iBoy Page #5

It's a shame, man.

I always thought

you'd be the one to go places.

Who killed Cass, Danny?

If you ask me...

I blame that hacker.

He started sh*t

that could only end one way.

-See you around, Tom.

-See you around.

-[girl] Did you hear about that Cass guy?

-[boy] That Cass guy...

[overlapping chatter]

[woman] What do you think? It's iBOY

that killed him? Or do you think...

[overlapping chatter continues]

[woman crying] Let's cut him down.

Take him from the balcony...

[girl]

Everyone's saying it's iBOY.

[overlapping chatter continues]

Why don't you tell me a little bit

about what's going on with you?

It's just-- this pain in my head--

I just-- I need the pieces--

You've gotta find some way-- I just--

-You need to operate.

-Well, look--

Just take the pieces

out of my f***ing brain!

Hey, hey. Okay, okay.

There's not a lot that we can do about it.

These fragments have moved

a lot deeper into your brain tissue.

-There's just no safe way that we can--

-What if I pay you?

Well, then I'd be in private practice,

but I'm afraid

I would still have to say no.

You've got to help.

Things haven't been the same

since it's happened.

[sighs]

Look...

Perhaps, I'm not the kind of doctor

that you need to be talking to.

[objects clattering]

You're gonna need some more milk.

Hello, Wendy.

I've just been reading

some of your stories.

You're a dark horse, aren't you?

Ellman, what the f***

are you doing here?

After all these years,

can't we at least be civil?

You leave us alone, you f***ing bastard!

-Nan!

-Cutz.

Really? The granny?

[scoffs] Put her on the bed.

Make sure she's breathing.

-Let me see her.

-Don't worry, she'll be all right.

We'll keep an eye on her.

Cutz is a man with a hammer

in a world of china. Know what I mean?

Keon, let him go.

-[chuckling]

-You're gonna wish you hadn't done that.

Oh, yeah? What are you gonna

f***ing do, you little prick?

Cutz, enough.

I grew up in this tower block.

My bedroom looked out

the same side as this.

-View's changed a bit.

-What do you want?

To reminisce uninterrupted. Is that okay?

You see, back in the day,

when I was in short trousers,

this whole area was a sh*t-hole.

Now, it's just us...

in the shadow of millionaires.

How many lads from the estate

do you think make it up

those skyscrapers, Tom?

We have different towers

to climb, don't we?

So...

You called. Here I am.

What did you want to say to me?

No? These moments are always better

in our head, aren't they?

The French have a word for it.

But then they have a word

for f***ing everything.

-I wanted to hurt you.

-Okay, good.

-Now, we're getting somewhere.

-Not anymore.

-You're not worth it. It's over now.

-It's pretty far from over, Tom.

You don't call the devil

then get upset when he turns up.

You're not the devil. You're just a c*nt.

[chuckles]

I suppose I am a bit, yeah.

What was that?

What is it you're doing?

You've got a little look in your eye

like you're busy.

Are you, Tom?

Are you busy little bee?

What you looking for?

Do you know?

I've heard rumors that you can tap

into phones with just your mind.

Break into bank accounts

with the click of a finger.

-Sounds a bit far-fetched, doesn't it?

-Yeah.

But do you know...

I happen to think...

that it's true?

I wouldn't know anything about that.

[sighs]

[scoffs]

Don't do that.

That's the difference

between us and them.

They have a modicum of talent,

they shout it from the rooftops.

Us? We have a talent,

we get told to shut up.

"Don't show off.

Don't be such a clever bastard."

You're special, Tom.

Don't ever, ever pretend that you're not.

All right, I'm special.

What's it got to do with you?

My one gift,

if I may be so bold, is vision.

I want to help you fulfill your potential.

I want to give you the opportunity

to change the world.

You mean the opportunity

to make a lot of money.

-An obscene amount of money.

-I'll pass.

-Why?

-'Cause go f*** yourself, that's why.

Hey, hey, hey.

Okay.

Okay. Well...

It was worth a shot.

I've spent a lot of money

bailing my boys out of police custody,

so you owe me.

Now, I want you to ask yourself

one very important question.

"Where, oh, where is Lucy?"

[gasps]

You see her, don't you?

She's got nothing to do with any of this.

That's entirely up to you.

I don't like this.

Next time, get a note

from your f***ing mom or something.

-I can't kill no girl.

-It ain't gonna come to that!

-Yeah, what if it does?

-I'm right here, you know.

Yeah, we see you.

What, just like you've seen me

every f***ing day since nursery?

Does that mean nothing?

Come on, Ant.

We grew up together.

Our moms used to walk us home

from school together.

We used to play

in that little park by the estate?

-F*** this, man!

-Oi, gag her or something, Haz.

I can't listen to her sh*t anymore, man.

-So, how does it work, then?

-I woke up with it after they shot me.

[chuckles]

-You get shot and you get super powers.

-Yes.

-Most people just get dead.

-Lucky, I guess.

That's yet to be established.

-So go on. Show me what you can do.

-I won't steal for you.

I think you probably might, though.

You're gonna do what I say,

or I'm gonna burn your world down.

Danny, can you come in here, please?

It was young Daniel here

who first suggested

you might be our masked man.

And do you know? He didn't even want

to be here to see if he was right.

-How long have you known Danny?

-My whole life.

Your whole life.

I've never even met the guy

and yet, he gave you up to me.

Do you know why?

Little pictures of the Queen.

If you're gonna betray a friend,

look him in the eye while you do it.

Little pictures of Elizabeth.

Open your mouth, Danny.

Open your f***ing mouth.

[breathing heavily]

In case you're wondering,

that's what power looks like.

Now...

You're gonna put funds

into my bank account...

because I know you can do it,

and I know you're not gonna let me do

the things I'm willing to do if you don't.

Give me your phone, Danny.

Now, f*** off.

Okay, none of us are getting any younger.

Let's get this done.

Be a dear and fill her up, will you?

[Ellman gasps]

[chuckles]

Is that as fast as you can go?

I could just dump the entire

Bank of England in there, but...

I think people might start

asking questions.

[chuckles]

You see, I still like this guy

despite everything.

You're a special kid, Tom.

A special kid.

Looks like we're doing it.

I'm gonna put an X on it.

Yeah?

Whoever gets the X has got to do it.

Put your hands out.

Are you f***ing kidding me?

-What'd you expect--?

-Don't talk to her.

Well, I wouldn't shoot

an unarmed girl tied to a chair.

Shut up.

But I guess I'm not a big man

like you, Eugene.

Shut up! Just shut the f*** up!

Why don't you just f***ing do it, then?

Isn't that what you want?

-Hey, yo, calm down, man. Come on, man.

-Don't test me, man!

-Chill, mate! Chill, man!

-Get the f*** off me!

-[overlapping chatter]
