Mr. Nice Page #3

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.

sail through, they don't know your face.

Look, I've done it too many f***ing times.

Now, you get it back to London

and you make a ton of money.

How much?

Every time I crossed the border,

l'd get a religious flash

and an asexuaI orgasm.

Passeport.

C'est bon, merci.

Judy.

Judy!

Oh, sh*t!

Sorry.

Sorry, sorry. Sorry.

Come down.

- It's the middle of the night.

- What?

- It's the middle of the night.

- I know. Bring some fags.

- I have a friend over.

- Come on, please, Judy.

I got something amazing to show you.

OK...

Trouble is, I need somewhere to stash it.

Right.

Get the bags out.

Keep an eye out, yeah, for people?

I got it.

He's up there, is he? Don't suppose

he'd mind if I stayed the night, would he?

Am I a criminal now?

When you break a law that's wrong,

that can't be a crime.

Not in the moral sense.

Why is it against the law?

Why make something illegal that expands

your consciousness, makes you think?

Makes you wanna f***.

What the f***...

You're Iazy, you just stay in bed

You're Iazy, just stay in bed

You don't want no money,

you don't want no bread

lf you're drowning,

you don't cIutch no straw, no, no

If you're drowning...

- Yes?

- My name is Howard Marks.

I'm a friend of Graham Plinston's.

You don't wanna live,

don't wanna cry no more, no more

Hello, I'm Howard Marks.

You must be...Mr Durrani?

Take a step forward.

Hands to the side.

- Howard what?

- Marks. Howard Marks.

Stay there. One second.

Chap here says, er, he's Howard Marks.

Bring him in.

- Come in.

- Thank you.

My Name's Malik. This is Mr Durrani.

- Mr Durrani. Hello.

- Good afternoon.

- Mohammed Durrani.

- Nice to meet you.

- Take a seat.

- Thank you.

Would you like a drink?

Yes, please. I'll have a... I'll have a whisky.

Thank you.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

You saw Plinston?

I did. I...I...

So, I got a call from him and

I drove out to see him in Germany. Erm...

- Did he talk?

- No, he won't squeal.

So he very kindly asked me to run

a little errand on your behalf. And, erm...

I think you'll be pleased.

Very impressive!

Ah, well, I can see

you've been, er, very efficient.

Well, I wish I had more to sell, you know.

I got rid of it all in a day, so...yeah.

- How much do you charge per pound?

- 40 quid.

Forty?

- That's very good. Have you counted it?

- Yeah, it's all there, boys. It's all there.

How much is it?

In the papers

they call people who sell drugs pushers,

like you've got to try really hard

to get rid of it.

- Doesn't really work like that, does it?

- No, it doesn't.

- Well...

- I tell you, Howard,

I can get any amount of merchandise

up into the air from Karachi Airport.
