[HORN HONKS]
Hi. Vote for Mayor Jaffrey.
Oh. [CHUCKLES]
Can I give you a poster for the window?
Oh, the bank doesn't
let us be political.
Besides he's a shoo-in, isn't he?
[CHUCKLES] Can't take
anything for granted.
Imagine if everyone stayed home
and we ended up with Dennis Gimball?
He's an idiot. He'll never get in.
[CHUCKLING] Touch wood, but elections
aren't idiot-proof, you know.
Morning.
Hope Mayor Jaffrey
can count on your vote.
I know a lot of you young people
are disenchanted with politics.
Yeah, I-I was too at your age.
But Mayor Jaffrey offers hope
whereas Gimball
offers [CHUCKLES] hate.
Gimball wants to "Make London "
What are you
Don't. Do

Ho! Look out!
[RODDY] What the fuck?
- Did you not see?
- What?
- He was about to run you over.
- What you talking about?
My headphones.
It sped up. It was
definitely going for you.
They can't have got far.
I thought you were checking CCTV?
I will forward you the link.
Replace my headphones,
and we'll leave it at that.
No, we fucking won't.
[SIGHS] You also ripped my top.
I'll add that to the bill, or else.
Or else what?
Or else I'll file an official
complaint against you for assault.
Assault? I just saved
your life, dickhead.
[SCOFFS]
By the way, only a twat
pays 200 quid for a top.
Yeah, well, I make that
money back in pussy.
That makes it sound like I
pay for sex, which I don't!
Sex pays for me!
[FOOTSTEPS DEPARTING]
[NEWS REPORTER] Witnesses
describe the shooter
as using a shotgun or rifle.
- And that he opened fire randomly
- [PHONE BUZZING]
and without emotion.
The police and other emergency
services remain at the scene.
And we will, of course,
continue to update the story
[CLEARS THROAT] Yeah, I
know about Abbotsfield.
What the fuck's it got to do with
you? Or anyone else at Slough House?
[LOUISA] It came out of nowhere. So
the Park is scrambling to catch up.
So they'll be doing
deep background research,
identity checks, all the
boring crap you make us do.
So don't you think they'd
appreciate our help?
[JACKSON] Well, make an educated guess.
Yes.
I said educated.
That guess left school at 15
to get a job in an abattoir.
Why do you even give a shit anyway?
It's your last day, isn't it?
Why don't you make a paper
aeroplane or a rubber band ball?
Make yourself useful.
[NEWS REPORTER] not at this
stage appear to be terrorist related.
But the motivation for the
attack has not been confirmed.
[DOOR OPENS]
God, why are you mistaking
this for my office?
Where you're also not welcome.
S-Shirley has something to tell you.
- Well, I didn't need a warm-up act.
- Well, go on then. Hurry up.
So I can tell you to fuck off
and finish my breakfast in peace.
Someone nearly ran Ho over.
Good for them. Fuck off.
It was deliberate. They
drove straight at him.
While I'd like to think of Ho
getting run over accidentally,
it would be robbing the rest
of us of a moment's pleasure.
- Where did it happen?
- Fan Street.
No cameras. Suspicious in itself.
What sort of car?
Ford Transit van. White.
Any identifying characteristics like,
oh, I don't know
y'know, a number plate?
I was too busy rescuing Ho to get
it. When I looked around it had gone.
And why isn't Ho here
complaining about this himself?
He didn't notice.
[SIGHS]
Yeah, I kinda see that happening.
White Transit van heading east.
Surely we should at
least try and track it?
Well, leaving the scene of an accident
doesn't make whoever it was an assassin.
I take it no one
leaned out of the window
shouting, "I'll get ya next time."
Are you going to take this seriously?
Well, I'm glad you asked me that. No.
Are you going to take
this seriously? Fuck off.
[SIGHS]
[CATHERINE] Shirley, wait.
[GIMBALL] What we are seeing
today is terror. Pure and simple.
The policies of this soft-on-crime mayor
have turned this city into a war zone.
Emma Flyte, MI5 Security Head.
Flytey.
- Excuse me?
- Flytey Flyte. Flew the Met for MI5.
Our paths crossed briefly on
the, uh, Lennard Street robbery.
Oh, yes. Shall we?
Oh, I see. No time for small
talk now you're a fancy spook?
Eleven people are dead at the
hands of an automatic weapon.
So, no, I don't have
time for small talk.
Especially not with someone
who once sent a WhatsApp
listing suspects in the order
he would like to fuck them.
