I Went Down

How are you?

How Iong do you have?

Another three months.

When you get out...

Anto feels very guilty.

He's still your best friend.

I need you to tell him that you think it's OK about me and him.

- Is this ajoke? - No.

He can't relax.

Here.

I want to give you this.

Will you tell him it's OK?

This isyourteam

and we are going to win the league this year.

Lookat theprizes for fuck'ssake.

Now you know thescore. Tickets, five forapound.

You can get them from me,

orat the bar.

You OK?

Oh, yes.

Bit tired.

Just a bit.

You know?

Did Anto... Was he...

It's cool.

Have you spoken to him?

I haven't spoken to him yet, no.

- Are you going to? - Yeah.

Who's that with him overthere?

That's Johnner. Bunny Kelly.

He used to Iive around the corner from me.

I'II never forget, one Sunday morn, he had a rowwith his granddad.

His granddad now, he stuck him in the bin.

Everyone was afraid to pull him out.

The poor man was in the bin for an hour and a half.

'Course Anto thinks they're great.

- You go overto him? - Yeah.

Um...

I don't want this.

I don't want it either.

No, it's yours.

Whatever about you and Anto,

that's nothing to do with you and me.

So you keep it.

I want you to keep it.

- Is that soda? - Yeah.

- Ifyou're not gonna drink it... - No, I'm gonna get one now.

Let me get this one.

You go and talkto Anto.

OK.

It's a freakthing.

Somebodywarned him.

And it was my personal responsibility to give them their money.

I'm not particularly fucking interested

in Iistening to your financial...

You know?

That's the story, Johnner. I just can't get it.

Well, it might be but that's not gonna satisfy anybody.

You're not even making a fuckin' effort, you know?

That you wanna get it sorted out.

You Iook Iike a dozy bollocks.

What can I do about it?

Well, you can get this for a start and then we'II take it from there, eh?

- (Doorjamb rattling) - Hello?

Can I help you there, pal?

How are youse, Iads?

There's athing with Anto, Git.

We gottatake care of it.

He'II be out of here in a minute.

It'sjust, you know, he's wanted now.

He has to do the raffle.

Excuse me?

Would you fuck off, please? Thankyou.

I don't want to have to put you out, Git.

I can't go without him.

I mean I just can't do it.

Steo.

- There's a Iot of people outside. - They know better.

- I'm putting you out, Git. - OK.

- OK? - OK.

- OK? - Jesus, Steo!

Come on.

Sorryabout this, you know.

We'dneverplayedbefore.

Thought, you know, we're playing 50 quid.

We Iose it, we Iose it, you know.

But that's it Iike.

It won't come back.

AII ofa sudden I'm ahead, you know.

Then you Iose a bit,

win a bit,

Iose a bit, borrow a bit.

Next thing I know, I'm trying to paythe whole thing off.

But never got heavy Iike that before.

I swearto God, you saved me in there.

Just Ieave it to me. I'II explain everything, OK?

OK?

I rememberwhen I was your age.

I was probablyworse than you.

I was a Iittle bollocks.

I was the one knacker you didn't wanna come near.

Forget it.

Forget about it.

But I was never stupid.

And you've been very fucking stupid.

He made a mistake, Mr French.

He didn't knowthe score.

Anto, I appreciate what you're doing,

and you're shitting your pants

and you don't knowwhat's gonna happen and that's probably good sense.

But at the end ofthe day, you're an arsehole,

and you're the Iast person I'm gonna Iisten to.

So shut up,

because if I thinkyou're getting a smart mouth I'II kickyour head in.

Now, you...

I'm talking to you. RockyV.

Look at his face.

Ifyou don't Iook at him, I'II breakyour fuckin' Iegs.

He's Iost the eye.

You've destroyed his face.

What kind of horrible, ugly, desperate bitch is he gonna end up with?

He'II be Iucky ifsome Arab Iets him finger his dog's arse for a fiver.

You Iike that, do you?

It'sjust, you know...

The wayyou said it was funny.

Steo.

Bring him inside,

and put Sky Sports on that.

I'm sorry. I won't say anything.

I'm finished with you anyway.

This is between him and me now.

I'II wait foryou.

Now by rights and normally,

there is no fucking way I'd be sitting here even discussing this.

I would've had your eye.

He's mywife's sister's boy.

I think he's useless.

But I can't have this.

I can't have the Mulligans hanging out of me bollocks,

trying to get me to do something.

Do you knowwho Frank Grogan is?

No.

OId associate of mine.

He was down in Cork doing a deal for me.

Johnnerwas supposed to go down and pick up the money.

But obviously he couldn't,

because he can't even see now.

I would've had another fellow do it but he's doing eight months for contempt.

And that Steo is useless.

Grogan hasn't got in touch with me.

Reckon he's panicked. Thinks something's up.

I need someone to go down, find him, bring the money back.

Mr French, I'm only out of prison.

It's very difficult for me to get involved in something Iike this.

There won't be any problems.

AII I want you to do is pick someone up at 3:00 in Gortin

and take him down to Grogan.

Friendly Face. Help him out. Reassure him.

Johnner handled it very badly.

And this is what I need you to do to make it right.

Jesus, Mr French, I'd Iike to help him get this all out ofthe way,

but it was an accident and you know...

Ifyou don't wanna do it, don't.

Just give me £25,000, and I won't be out of pocket.

This is details ofwhere Frank has been forthe Iast few days.

Keep the photo.

I'II see ifAnto can get us a cab.

I thinkAnto should stay here.

What, here here?

Don't worry. You've got company.

Who?

Bunny Kelly?

Kelly's a good man.

Don't think you'II have any problems.

Bit of cooperation.

He fucks up, it's your fault. You fuck up, it's his.

That way I don't have to go around trusting everybody.

I'm just gonna nip in here for a sec.

Shit!

Well, this is stupid.

Number one, I can see ya.

Number two, you're movin'.

And three, Iook, I know you're in there.

I can see you. You're behind awhat-you-may-call-it.

I can see ya.

You're gonna Iet me in?

I can't talkthrough this.

Hello, Mr Kelly.

Louise.

Teresa.

- Do you knowwho this Friendly Face is? - No.

- Do you know Grogan? - I know of him.

It says here he was staying in the CIaremont Hotel.

OK.

But that's overthe picture.

I mean, there's no way he's gonna still be there.

I don't know.

Ifthat's where he's staying...

But if he does knowwhat's going on, he'd be moving around, you know?

Yeah, that's one theory.
