Why the hell didn't you warn me?

Why didn't you tell me anything?

You need a drink. Come on.

"That's llfe

"That's what all the people say

"You're rldlng hlgh In Aprll

"Shot down In May

"But I know I'm gonna change that tune"

Shut it!

- You want a carrot juice? | - No, you got something stronger?

No, it's better for your arm. | So what happened?

Leo turned up with the money, | as arranged.

And so far, so good. Then, these men...

...they started pulling up guns.

- Now, why didn't you warn me? | - I thought it best.

Now, what happened to Leo? | Was Moose there?

He was there.

I think he was disguised as a monk. | He had some...

Now, what happened to Leo and Moose?

What happened? | I'll tell you what happened.

Okay, we put our guns down.

We just walked into | the wrong greasy spoon.

Happens all the time.

All these f***ing places look alike.

For a moment, I thought It was | gonna be all rlght, but then...

...there was thls man and bang, bang.

"Lylng flat on my face

"I just plck myself up | And get back In the race

"That's llfe

"And I can't deny It

"I thought of cuttlng out, baby | But my heart aln't gonna buy It"

And Leo, too?

Yes.

"I'm gonna roll myself up

"In a blg ball and dle

"My, my"

Nothing else stands in our way.

We've just got to get the money to Lily. | Have her sign the documents.

In two hours this is a done deal. | All the dogs you want.

Kennels in the Caymans.

Let's do it.

Yeah.

So, I'll just need your password.

No offence, Juli.

It's done. The money's ready and waiting.

- How the f***ing hell did you get in? | - We've got a problem.

Julius turned up | at my place 20 minutes ago.

I should've guessed something was wrong. | He was in too much of a hurry.

You're the best lover I've ever had.

What did he want?

He just dropped off this case and left it.

This is all that was inside.

Hello, Llly, Bruno.

Surprlse!

- What the f***? | - Just keep watching.

Now, I bet you're saylng, | "What the fllpplng heck's golng on?"

Well, let me explaln.

Are you slttlng comfortably? Good. | Then I'll begln.

Once upon a tlme | there was a wanker called Bruno.

Now, Bruno the wanker, | had a blg tax problem.

Hls naughty accountant had embezzled | lots of money from Bruno's shlpplng flrm.

So, to stop the Inland Revenue | from sendlng hlm to prlson...

...Bruno the wanker, | planned to use you, Llly, as a patsy.

Along wlth hls | whlz kld new accountant Jullus...

...he was gonna slgn | Maltland Internatlonal Shlpplng to you.

They had a Dutch conglomerate | ready to pay an elght-flgure sum...

...Into a numbered account In the Caymans.

How does he know?

You're wonderlng how I know all of thls.

Slmple. It was my Idea.

You got careless. You trusted Jullus, | but he was worklng wlth me.

Jullus may have seemed llke | he was born yesterday, but he wasn't.

He was born the day before yesterday | and that's a blg dlfference.

He was a good student.

And Bruno and Lily have been playing us | like a couple of mugs.

I'm not interested in the winnings or | the money, I just want to make them pay.

How do we make him pay, Leo?

There's no way he can get the money.

Honestly Bruno, you've seen | too many old spy movles.

You really should have consldered the fact | that you know f*** all about computers!

- Did you sign anything? | - What? No.

I'll bet rlght about now, | you're asklng Llly If she's slgned anythlng.

'Cause you know the deal can't be done | untll Llly's Jane Hancock's...

...on a plece of paper.

Go check the top drawer of your desk.

Where the f***ing hell is it? Come on!

I can slgn your slgnature | better than you can, Lll.

Whlch means, we have the password | and we have the paper to back It up.

Cocksucker!

Whlle you're watchlng thls, | $20 mllllon US...

...Is wlnglng Its way to the Caymans.

Just not to your account, Bruno.

This is all going f***ing wrong!

I f***ing want my mum!

It was clever of you to thlnk of Glorla.

For God's sake, this is not working, luv.

When I start strangling you, | you start bending over the table.

I've had punters throttle me | harder than that.

- Should I stop now? | - Yeah, stop now.

Look, I don't know | what you want me to do.

For a plle of cash | and a one-way tlcket to somewhere else...

...she was a rlght llttle Meryl Streep.

Honestly Lll...

...you and Bruno used Jullus to con me.

Bruno and Jullus used you to con | the Inland Revenue.

Whlle all the tlme, | me and Jullus are uslng you to con Bruno.

It's llke a Greek tragedy | wlthout the yoghurt.

Some people wlll say, "I marrled money. " | But who cares what they say?

I'm stlnklng. I wln, you lose.

The end.

I don't believe it.

Is Leo dead or...

Move your ass!

- Where are we going? | - After Julius, you dumb sh*t!

Where the hell is my passport? Sh*t!

Okay Julius, it's gotta be here somewhere.

Oh, Jesus.

You f***!

How could you betray me? | I treated you like a son!

Don't shoot him, you prick!

I wouldn't waste | my f***ing bullets on him.

Where's the f***ing money?

It's in the bag! It's in the f***ing bag!

- Here! | - Put the gun on him.

Is that the right amount?

- Does Leo have a copy of this? | - No, that's it.

All right. You can shoot him now, Bruno.

With pleasure, you little f***!

Open wide.

Why don't you come out | from under Bruno, Julius?

Much nicer over here.

You f***, Leo!

How could you? I was like a father to you.

Yeah, you were.

He was a complete bastard, too!

Though my real dad never conspired | with my wife to have me killed.

Lose the piece.

Kick it over here.

How did you find my password?

You said I was the only one who'd know.

You believed me?

- Julius is a very clever fellow. You okay? | - Yeah, it's no problem.

He Installed a programme | that records every keystroke.

Hello.

Even the ones | that make up your password.

You know this won't work. Bruno won't | let you leave the country alive.

- That much I promise. | - Frankly, you're in no position to stop us.

Okay...

...you get out the country, then what?

Where do you go?

Which country don't I have contacts in?

Hadn't thought of that one, had you?

We wouldn't be safe anywhere | once Bruno raises the alarm.

I guess you're just not allowed | to raise the alarm.

Are you gonna go | and f***ing kill them, now?

Yeah, of course.

- Wait. You can't shoot me. | - Why not?

Because if you shoot me, | you gotta shoot Lily, too.

- And you wouldn't want to do that. | - Shut up, Bruno.

Well, he's right.

Now, I'm in a quandary.

- Do that thing with the coin. | - What?

Do that thing with the coin.

Any last requests?

I'm sorry, Lil.

F***!

Your turn.

What?

I shot her. It's only fair you shoot him.

I can't shoot anybody...

Yes, you can. You just point the end | with the hole away from you.

Julius, wait a minute.

- There's still a way out of this for you. | - Julius, let's get this done and leave!

You just squeeze the trigger, | nice and easy. Yes, you can.

He won't do it, you know, Leo.
