A Long Way Down Page #2

swears too much, but...

Go on, Maureen, just say it.

I just, um...

Should she be alone?

Right.

Uh, Martin, you, uh,

you go that way.

- I'll go... I'll go this way.

- No, no, no. I can't do this...

What else are we gonna do?

Hey, what else are we gonna do?

And, Maureen, uh...

You take... You take the bathrooms.

The bathrooms. Bathrooms? OK, go.

I'm looking for a girl

called Jess. Jess?

I'm looking... I'm looking for

a girl called Jess. Jess?

- Hi. I'm looking for a...

- Hi.

- I'm looking for a...

- Hi.

I'm looking for a girl... Jess.

Good.

Great. Perfect.

17, 16,

15,14.

Nine, eight,

seven, six,

five, four,

three, two, one!

Happy New Year!

- Hi.

- Uh...

- You hiding, too, are you?

- Yeah.

I've... I've taken some pills.

It's all good.

- What are you hiding from?

- Oh, you know...

Humans. Humanity, life. You?

The nutter who's trying to kill me.

Your reason's better

than mine, then.

And where is this nutter?

- She's everywhere.

- Oh.

- Godlike, is she?

- I was just hoping I was having a bad pill.

Um, but she... She's not supposed to be

here and I'm pretty sure I've just seen her.

I'm pretty sure I've seen

you on breakfast TV.

So... Maybe I'm actually

having a good pill and...

You're Chas, aren't you?

- How do you know that?

- I'm here with the... nutter.

Chas! Chas, Chas, Chas!

Wait. Listen to me. Listen.

Let's just go and

find her together, eh?

I mean, what's the

worst that can happen?

Eh, she tried to kill me twice,

got me... Got me arrested once.

Mmm, I'm banned from three pubs,

two clubs and... And a cinema.

- OK.

- Just let me leave quietly.

- All right. OK.

- I've done nothing wrong.

Nothing wrong?

Taking her to bed! Nothing wrong?

Where is she? Where's Jess?

We need to find her.

- You need to talk to her.

- She won't talk.

She'll just chase me

with a bread knife.

Oh, tonight she was prepared to end her

life because of what you did to her.

- Maureen, don't.

- What?

Yeah, that's where we met her,

at the top of a tower block.

- Preparing to...

- What?

Hey! Hey, it's Jess. Come on.

- How's she doing?

- Ready?

- Hey, Jess.

- Do you know what she took?

I don't know. Drugs, alcohol.

You know, the usual.

- Are you her father? Next of kin?

- No, I'm not. No, no, no, I'm not.

- I need to know her name.

- I only, uh... She's called Jess.

- Sir, I need her full name.

- None of us knew her before tonight.

You need to wait here.

- She's got no identification on her, no nothing.

- Yeah, well,

she probably didn't want to

make identification easy.

She likes things,

you know, difficult.

Hmm, hospitals... Not a fan.

Good drugs, though.

Mmm!

You late for something?
