I wouldn't have done that.

Oh, no, mate.

F*** it.

# There is blood on my face #

# There is cursed in my eye #

# There is no one

# But no one said good-bye #

# This is how I start

another day in my kingdom #

# There is hate in my heart #

# This is how my day starts #

# There is blood on my hands #

# From the murder of a man #

# This is how I start

another day in my kingdom #

Lads!

Yeah.

Here now.

I told you an hour.

Where have you been?

The park.

What's that?

A mask.

Take it off.

What are you doing

with that on?

Where'd you get that from?

A soldier.

What?

A soldier.

What is that?

A knife.

I know it's a knife.

What you doing with a knife?

Soldier gave us them.

What do you mean,

a soldier gave it to you?

He said he knew Dad.

He said he knew Dad, did he?

Really?

Mark!

Mark!

What?

Come down here now!

Come on. We're gonna

drive down there now.

Definitely not

trash diving, is it?

No.

Come on, mate.

You'll know him

if you see him?

Yeah.

Hi. Can I help ya?

Hello, love.

Is Mark available?

No, he's just gone out

with the lads, actually.

Oh, that's a shame.

Can I tell him

who's calling?

Yeah, my name's Richard.

I'm an old friend of his

from years ago.

Was you in the park

this morning?

Yeah, yeah.

Did you meet my lads?

I did.

Absolutely brilliant lads.

Yeah.

Crackers.

They are crackers.

Yeah, they've been

shouted at today.

Oh, right.

Yeah, 'cause they

came back with a mask

and a knife.

So I was a bit upset,

to be honest.

It was blunt.

I know, but it's a bit

irresponsible, isn't it?

I was really worried.

You're a good mother.

Yeah.

Yeah, I am

a good mother.

Good one, then.

Sorry. Can I ask your

name again?

My name's Richard.

And... just tell him

that you called, yeah?

Yeah. I'll be around anyway.

Right, okay.

Anthony's brother.

Anthony's brother,

right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Ta.

Hello.

What are you doing

sittin' there in

the dark?

I'm waiting for you lot.

How you doing, lads?

All right.

You gonna go upstairs and play

on your computer before tea?

Okay.

There's no one up there.

No, that's 'cause

he's been here.

He what? Do you mean

he's been here?

No, as soon as you left,

he came.

What? Been inside?

No, he didn't come inside.

He was fine.

He wasn't... he wasn't...

It was a bit weird.

What'd he say?

He said, "Tell him

Richard called. "

And you don't know him?

No, I've never seen him

before in me life.

Never.

But he did ask for you.

He said, uh,

"He used to knock about with

his brother years ago: Anthony. "

Leave him alone.

What?

Hey, soft, man.

What is it, babe?

What's wrong?

I do know him.

Get off! Get off!

I know who he is.

Anthony.

He was just a kid,

just a... young lad.

I mean, he was a simple kid.

He wasn't...

Do you know what I mean?

He wasn't as...

He was just...

too simple to know

what he was doing.

Until Rich

went in the army.

And Anthony used

to hang about with us, like...

We just had a laugh with him,

we had a laugh with him.

But Sonny was just...

just everything.

Everything was too far.

Everything he took too far.

And Anthony just didn't know

what was happening.

He didn't know where he was.

He was... He wasn't like...

He just didn't

understand at all.

He just... just...

He didn't understand

any of it.

We...

all got in a van and...

we were dropping acid and...

And Sonny gave him some...

And I could see

it was going wrong.

I could see... I could see

Anthony's face,

and it was all...

He was tripping

out of his mind, this kid.

You're all right, mate.

He don't mind me.

Fall in!

No! No!

Anthony, stop shouting.

Because every time you shout,

your mother gets sick.

And then Richard might

get a bullet in the army.

And we don't

want that, do we?

Move from there,

you're dead.

Don't f***in' move!

Come on!

Get a move on!

I was the last one...

I could have stayed.

I could have stayed.

I could have kept with him.

But everybody got

back in the van.

Left him.

I didn't want to leave him.

We found him.

He's killed himself.

He's done himself.

Get up.

Don't make a noise.

Get up.

Where are your

car keys?

If you make a noise,

I'll push this

in your spine.

Get in.

Here.

Do you remember me?

Yeah.

Why have I brought you here?

This is where

Anthony was...

Was?

When he what?

Come on, have the bollocks

to say it.

Where he hung himself.

Why him?

'Cause he was weak.

'Cause he was a spastic.

He wasn't a spastic.

He f***in' was a spastic.

He was a f***in' nana.

He looked up to you.

Well, he was a f***in'

embarrassment to me.

What did you do to him?

What did you do?

We were...

I said you!

What did you f***in' do?

Not them c*cks.

I didn't stop it.

I didn't stop it.

Well, I wish you had...

'cause you could have stopped

a lot of carnage.

What do you mean?

They're all f***in' dead.

I executed them.

And you're the last one.

Now I'm the monster.

Was he calling for me?

When you were torturing him,

was he calling for me?

Yeah.

Was he screaming my name?

Yeah, he was.

He still is.

I love you, Anthony.

I love you, kid,

but I can't do him.

I can't do him.

I'm sorry.

Take this from me.

No.

You take it.

No. I don't want it.

If you don't take this

knife from me,

I'm gonna do something

awful with it.

Take it.

Take it.

Take it.

You...

you were supposed

to be a monster.

Now I'm the f***in' beast.

There's blood on my hands.

Look what you made me do.

No. No.

Come on.

Stick that knife in me.

No. I can't.

Please. I don't know what else

I'm capable of doing.

I've got kids.

I've got children.

Hyah!

I just wanna lie

with my brother.

Where are you?

No.

Yeah.

It's okay. It's okay.

Come on. Please.

Please.

Please.

Look what I've become.

I've done terrible things

with it. Please.

Think of your children.

That's it. Come on.

I want you to help me.

Come on. Come on.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Put that f***in'

knife in me. Come on.

I need you to. There's no

other way to end it.

Think of your children.

Stick it in me, please.

Come on.

Please. Please. Please.

Come on. It's over.

It's over. It's over.

Yeah, yeah. Yes.
