Jungle (2022) s01e03 Episode Script
Go. Going. Gone.
1
[NARRATOR] How did it get to this?
That's the question we often ask
ourselves after things
have become so bad,
so fucked up that the only
solution, like, the only cure,
seems to be simply
to run away somewhere,
start again from scratch,
just leave everything behind.
See, but the truth is often times
it isn't just one definitive action
or choice that brings us to
disaster in the first place.
Nah.
Nah, see, it's more
like a series of events,
like, bad choices, poor decisions even,
that end up leading
us deeper and deeper,
further and further down
the rabbit hole we go.
Going gone.
[FOREBODING TRAP MUSIC]
Have you even slept?
Nah, not really, maybe,
like, half an hour or summin'.
Where are we?
Surreyston.
- [DISTANT SIRENS]
- [GOGO SIGHS]
I can't believe things
have gotten this bad.
I don't know what to do.
Look, I'm just trying to see this
as a new start for us, you know?
I just want to turn this into
summin' positive, we have to.
'Cause we can't stay here
anymore, you understand?
Well, what about my mum?
My brother, my sisters?
I I don't get to see them?
Like, they won't even be
there when our baby's born.
[SIGHS]
Was it all worth it?
All of this?
Was it all worth it, Gogo?
Look, babe
I don't even know what to say.
Look, I know I did it again.
Yeah, I fucked up.
Yeah, I fucked up again.
Like, I know, I get it.
And look, I know I haven't
been the ideal man or
or perfect boyfriend
either for you, like
Look, you blatantly
deserve better, all right?
That much is obvious.
[SCOFFS] I mean, look at me.
I'm a fuck-up.
You ain't gotta say nuttin', it's true.
I know it, you know it.
Shit, man, your whole
fucking family knows it, like.
But I'm trying, you know?
Look, I'm really trying.
I'm trying to look at this
as a new start for us, Jess.
Like, no more scheming, no
more stealing, no more nuffin'!
Look, I'm not trying to make
no more decisions for Gogo.
No more, Jess!
Yeah, I'm trying to make
decisions for Hugo now, as a man!
Listen, babe, I just need
you to trust me on this.
Yeah? I just need you
to do me this one favor.
OK, I can't do this without you.
I need you with me on this, please.
It's me and you side by side, yeah?
We're gonna make it
through this, I promise.
OK, you and me.
Shit! Oh, my necklace!
- Shit, shit, shit!
- [HORN HONKS]
Babe, I need to find it! I-I
can't I've just lost it
- Listen, listen, listen, listen. Look, I gotta go.
- It's been in my family for decades.
The last time I had it was at the flat.
Look, listen, babe, listen.
My Uber's here, yeah?
I'm not gonna be long, OK?
I just need to grab that
passport for us, yeah?
I need to find it.
We'll find it as soon as we
get back, I promise, I promise.
Babe, I need to find it.
Please don't be long, OK?
It's important, yeah?
I'll be as fast as I can, yeah?
All right, I love you.
I love you too.
It's important.
[WHISTLING]
[KNOCKING]
Hey, we're closed.

- What, even for me?
[SOMBER MUSIC]
[LAUGHS]
Yo!
Gogo!
The prince has returned!
[SCOFFS] If I'm the prince,
then who's the king, fam?
True.
It's been a long time, boy.
Yeah, man, it's been a minute.
You all right?
Yeah, man, I'm good.
Surviving.
Surviving?
You just asked me for a

