- Me, too.

- So don't worry about it.

- Thanks.

We don't have to get married right now.

We can always wait till next week

or next month if you like.

I mean, there's no hurry!

So not funny!

My mum warned me about blokes like you.

I should hope she did!

I'll tell you what though...

- Danny, for goodness sake.

- Internet's gone again.

Mum! Mum! Come on, please!

Mark! Get down, man! Get down!

F***, get down!

F***! Sh*t!

Down!

It's all in your head, darling.

What the f***'s that?

OK. All right. OK. Stay down.

Stay down. Towards the door.

He's shooting at you, too?

- Is anybody hurt?

- We're not hit. My dad...

Oh, Jesus Christ!

- We need a mobile phone!

- I've got one. It's not working.

- Same here, there's no signal.

- The internet's down.

- Is it some son of terrorist thing.

- Why us? Why here?

- The police will son it out.

- But no-one's called them.

- I didn't hear any shots.

- He must be using a sound suppressor.

- So nobody heard it.

- The other block's empty.

It's a quarter of a mile

to any other buildings.

So no-one's coming for us.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God,

we've got to get out of here.

- No, don't, Mum. He's at the front.

- We'll go out the back, then!

It's not coming on. It's not working.

Why is it not working?

Probably the same reason

everything else is down.

- We'll get help somehow.

- How? How are we gonna do that?

- I don't know.

- Help!

Help!

Sit down, mate.

Did you hear that?

Someone was shooting into our flat!

- It's the same for all of us.

- Mark's been hurt! Someone help!

He's been hurt!

He's gonna die if nobody helps him!

Why should we?

You and that Kurtis bastard never help us!

Come on! This is slightly different!

He's gonna die if nobody helps. Please!

I can do first aid. Get me some

clean sheets or clothes and alcohol.

We've got vodka and some T-shins!

And if anyone has any painkillers,

bring them to me.

- It's OK.

- It's gonna be all right, bruv.

Jenny!

Are you OK?

Where's the kids?

They wanted to watch cartoons.

I stayed in bed.

Then I heard screaming.

OK, ready? Ready?

F***!

- Good lad.

- Did one of you do this?

Why would I do that?

That's your department, vandalism.

Why would someone do it?

They never did nothing to nobody!

He's shooting at everyone.

We don't know why.

- They was just kids!

- I know, I know!

We'll call for help.

We're gonna get out of here, OK?

- Please, somebody!

- Jesus! Violet!

- Where you going?

- It's OK.

Just keep still.

I'm gonna help you.

What's the point? Look at her!

She's f***ed!

What's a bit of torn-up T-shin gonna do?

Just shut up!

Just lie there and don't move. Shhh...

Don't try to talk.

- Where's Jeff?

- Shh.

It's OK.

We'll get help

and we'll get you out of here.

We're all gonna make it. OK?

' OK?

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

- Help! Amy?

- He's alive.

- Amy!

- He needs help!

- We're not going in!

- Nobody asked you to.

But somebody's gotta go in there!

And that would be me, apparently.

I'll go. I don't mind.

I mean, you've all got someone, I haven't.

Makes sense, really.

- Are you ready?

- Not really.

Thank you.

I had an opening in my schedule.

Jeff.

Jeff, come on.

- Where is she?

- She's in the hall.

Come on.

That's it, Jeff.

That's it, keep...

That's it. Stay down, down, down.

Stay down, stay down.

Stay down.

I'm so sorry.

Is everyone accounted for?

Who's missing?

Kurtis.

I suppose I better go and check.

- I'll wait here.

- OK.

Kurtis!

Kurtis, are you in there?

Kurtis!

It's OK, come on.

Check in there.

Yeah, he's... he's not in there.

Ready?

It's OK.

Kurtis, no! Agh!

- What the f*** are you playing at?

- Take it easy.

You f***ing take it easy!

Come closer, watch what I'll do!

Please,

we just wanted to check you were OK.

Right. Well, I'm fine. Thanks for asking.

How the f*** are you?

Someone's shooting into the flats

through the window.

I'll give you five seconds

to start telling the f***ing truth,

otherwise I'll start cutting off this ear.

- Look, look...

- Stay f***ing there, Paul!

- Five.

- Kurtis, it's true.

- Honestly, there's someone outside...

- Four.

- Brian's dead, Amy's dead.

- Three.

Jenny's kids. Mark's been hun.

Call him! There's no signal!

- One!

- Open the curtains!

- No, you f***ing open them.

- No, don't, please, he'll shoot me!

You nearly broke my f***ing shoulder,

mate.

- I was aiming for your head.

- Have you lost the plot?

Just open the curtains!

Get back, get back!

Get back.

Ooh!

Sh*t!

- Where's Mark?

- In the hall.

Oh, you're still with us, then?

That's a relief.

Talk to us, lads.

Someone's outside shooting us, man.

Got me f***ing bad.

I don't know why, man.

F***ing bollocks.

What the f***ing hell's

this sh*t, then, eh?

Eh?

Oh! Oh, f*** me, father!

Someone's trying to kill us all.

We dunno why

and we dunno who it is.

What about

the developer guy, Rawlins?

He's been trying

to get rid of us for ages.

No. No way.

The police are bound to suspect him.

- What if it is?

- I don't give a f*** who it is.

- It's probably a random psychopath.

- He's not crazy. He's well organised.

- He's taken out phones and internet.

- Also, the gun.

What do you mean?

It's really accurate, even with

the laser sight. It's military grade.

- They're hard to get and expensive.

- How expensive?

Given the accuracy and range, it's

something like the Heckler & Koch PSG1.

They go for ten grand.

All the top-level sniper rifles do.

- How do you know all this?

- I play Battlefield 3 online a lot.

Too bloody much.

It's training you how to be a killer

is what it's doing.

Maybe if we all make a run for it

out the main entrance,

maybe we could make it.

It's semi-automatic.

He'd get us in seconds.

Nice one. Innit just f***ing lovely to know

that we're all proper f***ed?

- So what do we do?

- We wait.

Until the police realise what's up.

Or until he goes away.

What if he doesn't go away?

What if he's gonna stay there...

till he's killed all of us?

I need a f***ing doctor!

Hang in there, OK?

We'll get help soon.

- We need to do something!

- Oi. Stay calm, OK?

Mark needs you.

Just stay with him.

- He needs help.

- I know.

We're gonna get out of here somehow.

Promise.

HeY-

Calm down, mate.

If we could figure out a way downstairs,

we could get out the back door

- and he'd never see us.

- That's a good idea. We should all go.

OK. You do that, then.

I'll be getting rat-arsed in here.

What? No, you can't!

- Hey. Hey, hey, hey! All right!

- Dick.

Kurtis, we're all working together now.

Nah, yous can do that.

I'll be having a piss-up.

Hey! We all pay you for protection!

- Yeah?

- Yeah. So protect us!

All right, you're not gonna do

anything stupid, are ya?

OK, yeah, I'll give you that one.

F***ing hell.

You're a f***ing b*tch, you are.

You're not in control anymore.

It's not our problem.

What about the lift?

There's usually a ladder in there.

- I'll try that.

- Me, too.
