Please, can someone let me out?

What are we going to do?

T?

- T? - I don't know.

We can't keep him in there forever.

Maybe he won't tell no-one.

What do we do?

We kill him?

- Don't be stupid. - We got no choice.

I ain't killing no-one, T.

We ain't killers.

What will we do with the body?

- We're just gonna have to talk him round. - He won't listen.

SHE KNOCKS

Feelgood?

Are you gonna let me out?

Only if you promise not to tell no-one.

I already did, a hundred times.

Can you just tell me one thing?

Right?

How did she die?

How do you think?

Look, Mum always wanted us to stay together.

They ain't going into care.

So you decided to stick her in the bath?

No, we didn't just stick her in the bath.

We didn't want to leave her, Tionne...

..wanted to practise...

He wanted to embalm her.

He was going to practise on the chicken.

Oh, well, that all makes sense then, doesn't it?

Yes, seeing as we're in the land of the fucking pharaohs.

Anyways, it was a mistake.

We just have to bury her.

Yeah, because I think that's what she'd want.

Do you really think no-one's going to find out about this?

We know!

We know we were wrong, we were confused and upset.

That's why we're asking you to help us.

OK.

- What? - Yeah.

I think I know somewhere she could go.

Where?

Somewhere along the M6.

A church?

- WHISPERS: - No.

OK.

LOCK OPENS

- Wait, where are you going? - This ain't got nothing to do with me.

- You gave her the brown. - No!

No, fuck no, you ain't putting that on me!

You killed her. You held her face down.

She died from your drugs.

I'll tell them.

The police, I'll tell them you killed her.

They'll want to know all your dirty business,

all your little tricks.

All we want is to keep things as it is,

how Mum would want it.

Staying together until I'm 18 and can legally look after everyone.

In the end,

she's just a sad junkie.

OK? No-one cares how they die.

If I was you, OK, and from the way that she's stinking,

I'd enjoy what time you have left

because it's only a matter of hours before someone else comes knocking.

DOOR SLAMS

- Pack! - Where are we going? - Well, you heard him.

- We need to leave. - And go where?

- What about Mum? - We've got no choice, T.

- We ain't leaving her! - Listen!

We tried to do it your way,

embalm her or whatever, and that did not work, T,

and now there is no time.

Time? What are you talking about? Time! No, t... T?

Where are the passports?

Where are we going?

Spain, Lanzarote, anywhere.

I don't want to go to Spain.

Or wherever you want, yeah?

How are we gonna afford Spain?

We don't speak Spanish, we don't know no-one.

Don't you understand, T?

We need to get out of here!

What about school?

You can go to school there, yeah?

It'll be just us, like the real house.

We never said where it would be, it could be anywhere.

- What? Like America? - Yeah.

We ain't gonna get passports,

pay flight tickets to America and fly in the same day.

- This is stupid. - What, like trying to embalm Mum stupid?

If you thought it was so stupid, why did you agree to do it?

Because you were catatonic, T.

And I didn't know how to handle it.

Stop arguing, please.

OK, it's a shit idea,

so why don't you come up with a better option?

Yeah.

SHE SIGHS

Living on phat pockets on flat wit tha gat

Rolling around a nine deuce Cadillac

Still got my homies to watch my back

And they'll smoke your ass if you wanna come chat

That's why some pigs and tha kids come sweatin'

They follow a hollow point

Shell's hard to swallow

Why wallow when ya come ta roll on

I put tha clip...

What time do you call this?

What have I told you, Kevin?

No dirty stop outs,

no prostitutes, no women that remind you of me?

- Not today, Mum. - I mean, this ain't how I imagined it, Gavin.

Imagined what?

This ain't exactly Goodfellas, is it?

I ain't seen the perks.

I'm going to bed.

I'm gonna tell you something, Gavin,

which maybe I should have previously mentioned. Sit.

Drug dealing requires gravitas,

which is something you lack.

If I'm honest,

I always saw you doing something simple,

steady,

like being a postman.

And your point is?

You're gonna have to move out.

- What? - Well, it's time. Gavin.

You're 32,

and I'm tired of scrabbling around for rent.

Mum, can we please not do this shit today?

This shit has got to be done, Gavin.

I might as well rent your room, the paltry amount you rake in.

You don't even have a car,

being driven around by your school mate.

I'll get the rent, I'll get it, I'll sort it.

- It's not a problem, is it? - It's too late, Gavin.

I've already tentatively booked a couple in.

I can't leave you,

because if I leave you, they're gonna find you.

They're gonna take you away...

..and we won't know where you are.

And we won't know if...

We won't know if you're being treated nice.

Who are you talking to?

Mum.

Are you talking to the chicken?

She's in it.

How?

Mum said when we die...

..we go to heaven.

