If you want to do all kinds of
situations,

right people, right time, just the wrong
location.

I've got a good idea.

Just you keep me near. I'll be so good
for you.

I'm going to help you. Love me like you
want me to.

I'll do it.

I mean, that is.

That's his son, Hugo.

From his first marriage.

Lived in Harry's shadow from the day he
was born.

Oh.

Donovan.

That's his best friend.

Let me guess.

His wife?

Ex -wife.

Liz II.

Amicable split with him.

Harry Grant was not a very nice man.

That must be his daughter.

I don't know.

Trouble. Wife number three.

That's unlucky.

Jake, come on. Look like me.

Even in the Valley of Shadow or Death,
there are openings for a man of

enterprise. Don't you ever give your
profit motive the day off?

Don't look it, son. You're on the job
and a merry widow needs minding. You're

taking advantage of a grieving woman.

She's lonely and she needs company in
this difficult time.

Anyway, there's a will to read and cash
to be made.

Unless, of course, you'd rather walk
away from a damsel in distress.

The lizard was off his purse then, yeah?

It's alright if you don't want to talk,
I don't mind.

I never met Harry, but I'm sure he
was... Well, he couldn't have been as

they said.

What I mean is, well, he looked like he
was a nice guy.

Listen, I'm just trying to say sorry
about your old man.

He was older than me, so what? Is there
something wrong with that?

I'm honest, am I? Why don't you just
stop and drive?

Tell you what, I'll just stop and drive.

Dear son Hugo, I leave my most treasured
possession, my autographs of the entire

Arsenal FA Cup winning squad of 1979.

To my ex -wife Liz, I leave my extensive
and

pristine vinyl collection, including the
Gary Glitter single.

Sam Donaghan, what a lovely surprise.

What were you doing here, Archie?

Just skirting the environs.

Oh, did you too, did he?

That was a Harry Garner everyone, didn't
it?

Sure.

Only the dead are beyond the judgement
of mortals.

He didn't happen so nice to Bella.

Yeah. But a man our age struck down his
prime like that.

He never even had a day off with a cold.

All he ever did was talk business,
business, business.

And that's what killed him.

What business?

No, drink.

That is diet.

Well, he wasn't fat.

No, the crap he was eating.

The post -mortem said it was his
lifestyle. It's no different from you or

Well, the future is just a new -made
egg.

It's fragile in our fingers.

Let the curtain thrust the modern life
down and we'll be next up.

And to my last and by far my favourite
wife, Maria.

I leave the most precious thing of all,
the memory of what we shared together.

Is that it?

What about his house and his assets?

It gives me great pleasure to leave all
my other worldly goods to Bianca and the

girls. Who's Bianca?

His bloody cats.

For their care and comfort at the Borden
Cat Sanctuary.

With all aspects of this, my final will
and testament to be executed

immediately.

Wait, please.

We need to talk now.

I never want to see you again, Hugo.

You can't just walk away like that.

Back off, sunshine.

Who are you?

Somebody you don't know.

Keep a very careful eye on that black
widow.

There you are, Maria. Trust everything
turned out okay.

Hugo's got a bit of an attitude problem.

He and Harry haven't spoken for years.

Family, is that?

He always had to have a laugh last
night, Harry.

It's too expensive humour, if you ask
me.

Nothing gives me more pleasure than
public humiliation.

They made him look like a rat pillard.

Yeah, but look what he did to me.

So where are you going to go?

Probably the next flight home.

Mum always said I'd be coming back with
my tail between my legs.

Better get my stuff before they change
the lock.

What's going on?

I've even taken off. Can you look that
up?

Are you looking for something?

Only your business.

Sorry. I think somebody pulled up our
front.

We shouldn't really hang about.

This is my home.

Not anymore, it's not.

What do you want?

Heart. Dream on.

Well, if that's the way you want it.

Yeah, but can he use it? The wise man
knows not to choose the wrong enemy.

Oh, no!

Now drive!

Easy!

Sorry! Where to?

My place.

You've got some explaining to do.

I'm used to the car doors at home. It
was an accident.

What's going on here, Maria?

