Trafficking (2023) Movie Script
1
- All I ask is a tall ship
and a star to sail her by.
All I ask is a tall ship
and a star to sail her by.
All I ask is a tall ship
and a star to sail her by.
Is that enough?
(person laughing)
- Yeah.
- Can I keep this 'cause
this is written by Richard.
I can frame this couldn't I?
- Yeah, that's how
it will all begin.
(gentle music)
(film whirring)
- [Leslie Grantham]
Hello princess.
(wind whirring)
(gentle music)
(singing in foreign language)
- [David ] I must go
down to the seas again,
for the call of the running tide
is a wild call and a clear
call that may not be denied.
And all I ask is a windy day
with the white clouds flying
and the flung spray and the
blown spoon and the seagulls.
The function of man is
to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days
trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.
(machines beeping)
(sirens whirring)
(door whirring)
- Doctor Gelmini.
- I'm sorry to have kept you
Mr erm...
- It's fine, it's fine.
- Of course.
Did you come on your own today?
Someone with you, a friend
or relative perhaps?
- Listen, I have somewhere to be
so if we can just get
on with it please.
- All right then, there's
no easy way of saying this.
It is as Dr. Bloom
and I first feared,
it's a grade four glioblastoma.
- A tumor.
That's what Dr. Bloom
says was incurable, right?
Well the survival rate is
only 4% but some patients
can live up to five years.
- Some patients.
- Yes.
Although your tumor is much
more advanced than that.
- How long?
- If only you'd have
visited us sooner,
all those missed appoints,
time really was of the essence.
- I'm asking you
how long, please.
- Well, Dr. Bloom still
has to review these scans
and she'll be in
this afternoon...
perhaps six months.
- Six months, six months.
- But please do not despair.
I mean there are lots of
treatments out there available
from surgery to radiation
to chemotherapy.
In America they've even
had very good success
with the immunotherapy,
stem and gene therapy.
So the problem is.
(gentle music)
Every day I hide
under my hat
I'm a beggar in pain
- Mate, mate,
mate, you're in a
world of the other
The old quack have to say.
- He didn't say
shit about my liver.
So cheers to that.
- Well I'll fucking
drink to that, cheers.
Everything else
right though yeah?
- Sound as a pound John, yeah.
- Thank fuck for that.
You had me worried there.
- Don't do that.
- Don't do what?
- Don't fucking go
wasting it on me Johnny.
- Don't know what
you're talking about.
- You're fucking
pitying me Johnny.
Don't go fucking
pitying me, you hear me?
- No mate, I wasn't.
I was saying I was
worried about you
'cause we mate aren't we?
I didn't say that I pitied you,
besides, everything's
all right, isn't it?
We're celebrating.
- All right.
(Johnny sighing)
(footsteps walking)
- Johnny, same again?
- Yes please darling.
- Sure, do you want
me to bring them over.
- And deprive me of
staring at those two blue,
beautiful eyes?
- Charmer.
- Sorry blud, I
didn't see you there.
- It's right son.
- Who you calling son?
- I'm sure it was an accident.
- Yeah, that's right,
fucking accident.
- I'm sorry, can I
get two pints please?
Deep blue sea
Fuck me, who you
supposed to be Moby?
Fucking dick more like,
fuck me, what a dump.
- Hey, you two aren't gonna
be any trouble are you?
I just had these floors done
and I get off in an hour.
- An hour, I can get you
off quicker than that
if you feel me.
- I'm glad to see you've
got the right idea.
- You what?
- Otherwise some cunt
and a bigger cunt than you
is gonna come cut that tongue
right outta your mouth.
You kiss your mum with
that mouth do you?
- What the fuck you say
about my mom, prick?
You don't mind if
we sit here do ya?
You fucking deaf
or something, here
reckon this cunt's deaf.
Deaf or ain't got
no fucking manners.
Don't you know who
the fuck we are?
What you think if you sit there
all strong and silent
type that she'll fuck you.
Oi, you see her grandad,
I better could slip into
her pussy hole well easy,
you get me, a pint
about all she's worth.
You get me?
You can sniff her from here.
- Oy ease up.
Geezer could be a war
hero or something.
We salute you for your service.
Just look at ya.
You are well and truly blunted.
- Fuck me, that's right off.
When did you last
cleaned the lines?
- It's not the lines.
Could be the barrel.
Raquel, why don't you
go and check the barrel?
- Well fuck I, he speaks.
- Play on maestro.
(gentle music)
Life
(glass smashing)
- What you gonna do with
that, butter my fucking toast?
(people grunting)
Say my fucking name.
- What?
- Say his fucking name.
- I don't know
your fucking name.
Who the fuck are you?
- My name is Requiem, Requiem.
- Fuck Requiem, fuck
does that mean blud?
- It means a mass for the dead.
You illiterate fuck.
(upbeat music)
(singing in foreign language)
- [Announcer] Talking
about grooming.
Grooming is the process
of which offenders,
whether it be online or offline.
What we're talking about here
is the sexual trafficking
of children for
gain, and these are.
- You ready?
- Yep.
- Do you have your
geography book?
You have geography today,
right, it's Tuesday.
- Yeah, of course I
do, I'm not stupid.
- I'm just checking
'cause you know last week.
- I said I've got it.
(phone ringing)
- Eat it quick or
you'll be late.
- Oh, I'll get it.
- No, no.
Can you make sure she gets
off on time? I'll get it.
- Would you stop rushing me?
(phone ringing)
- Hello, hello.
(phone whirring)
(upbeat music)
- There he is, dead man walking.
- But what about the girl?
- Chris sent
pictures to The Duke.
She said the pay top dollar,
always do for the pure ones.
- How do you know?
I mean, not exactly
a sket is she?
- Daddy's little girl, for now.
I can smell that sweet
tiny thing from here.
(bell ringing)
(footsteps walking)
(gentle music)
- Ah, I thought I heard
it in the distance.
A little night music,
Mass for the Dead.
Please, come in.
(singing in foreign language)
I was just about to
put some coffee on.
Would you like one?
(liquid pouring)
How are you then Requiem,
just the same then?
- What can I do for you?
- Late payer, flash cunt,
gone and got himself
into all sorts.
I don't like the look of
the wolves at his door.
Dirty things, infested,
riddled with mange, no doubt.
You know what it's like
down there in the muck.
Course you do.
I want my pound of flesh first.
- Who do they work for?
- If you're worried,
take Johnny.
- I'm not worried.
- I should think fucking not.
You're a retired fucking hitman.
- Don't say that fucking word.
See what you don't understand
is if I were to hitman again,
return to the fray as it were,
you'd be the first to go
in the fucking ground.
I deny your life, just that.
Then I take everything
you fucking have,
if I were a hitman.
That's why you don't
want me to be hitman.
No one wants me to be
a hitman, not again.
'Cause I couldn't stop if I
got started, are we clear?
And I'm not gonna
start taking hood rats
out in the middle of
the fucking street.
And I'm not going back inside.
Not for you, not for no fucker.
(gentle music)
- Do I look like I
give a tinkle toss?
I know exactly what
you are, we both do.
The only thing worse than lying
is lying to yourself my son.
- There's a lot worse
things than lying.
- Well fortunately I've got
you to sort those things out
for me, haven't I?
So why don't you fuck
off and do them, huh?
Oh and Requiem,
you know that I know
it wasn't what you do.
What you did to put
you behind those bars.
Try and harness that anger.
Use it, be lucky Requiem.
Thanks hun.
(bell ringing)
- [Anna] Oh, I'll get it.
- No, I'll get it.
- It's fine it's
probably just Elsie.
If it was Elsie she would
have had her key, I'll get it.
- Sorry, I forgot my key.
- That's okay, come
on, how was school?
- That's Chris, we're on.
- Come on then.
- Did you get any homework?
- Not much.
- Elsie.
- History and maths.
- Elsie.
- And geography.
(bell ringing)
(shouting)
- Oh my god, no, no, no.
Elsie, run, go to
your room right now.
- No, she stays here.
You all stay here, no one's
going fucking nowhere.
- Please, please.
- Shut the fuck up, cunt.
- Please.
- Shut up.
(car engine approaches)
- Mate.
- Get in.
- It's gonna be okay darling.
Elsie, look at me.
Don't be scared, this
will be over soon.
- Will it?
- It's over when
we say it's over.
Now are you gonna tell her
or we gonna go to town
on your little girl?
- James, please, whatever's
going on, just tell them.
Just tell them whatever
they want to hear.
- I'd listen to your bird mate
and start fucking talking.
- Your husband's in
way over his head.
- What did you do?
- Tell me Anna.
It is Anna, isn't it?
Sorry, it was just the
way we come in here
there wasn't no time for
any proper introductions.
It is Anna, isn't it, Anna?
Good, good.
So what is it you think
your husband does for a job?
You know, like
the piece of shit.
Don't look at him, he ain't
fucking talking to you.
- Don't think he's
got much choice.
I think I broke his fucking jaw.
- He's a stockbroker.
