[MICHAEL GRUNTS]
MICHAEL: Mom!
[GRUNTS]
MICHAEL: Mom!
Mom!
You all right, Mikey? I want Mom!
I'm bleeding.
Mom!
MICHAEL: Mom!
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[PANTING]
[PHONE RINGING]
Oh, fuck.
Yeah? MAND: Are you up yet?
Yeah, yeah.
I don't believe this. You need to get down the dole office, Michael.
Look, if you miss this appointment, you don't get any money.
No worries, Mand. I'm on my way now.
Will you get your ass down there? Now! Yeah, okay.
LEE: Get off me!
Get the fuck off!
I'm gonna go to the police, you complete animal!
Stay out. I'm not coming back!
I wouldn't want a job from you anyway!
WOMAN: Name?
Michael Burns. Got a half eleven appointment.
Take a seat. We'll shout you when we're ready.
It's half eleven now.
Just take a seat.
[SIGHS]
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
Must be dole day. Yep.
Where's your man, Dick, is it?
MICHAEL: It's Dig.
Dig, right. Yeah.
Where's he?
Fuck if I know. Yeah, well...
He made a right fucking mess last time he was in here.
A right fucking to-do that was.
I'd stay away from him if I were you, he's trouble.
£3.60.
Thanks.
Hi. [CLEARS THROAT]
Get us a drink, will you?
You're forward, aren't you?
What do you want? Vodka and tonic.
Please, I'll get you one back, promise.
Is she old enough?
[MICHAEL SIGHS]
You saw me kicking off before, didn't you?
Yeah.
What did you do? Nothing.
That fat bastard security guard just wanted a grip of me, I reckon.
I kicked off a bit, but only because they weren't listening to me.
They make you feel dead small, don't they?
I said, "I'm not just another number on one of your forms, you daft bitch."
So I said, "Watch this, yeah.
"Make sure this goes on one of your forms.
[BANGS] "And have this one as well."
[THUDS] Oi!
[CHUCKLING]
Then that knob head security got me
and I'm out of there, skint and fast as fuck.
That's harsh.
Yeah, it's well harsh.
It's nice that someone gets it.
What's your name?
Michael.
What are you doing after this, Michael?
Going home. Where's that?
Salford.
Oh, I live around there. I'll walk back with you.
LEE: Where's yours from here then? MICHAEL: It's upstairs.
You gotta walk around the back of the shops to get in.
I got you some chips.
I'm not hungry.
Yeah, you are. What have you eaten today?
Nothing. Well, there you are then.
DIG: Michael? Yeah?
Hi. Oh, Jesus!
Put your knob away!
[LEE LAUGHS] What?
MICHAEL: Move! What are you doing?
Shut up!
[LEE GIGGLING] DIG: Oh!
Shut up! All right, love.
Sorry, I wasn't that truthful before.
The thing is, I lost my job and my room in this house I was at
and that's why I was at the dole before kicking off.
I'm stressed out with it all, Mikey.
Do you know what I mean? Do you mind if I call you Mikey?
You seem like a really nice guy,
so I was thinking, can I just stay here with you two for a bit?
You gonna eat them?
I'll have 'em.
You better ask Dig.
Er...
Yeah, well, you know, I'm a gentleman,
so always obliged to help a lady out.
Nice one. Cheers, Dig. Cheers, Mikey. Saved my life.
DIG: So, er...
What we up to tonight, then?
Shall we celebrate?
Town?
You're unbelievable.
It's fucking Tuesday night.
Mate, Tuesday's the new Friday.
Plus, students are back, so, you know.
I wanna go out.
I thought you were skint.
I am, but it's a laugh.
Yay! It's a laugh! Come on, Mikey, you big boring bastard.
Fuck it, all right. DIG: Yes!
[PARTY MUSIC PLAYING]
[DIG LAUGHING]
It's brass out there, innit?
You've got these ones, right?
No, mate, it's your round. Fuck off.
It's always my fucking round!
It's always my round, you bastard. [DIG LAUGHING]
[LEE CHUCKLING]
Michael.
Hey, Mand.
Few people about, innit?
Yeah, yeah. Well, Dig reckons it's because the students are back.
Does he? Like he knows everything.
I'm Michael's sister, Amanda.
Oh, hiya. I'm Lee.
I'm staying with Dig and Michael for a bit in the flat.
On the floor.
[LAUGHS]
Did you make it in time?
Mmm. Mm-hmm.
So, you got money or do you need some?
No, no, I'm fine. I've got some...
Here you go.
Here.
Thanks.
[DISCO MUSIC PLAYING]
Do you feel different?
I feel absolutely fucked.
No, all the time.
Yeah, most of the time.
Not pissed up different. Like, different inside.
Why are you trying to bring me down?
Michael...
I know what it's like.
I know that we're different.
Sorry, Lee.
[VOMITING]
[CHUCKLING]
Whoa, what are you doing mate?
Check him out.
[MEN CHEERING]
MICHAEL: I'm fine. MAND: No, you're not fine, Michael.
MICHAEL: I haven't got my coat. MAND: I've got your coat here.
What are you like?