You know what I'm saying,

[AP] All right, cool, cool. Follow me.
I am gonna miss you, boy.
[GOGO] Yeah, same here, man.
Take a seat, bro.
All right, let me tell you a story.
Well, it's not so much a
story, as like real life.
I was watching this documentary
a little while ago, like.
It was about these hunters
in the Kalahari Desert.
And how they hunted these monkeys, well,
they're not monkeys,
they're baboons, yeah?
So, what they do is they carve a
hole in the tree, 'bout this big,
and stick melon seeds and that in there.
Apparently, these monkeys
these baboons, love melon seeds.
Mmm.
So, this hunter places the
melon seeds in the hole,
makes sure the baboon sees him doing it.
Then he kicks back. He hides.
He sits, he waits.
See, now baboons are curious by nature.
And this one particular baboon,
he's seen this guy put
something in this hole,
and now he's come to investigate.
Checks the coast is clear,
then he goes up to the tree.
So he puts his hand in. [SNIFFS]
He can smell it. Mmm!
Knows it's good, it's the good stuff.
He's clear.
He grabs it! He's got it!
Everything he desires,
everything he wants.
- Mmm.
- And now it's his.
See now, he tries to pull out.
But he can't.
He's pulling.
He wants to get it out, but he can't.
He's stuck.
See, now the hunter, he's smart.
He designed the hole
so only an empty hand
could come slide in and out.
Baboon, he's screaming, struggling.
He's going crazy 'cause
he feels he's been trapped.
But in reality, he's trapped himself.
He could just let go and be free,
but he doesn't, 'cause he's greedy.
He's consumed.
Holding on for dear
life. He can't let go.
Now the hunter, knowing the
baboon's trapped, comes back.
Does what a hunter does.
And you know what?
Documentary got me thinking
'bout us.
About how we trap ourselves.
No one else.
Just us.
We do it to ourselves.
And if you want to be free
I mean, really free,
from negativity, the bullshit
you've just got to let go.
It's that simple.
[SIGHS]
[SOMBER MUSIC]
About 7K in there.
Call it a leaving present.
Hey, yo, for real, thanks, bro.
I can't take this, man.
You've done enough for me
as it is already, like.
Are we friends, or are we brothers?
Exactly.
Don't count the money.
Make the money count.
So where you going? Need
a lift to the airport?
Nah. Nah, I'm good, bro.
Got a stop I need to make first, innit?
Yeah, summin' you said
made me realize summin'.
Listen, man, you've always
been kind to me, bro.
And I've realized that
it's not an easy thing to be
when you're from where we're from.
So just know that I appreciate that.
Just remember, bro, I
love you, bro. Come on.
Look after, yeah?
Come on, bro.
[DISTANT CAR HORN]
[FOREBODING MUSIC]
[PHONE VIBRATES]
Yo.
Yeah, who's this?
Where?
What, right now?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Say
nothing, say no more.
[TENSE MUSIC]
[SIGHS]
[ENGINE REVVING]
[BRAKES SQUEAKING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[FOREBODING MUSIC]
Yo, what's good?
You know, you're a very
lucky guy, you know, Gogo?
Yeah, why's that?
'Cause you've been hiding from me,
and I was about to come looking for you.
- I ain't been
- And trust me
You don't want a man
like me looking for you.
I ain't been hiding from you, Slim.
I've got nothing to hide.
Anyway, here you go.
It's the watch, innit?
[CHUCKLES] You trying to set me up?
Nah.
You sure?
And you don't want
nothing from this, no?
Nah, I'm good. It's yours.
Nothing good could really
come from it anyway,
not after what happened,
so nah, keep it.
I'm just trying to put all this
behind me now anyway, move on.
But I just want what's
mine, Slim. That's it.
The money from all the other
jobs we did. I'm owed that much.
It's my money, I've earned it.
Just give that to me at least,
give that to me and I'm gone, bro.
Can't lie, this is one bad boy watch.
Would have been worth at least
one more duppy in my opinion.
[TENSE MUSIC]
[CHUCKLES]
So you saying to me
though? You want to be out?
Just like that?
So what, you've just grown
a conscience overnight?
You think it's that easy, yeah?
Gogo, you know the first time
I actually killed someone?