- A stockbroker.
Well I suppose him
being a stockbroker
paid for all his fancy
house, didn't it?
Do you like your
fucking yard do ya?
- This is our home.
You don't have any right
barging in here like this.
I mean, who the
hell are you guys?
You're just thugs, you're
animals all of you.
- Your fucking home.
- What if I told you
that your husband
borrowed money off our boss.
And our boss is the
biggest heroin distributor
in the whole of Europe.
How'd that make you
fucking feel, Anna?
- Your whole fucking life
is a one big fucking lie.
A fucking fantasy.
- You know what's fucking real?
This moment right now is real.
We are gonna burn your house
down to the fucking ground.
How does that make
you fucking feel.
- Big bad wolves.
- And the three little pigs.
(person snorting)
- Please.
- You wanna watch?
- Watch what?
- Big bad wolf fuck
the little piglet
before he takes it to market.
- Please don't, please don't
hurt her, I'm begging you.
- Please, please, someone help.
(people screaming)
(James shouting)
- Jade, I'm working.
I will be home but
it's gonna be late.
Just make sure that
you do your homework.
Have something to
eat and go bed early
so you're ready for
school, all right?
All right, love you, bye.
Chevonne.
- What, looking for
something decent drink.
Fucking wine.
- [Chris] So fucking
drink it then
'Cause we're fucking
off in the morning.
- For we rise at daybreak!
- Going anywhere nice?
- Who the fuck are you?
- Hope you don't mind,
left the front door open.
We're looking for James London.
- Yo, what fucking the are
yous doing to my house?
Blood.
- We're looking
for James London.
- Yeah, he's fucking gone.
Blood, you get me?
- No, he moved on.
- So he's gone.
- Don't he fucking he speak.
- When he has to.
This James, how long
has he been gone?
- I don't fucking know.
- So they've gone.
- Yeah, they fucked
off, they're gone.
- And here you are.
- Yep, and here we is.
- Apologies for
disturbing your evening.
So you fucking should
walking into a man's house
all tooled up.
You could have had your
fucking heads blown off.
Don't suppose he left
a forwarding address.
- Who?
- Fucking James.
Who the fuck do I look
like, Postman Cunting Pat.
- Listen, right?
He's obviously gone somewhere,
you know what I mean?
I'll tell you what we'll do,
we'll pass on a fucking
message to the cunt.
Yeah.
How about yous two leave
us your fucking names
and we'll see what we can do.
How about that?
- Well, who's the
fuck do yous work for?
- We work for Big Joe.
- Who the fuck is Big Joe?
- Joe Allen.
- Yeah Joe Allen.
- Well let's just hope
that cunt turns up then.
- Yeah, they always
do in the end.
- Well this has been lovely,
but in the most polite
as possible way,
can I ask you now to off?
- Yeah, all right.
Once again, apologies for
disturbing your evening.
(gentle music)
One with a big gob is Chris.
Bigger gob, Chevonne.
The one we saw through the
window, Aaron, I know him.
He used to run
with Danny's crew.
He's part of the Mile End gang.
He was their Geordie connection.
Anyway, he went
away for a stretch,
came down here and he
fell in with these two.
And they don't play about,
they may look like a
pair of fucking cunts
who don't know what
they're fucking doing.
But the person they represent
and what they represent.
- Smack, fucking
scag heads Johnny.
- Yeah.
- What?
- They don't just move
fucking brown sugar.
They traffic young girls.
I'm not going down that
fucking rabbit hole.
- They had the guy's kid Johnny.
- It's not our
problem, boss's orders.
- How old do you think
she'd be, 12, 13?
- Yeah, something like that.
Look what he owes Joe,
ain't worth the trouble.
He says he's walked away from
more before over far less.
Have you lost something?
- Have you got any Charlie?
- Do you really need it?
Here.
- Fuck am I gonna
do that Johnny.
- Look, just do
me a favour, yeah,
go home straight after,
I'll drop you off.
- I haven't been home in
over 10 years, Johnny.
- Here's to past lives lived.
(gentle music)
- And lost.
- Easy mate, we go.
Here, let's go.
Easy does it.
I've got you, I've got you.
Easy, easy.
- What's up boss?
- Everything going to plan?
- Yeah, everything's
going sweet.
- And the girl.
- Yeah, perfect.
Proper, perfect.
Everything's gone sweet, we've
done exactly what you said.
- To market, to market
to buy a fat pig.
- Yo, you should see this
one boss, proper pert.
There's no fat on it at all.
It'll take more than a flesh
wound to make this one squeal.
I'll tell you what,
I'm even tempted to make
a bid myself for it.
- Don't touch what you
can't afford Chris.
Deflower my rose garden and
I will take your life away,
make no mistake.
Like slipping into a warm bath,
you won't feel a thing,
I can assure you.
Mark her and your
card is marked.
Do we have an understanding?
- Yes, yes.
- Excuse me?
- Yes boss.
- Good.
I want you and Aaron to
do a drop for me tomorrow.
- And what about the girl?
- Chevonne can handle her.
(gentle music)
- Boo.
You know he told us not to
touch what we can't afford,
not to leave a mark.
But have you ever seen a
pig that isn't branded?
- You and Chris
better get going.
I'll look after her, right.
You've gotta be there and back
by the afternoon or heads
are gonna fucking roll.
- You've pissed yourself.
You know what you are.
You're a dirty little birdie.
I'm gonna give you five
minutes to clean yourself up
and if not, I'm gonna come
back and do it myself.
(gentle music)
- [Announcer] The
police social services
have let these girls
down, without a doubt.
These girls brought
this up in 2008.
- This about yesterday, the kid?
Stay out of it.
Yesterday, that was good advice,
today it's an order.
Do you know who
these people are,
where that girl's heading,
Did Johnny tell you
who they work for?
Well, let me educate you then.
Do you know what
a heroin baby is?
All those Eastern
European beggars
you see on the high street
sitting around in
their own filth,
they've always got
a baby with them.
That baby's always asleep.
They give them heroin
so they stay like that
all day and all night.
And when they're old enough,
and I do mean old
enough to walk,
they're sold to
the highest bidder.
Do you know whose idea that was?
Do you know who sits right at
the top of that fucking tree?
The one person in this life
that you really don't
wanna cross, The Duke.
- I can't let them do
that, not to this one.
Be blind Requiem,
don't be brave.
You're a debt collector.
Not fucking Unicef.
She's a child.
It's not as if
she's a giant whale
or a fucking panda, is it?
There's always plenty of
children to go around.
She'll be sucking fresh
cock this time next week.
Are you familiar with
the story about the snake
and the fish,
folklore of Armenian descent
as told to me by my
very dear friend Kevork.
Snake in a fish become friends.
Snake says to fish, will take
me swimming on your back?
Well they're friends so the
fish says, yeah, of course.
So the snake gets
on the fish's back
and shows him all
around the seas
and takes him swimming
and all of a sudden,
for no reason at all,
the snake bites the fish.
"What did you do that for?"
He said the fish and the snake
said, "It's in my nature.
It's a characteristic."
Said the snake.
And with that the fish said,
"I've also got characteristics,
funnily enough."
And with his dying breath,
it dives into the murky depths
of the ocean and
drowns the snake.
- What's your point?
- I can see it in your
eyes, no matter what I say,
you've already
made your mind up.
It's in your nature.
You think she'll
thank you for it.
Do you think she'll say,
oh Requiem, my hero.
Do you think it'll
atone for your sins?
- I've served my time.
- Yes indeed you did.
A junkie cunt found
in his mum's floor
with a needle in his arm covered
in his own shit and piss,
nasty business.
Manslaughter though,
you're welcome.
- The wild, cruel beast is
not behind the bars of a cage.
It's in front of it.
- Ain't no use you
crying over spilled milk.
My parents died
at half your age.
The world can be a
very, very cruel,
cruel place and you're
fucking welcome to it.
Well you gotta eat this,
don't want you fucking moaning
on the journey up there, right?
Come on, eat it.
Are you listening to me?
There ain't no great
white knight gonna come
and save you, this
isn't a fairy tale.
You're fucked.
(birds chirping)
(gentle music)
(bag rustling)
- All I need is a tall ship
and a star to sail her by.
Goodbye, old girl.
(dramatic music)
- [Doctor Gelmini]
This is Doctor Gelmini
from the Webster Clinic.
Please give me a call
when you get this
as we need to schedule
a follow-up appointment
with myself and Dr. Bloom.
Thank you.
(Chevonne sniffing)
(sighing)
- Stop.
- What the fuck.
- Watch your fucking mouth.
Where's the girl?
- Fuck off mate.
- Get her now.
No, call her.
- Elsie, oh Elsie dear.
- Elsie, my name is Requiem
and you're coming with me.
I'm here to rescue you,
do you understand me?
We're gonna leave this place.
So if you've packed, I want
you to go and grab your bag.
Go now.
- When my mate gets
back, you are gonna be.
- Shut the fuck up, cunt.
Good girl.
