Original subtitles

You have the most beautiful skin in the world.

Yeah. Did I wake you?

No. Better luck next time.

Where are you?

Clavis.

You're what?

I'm at Clavis.

Seen the telegraph?

Charmless photo.

Delightful piece.

It might amuse you.

What are you doing, fighter?

I persuaded the banker to invite me to breakfast.

I'm curious to learn my fate.

Our fate.

I don't need you to cut my toast into fingers, Jerry.

I'm a big boy now. Look, we've got a deal for... Neither of us have anything

yet. Remember that.

Winterly? Yeah, Liv, yes, me.

Listen, Anna stood me up last night. Is she around?

It's seven o 'clock.

I've got a problem, Olivia.

Yes, I think you probably have.

A friend of your beloved spitted up here last night, and he's rather dishy.

Anna hasn't got any friends.

He was caught something odd.

Olivia, listen.

If I bring Joseph over, will you look after him for a couple of hours?

Oh, God.

Well, be quick, then.

I worship you.

Oh, I think you should.

Roman. That was it.

What? His name.

The Mystery Oak.

He's here.

He's coming with us.

Come on, then. Uppy, uppy, uppy. We've got a plane to catch.

Come on.

Now, listen to me. All of you, please.

Please.

So?

I tricked you.

And you have lost some faith.

But no money?

The fact remains, Mr. Franklin.

The banking system operates on trust. And we can no longer trust you.

Yes, you can.

My corporation is still as strong as an ox.

I think not.

You see, I've been chatting with the Bank of England, the stock exchange.

I think you'll find dealing your shares is about to be suspended until the

situation can be clarified to everyone's satisfaction, including, perhaps,

that of the fraud squad.

Who the hell does that mean?

We are responsible to our investors.

It is our duty to recall our loans.

Recall them from me and your investors will suffer.

Mr. Franklin, how can I put this?

We want our money back.

And we intend to get it.

You're shit, you people, really, aren't you?

Stinking shit in suits.

Take me to my grandchild, Willie. Take me home.

I've just had a call, sir. I think baby Joseph is at Winterley with his dad.

What?

Love you, presumptuous bastard.

Get me there.

Help me.

For God's sake.

Somebody help me.

Help me.

Somebody help me.

Roman, wait.

Please, don't watch me.

Well, I can't stay here, and I'm not leaving without you. I'll take care of

Maybe I can take care of myself now.

Maybe.

Then maybe there's somebody else.

Roman, I told you this all through the night.

There is no one else.

I'm going back.

I got business in Geneva I should have done months ago. I came all the bloody

way here to find you first because you're the most important thing in my

Am I the most important thing in your life?

You're hurting me.

Or is it him, for example?

Dex. So there you are.

Am I?

That's convenient.

How do you do? I'm Roman.

Roman something or something Roman?

Well, God knows. Mystery to me. Roman all do.

Why didn't you tell me you had a baby?

She's a bit forgetful.

You're late.

They want you to go straight on in.

Do they?

Right.

I'll be with you in a minute.

Right. Right.

Oh, damn. I've got to tell him something.

I'll be back in a sec.

Anna!

Don't be a stranger.

I won't.

I've been thinking.

I'm buggered if I'm going to turn Winsley into a theme park.

The hell on earth.

Remember me?

I've got a rush.

Something weird is going on.

Has he been fed?

He has, but it's all come out the other end. Can you deal with it? He stops in

the kitchen.

Oh, Jesus.

When did he get here?

Last night.

Did you sleep with him? Look, for God's sake.

Any minute now, he's going to drag me out of here. Nobody is going to drag you

anywhere.

Did he hurt you?

No. No.

I know how to keep him calm.

So you're going to go back to living with him to keep him calm?

Derek, I love you.

Please trust me.

I say that to people, and they do, and they always regret it.

Look, when you didn't show up last night, I got really angry.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry. Look, it's just... Franklin's gone to the wall.

It's important, Anna.

Everybody will blame me. I stand to lose my baby.

If Roman finds out about you, he'll kill your baby. I'm being serious.

So am I.

