- Mm-hmm.

- Chris. You heard him.

- Yeah.

Jesus Christ.

That is beautiful. Thanks.

I know how hard it is to get hold

of these things over here, so...

It's a good gun.

- Listen, I should be buying

you something. - Aren't you?

- It's going fine. Don't worry. - I never

worry, Jack. It makes me look ugly.

Like, you know, I don't wanna

sit on this sh*t for too long.

It's... it's here?

Come on, Jack.

You know I don't talk...

about stuff I ain't got.

Yeah, it's here.

40 K's.

That'll keep London talking

sh*t for a long time.

- What, you bring it here?

- Yeah. It's up to you, Jack.

I just wanna see it move.

- What are you doing tonight?

- We're closed.

You're closed? Good.

Come over to my place.

We're gonna have a thing for some

investors. We'll work it out there, okay?

How about you, Chris?

You about finished here?

Is he almost...

could you let him off early?

I wanted to take a ride around town.

He could show me stuff.

Huh? Then we'll go over to my place,

we'll party a little.

Have a nice little steak, huh?

Fine. Yeah. Great.

Like my car?

Yeah.

What's not to like?

You wanna drive?

- I haven't got a license.

- So, don't hit anything.

# Go, go #

These guys

are so funny, man.

Oh, man.

I love this f***in' town.

You know?

I love this country.

It's so, uh...

it's so...

you know, so old.

You know.

People got no ambition, though.

I mean, it's a shame.

It's really f***in' depressing.

What about you, Chris? You gonna spend

the rest of your life behind a bar?

Guy like you, you could have

anything you want.

Any f***in' thing you want.

You know that?

It's up to you.

You still worried about

what happened?

- Yeah. - Well, I'm upset too,

you know.

- We're hearin' one thing from you and

one thing... - You're hearin', I'm hearin'.

I'm hearin' all day about it.

I told you what happened.

All right? There's no

secrets here. You know?

Cops, I told you,

they kept him up all night.

My boys didn't say nothin'.

Next morning, bullet to the head.

- But they can't do that. - Yeah,

well, they did do it, all right?

Why don't you f***in' drop it? That's

what they got planned for people like us.

Just watch your back,

keep your f***in' mouth shut.

- All right?

Come on, loosen up.

You're makin' me look bad.

It's a party. You want somethin',

What the f*** do you

I didn't bring you here to suck

that sh*t up your nose all night.

Ohh.

Don't, please.

Shut up! Do me a favor.

Do me a favor.

Mingle. Mingle.

Come on, f*** somethin'. What

Jesus Christ.

telling you about. - Yeah.

They're over there.

- They good boys?

- Yeah.

Call me.

Come forward, lads.

This is Fraser. Fraser,

Pleased to meet you,

gentlemen.

- So, you got everything you

need here? - Yeah, man.

- Good to see you.

- Nice party.

- How'd you like to make some quick money?

- I love to make money.

Hey. Where you goin'?

I've got to go.

Got somewhere else to be.

Oh. Well, you be good,

All right?

Hey, wait!

- Got a cigarette?

- Yeah.

Good.

- So, uh, you're leaving?

- Yeah. Yeah.

- What's the matter, aren't you having fun?

- No, it's great. I'm tired.

Oh, you're tired.

- Okay, go. Go.

- Yeah.

- Hey, you want a ride? I'll give

you a ride. - No. No, thanks.

# Seriously it can't

- He's okay. - Yeah, he's

one of the family.

- You okay?

- Yeah. Yeah.

I-I was just puttin' me walkman

away. It's knackered.

- Where you headed?

- Bethnal Green.

- I'll come with ya.

- Yeah. Sure.

- This has to stop. - You know who it is.

Just arrest him.

- You've met him?

- Yes, I've met him.

What's wrong, Chris?

One of the guys at the club... Mark Byrne...

I think he suspects something.

Who's he?

Jack's hardly ever there.

Mark kinda runs things.

He knows everything.

He watches me.

- I can feel him watching me.

- Something's going to happen soon? Where?

You don't care, do you?

At the club, probably.

It's all on the tape.

Tell me about Mark Byrne.

What are you doing?

- I'm just trying to find out

something about you. - Did you?

What do you expect me to do?

Look,

you've been spending a lot

of time here recently.

I-I don't think it's,

it's fair on, on you. I can't...

You want me to leave?

Fine.

- Get off me!

- Rachael. - Get off me!

- Listen to me. - I'm trying, Chris,

but you don't say anything.

- Wait.

- Don't touch me!

You asked me to stay,

now you want me to go!

- You don't understand!

- No, I don't understand!

You disappear without a word,

you come back,

You won't even tell me

where you've been!

I mean, what am I supposed

to think, Chris?

What are you so scared of?

How can you stand

being so unhappy?

How can I?

Hello?

- Hi.

- John?

- How are you? - Christ, John, it's the

middle of the night. I'm exhausted.

Marty's been whining all day.

He locked himself in his room.

Is he okay?

He lost a tooth.

He's been crying all afternoon.

Why'd he get so upset?

Because the tooth fairy forgot to

leave something under his pillow.

I was busy. I forgot.

Oh.

You all right?

Fine.

Okay, I gotta go.

The tooth fairy's beat.

What's wrong?

It'll be okay.

Yeah, I know.

John.

What do you want, John?

I, um...

I, uh...

Just wanted to talk.

Oh, hi. How are ya?

I'll get this and send

somebody to pay for it.

Who came up with the idea of sticking

a slice of lime in a bottle of beer?

Probably the geezer that first

tasted the contents. Fizzy piss.

- Can I get you a girl, luv?

- Don't beg.

Toss off.

You all right?

Come on, spit it out.

- I wanna ask you something.

- What?

- You wanna score

something? - Yeah.

- Something to liven

me up. - Yeah.

- Let's go down there.

- Yeah, come on. No problem.

Let's see what we got here

for you, then.

Listen, Christian, take it easy

on this sh*t, all right?

- Promise me?

- Of course. Cheers.

- How much do I owe you?