Elsie, I want you to
go upstairs, outside,
cross the road, black car,
go get in it and go now.
- Mate, we need
that fucking girl.
- Well you don't fucking
have her, do you?
Listen, I'm gonna walk
out that door now,
try following me, I'm
gonna put a bullet
in your fucking head
and one in your cunt
for good measure, do
you hear me, say yes.
(Chevonne spitting)
He was fucking right, animals,
the fucking lot of you.
(gun shot)
- Fuck, shit, Jesus.
- Fuck Shit Jesus is
right, stay there.
- Yo, you better
get down here now.
You know the two
cunts from last night,
they've only come and
took the little bitch.
The two cunts from last night.
Just get down here
now, fuck, cunts.
- Got it.
The address is registered
to a Jonathan Murray.
I've got it, must only
be a few miles away.
Let's go, you're driving.
- What do you mean
you're driving?
Can't someone fucking take over?
I'm always fucking driving.
- Because you
fucked up you cunt.
- Fuck you.
- I've got some time
before my flight.
Wanna see the girl,
bring her to my hotel.
- Yeah, there might be
a problem with that.
(traffic)
(birds chirping)
- I'm sorry about your parents.
Listen, they're gonna come
after us, those people.
I'm gonna protect you,
I wanna keep you safe.
But it means we're gonna
have to go on a trip.
We're not gonna be coming
back for a long time kid.
There's something I've gotta do.
Somebody I've gotta
say goodbye to.
You understand?
Here, wanna listen
to some music?
I'm gonna be right over there.
See it, just there, all right?
(gentle music)
(sirens whirring)
- I'm sorry we're not
open at the moment.
No, no, don't come any closer.
I don't want you near me.
It's been 20 years.
- 20 years, 8
months and 16 days.
- What do you want?
- I needed to see you.
- Why?
- It's complicated.
- Oh yeah, it's complicated.
- Is she?
- Oh, don't you
mention her name.
She stopped being your daughter
the day you walked
out that door.
We both stopped
being yours that day.
Everything good in her is
because she grew up without you.
She doesn't even
know who you are.
And she's better for it with
every fiber of her being.
Everything you touch
just withers and dies.
You've got no right.
- There's something
I need to tell you.
- Well, I don't wanna hear it.
What could you
possibly have to say
that would be any
good to anyone?
What did you ever have to say?
Well, I can see
someone wanted you,
which is more than I ever did.
Is that supposed to
make me feel something?
- It's there to make me
feel something, it's there
to remind me of what I
did and what I've lost.
And of course I knew deep
down that it was fate,
I'd ever be able to love you
from far after what I did.
How'd you come back from that?
- And who made you the
judge, jury an executioner?
Toby did, when he.
Oh, you need to leave.
(upbeat music)
(singing in foreign language)
- Do you know when I was
inside the things I did,
the things I fucking well went
through to get back to you?
All I ever wanted to do
was to get back to you.
- I don't care what
you went through,
you are confusing
your selfish desire
to wind the clock back to a
time when I didn't hate you.
Wishing we had more time.
But now I've got all
the time in the world.
It just doesn't involve you.
- Would you ever say to me,
stop?
If you loved me, you'd stop.
- Not in a thousand years.
- Not in 1000 years.
You were the love of my life.
- And you were mine.
But you're also the pain of it.
(gentle music)
- Are you okay?
- What's this song?
- It was my parents' favorite.
(person breathing)
- Come on Johnny,
pick up, fuck sake.
Pick up Johnny, shit.
(singing in foreign language)
- [Chris] Yo boss, we got him.
- Got this.
You know what you got, fucked.
You got fucked Chris, and
in doing so, you fucked me.
So I suggest you carry
on following your lead
while I clean up
your fucking mess.
- Fuck man.
- What the fuck is it now?
- Yo, he's here, we're on.
(birds chirping)
- You all right mate.
You lost something?
- You fucking want some do you?
Come on then you fucker,
let's fucking have it hey?
(person groaning)
(footsteps walking)
- Can I help you Mr.
- Hope you don't
mind, I let myself in.
(chair creaking)
- No, no, I don't mind.
Can I offer you a drink?
- What, are we celebrating?
It seems one of your
animals has gone loose.
I want to know who he is.
I want to know where he is
and I wanna know
where he is going.
(gentle music)
You see he's got something
that belongs to me.
You need to put this right.
Any idea where he is?
- Dover.
Southampton, maybe.
(gentle music)
- Really?
I was so excited to meet you.
Heard so many wonderful
words about you,
your reputation
proceeds you Mr Allen.
My goodness, where
are my manners,
I haven't even introduced
myself, The Duke.
(person grunting)
It's over, it's okay.
- I'll be right back.
Listen, I'm gonna
be five minutes
and I gotta come back for you.
I will come back for you.
If I'm not back in five
minutes, I want to go here.
I want you to run
to the nearest taxi,
ask him to take you here, okay?
And whatever you do,
don't forget this one.
(door whirring)
- Johnny.
(gentle music)
Johnny.
Johnny.
(person crying)
Johnny.
Fuck.
Johnny, no.
- Well?
- We got lucky, he
was old school enough
not to have a
password on his phone,
but smart enough to have
tracking on his car.
- Yo boss, we got him.
(gentle music)
- Why are you so grumpy?
- Why are you so grumpy?
- Drug dealers killed the
only people I've ever loved.
Fuck you.
Where are we,
where are we going?
- Home.
(wind whirring)
You hungry, wanna
grab something to eat.
(banging)
Fucking cars.
(banging continues)
Well that's that
decided then. Shit.
(gentle music)
Trouble?
Just started fucking banging.
- Let's take a look now then.
(car whirring)
Londoners?
- Something like that.
What do you think it is?
- Oh, it's just a simple fix.
That right there has
just slipped out,
just to replacement part.
I'm assuming you've
put a few miles on her.
Shouldn't take more than
half an hour, an hour tops.
- Yeah.
- An hour.
- Listen, is there
somewhere around here
we can get something to
eat, I'm fucking starving.
- Ali's Diner, right up there
on the left, can't miss it.
- An hour.
- An hour.
- Thanks mate.
- Duncan.
Thank you Duncan.
- Come on trouble.
- Right, let's go, he stopped.
- What is your
last slave die of?
Can I please have my coffee.
Whereabouts are they?
- Glen Coe, near Loche
something or other.
- All right, let's go.
(engine starts)
(gentle music)
I'm looking for a friend of
mine, drives a black Audi.
He's in his late fifties.
He's got a little girl with him.
Aye, they were here,
on a road trip, right?
- Yeah, right.
- I don't suppose you
know which way the went.
- I'm sorry, I wasn't really.
(metal banging)
(gun shot)
- Fucking jock cunt.
- Do you feel better?
- Oh yes.
Right, let's go.
- It's that way.
(birds chirping)
- The rest of the
way we take on foot.
(door whirring)
Dad.
- Eddie, what the
hell do you want?
- I need your help.
Well, I'll tell you like
I told you 36 years ago,
you're on your own.
She yours?
- She's my responsibility.
Well in that case we're
all fucked, aren't we?
(snorting)
- Come on you two, fucking
get your noses around this.
Come on.
(upbeat music)
- Got the cunt.
Eddie Willis, did 15 for
manslaughter, some smack head.
According to this he was
35 when he was convicted.
He's been out five
so 55 give or take.
- That works out.
Fuck me, this geezer's
going way up north.
- So fucking what?
Come on.
- All right, I've got an
old directory listing here
for David Willis in Cena, Senna?
Scotland, Glen something.
It's like another
fucking language.
- No, he says his dad's David
in this article here like.
- We found him.
- Sweet, fucking
sorted, come on you two,
have one of these, come on.
(snorting, gentle music)
- Should I go check on him?
He must be hungry too.
- He can take care of himself.
- Your his dad?
- Yeah.
- So he's your son?
- Yeah.
- Then why don't
you like each other?
That doesn't make
much sense to me.
- Well, he doesn't
make much sense to me.
He did something wrong once.
Something I could never forgive.
- Something you couldn't forgive
or something you
couldn't understand.
- How old did you say you were?
- 12 and three quarters.
- 12 and three quarters.
- I'll be 13 in
May, May the 29th.
- Aren't you gonna introduce me?
- Don't change the subject.
- He killed a man.
- Like the people who
killed my mom and dad?
- No, no, that
wasn't a good man.
There wasn't a man at all.
- But killing people isn't
very good either is it?
- Life's complicated Elsie.
- Then explain it to me.
What's this, he's
always writing in it,
always looking at it.
- Oh Eddie.
- What?
- They're equations Princess.
- Equations?
- Yeah, you know formulas.
- What for?
- Equations to reverse time.
Can I give you a word
of advice my darling?
Always have an escape plan and
never let them see you bleed.
(insects chirping)
There he is, the quitter.
You still can't quite quit that.
Elsie's made you
dinner, poor girl.
She seems to think
you are her only hope.
But don't worry, I've
set her straight.
Doesn't suit you drinking.
