Part 1 of 3 of the 1987 thriller. While living a luxury life in Spain, notorious criminal Don Weaver learns that his 10 year old son has been murdered and returns home to Liverpool to find out what happened. His ex wife Muriel is less than pleased to see him, but his father-in-law Doyle wants revenge for his grandson's death, leading Weaver to seek out old pal Jack Irwin to help discover the truth. But Irwin wants payment in return for his help, which involves settling old scores and targeting local drug dealer and club owner McFadden...

Starring David Threlfall, Richard Griffiths, James Ellis, Michael Angelis, Leslie Ash, Eithne Browne, Craig Charles, Andrew Scofield, Ray Kingsley and Nick Maloney among the cast. This was from Mick's Nostalgia Channel originally on Youtube before his channel disappeared and one I had the good fortune to save before it went to watch later. I thought I would upload it here as it is not available on video or DVD and this itself seems to be from an old recording from when it was broadcast. Whether it stays up is another matter, as since I last posted on here two old soap episodes have disappeared, neither of which are available elsewhere and both of which were recordings. If it stays up, save it just in case. Oh, and please note that this contains swearing, violence and nudity.

05:58He'll come.
06:18He'll come.
06:38Who told you, Weaver?
06:52Who told you?
06:55Your dad.
06:56You're a liar.
06:57What happened?
06:58He said.
06:59Who killed him?
07:00He never said for you.
07:01Who killed him?
07:02Who killed my son?
07:03Mine.
07:04Not bloody yours.
07:05Mine.
07:06Ours.
07:07His.
07:08Ours.
07:09What?
07:10Tell me how.
07:11He sent for you.
07:12He can tell you.
07:13Police?
07:14Weaver.
07:15You've been away too long.
07:16Kids that age are getting chopped up every night.
07:17Did they ask about me?
07:18I thought that side of it had worried you.
07:19Make me do it.

