So with all the money you've made,

you're still making money,

you're still active.

Is that the message you're giving out?

I'm still dangerous.

Anyone's dangerous...

but there's some that are really dangerous.

Are you really dangerous?

Yeah.

And the next generation

is ready and waiting?

Yeah. They're already primed.

So how many is in your crew?

There's about 20, but I always keep

the young ones around me

because they're more loyal,

more trustworthy.

I've got a lot of respect for them

and they've got a lot of respect for me.

I know that they will watch my back

and I will have to respect them

and watch their back.

And they know I've had their backs

many times for them

because I know that they will die for me

and I'll die for them.

They'll shoot for me and I'll shoot for them.

Let's all get in the car quick.

He's in the van.

Where's Adam and Michael?

I don't know where Dominic is.

Shut up. Shut the f*** up.

You nearly got me arrested

for your shouting!

He poked me in the f***ing face,

you little knobhead.

Don't take me for some

little d*ckhead, right!

Don't take me for some little d*ckhead.

I was getting griped up for f*** all,

so don't take me for some dick.

You shouting nearly got me

done for on the street.

Because I'm shouting at you...

Because I'm shouting at you,

I nearly got myself arrested.

You were told to give your name

and information, yeah?

Give the information

and shut your f***ing mouth.

I f***ing gave my information.

You weren't getting grabbed up,

you little knobhead,

so shut your f***ing mouth!

They said he'll be out Monday now.

They've taken the car, have they?

We've got to get our van now.

That's been clamped, sorry to say.

- I asked.

- It's not. It's not.

Dom said it might be...

Steve said they clamp them for the day...

You can't do a right here, can you?

No. Go on, just do one anyway.

We was walking up the road, yeah,

to collect the car, to collect the van,

and an Audi's pulled up,

a knob in an Audi Estate's pulled up,

skidded, jumped out,

said, "No one move.

"Stand again the wall. Freeze.

"Put your hands up.

Let me see your hands," and all that.

So why were you two guys fighting?

That was just a little silly argument

blown out of proportion.

The police were like...

He's giving the police loads, yeah?

I'm just trying to calm down,

saying, the more you shout,

the more you're just gonna

get yourself f***ed.

They'll just arrest you.

They'll say, "Look, sunshine,"

throw you in the back of the van,

and he's riding f***ing...

But there's a way of doing it

and there's a way

of explaining things to people,

and poking somebody in the face

in a public place just pissed me off.

Andy, how do you feel about being the boss?

We're the boss.

Me and him are the oldest, simple as.

And we're the younger brothers of the family.

Thank you.

Have you been arrested before?

I have done, yeah, and I've been

into a young offenders institute.

- And how old are you now?

- Seventeen.

You're 17.

So, if you weren't working for Dom,

what would you be doing?

Acting.

Acting? Great.

So who are you acting for?

I've done things for Red Productions,

Love In the 21 st Century,

I've done adverts with Roy Keane

and David Beckham.

Really?

I've tried getting him in,

but he won't get off his arse

and get it into gear four and do his lines.

Whoa!

Why do I need to sit and stand

and just speak a load of bullshit

into a camera?

I've got better things to do with my time.

You'd make more money from acting

than you would from criminality.

I wouldn't say that.

- But I'm not a criminal.

- Okay.

You're just assuming I'm a criminal.

I'm not.

But you're part of the crew.

Are you part of crew?

Part of Dominic's crew?

Dominic's...

I'm not saying I'm part of his cr...

I'm friends with Dominic,

do you know what I mean?

- He's looked after me.

- You clearly get respect when you go...

Oh, yeah, you do.

Everywhere we go,

everywhere we've been with him, isn't it?

They always... Everyone shakes

your hand everywhere you go.

I suppose you do get a bit of a big head

standing next to him and all that.

He's genuine, man.

He's a proper caring person.

He's top.

Do you think there'll ever be a day

when one of you guys

are gonna turn grass on the other?

- No.

- Really?

Every criminal gang always has a grass in it.

No.

Well, unlucky for those that do,

then, isn't it?

I was kept in the cell Saturday night

and Sunday night.

No visits, no phone calls,

no letters, no mails,

no newspapers to read.

Not even a change of clothing

was allowed to be handed in.

Other prisoners got that,

but not me, of course.

You know what? The police harassment

of DJ Noonan Security.

You know all the vehicles,

you know they're all insured,

you know they're all taxed.

You ever think of going straight?

I've thought about it many times,

but sometimes it's difficult.

I'm trying to set up a security firm,

but the police won't let us go straight.

It's the way the police is

around here in Manchester.

Yeah, but the going straight

is a personal decision, isn't it?

You could go straight.

You choose not to.

No, you can go straight,

but it's just that we've got that name.

Got that reputation.

The reputation goes before the name.

But you made that reputation,

along with your brothers.

Maybe so, but at the end of the day

we don't really want to keep that reputation.

It's just stuck with us.

Stuck with us through

generations of uncles, as well.

And now our nephews

are gonna suffer the same.

As we get older, they'll suffer the same.

So, do you think you were always

destined to be a criminal

and you are always destined

to continue that work

and not go straight?

You never know what's round the corner.

You never know what...

Might win the lottery.

I've got a f***ing leather sofa

that I need to sell,

but it's f***ing bank holiday and sh*t.

No one's got any f***ing money.

Just talk to them, just tell them the story,

and then I'll go and talk to the other fellow

and f***ing get the payments down.

Yeah. Well, I can try.

I can get 500 for tomorrow morning.

All right, I'll give you a call

in about an hour,

let you know what's happening.

- All right. Cheers, Dom.

- All right. So long.

This guy f***ing got himself

into some serious trouble.

He's gone to some f***ing

really heavy gangster

and got himself into some

serious f***ing debt.

He's offered the guy nine grand

for a two-grand f***ing loan.

The f***ing knob.

Just for the record,

what made you... possessed you

to go into a post office with no weapon

and expect to walk out?

F***ing stupidity, I think.

I walked in, put the bag in

through the tray and said,

"Put the money in the bag

and don't do anything stupid."

He went, "What?"

So I repeated myself.

He went, "F*** off!"

Pushed the button.

And I was like, "F***!"

'Cause I've seen it on TV

where the f***ing...

the shutters come down
