The Fear (2012–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript
Richie Beckett has a murky past but is now a respected businessman in Brighton. His sons Cal and Matty have taken over the illegal side of the family business and are under pressure to form an alliance with the Albanian Marin and his gang of pimps and drug-importers. As insurance the married Cal is leaned on when the gang kills a girl he has slept with and threaten to implicate him. Cal calls in Richie to get rid of the evidence and Richie makes it clear to the Albanians he has no desire to join them. Matty,the calmer of the two boys,tells Richie he believes he should have agreed as well as showing concern that,after years dry,his father has started drinking heavily. Matty tells his mother Jo of his concerns and is also perturbed to learn that Richie violently assaulted a cyclist who has annoyed him. Jo asks Richie for an explanation but Richie gets a call from Cal to come to town where a car is blazing.
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
the man who's going
to make it all happen,
chief sponsor, Mr Richie Beckett.
CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
Thank you, Richie.
Bit early in the day for me, Brian.
Definitely a champagne moment,
Richie.
It'd be great to see the old girl
restored to her former glory.
Just a second, gentlemen. >
Yeah, it's good to give
something back, eh?
Give my goodbye's.
Give my goodbye's.
Thanks, Richie, will do.
All right, bye-bye.
Whoa!
Sorry, mate!
I need to get out of this.
PHONE RINGS
Ah, shit!
Matty...
Where are you?
Where are you?
'Two minutes.'
'This is your fucking call,
mate.'
'Look, I said I'm on my way.'
Get up.
What should I do?
How should I know?
I not go back to them.
You belong to them, sweetheart.
Now move!
Hey, Wes. Wes, you got one these?
Not on what you pay me, Rich.
Listen to this.
♪ Finished with my woman
♪ Cos she couldn't help me
with my mind
♪ People think I'm insane
♪ Because I am frowning
all the time... ♪
Aaah! Ah!
Shit!
Put that down!
BEEPING
Get in the car! Get in the car.
Sorry, mate, yeah?
All right!
Fuck you! Go fuck yourself!
Rich.
What?
You OK?
Yeah.
MOTOR APPROACHING
Hey, what's happening?
I'm so sorry I'm late,
fucking traffic.
I'm just going to take a shower
and then go to the hotel, OK?
Thanks, Ryan.
Can you drop
the others off at the gallery
and tell Donna
I'll be down after lunch?
That I can do.
Thank you.
Confusion - one and two.
No kidding.
Eddie Timms.
He's hot.
Exhibited in Berlin last summer.
I wanted to see
if we could live with them.
Yeah.
I could tell you right now
if you want.
I thought you were
launching your pier.
I was. Champagne.
What a waste.
Ah!
What have you done to your hand?
I thought you were
at a gallery today.
Yeah, I said I'd take Janey
and the kids to the Lido.
Would Granddad like a nice swim?
Have a shower then.
You stink.
So, what's this?
Father's Day come round again,
has it?
So, bunch of Kosovos
start pushing you around,
you come running to Daddy
to sort it out for you.
Look, no-one is pushing us around,
this is business.
It is very good business.
They are actually Albanians.
Yeah, I know who they are.
They live in caravans
and they pick cabbages.
If you trust them,
they threw rhubarb at you.
The farmworkers are just a cover.
We get in now,
we can work with them.
Can we?
It'd be an expansion for us,
like a merger.
Why the fuck would I want
to merger with anyone?
Because it's like expand or die.
Isn't it?
Is it?
You're awful quiet.
Well, I think the essence of it...
Oh, fuck the essence!
Look, here's how it is, right?
They're bringing in girls big time.
They've got established
supply lines all across Europe
and the girls are bringing in dope.
And this...
this is a prime location,
the docks - the fishing boats,
the container boats...
Yeah, I know the geography.
So, we take a share of all that.
For what?
Our legitimacy,
our police contact, our property,
our standing.
We pull resources,
we split the profits.
And what have you got
riding on all this?
Nothing.