But of course you know that,
makes you an unpleasant
person amongst other things.
- Well you'd know
all about that.
- What's the matter?
You think you're better than me?
You, you show up
here on my doorstep
after all these years.
- Mum, she died hating you.
- Yeh, well she
died ashamed of you.
You were a stain
on the family name.
You know son of
mine, look at you.
I never wanted you.
No one did.
- Go fuck yourself.
- You watch your mouth.
- You watch your fucking mouth.
Do you know, until
yesterday, the only thing,
and the only time I ever wanted
to hear anything about you
was to be told that you.
- What, hey, what?
Go on, talk boy.
- The only time I wanted to hear
anything about you was
to be told you died.
And believe me when I
say that for 30 seconds
of every day of my fucking life,
I swear I've been waiting
for that phone call to come.
I mean, when are you
gonna fucking die?
You old, nasty,
evil, horrible cunt,
Christ, I hate you,
I fucking hate you.
- Think you're gonna
outlive me, eh?
The way you carry on,
drinking yourself to death.
Well, right back at you.
I can't stand the sight of you.
She showed me your notebook,
who do you think you are?
Marty McFly.
You think because I'm a
doctor who studied for years,
respected, decorated,
published for God's sake.
That's my gift.
You wanna reverse time
but you already did it.
You stupid, stupid boy.
You're living in the past,
you might call it
nostalgia or whatever,
but you're there,
never in the present,
always in the land of the other,
consumed by regret
and self-loathing.
- The only thing
you ever gave me
of any use was pain and hurt.
- Yeah, well that was more
than you ever deserved.
(gentle music)
You think if you suddenly
weren't there tomorrow,
that anyone would give a damn?
Tell me one person better
off for knowing you, eh?
Tell me one person who's
told you that they loved you.
- I lost my family, all of them.
- Yeah you did.
And Sasha lost hers
and every other person.
I lost your god damn mother.
We all carry hurt,
we all lost someone.
Take your head out of that
notebook and out of the past
and out of your backside.
'cause in there is a little girl
who's just lost
their family too.
It happens.
Causality, consequence,
repercussions,
responsibility.
- Oh yeah.
You live with that
did you, consequences?
- We all have to live with
it, there is no other choice.
You remember what
Oppenheimer said?
Any man whose
errors take 10 years
to correct is quite the man.
Be a man, boy.
But I meant it son.
I never thought
about you, not once.
- What am I supposed
to live with her?
Just because you are a lost
cause doesn't mean that she is.
She needs someone.
And I'm too God damn old.
(fire crackling)
(breathing)
(gentle music)
What are the rules?
- Always have an escape plan.
- And.
- Never let them see you bleed.
- Good girl.
What is it?
- I feel.
- Come on, it's okay, Princess.
- It's like butterflies
but not good.
It's like they're sad.
- That's grief.
- I don't like it.
What is it?
- Come with me, I'd like
to show you something.
All I need is a tall ship
and a star to sail bye.
You loved your parents, huh?
Up there.
Well, they may be far away,
but that doesn't mean that
they don't love you anymore.
Sometimes we have to
love people from afar.
It doesn't mean that
we love them any less.
- Are they really that far away?
- No Princess.
They're here in here.
That feeling that you
have, that's grief.
And what is grief
but love persevering.
(clouds whirring)
- Storm's coming.
- Don't you worry, princess.
They're just clouds.
They always pass.
(gentle music)
(birds chirping)
- There he is, quitter.
Could never quit those.
- I never even looked
at one for the 15 years
that you were inside.
- Never came to
see me, not once.
- What do you think
this is, huh, therapy.
A loving.
- Didn't even come to the trial.
It's okay dad, it's okay.
- What you're doing under
any other circumstances
would be admirable.
- Any other circumstances,
what the hell does that mean?
- Keep your voice
down, she's sleeping.
She's not your daughter, Eddie.
She can't be someone else.
You should know that
above everybody.
You can't lay that on her,
she can't be a substitute.
Oh, you could rescue her from
the people that are trying,
that killed her parents.
Or you could save her life.
Maybe even die for her.
But she can never be Chloe.
(dog barking)
- You know, I remember
when she was born, Chloe
I mean, it was the perfect
labor the midwife said,
I was there the whole time next
to Sasha, holding her hand.
Then right at the
last minute, Chloe,
she got the umbilical cord
wrapped around her neck.
She was strangling herself.
So they rushed
them into theater.
And I wasn't allowed
in, not at first.
I was outside in the hallway
and I could see Sasha
through one of those thin
glass panels in the door.
And she was looking
right back at me, crying.
We both were.
And that's when I
heard it, her cries,
echoing through the corridors.
And then that's
when they let me in
and I held her for
the first time.
I've never felt so
much love for someone.
At that moment I thought of you,
only for a moment,
a second if that,
I thought of you and you
didn't fucking deserve that.
All I could think of was all
the love I had for this tiny,
beautiful baby girl
that suddenly meant the
whole fucking world to me.
And I thought, there's
nothing this tiny, precious,
beautiful baby
girl could ever do
that would make me
walk away from her.
(birds chirping)
- But you did.
- And I became the person
I hate more than anything.
I became you.
I'm just try to do
the right thing dad.
- When did you ever
do the right thing?
You're doing this
for your conscience.
Well, at least it shows
that you've still got one.
- And that's what sets us apart.
You don't regret a single
day you never came to see me.
You don't even regret the day
that you told me
that I was on my own.
- You took a man's life.
- He raped my wife, Jesus.
What the fuck am I even
talking to you about this for?
What would you even know about?
- Where the hell are you going.
- For a drive.
- Oh mate, I'm sweating
like a paedophile
on a fucking rape charge.
So anyway, he gets
his bong right?
He goes half me, he walks in
there and fucking toking on it.
And doesn't even offer
me a bit of my own gear.
- He's a fucking
tight cunt, isn't he?
- Fucking telling me?
Hold on a minute,
dick I, have a look.
It's only our fucking mate.
(dramatic music)
(car roars)
- What is it?
- They're here.
- Okay.
You know what to do, Princess.
- The fuck are you doing?
(blows)
- We're having guests,
I'm just setting the mood.
(gentle music)
(cars whirring)
Land of hope and glory
Mother of the free
How shall we extol thee,
who are born of thee
(guns banging)
Shall thy bounds be set
You're my son, you don't
think I know what you are?
Go do what you do best.
(birds chirping)
Elsie, did you find it?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Okay, let's go.
Land of hope and glory,
mother of the free
How shall we extol thee
Thee
(knife slices)
(dog barking)
(glass breaking)
(punching)
- Are you okay?
- Getting a bit
old for all this.
Just give a moment.
(people shouting)
Now, go on.
You go on, and don't
stop for anyone.
What about what you told me?
- What?
- Never let them see you bleed.
- What else did I tell you?
(dogs barking)
(coughing)
(dramatic music)
(shouting)
- Ironic, isn't it that
you called us animals
and here you are on all fours
like an old fucking dog.
(grunting)
(shouting)
(explosions)
(gentle music)
(grunting)
(coughing)
- Stop.
(dramatic music)
(grunting)
What I say to you about
fucking fantasies?
Your mate about? Didn't
fucking think so.
Do you know how I found you?
'Cause I can always smell
the fucking pure ones.
Only thing is, I've
gotta make sure
that no one else finds
you the same way I did.
Ha, another tragedy by
your own fucking hand.
But before you die, I'm
gonna let you watch me
fuck her with this gun.
And then and only then
will you take your last
fucking breath, you'll be
looking into my fucking eyes.
You're coming with
me you little bitch.
And let's not forget,
I'm gonna fuck you
so hard with this fucking gun.
(gun shot)
(gentle music)
(person crying)
- I crossed the
length of the country,
to set you free,
to watch you run.
- [David] I must go
down to the seas again
for the call of the running tide
is a wild call and a clear
call that may not be denied.
And all I ask is a windy day
with the white clouds flying
and the flung spray
and the blown spume.
and the seagulls crying.
The function of man is
to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days
trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.
(birds chirping)
(glasses clinking)
(gentle music)
- As long as you're
happy with the product.
You know the rules, no returns,
no refunds, no
discounts, no buybacks.
All sales are final.
- Tickity-boo as you might say.
(person sighing)
Always you deliver.
- It is what it is, business.
A unique business.
I'm glad to have been
a service to you, Mr.
- Oh, Mikhail please.
- Mikhail.
(phone ringing)
Sorry.
- But of course.
Speak.
Hey, you have to understand,
it wasn't personal.
It was purely business.
Hold on a minute. Hold.
Now listen...
Mikhail, I apologize. But I have
to attend to, as we say,
business.
So you enjoy your drink,
stay as long as you want.
(gentle music)
(phone ringing)
(heart beating)
Speak.
- [Elsie] To market to
market, to buy a fat pig.
- Hey, you have to understand
it wasn't personal.
It was purely business.
- [Elsie] It was
all personal to me.
You killed the only two
people I ever loved.
- Hold on a minute, hold
a sec.
