Urchin (2025) Movie Script

[Woman] 'Friends,
have you heard about Jesus?
'Have you heard about the Lord?
'I didn't use to be
a perfect person.
'But I got down on my knees,
and I prayed to Jesus.
'I prayed to the Lord,
and he heard me.
'He heard me in my sin,
he heard me in my pain.
'You are the king of glory.
'You are the prince of peace.'
Get the bible,
get the King James bible.
Get the app.
Get the app on your smartphones.
Download it and understand
that there is a god
that loves us all.
He is the king of kings.
O, Jesus, we pray, we pray today
for all these souls.
May you move in their lives.
Lord, we pray that
they will get the bible,
that they will study your word
like they study their phones,
Father God.
We know that one day,
every knee will bow...
Shut the fuck up.
...and every tongue
will confess
that you are Lord!
- We thank you for the bible...
- Shh!
O, we pray
that you will find them.
Shh!
He loves you.
He is the Alpha and the Omega.
Hi, guys, I'm sorry to ask.
I was just wondering if
you've got any... spare change.
Hi, guys, I was just wondering
if you've got any spare change.
[Man] Sorry.
Hi, mate, I'm just trying to get
some money together for a hot...
- Sorry.
- ...meal.
Hi, mate, just wondering
if you've got any spare change,
some money for a hot meal.
Hi, just wondering if you've got
any money or spare change...
Hi, I'm trying to get some money
together for a hot meal.
- Wake up!
- Just charging my phone.
I said you could
charge your phone.
You've been here
for thirty minutes now. Come on,
you're taking the piss.
Yo! Let's go!
- Bro, come on. Let's go.
- I'm charging my phone...
Here's your phone,
take your phone. Come on.
Up on your feet, let's go.
[Trains rattling past below]
- You know what I mean?
- It's got to be done.
- I have to do that, yeah.
- It's got to be done.
You know what you said
about she's had another stroke?
- Yeah, she had another stroke.
- Fucking hell.
- Devastated, you know?
- Yeah.
[Woman] Just like, don't even...
I'm trying.
And some milk, yeah?
...all duck out of it.
What's the matter with you?
Nothing.
Can you just, like...?
- You fucking lunatic!
- Just don't even, like...
I'm trying...
You're a fucking lunatic,
you know that?
One minute,
you're fucking alright,
next thing,
you're going mad.
- See you later. Go, go...
- See me later?
Go, go over there,
go see that dog.
[Man] What part of the world
are you from?
Slovakia.
But now, Dalston.
[Man] Dalston.
That's where I've seen you.
- Yeah!
- Yes, yes.
What is it, a charity or what?
[Woman] Yeah, a charity.
Independent charity.
No, it's private.
It's a company.
It's not private,
it's not a company.
The woman on the desk said
that they get some government...
No, they don't. It's a charity.
They rely on donations.
It's a company.
- Stop it. Shush, now, yeah?
- I'm gonna go.
Alright, babe.
I'll see you later.
- Got a cigarette?
- Yeah, I got one. Here.
- You had a haircut?
- Yeah, that Isaac bloke did it.
He looks gorgeous, don't he?
Look at him!
Here, grab that, babe.
Don't he look lovely? Yeah...
Alright, I'm gonna go.
See you later!
[Distant alarm ringing]
Paolo! You seen Nathan?
- No.
- Not at all?
- Call me if you see him, yeah?
- I will.
Tell him I'm looking for him!
Excuse me, mate, have you seen
a guy with blue trousers on?
He's got blood on his face.
Sorry, have you seen someone
with blue trousers on...?
He's got, like,
blood on his face.
You are my little love...
[Humming]
Excuse me. Excuse me.
For fuck's sake!
Sorry, darling, you don't have
a couple of quid, do you? No?
I hope you have a lovely day.
Have a lovely day.
- Nathan! Nathan!
- [Nathan] Excuse me, sir.
I don't suppose you've got
a spare cigarette, do you?
I've just seen Jane
and that lot. He's fucked it up.
- Got my wallet?
- Huh?
Got my wallet?
No. Why would I take
your wallet?
Cos you're a fucking
little snake.
Why would I take your wallet?
You're the only one who knows
where I hide my stuff.
I would never do that to you,
come on, man. Relax.
- Let me check your pockets.
- Why would I take your wallet?
Calm down a second.
Calm down a second.
Give me my wallet, man.
It's not a joke!
Let me check
your fucking pockets.
You ain't checking my pockets...
Why you fucking running away,
then?
Give me my fucking wallet!
You fucking...
Fuck off me, man!
[Muffled screaming]
Fucking prick!
My fucking wallet, man!
- Hey, come on, get off him.
- Fuck off!
- Come on, now.
- My fucking wallet!
Leave it, leave it.
Get off him.
Get off me!
Get him off me, bro!
Come on, calm down.
[Panting]
You have got it.
Alright, move on, let him go.
I look out for you, man,
and this is how you...
[Nathan] You owe me money
anyway, you dickhead.
How can you say
that's looking out...?
I have,
I looked out for you.
What you crying for, man?
Give me my money back.
- Ain't crying.
- Where is it? It's not in here.
Let him walk away now,
it's done now, alright?
- Give me my money back.
- Haven't got it.
Know what, man?
It's one rule for you and...
Fucking prick!
It's one rule for you,
and a different rule
for everyone else,
you fucking dickhead!
- Guys...
- It's always on the other side!
- Just let him go.
- Fuck off.
You alright now?
Can I get you something?
- Yeah, my money back.
- What was that?
Get me a beer!
I'll get you a soft drink,
yeah?
[Busker playing violin]
[Simon] Hey, here you go, mate.
Thanks, man.
I'm sorry about that. I was
in a bit of a huff earlier.
- Oh, don't worry. It's okay.
- You work here, then?
- The city?
- Yeah.
I mean, like, yeah,
ultimately, yeah. Yeah, I do.
But "ultimately"? What's that?
Just I'm here most days,
but I've got offices all over.
Got it.
You move around a lot.
Yeah.
That's nice.
Keep it different.
You sure I can't get you
anything else, food-wise?
There's a bagel place
a few minutes' walk away...
Or if you've got cash,
I could go grab one myself.
Yeah, I can... Don't worry,
I'll get it for you.
- Really?
- Yeah, let's go.
I can get it
if you gotta head off...
No, it's alright. Come on.
- Let's go. Where is it?
- Just round there. Thanks, man.
Alright.
Yeah, it's funny, isn't it?
There's a gap in empathy,
you know?
It becomes normalised for them.
- For who?
- The government.
You know, it's like
certain politicians
showing up at social causes,
like public displays
of good will and...
What's it called
when they do that?
Anyway,
it's like they don't give a shit
and don't care, you know?
It's just ridiculous
how disconnected they are.
Do you ever watch the news,
or do you stay away from it?
- I don't have a TV.
- Oh, of course. Sorry.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
- Do you buy watches?
- Yeah, yeah.
- How old is it?
- I don't know.
It's basically new.
It's in really good condition.
It's got a few scratches
on the front...
Yeah, how much do you want
for it?
Let me have a look
at the model.
Sorry, I just gotta go.
So, can you just tell me?
Do you want it or not?
Sorry, I just... I gotta go.
Uh... I don't know,
maybe forty.
Forty? Nah, nah, nah.
That's hundreds of pounds there.
You wanted me to give you
a price, so...
Alright, go on, then,
check it.
Just give me a minute
and I'll check it.
Alright, come on, then.
Just give us your best price...
- Forty?
- I said forty...
Alright, forty, yeah.
Forty's great.
- You want forty?
- Forty's good, yeah.
- Forty.
- Great.
[Officer] Excuse me, mate.
Excuse me.
Stop walking for a sec.
Take your bag off for me.
Just take your bag off.
You're under arrest
on suspicion of robbery.
You don't have
to say anything, but...
Well, I'll tell you the truth.
I had to defend myself.
Basically, he made a comment,
and then he shoved me.
- He shoved you first, did he?
- Yeah.
He shoved me really hard.
And I thought, "This is weird.
What does this guy want?"
I said something like,
"Excuse me,"
and he pushed me again.
So, I had to defend myself.
Right. Before we go any further,
I'd just like to remind you
that we do have
the whole incident on CCTV.
Fair enough.
Over here. Come on.
Your fucking hands are cold!
I know. Come on.
Hands on here.
Come here, come on.
- Warm your fucking hands up.
- Over here.
Can you warm your hands up
a bit?
Come on, put your hands up.
Yeah, so I've been arrested
again,
and I'm looking
at fourteen months,
but I'll hopefully only have
to do six or seven of those.
[Woman] 'Oh, Michael.'
[Woman sniffles and tuts]
[Water dripping]
What did you say?
I hope I don't see you
here again.
[Door lock buzzing]
- Mike?
- Hi.
So, if you do miss a session,
you'll be given a warning.
And then, you'll be given
five days
to provide evidence
as to why you missed it.
If that proves unacceptable,
you'll be getting
a warning letter.
So, three missed appointments,
and it's a recall, okay?
Just so you know that.
And we've set you up
at a local hostel.
One that is connected to us.
So, tell me about this job.
Yeah, I've got an interview
for a chef role in a hotel.
Okay. It's just an interview
to start with?
Yeah, just an interview.
Haven't got it yet.
Okay. When's that?
That's today,
a bit later on today.
Okay. And do you have
any family at all?
Parents around?
Yeah, it's... it's complicated
because they adopted me,
so it's a little bit...
Yeah, they're around, and
they're nice and that, but...
Okay. And...
Um... so, where am I staying?
I've set up your CAS3 for you
at the hostel.
Just got to double-check,
and give them a call,
find out what time
they can accept you.
And so,
what about after that?
Well, you'll be there for about
six to ten weeks, so...
Sorry, I mean after that,
when I'm done there long term.
Try not to worry about that
just yet, okay?
You've just got out, there's
a lot to wrap your head around.
We'll put you in touch
with a local authority,
and they'll make referrals
to housing.
But I have to be honest
with you, Mike,
you're not gonna be
top priority.
Why's that?
A young male with
previous convictions,
a history of violence,
no medical problems
or physical disabilities...
It's just gonna be harder,
to be honest.
I get that.
It's better that you know that
from the start.
But you know all this,
you've been through it before,
haven't you?
I'm not teaching you
to suck eggs. And...
Right, so we're clear on licence
and release plan, yeah?
Yes.
So, your first restorative
justice session
will be three sessions from now.
So... three weeks' time.
