It's the same with all owners

of small pubs.

I did not know they would.

- You did not want to be here, mate.

I told Arthur that I would settle.

I need a little time.

I am also zeroed.

I need. Still a week

Go get the money, motherf***er

or I'll burn your house down.

I even give him my house

if I can not pay.

On my children Paul, I promise.

Than a week.

You do not want me to come see you.

Thanks Paul, thanks junior.

- Do not thank me dick.

You leave us no choice.

- I promise solemnly.

Thanks Paul.

Okay.

A message from the Godfather.

That was not necessary.

This was necessary, an uprising of the mice.

Let's go.

I want to talk with you about.

If the baby is born,

I think we have to move.

I want to be here no parent.

- Paul Ferris lives in Glasgow, is not it?

Do you think it's a boy?

- A girl.

To educate my child in this sh*t hole?

- I've had enough.

How to get here?

We have done what someone recently.

I'm not happy.

It's not that I did not previously

have been a bad situation.

I lie well in the market, that's for sure.

It was just a man

that our money was guilty.

This has affected me.

I realized that I am

what I have always detested.

An aggressor and a leech.

I go out with those bastards who

made my life hell.

Where the hell am I doing?

So I've decided that I myself

late pick up and then I quit.

Are you serious?

- I'm serious.

Pigs can fly so?

- I want to stop.

Enough is enough.

- We'll see.

You want, make plans?

What plans?

- Taking over the old man.

He just does things to you about?

- Not really.

Do you understand, are you interested in?

Can I ask why?

- Do you mind?

Go ahead.

Want some?

- No, do not thank me, you.

Do not get me wrong, Tam.

I love my father.

What I'm worried about is getting old

too soft, things run.

Spoken between us he wants nothing

have to do with heroin.

He says it is too great a risk.

Damn Tam, there's all the money.

I'm fed up with only those exactions.

You can get hurt and there is

at least no money.

If you have the police surrendered

then nothing is left.

I listen.

- Okay.

This is what I'm thinking.

When I get to that old, lose

people's respect for me.

Do you understand what I mean?

Inappropriate, how could he do that.

He is not loyal, that bullshit.

I still listen.

- But if you turn it off

then it's just business.

There is a large funeral...

And then everyone forgot.

I'll handle it for you, Tam.

It will be so easy.

And then?

- And then I put it in with you.

Who wants a war?

We divide the empire with a line.

Every 50% of everything.

Drugs, clubs, protection

the damn pimps

and hops, thank you all.

I hear what you say junior, but I think

you've forgotten

you have a small problem.

I say a little problem.

He? Let the f***ing Ferris

to me.

I have big plans for him.

I'll deal with that bastard

for once and for all.

That's part of the deal.

Raymond Bonnar. Show my name on.

I was not even there.

He is trapped by Ian Brierley.

- This is a serious situation, guys.

This is going to be high at stake.

Where did you get that information?

- Vanco, gave me that information.

He is a good source.

Bonnar is caught for murder.

He gives them information

in exchange for a deal.

Police say that dick

super selling marijuana.

Arthur, I do not understand.

- We are the three of a team not?

Junior, Tam and I, right?

So why do they only know my name?

That's a f***ing mystery.

I do not take risks.

I love me just lay low.

You are safest with Paul.

No, I already thought of a holiday.

And if I'm wanted for attempted murder

then it will be a long holiday.

That's all I need right now.

Someone must sit for nothing.

Take her out to Comney park.

Employee of the month.

It is beautiful there, you see

those lovely little squirrels.

Not gray, the little red.

Very soothing.

I am suspected of murder and he

talks about red squirrels.

Do you want to take it easy?

To take it slow, take a break.

Junior, will you bring it back.

Go get your stuff

and do not worry while you are away.

I will knit all right.

Here we are.

What do you think?

Not bad, right?

It's fine.

I point the way.

If you need anything, call me, okay?

- Okay, thanks.

I like to do it, no problem, Anne.

You need to relax and enjoy.

Look, I better go.

My old, you know.

But do not worry,

we do it all, right?

Thank you.

- We keep in touch

and we'll keep you informed.

Keep your head up.

It's beautiful.

Nice that we may use.

Yes, I thought you

could use some distraction.

This is where I want to live.

One day, Anne, ever.

What shall we do?

I am hungry for a nice lunch.

There are many fine restaurants

in the harbor.

No, we have come here

to the people to be away.

To relax, just you and me, okay?

- Okay.

That sounds good.

Hello, who?

I think you have the wrong number, okay.

Police.

- No movement on the floor.

Down and your hands behind your back.

Do not move.

Wait.

- You little a**hole

you know what I'm gonna do this?

Damn, stay where you are

and do not move.

There is a woman in the house.

- That's my wife, she's pregnant.

No accidents, can you hear me?

- Shut up.

No accidents.

- Shut up.

Remove the WPC here, now.

Do you want her out

, please?

Anything?

- A bat and some money.

Are you sure?

- I've searched and it is clean.

Damn.

What's this?

- You tell me.

Brown powder?

That's heroin.

Get the colre.

- If it is purely

you will get 8 to 15 years for trade.

- Get the colre, you bastard.

I can disappear

but that's gonna cost you.

If I must be down, then makes

it does not matter how long it takes

but then I look at you

and blow your f***ing head off.

I'll shoot you, you bastard.

- Shut up.

No, you keep your head.

Paul, you are associated

with the murder of Raymond Bonnar.

Do you have something to say?

- No comment.

Raymond Bonnar, has stated that you

tried to murder him.

What do you say?

No comment.

We have pure morphine, money

and weapons found in your residence.

Would you comment on that?

No comment.

- We also found...

Without respect, that's nonsense.

Tell me what I've done.

Let me tell you this, Ferris.

Who do you actually think you are?

You can not threaten to shoot me. Down

Well, listen to me.

We got a tip,

that you would sit in that house.

Think there is about it. Someone,

has put a price on your head

and that is not a waste.

You're a f***ing legend.

If I could sing, I was not...

I want to see anybody.
