ls someone gonna tell me
what the fuck happened?

Listen, yeah, Lee was a snitch.

He was telling Kamale
where the food was,

Kamale's coming in, taking the food,

going back to Lee
and weighing him off.

So you shoot him?

Hey, what are you not
gettin' here, bruv?

Lee was selling us out -
me, Dushane and you.

And that's why he's dead.

It was for me to make
that fucking decision.

Yeah, but Lee was your boy.
Shut up. Shut your mouth!



I need time to think about this.

Why the fuck you always gotta
provoke the situation?

What's wrong with you?
Bruv, he's shook now.

That's the man that
supplies our food!

Why ain't the scrubber in here?

I keep it in the other cupboard,
it's easier to get at.

If you keep moving things,
I won't know where anything is.

I gotta go. What?

Where you goin'?

Gem's house, do a bit
of homework, innit'?

Can't you do it here?
All the books are at his house.

Watch TV, I'll be back
in a bit, innit'?

Let's go, cuz.

'Bye, Lisa. Take care, Gem.



What the fuck you looking at?
Fucking jakes.

Gem. Over here, bruv.

Bruv, you don't
need to go there.

Come here, man.
It's cool, man. Come.

What you sayin"? You alright, yeah?

You want a draw'?

Look, man, it weren't none of us
that killed your dog.

Weren't me, swear dat.

That dog was a good dog, though.

What was his name again?
Marnie.

Marnie?

You alright, Gem?

Look, bruv, I'm sorry, yeah?

How much does one of them dogs
cost anyway'?

There, fam. Get a new dog, innit'?

That ain't even
enough for a new dog.

Who asked you, bruv?

They're lying. I know it was them
that killed Marnie.

I know, but you've got to
try and let it go, man.

I'll talk to you later, man.
Gotta go.

Where you goin'?
Got somewhere to be.

Ra' Nell

You alright? Yeah.

Where you goin'?
Precious, innit'?

Yeah? Well, she seems like
a nice girl.

Alright, listen,
I'll catch you later.

Leon?

Was you scared? When?

When Sully pulled a gun on you.

Yeah, I was scared.

Someone pulls a gun on you,
you're gonna be scared, alright?

Ain't nothing wrong with that.

Thanks for your help.

That's cool.

Look, I gotta go. See ya later.

There ya go, babe. Cheers.

It's good to see you, you know.
Yeah, you too.

I just bumped into Ra'Nell
on his way to go and see Precious.

Precious?

He told me he was goin'
round Gem's to do homework.

That boy!

He's at that age, I'n't he?

He's just growing up so fast.
Yeah.

Too fast.

Ra'Nell's a good kid.

Yeah, I know.

Hey. Vincent.

You got bigger?

Ooh. Buddy, buddy, buddy.
All in my face.

Hey. OK'?

Go and mix some up some food, babes,
then you can go home, yeah?

Why you have
black boy here?

They talk too much.
It's alright, he don't talk.

What do you think?

Yeah, you got maybe, er,
five, five and a half kilo here.

OK. I need 4,000 a key.

4,000?! No.

Four too much. No-one pay four.
I pay you three.

No, Vincent, for this quality...

Alright, listen to me.
3,000 is the price.

4,000 is a good price for all this.

You want more money, honey,
you grow more crop.

No, I don't wanna grow another crop!

I don't like it,
I don't wanna do it anymore.

It's a fair price.

Take it or leave it.

Alright?

What the fuck
you doin' here, cuz?

I've got something
for Dushane, innit'?

Come through.

I got something for you.

Wha gwan, my yout? Wha gwan.

I heard your mum's home an' that.
Yeah, she's better.

That's good, fam.

What ya sayin?
I got something for you.

You said, man. What you got?

Weed.

Bro, you got it the wrong way round.
We don't buy. We sell, fam.

But it's five key. Maybe even
five and a half. It's top quality.

Top quality? Where'd you get
five keys of weed from?

I just got it, innit'?

What you sayin',
it's yours to sell, yeah?

For the right price.
For the right price?

So what you sayin"?
What's the right price?

20.

Four G a key? It's worth it.

What you sayin', is it ready?
The cutter's coming this afternoon.

It can be ready by tomorrow
if you have the money.

Hold on, you gonna bring man
a picture first, yeah?

Sample, fam. A'ight.

Bring it back here for 9:30, yeah?
A'ight, cool.

Exit, fam.

Looks like little Ra'Nell's
got himself a farm, yeah.

He's one fucking smart yout,
bruv, I'm tellin' you.

He ain't that smart, blud,
or he wouldn't have said nuttin'.

'Cause he ain't gonna have
that farm for long.

Why pay 20 bags for somethin'
that I could take for free'?

That thing is gone, cuz.