Just concentrate.
I'm fine!
[GROANS]
Sis, let go off me.
[LAUGHS]
[DIG LAUGHING]
Be fucking careful!
[MOCKINGLY REPEATS]
Yes, girls!
Where you going, ladies?
[CAR HORN HONKING] Fucking hell, dickhead.
[DIG LAUGHING]
Hey, love, I'll tell you what, if you thought that was funny,
give us a kiss and I'll do it again, eh?
[BOTH LAUGHING]
[LAUGHING] I got one.
Michael.
Woo! DIG: Michael.
I've got womens. Don't be stupid, Michael.
Michael, get out of the fucking road!
Woo!
Michael, come on.
[TIRES SCREECHING]
[SCREAMS]
[LAUGHS]
MAND: Sorry.
What the fuck are you playing at?
I'm just having a laugh.
You nearly got yourself fucking killed, Michael.
I'm having a laugh. Did you hear me?
Yeah! Yeah!
I fucking can't do this anymore.
Mand, I'm sorry.
No, you're not. You're not fucking sorry.
Mand!
Just leave me alone.
I'll make sure they get home.
You fucking legend. [LAUGHING]
LEE: Get off the road. You fucking legend!
[LAUGHING]
DIG: Where are we going?
[WHISPERS] Hey, you set then?
Erm, just anywhere here on the right please, mate.
Yeah, just, nice one.
Cheers, bud, thank you.
Where's my, uh, fucking...
Go, go, go.
Michael! Are you paying or what?
No, I'm not paying, mate. Michael, come back!
DRIVER: Come here.
Get off me!
CAB DRIVER: Come here! LEE: Get off!
MICHAEL: Dig! [DIG LAUGHING]
[LEE SCREAMS]
[GRUNTS]
Lee?
Lee.
Come on, get up.
Mike.
[LEE PANTING]
You okay?
Yeah. Sorry, I didn't know we were running.
Oh, no. It was Dig's idea.
Come on, let's go upstairs.
You all right? Can we stay out here for a bit?
Yeah.
Sit down with me, Mike.
[SCOFFS] I'm fucked?
[EXHALES]
Mike?
What were you feeling when you were stood on the road?
I don't know. Why?
Just curious.
Did you feel alive?
I was off my tits.
Yeah, I guess, yeah, it felt good.
You got any family besides Mand?
My mom's dead
and my dad,
he was never around.
He was a dickhead.
Sorry about your mom.
No, it's okay.
Um...
My sis, she's my... My guardian angel.
She keeps me on the straight and narrow, you know.
She seems really nice.
She's fucked.
How do you mean?
I don't know. She's always...
...trying to keep everything together
and she's just fucked in the head.
Doctors got her on these happy pills.
But she cares about you. She's family.
Yeah, I know. I know. I'm an idiot.
Okay, I wanna go inside now, I'm cold.
All right.
I need to go somewhere tomorrow.
Where?
I need to get to my uncle's to see if he's got some money for me.
You doing anything?
No. Come with me then.
Okay.
LEE: It's not far now.
My uncle owns Cloud 9.
MICHAEL: What's Cloud 9?
Massage place. What, do you work there?
Do I look like a pro?
Fuck off!
Yeah?
Hi.
We don't have any work, darling?
Just let me in, will you?
What's it about? Just let me in, for fuck's sake.
[SLAMS DOOR] Oi!
[KNOCKS CONTINUOUSLY]
[DOOR LOCK OPENS]
Lee, sweet.
You're such a dick. Come on.
Michael, come on.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[KNOCKING AT DOOR]
All right, Lee. Ian.
Who's this? Michael.
Nice to meet you, Michael.
So,
what are you two doing here?
Just seeing how you are.
I like to fuss, don't I?
IAN: And?
Just seeing if you've got anything for me?
[CLEARS THROAT]
You need anything else?
I was just thinking
Michael needs a job.
Is that right?
Have you got the balls for it, kid?
You wanna see my CV?
I'll think about it.
Thanks, Ian. You're the best. Yeah, I know.
WOMAN: So I had him on all fucking fours, didn't I,
he looked up at us like I was an all-you-can-eat buffet.
Oh, hang on. Hey.
Lee! Lee, you fucking daft! Alex!
I didn't know you were working today. How are you?
Oh, you know, same as always, gorgeous.
On me back for crack. [SNIFFS]
What's going on with you?
Hey, you look great.
Proper little lady. Shut up, Alex.
No, seriously, you look gorgeous.
And who's this? The new boy?
No. No.
Shame. Does he want some business?
LEE: No, he doesn't. Leave him alone.
Listen, where are you staying? Have you got somewhere sorted?
I'm staying with Mikey for a bit in Salford.
All right. Good.
Yeah, it's all right then.
What about money? Have you seen Ian?
Yeah, I've been in to see Ian.
I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me.
ALEX: Well, I always will, Little Lee.
I've gotta look out for you.
Listen, don't let me forget to give you my new number. Give us your phone.
LEE: Right, I'm off for a piss. She doesn't bite.
I fucking do.
NEWSREADER: ...searching for a young man
who disappeared after attending a friend's birthday party in Manchester...
Come on, then.
NEWSREADER: Patry Gomez she was last seen by friends
