Cal (2013) Movie Script

Further rioting took
police across the globe last
night on the eve of another
crisis summit of the G-20,
experts are estimating at
world wide to date that the
civil descent has called in
excess of twenty-six billion
dollars worth of damage
to public buildings,
lost tourism, and public
sector strikes.
Here in the UK, the
metropolitan police are
cutting costs to police
overtime the last six months
at over forty
million pounds.
When challenged by the
opposition leader to put a
price on the riots in England
the prime minister suggested
that the violence seen in
the UK was contained and not
comparable to other
countries were lawlessness and
government corruption on
financial irresponsibility
has recently come
to light.
Political analysts saw this
as a direct comment on the
unearthing of financial
anomalies on the levels
of debt construed by some
European administrations
following the withdrawal
from the Euro
by both Greece
and Portugal.
As has become the norm of late,
no government minister
was prepared to come on
the program this morning
to discuss the
situation.
The chancellor will be making
a statement to the house
later today ahead of the
second emergency budget that
he will be presenting to
the commons next week.
The pressure is on him to
reverse what some consider
to be peculiar cuts in public
services that have seen
waiting lists increase
hospitals across England,
schools having to lay off much
needed classroom assistance,
and fire and rescue services
holding fund raising events to
pay for much equipment
in rural areas...

in the background]
[A crying baby]
[Police sirens from the distance]
[A knock at the door]

I reckon you just

She don't know you're coming.
It was idea you see.
Proper hard times it is.
You got any money on you?
You might qualify
for a funeral loan.
We thought about that.
What have you been up to.
What am I going to do
I'm just a lodger here you see?
I ain't got no where to go, but
I've been part of the family...
Brought you up didn't I.
When she went inside.
Do you think the counsel
would give me the house?
I mean sitting tenant like it
don't seem right going to
some foreign family.
Know what I mean?
Lots of memories here.
[Car alarm in the distance]
[Man cursing in the distance]
Who are you?
Her son.
How she doing?
Comfortable.
She never mentioned you.
Did she do these?
Yea, she works on them everyday.
Visiting time is over.
I'm afraid you are
going to have to leave.
[Phone ringing]
So, my colleague tells me
you're here to sign on.
I have a few questions first
to see if we have any suitable
positions available.
Do you have any ID?
I looked at the boards and stuff.
Didn't see nothing.
No jobs.
Well let's remain
positive for now shall we.
What age are you?
Twenty one.
Any qualifications?
No.
Where have you been working?
Traveling Europe - working
in kitchens and stuff.
Kitchen help or cooking?
Anything I could find.
And how long have
you been doing this?
About three years.
Do you have any proof
of employment history?
Not on me.
Well, without this information
it might affect your claim.
We need proof of you being
displaced if we're to proceed.
Any claim might be affected if
you took yourself out of a job.
Look.
I came home because my
mum is in the hospital.
I am looking for work, but I
need help with rent and stuff.
I've only got a few quid left
and I need food and that.
Where are you staying?
At my mum's.
Can I get any help?
Would you say that
you were her carer?
No.
She's in hospital.
Look, can I make a claim?
[phone ringing]
What the fuck!
Get off me!
I said get off me you drunk cow!
I will screw you straight.
Your mum.
[Drunken mumbling]
There is a phenomenon
spreading across the UK.
Occupancy.
We first saw it in Athens, then
Spain, with rapid growth across
America and eighty
countries around the world.
Now here in Bristol we
have a group of protestors
threatening to occupy College Green.
The general thrust of their
protest is to highlight job
prospects with the focus of
responsibility firming on the
shoulders of corporate greed
and financial mismanagement by
governments and banks
bailed out by the tax payer.
The general feel here is
peaceful but a sense
that events could rapidly escalate.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
I just want to go downtown
and give them a
piece of my mind.
This is absolutely evil.
So your benefit has been cut?
Yes my benefit has been cut.
I used to get a
hundred pound a week
and now it has drop down
to twenty pound a week.
I'm thinking how
am I going to pay.
How am I going to cope?
Feeding the baby or
just taking my medication.
I can't.
Its just impossible.