Let me show you the scene.
[PHIL CLEARS THROAT]
Around 9:07, the suspect
comes out of his flat,
he walks to the center of the square
where he opens fire on everyone
around him without warning.
Starting with the old
boy at the election stall.
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
Minutes later, turns the gun on himself.
[FLYTE] No one stood a
chance with that weapon.
Well, we've made inquiries at
the local gun club, so, uh
That kind of weapon is
not licensed for gun clubs.
What do we know about the gunman?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS]
- [SIREN WAILING]
- [INDISTINCT POLICE RADIO CHATTER]
[FLYTE SIGHS] Fan of Dennis Gimball.
Did he ever express extreme
views on race or immigration?
[PHIL] It's not come up so far.
According to the locals,
he didn't speak to anyone.
I'll need to check his online history.
See if he has any affiliations.
I'll need to let the Park know.
Know what?
Well, gunman was a Gimball supporter,
and his first victim was
someone stumping for the mayor.
The press and politicians will
have a field day with this.
City's already on a knife edge.
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYS]
[BANGING]
[GASPS] Fuck.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Are you late 'cause
you was shaking a tail?
I wish.
No, Catherine texted me to
pick up stuff for this party.
Someone tried to take out Ho this
morning. Drove straight at him.
What? Really? Who? How?
[RODDY] No, they didn't!
She was looking for an
excuse to sexually harass me.
Right. Did Did this happen or not?
He was nearly run over.
[SIGHS]
[GRUNTING]
Can you just take some of this? [GRUNTS]
You think I'm making it up?
No. I believe he was nearly hit by a car
as are many people who cross roads.
Why is everyone being
such a prick about it?
Not being a prick about it.
I just wanna spend my time
on things that actually matter.
A van nearly hit him. I
pushed him out of the way.
Right.
Two things, right?
Angry London drivers, and Roddy
does have a very irritating walk.
Fuck you.
That was uncalled for.
What is her problem?
No, I meant you.
- Me?
- Yes.
She's convinced.
And if someone targets one of
us, it means we're all at risk.
Potentially.
Yeah, well, she's not
exactly the best eyewitness
in the world right now, is she?
[SHIRLEY] I can still
hear you, you fucking twat!
Have a heart. She's still
dealing with Marcus's death.
Yeah, well, we're all dealing
with things, aren't we?
Some of us better than others.
Do you think there was an attack on Ho?
[SCOFFS] Don't know. Don't care.
Why have you been shopping?
I thought you were on an op.
No.
No, I've been picking up
supplies for your party.
Oh, Jesus Christ, I don't want a party.
I just wanna slink out of here.
No. Taking a mental health
break is actually pretty brave,
so we should celebrate.
[SIGHS] Jesus.
What?
My grandfather was telling
me a story this morning,
and I thought I just
recognized it because
he'd told me it before, or something,
but it's actually because it's
the plot to Where Eagles Dare.
- Oh, no.
- Yep.
So he's not doing so well?
No.
Well, he's actually adjusted
to the home pretty well.
But that's because he doesn't
remember much of his life before.
He used to go, and he would give me
all these brilliant Cold War stories.
You know, with detail and
Now when I think I'm getting
something from him, it's an old film.
- Don't judge me by the way.
- Mm-mmm.
- Already hate myself
- I'm not.
for feeling like this.
[SIGHING] Well, I'm gonna
miss this fun office banter.
Flyte's still at the scene.
We're combing through his online history
based on what she sent through.
We need a full profile now.
There are too many blanks.
I need to know how he
got under the radar.
We cannot let another one get through.
I just got off the phone from
a very unhappy Home Secretary.
Well, yes.
- Eleven dead.
- We need to pick ourselves up.
It's what we do next that counts.
And given the political
affiliation of the gunman,
the mayoral candidate should
limit their public appearances.
Funny you should say that.
I'm I'm actually going to
relay that information personally.
I'm heading down to see
Gimball and Jaffrey right now.
Oh, is that a good idea?
Uh, no, it's a terrible idea,
which is why I'm doing it.
When Gimball learns about his link
to the gunman through the press,
he's gonna go full-on conspiracy mode.
Say it's a false flag operation.
So he needs to hear it from
me. Straight, no more games.
I think we've all had quite
enough of his rabble rousing.
I think you might have to accept
that he'll do that regardless.
[CHUCKLES] Not on my watch, he won't.
[CAR DOOR OPENS]
Thank you.
I will then open up
the floor to questions.
From a rabidly metropolitan audience.
