Tickets this way for the Chatsworth Express.
Come and watch pikeys making a mess of the lives
they were given.
By him upstairs.
And kids they're convinced aren't actually theirs.
What sounds on Earth could ever replace kids needing
money or wives in your face?
Because this, people reckon, and me included,
is why pubs and drugs were kind of invented to calm us all down
and stop us going mental.
These are Chatsworth Estate's basic essentials.
We are worth every penny for grinding your axes.
You shit on our heads but you pay the taxes.
Imagine a Britain without Chatsworth buccaneers
who come on your face for the price of a beer.
Make promises.
Cheaper drugs, now.
Make poverty history.
Cheaper drugs, now.
Scatter.
Party.
[theme music]
IAN (VOICEOVER): I spent a long time living with my lie.
Too long.
It got to the point where I couldn't
hide it anymore No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't do it.
I decided I'd tell the truth, no matter what.
Swore to myself, nothing, that no one
would ever make me lie again.
No one would ever put me under that kind of pressure.
Now, honesty really was the best policy.
Tell the truth and shame the devil.
No matter what the price.
And there's always a price.
[muffled bass plays on stereo]
[MUSIC - FAITHLESS, "SATURDAY NIGHT REASONS"]
Mass destruction.
Brixton DJ and he plays the funk, son.
A local hero, yo but he ain't unsung.
Jimmy bought rum he's looking for clean cups.
No snacks here you won't be dancing on peanuts.
Strictly hot food, keep you nice and strong.
So you can go on and on and on.
(SINGING) Rolling with the hoes in a brothel
where me bitch hangs out.
Toking on a refer because I'm feeling s- s- s- stressed out.
Cruising in the limo with my homos.
Big and strong.
They're going to fuck you up because you stole my bong.
You hear me now?
Ma's a jail queen and dad's a smack f--
Fienan, I was just freestyling, you know?
Having a laugh.
Think this is funny, do you?
No. MICKEY: Hey, dad.
Get yourselves scrubbed up.
Try and look half decent for your visit.
IAN: We're not in any rush.
Day off?
Teach training day.
Where are you two going?
PADDY: Right.
That door closes.
Locked down.
I leave once a day for a shower.
You enter to bring food.
Door opens for no other reason.
At all times carry the gun.
I try to run, permission, no.
I order you to shoot me.
Oh, nice one.
In the leg.
It's a bit extreme, isn't it?
Rubber bullets.
I do not leave till I am one hundred fucking percent clean.
Got that?
For your mother's eyes only.
It has to be their mistake.
Our mum would want to see you, wouldn't she?
Go.
PADDY: Mickey.
Yeah?
I said, do not open the door under any circumstances.
Mickey, move.
MICKEY: (YELLING)
MEENA: (SCREAMS)
YVONNE: You could have given Stan a pigging heart attack.
It's your fault. I'm getting rejections
left, right, and center because my portfolio
isn't up to scratch.
New photos cost.
Wanking material for perverts is not a career.
Your mom's right.
You can talk.
Couldn't keep your eyes off them.
I saw a millisecond of nipple, Yvonne.
Swear to you. PADDY: And the rest.
Anyway backoff.
You're not my dad.
I'll make me own money.
Then, I can do what I want.
If I catch you with your tits out again,
you're grounded for life.
End of.
Sorry to interrupt a domestic.
All right it I leave this shopping with you
behind the counter?
One of the girls will be picking it up.
Some days, I feel like I could do
with a few pair of extra hands.
Like your Hindu god.
Thinger.
Have you seen Liam?
He was at ours, earlier. He's gone out with Danny.
The school rang.
Wanted to know why he's not been in.
They haven't seen him for the last three days.
Told me it were teacher training.
Well, he's a genius.
Well, what's Danny's excuse?
He might be able to come and go as he pleases.
Liam can't.
Why is it full of birds in here?
Because it's a bird's prison, dickhead.
You two, fuck off a minute.
Dirty lezzers.
That's enough to make you want to go to fucking prison
Here's a letter from dad.
What's going on?
Between me and your father.
How is he?
Cold turkey
It's a start.
Let's concentrate on getting you out of here.
Face it, son.
I don't stand a chance.
While Joe's out for the count, there's no possibility avail.
And if he doesn't come round, forget GBH, I'm up for murder.
It won't come to that.
Get your fucking hands off me.
Break it up.
Yeah.
Come on now you fucking slag.
Too good for my pity.
Fancy yourself in the company of the elite, now do you?
Tina Turner, Halle Berry, Sheryl Gaston.
