01x06 - I'm Still Standing

[bunniefuu]

The following programme contains
strong language and violent scenes.

f*cking hell... They
won't see me coming.

That'll do.

And trust me, one by
one, they will all go.

What about Gene?

He'll be the last to go.

We were hoping that we
pay you on the back end.

Very dangerous way
to do business.

Hashish.

I like you, Gene...

But you've got some ba*ls
asking for half a ton of hashish

on credit. You can trust us.

You get one chance to impress
- Tariq will supervise.

He's got a back
like pork crackling.

Pig's back.

The Mayor's in Morocco too.

I need to get in front of him
about our planning permission.

We'll get it back.

Top of the pile again.

That's why I'm so
proud of you, Alb,

for letting our boys
spread their wings.

Dad got to the Moroccans
before I even met them.

Made a bigger deal.

If this goes wrong
then we're dead.

Just keep schtum, yeah.

Is your brother, Gene coming?

- Gene?
- Yes. No, he's not invited.

Mum, somethings happened,
you need to come.

What?

I'm sorry. Is he breathing?

I'll f*cking k*ll you.

Now I lay me down to sleep, I
pray the lord my soul to keep...

If I should die before I wake,
I pray the lord my soul to take.

Now I lay me down to sleep I
pray the lord my soul to keep...

If I should die before I wake I
pray the lord my soul to take.

Now I lay me down to sleep I
pray the lord my soul to keep...

If I should die before I wake...

I pray the lord my soul to take.

It's OK.

f*cking Jesus...

A couple of fireworks,
I said. f*ck sake...

Where'd'you get 'em?
I'll leather the cowson!

Ssshhh!

That's our boy out there,
have some f*cking respect!

He's halfway back
to Bermondsey mum.

Leave it Leonard!

It's not gonna bring
him back, is it girl?!

Eddie's taken it bad.

Yeah... Yeah, it's
thrown us all, hasn't it?

Poor kid must think we're
the worst family on earth.

Thank you.

For caring about us.

Both of us.

I'm so sorry for
your loss, Leonard.

I'm very sorry.

I'm sweet... Where were we?

Well, if you can deliver
something attractive and lucrative

for my coast, and you
have the Gitanos' backing,

then I'm prepared
to support you.

But I can't go against the
wider Alabasas community -

you need their vote,
or it won't work.

Our development would
mean jobs, cafes, shops -

we're investing in their future.

Locals have seen other people
swindled out of their homes.

Ruthless developers like your uncle
Tony. People have long memories.

You must convince them.

I suggest an opening evening at
the town hall to introduce you

to the community.

So you can meet them in person.

Just speak to them.
As a neighbour.

As a parent...

How about tomorrow night?

Sooner the better,
right? Whatever you say.

Nice Bentley by the way.

It's a roller actually.

I know the timing couldn't
be worse for this deal...

But tomorrow morning
crack of dawn,

there'll be a boatload of puff
landing on our beach here.

Which we'll need to repack and get
on the road as soon as it gets dark.

After that it's ten hours
to the French border,

then it's a clear
run to Holland,

where we bust up our
puff from the Dutch.

Our pals in Bermondsey
will take it from there.

This is the big league now.

Gotta think big.
Bigger than oranges.

Get this right and
the Lords are back.

Yeah, yeah I'll
make you right Dad.

And look, I'm tight
with the Gitanos,

so I'll make sure
there's bodies there.

Lola's already
sending who she can.

So she f*cking should,
the slice she's on.

What about us girls?

It's gotta look right if
the police come knocking.

We're a house in
mourning, remember?

We're hardly likely to forget.

Running puff, with my
Anthony still f*cking warm-

If I've gotta be OK
with it, then so do you.

Yeah, there's a snag, though.

This erm, mayor wants me at a town
hall meeting to grease the locals.

Tomorrow night, same time
as we are moving the puff.

Me and Carly, all smiles.

Shouldn't Gene be there?

Nah, Len'll do it. People like
someone you can relate to.

Yeah. Crack on Len. You
know what you're doing.

Dad, if Len's not
going to be there,

I should drive the
truck with the puff in.

Let's just keep it
simple shall we.

Gene's gonna f*cking side
door me if I don't do that.

I'm not side dooring
you. You are.

So you'll keep down the coast.

Yeah, it's the route the
Dutch have always used.

If that truck doesn't make
it to Holland, we're dead.

All of us.

Do you know what serendipity is?

It's how I feel
about you being here.

It's meant to be.

You're such a lovely
boy, such a support.

I dunno what I'd have
done these past few days.

I swear to God Eddie,
we're not bad people.

I'm sorry about what happened.

All this when you've
only just got settled.

Moved from pillar to
post your whole life.

