Go, go, go, go, go, go!

[tires squealing]

This is bigger than we think.

If we want to be
in the big time,

then we've gotta stop
letting them treat us

like baggage handlers.

[dramatic music]

You seemed pretty happy
coming down the street then.




What was that for?

I felt like it.

Tell me
what the f*ck's going on.

Who are we really working for?

When Dominic McGraw
took over my operation,

it was Eton who shut me down.

The McGraws have
guaranteed safety.




Hi.



Hi.

Pack a suitcase.

Tomorrow you will have
all your answers.



[dark music]



Nah this one, me mother's
mother used to make.

East End delicacy.

It's one of the things
I miss about home.

[tense music]

It won't be too long.

There's a lot riding
on those two boys, Ted.

They've passed muster.

So far.



We have to be tight.



When the time comes,
McGraw's coming for us

with everything he's got.

The McGraws are quite
preoccupied at the moment.

[muffled shouting]
Argh!



He won't see it coming.

I never saw it coming.

Your boys better be
up to it, Teddy.



I'm ready to go home.

Gal.

♪ Was he

Hey, what's going on with ya?

Just thinking.

There's a waterfall
in the bathroom.

A waterfall.

I had me a piss
in the waterfall.

[laughs] You believe that?

[ice clinking]

Gal.

Ah.

Cheers.

You all right, Gal?

Of course.

You got that same look
the whole flight.

You stared off into space.

I'm loving the sun, Don.

Ted didn't say nothing else?

Nothing at all?

I told you everything.

He promised
he'd let us in on the plan.

There he is.

Bloody hell,
that's him, all right.

f*ck me.

Gentlemen,
let me introduce Roger Riley.

I know you must be wondering
what all this is about.

In fact, it's my understanding

that you've been
demanding answers.

Well, I figured
you'd have done the same thing.

I might have handled it
a bit differently.

You got balls, though.

I'll give you that.

So listen, boys.

Me and Roger,
we got some business.

Why don't you two go
and check out the town,

have a drink or two?

I'll see you back here
half past six--

dinner fit for a king.

All will be revealed.

This is your moment, boys.

The big time.

Don't f*ck it up.

I've told you about Teddy.

I've told ya.
- You were right.

You were right.
How many times I got to say it?

You were right.
- Yeah, you happy now?

You happy?
- I'm happy. I'm happy.

- Yeah. Cheers.
- [laughs] Cheers.

f*ck's sake.



Yeah.
- Yeah.

You know that they say

Roger m*rder*d Clayton Meed
in the '80s?

Hmm.

Cut him in half
with a Samurai sword.

Yeah,
and I've heard a lot worse.

You think he's gonna
tell us what job?

Maybe like the Brink's-Mat
robbery or bigger--

much, much bigger.

Well, whatever it is,
you can bet

there'll be a lot of planning.

Preparation,
preparation, preparation.

That's how we stay
out of prison.



all: ♪ Papa loves mambo

♪ Papa loves mambo

It's quite nice, isn't it?

What, her bum?

No, this, right?

This place.

Yeah, sure, I suppose,
for what it is--

foreign.

They speak funny.

Well, I could get
used to this.

I can see myself living here.

Oh, yeah, yeah, right, sure.

We can walk to town
in our Speedos.

We'll get a flat
with matching sinks

like a couple of poofs
on holiday.

We'll hold hands.

Maybe we should share
a watermelon salad.

f*ck off.

f*ck's sake.

Let's go have a look around.

Spanish f*cking--

Spanish this, Spanish that.

- Look at this place.
- f*cking music!

It's amazing.

It's not like the East End
f*cking place--

grimy, gray, sooty.

Where's this coming from?

It's fa--look at this guy.
Look at this guy.

Right, mate.

Do you--would you--

could you play, uh--
could you play "La Bamba"?

Play "La Bamba."
You play that one?

Oh, I love this one.

Wait. Can I have it?
El hato. El hato.

