Well, I find in a moment of anger

follows a thousand nights of sorrow.

Yeah, that's more true

than you know.

- Well, we're all sinners in here.

- Yeah, some more than others.

The best of sinners are

the ones who repent, you know?

And the door of repentance

is always open to you.

This is my brother in Islam, Ali.

This is my brother Mason,

who's just found the path.

What, you're a Muslim, yeah?

Hamdu lillah.

You're here to repent your sins, is it?

- A man's sins are his own business.

- Is that a fact?

Salaam alaikum.

Brother? Peace be upon you.

Mason.

Allahu akbar.

- You f***ing attacked her, didn't you?

- You what?

You f***ing attacked

your probation officer!

F*** you, I only slapped her!

- I'm gonna f***ing take your life!

- I swear!

I heard about her getting roughed up.

The feds already asked me about it.

Why am I gonna attack

my own probation officer?

That was my girl.

Wait. Wait, wait. It was Jake.

It was Jake.

They did the smash-and-grab.

They did the smash-and-grab,

she was gonna tell the feds.

Jake killed some guy.

He's not gonna tell you about that.

He's only in here for car theft.

I didn't have nothing to do with it.

I swear to you.

I wouldn't have nothing

to do with that attack.

Elise, you're gonna have

to say something.

Elise?

- Please...

- Don't! Don't.

Don't.

Elise, please.

Please just look at me.

How can you want me

now I'm like this?

I love you.

Hey. I love you.

I can't have children, Tommy!

- All I want is you.

- That's not true.

- Yeah, it is, Elise.

- It's not.

All I want is you.

You've given me

everything I want. Hey.

You've given me everything I want.

You should've been there, Tommy.

I did it, bro. Had a little ask-about.

So where are they?

They were sent

to Gravesmere Young Offenders.

So that at least narrows down

where they are right now.

- For how long?

- Knowing them, it's gonna be long.

- What's this about, bruv?

- Forget it, man.

I've got to go, man.

'What's going on?'

'Everything we had has gone. '

Please don't go.

There's nothing left.

Elise, wait.

Elise, please...

Elise, please!

F*** it! F*** it!

F*** it!

You were asking who's Jake,

who's Mason, who's Essay.

Well, I've just seen Essay

being carried out in a blood bag.

As I hear it, he'll spend his license

in health care. Was that you?

It was, wasn't it?

What are you after?

Like I said, justice.

So, you'll work your way

through all the gangsters?

Hey, yo, cuz. Come.

Come, man.

Have a seat, cuz.

You want a coffee, fam?

- Yeah, go on.

- Angel, make him a coffee.

Grow, cuz.

All right, Angel, make me

one of them things too.

- You don't drink no bean, cuz.

- Got a guest, fam!

Trying to show my man

some common manners.

See this motherf***er's

a raw motherf***er, you know.

I never heard the boy say

please or thank you to no one.

Man won't even hold door open

for a decent piece of gash.

Just make the f***ing coffees, man.

Come sit down.

Let's talk with our new co-dee here.

P*ssy.

Want some chocolate sprinkles?

Why you asking if he want sprinkles?

Who the f*** has sprinkles

on their coffee?

Stop being a dimlo and

just make the f***ing drinks, man.

I f***ing love chocolate sprinkles.

You lot are a bunch

of sweet boys, you know.

So, cuz,

word on my wing is,

you know something about Essay

getting wrapped up, hm?

Don't worry, cuz.

He weren't on my team.

No, you done me a nice

little favour doing that there.

I was gonna have to stab up

that lanky prick

for trying to take my package anyway.

So what happened

between you two, then?

- Think he must have fell.

Yeah, yeah, hard.

Why's his face gone red for?

I think it's the weed, bruv.

Don't worry, cuz, man.

Spent time making that, you know.

There's more, there's more.

Goes a bit fast, goes a bit slow.

Er... um... yeah, look.

All right, though, innit?

There's a little bit of work

I still need to do, I think.

You okay?

- I need your help.

- What?

When Jake f***ed you up

in the gym, you had a weapon.

What's it to you?

Safe to say, you'd like to see Jake

on the end of one of them next time.

So tell me how you made it.

Yeah, I can do that.

Can you help me?

I want to...
