When I was in the boob, I done a degree, done a bit of physics.
There's this law by this guy, Isaac Newton.
He reckons that for every action, there's a reaction.
So I've been living my life like that.
My beautiful wife.
I don't think I love you anymore, Jimmy.
- Hello. - Hello. Good to see you again.
If you break the conditions of your probation, you go back to prison.
What have you got that anyone can look up to?
Joe, that's enough.
- No wonder Ellie turned out the way she did. - Ellie?
(SHRIEKS) No! No!
Eh? What you got here?
What's this? Do you take this?
No, no, please don't!
That's my granddaughter. Now, I'd appreciate it if you wasn't to supply her.
We sell pizzas.
You all right, mate?
Are you all right?
- Blow to the back of the head. - Name?
James Victor Rose on his driving licence. Aged 61.
Hello, James, you're in A&E. Can you hear me, James?
- Maybe it's Jim or Jimmy. - Can you hear me, Jimmy?
I think he just said, "I love you."
Right, well, he's got injuries consistent with a severe beating, although he insists he fell.
Ribs, kidneys, possible concussion.
- Who's Jimmy Rose? - Armed robber from years back.
He was lucky someone found him.
It was an old man with a dog and a street cleaner.
- They found him? - Yeah, in Lewisham.
- Cup of tea? - Yes, please.
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
(BLEEPING)
(RAPID BLEEPING)
Roy? I need some clothes and a brush.
An hair brush!
I'm in a hospital.
(PANTING) Yeah.
Jesus!
(GROANS)
Roy.
Well done, mate. Go on. Go. Go.
(GRUNTS)
(WINCES)
Trousers. All right.
(GROANS)
- Are you all right? - Yep. Yep.
- I'll do your flies. - No. No.
- I'll do it. - No, I said, I'll do it.
(GRUNTS)
Jumper.
There's your paracetamol.
- Thought you couldn't trust me? - Any water?
Hairbrush.
- What are they? - (PHONE BUZZES)
What are they?
They're for your feet. I thought you couldn't manage laces.
Yeah?
No, we're in a... in a car wash.
We're on our way.
- Car wash? - I'll kill him.
- Well, where are you now? - (DOORBELL RINGS)
Roy?
- Mrs Jacquetta Rose? - Jackie.
DS Macintyre and DC Fraser. We're here about a Mr James Rose.
- What about my husband? - May we come in?
No. You may not.
Your husband was the victim of an assault.
He was admitted to hospital, but he seems to have walked out.
- I think you must have the wrong person. - Is he in?
- No, he's out. - He's not in any trouble, Mrs Rose.
The hospital said he could have concussion.
I've just told you, I know it's not him, because right now he's out with a friend.
Thank you for your help.
Thank you.
I'm saying this as your friend and one of the family.
- (JIMMY SIGHS) - Do you hear me, Jimmy?
Things have changed.
Do you want to go back into prison?
I'm meant to swallow it, am I?
Sometimes, yeah. Now, look at you.
Perhaps it's getting through to you at last.
Who's that?
That man's Mehmet Guzman, he owns a load of pizza shops.
- What the... - Jimmy, no!
No, don't.
- You see who that is? Tony Chivers. - Of course.
- I'll kill him! - It's not worth it.
He cost me four years of my life!
Now, they're definitely shifting drugs from there.
So what are you gonna do about it?
Ten years ago, you could have sorted Tony out, but not any more.
You're no good to your family in prison or laid out on a slab.
You want to prove yourself to them? There are other ways.
What other ways?
(CAR HORN TOOTS)
- He had an accident. - Shut up, Roy. I wasn't born yesterday.
- Well? - I just fell over.
You've only just got out of prison. You're on licence.
The police were here, looking for you.
- What did you tell them? - What do you think?
- What's broken? - Nothing.
I got some bruises and I've done something to my leg.
Come and sit down here, look. There we go.
- All right, Sue? - You all right?
All right?