I--oh.

Don't wear his f*cking hat.

You don't know where he's been.

I feel sick.

Put it on, mate.
Put it on. Put it on.

f*cking don't put it on me,
you c**t! f*cking stinks.

Oh, come on, cheer up.

It's too small for you.

Perfect.

What?

It's just that's
the second time you said that.

- What?
- About leaving Britain.

You're not a f*cking Spaniard.

You don't kid yourself.

You look like a silly ponce.
- Mate, what?

Come on.

Hey!
- Give him it back.

That's his hat!

Disrespectful.

Sorry, mate.

Sorry.

Thank--gracias.

Thank you.

What you think we're gonna do,

get our house in Rotherhithe,

build a garden together--
together? That's you!

There's something going on
in that head of yours.

Not this again, Don.

Not what again?

Oh.

[soft guitar music]



Do you think that one night
can change your whole life?

Is this about the job?

No.

No?

Then what? What?

Tell me.
- Nothing. Nothing. Calm down.

I've been thinking
about this.

Mate, what?

If you had nothing to hide,

you'd just say,
"f*ck off, Don."

Okay, f*ck off, Don.

No, you didn't do that, no.

You just give me
that stupid face

that you do, like the time
you and Aitch left me in Dover.

What are you talking about?

You're hiding something, and
you're hiding something now.

Me and Aitch
just met some girls.

- Ah, no.
- There was two of them, mate.

Now the truth comes out.
I knew it.

I knew it. I knew it!

Stop it!
- Oi, watch.

Just quiet down.

I will not be quiet.

You are driving me crazy.

I'm driving you crazy?

No, you're driving me
crazy, Gal.

No problemo.
No problemo, señor.

No, there is a very big
problem, Gal.

A ver--don't f*cking touch me.

Stop it. I'm putting it down.

If someone's
driving someone crazy,

it's you driving me crazy,
not me driving you crazy.

"Get a house, build a garden."
- [speaking Spanish]

f*cking--
don't f*cking touch me!

Everything's all right.
Everything's all right.

I bring you in on this thing,

and you're not telling me something.

- I'm sorry.
- Is it me?

Is that the change
you want to make?

- What are you talking about?
- [speaking Spanish]

We're supposed to be
partners, Gal.

Now's not the time
for this.

No, you treat me
like a c**t--a c**t!

I'm not treating you
like a c**t.

I'm not doing anything.

And I know Roger Riley.

Riley?

They are with that
assh*le Riley!


Yeah, 'cause of me.

[horn honking]

f*ck off!

[horn honking]

Don't f*cking touch me, c**t.

What are you saying?

He's gonna go nuts
if you do it like that.

[horn honking]
- [speaking Spanish]

You like that?

Don! Don, come on!

f*cking move.
- Which way?

Run!
Right! Right! Yeah!

[whistle blasting]



No, wait!
Hey!

Hey, hey!

- f*cking stop it!
- Wait. Wait.

Come on.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

[siren wailing]

[indistinct chatter]

Suppose this is all my fault.

Oh, well, I dunno,
maybe if you hadn't

started screaming at me
in the street for no reason,

then resisting arrest,

then shouting
at that police officer,

head-butting him in the face,

maybe then we'd be sitting
by the pool, yeah.

Not to mention
the fact you said

Roger Riley's name
to that policeman!

Could be the stupidest thing
you've ever done.

Yeah, well,
that wasn't right.

I shouldn't have done that.

Big mouth, Don, big mouth.

Well, at least I'm
talking to you now.

I don't know what's going on
in that head of yours.

You're the one who wanted
to come down here,

demanding answers,
all about this statue.

I was happy just going on
about things, but not you.

No, you needed answers.

So we're here now,
and where's your head?

[tense music]

- Hi.
- Hi.




Looking to take a class?

Well, I was thinking
about it.

Thought I'd look good
in one of them leopard-tards.

Leotards.

Oh, that--that, too.