Piss off, Frank.
There's naught to be ashamed of.
Domestic abuse happens right across the social spectrum.
Don't.
Even posh birds get a good hiding now and then.
This is your chance to walk away.
So take it.
What do you think is going to happen, Karen?
We both know.
Thanks for your vote of confidence.
If you let Joe worm his way back in you'll
have to move out. I've got no choice.
That's one less Maguire for poor you to worry about,
isn't it?
I'm starving.
- How was your day? - Usual.
Double maths. Double science.
Geography, we learned about glaciers.
What the hell do you think you're playing at?
In my defense, can I just say, it's
a bit hypocritical of you both.
Don't--
Don't you dare. You know this is different.
Just because we fucked up our chances,
don't mean we're going to let you do the same.
It's all work, revise, work, pressure.
Don't want to be one of those kids, old before my time.
Pining for a lost child--
That's bollocks and you know it is.
I'm going to have words with Danny.
You stay away from him, he's not right in the head.
You wouldn't be living with him if he was.
I can handle him.
It's not Danny's fault. Just wanted to go fishing.
OK?
I won't do it again.
Promise.
What the fuck is--
[clatter]
Shit.
(GROANS)
Oh, this one's for free, big boy.
Come on.
So much better than Jamie.
I'm a naughty bitch.
Give it to me, dammit.
Give it to me.
(GROANS)
Ian?
Asleep.
Safe.
Hands above the head, where I can see them.
Slowly.
Don't want any sort of moves.
You'd better pray I'm fucking hallucinating.
Ew.
Not for eating.
Just to suck on for the taste.
It might help.
All I could manage you know, when I was where you are.
We'll clean up while you're in shower.
Take them when the cramps kick in.
Letter from mom for you as well.
I know orgasm is the next best thing to a hit.
You wank to picture of a donkey in a g-string
when you're coming off the gear.
But take it easy.
Or Little Patrick will be wide awake.
You're going to need him when Mimi gets out.
Any more pearls of wisdom, I'll brass you one.
Oy.
Let's see if you still got that attitude when you're
swimming in your own shite.
Shower.
Safety's still on.
Carl, is Liam there?
Oh, that fucking Danny.
Get round here as soon as.
- What's going on? - I don't know.
Danny's up to something and he's taken Liam with him.
I'll tell you on the way.
Way where?
Is Keith there?
Says he's come back for you.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Water sport Ed is in.
Bathroom's out of bang.
What can I do you for?
I'm looking for work.
Oh, lovely.
There's certainly a market
Oh, no.
I didn't mean like that.
I was thinking of more like an assistant, to you.
Take the pressure off. Free you up.
I'll clean, prep the rooms, look after punters.
I won't be asking for much in the way of wages.
If you took in food and lodgings,
I'd work for next to naught.
What's the catch?
There isn't one.
I just need a job like now.
All right. I'll give you a trial run.
See how it goes.
When can I start?
[knocking at door]
Now.
MIMI (VOICEOVER): Before the smack warps your mind
to mush I remind you, 24 years ago we took sacred vows
in the presence of God.
Promise you now, I intend to keep truth to our vows.
Till death us do part.
Don't forget it.
Your loving wife, Mimi.
[sounds of defecation]
(GRUNTS)
PADDY (VOICEOVER): The hardest thing I'll
ever do is kick this habit.
I need to get through this.
You're looking at me for blame is not helping.
Whether I succeed or fail, you'll have your answer.
Your loving hubby, Patrick.
Up there longer than necessary again
and I'll have you for sexual assault.
YVONNE: It's all band new underwear, Karen.
Modeled by a few of Lilian's finest.
It won't all be Muslim.
Great, I'll send Stan around with boxes.
My notice. I quit.
This is family, you don't quit.
Die, yeah.
Quit, no.
I've got a proper job, proper pay.
Hey. a bit of work.
A little bit of an independence.
What is it then?
Working at Lilian's.
(GRUNTING)
Pakistan for you.
Your answer to everything.
Yeah.
Better that than you ruined you're life selling yourself.
Going to be star attraction, me.
Going to be fucking loaded.
And don't bother making me tea because I won't be home ever.
No, no no.
No, no, no.
[hospital machines beeping]
Nurse said you've been visiting.
When I woke up, I knew I'd lost you.
That pain worse than any hiding anyone could ever give me.
I deserve this.
No.
Jamie had no right.
They have no right.
I've my own mind
I need you.
Just wanted to see you were all right.
I'll let you get some rest. - I love you.
