Bug's in the car.

Sounds like our dentist.
Tommy.
This is my number.
Call me, day or night.
I owe you for keeping your mouth shut there.
Can I go? You've got balls.
Come back to me if you grow a bleedin' brain.
Tell that junkie crack whore not to be talking to me.
I don't know her.
I don't want to know her.
FRAN: Imagine how much gear we can get in this way.
Stupid coppers haven't a clue.
Bingo.
JOHN BOY: What about his house? No-one there except his misses.
Nigel.
I thought that was you.
I want a pipe bomb going in the house.
Alright.
< When his misses is in there.
You light this then you run like fuck.
It's got a proper bop.
Alright.
What? He wants me to me pipe bomb the house when she's there.
What'll I do Darren? Tonight you're mine completely.
You give your love so sweetly.
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes.
But will you love me tomorrow? I'd like to know that your love is a love I can be sure of.
So tell me now and I won't ask again.
Will you still love me tomorrow? So tell me now and I won't ask again.
Will you still love me tomorrow? So can you put a word in for me with yer man? With Nidge? Mm.
What would you do? For money like.
Yeah but what would you do? Fuck off Guinea, will you, for money.
Can I bring me mate along.
I'm not talking about now.
I'm talking about down the road, a year or two.
Yeah but what would you do? I don't know.
Whatever they wanted me to do.
Like what they get you to do.
Yeah but I didn't say what he wants me for, do I? What does he want you for? I don't know.
He'll tell me and I'll do it.
Who does he wants shot? Don't know, whoever.
Pay me for it as well.
Deadly.
I don't care either.
Bang bang, you're dead.
I'm sweating.
That was one of the best fucks of my life.
Top twenty for sure.
That good, was it? Number 19, am I? No.
It was up there.
You know what I mean.
You were in the top ten.
If not higher.
Alright Debs.
How was it? It was alright.
The same.
The usual.
Don't get too relaxed Debbie.
That's when things fuck up.
I know myself.
What are you doing? Don't fuckin' do that here.
Sorry.
Fuck sake.
I'll drop you back to the gaff.
No, I have to go to work.
What now? Yeah.
Janet wants me to cover for someone.
She has me like a battery hen.
I have to hit my targets, lay so many eggs a day.
I'll drop you back there then.
< The consignee is me.
Same address, yes.
Hang on.
Sorry, can I call you back? Can I take your direct line? And it's Gerry, right? Great Gerry.
Thanks.
Are you all sorted? Everything's ready.
I honestly can't see after we get the lidocaine in how anything could go wrong.
It's watertight.
You little bollix.
We have you now.
When will you have that plate sorted for me? I'll give them a call this week.
It should be any day now.
And you've the gold ones for me, don't you? For my bleedin' teeth! I asked you about getting the gold-plated falsies.
Had you there, didn't I.
Had you going.
What do you think I want to look like a bleedin' fuckin'? Know what I mean.
A bleedin' rapper.
Bleedin' fuckin' Jaws.
Jesus Christ.
What are you thinking Gaffer? What? Yeah, I think we should take him in.
PHONE RINGS.
.
Sorry Ciaran, for a second.
Hello.
Hello.
You must be joking.
You're a dirty aul' so and so, you are.
Well I don't know where you heard that but all I can say is come in yourself and see.
That's the best I can tell you.
What the fuck are you doing smokin' in here? Get the fuck.
Go on.
I'll wait for you outside.
Come on in and we'll look after you.
Ask for me, Janet.
No.
I'm the manager.
No, sure I'd be too old for you.
No.
Alright, we'll see you then.
Fuckin' arseholes.
Don't think I've anything better to be doing than listening to their shite talk.
You can get fucked Debbie, if you think you can pull that face with me.
What face Janet? I'm not doing anything.
The fuckin' sad face on you there.
I can see what you're doing.
You've only got yourself to blame.
I have the numbers of all of what you owe me.
If you want to go through it with me you can.
I'll sit you down and we can go through it.
No.
Sorry.
I'm tired Janet.
Sorry.
We're all fuckin tired, aren't we.
Tired! You're fuckin' gas Debbie, you are.
If you stayed away from the shit you'd have enough money for whatever you wanted.
Sure Denise is going back to college.
She's a total bitch.
I hate her.
She's not that bad.
She's a fuckin' bitch.
She keeps docking my pay for bullshit.
Bitch.
See you later.
See you later.
I think there's a bit of a bump there Nadine.
What are you talking about? On Crystal and Harrison I've never shown.
Right until I was delivering them.
Yeah but this one's mine.
He'll have a bit of meat on his bones.
See you later luv.
The main thing when it comes in is to keep it tight our end.
Go to ground.
Let the coppers think you're on holiday or something.
Just hide out for a couple of days, make sure none of us are getting followed.
Yer man was saying his aul' lad's company has been going for 25 years.
So it's not going to set off any alarm bells going through customs.
I know yeah.
That's what I wanted from him.
In fairness to you Nidgy, you can spot them.
He's got all the paperwork and he's on the phone there.
I'm telling you.
The aul' one used to laugh at me.
What? My aul' one.
Remember Linda.
Lord have mercy on her.
She used to laugh at me.
I'd be going on about getting a yacht and fucking off to Barbados and she'd be breaking her bollocks laughing at me.
What the fuck are you on about, yachts and bleedin' Barbados.
Wherever you are doll, I told you I'd get there.
Fran.
Ah there you are.
Did you pick the one you wanted young man? Do you know Nidgy, Pat? Howya.