Just business.
All I want is peace.
I haven't lifted a finger to anyone
in this town for 15 years
and I have no intention
of starting now.
So, the next time you see them,
these new friends of yours,
you tell them for me, they can take
their slave girls, their kiddie porn
and whatever else comes crawling out
of that cabbage water
and they find another town.
Dad, you can't do that.
Dad, you can't do that.
Another town!
You don't get it anymore, do you?
You just don't get it.
What don't I get?
There's no fucking point.
He been bigging himself up again?
Huh?
Making promise he can't keep?
People may have been led to believe
we're slightly further down the road
to negotiation
than is perhaps the case.
I take it that's a yes.
And these people...
..they serious?
Yeah.
Yeah, they're serious.
What are we going to do?
Dad.
What?
I said, what are we going to do?
I've just said, haven't I?
Where you going?
Just drive.
The boys still got Donny running
security, haven't they?
All right, Donny.
All right, Rich.
I haven't seen you out for a while.
Shock inspection.
How is business?
Yeah, it's not bad.
Yeah?
It's all right.
Everything in order?
Absolutely, no worries.
Good. That's good to know.
Friends of yours?
Not friends, I've seen them around.
Bit of business.
Buying or selling?
You know how it is, Rich.
Yeah.
I'm starting to see
exactly how it is, Donny.
Layla was asking about you
the other day.
"Long time," she said, "long time."

Everything'll get sorted, Marin.
There's no worries, mate.
You said this a week ago
and all we have a stock.
It is time to move.
Everything's sweet.
Just trust me.
Come here.
Relax. Relax!
What's your name?
Zana.
I go toilet?
Eh?
Toilet?
Yeah, it's through the bedroom,
en suite.
And run the shower
while you're at it.
Oh, dear!
What?
Oi!
What's going on?
Oi!

Cal.
Marin.
You tell him
we spoke to the old man?
They're...
They're gonna kill us.
Not yet.
This is just so we know they mean it.
They mean it, of course
they mean it. We know that.
Yeah. We know that.
No. Don't call the old man.
For fuck's sake.
PHONE RINGS
Hey, Matty. Beautiful boy.
OK.
Do not touch anything.
You text me the address.
Right. Keep her there.
Text me the address.
Fucking hell!
On the bus, Wes.
How is he?
He's not good.
I'm sorry, Dad.
Through here.
Jesus Christ.
What the fuck
have you got me into?
I, um...
I just said we'd talk to you.
I never...
I never promised them anything.
I didn't...
They...
They're just...
evil... Just evil bastards.
Yeah, well...
So am I.
Do you have any bin liners
in this fuckin' shit hole?
Kitchen.
Why would they... Why would they
take her body and just leave that?
Because,
you dim-witted little fuck...
..you're all over that body.
The body is their insurance.
You go home after this.
You go home to your wife
and your kids.
What about her?
We take her.
We take her.
Then what?
We just take her.
Shame Mum's not here.
We could have had a picnic.
Never mind your mum.
What do I tell the Rotary Club?
What you do to your hand?
Knocked it when I was running.
Knocked it when I was running.
Yeah?
That's not what Wes said.
What did Wes say?
He said you lost it with some kid.
And how did I do that,
according to Wes?
He didn't say. How did you do it?
Who knows?
You been drinking again?
I smelt it on you
when you got to the flat.
I had my first drink
in three years. Tonight.
Just as well. Wouldn't you say?
< It's on!
SEAGULLS' CAWING ECHOES
Dad. >
Left here.
I know this place.
(SPEAKS ALBANIAN)
Hey, hey, she stays with me.
Get your fuckin' hands off her.
So...
Are we going to do this out here,
or what?
(SPEAKS ALBANIAN)
Care to dance?
Just lift up your arms.
You get all the movies
out in cabbage land, then, do you?
Yeah, we get all the movies.
Especially the old ones.
Come on.
I said, come on.
My father, Vajkal.
My brother, Davit.