on Deansgate, on Friday evening.
He's still the...
Don't be shy. Come sit down.
So, Mikey,
you all right?
Yeah.
You know, um,
you can come back here anytime
on your own.
I'll knock you a bit off for looking after our Little Lee.
Okay.
Give us your number then.
ANSWERING MACHINE: Hi, you've reached Mandy. Leave me a message.
She won't pick up my calls. I've been trying all day.
Where you going?
I'm gonna go and see if she's okay.
[PHONE BEEPS]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Did you ring?
Um, no.
Fifty.
Alex said that I can have a...
[STUTTERING] A discount.
Did she now?
What is your name?
Um, Michael.
Oh, yeah.
Do you want a drink? No, I don't.
Right. Well, then.
Lounge is just through there.
Sit down. She'll be with you in a minute.
Okay.
[WOMAN MOANING]
[SIGHS]
Mikey, you all right, darling?
Does Lee know you've come back?
No.
So, what is it you're after, sweetie?
You want to come with me, don't ya?
Okay.
[WOMAN MOANING]
Just relax
'cause I'm gonna make you feel really special.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
That's it.
All right. Turn over, darling.
I see that's got you all excited.
[MICHAEL MOANS]
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
[BOTH PANTING] [DOOR CREAKS]
ALEX: Fuck! Oh, my God!
For fuck's sake! Are you fucking kidding me?
Ray? Ray?
Ray!
[MAN GROANING]
[GASPS]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
[GASPS]
MAN: Michael? Michael?
Michael!
How's your head?
[EXHALES] Shite.
Good.
Look,
I'm sorry about that.
Ray got a bit over-excited.
That old fella was getting a bit rough with one of the new girls.
[SIGHING] I don't give a fuck. I'm going.
Whoa, whoa. Hang on, hang on! Michael. Michael,
because you came in here with Lee, yeah, because...
I'm going!
You say nothing, Michael!
Quiet as the night, yeah?
[SLAMS DOOR]
Mmm.
I can't believe I'm not hungover.
Dig?
Dig, you twat.
Dig? Dig.
Hey.
You don't understand, Lee. I saw a guy die in front of me.
I swear to God. I've never seen anything like it.
Have you told anyone?
I'm telling you, now.
Did anyone see you leave?
I don't think so.
What were you doing going back there anyway?
[DEEP BREATH] I was wrecked.
I don't know. I just went back.
But you chose to go back, yeah,
to fuck something?
Probably.
Probably? What does that mean?
What?
So you don't really know why you went back?
What are you talking about?
I knew it.
What?
'Cause Alex is gorgeous.
[SIGHS]
Don't we need to tell someone?
Like who?
Like the police?
No.
You can come back to the club with me.
It's Ian's club.
Let's find out exactly what happened
before we start telling people like the police.
Are you taking the piss?
Whatever happened to that guy,
I'm sure there is an explanation.
Ian doesn't like trouble.
He looks after the girls and he looks after me.
At least give him a chance to explain before you start getting the law involved.
[SIRENS WAILING AT THE DISTANCE]
LEE: Michael's a bit freaked out about what he saw the other night, Ian.
I can understand that.
It's pretty shocking.
But it's over with now.
He wants to go the police.
It's all dealt with, don't worry.
We patched him up.
He lost a bit of blood but he'll be all right.
It didn't seem that way. He'll be fine.
Anyway, that guy,
he's a wrong'en, He's got loads to hide
so he won't be pressing charges.
It's best we leave it alone.
Put it behind us and move on. LEE: Good.
Michael's a good friend.
And you did say you might be able to help him out a bit?
[CLEARS THROAT]
Do you want a job, son?
What? A job.
Here. Nothing heavy, just a few nights on the door.
Can you open the door?
What happened to the last bloke?
What? Ray? No.
Nah, he's gone. He was a liability.
He was too hot headed.
No, you're all right, mate.
Look, Ray had the wrong attitude.
I need someone I can trust,
a smart lad who can see trouble coming.
Do you know what I mean?
Someone who can help me look after Alex
and the girls, yeah?
Someone who'll protect them.
Lee says you're skint
and I'll give you cash in hand, you can keep signing on.
Hey.
If Lee vouches for you then I take her word for it.
Katy,
this is Michael.
He'll be on the door from now on.
All right, boss. No probs.
You be gentle.
I'll talk you through it.
[STUBBING OUT CIGARETTE]
So,
here's the monitor for the stairs.
It's got the view from the camera outside.
Let the punters stand there
for at least a minute,
get a good look at 'em,
make sure they're not drugged up, pissed up or look like trouble.
That's where Ray went wrong.
