The Rise & Fall of a White Collar Hooligan Page #7

---

I've come to realize I don't need

all this in my life. I just need you.

Please call me back.

I love you.

- What?

- What? I'm here for the goods.

- What d'you f***ing mean, what?

- Come in.

Make yourself a cup of tea!

I'm not f***ing having this.

You lot are taking the f***ing piss.

- Now, where's the f***ing gear?

- Shut up, eh?

Why don't you f***ing shut up,

all that yapping?

What, you think you're getting it back?

It's my gear now. I need it.

And you can go f*** yourselves

if you think you're getting it back.

- Do you know who you're f***ing with?

- I know exactly who I'm f***ing with.

You're just a Londoner

who thinks he's a big man

But let me tell you something.

That equipment is mine

and the money in all the cash machines

around the country is ours.

And if they want you back, they're gonna

have to pay for you, big time.

So I do hope

you're sweet with your boss.

Chaps.

[Mike yells]

[Mike] Eddie, it's me.

These lot want half a million

or they're gonna kill me.

Just get Robinson to pay, all right?

Please.

[man] That's enough!

I want these out of here now.

I've got a big function here tonight,

don't want them around.

Sure.

When you get to the docks, you'll be

phoned by a man called Gerrard.

He'll tell you where to meet him.

When you've made the drop, call me.

Something else?

Scotty... Mr. Robinson.

It's been nearly a week.

I just wondered if we were gonna

try and get Mike back.

I don't pay ransoms,

'cause if I did, you'd all be far more

vulnerable then you already are.

Now, you wouldn't want that, would you?

No, course not.

But I'll get our kit back,

promise you that,

and I'll make them soppy f***ers that

took it regret ever messing with us.

I just, you know,

I thought we were part of a team

Now, don't be a silly boy.

You'll be telling me next

that there's no "I" in T-E-A-M.

He's gone. Got it?

Right.

Now, please get this stuff out of here.

F*** me? No, f*** you. F*** you.

I'll tell... I'll f***ing kill him.

Now, you tell me, what is with

your f***ing cheap-arse crew, eh?

I f***ing told 'em I've got ya

and if they want you back

they're gonna have to pay.

Do you know what they said?

Keep him. F***ing keep him.

I mean,

what kind of f***ed-up sh*t is that?

Your muggy little pals

had better pay up.

Otherwise I'm gonna

chop you to bits, my son.

- F*** you.

- F*** you?

You f***ing bastard!

Who the f*** are you talking to?

Shut your f***ing face.

Shut your f***ing face up.

You f***ing...

Sorry, Mike.

F***ing c*nts. F***ing c*nts!

You work for f***ing c*nts

who are not willing to pay

a decent ransom like normal people.

I mean, why send us you?

Why not send us someone

they f***ing liked?

As it is, you're useless...

...worthless, and there's no need

for you to be here any more.

It's time to get rid of you.

[screams]

Now, you're lucky

you're still breathing.

[heart beats]

[man, indistinct]

Get this ambulance prepped

and ready for operation.

[man 2]... do say

will be given in evidence.

Do you understand?

Listen, you can hardly go back

to Robinson now, can you, eh?

He knows you were f***ing in bed with

Eddie. He ain't f***ing stupid, fella.

What happened with all that money, eh?

What did Eddie do with it?

'Cause he didn't f***ing help you out,

did he? Didn't get you out of there.

No. That must have felt

a right kick in the bollocks, eh?

I mean, it's not exactly loyal, is it?

- No comment.

- What do you want me to do, eh?

You want me to f***ing

drive you back there, drop you off?

Is that what you want? I'll f***ing

do it. I ain't got a problem with that.

- No comment.

- Listen, don't be a c*nt, all right?

There is no f***ing point

in you keeping your mouth shut.

I know it all, all right?

You got two options.

You either go back there

and I'll give you 24 hours

and you'll be f***ing dead,

do you hear me?

Or you nark him up, I'll put you on

a witness protection, give you a new ID

I'll ship you out somewhere f***ing

miles away and you can live your life.

Do you understand

what I'm saying to you?

Listen, I know what I'd f***ing do.

No comment.

You think I'm winding you up, don't you?

[shouting on tape]

[Ed] Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey.

Back off, Topbeef.

- Lift up your shirt, for f***'s sake.

- [Mike] What?

[Ed] He just wants to see

you're not wearing a wire.

- I'm not wearing a f***ing wire!

- [Ed] Right, so lift your shirt up now.

Mike, please.

That's Eddie.

Detective Church, d'you wanna come in,

come and say hello?

I bet you didn't see this one coming,

did ya?

Oh, Mike.

Look at the f***ing state of you, mate.

Don't tell me.

You fell down some stairs.

Now, seriously, though, Mike,

I think you're all right.

Which is why what I'm about to say

to you comes not as a police officer

but someone that wants to help you.

So why don't you do yourself a solid,

take witness protection and testify?

It's the only way

you're gonna see 30, mate.

Now, I've got a strong case,

ready to go,

but your testimony

will make it watertight

Everyone'll go down. There'll be

no one left to come after you.

And by the time they do finally get out,

you would have been a different person,

living in a different place, for years.

And this is the best and only option

you're gonna get, mate.

[Church] We've got some good news

and some bad news.

The good news is

we've got dozens of runners,

a load of supervisors

and several bosses.

The important thing

with your testimony

they'll all go down

for a very, very long time.

Unfortunately, though, we couldn't get

the people right at the top.

Some of the top boys have disappeared.

What?

So I've gotta spend the rest of my life

looking over my f***ing shoulder now?

No, don't you worry about that.

We'll sort that out now.

Yeah, well, you f***ing better had.

Well, you're gonna go with my colleague

and he's gonna take you

to a safe house.

You're gonna wait there

until we sort a few things out.

Then you're gonna get relocated.

All right.

I need to go somewhere first, OK?

God, I f***ing love this place.

You win some... you lose some.

No, mate.

It's not about the winning and losing.

It's all about the fight.

So where did it all go wrong?

When I stopped being a hooligan.

F***ing Eddie.

I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him

I'll be sure to tell him that

if I ever see him again.

Your new identity's a national secret.

Even regular police and passport control

don't know the difference.

You can go anywhere you want now, Mike.

Just so long as it's not round here.

So where do you wanna go, then?

[voice-mail bleeps]

Mike, it's Eddie.

Listen, mate, I'm sorry I had to bail.

I'm sorry I couldn't get you

out of there, but, look,

if you're hearing this message, I think

you know where I want you to go.

The code hasn't changed,

nor has my intention to look after you.

Just do me a favour, will you?

If you get out of this,

stay in during Cup Finals, will you?

[bleeps]
