APPLAUSE AND WHISTLING

0:00:310:00:37

Right. Eh... my wife and I...

0:00:390:00:41

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:410:00:44

My wife and I would like to thank you all -

0:00:500:00:52

my parents, who feel they're not so much losing a son as losing a liability.

0:00:520:00:59

APPLAUSE

0:00:590:01:00

If we'd been a tribe of Cherokee Indians,

0:01:010:01:04

well, with names like Running Bear and Running Water,

0:01:040:01:08

the only name for me would have been Running Sore.

0:01:080:01:11

APPLAUSE

0:01:110:01:12

But anyway, my wife and I...

0:01:170:01:20

CLANGING GLASSES AND APPLAUSE

0:01:200:01:23

Come on! Hey, hey, hey!

0:01:270:01:30

Yes, we've got it.

0:01:300:01:33

We've got it. Thank you, son.

0:01:330:01:35

Over here through midfield.

0:01:350:01:37

Yes! And Mrs Scoular...

0:01:370:01:40

Yeah! And again!

0:01:400:01:43

I've got it.

0:01:430:01:45

Scoular gets the ball. He turns. He shoots!

0:01:460:01:49

Yeah!

0:01:490:01:51

Put me down!

0:01:570:02:00

Bastards!

0:02:300:02:32

..up the hill on the left.

0:04:290:04:31

Where? Up that way? There's another way up there?

0:04:310:04:34

OK. See you.

0:04:390:04:41

Are yous back already?

0:05:490:05:52

Oh, caught me at it. I cannae stop myself! It's a compulsion. How's that?

0:05:520:05:57

Good.

0:05:570:05:58

-That's fine.

-Driving a delivery van. Jesus.

0:05:580:06:02

-It's a job.

-Look, it's only an interview.

0:06:020:06:04

Right. Done the washing and the ironing and the cleaning

0:06:040:06:09

and the tidying, scrubbed the floors and reslated the roof.

0:06:090:06:14

Thank you.

0:06:140:06:16

And the bin's out for the bin men,

0:06:160:06:19

removed the wisdom tooth - the one at the back.

0:06:190:06:22

Slashed my wrists - twice.

0:06:220:06:25

And now I've just got to drop off the Christmas Club money at Wally's.

0:06:250:06:28

Back before closing time?

0:06:280:06:30

-Aye, before closing time.

-Are you really going to get a job, Dad?

0:06:300:06:34

Wait and see, pet.

0:06:340:06:36

Will it be far away?

0:06:360:06:37

-Maybe.

-Who's going to play football with me, then?

0:06:370:06:40

I am! Come on. Where's the ball?

0:06:400:06:42

Last out's a big jessie!

0:06:420:06:45

Yes!

0:06:450:06:47

Yeah! Yeah, all right! Who's in goals?

0:06:470:06:49

-I am, I suppose.

-You're still wearing your best shoes!

-Come on, then!

0:06:490:06:53

-Danny!

-We need a new as centre-forward.

0:06:530:06:55

-Go on, Danny.

-Kids, come on, then. Go in and change.

0:06:550:07:00

-You ready?

-Born ready.

0:07:110:07:13

-Good evening, gentlemen. I hope you're both alcoholics.

-Gin and tonic, pint of heavy.

0:07:330:07:37

OK, boy. OK.

0:08:380:08:41

-Good evening, Wally.

-Hi, Danny.

0:08:410:08:44

-It's not a bad night.

-Aye, it's not bad.

0:08:440:08:47

That's what I'm saying, Alan.

0:08:470:08:50

Alan, if Thornbank was worth fighting for during the strike, it's worth fighting for now.

0:08:500:08:56

-The struggle goes on.

-Hi, lads.

-Hi, Danny.

0:08:560:08:58

Do you understand what I'm saying here, Alan?

0:08:580:09:01

-Sam, lads.

-I'm just an ordinary barman, Vince.

0:09:010:09:04

My thanks to you as an astute political activist.

0:09:040:09:06

-You all right, Danny?

-Vince.

-Coal miners in the eastern bloc are asking why we lost the strike.

0:09:060:09:12

Look, the great British miners' strike of 1984.

0:09:120:09:17

-Want to know what we did right, what we did wrong.

-We got beat.

0:09:170:09:20

-That's a hard enough lesson to learn.

-That's what I'm saying, Sam.

0:09:200:09:23

This country knows how to shelve democracy as well as the next.

0:09:230:09:27

Next time we crack their skulls before they crack ours.

0:09:270:09:31

Tell that to the scabs.

0:09:310:09:34

-Frankie!

-Alan, a pint of heavy for my big pal here.

0:09:340:09:38

-Are you feeling all right, Frankie?

-Nae problem, Danny.

0:09:380:09:40

-I just got back from New York, as it happens.

-Your mother said.

0:09:400:09:42

A wee bit of business - flight paid for. Yourself?

0:09:420:09:46

Interview for a job tomorrow - van driver.

0:09:460:09:48

Van driver!

0:09:480:09:51

Beth wants me to go.

0:09:520:09:54

Give me a minute, will you, Dan? Bursting.

0:09:570:10:01

Hey, Danny, here's your paper.

0:10:010:10:03

Saved you one.

0:10:030:10:05

Vince, you talk a lot of shite.

0:10:050:10:08

So that's your man?

0:10:140:10:16

That's him, Mr Mason, a man of principle - the best.

