get you there, that's why you

have to get me there? Is that it?

It's something like that.

No, you drive, you do your job.

Do you mind? I don't want you

getting in trouble.

I mean, Jesus,

I'm in trouble, I can't have you in

trouble, then we'll never get back.

HORN BLARES:

So that last one you did, Alistair,

the Kazakhs, sorry, no,

the Cossacks...

Kosovans. Kosovans.Aye, Albanian and Serb they are.

Aye, that's the one!That worked out quite nicely.

So,

did they show it in the end then?

They did, about six months ago now.

I was looking out for it.Actually, I didn't see it myself.

I was in South Africa at the time.

'Swanning around the world

talking about your feelings.

'A ticket to paradise.'

For killing a man! I mean, where

would he have been without me?

making egg cartons

like the rest of us. Aye, not him!

He can make a living telling

the Pope and the Queen,

the Dalai f***ing Lama

how it feels to kill a man.

How it feels, the suffering I have,

the burden I carry.

'Why should you get women in pastel

shades and rosy perfumes

'giving you tea and buns and wine

from f***ing Chile, just so's

you can tell them how it feels

'to be putting three bullets into my

brother's head? 12 years for armed

robbery, membership and murder.'

F***! Jesus Christ!

Sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

You made me jump!What do you think it does to me?

I'm one f*** of a lot closer to me

than you are!

So is this another one of your

counselling things, Alistair?

No. Well, kind of.

It's a programme

about reconciliation.

My own, in fact. It's my own.

I'm to meet the brother

of the man I killed.

Is that where we're going now? Aye.

Have you not met him yet? No.

No, not since the day.

Well, did you ask for this?

That was never

going to be my call, Ray.

I don't have the right

to ask anything from him.

So did he call you or...?

No, the programme people,

they approached him.

Then me.

I said I'd be I'd be willing t-to,

you know.

If it's a meeting he wants I'd be

willing t-t-to do it, to see him.

I'd do anything to...

You know, to...

Did you do time for it, Alistair?Aye.

There was no release date

but I did 12 years.

You could have stopped him!

Why didn't you stop him?!

You could have stopped him!

Can you stop the car?

Can I get you anything?

You want some water?

'He was only a wee boy at the time,

you know.'

And is it just the brother

you're meeting?

Aye.

Aye...

It's...

His father died eight months later.

A heart attack.

A broken heart, the family said.

His brother, Daniel,

it was an overdose with him.

After that, his mother, she died.

It's what happens.

It's often what happens.

To the family, you know.

It's the part people
