This Town (2024) s01e05 Episode Script

The man who sets the detonators
is called Terry.
He's suspicious as hell.
Stay close to your dad,
and listen out for the mention
of someone called Lemongrass.
If I'm caught, I'm dead.
You've taken part in an operation
as part of an active service unit.
You have obligations
to other members of that unit.
A day dawns when you know
you can't go on like this.
Why don't we make that day today?
Dante, are you also a virgin?
I don't know.
How can you not know?
Well, I'd have to take
into consideration previous lives.
A deal? With the Ra?
They will use you for their own
purposes
and then they will put you
under a motorway.
You have an informant in Coventry.
I know who he is.
You're in this now.
There's no getting out.
Get on the ground! Armed police!
Get on the ground! Get in!
How difficult is it
to learn the drums?
We need a drummer.
Drummers are easy to find.
What we really need is someone
who knows the record business.
Hello, Jeff, it's Fiona.
Somebody dropped off a tape I think
you should listen to.
Heaven or hell.
Arrrgh!
I don't care.
Let it come.

I watch the birds taking off
I think about you

You waiting for me?
Jeannie
apart from in previous lives,
I am a virgin
and I've decided if I want to write
songs about love and women,
I can't carry on being one.
So therefore
So therefore, what?
You know lots of girls.
And you yourself are a girl.
And I thought
there are two possibilities.
Either me,
or one of the lots of girls?
Yes.
Do you have a preference, Dante?
Yes, Fiona.
But I don't think that's possible.
Bye, Dante.

Is the tea boy staying?
My son took a beating from the
Branch and never uttered a word.
OK. I'll put it to a vote.
Can I see a show of hands?
Those in favour.
Those against.
Motion carried.
So, let's begin
with the business of the day.
Come on.
We need to talk about London.
I've had some correspondence
from our friends in Kilburn.
Before we get into that,
we might have an issue.

Lemongrass.

You're sure about this, Dante?
So, Dante.
You want to lose your virginity?
Ba! ♪
ECHOES
Dante, you said you required
a particular service?
I remember my brother saying
you know people
who will have sex for money.
HE SCOFFS
Does your brother know
you've come here?
When does this place open?
One week.
Money in my pocket
but I just can't get no love. ♪
Actually, Dante, if you've got
money in your pocket, you can!
HE CHUCKLES
It's a bit early in the day.
But there's a place you can go.
She does mornings
and she does beginners.
OK.
We'll book this place for our band
for opening night.
Opening night's taken.
Red carpet.
UB40 top of the bill.
OK, the night after. Dante, do you
want to lose your virginity or not?
Yeah.
So I made the call.
She'll be ready in half an hour.
I have no idea
how this is going to go.
Worst thing that can happen is
nothing happens.
Want a drink?
I don't drink.
You can't do this alone, Dante.
You walk in there alone,
you get nervous.
Nothing will happen.
My dad says it's like
you put a thief in your mouth
to steal your brains away.
OK.
Even better idea.
KEYS JANGLE
I've got something here
that's really going to relax you.
Pop one of these
and all your nerves will disappear.
It will help you perform
at your best.
Put a thief in your mouth

Off the rails, reason fails
Carriage burning, penis yearning
Trapped in the wrecks
To the rescue comes
sex.
DISTORTED MUSIC
DISTORTED LAUGHTER
The virgin steps in
to the original sin
She's the witch on your broom
in the golden afternoon
And the pleasure spills
and drowns your will
You have no choices
Just to obey the voices
When you think you can't take it
Too much will break it
To the rescue, comes sex.
ECHOING: You're so sweet.
Dragged by drugs across
inner-city rugs

