You can't give up now.

Look how far we've come.

- This just isn't me, Trevor.

I'm normally asleep by now

not being out in the middle of the night

in the ass end of

wherever the f*** we are!

- Bank's Town.

- And being no closer to

my fiancee or Sio Bohan.

- If they're

not cops, then what are they?

- Nobodies.

A couple of real nobodies.

This one's a cab driver.

Do you know why we've brought you here?

- 'Cause we're looking for Sio Bohan?

- Correct.

- Are you going to stop

looking for Sio Bohan?

- Yes.

- Yes to what?

- Yes, I'm going to stop

looking for Sio Bohan.

- Good.

That's exactly what we wanted to hear.

- Oh what a mistake you've made.

- Trevor!

- Do you have any idea of the sh*t storm

you've just brought to your front door?

- What the hell is he on about?

- We're fine, Trevor!

- Shut up, Nick.

Don't you think the

boys would like to know

that every word they've

just said has been heard

by the entire federal police,

that every move they make

is being picked up by one

of 18 pinhole cameras?

- He's making it up guys.

- The f*** I am!

Boys, you better think long

and hard about your next move

because if it isn't lying on the floor

with your hands on your head,

then it may very well

be watching the contents

of your chest spill on to the floor

as snipers bullets rifle

through your retched body!

Are they laying down?

- Sure.

- We really are federal agents.

- Yeah?

Yeah, okay.

Yep.

Okay, yep.

Okay.

Cool.

We got to go.

- What happens now?

- Nothing.

This was just a friendly warning.

Stay away or next time

it won't be so friendly.

- It won't be friendly at all.

- I was trying to build the tension.

- It's actually going to be quite violent.

- Yeah, they get that.

- Do ya' get that?

- Yeah, we get that.

Guess that's the end of that.

- We've got to find Mona.

- You're not going to go

further with this, are you?

- Why wouldn't I?

- Well, she couldn't

have picked a worse bloke

to have an affair with.

I mean, you don't want to go head to head

with this psycho over a girl, do ya'?

- I'm legitimately worried.

What if she has no idea

what she's gotten into?

I got to save her

and then break up with her.

- She's the one who had

the affair, remember that.

You don't owe her anything.

- I don't want her to die.

- But you don't want to die either!

- I got to do something, anything.

- Anything?

- Anything.

- All right then.

I'm with ya'.

- Thank you, Trevor.

That means a lot.

- I want you to listen

to exactly what I say.

In my back pocket is a Swiss army knife.

I want you to take it out

and cut me free.

- A pocket knife is not going

to cut through handcuffs, Trevor.

- It's not for the handcuffs, Nick.

- Hang on.

Trevor, you realize we've

got the keys, right?

- What?

- Yeah.

They left them on the floor over here.

- Why didn't you f***ing tell me that?

I was going to cut my hand off!

Right, come on.

- What are you doing?

You going forwards or backwards?

- No, we're going to rock over.

Are you ready?

One, two

It's just doodles.

- I think these guys must work

security at the Emerald Club.

- What makes you think that?

- These posters, look.

- New Years Ebe?

- Flyers for an event at the Emerald

and stickers that say "I've

been to the Emerpold."

- One of Sio's clubs?

This must be a dumping ground

for all their misprints.

- And that's not all, look.

- We should get out of here.

- Yeah, let's get out of here.

Where the f*** are we?

- The cab's this way.

Nick, Nick, Nick!

I got a better idea.

Janet, need a pick up.

It's not bad in the back.

- Is that right?

- Yeah.

- I've never ridden in the back.

- Okay, let's do this.

- Aye,

they're not letting us in

there looking like this.

- No.

So check it out

Yep yep yep yep

- Fellas, back of the line.

Come on?

- What, why?

- I don't know, one, you're cut.

Two, no groups of guys.

- Wait, we're hardly a group.

There's two of us!

- You let those two guys in.

- They brought girls.

- Where are we going to find some girls?

Thanks again for helping

me out again, Stacey.

You're the best.

- I just hope it all

works out okay for you.

- Hang on.

Is he with you?

- Yeah, he's with me.

- Yep.

- All right.

- Come on.

- Uh, now we've been through this, mate.

- Would you go in to the club with me?

Hello, I need a female companion

to go into the club with.

Would you go in to the club with me?

Sorry.

I need a date.

- Hey, we're looking for Sio Bohan.

- I don't know who you're talking about.

- Hold this.

Now you listen to me, I

know this is his club,

so don't f*** with me!

Have you seen him?

- No!

- I said don't f*** with me!

- All right, all right, I saw him!

You just missed him.

He left about 10 minutes ago.

- Was he with someone?

- A girl, a blonde girl.

- What were they doing here?

- I don't know, they were

drinking and dancing.

- What kind of dancing?

Sexy dancing?

- Yeah, I guess?

- Kissing?

- Yeah?

- Tongues?

- Yeah?

- Hands, where are his hands!

- Through her hair?

- Through her hair?

- Yeah?

- On her back?

- Yeah?

- On her ass?

- Yeah?

- On her breasts?

Where were her hands?

- You really don't want to know.

- She's definitely cheating.

I'm sorry.

- You probably need one of these.

- This is the worst day of my life.

It literally couldn't get any worse.

- I love this song!

- What did I do wrong?

- You didn't do anything wrong, she did.

- Why is she doing this?

- Because she's a b*tch.

- Probably f***ing him right now!

- Have you gone and seen a doctor?

- Yep.

- Are you going to just try?

- Potassium tablets and magnesium tablets

and none of it works.

- You need to get magnesium in a powder.

- Oh!

- All right, one drink, two drinks.

Look, I'll give you $50 for half an hour.

$50!

- Oi!

Got money to burn, sweetheart?

Why don't you burn it down here?

- You know what I think Nicholas?

I think you need to just

get back on the horse

or get back on a different horse

or a horse that knows how great you are.

- I'm not that great.

- Look at everything you've done tonight

to try and stop her and win her back.

You risked your life for her

and she doesn't even know it.

- Yeah.

- Any girl would kill to

have you as her boyfriend.

- Yeah?

- She should have at

least broken up with you

before she went off to

screw some other guy.

You deserve better than that.

- That's true.

I do, right?

I do deserve something better than that.

I can't marry someone like that.

- No way!

- I should just move

on, she obviously has!

- You should.

- I should just go and have

sex with somebody else,

see how she likes it.

- I would.

Love is the night

Yeah love is the night

- I don't get what you want, sir.

- All I want to know is

how much will it cost

for you and I to go in the club together?

- For public sex?

- No, no sex!

- Blow job?

- Blow job is sex!

All I want is for you and

I to walk through the door.

I get to stay on the inside
