"My partners on the inside." "But..." "Oh, here we go..." "It's dependent on me getting some outside help." "Yo... we have an in." "A what?" "I've got a meeting with someone who can help us." "Have you told him that yet?" "It's not his business." "I thought we were doing this together." "He's useful to us, OK?" "That stuff about the other site closing, we need to know that shit." "Outside of these walls, he's not the boss." "You know that, don't you?" "Yeah, yeah, course." "It's not that I don't trust him," "I don't think he's up to it." "He can think what he wants, but we know we're running this, right?" "What do you want out of life, John?" "I..." "I want an opportunity to prove that I'm... that I'm capable of managing my own region." "So does the other guy I'm interviewing." "What puts you above him?" "Well, I'm..." "I think I have experience." "I've been managing my own site for nearly seven years." "Do your staff respect you?" "Aah, um, well..." "I think..." "You think?" "Never think, John." "Seriously, never think, always know." "Sorry." "Stop apologising!" "It doesn't matter if you're wrong and the other guy's right, don't admit to a weakness." "They're aware of your experience, it's written in front of them." "What they don't know and desperately want to hear is how much you want this job." "They want to see you tear a man limb from limb just to get it." "Really, you think so?" "I know so." "You're a nice guy, John." "That's not going to do it for you." "You've got to take it for yourself." "I will." "No "ums", "ers", no hesitation." "Walk into that room with a belief you can do it, and don't leave until you succeed." "It's all in there, John." "I can see it." "It's just behind those eyes." "So, who is this guy again?" "Kalpesh?" "He's a mate." "Did a conversion for me, introduced me around." "Good business, he's well connected." "Paki?" "India, Pakistan, somewhere around there." "Just do me a favour, yeah?" "Anything." "Don't try and be funny." "My man." "How you doing?" "This the bloke you want killed?" "You what?" "I'm screwing with you, mate." "You boys are family, right?" "Close enough." "My sister's partner, Marcus." "He's nailing your sister?" "I've got three of them myself, I just can't stand the idea of it." "Hey, it's a good job she's ugly, I'm the best she'll get." "That any way to talk about your lady?" "It was a... a joke." "I'll leave you boys to talk." "So, you have something I might want to see?" "What have you got there?" "40K?" "Bang on." "And I can get a lot more of it, with a bit of help." "Let's go and assume I already know where you work." "When you say "more", how much more?" "I can get it all." "And that is...?" "On a good night?" "Erm... up to 150 million." "No-one uses cash any more." "Doesn't make it worth any less." "You're a relatively wealthy man." "What do you want to talk to me about?" "I need someone to help me carry it out." "You want muscle?" "Yeah, in every sense of the word." "You have permission to walk in, take whatever you like, with no-one stopping you?" "Not exactly, but there will be a plan." "Oh, fantastic." "So there will be a plan, will there?" "You don't have to worry about that, that's the beauty of it." "We can work out all the details and leave nothing to chance." "We?" "Now there's a "we"." "I've got a lot of help on the inside." "Is this something we can talk more about, or not?" "Because I can leave now, if I'm out of order, no disrespect." "Let me take a proper look at this." "Make sure it is what it appears to be." "They're not fakes." "All the same, let me hold onto them for a bit." "If you want to establish trust, then you're going to have to make the first move." "You'll get it all back." "Look at me, it's my business." "Where am I going?" "We need a catch-up." "Not here." "I know that." "I've got a place." "An empty shop." "Just the usual, is it, sir?" "Here, I've, erm... pre-loaded each other's numbers." "Should make it easier to stay in touch." "Pink?" "Yeah, might encourage you not to leave it lying around." "So, er, where are we at?" "I had a meeting." "Indian guy by the name of Kalpesh." "Pretty much runs his own army." "And how did you find out about him?" "He was recommended." "Mm-hm?" "By... by who?" "Does it matter?" "Yes, yes it matters." "Because if he can be linked back to you..." "Do you have someone else lined up?" "Cos if you do, then we'll go with that." "If not, then maybe you want to stick to your secret corporate e-mail shit and let us get on with the proper stuff." "Just tell him what he said." "That he can provide us with personnel." "Right." "And where's the money?" "I'll get it back." "Back?" "Back from where?" "He wanted to check it out, make sure it was genuine." "I'm sorry, what?" "You gave ã40,000 of our money, to who?" "Someone with a criminal reputation that we don't know?" "He's giving it