This City is Ours (2025) s01e01 Episode Script
Episode 1
1
Why's mine the slow one?!
Da-ra-ra-da-da! ♪
Come on!
All right.
Yep. That'll do me.
God, here we go.
Like a bunch of kids.
Can't take them anywhere.
I still don't get the point
of this game.
I just like whacking balls
and pretending they're Davy's head.
Right, we're next, Dad. Go on.
It's your go.
I know it's my go.
Hey, hurry up and miss, Ron!
You can't rush genius, pal.
Oh, that's fighting talk, that.
Hey, do you fancy a bet, Ronnie?
I won't take your money, son.
This is guaranteed,
like Sheffield fucking steel.
"No clogs on green, Mr Phelan."
Hurry up, Pops.
I'm getting soaked here. Hold on.
Just give me a bit of fucking space.
Oh, just hit it!
Thanks, love!
Can you believe that?!
All right, I'll finish it
off for us, Dad.
So, I've been mulling over ways
to improve our margins.
Margins are good, Ronnie.
I'm not saying they're not.
Just asking the question.
Can they be better?
Wahey!
It's not worth the risk.
We don't want to start cutting it.
Oh, no.
Maybe there's something else.
How about we have a conversation
with the Amigos?
Why, though?
Why change what works?
I'd like money enough
to relax a bit more.
Would you help me do that?
Be good for the both of us.
My clogs would fit you nicely.
If that's what you want. Yeah.
All right.
Let me think on it a bit more.
Let you know tonight.
GLASS CLINKS
OK, listen.
I am going to play
the indulgent nana
and propose a toast.
To another little prince
All right, Mum.
..in the Phelan family.
To Alfie.
To Alfie!
Mr Peter Thomas?
Michael Kavanagh?
Can you confirm
your date of birth?
13th of the tenth, '88.
And you know why you're here?
What you need still?
Yeah.
Daft question, I know,
but you'd be surprised.
Been given your paperwork
and sample jar?
Yeah.
Provide your sample here
and leave it in the hatch, along
with your signed forms, OK?
Remote control,
DVDs and Wi-Fi code
are all here if you need it.
You must not use any lubricant
as it may affect the sample.
Yeah, fine.
Marvellous.
Thanks.
Hello there.
Hey, babe. Guess where I am.
I'm hoping
you're at the clinic.
Not only am I at the clinic,
I'm inside Wank Central.
And you thought of me?
You know what I'm like.
Forever the romantic.
Every surface in here
is wipe-clean.
Nice.
And there's porn.
That being said, er
I thought you might
you know,
give me some assistance.
Assistance?
Some words of encouragement?
Seeing as we're in this together.
Right, give me a minute.
You still there?
I'm not going anywhere, babe.
Well, in that case,
seeing as we are in this
together
..what if I join you,
so to speak?
Are you serious?
I'm just undoing a few buttons
and pushing my hand
inside some
very sheer underwear.
You are very, very good.
How come
we've never done this before?
I don't know.
It's good, isn't it?
Yeah, it's really good.
This City is Ours
1st episode
Take it from me
Ukrainian Albarino?
Yeah.
The soil and climate of the area
match northern Spain, apparently.
Mm. Mm. Love it. It's a good story.
Yeah, we should take it
and we should push it.
Thanks.
It's me.
Not only have I got
a low sperm count,
but the fellas I'm firing
can't even swim.
I'm sorry.
I don't care.
There are other ways
of getting pregnant.
Diana, you can't do that.
It's me that's the problem.
Michael, it's not a problem.
Yeah, it is.
We want a family together,
so we solve it together.
We put our trust
in the science.
You'd do that?
Yeah, I WANT to do that.
I love you.
And I like saying it.
Mm. So say it again.
PHONE VIBRATES
I love you.
And I'm going to Spain
in about three hours.
What's happening in Spain?
Ronnie's looking
for a bigger payday, and
..and he's making noises
about stepping aside.
And you step up?
You blow me away,
do you know that?
I'll see you tomorrow.
Going en masse, are we?
Solidarity.
Davy.
All right, Michael?
Jamie? What are you doing here?
It's Take Your Lad To Work Day.
Banksey's meeting us there, so
Ooh-hoo!
Inside, Ronnie.
Just the three of them.
Right. Yeah.
Over to you, lad.
DANCE MUSIC PLAYS
Hang on.
What are we drinking here?
Where's it from again, Ricky?
I first tried it in Galicia.
It's normal there for the
person preparing the queimada
to whisper some words.
HE BLOWS HARD
It's an incantation to cast out
demons and bad spirits.
It sounds like bollocks.
Nah, Jay, it's true, you know.
I've seen it, yeah.
Am I allowed to spit it out?
A toast.
To friendship and business.
Friendship and business.
Oh!
What Ronnie is asking for
is more of the same,
but on better terms.
Same gear, better price
is what we want.
We need to hear only one voice.
We're saying the same thing.
One voice makes sense.
So, what can you do?
What is it you are proposing?
A change in price means that
something else has to change.
Ronnie wants an improvement.
If a lower price means buying
more product, then fine.
If it means us adjusting
the means of transport, fine.
Bear in mind
there are other suppliers,
it's a big world.
Jamie.
Go and take a piss.
There's a good lad.
Jamie.
Do you know what? I am suddenly
desperate for a piss.
Yes, he is Ronnie's son,
but why is he at this table?
He's learning.
Why is he learning?
Our business
is with you, Michael.
You think I'm doing
the right thing, Davy?
Honestly?
