There's no way we will get caught. Absolutely no way on Earth.
I think there's a good chance that Matty's stealing from me.
What are you going to do? You're going to watch him for me.
And when the time's right, you're going to make sure that
the money that he steals comes out of this envelope.
Is it a big case, then?
Hmm? The Gary thing, is it an operation?
It's just me.
But it is a police thing, though?
It's a crime thing.
What's happened?
Nanna?
A lad burst into the house looking for Thomas.
Knocked Nanna over.
What's this?
For your car.
You sure?
Yeah.
Give me the money. What?
Give me the money, now. What money?
The money that I gave you.
HE SCREAMS
Fuck.
Matty?
I'm sorry.
I didn't...
Look, I know you're angry.
You are, aren't you? I can tell.
I've lost me house keys. Oh, Matty...
Landed here somewhere. I just can't find them.
Matty, can we just talk about it?
There they are. Got 'em. Matty!
Fuck sake!
Look, I'm sorry! OK? I'm sorry.
I'm sorry!
Yeah.
Be angry.
Oh, I am. I am angry. I'm always angry.
Matty... It's all right, Lee.
If it wasn't going to be this, it was going to be something else.
I know that. I knew that.
It's always something. Something else.
One thing after a-fucking-other.
But I thought, I thought you...
Do you know what I mean? I thought...
I thought you was me mate.
I am.
No, Matty, don't...
Here you go, you take that. That's yours, thank you.
Matty, please.
I did it for me kids!
Matty!
Oh, God.
Fuck!
MUSIC: Something's Gone Wrong Again by Buzzcocks
Thank you very much. Cheers. You keep the change.
What is it, first date, is it, you two? You two on a first date?
Is that what it is?
Can I get another one of them, please?
Same again. Thank you. Do you want one?
Thank you very much. Get yourself one and all. Keep the change.
I'm having a blinder. I really am.
Fuck off.
Are you done? You're done.
Here we go!
Everything I touch. Everything I fucking touch goes wrong, man.
It's all about jumping on at the right time.
It's like landing a fish.
You've got to wait for the moment and then you cast your quid,
and then boom. Boom!
It's fuckin' car repairs.
Gear box, crank shaft.
Fucking hell, Matty.
You've just got to know when to get off. You have to.
It's cos it's addictive. It's addictive. People become addicted.
Fucking such a knobhead.
I'm a knobhead.
I know how the machines work.
I see them. All the time in me job.
I know 'em. I know 'em.
I know 'em.
Oi. Pull yourself together.
Matty, look at me.
Car repairs.
A list of car repairs.
That's what was on the papers you got for me.
How did you know I was here?
You're always at this pub when you're not working.
Gary's onto me.
Yeah.
Leanne...
I thought she was me mate.
And I'm just pissed and alone.
Matty. A proper mate let me down.
I'm calling a taxi.
You can stay at mine until you're sober.
No. Why would I...? Why would I stay at yours?
I'm not staying at yours... Because I said so.
You can sleep it off, have a brew
then, in the morning, go see Gary, win him back over.
No, I'm...
Did you ever think it would end up like this, Nanna?
Don't suppose anyone ever does, do they?
Lovely.
What's that, Nanna?
Lovely Leanne.
My lovely Leanne.
You don't have to wait here, love.
You can go.
I'll pay him.
I'm all right, Nanna, I can stay.
It's OK, love.
I left it on the mantlepiece.
I'll just have a doze
and then I'll go down and get it.
Yeah.
Yeah, you have a doze.
You'll be home soon with your button box.
PHONE BUZZES
Oh, God.
Erm, hello? Sorry?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm glad you picked up.
I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
You know, I was out of order. So...
..sorry.
You know, I went too far.
And...
..I shouldn't have put you in that situation, so...
So, yeah, so I'm sorry.
Stop saying, "Sorry."
Yeah, but I am sorry.
I'm not normally like that.
I try not to be...
It's just, I've got a lot on my mind.
Quite a lot, actually.
I just wanted you to know that.
Ah.
Listen...
..can I say it in person?
When?
Tonight.
At my place?
I mean, I've got...
..something I've got to do now,
but, you know, if it goes well,
I could be free...
..if you are.
I don't know. I...
I don't know.
Er...
Yeah.
Yeah, all right. That'd be... That's good.