Faster, faster!
Right, get lost, you two.
I smell rum.
You don't drink.
I also smell dope.
Jeannie,
can I have some of your drink?
SLURPS AND GULPS
Nothing anybody said was
an exaggeration.
Said about what?
About everything.
Except what they taught us
at school made it all seem normal.
Which it isn't.
Sex is like me.
The whole thing is mad as fuck.
You've had sex?
Yes.
Have you got any more?
No. Who have you had sex with?
I have no idea. OK.
Where did you have sex?
I don't know.
Other than rum and dope,
what did you take?
Some pills Wire gave me.
Oh, fuck. Seriously, Jeannie.
I've found something
as ridiculous as me.
Did Wire arrange the arrangement?
What arrangement? Oh, the sex?
Yeah. He did.
Did you wear protection? Jeannie,
the song that's going to come out
of this is going to be insane.
Also, Jeannie,
the other thing I've decided is
we really need a drummer.
But I don't think
Fiona would be any good
because she's from Sutton Coldfield.
Dante! Have you even heard of VD?
Also
I've thought of a name for the band.
Ready?
Big
New
Everything.
The Big New Everything.
Today it all made sense.
The stuff that comes to me,
it's like I had a way of
making it make sense.
What were these pills
Wire gave to you?
Not sure
Think he said it was called Whizz.
Dante, let's go.
Where's your hat?
Ah, fuck.
Wire will know.
Dante, don't go back!
Dante, do not go back!
If you go back,
you will keep going back!
Expenses.
For you and the boy.
All me and the boy want is
to be set free.
The reason I instructed you
to introduce the idea
of an informant to our friends
in Sparkhill
was to activate
their security procedures.
To force them to make changes
to existing operations
in case those operations had already
been compromised.
I know.
I spent time with the Hereford boys
in Armagh.
Well
our little ruse worked.
I'm not asking the boy
to wear a wire ever again.
Next time, he'll break.
Next time won't be his first time.
On the tape, the man, Terry, talks
about making changes
to the "Kensington thing".
And the woman, Mrs Porter,
discusses contacting people
in Kilburn by post.
Odd that a Coventry cell is
discussing a London operation.
What's going to be your definition
of escape velocity?
When will me
and the boy have done enough?
Having listened to the tape of the
conversation
in The Gate Hangs Well pub, I'd say
your mission now is to find out
what the fuck a Coventry battalion
are planning to do in London.
OK, and if we do?
You can go off,
live a quiet life of petty crime
and violence.
And the boy, Bardon Quinn,
can go on and become a rock star.
Branch have him
under 24-hour surveillance.
We've bugged the warehouse
where his band's rehearsing.
Got the tape here.
According to the boys in the Branch,
they're very good.

You've gone back for more,
haven't you?
Hmm.
I'm not shocked about the drums
because Fiona told me
she was going to buy them,
but, fuck They look fucking
They, they look like, er
somebody fat in a smart suit.
I've been playing your tape
to scouts.
From their response, I think
you are all worth investing in.
How hard can it be, right?
I mean, hit the fat man
in the smart suit with a stick.
Dante, we hear that since
we last saw you, you've changed.
BASS DRUM BANGS
She told you about the golden
afternoon.
How are you feeling, Dante?
DRUMSTICKS CLATTER
I'm feeling like that.
Yeah, you look like that.
It's not just booze.
He thinks sex and drugs will
make him a better songwriter.
Fuck. This is SO what you'd expect
from a normal band,
and so what you wouldn't from Dante.
CYMBAL CRASHES
So
who IS going to play drums for us?
Fiona, you need to put up
a thing in your shop.
An advert - "Fat man wanted
to hit the fucking"
You know what?
He is the perfect candidate
for fucking himself up like this.
DANTE VOMITS
They say it can be hereditary.
His dad was an alcoholic.
Some people, if they start,
they can't stop.
By the way, I've written
this fucking amazing song.
That stuff I discovered on the
golden afternoon makes it come easy.
DANTE GULPS
It's like
you're walking toward all
these locks,
with all these keys in your hand
and you just have to try them.
What's the song called, Dante?
Can you remember?
I

afternoon, what's it called?
I had them out on the bus! Dante
shall I take you home?
No, no. He won't want his dad
to see him like this.
I'll take him to my mother's.
If anyone can talk some sense
into him, she can.
HE GASPS
It's called Pelicans!
The song is called Pelicans.
Because
even though they have shopping
bags for mouths, they
Oh, they they look beautiful.
I saw them on TV.
Er, when it comes back to me,
I'll sing it for you.
That might not be for a while,
Dante.
Hey, let's go.

