.

f*ck! Is it permanent?
Not just a phase?

I've known since I was 14,
and it's not because I don't have a father.

There is no need to feel guilty.
- It's your mother I blame.

Taken at your whim.
- Are we talking about the same woman?

Paid for skating lessons when
normal kids kicked the ball?

Didn't you have Torvill and
Dean poster on the wall of your room?

Maybe you should leave.
- I guess so.

Doesn't fit in the skull.

He's not g*y.

He thinks he is, but he's not.

Just exegitionism. Needs attention.
- That's right.

Would that bother you even if it did?
- It certainly would for me.

Even if it is.
- It can't be!

There have been no f*gs in our family.

At least not after the Second World w*r.

Case closed. Is that clear?

There are no fingers in the rear.

Do you work here?
- Working for Bridgenorth, yes.

So you're in charge of the work?
- In a way.

I'm Nicki Myles.
- Neville Hope.

It's a shame to see the old bridge demolished.
- It's good for the area in the end.

How many men work here?
- Fifty or so.

Nowadays, I don't think you're a working man.
not many Brits around today. - Not really.

Why do you ask?
- I'm doing an article on foreign labour.

Seeking a better livelihood.

We were working in Germany too,
Spain, Kazakhstan.

That's great.
- There was no work here.

Where do the workers come from?
- From the Balkans, victims of w*r.

Lost their homes,
their families. Irena has said.

It would be great to talk
him. You were Neville, weren't you?

Maybe it can be arranged.

He will be performing all weekend.
- What?

Your son. Why did you run the poster?

Not interested. I don't have
I don't have a son... And I don't have a father...

and even if it is,
my sex life would not be disturbed.

Your father had more
chicks than Mick Jagger.

A man would break if you were a f*g.
- No way

Don't forget that I
I knew your father and you didn't.

You haven't seen Rod in years.

It was not my fault.
- Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't.

If you leave it at that, when
will you meet next time?

Who the f*ck are you
joke boy think you're talking to?

Kadi!
- Lev.

What do you mean you're not coming? We agreed.

Barry has serious problems.
- As we all do.

Do you mean a boy?

Didn't I tell you not to talk about it anymore?

May I say a word? Many
men like to get laid.

They are still not other-oriented.

Your Edmont cousin is at home too
in bras and garters.

but it is a father of three
and a truck driver. There you go.

That's nice to hear, but it's a done deal.

Now we have to go and see Grainger.

Is something wrong?
- The usual bullshit, it'll be fine.

Are you hiding something from us?

Where is the man?
- Oz. How about a hello?

Hello. Where is it?
- Not here, there's been a change of plans.

You should have called. Now I came in vain.

I thought that we had taken
a drink. Is it that bad?

Well, no. I'm sorry.

It's just been miserable
week. Martial law at the construction site.

Your boss is trying to chain you up,
and then there's your own son.

Another vodka on the rocks. Will you have one?

So there you go.

You look stylish.
- You don't look like a doll either.

I went to London to get a bit of a bump.
- We can eat.

The tie helped me get past S*ddam at the door.

We could eat in peace.

Or take a couple of sharp ones and go to bed.

Shall we order the pretzel sticks first?

Well, I'll be damned!

Oz?
- What?

I don't smoke, and you better not either.

Excuse me. I thought,
this was my room.

I'm just trying to save your life.
- Thank you, sweetheart.

Is bed-making part of the job description?
- No.

Initially, yes. Grainger took
even took me to Mauritius.

Then he got scared of the paparazzi,
who photographed my bare breasts.

I flew on the following plane
home. Sex ended there.

Why is the man running away?
- He doesn't want to give you bad news.

I want to see him. You know,
Do you know where he is?

You can get the information from me.
- I've been grounded for two hours!

He's with Lord Wharfdale in the Rag Forest.

How about the little cattle?

There they go. My joints are all swollen.

You just didn't know about this, did you?

Not your standard of living will not
by exporting old food.

I have always acted legally.
You can see the books.

To the tax authorities or anyone else.

Have you seen cocaine in your home?
- Only mine on weekends.

Do you use it too?
- There's no point in being pious about it.

You were the driver of the drug dealer.
- But I don't use the stuff!

I've been snooping around a bit since I met Tatiana.

but only sometimes at parties.

Didn't you ask where the substance came from?
- I assumed it was local.

I admit I've been a jerk.

I will do nothing until
I've talked to Tatiana.

Shall I tell you the rest? No.

Barry has enough
to digest for one evening.

Hi, Paulie.

Let's get a grandpa. The car is broken again.

I've got a few things for him.
- May I see?

It's a secret.
- Unfair.

Hi, Dad.

How are things going?
- We're picking up seniors by bus from Clemson.

No gamblers.
- I found this on the internet.

Where is my son?
- Who?

