We are the champions!

From the mood outside,

I'm guessing we're still not entirely welcome here.

When were the riots? Five years ago?

June 11, 2002.

This was one of the worst estates in Europe

for drugs and violence.

Father Thomas turned this place around.

He reduced violence by 80% in two years.

It was made very clear that they could look after themselves

and that we were not welcome.

Mum says get rid of all these

before I get in trouble with all them coppers.

It's Mr. Bannerman, isn't it?

My friends call me Jacko.

You put a policeman into a coma.

Wasn't me.

Got caught up in some rioting.

Denny Wade, I'm arresting you on suspicion

of the murder of Father Thomas Martin.

I have no use for a penknife during prayers.

When you beat him around the head and stabbed him 29 times,

with a spike like this one, including both palms,

and then stabbed him through both eyes?

Winner, knockout... Jimmy "The Beast" Bannerman!

Blimey, he didn't get that on the Social, did he?

Subtitling made possible by Acorn Media

I don't think this was a random attack.

I think it was meant for Alison.

Oh, hang on a second.

Ma'am, kids did this all the time 'round here

before Father Thomas started the boxing.

Dropping rocks on cars, setting fire to things,

graffiti, muggings, theft.

You check out anyone who had any contact with her yesterday.

The congregation, the boxer boys, the cleaner, the curate.

Even the old ladies who called in for tea.

She, uh, left a message.

Doug?

A message? What message?

I don't think we should jump to any conclusions.

Sir, I really have to speak to you.

Please ring me when you get this.

It's something one of the kids just told me

about one of the boys.

It doesn't mean it's connected to Father Thomas.

Anyway, call me, please.

I'll keep my phone free.

Need a hand, Granddad?

You going to our house?

Don't say nothing about that watch, will you?

What watch? I told you to get rid of them.

What you doing?

We're not here about the watches, Liam.

Although, off the record, it could get you into trouble.

Off the record?

You mind your own fucking business.

My son can take care of himself.

His dad can take care of him.

What's going on?

I wondered how long it would take.

Have you been nicking again? I'll kill you.

I ain't! I got 'em off the market.

We'd like to speak to your son Jimmy about Father Thomas.

- Is he here? - Oh, really?

I don't want you messing with my son Jimmy.

He's got a big fight coming up.

He's under enough pressure without you lot hassling him.

Yeah, we're aware of that.

We just want to ask him a few questions.

What, like you did last time...

When you lot put him away for five months?

I don't know why you're bothering anyway.

If that priest hadn't been up all their pants,

he'd still be alive.

He's only got himself to blame.

Are you saying Father Thomas behaved inappropriately

with the children?

You show me one that don't, and I'll show you a flying pig.

What work you doing these days, Jack?

I've got my own business.

What is it? Scrap metal?

- Recycling plant. - Oh, really?

Have you recycled any lead lately?

You got to be kidding, haven't you, mate?

No one uses lead these days.

Or copper?

Only, a lot of it's been going missing from the church.

We're wondering who's selling it.

If that's why you want Jimmy, forget about it.

My son's a boxer.

He's got better things to do with his time.

Your boxing career never really took off, did it?

All that publicity didn't do the trick.

Was it worth all that for your career?

I'd have knocked.

I'd have checked I was at the right house

before I started breaking down the door.

Number 80, lads. Go!

But it never really did affect your career, did it?

- Killing an innocent old lady. - What are you talking about?

Ask him about Betty Frederick.

Freeze! Police!

Stand still! Stand still!

For God's sake, why didn't you tell me?

There's nothing to tell.

It was a drug raid,

and we were told there was some kid involved.

We just acted on the information we were given.

What do you mean, a kid?

Some abuse thing going on to fund drugs.

Abuse?

Hang on.

There was an allegation of child abuse on this estate,

and you didn't tell me.

Because it was all made up.

But what about the connection to Father Thomas?

You heard what Mrs. Bannerman just said.

No. No way.

There was no drug dealer, and there was no kid.

Bannerman added that bit

to put extra pressure on us to act fast.

Which we did. We walked right into it.

You should have told me about this.

I lost a close friend in the riots.

The only mistake we made

was listening to Bannerman in the first place.