Pat can get you anything you want, gun wise.
Pipe bombs, grenades, anything.
Rocket launchers.
If I can get my hands on them I'll be able to sell them.
I'd sell anything to anybody, you know.
Doesn't matter to me.
> Can I get in the back with him Da? Still in the same place, are you? Might need a few bits and bobs off you.
I do my business with everybody.
I say nothing to nobody.
You know what I mean.
So you know Fran in anyway.
You know him long? Nobody knows nothing.
I keep myself to myself.
That's the way I keep it.
No matter how well I know someone, I don't know them and I say nothing.
Okay? Je connais une fille dans une rue deserte.
Froide comme glace mais aussi savoureuse.
Seche tes pleurs Sunday Girl.
Hey.
J'ai vu ton mec avec un autre fille.
Il semblait dans un autre monde cours te cacher Sunday Girl.
Depeches-toi, depeches-toi et attends.
Toute la semaine absente et pourtant j'attends.
J'ai le cafard, je t'en pris viene voir.
Ce que ton amour represente pour moi.
Elle ne peut s'integrear au monde ouvrier.
Le weekend est quant je sense fierte.
Quant tes reves Sunday Girl.
It's beautiful, isn't it.
Yeah.
I fuckin' hate that bitch.
Thinks she's queen bee now with Nidge fuckin' her.
Imagine having to fuck Nidge to keep your job.
I fucked him.
Have you? What was it like? Nothing.
Couldn't feel him inside me.
No, I couldn't.
I was numb.
I couldn't feel anything after the D&C.
It was only one time.
How come she takes your money? She caught me out at work.
I feel asleep and she said she'd kick me out so I said I'd pay her.
So what does she do? She charges me for keeping her mouth shut and not saying anything.
Fuck that.
How much she takes off you? 20% every week.
No way.
That's a fuckin' rip off.
I know.
You should do something about it.
I know.
I'm going to.
Fuckin' bitch.
Come on, proper.
Come on, up you go.
Are you bollixed? I'm totally banjaxed.
This is what you should be having after your workout.
Repairs the muscle.
Builds it.
Here, you can have one on the house.
What flavour would you like? Strawberry, chocolate, vanilla? < Strawberry.
See you next week.
Yeah.
Alright man.
There's a big load coming in next month if you want to up your order.
Ah yeah.
Will you sort me a decent price if I take the extra weight? Just let us know what you want.
I'll get back onto you.
I was thinking maybe 4 or 5 boxes.
There's loads of them here that likes their white.
It'd be cash up front? Any chance you could do some of it on tick? I'll have to ask Nidge.
So how many do you want, I'll ask him.
Go on.
Cheers pal.
Fuck that shit.
How are you doing, my aul' pal.
Gardai.
You're in a very serious situation.
You know that? You're bringing in this shit with Nidge and all his crew.
Very bad news for you, pal.
Lock it up now and hop in.
We'll see if we can sort this out.
You want to put on your seatbelt there.
Here, look at this.
Elmo.
Nidge must've forgave him for being a fuckin' rat.
Go out the back.
There's a black Mitsubishi Colt outside.
Bring a couple of newspapers with you? Sure I can watch the racing here.
Want me to go with you? No.
I want you to hold on here.
I'll ring you if I'm not coming straight back.
Come on.
Am I being arrested? Let's just grab a cup of tea.
If I'm not being arrested, what are we doing? Trying to help you out here Andrew.
Help you out of this situation.
Do I need to get a solicitor? Do you need a fuckin' solicitor? You've no idea what we have.
We've been monitoring you for the last few weeks.
Meeting up with gougers like Nidge, Fran and fuckin' Elmo every other day.
We've photographs of you meeting them.
That proves nothing.
We've photographs and videos of you bringing in vast quantities of lidocaine, which is a known mixing agent for illicit class A drugs.
It's also used perfectly legitimately in my dental surgery.
What are you doing, pulling out the teeth of elephants? The amount of shit you brought in, it's the only way a court would believe you.
You're hanging out with some heavy people Andrew.
If we arrest you now we can't go back.
I can guarantee you that bringing in industrial quantities of lidocaine is a criminal of fence.
The maximum sentence we'd be recommending would be 10 years.
If you let us know that's what you want to do we'll bring you down to the station, arrest you, question you and you can contact your solicitor and take your chances and who knows, maybe the court will believe this is one big giant miscarriage of justice.
The Dun Laoghaire one.
We're giving you a chance to get out of this situation you're in Andrew.
Will it go to court? Depends on the level of co-operation we get from you.
Would they know? Well we'd hit them after the consignment left your premises so that's the next stage so if that happens, it wouldn't be connected bac to you.
What would you want me to do? We need you to fill in the blanks.
Every detail of how the drugs are being brought in, every single detail of the how, when and where the handover is and if Nidge is going to be there.
You want to co-operate with us? Good man.
It's the right thing to do.
Alright.
Alright.
There's a fair chunk of change there.
Cheers Nidge.
Any more news for me? No.
They brought me in again, usual shite.
I kept saying it was Peter begging me.
Sure they don't know.
He was anyway.
I said to them, ask him yourselves.
So nothing further? No, nothing.
I'm getting the cold shoulder in work so they might think it.
Sure even if I done nothing they'd think that so fuck them.
You know what I mean? I might need you for another job.
Yeah, game ball.
I need a driver.
Going to the workshop.
Be back in an hour.
Where are you going? Can I come with you Da? No, you can stay here.