Teddy Platt. Used to work for you.
- What did he do?

Nothing legal, I have not
a toope. Usually the boy just slurs.

Now bought me a house and a coat.
- Takes care of his mother.

And always remember to call.
Had a birthday on Sunday.

Congratulations.
- f*ck off. What did you do to the boy?

I want to talk to him too.
Where did he call from last time?

From Middlesbrough! He said that
he thought he was working class.

but now it was already middle class.
Those were his last words.

Where did you come up with the subject of your story?

A man came to the newspaper to milk the money.

A lorry driver who was transporting people from the mainland.

A hundred pounds on top. You made up to 3,000 a trip.

Irena's crew paid the down payment in Greece.

and the rest, on arrival in the UK.

You were kind to organise
this and picked me up from the hotel.

How long have you been in the country?

One month. I came with the brothers.
- My brother and father were k*lled in the w*r.

Would you give me some peace at work?

So you lost relatives in the w*r?
- And your home.

And you paid for the trip here?
- All our money.

Where in the country did you come from?
- Liverpool.

A man wanted me to be a prost*tute.

Who are you?
- He's a journalist.

Get out of here! - Who are you?

You don't ask me! - It's my tape recorder, you can't!

That's unnecessary!
- Why are you talking to that, you stupid b*tch!

Stop that!

Quickly into the car.

I'm calling the police right now.
- Good. Go ahead.

Your men, Wharfdale?

No. Would you be an animal rights activist?

Oz! Do you hunt too?
- No. I'd rather doup greyhounds.

What are you doing here? It would be
could have been bad.

You promised an answer.
- We are still negotiating.

You're avoiding me. I have left
messages to voicemail and Sarah.

I want an answer right now.
Is the Malaysian trade kaputt?

Everything points to it.

Is it or not?
- Yes!

You f*cked us. You dragged us in
and left us to our own devices.

Point elsewhere. It's loaded.
- Oh, it is?

Is everything OK there?

Shut up, jerk!

Who brought the press here?
- I don't know what you're talking about.

Your as*h*le friend knows.
The problem needs to be solved.

Otherwise the workers will leave.
- We have a contract.

f*ck it. This goes over.

Get the Brits to drink
tea and scratch their ba*ls.

They cost three times as much!

Have you spoken to the press?
- I didn't invite the girl here.

Oh, a girl? Why did you take
to the workmen's quarters?

He would have found it anyway.

We should have organised
decent housing.

It's Oz. Invited us to
to the pub at 11pm.

What is it now?
- I don't know. I think we need a drink.

If the bridge is declared
a protected site and must be stacked!

I can't put it better than that.
The bridge deal went wrong.

It can't be!

From the beginning it was supposed to be.

Our payday so. To the feed
gone, and we're screwed.

Is everything gone?No.

Grainger suggested that
steel would be exported to Poland.

Melting would become cheaper.

You just have to look at scrap metal prices.

How much can you get for it on free
on the open market, if I may ask?

It varies. Best for
in the best case, that tonnage...

would generate around £80,000.
Minus transport costs to Gdansk.

They cost maybe 20,000.

You can't even get to your own.

Unbelievable! This was going to change everything.

After all, we are only losing more.
- It's no use getting nervous.

Easy to say when you're not
put any of yours on the line!

I guessed that somewhere
at some point I'm going to hear that.

Calm down. We wanted to
you to come with us, Den.

And let's do it again.
- Absolutely.

You won't stop me from smoking here, Oz.

We tried too hard. We thought,
that we'd be the boss.

I got you on board. It was my idea.

A great vision for the future!

You can split my share.
- No, no.

Or I can jump off the bridge.

We knew what we were doing.
There are risks in business.

At least you'll be fine.
- Don't be so sure, son.

You may suddenly find that
the company is built on sand.

In your case, on snow.

Our friend Yorgo guided me
here. You're the bridge demolishers, aren't you?

Do you want to buy it? Get it at a great price.

I'm looking for someone you know.
A sword named Moxey.

Moxey?

What do you think of him?
- It's a private matter. He used to work for me.

We had one too, but it's gone.

Where to?
- Where to?

Didn't it go abroad?
Africa or something.

I put the word around.
I'll pay you a big reward for the information.

That money would come in handy.

If you get tricky,
I'll make a hat out of your a*s.

That would suit you.

How could we throw away all the
wasted at this stage of life.

I hate that "stage of life".
- It's true.

We have three children,
one of them is very small.

And the company is not doing well either.
- We tried to get out of trouble.

You blame me for inciting you.

I blame myself for believing you.
- That's comforting.

I'm not blaming anyone.
I guess Murphy's Law applies.

At the end of the rainbow there is no
there is no lucky charm and no golden land.

Do you always have to shout?
- We're just having a conversation.

