This City is Ours
2nd episode
So, what do we say to the Amigos?
They'll want to know
we've got their money.
Only way we can earn it
is by taking another load.
So we beg?
We sell.
They take the profit.
We keep our lines supplied
and lose nothing but time.
It all depends what we find out
in the next hour or so.
I'm leaning towards
telling them the truth.
Yeah, as we know it.
Nearly there, Davy!
Not long now, son.
You seem happy, with Diana.
I am.
It's that twat in the boot
I'm pissed off with.
I do love the silence out here.
Yeah.
Same.
Better get this done.
Pack it in.
Come on.
Come on, Davy. Out you get.
Come on, lad, get out!
Come on, this way.
Keep going.
That way, Davy.
That's it. Through here.
Go on, Davy. Watch your step.
Through that door. That's it.
Through that door.
Get in! Get in there.
Davy, come here.
HE GROANS AND CRIES OU
Ronnie
Listen, about the house
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I know it looks bad,
but I swear to God,
it's something and nothing.
I can explain it.
You're selling on the side, Davy.
No! No, no, no, I swear down,
I swear down,
it's not like that.
It's exactly like that.
Michael!
Michael You haven't got
a fucking clue
what you're talking about.
Then, enlighten me.
Ronnie, please
Davy. Davy, where did you get
Talk to me.
..your lemo from?
Just me and you. Please.
Please, just talk to me.
Two minutes.
Just answer the question.
Who's your backer?
Ronnie, please.
Do you understand
the shit we're in?!
I've done nothing wrong!
Why would I?
You found the house, right?
Right?
You got the gear, right?
If I know all that,
why the fuck do you think
I got on the plane? Hey?
Why aren't I miles away?
Michael!
Michael, Michael, please, please!
Ronnie!
Ronnie, listen to me.
Please, please. Please.
OK.
Ronnie. Yeah.
It's about
It's about
It's about Jamie.
What about him?
Ronnie, please. What about him?
Michael, give us a minute.
Just give us a minute, will you?
Why? Give us a minute.
Why?
Come on.
Listen, I'm sorry.
I told you everything
I swear. I swear.
Untie me!
Then, tell me the fucking truth!
I told you the fucking truth!
Ronnie, he said all this was
going to be sorted out! He said
Ronnie! Ronnie!
TWO GUNSHOTS
It's done.
Easy.
What did he say?
No, it don't matter.
Talking shite.
Get the tarp.
What did he say?
Just get the fucking tarp!
Right. I'll get the tarp, shall I?
Go.
Going to say a prayer, or something?
I'm waiting to wake up.
Are you going to tell me
what he said?
He was saying something
about Jamie.
And you put a full stop to it.
Because I didn't want
to hear what came next, OK?
You get that?!
You understand that?
No, you don't.
If I could bring him
back to life, I would.
I'm not standing here
getting lectured,
as well as fucking sunburnt.
Are you going to tell me
what was said?
I need to know.
Start the car. I'm getting hot.
If anyone asks, he walked away.
Christ knows where.
He's got a mate in Estepona.
OK.
So he's gone to Estepona.
Do we lose the car?
Yeah. I'll get Bobby on it.
It's not registered.
Let me know what your lad
has to say for himself.
Yeah.
Jamie!
Jamie!
Turn that shit off and get in here!
I'm playing with the baby.
Is it important?
Yeah, it's fuckin' important!
Will you take him?
Fuck!
Sorry about him.
Oh. Someone's grumpy, eh?
I know. Apparently it's important.
Can't wait another minute.
You behave yourself. He started it.
If he wants me to tickle his
plums again, he can fuck off.
Don't be disgusting.
What's going on?
That bad?
You know it's that bad.
Where's Davy?
You lads have been gone a while.
We missed you.
Shit to bury.
You proud of yourself?
On occasion.
You selling us out, Jay?
Michael. Leave it.
I've got no idea
what you're on about, lad.
You had too much sun?
Michael Go on.
Getting the feeling
that something's my fault.
I've just put three bullets
into a mate of mine.
You're going to tell me why.
What did he say?
I ask the fucking questions!
You answer!
OK, understood. Understood.
Ah I'll answer
your questions, Dad,
but you've got to listen to me,
yeah?
Just listen.
Here he is. I was getting worried.
You having a good day, though?
Yeah, it's been nice.
It's better now.
Where have you been?
On a message.
How about I make you a drink?
I'd love that.
It's on the way.
Oh, sun cream.
Yeah, in a minute.
Hello. Hiya.
All good, Michael, lad?
So, are we any the wiser?
No, not at all.
We're a man down.
I'll tell you later. It's mad.
I think
that's Davy Crawford's phone.
Someone going to answer that?
Best leave it, then, Rach.
It was Cheryl.
Should I turn it off?
Put it on silent.
Diana, what are you making, love?