I was 13 years of age ♪
Had a man's DNA on my blade! ♪

[MUSIC FADES]
You hear me?
It's when I say. No sooner, no later.
[SLIM SCOFFS]
Let me ask you a question, Gogo.
Be honest with me and I might
just let you call all this quits.
You think you're better than me, innit?
Be honest.
Define better.
Better, innit, man? Come on.
Better morals, better person.
Just better, innit, you know?
- Yeah, I do still.
- [SCOFFS]
I know still. I knew that from
the first day I met you, my guy.
I knew you just thought you
was better than everyone.
Thought you were special.
Think you're this good guy.
You see the difference with
me, I don't put on no front.
I'm just me.
I don't think I'm special.
I definitely don't think
I'm better than no one else.
But you see, you
you're just a liar.
A little bitch.
And I've seen up your skirt, bro.
Nah You ain't special.
You definitely ain't no good guy either.
You're just a selfish, corrupted,
rotten piece of shit, just like me.
Nah. I ain't nuttin' like you.
Yeah, I'm a good person, yeah?
Do you think anyone gives a
shit about you being good, bro?
All right, cool. Maybe
I'm not a good person then.
I can live with that.
But listen, man, I've
answered your questions,
so my money, when can I get that?
You've seen me do a lot
of things you know, Gogo.
You know a lot of my secrets.
Put it this way, that type of shit
man takes to the grave with them.
So you can understand when
a man like you says to me
that you want your
money and you're gone.
That shit don't mean nuttin' to me, bro.
The fact is, you ain't gone.
You're still here.
Living, breathing
Well, for now anyway.
Bad things happen to
good people all the time.
[GUN COCKS]
[TENSE MUSIC]
[CHUCKLES] Nah, I'm joking, my guy, man.
We all good.
You answered my questions and
you gave me back what's mine.
So we good, man.
When you about later? I'll
drop off this paper to you.
Depends. Later when?
Whenever, bro, whenever.
In the next few hours, yeah.
But I'm not in town after nine
though, I'm heading out somewhere.
Couple hours, calm. It's all right.
But if you can't make
it, don't worry about it.
I'll come and find you.
Guess I'll be seeing you soon then.
Or you might not see me coming at all.
[CHUCKLES]
Yo, Gogo.
Stay safe, man.
Remember
It's a jungle out there, my guy.
Little nerd.

I think me and little man

He's young, man, so it's not too late
to show him the right way, you know?
I mean, all he has to do is the opposite
to everything I've done in my life

Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess.
It's fine, it's fine, it's fine.
You're gonna be fine, all right?
Listen, I promise you,
you're gonna be fine.
Yo, hello? Hello?
I need an ambulance now! D'you
understand what I'm saying to you?
[NARRATOR] Time.
If by some miracle I
could go back in time,
speak with my younger self,
what could I tell a young, stubborn,
hot-headed 14-year-old boy who
thinks the world's against him?
A kid who pretends to
know it all but in reality,
in reality he's shit scared
'cause he hasn't got a clue.
No. Listen, listen, listen [STAMMERS]
Please, I just need you to
fucking come here now, please!
What could I possibly tell
him that'll make a difference?
Hmm, let me think. I
think I'll tell him this.
I'd say, not everyone who's
against you is your enemy,
and not everyone who's
with you is your friend.
Just pick your company wisely.
Look, baby, baby, it's gonna
be OK, it's gonna be OK.
Look, man, you heard
what the fuck I said?
And learn a discipline, learn
how to fight, use your fists.
Trust me, even if you never have
to throw a real punch in your life,
the discipline and commitment
you'll learn from it will help you
with the much more important battles,
battles you'll be fighting
every day of your life.
Look, man, I told you,
hurry the fuck up, man!
And read. Read every book
you possibly can, man.
The long boring ones,
the controversial ones,
even the ones that might
not at first make any sense.
Just read.
It turns out it's true what they
say, knowledge really is power.
[GOGO PLEADING]
When you're angry, be
silent if you can't be calm.
[GOGO] Fuck off, man!
Please, please, please!
And know this much,
if you wait until you think
you're well and truly ready,
you'll be waiting for the rest
of your life. So do it now.
That's what I'm trying to
fucking say to you, man!
And try not to swear too.
In fact, try to perfect your
bad habits before you have kids.
See, children don't hear us,
like, they actually imitate us,
and if you don't get
it right, it's like
it's like a vicious cycle, man,
just history repeating
itself, again and again.
[SCREAMING, CRYING]
Please, please. Please,
please, please, please.
Dream. Dream so big
you feel uncomfortable telling
your dreams to small-minded people.
Dream big and then
you chase those dreams,
even when they laugh and joke
and make you feel like
they're the most unrealistic,
idiotic ideas in the whole entire world.
Yo, chase them, trust me.
Chase them like there's no tomorrow.
[GOGO] It's fine, it's fine,
it's fine. Someone help!
'Cause most kids nowadays
just dream about being
professional YouTubers.
There's no more
astronauts around anymore.
Don't let her go.
No matter how many times you argue,
no matter how many times she packs
that bag, don't let that girl go.
She's the best thing
that'll ever happen to you.
You just don't know it yet.
[DISTANT SIRENS]
[GOGO CRYING, JESS MUTTERING]
Travel. Whenever you get the
opportunity, travel. Trust me.
Step out of your comfort
zone, see the world.
You'll come back a
changed man, mark my words.
You'll see the world's
bigger than any beef you have
or any postcode or borough you're from.
The world's a beautiful place,
man. You deserve to see it one day.
[BANGING HEAD AND GROANING]
Oh, and cry. Just from time to
time, let it all out. It won't hurt.
You'll be OK.
Don't let people make
you feel less than them,
or even hopeless just because
of what they think of you.
Nah. You should feel proud in fact,
proud of where you've come
from, because it's your journey.
It belongs to you, so be patient,
with a beautiful patience.
You have so much potential, man.
You just haven't realized it yet.
You will though in time.
Look, no one's got all
the answers, like, no one,
but if you don't learn from
what killed your father,
that same thing will kill you.
Jess, Jess, Jess. It's fine, it's
fine, it's fine, it's fine. It's fine.
Listen, listen, you know
what I'm telling you.
I already told you where
the fucking street is!
And never underestimate
the power of an apology.
It works wonders when
it's said from the heart.
[GOGO] I'm sorry, I'm
sorry! It's my fault.
It's my fault, Jess! I'm sorry!
Tell him you love him now.
Not tomorrow, not next week.
Tell him now,
because later, later you might
not be able to tell him at all.
Jess, it's gonna be
fine. It's gonna be fine.
[JESS MOANING]
The respect you think you've earned
in the streets as a result of the fear
or how many people you've
hurt will be long forgotten,
and no one will even care by
the time you're 36, to be honest.
Instead it will be your compassion
and your willingness to help others.
That's what you'll be respected
and remembered for. So be kind.
Raise beautiful children.
Inside and out.
Bless your food before you eat it.
Oh, and lastly, when
it's your time to go,
remember that none of it comes
with you, like none of it.
We leave it all behind.
Every. Single. Thing.
See, nothing in this life is ever owned.
It's simply borrowed.
We have to give it
all back when we leave.
[GOGO CRYING, JESS MOANING]
[SCOFFS] Ah, man.
I wish I could go back in time and
tell my younger self exactly that.
That everything is
borrowed, including time.
I think it would have made
all the difference to me
- knowing that back then,
- [DISTANT SIRENS]
I know it would have in fact.
[NARRATOR SIGHS] Back in time.
Yeah, that's exactly what
we have to do right now.
Go back in time. To when it all began.

