Panic (2014) - full transcript

I THOUGHT WE'D TALK
A LITTLE BIT

ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING NOW
AND THE NEW RECORD,

AND THEN OPEN IT OUT
INTO A WIDER CONVERSATION

ABOUT THE BAND.

YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S FINE.

- SO THIS IS YOUR FIRST SOLO TOUR, RIGHT?
- -THAT'S RIGHT, YEAH.

HOW DOES IT FEEL NOT HAVING
THE REST OF THE BAND WITH YOU?

IT'S STRANGE.

I MEAN IT FEELS, IT FEELS
FUCKING EXPOSING, BASICALLY.

IT FEELS, UM...
YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY,

WHEN I WAS WITH THE BAND
I COULD HIDE,



BEING PART OF THE GROUP...

DEELEY, I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU
AROUND FOR A WHILE.

HOW HAVE...
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

UH, UH, RIGHT HERE,
WORKING AWAY.

I HEAR YOU'RE BACK
IN THE STUDIO.

YEAH, WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE
SOMETHING OUT NEXT YEAR.

- HOW'S IT GOING?
- IT'S HARD.

IT'S FUCKING HARD,
BUT YOU KNOW, CAN'T COMPLAIN.

IT FEELS LIKE
YOU'VE CARVED OUT

A NEW SPACE FOR YOURSELF,
IN TERMS OF THE SONIC LANDSCAPE

YOU'VE MANAGED TO CREATE.

HOW DID YOU GO ABOUT DEFINING
THAT DYNAMIC?

BEING SO FAR AWAY
FROM WHAT FELT NORMAL

WAS KIND OF A TRIP.



I THINK IT...
YOU KNOW, IT REALLY HELPS US

TO GRAB SOMETHING THAT FELT,
YOU KNOW...

LOSE YOURSELF IN.

I DIDN'T WANT IT TO BE
12 SEPARATE IDEAS

GLUED TOGETHER
WITH SOME FLASH PRODUCTION.

I WANTED IT TO FEEL
LIKE A COMPLETE JOURNEY.

I HEARD YOU HAD SOME
DIFFICULTIES WITH YOUR LABEL

WHILE YOU WERE
IN THE STUDIO.

OH, REALLY?
WHERE DID YOU HEAR THAT?

I'M A JOURNALIST.
I TALK TO PEOPLE.

IT ISN'T ABOUT THAT!

IT'S NOT ABOUT WHO SAID
WHAT TO WHO

OR WHAT YOU HEARD
FROM WHOMEVER.

PEOPLE CAN CHAT
IF THEY WANNA CHAT.

FOR ME, IT'S ABOUT
THE MUSIC AND...

LISTENING TO THE NEW ALBUM
I WAS STRUCK BY HOW MUCH

OF A DEPARTURE IT WAS FROM
YOUR LAST COUPLE OF RECORDS.

THERE'S DEFINITELY A MORE AGGRESSIVELY
POLITICAL ANGLE TO THE CONTENT.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TRIGGERED
THAT CHANGE IN DIRECTION?

EVERY RECORD IS POLITICAL.

FOR US, THE POLITICS
CAME OUT OF, WELL,

AN INTERNAL STRUGGLE,
INTERNAL CONFLICT.

IT GOT TO THE POINT
WHERE WE HAD TO SIT DOWN,

GENERALLY DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT
TO KEEP GOING OR END IT.

IT GOT THAT SERIOUS?

YEAH, AFTER 15 YEARS

THERE WAS A LOT THAT NEEDED
TO BE RESOLVED.

MAINLY, WHETHER OR NOT
WE COULD BE IN THE SAME ROOM

WITHOUT IT KICKING OFF

AND WHETHER OR NOT WE COULD
STILL INSPIRE EACH OTHER.

AND OBVIOUSLY YOU DECIDED
THAT YOU COULD.

WELL, WE DECIDED WE WANTED
TO GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY,

AND IF WE WERE GONNA
GO THROUGH,

WE WERE GONNA BE BOLD
AND KICK AWAY

FROM WHAT FELT FAMILIAR.

WE WANTED
TO REINVENT OURSELVES.

WE WANTED TO FEEL
RELEVANT AGAIN.

