Millions Page #3

You've got to be more careful.

You shouldn't really talk to them.

Anyway I've told him now.

- Told him what?

- That we have tons of money.

He's poor.

What?

Nothing. Nothing.

Leave it to me.

Where is he then?

I don't know.

He was here a minute ago.

See.

Loads of money.

We've been saving it up for ages.

You can have it if you need it.

Come on Damian.

You'll have to change it quickly.

Do you think that was really enough?

More than enough.

That's him completely sorted out.

Right. Have you given money

to anyone else?

Not really.

What?

It wasn't that much.

Just like a bagful.

- What's that?

- Scuba scooter.

It goes at ten mile an hour

for up to five hours.

We could have one of them.

We could have one each.

We could have a whole fleet.

She's nice.

Huh! I've seen better.

Close the door.

Look you can see it protruding.

- What is it?

- It's a nipple.

What's it for?

Well it's for feeding babies.

Did mum have one?

Two. They've all got two.

And did she feed us with them?

Yeah, course she did. I remember.

You can't remember

when you were a baby.

I don't remember her doing it to me.

I remember her doing it to you.

Anthony?

What?

I thought you'd done the washing up?

I did it!

What do you call that glob?

Hello what's your name?

Keegan.

Alright, K, what's happened

to your finger?

That's quality.

Pure scary, pure scary.

Hey, give me your money.

Come on, empty your pockets.

Hey you! Excuse me, excuse me!

Give me all your money.

Come on, every copper.

Who feels sorry

for poor children?

Correct answer.

Everybody sitting up nicely?

Ok. So, as you know,

we're going to have

new money in the New Year.

Does anybody know how much

a euro is worth in pounds?

Yes.

- Sixty seven p.

- Spot on.

Here, there's

a little prize for you.

It's your own euro converter.

Now! Who else wants one?

Anybody?

- Me!

- Ohh. Everybody. Ok.

So, who can tell me how much

two pence is worth in euros?

Mmm. Well I'll tell you.

It's worth not very much.

Almost nothing.

To you.

But if we all put our

two pences together.

Then we'll have a lot

of two pences won't we?

Yes.

How many people are there here?

One... two... three... four...

Five... six... seven... eight...

Two hundred and fifty.

Sorry?

There's two hundred

and fifty in the school.

Oh clever clogs head master.

Ok two hundred and fifty.

So if you each gave me two pence,

then I'd have five pounds.

It's not that much here.

But in Ethiopia five pounds

could feed a family for a week.

And if you all gave me two two pences,

then we'd have a tenner.

And that's enough

to provide that village

with a source

of clean water forever.

It's no good to you.

So chuck it in the bin.

Excuse me.

Give me all your money!

Come on, every copper.

Get out of my way. Hey you!

Hey, give me your money!

Come on. Empty your pockets.

Hello, what's your name?

Damian.

Hi Damian. I'm the Bin.

Hello Bin.

Damian, you'll give me

some money won't you?

Yeah.

What did you do?

You did it again didn't you?

What?

I saw what you did.

How much?

Not much. She's nice.

I've been thinking.

Why don't we give the money to her?

So how did it go?

Well...

A thousand!

What did you bring

a thousand to school for?

Can't you see

that that's suspicious?

It's not suspicious.

It's unusual.

How can it be suspicious?

It's our money.

Right you lot outside...

come on.

Right, that's enough

messing around.

Do you know in Africa

you can build a well for

as little as a hundred pounds.

Just listen.

It was the most daring,

most brilliant,

cleverest and biggest robbery

on record, ever.

The train was here.

The train,

the one with the money,

Used notes.

Right the van comes up

onto the platform... here.

It's a railway van

so no one takes any notice.

Until...

They jump out of this van

and some of them got hold

of the driver.

Some of them start shifting the money.

By this time rapid response

has been mobilised.

Alright, let's go. Come on!

The van drives off with

a reckless disregard for life.

Rapid response goes after it.

There's... armed units.

Dog handlers. Helicopters.

Throw everything at them.

The train stays here.

An ambulance comes,

takes the driver to hospital.

Get another driver.

The CID count the bags.

There's only one missing.

Then rapid response corner the van.

Trapped.

The robbers dropped

the lot and they leg it!

They've got no chance, except...

Newcastle United versusArsenal

at Highbury.

One all. Disappointing result

for the gunners.

Please advise car,

I think we've lost them.

They don't catch the men.

But that's alright

because when they get back to the van...

there's the missing bag.

How do you...

how do you know all that?

His uncle works for the police.

The van has gone.

The train is in the station.

And the cops are

in the cop shop making tea.

Where are the robbers?

Where's the last place

you're going to look?

- Our house?

- Maybe.

So the train moves off

with a new driver and all the money.

On the train.

The money was on the train

and so was a robber?

Lateral thinking.

The money stays on the train,

but so does a robber.

He sits tight.

And every time the train

comes to a slow bend

he chucks a sack of money out.

They've got people waiting

all over the country.

Could be Stafford or Crewe.

Could be Preston or Wigan.

Runcorn, it could be.

Could be here.

Damian.

Damian. Calm down.

It'll be alright.

No one knows it was us.

I don't care. Leave me alone.

What you have to tell me for?

Because I wanted you to know

the truth.

We have to give it back.

No... no we can't do that.

They were going to burn it.

Now come on, it isn't the money's

fault it got stolen.

- I thought it was from God.

- What?

Well you know sometimes

you tell people about mam

and they give you money

or sweets.

Well I told God and...

well who else would have

that kind of money?

Well... in a funny...

God doesn't rob banks, alright.

God does not rob banks.

Office. Now.

Your father's on his way.

Come in.

The Mormons!

You stole money from mormons?

Would you like to tell

us why you did it Anthony?

Our mam's dead.

Hey. Hey. Hey Anthony come here.

Anthony, Damian, come here.

Ok. Team talk.

Your mother,

She would not want you,

to stand around crying

or to steal things.

She wants you to get on

with your lives

and do the best you can.

Make her proud, son, eh?

And not, you know... cry.

Ok. So let's stop crying eh?

And stealing things.

Let's stop that too.

Get in the car.

Don't ever do that to me again.

Look. I'm really sorry

it was me.

I didn't mean to cause

any trouble or anything.

No you did right.

They stole it, what could you do?

They did give it to a good cause.

I wouldn't have done

that at their age.

They must be...

you did a good job.

Thanks.

Are you from the social?

No. I'm just a visitor.

I go round the schools

collecting for this water thing.

And try and tell them about

the change over, you know.
