Murphy's Law (2003) s04e03 Episode Script
Season 4, Episode 3
THEME MUSIC I need an hour.
I'll be there at 11:OO.
SOFT MUSIC PLAYS Hiya.
Do you have any silver crucifixes? Do you want a plain one, or one with the wee man? The wee man? Mm.
Or just a plain one? One with the wee man.
SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES Lovely view.
See, Dad? When are we going? See, Mum? Lovely view.
I'll see if I can get her some tea.
Here.
I have something for you.
See? It's like the one you lost.
Here.
Right.
It's got a wee man on it.
There.
That looks grand.
When are we going home? Got your story all sorted? I'll have plenty of time on the ferry with laughing boy to get it straight.
We should offer Drew his taste from the jump up.
I thought 10 grand.
Bit steep.
He knows how much 25,000 sleeves of fags go for.
Not sure if the new Drew will accept it.
"The new Drew"? He could always offer it as a marriage gift.
Might help get us invited.
I'll see you back there.
Have a nice flight.
Oh, I will.
FERRY HORN BLOWS SEAGULLS SQUAWK Come on.
Do you understand what you're signing? It's not a 'get out of jail free' card.
You will have to serve a prison sentence, but of greatly reduced length, yeah? Right.
It's all been read to you? It's perfectly clear? Yep.
Then sign your name.
Or make your mark.
Whatever.
Right.
Might have something for you.
God, I've been longing to hear those words.
It's only a small thing.
But you think maybe it could lead to something big? Oh, God, it's like watching Bogart and Bacall.
Except Noreen uses a police whistle.
Yeah, just tell us what you've got.
One of the residents of the Hardwick Road, Isha Iqbal, was attacked on the street - had urine-filled johnnies chucked at her.
Nice.
Racist attack? Well, she was assaulted by Asian kids, so What are the helmets doing about it? Nothing.
Calling it "general youth disorder".
The attack was unprovoked, but it seems far from random.
Isha recognised this man.
My fat friend from the wasteland.
And she's also seen him driving up and down the street.
Seen the local youths gather round his car.
10 minutes later, after he's gone, tyres are slashed, rotten rubbish is emptied on doorsteps.
Now it seems to be getting more violent, more personal.
And directed by Mohammed Khan? It's Mo Khan's car, and he's Mo Khan's driver.
That much we know.
Who's this guy? Passer-by, we thought.
Nah, he was in the Kashmir restaurant when I first met Mo and now he's here - worth checking out.
Mm.
What are you gonna do about the Polish girl? I mean, you said she's bright.
So if she's the one who's read the report to Billy, maybe she's worked it out.
Maybe she has.
I'll play it by ear.
Tell me this is not thrill-seeking.
This is not thrill-seeking.
Oh, thanks a lot.
I feel a great deal better (!) Tell me it's not about your family.
Look.
.
.
I went into the Gardi to get close to a couple of Belfast bad boys that you wanted to put back inside.
What we've discovered is a chain of corruption from hoodies on the street, to Mohammed Khan, to senior members of the local authority.
And we've got Drew Johnstone and his money, if he can get his hands on it, right at the centre of it.
I know.
So you know what I have to do.
Follow the money.
And for that, I have to be back on the plot, shackled to Nutty Bollocks, at Drew's side.
This has nothing to do with thrill-seeking.
Here you go.
You might have washed it for me.
Any joy on the guy from the restaurant? Not yet, but we're working on it.
Is there anything you need me to do for you? Raise your game.
CAR ENGINE STARTS So it's good to be back, right? What? For Christ's sake, we've been over this 50 times.
Ohyeah.
Right.
Sorry.
