Hello. How are you, all right?
I haven't got a DVD player.
I've only got a video recorder, I'm afraid.
You should sell videos.
If you had any action films on video,
I'd buy them from you.
What do you think...
What do you think's better, karate or kung fu?
I'll see you, then.
Might see you tomorrow.
You know who you remind me of sitting there?
Your mum.
I wondered when she was gonna come into it.
Just a sec. Sorry.
You live in a fucking dream world.
Here we go.
Don't you listen to anything I'm saying?
- I am fucking listening.
- You watch my lips moving
- but don't take in what I'm saying.
- Don't fucking talk patronising to me!
If you was a fucking geezer,
I'd stick that right in your face.
That's all you can resort to, that's all you know.
You sound like your fucking mum.
I knew it wouldn't be long
before she was dragged into it.
She's rumped everyone down the fucking road.
This is about me and you, not my mother.
Its not just about me and you,
its about me, you and Little Davey,
and you wanna get this in your fucking nut.
If I walk out, little Davey's coming with me.
- Oh, no, he's all right where he is.
- I don't fucking think so.
Do you know that cunt over there,
keeps staring?
- Who?
- Him, that noncey-faced cunt there.
No, I don't know who he is.
Can you please concentrate on me?
This is my argument, Paul. You never
take in what I want or what I'm saying.
What is this bollocks about you need space?
I know what that means.
- I ain't fucking stupid, you know.
- It means I want space.
- Time to sort myself out.
- I think it means you've got a geezer.
- Oh, here we go.
- I ain't fucking stupid.
Tell me. You've got someone, ain't you?
- You're not listening to me.
- I fucking am.
No, you're not listening to me!
- Here he goes again.
- What?
Do you fucking know my old woman?
Do you fucking know my old woman, cunt?
- Leave him alone.
- What's all the fucking staring about?
- Sorry.
- You noncey-faced cunt!
Yeah, sorry? I'll fucking sorry!
- Eh? Do you fucking know her?
- Oi, oi, oi!
- Paul!
- Fuck off!
Get your hands off me!
- Get that cunt out of here.
- I will.
- Before I lose my temper.
- Calm down, I'll get him out.
- Calm down.
- Is that him?
Get out.
If I see you again, cunt,
I'll break your fucking neck.
/Oh, God!
Oi, Davey, you're coming in
in 20 minutes for your dinner.
What we having?
- Nuggets.
- Do we have to?
Yes, we do have to and don't be so cheeky!
Yes, we do have to and don't be so cheeky!
Do you hear me, Davey?
- Yes, OK.
- Good, now don't be long.
- Do you like football?
- Yeah.
- What team do you support?
- West Ham.
- West Ham?
- Yeah.
I like West Ham.
Hello, yeah, I'm looking at
your card in the telephone box.
Do you have the girl in the card?
No?
What girls do you have on this evening?
What are her sizes?
Has she had, like... are they real?
What's that?
She's a transsexual?
What does bubble bath consist of?
And waterworks, what... what happens?
We need to use the phone.

Our car's broken down up the road

Like to see her? She's been bled, mate,

Listen here.
What's wrong with those bleeders
who call themselves leaders,
Those sick, weak, perverted men and women,
And surely you and I shall always spot them,
I'll tell you why
For they are clothed with the spoils of war,
they're warmongers, paedophiles...
Hello?
Now fuck off,
you fucking abandoned fucking reprobates.
It's a poem. It's a poem, Tone.
Don't worry, mate, he's having a giggle with ya.
See ya later, Peck. Nice one, brother.
Make yourself at home.
It's the far room on the right.
Fucking hell, what's that smell, Tone?
You wanna open a couple of windows
or something.
Fucking hell. What a shithole this is, eh?
It's all right.
It's like an old people's gaff, like old dcor.
- Know what I mean?
- I'm not old.
I need some tin foil.
Give us that.
- Foil?
- Yeah, tin foil.
So, anyway, the Old Bill's
knocked on the door, yeah?
So Frankie's gone bosh, three storeys up,
landed on his legs,
shattered both his kneecaps.
He still tried to get up and run away, mate.
Black cunt.
That's all the foil I've got.
That's blinding, brother.
That's all right, mate. Thanks.
Do you want a beer, then?
Yeah, go on, then. I'll have a beer.
We'll all have a beer.
Oh, mate...
I fucking need a bit of this.
I'm clucking, boy.
- There's a beer there.
- Cheers, Tone.
Fuck off, will you? Putting the beer in my face.
He's putting the beer over me, man.
What's the matter with ya?
Let's all just fucking chill out.
Relax and have a bit of...
Ow! What you fucking doing?

