You don't just drop off a g*n
at a police station and go home.

You say you just found it,
you were just handing it in.

We've got two people in hospital,
son, fighting for their lives.

Going to tell us your name, now?

Suspect still unwilling
to confirm his name.

You're been held
for possession of a firearm,

which is a very serious offence.

But what concerns me even more,
right now, is this.

GSR.

Do you know what that stands for?

g*nsh*t residue.

Tiny particles that are scattered
when a g*n's been fired.

Which we found
on your clothing.

You were there last night when
this w*apon was used, weren't you?

Stop writing, please.

I said, stop writing.

Pens down, papers folded.

We'll be collecting them
in a minute. Thank you.

Oh, Rochelle,
which one did you do? B2.

How did it go? I don't know.

It wasn't clear
if they wanted you to refer

just to the UK or internationally.
No, it isn't clear.

So, I complained about the question.
Good for you.

So, when are you off? Saturday.

Well, I'd start with the Old Town,
the Market Square,

the Groeninge Museum, that's a must.

Belfry.

Canal.

Oh, there's a really nice
waffle stand down by the cathedral.

Concertgebouw.
That's where the concert is.

Yeah, and what's the programme?
Faure Requiem.

You did put that on
your personal statement, didn't you?

The college would have
lapped that up.

You know, I remember
the first time we went in here,

they were playing...

'The funeral of
twenty-year-old Daniel Johnson

'was held earlier this afternoon
amid rising tension in East London.

'Anna Foster has been following
this story, she joins us now.

'First, remind us of
the background, Anna.

'Well, Peter, this all began
in tragedy last week, of course,

'when 20 year-old
Daniel Johnson,

'was chased by a group of youths
and stabbed to death,

'just yards from the primary school
he attended as a child.

'Today's...'

'expected to make
a formal statement later today,

'but there is speculation
that Mr Johnson may have been

'the innocent victim of a turf w*r
between local drug dealers

'and a rival g*ng
of Somalian youths,

'who were seen in the area
on the night of the att*ck.

'Now, community leaders have been
appealing for calm,

'since news emerged
that police have made arrests

'on the nearby Marlowe Estate,

'which has a large number
of Somali residents.'

'Thank you, Anna.

'Later in the programme,
I will speak to Nick Herbert,

'the minister responsible
for policing and criminal justice...'

Going to Oxford, Chelle?
Well, it depends on the exams.

What you got to get, Chelle?
Three A stars.

Ah, you'll be all right, won't you,
Chelle? You'll walk it.

Is Abigail going to Oxford?
I don't know.

Excuse me!
I think you dropped something.

There's a bin just there. Hello?
Chelle, man's telling you off.

Look, I'm just asking you politely.

Sorry, what?

How hard is it to put it in a bin?

Put what? That.

The bin couldn't be nearer.
So, you do it then, mister. Eh?

You got a problem with that, Nik?
No.

You got a problem, Chelle?
Not really.

Look, there's a man,
comes from Hungary, every day,

with his cart and broom, he makes
the place spotless. Whatever.

By the time you girls have come out,
it's all messy again.

Maybe if it wasn't for us, he
wouldn't even have a job, would he?

You know what, you're selfish!

And get a life, man,
you f*cking loser.

To top it all, she was abusive,
the ringleader, I suppose.

She called me stuff, er, names.

Well, strictly speaking,

our jurisdiction stops
at the school gates,

but we take
any antisocial behaviour seriously.

That's her, I think.

Rochelle Gooding.

OK, I'll have a word with her.

'Yeah, yeah, this is RIP FM,
uncensored pirate radio.

'DJ Spinkin tellin' it like it is.

'A lot of tears
on the Lakemead today.

'Nuff love for my fallen soldier.
Shout out the LMT.

'This one's for Danny Johnson,
you know what you got to do.'

There's no way you need to worry
about yours. No, Abby, seriously,

I could have written more,
I must have missed something.

