Chris Greig & The Merchants [Sick To Death]
I'm so sick to death
You treat me like the rest
And I'm so sick to death
You put my patience to the test
You're wasting all my time
Why don't you do it right?
Well are you even mine?
Is this just a lie
Whoo!
You treat me like the rest
There we go sir.
And I'll have the rest of
that stuff for you on Wednesday.
See you then. Thank you.
See you later.
Bye.
Thank you.
And what can I get you?
Can I get a mixture?
How much?
37 pence.
Let me see what I've
got through the back.
Come on then.
Alright.
Beat it
Passport.
[clicks fingers]
What's with the camera?
Insurance.
What will I call you two then?
Nothing.
Relax.
Address.
What?
Is that necessary?
1497 Oaklaw Avenue.
Ready?
Should I smile?
You do what you like, son.
If this gets out it won't make a difference whether
it's a photo with your dick down your dad's throat.
This place is awful.
We'll just have to slum it, darling.
It won't be for long.
Finley. Elbows.
Can I get you guys
any other drinks today?
Just three cokes and
another coffee, please.
Three cokes and another coffee for yourself.
That's not a problem.
I'll get them right over.
Okay, so we all done here?
Can I get you anything else? Teas or coffees?
Cheeseburger and chips.
That's mine, thanks.
Chicken and cajun fries.
That's mine.
Excuse me.
I'm still waiting for my refill.
Orange juice isn't on the free refills I'm afraid.
[Baby crying]
Why not?
It's just drafts.
Well, it doesn't say so on the menu.
It does.
Where?
[Baby crying]
In the bottom.
Could I have a new knife, please?
What's wrong with that one?
It's absolutely filthy.
Where?
I don't see it.
Do you see it, darling?
[Baby crying]
Nope.
Bottom, right.
Really? The print is tiny.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Can someone just shut him up?!
Dear goodness.
What is your problem?
Do you not like kids?
Not particularly, no.
Sara
A word, please.
How you doing, Kate?
Good. Got a smoke?
Something better?
Chicken and chips.
How's your day been?
I got my final warning.
You better watch yourself.
He's after you.
Nah.
I deserved it.
I was an asshole.
I can't wait to see his face when he finds out
you're feeding the ex-junkie out the back free food?
Can I ask you something?
You got kids?
Aye. Two.
Love kids.
They're with their Dad, though.
I mean, I love them, but
I can't look after them.
Look at the state of me.
How you doing, Kate?
She's fine.
Who's that?
Just a pal.
What's in the bag?
Just something's she owes.
So drugs?
No.
I told you
I don't touch that stuff anymore.
Same time tomorrow?
[Car alarm]
[Distant rustling]
[Man screams in fear]
[Car alarm going off]
Mr. Green? Move out.
You don't touch her again.
I don't understand.
Do you understand now?
Okay.
Well go on.
[Female voice through headphones]
I know I left you alone to grow up
much earlier than either me or you were expecting.
I also know this made you very grumpy.
I mean, who we kidding?
You were always very grumpy
unless I took you to the beach.
Do you remember that, still?
You used to come home with a thousand
seashells squished into
your wee tiny pockets.
So anytime you're sad, I want you to
remember our visits to
the beach, to the seaside.
Can you still see it fast?
Me and Susie Sue stole

Me and Susie Sue stole
seashells from the sandy seashore.
[LAUGHS]
Right, now you say it five times fast.
[LAUGHS]
You take care of yourself.
And you take care of others.
[Tapping & rustling]
[Distant rustling]
Jesus Christ, Jim.
Morning.
What are you doing here? I nearly bottled you.
You didn't come by this morning.
I just woke up.
Look at the state of this place.
I've been busy.
So I see.
Here, here you are.
Thanks.
Christ sake Sara. You need to get a grip of yourself.
Look, I've got things to do. Can we catch up later?
Like what?
I need to go to work.
What happened there?
Nothing. I chipped it on a tool.
[Scoffs] Tool.
Jim?
Fine. I'll go.
But you look like you're in need of some fresh air.
And I know what I need.
Eggs. Yeah, I know.
Ah well, you know where I am if you need me.
Do yourself a favour Sara.
Get this place tidied up. It's a bloody riot.
Yep.
[Knocks at the door]
[Knocks at the door]
Who is it?
[Sara, behind door] Baba Joe's. I've got a home delivery.
Yeah. I didn't order anything.
[Sara, behind door] Well I've got a
spicy chicken pizza for Tom Osbourne.
Catch.
You know
I hope that tissue has only
been used to blow your nose.
I should cut it off.
If you ever go near anyone again, if you
so much as a look at one,
understand?
Do you understand?
[Distant, muffled sneeze]
[Sara screams]
[Bone crunching]
Do you live alone?
Yep.
Do you have any kids?
No I don't have any kids.
Why not you're old enough?
Where's your Mum? Or your Dad?
I've never had a mum.
Ok, don't touch that.
Sit.
Are you some sort of police officer?
No I'm not a police officer.
Are you hungry?
Well what do you eat?
Coco Pops.
I don't have Coco Pops.
Pop Tarts?
No.
Bacon?
I've got bread.
Eggs?
Probably.
Can you make French toast?
No.
Why not?
Because I don't know how.
But I can make you regular toast.
So, what's your name?
George.
George, what?
I can't tell you.
Why not?
I'm not meant to talk to strangers.
Alright, George.
I need to jump outside
and make a quick phone call.
Is there any questions?
Have you got anything you need?
Yes.
Jam.
Okay. I can't guarantee it's in date.
[phone ringing]
[Darshan on phone] You shouldn't be calling.
It's important.
[Darshan on phone] Look, I'll be in contact later.
No you won't. We have a problem now.
Get your arse over here.
[phone disconnects]
[Characters on TV] Rise. Rise I say
[Characters on TV] Turn. Use this prayer in your...
[Knocking on door]
[Knocks at door]
Alright.
Hi.
Who is this?
Come on.
So, who is he?
George?
He hasn't given me his last name.
Right. Where did he come from?
Where do you think?
I found him hidden in a cupboard, and you
said no one else was
supposed to be there.
There wasn't.
I had my eye on that place for
two days, right?
Nobody was in or out apart from Osborne.
And what about Osborne?
Is he?
He's alive!
Christ.
He'll just need to stay here.
Are you kidding me?
For now.
I need to go to work?
And I can't just walk into
the office with a young kid.
People are gonna question it.
Fine.
Just let me try and
figure something out, okay?
Alright.
There is another.
He's got off on a technicality, right?
I've not got an address yet
but I'm working on it.
I could look after the kid tomorrow
if you want to go and take a look.
Yeah?
[Phone vibrating]
I need to get this.
Yvonne.
Just wait.
The thing about being separated is
I don't need to check in with you
every time I go somewhere.
Do you want to take a break from that?
It'll make your eyes go squint.
Really?
No.
Just something my mum used to say.
You wanna play a game?
Do you have a PlayStation?
No.
Xbox?
No, I meant like a
board game or something.