Thought it was your job just to look
after me. I might be the hired help, but

do not like taking a beating unless it's
for a very good cause.

All right.

Harry did a job a while back, before I'd
even met him.

Some Russian billionaire bought a place
in Kensington and Harry found out when

he was taking his wife's valuables
through Heathrow. So he and Donovan and

dressed up as security guards and made
off with half of it.

And? But Harry was the only one caught
on camera.

I mean, he managed to stash the stuff
they played before he got nicked, but he

didn't tell the others where it was
while he was inside.

Not big on loyalty, was he?

When he got out, he took them to where
he said he'd buried it.

Right where they'd gone and built the
Millennium Dome.

Had to be useful for something.

I mean, he managed to keep the loot
tucked away carefully, but, I mean, it

no good to him, because he couldn't
spend it or Donathan would kill him.

And now he's dead, they're waiting for
you to go get it.

I don't even know what it is, never mind
where it is.

He trusted you about as much as the
other guys.

He would have told me, if I hadn't been
for him dying so sudden.

The guy cut you out of his will and left
you with nothing.

Like I said, you're paid to protect me,
not to have an opinion.

The spare room's made up.

Having trouble sleeping?

Doesn't everyone?

Lightheaded if you get up too quickly?

Only when I've been drinking.

Any short -term memory loss?

Can't remember the last one.

Me too.

Pain in the arse.

No, seriously, Doc, I'm having these
unhealthy thoughts.

You know, like I'm going to go before my
time. You want to watch that?

People don't realise that death can be
psychosomatic.

Seriously, I am worried.

I was banking on a few more decades at
least.

Well, we can't hold back the ravages of
time, but we can stall them a bit when

they're not looking.

Well, how do I do that, then? Avoid
stress, quit drink, get exercise and go

fruit diet.

Is that it?

About 50 quid should do it.

That's packed full of vitamin C.

It's good for your heart prostrate.

Not even the thyme used to be watered
down.

Petra, the guys can't. As the man with
no name once said, a man's got to know

his own limitations.

That was dirty, Harry.

And a fiver says you don't last a day.

Oh, she of little faith. Let me tell you
something, Petrie. Look at the new

Archie Daly. I've cleaned up my act.

Oh, yes, no more late nights, no more
bad food, no strong drink, and

no more stress.

Be good.

I've warned you, I have a heart
condition. Where is she?

And who may that be exactly? No, no, no.

Hands on me dicky ticker, I haven't got
the foggiest. I suppose you know nothing

about the diamonds either.

Diamond?

Hold me a minute.

Don't even think of driving it again.

Still vacancies for the London Olympics.

Oh, you may not be, Jamie.

But let's just see which one of us lasts
the longest, eh? My life expectancy's

gone right down since you lumbered me
with the ice cream.

Oi, oi! You told me this was a bluff
job.

No, I said she needed protection.

Well, she needs a bleeding swat thing
with that Bruce Lee after her.

What, Chen Donovan?

Chen. What, a pin jacket? Yes, a pin
jacket. And I warned you not to take

minces off.

Something's not right about her, Archie.
She's not exactly what you'd call in

mourning. Yeah, well, some of us grieve
in different ways, all right. Yeah,

well, I think she's after his money. Why
else would a girl like that be with a

guy twice her age? How much for... Ah,
Maria.

Sweetheart.

Hello.

Jamie tells me you're having a spot
of... Let me reassure you we guarantee

total backup.

Thanks, Archie.

Right, and the diamonds are as good as
in the bag.

Diamonds? What diamonds?

Yeah, for a percentage, obviously.

That's from the robbery.

Oh, well, whatever they're worth will go
50 -50.

Aye, I sense a very good judge of
character.

Presuming no man alive knows where the
ice has been desecrated, we can only

piece together the bits of the jigsaw.
We have the will, the cat's home, best

mate Donovan, ex -wife Liz, testimony of
the son such as he is of Hugo.

Who was he?

Well, deranged of calling.

But Maria, is there maybe anything else,
you know, you might have got from

Harry? Just these letters.

Oh, yeah?

They're from Liz, mostly.

Some of them recent.