Now, you're obsessing

It's a key point, that's five marks,

it could be the difference
between a whole grade.

Heads Oxford. Tails Belfast. Belfast?

Yeah, I put it as my second. Eew.

No, I went with my mum last year.
It's all right, not what you think.

Far enough from this place,
I suppose.

Got to be a plus.

They had a horse and carriage.

You see it?

All these black Mercedes
down Clapton Road.

Kind of creepy.

Oh, Christ. Here they come.

Men In Black.
Men at Primark, more like.

"We're going in tonight, yeah.

"Meeting down Firefly
and going after them, yeah.

"One for Danny, yeah."

So, what's happening? They're going
out to get revenge for Danny?

That's what I heard.

They're going to go look
for Somalis, down at the Marlowe.

He wanted nothing to do with them.
PHONE RINGS

Number withheld.
Ain't you going to answer it?

Hello? 'Hello, Rochelle?
It's Mr Patel at the school.'

Mr Patel? What's he want?

'There's something I need to talk
to you about.

'I'd rather not do it
over the phone.

'Any chance you could
come into my office?'

Now? 'Yes, now, if you don't mind.'

That was some turn out yesterday,
wasn't it?

Sorry, I keep thinking
you're Lakemead.

Kid called Danny Johnson
got stabbed last week

by a g*ng of Somalis.

I can't remember how many times,
it's in the report somewhere.

He wasn't even in a g*ng.

Just looked at a girl.

In Nando's.

For a split second.

And now, he'll never know
if he passed his exams.

Or got that trial at QPR. Orient.

Oh, yeah.

Thank you.

You sure you're not
a Lakemead boy? No.

No, nothing to be ashamed of.

I never said I was Lakemead.
It's good cos I think you saw
what happened.

And I think you might know
why these two people got att*cked.

But if you don't, I bet you know
someone else on Lakemead who does.

Any ideas?

So, who was it?

This is a serious allegation.

One of the girls was very abusive.

I've just got back
from Danny's funeral.

Got the Gazette phoning me
in half an hour.

Was it Nikki Adams?

Dakota Kelly?

You had nothing to do with it? No.

Well. Yes or no?

I may have said something. What?

Something about litter
being good for creating jobs.

It was meant to be a joke.
Not very funny.

No.

I'll have to suspend all of you.

I'm really sorry, but I've got to do
this across the board,

I've got to be seen to be fair.

One-day suspension, Rochelle.
Monday.

I-I'm not here on Monday.

I've got the choir trip
this weekend and then, I'm finished.

Right, then it will have to be
the choir trip.

No! No, please!
It's a real pity, cos you know,

you're one of the school's few
representatives No! That's not fair!

Look, I can't lay down one law
for the others and one for you.

Rochelle.

Just park this to one side
for the minute.

The important thing is that
you focus on your exams tomorrow.

We're counting on you
for the good news.

I've been suspended.

'Oh, here we go again.'
Look, will you let me finish?

'Kung Fu Panda, yeah,
Kung Fu Panda.'

What?

'Screen seven. Can I have
your ticket, please?' Hello?

'I said, don't call me at work.'
Listen, I can't come.

'Oh, you do my head in. Oh, my God,
how long have we been waiting?

'This was our one chance.'

They won't let me come.
'You mean, you don't want to come.'

Can I help?
You're the man, aren't you?

Sorry? You phoned
the school this afternoon.

You live at Sunny Park Road.

Oh, look, all I was doing...
Well, thanks.

What? I got suspended.

Ah! Chelle!

Yo, Chelle! What's going on?

'And the Chancellor is
expected to privatise...' I'm sorry.

I've got to... I'm a bit...
'parts of Northern Rock.'

'Retail operations from
their investment arms...'

Who is he? Some guy.

Why weren't you at the funeral?
Had an exam.

Yeah, we all did.
Missing a poxy exam isn't important.

Look, they're all meeting up at
Mrs J's now, so you know you've...