You know now that Drew is right.
Building a new life here is the only way forward.
Because, above all else, you want to make things right with your brother.
And we need to go to that wedding.
Do you understand? I understand.
Come on.
It's bolted from the inside.
Open the door! It's Billy.
BANGING ON DOOR (YELLS) Open this door! It's Billy! Billy! Pleased to see me, are you? SOMBRE MUSIC DIAL TONE Go on.
(WOMAN LAUGHS) TELEPHONE RINGS Drew? It's me, it's Billy.
Where have you been? Down south with Jimmy Mack.
Doing what? Tell you all about it.
I've beenthinking.
I've been out of order and I'm sorry.
I want to try and make things right.
Do you? Come down the Lollipop, we'll have something to eat and talk things through.
Bring me Junior.
And make sure it's kosher.
I can be there about 9.
Grand.
Well done.
Go easy on that stuff and stick to the script.
Yep, yep.
I mean it.
Are you allowed more than one wife? I don't want more than one wife.
One's enough, it's true.
Have you been married? What was it Groucho said? "Marriage is a great institution, "but who wants to live in an institution?" I do.
(SIGHS) I love you, brother, I love you.
Yeah, how come you two didn't tell me you were doing a job together? It was my call.
Do you have a problem with that? As a matter of fact, I do.
Well, my friend, if you paid me the 60 grand you owe me, perhaps I wouldn't be feeling the pinch.
Hey! My big brother told you the score on that already, so you back up.
That was the last time.
I won't trade you every night.
I want to be there at your wedding.
I'm your wee brother.
I want to be there.
Jimmy will come to the church, too.
Otherwise your side's gonna look very thin with just that sad sap there! What do you say? Bruv? What do you say? For Chrissake, Billy, will you go easy on that stuff? At this rate, you'll be in no state tomorrow.
I got us there.
What more do you want? You know well what more.
Give me the bottle, I'll pour you one.
(YELLS) I'll pour you one! I'll plant my head in your face.
Yeah, yeah.
Come on.
Simmer down.
You don't know what I'm going through now.
Actually, I do.
It's like this, Billy - some days you're the statue, some days you're the pigeon.
You're a sarky bastard, you know that? Here.
One more final drink.
TELEPHONE RINGS Yeah? Hawala bankers are often family, right? Yeah.
Check out Shahana's first husband.
I'm told he's in Pakistan.
Could be a link in the chain.
Right.
Salam alaikum.
Alaikum salam.
Please come in.
Do you think that cunning Paki would let our Drew marry her if she wasn't damaged goods? He wouldn't get a look-in.
Try to remember, we're in with your brother right now.
We need to keep it like that.
If he doesn't trust us, he'll give nothing away.
Here.
A marriage gift from us to them.
Who'd have thunk it? Billy Johnstone, rat bastard, huh? I've worn a wire lots of times, Billy, and I'm telling you now, it always gets to you.
There are gonna be people there today who would love an excuse to chop off our balls.
So .
.
keep your focus.
Right.
Come on.
Come in.
Please, come in.
All family and friends.
This is my brother Shahid.
Salam alaikum.
And this is my brother, Hussein.
This is Mr Johnstone, everybody.
Pull off at the next exit.
BILLY: Right.
Watch your speed.
Right.
(MAN PREACHES) All praises are for Allah.
We seek guidance and forgiveness from him.
We also seek refuge in him from the evils of ourselves.
Whoever Allah guides, no-one can misguide him.
Oh, men, fear Allah, in whose name you plead for rights.
And heed the ties of kinship.
Surely Allah is ever watchful of you.
Shahana? Do you accept Drew Johnstone as your husband? Yes.
Shahana, do you accept Drew Johnstone as your husband? Yes.