It was a personality clash, Joe.
It's sorted now.

Personality clash?

Lee was shot fuckin' dead.
That's how it got sorted.

From where I'm sittin',
it doesn't look sorted.

Looks like a big fuckin' mess.

Lee wasn't being straight with me.
It had to happen.

This kid Dushane,
he's a good soldier. He's hungry.

He's a lot smarter than Lee was,
and he's gonna make us a lot of money.

Pat's very pissed off, Bobby.

You see, he doesn't like noise
and you're becoming a noisy fucker.

So we're gonna stop dealin' with ya

while you're getting all this attention
from the police.

This'll blow over.

Listen, you flash Cockney prick,

you sort it out, then we'll talk.

Otherwise, you can go
and deal with the fucking Turks.

Yo, yo, what's that'?
Bruv, you strapped?

Chill out, man.
What the fuck you mean, chill out?

You fuckin' mad? Mad?

If Ninja comes to stab me,
I'm shootin' him fuckin' dead.

That better not be the strap
you popped Lee with.

You know what's gonna happen
if you get caught with that gun?

Life. That's 30 years, minimum.

I ain't gonna get caught, am I'?

Wha gwan'? Wha gwan.

Dris, what you sayin"?
Dead out here, bruv.

From mornin'
man can't burst no shots.

Can't make no money out here, bruv.

Pissed off, man.

Yeah? You and me need to talk.

Come down the snooker hall at 7:00.
Alright.

Just you.

Who was that'? Raikes.

Wants to meet.

Fuck it.

He just wants to meet me, though.

What do ya mean,
he only wants to meet you?

That's what he said, innit'?

What do you mean?
Bruv, I don't know.

We're meant to be fucking doing
this shit together, Shane.

Why didn't you tell him that'?

I'll tell him when I see him.

You look ready to pop, girl.
Can you believe it?

Aw...

I'm sorry I didn't come
and visit you in hospital.

It's fine.

I wouldn't have come to see me either,
the way I was.

It's not fine, though, is it?

I haven't seen you for a year.

Can't let it happen again.

It was Wayne, though, innit'?

I couldn't have any friends.

Can't believe I let him put me through
that, you know.

He's gone now.

I don't know why, but I never thought
you'd have children.

Neither did I.

Look, you won't regret it.

Having Ra'Nell's the best thing that's
ever happened to me.

Ra'Nell's a lovely kid, Lisa.
You've done a good job there.

Yeah, but the job ain't
finished yet, is it?

Just getting into the difficult bit.

There's a lot of temptation around.

You've seen all them dealers
on the estate.

Shall we grab a coffee? Yeah.

Yeah? Why not?

Come on, then.

Babe, are you alright?
I don't know.

I'm actually in a lot of pain.

You want me to call somebody?
No, it's OK.

Are you sure? What was that'?
Yeah, I'm fine. Come on.

Heather, let me get you
to the hospital.

Go on, what's up?

Just wondered if you'd been
makin' any money'?

There's feds all over
the place right now.

Exactly. And whose fault is that'?

You and Sully have been making
a lot of noise out there.

It's bad for business.
Everyone's suffering.

So you got any ideas how we might
get outta this recession?

Sit tight and ride it out, innit'?

Now, that's not gonna happen, son.

You see, the Old Bill need to be
seen to be solvin' the occasional crime.

You need to feed the beast, Dushane.
Give them someone.

No way.

You wanted a good life.

Yeah, and what's that
got to do with this?

Well, I've been in this game
over 20 years.

The rate you're going,
you ain't got much longer.

And Sully, he's the one
that's standing in your way

and stopping you
from having a good life.

He's hanging on your coat-tails, son,
and he's an 'eavy weight.

Listen to me, I ain't giving him up.

Yeah, well, your friend
is gonna drag you down.

Think about it.

I already have thought about it.

Well, think about it some more?

You the cutter?

Yeah.

Where's the woman? She sent me.

Hello, Mum.

Ra'Nell, listen Fm with Heathen.

Why, what's happened?

She's in the hospital.
She's having her baby.

OK.

Look, I won't be home for a bit.
Will you be alright?

Yeah. OK.

Where are you?
I'm doin' my homework, innit'?

Are you sure? Yes.

Good boy.

I'll call you later, yeah?
Alright, 'bye.

Alright, babe. Love you. 'Bye.

Can I have a picture? What?

A sample.

Alright, safe.

Yo. I've got the picture.

Come, man.

Sit down there, bruv.

It's got to be worth 20, innit'?

You want a drink?

You know what?
You're a smart yout, you know.

I don't know why you ain't
rollin' with my team.

'Cause I'm smart.

Go on, fam.

I'll give you a bell, yeah?
Alright, cool.

