these f***ing c*nts.

Rolling out of the court

after the riots.

Not a f***ing care in the world.

Pimp roll, designer clobber.

"Who gives a f***"

written all over their faces.

Front. Bullshit front.

I mean, how much sh*t

has that led young men?

Well, it never used to

be like that.

Yes. Oh, no.

When we were kids,

they were innocent times.

The '70s, when you could go to a fight in

addition, a football match would break out.

You know, I often wonder how

Steven would have turned out.

He would have been fine.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Rachel was saying that,

He... he'd been spending a lot more

time out at night when I was away.

He was a teenage kid.

What did you expect?

Well, I hope he was happy.

I hope we did enough.

Everybody wants to try.

In addition, protect their children

from the world, but you cannot.

It is... It is

simply not possible.

However, you try,

in addition, you keep trying.

You loved him, Tom.

I saw the way you looked at him,

the way you were with him.

I mean, I am not a father,

however, I could see that.

Well, I wanted

to be a good father.

Believe me, you were.

671... William Klein.

Brooklyn school kids

hose them down...

during a sweltering hot

New York summer's day.

672... Terence Donovan.

Bethnal Green

moods and skinheads...

Pose for the camera proudly.

Yeah, come on.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Open up! D*ckhead!

Hey! Hey, p*ssy!

Screw it. Back off.

F*** you!

I did not think

you liked his work.

I do not.

My God. Jesus.

What happened to your face?

I. You know...

I walked into a wall.

Fell off a bus.

Okay.

Yeah, what do you think?

Moody and magnificent?

- Scary.

- Scary, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I guess there

is that as well.

So, uh, what brings you here?

I have signed him up to do

some shows in New York.

They love his stuff.

Very nice.

Listen...

I think I have seen enough of this

human suffering for a day, you know?

My heartstrings have been...

Just been ripped out, you know?

In addition, I am

going for a drink.

Want to come.

That would be nice.

However, I have still got

some things to sort out.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Message number 11.

Message number 12.

Message number 13.

What is wrong?

You needed to do it

quite so early?

Early bird and all that. Yeah.

- Hey, Jimmy.

- Here is your book.

- I said you could keep that.

- I do not want it.

Well, you still want those

slides to show your class.

Who is your friend?

That is one of the kids from the,

school where I have been taking portraits.

He is interested in photography.

Start light, Tom.

F*** me.

F*** me.

There you are.

Hey. Man...

Sorry about the crush.

You forget I have been to a few of

your exhibitions over the years.

Actually, it is quite busy.

Is that suppose to

make me feel better.

Christina not coming?

- No. She... She had a business meeting.

- Okay.

I am going to get a refill.

Do you want one?

Do you want ...?

Do you not think you are

drinking too much. Tom.

Who is counting? You?

She thinks I am a genius.

You know, I was thinking,

As you, get older.

You do not really get wiser.

You know, you actually

understand less.

You do not get courageous.

You just get scared.

Have you called the police?

Then what?

You look dreadful.

Well. Thank you.

You look very nice yourself.

Just call the police, Tom.

It is just pranks.

You caught sh*t

through a letterbox.

Abusive calls, a mutilated cat...

You call that "pranks".

Kids nowadays, they've just

become so much more advanced.

Have not you heard?

I am worried about you.

I am worried about

all this, you know.

Does Christina know?

This is about me.

It is not about her.

Well, still, you know,

you should talk to her.

You should talk to the police

as well. It is gone too far.

Yeah. I Will.

I Will.

Really. Tom this place is a mess.

Do not you have any respect?

What is respect?

You know.

A shower and a shave

every morning.

See. I do not need that.

I do not need people

licking my face.

That is where you and me

differ. You know.

Where is she?

- Christina?

- Perceptive.

Well, it is not that late.

Where she mean to be?

She is out with a dago buyer.

Okay.

- Have you met him?

- Yeah.

Once. Yeah.

Shallow.

Laughs when it's not funny,

cries when it's not sad.

- Jealous?

- No, I am not.

I just want her home. You know.

- Anything wrong with that.

- No. No.

And...

How are things between you?

We get by.

Well, they do say...

The art of making

a relationship work...

Is give a little bit more?

Than your share.

You sound like

a f***ing self-help book.

I did my share.

You know just...

Just a little bit more, Tom.

You know. In addition,

let us face it.

Whenever you did anything, there always had

to be fanfares. You could never just do it.

Well, you always were the humble

one in the outfit. Were not you?

Well, for humble,

Read "doormat."

What?

- Just stop trying to tell me what to do.

- I am not...

Stop trying to be a mum!

Stop trying to mother me!

Because you are not a mother

any more. Are you?

You are not a f***ing mum any more!

My gosh, you can be

so cruel sometimes. Tom.

You know, the trouble with this

stuff, it cuts away at care.

I mean, look at you.

You are a great advert for it.

What about do you care?

You are...

You are like an accident

Waiting to happen.

Now.

That is a choice turn of

phrase if ever I heard one.

You see. There is that

Constant undercurrent.

The feeling that at any point

things could get out of control.

Do you know, it was

hard to live with.

- It was scary to live with.

- But you survived.

- I a little bit scarred.

- We all a little bit scarred. Baby.

Jesus, listen to you. You spend all your

time trying to blacken your own character.

- Yeah, I know. Yeah. Just too many Lou Reed records.

- My God!

- That as real as it gets.

- That is as real as it gets.

Yeah. It is all surface.

- You scratch it and there is nothing underneath.

- It is all gone!

Stop it! You can leave

whenever you want.

- Is that what you want?

- I do not f***ing care!

My God! What's happened to you.

You never used to be like this.

This was not the way you

described it in the beginning.

It was not... We were good.

We were.

I watched as you felt

your grip slips away.

In addition, I could

see the change.

You know, I tried to help.

I could not reach you.

I gave up trying.

Because you took it out on me.

In addition, you took

it out on Stephen.

I am going to go.

I am so sorry it ended like this.

Did not hear you coming in.

You all right?

What is wrong?

Have you been crying?

Get me a drink.

Why have you been crying?

Just let me take your coat.

I am cold.

Leave it. Please.

Hello, this is Tom Carver.

I am not here.

If you want to leave

a message. Please do.

This is Stanley

at Maxim Publishing.

We are getting a bit anxious

about the deadline.

Ideally we'd like to get this

all tied up by the weekend.

So that we can take the package

to Oliver on Monday.

So, if you could give me a call.
