on remand for robbery.
He went into it - This isn't the garden fence, Sarah.
Sorry, Father.
If you could only talk to Michael, keep him on the straight and narrow.

If you could carry him, the rest would follow.
'They're not bad boys, Father.
' Tommy Blue's been clever again.
How much does he owe ? Three weeks.
Christ ! Smash his place up.
Done it.
He's taking liberties.
We'll have to pay him a visit, boys.
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
I missed last month.
Oh, you have been bad, Michael.
But the good Catholic soldiers of Ireland forgive you.
When are you likely to sin again ? Mickey ! She's up the spout.
Which one ? Janine Grierson.
The butcher's daughter ? Well, least we'll never be short of a bit of meat.
Oh, look - Doris Day ! Princess ! Let's have a look.
That's beautiful.
Garry will pick you up at 10.

Maggie's boyfriend Dennis has a car.
Maura, don't be difficult ! I'll be home by eleven ! What can happen to her ? She's a Ryan.
It's a palais in Ilford.
No-one's heard of the famous Ryans there.
They will, Princess.
They will.
Please ? All right.
But get back by eleven - sharp.
And don't open your mouth, Geoff.
Come on, all of you ! Benny ? Come on, now.
Sit down.
Stop your titivatin'.
Sorry, Mum.
Er We're eatin' out tonight.
It's business.
I'm sorry.
Call your brother.
He only listens to you.
Benny ! What's he playin' with ? An old shotgun cartridge.
Does nobody say grace any more ? He's got a brick in his hand.
GUNSHO Holy Mother of God ! You know he's soft in the head ! Benny ! Are you all right ? (LAUGHING) Look at you ! Geoff, we're goin' out.
I'll read the paper the day I'm in one.
And how far off is that (?) CAR DRIVES OFF HOOTING Bye ! Maura ! Stay with me tonight.
But Maggie and Dennis are outside.
Michael said I could go.
And is he God ? Puts the food on the table.
He took you from me when you were born.
I thought I could save you.
What from ? Save me from what ? You're old enough.
You know what he is.
He loves you.
He lies to me.
Where'd you get make-up ? I went shopping with Michael.
Oh, Mum, he only wants the best for this family.
And everybody loves him.
I've never known a baby walk and talk so early as Michael.
He had to.
I didn't have enough arms for you all.
I prayed for you to come .
.
and God answered me.
Don't end up like me.
Oh, Mum I want you to get what you want.
I want you to be able to choose.
And I just want to go out, Mum.
Ah, go on with you.
Margaret can't sit still.
Bye ! My mother used to say .
.
"Show me the company you keep and I'll tell you what you are.
" Never a truer word ! Filthy little bitch ! My brother Roy has been shunting your lovely daughter here.
You mind your mouth ! Mr Grierson, in three weeks Roy will marry Janine .
.
and give the baby a name.
The Ryan name.
Over my dead body.
Let's hope that's not necessary.
Look, Mr Grierson.
James.
May I call you James ? They're in love.
And Roy's doing the honourable thing.
It's not as if he had it on his toes, is it ? D'you know what they say about your family ? D'you know what they say about you ? Yeah.
That I'm a violent, perverted .
.
bender.
But nobody says it to my face, Mr Grierson.
Nobody.
Hello, Tommy.
Relax.
Just want a chat with you.
You are three weeks late - again.
And you made me come after you.
I tried to find you, Mickey.
Did you ? Yeah, honest.
So you tried to find us.
Don't you lie to me ! Now I'm gonna ask you a question.
Have you got the money ? Yeah, I've got it.
Good.
Don't worry.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
They are.
(SCREAM OF PAIN) (CRIES OF PAIN) Joe ?! Michael ! Tommy Blue's been taken care of.
It's peanuts, but word gets around.
Yeah.
Sit down, sit down.
What's that ? Joe, it's beautiful.
Yeah.
What's it for ? I feel happy.
Here.
Look at this.
South of Spain, half an hour from the Med.
Vineyard, a thousand acres.
Beautiful house ! Yeah.
I bought it for you.
I want us to go and live there.
I can't do that.
Daft ha'p'orth.
Don't start all that again.
There's nothing I think is too good for you.
Be like the old days, eh ? You should be somewhere beautiful.
I wanna see the sun on your back, .
.
little Michael.
Yeah.
I can see the attraction.
Maybe I could come out a few times a year, when business here's quiet.
(CHUCKLES) There'll be no business here ! We don't need it, with the amount they've offered.
It's silly money.
The Greeks ? That's right.
Everything.
We don't need to work no more.
That's why you told me to lay off them ? Yeah.
Just for a while.
Hiya, boys.
Help yourselves.
Give us a minute, will you ? They've come for their wages.
They'll be all right.
Yeah.
Course they will.
I dunno what I'd do without you, Joe I dunno what I'd do without you.
You'd wash less.
"LET'S TWIST AGAIN" by CHUBBY CHECKER He's just a blind date, Maurs.
You don't have to marry him.
You should've told me.
You wouldn't have come.
What if he's a creep with hands everywhere ? It's okay, Dennis is with me.
(LAUGHS) Maggie, men aren't allowed to breathe near me.
Like we did last year Do you remember when things were really hummin' ? I hate you.
Um Maura, this is Philip.
Hi, Philip.
And this is Margaret.