No, no, she stays.
You speak English?
Enough.
Nice place.
It is temporary.
Let's hope so.
Now we do business.
Not left us much choice, have you?
Your boy is weak.
He makes promises in your name,
promises he cannot honour.
< He's young.
In this country, children weak.
Soft.
Hmm. Unlike yours, who go around
chopping young girls' heads off.
You are here. So we win.
No problem.
So what's the deal?
You work with us. Or we destroy you.
More of a merger is
what I was told.
We talk, we make deals later.
But now...you understand.
Yeah, I understand.
But I want that girl's body.
No, my friend. We keep.
You have girl. How many you want?
I've told you, I'll make the deals.
But I want that girl's body.
I want my boy safe.
Our business is over. Now you go.
My friend...
You want cigarette?
No pussy laws here for smoking.
< Dad?
Dad.
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
Get him! Don't fucking move!
Don't fucking move!
Matty... Get him out.
Get him out, out!
Fucking stay there.
Up! Up!
I'll fuckin' pop him! I'll fuckin'
pop him! We're coming out!
Hey, hey!
I swear to God,
I'll blow his fuckin' head off!
I'll blow his fuckin' head off!
Tell him to put the fuckin' guns
down!
(SHOUTS IN ALBANIAN)
Put your fucking guns down!
Put it fuckin' down now!
Dad, stay here.
Put it down!
Stay there!
Cal.
Dad, get in.
Dad! >
I'll blow his fuckin' head off!
Put 'em down!
Chuck him in.
Chuck him in!
Get in, you fuckin' cunt! Get in!
Matty, they're following!
Chuck him! Chuck him out!
Shut the door!
The door!
Fuckin' door's shut!
Oh, thank fuck.
I thought we were dealing with them.
Huh?
I thought that was
the whole fuckin' point!
Dad...
Where did you get this from?
Dad, where did you get it from?
Where's the girl?
Fuck the girl!
Do you know what you've just done?
Have you any fucking idea?!
POLICE SIREN
Ah, that can't be us.
That's not us, is it?
Can't be.
They can't have put
the Feds on us. Shit.
What shall I do? What do I do?
Pull over.
All right, sir?
Yeah, good. What's up?
You been busy?
There a problem?
You own this?
Yeah.
Why d'you want to know?
A unicyclist?!
It's a man on a bicycle
with one wheel.
Yeah, I know what a unicycle is.
Someone fitting your description
assaulted a unicyclist
down on the front
yesterday morning.
He identified the car.
Got the registration.
Hurt your hand?
Do you know who I am?
You were on the front
yesterday morning?
Yeah.
I was presenting a cheque
to the pier refurbishment fund.
A large cheque.
Did you encounter a unicyclist?
I don't know.
Yeah, someone brushed by me and...
He claims your car pulled up at
traffic lights a few minutes later.
You jumped out. Assaulted him.
Drove off.
SOUND BECOMES MUFFLED
Mr Beckett?
SOUND RETURNS TO NORMAL
I have no memory of that.
We need it Tuesday afternoon
at the latest.
Right, see you tomorrow
with the others.
DOOR OPENS
Dad?
DOOR CLOSES
Dad?!
Dad?
What's happening?
Nothing's happening.
So get out there and get that thing
out of the boot for Christ's sake.
Oh, shit.
It's sorted. They've got nothing.
Your mum in?
Out last night, I think.
OK, get down to the gallery
and pick up her up.
I don't want the cabbage heads
moving in on her.
Dad, what's going on?
With you.
Nothing's going on with me.
What you talking about?
The kid.
The kid?! The kid's bollocks!
It's starting to stink a bit.
Jesus Christ almighty! Get it off of
there. Not in here!
What do you want me to do with it?
Put it in the garage.
In the freezer.
Respectfully.
Dad, got to say, earlier,
you were quality.
What'd I do?
(LAUGHS)
Huh?
Ah?!
Hey?!
(LAUGHS)
What do I tell her?