No, we're making sure that
a third of the audience
are planning to vote for you,
a third for Mr. Jaffrey
and a third are undecided.
Excuse me.
I'm afraid I'm gonna have
to ask you to leave the room.
I need to speak to the candidates alone.
Claude, great to see you again.
Nice to see you, Zafar.
And they say there's no such
thing as the establishment.
I take it you two play golf together?
- No, actually, we Morris dance together.
- [GIMBALL] Oh, sweet.
It's a joke, uh
I know you've heard about the
terrible events at Abbotsfield.
- [ZAFAR] Appalling.
- [SIGHS]
London stands in solidarity
with victims of hate.
Sorry, but why are
you speaking like that?
There There's no cameras here.
Eleven people died, Dennis.
Yes, because you can't
keep on top of crime.
[CLAUDE] Gentlemen.
There'll be an increased police
presence at all public gatherings
going forwards from today.
Including tomorrow's mayoral debate.
You should, uh, bring in
some backup. Expand your team.
Why do I need to expand my team?
Well, I've no doubt that you
can handle yourself, obviously.
Just your candidate needs
360-degree protection.
Tyson's my Chief of Staff.
- [STAMMERING] He's your what? Sorry?
- Tyson Bowman is my Chief of Staff.
- [CLAUDE STAMMERS] Oh.
- [GIMBALL CHUCKLES]
- Did you think I was his bodyguard?
- [JOURNALIST] Sorry, I'm late.
I had to educate my editor that
octoroon is not a racist word.
Dame Whelan. Hello.
I'm sorry. This is an
intelligence briefing.
Are you questioning my IQ?
Dodie is not only my wife,
she's also my campaign manager.
And she's also a journalist
who works for a national rag.
You didn't like what I wrote about you.
- I don't read your column.
- [SCOFFS]
But I'm told that you, um you
wanted me to tend my resignation?
On account of my drive to recruit
more LGBTQ+ agents into the Service?
What did you say I was looking
for? Uh "James Bondage."
[LAUGHS]
[SNORTS]
You should leave. Now.
Sorry.
Protocol.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]
[GIMBALL] Tut, tut, tut.
Shouldn't have done that.
It appears the gunman
was a supporter of yours.
Appears?
[CLAUDE] He had your books.
[GIMBALL SCOFFS] A lot of people
buy my books. I'm a bestseller.
Including left wing journalists
who delight in taking
my quotes out of context.
He also had a photograph of the
two of you together on his fridge.
And his first target was
leafleting for the mayor.
I'm asking you to moderate your
rhetoric in line with the facts.
I don't believe a word of this.
This is just a bloody stitch-up.
[INHALING SHARPLY]
Fuck off, I'm busy.
I want Marcus's gun.
The CCTV was down enough that the
vehicle could get away off-camera.
And what's Ho say?
[SCOFFS] You're gonna
take his opinion over mine?
No, I'm keen to canvass
a variety of opinions
and then pass my own judgment.
He says the CCTV coverage
across the city is patchy,
and there's nothing suspicious, but
he's also gonna vote for Gimball.
[STAMMERS] What exactly
do you want me to do here?
If it was an attempted hit,
they're gonna try again.
The door could be kicked in again
at any moment. I want the gun.
It conveniently disappeared, remember?
So I didn't have to
fill in 15 fucking forms
explaining why you let Coe
execute a prisoner over
here by the radiator.
Right. But you still have it though?
[PANTS] I can't remember where I put it.
[SIGHS] Can I have yours then?
[SIGHS] Oh, yeah, why not?
It's the third drawer
down. Help yourself.
- [SIGHS] You're kidding, aren't you?
- Yeah, of course I'm fucking kidding.
I haven't read all the management shit,
but I'm pretty sure I'm
not allowed to arm my staff
just because they're bored.
I'm not bored.
Are you not? [GRUNTS]
That sounds like a criticism
of my leadership style.
When that mad French
bastard stormed this place,
we were fighting him off
with a fucking kettle.
What if we get attacked again?
The kettle got replaced, didn't it?
Open or closed?
Fuck off.
- [FLYTE] Devon.
- [DEVON] Trew hung out on an incel forum.
I'm reviewing it now.
I'll send you the links.
Tell you who else is
probably on that forum,
the guy in charge of the
crime scene, Fuckability Phil.
How's he still on the force?
He's spent more time in
suspension than he did on the beat.
- Makes me glad I left.
- [SIGHS] Same.
[PHONE BEEPS, BUZZES]
[EERIE MUSIC PLAYS]
Wait.