TV: This afternoon,
workers leaving the factory said
they'd expected cuts, not closure.
The plant, built in 1976, can make

OK, Mum, I've got a job for you.
It doesn't involve
knocking in nails.
It involves knocking some sense
into this boy's head.
Aunt Estella
I've thought of a name for the
band.
We're going to be called
The Big New Everything.
No, we're not.
Go to sleep, Dante.
He's discovered some shit
some idiot gave him
and he drank and smoked, and
straight away I get the impression
he is like a dealer's dream, with
no vetting procedure whatsoever.
I want you to let him sleep it off.
In the morning, in the morning,
explain to him the folly of
Ah, Jesus.
Mum, you've been drinking.
Just beer.
Just two cans.
You swore on my life.
It's just beer. On my life.
Do you not think my life's
precarious enough as it is?
They say you've joined
the committee at The Gate.
Don't give this to me, Mum.

If you look at the M6 in a certain
way, it is quite beautiful.
As I said, Mum,
I'm giving you a job.
It's life or death.
If someone doesn't nip it
in the bud,
Dante will go all the way to hell.
That is how he is.
Lean on each other.
And keep him clean.
If you help him, this music thing
we're doing might work.
People say we're good.
Think about it. If I get famous,
I'll be no use to the Ra.
You can't have famous people
sneaking around
with Semtex in their bag, now,
can you?
This is my way out, Mum.
And the next sip of booze
you have
will be a sip of champagne
when our band reaches number one.
Promise me.
He's too nice to be left
in the custody of someone weak
and helpless like me.
You are weak,
but you're not helpless.
I truly believe you don't give
a fuck about yourself.
But you do give a fuck about him.
If you fuck up,
he dies, we don't get famous,
and I will end up riddled with
bullets in a ditch in Crossmaglen.

That's all I can remember.

You leave your brains on the bus,

Then it was you helping me.

My mum helped you?
She picked up the broken glass.
She was your sister.
Was she like you?
Your dad says
we're chalk and cheese.
I want to think she was like you.
Dad says chalk and cheese
as if they were different,
but in a song,
if you was writing the words,
you'd put chalk and cheese
in the same line.

How do you feel?
I feel exactly the same as I did

TV: Earlier today, the march
against the closure
of the Rover plant began peacefully
as it made its way
towards the Leyland
administration block.
Unions want talks with
Sir Michael Edwardes.
A spokesman said, "No-one
in their right mind would believe
"it was possible to close down the
most modern car plant in Europe."
MAN: Rover.
CROWD: Will not die.
In the face of mass redundancies,
feelings were running high
and a flash point occurred
when the planned route
of the march was blocked.
Trouble broke out between pickets
and police.
Missiles were thrown,
including bottles and bricks.
Six police officers were injured
in the disturbance.
Among the pickets, there were 15
arrests for public order offences.
A spokesman for Rover said
the incidents of violence were
unacceptable, and those responsible
would be identified