Of course, fucking honestly!
I don't know.
That little bit more risk,
for a truckload more profit,
so to speak, but
..you need that little bit
more luck, don't you?
What about your man at the
docks? What can he do for us?
Nah, Ron.
He's eyes-only.
He can tell me if the container
gets through customs,
but, nah, he can't change it.
So he's the best mate of
useless, then.
He can tell us
if we're going to be safe.
And he can keep us out
of a Cat A shithole.
Mm-hm.
We buy as soon as it clears
the border.
What if we buy earlier,
at sea?
We take on the risk
of the UK border ourselves.
A direct shipment to Liverpool
in two, three weeks' time.
Could you work up a price
based on that?
If you are sure
that is what you want.
That's what we want,
what Ronnie wants.
Look, it's gone straight
through. It's all good, yeah.
You sure you still want me
to go through with this?
OK. OK.
Oh, shit.
Fucking hell
Hello, Ronnie?
It's not looking good, pal.
It's not looking good at all.
Michael?
Eight. Eight very
healthy-looking eggs.
Oh! God, that's fantastic!
Fantastic.
So, Michael, your turn next.
Fingers crossed, as always.
Thank you.
DOOR OPENS
Eight.
Eight!
You OK?
Mm-hm.
We should get you home.
My man on site was saying
that the container was
..like, screened off
and it was taken apart.
Then they put it back together,
and then he sent it on its way.
They're saying
that there's a buzz.
Lots of, erm,
happy faces dockside.
Happy faces?
Yeah.
You know, um, backslapping
and
Yeah?
Yeah.
Then we leave it alone.
We've got to.
Christ.
It stays parked in the yard
and we don't go near it.
What else can we do? It's going
to be rammed with spyware,
and they'll be waiting for us
to collect.
What if they're not waiting
for us to collect?
What if they've found fuck-all?
If they opened it,
they found it.
No, theythey, they, um
they definitely opened it.
Fuck!
Ronnie?! Fuck!
It's gone.
First time we buy at source,
and we tank.
So what I'm thinking,
is it bad luck or is it a rat?
Heavy coincidence.
Then it's a rat,
killing our supply.
You know, if it gets out we've
got a hole in our supply lines,
we'll have every twat
trying to fill it.
Mancs, Geordies,
every fucking flavour of Mafia.
So who knew?
You, me, Davy Crawford,
Banksey, Jamie, Bobby.
All 100%, solid.
And the Amigos.
No chance.
You know, I think they're
trying to teach me a lesson.
They're purely business, Ronnie.
And they'll still want paying.
So it's one of us.
Find out if anyone is selling
as much as a wrap on our patch.
Yeah? Can you do that?
You want me to wade through the
shit on the streets?
Well, who else can I ask?
I won't forget it.
BIKE BELL DINGS
Get up here, now!
Get in that car!
Go on! In!
Go on!
I don't think yous know who
the fuck you're messing with.
Clowns on a fucking stick.
So, go on, then, soft lad.
Who are we messing with?
Whose lemo are you selling?
Fuck off. I'm not a grass.
I could punch you all night,
you know.
You've got one of them
fucking little faces!
Fucking listen to me.
You can keep your bits,
you can keep your phone,
and we can pretend
like this never happened.
But you are going to fucking
tell me who you're selling for.
Do you know who
YOU'RE fucking messing with?
I can't get my head around
that he's one of us.
It's greed. It's always greed,
and it's put a massive hole
in Ronnie's pension pot.
He's going to want him ended.
Here we go.
I just don't get it.
Davy fucking Crawford?!
You never know.
Might just be a book club.
Here we are.
It's veggie chilli, Melissa.
Oh, thank you.
And there's guacamole
and yoghurt.
No tortilla chips?
I make a nice chilli,
don't I, Jay?
She does, you know.
PHONE VIBRATES
Thanks.
No phones at the dinner table,
Ronnie.
We're not Americans.
We are not.
How come you asked Davy Crawford
to be a godparent?
I like him.
Youyou like him?
Shouldn't I?
Yeah.
What is it you like about him?
Don't know, he's a nice fella,
isn't he? He's harmless.
Is there a problem?
No. Good man.
Hiya.
No, you don't!
Get here!
Shut the fuck up! Now!
Don't you fucking move!
Jamie! No! Stop it!
Whothe fuckdo you think
you fucking are?!
Fucking get off me, Banksey!
He pulled a fucking knife
on me!
Don't be daft, you!
It's OK. Sh, sh, sh.
Are you OK?
What's he running in here -
a fucking nursery?
Hello there.
Morning, babe.
Did I wake you?
I was just dozing.
I never sleep properly
without you here.
Where are you?
At the flat.
Late night.
Are you OK?
DOOR BUZZER
What time's
the christening start?
12. I'm sure it's 12 -
let me check.
All my nice clothes
are blackor grey.
12, noon.
Are you coming home to change?
No. I've got a suit here
I can wear.
I'm making myself a proper,
healthy brekkie, by the way.
Consisting of what?
All things nutritious
and good for my sperm.
You'd be proud of me.
One second, babe. Door.
Is it wrapped?
Yeah. Car's on its way.
Sound.
I'm back.
Who was it?
Post.
Is what wrapped?
Nice piece of fish.
Have you got time to meet me
for a coffee?
Yeah. Text me where
and I'll be there.
Wanker.
Morning. All set?
I am.
But I'm not feeling it.
I don't actually get any of it.
I know you put him up to it.
Come on.
It's Davy Crawford.
