and that's how he knows, I know that he loves you too,

you don't have to worry

about him. Will you just let me know

that you're alright? For fucks sake. Two can play at that game. Listen if you're not gonna tell

me your problems, well I'm

not telling you mine! Now listen buddy, you can't

stay in there forever,

do you hear me? And there are no secrets

in this house! [large sigh] [polaroid camera clicks] [heavy breathing] [heavy breathing] -[rain pattering]

-[soft thunder in distance] [phone ringing] -Hello?

-[Milo] Dad. Milo? Milo, my God,

where are you? -Is mom there?

I wanna speak to mom.

-Where are you? I don't know. Tell me where you are. A pub, [heavy breathing]I'm in a pub. Ok, ok, I'm gonna come

and get you, which pub? Somethings wrong. Alright, ok, um. Has anyone seen you? -What? Wait.-Milo it's ok, listen to me-- -[phone beeps]

-[heavy breathing] I need to speak to mom. She's not here, now listen to

me, this is important. Don't let anyone see you,

under no circumstances,

do you understand me? What's wrong with me? -Just Milo.

-[heavy breathing] I want

to speak to mom. -[Brand] Milo please,

do you understand?

-Milo? Milo honey, mama's here. -Are you alright?

-I'm handling this! Milo? Milo? [Nadia] Milo, are you alright? No. Sh*t, is he alright? What did you say to him? What? -What did you tell him?

-He shouldn't let people

see him like that. Our son is trying to call us

and you tell him not to let

anyone see him? [Brand] He'll call back. Lying, selfish bastard. You don't care about him at all,

you only care about yourself! [Brand] Just keep

your voice down. -[Brand] I'm not--

-F***ing stay away from me! [knocking] [Mick] Open the f***ing

door, kid. [Star] You see Mick,

I don't think he's in there. Of course he's in there,

[mumbles] -[loud knocking]

-I'm warning you kid. -[thud]

-F***. [Mick] Open the f***ing door,

or I f***ing kick it in. [Star] Love, just listen

to Mickey, yeah? That's it, move. -[loud thud]

-[Star] Mick, take it easy. You f***er! Stop it kid,

I'm warning ya. [Milo breathing heavy] Holy, the flying Jesus. It's gonna be alright. [sighs] [exhales] [lighter clinkers] See now, Milo. With all that hair you have, your testosterone levels, are probably off the charts. I had an uncle once, now he had a lot of hair

on his chest. But not half as much

as you have. -And he had an enormous--

-Oh, [chuckles] would you

shut up. It's true. I'm just saying. I mean, your balls are

going to be as big as, mount Brandon. [Star] I just don't know

why your folks didn't tell ya. Must have been ashamed. Well there's nothing

to be ashamed of. In this house,

you're just Milo. And in this house, everyone finishes his dinner. -[Star] Come on Mick,

can you give us a hand?

-Yeah, sure. [gunshot] [gunshot] [gunshot] [Mick] Here, try one. Here, steady. Now, aim at that blue bottle. Fire. I'm not going back there. [gunshot] [Mick] Yeah you don't need grown

ups, you're your own man. I thought you rich kids

were supposed to be smart? [gunshot] -He hates me.

-[gunshot] He doesn't hate ya. -Then why didn't he tell me?

-Oh, I don't know. Sounds complicated,

your old man. I guess he's got his, complicated reasons. [Mick] But he's your dad. He surely wants you back. No he won't, not like this. Well your mom then,

she wants you back for sure. What's your dad like? Never had one. [inaudible] Lower gang fella, used to, oh let's just say I'm walking

since I was your age. Or a bit younger even. But I guess I turned out

alright. [gunshot] I haven't. Yeah, there's nothing

wrong with you Milo. You're a grand kid. Star. She'd do anything to keep ya. That shows you how much

of a good kid you are. We're going over to Portugal. You're welcome to stay

with us, if you want. Well that's if I can come up

with a plan B to get us

there now. I have some money. You can have it. [grunts] [gun clicks] [Mick] Come out with your hands

where I can see em. I'm warning ya. [gunshot] [gunshot] [Mick] Get your stuff

together babe. [sniffles] Milo! Swear to Jesus,

get in there love. [Mick] Some f***er up there is

snooping around with a camera. Here, put that on. Brand, Connor. Told you about him. And the photos of your mother's

finest hour, except it was only

about ten minutes. Where's Nadia? Out. Got it into her head that she

could find him herself with her

flyers and women's intuition. [grandad] Really? Connor said it was on the

notice board in a pub, Milo phoned you from. [Connor] Seems Mrs. Mulder

isn't doing a such a bad

job after all sir, [Brand] Where did you

take these? [Connor] About a mile outside

Whitlow, up near the

cement factory. There's an old camp site up

there that cleared to build

new holiday homes. Sam got those big developer

boards, but nothing seems

to be happening. Anyway there's a couple up there

in one of the abandoned

caravans. Squatters, he's with them. Just as I was mounting my six

hundred mill to getting closer, the old knacker started

shooting at me. This is not Milo. It's not my son. [Connor] You paid me

to find him. [muffled screaming] [music playing in distance] [soft rock music playing

in background] [indistinctive chatter] [Milo] Hi, can I have a toasted

sandwich, two packets of

crisps and Guinness please? -[bartender] Can I see

some ID please?

-[everyone chuckles] [Mick] Three hundred and

fifty-six euro in change. That'll get us over

to Portugal, alright. Just won't be in style

that's all. Sure don't care. Queen of the banana boats. That's me. [Mick] That's my woman. I can practically hear the cobs

in your brain woman. I already asked him. You didn't? You bastard. God I love ya. Hold on babe,

he didn't decide yet. There's enough money there for

the three of us, isn't there? -Just about.

-Then he's coming too. [Mick] That's his decision babe. [exhales] Do you really think his folks

deserve to have him back now? -Now do ya?

-[sighs] [dog barking] [door creaking] [car approaching] [grandad] Brandon,

get out here now. [Brand] They've taken him, dad. There's a ransom note. Come here son. -[loud thud]

-Oh! [Brand grunts] [Brand] I love my son,

do you hear me? So f*** off. [grandad] Stop lying to

yourself, Brand. [Grandad] I'll call you

when I've found him. You stay the f***

away from us, you stay away from me,

you stay away from Nadia and you

stay the f*** away from Milo! We should be able to get into

showers after gym. Bleeding right too,

does she know? Oh now, what's her name?

Your wee girlfriend. -[Milo] Caitlin?

-[Mick] Mm. She's not my girlfriend. She's my friend, I don't want to

get in the shower with her. [Milo] Oh the trampoline! I want to be able

to go on a trampoline. I should put that down,

should I? Yeah. [chuckles] You put down whatever

you want, man. What else? I want a bike, so I can ride

to school by myself. Grand choice, write it down. You alright there babe? Am I alright? No, I don't think so. We're sitting here watching him
