- Location's important, too.

- What?

Well, is it a down-the-alley touch here,

or an indoors touch?

Indoors, Jamie! Your place.

Indoors. Indoors, good idea.

Alright, indoors,

we'll do it at my place.

Indoors costs more and I get my

taxi fare there and back...

and the price of a kebab

and a Diet Coke.

For you, in total, 150 quid,

if we get it all done in an hour.

An hour? All right, that's good.

We've only got an hour.

Well, perfect.

Ooh... Very nice.

You own it, do you?

Worth a fortune now, these places.

Oh...

you never thought you'd be lucky enough

to get someone like me, did you?

People don't.

I've had grown men weep

at the thought of touching my feet.

Yuccas... ugh!

"Hope in the Lord,

the bleeding heart of Jesus".

Can you just put that down?

Please, just put that down.

Don't back out, Jamie.

- I won't.

- Oh, come on, don't get all guilt-ridden.

- Huh?

- Don't say, "I won't. " Say, "I will!"

You mustn't be afraid.

Okay?

You've just gotta go for it.

So, what do you want?

Look, I want you to just stop

touching everything.

Please, it's just personal.

Be brave.

Whatever it is, that's what I'm here for.

So... Say it!

Come on!

You've now only got 40 minutes.

You need him to keep still.

I just need you to keep still, please.

Oh, I get it. Passive beauty, eh?

What is it? Handcuffs?

Oh, don't... don't...

don't hurt me!

Tie... tie me...

Can you get off the chair?

Come on. Describe how you want me.

Huh?

Exactly...

Silent and still.

Silent. I need you still.

- And silent.

- Now I'm with you, sunshine.

The old mummified game.

Surprising how popular that is these days.

I wouldn't have thought it

from a first timer but, hey-ho.

Why not jump in at the deep end, eh?

We'll have to improvise.

- Clingfilm!

- What?

It'll work if there's enough.

Just leave a gap for my eyes and nose.

I like to see what's going on.

And not too long -

the skin needs air, you know?

Oh, and if I make this noise -

"Mmmmm!"

That's the signal to stop...

whatever you're doing.

- Understood?

- Yeah, understood.

Mmm! Gonna have a good time.

Mm-mm-mm!

- Mm?

- Forgive me...

You'll never do it in there.

Take him to the kitchen.

Run!

Boo!

You've been sleeping all day, Jamie.

- Have I?

- Yeah!

I've cleaned all the mess from the flat

and I bought some new clothes for you.

Come and try them on.

Come on!

It's nearly seven o'clock,

Tia will be here any minute.

Wow...

- I dunno, what do you think?

- It's amazing. It looks really good.

- There's just one thing.

- What's that?

You haven't brushed your hair properly.

Let me do it for you.

Please, Dad.

- How's that?

- Great.

Oh God, it's Tia. My God, she's here!

Listen, Belle, what are you gonna do?

You gonna be OK?

Don't worry about me. You go and have fun.

It's the start of your new life, Dad.

When I walk down the street

They set fire to me

They struck the match,

it helped me hatch

Made me ignite and I took flight

I will feel it,

in diamond night sky...

You're beautiful.

- Jamie? Are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine...

Please, Tia, you can't see me like this.

What do you mean? You're worrying me!

Okay! Okay. Okay...

- Jamie...

- Okay...

- Jamie...

- I'm just scared of what you might think.

I don't care what you look like.

Just open the door.

Please...

Hey, bruv. I just wanted to say...

we all still feel guilty

about rushing off.

But we just need to get away

but we'll be back soon and, well...

everything's gonna be just fine

from now on.

You'll see.

Your heart beats like a hammer

At the bottom of the ocean

It wakes the sleeping serpent

Whose blood's a magic potion...

It means a lot to me.

It's my family.

Your laughter turns to sparkles

Oh, that's where starlight comes from

In you are all the stories

I ever need to hear

My happy ever after

My once upon a time

All the stories

All the stories...

Hey, Dad.

- Hey, Belle.

- Did you have a nice time?

Yeah, yeah.

Tia's just dropped off to sleep.

What're you doing there?

- What's this?

- I made it, all by myself.

You did all this?

- Yeah.

- It's amazing, look at that.

- Don't touch!

- Oh, I'm sorry.

- That's you, Dad...

- Uh-huh.

- That's me...

- Right.

That's Tia...

Mum.

We're a family now.

Everything's perfect.

Yeah, you're right.

Everything is perfect.

- It's Papa B!

- Jamie!

- He's on the roof!

- Jamie!

You've stolen my Belle.

Come on, it's not like that.

Don't play games with me.

It's not that I'm too bothered.

Silly little b*tch wants to live with you,

let her go.

Hm!

But I can't let it go unpunished.

You understand.

What do you want of me?

Kill for me. Again.

By midnight.

I want another heart.

I've already done that.

You keep changing the f***ing rules!

I make the f***ing rules

and I've chosen the victim.

I love her.

You can't make me do that.

You can't make me do that.

You can't make me do that!

- Shh...

- You can't make me do that.

Let me explain...

old son.

What do you see out there, eh?

A city, full of people,

all yearning for love.

All believing love is eternal.

But love ain't eternal.

Only suffering can be eternal.

- No...

- You know who this is?

AJ.

Jamie...

You see, Jamie?

Unhappy ever after.

No... No... No...

Please, no.

No!

No!

No!

The kingdom of horror is here...

The kingdom of horror.

I know, I know. You know why

I'm sounding upset. I can't help it.

She's awake.

That's the way I feel, yes.

Sorry. I can't do it here, Belle.

I'll do it. I will. I will.

Jamie. Where have you been?

I just put the rubbish out.

- You okay?

- Yeah. No, I'm fine. I'm fine.

That was a good friend of mine.

Her apartment got

broken into last night, robbed.

While she sleep.

I know it is stupid but can I put

my book of photographs...

in your safe at work, now?

It is precious to me, Jamie.

I won't sleep tonight with worry.

Please...

You can kill her there.

Say yes.

Yeah. Yeah. That's fine.

Jamie, I wanted you to know...

When I first met you, I didn't think

I would fall in love with you...

And I did.

You've got a beautiful heart, Jamie.

And I will always love you,

no matter what happens after this.

After this?

What do you mean, after this?

Oh, come on, what do you know?

Do you know what happened...

Just open the safe, Jamie. Please.

- Why did you say "after this"?

- Look at the time! Kill her!

- You've got to get out of here.

- What?

- You've got to go, Tia. Please, go!

- Why?

Because it's not safe for you here.

- No!

- You're in danger.

- From what?

- From me.

You're running out of time!

Kill her!

I can't!

- Kill her!

- I just can't!

- What are you saying, Jamie?

- Kill her!

- Just open the f***ing safe.

- Stay out of it, Lee!

Shut it! It's all your talking

that f***ed it up!

Stupid plan. You and him, this!

That's what you thought.

But it wasn't, was it?

Worked like a f***ing dream.

- What the f***'s going on?!

- He stole from the gang.

I didn't steal,
