Downtime Page #2

No, no, you're saying

you're not important.

You're gonna kill yourself.

You're gonna jump?

You're saying I can die cos

I'm not as important as you?

Are you gonna jump?

Are you gonna jump?

Chrissy, are you gonna jump?

Or are you gonna come on in?

Are you gonna come on home?

Go on, Jake. Go on!

Come on, Jake.

There we go. Come on, Jake.

Good boy.

Come here, pet.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Help, please!

Rob?

Rob?

Watson, Jones, go now!

- Jesus!

- No!

All right, Rob.

Jesus!

No.

Come on, that's it.

I have now made it up

to Miss Long's flat

where I'm speaking to a neighbour,

Jan Mulcahy.

Mrs Mulcahy, I understand you

and Ms Long are friends.

Yes, we are.

- Kevin!

- Your mam.

WAVE, Women Against Victimization.

What' we've seen tonight is not surprising...

there's only 10 families left

in this tower block.

And most of those are too scared

to leave their flats.

There's robberies every day.

And most of the crime is committed

by 2 families and the kids they recruit.

Those people are the Graingers...

and then down here we have the Hursts...

their sons Jacko and Davy.

Door, you little bastard!

What the f*** was mam playing at?

She's dead now, you know!

Jacko's gonna f***ing kill her!

So, Janet, what you are saying is

that the poverty in society

is forcing the under class to react

with drastic measures.

Well, no, that's not quite

what I'm saying.

Jimmy! Jimmy! Jimmy!

I dreamt about her last night.

No, really?

Well go and see her later on.

What? That's unethical.

- Ethics? Bollocks!

- Come on, Michael.

When was the last time you

and I asked someone out?

Forecast says rain later on.

So why don't you pack up now

and go and see her?

I don't mind a bit of rain.

Well I'm off if it rains again.

Listen, Mike, if it hadn't have

rained yesterday...

I think you'd have had 2 more dead

to add to your statistics.

She was gonna go!

It's just, it's just when it rains

you think...

"My perm's gone, I need a bath,

I think I'll kill myself tomorrow.

I survive because I do not struggle

against the water's superior power."

I think the general gist of that is...

when it rains wise men pack up

and go home.

Go and ask her for a date.

Take a little gift.

And then meet me in the Pike

and Reel for a celebration.

I bet you have a great time.

F*** off!

- I haven't said anything yet.

- I said f*** off, copper!

Chrissy, I'm not the police.

I've not been with the force

for 3 years now.

Then who the f*** are yer?

Well, I occasionally work for them nowadays.

Sort of psychological and cultural consultant.

- I help in hostage situations...

- Loony situations!

- No, well, I mean...
