Just a little butterfly.
You know, Mary,
I half expect
it to flutter its wings
and fly straight out
of the window.
The Stahl Papillon,
in my own hands.
Extraordinary.
It doesn't look
strong enough
to carry
the weight of the stones.
In a piece like this
the materials are,
in a way, irrelevant.
It's what he was trying
to achieve,
the, the overall effect.
What would she
have said?
Have you bought your
tickets yet?
Yep.
I've got six weeks to go.
Your mind's made up then?
Yes, Charlie.
Better see to that
customer.
# Ooh, look at that
# Look at her walking
# Turning my head
Good afternoon, sir.
Where would you like me to
put this?
Don't worry, I got it.
That's the Leoville-Barton
'87 you ordered, sir.
Would you like me to open
that for you, sir?
Let it breathe?
Nah.
Mr. Morgan wonders whether
this may be appropriate
for your friend?
Cute.
Oh, for Mr. Morgan.
Tell him everything
is, um...
... awesome.
Appreciate it.
Thank you, sir.
Have a nice day, sir.
I've got a job for you.
Right, Mr. Morgan.
Mr. O'Sullivan in the Hyde
Park Suite
asked me to give you this,
Mr. Morgan, sir.
Got a guest in room 417.
Bought her son a watch for
his 21st birthday.
Now it's a little big, so
we need one link
taken out of the bracelet.
I need you to take it to
Clara's Antique Jewelers
on Bury Street
and ask for Charlie.
And you
tell him that I sent you.
Yes, Mr. Morgan.
Good afternoon,
gentlemen.
Good afternoon, Mrs. Lieberman.
I hope you're looking
after Sam, Mr. Morgan.
You know
he's my favorite.
He's mine
too, Mrs. Lieberman.
Concierge.
Ah Mr. Giles, do you mind
holding for just a moment?
You make sure that they do
it while you wait.
The guest needs
it back in her suite at 5:00.
So you get straight back
here, no delays.
Yes, Mr. Morgan.
Oh, and Smith...
I'm watching you.
Yes, Mr. Morgan.
Get going.
Smith... Straighten that
name badge.
Mr. Giles, thanks
for holding.
Yeah, I'm sure the house
doctor has informed you
that the guest had a fatal heart
att*ck earlier this afternoon.
How dare he die
in my hotel?
# Look at her walking
# Turning my head
# Taking my breath away
London.
Eight million of us all
with our own dreams.
A city
full of opportunity.
And for those whose dreams
come true,
there's no
better place to be.
Every whim can be indulged,
itch scratched
and desire catered for.
A few streets
where the wealthiest magpies
swoop for the brightest
and shiniest objects.
And, man, do I wish
I was part of that world.
Very nice.
What keeps me going on
days like today
is the thought that
when my dream comes true,
it'll be me ordering
room service
from my swanky hotel suite...
Me getting the girl.
Oh yeah, and me
remembering to tip properly.
I just need that one
piece of luck,
the sh*t at the title.
To know when opportunity
is knocking
and make sure I answer
the bloody door.
Just when I thought today
couldn't get any worse...
Radio London FM, 4:30,
cold and wet outside...
It's all there.
Cheers, pal.
It's 320 now, innit?
What are
you talking about?
We had a price,
You can't just slap on an
extra 33% just like that.
What do you mean
I can't?
I just did, didn't I?
Yesterday it was 240,
today it's 320.
Do you want them or what?
You know I can't leave
empty handed.
Yeah.
What you got there?
Two, four, six, eight...
We had a deal.
Yeah, well, that's the way
it goes innit?
Here ya
go, enjoy the show.
It's a blinder...
Good luck.
Ta-ta.
All right?
Yeah, great.
You're a sh*t negotiator.
Mm-hmm, it's lovely
to see you too.
Found us an investor yet?
The business plan is
nearly ready.
Did you call him?
Who?
You know who, I gave you
his card last week.
Did you call him?
I left a message.
Oh, okay.
That's why he asked me
today why you hadn't called.
Well I-- I'll call him
tomorrow... I've been busy.
No, I'm gonna call
him tomorrow.
He loves my food
and he's got money.
I can't wait for you
anymore, Sam.
It's like you're
scared to ask, take a chance.
Go and see some people
and ask them
to invest
in our restaurant.
But the business plan, it
needs to be rock solid,
it needs to be bulletproof.
You know how much work
I've done.
It's no good if no one
sees it.
I've got to make this
happen, with or without you.
We've been talking about this
since we were at school.
I know, I know...
It will happen.
"Vici."
What?
"Vici," a name for
the restaurant.
"Vici?"
Yeah.
Right, I'd better get
my skates on.
You eating?
Yeah I'll have
the special to go.
Hi, Elliot.
How are you?
Yeah, I'm cool.
You?
I'm starving.
Starving I can do.
The special is very good.
Wild mushroom risotto.
I've got one portion left.
Yes, please
I'll have that.
Oh well I just
ordered that.
Oh, sorry,
I didn't hear you.
You need to speak up.
Ask a bit louder.
Ha-ha.
Oh, sorry,
do you want that?
Not, it's okay,
you go ahead.
Thanks, mate.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Thanks.
That's a great watch.
Thanks... yeah, I mean,
I like it, it's...