He's a follower, not a leader.
Nah, I'm feeling
I need to make a point.
No, it's too soon.
Right, he was cutting three kilo,
a good weight,
but where did it come from?
Keep going as planned.
I'll think on it.
And don't forget
about the christening.
How's that sound?
I wasn't really listening,
George.
You're up bright and early.
How's our day so far?
All good, mate. No surprises.
You at home?
Yeah. Home alone.
Our Freddie's out and about.
Gym bunny.
We are indeed looking
at a creature of habit.
CAT MEOWS
Circuits, followed by a run.
Any problems,
I'll give you a bell.
Sound.
Mate, that was some party
last night.
Almost like the bad old days.
Oh, tell me about it.
I thought I'd left all that
behind me.
Get yourself all cleaned up?
Yeah.
Did you wash your clothes?
Got rid.
How's the kid?
We got him patched up
on the private.
He'll live.
Anyway, you've got
about 45 minutes.
Freddie will message
when he's on the move.
Take it easy.
Deepbreath.
HORN TOOTS
Ta, mate.
You smell nice.
Decided you were worth it.
I've been thinking about you.
But you'd still rather sleep
at the flat?
What's going on?
Am I allowed to know?
We've got a rat in the house
and it's gotten heavy.
But I'm sorting it.
After this, Ronnie owes me.
After what?
I'll tell you what.
No more than three years' time,
I've decided
we can do whatever we want,
go wherever we want.
Three years.
Count them.
Yeah, I'm booked in
to see my mum today.
How do you think she'll be?
The same, I expect.
Is she still talking
to someone?
Yeah. I mean,
I can't help,
but I wish she'd talk to me
..and I was there.
Have you ever killed anyone?
What kind of question's that?
Have you?
No, I haven't.
But
Well, I could.
I would, if I had to.
You know, if they deserved it.
Is that a deal-breaker?
How many other couples have
conversations like this,
do you think?
Don't forget where
you're supposed to be later.
I won't.
And I don't mean the
christening.
Sh, sh, sh.
Hey, we're not far now.
Are you coming?
They're here.
Give me ten minutes.
You know, Jamie was asking
for the same ten minutes
of your time.
Elaine,
I've got stuff going on.
Hello!
Hiya!
Aww!
Where's my dad?
Aw, you look amazing!
Yeah?
Is it done?
About ten seconds from now.
Are you going to have a listen?
Ronnie?
Ronnie?
Abort. Stand down.
Got that?
Stop it!
Oh, there you are! Hiya, baby!
Hiya, Mum!
Are you OK?
Yeah, I'm good. How are you?
Yeah, I'm good, I'm good.
Have you got your cuppa?
Yeah, I have.
Have you got yours?
I have. And a biscuit.
Two biscuits.
You know I love a digestive.
Yeah, I know you do.
You can dunk a digestive.
Right, ready?
Yep.
Cheers.
Cheers!
Have you cut your hair?
I have. Do you like it?
Oh, let me see. Turn.
Oh, it's beautiful.
You look perfect.
How's your Michael?
Come on.
Got a smoke?
You're supposed to have
given up.
I have given up. Jesus
on a cross makes me nervous.
Ta.
So we're, erwe're
definitely good, yeah?
You, er, spoke to Ronnie?
Yeah, yeah. We're sound.
Um, but he wants nothing said,
all right? Not a word.
Yeah. OK. Understood, yeah.
Some people still aren't
in the know, so
OK. Got it, yeah.
Yeah?
Happy days.
Oh, here's Diana.
Hiya!
Hiya, girl!
Hiya.
All right, love?
Jamie, congratulations.
No Michael?
No, he's on his way.
Elaine, Rachel,
you're both looking lovely.
Mwah! Thanks.
Look at you, skinny bitch!
Half right.
Are there many babies
getting done?
No, just us. Special favour.
Er, from God. Diana?
Oh, I don't, thank you.
Neither should you.
Mum, we import cocaine.
You're on my case
for smoking a bift?
Cut out the idle talk.
See all of you inside.
First two rows are family, hon.
Got it.
Thanks a lot for this, Jay, yeah?
I'll see you in there.
Yeah. Sound. Thanks for this.
What was that about?
Ah, he's honoured, isn't he?
Feels like he's family.
What are your thoughts
on Diana?
Nice arse.
Oi!
Saying what I see.
Bet you Michael Kavanagh
can't believe his luck.
Oh, I do like the way they
hold hands. Have you noticed?
Not really.
The priest's asking,
are we doing this or not?
Bobby's right, come on,
let's wet the baby's head
so we can wet the baby's head!
What's the priest's name again?
I've forgotten.
Oh, just call him Father.
They like that.
You have asked for your child
to be baptised.
In doing so, you are accepting
the responsibility
of training him
in the practice of faith.
Do you, the parents,
fully understand
what you have undertaken?
BOTH: We do.
Godparents,
are you ready to help
the parents of this child
in their Christian duty?
We are.
So many godparents!
Lucky little lad.
Almighty and ever-living God,
you sent your only son down
to our world
ECHOING: ..to cast out
the power of Satan,
the spirit of evil,
to rescue man
from the kingdom of darkness.
If your faith makes you ready
to accept this responsibility,
renew now
the vow of your baptism.
Do you reject Satan?
I do.
And all his works?
I do.
And all his empty promises?
I do.
Do you believe in Jesus Christ,
his only son,
our Lord, who was born
of the Virgin Mary,
was crucified, died
and was buried,
rose from the dead
and is now seated
at the right hand
You made it!