Mikhail
(knife slicing)

- All I ask is a tall ship
and a star to sail her by.
All I ask is a tall ship
and a star to sail her by.
All I ask is a tall ship
and a star to sail her by.
Is that enough?
(person laughing)
- Yeah.
- Can I keep this 'cause
this is written by Richard.
I can frame this couldn't I?
- Yeah, that's how
it will all begin.
(gentle music)
(film whirring)
- [Leslie Grantham]
Hello princess.
(wind whirring)
(gentle music)
(singing in foreign language)
- [David ] I must go
down to the seas again,
for the call of the running tide
is a wild call and a clear
call that may not be denied.
And all I ask is a windy day
with the white clouds flying
and the flung spray and the
blown spoon and the seagulls.
The function of man is
to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days
trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.
(machines beeping)
(sirens whirring)
(door whirring)
- Doctor Gelmini.
- I'm sorry to have kept you
Mr erm...
- It's fine, it's fine.
- Of course.
Did you come on your own today?
Someone with you, a friend
or relative perhaps?
- Listen, I have somewhere to be
so if we can just get
on with it please.
- All right then, there's
no easy way of saying this.
It is as Dr. Bloom
and I first feared,
it's a grade four glioblastoma.
- A tumor.
That's what Dr. Bloom
says was incurable, right?
Well the survival rate is
only 4% but some patients
can live up to five years.
- Some patients.
- Yes.
Although your tumor is much
more advanced than that.
- How long?
- If only you'd have
visited us sooner,
all those missed appoints,
time really was of the essence.
- I'm asking you
how long, please.
- Well, Dr. Bloom still
has to review these scans
and she'll be in
this afternoon...
perhaps six months.
- Six months, six months.
- But please do not despair.
I mean there are lots of
treatments out there available
from surgery to radiation
to chemotherapy.
In America they've even
had very good success
with the immunotherapy,
stem and gene therapy.
So the problem is.
(gentle music)
Every day I hide
under my hat
I'm a beggar in pain
- Mate, mate,
mate, you're in a
world of the other
The old quack have to say.
- He didn't say
shit about my liver.
So cheers to that.
- Well I'll fucking
drink to that, cheers.
Everything else
right though yeah?
- Sound as a pound John, yeah.
- Thank fuck for that.
You had me worried there.
- Don't do that.
- Don't do what?
- Don't fucking go
wasting it on me Johnny.
- Don't know what
you're talking about.
- You're fucking
pitying me Johnny.
Don't go fucking
pitying me, you hear me?
- No mate, I wasn't.
I was saying I was
worried about you
'cause we mate aren't we?
I didn't say that I pitied you,
besides, everything's
all right, isn't it?
We're celebrating.
- All right.
(Johnny sighing)
(footsteps walking)
- Johnny, same again?
- Yes please darling.
- Sure, do you want
me to bring them over.
- And deprive me of
staring at those two blue,
beautiful eyes?
- Charmer.
- Sorry blud, I
didn't see you there.
- It's right son.
- Who you calling son?
- I'm sure it was an accident.
- Yeah, that's right,
fucking accident.
- I'm sorry, can I
get two pints please?
Deep blue sea
Fuck me, who you
supposed to be Moby?
Fucking dick more like,
fuck me, what a dump.
- Hey, you two aren't gonna
be any trouble are you?
I just had these floors done
and I get off in an hour.
- An hour, I can get you
off quicker than that
if you feel me.
- I'm glad to see you've
got the right idea.
- You what?
- Otherwise some cunt
and a bigger cunt than you
is gonna come cut that tongue
right outta your mouth.
You kiss your mum with
that mouth do you?
- What the fuck you say
about my mom, prick?
You don't mind if
we sit here do ya?
You fucking deaf
or something, here
reckon this cunt's deaf.
Deaf or ain't got
no fucking manners.
Don't you know who
the fuck we are?
What you think if you sit there
all strong and silent
type that she'll fuck you.
Oi, you see her grandad,
I better could slip into
her pussy hole well easy,
you get me, a pint
about all she's worth.
You get me?
You can sniff her from here.
- Oy ease up.
Geezer could be a war
hero or something.
We salute you for your service.
Just look at ya.
You are well and truly blunted.
- Fuck me, that's right off.
When did you last
cleaned the lines?
- It's not the lines.
Could be the barrel.
Raquel, why don't you
go and check the barrel?
- Well fuck I, he speaks.
- Play on maestro.
(gentle music)
Life
(glass smashing)
- What you gonna do with
that, butter my fucking toast?
(people grunting)
Say my fucking name.
- What?
- Say his fucking name.
- I don't know
your fucking name.
Who the fuck are you?
- My name is Requiem, Requiem.
- Fuck Requiem, fuck
does that mean blud?
- It means a mass for the dead.
You illiterate fuck.
(upbeat music)
(singing in foreign language)
- [Announcer] Talking
about grooming.
Grooming is the process
of which offenders,
whether it be online or offline.
What we're talking about here
is the sexual trafficking
of children for
gain, and these are.
- You ready?
- Yep.
- Do you have your
geography book?
You have geography today,
right, it's Tuesday.
- Yeah, of course I
do, I'm not stupid.
- I'm just checking
'cause you know last week.
- I said I've got it.
(phone ringing)
- Eat it quick or
you'll be late.
- Oh, I'll get it.
- No, no.
Can you make sure she gets
off on time? I'll get it.
- Would you stop rushing me?
(phone ringing)
- Hello, hello.
(phone whirring)
(upbeat music)
- There he is, dead man walking.
- But what about the girl?
- Chris sent
pictures to The Duke.
She said the pay top dollar,
always do for the pure ones.
- How do you know?
I mean, not exactly
a sket is she?
- Daddy's little girl, for now.
I can smell that sweet
tiny thing from here.
(bell ringing)
(footsteps walking)
(gentle music)
- Ah, I thought I heard
it in the distance.
A little night music,
Mass for the Dead.
Please, come in.
(singing in foreign language)
I was just about to
put some coffee on.
Would you like one?
(liquid pouring)
How are you then Requiem,
just the same then?
- What can I do for you?
- Late payer, flash cunt,
gone and got himself
into all sorts.
I don't like the look of
the wolves at his door.
Dirty things, infested,
riddled with mange, no doubt.
You know what it's like
down there in the muck.
Course you do.
I want my pound of flesh first.
- Who do they work for?
- If you're worried,
take Johnny.
- I'm not worried.
- I should think fucking not.
You're a retired fucking hitman.
- Don't say that fucking word.
See what you don't understand
is if I were to hitman again,
return to the fray as it were,
you'd be the first to go
in the fucking ground.
I deny your life, just that.
Then I take everything
you fucking have,
if I were a hitman.
That's why you don't
want me to be hitman.
No one wants me to be
a hitman, not again.
'Cause I couldn't stop if I
got started, are we clear?
And I'm not gonna
start taking hood rats
out in the middle of
the fucking street.
And I'm not going back inside.
Not for you, not for no fucker.
(gentle music)
- Do I look like I
give a tinkle toss?
I know exactly what
you are, we both do.
The only thing worse than lying
is lying to yourself my son.
- There's a lot worse
things than lying.
- Well fortunately I've got
you to sort those things out
for me, haven't I?
So why don't you fuck
off and do them, huh?
Oh and Requiem,
you know that I know
it wasn't what you do.
What you did to put
you behind those bars.
Try and harness that anger.
Use it, be lucky Requiem.
Thanks hun.
(bell ringing)
- [Anna] Oh, I'll get it.
- No, I'll get it.
- It's fine it's
probably just Elsie.
If it was Elsie she would
have had her key, I'll get it.
- Sorry, I forgot my key.
- That's okay, come
on, how was school?
- That's Chris, we're on.
- Come on then.
- Did you get any homework?
- Not much.
- Elsie.
- History and maths.
- Elsie.
- And geography.
(bell ringing)
(shouting)
- Oh my god, no, no, no.
Elsie, run, go to
your room right now.
- No, she stays here.
You all stay here, no one's
going fucking nowhere.
- Please, please.
- Shut the fuck up, cunt.
- Please.
- Shut up.
(car engine approaches)
- Mate.
- Get in.
- It's gonna be okay darling.
Elsie, look at me.
Don't be scared, this
will be over soon.
- Will it?
- It's over when
we say it's over.
Now are you gonna tell her
or we gonna go to town
on your little girl?
- James, please, whatever's
going on, just tell them.
Just tell them whatever
they want to hear.
- I'd listen to your bird mate
and start fucking talking.
- Your husband's in
way over his head.
- What did you do?
- Tell me Anna.
It is Anna, isn't it?
Sorry, it was just the
way we come in here
there wasn't no time for
any proper introductions.
It is Anna, isn't it, Anna?
Good, good.
So what is it you think
your husband does for a job?
You know, like
the piece of shit.
Don't look at him, he ain't
fucking talking to you.
- Don't think he's
got much choice.
I think I broke his fucking jaw.
- He's a stockbroker.
- A stockbroker.
