to say anything.

So, how are you ?

Is the burden of knowledge

weighing you down ?

No. I'm fine.

It's like I told you, Billy.

It's moments like this

that will make you...

or break you.

Have the police been to see you ?

Yeah. There was a smart arse

Old Bill around Lisa's.

- What did he ask you ?

- Nothing.

- He just give me his card

and said he'd get in touch.

- Good.

We must expect this, Billy.

It's perfectly normal.

They'll be questioning

all his associates.

I'm sure they'll be

talking to me at some point.

The situation

is very simple, Billy.

The only people who

know what happened...

are you, me and Henry.

The other people who knew...

are, of course, dead.

Mr. ., you know, I--

I, like--

I wouldn't say a word

about this to anyone.

Look. All this work

for a drainage trench.

Can you believe how obsessed

Henry gets about this garden ?

I'm bringing a shipment in

this week.

I wanted to make sure

I could rely on you.

Y-Yeah, ofcourse.

Nothing's changed.

Now tell me, how's Lisa ?

I haven't seen her for awhile.

Uh, she's a bit upset.

I want you to, uh,

look after her a bit.

drive her around, make sure

she doesn't come to any harm.

I'm worried about her.

I'm taking over

the business, Beverley.

- I want the books.

- Go f*** yourself.

Lend me one of your vibrators,

and I will.

Which one's been your favorite

since Peter got splattered ?

You b*tch !

F***ing try that again,

I'll f***ing do you !

What gives you the right to think you

can just come in here and take over ?

'Cause who's gonna stop me ?

You, Beverley ?

don't make me laugh.

Look at you.

This place. This stuff.

You got your drinks trolley,

chandelier, piano.

Can you even play

the piano, Beverley ?

And how'd you get all of this, eh ?

Of of Jason's back.

- That's how.

- You're the one's who's

got everything on your back.

don't annoy me, Beverley. The terms

are getting worse all the time.

Now, you can keep

this house and the cars.

I'm taking over the doors.

If you have a problem with that,

you can have a chat with Kiri Christos

about the money you owe him.

What am I supposed to live on ?

Yeah.

I've been thinking about that.

Remember? That's what Peter

was paying me when Jason was inside.

That's when he wasn't trying

to get inside my knickers.

Fair's fair, eh, Beverley ?

Where now ?

I keep turning it

over and over in my mind.

I must have been speaking to him

just before he died.

Yeah ?

- Where were you, Billy ?

- Me ? I was at home watching the telly.

Well, I knew they were

planning something.

Why didn't they

want you to drive 'em ?

don't know. They were all

very secretive about it.

- You wouldn't lie to me,

would you, Billy ?

- I weren't there.

So, who do you think done it ?

don't know. Perry Elley ?

What about John yke ? do you think he

could have had anything to do with it ?

No. Mr. . ? No.

Why, do you ?

I don't know.

There's just something about him

that's not quite right.

Lisa, there's--

- there's something I gotta tell ya.

- What ?

It's been playing on my mind.

What has ?

It's about Jason.

And just, like--

The way he died.

[ Sighs ]

How did he die, Billy ?

I just--

I just keep thinking it-- it's

gonna happen to you and me.

[Cell Phone:
'"Jingle Bells '']

- Hello ?

-[Dyke]

Billy, the groceries are ready.

Oh, right, yeah.

Um, I'll be there as soon as I can.

- Where are you ?

- I'm at home. I'm on me way.

Where's Lisa ?

I, uh, I-I-- She went shopping.

I dropped her off.

Okay. Be as quick as you can.

[ Beeps ]

[ Engine Hissing ]

Yeah, you f***.

F***.

I had high hopes of you, Billy.

Thought you had brains.

[ Chuckles ]

Not like those other animals.

I was prepared to help you.

[ Chuckles ]

I knew you'd make mistakes.

Then you went too far.

She belongs to me, Billy.

I don't want you to touch her!

[ dialing Cell Phone ]

You wanted to know

where this would take you.

Billy, it ends here !

[Cell Phone:
'"Jingle Bells '']

[ Stops ]

[Engine Starts]

You f***er !

Lisa, it's me. They just f***ing

shot me. I can't believe this sh*t.

- Are you okay ?

- No, I f***in' ain't okay !

They just tried to kill me ! Why didn't

you tell me about you and yke ?

- What the f***'s going on ?

- Listen, it's a little difficult.

Little difficult ?

Well, I'll tell you something, Lisa.

They f***ing killed Jason.

Okay. Can you drive ?

did you hear what I just said ?

They killed Jason, Lisa.

- I f***ing saw them.

- I can't talk right now.

- Can you drive ?

- Yeah, I can drive.

- Okay. I'll meet you at number six.

- Number six ? The motel ?

- Yeah, that's right.

- You will be there ?

Yeah, I'll be there.

don't f*** me up, Lisa.

I need you.

I'm really sorry, Perry.

Something's come up.

It's girl stuff.

Can we continue this later ?

Oh, that's a shame. do you know

they make these with fresh fruit ?

Tell you what.

You can have my cherry.

[ Panting ]

We can't stay here 'cause

he'll come here. He'll find us.

It's all right, it's all right.

We're safe for the time being.

- Let's get you out of this.

- It f***ing hurts.

It's okay. We've gotta get you

cleaned up, get you in the bath.

Why didn't you tell me

about you and him ?

There's nothing to tell.

He's got some sort of

obsession with me, that's all.

Just got out of hand.

Well, he's just tried to f***ing

kill me. He nearly did and all.

- He'll kill you too.

- Let's deal with

one problem at a time, eh ?

What have you done here ?

Well, we got them " E's" next door.

We can sell them two bags of pills

and just get out of here.

What do you think ?

I'm gonna need some antiseptic,

some tweezers and a dressing.

What's the time ?

Look, I'm gonna find

a late night chemist.

I'll take your clothes

to the laundry too.

We can't have you checking out

covered in mud.

Come on, drink up.

What do you think ?

I think it's a really good idea, Billy.

Just you and me together.

Well, don't be too long.

I won't.

-[Door Closes]

- [ Coughs ]

[Cell Phone Ringing]

Where are you ?

don't know.

You sound funny.

[Lisa]

Good-bye, Jason.

[Cell Phone Ringing]

[Ringing Continues]

- Hello.

- Good-bye, Billy.

John, you don't

have to do this !

I didn't know nothing

about you and her !

I swear to God !

I wouldn't have happened if I had.

John, John, here's the gear.

Look !

I'm not gonna keep it.

You have it.

I'll go away, John,

and I'll never come back !

You'll never see me again !

John, I won't say a f***ing word !

I'll disappear !

[Detective On Megaphone]

We are the police! We are armed!

Come out of the cabin

with your arms up in the air !

Come out of the cabin.

Walk forward.

Walk forward!

Get down on your knees.

Face down. Face down !

Now spread your legs.

[Billy Laughing]

[Billy Narrating]

It was... very funny.

It was hilarious.

I mean, Mr. D. 's gonna kill Lisa,

and I've become a liability.

And now she's rubbing noses

with Perry Elley.

-She needs both of us out ofher life.