I did.
Why are you sat
so far at the back?
So you could see me.
Then the 11 disciples went
away
You look perfect.
Yeah, I thought so.
When they saw him,
they worshipped him,
but some doubted him.
And Jesus came and spoke unto
them, saying,
"All power is given"
Oh, my God, look
at that baby's little face!
"..and teach all nations,
baptising them
"in the name of the Father."
Are you sureabout me?
A family with me?
Yes.
..even until
the end of the world.
Amen.
Amen.
Good boy!
Cheers, mate.
Thanks.
See yous in a bit.
What's happening, boys?
Yous all right?
All right?
So, is he here - the rat?
He's the one with the whiskers.
How's your mum?
Can you believe she's missing
my dad? What's all that about?
God knows.
Don't ever cut me out.
Don't ever not tell me.
What we've got materially
is very nice and I love it,
but what we have as you and me
is more.
I'm not like these other women,
cos I'm not your bird
or your Miss World.
I'm yours.
Understood.
Now, hold that
while I go for a piss.
Ugh! Funny.
Knock-knock.
Hiya.
I'm Cheryl.
I'm Davy Crawford's wife.
Oh, yeah, and godmother.
Mm. I've been meaning
to say hello a few times.
Can I just say,
I don't think I've ever seen
Michael looking so happy.
Oh, well Oh, thank you.
I think!
You must be doing something right.
Well, I just demand
his undivided attention,
and he complies.
Your dress is lovely,
by the way.
Give it an hour,
it'll be covered in red wine.
I drink too much.
Well, is that your opinion
or someone else's?
Oh, I know what I am, Diana.
How long have you
been together?
Like, 18 months, almost.
Oh, 18 months, wow.
Yeah.
Do you still believe him?
About what?
There's nothing good
about our men.
Get out while you can, hon.
He'll survive.
Thank you.
You don't mean that.
Yeah, you're right, I don't.
That's not to say I don't
appreciate the honesty.
I'm not flaky.
I'm tired.
Really tired.
And I'm you -
sooner than you think.
My advice to you
OK, my advice to you, Cheryl,
is to be careful
with that wine.
Your dress really is beautiful.
Yeah.
Call me.
Looks good on you.
Sorry about the late call,
Michael.
I decided you were right.
We need to know
what the fuck is going on.
What are you thinking?
Firstly, there's no way
Davy Crawford's brave enough
to turn rat all on his own.
Secondly,
we lose a truckload of gear,
yet there's still
no truck-sized hole
in the supply line.
Early days yet.
But there's stuff out there,
even if it's just a trickle.
Coming from where?
I don't know.
Other families? Outsiders?
I'm just thinking out loud
here, but
..could even be the gear
we thought we'd lost.
Who spoke to our contact
at the port?
Who gave us no other option
but to let it go?
Davy Crawford.
OK, we'll rack him.
100%.
But not here. Not in the UK.
I don't want the noise.
I don't want us
I don't want us looking troubled.
Then, where?
It's got to be soon.
Spain.
Go tomorrow. I'll announce it.
Me and Elaine's anniversary.
He's invited. We all are.
But no Cheryl.
I don't think
Davy will mind that.
What about the Amigos?
We can't just avoid them,
and we owe them a lot of money.
OK, we set up a meeting.
Yeah?
So, I'll see you fellas
on the dance floor.
Mmm
Oh, yeah,
I could get used to this.
Oh, could you, now?
Mm. Quite easily.
So, how come Ronnie's got
this huge villa
with, like, five bathrooms
and marble steps,
and all you've got
is a caravan in Talacre?
En suite caravan.
All the mod cons.
And don't diss Talacre -
that's my childhood.
SHE SLURPS
Mm!
Did you enjoy that?
Mm. Yeah, it's gorgeous.
It's my last day drinking.
Hopefully.
Mm. Do you know what else?
I'm getting just a little bit
turned on.
Just a little bit?
Mm-hm.
It seems I've developed
a little lump in my trunks.
Front or back?
Bobby.
Robert!
Mm?
Talk to me.
Make me laugh.
In a minute.
HE FARTS
You're hilarious.
You started it.
How did I get
to being this age?
Happens to everyone, love.
Enjoy it.
Cos in five years' time,
you'll be five years older.
Did you speak to Ronnie?
I speak to Ronnie all the time.
Did you speak to him about me?
About my ideas?
Not yet.
Why not?
Because we're in the middle
of a shitstorm, aren't we?
Speak to him, please.
Or I will.
How many businesses do I run?
Loads.
Shitloads.
It's not easy, and there's
better ways of doing things.
Davy,
can you just give us a hand
shifting some booze
from the garage?
All right,
give us a second, yeah?
I think I'm going in for a bit.
It's too hot for me out here,
Elaine. OK.
Whew!
Elaine!
Are we eating in or out tonight?
Out.
I booked that nice
Italian place at the marina.
Oh, lovely.
Perfecto!
I could stay here forever,
I really could.
Is that the plan?
One day.
What happened to Cheryl, Davy?
Oh
She couldn't make it, mate.
You know what she's like.
Probably for the best.
Bobby, if you ever leave me
for a girl,
I'll have your balls,
do you hear me?
Love you, too!
Scarlet billows
start to spread ♪
BABY CRIES
'Ey up.
You all right, Ron?
Thanks for this, Davy.
Yeah, it's no problem.
Good man.
Hey, do you want a cold one, Davy?
Oh, yes!
Oh, you know
I love a cold one, Michael.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm parched.
Tell you what,
I love this heat, only
Why's mine the slow one?!
Da-ra-ra-da-da! ♪
Come on!
All right.
Yep. That'll do me.
God, here we go.
Like a bunch of kids.
Can't take them anywhere.
I still don't get the point
of this game.
I just like whacking balls
and pretending they're Davy's head.
Right, we're next, Dad. Go on.
It's your go.
I know it's my go.
Hey, hurry up and miss, Ron!
You can't rush genius, pal.
Oh, that's fighting talk, that.
Hey, do you fancy a bet, Ronnie?
I won't take your money, son.
This is guaranteed,
like Sheffield fucking steel.
"No clogs on green, Mr Phelan."
Hurry up, Pops.
I'm getting soaked here. Hold on.
Just give me a bit of fucking space.
Oh, just hit it!
Thanks, love!
Can you believe that?!
All right, I'll finish it
off for us, Dad.
So, I've been mulling over ways
to improve our margins.
Margins are good, Ronnie.
I'm not saying they're not.
Just asking the question.
Can they be better?
Wahey!
It's not worth the risk.
We don't want to start cutting it.
Oh, no.
Maybe there's something else.
How about we have a conversation
with the Amigos?
Why, though?
Why change what works?
I'd like money enough
to relax a bit more.
Would you help me do that?
Be good for the both of us.
My clogs would fit you nicely.
If that's what you want. Yeah.
All right.
Let me think on it a bit more.
Let you know tonight.
GLASS CLINKS
OK, listen.
I am going to play
the indulgent nana
and propose a toast.
To another little prince
All right, Mum.
..in the Phelan family.
To Alfie.
To Alfie!
Mr Peter Thomas?
Michael Kavanagh?
Can you confirm
your date of birth?
13th of the tenth, '88.
And you know why you're here?
What you need still?
Yeah.
Daft question, I know,
but you'd be surprised.
Been given your paperwork
and sample jar?
Yeah.
Provide your sample here
and leave it in the hatch, along
with your signed forms, OK?
Remote control,
DVDs and Wi-Fi code
are all here if you need it.
You must not use any lubricant
as it may affect the sample.
Yeah, fine.
Marvellous.
Thanks.
Hello there.
Hey, babe. Guess where I am.
I'm hoping
you're at the clinic.
Not only am I at the clinic,
I'm inside Wank Central.
And you thought of me?
You know what I'm like.
Forever the romantic.
Every surface in here
is wipe-clean.
Nice.
And there's porn.
That being said, er
I thought you might
you know,
give me some assistance.
Assistance?
Some words of encouragement?
Seeing as we're in this together.
Right, give me a minute.
You still there?
I'm not going anywhere, babe.
Well, in that case,
seeing as we are in this
together
..what if I join you,
so to speak?
Are you serious?
I'm just undoing a few buttons
and pushing my hand
inside some
very sheer underwear.
You are very, very good.
How come
we've never done this before?
I don't know.
It's good, isn't it?
Yeah, it's really good.
This City is Ours
1st episode
Take it from me
Ukrainian Albarino?
Yeah.
The soil and climate of the area
match northern Spain, apparently.
Mm. Mm. Love it. It's a good story.
Yeah, we should take it
and we should push it.
Thanks.
It's me.
Not only have I got
a low sperm count,
but the fellas I'm firing
can't even swim.
I'm sorry.
I don't care.
There are other ways
of getting pregnant.
Diana, you can't do that.
It's me that's the problem.
Michael, it's not a problem.
Yeah, it is.
We want a family together,
so we solve it together.
We put our trust
in the science.
You'd do that?
Yeah, I WANT to do that.
I love you.
And I like saying it.
Mm. So say it again.
PHONE VIBRATES
I love you.
And I'm going to Spain
in about three hours.
What's happening in Spain?
Ronnie's looking
for a bigger payday, and
..and he's making noises
about stepping aside.
And you step up?
You blow me away,
do you know that?
I'll see you tomorrow.
Going en masse, are we?
Solidarity.
Davy.
All right, Michael?
Jamie? What are you doing here?
It's Take Your Lad To Work Day.
Banksey's meeting us there, so
Ooh-hoo!
Inside, Ronnie.
Just the three of them.
Right. Yeah.
Over to you, lad.
DANCE MUSIC PLAYS
Hang on.
What are we drinking here?
Where's it from again, Ricky?
I first tried it in Galicia.
It's normal there for the
person preparing the queimada
to whisper some words.
HE BLOWS HARD
It's an incantation to cast out
demons and bad spirits.
It sounds like bollocks.
Nah, Jay, it's true, you know.
I've seen it, yeah.
Am I allowed to spit it out?
A toast.
To friendship and business.
Friendship and business.
Oh!
What Ronnie is asking for
is more of the same,
but on better terms.
Same gear, better price
is what we want.
We need to hear only one voice.
We're saying the same thing.
One voice makes sense.
So, what can you do?
What is it you are proposing?
A change in price means that
something else has to change.
Ronnie wants an improvement.
If a lower price means buying
more product, then fine.
If it means us adjusting
the means of transport, fine.
Bear in mind
there are other suppliers,
it's a big world.
Jamie.
Go and take a piss.
There's a good lad.
Jamie.
Do you know what? I am suddenly
desperate for a piss.
Yes, he is Ronnie's son,
but why is he at this table?
He's learning.
Why is he learning?
Our business
is with you, Michael.
You think I'm doing
the right thing, Davy?
Honestly?
Of course, fucking honestly!