Why do you like this so much?
Hmm, I don't know.
I used to play it with my mum.
It's like my happiness, like a memory.
That's five wins. What now?
Do you want some jam?
[Knocking]
Morning.
Alright.
I'll be two minutes.
Aye, no worries.
So how is he?
You tell me.
You're the social worker.
He's fine.
It's weird. It's like he's not fazed.
Like he's got no clue what's happening.
Where's the envelope?
I'm not bringing it here, am I?
It's in the usual place.
If you got anything to eat? I'm starving.
There's some half eaten toast on the counter.
Great.
See you.
[Female voice through
headphones] Once a day, I want you
to try one of the following
Telephone a lonely person.
There's always somebody in your circle
that's feeling down.
Or else you help a neighbour.
Oh, how's old Jim doing?
I mean, you could always
offer to do his shopping.
Maybe there's an elderly person, or
somebody who's taken ill.
You could offer to give them a hand.
And remember, hold the door open.
No matter who it is,
if there's someone behind you,
hold the door open.
And have a smile on your
face when you're doing it.
What are you doing here?
My shift starts in five minutes.
You don't have a shift.
You never showed up yesterday.
You are finished.
No, I tried phoning, but no one answered.
You're a liar.
And I'm sick of it.
Well, it's one of your
busiest days, so you need me.
Alice can cover it.
Can't you, Alice?
Yeah, sure.
Leave.
Give me the fucking bag!
Let go!
Give me the fucking.. give me it
Hey! Hey!
Hey!
Alright.
Hey, hey, it's me. It's me.
Why the hell have you got a gun?
Protection from fucks like him!
Is that what that creep gave you?
You don't want to use that.
This is Scotland!
What do you know?
What?
I know that you don't need a gun.
You need to get yourself off the streets.
Just shut up.
Just shut up!
What you give me a sandwich
now, you think you know me?
You know what's best for me.
What? No.
Motherfucking Theresa, eh?
You're all the same
Why don't you just fuck off!
[Phone vibrating]
Look, I need to go outside for a couple
of minutes, alright?
I'm busy. What do you want?
I can't come over just now.
Look, you put me through this separation.
You get him during the week,
I get him at the weekends.
That's what you wanted.
Okay.
Put him on, I want to say goodnight.
I'm just here as a customer.
I'm not here to cause trouble.
Let's keep it that way, eh?
Right, I'll send one of the girls over.
Sara, you want another one before we close?
Eh, no, I'm fine. Thanks.
Darshan, I need to talk to you.
Darshan.
What's up? Where's George?
Look, I don't know.
What?
My phone rang. I went outside.
I was only away for five minutes at most.
And I just heard this screaming.
I ran back in and he was gone.
So you left him alone?
Look, I've looked everywhere.
There was a car but it just sped off.
You left him alone?
You? A social worker?
I wanted to say goodnight to my son.
In private.
Okay, well, what did they
look like? Where did they go?
I don't know. It happened so quick.
Sara.
What are you doing here?
I need your help.
I'm busy.
It's just a minute.
You of all people know
what a minute can do.
Do you know him?
His name's William Winters.
No. No, I don't recognise him.
Are you sure?
Look again.
I'm sure.
Look, I don't need to be put through this
every time I see your face.
Someone else is going
through this and you could help.
Stop!
Would you just stop guilt-tripping me?
You got me out.
And I'm grateful for that.
But every time I see your
face, I'm sucked back in.
Just as I think I'm
finally free, you show up again.
I need to get back to work.
Hannah.
You may be reliving this
every night you close your eyes.
But for others, it's still real.
Will you look at the photo properly?
No. I've never seen the guy before.
Charlie and the others would often get a
phone call from someone.
They called him Winters.
Speak to Charlie.
I'm going back to work.
[Phone vibrates]
I'm sorry. Something came up.
But I've got your prescription and that
cheesecake you like.
You're three days late.
The kettle is just on. Come on.
Come in.
How much do I owe you for the shopping?
Call it 20, as long as I get a slice.
Slice?
Yes.
Three days late and you
want a slice of cheesecake?
How you doing, Don?
How'd you get in this time?
Your neighbour's key.
Relax. He's fine.
Thought I was a police.
What do you want?
Charlie.
Why?
That case was proven not guilty.
I'm not here for that.
Where's Charlie?
I can't tell you that.
Where?
I'm a lawyer for Christ's sake.
Your scum.
Your shit who works for
bigger pieces of shit.
Charlie's already got what's coming.
I just need information.
And you're gonna help me get it.
[Tapping on window]
Drive.
[Background chatter]
Uh-uh.
You're a hard woman to find, Charlie.
New name and
identity when you testified.
Dropped a few others in
it to save your own skin.
You really want me to break that again?
I've done nothing wrong.
You sold kids.
You've got a lot to make up for.
Where is he?
I don't know him.
Really?
Really.
Okay.
[Gurgling and splashing]
Just give me something.
I don't know anything.
Out!
Okay, okay.
I met him once.
He took a bunch of the girls off me.
It was years ago.
He owns property west of the city.
Flats. Warehouses.
Where does he stay?
I don't know. Honest.
Well, I'm looking for somewhere that
might take a kid before he's sold.
He owned a warehouse.
An old industrial factory.
It's been closed for years.
[Phone vibrating]
Again.
How's the head?
Fine. Thanks.
What where you doing in my house?
What do you think? I followed you.
You took my photo. My address.
I wanted to make sure
weren't the police.
Okay.
My next question.
What were you doing with the boy?
What's his name?
George.
Look, I can explain.
(KNOCKING)
Mr Winters, sir, is it okay if I close up?
It's my mother's birthday, sir.
I want to take her for a nice meal.
Leave.
(PHONE RINGING)
(PHONE RINGING)
What is it?
I'll sort it
Then you and I, we're going to have to sit
down and have a little chat.
Let's go.
What about him?
Leave him.
Help!
Phil! Grant!
Somebody get me out of here!
There you go sir.
Thank you.
[Banging]
[Screams in pain]
Go and get a chair.
Come here.
No.
Give us your hands. Get up.
Come on!
Someone!
Help me!
Shh, you've got to be quiet.
Are you kidding me?
Get me out of here.
I can't.
I don't get involved.
Come on.
I'm begging you.
Just tell them I escaped.
Tell them I threatened you.
Nice to see you again, Sara.
How long has it been?
Fourteen?
Fifteen years?
Sixteen.
Still pretty.
[Spits]
Prick.
Where is he?
I'm afraid I've got some
bad news for you, Sara.
Charlie?
Set you up.
She's been out the business
that much is true.
And she's kept her nose clean.
Your problem.
She's more afraid of
me than she is of you.
At least someone is.
[Chuckles]
Check her bag.
Tom says he was attacked by a woman.
In a green hoodie.
And a green scarf.
And I would never for one second.
Thought it would have been you.
Surprise.
Tell me.
Why'd you let him live?
Because I'm not a scum like you.
I haven't killed anyone.
No.
What you do is much worse.
