You think I don't know about things ?

Perry, I need this job.

We've been friends for a long time.

Are you taking me

for a c*nt, John ?

Perry, that was a one-off.

John, are you

taking me for a c*nt ?

- It's a very simple little question.

- No. No, of course not.

Well, listen. Take my advice

and f*** off right now...

before I lose my temper,

all right ?

Perry, you--

you can't just cut me out.

Can't ? Can't ?

You just watch me.

The minute that you do business

with those f***ers, you become dirty.

I can no longer trust you.

So now... you're gone.

F*** off.

Nothing personal, John.

I haven't got your money.

But I've got something better,

a new proposition.

Something that will be

worth much more.

-It'll make you a million each. Minimum.

-Come on, Jason.

Let's listen to what he's gotta say.

Perry Elley is flying in

a consignment of coke.

- A big one.

- Mm-hmm.

I know when and where

the drop is going to be made.

I can put you in the right place

at the right time to hit the courier.

We divide the consignment

into four,

and that's a million a piece.

And we get to whack

Perry Elley.

It's perfect.

There are two stipulations.

Stipulations ?

Like what ?

First, this wipes the slate clean.

And ?

And we never cross

each other's paths again.

Why not ? Who wants

to see you again anyway ?

[Laughing ]

[Billy]

So, now they're all in it together.

A nice little

jolly boys outing.

[ Peter] Well, we're gonna need

a four-wheel drive, ain't we ?

The plane will come in

over the top of those trees,

and the pilot will probably set it down

in that stretch of field over there.

They have runway lights

that flick on at the last moment.

Oh, yeah ? Well, what if it's

raining then, like tonight ?

Shouldn't make any difference.

Well, we can hole up over there

for a couple of hours

before they make the drop.

Yeah. Get here nice and early.

And then boom, boom,

f***ing boom.

Take out

the reception committee...

and the courier.

We'll need automatic weapons

and night sights.

Yeah, we can do this.

- When then ?

- Oh.

Soon.

Look, I've, uh-- I got the keys

to the, uh, to the gate here.

You won't want me around,

will you ?

It's not my scene, really.

What's the matter,

ykey ? Squeamish ?

This is a field.

This is where worms belong.

I wouldn't let you miss this,

not for the world.

That goes for you too,

Billy Whizz.

[Jason Humming]

[Jason And Crew]

Who wants to be a millionaire

We do

[Techno]

Who wants to be a millionaire

We do

There's no waywe're gonna chuck

it all away, not what we've got.

- Good.

- Yeah. I mean, we're

really great together.

[Jason]

Get us another bottle, will you, babe ?

[All Laughing ]

Come here.

You know, we've

discovered the secret...

to a happy relationship,

haven't we, Lisa ?

I do what I want,

and she does what I tell her.

That's what works for us.

- And a back hander every now and then.

-[Laughing Continues]

Only it's important to have a secret

when they get to this age, you know.

Once they get past 30,

they start getting saggy, you know ?

imples in their arses,

eh, Lisa ?

And their tits

start to hang down.

And they still wear frilly underwear,

but it don'tlook very nice, no.

But I tell you, they're still handy

for carrying and fetching.

Now go on, get some glasses.

Billy Whizz, give her a hand.

[Laughing Continues]

He's a f***ing arsehole.

Forget it.

I can handle him.

When this all comes off, perhaps

you should bury the hatchet with yke.

- He could be useful.

- Oh, I'll bury it in his f***ing head.

Look, I've made up me mind.

We hit yke

and have his share between us.

About the other night,

I'm really sorry for what I said.

I was hurt, and when

I'm hurt, I lash out.

You just happened

to be in the way.

- Are we still friends ?

- Yeah, no problem.

What about Billy Whizz ?

Can we trust him ?

No. Better do him and all.

[Tapping On Window]

[Keys Drop]

Evening, Billy.

How many of them

will there be ?

About three or four,

I should think.

They'll all have to

be taken out.

[ Sighs ]

F***ing hell.

[Car Approaches]

Wish me luck.

All right, Billy Whizz !

You wanker !

Heckler & Koch MP5.

Fires a standard

Thirty rounds a magazine, eight hundred

rounds a minute on full auto.

F***ing quality.

We couldn't get

the night sights,

so we're just gonna have

to get in close, eh ?

Shall we go ?

What's up, Mr. Worm ?

[ Whistling ]

Who wants to be a millionaire

We do, we do

- Who do ?

- We do !

Yeah !

I'll get the gate, shall I ?

Boom.

[Cell Phone Ringing]

Hello.

Where are you ?

You sound funny.

Yeah ? Yeah,

get a couple of bottles.

[Billy Screaming]

[ Continues Screaming ]

Shut up, Billy !

There's no need

for this, John.

You can keep it all.

Oh, Jason,

you foolish, greedy boy.

There are no drugs.

There is noplane.

You want to mess with me ?

You're not in the same league.

I thought we were mates.

I looked after you in prison.

I'm a man of honor, Jason.

I always pay my debts.

Please.

This is silly.

Billy, you said you wanted to know

how far this was going to take you.

- No ! don't !

- Hold it, John.

- Leave him, Henry.

- He's a witness.

I'm not having this little bastard

hanging over me.

No, no, no.

Leave him alone, Henry.

That's enough for tonight.

Who wants to be a millionaire

They don't

[ Chuckling ]

[ Laughing ]

Hello, Billy.

Yeah, come in.

You can listen to this.

Obviously,

if you don't mind, Lisa.

I had no idea where

Jason was going that night.

Yeah, but-- That's weird though, isn't

it ? It's not very romantic, is it ?

He'd been out of prison for,

what, two weeks ?

I mean, he's hanging out with

all sorts of strange people,

leaving you here home alone.

Don't know who he's with,

where he is.

My husband f***ed around.

Is that what you want to hear ?

- You ever heard of Suzy Welch ?

- Who ?

Suzy Welch. Young girl.

Very pretty.

on't know whether your husband

associated with her in the last

couple of weeks, doyou ?

It's possible.

If she had a cute arse,

it's certainly possible.

Hmm. She disappeared.

And you think Jason's death

may have something to do with it ?

Some one killed him

because of her?

Thanks. Makes me feel really great.

Oh. I've upset you now, ain't I ?

I didn't mean to do that.

All right.

I'll leave you here.

Leave you two in your grief.

Billy.

Used to drive for Jason,

didn't you ?

Yeah, now and again,

but not that night, obviously.

[ Chuckles ]

Obviously.

I'll be in touch.

You didn't think I'd go through

with it, did you ? Admit it.

No.

I did it for you.

Where have you been ?

I've been waiting for two hours.

I've had the police around.

- I'm sorry.

- It worries me how much they know.

Oh, what can they know ?

They know nothing.

The only people who can

tell them anything... can't speak.

Billy can. They know

he drove for Jason.

No. Billy's all right.

on't worry about Billy.

You sure you can trust him ?

No. He's too scared