I don't know.
That little bit more risk,
for a truckload more profit,
so to speak, but
..you need that little bit
more luck, don't you?
What about your man at the
docks? What can he do for us?
Nah, Ron.
He's eyes-only.
He can tell me if the container
gets through customs,
but, nah, he can't change it.
So he's the best mate of
useless, then.
He can tell us
if we're going to be safe.
And he can keep us out
of a Cat A shithole.
Mm-hm.
We buy as soon as it clears
the border.
What if we buy earlier,
at sea?
We take on the risk
of the UK border ourselves.
A direct shipment to Liverpool
in two, three weeks' time.
Could you work up a price
based on that?
If you are sure
that is what you want.
That's what we want,
what Ronnie wants.
Look, it's gone straight
through. It's all good, yeah.
You sure you still want me
to go through with this?
OK. OK.
Oh, shit.
Fucking hell
Hello, Ronnie?
It's not looking good, pal.
It's not looking good at all.
Michael?
Eight. Eight very
healthy-looking eggs.
Oh! God, that's fantastic!
Fantastic.
So, Michael, your turn next.
Fingers crossed, as always.
Thank you.
DOOR OPENS
Eight.
Eight!
You OK?
Mm-hm.
We should get you home.
My man on site was saying
that the container was
..like, screened off
and it was taken apart.
Then they put it back together,
and then he sent it on its way.
They're saying
that there's a buzz.
Lots of, erm,
happy faces dockside.
Happy faces?
Yeah.
You know, um, backslapping
and
Yeah?
Yeah.
Then we leave it alone.
We've got to.
Christ.
It stays parked in the yard
and we don't go near it.
What else can we do? It's going
to be rammed with spyware,
and they'll be waiting for us
to collect.
What if they're not waiting
for us to collect?
What if they've found fuck-all?
If they opened it,
they found it.
No, theythey, they, um
they definitely opened it.
Fuck!
Ronnie?! Fuck!
It's gone.
First time we buy at source,
and we tank.
So what I'm thinking,
is it bad luck or is it a rat?
Heavy coincidence.
Then it's a rat,
killing our supply.
You know, if it gets out we've
got a hole in our supply lines,
we'll have every twat
trying to fill it.
Mancs, Geordies,
every fucking flavour of Mafia.
So who knew?
You, me, Davy Crawford,
Banksey, Jamie, Bobby.
All 100%, solid.
And the Amigos.
No chance.
You know, I think they're
trying to teach me a lesson.
They're purely business, Ronnie.
And they'll still want paying.
So it's one of us.
Find out if anyone is selling
as much as a wrap on our patch.
Yeah? Can you do that?
You want me to wade through the
shit on the streets?
Well, who else can I ask?
I won't forget it.
BIKE BELL DINGS
Get up here, now!
Get in that car!
Go on! In!
Go on!
I don't think yous know who
the fuck you're messing with.
Clowns on a fucking stick.
So, go on, then, soft lad.
Who are we messing with?
Whose lemo are you selling?
Fuck off. I'm not a grass.
I could punch you all night,
you know.
You've got one of them
fucking little faces!
Fucking listen to me.
You can keep your bits,
you can keep your phone,
and we can pretend
like this never happened.
But you are going to fucking
tell me who you're selling for.
Do you know who
YOU'RE fucking messing with?
I can't get my head around
that he's one of us.
It's greed. It's always greed,
and it's put a massive hole
in Ronnie's pension pot.
He's going to want him ended.
Here we go.
I just don't get it.
Davy fucking Crawford?!
You never know.
Might just be a book club.
Here we are.
It's veggie chilli, Melissa.
Oh, thank you.
And there's guacamole
and yoghurt.
No tortilla chips?
I make a nice chilli,
don't I, Jay?
She does, you know.
PHONE VIBRATES
Thanks.
No phones at the dinner table,
Ronnie.
We're not Americans.
We are not.
How come you asked Davy Crawford
to be a godparent?
I like him.
Youyou like him?
Shouldn't I?
Yeah.
What is it you like about him?
Don't know, he's a nice fella,
isn't he? He's harmless.
Is there a problem?
No. Good man.
Hiya.
No, you don't!
Get here!
Shut the fuck up! Now!
Don't you fucking move!
Jamie! No! Stop it!
Whothe fuckdo you think
you fucking are?!
Fucking get off me, Banksey!
He pulled a fucking knife
on me!
Don't be daft, you!
It's OK. Sh, sh, sh.
Are you OK?
What's he running in here -
a fucking nursery?
Hello there.
Morning, babe.
Did I wake you?
I was just dozing.
I never sleep properly
without you here.
Where are you?
At the flat.
Late night.
Are you OK?
DOOR BUZZER
What time's
the christening start?
12. I'm sure it's 12 -
let me check.
All my nice clothes
are blackor grey.
12, noon.
Are you coming home to change?
No. I've got a suit here
I can wear.
I'm making myself a proper,
healthy brekkie, by the way.
Consisting of what?
All things nutritious
and good for my sperm.
You'd be proud of me.
One second, babe. Door.
Is it wrapped?
Yeah. Car's on its way.
Sound.
I'm back.
Who was it?
Post.
Is what wrapped?
Nice piece of fish.
Have you got time to meet me
for a coffee?
Yeah. Text me where
and I'll be there.
Wanker.
Morning. All set?
I am.
But I'm not feeling it.
I don't actually get any of it.
I know you put him up to it.
Come on.
It's Davy Crawford.
He's a follower, not a leader.
