HE SIGHS

Lisa, fuck off.

Listen, something happened.
Rodney, it's Tiff!

Babe, slow down, slow down.
It's Tiff!

He took something! I called
an ambulance, but it was too late.

You should get going.

I thought we were going
to get breakfast?

That's just something nice I say
when I want to screw someone.

Sun's up now, time to leave.
RODNEY SNIFFS

Fucking cokehead!

DISTANT SIREN WAILS

Abso-fucking-lutely not. Why not?

I've said all I need to say
to that man,

plus, if we walk in there,
we might not walk back out.

You know what I mean?

This is Britain, there are rules,
even for criminals.

No, let me tell you where
there are rules - here, this buffet.

Brits love this shit.

Huh! Try and cut in line
at the cereal bar, see what happens.

The big stuff? They're maniacs!

This fucking country.

Mr Vickers,
it is your responsibility

to exhaust all non-violent options.

I don't believe anyone
wants a conflict,

but you need to go to
the negotiating table.

Negotiate with what?

You said it yourself,
they are animals

and they're looking for a fight.

If Abbot is smart, he'll want to do
everything he can to avoid one.

VICKERS SIGHS

Fine, I'll give it a go.

But if I end the day hanging upside
down in some cold storage unit,

that's very much on you. All right?

# Oh, it makes no difference

# What you say or do

# I'm so forgiving... #

UPBEAT MUSIC

Can I help you, Miss?

I'm looking for something heavy.

Heavy?

Yeah. What you playing? I'm not.

Well, some people
swear by a crowbar, or a pipe.

But for me, nothing beats a bat.

Light enough to swing, but you will
knock a motherfucker out no problem.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Er...who is this now?

Hello? Does it speak? Is it a mute?

Hello.

WHISPERS: Who are you?

Taki. Ah!

I'm an entrusted advisor to your
father in need of a fast cash loan.

What?

Money. I don't have money.

That is crushing. OK.

Wait! Can I come with you?

Bitch, if you can keep up.

That means yes.

Where are we going?
To a confrontation.

Do you know what confrontation
means? Yes.

Do you mind a confrontation?

No. Good. That will help.

Please tell Mr Abbot that
Mori-Kenzo of Tokyo

graciously begs
a moment of his time.

WHISPERS: I'm shitting myself,
in case you were wondering.

Just keep your cool. I am cool.

Jesus Christ!

Well, well, well!

Huh! I weren't expecting this

when I was dipping my eggy soldiers
this morning.

I thought you'd fucked off back
to Baltimore.

Pittsburgh. Wherever.

Konnichiwa, and, er...arigato.

Thanks very much for that.
It's, er...very kind of you.

Tyler, can you get
a bottle of Bunraku down, please?

Sit down, gents. Welcome.

So...right.

Well, look, I know who you are
cos I had you followed.

Bit surprised to see you walk
in here, to tell you the truth. Ha!

Here you are,
so, er...let's deal with that.

We have left a notice of where we
were going. So if we don't return...

Yeah, look, I understand,

you've come in here under
the flag of peace, I get it.

And I can assure you,
nothing's going to happen to you

during the course
of this meeting, all right?

On that, you have my word.

For what it's worth. Is Yuto here?

He's out the back,
I'll just go and get him, shall...

No, 'course he ain't fucking here.

This is for you.

Thank you.

So, er...

..when did this happen?
When did you...?

I followed up a lead on Yuto
and found Mr Vickers.

Is that right, Mr Vickers?

He wants Yuto, I want my shit back,

so all roads lead to you,
like fucking Damascus.

It's Rome. Whatever.

Yeah. Yeah. No, look,
what can I tell you?

I was going through
a bit of a St Petersburg phase.

And now you're in a Japanese phase?

It's not a phase.
Oh, no, it's a lifelong passion.

You know what they're
big on in Japan? Honour, right?

So, why don't you
honour our arrangement

and give me my money back? Because
I've invested it, Vickers, yeah?

That means spent it. Yeah?

And you can have it back
once it starts to pay...

I... Perhaps as a show of faith, you
can make an upfront return payment.

Say, 10%? Good. Fine, fine.
As a goodwill gesture.

Yeah, but what about you?

I can't give you 10% of what
you want, can I?

Unless, I dunno, he cuts another
one of his fingers off. No.

I require all of Yuto.

Yeah. Well, I can't do that for you.

There are powerful men in Japan
looking for him.

And if I cannot bring him home
peacefully,

I have no doubt that they will come
here looking for him.

They can send who they want,
as long as you tell them not to send
anyone they want back. All right?

Violence is bad for business,

and you can easily avoid it
by accommodating us in our requests.

I wish you hadn't done that.
Done what?

Threatened me. I'm not threatening
you. No, you did, you threatened me.

You said I can easily avoid violence
if I give you and Vickers
what you want.

