GUNSHO REPEATED GUNSHOTS

Oh, hi, Karen. How is he?

He's all right.

Hiya. Daddy gives you a big kiss.

Where are the boys?

Oh, they're out playing.

They're not outside.

I went and looked.

Are they in the garden?

Look, they're just boys,

they'll be back.

Oh, Jesus.

Hey!

I don't believe this.

They'll be back, they're just boys.

What the hell does that mean?!

Shaun's only five.

God, no wonder Ian ended up

how he did.

I'm going out to find them, OK?

I won't be long.

Just finish your tea for your gran.

CALM MUSIC PLAYS

Shaun!

What've you been doing?

Bad boy!

Where's Robert?

Shaun, where is Robert?

He's out there somewhere.

Oh, there you are.

I told you he'd be OK.

He's a big boy.

You can't mollycoddle him.

Take your jacket off, Shaun.

Well, Robert's still not back, is he?

Oh, Jesus!

GATE CLICKS:

Where the hell have you been?!

Drop that!

Robert, drop it!

Give me that gun!

Give me the gun! Get inside!

Straight to bed!

Where have you been?!

Do you want a cup of tea?

No, thanks. I'm tired.

I'm going to bed.

Night, dear.

I'll just throw it

and hit that tree.

Mum, why is it the boys always get

to see Dad? It's unfair.

No, they don't.

But you'll get to come next time,

OK? Promise.

Robert.

Oh, come on.

Robert, come on.

CHILDREN CHATTER

They make the house strong.

So the wolf can't

huff and puff it down.

What's that?

This? Oh, I hurt me hand.

Me wrist.

How did that happen?

I just fell over. Landed funny,

coming down the stairs.

Were you in a fight?

No.

Lan?

No...

I don't fight, do I?

A car crash.

A car crash in prison? I wish.

I'm trying to car crash out

the prison.

Any news?

No.

Stephanie's got a boyfriend.

You're joking?

No.

What's he called?

Ollie.

Ollie.

He's nice.

How old is he?

Seven.

Seven?

She's ten.

A toyboy. She's got a toyboy.

Bloody hell.

He's nice, though, isn't he?

They've been kissing.

Whoa!

I don't wanna hear this!

It's true.

No, don't tell me this.

How's school?

All right.

Yeah? You being good boys?

No.

No? OK.

I've been pinching bonbons

from the shop.

Bonbons. Sweetie bonbons.

He was stealing.

You've been stealing from the shop?

What have I told you about stealing?

Don't do it.

Yeah, don't do it.

You'll end up in here.

I'm serious, OK?

Cos he copies you.

Do you understand?

Don't copy him.

I'm serious, OK?

He's copying you.

Don't... All right.

I said he's copying...

He isn't copying me.

He is copying you.

Well, I'm telling him now.

No more.

Do you understand?

OK, so promise me you're not going

to do it any more.

Promise. Say it.

I promise you I won't do it

any more.

And you too, all right?

I missed you on Christmas Day,

though.

I missed you too, I did.

Did you?

I missed you.

I missed you too.

Missed you too.

And you, I missed you too.

HUBBUB:

That's 2, please.

Are you happy with the bottle?

Good evening, good evening.

I'm all right, how are you?

Hey, how are you?

How are you?

Good. I'll just be with you

in a minute.

I look forward to it.

That's 6, please.

What would you like?

Er...

A pint of lager.

There you go.

Thank you.

Do you want a drink?

No, no, I don't drink on the job.

Really?

Thanks. So, how was your day?

Long. Good.

What you doing at the weekend?

I don't have weekends, Eddie,

you know that.

Come on, of course you have

weekends. Everyone has weekends.

No. Not when you're married with

four kids, you don't.

That's true.

It's time you got married.

Looking for the right girl,

you know.

Getting over the hill, aren't you?

How's Ian?

He's all right.

Will you drop me

at the end of the road?

Why I don't just take you home?

It's stupid.

Just drop me at the end of the road.

Thanks.

It's all right.

OK.

Night.

Give me a call.

Hi, Louise.

Hiya.

I'm sorry I'm late.

That's fine.

How were the kids?

They're all in bed. Fine.

That's great.

Do you want a cup of tea?

Yes, please.

I'll get your money for you.

OK.

TV BLARES:

You should be fast asleep by now.

Come on. Robert, get in bed.

Night-night, Shaun.

Night-night.

Night-night.

See you in the morning.

Come on, Robert.

None of your nonsense.

Under the covers.

That's it. That's a good boy.

Night-night.

Robert! Shaun! Come on.

Sit down, Katrina.

Shaun, give me the milk.

Come on.

Wait!

I don't want to see Dad.

Robert, your daddy wants to see you.

He's looking forward to seeing you,

Robert.

You spoke to him last night

on the phone. What did he say?

He said, "Come and see me tomorrow. "

Which is today.

That's it.

I want to get to Stocken prison,

but there's five of us, is that OK?

Yeah, sure.

Looking forward to seeing your dad?

It's been a while.

Morning.

Morning.

And your number?

LE7442.

Got any jewellery on you?

Just my watch.

Do you require a locker?

Uh, yes, please.

Thank you very much.

Straight down to that gate there.

That's it, just come forward.

Put your arms out. Thank you.

If you can turn round, please.

Thank you.

If you'd like to go up.

Your turn, arms up.

Don't try and distract a dog

while he's working. Charlie...

He likes you.

Hey!

How you doing?

Hey, kids.

Hello, look at you.

How you doing, gorgeous? You OK?

Oh, look how big you've got,

look at your hair.

You've all grown. You all right,

darling? What's the matter?

Nothing.

What's the matter?

He doesn't want his jumper on.

He's been crying.

Oh, no, why?

The policeman told me to.

What, he told you to keep it on? Oh.

He told me to put it on.

Oh, babe, it's all right.

Now Katrina's gonna start.

Oh, don't cry,

there must be a reason.

I'm sure it'll be OK

to take it off.

It's because we've been

waiting on you.

And they're tired from the journey.

Hey, come here. Good to see you.

How are you?

How was the journey?

It was long.

How come you're late?

We had to get two trains and a bus,

and you know...

We don't get that long, Karen.

What's that on his hair?

I knew you wouldn't like that.

Zigzag.

A zigzag?

Robert's got the same,

show your dad.

Have you got? Oh, my God!

You look like Zorro's had a go

at your head.

Hey.

Not allowed to do that. Sorry.

Can you keep seated, please?

You're gonna get me into trouble.

Cheers, boss.

Who can see the sea?

Me!

Come on, Steph.

I found the sea!

There's one.

Bobbing up and down in the water.

Look, there's his head.

SEALS BARK:

Seals!

Seals!

Name?

Ferguson.

OK, just go round that side

and the gents will be with you.

Just follow us this way, please.

If you'd just like to take

that seat in front of here.

Thanks a lot.

Morning, what's your name, please?

Ferguson.

You understand that drugs

outside of jail

are stronger than those inside

and may lead to overdose?

Yeah.

Sign that and say you understand

that, please.

All right.

Cheers.

Have a good day.

Thank you.

Daddy!

Nice to see you.

Daddy! Daddy!

Hey, Shaun. Look at you.

Look at the size of you.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Hey, that's my seat.

What's he doing in my chair?