Nah, I'm feeling
I need to make a point.
No, it's too soon.
Right, he was cutting three kilo,
a good weight,
but where did it come from?
Keep going as planned.
I'll think on it.
And don't forget
about the christening.
How's that sound?
I wasn't really listening,
George.
You're up bright and early.
How's our day so far?
All good, mate. No surprises.
You at home?
Yeah. Home alone.
Our Freddie's out and about.
Gym bunny.
We are indeed looking
at a creature of habit.
CAT MEOWS
Circuits, followed by a run.
Any problems,
I'll give you a bell.
Sound.
Mate, that was some party
last night.
Almost like the bad old days.
Oh, tell me about it.
I thought I'd left all that
behind me.
Get yourself all cleaned up?
Yeah.
Did you wash your clothes?
Got rid.
How's the kid?
We got him patched up
on the private.
He'll live.
Anyway, you've got
about 45 minutes.
Freddie will message
when he's on the move.
Take it easy.
Deepbreath.
HORN TOOTS
Ta, mate.
You smell nice.
Decided you were worth it.
I've been thinking about you.
But you'd still rather sleep
at the flat?
What's going on?
Am I allowed to know?
We've got a rat in the house
and it's gotten heavy.
But I'm sorting it.
After this, Ronnie owes me.
After what?
I'll tell you what.
No more than three years' time,
I've decided
we can do whatever we want,
go wherever we want.
Three years.
Count them.
Yeah, I'm booked in
to see my mum today.
How do you think she'll be?
The same, I expect.
Is she still talking
to someone?
Yeah. I mean,
I can't help,
but I wish she'd talk to me
..and I was there.
Have you ever killed anyone?
What kind of question's that?
Have you?
No, I haven't.
But
Well, I could.
I would, if I had to.
You know, if they deserved it.
Is that a deal-breaker?
How many other couples have
conversations like this,
do you think?
Don't forget where
you're supposed to be later.
I won't.
And I don't mean the
christening.
Sh, sh, sh.
Hey, we're not far now.
Are you coming?
They're here.
Give me ten minutes.
You know, Jamie was asking
for the same ten minutes
of your time.
Elaine,
I've got stuff going on.
Hello!
Hiya!
Aww!
Where's my dad?
Aw, you look amazing!
Yeah?
Is it done?
About ten seconds from now.
Are you going to have a listen?
Ronnie?
Ronnie?
Abort. Stand down.
Got that?
Stop it!
Oh, there you are! Hiya, baby!
Hiya, Mum!
Are you OK?
Yeah, I'm good. How are you?
Yeah, I'm good, I'm good.
Have you got your cuppa?
Yeah, I have.
Have you got yours?
I have. And a biscuit.
Two biscuits.
You know I love a digestive.
Yeah, I know you do.
You can dunk a digestive.
Right, ready?
Yep.
Cheers.
Cheers!
Have you cut your hair?
I have. Do you like it?
Oh, let me see. Turn.
Oh, it's beautiful.
You look perfect.
How's your Michael?
Come on.
Got a smoke?
You're supposed to have
given up.
I have given up. Jesus
on a cross makes me nervous.
Ta.
So we're, erwe're
definitely good, yeah?
You, er, spoke to Ronnie?
Yeah, yeah. We're sound.
Um, but he wants nothing said,
all right? Not a word.
Yeah. OK. Understood, yeah.
Some people still aren't
in the know, so
OK. Got it, yeah.
Yeah?
Happy days.
Oh, here's Diana.
Hiya!
Hiya, girl!
Hiya.
All right, love?
Jamie, congratulations.
No Michael?
No, he's on his way.
Elaine, Rachel,
you're both looking lovely.
Mwah! Thanks.
Look at you, skinny bitch!
Half right.
Are there many babies
getting done?
No, just us. Special favour.
Er, from God. Diana?
Oh, I don't, thank you.
Neither should you.
Mum, we import cocaine.
You're on my case
for smoking a bift?
Cut out the idle talk.
See all of you inside.
First two rows are family, hon.
Got it.
Thanks a lot for this, Jay, yeah?
I'll see you in there.
Yeah. Sound. Thanks for this.
What was that about?
Ah, he's honoured, isn't he?
Feels like he's family.
What are your thoughts
on Diana?
Nice arse.
Oi!
Saying what I see.
Bet you Michael Kavanagh
can't believe his luck.
Oh, I do like the way they
hold hands. Have you noticed?
Not really.
The priest's asking,
are we doing this or not?
Bobby's right, come on,
let's wet the baby's head
so we can wet the baby's head!
What's the priest's name again?
I've forgotten.
Oh, just call him Father.
They like that.
You have asked for your child
to be baptised.
In doing so, you are accepting
the responsibility
of training him
in the practice of faith.
Do you, the parents,
fully understand
what you have undertaken?
BOTH: We do.
Godparents,
are you ready to help
the parents of this child
in their Christian duty?
We are.
So many godparents!
Lucky little lad.
Almighty and ever-living God,
you sent your only son down
to our world
ECHOING: ..to cast out
the power of Satan,
the spirit of evil,
to rescue man
from the kingdom of darkness.
If your faith makes you ready
to accept this responsibility,
renew now
the vow of your baptism.
Do you reject Satan?
I do.
And all his works?
I do.
And all his empty promises?
I do.
Do you believe in Jesus Christ,
his only son,
our Lord, who was born
of the Virgin Mary,
was crucified, died
and was buried,
rose from the dead
and is now seated
at the right hand
You made it!
I did.