(GRUNTS)
You go, I'll manage him.
- All right? - Yeah.
Come on, get out.
I'd appreciate it if you tell me where you are. And where's my bloody hairbrush?
(SIGHS)
Who did this to you?
Yeah, you're right.
You're none of my business anymore.
12 in the red.
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight...
Jimmy?
All right, Jimmy?
Jimmy Rose, the legend, that is!
- I got butterflies, Jimmy. - Do me a favour. Go away.
I can't believe you work here.
When I heard you were working, "Paperchasing? Jimmy's working in DIY?"
Come on, Jimmy. Smoke the peace pipe with me, Jimmy.
When you come out of prison, you don't call me.
I mean, I would have picked you up.
I would have picked you up in a Porsche.
You've got new friends.
Hey, I'm still self-employed. I'm stacking cash.
Jimmy, none of this minimum-wage bullshit.
I know you've still got it in you, Jimmy.
Listen, these are dangerous men, big men.
- Are you threatening me? - Yeah.
Look, they're selling drugs to my granddaughter.
I'll put in a word, maybe I'll get a discount?
I think you might be needed in the office, Jimmy.
Can I help you, sir?
No, you can't.
It's OK. It's OK.
You did the right thing. You're doing the right thing. Just take a breather, yeah?
I've sent him off.
Look... got a red card.
Do you need a break?
- No. - Cup of tea?
- Come and have a cup of tea. - Yeah.
Here we go. Good old Roy.
- (CENTRAL LOCKING BLEEPS) - Good boy.
(DOORBELL RINGS)
(GASPS)
Ohh!
Oww!
(GROANS)
(PANTING)
I really do think you should get this looked at but...
No, I'm fine, thank you.
- Could you give us a minute? - Yes, sir.
I heard.
I just wanted to make sure you were OK.
I'm fine, I think.
I've missed you.
"I'm here if you need me. Granddad."
(DASHBOARD BLEEPS)
You're early.
Oh, Kerry. Yeah, sorry, babe.
The bus came along a bit lively, so bing, bang, bong.
Don't be sorry. Come on.
Have you slept?
(CHUCKLES) Yeah, I've slept like a baby.
- Really? You look terrible. - Do I?
Yeah. What's going on, Jimmy?
Nothing.
You were fished off the streets by an ambulance at God-knows-what time yesterday morning.
- No, I wasn't. - No, no, don't give me the run-around.
You weren't mugged, they left you with your wallet.
I'm holding down a job.
Why was you beaten up?
I wasn't.
So this report about the police being called last night, you don't know what I'm talking about?
Haven't got a clue.
A car was set on fire, Jimmy.
Oh.
At your house, Jimmy. Unless you're about to tell me you're not living with --
Jimmy, we're not fin...
Jimmy!
Agh! Jackie!
Jackie?
- When was you going to tell me? - Tell you what?
- The car! When did it happen? - Last night, around 11.
Why didn't you call me? You know what this is about.
- Who the fuck are you? - Detective Sergeant MacIntyre.
Right.
- Are you OK? - Yeah, I'm fine.
So... you have an idea who might have done this, Mr Rose?
No.
Are you sure? I thought you were about to explain.
Well, I wasn't.
Your wife's very lucky, the house could have gone up.
You think I don't realise that?
I don't think anything. I'm just wondering where you were.
I was at my granddaughter's.
- Can she verify that? - No.
You'll have to take my word.
Thank you for your time, Mrs Rose.
Mr Rose.
Oi! Oi!
Have you got a warrant card?
- I'm sorry? - A warrant card. You're a copper, ain't ya?
Did he show you that?
Yeah, when he came round asking questions about you being in hospital.
Right. You, out.
(DOOR SLAMS)
(FOOTSTEPS Approaching)
Why didn't you tell me, Jacks?
It happened too fast.
Who did this, Jimmy?
You always said you didn't want to know my business.
Yeah, well, I'm asking now.