We sold one just like
that yesterday.
Oh, really?
Can I have two double
espressos to go as well,
'cause Charlie's getting
cranky?
I need to caffeinate him.
You like this?
Yeah, love it.
Sorry, Mary, er, this
is my friend: Sam.
Hi, Sam.
How are you?
I'm okay... you?
They're playing in
town next week.
The band.
I always try and get
tickets, but they go in, like,
Do you work around here?
Yeah, I do,
I work in Clara.
It's an antique jewelry
store, just round the corner.
Right, yeah, I've heard
of it, yeah.
That's a beautiful bracelet.
Thank you.
It's-- it's from the shop.
You should
come and check it out.
Yeah, maybe I'll
do that.
What do you do, Sam?
I'm-- I'm in the, uh...
entertainment field.
That's exciting.
That's really that, yeah...
Which-- which part?
Well I'm more of a...
I'm an entertainment
fixer, really.
Eight pounds please, Mary.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Well, it was a pleasure to
meet you, Sam.
You have impeccable taste,
but I'd better get back to
my Lord and Master,
so I'll
see you boys.
See you.
Bye.
Amazing...
She is amazing.
Entertainment fixer.
All right,
I was nervous.
What's the story with
the watch then?
That looks real.
Yeah, it is,
it's a guest's.
Morgan sent me out to
get it altered.
Guess where?
Yeah, I like it.
Argh, screw you...
What was I meant to say?
"Oh, actually Mary I'm a
bag carrier
and general bitch
to the rich."
Nah, you wouldn't wanna tell
her the truth, would you?
Imagine if Morgan saw you
wearing that?
You want
something to eat?
No, I'm
not hungry anymore.
Must be love.
She's stunning.
Are you still around?
Right, well you owe me.
Yeah, I have
a special request.
I'm gonna do it,
you know.
I'm gonna ask her out.
Right.
Right.
Well, go on then.
Go and conquer.
Right, I bloody will.
Hi, I just got there,
Mr. Morgan.
I had to stop
and get something to eat.
I haven't had a chance
all day.
I'll be back
as soon as it's done.
Yeah.
sh*t.
So if you want something all you
have to do is ask, right?
What could
be more simple?
Good afternoon, sir.
Good afternoon.
Please.
Beautiful.
Flawless rose diamonds.
Commissioned in 1845
in Venice
and survived
the sinking of The Titanic.
Unlike its owner.
Stunning.
Are you looking for anyone
in particular, sir?
Uh, no, I'm
just, uh, browsing, thank you.
How much is this piece?
The necklace, sir?
430,000.
430, right.
Would you like to see it?
No, I'll just carry on
looking round if that's okay?
Of course.
Everything alright
Mrs. Lieberman?
Perfect, thank you,
Charlie.
Very good... Malcolm.
Hey, Charlie.
Hello.
You came to see us.
I did.
So anything catch
your eye?
Definitely.
Really?
Get the p...
the p... p...
The what?
Butterfly, the f*cking
butterfly... It's over there!
Get down...
Hands on your head.
Get out.
Get out!
Where do you think
you're going?
I said he can
go, we don't need him.
I'll be the judge
of that.
He set off the alarm.
Shut up!
Who exactly do you think you're
gonna sell that to?
No one's gonna
fence it for you, you know.
You really haven't thought
this through have you?
Bloody children.
It's like trying to steal
the bloody Mona Lisa!
Shut the f*ck up!
Everything's gonna be all
right, Mrs. Lieberman.
Right, let's go.
What the f*ck?
f*ck!
Freeze!
Come on, come on!
Shutters.
Shutters!!!
Top right of the door.
f*ck, f*ck!
Jesus...
Argh...
Argh, oh, God please.
Argh, f*ck!
They f*cking sh*t me!
They f*cking sh*t me!
Quit your moaning.
Keep an eye on
this lot.
It's gone
clean f*cking through.
I'm gonna pass out.
I feel sick.
f*ck... I need help,
Cameron.
What are we gonna do?
f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck.
I need to
go to hospital.
Is there a way out,
Cameron?
You know how this works
here right?
You don't want this to end
in tears, right?
How do we get out?
There isn't a way out.
Have you got the remotest
idea what you're doing?
I'm going
to sh**t you.
Go on then, son,
sh**t me!
Stop talking about it
and get on with it.
Stop it!
Ah!
They sh*t me,
Cameron.
Yeah, yeah, yeah... That's what
g*ns are for, Clegg.
Well, get us a towel
or something
before I bleed to death.
Yeah, alright, yeah, yeah, keep
your f*cking hair on.
Cameron and Clegg, are
you joking?
Do I look like I'm
f*cking joking?
This is the police.
Please evacuate the area.
They've k*lled
Mrs. Lieberman.
Why did I come in
here, why?
f*cking typical!
Idiot!
Game's up for these
two now.
What's with
the death wish?
These animals show up.
No respect.
k*ll an innocent woman.
My friend.
I know, I know.
Everything you're saying
is completely true,
but it's not
gonna help us right now.
Yeah, it's best if you
keep out of it.
Keep out of it.
Who are you to tell
me anything?
Shut up!
And keep it shut!
What's that for?