I'll always cherish that special thing,
Mian. Like the time in the car park with

the handcuffs. I can never again look at
a cucumber without thinking about that

night we had in Stoke when you two... I
can't believe you keep letters like

that. You don't seriously think he was
still seeing her? You and her.

No context.

Well, I mean, it's a good place to
start. It's not as if we've got a whole

of choice, is it? Not unless you've got
a way of talking to the dead.

I knew your resolution wouldn't last.
No, I don't need a drink, Petra, but I

need a quiet word in your shell like.

Listen, I need to get in touch with your
cousin postage. You know the one what

changed his name?

Who, Vlad the Imposter?

What he does, it ain't natural.

Oh, just to refresh my memory, though,
did you say he was psychic or psychotic?

Come in.

Come.

Closer. Open your heaving heart.

Relax your anguished minds.

Release your id and let Vlad lead you
without fear or bondage.

You know who you are.

You know what I need from you.

And you belong to me.

There is a word.

Inspiration coming to you from deep in
your soul.

A place, a name, an idea.

A world with great significance to all
here.

It is time.

Why are we doing this? You know Les
hates me. If you want to find those

diamonds, she's the only lead we've got.

You've got some cheek coming here after
the damage you did. We just want a quiet

chat. No, it's not my fault. Harry
wanted me the first time he saw me. This

hard for both of you, obviously.

He always liked him cheap.

Yeah, well, maybe if you laid off the
chicken burgers a bit. But you've got to

put all that behind you.

So, how did you feel that he left you
with nothing?

Prove you were just another little tart
for him to chew up and spit out. Time

out. Time out.

He came here to talk.

Why were you writing to my husband?

I wouldn't expect a kid like you to
understand.

Hang on. I saw you break his finger at
the funeral.

Just because I loved him.

Doesn't mean I didn't hate him, too.

Yeah, well, he didn't love you.

So why did he keep my letters? Don't
kind of kid yourself.

I know you're just like the rest of
them. You're only interested in the

diamonds.

What diamonds?

Petra told you I was coming, didn't she?

I have no concept of who you may be,
citizen.

Archie Daly. And I know you're Colin
from Catford.

Well, I might have anticipated you were
coming, Kemosabe, but how did the

punters know?

No, I'm not bothered. Keep your trade
secrets to yourself.

All I know is hoping for a little help
on a personal matter.

I can't make my tennis perform just like
that. I have to wait for the spirits to

rise. Oh, maybe this will shift them
from their slumber.

Ah.

Lucifer's calling card.

Yes.

How can he humiliate me like this?

Is that caviar?

The world is made up of two sorts of
people.

Those who like cats and those who don't.

You, I presume, are one of the latter.

Oh, I like him, Ora. I just don't think
he should be treated better than people.

The Egyptians believed that their cats
were gods.

Nine out of ten cats would agree with
him. I must ask, who you are?

Mrs. Grunt.

How well did you know my husband?

Oh, I only met him once or twice.

But he was a kindred spirit.

This legacy is like a dream come true.

Yeah, winter in the Bahamas and a summer
house in Saint -Tropez.

The will is quite specific.

All the money goes to the cats.

The most I can gain is to enjoy the
television and share the food.

Mr Donovan was here earlier.

He was rather partial to my tarama
salata.

I know Kathy blew up their heads, but
she is absolutely barking.

Well, she's definitely not in it for the
money.

At least I was straight up about that
bit.

Yeah, but why was Donovan there?

Because he couldn't get to you. He did
the next best thing.

I don't know where the diamonds are.

Well, that ain't what Chan Donovan did.

Call to the devil.

Any bastard will get arrested.

I can't hope we lose him before we run
out of juice.

Right, that's it.

Thanks, Empty. We're going to have to
make a run for it.

Come on. Come on.

Some exercise.

Come on, you're here. Come on, I have
nine kids.

You've got interesting friends.

I used to work here.

I met Harry.

Well, after you go.

People do for tonight.

Maybe I should just get the Bert train
out of here.

It's not quite up to Harry. Go on.

You're going to have to get used to
that, aren't you?