Well I suppose him
being a stockbroker
paid for all his fancy
house, didn't it?
Do you like your
fucking yard do ya?
- This is our home.
You don't have any right
barging in here like this.
I mean, who the
hell are you guys?
You're just thugs, you're
animals all of you.
- Your fucking home.
- What if I told you
that your husband
borrowed money off our boss.
And our boss is the
biggest heroin distributor
in the whole of Europe.
How'd that make you
fucking feel, Anna?
- Your whole fucking life
is a one big fucking lie.
A fucking fantasy.
- You know what's fucking real?
This moment right now is real.
We are gonna burn your house
down to the fucking ground.
How does that make
you fucking feel.
- Big bad wolves.
- And the three little pigs.
(person snorting)
- Please.
- You wanna watch?
- Watch what?
- Big bad wolf fuck
the little piglet
before he takes it to market.
- Please don't, please don't
hurt her, I'm begging you.
- Please, please, someone help.
(people screaming)
(James shouting)
- Jade, I'm working.
I will be home but
it's gonna be late.
Just make sure that
you do your homework.
Have something to
eat and go bed early
so you're ready for
school, all right?
All right, love you, bye.
Chevonne.
- What, looking for
something decent drink.
Fucking wine.
- [Chris] So fucking
drink it then
'Cause we're fucking
off in the morning.
- For we rise at daybreak!
- Going anywhere nice?
- Who the fuck are you?
- Hope you don't mind,
left the front door open.
We're looking for James London.
- Yo, what fucking the are
yous doing to my house?
Blood.
- We're looking
for James London.
- Yeah, he's fucking gone.
Blood, you get me?
- No, he moved on.
- So he's gone.
- Don't he fucking he speak.
- When he has to.
This James, how long
has he been gone?
- I don't fucking know.
- So they've gone.
- Yeah, they fucked
off, they're gone.
- And here you are.
- Yep, and here we is.
- Apologies for
disturbing your evening.
So you fucking should
walking into a man's house
all tooled up.
You could have had your
fucking heads blown off.
Don't suppose he left
a forwarding address.
- Who?
- Fucking James.
Who the fuck do I look
like, Postman Cunting Pat.
- Listen, right?
He's obviously gone somewhere,
you know what I mean?
I'll tell you what we'll do,
we'll pass on a fucking
message to the cunt.
Yeah.
How about yous two leave
us your fucking names
and we'll see what we can do.
How about that?
- Well, who's the
fuck do yous work for?
- We work for Big Joe.
- Who the fuck is Big Joe?
- Joe Allen.
- Yeah Joe Allen.
- Well let's just hope
that cunt turns up then.
- Yeah, they always
do in the end.
- Well this has been lovely,
but in the most polite
as possible way,
can I ask you now to off?
- Yeah, all right.
Once again, apologies for
disturbing your evening.
(gentle music)
One with a big gob is Chris.
Bigger gob, Chevonne.
The one we saw through the
window, Aaron, I know him.
He used to run
with Danny's crew.
He's part of the Mile End gang.
He was their Geordie connection.
Anyway, he went
away for a stretch,
came down here and he
fell in with these two.
And they don't play about,
they may look like a
pair of fucking cunts
who don't know what
they're fucking doing.
But the person they represent
and what they represent.
- Smack, fucking
scag heads Johnny.
- Yeah.
- What?
- They don't just move
fucking brown sugar.
They traffic young girls.
I'm not going down that
fucking rabbit hole.
- They had the guy's kid Johnny.
- It's not our
problem, boss's orders.
- How old do you think
she'd be, 12, 13?
- Yeah, something like that.
Look what he owes Joe,
ain't worth the trouble.
He says he's walked away from
more before over far less.
Have you lost something?
- Have you got any Charlie?
- Do you really need it?
Here.
- Fuck am I gonna
do that Johnny.
- Look, just do
me a favour, yeah,
go home straight after,
I'll drop you off.
- I haven't been home in
over 10 years, Johnny.
- Here's to past lives lived.
(gentle music)
- And lost.
- Easy mate, we go.
Here, let's go.
Easy does it.
I've got you, I've got you.
Easy, easy.
- What's up boss?
- Everything going to plan?
- Yeah, everything's
going sweet.
- And the girl.
- Yeah, perfect.
Proper, perfect.
Everything's gone sweet, we've
done exactly what you said.
- To market, to market
to buy a fat pig.
- Yo, you should see this
one boss, proper pert.
There's no fat on it at all.
It'll take more than a flesh
wound to make this one squeal.
I'll tell you what,
I'm even tempted to make
a bid myself for it.
- Don't touch what you
can't afford Chris.
Deflower my rose garden and
I will take your life away,
make no mistake.
Like slipping into a warm bath,
you won't feel a thing,
I can assure you.
Mark her and your
card is marked.
Do we have an understanding?
- Yes, yes.
- Excuse me?
- Yes boss.
- Good.
I want you and Aaron to
do a drop for me tomorrow.
- And what about the girl?
- Chevonne can handle her.
(gentle music)
- Boo.
You know he told us not to
touch what we can't afford,
not to leave a mark.
But have you ever seen a
pig that isn't branded?
- You and Chris
better get going.
I'll look after her, right.
You've gotta be there and back
by the afternoon or heads
are gonna fucking roll.
- You've pissed yourself.
You know what you are.
You're a dirty little birdie.
I'm gonna give you five
minutes to clean yourself up
and if not, I'm gonna come
back and do it myself.
(gentle music)
- [Announcer] The
police social services
have let these girls
down, without a doubt.
These girls brought
this up in 2008.
- This about yesterday, the kid?
Stay out of it.
Yesterday, that was good advice,
today it's an order.
Do you know who
these people are,
where that girl's heading,
Did Johnny tell you
who they work for?
Well, let me educate you then.
Do you know what
a heroin baby is?
All those Eastern
European beggars
you see on the high street
sitting around in
their own filth,
they've always got
a baby with them.
That baby's always asleep.
They give them heroin
so they stay like that
all day and all night.
And when they're old enough,
and I do mean old
enough to walk,
they're sold to
the highest bidder.
Do you know whose idea that was?
Do you know who sits right at
the top of that fucking tree?
The one person in this life
that you really don't
wanna cross, The Duke.
- I can't let them do
that, not to this one.
Be blind Requiem,
don't be brave.
You're a debt collector.
Not fucking Unicef.
She's a child.
It's not as if
she's a giant whale
or a fucking panda, is it?
There's always plenty of
children to go around.
She'll be sucking fresh
cock this time next week.
Are you familiar with
the story about the snake
and the fish,
folklore of Armenian descent
as told to me by my
very dear friend Kevork.
Snake in a fish become friends.
Snake says to fish, will take
me swimming on your back?
Well they're friends so the
fish says, yeah, of course.
So the snake gets
on the fish's back
and shows him all
around the seas
and takes him swimming
and all of a sudden,
for no reason at all,
the snake bites the fish.
"What did you do that for?"
He said the fish and the snake
said, "It's in my nature.
It's a characteristic."
Said the snake.
And with that the fish said,
"I've also got characteristics,
funnily enough."
And with his dying breath,
it dives into the murky depths
of the ocean and
drowns the snake.
- What's your point?
- I can see it in your
eyes, no matter what I say,
you've already
made your mind up.
It's in your nature.
You think she'll
thank you for it.
Do you think she'll say,
oh Requiem, my hero.
Do you think it'll
atone for your sins?
- I've served my time.
- Yes indeed you did.
A junkie cunt found
in his mum's floor
with a needle in his arm covered
in his own shit and piss,
nasty business.
Manslaughter though,
you're welcome.
- The wild, cruel beast is
not behind the bars of a cage.
It's in front of it.
- Ain't no use you
crying over spilled milk.
My parents died
at half your age.
The world can be a
very, very cruel,
cruel place and you're
fucking welcome to it.
Well you gotta eat this,
don't want you fucking moaning
on the journey up there, right?
Come on, eat it.
Are you listening to me?
There ain't no great
white knight gonna come
and save you, this
isn't a fairy tale.
You're fucked.
(birds chirping)
(gentle music)
(bag rustling)
- All I need is a tall ship
and a star to sail her by.
Goodbye, old girl.
(dramatic music)
- [Doctor Gelmini]
This is Doctor Gelmini
from the Webster Clinic.
Please give me a call
when you get this
as we need to schedule
a follow-up appointment
with myself and Dr. Bloom.
Thank you.
(Chevonne sniffing)
(sighing)
- Stop.
- What the fuck.
- Watch your fucking mouth.
Where's the girl?
- Fuck off mate.
- Get her now.
No, call her.
- Elsie, oh Elsie dear.
- Elsie, my name is Requiem
and you're coming with me.
I'm here to rescue you,
do you understand me?
We're gonna leave this place.
So if you've packed, I want
you to go and grab your bag.
Go now.
- When my mate gets
back, you are gonna be.
- Shut the fuck up, cunt.
Good girl.