0:10:160:10:20

Mmm. Seems a bit lost in himself.

0:10:200:10:23

Wouldn't you be - ten months on strike, six months in jail?

0:10:230:10:27

Jail? For what?

0:10:270:10:29

Grievous bodily harm.

0:10:290:10:31

He hit a policeman in the head.

0:10:310:10:33

Where's the grief in that, eh?

0:10:330:10:36

But he's blacklisted now.

0:10:360:10:38

He's a marked man.

0:10:380:10:40

Even if the mine was to open tomorrow, he wouldn't get a job.

0:10:400:10:44

I tell you, Mr Mason, he's all yours.

0:10:440:10:46

What makes you so sure?

0:10:460:10:49

Money.

0:10:490:10:51

His wife supports him.

0:10:510:10:52

So what makes him stay in this shite hole?

0:10:520:10:55

Well, this place is all he's got.

0:10:550:10:57

People here remember who he was.

0:10:570:10:59

-A loser.

-Oh, no, Mr Mason - one thing about Danny Scoular - he only fights for what he believes in.

0:10:590:11:05

He'll not back down.

0:11:050:11:07

The big man, proud in victory, glorious in defeat.

0:11:070:11:11

Mmm. Not so glorious now, eh?

0:11:110:11:13

We were fighting for a better future.

0:11:460:11:48

I think we should feel good about that.

0:11:480:11:51

A pint of heavy.

0:11:510:11:53

We have to keep thinking.

0:11:540:11:56

We have to show those gangster politicians that we will NOT bend over and have our arses kicked.

0:11:560:12:03

You talk shit!

0:12:030:12:05

-I've got my opinions, pal.

-I said shut up.

0:12:110:12:15

-Open your mouth again, I'll fill it with a glass.

-Hey.

0:12:150:12:18

Yes. Can I help you?

0:12:200:12:21

-The boy's just talking.

-Not anymore, he's not.

0:12:210:12:24

And who are you, you streak of piss?

0:12:240:12:27

You his daddy come to wipe his arse?

0:12:270:12:28

Alan doesn't like fights inside his pub.

0:12:550:12:59

Yeah! Yeah!

0:13:020:13:03

SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

0:13:030:13:05

Go, Danny! That fucking bastard.

0:13:080:13:10

Go Danny! He's a fucking loser, Danny.

0:13:100:13:12

Gaun yersel', Danny!

0:13:200:13:22

Go on, Danny!

0:13:290:13:31

That's how we beat them round here - straight in and no messing, just like the strike.

0:13:360:13:42

A fighter for principle,

0:13:420:13:44

the kind you cannot buy.

0:13:440:13:46

Everybody gets a drink on me!

0:13:460:13:50

A word with you, sir.

0:14:040:14:06

Go on, Billy. Mush. Mush.

0:14:190:14:23

And there he goes!

0:14:230:14:25

HE HUMS

0:14:330:14:39

# Dee dee-dee dee... # Bingo!

0:14:390:14:43

My favourite girl - you should be in your bed.

0:14:500:14:53

This is a £50 note. Where did you get it?

0:14:530:14:55

Not bad for one night's work, eh?

0:14:550:14:57

All right, Beth? Look. It's flying away!

0:14:570:15:01

Work? A bet - it must have been a bet.

0:15:010:15:02

An advance. An advance.

0:15:020:15:05

-I'm earning it.

-Like a job?

-A job.

0:15:050:15:08

And more where that came from.

0:15:100:15:11

This is a lot of money, Danny.

0:15:170:15:19

-A lot of money. Now tell me where you got it.

-Right.

0:15:190:15:23

There's this gentleman, Mr Mason. Matt Mason. He's from Glasgow.

0:15:230:15:26

-Who is he?

-A businessman. A friend of Frankie's.

0:15:260:15:28

What's a proper businessman doing with Frankie White?

0:15:280:15:30

Mr Mason's a wealthy man. Beth, you could take him home to your mother.

0:15:300:15:34

-Owns a string of betting shops.

-A bookie?!

0:15:340:15:36

Respectable. Owns racehorses.

0:15:360:15:39

You're too old to believe in Santa Claus, Danny.

0:15:390:15:41

-Just what sort of job is it?

-Oh, for Christ's sake, Beth.

0:15:410:15:44

It's money, isn't it? Van driving doesn't make this kind of money.

0:15:440:15:47

OK. So you don't want to drive a van.

0:15:470:15:48

Fine. No problem. But what are you going to do?

0:15:480:15:50

-Ride a racehorse?

-Fight a man.

0:15:500:15:53

-You mean hit someone?

-Fight, fight a man.

-Who?

0:15:550:15:58

-Don't know.

-You don't know?

0:15:580:16:00

It doesn't matter. It's bare knuckles, right?

0:16:000:16:02

-It's a bare-knuckle fight.

-Since when were you a bare-knuckle fighter?

0:16:020:16:05

I can't sit here and wash the children's underwear for the rest of my life.

0:16:050:16:07

Why not? I work. I earn the money.

0:16:070:16:10

I've got a job!

0:16:100:16:12

Can you not think for just one minute - think what you're doing?

0:16:120:16:16

Look, honey, listen.

0:16:160:16:18

All I'm going to do is get into a bit of a scrap, right?

0:16:180:16:20

A playground scrap.

0:16:200:16:23

We can take this man Mason's money and run.