Look, if you hate me that much, you know
what you can do.

I just want you to be straight with me
about all this.

I've told you everything I know. But
Donovan wouldn't be after you unless you

had something.

I don't need to talk to Mike.

You've been around the block a few
times, haven't you?

Oh, pretty.

You've no idea the kind of life I've had
either.

Yeah, well, have you ever had somebody
die in your arms?

You were with him.

We were in bed together.

You weren't actually... Making love?

Yes.

Well, I suppose if you had a choice in
these things.

You knocked him to death.

I shouldn't feel too bad about it.

Betrayed you for his cats, remember?

Listen, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...
You just sat up and talked to someone

else for five minutes.

Sorry. It's not like that. Yeah, me too.

I've been a different life.

What are you playing at? I've been
looking all night for you.

Do you mean she's a vulnerable young
widow?

I slept in the armchair.

Oh, really?

Yeah. That's why you bring her back
here, then, eh? Because Chan Donovan was

hanging out at my place.

Honest.

Right, Henry, listen, it's a long shot,
but it's someone I wanted to meet, all

right? He rings, he might be able to
help her.

Come on, trust me.

I am sorry for your loss, Mrs. Grant.

But while your husband might have
completed this part of his being, you

find him full of life within the neck.

That girl's suffered enough, and you
want to put her through this, Hocus

These guys are the real deal. We've got
nothing to lose. What about her?

I see you are a skeptic. Is it bleeding
mine, Vader?

I can also surmise you prefer to use
your fists before your thoughts.

But at heart, you are a man of honor.

With a wish that people could see beyond
this gruff exterior.

Say, why did they jam me? He can ping
-pong you in a mouse boat.

The spirits of the departed can often
seem unsettled, but there is nothing to

fear.

Unless, of course, we have done
something for which we need to be

Maria, wait up!

I'm just sorry about that. That old son,
I've got to talk with him real. I'll

tell you what, mate.

That girl's guilty of something.

You're some piece of work, you are.
What, you want to... I was only trying

help. You're only helping yourself, and
now Maria's in my cab, crying like a

baby. Or maybe she's hiding something.
What are you on about now?

Vlad thinks she's guilty of something.

How do we know that she didn't kill
Harry herself, eh? You are really losing

No, no, no, no, don't think about it.

She's stringing us along, because that
would explain everything.

But Harry died on the job.

Oh, we're having sex.

Really? And I believe her. She's just
straight up.

Oh, you've changed your tune all of a
sudden, haven't you? I got to know her a

bit, that's all. Yeah.

Well, you just be careful.

Yes. Because you could be next.

A woman could give a man a heart attack
drawing.

You know.

Few of us are lucky enough to go into
town.

Most part attacks happen on the bog.

Like Elvis.

Tragic but true. One minute you're
settling down with your auto trader and

building up to a good old crib.

Please.

I have a very delicate constituency.

I just need to know if a woman could
murder a man that way.

Well, why not?

If she's good at it.

to cast any dispersions, Liz. I just
want to find out exactly how Harry died.

I thought he went peacefully in his
sleep.

Well, that's a new point, actually. I
was wondering if he might have had a

problem.

Apart from it stopping like that, no.

So, do you think he might have been
vulnerable in bed, so to speak?

Quite the reverse.

He liked things a bit rough, to be
honest.

He had a big thing about body piercing,
too.

That it's both done up like pin
cushions.

That's a long time since I had the firm
touch of a good man.

I really must be off now.

Oh, don't go. I'm just knocking up a ham
sandwich. I've turned vegetarian.

That's cucumber if you fancy it.

I couldn't really.

So what did you come round for?

To put it frankly, do you think Maria
had reason to kill him?

Those diamonds were worth over half a
million.

Can you think of a better motive than
that?

Here, Vlad, I need to do this myself.

That girl's way too dangerous.

Harry is with us.

He is glad you are here.

He wants to help you.

That's nice.

But he has to be sure it is really you.

Tell him he still owes me five grand.

It was free enough, Daly.

Yeah, of course, but, you know, what
with inflation and interest, I just

that maybe we could, you know... Is that
all you wanted?