Yeah, I know.

He just phoned.

He says I can't go on the trip.

I don't need this, not today.
Have you got a Plus Card? No.

All I said was... Why get involved?
Why get sucked in? Cash back?

No, thanks.

Can you just talk
to Miss Preston about the trip?

Is that what you're worried about?

Could you do this somewhere else?
We're going to blow this.

I am not going to blow it.
Well, how did it go, today?

Oh, God.

I think it was all right.
Well, what does "huh" mean?

It's me that's trying
to get into Oxford.

I'm going to see my mum today...

Sorry, could you have this
conversation some other time?

Rochelle! Carol!

Rochelle.

OK, Rochelle... Carol!
..I want you to go home.

I want you to get your head down,
OK? Promise me?

There's no time for dog walking
tonight, so, don't forget,

cancel the Lerners.
Carol, you've got customers. OK.

All right, Fitz?

I need the toilet,
but Dil told me to stand here.

Well, where are the others? Funeral.

Go on. I'm sure Danny wouldn't mind.

LMT, do or die.

I'm going to snap his forehead
so hard.

I'm going to knock out
this guy's butt, I swear.

This place is turning into Somalia,
we've got to close the gates.

Some plague. Keep your voices down.
What is this, man?

Eurgh, this is goat's cheese.

Why didn't you tell me?
I don't want it.

I'm definitely getting
kicked out now.

Over a packet of crisps as well.
Do you know what I mean? Yeah.

But who called you, though?
Mr Patel? Yeah, just now.

Got to go into his office tomorrow
with Dak and Maddie.

Yeah, but how'd he know
it was you?

Well, I think I got an idea.

Excuse me, I've got to see someone.

What have you said? Sorry?

To Mr Patel.

What you do that for?

I just got a call saying
I got to come and see him tomorrow.

He said, "Was it Nikki Addams
or Dakota Kelly?"

And you said?
I didn't say anything. Yeah, exactly

So, why weren't you at the funeral,
Chelle? Had an exam, didn't she?

What's going on? Nothing.
Didn't look like nothing.

Just chatting.

Didn't look like just chatting.
We're just talking about stuff.

Will you excuse us a moment?

You know you didn't have to do that.
Look, I just did.

Thanks for coming, Jake.

Be back in a minute, yeah.

How's she doing?

Said she got your note.
Said it made her cry.

No, in a good way.

Oh, by the way...

if Mum asks
or work phones tonight,

you don't know where I am.

Understand?

Jake Gooding. Was he there?

You know Jake.

Come on,
everyone on Lakemead knows Jake.

I never said I
that I lived on Lakemead.

Jake was a friend
of Danny's, right?

I don't know.

Best mates, in fact, I heard.

Known each other
since primary school.

You got mates?

You got a best mate?

What's his name?

K...

Sorry? I didn't quite catch that.

Jake hangs with the LMT. That right?

LMT, Lakemead Thugs.

No, hang on, T'ugs.

T apostrophe, isn't it?
Never quite got that. No.

Anyway, course, when you're young,

being in a g*ng looks good,
doesn't it?

I mean, they've got
the things you want.

They do the things you want to do.

Especially if your mum and dad
aren't around.

They're there for you, yeah?

You fall in. Easy.

But this is how it ends up.

Aggravated burglary.

Wounding with intent
to cause grievous bodily harm.

Arson.

Possession of a Class A drug
with intent to supply.

Vehicle-taking resulting in death.

Ring any bells?

Did one of these men fire
that w*apon?

Just bung it in,
it'll be all right.

Look at this mess.
I said I'd clear it up, yeah?

You're meant to be at Granny's. sh*t,
no, don't want to get lung cancer.

It's Alf's birthday. Move.

Coming, Chelle?
We're down in the yard.

Ky's done Thai marinade.

She won't come.

When do I get the bathroom back?

Oh, yeah, go get 'em, will you, Alf?

