[bunniefuu]

My bosses are evil people
and they own you.

Don't let them break you.

He's who I think he
might be working for.

Can you find out who he is for me?

Can you point to the man
who k*lled Christian Gregor?



The fine raised to £300,000.

We need 300 grand.

And you've got a plan.
I know you do.

You get everything? Hell, yeah.

OK. Yes! Let's go. Let's go.

SHRIEKING

Take me through it again.

Exactly what happened? Step by step.

There was this girl.
She was pregnant.

I thought she was going to pop
right on the street.

If you're f*cking playing me...

Hmm?

You got family up north?
Leeds, is it?

It's Bradford.

You disappear and don't come back
till I say the word.

So that's what heroin looks like.
Yeah.

What the f*ck do we do now?

DRAWER OPENS

sh*t!

HE EXHALES SHARPLY

HE EXHALES DEEPLY

..80, 95, 100.



Still not enough.

This girl. This is definitely
who you saw him at the prison with?

Mm-hm. Aoife Ward.

I mean, she's a bit older now but,
yeah, that's her.

And what did they look like to you?

Uh, I don't know. They were smiling.

They seemed happy. Yeah?

Did they look like they could be
in love?

Well, you're going to have
to sell it.

Are you googling how to cut it?

Where do you even keep heroin?

In the fridge or the freezer?

How long before it goes off?

What are you doing?

Change of plan.

It's me.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Are you alone?

Are you?

Here.

Right here is where you ambushed me.

You ripped my life apart.

I remember.

Well, now you know how that feels.

Mm.

I need 300 grand,
and I need your help.

I've got your money
and I've got your g*n.

I've got other g*ns.

And I've got your drugs.

They're not my f*cking drugs, Jo.

And I know about you for Ward.


she got caught smuggling heroin,

and she had an accomplice,
but she wouldn't name names

so the judge came down hard.

You f*cked up.

And your girlfriend paid the price.

And then after that verdict,
the man who's now your boss...

..he ambushed you, right?

He show you a live feed of Aoife?

Say, "We have people
in Copperfield prison.

"And unless you do exactly
what we tell you,

"we'll k*ll your girlfriend"?

Picked your life apart,
just like you do with me.

He said, "We know all about you.
You have contacts in Bangkok,

"so we want you to smuggle heroin
for us.

"And if you refuse,
we'll k*ll your girlfriend.

"If you tell your friends or family,
we'll k*ll your girlfriend.

"If you run away, if you flee
the country or go to the police,

"we'll k*ll your girlfriend."

I said that's enough.

"If you do anything apart
from exactly what we tell you,

"we will k*ll your girlfriend."

SCREAMING
sh*t!

Do you want me to sh**t him? No.

No? No.

Oh, my waters have broken.
He's coming...

Back. Get back!

You're not going to sh**t me.
Really?

I would love to f*cking sh**t you.

Where's the money? Go.

Get out of my house!

Where's the heroin, Jo?

Look, we pushed you too far.
This...this is a moment of madness.

Tell me and no-one has to know.

Get out of my house
or I will f*cking sh**t you.

g*n c*ck

You're making a big f*cking mistake,
Jo.

KEYS CLINK

And if anything happens to Sonny...

..your drugs and your money
are gone.

ENGINE STARTS

CAR RECEDES

This is it. OK. Oh!

Oh, sh*t. I didn't ask what...

What's your birth plan?
What are we doing?

Are we having a natural.
Are we doing the pool? Epidural?

Is the epidural the drugs?
The epidural's the drugs.

I want the drugs. You'll have the
drugs. I want all the drugs!

All the drugs, we'll have
all the drugs, please.

SIREN WAILS
Yeah. Why not?

HELICOPTER WHIRS

LOCK CLUNKS

BABY COOS

Well done, you.

Well done.

He looked like a gargoyle
when he first came out.

Oh, stop it!

Stop it. He's absolutely perfect.

Yeah, you are.

Shall I call you mum, Kayla?

Are you sure? Because I'll call her.

Let me call her.
Cos you can't stay at mine now.

Not until I've, you know...

You are going to fix this, right?

Everything's going to be OK?

Yes.

Yes. Yeah.

I'm so tired.

Yeah, I bet you are.

Would you want me to hold him
for a bit while you get some sleep?

Yeah. Yeah. Wake me up in an hour,
though.

He'll need another feed,
wouldn't you? Sure.

Won't you, greedy boy?

Yeah. Oh, I don't want
to let him go. Oh, I understand.

We won't go far. Just stay here.

Oh, my goodness!

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, Kayla.

SHE EXHALES SOFTLY

JO HUMS

HUMMING CONTINUES

Did you used to sing that to Sonny?
Yeah.

It's nice. Don't stop.

