Bully Moving On

Hey!

Come here.

Enjoy your holiday, did ya?

No.

And you know why?

Because you let that ruin it for you.

Now, if he ever... Look at me.

If he ever does anything like that to you again,

you hit him,

d'you hear me?

Right.

# Moving on!

# Moving on! #

I'll be here for a week.

I'm still on holiday, aren't I?

-Do you want one?

-I've got too much to do.

What?

I told you to put this in a carrier bag. It's all over your clothes.

-It'll wash out.

-Never again.

-It wasn't that bad, was it?

-Not for you maybe.

It's oil, Colin. It doesn't come out.

I thought you got on with her?

I do.

I feel sorry for her, having to put up with that moody brat and his arrogant pig of a dad.

Look at that!

It's ruined.

I mean, what was he like, sending that wine back saying it was corked?

-And he's a letch.

-Hey, Bird man of Alcatraz, empty your case, your mam wants to put a wash on.

-I only went for the company.

-Oh, thank you very much.

Last year you spent the fortnight with your head buried in a book.

I was lucky if I got two words out of you.

What do mean? I talk to you. I'll talk to you now.

Un zumo, por favor?

You speak English?

Yo hablo espanol.

Gracias.

Gracias!

She wants me.

Hello.

-Is that that German bird?

-Yeah!

Man, I took it when she wasn't looking.

-Does Sonia know you've got that?

-What do you think?

She doesn't even know how to send a text. I've got it hidden in a folder.

You'd be better off deleting it, you know.

Nah!

You know, it would have been better if it had just been us. The holiday.

The girls got on.

Yeah, well, it wasn't really Sonia's cup of tea.

She hates flying for a start.

Andrew didn't seem himself did he? He's a bit quiet like.

Yeah, well, he's not really the physical type, Andrew.

I'm hoping that'll change.

Nice to see you're back.

Yeah, and me front's not bad either!

And if you're really lucky I might just show you my white bits.

-Hey, you, you're married.

-She knows.

She doesn't care.

How long's this been going on?

-Couple of weeks.

-You wanna be careful!

Yeah, well, you want to learn to relax a little bit.

If an opportunity like that turns up, then why not?

Cos I've got a family. Like you.

Look, the way I see it is, it's in our genes.

There is no point fighting it.

How many times have you seen a bird and thought, "Man, what I would do to that?"

Go on, tell me, once, twice, ten times a day?

Try fifty.

Well, I tell you what,

I know nothing about this, OK?

All right.

Look, she's just some bird, a bit on the side, she's nothing compared to my Sonia. You know that.

It was very funny.

-Fancy a cup of tea?

-Love one!

Oh, his last pair.

I can throw the other ones away now.

They're so far up his leg you'd think his budgie had died.

BELL RINGS

-Mascherano!

-Mascherano! I've been looking for him for ages!

-I know you have, well it's here, boys!

-All right, and here he is, Fernando Torres!

That's a fake.

Growing fast, eh?

I can't believe he's going to secondary next year.

I hope he doesn't get picked on cos of his size.

-No, he'll be all right.

-You got it from that market on holiday!

-What?

-Show it us.

-No!

Andrew, it's fake come on! Show it us!

Yeah, that's one thing you can say about Andrew, he doesn't go looking for trouble.

-Give it us, Andrew! It's a fake!

-No it isn't! Get off me, Ryan!

WHISTLE BLOWS

I told ya, I haven't done anything.

He wouldn't have just hit you for nothing.

'You can speak Spanish.

-'Gordo Chico.

-What does it mean?

'It's "fat boy" in Spanish,

-'they're calling you fat.'

-What are you doing, son?

These are your holiday snaps.

I had a word with Andrew about... You know. It was a one off.

Won't happen again.

I won't need a lift back later.

I've told Sonia I'm going out for a drink with a couple of the lads.

Who?

Oh, you're joking, aren't you? What am I supposed to say?

You don't have to say anything. What's the matter with you?

Jean will wanna know why I'm not going.

Tell her you don't like one of the lads.

-You're on top you are!

-Come on!

What bloke?

Hasn't been there long. Steve somebody.

Weren't you invited?

Told him I had something on.

