And I think of a room with hundreds of doors.
Hundreds of doors, and they're closing.
The one's furthest away first,
and then getting closer,
just closing, just banging shut.
And I think,
if I can keep from crying until the last one shuts...
then I won't cry at all.
And I don't.
[TV chatter]
You want some beers?
Yeah.
I took a 20 from your pocket, you mind?
Blew it on the show.
Save a couple for me, will you?
Where you going?
See one of my kids.
Who is it?
None of your business.
Somebody trying to get back into the swing of things.
What did he do?
It's none of your business, either.
It's what he's doing now that's important, yeah?
His present.
His past is moot.
Mm-hmm.
He just doesn't go out.
He doesn't seem to have any friends.
He's making no attempt to get a job.
And...
I'm just a bit worried he's depressed, you know?
But then I look at you, who's doing so well.
[chuckling] Come on, Terry.
No, come on, you.
You're out there saving lives, working, got yourself a girlfriend.
How's that going?
It's going good.
Had sex yet?
No, I'm sorry. I apologize.
Yes, we have.
Good.
C-Can l... Can I say something about that, though?
Of course.
It's just... It's just starting to feel a little bit, um...
dishonest, you know?
Jesus, you really do like her, don't you?
Listen, Jack.
The distance that you have traveled since I first met you
is nothing short of astonishing.
It's an achievement.
I mean, you've overcome obstacles
that many if not most people would have fallen...
Why Philip?
[sigh]
Why don't you say what you want to say?
Say it.
He didn't kill himself.
Who killed him?
Hmm?
I tell you, this suspicion of yours is...
Promise me.
- What, that it was suicide? - Yeah.
I promise. I promise you.
Philip had to come to terms with what he did.
Now, he took his own life because he was never able to do that.
You did.
You grew. You changed.
You earned the right...
You earned the right to be Jack Burridge.
Because that's what this is, it's a fucking right.
And Jack Burridge has not lied to that girl
because Jack Burridge has done nothing to lie about.
Do you understand me, Jack?
Do you understand me, son?
[TV chatter]
[sigh]
There's somebody here wants to see you, mate.
- Who? - Don't know.
Uh, by the loading bay with Dave and Chris.
All right.
Hey, Jack. Get over here, will ya?
- This is Felix. - Hi.
From the evening news.
Wants to do a little piece, am I right?
- On us? - Our daring rescue.
Actually I'm only here to take the photo.
Listen, I'm not really sure...
What?
Well, that I want my photo taken, all right?
Why?
Jesus, Jack, it's just a photo.
Where do you want him, Felix?
Beside the van will be good, yeah?
Get the old logo in. Whatnot.
[Felix] If you like.
What about the hats, Dave?
What?
Get them in, too.
That's a good idea.
Carol, have we got any hats in there?
What kind?
- What do you mean "what kind"? - Our hats.
DV?
Well, that's the name of the company, isn't it?
I'll have a look.
Uh, a little to the left.
- To the left! - They're fine.
Fine. They're fine where they are.
Okay, then.
Got it.
That's all right, isn't it? Yeah.
Can you cut that down a bit?
Just the sides.
Just don't want my old mates to know where I am.
Your mates from back home?
- Yeah. - Jack, it's the evening news.
- So? - The Manchester evening news.
All right.
God, you're paranoid. You know that?
So listen, Steve's asked if you want to go for a game of pool tonight.
- You up for it? - Oh, sorry, mate.
- I'm seeing Michelle. - All right.
How's it going with the White Whale anyway?
- Ah, good. - And?
Prefer if you didn't call her that anymore though.
Ah, Jackie Boy, you've got it bad.
I just don't see why everyone has to have a name.
- Like Bruiser? - Yeah.
Just the way the world works, mate.
- We've all got to have one. - Yeah, well...
But if Michelle's your preference, then...
Michelle it shall be.
Just don't forget my invite to the wedding.
- Hey, hero. - [groans]
Look what I got.
Yeah. It's horrible. It's horrible.
What are you doing?
Why'd you lower your cap like that?
Didn't realize I had.
I love it.
"Disregard for..." No wait.
"Quick thinking and selfless disregard for their own safety." La, la, la.
"Heroic actions."
You know how proud of you I am?
No.
Very proud.
Oh. I've got something for you.
Oh, yeah?
Happy Birthday.
It ain't me...
Yeah, I know.
It's for the ones we missed.
Oh, my...
Could we have the bill, please?
[sighs]
Michelle...
I don't know what to say.
You like it, then?
[laughs]
Yeah, I love it.
