If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still

Cos I'm as free

Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
And the bird

And this bird

Lord knows, I can't change

Come in. Over.
Unit 3601,
are you receiving me?
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
Still can't believe
you left the box
and fucking shot a geezer.
It was an accident, I swear!
You showed him
your fucking face!
I know, right? I messed up!
I told you a million times,
keep your fucking distance.
Now look what's happened.
(TOOL WHIRRING)
-(METAL LOCK CLATTERS)
-(TOOL TURNS OFF)
What?
I don't understand.
You told me there'd
be 50 large in that box.
We've just done a cozzer
and shot a security guard
in broad fucking daylight
for a poxy two-and-a-half
grand in fivers.
-I was just trying to help.
-(SHOUTS) Help?
You do know that we're looking
at a ten-stretch for this?
You fucked up well and truly
on this one, son.
Now, please,
get rid of that motor.
I... I can't tonight, mate.
I got something on.
-What about my half?
-Having a fucking laugh,
ain't ya?
Here's your half.

-(BOX CLATTERS)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Mate, I'm so sorry.
I did not mean to do that.
Now where you going?
Oh, for fuck's sake, Ken,
I just said I'm sorry.
Mate?
You walk away from me now,
don't ever bother coming back.
I mean it.
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
(ENGINE TURNS OFF)
(EXCLAIMS) You scared
the life out of me.
(GROANS)
-Fucking fivers?
-What are you talking about?
There was only two-and-a-half
grand in that box.
I don't understand, mate.
There's usually loads of cash
in there.
Well, there's wasn't,
was there?
What about my cut?
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
No-one's getting any cuts.
Come on, mate.
I was relying on that dough.
What about the other guard?
He's in hospital, Ken.
You shot him.
Like, this was supposed to be
a quick blag,
not attempted murder!
And you let him see your face.
What do you want me to do?
Get up that hospital
and make it go away.
Or you'll be joining him.
OK.
I'll sort it, I promise.
You better.

-They loved you out there.
-You know me.
Gotta give 'em what they want.

-I've got a slight problem.
-Oh, yeah?
I ain't got the 20k
for the pills.
That's not a slight problem,
Patrick.
You know we don't do tick.
I know, but I was thinking,
you know,
if you was to help me out,
I could make this seriously
worth your while.
Go on.
Well, you front me
on the round ones
and I guarantee I'll get rid
of them by the weekend.
And on top of that,
I'll pay you double
for the first lot.
That's 40k.
Doesn't leave very much
for you, does it?
I'll speak to my brothers.
I'll let you know.
-You know when?
-When we're ready.
We're done now.
I'll be in touch.
Very sloppy work yesterday,
I hear.
Your boy dropped a bollock.
-Just like his old man.
-He's all right.
Is he?
Little boys should be seen
and not heard.
You're making too much noise,
Patrick.
There's a system
to this business.
You'd do well
to remember that.

Hello, you. (KISSES)
Have you just got back?
You know me, babe.

WOMAN: I've been down there
watching the sun come up.
-What was that about, then?
-Nothing.
-Just an old friend.
-Yeah? Pat Tate?
Do you know him?
Sort of.
Anyway, forget about
old friends.
Here's to new ones.
(MOBILE PHONE RINGING)
-Hello?
- (ON PHONE) Sam, it's Pat.
Please tell me
you've heard from Kenny.
No, I ain't seen him, mate.
Is there a problem?
I can't get hold of him.
That's all.
Well, if I see him,
I'll let you know.
Cheers.
Are you mad?
Armed robbery
in broad daylight?
Haven't you learnt nothing?
So what you gonna do now?
I'm done with Essex.
To be honest,
I need a break from Pat.
Me and Billy are setting up
on our own.
Not Billy the Kid?
Yeah.
-So it's drugs, then?
-Don't matter what it is.
I just need 25 grand
to spot me in.
Kenny, Kenny.
That's a slippery slope, son.
Can you help or not?
I've been looking after
your old man's money
since he's been away.
I can have it to you by
tomorrow. How's that?
-I can't take my dad's money.
-It's a loan, innit?
(PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING)
Yeah. Thanks, Sam.
Come here.
MAN: Come on tae fuck, Billy.
Your mum hit me
harder than that.
God rest her soul.
What's the matter with you,
you fairy?
You're a waste of space.
What's the matter with you?
Fucking hit him, you poof!
-(GRUNTS)
-Now, that's more like it!
That's my boy.
That's why they call him
Billy the Kid.

All right, Fergus?
Cor, you smell that?
Smells like shit.
-Hey, let's go.
-FERGUS: Where are you going?
-Out.
-Oi, don't get lippy with me.
I want you back
by the weekend.
It's your birthday.
I've got something planned.
You two, in.
MAN: All right, sweetheart?
Want a wee cupcake
or something?
Get the fuck out of my ring!
On the bag, move!
KENNY:
I think your dad hates me.
BILLY: Nah,
don't worry about it.
He hates everyone.
I take it you've got it?
KENNY: Yeah.
Twenty-five grand.
My dad's nicer than yours.
(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
Patrick.
You all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Don't fucking move.
Forty grand.