That's not like you to pass up going for a pint.

OK, Ryan, are you ready? Put your hands out.

Left, keep turning.

Keep going, left, left, keep going!

-Spin him faster!

-What you doing?

Stop.

Come on!

Keep going.

Keep going.

Forward.

One, two.

GROANING

Hey!

Hey! What d'ya think you're doing?

-What's going on?

-What's wrong?

-That's what I wanna know.

What's his problem? He's just made him walk into a lamp post!

-It was an accident.

-You did it on purpose.

I was watching ya.

-Andrew, did you do it?

-I'm telling you, I saw it.

You, in.

In!

-What's going on?

-I'm sorry. He's grounded. I'll sort it.

I don't know why he did it.

Hiya!

You won't believe the weekend I've had, wait till I tell you.

You know my sister, Mary, she's not talking to me now, she fell out with the whole family.

We were like two peas in a pod. It's family loyalty for you,

it counts for nothing. Of course she's self, self, self that one.

One minute she's your best friend, the next she's at your throat.

It's like walking on eggshells around her...

-So what've you got?

-Is there anything worrying him?

Is he getting hassle at school?

No, not that I know of.

What's got into him?

He's usually such a lovely boy.

I mean, Colin's trying to toughen him up a bit at the moment, you know.

Toughen him up?

-What, toughen him up at my boy's expense!

-No!

It's not what it looks like, Sonia.

Look, I'd better get off.

Oi!

Oi!

-I'm grounded cos of you.

-Tough.

What did you say?

What are you gonna do, go crying to your daddy again?

Get stuffed!

DOOR OPENS

FOOTSTEP ON STAIRS

Ryan?

Ryan?

Open the door.

Hey, you! What the hell is going on?! Have you seen the state of him? Look at him!

-He wants to learn to keep his mouth shut then, doesn't he?

-You what?

-He started it. I was just fighting back!

-No, I never.

-Fat boy this, fat boy that - it's no wonder he retaliated.

-Come on!

-I haven't called him anything.

-Names are one thing, but this?

It was a square go. If Ryan can't handle it...

Square go!? Three of them? You should be ashamed of yourself!

-Leave him alone, man.

-You're turning him into a bully, mate.

-You know what, I am so sick of you...

THEY ALL SPEAK AT ONCE

ALL SHOUTING

-Get off! Leave it, Les!

-Yeah, you know where I am!

-Oh, hiding behind your wife are you now?

Come on! You know where I live!

THEY CONTINUE SHOUTING

-Just leave it!

-Come outside!

What are you going in there for, eh?

Stop it!

Les, STOP IT!

HE KICKS THE DOOR, SOMETHING CLANGS

Get back in there now you!

It's not worth it, Dad, come on!

Ryan, come here!

You all right, love? Just leave it!

Getting all this are you? See that?

Can you just come inside now?

Come on.

What's going on with you?

-Colin?!

-Leave it!

Right, Andrew, I want the truth.

What happened, did you go for him?

He went for me.

Trying to get me back for the other day. I just fought back,

like you've always told me to.

If anyone hits me,

then I've got the right to hit them back...harder.

Right?

You lost the plot last night, you know.

He was only asking you to do the right thing.

-He was talking to me like I was an idiot.

-Can you blame him?

-Oh, so he's in the right, is he?

-No, I'm not saying that.

I'm not having our Andrew picked on because of his size.

I had the same hassle when I was a lad.

I've told him that if anybody calls him names, he's to smack them in the mouth.

They'll soon get the message.

Colin, this stops...

now.

-Who does he think he is, eh?

-Well, you can hear him, can't you?

I want to know what we can do to sort this before it gets out of hand.

What kind of a father turns his son into a bully? What kind of mentality is that? He's an idiot!

I think it'd just be best to give him a day or two to calm down.

Who does he think he is?

If you want to just take a seat.

I know I'm probably over-reacting,

but it just feels like the whole thing's getting out of hand.

I'm just scared about what might happen.

You took the right step coming here, Mrs Taylor.

Ryan has the right to play wherever he wants,

without having to be scared of being attacked by this boy.

Have you recorded these attacks, times and dates?