I'm not falling for that again.

Even though his son Jimmy is one of our main suspects?

You're wrong about Jimmy.

He's turned his life around. He's got a future.

He's one of the lucky ones.

He put an officer in a coma.

He always denied it. Maybe he didn't do it.

Kids don't always have to turn out like their parents,

you know.

Yeah, uh, Jack Bannerman's recycling plant.

It's down by the river on Needle Street.

Get a warrant and check it out.

Particularly look out for any copper and lead piping

that doesn't tally with his register.

Recycling plant?

He's a rag-and-bone man, for God's sake.

- Wow. - What?

They say God works in mysterious ways.

I was just about to bring him back in.

God has spoken to me.

He thinks there's something I should tell you.

Father Thomas was stealing

from his own church... Is that what you're saying?

I didn't say he was stealing.

I said he was interested to know

how people might get rid of things

that could be difficult to sell.

We didn't have anything to sell.

The Last Supper altar set, worth over £1,000.

He showed it to me.

Oh, it was engraved with the twelve apostles,

filigree overlay.

It was a beautiful piece.

That's why I came back, in case it was important.

That altar piece was stolen in the rioting.

He showed it to me since I came out of prison.

People thought they lost everything in the riots,

but they didn't.

He had it all hidden away, locked in here.

Did Father Thomas ask you to sell things for him?

No, no.

Father Thomas was trying to teach me not to steal.

Not from the church, anyway.

He was very upset if people stole from the church.

But there are only so many places you can buy and sell

these kinds of things without people asking questions.

And when I told him about some of the things I'd acquired,

he... he was interested to know the details, that's all.

More interested than you would imagine.

You could have stolen the shirt off his back

and he'd have let you.

Not God's things.

So, did you do something to upset him?

When I was in prison, I... took a few things.

Just some pages from prayer books, but he was furious.

Only in private, mind.

He told me that unless I repented, I wouldn't be saved.

But you still steal things, don't you?

God doesn't mind if it's for the right reasons.

Father Thomas didn't see it like that.

But I don't think he was always right.

These are all the records from the church.

Some very expensive silverware and a handcrafted Communion set

are missing, presumably stolen.

Father Thomas was possibly trying to get them back.

Right, I want the names of all the junkies and homeless people,

anyone who might have been hanging around in the church.

Jimmy Bannerman.

New car, designer clothes.

Five months in a young offenders' unit

for assaulting a police officer.

Why is he not top of your list?

So he has a car he can't account for.

So do half the teenagers on this estate.

Jimmy has fought his way through 32 amateur bouts

to get to where he is,

which is a good-looking, popular guy

with a very promising career ahead of him.

In my professional

and not too insignificant experience of this world,

there is no way he would risk any of that.

With all due respect, you have to have been there,

in the ring, to understand the psychology.

- Really? - Mm.

So, where is he getting his money from, Doug?

- I work part time. - Where?

- A bar. - Which one?

Different ones. People give me jobs.

They want me to look good, do well.

I'm big news 'round here.

People take care of me.

I never knew bar work could be so lucrative.

I'm obviously in the wrong job.

I wouldn't swap, if that's what you're asking.

Come on, son. You're on.

People let me have things, pay later.

Sometimes we get cash donations.

I only paid a deposit on the car.

I don't need credit.

People know who I am.

How will you pay it off?

Boxing.

Give me a year, I'll be a millionaire.

Is Jimmy Bannerman going to win this fight

they've put him up for?

You don't understand.

This is his first professional fight.

The opposition thinks he's gonna lose,

but Jimmy's going to knock him right out the ring.

On paper, he could be throwing his career away,

but when he wins, he'll have it made.

All this interest in him. He's got national press.

Everyone wants stories about the estate.

Jacko's making sure this is the big one.

Should he be doing that?

No. I've told him, but he won't listen.

He can't afford another injury. He's our star fighter.

Who? Terry?

I knew the minute he walked in,

just from the way he was carrying his bag.

He's world-class, him.

Gonna be bigger than Jimmy once he's back on form.

There's a chap might have been trying to sell some stuff.

He's a priest, but, uh, could have been in civvies.

This guy.