0:16:230:16:26

-Let's just pack up and go.

-Go? Go where?

0:16:290:16:33

Anywhere. Sell up and move out.

0:16:330:16:36

Too late.

0:16:420:16:44

I said I'm doing it.

0:16:440:16:46

It's too late.

0:16:460:16:49

-So you told the boys?

-Aye.

0:16:490:16:51

Booked their tickets. Want to see some blood - people pay good money for that, you know.

0:16:530:16:57

You don't have to do this, Danny.

0:17:110:17:13

I want to do it.

0:17:130:17:14

I won't go through it all again.

0:17:190:17:21

I won't.

0:17:210:17:24

I'm not going to sit here with the kids while you're in jail

0:17:240:17:28

or hospital or God knows where. I won't, no.

0:17:280:17:31

No.

0:17:310:17:33

You always have to be the big man, don't you?

0:18:320:18:34

Always Jack the Lad.

0:18:360:18:37

Do you think these people care if you went to prison,

0:18:390:18:42

never get a job down a mine?

0:18:420:18:45

Danny, I know it could have been anyone else.

0:18:470:18:52

The point is, it was you.

0:18:520:18:55

And I stood by you

0:18:550:18:57

because it was a principle there.

0:18:570:18:59

It was about leading ordinary, decent lives. We fought for that.

0:18:590:19:04

I never wanted to see you hurt.

0:19:040:19:07

I love you.

0:19:080:19:10

Isn't that enough?

0:19:120:19:14

You don't have to go out and get yourself brain damage just to prove you're still Danny Scoular.

0:19:140:19:19

Go to sleep.

0:19:240:19:25

I took the man's money, Beth.

0:19:310:19:34

And you could just give it back.

0:19:340:19:37

Roll over Sugar Ray Robinson!

0:20:180:20:21

Bite your bum Muhammad Ali!

0:20:210:20:24

In the red corner, the man you wouldn't take home to see your sister,

0:20:240:20:29

Thornbank's answer to Rocky Marciano, the mad miner himself, Danny Scoular.

0:20:290:20:35

# Here we go, here we go, here we go! #

0:20:350:20:40

-Dad, dad!

-Come in.

0:20:490:20:52

Go on your bike. Go on.

0:20:520:20:53

Mum, dad's going running - running!

0:20:550:20:58

I know.

0:20:580:21:00

Come on.

0:21:040:21:07

Come on. Keep those knees up now.

0:21:090:21:12

Come on! You're running like a big jessie.

0:21:120:21:15

So who's this I'm fighting, Frankie?

0:21:180:21:20

What do you want to know that for?

0:21:200:21:22

All you have to do is batter the shit out of him.

0:21:220:21:25

Slow down, you bastard.

0:21:250:21:27

I'm the pacemaker.

0:21:270:21:29

Slow down before I lose my balls in this saddle!

0:21:290:21:32

Danny!

0:21:410:21:43

Danny!

0:21:450:21:47

Hey!

0:21:480:21:49

Look at that.

0:21:520:21:54

Still in working order.

0:21:540:21:57

You know where they bring the coal in from now? China.

0:21:570:22:00

Good riddance. Let the chinkies do it. That's what I say.

0:22:000:22:05

That was more than a job, Frankie.

0:22:050:22:07

That was worth fighting for.

0:22:070:22:09

Not for me it isn't.

0:22:100:22:12

What did they do for you and the rest? Where did it get you?

0:22:120:22:15

Thornbank, land of the living dead.

0:22:150:22:19

Your brains are boiled away until there's nothing left in the bag.

0:22:190:22:24

Look at me - made my own way in the world, a travelled man.

0:22:240:22:29

America, the Wild West!

0:22:290:22:32

You were always a bloody cowboy, Frank.

0:22:320:22:34

HORN HONKS

0:22:560:22:57

Hello! Yeah!

0:23:000:23:02

Beth! What are you doing? Beth!

0:23:060:23:10

He's running now. Faster, dad. Faster.

0:23:100:23:14

Kids! No!

0:23:140:23:18

Hello, darling.

0:24:020:24:03

Here you go. Come now.

0:24:050:24:06

Oh, Beth.

0:24:350:24:38

They're my kids too.

0:24:470:24:48

Stay quiet. Don't move.

0:24:500:24:52

I'll fix the tea.

0:24:520:24:54

Other men have shifted themselves, made something of themselves after the strike. Not Danny.

0:24:570:25:02

He organises his life with the precision of a road accident.

0:25:020:25:07

Everything I loved about him makes me angry now.

0:25:070:25:11

He could get up and do something at a moment's notice. I loved that.

0:25:110:25:14

But he can't concentrate on anything for longer than five minutes.

0:25:140:25:17

And if he does do anything - if he irons a shirt - he expects a gold medal for it.

0:25:170:25:21

He doesn't understand he's got to take what's there -

0:25:240:25:26

the oil rigs, van driving, cleaning windows, whatever it is.

0:25:260:25:30

And now he's working for gangsters?!

0:25:300:25:32

Thinks he's Jack the Lad again!

0:25:320:25:35

For God's sake, how can you hope to bring the kids up decent?

0:25:350:25:38

He doesn't even know himself what he believes in.

0:25:380:25:41

I gave up everything for him, Gordon and college and...

0:25:410:25:45

Beginning to sound like my mother.