Please.
Sign the register.
Congratulations.
Welcome to the family, son-in-law.
APPLAUSE Now we can do business together! Congratulations.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Some damaged goods, eh? May Allah keep your souls safe in his hands, and send his angels to guard you and guide you and bless your marriage with trust and joy and every good thing.
Please.
OK, that's enough.
Come say hello to the boys! LAUGHTER Go over there.
Get close to Mo.
Go on.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
It never stops, does it? Wish it would - if only for today.
Do you know the two rules for success in business? No.
One, never tell them everything you know.
Drew, congratulations.
Thanks, Jimmy.
This is for you.
Thank you.
Billy! It's not done, Billy.
What? I was gonna give her a wee kiss on the cheek.
Sorry.
Sorry! You're an idiot.
I can't give her a peck on the cheek? What's that all about? That's not the way.
But you can't accept that, can you? You had to try it on.
Well, if they don't like the British way they shouldn't come here! She should wear one of them things over her face if she doesn't want to be looked at by a man! DREW: It's not about being looked at and you know it! Get real! You don't think I'm being for real? You try me.
Why? What's that supposed to mean? Huh? I'll make sure it doesn't turn ugly.
They have to have it out.
I'll tell you what my problem is.
And this has been my problem for a wee while now.
I know absolutely nothing.
I haven't a clue what's going on.
I have a way of getting our money out of Belfast.
Thank you.
How? It's an underground bagging system.
Asian thing.
That doesn't concern you.
Fact is, Mo's gonna do it for me.
Mo? Yeah, Mo.
He'll introduce me to his family banker who'll simply hand the cash over Back up a bit.
What banker? Look, it doesn't matter! What you need to know is with my share I'm going into a business venture with Mo.
What sort of business? Redevelopment.
Where? Between the Hardwick Road and the Garritay.
Whole lot's coming down.
What? We're clearing the place, for shops, apartments The Garritay? Aye! What about the Lollipop? It's going.
It's Thatbastard! Zigaboo bastard! That zigaboo bastard through there in the house has got you brainwashed! My thinking has never been clearer.
Now, when we get the money, I'm gonna split it 50/50 with you.
And then I want you away from here! My future's with Shahana, little Navid, and Drew Junior, if he wants.
Hey, how do you know Shahana and Navid and all them through there are not gonna rip you off? (YELLS) Because they're my family now! (SCREAMS) Well, fuck you, you turncoat.
Billy? Leave it, leave it.
Billy? Billy? Billy? Billy! TYRES SQUEAL Shit! The Mercedes is on the move.
(SOBS) Argh! (SOBBING) What the hell is that? He's crying.
How fucking pathetic.
Whining pussy.
(CONTINUES SOBBING) CRACKLING AUDIO We've lost him.
It's alright, mate.
You're alright.
You're alright.
SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC Shit.
I'll need a change of clothes.
Right.
Abdul Said Rahman.
Shahana's married name? Exactly so.
We think he's her ex-husband's uncle.
He was at the wedding, in deep conversation with Mo.
That's our hundi banker.
Shahana knows it.
Drew's pissed off Billy in the belief that he's now tight with Mo.
He sees a whole new life ahead of him, a good life filled with light and hope.
I don't think he even knows this guy's the hawaladar.
So what else is Drew in the dark about? What else does Mo Khan have in store for him? Clothes, Bash! Right.
We don't know where Naim Khan is, or what's happened to him.
You need to go after Mo.
I need to get back on the street and find Billy.
We're already circulating photographs.
Helmets will pick him up.
You could have every helmet looking for Billy.
I'll put money on me getting to him first.
Or him getting to you.
Same difference.
My hawaladar is communicating with Zia Zamblathoran of Belfast, to confirm that Zia is holding the sum we've talked about.
The money was deposited with him more than a week ago.
Good.
Good.
When my man here is entirely satisfied, he will release the cash to you.
Then you can make the investment we've planned for.
Is he here today? Are you gonna introduce me? Not yet.
There'sone other small matter.
We have to move forward quickly with this development.
In these situations, there are people who are .
.
unreasonable.
They can't accept the future.
They will not move forward.
They obstruct progress.
There are some in the Hardwick Road I'm dealing with now.
You have done this sort of thing before in Belfast, I know.
So it won't be difficult for you.
Sorry? What won't be difficult for me? Clearing the Garritay Estate of the white trash that lives there.
Mo, I've been trying very hard for the last 18 months, two years, to put behind me the violence of my past.
Who do you think you're talking to? Hm? Your bloody pet Somali? I know what you got up to back home - the knee-cappings, the beatings, the executions - this is not negotiable.
II can't send my men into that estate.
It has to be done by you and your people, or your money will never leave Belfast.
Mo, please I have said what I have to say.
Now, come.
Enjoy the rest of the day.
Thanks.
Thanks.
OK? Yeah.

