in the field.

You're looking for

good penetration,

and well-tied knots

to deal with lacerations.

I'm using p17

sterilized nylon thread.

It doesn't knot as tightly,

but it goes straight

through skin like a dream.

What you wanna do

is go straight in,

like this.

This is Ken, say something

and I might call you back.

- Hello, Ken.

- Just checking in with you

vis--vis today's

business meeting.

If you can please just give me

a call when you get a minute

to let me know how it all went,

you have my number.

Thank you.

This is Ken, say something

and I might call you back.

- So how's your dad?

- Yesterday

they said he had hours,

today they think

he's a bit better.

Hey, listen, do you want

something to drink?

- Eh, no, no.

Water would be good, actually.

- Here you are.

I quit myjob.

Can't really face it anymore.

- I can give you money,

if you want.

- I'm not asking for money,

Harry. I just...

I just need to have something

else to do when dad's gone.

- Orla's father

had days to live.

Everything would change

when he was gone.

That's when I would stop.

Whatever money I had then

would be enough for us

to make a fresh start,

somewhere else.

This is Ken, say something

and I might call you back.

- Ken, this is Vernon stynes.

This is not satisfactory, Ken.

We had a verbal agreement

and I want my money.

- Oops.

- You wait here.

You're a sick f***er really,

aren't you, Vernon?

I thought you just designed

nice little websites.

- Anthony,

I've been looking for Ken.

- Don't worry about Ken.

- I have him under control.

- Oh thank god.

I need to see him now, Anthony.

- Calm down.

Lower your stupid voice

before you get a smack.

We have all the money.

- It's my money.

- You were always

such a nice boy.

What have you gone and invented?

- There's potential in this,

Anthony.

Easy money for less risk.

- Yeah?

- How does that work?

- Scaling up.

Delegate. Getting other people

to do the trading like Ken here:

Young, aggressive.

- And you want me

to be part of this?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Partners.

Let's go after a big trade.

- How big?

- Two hundred,

two hundred and fifty thousand.

Can you get hold of

that kind of money?

- If I get it, we can't lose it.

- No we shouldn't,

i mean, Ken's good.

- I don't give a f***

how good he is.

If I get it, we can't lose it.

- Yeah, okay.

- Well, look, leave it to me.

I'll set it up.

- Alright.

Get back to me when you

have something sorted out.

- What about my money?

- I thought we were

all in this together?

- Hi, Harry.

I've got something big

to tell you about.

It's a trade I've set up.

It's what I do now.

- Like an agent?

- Yeah.

I've already done one,

but I've got a huge one,

and I'm bringing it to you.

- Why are you bringing it to me?

- Two hundred grand, Harry,

that's why.

- F*** you.

- I'm not interested.

- Really?

I thought you and orla

would enjoy spending

that much money, Harry.

- Orla's not the type of

woman who's impressed

by money, Vernon.

- Does she know?

What's the point of doing it

if you're not going

to make real money?

You started with five grand.

Two more trades and

you're nearly a millionaire.

That's what trading is about.

Now maybe you don't

have two hundred grand...

- You know I do.

- One more, Harry.

One more, and you can walk away.

- With a cut for you, I suppose?

Mr. agent.

- Yeah, but just a small one.

- Alright.

- The forum listing is Ken,

just Ken.

- Vernon was wrong.

It wasn't seven

steps to a million.

You had to find trades

that led you to double up,

and big stakes

were hard to find.

Whoever Ken was,

wherever Vernon had found him,

well, that sort of money

would make it all worthwhile.

- What's going on?

Who's this?

- This is Ger.

Ger's a good pal of mine.

Aren't you, Ger?

- No-

I hate you, you bastard.

- He loves me really.

- Ah, I do.

- That's him.

That's Harry Fox.

- That bloke has two hundred

grand in that bag?

- Yeah.

He's the most successful

trader there is.

He was there

when I started it all.

- What the f*** are

we sitting here for?

Why don't we take it from him?

- Good thinking, Ger.

Why don't we just walk

into a pub full of witnesses,

shoot him,

and take all his money.

This fella has

covered his tracks.

He's happy to dig his own grave,

even write his own suicide note.

Now, do you think that we should

just let all that hard work

at avoiding detection

go to waste?

- You're telling me there's two

hundred grand in that bag?

And where did you get it?

- Trading.

- Really?

- Really.

- Show me.

- You're all business,

aren't you?

Just like the last fella!

You know, you're not as

impressive as I expected.

- I didn't know

you had any expectations.

- Ah, don't act all modest,

Mr. trader.

- I knew I had to

be careful with Ken.

He wasn't a real trader.

Someone else's money

was in that bag.

The journey was going to

take longer than usual.

- The first bus-one of

them picks a random number,

and then that will be

the number of stops

before they get off,

then another bus,

and the other person

picks a random number.

- Jesus, it'll take all day.

- You don't have anywhere

else to be, do you?

N'

- are you gonna do this

all day long, man?

So what way do you

wanna do this?

- Well, if you're not

going to dig,

we can start whenever you like.

- Nah, no, no, no, no,

I'll let you dig a bit more.

Or I could just stab you.

- You could.

- You've got a knife.

- You're a cocky f***er,

aren't you?

- Ah, c'mon.

You could be walking away

with my two hundred grand.

- No, I will be walking away

with your two hundred grand.

- What are you waiting for?

- F*** face.

Aah!

Help me!

Don't let him kill me!

Help!

Help!

- Who do you keep thinking

is going to help you?

- The fat English lad,

and the others.

You'd better f***ing run.

- It's not looking

too good for Ken.

- Harry is good.

He's won quite a few trades.

- It doesn't matter who wins.

- I figured if it came to it

and orla found the cash

she'd realize it was for her.

But I didn't think

it would come to that.

- Sorry about the door, Harry.

- Vernon.

Aren't you going

to introduce us?

- Anthony grogan.

I'm a business associate

of Vernon's.

Let's talk trading.

- Is this a shakedown?

- So what if it is?

We're shaking you down.

Big deal.

The trade you made today

was for a lot of money.

You can't keep all of it.

- That's not how it works.

Didn't Vernon

tell you the rules?

- Yeah, I did.

- He doesn't talk about

much else. Do you, Vernon?

Look, I know that you're

a great trader, Harry,

but you can't go on like this.

It's too risky.

We can set up trades

that are foolproof,

no way you can lose,

a team to back you up.

- This is what I was

telling you about, Harry.

Upscaling.

- We'll all be rich.

Isn't that a good thing?

- I'm already rich.

- You're not keeping

all that money.

- This is a good idea, Harry.

- It's working fine as it is,