That's a threat
in anyone's language.

I apologise. I fucking don't!

Look, do you want another beating?

Cos I will happily roll my sleeves
up! This is a business meeting!

It's respectable. We are men.

Yeah, well, er...let's knock this
on the head now cos my cream
is beginning to curdle.

Mr Abbot, Yuto does not belong here.

The British police are closing in
on him.

Please let me take him
back to Japan, for all of our sakes.

It is my understanding that he has
every intention of returning

to Japan, Mori-San, OK?

I mean, we all do.

Come on, Vickers.

Huh! Get the fuck outta here!

Shake his hand.

There you go.

You don't want to mess with me,
Connor, trust me. I have backing.

Oh, fuck it!

Argh! No! I'm sorry, Vickers.

It's just I can't abide
false bravado, it rankles me.

It always has done.

Let's see how tough you are
when I shove the Albanian mafia
up your ass!

What's he talking about?
Mr Abbot, please...

Look, get him out of here!

And here's a bit of advice
for both of you - get on a plane,

cos London is not a safe place
for you two any more.

Truth be told, it never was.
All right?

And don't forget your pressie.
Here you go.

It's disrespectful.

Huh? Fuck him!

You were supposed to keep your cool.
Oh, Christ, this is a nightmare!

This is a goddamn waking nightmare.
You know what I just did?

I lost the element of surprise, and
that's one of the useful elements.

I read that somewhere. It was worth
a try. Yeah, it was worth a try.

And now, the shotgun-wielding
Albanians will get their turn.

That is a very bad idea.
Ah, the latest in a long line.

What don't you do what he says?

Why don't you get on a plane
and go home?

I think you'd be a lot happier
staying out of this.

Yuto is involved in this fight,
so I am!

Fine. I guess I'll just let you know
when the shit hits the fan, then.

We'll start a fucking WhatsApp group
or something.

Sarah.

You left your brick in my flat
last night.

What? You threw a fucking brick
through my window!

Weitzmann.

You're all drinking together
like nothing happened!

I just want to get on with my life,
Sarah. Oh, bullshit!

I am watching you!
You're making it worse for yourself.

Just fuck off, will you? For
God's sake, just fuck off! Don't!

Why'd you come to London, anyway?

I ran away. Oh, you ran away?

To the city where your father is?

You're doing it wrong, darling.
Got it upside down.

Come on.

BANGING ON DOOR

FOOTSTEPS

Yes?

Brian,
these are two of Tiff's friends.

I didn't catch your names.
Oh, sorry.

My name is Rodney and this is, um...

Taki. This is my friend Taki.

Rodney.

Oh, he mentioned me, then?

He mentioned you, too.

They're still looking into what...
It was pills.

Guess he wanted our attention.
Where would he have got them from?

Boys like him know
how to get things like that.
They learn from boys like you?

They learn a lot of things
from boys like me, yeah.

You were lovers, weren't you?
Yeah, for a while, yeah.

He came back to us for a bit.

After you.

Cried his eyes out.

Then he was gone again.

That was the last time we saw him.

He didn't want to be here.

We wanted him here. Did you?

We never... Never what?

Planned to have a little queen
for a son?

You're crossing a line.
He didn't want to come back
somewhere he wasn't welcome.

He was always welcome here.
Bullshit. Bullshit!

Who do you think you are?
How dare you? Get out.

I want to go to his room. Get out!

He has something of mine
and I want it.

RUTH GASPS
I want something to remember him by.

All you ever did was cause him pain.

I loved him.

You broke his heart!

Why would you do that?

I don't know.

It's at the top of the stairs,
on the left.

I know how that looked in there,
but...

Tiff told me, so don't be fooled.

Fucking dads! It's all they can do.

I mean, look at us,
what do they expect?

Should have a fucking licence,
that's what I think.

Should have a fucking licence
to be...

INCOMING CALL

I'd like you to study the image
via the online portal

and prepare your initial thoughts.

Thanks very much.
I'll see you next Thursday.

I had him,
right there, in front of me.

I could have reached out
and touched him.

Did you try to bring him in?

I couldn't do it.
Couldn't, or wouldn't?

Ms Weitzmann...you're
a police officer.

Your duty's to your job, not to me.

I fear I have already compromised...

It's Yom Kippur. Sorry?

Yom Kippur, tonight.
It's a Jewish thing.

You're supposed to fast
and feel guilty about stuff.

I usually skip the fasting part.

I'm really good at the guilt,
though.

My mum and dad would make a big meal
and we'd all ask for forgiveness

for our transgressions and, you
know, receive atonement and stuff.

Massive leap, but I wonder if that
might not be something
you could use?

I can't.
My daughter arrived last night.

So bring her.

Truth is, I could do with not being
alone this evening.

Plus,
you've still got to eat, right?

What we doing here?

Guard the house. Guard.