And then we'll have
a member of the RJ team
come in to chat with you,
prior to your session
with the victim Simon,
which should be
sometime the week after that.
- So, four weeks?
- Exactly.
Is that something
that you still want to do?
You know, you do have a choice.
Yeah, I think it'd be good
to sit down with him
and make it right. I'm ready.
Agreed.
Also, I had this idea
for a limousine...
A chauffeur company.
I don't know if there's anyone
that I can talk to
about possibly starting up...
Sorry, I've just got
to give the hostel a quick call,
double-check what time
your induction is, okay?
- Just bear with... Okay.
- [Phone ringing]
Hi. Hi, yes, it's Nadia.
[Woman] Look, we won't be
sleeping in that room tonight.
- It is absolutely filthy.
- It's damp.
- Shh, Mum.
And to be honest,
it's an absolute shithole.
Look, I'm really sorry about
that. I'll talk to the manager.
Leave it...
[Laughing] Don't kill me!
Hi. I have a meeting
with Franco.
- You got a meeting?
- Yeah.
So, why don't we start you off
with a trial shift,
and see how it goes?
- How's that?
- Okay, yeah, sounds good.
- Where are you staying at?
- In a hostel.
Were you working
before your sentence?
Yeah. I did
a few different things.
I worked
on some construction sites,
and I did litter refuge work.
What's that?
Basically, I was in control
of emptying bins
and picking up rubbish.
We're not high-end dining,
obviously.
We have a lot
of pre-made dishes.
It doesn't get busy down here,
except when we have functions
and stuff.
- I'm smoking quickly.
- Ramona, meet Mike.
He's doing a trial shift
with us.
- What for?
- Commis chef.
- Okay.
- Nice to meet you.
Yeah, so... enjoy yourself.
It's one of the best hotels
in London.
Is it?
Yeah, it's on the top list
in the UK. A hidden gem.
[Franco] Just go smoke.
And I'm not staying later
tonight!
And this is Diego.
[Diego] Okay,
talk to you later. Bye.
Listen, I spoke to George,
so I know about the assault.
But he didn't
go through details,
and I need to know
what happened.
Okay.
It's just because I'm gonna
have you in my kitchen,
I gotta get the facts.
It's just for me to know.
- I understand.
- You understand, right?
Basically,
he offered to buy me food,
and I stole his watch
and his money.
- Was he hurt?
- No. Not really.
- Okay. And was you using?
- Yeah.
- Are you still?
- No.
You sure?
Yeah. I've been sober
for seven months.
So, do you want
to start tonight?
Or do you need a few minutes
to... think about it?
- Tonight's good.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
I'm gonna first take you through
some of the equipment stuff,
and then, after that,
we go through safety.
- And then, after that, we...
- [Phone ringing]
One second.
Sorry, one second.
Would you like me to do
anything?
No.
Hello?
Yes, Chef! Yes, Chef!
[Rummaging and banging]
[Franco] Mike? Mike!
You can go home now.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Here's a little something.
- Cheers.
- Come for 1.00pm.
Okay, tomorrow.
Yeah.
Let's see how you go.
You don't have to do that,
you don't have to jump
in the bin.
Oh, it's just...
[Light switch clicking]
[Distant voices, trains passing]
[Gasping]
[Moaning]
- [Moaning on phone video]
- Fuck sake!
[Sighs heavily]
Really nice.
Yeah? How are the sleeves?
Well, you could turn them up.
Fits you well.
- Fits you really well.
- Yeah?
You know, I really like it.
You got some good bits in here.
- What shoe size are you?
- Ten.
We got a lovely pair of loafers
brought in the other day,
if you're interested?
I'll have a look, yeah.
That's eighteen pounds,
please.
Thank you.
- Can I get a bag, please?
- Certainly.
[Nathan] Do you have
a toilet, please?
- No, sorry.
- Just let me use it quickly.
Sorry, we don't have
customer toilets.
Why?
We just don't,
it's not in our policy.
That's silly.
Why? Just let me use your...
That's just the way it is.
That's stupid.
Let me use your one...
That's the rules of the shop.
Sorry.
- Please?
- No, I'm sorry.
[Woman on tape]
'It's about changing
'the way you speak
to yourself.
'Addressing yourself as "you",
"I" or "we".
'And the neuroscience
backs it up.
'We can influence our thoughts
heavily
'with this simple technique.
'Some examples include:
"You're going to be just fine."
'"Your possibilities
are endless."
'"My universe is expanding,
and I am in the driver's seat."
'"I have nothing
to worry about."
'There are multiple ways
to address yourself.
'Find whatever works for you,
and try it now.'
You're going to be just fine.
[Woman] 'How did it feel?
- 'Good.'
- Alright.
'Try it again.'
You're going to be just fine.
'Try it again.'
You're in the driver's seat.
'Try it again.'
You're in the driver's seat.
'Well done.'
[Ramona speaking Ukrainian]
[Footsteps approaching]
You're late.
[Continues in Ukrainian]
[Oven beeping]
Hey, I'll be back in five.
You'll be okay?
Yeah, just
finish prepping for me.
Mike,
- someone wants to speak to you.
- What? Who?
A customer
not happy with the food.
Table five. Steak.
- You did table five, right?
- Yeah, well, Diego...
No, I cooked the steak. Yeah.
Can you get Franco?
- Is he in his office?
- He's in a meeting.
Look, I'm in the middle
of service.
Diego's just gone out
five seconds ago.
Can you just go get him?
He said he wants to speak
to the chef.
Can you speak to him
really quickly?
Okay, yup! Coming.
[Oven beeping]
Hi. Is everything okay?
Well, no, not really.
I hate to do this,
I really do...
- Would you eat that?
- What's wrong with it?
It's just red raw.
- You did ask for medium rare.
- No, don't say that.
Did you not ask
for medium rare?
Just medium.
And that's not even medium rare.
Okay, well...
You've eaten most of it now...
I just had a few bites.
Right...
- I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it.
- It's not about enjoying it.
It's not cooked
the way I asked for.
That's why I'm saying something.
You obviously didn't check it.
But if you'd told me
you weren't happy about it
before you ate it all...
Why has it, all of a sudden,
become my fault?
No, I'm not saying
it's your fault...
- Why are you arguing?
- I'm not trying to argue...
Look, it's...
It's simple. If I'm paying
for something, I expect it to be
the way I asked for it
in the first place, yes?
I understand that,
it's just I don't know
what you want me to do about it.
You've eaten most of it now.
Look, I didn't want to say
anything.
I thought it's just worth
saying something.
- Do you want a new meal?
- Yes. That'll be great.
[Breathing heavily]
[Exhaling]
Nadia, thanks very much
for the time.
It'll just be
five or ten minutes.
So, um...
So, next week,
I'll be facilitating
the meeting
between you and Simon.
Now, today, I want to try
and assess if you're still
in a safe headspace
to go through with this.
If there's any concerns at all,
you just have to raise them
to me, and we can go over them.
Scott, do you mind...
can you not do that voice?
- What voice?
- You're doing like a voice.
You don't talk to Nadia
like that,
but when you switch to me, you
do this sort of breathy voice...
I don't...
I think maybe it makes
other people feel comfortable.
But I'll be honest, Scott,
it just makes me feel
like a naughty kid.
I don't think he's trying
to be condescending here, Mike.
Nadia, it's fine.
Point taken.
I... I didn't realise
I was doing that.
- Um...
- You okay?
Yes, yes, I am.
I'm glad you said something.
I'm glad you did.
I'm glad you said something.
Okay.
No, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to give the impression
I was talking down to you.
I don't think
you were meaning to.
I just had to say, you know...
It just made me feel
like... well...
I'm sorry.
Honestly, Mike,
it's fine, it's fine.
I didn't realise. I think
it's just my manner, but...
So, what were you going to say?
No, wait, wait.
Skill is more important
than just looks, you know.
What?
No, no, no, no!
Yeah, wait.
Skill is sexy, you know.
Depends what skill.
I do not care!
Look, you could be
the smartest man alive,
and I still wouldn't go there.
But personally, I just have
basic physical standards, so...
- [Mike] I get that.
- Mind out. Mind out. Mind out.
Anyway, why are we
talking about skill?
We started on personality,
now we're talking about skill
like it's a talent competition!
You know what? I like to think
that I can deal with bad looks,
but you're right,
actually I am very shallow.
Yeah, I know you are!
I don't know
who she's acting for.
But do you know what?
You're allowed to be with
someone you're attracted to...
Yeah, but personality is
such a big part of attraction...
Yeah.
For example, you're funny or
something, it's very important.
No, no, I get that, I get that.
I do, I do, I do, yeah.
What's your type, Mike?
Um...
Just someone I love, I suppose.
[Sniggering]
- That's not a type!
- That's actually very sweet.
Cool. What do you mean
by that?
No, that came out wrong.
I guess I just mean someone
who's with me
for the right reasons.
Alright, cool.
When you put it like that...
- Hi. I'm in room 21.
- [Giggling]
And I don't seem to have
any ice in my room.
We'll...
we'll bring it up for you now.
- What?
- We'll bring it up.
If you go upstairs,
we'll bring it up.
Just... go!
[Mike] Should I go now?
What the fuck?
Yeah. Right.
Anyway... are you seeing anyone
at the moment?
Oh, no, no.
[Ramona] You are not dating
at all?
No, I'm not doing
all that stuff.
How come?
I'm just not...
Alright, cool. Well,
what are you doing tonight?
Nothing. Why?
- We're doing karaoke. Come.
- Yeah, come. Yeah.
No, no, I don't want
to intrude on your night.
- No, come on, man!
- It's going to be fun.
You're gonna enjoy yourself.
Seriously!
No, I don't really...
I don't sing.
Oh, stop it, man!
Listen, do you know what?
You're coming.
It's been decided.
- Okay.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Great stuff.
I gotta get changed first,
though.
Yeah. Me, too.
I'm gonna go home,
I'll text you the address,
get dressed all sexy, like,
and then meet us there
for 11.00.
- Is there a dress code?
- Not sexy, just wear...
No, no.
Sexy, that's the dress code
for you, rude boy.
Just wear whatever you want,
really.
Sexy!
[Woman on tape] 'We spend
a lot of time in our head,
'negatively impacting
our behaviour.
'The first step in this journey
is about unlocking
'the freedom and power within.
'Those steps to freedom