Probably tonight.
Place reeked of bleach.
I'll text you directions.
It's a potential murder scene.
Naim.
It needs to be secured.
Right.
What do you think he's up to? Tying up his ends, covering his tracks, getting ready to blow.
I'll wait here, see if he shows.
SOFT POLICE RADIO Jim! Sir? Traffic have found a blue transit van dumped and torched out near Stoughton.
Cloned plates on it.
There are some half-burned training shoes in the rear.
Fax across a photo of the print from the lock-up.
Here, if we put him here Apparently the trainer from the van looks a good match for the print you took from the lock-up.
Are you there? Yeah, I'm here.
It's a very distinctive pattern, an expensive cross-trainer.
And matches the shoes Naim Khan was wearing when he went missing? Yeah.
Christ.
So where's he going now? What's he after? What does he want? It's the money - Billy will want to get to the money and get to Mo's banker.
But who can lead him there? Who's in the know? Jesus.
Do you want this one over here? DOOR CREAKS Drew? (SCREAMS) (GRUNTS) (SCREAMS) (GRUNTS AGGRESSIVELY) I want the name and address of your daddy's hundi banker.

I don't know the number.
What colour is his door? Ah What colour is his door? Purple! It's purple! (CRIES OUT) Don't you go near him.
(GROWLS) (SOBS) What is it? Mo, speak to me.
I have contacts with the local police force.
They have found a van containing some half-burned clothes, shoes.
They belong to Naim.
Have you seen them? No.
The police, you know how they work.
It will be days before they approach anyone.
I know my son is dead.
Mo, that's I know my son is dead.
And I know who killed him.
The burnt-out van was blue.
A Ford transit van.
Your brother has a transit van.
Your brother was driving that van near where my son was last seen that night.
Where is he? I don't know.
You can't protect him.
He's a dead man walking.
If you find him, bring him to me.
It's a matter of honour.
SOBBING (SCREAMS) It's OK.
I'm a police officer.
I'm a police officer.
It's alright.
Look at the warrant card, Shahana.
Look.
Do you understand? Shahana, did Billy do this to you? Did you give him the name of the hawaladar? And the address? Shahana, listen to me.
Do you know where Drew is? No.
Shahana, don't call him.
If he knows that Billy has done this to you, he will kill him.
Shahana, listen.
I know Drew is for real.
I know he loves you.
But if you tell him, he will kill Billy.
He'll throw it all away.
It's alright.
The police are coming.
You're safe.
It's OK.
Don't call him.
You're safe.

What have you done, Billy? What have you done? I've got our money! You laid your hands on my wife.
I know.
And that's terrible.
Terrible.
I had to.
I had to, to get our money.
You'd have never gotten it from that double-crossing piece of shite Paki.
This is ours, Drew.
This! That's what we worked for.
We can go away, we can leave this place.
We can leave this place together.
That's the end of the road, Billy.
Bought and sold and done for.
Looks like they're in Unit 4.
Stay outside! Drew will kill him.
I'm going in.
When did you kill Naim Khan? What? The police found your van, with his clothes in the back.
Half-burned.
Why did you do that? I never touched him.
I never laid a finger on him! (SHOUTS) Now this is our money! I got our money! That's what matters! Is that what matters? That's not what matters to Mo Khan.
It's not what matters to me.
What matters is the man who killed his son, my wife's brother, is punished.
(SNORTS) What the hell are you doing? Mo wants me to hand you over to him.
You know what that means.
Sure, you'd never do that.
You'd never take someone else's part against your own flesh and blood.
He was nothing.
You'd never shoot your own brother.
(SCREAMS) Holy fuck! There's been a gunshot.
I'm going in.
Leave your line open.

I've been working undercover from the get-go.
The drugs deal was a set-up.
We let your son run as a way of getting me face-to-face with you.
You thought I was behind it? Everybody thought you were behind it.
Who wouldn't, given your past? What do you think now? I think you've changed.
Can't change.
Not allowed to change.
Not true.
How did you know my Junior was behind the drug deal? Ask your brother.
Why would I do that? Ask him.
I will put a bullet through your fucking heart, copper, I swear it.
My cover was blown.
He followed me to Belfast, and tried to kill me.
We flipped him there.
What a rotten day's work that was.
Shut your mouth.
Shut your mouth! That's a load of shite.
Now, there's a hundred grand in this bag.
We can go away, just the two of us, like the old days.
A hundred grand, Drew! I had 12 million coming in, Billy.
Laundered.
Clean.
The investment property.
12 mil! We could have been legit.
We would have been businessmen.

