Dangerous Lady (1995) s01e03 Episode Script
Episode 3
Jumpin' Jaysus, what did you wake me for, woman ? He's 21, Mickey.
We can't keep him on elastic.
He can't even tie his laces ! He was miles off the Greek patch ! You talk to the tart he was with ? All she remembers is their fists.
I say, smack the bastards ! You say, "I made a mistake.
" Go on.
Say it.
I made a mistake.
Anyone talking ? No.
If you need cash, let me know.
I don't keep it in a box.
When did the Ryans pay ransoms ? Was this her idea ? Roy ! Stay out of it ! We want him back in one piece, don't we ? Don't we ? Right.
I've tipped off the girls.
Is one of them hidin' Benny up her knickers (?) They know every tom in London.
Good thinking.
All right, Benny.
It's all right.
Come on.
That's a good Benny.
Oh, nice watch, Benny.
Did you get it for Christmas ? Aargh ! Michael ! Afou steloume tou Ryan.
Why the Greeks ? What are they after ? Why start trouble now ? Who else knew he was going out ? The whole club.
You know Benny.
You reckon it was set up ? We never let him go to the toilet on his own.
Everyone knows that.
Has anyone tipped off Johnson at Soho Central ? Geoff ? The police should help.
We pay 'em enough.
Sorry, I was doing other things.
What ? Good book to finish, eh ? Crossword to solve ? Maybe another haircut ? Has she gotta tell you how to do your job ? Anyone else got any ideas she didn't think of yesterday ? Nah.
Who's gonna tell Ma ? No-one.
We're cut up and you go and make us look like idiots.
You don't need help from me to look like an idiot.
Are you all right ? Yeah.
Look, .
.
why don't you go home ? Turn this into food in the fridge.
Where'd you get that ? It's Benny's.
He He gave it to me.
Come on.
Let's get out of here.
I'm waiting for my orders.
All I want is to get Benny back.
Oh I thought you were after promotion.
If I didn't know better, .
.
I'd think you cared more for your hurt ego than for Benny.
You wanna go ten rounds with me ? Wait till we get him back.
Get some blokes out asking questions Jawohl, little sister.
Have you checked the morgues ? We've not reached that stage.
I don't need protecting.
So tell me.
Have you checked the morgues ? There's nothing yet.
Is there anything on the Greeks ? Stavros isn't in charge any more since you lot took his legs off.
His cousin's flown in from Cyprus - Dopolis, a ruthless bastard.
Buying properties in the East End.
Find out more about that.
I'll get my lads onto it.
Except one.
Oh, yes.
Terry.
Where does all that boring paperwork come from (?) He has staying power, I'll give him that.
You work for me in the club or the pimp out here.
Not both.
He won't leave me alone, Miss Ryan.
Go down the clinic to get checked.
I've worked hard to give this club class.
I don't want you looking like crap.
He says he'll hurt my kid.
That'll keep him off your back this weekend.
Please, go home.
NOISE Who was it ? I don't know.
Problems ? Which old slag was it last night ? Give it a rest, Janine.
You're the one that needs to rest it.
Leave it ! It's knackered.
Get a new one.
We've got one in the store in the club, haven't we ? Get one with a wrapper on it.
I don't want her outside any more.
It's too cold.
She's fine.
It gives you a break.
Just like Roy and his tarts ? If you really want to help me, stop him from seeing 'em.
Kick him out of the business.
Send him home.
Roy is never gonna change, Janine.
Janine Don't wrap her in cotton wool.
I'll wrap her in barbed wire if it stops her growing up like you ! This is lovely, Mum.
I can't eat.
DOOR OPENS You're back too early, Benjamin.
Dinner's only half ruined.
Hello, Ma.
Don't worry.
I won't stay long.
Oh, sorry (!) Am I in the way ? Yeah.
For about two and a half years.
You made him hit me once.
Now make him into a decent husband ! Take your pudding and eat it outside CRIES The Greeks want to meet tonight, 9pm, on the docks.
I want backup.
Best men you can get, all tooled up.
Geoff, talk to Johnson.
