- Jack, Dave.

- Hello.

Listen, we're not going to

need you at work today.

Oh, why not?

Or for the foreseeable future.

What've I done?

Don't come to the depot again.

Do you understand?

We'll send you

what you're owed in wages.

Wait. Dave, Dave? Um, uh, just...

Goodbye, Jack.

Oi, mate, it's Jack here.

Hey, um, Dave just called me.

Told me not to come in.

He obviously knows you're

not who you say you are.

Is he wrong?

Chr- Chris?

No, of course he's not.

You've got to just listen to me.

- Where's Michelle?

- What?

Is she hurt?

Have you hurt her, you f***?

How could you ask me that question?

You're a murderer, aren't you?

- Who says?

- Everyone.

How could we have been

so blind to allow you to...

- You've got to please, Chris...

- No, Jack.

I'm done with you.

Chris? Chris, mate. Chris?

[sigh]

[Terry's voicemail]

Sorry I can't take your call...

Oh, for f***'s sake, Terry!

[breathing heavily]

Anything you want to say?

[Men talking all at once]

Do you think you're rehabilitated?

Do your neighbors not

have the right to know?

Sorry I can't take

your call right now.

Oh, f***, Terry.

Just leave your name and number...

Terry, Terry, Terry.

F***, f***, f***!

Sh*t.

No, I ain't that boy.

No, I ain't that boy.

[crying]

No, I ain't that boy.

No, I ain't that boy. I ain't that boy.

F***! F***!

I ain't that boy.

Please.

No!

[sobbing]

Sorry I can't take

your call right now.

Just leave your name and number,

and I'll get back to you as

soon as possible. Thank you. Bye.

Aah!

- What you doing?

- Huh?

That's vandalism.

Have you nothing better to do?

- [laughs]

- What?

How about what you were doing earlier?

Excuse me?

Kissing and stuff. You know.

You did with...

You saw that?

You spying little shitbags.

Hey, watch it.

Don't threaten me.

- I will if I want.

- You won't.

I will if I want.

Who the hell do you think you are?

Look at you.

When's the last time you had a bath?

- Ah...

- Scum.

- What?

- Scum is what you are.

And you.

Why on earth would any girl...

[gasp]

Would any girl what?

Would any girl want to...

- Aah!

- Would any girl what?

Would any girl what?

I'm gonna tell my dad.

Aah!

Get off me! You... aah!

- [growling]

- Get off!

[girl screams]

Come on!

Aah!

Get off!

Get off me! Get off me!

Aah! Aah!

Help! Help me!

- Aah!

- Come on!

Aah! No!

[cough]

- Aah!

- Come on!

Help me! Aah!

[train whistle]

Aah! Oh, f***!

[train horn]

[breathing heavily]

[door opens]

[crying]

Tickets, please.

Ticket, sir.

Oh, can I get one now?

- Sure.

- I had to run for the train.

Where to?

Where are you going to?

All the way.

- Return?

- Sorry, no. Single.

Single.

All the way.

That's 10.30, please.

- Get up.

- Hey!

You f***ing little c*nt.

You f***ing little c*nt.

Why?

- Why'd you do it?

- Do what?

How'd you do it? Was it my laptop?

You shouldn't leave sh*t lying about.

How'd you get the password?

You had it taped

underneath the f***ing thing.

Where's my phone?

Where's my f***ing phone?

Trainer.

Have you any idea

what this has cost me?

Have you any idea what

it's cost that kid?

And what did he cost me?

What?

Him and the others,

what did he cost my mum?

- What the f*** are you talking about?

- She left me.

Ah, she didn't! She took you!

In all that time, you couldn't have

come even once to see me?

What... not once, not even once!

It took me to come to you,

and you don't even want me here!

- What?

- Don't say ya do.

- It's Haddon!

- Who?

Eric, Jack...

whatever his f***ing name is!

Jack... your greatest

f***ing achievement!

- Zeb...

- Get away from me!

[crying]

A monster, Da. A monster over me!

Well, I hope he suffers.

I hope they crucify him!

Do you hear me?

I hope he f***ing rots!

I hope he rots.

Love?

Excuse me, love.

Oh, thank God.

I thought you were dead

there for a second.

This is the end of the line, love.

I'm sorry?

This train doesn't go any further.

Thank you.

## [merry-go-round music]

Hi.

What are you doing here?

- Thinking.

- What about?

About you.

I see you're in the papers again.

Yeah.

It wasn't me that told them.

I never thought it was.

So how come you're here?

I'm escaping.

A good a place as any.

You see the tower?

Yeah, how could I miss it?

You like it?

Oh, I love it.

I would have forgiven you.

Would you?

Given time.

[sniffs]

It's not about you

anymore, though, is it?

No.

Anyway, I've got to go.

You coming this way?

[whispers]

No.

Okay.

I'll see you around, Jack.

I love you.

Damn.

You beat me to it again.

[Jack]

Oi, Terry.

Yeah, they know.

Everyone knows now.

I'm on me own now.

I can't go back...

being that other person

because that other person is dead.

Remember you said that?

Anyway,

sorry I let you down.

Thank you for trying, Terry.

I love you.

Chris, it's Jack.

It was always Jack.

I wanted to tell

you the truth, mate.

I really, really did.

But just because I couldn't

don't mean I lied to you.

I hope you can understand that.

And I hope that you know

just how much you did for me.

So I'm just gonna say goodbye now.

You remember that girl?

Remember we saved that girl, mate?

You remember

that.