Hey.
Did anyone witness him
actually shooting himself?
Well, everyone was
hiding or running by then.
So, no.
He was the only nutter
with a gun. Case closed.
I decide when the case is closed.
Look, if this is about
my previous behavior,
you should know I do now consider
myself to be something of a feminist.
Fuck me! Half his head's missing!
- He didn't shoot himself.
- Well, sure looks like it!
He was shot from a
distance at an elevation.
Let's take a look up there.
[PANTS]
It might not be terrorism, but it's
something more than mass murder.
He didn't kill himself.
He was executed.
["FEEL GOOD" PLAYING ON SPEAKERS]
My advice [GRUNTS]
Same as to him.
Find something else to do.
For the sake of my mental health.
This is so depressing.
Yeah. Well, can only
pick up now he's gone.
Come on, everyone, the party's starting!
[LOUISA] How long do I have to stay?
Oh, come on. You can't
be the first one to leave.
What if I go now then?
No, no, no, no. Look at what I've done.
Look at the spread. It's a banquet.
Someone get me a defibrillator
'cause this party is DOA.
- DOA is dead on arrival.
- Yeah, we get it. Fuck off.
Yeah. And you wouldn't need a
defibrillator if it was already dead.
So, what you should've said was,
"Someone get me a defibrillator
because this party's heart has stopped."
Why are you helping him?
I don't know. He's just
He always needs help.
Oh, sorry. Does anyone else want a tea?
No, I should've asked
before, but I assumed
you'd want something stronger.
Tea party. Wild.
- [SHIRLEY] Found them.
- [CATHERINE] Found what?
Spotter, the driver, the whole unit.
What spotter?
[SHIRLEY] Vehicle
goes around the corner,
newsagents has a camera pointing at
the door which covers the pavement.
The bit of The bit of the road here.
Look at his feet. Combat boots.
I'm wearing combat boots.
Well, your shoes are pretty combat-y.
They're Red Wings. Look.
He gets into the same
vehicle that went for Ho.
How do you know it's the same vehicle?
It's white.
But zoom in, there's two other
guys also wearing combat boots.
The guy who climbs in
was a spotter watching Ho.
Right. So?
So, it's a hit squad.
Because there's some
people in the back of a van
that may have driven at Roddy
that may be wearing combat boots.
[SCOFFS]
Do you know what? Fuck this.
Pardon me for trying to
keep you people alive.
Are you trying to keep us alive,
or are you just trying
to bring Marcus back?
[BREATHES SHAKILY]
Sorry. Sor
I'm sorry. S-Sorry
Sorry.
- Bloody hell.
- [CHUCKLES]
I love a party with
a happy atmosphere ♪
Party's over, okay?
Um, here. This is for you.
Oh, thank you.
- Please come back soon.
- Thank you.
That suits me. I got places to be.
Wankers Guild of Britain having its AGM?
[MUTTERS] There's no such guild.
[SIGHS]
Pub?
[JK] No, thanks.
- [SOFTLY] Fucking hell.
- [LOUISA CHUCKLES]
[CATHERINE] Um
Um, listen, Shirley
might be onto something.
She has some boots on camera.
I can't believe you've
just said that out loud.
Protocol dictates
that upon receiving information
of a credible threat to an agent,
a report of same must immediately
be made to local station head of ops.
- What's our local station? Remind me.
- [SIGHS]
Regent's Park.
Regent's Park. So, Service
standing rule number
- whatever it is
- Twenty-seven, in brackets, three.
It demands that a full report
of this morning's events
be made to Lady Di Taverner,
who would doubtless
copy Claude Whelan in.
Luckily, Service
standing rule number 27(3)
is superseded by London
rules, rule one which is
- Cover your arse.
- Precisely.
So [SIGHS]
Because you don't want the
Park involved, we do nothing?
[CHUCKLES] Well, I personally
don't plan to do much.
But I doubt our little
gang of never-runs
will pass up the chance to
mount their own private op.
Dandelion's already asked me for a gun.
You didn't agree to it?
Well, no. But I was tempted.
Imagine her turning up at her
PTSD sessions armed and [LAUGHS]
and triggering all the
other fruit baskets. [CHUCKLES]
So, you believe her, despite her
issues, and let her think you don't.
[COUGHING]
You're supposed to be cutting those out.
They're killing you.
That's why I smoke them.
[COUGHING]
The doctor said you had to stop.
I'm not going till you put it out.
The shooter was Rob Trew.
28-year-old white male.