what filter I slap on,
no matter what the lighting looks like,

Nah, man, let me see these, man.

You didn't get the chain in proper, man?
Bro, you think you're

My ting's icy, fam. Look
at the diamonds, cuz.
Gyal I'm gonna draw on this
chain? You're stupid blud.
Bro, furthermore, cuz,
you're wearing black, bro.
Moving like you've got no personality.
Nah. That's 'cause I'm serious.
Nah, bro, you're not a serious guy,
man. My ting's different anyway.
Listen, you know what? Take
some more pictures and that.
This time make sure
you get it proper, man.
Are you getting the
chain properly though,
yeah? Getting the diamonds and shit.
Keep banging on about your chain.
[MARCUS] Get the diamonds in.
Make sure you get the diamonds in.
[POLICE SIREN BLARES]
Hello, ladies. Sorry to bother ya.
Just wondering if you could help us out.
I don't suppose either of yous two

that happened around

Nah.

[CHUCKLES]

Nah, I'm not even from round here.
Give me this, man!
Hey, remember my name pussy, yeah?
- Yeah, remember it.
- Shorty, yeah?
[THEME MUSIC]
[NARRATOR] How did it get to this?
That's the question we often ask
ourselves after things
have become so bad,
so fucked up that the only
solution, like, the only cure,
seems to be simply
to run away somewhere,
start again from scratch,
just leave everything behind.
See, but the truth is often times
it isn't just one definitive action
or choice that brings us to
disaster in the first place.
Nah.
Nah, see, it's more
like a series of events,
like, bad choices, poor decisions even,
that end up leading
us deeper and deeper,
further and further down
the rabbit hole we go.
Going gone.
[FOREBODING TRAP MUSIC]
Have you even slept?
Nah, not really, maybe,
like, half an hour or summin'.
Where are we?

