CUT TO
//Ian and Carston sitting on the sofa //
Carstons voice has got a lot deeper
Carston:
I'm gonna be straight with you Ian, do you want to know why I had to leave the smoke?
Ian looks confused
London
Ian:
Erm, if you want to tell me I don't mind.
Carston is revealing a secret to Ian he looks round to see if anyones listening in, he is totaly oblivious to the camera, we zoom in and the boom mic should slighty come in shot
Carston:
This is why
Carston pulls out a photograph from his wallet
It's me and the boys. look at us. Strong fit lads, look at the Gunster, good bloke, handsome fella.
Carston stares at the picture
Ian:
You were in the army?
Carston:
Not just the army, SAS bro, SAS. Look at this. (pulls out a dog tag from around his neck).
Ian:
It's got a dent in it.
Carston:
Yep saved my life this did. (tucks it away and takes a swig of whisky) After being with the boys it was back on civvie street for me. Found it hard though, really tough. Had to get out but I tell you they looked after me and here I am.
Ian:
Who looked after you?
Carston:
The Goverment Ian, the goverment.
But I shouldn't really be telling you about all this (Puts photo away). You don't believe me do you?
Ian starts to feel intimidated
Ian:
I do
Carston:
No you don't and I tell you something I can read a man. Look (pulls out his phone) I'm working for the goverment out here look at my phone how many people do you know with The British Embassy in their address book.
Ian:
None
Carston:
Exactly! How do you think I can afford all these bars? Take this for instance Pepes opposite my place, had it shut down and you can't do that with connections.
Ian:
Why did you have them shut down?
Carston:
They were doing a special offer on their Lobster two for one they were undercutting me.Thing is right, I make a call and the job gets done. Proper looking after me. No one'll mess with me E cos at the end of the day right, I can be very very nice or I can be very very narsty. [Mutters to himself ] Yep they look after me [takes a swig]
Ian:
So what do you do for them?
Carston:
It's a cliché Ian, but if I told you that I'd have to kill you.
Ian:
(Nervous laughter) are you some kind of spy?
Carston:
Well I wouldn't be a very good one if I told you now would I? [give Ian a knowing look]
Ian:
[nervous] Erm Okay as far as erm I'm er concerned you're erm er Carston Whelks er party animal. Thats all I want you to be, my brother. I don't know anything else. I don't want to know anything! [pleading] Please can you just be Carston Whelks?
Carston:
[light hearted] Sure no problem [serious], and let's keep it like that shall we? I don't know why Ian, you've just got one of those faces I could tell you anything, I've already said too much.
Carston spots Dawn out of the corner of his eye.
[To Ian all boisterous]..And then I said you and your mum! I don't think so! What do you think I am sick or summink! (Laughs loudly)…(to Dawn) Here she is! (Eminem) #Guess who's back, back again
Dawn Laughs
Dawn:

Carston puts his arm around Ian and gives him a one armed hug
Carston:

Ian:
