This City is Ours
3rd episode
Diana.
Don't touch me.
I want to go home.
I know.
But I need you with me on this.
What are you doing?
Going home.
Babe, we need to stay here.
I'm going home.
Keep the noise down.
I said, do not fucking touch me!
OK.
But we need to stay here.
We can't be the first ones up,
and we can't be the ones
to find him. OK?
What have we done?
You haven't done anything.
It was me.
It was all me. But
Trust me
Trust me, babe, it was necessary.
Hey.
Do you know what would
have happened next?
I get my nose pushed out,
so now I'm unhappy.
That makes me a threat.
Then I'm a target.
Even if I walk away,
I'm still a target.
Do not believe for one second
Ronnie didn't think like me.
Because he did.
Just ask Davy Crawford.
Jamie knows I would never
work for him.
He knows what I think of him.
So now Now I just need
to see it through.
And I need you
to help me do that, because
..well, you're the prize.
Yesterday, I was so happy.
I know.
But we'll be happy again.
We'll be permanently fucking happy.
We will be Mr and Mrs Happy
from Happy Town.
Look, we get Ronnie home,
we put him in the ground,
and that's it over.
But right now,
we just need to sit and wait.
Come here.
Come here.
Listen,
I'll be back in a bit.
You missing me?
How long do I leave the bottle
in the hot water for?
A few minutes. But make sure you
give it a good shake.
All right. Do you want a coffee?
You know I'd love one.
Aren't I good to you, eh?
Morning.
Morning.
I need juice.
I need vitamin C.
Here y'are.
Thanks.
I've been trying
to speak to your dad.
Oh, yeah? About what?
Business.
Is that right?
I am a qualified accountant,
Jamie.
Since when?
Since about 18 months ago.
I do know what I'm talking about.
If Ronnie wants to make more money,
there's better ways of rinsing cash
than nail bars,
body shops and property.
I said all this to Ronnie,
but he thinks things are fine
as they are.
Things ARE fine, but it doesn't
mean we can't improve.
Exactly.
Oh, my God.
Have you seen the state of him?
Who? Ronnie?
He's still out there on
the sun lounger!
Have a look!
Ha-ha!
He's out for the count!
Elaine, were you on a promise?
Yeah. What are you doing?
He's having a cold shower.
I'm gonna teach him a lesson.
You'll give him a heart attack.
Oh, he's insured.
Do you want me to get it
on my phone?
Yeah! Nah, Rachel, don't.
He'll go nuts. He hates all that.
All the more reason!
No, seriously.
He'll go nuts, you know.
Wait a sec. I'm filming.
You filming it, yeah?
Yeah.
This is nothing to do with me.
Oh, shut up.
Mum?
Mum, what is it?
Ronnie?
Ronnie?!
Oh Jesus Christ.
Ron! Ronnie, wake up!
Ronnie!
Ronnie!
Fuck's sake, no Ronnie!
Shall I call an ambulance? No.
Jamie! Oh, my God! Mum, get
Get her inside now!

HE MUTTERS

Bobby! Oh, my God!

RACHEL: Bobby!
Rachel, get my mum away, will you?!
Help him!
You ready? Do something!
Banksey!
Come on, Banksey, wake up!
What is it?
Bobby, what's going on?
Apart from the panic, not a clue.
Bobby!
Banksey! Get out of bed!
Jamie!
I'm up, I'm up!
Bobby!
Oh, my God!
Come on.
Jamie, what's going on?!
Michael, look at me dad.
Look at him.
Oh, fuck.
Oh
Oh, shit. Look, we'll sort it.
Sort it? What are you on about,
sort it, lad? Fucking look at him!
Michael Let's get him inside.
Argh! Jamie
Jamie, go and help your mum.
Whoever done this is getting it now.
We can deal with all that.
Fucking now, I said!
We'll see to it, Jamie! Fuck off!