I don't want coppers there.
We'll scare the shit out of 'em.
We'll have Benny back tomorrow.
Michael, we should talk ! What's this ? A party ? I want Benny back tonight.
You think that's possible ? It's possible.
You've just flown in from Bubbleland, haven't you ? Maybe you don't understand what a mistake you're making.
Let me put you straight.
Mr Dopolis We're willing to negotiate.
Tell the stupid tart to shut it.
You watch your mouth ! I didn't know you got so excited over women, Mister Ryan.
Now, you talk, while you've still got a tongue.
I didn't come to negotiate.
I don't care about your bookies or your rackets.
I came to hear you accept my terms.
And I ain't paying you a penny.
What do you want ? This warehouse and the five others like it.
They're only sheds and garages to you.
A cheap price to pay for the life of your brother.
How do we know you've got Benny ? I'll be glad to get shot of him.
His whining put me right off me food He cries a lot, don't he ? Tears streaming down his face, .
.
especially when I took that off him.
Leave me alone.
No No Listen to me, you oily little shit.
I don't do deals.
You ask your cousin.
All right.
Return my brother and get the first plane home.
Cos if I see you again, .
.
I'll kill ya.
All of ya.
Now get out ! Nice one.
They'll give him back.
What if they don't ? You said you wouldn't lose your temper.
You can't talk to these people.
You've just got to show 'em.
It's all about front.
SOMEONE SHOUTS IN GREEK Yaarrgghhh ! (SOBS) They'd have killed him, whatever we did.
The priest's upstairs.
Confess to him.
Where does it all end, Mickey ? When I wipe these Greek bastards out No-one will touch this family again.
Fight and we put everything at risk.
Did you see him ? They cut him up like a pig ! (AGONISED WAIL) You don't have to do it on your own any more.
I am with you, Mickey.
You and me, Princess, eh ? Is he right, Geoff ? When you was born, this place was full of cockroaches.
Michael dealt with that.
He wiped them out.
That's Michael's way.
I want you to show me how Benny screamed when you took his watch off.
Aaarrgh ! Your old in-laws are paying a visit.
What's she doing here ? Buying someone lunch, I expect.
If you'd like to wait in here I'm sorry about your brother.
I'm only here to make a statement.
Take care of yourself.
I'm a big, grown-up girl now, thanks to you.
Maura, I'm really sorry.
Is that it ? You're sorry ? Would you feel any better if I said I've never stopped thinking of you ? You must have a boring life.
Do you know what your family are doing to you ? My family wanted me when you decided you didn't ! Remind me how the Ryans got where they got.
My family stick together.
We protect each other.
Your family deal in threats, intimidation, violence, murder.
Why are you here ? You trade in blood.
No doubt you have a few spots on your sleeve.
It'll get under your fingernails.
Your hands will be dripping in it, and the horrible thing is .
.
you'll get used to it.
You're the only mistake I ever made.
Benny was stabbed 48 times.
The first one probably killed him.
47 were hate.
When that gets you, it chews you up.
I came here .
.
because I wanted to see if the beautiful thing I knew was alive in there somewhere.
Is she ? Get out, Patterson, or I'll have you for harassing a witness.
Is she ? I'm sorry about your brother.
There's a party down the Sombrero tomorrow.
We're not going.
Alan said to remind you.
We're not going.
But it's his and Max's anniversary.
Listen to you, you're like a woman.
You embarrass me.
You smoke fags like a woman.
You show me up.
Are you going ? Eh ? Are you going ? You deaf ? I said no.
I am.
Johnny Johnny, I'm You've nothing to blame yourself for Who said I had ? I know you.
You were like a father to Benny.
Christ knows, he needed one, silly bugger.
Remember when you let him drive the Aston ? He almost crashed it, but he was so proud to be driving your car.
And remember the dollar you gave him ? He held that till the silver rubbed off.
I've kept pretty shtum in front of Johnny.
I don't know what you've told him.
What do you mean ? I trust him.
But you know how he can gab.
We don't want it broadcast that we're looking for the grass who set Benny up.
We don't want him doing a runner.