Tell who?
Mum. For fuck's sake, Dad.
Just tell her there's been
some bother.
Just don't mention
the stuff about the freezer.
She's fussy about food.
So why did you do it?
Do what?
Do what?
Smack that guy.
I have never hit a kid.
Not the kid. The old man.
The Albanian.
We could have done a deal.
We had a choice.
I did what I had to do, all right?
I will not be fucked with.
What did you do, Dad?
Huh?
At the farm. What did you do?
I'm going for a shower. Go pick
your mum up from the gallery.
The farm, Dad? What did you do
with the kid on the front?
Hey, hey, hey.
I don't answer to you, all right?
You can't remember, can you?
You're drinking again, aren't you?
It's fucking your head.
Dad!
BREATHING BECOMES LOUD AND MUFFLED
Dad!
I didn't start this.
This is not my fuck up!
I put it next to the peas.
That's OK, isn't it?
What's up?
What d'you think's up?
The old man's back, Matty.
You'd just better get used to it.
VOICES OUTSIDE WINDOW
SEAGULLS SQUAWK
This would be perfect here...
..only just got away.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
Why couldn't he just have
talked with them?
He could have. Yeah.
He lost it.
He's drinking again.
Oh, for God's sake...
He admitted he had a drink
last night.
Said it was the first time
for three years.
I thought we were over all that.
You haven't noticed anything.
I suppose he's been a bit
vague lately.
I thought maybe some unsuitable
woman was giving him the run around.
You talked to him?
I tried to.
He doesn't talk to me.
Cal?
Cal?
Pointless. Mum, it has to be you.
No. No.
You have to go home. Mum!
(Mum)
(Mum)
(I can't. I've got drinks with
Eddie.)
(We're setting up his exhibition.)
Eddie will have to wait, Mum.
You need to be safe.
And you've got to talk to Dad.
There's too much at stake now.
A CAR APPROACHES
So are you going to tell me
what this is all about?
I would've thought Matty's
already done that.
He told me about Albanian gangs
moving in. And Cal!
What about him?
Some girl he got involved with that
he shouldn't.
You know Cal.
He thinks with his dick!
You know Cal.
He thinks with his dick!
Well, he's your son.
And then you lost it.
What d'you mean I "lost it"?
What d'you mean I "lost it"?
You lost it with some Albanian.
OK, if you say so. I lost it.
(SIGHS) You do remember?
Of course I remember.
I think I need a drink.
Do you want one?
I don't drink.
Good for you.
Is there anything you
want to tell me?
Is there anything you
want to tell me?
There's nothing I want to tell you.
BANGING FROM DOWNSTAIRS

FOOTSTEPS
Can I get in?
What?
Please.
Are you pissed?
Are you pissed?
You're my wife.
Get out, Richie.
Are you still fucking the poet,
artist, juggler?
Or have you moved on to someone new?
What's it to you?
I'm jealous.
No, you're not.
You think they're all twats.
I just want a cuddle.
Go to bed.
What are you doing?
I'm not in. I'm just on.
This is cosy.
It's ridiculous.
Mmm. You smell nice.
Well, you smell disgusting.
You're drinking again, aren't you?
After everything
we went through before.
I think there may be some
confusion on the drinking thing.
Matty said you hit some kid.
As well as all this...
I don't know.
There's something going on in
my head.
What?
I don't know.

OK. Lock the doors!
Don't let anyone in.
All right? You stay here. Take this.
No. I don't want it. I can't do this
again, for fuck's sake!

according to Wes?
He didn't say. How did you do it?
Who knows?
You been drinking again?
I smelt it on you
when you got to the flat.
I had my first drink
in three years. Tonight.
Just as well. Wouldn't you say?
< It's on!
SEAGULLS' CAWING ECHOES
Dad. >
Left here.
I know this place.
(SPEAKS ALBANIAN)
Hey, hey, she stays with me.
Get your fuckin' hands off her.
So...
Are we going to do this out here,
or what?