AND YOU BELIEVE
THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE DONE?

YEAH, YEAH, I DO.

THAT WAS GREAT.

THANKS FOR TALKING
TO THE MAGAZINE.

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

YEAH, FINE.

- YOU KNOW.
- NO, I DON'T KNOW.

YOU CAN TALK TO ME.

- WE CAN STILL...
- CAN WE?

YOU KNOW YOU CAN.

OR YOU COULD,
IF YOU TRIED.

DEELEY...

I STILL CARE ABOUT YOU.

HELLO? ARE YOU THERE?

THIS IS A PRETTY
SERIOUS COLLECTION.

YEAH, IT'S
AN OCCUPATIONAL HAZARD.

MUSIC JOURNALIST, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

I DON'T THINK I'VE HEARD
OF ANY OF THESE BANDS.

OH, DON'T FEEL TOO BAD,

NEITHER HAS 99%
OF THE RECORD BUYING PUBLIC,

SO...

SINCE WHEN ARE THE PUBLIC
STILL BUYING RECORDS?

SO, IDEALIST,
OR JUST STUBBORN?

I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK WE ALL WANT
TO OWN SOMETHING,

PUT TOGETHER WITH SOME CARE
AND A BIT OF ARTISTRY.

I THINK WE NEED IT,
DON'T WE?

IDEALIST IT IS.

PUT SOMETHING ON.

- YEAH?
- YEAH.

WHAT ARE YOU INTO?

ANYTHING.

I WISH I'D LEARNED
TO PLAY GUITAR.

YEAH, SO DO I EVERY TIME I PICK
THAT FUCKING THING UP.

I LIKE IT.

SO HOW DOES THIS...

ARE THERE ANY RULES?

- UH-UH.
- WHAT?

UH, I'M...

- I'M SORRY.
- IT'S OKAY, IT'S OKAY.

THAT WAS FUN.

YEAH.

IT WAS...

OH, YOU HAVE JACEK RUDZKI.

YEAH, IT'S JOHN CAGE, I THINK.

NO, THE DESIGNER.

YOU KNOW HIM?

NO, WE, UM, SHOWED
SOME OF HIS STUFF.

WE?

I WORK IN A GALLERY.

OH, WHICH ONE?

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

SEEN ANYTHING GOOD?

OH, NO, NO, NO,
NOT... NOT REALLY

- WELL.
- SO DO YOU...

HAVE YOU DONE THIS...

DONE THIS BEFORE?

YEAH.

A COUPLE OF TIMES.

WHY?

I COULD ASK YOU
THE SAME QUESTION.

- YOU COULD.
- YEAH, BUT I WON'T

BECAUSE...

- JESUS!
- WHAT?

- LOOK, I...
- WHAT? WHAT IS IT?

- I...
- MICHELLE, WHAT IS IT?

I THINK I... I THINK I JUST...
I DON'T KNOW, I THINK...

- WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO BE...
- I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT LOOKED LIKE A FIGHT.

- A FIGHT?
- YEAH. IT WAS OVER IN A SECOND, BUT...

WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU SEE?

A GIRL STRUGGLING
WITH THIS GUY.

WHAT DID HE LOOK LIKE?

- I DON'T KNOW. ASIAN.
- ASIAN?

CHINESE, ORIENTAL,
I DON'T KNOW.

THEN WHAT DID YOU SEE?

NOTHING. HE GRABBED HER,
THEY FOUGHT, AND THEN THEY...

- AND THEN THEY?
- THEY... THEY DISAPPEARED.

- DISAPPEARED?
- OUT OF SIGHT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

CALLING THE POLICE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I'M LEAVING.

WHY?

I'M NOT TALKING
TO THE POLICE.

WELL, WHAT THE FUCK
AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.

NOT MY PROBLEM.

WAIT.

LOOK...

GET OUT OF MY WAY.

- MICHELLE.
- GET OUT OF MY WAY.

METROPOLITAN POLICE,
HOW CAN I HELP?

HI. I, UH, I THINK...

CALLER?

THERE'S A WOMAN
ACROSS FROM WHERE I LIVE.

I THINK SHE MIGHT
NEED YOUR HELP.