Hello, Philip.
Come on, Maggie.
Twist again like we did last summer Come on, let's twist again like we did last year DOG BARKING Joe wants you.
He can have the new management.
I'm on sick leave.
What ? He's sold us out, ain't he ? I sweated my bollocks off for that greasy bastard's piss-hole club .
.
so a Greek slag with a few quid can take it all away.
That's it, innit ? We're jackin' it in ? I bet you'd love that.
There's more to life than protection and loans.
Want to open a book shop (?) You talk about draggin' the family out of the sewer.
Now's your chance.
Nobody takes away what's mine.
We've all done well out of Joe the Fish.
We can stop playing hoodlums and set ourselves up.
Change the family for good.
Roy's gettin' married in three weeks It's mine ! I earnt it ! I paid for it with my body.
We're not kids any more, Mickey.
It doesn't have to hurt any more.
What would you know ? I've had enough, Maggie.
Me too.
The smell of his breath ! (BOTH LAUGH) "SPLISH SPLASH" I'm Terry.
I'm Maura.
Drink ? Scotch and dry, please.
Scotch and dry, please.
What happened to half a shandy ? I'm not a kid any more, Maggie.
We'd better dance, cos I can't afford to keep this up.
Come on.
There was Lollipop with Peggy Sue Good Golly Miss Molly was even there too Well, splish splash, forgot about the bath I went and put my dancin' shoes on I was rollin' and a-strollin', reelin' with a feelin', Movin' and a-groovin', splishin' and a-splashin' "DREAM LOVER" Cos I want a girl to call my own I work with Maggie.
We're typists for accountants in Charing Cross.
She used to bully me.
Then one day after school I slapped her one.
No, that sounds awful.
I didn't really hit her hard.
Anyway, been mates ever since.
Not used to drinking, are you ? I'm sorry.
So .
.
what do you do, Terry ? I'm a policeman.
You all right ? No.
He's a policeman.
Oh, no.
And your Anthony banged up, and the others What ? They're not the Krays, I suppose.
I'm not havin' a go at your family ! Don't give me that Ryan look.
It's just your mum's the only one who'd want him round for tea.
I can't see him again.
I'd never get away with it.
What if Mickey found out ? He has got a mouth like a three-course meal.
I can't lie about my family, Maggie.
Just don't mention 'em, pea-brain.
In confession I say I've sinned in a personal way.
I don't say I've had it off.
You don't have to marry him.
Hey.
Okay ? I'd take you to your door but I don't know where it is.
I can walk from here.
It's no trouble.
It's no trouble.
No ! Nothing can happen to me round here.
When can I see you again ? WALKS AWAY Oh, Anthony, you won't see your own brother's wedding.
How could you get yourself caught ? It won't happen again, Mum.
Your father wanted you all to be hard men.
And what are you ? A pack of villains ? Yes, you are.
It's not my problem.
It's yours now.
All I want is the dosh.
All right.
Tomorrow night at Nico's.
Shake and drink on it.
All right.
But none of that bloody ouzo stuff.
Rots my guts.
See you tomorrow.
Look forward to it HANGS UP We're in the money Tomorrow, then ? Yeah.
Poxy Greeks.
I'll miss Roy's.
You don't want me there anyway.
Not true.
A fat old queen showin' you up ? You know you're precious to me, Joe.
You do mean that, don't you ? Yeah ! I'll never forget what you done for me.
There's a lot more, Mickey.
It's not on paper but we don't need that.
Nah.
Everything I've got is half yours.
I couldn't accept half, Joe.
You haven't been around recently.
You wanna stay tonight ? I can't.
It's Roy's stag.
Yeah.
Keep your hands off that stripper.
Only make you jealous to keep you sweet.
You're soft as sugar inside, ain't ya, Michael Ryan ? I knew that the first time I met you Did ya ? I gotta run.
The rehearsal.
Yeah.
Then we return from signing the register, .
.
I bless the couple, .
.
and Mrs O'Shaughnessy murders "Ave Maria" on the organ.
Then you can all indulge in the Devil's own habits.
I don't like to ask but .
.
perhaps we could finalise the arrangements in the vestry ? I suppose I ought to Won't hear of it.
Tradition Tradition means nothing, James.
You done your bit by supplyin' the lovely bride.
And all those sausages.
Erm I wondered what you planned to wear.
Be a disaster if we both wore the same frock.
I doubt there's any danger of that.
Janine ? Come on, love.
You need to pray, you filthy little sod.
Michael, .
.
what do you want guns for ? We need arms, Father, to fight the Devil.
Maura ? Your bag, I believe, madam.
I was only returning your bag.
Yeah, I know.
You're a copper.
You follow people, spy on them.
Occasionally I perform a public service.
This church's card was in the bag.
I meant to give it to the priest.
What's the score, Maura ? Are your family religious fanatics ? Yeah.
That's it.
Fine.
No problem.
My address and phone number.
Next time, Maura, don't come on so strong.
It's not fair.
It hurts.
I didn't ask to meet you.
No, you didn't.
What about me ? I never said you could walk into my life.
Did I ? You screw it up and throw it away.
MUSIC: "THE STRIPPER" SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMEN DRUNKEN CHEERING I'll lock 'em up, keep one for tomorrow.