He let the wrong uns in, like that bloke the other night.
No pressure then.
And then you open the door
and I book 'em in.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Right, so,
we've got
Alex, Emma,
Jessica, Michelle tonight.
The girls decide what the punts can and can't do.
I do not move from this chair
unless I need a piss or a brew,
and seeing as you've just started,
you can stick the kettle on.
[SENSUAL MUSIC PLAYING]
Right, all ready for ya.
You know where to go.
ANDY: Usual room?
ALEX: That's right Andy, the usual room.
See you later, new guy.
Heading off early for the night, it's dead and all the pervs are skint.
How you doing, new boy?
There you are. Full night. Cheers.
Thanks. Well deserved, that.
Not a sniff of trouble.
You fancy some more?
Yeah, definitely.
IAN: Same time tomorrow night, then.
Give him that tin, Katy.
There you go.
You lock that in the office for us, will you?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
We'll wait here for you.
Don't be long, yeah?
[DOOR CREAKING]
[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]
[DOOR CLANGING]
There you are, Michael.
[STUTTERING] I was just, um...
What's up?
I heard a noise coming from down here so I just...
The fire door was left open.
Nothing out here either?
Good.
Nice one for checking though.
Dedication, you see, that's what I'm talking about.
[IAN LAUGHS]
Come on, let's get you home, mate.
[SIREN WAILING]
What were you up to tonight?
Earning my pocket money from Ian.
Lee... Yeah?
About the other night... Don't talk about it, Michael.
Don't say anything. Just leave it.
I can't get it outta me head.
None of it matters.
But what happened to his body? Where is he now?
You're talking crazy. You heard what Ian said.
Put your arm around me, I'm cold.
It's all dealt with.
I keep seeing it in my mind.
All that blood.
It's all right, Michael.
Everything's different now.
[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]
[SCREAMS]
[PANTING]
[SIGHS]
Mand?
I know you're in.
I'm sorry I fucked up. I wanna make it up to you.
I've got some news.
ALEX: You're quiet tonight, Mikey boy.
Or should I say, quieter?
I'm just eating.
All right. Fair play. [KNOCK ON DOOR]
I better get back. Speak to you later.
KATY: Yeah, see you.
[SMIRKS]
KATY: Let that man in.
I thought you said to let them squirm.
Yeah, well, not this one.
Do it.
The usual, sir?
I'll take your coat.
No need for that, Michael.
In you go, sir.
Room 4, as usual.
Why does he get special treatment?
He just does.
Stop asking me questions and go make me another cup of tea.
Okay.
[MAN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY] WOMAN: Stop! Ian!
Leave it, Michael.
WOMAN: Stop! Ian!
But that's Lee.
KATY: Michael.
Michael, just go back to the desk.
Whoa, whoa, calm down, Grant.
You're going too far.
I don't give a fuck.
I own you.
I'll do what I want.
This is my niece. She's just a kid, yeah?
If you want to do that, have one of the others.
[LEE GAGGING]
Little Lee is all I want.
You stay there, Michael.
Back off, twat!
KATY: Come on, girls, get back in.
Do you know who the fuck I am?
No, I don't know who the fuck you are!
Back the fuck off, lad,
or I'll snap her fucking neck.
Hey. Okay. Okay. Grant.
We'll leave you to it.
Now, you come away, Michael. No.
Come on. Yes. Fucking no.
Get back on the fucking bed.
Ian!
[EXHALES] Wanker.
You best go check on Lee,
she's with Ian.
[DOOR CREAKING]
Michael, the main man.
Just checking on Lee. I wanna see if she's all right.
You should come and help us. I'm sure she'd appreciate it.
Okay.
[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]
What the fuck?
Wait, Michael, just wait.
Wait for what? So you can fucking kill me too?
[CHUCKLES] Why would I do that?
'Cause you're a fucking nutter.
What the fuck? Hey, hey, hey.
What the fuck, Ian?
It's fine, Michael.
It's fine.
[MICHAEL GASPS]
Shh.
No.
[RETCHING]
[MICHAEL COUGHING]
[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]
Everything's different now, son.
I said nothing else mattered, didn't I, Mikey?
[PANTING]
I knew it the first time I saw you.
I spoke to you,
and I knew it was inside of you.
It's inside all of us here.
We look after each other.
We're a family.
[RETCHING]
[GIGGLING]
Do you feel different?
Did you feel alive?
And I knew it was inside of you.
It's inside all of us here.
[LAUGHING]
[LAUGHING CONTINUES]
[LAUGHING]
We're a family.
[MICHAEL PANTING]
[SURREAL MUSIC PLAYING]
Do you want to go and get a drink somewhere, lad?
Now you know how good it feels.
You feel different?