OKAY. CAN YOU TELL ME
WHAT'S HAPPENED?

I THINK...
SHE MIGHT... BE HURT.

YOU THINK SHE MIGHT BE HURT?

CAN YOU GIVE ME HER NAME?

NO, I... I... I DON'T KNOW
HER NAME, SORRY.

THAT'S OKAY. CAN YOU TELL ME
EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAW?

CALLER?

CAN YOU TELL ME
WHAT YOU SAW?

CAN YOU GIVE ME YOUR NAME?

CALLER?
ARE YOU STILL THERE?

CALLER, CAN YOU
GIVE ME YOUR NAME?

I'M GOING TO NEED A LOCATION.
CAN YOU GIVE ME YOUR...

SO, WHAT EXACTLY
DID YOU SEE?

A FIGHT, MAYBE.

I DON'T KNOW,
A SCUFFLE.

A FIGHT, MAYBE A SCUFFLE.

- AND YOU'RE SURE SHE WASN'T INTO IT?
- -WHAT?

YOU KNOW, HOLD ME DOWN,
TIE ME UP, SLAP ME ABOUT.

SOME GIRLS LOVE THAT SHIT.

YEAH, WELL, NOT THIS GIRL.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

I JUST KNOW.

YOU JUST KNOW.

BUT I WOULD KNOW.

HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?

- I SEE HER EVERY NIGHT, PETE.
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU
SEE HER EVERY NIGHT?

I CAN SEE HER FLAT
FROM MY WINDOW,

SO I... I WOULD KNOW
IF SHE WAS INTO ANYTHING WEIRD.

RIGHT, UM, HAVE YOU
CALLED THE POLICE?

YEAH.

NO.

WELL, WHICH IS IT?

- DEELEY?
- NOT YET.

OH, FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

DEELEY, JUST TELL THEM
WHAT YOU SAW,

LET THEM DEAL WITH IT.

- MATE, HOW'VE YOU BEEN?
- FINE.

I'VE BEEN... AM FINE.

COME INTO THE OFFICE.

- WHY?
- WHY NOT?

I'VE GOT...
I'VE GOT TOO MUCH ON.

YOU, UH, READY TO START
COVERING GIGS AGAIN?

I NEED YOU OUT THERE, MAN,
FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT.

IT'S BEEN EIGHT MONTHS.
EIGHT MONTHS, MAN.

I KNOW HOW LONG IT'S BEEN.

LOOK, A FUCKED UP THING
HAPPENED TO YOU,

NOBODY DOUBTS IT,

BUT YOU'VE GOT TO GET BACK
OUT INTO THE WORLD.

JUST GET ME THOSE REVIEWS
BY THE END OF THE DAY.

SURE.

OKAY.

OH, I LIKE THE ELECTRONS PIECE,
BY THE WAY.

THANKS.

THE BUSINESS JUST SORT OF

SUCKED THE LIFE OUT OF ME.

I FELT I... I WAS BECOMING
THIS REALLY JADED PERSON.

WHAT WOULD SAY BROUGHT YOU
THROUGH THAT MOMENT OF...

DARKNESS?

IS THAT THE RIGHT WORD, IS IT?

- DARKNESS?
- YEAH.

DARKNESS SOUNDS
FAIRLY ACCURATE.

I THINK LETTING CERTAIN THINGS
GO WAS WHAT DID IT.

NOT WORRYING ABOUT THE STATE
OF MY CAREER

OR THE STATE OF THE INDUSTRY.

A MILLION OTHER THINGS
THAT FUCK WITH YOUR HEAD

WHEN YOU GET SOME SUCCESS.

JUST CONCENTRATING ON THE MUSIC
WAS INCREDIBLY LIBERATING,

AND I THINK IT GAVE
SOMETHING TO MY SOUND,

A SENSE OF FREEDOM...

HELLO?

ARE YOU STILL THERE?

YEAH, SORRY.

UH, SO...
SO THE ALBUM...

WE WORKED REALLY HARD
TO MAKE THE ALBUM

FEEL ORGANIC
AND CONNECTED.

I WANTED THE PRODUCTION
TO HAVE A SIMPLICITY

THAT ALLOWED YOU TO READ
THE SENTENCES OUT.

