Yeah, well...

THEY LAUGH

Yeah well...good living.

MUSIC PLAYS

Listen, oi, remember that time in Belize?

THEY LAUGH

Where we sailed was full of crocodiles.

They were caiman.

You and Danny fell in and he had to pull you out, didn't he?

What did...what was he...what did he say to ya?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

"You're better at getting in trouble than you are out of it!"

DISTANT CHEERS

THEY LAUGH

Whatever happened to Danny?

Eh?

Whatever happened to Danny anyway?

HE LAUGHS

HE SCREAMS

Nice one, Tezza! Here y'are, mate, get hold of that.

Ready?

CHEERING AND WHOOPING

MUSIC THUMPS

-Roostaz!

-You ready?

-Thanks, mate.

How much is it to get in, mate?

Don't worry about that. I got this, man.

Look, don't waste your money, I'm done.

Hello, ladies. Come and give me a squeeze, come on.

-Oh, my word!

-Well, you crack on. Have a good night.

Hey, have you seen this? He's going haywire there!

-He's going nowhere. Get here!

-See you later.

Come on! Are you hearing this? White flag!

Disgraceful conduct, Captain.

Oh. Farren Road, please.

All right, lads?

Yeah, not bad.

Good night so far?

It's just got better.

Where have you just come from, then?

Camp Bastion, mate.

There you go!

Cheers, sweetheart. One for yourself and all, yeah?

Ey mate, any chance we can swap jobs?

No chance!

No? Aaw!

So what was it like over there then?

It wasn't too bad. If you like dust, camels, and being blown up.

Hey! What are you talking for? You're missing out here!

You wouldn't mind that sharpening your pencil, would you?

-Champagne?

-Please.

Off, off, off, off! Off, off, off, off! Off, off!

Come on, girl!

-Evening, Mr Afridi.

-Lester.

Yes! Come on! Eh!

Have a word, will you?

DRUNKEN SHOUTS

Yes, come on!

CHEERING AND WHOOPING

Get it off!

By all means, gentleman, enjoy, just keep it down.

Yeah!

Howard? Howard?

Are you asleep, mate?

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

You all right, gorgeous?

I'm fine, thanks, Freddie.

Nice show this evening. Very nice indeed.

Jade, this is Mr Cummins.

He's a good friend of mine and he's in town overnight.

Pleased to meet you.

Good evening.

There you go. See. Jade'll look after you, won't you, love?

I won't be a minute.

Just let her get ready and she's all yours.

Lester. Get them a cab.

Yes, should be in for half past, traffic allowing. Thank you.

Sorry, Karen. Bye.

Morning.

You didn't have to get up.

I haven't.

HE CHUCKLES

Good night?

Yeah, think so.

Sorry, I...just didn't fancy the club.

Yeah well, it got messy in there.

I can imagine.

Sure I saw someone though.

Mm?

Jade. You remember Jade?

Jade. Jade, my Jade.

I was with her for about a year-and-a-half. Jade Falkner.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Right, this afternoon.

Yeah.

That's if you can make it.

No bother!

Morning!

Morning.

-HE CHUCKLES

-You made it then?

-Yeah. Just about.

-How did it go?

Yeah, yeah. It was nice to see everybody, I suppose.

-Yeah?

-It was bit of a nightmare, to be honest.

How come?

Well, I just don't think I'm up to it any more, I guess.

What, the booze?

Well, what's the point in going to a pub where the music's so loud,

you can't even speak to each other?

Ah well, comes to us all, mate. Old age.

How would you know?

I don't. I was just being nice!

TV NEWSREADER: 'In other news, nine people have been killed,

'two of them children, and at least 18 injured by a roadside bomb

'in a crowded market place in Lashkar... '

TURNS TV OFF

We're shut.

Yeah, I was wondering if you could do me a favour, mate.

Like what?

I was....I was here last night. I saw someone.

Join the queue, mate.

Look, if you could...just give her that for me then, please?

What's that?

Just ask her to give us a call, like.

Yeah, all right.

It's up to her isn't it, really?

No, it's up to me.

You get what you pay for. Like anyone else.

You still here? G!

Yeah.

So, what you been up to?

I went back to that club.

That good, was it?

No. I had to go and see Jade, didn't I?

What was she doing there, anyway? Night out with the girls?

HE SIGHS

Working.

Working? What as?

KNOCK ON DOOR

Sorry to interrupt, but Zara needs a word.

She's in a bit of a tizz.

-Won't be a second.

-Yeah.

Hello, it's me, Howard. What's the problem?