I will burn their fucking house down.
No-one needs to die here, Drew.
Not Billy, not you, not me.
We just lay our weapons down.
Don't do it, Drew.
Do not pull that trigger.
Think of the reckoning.
The final judgment.
Think of Shahana.
Don't throw it all away.

That looks grand.
When are we going home? Got your story all sorted? I'll have plenty of time on the ferry with laughing boy to get it straight.
We should offer Drew his taste from the jump up.
I thought 10 grand.
Bit steep.
He knows how much 25,000 sleeves of fags go for.
Not sure if the new Drew will accept it.
"The new Drew"? He could always offer it as a marriage gift.
Might help get us invited.
I'll see you back there.
Have a nice flight.
Oh, I will.
FERRY HORN BLOWS SEAGULLS SQUAWK Come on.

Nah, he was in the Kashmir restaurant when I first met Mo and now he's here - worth checking out.
Mm.
What are you gonna do about the Polish girl? I mean, you said she's bright.
So if she's the one who's read the report to Billy, maybe she's worked it out.
Maybe she has.
I'll play it by ear.
Tell me this is not thrill-seeking.
This is not thrill-seeking.
Oh, thanks a lot.
I feel a great deal better (!) Tell me it's not about your family.
Look.

So you know what I have to do.
Follow the money.
And for that, I have to be back on the plot, shackled to Nutty Bollocks, at Drew's side.
This has nothing to do with thrill-seeking.
Here you go.
You might have washed it for me.
Any joy on the guy from the restaurant? Not yet, but we're working on it.
Is there anything you need me to do for you? Raise your game.
CAR ENGINE STARTS So it's good to be back, right? What? For Christ's sake, we've been over this 50 times.
Ohyeah.
Right.
Sorry.
You know now that Drew is right.
Building a new life here is the only way forward.
Because, above all else, you want to make things right with your brother.
And we need to go to that wedding.
Do you understand? I understand.
Come on.
It's bolted from the inside.
Open the door! It's Billy.

Do you? Come down the Lollipop, we'll have something to eat and talk things through.
Bring me Junior.
And make sure it's kosher.
I can be there about 9.
Grand.
Well done.
Go easy on that stuff and stick to the script.
Yep, yep.
I mean it.
Are you allowed more than one wife? I don't want more than one wife.
One's enough, it's true.
Have you been married? What was it Groucho said? "Marriage is a great institution, "but who wants to live in an institution?" I do.
(SIGHS) I love you, brother, I love you.
Yeah, how come you two didn't tell me you were doing a job together? It was my call.
Do you have a problem with that? As a matter of fact, I do.
Well, my friend, if you paid me the 60 grand you owe me, perhaps I wouldn't be feeling the pinch.
Hey! My big brother told you the score on that already, so you back up.
That was the last time.
I won't trade you every night.
I want to be there at your wedding.
I'm your wee brother.
I want to be there.
Jimmy will come to the church, too.
Otherwise your side's gonna look very thin with just that sad sap there! What do you say? Bruv? What do you say? For Chrissake, Billy, will you go easy on that stuff? At this rate, you'll be in no state tomorrow.
I got us there.
What more do you want? You know well what more.
Give me the bottle, I'll pour you one.
(YELLS) I'll pour you one! I'll plant my head in your face.
Yeah, yeah.
Come on.
Simmer down.
You don't know what I'm going through now.

You're a sarky bastard, you know that? Here.
One more final drink.
TELEPHONE RINGS Yeah? Hawala bankers are often family, right? Yeah.
Check out Shahana's first husband.

Could be a link in the chain.
Right.
Salam alaikum.

Do you think that cunning Paki would let our Drew marry her if she wasn't damaged goods? He wouldn't get a look-in.
Try to remember, we're in with your brother right now.
We need to keep it like that.
If he doesn't trust us, he'll give nothing away.
Here.
A marriage gift from us to them.