# Lean on me

# When you're not strong

# I'll be your friend

# I'll help you carry on

# For

# It won't be long

# Till I'm gonna need

# Somebody to lean on. #

SHE HUMS SONG

I remember when you used
to look scared holding one of those.

What have we done to you?

I'm going to put my g*n down now.

And I'd like it if you did, too.

You were right.

Everything that you said.

You're being blackmailed. Mm-hm.

Just like you.

I mean, I got a promotion from, uh,
from smuggler to middleman,

but they still own me.

And have they broken you?

Look, what do you want?

I need 300 grand to pay
Sonny's fine.

Get him moved to an English prison.

Well, you need a loan shark
and a better lawyer.

And I want you to cut that heroin
that I stole from you.

You're going to double the amount.

Give half to your bosses
and then sell the rest.

Don't worry, you'll get
your money back,

and we'll split the profits 50-50.

HE SCOFFS SOFTLY

You can do that.

I mean, I can, but why would I?

There's no furniture in your house,

and I found fake passports
in your drawers,

and 100 grand hidden away.

And Aoife gets out soon.

The second she does,
you're going to cut and run.

And if I don't help you?

You k*lled someone,
and I have proof.

Jo, I know that Dom followed me.

Do you know he filmed you
on his phone?

Nah, you're lying. I saw him.

He was a state.

He couldn't breathe.

He was panicking.
His mind was playing tricks.

Are you sure about that?

If anything happens to me
or Sonny or Dom, anyone I loved,

and that recording
is going straight to the police.

Oh, the police? Mm.

Who do you think we're working for?

His name is Anton Marquis.

Does that mean anything to you?
He's police?

Top brass. Untouchable.

Does he know you've been
asking questions?

Does he know about me? Look, this is
the last favour I'm doing for you.

Anton can have Sonny k*lled
in an English prison.

You're still trapped.

I told you, Jo.
I know what you told me.

I'm too good for business.
They'll never let me go.

But I am 40 years old,
and this is not going to be my life.

I know you want out, too.

So what are we going to do?

There is a way.

You get what you want
and I get my revenge.

But you got to leave
everything behind.

Your home, your friends, your job.

Are you prepared to do that
to give up everything?

Everything apart from Sonny.

All right.

Well, we're going to need
more heroin.

And you're going to have
to trust me.

Go home to your family.

Whatever you've got yourself into,
just...just leave it.

CAR DOOR OPENS

CAR DOOR CLOSES

Do you understand
what running means?

We're on our own. Yeah.

From now on, everything's a risk.

Hmm.

You sure you still want to do this?

I just need one more favour.

That pregnant girl.
The one who tried to sh**t me?

Yeah, that one.
She's, um, Sonny's girlfriend.

And she gave birth last night.

Oh, sh*t!

So that makes you, uh...
Oh, I don't say it.

It's a boy or girl? It's a boy.

What's his name?

You don't want to know.

HE GRUNTS

Message.

A boy?

Congratulations.

Thank you.

How...how'd you even get this?

Do you have...? A girl.

Ruby. She's five.

Everything I do is for her.

Two bags? Yeah, I am planning

some major retail therapy this trip,
babe. Good girl.

Gucci, a bit of Prada. Oh, yeah.
The showrooms.

Street stalls, but who's going to
know the difference?

Your secret's safe with me.

CAR HORNS TOOT

KNOCK AT DOOR

Set up deals with new connects,
gangs up north.

People Anton doesn't know.

Have you ever smuggled
this much heroin before?

Once.

SHE EXHALES SHARPLY

When Aoife got caught.

Hi.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Coach is here. Are you ready?
Yeah. Nearly. Yeah.

Anything you want to tell me?

Um...

No?

Cos I called you yesterday, and I

thought you might have
wanted company.

Oh, sh*t. Well...

Yeah, I went out early,
and then...bloody my phone died.

Buy anything nice?

No. Nothing exciting.

Are you going to tell me
what happened?

Look, if you need to talk, I'm here,
all right?

Come here. No, no, no, no,
we've got to go.

DOOR OPENS
Come on, girls, let's go, go, go!

We good?

Yep. Did you get searched? No.

What about you? Every time.

So we got this bit right, then.

I can do the next bit by myself.

I'm going to come with you.

All right. Your choice.

Get in, then.

HE CHUCKLES SOFTLY

ENGINE STARTS

It's loaded.

There's a mobile home at
the bottom of the park.

Broken white picket fence.

They know me, but there's no reason
for them to know you.

OK. If I'm not back in ten minutes,
you come and get me.

Don't sh**t anyone.
You just scare 'em.

Driver's side.
Keep the engine running.

DOGS BARKING

Wait there.

ENGINE REVING

NEARBY VOICES

No, no, no.

All right, don't you understand?

I Don't want you to drop it off,
all right.

This is your last chance, man.

Yeah...

NEARBY VOICES

g*ns.

Machetes.

Who the f*ck are you?

