[woman] Hi.
- What you sayin'? You good?
- [woman] Yeah, good.
Okay. Get that door shut.
I know I say it all the time,
but no one's here?
Nah. [chuckles]
- That's you.
- Oh, wow. Thank you.
- Won't be a sec.
- Okay.
[clattering]
It's a lot more than usual.
- Yeah, go on, give us some back, then.
- [laughs] Nah.
We good?
- Yeah, good.
- All right.
How much is down there?
- [Sully sighs]
- [chuckles]
No questions, remember?
Well, I'm the one stashing it.
That's not part of our deal, is it?
- No questions.
- Okay.
Do you wanna stay for a drink?
Let's not fuck it up.
Mm.
Kieron's comin' soon though. Yeah?
- Mm-hm.
- So stick around.
He's gonna be about a hour.
Hour or two, somethin' like that.
- Cool.
- All right, later on.
- Bye.
- Mm.
[woman chuckles]
- [Kieron] Wagwan, bro?
- Yo, Kieron.
- What you sayin'?
- It's here waitin' for you, mate.
Yeah, yeah.
I told her you'd be about an hour or so,
so don't be too long.
All right, then.
Same place.
- Take about two for the trip.
- All right, then.
All right, cool. Call me up.
Bruv,
better have some good news for me,
'cause I need that right now.
Lizzie flew last week
from Stansted to Dublin.
Fuck's sake.
Bro, where is she now?
My man says he can find her,
but it's gonna cost you another 20.
Twenty fuckin' grand?
What do you want me to tell him?
Bruv, I want you to tell him
that he's having a fuckin' laugh!
I can. Not gonna help you find her,
but if that's what you want
Fuck!
I can tell him.
Listen, tell him
he can have his fuckin' 20 grand,
but the very fuckin' second
he finds her, yeah,
I wanna be the first one to know,
do you understand?
I got it.
Don't fuck with me, you know.
[mouths] Fuck.
Yeah, he's up for it.
Yeah, just let me know
as soon as possible.
[rustling]
[Kieron] All done.
- No, I don't know about that no more.
- A few months?
- [Kieron] Yo.
- Like I was telling him.
- Yo.
- Wagwan?
[Samsi] Wagwan?
[Kieron] Take that.
- Go on, cut up.
- Love, bro.
Love.
- You good?
- [Bradders] Yeah, yeah, calm.
- Hi, Crystal.
- Hi.
["POUNDS & EUROS"
by Jordy (feat. Elt Cheekz) playing]
[Romy speaking indistinctly]
I can't believe this.
You know what we did for you
when Immigration came.
We rolled out for you.
Got ourselves dragged about by police.
Put ourselves at risk.
And this is how you repay us?
What, you're sellin' drugs
to schoolkids now?
[scoffs] I'm ashamed of you, bro.
- I'm ashamed of all of you.
- [Arlo] Ah.
Miss us with the Malcolm X fuckery, I beg.
Ay, shut your mouth, man.
[scoffs]
- You know about the protest tomorrow?
- Yeah.
Try to be there and support your community
instead of fuckin' it up
with this bullshit.
[laughing]
[birdsong]
Jamie
[sighs]
I hope you're cool, bro.
Just Just come to check on you.
And I got some news for you. [chuckles]
Erin's been on man differently.
Like, it's mad.
So I'm just lettin' you know that
it's that time.
You get me?
Just comin' to tell you
so you know I'm being sensible and safe
like you always say to me and Aaron.
And on that note,
you know me, I gotta cut, bro.
Can't leave the ladies waitin'.
You get me?
[melancholy ambient music playing]
Love, bro.
Love.
[exhales]
[doorbell rings]
Jaq, it's Mandy, babe.
[kisses teeth]
- [Mandy] I bought you some food.
- [Jaq sighs heavily]
- [Mandy] You're good?
- Mm.
I bought you some stewed chicken
from Junior's.
Told me to send
his condolences for Lauryn.
I also got you some fruit from Ridley's.
Love for that.
Nah, it's a minor, sis.
Where's the baby?
With Becks at hers.
It can't be good for you,
locking yourself away like this, alone.
I just need to be by myself for a bit.
Jaq,
I hope you're not losin'
that champion swag of yours.
Better than facin' a world full
of bullshit at the minute, I can't lie.
When I was in pen
You know what I got done for, right?
Manslaughter.
But a man died, and he shouldn't be dead.
And the fact is,
I was fully involved, innit.
First few years, I couldn't accept
responsibility for what I did.
What are you tryna say here?
Jaq, I'm gonna say it clear
because it needs to be said.
Beautiful Lauryn's dead
because she took drugs that you sell.
- [gasps]
- Get out!
Slappin' me ain't gonna change that.
Get the fuck outta my yard!
It's too late for Lauryn,
but it ain't too late for her baby.
[melancholy ambient music playing]
[front door opens]
[door closes]
[music continues]
[Shelley] Hey, Naomi.
I'll be in a little bit later today.
There's somethin' I need to do.
Yeah, yeah. All good. Um
Look, I don't know how long I'll need,
but I shouldn't be too long.
All right. Thanks, Naomi.
I really appreciate it.
Okay. Bye.