back." "When?" "Soon." "Oh, well, great." "This is..." "This is great." "If he said he'd give it back then..." "So you met him too?" "No." "But apparently you trust him?" "What did I say about agreeing to this stuff beforehand?" "We need that money back." "No money, no me, no job, no plan." "I'll get it." "Tomorrow, no later." "Oh, just call him for us, would ya?" "And say what?" "That I need to get it back." "Look, whatever you two talked about, agreed upon, exchanged, whatever, has nothing to do with me." "Don't drag me into your shit." "Well, can I trust him?" "No." "Oh, great." "Good work, thanks, mate." "You asked me for an introduction and that's what I got you." "Do I trust him?" "No." "Should you trust him?" "No." "I thought that was a given." "If he's done you over, sorry, not my problem." "What, you scared of him, or something?" "No, he won't hurt anyone." "But he has people who will." "You been out here waiting for me?" "I didn't want to go inside." "I didn't know if I should." "What do you want?" "I need it back." "Need what back?" "Come on, you know what." "I don't have a clue." "This wasn't the deal." "You'd better not be following me." "You can trust me." "I see you out here again, someone's going to come down." "You clear on that, Marcus?" "What does he expect me to do?" "Kneecap the bloke?" "If it's all going to go wrong, better now than down the line." "It's not going wrong!" "We're going to have to be patient, that's all." "The money's not there, the boss is going to have to find a way to cover it." "It can't all be down to us." "Then, tell him that." "Stammering prick." "You know he had to adopt a kid because he didn't have the batter to make one himself?" "I got some news." "Didn't just find 40 grand under the table, did ya?" "Dita and I... we're having a baby." "Shit, really?" "Yeah, really." "Nice one, mate." "Well done." "Haven't really told anyone yet." "Just family." "And everything's good?" "Everything's healthy?" "Far as we know." "I mean, it's tiny, just a little..." "You know, when we went to have the scan..." "When do we get audited next?" "Is it Friday?" "We've got until Friday, at least." "You'd better hope you don't hit traffic." "When have I ever been late for anything?" "Hang on, wait." "A job interview requires a Windsor knot." "Shows you take care and pay attention to smaller details." "Yeah, I don't think the... tie will swing it for me." "You can get this job." "If you want it badly enough, you can get it." "You sound like Gordon." "Well, we both know what you're capable of." "Knock 'em dead." "Yep." "Yep, that's the plan." "Just leave the talking to me." "No." "You don't say a bloody word." "Anyone offered you gentlemen coffee?" "We declined." "So this is the gang, is it?" "The three desperados." "The grunt, the security guard and you, sunshine, are wearing the suit of a pen pusher." "You have ã40,000 of our money." "Your money?" "It's ours if I say it's ours." "As I understand it, you've got a guaranteed 150 million coming your way." "I'm a little surprised to see you turn up mob-handed for just 40K." "Yeah, I don't think..." "I don't believe the situation was explained to you properly." "I wondered if that were the case." "We have an opportunity." "And right now, it's little more than that." "But without that money... that opportunity slips away." "Why didn't you come to me in the first place?" "Why send him?" "We had some leadership issues, but that's all straightened out now." "Now I know who I'm really dealing with... let's pretend I'm interested." "What's the plan?" "It's relatively simple." "You kidnap me." "You force me to get past security." "You terrorise everything in your path." "If all goes well, you don't kill anyone." "20 minutes later, you drive away with everything." "You and I divide it down the middle." "How we pay our respective teams is our business." "What are these two going to be doing?" "He'll be opening doors, avoiding alarms." "He'll be holding a gun to my wife's head." "You have weapons?" "No." "A van to drive it away in?" "Preferably a lorry, and no." "Are those items you can obtain for us?" "I can get it if I need it." "Then, do so." "When you're ready, show me." "Sounds like I could almost do this without you." "No." "No, you couldn't." "Start with the guns." "I want to see them." "How do I contact you?" "Well, I guess that's where he becomes useful." "Nice to meet you, Kalpesh." "You too." "John." "Where did that come from?" "You don't know anything about me." "Erm, I've got a question." "When did we agree on any of that?" "There's only one way we can get that much money out." "It's old-fashioned but it works." "Will the guns be loaded?" "Of course." "And the one I'm holding to your old lady's head?" "We have to come out the other side of this as victims." "It's the only way." "Would I rather one of his people hold my family hostage?" "No." "Get that