Brotherhood

Blud, I'm not going to jail for you cuz, I'm not going jail for no one.

You'll never understand how much I hate you.

You?

Never fuck with a guy who ain't got nothing to lose.

- (MUFFLED MUSIC PLAYING) - (INDISTINCT CHEERING)

That was my man Freshky, we're going to keep the energy rolling,

for Royston Peel!

- (GUNSHOT) - (WOMAN SCREAMING)

I can't...

Can you remember his name?

I can't. I think it was...

- (INDISTINCT TALKING) - (SARIYA) His name is Mooks.

I'm gonna kill him.

Who's in here?

Oh, this guy.

I'm down, I'm down.

OK, OK, OK.

- Where's Mama? - I don't know.

Oh. Oh.

OK, shoo, go DRY-

I'm going to get you.

How you doing?

- I want some of this pussy before you go. - (CHUCKLES)

How about you behave?

I could have done with you coming back earlier to help get the kids ready.

I was working.

Did you go training?

- Do I not provide for my kids? - You do.

So what's the problem?

The problem is the kids need their dad,

not some guy who just works all the time and gives them money.

Take them to the park or something.

Well, that's what you do, I work four jobs.

Memories are just as important.

You know I don't like being around a lot of people and the jobs change.

Too often.

"The boss didn't like me, I had to leave."

Look, I'm temping in this office later, if they like me it could become permanent,

you know, my job is to provide and protect this family and that's what I do.

How can you protect us if you're never here.

I'm a man I've got to pay my way.

You know law pays well,

and when Mimi goes to nursery full time I'm going back to work.

It doesn't make you less of a man being with the kids.

No, I look after us, that's what I do!

Why do you push everyone away?

What if I spend too much time with them and they end up like me?

I'd be proud.

You know what I'd love?

Every Sunday morning I take the kids to the mall and

there's this little place that we have breakfast in.

Every week I sit waiting and just hope that one day you'll come in and surprise us.

Just us sitting there as a family.

That'd be nice.

I can button myself.

- Give Daddy a hug. - Come here, Mimi.

Oh.

Thank you so much, that's so nice.

Big man!

Oh.

I want that...

- ls that for me? Yes? - Yes.

- Hiya. - How are you growing so fast?

Don't know.

Mum, Sam's here.

Come in.

Have a seat, I'll just get Mum.

Oh.

- Would you like a drink? - No, I'm good thanks.

OK, I've got to go, I've got school.

- All right. - All right, wicked.

It's a good thing I get up early for work, hello.

- How you doing? - I'm good, how are you?

Man, she is growing up fast,

you know, I'm ageing, my hairline's gone back three inches, like.

But you don't even look like you're ageing.

I feel like I'm ageing.

- How's the little ones? - Yeah, good, yeah, we're...

We're all right, yeah.

Good.

And then the gun went off and I woke up here.

OK.

ls there anything else you want to tell us?

I don't know anything.

You don't think this could be connected to anyone you know?

No. That's not how I live my life.

All right.

Fi is doing really good, she's doing English, Art, Film,

she's really creative, she must...

Well, she doesn't get that from me.

- Here. - Absolutely not,

you were here six months ago, no.

Oh, please come on, let's not do this again.

You don't have to. I work.

- We don't even need it. - I need it.

And I know it helps.

Her 16th birthday is coming up, just get her something nice.

Thank you.

- See you. - I'll see you later.

Sam.

You know one day she's going to have to know, right?

Thank you very much.

Ah.

- I'm so sorry, I am so sorry. - It's fine, it's fine.

- Oh, sorry. Sorry. - Yeah.

Do you know how I can get to the London Eye?

Just get a taxi or get on the Tube, it's easy.

I would, I would like to walk.

- Walk? - Can you show me?

Thank you.

One hour 27 from here.

Can you put the directions in my phone?

- Yeah. - Thank you.

Ah, shit, I...

I must have left my phone at the hotel over there.

Can you come for me and put it in my maps?

No, babe, I've got somewhere to be.

Why don't you just ask reception and someone can put it in for you?

Please? And I'm...

I can quickly clean your top, since I messed it up.

What kind of hotel is this?

Hotel.

Serviced apartment, same thing.

My dad has money.

Finding myself.

- How old are you? - I'm 28, you?

- Older. - Mmm.

- What's your name? - Dominica, yours?

Mick.

Mick.

Oh, yeah, London Eye.

Um, your top please.

I will clean it quickly for you.

Thanks, Mick.

- What you doing? - Maybe some of this before you go?

No, no. I get that at home.

No, no, this you don't.

This is special.

Just clean my fucking top or give it back to me.

He doesn't want to leave.

No.

Baby, your mum is on her way.

I didn't tell her what happened.

Oh, right, thank you.

Oi, Solomon Northup, have you got hold of my brother yet?

Listen, this slave talk needs to stop, you know?

Anyway he's not answering, I'll probably phone back in a bit.

All right, cool, cool.

Listen, so I want to talk to you about yesterday.

What, about how much you care?

- Please, are you mad? - What, how you almost cried?

You know I got told you cried on me.

- "Oh, Royston." - (LAUGHS)

Whatever. What are you talking about, man?

I never cried like that man, are you mad?

- Oi, what are you doing? - Oh, what it's like that, Tupac?

What did you get shot or did I get shot?

- I'm going to remember that still. - You remember it.

Apartheid, yeah?

You remember it, you remember it, I know what you're like, bruv.

- Leave it man! - You're a hater, bro.

Hello?

What?

Where is he? Why am I only hearing about this now?

- Where's Royston? - Oh, room three.