Jamie, calm down. We'll see to it.
Let's get him inside
and let's lock the place down.
Do you hear me? Hey?
Now, go and help your mum.
We'll follow. Jamie
Yeah. OK? Mum Jamie
Elaine. Elaine
Mum, come here. Jamie. Jamie!
Elaine? Elaine?
Elaine, we'll take him inside
and we'll look after him.
Is that OK?
Yeah. Yeah? Yeah.
Come on.
Bobby, go and get some towels.
Come in here. Come in the house.
Yeah. Oh, my God!
Michael, what are we
in the middle of here, lad?
Look at him.
It's a fucking execution, Banksey.
Get the gun
and get the place locked down.
On it. I want everyone out of sight,
OK? I'm on it, lad!
Fucking old Ronnie, lad.
Lower him down.
Let's keep him on the lounger
and we'll get him
inside the house. Right?
Yeah.
We've got you, Ronnie.
On my count now.
One.
Two.
Three.
We've got you, lad.
All right.
Watch his arm.
Let's get him in the side room,
get him under the air-con
and close the doors.
ELAINE SOBS
Mum, don't look at him.
Don't look at him. Come here.
Now, now. Now, now. Come on.
ELAINE SOBS
DOOR OPENS
AIR-CON WHIRS
What's going on, then?
What's the plan?
We haven't got one yet.
OK, how about we find out
who the fuck done it?
Well, there's that, yeah.
DOOR OPENS
BANKSEY: Didn't see nothing
from the roof.
I'll check the perimeters
in a minute.
I think it was your mates,
the Colombians. It's got to be.
Why? Who else could it be?
They've just agreed on a deal
directly with your aul' fella.
Well, right, well, now
they've changed their mind.
Doesn't make sense, Jay.
What the fuck do you know? Jamie
How many grafters are there
holed up in Spain, lad?
How many in this actual
fucking town? Loads.
Right. How many of them knew
he was here?
All of them.
He was on the strip belting out
the karaoke all last night.
How many of them had
a fucking reason to kill him?
I've got no idea.
Let's deal with what
needs to be done.
Do we involve the police?
No way. We can't.
Same.
Jamie?
No. No police.
So we drive him home ourselves.
We need to do it today.
We get Ronnie home,
he dies peacefully in his sleep,
and he gets the send-off
he deserves.
Sounds good to me, Jay.
Is that possible?
There's a risk of us getting
stopped at the border,
but, yeah.
And whoever did this,
when they hear that
Ronnie died quietly at home,
wellthey might feel
the need to come forward
and say something different.
And that's how we find out
who done it.
Hopefully.
That the plan, then?
DOOR OPENS
Jay,
where are you going, lad?
Fucking nowhere.
We going to have
to keep an eye on him.
DOOR CLOSES
Only Jamie knows.
Knows what?
What Ronnie was thinking
when he asked the Amigos
for time instead of lemo.
Who knows what he's got us into?
I've been thinking
about Cheryl Crawford.
What do we say to her?
Nothing.
What Davy does,
it's his own business.
So we just say nothing at all?
You're not on Insta there, are you?
No, I'm not on Insta.
I'm sorting out flights.
And soon after we land,
Cheryl's gonna want to know
why her husband isn't with us
and why he's not been
picking up his phone.
He went to Estepona.
That's all he said.
That's all we know.
Right.
And am I allowed to know
why he's gone to Estepona?
You'd have to ask Ronnie.
BABY GURGLES
DOG BARKS IN DISTANCE
WOMAN, ECHOING: Diana? Diana?
HAMMERING ON DOOR
Please, open the door. It's only me!
HAMMERING ON DOOR
It's only me. Please!
Diana!
Diana?
Rachel's looking at flights.
There's plenty,
so there shouldn't be a problem.
Mm.
I didn't want this.
I'd like to be gone. Now.
Likeright now.
I'll get the car.
I'll wait for you outside.
