Look, if you look all down

the left side of my face...

you can see it there, Tia.

Tia.

Tia?

Tia! Tia, please!

Look, I know it feels

like we're moving too fast,

but you just have to trust me, please.

Please.

Look, my Dad said, "You only regret

the things that you don't do. "

So don't walk away.

You could phone work, you know.

You could chuck in your job,

you could throw all the rules

and all the things you're supposed to do

and just chuck them out the window.

I just... I just wanna spend

a day with you.

This is the tree here, see? Look at that.

Look, remember what I told you, right?

You just gotta turn... turn the lens

at the front there, to get it in focus.

- It looks different.

- What? Less magical?

- Yeah!

- You just gotta change the angle.

Look, come here.

Just change the angle.

Come down low, like that.

Try it now.

It works.

Yeah, everything can look magical

if you just...

If you just look at it

the right way.

Exactly. Here.

Go on, look at the camera.

Go on, look at it.

Big smile.

Perfect.

I like it here. Like heaven.

Yeah, it is.

My dad, he used to love this place.

You know, we'd just come out here and

we'd just take photographs and just talk.

You know, my dad was

one of them people that just...

Just made sense of the world.

And he'd come up with

all these great stories, that...

I dunno, you know?

Just, they made sense to me.

I'd do anything to go back to that day.

Just for like, a minute...

A second, even.

Look, I'll tell you what I'll do,

I'll take them to the studio

and I'll get some prints developed.

You know, I'd like to do that.

Then we can remember the day.

Well, thank you, Tia. I had a good day.

Tia, will I see you again, though?

Tia, can I see you tomorrow?

Come on, at seven o'clock?

Tia, will you come to the flat?

Come on, please, say yes!

Yes.

Yes!

Mr Morgan?

- Yeah...

- You're expecting me, I believe.

Weapons Man?

Oh, right.

- May I come in?

- Yeah. Yeah, please.

Very nice.

I detect a woman's touch.

Yucca.

Very stylish.

Oh... My wife would like that.

She's got me to redecorate our bathroom.

She wants it done out in gold taps

and marble floor.

It's fake gold and marble,

needless to say.

It still cost a f***ing arm

and a leg, though.

Not to my taste.

Looks like the f***ing Palace

of Versailles, you want my opinion.

She soaks herself morning, noon and night

in lavender and bergamot bubble bath.

She says,

"I feel like Marie Antoinette".

I say, "Well you know

what happened to her".

She don't. She will.

I've made plans.

There's a kid I know who's a dab hand

with a chainsaw. It's a beautiful weapon.

Talking of weapons... Business.

Sorry, yeah, it's just, uh...

Belle said it could take up to

Yeah. It could.

It didn't.

All this technology

makes life so much easier.

Years ago it was all

pens and paper and...

Oh! Here we go!

Sit down.

Now, just a few formalities.

It's boring I know, but bear with me.

So your name is Jamie Morgan.

- Yes.

- Any middle name?

- No.

- Address?

I know that, I'm here, ain't I?

- Age?

- I'm, 25.

In your prime, I see. No peeking!

Now, my job is to make sure the

element of chaos you contribute...

doesn't clash with any other

elements of chaos in your area.

It also helps keep your particular

contribution unique and distinctive.

One brutal murder. Just one.

- How's that sound?

- No, no, I'm, uh, doing graffiti.

And that's the deal you did

with Papa B, is it?

Yeah.

What, and you believed him,

did ya?

What?

One born every minute.

Priceless.

Graffiti!

You saying that he lied?

Of course he f***ing lied!

That's not exactly fair now, is it!

Of course it ain't f***ing fair!

Who said life is f***ing fair?

Life is cruel and unjust

and we wiggle like worms on the hook of...

Oh, who gives a f***!

Let's just cut the crap and move on,

shall we? I repeat:

One brutal murder.

That is very reasonable.

Now, let's find out

the victim's profile.

Well, very good. Young male.

Lets find out

when the murder should happen.

Mm. When the moon is next full.

Very classy.

Sorry, is there any chance

we could talk to Papa B about that?

No. Method of dispatch...

Oh... Yeah, this is bloody good.

Or should I say good and bloody?

"Heart to be cut out

while the victim is still alive...

"and said heart to be placed

on steps of church, any church,

your choice,

by midnight".

By the last chime, you got that?

One second,

one millisecond later and that won't do,

Mr. Morgan. You got that?

I don't understand.

I don't actually think I can hurt anybody.

Priceless again. Anyone can hurt anyone,

Mr. Morgan. haven't you learnt that?

Now, to my favourite bit.

Finding the weapon.

Years ago, this was all I did.

Hence the name.

But since Jack the Ripper

things have got a little bit more, well...

inventive, shall we say.

Oh... We're lucky.

The weapon's in the flat.

What?

Oh... Oh, hold up!

Oh...

Oh! It's in here.

Getting warmer.

Oh, hotter...

What have we got here?

No! That's my dad's coat! That's my dad's

stuff from when he went travelling.

Will you let me do my job, please!

Thank you.

Weapon found.

No, my dad loved that.

It was from his first ever trip. Please...

And it's been waiting for you ever since.

So, that's it.

One heart to be cut out

when the moon is still full

and placed on the steps of a church

before the final stroke of midnight.

It's a pleasure doing business with you,

Mr Morgan.

No, I won't do it.

I'm serious, all right? I won't do it!

This isn't the deal that I made!

This isn't fair!

Look, come on, it's not fair! You can't

expect me to actually kill somebody!

Look, please... Can you just

speak to Papa B for me? Please.

Hello, sir.

Yeah, fine, sir. It's just there's...

There's a little last-minute reluctance

from the client.

Thank you, sir. Much appreciated.

What's going on? What did he say?

Just a moment, please.

Ah! No! No! No!

Ah! Make it stop! Please!

- Not much fun, is it?

- Please! Make it stop!

- Please...

- You gonna do it?

Yeah! Yeah, yeah! I'll do it!

I'll do it! Please!

We got there in the end, Mr Morgan.

I'll do it...

Oh, by the way...

Guess when the moon is next full.

Tonight.

You got till midnight.

Belle...

I tried to help but...

he got mad.

Come on, Belle...

It's okay.

He'll kill us both

if you don't do it.

I don't know how to kill.

I don't know how to...

First, find your prey.

What you doing? I didn't do anything.

I paid money to get in there.

F*** off!

F***ing cheapskate!

You don't know what you're missing.

I'm f***in' perfection!

Jeeko sex machine! That's me!

Jamie...

Go on...

Go! Go!

- Hello, handsome.

- All right.

- I just wanted to...

- Like what you see, do you?

Course you do.

You know perfection when you see it.

Look at that six pack. Wanna touch?

It'll cost you.

- How much?

- Depends on where you touch, mate.

And how long you touch it for.

And what you touch it with,

if you catch my drift.