- [DISTANT SIRENS]

I can't believe things
have gotten this bad.
I don't know what to do.
Look, I'm just trying to see this
as a new start for us, you know?
I just want to turn this into
summin' positive, we have to.
'Cause we can't stay here
anymore, you understand?
Well, what about my mum?
My brother, my sisters?
I I don't get to see them?
Like, they won't even be
there when our baby's born.
[SIGHS]
Was it all worth it?
All of this?
Was it all worth it, Gogo?
Look, babe
I don't even know what to say.
Look, I know I did it again.
Yeah, I fucked up.
Yeah, I fucked up again.
Like, I know, I get it.
And look, I know I haven't
been the ideal man or

either for you, like
Look, you blatantly

That much is obvious.
[SCOFFS] I mean, look at me.
I'm a fuck-up.
You ain't gotta say nuttin', it's true.
I know it, you know it.
Shit, man, your whole

I'm trying to look at this

more stealing, no more nuffin'!
Look, I'm not trying to make
no more decisions for Gogo.
No more, Jess!
Yeah, I'm trying to make

Listen, babe, I just need

[AP] All right, cool, cool. Follow me.
I am gonna miss you, boy.
[GOGO] Yeah, same here, man.
Take a seat, bro.
All right, let me tell you a story.
Well, it's not so much a
story, as like real life.
I was watching this documentary
a little while ago, like.
It was about these hunters
in the Kalahari Desert.
And how they hunted these monkeys, well,
they're not monkeys,
they're baboons, yeah?
So, what they do is they carve a
hole in the tree, 'bout this big,
and stick melon seeds and that in there.
Apparently, these monkeys
these baboons, love melon seeds.
Mmm.
So, this hunter places the
melon seeds in the hole,
makes sure the baboon sees him doing it.
Then he kicks back. He hides.
He sits, he waits.
See, now baboons are curious by nature.
And this one particular baboon,
he's seen this guy put
something in this hole,
and now he's come to investigate.
Checks the coast is clear,
then he goes up to the tree.
So he puts his hand in. [SNIFFS]
He can smell it. Mmm!
Knows it's good, it's the good stuff.
He's clear.
He grabs it! He's got it!
Everything he desires,
everything he wants.
- Mmm.
- And now it's his.
See now, he tries to pull out.
But he can't.
He's pulling.
He wants to get it out, but he can't.
He's stuck.
See, now the hunter, he's smart.
He designed the hole
so only an empty hand
could come slide in and out.
Baboon, he's screaming, struggling.
He's going crazy 'cause
he feels he's been trapped.
But in reality, he's trapped himself.
He could just let go and be free,
but he doesn't, 'cause he's greedy.
He's consumed.
Holding on for dear
life. He can't let go.
Now the hunter, knowing the
baboon's trapped, comes back.
Does what a hunter does.
And you know what?
Documentary got me thinking
'bout us.
About how we trap ourselves.
No one else.
Just us.
We do it to ourselves.
And if you want to be free
I mean, really free,
from negativity, the bullshit
you've just got to let go.
It's that simple.
[SIGHS]
[SOMBER MUSIC]
About 7K in there.
Call it a leaving present.
Hey, yo, for real, thanks, bro.
I can't take this, man.
You've done enough for me
as it is already, like.
Are we friends, or are we brothers?
Exactly.
Don't count the money.
Make the money count.
So where you going? Need
a lift to the airport?
Nah. Nah, I'm good, bro.
Got a stop I need to make first, innit?
Yeah, summin' you said
made me realize summin'.
Listen, man, you've always
been kind to me, bro.
And I've realized that
it's not an easy thing to be
when you're from where we're from.
So just know that I appreciate that.
Just remember, bro, I
love you, bro. Come on.
Look after, yeah?
Come on, bro.

'Cause you've been hiding from me,

- And trust me
You don't want a man

I ain't been hiding from you, Slim.
I've got nothing to hide.
Anyway, here you go.
It's the watch, innit?
[CHUCKLES] You trying to set me up?
Nah.
You sure?
And you don't want
nothing from this, no?
Nah, I'm good. It's yours.
Nothing good could really
come from it anyway,
not after what happened,
so nah, keep it.
I'm just trying to put all this
behind me now anyway, move on.
But I just want what's
mine, Slim. That's it.
The money from all the other
jobs we did. I'm owed that much.
It's my money, I've earned it.
Just give that to me at least,
give that to me and I'm gone, bro.
Can't lie, this is one bad boy watch.
Would have been worth at least
one more duppy in my opinion.

You hear me?