-No. No, I haven't.

-Adult witnesses?

There's Ryan's teacher...

-at school.

-Good.

We'll have a word with his parents then.

It is up to you.

Are you sure you don't want me to take you? It's only two minutes outta me way.

I'll walk, Dad. I said I wanna walk.

Where is he? Sick?

LAUGHING

Look at him in his shorts!

Never mind that! Who's that?!

-It looks like his face is gonna blow up.

-I know, that was at... I'm blowing that up.

THEY CONTINUE LAUGHING AND TALKING

'They're calling you fat.

'Fat boy.'

What are you gonna do about the car?

I can't prove it. Do you know what, I've had enough of it round here.

We're selling up.

We're not. I need to be near my mum.

-That's the whole reason we moved here in the first place.

-Things are just gonna get worse.

I'm not moving. I'm not moving for anyone.

Especially not those animals over there.

You know it's your fault.

You caused it.

Going to the police.

I was dealing with it. All you've done is aggravate the situation.

Ahhhhhhh!

Get lost, Gordo Chico!

-Where's Ryan?

-He's gone over to Paul's.

-Who's Paul?

-He's the tall blonde lad in his class, his dad's a plumber.

He lives over the other side of the estate.

REPEATED KNOCKING AT DOOR

< This is what you get, Ryan!

This is what you get!

It's your Ryan!

-Les! Get out here! Get off him!

-Hey, you!

Hey you! You're scum! I'll burn the house down with the lot of yous in it!

-Just get him inside!

-I mean it, Andrew, I'll kill ya!

And that coward of a father of yours!

I mean it, Andrew, if I see you, I'll kill ya!

No, no, no, no. It's OK, it's OK.

It's OK.

I want him charged.

You can't, he's too young.

The police must be able to do something?

What, like, speak to them?

Standing there at the window he was...spectating.

Watching what was going on.

Sick.

Ryan?

I was saving this for your birthday. Thought it might cheer you up.

Do you want something to eat?

Let me know when you're ready for something, yeah?

-Hey! Hey you, scumbag!

-Les!

-Get in the car.

Hey, come on. Hey, hey, come on, it's OK!

-Hey!

-Come on! It's OK.

And what kind of man are you? Standing at the window while the kid's being battered.

-I told you before, do one.

-Hey, listen to me you, you horrible little get! I'll do time for you,

you horrible little get! Don't come near our Ryan again, do you hear me?

I'll kill you, you come near our Ryan again, I'll kill ya! Do you hear me?!

I'll do time for you. You little get!

Come on, get out the car.

I'm warning you! You stay away from my family! Do you hear me?

What are you gonna do - run me over? Get out the car, come on!

HORN BEEPS Get out the car.

I'm warning you. Stay away from my family!

Stay away from them!

What?

WHAT?

Get back in your house!

He's not touched this. Do you want it?

No.

You'll lose a day's pay.

I can't be around him. Not with all those tools - I'll put one in him.

-That'll be cold.

-I'm not hungry.

He'll be having a cup of tea around this time.

They'll be on their break right now.

He'll be sitting there, holding court with all his cronies,

-his stupid bird hanging on every word.

-His bird?

-He's seeing one of the women from work.

-What, and you knew?

-Yeah. You've known about this for all this time and you haven't said anything?

-Why?

-I just didn't.

Sometimes I just don't believe you.

-Our son is suffering at the hands of that lunatic...

-I didn't think...

-..and still you kept you mouth shut?

-I didn't think.

-You're protecting him?

-No!

So what's her name?

You're not thinking straight now.

I am. What's her name?

Jan.

If he turns up, will you call me?

Thanks, bye.

-Where've you been?

-Les didn't turn in. What's up?

-Our child's missing!

He hasn't come home and Scott from the school said he wasn't in.

All right, he'll be skiving off. He's probably bird watching.

Is that were you've been? I know all about your little friend from work. Jan!

Look, you've got it so wrong.

Oh, who told you, eh, him over the road?

All I do is talk to her. Aren't I supposed to talk to anybody any more?

Right now my priority is making sure our son is OK. Hi, Pauline, it's Sonia, Andrew's mum.

Do you want something to eat?