Do as I say.
You understand?
I own you boy.
Please!
[Man screaming]
Oi!
Piss off.
There is nothing to see here.
Leave him alone.
I said there is nothing to see here.
I said.
Leave him alone.
You what?
This is now mine.
Just leave it.
For fucks sake.
My fucking passport!
Oi!
You want this back?
Just give it back.
Get in.
[Wind chimes]
No extra charge you have two
cocks to play with tonight.
Enjoy.
I love cock suckers.
I love capitalism.
It killed communism
and now it's killing me
with its generosity.
Jason, take him and give
our regular bonus to Ryan.
I counted this for you.
Open the bloody door!
Open the fucking door!
Where's Cal?
I thought you said you didn't
want him anywhere near you.
I didn't want him to see me.
Not like this. That's all.
Of course not, credit me Cath.
(church bells)
(moaning)
(laughing)
[Dog barking]
Where's that bloke?
Ivan?
I don't know where he lives.
You got to get me
my passport back.
How?
Why don't you go get us
some drinks with that.
(sirens)
(helicopter)
Careful mate.
Foofs up there.
Fucking damn it.
Let me see your face.
Get the fucking stuff.
Do it.
(yelling) Sweetheart.
I'm sorry.
Move the fucker.
Scumbag.
Where's the stuff?
What are you talking about?
Where's the stuff?
7.43 and some ID please.
I need first aid kits.
I said I need some ID please.
Reports that a fire engine
was attacked earlier as it was
trying to attend a building
reported as a squat which had
been set of fire deliberately.
The flash point for tonight
violence appears to be favoured
on one particular super market
chain, and footage sent to
IBN earlier this evening clearly
shows at one point
the police losing control
of the situation.
Well it's not
going down very well.
The comments made by prime
minister yesterday describing
these protestors as
nothing more than ...
[commotion & yelling]
Not the place for millionaire
politicians to criticize those
on the front line of the cuts.
This is Phil Trip.
IBM.
Back to the studio.
Ow!
I found it.
That's mine!
Lets fuck this place up.
Get the fuck out of here!
We should go.
You can't.
They took his drugs.
He's going to kill me.
I'm fucked.
That cunt's really missing you.
He's gonna kill me.
What's your story lad?
Nothing special.
How bout yours?
I used to study drama.
I shouldn't have let
him come though
and I got behind on rent.
So my landlord
introduced me to Ivan.
One introduction I
had my rent paid
and my cock sucked.
It was easy.
Why didn't you ask
your parents for help?
I couldn't.
My dad had just lost his job
and going though the house
getting repossessed.
Anyway, next rent came due
and Ivan appeared again.
This time the partner was gross.
I said I couldn't.
So he softened me up with
some Charlie and that's it.
I'm a clich now -
thrown off my course.
My parents
won't talk to me.
There's worse
things I could be doing.
Could be mugging old ladies.
What about yours?
Come on, tell me something.
What's your favorite color?
I'm going to guess blue.
Cause you look a
little down today.
It's been a fucked up day.
Is this your mum's place?
Will she mind me being here?
She won't even know.
Why?
We like that t-shirt.
Fits well dunnit.
Very nice.
Very very nice.
So does he snore then?
Does he?
Oh, this is why your door
was locked last night then.
Had your boyfriend
round didn't ya?
I won't tell your mum
though she won't approve.
She don't get it, but I'm
alright with it though.
Sort of... I don't
mind sharing ya...
Neither did she...
Shit it's too early
to talk about all that.
Come on here and have a drink.
Lovely looking boy.
Jason.
Lovely name too.
Looks good in boxers.
It's not my boyfriend.
He helped me out last night.
Like I said I will be
out here later today.
At least you got some
milk with my money then.
No food though?
I was gonna, but...
Well I got your mum
a lil gift from you.
I'll be off then.
Thanks for your help last night.
You can stay
longer if you need to.
Get yourself sorted.
Are you kidding?
I've got to pay Ivan
back for all that gear.
He won't let that go.
I've got to work.
Don't look at me like that.
Don't you dare moralize.
I'm at rock bottom.
What about you?
You know my story. I
don't know yours.
I know your mum's dying.
She's been in prison
she's fucked you up I guess.
Fucking velvet rage.
Did I touch a
nerve or something?
Maybe I'll stick around to hear
another installment
from your Auntie Jane.
Look I didn't mean that.
I'm sorry.
It's your business.
I am grateful for last night.
And I could do it another
night away from...
Here.
Take this.
Go get some food.
You look like you're going out.
Probably best if I didn't go.
(phone ringing)
So would you say that you
were your mother's carer?
I've been though
this with you already.
Look.
Can I get some money
or at least a job?
Well.
It's a little more
complicated then that.
You brought your documents in.
That's good.
We've made some copies
now I'm just going to
put you in the system.
I'm already in
the fucking system!
Unfortunately without a clear
employment history or record
of tax contributions there
is no great deal we can
do for your present.
Your claim is being rejected.
Well, thanks a fucking bunch!
Enjoy your coffee and your life.
Where's Jane?
She has gone to
hospital to see your mum.
For fucks sake!
What?
Hey, you alright?
Yea.
Can I get a smoke from you?
Well, what's your name?
I'm Cal.
What's your name bud?
I'm Keith.
How you doing?
You hiring?
Does this look like a job center?
I seem smelly?
It's what you want boy.
Somebody get me started.
It's a new economy out there.
Five hundreds notes
will get you signed up.
Even junkies are in a recession.
Mrs. Miller.
I understand you spoken
to one of the team
and you've asked not to
be resuscitated.
Just need to check that you
understand what you are saying
and I'm also wondering have you
spoken this over with your son?
I didn't want him to
have to make this decision.
Hey, got any jobs?
Grunts work.
Cleaning pans washing floors.
Six pounds a hour
with references.
I've worked in European
kitchens as a sous chef.
Six pound a hour
with references.
Three pounds without.
No food prep just cleaning.
You got a uniform?
I got whites.
But no references?
No.
I can batinette, dice,
allumette, mince, julienne...
But no references.
Not on me.
Look.
I will work for free
for a week to prove it.
Shit.
We're fucked!
The whole place stink.
I've got a idea.
But I don't think you
are going to like it.
We don't have any buckets.
Relax.
She's got everything we need.
I think this is it.
Excellent, come on in.

