[ Hood Creaking ]
{Man Narrating} I'll try anything once, me,
except bestiality.
And maybe Morris dancing.
Yeah, I'll try and give them a swerve.
Now round here where I live, everyone's heard of Jason Locke.
He'd just done a five stretch for armed robbery. Been outless than 24hours.
Mr. D. had asked me to drive him about for a few days,
so I said, "Yeah, sure. "
[ Chattering ]
{Narrator} We pick up this van, and Jason says...
he wants to look up an old friend who he knew from before.
{ChatterContinues}
You squealin' git ! You fucker !
You want some, huh ? Yeah, you cunt !
Please, nomore !
Fucking grass ! Come here !
Leave him alone !
You fucking grass !
- This is whatyou get. - [ Screams ]
Fuckin' grass !
Get in there !
{Man Screaming}
{Screaming} Oh, my face!
Shit.
My face is burning up ! {Screaming}
{Pounding}
{Screaming Continues}
{Pounding}
[ Screaming ]
[ Grunting, Groaning ]
Come on. Let's go home.
{Narrator} And that was that.Job done.
Jason needed a new shirt. The geezer needed a newface.
{Narrator} Next, I take him to his mate's place,
which he's been hearing things about.
Fucking bastards.
Lisa ?
I've seen his house. He's taking the piss.
Nice, isn't it ?
Oh, yeah. How'd he get that sort of dough ?
How'd he stay out of prison ?
{Bottle Cap Hits Floor}
- You want egg with this ? - No. Yeah, go on.
- Would you like anything ? - No, I'm all right. Ta.
He had a Porsche and a Bentley, the bastard.
What, a Porsche now ? That must be new.
- What about Wayne ? - Oh, he's got a five-series BMW...
and a nice little three-bedroom house in Billericay.
[ Mumbling ]
It was a fucking mansion-- great big drive, electric gates,
fucking statues oflions on the gateposts.
- Youcouldhave toldme. - What, spoil the surprise ?
{Narrator} Anyway, so look, I'm thinking, "It's been a really interesting morning.
Thanks very much. If it'sall the same toyou--"
-And then he says, - Gonna need you some more, Billy.
- All right ? Later on. -And I say...
- Yeah, sure. -And that's it. I've got the job.
Your girlfriend won't mind, will she, Billy ?
You have got a girlfriend, haven'tyou ?
Yeah, I got a girlfriend. She won't mind.
Liar.
{Man} One-nine. Yes, that's right.
Mrs. Knight for Brentwood.
{Man On Radio} Yeah, one-nine. Yeah, on my way.
- The geezer grassed him up. What else could he do ? - Oh, yeah ?
I ain't sayin' he should have gone that far, but you know how it is.
Oh, he just sounds like an animal to me.
They should put him back inside, do us all a favor.
He's just done a five-year stretch 'cause of this mug.
- I'd have done exactly the same thing. - That's you, is it, Billy ?
You could do that to someone ?
In principle.
[ Chuckles ]
Billy, don't get involved with this bloke.
{Billy Narrating} See him, Peter, oh, he's the topboy. He runs the show.
Him, Wayne, does whatever Petertellshim.
AndJason-- Well, every firm needs a mad acidbath murderer, don't they ?
What do you think of my hair, Billy ?
- You look like a fuckin' poof. - Fuck off !
[ Laughs ] What ?
{Jason} Fuck off, will ya ?
It's all right, isn't it ?
It looks really, really fucking stupid.
Can't you go any faster, Billy ? I'm racing in the back here.
I thought you were supposed to be Billy fuckin' Whizz.
[ All Laughing ]
It's all come from the doors. Yourun the doors, and you control what get inside.
Clubs don't give a shit. Just don't want any aggro.
Most weeks now, we're... turning over 20 grand.
- Yeah ? - Mm.
- [ Snorts ] - Fucking hell.
We, uh, do a bit ofweed in the week maybe,
but pills is where the money's really at.
I keep away from them when they're on them.
Fucking eyes all go wonky, don't they ? He's done 'em, soppy nuts.
I won't touch 'em meself.
They're not for you,Jase. They make you wanna love everyone.
I love you !
{Bottle Breaks}
[ Coughing ]
Pull in here, BillyWhizz.
**{Techno}
{Jason} What's happened to the Honeycomb ?
Halfa million on a refit, and it's now called Blondz.
- Packed every night of the week. - Is it still ours ?
No. They gave it to that prick, Perry Elley.
Perry fucking Elley ?
