- Rover?

Yeah. What?

It's just not very believable,

Guy like me with a dog called Rover.

All right, you choose a name.

Psycho.

Psycho.

Yeah, mate of mine in sinfin

calls his staff that.

It's a detail.

Right.

Right. You just keep

a lookout. Sh*t!

You ain't gonna do much damage

with that, are ya?

Mr. Eglitis? I appreciate

that you're scared.

- Do not come in!

- Right.

I'm gonna put something

through the door.

- I'm Newcastle police.

- It's not me you want!

We know your life's

been threatened.

We think you might

be #4, Danil.

Can I call you Danil?

That's why I'm here.

We want to take you

into protective custody.

Why don't you come out

and talk to me?

You all right?

Are we good?

Can I stand up now?

Now the car is parked

up there on the track.

Do wanna walk with me, or do you

wanna wait here and I'll go fetch it?

I'll walk.

- Psycho!

- You're not cop.

Psycho!

Oh!

- How many?

- Eh?

- How many were there?

- Uh...

- You did see someone, right?

- I thought so.

Get the car.

- Are you gonna do him in?

- Get the f***ing car!

Hey, sorry about

the false alarm.

It's all right.

It's probably better to be a little

bit further off the track.

Give us a go?

"Give us a go"?

Yeah, when ya...

Can I...

Could be the only chance

I ever get.

- Here.

- What about the gun?

- He doesn't use one.

- He does.

Did.

No. no, not him.

You cut it off, right?

You cut it off right here.

- You?

- Me what?

- You're the handyman?

- What?

No! No, no, no, no, no.

No no, He's supposed to look

like just another victim,

you know, so it doesn't

get traced back to me.

So just here.

All right?

On you go.

See on his hand?

Look, it says "Mate."

No, it doesn't say "Mate."

It says "Mom"

and "Dad" in Latvian.

- Latvian? - That's what

they speak in Latvia.

Are you gonna do this or what?

Try not to look in his eyes,

so you don't identify with him.

Well, it's a bit odd not to.

Well...

Think...

Of something that you hate.

Something that

you hate so much

that you'd be willing to kill it.

No, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, up a bit.

Up a bit, up a bit.

Right. right there. Bang on.

Oh, man, what's that?

Oh!

Muscles relax when you die.

- So he shat himself?

- Yeah, I must've hit him too hard.

Still...

- Job done, eh?

- No, no, no, here.

The wounds aren't

supposed to be postmortem.

Oh!

Not on the ground.

Oh, man.

Here ya are.

- Huh?

- Grab this.

Oh, f***.

Why don't you go

and keep an eye out?

Just like before.

Not in that outfit!

Oh, yeah.

Sick bastard.

Right.

Good afternoon, darling.

It's not as ugly

as it looks.

Deer in these forests

are protected,

so you gotta

butcher them on the spot.

And what with the roads

around here--

They don't always get

where they're going,

- Especially the older ones.

- Mmm.

We're just trying

to make a living, really.

Restaurants around here,

they pay 10 quid a kilo,

Some of 'em.

So I'll tell you

what we're gonna do:

We're gonna pack up and you're

gonna go on your way.

And then I'll give you

a nice little something

for the campfire tonight,

all right?

Oi!

Now no one needs to get hurt.

Now my friend here is

gonna come over to you

And he's gonna relieve you

of your rucksack.

Well, go on.

What are you waiting for?

Off you go.

Right.

Oh, god!

Just trying

to make it easier on you.

I'm sorry about this, darling.

You said you wanted

to kill someone.

Now's your chance.

Can't we just

tie her up somewhere?

Oh, jesus!

Get the bag!

This is why I work alone.

Not that bag, the other one.

Oh.

If we get caught, yeah,

Will they think

we did all three?

You've got alibis

for the other two, have you?

All right, bend over

like you're in pain.

Do what?

- For f***'s sake!

- No, stay down.

God.

Have you seen a red car

go by here, fast?

Yeah.

Bastard hit my son.

He didn't even stop.

Oh, my god.

is he okay?

He's never really been okay.

- Could you get in the back?

- Eh?

In the back. Go on.

In you go.

You all right to drive?

Uh-huh.

F***ing hell.

There's no rush.

- Other way.

- Huh?

They just passed her.

Other way.

Well, which way now?

- Do you have a phone?

- In my bag.

All right, out you get.

What the f*** are

you waiting for?

- So how do we know which

way she went? - We don't.

How are we gonna

f***ing find her then?

Pull over.

I need to use the phone.

You've got a phone

in your hand.

Here.

And turn the f***ing seat around.

Is it Adam?

It's business.

Well, I did wonder.

Okay, got it.

Oi, don't be mad.

My phone is still

in the Granada.

Side pocket, mate.

What's your number?

Oi, what's your number?

I don't know.

Well, who rings

themselves up?

Well, do you know

anybody's number?

Somebody who might

have your number?

- Yeah, my mom's.

- All right, call her.

Hiya, mom.

Yeah.

No, I can't talk.

I just need me number.

No, I haven't lost it, no.

Oh, mom!

Just give him

the f***ing number.

Hiya. okay, right.

I need a pen.

Three, one, double eight.

All right, mom.

Yup, I'll be back later on.

Yeah, I promise.

Okay okay, bye.

Call it.

Double eight.

Don't hang up.

Listen to me very carefully.

You have something of ours

and I want it back.

It's not the car.

It's not the phone.

It's the bag.

All right, you give me

the bag back,

I'll give you five grand in cash.

Now there's a diner

just south of you.

We can be there in 15 minutes.

You give me the bag.

I'll give you the cash.

You go your way.

I'll go mine.

And I'll need 20 minutes.

You have 10.

- She knew him.

- Huh?

Her accent-- she knew him.

How fast can you

make this thing go?

Pull over here.

We're a bit short.

Now you keep an eye

on her till I get back.

If she tries to leave,

block her in.

This should buy us some time.

What are you gonna do?

- Block her if she tries to leave, man.

- All right.

I'll meet you out front.

# I hope you're

feeling the scene #

# Like everyone has

picked up their prize #

# When it's just

you and the beat #

# 'Cause I can't even

get out of my bed #

# But if you wanna go now

# Oh baby, don't you go,

in the night I told you #

# You say you wanna go

and the one who told you #

# You tumble out of bed,

they're the one who told you #

# You say you wanna go,

in the night I told you #

# You tumble out of bed, they're

the one who told you... #

Wha-- hey!

What the f***?

So how do you wanna do this?

I stay in the car.

Right, I've got the second

half right here.

Hang on a tick.

Excuse me.

Would you do me a favor?

Just take this...

And give it to that young lady

in the red car.

- Why don't you do it?

- 'Cause I've got a gun.

You've got a nice family, so...

On you go.

Right, this gentleman

is gonna give you

- the second installment.

- Here, watch it.

Give him the picnic bag

and tell him to bring it to me.

All right?

Otherwise, I'll kill you.

# You tumble out of bed,

they're the one who told you #

# You say you wanna go
