Comes a Bright Day Page #6

and I know him,

but if I mention

another word he'd kill me.

I'm begging you, please

be quiet.

I saw you put the brooch

in your pocket.

Yeah, I picked it up to

keep it safe for Charlie,

I know how much

it means to him

and I wouldn't put it past

those nutcases

to smash it to pieces.

You've got me all wrong.

Why would my face look

like this

if I was a part of it all?

Because it's very

convincing to the police.

Argh, you've got to

believe me, Mary.

Why?

Why would I ever

believe you?

What were you even doing

in here in the first place?

You're a f***ing liar.

To see you, okay, to ask you

out on a date.

Okay, I got tickets for

the gig next week.

The song you were

whistling to in the caf.

I got tickets to see them.

I wanted to see if

you'd come with me.

Oh, what, you magicked up

two tickets in the few minutes

that you actually had.

I'm begging you please

believe me.

I am not lying.

And I wanna live long

enough to maybe take you.

How did you get

the tickets?

Entertainment fixer remember--

Now please shut up.

What's with

all the whispering?

I was scared.

And I wanted reassuring.

What did you tell

her, Sam?

I'd like to know because

I'm a bit scared, too?

I told her that everything

would be all right...

and to believe

me when I told her that.

Ah, well, thank God, it's

gonna be alright.

'Cause there was

me getting all worried.

Promise me you won't

say anything.

Well, it's not just you

that likes them anyway.

I mean, I like them,

I woulda got the tickets anyway.

Yeah?

Yeah, I'm a big fan.

Really?

# There goes my hero

# Watch him as he goes

See?

That was awful.

You deserve to be shot.

Fair enough.

I'm gonna trust

you because I have to.

Come over here and I'll

have a look at that

thick head of yours.

Lying bastard.

F***!

Oh, dear.

What?

I think I may have misled

Mr. Cameron somewhat.

Oh, great.

I'm gonna

kill someone now.

Someone is about to die.

Papillon.

Papillon.

Papillon, papillon.

Papillon.

I am coming to shoot someone.

Inspector.

You have failed to deliver

and I am

bored, bored, bored

with your delaying tactics.

You have precisely five

minutes from the end

of this phone call to

come back with a firm

and acceptable offer

or someone else will die.

Goodbye.

And they're off.

What's up Clegg, eh?

Cat got your tongue?

What are you thinking?

Enough bloody thinking.

Time for some doing.

You obviously all heard my

short conversation

with the inspector.

If they don't

come back with something

in the next five minutes

I'm gonna shoot one of you.

And just so you have a few

minutes to prepare yourselves

It'll be you!

No!

No take me... I'm the one

that lied to you.

Too easy.

You're gonna live to see the

consequences of your actions.

Do you believe

me now?

Yes.

You shouldn't go away.

Why not?

'Cause being on your own

somewhere else

wont make it any better.

Why are you saying this now?

Because I think if you

found someone you could trust

you would stop running.

I took a chance today,

you should too.

How long have I got, Charlie?

About three minutes,

I think.

Sh*t.

Yes, Inspector?

Wrong answer, Inspector.

Wrong answer.

Get up.

No, take me.

Don't you worry, I'm sure

we'll get round to you,

but right now this mocking

imbecile's time has come.

On your feet now!

Get off

him, you bastard!

Oh, my God!

Move!

Go on, shoot me,

you bastard.

Up against the wall.

You know what'll happen,

don't you?

Enlighten me.

You shoot me and they'll come

in and shoot the pair of you.

Oh, really?

They didn't exactly

send in the cavalry

when they thought she was

popped did they?

Well what

about the negotiation?

Negotiation... how many of

those pills did you take?

I'll make it quick.

No, stop it Cameron!

On your knees!

Stop it,

let him go!

Look, we need to talk

this through.

What, with you?

Go on, shoot me, you

psycho bastard!

On your knees or I will

shoot you where you stand.

Stop it!

You can't kill him.

I can't let this happen.

It's just wrong.

Wrong?

You're not gonna shoot anyone

you dopey cripple.

Watch me.

See... I took

all the bullets out.

Now... stay down.

I suppose you'll be wanting

this then?

You bastard!

Great f***ing disguise,

Carl.

You alright, Sam?

Carl...

Who's Carl?

Carl Thomas.

Elliot and I were at

school with him.

He was like

the school psycho.

Terrorized us.

Will you put in a good

word for me, Sam?

Are you kidding me?

Hello.

Oh, hello, Inspector.

Yeah, it no--

it's over.

Yes, this is Charlie.

Charlie Morgan.

Morgan?

How's that then?

It's delicious.

How are you?

It's been quite day.

I know all about your idea

for the restaurant.

Oh, yeah?

It'll probably always just

be an idea, but...

There you go.

He really admires you,

you know.

Sam.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Jesus, man, what?

How did that go?

I gave mitigating evidence

for Carl Thomas.

Son of b*tch.

Can you believe I tried

to help him?

They should throw away

the keys, man.

Carl Thomas.

What a f***-up.

Want something to eat?

I got to eat

the mushroom risotto.

I had to be taken hostage

but I got to eat it.

And...?

Lovely, lovely.

I've got room for

something else.

Yeah, well, you sit there

and I'll fetch you something.

Well, there's a thing.

Smith.

Mr. Morgan.

You got something

for me?

You were

there for five hours

and you still couldn't manage

to get the bracelet altered?

But Mr. Morgan, I don't

know if you know,

I got caught in a heist

this afternoon.

Well, if you'd have gone

straight to the shop as I asked

you'd have got the watch

back on time.

As it is, I have a guest

that is most unhappy.

I'm going to have to let

you go, Smith.

Are you serious?

Yes.

I am.

Thanks, John.

Give me five minutes?

Sure.

Shouldn't you be lying

down or something?

You cheeky bugger.

What's that?

That is pumpkin tortellini

in tomato sauce.

You like

the look of it?

If it's anything like

the risotto

it's gonna

be all right isn't it?

It's every bit as good.

Oh, thank you.

So he tells me you're a

great cook, Elliot.

I try.

My word.

Delicious.

Thanks.

So have you got a

name for this

restaurant of yours then?

Yeah, "Vici."

"Vici?"

"Vici."

Yeah, I like it.

I came, I saw...

Yeah, I know what "vici"

means, Sam.

Well, you're brother

sacked me.

He bloody sacked me.

Well, it depends how you

see it, Sam.

You could argue that he

just set you free.

Yeah.

You know, that I told you

that my wife

was the clever one?

Yeah.

When she believed in

something, she,

she went for it.

Like when this street

took off.

She put all of our profits

into buying more property.

Like this place.

You get me the budget

by Monday...

And it makes sense to

my accountant.

And you...

better be as good as

he says because I want

a handsome return on

my investment.

Are you serious?

Deadly.

For you.

We're all gonna miss

you, Mary.

I can't.

You tell that story far

better than I do.