Don't remember him.

Do many people bring you church artifacts?

There's not much trade in them.

Mm, 'cause if they're stolen and worth anything,

then it's hard to sell them anywhere.

Isn't that right?

Yeah. Mostly they sell abroad, I believe.

Have you had anything brought to you during the last few weeks?

A few things.

Like what?

I don't know.

Some candlesticks.

I had an altar set someone brought me.

An altar set?

- Do you still have it? - No.

How much was it worth?

I gave him a fair price.

I think I gave him about 400 quid.

And who was it brought it to you?

Do you remember?

- Some lad. - A lad?

I had no reason to be suspicious.

Lads turn up all the time with valuable altar sets, do they?

- How old was he, this lad? - I don't know.

Well, what, 15, 16? 18? What?

No, no.

I remember him because he wanted me to throw in a charm

off a bracelet.

Wasn't worth anything, so I did.

It was a boxing glove. He wanted it as an earring.

I suppose he was about 9 or 10.

Liam!

Get here.

What the fuck have you been doing, eh?

- I ain't done anything. - Don't bullshit me, Liam.

I'll kill you.

Why do the police want to come and talk to you, eh?

- I don't know. - Go and talk to them.

My dad'll kill me.

I didn't nick 'em.

I get 'em off the market and sell them for more.

You get what off the market?

The watches.

My dad hit me for stealing, but I never.

Look, we're not interested in the watches, Liam.

We need to know if you took some things from the church to sell.

You've been identified,

and we need to know where you got the altar set from.

I found it.

Oh, you found it? Where?

By the bins.

By the bins?

And you didn't take it back to Father Thomas?

Dad says if it's by the bins, you can keep it.

And you weren't suspicious

when you found out how much it was worth?

I didn't steal nothing, I swear.

And you wanted the boxing charm?

Is that the one?

I didn't nick it.

No. It's great, isn't it?

It really works as an earring.

You like boxing, don't you?

I'm gonna be the best out of all of us.

Me dad and me brothers.

I'm gonna be better than Jimmy, and no one's gonna mess with me.

Especially not my dad.

You get hit sometimes?

Only when I deserve it.

Except them watches. That was your fault.

You made my Dad think I nicked 'em.

And he hit you for that, didn't he?

It don't hurt.

I get hit all the time at boxing.

You got to keep getting hit, then it don't hurt.

Then you box better.

Let's talk about the night that Father Thomas died.

Did you see Jimmy that night?

He says he was with Terry Donnolly that night.

Do you know if that's true?

Was that a "Yes, it's true" or "No, it isn't"?

I saw Terry, but he weren't with Jimmy.

Where was he?

Running.

Running? Terry?

After boxing.

Training, maybe.

Are you sure it was him?

Yeah. He was wearing his bomber jacket.

It's red, and it's got "Champion" on the back.

- Must be lots of those. - No.

It's the one he got for winning the under-15s.

Father Thomas got the sewing club to make it

as a prize for winning.

He had on his baseball cap as well.

It's got silver stripes down the side, like a car.

Where were you?

I've been trying to call you all day.

Your phone's been off.

Hospital.

You okay?

- Not me. Zoe. - What happened?

Hi. Are you Jackie Donnolly, Terry's mother?

Yeah. Is he all right?

I'm Detective Chief Inspector Doug James.

I've got a warrant here to search your flat.

I'd appreciate if you'd let us in before the press get here.

Come in.

Is Terry here?

No.

He's a good boy, my Terry.

He knows right from wrong.

Is he a choirboy?

He was for a bit.

He couldn't really sing.

Then he was an altar boy.

He did a lot to help Father Thomas.

They were very close.

So how's he been since Father Thomas' death?

He's gutted.

Father Thomas really cared about Terry,

got him helping out in the church,

taking his mind off things.

He visited us a lot after Terry's dad died.

Can you show us Terry's room?

Yeah. It's just up here.

He's not usually this untidy.

They've been clearing some stuff out of the gym.

How did your husband die, Mrs. Donnolly?

Overdose.

Suicide?

No. An accident.

He was a junkie.

I wasn't here.

I left when he started doing them kind of drugs.

What kind of drugs?

