The solid sterling silver.

You've got lots of pieces of solid

sterling silver and, of course...

there we go...

you can see all of that

from your hat pins to your...

uh... to your...

shepherd's hook,

your... your clasp,

your crimp beads,

and six meters of elastic,

your beading thread...

one large

and one small gift pack.

( WOMAN'S VOICE SCREAMING )

MAN ON RADIO:

...showers good.

40s, Cromarty,

Forth, Tyne, Dogger.

Easterly or northeasterly

four or five, occasionally...

( ALARM BLARING )

MAN #2:
...Bible tells us,

you know, in Gethsemane,

talking to God and wanting to

not go through with this thing

and hesitating, you know.

And as all these

incredible things,

Judas going to the priests...

ISABEL'S VOICE:

JOEY, it's Isabel.

There's no need

to look for me. I'm okay.

And I'll just cause trouble.

I've agreed to work for them

for a few weeks

until I've got enough

for a deposit on a nice place.

Then I'll go back up north.

Thanks for lookin' after me, Joey, and

for thinkin' of me. When I get away from London,

I'll call you

if you're still there.

I've gotta go.

WOMAN:

I know there's someone there

'cause I saw you go in.

I'm gonna call the police.

Who are you?

DAMON said he was gonna be

in New York all summer.

I'm DAMON's boyfriend.

One of 'em.

He said I could use his flat

while he was away.

Are you a model?

Sometimes.

WOMAN:
He didn't say anyone

was gonna be staying.

Do you have his number

in New York?

No, he keeps

himself very private.

Pity, you could've called him.

Do you have a number?

He doesn't give it to me.

In case I call him

late at night.

- I'm Tracy.

- JOEY.

JOEY Jones.

DAMON said I should stay here

for the summer,

get my life back together.

So that's what I'm gonna do.

Whew.

F***.

( SPEAKING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE )

( MAN SPEAKING

JOEY, there's trouble.

( MEN CHEERING, CHATTERING )

( HUMMINGBIRD WINGS

F***ing d*ckhead's

trying to throw us out.

( CHATTERING )

Is he f***ing following?

Dick, mate.

( VOICES OVERLAPPING )

- Here we go.

- It's Soho, I wanna see some tits.

It's late, boys.

You're gonna miss your train.

Who are you, our f***in' mum?

He thinks he is.

F*** me if he ain't.

- Tits, mate.

- F***ing there's your tit.

- That's right, mate.

- Here's your f***ing tit, man.

Hey, don't f***ing

touch my boy!

( MEN SHOUTING )

F***ing leave it, mate.

He's a f***ing soft,

southern f***ing c*nt.

( YELLING )

- Easy, pal.

- F***ing get off him.

- You'll miss your train.

- I'll f***ing have him!

Come on, then!

( GRUNTS )

MAN:

F***ing get him!

( GRUNTING )

( THUMPS )

( COUGHING )

Now you've missed your train.

Huh?

- You wanna work?

- Yeah.

You know what

kind of work I do.

They say you want a driver.

I got a lot of businesses.

They say you're a hard man.

It's a hard city.

( CHILDREN, YELLING, LAUGHING )

CHILD:

Hold on!

( BIRDS' WINGS FLUTTERING )

Can we play the animal game?

( SIGHS ) Go on, then.

- Um... has it got four legs?

- Yes.

All right, has it got fur?

GIRL:
Yes.

WOMAN:
Um, give me another clue.

- It's gray.

- Gray?

Yeah.

- Is it a dog?

- No.

Um, could it eat me?

Probably.

Right, so,

how many legs has it got?

- Two.

- You said four.

Are you tricking me?

I hear he wants to see me.

( SPEAKING CHINESE )

What the f***?

New rules.

No room service cards

anywhere between

Lisle Street and The Crown.

What the f***

are you talking about?

You're not even a f***ing

Chink to be giving out rules.

Show him.

( BLADE RINGS )

( GRUNTING )

New rules.

- ( GRUNTS )

- ( BOSS SPEAKING CHINESE )

No.

( GROANS )

( YELLING IN CHINESE )

( WHISPERING )

Can I help you?

I've got a delivery for the

Angel of the Lord's Mission.

45 Margheritas,

45 garlic breads,

45 Coke Zeroes,

45 chicken dippers,

and 45 coleslaws.

There must be a mistake.

It's paid for by JOEY Jones.

Okay, it's not a mistake.

Who wants pizza?

- ( SPEAKING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE )

- ( BABY CRYING )

JOEY:
Tell your boss

in fifteen minutes

to have Mr. Choy's

envelope ready.

Also, I wanna order

takeaway for delivery.

It's very nice,

but I've no idea what it is.

I think it's probably duck.

And there's fish

and chicken and pancakes.

- And this is from Crazy Joe the angel, yeah?

- Next?

( GIRL SCREAMING )

( DOORS OPEN, SLAM )

Just drive, man.

Just f***ing drive.

( TIRES SCREECH )

( GIRL SCREAMING )

That's his little sister.

She won't talk.

( SCREAMING CONTINUES )

Dawn?

It's me.

Joe.

Nice suit.

Me and your daughter

live on 25 a week.

Since I lost my job, I've been

paying the landlord with blowj*bs.

Everything's cut.

What have you been doing

while they cut everything, JOEY?

I've been fighting.

There's more

where this came from.

Lots more.

( DOOR OPENS, SIGNAL BEEPS )

( SIGHS )

- ( SIREN WAILING )

- ( BELL RINGING )

JOEY:

You got my invitation.

Wasn't sure you'd come.

Buying food for the boys,

it's okay,

but not this.

Giving me things puts me

in a very difficult position.

You're not vegetarian, are ya?

Why are you lighting fires

on the pavement?

My Chinese boss

sends his people here

to buy meat

for his restaurants.

I get three hours

hanging out on the street

doing nothing.

So tonight I decided

to have a barbecue.

- ( CORK POPS )

- You used to feed me.

Tonight, I feed you.

This is a very strange

thing to be doing.

I miss the smell of woodsmoke.

I'm guessing that you have

psychological problems.

They put me up a mountain

and told me to kill people.

What'd they think would

come back down the mountain?

Joseph, I came here because

I might have some news...

about Isabel.

They found a girl.

Last night, my police

liaison officer

gave me this photograph.

She was found in the river.

They need help

with identification.

( SPATULA SCRAPES )

( SIGHS )

She was from the north,

that's all I know.

Did you love her?

We shared a box.

We'd just keep each other warm.

Will you talk to the police?

F*** the police.

Joseph, I'm really sorry

to bring such awful news.

Where in the river?

The city, near to Canary Wharf.

One of those rich guys.

Yes, they think she

was killed by a client.

- The police give a sh*t?

- Of course they do.

David is a good man.

Really?

He's a "good man."

Good, good.

Good for him.

- Good.
