You filthy deviants,
who's ready to party like it's 2006?
2006? Fuck off! Is that
how long ago we were at school?
- Yeah.
- We're old, mate. We're very old.
Tommo, why do you need a business card?
Jesus fucking Christ. Have you not noticed,
we're balls deep in a fucking rebrand, love.
Have you not seen your mother?
She's a Bavarian beer wench. Look.
Come on, give us a jiggle.
Lovely. Too much jiggle.
Now that Ernst is a secret investor.
I've had to German the place up
a bit, ain't I?
Bring in new faces
through the door, crucially,
because I don't want to remind you,
but er
I am the man voted most likely
to be a millionaire in Year 11.
And the man that shat himself in Year 8.
- Shut up and have your shots.
- Yes!
- Cheers!
- Slainte, to your health.
(ALL TOASTING)
(EXHALES) Oh, my God, I'm so excited!
You didn't even go to our school.
(LAUGHS)
Yeah, well, a night out's a night

No, it's too painful, you know,
going back without Dylan.
Yeah.
- JJ!
- Mm.
What's wrong with you?
Sonny's ill, so I was just up all night.
Listen, are you sure you just
don't wanna go on your own?
This is the first night out
we've had in ages.
You promised me a good night!
Yeah, J, stop your whining
and get a bratwurst down your mouth!
Got yourself a semi. (LAUGHTER)Oh!
- Oh, no, no, no, no.
- Fuck me.
Fuck thee right off out of it!

Why didn't you tell me
that you was in town.
- Because why would I?
- Why would she?

It's Ronnie Croft's

So me and you, why don't we go out,
we'll have a nice little dance,
we'll paint the town blue. Come on.
- Fine. Fine.
- No. Erin.
- It's his birthday.
- A key component
of going back to your old school
and proving to everyone
that you are
in fact now a very, very big dog
is to not bring a
(INHALES) cunt like
Ronnie Croft with yer.
Whoa, wait. What do you mean
you're going back to school?
- Why you going back to school?
- It's a school reunion.
Right, technically,
he did go to that school,
so he is allowed to go.
- I'd just rather he didn't.
- Erin!
But listen to me now, right
you do not embarrass me tonight.
When have I ever embarrassed you?

With thighs like those

Remember the nutter that set fire

to offer a peace meeting, tomorrow, 7pm,
eighth floor of the JSB car park
in Manchester.
A car park?
Well, what did you expect, sweetheart?
Patricia's Patisserie?
She charges extra for oat milk.
All I'm saying is a car park
it doesn't feel peace-ish.
It feels a little bit
It feels a bit stabby.
Exactly.
Which is why I need you
to drive me there.
No!
Besides, that is
only the first half of my plan.
What's the second half?
(CHUCKLES)
Just in case Miss Kittens
decides to do something stupid
you're my back-up.
Oh, fuck! Now
No, dude. Christ on a fucking bike.
No! I am Zen now, all right?
Crystals and stupid shit like that. Zen.
Zen. Look, green tea.
You owe me, Vincent, you owe me!
Do you remember?
I did not save your life
just for you to be ungrateful.
Now, I'll be back tomorrow afternoon.
Just make sure that you're ready to go.
Mm.
So what about Mrs Longworth -
is she still here?

Oh, God.
Talking about death, I
I was sorry to hear about
Dylan's passing.
- Aw. Thank you. That's kind.
- I actually have something of his.
If you want to see.
He mapped out every major star and comet
and where they would be seen from Earth.
- Oh.
- (GASPS)
He spent nearly every afternoon
of Year 11 working on it.
Oh, so that's where he spent
most of his time that year, then?
Yeah, now I feel bad for starting that
rumour he was shagging the librarian.
- You started it?!
- Yeah.
Angela had a disciplinary hearing.
She's still got it on her record!
Oh. Sorry. Sorry.
Ah, that is special.
We submitted his chart to the
National Astronomy Society competition.
And he won. Got a star named after him!
- Aw. The Dylan Golding star.
- Hidden talents.
You should have all of this,
as the people closest to him.
Remind yourselves
just how bright that boy was.

It's Runty Ronnie! I thought that
was you earlier, scurrying off!

How's it going, Runty?
It's Declan, actually. And he's
way more successful than you, TJ.
You think this is Declan? No!
No, this is Ronnie fucking Croft!

Been telling porkies? Always was
a little bullshitter.

I came here tonight to confront
the dickhead who made my life hell.

Right, do you know TJ? He's
gone fucking missing.

fella last night, and I was saying
I wanted summat bad
to happen to TJ, like (EXHALES)
- Right.
- He goes, 'I'll do that for yer.
But you've gotta do summat
to some fella for me.'
For me. What are you talking about?
- What fella?
- I don't fucking know!
But I'm now thinking
he's fucking done summat.
He's probably waiting for me
to go and do summat for him
in return of the expectation
of fucking

And if you don't do it, then
well, that recording's gonna go
straight into the inbox of Carl Slater.
- You're a fucking psychopath.

between you and TJ.
Er No. No.
A little tiff by the punch bowl?
No.
Interesting, because

- Is it about bumming a dog?