(SPEAKS ALBANIAN)
Care to dance?
Just lift up your arms.
You get all the movies
out in cabbage land, then, do you?
Yeah, we get all the movies.
Especially the old ones.
Come on.
I said, come on.
My father, Vajkal.
My brother, Davit.
No, no, she stays.
You speak English?
Enough.
Nice place.
It is temporary.
Let's hope so.
Now we do business.
Not left us much choice, have you?
Your boy is weak.
He makes promises in your name,
promises he cannot honour.
< He's young.
In this country, children weak.
Soft.
Hmm. Unlike yours, who go around
chopping young girls' heads off.
You are here. So we win.
No problem.
So what's the deal?
You work with us. Or we destroy you.
More of a merger is
what I was told.
We talk, we make deals later.
But now...you understand.
Yeah, I understand.
But I want that girl's body.
No, my friend. We keep.
You have girl. How many you want?
I've told you, I'll make the deals.
But I want that girl's body.
I want my boy safe.
Our business is over. Now you go.
My friend...
You want cigarette?
No pussy laws here for smoking.
< Dad?
Dad.
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
Get him! Don't fucking move!
Don't fucking move!
Matty... Get him out.
Get him out, out!
Fucking stay there.
Up! Up!
I'll fuckin' pop him! I'll fuckin'
pop him! We're coming out!
Hey, hey!
I swear to God,
I'll blow his fuckin' head off!
I'll blow his fuckin' head off!
Tell him to put the fuckin' guns
down!
(SHOUTS IN ALBANIAN)
Put your fucking guns down!
Put it fuckin' down now!
Dad, stay here.
Put it down!
Stay there!
Cal.
Dad, get in.
Dad! >
I'll blow his fuckin' head off!
Put 'em down!
Chuck him in.
Chuck him in!
Get in, you fuckin' cunt! Get in!
Matty, they're following!
Chuck him! Chuck him out!
Shut the door!
The door!
Fuckin' door's shut!
Oh, thank fuck.
I thought we were dealing with them.
Huh?
I thought that was
the whole fuckin' point!
Dad...
Where did you get this from?
Dad, where did you get it from?
Where's the girl?
Fuck the girl!
Do you know what you've just done?
Have you any fucking idea?!
POLICE SIREN
Ah, that can't be us.
That's not us, is it?
Can't be.
They can't have put
the Feds on us. Shit.
What shall I do? What do I do?
Pull over.
All right, sir?
Yeah, good. What's up?
You been busy?
There a problem?
You own this?
Yeah.
Why d'you want to know?
A unicyclist?!
It's a man on a bicycle
with one wheel.
Yeah, I know what a unicycle is.
Someone fitting your description
assaulted a unicyclist
down on the front
yesterday morning.
He identified the car.
Got the registration.
Hurt your hand?
Do you know who I am?
You were on the front
yesterday morning?
Yeah.
I was presenting a cheque
to the pier refurbishment fund.
A large cheque.
Did you encounter a unicyclist?
I don't know.
Yeah, someone brushed by me and...
He claims your car pulled up at
traffic lights a few minutes later.
You jumped out. Assaulted him.
Drove off.
SOUND BECOMES MUFFLED
Mr Beckett?
SOUND RETURNS TO NORMAL
I have no memory of that.
We need it Tuesday afternoon
at the latest.
Right, see you tomorrow
with the others.
DOOR OPENS
Dad?
DOOR CLOSES
Dad?!
Dad?
What's happening?
Nothing's happening.
So get out there and get that thing
out of the boot for Christ's sake.
Oh, shit.
It's sorted. They've got nothing.
Your mum in?
Out last night, I think.
OK, get down to the gallery
and pick up her up.
I don't want the cabbage heads
moving in on her.
Dad, what's going on?
With you.
Nothing's going on with me.
What you talking about?
The kid.
The kid?! The kid's bollocks!
It's starting to stink a bit.
Jesus Christ almighty! Get it off of
there. Not in here!
