Tainted Blood

Did you take the flower off someones grave?

No.

Forgot.

Well I doubt they need one.

Probably drowning in his own whiskey right now.

What is it with all these old alchies?

Never fucking die.

Remember that place?

That's where I met her.

Chloe?

Had some good times

and then in the end, she just turned out to be a cunt.

Catch you at a bad time, Billy?

What the fuck do you want, Winters?

I think you know what I want.

Where's our money?

I ain't got your fucking money.

I think you're lying.

Look, you can't fucking come in here

and start-

Sit the fuck down.

Who the fuck do you think you're talking to, shit stain?

Where's the fucking money?

I don't have it.

Now Burroughs lent you a lot of money.

He wants it back, with interest.

Got it?

You're going around starting

your own little troop then,

in our own fucking backyard,

thinking we wouldn't notice.

Do you think I give a shit? You can't do this to me.

Cut her fucking tits off for all I care.

You heard it, Josh.

Listen here, you junkie fucking slag,

now you're not the only criminal we have to waste tonight.

Just tell me where it is.

Fuck you.

I'm sick of looking at your face.

It's gonna have to go.

Well he had more balls than I gave him credit for.

Hey, you did good back there.

I'll be sure to let Burroughs know about it.

I told him you were better than just a lacky.

I'll put in a good word for you.

Mm-hmm, okay.

Time to see Trixie.

Hello?

On as scheduled?

No.

It's not ready yet.

You got until midnight,

then I'm coming for it.

Okay, it'll be ready.

Never though I'd be doing this 20 years ago.

If I'd have followed my gut,

I wouldn't be dealing with these bastards.

I'd be in the ring.

You see, every time I got in the ring,

I didn't know if I'd get out alive or not.

But there's no bullshit, no politics.

Just down to who wants it the most.

Simple.

You know what?

I could've gone pro.

If the old man hadn't pissed all the money away.

He never believed in me.

Mocked everything I did.

He was just waiting for me to fail.

You can't trust anyone but yourself.

But now we've got a real prize.

Can't stand this fucking guy.

This is what we used to do years ago, but he's a real freak.

He was like you in some ways.

Real quiet.

Didn't talk much.

You send John to make people bleed.

Got a real kick out of it.

Got deep into the smack and pills.

Then his girlfriend OD'd.

Sent him over the edge.

Burroughs owns this guy now.

Kept him on for some specialist business.

We got this old client, likes seeing young girls cut up

and fucked up on camera.

He always rolls out this gimp

and he makes the videos of snuff films,

whatever you want to call them,

real sick shit.

Don't let looks deceive you.

He may look normal,

but he's capable of some real vile shit.

Right up here.

Remember what I told you.

Don't take your eyes off him.

Stay alert.

Come on.

I believe you have something for us.

Yeah, it's done.

Do you want it now?

There's no time like the present.

Give it to him.

Anything else?

Aren't you gonna offer us a drink, Steven?

Want a drink?

Glass of water.

You?

That wasn't so hard, was it?

You know, we had a job earlier.

So much blood.

Guy owed nothing.

A little bit of gear.

Mad dog ripped his fucking face off.

You look tired, Steven.

Yeah, I've not been getting much sleep.

You need your sleep.

It's important.

Since when do you care for my welfare?

You're an important commodity to the business.

Yeah, well,

all that's paid now by my reckoning.

By your reckoning?

Yeah.

What's this by your reckoning?

You don't reckon anything, you piece of junkie fucking scum.

We tell you when it's over,

not the other way fuckin' 'round.

Burroughs tells me,

I tell you, that's how it fucking works.

Got it?

Jesus fucking Christ.

Water tastes like bleach.

Let's go.

Get some rest, Steven.

You're late.

It's not my fault.

The guy wouldn't pay up.

He didn't have enough cash on him.

I ended up with 20 quid and some weird fucking medallion.

How man y times have I fucking told you,

any problems you speak to me, all right?

I didn't want to bother you.

You're always pissed at me lately.

Can't fucking win.

What's this?

Holy crap.

Do you like it?

Don't see these every day?

Do you think it's worth something?

Must be.

Did I do good?

Give that to my brother.

We're done?

Not quite.

I'm sorry.

Is she the last one?

Get me a spoon, steven

Remember that feeling?

There's nothing else like it, is there?

I'm done with all that.

You keep telling yourself that, Steven.

The client wants stockings on, no blood.