Yeah? OK, good. Great.
Well, if all goes well,
then I'll text you me address. Yeah?
Yeah, no, I'd like that.
Yeah, so would I.
Bye. Bye.
Here.
That stuff you got me was useless.
I'm going to be honest here, I'm a bit drunk.
I can't pin him down.
He's like jelly. I just can't...
Maybe he's just a taxi fella. I don't know.
Aren't you bothered... why I want him?
Like I said, I'm a bit drunk.
He's one of the worst human beings you've ever met.
You'd be surprised.
I'm not joking.
Neither am I.
He's ruined so many lives.
People have died.
A boy died.
If you do just one good thing in your life,
it'll be helping me take him down.
What you watching?
Escape to the Country.
Are they going to buy?
Well they'd be mad not to, wouldn't they?
Mute that, will you.
I've been thinking about how to approach this on the drive over.
You've not paid me for six months.
You just kept on asking for more gear, and you've just not paid me.
Yeah, I know, just I've had a few problems with, you know...
Mate...
..I'm the only problem you need to worry about.
Yeah. Well, yeah, no, obviously, yeah. Yeah.
I'm sorry.
OK? I'm sorry.
But I'm not running away from it, am I? Right, I'm here.
OK, I owe you, I know I do, but I'm...
I'm pulling everything in, right? Everything that I'm owed.
Everything that I've got. I'll fix it.
I'm not going to let you... I have never let you down, lad.
Right? I've got it. I've just got to go and get it.
Two days or you're dead.
That's the dream, eh?
Run away from it all.
Two days?
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
Yeah, it'll be all right, that.
Here, put the sound on.
KNOCKING
Hiya.
Thought I'd got the wrong house, turns out I got the wrong century.
Yeah, I've...
I've not finished the wiring yet, so...
Builder as well?
Obviously not.
Here y'are, come in.
Thanks.
Here, just... Just be careful.
Oh, wow.
Love what you've done with the place.
Yeah.
Do you want a...? Do you want a coffee or anything?
Or wine. I've got wine if you...? I'm OK. I'm driving.
Oh, yeah.
Sorry. Of course.
I've...
I've been here 18 months.
Just run out of energy for it, you know.
So...
..it's like this.
Well, it's hard.
Yeah.
Look, are you sure you don't want owt?
Are you OK?
Not really, no.
You know, it's just...
It's just been a bit of a twat of a night, you know.
I shouldn't have asked you to come. I'm sorry.
I told you to stop saying you're sorry.
Yeah.
It's a funny old night.
This isn't the house you promised me, is it?
Because if it is...
Do you like the cold?
"Cold"? What's that got to do with anything?
The cold. Do you like it?
It's OK, but...no.
Tenerife, then.
"Tenerife"?
It's 28 degrees today.
28.
And it's got... It's got great beaches, right?
It's got great shops.
Boss nightlife.
Schools.
"Schools"? Yeah.
Yeah, for your kids.
MY kids?
Mm.
Run away with me.
What? Yeah. Let's just... Let's just fuck off. Eh?
Don't be daft. Let's do it.
I'm serious.
I've got commitments.
Well, bring 'em.
Are you mental?
What about your kid?
My boy will never want for nothing,
and neither will his mum.
I've seen to that, and I'm seeing to that.
No, I can't just go.
Just....
..dream with me.
Right?
We're only just... We... We've known each other for years.
Right? Look, just dream with me, yeah? Just have a...
Have a dream, right?
And I'll make it come true.
Mm.
I can't.
Right. Listen, right.
I need to go.
Right?
I need to go...
..and I don't want to go alone.
What? Are you...? Are you scared?
No.
I'm scared of staying here.
So, I'm asking you -
and I'm really serious, Lea..
..please, come with me.
Yeah?
Come with me and we can...
We can be in love somewhere other than here.
Hey?
We hardly know each other.
I know you, right? I know you.
You know, if you don't like it, you just... You can come home.
The offer of the house, I'll sort it.
Still be there, with the all legit
with the rent and a contract.
I'm good for that. You know that.
There's zero risk.
There's no such thing.
You're looking at it.
I'll think about it.
That clock's ticking.
I'll think about it quickly, then.
PHONE BUZZES
What?! Yeah, hello?
Matty?
Matty? Yeah, what's happening?