Heroin. Crack cocaine.

We moved down here to get away from it,

but he started all over again.

Then he starting dealing, then using.

He changed.

Angry all the time.

He kept telling Terry what a bad kid he was.

But he isn't.

Terry's never bad.

He just tries to help, make things better.

How long ago since your husband died?

Four years.

Mrs. Donnolly, I'm sure you understand

that this is a very serious investigation.

I'd be grateful if you didn't talk to the press.

Oh, don't worry.

We had enough of all that after Bertie died.

We just want a quiet life, me and Terry.

We've been through enough.

Dad! No! Please! Dad!

No!

Come on!

Yeah! Come on!

One-two.

One-two-three-four.

One-two-three-four.

I-It's not here. I must have lost it.

Lost it? When did you lose it?

Months ago. I haven't worn it for ages.

Maybe we got rid of it.

I thought it was specially made for you.

Why would you get rid of a jacket

that had been specially made for you?

I did get rid of some stuff a while back to charity.

There might have been a jacket.

What about the baseball cap with the, uh, silver stripes?

- Have you still got that? - Don't know.

No. It's not here.

I can't remember everything I gave away.

Anyway, the night Father Thomas was killed,

you were seen running away.

I'd just had my knee done.

What exactly did you have done?

Torn ligament.

I had it operated. I couldn't walk.

How did you tear the ligament?

Sparring.

- Sparring with who? - Jimmy.

Jimmy Bannerman?

Upstairs. Upstairs.

It was an accident.

I fell out of the ring. I tripped.

He practically knocked you out.

He didn't. He hardly hit me.

What's this, Terry?

Where did you get this from?

Father Thomas gave it to me after my dad died.

His is exactly the same.

This one's mine.

Did you see all those pictures taken with Father Thomas?

There's something odd about that.

A grown man hanging around kids all the time,

giving them things.

Hello, Zoe.

Go back over everything from day one.

Every witness statement, alibi.

Get me someone with a real motive.

Get the Tube.

But...

I want a full report, as soon as you can.

Yes, gov.

What the hell is going on?

We had a row at the hospital,

and I slammed the car door on him.

We was there for a scan. Did he tell you I'm pregnant?

No.

No, he didn't.

But, then, he doesn't tell me very much.

Congratulations.

No. It's awful.

He was going on at me about what happened to Alison

because I turned his phone off and she couldn't get him.

He said I wasn't fit to be a mother

and that I should do the baby a favor

and I should get an abortion.

I went mental.

Come on.

We are the champions!

Hey. Well done.

Well done.

I don't know why you're bothering anyway.

If that priest hadn't been up all their pants,

he'd still be alive.

He's only got himself to blame.

I remember Terry.

He had a torn ligament that we treated with microsurgery.

Nice kid. Funny.

Would he have been able to run afterwards?

Oh, no. I can't imagine why.

It'd be excruciating.

But if he had to?

If he had to, yes, I suppose.

But running straight after surgery

could really mess up the operation.

Would the surgery stop him boxing?

No.

Apart from the time he lost training.

But he'll never box professionally.

He told you that?

No.

He hit his head when he fell, so we checked him out.

There's a condition boxers call a Vera Lynn...

Cockney slang for "glass chin."

It's to do with how the jaw connects

to the base of the skull.

It means Terry can't take a direct punch.

He's lucky we found it.

You can see.

There's already some brain damage.

Does his trainer know about this?

He's still sparring.

I don't know who he's told.

So this would end any hopes he had

of turning professional?

Oh, yes.

Another hard punch could kill him.

Why have you not told anyone

that your hopes of a career in boxing are over?

That is the case, isn't it, Terry?

I didn't want people to know.

Why not?

Jimmy said people wouldn't respect me

if they knew I couldn't box anymore.

You were an altar boy, weren't you?

You held a position of trust.

For a bit, yeah.

Did Father Thomas ever put pressure on you

to do anything you didn't want to do?

How do you mean?

Did he make advances towards you?

No.

No. I'm not that way.

Don't say that. Father Thomas was a good man.

If it wasn't for him, none of us would be boxing anyway.

It costs, the boxing.

All the time, the little ones, they pay a pound a week.