Said the names are different depending on the religion.

But it's all the same thing.

She didn't say anything about chickens.

It's Mum, T.

Look, I don't know how,

but it's like she's reincarnated or something,

cos whenever I'm with her,

I feel her.

She makes me feel better.

Hello.

Mum?

Mum?

- I don't feel no different. - Just wait.

Just wait.

Oh!

Yeah.

Yeah.

So what's she saying now, then?

Oh, she wants me to kill Feelgood.

Kill Feelgood?

THUNDER RUMBLES

Thank you, Dr Amadori, for letting us know.

Yes, yes, you did.

You...you said it was a gamble.

No, no, no, this is our last round of IVF.

But I know you're busy, so...

Yes, bye-bye.

All our embryos died in the dish.

There's nothing to transfer.

I'm sorry, El.

Why are you sorry?

You're not the one with the crappy eggs.

That's not fair.

Watch out!

- What...? - Excuse me!

Did you just ram me?!

Hello!

- I'm not invisible. - Elodie, it's OK.

I'm sure she didn't do it on purpose.

She did, Tom, you didn't see her face,

the vindictive expression.

- Let's go home. - No, I can't go home, I've got to go to work.

- We need to talk. - We're always talking, Tom.

Maybe if we'd done less of that, we wouldn't have this problem.

Come on then, keep to the path, keep to the path.

Maybe...

..it's the right time to move out.

It's just...

Why are my clients so shit?

I'm more of a debt collector than a drug dealer.

I'm constantly chasing people about,

like I'm stuck on a fucking...

..gerbil's wheel thing, you know?

I just never imagined my life would end up like this.

I blame that Mr Davis.

I always wanted to be a jockey.

Never got any encouragement.

I never got near a horse, but still...

He was such a shit careers officer.

RIHANNA SINGS

She's a banger.

Banger!

Shine bright

Tonight

You and I

We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Eye to eye

So alive

We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky...

She's such a talented artist.

My kids, yeah...

..they're gonna have all the opportunities I never had.

They ain't going to be scratching about.

It's all down to opportunity.

If it wasn't for Mr Davis,

we would be shining bright like a diamond.

If only we'd had someone to believe in us, eh?

But won't the police find us if you kill Feelgood?

He'd be just another junkie.

The police won't even do an autopsy.

Are you sure this is what Mum's telling you?

Would I lie?

Well, can't we just find a new mum?

Find a new mum?

I didn't mean it like that.

I meant...

Hey! Watch it!

Sorry.

Hey, you're the guy.

What guy?

The guy who practically annihilated those tramps.

You're all over social media. It's gone viral.

"This sprayer is filled with an alcoholic solution.

"Coupled with the fact that your clothes stink

"like they've been saturated with month-old cider,

"you'll go up in seconds."

Let's see.

It was, like, really masculine.

OK, thanks.

You've got to capitalise on this. Make some money.

I'm also an influencer, if you don't know already.

You should follow my Insta.

It's @rororomelee.

Yeah, OK.

Thanks.

So how are we going to make money from it?

I don't know.

There are always two sides to a story.

Now, I've listened to both,

I want you to try to understand how the other felt.

How do you think Tanika felt when you said she couldn't be

in the group because her skin was too dark?

Horrible.

Tanika, how do you think Disney and Kimone felt

when you said they didn't make any contribution to the dance?

They didn't.

Let's try to think about the ways

they might have felt if they believed they had.

Shame, because they're cheats

and my skin's banging.

Remember, we're all at fault here.

Once we acknowledge this,

we can be friends again.

Don't...

Don't you want to be friends again?

Kimone?

BELL RINGS

Oh, let's...let's finish this up tomorrow.

Tonight, I want you to think of ways you can repair the friendship, OK?

- OK? - BOTH: Yes, Miss Jenkins.

Tanika,

a word.

You know, you can speak to me about anything, right?

Anything at all.

Anything that's...

..that's bothering you at home?

OK.

Is there anything?

You're a very special girl, Tanika.

Remember that.

Whenever things are tough, remember?

Very special.

To you?

Yes, to me.

Sorry.

It's OK.

No it...it's...it's not.

Erm, it's only OK if you give consent.

An adult can't simply presume to...

Are you sure you're OK?

- Afternoon, ladies. - Afternoon.

Can I get you anything?

- Are you on the menu? - To drink!

THEY LAUGH

Probably something sparkly.

Oh, yeah.

- Ooh! - To match your personality.

Didn't think you noticed.

I mean, the almonds. What do you reckon?

- Almond, maybe. - Almond sounds quite nice.

- I could do that. - Yeah? - I'll be back

Thank you.

So, how's college?

Fine.

Tionne and Tanika are fine, too, in case you're interested.

- I am interested. - That's why you ain't seen them in four years?