07:54Let me do it.
07:55You let me spoil your looks.
07:56I told them you were dead.
07:57That was the only good thing about it.
07:58You kept taking the money.
07:59Your four quarters due back.
08:00It's been 12 months, Weaver.
08:01You've been in a tearing hurry to get back.
08:02Traveling, working.
08:03The letter only just caught up.
08:04Well, you go and ask my old man.
08:05He found you and he brought you back so he can bend for you.
08:09I'm a married woman with a kid of my own, legal and legitimate this time.
08:16And I don't want you around spoiling it for me.
08:19I never want to see you again. Do you understand?
08:28No more, Weaver.
08:32Oh, for God's sake, no more.
08:53I've been a lot lower for many, many years.
08:58And I've spent all me money on whiskey and gin.
09:04But now I'll be set with gold in great store.
09:08And I never will blame the world over no more.
09:17The Longfellow First Editions, was it?
09:19It's a complete set of Thomas Mann in the original.
09:33The Anatomy of Melancholy, Folio Society facsimile.
09:44Dwight Maxwell in the corner.
09:49And I never will blame the world over no more.
09:53And it's no, nay, never. No, nay, never, no more.
10:00Will I blame the world over? Oh, never, no more.
10:14I asked for credit. She answered me late.
10:28She'll cost a million. I could get any day.
10:33And it's no, nay, never.
10:44The Avenging Angel and the Whiskey Priest.
11:07That's Brown. He catalogs, checks booksellers' lists, sells.
11:14I buy. I always did like books, Don.
11:19It's not so strange. I've had many callings in my life.
11:24Theft, books.
11:33Revenge.
11:39I wrote the letter.
11:44Let me be careful.
11:48Three months after. Not in the first heat.
11:52Not in grief. I made him write it. There's no work getting done.
11:58What were them running away to Rummy's ruin without that?
12:02Ah, you'll drop before that, Brown. A long day before then, you'll racket your
12:06last and leave me in the lurch.
12:11You missed those. Rummy's ruin. Four titles. He missed four titles.
12:18He made me write. Charles, I'm back.
12:23What I thought I'd seen the last of.
12:29What did you want me to do? He was your son.
12:32I had five years with him. More off than on.
12:37What?
12:40When I wrote the letter, I thought I knew.
12:45You want him killed.
12:49Say it.
12:52You want me to kill him.
12:56Then?
13:03What do you know about it? The whiskey priest
13:06wants justice. And for the price of a stamp,
13:10he got an avenging angel.
13:17As Doyle's great-granddaddy came from Ballyslap Gathery,
13:20the blood of the high kings runs in his veins and his ears ring with tales of
13:24romance, treachery, and avenging heroes. Whereas you, on the
13:29other hand, hail from a long line of half-Scottish
13:32religious maniacs, and you just might be tempted to think of yourself
13:36as God's avenging Protestant right hand.
13:41Don't look for any sense in it. There'll be no more in what you've come
13:46back to do than there was in the boy's death in the
13:48first place.
13:54Hmm.
14:07Six column inches. That's all anyone knows or cares.
14:15Except you, of course.
16:24I'm not so sure as I was when I wrote you, Don, that I want him killed.
16:31Then? Whoever.
16:37Maybe not.
16:41But you've hired yourself the marksman now.
16:44I'm not sure.
16:47Maybe not.
16:50But you've hired yourself the marksman now.
17:47Ah
18:00They don't come here.
18:03The killer would be somewhere else.
18:07Listen, I've got a red star from Tidal South.
18:14You've got to give it to that old Biddy Brown.
18:16He's got a way.
18:22You and me?
18:24Aye, man.
18:26I hate to be a bit flaky like that first thing, but
18:29I'm solid, Don. You can trust me. I swear on his eyes.
18:33I'm going to need finance.
18:35Just say it and it's done.
18:39Well
18:41If it's seasonal, like the shop.
18:45The dirty bags are regular enough, but
18:47we depend on the students.
18:49Term time's a matter.
18:51I'm talking of you, Bob.
18:57I'm talking of you, Bob.
18:59Bob
19:03I've been out of it so long.
19:07But you'll have a bit put by.
19:11I've been doing all right.
19:13But I'll need readies.
19:15Property, eh?
19:19The one game.
19:21You always had that bit extra, Donny.
19:23Castles in Spain, eh?
19:25You want to see my girl?
19:27Eh?
19:39Hark!
19:41I own a fifth of her.
19:43Florida.
19:47I own a fifth of that and I'm stood here like I've never been away.
19:49I own a fifth of that and I'm stood here like I've never been away.
19:55You
19:57It's a mural.
19:59I got nothing from her.
20:01Oh, God sent me, Don.
20:03That afternoon
20:05he was on his way home from seeing me.
20:07She told him to keep away, but
20:09well
20:11once a week
20:13if he'd been where he should have been

