'O'Shea.

'Mean anything?'

No.

So it's nothing to do

with money? No.

And nothing to do

with being on telly?

It's nothing to do with that. It's

just some girls are into footie.

Bollocks. Language.

So it's footie, yeah? Yeah.

So they play footie, so girls who are into

footie are gonna be attracted to 'em? Yeah.

That's your argument, yeah?

Yeah.

I play footie. So?

So how comes they're

not throwing themselves all over me?

Have you looked in the mirror

lately? Has Wayne Rooney?

I'm going to get a bird like his, am I, cos she's

into football and I play for the Dog and Duck?

They were childhood sweethearts.

Oh, bollocks! I won't tell you again!

It's about being famous and having

a load of dosh. Football gives you both.

It's nothing to do with

football itself.

That's just a means to an end.

It could be anything like that.

Singing, dancing, boxing, anything

that brings a bit of fame and fortune.

And of course they're gonna say

they're into it...

No bird's going to say, "I can't

stand football but I love the dosh."

Patrick O'Shea?

Johnjo O'Shea. Is Patrick in?

Who is it, Johnjo?

Yeah. We'll come in then, OK?

Who is it?

Patrick O'Shea?

Yeah? We're arresting you

on suspicion of the murder of

Thomas Ward. What?

You do not have to say anything.

However, if you do not mention

something you later rely on in

court... This is a joke, isn't it?

..it could harm your defence.

Anything you do say

may be used in evidence against you.

Do you understand?

It's a joke, right?

Do you understand? No!

I think you do but I'll say it

again. No, no... And sorry about

this, but it's murder, so...

If you do not mention something you

later rely on in court it could harm

your defence.

Is this the boy last night? Yes. But

he was with his girl! In that case

he's got nothing to worry about.

I haven't done anything! You've got

the wrong boy, you've made a mistake!

He hasn't done anything wrong!

Where are they taking him?

They're arresting him! Patrick!

Patrick! Patrick! Patrick, what's

happening?! Dad, what's going on?

I don't know, did he say anything to

you? He hasn't said anything to me.

Patrick, call us, all right? We can

get in there. Tell us where you are.

Patrick, what's happening! Did

he tell you anything? No, nothing.

Sh*t. I can't believe it.

NO!!!!!!

No! No...

No!!!

No!!

They're letting you go...?

Police bail.

Where's Johnjo?

He's in the car.

We're on double yellows.

What's going on? I'll tell you

when we get home.

Move. Now.

What's going on?

I've told you. When we get home.

Does it involve Johnjo? Yeah.

What do you think it is?

Sit down.

You're scaring me now, Patrick.

You don't know

the half of it, Mam.