I THINK THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE
ARE RESPONDING TO.

AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE
THE SINGLE IS COMING.

EVERYONE IS CONSTANTLY
TRYING TO DO MORE WITH LESS.

STRIP IT BACK
TO THE CORE ESSENTIALS

THERE'S A REAL CHARM
TO THOSE KINDS OF RECORDS.

AND I NOTICED THAT
THEY REALLY MOVE YOU.

AND IF I'M TRYING
TO DO ANYTHING,

IT'S JUST THAT,
I SUPPOSE.

MOVE YOU.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?

GREAT. WELL, I THINK THAT'S
A GOOD PLACE TO END IT.

- YOU GOT EVERYTHING YOU NEED?
- -I THINK SO.

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

JESUS, DEELEY, I'M PRETTY SURE
ONE OF THE REASONS WE PAY TAXES

HAS SOMETHING TO DO
WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT.

HER PLACE WAS A MESS.

WHEREVER SHE WENT SHE DIDN'T
GO THERE VOLUNTARILY.

THEN CALL THE FUCKING POLICE.

THEY'D TAKE A VERY DIM VIEW
OF BREAKING AND ENTERING, PETE.

- LOOK, IF THIS BIRD...
- KEM.

WHAT?

HER NAME'S KEM.
I THINK SHE'S CHINESE.

OKAY, FINE, IF THIS KEM
REALLY IS IN TROUBLE,

I THINK THEY'LL FORGIVE
A BIT OF OVERZEALOUS

DETECTIVE WORK ON YOUR PART.

ARE YOU LISTENING?

- DEELEY?
- YEAH, YEAH.

JESUS CHRIST, FOR THE SECOND
TIME I'M ASKING REVIEWS.

THIS AFTERNOON, PLEASE.

HELLO?

HELLO?

YOU'RE KIDDING ME HERE, MAN,
WHAT IS GOING ON?

YEAH, YEAH, THIS AFTERNOON.

HEY, UM, I'M LOOKING FOR...

I THINK HER NAME'S KEM,
DO YOU KNOW THAT NAME?

PLEASE. PLEASE.
I REALLY NEED TO FIND HER.

I THINK SHE MIGHT
BE IN TROUBLE.

- ANDREW DEELEY.
- MMM?

WHO ARE YOU?

WHY ARE YOU BLEEDING
ON MY FLOOR?

HOW DID YOU GET HERE?

LONDON'S A BIG PLACE, BROTHER,

AND I DON'T ADVERTISE.

NOW, HOW THE FUCK
DID YOU GET HERE?

I'M JUST TRYING TO FIND...

A FRIEND.

HER?

SHE'S YOUR FRIEND?

I OBVIOUSLY RECOGNIZE HER.

HOW DO YOU KNOW HER?

HMM?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WHAT ARE YOU...

GET THE FUCK OFF ME!

- YEAH.

I'D SEE HER.

YOU SEE HER?

SOMETIMES...

FROM MY WINDOW.

YOU SEE HER
FROM YOUR WINDOW?

LOOK, SOMETHING HAPPENED.
SOMEONE TOOK HER.

WHO?

KIDNAPPED. SHE... SHE GOT
KIDNAPPED TWO DAYS AGO.

I SAW THE CAR,
THE... THE PORSCHE,

I SAW HER OUTSIDE THE FLAT
LAST NIGHT AND I... I...

YOU THOUGHT WHAT?
HMM?

I DON'T KNOW...
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I THOUGHT.

LOOK, I BROKE INTO HER FLAT,
FOUND AN ADDRESS.

I... I FOLLOWED SOMEONE
FROM THERE HERE...

- WHO?
- A GIRL.

I DON'T KNOW HER NAME.
I DON'T. PLEASE!

I DON'T KNOW HER NAME.

YOU WANT A LIFT HOME?

RELAX.

WE ALREADY KNOW
WHERE YOU LIVE.

HI, YOU'VE REACHED MICHELLE,
LEAVE ME A MESSAGE.

HEY, MICHELLE,
IT'S DEELEY AGAIN.

LOOK, I REALLY NEED
TO SPEAK TO YOU, OKAY?

SO, GIVE ME A CALL, PLEASE.