Elsie, I want you to
go upstairs, outside,
cross the road, black car,
go get in it and go now.
- Mate, we need
that fucking girl.
- Well you don't fucking
have her, do you?
Listen, I'm gonna walk
out that door now,
try following me, I'm
gonna put a bullet
in your fucking head
and one in your cunt
for good measure, do
you hear me, say yes.
(Chevonne spitting)
He was fucking right, animals,
the fucking lot of you.
(gun shot)
- Fuck, shit, Jesus.
- Fuck Shit Jesus is
right, stay there.
- Yo, you better
get down here now.
You know the two
cunts from last night,
they've only come and
took the little bitch.
The two cunts from last night.
Just get down here
now, fuck, cunts.
- Got it.
The address is registered
to a Jonathan Murray.
I've got it, must only
be a few miles away.
Let's go, you're driving.
- What do you mean
you're driving?
Can't someone fucking take over?
I'm always fucking driving.
- Because you
fucked up you cunt.
- Fuck you.
- I've got some time
before my flight.
Wanna see the girl,
bring her to my hotel.
- Yeah, there might be
a problem with that.
(traffic)
(birds chirping)
- I'm sorry about your parents.
Listen, they're gonna come
after us, those people.
I'm gonna protect you,
I wanna keep you safe.
But it means we're gonna
have to go on a trip.
We're not gonna be coming
back for a long time kid.
There's something I've gotta do.
Somebody I've gotta
say goodbye to.
You understand?
Here, wanna listen
to some music?
I'm gonna be right over there.
See it, just there, all right?
(gentle music)
(sirens whirring)
- I'm sorry we're not
open at the moment.
No, no, don't come any closer.
I don't want you near me.
It's been 20 years.
- 20 years, 8
months and 16 days.
- What do you want?
- I needed to see you.
- Why?
- It's complicated.
- Oh yeah, it's complicated.
- Is she?
- Oh, don't you
mention her name.
She stopped being your daughter
the day you walked
out that door.
We both stopped
being yours that day.
Everything good in her is
because she grew up without you.
She doesn't even
know who you are.
And she's better for it with
every fiber of her being.
Everything you touch
just withers and dies.
You've got no right.
- There's something
I need to tell you.
- Well, I don't wanna hear it.
What could you
possibly have to say
that would be any
good to anyone?
What did you ever have to say?
Well, I can see
someone wanted you,
which is more than I ever did.
Is that supposed to
make me feel something?
- It's there to make me
feel something, it's there
to remind me of what I
did and what I've lost.
And of course I knew deep
down that it was fate,
I'd ever be able to love you
from far after what I did.
How'd you come back from that?
- And who made you the
judge, jury an executioner?
Toby did, when he.
Oh, you need to leave.
(upbeat music)
(singing in foreign language)
- Do you know when I was
inside the things I did,
the things I fucking well went
through to get back to you?
All I ever wanted to do
was to get back to you.
- I don't care what
you went through,
you are confusing
your selfish desire
to wind the clock back to a
time when I didn't hate you.
Wishing we had more time.
But now I've got all
the time in the world.
It just doesn't involve you.
- Would you ever say to me,
stop?
If you loved me, you'd stop.
- Not in a thousand years.
- Not in 1000 years.
You were the love of my life.
- And you were mine.
But you're also the pain of it.
(gentle music)
- Are you okay?
- What's this song?
- It was my parents' favorite.
(person breathing)
- Come on Johnny,
pick up, fuck sake.
Pick up Johnny, shit.
(singing in foreign language)
- [Chris] Yo boss, we got him.
- Got this.
You know what you got, fucked.
You got fucked Chris, and
in doing so, you fucked me.
So I suggest you carry
on following your lead
while I clean up
your fucking mess.
- Fuck man.
- What the fuck is it now?
- Yo, he's here, we're on.
(birds chirping)
- You all right mate.
You lost something?
- You fucking want some do you?
Come on then you fucker,
let's fucking have it hey?
(person groaning)
(footsteps walking)
- Can I help you Mr.
- Hope you don't
mind, I let myself in.
(chair creaking)
- No, no, I don't mind.
Can I offer you a drink?
- What, are we celebrating?
It seems one of your
animals has gone loose.
I want to know who he is.
I want to know where he is
and I wanna know
where he is going.
(gentle music)
You see he's got something
that belongs to me.
You need to put this right.
Any idea where he is?
- Dover.
Southampton, maybe.
(gentle music)
- Really?
I was so excited to meet you.
Heard so many wonderful
words about you,
your reputation
proceeds you Mr Allen.
My goodness, where
are my manners,
I haven't even introduced
myself, The Duke.
(person grunting)
It's over, it's okay.
- I'll be right back.
Listen, I'm gonna
be five minutes
and I gotta come back for you.
I will come back for you.
If I'm not back in five
minutes, I want to go here.
I want you to run
to the nearest taxi,
ask him to take you here, okay?
And whatever you do,
don't forget this one.
(door whirring)
- Johnny.
(gentle music)
Johnny.
Johnny.
(person crying)
Johnny.
Fuck.
Johnny, no.
- Well?
- We got lucky, he
was old school enough
not to have a
password on his phone,
but smart enough to have
tracking on his car.
- Yo boss, we got him.
(gentle music)
- Why are you so grumpy?
- Why are you so grumpy?
- Drug dealers killed the
only people I've ever loved.
Fuck you.
Where are we,
where are we going?
- Home.
(wind whirring)
You hungry, wanna
grab something to eat.
(banging)
Fucking cars.
(banging continues)
Well that's that
decided then. Shit.
(gentle music)
Trouble?
Just started fucking banging.
- Let's take a look now then.
(car whirring)
Londoners?
- Something like that.
What do you think it is?
- Oh, it's just a simple fix.
That right there has
just slipped out,
just to replacement part.
I'm assuming you've
put a few miles on her.
Shouldn't take more than
half an hour, an hour tops.
- Yeah.
- An hour.
- Listen, is there
somewhere around here
we can get something to
eat, I'm fucking starving.
- Ali's Diner, right up there
on the left, can't miss it.
- An hour.
- An hour.
- Thanks mate.
- Duncan.
Thank you Duncan.
- Come on trouble.
- Right, let's go, he stopped.
- What is your
last slave die of?
Can I please have my coffee.
Whereabouts are they?
- Glen Coe, near Loche
something or other.
- All right, let's go.
(engine starts)
(gentle music)
I'm looking for a friend of
mine, drives a black Audi.
He's in his late fifties.
He's got a little girl with him.
Aye, they were here,
on a road trip, right?
- Yeah, right.
- I don't suppose you
know which way the went.
- I'm sorry, I wasn't really.
(metal banging)
(gun shot)
- Fucking jock cunt.
- Do you feel better?
- Oh yes.
Right, let's go.
- It's that way.
(birds chirping)
- The rest of the
way we take on foot.
(door whirring)
Dad.
- Eddie, what the
hell do you want?
- I need your help.
Well, I'll tell you like
I told you 36 years ago,
you're on your own.
She yours?
- She's my responsibility.
Well in that case we're
all fucked, aren't we?
(snorting)
- Come on you two, fucking
get your noses around this.
Come on.
(upbeat music)
- Got the cunt.
Eddie Willis, did 15 for
manslaughter, some smack head.
According to this he was
35 when he was convicted.
He's been out five
so 55 give or take.
- That works out.
Fuck me, this geezer's
going way up north.
- So fucking what?
Come on.
- All right, I've got an
old directory listing here
for David Willis in Cena, Senna?
Scotland, Glen something.
It's like another
fucking language.
- No, he says his dad's David
in this article here like.
- We found him.
- Sweet, fucking
sorted, come on you two,
have one of these, come on.
(snorting, gentle music)
- Should I go check on him?
He must be hungry too.
- He can take care of himself.
- Your his dad?
- Yeah.
- So he's your son?
- Yeah.
- Then why don't
you like each other?
That doesn't make
much sense to me.
- Well, he doesn't
make much sense to me.
He did something wrong once.
Something I could never forgive.
- Something you couldn't forgive
or something you
couldn't understand.
- How old did you say you were?
- 12 and three quarters.
- 12 and three quarters.
- I'll be 13 in
May, May the 29th.
- Aren't you gonna introduce me?
- Don't change the subject.
- He killed a man.
- Like the people who
killed my mom and dad?
- No, no, that
wasn't a good man.
There wasn't a man at all.
- But killing people isn't
very good either is it?
- Life's complicated Elsie.
- Then explain it to me.
What's this, he's
always writing in it,
always looking at it.
- Oh Eddie.
- What?
- They're equations Princess.
- Equations?
- Yeah, you know formulas.
- What for?
- Equations to reverse time.
Can I give you a word
of advice my darling?
Always have an escape plan and
never let them see you bleed.
(insects chirping)
There he is, the quitter.
You still can't quite quit that.
Elsie's made you
dinner, poor girl.
She seems to think
you are her only hope.
But don't worry, I've
set her straight.
Doesn't suit you drinking.
But of course you know that,
makes you an unpleasant
person amongst other things.
