You all right?
Did you crash or something?
No. I was just restin'.
What's your name?
Mona.
You don't look like a Mona.
It's not me real name.
It's 'cause of me brother.
I were always complaining as a kid,
so he started calling me "the Mona."
'Cause me real name's Lisa.
Mona Lisa.
Get it?
Yeah, I've studied the original.
I'm Tamsin.
I like your bike.
Yeah? It's a Honda.
I just got it off some gyppos up at the maggot farm.
It doesn't appear to have an engine.
It were only a tenner.
What's the point of a bike without an engine?
Well, I'm getting one next week. Oh, okay.
This is where I live.
I've never seen you here before.
Yeah, but that's 'cause I'm only here on school holidays.
You go to boarding school?
Yeah, but I've just been suspended.
Apparently, I'm a bad influence on people.
Do you want to come in? No.
I've gotta go.
Okay. Well, drop by if you're bored.
You're invited, and I'm... I'm here all summer, you know.
What are you doing?
Have faith in me, eh?
You are a bastard.
It's all you are.
And I want this place back the way it was.
Well, it can't be.
I looked at the pub and I thought, "What have I been doing?"
Yeah. Thank you, Lord. I now see what I can do.
That's right. I won't run this as a pub.
Yeah. I'll run this as a spiritual center...
Amen! so that people can come here and learn about Jesus Christ.
Because we're gonna claim this valley back in the name of Lord Jesus Christ...
because people need spiritual fulfillment.
They need to know that the Lord is there for them. — Yes, Lord.
They need a makeover. Yes, Lord.
They need to know that you're there, Lord. Amen.
Will you help me do this?
How great is the Lord?
We're gonna bring love to this valley.
We're gonna bring the name of Jesus Christ...
to the lost people in this valley.
We're gonna let them know that he's there for them.
Thank you.
God bless you for this. Yes. Yes.
In the precious name of Jesus,
let us bring this idea, this vision from you.
Father God, we lift this pub up to you, Lord.
We thank you, Father God, that you've taken it from the enemy.
Would you pray for this fella? Pray for our brother here now.
Let's anoint him, Lord, in the precious name of Jesus.
Come forth thou. Confess your name to every living person, Father God.
Come to me, my darling. Come to me right now.
Let your fire come.
Let the power just come, Lord. Let it come.
Precious Lord Jesus.
Praise the Lord. That's right.
I pray that you give me more passion, Lord.
More passion.
And just give him the strength.
Let's go out somewhere now.
Somewhere nice like a club or somewhere.
Look, I've... I've had enough of all this.
It's over between me and you now.
What? It were good fun. It's finished.
I've had enough. Get in the car. I'll take you home.
You could have told me that before. Oh, yeah, like I'm gonna.
Get in the car. No, I fucking will not!
- Suit yourself. - You are a Pig!
Hello.
Is Tamsin in? Yeah.
She's in her room, as usual.
Have fun.
That was "The Swan" by Saint-Saens.
I live above The Swan.
The pub.
You live in a pub? Yeah.
But it's not like a pub anymore.
It's more like a temple.
It's me brother. He found God.
Or God found him. He's been born again.
And the pub now is more like...
not so much a place to drink as a place to pray.
Anyway, they're having born-again bingo or something,
so I thought I'd bob off.
So it's just you and your brother in your pub?
Just me, me brother and God.
Is he completely mad?
Yeah.
What happened to him?
He went inside, and he came out funny.
He went to prison? Yeah.
What for?
Robbery, burglary,
fighting people.
What about your parents?
I don't know me clad,
and me mam's dead.
What'd she die of?
Cancer.
My sister died of anorexia.
Oh, no.
That's her there.
That's Sadie.
She's really beautiful.
Yeah, she was.
Do you think I look like her?
Yeah.
Have you read Nietzsche?
Who? Nietzsche.
This great philosopher, and he just believed that, you know, people——.
There are some people that are just put on this planet who are made to succeed,
they were just made to blossom,
and it doesn't matter how many lesser mortals suffer and get fucked over.
It doesn't matter, as long as they succeed.
You know, like Shakespeare and Wagner and...
And your brother.
All that crap. I mean, Nietzsche would string him up.
All that stuff about God.
God's dead.
God's dead. This is what's real. This here.
The here and now. Yeah.
You should read him. You...
I think you'd like him.
Or Freud, you know.
So, what are you gonna do with your life?
I'm gonna be a lawyer.
I'm gonna get a job in an abattoir.
Work really hard.
Get a boyfriend who's, like, a bastard.
And churn out all these kids, right?
With mental problems.
And then I'm gonna wait for menopause.
Or cancer.
Come and drink here, Father,
that they would know you, Father,
that they would honor you, Father,
that they would drink from you, Father,
from the fountain of life.
God is dead.
Ahh! Night, Brother.
Okay.
I'll just go and talk.
What were all that about, Mona?
I don't know.
It's just you and your friends down there...
You crack me up. Sorry.
Just really make me laugh.
Especially with you being the ringleader.
I mean, you——.
Why are you always trying to hurt me?
Because I think you're a fucking fake, that's why.
What is wrong with you?
I just miss me brother.
I'm here.
That ain't you.
It ain't.
Mona, this is me.
This is the real me.
I want the old Phil.
Well, that old Phil, he didn't make me very happy.
He made me happy.
I loved my brother.
He used to be real.
I haven't got any family.
Me home's changed.
No one fancies me.
Come here.
I'm here.
Lord Jesus, watch over this child.
Oh, no!
Watch over my sis... Fuck off!
Fuck off!
I'm looking for Mona. Is she here?
Aye, she is. She's in there.
Thanks.
Can you just wait here?
On your left-hand side.
What's he making?
A cross.
He's putting it up at the top of the hill to cleanse the valley of evil.
Now, these are nice.
Thanks.
They were me mam's... when this used to be The Swan.
Are you clone? Yeah.
I've got a cab waiting outside.
What for? 'Cause we're going.
Where? You'll see.
Okay.