Do you want some beans on toast?
- What you on about?
- Make some food.
No, I don't want nothing, mate. I'm all right.
Mack, do them up.
Shall I put a film on?
I've got no reception but plenty of action films:
Schwarzenegger,
Steven Seagal, Chuck Norris...
I've got Jean-Claude Van Damme, his first films.
I've got No Retreat, No Surrender...
I've got 2 as well. He's not in that.
How about 3? How about 4?

Seen it?
I told you, don't put things in my face, mate.
Don't fucking put things in my face.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Don't put them in my face.
Let's all calm down.
Don't throw my film. Good job it's not in there.
You would have had to pay for it.
Yeah? You'll fucking end up paying for it, cunt.
Let's just chill out and relax.
Let's all have a bit of gear and relax.
Fucking... all this madness.
We all need to just take a breather.
What about Cocaine Wars
with John Schneider from Dukes Of Hazzard?
That'll do, just get that on.
We ain't too worried about the films.
Gimme a bit of that.
I'm doing it, mate, ain't I?
Nice drop of wallop.
- Oh...
- Mack, Mack!
It's all right, it's all right. It's sweet.
Here we go.
What about me having a bit of that smack?
I mean, I did put ten pounds towards it.
Don't worry, mate,
you're gonna get a bit, I promise ya.
We need it, mate. We're clucking boy,
we're clucking here.
You'll get a bit of wallop. Don't worry.
So I'll just have a beer, then, yeah?
Go get yourself a beer. Chill out.
That's it, mate, that's the jackpot. That's the one.
I'm gonna load that up. There's a bit on there.
Get another bit ready.
That's a nice bit, better than that other one.
- Fuck off.
- Hold it a minute, Tone.
I'm trying to boot up here.
What's the matter with you?
Lts not done like that, Tone.
You wait your turn. You'll get a bit.
There's hardly anything left.
We got a load of it. We've got three there.
- Oh, right, OK.
- Calm down, you'll get your turn.
Right, OK.
I'll sit down.
Give us another go.
All right, Tone?
Stay still.
Stay still. Stay still.
What's the matter with your face?
Where's Smudge?
Oh, he's having a little lie down. He's not well.
I don't want to kill no more.
I could have killed you.
In town, you're the law.
Out here, its me.
Don't push it. Don't push it.
I'll give you a war you won't believe.
Let it go. Let it... go.
Seen it?
First Blood.
Simon, this is Smudger.
/When I work, I don't leave loose ends.
/You don't need him.
/I do.
Tony, please, listen to me.
Listen to me. You know me, man.
I ain't fucking said nothing to no-one.
I ain't gonna say nothing to no-one.
Quiet! Be quiet!
All right, Tony. Please, please!
Please, let me live.
Let me go. I ain't gonna say nothing

That fucking hurts! Please, please!
Let me live. Let me fucking go, man.
Let me fucking go. Please.

Why don't you come down for lunch?
That might be nice.
Good.
Lovely.
Anything you don't like?
Any vegetables or do you eat everything?
Brussels sprouts.
Oh.
Oh, well, I'll make sure I don't have any of those.
Oh, is that the time?
I really need to go.
There's a tenants' meeting...
Bye, Dawn.
Nice, nice lady.
Listen, can I phone you back?
Something's come up.
Is that all right, mate?
Tony, yeah?
Mike Hemmings. Take a seat.
Just getting your...
Just dragging your...
So, Tony...
...you've been unemployed
for 20-odd years now.
And apart from a couple of weeks'
work experience,
you haven't done anything at all.
listening to people like me carrying on and on,
telling you to get a job, get a life.
Sorry.
Sorry? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm sorry. I really am.
I'm sorry for being late.
You're not late.
I thought I was late.
No, the problem isn't with you being late, Tony.
The problem is... you.
What are we gonna do with ya?
What?
Well, according to our records,
you've been on Jobseeker's Allowance forever
but haven't actually...
Oh, Jeez.
Listen, it's better for you to work, Tony.
You'll feel better with a nice little job
and some money in your back pocket.
What do you think about that?
I don't think that's a good idea, really.
I'm quite happy how things are.
I know you probably are
but you're actually costing the taxpayer money
when you could be a taxpayer yourself, no?
Have you filled your book in?
What book?
Are you disabled in some way?
No.
What have I done wrong?
You haven't done anything wrong -
or right, for that matter.
You're just incapable.
I can't see anything wrong with you
maybe getting a job cleaning toilets. I dunno.
Would you like that?
You could meet people, no?
- I'm not sure, really.
- Why not, Tony? What's wrong with you?
I've got a job interview for you.
Don't be late cos I will stop your money, OK?
You from England?
Yeah.
You sure? You look Polish.
No, I'm English. I was born here.
OK.
Does this type of work interest you?
No, not really.
Well... I don't know.
Well, have you done anything similar?
Yeah.
When, then?
I mean, no. No, I haven't.
You think you're up to it?
Do you or don't you, mate?
It's a simple question.
Yeah, I think so.
I think I could do it.
OK, I tell you what we'll do.
We'll start you on a trial,
see how you get on, OK?
Do I get paid?
No, it's a trial.
You don't get paid for a trial.
OK, thanks.
Where you going?
I ain't finished yet. Sit down.
When can you start?
Not for a few weeks.
Why not? You got another job?
No, just got things to do.
I'm quite busy at home at the moment.
Quite busy at home?
Yeah, very busy, actually.
We're not getting anywhere with this, are we?
How would you like me to make a phone call
to the person who sent you here?
Hello... Mr Hemmings?
Yeah, I have Tony in front of me.
Yeah, it seems he's messing us both about.
It seems he doesn't want a job
and he's wasting my precious time.
- Did you just speak to...
- No, but I can if you want.
No. No, thank you.
OK, get here at six
and we'll get you kitted out, OK?
What are the hours?