Look, that's what your mum wants. I tried.

I did.

Everything all right, though, yeah?

Yeah, I said they were, didn't I?

I've got an interview for an internship

at this prestigious make-up company.

- What?! - And me and Shanice have started up a business, so.

- Shanice with the squint, yeah? - What's that got to do with anything?

- I was just trying to... - Listen, we're going on holiday.

You and Shanice?

Nice.

No, us and Mum.

Wow. Where you going?

Does it matter?

Spain.

During term time?

Look, I can't find our passports.

Have you got them?

I ain't seen your passport in, what, six years?

- That's a lie. - How you mean?

You took them that time we was meant to go to Lanzarote.

Then you and Mum argued and then we didn't go.

Look, I don't have your passport, yeah?

- I'm a 100% certain. - If you can just look!

- Hey. - Hey, baby.

- You OK? - What did you get this time?

Bigger bum or a new top lip?

SHE SIGHS

I'm here for our passports.

Why would you have their passports?

Because they're not in the house and I know he has them.

- Where are you going? - Oh, my God, none of your business.

I'm sure it won't be far enough.

I'll have a look for the passports, yeah?

Yeah, I need you to look for them now.

- A'ight. - So when is the holiday?

- Soon. - Soon?

Yeah. Tomorrow.

And it's only now that you're looking for passports?

You know you can't travel. You've got school.

- Any mum would know that. - You know what? Just forget it.

And I thought it was passports you was after.

Candy, she's just a kid.

Yeah, who's doing someone else's bidding.

Oh, you're defending me now? When I'm fucking 17? Really?

There is no holiday, is there?

- There is a fucking holiday! - Jackie can't keep doing this.

We already pay her child maintenance.

We all know where that goes.

Tiana...

..is something going on?

There is nothing going on.

Yeah...

Yeah, Candy's right. There's nothing going on.

It's just another one of her stunts. It's what she does.

And you can't keep on enabling her

or she will never get out of her mess.

Oh!

Are you not going to do anything? No?

Yeah.

SHE HARRUMPHS

Argh!

VEHICLE APPROACHES

Go. It's showtime.

What are we, fucking animals?

Time to pay up, bitches!

Oh, shit, oh... Oh! Oh! Erm...

Look, I...I, erm, I don't have it, mate.

Just give me a few more days.

These things have changed. Me mum is kicking me out.

There must be someone. There must be family.

Family stab you in the back!

Or...a friend.

- Everyone hates me! - Right.

The only person who likes me, yeah, is a nine-year-old girl.

And maybe she, she...

Get out.

- What? - Get the fuck out! Get out!

Oh, please. No, not my car.

Look, I've had it since I was 18.

No, no, no! Don't leave me!

- Oh... - Fuck off.

HE BREATHES SHAKILY

Watch your step, bro!

HE WHIMPERS

THEY LAUGH

THEY LAUGH AND CHEER

Come on!

ENGINE REVS

TYRES SCREECH

Just drive it carefully! Carefully, man!

- Argh! - Shit!

Fuck, fuck! Shit!

Are you all right?

- I think so. - Oh, I...I didn't see you.

I thought the road was clear. Are you hurt?

Scratched my knee.

But...but...but I didn't hit you.

- I fell. - But I didn't touch you.

Must've been when I was trying not to get hit.

Luckily it's...it's just a scratch.

It really hurts, miss.

- Oh... - It's OK, Mum...miss.

- What? - Miss.

It's...it's barely a scratch.

Yes, miss.

Have you got someone picking you up?

My sister was meant to.

Tanika, wait.

You live on the estate, right?

- Yeah. - Is your mum in now?

Why?

Maybe I could talk to her about this rift with your friends.

You going to walk me home?

Yes, Tanika.

Would you like that?

MUSIC PLAYS ON CAR STEREO

Oh, you're no good, you're no good...

What do you want?

What do you think?

You going to help us?

- Depends. - On what?

You're no good, you're no good, you're no good

Baby, you're no good...

- TV PRESENTER: - The fighting Falcon, commonly known as the Viper...

CHICKEN CLUCKS SOFTLY

You OK?

I couldn't do it.

Dad didn't want to help.

Tionne, if we don't remove Mum's body from the flat,

the police will come.

I can't leave her.

I know.

I know.

But is that really her?

I mean, you said yourself, sh...she's in the chicken.

And you know this is what Mum would want.

She wouldn't want us to go on the run. With no money?

Tanika's nine.

What would that be like for her?

And for you, T? She wouldn't want that for you, would she?

For all our dreams to just be gone.

How?

You're not going to like it.

But we've got no choice.

DOOR CLICKS SHUT

Look, you won't have to do anything. I'll move her.

No.

I'll move her.