The only good news about Joe is that Mimi
won't be going down for murder.
You're right.
Are my ears burning?
Don't be daft.
We were just saying that Yvonne's having a knicker party
upstairs tomorrow night.
Should be a laugh.
Mandy, what I said before, I didn't--
Well, it starts with the little things.
Controlling you and where you spend your time.
What you wear, eat.
Sex gets a little rough.
He gets hypersensitive what you say and do.
And then comes blame.
All his wrongs are your fault. Threats start to happen then--
What makes you the expert?
Same problem with every new generation.
You think you're the first to invent life's experiences.
Seeing Joe is praying for a tiny hint of anger in him.
Make it easier for me to leave All I saw was him hurting.
Still love him.
That fucked up or what?
Well, people are judgemental, Mandy.
Love isn't.
Reason why it's the number two killer in this world.
What's number one?
Well, money.
Obviously.
Speaking of which, you couldn't?
[high pitched sound]
Oh.
[fly buzzes]
Hello?
(SCREAMING)
Where now?
Holly Bush Way.
All right there, kidder.
Know where Holly Bush Way is like?
Buzz and laugh and toffee apple.
What the fuck are you doing?
I'm mingling.
I'm blending in.
What's the number?
Five four.
What, they dealing?
Fuck off, Mickey.
No, I'm just saying, they must be selling something.
I mean, how else would Liam get a shiny new moped
and a hundred quid? - What the fuck?
IAN: Hey!
What are you doing, Ian?
It's his dad.
His dad.
It's his dad's.
He wanted me to be his ears.
Anything could have happened and we wouldn't
have known a thing about it.
Do what the fuck you want.
Just don't get him involved. OK?
DEBBIE: Yeah, and why all the secrecy?
Why didn't you tell us?
He wanted me to keep it quiet.
Hence the phone and cash.
Every man has his price.
What's he saying?
LIAM: Just wanted to see his dad.
I could have taken you.
Why the big secret?
Don't ignore me.
I said why the big, fucking secret?
Out of order.
Maybe he's frightened.
Go ahead, wait, wait till the coppers
come around wanting to know who it
was that beat up your old man.
Then, you'll know fucking frightened.
DEBBIE: Pack it in, you. - Yeah, back off.
Fuck you.
Come here, come here.
Listen to me, right?
And you--
What are you doing?
He's someone else's kid, right?
Keep your distance from that one, you hear me?
Keep your distance.
Nice one.
That golden shower unit hosed and disinfected.
Bathroom's done.
VIDEO GAME (ON TV): 30 love.
Love 30, my serve.
Do us a favor.
Can You go on stand on lino love because you're dripping.
Chance for you to earn a couple extra bub tomorrow night.
Nothing biblical.
I mean, Koran-ical.
Modeling for a knicker party at jockey.
Count me in. Sounds great.
[knocking on door]
(PADDY GROANING)
PADDY: Oh, fuck.
GHOSTLY VOICE: Oh, Danny Boy.
When all the flowers are dying.
I am dead as dead I well may be.
PADDY: (SINGING) And find the place I'm lying in.
GHOSTLY VOICE: (SINGING) And you can save a place for me.
No hello?
How have you been?
35 years is a long time.
PADDY: (SHUDDERS)
Hello, Daddy.
Daddy?
Fucking.
There's any chance you can take over for a shift?
Been stuck here two bleeding days.
I feel like me undies are Velcro up me ass.
Got business to sew up.
Where's Mickey?
Fuck knows.
Is he OK?
The sooner he's back to normal and mum's out, the better.
You might get a break, then.
Me?
Ay, I'm loving it.
PADDY: (GROANING)
I've arranged the delivery.
Two kilos.
Should be here this afternoon.
Make sure you're in there.
PADDY: Dammit.
Oh, fuck.
Oh, fuck, fuck.
PADDY'S FATHER: Junkie.
A fucking user.
I raised you better than that.
PADDY: Please, daddy, no.
Hey.
Please
PADDY'S FATHER: Traitor.
You shamed me.
Shamed our name.
What kind of a man are you?
Traitor.
[cell phone rings]
JOE (ON PHONE): Don't hang up. Work your charms.
Get Mandy to come and see me.
I can't.
JOE (ON PHONE): When she finds out what a good mate you are
shagging me behind her back.
KATIE: (YELLS)
MANDY: Quiet, Katie.
Sorry.
I was bang out of order before.
I have to give up someone I want, someone I love,
to be part of this.
And I don't know if it's worth it.
Is that what you've told him?
I haven't told him anything.
