I like taking pictures.

There is no money in it.

Some tosser nicked my

camera in the summer.

Went down to the crime

scene the other night.

You are going to have to give me

a wee bit more to work on.

The young lad.

Terry, Grady.

Why would you want to do that?

I went down to see his mum.

I needed a picture of him

for the first print.

His mum wants me to find whomever's

responsible for her son's death.

Well, she would. Would not she.

I think we are close. Most of the

estates around here have gangs.

It seems Terry was on

the edge of one of them.

And got involved in an argument with a

couple of people from another gang.

And things got out of hand?

Yeah. I think you could

describe it like that.

Why do you want to get involved?

I thought you were a watcher.

It is better on the sidelines.

Walk away.

- Didn't think you would show.

- Said I would. I not did.

- You want to take some pictures.

- Yeah.

This is somewhat old,

kind of complicated.

However, once you know it,

you know it. You know.

I had the one in school.

Hold it.

- Heavy.

- Yeah.

How do you see through it?

Through here.

Focus.

F***!

F***.

Here is another one. Here

another one. Here is another one.

See him.

Keep it steady.

Get it.

- Yep.

- Good.

If you want to leave a message,

please do.

Hi. My name is Suzanne Tiama.

I'm the director of the

Zodiac gallery in Hoxton.

I saw a number of your stills

In an old gallery brochure.

And thought the work

Was incredibly atmospheric,

and I'd be very interested

In showing your work.

My number is 0207-843-3582.

These are nice, Tom.

Very nice.

You cannot beat kids.

I mean, pictures of kids.

There is hope. Is not there?

Want some of this.

No, it is not even 11:00!

It is Saturday!

- No, it can wait.

- Got any beers.

Yes. Should be some

in the fridge there.

Nice.

How is that story going?

Terry Grady, 15-year-old kid...

Stabbed to death

at a park, football matches.

Eight-inch blade.

In addition, a broken bottle.

Nasty business.

Penton was there.

The DI who dealt with Steven.

Yeah. I remember.

Sends his regards.

That is nice.

Sorry I missed the poker.

Where did he live?

River mead Estate. The one by

the park and the playground.

Why?

I think I took a picture of his

brother in the school last week.

Leave it. Tom.

F***. What time is it?

- 11:
00, 11:30.

- Sh*t.

F***! I forgot.

Rachel.

Tom, it is me.

- Hello?

- You all right?

- Yeah.

- You have not forgotten, have you?

No. No, I did not forget.

Come up. Yeah, I am not ready.

It will take me...

It will take me 10 minutes.

Yeah, come up.

It is Rachel. She is outside.

Looks like these are

going to have to wait.

Rachel?

Yeah. We are visiting

Steven is grave together.

Hi.

Hi, Ed.

It has been a while.

Hello.

Are you just leaving?

Well...

Love to say but uh, the boys.

Yeah. Of course!

- Nice to see you. Rachel.

- Yeah. You too.

- See you later, Tom.

- Yeah. Take care.

So, I will just get ready.

Okay.

Beer for breakfast. Classy.

You never liked him. Did you?

Not from the moment, you saw him.

Thought it would save time.

He is a good journalist.

No, he is not. He is a hack.

Really. I do not know why

you put up with him.

- He taught me the important things in life.

- Really?

Yeah. This is a good steak.

This is not a good steak.

This woman will break your heart.

That woman will not.

Yeah. Couldn't work

that one out for yourself?

Well, I could,

however, I had Ed. You know?

In his own strange way,

He is somewhat courageous.

Please.

He has the constant imprint of

The last person who sat on him.

He is not courageous, Tom.

He is a coward.

Well, we will agree to differ. Yeah.

Fine. Well, we will agree on that then.

Did you get the flowers?

Sh*t, no.

Excuse me.

Therefore, you found some manners

Now then. Bruv.

Yeah, look,

I do not want any trouble, yeah.

Trouble?

Yeah.

I just want to pick up some

Flowers here if you do not mind.

No, no. We do mind. Bruv.

Just get out of my way.

Keep away from Grady's brother!

Took your time.

Yeah, sorry.

Hey. It is okay.

We are having an open space

Next week.

I know it is not great notice,

However, we would love to show you.

Any buyers?

I wouldn't show them if I

did not think I could sell them.

Can you give me these six?

Well, they are not

doing anything else.

I take 50%.

Sounds good.

Great.

He who snorts Colombian,

thinks Colombian.

Very nice, good sir. Very nice.

Flown in direct. Dirt-cheap.

Your mate, Harry?

Terry. Terry. From... Uh, works

for the Herald in Bogota?

- The very man.

- Yeah?

This little baby was

addressed to Brian Wilson.

Musicians with habits.

That is his thing.

Endless possibilities there.

You should have

been there last month.

Jim Morrison nearly blew

my bollocks off.

To good living,

the ultimate revenge.

You are good, Tom, but,

Jesus.

They put the death

of cold through me.

They make you not want

to step out the door.

- How do I look?

- You look great.

Thank you.

Tom, you are letting.

A beautiful woman like this

go out all on her lonesome.

Whilst you sit on your sorry

as with me all night.

You have your priorities

all wrong, my friend.

- Ed, Christina. Christina, Ed.

- Hi.

- Christina.

- Eddie.

- Enchanted.

- Hi.

Well. Can I.

Can I get you a drink?

- No. Did you ever read about the evils of drink?

- Yeah.

Put me off reading for life.

Tom, why am I only getting

to meet Christina after so long?

I do not know. I guess Christina

Just got lucky, that is all.

That will be him.

I should leave you boys

to enjoy your game.

Men, please.

- You think so?

- Yeah.

You, do not wait up.

Be good. Yes?

Ed.

- Christina.

- Nice to have met you.

In addition, you.

And, uh, you better be, you

know, used to seeing me around.

Love you.

That is a very sexy woman.

I tripped and fell,

however, did I fall.

- Moved in.

- Yeah, few weeks back.

- Serious?

- Yeah.

What can I say?

She makes me smile.

Well, who would have

thought it.

Life in the old dog yet.

- Yeah!

- Chin-chin.

Yeah, let us exhibit

these drawings.

They hugely impressed me.

However, if you like the design, you have to see

when she fits all the costumes and everything.

It is... I mean, it is amazing.

She has got this eye. It is fantastic.

Thank you.

I saw your piece on the...

On the gang, Under-Fives.

It was good.

It was brief. Very good.

Crazy f***ing story. Only two of

they ever arrested.

It is difficult. Minors.

It is so difficult

to pin anything on.

However, the scary thing is...

That these kids... and that's all

they are... they are just babies.

They do not think what

they have done is that wrong.

Come on!

However, it is also because

they are kids.

They are just reacting

in addition, trying to make sense.

Of the sh*t that is all around.

However, when they cornered. Bang!

It is reflex.

In addition, that reflex is often just to

lash out, with an eight-inch blade.

I mean, look at
