Deadly Intent

Come on!

Come on, move yourself!

DEADLY INTEN Come on, James.

Time for bed.

Do you want a story?

All right, bed.

You can play again

in the morning.

Sleep tight, tiger.

For god's sake!

Sh*t.

You're up early.

All right, now,

I'll push it now then.

Yeah.

Here we go.

Push, hold on.

James!

You're getting soaked!

Inside, now!

Come on.

Let's go and get you dry.

James.

God!

My god, what

have you done now?

Nothing!

This thing weighs a tonne,

you could have been hurt!

I'm sorry, James.

I didn't mean to shout.

I just don't understand...

Leave me alone.

Please, James, just talk to...

Leave me alone.

James, I think it's time...

Sh*t!

My god.

James! James!

Why the hell do you do it?

I didn't do anything!

Well, someone turned

those taps on, James,

and it wasn't me!

I told you, I didn't...

God, you're nearly

gonna get us electrocuted!

How could you be so stupid?

Can you see?

Can I help with that?

No.

Come on.

I could put them away.

F*** off! F*** off!

God, I am sorry, I'm sorry!

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

Hi.

I wasn't expecting you.

No.

Of course, if you'd

been here last night

for dad's do, then you'd know

they didn't wanna

leave the house empty

while they're away.

God. I forgot.

You don't say.

Hi, James.

We need to

stay for a few days,

bit of a plumbing problem.

I can take over, if you like.

No way.

I wasn't trying to

kick you out, Lise.

And it's a try!

Come on.

Gonna get back, yeah?

Take you to another match.

Here we go.

Here it comes, where's he going?

He's going!

Come on, mate.

What's up, mate?

How long are

you gonna be away?

Look...

get the job done,

then I'll be back.

Promise.

See that boat over there?

Yeah.

What's that thing sticking

out of the side of it.

Dunno, could be anything.

Looks like it's

sinking though, look.

Want some chips?

Yeah.

Last one there then!

I'm gonna beat you.

James!

Dad!

James!

What were you thinking?

It was dad! I saw him!

You can't have!

I saw him!

For Christ's sake,

James, your dad is dead.

That was a bit brutal.

He has to accept it.

I just don't know how

to get through to him.

Therapist isn't helping then?

Nothing helps.

Have you tried talking to him?

Okay, okay.

I'm sorry, tiger.

I didn't mean to shout earlier.

This is Ollie.

He was mine when I was little.

I loved him very much.

When I was sad, I used

to hug him really close.

Look, I don't want to

interfere or anything...

Then don't.

Listen, lise.

I'm the only parent

James has got,

so the sooner he accepts

that, the better it's gonna be

for both of us.

Honestly, James is fine.

Don't worry.

You okay?

It's fine.

What's the matter?

I need

to do something.

Like what?

F***ing anything,

I don't know.

It's nearly midnight.

Shall I get you a drink?

No, just f***ing leave it.

Jesus!

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Very funny.

I was just trying

to lighten the mood.

For f***'s

sake, grow up, Lisa.

Bryony, you're

gonna be late for work.

What time is it?

It's 8:
30.

God.

Thanks, Lise.

Fire!

James!

What the hell have

you been doing?

I'll see you later.

Bye, James.

Hi, James.

Can I see?

Is that your dad?

You know, soldiers

don't just kill people.

Sometimes they try to stop

them from getting hurt.

That's what your dad was

doing last time he was away.

He was angry.

Do you ever think he

might have been sad as well?

Sometimes what soldiers

see makes them sad.

No, not sad. Just angry.

Hi, Lise.

Is this yours?

Why has he done that?

James?

James, open the door!

Try talking to him.

I mean it, James.

Open the door now.

Calm down,

this isn't gonna help.

James.

I need to talk to you.

Please, James.

Leave him. He

can't stay in there forever.

James?

Your dinner's nearly ready,

I want you downstairs now.

Sorry I didn't eat much, but...

James!

Come on, James, your

mum's really worried.

James, you

can't cut me out like this.

Look at me.

Look at me. Why did

you bury my bear?

Dad doesn't like girly toys.

Didn't like. Your

dad's gone, James.

No! He's watching me.

You said was watching

me from heaven.

Maybe I did say that...

Soldiers keep us safe

by killing the bad people.

That's right, isn't it.

Hurry up, I can't

be late again!

Come on, can't leave you here.

Yeah, you can.

I can teach him how

to make explosives

from easily obtainable

household ingredients.

What?

Just go, we'll be fine.

Are you sure?

Sh*t!

How could he?

No way, I've just

come up, they weren't there.

They must have been.

I think I

might have noticed.

That's lethal, he

could have killed me.

It wasn't James, it

couldn't have been.

It must have been.

It can't have been.

What are you doing?

I'm calling in sick.

Why?

I can't leave you with this.

With what?

With James, god knows

what he's gonna do next.

I told you, it wasn't James.

Look, just go, we'll be fine.

No, I'm not happy

leaving you here.

Bryony, you need

to go to work.

Just go.

Go! Come on.

Hi, Mike.

Yeah, yeah, I'm good, thank you.

Yeah, actually, I

was just wondering

if there was any chance I

could borrow some of your kit.

Hi.

Hiya.

So?

So what?

So how's he been?

Yeah, fine.

Hasn't murdered

anyone that I know of.

No, don't joke about it.

So, what's he been up to?

He has been helping me.

After the marbles this morning,

I thought we better be prepared.

What?

Do you wanna see?

Okay.

Come on then.

My god.

It's great, isn't it.

James helped me set it up.

For Christ's sake,

this is the last thing he needs.

Come on, kids love

this sort of stuff.

Listen, Lise, he's

not like a normal kid.

He doesn't need any

more crap to deal with.

True, but if it is crap,

then he won't have to

deal with it will he?

Sh*t!

My god!

Why does he do these things?

You don't

know it was James.

Of course it was.

Yeah, but look,

its not smashed.

It's like it's melted.

I so don't need this.

Good morning, sleepyhead.

Do you want some breakfast?

What is it?

We've got cereal,

toast, porridge?

Well, what do you want then?

Can I have some of that?

Yeah, go on then.

Grab out a plate.

Have you tried cooking?

You should, you'd love it.

Dad made really good curries.

Yeah? Nice.

Promised he would teach

me when I was older.

Promised lots of things.

Here, have a big bit.

Thanks.

You're not going back, are you?

No, son. I'm not

going anywhere.

Hate it when you

leave me behind.

You're the only good

thing to come out this mess.

Dad?

No, son, I won't be

going anywhere, I promise.

What is that?

Hi James.

It's a dream catcher.

A what?

A dream catcher.

The Native Americans used them.

But what's it for?

To trap evil spirits.

How?

Dunno, just think

it looks cool.

James?

Lisa?

It is him.

What?

It is James.

I told you!

No no no, not

like that though.

I don't think he even

knows he's doing it.

How do you mean?

Okay, this morning

we were at breakfast

and James got upset,

and then suddenly

all the cutlery just jumped