I've only got you covered...I've only got you covered till tonight.

Zara!

We're just going to have to work it out with them.

DOOR OPENS

Howard? Sorry, mate, where's Howard?

He's...just on the other phone.

Erm, I hope you don't mind me asking...?

-What's that?

-What were you doing on the computer?

-Nothing, I wasn't doing anything

-I saw you.

What's up?

-He was on your computer.

-Yeah, for like, two seconds.

-That's not the point.

-All right, keep your hair on.

Look, I've gotta go, yeah?

Gareth!

Are you sure?

-He was sat right there at your desk.

-Well, I'm sure there's a reason.

What, for looking at patient records?

Come on, you don't know he was doing that.

It doesn't matter though, does it? He might've been, that's the point.

But what for?

To be fair, if the boot was on the other foot.

-And it was one of our guests...

-All right.

-You'd be playing merry hell.

-You know you would.

-I only left him for a few seconds.

-So what was he after?

I think you need to ask him.

OK, I will. Don't worry.

Who is it?

It's..it's the post.

Well, just leave it there, will you?

It's...it's...it's got to be signed for.

# Cold

# Cold water

# Surrounds me now... #

I knew you'd be round here. As soon as I saw you.

Yeah, well...

So how long have you been back?

About three weeks.

How long for?

No, that's me done, finished.

You're lucky.

Why's that?

Well, you're still alive, aren't you? Still in one piece?

More or less.

There's plenty who aren't.

So how've you been, then?

Yeah, all right.

Didn't expect to see you in there.

No?

I mean, you can do what you want, I just...

Yeah, I know I can.

I just want to make sure you're OK, yeah?

Why wouldn't I be?

Sorry.

What for?

Just leaving you like that. I could've...

Look, it's not your fault you had to go back.

Yeah, I could've kept in touch though, right?

Look! Yeah, I know. So let's just forget it. OK?

Yeah.

So what are you going to do now?

Find a place to live, I suppose.

What, round here?

Yeah. Why not?

Just...thought it was the last place you'd want to come back to.

Wasn't all bad, was it? I mean, we had some good times.

-Look, it's not like I didn't think about you...

-Yeah, well, me too.

I just kind of figured when...when we both,

sort of, sort ourselves out, we could...

Yeah, well we haven't though, have we?

Yeah, I mean...I still want to make it up to you.

There's nothing to make up for.

Of course there is.

No, look, just stop, will you?

You can't just turn up out of the blue and expect it all to be fine.

-I'm not.

-I've got my own life now.

HE SCOFFS

Jade. You call this a life?

Oh, don't you dare!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Look, it was nice to see you though, yeah?

Yeah.

CAR HORN BEEPS

Oh, for...! Look, just...just stay there and keep out of the way.

How's my favourite girl, then?

Good.

Behave himself, did he?

Not too bad.

That's my girl.

This is Tulisa. She's starting tonight.

All right?

Jade'll look after you, won't you, love?

Of course.

Right well, I better go and get ready.

Oh, that it then?

Of course not.

Treat yourself.

Thanks, Freddie.

Right, you better go.

Was that the guy from the club?

Come on.

You're scared of him, aren't you?

No, why should I be?

-Nah. I'm not having that.

-Having what?

You. In that place.

It's got nothing to do with you!

Selling yourself to those perverts. Like you're a piece of meat.

Well, what else have I got to sell, eh? Oh, God!

Anyway, who are you to talk?

About what?

Well, you sell yourself, don't you? To the army. Like a piece of meat?

What's all that about?

Oh, God, do you really...?

Tell me!

Get out! Just get out!

HE GROANS

Yeah.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

How's it going?

Yeah, all right.

What were you doing on my computer?

Nothing.

Gareth...

-I needed to find Jade.

-Jade?

-Her address, that's all.

You can't go poking around on a surgery's computer.

It was 30 seconds, Howard.

Those files are confidential, you just can't do it.

Sure.

SHE SIGHS

Can't you just knock or something?

I've seen it all before, love. What are you so jumpy about, anyway?

I don't know, I'm just not feeling right.

Why's that, then? Guilty conscience?

Don't worry, I won't grass you up.

About what?

Ol' Andy McNab coming round after you.

Lester, I'm telling you. I don't even know the bloke any more.

-Oh, yeah?

-Seriously.

So if he comes round again, you won't mind

if I kick his teeth down his throat?

PHONE RINGS

Yeah. How many does he want?

Oi. I'll catch you later, yeah?

Where are you off to?

What's it matter?

Why don't you have some of this?