Yeah. It's him and us now,Jase.
That fucking wanker.
He was knocking out dodgy Sierras.
Yeah, well, he's moved in on the doors now, like us,
'cause that's where the money is.
Every door he gets is one we could be making money from. You know what I'm saying,Jase ?
Billy.
I want you to pull up outside in exactly five minutes, yeah ?
- Sure. - Don't fuck about.
You make sure you're right outside.
** [ Car Radio: Techno ]

[ Phone Beeps ]
You all right, Nic ?
All right, listen, darling, I don't think I'm gonna be back till about midnight.
Yeah. No, it's nothing like that.
No, I'm just waiting for 'em outside Blondz in Southend.
You know, the one with the glass.
-{WomanScreaming} - Nic, I gotta go.
{Man} Bloodyhell, they've thrown him from the bloody window.
Leave him !
Fuckin' leave him !
[ Screaming ]
- Go forward ! - [ Screaming ]
Go forward and run the bastard over ! We ain't got time to fuck up about.
[ Screaming ]
{Sirens Wailing}
Careful, BillyWhizz.
-{TiresSquealing} - [ Siren Wailing ]
-{TiresSquealing} - Fucking amateur !
Shit !
{Billy} Oh, God!
- Get down. - [ Siren Wailing ]
You are fucking BillyWhizz.
Yeah. Let's move.
Well done, BillyWhizz. You did all right.
Yeah, nice one, Billy.
What do you think ofthe barnet, Billy ?
- It's all right, isn't it ? - Yeah, it looks all right.
See, I told you.
And this boy knows what he's talking about.
Mm, pair of fucking poofs.
{Jason Laughing}
[ Softly] Nicole. Nicole.
Oi, look. Ta-da.
Ta-da ! [ Chuckles ]
You said you was going to be back at 1 2:00, Billy.
I know. I'm sorry.
I've had a right result, though. Look at that, 500 quid.
That's for one night's work.
- Where areyou going ? - Ineeda wee.
So, what happened ?
Well, it just seemed to go on, and I couldn't get away.
If I'd known you was going to be out all night, I wouldn't have bothered coming around.
- I'm sorry. - I've got to pick up Candice in a couple of hours.
Yeah, but that's 500 quid. It's not bad, is it ?
That's just for driving them about. And I tell you what, they're well pleased withme.
All of a sudden, I have just become Billy Whizz.
It's like Billy Whizz this and Billy Whizz that.
- Better than cabbing, isn't it ? - Do you mind ?
Sorry.
-{ToiletFlushes} - They'll want me again tomorrow.
Thank you very much.
Come on, get into bed.
Warm me up. Make yourself useful.
{Billy Narrating} The following night, I'm out with them again.
Pete Chase runs the security at Dantes,
which means I don't have to queue up with all the other mugs,
- which is nice. - [ Murmuring ]
Billy Whizz, come on, son. You're with the A-team now.
[ Murmuring Continues ]
**{Techno}
Who's he, Billy ?
Oh, my God, that's Jason Locke, isn't it ?
He's just come out.
Did she ?
It's a simple question, and I want an answer.
[ Exhales ] Why'd you have to ask me ?
It's insulting.
No is the answer. Absolutely not. No.
Did you see her spending time with anyone ?
Come on,Jase. I just told you.
That I know of, she didn't mess around.
What do you mean, "that you know of" ?
Hey, Billy Whizz, come over here.
Stay there.
How you doing, Billy ?
- Not too bad, Mr. Chase. - Call me, Peter.
- All right ? - Are you Jason ?
Yeah.
What you gonna do when you've finished with Jason, go back to cabbing ?
Er, yeah. I mean, I thought I might do the knowledge.
- You know what I mean, do it properly. - That's a hard game, that.
All them fuckin' tests. Sloggin' about on mopeds. Good luck to you, boy.
Well, you've gotta do something, ain't ya ?
I don't like to see anybody work when they don't have to.
And you're a bright bloke, Billy.
We've been very impressed with you. Very impressed.
We'd like to make you an offer.
How about when you finish driving Jason around, you don't go back to cabbing ?
How about you stay driving for us ?
- What, you mean-- - I mean, you work full-time for us.
What's the matter, Billy ?
You saw a few things last night, Billy, but, er, well--
in my book-- makes you one of the boys.
Yeah, but you know I'd never say nothing about last night, don't ya ?
Oh, yeah. I know that, Billy. I know I can trust you.