If you see me
walking down the street
Staring at the sky
and dragging my two feet
You just pass me by
It still makes me cry
But you can make me
whole again
And if you see me

Laughing and joking,
doing what I can
I won't put you down,
cos I want you around
You can make me whole again
Looking back
on when we first met
I cannot escape,
and I cannot forget
Baby, you're the one,
you still turn me on
You can make me whole again
Time is laying heavy
on my heart
Seems I've got too much of it,
since we've been apart
My friends make me smile,
if only for while
You can make me whole again
Looking back

I cannot escape,

Baby, you're the one,

- Excuse me!
You've got a nice, big,
pasty-shaped head!

Your shoes, man! They suck!
Oi! Your body's too big
for your legs!
Your body's too big...
Hey, fatty bum-bum!

I cannot escape,

Baby, you're the one,
you still turn me on
You can make me whole again

You still turn me on
You can make me whole again

'Notice how your body feels,
how it moves,
'the way it wants to embrace
or be embraced.
'You have strength now,
it surges through you.
'You are lightning.
'You are everything.
'Energy takes over
your every atom,
'forcing itself out of you.'
What? What?
'Your journey to self-discovery
is well under way.
'Your beam within
is shining bright.
'End of volume three.'
[Tape finishes]
[Sighs]
[Overlapping indistinct voices]
The whole Eastern philosophy
is really helping me,
but the meditation tape
is called "Breathe In The Beam".
But it's really good.
It's great.
You should try it, actually.
Anyway, anyway, I'm going on.
How are you, Nadia?
- You had your hair done?
- No, no, I haven't.
- It looks different.
- Does it?
Oh, I got you... something.
That's lovely.
[Chuckling]
It's just a little...
- A little thing.
- Where did you get it?
That's a good photo, actually.
Let me...
Smile.
Smile!
[Laughing]
Oh, my god. I went karaoke
the other night,
and, um... it was great.
I didn't drink or anything,
so don't worry about that,
but, um...
You know, I haven't done that
for a while.
God, you need me
to come and help tidy stuff
some up for you here, Nadia.
Don't... Just leave that,
please.
So, Mike, you remember
the reason we're here today.
We have Simon here,
with a member of the RJ team.
They're just
in a room next door.
I'm about to go
and get them in, okay?
Okay, yeah.
That's today, isn't it?
- You feeling good?
- Yeah.
-You okay?
-Yeah yeah, I'm okay.
Let's do it.
[Door opens]
Um...
- How are you doing?
- Yeah, good. How are you?
Good.
Okay, um...
So, Mike, we're here
to try to understand
the harm that was done
by the incident last year.
As you remember,
we agreed that Simon is going
to speak first today.
So, Simon, when you're ready.
Well, I guess, one of the
reasons why I wanted to do this
was to understand more.
It's a strange thing
to happen to anyone, so...
I think the violence
confused me the most.
Cos I was just trying to help.
The days after the attack
were particularly hard.
I had my daughter's birthday
around that time.
So, her seeing me like that,
with the cuts
and the bruising, well...
Yeah, it was tough.
I think she became
quite scared, in general,
coming to stay at mine...
...as if someone was going
to do it again,
but this time to her.
[Scott] Well, thank you, Simon,
for starting us off.
Mike, uh...
How are you feeling right now?
Okay.
Cool.
We're not going
to finish there, Mike.
We have quite a bit of time,
and there's no rush.
But if there's something you'd
like to express to Simon...
...now is your chance.
[Nervous tapping]
[Sighs heavily]
[Clears throat]
[Diego] Something's burning!
Hey, hey, hey!
Chicken's undercooked, and
the chips are cold, apparently.
- I didn't send this.
- I know.
- Who did?
- I don't know.
How many times
do I have to tell you?
Use the fucking prober!
Sorry, chef.
- Remake, chef!
- Thank you.
[Diego] Alright, table seven,
steak well done with chips!
What are you doing?
Just, please, go home.
Come back tomorrow.
[Diego] Table two,
large chips, please!
[Woman on tape] 'Walking towards
the end of the garden,
'you get to a set of doors
built into the ground.
'It's dark down there,
and the path is unclear.
'You reach down with one foot
to test the first step.
'It's sturdy and safe.
'You walk down a few more steps.
'Deep into the earth.
'Now, I invite you
to dive deeper and deeper.
'And deeper and...'
- Chop-chop.
- Fuck off.
What?
You tell me to chop-chop,
and piss off outside?
- I'm sick of it.
- What are you talking about?
I'm saying chop-chop
because you're chopping food.
Diego, you're on the phone
every five minutes.
You're leaving me
to do everything.
- Yeah, it's your job.
- No, it's not my job.
I shouldn't be plating up,
I shouldn't be speaking
to customers...
No, no, no.
If you overcooked your chicken,
you fucking deal with it.
- You're supposed to check it!
- You telling me how to my job?
- Fuck off!
- I'm talking to you!
Stop! Stop, stop!
Deal with this.
What's happening here?
You, finish this.
You, outside!
You know, you're forgetting
all the basics.
Overcooking, undercooking...
Franco, just give me a chance,
and I'll... I'll sort it out.
Hang on, I'm giving you
more than a chance.
I've been more than fair
with you, have I not, huh?
- Have I not?
- Yeah. You have.
Then, what?
It's like you're expecting
some sort of constant sympathy.
You're behaving like a kid.
You've got away
with multiple things.
It's just a lot, man.
It's like a new environment.
I know, I understand.
And I do like you.
But I can't take
this up-and-down business.
Sorry to be brutal like that,
but this is the way it is
in every kitchen.
Sorry, man, it's work.
Nothing personal.
I just don't have time for it.
So, that's it?
You're letting me go?
What do you want me to do?
Yeah? You're letting me go?
How do you expect
this situation to go?
Fuck off. Prick.
[Sirens blaring]
Hi, is that Lynne? Hi.
I worked for you
five or six years ago,
doing litter refuge
for the marathon and stuff.
I'm not sure if you remember me,
Michael Wiltshire.
Yeah. Hi.
Yeah, how's it going?
I'm good, I'm good,
I'm good, yeah.
I was actually just looking
for some work.
I don't know if you've got
any going at the moment.
I'm pretty flexible with hours.
[Tapping phone]
Right, as you all know,
the main concern for your areas
is the overflow of bins.
There's about two or three
on each patch.
Please keep on top of them.
It's not rocket science, okay?
Some of you might decide
to assign someone
to a specific area.
Andy, I'll let you
make those calls,
if you see it
getting out of hand.
Pickers and baggos aren't cheap.
Look after them.
You lose 'em, you pay for 'em.
Right, any questions?
Do we get given lunch?
You don't get lunch.
You bring your lunch.
Is that... Did everyone else...
has everyone else got lunch?
[All] Yeah.
I didn't bring lunch.
That's bullshit! Independence
doesn't come from that.
- No, but money is everything.
- Well, that's up to you.
How is that up to me?
Cos not everything's
tied to money.
Yeah, everything is tied to
money, everything costs money.
I think you can make the choice
to be free of that.
I don't think
that we have the option
- to be so picky with our lives.
- That's not what I mean.
Okay, what do you mean, then?
Well, like, I don't just mean
financial independence.
I guess I'm trying
to make a point
about doing things
on your terms,
like, you know,
you're the driver.
It's a clich,
but do you understand
what I'm saying about decisions?
I hear you. I just don't know
if I want that.
Well, okay, you need to be told
what to do. I understand.
It's okay,
I don't judge you for that.
It makes things easier,
you're right.
I'm just trying to do things
the other way round,
cos I was sleeping
on the streets for a while,
and I'm fine with that, but...
Yeah, I guess I need to be told
what to do.
Yeah, and that's okay.
For how long were you sleeping
on the streets?
Five years.
That's a while.
Hey, I forgot your name.
Mike.
Mike. Oh, yeah, I called you
Milo the other day.
Then I thought,
"Fuck, is that even his name?"
No, just Mike. We've done
quite a few shifts together.
Yeah, I know. I'm sorry.
Um...
What did you say the other day
about I seem like I'm on
the outskirts, or something...?
- I didn't say that.
- What did you say, then?
I meant you seem unaffected.
Okay, I'm gonna do
the bin over there.
Yeah.
And, yeah,
I bought this truck...
...to change it and make it
my home, you know?
This one, there.
- Oh, wow!
- Yes.
- That's amazing.
- Yeah, I like it a lot.
Are you allowed to be here?
No.
But I don't really care.
Like, if someone tells me to go,
I will leave, and it's fine.
How long have you been here?
Uh... two weeks, I think, yeah.
- Yeah, two weeks.
- It's really cool.
- Oh, you got some sweeties.
- Yeah.
Yeah, you can.
What's in here? Oh...
No, it's fine. It breaks
all the time. Leave it.
Mike, really, it's good.
Do you want to have a seat?
[Laughs]
Do you want to go up, in bed?
- Okay.
- Yeah?
Just, maybe...
Just remove your shoes.
[Giggling]
[Andrea] Ouch!
[Mike] Oh, wow.
You got some good stuff here.
[Andrea] Uh-huh...
- Hey, was that a bit quick?
- What?
In there.
- It was a bit quick, wasn't it?
- No. It was okay.
I just... I haven't had sex
for a while.
I would've liked it
to have lasted longer,
is what I'm saying, basically.
- How long?
- About five minutes, maybe.
No, you idiot.
How long since you last had sex?
Oh, um...
Two years.
It's not that long, come on.
I mean, I was in prison
for a bit also,
so that's partly why.
Eight months.
What did you do?
I stole somebody's watch.
You did eight months
for stealing a watch?
Uh-huh.
Basically... Come look.
Oh, that's nice.
Cute.
So, have long have you been
working with Lynne for?
- Um... one year.
- What were you doing before?
Um... well, I'm trying
to save some money
to open a truck
or a space or something...
To do what? What for?
Well, shakes, juices, mostly.
Small batch, all that.
Yeah, working for Lynne is
good,
but it's mindless, too,
and I can people-watch,
and think about how I'm gonna
build it, you know.
And what's "small batch"?
Small amounts of food.
- Why are you smiling?
- I'm not.
- Are you judging me?
- No, I'm not.
Cos I don't know
what small batch means?
No, I'm not.
Yeah, I have a business idea
also I wanna do.
Yeah? Like what?
- A chauffeur service.
- Chauffeur? Okay.
Like high-class.
Like you want to drive cars?
No, I'd hire people
to drive cars,
I'd be the manager.
Cool.
[Geese calling]
It was like the birth
of greed and power, Mike.
But you're
tearing it down for him.
- It was also positive.
- How?
In what ways
was it positive?
Agriculture, transportation, no?
Was there like a main event
that started the switch?
Listen, if there had been
no Industrial Revolution,
I can assure you that
we would be totally free
of this shitty, consumer,
capitalist culture.
You wouldn't be able
to drive your nice boat around,
though, Jerry.
So, that's a stupid thing
to say.
I don't need a boat.
- What boat you got?
- Narrowboat. It's really nice.
It's big.
It's where I live,
for fuck's sake, Zara!
Why are you trying to make me
feel guilty for it?
I work bloody hard.
[Zara] But it's big, though.
Yeah, but your tone is like...
Alright,
I'll stop on the history.
- I like the history.
- He liked the history.
You reading anything
at the moment, Mike?
[Mike] Um...
No, not really.
But I'm listening to a lot of
meditation tapes and stuff.
- I'm really enjoying that.
- Hmm... Nice, nice.
- Did you study?
- How do you mean?
- Well, uni or anything?
- No, I left school quite young.
Good for you. Modern education
is a conspiracy, anyway.
I was destroyed by it.
What the fuck
are you on about, man?
You know, it's hard
being Jerry sometimes.
He's always under such scrutiny
and oppression.
No, no, I'm only talking
generally.
I am aware of my own privilege.
That's not enough.
- No, it's not enough.
- Oh, come on, right.
I said, as a society,
as a group...
And I'm working class, right?
And we have suffered years
of classism and fascism, no?
- You are middle class.
- Don't be so ridic...!
- Yes, you are.
- That is absolutely ridiculous.
No, I'm not. I'm fucking not.
I'm not, no.
I'll have one of those.
- Yeah, take one...
- Ow, fuck, that's hot!
- What did you do that for?
- I really don't know.
I blame Miguel,
or Michael, or whatever...
It's Mike. His name's Mike.
Come here, you little fucker!
[Laughing]
Fucking come here!
Come here, give us a cuddle!
Give us a cuddle,
come on, come on.
No, it's all right,
it's all right.
Oh, dear, oh, dear.
Phew...
- There you are.
- I'm gonna have some K.
You can never get into these
fucking things when you need to.
Bloody hell.
Oops.
There you are.
Oh, you do spoil me, Andrea.
Thank you.
- Do you want some, Zara?
- No. Later, later.
- You want some, Mike?
- No, I'm good.
- Actually, what is it?
- Ketamine.
It's nice, sharp K.
It's nice stuff.
[DESIRELESS: "Voyage Voyage"]
[Ecstatic screaming]
Stop shouting!
- Can I have some?
- Yeah.
- Are we close?
- Um... Yeah, it's there.
- Can I have some?
- Huh?
- Can I have some?
- I don't have it.
Can I have some?