Ah Patrick, let him go with you.
What's he going to do over there? What are you going to do over there? Alright, come on.
Don't be telling me you're bored now.
I won't.
Hello.
Hello! Go on.
Get in there.
Stay in there.
Hello.
< Is that Patrick? Who is it? < Hello.
Could you not ring me first? < Didn't have your number Pat.
Forgot to get it off you.
Ah there you are.
I passed by the house there.
I was going to stop and get your number and I thought, fuck it, I'll head on.
I'm in the middle of something now.
I wanted to talk to you about the pipe bomb I got off you that time.
I've no interest in what it was used for.
I sell them, that's all.
Ah yeah but come here to me and fuckin' listen to me, alright.
We're going to talk about this.
Where's the fella was here with your the last time? He's not working with me no more.
Where is he? England.
There's no-one else in there with you? No.
That time I got it off you, it was for John Boy Power.
It wasn't for me.
I knew that.
Whatever he wanted to do with it, that was nothing to do with me.
I was just picking it up for him, that's all.
I don't know who it was used against or what.
I've no interest.
People might be getting them off me and using them against each other.
Fran ever ask you about anything? No.
I told you, he'd know nothing.
Look, if there's a problem here let's talk it out.
My job is like a priest here.
You've got to understand that.
Whatever I know stays in the confessional.
Otherwise it wouldn't work.
You're right.
I might put an order in with you in that case.
No problem.
Sort you out.
You have the young fella in there with you.
I thought you said you had no-one in there with you.
There's no-one only my young fella.
Okay.
Okay.
I'll talk to you, alright.
Denise.
Denise, are you awake? Where are you going? I'm not sitting over there like a fool.
If you don't want me here.
.
No.
I want you here.
I just need to sort some shit out.
You're acting like you don't want me here.
Here, I'll get that.
No.
It's a bit of fun.
If that's all it was, that's all it was.
But I'm not leaving.
I'm going to stay and have a fuckin' drink.
You're welcome to come home with me or not.
If yis all want to come back and have an orgy with the girls, I'll collect the money and empty the ash trays.
That's what I do.
I'll say it to you and I'll say it once and you can do whatever you want.
Okay? I want to see you tonight but I don't want to see you in front of the lads.
Not cos I'm ashamed.
You're a beautiful woman, you're smart.
Twice as smart as me and you're kind.
That's the thing most of all, you're kind.
You're not looking for something off me.
If this is a bit of fun, it's the best bit of fun I've ever had.
Fuckin' wild.
You're not yapping all the time.
I can stay with you and rest my head.
Know what I mean.
Fuck off home, will you? I'll ring you as soon as I'm done.
I don't want to be here.
I'm doing it to keep them light.
I'll talk to a few of them, then I'll be over.
Give me a call when you're done.
What's up buddy.
Elmo.
I'm going out for a smoke.
Send that young fella out to me.
Fat-head, he wants you.
How you getting on? Who's your buddy? Guinea.
Glen.
Best mates, are yis? I want you for a job.
What do you think? Yeah.
It's heavy enough.
How does that sound? I'll pay you a few pound.
Enough for a decent second-hand jammer.
Pay me, I'll do it.
Whatever.
Yeah but this is a special one.
Don't want anybody to know about it.
No-one here.
The only person would be you and me.
That's all.
So if you're going to tell your pal Guinea, then he's going to have to go too.
I don't talk to people, even Guinea.
I don't tell him anything.
Think you can do that? Yeah.
I want to.
Andrew, hop in the back and we'll have a chat.
I can't find it.
I knew I had it.
I've put everything I have so far on this for you.
So you have the dates for when it arrives in port? Yes.
What about the next step? After the port? Yeah.
I don't know.
They said that I don't need to know.
So I presume it's the same as last time.
More bad news, is it? Alright luv? You did great.
You did great.
You did the right thing.
We just need to see what the story is here cos we don't want the cops near the other place.
You'd all be out of work.
Am I right? You're upset, are you? Have you much clothes in there? Alright then.
Alright.
You can lend her a few things, yeah? Pick up any pictures, her own stuff she has in there.
Let's get the fuck out of here when we can, alright.
We need to hurry now, Lara luv.
What are we going to do about calling the guards? Who's going to call the cops? The other girls will know.
We'll do a swap with Limerick for Lara.
She'll keep her mouth shut there.
You don't think we could get someone to let their families know? No Janet.
I've enough to be worried about without hassle from the cops.
The biggest hassle I have now is that Debbie was supposed to be doing a little trip for me to England and now what the fuck am I'm going to do? So we just leave them there? Yeah.
You can't do that.
Fuckin' watch me.
It's not fuckin' decent.
The neighbours will be up in a few days.
Let them ring the cops.
I think we should get someone to do it.
Lara, let her do it.
If you ring it it you can fuck off and get another job Janet, cos we'll be closed down.
It's as simple as that.
Fuck sake.
There's two of them here.
The papers will want heads on plates.
It's bad timing for me right now and I can't have it.
Come on.
Come on job.
Jab.
Two, three.
Jab.
Two.
Three.
Four.
One, two, left two.
Two.
I don't want to say who is he Jamesy.
He'll be hassle for ye all.
What if you tell the other fella? Sure it was my pipe bomb that went through his window.
But you didn't throw it.
You only made it.
If I can get out of this without saying a word to anybody, that'd be the thing to do.
You could always cut your losses and move to England tomorrow.
That's a lot easier said than done.
Jamesy, it's a lot different when you've your own children to think about.
