You know, have a...

have a kid.

A daughter, a beautiful baby girl.

I'd love that.

A chance to be a good dad.

You know, just like my dad was with me.

We pay them to clean the grave.

It's all right, Mum. We'll get it clean.

That's better.

What?

I've left my scarf with your dad.

You're joking.

- Look, I'll go and get it.

- You sure?

Yeah, I'll meet you back by the gate.

I won't be long.

- What's wrong?

- Hm?

You've hardly spoke since

you got me scarf. You all right?

- You sure?

- Yeah. No, I'm all right.

Listen to me, Jamie.

You are a beautiful young man.

Beautiful, kind and generous.

This has never been your problem.

You know that.

It's just the world, Mum...

I dunno, it just don't make sense to me.

You know, it's like I open up the window

and all this madness flies in.

And it's like I've never really known

how to live in it.

You do what we all do, Jamie.

We love.

And allow ourselves to be loved.

You need a family of your own.

Like your brother.

Oh, Jamie...

I know what you are!

I know what you are!

What do you want from me?!

Oh, Jamie, please...

Jamie!

- Jamie!

- Mum, no!

- Jamie!

- Mum! No, please!

- Let go of me! Let go of me! Mum!

- Jamie! Please!

No!

No! No!

No!

Please! No!

Jamie... You're getting closer, old son.

Every time I close my eyes...

he's coming for me.

It's the drugs.

Can you stand up? 'Cos we can get

out of here, I can take you home.

I don't want to go home.

But Mum's killers, Ray. Mum's killers.

The police have got your statement.

The police won't do f*** all.

Come on, let's get you up.

The police don't know what this is, right?

They don't know what they're looking for.

I was there, mate.

I was there. I saw what did this.

I saw what did this.

I saw what killed Mum.

I know what did this.

- Dad?

- I know what did this.

Jamie, you're in shock.

You need some rest.

I'm gonna find 'em,

I'm gonna f***ing kill 'em!

We should think about finding you

somewhere else to live.

- The memories of this place.

- The memories of this place are fine.

All right? It's everything else

that's a f***ing mess.

Tea...

Just get off my stuff, Lee, all right?

Just don't touch anything.

Why's everyone keep picking on me?

I've lost her too, you know!

I've lost her too...

I'll tell you, mate.

She was f***ing hot!

- F***ing hot!

- Keep the bloody noise down!

F*** off, you old bastard!

Show some respect!

F*** off!

I'm not afraid of you!

Look at all Mum's jewellery.

It's her mum's stuff and her mum's mum's.

Must be worth a small fortune.

This is the world that we live in!

Makes me f***ing mad, right!

They take innocent people,

torture them and then they film it. Why?

Philip Ridley

Philip Ridley (born 1964 in East London) is an English storyteller working in a wide range of artistic media. In the visual arts he has been cited as a contemporary to the 'Young British Artists', and had his artwork exhibited internationally.As a novelist he has created fiction for both children and adults, and has had particular success and recognition as a children's author.In the field of cinema he is perhaps best known for his award-winning screenplay for the 1990 film The Krays (1990), a biopic about the Kray twins which was directed by Peter Medak. As a film-maker in his own right he is recognised for creating a loose trilogy of horror films; The Reflecting Skin (1990), The Passion of Darkly Noon (1995) and Heartless (2009) for which he has acquired a cult following.As a playwright he has been cited as a pioneer of 'In-yer-face theatre', with his debut play The Pitchfork Disney (1991) considered by many to be a seminal work in the development of the style, with one critic even dubbing it "the key play" of the 1990s. A great number of his plays for adults have been perceived as controversial, being met with both condemnation and high acclaim upon their initial reception. As a writer for the stage he is also recognised for creating an ongoing series of plays for young people (The Storyteller Sequence) and has written theatrical works for children and family audiences.As a songwriter he has created songs for his cinematic and theatrical works, frequently collaborating with composer Nick Bicât. He and Bicât have also formed a music group called Dreamskin Cradle with singer Mary Leay. Ridley has also written songs for composer Anna Meredith, particularly operatic work.Ridley is also a poet, photographer, and performance artist and has written drama for radio.Although Ridley creates stories through a wide range of media he dislikes his work being categorised by the medium in which it is told, often referring to them belonging to each other as "different peaks of the same mountain." more…
