Wild Bill Page #3

and they're attending school in Newham,

so who's taking care of the boys?

Well, you know, they've had neighbours

looking in. You know.

Well, Jimmy's only 11.

He needs an adult looking after him.

They both do.

They look fine to me.

Bill, they're children.

No, Dean's like, he...

He's very grown up for his age.

Know what I mean?

I am going to have

to inform Child Services about this.

They need to look into it.

Right.

You do realise what this means, don't you?

Yeah. Yeah. They'll need looking after.

Kids don't do well in care, Bill.

You know that.

They're better off with their parents.

Don't stick it on me. I can't look after 'em.

Me pal's waiting for me in Scotland.

It's all organized.

Bill, you're their dad.

I don't really know 'em.

Hello, yeah, can you put me through

to John in Child Services, please.

(SIGHS)

The social are on their way round.

What have you said'?

Me PO was asking about your mum

and I said she ain't about, that's all.

So you grassed us up?

Look, I never grassed no one up.

Just sort of slipped out.

Oh, well, that's all right then.

You weren't going to get away with it forever.

We were doing fine until you showed up, Bill!

You're not going.

No. No, you're going to stay here

and you're gonna sort this out

and you're going to tell the social

you're looking after us.

Just stay till Mum gets back.

I told you she ain't coming back!

I don't think I can, son.

No?

Then I'm going to tell the Old Bill

that you're dealing.

Hmm. Don't be stupid.

I've got your coke.

Right, well, you better give me that back now.

No.

I'm gonna grass on you.

Just like you grassed on us.

And they will bang you up again, Bill.

I ain't going back to prison.

Yeah, and we ain't going into care.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

I'm serious. You owe us.

BILL:
As soon as I found out their mum

weren't about, I weren't going nowhere.

Know what I mean?

JOHN:
You need to start

telling us the truth, all right?

So we know what we're dealing with.

Now, your probation officer was under

the impression you were going away?

Look, I've had a think about it

and I've changed my mind. Is that all right?

Right, well, now that you are staying,

we're not going to instigate

an emergency response,

but we are gonna begin

an investigation under Section 47.

Look, I love my kids and I'm gonna be here.

What more do you want'?

A lot, actually.

Do you mind if I call you Bill?

Yeah, I do. Actually.

All right. We're going to need

to take a little look around.

Fill your boots.

So, you're not going up north, then?

Mr. Hayward, have you got a moment?

Yeah, I'll run a cloth over that.

Mr. Hayward, this is a clear case of neglect.