You're a little far
from the East End.

Oh, I've been all over.

I went to Peckham once.

We never really
went uptown much,

except for maybe--
maybe at Christmas,

like to see the lights,
drive by Harrods,

see the window display.

- Yeah, us, too.
- Yeah.

Yeah, but you went in.

Well, when my dad had
a good year at work,

yeah, sometimes.

[soft music]

You don't see 'em much.



Well, I see my family too much.

I'm not sure which is worse.

[laughs]

Let me take a s*ab at this.

You've got a lot of friends.

You pay your parents' bills.

You make your mum laugh.

Neighborhood smiles
when you walk by.



Yeah, something like that.

Yeah, I was the favorite too,
at least for a while.

Now I don't think they ever
want me in their house again.



What would happen
if you just showed up?

What?

What would they do
if you just showed up

at the house,
showed up for Sunday dinner?



I dunno.

You should go.

What?

You should go.

Well, why did you say that?

Because then you'll know
how they'll treat you,

you know,
you won't have to wonder.



I just think that
you can only run for so long

before it becomes hiding.



And you don't know.
You just don't know.

Maybe they'll surprise you.

What?
Look, I'm sorry.

I should mind my own business.

No,
I just didn't expect that.



Have you got some time?

I'd really like
to show you something.


[bus bell dinging]

[bell ringing]

[engine rumbling]

Amigo.

Amigo!

What--what time's
the next bus back to town?

What?

Speak English, padre?
- No.

No?

What time is the next bus
back to town?

- [speaking Spanish]
- Two--two minutes?

[speaking Spanish]

Two hours?

[speaking Spanish]

f*ck.

Where you going?

For a pint.

Next bus ain't for another
f*cking two hours.

We'll get a taxi then,

get the f*ck back
before dinner.

[siren wailing]

[tense music]



Cheers.

I've laid out
some local flavors.



[horns honking]



[tires screeching]

Hey!

He says he's looking
for two associates

of Mr. Riley, Englishmen.

What are they wanted for?

[speaking Spanish]

They att*cked
two police officers.

[speaking Spanish]

And they said
they were staying here.

[tense music]



Um...

[scoffs]

[bus rumbling]

It's getting close
to dinnertime.

Probably looking for us by now.

We'll get there.

Where is this taxi?

Should be getting back.
Teddy wants us there.

But the guy said 40 minutes.

It's been like 20.

It should be here.

If this was London,
it'd be here already.

[indistinct singing on radio]



[speaking Spanish]

Mm.

What?

I need to talk to you
about something.

Oh, finally.

I'm all ears.

Your sister came to see me
the other night.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

And she had
a few things to say.

And you didn't tell me?

Well, I'm telling you now.

She wants us to do...

well, what she wants.

That might not be
what's best for us.

Let me ask you something, Gal.

What's your sister
ever done for us, hmm?

Nothing but maybe start
a lot of trouble.

Least my sister's done something.

- Don't be that way.
- What way?

What way am I being?

Right, then, well,
I'm sorry I brought that up.

Not as sorry as I am, Gal.

Not as sorry as I am.

Let me tell you something
about my--

[glass shattering]

What the f*ck?

[children yelling in Spanish]

Come on.

Let's play a little
while we wait.

Come on. Here we go.

Here.

f*cking--oh. He's got me.

Come on. Where's the goal?

Where's the goal?
[all shouting]

[siren wailing]

[indistinct chatter]

Don! Don!
- What?

f*ck.
- Meet me at the church.

Yeah. f*cking hell.

[singing in Spanish]



[siren wailing]



[speaking Spanish]



f*ck off!

[dogs barking]

f*ck.



f*ck off!

[dogs barking]

Back!

[dog growling]

Ahh!



Ahh! No!

f*ck!



No!

[dog yelping]





[siren wailing]

Any word from our
wayward travelers?

No, sir, but dinner
will be served very soon.

All right.

[tense music]



[keypad beeping]



[line ringing]

Hello?