So why don't you just call the police?

And say what?

My ex -lover makes my flesh creep.

I can't hide anymore. I've got to make a stand.

I can't bear him to touch me.

He treats me like a dirty magazine.

Thumbing through the pages till he finds the right one.

This little boy is going to break so many hearts.

He's already worse than you.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I thought you were someone else.

Hello.

Ah, you again.

Wherever there is misery, there you are.

More good news.

The city has decided to crucify me.

What?

But I'm here for one reason only, to retrieve my grandson. Where is he?

Where is Joseph?

Wait a minute.

Where did you get it?

What, this?

Or that?

The gun.

Well, I found it in the back seat.

That's full of surprises, this car. Let me tell you. Look at this.

As standard, a spare parent in the boot.

Daddy.

Hi. Daddy, are you all right?

I think I may be clinically dead.

Well,

listen, I'm popping off for a bit now with this infant, which, of course, I'd

rather the police didn't hear about.

I'll be more specific. If anybody does call the police, I'm going to blow the

little bugger's head off.

I got the idea from you, of course.

We'll be in touch.

Oui. Well, it's coming with me, aren't you?

Are you mad?

Yes.

Nice to meet you, Jimmy.

We must have lunch sometime.

She went with him, Jimmy.

Under duress.

She went, yes.

And your ass, of course.

Tom, I used to think you were demented. This man is a walking carnival

of morbid homicidal psychosis.

Call the police.

If anybody calls the police, I'll kill them.

Well, you wanted somewhere deserted.

What do you know about this place?

Roman. Very good choice. The heart of British industry shouldn't run into

anybody here. Listen to me.

I don't think you quite understand what it is you've done here.

This child is Tom Franklin's grandson.

Tom Franklin?

Wow.

He'd throw a different complexion on things, wouldn't he?

What do you want?

Well, it's all rather banal, I'm afraid.

Stage one.

I want Franklin personally to leave 100K on the altar at Winterly Melbourne

Church this afternoon at four o 'clock in a bin liner.

You'll understand it's the idea of Franklin heaving a bin liner around the

countryside that I find attractive.

Any hint of police participation, etc., etc., and, well, I'm afraid it's...

Bits of baby Joseph through the old letterbox.

Stage two.

Well, let's see how we get on with stage one, shall we?

Well, I think...

You wouldn't really kill this baby, would you?

Yep.

Yeah, that's the problem.

Fortunately, not one we have to worry about. I mean, perhaps I'm the kind of

who carries a hundred grand in his top pocket.

I've only asked for as much as I'm guaranteed to get.

Supposing you don't?

Let's have a bit of a picture.

Shall we?

I'm afraid they've hit us with a Mareva

injunction. What?

A Mareva injunction.

It freezes the assets of the prey.

By law.

Angel has done this to me.

I'm afraid so.

But you can, of course, organize for me to cash a personal check, yes?

Well, no, I can't. 100 ,000?

It's a paltry sum I need urgently for a private matter.

You're asking me to break the law.

I'm asking you to show a little loyalty, damn you.

Look, just sell the bloody roller.

There's a guy... Mr Franklin is not allowed to sell anything.

That's the point of the injunction.

I can't believe this is happening to me.

We're not ever better of a friend.

You have this habit, really, of saying the most evacuous, feeble -minded...

do you mean?

I mean a whip around Jimmy Blake.

You know me, Tom. My money's buried under mountains of tax -proof paperwork

I can't get at it.

This is a catastrophe that affects you.

I'd have to go to London. I'm in the middle of the bloody country.

There is time, Jimmy.

That's just what I'm saying.

Oh, for God's sake, Blake, what are you trying to do?

Do you want the child to live or don't you? Yes or no?

Listen...

I don't need you to remind me of her, the bloody little witch.

She was there when my daughter died. She'll be there when my grandson dies.

Tom, don't blow it. Now, look here.

I spent 24 sodding hours scrunched like a pickled walnut in the boot of my car.

I'd been physically threatened by a maniac with a shotgun.

And I... Hello, hello.

Hello. You bloody man. I'm trying to help you.

