to become a walking drugs mule.

I just need a bit more.

All right, look... Ah-ah-ah!

Don't kiss me with those lips, all right?

I don't know where you've been all evening.

Please?

(SIGHS)

All right, I'll tell you what.

You can have this

if you can make me happy.

Is that the same gear as earlier?

Beggars and choosers, Zoe.

Beggars and choosers.

All right.

Go on.

(UNZIPS)

- (SUCKING)

- (MOANING)

- (ZOE GROANS)

- All right, yeah, less of the groaning.

More hand action, yeah.

F***!

Go! Get the f*** out, you

dirty f***ing b*tch!

(SLOW MUSIC PLAYING)

Jesus f***ing Christ!

(SCOFFS)

Whoa. Don't leave me on the edge.

Are you f***ing kidding me?

I've got to go and stop Zoe telling her dad.

She's f***ing high. He's busy.

I'm busy. What's the urgency?

RICKY:
Just making sure

everything's on its way to the UK.

- DONOVAN:
Why wouldn't it be?

- Things can happen.

Has anything happened the countless times

we've done business?

No.

Fair enough. Don't worry about it.

- (MUSIC PLAYING)

- I know that Carlos ain't gonna...

Carlos?

Uh, yeah, you mentioned someone

called Carlos would be, uh...

I never mention names,

and you should definitely

never mention his name to anyone.

- My mistake.

- Definitely your mistake.

DOYLE:
Boss.

It's him.

(SIGHS)

Hello? Hello?

(CARLOS LAUGHS)

DONOVAN:
Carlos. An unexpected surprise.

And yet, you were expecting me.

- I have friends at the airport.

- I flew into a private airport.

I have friends at every airport.

Huh.

Anyway, it was just too hot and humid

in Colombia at the moment,

so I decided to come here.

Don't get me wrong. I like things hot,

but I just... I hate to sweat.

Well, if you're looking

for somewhere to stay...

That's just so kind of you,

Donovan, thank you,

but I would never invade your beautiful home.

Carlos, have I ever let you down?

Donovan, have I ever let you down?

Have you been talking to my London contact?

Have you been talking to some Russians?

See, you're not the only one

that has friends at airports.

What's all this about, Carlos?

(INHALES) You know, Donovan,

when people start talking to Russians,

trouble is usually not far away.

I'm sorry you feel the

need to check up on me.

No, it's not that.

No, no, no, no. Knowledge is power.

- Money is power.

- Money. Knowledge. Power. It's all connected.

- But this new friend of yours...

- No friend of mine.

As I was saying, this new friend of yours

is sneaking weapons to Colombia

for the guerrilla.

- Do you know that?

- (EXHALES)

Well, what the Russians choose to do

in their spare time is of no concern to me.

Good, good.

Well, guns in, cocaine out.

Makes a very messy business.

So my friends at the Colombian government,

they're not happy

about the guerrilla getting stronger.

Do you understand that?

Like I said, I know nothing of this.

Right.

- (MOBILE RINGS)

- Perhaps that's them on the phone?

No, it's not.

Look, I know it's your second language,

but can we speak plain English?

Why are you here?

Well, Russians are uneducated thugs

that will kill you,

as you say, in plain English,

at the drop of hats.

(CHUCKLES) Uh...

That's exactly

what they say about the Colombians.

- Can I call her back?

- I think you need to hear this.

You just take it if it's important.

Hi, Zoe. I'm right in the middle

of something here, love.

Dad, Mum's f***ing the accountant.

What are you talking about?

I don't know if this is the first time or...

You sound odd, Zoe. Are you all right?

Zoe! Zoe!

- Open this door right now!

- Dad, I've got to go.

Zoe, wait!

(LINE DISCONNECTS)

(EXHALES)

- F***.

- Whoa, that was important.

I've never heard you swear before.

It's nothing. It's...

- Just a... Something personal.

- I understand.

Hey, as long as your personal business

doesn't interfere with my business.

You have 24 hours to get me my money, okay?

Should you not comply to do this,

I could consider that a default.

And in my world, no one defaults.

No one.

You all right, boss?

Why the f*** did you call him?

I thought he should know about you and him.

- Can you just give us a minute?

- (ZIPPING)

Well, maybe he should know

about some of your little secrets.

Oh, what, you mean the drugs?

Yeah, like you give a f*** about that.

I could be dead in a gutter

and you wouldn't notice, Mum.

Oh, I get it.

You're just doing it for attention, right?

(SCOFFS) You're married to a good man,

and you're f***ing a weasel of a man.

What does that say about you?

ZOE:
I literally just walked in

on you giving a man a blow job.

VICKY:
Are you saying...

- I'm your mother, and I'm the one...

- ZOE:
You're barely my mother.

VICKY:
Your stupid dad

is not raring to look after you.

And you think he's so fantastic,

so great, and you hate me.

ZOE:
I can't even listen to this.

I cannot even listen to this right now.

Stewart Sharkey.

What's going on?

I'm being screwed by the same guy

who's screwing my wife.

F***.

- He's cleaned my accounts out.

- What?

I promised the number one supplier

in Colombia

I'd have his money by tomorrow,

and now it's gone.

Well, I'll set up a meeting,

find out where he's staying.

It would be a very short meeting,

and I wouldn't be leaving it alive.

Now, I want you to stay here.

Keep a low profile.

What are you going to do?

Go home.

- It'll be okay, Vics.

- How is it going to be okay?

He'll be coming for us right now.

He's not f***ing Superman.

It's an eight-hour flight, for a start.

- Come on.

- (SIGHS) Just leave me alone.

This is all your fault.

That's not fair.

He's hardly going to care about what's fair.

(SIGHS) I always said not there.

Your place, hotels. That's what we agreed.

But you just had to

do it in his bed, didn't you?

Spray your f***ing seed on the competition.

- Oh, so it's all my f***ing fault, is it?

- He's going to kill us.

He'll need to find us to do that.

Look, can't you see this is meant to be?

Us together, properly.

I'm fed up with him treating you like sh*t

and me like a servant.

We both deserve a better life,

and you're going to get that.

And how are you going to afford that?

I transferred his money

into an off-shore account.

You serious?

We're rich.

(WOMAN SHOUTING IN OTHER LANGUAGE)

(SPITS)

Sir.

You know,

you're going to get a really sore throat

if you keep shouting like that.

It's all right because

we've got plenty of water for you.

Don't go anywhere.

Sorry to interrupt. Are you okay, sir?

What? Yeah, I was married once.

You get used to that kind of verbal abuse.

It's nothing. What is it?

Okay. I thought you'd like to see this.

HATHAWAY:
Donovan's house.

Well, well.

- I wonder what he'll make of this.

- PARKER:
He already knows.

The daughter called him.

I've sent you the taped conversation.

Well, I do believe the cock

will be coming home to roost.

Alert airport security, for what it's worth,

- and head up a team to cover the house.

- Sir.

- When was this?

- About an hour ago.