[SLIM SCOFFS]
Let me ask you a question, Gogo.
Be honest with me and I might
just let you call all this quits.
You think you're better than me, innit?
Be honest.
Define better.
Better, innit, man? Come on.
Better morals, better person.
Just better, innit, you know?
- Yeah, I do still.
- [SCOFFS]
I know still. I knew that from
the first day I met you, my guy.
I knew you just thought you
was better than everyone.
Thought you were special.
Think you're this good guy.
You see the difference with
me, I don't put on no front.
I'm just me.
I don't think I'm special.
I definitely don't think
I'm better than no one else.
But you see, you
you're just a liar.
A little bitch.
And I've seen up your skirt, bro.
Nah You ain't special.
You definitely ain't no good guy either.
You're just a selfish, corrupted,
rotten piece of shit, just like me.
Nah. I ain't nuttin' like you.
Yeah, I'm a good person, yeah?
Do you think anyone gives a
shit about you being good, bro?
All right, cool. Maybe
I'm not a good person then.
I can live with that.
But listen, man, I've
answered your questions,
so my money, when can I get that?
You've seen me do a lot
of things you know, Gogo.
You know a lot of my secrets.
Put it this way, that type of shit
man takes to the grave with them.
So you can understand when
a man like you says to me
that you want your
money and you're gone.
That shit don't mean nuttin' to me, bro.
The fact is, you ain't gone.
You're still here.
Living, breathing
Well, for now anyway.
Bad things happen to
good people all the time.
[GUN COCKS]

[CHUCKLES] Nah, I'm joking, my guy, man.

You answered my questions and
you gave me back what's mine.

When you about later? I'll
drop off this paper to you.
Depends. Later when?
Whenever, bro, whenever.
In the next few hours, yeah.
But I'm not in town after nine
though, I'm heading out somewhere.
Couple hours, calm. It's all right.
But if you can't make