Maybe you should go and see him.
Explain yourself.
Let him know where he stands.
Let us all know where we stand.
FRANK: It's the eternal dilemma, isn't it?
Head or heart.
We're wired different, see?
Men and women.
Your heart so wide to your heads.
Ours are wired further south.
You know what he is.
Know what to expect.
He can change.
What you see is what you get.
And I like what I see.
Most of the time.
What about what she sees?
Because she will, one day.
MANDY: Come on, Katie.
KAREN: Noticed your glass was empty.
So Mandy and Joe, what do we do?
MICKEY: Nothing.
We can't just let her walk back to him.
I know if I lay down the law, give Mandy an ultimatum,
she'll do exactly what I say. She'll leave him.
Result.
One day, she'll blame me for fucking up her life.
As time goes by, she'll forget that Joe was a piece of shit
and just remember that I was the one insisted she left him.
Do you reckon she will leave him?
I hope so.
Because if he touches her again I'll kill him.
[hospital machines beeping]
I thought you might have brought Katie in.
I don't like her being in hospitals.
Could catch anything.
What I did, it won't ever happen again.
I know.
JOE: I made a mistake.
I took us, you for granted.
I was under pressure.
And it all got on top and it--
I love you.
Why?
When you could do so much better.
Single mother, low self-esteem.
Well, I Must have, loving a man like you.
I can change.
Then you won't be the man I fell in love with.
Don't you see Joe?
Whatever we do, we're fucked.
But the sad thing is, I could settle for that.
I love you so much, I'd risk it.
Take all your promises and believe the lot of them.
Each and every time.
Slap, after slap, after slap.
Won't.
I'd believe them.
I don't think Katie would.
She'd get to an age where she'd sit me
down and ask me why I'd stayed.
And how could I ever tell her that her mother
was willing to be a doormat just because she loved you.
[hospital machines beeping]
Bye.
[hospital machines beeping]
Peggy, it's Ian.
I've left you three messages, now.
It's obvious you're not arsed.
Which is just as well, because I'm not either.
I'm Going back home.
I don't know where Danny is and I don't care.
If you need someone to look after him, you're his auntie.
You might try doing it yourself.
See you.
Wow, fucking hell.
She said he used to beat me.
Said he battered me and my mum.
He did this.
You can talk?
It's the only way he could get me to listen.
Danny texted me.
He said he'd found him.
I got the first flight I could.
Danny, Danny, you don't know what your dad's like.
He's dangerous.
Look at me.
He almost killed you once.
Let's not give him a second chance, yeah?
DANNY: He said that you were a liar.
I told him what you said, he said that you were a liar.
Danny, why would she lie?
Because she doesn't have kids.
That you stole me from him and when mum died.
PEGGY: No, that is not true.
Your mum begged me to take you.
She begged me to save you.
Why don't you come with me, to Spain.
We'll move.
I'll sell the bar.
Yeah?
He'll never find us.
You won't ever have to see him again.
Danny, Danny, why not?
What's stopping you?
Agreed?
Danny, agreed?
Hey.
Agreed?
Peggy, I can be out of this place by tonight.
Keep it.
It's yours.
What?
We won't be coming back, will we?
PADDY (VOICEOVER): No mercy.
Hypocrite.
Position.
Have to be single.
What do I do, Dad?
[carousel music]
[indistinct voices]
[MUSIC PLAYING IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE]
And I fell for it completely but she tricked me.
Got me hooked on the gear, hung me out to dry,
cost me everything.
The business, the respect of my children, the love of my wife.
You're not going to be told what to do by no man, no woman.
I'm going to kick the shit and reclaim what's yours,
no matter what it takes.
Anyone gets in your way, annihilate them.
It's not that easy.
Carry no passengers.
Go.
Not without you.
[indistinct voices]
Not without you.
Go.
You walked out before.
I lost you once, I don't want to lose you again.
Get out.
PADDY: Please, Daddy, don't.
I need you here.
Please, Daddy, don't go.
I said, get out.
No, no.
PADDY: (YELLING)
(GRUNTING)
Please, Daddy, no, no, no, no.
You can hear that from the street.
He's possessed.
Should I get a priest?
PADDY: (SCREAMING)
[bangs on door]
Here's Johnny.
Redrum. - Redrum.
Shoot the fucker.
[gunshot]
It's got me.
PADDY: I can't do this.
PADDY'S FATHER: Do you remember why?
You have to.
Mom banged up and you resenting me.
It's the last thing I wanted to happen.
We're finished.
