But I know who I am now
and I'm not hiding it any more and I'm not gonna be ashamed of it any more.
You know lad, once upon a time
you could have been banged up for this.
A sweaty little bum bandit,
spitting in the face of all that's decent.
You have the temerity to swan down here,
cool as you please,
and confess all to me.
Well,
hats off to you, son.
It takes guts to do what y0u've just done.
You what? 0h, yes.
You're an example to us all.
You're forthright.
You're honest.
Unashamed of your.
inverted state.
And what's more,
there's a lot of money in this pink pound.
We're gonna make sure that everybody hears about this.
- What? - Oh, yes.
You should be proud of yourself.
Out and proud.
There's gonna be a lot of disappointed ladies.
But some very happy men.
Prejudiced? Bigoted?
He were more like a social worker.
He praised me, he commended me.
He thinks there's money in it, that's all.
The pink pound, like he said.
Stephen Gateley thing.
It's his parsimony,
his meanness is outweighing his bigotry.
The book is not wrong. We just have to use it more skilfully.
- It needs more intelligent application. - Yeah,
Well how's this for intelligent application?
We're buggered. We're worse off.
We can't have Rafiq on stage, so there is twice as much work.
I can't go near a woman for fear he'll cut my cock off
and eat it in a sandwich.
- Brilliant. - What are you on about?
I have to pretend I'm homosexual now or had you forgotten?
Dean, nothing good comes easy.
I'm not giving up.
D'you understand?
Mikey?
Mikey? Be careful and look after your sister.
OK.
- Mum? - Yeah.
Why's Dad being such a tosser?
Leeza! Don't speak like that about your father.
He gets all weird if I talk about boys.
The rest of the time, he just goes on at me about stupid things.
Mikey, you're not a monkey.
It's a difficult time for your dad.
Why?
Has he ran out of crap '80s songs to sing?
You're the same age now he was when he had you.
- So? - That makes him feel old.
That's not my fault, is it?
He doesn't have to get all crabby with me.
He loves ya.
Mikey?
Mikey?!
Mikey? Mikey, where are ya?
Mikey?!
Mikey?
Mikey? Mikey?
Mikey?
Here they are.
I told you they wouldn't be long, didn't I?
I found him wandering in the street near Ruddly Park.
We nearly ran him over, didn't we?
I recognised him straightaway, of course.
He's got his daddy's good looks.
Right.
Since I'm here,
we might as well talk turkey.
There's no need for any unpleasantness.
I think you will find,
despite what you might have heard,
that I'm very fair to deal with.
I've had your contract completely redrawn.
You're secure with me now for the next three years, minimum.
You what?
Well, the I's have been dotted and the tittles tatted.
Thank you. As a mark of respect...
..for you and your family. ..
..I'm going to make you a little tax-free payment.
Look upon it as a bonus. A luxury holiday,
upgrade the car, something nice for the kids.
There's no need for anyone to do anything rash...
..or stupid. Swan off somewhere else.
London, say. Which could only lead to disastrous consequences all round.
No. We're all doing very nicely as is.
Is this your eldest?
Very beautiful young lady.
I thought at first you must have been sisters.
Right. Well... Best be on me way.
Very nice.
You're set in stone now. My little diamond.
What are you doing? Connor, what are you doing?
- We're going to London. - What?
- We're going to London tonight. - London?
We're going to London, we're gonna start again and get new management.
- I don't understand. - We've got a new deal.
- We're getting a new deal. - You never even mentioned it.
That's what all that was about with him?
It's telly, it's a TV show.
I mean, I'm thinking about all of us. It's an opportunity.
- Opportunity for what? - To make it, to be famous.
What do you think people go on telly for? To make something of our lives.
- Our lives are fine. - Carol!
You've got a family. You've got a life here. You're 32 years old.
Yeah, and how old was Chico?
I swear to God,
the only thing standing between me and it is that stinking troll.
And I'm not gonna let him stop me.
I wanna go. I want to go. Why can't we go?
- We're not going. No-one's going, Leeza. - You never listen to me.
Leeza! I can't believe you.
The worst thing is starting a fight with him over it.
He will take it out on all of us, not just you.
He's been gone already snatching Mikey.
jesus, Connor! What are you thinking? What's the matter with you?
You are not putting my kids at risk for this.
"When confronted, a troll will always speak the truth."
'For his kind sees the truth all too clearly '
"and he is condemned to act from it."
Hello?
Hello!?
Now then, lad.
What brings you trip-trapping down here at this hour of the day?
We've got a problem. The band, BillyGoat. We're falling apart. And it's your doing.
Sorry if it feels like I've been messing you about of late.
But I won't be messed about either.
The likes of me have to stand firm. Otherwise we go under.
It's not like you're Danny Argyle who I rescued from the sauce,
turned his life around and he just wants to shit all over me.
You are a young man.
..relatively.
- You're ambitious, I quite understand. - Yeah, that's why I'm here.
An opportunity's arisen and I'm gonna take it. I've got to take it.
We should be hitting the big time. We're too big for this town, we're too big for you.
- You've got to let us go. - You know, when I started in this business,
I used to promote wrestlers.
Then you had your big time guys. Your Crabtree, Nagasaki, Haystacks.
And then had you the guys I worked with, Cart Rigger Tony,
Barry Blaster, Dr Tentacles, bless him.
Now, they were money spinners too but they played a different game.
Well, I'm not one of them.
This company, these London big shots,
how long are they signing you for? Six months? A year?