Where the hell did you
even get them, anyway?

Market. They've got a t*nk.

Alf tips over the prawns, I nick 'em
while they're not looking.

So, you stole them?
They're Somalis. What?

They don't count. That right, Alf?
Yeah. Excuse me?

Oli said that Danny got k*lled
by their BO before he got stabbed.

They go round in pyjamas, you seen?

You don't even know where Somalia is,
do you? Do. Don't. Do too.

Sure you don't want to come,
Chelle? Going to put out speakers.

You can bring your own music.

Leave it, she's in bed
by half nine, anyway.

Yo, babes

Yo, man, you're beautiful.
Excuse me. Yo, babes.

What are you doing?
What's the matter with you?

What?

"I get the message,
hope you got into Oxford. Goodbye."

Yeah? Why be so snarky? Snarky?

Yeah, snarky. Wasn't being snarky.

As if you didn't believe me,
if I was making it up.

Wait here, I'm getting the keys.

Can't be seen chatting
to Lakemead girls round here.

Dad's car. We'll talk in there.

Look, I got caught up
with some girls after school

and there was a ruck with some
man about litter. He complained,

the head's clamping down, all four
of us get a blanket suspension, OK?

You still don't believe me.
I don't know what to believe.

What? I mean, there's always
something, isn't there?

If you don't want this...
Then, why would I come here?

Tonight of all nights.
I must be mental.

What's going on tonight?

Them lot on the estate,
they're planning something.

Planning what? I don't know.

Could just be rumours,
but they're getting all jumpy.

It was Danny's funeral today.
Yeah, I saw all the cars.

Abdi. Get down.

A crew went over
to Lakemead last week.

Feds raided one of their flats
last night and arrested someone.

Abdi's part of the crew.
You know him?

Abdi Haroon.

I used to hang about with him
in year eight.

He had a falcon's nest
on his balcony.

We used to feed the chicks.

Anyways, let's get out of here.

What, drive? Yeah. In this? Yeah.

What about your dad? He's at mosque.

You can't just take his car,
can you?

He's not going to find out, is he?
Now, jump in the back.

What?

Just jump in the back.

So, hang on, why am I in the back?
Look like you're a fare.

Is this his cab? Look, I'm trying
to concentrate. Hello?

Well, I mean, are you insured?

Er, not sure.

What do you mean, you're not sure?

I've got a provisional,
but it don't say.

So, you haven't passed your test?

Stop the car.

Stop the car. I don't think so.

And keep down. They're everywhere,
these Somalis.

OK, just take me over Bethnal Road
and pull up somewhere.

I know how to drive,
I watched my dad.

Oh, that's all right, then.

See, you just got to get
a feel for it.

Come on,
I want to show you the photos.

Whoa. Speed bump.

All right, I'll give you one hour,

but not a second more
and I'm timing it. Sweet.

It'll be OK here.

Oh, no.

What now?

It's Thursday.

I forgot. Forgot what?

The Lerners. I walk their dog.

Why are you looking at me like that?
Just cancel. No, I can't

Course you can.

No, no, wait a minute,
this could work.

He lives just round
the corner, off the canal.

All I do is take him to Abbott Park.
I hate dogs.

It's 20 quid an hour.

Come on, we're wasting time.

What?

You're a project, you are.

That's the one.

Jeez. Is that where he lives?
Yeah. So, how do you know him?

His son goes round with Ky.

Just be a sec.

I'm so sorry I'm late.

Rochelle? I thought you weren't
coming, your mum phoned. Come in.

She said you've got
an exam tomorrow. I know, but..

You don't have to do this, you know.
Shouldn't you be at home revising?

A couple of hours isn't going
to make much difference, is it?

I can't find it. You haven't
even bloody looked for it.

Lost his Oyster card again. Hi. Hi.

It'd do me good to get out
and have a break.

Hear that, Tam? You're in luck.

I don't need it tonight, anyway.