Somewhere a little
more private for our clients.
Hmmm.
Somewhere a little more private
for you three, eh?
'Cause you lot are getting
in my way.
Speak to them.
We've got hostages so
nothing silly.
What do we want?
F-f-f*cking useless I
should've left you outside.
I'm sorry.
This is all new to me.
Yeah.
This is
my first armed robbery.
You don't say.
This is my first g*n, I only
bought it yesterday
and it's just
bought me an extra ten years.
More like 20 you're an accessory
to those two, you know.
"Walk in the park,"
you said.
Keep your nerve.
You might need to use that
thing next time
because they certainly will.
I'm in
enough sh*t already.
Any names yet?
Do we know how many hostages
are in there?
Jesus, there's enough
of them.
Well they take these
things very seriously, Clegg.
Does it even bother ya?
Not particularly.
Well I don't wanna go back
to prison.
Well, you are.
Now shut up and let
me think.
Charlie.
Charlie don't.
Show some respect.
Shut up.
Show some respect, you
miserable cowards.
You can't
k*ll me, son.
I'm dead already.
Mad bastard.
I bought that vase for
Clara in Paris.
She used
to love flowers.
Excuse me.
Just so we're on the
same page.
I will sh**t
all of you if I need to.
I find it very easy.
Understand?
Yeah, yeah, we do.
What you looking at?
Nothing, nothing, I--
I just, I...
I just what?
I just thought you,
you sounded...
nothing.
You wanna watch it.
That kind of thinking will
get you into trouble.
Shall I tell them that
you're a bit busy?
Come on, Clegg, hurry up.
Gimme your phone.
Come on, hurry up.
Where's your phone?
I don't have one.
What, you never seen
one before?
No.
Right, get a move on.
You need to make a call.
Take control.
Private jet abroad?
You are f*cking with me.
Way too much TV.
Start with
a reduced sentence.
Negotiate.
Who am I talking to?
Well, Inspector Peyton
listen to what I gotta say
and no interruptions.
You got some thinking to
do because we won't be sending
anybody out of here in one piece
without good reason.
We've got
a number of hostages.
Yeah, you need to come back
with a plan
that gets us out of here
with a minimum inconvenience.
Three years would do us.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
you got an hour.
What do ya think of that?
Don't hold your breath.
It'll give them something
to think about,
but we need a plan B.
What's your plan?
Sorry?
You come in here all smash
and grab and it backfires.
So what's your backup plan?
You don't
have one do you?
Ooh, she's
got a te-- te-- temper.
Never you mind.
Just hope our plans
include you three.
No because we
have a right to know!
What are you gonna do with
Mrs. Lieberman's body?
She has relatives.
Stop it...
Stop asking them.
What do you think
you're possibly gonna achieve?
You're just gonna make
things worse.
Worse?
Please, enough.
Mary.
Maybe I won't sh**t you
though.
You may want to stick your
head in the sand...
I like to know what people are
planning to do with me.
Is that okay?
Come and sit down Mary.
Cameron, Cameron.
Cameron!
What?
Can you help me
find some painkillers?
Headache tablets, anything
for this f*cking pain.
Find something
to tie them up with.
Not exactly Vicodin, but it
might just take the edge off.
What about these?
Perfect.
False.
And about a foot thick.
I wonder where it goes to.
Or if there's a copper on
the other side with stethoscope.
You, come here.
What do you want
with him?
Never you mind.
I'll be fine.
What you doing?
Just keeping myself busy.
I've got an appointment at
seven to get my jabs done.
Do you think we'll be out
of here by then?
No, I don't.
Oh.
Are you going away?
Yeah, I'm um...
yeah, next month.
I'm going to India,
Thailand and Australia.
In that order.
That sounds good.
How long are you
going for?
I-- I dunno, I wasn't
really planning on coming back.
f*cking marvelous.
Oh, don't worry.
Everything's
gonna work out.
Is Charlie in the...
Where is Charlie?
I-- I'll find out.
Are you sure?
She was constantly looking
at what other shops were doing.
Learning what worked,
what didn't.
What do you want?
Mary was worried
about Charlie.
We're all
worried about Ch-Charlie.
Get on with it, will ya.
Well, she knew that we had
to work very hard
to make people
go that extra distance.
"God is in the detail,"
she said.
Everything
has to have a story.
Come on, hurry up!
Well, we were doing
very well.
So she designed a refit,
an expansion.
It was to enhance
the image, oh, May 1975.
Get to the point.
Well, we decided to expand
into here.
To create
some new office space.
And part of that expansion
was to move the old fire exit
from that wall there to
the corridor where it is now.
In between the false ceiling
and the existing one
is a gap that tracks
back to that fire exit.
And that door opens out
into a...
disused little courtyard.
Full of policemen!
That fire exit doesn't
exist on the plans.
And in that courtyard,
is a door that opens up
into an alleyway.
Yeah, which runs parallel
to the whole length
of Bury Street.
Take a right,
you come out on King Street
and you'll be on
your way.
He's right.
Hmmm.
He does have a use then.
You got any tools?
Well, only
those on the desk there,
they're tools of the trade,
hardly industrial.
That's our plan B then.
This all you got?
Jesus, good luck.
Can't help you on
this one.
Bollocks.