Oh
I see.
Did you know that my old
dad used to beat up on me?
And I tried so hard to impress him.
Just to make it stop.
Do you know what I learned from that?
What?
The more you care.
The more you lose.
So instead,
I bashed his face in with an iron.
[Laughs]
Out of respect for what we once had.
I'm gonna let you walk.
But not before my friends here
figure out a way
to make you forget about the boy.
Broken arm should do it.
Goodbye, Sara.
Me and Susie Sue

Me and Susie Sue
stole seashells from the sandy shore
Me and Susie Sue
What?
What's she saying?
[Coughing]
Come on.
[Darshan's voicemail] Hi it's Darshan,
sorry I can't come to the phone
[Phone ringing]
Hannah, it's me.
I need your help.
I need you to track my phone.
Just come quick, please.
Just get here.
Sara
Sara! Can you hear me?
[Phone vibrating]
Oh God. Sara, can you hear me?
No.
No ambulance.
Just get me home.
I'm fine.
Can I get you anything?
Alcohol.
Can I help?
No, I'm fine.
So you're gonna tell me what happened?
Nope. You can go.
I appreciate everything you did for me.
You know that.
You've done enough to pay me back.
Not that you ever needed to.
And maybe you've done enough.
You're going to get yourself killed.
[Female voice through headphones]
Any time I pop into your head,
I hope it's always happy thoughts.
Not thoughts of my final days.
Because as I get closer to the end,
it's the happy thoughts about my life,
about our life that
are getting me through.
If you're feeling sad or down,
or you're just being a grumpy so and so,
and nothing's helping
you swing out of that mood,
you help others.
That's what I've always taught you.
If you see someone
depressed or in need of help,
do what you can for them.
It'll make their day as
well as making your day.
It's also how I met your dad.
It's too bad he turned out to be an asshole,
but we did all right
without him, didn't we?
You and me.
[floorboards creak]
Christ.
It's after 3am.
So? It's not a school night.
What the hell happened to you?
I got my ass kicked.
And you?
Nothing.
So, I see you still haven't unpacked.
I tried phoning.
My battery is dead.
Any luck with the boy?
What do you think?
Here.
It's Winters' address.
Hmm. Anything to do with that black eye?
Look, he's not home just now.
I don't think the boy is there either.
Great. So it's useless.
You know what?
As well as helping other people.
She would want you to be
happy as well, you know.
I'll be happy when we find the boy.
You're not doing this for the boy
or any of them for that matter.
You're doing this for yourself.
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Well, you hate kids.
They're loud, whiny, needy, your words.
Shut up.
And you see the scum out there?
They're the ones that remind you of your past.
So you batter your way
through them and see me.
Well, I'm just your middleman.
Your go-between.
I don't hate kids.
I just don't want what
happened to me to happen to them.
Bullshit.
You don't want kids because
they remind you of your past.
It's the same thing.
It's not the same.
Look at me when I'm speaking to you.
You bottle it all up.
You hide everything.
Children would bring out every ounce of
emotion in you, and you know that.
You want a family.
You want to know what it feels like, but
you just tell yourself you don't.
You're wrong.
I'm wrong?
So why didn't you just leave
George in the cupboard, eh?
You could have, phoned me or the police,
got yourself out of there.
I'm done.
You're done?
What about the boy, eh?
Phone the police like you said.
Aye, because that won't get you arrested.
Threats, assaults,
holding people hostage.
It'll all come out.
Are you wanting that?
Why are you so scared to
get the police involved?
What?
How did they know where
we were keeping George?
Where to find him?
Where I live?
Well, you think I was involved in that?
Well, no one knew who I was.
Not Osborne or anyone else.
Are you bloody serious?
After everything that we've been through,
I started you on this.
The courts weren't holding people like
Osborne, so I took in my own
hands to get something done.
My hands, you mean.
Got me to do your dirty work.
Fuck you.
Nah, fuck you.
Stay away from me.
[phone ringing]

[Darshan's voicemail]
[Gas hisses]
[Gas hisses]
[whistling]
William.
Alright, Kacie?
How you doing? How's the market?
Yeah, yeah, good.
How can I help you?
Oh, I seen you pulling in there.
Harry's on the night shift
till after eight.
I'm desperate for a cuppa
but I've got to get my milk.
Can I borrow some?
No problem. Hold on.
[Car horn]
[Car horn]
[car horn stops]
There you go, Kacie.
Thank you very much. Take care.
Take care. I'll see you later.
Hey.
Hey.
Sara.
What?
What's going on?
I lost my keys?
Here.
Where did you find them?
About 10 feet that way.
Look at the state of you.
Come on, you're going for a walk?
Come on.
Sara.
Right.
Do you need to stop?
No, I'm fine.
A lovely day for it.
You know, you don't
appreciate the outdoors
until you're like me,
stuck in the house all day.
Yeah, I'd appreciate it a lot more
if we weren't in Scotland.
Aw stop your moaning.
Do you know what? I do need to sit down.
You want to tell me what's up?
Nope.
You can tell me.
Sara.
Come on.
You knew my mum, right?
Your mum was a good woman.
She was my whole world.
And when dad left.
He was a waste of space.
Fucking arsehole more like.
She was my everything.
When the cancer finally got her.
I didn't know what to do.
I took to the streets,
started hanging out with the wrong crowds.
And then these guys
would buy us drinks and drugs
and take us to all these cool parties.
I thought it was all
just a laugh at first.
Until they started pimping us out.
I ended up pregnant.
And after a while, I was no
longer their pretty young thing.
No one wants to pay good money for a
pregnant 15 year old.
What happened to the baby?
It doesn't matter.
I work with a social worker.
We look for children in harm
or for anyone who might
be putting them in harm.
Sometimes, the work can backlash.
I know you are trying to help Sara.
Do you think it's worth all this?
Jesus, why would they?
How'd you find me?
The old guy.
Your neighbour with the crutches.
She would be proud.
For what you did.
For what you've done for me.
But...
But what?
But she would be scared.
I mean, how much more can you take?
I'll be fine.
Just leave me alone.
How you doing Kate?
What are you doing here?
I told you,
I want nothing from you.
That's fine.
But I need something from you.
[Female voice through headphones]
Concentrate on the positives.
You'll be pleasantly surprised, I promise.
Try walking down the street,
smile all the way you will be amazed
at how many people smile back.
It's infectious.
Most important, always
reach out to a person in need.
Do you know someone who's ill?
Who's in the hospital?
Well, help them. Be kind.
Everybody you meet is fighting a hard battle.
When you see a friend in difficulty,
I don't know, maybe because
they've got a scary deadline,
maybe they've got a prick for a boss.
If you see someone suffering,
just lend a helping hand
and keep the streets clean.
If you see an old
newspaper or a used coffee cup,
pick it up, toss it in the bin.
It feels really good
to take care of a mess
that you didn't make.
I've finished for the day.
Come back tomorrow.
Stay!
Sit.
Good girl.
Where is he?
I don't know.
It's the truth.