And that's only the first half.
Well, what's the second?
[laughter]
All right, all right.
- How about that? - Very good.
It's very good.
Nah, let's get serious about this.
Give me a pout.
A pout? All right.
A fucking Page 3 pout.
What? [laughs]
You're fucking nuts.
Carry on, keep going, keep going, keep going.
Yeah.
Oh, sultry.
Very nice. [laughs]
I don't even know what that word means.
But I know I like it.
- That's it? - Yeah, I think so.
Show me.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's it.
And just when I was about to start my porn routine.
[laughs]
[moaning]
Where are we going?
What?
Is this the way?
This is our way, right?
We've done it loads of times, Jack.
And this way we're going to save, like, an hour.
That's right.
We're just taking a short cut.
We're not doing anyone any harm.
Done this before?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Like loads of times.
Fuck it. Come on, then.
- Oh, shit. - What?
That wasn't there the last time.
Come on, Jack.
Jack, come on.
[screaming]
Don't like it!
Oh-ho-ho-ho!
What's next?
Do you want to grab some food? I'm starving.
Jesus Christ, look at Bruiser.
Man, you are fucking green!
[laughter]
Man, you are.
You're fucking green!
Don't fucking touch me.
The Bruiser! [laughs]
[people screaming]
Jack, Kelly must know by now.
Nah, she don't, she don't.
She gets in ready for work,
- so she wouldn't know. - Right.
Although maybe she does, I don't know.
That's three times this week. You know that?
What?
You've stayed over.
Oh.
You got a problem with that?
Not at all.
I'm just, you know...
Right. You're informing me.
Bringing the... yeah.
What?
The fact to your attention.
Enlighten you to it.
Well, I appreciate it.
What is it?
A rubber johnnie.
What's it for?
Are you stupid?
Shagging women.
If you don't wear one, you get a sore on your dick.
Want to see it?
- Eww. - Exactly.
Try and find something to dig with.
What about this one?
Perfect.
Cut the little bits off with this.
They like the darkness under the bridge, you see.
Like trolls?
No. Where are the trolls, mate?
Fuck.
- You see it? - Yeah.
You see the size of it?
Shit. Grab it.
- What? - Grab it!
Jesus.
Bollocks.
Wow.
Yeah.
Why isn't it dead?
It's not far from it now.
[soft laughter]
Look at that one.
Oh, wow.
You want it?
Take it.
You might be alone sometime and need it.
You know what I mean?
[laughs]
So I take it you're staying over tonight?
Huh?
Yeah.
I would have thought... what's this?
No, that's cool.
There's you.
So cute.
What's up, Jack?
Have you... Have you slept with many blokes?
I don't know.
A few.
I mean, I've never slept around.
All right.
What about you?
Nah, I ain't slept with many girls.
And your past?
- That is my past. - No.
I mean your past... the cars,
your time in prison.
What about it?
It's really over, right?
Of course it is.
Why? Why do you...
No, I just...
Because I want you to say.
- Say what? - Forget it.
I think I'm in love with you, Michelle.
Yeah?
[whispers] Yeah.
I think I'm in love with you.
What was, what was you going to say, then?
That's it.
- Wha... - It's all right.
You beat me to it, you asshole.
Oh, shit! I can't.
I can't fucking stay.
Oh, fuck.
Kelly lost her house key. I've got to... I've got to let her in in the morning.
- Oh, no. - Shit.
I'll call you a taxi.
No, no, no. Don't worry about it.
There's always plenty up on the main street.
I tell you what.
What?
I never thought...
in my life...
Shit.
That I would ever say those words.
Or have 'em said to me.
- Yeah. - Do you know, do you know?
Now I have someone.
A girl who makes me...
Sometime...
when I ain't seen ya and then I see ya...
I find it hard to breathe.
This is getting serious, isn't it?
Are you fucking mad?
No, no, no. You can never do this.
You understand what I'm saying?
You can never ever do this. Never!
- Never? - Never, never.
She would understand. I know it.
Listen, listen.
Her understanding's not the issue, okay?
Knowledge is the issue.
Your safety is the issue.
Okay? Do you, do you know...
Fuck it.
There's been a bounty posted for you on the internet.
A what?
For information regarding your whereabouts.
Now listen, I wasn't going to tell you.
Am I in danger?
No, no, no, no. But do you now realize
there are people out there who want you? They hate you.
They will never let go of what happened. Ever, ever!
How much is it for?
That doesn't matter.
Terry, how much is it for?
20 grand.
Oh, fuck.
