I reckon you could get him

to tell you where it is.

You know?

Turn him on a little.

- Make him think you're hot for him.

- Oh, Ron.

What? You did it tonight

and you enjoyed it.

We were just having a bit of fun.

Hey.

I'm not saying f*** him, Dale.

I'm just saying, you know...

do what you did

every night at the club.

Are you too good for that now?

Isn't that what you wanted?

Yeah.

You're right.

I'll just break his f***ing legs...

and he's gonna

cough it up soon enough.

You f***ing sh*t.

And that way, you can stay pure!

I'll do it.

That's my girl.

Why are you such an a**hole?

We're not like him, Dale.

We're different.

Ron's going to break your legs if you

don't tell me where her jewelry is.

It's in the bank.

How do I get it?

I will tell you on one condition.

You get the money and the jewelry...

and then you call the police

and you disappear.

You must think I'm a bad person.

We've all done bad things

when we're desperate.

I'd be dead already

if it wasn't for you.

- How do I get it?

- Promise.

- Ron will get it out of you.

- Promise me

you'll take the money,

and you will go.

Then I promise.

It's in the safe deposit box

in the bank...

under Gabrielle's name.

The keys are in my pocket.

They're not here.

No.

They're in the music box

in the sunroom.

F*** this.

Well?

Yep.

Your lipstick should be lighter.

It's fine.

It's not right.

It doesn't matter.

Gabrielle would never wear

that shade with that suit.

As if they care at the bank.

I'll change it.

Okay?

We might as well get it right.

Thank you, Ronald.

Don't forget who you are, Dale.

B*tch.

You think you could

possibly untie me...

so that I could give

Charlie some water?

No!

No, you... you f***er!

You bastard! You ape!

You stupid, dumb ape!

I guess I don't have

to untie you now.

You're never going

to get your money now!

It's just a bird, Andy.

God, I didn't cry that much

when my nana died.

F*** you.

Sit down.

No.

- Sit down.

- No.

- Sit the f*** down.

- You're gonna kill me anyway.

- F*** you! F*** you!

- Sit down!

F*** you!

Hi, Mr. Shepard.

It's Frank Middleton.

Your fiance's here

to cash a check.

Mr. Shepard?

All right, Frank.

This will be the last time

that we do this.

Yes, Mr. Shepard.

And your password, please?

Restraint.

Game's over, And...

You don't have to kill me.

I got no choice.

You don't have to do it.

What about if I told you...

that I had done something?

I've done things...

things that I can't

tell the police.

So you have been naughty, have you?

It's about my father.

He f***ed her.

What?

My father.

Your father tumbled your fiance?

That's why he...

he paid her off.

He wouldn't let us get married.

They were having an affair.

That's bad.

I just don't know

if that's bad enough.

I killed him.

I killed my father.

I paid a man

$100,000 in cash.

They made it look like an accident...

on his boat.

He gave me a photograph.

There's proof.

You could take it with you...

and you wouldn't have to kill me.

You would always have it over me.

I'd like to see this photograph.

Miss Martin to see you.

Miss Martin.

Come in.

Just need you to sign here.

Sure.

We've met before, I think.

Have we?

Can't think where.

It'll come to me.

Always does.

Come through.

Let me know when you're ready.

Turn the light on.

This way.

The photo's behind those pipes,

under that brick.

Go get them.

Can you untie me, please?

You see...

I thought we were becoming friends.

But you f***ed me over.

So that'll be a no.

Yeah?

Well, I've been f***ed over

my whole life.

Sh*t!

Andy!

Andy! Let me out!

Let me out! Andy!

You having fun yet, Andy?

I know I am!

Right.

Okay, I forgive you.

You have been a bad, bad boy!

Come here!

Oh, Mr. Shepard.

Sergeant Widdens...

what a surprise.

You all right, Mr. Shepard?

Yes, sir.

I've just been... Sorry.

Been cleaning up out the back.

Can I help you?

Well... do you mind

if we come in, sir?

No, actually,

as I said to you yesterday...

I really think it's time

you let us inside, sir.

I appreciate that.

I would like to, but...

to be honest,

I can't have people in my home...

because of my condition.

All right.

We came by because

two very large checks...

have been drawn against your account

in the last two days.

You aware of that?

Yes.

$20,000.00.

Made out to cash.

Yes, that's right.

Are you saying you

came by because the...

the bank contacted you?

They routinely monitor these things...

and they couldn't raise you

on the phone.

Sh*t.

My fiance, Gabrielle Martin.

Miss Martin.

Sergeant.

Look at the state of you.

Been cleaning up in the...

in the basement.

Getting ready for the painters.

This place is falling apart.

She's back for one day...

and she's running my life already.

I see.

Sometimes things work out,

don't they?

The cash withdrawals...

it's renovating money.

Just want to make sure

you're all right, sir.

Anyway...

happy renovating.

Me and my old man...

we saw this big f***ing crash.

Big semi just went right

over the top of a little Jap job.

There's a girl stuck in the car.

I would've been about 15, I guess.

Car is so dead.

The ambos are on the way.

And my dad, he can't get in there.

So I says, "Hey, Dad.

I can fit, I can get in there".

There's this little gap, right?

I get in.

F*** me dead, the girl's alive.

I can just see her head,

her body's trapped in the car.

She'd be about 25...

long, curly blonde hair...

pretty.

She's got blood on her forehead...

but she smiles, you know...

this big beautiful smile.

I said, "Are you okay"?

She's like, "Yeah, I'm fine".

So I keep her talking about

her dog and stuff, you know...

until finally, we hear the sirens...

and it's time for me to get out.

And she says to me...

she says...

"Well, Ronnie, my name's Sara".

"When I get out of here...

I'm going to give you

the best night you've ever had".

Which to me, right,

I'm, like, 15...

so that's big news.

So I get out feeling

pretty good, right?

Then finally, the firies...

they have the jaws of life...

and they open the doors...

and her body's not connected...

to her head.

Decapitated, right?

After that, no one

looks me in the eye.

My old man, he just pretends

like it never happened...

like I'm crazy or something.

Well, I knew her name

was really Sara.

Isn't that spooky?

Anyway, Andy,

I'm telling you this story...

because everything I ever had...

has never been quite real.

It's just disappeared, you know...

like steam off a grate.

Except for Dale.

You see, she's real.

I f***ing love you.

We're on our way to Thailand, baby!

Tell you what, though,

you had me worried.

I thought the cops

might have picked you up.

Just took longer than I thought.

Now, be careful with this, okay?

It's loaded.

You don't want

to lose me at this point.

So you're just going

to leave him here?

What are you doing, Ron?

Listen, Dale,

it's not a bad way to go.