Drew, congratulations.
Thanks, Jimmy.
This is for you.
Thank you.
Billy! It's not done, Billy.
What? I was gonna give her a wee kiss on the cheek.
Sorry.
Sorry! You're an idiot.
I can't give her a peck on the cheek? What's that all about? That's not the way.
But you can't accept that, can you? You had to try it on.
Well, if they don't like the British way they shouldn't come here! She should wear one of them things over her face if she doesn't want to be looked at by a man! DREW: It's not about being looked at and you know it! Get real! You don't think I'm being for real? You try me.
Why? What's that supposed to mean? Huh? I'll make sure it doesn't turn ugly.
They have to have it out.
I'll tell you what my problem is.
And this has been my problem for a wee while now.
I know absolutely nothing.
I haven't a clue what's going on.
I have a way of getting our money out of Belfast.
Thank you.
How? It's an underground bagging system.
Asian thing.
That doesn't concern you.
Fact is, Mo's gonna do it for me.
Mo? Yeah, Mo.
He'll introduce me to his family banker who'll simply hand the cash over Back up a bit.
What banker? Look, it doesn't matter! What you need to know is with my share I'm going into a business venture with Mo.
What sort of business? Redevelopment.
Where? Between the Hardwick Road and the Garritay.
Whole lot's coming down.
What? We're clearing the place, for shops, apartments The Garritay? Aye! What about the Lollipop? It's going.
It's Thatbastard! Zigaboo bastard! That zigaboo bastard through there in the house has got you brainwashed! My thinking has never been clearer.
Now, when we get the money, I'm gonna split it 50/50 with you.
And then I want you away from here! My future's with Shahana, little Navid, and Drew Junior, if he wants.
Hey, how do you know Shahana and Navid and all them through there are not gonna rip you off? (YELLS) Because they're my family now! (SCREAMS) Well, fuck you, you turncoat.
Billy? Leave it, leave it.
Billy? Billy? Billy? Billy! TYRES SQUEAL Shit! The Mercedes is on the move.

It's alright, mate.
You're alright.
You're alright.
SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC Shit.
I'll need a change of clothes.
Right.
Abdul Said Rahman.
Shahana's married name? Exactly so.
We think he's her ex-husband's uncle.
He was at the wedding, in deep conversation with Mo.
That's our hundi banker.
Shahana knows it.
Drew's pissed off Billy in the belief that he's now tight with Mo.
He sees a whole new life ahead of him, a good life filled with light and hope.
I don't think he even knows this guy's the hawaladar.
So what else is Drew in the dark about? What else does Mo Khan have in store for him? Clothes, Bash! Right.
We don't know where Naim Khan is, or what's happened to him.
You need to go after Mo.
I need to get back on the street and find Billy.
We're already circulating photographs.
Helmets will pick him up.
You could have every helmet looking for Billy.
I'll put money on me getting to him first.
Or him getting to you.
Same difference.
My hawaladar is communicating with Zia Zamblathoran of Belfast, to confirm that Zia is holding the sum we've talked about.
The money was deposited with him more than a week ago.
Good.
Good.
When my man here is entirely satisfied, he will release the cash to you.
Then you can make the investment we've planned for.
Is he here today? Are you gonna introduce me? Not yet.
There'sone other small matter.
We have to move forward quickly with this development.
In these situations, there are people who are .
.
unreasonable.
They can't accept the future.
They will not move forward.
They obstruct progress.
There are some in the Hardwick Road I'm dealing with now.
You have done this sort of thing before in Belfast, I know.
So it won't be difficult for you.
Sorry? What won't be difficult for me? Clearing the Garritay Estate of the white trash that lives there.
Mo, I've been trying very hard for the last 18 months, two years, to put behind me the violence of my past.
Who do you think you're talking to? Hm? Your bloody pet Somali? I know what you got up to back home - the knee-cappings, the beatings, the executions - this is not negotiable.
II can't send my men into that estate.
It has to be done by you and your people, or your money will never leave Belfast.
Mo, please I have said what I have to say.
Now, come.
Enjoy the rest of the day.
Thanks.
Thanks.
OK? Yeah.
