Somewhere Boy

Ready?

Prepare to lose.

Watch this.

Danny, did I win?

No.

Ahh, come on! Was I close?

Miles away.

Ah, give me a break! Right, in here now. Rematch, come on.

Danny. Are we having a rematch or what?

Come on, what you doing?

Coming.

I want to come.

What?

I want to come with you.

Why?

I just want to see what's out there.

There's nothing out there.

You don't know that. There might be somewhere.

Where'd you get that?

Found it. What is it?

Don't matter. It's all gone, Danny. I told you.

I want to see.

You don't believe me?

I do. Of course, I do. It's just, I'm not a kid and...

It's too dangerous. I could help you get food, or...

I said it's too dangerous. ..I'm stronger now.

You wouldn't know what to do mate, OK? GET IT IN YOUR HEAD!

Teach me, then.

What to do.

So I can go out one day.

Yeah.

All right.

You, you, you don't think I should just give Tom's dad a call?

Why? Just to let, let him know about Danny.

Oh, yeah, that's a great idea, innit? Just say, yeah,

thanks for giving boys a bit of work,

and oh, by way, one of 'em's a fucking maniac. Jesus Christ, Aaron.

I never said he was a fucking maniac did I?

It's fine. You said you wanted me to get a job, so...

I know I did, OK? Right, then.

And it's safe? Oh, my days, it's picking fruit, Mum.

What do you want me to do, get him a crash helmet?

In case a fucking apple lands on his head?

OK. You'll give me a call later.

You don't need to call.

OK. All right, Danny love?

I'm fine, thanks.

Good. Right, then, well, have a good day, then.

Mum. Mm?

Door.

Right, yeah.

Put your belt on, Danny.

This is a nightmare.

Come on. Let's just get on with it.

Come on.

It stinks.

You all right? You the twats that fucked the gate, then?

Um, yeah.

You're late.

Right. Sorry.

Where's Mark?

Not here. Why?

Come on, then, I'll get you started.

It's not fair to leave the dog like that.

What's that?

The dog, it don't wanna be chained up like that.

Is that what he said?

No.

Don't worry about him, then. Come on.

Oh, I hope you like getting shit on your trainers.

What you doing? What?

Talking about a stupid dog.

But he's unhappy. I'm unhappy. Fuck the dog.

What?

I just mean, just forget about the dog. Don't fuck the dog.

Why would I fuck the dog? I don't know.

I don't know what goes on up in your head, do I? I'm not mad.

No? Then what are we doing here, eh?

Lover's tiff, is it?

Yeah. I mean, no.

Look just try and act normal, yeah?

Don't talk about monsters or Charlie fucking Chaplin,

just... Don't let on to who you are, all right?

And don't fuck the dog.

There's a barrow there.

See this great big pile of shit?

Needs to go in the spreader over there, all right?

All right?

Yeah, yeah.

What were you up here for, anyway?

Um, nothing. Just bored.

Best head to the most boring place in the world, then.

Yeah.

What's he like? Mark?

Well, you met him. Bit of a scary fucker, right?

No, he ain't.

No? What do you think of him, then?

Think he's a pussy. Yeah?

Yeah.

Pussy clot.

Right on.

Think you can handle that, yeah?

Yeah, yeah, course. Yeah. Easy.

Fuck's sake.

Oh, hi. Hi, it's Vicki, isn't it?

Yes. Danny, right? How's it going?

Er, yeah. Er, could I, could I just have a quick chat?

I'm due on a call, I'm afraid,

so you'll have to make an appointment.

No, I have, it's not for three weeks.

It's just... Please, er,

could I just have a quick minute?

Course. Shall we go to your office?

Erm, let's walk.

I, I just wanted to talk to you about how it's all going.

I mean, I think he is settling in OK.

It's just, my partner's worried. Just we've got young kids,

that it's not the right place for him.

But I, I, I think he's doing OK, and, erm,

he's even got a job, fruit picking, which I...

I think's good, you know?

Do him good to get outside after everything and...

Well, it all sounds very positive. Yeah?

Yeah. He's very lucky to have you. I've got to go.

Can you turn it off? Please.

He ain't lucky.

Look, I'm sorry. I know you're busy but I,

I don't know who else to talk to.

I were glad when he went away. My brother.

He were a nightmare.

And I put my whole life on hold looking after him

and it, it was so exhausting, and then, well, when he disappeared,

I were relieved.

But you couldn't have known what he'd do.

You had no idea where he'd taken him.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Come on, Aaron. There's a good boy.

Feel your muscles burning?