0:25:490:25:51

Everything she said about us...

0:25:520:25:55

it was all true.

0:25:560:25:58

Sometimes you sound as if we'd brought you up as a punishment.

0:25:580:26:01

Your mother happens to be my wife.

0:26:010:26:04

Another day, another dollar! I want you on the road in ten.

0:26:500:26:53

Why me?

0:26:530:26:55

Why you what?

0:26:550:26:57

Why did Mason pick me?

0:26:570:26:59

Mr Mason's been like a father to me.

0:26:590:27:01

Trust me. Up and out. Shake it!

0:27:010:27:04

Oi! Where you going? Danny!

0:27:230:27:26

Hey!

0:27:260:27:28

Bastard.

0:27:310:27:34

Mr Murtagh.

0:27:490:27:50

About the job - I've come about the job.

0:27:590:28:01

-Sorry. Mr...?

-Scoular, Danny Scoular.

0:28:010:28:04

The interviews were yesterday, Mr Scoular.

0:28:040:28:07

I know I'm late, but I'm here now.

0:28:070:28:09

Just ask me some questions. I need the job.

0:28:090:28:12

Do you have any van driving experience?

0:28:120:28:15

You know, I've always wanted to be a van driver.

0:28:150:28:18

What are your qualifications?

0:28:180:28:20

I was a miner, 13 years.

0:28:200:28:22

I see you have a criminal record, Mr Scoular.

0:28:220:28:26

Not a criminal record - a political record.

0:28:260:28:29

Hardly a qualification for driving a van.

0:28:290:28:32

What sort of qualifications are you looking for?

0:28:320:28:35

I don't want to waste time here, Mr Scoular.

0:28:350:28:38

We've had a lot of applicants.

0:28:380:28:40

With qualifications?

0:28:400:28:42

We have applicants with impressive credentials.

0:28:420:28:46

Hey!

0:28:500:28:52

What about that for credentials?

0:28:540:28:55

My arse flat enough for the seat in the van?

0:28:550:28:58

I think the interview's over, Mr Scoular.

0:28:590:29:01

Aye.

0:29:010:29:04

-Hi, Danny!

-Hey, ladies.

0:29:420:29:43

Danny, here's some steak to keep your strength up and something for Billy, the dog.

0:29:440:29:49

Thanks, Alec.

0:29:490:29:50

Danny, vitamin C, multivitamins, iron, ginseng!

0:29:500:29:54

-That'll make you run like the wind!

-Thanks!

Hi, Eddie. Nice of you to show up.

Your man's looking brilliant, 100% on target.

0:30:340:30:38

All right, Danny?

0:30:430:30:46

Last time I saw one of those, Hitler was in it.

0:30:460:30:48

Where's the Big Man today?

0:30:480:30:51

Mr Mason sent you this.

0:30:510:30:53

I'm in the dark, Eddie.

0:30:530:30:55

-Ah, it's the best way.

-The man I'm to fight?

0:30:550:30:57

-Cutty Dawson.

-Is that his name?

0:30:570:30:59

Did you not know that?

0:30:590:31:01

-Who does Cutty Dawson fight for?

-Don't ask me about Cutty Dawson.

0:31:010:31:05

-Be a pal. Just don't ask.

-Come on!

0:31:050:31:07

-Come on!

-All right. Hey, hey!

Ever get the feeling you're being played for a shithead, Eddie?

0:31:100:31:13

Perhaps Mason better find himself another monkey.

0:31:130:31:17

Ask Frankie. He's got a big gob on him.

0:31:170:31:19

Ask him about a man called Colvin. Cam Colvin!

0:31:190:31:23

So he's looking good?

0:31:280:31:30

Aye, he's looking good.

0:31:300:31:32

Well, I'm glad he's looking good.

0:31:320:31:35

You think The Big Man's all he's cracked up to be, eh?

0:31:350:31:40

He battered Billy.

0:31:400:31:42

Could have been a lucky punch.

0:31:420:31:44

Oh, thank you.

0:31:450:31:47

Frankie was thinking of getting some of the Thornbank boys to come up to the fight.

0:31:500:31:55

-Forget it.

-Home team.

0:31:550:31:58

Frankie was saying that psychologically speaking, he needs motivation.

0:31:580:32:02

He needs a reason to fight.

0:32:020:32:05

-Did you give him the money?

-Aye, I did.

0:32:050:32:08

A man of principle. I see.

0:32:080:32:10

-Mr Stalker.

-Uh-huh.

0:32:330:32:35

Mr Colvin.

0:32:510:32:52

Mr Mason.

0:32:520:32:56

Stalker, you should be in Spain.

0:32:560:32:58

Just leave it open.

Danny, it was just a guy in a Volvo.

0:52:400:52:41

It could have been a driving instructor.

0:52:410:52:43

Sod it!

0:52:460:52:47

Who the fuck does he think he is? I set up this fight. I'm not going to take this shit! I know the score.

0:52:490:52:54

He's a fucking loser. He was always a loser.

0:52:540:52:56

He always WILL be a fucking loser.

0:52:560:52:58

# Ain't it fine

0:53:010:53:04

# Ain't it fine When you know what you have

0:53:060:53:09

# And you have what you know you want

0:53:090:53:12

# So fine, so fine, so fine... #

0:53:120:53:15

You all right, pal?

0:53:230:53:25

-Eh?

-You all right?