It's me.

I missed you.

You don't sound right.

I had a bit of a row.

Needed a taste of you.

I wish I was touching you
right now, my love.



What are you wearing?

My black lingerie set.

The one that you bought me.

Take your bra off.

As you wish.

Put your hand
down your trousers.


Tell me what you feel.

Put my hand
down my trousers?

Now you're being naughty.



Anything else, sir?



Stay awhile.



[soft guitar music]



I'd like to go
somewhere far away,


live a full life,

do some dancing,
not wind up like my parents.




Is this what you wanted
to show me, a fish?

Well, it's more than that.

Oh, yeah?
What is it?

Well, it's an actual shark
floating in the air.



Something, isn't it?

[sucks teeth]

Right.

Quite a lot to see
outside the East End, I guess.



I want to see
the whole world.

f*cking conquer it.



Come on.

[crickets chirping]



Mate!

Hello, hello. Mate.

[speaking Spanish]

I am lost.

I'm lost.

I need to find a church,
a white church.



Uh...

Oh, right, you know it.

All right.



Gal?

Gal, where are you?

Here we are.

[tense music]



Hello?

Wait, no, mate. Church.

No.



Mate.



Mate, mate, what--come on.

I'm--I'm lost. I'm lost.

We go.

f*cking hell.

[both laughing]



[speaking Spanish]

f*cking hell.

f*ck, that has got
a kick to it.

That has got a kick to it.

[laughter]



Mum...



I didn't like living
with Uncle Ernie.

But Cecilia fixed that.

I still see Gal, my best mate.

You never met him,
but he's all right.

There's something going on
with him at the moment,


but I ain't sure what.

Well, I don't remember much.

That drink's something else,
isn't it?

Mm.

Tell me,
what do you care about?

You care about me, Teddy?

Now Roger Riley?

Suppose that that's why
you weren't in a rush

to get back there--
you don't care.

Don't care about England.

Don't care about Marjorie.

What the f*ck
you on about now?

Of course
I care about Marjorie.

Is that why
you was on the beach

snogging that bird
next to her husband?

You got some f*cking nerve,
ain't cha!

I've 'ad enough of this.

What was that sh*t
you said about my sister?

What?

My sister, before you said,
and I quote, "f*ck her."

Just trying to help ya.

That's not the kind
of help I want.

Didn't ask for it.
Don't need it.

But what I do need
is for you to tell me

what the f*ck
is going on with you!

Tell me. Tell me.

Are you feeling
what I'm feeling?


Tell me.

[soft music]

Yeah, I am...



And I'll remember this night
for a long time.

[laughs]



It's a new day.

Mm-hmm, I guess.



Well, I've got
the sneaking suspicion

that my life's never gonna be
the same again.



This was fun,

but our lives are on
different paths.

Meaning what?



That things end here.



Just like that?

Afraid so.



Why?

Because I like you.

I can assure you,
you're not ready for the storm

that will come
if you get involved with me.

Maybe a storm is
just what I need.



Well, you have to figure
that out for yourself.



When it's not a maybe...

come find me.



What, the one
from the nudie movies?

Her name's Deedee.

f*ck's sake.

I just--I don't know, Don.

Just--I've never felt
like this.

Like what?

Confused.

What are you gonna do,

leave us all behind?

What about me, Gal?

What about you?

Your friends, your family?

Are you gonna leave us
for some filthy whore?

You f*cking c**t!

f*cking come here!

What you doing, you prick!

Just f*cking--Don.
Argh, argh. Argh.

[grunting]

You cunnnrghhhh!

You c**t!

You little prick!

[indistinct shouting]

f*cking k*ll ya!

f*ck off!

[yelling]

What I didn't say...

was that she basically
told me to f*ck off

and leave her alone.

Now I don't know what to do.

Listen to her.

She was doing you a favor.

You know,
people are always asking me

why I'm friends with you.

Oh, yeah?