Where are you going? Concert club.
Isn't Kyle coming over?

Yeah, after.

So, what have you got tomorrow?
English. Always define your terms.

If they ask you to discuss Hamlet
you say,

"It depends
what you mean by Hamlet."

No, they're lucky to have you.

Oh, come on. I know, I know, but...

It's 20 quid an hour, I know.

Tell it not to do that.

You're overreacting. I'm not.
You are.

There you go.


you're a rip off.

Right, we've got 50 minutes.

Huh? I said we had an hour.
We've got 50 minutes left.

Oh, no, one hour don't start now.

What? That hour didn't include
the dog thing.

No, no, no, look... An hour
didn't include the dog thing.


in one hour precisely.

Customer got to get three A stars.

Right, look at these.

No, no, no. Delete, delete,
delete, delete. Oh.

I like that one.

'274?'

'274?

'Hassan, 274? Are you there?

'Hello? Hassan, is that you?'

Yes? 'Where are you? I thought
you were going to mosque.'

No, I'm late.
Fare was late. Just drop off now.

'OK, go to 27 Upton Road, E9.'

No, I'm finished.

'Hassan, you listen to me,
you help me,

'or you come into office
and we talk big problem.'

Dad's going to get in trouble
for this.

I got to.

OK. Where is he going?

Upton Road to Sunny Park Road.
He say Sunny Park Road?

That's near you? Yeah.

So, I'll drop you back there.
All right.

Wait, wait, no, no, no.

We can't, we can't go down Lakemead,
someone'll see us.

It's a minicab. Got people in
the back. Who's going to look?

What are we going to say about me?

You're my sister.

Your sister?

You got a problem with that?

No. No problem.

What?

You forget something?

Oh, yeah. No, get back, get back.

He wasn't in. So, what did you do?

Tied him to the doorknob.

I wouldn't let you walk my dog.

Oh, you gotta hear this.

So, what do you think? What?

Oh, yeah, it's OK. Just OK?

Well. You don't like it?

I didn't say I didn't like it.
Just OK.

I mean, I wouldn't rush out
and get it myself.

Well, have it on if you want it.
No, it's OK.

Got to be honest.

Yeah.

So, what's wrong with it, then?

There's nothing wrong with it,
it's just personal taste, isn't it?

I mean, it's rhythmic,
but the harmonics are lame.

There's not a single chord or change
that's surprising or pleasing,

but that's just Arab music,
stuck in that atonal time warp.

Don't know if it's your hardwiring
or environment.

I'm not Arab. I didn't mean...
We're not Arab.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

Should be on the left soon.

What? You're on empty.

No, it's just off empty.
Look, I'm concentrating.

There it is.

You a cab?

For Sunny Park Road.
Dawn! Cab's here!

Who's that? My sister.

She needed a lift.
She's got A-Levels tomorrow.

Do you mind? Have we got a choice?

Can't believe you didn't like
that song. Yeah, OK. Come on.

You got the champagne?
Yeah, I've got the champagne.

Kenny? Yeah? Who's that?

That's his sister. Oh.

Have you changed again?
I felt dressy. Oh.

I don't know
why you bother asking me.

Cos I didn't know
if we were going to be in or out.

I told you, he's doing a barbecue.

That's it.

What? Three-point turn.

I wish you'd lighten up.
I'm missing The Apprentice.

Oh, get it on catch up.

There's a right coming up.

It's the final.

Just in a bit.

Oh. Stop. God help us.

Oi! It was left back...

Sorry, left.

Listen. Clapton Road, Borough Park,
Tennyson, down Lakemead,

left onto Bishopsdene,
Sunny Park Road. Bosh.

You got it? All right. Yeah?

It was right on the page break, you
try and read it. For crying out loud.

What now? Tell him to come out
of fifth, someone.

This car could do with a clean.
Oh, here we go. Pregnant lady.

I'm just saying.
Can you smell something?