It's different for a single man.
Know what I mean.
I need you to keep this to yourself, alright.
Yeah.
Yer one Debbie and the other one.
Denise.
Yeah.
They won't be doing a trip over on the ferry.
Say nothing.
Who do you want to go over? If your Nadine wants to do it.
You said she'd be up for it.
Yeah.
She could do with the extra few bob for herself.
Not have her fuckin' sponging off me.
Thinking that Debbie one was getting a bit too bleedin' cocky to be going alright.
That's when things go wrong.
She started getting too relaxed.
She fucking OD'd.
That's why she's not going.
The two of the dopey bitches did.
That's why.
Have the rest of that if you want.
No, I'm not hungry.
I know I'm a skinny fuck but I eat when I get stressed, you know.
I do.
Regulates your blood sugar levels.
I know it's shitty for their families or whatever but fuck it.
They did it to themselves Janet.
When my sister was 17 and I was 19, she died.
Serious? OD was it? No.
Where does the time go? Don't do it if you're worried.
It's a few pound for yourself.
I'm not worried.
I'm just thinking about it.
If I get caught, who's going to look after the kids? You know what I mean.
Maybe it's better anyway, not to.
I mean you don't want to be having the little nipper inside.
It'd be a bad start for him.
It'd be all downhill after that.
DOORBELL.
How are you Siobhan? Hello little man.
How are you? Tommy will be back in a second.
I have a couple of the lads keeping an eye on him.
They'll let me know when he's on his way back.
You didn't leave any message Siobhan, when you rang my phone.
I feel like I'm wasting your time.
I'm embarrassed.
How's Tommy doing? He goes out walking all the time.
I don't know where he goes.
I keep thinking he's going to top himself.
What makes you think that? That's what I would do.
Is that what you want? For him or for me? I just want him to get better again.
For Leyton.
For me.
Were you thinking I might be able to help you get out, go somewhere? Yeah.
I don't want him to get hurt.
I don't want him near them.
I don't.
They're like bullies in school, only they'll kill him and put him in a hole somewhere.
I know.
I've seen it.
I know.
I know what happens.
And no-one talks about it and you don't know what's real.
And the people who are crying the most are the ones who done it.
You know what I mean? Do you still think it was the Nigerians who put Tommy in hospital? I'm only saying this because I want you to know what you're dealing with.
I thought it was at first.
But then.
.
How did they know? No-one saw anything, there were no witnesses so how did they know who done it to him? That's what I was thinking.
No-one saw so how did they know? And they took him to the hospital.
Darren did.
I know he was angry about it.
I know he was.
He knew.
It was Nidge, wasn't it? Yes, it was.
He got him back for me when Fran took him.
Yeah, well then you've no worries.
You should feel safe.
I'm scared for him.
For Tommy.
You want us to help him? Can you? Tell you what I'll do.
I'd swear now that I'd do my utmost to make sure no harm came upon him.
But I need to know where they might be, if there was anything happening that might put him in any danger.
And you'd protect him? If you kept us one step ahead of them, I would do that Siobhan.
You think you could do that? Yeah.
Are you going to stay in the hotel then? Yeah I am, why? The kids aren't any trouble.
No.
It's just I was going to bring the young fella fishing.
Fishing? For pike.
You don't eat them or anything.
Just fuck the back in.
Unless he wants to eat them.
Who the fuck is going to mind Crystal while you're fishing? Maybe I'll wait till you get back.
Only gone one bleedin' night.
What are you going to do? I'm going to get a good night's sleep without you pawing at me, the kids waking me up and having the bleedin' get up.
Do you know what you have to do? Yeah, I know.
I've done it before.
I'm going to head in and get some magazines.
Do you want to bring the aul' dildo in the suitcase in case you get stopped? I've never heard of that working before.
It works, I've seen it working.
I fuckin' invented it.
Don't forget to pick me up.
BEEPS HORN.
Alright.
The thing we're gonna do.
I hear you've been talking about it and you're dead.
Understand? Yeah.
But if you keep your mouth shut then I'll have work for you.
A lot of work.
Give me the order and I'll do it.
Whatever.
The order is don't fuckin' talk to anybody.
You got it? Yeah.
Good.
This is an in and out job, alright.
Let's go.
< Patrick.
Patrick, open the door will you? Patrick, how are things? Patrick.
Patrick, open the door, will you.
Open the door, for fuck sake.
Patrick open the door.
You're pissing me off now.
Patrick, open the fuckin' door! Fuck.
Need a Hun to rival that fuckin' monster.
Will we go after him? No, we gotta go.
Come on, we gotta go.
DOGS BARKING.
.
Shut the fuck up, will yis! PHONE RINGS.
.
Hey baby.
Are you okay? What happened your face? Should see the other fella.
You look tired.
Yeah, I am.
Come on to bed and I'll mind you.
Come here to me.
I'm shattered, baby.
You talk like Marlene Dietrich.
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire.
Your clothes are all made by Balmain.
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are.
You live in a fancy apartment off the Boulevard St.
Michel.
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records and a friend of Sacha Distel, yes you do.
But where do you go to, my lovely when you're alone in your bed.
Tell me the thoughts that surround you.
I want to look inside your head.
Yes I do.
So look into my face Marie-Claire and remember just who you are.
Then go and forget me forever.
But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside.
Yes you do.
I know where you go to, my lovely, when you're alone in your bed.
I know the thoughts that surround you 'cause I can look inside your head.
: Tracey Carr, RTE 2013.
