Let them go,

I'll stay here, Just let them go,

You get this one thing: I don't bargain,

I give, You take, That's it,

Cut him loose,

Good,

Hands, Hands up, in the air,

Oh, you're a f***ing dead man,

You're a f***ing dead man!

Thank you very f***ing much,

He hasn't seen your face?

- He's seen my face!

- My family hasn't seen his face,

- What are you waiting for? Kill him!

- They didn't see his face,

Come on,

My family hasn't seen Walter Smith's face!

Just let 'em go!

- Come on, what are you waiting for?

- Just let 'em leave! Just let 'em go now!

Goddammit, kill him!

Daddy.
