Happy birthday, Cristina.

Actually, it was two

days ago, but thank you.

Happy birthday, Cristina.

Actually, it was two

days ago, but thank you.

No alcohol.

I'm looking for someone.

Joseph?

Joseph, where did you

get those clothes?

Her name's Isabel.

They saw her.

I've come to save her.

Joseph, did you rob someone?

I had some luck.

Maybe God, you know?

God gave me this.

Joseph, I'm going

to call David,

my police liaison officer.

( UNZIPS JACKET )

This is for you, sister.

You're okay.

Buy something nice

for yourself.

20, 40, 60, 80, 100.

20, 40, 60, 80, 200.

20, 40, 60, 80, 300.

20, 40, 60, 80, 400.

450, 500.

Sister Cristina.

MOTHER SUPERIOR:
So, do you

know how much is there?

500.

A donation is a donation.

I don't see the quandary.

CRISTINA:
He's quite

famous among them.

They say he was a commando.

He killed people

in Afghanistan.

That's what soldiers do.

It doesn't mean he's a thief.

Did he say where

he got the money from?

He said,

"Maybe God."

Anyway, what do you think

the police themselves

would do with it

if you handed it in?

They'd just share it out

and drink it in the pub.

Add it to the nourishment fund, or at Christmas,

get them all jumpers or something.

Actually, he told me

to buy something for myself.

I thought perhaps maybe

I could use

just a small proportion of it.

You see, there is something

I have been praying for.

You're a good and holy woman,

Sister Cristina.

If the money's

an answer to a prayer,

how can it be wrong?

Let me put it this way.

I've not written anything

down about this in the book.

( CALCULATOR KEYS CLICKING )

One for Maria Zielinska.

One what?

One for the Maria Zielinska

farewell performance.

I'm afraid it's all sold out.

Sold out?

But it isn't until October.

It sold out online

in two hours.

Online.

We do still have

one box available.

A box?

On Tuesday, October first.

And how much is a box?

A box for

the farewell performance

is 500.

Hummingbird drone, over.

Yeah, he's got a weapon

Hummingbird can see it.

He's got a weapon.

He's still shooting

up in the air right now.

We see him.

Can we just cut the guy off?

Do you copy?

Sister.

I'm afraid you're

too late for soup.

I'm not hungry.

I need medicine.

You're hurt?

I need antibiotics.

I'm not allowed

to dispense antibiotics.

But you do it for people

who can't get into the system.

- Go to emergency.

- I can't.

Why not? If you don't

want to give your name,

just call yourself

Smith or something.

That would be a mistake.

- Why?

- My name is Smith.

Jones, then.

Sister...

I'm on the run

from a court-martial.

I was in a Special Forces unit.

There'll be no forgiveness.

How do you know

it's antibiotics you need?

I've got two broken ribs.

There's an infection

around one of the breaks.

If it spreads

to the bone, I'll die.

I've been wounded before.

If you drink alcohol

with these, they won't work.

I'll need painkillers.

Give me something

with dihydrocodeine.

Yes, sir.

I've asked around

about your friend Isabel.

How'd you know about Isabel?

Last night, don't you remember?

Did I come here last night?

Do something stupid?

You said you'd had some luck.

"God," you said.

( CAP CLICKING )

You don't believe?

So how do you explain

those new clothes?

I don't.

So what'd you find out

about Isabel?

She doesn't come

for food anymore.

If you see her, give her this.

Tell her she can come to me.

Tell her she can be safe.

- Who lives here?

- Me.

- Did you break in?

- I fell.

Did you hurt someone?

Only myself.

Do you know the boys

say you're an angel?

Good night, Joseph.