What were you doing?

Spain was good, wasn't it, Mum?

Nah, there's nothing yet.

No, no, she's fine.

She's fine,

she's fine.

Yeah, I'll just get her for you.

Sonia!

It's Pauline.

Hi, Pauline.

Yeah, I'm OK.

Listen, I appreciate you calling, but I just want to keep the line free. Just in case.

I'm going to take him to the doctors first thing in the morning.

Did you hear what I said?

I'm gonna wait till he's asleep, and then see what he's been writing on his laptop.

They do everything on emails and texts, don't they, kids?

You know, when they're depressed.

Les, did you hear anything I just said?

-What have you done to him?

-What?

-Where is he?!

-I don't know what you're talking about.

He's run away because you scared the life out of him!

He was shaking like a leaf this morning.

Does it make you feel big does it, eh? Scaring a kid like that?

Well, I've got witnesses.

They all saw you. Everybody heard you.

I dropped him off at the lane.

You said you dropped him at school.

Outside the school.

Yeah, the lane leads to the school.

All he had to do was walk through the lane. All the kids cut through the lane.

-Were there any kids with him, any friends?

-No.

Nobody. We were late.

What was Andrew's mood this morning when you dropped him off?

Mood? Why are you asking about his mood?

Quiet.

Scared.

It started when we got back.

He was in a mood because I was always playing with the Spanish kids.

And they kept on calling him names.

What kind of names?

"Fat boy" in Spanish.

Ah, Ryan.

He's supposed to be your mate! So why didn't you try to stop them?

In case they started on me.

Go on, you go upstairs, I'll be up in a minute, OK?

We've got reports from various neighbours.

-Hey!

-One of them heard you shout...

-Listen to me, you, I'll do time for you, you horrible little get!

Stay out me way because...

I'll kill ya. You come near our Ryan again, I'll kill ya.

They'd never seen you that angry before.

I didn't mean anything by it.

I was just angry. You can see why, can't you?

Where were you today, Mr Taylor?

-I went for a walk.

-Near the school?

Near the shops.

I was on me own. But, yeah, yeah, that's near the school.

You honestly think that I've got something to do with this?

-You were gone for hours.

-Yeah, well I was very busy abducting Andrew.

I gaffer taped his hands and mouth and put him in a sack. He's in the canal.

You wanna know where I was, I'll tell you where I was.

Estate agents.

We'd still be near your mam.

Wouldn't that be lovely? We wouldn't be facing them.

It was supposed to be a surprise.

Les.

It looks lovely.

Can we talk?

-I think you said enough last night.

-I didn't say anything.

You didn't have to.

Morning.

You're a piece of work, Les.

He was your best friend.

MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYS

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

'Look at me.'

If he ever does anything like that to you again,

I want you to hit him...hard.

Listen to me, you horrible little get!

I'll do time for you, you horrible little get!

Stay away from us.

SHOUTING

Come on!

Totally.

Come on, then!

He was your best friend.

KNOCK AT DOOR

KNOCKING CONTINUES

-Look, for what I've done, I'm sorry.

-Get back to your house.

Lets go and look for him. It's better than sitting here.

-Get away from my door.

-I know what I said, but I'd never hurt Andrew, you know that.

-I said go away.

-Come on, mate. Let's go and find him, I'll apologise.

-I don't want him being scared of me.

-I don't want to set eyes on you.

I was a bully, I know that. I just lost me temper.

-If you stay around here...

-Have you never lost your temper before?

-I'll kill you.

-Ah, Colin...

What happened, mate?

One minute we're on holiday, the next all this kicks off.

Us fighting, the kids fighting. Where's it gonna end? One of us moves away? One of us kills the other?

If you wanna fight me, if it makes you feel better, go ahead, but it won't change anything.

What are you doing up here?

What are you doing up here!?

Dad, please.

Please.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

I've been worried about you.

Dad...

I don't want to fight.

I can't fight.

You don't have to. You don't have to, not anymore.

It's OK.

Andrew, it's OK.

-I'm sorry.

-ANDREW WEEPS

I'm sorry.

I thought I'd lost you.

I'm sorry.

All right?

Thought it was my turn this week.