0:53:270:53:30

RAIN POURS OUTSIDE

0:53:300:53:33

Do you think it's raining everywhere?

0:53:350:53:37

It doesn't rain in the Gobi Desert.

0:53:390:53:41

That's why the camels have humps.

0:53:440:53:46

Why?

0:53:460:53:48

-To store the water.

-Can they not get it from the tap like everyone else?

0:53:480:53:53

Rain -

0:54:000:54:01

we could lend them some of ours.

0:54:040:54:06

Can we go there, Ma?

0:54:070:54:09

Aye, we can go there.

0:54:110:54:12

We can go to all sorts of places,

0:54:140:54:16

Mongolia,

0:54:170:54:20

California,

0:54:200:54:23

Venezuela,

0:54:230:54:24

India.

0:54:260:54:28

Majorca?

0:54:280:54:29

How will we get there?

0:54:290:54:32

Balloon.

0:54:370:54:39

We'll float on the clouds.

0:54:410:54:42

What's the matter, Frankie? It's gone all floppy.

0:55:010:55:04

Don't mind me, Sandra.

0:55:040:55:05

Yes, Mr Mason.

0:55:050:55:07

How are things, Frankie?

0:55:080:55:10

Hmm?

0:55:140:55:15

John Logie Baird, the inventor of television.

0:55:150:55:19

The steam engine, James Watt.

0:55:190:55:22

The phone...

0:55:220:55:24

-Who was that?

-The phone!

0:55:240:55:27

Does that not ring a bell,

0:55:270:55:29

an Alexander Graham Bell!

0:55:290:55:31

Of course, Alexander frae Darvel.

0:55:310:55:34

-Penicillin.

-Sir Alexander Fleming.

0:55:360:55:39

Simpson, chloroform.

0:55:390:55:42

-Tarmacadam?

-No, but listen.

0:55:420:55:45

Listen. We've left out the greatest Scotsman of them all - Rabbie Burns.

0:55:450:55:50

-Och aye. We're a curious and restless race, us Scots.

-We're into everything.

0:55:500:55:55

I mean, look at the things we've discovered and invented.

0:55:550:55:59

So many things, right enough.

0:55:590:56:01

You'd have trouble playing this game with Hungarians.

0:56:010:56:05

Hungarians?

0:56:050:56:06

Bela Lugosi!

LOUD MUSIC: "Over You" by Bryan Ferry

0:56:130:56:17

Hey!

0:56:530:56:55

I want a word with you, by the way!

0:56:550:56:57

Hey, ho! Come here a minute. You've been seen, you bastard.

0:56:590:57:02

-You'd better get your arse in the gym tomorrow, 2.00pm or else!

-Fuck off.

0:57:020:57:07

I told you to get away from me. Now fuck off!

0:57:070:57:09

Don't come the funny fucker with me.

0:57:090:57:12

It's me, remember?

0:57:120:57:13

I set up your first fight. It's my fucking reputation on the line.

0:57:130:57:17

Ah, your reputation's a bag of shit, Frankie.

0:57:170:57:21

Fuck you. Fuck Mason.

0:57:210:57:22

Fuck the fight. The fight's off.

0:57:220:57:25

It's all off! Tell Mason he can shove it. Now fuck off!

0:57:250:57:29

Ah, Danny, for fuck's sake!

0:57:290:57:34

I'd marry you.

0:57:380:57:40

-Would you?

-I would.

0:57:400:57:43

Is that you, Beth?

0:57:440:57:46

Yeah. I'll only be a minute.

0:57:460:57:49

Just saying good night.

0:57:490:57:50

In here.

0:57:580:58:00

No. Here. Come on!

0:58:020:58:03

DOOR OPENS

0:58:470:58:48

CAREFREE WHISTLING

0:58:480:58:50

What are you all staring at?

0:59:120:59:14

Huh? You didn't think I would show, eh?

0:59:180:59:21

Ahh! What's the matter, man? Pain's in the wallet.

0:59:210:59:26

You want to see what you've got your money on.

0:59:260:59:28

Come on! I'll show you.

0:59:280:59:31

I'll take the lot of you.

0:59:310:59:33

What's that, Tommy? You've got to want to kill the other man, is that right?

0:59:330:59:37

Oh, don't forget the old thumb on the eye.

0:59:370:59:40

Where's Cutty Dawson?

0:59:400:59:42

Bring him on now.

0:59:420:59:44

Come on.

0:59:440:59:45

Come one, come all!

0:59:450:59:47

In the red corner,

0:59:470:59:50

Danny Scoular the Mad Miner!

0:59:500:59:54

Raised on cow pie,

0:59:560:59:59

ten months on strike, in the starring role in Graithnock County Court in grievous bodily harm.

0:59:591:00:07

See the man that could crack the heads of a thousand policemen!

1:00:071:00:11

Stand back, ladies.

1:00:111:00:13

He takes on all comers!

1:00:131:00:15

So...

1:00:161:00:17

which one of you wants a fucking fight?

1:00:171:00:21

There's the cherry cake.

1:00:541:00:56

Fancies.

1:00:591:01:01

Buttered scones.

1:01:011:01:04

-Jam.

-There's enough food on this table to feed 20 people.

1:01:071:01:12

-It's not excessive.

-In the strike...

1:01:121:01:15

Digestive, Gordon?

1:01:201:01:22

-I will, thank you very much.