No criminal record.
Estranged from his family.
No social contacts to speak of.
Locals found him distant and cold
but nothing to suggest he was
capable of multiple killings.
He opened fire with an L16S
assault rifle, killing 11 people.
Check his background again.
He must have contacts in
the underworld or ex-military
to be able to get his
hands on a weapon like that.
And money.
Someone gave it to him, ma'am.
- Gave it to him?
- [DEVON] He was active on The Unseen.
It's a website for disaffected males.
He felt rejected by
women, ignored by society,
that his British
identity was being eroded.
Wanted the people around him
to feel the pain that he felt.
Now, this was stoked by another user.
Their profile's been wiped,
no way of tracing them.
All we have are Trew's
side of the conversations.
Trew's last message to him was at 21:05.
"Will pick up the
package in the morning.
Tomorrow, I will be seen and heard."
So, you're saying he was primed
for murder and then handed a weapon?
Yes. Then that person executed him.
Someone clever enough to murder
this man and and disappear
would not be so sloppy
as to leave a cartridge.
I think they left it deliberately.
It felt placed. They're taunting us.
The name from the message
boards is Sniper762.
And he was killed by a
sniper with a 7.62 cartridge.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS]
- What are you doing here?
- I thought you could use some backup.
I know what I saw. It was
definitely an attempted hit.
[CATHERINE] What's he doing?
Probably collecting Pokémon
or some other kind of dumb shit.
If you're offering to help
to keep an eye on him, okay.
But if it's help in
terms of anything else,
go fuck yourself. I'm doing fine.
If you say so.
Trust me, the real sign that
something's wrong with me
is when I stop telling
people to go fuck themselves.
[CATHERINE] Look, I'm sure
River didn't mean what he said.
[SHIRLEY] Oh, my God.
Ho's got a date
with her.
I'm calling it. Escort.
[CATHERINE] That's rather uncharitable.
But probably true.
"I will miss the only sane
person in the office. Hurry back."
You're so cute. [CHUCKLES]
Well, it's true.
The sanity bit, mainly. But,
yeah, the missing you as well.
Not sure I'm sane.
Yeah, you are. You just
need a break, that's all.
So do you.
What you said to Shirley was not okay.
[RIVER SIGHS] I know. I know.
I'll apologize when she's calmed down.
I just can't be bothered with all
that bullshit at the moment. And
she just reminds me of
how stuck we all are.
Yep.
That's why I'm moving on.
- Moving on?
- Mm-hmm.
Moving on where?
From Slough House, from the Service.
I'm not coming back.
What do you mean?
Yes, you are.
- No. I'm not.
- Yes, you are. It's a six month break.
- [STAMMERING] I can't
- What?
I can't deal with everything
that's happened, River.
- No, no, no.
- You know, losing Min,
watching your dad try to kill
you, and seeing you react to that
by trying to turn yourself
into some kind of super soldier.
- That's not what I'm doing.
- Yes, it is.
- It's not.
- Your masculinity
has been completely shot to
pieces by your dad attacking you.
What do you mean? What? I
caught him. I won that round.
Whoa. Listen to yourself.
This isn't a game.
You're a mess.
You're not allowing yourself to feel
things that you should be feeling.
And I wanna
I just wanna, like
[GRUNTS] feel things again.
Do you know what I mean?
[TRILLS] What the fuck was that?
D Feeling things.
So, y-you thought I
wanted you to kiss me?
[STAMMERS] I thought you
wanted me to feel things.
No. No, no.
I was just telling you that
I couldn't cope with the loss.
Yeah. The loss of me.
- You're talking about losing me.
- Oh, my God.
[LAUGHS] How are you
making this about you?
- No, no. I'm not. I'm not making it
- Oh, my God.
- You're making it about me.
- [CHUCKLES]
- What the hell is wrong with men?
- No, no, no, no.
So, a woman opens up
about about their feelings,
and the first thing they think
is, "Now I can fuck her?" Wow.
Wait. No, no, no. No, that
is not what I'm thinking.
- That's not the No, no, no.
- Felt like it. Mm-hmm.
I should be pissed off
with you, by the way.
What were you gonna do? J-Just sneak off
and leave with never telling me?
Dude, I'm telling you now.
And the reason I didn't
tell you and everyone else
is because I didn't want to give Lamb
the satisfaction of me
quitting to his face.
- [PHONE RINGING]
- I [CHUCKLES]
You You
If you can't think of anything to
say, you might as well answer that.