Frozen margaritas. Ooh!
Is there room in the shaker
for a little one?
Of course.
Little two?
Oh, hang on, what's this?!
Bobby Duffy on the cocktails!
I'm full of surprises, me.
I'm getting very highbrow.
I have chia seeds
on me Frosties and everything.
Oh, this is him getting at me
for trying to eat more healthy!
I'm not getting at you.
I'm agreeing with you, girl.
Seeds are the new Charlie.
Sorry, am I missing something?
What the fuck is a chia seed?
They sell 'em in the Aldi.
There he is!
Tiny fuckers, they are.
Give me a go of that baby!
On your porridge or whatever.
Spend the rest of the day
picking 'em out of your teeth.
Got enough glasses, babe?
Hey! Oh, yes. You love your nana.
You know you've made it
when you're having
your frozen margaritas
in the river, don't you?
What's being said?
I don't know.
Is that a problem?
Not yet.
Well, I want you to forget
all of that for now.
Cos I want you,
Michael Kavanagh,
to always remember this drink.
Why's that? Cos you made it?
No.
Cos I made it with love.
Andto celebrate the day
we first saw our children.
Oh
Aw
I love you. I love you.
Hey, Bob, can you sort
them brollies for us?
Jamie and Davy Crawford -
were they close?
How do you mean?
Am I missing something?
Are they tight?
Look, Davy was a godfather
at the christening.
Yeah. Which was a surprise.
Yeah, but Jamie must have been
talking to him, I suppose.
About what?
No idea.
Ronnie put him in the ground.
Ronnie did?
Jamie's name was mentioned
and I was sent out the room.
And weren't that always
the plan, to end him?
No.
The plan was to find out
what the fuck he was up to,
and who with.
And now I'm thinking Jamie.
I wonder if they're boys or girls.
Yeah, I really don't mind.
It's a long way to go, though.
I know, and I need to take care
of you.
Yeah, you do. But you need
to take care of yourself.
Where did you disappear to
for half the day?
Business.
I thought business was tonight.
It is.
We've got a meeting,
then dinner, then drinks,
and also karaoke.
Hmm. I can't wait.
Three went out and two came back.
Yeah. Davy's gone to Estepona.
Estepona.
It's got nothing to do with me.
You can talk to me.
Hmm?
And I'd rather you did.
You really wouldn't, babe.
You could do me a favour, though.
Just keep your eye on Jamie
and Ronnie tonight.
Tell me what you see.
Are you worried?
I'm concerned.
Things are shifting.
We just need them
to shift in our favour.
OK.
Are you going to tell me
what he's done?
Went behind my back.
He's created a shitshow.
So what happens now?
I don't know
if he did the wrong thing
for the right reasons,
or whether he's just in it
for himself.
He's your son. Tell him that.
Too smart for his own good,
that kid.
There's no such thing
as being too smart.
There's smart
and there's smart-arsed.
And a mate is fucking dead
because of it.
Well, answer me this.
When you've had enough,
what will Jamie do?
Who will he be?
Cos we're not getting
any younger, Ronnie.
Now, I have people
running my businesses.
Is it possible Jamie
might just be smart
enough to handle yours?
What about Michael?
Michael works for you.
He'd still work for you,
technically.
When Jamie did speak to you,
did he make any sense at all?
You lookvery handsome.
I'd kiss you.
That for me?
Yeah. Can be.
I'll get this out of the way.
Bobby's driving to the Amigos.
Banksey stays with the women.
I want Jamie along for the ride.
You're joking, right?
I want him there.
What, to fuck it up?
I want him there.
What's going on?
I think I'm entitled.
I've got nothing to say.
Not yet. Just bear with me.
What did Jamie tell you out there?
Let's just fucking leave it
alone, shall we?
He was me dad's favourite,
Matt Monro, him and Perry Como.
They all sound
the fucking same to me.
All of a sudden this world ♪
We're less than an hour away
from a very important meeting.
I haven't got a clue
how we're going to play it.
Ronnie? It's me who they trust.
You know, I'm thinking
we ask for nothing but time.
We've got nothing to sell
and we owe them a lot of money.
Yeah, we'll pay it back.
Just doing it another way.
I don't know.
Use different suppliers?
No. No, that's just wrong.
Is this all coming from your lad?
No, this is me.
My plan, my way forward.
Jamie's the reason
why Davy's dead.
Nah. Me again.
Ronnie, he's your lad,
I get it, but come on,
he's limited, he's blinkered.
That's
He only sees what's best
That's enough.
..for himself.
That's enough, Michael.
Right, 48 minutes exactly.
So I'll leave you here in peace
to think on your lad's brilliance
that's so far seen me
almost kill a kid
and you put brass
into an old, once-loyal friend.
Mum?
Yeah. Enter.
You wanted to see me?
Close the door over.