[Muffled voice speaking]
Hi, Nadia.
I thought I would leave you
a quick voicemail.
I'm sure you're aware already,
but my hostel is kicking me out
in two days,
and I'm a little bit confused
as to where I'm supposed
to go from here.
I mean, can you sort
something or...?
Is that your job?
Is that someone else's job?
I don't know, but...
I tried to speak
to the hostel in South,
they said they were full,
and there's nothing else on.
So, is it Housing I need
to talk to, or the Council?
If you could just call me back,
that would be great. Okay.
Thanks. Bye.
Ah!
[Huffing]
No. No, it's liquid, asshole!
[Speaking French]
Hello? We have
so much to do still.
You can't go to sleep.
Hey, Mike? Get up!
- Hello!
- What are you doing?
Sorry. I just...
...closed my eyes for a second.
Well, hurry up.
You could've at least taken
your bib off, no?
Okay, do the right side.
Do the right side, this side.
- What did she say?
- I lost the job.
That guy told her.
What's his name?
That fucking guy we work with.
He fucking told on me.
I wish you would've told me
you were sober.
Well, it's fine,
it's just a little blow out.
I'll be back on it Monday.
It's not a big deal.
So, this is a good book, is it?
Yeah, it's okay. It's good.
- Do you want a bit?
- No.
What do you think we live for,
Andrea?
- No, let's not go there, no.
- [Laughing] What?
- No, no, I'm too stoned now.
- You love this shit!
This is your favourite thing.
- Come on!
- Love. Love.
- Love?
- Yeah.
Well, happiness, joy,
sadness, melancholy, yeah...
Well, you're just listing
emotions now.
Well, no...
Well, yes, I am, but...
I saw something
that was like the happiness
that is steady but nice,
uncomplicated
without the big dips.
It's always going to have dips,
though, isn't it?
Let's be honest.
Anyway...
Hey, can I stay with you
for a bit? Do you mind?
For a few nights?
I don't know, cos I...
I don't have really much space
in here, so it's like...
Oh, okay, yeah. That's cool.
- And I... I move around lots.
- Yeah, yeah.
That's cool.
- Hey, it's small...
- Andrea, it's fine.
I'll find somewhere.
I don't give a fuck.
Why have you waited until now
to figure something out?
Um... Well, it's not as easy
as just figuring something out.
Yeah, but also the fact
that you just bought coke
with borrowed money.
- That's silly.
- I said I'd give it back.
Okay, forget about the coke,
then.
Your housing is literally
running out in a day,
so what are you going to do
about it?
Andrea, I literally just asked
if I could stay here,
and you said no,
so you just threw it back at me.
What do you want me
to fucking do?
Hey, come on,
we know each other...
what, it's been one week.
So, I'm not responsible for you.
I know that.
And I'm not required
to do that.
- I know that!
- Don't make me feel bad,
cos I don't have much space,
you know.
- Get on top of this yourself.
- I am doing that!
- Are you?
- I'm literally doing that!
Well, maybe I think
you're being a little bit lazy
about everything, you know.
Well, keep that to yourself.
You live in a caravan and
pick up shit for a living, so...
I don't really know
what you think
you're doing with your life.
And what are you doing, Mike?
Your stupid mates
and silly ideas about the world.
A fucking juice van?
Like, do it, then.
You've got a van.
Do it! What are you waiting for?
What are you doing
with your life, Andrea?
What makes you think
I'm gonna fucking listen to you?
Stupid fucking hippie.
Sorry, sorry.
You're disgusting.
You're so disgusting, like...
- What?
- Can you please leave?
I don't want you to be here,
so maybe take your stuff...
Take your fucking stuff!
Fucking get out of here!
Get the fuck out! Go!
Nathan? Where are you?
[Man speaking foreign language]
Who's this?
Do you know where Nathan is?
I can't understand you.
I can't hear you.
I can't hear you.
I can't fucking hear you!
- Yeah?
- Alright, Mary?
Wait a minute,
I've got a cat. Wait there.
Is Nathan here?
- Who the fuck are you?
- Mike. We've met.
- Have we?
- Yeah, we've met.
Have we?
Yeah, I've been round here
a few times.
Well, I ain't got a clue
who you are.
- Is Nathan here?
- Depends.
- Depends on what?
- Depends.
- What does it depend on?
- Has he done something wrong?
No, I just wanna talk to him
for a second.
- [Mary] Nathan!
- Yeah?
Who's that?
- Alright?
- Oh, man. What are you saying?
I called you,
someone else answered.
I lost my phone.
- So, you're living here now?
- Yeah, Mary let me move in.
Had a bit of a situation
with Demie and that lot.
Bruised one of my ribs
riding on one of those
electric scooters, and then...
yeah,
she just let me move in.
It's good, I just get
to look after the snake
and I just have to help her
a little bit.
- I got a job as well.
- Yeah?
Yeah, I'm working at the vet's
on the reception,
like almost full-time.
- A couple of months.
- Full-time?
Basically, yeah.
Nathan,
that's really good, man.
Yeah.
- Well done.
- Thank you.
Have you got anything on you?
No, I'm off all that now.
- Since when?
- Um...
Maybe a couple of months.
Come on, what you got, man?
[Nervous laughter]
I haven't.
I really like, just... yeah.
Yeah, I feel good, actually.
Where you staying?
You did a little stint?
Yeah.
Have you got any money?
- How much?
- Ten.
A tenner...?
Mary, could I just take
a little bit from the tin?
A little bit, yeah.
No. Just a little bit to sort...
There you go.
No... put it back, put it back.
- [Mary] Have you fed her yet?
- No, I'll do it now.
- I'm gonna give it back.
- I need it back, yeah?
You're winding her up, you are.
- Take that off.
- There you go,
that's just teasing.
Yeah, go on, go on.
[Mary and Nathan giggling]
[Mary] There you go.
- Ooh, she liked that!
- [Nathan] She liked that.
[Music over dialogue]
[Music over dialogue]
I'm only joking. I was joking...
- Is he okay?
- You good?
- You good?
- Is he okay?
This one, yeah? Spring Vodka?
Oh, come on, man.
It's 5.59.
Can you just let me off
like three quid...?
Sorry, it's too much.
Come on, just let me off.
I've forgotten my wallet.
- No, I'm sorry, I can't.
- Oh, come on, please, man.
- No.
- Please!
Why are you acting like this
for no reason?
I come in here all the time.
[Speaking Turkish]
I'll come back with leftovers
later, yeah. I'll drop it back.
I'll do that for you, my friend.
My friend?
Go and get your money
and come back.
Oh, for fuck's sake!
Why are you acting like this?
You're acting like this
for no reason.
What's wrong with you?
Why don't you trust me?
- Why don't you trust me?
- Can I get some long papers?
Why don't you trust me?
I'm an honest person.
I fucking work hard, I try...
I'm trying to be...
- One pound, yeah?
- You know?
Thank you.
Every day, I wake up
to this fucking feeling, man.
It's like someone's there, just
saying, "No, you can't come in!"
It's like, "No, no, no!
Not for you! Not for you!"
Do you ever feel like that?
- Alright, mate? Mate...
- Come on, man!
Would you like me
to call someone for you?
Your head is bleeding.
Hey! No, no, no!
What are you doing, man?
[Speaking Turkish]
Fucking hell, man.