Are you joking?
Well, is 20 the cheapest?
Yeah, and don't forget the lady.
The lady?
I haven't got to do anything with her, have I?
- Just a couple of quid.
- Oh, yeah, right.
What can you do for five pound?
Don't waste time.
You been busy? You had a lot of clients?
Yes.
How many hours do you do?
Do you work a lot of hours?

Ah, Tony Benson?
Mr Benson, Kevin Phillips.
Do you mind if I just come in for a moment?
Do you have a licence for the television?
Don't think so.
Have you ever purchased a licence
for the television?
No.
In which case, sir,
I must issue you with a caution
under the 1949 Wireless Telegraphy Act.
You do not have to say anything
but anything you do say
can and will be used in evidence
against you in a court of law.
OK.
Do you have satellite or cable?
- Sir?
- Cable.
Right, sir.
No, that's fine.
If you can just sign here,
erm... just there.
Just says I've asked you the appropriate
questions, you've answered them.
Sign there and then that's me.
You'll be issued with a court summons
in the next 7-14 days,
and that'll explain everything.
Just there.
Just there. Thank you.
You don't put any good films on telly.
I only watch videos.
OK, sir, you've left me no choice.
I'm now gonna confiscate your television set, sir.
I'll issue you with a receipt.
And then you'll be informed in the next day or so
of the appropriate measures and steps
of what to take next.
Jesus! Jesus!
/You fucking thicko.
/Don't fucking speak back to me!
Detective Dave Reynolds, CID.
Can I come in, please?
You don't mind if I come in, do you?
No, I don't mind.
Front room's last door on your right.
Do you want a cup of tea?
No.
Name?
Tony.
Full name?
Benson.
What, no middle name?
No, neither have I.
You lived here long, Tony?
- Yeah.
- How long?
Ages.
Well, years will do.
Ten... Ten years.
Do you go to work?
I been for a job interview,
they've put me on a trial basis.
Oh, right.
Well done.
I suspect you have a lot of time on your own -
walking around, if you know what I mean?
Walking where?
Looking around, observing.
Have you noticed anything
over the last couple of days?
- Like what?
- That's what I'm asking you.
Now...
...a little boy has gone missing.
The last time he was spotted was around
this part of the estate on Tuesday.
Surely you've seen all the forensics,
all the commotion and so forth?
You've just told me you was observant.
Well, I did wonder.
I don't like to ask questions. I just thought...
...filming or something.
You did wonder?
Where was you that night?
Tuesday?
Yeah, fucking Tuesday, you heard me!
I was watching Gary Busey
in Hider In The House.
It's a good film. Have you seen it?
And then what did you do?
I had a bath and then went to bed.
What's that fucking sm...
What?
There's a terrible smell in here. What is that?
Oh, yeah... drains.
The council meant to send someone down to...
- The drains? Council?
- Yeah.
You won't mind if I go and have a look around,
then, will you?
- What, the drains?
- Yeah.
No, I don't mind.
Reynolds?
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Speak slower.
I can't understand you.
Right.
Where was he?
I'll be there in a minute.
