She's a woman unlike any other: Unruly Irish eyes, Latin lips... her name is Beatrice, but on the streets they call her B. Monkey. She's about to take him on an outrageous, dangerous and sexy ride through the wild side of London.

Mr Furnace!

Are you going to contact

Social Services or am I?

I will!

But it's going to

be an unholy mess.

She's cornered.

The only thing she can do is

try and hang the whole thing on you.

I just don't know what

your chances are.

What do you think they are Cherry?

Well my brother's got this nice

little school in Yorkshire.

I'll give you a great reference.

If she wins you never teach again.

Don't care.

You were having bad dreams.

Did I wake you?

Yeah!

I dreamt I killed a woman.

Was it me?

No it wasn't you.

Did you f*** her?

F*** her?

No Bea I killed her.

Good!

If you dream of

f***ing another woman

I'll kill you.

Thanks darling.

What is it? Mrs. Sturge?

I could lose my job.

No you're not.

Look if she beats her child

she's a coward. She's not strong.

Alan

everything's going to be

alright. I promise you.

Isn't that supposed to be my line?

Chinese Burn

I need your help.

Yeah?

Yeah!

Why me? Why not your teacher?

Because I need you.

Yeah?

Yeah.

If I do are you going to

help me with Frank's Job?

No.

It's a simple job.

In and out. It's all over.

What kind of job?

The usual.

No crazy sh*t?

Cross my heart and hope to die.

It's the last time Bruno.

If you say so Bea.

You seen Paul?

No.

Well tell him he's in big

f***ing trouble with Frank.

Serves him f***ing right.

Where to?

Who are you?

Mrs. Sturge, please.

What do you want?

We're from Social Services.

Alan wait!

She's dropped the charges!

Bea?

what did you do Bea?

Beatrice, what did you do?

I went for a visit. We had a nice chat

and a nice cup of tea and...

Did you hurt her?

This wine is wonderful, it comes from

the north of Italy, it's called "Valone".

It's wonderful.

It's from Verona.

Sod the wine!

Don't f***ing shout at me!

What did you do Bea?

Walk on her back give her a little

slap like they did Paul?

Look you got your job back

didn't you?

I don't want my f***ing job back.

Not like that.

Well somebody had to

speak her language

That's not language Bea

that's sheer pig ignorance.

Yeah okay I'm a pig.

I'm not clever enough

to lose my job. I'm not

clever enough to have

a little kid be beaten

up again and again.

I was perfectly capable of dealing

with this my own way.

Yeah but you didn't and I did

and you got your job back

and the kid isn't coming to

school with bruises no more

Damn you!

I did it for you you f***ing f***!

I don't think so Beatrice,

I think you did it for yourself.

For the rush!

Beatrice!

I'm Going Round in Circles

Oh Bea sweetheart if youre going out,

bring me a sandwich.

Salami ciabatta.

OK, but I thought you

were a vegetarian.

I've been living a lie.

Sausage roll.