[Man] Dalston.
That's where I've seen you.
- Yeah!
- Yes, yes.
What is it, a charity or what?
[Woman] Yeah, a charity.
Independent charity.
No, it's private.
It's a company.
It's not private,
it's not a company.
The woman on the desk said
that they get some government...
No, they don't. It's a charity.
They rely on donations.
It's a company.
- Stop it. Shush, now, yeah?
- I'm gonna go.
Alright, babe.
I'll see you later.
- Got a cigarette?
- Yeah, I got one. Here.
- You had a haircut?
- Yeah, that Isaac bloke did it.
He looks gorgeous, don't he?
Look at him!
Here, grab that, babe.
Don't he look lovely? Yeah...
Alright, I'm gonna go.
See you later!
[Distant alarm ringing]
Paolo! You seen Nathan?
- No.
- Not at all?
- Call me if you see him, yeah?
- I will.
Tell him I'm looking for him!
Excuse me, mate, have you seen
a guy with blue trousers on?
He's got blood on his face.
Sorry, have you seen someone
with blue trousers on...?
He's got, like,
blood on his face.
You are my little love...
[Humming]
Excuse me. Excuse me.
For fuck's sake!
Sorry, darling, you don't have
a couple of quid, do you? No?
I hope you have a lovely day.
Have a lovely day.
- Nathan! Nathan!
- [Nathan] Excuse me, sir.
I don't suppose you've got
a spare cigarette, do you?
I've just seen Jane
and that lot. He's fucked it up.
- Got my wallet?
- Huh?
Got my wallet?
No. Why would I take
your wallet?
Cos you're a fucking
little snake.
Why would I take your wallet?
You're the only one who knows
where I hide my stuff.
I would never do that to you,
come on, man. Relax.
- Let me check your pockets.
- Why would I take your wallet?
Calm down a second.
Calm down a second.
Give me my wallet, man.
It's not a joke!
Let me check
your fucking pockets.
You ain't checking my pockets...
Why you fucking running away,
then?
Give me my fucking wallet!
You fucking...
Fuck off me, man!
[Muffled screaming]
Fucking prick!
My fucking wallet, man!
- Hey, come on, get off him.
- Fuck off!
- Come on, now.
- My fucking wallet!
Leave it, leave it.
Get off him.
Get off me!
Get him off me, bro!
Come on, calm down.
[Panting]
You have got it.
Alright, move on, let him go.
I look out for you, man,
and this is how you...
[Nathan] You owe me money
anyway, you dickhead.
How can you say
that's looking out...?
I have,
I looked out for you.
What you crying for, man?
Give me my money back.
- Ain't crying.
- Where is it? It's not in here.
Let him walk away now,
it's done now, alright?
- Give me my money back.
- Haven't got it.
Know what, man?
It's one rule for you and...
Fucking prick!
It's one rule for you,
and a different rule
for everyone else,
you fucking dickhead!
- Guys...
- It's always on the other side!
- Just let him go.
- Fuck off.
You alright now?
Can I get you something?
- Yeah, my money back.
- What was that?
Get me a beer!
I'll get you a soft drink,
yeah?
[Busker playing violin]
[Simon] Hey, here you go, mate.
Thanks, man.
I'm sorry about that. I was
in a bit of a huff earlier.
- Oh, don't worry. It's okay.
- You work here, then?
- The city?
- Yeah.
I mean, like, yeah,
ultimately, yeah. Yeah, I do.
But "ultimately"? What's that?
Just I'm here most days,
but I've got offices all over.
Got it.
You move around a lot.
Yeah.
That's nice.
Keep it different.
You sure I can't get you
anything else, food-wise?
There's a bagel place
a few minutes' walk away...
Or if you've got cash,
I could go grab one myself.
Yeah, I can... Don't worry,
I'll get it for you.
- Really?
- Yeah, let's go.
I can get it
if you gotta head off...
No, it's alright. Come on.
- Let's go. Where is it?
- Just round there. Thanks, man.
Alright.
Yeah, it's funny, isn't it?
There's a gap in empathy,
you know?
It becomes normalised for them.
- For who?
- The government.
You know, it's like
certain politicians
showing up at social causes,
like public displays
of good will and...
What's it called
when they do that?
Anyway,
it's like they don't give a shit
and don't care, you know?
It's just ridiculous
how disconnected they are.
Do you ever watch the news,
or do you stay away from it?
- I don't have a TV.
- Oh, of course. Sorry.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
- Do you buy watches?
- Yeah, yeah.
- How old is it?
- I don't know.
It's basically new.
It's in really good condition.
It's got a few scratches
on the front...
Yeah, how much do you want
for it?
Let me have a look
at the model.
Sorry, I just gotta go.
So, can you just tell me?
Do you want it or not?
Sorry, I just... I gotta go.
Uh... I don't know,
maybe forty.
Forty? Nah, nah, nah.
That's hundreds of pounds there.
You wanted me to give you
a price, so...
Alright, go on, then,
check it.
Just give me a minute
and I'll check it.
Alright, come on, then.
Just give us your best price...
- Forty?
- I said forty...
Alright, forty, yeah.
Forty's great.
- You want forty?
- Forty's good, yeah.
- Forty.
- Great.
[Officer] Excuse me, mate.
Excuse me.
Stop walking for a sec.
Take your bag off for me.
Just take your bag off.
You're under arrest
on suspicion of robbery.
You don't have
to say anything, but...
Well, I'll tell you the truth.
I had to defend myself.
Basically, he made a comment,
and then he shoved me.
- He shoved you first, did he?
- Yeah.
He shoved me really hard.
And I thought, "This is weird.
What does this guy want?"
I said something like,
"Excuse me,"
and he pushed me again.
So, I had to defend myself.
Right. Before we go any further,
I'd just like to remind you
that we do have
the whole incident on CCTV.
Fair enough.
Over here. Come on.
Your fucking hands are cold!
I know. Come on.
Hands on here.
Come here, come on.
- Warm your fucking hands up.
- Over here.
Can you warm your hands up
a bit?
Come on, put your hands up.
Yeah, so I've been arrested
again,
and I'm looking
at fourteen months,
but I'll hopefully only have
to do six or seven of those.
[Woman] 'Oh, Michael.'
[Woman sniffles and tuts]
[Water dripping]
What did you say?
I hope I don't see you
here again.
[Door lock buzzing]
- Mike?
- Hi.
So, if you do miss a session,
you'll be given a warning.
And then, you'll be given
five days
to provide evidence
as to why you missed it.
If that proves unacceptable,
you'll be getting
a warning letter.
So, three missed appointments,
and it's a recall, okay?
Just so you know that.
And we've set you up
at a local hostel.
One that is connected to us.
So, tell me about this job.
Yeah, I've got an interview
for a chef role in a hotel.
Okay. It's just an interview
to start with?
Yeah, just an interview.
Haven't got it yet.
Okay. When's that?
That's today,
a bit later on today.
Okay. And do you have
any family at all?
Parents around?
Yeah, it's... it's complicated
because they adopted me,
so it's a little bit...
Yeah, they're around, and
they're nice and that, but...
Okay. And...
Um... so, where am I staying?
I've set up your CAS3 for you
at the hostel.
Just got to double-check,
and give them a call,
find out what time
they can accept you.
And so,
what about after that?
Well, you'll be there for about
six to ten weeks, so...
Sorry, I mean after that,
when I'm done there long term.
Try not to worry about that
just yet, okay?
You've just got out, there's
a lot to wrap your head around.
We'll put you in touch
with a local authority,
and they'll make referrals
to housing.
But I have to be honest
with you, Mike,
you're not gonna be
top priority.
Why's that?
A young male with
previous convictions,
a history of violence,
no medical problems
or physical disabilities...
It's just gonna be harder,
to be honest.
I get that.
It's better that you know that
from the start.
But you know all this,
you've been through it before,
haven't you?
I'm not teaching you
to suck eggs. And...
Right, so we're clear on licence
and release plan, yeah?
Yes.
So, your first restorative
justice session
will be three sessions from now.
So... three weeks' time.
And then we'll have
a member of the RJ team
come in to chat with you,
prior to your session
with the victim Simon,
which should be
sometime the week after that.
- So, four weeks?
- Exactly.
Is that something
that you still want to do?
You know, you do have a choice.
Yeah, I think it'd be good
to sit down with him
and make it right. I'm ready.
Agreed.
Also, I had this idea
for a limousine...
A chauffeur company.
I don't know if there's anyone
that I can talk to
about possibly starting up...
Sorry, I've just got
to give the hostel a quick call,
double-check what time
your induction is, okay?
- Just bear with... Okay.
- [Phone ringing]
Hi. Hi, yes, it's Nadia.
[Woman] Look, we won't be
sleeping in that room tonight.
- It is absolutely filthy.
- It's damp.
- Shh, Mum.
And to be honest,
it's an absolute shithole.
Look, I'm really sorry about
that. I'll talk to the manager.
Leave it...
[Laughing] Don't kill me!
Hi. I have a meeting
with Franco.
- You got a meeting?
- Yeah.
So, why don't we start you off
with a trial shift,
and see how it goes?
- How's that?
- Okay, yeah, sounds good.
- Where are you staying at?
- In a hostel.
Were you working
before your sentence?
Yeah. I did
a few different things.
I worked
on some construction sites,
and I did litter refuge work.
What's that?
Basically, I was in control
of emptying bins
and picking up rubbish.
We're not high-end dining,
obviously.
We have a lot
of pre-made dishes.
It doesn't get busy down here,
except when we have functions
and stuff.
- I'm smoking quickly.
- Ramona, meet Mike.
He's doing a trial shift
with us.
- What for?
- Commis chef.
- Okay.
- Nice to meet you.
Yeah, so... enjoy yourself.
It's one of the best hotels
in London.
Is it?
Yeah, it's on the top list
in the UK. A hidden gem.
[Franco] Just go smoke.
And I'm not staying later
tonight!
And this is Diego.
[Diego] Okay,
talk to you later. Bye.
Listen, I spoke to George,
so I know about the assault.
But he didn't
go through details,
and I need to know
what happened.
Okay.
It's just because I'm gonna
have you in my kitchen,
I gotta get the facts.
It's just for me to know.
- I understand.
- You understand, right?
Basically,
he offered to buy me food,
and I stole his watch
and his money.
- Was he hurt?
- No. Not really.
- Okay. And was you using?
- Yeah.
- Are you still?
- No.
You sure?
Yeah. I've been sober
for seven months.
So, do you want
to start tonight?
Or do you need a few minutes
to... think about it?
- Tonight's good.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
I'm gonna first take you through
some of the equipment stuff,
and then, after that,
we go through safety.
- And then, after that, we...
- [Phone ringing]
One second.
Sorry, one second.
Would you like me to do
anything?
No.
Hello?
Yes, Chef! Yes, Chef!
[Rummaging and banging]
[Franco] Mike? Mike!
You can go home now.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Here's a little something.
- Cheers.
- Come for 1.00pm.
Okay, tomorrow.
Yeah.
Let's see how you go.
You don't have to do that,
you don't have to jump
in the bin.
Oh, it's just...
[Light switch clicking]
[Distant voices, trains passing]
[Gasping]
[Moaning]
- [Moaning on phone video]
- Fuck sake!
[Sighs heavily]
Really nice.
Yeah? How are the sleeves?
Well, you could turn them up.
Fits you well.
- Fits you really well.
- Yeah?
You know, I really like it.
You got some good bits in here.
- What shoe size are you?
- Ten.
We got a lovely pair of loafers
brought in the other day,
if you're interested?
I'll have a look, yeah.
That's eighteen pounds,
please.
Thank you.
- Can I get a bag, please?
- Certainly.
[Nathan] Do you have
a toilet, please?
- No, sorry.
- Just let me use it quickly.
Sorry, we don't have
customer toilets.
Why?
We just don't,
it's not in our policy.
That's silly.
Why? Just let me use your...
That's just the way it is.
That's stupid.
Let me use your one...
That's the rules of the shop.
Sorry.
- Please?
- No, I'm sorry.