I saw you.
I watched you.
That wasn't me.
Rachel said I should pack.
Good.
Michael's acting like
he's the fucking boss of the world.
Well, what's he been saying?
Nothing that doesn't make sense.
Stuff I should be saying.
That's not true.
Not yet.
No-one expects you to be
the boss of the world today.
Likeyou can't get your head
around what's happened.
I know I can't.
But tomorrow
..you know, the day after
..it's different, isn't it?
Isn't it? Yeah.
Just tell me that we're safe.
Me and the baby.
Why wouldn't you be safe?
Well, why do you think?
Yeah. You're safe.
Of course you're safe.
Cos you know who did it?
Just don't let things get
out of controland stupid.
What are you on about now?
Guns.
You've got no fucking idea.
Don't say that.
Don't speak to me like that.
What I don't need,
and what no-one needs,
is knobheads running round
the streets with guns,
pretending like they know
how to shoot them.
Cos that's what usually happens
in these situations.
Melissa, you're chatting shit.
Am I really?
You're safe.
You and the baby are safe.
D'you hear me?
Who gains
..from your dad being gone?
I still don't get it.
Why do you have to take him home?
It's in my interest
to get it done and over with.
I want to be there with you -
at the hospital
when they implant the embryos.
Babe, I will be there.
And then
..then we can start
to get excited again.
Unless you get stopped at the border
with a murdered man in the back.
INDICATOR CLICKS
I thought the airport
was straight ahead.
There's some people
I need to see first.
I'll be five minutes.
We were not expecting
to see you today.
Thought you should know
..that Ronnie
is no longer breathing.
You should also know
that we're no longer in possession
of our most recent container.
We were told it had been
stopped and searched
by customs, sowe let it go.
Wrote it off.
Told by who?
One of our own,
who's also no longer breathing.
If you're not in possession
of the container, Michael,
you have nothing to sell.
How do you pay?
Well, I am going to pay,
which is why I'm here.
Are YOU in control? Yeah.
Ronnie's son -
is he still breathing?
Yeah. Then you are not in control.
Yes, I am. Of what?
Last night, you asked for
three months' additional time.
You still require three months?
No. Instead I'm asking
for a second shipment.
Old terms.
100% of the sales goes
directly to you.
I will take no profit at all.
You are looking
to protect your markets?
Yeah. MY markets.
We would not be against
such an agreement.
Good.
Well, let's talk
when you are in control.
The son will want
to become the father.
We spoke about this.
Ronnie's passing -
does he suspect you?
No.
But he might suspect you.
Then, make the most
of your advantage.
Finish it.
They your Amigos?
Your Colombians?
Yeah.
Do you trust them?
Yeah, I do.
They needed to know about Ronnie.
They needed to know I'm in charge.
What?
I do understand
..why it was necessary.
So, how do we do this?
Sit him up in the back seat
of the car
with a ciggie in his mouth?
Bobby's sorting out a van.
And a freezer.
I'm going with him.
Elaine, whatever you want.
That's what I want.
How long will it take?
Yeah.
A ten-hour drive north.
Another 24 hours on the ferry,
and
..six-hour drive up to Liverpool.
It's two days?
Best part of. Yeah.
Would Jamie want to come along?
Might be nice company for you.
Might want to stay
with Melissa and the baby,
but I'll ask.
Why in God's name
didn't he just come to bed?
He never wanted the party to end.
Never.
Hello.
Bonehead, it's me.
I need a favour. Go on.
Can you and Blink get yourselves
out to Spain, like now?
Spain, lad? Yeah. Santander.
Book yourselves on the ferry
back to Portsmouth,
9.45 tomorrow morning.
Why? What's happening?
Look, we'll talk somehow,
but bring the jib and an appetite
for mindless violence, lad.
I need someone damaged.
Got him? Yeah.
Further.
If they find him, you do
know whoever's driving's screwed?