It was either that, Billy, or we stick a knife in ya.
Bing. [ Laughs ]
Did you speak to Peter about the business ?
Pete's me mate.
Yeah.
You tell him you want to be his partner, not his mate.
He'll sort me out, all right.
Look. I know how they work. I've been watching them.
There's too many people in the chain.
What fucking chain ? What are you on about ?
-Jason ! - [ Chuckles ]
Anyway...
he's given me some spending money.
It's in me pocket.
It's five grand.
A thousand a year-- that's all you're worth to him.
That's just for starters.
Anyway, what was I supposed to do, grass them up like Chippy ?
Oh, no, he knew you wouldn't do that. You were a sure thing.
Yeah ?And what about you ? You're a sure thing.
Yeah, I'm a sure thing.
Yeah ? Well, you waited for me, did ya ?
All that time for five years, did ya ?
Didn't let anyone inside your knickers while I was away ?
What's brought this on ?
Wh-Why didn't you just say no ?
Why did you have to fuck about being clever ?
Why didn't you just say no ?
Because I was at it all the time.
I had so much cock I started a cock factory-- big, fat, small, short.
- Anyone bought me a drink, I fucked them in our bed. - Shut up !
-Just for the price of a drink !
- Shut up ! Shut your fucking mouth ! - [ Screaming ]
Shut up ! Fucking shut up !
[ Crying ]
Why doyou have to ask me ?
Because I'm a jealous fucking bastard, and I don't trust you.
{Sobbing}
I'm sorry.
If I was gonna mess about, I'd have done it a long time ago.
Yeah, I know.
{Sobbing} Jason.
I waited for you because I believe in you.
I don't ever want handouts from them again. We can't go back to how it was before.
[ Softly] You get in that bedroom.
{Billy Narrating} Iget a call from Mr. D.
I mean, strictly speaking, I'm still working for him.
He's asked me to pick up Henry and drive him to this place.
I've never been there before, some farm.
I just thought probably not a good idea to tell Jason and the others...
about where I was going that night.
[ Gate Clangs Shut ]
{Billy Narrating} Old Henry Hobbs never said much.
-And when he did, he still never said much. - [ Man On Phone, Indistinct ]
Switch.
{Billy Narrating} The pilot is Mr. D.
Wow.
Dropped it down sweetas you like, just like he said he could.
This is fucking fantastic.
- Can touch down and be in the air again in less than 30 seconds. - Right.
The other chap is Peter Chase's big rival on the clubscene, the infamous Perry Elley.
You just keep yourself wrapped in cotton wool for a while and we're home and dry.
{Billy Narrating} Mr. D. and Perry had been hatching this one for months.
This was the final dress rehearsal.
Boys, this is gonna work.
{Billy Narrating} So, John Dyke -- Mr. D.--
he was the one who got me into this.
I was doing me cabbing, and I picked him up one day.
We had a little chat and got talking, and he askedf or me again.
Iused to deliver things for him, packages, and drive a few people about.
But I didn't ask any questions. I think he liked that.
{BirdSquawking}
What doyou make ofJason ?
I wouldn'tlike togeton the wrong side ofhim. He'san 18-caratnutter.
- He's keptyou busy. - Yeah.
Actually, um, him and his pals have asked me to do a bit ofdriving about for 'em.
Well, full-time.
How doyou feel about that ?
I don't know.
Thought, ""Why not ?""
I mean, they're all right. They look after me.
- I wouldn'tmindseeing whereit'd takeme. - [ Sighs ]
Icanstill doabitofdriving foryou. That'snotaproblem, isit ?
Well, good luck toyou, Billy.
Doyou think it's a bad idea ?
It's not for me to say.

Straightaway, PeterChaseaskedme to doalittlejob forhim.
Idrive 'em to thisburgerbar, andtheytellme to wait.
-{Sirens Wailing} -{Man} Police, stop !
Armed police !
Sit.
I just lost 200 fucking grand.
{DoorUnlocks, Opens}
How'd it go ?
A total disaster.
Couriersgotarrested. We lost thegear.
Pete lost his money.
Couldn't have gone much better really, could it ?
[ Both Laughing ]
- Oh ! Oh, God ! - Eh ?
- Areyou gonna see him then, babe ? - Yeah.
Oh !
Now he owes you, you know that. Now's the time to call in the debt.
Yeah, I know.
What was her name again, that blond one at the club ?
- Suzy. - Yeah.
She had a beautiful little arse.
You get her number for me, yeah ?