Tony Chivers. And I think he's supplying Ellie.
That's why I got a kicking and was sitting outside her flat all night.
- I'm gonna kill the bastard. - No, no. I don't want this any more.
- He's just burnt your car out! - I don't care! I don't wanna live like this!
- It might be normal for you but it's not for me. - How do you want to live?
I'll tell you how I want to live. I want...
I want everything to be OK.
I want Ellie to be safe,
I want Julie to be happy,
I want Elliot to go to university if he wants to, I want Joe not to hate you.
And I don't want you breaking the law.
OK.
(SIGHS)
- What have you done to your hand? - It's nothing. It's just a sprain.
- Let's have a look. - It's fine. - Sit down and let me have a look.
Who put this on?
Turn your hand over.
- Where's it hurt, there? - Ow!
Ooh, ooh, ooh!
Cowardy-cowardy custard.
I've seen a lot of first aid in the last 12 years.
I got pretty good at it.
I've had an affair, Jimmy.
Jimmy... I had an affair...
.. about six months ago.
I'll be late for work.

(JIMMY AND ROY ARGUE)
Jimmy!
- SUE: Roy? - (JIMMY EXHALES HEAVILY)
I hear she told you.
Why are you surprised? Maybe now she can start living a bit.
- Who was it? - You knew about this?
I'm not telling you. You didn't tell her about the robberies.
- Who was it? - You knew about this?
All these years, she's been loyal. Don't forget, every time you went down, she got a sentence and all.
All right, that's enough! Sorry, mate, I didn't know about this.
(SUE SHOUTS)
What are you doing, Jimmy?
Look at my car!
Roy, look at it! Roy!
(JIMMY SOBS)
Jimmy? Jimmy?
You were meant to be here 82 minutes ago.
- Was I? - When you're late, I have to dock your wages.
So don't be. Get one of these.
I've got one that makes the tea, as well.
- Are you OK? - Yeah.
- What's happened? - Nothing.
- Do you need a break? - No.
Look, why don't I arrange some extra hours to make up?
Ta.
They should make one like Wallace and Gromit --
gets you up, tips you into your clothes, spreads jam on your toast...
If you need me, I'm around.
- (HEAVY THUD) - MAN: Open the door now!
- (THUDDING AND POUNDING) - Open the door!
Open the door.
- In the lift! They're in the lift! - Wait, wait!
Oh, Aaron, I thought you'd talked to him!
I tried, didn't I?
I can't do this! What if we don't have his money?
Ellie, Ellie, Ellie... look at me.
It is gonna be OK, I promise you.
Oi, come on. Look at me.
You and me, OK?
- You know what he said. - But it won't come to that, OK?
Oi, I know other people.
Or we can ask your granddad. It was his fucking fault in the first place.
But I hardly know him.
He loves you. Why else would he sit outside our gaff all night, OK? All right?
I'm gonna talk to Tony and tell him his money's coming, and that's gonna buy some time.
Find your granddad. Look at me. Find your granddad.
- Where are you gonna go? - I'm gonna talk to him.
- Don't leave me! - Listen, find him, OK?
Give me a smile. Give me some sugar.
- Night, Butch. - Night, mate.
Granddad! Where you been?
What?
- What's the matter? - Come on! We got to go.
Where have you been?
Work, I've been at work.
Them people Aaron owed the money to were kicking down our door.
- What money? - For the shit that you poured over his head!
How much?
- 20 grand. - 20 grand? How do they work that out?
I don't know. They said Aaron owed them and it's a fine.
You got to get rid of this Aaron.
Are you listening to me, Ellie? He's no good for you.
No. What we need to do is pay them or we get seriously hurt,
as in him and me.
- What happened to my little girl? - I grew up.
Did you? Then why are you throwing your life away?
Me?
You've been in prison for more years than I've been alive. Don't lecture me!
Are you clean?
- Are you using? - No.
The truth.
Well, sometimes. Not now.