-In the great miners' strike of 1984...

1:01:221:01:25

Scone, Beth?

1:01:251:01:27

We used to boil up old pit potatoes on an old stove and feed them to the kids.

1:01:301:01:35

Yes, well...

1:01:371:01:39

Look where it got them.

1:01:391:01:41

It was hard, but, er...

1:01:461:01:50

I think the change was inevitable. Will you have one of these, Peggy? They're very good.

1:01:501:01:55

Thank you, Gordon.

1:01:551:01:56

Beth?

1:01:591:02:00

Danny?

1:02:001:02:04

Kate?

1:02:051:02:07

SHE WHISTLES

1:02:121:02:14

Over here, Smithy.

1:02:401:02:42

Show him your arm, Smithy.

1:02:451:02:48

-Tell the man who supplies you with this stuff.

-Cam Colvin.

1:02:491:02:52

-Ever tried to come off it?

-I've tried.

1:02:521:02:55

You ever gonna come off it?

1:02:551:02:58

Aye, sure, when they bury me.

1:02:581:03:00

How old are you, Smithy?

1:03:001:03:03

13, nearly.

1:03:031:03:05

A wee kid, better off in Dachau.

1:03:051:03:09

I've known them inject themselves in the prick, only place they could find a vein.

1:03:091:03:12

That's not a tailor's dummy. The kid can hear you!

1:03:121:03:14

Oh, you think I'm hurting the kid's pride?

1:03:141:03:17

Here.

1:03:171:03:18

Here. Away back to school, Smithy.

1:03:211:03:24

I grew up here, you know.

1:03:361:03:38

You think I don't feel a thing for this kid?

1:03:381:03:41

This place,

1:03:411:03:44

it sickens me in my guts.

1:03:441:03:47

I want to make something clear to you.

1:03:491:03:52

You're not just fighting Cutty.

1:03:521:03:54

Cutty works for Cam Colvin

1:03:541:03:57

and this is how Colvin makes his living. That's where we live.

1:03:571:04:01

It's a tough world, eh?

1:04:011:04:03

I mean, you're the expert in pride, Danny.

1:04:031:04:05

You can afford it. These kids can't.

1:04:051:04:07

It's up to you and me, Danny, you and me together.

1:04:071:04:10

Colvin and his crew, we've got to take them out of business.

1:04:101:04:14

Could be your child, could be mine.

1:04:171:04:21

Remember that on Sunday, Danny.

1:04:211:04:24

Don't get on his wrong side, Danny. That's all.

1:04:311:04:35

Just keep thinking of that lovely money you're gonna win tomorrow night.

1:04:351:04:38

Think positive.

1:04:401:04:41

That's what I always do.

1:04:411:04:43

It's a good trick. Think positive, act positive.

1:04:431:04:46

The American way! I'm OK, you're OK.

1:04:461:04:49

OK?

1:04:491:04:51

OK, Frankie.

1:04:511:04:53

Well, Mr Mason, do you think your big man is as pumped up as he's supposed to be?

1:08:041:08:08

You'll have to wait and see, Mr Colvin.

1:08:081:08:10

Cutty will kill him.

1:08:101:08:13

Your big man's in for a right kicking today.

1:08:131:08:16

Can we have some order, please?

1:08:221:08:25

Order, could we have some order please? Order please, everybody!

1:08:251:08:29

Thank you. Thank you.

1:08:291:08:31

Order, please!

1:08:311:08:33

Thank you.

1:08:341:08:35

What we have here

1:08:381:08:40

is a fight to the finish. Right?

1:08:401:08:44

No disputed verdicts, no points system. One fight, one winner.

1:08:441:08:48

Now, whoever stands alone

1:08:481:08:51

at this line

1:08:511:08:52

when I call time

1:08:541:08:56

and drop my handkerchief is the winner.

1:08:561:09:00

Any questions?

1:09:001:09:01

Yes. Where is the nearest hospital to Thornbank?

1:09:011:09:06

Mr Colvin

1:09:061:09:08

was asking the boys a question.

1:09:081:09:11

You and Mr Mason asked me to referee this fight.

1:09:111:09:13

If you're not pleased with me, you can deal with me after.

1:09:131:09:16

All right. We have two big, healthy men here,

1:09:171:09:19

AHH!

1:11:251:11:26

Back off, ya bastard!

1:11:261:11:29

-You need all the help you can fucking get!

-30 seconds, gentlemen.

You're a dead man!

1:11:351:11:37

Big Man.

1:22:311:22:33

GUN CLICKS

I'll leave one for you.

1:24:441:24:46

-Where'd you get that stuff?

-My father gave me a credit card.

1:25:031:25:07

You should be more respectful of my father.

1:25:121:25:15

He'll take care of you.

1:25:151:25:17

Cultivate his friendship.

1:25:201:25:22

Some of it might rub off.

1:25:231:25:25

Why give yourself such a hard time?

1:25:311:25:33

Do you enjoy it?

1:25:351:25:36

A line of this in your prick, and you'll dance the night away.

1:25:411:25:44

Mason!

Mason!

1:26:531:26:57

Mason!

1:26:571:26:59

Mason!

1:27:001:27:01

Mason!

1:27:021:27:03

My brother's blind.

1:27:031:27:05

He's fucking blind, you bastard.

1:27:051:27:08

Mason! Mason! I'm going to get you back, you bastard!