[Ramona speaking Ukrainian]
[Footsteps approaching]
You're late.
[Continues in Ukrainian]
[Oven beeping]
Hey, I'll be back in five.
You'll be okay?
Yeah, just
finish prepping for me.
Mike,
- someone wants to speak to you.
- What? Who?
A customer
not happy with the food.
Table five. Steak.
- You did table five, right?
- Yeah, well, Diego...
No, I cooked the steak. Yeah.
Can you get Franco?
- Is he in his office?
- He's in a meeting.
Look, I'm in the middle
of service.
Diego's just gone out
five seconds ago.
Can you just go get him?
He said he wants to speak
to the chef.
Can you speak to him
really quickly?
Okay, yup! Coming.
[Oven beeping]
Hi. Is everything okay?
Well, no, not really.
I hate to do this,
I really do...
- Would you eat that?
- What's wrong with it?
It's just red raw.
- You did ask for medium rare.
- No, don't say that.
Did you not ask
for medium rare?
Just medium.
And that's not even medium rare.
Okay, well...
You've eaten most of it now...
I just had a few bites.
Right...
- I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it.
- It's not about enjoying it.
It's not cooked
the way I asked for.
That's why I'm saying something.
You obviously didn't check it.
But if you'd told me
you weren't happy about it
before you ate it all...
Why has it, all of a sudden,
become my fault?
No, I'm not saying
it's your fault...
- Why are you arguing?
- I'm not trying to argue...
Look, it's...
It's simple. If I'm paying
for something, I expect it to be
the way I asked for it
in the first place, yes?
I understand that,
it's just I don't know
what you want me to do about it.
You've eaten most of it now.
Look, I didn't want to say
anything.
I thought it's just worth
saying something.
- Do you want a new meal?
- Yes. That'll be great.
[Breathing heavily]
[Exhaling]
Nadia, thanks very much
for the time.
It'll just be
five or ten minutes.
So, um...
So, next week,
I'll be facilitating
the meeting
between you and Simon.
Now, today, I want to try
and assess if you're still
in a safe headspace
to go through with this.
If there's any concerns at all,
you just have to raise them
to me, and we can go over them.
Scott, do you mind...
can you not do that voice?
- What voice?
- You're doing like a voice.
You don't talk to Nadia
like that,
but when you switch to me, you
do this sort of breathy voice...
I don't...
I think maybe it makes
other people feel comfortable.
But I'll be honest, Scott,
it just makes me feel
like a naughty kid.
I don't think he's trying
to be condescending here, Mike.
Nadia, it's fine.
Point taken.
I... I didn't realise
I was doing that.
- Um...
- You okay?
Yes, yes, I am.
I'm glad you said something.
I'm glad you did.
I'm glad you said something.
Okay.
No, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to give the impression
I was talking down to you.
I don't think
you were meaning to.
I just had to say, you know...
It just made me feel
like... well...
I'm sorry.
Honestly, Mike,
it's fine, it's fine.
I didn't realise. I think
it's just my manner, but...
So, what were you going to say?
No, wait, wait.
Skill is more important
than just looks, you know.
What?
No, no, no, no!
Yeah, wait.
Skill is sexy, you know.
Depends what skill.
I do not care!
Look, you could be
the smartest man alive,
and I still wouldn't go there.
But personally, I just have
basic physical standards, so...
- [Mike] I get that.
- Mind out. Mind out. Mind out.
Anyway, why are we
talking about skill?
We started on personality,
now we're talking about skill
like it's a talent competition!
You know what? I like to think
that I can deal with bad looks,
but you're right,
actually I am very shallow.
Yeah, I know you are!
I don't know
who she's acting for.
But do you know what?
You're allowed to be with
someone you're attracted to...
Yeah, but personality is
such a big part of attraction...
Yeah.
For example, you're funny or
something, it's very important.
No, no, I get that, I get that.
I do, I do, I do, yeah.
What's your type, Mike?
Um...
Just someone I love, I suppose.
[Sniggering]
- That's not a type!
- That's actually very sweet.
Cool. What do you mean
by that?
No, that came out wrong.
I guess I just mean someone
who's with me
for the right reasons.
Alright, cool.
When you put it like that...
- Hi. I'm in room 21.
- [Giggling]
And I don't seem to have
any ice in my room.
We'll...
we'll bring it up for you now.
- What?
- We'll bring it up.
If you go upstairs,
we'll bring it up.
Just... go!
[Mike] Should I go now?
What the fuck?
Yeah. Right.
Anyway... are you seeing anyone
at the moment?
Oh, no, no.
[Ramona] You are not dating
at all?
No, I'm not doing
all that stuff.
How come?
I'm just not...
Alright, cool. Well,
what are you doing tonight?
Nothing. Why?
- We're doing karaoke. Come.
- Yeah, come. Yeah.
No, no, I don't want
to intrude on your night.
- No, come on, man!
- It's going to be fun.
You're gonna enjoy yourself.
Seriously!
No, I don't really...
I don't sing.
Oh, stop it, man!
Listen, do you know what?
You're coming.
It's been decided.
- Okay.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Great stuff.
I gotta get changed first,
though.
Yeah. Me, too.
I'm gonna go home,
I'll text you the address,
get dressed all sexy, like,
and then meet us there
for 11.00.
- Is there a dress code?
- Not sexy, just wear...
No, no.
Sexy, that's the dress code
for you, rude boy.
Just wear whatever you want,
really.
Sexy!