We're here to see Mo.
In there, lads. Straight down.
This way, gentlemen.
Sometimes I feel
I've got to
Run away, I've got to
Get away from the pain
you drive...

Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light

Wanna come home

She a bit of you, Ken?

No, not really, mate.
Take my tears
and that's not nearly all
Does your dad know?
You know, that you're a...
What?
-You know.
-(BILLY SCOFFS)
Run away, I've got to
Shall I get him
one of my posters, eh?
You know what he says.
"Funniest thing in the West
in high heels."
He'd love that.
So, no, mate.
Would you tell him?
-No, fuck that.
-(BOTH CHUCKLE)
He'd have a heart attack.
I'm sorry
I don't pray that way
-Once I ran to you
-I ran
I will tell him, though.
This tainted love
you've given
I give you all
a boy could give you
It's gonna be all right this,
ain't it? Just the two of us.
Yeah.

He will see you now.
To new opportunities.
I love you though
you hurt me so
Now I'm gonna pack my things
and go

you are ready
to step up to the big time.
Good.
(FLY BUZZING)
(CHUCKLES)
Tell me.
Have you heard the story
of the two little flies
who had their fill of food?
Buzzing around, they came
across an open jar of honey.
Now, driven by greed,
they swooped in and ate
all that they could.
But when it was time
for them to go,
they couldn't get out.
Because their little feet had
become stuck to the jar.
Do you know what happens next?
(CHUCKLES)
Mate, are we dealing or not?
(CHUCKLES)
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
The only way the poor little
flies could get out...
was by losing
their fucking legs.
-(BILLY CRIES OUT)
-What the fuck are you...
(KENNY GRUNTING, YELLING)
Bloody kids.
Oi, mate.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Two, three...
four, five.
Fuck you, Ken.
Six, seven, eight, nine...
ten, eleven...
And one more for bollicky Ken.
Twelve.
(MOBILE PHONE RINGING)
About fucking time. Hello?
Jan, just... slow down.
Slow down.
Talk to me. Who's dead?
(SOMBRE MUSIC PLAYING)
JAN: When he was 16,
he went down to the seaside
with some of his mates.
They thought it'd be funny
if they untied a fishing boat
and let it float out to sea.
But Kenny,
he felt bad for the owner
so he swam in
and he brought it back.
When he got out, his mates,
they'd stolen his clothes.
He always had a thing about
hanging around
with the wrong people.
(TEARFULLY) Why, Kenny?
(SOBS)
I know he wasn't perfect
but he had a good heart.
(SOBS)
Mrs Knight? This is DCI Jones
and DI Monroe.
Would you care to accompany me
to identify the body?
Jan.
I don't want you
going in there.
Let me do this, please.
So, Mr Tate?
For the record,
can you confirm
the ID of the body before you
is that of a one Kenneth Knight,
deceased?
Yeah, I can confirm
that's Kenny Knight.
Hold on a minute.
Who did this to him?
We don't know but we will,
I can assure you.
Whoever it was, looks like
they done a right job on him.
MONROE: What we do know
is that Kenny was involved
in an armed robbery
a few days ago.
Oh, yeah?
You wouldn't know anything
about that, would you?
Me? No.
JONES: Cos he wasn't alone.
Where were you Monday morning
at 10:00, Mr Tate?
Do you really wanna
do this here, now?
We could go down
to the station.
I'll ask you again.
Where were you?
-I can't fucking believe this.
-Answer the question.
I was at home.
And someone can verify that?
No.
Well,
I'll leave you to your grief.
We will need
to speak to you again.
(SOMBRE MUSIC PLAYING)
You know,
he thought the world of you.
Likewise.
Who could do such a thing?
-I mean, the thought that...
-Jan.
Look, I promise you,
as true as I'm standing here,
I will find out who did this.
But it's not gonna bring him
back, though, is it?
-(DOORBELL RINGS)
-(SOBS)
I'll get it.
JAN: Who is it?
It's all right, Jan, I got it.
What d'you fucking want?
You can fuck right off because
you are not welcome here.
JAN: Pat?
Oh, Joey.
Jan.
I heard about Kenny.
I'm so sorry.
Thank you.
Come in.
Let's have a cup of tea.
Jan, I need
just two minutes with Joey.
Fucking hell!
What are you doing here,
you little parasite?
I come to pay my respects,
we were in school together.
We were like brothers!
-Yeah?
-Yeah!
So what do you know
about what happened?
Nothing.
I'm out the game, ain't I?
Well, you're about
to get back in the game.
Nah.
Not after what happened.
Look at my face.
You fed me to the dogs.
Yeah, well,
that weren't my call.
Now I need to know something.
Did Kenny ever mention to you
anything to do with Soho?
What, London? No.
That's not our manor, is it?
It's a different world.
Listen, Joey,
I need your help.
I'm out, Pat.
Right? I mean it.
I'm out.
But I'll help ya.
For Kenny.
You mark my words.
I am gonna get
whoever did this.
And when I do,
I am gonna bathe
in their blood.
Now, this is what
I need you to do.
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)
SAM: Hello, Dan, how are ya?
Good. Straight in.
Yeah, mate, straight in.
How are ya? Nice to see ya.
Oi, where the fuck you been?
I've been calling you all day.
Well, good evening
to you, too.
-What's the matter?
-You tell me.
-Mate, calm yourself down.
-I'm fucking talking.
I'm not gonna
ask you again, Sam.
Where the fuck you been?
Mate, I told you
to calm yourself down.
That is a very firm finger.