FRAN: The amount of lido he's bringing in, he could pull out the teeth of half the country.
Sounds like our dentist.
Tommy.
This is my number.
Call me, day or night.
I owe you for keeping your mouth shut there.
Can I go? You've got balls.
Come back to me if you grow a bleedin' brain.
Tell that junkie crack whore not to be talking to me.
I don't know her.
I don't want to know her.
FRAN: Imagine how much gear we can get in this way.
Stupid coppers haven't a clue.
Bingo.
JOHN BOY: What about his house? No-one there except his misses.
Nigel.
I thought that was you.
I want a pipe bomb going in the house.
Alright.
< When his misses is in there.
You light this then you run like fuck.
It's got a proper bop.
Alright.
What? He wants me to me pipe bomb the house when she's there.
What'll I do Darren? Tonight you're mine completely.
You give your love so sweetly.
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes.
But will you love me tomorrow? I'd like to know that your love is a love I can be sure of.
So tell me now and I won't ask again.
Will you still love me tomorrow? So tell me now and I won't ask again.
Will you still love me tomorrow? So can you put a word in for me with yer man? With Nidge? Mm.
What would you do? For money like.
Yeah but what would you do? Fuck off Guinea, will you, for money.
Can I bring me mate along.
I'm not talking about now.
I'm talking about down the road, a year or two.
Yeah but what would you do? I don't know.
Whatever they wanted me to do.
Like what they get you to do.
Yeah but I didn't say what he wants me for, do I? What does he want you for? I don't know.
He'll tell me and I'll do it.
Who does he wants shot? Don't know, whoever.
Pay me for it as well.
Deadly.
I don't care either.
Bang bang, you're dead.
I'm sweating.
That was one of the best fucks of my life.
Top twenty for sure.
That good, was it? Number 19, am I? No.
It was up there.
You know what I mean.
You were in the top ten.
If not higher.
Alright Debs.
How was it? It was alright.
The same.
The usual.
Don't get too relaxed Debbie.
That's when things fuck up.
I know myself.
What are you doing? Don't fuckin' do that here.
Sorry.
Fuck sake.
I'll drop you back to the gaff.
No, I have to go to work.
What now? Yeah.
Janet wants me to cover for someone.
She has me like a battery hen.
I have to hit my targets, lay so many eggs a day.
I'll drop you back there then.
< The consignee is me.
Same address, yes.
Hang on.
Sorry, can I call you back? Can I take your direct line? And it's Gerry, right? Great Gerry.
Thanks.
Are you all sorted? Everything's ready.
I honestly can't see after we get the lidocaine in how anything could go wrong.
It's watertight.
You little bollix.
We have you now.
When will you have that plate sorted for me? I'll give them a call this week.
It should be any day now.
And you've the gold ones for me, don't you? For my bleedin' teeth! I asked you about getting the gold-plated falsies.
Had you there, didn't I.
Had you going.
What do you think I want to look like a bleedin' fuckin'? Know what I mean.
A bleedin' rapper.
Bleedin' fuckin' Jaws.
Jesus Christ.
What are you thinking Gaffer? What? Yeah, I think we should take him in.
PHONE RINGS.
.
Sorry Ciaran, for a second.
Hello.
Hello.
You must be joking.
You're a dirty aul' so and so, you are.
Well I don't know where you heard that but all I can say is come in yourself and see.
That's the best I can tell you.
What the fuck are you doing smokin' in here? Get the fuck.
Go on.
I'll wait for you outside.
Come on in and we'll look after you.
Ask for me, Janet.
No.
I'm the manager.
No, sure I'd be too old for you.
No.
Alright, we'll see you then.
Fuckin' arseholes.
Don't think I've anything better to be doing than listening to their shite talk.
You can get fucked Debbie, if you think you can pull that face with me.
What face Janet? I'm not doing anything.
The fuckin' sad face on you there.
I can see what you're doing.
You've only got yourself to blame.
I have the numbers of all of what you owe me.
If you want to go through it with me you can.
I'll sit you down and we can go through it.
No.
Sorry.
I'm tired Janet.
Sorry.
We're all fuckin tired, aren't we.
Tired! You're fuckin' gas Debbie, you are.
If you stayed away from the shit you'd have enough money for whatever you wanted.
Sure Denise is going back to college.
She's a total bitch.
I hate her.
She's not that bad.
She's a fuckin' bitch.
She keeps docking my pay for bullshit.
Bitch.
See you later.
See you later.
I think there's a bit of a bump there Nadine.
What are you talking about? On Crystal and Harrison I've never shown.
Right until I was delivering them.
Yeah but this one's mine.
He'll have a bit of meat on his bones.
See you later luv.
The main thing when it comes in is to keep it tight our end.
Go to ground.
Let the coppers think you're on holiday or something.
Just hide out for a couple of days, make sure none of us are getting followed.
Yer man was saying his aul' lad's company has been going for 25 years.
So it's not going to set off any alarm bells going through customs.
I know yeah.
That's what I wanted from him.
In fairness to you Nidgy, you can spot them.
He's got all the paperwork and he's on the phone there.
I'm telling you.
The aul' one used to laugh at me.
What? My aul' one.
Remember Linda.
Lord have mercy on her.
She used to laugh at me.
I'd be going on about getting a yacht and fucking off to Barbados and she'd be breaking her bollocks laughing at me.
What the fuck are you on about, yachts and bleedin' Barbados.
Wherever you are doll, I told you I'd get there.
Fran.
Ah there you are.