CHICKEN CLUCKS SOFTLY

DOOR CLICKS SHUT

So, tell me more about you.

SHE LAUGHS

What?

Oh, nothing.

Do you like Rihanna?

Oh, er...

Well, no, I...I...I do. I do like her, but, erm...

I'm more...easy listening or...or classical.

- Classical? - Yes, like Mozart or Beethoven.

I know what classical means.

It's just, I can't dance to it.

Oh, well, I would try ballet or...

- You know ballet? - I most certainly do.

I did Grade 5 at school.

Sounds very experienced.

Suppose it is.

I...I also did modern dance, and tap.

That's so cool, miss.

Will you teach me some ballet?

Oh...

- Well, I... - I know!

You can teach me in afterschool club!

Aren't you back dancing with Disney and Kimone now?

No, miss.

Will you teach me?

- Oh, well, I... - Please?

Please?

I'll think about it.

SHE HUMS

Once this is over, you owe me. OK? You owe me big.

HE STRAINS

BANG

Easy.

You can leave your bike here, as you said it's not expensive.

No it...it is. I said it is expensive.

Er, to me.

Sentimentally.

The wheels were designed by Chris Froome.

It was a birthday present.

But I guess I can just take them in with me?

Course she don't need this shit. She don't deserve it.

She weren't bad. She was a bit lippy, but she weren't bad.

She deserves respect.

All right?

Tanika.

Tanika, are you...are you OK?

Do you know them?

There you are!

I went to pick you up from school but you weren't there.

- What's going on? - Oh, oh, it's my fault.

She had an accident, scraped her knee.

There's a bit of health and safety to complete.

If you could get your mum to sign it and keep the pink copy.

Yeah, I'll let her know.

Actually, I was hoping I could speak to your mother.

Oh, no, she's not in. She...she's working.

Didn't you say?

It...it's just...

..she's been acting a bit differently recently.

And...I wondered if everything was OK at home.

Yeah, it's fine. It's great.

Tanika, are you OK?

I...I really should speak to your mother.

OK, and I'll let her know that you wanted to talk.

Erm, like I said, I'll let Mum know.

Yeah?

OK. Great.

Where's Feelgood taking her?

I don't know.

How did you get him to change his mind?

He's moving in with us.

Don't worry.

It won't be for long.

We need to bury her things.

- T... - No, I'm the man of the house.

That's what Mum always said.

How come you changed your mind?

It's the only way to do it.

I'm going to kill him.

Once he's buried her, he's gone.

- He's helping us. - He still killed her.

He said he didn't give her the brown.

He's lying.

I'm going to do it when we bury her.

And you'd better not snitch.

Where are we taking her?

Please, let it be somewhere nice.

ENGINE STARTS AND REVS

What's wrong?

Maybe it fell out and you accidentally buried it.

Buried what?

T?

T, what are you doing?

Oh, don't tell me you've changed your mind

and you want to send her off in a hot-air balloon.

What the fuck?

- No! Stop it! - Did he just try to kill me with a shovel?

- We don't need him! - This is not fucking real!

Tell me you did not try to kill Feelgood.

He was.

He's a killer.

Just like he was trying to kill them tramps.

He was going to kill him with Mum's drugs.

So why didn't you tell me?

I only just found out!

T, how can you think this is OK?

Hmm?

SHE SUCKS TEETH

Why couldn't Mum just have died?

Like, she had enough of living.

Sometimes people just die!

Well, she didn't just die!

- She didn't! - She did, T.

- She did. - Shit happens.

OK? People, their hearts just pack in.

Right? Like Amy Winehouse.

No-one killed her.

OK? No-one killed her!

You going to blame the supermarket that sold her the drink, are you?

Think about it.

I want her to have a prayer.

Yeah, OK.

God...

Dear God...

Dear God...

..wherever you are...

..please, keep her safe.

And look after her.

She was a loving, kind mother and friend.

You know, I think she was happy.

She died happy.

She was doing what she loved.

Now...

..the drugs don't work...

..they just make you worse...

..but I know I'll see your face again.

Now the drugs don't work.

They just make you worse.

But I know I'll see your face again.

Amen.

I'll never forget you, Mum.

All this talk of getting old

It's getting me down, my Lord

Like a cat in a bag...

ENGINE STARTS AND REVS

Waiting to drown

This time I'm coming down

And I hope you're thinking of me

As you lay down...

Listen...

What we've done...

..no-one can know.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's just us now.

OK, let's keep the circle tight.

Any slip-ups and we're done for.

We need to look out for each other.

Do you understand?

No-one is killing no-one.

Jackie's gone. She left for a man with snakeskin shoes.

That's the story, just like you said.

OK?

This is going to be good, me and you lot.

It's what Jackie would've wanted, you know, us four as a family.