Feel like you're in a dream?
Well, let me tell you,
you've woken up from one, Michael.
You've lifted yourself out of a fucking horrible nightmare.
That was real?
That was so real that you'll never go back.
You're yourself now.
[MICHAEL SNIFFS]
Why?
It's what makes us live.
It takes away all the shit in your head, everything that you worry about.
It makes us strong.
You see, things, Michael,
things don't matter.
It's what you've been looking for.
No.
I wasn't looking.
You pulled me in.
Shite.
You floated along on a river of shit.
We pulled you out because you were drowning.
We're the same.
Me and you.
And the girls.
We all look out for each other.
What about Lee?
What about her? Yeah, she's one of us.
We look out for her.
Why did you let that wanker fuck her then?
He could finish us. He's dangerous.
Everyone's protection all over the city.
Everyone pays him in one way or another.
What are you gonna do?
Fuck. [CHUCKLES]
I know what I'd like to do.
You've got family, Michael.
Mand.
Your sister? No.
I mean us, we're your new family.
She's still stuck in her nightmare, drowning.
I want her to wake up. I don't want her to drown, Ian.
Must meet her then. Bring her in.
But what if she's not one of us?
You kill people.
Of course, we do.
One of them saves five of us, ten of us. They're nobodies.
You are saying my sister's a nobody?
Would you kill her?
Would you?
Listen,
it's not just me and the girls, Michael,
we're everywhere.
It's a network.
We're in the saunas,
we're in the taxis,
we're in the bus.
We feed them, we give them booze,
we drive them around, we fuck 'em.
And then,
we take something back.
And it's good.
Isn't it good?
Yeah. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Yes, it's so fucking good.
Nothing else matters.
You see where Mand is, you'd be there,
we'd all be there.
Fucked, mate. Unraveling.
We save each other.
[INHALES]
You're awake, Michael.
You're awake now.
See you tomorrow night, yeah?
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Seriously, Michael, what the fuck?
I was waiting for you.
I don't want you here, Michael.
I'm trying to get my life back together and you,
you just bring me down.
Um...
Everything is different now, Mand.
I've heard it all before, Michael.
I've got a job now. I'm making money.
Dig leading you astray again?
He's not, I promise.
You remember Lee?
Her uncle's given me a job at the club. I'm working on the door.
And it's good money.
You mean they haven't fired you yet.
No, they like me.
We all get on. It's like... It's like a family.
Amanda.
I need to talk to you.
What's this club then?
It's, um...
It's a massage place.
[SIGHS] For fuck's sake, Michael.
You can't do anything normal, can you?
Honestly, touch one of those girls in there,
and I'll cut it off.
Fucking riddle.
It's a job.
Isn't it?
So, what about that Lee girl?
What about her? You like her?
She's very young, Michael.
And I think she likes you, so be careful.
Aye. Cheers for that, Mand.
Hey, Stop, stop, stop.
It's okay. It's okay. Let go.
[MAND SOBBING] It's all right.
Okay.
Okay?
It's all fine. It's all fucking fine.
You still taking those pills?
[SNIFFLING] [SIGHS] Mand.
Mand, you've got to keep taking them.
You know what happens when you don't.
I just want to be normal.
I don't want to be a fuck up.
I don't want to have to rely on those fucking things.
[CRYING]
[SIGHS] Mand.
It's okay.
We're both fuck ups.
So what?
Who wants to be normal?
[SCOFFS]
I like the fact that we're not.
Lotta help you are.
Hey, how about
I'll take you down to the club sometime.
Uh...
Why would I wanna do that?
Are you trying to pimp me out?
Of course not.
I want you to meet them. They're really nice, they're actually...
They're kinda different, like us.
No, thank you.
Okay, look,
at least
let me take you out for a drink tonight.
Celebrate, I've got a job.
Okay.
Come here.
[PARTY MUSIC PLAYING]
You getting drinks in then, lad?
Yeah, Dig.
Hi. Can I have two lagers, please?
You wanna buy me a drink?
No, you're all right, love.
Do you wanna fuck me?
[MOANING]
[SCREAMING]
No, you're all right.
[DIG LAUGHING]
[LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY]
Sort him out, Michael.
Oh, you're gorgeous, you.
Come here, love. What are you doing?
Come and dance with me.
You're beautiful, come on. [LAUGHS]
You wanna know why they call me Dig? [LAUGHING]
Hey, hey, jackass over here.
GIRL: Let go of me. [DIG LAUGHING]
Stay out of it, Michael. Please. Don't worry.
DIG: All right, babe.
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