The grass, I mean.
What's he do all day with himself ? I don't know.
You coming ? No, I'm coming later with Maura.
Can I stand with you a while, Mum ? I want to be alone with my son.
You can't touch him any more.
Maura's here, too.
I can smell the scent.
Appropriate for a whorehouse not a church.
Time was she would have known that.
God took Benny because he was still innocent, .
.
before this family could condemn him to hell.
You're part of this family, Mum.
People say that you two sleep together.
Come on, Mum, please.
I know that can't be true .
.
cos you're as queer as a fish and she's a neuter.
Who made me that way, Mum ? Look Benny's dead, for God's sake.
Don't mention God, you filthy, putrid thing ! Who held me down while they ripped my baby out ? Mind your mouth in God's house.
God saw you do it ! You turned us into what we are.
The rosary broke in my hand when you were born.
You brought a curse on this family.
The witch has come up with a curse.
Mickey, let's leave.
Yes, do that.
And leave my house, .
.
like the rats and the cockroaches.
Michael got rid of them.
You didn't care if they crawled over you while you were at it ! Get out of this church ! I should never have stopped him beating you.
You disgust me.
Do I ? I gave myself to a stinking old man every day to feed my family.
That disgusts you ? Well, you knew ! You let it happen - my mother.
You should have looked after me.
How do you think that makes me feel ? Get out of my life.
Let me know me when I can come back to my home, the place where I learnt what life was about.
You let me know.
You should be in this box, Michael Ryan ! Do you want to stay with me ? I've phoned Maggie.
I'll go stay there for a bit.
SWITCH CLICKS UP AND DOWN He's better with pipes than electrics.
It's the only spare bed we've got.
Dennis is doing it.
You can kip on the sofa if you want.
Why didn't you tell me, you fat cow ? When's it due ? November.
Oh, Maurs.
We weren't going to come to the funeral, but if you'd like me to Um is this a pair of knickers, .
.
or an elastic band with fluff stuck to it ? I got them on Bond Street.
I can get you some.
They won't look as good in jumbo sizes.
You're not huge.
I'm an ugly duckling who grew into a plain duck, or hadn't you noticed ? Sorry I haven't seen much of you.
Mates don't have to see each other all the time.
I don't want to get in your way.
Stay as long as you like, at least till November.
You're happy, aren't you, Maggie ? Maybe it'll rub off.
Just give your mum a bit of time, eh ? Yeah.
Oi ! Danny ! Go on in ! Now, you listen to the lady.
You're going to leave her alone, Danny.
Am I ? Was that a yes ? Cos if you don't, you won't be making any more babies, mate.
Thanks.
Miss Ryan ? I've been waiting for you.
I wish to discuss business.
I didn't want to interrupt while you had your hands full.
Excuse me.
William Boyd-Templeton.
What do you want ? I'm interested in some property that you own.
The young lady did say you were out at a funeral.
This is obviously not a good time.
No, it's not.
Will you let me leave my card ? My home address is on there.
Feel free to call me at your leisure.
I apologise for intruding on your grief.
What properties ? Nothing substantial.
Just some warehouses down on the docks.
I'm having a small party next Friday If you want to talk about the property, perhaps you'd like to come.
You can call me.
My condolences again.
I'm only halfway .
.
to paradise So near, .
.
yet so far away I long for your lips .
.
to kiss my lips Scotch.
I was keeping out of the way.
I thought you were sick of me.
I don't expect you to say anything nice to me.
I'm lucky if you say anything at all I'm sorry.
Things haven't been right since Benny.
You miss him, too, don't you ? Let's go home.
You were never coming back, were you ? I thought we were finished.
No I think you just didn't want to see me again.
And why wouldn't I want to see you again ? (I don't know.
) You tell me.
Look You've hardly spoken to me.
I'm just here.
I feel like the radio or the television.
I mean .
.
you turn me on, then you turn me off.
I turn you on, do I ? You know you do.
There's too many things about you I don't know, Johnny.
I love you, Michael.
Look at you, straight out of Woman's Own.
Look at that.
It's blown as soon as I put it in.