I've heard your version of the truth.
In your mouth.
What?
Do it.
Hand on the table.
Hand on the table!
Thank you.
[screams in pain]
Up, up, up.
Next time it's a bullet.
I'm gonna ask you once more, where is he?
Ricky's newsagents
on Mossbell Road.
You need to ask for a 37 pence mixture.
What does that mean?
What?
It's just a code.
It's a code.
I'm sorry.
You're pathetic.
Can I help you with anything?
I'd like to buy a mixture, please?
Okay, how much?
37 pence.
37?
Okay.
Are you being serious?
Sorry.
What are you doing?
I'll call the police.
I must not have made myself clear.
I'd like to purchase a 37 pence mixture.
Through the back.
Show me.
George.
Crazy lady.
Are you okay?
Did he hurt you?
No.
I wouldn't do that.
Why is he here?
A couple are meant to pick him up.
I've to make a call when they arrive.
Well, I'm gonna call someone.
Her name's Hannah.
You don't let anyone
else in here, understand?
Then you're gonna help me find your boss.
[Phone ringing]
It's me.
I found the boy.
I need you to come to
Ricky's newsagents.
[Winters on the phone] Hello, Sara.
I must admit, you're
becoming a bit of a nuisance.
I take it you're still at the shop?
Bring me the boy.
I can't do that.
Do you remember the last time
how we stated that
neither of us had killed anyone?
Well, I'd like to keep it that way.
I'm waiting.
Where?
Same place as the last little reunion.
You've got half an hour.
How long has that been?
About 40 minutes.
Wait for her.
You kidding? It's freezing out here.
Right, okay.
Come on.
[Phone vibrating]
Hello?
[Urinating]
([Radio tuning, music plays)
[Seatbelt beeps]
[Seatbelt beeps again]
I've no ties to him.
He just pays me.
I need to go.
Where?
The bathroom.
Feel free.
But your ass will
remain in that chair.
Tell me,
Do you get on with your parents?
My mum, yes, but she lives in Spain.
Never knew my dad,
passed before I was born.
Well, I knew my dad.
He was barbaric.
A monster.
Some might say you were
blessed not to have known yours.
Uncuff her.
No matter what you
think of me, I'm no monster.
There's no reason for you to get hurt.
She's late, boss.
[Laughing]
Something funny?
You both.
You actually think she'll bring him here?
I've known men like you.
I've been stuck in the
arms of men like you.
And do you know how I escaped?
Sara.
So she's never just going to
hand over an innocent child.
Is that so?
That is so.
[Car horn]
Check it out.
[Car horn]
Looks like you're mistaken.
[Car horn]
She's here, inside.
Just leave it.
Go and get her.
I'll be back man.
Where the fuck do you think you're going?
Leaving.
Sit your ass down.
Your men are gone.
You have no weapons.
You have nothing but empty threats.
Sit your ass down now.
Get away from her.
Done.
Your turn.
Where's the boy?
Safe.
Jesus fucking Christ.
You really don't play fair, do you?
Hannah's coming with me.
And then you and me are done.
Really?
What makes you think I'd let that happen?
Drop it.
Now.
Where in God's name
did you get a gun from?
What's happening to this country?
Find her.
What were you saying about a weapon?
[Distant gunshots]
[Gun fires]
Hannah, get out of here.
Go!
Now listen, let's talk about this.
Shut up.
Shut up for once in your life.
You don't wanna do this.
You killed her.
You killed my unborn baby.
What?
She died.
I felt her life leave me.
Because of you.
Because of stress, men like you cause.
I didn't even get to say goodbye.
I'm sorry.
I really am.
I didn't know what it was to live.
And I still don't.
Because of you.
You shoot me.
You're still gonna
have to deal with them.
Why don't you just, just drop it.
Just put the gun down.
Come on, let's get out of here.
Wait, hold on.
I've got a drive.
It's got names,
photographs and addresses
of what you call men like me.
Hand me in. I'll use this to testify.
I can help you catch them Sara.
Think about it.
No.
All these men will be off the street.
That's what you're after.
That's what you've been looking for.
Shit.
Just drop the gun.
Lower it
We both know you've not
got the guts to do this.
Slowly.
That's it.
Nice and easy.
Good girl.
You're not a child anymore.
Let's be adults about this.
Yeah.
You're right.
[Gun fires]
Wait, wait.
Wait, listen.
Just listen.
[Gun fires]
Me and Susie Sue stole seashells

Me and Susie Sue stole seashells
from the sandy shore.
That's fine. I'll be home for dinner.
About six.
[Knocking]
You got a minute?
Could you give us a second?
Oh, I'll need to phone you back.
Sorry.
Thanks for taking George.
I didn't know where else to go.
Look it's fine.
He's with his foster family now.
He's doing well.
He's been asking for you.
Yeah.
You should pay him a visit?
I can arrange it. Off the record of course.
I'm sure they won't mind.
Yeah.
He's a good wee boy.
Reminds me when I was a kid.
Similar circumstances and that
But, he just seems a lot more
unshakable.
I've not seen you for weeks.
Why are you here?
I'm so sorry, Darshan.
I should have trusted you.
It's okay.
I just, I don't know how they found him
and I still don't.
And I've been racking
my brain and nothing.
Don't worry.
I should have trusted you.
I called you some awful things.
Terrible things.
You know I didn't mean it, right?
I know.
I just, I wanted to help.
But I think I'm broken.
I've been broken for years.
Maybe you're right
about me not wanting kids.
Someday.
I'm just so sorry.
I think you should talk to somebody.
Yeah, probably.
[Machine beeps]
What's this?
Take a look.
On the drive's a list
of Winter's contacts.
Do with it what you will.
But I'm done.
I need to move on.
Thanks.
Wait.
Have you looked at that?
No.
If I look, I won't stop looking.
[Female voice through headphones]
If you want other people to change,
start with yourself.
Take a wee look in the mirror.
Are you happy with what you see?
Just find ways to express your love.
Whether it's your partner, a child,
a friend, a complete stranger.
Give them a hug.
Give them a kiss.
Give them a gentle pat on the back.
Any sign of affection
will be appreciated.
And if you start a family,
I want you to tell them about me.
Good times and the bad.
Take them down to the beach.
Let them listen to the CDs.
Teach them to be happy.
And tell them how wonderful they are
and how grateful you are
to have them in your life.
Okay.
Last one.
It's a big one.
When you lead,
your actions will serve
as an example for others.
If somebody's in grief,
seem to be lost and
don't know what to do,
you help them.
But don't do it all yourself.
Let them take action too.
And that way they'll see how a goal
can be accomplished successfully.
Jim Alan?
You've not got the guts.
Now fuck off.

Chris Greig & The Merchants [Sick To Death]
I'm so sick to death
You treat me like the rest
I'm so sick to death
You put my patience to the test
You bet it on a rhyme
You put it on a line
You bet on your own life
You bet on mine
I'm so sick to death
You treat me like the rest
I'm so sick to death
You put my patience to the test
And I try to be simple
But I've caught in the middle
I'm so sick to death
You treat me like the rest

I'm so sick to death
You treat me like the rest
And I'm so sick to death
You put my patience to the test
You're wasting all my time
Why don't you do it right?