Same again.

What you sayin"?

What? Hear what I'm sayin' now.

My man brought the weed, innit'?
He came through? Fuck off!

Yeah, and it's good, it's good
Proper tings, bruv.

Proper tings?
Yeah, get about five key of that.

What, for nothing, yeah?
Nah, not for nothing.

Bruv, listen, I'm tellin' you,
I like the yout. I think he's cool.

I want him to run with man,
you get me?

Alright.
No-one don't touch him.

You wanna pay him, innit'?
Yeah!

Fuck it, we do it your way,
we do it your way. Serious!

Yo!

What, bruv?
See that little Ra'Nell?

I want you to follow him, yeah,
find out where the farm is, yeah?

No problem, fam. Fuck all that shit.
Back that.

Oi, Ra'Nell! Come here.

The weed's good.

Bring it to me tonight, yeah?
We'll have the money for you.

20'? Yeah, 20.

Alright, cool.

Oi, oi!

It's cool this time and that, yeah.

But if you wanna be doin'
business in Summerhouse,

you can't be independent.

I told you I ain't
joinin' your gang.

So, what, you think I'm gonna sit back
and let you become the competition?

That can't happen either.

What was that all about?
Don't worry, man.

Jordan... this is Ra'Nell.

Wha gwan, Jordan?

He's small, innit'?
Bit premature.

Couldn't wait to come out.

Did the cutter come?
Yeah.

It's all bagged up. Just over five key.

Talk about bad timing.

Listen, Ra'Nell,

this is the last time I'm gonna
ask you to do this, I swear.

I'll call Vincent.

Can you meet him at the flat?
He'll bring the money.

What?

There's this older on the estate.
He said he'd pay 20.

Who'?

Dushane.

My God.

You don't know what you've done!

But then you'll get the flat.
No. No, Ra'Nell.

You don't understand.

Wait, where you goin'?

Where do you think? To go and get it
before your mate Dushane does.

But he won't do nothin',
he don't know where it is.

Shut up.

You just stay there.
And you stay away from it, alright?

I'll sort it out. Ra'Nell.

Ra'Nell!

Fuck.

Gem?

Gem.

I told him about this place.

I didn't know he would do
something so fuckery like that.

I swear.

I'm sorry.

Gem, I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Yo. Yeah, it's me.

He's just gone in, still.

Alexander Point.

Alright, cool.

Hello. Here's some flowers.

What's the matter, darling?

What's up?

It's not Jordan, is it?
No.

What is it?

You're gonna be very angry
with me, Lisa.

What are you talking about?

I've done something very wrong,
and I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Sorry for what?

I've got this farm.

What farm?

A farm. To grow cannabis.

God, Lisa. What?

I couldn't manage it
on my own, the farm.

So I asked Ra'Nell to help.

I'm sorry. It was wrong.
I'm... I'm sorry.

I didn't understand
what I was doing.

You got my boy involved?

In drugs?

Like he's your ticket out of here?

You bitch!

You're supposed to be my friend!

No, listen.
He was just here, he was just here.

He's gonna go and tell
some gangster about the farm.

Where is it? No, you can't go.

He's my boy! Of course I'm gonna go!
Where is it?

Alexander Point. 411.

Hey. Leon, thank God.

Look, can you meet me?

What's happened'? It's Ra'Nell.

He got involved in some big drugs
thing with them boys on the estate.

He's in trouble.

OK. Where is he?
411 Alexander Point.

I'll meet you there, yeah?

No, you go home, Lisa.
No! I can't go home.

I'll come with you.
No. Go home in case he comes back.

I'll take care of it.
OK.

Ra'Nell!
You better pick up this phone.

As soon as you get this message,
you call me, yeah?

Where he at?

10th floor.

Ra'Nell?

Ra'Nell'?

Ra'Nell'?

Oh, my God.

Ra'Nell, when you get
this message, you call me.

You hear me? Call me.

Hey, don't let that go back up.

Where you goin', bruv?

Meet Dushane for
a little business exchange.

Look at me, blud.

Is that my weed?

Don't fucking piss me off.
Give me the bag.

I can't do that.
What do you mean, can't do that'?

Listen, when I talk,
you fucking listen.

Don't try and act fucking rough.
I'm not tryin' to act rough.

You're a little fuckin' kid.
Shut up when I'm talking.

- Do what I fucking tell you to do.
- Come on, man.

I'm gonna take it to Dushane.
Come on.

Give me the fucking bag, man.
Pass it.

What's wrong with
these fucking kids, man?

What the fuck you doing?
What the fuck do you want now'?

What the fuck I say to you?

- Get the fuck off me.
- Get off me, you little prick.

- What you want, you fucker'?
- Get off me!