- Well you'd know
all about that.
- What's the matter?
You think you're better than me?
You, you show up
here on my doorstep
after all these years.
- Mum, she died hating you.
- Yeh, well she
died ashamed of you.
You were a stain
on the family name.
You know son of
mine, look at you.
I never wanted you.
No one did.
- Go fuck yourself.
- You watch your mouth.
- You watch your fucking mouth.
Do you know, until
yesterday, the only thing,
and the only time I ever wanted
to hear anything about you
was to be told that you.
- What, hey, what?
Go on, talk boy.
- The only time I wanted to hear
anything about you was
to be told you died.
And believe me when I
say that for 30 seconds
of every day of my fucking life,
I swear I've been waiting
for that phone call to come.
I mean, when are you
gonna fucking die?
You old, nasty,
evil, horrible cunt,
Christ, I hate you,
I fucking hate you.
- Think you're gonna
outlive me, eh?
The way you carry on,
drinking yourself to death.
Well, right back at you.
I can't stand the sight of you.
She showed me your notebook,
who do you think you are?
Marty McFly.
You think because I'm a
doctor who studied for years,
respected, decorated,
published for God's sake.
That's my gift.
You wanna reverse time
but you already did it.
You stupid, stupid boy.
You're living in the past,
you might call it
nostalgia or whatever,
but you're there,
never in the present,
always in the land of the other,
consumed by regret
and self-loathing.
- The only thing
you ever gave me
of any use was pain and hurt.
- Yeah, well that was more
than you ever deserved.
(gentle music)
You think if you suddenly
weren't there tomorrow,
that anyone would give a damn?
Tell me one person better
off for knowing you, eh?
Tell me one person who's
told you that they loved you.
- I lost my family, all of them.
- Yeah you did.
And Sasha lost hers
and every other person.
I lost your god damn mother.
We all carry hurt,
we all lost someone.
Take your head out of that
notebook and out of the past
and out of your backside.
'cause in there is a little girl
who's just lost
their family too.
It happens.
Causality, consequence,
repercussions,
responsibility.
- Oh yeah.
You live with that
did you, consequences?
- We all have to live with
it, there is no other choice.
You remember what
Oppenheimer said?
Any man whose
errors take 10 years
to correct is quite the man.
Be a man, boy.
But I meant it son.
I never thought
about you, not once.
- What am I supposed
to live with her?
Just because you are a lost
cause doesn't mean that she is.
She needs someone.
And I'm too God damn old.
(fire crackling)
(breathing)
(gentle music)
What are the rules?
- Always have an escape plan.
- And.
- Never let them see you bleed.
- Good girl.
What is it?
- I feel.
- Come on, it's okay, Princess.
- It's like butterflies
but not good.
It's like they're sad.
- That's grief.
- I don't like it.
What is it?
- Come with me, I'd like
to show you something.
All I need is a tall ship
and a star to sail bye.
You loved your parents, huh?
Up there.
Well, they may be far away,
but that doesn't mean that
they don't love you anymore.
Sometimes we have to
love people from afar.
It doesn't mean that
we love them any less.
- Are they really that far away?
- No Princess.
They're here in here.
That feeling that you
have, that's grief.
And what is grief
but love persevering.
(clouds whirring)
- Storm's coming.
- Don't you worry, princess.
They're just clouds.
They always pass.
(gentle music)
(birds chirping)
- There he is, quitter.
Could never quit those.
- I never even looked
at one for the 15 years
that you were inside.
- Never came to
see me, not once.
- What do you think
this is, huh, therapy.
A loving.
- Didn't even come to the trial.
It's okay dad, it's okay.
- What you're doing under
any other circumstances
would be admirable.
- Any other circumstances,
what the hell does that mean?
- Keep your voice
down, she's sleeping.
She's not your daughter, Eddie.
She can't be someone else.
You should know that
above everybody.
You can't lay that on her,
she can't be a substitute.
Oh, you could rescue her from
the people that are trying,
that killed her parents.
Or you could save her life.
Maybe even die for her.
But she can never be Chloe.
(dog barking)
- You know, I remember
when she was born, Chloe
I mean, it was the perfect
labor the midwife said,
I was there the whole time next
to Sasha, holding her hand.
Then right at the
last minute, Chloe,
she got the umbilical cord
wrapped around her neck.
She was strangling herself.
So they rushed
them into theater.
And I wasn't allowed
in, not at first.
I was outside in the hallway
and I could see Sasha
through one of those thin
glass panels in the door.
And she was looking
right back at me, crying.
We both were.
And that's when I
heard it, her cries,
echoing through the corridors.
And then that's
when they let me in
and I held her for
the first time.
I've never felt so
much love for someone.
At that moment I thought of you,
only for a moment,
a second if that,
I thought of you and you
didn't fucking deserve that.
All I could think of was all
the love I had for this tiny,
beautiful baby girl
that suddenly meant the
whole fucking world to me.
And I thought, there's
nothing this tiny, precious,
beautiful baby
girl could ever do
that would make me
walk away from her.
(birds chirping)
- But you did.
- And I became the person
I hate more than anything.
I became you.
I'm just try to do
the right thing dad.
- When did you ever
do the right thing?
You're doing this
for your conscience.
Well, at least it shows
that you've still got one.
- And that's what sets us apart.
You don't regret a single
day you never came to see me.
You don't even regret the day
that you told me
that I was on my own.
- You took a man's life.
- He raped my wife, Jesus.
What the fuck am I even
talking to you about this for?
What would you even know about?
- Where the hell are you going.
- For a drive.
- Oh mate, I'm sweating
like a paedophile
on a fucking rape charge.
So anyway, he gets
his bong right?
He goes half me, he walks in
there and fucking toking on it.
And doesn't even offer
me a bit of my own gear.
- He's a fucking
tight cunt, isn't he?
- Fucking telling me?
Hold on a minute,
dick I, have a look.
It's only our fucking mate.
(dramatic music)
(car roars)
- What is it?
- They're here.
- Okay.
You know what to do, Princess.
- The fuck are you doing?
(blows)
- We're having guests,
I'm just setting the mood.
(gentle music)
(cars whirring)
Land of hope and glory
Mother of the free
How shall we extol thee,
who are born of thee
(guns banging)
Shall thy bounds be set
You're my son, you don't
think I know what you are?
Go do what you do best.
(birds chirping)
Elsie, did you find it?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Okay, let's go.
Land of hope and glory,
mother of the free
How shall we extol thee
Thee
(knife slices)
(dog barking)
(glass breaking)
(punching)
- Are you okay?
- Getting a bit
old for all this.
Just give a moment.
(people shouting)
Now, go on.
You go on, and don't
stop for anyone.
What about what you told me?
- What?
- Never let them see you bleed.
- What else did I tell you?
(dogs barking)
(coughing)
(dramatic music)
(shouting)
- Ironic, isn't it that
you called us animals
and here you are on all fours
like an old fucking dog.
(grunting)
(shouting)
(explosions)
(gentle music)
(grunting)
(coughing)
- Stop.
(dramatic music)
(grunting)
What I say to you about
fucking fantasies?
Your mate about? Didn't
fucking think so.
Do you know how I found you?
'Cause I can always smell
the fucking pure ones.
Only thing is, I've
gotta make sure
that no one else finds
you the same way I did.
Ha, another tragedy by
your own fucking hand.
But before you die, I'm
gonna let you watch me
fuck her with this gun.
And then and only then
will you take your last
fucking breath, you'll be
looking into my fucking eyes.
You're coming with
me you little bitch.
And let's not forget,
I'm gonna fuck you
so hard with this fucking gun.
(gun shot)
(gentle music)
(person crying)
- I crossed the
length of the country,
to set you free,
to watch you run.
- [David] I must go
down to the seas again
for the call of the running tide
is a wild call and a clear
call that may not be denied.
And all I ask is a windy day
with the white clouds flying
and the flung spray
and the blown spume.
and the seagulls crying.
The function of man is
to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days
trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.
(birds chirping)
(glasses clinking)
(gentle music)
- As long as you're
happy with the product.
You know the rules, no returns,
no refunds, no
discounts, no buybacks.
All sales are final.
- Tickity-boo as you might say.
(person sighing)
Always you deliver.
- It is what it is, business.
A unique business.
I'm glad to have been
a service to you, Mr.
- Oh, Mikhail please.
- Mikhail.
(phone ringing)
Sorry.
- But of course.
Speak.
Hey, you have to understand,
it wasn't personal.
It was purely business.
Hold on a minute. Hold.
Now listen...
Mikhail, I apologize. But I have
to attend to, as we say,
business.
So you enjoy your drink,
stay as long as you want.
(gentle music)
(phone ringing)
(heart beating)
Speak.
- [Elsie] To market to
market, to buy a fat pig.
- Hey, you have to understand
it wasn't personal.
It was purely business.
- [Elsie] It was
all personal to me.
You killed the only two
people I ever loved.
- Hold on a minute, hold
a sec.
Mikhail