What you tell them?

[tense music]



Do you mind telling me what
the f*ck is going on here?

We had a little trouble.

A little?

I'd say a lot.

What you fighting about?

We're just horsing around.

Like a couple
of carefree kids,

running all over town,
f*cking things up?

- Ted...
- No.

You treating me like a c**t?

Do you think I'm a c**t?

- No, Ted.
- No, Ted. No.

Maybe the big time's
too big for you.

If I can't trust you,
what is the point

in us having a relationship?

Teddy, Teddy, Teddy...

[stammering]

[g*n clicks]



How do I know
I can trust you?

Y-y-you--
you can trust us, Ted.

[whispering] Teddy... listen.

- Oh, yeah?
- I promise.



Abdulla Nazar,


Okay. Right.

Look, we never k*lled
that security guard.

- You don't say.
- I know.

But the truth is--

The truth is--

the truth is
Gal wanted to k*ll him,

but I talked him out of it.

So if you're gonna point
that g*n at someone,

point it at me.



No, Ted! No, no, no.

Is that right?

Yes, that's right.



Is that all?

That's all.

- Don. Don.
- Gal.

That was a waste
of f*cking time,

because the c**t's dead anyway.

[panting]



f*ck.

[g*n clicks]

Well, I'm glad that
we cleared the air.

Now all we have to worry about

is how offended Roger is

because you stood him up
last night,

and you know that a slight
is far worse

than a grievous bodily injury.

Clean yourselves up.

[tense music]



I do appreciate
the cooperation, my friend.

Do you have someone
who can take care of this?

[suspenseful music]

Yes, they're both here
right now.




And Comandante,

I do apologize
for the inconvenience.


And I do understand
that you have to do


whatever it is you need to do.



Adios.

You boys heard the phrase,

"For the want of a shoe,
the horse was lost"?




I'm surprised, Don.

Heard you was a big
"Catchphrase" fan.



It's a battle proverb.

If an horse loses a shoe
and takes a tumble,

the rider goes down
with the horse--

one less man in a fight.

The right fight needs
every man.

King could lose his empire.



So what do you think it means,
then, that saying?



You've got to look out
for the small things, ain't ya?

Well done.

Exactly.

Come on.

[tense music]



You boys know
Sir Stephen Eaton?

Eaton is a sadomasochistic
refined secretive c**t,

balls deep in half the Cabinet
and some choice Tory peers.

He made his name pilfering
from our sister nations.



The Eye of Bombay.

[dramatic music]



Bloody hell.

Is that a diamond?

This should be in a museum
in Johannesburg,

but Eaton absconded with it
back in '85

after brokering
an oil deal with him

using his
blueblood connections.

They're the real
f*cking gangsters.

The other thing
you need to know about Eaton

is he's a man of habit.

Some of his habits
are disgusting.


Others are rather
more necessary.

For example, if he feels
like he's getting squeezed,

a security breach,
a call from the taxman,


Eaton scurries
his prized possessions


back home to mother hen,
or in his case,

to mother-in-law hen
for safety,

which for Eaton
is a private residence


in Kensington Palace Road.

They've been
the m*therf*ckers

that have been f*cking
this country up the ass

since the days of Shakespeare.

And I bet that after
that business with the coin

and the little Laotian statue,
one more push,

and Eaton will move
that diamond there.

And that's where it will be.

There's guards everywhere.

The whole street's got
security up the ass--


dogs, motion alarms,
ground sensors.


Great Train Robbery's a piece
of piss compared to this.


The only question is...



Can you do it?



Do one thing for me.

I'm listening.

Don't think small.

[softly] Don't think small.



Right.

The only way this plan works

is if everyone does
their job correctly.

Whether you're the chef,
the pool boy,


the kitchen assistant,
the safecracker,

the foot soldier,
or an officer of the law

who's been given
specific instructions,


everyone needs to do
their job correctly.



No turning back now, boys.



Riley!

Riley!