They get given their gloves, their gum shields.

Father Thomas gives them everything,

and half of them never pay anyway.

For the benefit of the tape,

I'm now showing Terry a photo of Denny Wade.

Do you know this man, Terry?

Have you ever seen him with Father Thomas?

- At the church maybe? - No.

What, he wasn't at the church or you don't know him?

I don't know him. I don't know anything.

Well, he was the one who told Father Thomas

where he could sell valuable church artifacts.

Why do you think he'd want information like that?

Was it because certain things went missing

and he wanted to get them back?

Is that what happened?

Liam sold the altar set,

and Father Thomas found out where he'd taken it?

Was Liam getting into trouble?

Well, he is in trouble now, Terry.

It's not Liam. It's nothing to do with Liam.

Are you saying you know something about this?

Because let's not forget

we're investigating a murder here, Terry.

Father Thomas gave us the altar set.

He gave us the altar set to sell.

That's all I know.

Father Thomas did?

Yeah.

To fund the boxing club?

No. To pay for repairs... the roof.

He'd hidden some things after the riots

so no one would steal them.

And he wanted to sell them.

The roof had leaked for years,

so when me and Jimmy went up to have a look,

we got the idea of selling the lead and the copper as well...

To get more money.

But it wasn't meant to be like this.

The roof was going to be stripped anyway.

So what happened?

Why didn't the roof get repaired?

I don't know. I don't know anymore.

Can I have something to drink, please?

What happened to the copper and the lead, Terry?

And the money from the altar set?

And what do you mean, it wasn't supposed to be like that?

Me and Jimmy took down the copper and the lead,

and we sold it for cash.

Did you sell it to Jack Bannerman?

Did he refuse to pay you?

Did Jack Bannerman have a fight with Father Thomas?

No.

Jimmy got the money, but he never passed it on.

Oh, Jesus, Terry.

Because he used the money

intended for Father Thomas' roof repairs

to put a deposit down on his car?

Answer out loud, Terry.

Yes.

He used the cash to put a deposit on the car.

So, after everything Father Thomas did for you,

all the funding and support

and the opportunities to do something with your lives,

you thanked him by stealing?

That's all I know.

Please can I have something to drink?

I'll get Jimmy in.

Yes! 74 1/2 kilos!

Well done, lad.

He's not gonna beat me.

It's what I'm here for. To win.

What's going on? You can't do this!

This is his first professional fight.

Do you know how long we've been getting ready for this?

12 months.

You screw this up, there'll be more than riots.

My hands are tied, Joe.

It's just a few questions. We'll get him back to you.

He's been dropping weight. He's barely eaten for two days.

Oh, I'm sure we can get him a sandwich.

Don't joke. It's not funny.

It will be, though, won't it, Detective Chief Inspector?

It'll be sidesplitting

when we see you fall flat on your face all over again.

Come on, Joe.

Tell me about Terry Donnolly.

What about him?

Why did you tell him not to let anyone know

that his hopes of a professional boxing career were over?

Respect.

He's a top man. They see him like they see me.

The minute they know it's over, no one's gonna be interested.

He'll be sweeping up floors

and cleaning up after the other kids.

Exactly what kind of a relationship

have you got with him?

He's my lucky mascot.

He's at all my fights, and I'm always at his.

Is that all?

I'm not a batty boy, if that's what you mean.

Do we look like batty boys?

What about Father Thomas Martin?

Don't know.

Never tried it on with me. Wouldn't dare.

Did he ever try it on with any of the other kids?

Don't know.

Terry, maybe?

Why don't you ask him?

Come on, Terry.

Did you go to see Father Thomas the night he was murdered

or not?

He said he was going to report us

if Jimmy didn't give him the money.

He said he was going to tell everyone what Jimmy had done.

Did Father Thomas ever involve you in anything illegal?

Illegal? Like what?

- Stealing. - Stealing?

- Mm-hmm. - No way.

My dad would kill me.

So you did see Father Thomas the night he died?

Yeah.

Did you get in a fight with him?

No.

I tried to tell him I'd sort it, but he wouldn't listen.

So I said I'd come back when he could talk properly.

Talk properly? What does that mean?

