Harry Brown Page #2

Synopsis: In England, retired Royal Marine Harry Brown spends his lonely life between the hospital, where his beloved wife Kath is terminally ill, and playing chess with his only friend Leonard Attwell in the Barge pub owned by Sid Rourke. After the death of Kath, Len tells his grieving friend that the local gang is harassing him and he is carrying an old bayonet for self-defense; the widower suggests him to go to the police. When Len is beaten, then stabbed to death in an underground passage, Inspector Alice Frampton and her partner Sergeant Terry Hicock are sent to investigate. They pay Harry a visit but don't have good news; the police have not found any other evidence, other than the bayonet, in order to arrest the hoodlums. This mean that should the case go to trial the gang would claim self-defense. Harry Brown sees that justice will not be granted and decides to take matters into his own hands.

No, I'm afraid not, Mr. Brown.

Mr. Attwell is dead.

Sergeant, could you get Mr. Brown

a glass of water, please?

What happened?

He was assaulted.

Late last night.

What? Where? Where, at home?

No. He was found

in the pedestrian walkway.

Thank you.

Did you find out who did it?

I'm afraid the investigation's

still in progress.

When did you last see him?

Yesterday afternoon, we...

We played...

We played chess in the Barge pub.

Was he distressed

or concerned about anything?

No...Well, you know,

just about the kids on the estate.

Did he mention any names?

No. He never...

Just kids.

Hello.

Yeah, great, cheers.

Thanks, mate. Bye.

If there's anything you can help us with,

Mr. Brown, please get in touch.

Thank you.

Is there anyone we can call

to be with you?

Or I can send Social Services,

if you want?

No, no, no.

I don't need anybody.

I'll be all right.

OK.

We'll...We'll see ourselves out.

OK.

What a sh*t hole.

You wouldn't want to live round here

if you didn't have to, would ya?

Guv, normally we send uniform

to do the death-o-grams.

There's no need to do it yourself.

Ma'am, can I ask you a question,

and you can tell me

to mind me own business, but...

I heard that you requested

to be transferred here.

Cos most of the DI's would

give their right arm to be in fraud

or a cushy number like that,

do you know what I mean?

Sergeant Hicock,

if you refer to a notice of death

as a death-o-gram again

I'll have you reprimanded

before the Superintendent.

Police!

Come on, open the door,

we've got a warrant.

Jean, you know how this works,

open the door.

Don't make it more difficult

than it has to be.

- What's all this about?

- Where is he?

You're always f***ing picking on him!

Noel?

Noel! Sergeant Hicock.

Don't make me come up there!

Noel!

What's all the f***ing noise about?

Who's this, your new b*tch?

Noel Winters, I'm arresting you

on suspicion of murder...

I don't know what you're talking about!

Are you reading me my rights?

Think I don't know my f***ing rights?

I know them better than you do,

you muggy c*nt.

...may be given in evidence.

You get your f***ing hands off him!

He ain't done nothing.

Mum, give it a rest, will ya?

Sergeant Hicock, can I please

speak to my mum? She's upset.

Ma'am?

Yeah, go on then.

Call my uncle and tell him to

get my brief down the nick, all right?

Come on then, p*ssy'oles.

Watch my f***ing arm, c*nt.

You leave him alone.

This is harassment, this is.

About time, you nasty piece of sh*t.

Yeah, yeah,

yap, yap, you old slag!

Noel?

You never asked us that one question.

Yeah? What's that, then?

You didn't ask who you were

supposed to have killed.