Oi. How much we'd get?
Ha ha.
Come on show me.
Fucking hell.
Like you said.
Easy money.
Get in.
I know you won't like this but
he he's got a lovely boyfriend.
Good influence I think.
You know, nicely spoken too.
Student I think.
Got a few issues. If
you know what I mean.
I ain't heard no shagging
so he might be a
catholic or something.
Still, lovely
none the same.
Shut my mouth shouldn't I?
You don't want to hear
about muggers and all.
What am I saying?
How you doing?
Is it nice to have Cal back?
Have you told him
what's going on yet?
How bad it is.
You don't exactly
know what's going on
but he ain't stupid, Cath.
It's the last days innit.
I'm sorry.
It's just so hard.
I want to tell him but I
won't. You got to do it.
Do you hear me?
How's the art therapy going then?
Let's have a look.
Oh.
That's beautiful Cath.
It's really getting there.
It's proper gorgeous that is.
Wait till he sees it.
Jane says your mum
hates you being gay.
What else did she tell you?
Not a lot.
Do you want to go back to Uni?
Do you want to go
back to France?
It's a bit hard
without my bloody passport.
Come on let's go.
So, do you have a boyfriend?
Had.
What happened?
How'd you get in here?
Don't want to tell
you to fuck off.
I don't want to see you.
I don't want you here.
Janie tells me you're
still a shirt lifter.
Queer.
Faggot.
It's hard to reckon
with you being mine.
Fuck off.
Please.
Get out of here.
You come to kill me with
your dirty homo kissing.
Come to see your dying mum.
Bring her chocolates and flowers.
Get out of here.
Shall I put the chair
out in front of the door?
Don't bother.
It's probably the drugs
that made your mum so harsh.
Whatever.
What she can't
see won't hurt her.
(moaning)
Oi!
And what is wrong with tea?
I don't like it without milk.
Well good job I bought
some last night then.
Sugar?
Fuckin hell. You got sugar too?
I think we all got
some sugar last night.
And if you didn't well
honestly you should have.
I thought you gays were
at it like rabbits.
Almost as manly as Mick here.
We went a little gay ourselves
last night didn't we?
Walked on the wild side.
God my ass is raw this morning.
I'm sorry are you going in?
Thinking about it.
Who did you want to see?
Me mum.
Cath Miller.
Ah.
Has anyone told
you what to expect?
Nothing.
The prognosis isn't good.
You've arrived just in time.
Cause I'm not sure she's
going to pull through.
Of course we are making her
as comfortable as possible and
treating the pain with as
much permitted medication
as we can.
And she's very strong.
But I don't think its
going to be very long now.
How long?
Very soon.
You being here will help.
She has been telling us
all about your travels
you've just come back from
France is that right?
Good afternoon ladies.
What you looking at?
Nothing.
Be happy.
I don't care if his dick
smells like rotting flesh
if he wants it sucked,
you fucking suck it.
Just like a real professional.
Jason come.
Jason.
Where's Jason?
Jason.
Jason.
(beep beep)
(dog barking)
Come on.
Let him out.
Where are you headed?
I have a little business for
you and for you to if you're
interested it's worth
five hundred pounds each
and no sex involved.
Well, I can always find
someone else if you like to go
with him but I thought
maybe you like to help out.
Five hundred plus your passport.
Half up front.
What are you waiting for?
Get out.
What's out there?
Opportunity and a
this and money.
Maybe you can buy your
sick mother some flowers.
How about that?
I know everything. Jason
he tells me everything.
You know the story of
the scorpion and the frog?
I tell you.
So this a, this frog he
carries scorpion across the
river and half way across the
scorpion he sting the frog.
The frog ask, "Why?"
The scorpion say a,
"Because it's in my nature."
Jason is same.
Like me, we a don't
change, we survive
because it's in our nature.
Now get out.
And help carry him across the river.
Keep going.
Keep going little froggy.
Jesus, what the fuck?
Just a little more.
Okay now.
Take off all your clothes.
No arguments.
Quick now.
Yea.
Okay.
Now my client would
like you both to a fight.
I'll never understand you queers.
What, you suck a cock
but you won't throw punch?
Okay okay I make choice you
a fight or I kill you both.
Now.
Starting with your girlfriend.
Fake it. It's the only
way we're gonna live.
C'mon!
Hit me!
Hit me!
Shame on you.
Shame on you.

(sirens) Come on!

The client will be pleased.

Yes.
Don't worry I give you a little extra.
Now help me get him closer.
Get out!
Jason. Get the clothes

Oh god.
Oh no.
Please don't kill us.
I didn't mean it.
I'll give you money
anything you want.
Shut up and come here.
(crying)
What you going to

You won't get away with this.
I know where you live.
And I probably know your mother.
Maybe she work for me huh?
Another loser whore