Drop it now.

Easy, easy, all right,
everything's cool, OK?

Right, who's in here?

And the other thing...

The bar outside of Bangkok?

Paradise.

You had your chance.

It's not for me.

Fair.

If that's what you want.

The White Rose, see my sister.

You know the price.

I'll tell her to expect you.

Pay her in cash, then
it's all yours.

Go, go, go! Oh, sh*t.

ENGINE TURNS

f*ck! What?

That, I'm f*cking with you.

Oh, I...

..I hate you.

Some f*cking getaway driver
you are, eh?

Oh, f*ck off!

ENGINE STARTS

Noi I sent me.

Congratulations.

You know you can never go home.

It's gonna be hard.

Don't underestimate me.

No, I just...

..I want you to be sure.

When I was pregnant, people used
to look at me

like they knew what my life was
going to be.

Because they thought it was
going to be small.

I was going to miss out on things.

But I proved them wrong.

Travelled the world, haven't I,
ten times over.

If those people could see
you now, eh?

You'd blow their minds.

Yeah.

So the Bar, it's off
the beaten track.

It's like a stretch of white sand
and palm trees.

You know, ice cold beers.

It's backpacker trade.

It's paradise, you'll
be happy there.

How did you find it?

Oh, it's a long story.

I'm listening.

I started dealing in Belfast.

You know, I was just a kid, but, um,
I got caught by the police.

Turned informer to stay out of jail.

Well, maybe I was just afraid
of my dad,

but, um, some scary people find out,
and I ran.

I was like you, you know? I
didn't want my life to be small.

I wanted to see the world.

So I ended up in Thailand,
met up with this old connect,

and we persuaded hippie kids
to run drugs to Europe.

One time only deals, a few quit
to keep travelling.

And Aoife was one of those kids.

That bar was supposed to be for us.

There's this little market nearby.

There's the outside tables and the
fairy lights and all that.

And they've got the best pad Thai
in Thailand.

We used to say that we'd eat there
every night before we opened up.

Sounds perfect.

It was a long time ago.

What do you think you're gonna
miss the most?

The most?

Um...

My job.

Your job? Yeah.

Jesus. Yeah, I love it.

I love that first day
in a new country.

I love the new food, it's
a different culture.

It's a chance to be someone else.

I like that.

Being someone else.

Yeah, I bet you bloody do.

You know, I think about
when we first met.

And what if I'd been someone else?

Or you'd been someone else?

What if you'd let me buy
you that drink?

I'd have thrown that drink
in your bloody face.

Tell me what happened then, when
Aoife got caught.

She wanted to take a risk and set us
up for life.

But it never felt right.

Why did you do it then?

Why do you think.

You were in love?

Mm.

If you had any relationships since
Aoife's been in prison?

I've been loyal to her.

Same way she's been loyal to me.

That's all it is, it's loyalty.

It's not love?

When I visit her, it's like talking
to a stranger.

I knew it when you were together,
you know...

..danger is all we have in common,
we were thrill seekers.

Why are you helping me?

You held a g*n to my head.

You've got your money now
so you could just run.

You still don't trust me?

And at the same time...

..I know too much.

And when Aoife gets out,
I'm a dead man.

You haven't answered my question.

Why am I helping you? Yeah.

Why do you think?

Where next?

Somewhere nobody can find me.

I mean, where next right now?

That man that you k*lled...

..that one in London?

It was him or me.

Doesn't make it right.

I didn't plan to k*ll anyone.

He pulled a knife...

I panicked, I got lucky.

So he was someone from your past?

Because what if Anton set that up?

He didn't.

What if he knows about all of this?

I have made so many mistakes
in my life, all right.

Belfast as a kid, Bangkok
with Aoife.

You found my house, you stole
my money,

you jacked my heroin.

But we're still alive, me and you.

So Anthony doesn't know.

We're doing the right thing?

Right's got nothing to do with.

Him or us?

So far, it's been us. Yeah.

Yeah.

This time it's going to be him.

You grew up somewhere like this?

What, a council estate?

sh*thole.

Why, it's a sh*thole with a view.

I moved here when I was a boy.

I used to think that just getting
out would be enough.

When you grow up skint,
nothing's ever enough.

It's why people
like us always get caught.

One more run and you're finished?

Girl's out in a couple of weeks,
don't tell me

you haven't thought about it.

You'll want to make via
contacts in Bangkok.

Keep your options open.

Flight attendant, you like her,
do you?

I let her think that.

She knows who I am?

No. Copper's been asking questions.

It's her that went to the police.

One more run.

It's over for her too.

Over?

And what about the boy, Sonny?

Saw a fella fall from
those flats once.

w*r veteran, the Falklands.

People assumed that he'd jumped.

They said, "Who can blame him,
After all he's been through?"

No loose ends.

Then I'm a free man?

Consider it done.