ANYTIME.
IT'S IMPORTANT.

HOW THE FUCK
DID YOU FIND ME?

I'M A JOURNALIST,
REMEMBER?

YOU SAID YOU WORKED
IN A GALLERY.

YOU DIDN'T SAY
YOU OWNED IT.

I DIDN'T SAY
A LOT OF THINGS.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WE HAVE TO GO
TO THE POLICE.

- WE?
- YOU.

YOU'VE GOT TO TELL THEM
WHAT YOU SAW.

NO.

THIS IS MY LIFE,
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

I'VE GOT A LOT TO LOSE.

SO DOES KEM.

KEM?

THE GIRL YOU SAW.

DON'T COME BACK HERE.

I COULD MAKE THINGS REALLY
DIFFICULT FOR YOU, AMY.

THAT'S YOUR REAL NAME,
ISN'T IT?

IT IS.

AND YOU COULD.

BUT YOU WON'T.

WHY'S THAT?

BECAUSE EVIDENTLY,
YOU'RE A NICE GUY.

GO HOME AND FORGET ABOUT HER.

FORGET ABOUT THAT NIGHT.
FORGET ABOUT ME.

AND WHAT IF I CAN'T?

TRY HARDER.

SHE'S GONE.
THE PLACE WAS TRASHED

AND THERE WAS BLOOD.

TRY FORGETTING THAT.

I GIVE TO HER
MY HOURS NEXT WEEK.

KEM COMES WHEN I WORK.

I GIVE HER FOOD.

HOW DO YOU KNOW HER?

WE LIVED TOGETHER BEFORE.

THE PLACE IN TOTTENHAM?

FOREST GATE.

THE LANDLORD HE...

WHAT?

THE LANDLORD WHAT?

HE TOOK OUR MONEY,

THEN HE CALLED POLICE.

YOU'RE ILLEGAL,

YOU AND KEM.

I NEED THIS JOB.

TAKE THIS, IT'S OKAY.

WHAT DOES IT SAY?

IT'S FROM HER PARENTS.

THEY SAY THEY MISS HER.

THEY HEARD SHE IS OKAY.

THEY WAIT FOR HER RETURN.

PLEASE HELP HER.

- PETE.
- CONGRATULATIONS. YOU'RE FIRED.

- AGAIN?
- -WHERE IS THE FUCKING COPY?

I HAD TO DO SOMETHING.

YOU HAD TO DO SOMETHING.

DO YOU NOT THINK THIS IS GETTING
A BIT OUT OF HAND, MATE?

- THIS?
- -CHASING SOME GIRL HALF WAY ACROSS LONDON.

I MEAN, I'M ASSUMING THIS
IS THE THING YOU HAD TO DO.

- IT IS.
- WHY? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

HEY, I, UM,
I'M JUST, UH...

WHERE'S... WHERE'S KEM?

- GET OUT!
- LOOK, I'M NOT GOING TO CAUSE YOU ANY TROUBLE,

OKAY? I JUST NEED TO...

GET THE FUCK OUT!

WHAT THE FUCK.

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?

THEY WORK.
THEY'RE LEGAL.

I'M JUST LOOKING FOR KEM.

- I DON'T KNOW KEM.
- YOU DO KNOW KEM.

I DON'T KNOW KEM!

YOU TELL ME.
YOU TELL THE POLICE.

YOU CAN RUN.
THEY CAN RUN,

AS LONG AS YOU'VE GOT
SOMEWHERE TO GO.

I DON'T KNOW
WHERE KEM IS.

I LAST SAW HER
A FEW MONTHS AGO.

WHERE?

WHERE?

SHE USED
TO HAVE BOYFRIEND.

HERE?

IN LONDON?

TAKE ME THERE.

NO, I CANNOT.

WE TRAVEL A LONG TIME
TO GET HERE.

ONLY CERTAIN ROUTE AVAILABLE
WHERE SHE TOU HAVE CONNECTIONS.

- SAY...
- SHE TOU, SNAKEHEAD. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE CALLED.

WE GO THROUGH RUSSIA, SPAIN,
FRANCE, MANY COUNTRIES.

WHAT HAPPENED TO KEM?