Asked for a 5-amp and got one for a kettle.
'Ere, you tried the shower ? PHONE RINGS Heats up in no time and has three different settings.
Hello ? (Maura) (Maura) "Mickey ? Is that you ?" "Mickey, what's wrong ?" "Mickey.
" "Talk to me, where are ya ?" "Mickey.
" "Mickey, please.
Where are ya ?" "Mickey !" "Mickey !" Help me, Mickey, please.
Grab his feet, Mickey.
Mickey, help me ! Mickey, don't look at him.
Come on, come on, just lift him.
Mickey ! Oh, God.
I knew you'd come.
Are you all right ? I don't want to get used to it, Terry.
This bloody life.
I don't recognise myself in the mirror.
Maura, we can't go back.
I can change my life, .
.
my family.
I want to stop the wounds bleeding, I want to stop the blood.
Is this some Catholic guilt thing ? The night you dumped me, .
.
I was pregnant.
My mum took me to a place and we killed it.
I got all messed up inside.
I nearly died.
You must have hated me.
It was the only thing that kept me alive.
I left you because I wouldn't spy on your family.
Christ, what have I done to you ? You were the only one who knew what I was really like, .
.
who really looked.
I need your help.
I want to believe that I can change my life.
I want to know if that girl is still in here.
And, if she is, .
.
can you love her again ? I've never stopped.
THE SHIRELLES: "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow ?" All right for drinks, are we ? Another bottle of whisky ! What you lookin' at ? Cheers ! Oi, fix the light.
PIANO: "Day And Night" Well, you came.
I'm so pleased.
Would you have called again if I hadn't ? No, of course not.
You mentioned business ? Which bore would you like to meet first, then ? I know just the one.
Stay there.
What's your name ? Excuse me, please ? Willie always lays on good company, but you're something else.
Get your friggin' hands off me before I get you thrown out.
Remember why you're being paid.
Willie doesn't like his guests disappointed.
Excuse me.
Miss Ryan ! Sorry, I'm the type you can't buy.
I never said you were.
If you need entertainment, .
.
I can provide better girls than the ones up there.
Miss Ryan, there's some silly misunderstanding.
You've got that right, mate.
How much do you want for the warehouses ? Write your own cheque.
Just tell me what you want.
I want to be taken seriously.
And I want to know why you want them Call me tomorrow if you're still interested.
This is all yours, is it ? Yes.
Have you ever met your neighbours ? No.
You have now.
I own the rest of all this, the whole street.
You're the second person to want these warehouses.
I'm a property developer.
You're the old lady who won't move.
Well, we own others.
I know.
They interest me, too.
Do you know a man called Dopolis ? No.
How much ? One of my brothers was killed because of these warehouses.
I have an emotional attachment to them.
My family doesn't need your money.
I'll tell you what I'm looking for.
New business opportunities.
Legitimate.
What would you say to a partnership ? Teach me.
Show me how it all works.
That's my price.
There are other people involved.
I'll have to consult.
Consult.
Has this Boyd-Templeton got back to you ? No, not yet.
He will.
Will Michael'll buy this ? Michael can't take care of this family any more.
He's been unhappy since Johnny left.
He has lost it, Geoff.
You can see that.
He's boozing, he's sniffing dope.
Look, I've seen it before.
He killed Johnny ! He killed Johnny.
No Maybe he told you that because - I helped him get rid of the body.
Does anyone else know ? No.
No-one.
Now do you see why things have got to change ? We've nothing to spend our cash on.
I have ! We live off intimidation and trust.
We need to invest in something legitimate.
Who wants to pay taxes ? You should, for your kid's sake.
We sell off the East End rackets.
Geoff's been on to the Gilroys.
I bet.
Monty's dog's out tonight.
The one Mickey lost a score on ! Shut up and listen, you idiot ! It never used to be like this.
I used to have seven brothers.
Now it's five.
How many next week ? Who's counting ? You should be ! You might realise how quick your turn would come.
We saw off the Greeks.
And what did it cost us ? Does anyone remember Benny ? Does anyone miss him ? The gutter always stinks.