He hung up.

He hung up.

Right.

Okay.

Now we have to break the law.

I mean, how about a cruise?

Hmm?

I know a man with a boat.

You are kidding.

Bit of sun, cocktails, men in uniform. You'd love it.

I, um, throw up if I go to sea in anything smaller than Australia.

Mm -hmm.

Well, this boat is bigger than Australia.

Yeah, you always did hate talking about the future, didn't you?

Well, okay.

I'm going to have to talk about something else.

Is he good?

Who? Dex.

Dex with Dex. Is it good?

Derek chased me from the moment I hit Wintley.

He got nowhere, Roman.

This is all a big mistake.

No, it's fair.

Just fair.

Kiss me.

Kiss me, Roland.

No.

Talk a bit more about Derek's much more interesting.

I mean, what sort of jealousy?

I mean, that stuff in his hair is very unfavourable, isn't it? Mind you, you

can't run a bloke down for looking like an Italian waiter, can you? I mean, does

he... Does he love you more than me?

I mean, would he risk his life to save your life?

I would.

I'm doing it now.

How is this saving my life, Roman?

There is no life for either of us unless we're together, remember? When we're

not together, everything's in black and white, remember? We're born to burn,

Anna, not to fade, both of us.

I think we should stop this.

I really think we should stop this now.

Well, of course you do.

Oh, Mick, please. I'm so frightened.

He summons me through like a dirty magazine. He makes my flesh creep.

What about the baby?

Do you think he'd risk his life for the baby?

What do you think?

Shall we find out?

What is it?

What's what?

There's something on your mind.

Tell me.

I'm pregnant.

I don't know what that means.

Are you crazy? That's the most fabulous news I've heard.

In all my life.

How do I know it's mine?

It appears nobody likes the slur time.

Good.

This changes nothing, lad.

This whole bloody ordeal is your creation.

When it's over, I shall get a restraining order to keep you away from

grandson. It's not over yet.

Franklin called?

No. Dex did.

What news?

He's got hold of a hundred grand.

That's a relief.

He lifted it from our joint account for Winterley.

Just about cleansed it out.

Forged my signature.

What did he create it for?

Is it?

I don't know.

I'd like to think I'd have done the same thing.

You believe this is for me?

Yes. Good.

Where is he?

I haven't the faintest idea. I'm sorry.

Where is Joseph? Who?

Look, I don't... That hurts.

Please.

Roman is a man of his word.

You've delivered his money.

You deliver your merchandise.

When and where I have the faintest idea.

My merchandise.

You don't know what this money's for?

I have no idea.

I'm just a bagman.

I'm listening.

Come to the holy city alone.

You can be Abraham.

I'll be God.

Willie, tell me you understand that.

Jerusalem. What? The holy city is Jerusalem.

When I came out of the church, my car was gone.

I feel bad.

That I was the last one to take money from you before you... Went under?

Yes.

I'm glad.

I like this house.

You do?

Why is that man here?

One felt a gesture at this juncture might be appropriate.

That I said all appropriate to you.

What's this?

My dear, it's a check to cover any minor irritations that might arise.

He's paid the ransom for you.

You and I, Tom.

Grumpy old sods.

Just touchy as hell.

My dear friend.

Abraham? What about him? God sent Abraham up to sacrifice his son.

Drive the car, Willie.

I'm going to call the police right now.

This is Roman offering me a private invitation, okay?

To do what?

Die?

Come on.

Now, let's just have a think about this.

He might be offering me a straight swap.

My life for Joseph's.

Derek, please.

This is not farting about for Blake and Franklin.

This is a head case with two hostages and a shotgun.

I know.

And what the hell have you got?

My life.

If I lose Joseph, it's the last of Joe, Willie. I've had it. I'm finished.

Do you understand?

Lose the baby, lose my life.

Same thing.

You're expecting me to drive you to your death.

I'm expecting you to drive.

Where is it?

Where's what?

Money.

You've been to collect the money.

Not true. I've been having a fiddle with the lights and the phones.

Making myself at home.

Saying hello to the place.