How are things with your father?
Be serious.
Er, in the balance.
I did something.
I tried something.
There was a breakdown
in communication,
and it didn't work out.
But now I've explained myself,
I'm hoping he kind of understands.
I promise you, I wasn't trying
to screw him over.
What could you have done
differently?
Not much.
Well, it's the truth.
I needed to show him, not tell.
He doesn't listen, Mum.
He listens to Michael,
but we're saying different things.
Michael's been at his side
for 20 years.
Yeah, I know. Michael's solid.
I like him.
Do you know what happened today?
Yeah. I'm not happy about it.
Why didn't you stop it?
I couldn't stop it
cos Ronnie's not an easy fella
to approach, Mum. I tried.
But before I could find
the moment, he disappeared.
All he had to do was
come to me and talk,
which he didafter the fact.
Where did you leave it?
We're saying nothing to anyone
till we get home
and then take it from there.
But he listened.
Well, maybe you're right.
Maybe that's what it took
to get him to hear you.
But no more sly tricks, Jamie.
It wasn't a sly trick.
No more the insolent child.
When you speak to your father,
let him hear a man's voice,
a man's opinion.
I'm on it.
I like it here.
I'd like to spend more time
here with your father.
I'd like to travel.
OK?
Be better.
What did she want?
What she wants,
and I swear down this is a fact,
is another grandkid.
And did you tell her
I want an apartment in Dubai?
That'll happen, babe.
That will happen.
Sooner rather than later.
Hello!
See? He's always good for me.
Well, what's up?
Keep on the right side
of your dad.
Be careful.
Yeah. Always.
Hey. Sh. It's OK.
It's all right,
Mummy's coming to you.
I'll see you down there.
So, what do our friends
from South America know
about what's happened?
What have you told them?
They know we're looking for a change
in the payment structure.
They don't know why.
They don't need to know
the actual reason why.
What did you promise
Davy Crawford, Jay?
What did you tell him?
Not fucking now.
I'll do all the talking tonight.
I don't want them to think
they've got us by the balls.
We'll tell them a story.
I'll tell them a story.
But we solved the problem.
The problem's back home, lad.
That's where we'll sort it.
No, lad, the problem is
we're rag-arsed dealers
with fuck all to deal.
Back home,
we're ready to be fucked over.
That won't happen.
Whoa! Who'd they rent that from?
A Bond villain?
You not been here before?
First time. Before,
we had to make do with a yacht.
Hey, Michael. Come here.
Can talk about it later, all right?
Right now, I just need you
to do what you do.
Smile, shake their hands.
Tell them you love them.
All right?
Hola, Frederico. Como estas?
Good evening.
Good to see you again, mate.
Good to see you, too.
Ricardo is inside.
Ricardo and Stefania. Welcome.
Buenos noches.
Like a native, Jay!
Ricardo?
What do you think? Happy?
What do you think of the Cava?
Ah, yeah, it's very nice.
This particular Cava is made
in the same way as champagne,
but it's much better
than a lot of champagnes.
Which is all very interesting.
So, do we raise our glasses
in agreement?
You've heard our proposals,
what we would like to happen.
Could that work for you?
Three months' delay
in payments, maximum.
Michael?
As Ronnie says, three months max.
At the end of three months,
if nothing has changed for you,
what then?
Oh, things will change.
Our sales will get back on track.
We know who's causing
the disruption.
We know our targets.
Who are they? Michael?
Just kids.
Who don't know the rules.
Or rather, they don't believe
the rules apply to them.
They'll learn.
Our markets will stay our markets,
and only ours.
We just need
to step on a few heads.
Three months is enough time
for things to return to normal?
Three months is perfect.
Perfecto.
Effectively, I will be
loaning you a large amount
for this period of time.
We should discuss a fee.
Well, we were hoping, er,
we could talk about goodwill.
We've been partners
for five years with no problems.
But whatever you think is fair,
Ricky. It's your call.
OK. Goodwill.
Three months is no time
between friends.
That sounds great.
Thanks, Ricardo. Thank you.
Goodwill.
ALL: Goodwill.
Goodwill.
Miguel Come with me.
I have something to show you.
I'm going to have a few more
of these bubbles, me.
ICE CUBES RATTLE
CORK POPS
You were very quiet down there,
Michael.
Is this your way of telling me
I talk too much?
No, this is just a friend noticing
that his friend is not himself.
How are you?
I'm good.
No problems?
Something on my mind, that's all.
You've got four children.
Angelica, Rafael,
Christina and Luna right?
Thank you for remembering.
No. No, no, no.
Thank you for introducing me
to your family.
Let me introduce you
to my four kids.
You've heard of IVF?
Where they create the baby
outside of the womb?
This is your IVF?
Yeah.
Yeah. Mine and Diana's.
We only got the news today and
it Well, it blew me away.