LEE: Michael, come on. Get up. Come on.
Michael!
[SPITS]
MICHAEL: Woo!
So much for you being different now.
I am. Didn't you see that?
I see Dig still getting you fucked up.
Where is he now, eh?
He's already fucked off
leaving you to take a beating.
None of that matters anymore!
So, what's that on your face then, raspberry jam?
Come on, taxi! Come on!
You all right, Michael? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Who is that? Uh, that's...
That's no one.
What are you doing? Here, take her home.
Go home, Mand.
I thought you wanted me to see where you worked.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Look...
Look, I know that you feel it,
but you've got to sort it out.
You keep yourself on a level.
But I feel good, boss.
Yes, you will do. I'm just saying.
You keep yourself in check.
We don't advertise.
Yeah?
Now, we all feel it,
but you keep it in. You enjoy it,
but it's for no one but yourself.
It's our secret.
I want you to remember that, Michael?
Okay, boss. Zipped.
Good lad.
I want you to take this round to a friend.
It needs to go tonight.
Where does it need to go?
Mia's, it's just off Princess Street.
Do you not know it round there?
Yeah, I know it. Yeah. Good.
I want you to give it to Dave. No one else.
And you wait around if you have to.
I am trusting you, Michael.
Yeah, no probs.
Take a seat.
Got the envelope?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[LINE RINGING]
IAN: Hi, Dave. What you want me to do with these?
It's insurance.
You're fucking crazy? No.
I'm gonna bring him down.
This is a really bad idea, Ian. Don't do this.
This guy, yeah, has got everyone in his pocket.
You don't mess with him, you get me?
IAN: Hey, don't you worry about that. I know what I'm doing.
DAVE: All right.
Okay.
I've got a plan.
Just be careful. Always, mate. Always.
Later. Later.
So...
You're Ian's man, then? Yeah.
How you liking it?
Yeah. Yeah, it's okay.
Are you one of us, Michael?
Mm-hmm.