Why are you sat
so far at the back?
So you could see me.
Then the 11 disciples went
away
You look perfect.
Yeah, I thought so.
When they saw him,
they worshipped him,
but some doubted him.
And Jesus came and spoke unto
them, saying,
"All power is given"
Oh, my God, look
at that baby's little face!
"..and teach all nations,
baptising them
"in the name of the Father."
Are you sureabout me?
A family with me?
Yes.
..even until
the end of the world.
Amen.
Amen.
Good boy!
Cheers, mate.
Thanks.
See yous in a bit.
What's happening, boys?
Yous all right?
All right?
So, is he here - the rat?
He's the one with the whiskers.
How's your mum?
Can you believe she's missing
my dad? What's all that about?
God knows.
Don't ever cut me out.
Don't ever not tell me.
What we've got materially
is very nice and I love it,
but what we have as you and me
is more.
I'm not like these other women,
cos I'm not your bird
or your Miss World.
I'm yours.
Understood.
Now, hold that
while I go for a piss.
Ugh! Funny.
Knock-knock.
Hiya.
I'm Cheryl.
I'm Davy Crawford's wife.
Oh, yeah, and godmother.
Mm. I've been meaning
to say hello a few times.
Can I just say,
I don't think I've ever seen
Michael looking so happy.
Oh, well Oh, thank you.
I think!
You must be doing something right.
Well, I just demand
his undivided attention,
and he complies.
Your dress is lovely,
by the way.
Give it an hour,
it'll be covered in red wine.
I drink too much.
Well, is that your opinion
or someone else's?
Oh, I know what I am, Diana.
How long have you
been together?
Like, 18 months, almost.
Oh, 18 months, wow.
Yeah.
Do you still believe him?
About what?
There's nothing good
about our men.
Get out while you can, hon.
He'll survive.
Thank you.
You don't mean that.
Yeah, you're right, I don't.
That's not to say I don't
appreciate the honesty.
I'm not flaky.
I'm tired.
Really tired.
And I'm you -
sooner than you think.
My advice to you
OK, my advice to you, Cheryl,
is to be careful
with that wine.
Your dress really is beautiful.
Yeah.
Call me.
Looks good on you.
Sorry about the late call,
Michael.
I decided you were right.
We need to know
what the fuck is going on.
What are you thinking?
Firstly, there's no way
Davy Crawford's brave enough
to turn rat all on his own.
Secondly,
we lose a truckload of gear,
yet there's still
no truck-sized hole
in the supply line.
Early days yet.
But there's stuff out there,
even if it's just a trickle.
Coming from where?
I don't know.
Other families? Outsiders?
I'm just thinking out loud
here, but
..could even be the gear
we thought we'd lost.
Who spoke to our contact
at the port?
Who gave us no other option
but to let it go?
Davy Crawford.
OK, we'll rack him.
100%.
But not here. Not in the UK.
I don't want the noise.
I don't want us
I don't want us looking troubled.
Then, where?
It's got to be soon.
Spain.
Go tomorrow. I'll announce it.
Me and Elaine's anniversary.
He's invited. We all are.
But no Cheryl.
I don't think
Davy will mind that.
What about the Amigos?
We can't just avoid them,
and we owe them a lot of money.
OK, we set up a meeting.
Yeah?
So, I'll see you fellas
on the dance floor.
Mmm
Oh, yeah,
I could get used to this.
Oh, could you, now?
Mm. Quite easily.
So, how come Ronnie's got
this huge villa
with, like, five bathrooms
and marble steps,
and all you've got
is a caravan in Talacre?
En suite caravan.
All the mod cons.
And don't diss Talacre -
that's my childhood.
SHE SLURPS
Mm!
Did you enjoy that?
Mm. Yeah, it's gorgeous.
It's my last day drinking.
Hopefully.
Mm. Do you know what else?
I'm getting just a little bit
turned on.
Just a little bit?
Mm-hm.
It seems I've developed
a little lump in my trunks.
Front or back?
Bobby.
Robert!
Mm?
Talk to me.
Make me laugh.
In a minute.
HE FARTS
You're hilarious.
You started it.
How did I get
to being this age?
Happens to everyone, love.
Enjoy it.
Cos in five years' time,
you'll be five years older.
Did you speak to Ronnie?
I speak to Ronnie all the time.
Did you speak to him about me?
About my ideas?
Not yet.
Why not?
Because we're in the middle
of a shitstorm, aren't we?
Speak to him, please.
Or I will.
How many businesses do I run?
Loads.
Shitloads.
It's not easy, and there's
better ways of doing things.
Davy,
can you just give us a hand
shifting some booze
from the garage?
All right,
give us a second, yeah?
I think I'm going in for a bit.
It's too hot for me out here,
Elaine. OK.
Whew!
Elaine!
Are we eating in or out tonight?
Out.
I booked that nice
Italian place at the marina.
Oh, lovely.
Perfecto!
I could stay here forever,
I really could.
Is that the plan?
One day.
What happened to Cheryl, Davy?
Oh
She couldn't make it, mate.
You know what she's like.
Probably for the best.
Bobby, if you ever leave me
for a girl,
I'll have your balls,
do you hear me?
Love you, too!
Scarlet billows

BABY CRIES
'Ey up.
You all right, Ron?
Thanks for this, Davy.
Yeah, it's no problem.
Good man.
Hey, do you want a cold one, Davy?
Oh, yes!
Oh, you know
I love a cold one, Michael.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm parched.
Tell you what,
I love this heat, only