Did you pick the one you wanted young man? Do you know Nidgy, Pat? Howya.
Pat can get you anything you want, gun wise.
Pipe bombs, grenades, anything.
Rocket launchers.
If I can get my hands on them I'll be able to sell them.
I'd sell anything to anybody, you know.
Doesn't matter to me.
> Can I get in the back with him Da? Still in the same place, are you? Might need a few bits and bobs off you.
I do my business with everybody.
I say nothing to nobody.
You know what I mean.
So you know Fran in anyway.
You know him long? Nobody knows nothing.
I keep myself to myself.
That's the way I keep it.
No matter how well I know someone, I don't know them and I say nothing.
Okay? Je connais une fille dans une rue deserte.
Froide comme glace mais aussi savoureuse.
Seche tes pleurs Sunday Girl.
Hey.
J'ai vu ton mec avec un autre fille.
Il semblait dans un autre monde cours te cacher Sunday Girl.
Depeches-toi, depeches-toi et attends.
Toute la semaine absente et pourtant j'attends.
J'ai le cafard, je t'en pris viene voir.
Ce que ton amour represente pour moi.
Elle ne peut s'integrear au monde ouvrier.
Le weekend est quant je sense fierte.
Quant tes reves Sunday Girl.
It's beautiful, isn't it.
Yeah.
I fuckin' hate that bitch.
Thinks she's queen bee now with Nidge fuckin' her.
Imagine having to fuck Nidge to keep your job.
I fucked him.
Have you? What was it like? Nothing.
Couldn't feel him inside me.
No, I couldn't.
I was numb.
I couldn't feel anything after the D&C.
It was only one time.
How come she takes your money? She caught me out at work.
I feel asleep and she said she'd kick me out so I said I'd pay her.
So what does she do? She charges me for keeping her mouth shut and not saying anything.
Fuck that.
How much she takes off you? 20% every week.
No way.
That's a fuckin' rip off.
I know.
You should do something about it.
I know.
I'm going to.
Fuckin' bitch.
Come on, proper.
Come on, up you go.
Are you bollixed? I'm totally banjaxed.
This is what you should be having after your workout.
Repairs the muscle.
Builds it.
Here, you can have one on the house.
What flavour would you like? Strawberry, chocolate, vanilla? < Strawberry.
See you next week.
Yeah.
Alright man.
There's a big load coming in next month if you want to up your order.
Ah yeah.
Will you sort me a decent price if I take the extra weight? Just let us know what you want.
I'll get back onto you.
I was thinking maybe 4 or 5 boxes.
There's loads of them here that likes their white.
It'd be cash up front? Any chance you could do some of it on tick? I'll have to ask Nidge.
So how many do you want, I'll ask him.
Go on.
Cheers pal.
Fuck that shit.
How are you doing, my aul' pal.
Gardai.
You're in a very serious situation.
You know that? You're bringing in this shit with Nidge and all his crew.
Very bad news for you, pal.
Lock it up now and hop in.
We'll see if we can sort this out.
You want to put on your seatbelt there.
Here, look at this.
Elmo.
Nidge must've forgave him for being a fuckin' rat.
Go out the back.
There's a black Mitsubishi Colt outside.
Bring a couple of newspapers with you? Sure I can watch the racing here.
Want me to go with you? No.
I want you to hold on here.
I'll ring you if I'm not coming straight back.
Come on.
Am I being arrested? Let's just grab a cup of tea.
If I'm not being arrested, what are we doing? Trying to help you out here Andrew.
Help you out of this situation.
Do I need to get a solicitor? Do you need a fuckin' solicitor? You've no idea what we have.
We've been monitoring you for the last few weeks.
Meeting up with gougers like Nidge, Fran and fuckin' Elmo every other day.
We've photographs of you meeting them.
That proves nothing.
We've photographs and videos of you bringing in vast quantities of lidocaine, which is a known mixing agent for illicit class A drugs.
It's also used perfectly legitimately in my dental surgery.
What are you doing, pulling out the teeth of elephants? The amount of shit you brought in, it's the only way a court would believe you.
You're hanging out with some heavy people Andrew.
If we arrest you now we can't go back.
I can guarantee you that bringing in industrial quantities of lidocaine is a criminal of fence.
The maximum sentence we'd be recommending would be 10 years.
If you let us know that's what you want to do we'll bring you down to the station, arrest you, question you and you can contact your solicitor and take your chances and who knows, maybe the court will believe this is one big giant miscarriage of justice.
The Dun Laoghaire one.
We're giving you a chance to get out of this situation you're in Andrew.
Will it go to court? Depends on the level of co-operation we get from you.
Would they know? Well we'd hit them after the consignment left your premises so that's the next stage so if that happens, it wouldn't be connected bac to you.
What would you want me to do? We need you to fill in the blanks.
Every detail of how the drugs are being brought in, every single detail of the how, when and where the handover is and if Nidge is going to be there.
You want to co-operate with us? Good man.
It's the right thing to do.
Alright.
Alright.
There's a fair chunk of change there.
Cheers Nidge.
Any more news for me? No.
They brought me in again, usual shite.
I kept saying it was Peter begging me.
Sure they don't know.
He was anyway.
I said to them, ask him yourselves.
So nothing further? No, nothing.
I'm getting the cold shoulder in work so they might think it.
Sure even if I done nothing they'd think that so fuck them.
You know what I mean? I might need you for another job.
Yeah, game ball.
I need a driver.
Going to the workshop.
Be back in an hour.
