for that favour.

No, I ain't got it, but...

it won't take me long to get it.

Filo.

Yep.

How you gonna get him there?

I know how to get him there.

All right, man, it's... your funeral.

I've got a proposition for you.

Call it a peace offering.

But if I give this to you...

me and you, our problems are done.

When you get there, ask for Big Man.

Give me your bag! Give me the bag, man.

I'm sorry. Just give me the bag.

Hello, police? I've just been robbed

by a man with a gun.

He's going into number 40, Compromise

Avenue. I need help right now.

You're not one of our regular boys.

You must be the geezer

Omen said was coming.

Yeah, yeah.

My name's Big Man.

I'm here to check Ike and Andre.

About what?

Nice.

OK.

- Get the f*** over here!

- What the f*** is wrong with you, man?

You got the time, blood?

You in a rush, blood?

Nah, man. I'm just asking.

All right, come.

Wait there, yeah?

What you saying, blood?

- So you're Big Man, yeah?

- Yeah, man.

So what you want from us?

Talk then, man.

Me and my business partner

heard of you.

We thought it might be beneficial

for all of us if we come work with you.

- So where's your partner?

- He's coming.

Why do you keep looking at the clock,

blood? There somewhere you need to be?

- Nah, I'm just...

- Come on, then. Tell us.

Yeah. You tell us what you can do for us

that we can't do for ourselves.

Didn't Omen and Dabs tell you?

You need to speak to them...

Really? And honestly,

I don't never see us working together.

Think I'd have a f***ing monkey like you

on my level?

Don't look to me for support,

you know, blood. His sister's my girl.

And you know what? I don't really

work with man like you, you know.

See what Dabs has to say about this.

- Who are you?

- Where's Big Man?

Nah. It's answering machine.

Listen, I don't give a f***...

What the f*** do you want, man?

I haven't done...

Shut your f***ing mouth.

Put your hands on the table.

Put your hands on the table.

Now, you're gonna keep quiet.

And you're gonna stay in here.

Or man is gonna go on different with you,

you understand me, blood?

F***!

What the f*** is going on?!

Back up! You stay there.

You stay on the f***ing floor!

- You set me up.

- I didn't, Curtis, I swear.

What the f*** is going?

All of you, shut the f*** up.

- You!

- Nah, man.

You. You.

Never f*** with a guy

who ain't got nothing to lose.

And you two, you were gonna send

my own brother to come try kill me?

Are you dizzy, blood?

- All of you is f***ing dead, man.

- Yeah?

Blood, can dead men do this?

Open it! Police!

F***!

Down! Get down!

F***.

Hi. Sam... Um, you said

you had your mum's phone.

Take him.

I got problems.

But I'm sorting 'em.

Open this!

Listen, Jay's after you,

so just be careful.

Um...

I know you said you missed,

like, going cinema and that,

so I've booked a couple of tickets.

Thought we could just go tomorrow night,

just as mates?

Please.

Call me when you get this.

If you want.

Out! Police!

Police! Get down!

You think I forgot you, blood?

Is that what you think?

We don't need to do this, Jay.

I'll kill you, blood.

I'm gonna kill you, blood!

You think that's

faster than this, blood?

- Trife wouldn't want this. That's what he...

- Shut your f***ing mouth!

Remember that night, blood?

- Yeah.

- And what? You think you're a big man?

No, man. Look, I...

I never wanted him to die, blood.

What?

You think this is just about him?

This is about me!

Why you think I'm here, huh?

Like this?

You did this.

You made this happen.

I f***ing hate you for it.

I'm here not just for you,

I'm here because of you!

- Then I beg you, let's stop.

- That's right, blood, beg!

I wanna hear you.

I wanna hear you beg like Trife did.

If that's what you want, blood.

I'm begging, man, don't do this. Please.

I'm still gonna kill you, blood.

I'm gonna take your f***ing life,

like you took Trife's.

Like you took mine!

Just f***ing do it, man,

and get it over with.

Six and a half years

and that's what you still want.

You think you're a bad man, Jay?

I thought I was a f***ing bad man,

remember that?

I thought I was f***ing bad,

and they put me in a big-man jail,

and look what happened to me.

You see this?

This is from where I tried to kill myself

because I couldn't cope in there.

You see these?

Look at them. Look at them!

I cut my arms so I wouldn't give them the

satisfaction of dealing out the most pain.

You know why they did it to me? Because

I thought I was f***ing bad, and I wasn't.

Now you wanna be bad. You think

you're big, Jay. You wanna be a big man.

You wanna be what I thought I was.

You wanna be me!

Then you f***ing do it, blood.

You see what happens to you.

Is this what you want?

- See, you're just like me, man.

- No, I'm nothing like you.

You ain't a killer, blood.

You're like me.

You're nothing.

I never meant to kill Trife, blood.

And I'm so sorry.

This ain't over, blood.

You really think this is over, blood?

This ain't f***ing over, blood!

Where the f*** you going, blood?

You ain't got nowhere to go.

You ain't got no friends.

You ain't got no one.

This ain't over!

Yeah, it is.

Thought we could just go

tomorrow night, just as mates? Please.

Call me when

you get this.