But listen, you're safe.
You're safe as long as nobody knows.
So you have to be strong.
You have to stick by the game plan.
However strongly you may feel this urge,
however right you may feel it is to follow it, you can't.
And I want you to promise me, Jack, that you won't.
Now, you promise me.
Will you do that for me, son?
Will you promise me that you won't?
[crying]
It's so fucking hard.
I know.
[Man] And as we heard from the recordings
from each boys' willingness
to extricate himself from blame at the expense of the other,
both of them are to blame.
Both committed the act,
though neither will accept responsibility,
let alone provide a reason for their actions.
Though why should they?
And if they did,
would it be sufficient to explain the loss
of this beautiful, this innocent child?
Who once, so brim-full of potential, will now never have it realized.
Who has been, in the most violent manner imaginable,
wiped off the face of the earth.
What reason could be good enough?
None.
None but this.
That they are bad.
No, no other description will do.
That they are evil.
But more crucially,
that they are dangerous.
And that they must... not as punishment,
no, that's irrelevant
as is the hope of rehabilitation...
But that they must, for the sakes of our children,
all of them,
for their safety and well-being,
be sent away for as long as is lawfully possible.
[Man, clapping] That's right!
Lock them up!
- Amen. - [crowd claps]
Daddy, no!
No, Daddy, don't let them take me!
No, don't let them take me away!
Mommy, please!
No! No, Daddy!
Daddy, no! No!
This bloke should die?
Hmm?
Look at his hair.
Why don't you ever go out, Zeb?
I don't know.
Meet any friends since you got here?
I'm fine, Da.
I don't think so.
You're always drinking.
I mean, don't get me wrong,
I enjoy a bit, son, but is it healthy?
That's rhetorical, by the way.
I know.
Now, I know that it's not healthy.
And what I'm trying to tell you is that...
Fuck, I'm pissed.
[scoffs]
What, that you're pissed?
No, no, l...
Thank you.
You should be out there getting a life.
Doing something.
I'm not trying to tell you what to do,
but I don't like seeing you lying around night after night.
So do something useful and pour me something, would ya?
- [laughs] - [laughs]
Cheers.
[sighs] Fuck it, you're right.
What's that?
His hair is ridiculous.
- [laughs] - [laughs]
Hmm.
Forget it all, son.
You're young.
Plenty of time to sort yourself out and get your act together.
I love you, Jack.
You're my greatest fucking achievement.
Where's Michelle?
She rang in sick this morning.
Oh.
[whispering] All right, Michelle,
um, uh...
I just heard you were sick.
Uh, I hope you're not feeling too bad.
Uh...
just wondering.
I c... I can... I can drop over after work if you want.
It... It's a cold, yeah?
Love you.
[loud beeping of truck backing up]
[doorbell rings]
[knocking]
Michelle?
[doorbell ringing repeatedly]
I don't know.
I think she might be at her mum's.
Well, have you rung her?
Yeah, her phone's switched off.
Well then, how do you know she's not alone?
Because I've been out there twice.
So ring her mum.
No. I ain't got her number, have I?
All right, look, you know what?
Claire will probably know.
Let me give her a call, and I'll call you back.
She says she ain't heard from her in a couple of days.
Okay. What about boyfriends?
I'm her boyfriend.
No, ex-boyfriends.
Did she ever mention any...
No, no, no one.
Shit.
You think she's hurt.
- No. - Yeah, you do.
Just let me think a minute.
Do you think I hurt her, Terry?
What?
Do you think I hurt her?
No. Never.
Never, Jack.
I'll make some calls when I get back.
Make sure her car hasn't been in an accident or something.
In the meantime, you just...
Thank you.
- Wait and see. - Thank you, Terry.
Yeah.
[rope creaking]
[phone rings]
Oh, fuck, fuck!
[ring]
- Jack, Dave. - Hello.
Listen, we're not going to need you at work today.
Oh, why not?
Or for the foreseeable future.
What've I done?
Don't come to the depot again.
Do you understand?
We'll send you what you're owed in wages.
Wait. Dave, Dave? Um, uh, just...
Goodbye, Jack.
Oi, mate, it's Jack here.
Hey, um, Dave just called me.
Told me not to come in.
He obviously knows you're not who you say you are.
Is he wrong?
Chr- Chris?
No, of course he's not.
You've got to just listen to me.
- Where's Michelle? - What?
Is she hurt? Have you hurt her, you fuck?
How could you ask me that question?
You're a murderer, aren't you?
- Who says? - Everyone.
How could we have been so blind to allow you to...
