about the shooting.

- He was behind it. He ordered it.

- Who, Dominic?!

No, the boss.

How do you know that?

I saw the hitman at the station.

He wasn't working for Carter,

he was working for the boss.

Jesus f***ing Christ,

well, that's just f***ing great, Tasha!

Look, leave it. Let's just get out..

I can't get out!

I've just f***ing robbed Carter!

He doesn't know where we are.

Let's just go.

- Wait, when was this?

- Just now.

- And he just let you go?

- Yeah.

- And you came straight back here?

- Yeah.

Sh*t!

Christ, you've led them right to us.

Why didn't you just hang a sign

outside the f***ing window?

Natasha Davies

would like to advertise the fact

that Jack Adleth

is in Carly's apartment!

All f***ing armed response units

are now welcome!

We need to do something!

She's lying, she brought them here.

She's in on it.

- Did you lead them here?

- Of course I didn't!

- Did you tell them I'd be here?

- Kill her!

Listen to her.

She's as scared as you are.

- Shoot her!

- Don't do it, Jack.

We've got to get out of here. Bag that up.

We're not going anywhere without that.

Right, I want one unit at the front,

and I want two units at the back.

Sir, a team is in place

and ready to move in.

Good, get the f***ing public out of here, now.

It's OK, I've got a plan.

Aargh! F***!

Man down,

repeat man down!

Help me move this. Go, go, go.

Get him out ofthere.

Shoot low. Low.

Back, back, back, back, back!

Come on!

Stay low.

Shoot low at the door. Keep shooting.

Back, back, back!

Ahh!

- F***... Jack?

- Almost there.

- I've run out of bullets.

- Almost there.

Jack, can I point out how speed

is very much of the essence here!

Come on!

Jack, get down,

it's you they're after.

- Get down!

- Go, go!

All units, move in!

Ground support, open fire on the flat.

Ohh!

F*** me, and I was worried about

f***ing damaging the ceiling!

I thought you could get us

out ofthe building?

My plan was to get us out of the flat.

I got us out ofthe flat, didn't I?

So, what do we do now?

I hadn't thought that far ahead.

Come on, we're getting out of here.

What's that?

They're evacuating the building.

That's perfect.

- Come on.

- What?

Nobody knows what we look like.

Now's our chance.

We cannotjust walk out there!

Nobody knows!

Come on, we've got two minutes.

Come on, quickly.

Come on quickly, come on quickly.

Quickly, quickly!

Come on, come on!

Aargh!

- Control, suspects are not in the flat.

- Gas! Get the f*** out! Out, out!

IC1 female wearing a blue coat,

repeat, IC1 female wearing a blue coat.

Move! F***ing move!

Out the way!

You, out the f***ing way!

F***!

Move, move!

OK, stop, stop, stop.

- You OK? You OK?

- Yeah.

OK.

OK, we've got to get out of here.

Come on, let's go.

Tab?

No, you're all right, thanks.

Edwards.

Hello, Mum.

Yeah.

OK, soon as I can.

Yeah.

Hm.

OK, bit of a family crisis,

my mum's taken a turn, so, er...

well, you go back to the station.

I'll take a walk, all right?

We're not off duty yet.

Detective Poon, I am going to see

my dear old mum in hospital,

before she picks up

some f***ing superbug, all right?

So why don't you leave me alone, piss off

back to the station and do some paperwork?

I know you enjoy that.

Yeah, you said to call if Edwards

looks like he's slipping away.

Yeah, he's slipping.

OK, then you follow him.

..was being cleared by police.

I want to know everywhere he goes,

and everyone he meets.

..caused by a gas leak.

A police spokesman

said no one was injured due tothe efficiency...

Pow!

Always check your blind spot,

never drop your guard.

It's good to see you, Damien.

So... who's your friend?

This is Natasha.

Natasha, this is my brother Damien.

- Hi.

- Hi.

You two don't sound like brothers.

Well, you pretend to be somebody

for too long,

and your old self disappears,

isn't that right, bro?

Yes.

- Do you mind if I take a bath?

- Sure, it's, er... through there.

- Nice.

- Can I leave her with you for a little bit?

- Sure.

- I won't be long.

- Can you stay?

- No, well, for a minute.

- How you doing?

- Drink?

Sure.

You still drink this?

It's our favourite.

It was.

- How are you?

- OK, you know, just, um...

You know, Dad used to say there's only

two acceptable reasons not to call in -

one's amnesia,

one's if you're dead.

I've been thinking

more and more about this life,

and what it means for people like us.

How far is too far.

- You mean sacrifice.

- I know that.

- Do you?

- Yeah.

It's the reason I struggle

to call you my brother,

cos I don't remember

you around enough in that capacity...

especially after Dad left.

You know, Damien, you might be

full of his pearls ofwisdom,

but he didn't stick around long enough

to pass them on to me,

and neither did you.

Mum wouldn't have wanted this for us.

It was always tough with Mum.

She was always worried about me,

but mostly about you.

Mum was a worrier.

You know, Dad used to say that

he used to make things up, you know,

in case she ran out of things to worry about.

You still sound like her.

Whenever you speak, I hear her voice.

All I can hear is Dad's.

- So, what was it?

- What was what?

What did this life cost you?

A girl.

The girl.

This life, this job that you've chosen,

it takes a lot, you know?

Sometimes the sacrifices are too much.

Just cos you're the last man standing,

it... doesn't mean you're the winner.

It's just alive.

Well, being alive and living,

two very different things.

I remember.

Stay.

Can't.

You and me, bro...

we're the same.

Surely I'm better looking?

Well, that's something you got from Mum.

Do you miss her?

You take care of yourself.

Hello, Mum.

- You're late.

- Yeah, got lost in the maternity ward.

See anything familiar?

All this time, Edwards,

I've been f***ing worried about Carter,

when it's my own boss

sending hitmen after me.

He thinks you're too much of a risk.

You gonna let me bring you in?

Not yet.

You do realise I'm the only one

who probably wants to bring you in alive?

- Yes, I did notice.

- You've got enough to whistle-blow on him.

Ifthey scratch beneath the surface,

they'll find something to put him away with.

You're one ofthose

glass-half-full f***ers, aren't you?

Well, I try.

Just one more thing and then it's done.

OK, so what do you need from me?

A meeting...

with the man that shot me.

I'll do my best,

but I do not like to get blood on my hands.

Boss.

You'll never guess

who Edwards is talking to.

Yeah.

And then I'll send you a blank postcard,

and you can come and work

on my boat with me.

Yeah, course I will.

And Jack...

try not to get killed again.

Not many people

come back from the dead twice.

Look out for the postcard.

If you want something done...

do it yourself.

- Are you the pro?

- I never miss my target.

Ain't that the truth!

Look, I just wanna talk.

Want another?

No.

- Nice place.

- Thanks.

Yeah, I like what you've done with it.