All right let's get back
and see what the inspector's
come up with.
Yeah, good luck.
Bag up some more of
them jewels,
now that we're not gonna be
hanging around much longer.
Those pieces will only draw
attention to yourself.
Let me
worry about that.
Go on.
Ow.
That you Inspector?
You know what we're
capable of.
I don't want your help.
I want what we
asked for!
We gonna be alright,
Charlie?
You bet we are.
It's simple enough...
Jesus!
Just get a move on!
They're f*cking with us,
Cameron!
The inspector's f*cking
with us!
I don't need a doctor!
Your wife.
She sounded pretty
amazing.
I don't want your help.
I want what we
asked for.
Stupid f*cking thing!
Come on.
You'd better get back to
us.
I'm not kidding you,
Inspector.
You know people generally
come in here
for something special.
Very special.
And expensive.
Horrible word "expensive."
Great thought went into
all of these things.
They're proclamations of love,
promises of eternity.
They're about the most
precious moments in life.
I bet the price tags in
here are pretty tasty though.
I didn't get your
name, son.
I'm Sam.
Sam Smith.
He's an
entertainment fixer.
You know each other?
We met in the cafe around
the corner about half an hour
before this happened.
And what exactly does
an entertainment fixer do, Sam?
More of a broker really.
I get clients for
entertainment events.
Sounds like a high flying
job for one so young.
That would explain what you were
doing in here of course,
checking out my tasty
price tags?
Yeah, well, Mary said
I should come
and check out the shop.
Yeah.
I bet you wish you hadn't
clapped eyes on me now.
Are you sure it was
my jewelry
you came to see
today, Sam?
Jesus Christ!
f*ck!
You really haven't thought
this through.
So what's your back up plan?
"Walk in the park," you said.
You don't have one do you?
You come in here all smash
and grab and it backfires...
Do we have to listen to
this old sh*t?
Surprisingly good taste
for psychopath.
Start with you then shall we?
Sam Smith.
Take your watch off.
And you, old, man take off
your watch.
You work at the Mandarin
Oriental?
Yeah, I guess.
You guess?
You know John Morgan?
Yeah, I work
for him.
Ah, well, John Morgan's...
John Morgan is a man
who can magic up tables
in exclusive restaurants out
of thin air.
Yeah, for a price.
I should think someone
like him is like gold dust.
He's sent some people in
my direction over the years.
I bet that cost you.
No... I don't need
John Morgan
to fill my shop up
with customers.
Are you any relation to
the Sam I met in the caf or...
Argh, look I exaggerated
little.
I'm sorry.
He's just ambitious, Mary.
They all are these days.
Just wanna make it big
without actually doing anything.
Ambition's fine I just--
I don't like liars.
I grew up with
a phoney, they don't change.
Ever.
Alright?
What do you think?
Can you help me here, Sam?
I'm a little confused.
That's a ten
grand watch on a kid
with a fifteen grand job?
Doesn't stack up, does it?
It's not my watch.
You're kidding?
Busted.
Classic... You're full of
absolute sh*t, aren't you?
Yeah.
Whose it
belong to then?
It's a guest's.
I was taking it to get
altered for them.
I knew it was one
of mine.
It's a beautiful example.
American lady, yes.
Sent by the same
John Morgan.
That's a nice watch.
Is that yours?
Very nice.
You like it?
Oh, it's lovely.
Oh, I suppose there's no
point in arguing is there?
It's a gift, you see.
Correct.
You have everything.
Happy now?
Yeah.
Ecstatic.
At least that watch
wasn't yours, Sam.
Yeah, right.
You obviously don't know
my boss very well then.
Could you tell me where
Sergeant Bryant is, please?
Just over there, sir.
Thank you.
Sergeant Bryant?
That's right.
John Morgan from
the Mandarin Oriental.
How can
I help you, sir?
Well, sergeant I know you
have a situation on your hands,
but I have some very
important guests
coming to the hotel for talks.
Now the traffic that this
has created
means that we
may miss them altogether.
Now the Deputy
Commissioner seems to think
you might be able to help
us out a little.
I can put you in touch
with their driver,
whose number is on my card.
Of course.
Er, just wait there for a
minute, sir.
I'll see what I can do okay?
Thank you, Sergeant.
And I thought you might
have come to see
how Sam was doing?
I'll take a portion of the
spaghetti pomodoro, please.
And I'll have it
to eat in.
So what were they after?
They came very specifically for
the Stahl Papillon.
A diamond butterfly
brooch.
Is that particularly special?
Napoleon had it made
for mistress.
Maria Theresa De Stahl.
It's stunning.
How much is it worth?
A million and change.
A million...
Pray for us sinners now
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace...
Why not let them go?
I mean everything in here
must be well insured.
If I knew somebody was
going to die I would have.
But it means more to me
than a check
from an
insurance company.
Yeah, but you were gonna
sell it anyway,
so what's the difference?
What's the difference?
Napoleon had it
commissioned in 1807
from a jewelry designer in
Paris named Charmier.
He showed him a portrait
of Maria Theresa
and asked him to create
something that would compliment
the dark green of
her eyes.
He loved her, you see.
It is exquisite
and flawless...
In every way.