I'm going to cut to the chase.

Harry?

It's about the diamonds.

Ask my wife.

She doesn't know. She should be able to
work it out. All the facts are there.

It's just a matter of how you look at
them.

Any chance of a clue, Harry?

They're for her daily.

And every girl knows.

Diamonds are for wearing.

Don't hurt him! I'm protecting you!

So is he!

From who?

From you!

I kidnapped her!

You kidnapped her first!

I'm helping her get what she's owed
before you and that tongue boogie. This

isn't about diamonds.

It's much more important than that.

Oh, my God.

You and your own stepson.

It's not like that.

Harry thought we were having an affair.
That's why he broke me out of the will.

He ruined both our lives.

I don't believe it.

I felt sorry for you.

But it's not true.

Don't deny it, Maria.

I can help you find the diamonds if
that's what you want.

Now's my chance to make you happy. Stop
it, Hugo.

You've always taken things too far.

I've only got your word for that,
haven't I?

There's nothing between us. You have to
believe me.

Or should I?

You haven't exactly been big on the
truth so far.

Face facts, babe.

Dad's dead.

There's nothing stopping us now.

Please, Jamie.

You've got him to protect you and your
precious diamonds.

You don't need me anymore.

Jamie, where are you?

Jamie, hey!

Jamie, listen up.

Does Maria wear earrings?

I don't know and I don't care. Has she
got any body piercing? I don't want to

talk about her.

Well, how about this? I want to talk
about half a million big ones.

Yes!

Jamie, come on. Maybe she's wearing
diamonds and she doesn't know it, yeah?

silver, as far as I could see.

Well, that leads me to only one
conclusion.

Hey!

I know where the rocks are.

Ha -ha!

Listen, I know I was wrong to accuse the
poor girl. She's the victim in all

this. She needs us. And we need her.
Come on, get dressed. Hurry up. Come on!

Let's go!

She's gone.

No idea where, but she's not coming
back.

Right. I thought with Dad dead, we might
have a chance at a future together.

She obviously had other ideas.

No hard feelings, mate.

So, where would you go then? Any ideas?

Yeah, I've got an idea.

Now we find the girl and we'll find
those diamonds. Trust me.

I was right there with you till those
last two words.

What do you care?

Listen, I want to explain.

Well,

I might have, you know, jumped to the
wrong conclusion earlier.

Forget it. It doesn't matter now.

It is hardly the best place for you to
be right now.

Well, background started.

I know my way around here and I know
what I'm worth.

Come with me, Maria.

I get a knight in shining armour every
night at this game.

Join the queue.

I'm trying to help you out here.

Leave me alone, Jamie.

All right, look.

I hardly believe this myself, but...
Archie's got a message for you.

For Mary.

You're supposed to pull up on the other
side.

Can we get this over with, please, so I
can get back to work? Sorry, of course,

my dear. Yeah.

Jamie tells me you have a message from
my dead husband.

Difficult to ingest, but Harry spoke to
me clear as day. Simple, but cryptical.

He said diamonds are for wearing.

Unpack that for us a bit more.

Jamie, if Maria's not wearing them, then
Harry is. It's his earring and all his

other pierced bits.

Oh, that is it.

You have really crossed the line this
time. Jamie, it's half a million

I'm not digging up a dead guy. I know
you feel a bit iffy about it. It's

bleeding them all.

We'll only do it if Maria gives us the
nod.

That won't be necessary.

Whoa, whoa, don't be too wavy, love.
Don't listen to him, Maria.

Harry was cremated.

It's what he would have wanted.

Was that prayer or something?

You know any?

They might have melted.

Diamonds don't melt.

The hardest natural substance known to
man.

Oh, sorry.

That's my house. That guy's a lying kid.
All the money I paid him.

You owe us one very stiff drink,
Archibald.

Girls know diamonds are for wearing. He
made it up, the bloody con man.

Girls know diamonds are for wearing.

He had expensive collars made for the
cats.

That's what he meant by leaving it to
Bianca and the girls.

I told you to wait in the car.

Shh. I let you into Lion's Den all on
your own.