[engine starts]
[Jaq sighs]
Where was you this mornin'?
What?
Sully and Dushane get their food
off the Irish, yeah?
Yeah.
So where did you meet 'em?
Highbury or Stamford Hill?
Uh, Highbury.
Why?
Nothin'.
[sighs] Listen, Jaq.
I know bare people are comin' up to you
and saying all that cliché shit
when they've never been there for you,
but you're my fuckin' family.
And so was Lauryn.
And I mean that shit.
Anything happenin', anything,
then just fuckin' shout me.
Yeah?
I'm being serious, you know.
- Sure you're gonna be all right, though?
- Yeah, man. I'll be sweet.
[sniffles] All right, bro.
- Love.
- Yeah. Love.
[Jaq sighs]
[engine starts]
[tense ambient music playing]
[keys jingle]
[car doors unlock]

- Shit.
[Mandy] Erin!
I'm comin', Mum! Just tidyin' my room!
[thumping upstairs]
Erin!
You can't hear me calling you?

Stop packin'. Listen to me.
Listen to me. Listen.
I get it. I get it.
All right? I fucked up.
I've been goin' through some mad shit.
All right?
I've sorted it now.
I'm gonna get you the money. Okay?
It's cool. I promise.
It's not about the money, Dushane.
So what's it about?
It feels like it's about the money to me.
This This is some spoiled shit.
What you doin'? Hm?
First time I tell you no, it's like
I never said yes to you or somethin'.
Is that it? So you're just gonna leave?
You don't get it.
I'm telling you it's not about the money.
If I get you the money right now,
you're gonna go still?
- I guarantee you'll stay.
- Are you listenin' to me?
Are you listenin' to me?
- It's not about the money!
- So what's it about, then?!
- What's it about?!
- [Shelley sighs]
It's not about the money,
but you're packin' your stuff!
Because I can't live like this!
One minute you're in a good mood,
next minute you come home
with fuckin' blood on your hands.
- Think I want my daughter around that?
- What did you think it was gonna be?
When you sat
in my mum's fuckin' house, yeah,
told me you ain't gonna judge me,
you get me, you're ridin'.
What's this?
I do get you, Dushane.
And that's why I'm leavin'.
[unsettling ambient music playing]
[music continues]
[sighs]

Another one on the door.

- [Erin snorts]
Mum, why do you have to be in my business?
Because as my only pickney,
I'll always be up in your business.
Well,
I want you to both make a promise
to each other that you stick to.
First and foremost,
be kind to each other.
You've both got
your own feelings to protect.
But there's somebody else's feelings
in the equation now,
and you need to be respectful of that.
And secondly,
no intimate pictures whatsoever,
especially with your faces in them.
That shit stays online forever.

It weren't me.
Oh, well, then it weren't you, then.
- But if it was you
- I ain't worried.
You should be worryin'
about my money, though.
Well, now the Irish thing's sorted,
the shipment's back.
- Yeah, and half of that's mine.
- Yeah, half is yours.
I said I'll get it to you, and I will.
But when I do
[chuckles]
that's it.
I think we're done 'ere.
You go your way, I'll go mine.
[sighs, chuckles softly]
How about that?
Sounds familiar.
Ain't gotta be no problem, has it?
Didn't think so.