The flutter of her heart
would cause
its wings to flutter
and fly away to freedom.
The collector sold it to me
because she knew
I'd find it every
bit as beautiful as she did.
Look after it for
a while
and keep
the story alive.
How long's that gonna
take you?
I don't know, why don't
you come and...
Okay, okay this is it, we've
gotta get out of here.
What?
Oh, Jesus.
Watch how much of that
you drink.
I don't want you
going all f*cking stupid.
All right, all right.
Yes.
Come on.
Ugh.
Sam!
Time to come in now.
I'll blow her f*cking
head off!
Oh, sh*t.
Come back in and put the
shutters down.
Clegg, what's going on
out there?
You were so lucky that was
me that found you.
If anything happens
again I will k*ll you.
What's going on?
Just a little bit of
misunderstanding.
Right.
No!
Hey, what's happened?
They've put a body out on
the street.
Any details?
A lady in her sixties
apparently.
Are you in the least
bit concerned?
Oh, yes, I am.
He's got a very expensive
watch on him
that belongs
to a guest of mine.
I'll have a coffee, please.
Filter.
Milk on the side.
You see what happens?
You see?
Now have we got
your attention, Inspector?
Well let's hope we can keep it.
The clock's ticking.
Don't force our hand again.
Don't even f*cking think
about it, Clegg.
Where are you from, Sam?
Camden.
Where abouts?
Jubilee Street.
I grew up on Clark Street.
You're kidding.
It's tough when you've got
nothing, I know.
Well you've got plenty now.
Have I?
You've just got to work out
what you want, Sam.
And if all you want is to
get enough
to come on
spending spree in here,
you've missed
the point son.
No, I don't--
I didn't.
That's not what it
was about.
Really?
Oh, forget it,
you're right.
I get out here, I need
to go to the loo.
What's going on?
Shh.
Cameron?
Are you okay?
Blessed art
thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now
and at the hour of
our death.
No, you... you leave
her where she is.
No, no, please...
No, please
You just leave her
where she is.
Get your hands off her.
Please leave...
I'm warning you, son.
No, please leave... no,
please, please...
You leave her alone!
Get off of her you bloody
mad bastard!
Violent piece of sh*t!
What are you doing?
Please leave me alone, please
leave me alone.
Sorry.
Please...
What are you doing?
Please.
I mean, you need her tied
up right?
That's the only way you'll
ever get that close.
Please, please, please, please.
Are you doing this 'cause
you can't string
a sentence together?
I mean, you can't get your
name out of your mouth.
Just can't get the words
out, can you?
How can you ever tell
woman how you feel?
You just can't get the
words out, can you?
That must make
you angry.
I'm sorry.
She's never gonna fall for
you, you're an imbecile.
Yeah, an imbecile.
Imbecile.
Imbecile.
No, stop it!
You can't do that.
It's wrong.
I'm gonna untie you, I'm gonna
let you go for a minute.
Sort yourself out, I'm sorry.
Sam.
Sam.
Sam.
That was really brave.
Yeah, my dad used to knock
my mum around
when he'd
had a skin full.
It's not right.
I mean we got rid of
him eventually,
but he's my dad,
you know?
You only get one.
I'm sorry about
that, Sam.
Do you think it'll be
better than here?
Where?
Wherever you're going.
Yeah.
I said no delays.
I don't wanna be
your friend.
Now tell me how long it's
gonna be before you
have something to offer us.
I don't care who you have
to speak to.
Look you know what'll be
coming out the front door
if this carries on,
don't ya?
You said that every piece
of jewelry in here
has its own story.
I'm bored of talking!
You lot only ever take
notice of crisis.
No, f*ck you!
One of us is gonna
get k*lled.
No, they're not gonna
k*ll anyone else.
If this is
a game of nerve, Inspector,
then, you got it wrong,
wrong, wrong!
f*cking wrong.
f*ck!
f*ck, f*ck!
So these stories...
clever marketing, you know.
They the way to spice
things up?
Add a bit of drama?
No, no,
not, not at all.
Well, let's hear one of
them then.
Tell me your favorite
story.
Okay, um...
Well, there's this
ruby piece
that has a pretty amazing
story to it.
I'm all ears.
Go on, Mary.
Tell it.
Well it's an exquisite
ruby and diamond bracelet.
And it was made in 1815.
f*ck off... f*ck!
f*cking hell!
We're waiting.
So, it's the early
and there's
this daughter, of a duke
and she is the most
beautiful girl, ever.
She's like a pin up.
I've got you.
And her father, the duke, he's
the most powerful man around
apart from the King.
So, in short...
she's a big catch,
and the suitors
are literally lining up,
all around the block.
The duke, he knows exactly
who he wants her to marry
and at first she's
all right with,
with dad's choice.
He's some young guy who's
probably lined up
to be a duke himself.
He would be, wouldn't he?
Of course.
Well one day, she's
introduced to his best friend
and he's not lined up to
be a duke or anything.
But they get talking, one
night at dinner round her place.
A banquet?
Quite right.
And all the boys, young
and old...
... get drunk as lords.
Of course they do.
But our guy...
he sits up and he talks to
the girl who's called Ruby
till it's light outside.
You know he, he listens
to her.
And he wants
to know about her life.
And he makes her laugh.
