A Very British Gangster Page #4

---

that's what they deserved.

They did it to someone else,

and they get back what they've done.

- Did you ever kill a man?

- No.

Did you ever order a man to be killed?

Can't answer questions like that,

can I, really?

You can't answer questions like that.

I'd be arrested.

It's been alleged I have, but...

If you allegedly ordered

the execution of a man,

would you allegedly feel guilty about that?

If I was going to do something like that,

that person would have to

have done something really bad.

Not a silly thing...

something really, really serious.

Then, yeah, I wouldn't think twice about it.

How do you sleep at night?

Laid out on my bed, straight.

There's gonna be 11 of these

in the next few weeks.

We're gonna convert them

into cash carrying vans.

These back doors will be sealed up.

These are getting sealed up

with steel inside it.

And then we got all this coming out,

we're building cages here.

One man will remain in the back of the van,

one man gets out,

will lift up the shutters,

drop the money in or out, put it down.

We're offering a cheaper service

because I think Securicor

and Group 4 are too expensive.

They're 75 quid each, them.

It is secure because they've got

to get the fencing up yet.

It's got cameras in it.

All bullet-proof windows going on this side.

They can't sledge through it.

Same with this here.

Can't come through this side.

The desk go in here,

and they'll just hand the money out.

There'll be little shutters on it,

put the bags out to them.

There's also 5,000 safe deposit boxes

going in downstairs.

So you can leave all your deeds in there,

your passports, anything of value.

Half of them will probably

put drugs and guns in them.

Be advised not to leave

any money or jewelry

because we'll not take responsibility for it.

- This is my undercover unit.

- What's up?

Come to say hello

for washing your windows.

- Oh, nice one.

- Just washed your windows.

Can you give us a lift

back to ours now, Dom?

All this food is paid for by me,

by generosity.

Are you eating that, Sam, or what?

- Dad! Dad, throw me on.

- You know what?

I won't throw you on there,

I'll just throw you across the floor.

Yeah, my mates asked me

to whack you for them.

Did they?

You're not very good, are you?

Believe it or not, Dom, we're a nice family.

We don't do everything nice,

but we do look after each other.

We look after our friends.

We come out at 3 or 4 in the morning.

We stop all the burglary.

We stop most of the filthy

f***ing drugs hanging about.

You still seem to be

very strong in Manchester.

Oh, yeah. We're still strong.

It's not just we're strong.

We've got lots of strong people round us.

It's not just that we're strong, anyway.

We've got lots of strong,

loyal people round us.

We'll always have that.

If they think they can just

take one of us out and it's over,

then they're silly f***ing people.

Very silly people.

Yeah, let's do one

one of the prisoners sung years ago.

It's called "Standing Here Naked."

It's about the strip cells.

Standing here naked,

my clothes are on the floor

Two screws search my body,

two more stand by the door

They laugh and they snigger

The governor's hateful crew

Your body's ours to violate

There's nothing you can do

You can take me and beat me

again and again

But you'll never take my dignity,

you'll never see my pain

For all you evil warders

that play this evil game

It's I that stands here naked,

it's you that stands in shame

Yeah! That's it!

Yeah, I'm just heading into court now.

- Listen, good luck for today, yeah?

- Yeah. Cheers.

I'll give you a ring later, buddy.

I'm on my way down there now.

All right.

Dominic Lattlay Fottfoy,

go to court number 3.

Shouldn't take much longer now.

So what's happened?

Jury's gone out for their considered verdict.

Sent a note in...

This is my brother Dessie.

I have to take this call. Dessie?

The jury's just come back in.

They've been sent home by the judge,

but they did send a letter in,

which is encouraging.

They said, "Is it possible to find one guilty

and one not guilty on count 4?"

I'm here to give my side of the story.

The other fella's not here.

Kid? I'll call you back one minute.

So one of you, it seems,

is going to be declared innocent.

Yeah.

You can't send an innocent man down.

He was only picking up foreign currency.

Only down there for security.

Yes! Nice one, Steve!

Yeah. Come, let's go.

I've only just come out of court.

Not guilty.

- Tell us what happened.

- Unbelievable.

I just come back

with a not guilty verdict,

which was the right verdict

to come back with.

At the end of the day,

my solicitors and my barrister

did the investigation for that case

to prove my case was innocent.

- Nothing else, nothing short, nothing less.

- What now?

I'm going to go back because

they're sorting out my expenses.

It's cost me a lot of money, this trial.

To British justice!

To British justice!

And he's in the building.

Give it up!

Thank you for everyone coming tonight.

As you know, I was on

a very serious charge down in London

for a charge I never knew about.

I went down there as security.

Someone else was picking up some drugs.

I thought it was a load of money.

I'm talking a load of bullshit,

but who gives a f***?

All right. Enjoy yourselves, eat the food,

don't wait for me 'cause I just had

some chips on the way up.

This is dedicated to the Customs and Excise.

We can't go on together

With suspicious minds

And we can't build our dreams

On suspicious minds

Oh, let our love survive

Or dry the tears from your eyes

Don't let a good thing die

When, honey, you know

I've never lied to you

Yeah, yeah

Were caught in a trap

A customs one!

You've got to get your act together

and do your own stuff.

You go round to the houses and say,

"We want some money for fireworks."

If they say, "Get to f***,"

you say, "You get to f***

because we run this area, not you."

- Local drug dealer.

- Yeah, guys, stop...

That better not be on!

These kids have been

selling drugs round here.

I tell them not to sell them,

but they don't listen.

I don't do nothing.

This guys the biggest

drug dealer in Manchester

- and he keeps it on the D low, this guy.

- That's what I'm saying.

Do I look like a drug dealer?

Have you seen me? Come on.

They know you're lying now.

You're a grass, aren't you, Michael?

Always getting arrested,

never gets charged.

I wonder why.

You know what it is with him?

He's known as what we call

a sweet grass.

What do you mean, a sweet grass?

He says things, pretending like, "Oh, no,"

but then the police get to hear about it.

Shut up!

I'll say on camera,

he has slept with me several times.

Don't chat sh*t! Oh, no!

- Why have you gone red?

- Why have I gone red?

'Cause I don't want to look

like a puff on national TV!

That's why!

I had 12 of these cups when I first come in.

Now I've got f***ing two left.
