King is back on the horse.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You're back on the horse?

No, I mean

I'm back on the bike.

What is bike?

What do you mean?

What is bike slang for?

Bicycle.

I'm lost.

Don't be.

Okay.

Listen.

This is our chance to finally

finish what we started.

Come on, man,

it'll be f***ing mental!

I think we're all done.

So...

How do you like

the property?

Yeah. It's amazing.

Amazing location.

Fantastic.

Fantastic aspects.

It's just... It's just a little

bit out of our price range.

He'll knock some off for you.

What's it down for?

1.2 million.

F*** off!

You have my card.

Gary, WTF?

It's good to see you,

too, O-Man.

Please don't call me O-Man.

Sure.

Hey, how's your sister?

She's fine.

She talk about me?

No.

So, Friday, we'll all

go down together.

Make a road trip of it,

I'll drive.

Don't think I can. I think I've

got a doctor's appointment.

Yeah, you do.

With Dr. Ink!

You know, Dr. Ink?

Yeah. "Drink." I get it.

Come on. It wouldn't be the

same without the O-Man.

Jesus.

You can see the guys, see how they're doing.

Tell them how you're doing.

You never know, you might

make it to the end this time.

And Andy's definitely coming?

Yeah.

Andy Knightley?

Totes.

And you convinced him how?

Mr. Knightley.

Felicity.

You have a friend

here to see you.

No, I don't.

This is a bit grown up, isn't it?

Yup.

Saw the boys the other day.

Mmm-hmm.

O-Man, Stevie-Baby,

the Petertron.

Yeah, I remember the names of

our childhood friends, Gary.

We had ourselves

a little idea.

Did you now?

Yeah. We're going to go

back to Newton Haven.

Why? For some

unfinished business.

That's a joke, right?

Five guys. Twelve pubs. Fifty pints.

Sixty pints.

Steady on,

you f***ing alky.

I haven't had a drink

for 16 years, Gary.

You must be thirsty then.

We can go back, see the guys, chew the

fat, it'll be just like it always was,

except this time we're going to

finish this thing once and for all.

You have a very selective

memory, Gary. Thanks.

You remember

the Friday nights.

I remember the

Monday mornings.

Yeah, that's why we're

going back on a Friday.

Why do you think none of

us live in Newton Haven anymore?

I don't know. Because it's a black hole.

It's boring.

It always was

and it always will be.

It's only boring

because we're not there.

It's pointless arguing with you.

Exactly. So come.

I'm picking everybody up from High

Wycombe station, Friday, 3:00 sharp.

No, Gary.

Oh, God, why? Have you got

to check with your missus?

No, actually, I don't have

to check with my missus.

What are you doing?

I'm showing you the door.

Is it a door?

it doesn't have a lintel.

And it's glass. So is it a

window or is it a door?

Maybe it's a windoor.

You can have that.

Please leave, Gary.

All right. All right.

600, wasn't it?

Oh, um, I thought you should know.

What?

Mum died.

When?

Couple of weeks ago.

The big cancer.

I'm sorry.

She just always really

liked you, you know.

Got me thinking

about the old days.

Particularly that night, you

know, because we were so happy.

And, you know, I love

the boys like brothers,

but when all's said and done,

you're the best friend I ever had.

It was good to

see you, mate.

Pete?

Steven. Thank God.

I had a horrible feeling I was

going to be the only one here.

I reckon that's not the last horrible

feeling you're gonna have today, mate.

This can't be happening.

Can it?

You said it. What the

hell are we doing here?

What we always did.

Follow Gary King into

almost certain oblivion.

Hello, Steven.

You all right, mate?

Pete. Hi, mate.

Didn't we decide to stop calling him

Fearless Leader somewhere around 1992?

Old habits die hard.

They'll be putting that

on Gary's tombstone.

No, they won't.

You know he'll outlive us all.

That'd be funny

if it wasn't true.

Hang on a sec.

What?

I'm just trying to decide which of

us is the biggest idiot for coming.

Maybe he had an accident.

Oh, sorry, Andy.

Sorry. No,no,no. It's fine.

I think Gary having

an accident

would actually be the best outcome

for all of us, including Gary.

Unbelievable.

Oh, yes.

Look at these c*nts.

You're late.

No, I'm not.

Yeah, you are. You said 3:00.

It's almost 4:
00.

Yeah, 3 for 4.

You know your problem, Gary?

You're never wrong.

How is that a problem?

I can't believe you bought

another Granada Mark ll.

What do you mean?

This looks exactly like

the car I sold you in 1989.

This is the car you sold me in 1989.

Best 300 quid I ever spent.

This is The Beast?

Yeah.

Pretty much. I mean, she's

had a bit of work done.

I had to replace the brakes,

suspension, exhaust, seats, wheels,

paneling, carburetor, manifold, the whole

engine, really, mirrors, headlamps.

Other than that,

she's the same old motor.

You could almost

say an antique.

Well, then let's get this

antique on the roadshow.

Come on, you bellends.

We're going to be late.

And we're back.

Just like the Five Musketeers.

Three Musketeers,

isn't it?

Four if you count

D'Artagnan.

Well, nobody knows how many there

were, really, do they, Pete?

I mean,

history's a sketchbook.

You do know that The Three

Musketeers is a fiction, right?

Written by Alexandre Dumas?

A lot of people are saying that

about the Bible these days.

What, that it was written by

Alexandre Dumas?

Don't be daft, Steve,

it was written by Jesus.

Oh. Anyway, five

sounds much better.

I think they missed a trick

only having three.

'Cause you'd have five, then two could've

died and they'd still have three left.

Are we there yet?

Let's do this!

Soup Dragons!

I remember this one.

I put this on a tape

for you, didn't I?

Yeah, this is it.

This is the tape?

Yeah, yeah! Look, look.

Where did you find it?

it was in the tape player.

Oh, look. Is anyone hungry?

I need a piss actually.

This is a long piss.

If it is a piss.

Might be a little...

Poo.

How is that a poo?

Still work for your old man, Pete?

Yeah. I'm a partner now.

You?

Yeah, started my own firm in '98.

Got bought out in '05.

I'm happier, though.

It's less stress.

Ollie?

Property.

I co-manage a boutique estate

agency in North London.

Very competitive.

Is it family law you're in, Andy?

Corporate.

Does anyone know

what Gary's doing?

He's playing Need For Speed.

Over there.

Come on, come on,

come on!

He hasn't changed, has he?

I don't know. He did finally

pay me back that 600.

Really? He borrowed 200 off me.

And me.

I can't believe it.

I can't believe you'd do that!

Oh! Of course I can.

It's just robbing

Peter to pay Paul.

No, I borrowed it from Peter to pay you.

I still owe Paul.

Oh, sh*t.

Newton Haven.

Take a moment to look upon it in its original

colors, boys, for tonight we paint it red.

Oh, no, no, no. Sh*t.

F***, f***, f***.

F***, f***.

Oh, no, it's okay,

I did it all in the services.

Know why I pulled

you over, sir?

Was the music too loud?

Your left brake light is faulty.