How are you, Nadia?
- You had your hair done?
- No, no, I haven't.
- It looks different.
- Does it?
Oh, I got you... something.
That's lovely.
[Chuckling]
It's just a little...
- A little thing.
- Where did you get it?
That's a good photo, actually.
Let me...
Smile.
Smile!
[Laughing]
Oh, my god. I went karaoke
the other night,
and, um... it was great.
I didn't drink or anything,
so don't worry about that,
but, um...
You know, I haven't done that
for a while.
God, you need me
to come and help tidy stuff
some up for you here, Nadia.
Don't... Just leave that,
please.
So, Mike, you remember
the reason we're here today.
We have Simon here,
with a member of the RJ team.
They're just
in a room next door.
I'm about to go
and get them in, okay?
Okay, yeah.
That's today, isn't it?
- You feeling good?
- Yeah.
-You okay?
-Yeah yeah, I'm okay.
Let's do it.
[Door opens]
Um...
- How are you doing?
- Yeah, good. How are you?
Good.
Okay, um...
So, Mike, we're here
to try to understand
the harm that was done
by the incident last year.
As you remember,
we agreed that Simon is going
to speak first today.
So, Simon, when you're ready.
Well, I guess, one of the
reasons why I wanted to do this
was to understand more.
It's a strange thing
to happen to anyone, so...
I think the violence
confused me the most.
Cos I was just trying to help.
The days after the attack
were particularly hard.
I had my daughter's birthday
around that time.
So, her seeing me like that,
with the cuts
and the bruising, well...
Yeah, it was tough.
I think she became
quite scared, in general,
coming to stay at mine...
...as if someone was going
to do it again,
but this time to her.
[Scott] Well, thank you, Simon,
for starting us off.
Mike, uh...
How are you feeling right now?
Okay.
Cool.
We're not going
to finish there, Mike.
We have quite a bit of time,
and there's no rush.
But if there's something you'd
like to express to Simon...
...now is your chance.
[Nervous tapping]
[Sighs heavily]
[Clears throat]
[Diego] Something's burning!
Hey, hey, hey!
Chicken's undercooked, and
the chips are cold, apparently.
- I didn't send this.
- I know.
- Who did?
- I don't know.
How many times
do I have to tell you?
Use the fucking prober!
Sorry, chef.
- Remake, chef!
- Thank you.
[Diego] Alright, table seven,
steak well done with chips!
What are you doing?
Just, please, go home.
Come back tomorrow.
[Diego] Table two,
large chips, please!
[Woman on tape] 'Walking towards
the end of the garden,
'you get to a set of doors
built into the ground.
'It's dark down there,
and the path is unclear.
'You reach down with one foot
to test the first step.
'It's sturdy and safe.
'You walk down a few more steps.
'Deep into the earth.
'Now, I invite you
to dive deeper and deeper.
'And deeper and...'
- Chop-chop.
- Fuck off.
What?
You tell me to chop-chop,
and piss off outside?
- I'm sick of it.
- What are you talking about?
I'm saying chop-chop
because you're chopping food.
Diego, you're on the phone
every five minutes.
You're leaving me
to do everything.
- Yeah, it's your job.
- No, it's not my job.
I shouldn't be plating up,
I shouldn't be speaking
to customers...
No, no, no.
If you overcooked your chicken,
you fucking deal with it.
- You're supposed to check it!
- You telling me how to my job?
- Fuck off!
- I'm talking to you!
Stop! Stop, stop!
Deal with this.
What's happening here?
You, finish this.
You, outside!
You know, you're forgetting
all the basics.
Overcooking, undercooking...
Franco, just give me a chance,
and I'll... I'll sort it out.
Hang on, I'm giving you
more than a chance.
I've been more than fair
with you, have I not, huh?
- Have I not?
- Yeah. You have.
Then, what?
It's like you're expecting
some sort of constant sympathy.
You're behaving like a kid.
You've got away
with multiple things.
It's just a lot, man.
It's like a new environment.
I know, I understand.
And I do like you.
But I can't take
this up-and-down business.
Sorry to be brutal like that,
but this is the way it is
in every kitchen.
Sorry, man, it's work.
Nothing personal.
I just don't have time for it.
So, that's it?
You're letting me go?
What do you want me to do?
Yeah? You're letting me go?
How do you expect
this situation to go?
Fuck off. Prick.
[Sirens blaring]
Hi, is that Lynne? Hi.
I worked for you
five or six years ago,
doing litter refuge
for the marathon and stuff.
I'm not sure if you remember me,
Michael Wiltshire.
Yeah. Hi.
Yeah, how's it going?
I'm good, I'm good,
I'm good, yeah.
I was actually just looking
for some work.
I don't know if you've got
any going at the moment.
I'm pretty flexible with hours.
[Tapping phone]
Right, as you all know,
the main concern for your areas
is the overflow of bins.
There's about two or three
on each patch.
Please keep on top of them.
It's not rocket science, okay?
Some of you might decide
to assign someone
to a specific area.
Andy, I'll let you
make those calls,
if you see it
getting out of hand.
Pickers and baggos aren't cheap.
Look after them.
You lose 'em, you pay for 'em.
Right, any questions?
Do we get given lunch?
You don't get lunch.
You bring your lunch.
Is that... Did everyone else...
has everyone else got lunch?
[All] Yeah.
I didn't bring lunch.
That's bullshit! Independence
doesn't come from that.
- No, but money is everything.
- Well, that's up to you.
How is that up to me?
Cos not everything's
tied to money.
Yeah, everything is tied to
money, everything costs money.
I think you can make the choice
to be free of that.
I don't think
that we have the option
- to be so picky with our lives.
- That's not what I mean.
Okay, what do you mean, then?
Well, like, I don't just mean
financial independence.
I guess I'm trying
to make a point
about doing things
on your terms,
like, you know,
you're the driver.
It's a clich,
but do you understand
what I'm saying about decisions?
I hear you. I just don't know
if I want that.
Well, okay, you need to be told
what to do. I understand.
It's okay,
I don't judge you for that.
It makes things easier,
you're right.
I'm just trying to do things
the other way round,
cos I was sleeping
on the streets for a while,
and I'm fine with that, but...
Yeah, I guess I need to be told
what to do.
Yeah, and that's okay.
For how long were you sleeping
on the streets?
Five years.
That's a while.
Hey, I forgot your name.
Mike.
Mike. Oh, yeah, I called you
Milo the other day.
Then I thought,
"Fuck, is that even his name?"
No, just Mike. We've done
quite a few shifts together.
Yeah, I know. I'm sorry.
Um...
What did you say the other day
about I seem like I'm on
the outskirts, or something...?
- I didn't say that.
- What did you say, then?
I meant you seem unaffected.
Okay, I'm gonna do
the bin over there.
Yeah.
And, yeah,
I bought this truck...
...to change it and make it
my home, you know?
This one, there.
- Oh, wow!
- Yes.
- That's amazing.
- Yeah, I like it a lot.
Are you allowed to be here?
No.
But I don't really care.
Like, if someone tells me to go,
I will leave, and it's fine.
How long have you been here?
Uh... two weeks, I think, yeah.
- Yeah, two weeks.
- It's really cool.
- Oh, you got some sweeties.
- Yeah.
Yeah, you can.
What's in here? Oh...
No, it's fine. It breaks
all the time. Leave it.
Mike, really, it's good.
Do you want to have a seat?
[Laughs]
Do you want to go up, in bed?
- Okay.
- Yeah?
Just, maybe...
Just remove your shoes.
[Giggling]
[Andrea] Ouch!
[Mike] Oh, wow.
You got some good stuff here.
[Andrea] Uh-huh...
- Hey, was that a bit quick?
- What?
In there.
- It was a bit quick, wasn't it?
- No. It was okay.
I just... I haven't had sex
for a while.
I would've liked it
to have lasted longer,
is what I'm saying, basically.
- How long?
- About five minutes, maybe.
No, you idiot.
How long since you last had sex?
Oh, um...
Two years.
It's not that long, come on.
I mean, I was in prison
for a bit also,
so that's partly why.
Eight months.
What did you do?
I stole somebody's watch.
You did eight months
for stealing a watch?
Uh-huh.
Basically... Come look.
Oh, that's nice.
Cute.
So, have long have you been
working with Lynne for?
- Um... one year.
- What were you doing before?
Um... well, I'm trying
to save some money
to open a truck
or a space or something...
To do what? What for?
Well, shakes, juices, mostly.
Small batch, all that.
Yeah, working for Lynne is
good,
but it's mindless, too,
and I can people-watch,
and think about how I'm gonna
build it, you know.
And what's "small batch"?
Small amounts of food.
- Why are you smiling?
- I'm not.
- Are you judging me?
- No, I'm not.
Cos I don't know
what small batch means?
No, I'm not.
Yeah, I have a business idea
also I wanna do.
Yeah? Like what?
- A chauffeur service.
- Chauffeur? Okay.
Like high-class.
Like you want to drive cars?
No, I'd hire people
to drive cars,
I'd be the manager.
Cool.
[Geese calling]
It was like the birth
of greed and power, Mike.
But you're
tearing it down for him.
- It was also positive.
- How?
In what ways
was it positive?
Agriculture, transportation, no?
Was there like a main event
that started the switch?
Listen, if there had been
no Industrial Revolution,
I can assure you that
we would be totally free
of this shitty, consumer,
capitalist culture.
You wouldn't be able
to drive your nice boat around,
though, Jerry.
So, that's a stupid thing
to say.
I don't need a boat.
- What boat you got?
- Narrowboat. It's really nice.
It's big.
It's where I live,
for fuck's sake, Zara!
Why are you trying to make me
feel guilty for it?
I work bloody hard.
[Zara] But it's big, though.
Yeah, but your tone is like...
Alright,
I'll stop on the history.
- I like the history.
- He liked the history.
You reading anything
at the moment, Mike?
[Mike] Um...
No, not really.
But I'm listening to a lot of
meditation tapes and stuff.
- I'm really enjoying that.
- Hmm... Nice, nice.
- Did you study?
- How do you mean?
- Well, uni or anything?
- No, I left school quite young.
Good for you. Modern education
is a conspiracy, anyway.
I was destroyed by it.
What the fuck
are you on about, man?
You know, it's hard
being Jerry sometimes.
He's always under such scrutiny
and oppression.
No, no, I'm only talking
generally.
I am aware of my own privilege.
That's not enough.
- No, it's not enough.
- Oh, come on, right.
I said, as a society,
as a group...
And I'm working class, right?
And we have suffered years
of classism and fascism, no?
- You are middle class.
- Don't be so ridic...!
- Yes, you are.
- That is absolutely ridiculous.
No, I'm not. I'm fucking not.
I'm not, no.
I'll have one of those.
- Yeah, take one...
- Ow, fuck, that's hot!
- What did you do that for?
- I really don't know.
I blame Miguel,
or Michael, or whatever...
It's Mike. His name's Mike.
Come here, you little fucker!
[Laughing]
Fucking come here!
Come here, give us a cuddle!
Give us a cuddle,
come on, come on.
No, it's all right,
it's all right.
Oh, dear, oh, dear.
Phew...
- There you are.
- I'm gonna have some K.
You can never get into these
fucking things when you need to.
Bloody hell.
Oops.
There you are.
Oh, you do spoil me, Andrea.
Thank you.
- Do you want some, Zara?
- No. Later, later.
- You want some, Mike?
- No, I'm good.
- Actually, what is it?
- Ketamine.
It's nice, sharp K.
It's nice stuff.
[DESIRELESS: "Voyage Voyage"]
[Ecstatic screaming]
Stop shouting!
- Can I have some?
- Yeah.
- Are we close?
- Um... Yeah, it's there.
- Can I have some?
- Huh?
- Can I have some?
- I don't have it.
Can I have some?
[Muffled voices]
[Plangent music]
[Upbeat music crescendos]
[Chair legs scraping]

