Adulthood Page #3

Synopsis: Six years after KiDULTHOOD, Sam Peel is released from jail for killing Trife, he realizes that life is no easier on the outside than it was on the inside and he's forced to confront the people he hurt the most. Some have moved on, others are stuck with the repercussions of his actions that night, but one thing's for certain - everyone has been forced to grow up. Through his journey Sam struggles to deal with his sorrow and guilt and something else he didn't expect - those seeking revenge. As he's pursued by a new generation of bad boys, Sam sets about trying to get the message across to his pursuers that they should stop the violence, much like Trife tried to tell him all those years ago. Can Sam stop the cycle of violence and make something positive from the destruction he caused or will his journey into Adulthood end here?

What do you want her for?

Who are you?

Jay.

I don't wanna get involved, man.

I'm not scared.

But I'm about positivity,

like that black Jedi guy from Star Wars.

All right, I'll see you later. I'll see you

at Hammersmith later. I'll be there, man!

- Robert, what is going on?

- Low it, babe, yeah?

You don't remember me, do you?

Alex. Lexi, innit? Becky's cousin.

There's no reason you should. I was

two years younger and you was a c*nt.

I left in year 11

while you was still in sixth form.

Picking on boys

and trying to f*** girls in year 10...

- So what d'you wanna see her for?

- I thought she might know who's after me.

Yeah, she might, but I ain't seen her.

No one has. She's f***ed off, innit.

Look, yeah, I didn't know Trife well,

but... it's f***ed-up he's dead.

- So do you know anything?

- Why the f*** would I know anything?

I know some of them lot from school

and through her,

but not well enough to know

who's after you.

Or to give a f*** for that matter.

Well, that's it, innit?

What else do you want me to say?

You've gone jail, come out - what?

I ain't got nothing against you, but I don't

think we got anything more to chat about.

Ask that girl you was banging,

they was mates.

Claire? I asked that chick already.

She don't know nothing.

That girl was grimy.

Always losing her knickers. After lunch

she'd not know where she'd left 'em.

I remember you now.

You was always on your own, innit?

Yeah. My boyfriend went to a different

school, so I didn't chat with boys.

Girls didn't like me, so...

I got to the point where I did more things

to piss 'em off. You get me?

F*** it. If they ain't gonna love you,

make 'em hate.

I beg you a browns, Lex?

Who's your friend?

No. He ain't a friend.

Cool.

Yout!

- Safe for what you did, blood.

- I didn't do nothing, man.

Listen, I ain't trying to be

spars with you, you know.

You don't have to affiliate yourself

with me. I'm just saying safe, that's all.

Don't worry about it, boys.

It gets better.

I'm getting out tomorrow. Can't wait

to see my kids. You got any kids?

Know anyone that's got any kids?

Suit yourself.

Oi, Lex! What about Alisa?

You know some of them lot.

Can you get her to speak to me?

I've not spoken to her but I could get her

number. You know she had a daughter?

- Yeah. Can I have it?

- Her daughter? Oh, her number? No.

I'll get to her, see if she wants

to chat to you, but I doubt it.

I'm not high on the list of people

she wants to chat to either.

Here what. I got my mum's mobes,

I'll give you the digits.

I beg you bell mans

if she wants to speak or anything.

Yeah, safe for doing this, yeah?

Hey, can you get any gear and that?

Like, cheap?

Nah, man.

Oi, what's it like

knowing you've killed someone?

Blood, I need that ting off you now.

I don't give a f***.

I want him dead.

I want him dead today.

Kill my boy. Now he's back in the ends

like he's big and I'm not gonna do nothing!

Just cool down, man.

- I'll give you seven for everyting.

- Cool, man.

- You gonna help me with this or what?

- Jay, man just got out of jail today.

If something happens to him,

friends are gonna come for you.

I don't care, blood. I'll go jail.

You know what, I'm gonna give you

the piece, cos me and you are boys.

Just don't bring no f***ing drama

to my door, you hear me?

Course not.

You just gotta understand,

This boy... killed my tight bredren, man.

Listen, why don't you buy

a couple of the boys we got?

They'll do anything for a bit of cash.

Why don't you get 'em to do the job

for you, save you the trouble?

- And if they get caught, who gives a f***?

- Who?

Don't put no pussyholes on it

who'll take my money and not do nothing.

This lot won't f*** about,