Where are you going? Can I come with you Da? No, you can stay here.
Ah Patrick, let him go with you.
What's he going to do over there? What are you going to do over there? Alright, come on.
Don't be telling me you're bored now.
I won't.
Hello.
Hello! Go on.
Get in there.
Stay in there.
Hello.
< Is that Patrick? Who is it? < Hello.
Could you not ring me first? < Didn't have your number Pat.
Forgot to get it off you.
Ah there you are.
I passed by the house there.
I was going to stop and get your number and I thought, fuck it, I'll head on.
I'm in the middle of something now.
I wanted to talk to you about the pipe bomb I got off you that time.
I've no interest in what it was used for.
I sell them, that's all.
Ah yeah but come here to me and fuckin' listen to me, alright.
We're going to talk about this.
Where's the fella was here with your the last time? He's not working with me no more.
Where is he? England.
There's no-one else in there with you? No.
That time I got it off you, it was for John Boy Power.
It wasn't for me.
I knew that.
Whatever he wanted to do with it, that was nothing to do with me.
I was just picking it up for him, that's all.
I don't know who it was used against or what.
I've no interest.
People might be getting them off me and using them against each other.
Fran ever ask you about anything? No.
I told you, he'd know nothing.
Look, if there's a problem here let's talk it out.
My job is like a priest here.
You've got to understand that.
Whatever I know stays in the confessional.
Otherwise it wouldn't work.
You're right.
I might put an order in with you in that case.
No problem.
Sort you out.
You have the young fella in there with you.
I thought you said you had no-one in there with you.
There's no-one only my young fella.
Okay.
Okay.
I'll talk to you, alright.
Denise.
Denise, are you awake? Where are you going? I'm not sitting over there like a fool.
If you don't want me here.
.
No.
I want you here.
I just need to sort some shit out.
You're acting like you don't want me here.
Here, I'll get that.
No.
It's a bit of fun.
If that's all it was, that's all it was.
But I'm not leaving.
I'm going to stay and have a fuckin' drink.
You're welcome to come home with me or not.
If yis all want to come back and have an orgy with the girls, I'll collect the money and empty the ash trays.
That's what I do.
I'll say it to you and I'll say it once and you can do whatever you want.
Okay? I want to see you tonight but I don't want to see you in front of the lads.
Not cos I'm ashamed.
You're a beautiful woman, you're smart.
Twice as smart as me and you're kind.
That's the thing most of all, you're kind.
You're not looking for something off me.
If this is a bit of fun, it's the best bit of fun I've ever had.
Fuckin' wild.
You're not yapping all the time.
I can stay with you and rest my head.
Know what I mean.
Fuck off home, will you? I'll ring you as soon as I'm done.
I don't want to be here.
I'm doing it to keep them light.
I'll talk to a few of them, then I'll be over.
Give me a call when you're done.
What's up buddy.
Elmo.
I'm going out for a smoke.
Send that young fella out to me.
Fat-head, he wants you.
How you getting on? Who's your buddy? Guinea.
Glen.
Best mates, are yis? I want you for a job.
What do you think? Yeah.
It's heavy enough.
How does that sound? I'll pay you a few pound.
Enough for a decent second-hand jammer.
Pay me, I'll do it.
Whatever.
Yeah but this is a special one.
Don't want anybody to know about it.
No-one here.
The only person would be you and me.
That's all.
So if you're going to tell your pal Guinea, then he's going to have to go too.
I don't talk to people, even Guinea.
I don't tell him anything.
Think you can do that? Yeah.
I want to.
Andrew, hop in the back and we'll have a chat.
I can't find it.
I knew I had it.
I've put everything I have so far on this for you.
So you have the dates for when it arrives in port? Yes.
What about the next step? After the port? Yeah.
I don't know.
They said that I don't need to know.
So I presume it's the same as last time.
More bad news, is it? Alright luv? You did great.
You did great.
You did the right thing.
We just need to see what the story is here cos we don't want the cops near the other place.
You'd all be out of work.
Am I right? You're upset, are you? Have you much clothes in there? Alright then.
Alright.
You can lend her a few things, yeah? Pick up any pictures, her own stuff she has in there.
Let's get the fuck out of here when we can, alright.
We need to hurry now, Lara luv.
What are we going to do about calling the guards? Who's going to call the cops? The other girls will know.
We'll do a swap with Limerick for Lara.
She'll keep her mouth shut there.
You don't think we could get someone to let their families know? No Janet.
I've enough to be worried about without hassle from the cops.
The biggest hassle I have now is that Debbie was supposed to be doing a little trip for me to England and now what the fuck am I'm going to do? So we just leave them there? Yeah.
You can't do that.
Fuckin' watch me.
It's not fuckin' decent.
The neighbours will be up in a few days.
Let them ring the cops.
I think we should get someone to do it.
Lara, let her do it.
If you ring it it you can fuck off and get another job Janet, cos we'll be closed down.
It's as simple as that.
Fuck sake.
There's two of them here.
The papers will want heads on plates.
It's bad timing for me right now and I can't have it.
Come on.
Come on job.
Jab.
Two, three.
Jab.
Two.
Three.
Four.
One, two, left two.
Two.
I don't want to say who is he Jamesy.
He'll be hassle for ye all.
What if you tell the other fella? Sure it was my pipe bomb that went through his window.
But you didn't throw it.
You only made it.
If I can get out of this without saying a word to anybody, that'd be the thing to do.
You could always cut your losses and move to England tomorrow.
That's a lot easier said than done.