in the vault." "Today." "I can do that." "You need to do less, Marcus." "And you?" "You need to contribute something." "Get the bus to work." "I'll see you, but not talk to you, tomorrow." "Can't you drop us somewhere?" "I've a job interview in Liverpool." "What do you want to work in Liverpool for?" "I don't." "HE EXHALES" "Ready?" "One, two, three." "Just here." "You know what I'm thinking?" "Do I want to?" "It's too much." "Why waste time loading what you don't need?" "He wants it all." "Why?" "I don't get it." "Why not play it safe and just get enough?" "Did you see him this morning?" "Yeah." "Course I saw him." "He was..." "Well, he was good." "And you can't do that." "And that's why, from now on, I'm listening to him." "Gordon had some nice things to say about you, John." "I'm sure he was just being kind." "He mentioned the modesty, too." "He believes you're very capable." "And we love Gordon." "He's hilarious." "Yeah." "Everybody loves Gordon." "He all but told us we'd be mad not to give you the position." "Well, that's..." "that's very flattering." "And very Gordon." "So let's hear it." "Wow us." "Tell us why Gordon believes in you." "OK..." "Er..." "Well, I..." "I'm... sorry, I..." "I think I have..." "HE STAMMERS" "I have g-g-good..." "Take your time, John." "Sorry, c-could I have... could I have a glass of water, please?" "Apparently I need a key for the car park." "Just a second, sir." "There we are." "Thank you." "ALARM PANEL BLEEPS" "BLEEPING STOPS" "How'd it go?" "What, they said "no" or they...?" "They didn't exactly have to." "You're a pessimist." "Maybe they liked you a lot more than you think." "I screwed up." "I mean, I..." "I could hardly get a word out." "I'm sorry." "It's fine." "It doesn't matter." "It's not something we need." "It's Liverpool." "We're here." "We're happy." "We're a family." "That's enough, isn't it?" "Put her back in her room." "Sleep in here tonight." "Gina?" "Oh... shit." "Can we talk?" "Wait your turn." "They've got some noodles if you want one." "I'm sorry?" "Noodles." "The floaty things." "Right!" "Thanks." "This is our first time." "For a first-timer, she's good." "Yeah." "BELL RINGS" "Nice-looking girl you've got there, son." "Dad... this is Dita." "Hello, Mr Lebdon." "Sidney." "Sid." "If he's bringing you here, then he's got something he really wants to tell me." "We're having a baby." "Everyone!" "listen up." "I'm going to be a grandad!" "MEN CONGRATULATE HIM" "Welcome to the family, love." "Sorry it's a bit of a car crash." "Look at you, eh?" "You are mine, eh?" "When you took that job I knew we'd end up talking about this." "I'm that predictable?" "To me." "Nothing's decided yet." "It's just an idea." "Your idea?" "Not entirely." "Good." "Maybe someone else can think it through properly." "You're not angry with me?" "This is like everything else." "It doesn't matter what I say, what warnings I give you, if you want to do it you'll find a way." "It could change our lives." "Whatever the outcome, that's guaranteed." "KNOCKING" "Talk to me, will ya?" "I'm talking to you." "You're waiting to hear what you want to hear." "And what's that?" "That I support you." "That I... what?" "Believe in you?" "And don't you?" "I think in your head you see things play out and nothing ever goes wrong." "And that's you." "That's what's so infectious about you." "But something always does go wrong." "Something you do." "Something you forget to consider." "You think I'm a loser." "I don't have to believe in you to love you." "But this time... this time things are going to be different." "This time you're going to run it all past me." "Step by step, every choice, every decision." "I'm not going to let you screw this up." "SPLASHING" "That's it." "Powerful kicks." "Lovely." "Not far to go." "Kick your legs." "Good." "He is like you are." "My dad?" "No." "Yeah." "He is quiet and strong." "Do you know why he's in there?" "Do you want to know why?" "He hurt people." "Who?" "Anyone." "Anyone he was asked to hurt." "Then, for money?" "Sometimes for money." "Sometimes just for good old-fashioned pride." "But I'm not like him." "I don't want to be like him." "Underneath it all, I know he's a good man." "My dad never said "no" to anyone." "You've forgotten your towel." "Hurry up." "In you go." "Get yourself dry." "Put your wet things in the bag, all right?" "I'll just be out here." "I'm sorry." "What was that?" "I said I'm sorry." "I bumped into YOU." "Why are you sorry?" "Look, it was an accident." "You often apologise when you've done nothing wrong?" "That the sort of man you are?" "I don't know what your problem is..." "No, there's no problem here." "I'm not the pussy backing down, am I?" "REPORTER: 'The name we're being given is Christopher Lebdon, 'a 31-year-old security guard who was working the night shift when the robbery took place.'" "'His condition is said to be critical."