22:25I'm in love
22:27I found a cook in the kitchen
22:29and a whore in the bed we're all looking for
22:31You're looking good Weaver
22:33Still in business
22:35I always said
22:37twenty men in a purse net
22:39couldn't catch Weaver
22:41How are you
22:43Never get by
22:45Small is beautiful
22:49Two or three stunts a year
22:51and the clubs are from for the tax man
22:53I'm a man of small ambition
22:57You were right to head out when you did
23:01The self
23:03The magic self
23:07Back for good now
23:09On personal business
23:11I wouldn't linger
23:13It's not safe to walk the streets
23:15Do you see my car outside
23:17Tap dancers
23:19Hey this'll kill you
23:21I was in it at the time
23:23Keeping your heads out
23:25Wasn't that you all over
23:27It pays
23:29If I've not yet been entertained by her majesty
23:31I'd believe that
23:33Couple we did together
23:35You set up like moonshots
23:37Yeah
23:43Anything on
23:45You're asking me
23:49You're the star Don
23:51You're the out of town boy
23:53So
23:55My few grand out stuffed in my sock
23:57But in legal paper and real estate
24:01There's no easy pickings anymore
24:03There never were
24:05It's changed
24:07Too many bold young books
24:11Too many graduates from the institutions
24:15But I kind of stunt
24:19I kind of stunt
24:21Doesn't present itself as
24:23Regularly as it used to
24:25But
24:29We could always talk
24:33One two three
24:35Might have a little help
24:37From my friends
24:41Might have a little help
24:43From my friends
24:47Why did you give him my address
24:55Do it like this
24:57Does this help
25:01Five ashtray statement forms
25:03Only I haven't got any of those
25:09Yeah
25:11Coming back is it
25:13Only this time you're the one asking questions
25:15Well I'll make a statement
25:17I'll make a bloody statement
25:19But you've got to tell me there's some point in it
25:21You've got to tell me
25:23That he's going to find them and kill them
25:29There
25:35Tell Weaver I've thought about it
25:37And I know
25:39There's no law out there
25:41Tell him he can do the one good thing
25:43For the kid he walked out on
25:45And then he goes for good
25:47Or I shop him
25:52But then of course
25:54I might be jumping the gun
25:56Talking about our kind of stunt
25:58I mean
26:00A man in a suit like that
26:02Must have moved on
26:04Still a thief to trade Jack
26:06Like yourself
26:08You've not been laying up
26:10Work ethic
26:12That's me
26:16But the violence
26:18Do you still do the violence
26:21Knock on soft
26:23Not turn the end for the fraud
26:25And the con job
26:27And the easy life
26:29I thought it was all
26:31Computer crime down there
26:33You know you need never break sweat
26:37North or south
26:39You know and I know
26:41What it's always going to be about
26:43Till the ends of time
26:45Is banging people over the head
26:47And taking their money off them
26:49Shh
27:20See what did I tell you
27:22The cook in the kitchen
27:26Don't ever change
27:30Feel good to be back
27:32Our friend here
27:34Is making a rare return visit
27:36To the frozen north
27:38Our friend here is making a rare return visit
27:40To the frozen north
27:49What's this
27:51It's a grape
27:54In the spaghetti
27:58You can take the man out of the bog
28:00But never the bog out of the man
28:05Don't ever change Jack
28:09I can't hang around
28:11Are you playing
28:13It's a peach
28:15I'll take my own mother on this if she could wheel a car fast enough
28:17Shooters
28:19You get them
28:21You in a hurry about something Weaver
28:23You could say
28:27And if we're going to be working together
28:29Swap the threads
28:31Hang up the holiday suit when you get home
28:39Here I am
28:49Here I am
28:53A Welsh word
28:55A Celtic word
28:59The exile's aching to be down his own mean streets again
29:08A Welsh word
29:10The exile's aching to be down his own mean streets again
29:39If they killed him
29:41Because it was a wet night and there was nothing else on telly
29:43Then where's the sense
29:45In what you're going to do to them
29:47Huh
29:49Faith is blind
29:51Belief in purpose Brown
29:53There are subtleties
29:55In religious debates
29:57Someone like you wouldn't understand
29:59If they were to hit you with a frying pan
30:09It could have been something in life
30:11Could your garden
30:13College
30:15University
30:19It could have been anything he fancied
30:22A doctor
30:24Or a lawyer
30:26Oh he had the brains for it
30:30So that makes it worse
30:32That it probably was
30:34Like Brown just said it was
30:37If you go by what the busies left Muriel with
30:45If he'd run with one of the gangs
30:47One of the packs it wouldn't be so bad would it
30:54She did the identity
30:56I was
31:03And where were you Weaver
31:06Where was Dada
31:12How bad
31:16Was he caught
31:19Not caught Weaver

31:37How did they get from A to B
31:41Where he was found to what his name was
31:44Library car
31:47He was a great one for them
31:49And that's it is it
31:55A year on
31:57Nothing else
31:59Nothing
32:03There's something
32:05There's something else
32:07On his eyes
32:17There was a name
32:21The boogies flew it dropped it
32:24Flew it again then dropped it for good