he's a fucking mug
when he wakes up.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
What's the matter with you?
Calm down. Eh?
We're outside my club.
Now, what's happened?
I'll tell you what's happened.
Kenny's dead.
What?
Kenny's dead.

(LAUGHTER, CHATTER)
Johnny, I'm so sorry, mate.
I trusted my little boy
to you, Sam.
-What happened?
-Trust me, John, we're on it.
I don't remember putting
your name on the VO, Pat.
I'll get to you in a minute.
Talk to me, Sam.
What happened?
All I know is,
Billy the Kid was involved.
Who's Billy the Kid?
Carry on, Sam.
That's it. That's all I know.
(STIFLED SOB)
As far as I'm concerned,
I'm holding you
responsible for this, Pat.
SAM: John, we will sort this.
I promise you.

You're going to
make this right.
Do you understand me?

-Any problems?
-Mm.

-No.
You won't be hearing
from him again.
Good.
Listen,
you keep your powder dry.
I may have someone else
for you to deal with.
How soon?
I'll know in a couple of days.
I'll be on this number.
Kash will show you out.
What do you need him for?
I could take care
of Tate myself.
Don't get all excited.
It's just a precaution.
Hopefully, he'll come good.

-Can we help ya?
-PAT: All right, mate. Yeah.
I'm looking for a fella called
Billy the Kid. Is he about?
Never heard of him.
Look,
I'm not here for aggravation.
I just want to know
where he is.
Are you deaf?
We ain't heard of him.
-On your bike!
-Oi! Stand down.
-And who are you?
-Me?
I'm the fucking boogeyman.
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah, well, I'll remember that
when I go to sleep tonight.
Like I said to him,
I'm not here for aggravation.
I just want to know
where Billy is.
I just wanna talk to him.
I don't know you from Adam.
So my Billy is
no concern of yours.
Yeah, well, he is now.
Because my mate is lying dead
on a slab in a morgue
and your boy's mixed up in it.
So I'm gonna ask you
one more time.
Where is he?
If my boy is mixed up
in something,
I'll be the one
to deal with it, not you.
-I think we're done here.
-I came here for your help.
Now, we can either do this
the easy way...
or the hard way.
(CHUCKLES)
Craig!
Park this gentleman's car
for me, will ye?
What can I say?
I fucking love the hard way.

MONROE: Look who it is.
-Our old friend Mr Tate.
-JONES: Come on, then.
We ain't disturbing anything,
are we?
(MAN GROANS)
No, no, no, Officer.
Just a wee accident. You know
what scrapyards are like, eh?
Shite everywhere.
And what brings you here,
Mr Tate?
Just running a little bit
of scrap in, that's all.
Yeah, well, we're gonna need
that statement from you.
Yeah, when it's convenient.
Well, it's convenient
for us now.
Or we could just arrest ya.
Fair enough.
I could do with a lift,
anyway.
We're looking to talk
to your son, Billy.
It's in connection to
the murder of Kenny Knight.
Mrs Knight tells us that
they were good friends.
Never heard of him. But then,
Billy's got lots of pals.
When's the last time
you spoke with him?
-I saw him this morning.
-Do you know where he is now?
Aye, he's out and about
running me some errands.
Oh, it's good to hear
that he's OK.
Soon as he's back,
get him to give us a call.
Oh, do you know anything
about Freedom night club?
Never heard of it.
OK, Fergus?
What do you want me to do?
Find my fucking son.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
We know you were
at the robbery.
All the statements
read the same.
They describe a man
fitting your build.
Save us all a load
of aggravation
and just come clean.
What you gonna get, seven?
Probably do four.
-You ain't got nothing on me.
-MONROE: Pat.
We found the car in a lock-up.
Along with this.
-What's that?
-(SCOFFS)
Look, it's only
a matter of time
before your prints turn up
all over it.
I wasn't there. I was at home.
(SCOFFS) Funny, that.
Must've been a bit of a shock.
Only, what, 2,500 in fivers?
(CHUCKLES)
Did you have
a little fall-out?
Thieves falling out over
a pot of gold and all that.
Is that why Kenny's laying
on the slab? Did you kill him?
Is that it, Mr Tate? Cos at
the moment, you're looking at
armed robbery
and wounding with intent.
And now, a suspect to murder.
I didn't kill him.
He was my mate.
(JONES SIGHS)
Do you know
a William Campbell,
also known as Billy the Kid?
Never heard of him.

they'd stolen his clothes.

hanging around
with the wrong people.
