And I am.

You are a pain in the ass

who fucks up everything he touches.

Okay, David, but then I want

that account closed.

It will be.

I haven't got the account number.

Have you?

It's at home.

I'll have to wake Rebecca,

she won't like that.

Thank you.

Hello. Hiya.

Was she asleep?

Sorry.

Are you stressed?

Yeah, sorry.

I know, sorry.

This is gonna sound

like a strange request.

I need you to get the Mum folder.

I just... I need the details

so I can close it down.

No, don't say that.

He just... he just forgot, that's all.

No, I'm not.

I'm not sticking up for him.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Yeah, I know. Sorry.

Can l... can I have it, though, please?

Thank you.

You f***ing c*nts!

Get me out of this

f***ing smelly f***ing room now!

You f***ing bastards!

Take me out of this room, you slags!

I've had nothing to eat!

I am not a f***ing animal!

Andrew.

I knew it was you, you smelly f***.

You are f***ing dead!

David, I've dropped the phone

in some water downstairs!

I've seen your face, dead c*nt.

You're dead,

you're all dead!

Ugly, David,

and fat f***ing Andrew!

I must be the biggest idiot

out of all of us

for getting involved with you

and for getting you involved.

What are we gonna do?

Let me see the phone.

It's broken.

I can f***ing see that!

I'm sorry, it was the pond.

How's your phone?

It's run out of battery.

- Okay, have you got a charger?

- Yes.

Great. Where is it?

In the club.

What the f*** is it doing there?!

It's plugged in the wall.

It was a rhetorical question!

I'm gonna have to go up

to that village, use a payphone.

Won't he recognize your voice?

She knows now, doesn't she?

So none of that means

anything anymore.

I'm not the only one

that makes mistakes.

You think you're perfect!

Shut up, Peter!

For once in your life, shut up!

And take some

f***ing responsibility!

I take it that that is right?

F***ing hell!

You blocked me in, you c*nt!

What the f***?

What are you doing?

What the f*** you doing?

Hello, you mother, Arnie.

How many?

Andrew, that guy David,

and some bald mother.

What do you want us to do?

Okay, I send you details now.

Muk Li, get rid of this f***.

What did you say?

Arnie coming now,

and he very pissed man.

Okay, dumb f***, we go now.

No, please! Please, no!

No! Please!

Arnie.

Yes, it's me.

Yeah, thanks for that.

You never know

when you'll need a tissue.

I'll check the account in the morning,

and I'll call you back.

What?

F***.

What the f*** are you all staring at?

Stranger, eh?

I've seen a few flash cars

driving through here tonight.

You're up at

the Barnaby cottage, in't ya?

What the f***'s

it got to do with you?

You make sure you lock your doors.

Strangers don't fare well

in these parts.

What?

Thorn! Thorn.

You just don't go wandering.

That's my advice to you, my lad.

Thanks, great.

Muk Li.

You finished?

What the f***?

Sh*t!

Peter!

Peter!

Wake up, you fat f***.

Where's that b*tch and my brother?

I've been gone for less than an hour.

What the f***'s been going on?

Stop squeezing, I can't think.

You're not capable of thinking,

you're a f***ing idiot.

- What happened?

- Ow.

Okay, wait.

Where's Peter?

That's the point. He and your sister

have gone missing.

She was hitting me.

I'm going to hit you in a minute.

Wait. I remember.

Wee were sat at the table

when she started to bang

on the ceiling,

so we both went upstairs

to see what she wanted.

She wanted to use the toilet.

I said it was a bad idea,

but he said we should allow it.

I told him we couldn't trust her,

so we went in with her.

After she'd done a urine,

she said she wanted to wipe herself,

and unless we wanted to do it for her,

we'd have to untie her.

Well, I didn't fancy it,

and I don't think

your brother did either.

So we untied her.

But that's

when he started to freak out.

I don't know why.

There was something in the room.

- Weas it a moth?

- Yeah.

Well, while we were distracted,

she lunged at me,

and I fell out with the door.

It hurt.

She was furious.

She grabbed Peter.

And then she came over

and hit me.

He's on his own with her.

He better be all right

for your f***ing sake.

I ca... what else can go wrong?

Help me!

What the f***?

Steven?

Do you know him?

Yes, I saw him this morning.

He cuts my hair.

What the f***'s he doing here?

Wait. You didn't tell him

about this, did you?

No.

Oh, yes.

No, I did.

You really are f***ing unbelievable.

Who brought you here?

Chinese... Korean?

- Muk Li and Chun Yo.

- Oh, no.

F***.

Where are they?

Did you see a bald bloke?

No.

Don't go out there.

You'll... die.

Oh, my God.

They've cut him open.

Is he dead?

What do you think?

Well, if they can do that to him,

they can do that to us.

Okay.

That's for everything

you've ever done.

All right, you got here

an hour and a half ago,

which means that, as Arnie

probably knows where we are,

he's less than an hour away.

Okay, get your ass in gear.

We're gonna find my brother,

grab your sister,

then we're f***ing off

back to the city.

Where's my knife?

My face!

You've broken my jaw, I know it.

Shut your f***ing mouth

and keep walking.

I've got a family. What are you

going to do to me?

I can't understand what you're saying.

Why did you bring me?

Because I couldn't move

me fat c*nt of a stepbrother,

and when I finally see me father,

he is gonna want to talk to someone,

and that will be you.

Why are we walking in the woods?

I hate woods.

There could be wolves out here.

Have you thought about that?

It's so cold. I'm really

temperature-sensitive, you know?

What?

Tem-pera-ture sen-si-tive.

You had better hope

that we find a phone soon,

or I am gonna stick this knife

in your balls.

Now, keep close to me,

and get a f***ing move on.

That's my brother's knife.

"Keep off land!"

Obviously

some thick c*nt lives here.

I can't climb up with this.

Stop staring at it

and get the f*** over it!

We shouldn't even be here.

It says, "Keep off land."

There's a dead animal.

We're going into the woods.

Is anyone there?

What?

Is anyone in the house?

Hello?

Right, fuckhead,

if you whinge, cry,

or do anything to let the owners

of this house know

that I'm gonna kill you,

I'll kill you. Got it?

This wasn't even my plan...

A nod of the f***ing head'll do.

Hello?

F***ing rubbish!

What the f*** are all these?

This isn't normal.

Where you going?

I'm going upstairs

to see if there's a phone.

Well, I might run away.

You might run away?

God, I can't take this anymore!

I can talk.

I can talk again!

F***ing run now, you c*nt!

Definitely won't be able to go

home again.

I should have checked

that bag for the money.

Damn it, I would have seen

those tissues...

Andrew, shut up a minute.

What?

Do you know

what Muk Li San looks like?

Yes.

Sh*t.

Yes, that's him.

What's happened?

He's had his throat cut.

Maybe it was Chun Yo Fu.

They're always arguing.

You don't get your throat slit