[RINGING CONTINUES]
[SIGHS, MUMBLING] Fuck's sake.
- [RIVER] Catherine.
- [CATHERINE] Shirley's tailed Roddy
into this nightclub, the
one under the flyover.
I can't go in. I'd stand
out. And there's alcohol.
Okay. Those obstacles aside,
why would you wanna go in?
Because she's an agent in the field.
Alone.
Catherine, Shirley has PTSD, right?
- She's not She's not being rational.
- No, we don't know that yet for sure.
And Roddy's with a woman.
- He's what?
- Look, she should have backup.
I don't think Shirley
wants to see me right now.
Fine.
Well, if there's any more
attempted murders, hits
If there's any more bloodshed or
brains up walls, then it'll be on you.
I hope you can sleep at night.
Okay. Fine, fine, fine.
- I'll be there.
- Thank you.
[SNIFFLES] Right. So, Roddy is in
a nightclub on a date with a woman.
So, I have to
Okay. C-Can we try and do
this again, like, next week?
Same place. I'll just be less weird.
[CHUCKLES]
No, I just need I-I need to be around
normal people and have a normal life.
So, I should give you some space.
Fine. I'll I'll
call you in a few weeks.
No. I think it's a more [SIGHS]
"Don't call me, I'll
call you" sort of space.
All right. I'll, uh
I'll see you when I see you then.
[SIGHS] Fucking hell.
[SLURPING, CHEWING]
[PHONE BUZZES]
[GRUNTS, SNIFFLES]
Oh, fuck.
[GRUNTS]
[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
All right?
What are you doing here?
Catherine sent me.
- Sorry about before, by the way.
- Forget it.
So, you bailed on Louisa's party?
She's not coming back.
Of course not.
Who leaves Slough House and
thinks, "More of that, please"?
Right. So, everyone else has
worked that out, have they?
Pretty much.
And if you're wondering how
your evening can get any worse,
if you look down there,
you'll see Ho dancing with a
woman way out of your league.
[DANCE MUSIC CONTINUES]
What?
Is that real?
No, someone's spiked
my drink, haven't they?
Actually, maybe she's in it for the sex.
What?
I mean, Ho's really ripped.
If he wasn't such a prick,
he'd be a prime piece of meat.
- Sorry, you think Roddy's hot?
- Absolutely not.
I'd actually rather sleep with
Lamb, but in a club situation,
I can see why someone might
use him as a human sex toy.
[GROANS]
I wonder if anyone's checked
me out since I got here.
Well, I very much doubt it.
You're profoundly asexual.
- [GRUNTS]
- [YELLING, CLAMORING]
What the fuck?
[SHIRLEY] Shit.
Shirley! What What the
fuck are you playing at?
- Shir-Sh
- [BOUNCER] You two, out!
- Don't touch me!
- [GROANS]
Dickhead.
- No, no. Give me that.
- What the fuck?
What are you doing? What was that?
I thought he had a knife.
A knife? He had a bottle!
Okay, I fucked up! You of all people
should be able to sympathize with that.
You jumped on a man on a dance floor.
And now, what what were you
gonna were you gonna snort a line?
- I'm just gonna look at it.
- No, fuck off. Look at you!
Look at you! You're a mess.
[SIGHING]
Okay. When I feel like shit,
and I hate myself, and I hate my life,
and I just wanna get
off my fucking face.
[SNIFFLES] I take it
out, and I look at it.
And I think, "What would
Marcus tell me if he was here?"
Except he's not, is he?
'Cause your half brother
blew his fucking head off.
So, I-I put it back in my pocket
'cause that's what Marcus
would tell me to do.
And that's my way of pretending
he's still here, okay?
Fine.
[SNIFFLES] Oh, fuck. That was easy.
You really fucking think you're
clever, don't you? Look at yourself.
Look at yourself. You need serious help.
You're the one who needs
a mental health break.
Oh, my God. That's so
righteous of you. Fuck off!
Mmm, yeah. Fuck you!
Snort yourself blind. See if I care!
And you lot enjoy your shit
music in your shit club!

[BIKER] Hey! What are you doing?
So, is tonight the night
When two become one? ♪
[CHUCKLES]
- You know I really want to, huh?
- Yeah.
But I have to be up really early, and
and I want it to be special, not rushed.
It will be.
When I make love, it's it's
like time is running backwards.
[ESCORT] I love that
you're happy to wait.
It's so powerful.
[MOANS]
[RODDY BREATHES HEAVILY]
Bye.

And drive carefully, yeah?
You got precious cargo.