Do you hate me?
I love you.
This is love.
It's your choice, kid.
I'm not going back to Mum's.
Wait here, babe.
(DASHBOARD BLEEPS)

(EXHALES HEAVILY)
(PHONE RINGS)
Hello?
JIMMY: Joe. It's me.
Don't hang up.
My God, you don't give up, do you?
I didn't want to knock. I didn't want to wake everyone up.
Oh, that's... that's very thoughtful of you.
What a nice person.
Look.
I need you to do something for Julie and your mum.
A favour.
No. No. I'm not falling for any of your crap, mate.
It's not crap, Joe.
Really? What is it, then?
(JIMMY EXHALES HEAVILY)
Hello, Joe.
No. She's a drug user. I've got two small children.
She's not doing it anymore and your place is the safest place for her.
She's been threatened and her boyfriend's gone missing.
- Take her to the police. - We go to the police, she'll run away again.
- I'll stay with her. - No. Take her to a hotel. My family comes first.
She is your family, you little shit. She needs your help!
What's going on, Joe?
Hello, Maria.
Hi.
- Is that Ellie? - Yeah.
- You all right, darling? - Hello, Uncle Joe.
How are you doing? Nice to see you.
- Just give me a minute. - No, they don't want me.
Yes, they do, they're just sorting out the sleeping arrangements. It'll be all right.
- Come on in, please. - Thank you.
Thanks.
- I'll make you some coffee. - That'd be lovely.
- Are you hungry? - What's her name?
- Mia. - Mia?
- Yes. - That's a nice name.
Thank you. Would you like to hold her?
- Me? - Go on.
She's your cousin. Right?
A ver. Cuidado.
What part of Spain are you from, Maria?
- Tortosa. - Oh, I know it, yeah.
It's got the castle on the hill.
A mate of mine went to Benicassim.
We took little Joe there years ago when he was a little boy.
- Yeah, he told me that. - Did he?
- Yeah. - Well, my mate's back now.
You know, well, the extradition laws changed.
So erm...
Where did you and Joe meet?
At International Property Fair at Olympia.
It was 2008. No-one was buying.
He asked me to lunch.
Well, he's done very well.
Sorry I didn't make the wedding.
Lovely to meet you, Maria.
And you, Mr Rose.
- Thank you. - Granddad?
She's smiling.
Is she? Give me a look, then.
Oh, come on, baby.
I'm your granddad, Jimmy Rose. Yes.
Don't get too comfortable, cos Mum's on her way.
Is she?
You're beautiful, ain't you, bubba? Give us a kiss.
You did a good thing.
At least she trusts one of us.
Are you wearing knickers?
Show me.
Come here.
Shit.
It's all right, Linda, he doesn't have the balls.
No, but I've got the bottle.
This ain't the Brixton riots, Jimmy.
- I want you to stay away from my family. - Yeah?
Well, then, back off, don't keep coming back for more.
And whatever it is, you leave my granddaughter out of it.
The little one? She just owes us money, Jimmy.
She pays, it goes away.
If it was down to me... but it's not. It's not my money she owes.
You see, Tony, you crossed the line.
Nobody touches my wife.
Yeah? How would you know?
You've been away for 12 years.
Jimmy, I'm only joking. Jimmy!
- It's a joke! - You. Out.
Really?
Jimmy, don't.
Jimmy, don't be silly.
Oh, shit. It's water!
You bastard!
(DOORBELL RINGS)
Who is it?
- Dad. - Dad.
- What have you done with her? - She's at Joe's, your mum's with her.
- Why's she at Joe's? - Safety.
She don't want to see me, does she?
It's tough for the pair of you at the moment.
You OK?
What about you? Mum rang, said she was worried about you.
- Look, I want to stay here for the night. - Why?
- I thought you were at Mum's. - Make a nice cup of tea.
I bought it from a charity shop. I thought you'd like it.
I like it. No, I do.
Action, reaction.