And she goes to bed
and she realizes for the
first time
that she has feelings
for a man
and she can't sleep,
because her heart is...
is b*ating.
"I am confused and
euphoric in equal measure."
That's what she wrote in
her diary.
Oh the, the men,
they're away the whole time
'cause they're fighting
the French.
And whenever her husband
is due to be home he always
seems to bring his best
friend back with him.
And so their relationship
develops
And he stays up to talk
with her 'til late.
And they go riding together.
Well, everybody just
thinks he's being a good sort.
The wedding date is set,
but a couple
of weeks beforehand
the men are called away
to Belgium.
To fight in the battle of...
Waterloo.
Waterloo.
Exactly.
And the night before they go.
The best friend and Ruby
they have a--
a few moments together.
And he tells her he's just
in love with her.
But he can never be with her
because he can't betray
his best friend.
And he says he wishes her
nothing but happiness.
And then he kisses
her goodbye.
And he holds
her for just a moment.
Man, that's tough.
It's tragic.
So wait for this.
At waterloo...
well, the men they're fighting
hand to hand.
And the duke,
the young duke,
he's about to be put to
the sword
when his
best friend saves him,
but he's k*lled in
the process.
Isn't that amazing?
You see he could have
come home.
He could have come home and
rightfully claimed Ruby's hand,
But he chose instead to
save the life of his friend
and give his own life.
It's just amazing.
Well, what about the
bracelet?
You may well ask.
Two days after she heard
about the death
and how he
saved her husband to be.
Parcel arrives...
and it's the bracelet.
From the best friend.
From the man that
she loved.
Wow.
A couple of weeks after
the wedding.
Ruby's wearing the bracelet.
It's this bracelet.
And she realizes there's
an inscription
on the inside of the band.
What did it say?
It says "For Ruby..."
"... for love..."
"... forever."
Isn't that beautiful?
Yeah, It is.
I think it's just
heartbreaking story.
Charlie ruined it for me
a couple of months before
by telling me that
the young duke,
he brought something back
from Belgium himself.
Namely chronic syphilis.
But I choose not to
include that in my version.
Having fun?
Oh, Jesus.
Not again leave
her alone.
Please, you can take
anything but not that.
Please, you can take
anything.
Please, don't take that.
No, please.
What can I say?
I'm a... magpie.
It's only a bracelet.
It was much more than
that, Charlie.
I know.
They said they'd call
us, right?
How are you gonna get me
up through the ceiling?
Hey, fellas.
Argh, not you again.
What is it?
Can I suggest that we
order some medical supplies?
And while we're at it, I
don't know about anyone
else but I'm starving.
Ah, what do you fancy?
Chinese, Thai, maybe a pizza?
Well, now you
come to ask, there's a place
just around the corner that
does the best
and I mean the very best pasta.
Are you serious?
Ask for the mushroom
risotto... It's today's special.
Oh really, Mushroom Risotto?
Oh, it's wild mushroom,
actually.
Oh, I'm sorry.
f*cking risotto.
Good.
I'm starving, let's order.
Whatever makes you happy
Cameron.
Mushroom risotto.
Good work.
Good work, Sam.
You handled that
very well.
Yeah, don't sound too surprised.
Could you really eat
something right now?
Yeah.
Best thing to do is eat
yourself out of a crisis.
That's a very feminine
thing to do.
Yeah, well, I like to think
that it lurks within me.
Four portions of wild
mushroom risotto.
One portion
of spaghetti pomodoro
and throw in some bread,
salad and plenty of water.
Er, nothing.
It'll be my pleasure, Officer.
It's a good sign isn't it?
They're hungry.
Excuse me.
What do you want?
Er, I need to use
the lavatory.
That'll have to wait.
Well, if it wasn't urgent
I wouldn't be asking.
Jesus.
You take him.
Or you could untie us.
Charlie could take care
of himself
and you have to
untie us soon to let us eat.
Any trouble you can
blame me.
Not blame you.
sh**t you.
Okay hold it in.
You'll have to wait until we've
finished this call.
You sorted it?
It's very simple, Inspector.
Have you sorted it?
Then you better find the
Home Secretary hadn't you?
I swear that sounded
like compliment.
It's not my problem.
You be careful with
those all right?
Thanks.
Right off you go, no
funny business.
Thank you.
He's having a rough time.
He was with Clara for
forty-five years
and he's having
to learn how to be alone.
And it's not easy.
You just saved him his
dignity though.
Well I was thinking more
about us,
sitting next to him for the next
twelve hours to be honest.
Well, let's hope it
doesn't go on
for another 12 hours, eh?
Amen to that.
What?
Nothing.
I know you, Sam Smith.
And I know you know me.
If you say a word or show
in any way that you know me
I'll k*ll you, understand?
I don't know what you mean.
You heard me.
One word or a nod or anything
else and I will k*ll you
because you'll be
a witness
and if I don't he
certainly will.
I don't know you.
Don't try me.
Grub's up!
"Vici!"
Thanks, Officer.
"Vici."
Yeah, damn right, "Vici."
Right, what did you
just say?
I said, "Vici."
"Vici," what the f*ck
is that?
It was to let my best
friend know I was all right.
He works at the caf just
around the corner.