- You've got to please, Chris... - No, Jack.
I'm done with you.
Chris? Chris, mate. Chris?
[sigh]
[Terry's voicemail] Sorry I can't take your call...
Oh, for fuck's sake, Terry!
[breathing heavily]
Anything you want to say?
[Men talking all at once]
Do you think you're rehabilitated?
Do your neighbors not have the right to know?
Sorry I can't take your call right now.
Oh, fuck, Terry.
Just leave your name and number...
Terry, Terry, Terry. Fuck, fuck, fuck!
Shit.
No, I ain't that boy.
[crying]
No, I ain't that boy.
No, I ain't that boy. I ain't that boy.
Fuck! Fuck!
I ain't that boy.
Please.
No! [sobbing]
Sorry I can't take your call right now.
Just leave your name and number,
and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you. Bye.
Aah!
- What you doing? - Huh?
That's vandalism.
Have you nothing better to do?
- [laughs] - What?
How about what you were doing earlier?
Excuse me?
Kissing and stuff. You know. You did with...
You saw that?
You spying little shitbags.
Hey, watch it.
Don't threaten me.
- I will if I want. - You won't.
I will if I want.
Who the hell do you think you are?
Look at you.
When's the last time you had a bath?
- Ah... - Scum.
- What? - Scum is what you are.
And you.
Why on earth would any girl...
[gasp]
Would any girl what?
Would any girl want to...
- Aah! - Would any girl what?
Would any girl what?
I'm gonna tell my dad.
Aah!
Get off me! You... aah!
- [growling] - Get off!
[girl screams]
Come on!
Aah!
Get off!
Get off me! Get off me!
Aah! Aah!
Help! Help me!
- Aah! - Come on!
Aah! No!
[cough]
- Aah! - Come on!
Help me! Aah!
[train whistle]
Aah! Oh, fuck!
[train horn]
[breathing heavily]
[door opens]
[crying]
Tickets, please.
Ticket, sir.
Oh, can I get one now?
- Sure. - I had to run for the train.
Where to?
Where are you going to?
All the way.
- Return? - Sorry, no. Single.
Single.
All the way.
That's £10.30, please.
- Get up. - Hey!
You fucking little cunt.
Why?
- Why'd you do it? - Do what?
How'd you do it? Was it my laptop?
You shouldn't leave shit lying about.
How'd you get the password?
You had it taped underneath the fucking thing.
Where's my phone?
Where's my fucking phone?
Trainer.
Have you any idea what this has cost me?
Have you any idea what it's cost that kid?
And what did he cost me?
What?
Him and the others, what did he cost my mum?
- What the fuck are you talking about? - She left me.
Ah, she didn't! She took you!
In all that time, you couldn't have come even once to see me?
What... not once, not even once!
It took me to come to you, and you don't even want me here!
- What? - Don't say ya do.
- It's Haddon! - Who?
Eric, Jack... whatever his fucking name is!
Jack... your greatest fucking achievement!
- Zeb... - Get away from me!
[crying]
A monster, Da. A monster over me!
Well, I hope he suffers.
I hope they crucify him! Do you hear me?
I hope he fucking rots!
I hope he rots.
Love?
Excuse me, love.
Oh, thank God.
I thought you were dead there for a second.
This is the end of the line, love.
I'm sorry?
This train doesn't go any further.
Thank you.
## [merry-go-round music]
Hi.
What are you doing here?
- Thinking. - What about?
About you.
I see you're in the papers again.
Yeah.
It wasn't me that told them.
I never thought it was.
So how come you're here?
I'm escaping.
A good a place as any.
You see the tower?
Yeah, how could I miss it?
You like it?
Oh, I love it.
I would have forgiven you.
Would you?
Given time.
[sniffs]
It's not about you anymore, though, is it?
No.
Anyway, I've got to go.
You coming this way?
[whispers] No.
Okay.
I'll see you around, Jack.
I love you.
Damn.
You beat me to it again.
[Jack] Oi, Terry.
Yeah, they know.
Everyone knows now.
I'm on me own now.
I can't go back...
being that other person
because that other person is dead.
Remember you said that?
Anyway,
sorry I let you down.
Thank you for trying, Terry.
I love you.
Chris, it's Jack.
It was always Jack.
I wanted to tell you the truth, mate.
I really, really did.
But just because I couldn't don't mean I lied to you.
I hope you can understand that.
And I hope that you know just how much you did for me.
So I'm just gonna say goodbye now.
You remember that girl?
Remember we saved that girl, mate?
You remember that.