Are you there? Yeah.
Are you OK? Yeah.
Yeah, good.
Yesterday, yeah? Yeah?
I was out of order.
Sorry.
Feel like all I'm doing lately is apologising to people.
Yeah, well...
..you might want to stop pushing people up against the wall
and falsely accusing them of stealing, then, eh?
Yeah, but you are stealin' though, aren't you, lad? So...
No, I'm not. Lad, shut up!
All right? Just forget it, OK?
I've got bigger fish to fry.
No, no, no, listen to me... Shut up and listen.
There's a high roller game.
All right? Big money, tomorrow night.
Yeah, and it's heavy stuff,
so I just want you and Leanne working, OK? Nobody else.
Right, just the two of you.
Nobody else and keep it quiet.
OK?
What happened yesterday, yeah?
Leanne had nothing to do with that.
OK, I misread something that she said.
All right, she was worried about you.
She's your mate, OK?
Anything that happened, that's on me. Yeah?
So, I don't want you thinking that she had anything to do with it.
She was worried about you, that's all.
OK?
Yeah, well, I'm worried now.
All you need to be worried about, yeah...
..is the high-roller.
Just you and Leanne.
But we need a dealer. You deal.
All right?
Just you.
OK, nobody else.
Just want you.
Is this a trap?
Shut up, knobhead. Just be close to your phone.
Who was that?
Gary.
Gary from the casino? Yeah.
Phoned you here? Yeah. On me mobile, Ning!
Well, you didn't tell him where you were, did you?
No, of course I didn't!
Well, what did he want?
Can you stop shouting, please? I'm a bit hungover.
What did he want?
There's a high roller night at the casino tomorrow night.
Big money. Just me and Leanne to work it.
Please stop shouting.
Can I have me tea, please?
Let yourself out.
KNOCKING
Come in.
Hey.
Shut the door.
So, how are you?
I'm great, boss.
You?
"Boss"?
You're my boss.
Known you for 12 years, Ning.
We joined the job together.
Yeah, but this is a work thing, though, isn't it?
Human resources.
HR say that you've not engaged with the counsellor they recommended.
I don't want to talk to a stranger.
You broke down on a job, remember?
They couldn't get you out a car for an hour.
In the middle of the street.
It was ages ago.
It was five months ago.
If you don't get help, you are not coming back.
And I mean it.
You're my friend.
Well, yeah, I hope I am.
Let me come back long enough to get Gary Packer.
Oh, God, for fuck's sake.
Please, Jane.
I've been told.
There's something happening at The Envoy Casino tomorrow night.
And I've got to be the one to get him.
We don't "get" people.
We arrest them and we present evidence to the CPS.
That boy died.
Not your problem.
It is my problem. It really isn't.
And you're off work sick.
Which means you're not authorised to use the force intel systems.
Speak to her.
Be friends.
Lea. Yeah?
Can I have a word?
Erm... We've run out of peppermint tea.
I spoke to Gary.
He said you was worried about me
and he got the wrong end of the stick, and I fucked up.
Well, he fucked up... I fucked up because I thought that...
What? I thought that you'd set me up.
I suppose I did.
No, he said that you was worried about me,
and that he made you do what you did, and that you changed your mind.
When it was you and me alone, you changed your mind.
He just played you.
For all I know, he's playing you...
..or me, now.
Is he?
Is he, Lea?
No.
He's not what you think he is.
What do you know what I think he is?
He's shady, Lea. Proper shady.
You think I don't know that?
Well, I don't know what you know, do I?
What's your plan?
What?
What's your plan?
You know, next week? Next month? Next year?
What is it?
Cos I've got a plan.
People I care about. People who need me.
I've got a plan.
Gary's got a plan.
Gary thinks. Gary plans.
Gary looks after people.
Gary dreams.
Gary sells fucking drugs, you dope.
Do you really think he cares about you?
It's just you and me tomorrow tonight.
We're shut for a high roller game.
Gary organised it.
Everyone else gets the night off.
Gary organised it? Yeah.
Let's not start this again.
But we're shut to punters,
and he wants me and you working, no-one else.
I'll be dealing. You?
Yeah, I can deal.
You haven't dealt cards in years.
I can still do it.
If I... You know?
No, look. This place isn't right for a big night.
Oh come on, Lea. It'll be good.