And you better hope
you like your family,

cause they're all you had.

I hated mine.

The grubby f*ck.

So I made my own. Mmm?

One with a solid mum and dad who'd
k*ll for their kids if they had to.

I hardly remember my dad.

C'mere boy.

I won't let anything
happen to you, so help me.

Do you hear me, Edward?

This family looks after its own.

And you're one of us now.

Best crack on.

There's a few of his bits and
pieces here you might like.

Anthony would want
you to have 'em.

I'll f*cking k*ll you.

k*ll every last one of them.

Oi.

Where'd you get that, mush?

Your mum gave it to me.

What happened, Eddie?

What? Why did
Ant go wandering?

I dunno- Was there a
bird he was chasing?

No, no-Was he off his nut?

I don't, I- Did he
have agg with someone?

I don't- Tell me
the f*cking truth!

Oi! Len, leave him!

Eddie's hurting too, you know?

Yeah.

sh*t, I just want to
know the truth, you know?

Going f*cking doolally.

We'll figure it out.

Are you OK?

I can't even look him
in the f*cking eye.

Well you have to try, Ed.
Our lives depend on it.

Gene loves you.

He doesn't know me.

He didn't k*ll Dad. You said
it yourself, he wasn't there.

He's a f*cking Lord.

These animals took
everything from us.

They deserve what they get.

So you gonna k*ll
'em off, one by one?

Listen to me. I
know you're scared.

But I'm gonna be
careful, I promise.

You're my reason for living.

I'm not gonna mess it up again.

Anthony was a
horrible little bully.

Good f*cking riddance to him.

Aren't you scared
you're going to hell?

Where do you think I've
been for the last ten years?

Come on Len. Yeah.
Yeah. I am coming dad.

These drugs won't unload
themselves. Right come on boys.

Tell you what, I'm going to
buy a Porsche Targa as soon as

we've got some dough.

Probably get a soft top you
know... A nice little red one.

Just calm down Kel,
for f*ck's sake.

I need you on it
boys, right? Ready?

This time next week, we
will be f*cking caked...

I can smell the readies.

I see them.

♪ I Ran - A Flock of Seagulls ♪

Remember what Amira
said. No f*ck ups.

No surprises.

Oi, what you doing, flirting,
when we're on a job?

The Dutch boys are ready
for us at the warehouse.

Just saying hello Gene...

Listen, I need you on it, Kell.

You won't let me ride
in the f*cking truck,

like I'm a child or something.

Yeah you wonder why mate. Yeah.

Yeah, thought so.
What a prick, eh?

Hmm, I thought your
brother was the boss, no?

Oh, you mean Gene? Mm-hmm.

Na, nah, he's just
a f*cking kid.

Kel, shut it, will ya.

Come in.

So kind of you to
visit Senor Diego.

Senora...

from my family to yours...

Gracias, Senor Diego.

When the flowers die,
you can keep the pot.

I made it with my
own hand. Oh, yeah.

Sorry, it's just so much
has changed, so quickly.

I pretty much raised
that boy myself.

We'll keep you in
our prayers Senora.

Thank you again.

Carl... Carl...?

You're not really going to this
town hall thing tonight are ya?

Can't let Leonard down.
Gotta look my best tonight.

I'm not being funny Carls, but
are you sure you're up to it?

The family needs Leonard
and Leonard needs me.

His nerves are shot.

Public events ain't his bag.

And he's bottling
it all up, as usual.

It's not-it's not
healthy, is it Cind?

All that pain rotting
away inside him.

It'll give him cancer.

And then I'll have no one.

sh*t. Oh f*ck... It's
alright, it's OK, it's OK.

The hurt won't ever go away.

But you'll learn
to live with it.

You have to.

C'mere.

What a mess. No,
no, you're fine.

Look, sod the town hall.

I'll go, I'll look
after Leonard,

you stay here, you lock the
door and have a big old cry.

You need it.

I'm not gonna take
no for an answer.

Yeah. Yeah.

Cindy Carter my a*s.

That woman is Mercy Winters.

Banged up for ten years
on a firearms charge.

When she got out of the nick,
Winters-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I have no idea
what you're saying.

f*ck sake. Give me strength.

Winters was released,
squeaky clean,

never committed another offence,

until her new
fella, Gene Lord...

mowed down my partner
Russo in cold blood.

My condolences.

But d'you think she threw
her hands up in horror,

our Miss Winters, newly
reformed character that she is?

No she did not; she's done
the slips with him to Spain.

Mercy Winters is an
accessory to m*rder.

In your opinion.
Yes, in my opinion.

In my expert opinion!

Jesus, wept.