It's got me in a lot of trouble, that.
Hm.
(PHONE RINGS)
Ellie?
- Aaron? - Ellie?
- Aaron? - I need you. Come quick.
It's really great Ellie's back. I'm really happy.
But I'm not gonna dance to his tune.
Well, maybe you won't have to much longer.
Yeah, well, that is the silver lining, isn't it?
Look, Mum...
Even as a kid, I've seen what it does to you.
You know, you can't hide it.
Mum, he doesn't deserve you.
I know you've always had to be the man of the house.
But look how well you've done.
You did all this.
(EXHALES)
So, go on, then...
.. who was it?
- It doesn't matter. - When was it?
I'm not going there.
Mum, it wasn't that er... policeman was it?
The one that kept making all those house calls after Ellie got cautioned?
Mum?
(LAUGHS)
My God! No! Mum!
I'm sorry for laughing, but that...
Well, that's finally gonna get shot of him, isn't it?
- It's like the first day of spring or something. - He's your father.
Only till you get divorced, right? Come on!
- Come on, we're late. - Come on, sausage.
- Say goodbye to Granny. - Bye-bye.
Shall we get in the car?
- Shall we get in the car? - (GIGGLES)
Why don't we get in the car? See you later.
Bye!
Where's Ellie? She's not in her room.
Is this mine, Daddy?
No.
Hey, that's OK. Whatever.
Excuse me, I'm looking for Mr James Rose.
I'm his wife.
Ah, Mrs Rose, what a pleasure.
Yeah, James... Oh, look. There he is.
- Do you want me to accompany you? - No. No. It's fine, thank you.
- Jimmy. - What's happened?
Ellie's missing. I don't know where she lives.
- Well done. - You saying it's my fault?
- I don't know, is it? - Just give me the address.
Come on, I'll come with you.
Jimmy, you can't walk out of your job.
- Can't I? - (SIGHS)
Everything all right?
You don't finish till eight. You need to clock out. You haven't clocked out.
He hasn't clocked out. He doesn't finish till eight.
- Do you think she's gone to find drugs? - She's gone to find her boyfriend.
- You're being... - Who was it?
Ellie?
- Ellie? - Who is it?
- It's me and Nanny. - Go away!
Ellie, we're just here to help, sweetheart.
What have you done?
What do you mean, what have I done?
What's the matter?
Mind, Jacks.
- Ellie? Who is it? - What's happened?
JACKIE: Dear God!
Who done that?
Someone called Tony. He said cos you threatened him.
- You're coming home with me. - No, no. Both of us.
- Of course. - It ain't that simple.
No, it's gonna be both of us. They said they're gonna kill us.
- She's right. - I'm not gonna leave you.
Are you sure Julie can cope with this?
She'll have to.
- What did you tell her? - I told her it was all my fault.
- Whatever you do, don't make it any worse. - I won't. I'll get the money.
Where are you gonna find 20 grand, Jimmy?
Does he know about our loss in Spain?
Yeah, it's common knowledge.
Except for me. Thanks.
(RINGS DOORBELL)
MAN: All right, I'm coming! Coming!
Charlie!
They let you out, then? (LAUGHS)
Not like the old days, eh?
(LAUGHS) Hey, sit down.
You're making the place look untidy.
Look at Reggie and Ronnie there.
I'm sorry about Ginny passing away, Charlie.
Yeah.
I feel blessed, Jimmy, because we loved each other until her dying day.
That's good, mate.
She would have loved to have seen you. She sort of adored you. And Jackie.
How is she?
Fine, Jackie's fine.
So how can I help you?
Well, erm...
I need to get my hands on 20 grand a bit lively, and you heard about our problems in Spain...
I thought you might have a few quid squirreled away.
Do I look like I have any left?
Like you, probably, I can't get rid of the house.
Do you know anyone who's got any cash?
I've kept my nose clean for the last ten years.
I'm out of the loop.