Bishopsdene's next on the left.
No, no, don't go down Bishopsdene.

Why not? The LMT's club's there,
they'll all be there.

So, where do I go?
I dunno, just take the one after.

Dog. Do you smell dog? Yeah.
Yeah, you've missed a turning again.

I know a short cut.

This is a dead end, isn't it?
Stop the car.

Pull over. Please, Kenny.
Stop the car.

Are you a wind-up?

I thought... Is this a wind-up?
I'm sorry, I..

Come on, Dawn, let's go.
It's just round the corner.

No, I got heels.

How old are you? 21.



Kenny, we're half an hour late.

I want to speak to your governor.
What? I want to speak to
your controller.

Can we not have an argument
in the road?

Have you even got a licence?

Lakemead's got roadworks.

I meant Massey, it's the next one.

Then, the left again,
into Sunny Park Road.

I know it, I swear.

And he won't charge.
Yeah. On the house.

Oh, you don't half pick 'em. Hey?

Got any idea how many numbers
were in that drawer?

Oh, give it a rest.

Give it a rest. You give it a rest.

You know, this is to do with her.
Bet ya. What? The girl.

Now I come to think of it, that
condom could have been her too.

How'd you figure that out?
Got a friend to do it. Out of spite.

We have booked a car back.

Yeah? There's a fiver, on condition
that you and your sister

swear on your families' lives
to stay away.

OK? Yeah?

Yeah?

Got the champagne? Yeah, I've got
the champagne. Stop asking me that.

I'm not sure about this dress now.
Oh, God, give me strength.

Sister, my arse.

Hurry up.

Come on, this is embarrassing.

'274, you drop Sunny Park?'

Yeah. Can I go home now?
'Yeah, finish. Go home.'

You got the champagne?

So, you all right to get
back home from here, now?

Hour's not up yet, is it?

Is that Chelle? Eh? In the car.

What the...?

Who's she with? Minicab, innit?

You sure this is OK? Lakemead's
just there, you know? Trust me.

Turn left here.

And right in here.

Don't worry.
No-one knows about this place.

I think we'll be all right here.

What's this? Give it. No, wait.

One double without bath.
Sunday 17th June.



But we're staying at the hostel.

Saturday.

But Sunday, we don't have
to be at the coach till six.

So, what do we need a room for?
We've got the whole day free.

Well, I might want to go
to the Groeninge museum.

Someone's jumped a light.

All of this, such a mission.

This was supposed to be our chance.

What? You don't get it, do you?

Come September, October, whenever
it is, you go off to college.

Yeah? That's it.

What? You'll be gone.

What are you talking about?

I mean, first few weekends,
yeah, I'll come up,

you'll come down, and then...

This summer.

It's all we got.
This was our chance.

Y-You really think
that's going to happen?

That's what happens, doesn't it?

Sorry.

These chairs go back, you know.

Wait.

D-did you bring...?
I thought you were...

No. Do you want me to stop?

No, just be careful.
We better stop. No.

I'll be careful, promise.

I didn't know. I mean,
you never said you were...

What?

I'm sorry.

It's OK.

Do you want to stop?

Maybe just for...

It's OK.

Just a sec.

Yeah.

You don't have to look.

Sorry.

Just threw me off.

D-Do you want me to...?

That OK?

Aah. It's burning. What?

It stings. Stings? Yeah, it stings.

I don't know what...

What?

Chillies. Chillies? Red chillies.

I don't care what chillies.

Kyle was cooking,
I was cleaning up, I'm sorry.

It's burning.

Check if there's any wipes in there.

Ah.

Chillies. I said I'm sorry.

It's empty.

What are you doing? Come on.

Did you hear?

Come on!

I'd better go.

Nah, get in the car,
I'll take you back.

Why are you slowing down?
Ahh, it's the petrol.

I said it was on...

No, you can't stop here.
The Firefly is just over there.

Ah. That's all...

That's them, that's the LMT.

What?