Don't touch him,
leave him alone, get off him.

You fucking pussy.
What did I tell you last time?

- Get the fuck off him, bruv.
- You're nothing.

Get off me!

Yo, yo, get the fucking bag.

Leon.

Leon.

Leon.

Leon.

Somebody get an ambulance!

Leon.

Leon. Ambulance will be here soon, yo,
stay awake.

Leon, you're gonna be alright.
I'm gonna take you to hospital, yeah.

Somebody call an ambulance!

Somebody get a fucking ambulance!

Tasha, wanna go play with Mummy?

Come on, go on.

Come on.

You know you fucked up, innit'?

Fam, what happened?
Leon showed up, innit'?

Yeah, I know Leon showed up.
Why is he dead?

Listen, I didn't mean
for this to happen, you know.

What, like Shaun'?
Fuck you for that.

Fuck me? Bruv, you just shot in broad
daylight on the fucking estate.

You know what I'm sayin'.
I didn't mean for it to happen.

I didn't fucking know he was coming.
He showed up, we got into it.

Fuck it, I don't even remember pullin'
the trigger, bro.

It just happened.

Sully, this is fucking bad.
A'ight!

Just don't go on about it, just...
Please!

What do you care for, anyway'?

Gimme the piece.

Give me the strap, fam. There's
two murders linked to that now.

Think about that.

I'm gonna go and get rid of it.

When I come back,
you and me need to talk.

We just had a talk.

Listen, just be here
when I come back.

How long you gonna be'?

Yeah. It's me.

Look, remember that thing
we was talkin' about, yeah?

You were right.

The weight is dragging me down now.

You're making
the right decision.

Yeah.

Look, I got the gun he done
Lee Greene with as well.

Even better.
I'll take care of it for you.

I'll let you know where to meet.

Did you recognise them?

They were two boys.
I didn't recognise no faces.

Do you remember
what they were wearing?

Can you remember anything at all?

You've made the right decision, son.

You and me are gonna make
a lot of money for each other.

You just have to trust me.

Did you bring the thing?
Yeah, I got it.

Give it to me.
I'll take care of everything.

You get rid of it, yeah?

Look on the bright side, man. At least
we got five keys of weed for free.

Fuck the weed! You're gonna
fucking start behaving yourself.

What the fuck are you doing, bruv?

Raikes is dead.

Yeah. He's dead.

I did it. Just now.

Why?

Why? 'Cause he fucking
wanted you dead, fam.

He wanted me to set you up
'cause you're a fucking liability.

And you know what?
I had the same idea.

But you're my boy,
and I ain't gonna do you none

no matter how fucking stupid you are.

Shane, man.

Dushane, man!

Listen, bruv, from now on, yeah,

things are gonna run
differently round here.

Understand?

Babe, I'm gonna
run you a bath, alright?

Ra'Nell, your bath's...

Ra'Nell'?

Ra'Nell'?

Ra'Nell!

What?! Fuck you.

What the fuck are you doing?
Fuck you!

What the fuck?!
I'm gonna fuck you up.

Hey, dickhead!
You wanna kill me, yeah?

Yeah, fuck you! You're the reason
why Leon's dead, you prick!

That was nothing to do with me, bruv.
Shut up, you fucking liar!

I had nothing to do with that shit.
Yes, you did. Stop lying!

You're a liar!

Fuck you, what are you talking about?

Fuck you. I've been backing you
all the way, bruv!

All the fucking way! Ra'Nell!

Ra'Nell!
I was fucking backing you!

Get off him!

Ra'Nell, give me the knife.

Give me the knife, Ra'Nell.

Please... let go
of the knife, Ra'Nell.

Don't you ever go near my son again.

You don't talk to him,
you don't look at him,

you don't go anywhere
fucking near him.

Do you understand?

Do you understand?!

Yeah.

Come on.

This the first time
you've bunked school?

Yeah.

Bet you're gonna bunk
all the time now.

Hold up!

What?

Dushane said to give you this.

Hope you get your flat.

Feels like Bobby Raikes was giftwrapped
for the police.

Convenient, don't you think?

I think Raikes was a dinosaur

who brought too much heat on himself
and everyone around him.

Now, you wanna do business or not?

How much do you need? Ten key.

Let's start with five.

When? Wednesday.

You picking up? He will.

He'll have the money'?
He'll have it.

Then it's done.

You want me to help set up,
I help.

What's it gonna cost'?
Material, equipment, 10,000.

You have 10,000'?
No, we ain't got 10,000.

OK. I tell you what I do.

I do everything for free,
I take the first crop.

What, just the first crop?
First crop only.

Rest is yours.

Deal? Yeah.

Deal!

Yeah! OK'?

Boom!

Easy money!

Easy money.