- Are you in trouble? - No, not me, Charlie.
My granddaughter's got a few problems and...
I had a run in with that slag Tony Chivers.
That shit?
I heard he's been driving around in a pimp-mobile,
and working security for Mehmet Guzman.
From what I heard... if you owe him, pay him.
Dial the number...
.. 666...
- WOMAN: Joe Rose estate agents. - Hello. - Can I help you?
- Is Joe there, please? - He's out at a viewing. Can I help?
- No, it's his dad. - He'll be back after picking his daughter up.
Of course. It's that time. Listen, I'll call him back.
- Can I take a mobile number? - No, I'm on a landline, darling. Thank you.
(CHILDREN CHATTERING AND LAUGHING)
(LOW DIALOGUE)
JIMMY: Mehmet Guzman.
Oh, Joe, what are you doing?
JOE: Give me a call and we'll talk about it.
- Right. - See you later.
- Come round for dinner sometime. - OK, will do.
All right. See you later.
(DOOR BUZZER)
MEHMET: Yes?
Hello, it's Joe's dad, India's granddad.
Oh, right. Something wrong?
No, no, she left her pullover. I've got it in the car.
OK.
(BUZZER)
(GATE OPENS)
(LOW CHATTER FROM INSIDE)
Just behave yourself, girls, all right? I'll be one minute.
(DOOR OPENS)
Hi. We've not met.
No, but I've seen you about, I've heard all about you.
You're India's grandfather?
Yeah, but er... I've got two granddaughters...
.. one you invite round to play, and one you threaten to beat up.
I think you have me confused with someone else.
No, my son does, but I know exactly who you are.
And who do you think I am?
You have a fella called Tony Chivers working for you. I'd like you to call him off.
I'll deal with the debt.
- I think it's about time you left. - I'll pay the debt.
It's a lovely house you got here.
Now I know where you live.
Mr Rose...
leave now.
Yeah.
I'm not sure he can talk at the moment.
It's important.
Whatever it is, I'm not interested, Dad.
Joe...
- He's a drug dealer. - Who's a drug dealer?
Mehmet Guzman.
What are you on about?
He's the slag that Ellie owes money to,
and you're allowing him to take India to play with his daughters.
Yeah, I am. And he has his daughter round mine to play, because Mehmet's a friend of mine.
He's also a chair of the school governors, Dad.
Look... just leave, please.
I don't want to call the police.
Police?
I heard that Mum told you about the policeman.
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
- What are you doing here? - I got a message you wanted to see me.
- I haven't called you. - Are you sure?
Steve, I know when I've rung someone.
- Are you OK? - Yeah.
Come through.
How did you get in?
A copper.
Of all the people in the world...
a copper.
You'd know more about the police than most, Mr Rose.
Detective Sergeant McIntyre. Is that how you operate?
You bang people up, then you slip into their wives?
- That's not how we met. - Do your governors know...
about you banging the wife of a convicted armed robber?
- Are you threatening me? - Don't, Steve.
It's immoral.
Now, I...
.. I need you to take out divorce proceedings against me.
Against you? On what grounds?
Oh, I don't know, erm...
What do you think, Steve?
Eh?
What do you think?
Unreasonable behaviour?
Eh?
Unreasonable behaviour.
"I... love... you."
Is that unreasonable enough?
(DOOR SLAMS)
What do I do now?
Now he knows.
- It's not that simple. - It is that simple.
The best I got was, "Maybe we will, maybe we won't".
- Well, now he knows. - You think that's gonna be the end of it?
- Jackie, you haven't done anything wrong. - Please, I need you to go.
(EXHALES HEAVILY)
You really have been making a nuisance of yourself, haven't you?
No, I had a chat with you governor, Mr Guzman.
I'm taking on the debt my granddaughter and her boyfriend owe.
- Have you got my money? - No.
But... I'll pay it off by working for you.
- That's it, is it? - Yeah.
I'm done with being a good boy.
Slag.