It doesn't matter how much Chanel you pour down the drains.
Isn't that right, Mickey ? Anything you say, Princess.
SHARMAN WAT
We can't keep him on elastic.
He can't even tie his laces ! He was miles off the Greek patch ! You talk to the tart he was with ? All she remembers is their fists.
I say, smack the bastards ! You say, "I made a mistake.
" Go on.
Say it.
I made a mistake.
Anyone talking ? No.
If you need cash, let me know.
I don't keep it in a box.
When did the Ryans pay ransoms ? Was this her idea ? Roy ! Stay out of it ! We want him back in one piece, don't we ? Don't we ? Right.
I've tipped off the girls.
Is one of them hidin' Benny up her knickers (?) They know every tom in London.

Mickey, let's leave.
Yes, do that.
And leave my house, .
.
like the rats and the cockroaches.
Michael got rid of them.
You didn't care if they crawled over you while you were at it ! Get out of this church ! I should never have stopped him beating you.
You disgust me.
Do I ? I gave myself to a stinking old man every day to feed my family.
That disgusts you ? Well, you knew ! You let it happen - my mother.
You should have looked after me.
How do you think that makes me feel ? Get out of my life.
Let me know me when I can come back to my home, the place where I learnt what life was about.
You let me know.
You should be in this box, Michael Ryan ! Do you want to stay with me ? I've phoned Maggie.
I'll go stay there for a bit.
SWITCH CLICKS UP AND DOWN He's better with pipes than electrics.
It's the only spare bed we've got.
Dennis is doing it.
You can kip on the sofa if you want.
Why didn't you tell me, you fat cow ? When's it due ? November.
Oh, Maurs.
We weren't going to come to the funeral, but if you'd like me to Um is this a pair of knickers, .
.
or an elastic band with fluff stuck to it ? I got them on Bond Street.
I can get you some.
They won't look as good in jumbo sizes.
You're not huge.
I'm an ugly duckling who grew into a plain duck, or hadn't you noticed ? Sorry I haven't seen much of you.
Mates don't have to see each other all the time.
I don't want to get in your way.
Stay as long as you like, at least till November.
You're happy, aren't you, Maggie ? Maybe it'll rub off.
Just give your mum a bit of time, eh ? Yeah.
Oi ! Danny ! Go on in ! Now, you listen to the lady.
You're going to leave her alone, Danny.
Am I ? Was that a yes ? Cos if you don't, you won't be making any more babies, mate.
Thanks.
Miss Ryan ? I've been waiting for you.
I wish to discuss business.
I didn't want to interrupt while you had your hands full.
Excuse me.
William Boyd-Templeton.
What do you want ? I'm interested in some property that you own.
The young lady did say you were out at a funeral.
This is obviously not a good time.
No, it's not.
Will you let me leave my card ? My home address is on there.
Feel free to call me at your leisure.
I apologise for intruding on your grief.
What properties ? Nothing substantial.
Just some warehouses down on the docks.
I'm having a small party next Friday If you want to talk about the property, perhaps you'd like to come.
You can call me.
My condolences again.
I'm only halfway .
.
to paradise So near, .
.
yet so far away I long for your lips .
.
to kiss my lips Scotch.
I was keeping out of the way.
I thought you were sick of me.
I don't expect you to say anything nice to me.
I'm lucky if you say anything at all I'm sorry.
Things haven't been right since Benny.
You miss him, too, don't you ? Let's go home.
You were never coming back, were you ? I thought we were finished.
No I think you just didn't want to see me again.
And why wouldn't I want to see you again ? (I don't know.
) You tell me.
Look You've hardly spoken to me.
I'm just here.
I feel like the radio or the television.
I mean .
.
you turn me on, then you turn me off.
I turn you on, do I ? You know you do.
There's too many things about you I don't know, Johnny.
I love you, Michael.
Look at you, straight out of Woman's Own.
Look at that.
It's blown as soon as I put it in.
Asked for a 5-amp and got one for a kettle.
'Ere, you tried the shower ? PHONE RINGS Heats up in no time and has three different settings.