What's Spanish nick supposed
to be like these days?
Can't be any worse than Magaluf.
Bobby? You can't just throw 'em in.
It needs to look like
it's been loaded properly.
OK, you can do it.
Just do as you're told.
You know I'm right.
She's right.
How far's the car, Rach?
It's just cancelled.
Who could possibly have killed him?
Who would?
Dunno, Mum.
I'm still trying
to get my head around it.
Yeah, but what do you think?
What's that little voice inside
telling you?
OK, there's a little piece of me
looking at Michael.
Can't imagine it'd be Michael.
He didn't like getting
sidelined by me dad, you know.
When was this?
That meeting with
the Amigos last night.
It's Jamie.
It's got to be. Hasn't it?
If our container was
never stopped, never searched,
then he's arranged
for someone to take our lemo.
So what are we gonna do
about him if he is behind it?
We can't rack him. Not yet.
We ask him questions,
play it straight and watch him lie.
Who d'you think stuck the knife in?
Not the Amigos.
It's what happens
when you start keeping secrets.
What are you thinking?
I just can't stop thinking
about how fucking carefree
Ronnie was last night.
Agreed.
Your father liked to play
with a loaded dice.
I'm worried it's come back
to bite him.
How d'you mean?
The rival was getting
too big for his boots. He
He'd find little snippets
of information
and pass them on.
Pass them on where?
The bizzies?
Thought you should know.
If someone's found out
Oh, for fuck's sake.
He told you this? Yeah.
Fucking hell, Mum.
What am I supposed to do with that?
And what the fuck is a snippet?
He wasn't a supergrass.
But he was a grass.
No.
No, he was clever.
Does anyone else know? God, no.
Unless they do.
And that's why he's dead.
Here's hoping these butties
haven't been left out all day.
What's on them? Ham and cheese.
You're in Spain -
it's always ham and cheese.
Jamon y queso.
When we get to the ferry
..I want to be with Ronnie
when we drive on.
OK.
Who could have done this, Michael?
Who would do this to him?
We've been talking about it.
And I'll be honest with you, Elaine.
I don't know.
Since yesterday,
Ronnie hasn't been himself.
It's understandable,
given the circumstances.
It could have been shock.
It could have been
what was said between him and Davy.
Add to that the pressure
of us losing 50K of weight.
He spoke to you, Jay,
as soon as we got back.
Did he say much?
Not really. No.
But you did talk. In private. Yeah.
Look, he just asked me where
Davy got the lemo he was selling.
I told him I didn't know,
cos I don't.
I know as much as you do, lad.
You were cosying up to Davy, though.
Was I? Yeah.
He was godfather to your baby.
What's this?
Another Spanish Inquisition?
Davy said enough
about something or someone
for Ronnie to take exception.
Look, whatever it was,
he didn't share it with me.
Ronnie say anything to you, Elaine?
No.
No.
Didn't like to involve me.
We're all involved.
Hi, this is Diana.
I can't get to the phone
right now, but leave a message
or send me a WhatsApp
and I'll get back to you.
Thank you.
Hiya, babe. It's only me.
I just wanted to check you're OK.
Diana, please,
I need you to open the door!
Will you please open up?
It's only me.
He's gone, love, he's gone!
It's just me. It's all right.
Open the door!
Diana!
Please, open the door, right.
Please, open the door.
OK? Come on, let's grab a coffee.
Yes, lad?
Where are you?
Yeah, we're here. We're just, uh
Just having a coffee. Go on.
You're all booked on the ferry?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It was sound.
Hey
Who, uh
Who is it that we're getting?
Can you say?
Michael Kavanagh.
You still there? Yeah.
I dunno. That That's
That's a heavy name
you've just dropped there.
Yeah, which is why I don't want
him back in Liverpool.
Well, you're saying you want the
damage to be permanent, aren't you?
Yeah, I am, yeah.