They're laughing at you.
Take you, take what you do, make a bit of cheap television out of it.
Look at it in the face, son. You're a top local turn.
But that doesn't make you the next Take That.
So what? There's plenty will swap with you.
You earn good money. And all the locals adore you.
Me, I can't walk down the street without someone spitting at me.
You're lying. We're your biggest money-spinner.
Your best act. You don't want to lose us and you're lying.
Lying? I don't know what you mean, son.
Tell me the truth.
You know how to fill a stage. You know how to work a crowd.
But what these other guys do, these Robbies and your Ronans and your justins,
that's something else.
It's a rare thing, despite what people think.
And I can tell, without a shadow of a doubt...
..it's not in you.
I'm not letting you go, son.
For your own good.
That's an end to it.
A troll will always speak the truth?
No, he doesn't. He's a liar.
"A troll cannot abide the heat from a summer's day."
'No troll can swim.' No troll can swim? It's all rubbish!
Crap!
A load of bloody. . .old. . .crap.
All of it.
Dad?
If he was out of the way, that troll.
If someone did for him, you could go to London, couldn't you?
He's not going anywhere.
Well. . . people don't much like trolls, do they?
What if. ..I was to say he had done something?
Misbehaved, you know? Tried it on.
- Leeza? - Well, it happened before, didn't it?
It was a big deal, I remember it in the paper.
Some girl over in Keighley.
Folk go mad, don't they, at the thought of
- trolls with people? - No, Leeza.
They'd put him away though. For a long time, wouldn't they?
I don't mind, Dad.
- I just want to see you happy. - No.
- I love you. - I said no.
Hi, can I have the number for Toggemburg Police Station?
In Toggemburg. Yeah, put us through.
I won't if you don't want me to.
- Are you Grettongrat the troll? - No, I'm Kylie Minogue.
Don't ask such daft questions.
Grettongrat the troll, you don't have to say anything,
but it may harm your defence if you don't mention
when questioned something you later rely on in court.
Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
Sir, they won't do up.
I've never been near the girl.
Do you think I'm mad?
So, why have we got a sworn statement to the contrary from the girl in question?
Listen, son.
Is there any other evidence?
Apart from the girl's testimony?
Anything. . .f0rensic?
This isjust a load of nothing.
It's vitriol.
Bitterness.
Yeah.
Yes.
OK, thanks.
They're dropping the charges.
- What? - They're dropping the charges.
You mean they're letting the filthy bastard get away with it?
The case isn't strong enough.
Not strong enough?
He lures her in with
talk of being a model and tries to assault her.
What more do they want?
You are not gonna leave it at that, Connor?
Connor?
It seems to me we've got a simple choice here.
We can either put up with this kind of thing,
- in the heart of our community. - No. Never.
Or we can stand up to it.
We can say, 'Enough!' We can say, 'No.'
Yes!
Right. You lot. Clear off. Go on.
Before I call the police.
Yeah. Your mates down the station.
How much did it cost to pay them off, eh?
Empty slander, that's all this is.
Ask him.
He knows.
- Are we gonna take this? - No. - No, we're not.
I'm not going anywhere, son.
I've stood up to worse than you.
Is that right?
He says he's not going anywhere, what do you think?
Should he stay or should he go?
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Get him!
We don't want you here. We have had enough of your kind,
your rules, your lawbreaking.
He shut me in a box of nettles.
Go on. Get him. Kick the shit out of him.
You terrible stinking bastard!
Why are you doing this?
I've done nothing but support you.
I put you on stage.
Helped you make the most of yourself.
I gave you an opportunity,
when nobody else would.
Teach him a lesson.
We should teach him a lesson.
Kill him. Burn him.
Hang him upside down and bang nails into him.
Do it. Go on. Do it. Go on.
What about a dip in the water, eh?
We could cleanse him of his sins.
Kill him.
Go on. Get him.
I can't swim.
Rubbish.
No troll can swim.
No more lies.
Leeza?
Leeza, love.
What's the matter?
Mum...
What?
I've done something terrible.
What? Leeza.
All right, mate?
Looking good.
Yeah. You too.
Hey, I got you a coffee.
Short let in Finsbury Park.
All right for about six months.
Cheap enough.
Even if nothing comes from this.
Sit it out, explore our options.
- Something has come of it. - What?
- Something has come from this. - What do you mean?
Oh, brilliant.
You're out of the band, Rafiq.
What?
You're out of the band.
I'm sorry.
What are you talking about?
Brother-based boy band.
They were stricter about it than we'd hoped.
- You bastard. - just the way it is.
It's the nature ofthe business.
I've given up me job.
- My life. - Don't talk to me about what y0u've given up.
All right?
Look, it's a tough world out there.
No-one gets anywhere without making a sacrifice.
It's just me and our Dean now.
Rafiq?
Get back up there, just start again.
And as for the troll, no-one knows for sure what became of him.
Some say he perished in the cold and icy waters ofthe River Togg,
a victim of blind ambition and hateful prejudice.
Others, that he was swept out to sea and picked up by a cruise ship
where he took over the onboard entertainment
and single-handedly turned the ailing company
And Billy Goat?
Oh, you can go in now.
Which is why I want to ask about that clause...
27-A: The option clause.
We only sign it with you till next year and
- We just wondered what happen after that. - One day at the time...
We're just checking to see if there's life after next year.
Really, relax,
don't worry.
Just put yourelves in my hands.
Trust me.
