- What's going on?

You don't have guard rails here?

- I want to know...

- You almost killed my kid!

- Don't touch me.

- Don't touch me! Ow!

Saving babies now, are you?

Go away. You're dead.

It won't be enough.

Go back to London. Finish it - for me.

Leave me alone, Sid.

You jump into a rat-infested river for

a total stranger but you weren't there for me?

I thought we had each other's backs?

I couldn't compromise my cover.

You of all people know that.

Don't walk away from me!

Natasha insisted that we lay low

for a few weeks whilst I recovered.

I guess she liked the peacefulness of it all.

But I was itching to get home.

Settle some scores.

I think I'm starting to put on weight.

I wouldn't worry too much.

Next to me you look practically anorexic.

It's the waffles. A month of these

and I'm getting a distinct belly.

So don't eat the waffles.

- But they're tasty.

- So eat the waffles.

But they're fattening.

How are you feeling?

- Good. Good as new.

- Anything bothering you?

What do you mean?

I don't know about you

but I'm going stir-crazy here.

What's with all the f***ing bicycles, huh?

We're the only Brits not wandering around

looking dazed and confused.

- We'll go back soon.

- Do we have to?

Look, just one more thing

and then it's done.

And whilst I'm choking the life

out of Carter with one hand,

- I'll collect your inheritance with the other.

- My inheritance?

Thought that would get your attention.

What inheritance?

Your father stashed away

loads of cash way over the years.

- I don't think he meant for Carter to take it.

- You're gonna rob Carter? Are you mental?

That big bad wolf is sleeping

in your bed and eating your porridge.

He's changed the locks

so you can't get back in any more.

Isn't that Goldilocks?

You know the point I'm trying to make...

And when he refuses,

spits in my face and chucks me out?

You don't know that -

he might let you back in.

I doubt it. I was never any good

at gaining people's trust.

Well, you have mine. Let's get out of here

before you start ordering more waffles.

You're getting fat enough as it is.

- We should've creased them. F***!

- Stop getting agitated.

What are we gonna do if he checks them?

- Hey, how you doing?

- How many?

Oh...

Two.

Live in the UK?

Yeah.

Where have you been?

Amsterdam.

We're on our honeymoon.

This is your vehicle?

- Oh, yeah.

- You drive a European car?

- Certainly do.

- It's a wedding present from my dad.

I prefer left-hand drive.

Congratulations.

Thanks very much.

Shall I turn the music down, guv?

Yeah, would you?

Here's the pictures of your new pub,

Mr. Carter.

Thank you, Hogan. Are you gonna

check out that new place for me?

Yeah.

- Boss?

- Everybody paid?

- Yeah.

- They always do now.

Yeah.

Well, it's been nice talking to you.

I'm sure you've got books

you need to take back to the library.

- I don't read.

- I can't read.

Sorry, that's too subtle.

What I actually meant was f*** off.

What about this?

What do you want me to do with this?

The safe's full. Put it down there,

I'll check it out later.

Pair offucking pricks.

Hello, lover.

Terry, leave us alone, would you?

What the f***'s all this?

- I've been shopping.

- What do you wanna go shopping for?

Clothes. Look at this.

This is beautiful. Half price, it was!

Half price? I've got a f***ing warehouse here

full of no price stuff!

A dozen for the price of none!

Why don't you have a look round here

before you go shopping?

I mean, God knows what you got here -

what's this?

- They're jeans.

- Yeah, but they're full of holes.

- They're designer!

- Designer holes?

I should've been a f***ing designer.

I'm in the wrong job here.

Have a look at this!

Here, put that on!

What is your problem?

What does it matter if I spend a bit of money?

We've got more than we could ever want!

Why buy something you've already got?

It's called fun!

Look, you're in charge now.

You control everything.

You can take things easy.

Things are already easy.

They're too easy. I miss the fight.

We fight all the time!

I'm not talking about you

moaning down my earholes.

- So you're bored?

- No, just stagnating.

- When was the last time you went out?

- We went out last night.

No, when was the last time

you went out on collections?

The boss don't do collections.

- That's the foot soldier's work.

- But that's what you miss...

the excitement of it.

Getting your hands dirty.

Maybe I... I could show my face

on the street. Get a bit of exercise.

Remind people who's in charge.

I know who's in charge.

Yeah, I know.

I was just popping out for a cigarette.

I'll be in in a minute.

She was scared. I knew we'd be OK

as long as we weren't spotted.

- Want a bit offun?

- Definitely.

- Where d'you wanna go?

- Somewhere quiet.

Yeah, we can go...

What the... f***?

Just get out my face.

I can't f***ing believe that!

Bob?

You're not gonna believe this.

I've just seen a ghost.

For everything, there is a season,

and a time for every matter under heaven.

A time to be born, and a time to die.

A time to plant, and a time

to pluck up what is planted.

A time to kill, and a time to heal.

A time to break down,

and a time to build up.

A time to weep, and a time to laugh.

A time to mourn...

When was the last time

you heard from Dominic?

He gave me some money

and said he'd be in touch.

He hasn't.

So much for police protection.

He does have a habit

of leaving people out in the cold.

For goodness sake,

no one saw us, Jack!

But if you keep peering your head

out ofthe window, then they will!

I was just checking.

I could do with a drink.

I'll put the kettle on.

You ice-skate?

Hidden talent!

Not so much any more.

Actually, I could do with a proper drink.

Have you got anything stronger?

- Haven't you had enough of that?

- I got shot, Natasha.

An alleged doctor you brought me to,

took the bullet out with salad tongs.

It actually hurts a little.

I suggest you try it.

There's some bourbon

in the cupboard.

You're welcome.

You know, you haven't once thanked me

for saving your life.

Oh, thank you, Natasha!

Thank you, Natasha!

Thank you!

Nobody made you join the police, Jack.

Nobody made you go undercover.

Nobody made you creep into our lives

and ruin everything!

Why didn't you just leave me to die?

As soon as I saw that hitman taking aim

at you, I knew I had to save you.

What?

At least I tried.

No, what did you just say?

As soon as I saw him aiming at you.

- You saw the hitman aiming at me?

- I saw the rifle.

- Why didn't you call out?

- I tried to.

- You tried to call out?

- He'd shot at you already.

He was shooting at you,

so I shot him in the arm.

You shot him in the arm -

you didn't kill him?

- No. I don't know.

- You don't know if you killed him?

You were lying there -

I was trying to help you.

- Call out, that would've helped!

- You were lying there bleeding!

Right.

Don't trust her, Jack,
