Hey.!

What the hell is wrong

with you people?

[ Riddaway ] It's that snipe

we're after, Mr. Sumner.

- I said stay down!

- I want the lavvy.

Come on.

Look, you stupid Yank.

Let's have Niles

before someone gets hurt!

Come on. Up you go.

[ Tom ] I've had to put up

with a lot in my time.

-[ Glass Shattering ]

-[ Amy ] You can't leave him in there.

[ Tom ]

But I draw the line at this place.

- [ Glass Shattering ]

- [ Amy ] No.!

I'll have an answer,

or I'll have blood!

- Where are you going?

- [ Glass Shattering ]

Give Niles to them.

That's what they want.

They just want him.

Give them Niles, David!

- They'll beat him to death.

- I don't care.

[ Tom ] You send him out,

or your whole house will be--

Get him out!

You really don't care, do you?

No, I don't.

[ Charlie ]

Cawsey.!

Come here.!

[ Shouts, Faint ]

There's more whiskey

in the lorry.!

No. I care.

This is where I live.

This is me.

I will not allow violence

against this house.

[ Pounding ]

Don't worry.

- Go on upstairs.

-[ Man ] Beautiful.!

- Please don't leave me.

Just do as you're told.

[ Cawsey Giggling ]

Get out of there!

-[ Pounding On Door ]

- David? It's me, Major Scott.

[ Pounding Continues ]

- Come on.

- Thank you.

I see you finally got

through the enemy lines.

Don't worry about that.

I'll tell them to clear off.

Sorry I didn't get here earlier.

Yeah, I am too.

They're breaking all my windows.

David,Janice Hedden is missing.

Tom is out of his mind with worry.

They're drunk out there.

you know. I breed 'em as well.

- David!

- Lots more where they came from.

Well, Tom,you're being

a bit stupid, aren't you?

Chucking things through people's

windows. You ought to have more sense.

You tell him I want that Niles

or I'll come in and get him!

You give me that bloody gun and get

the hell out of here. That's an order.

What about myJanice?

It weren't one of yours.

- He took myJanice.

- Listen, Tom.

We don't want any trouble

here, do we?

There wouldn't have been any trouble

if you'd put Henry Niles away.

You wanted to put my Emma

away soon enough!

Damn you, Hedden.

Give me that gun.

Damn you, Major.

Let go!

[ Screaming ]

Bastards.!

You bastards!

David, phone! Phone anybody!

Please, phone somebody!

David!

Phone!

- No calls tonight.

Get the lights. Go on.

I didn't reckon on nobody

gettin' killed, Norman.

Yeah, well, that's too bad.

We're all in it now.

- Accessories, we are.

- That's the law.

Henry Niles!

I'm gonna keep them

out of this house.

Please! Listen to me!

- Come on!

- Shut your mouth. Shut it.

I can hold them off. Don't worry.

Someone will show up.

- Cut it out!

Like Major Scott?

David, how are you

gonna keep them out?

- I can keep them out.

- How? There are five men out there.

- I know that.

- [ Crashing ]

- I know they have.

- Honey, I know what I'm doing.

- Goddamn you, David!

Go upstairs and turn on

all the lights.
