The Interceptor

We're only ever one mistake

from being shut down by Gemmill's bastard of a boss.

It's all on there. Got it off her computer.

You're positive he didn't see you?

Positive.

What's in the black book?

You get me his name and I'll show you.

Docker.

There's higher up than him.

Although Docker is very keen that I put a bullet in you.

Somebody has to stop them.

I am not putting me or them kids through this any more.

Yorkie?

No.

'You gotta have some.'

'Well, you got to have some you can give me.'

'Listen, no joke. I'm almost out. Totally skint.'

'Yeah, same, mate. I'm living off scraps here.

- 'You know what we need, innit?' - 'What's that?'

We need this special package to come in. Know what I'm saying?

You all right, mate? You're back.

'What? And it's a definite, yeah? This package is coming in?'

'Special package.'

Yeah, it's coming in for sure.

That's the word from the top, yeah?

'Sweet. I want me some of that.'

Yeah, well, join the queue, mate. I'll let you know when, though. Laters.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Fergus, right?

GLASS SMASHES

That's better. See, it doesn't take long.

I've spent a lot of time in enclosed spaces.

That's taught me the importance of order, you know?

Everything in its place helps to focus your thoughts.

Without order, it's almost impossible to achieve your goals.

Should remember that.

What's the point in having polish if you're never going to use it?

Hey?

And where's the rest of your gear?

There ain't none. That was the last!

HE SHAKES CAN

No, I swear to God. Honest!

Look, there's supposed to be...

Supposed to be what? Hey? What?!

More coming in. A lot more! A shipment!

This month!

Who told you that? Eh?

Mal! He heard it from Xav. That's his uncle.

- He does the takings. - Where?

All right. Dry-cleaner's! Lingdale Street.

GAS HISSES

MICROWAVE BEEPS

You're benching me?

Oh, you're not listening! You're just not working Docker, that's all.

- I got you his name. - He saw you!

Then he made a concerted effort to have you killed!

Both of which, I might add, you neglected to mention to us,

or any of your other colleagues.

Come on, Ash. You'd be a liability. And you know it.

Did you learn anything else from this... Yorkie?

No.

We're working Docker carefully.

With the extent of our infiltration on the phones,

there'll be plenty other avenues to explore.

But...

you're right.

You got us Docker's name.

And a deal's a deal.

Martin, we...

- PHONE RINGS - Sorry, I...

Hello.

No. No, no. No, yeah. Yeah.

Er, yeah, yeah, it was a good night.

Um, sorry, hang on.

Let me just, er...

What did you expect was in there? The lost Harry Potter?

Everybody needs a hobby.

I love that one.

DOOR SLAMS

You took your time. Did he give you trouble?

Not really.

So what'd you get?

See? I told you going after the pushers was the way forward.

It's easy money, innit? Hitting guys who ain't going to report it to the police.

Huh? Lovely. Low risk.

And low reward.

Ambition, Donny, is the keystone to success.

What, you get that out of this?

Look, I know you needed that motivation bollocks

to get you through it on the inside, but...

you don't want to wind up back there, do you?

Nice and steady. What we talked about.

ENGINE STARTS

Partners, yeah?

Partners.

Gavin Docker, Esq.

Number of convictions? One guess.

Zero.

No home phone, no mobile contracts.

In all the months we've been up on this crew, not one recorded call with him on it.

The electrician's firm he works for is pukka. All of them on that row are.

The motor is in his wife's name, which does flirt with dodginess.

These guys do that all the time.

They put anything and everything in the wife's name.

They don't leave a trail.

So it can't be taken if they get nicked. What about groundwork?

I dunno.

He comes and goes out of the yard in the front.

We watch the back. He never parks round there.

And when he goes out, he's a spark, changing plugs and doing fuse boxes.

And the rest of the time, he's in the shop.

Whole days and the van just stays right there.

We're watching him the whole time.

If I didn't know he was dodgy, I'd have trouble believing it.

PHONE RINGS

Hello.

Ah, hi.

Sorry, just give me a sec.

I'm Bernie's relief.

There's someone higher than him.

If you're right about that...

and there's someone else at the top, Docker's got to be the way in.

And I'm supposed to sit it out!

I didn't come this far to watch someone else take the star prize.

Come on, Ash. We're a team.

There's other angles.

Maybe.

Yeah, and, er...

.. it's going to be me and you again.

What?

Yeah, they're... they're giving me field duty.

Yeah? You're ready?

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

Lorna's going to be happy, knowing I've got your back.

What?

To Mexico. To business.

- Good trip, then? - We're in play.

He's sending someone, some lawyer of his, over to sign and seal,

and it's done.

I'm going to pull it off, Gav, bring it in.

You had your doubts, didn't you?

Proved you wrong, didn't I?

Didn't I?

All right, love.

If you want a chocolate biscuit, you know, you only have to ask.

Um, I... I need to talk to you about something.

Oh, yeah?

I got a call.

Hey...

Look, um, I was wondering if you could do a little bit of magic on this for me?

It got damaged...

You reckon you could figure out what the last number that called it was?

Well...

Yeah, it's probably nothing. I don't want to bother people with it.

Just between me and you.

Thanks.

Got no home to go to?

Just can't believe it. Ash and Lorn.

It's tough, for sure. But I've heard what he's like with his work.

I know he's your friend, but...

Yeah, my friend. He needs his friends more than ever.

I can help him, though.

How's the best way to do that?

Get back out there with him.

Are you sure you're ready?

Yeah. Of course, look.

Look, watch.

SONIA LAUGHS

- See? - Yeah... - Look at that. - Your legs, but...

Look... Sonia, I want...

I want to be back to... before.

I didn't know you before.

And... I like you just fine.

- Come on. - Right there? - Yeah?

- CAMERA CLICKS - Oh, you're tak...

- SONIA LAUGHS - I told you about that!

So what have you done about it?

- What can I do? - You can talk to her.

She knew what this work was going to be like.

Oh...

You didn't tell her, did you?

I tried.

- I tried. - Did you?

Or did you assume?

Come on. You can kip at mine tonight.

'Right, what's going on at Docker's?'

Absolutely nothing.

Nada.

'OK. Keep me informed.'

You might as well pop in and top up your tan.

- PHONE RINGS - That's funny.

Someone's calling out from the dry-cleaner's. Never usually calls out.

'What?' - MAL: 'It's me.' - It's Mal calling Xav.

- 'Where are you?' - 'At the shop.

'I got a situation. I've got something here.'

- 'What do you mean?' - 'I need you to come.

- 'What you on about?' - 'Not on the phone.'

- 'I'm miles away! - 'You need to come.'

- 'I'm not coming unless you tell me...' - LINE GOES DEAD

Right. Get yourself down that dry-cleaner's now.