Dustin, the diamonds aren't here. Can
you tell? They all look the same. Well,

we've checked them all at least twice.

No Bianca name tag either.

Well, maybe we're too late.

The cat lady said Donovan was here.

She's dead.

Whoa, no, don't tell me it was Chan.

Not her, Bianca.

She died last year.

That's what he meant in the will when he
said the most precious thing.

The memories we shared.

She's losing it. We pushed her over the
edge. We?

It's Bianca's collar. That's where he
hid the diamond.

And I'm the only one who knows where the
cat's buried.

So I like it.

You sure it's here, love? Yeah,
definitely. She's down the bottom in the

I'm sorry, I don't think I can go
through with this.

Hey, come on, that's all right. You stay
in the warm. It's fine.

Me and Jamie will do the dirty work,
won't we?

Yeah.

Zombie fleshies?

Seriously, something over there in the
shadows.

Must be a cat or something.

We'll do all the dirty work, won't we,
Jamie?

Hurry up, this place is giving me the
heebie -beebies.

You never got your hands dirty in your
life, have you? Whoa, whoa, whoa, in

you forgot, I'm the brains in this
partnership.

Remember give and take?

Yeah, I give.

And you take... State of pro quo, Jamie,
that's what makes us the perfect pair.

Yeah, right, pair of... Gently does it.

I do believe I have a new respect for my
feline cousins.

Especially this one.

Go on, then, open her up.

You've got muscle.

What, are you afraid?

No, I'm not afraid.

You ought to be.

The chain, you hold it right there.

It's two against one.

The odds are in our favour.

Can't again, aren't you?

You haven't said hello to my wee friend.

All right, game over.

You want it, Jan?

You can have it.

Hit him properly, Jamie.

The Druid Samurai are respected enemies
above all else.

Now that's teamwork.

Revenge is sweet.

I prefer it as a dish served cold.

Oh, funny without the Clyde. Liz,
Elizabeth, please.

May I suggest we repair somewhere
slightly more salacious with a bottle of

something very strong where we can sit
down?

and hopefully negotiate our way out of
this somewhat daunting conundrum.

We'll take that as a no then, shall we?

Mary was so certain.

She said she knew exactly where they
were.

She did, didn't she?

My cab!

Jamie!

It's a shame not to gain out of all of
this somehow, Archie.

I've got to do something with all that
adrenaline.

The walk will do me good.

I wanted you to know that.

Good old Bianca turned up then.

I bought it for me when the real one
died.

So he cut me out of his will just to get
the others off my back.

You were a comedian, weren't you?

He got me out of a rotten life and I
loved him for it with all my heart.

And now I know he loved me too.

So you get to laugh, laugh this time?

You don't think I deserve it?

Or would you rather the others got the
diamonds?

No, I just don't like having a fast one
pulled, that's all.

What are you going to do?

Are you going to stop me?

Why did you come here, Jamie?

I don't know.

Just to say, sorry.

I was wrong.

I should have trusted you from the
start.

Who knows what might have happened if
you had.

I don't think that.

You want to watch that, Jamie?

Sometimes people just connect.

Don't ask too many questions when that
happens.

A moment passes just like that, and if
you're not ready to grab it, it's gone.

It's not unique to come with me.

Looks like you need it.

Half pint of your finest cranberry
juice, please, Petra. You made it home

right, then?

Yes. I'm a little dehydrated after a 15
-mile jog because somebody stole my car.

Nothing wrong with your heart, then?

I've got a lot more than I like, then.

You both missed the party?

My cousin Colin was here all night
buying drinks.

That the impaler? I warned you about
him, Archie. He made more dosh out of

than he does in a month.

Don't begrudge him a penny. That man has
remarkable insight.

He's a shy star.

Don't tell me you fell for that bunkum.
No, it's a question of faith, belief in

the hero.

If I tell you something now, without
him, we would never, ever have got to

bottom of it. We'd have worked out
something.

Oh, really, James, is that right? How
come Vlad knew about Harry? How come he

knew about the stolen diamonds? And how
could he have possibly known the exact

amount of money owed to me by a dead
man?

Because I told him.

I'll get you another.