Hello ? (Maura) (Maura) "Mickey ? Is that you ?" "Mickey, what's wrong ?" "Mickey.
" "Talk to me, where are ya ?" "Mickey.
" "Mickey, please.
Where are ya ?" "Mickey !" "Mickey !" Help me, Mickey, please.
Grab his feet, Mickey.
Mickey, help me ! Mickey, don't look at him.
Come on, come on, just lift him.
Mickey ! Oh, God.
I knew you'd come.
Are you all right ? I don't want to get used to it, Terry.
This bloody life.
I don't recognise myself in the mirror.
Maura, we can't go back.
I can change my life, .
.
my family.
I want to stop the wounds bleeding, I want to stop the blood.
Is this some Catholic guilt thing ? The night you dumped me, .
.
I was pregnant.
My mum took me to a place and we killed it.
I got all messed up inside.
I nearly died.
You must have hated me.
It was the only thing that kept me alive.
I left you because I wouldn't spy on your family.
Christ, what have I done to you ? You were the only one who knew what I was really like, .
.
who really looked.
I need your help.
I want to believe that I can change my life.
I want to know if that girl is still in here.
And, if she is, .
.
can you love her again ? I've never stopped.
THE SHIRELLES: "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow ?" All right for drinks, are we ? Another bottle of whisky ! What you lookin' at ? Cheers ! Oi, fix the light.
PIANO: "Day And Night" Well, you came.
I'm so pleased.
Would you have called again if I hadn't ? No, of course not.
You mentioned business ? Which bore would you like to meet first, then ? I know just the one.
Stay there.
What's your name ? Excuse me, please ? Willie always lays on good company, but you're something else.
Get your friggin' hands off me before I get you thrown out.
Remember why you're being paid.
Willie doesn't like his guests disappointed.
Excuse me.
Miss Ryan ! Sorry, I'm the type you can't buy.
I never said you were.
If you need entertainment, .
.
I can provide better girls than the ones up there.
Miss Ryan, there's some silly misunderstanding.
You've got that right, mate.
How much do you want for the warehouses ? Write your own cheque.
Just tell me what you want.
I want to be taken seriously.
And I want to know why you want them Call me tomorrow if you're still interested.
This is all yours, is it ? Yes.
Have you ever met your neighbours ? No.
You have now.
I own the rest of all this, the whole street.
You're the second person to want these warehouses.
I'm a property developer.
You're the old lady who won't move.
Well, we own others.
I know.
They interest me, too.
Do you know a man called Dopolis ? No.
How much ? One of my brothers was killed because of these warehouses.
I have an emotional attachment to them.
My family doesn't need your money.
I'll tell you what I'm looking for.
New business opportunities.
Legitimate.
What would you say to a partnership ? Teach me.
Show me how it all works.
That's my price.
There are other people involved.
I'll have to consult.
Consult.
Has this Boyd-Templeton got back to you ? No, not yet.
He will.
Will Michael'll buy this ? Michael can't take care of this family any more.
He's been unhappy since Johnny left.
He has lost it, Geoff.
You can see that.
He's boozing, he's sniffing dope.
Look, I've seen it before.
He killed Johnny ! He killed Johnny.
No Maybe he told you that because - I helped him get rid of the body.
Does anyone else know ? No.
No-one.
Now do you see why things have got to change ? We've nothing to spend our cash on.
I have ! We live off intimidation and trust.
We need to invest in something legitimate.
Who wants to pay taxes ? You should, for your kid's sake.
We sell off the East End rackets.
Geoff's been on to the Gilroys.
I bet.
Monty's dog's out tonight.
The one Mickey lost a score on ! Shut up and listen, you idiot ! It never used to be like this.
I used to have seven brothers.
Now it's five.
How many next week ? Who's counting ? You should be ! You might realise how quick your turn would come.
We saw off the Greeks.
And what did it cost us ? Does anyone remember Benny ? Does anyone miss him ? The gutter always stinks.
It doesn't matter how much Chanel you pour down the drains.
Isn't that right, Mickey ? Anything you say, Princess.