[Muffled voice speaking]
Hi, Nadia.
I thought I would leave you
a quick voicemail.
I'm sure you're aware already,
but my hostel is kicking me out
in two days,
and I'm a little bit confused
as to where I'm supposed
to go from here.
I mean, can you sort
something or...?
Is that your job?
Is that someone else's job?
I don't know, but...
I tried to speak
to the hostel in South,
they said they were full,
and there's nothing else on.
So, is it Housing I need
to talk to, or the Council?
If you could just call me back,
that would be great. Okay.
Thanks. Bye.
Ah!
[Huffing]
No. No, it's liquid, asshole!
[Speaking French]
Hello? We have
so much to do still.
You can't go to sleep.
Hey, Mike? Get up!
- Hello!
- What are you doing?
Sorry. I just...
...closed my eyes for a second.
Well, hurry up.
You could've at least taken
your bib off, no?
Okay, do the right side.
Do the right side, this side.
- What did she say?
- I lost the job.
That guy told her.
What's his name?
That fucking guy we work with.
He fucking told on me.
I wish you would've told me
you were sober.
Well, it's fine,
it's just a little blow out.
I'll be back on it Monday.
It's not a big deal.
So, this is a good book, is it?
Yeah, it's okay. It's good.
- Do you want a bit?
- No.
What do you think we live for,
Andrea?
- No, let's not go there, no.
- [Laughing] What?
- No, no, I'm too stoned now.
- You love this shit!
This is your favourite thing.
- Come on!
- Love. Love.
- Love?
- Yeah.
Well, happiness, joy,
sadness, melancholy, yeah...
Well, you're just listing
emotions now.
Well, no...
Well, yes, I am, but...
I saw something
that was like the happiness
that is steady but nice,
uncomplicated
without the big dips.
It's always going to have dips,
though, isn't it?
Let's be honest.
Anyway...
Hey, can I stay with you
for a bit? Do you mind?
For a few nights?
I don't know, cos I...
I don't have really much space
in here, so it's like...
Oh, okay, yeah. That's cool.
- And I... I move around lots.
- Yeah, yeah.
That's cool.
- Hey, it's small...
- Andrea, it's fine.
I'll find somewhere.
I don't give a fuck.
Why have you waited until now
to figure something out?
Um... Well, it's not as easy
as just figuring something out.
Yeah, but also the fact
that you just bought coke
with borrowed money.
- That's silly.
- I said I'd give it back.
Okay, forget about the coke,
then.
Your housing is literally
running out in a day,
so what are you going to do
about it?
Andrea, I literally just asked
if I could stay here,
and you said no,
so you just threw it back at me.
What do you want me
to fucking do?
Hey, come on,
we know each other...
what, it's been one week.
So, I'm not responsible for you.
I know that.
And I'm not required
to do that.
- I know that!
- Don't make me feel bad,
cos I don't have much space,
you know.
- Get on top of this yourself.
- I am doing that!
- Are you?
- I'm literally doing that!
Well, maybe I think
you're being a little bit lazy
about everything, you know.
Well, keep that to yourself.
You live in a caravan and
pick up shit for a living, so...
I don't really know
what you think
you're doing with your life.
And what are you doing, Mike?
Your stupid mates
and silly ideas about the world.
A fucking juice van?
Like, do it, then.
You've got a van.
Do it! What are you waiting for?
What are you doing
with your life, Andrea?
What makes you think
I'm gonna fucking listen to you?
Stupid fucking hippie.
Sorry, sorry.
You're disgusting.
You're so disgusting, like...
- What?
- Can you please leave?
I don't want you to be here,
so maybe take your stuff...
Take your fucking stuff!
Fucking get out of here!
Get the fuck out! Go!
Nathan? Where are you?
[Man speaking foreign language]
Who's this?
Do you know where Nathan is?
I can't understand you.
I can't hear you.
I can't hear you.
I can't fucking hear you!
- Yeah?
- Alright, Mary?
Wait a minute,
I've got a cat. Wait there.
Is Nathan here?
- Who the fuck are you?
- Mike. We've met.
- Have we?
- Yeah, we've met.
Have we?
Yeah, I've been round here
a few times.
Well, I ain't got a clue
who you are.
- Is Nathan here?
- Depends.
- Depends on what?
- Depends.
- What does it depend on?
- Has he done something wrong?
No, I just wanna talk to him
for a second.
- [Mary] Nathan!
- Yeah?
Who's that?
- Alright?
- Oh, man. What are you saying?
I called you,
someone else answered.
I lost my phone.
- So, you're living here now?
- Yeah, Mary let me move in.
Had a bit of a situation
with Demie and that lot.
Bruised one of my ribs
riding on one of those
electric scooters, and then...
yeah,
she just let me move in.
It's good, I just get
to look after the snake
and I just have to help her
a little bit.
- I got a job as well.
- Yeah?
Yeah, I'm working at the vet's
on the reception,
like almost full-time.
- A couple of months.
- Full-time?
Basically, yeah.
Nathan,
that's really good, man.
Yeah.
- Well done.
- Thank you.
Have you got anything on you?
No, I'm off all that now.
- Since when?
- Um...
Maybe a couple of months.
Come on, what you got, man?
[Nervous laughter]
I haven't.
I really like, just... yeah.
Yeah, I feel good, actually.
Where you staying?
You did a little stint?
Yeah.
Have you got any money?
- How much?
- Ten.
A tenner...?
Mary, could I just take
a little bit from the tin?
A little bit, yeah.
No. Just a little bit to sort...
There you go.
No... put it back, put it back.
- [Mary] Have you fed her yet?
- No, I'll do it now.
- I'm gonna give it back.
- I need it back, yeah?
You're winding her up, you are.
- Take that off.
- There you go,
that's just teasing.
Yeah, go on, go on.
[Mary and Nathan giggling]
[Mary] There you go.
- Ooh, she liked that!
- [Nathan] She liked that.
[Music over dialogue]
[Music over dialogue]
I'm only joking. I was joking...
- Is he okay?
- You good?
- You good?
- Is he okay?
This one, yeah? Spring Vodka?
Oh, come on, man.
It's 5.59.
Can you just let me off
like three quid...?
Sorry, it's too much.
Come on, just let me off.
I've forgotten my wallet.
- No, I'm sorry, I can't.
- Oh, come on, please, man.
- No.
- Please!
Why are you acting like this
for no reason?
I come in here all the time.
[Speaking Turkish]
I'll come back with leftovers
later, yeah. I'll drop it back.
I'll do that for you, my friend.
My friend?
Go and get your money
and come back.
Oh, for fuck's sake!
Why are you acting like this?
You're acting like this
for no reason.
What's wrong with you?
Why don't you trust me?
- Why don't you trust me?
- Can I get some long papers?
Why don't you trust me?
I'm an honest person.
I fucking work hard, I try...
I'm trying to be...
- One pound, yeah?
- You know?
Thank you.
Every day, I wake up
to this fucking feeling, man.
It's like someone's there, just
saying, "No, you can't come in!"
It's like, "No, no, no!
Not for you! Not for you!"
Do you ever feel like that?
- Alright, mate? Mate...
- Come on, man!
Would you like me
to call someone for you?
Your head is bleeding.
Hey! No, no, no!
What are you doing, man?
[Speaking Turkish]
Fucking hell, man.