Well are you even mine?
Is this just a lie
Whoo!
You treat me like the rest
There we go sir.
And I'll have the rest of
that stuff for you on Wednesday.
See you then. Thank you.
See you later.
Bye.
Thank you.
And what can I get you?
Can I get a mixture?
How much?
37 pence.
Let me see what I've
got through the back.
Come on then.
Alright.
Beat it
Passport.
[clicks fingers]
What's with the camera?
Insurance.
What will I call you two then?
Nothing.
Relax.
Address.
What?
Is that necessary?
1497 Oaklaw Avenue.
Ready?
Should I smile?
You do what you like, son.
If this gets out it won't make a difference whether
it's a photo with your dick down your dad's throat.
This place is awful.
We'll just have to slum it, darling.
It won't be for long.
Finley. Elbows.
Can I get you guys
any other drinks today?
Just three cokes and
another coffee, please.
Three cokes and another coffee for yourself.
That's not a problem.
I'll get them right over.
Okay, so we all done here?
Can I get you anything else? Teas or coffees?
Cheeseburger and chips.
That's mine, thanks.
Chicken and cajun fries.
That's mine.
Excuse me.
I'm still waiting for my refill.
Orange juice isn't on the free refills I'm afraid.
[Baby crying]
Why not?
It's just drafts.
Well, it doesn't say so on the menu.
It does.
Where?
[Baby crying]
In the bottom.
Could I have a new knife, please?
What's wrong with that one?
It's absolutely filthy.
Where?
I don't see it.
Do you see it, darling?
[Baby crying]
Nope.
Bottom, right.
Really? The print is tiny.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Can someone just shut him up?!
Dear goodness.
What is your problem?
Do you not like kids?
Not particularly, no.
Sara
A word, please.
How you doing, Kate?
Good. Got a smoke?
Something better?
Chicken and chips.
How's your day been?
I got my final warning.
You better watch yourself.
He's after you.
Nah.
I deserved it.
I was an asshole.
I can't wait to see his face when he finds out
you're feeding the ex-junkie out the back free food?
Can I ask you something?
You got kids?
Aye. Two.
Love kids.
They're with their Dad, though.
I mean, I love them, but
I can't look after them.
Look at the state of me.
How you doing, Kate?
She's fine.
Who's that?
Just a pal.
What's in the bag?
Just something's she owes.
So drugs?
No.
I told you
I don't touch that stuff anymore.
Same time tomorrow?
[Car alarm]
[Distant rustling]
[Man screams in fear]
[Car alarm going off]
Mr. Green? Move out.
You don't touch her again.
I don't understand.
Do you understand now?
Okay.
Well go on.
[Female voice through headphones]
I know I left you alone to grow up
much earlier than either me or you were expecting.
I also know this made you very grumpy.
I mean, who we kidding?
You were always very grumpy
unless I took you to the beach.
Do you remember that, still?
You used to come home with a thousand
seashells squished into
your wee tiny pockets.
So anytime you're sad, I want you to
remember our visits to
the beach, to the seaside.
Can you still see it fast?
Me and Susie Sue stole
seashells from the sandy seashore.

[LAUGHS]
Right, now you say it five times fast.
[LAUGHS]
You take care of yourself.
And you take care of others.
[Tapping & rustling]
[Distant rustling]
Jesus Christ, Jim.
Morning.
What are you doing here? I nearly bottled you.
You didn't come by this morning.
I just woke up.
Look at the state of this place.
I've been busy.
So I see.
Here, here you are.
Thanks.
Christ sake Sara. You need to get a grip of yourself.
Look, I've got things to do. Can we catch up later?
Like what?
I need to go to work.
What happened there?
Nothing. I chipped it on a tool.
[Scoffs] Tool.
Jim?
Fine. I'll go.
But you look like you're in need of some fresh air.
And I know what I need.
Eggs. Yeah, I know.
Ah well, you know where I am if you need me.
Do yourself a favour Sara.
Get this place tidied up. It's a bloody riot.
Yep.
[Knocks at the door]
[Knocks at the door]
Who is it?
[Sara, behind door] Baba Joe's. I've got a home delivery.
Yeah. I didn't order anything.
[Sara, behind door] Well I've got a
spicy chicken pizza for Tom Osbourne.
Catch.
You know
I hope that tissue has only
been used to blow your nose.
I should cut it off.
If you ever go near anyone again, if you
so much as a look at one,
understand?
Do you understand?
[Distant, muffled sneeze]
[Sara screams]
[Bone crunching]
Do you live alone?
Yep.
Do you have any kids?
No I don't have any kids.
Why not you're old enough?
Where's your Mum? Or your Dad?
I've never had a mum.
Ok, don't touch that.
Sit.
Are you some sort of police officer?
No I'm not a police officer.
Are you hungry?
Well what do you eat?
Coco Pops.
I don't have Coco Pops.
Pop Tarts?
No.
Bacon?
I've got bread.
Eggs?
Probably.
Can you make French toast?
No.
Why not?
Because I don't know how.
But I can make you regular toast.
So, what's your name?
George.
George, what?
I can't tell you.
Why not?
I'm not meant to talk to strangers.
Alright, George.
I need to jump outside
and make a quick phone call.
Is there any questions?
Have you got anything you need?
Yes.
Jam.
Okay. I can't guarantee it's in date.
[phone ringing]
[Darshan on phone] You shouldn't be calling.
It's important.
[Darshan on phone] Look, I'll be in contact later.
No you won't. We have a problem now.
Get your arse over here.
[phone disconnects]
[Characters on TV] Rise. Rise I say
[Characters on TV] Turn. Use this prayer in your...
[Knocking on door]
[Knocks at door]
Alright.
Hi.
Who is this?
Come on.
So, who is he?
George?
He hasn't given me his last name.
Right. Where did he come from?
Where do you think?
I found him hidden in a cupboard, and you
said no one else was
supposed to be there.
There wasn't.
I had my eye on that place for
two days, right?
Nobody was in or out apart from Osborne.
And what about Osborne?
Is he?
He's alive!
Christ.
He'll just need to stay here.
Are you kidding me?
For now.
I need to go to work?
And I can't just walk into
the office with a young kid.
People are gonna question it.
Fine.
Just let me try and
figure something out, okay?
Alright.
There is another.
He's got off on a technicality, right?
I've not got an address yet
but I'm working on it.
I could look after the kid tomorrow
if you want to go and take a look.
Yeah?
[Phone vibrating]
I need to get this.
Yvonne.
Just wait.
The thing about being separated is
I don't need to check in with you
every time I go somewhere.
Do you want to take a break from that?
It'll make your eyes go squint.
Really?
No.
Just something my mum used to say.
You wanna play a game?
Do you have a PlayStation?
No.
Xbox?
No, I meant like a
board game or something.