Jamesy, it's a lot different when you've your own children to think about.
It's different for a single man.
Know what I mean.
I need you to keep this to yourself, alright.
Yeah.
Yer one Debbie and the other one.
Denise.
Yeah.
They won't be doing a trip over on the ferry.
Say nothing.
Who do you want to go over? If your Nadine wants to do it.
You said she'd be up for it.
Yeah.
She could do with the extra few bob for herself.
Not have her fuckin' sponging off me.
Thinking that Debbie one was getting a bit too bleedin' cocky to be going alright.
That's when things go wrong.
She started getting too relaxed.
She fucking OD'd.
That's why she's not going.
The two of the dopey bitches did.
That's why.
Have the rest of that if you want.
No, I'm not hungry.
I know I'm a skinny fuck but I eat when I get stressed, you know.
I do.
Regulates your blood sugar levels.
I know it's shitty for their families or whatever but fuck it.
They did it to themselves Janet.
When my sister was 17 and I was 19, she died.
Serious? OD was it? No.
Where does the time go? Don't do it if you're worried.
It's a few pound for yourself.
I'm not worried.
I'm just thinking about it.
If I get caught, who's going to look after the kids? You know what I mean.
Maybe it's better anyway, not to.
I mean you don't want to be having the little nipper inside.
It'd be a bad start for him.
It'd be all downhill after that.
DOORBELL.
How are you Siobhan? Hello little man.
How are you? Tommy will be back in a second.
I have a couple of the lads keeping an eye on him.
They'll let me know when he's on his way back.
You didn't leave any message Siobhan, when you rang my phone.
I feel like I'm wasting your time.
I'm embarrassed.
How's Tommy doing? He goes out walking all the time.
I don't know where he goes.
I keep thinking he's going to top himself.
What makes you think that? That's what I would do.
Is that what you want? For him or for me? I just want him to get better again.
For Leyton.
For me.
Were you thinking I might be able to help you get out, go somewhere? Yeah.
I don't want him to get hurt.
I don't want him near them.
I don't.
They're like bullies in school, only they'll kill him and put him in a hole somewhere.
I know.
I've seen it.
I know.
I know what happens.
And no-one talks about it and you don't know what's real.
And the people who are crying the most are the ones who done it.
You know what I mean? Do you still think it was the Nigerians who put Tommy in hospital? I'm only saying this because I want you to know what you're dealing with.
I thought it was at first.
But then.
.
How did they know? No-one saw anything, there were no witnesses so how did they know who done it to him? That's what I was thinking.
No-one saw so how did they know? And they took him to the hospital.
Darren did.
I know he was angry about it.
I know he was.
He knew.
It was Nidge, wasn't it? Yes, it was.
He got him back for me when Fran took him.
Yeah, well then you've no worries.
You should feel safe.
I'm scared for him.
For Tommy.
You want us to help him? Can you? Tell you what I'll do.
I'd swear now that I'd do my utmost to make sure no harm came upon him.
But I need to know where they might be, if there was anything happening that might put him in any danger.
And you'd protect him? If you kept us one step ahead of them, I would do that Siobhan.
You think you could do that? Yeah.
Are you going to stay in the hotel then? Yeah I am, why? The kids aren't any trouble.
No.
It's just I was going to bring the young fella fishing.
Fishing? For pike.
You don't eat them or anything.
Just fuck the back in.
Unless he wants to eat them.
Who the fuck is going to mind Crystal while you're fishing? Maybe I'll wait till you get back.
Only gone one bleedin' night.
What are you going to do? I'm going to get a good night's sleep without you pawing at me, the kids waking me up and having the bleedin' get up.
Do you know what you have to do? Yeah, I know.
I've done it before.
I'm going to head in and get some magazines.
Do you want to bring the aul' dildo in the suitcase in case you get stopped? I've never heard of that working before.
It works, I've seen it working.
I fuckin' invented it.
Don't forget to pick me up.
BEEPS HORN.
Alright.
The thing we're gonna do.
I hear you've been talking about it and you're dead.
Understand? Yeah.
But if you keep your mouth shut then I'll have work for you.
A lot of work.
Give me the order and I'll do it.
Whatever.
The order is don't fuckin' talk to anybody.
You got it? Yeah.
Good.
This is an in and out job, alright.
Let's go.
< Patrick.
Patrick, open the door will you? Patrick, how are things? Patrick.
Patrick, open the door, will you.
Open the door, for fuck sake.
Patrick open the door.
You're pissing me off now.
Patrick, open the fuckin' door! Fuck.
Need a Hun to rival that fuckin' monster.
Will we go after him? No, we gotta go.
Come on, we gotta go.
DOGS BARKING.
.
Shut the fuck up, will yis! PHONE RINGS.
.
Hey baby.
Are you okay? What happened your face? Should see the other fella.
You look tired.
Yeah, I am.
Come on to bed and I'll mind you.
Come here to me.
I'm shattered, baby.
You talk like Marlene Dietrich.
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire.
Your clothes are all made by Balmain.
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are.
You live in a fancy apartment off the Boulevard St.
Michel.
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records and a friend of Sacha Distel, yes you do.
But where do you go to, my lovely when you're alone in your bed.
Tell me the thoughts that surround you.
I want to look inside your head.
Yes I do.
So look into my face Marie-Claire and remember just who you are.
Then go and forget me forever.
But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside.
Yes you do.
I know where you go to, my lovely, when you're alone in your bed.
I know the thoughts that surround you 'cause I can look inside your head.
