IMDb: 8.2 Cook is now living with sometime girlfriend Emma in Manchester and drug-running for gangster Louie along with Louie’s henchmen Jason and Rob. He is extremely secretive about his past. Louie entrusts him with driving his girlfriend Charlie as she is house-hunting though Cook is surprised when she asks to be dropped off at a council estate. At a party Cook intervenes when Jason tries to have rough sex with an unwilling Charlie and gets beaten up for his pains. Emma cleans him up but he advises Charlie to be wary of Louie and finally admits to her that he has killed a man. They end up having sex. At the house-warming party Louie reveals that he knows that Charlie has been unfaithful and drowns Jason in the swimming pool. Cook tells Emma he thinks that they should leave Manchester but as they are driving away he gets a call for help from Charlie and, against Emma’s advice, heads back to see her.