Either her arse oryour arse, BillyWhizz. [ Laughs ]
Welcome back,Jason.
You didn't tell me you were rich,John.
[ Laughs ] I'm not rich.
Everybody's suddenly rich while I'm inside.
It's a nice place,John.
Could easily get a swimming pool in this garden. Yeah.
Nice pool with a cover on it.
Gym upstairs.
I could handle that.
Ileave thegarden to Henry. That'shis domain.
- Cheers. - Cheers,John.
I'm very grateful forwhat you did for me inside,Jason.
[ Chuckles ] That's all right.
I was wondering whether Icouldrepay the favor.
Is there anything I can do foryou ?
Well, ifyou're asking, John, maybe there is.
I've got some friends who need some gear brought into the country.
- Gear ? - Naughty gear,John.
All right, Henry ?
How's it going ?
Been having a lot oftrouble with drainage.
Clay soil round here. Water lies on the surface.
Heavy rain drowns everything off.
Yeah. Gutting when that happens, isn't it ?
All right, come on. Come on.
The truth is I workjust for one person now, then only occasionally.
Workingoutside thatarrangement wouldbe too dangerous.
And, yousee, I--
I simply cannot go to prison again... ever.
Well, you think about it,John.
See ifyou can't getyour head around it.
See, the way I see it,
people with special relationships, like us;
people who've got secrets, like us--
Yeah ? Well, weshouldstick together.
Oh, yes, yes, I agree with you,Jason.
That's why I-I'd be, uh, I'd be happy to help you out financially,
- until you get on your feet. - Mm. No, no.
I don't want your money.
I'm looking to the future now,John.
I wanna go into business with you.
[ Fireworks Whistling ]
{Billy Narrating} Welcome home,Jason.
Thanks for keeping your mouth shut.
One or two of the boys have overdone the sunbed tonight, but we'really here.
Andwe're wondering what'snext.
-{Man} Come on. - [ Chattering ]
[ All Saying Hello ]
{Fireworks Continue Whistling, Exploding}
Look at this ! Look, look at this !
Hello, leader. How areyou doing ?
Oi ! BillyWhizz, drinks. Tell Tommy to get the scotch.
The good stuff, the malt, all right ?
Oi, you little sods. Hey, come on, this is not a toy. Off you get !
Hey, Beverley. Beverley, would you come and look after these sods ?
Jason Locke !
Out from under lock and key at last. Here he is ! Yea !
{Woman} * That's the color of the moon*
*Secret in the rainbow**
{Billy Narrating} Him, with Jason--
that's his old mate, Kiri Christos, the banker.
Well, geezers couldn't very well go to the NatWest, could they ?
So, they went to him.
**{Continues, Indistinct}
[ Chattering ]
You are looking just as beautiful as ever.
- Oh ! - Beautiful !
Oh, and fiery !
Oh, yes, it's that Peter Chase spouting off.
Oh, my God, Kiri !
Can you believe it ? We're in our thirties. I feel so ancient.
IfI looked as good as you, it wouldn't bother me much.
Doyou know how upsetting it is to have hair coming outyour nose and ears ?
That's what they should have told us in biology, not how to cut up--
What were they, locusts ?
[ Laughs ] You always did make me laugh.
**{Continues, Indistinct}
Jason says he wants to go into business.
Yeah, well, isn't it about time he did ?
- Haven't they made enough money offhis back ? - So, he needs a banker.
- But he's got a problem. - What's that ?
- He's got no security. - Okay. How's he get that ?
Well, he needs to put up something against the loan.
Something valuable. Something I want.
I didn't knowJason had anything you wanted.
Well, you haven't been paying much attention all theseyears, haveyou ?
Kiri, um,
would youjust excuse me a minute ?
It wasjust getting interesting.
**{Continues, Indistinct}
- All right ? - Who's that ?
Don't know. I just said hello to her tonight.
- Areyou enjoying yourself? - I said, ""Who is she ?""
Don't know.Just some little bird Billy's knocking off.
Anyway, it went well with Kiri.
Don't shame me,Jason.
- Beverley, all right ? - Mm.
- So, whatyou been up to then, Lisa ? - Oh, you know,
getting beasted byJason.
When they'vebeeninside forsolong, they want to doitup thearse.
Ifthat's whatyourmate'sbeen doing toyouforfiiveyears, it'sboundtohavean effect.
- Anyway, what aboutyou girls ? - Oh, yeah.
I didn't tell you what Pete bought me for Christmas, did I ?
A horse. I've called him Toby.
- Oh, he's mad, isn't he ? - Put him down then.
And the horse.
I'm trying to be nice toyou, Lisa. Oh, you've got a short memory, babe.
Bit too quick to forget who's been helping you whileJason's been inside ?
Two hundred and fifty quid a week ? Helping us out ? Do me a favor.
Well, I didn't expect for one minute thatyou'd be grateful.
Okay, Beverley. I'm so fucking grateful. Will that do ?
Oo-er. Youjust make sureyou enjoy this party tonight, darling,
'cause it's the last thing you're gonna get from us.
Make sureyou keepyour legs pressed tight togetherwhen you ride Toby, makeyou all tingly.
You do remember that feeling, don'tyou ?
- Who's a naughty boy then ? - What ?
That little blond bit. That's why you didn't bring your girlfriend.
Who, her ? No, she's not with me. She'sjust--
Well, she's with anyone, ifyou know what I mean.
Where is she ?

Becauseyou're a fucking nuisance !

I don't even fancy you anymore.
That's a lie !
Get her out of here.
{Lisa Sobbing}
You allright ?
That bastard's done this to me before.
He got the last one pregnant.
Another little blond bit.
He had a little boy with her.
You see...
I can't have kids, Billy. [ Sniffles ]
That was a fucking laugh, weren't it, for everyone else ?
Everyone looking a tme, knowing.
The joke is-- I actually waited for him.
[ Sighs ]
I used to sit behind him in class.
Did you know that ?
I thought he was God's gift.
All the girls fancied him.
But I got him.
I thought I was such a lucky girl.
Mm.
Lisa. Lisa !
Wait, hold on. I don't think we should, all right.
It's not that I don't want to.
Thanks, Billy.
Thanks for not taking advantage of me when I'm like this.
Most of the other guys would have jumped on me.
You're different.
Thanks.
[ Softly] Um, it's just, um, you know--
Billy. Billy, I'm taking the piss out ofyou.
Look at you. You're no good to me.
You're just a fucking pussy like all the rest of them.
Bring my bag.
Tell Billy the groceries are ready.
I want this over as quickly as possible.
- All right ? It's all in there. - Yeah.
[ Laughs ]
You fucking beauty.
Thereyou go.
Thanks.
See you later.
Have fun.
Spotty Dogs.
Seen them, Billy ?
No.
Hereyou are.
Try one.
Cheers, Wayne.
{Billy Narrating} Now,Jason is very anti-drugs.
That is anti anyone else's drugs.
It's a nod and a wink and in goes his man with a bag of SpottyDogs.
Thank you very much.
See you later.
- Oi ! - All right ?
- How's it going ? - Sweet.
This is a piece of piss.
What are we looking at when we knock this lot out ?
I don't know, 200, maybe 250 profit.
Quarter of a million ? Fuckin' hell !
You've done well, Jase. You've come through for us,just when we needed it.
You know what this is ? It's a contract...
to provide security for Blondz nightclub in Southend.
Sorted it out with the owners. Got fed up with the other lot. Too much aggravation.
People flying through windows. Perry Elley's out, we're in.
Partners ?
Partners.
I fuckin' love it here. Don'tyou ?
I tell you, I'm never going back inside again, I tell you that.
[ Chuckles ] Where do you live, Billy ?
I'm in Canvey Island.
Yeah ?
- [ Chattering ] -{Jason} There she is! Hey!
Bring the motor. Hey !
Hey.
Jason, I didn't mean to cause any trouble the other night.
- I'm really sorry. - That's all right.
Get in the motor. Let's have a laugh.
- I didn't know you were married. - I'm divorced.
Do you wanna marry me ? Do you wanna get married ?
Billy. Billy, you can be the witness.
- I don't wanna cause any trouble. - Well, I do. Come on.
Drive, BillyWhizz.
Give me a couple of them Spotty Dogs, will you, Billy ?
{Jason Breathing Heavily}
Okay. Let's see what this shit's like.
No,Jason, please. Please, will you just take me home ?
No chance.
- That's it. - [ Coughs ]
[ Grunting ]
You and me, BillyWhizz.
We'll run that fuckin' gaff, eh ?
Nice one.
You got some booze, BillyWhizz ?
There's loads up there,Jase.
Which way's the bedroom ?
This one ?
Jason, can't we just have a drink first ?
- Come on. - Ow !
Bring some in later.
Billy ! Billy ! Get him off me !
Don't be silly.