Why do you like this so much?
Hmm, I don't know.
I used to play it with my mum.
It's like my happiness, like a memory.
That's five wins. What now?
Do you want some jam?
[Knocking]
Morning.
Alright.
I'll be two minutes.
Aye, no worries.
So how is he?
You tell me.
You're the social worker.
He's fine.
It's weird. It's like he's not fazed.
Like he's got no clue what's happening.
Where's the envelope?
I'm not bringing it here, am I?
It's in the usual place.
If you got anything to eat? I'm starving.
There's some half eaten toast on the counter.
Great.
See you.
[Female voice through
headphones] Once a day, I want you
to try one of the following
Telephone a lonely person.
There's always somebody in your circle
that's feeling down.
Or else you help a neighbour.
Oh, how's old Jim doing?
I mean, you could always
offer to do his shopping.
Maybe there's an elderly person, or
somebody who's taken ill.
You could offer to give them a hand.
And remember, hold the door open.
No matter who it is,
if there's someone behind you,
hold the door open.
And have a smile on your
face when you're doing it.
What are you doing here?
My shift starts in five minutes.
You don't have a shift.
You never showed up yesterday.
You are finished.
No, I tried phoning, but no one answered.
You're a liar.
And I'm sick of it.
Well, it's one of your
busiest days, so you need me.
Alice can cover it.
Can't you, Alice?
Yeah, sure.
Leave.
Give me the fucking bag!
Let go!
Give me the fucking.. give me it
Hey! Hey!
Hey!
Alright.
Hey, hey, it's me. It's me.
Why the hell have you got a gun?
Protection from fucks like him!
Is that what that creep gave you?
You don't want to use that.
This is Scotland!
What do you know?
What?
I know that you don't need a gun.
You need to get yourself off the streets.
Just shut up.
Just shut up!
What you give me a sandwich
now, you think you know me?
You know what's best for me.
What? No.
Motherfucking Theresa, eh?
You're all the same
Why don't you just fuck off!
[Phone vibrating]
Look, I need to go outside for a couple
of minutes, alright?
I'm busy. What do you want?
I can't come over just now.
Look, you put me through this separation.
You get him during the week,
I get him at the weekends.
That's what you wanted.
Okay.
Put him on, I want to say goodnight.
I'm just here as a customer.
I'm not here to cause trouble.
Let's keep it that way, eh?
Right, I'll send one of the girls over.
Sara, you want another one before we close?
Eh, no, I'm fine. Thanks.
Darshan, I need to talk to you.
Darshan.
What's up? Where's George?
Look, I don't know.
What?
My phone rang. I went outside.
I was only away for five minutes at most.
And I just heard this screaming.
I ran back in and he was gone.
So you left him alone?
Look, I've looked everywhere.
There was a car but it just sped off.
You left him alone?
You? A social worker?
I wanted to say goodnight to my son.
In private.
Okay, well, what did they
look like? Where did they go?
I don't know. It happened so quick.
Sara.
What are you doing here?
I need your help.
I'm busy.
It's just a minute.
You of all people know
what a minute can do.
Do you know him?
His name's William Winters.
No. No, I don't recognise him.
Are you sure?
Look again.
I'm sure.
Look, I don't need to be put through this
every time I see your face.
Someone else is going
through this and you could help.
Stop!
Would you just stop guilt-tripping me?
You got me out.
And I'm grateful for that.
But every time I see your
face, I'm sucked back in.
Just as I think I'm
finally free, you show up again.
I need to get back to work.
Hannah.
You may be reliving this
every night you close your eyes.
But for others, it's still real.
Will you look at the photo properly?
No. I've never seen the guy before.
Charlie and the others would often get a
phone call from someone.
They called him Winters.
Speak to Charlie.
I'm going back to work.
[Phone vibrates]
I'm sorry. Something came up.
But I've got your prescription and that
cheesecake you like.
You're three days late.
The kettle is just on. Come on.
Come in.
How much do I owe you for the shopping?
Call it 20, as long as I get a slice.
Slice?
Yes.
Three days late and you
want a slice of cheesecake?
How you doing, Don?
How'd you get in this time?
Your neighbour's key.
Relax. He's fine.
Thought I was a police.
What do you want?
Charlie.
Why?
That case was proven not guilty.
I'm not here for that.
Where's Charlie?
I can't tell you that.
Where?
I'm a lawyer for Christ's sake.
Your scum.
Your shit who works for
bigger pieces of shit.
Charlie's already got what's coming.
I just need information.
And you're gonna help me get it.
[Tapping on window]
Drive.
[Background chatter]
Uh-uh.
You're a hard woman to find, Charlie.
New name and
identity when you testified.
Dropped a few others in
it to save your own skin.
You really want me to break that again?
I've done nothing wrong.
You sold kids.
You've got a lot to make up for.
Where is he?
I don't know him.
Really?
Really.
Okay.
[Gurgling and splashing]
Just give me something.
I don't know anything.
Out!
Okay, okay.
I met him once.
He took a bunch of the girls off me.
It was years ago.
He owns property west of the city.
Flats. Warehouses.
Where does he stay?
I don't know. Honest.
Well, I'm looking for somewhere that
might take a kid before he's sold.
He owned a warehouse.
An old industrial factory.
It's been closed for years.
[Phone vibrating]
Again.
How's the head?
Fine. Thanks.
What where you doing in my house?
What do you think? I followed you.
You took my photo. My address.
I wanted to make sure
weren't the police.
Okay.
My next question.
What were you doing with the boy?
What's his name?
George.
Look, I can explain.
(KNOCKING)
Mr Winters, sir, is it okay if I close up?
It's my mother's birthday, sir.
I want to take her for a nice meal.
Leave.
(PHONE RINGING)
(PHONE RINGING)
What is it?
I'll sort it
Then you and I, we're going to have to sit
down and have a little chat.
Let's go.
What about him?
Leave him.
Help!
Phil! Grant!
Somebody get me out of here!
There you go sir.
Thank you.
[Banging]
[Screams in pain]
Go and get a chair.
Come here.
No.
Give us your hands. Get up.
Come on!
Someone!
Help me!
Shh, you've got to be quiet.
Are you kidding me?
Get me out of here.
I can't.
I don't get involved.
Come on.
I'm begging you.
Just tell them I escaped.
Tell them I threatened you.
Nice to see you again, Sara.
How long has it been?
Fourteen?
Fifteen years?
Sixteen.
Still pretty.
[Spits]
Prick.
Where is he?
I'm afraid I've got some
bad news for you, Sara.
Charlie?
Set you up.
She's been out the business
that much is true.
And she's kept her nose clean.
Your problem.
She's more afraid of
me than she is of you.
At least someone is.
[Chuckles]
Check her bag.
Tom says he was attacked by a woman.
In a green hoodie.
And a green scarf.
And I would never for one second.
Thought it would have been you.
Surprise.
Tell me.
Why'd you let him live?
Because I'm not a scum like you.
I haven't killed anyone.
No.
