Circus Page #7

Synopsis: Bruno, a sadistic criminal, wants clever con man Leo out of the way. Leo and his equally clever wife, Lily, are up to something. So too is Julius: he hires Leo to kill Gloria, Julius's wife. Leo does it, but then Julius shows up with the murder on tape, saying Gloria isn't his wife - it's blackmail. Leo's bookie, Troy, is also closing in, wanting to be paid. Bruno and Lily as well as Bruno and Julius have their own scams running, and Leo is their target. Maybe Leo can get Troy off his back, avoid Moose (Bruno's huge enforcer), send Gloria's corpse out of England, turn the tables on Bruno's murderous brother Caspar, and outfox Lily. Or is Lily his fox? It's a three-ring circus.

He's my friend.

Right.

God!

- He's dead! | - That's what tends to happen.

- Here. | - What?

To the good life.

To the good life.

The good life.

Let's go. We've got a train to catch.

Leo, I can't find my passport.

- I had it and then... | - Here!

Where the f***...

- Where did you find it? | - Where you left it. Come on, let's go.

Give me the keys. I'll drive.

F***ing great!

We have done something | really impossible here, haven't we?

To me it's like Mlsslon f***ing Impossible!

"We f***ing done it!"

Come on, | let's keep it a secret for just now.

All right.

Excitement has gone to my head now. | God, I'm dizzy.

Well, that'll be the champagne.

- No, I had only two sips. | - Two's plenty.

- God. | - Just take deep breaths.

Don't worry, you'll be all right. | It'll soon pass.

After that you'll feel a sense | of euphoria you never thought possible.

What the f*** have you done?

I've drugged you, slipped you a Mickey.

Slipped you a Mickey Finn.

- Why? Where? | - In the champagne. In the flat.

It's all right, it's not fatal.

- Now, why would you... | - You kicked my cat!

What?

You were never meant to play the game. | You don't have the brains or the balls.

I'm doing you a favour.

Come here, listen. | You don't have long. Listen to me!

When you wake up, | if you're not under arrest...

...I'd clear off out of here. You know why?

There's a dead man in your flat | and your prints are all over the gun.

Do you understand?

Just to show that I'm not all bad, | here's a ticket to Paris.

It's not what you were expecting, | but it's better than a kick in the teeth.

It's been fun, Juli.

Don't.

I thought that was you. Catching a train?

- Can you get them from here? | - That's the rumour.

- How are you? Game still going? | - Course. Want to join us?

Let us win some of the money back | you won last time.

I'd love to. No, I've got to catch a train. | Some other time.

- What train are you catching? | -7:09.

You've got plenty of time.

Sorry, Magnus. Tempting though.

I'll tell you what, | you change your mind, come on up.

Sure thing. See you later.

You made it then.

We did it, didn't we?

It's all here.

I told you it would work.

Yeah, you did.

I love you, | you tricky short-arsed Scotsman.