No, you're all right.

Where you going?

-Where do you think?

-What for?

Cos I've gotta get her out of there. It isn't safe.

You know what your problem is?

There's only so much beer you can drink. You're getting bored.

It happened to me when I first left.

Scratching around for some sort of mission or whatever.

But it'll end in tears. Because this is Letherbridge.

Not Afghanistan.

-Yeah. Exactly what it is. A mission.

-I'm telling you.

And I'm going to need all the help I can get, right?

Sorry. I'm not interested.

Yeah well, bound to change, aren't you?

And why's that, then?

Because I'm not riding round saving every waif and stray I stumble upon?

No, because the Howard I knew would've took risks.

Stuck his neck out and everything.

"Anything you need," you said. "Anything at all".

LOUD DANCE MUSIC

Nice place.

-That Jade then, is it?

-Yeah.

CHEERING AND WHOOPING

-Come on. Ease springs, will you?

-It's fine.

We don't want any ructions.

No worries.

Two beers, please.

Talk about a dump.

You all right?

You told me to come back. So...here I am.

What, and brought your dad?

Hi.

There's no need for that, is there?

You. Enjoy it.

You. You just behave yourself, all right?

And what if I don't?

Take it easy, will you?

No, what if I don't?

WOMAN GROANS

Darling! Why don't you come home with me?

-SHE MOANS

-Get off...get off me!

Right! Oi! Get off! Get, get get!

Sit!

Get him out of here!

What's wrong with you? Are you putting your hands on her?

Get off me!

Are you OK?

Don't touch me!

Come on. Come on. It's all right.

I'm Howard, I'm a good friend of Gareth's.

Let's get you out of here, shall we? Come on.

SHE MOANS IN PAIN

Take a seat. Let's just sit down, deep breaths.

Who are you, anyway?

Where does it hurt? Is it your stomach?

It's just cramp, that's all.

-What's going on?

-Oh, get him out of here, will you?

-What's wrong with her?

-Get him out!

-Jade?

-I'm pregnant, all right?

-What?!

Are you serious?

What are you doing in here?

-Look, I just want to talk to her, yeah?

-Come on.

-Get off me, man!

-Take it easy, will you!

Oh, come on, this is stupid. Come on.

Get the door, will you?

Where do you think you're taking her?

To a doctor's, if that's all right with you?

Door!

Get off, will you? All right, you've had your fun.

Get off me.

GRUNTING AND GASPING

Gareth! Leave him alone.

Gareth, let him go.

Gareth, leave him alone.

DOG BARKS

Come on.

Jade, I'll see you later!

Come on. Come on.

Get in. In!

Excuse me, can I borrow you for a second?

She's been standing...please? Great!

Is someone coming in or what? Actually going to help us?

Last year. Got to about three, four months.

With Gareth?

But we lost it.

Is someone coming or what?

-Sorry.

-Excuse me!

We were talking about getting married.

She's been sitting there for the last 20 minutes

and not one person here...yeah...bet you will.

As soon as he'd finished his last tour.

About now, I suppose.

And what happened?

It just wasn't the same after that.

In what way?

Just...the way he looked at me. His eyes.

It's like they were...dead.

This young lady's been sitting here for 20 minutes...

Made me feel scared all the time.

Someone's always coming, where are they?

I was glad he went back in the end.

Oh, this is so stupid. Do you know that?

-Will someone come and help us?

-All right, all right.

Thank you. Can you do something, please?

-She's been sitting here for 20 minutes.

-Come on.

She'll have the baby before you know it.

Let's give them some room, shall we? Come on.

SHE MOANS

Ah!

Look, what's going to happen?

They'll probably take a scan. And take it from there.

Look, why don't we leave them to it? We'll come back in the morning.

-Nah. I'm staying.

-Well, what good are you going to do here?

Look, I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying right here.

All right, well, you do that. But keep calm for Jade's sake, OK?

-Yeah, I will.

-OK?

-Yes, I will. Yes! Captain Bellamy, I will!

LOUD ENGINE NOISE

HOWARD: 'What happened to Danny anyway?'

JADE: 'I've got my own life now.'

'This is not Afghanistan.'

GUNFIRE

HE SIGHS

-Why didn't you tell me they were gangsters?

-What?

-How much do you owe?

-Probably a couple of grand by now.

Where does that leave Jade?

In the crossfire herself, by the sounds of it.

-How do you even know she wants a knight in shining armour?

-I've got to do something, haven't I?

And you really think that'll be the end of it?

You're going to end up dead, do you know that?
