Pawn

- Hello.

- Hey, Yuri.

Good to see you, Will.

Charlie.

- What do you say, Will?

- Slow night, huh?

Got kinda busy

about 10 minutes ago.

These winter colds are just the worst.

You know, if my shift

moves any slower,

I think I will be

going backwards.

- Time to play, you ready?

- Ah, I'm kinda busy right now.

You want some pie?

- Oh, pie.

- Pie.

No, I just want some coffee.

Coffee.

You got it.

How long that pot

been sitting out there?

I just made it-- fresh pot--

right before it got busy, Will.

- Hey, Will.

- Aaron.

Want some more coffee?

You haven't even put any coffee

in my cup yet, Charlie.

Damn.

God damn it, Aaron.

Um, how are you progressing

with that coffee?

Sorry, I'm--

I'm not real with it today,

you know what I mean?

You want cream and sugar?

Cream.

- Cream.

- Do you want cream and sugar

with the coffee?

I'll take it as it is.

Whose move is it?

Hmm, Charlie?

Charlie? Charlie?

Charlie?

Whose move is it?

Your move.

It's your move, Will.

That's right.

Next Tuesday evening.

Mm-hmm.

How you doing?

I've been down to the diner,

it's a mess.

Look, is this necessary?

- I already gave a statement.

- I understand

you've been having

a tough time lately.

You could say that.

I've been working

for extra jobs

just to try to keep

my head above water.

Man

Everybody likes Charlie.

Anything you don't like about him?

Anything unusual?

- Like what?

- I don't know.

Kind of thing maybe

you wouldn't expect

at an all-night diner.

You know who owns the place.

Yeah, I do.

Tell me who was there that night.

Just take your time.

Think a minute.

I-- I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

You spent enough time there.

Who was there that night?

Just customers.

I'm gonna need you to tell me

how it all went down.

I need $2. That's it.

I don't need

an extra day off or anything.

Good evening,

ladies and gentlemen.

- What the hell is this?

- I would've thought that was

f***ing obvious, mate.

Okay, everybody in the corner.

Move. Move!

On your feet!

I'm not gonna say it again.

Get in the corner!

Move!

Come on, love.

Now!

Let's go, on your feet.

Let's go!

On your way.

Right, if you're smart,

you're scared.

If you're not,

you should be.

I don't want any heroes

and I don't want any grief.

You do what I say,

when I say it,

and everybody will be able

to walk out of here.

- You got that, geezer?

- Yeah.

Exactly as I say or I blow you

against that f***ing wall.

Right?

Now if you'd be so kind

just to step out from behind there.

Let's go.

Eh... hey.

- My hip.

- 911 emergency.

What's the nature of your call?

All right, son, on your feet.

Let's go, move!

Hey, cheeky.

- No.

- Let's go.

Come on.

There's a good girl.

Crawling under there

isn't gonna help you.

Doing what you're told might.

There, it's all right.

You'll be fine.

Right, mobiles, watches,

and wallets

into the bag provided by

my associate here.

Now, I know you're all scared

and that's a good thing.

If you're scared, you're a lot less

likely to do something stupid.

Because if you're thinking of

doing something stupid,

I guarantee you will regret it,

but only for about the half second

it'll take me to turn,

aim in your general direction,

and pull the trigger.

I have no more desire

to be here than you do.

So if everybody does what I say,

when I say it,

things will go a lot smoother.

- I didn't think you'd come.

- Me, either.

I promise everything's

gonna be different now.

We're gonna pick up Bonnie,

is that okay?

Yeah.

- It's just--

- I know what you're thinking.

I couldn't get it done before

and how am I gonna be able

to get it done now, is that right?

Are you gonna take

responsibility, you know?

Are you gonna be there

when we need you?

I made mistakes

and I paid for them.

But I know

what's important now.

You don't have to worry.

I promise

I won't ever break into

another car again.

I have an ultrasound appointment

today if you wanna come.

You kidding me?

Try and stop me.

Oh, sh*t.

I'm supposed to meet Patrick's friend

for this job interview.

That's all right.

If you can't make it, you can't make it.

- It's not a big deal.

- No, screw it. I can reschedule.

I'm coming with you.

Are you f***ing blind?

Watch where you're going,

you stupid cow.

Not you, Bill, another cow.

Wait, what are you doing?

You just got out

five minutes ago, please.

It's not worth it.

I'm sorry.

Hello!

Jesus, Bonnie,

what are you trying to do to me?

I'm sorry!

I'm just so excited!

How does it feel to be out

in the big, wide world?

- It almost feels safer on the inside.

- Yeah, right.

I hear those communal showers

are really tough

- on the good-looking boys.

- Okay.

- Really?

- Come on.

What's the deal here? You living in

a hotel? What are you, big time now?

My apartment is flooded,

so I'm staying here till they fix it.

- So what's next?

- Dropping you off at the next corner.

Oi, what'd I tell ya?

Nigel, keep a lookout for us.

Now, who's in charge here?

Eh? Who runs this place?

I do, I do.

Oh, you are a proper geezer.

There's a safe in the back.

Take me to it.

Register's open,

a lot of cash.

Why don't you just take it,

get the hell outta here, huh?

I'm not gonna tell you again.

Either you can walk me to that safe

or I can blow your legs off

at the knees

and you can crawl there.

The safe is back in the office.

After you.

- Go on!

- Yup.

It's all yours, Bill.

- There it is.

- Open it.

Today, you mug-

Back away.

That, you cheeky bastard,

is not the safe I'm looking for.

Where's the cash safe?

I don't know

what you're talking about.

if at some point I've given you

the impression that I don't know

exactly what's going on

around here,

or that I'm some thick c*nt

you mess about, I apologize.

Now, where's the safe?

The real one.

The one that says you get

to keep your good f***ing leg.

Open it.

- Can't do it.

- Excuse me?

I can't open it.

It's on a time lock.

I can't open it until midnight.

That's God's truth.

F***.F***! F***!

F***!

Keep an eye on 'em.

What's going on?

It was meant to be a quick in and out.

Safe's on a time lock.

F*** off.

Are you sure?

Well, it says time lock

on the door, so, yeah.

I'm pretty f***ing sure.

- What time's it set for?

- Midnight.

Midnight.

I suppose that's why

he told you to pull this

at two minutes before

f***ing midnight.

It's 30 minutes away.

What do you want to do?

- We're gonna sit tight. Wait it out.

- You're joking.

I'm not leaving

without emptying that safe.

And what happens

if someone comes in?

- Like who?

- Like customers.

We keep the doors locked,

put the closed sign up.

It's not exactly

brain surgery, is it?

This is not what we planned.

If you've got a problem, Bill,

trot on. I'll have your share.

Okay.

And then we're out.

It's okay.

- We've got trouble.

- What now?

- Cops.

- How many?

Who gives a f***?

A f***ing cop, we gotta go.

- There's only one.