I think last night, you snapped.
I think after the reunion
you decided to get your own back
after TJ humiliated you.
No.

something to do with this.

- Is that you, Mrs Sklode?
- Yes, it's me.
Oh, Bruno. You naughty boy.

I can't even get hard any more, Ronnie.

- There you are.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
What is this stinky vibe
you're bringing in here?
I know this sounds ridiculous,
but I think our Ronnie is about to
do something really fucking stupid.
Last night, he got talking to
someone and made this drunken deal
about getting revenge on TJ Thompson.
- And now TJ's missing.
- Exactly.
Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Since when've we
started bandying around words like revenge?
I mean, it's a bit Agatha Christie,
isn't it?
It was just a drunken chat,
was it not? He didn't actually do it.
Well, the deal was made
with Bruno Hodge.
- Ooh.
- I've just seen Ronnie getting into his car.
- Oh, God.
- I think he's taken TJ as leverage.
Until Ronnie does whatever fucked-up
thing Bruno wants him to do.
Right. Yes. No, I hear you.
And I very, very much
am trying me best to care.
- But obviously, it is Ronnie, in't it?
- Yes. Yes.
(EXCLAIMS) Tommo, it is Ronnie!
But he's still my fucking brother.
I don't want Carl Slater pinning it
on him cos he's an easy target.
- Yeah, OK. What do you want us to do?
- I think we should go Bruno's house.
We can start there
and work out where Bruno's put him.

I kind of wish
people'd stop saying that, mate.

about what we're up to.
And if you need to mention Kittens,
then
say the word 'doggies'
or 'puppies'. Puppies.
- Nice. Puppies. We'll do that.
- Are you in or out?
In.
It's terrifying.
The inner workings
of a bona fide fruitcake.
There's no-one here, lads.
I've checked everywhere.
There's nothing here, just a load of
creepy old bric-a-brac, but I feel off.
I feel like there's someone watching me.
No, settle, petal.
All right, Ashley, look.
In the immortal words of Tiffany
'I think we're alone now' You see?
There's no-one here. Don't worry
about it. We are absolutely alone.
Everything is completely fine.
(ALL YELLING)
VINNIE: So what are you two up to, then?
Oh, we got a big job.
But I can't tell you what it is yet.
Yeah, cos we don't know what it is yet.
It's for my uncle, though,
and he won't disappoint.
- What about you two?
- We are off to see a puppy.
Puppy? Oh, what kind of puppy?
One that does as it's told.
Oh, shit. (TYRES SCREECH)
Fuck!
- Get the fuck out of road!
- Fay, don't shout at her! She's old.
Well, just hang on.
Are we not gonna fucking stop for her?
- No.
- Come on.
Dude, it's an old lady
in the middle of the road.
- It's pissing it down.
- Vincent. I cannot be late.
- It's fucking biblical!
- Oh, fine.
Fuck-ety fine. Pick her up.
Pick the bloody damsel up.
The more the bloody merrier.
Just hurry the fuck up.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
This better be quick.
Thank you so much for stopping.
Hey, you're all right, love.
Don't worry about it.
Listen, where are you headed?
Are you going back to Hawley?
Oh, no.
I'm going home to surprise
my boyfriend in Manchester.
- But I missed the bus.
- (LAUGHS) Yes.
You minx. We're going that way.
We'll drop you.
- Really?
- Really?!
What about the puppies, Vincent?!
- It's on the way.
- Yeah, well, it better be.
My uncle hates people being late.

- (SOFTLY) Oh, fucking hell.
- What's up, cocker?
It's just the school basement.
I just did what
you wanted me to do, Ronnie.
I just did what TJ used to do to you.
Or we could keep him down there?
No. No, no, no, no. We've got to erm
We've got to go
We've got to go and get him.
You're the boss, Ronnie Croft.

Oi! What on earth
is she doing in there? Hm?
I mean, did she expire mid-excretion?
She's old, isn't she? It just
takes a bit longer, don't it?
Well, she's been at it
20 fucking minutes.
- (SIGHS)
- And 'en route', my arsehole.
This is making me very late
for my meeting.
All right, chill out. We're late too.
Anyway, I thought
you were going to see a puppy.
Yes, I am. A very important puppy.
Right, come on. We're ditching her.
In the van, chop chop.
Er No. We're not ditching her
in the middle of nowhere.
Well, fetch her, then.
All right. Fucking hell.
- Oh, here she is.
- Oh.
Hello, my dear.
I do hope we're not rushing you.
Thank you so much for this.
- You've all gone out of your way.
- Oh, no, no, not at all.

You know, you've got beautiful eyes.
I can tell there's a kind man in there.
Nobody's said that to me before.
But you're lonely, aren't you?
My brother died.
I've known grief too.
But you have to let it go.
