And now, suddenly I'm a lunatic.

Make up her mind.

I didn't ask for no favours, Len.

You asked me how I was and I told you.

Get this tart away from me.

I ain't surprised

your wife's leaving you.

What did you say to me?

What did you f***ing say to me?

Rumour has it

she's had enough of your rucking.

We're just marking your card.

I can tell you for one, Lenny.

Never trust a woman on her word.

We act on our feelings.

You men just ignore your feelings,

but that don't mean nothing if

you don't honour your woman,

listen to what's in their hearts.

But if you have got her heart,

well then, you've got her hand.

And rumour has it, Val's been heartbroken.

F*** you. I know

what my own wife wants.

She wants the best!

You've come second, though, ain't ya?

Alright! Alright.

Right. Let's put this all

to bed now, alright?

We've had a drink, Trix.

Len. Alright, for f***'s sake.

F***'s sake.

Val is my one and only, you know.

Listen, I know she is, boy.

So you any good at laundry, Lenny?

Calm down, now.

Do what?

Laundry.

The cleaning, cooking.

You probably better learn

in case she's already gone

- and don't come back.

- Carrots,

get this f***ing tart

away from me, let's slip.

He ain't going nowhere.

He's staying with me.

For f***'s sake, Carrots.

What is this, hey?

He don't want to have it

with you, can't you see?

His business and what he does

and where he goes

and who he's with

is nothing to do with you.

So stop hanging around his neck!

You can't give him what I've got.

Everyone hates you.

- Hmm.

- You're a menace and a nuisance

- and a bully.

- Hey.

Take a look around you, Len.

Everyone's gone.

- You've ruined everyone's f***ing night.

- Shut your f***ing mouth.

- You stupid, useless slag.

- F*** off!

Are you gonna let him

f***ing touch me like that?

Where you going, boy?

Len, wait. Come here, you!

F***ing beat the sh*t.

That's it, babe. Do him!

You're the Guv'nor, babe.

Lenny!

Lenny! Lenny, you're killing him!

Lenny, stop!

Lenny!

Get off him!

Get off! Get off!

Lenny!

Lenny!

Lenny!

Lenny!

Lenny what have you done?

You've killed him.

You've killed him!

Lenny!

Carrots! Carrots!

Carrots.

Please, no.

Ten, nine, ten.

Nine, ten, nine, ten, nine, ten.

Nine, ten, nine, ten, nine, ten.

Nine, ten, nine, ten, nine, ten.

What have you done, Len?

Turn round.

Oh, my God.

Right, sit down, Len.

Len, sit down!

Lenny!

I've got to get to Nan's, Len.

I've got to get to Nan's, Len.

What?

I've got to take

my little brother to Nan's.

He's hurt.

Jimmo beat him up on his legs

and his back.

He kept hitting him with his feet

and his hands and his belt.

Kruger.

Can you tell Nan we're coming?

Hit me too with his feet.

Me mum's the Guv'nor.

I know.

I know she is.

Listen, Lenny,

she made us promise her.

She made us promise her

not to kill him, Lenny, alright?

You get round Nan's.

And she'll get your Uncle Spinks,

and he's gonna belt

seven shades of sh*t out of that Irwin.

That gutless coward.

You gutless coward.

Tell me. Is it true?

He was dead, Val.

They only just managed to resuscitate him.

Your Lenny is a f***ing savage.

Lenny is my husband.

How do you stick it?

How can you stand there and call him that?

He didn't mean it, you

know he's a good man.

Carrots is gonna be scarred for life.

Calm down, for f***'s sake.

His neck was hanging wide open.

What have you said?

The police want a statement off me.

Trixie, you are going to keep

that little button mouth quiet.

Do you understand me?

Now, that is a step too far.

What Lenny has done for you

and your family over the years

and you're going to go

screaming off to the police?

Are you sure you want to do that?

You tell that animal, he comes near me

or Carrots or my mum ever again

and I will get him lifed off for good.

And I'm done with you too, Val.

Are you a savage?

You killed your best mate.

He was dead for 10 minutes,

they only just resuscitated him.

Can you hear me, Lenny?

This ain't the man that I married.

I can't do this no more.

There once was a scared little coward,

who were tearful and twisted and soured.

No father, no guts, or lint to the nuts,

so I've battered him out of his trousers.

Are you a savage?

This ain't the man that I married.

I can't do this no more.

Come on, Len

Come on, Len.

Get in there.

Ring the bell, ring the f***ing bell.

Breathe, breathe, breathe in,

suck it in, that's it.

I don't know what you're doing

because it ain't f***ing boxing

but keep doing it,

he's out on his f***ing boot.

Water, drink some water.

Cover the button, that's what you wanna do.

Don't be a mug.

Get out there and knock that f***er's

spark out, he's out on his feet.

That's it. Good boy, son.

These, these are your weapons,

these are your weapons, go on.

Come here.

Disqualified. Disqualification.

You have to fight again in a rematch.

Disqualified? What do you mean?

We ain't done.

You will never

be the Guv'nor, McLean.

Alright, Frankie boy,

I've come for the purse.

John John, that was fantastic, mate.

He almost killed him.

I know, he knocked him out the ring.

Listen, don't worry about the purse, right,

we're gonna call it a draw.

- Eh?

- And it's gonna roll over the purse, right?

- But he won.

- We're gonna do the trilogy,

- like the rubber match.

- Rubber...

- What the... He knocked him on his arse.

- Listen to me. Look.

We're gonna make some money.

Some proper money, alright?

You just get the boy in shape

and you leave the rest to me.

Good work, John. Proper money.

Good work, John.

You changed your f***ing tune.

F***ing rubber match?

Val.

I done him.

Did you see me? I done him.

I won, Val. I did it once,

I will do it again.

I will win that money back, Val, I promise.

Please come home.

I need you with me, Val.

It's never been about that, Len.

It's never been about the money.

I love you, Len.

But I can't come home.

It's about you.

Have you stopped drinking?

I have to beat him, Val.

I have to.

I have to be the Guv'nor.

I know you do, Len.

Val.

Val.

Come on, boy.

Just ask

for your money back, Lenny.

Huh.

Don't ever fight Shaw again,

you already beat him.

Just ask for your money back

and make it right with Val,

move out to the country.

It was your fight, Lenny, you won.

You don't have to keep fighting.

Every fight I've ever had I had for you.

I know, Lenny.

But we've only ever lost one fight,

haven't we, Lenny?

I love little p*ssy

I'm gonna top you, one day.

Don't be like that, hey?

Long way down ain't it, boy?

Hey.

You want to be careful

you don't trip one day

and fall out this window.

Ahhh.

This is a quiet gentleman's sport.

Therapeutical.

Clear your mind.

Yeah, it's quite calming.

You off the sauce?

Oh, I only drink lemonade now, John John.

Yeah, booze, mmm.

It is no good for a big lump like

me with a lot of aggression in him.

That's a good boy, you keep that up.

John John.

I'm not a liberty-taker, am I?