The ransom's a diversion, really.

Handy, of course.

A diversion from what?

Well, uh... The splendid time we're all having.

What's the matter, Anna, please?

I'm scared.

I'm scared you're going to hurt me.

No, I'm not going to hurt you.

You're going to hurt the baby.

Please, for God's sake, I love you.

If you loved me, you wouldn't treat me like this.

You wouldn't tie me up like a dog.

I'm so... I could...

Yeah, for touching you, I'm so jealous. I can't stand the thought of you being

with anybody else.

I'm not with anybody else. I'm with you.

Can't you understand that?

I'm in love with you.

But it was you who shot me in Africa.

Yes. Yes.

That's how much you terrify me.

Oh, my God, what am I doing?

Don't be frightened of me. I never meant you to be frightened of me.

I can change this. I can change it. Look at me. It's only me.

It's only me.

I can change this.

Too late.

Can't hear a thing.

Okay, Willie.

Stay by the phone.

If Robin comes up without me, call the law.

Only then.

Promise.

Promise.

I'm nervous as hell, Dex.

A proposition.

How would you like to be my tenant?

Smaller premises for a smaller business.

As your money comes in, we can do the place up.

Good grief.

But you would trust me?

Not to pull you to your ancestral home?

Not to build a dog racing stadium on your azaleas?

You value beauty.

You're respected.

If you try anything like that, I can always kill you.

Well, that sounds reasonable.

Strange bedfellows, Lopez.

Very strange.

I'm sure we can come to some arrangement.

It's your house.

I'm sure we can.

Winterly hot.

Miss Willie.

Where are you?

Let's call it a day now, shall we?

Your roots are showing, Derek.

You look like a peasant.

What did you have that I didn't, eh?

Willie.

Willie. Willie.

Willie! Run!

What?

He's behind you.

Oh, she tried to warn you, bless her.

So now what?

Well, now, Derek, it's make your mind up time. Remember, it's your

vote that counts.

What are you talking about?

Well, you cheated.

So people are going to have to die. I think that's only fair.

But because you've done so very well to get so far, I'm going to give you a

choice.

Anna or the baby.

Choose.

Choose, Derek, or they both go.

And that'll be your responsibility.

Shoot the baby.

Shut up!

Tell him to shoot the baby for God's sake. I don't want to die.

Kill her.

Go on.

Blow her head off.

Bit of a gamble, Derek. What if I don't love her anymore?

Yeah, but you do, don't you?

That's why we're here.

You don't love me, Roman.

You love the way you want me to be.

You haven't got the balls to love me the way I really am.

I'm too difficult for you.

The only way you can cope is to sit in prison masturbating about me.

Or drag me here and shackle me to the furniture. And even that you can't do

right.

No.

This whole thing is sick.

You wanted me because I was 17 and looked 10.

I'm 22 now, Roman.

I'm getting old, like you.

No, listen.

Old.

Try not to let this unfortunate incident come between you.

Where is he?

Mm -hmm.

Oh, no.

Oh, my God, no.

Lily.

Save my life, kid.

Save my life.

When they say we can go, I'll take you home.

Who's home? Mine.

Franklin's yours, too, if you want.

I'll explain it on the way, then.

I suppose you want to be alone with my daughter.

Very well.

Anna, tread carefully with this one.

I love her, Derek.

So do I.

The thing is, you don't.

Don't what?

Love me.

I told you to trust me.

I'm sorry.

That was a test.

I knew we wouldn't do it, Anna.

You knew?

For me, it's got to be everything or nothing at all.

And I don't think you can give me everything.

Because deep down you don't really want to.

You just can't let go.

Am I wrong?

Don't let me rush you.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what to say.

Nice light. Anna, please.

I never really replaced Joe. That's the joke.

Bye, Barry.

You win.

You win the legal system.

Two against one.

I don't stand a chance, not after all this.

We can't keep fighting, Tom.

It's better he grows up a miserable, safe old git like you than he sticks

me and ends up...

I don't know.

Like me.

Derek!

He's your son.

Take him.

My hands are very cold.