OK.

Please, just...anything.

Hello!

You must be Taki. Hi!

Well, come in! Come in!

Rodney, the glasses
are in the cabinet up there.

Darling, could you grab a potato
masher from the pot over there?

Your window got smashed. Hm?

Oh, yeah. Which cupboard, Sarah?

Great. Can you do the potatoes?

Oh, Kenzo, I think there's
more butter in the fridge.

Is this the only wine you've got?
Lots of this, a splash of milk

and then really go to town on them.

She doesn't know what "go to town"
means.

Sorry, I should've mentioned
you'd all end up helping me cook.

Huh! It's all right.

Out of the window, please.

So, Taki, how are you liking England
so far?

Yes. Going to show her
all the sights, aren't I?

Who better to show her around London
than a real-life queen?

Fuck you! Queen?

Cos she's a fabulous old bitch
with a hat for every occasion?

I don't think she got that.
HE CHUCKLES

Vickers was in here earlier.

Vickers?

Yeah, you remember him. Whiny bloke,
silly accent, punchable face.

Turns out he's still in the country.

He's come in here, threatening
a war with the Albanians.

Jesus, the Albanians! And here's
an interesting wrinkle, Donna.

He's only turned up with
that Japanese policeman.

You know, the one you told me
not to worry about.

So, do you still think
I don't need to worry about him?

I told him to go back home.

Well, I don't think
he listened to you, Donna.

Did you tell him what'd happen
to him if he didn't go back home?

Yeah.

Well, you got a bit of work to go
and do, then, ain't ya?

I'll sort it. Tyler?

Call the restaurant,
I want my table.

Tell Alkan and Ricky to meet me
there.

I want to find out what the fucking
hell's going on with this thing.

Yuto, as well? No, not Yuto.
Leave him under his rock.

No more warnings for this guy,
Donna. No more second chances.

And that goes for you, too.

Cos if I can't
rely on you to deliver for me

on simple stuff like this,
you're no use to me.

And I'll make fucking sure you're
no use to anyone else either!

So I should state, by the way,
on the scale of Jewishness,

with ten being Jesus
and one being a gammon salesman

working on a Saturday,
I'm around a three.

But basically,
what we do is eat all this food

to break the fast that none of us
have been observing,

and we talk about who we want
forgiveness from,

or what we want forgiveness for.

Or something.

INCOMING CALL

Excuse me.

Hm!

Who'd like to go first?

Taki?

What would you like forgiveness for,
Taki?

Oh, what about when you stabbed that
boy with a scissors in the thigh?

What?!

I'm not sorry about that.

He was grabbing me.

I would like forgiveness for...

..leaving home without letting
my mother know where I was.

She was worried.

Well, by the power invested in me,

by the Yom and the shalom
and all the hummus,

I hereby grant unto you the special
forgiveness of the Jewish people.

Am I doing it right?

Go on, then, it's your turn.

Yeah, OK, me.

I want forgiveness for...

..for bad decisions. Hm!

And bad intentions.

Shit, if we need to ask forgiveness
for intentions,

we're going to be here all night.

INCOMING CALL

Rodney, bear in mind
we only have so long.

Mm.

So...I would like forgiveness...

Um...I would like forgiveness for...

HE SIGHS AND CLEARS THROAT

I broke a nice boy's heart and...

..I made him believe that I was
going to be his whole world.

And then I left.

And...he was alone.

And I didn't care.

I make people get close to me

and then I push them away
and I don't know why.

Do I get forgiveness for that?

Do I get forgiveness for
the ten missed calls

he left on my phone
the night that he died?

Yes.

Going to need to get some more wine
at this rate.

Thank you.

SARAH SIGHS
Kenzo?

HE SIGHS

Um...

INCOMING CALL

Excuse me.

Probably would've been quite boring,
anyway.

OK, so no offence,
but Taki is still hungry.

Oh!

Did you not like the food, Taki?

I'm sorry, but you tried to fill
this delicate lotus flower

full of 35lb
of heavily-buttered mash.

I'm surprised we didn't have
an incident. I'm so sorry.

I've got a Viennetta in the freezer.

Viennetta? No.

There's a Japanese takeout
around the corner.

It wouldn't hurt her to pop out.

I'll have her home by 11.

Ten. 11:10. Understood.

If you are really serious
about taking him down,

then you should know in an hour,
you're going to get maybe
the best chance to do it.

And...

..why exactly would you be
telling me this?

How do you quit a job you're not
allowed to walk away from?

You light a fire and run.

He'll be in the restaurant.

Couple of guys with him, that's it.
CLICK!

Tyler?

Listen, I've changed my mind.

I want the whole war council there
tonight. Everyone, yeah?

Except Yuto,
he's got to keep his head down,

but the rest of them,
get them over there.

Sure thing.

This was Tiff's favourite bar.
