A Very British Gangster Page #6

and then I'm going to buy

a pile of pubs and clubs in Manchester,

and then I'm going to design my own train,

design my own plane,

buy a pink hummer,

a Porsche 911, a Range Rover,

and my very own boat.

Abramovitch, like Abramovitch,

with his big f***ing Russian yacht.

I've not seen him,

he's probably on the rock somewhere.

He's, uh, he's disappeared.

He comes out when he's got no money,

and he manages to get some.

Is he just lost, then,

on the crack, Dessie, then?

Totally gone off the rails.

He's, uh, he's on drugs.

It's a shame, really,

'cause he had such a big name,

and, uh, now his name's sh*t.

At the end of the day,

it's a dangerous drug to mess around with.

A few people say you should help him,

but you can't.

They have to say it themselves.

They have to say that's it,

I'm f***ing finished.

And he keeps telling me, "I'm off it,

I've been off it now 5 or 6 weeks,"

but he hasn't he's a f***ing liar.

He's always lying. They're always born liars,

them kind of people.

Once again another Noonan trial,

and no witnesses.

Just lucky, aren't I?

Just lucky people.

It's not just one witness.

I understand it's seven or eight.

Eight witnesses have decided

to leave the country.

All of them have left the country.

That has been confirmed by the courts.

They must've had, I don't know,

a tour package.

They must've got a cheap deal.

The more go,

the cheaper it is, isn't it.

Is the back window open?

The back door?

Because it looks like the police

just whacked up. Open the door.

Mike, d*ckhead, Mike. Come, hurry up.

The Volvo, you d*ckhead.

F*** me.

Are they still there?

I was coming out to wind them up then.

I thought I was getting nicked.

The difference is with Dom,

he's got no one to work his back.

Whereas I've got my grafters

and all these.

He's only got his family,

we've got boys and family.

Anyway if Dom goes down,

I will take over.

At the end of the day, it'll be mine.

Everything will be mine

The case is, against me,

that I am in possession of a telephone

which can be linked to the persons

who abducted somebody.

But so what? A phone?

You could have ended up with that phone.

It's like me now giving you the phone.,

and then a week later, you're arrested,

and you gotta explain

where's it come from.

Now they've asked for

police protection on the jury.

I mean, what's all that about?

What are they trying to say?

That we're going to intimidate the jury?

Hello? No, Paddy, Paddy.

I'm on trial at the moment.

I'm at court every day.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,

Friday. I'm on a six week trial, yeah?

So I got to deal with it when I can get back

in time, when the case gets adjourned.

Paddy, I'm only doing

my best for you, Paddy.

At least you got a big check

to come out to you for Christmas.

Paddy, I'm under a lot of stress, yeah?

All right, then.

Not as much as me Paddy, you're not

expecting 20 years next week, are you?

Right then! F***ing prick.

Shut them f***ing dogs up.

Get this hairy f***ing monster out...

How did your barrister

sum up for you?

He summed up very well.

I was kind of surprised 'cause, uh,

he convinced me that I wasn't there,

that's how good he was.

Do you think he convinced

the jury you weren't there?

You've only got to

put doubt in one man.

You never know with these juries.

Like I said, they find guilty people innocent

and innocent people guilty.

Another victory, another Noonan set up,

and I'm coming home.

I said to them cops

when I left that courtroom,

I walked right up to them in the box

I said you went for me, you lost.

You're a f***ing rat.

This is probably...

no, it's the the jury.

They want to know where the payment is.

Hello?

Excuse me?

Excuse me?

Yes, sir?

Can I have a pint...

A bottle of Beck's, please?

We're not dinosaurs

and we'll never be extinct.

It's not that we have luck,

it's just that the jury believes

we are innocent people.

Would someone ever take out

a Noonan in Manchester?

I hope so and I hope it's me first.

I'm f***ing fed up, f***ing fed up with life.

Got no money,

not got a pot to piss in.

Got a shitty car, married, kids,

mortgage, fed up.

If there's anyone thinking of

taking the Noonan's out,

can you take me first please,

but please do it as quickly as possible.

In fact, I'll even come to you if I have to.

Just give us a phone call.

I'll meet you anywhere you want.

And make sure it's behind the back

of the ear and it's f***ing clean.

And don't let me linger, for f*** sake.

I am a whinging bastard.

Please make me the first.

But in the mean time,

if you want to set Dominic before me,

then you can have him.

You can't take out the Noonans.

We've not done anything to be took out.

No one wants to hurt us

at the end of the day.

And if they did,

by God, there'd be some fireworks.

- Would there?

- Oh.

I've got a bigger army than the police.

We've got more guns than the police.

Silly bastards.

I'm down to 25 murders.

What a load of bollocks, isn't it?

24, wasn't it you done?

No, I didn't do 24.

I didn't do Ritz-Carlton.

How many was it alleged you did?

Ah, for those. The police...

The police reckon 23.

They reckon I'm behind most of

the murders in Manchester.

And are you?

No.

He's a good Catholic.

I'm a catholic,

I don't believe in a life for a life.

I don't believe in taking life.

Dominic, tell me what happened?

I just got a phone call off Sandra

saying that, uh,

he's just been stabbed

in the last 10, 15 minutes.

He'd just been stabbed,

and she had a phone call off him

saying he was dying in the street.

She told me, she said he's lying

on the floor now, his guts hanging out.

I don't know what to do.

Jesus Christ. Jesus.

He's not going to die is he?

I don't know Donal.

There'll be f***ing trouble if he does.

There'll be a lot of trouble if he does.

An ambulance has pulled up top the line.

I'll check it first.

I seen two ambulances

pulled up seconds behind each other.

The first one stopped,

and as they opened the doors,

I just saw a man lying on there.

I couldn't see his face.

I did think that was Dessie at first.

Just then I saw all the police

surrounding the ambulance.

Then I said to a copper

"Is that Dessie Noonan?"

He went "Yeah. Why?"

I said "He's my brother."

They started pumping on him.

The doctors got in there

and started pressing on him.

And I could just see that he was dead,

I could see that he was dead.

His stomach had swollen up

It looked like...

He was a big guy anyway

but he looked twice the size.

And then afterwards,

when I got told that he'd bled inside,

I realized then why he'd swollen up.

'Cause all the blood stayed inside.

It didn't go anywhere.

I went to the scene where it happened.

Within minutes, I found out who done it.

He's history.

He'll...

He's finished.

He knows he's finished.

That's just life.

I was in shock.

I mean, I was still...

I'd had a beer the night before

and I was still feeling the beer.