I'm here now, I'm here now, I'm
here now, I'm here now. I'm here now,
I'm here now. It's OK, it's OK.
You're safe, you're safe, yeah?
[JESS BREATHING HEAVILY]
- Jess
- What?
- Babe, babe, babe, baby, baby.
- [JESS GROANS]
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no. Babe, babe, babe, babe.
Babe! Fuck!
Babe, babe, babe, babe, no!
Please. Jess, Jess,
Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess.
Jess, Jess, Jess.
Please, please, please.
You're fine, you're fine, you're fine.
Someone help!
Someone!
Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess.
It's fine, it's fine, it's fine.
You're gonna be fine, all right?
Listen, I promise you,
you're gonna be fine.
Yo, hello? Hello?
I need an ambulance now! D'you
understand what I'm saying to you?
[NARRATOR] Time.
If by some miracle I
could go back in time,
speak with my younger self,
what could I tell a young, stubborn,
hot-headed 14-year-old boy who
thinks the world's against him?
A kid who pretends to
know it all but in reality,
in reality he's shit scared
'cause he hasn't got a clue.
No. Listen, listen, listen [STAMMERS]
Please, I just need you to
fucking come here now, please!
What could I possibly tell
him that'll make a difference?
Hmm, let me think. I
think I'll tell him this.
I'd say, not everyone who's
against you is your enemy,
and not everyone who's
with you is your friend.
Just pick your company wisely.
Look, baby, baby, it's gonna
be OK, it's gonna be OK.
Look, man, you heard
what the fuck I said?
And learn a discipline, learn
how to fight, use your fists.
Trust me, even if you never have
to throw a real punch in your life,
the discipline and commitment
you'll learn from it will help you
with the much more important battles,
battles you'll be fighting
every day of your life.
Look, man, I told you,
hurry the fuck up, man!
And read. Read every book
you possibly can, man.
The long boring ones,
the controversial ones,
even the ones that might
not at first make any sense.
Just read.
It turns out it's true what they
say, knowledge really is power.
[GOGO PLEADING]
When you're angry, be
silent if you can't be calm.
[GOGO] Fuck off, man!
Please, please, please!
And know this much,
if you wait until you think
you're well and truly ready,
you'll be waiting for the rest
of your life. So do it now.
That's what I'm trying to
fucking say to you, man!
And try not to swear too.
In fact, try to perfect your
bad habits before you have kids.
See, children don't hear us,
like, they actually imitate us,
and if you don't get
it right, it's like
it's like a vicious cycle, man,
just history repeating
itself, again and again.
[SCREAMING, CRYING]
Please, please. Please,
please, please, please.
Dream. Dream so big
you feel uncomfortable telling
your dreams to small-minded people.
Dream big and then
you chase those dreams,
even when they laugh and joke
and make you feel like
they're the most unrealistic,
idiotic ideas in the whole entire world.
Yo, chase them, trust me.
Chase them like there's no tomorrow.
[GOGO] It's fine, it's fine,
it's fine. Someone help!
'Cause most kids nowadays
just dream about being
professional YouTubers.
There's no more
astronauts around anymore.
Don't let her go.
No matter how many times you argue,
no matter how many times she packs
that bag, don't let that girl go.
She's the best thing
that'll ever happen to you.
You just don't know it yet.
[DISTANT SIRENS]
[GOGO CRYING, JESS MUTTERING]
Travel. Whenever you get the
opportunity, travel. Trust me.
Step out of your comfort
zone, see the world.
You'll come back a
changed man, mark my words.
You'll see the world's
bigger than any beef you have
or any postcode or borough you're from.
The world's a beautiful place,
man. You deserve to see it one day.
[BANGING HEAD AND GROANING]
Oh, and cry. Just from time to
time, let it all out. It won't hurt.
You'll be OK.
Don't let people make
you feel less than them,
or even hopeless just because
of what they think of you.
Nah. You should feel proud in fact,
proud of where you've come
from, because it's your journey.
It belongs to you, so be patient,
with a beautiful patience.
You have so much potential, man.
You just haven't realized it yet.
You will though in time.
Look, no one's got all
the answers, like, no one,
but if you don't learn from
what killed your father,
that same thing will kill you.
Jess, Jess, Jess. It's fine, it's
fine, it's fine, it's fine. It's fine.
Listen, listen, you know
what I'm telling you.
I already told you where
the fucking street is!
And never underestimate
the power of an apology.
It works wonders when
it's said from the heart.
[GOGO] I'm sorry, I'm
sorry! It's my fault.
It's my fault, Jess! I'm sorry!
Tell him you love him now.
Not tomorrow, not next week.
Tell him now,
because later, later you might
not be able to tell him at all.
Jess, it's gonna be
fine. It's gonna be fine.
[JESS MOANING]
The respect you think you've earned
in the streets as a result of the fear
or how many people you've
hurt will be long forgotten,
and no one will even care by
the time you're 36, to be honest.
Instead it will be your compassion
and your willingness to help others.
That's what you'll be respected
and remembered for. So be kind.
Raise beautiful children.
Inside and out.
Bless your food before you eat it.
Oh, and lastly, when
it's your time to go,
remember that none of it comes
with you, like none of it.
We leave it all behind.
Every. Single. Thing.
See, nothing in this life is ever owned.
It's simply borrowed.
We have to give it
all back when we leave.
[GOGO CRYING, JESS MOANING]
[SCOFFS] Ah, man.
I wish I could go back in time and
tell my younger self exactly that.
That everything is
borrowed, including time.
I think it would have made
all the difference to me
- knowing that back then,
- [DISTANT SIRENS]
I know it would have in fact.
[NARRATOR SIGHS] Back in time.
Yeah, that's exactly what
we have to do right now.
Go back in time. To when it all began.
[CLOCK TICKING]
[CLOCK TICKING SLOWS]
[PHONE TAKING PHOTOS]
I'm telling you, no matter
what filter I slap on,
no matter what the lighting looks like,
you're always gonna look slapped.
Nah, man, let me see these, man.
Oi, these are dead,
bruv. What you doing?
You didn't get the chain in proper, man?
Bro, you think you're
bad with this chain, man?
My ting's icy, fam. Look
at the diamonds, cuz.
Gyal I'm gonna draw on this
chain? You're stupid blud.
Bro, furthermore, cuz,
you're wearing black, bro.
Moving like you've got no personality.
Nah. That's 'cause I'm serious.
Nah, bro, you're not a serious guy,
man. My ting's different anyway.
Listen, you know what? Take
some more pictures and that.
This time make sure
you get it proper, man.
Are you getting the
chain properly though,
yeah? Getting the diamonds and shit.
Keep banging on about your chain.
[MARCUS] Get the diamonds in.
Make sure you get the diamonds in.
[POLICE SIREN BLARES]
Hello, ladies. Sorry to bother ya.
Just wondering if you could help us out.
I don't suppose either of yous two

Last funny boys we had lost

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]
Fuck it!
Fuck it!

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]
[RUMBLING]
Something feels different.
Yo, that was mad, man.