D'you know if I was a bloke
and I'd come over here to bring

Gene Lord in on my own I'd
get a f*cking commendation

and a first class seat on the
plane to get the job done.

As it stands, I'm just
a liability with t*ts.

Hold on a minute.

Perhaps it may interest you to
know that the Lords are planning

to settle here, to
become hoteliers.

They'll be greasing the locals
at the town hall tonight.

Let's dirty it up
a bit, alright?

Look Dad, new logo for
the oranges, new plates.

You err, used these
trucks before? Many times.

We maintain it ourselves and it's
er, it's been really lucky for us.

Yeah, well we don't deal with
luck in south London, mush.

This is the same method we've
always used, tried and tested.

That's exactly my point.

Gavvers will be on
you, I am telling ya,

if you keep doing the same
route at the same time.

Which is why we should go
now. While it's still light.

It's exactly like we do back in
Bermo - last minute switcheroo.

You f*ck with the times,
you f*ck with the transport,

leaves any clever gavvers with
their c*ck in their hands,

while the generals, they're the
only ones who know the apple.

You see where I'm
going with this, son?

Not really...

But if there are
going to be changes,

I will have to inform Amira.
Don't need to do that Tariq.

Boy's right. Outside the inner
circle, what's the point?

No Dad, I mean, it's worth
discussing strategy for the future,

but this time there's no need.

We're sticking to the plan, alright?
The plan we agreed together.

Mr Lord, Amira doesn't
like surprises.

Who does, mush?

Who f*cking does?

So, you and Len go
to the town hall

the rest of you back
to the warehouse?

Eddie and me will
hold the fort here.

Eddie.

Poor boy. Too young for this.

You think you're the bollocks,

but don't come crying to
me when you get nicked.

Can't just throw a new
idea in without telling me.

'New idea'? I've been working the
switch since before you were born, son.

Working the switch.

Yeah, with fur coats
and snide kettles, Dad,

not millions of
pounds worth of puff.

You've come a long way son,

for someone who hasn't
even f*cking started yet.

I'm having a f*cking go, eh?!

You're a mug, Gene,
I'm sorry to say it.

Alb. Well it's true,

first he nearly f*ck
the deal- That was you...

getting in the middle
while I was in Morocco

and doubling the f*cking
order... Gene, what did I say?!

See, this is what I'm talking
about being muggish, alright?

We could have the lot, son.

If I hadn't jumped in, you'd
have pissed it up the wall

with your two bob deal making,

bowing and scraping to
some toot in a veil.

You don't know how
to think big, boy.

You stupid, r*cist,
f*ck- Gene, nitto.

'Some toot in a veil'?

These people are dangerous
you arrogant f*cking prick.

You could've got
me k*lled. Gene.

You want to see dangerous.
What you gonna do?

You wanna f*cking see dangerous?!
What you gonna f*cking do?!

I'll f*cking show
you, you f*cking...

Gene, for f*ck sake.
Get the f*ck off me!

Go on, go inside. You just
stay out of my f*cking way!

You f*cking washed up old prick.

Gene. Just leave it. Go inside.

f*cking prick.

Come on, look at
the state of you.

Right give me your hand.

Give me your hand.

Don't just stand there mate.

Where the f*cking
hell were you, eh?!

What were you f*cking doing? You
let him humiliate me! Humiliate me!

I'll f*cking destroy him.

You OK?

Mum... I can't
watch you do this.

Well you ain't gonna stop me.

Gene!

Gene!

What have I done Cind?

You stood up to him...

And about time.

sh*t...

You OK boy?

I'm sorry Mum.

That was the funniest thing
I have ever f*cking seen.

Him falling in the
drink like that.

He had it coming. Yeah,
the way he talks to you.

Exactly.

This close, Mum.

Then finish what you started
Gene. Only you can do it.

She's right babe, only you.

But first, you gotta make it
right with your Dad, just for now.

Just until the readies
start coming in.

Sweet.

Yeah, sweet.

I'm sorry, Dad.

It's gotta stop, boy.

Us, at w*r.

I was always so hard on you.

I just didn't think you were
tough enough, so I pushed,

and I'm still pushing.

But what I didn't see...

is that you've got it.

You've always had it, you
just need your time to shine.

I only have it
because of you. No.

Let me say what's fair.

You had a vision.

Something far greater
than I could see.

It's you who can turn this family's
fortunes around. It's you Gene.

Then let's do this
tonight, me and you.

No. Father and son,
side by side, yeah?

You crack on.

It's your time.
I've done my bit.

You mean that?

Go on, f*ck off and make
this family rich boy.

See you when you're
back from Holland.

I love you Dad.

You too boy.

You'll f*cking see.

You see anything
coming, you radio in.

You're on look-out duty.

This radio's f*cking sh*t.