He was in a rage.

He could get like that sometimes

if he thought you were messing with the church.

But he wasn't making any sense.

I didn't want him getting angry or doing anything stupid.

So, where did you go when you left?

I went back out through the gym to see if Jimmy was there.

I wanted him to talk to Father Thomas.

And was he there?

Yeah.

I told him he had to pay Father Thomas back

or we're all getting into trouble.

He went in, and I waited.

How long?

About 15 minutes.

And then he came out, and he was in a state.

He said Father Thomas was acting all crazy,

screaming about God punishing us

and how he couldn't be my guardian

if I stole from the church.

But then Jimmy said Father Thomas got his penknife

and tried to cut the cross off his belt,

but he slipped and hurt himself.

You've betrayed me!

All the kids that look up to you!

You're a thief!

You're a liar, you thieving swine!

I knew he had,

'cause Jimmy had blood all over his hands

where he tried to stop it.

And what did you do?

Did you go back in to see Father Thomas?

I couldn't.

I couldn't see him after Jimmy told me what a state he was in.

He should have given him the money.

What did you do then?

I gave Jimmy my jacket and his sweatpants from his gym bag.

He took my baseball hat,

and I had to get rid of his clothes.

Why did you get rid of his clothes

when it was Father Thomas who was injuring himself?

He just told me to do what he said

because we didn't want to get into trouble about stealing.

So, what did you do then? Where did Jimmy go?

He went back inside.

And I dumped his things and went home, like he said.

Dumped them where?

The bins... the big ones with everyone's rubbish in.

I opened one of the bin liners and put his things in.

I didn't know what he was going to do.

I didn't know anything till my mum told me.

That Father Thomas had been murdered?

Answer out loud, Terry, please.

I didn't know anything

till my mum told me Father Thomas was dead.

For the benefit of the tape,

Commander Blake has just entered the room

and, uh, D.S. Hall is leaving.

He had this knife... His penknife...

And he was trying to undo the cross from his belt.

He was screaming about how he couldn't be Terry's guardian

if he was gonna steal from God.

He was threatening to call the police,

but then he slipped and hurt himself.

I didn't know what to do, so I went out to see Terry.

Terry was really mad.

He was angry at me for spending the money,

and he was really upset that Father Thomas

was getting so angry, making all these threats.

He gave me his jacket, 'cause I had blood all over me,

and he gave me his hat so I wouldn't get recognized.

Then he told me to go home and went back in to talk to him.

Terry went back in?

Yeah.

Terry went back in to talk to Father Thomas, not you?

Yeah. Terry.

And I went home, like he told me.

Next thing I know, Father Thomas is dead.

So I go 'round to Terry's, but he didn't want to see me.

He made up a story about us playing pool

and made me swear to stick to it.

Then he told me to get lost.

He said we mustn't ever talk about it again.

Why did you agree to lie?

'Cause if my dad knows I've been spending stolen money,

he'll kill me.

How does your dad think you got your car?

From a garage who want to help me.

He's dead straight, my dad. So is Liam.

He only did what we told him.

I know you've got everything against my dad,

but you're wrong.

You were wrong about him before.

You lot were wrong when you arrested me, too.

If your dad's so straight,

why wouldn't he want us to know you'd sold him the lead?

I did it through one of his guys.

He didn't know. He still doesn't.

It was all Terry's idea.

I didn't even know Father Thomas was dead till the next morning.

Do you believe him?

Well, at the risk of sounding like a broken record,

I can't see Jimmy getting into a fight like that

with Father Thomas.

Gov, there's a message from the hospital.

They want to talk to you about Alison.

- Is she all right? - They wouldn't say.

What do you want to do?

Me?

If we're gonna hold on to Jimmy and make him miss his fight,

we're gonna have to let them know.

You'll have to talk to the press.

I don't know!

I just think we're making a massive mistake.

We've got nothing unless one of them change their story.

Nothing except for another public debate

into our incompetence.

Meanwhile, we could be destroying Jimmy's career.

What are you saying?

Let him have his bloody fight

or we could have another riot on our hands.

Right. I should call the hospital.

This could have happened to Alison

even if you had taken the call.

