Ivel Road.

Take Sarah to the car.

What?

If you want your money,

do what I'm telling you.

What about him?

I'm gonna take care of that.

Come on, then. Up.

What's happening, Dad?

All the best, Dave. We'll make sure

she gets home all right.

Yeah, you take care, Stevie.

God bless you.

Oh...

Gotta be the worst day of my life.

- Ray...

- Yeah?

Can't we sort something out here?

For old times' sake and all that?

What about old times for Bill and Linda?

I didn't... mean to kill them.

Bill hit me on the back of the head.

Game old bastard, isn't he?

Then his wife...

Linda!

Yeah.

She recognised me right off.

I had no other choice, Ray.

Down all the years...

I've had grasses.

I've had people turn QE on me.

I've had people pull every kind of stroke,

but this is...

This?

You're an old-style face, Dave.

How could you do this?

You're you...

and I'm me.

Look at me! I'm f***ed!

I didn't mean it to happen, Ray!

No, neither did I.

Hello? Me car's been nicked, mate.

Come on! Me car's been nicked!

- What's the problem?

- Someone's nicked it.

Come!

DC Harvey.

I caught this scumbag exposing himself.

- Where are you from?

- From Stepney f***ing Lane!

Let me in!

All right! Calm down!

Flasher, is he?

He looks like a nonce an' all.

I look like a nonce?

Is that what you said?

What's up with you? We were supposed

to ask him where the lockers were first!

Didn't you hear what he called me?

Ray!

Oh, sh*t. There's hundreds of them.

I'm having this for my Sal.

I'll get her a bunch of roses to go with it.

She's been through it on account of me.

Bingo!

Chaps?

Get back in there.

Are you out of your f***ing mind?

Very much so. Now get back in there.

'Allo! Get in there! Move!

Let him go first. Let him go first.

In there.

Get. I'll have the money.

Give me the bags.

Give me the money.

Take the f***ing money.

Steve?

Emergency, code red.

Come on, Steve. You've got to get up.

We have to go. Get up!

Come on. Get up.

Come on, Steve.

Bloody hell! Get back!

Oi! Who the hell are you?

It's all right. He's a DC out of Stepney.

The other guy's a civvy.

F*** me! I thought he was

just a flasher! -Me, too.

Get him out the building.

Get the paramedics for him.

AAGH!

I'm going in now.

There's about five officers down here.

You ain't having this!

It's my f***ing money!

He's a maniac!

Coming through!

You want some of this?

Stop!

Tell them to send paramedics. We've got

one hit in the neck, losing consciousness!

Out of the way! Coming through!

Oi!

Don't worry, Sal. I've got it.

I've got the money!

You know what, Ray?

Me foot's all squelchy.

I think me shoe's filling up with blood.

Can't see me wearing these socks again!

We'll get someone to fix you up real soon.

Sorry about getting hit.

I'm always holding you back, aren't I?

Connie'll be here. I know she will.

Yeah. Stay here.

# And I wish you didn't need me

# And I wish I didn't love you so

# Cos I just can't go on

# So please don't do me wrong

# No, don't do me harm

# My love for you goes on and on

# There's no one else I want beside you

# Give me your coldest shoulder

to cry upon... #

Connie?

# You're never anywhere I find you

# You're never anything I rely upon

# And I wish you would leave me

# And I wish you would go

# And I wish you didn't need me

# And I wish I didn't know

# But I just can't go on

# So please don't do me wrong

# No, I won't do you harm

# My love for you goes on

and on and on and on

# No, I just can't go on... #

# So please don't do me wrong... #

Sh*t.

Sh*t.

Hey.

What kept you?

I told you she'd come!

- I was going crazy back there!

- Were you?

I didn't know.

Jesus Christ!

Jesus Christ!

# I didn't hear the siren

# Or see him giving in, my kith and kin

# Oh, I have sinned

# Again

# And he said

# London, can you wait

# For all the things I've got to say

# London, can you wait

# My kith and kin

# Oh, I have sinned

# The alarm rang loud, the lights were on

# I didn't see a thing, my kith and kin

# Death just walked in again... #

It's gonna be all right.

# And he said

# London, can you wait... #

It's gonna be all right.

# How long can you wait?

Oh, how long?

# I was having the time

# Of my life

# So why did you have to die?

# I'm lost

# Again

# No, I was having the time

# Of my life

# So why did you have to die?

# I'm lost

# Again

# I'm lost again

# I'm lost again

# I am lost again

# Oh, I'm lost again

# I'm lost again

# I am lost again #

# There I was

# Just standing in your shadow

# Just standing

in your pool of shade veneer

# Here I am

# Still yellowed by the summer

# Still suffering in silence

# Loud and clear

# Well, you dig my grave

# Slapped my back

# And I turn grey

# On the beaten track

# But you hardly notice

# You hardly notice

# What do you say

when they roll a grenade

# And it almost takes your breath away

# Talking to Joe with the head of a crow

# And it's all gone pear-shaped

# There I was

# Just standing in your shadow

# Just suffering in silence

# Loud and clear #