Big night, money getting chucked about.
We might get tips?
I'm really sorry, Nancy, but it couldn't wait.
Well?
What? Have you lost your puppets?
No, I've got a tremor.
It's me nerves, I'm drinking.
I've got to deal tomorrow night, and, like, a high roller.
I didn't know you dealt!
I don't! Not any more. Not with these.
But I used to. I used to be good.
And tomorrow, I've got to be good again.
You can't learn to deal in a night.
You've got to be prepared for high rollers.
It's a package. Not just dealing cards.
You've got to be perfect.
You can't do it.
I haven't got a choice.
Oh, Matthew!
I can't get these on.
My husband always used to say,
appearance is so important.
If you look professional, you'll feel professional.
Yeah. Bearing.
Yeah. Confidence.
Yeah. Remember who you are and what you're capable of.
That's probably the last thing I should be remembering.
All right, then. Remember who you were
and imagine who you want to be.
Now, stand up straight and breathe.
Drink? Oh, God, yeah.
No.
I just thought, to help my hands.
No drinking. None at all. No.
All right.
Now, set this up for me, will you?
Oh, fuck sake...
Again.
Fuck's sake.
Again.
Smiles and speed.
I don't believe it.
Gary won't believe it.
My Gary?
Gary organised a high roller?
When?
Erm...
Tomorrow, but I don't think...
It's what the place needs.
Good.
Again.
Thank you, Nancy.
It's silly but...
..it felt like I almost had him back for the night.
What's this?
Your money. What money?
Like we agreed.
But I haven't done anything.
Yes, you have, love.
Off you go.
Thank you.
All right, Roger Moore.

We're going to have to put a better sign up than that.
That looks like something you'd put up in a chippy
when you have to go for a...
..shit.
Jesus, you look like me old fella.
What's this?
Money.
Thank you, Professor Brian Cox, but I'm asking why it's here?
What's that?
This is our high-roller event.
Sorry to burst your bubble.
This lot needs counting...
..and then filtering into this casino tonight
so that it looks legit by tomorrow.
How much is here?
Just over 700 grand, I think.
I've not had chance to count it, you know.
It's mine, it needs to go through the books tonight.
Why tonight?
It doesn't matter why, does it?
Just need to count it and get it in the cage.
Bit by bit, exact figures, going into the safe
and the computer,
in a way and at a pace that the tax man'll think is legit.
If he ever goes through the books.
I shall make it worth everyone's time.
OK?
Hey! Get off your fucking phone, now.
Everybody, off your phone, right?
And leave them on the table.
I don't want some dickhead taking selfies for Instagram.
Dick Van Dyke.
When you've finished staring,
go and put the kettle on while we start counting, will you?
Go on. Chop chop.
You heard him. Get counting.
Were you going to tell me about this?
This is who I am, Lea.
Look, hey.
I don't want to live like this. I don't want to...
I don't want to be... A drug dealer.
Yes. I don't want to be a drug dealer, yeah?
I want out, right? But I can't.
I can't walk away and stay around here.
Cos I need to get far away.
I need to break away, otherwise it'll come back to me.
If I can't get away from it, I'll come back to it.
Look.
Please, trust me, Lea.
You and me, yeah?
One more bad day...
..and then we're home free.
12 grand.
Six in tens, two in fives, and four in twenties.
Why you getting mixed up with him?
Just write down the numbers. I just want to know why.
You're mixed up with him,
or have you not noticed all that drug money out there?
I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about you and your kids.
He's taking me to Tenerife with the kids,
and he's going to get Nanna help,
proper care in a good home.
What? You heard.
Lea, why would he take you and the kids with him?
Why would he want to take that all on?
I'm sorry, but listen, mate,
he's playin' you. He's playing you.
He is.
I told you.
Let's take 20 grand each, now.
Nobody'll know. He's all over the place.
He doesn't know how much is left on the table...
Just write down the numbers. Listen to me a second... Write them down!
What on Earth's going on?
Matthew?
The game...?
I didn't know.
Can we talk in the office, please?
Keep counting.
Do I have to spell it out?
You know who I am, and you know what I do,
so, please, Mum, let's not pretend, eh?
Just let me just get this over with, will you?
Your father built this casino.
I built this casino for you.
Not for us, for you.
And you're just using it to get rid of your drug money?