Hello? Can I have an ambulance, please?
Best if you wait here. Let them look at her.
I need to stay with her.
Best not.
Come and sit down.
Now, wait here. I'll be back when I've got some news.
Michael?
Could I have a word in private, please?
We can leave you alone with her for a while,
if that's what you'd like.
Yeah, yeah.

I'm so sorry.
[LINE RINGING]

Um...
I'm not gonna be able to come in today.
Can you let Ian know?
What's wrong?
I don't know when I'm next gonna be in.
Mand took an overdose. She's dead.
Oh, shit.

You are one of us now.
And in this family, we all look after each other.

Okay then.
We're all in this together.

Alex, get your ass down here, now!
Are you getting the fucking door or what?
Good evening, sir.
Alex is gonna look after you for a little while.
Where's Lee?
She's just getting ready for you. She won't be long.
Alex, would you, um...
We'll just get you in the mood, shall we?
How long will she be? Not long, don't worry.
Shall we?
ALEX: You smell nice.
So Lee's got something special for you...
Michael?
Michael, Ian wants you.
Are you all set?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[EXHALES]
For fuck's sake, Michael.
Lee brought you in here, yeah?
Do not fucking let that girl down. Do you hear me?
[DEEP BREATH] No, I'm good. I'm good.
Well, you get yourself sorted,
'cause in a minute,
me and you, Michael,
me and you, we're gonna go down there and we're gonna fucking kill him.
And then later on,
we're all gonna go downstairs
and his body is ours.
I feel a bit sick.