That's what's been on my mind.
If you had told me this earlier,
I would have given you
actual champagne.
No, you've given us
more than enough, mate.
Time is what we needed.
I was happy to watch as your
shipment passed through customs
without a problem in minutes.
You watched how? GPS.
If possible,
we always track our cargo.
One last question.
Yeah? Go on.
What will you want
for your children?
Not this.
Something moreordinary.
Safer.
Legal? Yeah. Legal.
But
I meanlucrative.
My children will go to college
in the United States.
They will be educated and they
will work within the law.
Hallelujah.
But Jamie, he works for his father.
Yeah. Yeah. He does.
What will his father want for him?
Ricky, it's fine
You don't have
to explain anything,
but you were silent at the table.
Honestly, it's
You had no voice, Michael.
Well, it won't happen again.
I promise.
One day. One day
What do we
think of the Cava?
Better than most champagnes,
I'd say.
I know you agree, Bobby Bubbles.
I do, I do.
Hey, listen,
while my glass is in the air,
let's have a toast
to the happy couple -
me and my aul' fella.
No, seriously, seriously.
Cos I can be serious
and grown-up, Mum.
To the very, very happy couple,
Ronnie and Elaine.
Happy anniversary.
ALL: Happy anniversary.
Cheers.
Hey! Look at this.
It's insane.
Absolutely fantastic.
Cheers.
Come on.
Picture. Come on.
Take a picture of this.
Oh, give her a kiss.
Pretend like it was your idea.
Michael. Yer OK, lad?
Sound.
So, what did I miss?
Ronnie isn't saying much.
But Ricardo did whisper that
our container passed through
the port no problem.
What does that mean? Davy said
it was delayed, took apart.
But if it wasn't
does that mean that Davy
took all of our lemo?
Or someone did.
Someone working with Davy.
Could you ask your Freddie
to check on it?
All he has to do
is ride past the yard,
see the container's still there
and sealed.
If it's not, we know
Davy was lying for someone.
When?
Now would be good.
This stays between you and me,
right?
Right.
What are you thinking about?
Life.
And is life good?
Mm.
Life's good with you.
This is good.
Sure you don't want to stay
in the bar?
Nope.
Leave before the karaoke,
starts that's my motto.
And the wine wasn't great.
Not that I'm a snob.
I think you might be.
Looks like Ronnie and Jamie
have buried their differences.
Yeah. Elaine could not
have been prouder.
I think she might be
a worm in Ronnie's ear.
Saying what?
Telling Ronnie
to pay more attention
to his son, is my guess.
Ricky, one of the Amigos,
he said the same.
So where does that leave you?
He said that, too.
And do you know the answer?
It leaves me
..not quite on the outside, but
..well, nearer the door, maybe.
Why don't we just walk away?
You and me.
Can you do that?
This is my business.
I've been in it from the start.
It's as much mine
as it is Ronnie's.
Is that what Ronnie believes?
It's unwritten.
Unwritten.
Do you trust him?
And can you trust him
not to send you to Estepona?
Hey. Hey-hey-hey!
Mind if I cut in, Dad?
Oh, my baby.
Ohh!
Love you, son.
Love you, Dad.
I love you. I do.
I do.
Come here.
Michael?
Will you come to bed?
Cuddle into me.
Five minutes, babe.
What, no Diana?
In the Land of Nod.
Ronnie seems happy enough
out there.
Yeah, well,
he's got what he wanted.
But he still hasn't said
what happens next.
He's got another supplier
lined up.
He must have.
Any ideas who?
Not a clue.
But Jamie knows and we don't.
What does that say?
Right, I'm going to bed.
Chase your Freddie.
As soon as. Yeah, will do.
All right?
Just about to send you something.
Where are you?
I'm inside the container.
Inside?
Don't think you're going to
be too happy.
And, yeah. Yeah what?
I fed the cat.
They've been through everything.
None of it's here.
Some bastard's robbed it all.
Ronnie!
Ronnie! Are you coming to bed?
It's late.
Juliet?
Is that you on yonder balcony?
Are you coming to bed, or not?
Just having a bit of me time.
OK.
Don't wake me up.
I won't.
Baby?
What are you doing?
Michael.
You can't.
Baby, you can't.
Go back to bed.
I won't let you do this.
Diana, please.
I won't let you do this.
I won't let you stop me.
Justtalk to him.
He's already made his mind up
to fuck me over.
Come tomorrow,
I'm finished.
And I can't allow that.
HE SNIFFS
Please don't think of him.
You need to think of us.
This needs to happen.
Or I'm dead.
Believe me.
Now, go on.
Please.
Go to bed, close your eyes
and fall asleep.
And what kind of life
do I wake up to?
Ronnie.
Ronnie!
Open your eyes.
Come on, mate. Come on.
You f You sold me out.
