Mr. Nice Page #2

Synopsis: Mr Nice is the true life story of Howard Marks who was born into a coal mining family in South Wales in 1940's and then made it to Oxford University to study nuclear physics during the swinging sixties. With the help of fellow students, Marks built a worldwide marijuana smuggling network which became responsible for the majority of the drug smoked in the Western world during the 1970s and 1980s. Marks' adventures led him to have dealings with the CIA, PLO, IRA and the Mafia and he even became an MI6 agent himself for a period. Howard Marks is played by the brilliant Rhys Ivans, who won much acclaim for his portrayal of the folk hero.

- Don't blame it all on the world.

I'm not. That's your idea,

to stop smoking. All right?

- Isn't it great?

- At times like this, I could murder a joint.

- You should have some.

- No, come on! Stop!

- All right, OK!

- Oh, no, it's... Listen...

- This is not fair.

- I feel good, I feel good.

How do you afford a place like this,

Graham?

I'm shifting 50 pounds of the finest

Pakistani black every f***ing month.

- F***ing hell.

- F***ing hell!

- Lot of money.

- Lot of money.

Well done. Is it... You know...

It's got to be risky, isn't it?

If you get stopped, you're f***ed.

I've never been stopped.

I've done it hundreds of times.

So you put it in the panels, do you?

The side panels.

We take the f***ing car apart

and we stuff it everywhere we can get it.

F***ing hell, man.

- But you know what, it pays for all this.

- I know, man! Jesus!

- Yeah, man. F***ing hell.

- Beautiful.

- Graham? Gonna have a look upstairs.

- Yeah, yeah, whatever.

All right?

- What's that?

- Go.

- Sorry.

- No, stay.

Go, an ancient Japanese game.

Wanna play?

- Yeah.

- Here, roll me a joint.

We take it in turns placing stones

on the board. Black goes first.

Right. Erm... I put it anywhere, right?

- As long as it's on an intersection.

- OK.

There.

Now, I play here.

- Er... No, thanks.

- It's a great game to play stoned.

- I had to give it up.

- Why?

I'm a teacher.

And what about sex?

I'm married.

You see, in the game of Go,

when a stone has no free space next to it,

it is captured and taken off the board.

Bit like life, really.

You don't look like a teacher.

What do I look like, then?

Like a drug smuggler.

Hmm.

- Hello.

- IIze, it's Mandy. Is Howard there, pIease?

Uh... Mandy. Uhh...

He...He's sleeping.

Graham's disappeared, OK?

I think he's been busted.

Mandy? It's Howard.

- Where is he?

- In Germany. Can you go there?

I can't. I mean...

You're the only straight person

Graham knows. Please.

I've never been out of the country...

I haven't got a passport.

Look, I...I'll call you back, all right?

- I can't go.

- Howard...

What?

I've fallen in love with someone else.

Thank you.

Bitte.

I was just crossing the Swiss-German

border, like I'd done a hundred times before.

You know,

they always just waved me through.

This time, the German Nazis f***ing

pulled me over and took the car apart.

Found 100 pounds of Lebanese black

in the back seat and the panels.

- Probablyjust wanted to smoke it.

- What else would they f***ing do with it?

And we've got a second batch

in a warehouse in Wiesbaden.

It's in a Mercedes. Keys in the station.

I've never driven

on the wrong side of the road.

That's why you're perfect for it. You'll