What you do is much worse.
Oh
I see.
Did you know that my old
dad used to beat up on me?
And I tried so hard to impress him.
Just to make it stop.
Do you know what I learned from that?
What?
The more you care.
The more you lose.
So instead,
I bashed his face in with an iron.
[Laughs]
Out of respect for what we once had.
I'm gonna let you walk.
But not before my friends here
figure out a way
to make you forget about the boy.
Broken arm should do it.
Goodbye, Sara.

Me and Susie Sue
What?
What's she saying?
[Coughing]
Come on.
[Darshan's voicemail] Hi it's Darshan,
sorry I can't come to the phone
[Phone ringing]
Hannah, it's me.
I need your help.
I need you to track my phone.
Just come quick, please.
Just get here.
Sara
Sara! Can you hear me?
[Phone vibrating]
Oh God. Sara, can you hear me?
No.
No ambulance.
Just get me home.
I'm fine.
Can I get you anything?
Alcohol.
Can I help?
No, I'm fine.
So you're gonna tell me what happened?
Nope. You can go.
I appreciate everything you did for me.
You know that.
You've done enough to pay me back.
Not that you ever needed to.
And maybe you've done enough.
You're going to get yourself killed.
[Female voice through headphones]
Any time I pop into your head,
I hope it's always happy thoughts.
Not thoughts of my final days.
Because as I get closer to the end,
it's the happy thoughts about my life,
about our life that
are getting me through.
If you're feeling sad or down,
or you're just being a grumpy so and so,
and nothing's helping
you swing out of that mood,
you help others.
That's what I've always taught you.
If you see someone
depressed or in need of help,
do what you can for them.
It'll make their day as
well as making your day.
It's also how I met your dad.
It's too bad he turned out to be an asshole,
but we did all right
without him, didn't we?
You and me.
[floorboards creak]
Christ.
It's after 3am.
So? It's not a school night.
What the hell happened to you?
I got my ass kicked.
And you?
Nothing.
So, I see you still haven't unpacked.
I tried phoning.
My battery is dead.
Any luck with the boy?
What do you think?
Here.
It's Winters' address.
Hmm. Anything to do with that black eye?
Look, he's not home just now.
I don't think the boy is there either.
Great. So it's useless.
You know what?
As well as helping other people.
She would want you to be
happy as well, you know.
I'll be happy when we find the boy.
You're not doing this for the boy
or any of them for that matter.
You're doing this for yourself.
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Well, you hate kids.
They're loud, whiny, needy, your words.
Shut up.
And you see the scum out there?
They're the ones that remind you of your past.
So you batter your way
through them and see me.
Well, I'm just your middleman.
Your go-between.
I don't hate kids.
I just don't want what
happened to me to happen to them.
Bullshit.
You don't want kids because
they remind you of your past.
It's the same thing.
It's not the same.
Look at me when I'm speaking to you.
You bottle it all up.
You hide everything.
Children would bring out every ounce of
emotion in you, and you know that.
You want a family.
You want to know what it feels like, but
you just tell yourself you don't.
You're wrong.
I'm wrong?
So why didn't you just leave
George in the cupboard, eh?
You could have, phoned me or the police,
got yourself out of there.
I'm done.
You're done?
What about the boy, eh?
Phone the police like you said.
Aye, because that won't get you arrested.
Threats, assaults,
holding people hostage.
It'll all come out.
Are you wanting that?
Why are you so scared to
get the police involved?
What?
How did they know where
we were keeping George?
Where to find him?
Where I live?
Well, you think I was involved in that?
Well, no one knew who I was.
Not Osborne or anyone else.
Are you bloody serious?
After everything that we've been through,
I started you on this.
The courts weren't holding people like
Osborne, so I took in my own
hands to get something done.
My hands, you mean.
Got me to do your dirty work.
Fuck you.
Nah, fuck you.
Stay away from me.

[whistling]
William.
Alright, Kacie?
How you doing? How's the market?
Yeah, yeah, good.
How can I help you?
Oh, I seen you pulling in there.
Harry's on the night shift
till after eight.
I'm desperate for a cuppa
but I've got to get my milk.
Can I borrow some?
No problem. Hold on.
[Car horn]
[Car horn]
[car horn stops]
There you go, Kacie.
Thank you very much. Take care.
Take care. I'll see you later.
Hey.
Hey.
Sara.
What?
What's going on?
I lost my keys?
Here.
Where did you find them?
About 10 feet that way.
Look at the state of you.
Come on, you're going for a walk?
Come on.
Sara.
Right.
Do you need to stop?
No, I'm fine.
A lovely day for it.
You know, you don't
appreciate the outdoors
until you're like me,
stuck in the house all day.
Yeah, I'd appreciate it a lot more
if we weren't in Scotland.
Aw stop your moaning.
Do you know what? I do need to sit down.
You want to tell me what's up?
Nope.
You can tell me.
Sara.
Come on.
You knew my mum, right?
Your mum was a good woman.
She was my whole world.
And when dad left.
He was a waste of space.
Fucking arsehole more like.
She was my everything.
When the cancer finally got her.
I didn't know what to do.
I took to the streets,
started hanging out with the wrong crowds.
And then these guys
would buy us drinks and drugs
and take us to all these cool parties.
I thought it was all
just a laugh at first.
Until they started pimping us out.
I ended up pregnant.
And after a while, I was no
longer their pretty young thing.
No one wants to pay good money for a
pregnant 15 year old.
What happened to the baby?
It doesn't matter.
I work with a social worker.
We look for children in harm
or for anyone who might
be putting them in harm.
Sometimes, the work can backlash.
I know you are trying to help Sara.
Do you think it's worth all this?
Jesus, why would they?
How'd you find me?
The old guy.
Your neighbour with the crutches.
She would be proud.
For what you did.
For what you've done for me.
But...
But what?
But she would be scared.
I mean, how much more can you take?
I'll be fine.
Just leave me alone.
How you doing Kate?
What are you doing here?
I told you,
I want nothing from you.
That's fine.
But I need something from you.
[Female voice through headphones]
Concentrate on the positives.
You'll be pleasantly surprised, I promise.
Try walking down the street,
smile all the way you will be amazed
at how many people smile back.
It's infectious.
Most important, always
reach out to a person in need.
Do you know someone who's ill?
Who's in the hospital?
Well, help them. Be kind.
Everybody you meet is fighting a hard battle.
When you see a friend in difficulty,
I don't know, maybe because
they've got a scary deadline,
maybe they've got a prick for a boss.
If you see someone suffering,
just lend a helping hand
and keep the streets clean.
If you see an old
newspaper or a used coffee cup,
pick it up, toss it in the bin.
It feels really good
to take care of a mess
that you didn't make.
I've finished for the day.
Come back tomorrow.
Stay!
Sit.
Good girl.
Where is he?
I don't know.
It's the truth.
I've heard your version of the truth.
In your mouth.
What?
Do it.
Hand on the table.
Hand on the table!
Thank you.
[screams in pain]
Up, up, up.