You two were no angels, were you?
So don't try and take some moral hard ground with me. We worked hard!
What, do you think...?
Do you think that I don't work hard?!
Hey, I'm grafting seven days a week.
It's dirty money. It's misery money.
It's filth.
I'm ashamed of you!
You think that casino money is better than drug money, don't you?
It's legal!
You polish the brass, you change the blown light bulbs,
and you vacuum the carpets.
And that way, you can tell yourself that it's a good way
to make a living, but it isn't.
What you do is not better than what I do, it just pays tax.
It is addiction, right?
It fucks you up and robs you of yourself just the same.
So me and Dad, me and you, hey, we're the same.
So, you just keep turning a blind eye to what I do.
You take your cut at the end of the year
when the company pays out its dividend and, until then,
you go in there, you get your hands dirty with the rest of us...
..and you start counting.
CHIMING
What's that?
The bell for the back door.
Well, whoever it is, get rid of them.
Go on, chop, chop.
CHIMING
No. Wait. Let me in.
No. Move your foot a minute. Let me in! Sh!
You've got me into enough trouble at me mums with those dealers.
Please, just go! What's going on?
I don't know, just a big game.
Big players, big money. That's it. Please. Well, let me see.
You can't! These guys, they don't want...
They don't want bizzies hanging about.
Can you move your foot, please. There's no cars.
Their hotel laid on transport.
There's only four cars here.
Yours, Leanne's, Gary's taxi and Alan's van.
Well, maybe they left them here last night or something.
I don't know. I don't know.
I know he's here.
Why shut the casino for only one card game?
Please, Ning. My job. There's nothing dodgy going on.
Just businessmen. Out of town. You don't know 'em. You don't know 'em.
It's completely legit. They just wanted a venue, that's all.
Can you please, please, Ning, just go.
Please, because I'm not letting you in.
Something's going on, and if you don't let me in,
you're going to regret it for the rest of your life.
Go. Please. Please.
What the fuck's Ning doing here?
What did you tell her?
What?
I said, what did you fucking tell her?
I haven't said anything to her.
Are you a grass? No!
You're not? Nope. No. Sound.
It's all right then, innit?
What the fuck is she doing in your mum's house, then, hey?
Hey?
Yeah, come on.
We can talk about it, hey?
Gary. Gary, I swear down! I swear down, mate!
I've said nothing to nobody.
Shut up or I'll rip that ear off and make you fucking eat it.
Gary, what are you doing? Shut up and count!
All of yous! Just...
..fucking count!
If this goes tits up,
I'll fucking kill you.
Do you hear me? You are a fucking dead man.
All right? Gary! Enough!
Where the fuck do you think you're going? Eh?
Jane, I'm at the casino now.
It's happening!
What?
Well, it's... I don't know...
You don't know what's going on or who's there,
and what? You want me to....? Jane, I'm begging you.
As a friend, I'm begging you.
This is big.
Do me this. Just this.
I swear to you, you won't be sorry.
What's up with her?
Well, she's tired.
She's been looking after the kid all day.
We're all fucking tired, dickhead!
If she wants paying, go and wake her up! Gary, no.
I won't have this. The poor girl's been looking after a child.
What do you fucking know about being a mother?
What do you know? That's a mother right there!
Not you. Not that. That's a real mother right there.
Fucking wake up!
Hey! What am I fucking paying you for?! Lad!
I want me cut now.
I'm done.
What, you're done, are you?
Yeah, you're fuckin' done, yeah?
You're not a pizza, lad. You're a fuckin' knobhead.
So sit down and count... We want ours as well.
Count! Fucking, just...!
Look, I'm... I'm going to...
I'm going to fucking die, right?
I'm going to... I'm going to die!
And all yous care about is your cut!
I'm going to fuck... I'm going to fucking die, right?
I'm going to fucking die... unless you fucking count, right?
So sit down there!
Right?
Sit down and fucking count!
Gary!
Count!
Leanne?
Where's Matty?!
I don't know.
Matty!
CLATTERING AND BANGING
Bag it! Bag it!
Fuck!
Hands where we can see them!
Yeah, go. Go, go, go.
Down on the floor! Sit down! Sit down now!
Sit down. get on your knees.
Where are the others? What others?
Your eyes on me! With me.
Stop waving a gun at me!