Have you thought this through,
lad, from start to finish?
Did you bring it? Did you?
Answer the question.
Yeah, we've got it, yeah.
All right.
That's all I needed to know.
See you later. Go on.
So what's he saying, then, lad?
An old mate.
It's busy, this one, mate.
It's busy.
Findanotherone.
I could never get him on a ship.
I always fancied a cruise,
but he wouldn't have it.
He'd say all people want to do
on a cruise is eat and drink.
I'd say, "What's wrong with that?"
Vamos, vamos.
Here we go.
Oh, God. My stomach's in knots.
Take deep breaths. Relax.
They're pulling people over.
Passports, please.
Rodriguez.
..por favor.
Bueno.
Over here, Monsieur.
You OK?
Just about.
I'm going to find a bar.
Sleep for me.
I'm going to get me head down, too.
Right, I'll see you down there, lad.
Your attention is drawn
to the emergency instruction
notices,
which are displayed
at the muster points
throughout the vessel.
These show the location
of muster stations
See you later.
Right. See you in a bit.
In a bit, lad.
Hello, babe.
It's only me.
I didn't want to call again.
But I do want you to know
it means everything,
what you said
..that you understand.
And I'm a lucky man.
And I love you.
Yeah. Hiya. Aw.
You all right? You all right?
How are you, Mum?
How are they treating you?
Yeah.
Hey, hey!
You all right?
Mmm.
Oh!
This is unexpected.
I know.
Sorry if I worried you
with the request.
I justneeded to see you,
like, actually
..really see you.
What's the matter?
I've beentrying to remember
exactly how it happened.
But everything Diana.
..has got mixed up.
It's gone.
No. It's long gone.
But it's not gone. It's the past.
Mum, it's there.
It will always be there.
Listen to me.
I wouldn't change a thing.
Not a single thing.
I'm in here and I'm happier
than I was out there.
That's all you need to know.
Would you say it was necessary?
Yes.
Yes.
It needed stopping.
He needed to be stopped
before he went too far.
Come on.
Tell me about your man.
Well, we're alike.
He loves me.
Of course he does.
He's not stupid.
God, I miss you so much.
What did we say, eh?
This isn't forever.
So stop with those tears
or I'll have to stop
the visits altogether.
If I gave you a phone number,
could you remember it?
You can't ever call me on it.
But if you text me,
I can call you back.
OK.
OK? Yeah.
OK, baby.
Come on.
Mm. Mm.
TAP RUNS
TAP STOPS
DOOR OPENS, CLOSES
Are you sure about this?
Right, cos I'm not.
Right, I spike his drink,
he crashes out in his cabin.
You smother the fucker.
What, I do it? Simple.
Yeah, well,
it's far from simple, lad.
There's cameras all over the place.
All right? You said damage.
Now I've changed my mind.
Well, change it again.
Ask me why I'm on a fucking boat
and not on a plane.
Go on, ask me. Why?
Some twat stuck a knife
in me aul' fella
and I'm having to bring
his body home in the back
of a fucking van. Fucking what?
Yeah, and on top of that,
Michael Kavanagh is running round
thinking he's the fucking boss,
so, yeah, I want it done.
Yeah, but not here, lad.
It's bang-on.
Look, I'll do it myself.
Jay, you're Jay, you're not
thinking straight, lad.
Jay. Fuck off.
Just think about it,
that's all I'm saying.
Right? Your dad aside,
we're in a good place,
so just don't fuck it up.
Why are you still here?
I'm sorry about Ronnie, lad.
All right?
Jamie.
Listen, thanks for getting us here.
No problem.
How are you feeling? Tired.
Long night.
Melissa and the baby get home OK?
Yeah. She messaged me. Yeah.
So what happens now, then?
What d'you mean?
Business-wise.
Just call everyone together
and we'll have a talk.
You just look after your mum.
Right, I need a piss.
You looking for your sea legs there?