It's just a saying we had.
I'm watching you, Sam.
These pills better work.
Oh, God.
Argh, that ain't right.
Now that...
that is something else.
How you two can even think
about eating anything now
is beyond me.
Well, a very good risotto
is a very rare thing and this...
... makes the heart sing.
Yeah, the chef's a
talented boy.
What, you know who
cooked this?
Yeah, my oldest friend.
What the kid in the coffee
shop round the corner?
Yeah, my brother Elliot.
Mmm, he's good.
Mm-hmm.
You know Elliot and I...
we always had
this dream that we'd set up
a restaurant together.
You know, simple Italian
but just getting
the basics to be brilliant.
He's always
wanted to be a chef
and I've always been interested
in the business side.
That's why I started
working at the hotel.
Get some experience, see
what works and what doesn't.
Oh, yeah, that's, that's
something isn't it?
That is delicious.
When we were at school, I
mean Elliot got this
obsession with cooking.
I mean, it gave the
bullies some amm*nit*on
but he just loved to cook.
Elliot just understands
the chemistry.
You know, how to put
things together.
Doesn't he just.
It's about getting the
whole thing right, the concept,
simple daily menu with
seasonal ingredients.
It's about getting the
pricing right, location right.
About giving Elliot the best
possible chance
to make his dreams come true.
Your dream too Sam.
It's all about the
detail Charlie.
Isn't it just?
You've done a lot of work on
your mate's dream, haven't you?
This Elliot is he a Camden boy, too?
Yep, born two days after
me, two floors below me.
Ah, ha-ha.
Hot bed of talent, eh, Mary?
When I was--
when I was 12,
my mum, she couldn't
cope so she--
she left
me with Elliot's mum.
And she sort of became
my mum.
I'm no doctor but I'll try
and clean this up a bit.
Can I ask you where she
went Sam?
Ah yeah, Australia.
And have you heard from
her since?
No.
Let me see.
Oh, thank you.
You know Sam...
I reckon we're more alike
than you'd like to think.
Yeah, well I wish I was a
little more successful...
like you.
In time.
I think he's got a good heart,
don't you, Mary?
I don't know.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
You know Mary...
You've always been there
for me.
You're a wonderful girl.
I'm gonna miss you very
much when you go.
I never tried to stop you
because otherwise I,
an old man just... getting
in your way.
Charlie.
You should, er, you should
ask Mary out you know, Sam.
Really?
Yeah, get to know her a
little, before she takes off.
No.
Okay.
I get the picture.
I'm gonna stretch my legs.
What's up with you?
I know you're part of all this.
What?
I heard you, Sam.
You know Clegg, Clegg
knows you.
Shh... Alright, please
be quiet.
Of course I don't know him.
Well, then why would he
say that he did know you?
And why would he try to
let you go
when they first got in here?
They've put you in here as
plant haven't they?
So if they get arrested
the jewels get out anyway.
It's very clever.
Look you're gonna get
us k*lled.
He said to me he knows me
and I know him,
but if I mention
another word he'd k*ll me.
I'm begging you, please
be quiet.
I saw you put the brooch
in your pocket.
Yeah, I picked it up to
keep it safe for Charlie,
I know how much
it means to him
and I wouldn't put it past
those nutcases
to smash it to pieces.
You've got me all wrong.
Why would my face look
like this
if I was a part of it all?
Because it's very
convincing to the police.
Argh, you've got to
believe me, Mary.
Why?
Why would I ever
believe you?
What were you even doing
in here in the first place?
You're a f*cking liar.
To see you, okay, to ask you
out on a date.
Okay, I got tickets for
the gig next week.
The song you were
whistling to in the caf.
I got tickets to see them.
I wanted to see if
you'd come with me.
Oh, what, you magicked up
two tickets in the few minutes
that you actually had.
I'm begging you please
believe me.
I am not lying.
And I wanna live long
enough to maybe take you.
How did you get
the tickets?
Entertainment fixer remember--
Now please shut up.
What's with
all the whispering?
I was scared.
And I wanted reassuring.
What did you tell
her, Sam?
I'd like to know because
I'm a bit scared, too?
I told her that everything
would be all right...
and to believe
me when I told her that.
Ah, well, thank God, it's
gonna be alright.
'Cause there was
me getting all worried.
Promise me you won't
say anything.
Well, it's not just you
that likes them anyway.
I mean, I like them,
I woulda got the tickets anyway.
Yeah?
Yeah, I'm a big fan.
Really?
# There goes my hero
# Watch him as he goes
See?
That was awful.
You deserve to be sh*t.
Fair enough.
I'm gonna trust
you because I have to.
Come over here and I'll
have a look at that
thick head of yours.
Lying bastard.
f*ck!
Oh, dear.
What?
I think I may have misled
Mr. Cameron somewhat.
Oh, great.
I'm gonna
k*ll someone now.
Someone is about to die.
Papillon.
Papillon.
Papillon, papillon.
Papillon.
I am coming to sh**t someone.
Inspector.
You have failed to deliver
and I am
bored, bored, bored
with your delaying tactics.
You have precisely five
minutes from the end
of this phone call to
come back with a firm
and acceptable offer
or someone else will die.
Goodbye.
And they're off.
