But you know, he was

a loose cannon.

- He... f***ing hookers.

- Yeah,

I mean, f*** man.

How does that look?

And I'm trying to raise finance.

And now, I mean, f***.

You know, I could

do with your help.

Anything.

I need to find out what happened

for business,

but more importantly

for his family. All right?

If you could just like, keep me in

the loop, man. I'd appreciate it.

Of course.

You know, it's just like

the old days, innit?

Churchill Massive, right?

I'm not sure if you're

allowed to do that

once you got a water feature.

- See you, man.

- See you.

You know, listen,

You got a fag?

Still f***ing

bumming cigarettes.

Some things never change, innit?

Ah no, keep it.

It's all right.

I pretend I don't smoke and

she pretends she don't know.

Right. The key to a

successful marriage, yeah?

It really is, don't joke.

Take care, man.

Hey, um...

I... I saw your flowers today.

They were nice.

Yeah.

You went to the grave, yeah?

Yeah, it's the anniversary, so.

It's another life innit, really.

Hey, you need to let it go, yeah?

Okay?

- Um, be in touch

- Okay. Much love, man.

All right, Lovely.

What are you doing here?

I come for a ride, Tommy man.

I got to get the car back.

Can we go inside?

It's freezing.

Yeah, sorry.

Yeah, yeah, sure.

"Quite dead. As dead

as a doornail."

- Evening, Mr. Akhtar.

- Hello, Hafiz.

Your friend tells

me you're studying

"A Christmas Carol", Tommy boy.

You never told me.

"I wear the chain

I forged in life."

"I made it link by link,

yard by yard."

Episodic allegory.

Shell, come on.

We should go, yeah?

I got to get the car back.

I don't wanna go. I'm

talking to Mr. Akhtar.

Tommy will walk me.

Won't you?

What can I get you, sir?

Hello mate, have you

got Wild Turkey?

Yes, we do.

- Can I get a double, please. No ice.

- Yeah, sure.

Alex, can we check

these people to a table?

Follow Alex, I'll be

right back. Thank you.

Tommy.

- You said I should come by.

- Yeah.

So, I'm buying you a drink.

I'm working. I'm not able...

Right, yeah. Sorry.

Um...

Another time?

Another time.

Tomorrow?

Yeah.

I'm working till midnight.

Maybe we could have a nightcap.

- Tomorrow's good.

- Okay.

Okay.

You don't talk much.

Sorry.

No, it's nice.

I just want someone to listen.

You know?

Yeah.

You better leave me here.

Mum doesn't like seeing

me with strange boys.

Am I a strange boy?

A little bit.

I don't give a f*** who you are,

it's my crime scene.

We'll take it from here, officer.

Yeah, well f*** you very much.

We've got it. Thanks.

- Hello?

- You all right, Cal?

Tommy. Where are you?

33p

Yeah, I'm across the canal.