Next time it's a bullet.
I'm gonna ask you once more, where is he?
Ricky's newsagents
on Mossbell Road.
You need to ask for a 37 pence mixture.
What does that mean?
What?
It's just a code.
It's a code.
I'm sorry.
You're pathetic.
Can I help you with anything?
I'd like to buy a mixture, please?
Okay, how much?
37 pence.
37?
Okay.
Are you being serious?
Sorry.
What are you doing?
I'll call the police.
I must not have made myself clear.
I'd like to purchase a 37 pence mixture.
Through the back.
Show me.
George.
Crazy lady.
Are you okay?
Did he hurt you?
No.
I wouldn't do that.
Why is he here?
A couple are meant to pick him up.
I've to make a call when they arrive.
Well, I'm gonna call someone.
Her name's Hannah.
You don't let anyone
else in here, understand?
Then you're gonna help me find your boss.
[Phone ringing]
It's me.
I found the boy.
I need you to come to
Ricky's newsagents.
[Winters on the phone] Hello, Sara.
I must admit, you're
becoming a bit of a nuisance.
I take it you're still at the shop?
Bring me the boy.
I can't do that.
Do you remember the last time
how we stated that
neither of us had killed anyone?
Well, I'd like to keep it that way.
I'm waiting.
Where?
Same place as the last little reunion.
You've got half an hour.
How long has that been?
About 40 minutes.
Wait for her.
You kidding? It's freezing out here.
Right, okay.
Come on.
[Phone vibrating]
Hello?
[Urinating]
([Radio tuning, music plays)
[Seatbelt beeps]
[Seatbelt beeps again]
I've no ties to him.
He just pays me.
I need to go.
Where?
The bathroom.
Feel free.
But your ass will
remain in that chair.
Tell me,
Do you get on with your parents?
My mum, yes, but she lives in Spain.
Never knew my dad,
passed before I was born.
Well, I knew my dad.
He was barbaric.
A monster.
Some might say you were
blessed not to have known yours.
Uncuff her.
No matter what you
think of me, I'm no monster.
There's no reason for you to get hurt.
She's late, boss.
[Laughing]
Something funny?
You both.
You actually think she'll bring him here?
I've known men like you.
I've been stuck in the
arms of men like you.
And do you know how I escaped?
Sara.
So she's never just going to
hand over an innocent child.
Is that so?
That is so.
[Car horn]
Check it out.
[Car horn]
Looks like you're mistaken.
[Car horn]
She's here, inside.
Just leave it.
Go and get her.
I'll be back man.
Where the fuck do you think you're going?
Leaving.
Sit your ass down.
Your men are gone.
You have no weapons.
You have nothing but empty threats.
Sit your ass down now.
Get away from her.
Done.
Your turn.
Where's the boy?
Safe.
Jesus fucking Christ.
You really don't play fair, do you?
Hannah's coming with me.
And then you and me are done.
Really?
What makes you think I'd let that happen?
Drop it.
Now.
Where in God's name
did you get a gun from?
What's happening to this country?
Find her.
What were you saying about a weapon?
[Distant gunshots]
[Gun fires]
Hannah, get out of here.
Go!
Now listen, let's talk about this.
Shut up.
Shut up for once in your life.
You don't wanna do this.
You killed her.
You killed my unborn baby.
What?
She died.
I felt her life leave me.
Because of you.
Because of stress, men like you cause.
I didn't even get to say goodbye.
I'm sorry.
I really am.
I didn't know what it was to live.
And I still don't.
Because of you.
You shoot me.
You're still gonna
have to deal with them.
Why don't you just, just drop it.
Just put the gun down.
Come on, let's get out of here.
Wait, hold on.
I've got a drive.
It's got names,
photographs and addresses
of what you call men like me.
Hand me in. I'll use this to testify.
I can help you catch them Sara.
Think about it.
No.
All these men will be off the street.
That's what you're after.
That's what you've been looking for.
Shit.
Just drop the gun.
Lower it
We both know you've not
got the guts to do this.
Slowly.
That's it.
Nice and easy.
Good girl.
You're not a child anymore.
Let's be adults about this.
Yeah.
You're right.
[Gun fires]
Wait, wait.
Wait, listen.
Just listen.
[Gun fires]
Me and Susie Sue stole seashells
from the sandy shore.
Me and Susie Sue stole seashells
from the sandy shore.
Me and Susie Sue stole seashells
from the sandy shore.
That's fine. I'll be home for dinner.
About six.
[Knocking]
You got a minute?
Could you give us a second?
Oh, I'll need to phone you back.
Sorry.
Thanks for taking George.
I didn't know where else to go.
Look it's fine.
He's with his foster family now.
He's doing well.
He's been asking for you.
Yeah.
You should pay him a visit?
I can arrange it. Off the record of course.
I'm sure they won't mind.
Yeah.
He's a good wee boy.
Reminds me when I was a kid.
Similar circumstances and that
But, he just seems a lot more
unshakable.
I've not seen you for weeks.
Why are you here?
I'm so sorry, Darshan.
I should have trusted you.
It's okay.
I just, I don't know how they found him
and I still don't.
And I've been racking
my brain and nothing.
Don't worry.
I should have trusted you.
I called you some awful things.
Terrible things.
You know I didn't mean it, right?
I know.
I just, I wanted to help.
But I think I'm broken.
I've been broken for years.
Maybe you're right
about me not wanting kids.
Someday.
I'm just so sorry.
I think you should talk to somebody.
Yeah, probably.
[Machine beeps]
What's this?
Take a look.
On the drive's a list
of Winter's contacts.
Do with it what you will.
But I'm done.
I need to move on.
Thanks.
Wait.
Have you looked at that?
No.
If I look, I won't stop looking.
[Female voice through headphones]
If you want other people to change,
start with yourself.
Take a wee look in the mirror.
Are you happy with what you see?
Just find ways to express your love.
Whether it's your partner, a child,
a friend, a complete stranger.
Give them a hug.
Give them a kiss.
Give them a gentle pat on the back.
Any sign of affection
will be appreciated.
And if you start a family,
I want you to tell them about me.
Good times and the bad.
Take them down to the beach.
Let them listen to the CDs.
Teach them to be happy.
And tell them how wonderful they are
and how grateful you are
to have them in your life.
Okay.
Last one.
It's a big one.
When you lead,
your actions will serve
as an example for others.
If somebody's in grief,
seem to be lost and
don't know what to do,
you help them.
But don't do it all yourself.
Let them take action too.
And that way they'll see how a goal
can be accomplished successfully.
Jim Alan?
You've not got the guts.
Now fuck off.

Chris Greig & The Merchants [Sick To Death]
I'm so sick to death
You treat me like the rest
I'm so sick to death
You put my patience to the test
You bet it on a rhyme
You put it on a line
You bet on your own life
You bet on mine
I'm so sick to death
You treat me like the rest
I'm so sick to death
You put my patience to the test
And I try to be simple
But I've caught in the middle
I'm so sick to death
You treat me like the rest