What do you want me to do with it?
Put it in the garage.
In the freezer.
Respectfully.
Dad, got to say, earlier,
you were quality.
What'd I do?
(LAUGHS)
Huh?
Ah?!
Hey?!
(LAUGHS)
What do I tell her?
Tell who?
Mum. For fuck's sake, Dad.
Just tell her there's been
some bother.
Just don't mention
the stuff about the freezer.
She's fussy about food.
So why did you do it?
Do what?
Do what?
Smack that guy.
I have never hit a kid.
Not the kid. The old man.
The Albanian.
We could have done a deal.
We had a choice.
I did what I had to do, all right?
I will not be fucked with.
What did you do, Dad?
Huh?
At the farm. What did you do?
I'm going for a shower. Go pick
your mum up from the gallery.
The farm, Dad? What did you do
with the kid on the front?
Hey, hey, hey.
I don't answer to you, all right?
You can't remember, can you?
You're drinking again, aren't you?
It's fucking your head.
Dad!
BREATHING BECOMES LOUD AND MUFFLED
Dad!
I didn't start this.
This is not my fuck up!
I put it next to the peas.
That's OK, isn't it?
What's up?
What d'you think's up?
The old man's back, Matty.
You'd just better get used to it.
VOICES OUTSIDE WINDOW
SEAGULLS SQUAWK
This would be perfect here...
..only just got away.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
Why couldn't he just have
talked with them?
He could have. Yeah.
He lost it.
He's drinking again.
Oh, for God's sake...
He admitted he had a drink
last night.
Said it was the first time
for three years.
I thought we were over all that.
You haven't noticed anything.
I suppose he's been a bit
vague lately.
I thought maybe some unsuitable
woman was giving him the run around.
You talked to him?
I tried to.
He doesn't talk to me.
Cal?
Cal?
Pointless. Mum, it has to be you.
No. No.
You have to go home. Mum!
(Mum)
(Mum)
(I can't. I've got drinks with
Eddie.)
(We're setting up his exhibition.)
Eddie will have to wait, Mum.
You need to be safe.
And you've got to talk to Dad.
There's too much at stake now.
A CAR APPROACHES
So are you going to tell me
what this is all about?
I would've thought Matty's
already done that.
He told me about Albanian gangs
moving in. And Cal!
What about him?
Some girl he got involved with that
he shouldn't.
You know Cal.
He thinks with his dick!
You know Cal.
He thinks with his dick!
Well, he's your son.
And then you lost it.
What d'you mean I "lost it"?
What d'you mean I "lost it"?
You lost it with some Albanian.
OK, if you say so. I lost it.
(SIGHS) You do remember?
Of course I remember.
I think I need a drink.
Do you want one?
I don't drink.
Good for you.
Is there anything you
want to tell me?
Is there anything you
want to tell me?
There's nothing I want to tell you.
BANGING FROM DOWNSTAIRS

FOOTSTEPS
Can I get in?
What?
Please.
Are you pissed?
Are you pissed?
You're my wife.
Get out, Richie.
Are you still fucking the poet,
artist, juggler?
Or have you moved on to someone new?
What's it to you?
I'm jealous.
No, you're not.
You think they're all twats.
I just want a cuddle.
Go to bed.
What are you doing?
I'm not in. I'm just on.
This is cosy.
It's ridiculous.
Mmm. You smell nice.
Well, you smell disgusting.
You're drinking again, aren't you?
After everything
we went through before.
I think there may be some
confusion on the drinking thing.
Matty said you hit some kid.
As well as all this...
I don't know.
There's something going on in
my head.
What?
I don't know.

Richie?
Cal.
Right. I'm there. I'M THERE!
The fucking hotel.
THE FUCKING HOTEL!
Richie. Richie! What's going on?!
OK. Lock the doors!
Don't let anyone in.
All right? You stay here. Take this.
No. I don't want it. I can't do this
again, for fuck's sake!
RICHIE!