What? That's Jake.

That's your brother?

I don't understand why he's there.

Easy, bruv. Listen, Jake...

Take it for a joke. All the hype.

Look at that girl.

Oh, my days.

Go and help her push
the car, bruv.

Yeah, the chick by the red car.
Go help her push it, bruv.

And get her number for me.

Man, just go, man. Why do you
need me as well? Shut up, man.

Christ's sake.

You OK? Out of petrol.

Chelle?

Is that Chelle?

Hi.

Do you want a push?

OK.

Nah, nah, nah, man. Let me.

Quit with your arguing.

Come on, push, man.

Just push this thing.

Chelle, what you got in there?

Left. Yeah, I heard you the first
time, man.

Thanks, thanks.

Didn't know you could drive.

I just passed.

Helps if you put gas in it.

Yeah. What am I like?

See you later, Chelle.
See you, babes.

What Rochelle? My sister?

Yeah, man. But she don't drive.

She told me she did.

So, whose car was it?

Huh? I don't know.

Are you OK?

No. You? I'm shaking.

Handbrake was on. Oh.

Can you get back OK from here?
Yeah, I'm OK.

When's your mum come back? 11.
I'm OK.

Apart from working out
what I tell Jake.

What about your dad?
Soon find out, I guess.

Phone me Sunday. Sunday?
When you get back.

I'm not going. Go.
I'm not going without you.

Yes, you are and you're going
to have a great time. No.

You're going to film the concert,

you're going to get
a poster of Bosch's Last Judgement

from the museum shop for me,

a photo of the cafe
where Colin Farrell met that dwarf,

and a mixed box
from Chocolate House,

but no marzipan, I hate marzipan.

You got that?

Sunday.

This was the other victim
of last night's att*ck.

Somali boy, right?

What's he doing on Lakemead?

I mean, he was asking for it,
wasn't he?

After what they did to Danny.

See, I think this was
a revenge att*ck by the LMT.

They're Lakemead boys, aren't they?

I can't see them cos
they've all got their faces covered.

So...

Somali boy...

take a wrong turn, did he?

Sat nav not working?

What was he doing on Lakemead?

Cos it's a mystery to me.

And to his dad,
who's at his bedside, right now.

He was never part of all this.

Shy boy, his dad says.

Not into dr*gs,
just kept his head down.

Had a part-time job
at the multiplex.

Never looked for trouble,
his dad said.

So, how did the LMT get hold of him?

I really think we should stop it
here for a bit.

Hospital says,
he's still unconscious.

So, I'll ask you again.

What was he doing on Lakemead at
that time of night, all on his own?

Excuse me. Erm, I'm looking
for a girl called Rochelle.

Rochelle Gooding?

Faraday. 106.
It's that one, over there.

Right, thank you.

Rochelle!

Rochelle!

Get back here, bruv!

Fight!

It was you!

I'm sure!

What's going on?

All right. Calm down!

Did you hear it? Yeah.
g*nsh*t, wasn't it?

Where you going? It was him! Who?

Rochelle!

'Kids, got to love 'em,
but, if I had my way,

'when they're born,
they'd all come out aged 20.

'Save a lot of aggro.

'This growing up bit
is so draining.

'Failing that, GPS.

'Get them micro-chipped as soon as
they're whipped out,

'so you can track them
on your laptop, night and day.

'Mind you, be a bit wasted
on Rochelle, I always thought.

'You tend to know where she is.
Keeps her head down.

'Doesn't want to get dragged under.'

Mum. Please, please, pick up.

'She's there. She's just
on the other side of that wall.

'She's safe.

'Then, one night, you take your eye
off the ball, don't you?

'And you don't find out who
they really are till it's too late.

'But maybe it was for the best
that I didn't know.

'Then, I might never have gone
and done what I did.

'I had plans of my own, you see.

'This was going to be my night.

'My chance to get my life back.

'And this time,
I wasn't going to bottle out.'