I'm sorry.
You're fucking delighted.
You deserve better from him and us.
Whatever I can do you know where I am.
Any more interfering in my life, I'll walk
and you'll never see me again.
Understand?
I understand.
You're not going up to naughty knickers?
No, sir.
Katie is bit young for all of that.
This doesn't get you off the hook.
Yeah, I know.
Pick her up from ours, yeah?
Give you a chance to say hello to everyone.
As soon as you're fellows see you in them,
he won't be running to bedroom, he'll be pole vaulting.
Yeah, well as soon I have a fellow, I'll let you know.
You're not fucking buying then.
I was having them.
All right.
KAREN: You all right?
Haven't been a very good mate lately.
Nor me.
But I'm here for for you.
Funny, impartial advice.
We're finished.
What did he say?
If you don't mind, I'd sooner not talk about it.
What happened, happened.
Put it all behind us.
Exactly.
Ladies, can I have your attention, please?
Like to introduce tonight's first two models
all the way from Lillian's, Trixie and Rhianna.
[applause]
Look at that, not a natural fiber in sight.
DEBBIE: Fucking brilliant, isn't it?
Jamie, it's not safe.
He's gone off his head.
You open that door and it'll be head spinning round, vomit,
and green soup.
Your mom sucking cocks in hell.
I have your ass covered, kid.
[door creaks open]
You look like shit.
Feel better.
Need a shower, a shave, clean clothes.
On the way.
And a word with your mother.
I'm over the worst son.
Hello, sweetheart.
Hello.
This should put a smile on your face.
Thanks, a lot.
Back in business, yeah?
Yeah.
Hey, get that place cleaned.
The floors, the ceiling now.
Both bra and panties have Velcro side
fastenings for a quick release.
Any man seeing you in this on your wedding night will say,
fuck me, Meena.
I wouldn't want to hear that on my wedding night.
Selling yourself.
Hypocrite.
No worse than what sell off your top shelf.
That is business.
So is this.
- Peggy. - Yeah.
When you said his dad was dangerous,
you were serious, yeah?
You weren't just saying it to keep Danny away.
- No why? - Shit.
Come on.
Fuck.
Yeah, he's well over the worst.
So he did it?
He's clean?
As a whistle.
And suddenly everything's all right?
PADDY'S (ON PHONE): We both made mistakes.
If you can't admit that, there's no way forward.
I can't and I won't take all the blame for everything that's
gone wrong with us, Mimi.
It takes two to tango.
God knows we've had two left feet for years.
[phone touch tones playing]
Danny, Danny.
Listen.
I just want to--
I just want to talk to you.
Listen, listen, I'm sorry.
I should have listened.
Danny, what are you doing?
It's all right, Danny.
OK.
But I don't think I can face seeing him.
Would you go with him?
You've changed your attitude a bit since I last saw you.
He's got something to say.
Why?
Why, what?
You did what you did?
And what have they told you I've done, Sean?
Danny.
Well, when your mom and Auntie Peg done a runner with you,
you weren't a Danny, you were a Sean.
I gave you that name and I'd like you to keep it.
Why did you do it?
What?
What lies have they fed you?
Hit me.
Is that what they told you?
What?
Are you saying you didn't?
I don't know what the fuck this has got do with you,
but yeah.
You did this.
No.
Beat me so bad.
You did this.
Sorry son, but your mom's been feeding you a load of crap
I remember you hurting me and you hit him.
You hit the baby. You hit James.
You fell for the lies hook, line, and sinker.
Why don't you do to him what you did to me?
Is that what all this is about, is it?
You clearing your conscience?
Took his little brother walk about--
To get him away from you.
--over two main roads and across the--
- To keep him safe. - Three miles they walked.
Stop you hurting him.
A shortcut by the millpond and then
never got the opportunity to ask.
Because you, your mother, and Auntie Peg just disappeared.
What actually happened Sean?
Did he jump?
Or was he drowned?
You fucking bastard.
Can't blame me for what you did to him.
I ted to save him from you.
You did this to me.
You did this.
Get out.
Go on.
Fuck off back to Spain.
[grunts]
[body hits floor]
[yelling and grunting]
IAN (VOICEOVER): So what now?
Tell the truth and shame the devil?
A trouble shared is a trouble halved.
No one gets to know about this.
I'm up to my neck in someone else's shit
and I'm not going to go any deeper.
I'll never see Danny again so bollocks to the truth.
Honesty is the best policy.
Is it fuck?
Yes.
VIDEO GAME (ON TV): Game, set, and match.