I'd be better use in the truck.

You're not going
in the truck. Why?

I already told you why,
the Dutch know the road.

Why don't you just admit
you don't trust me?

Why would I Kell, mm?

I ask you to keep it sweet while I'm
in Morocco and by the time I'm back,

you've grassed to Dad and
Anthony's f*cking dead.

You blaming me for Anthony now?

Just do your job, mate. You
see any gavvers, you radio in.

Who do you think you are,
Ronnie f*cking Biggs.

Don't worry about him,
Tariq. It'll be sweet.

Alright, we are
good. Sit down.

Here make yourself
comfortable. Thank you.

Alright.

Prick.

Hey, it's supposed to be a charm
offensive. It's not offensive charm.

Lighten up yeah.

Hi there, you look lovely.

Seven? Yeah.

Least the clouds'll
give us cover.

If a storm comes,
the roads may flood.

All must be considered.

Hey there, you look lovely.

Hi, hello, thanks for coming.

Buenos tares.

Hello. Thanks for coming.

Hi there, I'm Len.

Hi you're a lucky
man, she's beautiful.

Right, it's getting
dark, let's move.

Hello mate... Leonard.

We're go.

Here babes come
on, suck on that.

That's a joke - suck on
that - you got it, yeah?

Hmmm...

This is Gene and Tariq at the
rear. Kell. We're all set.

Let me know when you
got eyes on the cargo.

Coast is clear. Relax Gene.

Senor Lord is here to tell
you that the hotel complex

his family intends-

They want you to speak
to them. I'll translate-

What? No...

Fear not. Just be yourself.

You must be f*cking joking.

They're neighbours; good,
hard-working people,

parents.

Speak from the heart.

Um...

I'm not used to public speaking.

But I understand you need to
know if you can trust us or not.

It's true my late uncle Tony
didn't always do right by you.

Hijo de puta!

But my family now.
We have a dream.

To build paradise
right here in Alabasas.

Paradise my a*s!

Our architect,
Emilio Suarez, is...

he's Costa born and bred,
so he knows this land.

And that's what we want.

Cabron!

This coast is special.

And, well, we think we can make
it profitable as well as special.

For all of us.

You English will run away with
the profit like you always do.

I've never run away from anything.
Nor has anyone in my family.

My own son's buried here.

My own son's buried here.

So me and my wife...

We'll never leave him.
He's part of this land now.

Like your own dead.

And I swear to you
we will honour them.

So tell us, Senor.

Tell us how we will profit
from your development?

We'll hire locally.

That means construction,
labour, hotel staff,

leisure sub-contractors.

I was thinking like... Maybe we
could go to dinner one night?

Club Paradiso, you know?

I can get us a reem table, sit
front of house, the whole thing.

What d'you think? Hmm...

Yeah? Kenny, pick up.

Club Paradiso? I'd love that,
but they don't allow Gitanos.

They say we're
dirty. I bet you are.

Nah, nah, I'm just...

Anyway, they'll let you in
if you're wrapped around me,

'cause, you know, otherwise
I'll weigh 'em in, won't I?

Kell, pick up for f*ck's sake.

I think he can live without
me for the minute, don't you?

Are you not going to answer?
Nah, he's a mug anyway, so...

He's not a mug, he's a cool guy.

Yeah...

Great at everything, isn't he?

f*ck sake.

Knock knock.

Hello there.

You alright?

Cindy. How the f*ck
do you know my name?

Hmm.

Impressive speech, eh?

Mm, yeah, yeah, zinger.

Poor fella, losing his son
like that? I can't imagine.

I don't think I'd
ever get over that.

I haven't seen you
round here before?

Long way from home, me.

Well, I just came
for the free vino.

But I have got an
open ended ticket,

so you might see me around kid.

Kell come in for f*ck' sake.

Can we send the truck
through, or not?

Luuk, Metin. Watch out.
We haven't got an update.

You want a little er...

Huh? You up for some of that?

You're nice, Kelly...

but it's your brother I like.

Are you serious?

Kelly, no.

Come here! You can't
like him more than me!

You can't!

Just be quiet! Shut up!

Shhh, Manuela!

Just stop! Stop
lying. Stop lying!

Stop lying. Stop lying.

Stop lying. Stop
lying. It's alright.

It's alright. It's alright.

I'll have another
whiskey, if I may, Ma?

With ice.

There's a storm coming...

you'll get f*ck' soaked.
I'm rather enjoying it.

And oi, there's a mess
in the front room.

Clean it up, will you?

Kelly, this is urgent.
Is the coast clear?

Gene.

Gene.

Gene if you hear, it's the cops.

It's a f*cking road block.

We've got a f*cking
rat among us.