What's up Clegg, eh?
Cat got your tongue?
What are you thinking?
Enough bloody thinking.
Time for some doing.
You obviously all heard my
short conversation
with the inspector.
If they don't
come back with something
in the next five minutes
I'm gonna sh**t one of you.
And just so you have a few
minutes to prepare yourselves
It'll be you!
No!
No take me... I'm the one
that lied to you.
Too easy.
You're gonna live to see the
consequences of your actions.
Do you believe
me now?
Yes.
You shouldn't go away.
Why not?
'Cause being on your own
somewhere else
wont make it any better.
Why are you saying this now?
Because I think if you
found someone you could trust
you would stop running.
I took a chance today,
you should too.
How long have I got, Charlie?
About three minutes,
I think.
sh*t.
Yes, Inspector?
Wrong answer, Inspector.
Wrong answer.
Get up.
No, take me.
Don't you worry, I'm sure
we'll get round to you,
but right now this mocking
imbecile's time has come.
On your feet now!
Get off
him, you bastard!
Oh, my God!
Move!
Go on, sh**t me,
you bastard.
Up against the wall.
You know what'll happen,
don't you?
Enlighten me.
You sh**t me and they'll come
in and sh**t the pair of you.
Oh, really?
They didn't exactly
send in the cavalry
when they thought she was
popped did they?
Well what
about the negotiation?
Negotiation... how many of
those pills did you take?
I'll make it quick.
No, stop it Cameron!
On your knees!
Stop it,
let him go!
Look, we need to talk
this through.
What, with you?
Go on, sh**t me, you
psycho bastard!
On your knees or I will
sh**t you where you stand.
Stop it!
You can't k*ll him.
I can't let this happen.
It's just wrong.
Wrong?
You're not gonna sh**t anyone
you dopey cr*pple.
Watch me.
See... I took
all the b*ll*ts out.
Now... stay down.
I suppose you'll be wanting
this then?
You bastard!
Great f*cking disguise,
Carl.
You alright, Sam?
Carl...
Who's Carl?
Carl Thomas.
Elliot and I were at
school with him.
He was like
the school psycho.
Terrorized us.
Will you put in a good
word for me, Sam?
Are you kidding me?
Hello.
Oh, hello, Inspector.
Yeah, it no--
it's over.
Yes, this is Charlie.
Charlie Morgan.
Morgan?
How's that then?
It's delicious.
How are you?
It's been quite day.
I know all about your idea
for the restaurant.
Oh, yeah?
It'll probably always just
be an idea, but...
There you go.
He really admires you,
you know.
Sam.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Jesus, man, what?
How did that go?
I gave mitigating evidence
for Carl Thomas.
Son of bitch.
Can you believe I tried
to help him?
They should throw away
the keys, man.
Carl Thomas.
What a f*ck-up.
Want something to eat?
I got to eat
the mushroom risotto.
I had to be taken hostage
but I got to eat it.
And...?
Lovely, lovely.
I've got room for
something else.
Yeah, well, you sit there
and I'll fetch you something.
Well, there's a thing.
Smith.
Mr. Morgan.
You got something
for me?
You were
there for five hours
and you still couldn't manage
to get the bracelet altered?
But Mr. Morgan, I don't
know if you know,
I got caught in a heist
this afternoon.
Well, if you'd have gone
straight to the shop as I asked
you'd have got the watch
back on time.
As it is, I have a guest
that is most unhappy.
I'm going to have to let
you go, Smith.
Are you serious?
Yes.
I am.
Thanks, John.
Give me five minutes?
Sure.
Shouldn't you be lying
down or something?
You cheeky bugger.
What's that?
That is pumpkin tortellini
in tomato sauce.
You like
the look of it?
If it's anything like
the risotto
it's gonna
be all right isn't it?
It's every bit as good.
Oh, thank you.
So he tells me you're a
great cook, Elliot.
I try.
My word.
Delicious.
Thanks.
So have you got a
name for this
restaurant of yours then?
Yeah, "Vici."
"Vici?"
"Vici."
Yeah, I like it.
I came, I saw...
Yeah, I know what "vici"
means, Sam.
Well, you're brother
sacked me.
He bloody sacked me.
Well, it depends how you
see it, Sam.
You could argue that he
just set you free.
Yeah.
You know, that I told you
that my wife
was the clever one?
Yeah.
When she believed in
something, she,
she went for it.
Like when this street
took off.
She put all of our profits
into buying more property.
Like this place.
You get me the budget
by Monday...
And it makes sense to
my accountant.
And you...
better be as good as
he says because I want
a handsome return on
my investment.
Are you serious?
Deadly.
For you.
We're all gonna miss
you, Mary.
I can't.
You tell that story far
better than I do.
That's because I've heard
you tell it a hundred times.
Charlie?
Hmm?
Would you mind if I stick
around for a while?
Not at all.
I'll see you bright and
early in the morning.
There's a lot to get
on with.
Yeah, and I want 51% of
the business.
You're on.
Amazing.
Tell you what though?
What?
You're a sh*t negotiator.
You all right, Charlie?
Yeah.
Yeah, I am all right,
Johnny.
I'm all right.
Good.
Have you still got
the tickets to the concert?
Yeah.
Ask me.