1:27:131:27:18

I'm going to get you all back. You're scum!

1:27:181:27:21

Argh!

1:27:211:27:23

Mason!

1:27:271:27:28

Get off! Get off! Get off! Leave him alone.

1:27:281:27:32

You blinded my brother. He's blind.

1:27:321:27:35

I'm going to slit your throat and spit in your fucking face!

1:27:351:27:39

Leave him the hell alone!

1:27:401:27:42

Leave him alone. Get away, you fuck.

1:27:421:27:46

It's OK, son. It's OK.

1:27:461:27:48

Your brother, Cutty, I want to see him. Where is he?

1:27:481:27:51

He's in the hospital.

1:27:531:27:55

They took him in the big hospital.

1:27:551:27:57

All right, son.

1:28:001:28:03

Get back!

1:28:031:28:05

Take him home.

1:28:161:28:17

Leave the man alone!

1:28:241:28:26

They're animals.

1:28:291:28:32

You should keep them on a lead.

1:28:321:28:35

Money. You owe me money.

1:28:371:28:40

You don't recognise the man you are, Danny.

1:28:511:28:54

I saw today the nature of the beast.

1:28:541:28:58

There's not many that have it.

1:28:581:29:00

Here's the motivation!

1:29:021:29:05

This is the only glory that's worth the pain.

1:29:051:29:08

It's money I'm talking about, Danny.

1:29:081:29:10

Money, hmm?

1:29:101:29:12

Don't tell me three miles underground on your hands and knees spitting coal dust you had no dreams of money, eh?

1:29:151:29:21

-What about Cutty?

-Cutty got beat.

1:29:291:29:31

Aye, but Cutty Dawson's blind.

1:29:331:29:35

Aye. Here.

1:29:351:29:37

Treat him to a white stick,

1:29:371:29:40

and here's a little extra for yourself.

1:29:401:29:42

Yes. Go on. Take it. Go home.

1:29:441:29:46

Buy the kids a new coat for winter, shoes for the wife.

1:29:461:29:50

Don't! Take it! Take it.

1:29:501:29:52

-Is my daddy there?

-Why aren't you sleeping?

1:30:121:30:16

Have you had an accident?

1:30:161:30:19

Yes, I have.

1:30:231:30:24

It was more like a disaster.

1:30:261:30:29

But you're still alive, aren't you?

1:30:291:30:32

So far.

1:30:341:30:35

-Do you want your mummy?

-Yes.

1:30:371:30:39

Take my hand.

1:30:441:30:46

Frankie, get the dog.

1:30:531:30:55

-What?

-Get the dog and get the car.

1:30:551:30:57

Here. See your big sister? Go on, then.

1:31:011:31:04

Danny?

1:31:121:31:13

This is serious money.

1:31:161:31:17

You've got to give it back.

1:31:171:31:19

We're going to die. We're dead. We're in the hearse.

1:31:191:31:22

Get Billy the dog and get the car, or I'll break your neck.

1:31:221:31:26

You wait. You hear? You wait.

1:31:441:31:47

Davie?

1:32:081:32:09

Is that you, Davie?

1:32:161:32:17

Cutty, it's me, Danny Scoular.

1:32:181:32:21

Pleased to meet you.

1:32:241:32:25

-Cutty, I'm sorry.

-It's not your fault. Just a job.

1:32:321:32:35

But you could be blind, for Christ's sake.

1:32:391:32:42

That's the way it goes.

1:32:421:32:44

It's nobody's fault.

1:32:441:32:46

I got beat.

1:32:461:32:48

The fight, Cutty...

1:33:031:33:05

What were we fighting for?

1:33:051:33:06

-You don't know?

-No.

1:33:061:33:08

Still in your nappies!

1:33:081:33:10

I didn't tell you this, right?

1:33:101:33:13

There's a fella called Tony, Big Man,

1:33:131:33:17

Big Man in Glasgow,

1:33:171:33:19

Big Man in Spain, Big Man everywhere, been spending money that didnae belong to him.

1:33:191:33:25

-So?

-He was supplying drugs.

1:33:251:33:27

-Drugs?

-Aye.

1:33:271:33:29

He made a bum delivery - brown sugar and Ajax.

1:33:291:33:33

To who? To Colvin? He was cheating on Colvin?

1:33:331:33:36

And Mason. They were in it together.

1:33:361:33:39

-Together?

-Always in it together, ever since they were wiping each other's arses.

1:33:401:33:46

But the fight... What was the point of the fight?

1:33:461:33:48

We were the bet,

1:33:481:33:50

to see who would kill the Big Man.

1:33:501:33:53

Somebody had to pay the bill.

1:33:531:33:56

I lost.

1:33:561:33:58

So Colvin pays,

1:33:581:34:00

shoulders the risk.

1:34:001:34:02

When we were kids, we used to race snails through the puddles.

1:34:111:34:15

The loser got his snail trod on.

1:34:171:34:19

What's this?

1:34:291:34:31

We had a collection for you.

1:34:311:34:32

That's what you earned. You take it.

1:34:321:34:34

Stay away from your man Mason.

1:34:341:34:37

He's buried more people than your undertaker.

1:34:371:34:42

BARKING

1:35:021:35:04

I'm home.

1:35:591:35:59

I won.

1:36:011:36:03

A fine mess you've made of yourself.

1:36:051:36:08

Look at you.