JOURNEY EXPENSIVE.
WE GET HERE WE HAVE TO BORROW

FROM LOAN SHARK
FOR BALANCE OF PAYMENT.

- DANGEROUS PEOPLE!
- WHAT HAPPENED TO KEM?

ALL I KNOW, KEM ARRIVED
IN MANCHESTER.

- WHAT HAPPENED THERE?
- I DON'T KNOW.

- DON'T FUCKING LIE TO ME.
- I'M NOT.

KEM IS MY FRIEND.

THEN HELP HER.

HAN.

HELLO.

WHAT'S HE SAYING?

HE SAID HE DON'T KNOW
WHERE KEM IS.

WELL, ASK HIM
ABOUT MANCHESTER.

SHE WAS REPAYING HER DEBT.

THE GANG PUT HER
IN THE GHOST APARTMENT.

GHOST APARTMENT?
WHAT'S A GHOST APARTMENT?

THEY MAKE HER PRETEND
TO BE RICH STUDENT.

ADVERTISE FOR OTHER RICH CHINESE
STUDENT TO SHARE WITH HER,

AND THEY BEAT HER.
TORTURED FOR MONEY.

THEIR PARENTS BLACKMAILED.

KEM RAN FROM THEM.

SHE CAME HERE
WITH DEBTS STILL OWING.

WHO TOLD THEM WHERE...

WAIT, YOU TOLD THEM
WHERE SHE...

WAIT!

DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME.

ALL RIGHT.

- HELLO?
- GUESS WHO?

SO YOU WENT TO SEE HAN.

HE TOLD ME WHAT HAPPENED.

IT SEEMS LIKE
YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE

STAYING ON YOUR FEET
AROUND MY PEOPLE.

- YOUR PEOPLE?
- YEAH.

HE WORKS FOR ME
FROM TIME TO TIME.

THAT'S HOW YOU MET KEM?

CORRECT.

AND THAT'S YOUR PLACE, RIGHT?

IT'S A DROPBOX.
SHE WAS CARETAKING.

KEM OWES A SNAKEHEAD,
CALLED MAMA LAU 12 GRAND.

THAT'S WHO SHE WAS
WORKING FOR IN MANCHESTER.

THIS IS WHERE YOU'LL FIND
THE GUY WHO TOOK HER.

ZHANG,
ONE OF MAMA LAU'S CREW.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

CAUTION.
AT LAST.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT HOW SHE GOT HERE?

DESPERATION
IS A POWERFUL THING.

IT MAKES PEOPLE DO
SOME RECKLESS SHIT.

THAT'S WHY WE FIND DEAD BODIES
IN THE BACK OF LORRIES,

CARGO SHIPS, FISHING BOATS.

DESPERATION MAKES
THE WRONG PEOPLE

START ASKING
THE RIGHT QUESTIONS.

UNFORTUNATELY MY NORTHERN
COMPETITORS DISAGREE

WITH MY TAKE
ON THE SITUATION,

THEY'RE STILL RUNNING AROUND
LIKE IT'S THE 80'S.

ALL THAT OLD SCHOOL SHIT.

FROM WHAT I REMEMBER,
YOU'RE PRETTY GOOD

AT MAKING A POINT.

IT'S A QUESTION OF MANPOWER.

I DON'T HAVE
THE NUMBERS FOR A WAR.

NOT YET.

I LIKE KEM.

BUT I CAN'T BE SEEN
MAKING MOVES AGAINST THEM.

WHAT, AND I CAN?

YOU SAID YOU WANTED
TO HELP HER.

NOW YOU KNOW HOW.

THAT'S HIM.

THAT'S THE GUY.

YOU SURE?

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

I GOT HIM.
ARE YOU STILL THERE?

WHAT WAS I DOING?

OH, YEAH.

EXCUSE ME.

WHAT HAPPENED BACK THERE?

I FOUND OUT WHERE SHE IS.

YOU'RE MARRIED.

- DOES IT MATTER?
- A BIT.

DOES HE KNOW?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

SO, WHAT, YOU JUST
HOOK UP WITH GUYS

ON THE INTERNET FOR FUN?

TO PASS THE TIME?

WE BOTH HAVE OUR REASONS
FOR LIVING THE WAY THAT WE DO.