It's not your fault. It's not Zoe's fault.

She switched off my phone. She got in the way of work.

Unwritten rule. You don't do that.

Okay.

Release the boys for the time being.

Go to the hospital, see Alison,

and then, for God's sake, go and talk to Zoe.

There's more to life than just work, you know.

We'll get the boys back in the morning.

Alison.

Alison, I'm so sorry.

I should have taken your call.

You were trying to tell me that you were worried.

Something somebody told you about one of the boys.

Hey.

A dad.

A dad. What, Jack Bannerman?

Drugs.

Before the riots.

Terry's.

Terry's dad?

Terry Donnolly?

Please! Dad!

No!

Can I use the phone?

Hi. It's me. Do me a favor.

Check the original statement from Jack Bannerman...

The drug tip-off that sparked the riots.

Yeah, check which house.

Dad! Please!

Ladies and gentlemen,

fighting his first professional fight...

Six rounds, middleweight division...

32 wins as a schoolboy,

formerly the senior undefeated ABA champion.

Please welcome local boy from the East End of London

Jimmy "The Beast" Bannerman!

Relax. Relax, okay? Nice and easy.

You're gonna do what you do best.

- It's your night. - Where's Terry?

Forget Terry.

It's about Jimmy tonight, all right?

You don't need Terry.

- Is he inside? - Hasn't left, sir.

Away you go.

18.

Oh, fuck.

Number 80, lads. Go!

Is he here?

I want a solicitor.

It's urgent. Is he here?

He's in his bedroom. What's this about?

Was Terry living with you before the riots?

This is important! Where was he living?

I tried to look after him.

I took him with me, but we were in a shelter,

and his dad wouldn't let me keep him.

Your husband took him back in?

Till he died, yeah. And then I came back home.

Dad! No! Please! Dad!

Shit!

Aah!

Aah!

Come on.

What the fuck are you doing?

What the fuck are you doing?

Get off me.

Aah!

On him! On him! On him!

Aah!

He's left. Check out the back of the estate.

- Okay, gov. - Go. Quick.

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

No!

Aah!

No!

Dad! Help me!

You're not a boxer, are you?

You're a batty boy.

Calm down, batty boy.

Ugh! What the fuck are you doing?!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Where's Doug? Is he coming?

- No. - He said he'd be here!

He's not answering his phone, and he hasn't been home.

I'm worried about him.

It's all right. I've done worse shaving.

All right?

Terry?

Terry, it's okay.

I've never been to confession.

Maybe I should.

I've got a load on my mind.

We screwed up, Terry.

All this time, I thought Jack Bannerman had fucked us over.

Before the riots, he told us there was this drug dealer

who was using his kid to fund his heroin addiction.

I know who your dad was, Terry.

He was that junkie, wasn't he?

No!

No! Dad!

I didn't want to steal.

I never meant to lie.

Look at yourself through God's eyes.

He's ashamed of you.

Ashamed of everything you've done!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Please!

No! I'm not one of your sick men!

Get away from me.

You disgust me!

He wouldn't stop looking at me.

His eyes.

Come on. You'll be all right.

Nothing feels real.

Oh, Jesus, no.

Okay.

What are you doing, Jimmy?!

Concentrate!

Come on, Terry.

Oh, God. Oh, God.

Come on, Terry.

Come on, mate.

Come on, Terry.

I've got him here!

Terry?

Terry!

I'm sorry.

No!

No!

I failed him.

We all failed him.

Every one of us deserves to rot in hell.

How can anyone treat their kid like that...

Renting a 10-year-old out to men?

It's not your fault.

I was so busy blaming Jack Bannerman,

I couldn't see what was going on under my fucking nose.

Oh, that poor kid.

You did what you could.

No.

I fucked up.

Did Zoe tell you?

Oh, I just don't think I can do it.

Don't be ridiculous.

You'll be a great dad.

Isn't that what everyone says?

This is the only kind of life I've ever known,

an estate like this.

Zoe's no better.

What kind of a chance can we give a kid?

Wasn't it you who said

that children don't need to turn out like their parents?

Well, you've already proved it, haven't you?

Look what you've achieved.

At least give your kid the chance to prove it, too.
