- What are the rest of us supposed to do?

- Sit tight.

Jeff, Kurtis, you come, too.

Jeff? He's just lost his wife.

I don't want Gary and Kurtis

getting any ideas.

Gary stays here.

Kurtis, come on!

How's your bollocks?

- It's not working.

- What's that?

I dunno. Local kids messing about?

- Can we get on with it?

- I'll get Dad's toolbox.

Stay away from the window!

There's plenty of screwdrivers.

Just one torch.

- Good thinking, Daniel.

- Get the f*** out of the way!

Come on!

- Come on!

- Yeah, just take it easy.

You take it easy! I wanna get out of here

and find the bastard that did this!

Give us the torch.

Stay back, everyone!

Stay back! Stay back!

What the f*** is going on?

Jeff's dead. Stay there!

Stay with Mark!

- Jesus Christ.

- There's someone in there!

- Kurtis. Oh, f***, it's high up.

- What are you doing?

No, there's nobody there.

It looks like some son of trap.

Sh*t!

Kurtis, careful!

Sh*t!

Motherf***er!

He could've planted them everywhere.

We'll just have to be

extra careful then, won't we?

Are we shifting him then or...

Let's put him with Amy.

One, two, three. Yeah? OK?

Hey. Be careful.

Jesus.

OK. Good.

- OK.

- That's it. Go on.

Bruv.

Don't leave me, man.

That's it.

I don't want you going in there again.

Do you understand? It's not safe!

Stop talking to me

like I'm stupid.

- I'll talk to you any way I like!

- Mum, please, stop it!

OK, those faces

are starting to creep me out now.

OK, get back. Watch out.

No! F***!

Locked. Off we pop, then.

- Er, aren't you forgetting something?

- Eh?

- What son of criminal are ya?

- Oh, piss off, you!

Righty tighty, lefty... loosey.

Come on, you f***ing thing!

- F***'s sake!

- Do you want me to help?

- Piss off, Paul!

- Right, OK.

Come on then,

you f***ing sh*t of a thing!

Paul, you do this. Wait, wait, wait.

Stand back, Kurt.

One.

Two.

Three!

Bastard!

Look, if we push at the same time,

we might be able to move it.

- Yeah?

- Come on. Count of three.

Come on!

OK? On three.

One, two, three.

F***ing hell!

' Keep Pushing!

- Nah.

- Keep pushing!

- Stop. This is impossible!

- Great! Just f***ing great!

Yeah, well worth it, that, wasn't it?

Probably worth Jeff's life.

- Stop it.

- Stop what?

Still, it's one less person to worry about.

- F*** you!

- F*** you, mate.

I didn't kill him, did I?

OK. OK.

Right, OK, so what do we do now?

We go back upstairs.

- How's your leg, Mark?

- It's f***ing agony, what do you think?

I'm gonna need some more pills.

- It ain't been four hours...

- Just give me the pills, man.

It says it on the label.

This is weird, isn't it?

Yeah. Weird.

And that's the end

of that conversation, yeah?

So what now?

There must be something we can do.

Probably is, yeah.

Just let us know when you work it out, eh?

- What about the roof?

- What about it?

If someone climbs down the back

of the building, the sniper won't see.

But how would they climb down,

this someone?

I don't know.

We could tie together lots of sheets.

I'm not doing it. Neither is Daniel.

We've suffered enough.

We've all suffered, all right, Carol?

We'll ask for volunteers.

Well, you can count me out

and all. Sheets?

They're never gonna hold

any f***er's weight, are they?

- We could use the fire hose.

- It's not long enough.

Tie them together.

They took them out of the other floors.

- They're down there.

- Great idea! This could work!

- Look at it. What if it rips?

- I don't think you'll get any volunteers.

- If it goes wrong, it's a massive drop.

- What other choice do we have?

This is ridiculous!

We haven't done anything!

- He's got to leave sometime.

- He's got going anywhere.

This isn't just some random attack.

All the planning, these pictures.

He's trying to tell us something

or teach us a lesson.

What does it mean, then?

See no evil.

Hear no evil. Speak no evil.

- The three wise monkeys.

- She's right.

What does that mean for us?

It's the boy who was killed here last year.

Nobody saw nothing,

heard nothing or said nothing.

We didn't help.

So nobody got arrested for his murder.

It's our fault.

God has come down to punish us

cos we let that boy die

and now it's our turn.

I tried to help.

I got the sh*t kicked out of me for it.

You wouldn't talk to the police.

None of us did. We are all to blame!

Jenny, what you doing?

My babies are up in heaven now.

I'm gonna go with them.

- Jenny, no!

- No, Jenny!

' Jenny!

- No! No! No! No!

- No, no, no.

No!

Oh, God. Come on.

God!

I suppose she couldn't cope

with losing her little ones.

Oh, don't start talking f***ing bollocks.

She couldn't care less.

She treated them like sh*t, mate.

What? I know you're all thinking it.

You f***ing hypocrites.

She desen/ed it.

She did. She desen/ed it.

For every time

she f***ing screamed at them,

smacked them,

left them on their own!

You don't do that to kids.

You just don't.

You do that then you get

what's coming to you, don't you?

So f*** it off!

It's dark.

Can't we just turn off the lights

and sneak out?

No, he's set all this up,

he'll have night-vision.

- You don't know that.

- Well, there's one way to find out.

He'll be expecting it.

He's waiting for us to slip up.

He's thought of f***ing everything.

Every last detail.

So what about these faces, lads?

There, look.

- Where?

- These faces, there.

They're all over the building

and specifically your door. Why?

- Dunno, they're just...

- Hey!

Look, man, we don't know anything.

- I dunno why they're on our door.

- They're just there!

- Yeah?

- Yeah!

- In the flat then, lads.

- What?

- In the flat. I want a word with ya.

- All right.

What, man? What?

Ah, f***!

Oi, what you doing?

- Drugs?

- Yeah, drugs. Call the pigs.

Just be careful.

Make sure you don't open the...

...cullains.

Some kid gets kicked in

out there, yeah?

And you two muppets suddenly disappear?

Am I losing my touch?

- Kurtis, it's not like that.

- Shut the f*** up.

I know those last few bunches

come up short.

Yeah. Selling it on the side, was yous?

Did he get in the middle?

So you kicked him in in your own f***ing

building? Have you lost the plot?

This is f***ing stupid!

Where you getting this from?

Come on, Kurtis, please!

- F***ing leave him alone! Come on, man!

- Oi, oi.

- F***ing hell!

- What you doing?

- Leave him alone!

- Tell me what the f*** happened now.

All right! He couldn't pay us

the money that he owed us.

So f*** it, we were just gonna beat him up,

scare him. We didn't mean to kill him.

You divvie c*nts!

Do you see what yous have

f***ing started, boys?

Sony, man!

Oh, my God.

It was those two!

They murdered that poor boy

in our own building?

If it's those two they want,

we should just give them to him.

- Hold on.

- No, no, we haven't done anything!

They should give themselves up

to save us!

Look, Kurtis, think. It can't be that, man.

Why would he wait so long?

I don't f***ing know. Planning.