LIVING THE WAY THAT WE DO.

WHY DON'T WE JUST
LET IT BE WHAT IT WAS.

AND WHAT WAS THAT EXACTLY?

PLEASURE.

NO QUESTIONS,
NO BULLSHIT.

JUST A FEW MOMENTS OF PURE
UNCOMPLICATED PLEASURE.

THAT'S WHAT IT WAS.

NOW WHY DON'T YOU START
GIVING ME SOME ANSWERS,

'CAUSE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
HERE WITH A FEW SECRETS.

THE ANTIDEPRESSANTS?

THE FACT THAT YOU'RE CLEARLY NOT
COMFORTABLE IN YOUR OWN SKIN,

AND OBVIOUSLY INVOLVED
IN SOMETHING

PRETTY FUCKING SCARY.

A WHILE BACK
I WAS REVIEWING A GIG,

A GIRL WAS GETTING
SOME HASSLE OFF A FEW GUYS

AND I STEPPED IN.

THINGS GOT HEATED.

HEATED?

A BROKEN BOTTLE,
FOUR CRACKED RIBS,

22 STITCHES,
AND A PUNCTURED LUNG.

HEATED.

SO HOW DOES KEM
FIT INTO THIS?

I'VE BEEN WATCHING HER.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN
WATCHING HER?

FROM MY FRONT ROOM.

THE BINOCULARS?

HOW LONG?

A WHILE.

- A WHILE?
- A FEW MONTHS.

THAT'S AWFUL.

WHAT, YOU'VE BEEN
SPYING ON THIS GIRL,

NOW YOU WANT TO SAVE HER?

I FOUND A STACK OF THESE
IN HIS CAR.

I THINK THAT'S
WHERE SHE IS.

I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT SAVING HER,

BUT I KNOW SHE NEEDS
SOMEONE TO FIND HER.

IT'S 60 POUNDS
FOR HALF AN HOUR.

90 POUNDS FOR ONE HOUR.

YOU ARRANGE WHATEVER
YOU WANT WITH THE GIRL.

IS THIS EVERYONE?

THESE ARE ALL
THE GIRLS YOU HAVE?

THE OTHER GIRLS
ARE WORKING.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ANYTHING
PARTICULAR, DARLING?

YOU HELP ME.

HELP YOU?

I'M TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE.

WHO YOU LOOK FOR?

KEM.

DO YOU KNOW HER?

- IS SHE HERE?
- NO.

- I'M NOT GOING TO HURT YOU, OKAY?
- I DON'T KNOW.

JUST... JUST TELL ME
THE TRUTH.

- IS SHE HERE?
- BAD FOR US TO TALK.

- YOU'VE SEEN HER?
- I DON'T KNOW.

NO, PLEASE.

PLEASE.

SORRY.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

I'M NEARLY FINISHED, MATE.
JUST GIVE ME A SECOND.

- GET OUT.
- -I SAID I'M NEARLY FINISHED.

GET THE FUCK OUT!

GET OUT!

IT'S OKAY.

OH, NO. NO, NO.

IT'S OKAY.
IT'S... IT'S OKAY.

KEM, RIGHT?

WHO ARE YOU?

A FRIEND.

MOVE.

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU
THINK YOU'RE DOING?

ARE YOU HERE FOR BUSINESS?

- ARE YOU HERE FOR BUSINESS?
- I'M HERE FOR HER.

WELL, THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU
SAY SO DOWNSTAIRS

INSTEAD OF CAUSING ALL THIS
FUCKING COMMOTION?

WE'RE LEAVING.

EXCUSE ME?

I SAID WE'RE LEAVING.

EASY, BOSS, WHAT ANYBODY WANTS
IS A GOOD TIME HERE.

GIVE ME THE FUCKING GUN!

KEM?

WAIT!

PUT IT DOWN.

PUT IT DOWN.

DEELEY? DEELEY?
GET UP.

DEELEY.

DEELEY.

KEM.

THEY'RE GETTING AWAY!

REM! REM!

DEELEY!

REM!

DEELEY!

DEELEY!

DEELEY!

SHE'S GONE.

SHE'S GONE.

SHE'S GONE.

I NEED TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