Did a good job on this place.
When do youse open?
Opening night is next week.
Do we get tickets?
If you want. I can get you tickets.
We have a stellar opening line-up.
Yeah,
we saw the adverts around town.
We keep a good close eye on you,
that's for sure.
I was told you wanted
to come and, um
pick my brains.
Pick your brains.
Yes.
That is what we want.
Do you mind if I smoke?
No.
It's about a man you know
as Virgil.
You know him?
Yes.
Well?
Er, not for a while.
He used to work for you. Yes.
And then he joined the British Army.
So I understand.
Yes or no is fine.
He made contact with us through you.
He asked. I just
Yes or no is just fine.
Yes.
Where'd you get the spaceman?
I bought it at auction.
Why did Virgil leave
the British Army? I don't know.
He was always a bit wild.
I heard he got into trouble.
He said it was
because he had Irish family.
And you believe him? As a friend.
I'm not a friend.
How much did you pay
for the spaceman?
£225, plus commission.
Is he for sale?
Everything is for sale.
Do you trust Virgil?
I tend not to trust.
Yes or no?
Yes.
He was reliable.
So you vouch for him?
Yes or no?
Er, well, I cannot say,
hand on heart that I would,
er, vouch for him, as I don't know
what your relationship with him is.
He's providing us with information.
Should we trust that information?
I cannot, hand on heart
It's your brains we've come to pick,
not your heart.
Although both organs are available
to us.
Understand this, Mr Carmen,
it was you who put Virgil in touch
with us,
and that means
you're liable for his actions.
Fuck.
And, if it should turn out that
Virgil's not actually being
truthful with us
Then, his guarantor becomes liable
for his mistake.
That's usually the way, isn't it?
Among friends.
And if your friend Virgil
disappoints us,
it'd be a shame for all your hard
work to go up in smoke.
I understand. What do you
understand? You want intelligence.
We all want intelligence.
You want me to find out
what Virgil is really doing.
We want you to actively pursue
information
about his true intentions, yes.
Through friends and lovers.
Using any means necessary.
And report that information
back to us.
That I will do.
Good. Get back to us soon,
because there are things on our
agenda on which we need clarity.
I think he won't hang around.
I will make it a top priority.
Let's say you'll get back to us
within the week.
Because otherwise
HIGH-PITCHED RINGING
Good luck with opening night.
VIRGIL, YOU FUCKING CUNT!
SHE YELLS
SHE PANTS
Yeah, so that's
the sort of thing that I do.
That the sort of thing
that you need?
I don't really know
what kind of music you play.
Basically ska and two-tone.
Basically lots of different things
that we don't put a label on.
Ah. I love lots of different things
without labels.
Irish as well?
My mum was Irish.
What about your dad?
Pakistani.
You're mixed, then, like me.
What music do YOU like?
Play what comes to me.
I don't really know
where it comes from.
Do you like motorway bridges?
You're funny.
He's being serious.
We don't have any money to pay you.
Been told you're good.
So money will come.
Told by who?
Someone I trust.
He also said that this band
has got a genius.
That's you, right?
Yeah.
He writes the words
but Jeannie writes the music.
And your music needs to be
beaten up a bit.
That's what I was told.
Have a listen.
See what needs beating up.
As a matter of fact
I have no opinion
of motorway bridges.
But I'm sure I could be persuaded
to like them.
Are are you getting the bus
back to Birmingham?
Train.
The station's reopened.
When you've listened to the tape,
give us a call.
Oh, there's still one in here.
For the train.
So if I like the music,
am I part of the band, or?
We are a democracy.
We'll take a vote.
Wait, I forgot to ask her something.
Dante, don't make a
fucking fool of yourself.
Did you see her arms? No.
She had needle marks.
She is a drummer.
Drummers are not meant to be normal.
If a drummer was normal,
that'd be weird.
And if we wait for a clean drummer,
we'll wait forever.
I vote yes. I vote no.
Before you decide to give me a vote,
I've got something to tell you.
I want to ask you something.
When music comes to you,
is it like pictures
that you can't describe to anyone?
Sometimes, yeah.
I get words coming to me.
I get like screaming to the beat.
Rolls around in my mouth.
That makes no sense but Good.
I don't like sense.
Where do you live?
Moseley. The cool part.
I live on the Wood.
The really rough, shit part.
I collect interesting people.
Do you hang them on your wall?
You should come to Moseley.
I hang out in a pub.
It's called the Fighting Cocks.
Lots of madness, music.
You come on a Saturday night,
and I'll introduce you to some
really, really interesting people.
You could talk to them.
About motorway bridges.
I also like space.
Oh, man.
We love space.
If you've all voted already
I vote yes. Before you vote,
Bardon has something to tell you.
Something to not tell you,
because I don't know what it is yet.
Tomorrow I'm going to London.
I have no idea what it is
that they want me to do.
But I'm going at the request
of my father.
So there's a chance that after I do,
whatever it is,
they're going to send me
straight to Dublin or Belfast
to disappear for a while.
But if I make it back here,
I want you all to know
that I no longer just want this band
to work, I fucking need it to work.
And just like you, Dante
I have absolutely no other
credible option on this Earth
other than to get famous.
My only option is Tesco checkout.
Me a record shop.
Then some sort of law firm.
Then marriage.
Probably a solicitor.
Probably called Gary.
I think you all know, for me,
it's living on a bridge.
So
I do what I have to do in London,
I do what I can to get back here,
and then when I return,
we all do whatever it takes
to get famous as fuck.
And to do that,
we are going to need the drummer
who's going to beat us up a bit.
All those in favour.
But you
you stay close to me.
This world
Is going up in flames
And nobody
Wanna take the blame
Don't tell me
How to live my life
When you
Never felt the pain
Oh, oh, oh, ooh oh, oh, oh
Ooh
Oh, oh, oh
They don't hear me cry
Ooh
Oh, oh, oh
They don't hear me try
Ooh
Oh, oh, oh
Ooh. ♪