1:36:081:36:10

Are you collecting your things?

1:36:101:36:13

-Why should I do that?

-What about Gordon?

1:36:131:36:16

It was nothing to do with him, Danny.

1:36:201:36:22

It was to do with me.

1:36:221:36:25

Understand?

1:36:251:36:26

Look.

1:36:351:36:36

It's not money I want.

1:36:361:36:38

It's you.

1:36:401:36:43

I love you.

1:36:451:36:46

Where's Kate, wee Danny?

1:36:501:36:51

Sleeping in their beds where they belong.

1:36:551:36:57

Love you too, Beth.

1:36:571:36:59

This is my home, Danny,

1:37:011:37:04

our home.

1:37:041:37:06

This is the life we've chosen for ourselves.

1:37:081:37:10

Look at this, Beth. Look at it!

1:37:101:37:13

I had to do it.

1:37:161:37:17

There's blood on that money, and I'll not have it in the house.

1:37:201:37:22

I'm going in now.

1:37:301:37:31

KNOCKING

1:38:211:38:22

Ah, it's yourself, Beth. Can Danny come out to play?

1:38:271:38:31

-Not with the likes of you.

-Eh, Mr Mason will be calling around later.

1:38:341:38:38

We'll deal with it, Frankie.

1:38:401:38:42

For Christ's sake, Beth. I've just persuaded Mr Mason to give you all one last chance as a special favour.

1:38:441:38:49

We don't NEED special favours.

1:38:491:38:51

Well, it's a special favour to me. If I don't come up with the goodies, I might have to disappear here.

1:38:511:38:55

And what do you get out of it, Frankie?

1:38:551:38:58

Well, my arms and legs get to stay in working order. Just let me see him.

1:38:581:39:01

It's best he comes out now.

1:39:011:39:03

Aye. OK.

1:39:071:39:08

Wait there.

1:39:101:39:12

What was that for?

1:39:241:39:25

Get your arse out of my front yard.

1:39:251:39:28

-Go on!

-Jesus Christ!

1:39:281:39:31

Hey! Ho! Hey!

1:39:341:39:36

New shoes, Sam?

1:39:571:39:58

I won a bet on you.

1:40:001:40:03

Danny, there's a shithead in the pub for you.

1:40:051:40:08

A smile like a tax collector.

1:40:081:40:10

Thought I'd better let you know.

1:40:101:40:12

Thanks, Sam.

1:40:121:40:15

Could you not get out of here?

1:40:311:40:33

Where else would I go, Sam?

1:40:331:40:36

Would you like me to call the police?

1:40:361:40:38

No! It wouldn't do any good.

1:40:381:40:40

Tell me, Danny. You won the fight, didn't you?

1:40:481:40:50

So what did you do wrong?

1:40:501:40:52

No problem, Danny. At least I'm still walking.

1:41:081:41:10

-It's you they're after.

-What did you do in New York, Frankie, eh, eh? Eh?

1:41:101:41:14

What did you do in New York?

1:41:141:41:16

Eh?

1:41:161:41:17

What's this? What's all this, you bastard?

1:41:171:41:20

What about you, Danny Scoular?

1:41:201:41:23

These guys will hide in your coal hole for a week just to get you.

1:41:231:41:27

If they can't get you, it will be Beth and the kids.

1:41:271:41:30

Did you think I wouldn't come?

1:42:191:42:22

I had my reasons for what I did.

1:42:221:42:24

So does Mother Teresa, but she doesn't use my money.

1:42:241:42:28

I'll give you a ride home.

1:43:161:43:17

We called in earlier.

1:43:181:43:20

Jesus.

1:43:201:43:22

Beth!

1:43:511:43:53

Beth!

1:43:571:43:58

Beth!

1:44:011:44:02

Beth!

1:44:061:44:07

Ladies and gentlemen,

1:44:501:44:53

your champion,

1:44:531:44:56

the Big Man,

1:44:561:44:58

Danny Scoular!

1:44:581:45:00

There's none fight longer.

1:45:001:45:03

There's none fight harder.

1:45:031:45:04

Here, a celebration,

1:45:071:45:10

the pride of Thornbank.

1:45:101:45:11

Time to celebrate the conquering hero.

1:45:131:45:19

Get back underground and crawl through shit for a penny.

1:45:221:45:26

It's all you're worth.

1:45:261:45:29

I'd rather crawl through shit than live in a slaughterhouse.

1:45:291:45:31

You've got your money. Now fuck off.

1:45:311:45:34

It's not the money I want. It's you.

1:45:341:45:35

I'll be back.

1:45:351:45:37

The man says he'll be back.

1:45:371:45:39

You'll never sleep at night.

1:45:491:45:50

The man says he'll never sleep at night.

1:45:501:45:53

I could kill you any time.

1:45:531:45:56

He says he could kill him any time.

1:45:561:45:59

You may be right there, Mr Mason.

1:45:591:46:02

You could kill him, but you'll never kill us all.

1:46:021:46:04

Why wait? Here. Do it now.

1:46:111:46:16

Go on. Go on. Take what I owe you.

1:46:161:46:20

Take it out of this. Go on!

1:46:201:46:22

Do it. Fucking go on! Do it!

1:46:221:46:25

Consider this as your funeral.

1:46:271:46:30

And consider me as your chief mourner.

1:46:331:46:37

Come on.

1:47:491:47:51

We'll fix you up.