Oh, hey, brought your little helper?
Don't worry.
Michael understands his position now.
Lee's down there.
What?
Yeah, we've set up a separate room for you
so you're not disturbed. You know what I mean?
Come on, she's waiting for you.
Just this way. And we'll leave you in peace, yeah?
[COUGHS]
So, she's in there, is she? Yeah.
Well get out of my fucking way then.
Fuck off, the pair of you.
Hello, Little Lee.
Your daddy's here.
And I've got something special for you, baby.
Lee?
Fuck!

You'd better tell me where he is now.
KATY: I don't know where he is.

Tell me where Grant is

He hasn't been here. Bollocks!
We know he was here. Don't fucking lie!
Okay, okay.
Okay, he was here before but he left ages ago.
So how come he called me less than 20 minutes ago, saying he was here?
[GAGGING]
Take her down.
Please. [SCREAMS]
No!
Please, no!
ALEX: I told you,
I wish I could help you but I can't.
Please don't hurt me.
I don't know anything. [SOBBING]
I don't know anything.
Tell me where he is.
You're hurting me, please let me go.
Okay. Okay.
I'll tell you where he is if you let me go.
Start talking.
Come on, we've gotta go. We've gotta wait for Alex.
We have to leave. We've gotta wait.
ALEX: I don't know what else to do.
I do know where he is.
He's out there.
What? We didn't see anyone.
Yeah, well, you wouldn't, would you?
He's gone upstairs.
He's on that floor.
Go take a look.

Let's go.
[GUNSHOT]
[SIREN WAILING]
There's nothing left.

We need to go. We've gotta go.
Don't worry. Listen to me.

Michael and Little Lee.
It's early. Night children you two, aren't you?
[LAUGHS]
Something happened, Dave.
Ian's dead.
And Alex.
You what?
Grant?
Lynn. Lynn!
Fuck off for a bit, yeah?
Anyone else make it out?
No.
Fuck!
I told him not to do it.
I warned him.
He was protecting me.
We need somewhere, Dave, are we all right here?
No.
No, I've got nothing for ya.
You shouldn't be here.
You can't be anywhere near here.
They're gonna be looking for you.
We're hungry, Dave.
Just go, Lee.
Die then.
Don't come back, Little Lee.
Not ever.
Sean.
Come on.
Get in.
What, you know him?
Just get in the back.
It's all right. He's one of us. You all right?
Getting there.
Get in the fucking cab.
I'll give you a lift to the station.
You two better make yourselves scarce.
Cops are already sniffing around.
You need to look after her, Mikey.
I know you're a good lad.
I've been keeping an eye on you both.
You are the future, Little Lee.
Am I? Yes, you are.
Ian always knew.
SEAN: Get the fuck out of here.

I know.
AUTOMATED VOICE: You have one new message.
[BEEPS]
MAND: I can't ever forget that day and what happened.
It was hot. We went in the car.
Shit-car. That's what we called it, shit-car.
I hated going out in it.
I used to put my head down in the back
if we went past someone we knew.
Do you remember the park bit there?
It was massive, like a forest.
Me and you didn't
even fight or anything. Do you remember?
[MAND SNIFFLING]
Do you remember? [SOBBING]
Why did she leave us? [CRYING]
Why?
[MAND SOBBING]
I hate her so much for what she did.
[CRYING]
AUTOMATED VOICE: End of messages. Main menu.
To listen to your messages, press one.
I'm sorry, Michael.
I know you loved her.
But you've got a new family now.
Us two, together.
Where are we going?