The world'll end if anyone touches me (!) I just don't want you - You don't want - I don't care ! You sound like the old woman.
You suffocate me ! Know why I'm always there for you ? Cos nobody was ever there for me.
I can't breathe ! I want my own life.
I want to learn ! You are a Ryan ! Yeah.
And I can't breathe ! (SOBBING) Shhh You know I only do what's best for you, Maurs.
Don't you ? I'd die for you.

They're cheaper than most people think.
I think she looks lovely.
Yeah.
But no-one's looking at her.
Come on.
BAND PLAYS IRISH JIG Mickey, they're not very happy.
You should've let them organise the wedding.
Don't worry about it, Mum.
Perhaps the band could keep it down.
I don't think it's their style.
Whatever you want.
Maybe they heard the groom was chained naked to the railings in Hyde Park last night It's not funny.
They're not like us.
You think they're better than us ?! BAND STOPS PLAYING Huh ! If you don't dance with me, .
.
I'll cut off your husband's cock and stick it in the pork chipolatas.
BAND PLAYS "WILD ROVER" It was him, wasn't it ? I got him, didn't I ? Lee ?! Yeah.

Joe.
Can you hear me, Joe ? Mickey ? (LABOURED BREATHING) You came.
Not too good, eh ? The doctors say you're gonna die, Joe.
Why'd the Greeks do this to me ? They didn't.
I did.
Even the cheap always want paying, Joe.
And I ain't cheap.
I'll get you a lovely wreath.
What do you want ? Irises ? Freesias ? (MUFFLED CRY) KNOCK AT DOOR You're not late.
I just wanted to see where you live.
In all its dismal glory.
Sorry about the mess.
You're too clever to be a policeman.
Maybe I'm too thick to do anything else.
(LAUGHS) You stole that from my bag.
Yes, I did.
You're a policeman and you stole it.
Er yes.
I'm sorry.
Please take it back.
You! (GIGGLING) I thought I'd never see you again.
My brother got married because he had to.
There are ways.
I'm a Catholic, remember.
Come to think of it, that's all I do know about you.
What if I said my family are villains and drunks ? I'd say it's a typical London family What if I said they killed happiness ? It's you I care about, not your family.
Can I borrow one of these ? Any one you want.
Too sad.
Oh, I dunno.
The Greeks'll go bloody crazy.
We can handle 'em.
We don't have to get involved.
We can do a deal.
This wasn't the only place turned over.
Now Joe's dead, every poxy outfit will try to muscle in.
We can put a stop to this now.
We plan to - tonight.
Why don't you stay in and watch telly, Geoff ? Oi ! Come out here, you filthy Greek ! SHO (YELLING IN GREEK) You smack the Greeks, they smack Garry, and on and on ! I dragged us out of a stinking pit.
I ain't gonna let some bastard shove us back in and bury us.
I don't want to bury you.
If we move now, we can take the West End.
We can take Soho.
Soho isn't our patch.
It will be.
They ain't got the bottle to stop us I just need to know if I've got my right hand.
I don't know, Mickey.
You think I want to end up inside ? Or dead ? Two years - give it that.
We'll make enough to get out.
I swear to you.
We've enough enemies outside this family.
You're my brother.
I can't do it without you.
I need you.
(WHISTLING A TUNE) (SHOUTING IN GREEK) We tried to protect you from all this, but it's too late now.
Tell 'em the Ryans are in charge now Wherever you go .
.
we'll be right behind you.
I swear it on my brother's life.

Yes, I did.
You're a policeman and you stole it.
Er yes.
I'm sorry.
Please take it back.
You! (GIGGLING) I thought I'd never see you again.
My brother got married because he had to.
There are ways.
I'm a Catholic, remember.
Come to think of it, that's all I do know about you.
What if I said my family are villains and drunks ? I'd say it's a typical London family What if I said they killed happiness ? It's you I care about, not your family.
Can I borrow one of these ? Any one you want.
Too sad.
Oh, I dunno.
The Greeks'll go bloody crazy.
We can handle 'em.
We don't have to get involved.
We can do a deal.

I don't want to bury you.
If we move now, we can take the West End.
We can take Soho.
Soho isn't our patch.
It will be.
They ain't got the bottle to stop us I just need to know if I've got my right hand.
I don't know, Mickey.
You think I want to end up inside ? Or dead ? Two years - give it that.
We'll make enough to get out.

We've enough enemies outside this family.
You're my brother.
I can't do it without you.
I need you.