It's getting to my head. From
there's a message, someone called Nicki.

He was sorry about what had happened,
but wanted to talk.

It's not what you think.
- How do you know what I think?

You think I'm looking
You're just looking?

Nicki is a journalist who makes
a story about undeclared work.

I shouldn't have spoken to him.
The boys are pissed off.

More cause for concern.

We will be fine.
The world will not fall apart.

No, but it's on a log.

A shitty day.

It's a match for when
Newcastle lost the cup final.

Perhaps here is
a small glimmer of hope.

When the bridge trade became suspicious,
I put an ad on the internet.

What kind?
- "Let's sell the bridge".

"Let's sell the bridge"? - Sounds like
sounds crazy, but I got an answer.

From whom?
- Someone who represents the rest of Joe.

They are interested. In the morning, I'll go to the office...

and I send from the bridge
dimensions, pictures and more.

What is the address, "crazy. Com"?

No, a reserve
in Arizona. The guy's an Indian.

Let me get this straight.

An Indian named Joe
from the Arizona reservation...

wants to buy a transport bridge.
Has it gone a bit pear-shaped?

It says here.
That Joe represents the whole nation.

I wouldn't if I were you
would talk to the boys about this.

Nev?

Neville

You told Moxey about them
Yeah?

There were papers included,
evidence against the man.

The one who was there today.
- Startup. What are you talking about?

Is not the information
would be of interest to a journalist?

You could get rid of both.

I couldn't get in. Where's Oz?

He said he was leaving early.

Holy sh*t.
- Are you okay?

I almost died from the exhaust fumes.
- Don't complain. Where is it?

Over there.
- Let's go then.

Good boy, Moxey.

It's your son's last night.

Oz.
- What?

The final performance.
Let's all go and see.

Right, b*mb?

I could do with a little pick-me-up.
The boy's performance is good.

If you want to watch h*m*
in their skirts. Is the tea ready?

We want you to postpone
your case until the job is done.

No way. Trafficking in human beings


You can't buy me.

You get a man,
who runs the whole infernal treatment.

Names, numbers, bribes.

Where people were brought
and where they were sent

What is the man's name?
- Mickey Startup.

It's not something you should do alone.
The man is a big pig.

You could pass the information to the police
and still get exclusivity.

That would be the stuff of a book.

Sounds good.

You must not tell us where you got the information.

I always protect my sources. - I'm not
never been a source before.

I think Paris has taken its toll.

A bit of shopper's therapy?
- Barry!

Kadi said you would stay
I wanted to talk to you.

Do you know where this comes from?
- Why?

Nothing like a local pub
long-haired dealer.

It originated in Russia.
Kadi brings it here in cars.

I saw it with my own eyes. Stalked
with a couple of friends in the warehouse.

Friends too? If we have to
in jail, we lose everything.

The boy is not a tattletale.

I also promised to be
not to tell until I see you.

I think you knew about this too.

Kadi is my brother. He
likes the sweet life.

Not all of them?
- Not so sweet!

I no longer feel
either of you.

Don't be silly. What are you
were before you met us?

Just a dolt and a jerk.

Thanks to me you look and
smell good. Your hair is neat.

You have beautiful clothes.

I bought you a Versace belt.

I could buy it
with honest money.

How rich should you be?

You can't be too rich.

Glad you could make it.
- I thought I'd take another look.

Last time I was so shocked,
I didn't realize anything.

The boy is good.
- Excellent.

Does Rod know you're here?
- No.

Are you going to see him?
- I guess not.

There's always a fuss in the changing room.

At least you made it this far.

You are becoming
regular customers. - What do you mean?

It's never too late to find
Don't push me.

Have I come at a bad time?
- Depends on why you came.

To apologise.

Come in.

I was just stunned.

I don't have
anything against gays.

I've just been taught that
that it's bad to kick a*s.

That was also a bad thing to say.
Damn. Sorry again.

You are what you are, and I don't have
I have no right to get angry about it.

Better if I was Sting or
Alan Shearer. - Now you're talking.

God is laughing,
when man plans.

My plans are to
all gone down the toilet.

Even from you?
- The bridge too.

I've let my friends down.
That's what really pisses me off.

I'm sorry.
I'm the one who should be sorry.

If you make a habit of this, I'll get
you a backstage pass.

Could I hang out at a g*y club...

"Access to all areas" - A sign on the chest?

Look at those!
Did the boys go to the f*g club?

It used to be a proper watering hole,
now you get to wade through these things.

Leave it, Dad.
You hear that all the time.

That's a make-up job too!

Nice left hook!

Not bad for a h*m*, eh?

You have made your father proud today.

I received an offer
Grainger law firm.

The price of scrap metal fluctuates,
as do the costs of transporting gold.

He's offering a lump sum.
The letter contains a cheque.

How much?
